super glue will work, honestly if you're just starting out it's probably better - plastic glue will basically melt the plastic together so any newbie mistakes you make are permanent, super glue is a pain but it can be snapped if you have to change something

This. Fucking retards on /tg/ talking shit about super glue because they're retarded and can't use it right or buy the right brand, then insist on plastic glue for everything and end up needing super glue for resin/metal anyways.

Can't count how many times someone fucked up with plastic glue then goes "WHAT DO" and I tell them not to use plastic glue anymore and the retards swarm out of the woodwork to defend plastic glue.

I use Crazy Glue for everything. It's strong enough to hold even if the model is dropped - but if you want to tear a model down it cleanly breaks on flat surfaces. IE: Marine arms. (Pinned joints is a different point though.)

>durrhurr styrene cement doesn't work on metal or polyurethane resin
Well no fucking duh. Use the right tools for the job.
>>
>>53601963

Yeah, right tools for the job. Plastic glue should only be used on vehicle hulls and similar joins. Using it for feet to base or 25mm infantry limbs is fucking retarded. Good luck getting that shit apart if you need future work, or if you drop it and it breaks somewhere other than the join.

Side note, do Aura abilities of two Characters stack? We'll use the Master of Pain of the Haemonculous as the example, if there are two of them next to each other, do they each get +2T or just +1T

I know they don't in 7th and I'm going to assume they don't in 8th but I can't find anything in the leaked rules that specifically say they do not stack.

Skub vs anti-skub pic your poison. If you take literally 10 seconds to pre-fit shit before using plastic glue you won't have a single issue and you won't leave a fuckhuge fingerprint made of superglue on the model because it dripped out of the 2 pieces you were gluing. But apparently you're too stupid to even do that.

So I was reading up the stats of this guy since I like the model and the more I look at the power first the more I think it's not really worth those 20 points. Heck, I don't know if I would pay 15 points for it.

Why ? Well, mainly the fast it's doomed to wound vehicles on 5+ only and because it deals only d3 wounds no matter how tough the target is. On top of that they have the -1 to hit.

Compared to that the master crafted power sword is cheaper, doesn't come with the to hit penalty but wounds vehicles only on 6s and deals 2 wounds consistently. Granted not everyone has access to it but it's still rather take power swords on terminators rather than pay 20 points for mediocre weapon that the fist has become.
>>
>>53602142
Bigger.

>>53602109

Can you take a straight on shot of them next to a marine and terminator? no titlted angles, no from above views, 100% parallel to the model.

>>53601793
I put together the entire set in about 2 hours. They arent snapfit, but they are in like 2-3 pieces per marine. shoulderpads are attached to the arms unfortunately

Is there anything stopping a sergeant from taking 2 plasma pistols?

>ive been under a rock how in the fuck have they pulled these new marines of ?

Cawl has been making them for ten thousand years.

>how the hell is ANY space marine chapter going to tolerate these new guys never mind the more fanatical ones?

They've got a Primarch's blessing and once they prove themselves in combat most Marine chapters welcome them with open arms.

>what "upgrades" have been made to these guys

They are bigger and stronger. They've got three additional implants that we don't know about quite yet.

>does it look like we have a thunder warrior situation on the horizon lore wise

No. Guilliman isn't so wasteful. But he has made it clear Primaris is the new paradigm, and that the old type of Marines will be phased out.

>what are we now talking powerscale wise eg: big E, primarchs, custodes, Nu marines, "old" marines ?

Yes.

they can, and its a nerf to plasma, you don't get your armor save anymore, you just die. you can mitigate it with apothecaries and rerolls, as in pic related.

on other notes, the Battlescribe files continue apace, look for the v3 release tonight or tomorrow morning with vanilla marines completely finished (all rules, profiles and weapons) currently doing up IG for a friend.


pic related is a rather hilarious list, it seems devastator squads are the new black for regular marines.

Probably not. Lacks variety, doesn't have that much firepower, and you're going to have a hell of a time holding objectives.

It's a buff because you don't have to overcharge anymore, and even then captains and all the named captains give re-rolls to hit so overcharging isn't even that dangerous. Also Plasma pistols are cheaper.

