Wow so Renegades got the royal shaft for 8th. All around shittier than Guard, mostly the exact same points costs. No discounts for their abysmal BS like in 7th.

With how poorly edited the indexes are and with literally every other unit being roughly 1 power = 20 points, I can almost guarantee that it's a typo and they're supposed to be 190.

So, Heirophant, Malanthrope, 2x3 rippers, 1x4 rippers.

Malanthrope sits behind the Heirophant while it's making 2 units per turn liquid. Rippers go for objectives starting turn 3.

What beats this? Titan can only kill 3 units a turn, so I guess that helps.
>>
>>53956378
It's also an order for regular IG

Crusher Carnifex is pretty amazing. It's exactly the same as a regular Carnifex except with two pairs of Wrecking Claws instead of Monstrous ScyTals, and it does D3 mortal Wounds on a 4+ when charging against vehicles/buildings.

Wrecking Claws are the same as Crushing Claws except no -1 to hit, D6 damage instead of flat 3, and they re-roll hits and wounds vs vehicles/buildings with two pairs. One pair re-rolls Wounds only.

>Duty unto death!
This is the order you use the turn you plan to charge in, since they won't gain the benefit of "Without Mercy" or "Fix Bayonets!" until after the first turn of combat. I think this order is both cool and functional. Plus the name is metal.

>Without Mercy
I think this is only really relevant if the squad that is in combat is grenadiers or something else with hot shots. "Fix Bayonets!" has the upper hand though in my opinion. Neat idea and cool call back to the original DKoK rules.

>Forwards, for the Emperor!
Same as AM, I think this is very good.

>Get back into the Fight!
Same as AM, also very good.

>Move! Move! Move!
Same as AM, your boys become sonic!

>Fix Bayonets!
I think this is will be the most used order for DKoK if they have a global 3+ to hit, the only thing holding this order back is that most of your boys might die on the turn they charge in (for the Emperor, of course!).

Overall, I wish they didn't remove "First Rank, Second Rank" but it makes sense fluff wise why they may not have it. I think "Without Mercy" is "Fix Bayonets!" are at odds with one another since you can only order one unit once. I wish "Without Mercy" changed all Rapid Fire weapons to Pistol, I think then it would be a lot better.

I'd love to know how many Manta's FW has sold in total ever.

The number is probably less than 10. That model is like $2000 and no one gives a shit about tau heavy drop ships. At least titans are iconic, so I'm sure they sell pretty well.

Long time renegade player here, super disappointing anon. Covenants are alright I guess, Khorne adds 1 to S on the charge, Nurgle is a 6+ invul against S:4 or lower so shit, Slannesh is 3d6 charges taking the two highest, and Tzeentch is +1 to BS on overwatch. Uncertain worth works the same, in that you roll once you take you'r first test, but it is ONLY D6+2, so you can have a minimum of 3. Militia training isn't even a thing anymore. Also it just feels so lifeless, Guard do our horde job so much easier now, there is no reason to play them really. Only interesting thing is the marauder squads who still have their choice to specialize as Stealthy, Killy, or get Carapace Armour Btw, that is the only way to get carapace now

It's a huge let down for me anon, also the death of Demagogues and their devotions is super sad. I miss my Bloody Handed Reavers already. Also Enforcers are literally just Commissars who kill D3 people instead of 1.

I'm sorry anon. The book is so bland, which I guess is the new theme of 8th I guess.

I'm pretty sure this is all we are going to get for a long time, till Imperium or maybe chaos get another book and we get lumped in.

Pic related is the list of Guard units they can take, and I know the quality sucks, bad epub, but basically it's every guard vehicle ever, so no, you can't bring any actual guard to represent a PDF force or a Bloody Reavers force, the closest we get to that now is Militia squads, which are overcosted conscripts who can take special weapons and Vox casters.If you want any more screen shots just ask anon .To take these you replace the Imperium keyword with Chaos, and instead of the <Regiment> you just are <Renegades and Heretics>.

It's pretty depressing. I think I am just going to run mine as regular guard.

So it would appear. I'm glad I didn't pay for a copy. Also I'm curious how this rule is going to work, because as I read it I could just move my model back and forth without actually going anywhere to activate this ability. If it's actually how far you ended up from your point of origin, that messes with moving around scenery and stuff. Easy enough to interpret as it was intended, but I can see this being a sticking point for RAW players.

They don't have anything metal anymore. They sell resin versions of those molds now.

Any new things that come out will be done in plastic but don't hold your breath for them to update old shit when they've got tons of brand new releases to get through first.

Rules will be included in the boxes now, but only for things that are coming out now post 8th, and they won't include the points.

