So, TG, how have you been? Great, so I came back to 40k after I get some free time again and wanted to play again since I left back in sixth, but my group told me 40k is death because it got sigmared apparently, I despise AoS and everything it stand for, so the question is how much of this is truth? I play space wolves and guard by the way, how have they changed? Do I have to stick with older editions if I want a decent game?

>>54107793

Strategy is to move the Arks forwards in waves, one rank moves, other stays still then alternate next turn. Rapid fire infantry, big shots to big things.

1. Vindicators are poop, go Predators and Land Raiders. I dont love the Daemon Engines because BS 4+, but they're okay.

2. Without venturing in really heavy conversion work, You'd mainly just be doing head and weapon swaps onto the AoS bodies. Easy stuff.

>>54107810
What do you hate about AoS? Upset they saved a game that wasn't even in the Top 10 sellers, let alone Top 10, and is now 4th?

>apparently

Oh so you're just another one of these concern trolling retards. Fuck off. You got your replies.

>>54107890

Phoenix imagery is pretty accurate, 40k is dead, 40k is here.

The 3rd edition framework lasted most of the game's history, and as sad as it was to see it diseased as it was the last few editions, it's sad to see it go.

8th is a decent system, less personality, but decent. Has a few pros, certainly isn't 7th.

Stormravens hit it on 4's, by the way. They have PoTM. And have way more firepower.

But either way, have fun with your little cuckplane.

>Stormravens hit it on 4's

Check the Corvus profile before you shitpost.

>-1 to hit because flyer
>-1 to hit because anti-air add-on

+5 to hit regardless of what its armed with

And at 2k points, 7 anti-air Corvus vs 5 Stormravens means more assault cannon shots on 4+ in hover and more anti-air missile shots on 3+.

Corvus spam is the future, nobody has realized it yet.

>>54107621
Painboyz aren't an HQ, so likely the box is being changed.

Help me out here someone,

If I pick up a Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter, it has the option to add 6 Skystrike missiles to its loadout. Do I pay for each single missile in points (15pts) when playing matched play? Or do you only just pay for one in the loadout?

When firing with them, can you fire all 6 if you wanted in one round of shooting?

No it doesn't. It's selling better than WHFB ever was. That's all GW care about. If you don't like that, go and cry to them and tell them they shouldn't care about profit as a profit driven business. I don't give a shit about AoS but denying it's doing better than WHFB is fucking hilarious, when WHFB was shit from 1995 onwards. So, unless you played from 1987 to 1995, you got no right to complain.

Pathetic. Call me back when the Corvus can take plasma cannons AND a pair multimeltas.

And if the Corvus hovers it loses both hard to hit and supersonic, so there's no penalty to shoot it. Not even from Infernum launchers.

It also can't carry dreadnoughts.

Anyone play any games today?

I did my first game for our escalation thing. It was almost a 2 hour 500 point game, but that's my fault for doing nothing but infantry. It was his first game of 8th and we decided to do kill points with the basic 3 of slay the warlord, linebreaker and first blood.

I had 30 Conscripts, a Commander, a Commissar Lord, a Priest, 2 infantry squads, a Scion squad, a Mortar squad and a Missile Launcher squad.

He brought 5 Primaris Marines, some Captain, some kind of Dreadnought and a 5 man assault squad.

I lost by a few in points, but we were pretty close to tabling each other in the end. I had my Commander, my Priest and the Scion sergeant and he had 3 Primaris Marines left. I rolled like absolute garbage all game. We had about 4 spectators watching all my awful rolls and all his amazing saves.

There was also some confusion on the Dread and he thought he had a 2+ save. I think that might have changed some things, but I don't really mind, it was a great game.

Played a game of Deldar vs space marines. I think I must be retarded because my units were moving 16"-24" a turn but it ended up taking me untill turn three to reach his battle lines.

Succubus and archon went on a rampage slaughtering tons of marines, 62 points of wytches did really well and killed about 15 marines while my 240 point reaver squad struggled to beat a 10 man tactical squad in combat.
His captain heroically died by being run over by a raider.

>>54108393
Sounds fun. Also sounds like he stayed back. Dark eldar seem great this edition.

>>54108410
-4 ap EVERYWHERE.

Also, turn three everyone with power from pain gets +1 to hit in the fight phase? Is that right?
Because my come turn 3 my whole army was hitting on 2s, what's the point on the +1 ws drug if everyone comes in hit on 2s naturally anyway?