>>53602656
Roll a dice, add how many died. Subtract your leadership and whatever left over is how many models in that unit runs away.
>>
>>53602656
You roll 1d6 at the end of the turn, add the number of guys you lost that turn to that number, and subtract your leadership.

That's how many guys flee the fight and are removed from play.

No more falling back, being pinned, etc. You're either in the fight and working fine, or you've fled and no longer exist on this battlefield.

I'd say leadership 8 on 1d6 is pretty good.

Current plan is to do minor factions in between major ones, as each major faction takes a while with raw data entry.

thankfully the rules across datasheets are mostly the same with minor variables, so for now I've just linked them all to the most common variant (example of this is the explodes rule) once I have done the major rough pass with everything blocked in I can go back and fix tiny details like that (and fix terminator selection logic, not looking forward to that)

Well shit, Legion of the Damned got shuffled up and lost a bunch of options.
Upside is they can straight up fit in my Blood Angels detachment now, and they don't have to start off the table any more.
Downside is that their weapon options are basically lifted from the garbage tier Imperial Agents unit profile, they lost Fear and their freedom to move and shoot all weapons without penalty too.

About many things, I'm likely angrier than I care to admit. Right now, I could certainly be happier about this cellphone roguelike.

I'm not mad about Custodes, though. They look like someone fed all of history's worst parade uniforms to a yak, waited for it to pass, and then stitched it all back together, and then said to themselves, "I bet I could make an even uglier piece of shit than this."

Again, not Eldar. My army of choice has the most beautiful models in the entire citadel line, but is sadly unavailable in 40k.

Blood Angels are in a better place at the moment with 8th's changed to assault.
Pros:
>Sanguinary Guard now have 2 wounds and a 2+ save
>Death Company have access to 4 point power swords. Black Rage gives them +1 Attack in the Fight phase if they Charged and allows the unit to ignore wounds on a D6 roll of 6.
>Sanguinary Priests give +1 Strength to Blood Angels units within 6" and can heal or revive a model within 3" each turn
>Baal Predator is dead killy now and is the only vehicle that still has overcharged engines

Cons:
>Inferno Pistols are 20 points
>Lost overcharged engines on all vehicles but the Baal Predator
>Lost the option to take meltaguns in assault squads
>Librarians are restricted to the Sanguinary Discipline (I haven't had a look at the powers yet).
>Sanguinary Guard with Chapter Banner is now a 4 Wound Elites choice called an Ancient. BA units within 6" do not need to take Morale tests and re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Fight phase.
>Special Characters are restricted to their chapters. The example they give is that Dante cannot be fielded in a successor chapter.
>>
>>53602863
Everyone can move and fire heavy weapons at just -1 to hit now.

Everyone is restricted to their army's discipline now. It helps GW control who has access to what, and in return limit the number of game-breaking combos.
>>
>>53603033
Ever sub faction has their own psychic power set and ONLY their own. Basically you only ever have access to like 3 psychic powers + smite and your faction determines what those 3 are.

On the plus side you always have those 3. Psychics are much weaker this edition but seem to consistently have a purpose.

Are you fucking retarded? 3D6 Toughness test, for every point you fail by take a mortal wound?

>>53603089
That's always been the case. Sanguinary was always Biomancy + Pyromancy babby power discipline.

But before you could just go with default. Now? Now you're fucked. This means Iron Hands will be getting the insane vehicle buffing abilities then.

You must play Space Marines.

If Skaven were actually in HH I'd have a reason to play the imperialfag's containment game.

I do play 40k, it just doesn't have my favorite army.
>>
>>53603133
Compared to smite which is straight D3 mortal wounds?
>>
>>53603125
Unleash Rage is +1 attack on an assault unit
How can you say that's bad?!
>>
>>53603117
I'm not going to make any announcements either way, but necrons seem really, really, really strong right now.

With two relatively cheap characters and a cheap vehicle a 20 man squads models get back up on a 4+ per model every turn for the entire game and on two of those turns you can roll for every model that ever died twice.

