What's the most special characters you've seen crammed into a list? Everyone here appears to just like to add as many as physically possible, especially the BA players with Sanguinor/Dante/Corbulo/Mephy superunits in 7e.
Personally I love playing against chracterspam, since I can blast the shit out of them and if I lose I lose nothing. The more snowflake people make their fluff the more I enjoy shooting their snowflakes with random chumps, but everyone else seems to be really into herohammer and GW's "everyone into the wrestling ring, fuck the war" style of writing.

Pretend the maulerfiends are blood slaughterers (they cost one less point) with two slaughter blades each.

The Heldrake, Chaos Lord and Termiators cause disruption and blow up major sources of anti-vehicle and general spooky things my Zerkers can't deal with effectively. The rest of the army charges forward and rapes everything to death so hard it isn't even funny.

Only read Azrael. Wasnt bad if you like Dark Angels, explores so cool themes with them.

>>53929131
A better list. For starters, switch those melee CSM for some Khorne Berzerkers, you're getting a unit that can casually brutalize anything that doesn't have a 3++ invuln while only costing 17ppm with chainaxes.

Second, never take only one Maulerfiend. Dinobots should always be taken in pairs. Also save the points for the Daemonettes so you can summon them because they're too fragile to just run up the board.

Marines are more of an all-around option. If you want to focus in CC you should go with berserkers as >>53929234 mentioned. Alternatively, a helbrute makes a decent distraction carnifex instead of the daemonettes, and you could pad out your force with a big blob of cultists. They're a fair number of attacks for basically peanuts. Ultimately you need to get more specialized melee equipment into your opponent's face - warp talons or raptors would be good too.

Plus two ruins, some plastic multi part palm tries, multi part barricada and multi part barrels.

5 attacks per boy hitting on 2s and wounding on 4s, seems like a pretty points-efficient method of overwhelming their 2+ save. There's also meganobs to run their opposite number against them, just make sure to activate first.

>>
>>53929009
Not wasted at all. Wulfen are very, very strong. Either use them whenever you get to larger games or consider swapping them in for other stuff as a change of pace. But yes, you'd be better off with a quad las predator or some Long Fangs for anti-vehicle duty.
>>
>>53929561
True, I was pretty surprised that there was nothing in there. I stopped playing after 3rd edition, but followed from time to time. It seemed like many of the other starters had some sort of terrain in there (like the crashed lander from Battle for Macragge)
>>
>>53929549
A transport would definitely help. If you're solely looking for the offensive ability to rip open kanz, you can take regular nobs with claws for a bit cheaper. Either way, they've gotta get where they're going by trukk or battlewagon.

Run the Repentias as literally any other melee unit.
Crusaders, DCA, Arco-fags or Acolytes. Even a bloody PE would be better.

You see beside the PE in a full squad every other option is cheaper and better.
The only time when Repentias would be good is when you know there is 1+ Knight like model in the enemy army

>>53929512

I dunno, Zhufor lacks Kharn's attack twice rule, and his weapons are worse than gorechild.

Armour save is worse, but Kharn's been fucked in that regard since the good days.

Also, because of retarded reasons, your zerkers cant be troops in a skulltakers list, so theres less tactical flexibility.

Agree that he's a strong character though

Starter set sprues often mix the different units together on the sprues to a certain degree to pack them as tightly as possible.

They have made other new Death Guard that will be available separately, and are likely much more posable, but they just haven't been released yet.

Had my 4th game today, 1500p of Orks vs. Death Guard.
I've been experimenting a little on how to play Orks without fielding any boyz and following a simple "toyz before boyz" ideal.
I had
>1x Morkanaut with 3 Meganobz (Power Klaw, Skorcha) inside of it and KFF
>1 Mek following and repairing the Morkanaut
>1 Gorkanaut with a Big Mek in Mega armor inside of it, my general
>Badrukk with 3 ammo runtz
>10 Flash Gitz
That's it. Played objectives against
>20x Poxwalkers
>20x Poxwalkers
>A land raider (2 TL Lascannons and meltaguns) with 9 DG marines and a Lord of Chaos
>A lord of contagion
>1 Helbrute
>3 Obliterators.
Pretty uneventful first two turns, besides for the Gorkanaut saving like 3 lascannon wounds on a 5+, the poxwalkers running to the objectives, the three Obliteratos wounding the Morka and the Helbrute failing a charge against it.

