There is actually something quite offputting about the face of the one on the right, due to the double sets of teeth. It makes it somehow harder to focus your sight on it even irl. It's quite strange.

And here's the current project I'm working on in larger scale sculpts. Haven't had time for any of it since I started 40k again a few months ago, barely even have time for 40k with all the time I spend on work.

Post your dudes background updated up to the indomitus crusade!

Post WIPs

Well my girls are already on the fringe of the Galaxy.

They have Bulkier armour because the Cannoness won a tarot game against the Magos that supply their armours. Since he is a massive salty sore loser he sent my Sisters bulkier armour.
Resulting in Inquisitors coming to check the Church Heresy only to be greeted by very piss off Sisters, in armour that makes them look fat.
Some rumours say that unusual amount of Penitent psykers are Interrogators that asked too many questions

So, I'm probably late to the discussion, but knight armies still basically break the game, right?

>You can take an all Lord of War army, it's not just battleforged, but gives you a fair number of command points (especially since each command point goes further when you are playing a small number of units).
>You still need specialist tools to deal with them effectively.
>Those tools seem to be more expensive than last edition.
>They aren't even vulnerable to being surrounded any more.

Why didn't they just roll them into the Adeptus Mechanicus faction?

Also, I guess ion shield now not bothering with facing means that facing is gone entirely.

Were DEs a nid-tier shit in 7 edition? I have never been interested with them but my girlfriends want to start playing 40k with me. I know that Eldars are top-tier and Harlequins are amazing Kill Team faction but actually I know nothing about DE gameplay

>>53328377
To be fair the ion shield is now 5++, while the 3+ of the armour it's not that impossible to get through

not to say we can wound it on 5+ with str5 weapons and it's going to get procedurally worse as the wounds are chipped

I don't know how punitive its stomp is, otherwise it looks very weak to being swarmed in melee

>>53328291
Do you have an art background? Your sculpts look more professional than anything home sculpted I've seen in a while.
>>53328310
None were posted, but there was enough shit to warrant exterminatus.
>>53328377
Isn't that LoW detachment battle-forged?

>>53328421
they're considered shit. might as well w8 and see what happens with 8th edition since it's going to completely change the meta. who knows maybe DE will become top tier. maybe the game will be balanced

>>53328276

what is the battle canon now

also do we know what ordnance does/if it's still a thing? hopefully the defiler will become unfucked this edition, currently it's useless because ordnance means it can't fire its other weapons which is A+ retarded design. I want to shoot a battle canon, heavy flamer, reaper autocannon, and havoc launcher from the same crab all at once.

>>53328456
Not really, just always liked sculpting, drawing and painting as hobbies. Found my interest in sculpting the first time I bought some GS back in my early teens, then kept sculpting non-warhammer stuff after I quit the warhammer hobby (just got back into 40k ~4 months ago when I heard of the Traitor Legions book)

>>53328633
Yeah, retraction issued.

>>53328421
DEldar in 7th were pretty low tier, and also really focused on sticking dudes in venoma to use as gunboats.

The good news is that Raiders seem better, and depending on how their basic gun works Gunboat tactics might be better than ever. They're also going to be really fast now, though I expect they'll still want transports.

As long as point costs pan out and melee is decent I think they'll find a place.

Well then. I guess you hit the jackpot buddy. 8e is around the corner and I don't think DE will be auto-doomed, so you should be fine. Maybe w8 4 8 just to be sure.

>>53328669
Maybe it won't be too bad if LRBTs are dirt cheap, at least it won't force snap fire anymore so taking sponsons isn't completely retarded. On another note they'll probably gut the Exterminator too, keeping the same amount of shots but no twin-linked because Heavy 8 Autocannons would be too good.

>>53328754
that's basically how the plasma cannon worked in 7th. getting 3 hits with a small blast was pretty lucky. and look how shit that battle cannon is.

We probably will but just wanted to gather some more informations. Shame that the DE girl will be not able to play Shadow Wars "legaly" - Pathfinders and Dire Avengers are fine but Kabalite Warriors have no rules for SWA. I mean I don't mind proxying Wyches with models she will own but on the other hand I can't blame players that will insist to actually play with proper models

>>53328832
based on the rules for the battle cannon it seems likely. nobody is saying it's good.

and before plasma cannons were a small blast they were literally just 2 shots at 36", at least in my old space wolves codex.

