Undivided Princes aren't a thing anymore because of the garbage that is Be'lakor.

And all Daemons have free will so long as they serve the gods. So a limited will, I suppose, but they aren't like servitors or battle automata.

That's still racist though, because picking that army in order not to appear racist means you acknowledge their appearance could invoke racism.

>Does this apply to undivided daemon princes?
Not really as far as I can tell.
There's quite a few Daemon princes who have grown powerful enough they've made (tried to make) their own sub-realms outside the 'Realm of Chaos' proper inside the Warp.

As long as they don't cross the two 'strong, belligerent, and indestructible' walking WAAAAGHs! that are Gork and Mork (who can go/fight wherever they damn please), they should (theoretically) be fine.
>>

They deep strike, shoot anything that can kill them in one Fight phase, then just keep retreating and shooting.
>>

>>
>>54053756
It's a weird thing that they are a thing and still canon, but GW will likely never bring them back. Lorgar makes sense because he was chosen by all 4, but we don't really know about Pert.

Just checked, and it would appear that anyone with access to a google sheet can freely download it as an excel document in an editable form, so you can actually already get an editable copy. Just open my sheet, go to File, and do "Download as" and pick Microsoft Excel. You'll find the full sheet editable once downloaded, including the Blank Sheet (which I recommend duplicating before editing).

I already made a blank version with just notes and the blank sheet though, so I went and uploaded it.

Daemon Princes choose to obey the Chaos Gods. There have been cases of daemon prince rebelling but it usually ends badly for them.

As for Undivided Princes, there is only one and his name is Be'lakor the Dark Master of Chaos aka Herald of the End Times aka The Firstborn of the Gods.

Go for it. I love those models. I also love the one black guy, just one. There we go, diversity met. I guess there are some slightly more tan guys in there too.

As a heads up, the arm that's holding the shield is making a fist so it's not too hard to put a gun in the hand, but there's a couple of straps and some holes in their arm. You might need to shave down the shield arm or fill in the holes or put something over them.

I had some leftover pieces from other models, so I'm using them as ministorum Crusaders from a religious feral world.

Okay, this is a list a friend 'helped' me put together (basically did all the work for me) because I want to get into 40k finally and like t'au. Specifically wanted an old-style combined arms list (but no auxiliaries) so fire warriors, crisis suits, vehicles (originally hammerheads, convinced to take a sun shark), etc., like back in THE OLD DAYS.
The list is built specifically to take advantage of box sets (namely T'au Start Collecting and the Optimised Pathfinder Team) to get discounts, with a stealth suit team and a sun shark being the only purchases on top of that to finish the list, because I would like not to go bankrupt as my first act on getting into the hobby.

Can anyone give me any minor changes I could make (although the stuff from the box sets is basically mandatory model-wise, but the individual purchases and wargear can be changed up if really necessary) or any general ideas of how to play this and how it'll perform in a non-waac environment?

You realize the Imperium is an incomprehensibly massive galactic empire spread across over a million worlds all with their own cultures, customs, languages, subcultures, differing religious sects, climates, histories, traditions, fashion trends, technological levels, etc. etc. right?

Yup. It's been 112 years.
Which means the 3rd War on Armageddon between Orks vs Imperium (and for awhile vs Khorne vs Tzeentch) has been going on for 112 years.

The Octarius War? The Swarmlord has been trying (and failing repeatedly) to conquer Octarius/Octaria (a single planet!) for over a century, and Leviathan's Hive Queen has apparently wasted multiple tendrils trying to get that sweet Ork biomass. It's pretty much been a century-long meatgrinder of talons and choppas and death. Lots of death. Recently a whole host of Khorne guys (literally all his champions except Angron and Skulltaker), showed up in system on their little the Blood Crusade (a second wave showed up to back up the first, so they were there for longer than a couple hours), and decided it be a GRAND idea to try and pull their "blood for the blood god" shtick by dropping planetside and attacking both Orks and nids at once. It did not go well for them (especially after the daemons left via warp storm and all of Khorne's mortal followers, including Kharn & the World Eaters, trapped between the Green Tide in full WAAAGH! mode and the Tyranids in full 'OMNOMNOM! SKREEEE!!' mode).

Along with several other interesting events I can't be arsed to mention atm.

-Why Honour Blade on Ethereal? If he goes in melee, he's dead anyway.

-Why Breachers as your only Troops? Breachers+Devilfish as you have works fine, but they won't be an effective source of sustained firepower. Pulse Rifle Strike Teams are your bread and butter.

