Hey guys,

I'm looking for some advice.

Its been a month since I bought Dark Imperium, and I'm finally done building and painting my Deathguard models.

I want to try them out in some games, but I don't really know anyone.
As such, I am thinking of just going to the LGS and hoping to find people to play with. This will be the first time I will be going to the LGS other than when I went to pick up the dark imperium box, and I don't really know anyone at the store.

As such, I just want to ask for some basic etiquette advice.

1) Should I just bring my army to play on my first trip to the LGS? Or should I just go and introduce myself first?

2) I still have the loyalist side of the Dark Imperium set which I am honestly not too interested in playing. I was thinking of giving it away to my brother to try when he comes back, but I was also considering looking for someone to sell to. What would be the best way to go about doing this at a LGS? Would it even be appropriate?

3) I am brand new to the game, and quite frankly, not too familiar with the game even if I've tried to read the rulebook a few million times. Whats the best way to keep a game going smoothly while still trying to figure out the rules as I go?

4) I would like to expand my army if possible. I Know the Death Guard in Dark Imperium coems up to about 900'ish points. How would I find someone to talk to regarding what models I should look at buying next in order to buff the army up to about 1500 pts?

5) Anything else I should keep in mind?

>>54278954
Unfortunately I ended up tabling my buddy at the end of turn 4. Some good plays had my venerable dreadnought charge and wipe a squad of destroyers, while a combination of my Land Raider Crusader and the Deredeo wiped out nearly all of the left side of the board.

The rest of the game just had me sweeping from left to right, wiping out squads as I went. With the MVP of the game going to the LRC and my tartaros terminators. Being able to engage and destroy 3 targets simultaneously with just a single unit is hella great.

>>54278974
>>54278985
Maybe some more highlighting, but otherwise it looks fine to me.

>>54278987

Look through the index and the GW catalog and decide what looks fun or interesting

Is anyone actually excited for Mortarion's release? He's one of the most pathetic cucks in the 40k universe.

>>54278987
1)
Either call up the store and ask if someone wants a game, tell them you're new or just show up with your army and ask store owner to help you out
2) Just ask in store if anyone wants to buy it, alternatively ask the store owner if he knows anyone who wants to buy it, as long as it's on the sprue it should be fine
3)
tell opponent you're new, they'll understand, or ask store owner and he might supervise the game and help you out
4)
depends on what playstyle you want
5)
do you have your own dice/measuring tape?

I believe it was "The Stormlord" or something like that. He ended up dying to a Reaper AC volley, with a nice follow-up of 5 relic blade attacks.

This game was pretty strange, both of us simultaneously forgot our dice, and we didn't have enough money to buy a dice cube. So we both downloaded some kind of physics-based dice simulator on our phones.

I don't care about Mortarion but I'm looking forward to plague marine and terminator boxes.

>>54279061
Honestly, if it looks good to you now, just go with it. Cameras are very different than seeing a mini in person. I learned long ago that working too long on a mini can do more harm than cutting things a little short. Most of us always feel it's not good enough, but you might think differently when you have the whole squad lined up on the table.

Good luck with it, anon.

I keep buying more and more plastic army men to try and fill the void in my life but it isn't working.

Also someone is tampering with my mail but I don't know who or why. A package of butanone arrived today that I ordered quite some time back, only the box had been ripped open. The glue still seems to be there, but who would tear open the box like that?

I have no friends and the only game store that does wargames is prohibitively far away, and does 40k only one night a week (so they can have mtg be the rest of the week)

Is it worth taking Power Mauls over Power Swords on Death Company?
I was looking at the mathhammer and they just seem so outclasses when compared to Power Sword. They're better at taking out GEQ and light vehicles, of course, but not by a significant enough degree to warrant taking them over Power Swords (which are better at taking out both TEQ and MEQ infantry as well as medium and heavy vehicles).

Should I make 5 Power Sword guys and 5 Power Maul guys or should I just go all in with 10 Power Swords? Bits are no issue.

>>54279113
He did have another character that managed to take 7 wounds off of my Ven-Dread, and when it was killed in turn, it had some ability to self-resurrect on a 4+. Although it did fail that roll.

What the best armor Mark for Black Templars?

Mk3, Mk4, or the standard Tactical Marine box?

>>54279147

Swords are better than mauls this edition. Used to be the other way around.

I'm going to get a box of scouts to make Neophytes for my Black Templars. How should I kit them out? Bolt Pistols and Combat Knives, Shotguns, Boltguns, or some kind of mix?