I got two objectives, one with the Mek and one with Badrukk + the Flash Gitz. And Badrukk shot down the Helbrute too. Meganobz came out of the Morkanaut belly who charged and killed the obliterators, and burned the poxwalkers to a crisp before charging them and finishing them off (They were already decimated by a turn of Morka fire). Meanwhile the Flash Gitz cleared the major objective controlled by the other 20 poxwalkers.

Those zombies are no joke, no battleshock and 5+ invul makes them really resilient objective holders, no shit.
>>
>>53928930

It screws you over by including a full hardback rulebook which jacks the price up, so no.

Hell the model count isn't even all that great after you factor in that half the kit is plague zombies.
>>
>>53929778
Zhufor's weapons are not weaker, except for maybe the ranged ones. Gorechild is wounding most characters on 3s anyway, but does a miserable D3 damage while the Skulltaker axe does a guaranteed 2 damage that becomes a 3 on 6s to wound. Since AP is irrelevant on characters because of invulns, Zhufor's axe is objectively better. I kek at how what is supossedly a Primarch's repaired axe is actually one of the worst unique weapons in the game.

Also Kharn's ability is nearly worthless, since anyone can simply spend two command points to destroy him before he gets his second row of attacks. Also still hits his comrades and can't reroll ones in melee with his ability. Meanwhile, Zhufor can deny the witch, has the standard reroll 1s ability and makes morale tests around him harder.
>>
>>53929851
Wait, does this mean you can take a Greater Slaughterer of Khorne in your tsons list?
>>
>>53929890


Gorkanaut then charges the Land Raiders and managed to put 11 wounds on it (Saved on 3s and saved two wounds sadly), lets the marine and the hero down, shoots, charges and puts 8 wounds on me. Lord of Contagion or whatever deepstrikes but fails a charge on the Meganobz who can now charge him, kill him and get to the objective.

By the end of the 4th turn I control three objectives, killed his general, got incursion and first blood points. All he has left is two tac marines and a severely wounded Land Raider.
Still he managed to blow up my Morkanaut that explodes on a 6 and well... it exploded. Killing my general inside of it on a roll of a 1, inflicting three unsaved mortal wounds on the two marines, and 5 wounds on the land raider who finally exploded.
So I won by objectives, points and wipeout. Wiping out what was left by exploding.
Had a really fun game overall and I'm achieving a lot from this list even though everyone told me I should play a fuckton of boyz and trukks (Which to be honest I don't like that much)

It likely would not be cheesey to do so. How big is your overall force? At-present Riptides are actually a little overcosted if anything, so your opponent shouldn't have reason to complain. Stormsurge is a good deal but not a fantastic one.

The full squad of DW knights ended up wrecking his 8 man Berzerker squad and that was before Belial and the Apothecary joined the fight. By the end of the game the only units he had left on the board were 2 Rhinos. He still won though because Maelstrom is gay.

Your chapter's initiation ritual should be you get handed a suit of scout armour and a Chainsword and if you survive the mission you get poured into a dreadnought.
>>
>>53929906

Good points, but I disagree about Kharn's ability being worthless. Even if the opponent does use the command points to counter, I think in a real game situation having enough strong counter units about to hit Kharn is something a good player can avoid with good positioning of who ever's babysitting Kharn, but also even if you force them to use it on Kharn, that's another unit which is safe. It's like saying a rhino is worthless because it can be killed with AT, well yes that's the way the game works . But the game is also about resources, and Kharn's ability forcing your opponent to commit resources in itself if a success, even if I personal think your fear over it is overblown.

That's my thought as well. Relatively few weapon options per unit, and relative lack of annoying special rules that require me repeatedly editing the formula are big helps. I ended up changing the formula on the CWEldar page-wide to accomodate the Shuriken's alternate AP on 6's to-wound so I didn't have to manually enter that every time it came up.

>charging two-wound 3++ models with only 8 berzerkers
That was his problem. Even 10 only kill two on average, Kharn is worthless so he should have charged with a second squad instead.

