Fellow Fa/tg/uys, does anyone have the Dark Vengeance 8e booklet? Trying not to loose it to the ages now.

Specially now that I finally found other players in the dark reaches of the undeveloped southern hemisphere.

I like 4 Chaos Legions. Which do you suggest?

Death Guard

Word Bearers
>Cool colour scheme, cool lore. Interesting gameplay focussing on weird stuff like cultists and summoning. They don't have anything unique though and still use the crappy old CSM models.

Thousand Sons
>Cool lore. Good gameplay. Updated miniatures. Look challenging to paint. Not a fan of Magnus' model or use of him in a game.

Black Legion
>So so, lore. Allows most freedom. Easier to paint I assume. Old models however and they are very generic.

Oh fuck off, you sound like that youtuber who made that video about the term 'God Emperor' being used in Trump supporter vocabulary.

It doesn't matter, fucking planetary genocide, conquest or any of that utter crap, that notion is the disgusting piss-poor opinion of a weakling pampered citizen who knows nothing of conflict, necessity, duty and honour, and will always shittalk them no matter what until put at the end of a fucking rifle on the firing line.

You people are the very driving force behind tyrannies, because when you swell up like the insatiable self-serving antisocial cancerous tumours that you are, you become a fucking threat to the stability of the ground you stand on that was built on the very principles you protest, "Because it's not good" enough. Well dipshit, let me tell you, when people go enough is enough, they fucking mean it, and people like you are the first to feel the fucking burn, your mindless spouting finally making you the victim wannabee pariah, as you get killed to set an example for the others en masse.

Ambition is built upon the corpses of those you trample upon to reach it, conflict is the nature of the universe, all you have was earned through strength and valor or your own wit, and denying this is to become a total scumbag who can't accept that the world doesn't revolve around your tunnel vision worldview.

The Emperor did what he had to do, end of dicussion, and you should be grateful that he did it, because I know lazy maggots like you would sit around moaning until Nurgle's rot arrives to claim you in your worthless evil stagnation.

Nothing is more vile than the products of weakness, they hold no benefit to anyone other than an example of the price of failure in this world.

It is a golden standard that people like you should be killed for merely existing, because before all others, you are naught but a dangerous influence if pandered to in even miniscule charity.

Death Guard.

They are actually obscenely easy to paint, because you can work with shading, dry-brushing and technical paints for the most part and leave the hard stuff out.
Seriously, I have two left hands and can't paint anything but Nurgle well. Aside from the trim there is nothing you need the least bit of skill for.

The converting is currently hard as hell because the Plague Marines are horrendously out of scale with the rest of the CSM range, but once they get more modular kits, that won't be an issue anymore.

And if you enjoy the looks and the gameplay, then you should definitely go for them.

>>54206331
They do that with every kit that makes different units.
>>
>>54206329
Right now rubricae or deathguard.

Unaligned need new models desperately.

Until deathshroud gets released plague marines are unfortunately mobility restricted but that should be solved before long

You wanna know why Tyrants do horrible things to their people? Because they fucking know that when they get into power, the cunts that made their domains so fucking shit are you horrendous exemplars of what not to be as human beings, and they realize just how fucking evil you all actually are as a voice heard in the publics eye, so they fucking remove you like you should be, for being ungrateful for sacrifices and the privileges those who have strength have granted you, and to undo the damage you have done by voicing opinions from a pampered cushy worldview. There is no stability in your words, as they are empty promises based on one's greediness and vice left unchecked, and seek to undermine a citizen's understanding of their place in the world, which is to serve and benefit the strong, so that they too may receive some measure of power for their own to rise their position in the world of their own earning, thus continuing the cycle that allows for prosperity.

Weakness is the fuel for the evils brought forth by untamed choas left untampered by law It must be purged with the structure and strength attained for effort and hard work to overcome it.

The Emperor did nothing wrong, he is human, and can make mistakes. Beyond his limited social circle due to being the new man, and haste in all that led up to eventual entombment on the Golden throne, he did his best, and achieved many of his goals giving mankind a chance against a world that does not accept them or care for them, as the lack of friendly Xenos would display when the Imperium got fucked by the Iron Men The universe gave mankind a fat slap to their old dreams that everything was going to be Mass Effect Star enterprize tier and they learned to cope by the old standards which never became outdated, even since it dominated Terra for the centuries before it became a blasted desert.