>>54108393
>>54108410
So with agonizers so cheap now, I tough they'd be the only real choice for haemoculus and wracks, but looking again a fair number of the choices seem decent.
The whip is twice the points for damage 2, scissor hands trades an ap for an extra attack. And venom blade lose the AP, but wounds twice as often.

Flesh gauntlet and mindphase seem terrible though.

>>54108331
I love seeing your prisoner conscripts, they're absolutely fluffy

>>54108180
Using "muh 5+ mofucka" doesn't matter since the Corvus also hits the Stormraven on 5's, since it lacks PoTM.

So the Stormraven can move supersonic AND shoot at full BS, while to shoot at full BS the Corvus needs to sacrifice all of the penalties to shoot at it.

And it doesn't have multimeltas.
And it can't carry Dreads.
And it can't take plasmas.

Devs can also combat squad and may benefit from future rules

Did the prices on GW's SoB models go down or was I looking at the wrong store a few weeks ago?

14$ for heavy weapon models and I have notes recording them at 23.

Seeing as pretty much every Ork player is creating a MA Warboss with him, it isn't too difficult.

Seeing as y'all weren having a dandy time last thread, can any Grey Knights players tell me if there's a decent advantage to taking Dreadknights?

I mean, they can do some good damage with the hammer in theory, but 4 S12 attacks hitting on a 4+ just doesn't seem all that great when you can grab a venerable dread with lascannons for virtually the same price.

Am I the only one that thinks that? Aside from slight increase in resilience to small arms fire and potential for DS Dreadknight feels like kinda crap.

>Using "muh 5+ mofucka" doesn't matter since the Corvus also hits the Stormraven on 5's, since it lacks PoTM.

Until it hovers, which it will on turn 2 after evading at worst 80% of all shots thrown at it and then proceed to knock out one Stormraven guaranteed.

>So the Stormraven can move supersonic AND shoot at full BS, while to shoot at full BS the Corvus needs to sacrifice all of the penalties to shoot at it.

Full BS still means hits on 5+ until the Corvus spam hovers and stats knocking Stormravens out of the sky. At which point, it becomes a numbers game where the Corvus will always outnumber the Stormravens and have more shots than the Stormravens. The Stormraven spam will literally have to make every shot a wound to outdamage the Corvus spam by that stage.

>And it doesn't have multimeltas.
>And it can't carry Dreads.
>And it can't take plasmas.

But it will kick a Stormraven spam out of a tournament.

I was recently debating if I was going to get a stormraven or a land raider crusader to carry my terminators. I went with the stormraven, but apparently that makes me a WAACfag and so I regret my decision.

>>54108631
I think you want to run Dreadknights with just dreadfists and two shooty weapons as a ranged fire platform now. In melee it is really only good against other, bigger models, whilst its ranged weapons have a high ROF and reasonable Damage too, making those very versatile.

>>54108061

>>54108692
nowt wrong with taking a Stormraven to move a Terminator squad about. If you make an army of Stormravens that's a different matter

>>54108381
Still working on getting things ready for 8th, but in love with Nob bikers. Kustom shoota and big choppa, with some kombi-skorchas and klaws in the mix, you're getting so many shots and attacks from each one. And 3W each means they aren't as heavily effected by tge plethora of D2 weapons, like regular bikers or foot nobs are.

Speaking of Orks, how the fuck does pricing for Nobs in squads work?

>>54108620
It gets the wrong special rules when taking a chaos mark.

>>54108727
>Speaking of Orks, how the fuck does pricing for Nobs in squads work?
They cost the same as a regular boy, it's a free upgrade.

>>54108692
Taking one of a unit never makes you a WAACfag. It is only when almost your entire army is one single unit repeated endlessly, your dice are loaded, your tape measure is 'stretched' and you constantly bend and break rules if not straight up cheat that you are a true WAACfag.

Ultramarine Armored Company, 50 PL/1000 Points, Spearhead Detachment

Chronus
>Land Raider Crusader w/HK missile, Multi-melta, Storm Bolter

Predator
>HK Missile, Predator Autocannon, Storm Bolter

Predator
>HK missile, Twin Lascannon, Two Lascannons, Storm Bolter

Whirlwind
>HK Missile, Castellan Launcher

Whirlwind
>HK Missile, Vengeance Launcher

The idea was use models I already own for a tough as nails armored squadron that can forgive the mistakes I'll probably make because of how tough they are. I think I might want to drop the multi-melta for heavy bolters on the autocannon predator though.

