The miracles come from the Emperor.
The Emperor is kept alive by the people's faith.
The more faith there is, the more powerful the Emperor, and therefore the miracles, becomes.

Ergo, WAAAGH! energy. It really is just a self-contained version of the emotion reflecting capabilities of the warp.

After playing my firsr game of 8th today my oppnent and I were both newbies and had some questions we coudn't answer ourselves. Maybe you anons can help me:
>you get 2 cognis heavy stubbers on the Dunecrawler (AdMech/Skitarii) when you purchase the neutron laser + stubber for 25pts for it's points and the stubber as an extra 8pts right?
>does Dominus still heal a friendly unit in 3" range even when he is bound in melee combat? What about his own heal?
>how do necrons deal with morale in regards to their reanimation protocols?

Maybe you guys can clarify some things.
>>
>>53974711
ad mech were mid tier in 7th, idk about new edition though, ad mech have two units i really like though, onager dunecrawlers and kastelan robots, duncrawlers with a neutron lasers are practically the best anti tank in the game and a dunecrawler with an icarus array melts flyers. Kastelans robots on the other hand can extremely durable and can be used as beautifully powerful close combat fighters or shooters that can pump out 18 s5 ap-2 shots each per turn. But with ad mech when choosing your hq choose a dominus whenever possible, they are just amazing at everything.
>>
Finally tried 8th.
Played my ad mech vs full c/c tyranids.
Lost by anibble but man, had so much fucking fun.
the game is just so better than it used to be. Feels a lot more tactic too, and I felt there were no instances where my units or my opponents were completely useless(even if units feel more specialized than before).

Also, how bad it is to want to play only with power level? bringing models and putting a list in 5 seconds feels just too good.
i play only for fun and hate comp. speglords so i guess it's ok?

What is the general consensus on 8th, anyway?
Only people who actually played it plz, no theoryhammer or mathammer for now.

>>53974801
yes, probably(don't have the book on me now), he heals every turn regardless of the situation and morale tests are made counting loss from the current turn, so reanimation doesn't change anything
>>
What're thoughts on Kult of Speed now? I know bikes put out a LOT of firepower, especially Nob bikes, and outrider on the trakks is neat, though deffkoptas are absurdly expensive.

>>53974801
Yes and yes.
Dunno about the necrons and morale.
I suppose it depends on whether Slain and Removed from play are the same thing or not.
If they are, reanimation can bring back morale losses, if they aren't then those 'deaths' are permanent.

Science is a process by which you learn how the world you live in works.

The world the necrons live in includes the warp. "finishing" science would involve learning all there is to know about the warp.

In a universe where magic exists, magic is just another field of discovery to a scientist. Fucking Luddite.

Tried a game yesterday.
feels solid, a lot of stuff has been nerfed(thankfully)and now you have to think before acting.
vanguard are still great and now wound big targets easier(6+now grants 2 damage tho instead of 2 wounds so they are slightly worse at dealing with infantry), breachers are FINALLY useful(neutron lasers are still kinda shitty), dominus is now incredibly resilent, dragoons have improved durability but wont insta-kill vehicles like before and kastellans are now literally unkillable BUT have suffered a huge nerf in versatility.
if you give them double phosphor they won't be able to hit as hard as before in close combat, expecially against big targets like tyr big monsters(a hive tyrant charged them and kept them occupied for most of the game).
canticles are way weaker now but when used wisely can still make a difference.

>>53974795
Purr cult has changed, chimaeras dropped in usefulness, goliath trucks and rockgrinders are way better, I'd say trucks are mandatory in pure cult lists. Aberrants got more useful now that initiative is gone. They chew up high wound models but aren't good for much else (anecdote: an unbuffed unit of 4 with hammers took 9 wounds off a dreadknight in one round). Metamorphs are garbage imo, the non-saw mining weapons are awesome, the seismic cannon got nerfed. The changes to reserves and the loss of summoning hurt, but things could easily get better with artifacts and strategems. We can now easily take AM and nid units. Want a baneblade? You can just take one. Solid mid tier imo, much less bookkeeping niw

Bad when your army is built around how they were meant to be played in 7th. bad in general really. you need more Sentinels / russes than ever

Half your army on the board fucks them hard, cult ambush nerfed, no return to the shadows + restock of men and little shitty min units with t3 5+ suck balls.

