Anyone want to see more psychic powers?

>>54311038
They're coming in the Codexes, patience.

>>54311038
They were cancer but yes I do.

>>54311038
8th has psykers?!

>>54311038
At first I was salty that Thousand Sons didn't get their own psychic tree but Death Guard did. Then I saw how objectively terrible the Tzeentch daemon powers are and I'm now very happy they get to use the good/mediocre Heretic Astartes tree instead.

>>54311038
I'd like to see psychic powers that cast on lower than a 7. Given that how weak most powers are compared to easily accessible auras for most armies I feel that they should get a massive power boost for being unreliable as fuck on top of being unique per army. Like, if aura's had to be cast on 2d6 against 7 and could be denied and were unique per army and couldn't be reattempted by a different dude it'd make sense. But no, entire armies get 4++ and Guide auras for pennies while casters have to beg for spells that are half as good and don't work half the time.

With the Dark Eldar Court of the Archon am I able to take multipes of one type? 4 ssylths or 4 medusae, that kind of thing

>>54311010
much better than the mediocre simpsons one

>>54311117
No, but it has very expensive smite dispensers.

>full codexes are coming out

then what the heck is the point of the indexes

t. new guy thinking about getting into 40k but I don't understand this. there's an index and a codex? why? which one actually has the rules for the army you want to play?

>>54311136
yes, but only a combined total of 4 models before they start taking up slots.

>>54311124
>2001 points
how long does it take you to make these +1 point over lists?

>>54311038
Yes and no. I hope GW can add codex specific rules without breaking the game again.

>>54311117
psykers in 8th don't do broken shit like invisibility, but they are still very good. I wouldn't leave home without some unless you enjoying your elites being obliterated by smites.

>>54311121
Speaking from eldar, conceal is on 6.
And the runes of fate ones are cast by Farseers who can reroll any number of dice one of their powers, so getting 7s is pretty damn reliable.

and Guide lets you hit a unit 24" away, which is alot easier to do than keeping units within 6".
Getting more than 2 units within 6" isn't that easy if you are actually moving your models and play a lot of terrain.

>>54311151

They do what GW told everyone they would do.
Be a stopgap so that everyone can play day 1

>>54311161
>I hope GW can add codex specific rules without breaking the game again.
ehehehe

>>54311151
the indexes are a stop-gap so everyone can play right away

the codexes will have more detailed rules and stuff like relics

>>54311151
8th ed completely redid the rules so the old codices were completely incompatible, so the indices were intended as a hold over.

>>54311124
yeah. an actual computer to type your list on.

>>54311151
Indexes are the temporary stripped down rules to catch every army up to 8th edition from launch day because 8th changed so much it is not backwards compatible with older codexes.

Codexes are the real rules and will be replacing the rules in the indexes one army at a time over the next couple years.

You use the index until your army's codex comes out, then you use the newer updated rules in the Codex, which will also change points costs as they continue to balance things.

>>54311151
The indexes are there because 7th edition rules are 100% incompatible with 8th edition. Without them nobody would have been able to play the new edition, because right now nothing has a codex yet. Indexes serve the purpose of stop-gap solution untill every army has its own codex once again, which will take at least a year, probably more.

Are Wulfen really that bad now?

>>54311151
indexes have basic rules for each army, so that everybody is able to play immediately with the launch of 8th edition. Codexes have more in depth shit for your army, so once the codex for your army comes out, you won't need the index anymore. But, while the first codex is coming soon, they aren't all coming out at the same time. GW needs to finish them up, it will be at least a year, maybe more until they are all out.

>>54311156
Perfect, thanks anon

>>54311207
They're not bad, they're just not broken anymore.

>>54311223
>Here comes the shitstorm again ...

>>54311137
Not saying there aren't powers that are easy to cast, I'm just arguing that the downside of psychic powers doesn't justify most of their costs and unreliability this edition.

Back in 5th you rolled against Ld. That made powers reliable when most casters had 9/10. This edition about 2/3rds of the spells in the game fail 43%+ of the time and the effects of most spells don't account for that. Like take the classic guide. 7+ so works 57% of the time. Okay you get rerolls to hit half the time on one unit of your choice. Or you get a chapter master who gives 1+ units rerolls to hit 100% of the time or better you'd assume the CM costs like 300 points based on the cost of a farseer but instead they're dirt cheap and good at more than just buffing shit to boot.

>>54311223
Yes, they play nids and they only come in with their husband.

>>54311207
They still hit like a wrecking ball, have 3++ and can use drop pods, they become very pricey like everything else but they'll still melt everything they touch.

