A summary of Xenos:

Orks: You lose. A lot.

Tyranid: You lose. A lot. But you tend to give a better account of yourselves than Orks.

Necron: Actually you do pretty well for Xenos, you just don’t do much.

Craftworlds: You are either losing or you are only winning because you are playing sidekick to an Imperium hero who saves the day.

Dark Eldar: Again you don’t do much in the Fluff, you do okay when you do though.

Ynnari: You exist as a vehicle for the Imperium

Harlequin: You have almost no major military conflicts to your name

Tau: You do well, like the Necron, but are so tiny you’re repeatedly told it doesn’t matter, and practically the entire fanbase will spit on you and tell you you’re trash

Reposting from dead thread

So conscript spam genuinely seems to be game busting meta more cancerous than riptide-wings, and it's worse because you know for a fact that the shitters who wouldn't paint a couple of enjoyable to paint large models definitely won't paint 100-300 infantry. How could something that was immediately obvious within hours of the leaks escape notice of GW?
a. they genuinely don't care or are functionally retarded
b. the playtesting took place between people who wouldn't grief each other with broken tactics and only use fluffy lists (and ironically conscript spam is the fluffiest of fluffy lists)
c. it was deliberate to sell what is in real money a hugely overcosted model
If it was deliberate then the sale of the poorly sculpted guardsman that looked shot when it was released compared to its predecessor must have been the single underpinning aim of all GW's efforts. New GW indeed.

Could this cause enough butthurt to reverse all GW's fortunes? I think an element of retardation must come into it because most armies could have had a weapon tailored to deal with massive mobs like the deathstrike but which are now worthless.

>>
>>53733277

I think the playtesters just didn't like making horde armies for some reason, so GW kept buffing them.
Either that, or the playtesting was a lie, and GW just slapped these books together.

I'm hopeful that the codexes will fix this.
When 3rd edition first came out, guard were pretty broken too. (though not nearly to this extent).
It took 2 codex releases for them to finall balance guard. Though once they did, guard were in a really good place.
Effective without being OP, and had lots of fun options.

What is the point of Grav Chut if you can simply disembark.

>>53733309
How can they rebalance them with templates gone? As it stands they would have still been a formidable unit even if blasts hadn't been nerfed.
The attempts to 'balance' Eldar and Tau just buffed them and kept them on top for 8 years. The only thing they could do is make it so they can't interact with officers at all and that doesn't make any sense.
>>
>>53733416

The point is disembarking AFTER the vehicle has moved, THEN moving the unit as per normal disembark rules.

Please help, I posted on Reddit but they aren't responding!
>>
>>53733416
You can only disembark before it moves.
Grav chute can disembark whenever it feels like it.
>>
>>53733416
normally you disembark at the beginning of the movement phase before the transport moves , with the valkyrie you can disembark over any spot it moved during the movement phase
and if you moved 20 inches or less you don't risk injury
allows you to get your dudes where they need to be without having it be blatantly obvious , in rapid fire/flamer range and possibly move them all into cover if need be

Ork boy with a choppa kills 0.89 conscripts (2.67 points) on average each fight phase and 0.15 (0.45 points) in their own shooting phase while locked in close combat. Add 33% more kills in each fight phase if their unit somehow still has twenty models in it.

Conscript with full buffs kills 0.19 orks (1.11 points) in the fight phase and each of their own shooting phases (double that if within 12" but not locked in close combat). Reduce that to 0.15 orks (0.93 points) if they have a painboy.

So in theory, the orks could win if they get stuck in early enough. However, the orks are much more vulnerable to having their buff characters removed for the simple reason that IG have snipers and orks don't.

It wasn't a simple matter to just include 100 conscripts in any imperial army though. Tyranids couldn't have a huge swarms of genestealers backed up by hundreds of conscripts before.

Indeed.

On the other hand Catachian have Harker that does the same thing for cheaper, and Straken that gives +1A to conscripts (and stacks with priest)

Hilariously, the GW Community Viking Hipster guy was talking about "cheeky" ways for Tau suits to deepstrike and still use 8" flamers despite the 9" deepstrike norm.

and even if you do threaten to fly of the edge and you're not playing with death from the skies for some reason you can simply declare you are entering hover mode and turn around / move less than 20 inch

>>53733453

Basically, just look at the list of buffs in the OP pic, and reduce or eliminate almost all of them in some manner.

I wonder how good the Flame Belcha and Super Skorcha will be when they roll out the Index Xenos from Forgeworld.

If the Gorkanaut gets 16 attacks, I imagine the Klaw Stompa will probably have an astronomical number.