/40kg/ finally hit some threshold where even the dark mods where forced to take action. Wow. Any who… I have some write faggotry where my chaos lord Beornwulf attacks my homebrew Chapter, but before he lands his troops planet side he activates a demonic construct he devised called The Choir. It basically consists of a large chamber, the walls lined with Thousands of lobotomized psychers. When The Choir is activated they all emit psychic screams into a large mass of Eldar Spirit Stones that act as a focusing iris, which then transfers the psychic energy into a captured hive tyrant. The device is meant to replicate the psychic presence of a hive fleet making the gene stealer cult he planted flip shit and throw the planets defenses into chaos. On a scale of 1 to perpetuals how fluff rape is this?

>>53328870
I wonder how many models can use nades in melee. And i hope there is still demolision doctrine.

Assuming we have to pay for upgrades. No clear point cost of any kind scares me.
I know there is supposed to be a point system, but right now it is rather absent in the blogs.

We might end with 250 points Riptides but 100 Leman Russ because lol d6 damages!

>>53328910
they did an entire article on the points system. the points for options will be listed in another part of the books. the points are intentionally not listed on the stat sheets so that they can update them to balance the game.

RELEASE THE RULES
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MODELS TO BUY
REEEEEEEEEEE

Are people being retarded about the guns on purpose? Or is this genuine short sightedness? You give up the large blast, which under the best of circumstances could hit 9 or 10 models, and in exchange for MAYBE hitting those 9 or 10 models with a PERFECT scatter, you can now hit one target Fucking 6 times. This turns large blast weapons from 100% anti troop to highly versatile weapons. Blast weapons can now be used effectively vs everything on the field

The GW previews seem to make a big deal about vehicles being more durable, but is that actually the case? Seems like the ones we've seen need fewer lascannon hits to knock out. They are a little tougher against tau missile pods and half-range melta, but can also be damaged by a wider range of weapons than before.

>>53328310
it's a difficult one anon, cause there rules (especially now that chainswords are a specific weapon with their own rules) are going to affect who I start in for 8th.

If Deathwing get decent rules and aren't just relegated to being terminators in white armour then I may resurrect my old models and maybe will try to get some dark vengeance squads on the cheap, but of course Deathing are Deathwing, not much I can do to make them /my_dudes/

If Fallen/Alpha legion rules are reasonable then I'm keen on picking up some of the 30k boxes and forgeworld stuff and starting up a Fallen themed (possibly chaos) army.

Fluff:
My dudes are a Storm-wing assault company that believes that they were ordered by the Lion to garrison Caliban under Luther's command because there was a very real threat of the Imperium falling to Chaos and that they were among chosen to defend Caliban if the Lion failed at Terra.
Prior to the return of the 1st legion fleets return, intelligence reports were circulated stating that Terra had fallen and that chaos forces intended to invade Caliban using captured 1st legion vessels.
They never discovered the truth, they spent the early battle in reserve under radio silence to avoid detection. By the time they were deployed all hell had broke loose and no-one really knew what they hell was going on.
Before they reached their target [the Strike Cruiser Porksword of Girlyman or something] Their warhawk was pulled into the warp with all hands.

10k years later they get spat out of the warp on a Knight world, along with a bunch of hungry daemons.
The survivors spend three days defending the wreck of their crashed Warhawk from daemons and other things before being discovered by one of the Local knights errant sent to investigate the disturbances up in the mountains

about to run up against character limit.

This girls are cheap by comparison!

Hey there, new player here, thinking of joinning the hobby.
So I just stumbled upon two very cheap "start collecting" boxes.
One is filled with Nurgle Daemons, the other one is the Militarum Tempestus box.

I have all 4 Assassins painted up, and have about a random box of Plaguebearers of Nurgle and a single box of Slaaneshi Daemons that I collected over the past decade for random reasons.

The promo won't last long, I'm really torn between the two forces. Any advice?

Get the Nurgle Daemons. There's a sister game, Age of Sigmar, that uses daemons as well, and it's the same models. Even if you don't like 40k, Daemons make for a decent Age of Sigmar force, so you're hedging your bets while supporting the squads you already have.

