Excel-anon here, did a bit more work on the Tau data-calculations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h0hk_IdJ7fivDEjMiIpKM5yMMB8HTm64lZHuKdLZCIU/edit?usp=sharing

I revamped the Crisis/Commander section, and have added sections for Riptide, Broadside, and Hammerhead.

I'm a bit concerned by the Commander vs Crisis numbers. 30pts to for +2 BS and an extra hardpoint is just too good. Commanders are more efficient essentially across the board in terms of raw wounds-per-point. They have the downside of being a single target so large-wound weapons can potentially do more damage, but they can also hide. I think GW may have went a bit overboard on how expensive Crisis bodies are this edition.

The only way to determine is to "stoop down and get a look from behind the shooting model to see if any part of the target is visible" so no, infantry can't shoot units they're not facing.

I think I'm leaving the commander/crisis suit-section at that for now. I'll probably add stats for Vespids, Stealth Suits and Ghostkeels, then move onto the Blood Angels like requested in one of the earlier threads.

>>53685543

The supposed rumor is Rowboat made/is going to make a pact with Khorne in 8e to help deal with Orks currently stompin' around on Armageddon/Armageddon sector. And since there's already a Blood Crusade headed that way (plus the fact the Orks are getting bigger and harder to kill on Armageddon right now), it's certainly plausible.

Only problem I have with the rumor is that Blood Crusade's almost certainly led by Angron himself (he's still sore after losing the first Armageddon War after all), and last I checked, he HATES Guilliman more than he does a bunch of damn xenos.

>>53685614
Dubs will release the primarch 4 Gods first, and in turn 4 Primarch of the big 4 Chapters.

>>53685680

But Armageddon is already a half-daemon world with Khorne vs Tzeentch. Angron being summoned was even foiled.

... Did I miss a new piece of lore or something?

Last I checked Armageddon s still in the middle of the 3rd Armaggedon War (now 3.5 with the return of the Khorne guys).

When (and why, for the matter) the hell did Tzeentch show up? Last I checked the only god entities that really gave a shit about Armageddon/Ullanor were the four 'war gods' (Emps, Gork, Mork, Khorne).

Don't leave hardpoints empty on your crisis and commander (max 3 on crisis, 4 on commander). Their bodies are very expensive, and it's very cost-effective to load up a smaller number of suits.

It'd be Omegon at best. Dorn crushed Alpharius' head so hard Omegon could feel it halfway across the galaxy.

Now that 8th is set 100 years after the "present," how are they going to explain how some of the Tau and Guard characters are still around, or why the surviving Orks characters haven't reached Primork levels from a century of straight WAAAAGH or how the tyranids haven't developed anything new?

They won't. They'll treat the timeskip the same way they did Age of Sigmar's. new characters will come out, new kits will be made, but old generic models will still have a use. Old character models will exist only as legacy options.

This excludes certain options that are some breed of immortal, like Archaon in AoS. They'll still exist in the plot, and may even get updated models ($40 for one model, I'm sure) you can pick up.

T'au characters went through the warp rift as part of the 4th Sphere Expansion, time got all fucky for them.

Humans have plenty of technological ways to slow and counter aging, so Guard don't need to worry too much probably. Either that or they'll start squatting a bunch of the characters with the new Codex.

It takes longer than a century for Orks to hit Primork tier.

Tyranids will have a whole new posterboy Hive Fleet with their next Codex instead of Leviathan, and it will absolutely have new developments.

Question: the fliers rules typically say that you can pivot up to 90 degrees when you move, and if fliers go off the board or cannot complete their minimum movement the unit is killed. However, now that anything can charge and turning the model doesn't take movement, can you use a charge as an opportunity to pivot a flier so that it can effectively turn more than 90 degrees each turn?

As a word of advice, a lot of people won't comment on your list because it's hard, at first glance, to understand a list's inner workings. And if you don't understand how it's supposed to play, why comment on it? People just don't want to put that much work in, especially if that's not their faction.

I, for instance, don't touch Guard. I have no clue if your list is good or not. I do, however, have a necron list I'm looking for advice on. Look at my list, and try to figure out if and how your list would beat mine, given the chance to go first.

