That's good, glad GW hasn't nerfed them.

When will we get to see thorax swarm weapons and advanced biomorphs like Regeneration and Acid Blood on hive tyrants?

The fact that it can move 16" and then charge, is alone a massive boost to effectiveness. It can now be an actual melee unit, no longer gets stuck airborne.

AOS is selling better than Fantasy.

8th Edition will likely bring a ton of new players, as well as bring old players who haven't played in a long time back to the game.

I've seen numerous people online say things like "I haven't played since 3rd/4th/5th edition but the new rules make me want to dust off my old [whatever] army", I wouldn't be surprised if this happens a lot. Then they'll look at their shitty old 3rd edition models and they'll want to buy new ones.

GW isn't going anywhere.

People are losing their shit. My local facebook GW groups are talking boycotts, setting up private groups to play 7th ed since we cant play in stores anymore.

I thought id seen real shit when fantasy died but holy fuck. I know two people who are selling their armies on gumtree. Our local manager is posting every 5 minutes asking people to stop messaging him.

Every forum I know has exploded. Warseer mods are deleting every thread apparently. dakkadakka looks like a fucking concentration camp survivors reunion.

ITS 6AM.

>>
>>53528880
>>53528923

There were leaks last thread.

Vanquisher is a six-foot melta and by virtue of the inability for anything single-shot to not oneshot things is even worse than 7e

Battle cannon is as bad as we already know

Eradicator is the exact same as battle cannon except 2 less strength and it ignores cover penalties at half the range

Exterminator is no longer twin linked but didn't get a RoF increase for some retarded reason

Demolisher is crud

Punisher is unchanged, which means it's good now

Executioner is the only one to get buffed; plasma cannon can fire on low power now to not get hot, but high power deals 6 mortal wounds on a 1 and destroys the gun, preventing the tank from using it again.

In short unless they've escaped the points increase that vehicles have been getting across the board, Russes are awful this edition (except the Punisher and Executioner).

Strange. Before the BingBongs were awake these threads where calm and hopeful. I guess Brexit has made the Eu really self loathing.

So I haven't played w40k since mid 3ed. No longer have any models left, I think. But the new stuff seems to look nice. Read a bit, about the horrors of past editions. And it seems like 8th is going to be at worse different,and probably better then other editions.
One thing does seem to worry me. I have seen that nowadays there is stuff like titans being played, and I assumed that they are powerful, so people that buy them want to use them. Now points wise I do not know how they cost, but I expect them to cost a lot of points. And here is my problem. Back when I played 1000-1250pts was perfectly viable points range to play. But with the big models runing around, I expect the avarge army cost, in points, to be rather high. So wouldn't the starting point for people to be a bit high? I played WFB much longer then w40k, left way before AoS started, and in my area it died because no new player could buy a 2500pts army to play the avarge battle, neither were old players willing to experiment with new armies when they costed so much to started. Everything got stale and WFB turned in to guys playing the same armies over and over again, with one or two guys trying to start WFB, and failling. And that is with recasts being an option to start an army. Am worried that 8th may go the same way, huge point armies and obligatory big models. I would rather play something like my old army, a few minimax las plas squads with AC terminator support.

Also can someone explain the new marines to me, as far as the fluff goes ? because the stuff on the GW page doesn't say much.

'Combined Squads' is literally the backbone of Imperial Guard Infantry strategy.

In the last two editions (probably further but I haven't played that far back) Guard Infantry Platoons can run their 2-5 infantry squads as a single unit, allowing buffs, orders, and morale checks to be spread across a much larger number of troops.

It was literally the single biggest contribution to their staying power; nids and orks got unit sizes in the 20s and 30s, Guard got combined squads.

Without it the largest size of unit in the Guard is 10 models. And it's already been leaked that orders affect one unit.

So without Combined Squads orders are much weaker; in fact literally any buff the guard can give to their units is much weaker.

I'm talking '7e orks' weaker.
>>
>>53529072

People are stupid. People don't like change. People will over react before they understand what's really going on.
>>
>>53529072
Orks are fine, everyone is freaking out too much. Transports are expensive across all armies and ork boyz are 6 pts for 5" M. This apparently is an apocalypse that cannot be handled.
>>
>>53528821
Some qt Guard boys talked me through it think of it this way, priests and commissars give aoe buffs now and you can now fill out the different detachments much easier and cheaper. That way you end up with lots of command points and people who can give orders.

