On the table of 1 - 6, where 1 is someone literally just starting out, and not even knowing to thin their pants, and 6 being golden daemon winner.

Duncan himself is a Level 5 painter. All his tutorials are intended for level 1/2 painters looking to get up to level 3, which would be the point where you get tabletop quality. This is pretty good because duncan's tutorials are literally the best tutorials in the goddamn market for beginner painters. Since they're no more than 1 to 2 minutes long, and provide all the information you need to do it yourself in that short amount of time. It serves as a great starting point for newbies, and can be a stepping stone if people want to advance to high level painting skills.

When I started painting 5 or so years ago, I first started by watching a fuckload of tutorials. And only AFTER did I begin. As a result my first-ever model is about a level 2.5. Today I have 3 level 5 models under my belt, and I'm working on learning super advanced shit like Non-metal-metalics, Glazeblending, and Weathering. This is about the same stage duncan is at in his personal work.

I like the stratagem that are old school synergy - like the whirlwind auto hit when the target can be seen by and is within 12" of a speeder. Rules like that make me happy.

Overall looks good so far, and I think I'm one of the few people who thinks BTs are fine as well.

I can't imagine that Redemptors are going to be very popular in older chapters: The ancient is more important than his chassis, and the fluff indicates Cawl cut corners on life support to make it more mass-producible.

Of course Gulliman sees the primaris as cannon fodder and they probably have a huge pro-Cawl bias, so they'll use it.

Things like this make me wonder about what GW is thinking sometime.

Mathhammer is a fairly basic way to figure out if something sucks or not. And I have never seen something to show poor results with mathhammer, and end up being good on the table.

>>54453288
At that point they could have gone with no codex for small factions like gk. One good thing would be to have all datasheets from generic SM next to those of GK since going back and forth is annoying. Also allow libbies to use sanctic powers?

It happens. People are super particular about what is okay in their mind to play. You'll hear people basically whine about 80% of the units. Even if they went up against their own army, they would complain about what was taken.

Index Astartes in 3rd edition, they dont worship chaos they use it as a tool. Of course there's a fine line there where at some point demons are using you or you have begun to worship them in order to gain more power.

Iron Warriors hate mutation and just because they dont worship chaos doesnt mean chaos isnt corrupting their souls.

Okay, so Agressors are officially weird, though without the missile pack on are the first primaris model I unreservedly find cool.

6 cost the same as 20 unupgraded tactical marines, and output an average of 57 Bolter shots at 18 inches instead of 40 at 12 inches. If they stand still, it doubles to 114 goddamn Bolter shots.

On the other hand, less durable than terminators and for some weird reason they both have incentive to stand still, a slow move rate, no alt-deployment method and -dual power fists-, making them flexible but contradictory, and a big fire magnet that can't really take the heat.

Conversely, you can take flamer versions, which are less anti-horde capable but still okay at it, and have more incentive to charge and get stuck in, with a punishing overwatch to boot.

I really don't know what to make of them.

naw man, that is just classic grim darkery.

that really isn't ornate. Just detailed. No extra iconography, hazard stripes, no organic daemon shit. Looks like and traitor Iron warrior to me.
>>
>>54453883

They're kinda terminator equivalents?

Cawl is too cheap to make artificer plate or terminator plate, so he just made bulky add on plates to the regular armour. The end result is T5 3+, which is inferior protection in most situations to T4 2+ 5++.

Y'know, kinda like how his Dread design doesn't have a force field, reinforced structure or even good life support: It just relies on raw bulk to keep trucking a little longer.

Do you guys count up or down with wound dice? Personally I count up.
>>
>>54452890
Is it made of cake icing or something?
>>
>>54453897

6 standing still average 114 shots, yes. Math it out yourself if you don't believe me.