>>54311038

I missed the first ones, post them all

>>54311234
A lot of powers do things that cannot be done any other way. They offer unique buff and debuff tools and are all very useful, and you choose which ones you take at the start of the battle so you'll never be stuck with a dud power, they can be tailored to your opponents list.

The 8e psychic phase is probably my favorite one so far.

>>54311228
Because most them were tau players and since they are no longer godly powerful they are looking for the next broken that will allow to autowin without thinking too much

>>54311223
I'm the male only player and constantly get bullied because I play orks and they play wraith bikes eldars.

>>54311169
But that's the thing. You don't need 2+ units in range. just having 1 in range makes the effect better because it's automatic. Getting the benefit to 2+ units is just icing on the cake.
Your seer is going to be on escort duty for the squad he's buffing anyways so keeping in range with an aura is easy.

Runes of fate is a special ability unique to farseers and still doesn't guarantee powers go off. It also doesn't do squat for a Herald of Nurgle or any other casters.

>>54311234
you keep talking about guide and farseers.
Farseers reroll one die per psykic phase. You get off your powers reliably.

They are totally worth their points.
Conceal is amazing even at 6+, and I've had pretty good success using enhance drain even with it at 7+. Warlocks cost 30 pts.

>>54311223
Yep. Chaos player. She's damn good.

Is an all deathwing army viable?

As in nothing but terminators, knights, belial, a librarian and maybe a champion/ancient/apothecary

>>54311302
Also they are all 300lbs

>>54311306
listen to all the people who are actually playing the game with psykers.
Psykers are plenty strong this edition. The majority of support psykers see use, and are considered very powerful.

>>54311223
I saw one girl who played at the store prior to me bringing my two girlfriends into the hobby

So I guess that brings us up to 3 now

>>54311223
A large woman, mother of four, is one of the people who run the club

She plays nids/genestealer cult and high elves

>>54311306
If all you want is the hit buff, take an autarch.

>>54311314
Practically everything is viable now that everything can wound everything.

>>54311355
That's not even remotely true.

Wound rolls are a tiny slice of what makes things viable in this game.

>>54311373
Killed a dreadnought with Lasguns. Just saying.

Rawbutt Chiliman

>>54311223
Yep. A couple actually. Also, fuck that board and it's die-cocking gutters!

>>54311378
Which has nothing to do with what I was just talking about.

Hello friends, rules question

In the core rulebook on the movement part it says when reinforcements come into the battlefield *however they come in" counts as their movement and they can not move or advance. However the Swarmlord's Hive Commander ability allows a unit to move as if it were the movement phase.

Can the Swarmlord come out of reserve (or any tyranid unit) and use hive commander to get an easier charge? I know Warptime can, and it's worded the same as Hive Commander.

>>54311046
What army were you playing? Because in a typical 2k GK list + Knight, I'm averaging no more than 20 models. They seem great, but so did Dreadknights in 7th, but mine rarely ever lived past turn 3 and quite literally NEVER made their points back in all but 1 of the games I played in 7th.

>>54311378
Being able to do a wound or two doesn't mean lasguns are viable anti-tank weapons. There's a lot more viable now that there was, but it's not because "everything can wound everything".

>>54311390
But everything to do with what I was saying.

>>54311408
Yes. This is a combo people have been doing and talking about from day 1.

It's a little overrated though.

What sort of stereotypes/traits have you seen per faction? In real life of course, not forum shit.

Space Marines genuinely seem normy-est and functional adults, but draws some spastic meme shitters. Yiffs can be annoying in particular.
SoBs touch their models at night I'm pretty sure
Orks are cool, until they also get carried away with memes-especially when they try to hold conversations in "orkish"

>>54311437
Black Templars hate GW with a zealot's passion for not giving them a codex

>>54311432
It's not proof of anything. Viability is much more broad a discussion than "can this unit wound everything on the game on 6's"

>>54311435
Yeah my friends argue whether its legal I don't really care (I actually agree with the Tyranid player, the Tau player objects though) I just get tired of genestealers being so damn points effective.

>>54311117
hello warlocks for 37 points?

>>54311437
I own the Ryan Diaz daemonettes and I do touch my models at night.

>>54311408

yes, it can even use it on itself.

although the swarmlord does not have an innate reserve ability, so i assume you're talking about a narrative scenario with reserves

>>54311442
Well duh. But the question was, "is this viable?" to which the answer is yes, technically everything is viable. Stop being autistic and spudding out over specifics.