-Commanders are better for fusion drops than Crisis, due to improved BS and four hardpoints. 4*Fusion Quadmanders are your go-to for this.

-If you want to use fusion suits for popping heavies, you should give your stealth team a homing beacon so they can drop straight into Melta range.

The main issue I see right now is how do you actually intend to kill things? Breacher team can bum-rush one target from Devilfish, and you have one effective heavy-drop with your fusion suits, but PF aren't a great source of damage, three suits with ATS can help versus light infantry, but don't by themselves put out enough dakka to sustain you, and again your Sun Shark is great versus massive hordes, which you may or may not see at 1000pts. What do you intend to put on objectives to hold them? You seem to lack a central force for all of these pieces to revolve around.

Honour blade is default. I could actually upgrade to equalizers and stay within 1000 points but I figure that's probably for when this is finalised if at all.

Breachers is pretty much just from trying to cram a lot of things into one list, but I could switch that to a strike team instead no problem since it's pretty much just the same guys in the start collecting set. Devilfish would presumably either still be for them or go to pathfinders at that point and they gunline.

I'm avoiding the commander-spam stuff. I really, really don't want cheese, I just want a list that's fun to play that can stand in a casual play environment. I don't expect to take on WAACfags. And Crisis suits, as a unit, are probably one of the iconic t'au units that always appealed to me so i'd want a unit of them anyway. (That and they're in the start collecting box along with the ethereal, so)

Homing beacon I could do if I can lose some points elsewhere to make room.

As for 'how do I intend to kill things', I literally don't even own a rulebook yet. This is literally my first foray into 40k tabletop whatsoever and i'm trying to figure out what i'm going to buy if I go ahead with it in advance. Any suggestions? As noted, main things I can change are wargear options and replacing the stealth suit team and/or sun shark with something else that keeps list within 1k points.

>>
>>54054424
Yeah, Honour Blade was my bad, I was thinking Equalizer. Keeping that default is good.

I'd definitely recommend swapping to Pulse Rifles for your first basic FW team. Breachers can do well in 8e, but don't work as well as the core of your force.

That's fair.

If you can finagle it to fit, I'd recommend it. Being able to use the Melta on the FB as soon as you drop is very potent. It's one of the main reasons to bring stealth suits in the first place.

I might recommend trying to develop your core a bit more, before throwing on all the bells and whistles. A squad or two of PR FW goes a long way, as far as having actual troops to park on objectives and buff with your Ethereal. I'm not sure the Sunshark is necessary at your points-level, unless you're regularly fighting orks/guard/nids.

As far as rules go, the full ruleset is available for download in the OP.

I'm confused about how power points work in regards to weapons.

Who gives a shit if they only cost 8 points? You're paying 300 points for the model that carries them in most cases.
>>
Would you run a CSM Daemon Prince or a Chaos Daemons Daemon Prince ? They cost the same, except that the Daemons one has 2 mor HP and has a passive ability regarding which mark he choses.

It seems obvious that anyone would take the Chaos Daemons one since it's objectively better for the same stats, BUT the 2 HP increase puts him at 10 HP which mean that he can be targeted as a normal unit despite him being a character.

So, the question is : are 2 more HP and a passive ability worth losing the ability to hide your DP behind your cultists/marines/poxwalkers/whatever ?

8e says that the Blood Crusade throwing itself in the middle of that killy sandvich forced it to a standstill (something that only happened twice while the Blood Crusades were still going on).
Then the daemons left.

Kharn and the World Eaters might've made it out okay (hell, Kharn might be having a proppa' fun time and would have to get dragged out by his brothers!), but any other mortal worshiper of Khorne who unlucky enough to be on the surface when the daemons left probably ended up as someone's lunch (or decorating an Ork's bosspole. Possibly both).

You're probably right about it being a minor Khorne holiday though.

Not if you're surrounded you idiot, you can't move through enemy models. Even if only one guy in your whole squad is surrounded and can't move out of combat, you cannot fall back.

Guess what Hormagaunts do? They pile-in and consolidate 6" which gives them 12" of leeway AFTER they charged to wrap around you and stop you going anywhere. Unless you have FLY and can move over them you're fucking boned.