Flamers might be the better choice if you intend to either leap out a repulsor or Raven guard deploy with the intent of punching things with the power fists though.
>>
>>54453978
I think having your wound dice indicate the number of remaining wounds makes the most sense, so that you can see at a glance what degrade category a vehicle is in
>>
>>54452949
Hint. Dried blood looks brown, not red.
>>
>>54453960
The weapons of the Redemptor dread also seem kinda lacking. The 12 heavy bolter shot gatling gun is kinda funky, but it can't take two, doesn't even have more attacks than a regular dreadnought, hits on 3+, and has decaying stats. Depending on the points you might be better off taking 2 regular dreads or even venerable dreadnoughts.
>>
>>54453883
I'd say so. They're slower and tougher than regular marines, with a high volume of fairly short-ranged anti-infantry firepower and heavy melee weapons - very, very similar to regular terminators.

One significant difference is that they do not deep strike, which is going to significantly alter how they are used compared to terminators.
>>
>>54453978
Why would you count up? Wound dice is useful to know how many wounds the model has left in order to decide who to shoot at. If you count up you always need to subtract from the total when the opponent asks the number of hp left.
Counting down allows you to remove this additional step and forget about the starting total...
>>
>>54453995

It's also a much better courtesy to your opponent: Let them see how much progress they're achieving.
>>
>>54454005
That blood doesn't look dry to me. It looks like paint and not like blood, but it looks fresh either way.

Asked a day or two again but thought I would ask again with the new IF rules out today: Going to be doing a PURELY Primaris Footslogging army. Just getting into the hobby and house rules are no vehicles right now, just small armies and lots of fun. What chapter currently has the best rules for that? No drop pods too btw. Also, can I use beer bottles as cover?
>>
>>54454006

Boxes are cheap, Contemptors are basically faster, more durable boxes, the Deredeo is a wonderful firebase and good anti-air, the leviathan is a scary centrepiece brick that can put the hurt on essentially any target but pays to do it.

The Redemptor... Is a one-trick anti-infantry pony, with it's durability helping more against small arms fire than the kind of shit it should really be scared of, where an invul would come in handy.

It's sort of... Stack together a quad heavy bolter mortis dread and a twin heavy bolter regular dread into the same body, then shave off a few wounds in return for a D3 shot Skyfire autocannon.

A strange duck, it has one role and it's debatable whether it even does it better than other dreads kitted for anti-infantry.

Hmm... So after a bunch of thought, as a pure dreadnought army list runner, the best use I can think of for a Redemptor is in the old distraction Carnifex role.

That is to say, run it alongside my leviathan and hope people are stupid enough to mess up their target priority shooting the okayish anti-infantry platform instead of the terrifying centrepiece model.

I'd no longer waste points on a transport for them now that they can charge after deep strike and dead transports outright killing a terminator for every 1 you roll. Just take one unit and use one CP to re-roll a charge die if you have to.

If a model takes 3 wounds, then you put a dice set to 3 on it face up, rather than risking cheating by saying a 10 wound model has 8 wounds left.

Stupid question here. I used to love Stern Guard. Made use of 'em all the time. What do they do now that they have no special ammo?

LOL Space Marines Codex has a 1CP stratagem called Death To The Traitors that let's any Space Marine unit ape the CSM special rule in reverse for a turn.

They've got another one called Auspex Scan that basically copies the Taus EWO system so they can shoot stuff out-of-turn that deep strikes near them.

And another one that lets a Vehicle get a 5+ FNP against all mortal wounds for a phase.

The Konor campaign is going to be a facerape.

They don't need it. They have straight up AP -2 bolters with 30" range now, and a Stratagem that gives them +1 to all Wound rolls with their bolters for a turn. That means you would wound even T7 models on a 4+.

I find it interesting that Cawl and Resurrection Gorillaman have basically turned into the Iron Warriors. They pump out as many of these guys as they can. Each squad is armed exactly the same in order to standardize them all for maximum logistical efficiency. They're sent to their deaths with the knowledge that they're all replaceable. Now that they have Aggressors they even basically have Siege Tyrants. All they need now is for the once glory chasing Ultramarine culture to become numbed and embittered by years of grueling, unrelenting warfare.