And those are all aura abilities so you could probably get like 3 or more units within range of it.
>>
>>53603153
The space marine one is + 1 strength, toughness and attacks
>>
>>53603152

That must target the nearest enemy unit at all times? The average number of wounds from Blood Boil on a T4 unit is 7, that's pretty fucking good.
>>
>>53603185
That's not how blood boil works. It's one mortal wound per result that's equal or higher it can only deal 3 max.
>>
So how are Deff Koptas now?
>>
>>53603089

Bro, you're utter shit. All 3 BA powers are super useful and perform very well in the context of the army.
>>
>>53603175
On a single model, not a whole unit like the BA one
>>
>>53602662
Missed Vulcan hestan my friend as well as the evicirator on the assault squad
>>
>>53603203
Ok, so a psyker can cast both powers in a single turn, it's not a question of either or, it's both and
>>
>>53603203
Still better than smite since you can actually choose your target.
>>
>>53603175

For one model, not an entire unit.
>>
>>53603256
Still a pretty crap power. You'd never take it over the other two.

Sanguinary Discipline is two great powers and one pretty weak one. I still like it more than Librarius though.
>>
>>53602302
old marines can become new marines

so I take it Dark Imperium is out, does anyone know if there's any mentions of the new organs?

I really like how they changed Sanguinary Priests to have a +1 Str 6 inch AOE for all BA. It nicely matches the lore of fighting harder in the presence of a blood chalice.
>>
So familia, are the Dark Eldar good? What are the best units/most improved?
>>
>>53603329
Is Celestine really good enough to take 5?
>>
>>53603298

No, even if you're strict wysiwyg you just ignore it or choose the generic equivalent if its a weapon.
>>
>>53603334
That's pretty much par for the course for all of the disciplines
>>
>>53603314
It is a librarian in terminator armour with a plasma pistol. So sadly nope.

>>53603298
What the fuck kind of relic is it? A weapon is a weapon just use the power sword/axe/maul equivalent and anything else can be ignored.

Sure, but LotD didn't count as moving for the purposes of all weapons, so they could always fire at full effectiveness.

There might be a couple of contributing factors to that. First of which is that her squad isn't necessarily unique as she has two Gemini Seraphim at her side. If Celestine was a unique model, we'd have shitfests saying her Gemini can't be taken as they're unique as well.
>>
>>53603368
I'd just call it a combi-plasma in the meantime.

I'm saying count it as the plasma half of a combi-plasma. No converting necessary.

Combi-weapons are back to being unlimited use.

You can't just put 16 hormagaunts in a group and pay less. Even if you're missing models you have to pay for the full amount. So they come in multiples of 10 so if you have 16 you have to pay for 20. It's dumb, I know.

No it doesn't fucking work that way in Matched Play you retard. Read the rules.

The language and I quote is:

>Sometimes you may find you do not have enough models to field a minimum sized unit, if this is the can still include one unit of that type in your army with as many models as you have available.


The minimum size for fucking hormaguants is 10 - not fucking 15 or 10. They give individual points for a reason you cromagnon fuck.
>>
>>53603694
Literally only if the size is under the MINIMUM. Minimum for hormaguants is 10.

Why in the everloving fuck do you think they provide a per model cost in the book if you weren't allowed to take odd sized units?

Matched play uses individual points cost, no power points you idiot.

He's correct, it's a problem because of where I put the constraint, already fixed for next release.

Currently most squads use a logic where it fills in mimum standard wargear for minimum size, there is a logic method that allows scaling minimums but it's quite complicated, so I'm using manual methods for the 'rough draft' version of these.

No you fucking retard, just because they actually used the granularity of points instead of having them inflated by 5 for no reason doesn't mean they're phasing them out.

desu I think it's good GW realized that fortification overload was becoming a problem, you could make a Siegfried line using half your points in fortifications and just say "come at me bro" in most eternal war missions.

Addition to this reply, if anyone has battlescribe experience and feels like doing a xenos faction following the same logic/format as the marines, knock yourself out, I'll add it to the main release once I've looked it over.

Why have they gone so grimderp? It was nice having the Emperor think of his sons as actual sons.

