Apparently khorne berserkers fight twice now. Presumably the second one is at the end of the fight phase, after everyone else has had a go.

Also, all chaos marines get some rule which lets them attack again if they roll a 6 to hit in close combat possibly just against imperials.

Not really convinced this is good game design. Surely just giving a bonus to hit or more attacks would make things simpler and faster?

1 attack at 3+ with a bonus attack on a 6+ is 0.78 hits per attack and 1 attack at 2+ is 0.83 hits. Is the difference really so important you need an extra set of rolls for every unit every time they fight?

>>
>>53410271
Just wish instead of calling them primaries marines, they were just the new marines period. Scale chaos marines likewise. That way marines are proper scale with proper stats, and are truly elite shock troop/intervention style heavy infantry. On top of it all, you can use your old marines as new marines.

I like this idea, and is initially what I thought the new marine was. A bit disappointed when I found out about the "primaries marines" to be frank.
And as you say, they could have even given you the option of using the old marines. As long as GW was supplying new stuff (up-scaled everything!), people would eventually buy the new cool stuff, and we all know this!

Bets on the first old marine character to take the primaris treatment?

Also, does the entire 40k setting run on bigger=better now? The new captain is notably bigger than the generic primaris.

The hell does -5 AP do? Remove the 2+ armor entirely?

>>53410863
By everything they meant 1 book per *major* faction.
I doubt renegades and heretics will get a mention, let alone rules, Dred mob and Elysian shock troopers will probably be squatted too. Maybe death korps will get rules, but that's as niche as they'll probably go with sub-factions.

Giving marines a new unit will sell those models more effectively than just upscaling marines. Now everyone will buy a new marine army who wants one and the oldfags will buy the new super marines for their current lists

Fabius bile was already making 'new men' however long ago.

But I think they just represented that with combat drugs.

Will be very sad if there's something Bile can't do which Cawl can.
>>
>>53411039
Probably Siccarius or Calgar. Ultramarines have had the procedure the longest.

>It makes sense. Cypher somehow knew about Primaris Marines. He and the Fallen helped Rowboat to get close. When they left, they took the information on how to become Primaris. We'll have Primaris Fallen. It's why we didn't get a new Fallen kit.
>>
>>53411041
Yes.

Also useful for offsetting any bonuses to save, which seem pretty common.
>>
>>53411007
Eldar is very popular but they're space elves and people prefer to play as humans mostly.

Space marines are nothing like mass effect. If you want mass effect it'd be like guard/Tau alliances not space marines.

Space marines would be the villains in mass effect.

>>53411082
So it's not true that armor can't be reduced below 6+?
>>
>>53411099
Armour can be reduced to 7+ (removed entirely)
>>
>>53411041

Yes, although cover is now an armour save modifier so it might still be possible to get a 6+ or even 5+ against it.

Did they ever claim that to be true? What did you think happened when 6+ armour met -1 Ap?

>>53411041
a 2+ becomes a 7+, but can still be affected by other modifiers (being in cover would bring a 7+ to a 6+, psychic buffs might have a way to improve it also, etc)

if it is like AoS, models without a save at all cannot gain one through buffs.

so it might vary a bit from AoS then. Likely they will also copy over the rule from the GHB that prevents 1+ armor saves.

Mass Effect does not have Space Marines
At least say Starship Troopers

How much is due to popularity and GW shoving marines everywhere.

Each edition starter has marines.
Beside the bike game for DE has marines (unless I forgot of another)

There is marines everywhere, to the point of making the elite soldiers the common regular army.

Primaris marines exist because standard marines are too weak.
They're supposed to be the heaviest infantry in the game and frankly they've been lacking, so everyone just took bikes or mechanised lists and it was sad.
Hopefully now they should be taking "shoot Nids and charge guard" to the next level, whilst still giving sadfags an opportunity to play their pre-buff marines

"Space Marines", as in marines in space, are in the imperial guard, specifically stormtroopers, kasrkins or scions. Space marines in 40K are heavy assault shock troopers, more like if you gave SEALs tanks to wear. A killteam of space marines is a group of 5 that are sent in for a specific task, and then extracted. Larger scale marine combined arms forces are only deployed when there are 100x that in imperial guard present, unless it's a situation unsuited to any guard.

