Do we know anything about Marine Assault Squad options from the codex info that has been sussed out? Is it the same as the Index or did they make some changes?

>>54493605
so how are primaris marines being adjusted into chapters? can a primaris Lt or captain hope to get command of a company? did they train like regular marines?

How does the Thunderfire look now that its been recosted and given a stratagem? Is said strategy any good?

So are any of the new Marine relics any good? Most that I've seen look pretty crappy.

Make your mind up about purestrain point costs already. God fucking dammit.

>>54493973
You just get one per army and they replace a piece of wargear right? How much do they cost? The IH one seemed pretty solid as long as it wasn't dramatically more expensive than a power axe/sword.

>>54493987
Explain. I didn't see anything different when I glanced at the FAQ, did they just take out the part about the lower point cost?

>>54494015
They are now at 15 ppm.
Before that 10.
Before that 18.

>>54494006
If I recall correctly you get one for free, can get one or two more by spending CP

how do I stay motivated to work through my backlog when there are so many exciting new models coming out?

>>54494053
Okay, shit. I'll have to slightly revise my list, but that's fine. I'll probably contact my opponent to agree that this FAQ is what we're fighting with, as far as point costs at least. If they update anything else, we'll only take into account rule clarifications and such.

>>54494085
Oh, well if they're free they can't be that bad, can they? All the weapon relics are pretty huge upgrades over a generic power weapon.

>>54494122
I'm forcing myself to paint up specific amounts of stuff (1000 points, 500 points, whatever) before I'm allowed to buy anything new

>>54494159
my backlog under 7th would have been about 4000 points of assorted imperium with another some 3000 points of assorted old chaos models (80% of which would be stripping and repainting, since I either bought them used or painted them when I was 12)

dunno what it is under 8th. I am thinking I should sell off a lot of old models instead of painting them...

>>54494122
>how do I stay motivated to work through my backlog when there are so many exciting new models coming out?
Force yourself to only work on your old models before touching any new models. I've built 4 Dreadnought, 5 Marines, and am working on knocking together 30 Death Company so I won't feel bad building my new Redemptor.
It's just a matter of willpower anon. Iron within, Iron without brother.
I got 80 IQ/IG models to build but they're staying on the sprue until the codex comes out. Plus I still need to collect a ton of bits for them before I can build them.

oh god I have ten old assault marines but one jump pack went missing

So it seems OOE (who was already good IMO) got a bit of a buff in the new FAQ.
Now he gives himself +1 to hit as well.

>>54493987
10ppm was clearly too cheap.

Basically they realized they fucked up too hard the first time making them way more than Hive Fleet ones after Hive Fleet stealers got all the buffs.

Then they tried to make them the same price but forgot that Hive Fleet stealers have a hidden cost from rending claws that isnt in GSC, so Purestrains ended up cheaper despite getting Cult Ambush.

Now they're in the right spot, I think.

>>54494159
ditto this.

also have children, i have way less disposable income to spend of war dollys now that I'm a father of 2.

>>54494139
If they are free, that would explain the Imperial Fists one.

>>54494267
yeah 15 feels right.

>>54494240
>oh god I have ten old assault marines but one jump pack went missing
I somehow lost the biggest section of track on my first Predator. I still ended up assembling it, but I haven't replaced the bit since luckily no one can see it ingame.
Still irks me though. No idea where it went or even if it came on the sprue in the first place.

>>54494228
Nice. What's your list? What was the opponent running?

>>54494255
Yeah they finally fixed that bullshit. Also he affect Stonecrushers now, which was my last reservation about fielding them. Time to get like 3 of those suckers now and actually have a fair chance of one-shotting Rhinos on the charge.

Does anyone have the fonts for the rulebook? They are DRM mangled and I can't find a way to unmangle them.

>>54494296
Personally I would have split the difference and gone with 14ppm but that could be my bias speaking.

I'd really like to see Acolytes/Metamorphs get a points cut and Metamorphs weapons fixed now so it doesn't feel like a waste of time to field them.

What point levels do you guys play?

Kinda want to have an endgoal.

