This is beautiful.
Praise the Omnissahiah.

Hey looking for artwork of a chaos uprising being good, especially the one of the cultist holding an autogun with an 8-point star hood. Need them for a Dark Heresy game where the players are effectively facing the rebellion in Les Mis, and don't see Chaos till the violence breaks out

>>53329693
I have a bunch of old Chaos Space Marines I have lying around, and they're not painted excellently or anything but they are painted, are they worse less because of this?

I'm thinking of off loading them.

>>53331169
>are they worse less because of this?

Yes. Stripping can be a bitch.
If the issue is not time sensitive you should try stripping them yourself.

>>53331209
How would I go about doing that?

>>53331219
Find something that removes paint and immerse the models in it.
Dettol or Fairy Power Spray works.
If you're an American I've heard Simple Green does the job.

>>53329693
Been not paying close attention to the news, can someone tl;dr all the changes from 7e released so far? Preferably as objective and general as possible ("Everything can hit everything" versus "lol a titan can get killed by a guardsman fucking dumb").

>>53331219
Yeah, as >>53331263 said if you're in the US Simple Green seems to do the job.

13th for 3rd Ed-tier daemonhosts.

That feel when an entire eldar army deepstrikes inches away from your imperator titan on turn 3 of the apocalypse game and lights it up with D weapons but then it goes supernova.

You'll probably need a toothbrush and tooth pick if you want it all off.

>>53331488

>>53331504
>>53331510
Thanks anons, I'm a scrub when it comes to modeling, I didn't think you could strip paint as silly as it sounds.

My dad who's into modeling says alcohol also works for stripping paints, is that safe?

>>53331525
For metals alcohol is safe. I think it'll nuke plastic and resin minis though.

>>53331525
Paint some sprues and test it.

Anyone here remember the name of that one Space Marine chapter that was really obssessed with the dead and honoring them? Like, REAAALLY obssessed. All I remember besides that is that they are kind of a bunch of downers, what with all the death stuff.

Hey guys, i stopped play 40k awhile ago, 3 years? and ive saw some of the new rules, do you guys think a full mek ork army will do well killakans deff dreds the gorkanaugt(?) and HQ in mega armour maybe could be a fun army to play with?

Imagine if another company did this. Expected you to be happy with dregs while they sit on the finished product in an attempt to make you salivate over it more.

Its the opposite effect of what they want. Since no one wants to buy models in case they get shit on by the new rules.

Fucking hurry up and release them already so people can plan campaigns and tournaments or even just beer and pretzel games.

The best kind of guard

Just did a tally of assembled / salvage / loose bits / sprues etc... here is what I can make.

Fluff-Wise would it be a reasonable force composition for:
- 31 1st Company Terminators + Ven. Dread, with Captain Severus Agemman & Chaplain
- 36 2nd Company Marines + Rhino
- 13 8th Company Bikers
- 5 10th Company Scouts

What should I add to this? Is the composition reasonable fluff-wise? Considering 2 Land Raiders or something...

>>53332557
Game companies do this literally all the fucking time.

>>53332615

fuck it all I want is a release date.

>>53332557
At least we are sure it will be released this summer, or next month if you heard about the period GW employees aren't allowed to take a day off.

Some games get a promised release date, which then gets delayed for years. Never promise a release date before something is ready.

Their doing this to boost the late year profits for AOS (as most people are buying AOS stuff right now and mostly ignoring 40k) and their fiscal year starts next month which is when they will drop the new 40k to Maximize the on the book profits for 40k for the new year. Releasing it now would be stupid as less than half the profits it would make in it's release would go on their current fiscal year.

>>53332758

>>53332844

do the trim last. Try and find a painting guide to help you so you don't make too many basic errors while you paint him.

>>53331588
Or just put the sprues in. The paint isn't a part of this test.

>>53332895
That's likely true, but proper science requires the conditions be kept as similar as possible.

>>53332894
How? Heavy bolters can now reliably wound leman russes

>>53332844
Lord Duncan primed gold and filled in the blue after. Seems like it'd be easier than trying to find every single trim spot afterward.

>>53332927
I wasn't the one asking for advice but thanks for the effort I guess?

I use dettol personally.

>>53332935
What's the stats on a Russ in 8th?