He's a marine...in space. Sounds like a space marine to me.

Honey no.
Space Marines in 40k requiere power armour and genetic modification.

The general use for Space Marines goes from regular dudes in power armour to super cool dude in power armour.

Commander Sheep. Does not use a power armour. Even after all the Cerberus stuff he is still just a guy in an armoured space suit.

Shepard is closer to Isaac from Dead Space than a 40k Space Marine

I'm expecting orks to get slightly buffed, but not enough to make up for their inherent disadvantages in the new system (cover and morale rules screw them over). Something like 5 points per boy, small morale / melee bonus at 10/20 models, extra wound or two on some characters.

Article will focus on a special character, a vehicle which will be described as much more durable and some of the wacky stuff like the shokk attack gun. The tourneyfag writing it who never played them in his life will claim they were always one of his favourite armies.

It has 5 marines, a terminator captain, a dreadnought, a power armor captain, 5 nobz, a warboss, a deff kopter, 12 boyz, dice, and simplified rules (which will not interest most veteran players, but still), all for 50 bucks.

The sculpts themselves originated in the Assault on Black Reach starter.
>>
>>53411016
Devil's advocate, but some people might want to use the old marines with the lower points costs.
Bolt gun and bolt rifle are equally good at killing a guardsman.

Ofc that depends on the cost difference that 1A 1W 6" provides

im an undivided chaos player, pretty new to the game. around 1000pts, am i the only one that doesn't wanna buy anymore models and just wait until they release new chaos undivided shit, feels like a waste

im a fan of death guard but it seems odd that they have primarus aka vanilla marines which can be any chapter vs plague marines which only really one legions uses(two if ur counting BL), would of made sense to have black legion or something that uses all chaos units instead of having a legion which a tiny base of the chaos community plays.

not really, 100 points for lv3 and 115 on bike is amazing. not to mention they've been used as the standard hq choice for years. phoenixlords are expensive and finecast, autarchs are okay, spiritseers are limited, warlock councils are/were great

I haven't seen a single good reason to field primarines yet, unless you're one of those truescale autists. Even the humble tactical squad is way more versatile with the wargear options they have.

New marines would be better in melee with proper melee weapons, but even the jump pack version only has ranged weapons. So even for that Terminators seem to be the superior choice.
>>
>>53411384
>Bolt gun and bolt rifle are equally good at killing a guardsman.

Bolt rifle is better it has AP: -1 and an extra 6" range. Of course you can probably have more bolters, but we'll have to have points first.

>Bolt gun and bolt rifle are equally good at killing a guardsman.
they're not
a bolt rifle means the amount of saved wounds is halved if the squad is in the open

You know these people never played a game with Orks in their life. New twin linked does nothing to help orks, as if you had 2 shots twin linked you would only ever get 1 hit anyway, and flamers were always amazing for orks, they've barely really changed.
What we need are ways to ignore shooting modifiers, more shots per weapon, fnp, and more reliability in general. I can imagine properly balanced ork vehicles having low toughness but having tonnes of wounds in comparison to similar imperial ones.

Also I want flyers to be able to charge so I can 9/11 imperial knights with dakkajets

Space marines can't be that special if CIVILIANS (i.e Eldar Guardians) can easily kill the best of them (i.e. terminators.)
>>
>>53411469
Yeah it's based on the points.
Stripping wounds has never been easier so multiwound models might be seeing a price drop.

Or.. space marines might, and everything else has gotten a minimum-effort rebalance for the index and will still be shit.
>>
>>53411518
It's not even that.
In 7e they were Marines+1, but that plus one was all in offense and none in survivability.

So we had 20-30pt models as durable as a 14pt Tactical.

Follow up that the plus one was also put into melee boosts (as opposed to Deathwatch which were Marines+1 (Shooting)) and 7e WAS a shooting edition.