It's a real thing. Homing beacons on stealth suits allows you to deep strike crisis suits within 9''. One unit per one beacon. Too bad crisis suits are overcosted shit but it allows 4xFusion Commander to get within melta range or O'shovah close enough for guaranteed charge.
>>
>>53733277
conscript spam isn't fun or cheap

so even waacs will quickly get bored of it

will be interesting to see it at a tournament. if the tournaments rules allow for it. you'd really have to play fast though. biggest problem with so many models.

While I agree the biggest issue is that it's going to make the strong named characters very good relative to the midling buff characters like basic meks, priests, etc. It won't stop hero hammer, it'll just stop people from being able to bring low tier, basic characters.

They're not going to rebalance them with a new datasheet until the IG Codex and who knows how long that'll take to come out.

They'll just up their points costs. That's literally why points were put in a separate place in the back of the book.

A single point increase per model cuts down the efficiency of conscript spam by 25%.

Yes likely, normal guardsmen come in units of 10 so they don't benefit as much from orders.

Good times.

Stick it and an Apothecary next to some squads of Sternguards full of combi-plasmas, or some of those new Hellblasters. When you overheat you get to shoot again, then the Apothecary brings the model back.

As a sisters player I really like meltas. Been wrecking shit with them constantly. Anything that does D6 damage seems to do that.

Immolator transports are cheap and cover whatever their transported unit can't, but with a 12" move and twin multi-melta they can really fuck up characters, vehicles, and LOWs equal to their price or higher for cheap.

>>53733247
Back of envelope calculation, it looks like a vindicare needs about three shots on average to kill a commissar, significantly more for a lord commissar or company commander. Those models are all significantly cheaper than assassins.

Vindicare actually seems like one of the worst sniper units. Best is probably ratlings, followed by guard command squads.

Basically, the only way to beat guard in 8th edition is with other guard.

I'm not even mad. Seems fitting that the strongest force in the 40k universe is mass hordes of ordinary men driven by brutal officers. Hopefully guard sales will go through the roof and GW will release some better models for them.

>>53733247
>>53734239
The problem with Vindicares now is that they only deal D3 wounds rather than a set number of wounds. They're affected by the stupid random damage system.

If it was set at 2 wounds or 3 wounds it'd be way, way better.

>Imperial players can report their scores as they try to liberate or save the worlds of Konor, while you heretical Chaos fans out there can report your victories to spread contagion and plague across the worlds.
>We haven’t forgotten you xenos players though – you guys get to have a lot of fun. The rise of Chaos, and the Imperium’s attempts to halt it have left many planets easy pickings for opportunistic aliens. Each xenos victory can be used to reduce either the Chaos or Imperial score in your local area, representing the xenos forces disrupting the war effort on both fronts.
>So, if Chaos is winning in your area, and you want to stop them you can. Or, if the Imperium pulls ahead and you want to redress the balance, you can swap sides half way through the campaign!

I know what it was, it wasn't that many but basically people were saying you could bring an army that was basically nothing but heralds and pink horrors and you could use psychic dice to summon more psykers and break even or gain dice, basically allowing you to spawn 1000pts per turn, but it doesn't work like that and you actually have to own the models, not to mention the likelihood of perils, amount of successes needed, and that those units aren't scoring
>>
>>53734216

Hyperbole for how un-user friendly the new points system layout is.
>>
>>53733308
Depends on your local scene. If people are going to be bringing a lot of the stuff which is generally popular (i.e. marines) and not optimising, then mek gunz, tankbustas and flash gitz in battlewagons might cope OK. Against anyone bringing a serious gunline army, totally fucked.
>>
>>53734239
I personally think that the best one is Skitarii Arquebi - no Shoot Sharp and Scarper, but exactly as good shots with similar buff ability and far greater damage and range. They can own light (commissar, etcetera) characters almost as well as Ratlings, plus take on a whole bunch of heavier shit. If you JUST want to butcher morale support dudes then Ratlings are superior, but against any army but Conscript Spam I'd say Rangers are far more versatile for cost.

What are Ratlings, 10ppm? Then a squad of ten is equivalent to 5 Rangers with two Arquebi, and the Skits can buy Ignore Cover and ATSKNF for small costs on top of that, and have far better other stats.

>only faction that has a "safe space"

There's literally a week in the campaign where you get double points for using and/or painting Space Marines. They literally had to rig it so that the most popular faction in the game scores double points just for showing up.

They're so worried Imperial players will sperg out if they lose they bubble wrapped the whole thing so they win no matter what.

But you're equally making a fallacious argument by suggesting that, because people were wrong before about a totally different thing, a group of different individuals is wrong now about this new unrelated thing.

You have to judge it on its own merits, and so far no one has put forth any evidence, either from in-game experience or from mathematical calculation, that conscripts are balanced.