>>53332935
They also have a lot more wounds to chew through.

Not sure why I'm even arguing against you, I hate the changes.

>>53332935
It's what? 0.3 of a wound per heavy bolter.

>>53332935
Yes heavy bolters may now wound a Leamon Russ on a 5+ and it will shrug those off on a 4+ and it has 14 hull points meaning that those 1 or two heavy bolter shots will clearly inconvenience it. It's not going to worry until it seas a plasma gun, a Lascannon or a melta gun still.

So I've been out of the loop for quite some time. Is there anything new in 8th edition regarding Tyranids?

>>53333071

Duncan does it the hard way on purpose because he knows he can make it look easy. He wants the bait the unthinned paint babbys into hurting themselves. He drinks their pain.

>>53333175
Trygons are gonne do D6 wounds for each save the opponent fails in melee. That's the only peek from spcifically tyranids that we got.

Also during a Q&A it was said that Carnifexes will be faster than they are now.

>>53333175

They've found new groundbreaking ways for tyranids to suck.

>>53333071
As I said finish the gold then do the blue.

>>53333175

>>53333236

YOU DIDN'T MAKE YOUR CHARGE DISTANCE! MEASURE IT AGAIN!

>>53333376
Anonymity is a HUGE contributor to that. When there's a name behind the post, people will usually think twice about doing it.

>>53333292
Well Instant Death as we know it now will be gone. Instead heavy weapons are going to do a certain amount of wounds after you fail a save. For example a Lascannon has Damage D6, meaning does D6 wounds if a model fails its save, whilst the Dark Eldar Disintegrator cannon has Damage 2.
The new To Wound chart means that something needs double strength compared to the toughness of what it is hitting before it wounds on a 2+
Assault Grenades are just weapons now, so it is safe to assume there is no longer a penalty for charging through terrain beyond a move distance penalty.
Units that charged strike first, so a charging Carnifex will hit before its opponent does. No more bonus attack for charging however.
Armoursave Modifiers are back, and most weapons have rather low modifiers. A Lascannon only does -3, so something with a 3+ save still has a 6+ save against it. And cover will be a bonus to armour save. Special rules that used to give a coversave will probably all be a To Hit modifier.

>>53333199
trygons can also assault out of deepstike as early as turn 1 and bring a unit of troops with them.

they're basically the choppiest drop pod now.

>>53333410
Gotta make that 9 inch charge though. Probably still worth the risk, 'cause when you do make that charge and absolutely maul those high yield missile pod broadsides ... delicious Taufag tears

true
though there is the command reroll you can use for it and there's probably going to be some bonus for trygons being fast (pretty sure they used to be as fast as revenors in 3e/4e) or new adrenal glands and fleet.

>>53333400
All of this is beautiful.

>>53333410
I don't believe you. If that's true then something must be worse. Our models must be three times as expensive or we lost synapse or something

>>53333498
its true. the trygons subterranean assault rule was revealed in the article on tactical reserves.

>>53333498
Well all units can just walk out of close combat in their movements, though unless they have a special rule those units won't be allowed to run, shoot or charge that turn.
No more 1 overwatch per charge phase limit.
The new morale system is really punishing for large units. It's casualties from the entire turn + D6, everything point over the unit's leadership means one model of that unit is removed from play. Though Synapse will probably do something to limit the additional casualties you take from that.

You can use your 3'' pile in move before models strike to move into close combat with units you didn't charge however, and consiledating into another unit after winning close combat seems to be coming back.

>>53333498
The showed off the rule in one of the recent articles, trigon nydus canal is go. You can even charge on the turn that you show up, but it's going to be 9"+

>>53333524
Same article that releaved that there is no longer such a thing as reserve rolls. You can just have units in reserve arrive at the end of the movementphase you want to, even turn 1. It's nuts.

>>53333071
He's talented enough to do it that way without fucking it up and really, it's an easy fix to just go back over the blue again before moving on. it is out of order but it's really not that big a deal.

>>53333583

> Tfw no Lighting Claws yet.

>>53332986
Actually its 12 HP. Between the 5+ and the 4+ save you need 6 hits per wound. or perhaps 12 enemy guardsmen attacks per wound.

