So with 8th edition out, I'm finally ready to get into 40k after lurking and reading about it forever. Fluff wise I really like the Thousand Sons but I heard they're garbage which sucks. The Plague Marines are close behind them and they just got that sweet new stuff. What do you guys think about either of these armies in general and for someone knew to 40k?

Part of me wants plastic kits for the other Regiments, but I worry they would mess it up. Like, for example, Vostroyans would probably be ruined if they went with the new cartoony style, and so would Steel Legion.

It's more likely they will just discontinue all the cool regiments anyway
>>
>>53891180
I really don't understand this attitude.

It's fine having favorites. I certainly have mine. But more variety in the game is good, and there's nothing wrong with the SoB besides their lack of decent support from GW
>>
>>53891271

>>
So, inspired by the discussion last thread about whether or not you can make Militarum Auxilia your <Regiment>, could you make a Space Marine chapter your <Regiment> and say that your Guardsmen are Chapter Serfs fighting alongside their Space Marine masters?

If you did, would your Guardsman characters give buffs to your Space Marines?
>>
>>53891247
>fairly popular faction
>>
>>53891326
They've explicitly stated that you cannot. The keyword should have been written <Chapter:_____> and <Regiment:_____> to stop the WAAC and other folk from not understanding RAI.
>>
>>53891326
No. This was FAQed, but the easiest way to look at it is that tags keep their type. So when a space marine buffing unit references <CHAPTER> and you select <BUMFUCK>, then the tag is actually <CHAPTER BUMFUCK>.

Your guards of the <BUMFUCK> regiment are actually <REGIMENT BUMFUCK>. So the tags don't match.

Anyone ever made like a hover-dreadnought or a Land Speeder piloted by a Sarcophagus or something?

I was thinking that could be a neat conversion to make since I was looking at running an almost entirely Dreadnought army for kicks and that would let me have some "Dreadnoughts" as fast attack too.
>>
>>53891326
You can have guard and space marines in the same army fighting side by side becuse they both have <imperium> and will share any buffs and rules that apply to the <imperium> keyword.

But they will not share anything else even if you name your <chapter> and <regiment> the same thing.
>>
>>53891368
Oh sweet summer child. You have no idea.
The bloody bitches are constantly selling out as soon something show ups, even for their old models. Third parties are making money with bootleg versions.

There is a market, big enough for third parties to try and get a cut.

Why GW never does something with them is a question people in GW ask themselves too
>>
>>53891389
That actually sounds legitimately entertaining for a narrative game. If your opponent can kill the MC'd swarmlord, the rest of the Swarm goes berserk (Controlled by the other player? By a third player?)

No idea yet till their indivisual indexes come out. I'd think it would be cool if it went something maybe like this:
Goffs: +1 to Attacks on units with Ere' We Go. Various command benefits as well.
Deffskulls: Can bring looted vehicles.
Bad Moonz: All have a +1 to their armour saves.
Snakebites: Universal 6+ FnP for units with Ere We Go. More squig and grot units available to them.
Scarlet Sunz: All vehicles move 2 inches more and all fast vehicles/bikes/planes gain a jinx-like ability.
Freebootas: +1 to their leadership and BS.

This does bother me as a Chaos player for a few reasons though.

You can take a Daemon Prince in a CSM or a CD army. The Prince in CSM has <Chaos Mark> while the Prince in CD has <Chaos God>. What this means is that a CSM Prince of Khorne is a Daemon with the Mark of Khorne, but is not a Khorne Daemon.

That seems a little wonky if you ask me. (Granted this issue was in 6 and 7e).

Getting back to my dark eldar with the 8th. Haven't had a chance to properly consider all the rules changes with work schedule and stuff, so what's changed in a nutshell? Are wyches worth taking now?

Something like:
>the player using MC-helm must bring hive tyrant and exactly 3 units of tyranid INFANTRY units. When the tyrant takes damage you lose control of the INFANTRY units according to the table above at the start of your turn. The player controlling the hive tyrant chooses which unit he loses control over. The opposing players controls those units for the rest of the game. If they tyrant is slain you immediately lose control of all the tyranid INFANTRY units.
You control 3/2/1 units with the normal damage breakpoints for hive tyrant. T'au player has to use nids aggressively to zerg them as fast as possible for them to not bite him back later if the tyrant starts to losing it.