Exactly, there is functionally no difference between front and back of a model currently. So long as there is no obstruction between one model or another it's considered visible.

Does it make sense? Probably not, but unless there is something in the rules explicitly stating a model behind another model is not in LoS then it only needs to be somewhere that it can be seen by the model. Again, infantry can look behind them and tanks have viewports so anything that can be seen by the model is visible.

Theoretically they can infect marines but it will never amount to anything, Marines are regularly given super in-depth medical check-ups and psychic screening by the Apothecaries and Librarians, and I believe they have ways (probably very time-consuming, expensive, and painful, and would kill a regular human) to cleanse the infection. Also since Space Marines cannot reproduce it would never bare hybrid fruit anyways.

Aeldari are very rarely infected for similar reasons.

Just the first two seem like mistakes.

Celestine has acess to the healing act, and thats just normal wound allocation. Plus she still has intervention. The 7th ed. unkillable Celestine was probably a bad idea.

Faction based abilities are often pretty restrictive. Seems normal.

Isnt one of the Penitent engine pilots a dude? I think they were technically ministorum back in Witch Hunters.

Crusaders with Acts is fluffy, so whatever. AM grabs their priests from the same entry, so makes sense why they'd leave it off to me.

Models are just representations and not physical entities in current 40k. In very early editions, infantry had a 90 degree cone of vision in front of them (front meaning where their guns were pointed, iirc, or maybe it was their eyes. I forget.). This is no longer the case as they assumed infantry was mobile enough to look and turn freely in response to things, and now with 8th they carried that over to vehicles as well, making the entire game a representation - markers of where units are, not units themselves.

>ZERO evidence for it.
First wave of Nids on Octaria were wiped out as per lore in Waaagh! Ghazzy supplement (Leviathan threw several more tendrils at it afterwards). Swarmy was on the planet in the first wave as stated in 5e Nid codex.

Celestine is arguably harder to kill now though, due to the automatic optional self heal. In fact if you heal all of her wounds you can start allocating them to her bodyguards instead again, which is just weird.

And I just think it's poor design to have a faction where only 2/3rds of them actually interact with or benefit from their faction's leader auras and faction abilities. It's arbitrary as fuck. Just make them two different factions who can ally instead, since that's what they're doing. Except that takes away SoB's only walker since they changed it's identity.

the idea is like other anon said, its a representation of where it is not the unit itself so if it was 100% realistic the vehicle would pop out of cover, shoot and go back into cover and the 50% bonus comes from whether they were able to hit the vehicle when it popped out or whatever.

>Just make them two different factions who can ally instead
That's literally what's going on. All Imperium units can ally even within the same detachments because they share a keyword. Inquisitors are drawing their retinue from the same AM that guard is taking their priests from. The big thing is that SoB are a subfaction of the AM, so they are included with it, but since only sororitas train with canonesses, sororitas benefit from them. This is also true with succubi and cults, Apothecaries with marines, etc.

Person, I think the greatest crime are the units that specify they only benefit their own chosen Order, Chapter, Regiment, etc. Why isn't the OML Canoness inspiring the beleaguered BR sisters they came to relieve? Why aren't Scrubworld #8505 guardsmen listening to the much admired and universally respected Castellan motherfucking Creed? Why aren't other wych cults or kabalites working with THE Lelith Hesperex jizzing their pants every time they realize they're in close and killing the same guy with her? Why does only the Cult of Strife get self-creaming privileges including that Voidraven that didn't even really see her because he's going supersonic speeds?

That's my criticism. For Lelith especially, Strive is the only named cult anyways so there's is zero (0) reason to name another cult anyways, even if you're fluffing otherwise. To me, it's a really baffling and self-defeating restriction on the "creative hobby" part of 40k.

And IG's "Mixed Regiment" army idea is really freaking butchered by it.

So I have the Dark Vengeance starter set along with a Khorne Berserkers squad, Kharn and a Space Marines Dreadnought that I painted in Dark Angel colors, and I'm unsure on which of these two factions to focus on for 8th edition. Keep in mind that I've only played one game and I don't really care which one is the most powerful in 8th, I just want one that I'll enjoy the look of.