If we assume that they keep the Exterminator Autocannons 4 shots rerolling misses (because the new twin rules giving it 8 autocannon shots, while awesome, would be OP as fuck and I refuse to believe something that good could happen to my guardsmen) then that means that a single fully-kitted bolter exterminator can take 1 wound off a Russ per turn on average.

4 autocannon shots rerolling misses => 3 hits
3 HBs in hull and sponsons =>9 attacks =>4.5 hits
7.5 hits wounding on 5s =>2.5 wounds
2.5 wounds against a 4+ save => 1.25 wounds

It gets better with a lascannon or multimeltas, of course, but we're looking at bolters in this argument. Also note that this makes the predator equivalent even weaker.

Heavy bolter weapons teams give you 3 heavy bolters, but will likely have some sort of monster hunter order from the company commander.
9 attacks =>4.5 hits
4.5 hits wounding on 5s => 1.5 wounds rerolling =>2.5 wounds
2.5 wounds against a 4+ save => 1.25 wounds.

So its moderately effective. But according to the Imperial Knights faction focus this kind of "Moderately effective against heavy armor spammers if nothing better to shoot at" strategy was intentional.

>>53331938
why? its fine they all need to be the same faction.

>>53333974
It probably deep strikes into combat and just inflicts hammer of wrath damage, but there's a chance it lands off target and gets placed by the enemy nearby instead.

Idk, just my best guess.

Currently I have:

PCS x 1
Squad Firing x 1
Squad Advancing x 1
Engineers x 1
Death Riders x 1
Autocannon x 3 (1 full squad)

Looks like grenadiers and quartermasters are already gone, which sucks as I never picked them up.

>>53333974

>>53333974
>>53333949
Don't forget, the rules are different for various units. Some might still have some risk to their deep strikes, and some might be able to get closer.

The Mawloc would be a prime example of the latter. They could probably make it so that it can either pop up under stuff as normal, or maybe just make it so it can pop up within 1 inch and be in combat right away more or less.

I just realized that Doom (2016) is basically just Grey Knights the video game. The Night Sentinels would actually make a great inspiration for a Grey Knights count-as army.

Are Necrons actually going to be seriously supported in the new edition, or are they getting shoved to the back like Tomb Kings were in Age of Skubmar?

I haven't actually had the time or money to play since 7th edition came out, but all that is about to change very soon. I still have all my Necron models, small though my army is. If 8th edition isn't REALLY supporting Necrons going forward I'll probably just stay out, but if the rules are good and Necrons are real I might stick around.

>>53334784
what does "support" mean to you.

>>53334793

Well, you know how Tomb Kings just got warscrolls but then had their models discontinued and basically ceased to exist as a faction in their own right?

I don't want that. I want Necrons to still be a faction in the new setting, I want them to have a model range that is kept available for purchase, and I want them to maybe even occasionally get new stuff.

>>53334825
I mean, Do you really think Necrons are gonna get dumped? They've been in a pretty fucking solid spot since 5th, maybe not the best of the best for WAACfags these days but a comfy spot and still pretty popular. I think you're more than safe fampai

>thinking non-marines will get anything ever

>>53334784
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Silent King model if they start rolling out "primarch equivalents" (ghazzy, super swarmlord, etc) for each faction.

Every faction is getting a dex in 8th, so that would be when we would get new models.

>>53334849

Had a feeling, just wanted to make absolutely sure. Gotta cover my bases, you know?

Now to just wait for the rules to come out and see if they're any good.

>>53334859
>Every faction is getting a dex in 8th, so that would be when we would get new models.

False. They don't have include new anything because they're doing warscrolls. They can just release the model with the rules and then update the points list to include them.

>>53332557
Have you never seen an announcement for a video game, or seen the permanent alpha games? From the way they've been dragging some shit out I assume they haven't even finished the rules yet. It's like they're trying to figure out people's reactions to bits and pieces and edit the rest as needed so they don't deal with a complete shitstorm on launch.

>>53334879
Yes, but it makes sense to do "battle tomes" like they do in AoS for each army. Include relics and some special detachments or whatever, as well as some unique missions and a bunch of fluff.

This is not mutually exclusive with free warscroll type rules. See: AoS, where they currently do both.

>>53334825
So you're worried that the biggest remake happening to get more people into the game and sell models to all of them...
Is going to discontinue models for one of the armies. They're trying to get people who don't already have armies to start playing every faction. Now think about your concern with that in mind.