Wez kangz of this edition.

Seriously. We are pretty dam good. I have won every game so far...although that might be because I was just so used to playing super tactical from 7th, and now I have a decent army to do it with.

Sort of like going from having to resuscitate someone with your bare hands to having a defibrillator.

We now have proper tools to do what we need to.

As for Wyches they are alright. Being able to pick combat drugs really helps!

As for raiders, my usual Troops unit in 7th cost 170pts. Now costs 200pts. So not that big a hike, and for those 30pts the raider trippled in surviability, got a (practical) speed boast.

So all in all. Pretty good.

Oh and grab yourself a Voidraven. Its so dam good now.

It would be far easier to grab WH codex and go ballistic with the AoF mechanics.

They're pretty fucking good now. Venoms and Raiders are both really tanky, split fire rules were incredible, and dark lances/blasters are both crazy good weapons that you can get all over your army. Both Power From Pain and Ynnari are viable ways to build the list, though note that if you go Ynnari, you can't have ANY haemonculus covens units or mandrakes in your army.

Also mandrakes are really fucking good now. They might be the best unit in the index.

Bleh, I should have clarified more. Mondays.

The fact that "Daemon of X" and "Mark of X" were not identical for purposes of assorted restrictions led to general weirdness, like the fact you could join a Sorcerer of Slaanesh to a unit of Flesh Hounds from Khorne Daemonkin, since you couldn't join a unit with a different *Mark*.

What happens if we get a model that gets bonus Khorne Daemons or something like that this edition? Does the Chaos player get to go "nope, he's not a Khorne Daemon, he's just a Daemon with the Mark of Khorne."

Because I know that will happen. Spergs gonna sperg. (See: "can hive guard shoot" in 5e, since their models have no eyes)

Hmmmmm I own the Chaplain dreadnought I will be makeing him a Death Company Dreadnought.

So if I went this way it would be a new list I would lose the Blood angel Dreadnoughts and as I bought those that would be a problem as I don't have the extra arms to make them generic.

But more importantly I have kinda fallen in love with my Blood Angel Dreadnoughts and I am happy with the list. So I wish you the best of luck with your Dreadnoughts! As one anon told me.

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

So need other opinions since another guy was disliking him for his cost last thread and I plan on putting a servoharness on the Masters of The Chapter guy with a Thunder hammer.

Really just have to figure out is he worth the extra points considering his Plasma cutter is masterworked and doesn't kill him and the reroll aura on top of the face that he is actually prety good at killing stuff with the 2+ to hit and 2+ to wound against pretty much everything that isnt a vehicle.

Well DE and Eldar look different enough from mechanics and aesthetics. So they can be different armies.

Beside shoulder pads and some random extra bits marine army all look the same.
Grey Knight look different due to their storm bolter and spear things and SW with their puppies, remove those from SW and they are not different from any other marine

Question: Under what circumstances should a Space Wolves Swiftclaw take a Bolt Pistol instead of the Chainsword? All Swiftclaws come standard with a Twin Boltgun, which clearly does more damage than the Bolt Pistol, but cannot be fired alongside the Bolt Pistol. This means the only time you'd use the Bolt Pistol would be in melee, where the Chainsword will do you more good. Is there a time where the Bolt Pistol is actually useful on this unit?

So I am a little confused about the pistol rules. Does it boil down to you can shoot the unit you're in melee with in the shooting phase and you can't fire both Pistol+Other Weapon in the same shooting phase?

"Any model may replace its bolt pistol with a chainsword"
The two are mutually exclusive, and the unit does not have an option to take a melee weapon in a way that does not replace the bolt pistol.

>>53891993
Another Swiftclaw question: Attack Bikes say "Each model is crewed by two swiftclaws armed with Bolt Pistols..." So are there two Bolt Pistols per model, then? Do the two Swiftclaws on the bike fire independently of each other?

Had a few thoughts on this, but the big one was redoing Sisters so they have "at least 3" choices per FOC. At the time, I was thinking of them akin to "Imperial Eldar" (lots of disjointed specialists becoming more than the sum of their parts).

