Just finished re-doing the T'au sheet, now with all of their index units, and with a much larger section for Crisis and Commander: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h0hk_IdJ7fivDEjMiIpKM5yMMB8HTm64lZHuKdLZCIU/edit?usp=sharing

I added a little extra something to the bottom, where I fiddled around with different costs of the crisis and commander models themselves, to see what values were necessary to get the two to be equally efficient, using mono- Burst Cannon and Fusion Blaster suits to test.

Fun fact: If you wanted to boost the point cost of the Commander model until it had equal efficiency to 42ppm Crisis suits, where everybody is wielding max fusion blasters, you'd need to make the Commander cost a whopping 149ppm. For equal efficiency, you'd need to DOUBLE its cost.

Of course, such extremes are less necessary for the significantly cheaper Burst Cannon, as in that case smaller changes are necessary for the same % deviation. Increasing the Commander to 120ppm would do the trick.

Man, this is messed up.

Also why is Death Guard releasing so bloody late? Unless there's some sort of Age of Sigmar release early September which would make sense I guess.

They're supposed to have 10 Codexes by Christmas though, only four out by late September will make for a pretty weird release schedule after that.

I'm new and by far the armies that absolutely crush my tits are any blobs of am, tyranids, or whatever. I just don't have enough shots to kill all those dudes and I haven't mastered any way to win *without* killing them. I really don't know what to do, I fight my friends blobs and he just shoots my marines from a distance then when I get there I don't even have enough guys to kill all the stuff. and I didn't when the game started either.

Honestly fielding a Primarch seems a bigger dick move than fielding a superheavy. A knight is pretty fair priced for what it brings, but with a Primarch the narrative dick sucking means they'll always err on the side of broken or at least unfair to fight against.

Something along the lines of the Solar Auxilia. They fit the 40K theme better than boring Cadians.

However, I wouldn't mind going back to the old style Cadians. They actually had a charm and their models weren't boring as fuck.

If neither of those two is allowed I want something along the lines of the Militarum Tempestus. As much as people love to hate their chest armor, they fit into the setting 1000x better than a lot of models. The baroque style of 40K works greatly with them.

>>54395665
Gatling cannons seem overall like the best choice, but you might want something a bit more capable of dealing with tough targets.

Thermal cannon isn't terrible, RFBC is also good. Basically all the guns are OK.

Melee weapons seem pointless, since you get the feet anyway and they are great.

All the back weapons have some value, but I'd say the ironstorm pod is what I would choose simply because it's cheap and can hit things out of LoS.

Land Raider Crusader or Land Raider Redeemer?

I'm not really sold on flamers this edition, while 2d6 shots of strength 6, AP -2, damage 2 seems pretty scary, an 8" range really cripples the potential, the hurricane bolters pumping out 12 shots of strength 4, AP 0, 1 damage from 24" away or 24 shots if it's less than 12" seems more reliable and versatile, and good for making sure my Assault Terminators actually get to their destination without their land raider getting popped open.

Plus with a Redeemer I could fit a Chaplain Terminator in with an Assault Terminator squad, but with a Crusader I could fit a Chaplain Terminator and two other Terminator models in as well, such as a Librarian or simply two more Assault Terminators.

No, if you play a successor or homebrew chapter you don't get any Chapter Tactics.

>>54396408
Agreed. Primaris are way too large, they look like minatures from a different tabletop game that uses a different scale models.
>>
>>54396404
No, you can choose whatever you like. See the recent Warhammer Community article for example. However, keep in mind that you won't have access to any of their special characters if you do this.
>>
>>54396404
Yes, there's literally an entire GW article about this, an official facebook post about this, and a whole thread up discussing this. Did you just wake up or something?

>>54396408
Disagree, Primaris look better proportionally than Deathwatch and 1ksons. The problem is they don't look as good design-wise. It's a style thing. You could make differently stylized models with Primaris proportions that would be god-tier.
>>
>>54396312
I was only pretending to be retarded.
>>
>>54396404

Usually, but if your chapter is wildly divergent of their parent there's no harm picking the one that simulates their style best.

Plus remember: You don't need to play a sucessor in the same playstyle as their parent chapter. You could play white scars chapter tactics without a single bike, for example. Or Raven Guard tactics gunline with terminator disruption units striking into enemy lines. The tactics can back a broad range of playstyles!