>>53329162
Go with nurgle - daemons can be used in both 40k and AoS and they are the most idiot-proof, newbie friendly AoS faction. With two start collecting boxes you have a legal 1000pts army. Death Guard will be a part of new 40k starter set box so you will be able to make a pretty fun universal army

>>53329072

They're making a big deal about EVERYTHING being better. They hyped up the Battle Cannon too and without some special rule to make it better, it's seriously lackluster. Remember that even new-GW is still a company, and whilst I applaud their new approach of community engagement, they still want to sell you stuff. They're hardly going to stand up and say "Well vehicles are a bit flimsier this edition!"

Black Templars with bolt pistol and chainsword might be as killy as slugga boyz now!

Only dudes I have who would be affected are pretty traditional, focused on the codex, and subscribe heavily to the idea that the Imperium's history and relics are better.

Doubt they'd like a bunch of new shit showing up, even if it's from a Primarch. Probably roll their eyes when the new guys can't fit into the chapter's relic armor sets and have them permanently stuck in the 10th company on technicality.

Maybe I'll have them end up on the far side of the rift, and have them send the new recruits off to fortify terra or help Guilliman or something

>>53329162
I'm not sure what is in the militarum box but I know that the Nurgle Daemons box is an excellent deal on its own. The 3 plague drones are worth 60 bucks alone and you pretty much get everything you could want for those guys.

Except in 40k this is provably true, because of the wide gap between good models and bad throughout.

After the daemonic invasion of Commoragh, the Kabal of the Iron Knife cast off the veil of secrecy and now gleefully wars against their kin at the side of Khorne's daemons. Convinced the apocalypse is at last at hand, Archon Aethiliax has dispatched strike forces to wage for for god and master across the length and breadth, hoping thereby to cement themselves as the Blood God's true chosen.

Makes you wonder if Eldar could get away from Slaanesh by dedicating them to another god. Khorne seems the natural choice, as the guy kicked Slaaneshs ass the first time, and an Eldar sure could collect a lot of skulls. But the again, wouldn't that be just another trap? They still would fall to Chaos, and who knows if Slaanesh won't just snag them from Khorne anyway.

cont.but brief cause I'm already bored of typing

Long story short, they resurrect "The Order" and supply initiates with weapons and armour in so far as they are able to manufacture it. This rubs the Knights and mechanicus up the wrong way because a) Social change as The Order is competing with the knights and b) Non-Mechanicus plebs manufacturing arms.

Cypher Turns up just in time to stop resentment turning into fully fledged conflict and is all like
>hey you're going to get yourselves killed if you carry on like that, Also meet Captain [whatever] he's a rogue trader and he's going to get you off this godforsaken rock before you start a war
My guys join up and leave taking members of the Order (represented as cultists) with them.
Sudden power vacuum coupled with an armed citizenry causes the knight world to fall into civil war and openly rebel against the Imperium
Dark angels investigate and find a whole bunch of Order of Caliban paraphernalia and gear knocking about and eventually shrine comprised the wrecked war-hawk surrounded by trenches and a pavise wall made of the Storm wing boarding shields.

Well, starting with the living psyker device of thousands of living things incited to pain and screaming from their souls turned into a weapon.

Thumbs up! Grimdark, over the top, you've arrived at 40k station.

Focusing all of that massed psychic energy for the purposes of a particular goal in a convoluted way, aces.

Eldar soulstones don't really make sense to trigger a mass nid reaction though. Why not trapped zoanthropes, or actual bits of hive ship brain.

Also, why plant genestealers in the first place? Chaos and nids don't get along, Shadow in the Warp and all that.

>>53329354
Isn't that idea exactly what they're doing with Ynnead?

So now everything is basically impossible to kill, are we going to basically spend 6 turn having a nice cup of tea, and talking things out?

>>53329403
Well, I guess it works with Ynnead because that's an Eldar-only club, while Khorne is...well, Khorne. and the powers of the god are ever waning and rising, so there's really not much they could do if Slaanesh gets more powerful and just drags their souls back to the Smutthrone. Meanwhile, Ynnead seems to work, and it can only get stronger by getting more Eldar-souls.

