LORE
Ultima Founding - New primaris chapters
Indomitus Crusade - Pla is to gift Primaris creation technology to all chapters. Gulliman is travelling spreading Primaris Technology and turning back the tide of Chaos and relieving Imperial Worlds
Primaris Marines - not just test tube creation, can also be recruits, or current marines adapted to the technology. Not all from Mars
Thoughts on Flesh Tearers and other Chapters dealing with the new Primaris Technology and engagement levels - some chapters may adopt, or reject the technology
Mk9 Armour - who knows what happened. Shrouded in mystery Xenos Races still around, not just Chaos.
Average Citizen in the Imperium has no idea Gulliman is back. No concept that Space Marines even exist in many cases.
Average Number of skulls on Primaris Armour - No average, personal choice
Back to Legion Strength? Retraction of Codex? - Wait and see. Refinement may happen
Primaris Marines - designed to be more resilient to chaos. Who knows if they can fall
Will more primarchs return? - Cowled one may be on his way soon

Units are a lot faster in 8th. Consolidation from combat to combat.
Old Initiative based modifiers now have different effects. Powerfist @-1 to hit. Faster modifiers will also occur.
Psychic Power Selection - Select from a list, or randomly generate.
Perils of the Warp still exists - causes damage in the form of mortal wounds
No Faction Specific Detachments - Army Specific Stratagems will exist though. There is a Force Org that will work for any current army. More command points, more stratagems
Stratagems - Imperial Fist Fortification Takedown Stratagem, White Scars Hit and Run equivalent. Different unit choices by pre-spending stratagem points before the game
Each Detachment must share at least one ‘Faction’ Keyword - More specific keywords open up more stratagems eg Imperium > Space Marines > Specific Chapter
Datasheets that supercede only half units may be held in reserves - Not in matched play, can be used in open or narrative

Characters can still travel with other units in transports. Transports have a model limit and keyword specifics, but not unit limits eg 2x 5 man squads
Snipers can bypass the nearest model rule - Most command squads have rules to get in the way of rules targeted at nearby characters. Tyrant Guard are specified. Can stand in the middle of units for a character and make it so it can’t be targeted except by Snipers
Drop Pods and units in them have 9” Deployment Restriction
Grav Weapons - Not toned down, rebalanced in line with everything else. Each gun has its place
Matched play designed for competitive play - still has options for the competitive player to optimise lists, stratagems and command points add extra depth. Combos around Psychic Powers and Keyword Synergies
Blast Weapons - Lots of shots, high damage to replace the old blasts
Invulnerable saves taken in place of normal saves - ignore AP modifiers. Some armies have rules which can be taken in addition to normal saves. Power from Pain (Dark Eldar) gives a 6+ after damage
Huge Monsters smash people up ‘are pretty good’ - lots of wounds, good save, bit faster. Hit hard in combat Wound Allocation - Defender Allocates
Entire Army of Dreadnoughts - Yes
Nids are still going to ‘wreck’ in close combat
Reasons to play Current Marines over Primaris - Yes, flexibility, weapon load outs. Different purposes in a list.
Mix of old and new psychic powers - Mind War still around. Some may function in different ways. Old Favourites and New Powers
How do they plan to collect feedback on rules? - Community Facebook Posts. Working on a live FAQ for the Warhammer Community Page, with up and downvotes
More involved in tournament organisation? - - Yes more involved. No specifics. Will highlight events on community page. Email if you want to spotlight an event or make it known. Contact [email protected]
Terminators will feel like Terminators
Playtesting will continue after launch and as new stuff is released

Alright gents let's review what we've learned today (crunch only):

>No Faction-specific Detachments.

>Faction-specific Stratagems. The more you focus on a sub-faction, the more you have access to. If all units in a Detachment share a Faction keyword you get access to that Factions unique Stratagems. So IMPERIUM only gets generic ones, SPACE MARINES also get Space Marine ones, BLOOD ANGELS get the above plus Blood Angels ones, and so on.

>Some Stratagems can be used before the game starts, and can modify a units battlefield role to manipulate Force Org chart, ie changing Elites to Troops at the cost of Command Points.

>Unwieldy weapons are a penalty To Hit (powerfists are -1 for example).

>Units that win combat can consolidate into combat.

>Vehicles that Fall Back from combat cannot shoot without a special rule, just like non-Vehicle units.

>Transports don't care about the number of units inside, only the models.

>Retinues can absorb Wounds for HQ choices.

>Invuln saves still work exactly the same.