"Understrength" means "below minimum size."
If the minimum is 10 and you want to run 17, you don't have to pay for 20.
>>
>>53604104
Essentially, I guess. More like a soft-reboot. The old famous faces are there, previous events are still referred too. As for the Emperor? I guess he wouldn't have a choice. He'd telepathically go "Take me to this part of the galaxy" and he'll meditate the entire way. Then when he gets there, he'll beat whatever needs to be beat, then go back to meditating. So he can't fix the Imperium. But defeating the shit on X planet would hurt the Chaos Gods more than him sitting in his room meditating.

Or some shit I dunno anon.

No - they provide an opportunity to force your opponent to double deploy. They also have a guaranteed turn of arrival which actually matters because you always get the alpha or beta per your preference. Additionally with no scatter you can maximize whatever range band you want.

You shouldn't use nothing but them anymore but they still fulfill a role.

The Palatine Blades is an unknown founding Space Marine Chapter derived from a lost company of Emperor’s Children. Their origins can be traced back to the time of the Great Crusade. They are a newly founded Chapter, but possess weapons and technology that predate the Horus Heresy with the know how to maintain and create more on part to their Tech-Marines. They are not a Codex Astartes-compliant Chapter since, though they follow the structure of the Chapter they maintain a culture that is not the norm amongst most Astartes Chapters.

During the Great Crusade, Fulgrim, who was already under the influence of the Laer Sword, had sent his Third Company under Lord Commander Raphael Carion away to fight the Xenos species known as the Water Dogs. Though they accepted their Primarch’s request, they did they know of the vanity and depravity that was slowly consuming their Legion. Within transit in the Warp, the Fleet’s navigators fell into a deep trans and soon became trapped. Though it may had seemed that a few months had past, over ten-thousands years had pasted in real-space. When they had reemergence, the Astartes knew little of the Great Treachery and millennia that had followed. Now they fight for the Emperor as they did during the Crusade, aiming to rekindle the Emperor’s vision for humanity and finding redemption in the eyes of greater Imperium.

The Astartes of the Palatine Blades are know primarily for their skills with a highly skilled in bladed weapons (namely their signature Charnable Sabers) and hand-to-hand combat, though they more than adept with ranged weapons as well. As a benefit from being from another time, they have a plethora of technology that pre-dates the Horus Heresy, and are fortunate to have Tech-Marines that have the know how to maintain, repair and replace any damaged equipment. These include full suits of Mark IV Maximus Armor, Charnable Sabers, Barrage Plasma Guns, and many other artifacts thought to be lost to history. All of their equipment is decorated in the way that only a Astartes from the Emperor’s Children know how, being beautiful master pieces yet no less dangerous. Their beliefs resemble closely of their Emperor’s Children - the pursuit of martial perfection and the acquiring of art - but learning of their Legion’s fate at the hands of Chaos they have adopted a more simple, subtle, and unobtrusive belief.

Though the Palatine Blades are structured in the style of standard Astartes Chapter, they are very opinionated when it comes to matters outside their own Chapter. They found it rediculous that nearly every created Chapter was following the Codex Astartes as if it was holy scripture, were vocal about the inclusion of Chaplains who preached the Imperial Creed amongst their ranks, and recently have been openly hostile against the inclusion of Primaris Space Marines. Their defiance at the decree had escalated to the point where Inquisitorial intervention would be necessary to sanctify the matter, however, Prince Raphael Carion agreed to go through the procedures before any actions could take place. Most of his Astartes followed suit out of solidarity with their Prince who had led them so far. The only Astartes who had refused the transformation into Primaris is the Chapter’s Champion, Jidaar Ecaz.

The Palantine Blades heraldry consist of two platinum blades - Charnable Sabers - on a amethyst field. However, iconography of their past can still be found within their Fortress Monastary and tattooed onto the Astartes themselves. This has drawn the Eire and superstition of other Chapters, such as the Iron Hands, however those who have fought at their sides state that there are no more loyal a Chapter than the Palatine Blades.

Th-that doesn't count because it's not progressive enough

>>53604369
Only models in range and LoS can shoot, but wounds can be allocated to anything.
>>
>>53604369
I would say in Scenario 1, only red 5 can fire and any blue model can die (blue player's choice).

Scenario 2: Only red 1 can fire and any blue model can die (blue player's choice).