That isn't true, guard regiments are still metal. Tallarns, Vostroyans, Valhallans, Steel Legion, Mordians, and tons of weird guard units and characters are all metal.

Adobe is different. Apple dropped adobe support so there's no way adobe would have a botnet because they need all the support they can get to keep people using their products.

>>53957337
Well the good news is HH will probably be fucking dead soon now that it's not compatible with regular 40k anymore. Half the reason that game was successful was because people could port the legion rules or mechanicum rules over and play against their buddies Orks or Tau or whatever at the LGS. Now their pool of players is restricted only to other HH guys and it will probably increasingly shrink, going the way of the old specialist games like BFG and Epic. Once that happens, FW will realize they can't keep being retards about their 8th edition rules and they'll have to actually put some fucking effort in.

Same reason they dropped specialist games, they thought they could handle the load but it was too much for them. Probably the same reason why Black Templars were rolled back into the main codex.

5th edition was the time where GW realized they werent big enough to have all these armies, specialist games and codexes AND manage them all in a reasonable ammount of time. The Chapter House debacle was probably a huge wake up call that they had to step it up and they did in 6th and updated all armies and gave them all new models.

There are no more allies. Your army is all of the models you bring to that match, across all of your Detachments. It says you cannot include X restricted guys in an Ynnari army. If you include them in your army, at all, in any Detachment, then you are not an Ynnari army, nothing gains the Ynnari keyword or the Strength from Death special rule.

Show me where this made up "army" definition is in the rulebook. Because as far as the BRB is concerned, all you need is a single common faction keyword. You don't lose AELDARI when you turn your viable units into YNNARI.

Does this look like a good list to run? These are just with the models I have, so I'm not really going to change anything at the moment other than wargear configurations. I just want a nice, basic army to use for my first time playing the game.

Combi-flamers for the sergeants instead of combi-melta because of the fact that flamers automatically hit, and you can fire both parts of a combi-weapon with a -1 to hit, so basically there's no reason not to always fire both parts of a combi-flamer since the flame part is what's important, while you also get two extra bolter shots at BS 4+ (because bolters would be at half range whenever anything is close enough to be flamered)

>>53957723

>>53957725
It has nothing to do with losing the AELDARI keyword which you just made up no one even said that happened, and everything to do with the rules for YNNARI in the Xenos 1 index.

You cannot gain the YNNARI Keyword in the first place, unless every unit in your army has AELDARI and IS NOT one of the restricted units. If you bring any of those restricted things, you do not gain YNNARI. You stay as AELDARI. You get no Strength From Death.
>>
Thanks for the Revenant, can you show the Skathach wraithknight please
>>
>>53957772
Restricted units cannot gain the YNNARI keyword, everyone else - which happens to be in your AELDARI army - can gain it. So you have a mix of YNNARI and AELDARI units. The restricted units just don't get to Soulburst.

No, it doesn't say the restricted units don't gain the keyword, read the fucking rules. It says any units except the restricted units can be included in an Ynnari army, and if they are, they gain the YNNARI keyword.

If you include any of the restricted units, you are not an Ynnari army, because that's illegal, so nothing gains the keyword.

The Malanthrope, Dimachaeron, and Stone Crusher Carnifexes all look like great, viable units. The Hierodules are genuine Knight equivalents now and our Hierophant can actually kill Titans now. But the odd-one-out is the Harridan. Its double the points of a Barbed Hierodule but it doesn't bring anything to justify the doubling in points. Its actually kinda really bad, pic related.

Had my first 8th edition game today. I expected to play 2000 points, but we ended up playing 1000. I've been building a lot of models lately so I wanted to try them out and said screw it, and played with all the ones I've built in the past week.

I brought 30 Conscripts, 6 Bullgryn, 9 Crusaders, 9 Death Cult Assassins, 2 Priests, 2 Commanders, 2 Commissars, 2 infantry squads and 5 Rough Riders. For the record I built 9 of each so I could ride them with a Priest in a Rhino, but due to our points, I gave up the Rhinos.

He brought a Maulerfiend, 20 Cultists, 5 Terminators, a Psyker terminator, a Chaos lord, a Rhino, 2 squads of Chaos Marines and 5 Raptors.

Highlights of the game were Bullgryn smashing around the field in a conga line of muscle. They killed the Maulerfiend, the last half of the Cultists, most of the Marines and the Lord, though they had hilarious trouble with the Lord due to bad rolling and good saves on his part. Death Cult girls died right away after failing a charge and it was loads of fun watching the Conscripts First Rank Second Rank Fire and Move Move Move. Crusaders were stupid tanky, but he only had Smite in terms of mortal wounds and I got them into close combat with the Terminators fast thanks to acts of faith.