In 8e getting D3 damage on all melee that will be huge, and combined with removing the stranglehold 7e put on Psychics. Things are looking "okay" but W8-4-8.

Their guns can compete in range better, they can tank twice as many pulse rifle shots, they reduce the 4+ and when they eventually charge they have an extra attack each which is neat.

Crunch =/= fluff
Space Marines have been slowly but steadily escalating in power fluffwise since 1st ed, going from literal space marines to 9 foot tall brain eating acid spitting posthuman demigods, while their rules in-game have stayed the same. New marine models are an attempt to fix that, but it's probably only going to get worse, as custodes are just marines +1 on the tabletop but can apparently take on entire chapters of marines in lore.

Yes and no. When Mass Effect 1 starts, before he's given his broad discretionary powers as a SPECTRE, Shepard is more or less an Alliance special forces/infantry/security officer. The Alliance military is organized as a navy, but the game calls Alliance grunts soldiers three hundred times for every time it calls them marines. The game does occasionally call them marines, though, so technically Shepard could be considered a marine in space.

The rank of Alliance rank of N7 means he's among the most bestest trained that they've got.

In 40k terms, he's basically a scion captain turned inquisitor. Then he becomes a traitor captain, and then a rogue trader, and then sort of becomes warmaster for the Imperium.
>>
>>53411417
That's what they've been known as in-universe since 2e.

Yes AA is easier to copyright because space marine can be just marines in space, whereas 40k space marines are a specific thing: meta
-humans in power armor who have a cult-like devotion to the emperor as a father figure & a monastic lifestyle outside of battle

That's a very specific concept that is not just jarheads with laser guns & space ships.

I wouldn't say they have good shooting. They didn't have the weapons for that. If you wanted Marines+1 (Shooting), Deathwatch did that with Special Ammo and good ranged weapons.
>>
>>53411599
>Their guns can compete in range better
Tactical and Devastator marines can take weapons that outrange most Tau units. And now that you can move and fire heavy weapons with only a -1 to hit why wouldn't you want those ?

>they can tank twice as many pulse rifle shots
Depends on the points value, if you can take 2 normal marines for one primarine it's not much of a difference.

> they reduce the 4+
They do have that, but I wonder if that is enough compensation for not being able to take las-plas

Yeah, there's nobody in 40k who quite lines up with the way book troopers work - Tau battlesuits, and the stuff worn by Sisters and Inquisitors, is in the general direction, but of course they have very different training and tactics from the mobile infantry.
(And if anyone's wondering about Master Chief - the Spartans very much feel like a slightly more 'realistic' take on the Adeptus Astartes - *somewhat* ridiculous genetic modifications, *somewhat* ridiculously powerful suits. Fluffled out pretty much the same, though - if they managed to exist in a crumbling space society for ten thousand years, they'd probably also end up as quasi-religious warrior-monk orders.)

Because I can get an entire squad of 2 wound plasma dudes.

Ahh fuck! They're turning soace marines into tau aren't they?
>>
>>53411899
Combined arms tau was how you ran them for most of the life of tau. Squads in devilfish, pathfinders in the flanks, hammerheads in the rear, you only took crisis and stealth suits if you had a real hard-on for them or you needed plasma/melta specifically.
Then the 6ed codex and the Riptide dropped, and the Riptide changed everything. Along with crisis suits getting serious buffs, farsight enclaves letting you take armies of them, the Riptide was a bigass mecha that was one of the most broken units in the history of the game. It melted terminator squads by looking at them, while being stupidly tough.
So everyone bought the shit out of riptides,as they're also a pretty nice model, but GW assumed that meant that literally the only thing people wanted from tau was giant ass mecha. So they directly went against established tau lore to make stormsurges and ghostkeels in citadel, and forgeworld only takes a break from horus heresy to make tau riptide variants.
The way you want to play tau used to be the standard, and was really powerful in 4ed, but it hasn't been the norm for a long time. Tau have changed. I mean, we have literally never gotten a new ally model since launch.
>>
>>53412362
It's been super delayed and now they have to re-playtest all of the units for 8th.