What happens when the old marines realize that their gene-father considers them a relic of previous time? The old guard is dying and the new marines are little more than battle servitors being sent to die in the mud.

Is it chapter specific? Does It work on regular wounds too? I could super do with something that dials up my leviathan's turn one survivability. Just let it get in range unmolested, it's weapons will do the rest.

I get the impression from the... Weirdness of Primaris units that they really aren't meant to be able to function on their own.
>>
>>54453859
They very a lot with you Chapter tactics I think. White Scars make them pretty great since it's essentially +2 M for them and the "hit and run" is still handy even if they themselves can't shoot after falling back. Ultras are slow, but of course shooting after falling back is great, especially with flamer dudes.

On the Strategem side Sallies and Fists each have their favored Agressors too, and those abilities are good, but I think I'd rather help them get into position. Also the Fist one is a bit weak since Inceptors with Assault Bolters probably do that trick better. Similarly you can get cheeky and deep strike Agressors with Raven Guard, but Inceptors are again probably the better option for that.

>>54454865
Should be pretty good! Yellow is a pain in the ass to paint. Also the new aggressors are gonna be a hit with your new imp fists.

>>54454780
Perturabo and Alpharius (If he or Omegon are still alive) are the only one's who might. Perturabo has basically been totally withdrawn to the point where his Legion went into a civil war and he didn't even acknowledge it. However he likely hates Chaos as he never liked the idea of anyone giving him orders. The Iron Warriors themes are resilience, self sufficiency, and selfless sacrifice (Or senseless slaughter depending on how you look at it). Perturabo embodied all of these traits along with a calculating and scientific mind much like Guilliman, but turned to industrialized warfare instead of empire building. In the end none of these character traits pointing towards someone who would enslave themselves to Chaos.

The Iron Warriors as a whole seem to disdain Chaos. They cut off their mutations, don't deal with Daemons, and remain a scientific group rather than a religious one like most of their fellow traitors. Even if they aren't at all aligned with the Imperium's interests I could see the Iron Warriors smacking Abbadon down if he starts letting daemons take over the galaxy.

You're right on the first.

The odds of running into tanks at 500 points against Chaos or Xenos feels pretty low. I'd only really be fucked with Tau and Eldar transports...

I could drop the Penitent for the Immolator with multi melta, if I lost 10 points somewhere (easy enough.)

See
>>54455063
And yellow is a bitch but just find a good tutorial and follow it to the T.
>>
>>54455063
No, every 6 to hit makes one additional hit roll. You don't shoot the full complement of attacks all over again.

Also Aggressors with Auto Boltstorm Gauntlets only get 6 shots, both Gauntlets are a single combined weapon profile. They get an additional D6 shots from the Fragstorm Launchers but those don't benefit from Bolter drill.

So 3 of them make 18 shots with their bolt weapons, averaging 3 extra shots, for a total of 21. If they stand still to shoot twice, that's 42 shots. Plus 6d6 shots from the launchers, is 63 S4 AP 0 attacks total, with Bolter Drill.

>>54455137

>>
>>54455226
>>54455228
They can be equipped with bolters right? Bolter Drill on these guys sounds hilarious
>>
>>54455171
It's pretty good, but not quite as good as >>54454728 was saying. Still, for only 129 points... I mean that's the same as 10 regular boltgun marines who would get 11.6 shots with Bolter Drill at 24" or around 23 shots at 12".

So at 18" the Aggressors are like 6x better for the points in terms of shitting out raw firepower, AND they have powerfists if things get messy in CC.
>>
>>54455274

In exchange they have 6 T5 3+ wounds which isn't quite 10 T4 3+ wounds, although they're very easy to get cover with

Turns out the generic SM Warlord Traits are strictly better than the ones in the core rules.

There's one that grants re-rolls to charge rolls and +1 attack on the charge, compared to just +1 attack on the charge.

Another that grants +1 Wound and 6+ FnP, compared to just 6+ FnP.

I imagine all of the Codexes will be like this and the core rulebook WL traits will become irrelevant once they're all out.