They're the evolution of a Xanatite Explorator fleet, who were out of the Imperium's territory when the Horus Heresy broke out. They got shot at for being from a Traitor system, decided fuck it and returned to a cushy system they'd found in their trip, dug in and started terraforming the place with their overly large complement of Magi Biologis/Genetors.

The fleet is still there, dug into a system that would be a fortress by cosmological standards, even before it became a collection of Forge Worlds, gun platforms and energy farms. The Genetors continued their experimentation, slowly developing research paths that were sealed in the Vaults of Moravec for good reason before, combined with some of the Vodian research from their last homeworld, and before too many centuries had passed could be considered the equal of any in the Dark Mechanicum. Strange corrosive bio-weapons, living ships, creatures of the Warp bound screaming to flesh as the Soul Forge did to metal. Occasionally, a rumour would spread of the "Old Mechanicus" beyond the Ghoul Stars, but aside from a few missing ships little was found besides worlds picked clean and poisoned more subtly than the Plaguefather tended to. Inquisitorial attention had been planned, but was dramatically disrupted by the onset of the Thirteenth Black Crusade.

Now, with the onset of the Cicatrix Maladictum, their fleet is rearming for was once again, sensing the onset of a new Ruinstorm. They serve no gods, no masters, but they sense opportunity. The new rifts hid their fleet from the Space Marine chapter guards of the Ghoul Stars, and now they move south towards the path through the Great Rift, bearing weapons not seen for a dozen millennia. The Pale Wasting has returned.

cause the nature of the gene stealer cults make them good at infiltrating every aspect of a society, but the main point is that his chaos cultist already worked hard to infiltrate the chapters serfs and worked with the local chaos sorcerer to open up a warp portal to actually get his space hulk to the planet. his cultist send messages to the inquisition saying that the chapter has fallen to chaos and they're planning to open up a portal to flood the world with daemons. these encrypted messages are decoded far to late.

You can never truly cast the villain as the protagonist. You may claim its irony, but in truth its sympathy.

The formatting seems there and I like the concept, as much as people are likely to shit on you for making homebrew and for a game we've not seen yet. I had an idea for a Squat-expy army using the Imperial Militias list, but now I'll have to see what FW do to it.

>>53329859
You may think of them as the villian, but you are secretly rooting for them. The narrative is always from the same perspective.

The story is never tolled by a bored propagandist, an imperial rebel, a seditious spy, the Space Marines are heros.

They have to be, right?

>>53329859
>And we all know who the real villain of 40k is..
WAACfags of any colour.

Cause if a space marine ever does something morally dubious, such as, oh, say, declaring himself the new emperor, there would never be tremendous backlash from loyalists.

All those high lords, those warrants of trades, those planetary governers and officials inside the inquisition and the echlesiarchy, they would bear no further scrutiny. They would not twist under the thumb of the new emperor, why, his rule should not chaff them one bit, now will it?

That just couldn't happen in the 40k universe.

>>53330179
they really aren't.

In fact, you might say they are the main reason the Imperium continues to function the way it has. By supporting the Imperium blindly and allowing it to continue to function the way it has, they are the most ardent supporters of fascism in the 40k universe.

They are the reason the system is broken, because instead of directing their efforts at Terra, they focus them on outward threats.

And of course, not to do so is to "fall to chaos".

ITS NOT FAIR

>>53330054
The problem with knights is generally when you field a whole army of them. They aren't overpowered per se, it's being able to field an entire army which can only be killed with specialist weapons which causes issues.

So long as no more than about half your points are in vehicles / other stuff which is near immune to small arms it should be fine.

Of course, your local meta may have a different opinion and knights are an easy target to point at for whiners who like to blame their losses on game balance issues.

>>53330226
>they focus on outward threats
No fucking shit.
They're super SOLDIERS, not super politicians.

>Peasant Farmer says "Fuck the Imperium."
>No one cares cause they're having cool space battles.

>>53330279
Considering Agriworlds are actually a pretty sweet deal? Yeah, that's less likely.

Agriworlds don't have peasant farmers. That's for feudal worlds. Agriworlds have small populations that get to use pretty advanced farming machines, live somewhere lush, and generally not have to do backbreaking labor or get conscripted, since machines do most of the work and their tithe is paid in food.