Chaos Space Marines
Pros
>already have Kharn and a box of Khorne Berserkers, so I've already invested some extra $$$ in them
>I fucking love Kharn and the way he looks
>the Soulgrinder and Defilers look fucking amazing and the Defiler is the sole reason that brought me into the universe from the Warhammer40k Dawn of War Dark Crusade days
>the terminator lord's cadre is up there with the next box I want to buy, because Chaos termies look sweet
>the summoning mechanic looks pretty neat

Cons:
>they're the first faction I started to paint, and needless to say a good amount of them look like garbage, especially the Helbrute and Khorne Berserkers

Dark Angels
Pros
>the faction I started to paint after I was done with Chaos, so they look much better by far
>I have a massive hardon for characters wielding 1H weapons and shields, and Deathwing Knights scratch that itch something fierce
>I already have a SM Dreadnought for the army in addition to the stuff from the DA set
>the Dark Angels Interrogator-Chaplain is IMO one of the best looking small scaled humanoid character, both in looks and pose
>I can incorporate AdMech into the army, which is another faction I really like

Cons
>don't own any HQ characters
>no large scale miniatures that look fun that I know of, outside of transports or ships (unlike CSM)

What should I do?

Say they introduce something like the old guard regiments system. You can pick one of the regiments of reknown with a set of fixed bonuses and some characters, or instead design your own and mix and match whichever bonuses you like. Suddenly a custom tag could make sense.

>Her green-eyed detractors among the rival Wych Cults whisper that Lelith’s incredible skill is from an unnatural source – that she has somehow persuaded the Haemonculi to replace her blood with hyperdrenaline, that as a child she suckled upon a steroid-syringe, that she sleeps in a baryonic sarcophagus filled to the brim with stimulant serum. The truth is far simpler – Lelith is a born predator, preferring to look her prey in the eye at the moment of death. The use of combat drugs is for the weak, for they corrupt the instant where the killing strike hits home and the lifeblood flows out. How can one properly appreciate the delicate nuances of a victim’s dying breath when one’s senses are polluted by intoxicants? To forsake chemical enhancement is usually suicidal in the lightning-fast world of the arena, yet such is Lelith’s skill that her pristine flesh remains unscarred. Though her rivals would never accept such a straightforward explanation, Lelith Hesperax is simply that good.

So let me get this straight:
Chaos is ACTIVELY trying to drag the largest race in the galaxy, who view killing daemons as 'keeping them from getting bored during Warp Travel' into the Warp with you?

I'd say to do disembarking since disembarking specficially says it has to be at the start of the movement phase.

however i'd say vanguard moves and fall backs could have the infantry fall back into a transport because nothing in the embark rules says this isn't allowed. all they have to do is end their move within 3"


is that the correct interpretation?

A vanguard move is a move and it can potentially end your unit with 3" of a friendly transport
A fall back is a move and it can potentially end with your unit within 3" of a friendly transport.

they're both specifically allowed as far as i can tell.

and fall back for
>Units starting the movement phase within 1" of an enemy unit can either remain stationary or fall back. if you choose to fall back, the unit must end it move more than 1" away from all enemy units. If a unit falls back, it cannot advance, or charge later that turn, A unit that falls back also cannot shoot later that turn unless it can fly.

and after reading all that again it seems like you can even advance into a transport.

In truth, Stormlord is my favorite BB variant, and I've been up to all sorts of bullshit shennigans with it. I have zero regrets. Shadowsword, however, has always been my second favorite and my next intended super-heavy purchase.

In 7th, I picked up like 20 jokaero just for the quirky "monkeys in a box" strategy and loved the shit out of it. In 8th, we lost the All Power To Weapons! rule, and only guardsmen or inquisitors/acolytes can go in it now, but the new heavy weapon rule means I can still shove heavies in there without "really" worrying about moving, and it sounds like an excellent platform for 18 mortars. I'll probably also use it to drive into melee and unload ogryn or something fun for other games.

The thing is literally a fortress on wheels that holds 40 men and lets 20 of them shoot out of it at once. You will literally never go wrong with it.

Vanguard
>At the start of the first battle round but before the first turn begins, you can move this unit up to 7". it cannot end this move within 9" of an enemy model. if both players have units that can do this, the player who is taking the first turn moves their units first.