I'm upset too but you can get past it too.
>>
>>53529056

enjoy being obsolete if you're a low priority codex

Deathwatch leaks when?
>>
>>53529021
Nah, you can totally play in the 1000-1250 points range. Anyone bringing super heavy and/or titan units to those games are players you want to avoid anyway. However, 8th does make it so that any unit has at least a chance against the big toys. We have yet to really see anything in practice yet, so it's difficult to make any concrete assertions (although many on here are doing so anyway).

The Primaris Marines were a project started by Guilliman and big daddy tech priest guy Cawl was back before the Heresy. They were bigger, harder, sexier, and more virile than the Marines of old. Shit went down, Guilliman was knocked out, and it all went on hold until now.

He sounds like a little bitch, freaking out without having the whole picture. IG orders look great and russes are still the cheapest looking tanks for their firepower and durability.
>>
>>53529091
I'd argue combined squads aren't the greatest idea in 8th. Commisars are an aoe aura instead of having to be inside the unit, orders impact all units 6" away, and if you get charged and fall back you have on giant squad falling back instead of just one small squad and others to provide fire support. Only real benifit I can think of is that it would make them more likely to survive a charge and not let an enemy unit consolidate into other units.

>>53528875
>for each psyker,
Rule of One stops you from using it more than once a turn in matched play. Only Smite and Smite variants get around that.
>>
>>53528608
I would say two medium. It feels like you do want a pretty sizable unit so they have a chance to actually Hit & Run out of a fight, and you don't gain too much from spamming small squads for multiple Helliarchs.

Running a blob of 20 feels like it'll get risky with battleshock, and it also means you can't split the unit up as easily.

10 feels like a good spot to aim for
>>
>>53529118
>1000-1250

Anon, most squads are only 3-6. Very few people are up for those sized games, man.
>>
>>53529122
We haven't seen the points cost of russes, but for what it's worth they're the same "power" as ork battlewagons.

So now that it's pretty clear Custodes don't have an HQ nor can one of their shield captains act as one how long am I going to have to wait to play my army? Will they put out a detachment that doesn't need an HQ? Will we get an HQ? Am I going to have to wait a year to get a Talons of the Emperor codex because literally nobody gives a shit about it?

>>53529103
It's not going to work out well.

Orders still affect one unit, and far more importantly, BATTLESHOCK is rolled per-unit. Unless commissars allow you to COMPLETELY ignore battleshock, Guard players will lose squads VERY fast, which is really bad, since they seem to be forced to use the notoriously flimsy Heavy Weapons squad, which allows their heavy firepower to be focused straight out of a gunline, instead of the much tougher 50-man platoon with 5 heavy weapons teams embedded in it.

Combined with the other things that are happening re: cover and melee, Guard are going down in the meta.

Between Killteam, Shadow War, Storm of Sigmar, and the new AOS Skirmish games GW has been giving people a ton of options for playing games with 200 or so points worth of models. You can get started with all three games for anywhere between $30 and $65 worth of models. Add paint and hobby tools and you're looking at being 100% ready to go for anywhere from fifty to a hundred bucks, which isn't bad as far as hobbies go, and is pretty good for GW games in general.

You'll be able to get the 40K starter set for $128 if you buy it from one of those webstores that does a blanket 20% off of GW products, and that's enough to start playing small games with two armies (or you could sell one of the armies and put that money toward more units for the one you keep).

Dark Vengeance (the 7th edition starter set) is still a great box, and although it's still priced at $110 a lot of stores are likely going to be blowing it out for cheap once 8th hits.

The Start Collecting boxes get you around 4-500 points worth of minis for most armies and are still a pretty good deal.

Getting into Warhammer is cheaper now than it has ever been.

That's where I was leaning, too. The benefit of having one big unit is the shared drug, but if I have 7 drug units, I can double up anyway. The Succubus counts here as do Reavers, so it's it hard.

God I wish they didn't look dumb.

