Contents of the starter set revealed.

Why do people like AdMech? They're the lamest faction in the game, every single model looks exactly the same.

What the fuck how new is this news

>>53385762
About ten minutes old.

Wonder what Thunder Hammers and Chainfists will be in 8e. Is Chainfist just a power fist with D6 Damage? Is Thunder Hammer just a power fist with rule equal to Concussive, or will it lose the -1 to hit?

>>53385747
I have to say, the Assault Primarines are definitely not to my taste. The Intercessors were fine, but damn that bulbous overhead. I know that aerodynamism isn't a thing in the Imperium but wtf GW. They look like Librarians.

The DG models are stunning though, and I say that as someone who hates the Nurgle aesthetic with a passion.

>>53385747
The interceptors are posed terribly desu

The poxwalkers on the other hand are amazing

He's probably having a grand old time.
also that fucking helmet, i didn't know excalibur had fallen to chaos

>>53385747
I like it. Wonder what the rules for the lieutenants will be.
Also, a fucking 280 page hard back rule book with all that shit and something like 50 models? This shit is either going to be really expensive or an amazing fucking deal

>>53385789
I don't even play Nurgle and I love how they, along with the other DG stuff looks. I also like how they went for more of the formerly human zombie look
I wonder how restricted those new HQs will be when they're released outside of the set- I hope nurglefriends get some customizability like exalted sorcerers got so they can have a bit of fun making their own characters and stuff.

>>53385790
Yeah, sad to admit I like litteraly nothing that is specific to those sculpts. The hood, the guns, the jetpack, and the soles are all terrible. I really loved the Tacticals but what the fuck are those.

>>53385802
Death Guard look incredible bro. NuMarines flying edition look pretty stupid. There wasnt really any need to bring out a new wave of marines, pretty glad i dont play marines at this point

>>53385808
>>53385825
Forgeworld had the perfect blight drone, why not just make that in plastic? And the plague zombies or whatever-the-fuck look shit too. The sorcerer might be the worst of them all. Plague Marines are pretty cool though, as are the other two heroes.

>>53385824
>tau in the same book as orks and nids
Top kek, tau confirmed not civilized enough to be with crons and eldar

>>53385747
Is that a plastic blight drone?

>>53385827
I keep hearing $160 rolling around.

>>53385848
They're calling it a "bloat drone".

>>53385747

Any word on price yet?

>>53385824
I wonder what Questor Traitoris is? Chaos Knights?
>>53385810
I'll get used to them eventually, but they're definitely the worst of all the new models they've teased. Hopefully the gun-shields on the bolters are separate bits.

>>53385847
You'd think they'd swap tau and crons over.

>>53385836
That is clearly just a bad kitbash. People will fall for anything these days.

>>53385789
>>53385805
The Nurgle aesthetic definitely seems to have some Rogue Trader elements mixed in. Particularly in the plasma weapons. And I love it.

>>53385836
Yeah, I recognise that old friend.

>all the decent xenos armies in book 1

I'm just glad to see that they appear to be correct, our current marines will still be useful.

So far, not seeing anything resembling an assault marine so my Blood Angels will continue on.

So the core rules will be free on day one but will the indexes for the armies be free/digital too?

>>53385790
My only problem with them is the generic poses. If they were posed shooting, or swooping, or doing something other than hovering a few feet off the ground with their guns at their sides like they're riding in the Dreadknight baby carrier, they'd look much better.

I think they're solid. The tacticals look sweet, though. Getting the starter box with a buddy, some Howling Griffon marines will really pop against my drab, mudstained IG.

>>53385901
I dunno what it is about these dudes, but it's hard to buy in to the knightly pomp and knightly shit with this new armor. Maybe its because I just grew up playing this game when I was a kid, so my mind is just inundated with it, but the hi-tech armor and then the old school Astartes knight shit just seems to clash really hard.

Also why's everyone got librarian hoods? Looks like shit.

That captain's armor looks straight up like the ultras from the Dornian heresy.

I'm loving the veteran command squad (space marine lieutenants are a thing now? what?)

I'm undecided on the assault marines. They make a lot of sense design wise from a "guy who fights in outer space in a vacuum" standpoint, but I prefer the original assault marine flavor.

The death guard models are fucking beautiful.

Because they aren't releasing codexs at launch. Hell we don't even know when they're releasing codexs other than 'later down the road"

There is one thing, and one thing only that matters about this boxed set...

...and it's the "so stupid looking that they are cool" retro 2nd ed style plasma guns on the chaos dudes. Holy shit I love those things.

Also, (again) holy shit is there a lot of plasma in this boxed set.

Imperial authorities can petition (or beg) Space Marines to intervene in their pet war zones. Space Marines can either show up, or tell them to fuck off. Their "independence" is a big deal because it means that a crazed nutter like Goge Vandire can't compel Marines to go along with his bullshit.