>Power From Pain is a 6+ FnP

>Tyranid Monstrous Creatures are faster

>Balance updates will be ongoing

>You can choose anything that used to be a random table, like Psychic Powers and Warlord Traits

So, are GW retarded when it comes to realising how fucking big space is? Take the Tau for example with their near-lightspeed drives, does GW not realise that with a Sub-light drive system you cant call for backup to a warzone in a different star system in any timeframe which is going to make a damn bit of difference?

Oh, invaded by bugs are you? We'll send reinforcements immediately, they'll get there in about 9 years, just hold out.

There's a mention of them in the Tyranid Codex, where they fall back from one 'nid overun planet to another in a separate system, the Tyranids are described as making the journey in a couple of weeks, the Tau apparently somehow managed to make the trip a few days faster, because their "Horizon" near-lightspeed drives aren't affected by the shadow in the warp of the 'Nid presence.

Oh boy! I hope dark eldar vehicles with shock prows get increased chance to hit so I can literally ram my raiders into targets and do serious damage then jump all the wyches and incubi out for a good old scrap.

Trying to make some good out of what we've learned of rules and the only thing I can think of is:
>charge an enemy squad with wyches
>nearby HQ (and bodyguards?) Get a free charge to get in
>wyches have a chance to not let them escape while drazhar and his incubros slice everything up

Bonus points for charging from another flank and dragging another unit into the combat with the wyches- if the wyches are engaged with multiple units I presume each individual unit must win it's roll off?

>So, are GW retarded when it comes to realising how fucking big space is?
Yes, yes they are, but Tau do have FTL, it's just slow as fuck in comparison.

They still have the retarded idea that a fleet of "thousands" of ships consists a galactic-scale threat when really it's barely a picket force on that scale, and that one million Marines is actually relevant even if they all went around in a big ball.

Admech has proper scaled industry, but they never show it and one Forge World falls to a few hundred thousand Tau rather than just clearing them out and moving on because it's an ENTIRELY URBAN PLANET, which is at the least around ten billion people, and tens of millions of Kataphrons according to the CultMech dex.. Guard too, and among Xenos Orks and Nids.

This idea only makes sense to you because you don't value the idea of a "god" beyond a word and you've grown up in a secular, post-modern society that barely believes in facts.

You're questioning why religious people won't desecrate or profane the mortal form of their living god like you legitimately believe you've made some kind of humorously intelligent observation. It's because that's the body of their literal god, and they are religious.

Any predictions on how good ramming is going to be?

Seems like non-tank vehicles can expect to get about half a hit on average based on the annihilation barge. Presumably tanks get a better chance to hit (5+) and maybe a few more attacks. Hopefully ork and DE vehicles do it a bit more reliably.

Strength is 5 for the barge, which is the same as it would be in 7th edition. If that carries through, expect tanks to be S 7-10

Without any AP and damage presumably stuck a 1, I don't see much hope of them really wrecking each other nearly as often as they would before. At least they work against infantry now.

I'm vaguely hopeful that either high-S will come with free AP and extra damage in CC or there will be a bonus to hit vehicles.

What? Maybe I'm missing a concept here, but a comparative lack of theism does not inherently strip respect from the entire rest of the universe. Hell, sometimes it even enhances it, if everything isn't necessarily attributed to whatever Supreme Being you may prefer. The lack of an innate purpose to the universe doesn't prevent us wanting to learn the truth of it.

Would it have killed them to have a 7+ system for wounding? Sure, as a Guard player it's funny that my grunts can theoretically kill anything, but it rather shits on the previously super tough stuff who only receive extra wounds that get sapped by all the new multi-damage weapons.

Also rather makes my Skitarii Vanguard redundant, wounding stuff that you couldn't normally wound on 6s is now a thing everyone has.

You idiot. The invasion of Gorgon happened before the Third Sphere where the Tau upgraded their engines to achieve new speeds which lead to the rapid invasion.

>where they fall back from one 'nid overun planet to another in a separate system,

Your reading skills is that of a moron. The fighting took place in the Sept of Kel'shan. Sept means system. The Tau travelled from one planet to the next within the same system. The Tyranids took many days to cross that distance.

Tau speeds as far as a we know are 1/5 to 1/3 of Imperial warp speed.

Guard too, and among Xenos Orks and Nids.

A single Riptide is more than a match for a battalion of admech tanks that included a Baneblade, and the Tau have been known to mass deploy Riptides by the many dozens in the battlefield. Refer to the fall of Forgeworld Halus (The short story "Patient Hunter"). The Admech forces were powerless before the power of the Riptide which led the leading Magos to cry out in fear and despair.