>>53930008
You don't get it, do you? Kharn is about as expensive as a 10-man berzerker squad with less damage output and durability. You are literally wasting points on an HQ with no significant buffs that can be very easily neutralized just by spending two command points, while such a tactic does not work on Zhufor or hell, on most melee characters because they get their full firepower in one round, while ALSO having significantly better durability, actual buffs, and not hitting your fucking troops on 1s.

It's probably more about the moving-while-shooting now in general than the shooting-while-encumbered.

I mean, no matter how stable the platform is, it's just harder to target something while you're moving fast unless you have a sophisticated targeting computer. Which I think Tau and Eldar can get(?)

Threw together a list of Harlequins I have laying around, either built or on sprue.In total, I have 5 boxes of Troupes, 10 of which are built with Kisses. The only malleable things here are 1 of the Troupe Masters, 10 of the stock Troupe dudes, and the Voidweaver.

>>53930847
While diverging from the theme, I'm thinking a unit of really TOUGH bastards (2+ ogryns or something) would be hilarious to take. Everything else is a character, so most everything HAS to shoot at the one non-character unit.

Does anybody think its possible to speed paint or dip the Adeptus Mechanicus?
>>
>>53930945
Those twelve pages are only like 1/3rd of the pages you need for matched play.

But they are a decent teaser to get an idea about how 8th edition works.
>>
>>53928923
All startes have micropenis
>>
So I am reading the rules, it says:
>To include a particular Detachment in your army, simply organise some or all of your units so that they fit within the restrictions and limitations detailed for that particular Detachment.

And then each detachment has:
>Restrictions: All units must be from the same Faction.

But I can't find anywhere that says I can't take two detachments that are of different factions. The faction restriction only applies to the detachment, not the army at whole.

Does this mean I could just use Auxiliary detachments to add any unit I want, or have two detachments of different factions?
>>
>>53930990
Nope. Admech is only for people who put in time and effort to their painting. If you aren't one of them then the Omnissiah does not want you.
>>
>>53930945
Yeah. People should stop looking for differences and jus ttreat 8th as a whole new game and just re-learn the rules.

Comparing "differences" is how you get shit like "do I still get +1A for 2ccw/charging/etc", "where do i find initiative", and "I don't have enough troops to fill out force org slots".
>>
>>53930990
If you want to dip it's Tau or Tyranids for you. Or all Helmeted Spess Mahrines.

>>53931009
>Does this mean I could just use Auxiliary detachments to add any unit I want, or have two detachments of different factions?

That's my understanding. You can make a detachment with Primaris Marines and another with Heretic Astartes and a third one with Orks and the army would be legal, as long as each detachment only has units that share at least one faction keyword.
>>
>>53931010
I kinda wish my first set was Admech, It would have forced me to get good at painting faster. Im quite satisfied with what I have right now as far as my painting goes on my Necrons, but I feel Admech would have forced me into better quality.
>>
>>53931037
Neutron laser obviously
>>
>>53930990
No, admech are too detailed. You really need to put effort into painting them to avoid thme looking like complete trash, same with harlequins.
>>
>>53930686
I'm thinking of sticking with multilasers for this ed, although now that they're cheaper and I can fire safely, tempted by plasma cannons. But I use Sentinels as shooty back-area patrollers. (-1 to hit while moving does suck though).

yeah shrikes are flying warriors that dont suck (but nobody took them cause of instant death in previous eds)

>>53931134
What is of mild interest to me is the fallen, which is a CSM model with the IMPERIUM faction keyword. They look like they could be good models. They are space marines but the whole squad can take heavy weapons and/or combi weapons (in a specific combination), and I really like the new combi rules.

No, the 40k rules are highly abstract. And the new system is way better than the old vehicle firing restrictions. If being a stable weapons platform is important to the identity of a model it can and usually does have a rule to address it.

the neutron laser isnt cheap, but it works well against high toughness/high wounds models

the icarrus array works well against eldar and tau, but it is too situational

the Twin heavy phosphor works well against hords, but so do vanguards, so you dont need it

the eradication thingy is pretty cheap and works okay against every target, but it isnt that great.

If you have the points to spare, then listen to that other anon and take the neutron laser, if not then take the Twin heavy phosphr blaster

So I played two games on saturday. They were not very interesting to report on, but I want to say the following. First of all, let me say this: I was running the green tide well back into 6th edition so this was not a FoTM thing.

