Or do you have some magic army builder that already has forge world models? The web one doesn't have guard either.

boring. get me a story about the humble skull taxidermist. you know, the guy who collects, polishes, services and takes care of all the skulls or servo skulls in 40k.

Sup /tg/, today I had a 2v1 game against an Orkbro, with me and my actual brother in a team. Our army was 50/50 Space Marines versus 100 pp of Orks. We ended up running the Blitz mission. I ran a simple Vanguard Detachment with two HQs, and 3 elites. Most of my points were sunk into a Tartaros squad sitting cozy in a Land Raider Crusader.

So the mission was simple. The Ork Player got Preliminary Bombardments as well as Sustained Assault, so his army should have been pretty beefy. His troops automatically respawn, and he gets to roll for artillery bombardment at the start of the game. We used our command points(Only 3, my brother wasn't battleforged), to bunker down a squad of Hellblasters to give them a 1+ save. While I reserved the last one for Proxy-mines.

The game went pretty well, all things considered. The Orkbro decided to use his Wyrdboy to teleport his Meganobz right behind a squad of primaris dudes(the ones with the Longbolters), and then he vaporized them in melee. Which honestly was pretty wasteful, considering his better option would have been to use his Meganobz to blow up my Land Raider.

I'm thinking of starting Sisters of Battle (Adeptus Ministorum I guess its called now) and I'm looking through their rules to pick out a possible army. Arco-Flagellants seem really good on paper but (2 wounds, +5 invul, D3x2 attacks) but Sisters Repentia have that x2 strength and the -2 AP. Any suggestions on what would be best? Am I a fool for wanting to play SoB in the first place?

What are the most effective terminators vs other marines?

>>53919108
According to the former editor they're as canon as anything else. He hasn't been contradicted yet.

There is no point in using Repentias, unless you are hellbent about using SoB units.

Arco, Acolytes, Crusaders and DCA do repentias work cheaper and better.

Since everyone migrated over here, does anyone know if OOE confers the bonus to itself since it has the Carnifex keyword and can an additional attack be made for each Scything Talon pair on models that have them? I'm really not sure about this and would like to get an answer before I make an ass of myself by getting this wrong.

Can we talk frugal for a bit?

Where do you guys get minis for cheap, other than trawling ebay every few hours? I saw a start collecting crons box for $65 free shipping, but im poor and desperately need some heavy destroyers or a dday ark. Feels bad man

>>53919177
So let's have a rundown of what I've figured out about the various units and their tactical purposes.
> Crusader LR: [Crowd Control Tank] Works great as a solid wall, as well as Crowd Control. This was the MVP of my whole game for keeping infantry pinned down, while also tanking fire for other units.
> Contemptors: [Anti-Elite]. Their High-speed and relatively good firepower meant they could take out elite units.
> Tartaros Terminators: [Anti-Everything]. I had a Tartaros squad equipped with Reaper Autocannon, 2 Chainfists, Plasma Blaster, and Grenade Harness. When paired with a chaplain, they seemed to be almost excessively good at engaging multiple units. I had mine split-fire and charge at a minimum of 4 units at a time. Hellblasters would weaken Deff Dreads and Killa Kanz, while my PB and RAC would finish them off handilly, then the rest of the guns shoot everything else. And they charge nearby units to delete them. With some solid plays, I had a single 5-man terminator squad wiping 2 units out a turn, and once even taking out 3 at a time.

>>53919214
I enjoy talons. No overwatch allows for some good turn 1 combos. They just need a sorc to guarantee the charge.

what is the easiest/laziest way to paint cultists and still have them look decent?

>>53919336
Base coat and a wash or two worked for me. Nothing fancy, but looks fine on the table.

>>53919227
yes to OOE's bonus, and scything talons only give one extra attack if you have two or more pairs, not an extra per talon. the trygon prime has 6 attacks and three pairs of talons, so it gets 7 attacks total for having two or more pairs

>>53919336
Wash Over White.
> Prime White
> Wash with Agrax Earthshade all over
> Wash with Reikland Fleshshade over all their skin.
> Wash with [Colour] Shade of your choice on everything else.
> Put leadbelcher on their weapons
> Nuln oil on Weapons, everything else optional.
And done. You can paint like 100 cultists simultaneously like this in 2 hours, and it looks fairly decent. While at the same time, it's literally impossible to screw up because even a monkey can apply washes.

So now that some time has passed, what are the tier lists looking like now?
Based off browsing people's games and comments, no one really seems to be in the gutter. And only infantry spam guard/nid/ork comes across as over the top.