>>53604338

Honestly, a better setup is for Guilliman to realize that he's only out for himself on that count. A fantastic but otherwise expendable resource to keep the Emperor alive.

Your creator sees you as but a resource, but you're still too little in his blasted hellscape. You need help. But who can you trust in this suspicious and treacherous era but your own blood? But the Emperor isn't your only blood, you have brothers who have not fallen to madness, is it possible that they might be found, or revived? After all, you died too, didn't you?

The problem is that with only room for 10 power armored dude that have to arrive 9" away (something actually made harder by the bulk of the pod), there's nothing you can bring that's really worth the tax just to deep strike.

That's exactly why they'd be wiped out. The Tau are still scheduled for genocide but the Imperium pretends they're too busy to do it because they know they can't beat them in open war.

Shootas get you more wounds from shots. Sluggas get you more wounds from melee.

Statistically, Sluggas get you more wounds overall, but you have to make it to melee with as many surviving overwatch.

That is irrelevant to the irrelevant argument of using a Lascannon to give your bolters a 48" range.

Guys. You know when you read FAQ's and it has utter bullshit questions, which are CLEARLY FUCKING STATED in the book, but people obviously asked a fucking enough for GW to actually write a fucking FAQ about it?

I thought it was a meme. I thought it was literally GW just filling pages or possibly a cordinated trolling attempt.

But I was wrong. I'm reading this thread and I'm seeing people say shit which is outright wrong and is outright possible to see it's wrong by FUCKING READING. I don't even have the book yet examples are being posted WITH pictures and people are still not doing it.

This is who we play with. These are the fucks.
>>
>>53604494
I fear that the scything talon thing is going to get FAQ'd very quickly. I don't think it was intended. I'll be running them as +1 attack and if the FAQ says otherwise I can be pleasantly surprised instead of feeling like I just got nerfed out the gate.
>>
Kinda want to test out my culexus to see just how far he can go as a one man army, what's something I can set up to test his limits? Only real idea so far is to have a shit ton of urban terrain and stuff so I can have him running around assassinating people.

Yeah, I have to agree with that as well. I'll probably use them as +1 attack and play dumb until another Tyranid player tries to do it and no one complains.

>>53604437
this >>53604489

What you should complain about is there's no reason not to put your sarge and plasma gunner up front so they can shoot their dakkajizz sooner and never have to worry about them biting it.

>>53604517
>I thought it was a meme

>>53604510
Fair, but shooting is still done model to unit, not unit to unit.
>>
>>53604552
why would you complain about that? It's how shooting has worked in basically every edition of 40k
>>
>>53604572

That is correct - upon a re-reading I realized my mistake regarding the LoS portion.
>>
>>53604572
So to be CLEAR, we've jsut agreed that a model in back of the shooting unit, being 25" away cannot shoot the target unit even though other models in the shooting unit are within range, correct? Because that's how I read it.

So how do dedicated transports work exactly? From the detachments it reads 1 for every other choice. That makes it sound like to get a transport, I have to take 2 things first. So if I want to make a veteran army for the guard, so I have take 2 veteran squads for every 1 that gets a transport? Or can I just give them a Chimera every time I pick one.
>>
>>53604552
Why would that be bad?
>>
>>53604604

But why the meme image again? Can't we try something else for once?
>>
>>53604600
That's right. LoS and range matters for the shooter, but not for the defender.
>>
>>53604569
Oh I was around for that. I started 40k in 97. Played with my mate. Chaos vs Chaos. He was an idiot. So I never bothered playing with him again.
>>
>>53604537
What are you replacing the second pair of scything talons with that doesn't cost any points? There are no 0 point options for that.

Also the bone mace gives you -1 attack with the talons, it's better to pay for a 94 point pt fex with 5 talon attacks and the option to use the thresher against GEQ where it slightly outperforms, than to pay 5 points less for a weaker fex all around. Only use the bone mace on dakkafexes that you aren't intended to get into close combat.
>>
>>53604607
It means 1 for every choice other than a dedicated transport

Other is referring to type, not alternating
>>
>>53604607
For each non-dedicated choice you get to take a transport.
>>
>>53604491
Mauls. They're approximately equal, and the aesthetics of a maul just work better with the Death Guard.