Even if they're beatable that doesn't mean they're balanced, if it takes far more skill to overcome the strategy than to abuse it, or if it still tends to win more than it loses.

Eh, the difference now is that conscript spam is easily countered by a sufficient amount of terrain.
If they can't see you they can't shoot you, and they aren't that fast even with orders. At least that's what I can say after playing against a conscript spam army yesterday, though it wasn't quite to the level of "2000 points only conscripts" that some people are talking about.

Ordnance Russes were only good due to Lumbering Behemoth, that they then got rid of the following edition
what a joke
>>53734535
nerf how exactly? Back in 5th edition, without Cheknov, Conscripts were completely useless, in 6th and 7th they cost 3 points and could take a commissar, making them actually useable. Now apparently they're the new hotness because we don't have a measly platoon tax anymore.
How the fuck can they nerf conscripts without making them useless for yet another edition? WS6+? LD3? 6+ save? No Orders? These are the nerfs I wouldn't mind, but moving them back to 4ppm or taking away their commissar will ensure they never get used again.

Don't. Stop playing 7th.

>>53734640
In my experiences so far, Imperial Guard in general are already overpowered, or at the very least marginally better than the other top tier armies, and that was without running any conscripts at all. I can't imagine how bullshit the professional tourneyfag lists are going to be once they figure out the right balance.

Have you been paying attention at all?

Blast templates are gone, you can't sweep them anymore, all of their orders got better, the new objective rules favor them, the new AP system favors them, there were like a thousand and one buffs to conscripts besides "no platoon tax".

Every single rules change from 7th to 8th was either neutral or buffed them somehow.

Ratlings are 7 ppm, painboys are 65. Takes 16.7 shots from a ratling to kill a painboy. Pay for themselves by the second round.

A warboss is much tougher to beat. You can get one for 68 points and he takes 54 shots to go down (assuming there is no painboy around). On the other hand, he doesn't buff the orks nearly as much as any of the guard characters buff their conscripts.

Mad Dok Grotsnik however is just as tough as a warboss (2/3 the wounds, but 1/3 chance to ignore each wound) and gives the painboy's buff. Not bad at all for 74 points.

Read the reply chain you faggot. One guy said that conscript spam hasn't really been tested, and even if they still culd be op it's all just theory at this point. To which one faggot replied that "good players" can tell these things by glace, offering as proof the reaction to scatbikes.

My counter was that self proclamed "good players" on imageboards get ten wrongs for every right. So the first point still stand. All of this is just theory for now. It could be right, but until someone actually put them on the table it's just pointless screaming because the sky is falling.

Also even if they are OP buying and painting 500 conscript is very different from doing it with 3 Riptide of 20 Bikes. The majority of players will never see them on the table.

Being able to retreat from combat, the new orders are better and can never fail, they're a lot harder to kill across the board, aura-based buffs mean their characters can affect a lot of different units at once with good positioning, many of their heavy weapons improved (jesus fucking christ missile launchers man), they're the best at taking advantage of the new Force Org chart and stacking command points, it's just craziness. I don't think our local guard player has even once lost a game so far, he either crushes his opponent, wins out barely, or they come to a draw because the game doesn't finish before people have to pack up and leave.

Limit the unit size to something sane, like 20 models. A lot of the bullshit they get is because the benefit applies per unit. Losing 2% of your squad to commissars each turn is nothing. Losing 5% is still something significant. This also means you aren't much better off issuing orders to conscripts than normal squads.

Then look at the points cost again. Compare them to similar units, like gretchin. Realise that they are probably worth 4 ppm. Look at normal guardsmen, compare them to similar units like chaos cultists and realise they are probably worth 5 ppm (also heavy weapon teams are worth more than single guardsmen and mortars are pretty much as good as heavy bolters).

I think with those changes, guard will be basically OK. They are also simple enough that they can be fixed with an errata.

I think the chances of GW actually doing that rather than completely fucking it up are maybe 30%.

>Just like on the tabletop ;^)
Honestly, this is probably just my local store but all the chaosfags here have horrifically badly (if they're painted at all) done armies.

I kid you not. Whenever I play this Khorne Daemon player with my nids I literally feel like puking. I can't believe people take so little care of their models.

And the furthermore, most of them can't even play the fucking game, I tabled a different chaos player with my nids once. Without a single Flyrant. And then I get complaints about being a WAACfagging asshat and "OP stupid nids". In friggin 7th.

And don't get me started on their fucking stupid behaviour while playing. Constantly sperging about "muh bluuhd god" or "HAHA CHAOS ALWAYS WINS ROFL". I don't understand how grown men can act so childlike.