How are 40k players not atleast alittle upset about GW changing scale on minis and bases? Do they just buy so much product that they don't mind rebuying portions of their army?

I'm not sure, the issue I see is they have to straight up replace, they can't asspull a slightly better proportioned guardsman as a new type of guardsman to supplement the old manletmen
So a new regiment could work, but then you run the risk of pissing on all the cadian players, IE, the vast vast majority of guard players

You ought to be calling mods on yourself, son.

Leviathan is Kirby-GW nids. Hell, Chambers himself wasn't even around anymore when that scheme was made (not that I think he necessarily had any input on the studio paint schemes).

THIS is what OG nids looked like the first time they got a consistent army-wide colour scheme.

>>53411462
You're right about TL but the template changes ARE great for Orks. Born because it make sure it better for us to use them, but because it makes boy a mobs actually usable at all. Iceberg played Orks since late 4th and my buddy who i play with like every other we know plays mech guard. I have literal you picked up 4 full mobs of boys beforehand they even have the chance to move before. It's only worse for us if you play on tables with 0 trrrain.

tbqh senpai I also saw my first nids with leviathan, liked the idea but never the paint job, same for behemoth. I had already seen the one in the picture in previous threads, it looks superior to the others albeit less flashy.
>>
>>53412746
is there a reason to do that I wonder? Does it save costs in anyway, or is it a reason just to make people want to rebuy stuff?

Is warhammer big in Japan in the slightest? Cause I'd assume larger bases would be pretty unpopular there. Probably a weeb ass thing to even think but still, makes me think of MTG vs yugioh card size

You'd think, but then again miniature war games don't really have the collection/chance element that Japanese seem to love.

I'd also assume the whole gritty tone of the game wouldn't be popular there, but then again mtg is popular in Japan and its art isn't typically what you'd think flies there.

So considering there is no WiP thread up where I can ask, is there someone that has the tyranids painting guide? last time I checked from the WiP links it was not there though and considering this are my first minis I'd probably be helpful (also for inspiration?)

I feel you 100%, I've been snatching orphaned ones up off of eBay and selling off my jurassicpark style 3e ones because I can't get over how much cooler the metal sculpts are

>The Carnifex is a sidegrade IMO, both have their charm
Also agreed. Of all the modern Tyranids I have the least complaints about the Carnifex, although it does lack just a little of the oldschool gribbliness.

>Same with the Lictor and the Zoan
Disagree with both for different reasons. As far as I'm concerned the OG Lictor is still BY FAR the best and most terrifying - Zoanthropes on the other hand are one of the models that I actually prefer the newest version to all else. They're so fucking Giger with the long bloated heads and the neurothrope especially with its bio-mechanical spine appendage. I do appreciate that the Maleceptor's silhouette pays homage to the original Zoey though, it did have a certain charm.

Also, the old Ripper swarms were far superior, and I would kill to have smaller, slinkier looking Termagants again with the curved back and curled stinger-tail instead of the rigid ones they have today with the big thick beeftails.

Related note, the Deathwatch: Overkill box came with a unique Purestrain Genestealer sculpt that went back to the old back-carapace style with the large gill sections and the spinal protrusions between them, while keeping all the other elements of the newer ones that are actually superior. They're fucking awesome and I've been slowly building a collection of those as well.

Death guard had dedicated models for a single unit before. Space Marine have an entire range.

You can easily get away with an updated kit being bigger (see also greater demons or thousand sons) but GW doesn't have the means or the will to upscale the entire SM range, so it must exist a reason for the existence of both Manlet Marines and Truescale marines. For Chaos you can just say that cult troops are mutated to be bigger.