Nope. Successors use the Chapter Tactics of their founding Chapter (assuming it was a First Founding Chapter). Confirmed in today's WC article.

Melee focus Necron army is super fun to play against because as much as I love shitting out dice with my 60 warriors, it lacks the strategic depth I like to employ with Praetorians, Royal Court, and my Lychguard.

And Primaris aren't baseline Astartes, they have new proportions, so that argument is meaningless.

Wait for the fucking multipart kit you animals.

Do you have any idea how many morons I've seen buying up dark vengeance kits to "convert a truescale army" when they're clearly borderline snapfit monopose models?

And I mean Christ, it can't even be easy to convert Mark X armour into an earlier pattern, it has all kinds of little unique features.

I would like more variants of Flayed Ones. (and in plastic mind you, I still havent built my resin ones)

Also more Canoptek things. Wraiths and scarabs are fun but I would like more variety or shooty stuff.

Definitely more types of Obelisks and Monoliths. Maybe smaller ones that work kind of like how Russ tanks work for IG. A small Monolith bigger than the Anny Barge that is a dedicated Anti-Armor vehicle. Because other than Tomb Blades most Necron vehicles use Tesla.

Other than that I dont really know. Maybe Tomb World specific units like how Anrykyr has the Phyrrian Immortals, I would like to see things like those as their own unique model while also keeping the ability to just designate a regular Immortal group as those units.

Deathwatch wouldn't since they're getting the Primaris upgrade just like all other space marines.

Thousand Sons you can technically do however you want since they don't even have bodies, they're just dust in a suit of armour. The sorcerers could just steal some Mk X armour, pour the dust in them and rubric it.

No, because the Emperor doesn't reincarnate people. It was the Eldar god's who did it for them. This ended when Slaanesh nom'd them.

Codex Imperialis, apparently. The novel regularly points this out and basically comes down to 'nobody would argue with him and those that do are eventually swung around by his words'. There is a reason he wanted Mathaieu to be a buddy because for shit he couldn't do, he'd have the Ecclesiarchy say it was fine which would get it done.

>Is Rob going to modify the Codex Astrates?
Of course, it was never supposed to be cast in stone. It's not working for the current situation as well as it could, so he's making changes. After 10k years went by he's realized some of the decisions he made in the past are mistakes and now he's fixing them.

Warrior spam sounds like the only thing a Necron player like myself has to have a chance of winning. Long range guns will wreck most Necron units. Melee can effectively cancel reanimation protocols.

2d6 autohits with str 6. Ap -2, dmg 2 is quite good and don't forget that you measure from the front of the landraider, not the flamers anymore, so 8" isn't that bad considered your cargo wants to get close.

Reading the novel is hilarious, especially once you get to Calgar's perspective. Poor guy just feels like a failure, he's even blaming Ultramar citizens for the changes his Primarch is proposing, thinks Cato Sicarius is out to replace him, and it seems Robby G isn't the heroic figure he thought he was, especially given that Calgar still thinks the Codex is some kind of holy writ that needs to be adhered to at all times.

It should be changed so that it's a one-off thing. Not a bullshit "every turn I get 'x' amount back". Every other army with spawning/respawning has a restriction except them.

Yeah
Chaplain in Terminator Armor with Crozius and Storm Bolter
115 + 0 + 2 = 117
5x Assault Terminator with thunder hammer and storm shield
5x(31+20+5) = 280
Land Raider Crusader with twin assault cannon, 2x hurricane bolter, storm bolter, multi-melta
244 + 35 + 2x4 + 2 + 27 = 316

So that's 713 points tied up in what amounts to a single unit, would that really be worth the trouble? I mean it sounds cool, but I hear a lot of stuff in 8e is pretty good at fucking over elite infantry and maybe I'd get more use out of those 700 points somewhere else, but I dunno, I haven't played a real game yet.

I was really wanting to use my Venerable Chaplain Dreadnought, my two Ironclads and my Venerable Dread in this army as well, but those guys all together are another 801 points, which would leave me only 486 points to finish an army out with.

You say that, but his armour basically being a miniaturised dreadnought explains it's bizzare proportions.

Would it be unreasonable to ask my opponent to allow my Blood Angels to use a Chapter Tactic since our book won't even be out this year and is likely to have a Chapter Tactics-like special rule like Red Thirst or something?