Aside from that, Tau aren't as bad as people kneejerked, Necrons are tough but have weaknesses like being boring to play unless you like games thrice as long as they should be, so not broken. Orks don't need to whine anymore.

Thanks!

So wtf is up with Warlord Traits... For matched play specifically. Is it on the gamers to decide if they want to use it? If its a tourney at a store is it on the store to decide? Like what are people doin with em.

>>53919402
Corona, the surrounding planets will be staging zones and the wall's not built yet, so the aliens will fight these staging points for Corona.

Also Tau will fight a million lightyears from Konor but will somehow slow down the take over of this system while building their Empire.

>>53919383
Orks are Tier 1, but realistically only if they play a VERY SPECIFIC build, which is just Massed Boyz with Wyrdboyz to teleport them all over the place(mostly into melee). For every other build, they're essentially now middle of the line. I got my ass fucking tabled by a Meganob and dred-mob list as my first ever game of 8th edition, but then I started playing more carefully against orks. Doing stuff like precisely measuring a 22"~ distance to STAY THE FUCK AWAY from every other Ork Unit. Up until later in the game where I can finally start moving out less carefully once the ork army is weakened.

You're pretty much correct in saying that every army seems more or less similar in the tier scale. I personally run ALL-DREADNOUGHT lists, where I have anywhere from 80 to 100% of my models are nothing but dreadnoughts, and I have a roughly 50% winrate with it.

>>53919445
You pick the one you want. But there's literally only three of them atm so there isn't really much to be done with them.

>>53919371
Thanks. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly precludes the bonus from being applied on more than one pair exactly? From what I can read, the bonus attack seems to be available to every instance of the weapon, and if I have read the rules correctly you can attack with as many weapons as you have. Apologies in advance if this is something simple that I'm just too dumb to get.

>>53919459
with melee you get your amount of attacks, split up among the melee weapons on the unit however you choose, its not like "oh fuck i have three pairs of scything talons and 6 attacks, so that means i get 18 attacks"

>>53919467

Your reading comprehension is shit.

>>53919496
I was thinking more that you got to use each talon pair bonus individually and could therefore manage to get 3 additional attacks. Think I get this now, though.

>>53919623
Yes, rangers are straight up inferior.

>>53919182
Arcos are crazy good. Put 9 with a Priest in a Rhino and you get 3x D3 attacks each at WS3+ and S5. They delete hordes and normal infantry.

Death Cult Assassins and Cruaders are also really good. All with Priests of course. Crusaders have a 3++ and can use acts of faith and DCA have 4 attacks at S4 -2AP. DCA and Crusaders will dice up any infantry with higher armor value.

>>53919613
How could you tell?

My shop plays at 50pp.

>>53919623
You can build one 5 man squad as Rangers with a Transuranic Arquebus if you want, but Vanguards are just all around better. The only advantage to Rangers is their longer range but Vanguards dish out a lot more damage.

>>53919669
They're still all around inferior. They aren't bad but they pretty much exist entirely to support a much larger Vanguard force.

I think your Scourge are going to get blasted off the table by heavy bolters because they have no ablative wounds.

>>53919720
Ok, thanks. I was just looking at their stats on the Epub, and other than the range, the vanguards have an extra ability and the power to mortal wound.

>>53919874

Transports aren't mandatory anymore, but razorbacks are still solid choices. All I can say is play what you want and see how it does. Don't become a faggot who can only play "the best" units. Build and PAINT what you have, learn how your army plays, and have fun with it.

Yeah I was worried about not being MSU enough for DE. Basically the plan was to start off with the Reavers and both Raiders in hiding behind terrain and then drop the Scourges on him using the deepstrike rule. I almost always play on a terrain-heavy table but I think that won't save me if my opponent goes horde mode and/or just brings 0 vehicles.

I also have about 20 more Warriors, a Ravager with magnets, 2 Venoms, a Blasterborn squad, and some Wyches but that's about it. I only started playing a few months ago (the Wyches were bought to make conversions but I think I have 10 assembled "Wyches" [with Warrior parts stuck on] and painted).

This is quite shameful. Reaper Autocannons on tartaros termis are fucking Primo. You can just reach out and touch units that are a whopping 48" away from your own squad and pound something else with the big gun.

No, but theres nothing stopping you playing Astral Claws before they went full traitor mode.