I personally like units of 10. Big enough to notice when they hit something, not big enough to hurt if they get obliterated, easy enough to move around, you're not missing out on any special weapons from not being max size etc.
>>
>>53529135

BS4+ 24" Heavy3 S5 AP-2 D1 on a W2 platform is not so bad for 27ppm. Think of it this way, nobz are 17 ppm so the snazzgun is effectively 10 ppm.

We've seen maybe 5 unit profiles for guard with no point values, and maybe 3 profiles for Orks, but with point values for all the units (but no stats)

If he's burning his army now, he's retarded.
>>
>>53529170
There isn't one. That's the problem. Combined Squads isn't mentioned in the abilities listing of Infantry Squads.

As a guard player you have no idea how much this worries me. Guard are one of the big 3 blob armies, right there with Orks and Nids. HOW CAN WE BLOB IF OUR UNIT SIZE IS LIMTED TO TEN MODELS?

Necron player here. I'm a fan if what we got. T6 is the perfect balance point - Engageable by small arms fire, but a pain in the ass to do in order to bait people into using bigger guns, to their detriment. New Reanimation is weaker, but so is everyone else. And bringing a Monolith means something again.

Ah, good. I got nervous there for a second.
>>
>>53529133
Going to go on faith that you're not a troll here...

The "power" numbers found in the upper left of datasheets is an entry's "power rating" and is a loose way to build roughly even forces. It's for getting games together quickly.

Full points values still exist if you want to go that route. They are compiled on a separate page, similar to wargear lists of the past, but now all points values are listed in that way. Army points values seem to be fairly comparable to 7th.

>>53529272

What are you reading about CSM? I'm curious
>>
>>53529265
>a solution to kill points

Try 'the backbone of Guard infantry strategy'. Any guard army that wasn't running full mechanized included a large platoon, always combined, always the centerpiece of the army. This has been the case since the beginning of 5th.

If that's gone, and there's no serious boost to infantry staying power to replace it, I have no idea how Guard can cope.

Because M5" is nullified by a lot of other changes, including them being s4 base and being able to re-roll charge rolls.
>>
>>53529298
>appropriately costed
Which it is, you massive faggot. It costs around the same price as a land raider, is about as durable, which, having played around 5 or 6 games of 8th with my group now based on the leaks, is really durable, and has much better shooting
Fuck off you faggot, you haven't rven played a single game of 8th yet and you're already bitching, not just you, but everyone in this thread. And hell, with all the leaks you all have no excuse, you could go and test most army lists with friends. But instead everyone would rather sit and bitch that it's the end of 40k.
>>
>>53529339
No, I am going to move into whatever emerges as the top 8th army and continue to dominate. Even if it means playing stupid ass armies like necroms skellies dudes. If GW wants to nerf me that's fine but I will get revenge.
>>
>>53529298
Because 300 points for that level of durability and some good long range guns is perfectly in line with literally every other heavy vehicle that we're seeing rules for?

You bother with the Riptide because you like the model and want it as a centerpiece to bolster your forces and give them something durable to rally around.

yo dogg
>>
>>53529361
Dont want to copy paste obviously.

summary: New rules looked promising. Leaks show a "fundamental shift" towards using the rulebooks to sell certain models no matter how broken it makes the game. He cites that all the units getting made OP are the ones that never sold and GW probably already has tons of sitting in boxes waiting, so this is just a means to make money on products that wouldnt sell.

>>53529351

Nope, usually maybe but there where plenty of times when deploying separately gave you an advantage in taking and holding points, especially in 5th when vehicles couldn't take them at all.

>>53529396
>The game was perfect. Absolutely perfect. What in the fuck is going on.

It was barely a game, and was by far the worst edition of 40k ever released. Almost every army was rock paper scissors, either winning for free or losing without a chance.

That is if the randomness of everything didn't just totally screw you out of any possible way to win.