I say they can't disembark because disembark specifically states movement phase and this happens before the first turn. However since they end their move within distance of a transport why couldn't they embark it?
>>

Literally all they had to do was not include the last sentence. Substitute <Official Chapter Name with Named Heroes and Special Rules> with <your homebrew/official successor without rules of choice> and that would be that, works just like old editions.

Funny, last I checked only two major worlds (Orrok and Ghorala) have been licked clean.

Fall back seems 100% okay for embarking. As for the vanguard the fact that it happens before the game makes it a little weird. I think you could be right. You do "move" the unit. But I could also see GW saying that since its not a normal movement phase move its not "their move" as required by the embarking rules.

Welcome to how Admech felt the entirety of last edition, only to have the mechanics replaced with armywide one-use Guard Orders instead. Hell, with everyone getting Canticles we might have actually used the higher levels, but now we've lost our laser-guided BS7 everything, which makes me sad. They could have made the shooty buff just +1 BS, then it wouldn't overlap massively with all our leader buffs, but whatever.

You can already have Abbadon fighting himself in any edition. At least in the days of old they encouraged people to rename and refluff named characters to fit their custom armies if they wanted. The galaxy is a very, very big place and they always acknowledged that they were showing people only a small fragment of it. There can be another cool ogryn that loyally defends his commander that isn't just Nork. Another Company Commander is really efficient at leading troops than just Creed. Another succubus is excellent in a straight duel than just Lelith.

They bring unique rules and there is no reason someone can't fluff a unique, personalized character that also embodied those rules. This was a given in prior days, as seen in the pic of >>53686792.

Anyway, onto brass tax. The points end up being similar:
>Raven 169
>Void Lance or Scythe 0
>Missiles 25
194 total

>Razorwing 115
>Missiles 0
>Disintegrator Cannon 30
>Dark Lance 25
>Twin Rifle 0
>Splinter Cannon 15

>D-Cannons and Splinter Cannon
190
>Dark Lances and Splinter Cannon
180

The damage potential on on the Razorwing is more spread out over infantry. Dizzys put the hurt down on terminators and the Lances don't really fit into the rest of the kit because it also has the necro toxin missiles. However, splitfire is a thing now.

The Void Raven really excels at killing hard targets thanks to the void lance, which is also our only shooting attack that is better than S8. Yes, we have poison, but we can't poison T8 vehicles. However even with the scythe and the missiles, it doesn't kill massed infantry as well as the Razorwing.

so Germany said to Austria-Hungary if you wanna bantz with Serbia and Russia says Austria-Hungary no bantering i'll be there to banter with you mate.
So the Austro-Hungarians threw some sick bantz and Serbia and the Russians Started mobilizing their banter reserves. The Germans asked to keep the Russian Banter the fuck away from their mutual border but the Russians said no and Germany started to banter them in return.
The Germans then asked the Belgians if they could sneak some bantz through their country but Belgians said their neutrality specifically mentioned no banter. So the germans declared banter upon Belgium (they had a pretty devastating 15 days routine on the non country thing) and also on France because they were certain those guys where revving up some banter to help out their boy boris.

But sure, OP Chaos gave up it's best chance to attack the Imperium when it was at it's weakest in ages so that they can instead attack the Imperium after it's already sorted out the worst of the damage and is digging in.

... So yeah they're building up their resources by having their renegades prey on the virtually defenseless planets. Abbadon basically just failed to keep the renegades he didn't want to go out and plunder from going our and plundering.

>Many warbands of Traitor Legionaries and renegades, some in direct disregard of the Despoiler’s orders,

Literally made up on the spot, but nice try.

>not all
Yet MANY is not "a few khornates", especially since the following line is
>This has left huge numbers of Imperial defenders deployed around Cadia awaiting a coordinated Chaos second wave that may never come.
>coordinated Chaos second wave that may never come.

Even Abaddon isn't going to go "Alright, we've got the largest Chaos fleet seen in 10k years, we've blown up Cadia, so let's just sit here while the Imperium is in disarray so we can raid a few planets".