>>54108707
>Thing is, they make really really good red shirts

>>54108692
Its rather like pretty much any "WAACfag" tactic. One or even two isn't a problem, its when your entire list is comprised of a single unit that it becomes a problem. I think a lot of it is skewed because we here at /40kg/ seem to take tourney play as fact for what me and you are doing at our FLGS, but what WAACfags want to do is solve the game, find ways to eliminate any interaction and win games without thought. I think it's important that when you hear about some shitty list strategy, look at your armies, see if you go "wait, I don't do that", and don't sweat it. If you do, then...have fun at tournies, I guess.

>>54108803

For the last time... that does not actually work. The number of attacks you sacrifice by leaving those boys out of combat is equal to or greater than the number of attacks you gain from Thraka's bubble. This is just a needlessly complicated maneuver with diminishing returns.

After getting horrible suggestions on tg all fucking day long I decided to run a Thunderhawk Transport that carried a Prometheus landraider

Both the hawk and the landraider were filled to the brim with various outfits of Inquisitor Acolyte squads, All the unique Inquisitors and a dozen or so vanilla Inquisitors

On the ground I ran 3 repressors filled with 4 multi melta sisters and more acolytes

I also had 3 dominion repressors filled with more melta and acolytes

For the fucking hell of it I had two deathstrike missiles too, deployed behind BLOS.

Two assassins to help my acolytes out if they get stuck too deep.

Once my acolytes started to deploy in great numbers the chaotic mix of weaponry on the squads made my opponents get hung up on target priority.

Multi wounds weapons were targeted on my vehicles which left the simple D1 weapons to shoot my acolytes which needless to say my acolytes tanked it easily with their 3 wounds.

with near unlimited +2 "Look out sir" rolls many of my inquisitors dared to charge headfirst into.

My turns were staggered and two of them were just spent on positioning. Because of the nature of my army I disembarked and embarked again several times in the match

I won against every opponent and went 5-0 and I'm going to play the remaining matches tomorrow.
My matches were very quick, my phases were easy to play out and I rarely had to look at the datasheets since I had so few different units.

I don't think I could play this way with any other army. I think it's a decent "general" list.

I had some issues with assault armies, but since I had dozens upon dozens of plasma pistols, power axes and power maces. Most of the assault units that rammed into me weren't equipped to face a solid wall LD10 W3 models.


I'll report back tomorrow.

>>54108694 is completely right. Dreadknights have good guns to choose from, but they're all fairly short ranged. They are good for supporting GK infantry, while dreadnoughts fill the vital niche of giving the GKs long ranged anti-armor weapons. They don't really compete with each other.

As someone new to the lore and story and shit can someone explain this to me? I've recently read descent of angels, I know a bit of the others from getting into a few factions and I don't get this idea that the Fallen were/are good guys.

Luther in descent of Angels almost lets Lion die to a nuke becuase he is jelous that he was born the same time as The Lion so all of his achievements are shadowed by his.

Luther accepts the power of Chaos Gods to fight The Lion

Many fallen have become full blown chaos daemons

Astallan was proven to be a liar in the Ravenwing book and in the horus heresy book where the Lion learns the Emperor is still alive and the Lion hurrys to get to Earth to aid him, not dallying in the warp like he says

Cypher joins Thypon, one of the most traitorous astartes in Horus's army, knowing he who he is, and happily fights alongside him

fallen kill millions regularly, or entire planets just to play with the Dark Angels


Sorry if I am being niave but I'm lost, just trying to get caught up on some lore and shit.

>>54108869
No, you're just fighting smart/creatively at that point. Especially if that character has a field that generates a morale boost or something similar for the surrounding unit.

>>54108869
A bit, a simpler way might be to have a cheap unit at the front, HQ behind somewhat and another unit behind him as units that deepstrike can only do so 9 inch away, this way any that deepstrike do so a fair bit away from your HQ and are forced to shoot them before the HQ.

This way you can have 17 inch between the first squad and your HQ and likewise with the second squad.

>>54108919

Cypher and the Fallen in late 7ed+8ed lore bait Imperial forces to locations of interest in order to fulfill their agenda. Sometimes its for the better, alerting Imperial forces to a hostile presence or invasion indirectly. Sometimes its a trap or a distraction to steal something vital to their plans.

All we really know for certain is (A) none of the Fallen know Cypher's true intentions and (B) Cypher needs to get into the Throne Room to accomplish what he has sought for 10k years.

So to shoot effectively the Blackstars need to stop moving, and even then they still have a -1 to hit the Ravens. By doing this they allow to Ravens to hit them on 3's.