In comparison, I actually ENJOY playing against the actual White Scar Gravspam/ Yinnari Soulburst Spam/ Necron Wraith Spam WAACfags of my Store by comparison, rather than playing one of those fuckwits.

And to boot, almost every single loyalist SM army that I've seen here has been painted and assembled with love and care for the models.

No you got it about right.

I'm sure the chill Chaos players exist out there somewhere but they tend to attract the autists the most in my experience.

It would have to be an army that is all or almost exclusively one gender, of course. Which is Space Marines or sisters. But marines are all chemically fucked to not want sex, so I would go with sisters, possibly tied with any chapter that isn't chemically messed up like presumably Space Wolves.

IIRC homosexuality was (and still is) much more common (but kept under wraps) among nuns back in the day so that's a thing.
>>
>>53734474

>Conscript spam could win if they were unarmed and had 0 attacks.

Yes, which is why +1 attack is meaningless.

+1 attack isn't boosting their melee prowess in any meaningful fashion because they're so godawful at combat that nothing can.

The strength of conscripts is in their cheapness. Anything that makes them more expensive is almost as a rule just making them worse.
>>
>>53734259
Exactly the same shooting capacity as ratlings, but more than twice the cost (obviously tougher and better in other ways though).

>>53734291
Footslogging any ork specialist unit is probably a bad idea. 17 points on a 1 wound model with a 6+ save? That's easy pickings. Ditto for lootas, flash gitz and burna boyz.

i think people are bitching about Conscripts because now they are easier to take. Before, they could only be included in a platoon, which had other per-requisites. Now, taking them as troops is a little OP in my opinion, but what most people here fail to realize is that conscripts were a sleeper hit last edition aswell. Now you'll be seeing more of their nastiness thanks to their ease of including them

Who knows what the updated points will be in just a couple weeks when the DG Codex launches.
>>
>>53735374
For some reason I think we'll see platoons come back from the 'dex is out. Maybe they'll be optional this time around (removal of Vets from Troops and all that) but the FAQ said they still exist. I know GW still can't write rules for shit but I don't see an oversight that big being down to miscommunication.

Tbh I'm sort of torn on the platoon thing. I love the flavour it brought but at the same time making people buy five boxes of infantry at £18 each just to get your basic troop choices would be absurd, which is probably why Vets stayed as Troops as long as they did.
>>

Then yeah, Ratlings almost certainly superior to Rangers where dakka is concerned, since you can get thirty hobbits for four Arquebi, so Ratlings, then Skit Rangers for their high damage, then other shit.

Is it only me wishing they'd made Ironstrider Balistarii weapons Sniper and/or Relentless? Taking shots with their guns at enemy characters through masses of other soldiers while at stalking pace is literally their entire fluff, but they instead just let them Advance and then Snap Fire for some reason while still taking Heavy Weapon penalities.
>>
>>53735424
Poxwalkers are 6 in the index.
>>
>>53735424
There are a bunch of discrepancies between the DG and Primaris Marine costs in the indexes and in the Dark Imperium booklets, I could be misremembering the poxwalkers cost though.

But the Codexes will overwrite both when they come out shortly so it won't be a big deal for very long.

Painting my crons up as Mephrit dynasty because the color scheme is appealing and they have a block on the 8th ed map so figured they would exist in the codex.

My boy Zarathusa already chilled with Bangles but didn't get any mention in the follow up the the Baal stuff. I feel like this is a fluff enough reason for someone proclaiming themselves The Ineffable to get salty, so maybe a grudge match.

If they start 36" from the enemy board edge and move and advance every turn, they will have covered literally the entire board by the end of the game.

Plus they can be backed by 27 point mortar squads which can shoot you even when they can't see you and bullgryns which can reliably charge units 30" from their deployment zone in the first turn.

Looks good.
Preadators are beasts, and the HB+flamer tac squad has done me well this edition, though I'm just ecstatic that tacs are at least some what viable this edition.
Melee captain with not entourage is a waste of his buff, with this list it's probably best to sit him in back with the preads and give them the ability to reroll 1s.

May I ask what you plan on expanding the list with my battle brother? I assume some metal boxes, since there pretty good this edition.

I played a BT counts as chapter back at fifth before selling my stuff and being unable to play past early sixth and all of seventh.

Now that I'm back (and sold stuff) I'm looking to do a tank/heavy list.

I don't have that much more than what's been posted right now but I'll be slapping down another Predator (may do triple las again) and a contemptor dread (assault cannon) before buying another tac squad and then adding a tech marine and some other HQ so I can get the Battalion and Spearhead detachments.