Evil is an outdated social concept only fit for those who do it for it's own sake, nature and necessity above all.

GW ported over many parts of Age of Sigmar, not accounting for rules that 40k had which WHFB didn't. Thus you get wonky mechanics like:
>Plasma explodes at night.
>Flamethrowers shooting aircraft.
>Removal of Fire Arcs. Fortifications like the Imperial Bastion are now fucking Beyblades.
>You cannot assault an Airborne vehicle if you do not Fly. However, you also cannot move under or go past it. 2 Stormravens sidebyside become a forcefield of "Fuck You"
>"spam a unit" Detachments which mean you might as well play Unbound.
>GW renaming factions for Maximum Copyright. See: Drew Carey.
>GW doubling down on "if we don't make a model for it, you can't play with it" (See: Ork Looted Wagons, Ard Boyz, Carapace Veterans).

Proxies for Razorwing Flocks. A single Razorwing is 7 points, and is S2 T2...but it has 4 wounds and 8 attacks (that only hit on 5+). However, when near a Beastmaster, they reroll to-hit.

This means a 70-point unit can on average roll 126 dice, just to hit . If you add a Farseer for doom, this means you can roll over 200 rolls to hit and wound on average for a single 70-point unit!

Losing looted wagons and hard boyz sucked, they sell a shoulder pad upgrade sprue and the model for looted wagons is another factions vehicle and trukk or wagon kit.
Though most looted wagons could be fit as a trukk or wagon, just loses some flavor.

Also you can't tell me cutting ALL special rules is a good thing, having 10 different names for feel no pain and stealth just makes more opportunities for poorly worded rules interactions.

And no matter what edition, some of us orks will build models that are too awesome for any codex entry. Like pic related. Though forge world gives some good options like mega dreads and battle fortresses

Having ten different names means that you can write rules and confidently expect that they will only interact with the rules you want them to, instead of creating FNP 1+ stacking monstrosities as a bunch of random rules you never expected conspire to produce something real stupid.

So, we know that DG is getting their own codex in one of the first four. What exactly is going to go in it? At present, Death Guard has 6 units not included in the basic CSM units (though Plague Marines are definitely making a showing, so make that 7). That does not seem like enough content to fill a book with. I know that a lot of the codices are going to be flavor/stratagems/subfaction rules/relics, but aren't they also getting full rules for all of their units? Is that section just going to be tiny for DG compared to "full" factions? Or should we be expecting a bunch of new DG units to drop to fill out the codex?

So today I gm'd a game between two people who did their first 8th edition game, Tyranids vs Imperial Guard, only 500 pts. Hive Tyrant, zoanthropes and 40-50 gaunts vs infantry only guard without a single unit of conscripts and an evesor assassin.
Guard won, it was suprising to see how strong those orders make what seems like not that impressive units. Also discovered that a missile launcher shooting frag does D6 shots, not D3, which makes me wonder why you'd ever take a lascannon when the missile launcher is that versatile.
Tyranid player did make quite a number of poor decisions however, he was still operating in previous edition mode where you only shovel everything foward and charge, without having to think about how you move your charging units for example (if you don't encircle those units with your 20 hormagaunts, then yes they will just walk away and get a Return into the Fight order) It was also funny how upset the Tyranid player got over how three missile launchers did 6 wounds with three krak missiles on his hive tyrant.

The 10 different names for scout are worse, especially as they contain "if both players have units that can do this", which clearly means all the various scout flavours and will assumedly be played as such by almost everyone, but RAW a squad of domions with the "vanguard" ability and a squad of sentinels with the "scout vehicle" ability have no way of determining who makes the scout move first.

>having 10 different names for feel no pain and stealth just makes more opportunities for poorly worded rules interactions.
that's bad templating, not a bad concept. Keeping all rules under the unit profile makes it easier to look up what your model can do.
Different names wouldn't matter if they had a consistent templating of rules. Which they don't. Also consistent templating but different names would let them maintain the often different rule details.
>>54207095
to be somewhat fair on that point, the rules are slightly different for different models.
Some get a move, some get set up in that phase, and the move length differs.
And it's pretty damn easy to figure out.
And rules being in the unit profile rather than looking back in the main book over and over is better.
>>
>>54207310
Not only this but giving a unit a special rule just to say they get a 5+ armor save is stupid

That's disappointing to hear about the Vindicare.