You must understand how far removed the Tau technology is from the Imperium (admech included in most cases). What you are saying that the Iraqis with their crappy gear should beat the US armed forces in open warfare because they have the numbers and home field advantage. It doesn't work like that.

If only FTL actually meant anything in 40k, the only speeds are "Slower than plot" and "Faster than plot". So one moment the Tau are taking swathes of land without anyone noticing and then people get stuck in the warp for years and so are late to a battle.

Yes, because that particular Adept was bonded to the Baneblade, it was his sacred duty to watch over the holy machine, it's still a piece of shit compared to what the AdMech can actually make, everything the Imperium has is. The AdMech can, canonically, make far better Lasguns, they just decide not to, their standard tank-like walkers have weapons that are both smaller and more powerful than the Hammerhead's railgun.

I think you seriously underestimate the actual bullshit the Adeptus Mechanicus is capable of, don't think the words of a single high ranking Adept are indicative of value, either, the whole point of the Martian Priesthood is they always consider their current rank a holy and respected one, while those above them are even more holy and revered.

>>53307939
>A single Riptide is more than a match for a battalion of admech tanks that included a Baneblade

The Baneblade is not an Admech tank. They occasionally use the ones they have in the factories, sure. I can't find that story in the MEGA, but beating fifty Leman Russes and a Baneblade isn't much compared to Kataphrons, Sicarians, Cybernetica and the Centurio Ordinatus or Ordo Reductor, The only thing Tau have that can match an Ordinatus Minoris is a few Supremacy Suits at once, since they're designed to tank hits from Warlord Volcano Cannon and Heavy Railguns aint got shit on those.

Causing one Magos to be scared isn't hard, most of the Admech fighters are just normal Magi who showed an aptitude for war.

>Many Dozens
That is a truly pitiful amount of heavy ordnance, compared to the SoE of a single Cybernetica Cohort. One CC is anywhere from 300 to 600 Cybernetica robots, and Forge Worlds have hundreds of thousands of the things.
Beating up on some shitty Guard division isn't exactly impressive. How many Tau were involved in this invasion again?

>Anon, Baneblades are considered more valuable than pretty much any commander that could be given command of them

As told to the Imperials by the Adeptus Mechanicus, who can and do frequently make better than even the most holy works they grant unto mankind's hands, before telling them that their lives are worthless in comparison to the machine. Plasma Guns are considered worth more than the soldiers that carry them, even though the standard pattern granted to non-AdMech are inferior to the ones they can craft.

Don't mistake reverence of the machine with necessary reverence due to extinction or rarity, for the AdMech are taught to respect the machines that match their station, and in so doing teach the Imperium to revere all machines.

Lets be fair between marine, chaos and Tau wank lore I have no idea which one is worst.
>>
>>53308212
Where did I say the lore doesn't count? It does count, a Riptide killed a Baneblade, cool, except the AdMech can make, and do make, much better. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying you're grasping at straws to stretch a perfectly normal situation to your advantage. The loss of a Baneblade, however much it hurts the Adept who drives it, is a pittance against the true war engines of the Mechanicus.
>>
>>53308167
You do know that Halfus was a noted Forgeworld for producing a brand of hardy warships that can withstand Tyranid weaponry, IIRC. In all likeness, the Forgeworld admech firces had all the junk you mentioned and more besides. But guess what? They lost all the same.

If you remain unconvinced, then you should wait for the FW book that has the Tau invading another forgeworld.
>>
>>53308212
Tau Riptides get BTFO by just a single marine using a krak grenade in BL novels.

Tau tech is trash.
>>
>>53308243
I mostly remain unconvinced since the Skitarii smashed through Tau defensive lines and generally just stomped all over them whenever they were mentioned in Mont'ka, the same book in which the Tau show off their power against Marines and Guard.
>>
>>53308159
Yes, in their home systems, but as they expand it gets farther and farther away, they're not recruiting from the fringe worlds for anything other than PDFs because they are all humans so it all has to come from the center of their territory.

That's anotehr thing, at what point does the human population of the Tau empire eclipse the Tau population? Everything they expand into is all humans with a few exceptions where they use BS terriforming to make a habitable planet in a few years. And even if they go full tank growth for their population, they're not going to keep up.

