rowboats head is the same size as a regular marine head so you'll be fine, you will have to cut one of the neck parts though (you get two sets of two halves, one for unhelmeted and one for helmeted) to get it to fit

I just discovered that you can get these things for a tenner or so. Going to try and make a gargantuan squiggoth. Looks to be about 12 inches long, which is roughly right, but a little low, which should be fixable with a nice big howdah. Picked up a Dimetrodon kit too to loot the head. Will still need to bulk the jaw out, add tusks and so on, but it will be a better basis than the trike's. Weirdly, I haven't seen anyone else try this, so there might be some flaw I'm not spotting.

Only put valuable units in transports, but don't run (most) valuable units without them.

30 boys and a weirdboy with Da Jump is nice.

Nobz are probably the best trukk filler.

Make kommando squads out of two slugga-choppa boyz, 2 burna boyz and 1 nob.

Mek guns are good if they are KMK, acceptable if bubblechukkas and trash otherwise.

Gretchin are objective grabbers and troop slot fillers.

Warboss is a decent HQ choice, others are fairly questionable, except for the jump weirboy. Big mek with KFF on bike is probably third best.

If you're going to run a battlewagon, load it with flash gitz and lootas or a maximum size block of burna boys for re-roll abuse (both lootas and burnas roll for their number of shots as a unit, so you can spend command points to increase your average damage output).

Ideally you want to be mostly boyz or mostly elite units in transports plus walkers, so the enemy can't use all their weapons effectively (unless they were lucky enough to guess what you were bringing).

They do, it's just regulated as fuck because unless you've got High Magos levels of precautions, knowledge and skill you're going to be fucked by Chaos or something. They keep it locked down because otherwise some fuck would come up with/be Tzeenched into a way to build something like a Higgs-Grounding Bomb without knowing what he's doing. The Admech does innovate, see: Cawl, Kotov, Pre-Heretek Telok, Arkhan "I just found this somewhere" Land, etcetera.

The only reason the Tau AI and Tech hasn't been buttfucked by Chaos yet is plot armour.

>>54001932
Why is the one on the left standing like a qt anime grill

>>54002215

I think it's because the Emperor advanced the human race so fast and beyond the normal levels that when he went to sit on the golden throne they have to catch up. That or the cult like reverence of the Emperor makes them not want to advance much as it's like "improving on God's work" even though big E was against that train of thought.

Probably to attract kiddies. Considering they now also sell special stuff in toystores. That and primaris and deathguard seem to be the stormcast and bloodbound of 40k and those two factions have the same problem of monoposes.

Because it goes against all of the fluff, and doesn't make any sense in a galaxy where not only is manpower a virtually unlimited resource, but 99.999999999% of all humans are incapable of being space marines, so why would they waste time making female marines when it would take a shitload of rework of genetic science (which is barely tolerated when even Cawl did it, and his changes were very minor all things considered) in a process that is already barely understood, extremely expensive and resource-intensive, and has a low rate of success even when all requirements are met perfectly? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, so the injection of female marines would be perceived as nothing more than unnecessary "diversity" in a setting where there is so much potential for diversity in other parts of the setting it's not even funny.


What GW needs to do is add female Guard bitz, redo Sisters and give them an actual range, and give us more female Inquisitors/acolytes. Also, maybe flesh out a female-only regiment like my OC donut steel 35th Velusian Banshees.

>>54002215

No him but the prirmaris program was the prefect excuse to have Cawl figure out making the gene seed work regardless of the Y chromosome. Each chapter can then have their own recruiting process for prirmaris abominations. Like having the Dark Angles still only recruit dudes so they can keep The Rock as a gay club for shooting hot plasma.

I really don't know why everyone kept screaming for streamlining as if they didn't expect this to happen. The most streamlined shape is an oval egg shape. There's a reason all cars aren't shaped like that, and it's because it's bland and uninteresting. With something like 40k, streamlining should never be an end goal, it should be an increment solution. GW however clearly thought they should streamline the game up until the point there is nothing else to streamline, and now we have 8.