It was a bad game for retards, this is a hard course correction.
>>
>>53529386

That's 100% true, though. No legions rules killed it for me. Maybe once the Codex drops I'll care again. However, I doubt non-cult legions will get rules anytime soon.
>>
>>53529396
Fuck you, you are the reason we're called the WAACfag army

>>53529417
And fuck you too, learn to play without riptides

Hey guys, I'm scouring and downloading as much info as I can. I effectively have the complete datasheets for Dark Eldar, bolter bitches and Tau and a good bunch of Primaris, Chaos and orks, but only The Hive Tyrant and Swarmlord for Tyranids, my favorite faction and proud owner of about 7000pts of. Anyone know of any Tyranid leaks I can jump on?
>>
>>53529459
They got axed. Platoons aren't a thing anymore.
>>53529466
Probably what I will do too.
>>
>>53529474
GK are absurdly good.
>>
>>53529411
I mean, he's not totally wrong. There are probably a couple dozen models that had rules so shitty that nobody bought them. Now most units are looking to be between dickcrushingly good and mediocre. Nothing I've seen is pure trash. So now people who like the way they look or like the lore or any dozen of other reasons will be more likely to buy the models because they can actually use them on the TT.

>>53529474
BA seem good and will probably be more well rounded in the end. GK have some powerful stuff but they're more limited and so might not adapt to changes in the metagame as well. I also think BA will get a codex first. I'm biased though.

>Kindly sage, how durable would you say Rhinos are in 8e? Do they consistently get their cargo to the battle lines? How quickly does a Rhino beef it if the enemy decides they dont want it to be near them?
Decent enough to get the job done and maybe hold an objective or fire heavy weapons if a razorback. The lack of the damage chart really helps them, they're good at getting marines where they need to be, which fluff and crunch wise is what they're for. while they die to concetrated fire, 11 wounds and T7 means they're rather resilient to small arms fire. I find they work quite well combined with a turn one strike by something like termies or vangaurd.

>Anything new on Admec?

Friend, you don't want to see...I'm serious. Kastellans are possibly better than they were. Phosphor straight up ignores cover now, but since I THINK cover is now just +1 save, it's kind of like it was only it doesn't need to hit to go off, it just ignores all the time. Thing is, Omnispex also ignores. AND Phosphor lost the ability to tag a target so you can reroll charges. Protocols are brutal now, and they can swap between fun things like 2 Fight phases, DOUBLE shooting, or making their 5+ inuln a 4+ invuln. T7, 6 Wounds, and Datasmiths (taken as ICs now) can repair them d3 wounds per turn. Small problem: they are classed as vehicles now and will explode on death, roll a 6 and everything within 6 takes d3 mortal wounds. Ouch.

DON'T worry about those charges though. AdMech is beyond slow now, like fucking glacial. Rangers and Vanguard lost any bonuses or abilities that helped them move: no Relentless, no Crusader, no Dunestrider - they have a flat 6 inches now, period.

Sicarians are 8, which MIGHT help them run for cover before getting shot to pieces with their T3. The motherfucking Sydonian Dragoons are 10. MOVEMENT FUCKING TEN on a walker that is supposed to be a virtual perpetual motion machine. Ballistari are shooting 5+ every time they move. On the plus side they're 3+ if they don't, but go figure the thing is T6, 4+ Sv with 6 wounds. They MIGHT survive one round of bolters. On the plus side Sydonians are now always +3 str with the lances, meaning Str 8 melee - assuming you can make it in with 10 inch moves, lmao.

And finally, the true kick in the balls: Kataphrons and the Dunecrawler.

So these now have a special ability. Kataphrons can still move and shoot heavy weapons with no penalty. Problem is, they can only move D3.

>THAT IS NOT A TYPO, THEIR "ADVANCE" IS LITERALLY ONE TO THREE INCHES.

Better? So is the Dunecrawler. Yes, the Dunecrawler's advance is D3 inches per turn.
>>
>>53529490
Unless Infantry squads or some of those other units have a special rule where they can bubble around the specialist units and force enemies to shoot them first, I don't see it happening

With shooting protocols on, even ONE Kastellan with full Phosphor loadout can put out 18 Strength 6, AP -2 shots. 1 Damage and can't move, but with that much firepower, who needs to move if you're running something like Cohort Cybernetica? Assuming it's still in, that would be FOUR Kastellans, meaning SEVENTY TWO shots. INSANITY.

The main thing I think you lose is the ability to meatshield specialist units (might still be a special rule like what drones and characters have), and the ability to FRFSRF 50 lasguns with 1 order.