So even when stopped the Blackstars are at an even bigger disadvantage. When both are flying they have BS parity.

So then the question is which has more firepower.

The Blackstars have, over the Ravens,
>4 AC / LCs
>4 Stormstrikes, or 2 Blackstar launchers

The Ravens have, over the Blackstars
>5 hurricane bolters
>10 multimeltas

Seems to me like the Ravens have superior firepower, and have as good or better effective BS.

>>54108919
iirc, 'Dark Angels are the real traitors' thing is more of a meme than actual fact. I don't know very much about D. Angles and Fallen lore-wise, but the fact they come off as paranoid as hell and are willing to another loyalist Space Marine strike cruiser just to keep the idea of the Fallen a 'secret' from the rest of the Imperium does give off the vibe that they're trying to hide something from the rest of us...

Can the Blackstar vs Stormraven meme die already?

Let me kill the thread;

Stormraven can be run mono without any sacrifices on the ground or in the air

Blackstar can't

>>54108788
I get that, just getting used to tge idea after so many editions of otherwise, especially with the bigger stat difference between a boy and a Nob, compared to most sergeants.

>>54109061
That's literally the only scenario where the Blackstar is better

Therefore god

>>54108998

In a 2k point scenario, it would be 7 Corvus vs 5 Stormravens

7 Corvus
>7 twin-linked assault cannons / 84 shots
>14 blackstar launchers / 14 D6 shots
>7 hurricane bolters / rapid fire 42 shots

5 Stormravens
>5 twin-linked assault cannons / 60 shots
>10 stormstrike missiles / 10 shots
>5 twin-linked multi melta / 10 shots
>10 hurricane bolters / rapid fire 60 shots

Potentially 210 shots hitting on 3+/4+ in hover vs 140 shots hitting on 4+ in hover

So not only are there more Corvus, but Corvus can outshoot the Stormravens as well. In addition, its to the Deathwatch's benefit to have the Stormravens go first and position themselves in striking range so the Corvus can go straight into hover mode and start blasting.

From that point on, its a dice game - but the weight of dice favors the Corvus by far.

14d6 blackstar launchers vs 10 stormstrikes
50 shots, if the blackstars are hovering and didn't move, and the stormravens are flying then they need a 3+ to hit. 33 hits, 5+ to wound. 11 wounds, 4+ to save. 5.5 failed saves at 1 damage each.

10 stormstrikes, needing 3+ to hit if corvus is hovering. 6.66 hits, 3+ to wound. 4.4 wounds, 6+ save. 3.6 failed saves, at 3 damage each.

So the 14d6 blackstar shots gets you 5.5 damage, the 10 stormstrike shots gets you 10.8 damage.

Don't act like more shots = more better

>>54109102
Stormstrike missiles are better than Blackstars. The blackstars will struggle to wound and beat the save of the Ravens, and they're 1 damage, with a random number of shots. Are you retarded?

>hover mode and start blasting.
But why would the Blackstars go into hover? It gives them 1 worse effective BS than the Stormravens?

Literally just a meme man, can be confusing sometimes. They are loyal but sometimes do some bad shit. Where chapters like Utramarines may see themselves as a cog in the Imperium; the Dark Angels see themselves as allys to the imperium at best. So its Dark Angels first, Imperium second.

This is due to a few things like Caliban was transformed from a land of forests, oceans and lakes to a hive city in a matter of a few years, Emperor naming Horus the Warmaster while the Lions and the Dark Angels victories shadowing his and little things like this that left a sour taste in the Lions mouth. But at the end of the day he'd step up for the Imperium. We'll know more in August/September when his model drops with some more story I guess.

>>54109206

Cool numbers. Now average all the weapons together please.

>>54109245

Corvus don't have PotM so they're stuck hitting on 4+ while moving. And if you want to move your planes spam around the board the entire game, you're better off bringing your own Stormraven spam. But in optimal conditions where Corvus can unload in Hover mode to get better hit coverage, attrition game will favor the Corvus barring horrible dice rolls.

>>54109003
I liked it better back when it was the DA were ashamed that some of their number could fall to chaos, as well as the Imperium being so unforgiving that the Chapter would all be marked traitor if it got out, rather than the "maybe the DA are the REAL traitors" thing.