In 7th, I dropped a stock Hellbrute inside and the pair was frequently one of my MvPs for the game. The claw caused just enough damage and was just durable enough that it was a problem for my opponent that 100pts felt surprisingly alright, especially since murdertron mcHellbrute got to smash shit.

The first game I used it, I dropped down a punchy flamer brute with a Scourge out of the claw. Both immediately died to AC-PC preds and Las-plas razorbacks. The lack of jink, fly, or any sort of invul makes it 200pts of failure.

Lore-wise thunder hammers are more powerful because unlike other power weapons which are wasting charge constantly keeping on the power field, thunder hammers store it and release it in massive bursts only when they contact.

>>53920253
the bases are the hard part, the bodies can be done with razorback turrets since they fit in the same sized hole.

Nothing wrong with playing for the lore. Hence why Narrative is a thing.

>>53920118

I was also considering doing something like this
>Replace Scourge squads with 1 completely stock squad and 1 mixed 2Blaster/2Heat Lance
>Replace Raider Warriors with 2x Venom (double SCannon), 2x Sybarite with Phantasm Grenade Launcher

Not that much of a difference but at least it'd add a target. Could also mix the Scourge squads together (2 Blasters in one, 2 HL in the other) and take advantage of the split fire rules

Do you think that'd be any better?

But there have been multi-chapter all dread engagements in the lore before.
Best one I remember was during 3rd War for Armageddon when something like 15 dreadnoughts faced down a huge mob of ork walkers.

>>53920111

Either use all of the Malestrom Warders or all of the opposing anti-separatist Chapters, then at least your force makes sense

>>53920522

Modern History was forged by drunken greedy chavs so it's not such a stretch to have an interest in a future written along similar lines

>>53920111
Steel Confessors are a solid choice for All-Dreadnought lists. They worship the Omnissiah directly as their god, and consider becoming a Dreadnought as a holy ritual of ascension, during which an ascendant becomes one with the omnissiah, in mind, body, and soul. They naturally have a SHITLOAD of dreadnoughts.

This is pretty much all the shit I have sans I think another raider and another unit of hellions, which is also why the warriors don't have blasters.

Thoughts? I think the Scythes will get more done than the S9 lances, but it's shorter range, which isn't ideal. My raiders are a mix of Dizzy and Lance because they're pretty nice doing a straight D2. Also, the HQs ride with the wyches if it wasn't obvious. The succubus gets the +1A WL trait.

I've seen plenty of guard discussion, what are you talking about bro

Guard players are too busy stomping on people and painting up more infantry to shitpost on /tg/

>>53920879
I'm waiting for the full codex to really do anything with my guard since my mechanized list doesn't look so hot now that an infantry screen is pretty much required.

>>53920879
Guard is our usual higher mid tier selves. No more AP 5 and 20% points reduction on Infantry Squads means those of us that don't run conscripts have a valid option.

>>53920917
Infantry screens will continue to be required long past a Codex. They designed the meta to require combined arms forces with diverse armies, and Tyranid turn 1 charges are meta-defining which can only be blunted by chaff screens.

>>53920879
They're doing the 7e daemons thing. Stay quiet so GW won't nerf their bullshit.

I can at least hope fire barrels will be a thing again or there will be some way to fuck with charges.

Rightio then.. No mention of weird shit until you brought it up buddy. Back to Commorragh with those fantasies.

>>53921139
I play guard, inquisition and non sisters ministorum. I really like humanity in 40k. I use all kinds of models and I've been trying to work on the lore. Recruiting from prison worlds and feral worlds and having close ties with an Inquisitor to be used on risky missions. Religious themes and redemption. Guard commanders that lead by example on the front lines. Stuff like that.

>>53921139
>GK
My first faction. When the guys and I got into 40k we were trying to represent all the armies. I LOVED the idea of PALADINS IN SPACE.

>Tau
I had originally played them in the "demo match" to see if the group would like 40k. My first roll was with a hammerhead sub-munition railgun. I blew 8 boyz off the table because they were bunched up. I picked them up after rounding out a good 2k of GK because their lore of seemingly being the spark of noblebright within a sea of grimdark was awesome to me. Then came the 7th ed codex...I didn't like saying I played Tau too much because I had to prove I wasn't a Triple Riptide WAACfag every time I wanted to discuss Tau.

>DE
The models are GORGEOUS. The lore is so FUCKING EDGY and ridiculous I love it. They really challenged me to push my painting skills.

My next faction is either some Exorcists Space Marines, some Slaanesh Daemons/EC mixed(if Fulgrim gets a model), or the new race that is rumored to be coming out.