With marines and such it won't be a huge issue, as it is really hard for them to spam detachments unless you take nothing but scouts and the cheapest HQ. The more impactfull strategems usually are 2 CP, so one maybe two of those and the marines are all spend.

Now Imperial Guard is what I am more worried about, as those fuckers can already easily get 6 CP in a 500 points game without a meme army. Imagine how much CP they can rake in at higher point levels.

With markerlights and for the greater good it would just be disgusting.

Letting you overwatch regardless of how many times you've used for the greater good and regardless of enemy effects for 3 cp sounds less op. Still gross though.

Makes sense, they can't trademark terminator but they can trademark Gravis.

I got 12 bret men at arms NOS... was going to make them stormtroopers for inquisition use.

But... perhaps I should use them as acolytes and not convert them to much? Leave them with their melee weapons as power weapons? and use some spare holstered gun bits for pistols?

Opinions on what do?

The whole score thing is just a front, it's not like GW will actually keep track. They've probably already decided what the results will be and how they want their 'story' to progress, and now just have to keep on pretending winning or losing games matters.

You're in luck, almost all of it will be out in the next week or two.

There are enough Primaris options to make an entirely Primaris Brigade.

It'll only be Astra Militarum, not all Imperium stuff.

See GSC.
>>
>>54455885
>>54455879

Relic Leviathan costs the following:

2x Storm Cannon Array(Keeps flamers): 309
2x Melta Lance(keeps flamers): 359
2x Bombards(keeps flamers): 309
2x Claws(keeps flamers/melta): 353
2x Drills(keeps flamers/melta): 373

probably forgot about the 2x heavy flamers and 2x meltas
as that would put them at 275, 325, 275, 285, 305 respectively

Most of the time people talk about the bullshit that is the stormcannon dread or the bombards dread. If you give me a bit i'll check out the cost of the hellforged one.
>>
>>54456164

What else is coming out besides the stuff they have already announced for a while now?

We know the opening tier Dark Imperium units are coming. Additional Primaris units and customization, we don't know.

For example, Primaris Sanguinary Guards.
>>
>>54455964
we do. we just can't win.

xenos can decide who wins though.
>>
>>54456218
>Primaris Sanguinary Guard


I'M ERECT
>>
>>54456163

>Now Tau can conscript spam too and gain psykers
Oh boy
>>
So I'm thinking of making an all-primaris successor chapter. I'm leaning towards imperial fists, though without heavy bolter devastators to leverage the stratagem maybe not. Raven Guard is an option but my friend already plays them. Any thoughts on the best chapter for primaris? My main army is iron hands, I want to do something different.
>>
>>54456218
After this Chaos, GK and Nurgle are gonna get a codex, so it could very well be a looong while before we see more primaris releases.
>>
>>54456184
a straightcopy of that GSC rule would work and be cool.
>>
>>54456184
I said bullshit, not balanced or fluffy.

>>54456228

>>
>>54456285
>he can be fielded with Shadowsun
>and both get buffs
>>
>>54453187
so do successors get the stratagems of their founding chapter?
>>
>>54456115
I would like to point out that GK model is an old metal model, and that guardian is fucking hunched and half crouching like he's sneaking about. However, Sneaky Beakie helmets on Primaris are fucking goat tier. Holy shit.

I want to see a MKV helmet on one in Carcharodon colors.
>>
>>54456195
Hellforged Leviathan

2x Butcher Cannons(hellflamers): 369
2x Hellforged Siege Claws(melta/hellflamers):353
2x Hellforged Siege Drills(melta/hellflamers):373
2x Bombard(hellflamers):339
2x Soulburner Ribaudkin(hellflamers):349

So every variant of the leviathan is required to take 2x heavy flamers on top of it's already staggering arsenal. I feel sorry for anyone who tries to charge these fuckers.