The only things interesting about Gulliman are his flaws, and the writers want to downplay those so he ends up boring.

Honestly if he wasn't a Primarch with all the GODLY SUPER BETTER THAN ALL baggage that comes with it, his empire building, assured he knows what's best for everyone attitude could be fairly intetesting.

That's it? You realize you only have to rez them in coherency right? The enemy would need a 360 degree surround to even weaken that absolutely bonkers rule.

If you want a rule that's actually counterable try Tau's Supporting Fire, literally useless without enemies that want to charge you.

Or Ynnari's SFD. Since vehicles can't use it you just have to weaken their squads to the point of uselessness. 1 guardian isn't going to do shit to you on a soulburst.

No one follows the 1000 limit in its entirety, Not even the First Founding Chapters who choose to follow the Codex. Just look at the DA: They have over 20 squads of First Company Terminators, over a 100 Neophytes outside the 10 squads, and almost every company has it's own veteran squads that should be made up of the First Company, but aren't. So the DA have over 300+ more than the typical 1000 limit.

Red Hunters are the official Inquisition army, mostly doing bodyguard detail for important inquisitors.

Grey Knights and the Deathwatch are related to the Ordo Malleus/Xenos and work alongside Inquisitors of those chambers.

Black Templars have fought plenty of times alongside the Inquisition even receiving relics from them as reward for their service. You could also have a particularly religious chapter work alongside an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor.

Why is Angron the most boring daemon primarch?

>>54397514
A single Space Marine life is worth thousands of Guardsmen, of course they flee when they can't win. It's the pragmatic and correct move. They are never thrown away needlessly when the High Lords have nigh-infinite conscripts for that.
>>
>>54397507

Let's not pretend the council has any sway over a Primarch as GW has been writing them as demigods. If he's in the room they'll either verbally fellate him or be effortlessly brushed aside by his force of personality.

Even though he doesn't -have- much of a persiality and it's more of a warp aura that overwhelms nearby people.

Doesn't work. Their cover saves are too good for lascannons to be effective unless the Guard player is ONLY spamming shit tons of lascannons. This is also ignoring the fact that the Guard player would be spending half (or more) of their army trying to focus a single unit down that can still heal up if it isn't wiped.
>>
>>54397682
W-well your mommy over cooks tendies!!!
>>
>>54397688
Cover saves only increase save by 1. Making them just as tough as Terminators. And Lascannons are -3 if I remember correctly. 5 immortals shot lascannons is definitely enough to smash at least 2 or 3, dice willing.

Uh nice headcanon there. He is more or less one of the better politicians among his brothers. He went into the council after touring Terra nonstop for like a week. He had the full weight of the court of opinion behind him, and the council knew it. They had no real power to stop him or resist his plan to strip some of them of their powers.

They're just campy in all the wrong ways,
and do not match the setting at all. They're also direct translations of British African troops that replace their Einfield rifle with a lasgun and virtually nothing else. Most of the other "translation" cultures - like Catachan, Vostroyan/Valhallan, Tallarn, Steel Legion,
etc. - have practical justifiactions for their clothing (i.e. a loose-fitting robe with a face cover makes sense for Tallarns because they are from a desert world where such clothing has practical benefits), but Praetorians are nothing more than Bolt-Action figures with a lasgun

Y..you're judging 70,000,000 people on the actions of a few? Like saying all Americans are fat, lazy and dumb because they're fat lazy and dumb in every country they go to. That is, of course, only 1/3rd of the population of USA cause the rest don't have passports.

As for the models...And? Let me guess, Catachans are way cool because MURRICA and so on? When they're just Vietnam soldiers with a lasgun instead of a M16. Furthermore, British African Troops used Martini-Henry's, not Lee Enfields. It wasn't until they became South Africa that they used Lee Enfields. The rest of the fluff used to exist and it was slightly more than what you say.

Not that it matters, they're gone now. Many people liked the campy and shit, this was before 40k got SERIUIUZ BUZZINESS!

I dont understand the question. Theyre just Chaos Devastators. Their range is whatever weapon theyre using. Lascannons are 48

Depends on the weapon.

Typically they are armed with Meltaguns, Autocannons, or Lascannons, though, so plan on point-blank or 48"+

Or they could run Autocannons which are 2 shot S7 AP -1 D2 at 48" and even cheaper than reapers.