>>53921172
I have that model. It's the ones with armor so no cleavage.

I love the Imperial Guard. I've always loved how humans are relatively weak in 40k compared to other races and factions. It makes it feel all the more epic when an average man with little more than a flak vest on his body and a gun in his hands stands deifant to the end against a horde of nightmarish creatures and xenos. Or fighting DAEMONS with TANKS. I fucking love that shit so much.

>>53921131
Female Guard regiments are extremely rare in-universe. Mixed regiments almost never happen, with the exception of the Catachans and very few others. Female Commisars only go to all-female regiments, since both are rare, as the woman who makes it as a commisar had to have been passed up as a sororitas for some reason.

What's not to love? You've got the tragedy of a fallen empire, the appeal of ANCIENT ALIENS tier technology that nobody else can hope to match, the aesthetic of egyptian terminators in space, tons of feats, everybody fears these fuckers, they're the prime enemy of the race that created most of 40k (and Fantasy, if you buy into that)... and on top of that they still find room to be wacky and fun. Also an excuse to break out the glow-in-the-dark paint.

And, let's be honest. The best bit of 40k fiction so far is really a Necron story masquerading as Inquisition story.

They were my first. Back in 4th when my friend got me into the game, I thought an army of Joan of Arcs with all of the fire would be sweet. I was right. Over the years, I've gotten about 2500ish points worth of pure sisters, not including the Avenger. I've given up on plastic, though.

>Daemons
In 5th, I picked up daemons because no one in my group played them, and I thought they looked like fun. I went with Tzeentch, and once again, I was right. I had about 40 horrors in a mix of metal and plastic (that was a lot back then), some flamers, a LoC, 2 princes, a shitty chariot conversion, and a handful of screamers by the time my shop closed some time after 6th edition. I found another during 7th and found I couldn't even enjoy playing them anymore. 8th is a step in the right direction, but they're actually just garbage now.

I remember wanting to get them when the 5th release happened, but I just didn't have the money. The models were awesome and the rules looked fun. I bought them years later at the new shop because I could finally spare the cash.

>CSM - Night Lords
The person who got me into 40k played CSM, but he played EC. I remember him examining the legions to me and I thought night lords were hilarious by his description. Years later, I got some insane deals on the HH sets, so I figured fuck it. Why not? They're a bit of a paint project for me because I don't want to fuck up the lightning bolts, and I think I've been doing alright so far. I love my shitty batmans.

>>53921139
I play Orks because I love mad max, and I love even more the massive hopelessly huge armies out of the LOTR movies

I always dreamed of having a horde that would sit on one end of the horizon to the next, iron shod boots stomping in the name of destruction and conquest.

sandblasted fremen marines who drain the moisture from every tyranid they kill, fight heavily with melee weapons as each bolt round is an expensive waste

It hurts to be mech guard knowing what happened to my tanks and that my guns stop firing if something stands in front of the barrel. I'll just have to adapt, be happy Conscripts are platoon-free and still 3ppm then wait for my FW Index to arrive to see if Lemans have any remaining value with turret weapons over 24".

>>53921553
The Big Meks are in the Nauts, the Nauts are actually the models with the shields, giving themselves AND the boyz a yuge 5+ blanket

>>53921510
And now Cadia is fucked. What did we learn about women in the military today boys and girls? That's right! Put women in your military and get your entire empire torn in 2.

Not him, but he makes a good point about female commissars. There had to be a reason she's not a Sororitas since they're plucked from the same pool. I'd imagine that most of the Schola guardsmen would also be Sororitas as well, which would account for a chunk of female guardsmen. The fact that the Sororitas exist at all is actually a good reason for there being fewer guardsmen. It's not that there aren't women soldiers, it's that there's a specific place for women soldiers, who also get better gear and/or non combat roles that are far more important than a single guardswomen such as someone in the Ordo Hospitalar.

>>53921594
I guess you managed to fit all those boyz under their 9 inch shield. Seeing as the entire unit needs to be under to get the invul save.

Sure everyone tried to kill the naughts first and either get swarmed by boyz or just mega punched.

>>53921570
Yeah, Russes got tougher but man did they knock the teeth out of them.
The battlecannon was a decent anti-heavy infantry gun that was serviceable against light and medium armor. Now it's just kind of meh at every job. Not decent like a jack-of-all-trades should be, just meh.
And the exterminator auto cannon getting nerfed by caviat of losing twin-linked without getting the double shots makes it a shit option compared to other choices.
If you're not fielding Pask and/or tank commanders LRs just seem like balls. Tough but not a big enough threat to warrant being tough.