But without orders, they are still way better than grots. Move 6" rather than 5". Same WS, better S. Two-thirds the chance to hit, but twice the shots at 12" and can shoot out to 24". T 3, 5+ save vs. T 2 6+. Lose 1 out of 50 models from morale vs. lose 1-3 out of 30. And grots aren't really a terrible unit. Conscripts really should be 4 ppm even without orders or a seriously reduced squad size.

count as moved for shooting, and because all those deep strikes happen at the end of the movement phase, there is no more moving after showing up.

>>53736164
Chart-Anon did some damage calcs for knights which you might find interesting.

The way damage shakes out in 8e means you don't need to worry as much about fielding units which could be potentially unkillable; sufficient volume of infantry fire can harm them (though not terribly efficiently).

Because lances are heavy, their bs would drop down to 3. Despite this, do you think Lances are more effective at destroying tanks than Haywire blasters?

Ok, how's my anti-horde necron list?

<Battalion Detachment>
-HQ-
Illuminor Szeras - Eldritch Lance - 143
Cryptek - Staff of Light - 104

-Troops-
Necron Warriors x19 - 228
Necron Warriors x18 - 216
Necron Warriors x10 - 120

-Dedicated Transport-
Ghost Ark - 170

<Spearhead Detachment>
-HQ-
Anraykyr the Traveler - Warscythe, Tachyon Arrow - 167

-Heavy Support-
Doomsday Ark - 203
Doomsday Ark - 203
Annihilation Barge - Twin Tesla Destructor, Tesla Cannon - 146
Annihilation Barge - Twin Tesla Destructor, Tesla Cannon - 146
Annihilation Barge - Twin Tesla Destructor, Tesla Cannon - 146

Total - 1992
Command Points - 7

So two almost full units of Warriors backed up by a Cryptek giving them a 5+ invulnerable save to shooting, Szeras giving them a permanent buff each turn. Then you have a Ghost Ark full of Warriors repairing one of the Warrior units each turn.

Anrakyr will be giving one of the blobs with that gets charged +1 attack to help them out in CC. He's also quite good in CC and has a single doomsday cannon shot to cripple a vehicle/monster/character.

The Annihilation Barges will be unloading their shots into the biggest blobs.

The two Doomsday Arks are their to deal with whatever vehicles and monsters the enemy may have as well as elite units. They also get more shots against units with 10+ models so they can help whittle down hordes as well.
>>
>>53736260
Thanks, anon.

>>53736265
Well the Lances have double the strength in comparison so it'd be easier to wound with them.
>>
So, how are Necrons in 8th? Hoping Wraiths are fine... got a bunch that aren't assembled doing nothing.
>>
>>53736334
They're worth more on eBay unassembled.
>>
>>53735929
>Okay, but you can increase the hit DC of enemy shots/swings beyond their ability to roll right?
Yes,

>Like you can make it so overwatch hits on a 7+, which is impossible?
But not Overwatch, no, because Overwatch specifically says it ignores all modifiers.

>So Old One Eye affects himself
He does not, because his ability says a Carnifex unit, not a model with the CARNIFEX keyword, which is different.

Same for Broodlords, they are not Genestealer units, although they have the GENESTEALER keyword. The way to tell is that keywords are always in small-caps bold font.
>>
>>53733601
Power fields and bionic, maybe Archaeotech
>>
>>53735872
>>53735892
>>53735929
>>53735980


Character are always within their aura, but they also must meet the requirements for the buff.

The Broodlord and OoE don't gain the benefit of their aura, because their aura doesn't affect units with the GENESTEALER or CARNIFEX keyword, they affect Genestealer or Carnifex units.

The big difference is that if it's written in ALL CAPS then it's referring to tags, and all units with those tags, but if it's written normally it's just the unit name.
>>
They muddle it by having them be Carnifex/Genestealers as their keywords. But its clear their intent is CARNIEX UNITS, Ie actually named Carnifexs, not old one eyes.
>>
>>53736415
>>53736391
>>53736430
That seems retarded, and completely wrong, given the point of keywords.
>>
>>53736031
There's a separate general thread for that game.
>>
>>53736434
It does specify carnifex units and not carnifex keywords. References to keywords tend to be <xxxx>

Units generally refers to Datasheets.
>>
>>53736434

That isn't the point of keywords. Imagine if you wanted to make an HQ that only buffed a certain keyword but didn't buff itself. How would you do it? The keyword system works fine.
>>
>>53736434
That's how it is, unless they FAQ it to say they meant otherwise.

OOE is already ridiculously good for his points even without hitting on a 2+ rerollable.
>>
>>53736462
This buffs keyword units, except for itself.

How was that hard?