>>54279114

sounds like the government
you're on a watchlist now

>>54279169
BP+CCW if you're going to charge things, bolters otherwise.

>>54279147
Well, Mauls do better at dishing out more D. At 2 over 1 they are better on guys with one or two attacks base to give them an advantage for having less attacks. (example: in all my squad leaders for my wolves getting them because the damage out put outclasses the the extra -2) It also all comes down t what you are fighting

pick armies that have some qualities you reflect well not perfectly obviously. the models are your friends your family. think about stories of them and paint them with the love they deserve.

>>54279156
That doesn't sound right either. Trazyn can res himself, but only be replacing another non unique character and on a 2+.

>>54279161
Mk III for shooting, Tacticals because finding chain swords for them is easy and you dont need forgeword help

>>54279161

mk 4 for regular guys mk 3 for sword brethren

Last thread said terminators were op and that tartaros were monsters.

Whats the loadout for them all claws?

>>54279131
dark angels mostly, a few orks, a bit of used tau off ebay to strip and repaint, some sigmar even...

I haven't played a game in a very long time so I collect and paint whatever I feel like at this point. If I painted everything I'd probably have some 10000 points of mixed space marines, plus another 4000 or so chaos marines from when I was younger. I've thought about selling old stuff just to be rid of it, but it isn't worth enough to go through the effort. Collected over the course of 15 years or so.

>>54279142
tried that too. I have a vindicator still in the shrink, five rhinos that have been stripped and repainted a few times, two land raiders in different stages of completion, a razorback, two really old whirlwinds

>>54279219

That guy was full of shit, but Tartaros is the best loadout for all LC since they're the fastest. Cataphractii 4++ is really clutch for any unit, especially assault ones, but the move speed penalty is crippling.

I would not run all LC TEQ if my goal was to be competitive, but I know RG or Carcharodon players are going to want to spam their claws.

>>54279219
Non-shooty tartaros are bad. The best loadouts for them are
> 1x Plasma Blaster+Grenade Harness on the sergeant
> 1x Reaper Autocannon
> 3x Combi-bolters.

If you want chainfists, they should both go on the Sergeant and your Heavy, so that leaves your 3 'squadies' as ablative wounds. Also works really great with a Land Raider to get them into a prominent location.
> Get into prominent location after your LR gives you an opening
> Shoot 3 completely different units with 3 different weapons. Combi-bolters+grenades at infantry, Reaper AC at an Elite/heavy, and Plasma Blaster at another Elite.
> Then charge a 4th unit and wipe it off the board.

You don't get this upsurd utility with Lightning claws, as you can only target and break a single unit.

I really hope the AdMech codex comes out relatively soon. The meta for them has quickly devolved into just, shooty Kastelans, Neutron Onagers, Electropriests, and Cawl. Maybe with a squad or two of skitarii for snipers or a charge screen. Everyone I've talked to considers everything else in the army utter trash.

Guilliman wanted to study the history he missed and in doing so realized there were huge gaps where records were destroyed, blacked out, or missing entirely and was able to figure out the huge mess the Imperium was. He also started his own anti-Inquisition force called the Historians or some shit to recover history and cockblock the Inquisition because he was sick of the Inquisition covering 90% of the Imperium's records in black sharpie.

No worries. CSM but with Daemons being a potential part of my army know I don't know if I should branch out into them. I have plenty of infantry, maybe some big boys or chariots?

>>54279693

200-300 is normal if they don't die in battle. After that you start getting called "old". Certain chapters like Blood Angels live longer than others and don't become old men until much later.

>>54279693
Considering Dante is like 900, the sky is the limit.

>>54279693
Oldest loyalist marine is 1100 years old. So marines can totally live 112 years but those 112 years were the most brutal years in the history of the Imperium. Entire chapters were wiped out and those that didn't get wiped out were decimated.

>>54279693
Once you get past a couple hundred you're "grizzled elder of the chapter" tier if you're not dead or dread by then. There's a reason you don't see marines with more than 2-3 service studs. They just all die or stop counting. BA are different cause they stay young longer due to their geneseed and the vampirism with the actual diluted blood of Sanguinius, and SW seem to become hairy old men faster for whatever reason.

For my fellow Carcharodons players, I just stumbled upon this page on instagram. I'm not a fan of Carcharodons Primaris fluff wise, but as I said yesterday, anything goes if it's well done, and those are definitely well done. Look up the other pictures.