>>53386021
Their audience is tumblrtard socjus shitheads?

Are Primaris marines even good? Don't they just have one more wound than normal and will probably cost a fuckton more points?

>>53385984
I'm buying 10 of these.

I say this with no irony, homemade terrain that I, and many others, make is severely lacking in the high-tech-gothic style computing and technology area. These will make excellent set dressings. Especially the computer, munitions dump, containment pod, and antennae.

Given they're in a boxed set, probably.
I'm hoping, for the sake of DG players, that their HQ characters outside of the set are more customizable though. Would give the poor nurgle players more uniqueness to themselves, and would overall be a good choice. It was very fun for me to create my own characters with the exalted kit and don't want these guys to miss out on the fun.
>>53386116
Join Chaos, anon. Sure, it may not be Tzeentch. However, Nurgle, the models, and the players that aren't WAAC are all wonderful things that deserve to be cherished and loved. You did say you liked the models too, so that's a plus.

Sounds like a french name, is it the same guy as >>53386120 and >>53386211?

>>53386194
Currently they are obligated to obey the high lords, it's just that most in a position of authority really abuses this because Space Marines are too important to the Imperium and marines tend to respond as they're needed without needing to be told anyways. The decentralized nature of the Imperium lends itself to letting Marines do as they will but there are still things like the Abyssal Crusade that would imply that Marines at least have at one point been beholden to the powers that be.

>>53386259
They'll definitely get a new individual release, my guy. You could also buy the set and split with with a friend (That's what I'm doing)

The "default" is a Black Legion style mix. Yes people like mono-cult armies, but its not like you cant field these guys without playing exclusively DG.

>>53386281
There's also some kind of injector. And those aren't lascanons, look more like sprey nozzles to me. So it's probably some kind of projectile vomiting weapon.

There is no way GW can leave most of the chaos marine players in manlet only mode.

I suspect the idea is to hold them side by side on descent, making them cover about as much as the breastplate, just some extra deflection when heading directly for the enemy.

It sticks to an aesthetic without going overboard. GW creative process seems to be a lot more centred on just jamming on detail in empty space even if it's not needed, makes sense or simply looks bad.

AoS Khorne guys having skulls popping out of their abs are a perfect example of this. Now it's holes, horns and the fleshcables from the Daemon Engines.

It's OTT and I will be scraping off a lot of these details and replacing them with less offensive ones.

>>53386281
It might be decent if you left the tail engine out and changed the guns to normal lascannons.

I've seen the WiP log, and they're entirely plasticard. The design is 100% the same, but the point is he cut, filed and dremelled that shit so that his army had a -matching aesthetic-.

He's made the exact same turbines on varying scales for differently sized models. Daemon Prince, Heldrake and Raptors, IIRC.

Agebts of the Imperium one. GW confirmed it

All the nurgle stuff will look amazing with a less-clean paintjob. Everything is way too crisp and uniform on them as-is, because official GW painting policy is LINE HIGHLIGHTS ON EVERY SINGLE THING.

The Primaris marines look... underwhelming. Not bad, but underwhelming. Except for the assault marines. Those are ass. What the fuck.

I've been lukewarm about the entire faction since announced, but I was actually really stoked for bigger Primaris dudes with fuckhueg chainswords. Now they just gave them romper-stompers and retard helmets. They are now differently-abled Reapers from Starcraft. That's a helluva step down from rocket-chainsword-dudes.

>>53386448
>Well Bolt Rifles are basically Galvanic Rifles from Skitarii,

There are some models in that Death Guard teaser from a while back that aren't in the boxset, they're definitely getting some standalone releases

It's plastic, you can literally just clip the staff at the wrist for a super easy switch, the head might be harder but with a drill you can hollow out the hood.

Well when you put it that way its not really bad at all. Still a name like Imperial Agents is lame.

They were jump vs. jet. Less lift, lighter armor, smaller turbines. The landing skids are still retarded.

Honestly though, I'm going to have to sub-assembly the fuck out of those Death Guard. Looks like painting them whole will be a fucking nightmare.

Meh, any excuse to procrastinate from painting my shit.

>>53386630
actually the thing you call "Tau" are the farsight enclave
the actual tau are below the nids

>>53386551
The vast majority of what you talked about is present on the models you silly goose.

Will sell the Smurfs and use the DG as little painting project (as if my backlog was not big enough...) to keep my Nurgle daemons company.

I wonder how many of the Index book I shall buy. I need the chaos one and I also have quite a few SW, so thats two. Maybe I should wait until Nids and Mechanicum get their seperate books? Or will the datasheets be free like in AoS and its more like pay for the formations?
