Not when they're chosen of Khorne, no.

>>54351327
except at least half of these codexes won't have model releases so they can as well release 3 per month for those.
Nonetheless, according to this schedule, we just need 2 for October, 2 for November, 2 for December.

>>54351334
That's what I meant. Even if they take their sweet time the Overlord is almost certainly getting the plastic treatment before the Thunderhawk.

>>54351301

>>54351307
Duh. GW just released a brand new resin kit. I don't think it can be done in plastic.

Part of me is thinking the Overlord won't be done, it's just too big.

>>54351252
Has anybody got a close up of the Chaplain and Apothecary? Chaplain is fucking baller. GW has done quite well bar the shitty jetpack things.

>>54351405
I hope so. Also chaos Tau/internal conflict would be nice.

I hope that something has changed about the Aun'va situation after this time skip. It's hard to believe the Tau have been being fooled by a hologram for this long. Or if they have, it should be called out as an example of how complacent the populace is.

>>54351457
while there's certainly reasons to criticize 1d4chan, you can hardly blame them for writing that way when thats what this place was like then. And I would YOU want to go back and update hundreds of dumb jokes on a wiki to keep them relevant?

So I got the HH boxed sets (I love Mk3 armor) and now have 2 squads of Custodes....I've given in, how do I build an army of these guys? I know custodes are beasts on their own, but feel id struggle against horde armies and putting out enough shooting power.

What would be effective to run at 2000 points? What HQ would work best: Ordo Malleus, Gravis Captian, Librarian, etc?

Well he got squatted in AoS and so far this new edition and subsequent releases mirrored AoS, so I'd expect him to go and get replaced by a 4th God. Probably Ynnead.

The worst meme ever. Stop saying it. Slaanesh has had books about his followers, has rules, has fluff sections in the Chaos books and is regular mentioned in fluff events. Just because you only read 1d4chan, doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.

No one is saying it physically could not be done.
Just that GW won't do it when they never even did the Thunderhawk for decades.
It's too big for most games and they wouldn't sell enough for the molds to be worth it.

>>54351627

+1M. It lets you get into combat easier. Save +1A for Wyches. +1S for Leliath. I forget who gets +1T, but +1Ld to Beastmasters.

Master of the Fleet,

>>54351252
That Chaplain is sweet. I'm glad the Primaris ake well to religious ornamentation

Chaplain is fucking amazing. Why did GW make Death Company Chaplains for BA then not actually give them rules? That's a cool model. This new Chaplain is pretty baller. Reminds me of another model.. .A Librarian?

>>54351252
That apoc and chaplain models tho.

>>54351656

That's a statue.

>>54351666
>>54351684
Definitely want +1 on the Reavers, but I'm probably splitting mine up into two units, so only one can get that; thats why I was considering +1S for the Hellions and +1A for the second Reaver squad.

No other cult members in my ranks at the moment at least, so that saves me juggling any further.

>>54351744
>grey statue dude
>That's a statue

You don't say

>>54351752
>Definitely want +1 on the Reavers
+1T that is

The 8th ED rulebook says that the Tau shining Utopian world are being eyed by greater horrors of infinite malice and hate.

Necrons vs Tau confirmed. Who is hyped, anons?

>>54351752
>>54351764
Well I think +1M on them is better as it forces people to shoot you or ties up a unit in attack. But that's my opinion.

>>54351677
>I thought the whole point of 30k was to dump all their marine bullshit somewhere else?
I seriously hope you aren't retarded enough to think that because HH exists, and has existed for 3 editions, that meant that GW would stop focusing on the best selling line
>>marines are the poster boys
>>sell the most
>>make more marines
>Don't kid yourself. Marine love is not 100% fanbased. It's a vicious cycle.
No shit dumbass, people always gravitate towards stuff that something focuses on. Only a retard would deny that marines got popular in no small part because they've always been the focus, but only a retard would act like that negates the fact that their still the best selling line.
It's like complaining about Judge Dredd focusing on Judge Dredd, or Halo on masterchief. Since fucking RT marines have been on the cover, of course that means more people will go "hey, those look cool, I want to play as these guys."
The fact that marines are the focus of the setting makes marines sell well doesn't mean marines don't sell well, GW has made a conscious decision to focus on them since the game began and it's payed off extremely well for them, they have no reason to stop. If ain't broke don't fix it

going from 16M to 18M seems situational at best

>>54351795
Remember when you could make a 10 man formation in Apocalypse to represent the 10 Captains or Equiv? And you could do it for Grey Knights and in 5th they had special rules you could pick for each one, like Counter-Attack and shit. Was awesome.

>>54351815
Oh for sure but making them go faster is pretty cool. Few people expect stuff that fast . Lets your units get close. But that's just me. I and a few other people tried to work out what is best on what.

>>54351847
More it throws people off because of how quick you're getting forward. Though STR or Attack is fine too. I like Strength on Lelith.

>>54351795
Wait, they brought those out in failcast too? Man, I wish I'd known. I bought two of the metal sets when they first came out for conversions.

>>54351842
Warhammer Community just confirmed that the codex goes on preorder next saturday and they are doing a preview article every day for each chapter.

Saw a 35 power level game of O'rks vs Primaris at LGS.

Something like 30 choppa boys and 20 shootas, 5 bikes, weird boy and warboss vs 15 intercessors, librarian and captain.