>>54311426
That's my problem too, I ran a melee knight and a dakka knight in my most recent game vs nidzilla. Melee knight krumped two carnifexes then just barely failed to kill the swarmlord in melee before dieing.

The Dakka knight killed 2 Mawlocs and got one shot by Old One Eye on the charge (left with 1 wound.) I feel like shelving my Imperial Knights due to this.

Had another game where turn 1 shooting I took a knight to 10 wounds with just 2 twin lascannons.

>>54311437
Chaos players are the most insufferable overall IRL.

The Tau guys I've met haven't been as bad as the internet makes them out to be but I'm sure the shitters exist somewhere.

Ork and IG players really do seem to be the most bro.

Tyranids really do attract the most females.

Regardless of stereotypes every army has its assholes and its chill guys (or girls).

If the Lieutenants and Captains give re-rolls, does it apply to themselves?

>>54311445

nothing stops a unit from moving more than once on a turn. they just need the correct abilities (like this one) that actually allow it to do so

>>54311469
Everything being able to wound everything does not make everything technically viable.

>>54311460
Came out of the tyranid drop pod. The thing that looks like a testicle.

>>54311485
All auras apply to the model the projects them as long as they fit the criteria of the buff.

>>54311010
So, after looking around a bit, is it just me, or does a Cannoness do a better job of being a Inquisitor, than the actual fucking inquisitor?

Cannonesses have better WS and BS, along with Power Armor, and a Invuln save of +4, along with being cheaper at 45 pnts base compared to a Inquisitor, who is 55 pnts, has worse BS, WS and Saves?

The Inq. Has a larger variety of weaponry, that is true. He can also Deny the Witch more effectively, and has access to Psychic powers. However, the Cannoness has Acts of Faith, which allow her to out perform the Inq. in move speed, damage output, and survival.

This isn't mentioning the fact that Cannonesses also out perform Space Marine Captains as well, but what ever.

Literally, factually untrue. Do you even know what the word viable actually means? It sounds like you don't.

Ah, i see. I dont play nids, but i have the book here beside me. Yes that works and is legal to do- just get the ranges right and it works just fine.

Tyranids are all about moving fast unexpectedly- why would someone bitch about their flavor?

>>54311545
Viable: capable of working successfully; feasible.

Guess what. >>54311378
Sounds fucking feasible to me. Sounds like it worked fucking successfully to me. Sounds like it's fucking capable of working again.

>>54311426
I was playing a chaos daemons list. Chaos daemons are admittedly lacking in good AT choices this edition without splashing into CSM.

You're probably right about knights not having a lot of synergy with GK due to low model count but I know for a fact that they'll work well with whatever you end up buying to support them.

In general since a lot of people are talking up horde armies Knights might be better placed in the meta. More Hordes means more people taking a flamer over more melta. Less melta/AT means more opportunities for superheavies to shine.

People can only tune for one extreme at a time. If they try to do both they'll usually struggle against focused lists.

>>54311543

Yeah, you tend to have the mixed bags. Each factions has its own unique rotters.
Guard for example, muh HFY-ers and the people weirdly attached to Nazism and similar ideologies and aren't even subtle

>>54311547

>>54311564
Who said anything about it working successfully? I just said that it CAN work. Not that it will.

>>54311561
Killing a dreadnought doesn't make a list competitively viable. You're a fucking moron.

>>54311563
i think it's supposed to be an anger pooch from that robot video game.

>>54311580
Capable of working successfully is literally the definition of the word viable.

>>54311583
Again >>54311580

>>54311508
I can see his frustration, getting the swarmlord a turn 1 charge is frustrating as Tau with their poopy melee. The Tau guy is pretty cool, he just mis interpreted the rules.

>>54311555
Less that more of a rules misinterpretation.

>>54311504
Also, I'm not even gonna touch upon how nerfed Jokaero got, now that they can only affect Ordos units, rather than any unit they are with. Meanwhile, Daemon hosts can fly 12", and than barf out Mortal wounds.

Has anyone here ever just started losing it for the hobby? After 12 years the joy just isn't here anymore and it feels more like an obligation than a hobby

>>54311223
I'd say there are about 6 girls. Most are girlfriends/wives of other players and they paint and occasionally play. At another store nearby there's a girl who comes to paint a lot and they have a girl employee who is really cool and plays well.

We do have one girl who comes in frequently though. She plays unconventional Imperium 2 lists. Every time I play her I feel like I'm learning about some new unit, but she is generally pretty decent and fun to play against. She loses about as much as she wins, but her losses always seem extremely close. Every time I come in I feel like there's a crowd around her games as she makes dramatic rolls near the end of the game. Last time I was there she was grabbing near by people to roll for her because her dice rolls were hot garbage. The best was when she got a little boy to roll for her. He had no idea what was happening, but when she threw her arms up in joy after good rolls, he did too.