>>53334897

Yes, but the release codexes are not battletombs, so I wouldn't expect anything new until the Deathguard Codex

>>53334928
Didn't they say Deathguard was going to be in the starter box? Not expecting anything new until launch doesn't seem like much of a wait.

>>53334921

Hey man, it's Games Workshop. Age of Sigmar threw out some stuff, like the aforementioned Tomb Kings. I just want to make sure Necrons aren't going to the same way. I know Necrons have generally been more successful than Tomb Kings used to be, but I just want to be sure my army's not getting squatted.

>>53334939

They can be in the starter box and just use legion rules until the proper Deathguard release.

>>53334941

Dude, the only reason TK were squatted was because they are literally NOT IN THE LORE anymore. What's even funnier is that TK are one of the most powerful armies in AoS. However, stop fucking crying over your Necrons because they're not going anywhere in the lore.

>>53334928
So, what you're saying is that eventually books of one variety or another are going to be released for each faction?

Is it not too much of a leap to imagine those book releases will be accompanied by models?

That's all I was saying.

Has anyone been able to make out that pic of what we are pretty sure is the new starter set on the nugle side? I think I can make out 10 plague marines, some sort of character and maybe a plague drone on the building? But there has to be more than that.

>>53334989
Yea, but they're unlikely to have anything new with the 8th Codex updates, which is what I'm saying.

>>53331973
Wasn't there also something about models within a unit can shoot at different targets.

>>53334970
>Dude, the only reason TK were squatted was because they are literally NOT IN THE LORE anymore.
You're wrong. The lore bends to the models, not the other way around. Almost every GW author has explained that. Tomb Kings had such a reputation for selling poorly that hey were basically a meme.

Hey guys, I'm in a really new group here with an outdated codex, we were wondering what the stats on the Totem of Subetai and the Duelling Tulwar were. Can anyone help us out?

>>53335171

You know what? Fine. Yes. Necrons are going away forever.

What happens when you prime in humid weather? I want to look at some primed guys I have to see if I'm fucking it up before I prime some immortals

Hopefully Tau will be a lot more interactive to play against in the new edition, tired of being shamed for my army among my group when the most powerful thing I field is the drone net. Also, pulse rifles wounding dreads on a 5 makes me moist. Fire warriors are by far my favorite unit in the codex

>This ended with The Inquisitor protag killing the Inquisitor who had been ordered by the High Lords of Terra to bring the Dark Eldar to the Golden Throne so he could attempt to fix it. The Dark Eldar had escaped and created an army. The Inquisitor admitted they had traded planets and millions of souls for the Dark Eldar 'expert' and they had been betrayed, obviously, by the Dark Eldar. Before the Inquisitor puts a bullet in her skull she says 'there were three in total'or something. This implies there is either three Dark Eldar, three Eldar or three Xenos coming to try and fix the throne. The Dark Eldar at this point tries to kill the Inquisitor protag, but is stunned by Needle Gun poison. As he's dying the Inquisitor asks for names and the Dark Eldar beings to tell him but is killed by a Custodian Guard Captain who had come down to sort it out. He did not care about plots or anything, only to protect the palace. He also says he'll kill the Inquisitor for being there (even though they had come down together) as it was. That didn't happen.

This makes me wonder if the three is referring to a Dark Eldar, Eldar and Tau or maybe Dark Eldar, Tau and Necrons or something? It'd be much more interesting if the Ad Mech/Inquisition/High Lords ordered one of each advanced cloning/high tech races to come help

Was a good book.

Why would scouts even still be a thing if you can just make bigmarines?

>>53335821
What? Primaris Marines are bigger than Custodians in terms of models iirc. They're in Mk10 Power Armour, new enhancements and genetic shit. The only way the blow can be softened is if the Custodes have much better rules, but I doubt it. I don't see the point in the Custodes existing if they're just going to 1UP with Primaris. Why bother making them in the first place when they're supposed to be the pinnacle only to slap them down with new shit?

Honestly see no reason for Custodes existing in terms of models and rules. Should have just left them be.

>>53335874
There obviously will be primaris scouts.

>>53335859
Ah, see those bits now. I'll fix those up then.

