Absolutely, the first step is to abandon all hope and realize that your pathetic contribution to the gods' grand design was never going to end well for you or your wretched convocation.

After that it's all gravy. Renegades have some sweet conversion and fluff opportunities. I like how "rabble" lost and the damned armies can be, power armored CSM next to traitor guard next to raggedy cultists.
>>
>>54195971
Renegades as in hordes of whipped rabid cultists backed up with buffing characters among heavy arty and some daemons ?
No never gonna happen in 8th.

Even if we get a fw faq by Xmas next year we're still stuck with a shitty overcosted versions of conscripts with none of the typical IG support.

The army sacrifices a lot to get and gets nothing. Our shit cost more we got no real force multipliers besides gimmicky one-use psypower


Add some "renegade" arty to a CSM list full of havocs and tanks.

Or simply add spikes to a pure IG regiment


Lol we don't even get manticores

I don't see the downside in running a vanguard detachment of just disciples and marauders. You can get 50 models on the table with auto cannons and plasma, and a hellhound, all at bs3+, for 500 points.

>– Understrength Units
>Change the second paragraph to read:
>‘If you are using Power Ratings, you must still pay the Power Rating cost as if you had a minimum-sized unit, even though it contains fewer models. If you are using points, you only pay the points for the models you actually have in an understrength unit (and any wargear they are equipped with). An understrength unit still takes up the appropriate slot in a Detachment.’

Tyranids:
battalion detachment
(normal army goes here)

Genestealer Cult:
auxiliary support detachment
(single understrength unit of neophytes hybrids, one model, 5 points total)

Imperial Guard:
battalion detachment
(normal army goes here)

Is this a legal battleforged army of 3 detachments?
>>
>>54197285
Yeah, but most tourneys only allow two detachements.
>>
Why are there two generals this time?
What meme triggered who?
>>
Ok, so a typical game of Warhammer 40k before was 1850points. Any idea where in the new rulebook it states what the new "normal" power value is? I'm looking at pages 176+ of the rulebook, but I cant find a specific value.

I understand that one army can be stronger than the other now, but there has to be a value you can orient yourself on?
>>
>>54196908
'till new codex wave
>>
>>54197317
2000 points is standard now. 1500 is for medium games, 1000 is for small games.
50 power = about 1000 points, so 100 power would be "standard".
I doubt you'll find any tournments using power over points , tho.
>>
>>54197356
Thansk mate. Is there a point value on the new datasheets? (If so, where?) Or is there a way to convert the power points? ooor do you simply take the values of the 7th edition?
>>
>>54197317

2000 seems to be accepted as the new normal for tournament play, so that's what'll be taken as the typical value.

When it comes to Matched Play with points, both players are expected to bring an army as close to the agreed points value as possible (but no higher). It's Narrative Play using Power Ratings that it's ok for one army to have less Power than the other, as there's advantages to being the underdog in missions.

We have played games with a maximum Power of 20, 30 and 50 Power. Anything more than that, and we prefer using points.
>>
>>54196086
I'm fucking LOVIN IT.
>>
>>54197381
Points for units and wargear is in the back of the Index books (and presumably the codexes, although no 8th edition codex is out yet)
>>
>>54197317
When did it ever say what the 'normal' points value/power level was?
>>
>>54196086
Come to think of it, why is this called the "big red book", I just assumed the first or second edition was red and it stuck (joined in 4th)m but none-of them are.
>>
>>54197408
rumor has it the new codices won't have points values at the back and the points sheet will be available on the GW website.

Basically what >>54197654 said.

7th edition renegades were basically budget guard, but with TONS of customizability. Now they removed half the rules, and the majority of customization so we're left with units that are worse than guard and nothing to make up for it.

Hi there. I'm fairly new to /tg/.
I used to collect wh40k in my teenage years, left somewhere before 5th Ed, and now I'm starting to feel the call of plastic, glue and paint once more. My wallet's begging me not to do it, but I don't know if I can resist.

I thought I would go for Orks or Imperial Guard but I read 8ed made Russes and Ork vehicles shit, and I love Russes and ork vehicles. So, if mechanized IG/Orks army aren't viable anymore, I could go Space Marine and try murdering my wallet just a little less.

If I go for Space Marine, I would make my own chapter, something like pic related. I'm not really sure about that design : can you tell me exactly how shit it is ?