>>54494349
It used to be that 1850 was the standard. New standard game is 2000, with 1000 being a "small" game and 1500 being a medium game.

Orks op please nerf

I kind of with power levels were more accepted with unit upgrades better factored into them.

>>54494345
eh. on their own that'd probably be fine. but they csn get some good support.

I've been doing horrific thins ambushing 20 with a primus for the reroll and a near by magus for might from beyond.
5 S5 attacks each.

>>54494378
They are. It's called Points and has been around for decades.

>>54494294
It probably means that any relic beyond the first will cost a CP to prevent relics spam

Why is there a new 40kg when the old one hasn't even reached 200

We got any clue as to the new codexes past the Death Guard?

>>54494349
1500 or 2000 is what most games I've seen have been at. 2000 is what you might consider a "full" army, 1500 is sort of a medium/quicker game, and 1000 is a very quick game (with a greater potential for weird balance mismatches if either player techs their list in a weird direction).

>>54494349
1000 is the minimum for good games, although I probably wouldn't play below 1200.

1500 is a totally acceptable limit.

2000 is tournament level standard.

More than that isn't really necessary unless you're just trying to expand your collection to have different options, or the occasional Apocalypse game every few months.

>>54494387
the points are all over the place and every little upgrade is separate and a giant mess

What I mean is if they tune power levels assuming people will take a certain amount of upgrades, essentially baking in the cost of upgrades. This would streamline list building a lot while also addressing the reason a lot of people refuse to play power levels even in casual games ("but waac players can break the game with it and I don't know how to refuse games with waac players")

One of the things I like most about AoS list building is how quick it is to put lists together while also having the same amount of depth. Turns out, it doesn't actually matter if you give your character a bolt pistol or a whatever and having bookeeping around that just wastes time. Your choice of units matters so much more and is really the heart of the list.

wait, you meant play level right? 1500 to 2k is common while 50 power pops up often

>>54494458
that's what they did. powerlevel assumes upgrades have been taken.

>>54494382
>5 S5 attacks each.
How are you getting 5 attacks?

2 base for Acolytes +1 from Cultist knife +1 from Might From Beyond

or 3 base from Metamorphs +1 from Might From Beyond

??

>>54494496
then why do people complain about it? are they just unable to let go of points?

>>54494421
Tyranids, Orks and Astra Militarum are all very likely contenders to be in the next batch of 4

In fact if at least two of those aren't in the next 4 books I'll eat my shirt.

>>54494514
Because power levels are still shitty and inaccurate and fuck you over if you don't take enough of the "right" upgrades or are still too lenient if you max out on all the best upgrades.

Even GW uses points in their live games. Power level is a meme for young kids just being taught to play or friends just shitting around with non-serious games full of houserules and shit.

The only time you should play power levels is when using the Open War cards and not trying to match up your levels with the opponent whatsoever, the lower one just gets a bonus.

If you're trying to have an even game you don't match up equal power levels, that's completely devoid of the point of them to begin with. Points are for that.

>>54494514
People can't let go of a good thing. Powerlevel is a shit concept for a game modular as this.

Guys...

>>54494498
I'm doing it with genestealers.
3 base +1 for 10+ minis in unit and +1 for might.

>>54494514
Power Levels just aren't balanced. Like, at all. They're there for people that want to throw together small games very quickly right out of the box.

Note that the FAQs aren't really adjusting PL, but they're tweaking and fine-tuning points quite a bit. Points are where the actual balance of the game lies.

As an exercise to demonstrate this make a decent Astra Militarum army and a decent Space Marine army, all the goods, at the same power level. Then convert that into points. The point cost - what the armies are actually balanced around - will not be even remotely fucking close.

Unit upgrades can mean a lot, especially for units that get to take a lot of them. When you get them for free it creates huge problems. It really just comes down to that. PL works in a system without customization, but 40k is a system with a lot of customization and we wouldn't really have it any other way.

>>54494573
Oh right right, I thought you were commenting on the Acolyte/Metamorph thing. Cuz those are still kind of bad this edition.

>>54493605
Wow, this is the first passable piece of 8th art I've seen.

>>54494619
The starter set box arts are fine.