>>53330261
And they did.
Back when GW first started, you think they went unopposed? You think parents didn't flip their shit? You think people didn't think of us the same way they used to view heavy metal and satanists?

>>53330115
if you want a knight just get one, fuck what people say. knights are cool, who doesn't actually like them as a concept/model?

it's just obnoxious when people abuse them. know what kind of game you are playing and you will be fine. just don't do shit like field it in a 500 point casual game against a new player.

>>53330279
They should have a problem with it. The enemy is at the gates. If your country was being invaded and your government decided to conscript you or make you manufacture munitions that'd be understandable. The troublemakers who want to talk about unrealistic utopias need to be put down, there is no time to negotiate wages when Chaos could destroy all of humankind.

>>53330398
I don't know what you're talking about

>>53330388
No, but most stuff which used to ID marines will do multiple wounds now. Battlecannons do D3 for example, so every failed save has a 2/3 chance of killing a primarine.

Sup /tg/, I decided to start Ultramarines for 8E. You might of seen me mention my shit before but, anyways, here's the situation.

I bought the collector's box, some scouts, and have pieced together decade+ worth of odds and ends to come up with the following...

1x Terminator Captain
1x Terminator Chaplain (the nice old metal one, found him in a shoe box!)
50x Terminators, approximately, enough bits for nearly any build
60x Marines of varying sorts, enough to make squads out of but not devs
5x Scouts
1x Rhino
1x Whirlwind from 2E

I plan to kit the scouts out with sniper rifles given the new edition's IC rule set likely meaning sniping characters is a thing....

That said: How should I build out things, do you think? Or should I wait for full 8E to drop before I start modelling... I have a limited window of time, and by the time they drop 8E I may not have long enough to get done before Fall.

Any ideas on what do?

are you telling me somebody is really meant to take that as some sort of legal disclaimer? "We will not be held responsible if your child joins a Hitler Youth Group" is a far cry from "lol, we are super edgy teenagers come join us!"

I'm legitimately trying to think of a good scheme for inquisitorial stormtroopers made from scions. Traditional black armor with red fatigues?

Lets face it, 40k is a last ditch effort before taking your kid for a car ride and leaving them out in the woods. Their parents are already frazzled, there is only so much shit they are willing to take. You start flashing them spades on radio or television, if you start putting out print ads in Target or Walmart, people are going to notice.

>>53330448
Well I will see how krak missiles are

I love missile launchers and if can wreck the primaris marines all the better. The new vehicle rules even seem gentler on the historically poor missiles

Not that I dislike primaris marines, but I have always loved missile launchers

>>53330463
Fuck off, if you haven't thought this through you're either a troll or new.

>>53330433
I'm so sorry

>>53330463
it's from the 40k rulebook

>>53330470
>40k IS a warning label against fascism.
Only when you see fascism as a bad things already. I see a human species under threat of annihilation and fascism is the only thing holding it together. Sure it's inefficient across every margin, until you consider the overwhelming cost of adopting and updating to another form of government, in which case it's not so unreasonable. The Imperium is the best government possible amongst a host of bad options under a priori terrible conditions.

>>53330271
>If GW didn't give a shit about howling scathing fans, who actually buy the fucking game, then what makes you think they'll give even a modicum of a shit about people who don't buy it?

Because unlike their fans, parents criticisms have some effect on sales.

Fair enough, it's more a warning label against Theocracy.

>>53330470
People don't like tragedies and don't get ironically poetic worldbuilding
Also, they will try to relate to any figure that opposes evil, regardless of how evil the former is in itself

When I see "scathing antifa blogger" I don't really think "parent." They probably aborted whatever children they would have had.

>>53328900
Noice

>>53330456
Sniper scouts seem like a solid choice. Vehicles are monobuild, so might as well go ahead with them. For the rest of your guys, I'd build the bolter dudes and hang back on special and heavy weapons until we know more. Terminators should probably wait until you read the rules too. I think 40-odd marines and a couple of tanks should be enough to keep you busy for a month.

>>53330582

okay i allready got a massive thousand sons army aswell as dark angels, grey knights, daemons and tyranids and inquisition.


the information for the bonus just came and with all the upcoming releases boyyyy its hard to decide.