I mean, it is. He can even hold conversations and shit whenever he's awake. He's not really "living a life" but for all intents and purposes he's "alive".

>>54279745

Two to three battle barges. Fleet-born chapters can have more because they operate solely from their fleet and would thus expand the fleet with excess materiel rather than something like fortifying or improving their planet or home system. Carcharodons have at least one large ship per company with accompanying fleet since each company operates independently.

GW says "most chapters have two or three" battle barges, which are the largest class of marine ship.

Fuckers lose battle barges all the time too, plenty of stories of abandoned or lost battle barges being re-found as possessed ships or infested space hulks or what have you.

I mean, Te Katurangi is said to be removed from the original Exiled Ones by only 3 generations in Red Tithe. That would make him several thousands of years old.

A Rhino Primaris is not allowed to have the Grey Knights chapter keyword, meaning it can never repair your GK vehicles. Unless you give your other vehicles a random chapter name alongside the Rhino Primaris, but then your GK are not allowed to embark upon them.

A Nemesis Dreadknight is not allowed to have two of the same ranged weapons.

In other words, nice illegal armylist. 0/10, put it in the bin.

He's partially right though.

>>54279826

They also travel in the void and get void sickness due to lack of nearby gravitational giants, which would alter the flow of time. They also spend much of their youth and their lives in cryo sleep. No non-Dreadnought is older than Dante to begin with, that is a hard fact of the setting, just like there are no female aspirants who become full fledged marines, so I'm not going to let some shitty BL novel try to imply being 10,000 years old is normal.

>>54279772
Is the biggest ship an Emperor-class?

I was thinking the general population would live on three fuck huge ships, like big enough to house gardens/farms for sustainability, & from what I could find Emperor-class was the biggest.

The SM'SO would run a vanguard of maybe five barges. One for each fuckhuge civilian vessel & two for all the slightly smaller ones. One of the battle-barges is bigger than the others to be the entire fleet's flagship & where the SMs Chapter would be based

>>54279844

Although the cry sleep part doesn't mean they suddenly don't "age". Just because you slept for 1 year won't have toustaying 30 years old instead of 31. Biologically sure, your bodystays almost the same. But chronologically? You still gained a year to add to your name. Anyhoo.

They /40kg/,

What pt-size matches do you think would lead to 1 or 1.5 hr long matches in 8th Edition?

I am looking to set up a tournament in my local area in the near future, and I would like to get some feedback from you guys regarding the size of matches. I am looking for each match to last 1-1.5hrs, perhaps 2 hours at absolute maximum.

Given this restriction, I think anything above 1.5k isn't realistic. Even 1.5k is probably pushing it in terms of size, and I was thinking either 1k flat, or 1.25k.

This observation though is based on my relatively limited experience in 8th ed, so I'd like to hear your feedback as to what you guys think would be appropriate for a 1hr - 1.5hr long games.

>>54279880
Yes? This is not exactly rocket science, even things like satellites will have inaccurate time due to gravity. I guess you just don't have a huge interest in astronomy or black holes or stuff? If you've watched the movie Interstellar or looked up gravitational time dilation you learn about the phenomenon.

>>54279880

>>54279902

Since you are saying 1500 in under 1.5 hours isn't realistic, this tells me the average speed of play you're used to in your area would probably require 1000-1250 points to get under 1-1.5 hours.

And no bullshit "playing on his phone and having you tell him five times it's his turn before he responds" nonsense either.

There's something called a Galleass of War in some of the Heresy material. It's basically a slightly larger battleship, but with less guns and more auxiliary space for, like you said, farms, stores, troop bays and whatever the fuck else you want to put in there. It's mostly used by the Mechanicum Ordo Reductor, who are nomadic Admech troubleshooters with even more superweapons and esoteric bullshit than Forge Worlds because their job is to solve Outside Context Problems for the Imperium. They can compensate for having less guns by making them more scary, but wouldn't the GoW suit your chapter too? They're Space Marines, so I'd imagine they'd win battles by boarding mostly anyway, and that way you can have a fleet of three or four floating arcologies to hold all your dudes.

I agree with you here, but I have to think of the worst case scenario for tournaments. I fully suspect that there will be some faster players and some slower players, as well as people with large model counts or smaller model counts. I'm currently planning for a little bit of rest time in between matches, so maybe matches can stretch out to up to 2 hrs max. But I'd much prefer for matches to actually play to completion instead of cutting matches short.