>>54494517
I can see IG, unsure of the xenos as GW has expressed they're taking a back seat for a bit.

>>54494692
They're taking a backseat in model releases, but that doesn't mean they won't get Codexes soon. Not to mention IMPERIUM/CHAOS/IMPERIUM/CHAOS for the first four is already Xenos taking a backseat.

>>54494692
they've said were getting 10 codexs by the end of the year.
xenos may be taking a backseat fr the narrative but the major xenos factions seems likely especially us getting so many. Are there even 10 imperial codexs at all?


though i can also see them pushing nids and orks to next year for an octarius war focused campaign and such.

>>54494592
yeah sorry, should have been clearer.

i was basically saying I think the purestrain stealers are worth that bit extra because of the support they can (and in practice will) get.

>>54494745
>octarius war focused campaign
All the old pre-8th narratives are being cut short and glazed over so they can write new ones. There almost definitely won't be an Octarius War campaign or it would have been one of the Warzones mentioned already.

There will be some shit going down on Armageddon though.

>>54494745
>Are there even 10 imperial codexs at all?
Well, let's count.
Codex Marines
Deathwatch (might not be their own book unless they get more shit)
Grey Knights
Blood Angels
Dark Angels
Space Wolves
Astra Militarum
Adeptus Mechanicus
Talons of the Emperor (probably won't be their own book)
Adeptus Ministorum
Questoris Knights
Inquisition (probably won't be their own book)
Astra Telepathica (probably will be in the guard book)

Granted, they may merge some of this into one "agents" book again, since a few of the imperial factions are pretty small.

>>54494745
That's my thought entirely.

SM, AdMech, IG, Inq, AdMin, That's five, but who am I kidding about that last one.

>>54494828
Deathwatch will get their own book, but not for quite awhile. Update priority is mainly aiming for oldest to newest, so Deathwatch, Imperial Agents and such are at the end of the line.

>>54494228
does that mean that i got lucky that my admech werent tabled in 5 turns to a giant horde of orks with one trukk with tankbustas and 3 deff koptas, still lost the match, it was kill points and he had 7 points to 5

Scitarii

Shoot them off the table with bio-plasma or ram a Carnifex up their ass.

>>54494870
Well, I'm an Assault Centurion, so I guess me and my mates have a talk with those guys.

>>54494900
Questoris Knights = Imperial Knights. I can't remember exactly what they're named in the index but it's something like that.

Skitarii are no longer their own faction. They got rolled into AdMech as they should have been from the start.

>>54494572
You do know that /tg/ started because old /b/ used to have multiple threads for warhammer on Warhammer Wednesdays and moot got tired of whiners and started /tg/?

Our group balanced power levels with WYSIWYG.

>>54494989
The true way of Power Points that noone can seem to get there head around.

Ironclads: is there a point to having the DCCW when you have a Chainfist or Seismic Hammer? The Hurricane Bolter seems like the more obvious choice in this edition.

>>54494989
>>54495172
That doesn't fix anything though. My group has always played WYSIWYG with points too.

>>54494989
>>54495172
That doesn't do fuck-all. People will just model their shit with every possible upgrade.

>>54495230
it does. it stops poeple going crazy and taking all the upgrades possible.
they have to run the more moderate setup they assembled the minis as for points

>dark angels list
>battalion detachment
6 pl - libby
5 pl - captain with ppistol and psword
6 pl - scouts with shitguns
6 pl - scouts with CCW
9 pl - tac squad with ppistiol, pcannon, and pgun
4 pl - rhino with missile launcher
7 pl - dev squad with 4 ML
7 pl - dev squad with 4 ML

50 power

I'd calculate the points but it is late and I am tired, and it would probably take me an hour to flip back and forth to add it all up.

so... why exactly do scouts have a higher PL cost than tacticals?

IMHO the answer to the following is that it is yes, RaW. Still thought I would ask it here to be debated in classic 4chan fashion.

When rolling to hit for overwatch, do modifiers still apply and cause additional effects to happen if they cause the dice roll to actually be that result, despite not mattering for determining whether it hit or not?