The final highlight that tickles me was the Raptors putting around 7-8 wounds on a Priest. I thought it would be fun to roll 1 at a time for dramatic tension and I ended up rolling 3 1's and a 2.
>>
>>53957822
You read the fucking rules. An "YNNARI army" with AELDARI is still legal because they share a common faction keyword, despite your made-up army definition. The restricted units are still AELDARI, next to their YNNARI-AELDARI bros.

Renegades are pretty much dead as a faction. They used to be slightly cheaper and slightly worse than guard with a chance to have better or worse leadership - now they're the same price, flatly worse and have worse leadership.

not entirely sure why they even included them, should have just said "counts as guard", which is probably what any renegade player is going to do.

Just bought a few recast FW dreads from some chink on ebay.

After the sale they changed the item picture from the FW model to some arbitrary action figure and removed absolutely everything from their shop.

The fucking ARMY OF THE REBORN special rule defines what an Ynnari army is you fucking idiot. It's an army that includes all units with the AELDARI keyword except the restricted units. If you include the restricted units, you are not an Ynnari army, so nothing gains the benefits of an Ynnari army, as defined by that rule, which is gaining the YNNARI keyword. You're the fucking WAACfag autist here.

>>53957992

To toss a bone to the players that were stupid enough to build a renegade army last edition, so they at least have an army with rules support.

I won 16 to 12. Despite killing everything but his Rhino, it was a lot closer than I thought. He had forgotten about some things like shooting pistols in close combat and an extra attack on his Lord which I think might have killed off more Bullgryn. Also forgetting to interrupt one combat that would have made a big difference with the Terminators. We both made quite a few misplays thanks to it being our first game, but we tried to remind each other of things and what we could have done better.

I think the biggest difference was he wanted to have some fun with the Maulerfiend charging into my Bullgryn and Crusaders which was incredibly lopsided as the Bullgryn charged in after and killed it in one go. I think I ended up doing like 18 wounds at 2 damage each.

So how is the Bio-flail on the Stonecrusher Fex supposed to work? It says you make a number of hit rolls equal to the number of the models in the target unit each time you fight, but that's really unclear.

Does that mean that if you try and have the Carnifex fight a tank, it only gets 1 attack even if you use the wrecker claw? That you could get 10 swings with the wrecker claw if you fight a full tactical squad?

If it's supposed to only be for attacks with the flail, is it that many swings for each attack? Or is it just the flat number no matter what? What if you make 3 attacks with the claw and swing once with the flail?

Yes. 7th had like 7 pages of special rules in the rulebook.

It was fucking absurd.

It's an ATTEMPT to streamline the game, but it's still up for debate whether or not it actually succeeded in doing so.

Overall, though, opinion is generally positive of 8th.

The issue 7th edition had was that it was still using a rule system a few decades old, designed to be slightly larger but still kind of a skirmish game ...

Yeah but rerolling with the co-axial and +1 to hit without movement is much better than before,

Because Malanthropes only buff MODELS within 3" not units.

>>53958295
Yes, but it doesn't qualify under the Army of the Reborn rule if you do it.
Which is the only rule that gives soulburst to other aeldari units.
>>
>>53958184
its does but in a round about way.
it says when you fight you do X hit rolls, you don't need to make attacks with flail for the weapons ability to trigger. Just be in combat fighting.

Holy fuck gimme that.
This edition is fucking brutal on my tanks when they want to move. I've started deploying them and just letting them sit there since the -1 to hit penalty is so brutal.
5+ to hit on a fucking tank when it moves? What a joke.

>>53957241
I try to make each new infantry squad different, either through a theme, new bits, new skin tones, or new weapons.
>>
>>53958378
Falcons are better than fire prisms.

A guaranteed 2 S8 AP-3 D3 shots and a S8 AP-4 Dd6 shot is way better than
d3 S9 Ap-4 Dd3 shots
The other modes aren't even worth mentioning because they suck dick.

The average of the fire prism's shot is 2 Dd3 lascannons...for 168 points
Lance Falcons are 206, can hold small squads to reduce the number of units you deploy, have higher average damage and dont have a random amount of fucking shots.

Crimson hunters are probably the most efficient AT at 183 this book. Even Dark reapers outdps fire prisms point for point.

Yeah it is pretty weird how they don't get their own tank commander in an Mars-Alpha pattern tank, or a new generic commander with all the new patterns.

No the raven is purely for fire support.