Of all the "you need formations to play aaand....Oops we deleted formations sorry :^)" armies i'm pretty sure GSC was hit the hardest seems Harlequins and Skitarri got off well.

Reposting from the last thread for some feedback.
Any obvious problems with this list?

Dark Angel Battalion-

Asmodai
Ezekial

3x 5-man Tactical Squads w/MLs

Razorback w/Assault Cannon
2x Razorback w/Twin LC

Caestus Assault Ram

Deathwing Ancient w/THSS
Deathwing Apothecary
5-man Deathwing Knight Squad
2x Relic Whirlwind Scorpius

Asmodai, Ezekial and the Ancient boost the attack and give rerolls to the DWKnights who all hop into the Caestus and shoot across the field to hunt heretics. Scorpius's and Razorbacks give some supporting fire from downrange.

Thoughts?
>>
People like to say that tau are terrible now
But wait till commander spam goes mainstream

Enjoy Deepstrike into melta range with 4 fusions at BS 2+. With easily acquired reroll 1`s to hit.
For all of about 160 pts? It can deepstrike and potentially kill a land raider in one phase

tau should do just fine in 8th, they need not sob about no fromage in the fridge

>Aberrants got more useful now that initiative is gone. They chew up high wound models but aren't good for much else

Really? Aberrant somehow seem even shitter, and i always liked them so it hurts. the loss of FNP is awful + no synergy with the Iconward (He sucks dick anyway)

Armoured Sents and Metamorph's are beyond pointless-tier. Rockgrinders seem good on paper but i don't see them getting up the field

The Patriarch seems okay but you really need to take at least 2+ Primus now for his reroll. the loss of anything even remotely like the Subterranean uprising means every unit is just praying for a 5+ roll on a single d6. Plus you really want a Psyker for Hypnosis or maybe MC so really HQ slots are just gonna be Primus/Magus

Pure cult seems weak as hell, and i never even abused summoning before.

The rockgrinders is pretty quick now, especially with the flamer. Allied tropes seem like they'll really help, catalyst give the old 5+++, and onslaught let's you advance shoot and charge for only WC6. Pure cult is in a pretty rough spot right now for sure though. The key is making good use of neophytes and acolytes. While a 5+ ambush is awesome, you can't operate on the assumption you will get it. Abuse the new unit rules to fight the 50% rule (ex rockgrinder, 5 acolytes and a primus counts as 3 units by putting a single model on the table, great for deploying first). Primus makes a rockginder have 6 + d3 attacks hitting at 4+ on the charge. Trucks with kitted neophytes have decent dakka and are surprisingly durable. Pedestrians and acolytes tens to vaporize whatever they touch

I think i'll just use them as a screen to protect my shooties from close combat units.
last game my opponent used swarmlord to go super fast with a blob of gaunt which then piled in 6" and got my dominus, kastellant and breachers engaged.
Ideployed a screen of vanguards in an horizzontal line to prevent it but it wasnt enough, since they got obliterated in 10 seconds

Nobs as a unit always felt to pricey to be effective, but they really improved this edition. For 4 pts, give the biker Nobs kustom shootas, and you're getting 10 shots a boy, while still getting 4 S5 attacks in combat. And big choppas are an actual option now, so you don't need to dump points in power klaws to be effective. I think a small mob of them backing up some regular bikes is a solid choice.

So if you're equipped with grenades one model can use that weapon profile which in that one situation would become an assault so yes you could run and throw a grenade but still only one model can do that.

no its not. theories invloving multiple universes have long been a part of cosmology. There's even been some traction of the idea that the laws of reality aren't even the same everywhere in this universe.