If corvus moves while supersonic, it needs 5s (4s with the launcher) to hit the stormraven, stormraven needs 5s to hit the corvus if it's got flares

Half true, as is oft told by a daemon. The Ethereals (and their Eldar masters if old lore still holds) manipulate the Tau; but the Greater Good itself is just their own take on securing the galaxy in the name of civilization. In that sense, the Tau are fighting for the same thing as humanity and the Aeldari. They just work for different masters and are divided by ideological indoctrinated bigotry.

Sure, but they're also twice the cost. What you gain in durability you lose in raw damage, taking a swarm of Hellions will almost guarantee you the first turn depending on how you cheese it, meaning they won't lose but more than sprinkling of models to overwatch.

>>54108381
Kombi-Skorcha nobz with Power Stabbas are flat out amazing, roasting whole squads of spacemarines before attacking them with powerswords.

Big choppa nobz are great for killing light vehicles and are very cheap, while dakka nobz with ammo runts are actually okay at footslogging as they have t4 grots to tank shots for them.

The whole Fallen are the good guys thing is more a meme than anything else. It could have been a good plot point but g-dubs wrote themselves into a corner way back in 2nd ed before they decided that all lore was Unreliable Narrator. Back then the DA's dirty secret was that they had a chunk of their legion turn traitor and that was enough. Since then the Lore's been expanded and all legions had their own traitors which rather blunts the impact, so the focus has shifted from the rebellion itself to the fact that unlike the other legions traitors, the Fallen are still around (and maybe other stuff that GW hasn't alluded to/thought of yet) and the DAs build up an ever growing litany of Sins trying to cover up the fact.

As for the Fallen themselves The Gathering Storm has then have a mix of motives, with some being loyal to the Lion others to Luther. Essentially a rag tag bunch of loyalists, heretics, renegades, mercenaries, pressed men and dudes who'd really rather be left alone.

>>54109307
>DA were ashamed that some of their number could fall to chaos, as well as the Imperium being so unforgiving that the Chapter would all be marked traitor if it got out,
Honestly, I'm inclined to believe this + "DAngels are THE MOST LOYAL CHAPTER EVER!" thingmay caused the "Hey, maybe the Dark Angels are the Traitors and the Fallen are the REAL Loyalists!" meme in response.

>>54109351
>Half true, as is oft told by a daemon.
I'd lean more toward it being true if the daemon's a Khornate one. They strike me as the least likely of the Big Four followers to bullshit/play mind-games with their opponents. That's more Tzeentch's thing anyway.

>>54109415

No idea but I agree.

My main tactic is to drop terminators, a lord, a sorcerer and two squads of ranged weapon raptors down turn one and do as much damage as possible.

Humans also willingly join the cult without magical brainwashing, for a chance at immortality or other religious sense of duty. Then it "grows" on them and before they know it they're literally breeding generation 2 genestealers out of their women, willingly.

According to the new Primaris captain datasheet, the captain can be used with Deathwatch.

>>54109560

You're dropping a Thunderhawk on whoever you play and shitting a FW Land Raider on what survives the drop. It doesn't matter if you deployed fucking Squats from your transport at that point, you're going to wipe out everyone except WAACfags.

>>54109517
True, but it also is tantalizing bait.

I really like the Acolyte hybrids and neophyte hybrids that aren't in IG armour. The HQ looks awesome, and the Goliath is alright too.

People generally want flying transports dead asap. So if you're going to take 1, either take the 1 you like most or the 1 that is most likely to survive the ride to the destination.

>>54109639

I wouldn't know, I got into this hobby a few months ago

>>54108358
what are the models on the left?

>>54109520
Don't know, no game experience with them.

Looking at their rules it's obvious what they were going for.
Splitting the force down the middle you've got the cult stuff and the genestealer stuff.
Cult stuff is all swarms of cheap infantry with a few hidden heavy weapons, all completely focused on shooting yet does it's best work at short range.
Then you have the genestealers which are small elite groups of melee monsters, very fast moving and dangerous but no ranged weaponry whatsoever.

The idea is to use the cult stuff as the vanguard of the army to dismantle/clog up the dangerous stuff so the genestealer stuff CSM do it's thing.

>>54109625
Hm, something to consider. I'm gonna have him running pretty much the whole game, so I don't know how much I'll get out of two shots hitting on 6s only.

>>54109639
Oh man I forgot this came out before the new primaris vehicle. Cawl steals yet another tau design!

Incant tell if that's a real model or not, which is incredibly depressing.