There was another Dark Eldar girl that was smoking, but she moved away sadly. I still miss her. She was crazy, but funny, smelled amazing and had perfect boobs that always seemed to be trying so hard to get out of her shirts. She wasn't a strong player, but if you brought some more goofy or fun lists, the games ended up being pretty even. She did really cute and dorky dances every time something went in her favor. It sounds kind of cringy, but it's much less so when you realize her boobs were going all over.

>getting the swarmlord a turn 1 charge is frustrating as Tau with their poopy melee
Just screen your important units and Fall Back and shoot next turn.

T'au have so much flying shit they're one of the last who should be bitching about getting charged from Deep Strike.

It's nice to be able to multi-task, but being able to point at something and say "you're gonna die" is better. IMO.

Some people can make goofy stuff like that charming, even without boobs being involved. I'm sure they didn't hurt though.

They're still in progress but one of my options is to use Black Templar rules. Could you use an Emperor's champion as your Chapter Master in that example then? Or am I restricted to Captains?

He has his own datasheet but you could fluff it that way, sure.

>Could you use an Emperor's champion as your Chapter Master in that example then?
Yep. Just make sure he's easily identifiable as your captain, because you could confuse people if you have the same miniature acting as your actual champion.

I went to downtown Manhattan GW and played my first game of 8th edition today. I had brought my 1850 list, but the guy there interested in a pick up game was in from out of town and only had 1000 points ("of Nurgle", so I hastily battlescribed up a quick list centered around the models I was most interested in playing: my LRC, a pred, and some Death Company. All told maybe 25 models. My heart sinks when I see the sheer volume of models he puts down.
He's not playing Nurgle CSM. He's playing Nurgle Renegades with a handful of Daemons. His heavy weapons teams alone probably outnumber me in terms of models, plus several MSU nurglings and Guard style artillery/vehicles. I'm half amazed all this fits in 1000 points.

Nurgle puts an objective midboard, in cover dead center. He also has one up the side. I place one near a building and one nearish the board edge, in the corner.

Blood angels deployed Pred and LRC
LRC contains death company and Tactical marines
Lemartes and assault marines in reserve

Nurgle deployed... A lot
Wyvern
earthshaker battery
basilisk
Griffon
Nurglings
Herald
Malefic lord


Fully expecting to go first, I deployed aggressively. The Pred was parked behind a obscured to the half of the map the LRC was on, but was in position to fire on and be fired on by Nurgle's griffon, wyvern, and basilisk, as well as the Autocannon teams (in a building near than objective in the corner. The LRC was facing off against the Lascannon teams, some nurglings, and the earthshaker battery.

My two vehicles vs a boatload of models.
Nurglings have infiltrated to occupy the center objective in cover. I hold no objectives to start. I chose the edge without them intent on pushing him off his. I'm playing Blood Angels, after all.

Nurgle steals initiative. Crap.


Nurgle fires LCs at LRC and Autocannons at pred.

Lrc takes no dam. At all. It makes its only 5+.
Pred takes a couple wounds.

Cont...

>>54311691
No, the Masters of the Chapter sets are the individual Company Captains.

>>54311759
I'm talking about models like Marneus and Asterion.

>>54311756
>1850 list
No one really runs that anymore in 8th edition. 2000 is the standard now. Just helpful advice for future listbuilding.

I'm impressed and relieved. If he had managed to really mess up my vehicles early, this would have been a short, short game.

LRC moves forward
BA fire at nurgle
LRC splits fire between Nurglings (RF range) and two Lascannon teams.

The twin assault cannon kills a Lascannon team. It also wounds a nurgling and takes a few ablative wounds off one team. First blood, woohoo!

Pred trades wounds with Nurgle artillery. It MESSES the Griffon up, knocking it down to the 3rd profile.

Nurgle continues shooting. It puts a few wounds on the LRC and a few more on the pred. The malefic lord puts a few mortal wounds on the LRC.

The nurglings charge the Crusader. They do no damage (and even take a few wounds between overwatch and my attacks) but I'm less than happy about it being tied up.

BA2
Disembark the Tactical squad, disengage land raider. Tacs shoot Lascannon squad #2. Dead. They charge the nurglings and fight them to a standstill.

Predator continues trading shots with enemy artillery. It kills the griffon with a single Lascannon shot AND the wrecks the Wyvern. I'm especially happy about the Wyvern because that was the biggest threat to my infantry that are coming on the board.