They'd be some sort of renegade chapter, disgusted by the Imperium, a bit between corsairs and knight errants, defending human planets from both xenos and imperial forces, while their naive idealism slowly, but surely drives them towards Chaos. Basically, CSM in the making.
>>
Anyone has a picture to show size comparison between GK terminators and Primaris?
>>
>>54198511
Seems alright mate, do you intend on using the csm rules or just sm rules?
>>
>>54198511
Ork vehicles are pretty good and way way way better than 7th ed Ork vehicles.
>>
>>54197464
From what I remember it is the reverse. Point values will only be available in the codexes.
>>
So, how is the debate on OOE and Broodlord buffing themselves going?

Did the FAQ clear anything up?
>>
>>54198511
Only small issue with a renegade chapter in those colours is some people will think you're playing night lords. Depends if that bothers you.
>>
>>54197891
I always assumed it referred to the Compendium, which was both big and red.
>>
>>54198575
Really ? If I go Orks, it would be a mechanized warband, with Trukks, Battlewagons and a Gorkanaut. I'd like to include Killa kans because i love the models, but in every single batrep I've watched on youtube, they ended up as overpriced targets, never being worth their points.

>>54198570
SM rules. They'd still be fresh defectors, not worshipping Chaos yet. Having a Knight follow them in their doomed crusade could be nice.

Why is the best chapter the hardest to paint
>>
>>54198641
That's true. However, they would have big white markings on their black pauldrons and still look in every way like normal SM, so I don't think there would be that much confusion.

I've no idea what they should be called, though.
>>
>>54196086
I'm quite enjoying it desu. Battles are far faster and no longer forgetting a million different fucking special rules and abilities. it seems after every battle me and my opponents message each other "shit, i had forgotten X unit can do Y".

Streamline, but tactical depth wasn't affected. I don't like the blandness though, but codexes should fix that without bloat.
>>
Man, if the Start Collecting set of the Tyranids had Termagants instead of Gargoyles it would be fantastic.

Glaze techniques work really nice... but if you slip while adding detail on your non-yellow trim it's a massive pain to fix
>>
>>54198511
Russes lack a bit of firepower for their points but hellhounds and self-propelled artillery are pretty damn good, and Trucks will get your boys to wherever they want and Battlewagons can be given ludicrous amounts of dakka.
>>
>>54198755
I don't really know. I haven't read much of 8thEd fluff. I just know they're some sort of super-space marines recently unveiled.

If SM armies can be all-"normal" marines except for one squad of Primaris, they would probably have one such squad. They would have a different color scheme, like the BA's Sanguinary Guard looks different from the average marines.

If not, just normal marines.
>>
>>54198786
This. I would not recommend a glaze style, you're putting all your chips in the "I won't fuck up" basket. You don't want to have to try to fix a glaze job. Ever. Best to only use glazes as finishing touches and when they're actually required.

>>
>>54198809
Well, if you're looking to play long term its not a bad idea to start with primaris as you can get like 1k points worth from the SM side of the new starter and you can normally find people selling it for like $50 too so its not that expensive (and they will be getting a ton of new toys the normal marines likely cant use). They can be fielded with normal marines but they will eventually succeeded them altogether so its something to consider

Add raveners to flank while the opponent is distracted by your horde of fexes.

Devotions replace orders
And the fact you can ally with fucking chaos units is the final benefit of fielding them.

There are no characters in the renegade list. They forgot to give the key word to the commander and enforcers meaning the only thing keeping your 30 shitty overpriced and worse version conscripts from running can be sniped at will.
Unit size changes from unit sheet to the point cost table.
They took everything that made the army good and fluffy and threw it out of the window to replace it with shitty overpriced units which are useless.

Bioplasma on fexs is bad, short ranged and expensive. You might as well go in melee or get a Biocanon.
Wrecker claws are the shit with the scything tail, try that. Scything tail does not force you to attack with it, nor limits you to 1 attack, so you can freely clean tanks or hordes as you wish.
Downgrade to trygon (regular) and give him the warriors, the other warrior squad gets a biocanon and babysits the exocrine.

rending claws are kinda bad imo but someone is probably gonna call me a faggot for it. Give regular Scything talons and a biocanon to the flyrants. Or two Scything talons and get that sweet +1 attack.
Consider getting Hiveguards as well they are the shit.

Because common sense and faq/errata do not exist.

FFS who is going to deny the enforcers are not characters? Who gives a shit about unit size differences....pick one and play.

This kind of bitching is getting tiring and boring. THERE IS NO PERFECT GAME. This gamr is immense. GW could have told everyone to fuck off and wait and you and your ilk continue to fucking bitch.