Elite armies, flyer armies and gunline armies. Elite is boring because I spend a lot of time doing very little at a time, which is boring for me and my opponent. Gunline is boring because I either do the same or spend the game playing catch up as they run away and throw sacrifice units at me. Stuff like Custodes in their Land Raiders, Primaris Marines, Grey Knights, Tau, Deathwatch and gunline Guard are all boring to go up against.

Now armies that have a mix of everything, that's where it's at. I run with a lot of variety since I play Guard with Ministorum. I have durable units, melee units, long range units and horde blobs. When I play against other armies like this the games are always a blast. That's why I like playing against Chaos, Nids, Necrons, sometimes Marines, sometimes Dark Eldar/Eldar and Orks.

Flyers aren't specific to any army for me, just anyone that takes a bunch of them are obnoxious.

I never understood why the Contqual Purge was such a big deal. The Iron Hands didn't just randomly purge a third of the population within a solar system without reason, those heretics literally sold their souls to Daemons and were worshiping Chaos.

The Iron Hands were honestly too merciful, given that the vast majority were still spared for their treason and fraternization of Chaos Space Marines. If the Inquisition was involved, there wouldn't be a Contqual left standing. Everyone would subjected to exterminatus for being chaos tainted.

The Inquisition has honestly destroyed sub-sectors for less. Look at Armageddon after its First War. The Inquisition literally thought all of Armageddon's population was tainted and needed to be sterilized and killed off, if possible, simply for seeing Chaos.

No, the Inquisition wanted to kill the whole population of Armageddon because they MIGHT have seen daemons. Or listened to somebody that saw daemons.

They wanted to purge Armageddon because standard protocol was to cover up the Warp. They had an entire planet see warp daemons and couldn't let them live to tell the rest of the Imperium about it. Keep in mind though that it was the greatest daemonic invasion in the post-Scouring era by that point.

In comparison, Fenris was spared a complete purging and the Grey Knights settled for grabbing the population for their recruitment quotas. So attitudes definitely changed as the galaxy got worse.

Look, I know it's an irrational dislike. I really do. But every time I look at those models all I can see is the shitty tourists I had to deal with, who were only surpassed by the Spanish and the Chinese in their shittiness.

The tourists we dealt with were, as a general rule, complete assholes who had no regard for other people and would often intentionally refuse to follow social norms, and would then get in trouble with locals. Common problems we had were:

>Not watching kids at all, and then refusing to intervene if the kid begins to cause problems

>Refusing to tip at restaurants. This isn't a big thing by itself, but a large chunk of them would be very open about how the refused to tip, and then wondered why they wouldn't get great service and bitch to us about it - even though we explained that not tipping will sometimes cause you to get worse service.

>Wandering off the tour and starting shit with locals.

>Calling Mexicans "Spaniards," and then wondering why they got pissed the hell off.

>Freaking out whenever they saw a gun (to the point where one woman called in an "active gunman" call on a plainclothes cop with his sidearm holstered while he ate lunch in a food court).

>Shit-talking locals and calling it "banter," then wondering why people got pissed off at them. Specifically calling Texans "Colonials," when Texas was never a part of Britain whatsoever and most of its people have no British ancestry.

>Not wearing any sunscreen whatsoever and burning to cancer-levels of red, then getting absolutely fucking plastered at local bars that night, so they wake up burned and hung over and act like huge dicks because they feel horrible

>Constantly lecturing about how life is better in Britain and how awful America is

>Complaining about lack of public transport, despite our explanations that subway tunnels and passenger lines are simply not feasible in Texas (Especially Houston where it floods)

They acted like stereotypical American tourists.

Oh, and forgot some things:

>Getting plastered during the afternoon while in public and forcing us to wrangle their asses onto the bus

>Young men only ever wanted to go to clubs. That was it. That's all they wanted to do, ever.

>Constantly asking where they could buy drugs, as if I could or wanted to tell them.

>Calling people "Cunts," and telling them to not be so offended by it, despite our constant warning about how that is an extremely offensive word in the US to the point of possibly getting the shit kicked out of you simply for calling a woman one.

>Starting fights with locals, especially when intoxicated, and then us or their embassy having to bail their asses out of jail

>Blatantly racist conversations about locals, especially about black people and Mexicans

>Calling Middle-Eastern/South Asian people "Pakis," and not understanding why they get so pissed off about it

>Shit-talking religion and making fun of Christianity, especially "fundies and Baptists," when in public.