Nurgle continues to fire on the land raider, which WILL NOT DIE.

At the end of Nurgle turn 3, the Pred has 4 wounds and the LRC has ONE. SINGLE. WOUND.

BA turn 3
The DC disembark.

I have thinned out his deployment zone sufficiently well that room has opened up for the assault marines.
I ask my opponent to hand me the tape measure as I pick up a few models from the side of the table. I measure out nine inches and he realizes what this means. I also put Lemartes in with my DC.
Two melta shots later his earthshaker battery is kaput.
Guns are fired. Nurglings die. Ablative wounds are lost. The Crusader charges the nurglings that it had previously been fighting. Yes. Frag launchers. Yes.

Mortal wounds. Yes. The multicharging DC wipe out the remaining nurglings and malefic lord.

So I could use an Emperor's Champion model as my Space Marine captain while fielding a proper Emperor's Goodboy? Interesting. For my other option, what would Chaos Space Marines use as their generic captain? Fluff wise, they're kind of teetering on the edge of chaos but until I work more of it out I'd like to know my options.

You can rework Primaris Marines into Chaos Marines, right? Really one of the huge reasons I'm playing now is the Primaris models looking great, but I'm hoping their sprues go back to the more customizable looking ones of old

It's getting late and my opponent has no way of hurting most of my units for another turn or two. His nurglings miiiight be able to achieve Linebreaker, but it would be a hell of a hustle and probably means moving off his center objective and hustling someone else in to replace them, and he himself says that he's NOT going to kill Lemartes for Slay the Warlord. He offers to call the game. We each hold two objectives, but I have First Blood and Linebreaker. Blood Angels victory!

We trade email addresses and he promises to send me a message next time he's in NYC.

Thoughts:
The LRC was a tough nut to crack. It absorbed a full turn of shooting without losing a single wound and didn't even leave the first profile until Nurgle turn 3. It ended turn 3 with a single wound left, yes, but that means it would still be on the table for turn four, and had already soaked up most of the fire it was going to take. It killed or wounded quite a few models, including a squad or two on its own, even thinning out the enemy deployment area enough for my assault squad to jump in. It won first blood and was instrumental in allowing my infantry to get where I wanted them. It rendered the Wyvern almost completely irrelevant, and by the time I deployed my infantry the Pred had killed it.

The Predator was an anti-armor monster. It certainly did its job of neutralizing enemy vehicles, killing several of them singlehandedly.

The tacs... Did pretty well. They finished off a Lascannon squad and then tied up a squad of nurglings and the malefic lord so the DC could clean up the next turn.

The assault squad did great. The meltas KO'ed the target (even from beyond half range) while their (1/12 chance of even making it) Hail Mary charge succeeded in not only tying up the Lascannon squad, but killing them outright.
The game was called before the DC could really make a huge mark, but they slaughtered whatever they touched.

New to the hobby should I buy SC Drukhari and Gangs of Commorragh or troll ebay for used stuff?

>>54311850
Ebay is your friend.

>>54311437
Everyone at our store is pretty cool regardless of what army they play. This is generally how I feel about the players at my store.

- Space Marine players definitely seem to be the most well adjusted socially and have pretty normal lives. They also happen to usually have the least interesting armies.
- Chaos players are bros, but most of them are basically casual stoners and metalheads.
- Ork players are mostly cool, but sometimes they were embarrassing with how hard they pushed the "I don't mind losing as long as I have fun" mentality. Now that most are shit stomping in the store during 8th edition, their backbone is growing back.
- Guard players at my store are pretty chill, but they are all manlet war fanatics who paint poorly and are probably the most awkward group. The exception is a tranny who is both hilarious and a lot of fun to play against.
- Tau players are really chill and funny, which is surprising. I figured they would be fags based on what I heard here, so I'm thinking we just got lucky with awesome Tau players.
- The only notable Eldar player is a young teenager who is great. A happy hobbyist who's trying his best and always has fully painted armies while playing.
- Necron players are all pretty cool, but there's nothing notable about them.

there are a number of reason why catherdal panels were done by master painters, not just in terms of technique but in composition.

I get the idea he's going for, recalling those cathedral panels, but he needed to spend longer on finding a balanced composition.
The upper half is much better than the lower, portraits were not a good choice for those, especially the close ups.

Can anyone tell me the interesting highlights that have happened since the Ultima Founding? Not the big stuff like the Unumbered Sons, but the kinda small but interesting stuff.