Can't fight well against bad and hamfisted writing famalam.

I'd say a successful track record of 10,000 years is a pretty solid argument to the contrary. Hell they had to retcon the previous Black Crusades just to make it seem like old Abby wasn't constantly getting his teeth punched in by Cadia on a regular basis.

Hows this look for a starter list for Raven Guard? I just want it to be a basic force that can go into anything reasonably well, at least not get curbstomped.

>>53921672
Sure but that is kind of the problem. You can almost ignore them now which ruins the point of being tough. They are not like a distraction carnifex that draw fire because if left alone is going to fuck something up. You would only ever focus one down in the off thane the IG player rolls really well instead of average.

Why is a tac squad wandering around without a Rhino?

Some questions about Ork
-Is there ever a reason you wouldn't take a squig hound on a runtherd? Without it I feel like they have gigantic morale issues.
-Is two Painboyz overkill? I think it's would make it easier for the boyz to be more spread out, but still.
-What should I look into for another HQ: Big Mek with KFF or a Weirdboy? I'm thinking a Weirdboy cause I have zero transports.

>>53921710
Oh I agree, just saying that GW seems to think T8 is extremely powerful over T7, enough to justify their cost. Though I guess they also recognize they lack bite since their cost didn't go up as much as some other vehicles.

It feels weird considering I also play AdMech and Dunecrawlers with Neutron Lasers fuck shit up, have an invlun, and are still fairly survivable while being cheaper than a battle cannon Russ.

The new Lemartes book has a female commisar present with the Mordian Iron Guard

Not that she is particularly needed in said book but she has a good effect on the commander (his actual title and name escape me)

Anyone know a good recaster for SoB shit? I'm not looking for contact info, btw. I have a bunch.

The one I usually go to doesn't have repressors and his SoB minis are almost as expensive as GWs models. Z has repressors and $5 minis, but apparently his SoB minis are straight dog shit. CCoN just had a sale, so I'd like to not wait 6 months for an order. MI doesn't have any, so I can't even use her. Alpharius might, actually, but I'm 99% sure he doesn't have repressors.

What happened to the Exterminator is a crime, they were a common tank in my army and now I feel I need sponson weapons to make up for lost firepower. It makes me want to convert those guns into Lascannons to run Annihilators and hope I can find use in my Vanquishers through co-axials and Beast Hunter Shells.

Right now I feel like running only Pask and tank commanders due to the non-turret BS penalty on top of all this but its hard to justify the point cost on a tank that's already expensive with the upgrades I feel are necessary now.

I like that they have no inhibitions, and are so fucking competent that they steal suns, hive fleets, and everything else in the galaxy. I also enjoy the cartoonishly evil nature of their exploits.

I like that they're warriors whose faith is so strong they actually manifest miracles. I think agnosticism sucks, but I can't find a logical reason to believe one over the other. So that faith they have really appeals to me.

I like the nobler sides of the chaos gods: Acceptance, Hope, and Perfectionism. Their models are also really fucking cool.

They must be, because they've rigged the contest for the ultramarines. IIRC you get points for just showing up with ultramarine models.

First army back in 3rd. I like their shoot-n-scoot target priority game and combined arms style that I noticed kind of faded a bit. I still use XV15s.
>Space Marines
Started a homebrew chapter I quickly found out was Crimson Fists but white. So I went Fists and never looked back. Now there's almost a company and half of them are hand me downs and strip jobs. I'd do a big spearhead strike with a crusader with pedro with rhinos flanking, assault squad behind. Pedro's aura was bonkers and he could just blow kisses from the Crusader, and the more marines you took the better it was. Whirlwinds are probably my favorite unit, I love those guys. I am jealous of Griffons. I played mech like everyone in 5th, and I liked the almost naval playstyle it has. I do not miss razorback spam though.
>Orks
Black Reach was a hell of a deal man. Settled on Blood Axes with Kommandos and Koptas and Big Gunz and such. Modeling is my favorite thing about them, since I usually got my ass beat. Had my Warboss chew through 30 marines and a dread once. He's also died to an exploding objective.
>Dark Eldar
The new models were really cool at the time. I joined a frat and they fucked up my transports, so they're sitting until I figure out 8th. I liked their high speed and Do or Die playstyle.

Primarily to be Jacks of all trades and support those with more specialist roles. For example, finishing off a mostly destroyed unit during the shooting phase or absorbing over watch fire for a dedicated assault unit.