First game in 8th (and in general after a long hiatus in 5th)

I don't care Carnifexes are shit, i like them
>>
>>53604652
Warriors and Trygons are both much better. So are Warriors equivalents (Shrikes and Raveners). A lot of shitty Tyranid stuff is good now, it's hard to pick a clear most improved.
>>
>>53604665
Pretty much just stuck with stormravens now.
>>
>>53604696
They're not shit, they're just different and it's weird. Carnifexes have always just eaten vehicles and now they are pretty meh against them. Now they are more just solid S6 high rend monsters that go up the field and threaten pretty much everything without specializing on one unit type.
>>
>>53604586
Because putting special weapons up front was a risk in 7e. One of the good bits of 7e IMO.Since closest model took the hits then, having your melta or flamer in front, to maximize infantry rape, meant you might get fucked over. Conversely, you could mitigate imminent infantry rape by targeting said flamer first. Now you need to wipe a squad to avoid that. There used to be more consideration in arranging squads, and while I like simplified rules, simplifying the tactical considerations is a bad thing.
>>
>>53604517
I've played several dozens of different board games, card games and miniature games, and GW's rules syntax and structure is among the worst I've seen.
"Rules as intended" is fucking unheard of in other games and it shouldn't be necessary for people to have to interpret what the writers probably meant just to play the god damn game. Either you write solid rules in the first place or you frequently print FAQs, GW does neither.
>>
>>53604720

I think at this point i'm converting entirely to Horus Heresy. It will suck as I have a bunch of Death Company, but I'd rather play something that feels like my army than.... objectively worse Marines in another edition that still favors shooting.
>>
>>53604617
Because convolution is bad. That's why 7e was bad. But more tactical complexity is good. This is a strategy game, and the most strategic mind should be engaged and rewarded.
>>
>>53604720
Which are very good now. I had a game against one the other day with Tyranids, and the Stormraven ended the game with most of its wounds and killed most of my monstrous creatures by itself. The fact that you can't tie it up means if you don't have dedicated, good vehicle shooting, you can't really deal with it.
>>
>>53604747

You never fucking did this though - assuming you were good. You still tucked them in and closed ranged factoring in their bubble wrap. I guess you did it with flamers but most flamers were garbage so yeah.
>>
>>53604790
Oh I don't doubt that, but it's an expensive taxi if you're dreadnought heavy.
>>
>>53604758
Mate, the FAQ is filled with such wonderful question as "Can I use Yarrick in an Temptus Scion army?". It's fucking retarded, mate.
>>
>>53604762
This edition does not favor shooting, at least not nearly as much as 7th edition did.

Blood Angels are very good right now; good powers, good HQ, great tanks, and some of the best imperium close combat units. Assault marines and Death Company have gotten crazy good with pistols and close combat weapons being cheaper.
>>
>>53604747
How long it takes to chomp through squads is rough in this edition especially with how weak template weapons are. Making them have to hit is rough, especially for armies with lower BS. You can end up with only 1-3 wounds with something like a Basilisk way too often. I do kind of miss that about 7th too, because even if you couldn't wipe the squad you could reduce its firepower. Now I can see why they got rid of combined squads with Guard. No more 5th edition where you had 5 power weapon sergeants and a Commissar with a power weapon that essentially mounted up to being a 45 wound monster of combat.
>>
>>53604812
But that's still a step removed. Bubble wrap was a pretty important consideration until some Deathwing faggot rolled up on you with a Plasma/Assault Cannon. I just want players to bew rewarded for thinking strategically and punish sloppy players.

Unless you say
>Brother Faggotus was killed
>Brother Feggotus grabbed his melta and took his place in the formation.
>>
>>53604905
Bubble wrapping is still important for handling close combat considering how much easier it is to get charged.