>>54312059
Your right, but that particular piece tickles me, because it has panels for each of the major armed forces of the Imperium:
>Imperial Guard

>>54312080
Monolith is expensive. It is also big so its easy to hit from just about anywhere on the table. I dont have the problem, but a lot of people say its toughness isnt enough to save it from things, but I can see where they are coming from. I dont play against my LGS Eldar player anymore since he started playing Ynnari Dark Reaper spam and just blowing up everying turn 1 from across the board during psychic phase. Its weapons are also really powerful, but most people just want to tell you to take more Warriors or some Wraiths, which are equally good choices, but nothing beats the Aesthetic of Pyramid death machine. It also has a section on the bottom that could be easily magnetized for a flying base, I am thinking of attaching a few little struts under it with the bike flying base rods to make it float about an inch or so off the ground but I need to find some first.

>>54312026
Yeah, but who cares. We've got the coolest lore, most flavor for backgrounds, and the best models of any faction hands down. If IA14 and the codexes go right, we can make like Columbine and show everyone what the quiet kid's arsenal can do

I can imagine that the husks of broken Titans probably adorn the great avenues of Terra like suits of armor. Titans that fell during notable campaigns and can never be repaired cannibalized for parts and their broken, armored shells standing eternal vigil as monuments to the Imperium's might.

Or, at least similarly large statues of Titans. Titans themselves are probably far too valuable, even just their armored shells, to leave any parts behind. Still, no expense for Terra, but even then every asset has to be given over to the Imperium's constant state of war.

>>54312142
I remember in the Thousand Sons book the Captains were discussing a Titan they had sitting over the entry to their temple, it has been a long time though, it may have just been the head, or a section of it.

I've been out of the hobby for 2 editions or so- did they change the base sizes?

is 32mm the standard base size now? Do i have to rip off all of my 25mm bases? I can't imagine this is tourney enforced

>>54312186
You're allowed to use the bases your models came with. So if they have 25mm, you don't have to rip the models off. Unless you want to ofcourse.
I don't, the cost of the bases for all my marines would be high enough to buy an entire new army with

>>54312165

Horus Heresy might have been a different time. Still, it's possible that there's a Hall of Titans on Terra, which would just be a collection of "dead" Titan husks that stand like trophy suits of armor.

Considering that Terra is part bureaucratic hell and part religious Disneyland, it's possible that one of the attractions is a Titan hall where the faithful can come to see the God-Machines of the Emperor's fury, be they the faithful of the Ecclesiarchy or the AdMech who wish to see the avatar's of their God's might, however they might interpret Him.

How is a pure harlequin force these days? I'd probably run plenty of starweavers if I went that route, unless there's any particular reason not to

>>54312219

Let's grimdark it up.

At the base of each Titan stands a ministrator who sings hymns and stories about the long and illustrious service this Titan served before it was finally, tragically felled in battle. Generations of these preachers have gone by, each one taking up an apprentice to take their place and sing the hymns of the God-Machine whose stories they tell to the masses of pilgrims.

But after so many thousands of years, these stories have become distorted, or even lost. Some accomplishments have been played up to attract more crowds than their competitors, and earn more status in the Hall. And some stories, though few would say as much out loud, are possibly complete fabrications.

>>54312312
>>54312329
>>54312329
>>54312337

However, a successful meta is to field a chapter with as many special named characters as possible. Ultramarines and Black Templars become prime candidates for this purpose, as you can just toss a bunch of facefucker characters into a loosely knit death star.

Would a Necron Dynasty whose Necrodermis/Reanimation Protocols no longer work, and the robots come back malfunctioning or don't properly self-repair right, leading to physical and mental quirks, keeping with the fluff?

>>54312341
Man, I love the models and fluff, and I always like the tiny hyper elite armies, but I know for a fact I could not paint them to a satisfactory degree. It's a tough call.

raven guard get shrike, who is one of the best chapter masters right now. he has a jump pack, good combat ability, the reroll aura, rerolling charges for vanguard vets (assault marines are utter trash for everyone but blood angels, and no one takes vvets without jump packs), and is quite cheap at only 150 points

raptors have lias issodon, who effectively gives three footslogging units the ability to deep strike, which opens up a lot of options that drop pods going up massively in price have closed. his extra 1 inch to charge ranges is nearly as good as rerolling charge distances if youre trying to make a charge after deep striking, but it also stacks with rerolls from veil of time or strategems to give you better odds than any other loyalist has. just keep in mind lias doesnt have an invul save

>>54312059

I get what you're saying but you're overblowing it. Still, he would have done better to make the non-marble sections more picturesque, like painting them as stained glass figures in symmetrical, upright poses like the Space Marine statue.