Thanks for the feedback

>>53335873
True but bring them to the Golden Throne (and they're less likely to be autistic ADHD faggots like the Dark Eldar) and let them study it and see if they can fix it. I don't see how the Dark Eldar can help. I assumed it was going to be via cloning, but it COULD be they'd create/upgrade the system so suffering/death from the pyskers would restore his flesh like it does for the Dark Eldar.

It could be either of those.

In other news? Dogs are mammals.

I'm very late to all of this, but space marines have really taken a hit in power. Between primaris and custodes, the space marine is kind of a third stringer.

>>53335882
we already have rules for Primaris. They're TSM with 2 wounds, a better bolter, and no other weapon option.
Custodes have way better stats and equipment.

>>53336108
Wait....aren't Space Marines the special forces of the imperium compared to the imperial guard?

>>53336040
Pretty sure there's some Tyranid stats in my RT book. There definitely was genestealers, but they weren't Tyranids yet.

>>53336115

>>53336125
Mostly meaning in the state they are now. There was early necrons too, but nothing like they are now and I don't believe tau had much of anything that early.

>>53336125
There were tyranids and zoats.

>>53335986
>>53336040

Elements of what became the Tyrannids was clearly visible originally, it's just that they weren't an army so much as a few unrelated or vaguely related random encoutners, only had a couple of units including genestealers, and were generally just thrown together in the way a lot of 1st edition was. It's not bad, it's just that first edition was clearly based on the idea of "lets throw all this shit together, build a campaign and your own enemies from it once you get the hang of the rules". It's a similar situation as chaos where there's vague references to stuff in the warp that clearly became chaos as the setting expanded, but at the time was equivalent to your generic terrors from beyond.

Tau just flat out don't exist, but they're probably the easiest to just plug into the system since Dreagnoughts are meant to be generic piloted robots used by any faction rather than the unique SM stuff they became. You can probably reconstitute Tau from just the stuff in the original Rogue Trader crunch for like half the units.

>>53336125
what if i take 2ed tyranid, and re-worked into 1st? would it be good?

GW says that you will want to take both regular marines and primaris marines.

Does anyone really believe that? Wouldn't I rather have a bunch of 2W dudes?

>>53336093
Flat out better than Custodes?

>>53336173
What would be the point of that?

If you want the older feeling 40K, just play 2nd ed.

>>53336177
Much less flexible, though.

>>53336111

The space marine has kind of always been as such outside of first founding chapters, and even then not always. Between Ork Snipers and shit like Grey Knights using terms like "lowly battle brother" in an offhand way to describe their own rank and file the space marine has been a kind of disposable thing for a while now. The difference is that Marine players like to assert their guys are special and somehow not just more grist for the mill unlike every other army, just because their grist is thicker.

>>53336129
Uh....no.
See, guy A said that Primaris aren't a Complete Upgrade, like Custodes. You know, talking fluff.
Then, Douchenozzle B said that they had better stats. Like crunch.
We're calling Douchenozzle B a moron for thinking 'this unit is better than that other unit' to mean 'THIS UNIT IS NEW GREATEST EVER!'
I mean, last time I checked, the existence of Veteran Guard units doesn't invalidate your Tempestus Scions.

>every unit is the best unit in the game

>>53336197
For now. Mark my words, 10th or 11th edition will retcon Primaris Marines away and these guys will just be regular old plumbuses. This is all a way to update the SM range without everybody 100% flipping their shit. The old marine models are aging pretty poorly and GW finally has the tech to make properly sized Space Marines. Look out for Primaris Terminators and upscaled SM vehicles in the near future.

http://bloodofkittens.com/blog/2017/04/26/warhammer-40k-8th-edition-leak-compilation/

So if chaos aren't getting primaris marines how are the y going to stop them falling to chaos? Think they'll explode if they fall or something retarded like that?

>>53336251
When every unit is the best in the game, no one is - GW, 2017

>>53336212
>I mean, last time I checked, the existence of Veteran Guard units doesn't invalidate your Tempestus Scions.

Which is why this entire shitstorm is so hilarious. IG players have to deal with sporadic model upgrades, differing gear and equipment among elites, and the idea of competing elites for a long ass time.