>>53330398
>aggressively expansionist empire
orks wage war just because it's fun
tyranids consume everything in their path just because it's there
necrons want to enslave or kill all of humanity just for stepping on their law
eldar see humans as inferior peasants and dark eldar use them for torture slaves and gladiators
tau are ACTUALLY an aggressively expansionist empire that won't take no for an answer
(not to mention that aliens actively oppressed, subjugated and enslaved the entire galaxy for thousands of years during the age of strife)

I don't think it's humanity's fault their besieged from all sides mate

You don't have to give me the old stuff, just maybe not make it feasible to ascend in Khorne's favor by juicing enough babies in a black fury.

"Khorne cares somewhat from whence the blood flows, but is generally accepting so long as it flows."

Whichever one you fucking well want. If you want us to decide, give us some more information. Have you already got one or more armies? Do you want the new one to be able to ally with them? Are you keen on spending hours making them look good, or do you just want to play? Are you looking for something competitive or not? What kind of thing appeals to you? How much free time do you have?

>>53330618
No more than they already are. This Chainsword bonus is probably just there because they're getting rid of extra attacks for having 2 weapons.

Still good for the Sharks though, since those bolt pistols can actually be pretty scary once you're locked in.

>>53330663
might be a good idea but i wait until next week so we get the full list of the new starter box contents.

>>53330642
Could go for Deathwatch, since it seems you like marines and they'd mix well with Grey Knights and Inquisition.

More or less the same but replace love with self-esteem and fulfillment.
I got everything else, just feels worth nothing.

>>53330669
Because I guess as a simulationist I experience life abstractly. I take more interest in interacting with ideas than I do people.

>>53330679
currently i am deciding on upgrading my thousand sons further (pre heresy clolor scheme, currently at around 28000 points worth of minatures) the primaris are also interresting but next week we will know the contents of the starter so i wait for the decision then

freetime is not the issue. i can basically do my hobby at work. doing lots of conversions and painting didnt got to play much the last 6 months and want to go at it with the new edition. guess i start thinking about the next steps as soon as 8th drops.

>>53330710
And nothing of value was lost

>>53330712
Maybe as a sort of proof for your combat prowess? I mean, for the blood you could just go to a blood bank, spill all of it and start screaming BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD, but getting a fresh skull is a bit more difficult.

>>53330669
I just like painting the little plastic dudes and making them kill each other.

When you're intellect reaches a certain point, and you don't have access to intellectual forums or a means of higher discourse, life becomes like an old video game.

People become like NPC's, repeating the same things over and over, their problems, so obvious to you, become comedies.

When you start exploring the boundries of your world, you will find there is a certain point past which you can not travel. You do not have enough gas to get here, or you do not know the right people to go here, you do not hold to the same creed as these or those and so are not welcome to participate in honest discourse..

>>53330669
what you said
also this >>53330749
also the fact that i've been playing so long I may as well just keep on with this virgin hobby instead of finding another

>>53330782
40k is a step outside the usual, its something different, it challenges me. Dealing with people is difficult when you are fairly normal and well adjusted, dealing with them when you have some sort of intellectual or political stigma is impossible.

You only have to say one wrong word to be cut from the circle, one embarrassing photo, and you are out of the loop, cut off and isolated. You start feeling the plight of the modern intellectual through the eyes of a german nihilist.

How do you think void shield generators are going to work?

>>53330833
have you considered acquiring a fedora?

>>53330833
Have you considered getting an Autism assessment, or related social disorders?

I say this sincerely, it sounds like you're excessively anxious about socializing and it is affecting your quality of life.

Faction focus Blood Angels when?

>>53330872
never, we're gonna get gobbled up by the nids

>>53330842
I saw someone suggest in a previous thread that they'd each be a sort of pool of 5 wounds that had a chance to replenish each turn.

So, for example, you'd have a Titan with 40 wounds or whatever, and then 2 Void Shields. If you shot it with a bunch of Lascannons, you'd need to essentially kill two 5 wound models before actually starting to damage the titan itself. Then those might come back on later turns on a 5+ or something, and also heal to their full 5 at the start without a roll to make them resistant to small arms.

That might be a little extreme, but I could see that sort of system working out.

>>53329375
I like the Battlefleet Gothic-inspired prow of this take on the Stormbird; I remember they said they'd bring BFG back when Specialist Games was resurrected, any word on that?