>>54312426
While I have some money to burn I'd rather spend it on overpriced models than paint jobs. Besides, if I ever expanded the force it'd bother me too much to have the mismatched paint jobs. Maybe I'll see if there are any simple color schemes that look good on them.

>>54312406
The issue is that having Necrodermis/RP no longer work would essentially represent the loss of the Living Metal and RP rules, which are two of the most defining aspects of Necrons mechanically. Be very careful about removing or severely impairing those.

Fluff-wise, if these basic survival functions did not work, it would be very difficult for the Dynasty to stick around at all. Also, basic soldiers don't have the lowest level of personality or autonomy needed to even manifest "mental quirks".

You only give up your slugga for the SAG, and your give up your choppa for a Killsaw, so you CAN take both. But I wouldn't suggest it, because your SAG should find one good vantage point and just keep firing. He's already 100 pts, so you don't want to get him into melee if you can help it.

So if the Imperium of Man has technologically stagnated somewhat because it instead relies on re-found tech rather then flat out inventing extra new shit and thus feed Tzeench in doing so, shouldn't Chaos be way more technically advanced then the Imperium due to the Dark Mechanicus not having that issue?

I know nothing of AoS but the warp follows no rules unless you are powerful enough to enforce them. Even then the gods could fuck with you if they wanted.

No, in AoS everything always works because magic.
In 40k, inside the warp and warp storms all laws of nature have no more meaning, making it impossible to do anything reliably. The traitor legions could barely make their way out of the Eye of Terror, and you'd think that would just be a case of aiming where you want to go and flying over there.

We have our Escalation league going up to 1k points next week so I'm excited about that. I also made a few friends so we are planning to play some bigger point games soon too. Going to be facing Guard, Custodes, Necrons and Iron Warriors. I play Guard with Ministorum melee units.

>>54313137
Have a 500pts game against CSM for a campaign today, and probably a 1750 point game against Orks after that.
My GK could easily handle those orks last time, so not that worried. Thinking about trying my GK stormraven against them, haven't used it since 5th edition.

You don't even understand the point of that article, which isn't to shame LGBT, but to PREVENT CHILD ABUSE. You are ENDORSING CHILD ABUSE. You are, quite literally, a CHILD MURDERER when you trick those children into a lifetime of walking around being a drug-addled chimera that eventually commits suicide, instead of a regular healthy human being once puberty hits.

The man who said this was fired from his job for saying what he said. A medical official was fired for having an opinion on what is affecting thousands of people. Trying to claim that trannies kill themselves because of "transphobia" is one thing but trying to claim that people aren't losing their jobs over this shit is a whole other realm of delusion.

Can someone please help clear up some force organisation things for me?

1. If I want to include an assassin in an IG army, do I need a separate detachment, or do I simply include it as an elite choice in a mixed detachment?

2. In a similar manner, can I include a Death Jester as an elite choice in a detachment otherwise wholly made of Asuryani Eldar?

3. Can Company Commanders give orders to Scions, or do I need to have the Scion HQ guy to give orders to Scions?

4. Can I field Haemonculus Coven units in a detachment of Ynnari? If so, I assume they keep their regular Dark Eldar rules instead of gaining the Ynnari special rules?

5. Lastly, am I allowed to field Space Marines and Tyranids in the same army, as long as they are kept to different detachments? (Note I don't plan on doing this, it's just an example).

>Not an argument
Couldn't even resist replying to a SINGLE comment, shows you're pretty obsessive.

I'll tell everyone what's really going on here. You hit on a tranny girl at some point, being a modern channer you though "if it's cute, fuck it". But, sadly, you're an autistic creeper, probably made some really gross comments to her that sounded normal in your head. So you got angry and then got "red pilled" hard so you could do everything to avoid the possibility that someone rejected you because they didn't like you. So that's what this is really about. What was her name, anon?

You already derailed us from talking about our plastic toys, might as well be up front about it.

>>54312459
So I'm going thru my index, and maybe I'm missing something but how are Harley's a small elite force? Their point cost on doods seems pretty low, like you could have a metric fuckton of space elves by the time you hit 1k points. Do you just use the vehicles? I know I'm overlooking something simple here

>>54313267
>1. If I want to include an assassin in an IG army, do I need a separate detachment, or do I simply include it as an elite choice in a mixed detachment?
Yes, I expect this to be FAQ'd out in a few months--next year
>2. In a similar manner, can I include a Death Jester as an elite choice in a detachment otherwise wholly made of Asuryani Eldar?
Do they share any common factions? Then yes.