Yeah on further consideration I gotta agree with you about the Zoan, the new one captures the Giger influences better, and as well with the fact that the Maleceptor covers the old aesthetic as well so we can have both

For the Rippers IMHO I would like most a combination of both designs,I like elements of both

For the Lictor the only part the only noteworthy differences I see are the bulbous head and the mouth containing the tentacles(which I love) but I don't feel like it's enough to make the model plainly superior

And for the genestealers I gotta give it to he vanilla sculpt,it has something that makes it look slightly extra gribbly

We have so much in common
>>
>>53413621
But it's the scale. Yes, we do get slightly more hits (16%), but we get, mathematically, the least benefit from this change over any other army. Space marines get a 33% increase in firepower from this and tau commanders get a 42% increase (1.94 to 3.33 hits). Everyone is calling this a great change for orks, including gw's own article, when orks get literally the least benefit from this in the game, putting them behind the meta and even more underpowered, relatively speaking. It's objectively bad for the army, which just goes to show how much the people writing these articles actually understand about game balance.

I'd like to expand the Genestealer Cult I started with Deathwatch Overkill, but I've noticed something which really irks me: The armour of acolytes and hybrids, as well as the Goliath vehicles, look rather modern and sci-fi, but the Chimera and Leman Russes which are expected to go with them do not match that style at all. In fact, Goliath trucks look more like a mixture Tau and AdMech technology than anything the IG would use.
Would it be legal to just replace the Chimeras and Leman Russes with another model of similar size? I've been thinking of using a Devilfish and Hammerhead respectively, converting them with GSC insignia and painting them in the colour scheme of the Goliaths.
They'd still use the rules for Chimeras and Leman russes of course, it would just be an aesthetic thing.

Would it be Legal? Not really, unless you converted them up good to make them look more imperial-y. I think the problem is that imperial vehicles are boxy, xenos vehicles are curvy, but the goliath is made out of curved boxes. I really don't think devilfish will work without heavy conversion, as they still look very alien. Try some 30K stuff, it generally looks much more modern than the ancient IG sculpts, to the point where custodes stuff looks much more tau than imperial

For examples. I mean, you could fluff them as looted hammerheads and the like, but I think you're underestimating how un-imperial tau vehicles look.

I just want some goddamn 40k admech vehicles. They worship machines, why don't they have any?

>Chimeras are more recent than leman russes, which is why they don't make an apperence in 30k

That's just FW memery to beat more money out of customers. There are plenty vehicles in 30k that use the chimera chassis as a basis, like the Meduse and Basilisk. That the tank they are modifications of is missing is just a hilarious oversight, or devious scheme to force people to buy FW resin.

I'm not saying it doesn't make sense lore-wise, I just want my GSC vehicles to go together visually. The cockpit of a goliath truck more closely resembles a blocky devilfish than anything the imperial guard has in their arsenal, and the idea of a human mining world taken over by tau, improved by their technology and then overtaken by a greater xenos threat of genestealers appeals to me.

>I just want some goddamn 40k admech vehicles

I'm still very confused how AdMech, the faction that fabricates all or at least most vehicles used by its armies, doesn't use them in-game.

It's like Chaos not having drop pods in the game, whilst using them regularly in the fluff, all over again

So missions and objectives tomorrow.

Is there actually anything at all wrong with the mission and objective rules from 7th ed? I thought they were one of the best elements of the game. I'd be perfectly happy if they don't change a thing, but I guess they will for the sake of selling new cards if nothing else.

Chaos makes literally no sense. Drop pod sprue + chaos upgrade sprue (the one they pack with rhinos and bastions) = chaos drop pod. Requires no new expensive moulds, instant profit.
Same deal with admech, just let admech take leman russes and chimeras. Although up until recently admech couldn't even take other admech without allying, the army never made any sense in its construction from day 1.

Goliaths are civilian vehicles. They aren't meant to "go with" standard Munitorum stuff any more than Space Marine or AdMech stuff is.

Well the objective rules are very swingy.
With luck you can have a 10 point lead by turn 2 or start of with Domination, Superiority and Line breaker vs a Obsec heavy opponent.