>>
>>54207278

umm, who has that.
The invuln save thing makes sense because they wanted to keep the stat block always being an armor save to keep it clear, but I don't recall anything having a rule that give it an armor save.
>>
>>54207334
Ratlings are the best snipers in the entire game, on account of being the cheapest. The only thing about snipers now is their ability to spam mortal wounds on anything, which makes them a somewhat mediocre Anti-everything unit. Just like 7th though, snipers are only effective when spammed.

Mechanicus would throw a shit-fit. Uninitiated tinkering with machines is tech-heresy and grounds to immediate servitorisation. They don't even allow their own menials to alter machines, let alone some random Imperials.

Regiment would be handed over to the nearest forge world and lobotomised before being reassigned to shitter-unblocking duty for the rest of their lives.

Remember machines are literally sacred to the Martians, it's not like you can go 'I made it 10% more efficient' and they'll check and go 'You're right! Thanks buddy, we'll add this to the archives!', you've violated a holy object, perverted it from the Omnissiah's designs and then had the gall to claim you've improved it.

Mechanicus reacts to laymen altering machinery in the same way the medieval Catholic church reacted to laymen altering scripture.

fluff, as usual, is a bit varied on this.
Engineseers are few enough that some fluff does have guard assigned to certain machines taught various 'prayers' and 'rituals' what are basically simple maintenance and repair techniques, but memorized by route.

I'm trying to remember the source, but there is a bit of fluff where you see a field stripping and cleaning and reassembling a heavy weapon, but it's presented like he's going through a complex prayer routine.

Spam Ratlings for mortal wound dakka, but Skitarii Transuranic Arquebi are also pretty good and also work against light vehicles by basically being an autocannon shot with AP-2, D3D and Mortal Rending. Expensive, though, two with Ignore Cover and the mandatory ablative wounds is 107 points. Their biggest asset is probably the ability to Crit any major character to death in two or three volleys, since they'll botch an Invuln eventually. Once had two of them take six wounds off Bobby G.

Hey /40kg/, I'm currently in the process of writing some homebrew to port the Legion Custodes stuff from HH Inferno to 8th ed since there's no chance of FW doing it any time soon. Is there any interest in posting the PDF here when I'm done?
Also, is there any particular interest in porting over the Sisters of Silence stuff? I don't have any interest in them so I have no idea if they have anything particularly unique outside of their transport.

Frontline tank=hellhound, banewolf if you really have a problem with MEQ.
If you really want a Russ, demolishers, battlecannons, punishers and executioner (but only if you have some source of re-roll 1s) are the okay variants, but aren't very points efficient in terms of dakka
For artillery tanks, they're all good, the manticore shines a little more than a basilisk, but a basilisk is appropriately cheaper, and you'll have more points efficient shooting from many cheap as fuck mortar teams than a wyvern, although its more survivable than them.
>>
>>54207697

Interesting. Also tempting to go with but I think with Dominions and Exorcists, anti-tank isn't really too much of a worry for the force. Exorcists with d6 Str 8 -4 d3 wound shots do some serious work this edition now that everything is statted like MC used to be.

They aren't primarily dakka. They're super tough and hold objectives, keep shooting, etc very well.

This shit is starting to bother me a fair bit, because a lot of people complaining about some tanks or other vehicles not having enough vehicles compaired to infantry are ignoring this pretty stupidly.
You need to balance your ability to put out dakka with your ability to put it out, but ignoring how fragile HWTs are compaired to the vehicle options is stupid.

With it's completely utility build with no shooting or melee ability to speak of, it's not really worth that much power, but it's definately undercosted in points.

question about pistols.

When in melee does it mean I can shoot my pistols (normal balistic skill) at the enemy I'm in combat with or does it mean if I have 2 attacks I can use one as a pistol and one as my melee weapon?
>>
>>54207982

People have worked out how to make them one turn suicide units, but that's not really the same thing.