Ended with just the Weird Boy left, last turn was melee of him, boss and captain. Captain killed boss but got magic missiled to death next turn.

You just don't play him with those rules, don't give a fuck what he says or thinks. If the other people follow him like sheep then fuck them too.

Alternatively turn up with a full Icarus Dunecrawler army and insist that he follows the rules for weapon and armour facings. If he cannot be taught that flyer spam is gay, he must be shown.

Remember when there was balance because everyone got a rules update all at once?

Remember when GW shat all over it by releasing codexes one at a time like usual therefore leaving some armies in the dust for years?

I can't imagine regular marines getting phased out and I'm 100% sure you will still be able to use your old figs

Is there are smaller version of the rulebook out yet? I remember 7th ed having small versions of the rulebook in the later releases of Dark Vengeance and that Kill Team box that cut out all the fluff bits and was all-around just a lot easier to flick through for rules queries.

Also, what's the difference between the upcoming codexes and the big index books they've just brought out? Are chapter tactics and chaos legion rules gone now as well (that was the impression I got just flipping through the book, but I'm aware I could have just overlooked it)?

I've not really kept on top of what's going on with 40k,so these are probably pretty entry level questions, but my gaming group are looking to get back into the hobby, so I'm trying to figure out what we'll need to update.

Sure anon ... sure

>>54352212

This is the only correct answer. All your old Marines are 100% playable forever, but they are officially soft squatted because only Primaris™ Adeptus Astartes™ will be getting new and/or updated models and kits. You'll still be able to buy the old models for at least one edition, but they'll slowly be phased out production for the new Primaris™ stuff.

>>54352215
Close. There will be points adjustments. The first 10 codexes are confirmed to be some type of Marine, and they'll all be out this year.

>>54352151
The replacement is teased in the novels, and having many counterparts being revealed makes clear it is eventually going to happen, but not soon.

I do like Tau, they have interesting minis and aesthetics, demo the stigma that revolves around the players keeps me away from them, at least until all WAAC fags shift to something else.

Verydian isnt a model update. ots a new character

Can fallen make for a solid replacement gunline if you take cultists as troops or is it just more efficient to grab a CSM squad and get it over with at once?

>>54352257
GW will probably keep producing at least the newer marine kits for the foreseeable future. The most recent marine kit is barely a year old or something, I highly doubt they'll only sell what they stocked up rather than keep producing untill the mold wears out.

That's basically what I said. They're going to keep up stick for their Marines for awhile, but there won't be any new kits for non Primaris™ anymore ever. Eventually, within probably a year maybe two, they'll stop producing classic Marines and things will slowly start to sell out. The rules for these models are here to stay, but they will slowly be phased out in favor of newer players with Primaris™ stuff.

Are all models as hard for beginners as Skitarii or did I just pick something that kicked me in the dick a bit?

Canonically three Inquisitors have joined up with the Tau. Two choosing to be members of the Tau Empire and an other choosing to be a trusted ally.

like i said before there is no point for GW to make big ass flyers that people will use 1 time for 10k multyplayer game and notice it is even more annoying to move than a Titan.

yet they already sold 1200+ Warlord as per the lasts Certificates.
Maybe because the kit is actually GOOD and they dont model every cable inside before putting ceramite on top.
AND the fact it is bigger, heavier, with more pieces AND Cheaper ?

Two Inquisitors choose to align themselves with the Tau because of that. They see the Tau needing guidance and education, not extermination. The Tau one day might be a great ally to the Imperium against the forces of Disorder and Chaos. That's solid reasoning.

Huh, that's actually pretty cool. I hope something comes from that in the future, given that it looks like Tau will be having chaos and genestealer problems very soon.

>>54353109
Not trying to do it, actually don't have Orks or IG right now. Do have Necrons who lack serious long range firepower.

>>54353110
Las. Heavy bolters don't mow infantry like flamers so you want it to commit to multiwound killing

>>54353110
You know, if you had a little more brain left and hadn't wrecked all your brain cells masturbating to cam girls with technicolor hair, you might be able to look at their rules RIGHT NOW and decide which of them you'd like best.

There's modelling for advantage and then there's modelling terrain specifically for the advantage of certain armies. wew lad.

>>54353021
I am not defending the retard prices of FW/GW.

I am just telling the reason why you can't have plastic GW titan flyers and the only reason people buy things like the Manta or Thunderhawk is for modelling purposes something that need a lot of unnecessary details, just see all those tank tha people model their interior or the crew and bridges in ships.

LOS blocking terrain is important for more than just indirect fire stuff.

So you don't know either, but instead of ignoring his post, you just had to act like a smug douche.

Not trying to make a board that favors me, but:

> That same player has Eldar with plans to spam Wraithguard

Everyone is touchy feely at my store. How do I hide my chinaman?

>>54353195
Atm 1 piece out of 4 was designed with artillery in mind. My old game table was terribly open, infantry was slaughtered every time by tanks in 7th. So trying to rectify that.

Don't tell them they are recasts.

>>54353245
That stops you from painting... how?

>>54353268
They're so much lighter than plastic, though?

>>54353245
No one will be able to tell the difference if you paint them.

>>54353248
Get two or three pieces that a larger tank can feasibly use as total cover. Helps break up the gunlines a bit.

In this edition especially, more terrain is always better than less.

>>54352618
Artillery is bae though, will go for it ty

>>54353274

>>54353274
Won't they be able to tell, even if it's painted?