>>54279976
Ordo Reductor, so about as far from that as you can get. Disregard war crimes, acquire Exterminatus. Still, a fleet of eight or so of their ships tended to be the Imperial option when the Marine Legions failed completely at doing a thing, probably because the lack of outrageous plot armour meant to the Mechanicum was actually smart about war. Seriously, about half the grand battles of the Heresy could have been solved by lobbing cyclonic torpedoes at the planet.

>>54279914
Guilliman isn't a marine so he's not in the running.

Chaos daemon question:

When you summon in a chaos daemon, can it move that same movement phase?

>>54280027

I still don't know why the Mechanicus doesn't design their laborers and Skitarii to fold up in compact little packs to be stored on racks, like the Star Wars drone army was.

>>54279963

>>54280022
I was surprised he gave tracking info considering iirc FW doesn't even do that most of the time. Sadly the Thanatar I ordered seems to be missing a single arm piece and some bits were broken off.

Worst Primarch. Vulkan and Corax too for going along with it.

>>54280036
No. The summoning happens at the end of the movement phase, meaning you cannot perform any further moves for that movement phase after summoning.

>>54280023

Cast on the lower claw arm looks great but there's a lot of parts that I would not be satisfied with on that cast, especially the storm cannon mold slip. The parts at the top of the carapace and left leg are probably just you not prepping the gate removal areas properly so it's whatever, but people always claiming recasts are great when they're not gets tiring.

>>54280054
If he does give me replacements, awesome, if not its not a huge loss. I'm thinking of ordering a Kytan from him or Alpharius (heard good things if he has it in the catalog). I won't order GW stuff from a recaster, can afford it just fine but FW stuff is expensive af. Bought a Dread Saurian from FW, neat packaging, was like 250$ bucks for it though.

>>54280054
FW probably don't give tracking because you're either local and it's going to arrive in like one day anyways, or you're in another country, in which case you can't track internationally (cheaply and built in) unless you're from originating country.

Skitarii aren't quite that augmented yet, and the menials aren't worth the effort, but I can totally see them doing that with Servitors or Servoskulls or something. The Heresy Dominus has a bunch of scouting skulls roosting under his hat.
Pretty good ones too, they give Interceptor to allies within 3", cut enemy cover within 12", have Jetpacks, Stealth, T3 3+ and spot for artillery. Also have a BS2 TL Laspistol, which means they shoot better than Guardsmen. Can't do anything Objectives related, but don't give VPs so you can use them to block corridors and force the enemy to waste bullets on them.

Getting FW stuff for 30-50% of the cost is just too appealing. Sure you get some iffy quality at times but generally it's either minor or something that can be fixed with a bit of work.

That's not even taking into account the oop stuff recasters still sell.

Nothing would have happened, because planet-bound Void Shields powered by geothermal energy can pretty much withstand more firepower than any fleet of spaceships can throw at it.
For example, during Battle of Fenris, the Thousand Sons have huge, promethium filled space ships that are just the ammunition carriers for some sorcerours weapon array that fired down onto the Fang non-stop for days or even weeks. The void shields were perfectly capable of withstanding that.

So in conclusion, if you ever wonder again "why didn't they just nuke it from orbit", the answer is most likely voidshields.

>>54280106
Do the Voids cover literally the entire planet? It's Exterminatus, you only need to hit it somewhere to win and planets are pretty damn big.

Recasts are ok, not great. With some paint or worst case scenario some liquid green stuff they are generally indistinguishable from legit models (especially at tabletop distance).

If you want a model that is 100% complete, in perfect shape, that ships quickly and is guaranteed to get you what you ordered there is a caster that can do that for you, it's called Games Workshop.

If you're not willing to pay GW/FW prices than you just have to deal with issues that are common with recasts.

>>54280101
Yeah pretty much. Some of the bigger GW things I would maybe consider like a Lord of Skulls but if it's anything I can buy locally like Archaon or Grey Knights stuff I'll buy at my LGS.

those defects were honestly quite easy to fix with some greenstuff, I just assembled the model right after some basic prep work to start getting an idea of how it was going to fit together

also compared to the horrendous quality of a contemptor I received directly from forgeworld i have to say the casting quality was a significant improvement

>>54280106
>because planet-bound Void Shields powered by geothermal energy
It's mentioned in Massacre that the orbital bombardment shattered the Void Shield in multiple locations and their coverage was patchy, leaving plenty of areas exposed. They could have hit those areas with the torpedoes.

With no air, no atmosphere, and no geothermal energy to power their Void Shields. The sheer force of the planet exploding would vaporize their fortress and kill everyone but even if they magically survived they'd still die in very short order.