>>54313267

Read the rules. Specifically the part about detachments and faction keyword sharing. It's pretty fucking cut and dry. Share a keyword? Good to go. Don't share a keyword? GTFO

>>54313242
>think of the children!!!!!

You realize starting at a young age they just get puberty blockers and as they grow up can make their own decision about what to do? And if later they want to stop they can, it's no problem - once you stop the blockers the body just picks right back up again

Working on my dark mechanicum army, thinking of going tzentchian so the Changeling can make them harder to hit (also exalted sorcerors on disks).

Is a chaos lord on a disk strong enough with a chainfist to be decent anti-air?

I am definitely running an XV84 commander as a drone controller with a missile pod in order to get reroll ones for marker drones, and possible a barracuda AX-5-2 with the ion weapon loadout. Either the barracuda or a ghostkeel and broadside instead, still considering whether I want a flyer or whether a small distraction unit and an addition to my gunline would be better, I'll hopefully pick up a hammerhead soon

Can I get some feedback on my new Impguard list? Bullgryn in Valkyries

>>54311010
I've been out of the loop since 6th. How does this edition handle pairing different factions together? Like Nids and Necrons or some shit

>>54313392
Tau, if that matters.

>>54313531
P O T T E R Y

>>54313531
As predicted in >>54313494. You can't make this shit up folks.

>>54313528
Not possible outside of Open and Narrative play. Armies need to be composed of units that share at least one faction keyword.

>>54313545
Mk, thanks

>>54313528
All rules are linked in the OP, go read some rules.

All units in your army need to share at least one faction key word. Nids and Necrons share no faction keywords, and as such cannot be taken together in matched play. In the less competitive formats, you can do whatever you want, as long as your opponent agrees to it.

>>54313528
So far the answer is "Narrative Play". In matched play you have to share a keyword (Like "Imperium") or have a special rule to allow it (like GSC can take Guard). Otherwise you just do Open or Narrative play where the rules are more lax.

I'd actually like to get in a game where I can team up my Orks and GSCs. Be curious to see how odd armies work together.

>>54311223
Where are her nids?

>>54313507
Daemonforge engines and warpsmiths, but since they are daemons they can use the Changeling for defense.

>>54313586
I wonder if the stereotype that all girls play nids has finally died. I know when I first came to /tg/ in the early days of the board, every girl not only had nids, but also likely a "raped by giant bugs" fetish. Seems like such a simple time, looking back on it.

Do any of you even notice time pass when you're painting?

>>54313637
I was reading the apothecary's ability and it seemed too unreliable to be useful honestly

>>54313650
Pin your taints.

>>54313652
It is actually insanely reliable. You by default auto-heal D3 wounds at the start of every turn on a unit of your choice. And if there's no one left to heal you can choose to revive one of your guys on a 4+. This 4+ should be where you spend your command points on. More importantly, if you attach him to a high value squad, say the Deathwing Knights with Belial and the Ancient, you're getting a deathstar that hits hard and refuses to die.

>>54313521
valks in a separate air wing detachment for command points
Scion squads should be MSU, giving you a second battalion detachment with 3 squads of 5 with no weapon instead of that vanguard
if you don't want to do that lose a scion squad in exchange for special weapons on the other squads

>>54313650
At that point you may as well do assembly line painting.

So I may have gotten my hands on 80 unassembled pox walkers for cheap as fuck

I'm assuming they're pretty okay to run as a whole?

Not really, which is the best part about it

>>54313668
That sounds dirty

>>54313682
or put him with a centurion devastator squad in cover and have an anti-tank squad that never dies

>>54313702
It's that radio thing, but ebay models have some quirks to them so it looks more like a sweet potato.

>>54313700
>No giant GW sign over the gates

>>54313707
That's an option too but his army list is mono-deathwing so that would have been the best way to run it.

Really you just attach him to your favorite squad and watch them never die. That's the basic idea of the Apothecary. I believe you can also field multiple so go fucking nuts.

this leaves you about 80ish point under, figure out what to remove to make it (gtg now)

>>54313747
Barracuda seems like it's value right now, I mean for similar points it's better than a riptide it deals most dakka and is arguably similarly survivable due to hard to hit and innate 5++, with the railgun it becomes a real threat though loss of strafing run and drone controlled weapons hurt it dearly

I have 13 terminators with halabards, 1 caldor draigo. 4 terminators with psycannons. Two Nemezis Dreadnoughts with psycanons, incinerators or swords. What else do I need to buy to get a good army, model wise.