X-Wing has like a thirty page faq. NOT PERFECT.
BATTLETECH is a new type of matatics in complexity.
Dropfleet/zone both have garbage indices and rule books and have units that are shockingly poor.
Infinity is boring as shit.
Warmachine latest edotion may have just killed the game entirely.
AoS is kinda simplified.
Kings of War is over complicated and boring.
Star Wars armada has eight billion tokens and a large faq already.

Shall I go on? Point is you like 40k. Play evil guard or play something else I do not give a shit. But do not expect broke as all hell shit in eighth and then bitch about it when GW in this edition is explicitly anti bullshit.

I’ll be sure to take any chance I get to seek out and crush any loyalist or traitor forces, I’ll make sure to bring the full might of my Necrons to bear and crush those young pups.

Not at all. They removed the word "other" from longstrikes version of the rule, implying he might buff himself.

Then they put up a FW unit focus on stone crusher carnifexes which said OOE buffs "all carnifexes", including stone crushers, which he RAW doesn't because the rule does not use keywords, then GW took that unit focus down from the community website.

Nobody has any fucking idea what the intent is at this point but RAW is still no.

An overcosted, but fun mess. I'm planning to run Straken, Nork, a Priest and a Psyker in a Chimera with a Scion squad. I've used Straken before, but he costs a lot for what he can do.

If you want a good MC hunting unit, just use 6-8 Bullgryn. Cheaper and will do more damage. Use a blob of 30ish Conscripts to protect your artillery from being charged or deepstruck next to.

For 315 points you can get 5 Wolfguard bikes with a Thunderhammer, Chainswords, Stormshields, and Combi-meltas. Then the Rune Priest biker has an aura cover spell.

Imperial Fists or any other fleet based chapter, you could come up with an IF successor that specializes in boarding actions exclusively.

There's also the chapters that were stationed around the eye of terror, not sure if they still exist but they would most certainly be focused on naval operations as they cannot assault into the eye of terror and must fight the heretic from getting out of the eye.

The hive crone is meant to be for air superiority but it's weapons are too weak to actually hurt aircraft and it's melee is mediocre.

4 Bullgryn

2x Chimera
1x Valkyrie

90 Conscripts
2x Infantry squads with HB and Plasma
3x 5 Scions with Plasmas

2x Basilisk
1x Manticore

Straken, Nork, the Psyker and a Scion squad ride together in a Chimera. 4 Bullgryns fly in the Valkyrie, 4 go in the other Chimera. The Conscripts, Harker, the Astropath and the artillery stay back. The other Scions deepstrike, the infantry squads go for objectives and take potshots, Pask stays back and picks off vehicles.

Remember that despite the 10-30 movement they can turn on the spot and charge/be charged. They're kinda bad in close combat and have to always fall back because of the minimum movement, but the scream can be useful in big combats and they can use the sporemines cysts to snipe characters with flyover mortal wounds before going in.

It's not even that simple, you see Dark Angels are literary a homo joke on GW's part.

Their primarch is named after a fag poet, their homeplanet "The Rock" is named after a homo bar in Nothingham.

Okay, so let me get this straight. I can create an IMPERIUM keyword detachment, and I can fill that detachment with any units that have the keyword IMPERIUM, regardless of what army they actually come from?

So, for instance, I can have a detachment where all my infantry are Space Marines, but I can use IG artillery, and it would work because they're all from keyword IMPERIUM?

That's a lot of interesting possibilities.

In my opinion, the Toxicrene got hit with a massive nerf bat to the face while the Maleceptor got a slight buff. Personally I'm going to build it as a Maleceptor because a) I like the fluff, looks and rules and b) the phrase "as broad as a Baneblade thanks to the tentacles" is not exactly a selling point for a Tyranid model, which are atrocious to transport at the best of times.

Do Necron Warriors go on 25mm or 32mm bases? They come with 32mm bases, which is weird because Immortals come with 25mm bases.

Only issue I see is a warrior's feet hang off the edges of a 25mm slightly due to their wide ass stance.

Want to check now before I start basing my army.

Good idea. At 2000 points, it's about time to start adding in a LoW.

So basically, after 1500 points, you're looking for a LoW to add.

Shadowsword is often one of the best options, simply as a hard-counter vs other Titanic enemies. It can also basically pop the fuck out of vehicles and monstrous creatures.
>>
>>54201133
They are mediocre, not R&H kind of bad but really lackluster. They lack speed and/or survivability as a close combat race and their shooting suck as much as before. Also, while boyz became a viable choice, some of their previously decent units (lootas, bombas, mek guns) lost their efficiency.

tldr : if your list is decent as IG you shouldn't have much trouble dispatching them.
>>
>>54201160
What about a Stormlord ?
>>
>>54201044
They are both in 32mm but Imortals where once on 25mm.