It's not a FnP it's a reanimation. Meaning your shiny multiwound units can come back to life with (assumedly) full wounds. Your archon is now terrifying to deal with. Wyches can hang around far longer then they need to. Grotesques can be scary mother fuckers again
>>
>>53308301
That's the spirit, m8.
>>
>>53308268
The Tau were outnumbered many times over by a collection of all manner of Imperial forces, and the Tau considered the marines the greatest threat which necessitated them using the mirrorcodex. It's not the indicator of the Admech abilities due to these facts.
>>
>>53308212
>>53308213
Where is this story in the MEGA? I can't find it.

Also, yeah Baneblades are cool by Guard standards, but by Admech grade they are a reasonable line tank.
Saying "We beat those things offscreen without a mention, therefore superior" is a little much. I am looking forward to that book, actually, I'm fairly certain the Admech will outperform the Tau with the help of Heresy tech in their contingency vaults, and FW always does the best campaigns.
Have you seen the Ordinatii? The Ordo Reductor rolling bombardments? The Myrmidax? Tau currently have been scrapping with the Admech equivalent of the PDF, and when Admech military proper showed up in Mont'Ka they managed to seal the entire Tau Empire off for months while stealing a boatload of tech while the Marines were dying.
>>
>>53308329
I seem to recall the Astartes/Militarum taking a separate flank to the Mechanicus, so unless the Tau were actively ignoring their side of the fight to help the Fire Caste on the opposite end of the battlefield the Skitarii still smashed through Tau lines on their own power.

Not to get in between this fascinating back and forth, but I also believe they will be restricted to a long charge. Now they may be able to reroll a dice, but I cannot see them keeping a 3 inch turn one charge now that the rest of the game has had to be balanced. That would be assanine.

Yes, there needs to be more gay Dark Angels because there aren't enough gay people in the game, and Dark Angels are fabulous and virile enough to satisfy many gay players

Also Primaris marines means there can be women marines who are just as strong (or stronger!) than the men, about 51% of all marines from now on should be women so they can be representative of the world's population instead of just being masculine.

Except GSC were always balanced, and now that the enemy can run backwards out of combat, overwatch multiple times, and everyone can charge from deep strike, the cult ambush rules are obviously going to get some sort of boost to make them still feel like a prepared ambush that's more powerful than a random teleport-and-charge
>>
>>53308377
To be fair, Necron territory is often sparesly populated by actual Necrontyr and is more of a 'death by metal men be here' on the map, chances are they'll run into more Humans than Necrons until they get deep into that territory, but yes, it's theoretically Sautekh-zone.

And they still won the battles they actually fought, with roughly even numbers. And if they can do that, they can win with many times the resources and breaking open a few contingency plans. You can't say that the enemy victories are irrelevant for them being outnumbered ELSEWHERE and then say that you can destroy anything they have so long as it never appears on screen.

I am not said to see drop pod armies go away. It's impossible to balance right because of how insane of a safe alpha strike it is. Unless you give everybody interceptor or make marines so weak they only work when you play drop pod armies. Either way is shit.
>>
>>53308377
Necron territory is mostly also human territory where the necrons just haven't woken up yet and are just waiting for either their alarm clocks to go off or some Archaeologist to go poking their nose where it doesn't belong.

Besides which, it's worse to expand into Necron space as it's nearly always shit quality planets with the added spice of xenocidal property owners.

Ah, found it. Yeah, that was just a bunch of Russes and a single Baneblade, that's not much by Guard standards save the 'Blade, and by Admech standards is pretty much fuck all.

Should I buy the old codexs for lore? Or do the new ones have more lore?
>>
>>53308586
old codices have better art but outdated lore
>>
>>53308571
It's a natural course of events. Marines are wanked over the moon and back, then the Tau writers decide to wank them off even harder, which becomes a massive fest of shit fluff, forcing the fandom to split over the pro-Imperial, pro-Tau and fanatics who cannot accept that most modern fluff is not only unreliable due to inconsistency, but just nonsense to hype up a faction rather than something to be taken as the norm.

Then we get arguments like this. The AdMech vs. Tau tech discussions were far more civil and reasonable, with some exceptions, admittedly, a few editions ago, now it's just powerwank over 'muh Marines' or 'muh Riptides killing a gorillion enemies solo.'
>>
>>53308125

Where did you see anything about PfP?
>>
>>53308586
The new ones omit a lot of the lore to save space. You should download the old ones especially the ones from 5th ED since they are the richest of them when it comes to content.
>>
>>53308586
New codexes are also gonna have lore and stories in them. If you want to keep up with the recent developments in the GrimDark I'd wait and get those.