>Lecturing locals on how to fix America, despite knowing virtually nothing about America

>Speaking "fake Spanish," which was just vaguely-Spanish sounding gibberish, when making fun of Mexicans

A lot of these things weren't too awful by themselves, but they add up fast, and we did not experience these problems to anywhere near the same degree as every other group. It was as if they simply assumed that just because they spoke English, they didn't have to adapt their behavior or attempt to follow social norms of a foreign country, and then constantly ran into problems when the reality of it hits full in the face and would refuse to adapt their behavior. They treated Texas like it was Britain, and that was an absolutely surefire way to get treated poorly in Texas.

Absolute worst moment though was when a Spanish girl said, "These Anglos couldn't have been very good if they got killed by dirty Mexicans," at the Alamo when we paired with a Mexican group.

Houston, but we ran a Houston-San Antonio-Austin circuit over five days.

I won't name the company (because I work in a public office), but I did it for five years and left four years ago. The daytime was guided tours of local attractions and local culture, while afternoon and evenings were on-their-own, and groups of 15-20 would all stay in the same hotel. It was predominantly European/Latin American clientele, but we did some Chinese groups and at least a few Saudi groups. I mostly worked the European ones though because me no habla espanol goodo.

It was interesting and opened a lot of doors for me, but I will never go back lol.

Again, though, this was in SIGNIFICANTLY greater proportion than groups of other nationalities, compounded even further by the fact that they spoke English as a primary language and therefore had no problems understand our instructions. They would then act as if they were not in the wrong, and refuse to adapt their behavior to fit the norms of the foreign country they were visiting even when instructed as to how such behavior can and will cause problems for them.

It got so bad that us veterans would actively avoid taking their shifts when we could, and every EPL new hire would sign up for them once or twice and then avoid them like the plague afterwards. We had to actually be ASSIGNED to those tours.

Again, not necessarily that the problems existed, but that the problems were present in significantly greater numbers, and the people causing the problems consistently refused to fix them despite clear instructions on why and how to do so.

Oh, sorry, they can kill T3 5/6+ quite effectively. Call the papers, I'm sure this is news.

It's very simple. Two Hive Fleets meet around a prey-world. They both land ground forces and fight each other. The side that wins devours the other one. They become one fleet with the collective biomass of both and intertwined genetics greater than the sum of its parts.

Presumably the winning side just eats the losing side in space with zero resistance, or maybe the ships fight in planetary orbit so any bioships that die fall into the atmosphere and none of their biomass is lost.

If a non-Tyranid threat shows up during the conflict the Hive Fleets immediately stop fucking around and join forces to kill them before going back to what they were doing.

In the long run it makes the Tyranids stronger as a collective whole and is very very bad news for everyone else, to the point where the Eldar and Dark Eldar once teamed up and dug up some ancient planet-destroying super-weapons and nuked a system to ashes to stop Leviathan and Kraken from converging like this.

Now the latest rulebook fluff has Hive Fleet Hydra going around specifically targeting the splinters left over of previous failed Hive Fleets and consuming them, consolidating them all into its genepool one by one.

Look through their codex you faggot. Most of the shit is overpriced for what it can do because of reanimation protocols. Only things not overpriced are warriors and immortals.

Tomb blades alone are such a joke at 34 points a model that I can't even comprehend the thought process of making them so expensive and that's for the cheapest shittiest configuration.

Destroyers being 63 points a piece, 75 for a heavy (one shot at str 9 is worth 75 points).

Preatorians being 35 points a piece. Lychguard at 30 without shields 37 with. You can only ever take like one unit of these guys these days or waste too many points to be competitive.

And if you honestly think killing these, besides maybe shield lychguard, is hard then you need to re-evaluate your lists.

Fucking nerf reanimation and lower the cost on these things otherwise it's just blobs of warriors with cryptek support going forward. Yay, so fun!

you're seriously going to argue that biomass is more important than energy?

The stuff that makes up biomass isn't rare. It's made from rocks. literally. It just takes energy to make it out of rocks.

If nids can get unlimited energy from 'soaking up sunlight', then they can just eat the very easy to find rocks everywhere and don't need to bother with attacking inhabited systems.

Biomass isn't something magic. It's chemical energy and information.