Look anon, I don't agree with you and in my opinion there's plenty of great villains in books
The reason I gave the meme response is it doesn't matter if I give you plenty of examples of antagonists that are widely received as being great characters, you've obviously made a subjective descision that none of them will be good and fine some way to shoot them down
But since I would say the burden of proof is in your court for your claim would you mind explaining for logic for why there are no good villains?
Unless you're a different anon, just ignore my autism then

AdMech should be able to use allmost all Imperial vehicles, including Rhinos and Land Raiders. I mean, they venerate Land Raiders because it has such an advanced machine spirit, yet don't have any themselves ? Those horny toaster hoarders ? Sure thing GW, sure thing.

If I go for the ice world looks, priming in white/bone would be already a huge step forward. The same if I go for a black / yellow scheme or even something like dark blue which I am pretty sure also has primer cans
>>
>>53415361
I've researched all vehicles GW sells, including Forgeworld, and the only satisfactory chimera replacements would be these:
-Heavily convert a dunecrawler into more of a truck-type vehicle.
-Add tires to a Taurox rather than the silly tracks, and convert windshields/tempestus sigils into something more industrial and genestealer looking
-Un-Orkify a Trukk, though I have no idea how to make an ork vehicle not look orky anymore.
-Use a Devilfish, put genestealer sygils on it and claim that either A: the humans of this planet got a hold on and used Tau technology or B: Tau actually conquered the planet, but were themselves slaughtered by a brooding genestealer cult shortly after, leaving only their technology as a sign of their presence.

>>53415477
I know my genestealer lore, and I know that the jumbled together look of their forces of miners and the more recently absorbed visually separate Imperial Guard military vehicles and troops is present in the fluff, I just personally want to field a Genestealer Cult army which looks visually cohesive throughout.

>>53415484
There's several stages of difficulty with tyranids:
Stage 1: Three colours (Carapace, Skin, Claws)
Put a wash of your desired colour over it, dry brush it, done.
Stage 2: Accent colours (painting in eyes, tongues, the space between the ribs and on their unarmoured "stomaches")
This should only be done on bigger units like the carnifex, maybe the warriors if you enjoy painting a lot.
Stage 3: Patterns.
Only do this on HQ or units you will only have very few of. Putting patterns on a gargoyle like the other anon did is absolute lunacy.

Can't say I can agree with that at all. If you have eyes you should be able to tell that Imperial and Tau vehicles have a very distinct shape language.
Only the AdMech stuff has more organic shapes, everything else is geometric primitves and brutal lines with the Imperial stuff.
In that sense a goliath does look waaaay more at home in an IG army than any Tau vehicle.

If you just want to use tau stuff, I guess you could loot them just as well as orks do, but the rationale of visual coherence just does not make any sense to me whatsoever.

If you want alternative models you could look into 1:35 or 1:42 scale models of ww2 vehicles. They'll look better next to IG, since that is were a lot of Imperial vehicles got their design cues from.
You'll have to work around some minor issues with the scale, especially in open vehicles where you may have to seat crew and some such, but in any case it seems to make a lot more sense than using Tau vehicles.

>>53414888
Poor Calgar stuck at home.

I imagine they probably won't bother giving Cadia an ultracastellan, so maybe the supreme leader of the imperial forces will be Yarrick?
>>
>>53415901
I may have miscommunicated. The pivot of the visuals here are the Goliaths, not the Imperial guard. I specifically want to avoid the strong, geometric primitives of most imperial vehicles because I feel they clash with the look of the goliaths.

Admech would be excellent, yes, but the only vehicles they have are dunecrawlers, which would take some heavy conversion to adhere to the idea of a more futuristic, yet still somewhat believable look I think the goliaths were going for.
Goliaths have a lot of curved surfaces and lines, and small cockpits with tiny-bar-like "windscreens", which just reminded me of Devilfish. I can see how they share no real coherence anywhere else, though. I may just be biased because of how much I like the devilfish.

In the end, I may just buy even more goliaths, slap a troop carrier bay on the end of one, call it a chimera, slap an even bigger turret on the other, and call it a leman russ. Goliath trucks and even more converted goliath trucks are about as visually cohesive as possible.

I will stick with stage 1 and 2, patterns can look super cool or a complete mess. And I don't want to have to learn how to scrap off paint on top of the how to start painting tutorials.