The Chaos primarchs are all interested in doing their own thing, they couldn't give a shit about Abbaddon is doing.
>>
>>53687899
>Many warbands of Traitor Legionaries and renegades, some in direct disregard of the Despoiler’s orders,

Many implies that Abaddon ordered them to go out and pillage. "Some" combined with "in direct disregard of the despoilers orders" implies that only a few who were ordered to stay left after he commanded otherwise. The majority are following addadon's orders.


Sorry green sperg, there is no way for you to twist that otherwise. Chaos is pooling resources by spreading terror on certain planets to give them warp powers via sacrafice , violence, and other such tribute. Why the fuck would they , after losing so many forces on Cadia, just invade the whole defended imperium instead of just divide and conquer slowly while building up a main force? Dum ork poster is dumb
>>
Just discovered something. You can drop a Tervigon in a Tyrannocyte at 9.1" from the enemy, spawn Termagants within 6" of it (no restriction on needing to be any distance from the enemy except over 1" away) within 3.1" of the opponent and have another guaranteed turn 1 charge on top of the usual Swarmlord Slingshot.

>Many implies that Abaddon ordered them to go out and pillage. "Some" combined with "in direct disregard of the despoilers orders" implies that only a few who were ordered to stay left after he commanded otherwise. The majority are following addadon's orders.

It never once states that Abaddon ordered anyone to go out and pillage, and "some in direct disregard to the despoilers orders" can easily imply that some or many left before he had to start ordering them to hold their position.

>Chaos is a massively OP force and GW loves us!
>They lost too many forces at Cadia to continue invading!
Pick one

> just divide and conquer slowly
So divided like, I dunno, literally split in half by a giant warp storm and besieged from all sides?
>>
>>53687953

Yeah those 10 termagants might tie that one unit up for a whole turn. And you only spent 430 points to do so. And now they have a tervigon and a tyrannocyte next to them. Those 3 cc attacks and 5 deathspitters at bs5+ sure are gonna do some work.

>It never once states that Abaddon ordered anyone to go out and pillage, and "some in direct disregard to the despoilers orders" can easily imply that some or many left before he had to start ordering them to hold their position.

It indirectly states that Abaddon ordered the renegade chaos forces to pillage the galaxy and that some just went with or without orders otherwise.

Many warbands of Traitor Legionaries and renegades, some in direct disregard of the Despoiler’s orders, used the opportunity to bypass the defenders of the Gate entirely and launch their attacks on more vulnerable worlds elsewhere in the galaxy

The remove "some ..."

Many warbands of Traitor Legionaries and renegades used the opportunity to bypass the defenders of the Gate entirely and launch their attacks on more vulnerable worlds elsewhere in the galaxy

What

>some in direct disregard of the Despoiler’s orders,

implies as an aside is that of the many war bands, only a few of those ordered to stay ended up leaving anyways.

>Pick one

The latter. Chaos couldn't conquer the inperium when they had half of all primarchs and 4 chaos gods, now, even with their superior numbers they realize not to under estimate the imperium.

>So just like...

Yeah basically. Like I said before they realize it's going to be harder to wipe out the imperium and let alone everything else in the galaxy afterwards.
>>
>>53687990
>And you only spent 430 points to do so
No, you spent 430 points to have a Tervigon already in your opponent's face, buffing the 30 gaunts you brought in with the Trygon, providing frontline synapse, potentially also getting a charge off and destroying shit with its massive scytals, casting Catalyst on the Trygon or Horror on a big enemy blob.

You can be making 5 separate charges and tying up every single thing in the opponent's frontline turn 1 so they all have to Fall Back at once next turn and fail to shoot while the rest of the army moves up the board. You realize units can multi-charge now, right? Those 10 termagants alone could fuck with 2 or 3 units. If you wrap around a transport with pile-in and consolidate moves you can stop the occupants disembarking next turn. If your opponent deployed the sort of gunline list that wants to sit back as far as possible to get more time to shoot before you're in close combat, he might not even be able to retreat - on the other hand, if he deploys forward to avoid that problem, the stuff that started in your deployment zone will have an easier time getting into combat turn 2, and you can shoot some biovores at him and hope for misses so some well-placed spore mines will block his retreat as well.
>>
>>53688061

Tervigons aren't really that great. I don't think it's worth it just to get T1 charge. T2 charge with more efficient units is probably better.
>>
>>53688037
>It indirectly states that Abaddon ordered the renegade chaos forces to pillage the galaxy and that some just went with or without orders otherwise.