For white and black though it's literally all the same.

So just buy the absolute cheapest you can find because there is no difference.
>>
>>53976651
Not really, they're just kind of fun and work in the same range and target preference as the close range mode of the frag cannon. They're also all assault weapons so the whole squad can run and shoot with them, which can be interesting.

I also like mass stormbolters and 3 assault cannon terminators, which is infinitely better now in every way from before where it was a dumb idea, except for you can only bring 3 terminator heavy weapons in a squad now.

Stalker bolter squads are also nice for camping.

Also, smite is the devil for deathwatch so a librarian is pretty nice to have.

ML is pretty comfy on Sentinels for the D6 frag missile on the go. When you roll up a 4-6 the BS5+ doesn't seem so harsh and when you finally plant yourself, you got a hard hitting shot.
>>53976730
It only has access to a Plasma Cannon over the Scout and Plasma Cannons are very okay. Not worth it this edition in my opinion. Mobility is more important and 9" + 9" turn 1 is a lot nicer than 8".
>>53976278
They are mobile distractions basically. That's why I like Scout Sentinels. They get into flanking positions really fast turn 1 and if you give them a strong enough weapon, people don't want to ignore it. They aren't great and I'm thinking Power Loading Sentinels from FW are going to be more worth it.

word. I fucking hate the epub format.
>>
>>53976984
I've got the workflow down to be pretty simple now so I can give you a run down.

Open the epub up in Scribe

Extract all of the fonts and find the full version equivalents

Check the font family name of your replacement font and the font from the epub with Font Forge and adjust as needed.

Swap the fonts in the epub with your replacement ones.

Export with Prince

Check it over by viewing the original epub with Readium.

Double check your pdf in either Sumatra or some other dedicated pdf viewer.

That's really all there is to it. It took some trial and error to figure it all out, but now I can get one done in about 10 minutes.

Obviously that's false. The eldar were able to refine their mastery of the warp enough to create the webway. If it was as you say, then no manipulation of the warp would be possible.

Newsflash: A commoner in rural china has a better quality of life than most city dwelling chinese people.

Farming has remained relatively the same throughout histoy, although increasing in scale thanks to advances in industrial technology.

Meanwhile the citydweller's life has changed dramatically for the worse as they're exposed to pollution, toxins, and overcrowding problems such as disease and crime. Citydwellers are also under exponentially more stress than their ancestors, and even more so than rural dwellers thanks to globalisation.

Ideas for GSC allies? Obviously listbuilding for us is gonna be a bit different now. We have next to no staying power, so I was thinking some kind of nid support. Maybe a detachment of carnifexes to send up the middle? Or should I look at AM artillery to force them in closer to deal with my long range strikes, making them easier ambush targets?

well that's why I was asking, it's literally 40 points for +1 invuln save at range, yet with those weapons mainly short range shit will be attacking it.

So I bought an extra intercessor and hellblaster squad to go with my starter box, putting me at a nice 1236-ish.

Assuming the grav tank is about the same as one of the cheaper land raiders and the dreadnought is in the same ballpark as a leviathan, I should easily hit 1500-1750.

Hopefully the other primaris kits come out with the death guard launch, I like the sound of those cyclone+flamer devastators and melee stealth dudes.
>>
>>53976949
there's more to paint than just the colour.
pigment density, particle size matters and hugher quality paints geberally have denser concentration of smaller particles. The medium effects how it flows while painting.

in short higher quality paint goes on smoother and needs less/thinner layers to achieve a solid colour.
>>
>>53977253
You pay points for melee and ranged, but you can only do one, and not very well at that. If there is a way to use Defilers, tell me. My giant crabs want to see the tabletop again.