"Boss and Tankbustas in Trukk with Big Mek. Zoom up. Weird Boyz Jump both Boys squads and Painboy if you get all 3 off. They then become Smite machines in cover. Kommandos start 9" away. Flyer comes in to blast apart stuff. Gretchin bubble wrap Lootaz or hold objective. A lot of the points are in characters, but I feel that it's worth it."

Age of shitmar has nothing to do with this.

The rules are BETTER and more balanced, while still being super good at differentiating between the various "almost similar" units, somehow even more than 7th.

This is how 7th edition should have been.

So far my favorite part of 8th is how there are very few consensuses on what is good and what isn't. We know conscripts are good and Chad Marines are shit, but not much else. Especially Tau, who I have seen a pretty even split of people who think they're dead/mid tier/still cheesy. Can't wait to see the meta shake out a little more

Da Propa List is either mobz of Boyz with shootas backed by lobbas and Megakannons, or elites/fast attack heavy ditching the boyz for a fragile list. Trukks cost too much for 12 boyz to ever make the points back.

>>54002674
No one doubted the effectiveness of hellblasters. It's intercessors and inceptors that are the problem. They aren't killy enough for the points they cost.

That's what I'm not sure about.

>>54002727
Of all editions, why 7e? 8e is pretty widely accepted at present, with I think the main complaints being the relative lack of psychic powers and flavorful options, which we're fairly certain are coming in the codices. If, however, you decide you don't want to play 8e, why in the world would you choose 7e as the replacement? There are better editions.

Tau have the presence of vegetation in the warp, and necrons are basically anti-warp

Well they have almost no warp presence. Demons can still see them but with their lack of psykers they are certainly not a strong presence in the warp.

As much as I would like to add some Oni-themed Khorne Tau to my Tau, >>54003485 is most likely correct.

>>54003558

>>54003569
I wasn't aware of how cannon it was. I mean the rail riffle did show up there first. I can understand if that is the only thing they kept from it though.

>>54003542
Imho makes no sense.
40k works because it blends a lot of different things: collecting, painting, creating stories, interacting with other persons, fisicity of the models...
the game itself is ok, but what makes 40k appealing cant be replicated in tts. You'll be left only with an unbalanced tactical game.

My advice is start slowly; take a start Collecting or even a single box +hq, do a coouple of demo games with that squad, when you have painted it expand your army, and eventually you'll have a full army.

it takes time and dedication but its incredibly satisfying and it cant be replicated by any other hobby.

>>54003543
Bad. Take the Tessaract Ark instead.

Same main gun, but it can uses 3 powers of the C'tan a turn. It also can use them in any distribution, so it deals 3d3 mortal wounds, or each model roles 3d6 and takes a mortal wound on a 6, etc.

Also, never go WAAC.
And don't listen for most /v/ advcies, like THIS DOESNT WORK, BUILD THIS LIST OR GTFO.

make your own army with your own ideas, get new models based on what you like, how they act, how do you tyhnk yoiur army shoud expand or anything you want but NEVER on someone else's advice(unless you are a tourneyfag), or you'll regret it.

You all complained about the Space Wolves being too wolfy, and now you've opened the gates for femarines.

>>54002681
Cool terrain pieces.

>>54004051
Femarines don't. Space Marines are basically testosterone incarnate. It's the ultra-masculine fantasy for dudes to retreat into if they feel their primal male instincts are not sated enough by modern life. For me at least.

>tfw no Renegade Knight army

Daily reminder, that female marines goes against the verismilitude of the setting.

AS DO nuMARINES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>54002681
>Found on the planet Hyperion

>>54003981
So essentially chaos is just one army? I can have marines and bloodletters in the same list and they are all just part of "chaos" or whatever, no allies or anything like that?

>>54003472
Don't forget to glue shitloads of grass tufts all over the models, Raptorsanon.

>>54004009
But wouldn't fem-marines look exactly like normal marines just with different faces and hairdos.

Like, they would basically get gender reassignment surgery and be pumped with testosterone on top of the normal marine mods, because the male body is objectively more suited to combat.