Unless you plan on getting vouchers for the outdated books and getting models with those.
>>
>>53308586
>should i buy the old codexes for the lore
depends on hwo highly you value the lore
unless you're a real big collector just get the pdf's from the op and read trough them
>will the new ones have more lore
well the first ones are gonna be giant compilations of rules for models of all kind of factions so they'll likely have very litlle fluff in them , look at the grand alliance battletomes in aos for reference , usually each faction has a 2 page intro and that's it , no page long exposition like in codexes for a single faction
>>
>>53308610
Do the newer ones have a decent amount of lore? Should I just wait for 8th edition?
>>
>>53308586
The older ones have more and, at least in my opinion, better lore, but a lot of the fluff in them has either been discarded or the desires of the modern writers, so they're more of a museum of how the previous writers saw the setting than reliable assets for modern fluff conversation.

Still worth getting, though.

Templar crusader blobs with a land raider crusader will be top tier since their dedicated transport can shoot and then charge in with them

>first wave of your assault are all of your now-empty dedicated transports running over shooting units before the infantry close the gap

>>
>>53308777
>implying it wasn't always active from T1

It wasn't though? You got no benefits turn 1, 6+ feel no pain on turn 2, and it only became normal feel no pain on turn 3.

This is a direct upgrade for the first 2 turns, and arguably a trade-off on the third for less survivability against small arms but more against big guns.
>>
>>53308803
Well it is hard to shoot at people running at you with chainswords while the tank they came out of is attempting to run you over I imagine.
>>
>>53308777
Well power from pain might give you something beyond just that as well. It could well have buff mechanics or whatever in addition but the rule just gives that 6+ fnp to all that have it. Maybe letting you burn Command Points for it if you're pure DrewCarey or wych cults or some shit
>>
>>53308777
>>53308836
You guys are all forgetting how many units in this game will have special rules that do added shit. "Add 1 to the Power From Pain rolls for all DRUKHARI units within 7" of this model" is like a fucking shoe-in for some Characters.
>>
>>53308586
If you want cool old lore consider the Index Imperialis and Index Chaotica books. I'd pass on the rest.
>>
>>53308874
That too. Rerolling PfP rolls, getting bonuses to them, there's all sorts of ways it can be better.
>>
>>53308874
Those weird floating flesh machines and haemonculi will probably boost Power from Pain.

But I guess that unless it's a 2+ save against everything from the get go Dark Eldar players would rather not have it.
>>
>>53308908
Yep. Certainly doesn't matter that Tau lost out even more with Markerlights being a simple reroll of 1s. No, a 1 in 6 chance to make use of your army-wide benefit isn't enough.
>>
>>53308908
>unless it's a 2+ save against everything from the get go

I'm curious as to how DEldar cover save things will work now. It might be nice if they can really give enemies some penalties to hitting.

It'd be neat if they also brought back some of those fun things they had to reduce enemy gun ranges
>>
>>53308940
People are overstating this. The article said ONE Markerlight is re-roll 1's. It's probably the case that two Markerlight hits re-rolls 1's and 2's, and so on.
>>
>>53308874
A +1 to PfP combat drugs result seems likely. I wonder if they'd let us pick drugs for once since Psychics can be picked now.
>>
>>53308874
>>53308898

Except those are going to be the Covens shit, and that means you're going to be mixing factions and have fewer command points and strategems.

>>53308908

>hurr only beyond extreme will make people happy!

Anything better that a fucking 6+ would have been nice, actually. It's been one of Dark Eldars things since basically forever, but apparently "Power" means "worthless 1/6th of the time"

In the faction focus article we learned that DE vehicles have a 5+ invulnerable save against shooting, so that's nice already.

Still not a 2+ though :^)
>>
>>53308978
Or maybe rerolling 1s is the only BS boost. Or maybe it'll be 4 Markerlights for full rerolls. Or maybe the only other thing is firing Seeker missiles that don't need to roll to hit.

Depending on the rules for terrain granting cover, you might be able to get a 2+ if they have a 4+ base and +2 terrain exists.

And then you still have the Invuln and possibly Jinking for a BS penalty if somebody shoots a lascannon to try and punch through all that.
>>
>>53309019
Or maybe additional markerlight hits each do something different.

Like one hit is reroll 1's to hit, two hits is that and another -1 save modifier for the opponent, etc.

The most I would expect would be a Markerlight bonus that ignores terrain bonuses to AP, similar to what we got rumor of Noise Marine guns doing.

Honestly though, I think the idea of leaving it as just rerolls works better, now that the idea of camoflouge, smoke, and moving fast are going to be BS penalties that their laser pointers and scanners would easily penetrate and see through, while terrain, walls, and hard objects would still need a railgun to actually blast through it and kill the guy on the other side.