Well, we took a lot of hits but at least the Skittles sniper rifle is pretty heavy hitting. S7 -2AP d3D is pretty damn dangerous and its actually good versus tanks and characters.

Also Kataphrons are super tanky now, throw someone on them to keep them healed in case something takes off a wound or two and its a hell of a stop gap.
>>
>>53529731
No.
>>
>>53529707
Because a lot of shit changed. Rhinos aren't cheap they are 50 points...but they are also more resilient and you can't pop them with just one hit anymore. The very dynamics of how we look at certain units got put on their head.

Does a space marines faction matter any more? Are chapter tactics and such still a thing? Do Space wolves have special rules for being Space Wolves or are they just blue grey space marines?

It's almost like this isn't 7th anymore guys? Why the fuck are you complaining because you can't just do the same old same old? So things are different, so what? Just figure out new strategies.

I'm a sisters player. We had quite a few bitching about how our go to strategy of shoving dominions up your ass is not going to work the same. So the fuck what? So my dominions don't work the same anymore, i'll figure something out.

So my admechs rules changed, so my dudes aren't as fast on the ground now. Well so the fuck what, THEY CAN GET IN FUCKING TRANSPORTS NOW. Who the fuck cares if they can't run as fast as they used to if they can take advantage of the Imperium keyword and grab some wheels?

so guard can't platoon anymore, You'll figure something out. It's not like they can shoot straight for your heavy weapons anyway if they are hidden in the back since they have to shoot at closest anyway you dumb shits. Same fucking difference, you'll just fill up and get command points easier.

Well, I saw tyranid models with haywire-equivalent rules, which may or may not be a window into what arc rifles will do. My French is a little rusty, but it sounds like for every [hit/wound, unsure from memory] on a vehicle you roll a die and on a 4+ it does a mortal wounds in addition to normal damage, with a 6+ doing D3 mortal wounds instead. Said weapons also got their strength bumped up to a point where they can damage vehicles normally too.

neat, dragoons got sort of buffed though the fuck is the point of the phosphor serpenta now? It used to actually synergize with dragoons but now it's just a ranged weapon that ignores cover.

Sweet I just started my Necrons to hopefully get them semi done before 8th and every unit is so expensive it looks like I don't need as many.
Are immortals confirmed better than warriors in every concievable way now? Or with changes to reanimation will it be worth the points for warriors?

If you knew that that might happen and chose to do it anyway then it's no one's fault but your own. If you didn't know that sometime GW might change the rules of their game then you might want to reevaluate your attention to this business.

Kabals and Cults and Covens used to work together all the time though. They were symbiotic and relied on their strengths to succeed in the evil underhanded politics of the Dark City.

Thing is, people from every army are bitching they've become useless.
Some are getting nerfed, a handful buffed, and it'll even out to hopefully more balanced (hopefully. The tourneyfags they've got play testing will hopefully make it so).

And you'll still be able to play, you'll just have to change your list up a little (which is a good thing).

So GW is continuing to do everything it can to keep people from buying this model.

Seriously though, how hard is it to make the stompa just a small step above an imperial knight and to make the morkanaut just a small step below a knight? How fucking hard is it?

Remember that most vehicles will be around 10-12 wounds on average so while a squad of HW Scourges could delete a 12W vehicle per turn, assuming all 6s
I'd much rather have Heat/Dark Lances that punch through saves anyway AND have the potential to do 24 wounds a turn to EVERYTHING

Yeah, Heat Lances will definitely hurt when they hit, but for twice the cost of a haywire blaster.

Haywire blasters are going to be more consistent, slowly picking of vehicles with mortal wounds. Heat Lances are gonna be sporatic and deadly, but 3 heat lances (75 points), only deals 4.5 damage on average due to failing to wound. Not to mention if the vehicle has an invuln save.