I do with cover from other units was still in the game though, but I suppose it did cause plenty of problems.
>>
>>53604896
My issue with it is if you're up against or fielding a tank hunter squad, that dick with the Lascannon will never die until his owner has to kill him. So you can't capitalize on/be hurt by massed fire to kill bubble wrap.
>>
>>53604826
Well, there's "please clear up this vague part for me" and then there's "I'm 12 years old and can't be bothered to read, just tell me how it works". GW seemingly picks at random which questions to answer, which is more their own fault than the stupidity of said 12 year old.
>>
>>53604955
Exactly. It just takes so long to get through them. The only reliable way to hinder anti-tank squads now is to tie them up in close combat.

Also it makes it so you can't kill a squad to a point where their charge range is extended. Melee armies get up in the grill fast.
>>
>>53604954
You're right considering how important CC is in 8e.

And yes to the second point, absolutely.
>>
>>53603699
Hordes are really tough to kill this edition. Also Guard infantry and heavy weapons got way cheaper and so did their big artillery tanks. Everyone else has less stuff but Guard will have more than ever.
>>
>>53604149
Your company vets cannot have all 5 plasma guns. The Sarge can take a combi weapon and take from the pistol and melee list, but not from the special list. Effectively you can kit these guys out like sternguard who don't have options for their fancy weapons.
>>
So...how is this 8th, for those who tried it?

Imso happyabout nids, finally fexes, who are my fav unit, are playable again.

Too bad i had to cut the double schyte on mine to convert some shitty double lurker becaus eit was the only playable kit.

Guess i either have to find a couple more of talons or buy new carnifexes.

You never have enough 'fex.
>>
Do you still get one additional for charging in 8e?
>>
>>53605040
Melee is really good so far. Hordes are really hard to kill.
>>53605081
No. But some weapons give you a bonus attack in close combat like a chainsword or an oil choppa.
>>
>>53605024
Damn, didn't realize. Time to get another leff handed plasma pistol and double pistol him out.
>>
>>53605097
Ork choppa. Phone corrected me sorry. >>53605081

As a Nid player, and seeing how everything is more survivable now, do you think DISTRACTIONs will be seen fairly often now? I miss DISTRACTION CARNIFEX.

>>53605154
In 6th and 7th it wasnt even a distraction anymore.
So sad.

Im glad its useful again.
Haven't checked the leaks but a friend of mine told me about a Foc of only heavies.

So I can literally field a n entire army of fexes?

That would be a fucking dream.
>>
>>53605197
This is true. You won't get many CP out of it, but yes. You could field a fex kill team (not like a 150pts Kill Team, but like a small army of elite dudes).
>>
>>53605197
Yes it's 1 HQ and 3 Heavy Support as the minimum. You get 3 bonus Heavy Support slots and other stuff too like 0-2 troops and shit like that.
>>
>>53605197
You can, but it wouldn't be very good. You really need a good mix of synergistic units this edition.

I bought one since CC seems pretty gud now.

It looks like a jack-of-all-trades in cc. Ravenous maw can generate a lot of extra attacks in cc, while d3 damage on everything means he can easily eat elites for breakfast. d6 damage on shovelling is also pretty nice against vehicles.
If only his ws was better and/or he had more attacks...

Dunno if you know, but mortal wounds are unmissable, unsaveable wounds. So if your haruspex rolls 6 on death, all marines, chad or otherwise, within 3" dies.

It's only 3 wounds per unit.

I think the best use for him would put him in a capsule, launch him on a charge with some gaunt screen on the nearest obj, then laugh as he camps the obj for the whole game with no chance for him to die.

Literally, he can regain so many wounds per turn.
>>
>>53605458
It mostly seems designed to deal with things like terminators, that can put wounds on it, but not reliably enough to outpace its regen.
>>
>>53605458
>>53605474
Actually I retract that, he doesn't have the AP for dealing with terminators.

>>53605511
How is 2 AP -3 weapons not enough AP?

>>53605585
Only 5 attacks at 4+ to hit.

I'm already doing it with all of my tactical squads. The Dark Vengeance Sergeants are pretty easy to gut the chainsword off of.

Yeah but anything else would do the job better. Haruspex wants to be using its maw rather than its claws.

So what's the consensus on Slugga-Choppa vs Shoota boyz come 8e? I tried a brick of 20 sluggachoppa boyz today and while they did well I still think the shoota variants can pile on more pain than the sluggachoppa boyz can.