Anyway, I played two games where over half of my point cost was boys in both games, and I just pretty much ran over my opponent. Orks feel completely unbeatable in the fight phase right now. In both games I pretty much just washed over my opponent and they conceded/tabled on turn 3. One was a game against blood angels and one was a game against chaos daemons.

I'm running a waagh star which is two squads of boys, 19 choppa 10 shoota in each squad (with a PK nob obviously), with the two squads flanking a group of HQ aura buffs (the important thing is the warboss and a waagh banner nob, but I was able to afford painboys in the bigger point game too).

This group of boys + hqs / elites in the center becomes a repeatable template that you can bring more of, but on a standard table I couldn't imagine bringing more than 3 of them.

If I would have had the points for him, ghazgul would have been worth it too. Anyway, 4 attacks per boy hitting on 2+ is absolutely fucking gross and you pulp everything in a single charge. Terminators, daemon princes, whatever.

Brought a weirdboy in the 2nd game but never got to manifest anything but smite as warpath was repeatedly failed in spite of only being able to fail on a roll of 2-3. If you managed warpath to stick that would even be 6 attacks.

What sort of weapon should an nob use to show he's using a power stabba. Someone said it was the harpoon looking cybrok bit that came in the box.

WRONG.

>"If a datasheet does not list any melee weapons, the model is assumed to fight with a close combat weapon"

A dakkafex that trades both it's cannons still has it's thresher tail, which is a S4 CCW. It has a melee weapon and can't use the "default" one.

I am guessing this is to stop Dakkafexes being too good without shelling points for the bone mace

Blood claws are nice because they're cheap for the volume of attacks you get. That works best with larger squad sizes. 5 blood claws won't do nothing, but their impact will be fairly limited. You may decide that for smaller games that's okay.

>Things I have never said: the post
I'm certain there are plenty of businesses that are benefiting from the current situation. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to sustain this even after the actual Brexit will have kicked in, but I digress.

My point is that businesses, who can exploit financial fluctuations to their advantage, CAN benefit from Brexit, so can banks. On the other hand, people like farmers and... Well, not businesses, especially not big businesses, have quite limited chances of getting anything out of it. They're more likely to lose money, some more than others.

Sure, the top 1% is getting richer, good thing governments exist to make the top 1% richer, right?

>Because GW is a british company that sells to an international market. Not a european company that sells to an international market.
But if Britain goes down the shitter (and I hope it doesn't) GW WILL be affected. Granted, being a business they can relocate with little difficulties, but still.

I haven't actually played yet, but Grey Hunters still look like they're the go-to choice:
1. Chainswords on all your dudes cost 0 extra points.
2. Can get Plasmagun / Plasmapistol / Combi-melta in a 5 man squad. If you go full 10 man (or 9 Grey Hunters and add either a Wolf Guard Pack Leader or a WGPL in Terminator armor), you can get an extra flamer/plasma/melta for the squad, and ANOTHER for the WGPL via a Combiweapon.

3. Ld. 8 with a WGPL/WGPLiTA, so you can MSU somewhat effectively.

You can go cheapo MSU for 70 points for 5 dudes with Bolter/Bolt Pistol/Chainsword. A WGPL costs the same as another Grey Hunter, so you should always add one first, IMO.

You don't know how much they're making but you just assume it's not enough.
The employees there have autonomy and entered into a legal and willing agreement to be paid X amount for Y services. If they don't like it they are free to leave.

Not quite the same when a 15 man Blood Claw pack used to be able to get special CCWs on 3 regular Claws, the Pack Leader AND then add a WGPL. Now they can't give a special CCW to even a single ordinary Blood Claw. Just the Pack Leader and/or a WGPL.

Yes. So far I have that they were almost wiped out by Tzeenchian demons early on after their founding and have developed rituals and idiosyncrasies because of it, to guard themselves against corruption. Demons have since become their preferred enemies

They aren't Grey Knights. They tred the line between utter loyalty and corruption but they are certainly heretical. Their traditions and rituals help keep them on the right side of the line

Rainbow Warriors, but those are more Aztec/Mayan. As for something more North American, the Carcharodons just tattoo their armor up in symbols that are kind of like Inuit designs, but otherwise you could go full Blood Jaguars and Totem Pole that shit up, just remember that the most important figure of the Totem Pole is the one at the bottom, who holds up all the rest. In this instance, it'd probably be a depiction of the Throne or Emperor.