Take a look at plants. They live of nothing but dirt, water and sunlight. Yet you don't see them move around much do you ? Why aren't they floating through space conquering galaxy after galaxy ?
Guess what, organic solar power that life can support produces so little energy that plant's don't have any to spare. So they just sit there, and don't move an inch.
Tyranids, judging by how hyperactive they are, probably consume quite some energy. This is probably why they've come to the milky way : they consumed everything they could where they came from. Though with the insane amounts of biomass that is contained within the hive fleets, they can most likely spare some in order to optimize their combat spawns.

Yes, getting easy energy is the point of predation.
Combat forms expending lots of energy is the point.
Two hive fleets fight, a lot of energy is expended. Getting back the MASS means shit for the equation. The mass is the unimportant bit. The energy is the important part and that doesn't come back.

The whole "nothing is lost when two hive fleets fight" is stupid, because it thinks biomass is magic, and not just a convenient form of energy. And genetic information.

Well in AOS, blues and brimstones still shoot, albeit worse after each split. I don't really care about the brimstones doing it (if anything, I think they shouldn't, but should have 2 wounds instead of 1), but the lore even goes out of the way to say that blue horrors, unlike their gleeful pink predecessors spew forth magical blue flame from their fingers.
I don't really mind how the splitting functions in 40k, keeping them all as one unit, as AOS forces you to start out with a unit of blues and a unit of brimstones to refill them by splitting.
I just wish each horror had their own diminishing weapon profiles.
>>
>>54399392
You cant make Tyranids out of energy. You make Tyranids out of mass.

Energy doesn't have genetic information that lets you adapt new genetic strains.

Energy is superabundant and meaningless as a resource when you have genetically engineered organisms capable of harnessing it hyper-efficiently that you can spread across entire planets in a matter of days.

Tyranids consuming worlds is called predation as a colloquialism. It's more accurately assimilation. It is an ecosystem expanding its size by absorbing more matter and more genetic possibilities.
>>
>>54399544
except mass is easier to get than energy.
If you have infinite energy, you don't need to attack inhabited systems, you just go to empty systems and eat the rocks. Which have plenty of mass.

Biomass is just rocks with energy added.

>>54399556
>still missing the point.
energy gets used up by combat. Getting the mass back is unimportant.

All the mass is left over when human armies fight. That doesn't help them recover, because the energy that got pored into making all the things gets expended and broken up in the fighting.

Mass is easy, energy is hard. Biomass is important because the mass contains chemical potential energy.

entropy you fucking moron.
It's concentrations of energy. When energy is expended it's taken from a concentraded state to a dispersed state.
And if you want to concentrate it again, you need to spend MORE energy to do so.

And again, if you have infinite sun energy, you don't need biomass. You just need rocks. Biomass is made out of rocks. It's not special rare matter.
>>
>>54399618
>All the mass is left over when human armies fight. That doesn't help them recover, because the energy that got pored into making all the things gets expended and broken up in the fighting.
That's because they don't use biotechnology which grows itself and performs its own labour.

Energy is easy as fuck to get when your race is made of all types of organisms including photosynthesizing autotrophs.

Once you've reached this point, though, we're you're so energy efficient you can convert your stores of mass into usable living forms, the only way to grow is bottlenecked by getting more mass, not more energy.
>>

>We don't turn earth's biomatter into nothing but energy every time we eat
No, what we do is turn a very tiny amount of the matter we consume into energy through various chemical processes. It's a tiny amount, like way less than 1%, but there still is just that tiny bit less matter than before.

Entropy isn't meaningful in this context. Yeah there are losses of energy, who the fuck cares, they have more than they can ever use.

Rocks don't have all forms of requisite matter to make complex organic chains contained in convenient locations. It's easier to eat pre-existing eco-systems, gaining genetic data in the process, than it is to synthesize it from unliving matter.

You are literally trying so hard to make this sound complicated when it's really not.

No it doesn't, it's just converted from living creatures into corpses still made of biological meat and shit.

The problem with making tanks isn't energy, it's the time and labour invested in crafting all the parts. Living things handle this on the microscopic level.
>>
>>54399675
getting them to conveniant locations just takes energy.
biomass is just rocks with energy put in to get the atoms in the right form.
If energy doesn't matter, then there isn't a difference.
If energy does matter, then getting back biomass does not get you around the entropy problem.

genetic data is a point. But nid fluff is rarely about getting more genetic information. It's all about the biomass.