The difference between a Primaris marine and a standard marine is basically the same thing, but for players who either never had to deal with shit like that, or in occasions where you do it's only in incredibly minor situations where it becomes an annoyance at best.

>>53336281
You remember how AdMech stole lots of tau shit in the latest Damocles crusade? They managed to secure the chaos immunity from the commies and Cawl installed it to the primaris marines. They can't be corrupted and are partially tau now. Enjoy your new marines :^)

Space Marines are genetically modified.

>>53333443
The first and foremost thing you have to consider that while 40k is indeed a hobby, first and foremost that hobby is building and painting the models

There's a reason why I painted armies are often frowned upon as they usually show that the player is not invested enough/cares enough for the hobby/setting of warhammer to paint their dudesmen

Figure out if painting is your thing first

>>53335759
Dude, new rules mean they wound t6-9 on a 5.

If one squad of them falls along with a few regular ones it won't really affect the ones distributed to another chapter, or on another front, ect. unless it gets really bad, and there's only a few cases of it getting really bad for the last ten thousand years. Chaos Primarises won't really be an issue until like the 43rd millennium outside of a handful of dudes.

The natural chaos counter to them is probably an advanced corrupted form of CSM. Which is basically what CSM's are meant to be by defaut. So just say "we're statting these guys out to be somewhere between a normal CSM and a prince" and just throw up something vaguely equivalent.

The eye of terror is big now. The chaos gods are probably throwing that shit around like party favors.

>>53336316
Anyway you look at it, you're still both fruits.

Especially Dark Angels.

Im trying to slowly repaint my army into Red Scorpions with some differences. I remember them being purity above all so are flamers in order or rather shit ton of purity seals?

>>53336316

There are modified IG units and there are elite IG units.

If you wanted to get pissy a Catachan probably should be about that tall by comparison anyway.

>>53336373
Those are called Custodes. Numarines are the missing link between Marinelet and Terminator

>>53336281
>>53336317
i'm just assuming the new recruits won't fall because they're new and properly instructed
and chaos marines can't turn into primaris marines because lol chaos corruption you turned into a spawn

By having Guilliman use them responsibly and not throwing them away in trench warfare, using them as meat shield or shitting on their leaders every second.

Much as I dislike big blue, even he'd bound to have learned for daddy's mistakes.

but then how would they earn redemption in the eyes of the emperor anon ?

>>53336366
I don't recall them being all about flamers, more about apothecaries since it's genetic purity they value

>>53335888
I'm sure there will be some with sniper rifles, but that's a bit different to "not finished yet" little marines.

>>53336366
They follow the Codex Astartes like holy scripture so they follow the proper ratio of special weapon religiously, their only deviance is Apothecary sergeants, and *Loads* of power weapons and a very low stock of terminator armour.

>>53336438
Don't have your planet turn to chaos in the first place.

>>53336197
"Less flexible" is pretty much damning with faint praise for regular marines. Almost every edition has been about trying to minimise the number of "guy with bolter" you take (either through MSU, taking min scouts as troops or bikes recently) so saying that new marines can only be all bolters or all special weapons and so are "less flexible" isn't really much of a downside.

>>53336396
>Galaxy split in half, chaos is rampaging everywhere uncontested
>time to noblebright my marines! Let's just toss those worthless humans to the meat grinder, they are here to protect primaris marines, not the other way around
Gorilla man is the heretic of worst kind. May the Emperor rise from his throne and smite down this great enemy of mankind.

What if we added a rule that let people fall back from melee combat so they can't get stuck, but to be fair to melee we'll stop them getting to shoot, but to be double fair to shooting we'll let the best shooting armies shoot anyway.

I'm a game designer.

T8 W12 from memory. Slows down as its wounded. I Think they also released the stats for the battle cannon weapon, but it looked pretty shit from memory.

I think thats all so far.

>>53336639
We have to see how consolidation work and if you are allowed to do it if the enemy unit disengage from combat

With the information we have right now it can potentially be
>Ok, I disengage my unit from combat and put it 3" away from you assault unit
>Fine, I consolidate 1d6", if I roll a 3+ I'm back into combat with you since I can consolidate into combat

So now that armor save modifiers are in, will such a thing as a 1+ save ever exist?

>why yes I do play T'au

>>53336779
Unlikely, probably just a special rule to reduce AP so there isn't any confusion.