If we're going more woodlands Indians, take some inspiration from Inq28's Black Sloth Hell designs. But honestly, plains and pueblo Indians I find much more fascinating; this is where the Anasazi are from, and the geometric and highly stylized aesthetics of those tribes from that area appeal to me.

Trukk Squids have always had the problem of not benefiting from Mob Rule. In fact it's better now because if you have a 30 strong boy squad within 6", each boy technically has 30 Leadership (since no cap anymore) and the stormboyz can use that leadership instead.

Either buy the boxes in bulk, or just slowly gather your boyz over time.

I first started with the 20 boyz from Assault on Blackreach and gathered enough to make another squad of twenty. Then I learned that 30 boyz squad works or I can have 3 of 20.

With the new meta and more collecting, I now use three full squads of boyz because fuck it, shoving a metric fuck ton of models down someone's throat looks funny to me.

More like renegades and heretics. Run the little guys as a mutant rabble and the big guys as renegade/plague ogryn - which used to have some sort of drill option.

Sadly that's the reaction most of my group has towards maelstrom of war missions.

The Trukk Boys box is a good deal and it will let you get a bunch of Trukks and/or parts for converting other vehicles. There's always eBay too if you're just looking for a pile of boyz.

Why you don't focus on objective and just focus on tabling your opponent.

They can't win by points of I destroy the entire army.

So, uh, what's your armour save?

Yes

Nice

>>53933520
Most named space marines have artificer armor anyway, so it's probably a 2+

Flamer in squads meant to assault or get over watched

Plasma for long range

Melta for tanks

Grav and combi grav are inferior to plasma on average, only cannon is good. Grav does more damage if all shots hit and wound but lose out on range and overcharge strength

going to warhammer world tomorrow, going to see if I can get a look at the two unreleased FW indexes. Probably can't get pictures, but I will make a note of what information I can. What are you guys most interested in knowing about? (from the AM and Xenos indexes only)
>>
>>53933749
Eldar corsairs. What do their unit entries look like.

Mostly because the army list seems to be abolished, and I want to know what I have to work with.

Most importantly, their keywords, because how they interact with proxy-characters' auras, and transports is important to me.
>>
>>53933749
stats of the ork supa kannon and lifta droppa
also squiggoths

if you get this informaishun, you getz to become a kommando and raid da humie fortress wiv us

Alright, so Orks are pretty strong. I think I will still struggle with riptides though. What are our best options? Melee isn't great unless they can be killed in a single fight phase. A squad of dreds might be able to do just that. I don't want to run anything bigger than dreds though, because I don't want to. Tankbustas would be an idea but they care about vehicles and sadly, the riptide isn't a vehicle. Any other options?
>>
>>53934202
lmao does it actually not have the vehicle keyword?

just run a couple of bikernobz with klaws into it and KRUMP IT

what ive heard so far about the riptide tho is that its super pricey for not a lot of firepower so i wouldnt sweat too much when facing it
>>
>>53934246
indeed, riptides are MONSTERs. I am not terribly concerned about the riptide's lethality. I know they are more pricy and less lethal than they were in 7th. I just want to be able to bring something to hunt them down because I know i'll be facing them in my store.

If I can assemble a squad that isn't too expensive that can consistently knock 1/2-2/3 of the wounds off of them in a single fight phase, I'll be happy, because that's where they start degrading.
>>
>>53934202
Can still use tankbustas on it. If not use something grot powered like kannons or killa kans with rokkits.
>>
>>53934371
kans with rockets, that's an idea. I'll do some math to see where the points value is on that. If the kan's body is too expensive it's still better to just have crappy bs5 in most cases.
>>
>>53934337
snikrot and a bunch of kommandos can probably mess it up real good too (if the tau player is retarded and doesnt wrap his shit)

also shoot it with Badrukk (supercharge + 3 ammo runts) - with a bit of luck thats 9 wounds down a turn
>>
>>53934337
>a squad that isn't too expensive that can consistently knock 1/2-2/3 of the wounds off of them in a single fight phase

Can Stormboyz do it? They're like, just 2pts more than a regular ork, right? Should be almost as cost-efficient especially with a klaw nob.