>>53530311
It's because you can change the default wargear on most things. it also allows them to buff/nerf just specific weapons or just specific models when they reevaluate points.
>>
>>53530269
Pretty sure you wont lose much by going back to The Price is Right, you just don't gain buffs that will share between some of them (Eg. Lelith gives rerolls to Cult of Strife within x range, if my memory serves).
>>
>>53530306
>Orcs, who were pretty bad off, had some of their biggest limiters removed by the changes in the core rules.
Ork player here, ignore the naysayers, not only did the core rules changes really benefit orks, the buffs units have received are looking really good.
>>
>>53530195
Those are DE points.
>>
>>53530311
Pretty sure the whole point is to give them more knobs to twist. If a certain build or weapon is overperforming they can turn it down across the board with less errata, and if a certain unit is underperforming they can still bring its point costs up.

Basically what happens if I wanna play my dudes my own way? No special fucking rules anymore that's what.

So Admech recap:

>lost Dunestrider rules and all their close combat options are garbage
>Lost FnP on troops, which was useless on t3 anyway, but gained armywide 6++.
>Plasma Culverins lost a shot but lost gets hot
>ombispex now completely ignores cover
>Dunecrawlers still the go to unit, other weapon options now viable
>destroyers and breachers continue to be amazing, gained a wound and 6++
>MSU rangers with 2 sniper rifles might be pretty decent against characters now
>canticles for everyone, but shit, lost skitarii protocols
>Icarus Dunecrawlers are an unholy flier rape machine

Overall, we got out reasonably unscathed, compared to some armies.

Infiltrators got utterly gangraped and there are a lot of small nerfs here and there, especially to weapons.

That said, Skitarii translated over exactly would have been much too strong in this edition. I think they'll still do alright, especially with the fact that the new Forge World book coming out soon should give them access to transports.

Which is the problem. My Haemonculus for instance used to buff the unit he was in, no more. Because we need to fracture the armies even more because that worked so well for the elves in age of fucking sigmar.

Well if your Archon used to be a Witch and they have blood brides bubble wrap them in Blood Brides. They are still nearby Dark elder of the same cabal or what ever it's called and they get the bonus from his aura.

And if your Haemonculus is paying Incubi to escort him then bubble wrap him at least partly in Incubi but keep a few of his flesh slaves nearby so he can buff those to be even more obscene.

And if your succubus is with Wracks...then I'm not even sure what that means because I don't play Dark Eldar but I can guess that you figure her buff bubble only effects...I have no idea. Blood Brides? Whyches? Elder of x Kabal? Fill in some stuff for a brother would you?

Not being able to platoon does not make your infantry worthless. Due to the way shooting and melee work your heavy weapons will still be just as safe. You can figure it out and make it work if you stop bitching about the change for a few seconds and use your fucking brain.

My faction doesn't work the same anymore either. Several of my compatriots are of the opinion we've been driven into the ground. I personally don't see it that way. It looks fine to me. Different, and I'll have to adjust and figure out how things will work now, but just because it's different doesn't mean it's automatically bad.

Vanguard got slightly more expensive too, I think. But I'm okay with that, got a 6++ instead of the crappy 6+ fnp.

The loss of the WS/BS altering hurts like hell, though.

All close combat in the army is shit now, though the walker might be okayish, haven't used it at all.
>>
>>53530412
I can't just get my bloodbrides to work with the Archon's buff aura it doesn't happen because the Archon only affects Kabalite units and they are Cult units. Same with the Haemonculus, same with the Succubus, they only work with their own particular flavor of dude and any other dude you put them will is utterly pointless.

Basically you HAVE to choose which buff you're going for because mixing and matching units on the board gets you all of jack shit.

This kind of sucks though with the new AP rules, very rarely will anyone be shooting an AP -3 weapon at your infantry, and invulns don't help against mortal wounds. Would have been better if it stayed a 6+ FnP since the new rules don't have instant death to make it useless against S6+ weapons.

Vanguards needed a slight nerf though. They were disgusting.

I'm more upset about losing precision shots and AP on galvanic rifles, just so the Primaris shitbirds can steal our gun statline and have it all to themselves.

>Honestly I would be really happy if not for Marines points seeming to be just more efficient then ours across the board.
I think this is a mistake, but I don't have any math to back it up, just feelings. When it comes to vehicles I am certain that trukks, which get to actually fight in cc, are going to be more useful than those 100+ pt drop pods.

Seriously do you have a link to the sheets for all three of those units? Let's have a look see, and see what their Aura Ranges are.