You can play Warhammer like Chess and trade pawns, but honestly it's pretty weak strategy to design a unit around one turn of use. Instead, build redundant and be willing to sacrifice.

>>54207994

Shooting happens during the shooting phase. The Attacks stat references the number of melee attacks you make during the Fight phase. You shoot pistols.

>past turn 5
In the three games I played, none went past turn 5. I no one was tabled on any of them, but by the bottom of turn 5 the games shifted enough that one side typically conceeds.
Not that the games were totally one sided, they were back and forth and very close, but at that point we can look at the objectives and see that one side wasn't going to be able to get ahead without truly crazy dice.

This is pretty normal though, and in a tournament I would have kept playing as how much you win by matters. And in the three games I time was a factor.

This isn't that bad, games have a decent chance of just ending bottom of 5 anyways.

Efficiency isn't the issue in this case (though the damage ceiling is still really high). It's just the metric fuckload of dice involved.

The worst-case last edition would be 50 FRFSRF Conscripts with Prescience but in practice you didn't bunch up because templates. In 8e, you can get 200 rolls to hit for 150 points. You can add "reroll 1s" to this. Copypaste this and even if you lose, you will drag your opponent down in boredom.

He made Girlyman much more likeable which I applauded, but Typhus is still "I did it for the lulz, dad! GAWD!" tier troll and followed the "I was just pretending to be a father so you did my shit for me lol!" Emperor stuff. He tried to at least balance it by suggesting that the Emperor did it cause he cared about humanity rather than 20 specific people. But this whole "They were tools, Barry.

HWT do a ton of damage for their points, and die if looked at too funny.
Russes can do decent damage, while dishing out damage. Battlecannon+HB can be sitting back and hurting from turn one. Punisher can get up quick enough to start hurting things and can take the up front punishment.

The problem is the shit mountain of BL novels collapsed into a shitstorm landslide. With the sum of written HH+DI lore taken into consideration, there is absolutely no way anyone can look at the Emperor as anything other than a failure of a 10 billion year old prophesied savior.

He constantly fucked up again and again despite being a master manipulator and genetic engineer, He constantly almost died despite being that dude who went on a rampage through the Realm of Chaos and soloed the Void Dragon, and He constantly took the worst possible option whenever possible because Hes a stupid robot just like the stupid 1000 or so shamans who agreed to sacrifice their lives to form the ultimate superpowered automaton like the stupid robots that they were. Oh and He is an asshole of a leader for humanity's sake, which only tossed fire on the traitor's cause for fighting the Emperor because Hes a fucking asshole who only cares about humanity.

Fuck Black Library. Fuck ADB. Fuck the lore. And with the death of Alan Bligh, HH lore might never be good again.

conscripts aren't putting out damage. See above.
Infantry squads with HWTs aren't putting out the damage per points as much above russes as you think. Nor are they as tough for points compaired to a Russ as you are thinking. T8 really does matter that much.
And can't hold that one point you need to hold as well as a Russ, and can't move as fast as a Russ unless you give them a transport, and hey look now the damage per point is down again.

>>54208878
Despite being a HUGE ADB critic, let me play the Devil's advocate for a second. When confronted with the MoM criticism, he pointed out something: The Emperor is ALWAYS shown from someone's perspective. We are never given HIS insight into things. He specifically points out that Big E calls Magnus by name at the beginning of the book, and that the only ones who are present when he calls The Primarchs by numbers are The Custodians, who are shown to dislike them.
So while i'm still incredibly pissed about all the Chaos wank and the other bullshit he pulled, maybe he legitimately wants to keep The Emperor a mythical, divine character by giving us only other characters' perspectives on him, perspectives that are coincidentally the same as what they'd expect/want from someone they consider an ideal leader and a savior.
Or maybe not, i don't know.

Propaganda is one of the main themes of 40k, and the Imperium are masters of it. Emperor's strong yeah, but he's still able to be beaten. Imperium would just have you believe otherwise however, just like how they tell peasants that Space Marines are his literal angels from heaven.