The point is that that rules don't use keywords. Note how <HIVE FLEET> is allcaps while both Broodlord and Genestealer isn't.
>>
>>53736474

About as hard as reading comprehension is for you.
>>
Why is every online battle report done by scrubs constantly misreading things and making mistakes? It's really hard to enjoy the game when they're missing entire sequences of rolls because they forgot a psychic power is in effect.
>>
>>53736474
Good job, now Broodlords buff all GENESTEALER units from Genestealer cults.
>>
>>53736517
Not him but that is avoided by the <HIVE FLEET> tag being there.
>>
>>53736517
No, they wouldn't, because genestealer cult units aren't from <Hive Fleet>
>>
>>53736532
>>53736538
Except that you can choose GENESTEALER CULT as you hive fleet.
>>
>>53736549
Okay, you got me, I didn't realize you were pretending to be retarded until this post.
>>
>>53736549
No you can't, shut the fuck up.

GW has already stated on stream they're FAQing the wu tang clan bullshit in a week.

>>
>>53736565
So you are admitting that right now and until a future FAQ I am perfectly right?
>>
>>53736592
FAQ's aren't errata.
>>
>>53733018
commisar is 30 points, not 20 points, so unit cost math is wrong.

also harker and straken are things.

also, spending more points on snipers than a 30pt character is okay, since it's a force multiplier. ratlings seem like the best choice.
>>
>>53736317
haywire has auto mortal wound on wound roll of 4+.
So getting 1 wound off is more reliably done with haywire blasters.
Getting higher quantity of wounds is better done with lances.

Haywire blaster are also better against vehicles with invuln saves.

But then lances are better against monsters and high wound non-vehicles.
>>
>>53736592
No because GW saying it will be FAQ'd means it's already against the rules. FAQs don't change rules they just clarify things for retards who have to ask.
>>
>>53736499
Get used to the idea that a game with as many "moving parts" as 40k has will constantly have rules and sequences fucked up by the people playing the game. You will be no different.
>>
>>53736592

If you know it's going to be FAQ'd, then you know you're wrong. RAI trumps RAW.
>>
>>53736578
missiles in general are bad
>>
>>53736622
I've been playing this game for over 15 years and almost never make mistakes. Tactical mistakes, sure, I make bad moves, but I never make simple rules mistakes like rolling the wrong number of attacks for my models. People are just careless and don't read the rules.
>>
>>53736602
>reads like errata
>respected like errata
>plays like errata
might as well be errata
>>
>>53736657

The definition of errata implies the current un-errata'd text is erroneous to begin with.
>>
>>53736642
no.
You forget you make mistakes. Because they are typically small and didn't effect the game. Or you caught them in time to roleback the game. But you have the luxury of forgetting because it's not on camera and published.

And you play far less games then online content do, and with fewer armies. So you have less rules to remember and apply, and more time to review and refresh your knowledge of rules compared to playing.

And you're only concerned about remembering the rules and playing the game. They also have to be doing all of the additional concerns involved in making a video for publishing.
>>
My 2000 point army:
12x Celestine
4x Geminae Superia


do i win? 13 acts of faith every turn and pretty meh durability and offense for the points, but celestine is not unique (unlike uriah or any other named character). so you might as well try it before the faq hits.
>>
>>53736657
But they're not. Errata changes rules, FAQs clear up the RAI for dipshits like you
>>
>>53736614
>>53736632
>>53736602

Because of course a total stranger on a Cambodian cave painting newsletter saying that he heard something in a stream is totally a reliable source about the true intention of the game designers right?
>>
>>53736681
Sure, you are technically correct that it is not errata, but if GW puts out an FAQ that clarifies the way the rules are supposed to work in a way that changes how people approach the game are you going to tell me that that does not have, in effect, the exact same consequences as an errata release would have?
>>
>>53736698
>do i win

You lose by default, both in the game for having an illegal list and in life for having 11 useless models.
>>
>>53736698
have fun fighting 200000000 conscripts or ork daisy chains with that
>>
>>53736681
That too.

RAI always, always trumps RAW, by definition of the word "intended".

If you have info from an authoritative source that something in the published rules is wrong, it's wrong. The twitter posts by Pete Foley are more legitimate than any amount of legalese loophole word-bending a scummy WAACfag can do.
>>
>>53736715

The stream actually exists moron you can verify it for yourself.