>>54108472
enemies that bring much AT weaponry have more trouble taking your Devs out. also they can receive any buffs that target friendly infantry

>>54109594
their termies are already good enough

>>54108331
I had a DG vs PM match with my bro, mainly just learning how to play since we've never actually played 40k before. It was a bit confusing at first but I got the hang of it. I have to say, actually playing the game has given me a lot more motivation to build up an army and paint.
We didn't pick objectives so we were just playing last man standing; the game ended with a 1v1 between a Primaris Lieutenant and a Lord of Contagion. You can probably guess the result.

>>54109651
There's a lot of creepy genestealer stuff hidden in the lore, they've fucked with the DNA of humanity for tens of thousands of years on some planets, making certain populations more accepting to 'the cult'.

All it takes is one dormant genestealer awakening or infected human to arrive to the planet for the "sleeping" uprising to begin. Greed, corruption, fear and a very human desire for power takes care of the rest.

>>54108197
>when are they going to add newborns to our turbo alien killer vet squads?

>>54109727
You can't take the terminators solo, so no they're not.

They're overcosted, it would be cool if you could run them in 1's or 2's. But you can't.

Sucks. They're awful when you're forced to take 5 of them.

Farsight entered an Imperial war ship via its Marco Cannon. And he was greeted by this sight.

>The munitions deck hangar, its vaulted roof hung with great chains that clinked in the gloom, was a vision from some primitive underworld hell. Red-lit and cavernous, it was filled with a thousand labour-serfs, each bent under the whip of a cruel slavemaster. Together the slaves hauled chain-lashed munitions shells the size of transmotive cylinders into position. The prototype’s atmospheric samplers conveyed the smell– a vile stench of human sweat, vomit and excrement mingled with a nauseous upswell of oil, gun lubricant and mildewy slime. Farsight wrinkled his shio’he, but did not cut off the sampler.

I thought it was a meme but it turns out to be true. The Imperials manually load their big ass fleet guns. What the fuck is the wrong with the Imperials? The HAVE SERVITORS and MACHINES. There is no need to be this damn primitive about things.

>>54109673

You'd think with guns that big it would be plausible to start using vehicles or machines to load.

>>54109759
Servitors and machines stop working if power is lost or diverted to engines/shields. Raw manpower doesn't.

>>54109849
I've never understood the point of that bit.

Why is there just a single shell hanging off the back if the cannon is on the front?

What's the best kinda dread to load into a Stormraven and Drop amongst the plebs who can't hurtle a high altitude dread at people?

>>54109873

At least the Imperial slaves have jobs. If they were in the Tau Empire, they would have had their job replaced by drones! You go ask those displaced fast food workers if they'd rather be toiling away at their old job or unemployed and replaced by a computer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the answer to this question is always "Leviathan", unless you absolutely cannot fit in even a single HS unit for the tax.

>>54109898

Leviathans have M8, they don't need a transport to consistently be in combat by the end of turn 2.

>>54109759

The only plausible explanation is there was systematic failures across the ship at some point, requiring all hands on deck to manually load the gun's batteries. Human labor simply cannot reload naval guns fast enough in a naval engagement.

>>54109928
Read Dark Imperium my dude.

>>54109892
Notice a lot of things are Web Store exclusive now? I tried to get my FLGS to order some Sisters, they said GW won't let them.

GW is trying to starve out 3rd-party sellers because those sellers are selling at a discount. So they're losing money. Thus they put important items, say, Basilisk or some entire armies/ranges/desired items (Sisters, Vostroyans, Basilisk, some Heroes, etc) ONLY on their store. So if you want a TOTALLY COMPLETE ARMY? You HAVE to buy from THEM at FULL PRICE.

They make more money.

>>54109933
Clearly your taskmasters need to whip harder.

>>54109929
They're selling on eBay for $70-90. I just paid $35 for 9 NIB sets. You do the math as to why I bought them.

>>54109759
>basic everyday Imperial worker labor is like a vision of hell to the Tau

Lol fucking soft ass plebs can't wait for the Night Lords to visit them

>>54109933
Macro Cannon could be using autoloaders, so the slaves are constantly adding the last ammo to the loader so the Macro Cannon always has a number of shots ready.

>>54109952
Good point, I see what you mean.

>>54109952
>So they're losing money.

You mean they are losing profit. They don't take a loss selling to retailers because that's part of their standard operating method. Even at the prices which GW sells to retailers, they still generate a profit, they simply generate less profit compared to if people bought full price from GW directly.

>>54109971

Honestly a Tau's reaction to the Night Lords would probably boil down to: "I'm sorry, is there a point to all this? I really don't see one."

>>54109971
All the more reason to join the tau.