Thankfully if you're using them as close-range fire support as seems to be their role, the flamers just add to the cost. Fucking disgusting amount of damage to put out against hordes and vehicles though. 20 AP-2 autocannon shots, 2 heavy flamers will just delete hordes even without the bombards that scale with unit size.
>>
>>54456316
Even better pick whatever you want and waac away m8!

With the exception of Black Templars I think.

>"SHIT'S NOT CANON"
I don't think there is a bonus.
>>
>>54456115
they're okay with a non-MK X helmet. can't complain about beakies!

HOWEVER, they look like T5 models. T4 W2 does not seem enough.
>>
>>54456218
>Primaris Sanguinary Guards
probably not. I wager this is all there is.

early on as they where trickling out info on them they mentioned that the arms, shoulders and heads are backwards compatible with marinelet kits and vice versa.

If you want primaris sanguinary guard you'll have to kitbash them.
>>
>>54456369
Wraithguard are significantly larger than primaris.

Also Truescale Eldar when?
>>

>HOWEVER, they look like T5 models. T4 W2 does not seem enough.
Welcome to how all Tyranid players feel about our mid-size bugs.
>>
>>54456115
We only have to wait untill GW makes some new human sculpts for 40k, those will be about as tall as chad marines. Just look at the Sisters of Silence models, that's what you should compare you primarine models to.
>>
>>54456244
Ultra successor. There are plenty to choose from.
>>
>>54456115
I can't fucking wait for bigger berzerkers. I'm gonna buy a shitload of them and make half actual berzerkers while converting the other half into CSM.
>>
>>54456374
So we can make Chadmarines that skip leg day?
>>
>>54456369
But anon, they're not tougher than old marines, only bigger. 2W makes perfect sense.
>>
>>54456369
tyranid warriors are even bigger and still T4 (W3 though)
>>
>>54456390
they're T5 W3 and buff marines are meant to be tougher than eldar
>>
>>54456431
if you want to, sure.
>>
>>54456400
Crimson Fists use the Imperial Fists tactics. I don't think they got a stratagem, but I might have just missed it. They get a Warlord trait though.
>>
Upgrading an Ork to a Boss is free now for most units? There's not a point cost I'm missing?

>>54456438
Wraith guard are fucking soul robots
>>
>>54454472
lol
>>54454506
A great option for marines is to use a gloss wash instead of the flat one. Gloss washes won't stain the flat surfaces the way the matte ones do. If you're left with a little too much shine at the end, just spray with tamiya matt varnish.
>>
>>54456452
Squad Sergeants are free unless they have a cost listed in the index, yes. You get boss nobs with your boys at no additional cost.

>>54453859
How the fuck do you punch anything with those without destroying the flamers?
>>
>>54456477
They use whatever tactics you want since no one has canonically confirmed their progenitors.

Black Templars is most fitting desu. Or maybe even White Scars.
>>
>>54456400
Yeah CF use IF tactics and strategems just with Pedro.

I just got an airbrush for my OC donut steel marines. I want their armor to mostly be a blue grey, like pic related or cobra's navy-ish blues from GIJoe.
Any recommendations for paint?
I think The Fang (but I don't have any to try) might be close from citadels line. I'm unfamiliar with tamiya or Vallejo. Who has best premixed air paints? I currently have regular citadel stuff, I hear using tamiya thinner or a different brand will work fine for airbrushing.

Vindicators are T8, so small arms wound them on 6s. They make for a budget land raider to have sit in a position somewhere.

Auto Boltstorm Gauntlets. A pair is one weapon with a single profile, like Tyranid melee weapons.

>>54456634
No it's not, when one flesh is human and the other is extensively bio-engineered multi-layered carapace laced with metals and minerals, honeycombed with shock absorbing heat insulating gels, covering interwoven hyper-dense muscle fiber that stops bullets like kevlar mesh, on a 12-foot tall creature.

Hell in real life a fucking grizzly bear can take significantly more punishment than you would expect and they aren't genetically engineered living weapons from a super-intelligent alien race.

And as far as 40k is concerned, Ogryns are T5 and should by ALL measures be less resilient than Warriors.