I'm not making it complicated. I'm making it very simple. Getting back the mass after a battle is not enough to undo all the cost of a battle. That is my entire point.

Nid fluff uses the term "biomass" to mean "mass that can be used to make biotech".

You're not understanding proportions are a thing. You can harvest 8 trillion tons of rock but if 99% of it is carbon you have way more carbon than you need to make all your gribbly bits and not enough of the other elements.

So they go to where life is already sustained because that's literal living proof that the resources in that location are in the right proportions, AND it's faster to harvest, AND it comes with genetic information, and they take that and move on, instead of wasting their time assimilating non-nutrient rocks.

No one said it's magic or that it doesn't take energy, but you keep harping on energy after multiple anons have already told you why it's not a problem. Nids can harvest it easily. The problem for other races is the time it takes to convert raw energy and raw matter into usable forms. Building a tank from scratch is labour intensive. Growing a tank-sized beast with it's own biological processes at the cellular level is far easier. It takes the same amount of resources but does it faster. No one said it doesn't take energy to do this. You're strawmanning so fucking hard it's embarrassing.
>>
>>54399763
yeah, it's old canon they decided to stop talking about.
But the big point is that if energy doesn't matter, ie if entropy doesn't matter, then all that matters is getting more matter and information. So eating biomass, as opposed to other forms of matter (ie rocks) doesn't mean anything unless that biomass contains new genetic information.

if entropy and energy are irrelevant, then rocks and biomass you already have the genetic information for are same fucking thing.

Biomass is faster to harvest.

The key element here is time.

Nids are faster at what they do than the other races. That's their advantage. They grow faster, intake resources faster, convert those resources to usable forms faster, adapt and change faster, so they have numerical and strategic advantages over the other races. It's a logistics game that they are ruthlessly efficient at. The only ones who can sort of compete are Orks, for similar reasons, but they don't use biotech for everything so they get bottlenecked at the guns and tanks stage unless they loot pre-existing shit from other races.

That is not the rare part.
Repeat, having carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen are not uncommon.

If the time to put them into the proper form matters, then the time to put back things from the wrong combination matters. then getting back the biomass after a battle is not enough, because the matter isn't in the right form anymore because energy was used in the battle.

If rock being in a different form than plant matters, then nid flesh being in a different form after being hit by acid from other nid must also matter.

Sure, it's a issue of scale, but if rock=/=biomass than something gets lost when two hivefleets fight.

Yeah, the amount of time it takes for the tyrannoformed biosphere to convert the system's sunlight and the raw resources in the atmosphere/soil back into living Tyranids.

That's it. They lose time. But they lose a lot less time than any other factions infighting would cause them to lose. That's what it means by "effectively lose nothing", because they regain what the lost in a matter of days, while if the Imperium fought itself on a planet and bombed itself into ashes it would take them centuries to rebuild back to what the had with the same raw resources left over.

Living biomass is important because whatever drives the Hive Fleets decides it is.

And we DON'T know what drives them.

Honestly I think the release of Primaris was a great move by GW for many reasons.

It moved the lore forward in an interesting way - the new arc is mirroring the Emperor's first Great Crusade in many respects, albeit a pale shadow. It's like the Byzantine empire's brief reconquest after Rome fell.

It began the move to true scale, which looks FAR better than old scale. Astartes are supposed to be inhumanly large demigods of warfare, not just commandos in space. This was a great way to allow players to transition to that scale.

At the same time, they gave a lore reason why there are some shorter and larger marines mixed together now. Eventually I imagine everything will be Primaris-sized but until then the old models have their niche.

I think GW could do vehicles the same way - release specialized vehicles for Primaris use, scaled to their size, like a new Rhino Mk V or whatever, but let players use either rhino model interchangeably. Eventually the old ones will be replaced by bigger ones and everything will look better.

See >>54399886

There's no NET loss of biomass. Obviously energy was lost during the fighting, but it's replenished so quickly that shortly after the fighting is over they've already converted everything back to biomass.

Do you understand now?

Eldar a Cute. Since I've broken up with my girlfriend, I guess that means i'm now the proud owner of an Autarch with wings, as well as a single Wave Serpent. Oh joy, maybe I'll put them under the airbrush and see what I can come up with.