It's very easy with the new charge rules. When you charge, the first model has to end up within 1" of an enemy model that was the target of the charge, and the rest can go wherever the fuck they want as long as they remain in coherency. So you set them up to be around the enemy unit you want to surround, about 2" away, and then pile-in so they end up 0.9" away, and then consolidate after killing some guys so they end up 0.8" away. It's very very easy to use this to wrap around a unit. I've seen it done in plenty of games already. It's easier to understand doing it on the table than trying to explain it, but trust me it's not difficult. Pretty much the only counterplay your opponent can do to this is to set up other units nearby to fuck with it, but if he does this then they'll get dragged into combat too, so his choice is basically "get 3-4 units pulled into combat, be able to fall back with all of them but then none of them can shoot" or "get 1 unit locked in combat and surrounded, cannot fall back but the other units are free to shoot other targets"

What are the general naming conventions for T'au commanders? It seems to be pretty scattered but they keep to 2 words that are interchangeable nouns/adjectives.

Only issue I have with him is he's a little too redundant. He doesn't do anything unique or especially upgraded. And getting a 5++ at some point in the game is just weird and not especially interesting.

Former tau player here.
I don't know if its an official convention for tau commanders, but farsight and shadowsun are both named for a specific thing from a great battle they were in.

So my suggestion is to think about the background story you might have come with, and think about the battle that got your dude promoted, was there any defining thing you could name him after ? maybe he led an important ambush, using a blizzard as cover, gaining the name Shadowstorm or something.

Okay, switched from a breacher and a sun shark to two Strike Teams with a pair of shield drones each (shas'ui has a markerlight).

>>
>>54055184
While they'll all start with caste, rank and Sept, Tau names are made up primarily of honorifics given for tasks, be them minor or great. Shadowsun, Farsight and Longstrike are very specific names given to them for tasks they have done, while many will have names for basic achievements (IIRC, anyone who has passed a Trial by Fire has the "Kais" name). This means a Shas'O's full name will be a horrific mangle of words strung together, but they often adopt a single one they feel defines and embodies themselves best.

It's implied that Arkunasha had some apocalypse that wiped out the previous civilisation on it and turned the surface into an oxidised iron red desert. The sentient sandstorm hunger for blood and move towards battles on the surface.

I guess that hints that the apocalypse was caused by Chaos, specifically Khorne. The planet is covered by rusted iron which is known to be an element in blood. The sandstorms hunger for blood and battle seems to be characteristic of Khornate daemons who might be possessing or manipulating the winds of the planet.

You sound retarded because you think skin colour is related to the colour of blood.

How many pink Elephants or Red Crocodile you know about?

What list are you running?

>>54056230
Right, I was implying both. But an all NEW nid troop type, if it arrives, would likely come as a second build on lictor sprues. The biovore/pyrovore sprue is the most logical, but lictors have a lot of history and are iconic enough to have a new plastic kit I think.

Unless you're albino you'll still tan, which is the production of more brown pigment.

Want to build a IW army around a core of Tyrants, do I go with plastic Mk III or Mk IV as the core of my disposable cannon-fodder tactical squads?

Mk III obviously fits IW quite well and matches the old-school look of the Cataphractii but Forgeworld do upgrades for IW that seem designed more with Mk IV in mind.

No, you're definitely playing it wrong. Pile ins and Consolidations care about the closest model. If you start 2 inches away from a MODEL, then your pile ins and consolidations cannot take you farther than 2 inches away from that Model. With an Ork Boyz unit, there's no way to surround it due to this limitation, unless it's already drastically understrength.

Hey /40kg/

I am looking to start Warhammer 40k in the near future.

I am mostly drawn to the Xenos races over the human races as they just all seem very flavorful.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which to check out first?

I'm stuck choosing between Eldar, Necros and Tyranids.

All have interesting lore, and cool looking models.
>>
>>54056369
The mk4 iron warrior helmets are amazing. I would base my army just around that
>>
>>54056393
Eldar is the most fleshed out and has sick mechs and hover bikes.
>>
>>54056393
I would suggest Necrons because they're easy to paint and get playing right away. But that depends on your painting ability and history with other hobby games? Necrons also have the best Get Started box. Get that, another box of warriors and some immortals and get playing.

Tamiya silver spray primer and then nuln oil and agrax earth shade and you're decent enough to go.
>>
>>54056393
Necron if you want to do quirky/mad leaders ruling over automatons with kickass technology
Eldar if you like elves in space
Tyranids if you really liked the bugs in starship troopers
>>
>>54054352
pfff even gotrek kicked his ass weakest chaos demon prince pfff

mk3

Cataphracts+mk2/3 is THE 30k look. Mk5 is also acceptable.

>>54056349
>Refactoring an old model by introducing a totally new unit
This is exactly what they did to Zoanthropes with Venomthropes and all of the sudden this Lictor idea makes far too much sense. It would be nice to get something new that isn't a Monstrous Creature.