Troopwise: Sister Bastions are your "mainline" troop, basically riot shield&bolt pistol sisters that are cheap and durable, able to tank hits for nearby units but not so tough themselves. Repentia become troops (and can take Exterminators), as do Dominions (shifted from "vanguard" to having "fire-then-move" mechanics.

Elites: Celestians are *the* mainline all-around unit, with Bolt Pistol/Chainsword/Bolter, and superior ability to target enemies due to Sabbat Pattern Helms. This is also where you expand on Ordos that are "mentioned" in the fluff but didn't make the crunch. At the time, I contemplated Ordo Madrigal as a "buff aura/faith hymns" unit, and Ordo Prononatus ("those that prepare the way") as Sister Terrorists: Stalker Boltguns, Demo Charges, anything "terrorist" in nature.

FA: Add a "combat-only" variant of the Immolator, move Penitent Engines.

HS: Let the Exorcist be indirect-fire. This is the most controversial one, but everyone else is getting a "big model" so why not the Sisters? The idea was "the Golgothan" (named as such as the pilot is willingly crucified into the control system), something that looks like the unholy love-child of a Dreadknight and Karamazov's lawnchair. Give it two fists and assorted weapons, and the option to trade out for an Inferno Cannon, Avenger Mega Bolter, or a Melta Cannon.

Finally, add a few other solos including an Ordo Planixium relic-bearer, a Sister Unrepentant (imagine a Repentia that just won't die, drug her up on Frenzon ans have her dual-wield Eviscerators) and you have something where you have multiple units, with less individual overlapping roles ("yo, I heard you like spamming Immolators") yet you keep to the Sister theme of zealotry, fire and faith.

what troops should I fucking use now, everything else sucks or sucked in 7th ed.

"Reinforcements" is a completely unrelated rule from "Reinforcement Points". You can't conflate the two. For example the Ork Psychic power "Da Jump" also instructs you to remove an Ork unit and "set up" the unit anywhere more than 9" from the enemy.

You don't understand, it's not an opinion. Being a fan of power level, it's unsurprising that you're retarded. Maybe a metaphor will help you understand the concept. In the same way that "eyeballing it" is an objectively worse way to measure distance than using a ruler, power level is an objectively worse way to measure an army list than points. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

See, that would imply that points are superior in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT over power.

Don't get me wrong, points are far more balanced, but there are metrics under which power is superior - list build time and simplicity are the omes thay come to mind. I dont care how long you have been wargaming for, it remains faster to talley up power than it is to build a list with points.

Using points values is objectively better for balance, but not overall.

"Full armies" and GW model releases are becoming increasingly rare though. Harlequins, Admech, and Deathwatch were all incomplete "mini-codex" armies tied around a single release wave while GSC fared better only due to their aggressively costed troops and superior deployment rounded off with IG support elements. And Wrath of Magnus was a trainwreck, because it became "how can I take Magnus in a Daemon army without taking any 1k Sons?"

If the only thought in making a codex went into only one unit...that codex will suck. Hard.

My plan is to get a platoon commander, a commissar, 2*10 guardsmen, 1 Leman Russ, and the blob of 50 conscript. Seems like a fun 500 pts list.

It's 8 mortal wounds after hitting, and average of one to yourself. So that's 5.33 wounds to them and 1 to you. Against another t7 3+ model the claw does 8.33... damage on top of the now, hitting on 4 because move, 1 mortal wound from the gun.

Harker is cheapest and most effective as long as you label your mens "Catachan" regardless if they are the models or not.

Yarrick next because he can just say no to dying on a 3+. He also gives out tons of buffs and can allow re-rolls of 1s for even Vehicles.

Straken next if you want melee buffs because with a Priest you can get +2 attacks for your infantry and conscripts. He also gives +1 attack for sentinels and rough riders which can be pretty nice.

Celestine is also good because she gives out a 6++ save to nearby Guard models. If you use the psychic power to buff a squads saving throw, you can make Conscripts 4+/5++ with Celestine's buff.

False.
With a power maul she ends being S5 Ap-1
So unless you are facing nothing but buildings there is nothing that has T8+ and any multiwound model is better deal with by the rest of your army.