People get salty when someone so much as hints that their chapter is descendant from a Traitor Legion, and it's a theme that is astonishingly hard to pull off well, and it requires a great deal of subtlety.

This, on the other hand, has beaten subtlety to death with the pommels of those charnabal sabres. The part about Chemos, the colour scheme, the name, and so on are so blatantly obvious that even in a place as fucked as the Imperium, they'd notice it straight away and rev up those purges.

Even assuming a desperate Imperium would try to use traitor geneseed in the new founding, they'd go to extreme lengths to hide the chapter's identity. The Death Eagles are EC descendants, and they don't resemble their parent legion at all. The Red Scorpions are also implied to be EC, and their only similarity is a huge hard-on for purity.

tl;dr git subtle
>>
If a weapon has AP-4 and opponent has 3+ save then if I sucessfully wounding him, does he just die or can still do a 6+ save ?

Why? Claws seem made for termies.

>>53605690
GW has said that if they want to balance something in the future, they're going to first adjust the points value of something. It's why points are on a separate page from the statblock, so that they can just update it for balance.
>>
>>53605934
Yeah, but Tyranids don't seem ridiculously OP, they just seem good. Yeah they are kill in CC, but all of their guns suck.
>>
>>53605883
Well a 3+ save, against AP -4 is 7+ so unless the model's in cover, or has some other modifier, that's an unsaveable wound. Rolls can go higher than 6+, they just can't go lower than 2+. Because 1's are fails no matter what. If you have 2+ to hit and then +1 hit for some reason, it doens't matter.
>>
>>53605883
They just die. A 6+ is not always a success.

I mean in general, it wants to be getting use out of the maw, so it can generate extra attacks and regen wounds. If you want to kill termies use a trygon or carnifex, which is far far cheaper and has more accurate attacks at the same AP.

Ah, right.

FUCKING WAACNIGGERS STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY ARMY

Biggest problem is the exocrine is just flat better than a haruspex at just about everything it wants to do.

Go to hell, each and every single one of you.

The answer is to go even blobbier, anon. Are you ready for 400 conscripts and 4 commissars

>>53606024
why are faggots like you afraid of winning

So today I played my first 8th ed game GK vs Death Guard. I was playing DG

Some observations
> Rhinos are more robust but still die at roughly the same rate as 7th
> Assault is BRUTAL especially if you get mass assaulted
> FnP is useless now that you roll it per dmg
> Typhus is actually pretty baller
> Daemon princes with double talons are excellent
> Warptime is as good as you'd think it is
> The to wound changes are arbitrary and didn't speed up the game but generally nerfed high T units
> Meltas are infinitely better then Plasma guns

>People get salty when someone so much as hints that their chapter is descendant from a Traitor Legion, and it's a theme that is astonishingly hard to pull off well, and it requires a great deal of subtlety.

This is why I need for there to be more drip-fed hints that the Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons descendants. (But also need Dawn of War games to not be incredibly boring.)

Hang on, if I'm understanding the rules right here, the Ravenous maw makes D3 hits per attack allocated to it, and then for each hit, you then roll D3 damage?

So if you get perfect rolls, you can turn 4 attacks into twelve hits, dealing 36 damage to one model. I'm okay with #New40k.

>>53606729
You make 4D3 attacks, then roll to wound, then each of those deals D3 damage. The chances of doing max damage are incredibly small.
>>
>>53606729
Can't even kill a Stompa, literally unplayable.

>mold lines

You aren't finished yet boy-o
>>
>>53606902
Don't forget you also roll to hit and haruspex only has a 4+ to hit
>>
>>53606950
I was implying that, but sure.
>>
>>53603770
gorkanauts look like monsters in cc with the new changes from armor to wounds. I'm probably going to run a couple with my boyz
>>
>>53607282
I'm thinking this too. Stick a big mek with KFF in each one for a 5+ invul and d3 damage healed per turn.
>>
>>53605942
They made a similar thing with aos general's handbook, after releasing it they watched tournament results and listened to feedback and a couple month after they had a faq with experimental point changes for tournaments to test that buffed some underplayed units and nerfed some dominating units