OK. Any other advice? I thought the fall back and shoot thing might be good. I didn't realize how good watch master was.
>>
>>53977212
Because he is cool. Also vanguard veterans let you fall back and shoot, which is pretty solid for extra close range shooter guys.
>>53977184
Looks pretty neat to me, B. If you can kite to pop transports with the blackstars you can swoop in and ice the passengers. Deathwatch are pretty weird in that the vehicles can end up being cheap compared to the kill teams themselves.
>>
>>53977329
And for every other shade and color you're absolutely right.

But not for black and white. Because they're simply black and white. The production process and chemicals are all the same.

I wouldn't have thought it was relevant until I played around some. You'd think you would just annihilate anything that charges you from 8" or closer in overwatch, and you'd be right, but getting consolidated into while fighting stuff like tyranids is much more common than you'd expect. There may only be a few units within the 2" range of the squad, but it's enough to force them to fall back if they want to use their full squad deletion powers. It does kinda depend on who you're playing against and what the rest of the list you use is, though. I'm gonna start putting them in my squads soon.

If you're using simple green to strip stuff, do you have to seal up the container or dilute it? I've had some dudes in some for weeks and it's just not working, but I didn't put a lid on it or add any water. I had a smaller container that came from the exact same bottle of simple green and even the primer came right off the guys who were in that one, but it was partly covered too.

They didn't even have much on them, just basecoats/color scheme tests I wasn't happy with.

It already has BS 4+, moving makes it 5+, which is abysmal. Dread speed means it will have trouble actually getting to pick its melee target, and will probably get cucked by some memescript tarpit. If it sits there to shoot its guns, not moving, you're wasting all the points you spent on those big ass power claws.

The only use I can think of for it is to
have it babysit your backline, not moving, and charging DSing dreads, but dreads can't even take pods anymore, outside FW.

They do different jobs, but generally you don't want to run a Blood Slaughterer unless you already have another one, a Decimator, or a Maulerfiend to pair it with.

So now that the Shadow Spectre stats have been L O C A T E D, what do y'all think of them?

23 points for heavily armoured, jetpack eldar equipped with a weapon that can act as a heavy flamer or short ranged pseudo-starcannon.

Their phoenix lord is a bit underwhelming. He can solo infiltrate, which is a bit weird since regular Spectres can't.

Funky morale rules and -1 to rolls to hit them are nice bonuses.

I'm inclined to get them.

What do you guys think of Kriegs losing FRF,SRF but turning their rifles into Pistol 2 weapons?
A regular DK Infantry squad, ordered with Without Mercy, near a Priest and Regimental standard ends up putting 50 attacks, and it's not like the Priest, Command squad and Marshal affect a single squad, so it's not THAT gimmicky.
Not to mention Death Riders have multiple lance attacks and hit 6 times (Regimental), two of those at S4.
I must remind myself they're mortals, and they're not supposed to be in melee in the first place...but Repentias with Priest (+1atk), and Mistress (reroll hits & charges) can put out 54 Eviscerator attacks.

Mortals are scary in melee now.

>>53978202
The boyz can handle most of the enemy, da boss and his nobs kill da ard stuff.
Kannons are also acceptable.

>>53978098
Trying to play around with Death Company after their nerf.

Loaded the Chaplin out like a DC Chaplin, jump pack and inferno pistol. Also brought in a Sang Priest to make them S5. All that with a 5 man squad with jump packs and 1 thunder hammer brings these guys to 320pts. That's 339pts with Lemartes replacing the Chaplin and it's 353 if I went with Astorath instead.

Another idea was to scrap the jump packs and Priest, throw the Chaplin in Terminator Armor and load the whole squad in a Razorback equipped with Heavy Flammers. That brings it to 320pts.

What sucks about all of this is if you compare it 7th, these same build matches the point cost with a difference of around 10pts mostly. But here in 8th Death Company loses an attack and only have a 6+ FNP.

Without Mercy is basically worse than FRFSRF unless outside Rapid Fire range, where it's equal. However, what it is, however, is a better version of Fix Bayonets since you don't have to worry about getting your dudes into combat to get 2 attacks, thus reducing the need for Priests.