Just don't be a WAACfag (Win At Any Cost), those guys who min/max or try to cheat or "creatively" interpret rules or do dumb shit like that.

Also, fucking bathe.

As long as you do those two things and you get into a cool meta you'll be fine. A lot of people are either getting into 40K or getting back into 40K (after not playing since 4th/5th/6th/whatever) with the release of 8th Edition, so odds are you won't be the only FNG in the area. This is good because it means you can learn with other players.

Lastly, read the rulebook, read your index/codex. You aren't expected to have the rules and every statline memorized, but you'll learn faster if you actually try.

Also don't play Tau, they're for fags

Good luck have fun!

>>54280368

25mm bases means that your opponent can have fewer models in base contact with your models, and you can have more of your models in base contact with theirs.

Also it makes disembarking a full 10 man tac squad out of a Rhino easier (you don't have to use all three access points and waste a turn getting everyone back into coherency).

Anon, why are you on /40kg/ before 9 in the morning?

Thanks guys! Question regarding custom models (asking in WIP as well)

How do you police height of the model. I make sure to put them on the correct size base.I get that model height and size matters due to true line of sight, and I don't want to look like I'm trying to pull anything by using models I sculpted. (2 Chaos spawn for 40$? Come on)

Is it just "get the go-ahead from your opponent before game starts and call it fair"? I don't really understand.

>>54280412
DEUS VULT obviously

Also known as loading everything in land raiders, driving everything fowards, disembark once close enough, then charge everything into the enemy.
There might also be some target priority involved, but that depends very much on what you play against.
Then there is also some finesse to properly playing a melee army in 8th (like charging from behind your land raiders, so the enemy can't see you and thus can't fire overwatch, and using two units to surround the unit you charge so that it can't fall back out of combat)

>>54280412
>4 Land Raiders

>>54280434
If you're new I doubt anyone is gonna give you any bullshit especially if its just casual games , as long as the base size is the same as what it comes with or larger its fine, and for size just try to keep no shorter than it would normally be. Bigger is fine though.

Where did it all go wrong ...

>>54280475
Basically. Making it smaller is pretty much only an advantage, naming it bigger makes you a bigger target but for your opponent but also let's you draw more LoS and minor things like that.

You just want to avoid the classic "modeling for advantage" shit that some people pull.

As long as it's roughly the same size or larger you're fine. As long as you're not obviously trying to game the system your opponents shouldn't care (unless they are sperglords).

We had a new guy in our meta who played Orks who was really worried that we wouldn't let him use his converted Rhinos as Trukks and he was so relieved when I told him no one was going to have any problems whatsoever with that.

dumb question i know, but with 8th ed, assigning wounds:

if I deal six wounds to my opponent, who has a squad of some space wolf units in which half the squad has stormshields for an invuln save, with each model having 3 wounds, can he put all the wounds to save on the shielded units? or just 3 wounds per model?

8 wounds:
8 wounds saving against stormshield, or

8 wounds:
3 wounds on stormshield model
3 wounds on stormshield model
2 wounds on non-stormshield fagwolf buttboy

I have to call bullshit on that unless you show me the listing on ebay (I'm assuming thats where you got that kind of deal from)

If its true thats amazing

Regardless mass land raiders, while not something thats going to win you tournaments, is something you can actually do this edition and should make for a pretty fun list. I think within 2000 points you should be able to field 3 land raider crusaders, all loaded up with initiates and a commander each and just roll them across the table as a big black wall of death

>>54280488

He should roll six of the storm shield saves first, and then roll the other two if storm-shield protected wounds still remain

>>54279763

>>54280571
lrn2read my friend

>>54280572
could he legally, albiet slowly, roll them one at a time, and all on the stormshields, as long as one with a shield remains alive?

>>54280530
Effectivly each save would be assigned and rolled individually, until models die.
So rolling 6 of them on the Invul saves, and the remainder if they have enough wiunds left.

Each wound gets resolved on their own, it just speeds it up if you can batch a few together.

>>54280563

I think I will have to get just a few more Marines to have a full 10+10+10 in each Crusader.

You can manually put your wounds wherever you want in 8E.

>>54280594
Yes
The point is to just never roll more storm-shield saves at a time than there are storm-shield-protected wounds remaining
AT LEAST this is how it was before 8th, when the 'wound pool' was intricately described in the rules

>>54280594
Yes, that is how it is technically done.