It indirectly states fuck all, especially since the next paragraph states there's a fucking massive Imperial force sitting outside of the Cadian gate that is considering attempting to retake the area. Abaddon isn't going to send most of his forces out to pillage. The only thing implied is that once the gate fell many of the forces dispersed to do their own thing, including some forces Abaddon personally commanded to stay.

>Yeah basically. Like I said before they realize it's going to be harder to wipe out the imperium and let alone everything else in the galaxy afterwards.

Abaddon literally pulled an invasion of Ultramar out of his ass within weeks of Cadia falling and you're trying to tell me he doesn't have the forces to stage an invasion of an area that's supposed to be cut off from all outside help by a giant warpstorm.

Just admit GW is lazy and the only reason Cadia fell in a single book was because 8th edition was coming out this year and GW wanted to rush the narrative forward. It has nothing to do with Chaos being OP or favored.
>>
>>53688061
>Those 10 termagants alone could fuck with 2 or 3 units.
>he really thinks 10 fucking gants are going to tie up 2 or more squads for more than one round

Are you stupid? You also know every unit can disengage from melee now right. That is if they haven't already pulped your shit.
>>
>>53688094
What part of "if the opponent Falls Back they don't get to shoot" do you not understand, retard? They don't need to tie anything up, they literally just need to complete a charge and my opponent just lost his next shooting phase for whatever unit or units they reached, unless they're something with a special rule to ignore that in which case I obviously would not have charged them. Gaunts aren't supposed to survive.
>>
>>53688061
This is all assuming you're opponent sets up in such a way as to allow you to tie up all of his units from a single charge phase.
>>
>>53688093
>It indirectly states fuck all, especially since the next paragraph states there's a fucking massive Imperial force sitting outside of the Cadian gate that is considering attempting to retake the area. Abaddon isn't going to send most of his forces out to pillage.

Which is why there is still a central force left behind that is equal to the forces still within the Cadian sector. Even with the sheer size of the forces of chaos it still isn't enough. That will change soon though because the Imperium doesn't have enough resources to guard the eye of terror and prevent every chaos invasion. Stop being butthurt.

>Even more butthurt

Yes , feed me your tears. The reason why Cadia fell in 1 book is because GW is both lazy and couldn't be asked to make chaos seem extremely menacing over a trilogy. They are still going to fluff chaos into a galaxy wide apocalyptic event

Skyhammer was already a thing for years. And you know what the strongest part of that formation was? It wasn't the assaulting. It was the shooting. The Raven Guard formations also have first turn guaranteed assaults. Battle Company sees more play.

That should tell you something.

>>53688124
you can place the charging units literally anywhere far enough away. it's going to be easier said than done to get in the way of that.

So how do you think the Eldar vs. Admech game is going to go? I'm rooting for glorious robot empire of Mars, but I feel we're going to be chewed up given all their fucking shuriken weapons got the -1AP we were randomly denied. Do we know the lists yet? Probably going to miss the first bit of the game since I can't stream on the bus home, but I'm sure the edited highlights will be bitched about here.
Also I just noticed Kastelans are as fast as Infiltrators. I still prefer the shootystelans, but that would provide some pretty speedy S12 D3 robot fisting with what, 4A per bot?

>I'll just call him butthurt

Sorry chaosfag, you're getting a bunch of smaller events like the Mortarion invading Ultramar and at best Abaddon attempting to make a beeline for Terra.

One could literally just set up single squads in long lines and take advantage of terrain to prevent it. You charge the front line, tie up a couple of squads, only for them to fall back and you get shot to shit by the units behind them.

>>53688160
>Ignoring all the other points I made to turn the convo into a shit flinging contest

Sad!
>>
>>53688174
That's because all of your other points are you making shit up to back up your argument because you think GW favors Chaos.
>>
>>53688122
Also if by some chance my opponent fails to kill all 10 termagants I can restore them back up to full next turn for free.