For example, an Extremely Loyal And Not In Any Way Traitorous Space Marine In Suspicious Black Armour who has a Combi-Plasma is charged by, I dunno, a Gretchin. He decides to be Extremely Loyal and fire both the Bolter profile and the Supercharge Plasma profile in overwatch. Now, let's say he rolls a 2 to hit for a Plasma shot. The rules for overwatch say it "uses all the normal rules" for shooting "except that a 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model’s Ballistic Skill or any modifiers." Nowhere does it say those modifiers don't still apply. Thus, the rules for the Combi-Plasma kick in, giving the hit roll a -1, thus causing a roll of 1 to hit to cause the model to be slain. (The above example also works with a regular Plasma and something with a permanent -1 to hit like a MV5 Stealth Drone).

Likewise, if some bonus somehow gave a +1 to hit to Lord Kaldor "We shall provide the hams" Draigo (I couldn't find such an effect, yet, and there may be some come new codexes for all we know) and he decides to use a Psyk-out grenade for overwatch against, say, Magnus the Red, gets 1 attack on the D3 and then rolls a 5 to hit. The rule for the grenade says "Each time you roll a hit roll of 6+ for this weapon when targeting a Psyker or Daemon, the target suffers a mortal wound instead of the normal damage." Since he has a +1 to hit, he has a final roll of 6, even though the rules for overwatch say that it misses, the rules for the grenade itself don't care if the hit actually hits or not, just that a 6+ was rolled, thus it would cause a moral wound.

>>54495429
On a more specific note, the Necron Tesla weapons have the ability "Each hit roll of 6+ with this weapon causes 3 hits instead of 1." Once again this doesn't actually care if the shot hits, only that a 6+ was rolled. When combined with an Overlords +1 to hit aura, does rolling a 5+ when firing overwatch cause 3 hits on the enemy unit, even though it's normally a miss because of the overwatch rules.

This/these question/s is popping up everywhere.

(official FAQ)

Q: If an ability instructs me to resolve an attack with a different
characteristic (e.g. a Culexus Assassin’s Etherium ability) does
this happen before or after any other modifiers that also apply to
that characteristic (e.g. the Drukhari Serpentin Combat Drug)?

A: When resolving such an attack, change the relevant
characteristic to the new value before applying any
modifiers to that new value.

"In the example above, the Weapon Skill of the model
attacking a Culexus Assassin is treated as being 6+
because of the Etherium ability, but the Serpentin then
boosts it to 5+. "

Doesn't matter.

Can I combine units from the index and a codex into one army?
The datasheets in the new codexes overwrite the same datasheets in the index books. You can certainly use units with updated datasheets alongside units from the index that have yet to be updated. Once a unit has been covered in the codex though, we assume you’re using the latest version.

>>54495618
You can still use the index for units not in the codex. It's GW doing the "no model no rules" stance because of Chapterhouse.

Yes, you can https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/05/codexes-your-questions-answered-july-5gw-homepage-post-2/

>There are a few options that are missing in the codex that appear in the index: why is that? Does that mean I can’t use these models in my army anymore?
While the indexes are designed to cover a long history of miniatures, the codexes are designed to give you rules for the current Warhammer 40,000 range. There are a few options in the indexes for some Characters and vehicles that are no longer represented in the Citadel range – certain Dreadnought weapons that don’t come in the box, or some characters on bikes, for example.
Don’t worry though, you can still use all of these in your games if you have these older models. In these instances, use the datasheet from the index, and the most recent points published for that model and its weapons (currently, also in the index).
They still gain all the army wide-bonuses for things like Chapter Tactics and can use Space Marines Stratagems and the like, so such venerable heroes still fit right in with the rest of your army.

>Can I combine units from the index and a codex into one army?
The datasheets in the new codexes overwrite the same datasheets in the index books. You can certainly use units with updated datasheets alongside units from the index that have yet to be updated. Once a unit has been covered in the codex though, we assume you’re using the latest version.

Conscripts+Stormravens already solves the flyer problem.

The problem was that players were taking nothing but flyers and abusing all the rules they get to ignore in order to win matches. Taking a mixture of infantry and flyers is the game working as intended.