That S6 AP-4 is hardly worth I when you can give her an inferno pistol for less top of a power maul.
Evscirator is way to expensive for what it does. Maybe if it was 12 points it would be more valuable but for 22? It is hard sale

An attack bike is armed with 1 heavy bolter, 1 twin bolter, 2 bolt pistols, 2 sets of frag grenades and 2 sets of krak grenades. In overwatch you'll be firing the heavy bolter and twin bolter, in CC the pistols. What is weird is how the attack bike fights when equipped with chainswords. If the attack bike charges it has 2 base + 2 from chainswords (because it is bearer) then +1 from berserk charge (because it is model).

Uh, the math clearly supports the Eviscerator.

The only thing the Power Maul has going for it is it hits on a 2+ rerollable, versus the Eviscerator's 3+ rerolling 1s. So functionally, it will hit 28/36 times versus the Power Maul's 35/36.

But consider that the Eviscerator is far more likely to wound and pierce armor saves completely. Against MEQ and up, you're going to convert way more hits to actual wounds.

Evi: .51 wounds per attack on MEQ, vs Maul: .32 wounds per attack.

You're still more efficient with the EVI at fucking Conscripts:
Evi: .64 wounds per attack
P. Maul: .54 wounds per attack.

Thinking about it, the only time you would be more efficient with the P. Maul would be against enemies with any 2 of the following:
Enemies with a penalty to be hit
Enemies with toughness less than 3
Enemies with armor of 6+ or an Invuln save instead of armor.
>>
>>53893412
Inferno pistol is hardly a replacement for an additional -3 AP and D3 would on your primary melee weapon. So yeah a power maul is better for killing Orks sure. But once you start hitting 4+ or 3+ saves the Eviscerator performs better even against single would models.

It wasn't one Chapter this time though. It was every single Blood Angels successor Chapter including ones that had gone renegade and been declared traitors by the Inquisition who risked their lives coming back anyway to defend their homeworld.

The Space Marine forces at Baal were Heresy-era Legion strength, and they had been whittled down to nothing but Dante and a few hundred guys by the time Guilliman showed up, who then still had to deploy his entire Crusade of Primaris Marines and dozens of other Chapters for them to finish the ones on Baal, while the entire tendril of Hive Ships in space had been sucked into the warp and couldn't offer any resistance and a Khorne Blood Crusade led by Ka'Bandha had killed all the forces on one of Baal's moons.

It took what was basically two Space Marine Legions, a Khorne crusade, and a deus ex machina removing the naval forces of the Hive Fleet, just to defeat that one tendril, after the Necrons and the Blood Angels already had to work together to blow up half of that tendril in the Cryptus system before they even arrived at Baal.

To recap, that's:
Blood Angels Legion
Primaris Crusade led by a Primarch accompanied by dozens of other non-Primaris Chapters
Warp Storm removing all Hive Ships from the picture
Khorne Blood Crusade of unprecedented size
Necron Dynasty with a powerful C'Tan shard

To stop this one tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. While an even bigger one is still doing battle with the Orks in Octarius.

It is. That's the source of the objectivity I am referring to.
>Please measure the goodness of power levels and points and provide a comprehensive analysis
Okay, I will spoon feed it to you:
>Less granularity inherently means less balance.
>The assumption that you will be taking "average" upgrades opens up the system to all kinds of abuse by clever WAACfags, especially in the case of units that can stack multiple expensive upgrades.
>It opens up weird list-building issues since you pay for things in blocks instead of one. model/weapon at a time. For example, an Ork player has to choose between paying full price for 20 boyz but only taking 12 if he wants to fill a trukk, or just paying for 10 and leaving 2 empty spots in the trukk.
>The fact that you can't change the cost of a unit by eschewing or adding upgrades means lists are less customizable, and which units are worth the cost changes drastically from system to system. For example, an ork player taking a battlewagon will probably only want the deff rolla upgrade, since the guns are unlikely to accomplish much of anything. With power level, you have to pay full price for it regardless of this fact, making the battlewagon a much worse choice using power level than points.
>Being based on an "eyeball estimate" by the devs, as opposed to the more precise points system, means you're going to have inferior balance no matter what you do. Go compare the cost of a list with points vs power level, and you'll quickly see that the conversion between points and power levels is extremely inconsistent.
>Points are designed to achieve greater balance, and GW is going to be updating them over time. Power levels are not slated to receive balancing tweaks.