Also, if you don't like the "don't mind me, just taking a shit here" Warriors stance you can easily reposition their legs by cutting them and a bit of greenstuff. You have some tutorials on the net, look them up, it's pretty easy and makes Warriors much more dynamic.

Even before the HH I still say is the apocalypse. Humanity was in a much better state than now for sure, but the path to damnation was already set with the Nids, Necrons, and of course Chaos looming over everything.

Even with the emps, it was already a stagnating corpse of an empire built upon the ashes and remnants of a far greater past.

Dark Eldar can sicc a group of Grotesques after you. 6s To Wound from their Flesh Gauntlets deal Mortal Wounds, which is pretty easy considering they have a sizeable number of attacks.

By fluff, orks loot shit constantly and use it to build their own stuff. So trukks and battlewagons converted from other factions' vehicles has always been a thing.

The "use a looted vehicle as that vehicle, but with orks" doesn't currently exist. If the Looted Wagon comes back, it'll probably be similar to 7th edition's generic-vehicle-with-options design.
>>
>>54200754
Better option would be to use Imperial Guard's Infantry and Fast Attack slots, while using the Space Marine Elite slots. SM infantry are fucking terrible and should never be used because of how astoundingly mediocre they are, while imperial guard infantry are straight god-tier.

On the other hand, SM has the best elite slots in the whole game. Between DREADNOUGHTS, and Terminators chilling with a land raider.

Also the guard Fast Attack slots are amazing. Outflanking sentinels and rough riders got some rather huge buffs this edition.

nah I did investments when I was younger with money they gave me. Stocks. Penny Stocks if you want to make the odd £1000 here and there. I've got £50k in Premium Bonds. Well worth it. 1.18% return where as if the £50k was in a bank I'd be lucky, extremely lucky, to get 1% and that's on deluxe saving accounts. Current accounts are like 0.25% at best. I've got ISA's. My mum invested in a Stocks and Shares ISA, turned like £50 a month for 20 years into £45k by investing (20 years ago) in environmental shit. That's just some shit. It's all good senpai.

Personally I would go 'no' if you want to use Cawl. Since he's pretty good. If you're happy with going without Cawl or have mates who are OK with letting him use his rules for OC, go with that. As it is I don't think there is ANY other named characters for the Ad Mech for any other forge world.

>>54201938
That is correct

You can't. Auxillia isn't a regiment.
>>
>>54201932
Again, until Codex AdMech comes out and gives rules for different Forge Worlds AND the rules for Lucius, Ryza and what-have-you end up being exponentially better than the rules for Mars (which won't happen), just paint Cawl AND the rest of your army in whatever colour scheme you want and count them all as Mars.

A re-roll is statistically superior than +1

Fill it with HWT and have fun. Its fun to drop that many dice. I lascannon, autocannon, or missile launchers are good choices.
>>
>>54201938
how about the aura and transport rules, where this is explicitly spelled out?
>>
>>54201979
And even if it were, GW have made their stance on <Keywords> fuckery quite clear.
>>
>>54201936
What happened to the named characters? I read somehwere that current Marines CAN be upgraded to Primaris at a vast cost. Is that true? I want Dante, Mephiston, Helbrect and so on buffed up.

>>54201989
Hmm, if Salamander Command vehickes get their option to swap the flamer for a HB back might swap, but Trojan it is otherwise.

>>54201960
I don't see where its clearly defined, under pic related it just says if I'm within 3' at the end of my movement

In the tabletop? no they can't. In the fluff? they didn't say anything about it.

Again?

And, I'm stuck dealing with autistic (in one case literally) manlets at my shop. They're fucking terrible sports whether they win or lose (save for the autist who's actually good about it).
There's only a few people of decency around, usually the workers.

>>54202047
>Again?
Someone asked almost the same thing last thread and it's literally the best advice I have to give. If someone tries to tell you what colors to paint your army, tell them to kindly go fuck themselves.
>>
>>54202037
>Embarked units cannot normally do anything or be affected in any way whilst they are embarked. Unless specifically stated, abilities that affect other units within a certain range have no effect whilst the unit that has the ability is embarked.

Read the damn rules. There's only 12 pages

He probably wrote that to overlap with AOS fluff, which is likely

To europeans, it is.

They all used to be on 25mm and GW just recently changed to 32mm, so you probably got an old box.
Since templates are gone and you're obviously not modelling for advantage no one worth playing is going to give you shit for that