You need to re-read that book. The Emperor did it as a test. The exact word is "The Ork Warboss was 'struggling to choke the life from the Emperor". The Emperor did it to see if Horus would save him or let him die. This was the decision that allowed the Emperor to go "yeah he can be Warmaster instead of Sanguinius".

My biggest issue is still that ADB turned Drach'nyen into the most OC doughnutsteel daemon there ever was, with so much plot armour even Sisters of Silence have zero effect on it. And also the background story for it he created, where Drach'nyen is the daemon that came into existence because of the first murder, which is somehow done by humans.

That's right, the whole War in Heaven, Necrontyr's society, all those eons when humanity was nothing but some bacteria floating around ... Nobody murdered anybody during that time. Humans totally did it first.

I also rolled my eyes about the female Imperial Knight household baroness. Imperial Knights are like the only sexist faction in 40k (besides SoB) but ofcourse he had to put another waifu in charge of something important.

I am very sure Arckan Land is present and HE recalled Emps referring to Angron as 'it' and 'XIII'. Also Arckan shivers and felt really unnerved about how cold he was toward the Primarchs- 'they aren't my sons'- which seems to refute what ADB said (or whatever) on Balls&Cucksword. If the Emps is such a master manipulator, why did he say those things that make Land uncomfortable?
If ADB said that, it sounds like he is trying to do damage control after all the sharp criticism- which with shit like ' MAH previously unknown SUPER DEMON even Emps can't kill and 'Gav Thorpe tier forced tie in to my other book series' he certainly deserves

Yeah he made some huge tactical mistakes.

DESU I'm just mad at my Russ for doing so bad all the time it's a really cursed tank. The manticore does waaaaaay better.

It's a very nice stance you've taken, easily being able to paint anyone who disagrees as an insecure bigot.
The problem is that he doesn't write these characters because he just thought of a great way to improve the story and a great character to do it with. He does it to fill a quota. He doesn't create a character who happens to be a woman or a minority, he creates woman/minority characters and then hamfists them into the story, usually to it's detriment. Most of the time these characters wouldn't be any different if their race/gender were. And almost all of them are completely unnecessary.

We see the Emperor once without any psy-glamour, perspective-fuckery, when the Sisters of Silence march past the Throne, they see an ordinary man with his face contorted in agony.

The manticore never gets shot at because it hides behind a building and kills a predator tank in 2 turns.

The Leman Russ meanwhile shoots its plasma turret, gets 4 shots, rolls 3 ones, takes 6 more damage from the plasma. Oops. (Then my guardsmen also kill themselves with overcharged plasma in the same turn when they roll all ones, leaving the squads only with lasguns.)

I mean I play guard so I don't really have elite units, and the manticore is actually amazing at killing everything, and I have hordes of guys to deal with most things. I'm actually worried guard is too strong and nobody will want to play against me. You don't even have to try to make a strong list, just take whatever you want.

There's nothing wrong with female characters. The problem is when they're injected because they're his fetish. In the Master of Mankind, there is Sisters of Silence. Brilliant. He can write some awesome characters with that, they're women. So what does he do? He invents a new OC Baroness who is super determined and stands up to Custodes and shit and saves the Emperor and fights in the webway and has all these awesome Knight suits. Okay, fair enough. But this isn't the only book he's done it in. The majority of his books he has done it in. Again, this wouldn't be a problem if they weren't obviously put in for the sake of it. You should go on his twitter, he has an agenda with this. He does it because it's his fetish. Which would be fine, but he can't do any book without one. The First Heretic? Yup. There is a woman who is super important to the plot. Who is tanned/brown.

Nearly every single one of his books is like this. This wouldn't be a problem if they were either 1. Established important characters (Like Krole) or 2. Not important plots. But they're not important characters (until he's written them) and they're in important plots. This is a guy who advocates more black women in sci-fi on twitter and runs campaigns and shit for this. That's fine, I applaud him for doing that, but it's obvious he's using his position to force what is essentially his fetishes into a setting which is detrimental to the fucking setting.

If he wants to do a random story with all his shit, do it. Why doesn't he write Sisters of Battle stories? Oh yeah, that's right, he hates the Emperor. Can't have that. Instead he makes up random OC's who are super important to the plot, super important to the entire setting or who are just there for quota. This comes across in his writing.