>>53688124
It doesn't have to be all of them, just a few important ones. If he doesn't have chaff screens he's in trouble. If he's playing any kind of elite army where a single units worth of shooting lost for a phase is a blow, he's in trouble. If there's no good way for me to push my way in, I just drop onto a midfield objective, or I wait for turn 2 after his formation has dispersed a bit from fire and from him moving out to grab objectives. This is a nasty trick to pull on like a 5-man devastator squad sitting in the backfield, they won't kill 10 gaunts in one Fight phase and if they Fall Back they lose their shooting and I'll just charge them again. If he leaves a single flank unguarded, shit is getting in.

As usual, /tg/ is bad at thinking flexibly and you assume this strategy only does something if I 100% TIE UP EVERY ONE OF HIS UNITS ZOMG. The same fallacy as thinking a unit is either completely bonkers overpowered or totally garbage. You guys do not understand nuance.

>Making shit up

No I'm literally just using a quote you didn't understand yet still posted against you and you're just too mad to accept it. Lrn2 syntax.
>>
>abbadon
>has more men then horus had
>has deamons
>his troops don't even need to abey the laws of reality anymore
>the imperium is weak af since the heresy
>the imperium has the tyranids to deal with on top of everything else
>warpstorm rips the galaxy in half
>communications between all imperial worlds cut for a long while
>has 10 000 years
and still he can't even begin to scratch the surface of what horus achieved in a decade
why does he think horus was a failure again ?
>>
>>53688133
I'm not spending that many points to negate one turn of shooting, I'm spending that many point to negate that many turns of shooting and then have two monsters in my opponent's deployment zone, one of which is a psyker and buffs and respawns more of my shit.

>>53688144
Battle Company gives you hundreds of free points you fucking retard, and if you think Skyhammer would be just as good without the first turn charges it provided you are mistaken and have not watched a high level player bring a Skyhammer list to a tournament table.
>>
>>53688238
If skyhammer were taken for the assault then people would be playing RG formations
>>
>>53688227
Nah it's just a quote you're to biased to interpret properly. You can only accept the conclusion that the next Black Crusade is going to be some HH tier event while having nothing to back that claim up, so instead you pick apart throwaway fluff in an attempt to support that idea instead of just accepting that the forces of Chaos are fickle as they always have been and upon achieving a major victory they all dispersed to achieve their own objectives, costing Chaos the best chance it's had to strike a blow at the Imperium it's ever had.
>>
>>53688256
It was taken because it was both you simple-minded moron.

Turn one charge AND effective deep strike shooting + other benefits >>> turn one charge.

The turn one charge factor was still a fucking factor.

Remind me to just not post my tactics thoughts on /40kg/ anymore, you faggots can stay being bad at the game.

>>53688277

This dipshit's retarded Tervigon tactic will never become a top list in 8E, screencap this.

>>53688263
M8 I don't know what else to tell you

>Many warbands of Traitor Legionaries and renegades, some in direct disregard of the Despoiler’s orders, used the opportunity to bypass the defenders of the Gate entirely and launch their attacks on more vulnerable worlds elsewhere in the galaxy

Does not imply that Abbadon has no control over the forces of chaos, it implies the exact opposite that there are small bands who are disobeying his orders to stay while he renegades go out and pillage. Which also then implies that he is pooling his resources in the center of the eye of terror while he has raiders collect more psychic power and tributes.

Instead of debating me on the syntax you just go "nu uh STFU faggot", they should've just gone after the whole imperium because a priori chaos could take out the imperium at it's current state and not get it's shit pushed in by other forces in the galaxy like the nids

>Sergeant equipment
>Up to two weapons can be chosen from the followong list:

>One weapon can be chosen from the following list:

Can I take 2 weapons from the first list and 1 from the second? Can my sergeant get a Thunderhammer, a plasma-pistol and a combi-plasma at the same time? (Not saying it's a cost-effective choice, just wondering if it's possible)

>>53688300
Do you guys just refresh the catalog constantly? Why create a new general without linking to it in the old one?
>>
>>53686003
he's lying because he's salty about flyers
>>
>>53688485
As you see it's an ork op general.
We forgot to cleanse the catalog good and proper and it spawned anew from the spores left by the previous one.

My guess is that it's intended to stop someone from taking multiple detachments from different Successor Chapters, and then giving each of them a copy of the same character.
>>
>>53688790
They are already Unique, meaning you can't take multiples within the same army.