>>53336779
They will use the "rule of one" from AoS
Which means no matter what mods you get you always fail a save on a one

>>53336761
Disengaging is normal movement if I recall.

>>53336779
You can put terminators in cover to have 1+ save

But ones are certain to remain failure in any case

So looking at the rubric data sheet warpflamers no longer have the warpflame special rule (giving +1 FNP basically). Wonder if that means Tzeentch flamers are back on the menu?

Do you think we'll get primaris assault marines?

So i am new to 40k. Got a 700 p skitarii army and was gifted a sm tactical squad. What sm chapter would be the best to work with my skitarii army? Also can i just paint regular sm red and call them blood angels or is this practice not allowed?

>>53336807
Nigger we are going to get Primaris everything.

>>53334326

Warfield?

>>53336815
Go with the Iron Hands. They are total bros with the Admech/Skitarii

>>53336807
there will be all kinds of primaris. the basic ones in the pics so far are Intercessors, the basic tactical squads. there will also be primaris vehicles.

>>53336815
Steel Confessors

>>53336807
>>53336816
the more I read about it the more it seems like (((GW))) really is trying to replace normal marines with primaris. I didn't want to believe it wew

>>53336794
I went back to reading it and it doesn't say it's normal movement, just that you can move away from combat
But it's fair, it could be normal movement for that unit, but at the same time we don't know if consolidation will remain a 1d6" or it will be normal movement too

>>53336851
Being able to consolidate 12" for some unit seems a bit much so I doubt we'd see that.

>>53336797
>sit behind wall as tactical
>wall deflects bullet 1/6 of the time

>sit behind wall as terminator
>wall deflects no bullets ever fuck you

8E everybody. The walls are sentient and spiteful.

>>53336849
New Regular marine kits will not be made
All future SM and probably chaos will be primaris sized stuff

>>53336879
Just means they will still get a 2 up save vs guns with -1 ap when in cover

>>53336867
We're completely in the hypothesis territory about that part
I think it's unlikely that they'll consolidate their full movement, but we don't know if the unit can disengage their full movement either
We'll have to wait and see

>>53336849
They confirmed that it's possible for existing canon space marines to get upgraded to Primaris marines. So now everybody knows that they'll be phasing out marinelets.

>>53336879
>If you have S10 or S6 you have the same chance to be frozen by a Frost Cannon

7E everybody

>>53334009
Pick infantry or artillery formations and go from there. I just received two thudd guns in the mail.

Anyone love trolling through eBay and finding absurd prices for shit? I just found one that's for 2 heavy weapon sisters, missing both weapons, for $40. FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS

>>53336904
>They confirmed that it's possible for existing canon space marines to get upgraded to Primaris marines
source?
would be funny to see if they're going to explain everyone having MKX power armor

>>53336925
Yeah I love seeing what people charge for "pro painted" models
200 bucks for some dogshit hq lol

>>53336504
The big difference is that now all models can split fire. So a tactical squad with a special and a heavy weapon is not going to waste shoots even if those weapons have very different ideal targets.

>>53336925
>So I bought this stuff for $500
>Then I painted it really poorly
>Its definitely worth $1000 now

Yesterday's live Q&A

>>53336937
They said so in the Q&A you can watch it yourself on Facebook if you want. There's absolutely no reason to keep the little chumps around. You can bet that there won't be a single new marine release that won't be in mkX (or mkIX for scouts or something)

Well customing my own dudes and painting em with a lore respecting yet personal color scheme is the most exciting part right now. And ive been watching/reading plenty of guides.

I suppose there is the chance that i pick up a brush and hate actually doing it, but i doubt it unless im a total fuckup with unsteady hands.

>20 Guardsmen and a old Russ

My fucking sides. The worst part about auctions is people trying to sell a whole army and absolutely fucking refusing to split it.

>Bunch of guard shit
>Guy wants like 500 bucks
>Auction has been up for 3 months now
>Have asked twice when the auction runs out about buying a few squads separately for a reasonable price
>No thanks mate I want to sell it all at once
>Pick up only

How fucking delusional are these people? If after 3 months of it not selling, maybe it's time to consider that you are doing something wrong?

>>53336996

HOLY SHIT

This dude is asking $1850 for "mostly resin models"