If you think people have a problem with female characters, you're retarded. Poorly justified female characters or in the case of MoM, the introduction of a needless female character, sucks.

The levels you're going to justify your kneejerk bitching about characters, purely because the author's politics trigger you, is pathetic. So what if 'he has an agenda'? Oh no, mean ol author adding wimmin and niggers into mah fiction >:(

They aren't badly written characters or shoe-horned in, they fufill a role in the plot, you essentially agree with that in your post, aside from the bizarre objection to authors creating new characters to flesh out stories, something that every single HH novel has done because otherwise you'd have the Primarchs, the Emprah and one or two marines like Bjorn mentioned in existing fluff.

Thats what they are, its 5 decks for generating games .

There's a deployment deck, objectives deck, twists deck (things like night fighting and orbital debris) as well as the ruse and sudden death decks for the player with less PL to give them a leg up depending on the difference.

Examples from the video was getting back a dead unit from reserve as a ruse and winning the game if your warlord kills their warlord as a sudden death (when the underdog has less than half the PL of their opponent).

Not being triggered by the inclusion of women in ficion isn't chivalry mate, it's just a lack of misogyny. It's the norm.

So which characters aren't by this standard? You wanted an entire novel of the Emperor and Malcador talking, because they're the only pre-existing characters described in old fluff.

Then stop objecting based on gender and color. As pointed out elsewhere, the Blood Angel and Baroness are essentially the same, both fallen Imperials redeemed by the battle in the webway.

I like the idea of procedurally generating interesting missions, but dislike how imbalanced this is. It's very clearly made for open play, and the last two decks (ruses and sudden death) are explicitly made for imbalanced forces. People have already pointed out how silly it is that one player could show up 3 PL shy of the other and get the Ruse that lets them revive a single unit and deepstrike said unit, potentially leading to stupidness like bringing back a Knight or similarly huge unit with value greater than the initial discrepancy. Of course this isn't as much of a problem for super casual games where players don't care about balance, but it means that anyone who DOES care about having a fair and balanced game will get very little use out of these decks. Which is sad, because I'd love something like this actually designed for matched play.

No, what he did was ''Ok, new woman/minority, mmmm, fuck it, * puts them in random position of authority and has their character have ZERO relevance to their gender/race most of the time* ''.
>Good to see we've got to that stage.
>Pulls out the sjw dictionary of ''people who disagree with me''
>Feigns maturity and class when responded to in kind
I'm half convinced you're trolling.

For matched play just don't use the ruse or sudden death decks, or if you do both players get a card.

Movement trays! All you need is a drill and appropriate bits, some 1/8" wood sheets, and the appropriate basing materials. Build them in wooden strips of around 5 staggered soldiers so you can move them 1 squad at a time with both hands.

Note the example pick has rounded corners so you can stick characters in between squads to provide buffs.

if you're trying to "game" open play, you are the literal definition of an asshole.

open play is for fun so min maxing it is fucking stupid as fucking fuck.

who cares if you get that ruse that lets you re play that knight.

there's no gaurantee that that will be your ruse, and if you want to knights that bad you can just bring two knights.

but gaming it like you are is the most neckbeardy WAAC i've seen in a while.

That's cool. So what, you get two strip pieces of wood, hole saw one out with the right size holes and then glue onto the intact piece?

Will Grey Knights get Primaris'd do you guys reckon?

On one hand, I'd like their models to get the Primaris treatment, but on the other, even Guilliman refers to the Primaris as "Cawl's abominations" and I can't see the Knights being very open to tinkering with their creation methods, considering how they're the Emperor's final creation and designed for something far more specific and vital than normal marines or even Custodes.

Potentially compromising that with some dubious geneseed manipulation cooked up by a borderline tech-heretic is going to be a hard sell to the Grand Masters.

Has Forgeworld said anything about the Sonic Dreadnought getting rules?
>>
>>54205658
Mostly for the special rules and point costs.

>>54205779
Yes I did search them. No sign of the 8e booklet there.

>>54207556
The one who originally asked the question, but not who you quoted:

I'd like the datasheets from the unique units and their point costs, if possible. I think only the Chosen have a different data sheet though, since their war gear seems to go against the index' rules.

Thanks in advance!