>he couldn't even ask for a citation because it was given preemptively so he just claims the cite is false
>>
>>53736724
sorry, but it's not an illegal list.
>>
>>53736715
not "some" stream, GW's own stream retard
>>
>>53736715
In this specific instance it doesn't even matter because everyone and their mother knows Wu Tang Clan isn't RAI and it's already banned in 99% of stores.
>>
>>53736741

Then why won't a single player in the world play you? Go on, find an opponent and prove it.
>>
>>53736739
unfortunately if it's on their twitch channel, verification requires a $5 subscription, which is super super lame.
>>
>>53736614
GW uses FAQ like errata and is more than willing to change the rules text of abilities with FAQs. Ergo GW FAQs change rules and don't simply clarify things.
>>
>>53736743
The same stream where players (both GW employees and randoms alike) near constantly get rules wrong for "the narrative"?
>>
>>53736739
you know he is the kind of shitstain that will ask for an exact timestamp, and if you tell him to find it himself he'll go "lol i wont, i win"
>>
>>53736767
Their FAQ's include both FAQ and errata, doesn't mean they are the same thing, and the strict definition doesn't even really matter most of the time.
>>
>>53736760
woah wait, are you know every player in the world? I didn't realize we were talking with god.

Your butthurt when they errata the Celestine profile in seven days will feed me.
>>
>>53736721
except it's not changing the way people approach the game.
Because even the people who argued for the Wu-tang clan bs knew it was against the rules, but they either thought the bad joke was funny, or thought they could get away with using rules that clearly were not there.

Rules always imply a lot of rules not on the page. For example, saying the six sided dice are use implies that those dice are fair and not weighted. Even though those words aren't on the page.
Also not on the page, you can't move you're models outside of when it says you can. Oh, it only lists those times as when you are allowed to move them, but it doesn't say you can't move them other times.

>>
>>53736873
People think that because you can name your ork klan and craftworld and tau sept the same thing you can use the same keywords across them all, despite the fact that the base for the keyword isn't the same. It's basically autistically dodging the core concept of how thins work because technically you can interpret it in a way that the rules don't cover it.

I honestly want to be at a store on launch when some idiot tries it and every single person refuses to play them. Hopefully it would lead to the amount cringy rage that they'd get kicked out the store.

There was also the guy RAGING that the Mortarion leak was fake who sperged the fuck out saying he was right the second they announced the Dark Imperium contents and Morty wasn't in it, and started demanding people apologizing to him, because apparently if they didn't put that Daemon Primarch model in the starter set he was never, ever coming out, and then he got completely BTFO so hard the next day or two when Warhammerfest released the art with Mortarion on it identical to the leak that he probably killed himself.

The guy running my local GW is a Nurgle player. Great guy, super chill, married, pretty upstanding overall.

Haven't had much time to get my ass up from "aspiring Slaanesh player" to "radical Slaanesh player" since work eats up all of my time, leaving little to get my modeling and painting skills up to par. I want bright pink dudes with loud pew pew guns, bright pink tanks, and rainbow puke Diaz daemonettes running across the field. Yeah, there are titties. Slaanesh is a titty trap god. Slaanesh also probably wants me to build a Voltron-colored titan conversion out of a defiler kit, complete with sculpted missile boobs and anime girl face.

The whole purpose of Chaos seems to be Saturday morning cartoon villain shenanigans. You can be a cringe retard about it, or you can try your best to put something on a table that gets both a chuckle and compliment. Until I can get to that level, I'm not wasting someone's time. I was responsible for other people's cringing during my earlier 40K attempts and I can do better than that.

My girlfriend wants to paint terrain because she thinks it looks gorgeous. She also wants to do a Thousand Sons army and paint Magnus blue, "because GW makes some really nice blues." I'm not sure what kind of Chaos she really is.

Our choppy got buffed a lot, so our shooty looks worse by comparison. Also blast weapons used to be a trick to help us get around our shitty BS, but that doesn't help much anymore.
We did get some buffs to our shooty, though, as anything that previously had twin-linked now has double shots instead (which is better). Things like deffkoptas, warbikes, warbuggies, and dakkajets are improved because of that. They also did make Flash Gitz better, though they are still a little on the pricey side considering their durability, and really require a battlewagon if you want to get the most out of them, which means you're dumping a lot of points just to get full effect out of one unit that will disappear shortly after the wagon does.
Big Gunz are still pretty good, too.

Yarrick has the benefit of affecting vehicles so yes, he is worth it. He's also good in combat and hard to be sniped to death. Even a Vindicare can potentially not kill him on a 3+.

Harker is only good for buffing tons of Heavy Weapon Squads that are given Officers and all Catachan for that stuff. Also it's easy just to say a unit is Catachan without actually using the models. I use count as for Straken and Harker.

I can't tell if forcing Magnus to be blue is EXTRA Tzeentch, or very much COUNTER Tzeentch since he is, in fact, Magnus the Red. Of course, this kind of confusion is the extra shit Tzeentch would pull. Should a Tzeentch player be good at hide and seek? She's brutal at hide and seek.