>tfw you're looking the wrong index

>>54003883
>Deathwing Knights losing to Guilliman
WAT

>>54004153
Pretty much.

It's fucking stupid.

>>54004009
Risk what? If you think anyone is going to do anything more talk about how shit the new lore is, I have some bad news for you.

>>54002466
>recruit only the best candidates for the space marines
>recruit women
Pick one m8

>>54003942
There won't be, the true behind the legion of the dammed is that they were all burned by their players and in deep dismay they embraced burning ascension as a way to still serve the Emperor

Don't female marines would look exactly as normal marines but with a girly deep voice? or people expect Primaris Sisters?

I wonder why GW chose the Deathguard for the counterpart to the Marines for the starter stuff. They don't seem to have that much appeal to those not in the hobby already.

>>54004198
risk losing players. The reason I love 40k is because it still feels like some wacky heavy metal album cover from the 80's and doesn't really change. If GW gave in to the needs of PC virtue signalling I'd quit out of principle.

Any one else really like centurions

Just FYI since this one's just gone past the bump limit, and some people have been making threads as early as possible recently, there is another 40k general currently up (and below the bump limit) here:

There was a good article published by the Guardian recently about how women are actually scientifically stronger than men. You should take a look.

>tfw power creep will eventually ruin 8th edition.

Forgeworld are already trying to make that reality.

What did he mean by this?

I'm not going to go the raptors-anon way. It's going to be a paired down Inq28 team. One Apothecary, one Sergeant, one regular dude who's going to have a Deathwatch shoulderpad to denote his time served, and I just decided I want one of those sneaky Marines to join the party.

Fuck, might as well model the team off Halo: Reach and get a female Inquisitor who... Fuck I'm already modding a Greyfax model for that purpose. I might as well make my Apothecary a sniper and wait for when Devastator Primaris come out so I can have one with an Assault Cannon.

>>54004155
>>54004386
What happened to raptors-anon?i haven't seen any monstergirls in a while

>>54004349
Given the forgeworld rules include rolling a D6 for no reason whatsoever, an aircraft that can never fire its main guns, and a tank that requires you to be a time traveller, I'm leaning towards massive incompetence rather than maliciousness.

>>54004274
To create a contrast between the clean armor of the marines and the gribbly armor of the plagueysand get people to buy more marines/spoiler].

>>54002028
I like it. Had a similar idea myself. Maybe a more interesting color for the chest icon? Perhaps a coppery metallic.

>>54004337
>>54004354
After a quick google search and a skim the article just goes on about how Women are better survivors, have longer lifespans, and are better at endurance running in many cases. I don't know how this has anything to do with being strong enough to do anything a marine does without being pumped of chemicals to the point they are basically at a male marine's muscular level.

why are all the books sold out everywhere?

and also list builder is kill

>>54004465
Could work, thanks for the advice.

>>54004469
Well yeah women have some advantages in that regard since they are the 'baseline' humans and males mutate from the same beginnings or some shit. Still they are not better 'survivors' in the sense of surviving in a jungle etc.

>>54004469
That is why women are so much worse at all track events right.

Jesus the gymnastics people do to try to make women appear superior.

>>54003581
That info about the captain makes me very happy. Thanks for that!

>>54004531
Just say they are carcharodons at that point.

Is anyone else really fucking hyped for the fight between girlyman and morty?

>>54004577
The articles definition of surviving is very vague anyways. Like, oh man X% more females live to Y years more than men, sure. That has nothing to do with genetically modified humans, as I have never heard of a marine dieing from natural causes.

>>54004579
>The Guardian
You are surprised why?

>>54004417

Maybe he died?

>>54004641
It shows that women are objectively superior choices for geneseed implantation.

>>54004632
No. Get lost gw employee

which would be better?

>captain with missile launcher spam
>chaplain with assault marine spam
>both

>>54004704
Do you even know the process by which they make marines? They weed out the weak because only the strongest could attempt to survive the process. Adding another step having to essentially do a sex change would lower the failure rate even more.

This is bait.

>>54004760
That was the old process, anon. Primaris marines are different. We'll just have to wait and see and hope