Whith my GK I keep my distance from units with storm shields untill I can focus them down with Smite spam. It's not much, but at least it's better than

Would it be a bad idea to run Leviathan without a dop pod?

And how effective is autocannon Deredeo?
>>
>>54399948
It's important because they want to broaden their gene pool so they have more options to work with in genetically engineering new strains of Tyrannic life-form to fulfill unforeseen tasks necessary to their continued survival.

I don't even know what this says. You mean the paint job is too thick? What is RGG?
>>
>>54399930
Fair enough. I was just using biomass as a catch all for "We use this stuff to grow murdery things".
>>
>>54399948
>whatever drives the hive fleet decides it is.
You mean whatever the writers decide it is.
Because the writers think biomass is something magic, because they don't really know science.
Which is cool because 40k is basically a fantasy setting in space.
So biomass is magic for nids. Cool.
I mean vampires have blood be magic.
Pain is magic for dark eldar.

That's all cool.

>>54399970
That's a part of it, but the Hive Mind had weird motivations. Especially regarding Blood Angels.

yeah, 40k authors have no sense of scale.
because if using rocks just slows them down a bit, and fighting also slows them down, then going for worlds where they're getting fought instead of all of the empty systems with rocks to build up a base before exposing themselves to fights is real fucking stupid.

I mean 40k has less sense of scale than most sci-fi. So whatever.

Here's a rundown so far
> Leviathan isn't Drop-Pod Mandatory anymore
> It does fairly well when given one ranged weapon, and one melee weapon.
Also, here have this, straight from the wiki:
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Space_Marines(8E)#Forge_World_6

Anyway, I've only ever brought my Deredeo once to a game, but it seems so far that the Autocannons are the best loadout because of their sheer versatility. Autocannons in general actually are pretty well off in this edition, since they hard-counter mutli-wound infantry, as well as counter vehicles pretty nicely.

It's no longer the END-ALL of anything sporting the word "Fly", but on the other hand it's still the best unit in the entire imperium for similarly dealing with flyers. Just in general, load it up with autocannons for versatility, and enjoy it's ability to slam basically anything with 20~ wounds.

There was a comic someone made out of this. But I dont have it.

I have a very skewed perspestive on autocannons, because wave serpents really do fuck them over.
Glad to hear they're good in most situations.
Also stacking -BS, and stacking -WS in close combat.

This is not true.

No, Space Marines do indeed take entire planets. They even defend entire planets which is even more insane.

>>
>>54400241
They take and defend planets by killing the enemy leaders and smashing their supply routes in pinpoint rapid assaults and then retreating. What they cannot do is hold territory. They only have 1000 guys. It doesn't matter how good those guys are, even if they were literal godmode dudes with all the cheats turned on a video game so they one-shot any enemy and were invincible they cannot hold a planet with forces that small. It mathematically is impossible. Not impossible like "oh my god those are impossible odds, no one can do that! Except THESE HEROES WHO BEAT THE ODDS" I mean literally impossible in the sense that you cannot roll a 7 on a six-sided dice.

What I've heard about American tourists is that they're a bit clueless and presumptuous but extremely affable and fun to be around.

Any truth to the stereotype?
>>
>>54400253
I don't get it? Is this a meme?
>>
>>54400286
This is more or less true of most Americans I've met.

At worst they're arrogant and obnoxious
At best, they're a friendly and lively

Most of the time they're something of a mix.

Which is the better anti-air: the Xiphon Interceptor or the Fire Raptor?
>>
>>54400281
Yeah, my impression was they conquer planets by wrecking any kind of coordinated defenses that planet might be able to put up, and then letting the legions of Guard handle the actual invasion and garrisoning
>>
>>54400381
Yes exactly that's how I imagine it has to work too

I am considering branching into space marines to supplement my Imperial Guard army and make them more of a combined "Imperium" army. What canonical chapters work best for this purpose? As in, which chapters would work in tandem with generic troops?

Some thoughts I had were:

>Salamanders for the obvious "protect baseline humans" thing they've got going for them.

>Mentors are an obscure chapter that basically augments all other imperial forces with high strategy

>Raptors are known to work with local forces

I also would like a chapter that uses camo so their vehicles look good beside chimeras and stuff. For that I can only think of Raptors and Warbringers.

Any thoughts?