That's pretty sweet though.

last shill. The store owners don't play much but they are great painters and will host paint nights to teach people to be better painters. Anyone can play in the back but if you play in the front it has to be fully painted armies.

That fuckin blows. I'm loyal to the Guard Tower but Orc's Forge (over 20 tables and painting spots), Fog of Dusk (real nice guys), and The Soldiery (sells 2nd hand used figs and OOP stuff) are all within 20 min of my house. Is central Ohio just better than average? I think we have a GW store in a mall too but no one goes there.

You're not really playing to the strength of nids which is ablative wounds, moreso providing juicy targets in random units that don't really help one another

What's a good 1500 Conscripts list look like?
How many Conscripts worth of points?
HWSs or Russes?
>>
>>53737828
1 commisar/priest per 2 full conscripts, 1 company commander or whatever that lets you do two orders a turn.
>>
>>53737857
But I only have 60 guard models.
>>
>>53737929
GUFFAW

Looks like no conscripts spam for you then!
>>
>>53737929
Then buy more.
>>
>>53737828
>>53737857
and dont spend more than half your points on con blobs
>>
>>53737929
2 squads of 30 is decent if you make up for it with artillery, HWS and 2 Russes.
>>
I'm putting a new Warboss on Warbike together. I'm debating whether to give him a big choppa or a power klaw.

I already have a Zhadsnark model. So this guy will most likely be used to fill an HQ slot for more Outrider detachments and whatnot.
>>
>>53737949
That'd be a decent list, actually.
>>
>>53737962
big choppas seem cheap and cheerful anymore. The warboss higher strength seems to give better returns on the 9 points as well.
>>
>>53737962
The warboss will get the most out of the PK of any model in your army. Hitting on 3+ (or 2+ if you manage to get a Banner nearby) with 4 swings at S12 AP-3 is pretty hard to pass up.
On regular Nobs, the extra cost of the PK over the Big Choppa makes it more debateable, but the Warboss should always get a PK.
>>
>>53737979
That's my debate.

Big choppa becomes S8 AP-1 D2
Power Klaw is S12 AP-3 Dd3

S12 is hitting crazy hard, but going to S8 for only 9 points is damn good.

Having just played a game against Orks in 8th edition, I can say that this list is now completely wrong. Orks got buffed all the way to Tier 1 in this edition, to a point where they're basically unbeatable if you have the right build.

> My opponent is actually retarded, he required the assistance of another player to even know how Advancing and shooting worked
> He brought Meganobz and Dredd Mob
> I brought a dreadnought army, with support from Sternguard Vets, Vanguard Vets, and an Eversor assassin. But the bulk of my anti-armour came from Dreadnoughts
> We played "The Relic", relic got randomly selected from his deployment zone.
> He finished deploying first, so he went first
> Killa Kanz charge my dreadnoughts on turn 1, basically make a distraction to screen for the big fuckers. They were assisted by the Mega-Boss to get across the 12" no-mans-land on turn 1.
> Meganobz with a Mega-Boss charge my Contemptor on turn 1, and fucking annihilate it.
> I killed all of his killa kanz, and try to shoot out his mega-nobz, but I fucking can't because combi-gravs suck ass against hordes of T5-3w-2+ models
> He uses his command points to force my Eversor to fail at charging some boyz
> Deff Dreadz annihilate my remaining dreadnoughts
> Meganobz massacre my sternguard vets
> My vanguard vets succeed in taking 6 out of 7 wounds off of his MegaBoss, get annihilated in turn
> We call the game because I am now tabled.

It gets worse bruh. Dread Mob is one of the worse ork lists. BOYZ HORDE is the most frighteningly deadly thing in the entire universe, and can even go toe-to-toe with CONSCRIPT HORDE if you buff them up right. Such as a humble Warboss giving them "3d6" rerollable-charge ranges.

I think it comes down to what the boss is coming in with. On his own? Klaw. supporting other bikes or whatever? prolly big choppa
>>
>>53737659
it LOOKS more tau, but I could see it being a stormraven , and if you wanted to drop it as a corvus I wouldn't bitch, just put the necessary bits on it

why not good old infantry squads?

That's 5 squads using the rest for officers/command/whatever.
>>
>>53734022

They're not that bad, just a less specialized alternative than regular marines. This can be compensated in other army selections, or allying in other imperial units.
That said if you like their look better, pick them up.

I was just there today to pick up some paint and pizza and talk with Austin about the escalation league for 8th. The Guard Tower is awesome. It's why every attempt at a GW store in Central Ohio fails.

>>53735248
Hopefully that'll change in the codex. Til then, I'm just proxying mine as "company veterans" that mysteriously have yellow helmets.