Swarmlord with 3 Tyrant Guard, Trygon Prime that brings in 20 Genestealers, Malanthrope that babysits an Exocrine and 3 Hive Guard, a Tervigon with a half and half gaunt blob and 3 Warriors alongside a Stonecrusher Carnifex. I've just got so much going on with my army that my opponents don't know what to focus down first. Granted I've gone first with most of my games, but damn if it doesn't feel good to just walk across the board and delete half of your opponent's army turn one.
>>
>>54056369
If you go MKIV you may notice that the helmets are very similar to the new "Primaris" marines, a similarity one may wish to avoid.
>>
>>54056473
>miniwargaming
At least they are not GW level of bad.

Is there anything decent enough that is not behind a paywall?
>>
>>54056393
Doesn't matter what other armies have, only tyranids shoot charged grubs that burrow in to the nervous system of their prey. Shurikens, lasers, bullets... so boring. Nids are the coolest.

Don't base it on anything more than what you like the most outside of the rules. The story and theme of the faction is what will keep you loving your army, give you motivation to paint and enjoy putting on the battlefield.

Sounds absolutely terrifying. How do you feel about the Malanthrope being 90 points? Overpowered, just right, something inbetween?

>>54056393
Eldar and Necrons are in the same index book. So maybe you can start narrowing it down there. All three are fine forces.

Currently I'm the only person in my local group who doesn't have a lord of war and I'm considering getting one because who doesn't like to have a giant war machine in their army

I don't really think a knight would merge that well with my army aesthetically wise so I was considering some kind of big tonk

Any suggestions for good lord of wars to use in a Space Wolves army, the Typhon looks like it could be fun to use

The truth.

R8 my list
10x Grey Knight Terminator Librarians - 1450 points
Brother-Captain - 152 points
100 conscripts - 300 points
2x Commissars - 60 points
Company Commander - 30 points

Knights could work with yiffs, if not a spartan Tank could usher in half your army longboat-style while pumping out a metric fuckton of dakka, thought wouldn't be very competitive. Tbh the issue with most non-Knight LoW is they require a list built around it, and SM usually aren't interesting for that in high-tier games. They can do it, but you'll run the high rick of easily getting hard countered.

If you're really insistent, then a Fellblade or falchion will do ya fine. But really SM are at their best mixing it up and being tactical asf, SW do that but up close and wolfing it up

I believe the Malanthrope is appropriately costed for its points. Its PL needs to be changed to something more appropriate. Reason that I believe it is at the proper cost is that it's fairly weak and only truly useful for a buff that covers less than the Venomthropes do.

>>54056860
Malanthropes are useless at 200 points. That's as much as a Dimachaeron, which does far more than simply give a few models a shroud. While it might be a tad undercosted, it's not strong enough to just jump up 110 points.
>>
>>54056027
>The only new plastic kits I can see happening are a Biovore/Pyrovore combo kit.
They're not going to release a new Tyranid Codex without new units, and the first new unit they're going to go for is going to be a FUCKBIG XBOXHUEG bug.
>>
>>54057053
Malanthrope should probably be around 150 points. As it stands right now it's auto-include. You're hugely understating the power of the -1 hit buff, and it not only hands that out to MCs unlike Venomthropes, but it's also Synapse, and it's ALSO untargetable due to being a 9 Wound Character. And it costs LESS than the mandatory 3 Venomthropes.

Hell just for being a 9 Wound synapse character alone it's already a better deal at 90 points than a Tyranid Prime, and you throw in all the other buffs? It's ridiculous.

I main Tyranids and I would feel dirty running that thing for so fucking cheap.

The problem with the Malanthrope as compared to the Venomthropes is scope of usability. The Malanthrope can literally only be used for the purpose of keeping a few things alive. Venomthropes can give a far wider buff to far more things than a Malanthrope can. If a Malanthrope did what Venomthropes do, I'd honestly want them buffed in points because that is actually unfair. Regarding the prime, it also has a far greater buff than the Malanthrope does, but only targets a select few units. I am actually of the opinion that the Prime should be lower in cost, because it's got such a niche that is hardly as viable as the Venomthropes. Making the Malanthrope capable of being targeted is something I will agree with you on, though.

im not in the materia but are those Marines too old? like too old to play? not legal ? or are they sticking out when i buy actual new marines ?
>>
>>54057817
No minature is too old to play. Unless rules for the figure just don't exist anymore, which is not the case for the marines, you can use your old figs no problem. You can even use discontinued stuff as stand ins for other things as long as the substitutions are clear and the weapons match.

Besides, some of the current official Eldar models date from 1993.

Anyone of yall have any experience with blue stuff?