Power level has exactly one advantage. The numbers you're adding up are smaller, making it easier for children and retarded people. If you are a non-retarded adult, there is no excuse for using power level, ever
>>
>>53893542
No, one of these is a 49 point model, one is 67.
With 4 attacks .32 is 1.28, or 38.28 points per wound.
With 4 attacks .51 is 2.04, or 32.84 points per wound.

Anything above MEQ it's Eviscerator land, especially if it's multiwound.

Incorrect, if you are a non-retarded adult, you will see the obvious advantages of points over power level. You can pretend that only autistic people are capable of seeing this blatantly obvious fact, but that doesn't make you less retarded.
>>
>>53893633
Just to be clear, people like that can't actually makes those costumes.

A small business makes them, and the model wears them to conventions and photoshoots.

Nerds, naturally having expendable income, tend to be smitten by beautiful women who don't look like your typical nerd girl. So when a beautiful woman is suddenly kneedeep in their hobby, they shit money all over them.

God dammit motherfucker I had to scroll down and read through this whole argument. Not them, but If there is a SINGLE reason to use x over y, just ONE person who prefers it for any reason, y CANNOT be objectively better than x. You do not know what "objectively better" means.
>>
>>53893703
These are all great reasons as to why Points are better

But this does not prove that points are OBJECTIVELY better. These are all subjective arguments and you can't form objective conclusions from subjective reasoning

The fact that you admit power levels have ANY kind of advantage means you cede the debate.

>If you are a non-retarded adult, there is no excuse for using power level, ever
People like you are the reason why 40k was dying a slow death, and this is why power levels exist now.

None of these arguments are subjective. Measurably less balance, measurably less granularity, measurably less room for customizing exactly what you take in your list, and a straight up admission from the devs that it's based on an assumption about what "average upgrades" look like for a list. All of those things are objectively inferior.

>If someone prefers to eyeball distances over measuring them with a ruler, that person prefers an objectively worse system. Despite the fact that eyeballing it is a bit faster, taking a proper measurement is still objectively superior.

Here's a pro to eyeballing it. You can do it faster, don't have to pay for a ruler, and don't have to carry a ruler.
Objectively better at MEASURING, sure, but not objectively better because there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides.

What you are both trying to say is "x is obviously better for almost everyone" which is true. But that does not make it an objective fact that x is better than y.
>>
>>53894049
>has the advantage of being more convenient

You clearly don't know what it means either.

Literally nothing, literally, absolutely, positively, nothing can be "objective" if your qualifier for it is: "no possible disadvantage whatsoever".

a. Points are balanced
b. Points are MORE balanced than power level
c. Balance is important

e. More granularity is an improvement

Yes, because what they teach in fucking grade school is dumbed down and wrong.

Facts vs. Opinions is not some binary cut-and-dry bullshit like you and our grade school teachers claimed. These anons have provided mathematical proof that power levels are more limiting and less balanced, and that the only reason to use power levels is that it's easier for people that can't do simple addition. Their argument is backed by multiple forms of evidence. They have proven their assertion.

Facts can be subjective and opinions can be wrong. There's a lot more nuance in argument than a retarded facts and opinions dichotomy.

Nothing I have said is subjective.
I've said that points are more balanced than power levels, which is factually true.

I've said that points avoid a lot of odd list-building issues that power levels introduce, which is factually true.
I've said that points provide a more precise measuring tool than power levels, which is factually true.

You're not arguing that points are objectively better balanced, you're arguing that points are objectively better period.

But to be more specific for the other special fellow:

>>
>>53894241
I dont think the anon is arguing that points are inferior to power level.
It seems like they're saying that calling points "objectively" superior is wrong, even tho most people will hold as their opinion that they are superior.

Also, along the same lines, not everything is subjective using that definition. For example, its impossible to find any way to say that 5 > 4, meaning that is an objective truth.
Its possible for someone to find that powerlevel is better than points. There is no way to *measure* the difference.

You can say "points better for this reason" all you want, but they are just *your* (and many other people's) reasons.

It is either a fact, or it is not. It is either Truth, or not. There is no Truth+ or Lesser Truth.