Where are the rules for an "army" that excludes units even when they have the same faction keyword? It's as made-up as your army definition, but it's actually a thing. Like Tyranids allied with GSC, Astartes allied with IG, you retard with your bitch mother.

The only "rule" there is there are certain units that can't have the YNNARI keyword. You can still bring AELDARI units with your YNNARI-AELDARI "army."

No it says what units that can be part of a ynnari army. Being in a ynnari army is what gives other units the soulburst power.

So if you have so units in your army, it's not a ynnari army. So nothing gains soulburst
>>
>>53958715

It literally says units that can be YNNARI can be YNNARI. Nothing stops AELDARI from joining YNNARI-AELDARI.

>>
>>53958830
Nah, Corsairs had decent leadership until they broke, then they had a tough time regrouping. Straight up shitty leadership doesn't fit them.

And the rule saying "roll 2 drop lowest, BUT if you fail..." seems weird if that was intended. If you meant the morale tests to just plain suck, you'd say "AND if you fail". If you were intending the roll two dice and drop one to be a boon, then you'd say "BUT if you fail". Makes more sense that it's roll 2 drop the highest (Corsairs are crazy fucks and a little harder to break) BUT more dudes flee if you fail morale (because crazy or not, once they decide it's time to go, they ALL start to bail).
>>
>>53958323
The targeting rules make that not matter. You don't target models you target whole units, so if one model in that unit has the buff you get -1 to hit.

Is there a better place to sell armies than eBay? Im so sick of playing marines i have been for 5 years straight even in 8th they feel kind of stale and want to try something new.
>>
>>53958859
No, that's an IMPERIUM army because that's the keyword they share.

If all your models share AELDARI you are an AELDARI army. You don't get Strength From Death unless you're an YNNARI army which cannot, in any way, shape, or form, include the restricted models, otherwise it is, by definition, no longer an YNNARI army, and therefore *none* of the AELDARI units in it gain Strength From Death or the YNNARI keyword unless they already have it, which is only the Triumvirate of Ynnead.
>>
>>53956255
>what can i use to open an epub if i dont want some bloated
calibre on pc
>>
>>53958976
You can include AELDARI. No such thing as YNNARI only army.
>>
>>53958976
That is not correct. Most aedlari models can choose to gain the ynnari faction keyword and thus gain strength from death. they lose battlefocus/powerfrompain/rising crescendo. but they do not stop being aeldari. Nothing stops you from bringing the avatar of khaine with an otherwise completely ynnari detachment
>>
>>53957770
what you pay for with the fire prism, is the flexability. It's a jack of all trades
>>
>>53959036
You can include AELDARI but if any of them are the restricted units then it cannot be an YNNARI army so nothing gains the YNNARI keyword or the soulburst ability.

>>53959038
The Army of the Reborn special rule does. It doesn't let you choose to give the YNNARI keyword to your units on a one to one basis, it first checks if your army is all AELDARI units but not any restricted units like the Avatar of Khaine, and THEN if you meet the conditions it becomes YNNARI and all the AELDARI stuff gains the YNNARI keyword. It's an all or nothing rule.

You can't even have an ynnari detachment in the first place if you have the avatar of khaine because they don't get the ynnari keyword if hes in the army
>>
>>53959094
I can't wait for your bitch tears when the FAQ comes out and confirms this. It's already been clarified by GW and FLG on their streams. Your army roster has to choose ONE army faction, you can't pick army faction Ynnari if you have any models that don't have that faction, and if you choose army faction aeldari then nothing gets the ynnari keyword except the three special characters that already have it.
>>
>>53959126
FLG doesn't even know half the rules (choosing deployment maps lol) and they supposedly playtested. Show the GW proof, retard.
>>
>>53959136
FLG figured out the deployment map thing already, and they're constantly in contact with GW asking them directly the FAQ shit we're all wondering about and getting answers.

You don't want to trust them, fine. GW facebook already said they're working on a full FAQ. Enjoy your one or two weeks of purposefully misinterpreting rules to cheat stuff into your Ynnari army that can't be there until they fix it.

3 heavy weapons and 6 special weapons hitting on 3+ cruising around is bretty gud.

The wording of bio-flail is incredibly shitty. It seems like you only make one attack with the bio flail, and get a number of attacks equal to the number of models in that unit within 2" and then get to allocate your other 3 attacks however you want, but it doesn't use the standard "one (and only one)" wording, so it gives the impression that you can make multiple bio-flail attacks in one phase if you want, which is inconsistent with the general wording of the rule. It also doesn't say anything about not being able to attack with other weapons, so you still get your other 3 attacks, so that guy can throw out a metric shitload of attacks.