What the fuck army are you playing that can't deal 10 Wounds vs Toughness 4 with 3+ armour hitting on 3's re-rolling 1's.

The best part is that Riptides are still not too bad, but the taufag at my LGS keeps trying to field 3 IonTides at 2000 points instead of just taking a Burst Tide with the -1 armor save system.

He soaks up half his army points into overpriced, overspecialized riptides, and then complains about GW hating his army. And when I tell him what he's doing wrong he spergs out about Tau needing to specialize units. It's fucking hilarious.

You build a list to win, not for variety but to win.

Or you could use Tau on foot with rifles as if they were guardsmen instead of battlesuits, whatever your choice.

What really sucks is those fuckers have 14 fucking wounds so you really need to focus fire to kill them but can't actually efficiently dispatch them with the tools at hand.

It's also not like you can ignore them either, because warriors are fucking legit scary and the Ark is just making it harder to remove them.

That's not really an option anymore. Pretty much every army NEEDS cheap infantry screen to play competitively. For Tau you pretty much have to choose between Fire Warriors, Pathfinders, or Kroot Carnivores.
Pathfinders are pretty valuable for their weapon options, so Fire Warriors or Carnivores are your best choices, and Carnivores are cheaper.

Going on the offensive isn't an awful idea, but you're Tau with Tau mobility. Melee units are generally fast as fuck and will usually get the charge.

For one thing - 8E: Better AP - Better Weapon. Someone in Cover? -> User Better AP.
Previous Ed: Every weapon needs to be considered individually. Ap3 weapon is wasted points if shot at Terminators, and such decision will bring your downfall. Or shooting Ap2 into cover snipers. For this you need cover ignoring flamers/artillery.
Instant death mechanic made shooting double T weapon into multi wound models a viable tactics that is very effective if used correctly.
An many more.
>>
>>53979282
To be honest I thought you were going to say something about vehicles and their lack of -1T from the back
In fact what I like of 8E, what many of us at 30k (which will be using 7.5E) wish is we had that AP system.
Otherwise AP3 is suddenly useless against the very common 2+ saves. It would make power swords not useless anymore, for us. But we're trapped in 7E.
8E isn't so bad, you'll learn to love it.
>>
>>53979316
I wish they would rather put 8E on your 30k in which i have no interest at all, and left 40k on 7E.
Vehicles facing and thin armor on the back/melee is also one of the factors, as well as the fact now dedicated anti-tank tanks dont have chance of blowing each other turn 1 form 60"-72" ranges due to vehicle damage table.
This is 40k for gods sake, where is my carnage?

>>
>>53979611
it'll never die as long as the tournament scene is the main draw
and like it or not, a better player will beat a worse player
it might not be the most tactically deep game ever, but to suggest that there's no skill involved in making the right moves and calls to win is just being willfully ignorant
>>
>>53979371
there's plenty of carnage still. jts just gradual and actually takes skill to achieve instead being purely luck.

blowing up tanks reliably woth anti tank guns was bad from a gameplay standpoint. its unsatisfying to just lose expensice minis before youve had a chance to act in the game and makes the die off for first turn overly important in determining the winner.
>>
>>53979611
It already died with 8E, cos there is no tactical depth no more.

I think the intent is that you can swap it for two items from the "up to two items can be chosen from the following" part of the list or one from the "one weapon can be chosen from the following" on page 171. But RAW an argument could be made that the "two items" part of the list count as one choice, so if you have two choices you could take 4 chainswords or something and be general grievous.

Actually by raw you can re-roll this. The most important rule in the main core rules clearly states you roll off for any dispute and highest wins.

While the command re-roll clearly states you can re-roll ANY dice roll, the only caveat being you can only do it once per phase.

Considering you're likely to get a tactical advantage if your interpretation is taken it makes sense you can spend points to alter it.

Don't blame me. Blame shit tier rules you still gobble up.