Sadly it seems like its dead and all they're going to be focusing for a while is 8th. They're really taking their sweet ass time releasing shit for 8th edition though.

I'm new, and while I'd like to go with some Chaos marines I see many cool ultra marines that I'd like to have at least one faction.

Old 3rd edition Dark Eldar, haven't played them since though.

Small imperial guard force I mostly just use to supplement my other armies.

Sisters of battle, which was my main army for so damn long but I needed a change.

New mechanicus army I started with 8th, they seem like a lot of fun but I need some melee, I don't wanna be a ranged only army. Thinking of some rustwalkers and dragoons since I love the models.

>>54495912
It's fine for beginners but it's going to be a steep learning curve. It's also literally physically painful to own DE because the models actually stab you.

Your best bet is to read up the 1d4chan and DakkaDakka tactica pages.

>>54495912
They're fairly unforgiving of mistakes yes, but 40k isn't so complex that you can't start and learn to succeed with any army. DE are good and if you like them I'd say go for it.

>>54495915
Electropriests are what everyone swears by for AdMech melee atm but I personally run Dragoons and I love them. They shred light infantry and otherwise act as a great distraction with their -1 to shooting attacks against them.

They're the new WAAC race what do you expect?

You're just tau now.

>>54495927
Thats good to hear, dragoons just look so damn rad! I can't into electro-clowns, the models are just too hideous.

>>54495956
Kastelan Robots are also pretty viable for melee since they hit hard and can fight twice in a phase.

>We are told that Celestine is no match for Abaddon even with her powers. Abaddon casts her down to the ground with a humiliating bitchslap. Would have fed her to Drach'nyen if it wasn't for Creed and Grayfax

>Kharn charges Celestine and it's said that she fought him with all her skill and might. Kharn overpowers her with his brute strength. Smashing his axe repeatedly against her guard until her arms got numb from the punishment and her sword fell to the floor allowing Kharn to behead her in one swift blow

This pretty much confirms that GW hates the Sisters of Battle. Why else would they have Celestine be the chewtoy for the heretics? I sincerely believe that if Celestine was replaced with a space marine captain, then those humiliating defeats wouldn't have happened. It boggles the mind how Celestine, being said to be the greatest of the SoBs and an avatar of the Emperor, can be defeated so easily. Is it fucking sexism? No woman can beat those big badass dudes in a fair fight? To think I was glad that they brought her back. Now I wish they hadn't if they just want to treat her that way while the other Imperial male heroes get to be untouched and victorious.

>>54495948
Honestly it seems like Fate is going to just flat out be decided in Chaos's favor. Pretty much every Xenos will be on their side for the event and pretty much every Xenos race has some broken unit. While imperium is winning tournaments, Xenos are dominating the actual games.

Guardsmen literally throwing themselves at Abaddon to protect Celestine was still one of my favorite parts in the book.

>>54496044
That's would have lessened the pain if they didn't add something stupid in Gathering Storm. Each time Celestine she loses a portion of her soul which breaks off into the Warp to be eaten by daemons. She has a limited number of lives and it seems that they aren't many left. Why would they write this if not to twist the knife in SoB fans? Sister ryona is all the rage these days at GW HQ? It doesn't make sense even. The Emperor can bring her back to life but somehow can't protect her soul? Why does her soul even break up like that? This is just bad writing for the sake of fake drama. I hate it.

>>54496065
It's damseling Celestine to make the guardsmen look good. It's obnoxious, imo.

From gameplay so far it seems like Guard are good against infantry spam but shit against pretty much everything else. The problem is their lack of AP on pretty much everything. The chances of wounding are super low, and then the enemy gets their normal save on top of it. Facing any army with a decent save/toughness? Prepare to get your shit kicked in.

>>54495207
Hurricane bolter gives about the same average damage as reroll 1 to a chainfist. I could easily see going for the more consistent option since the melee matters a lot more.

>>54496179

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
Conscripts win trades against pretty much anything short of a stormraven or LRC, and even then, it's fairly close.

if all the xeno races would ally against the Imperium who would win ?

>>54495207

You have to pay for the DCCW either way, it's baked into the base cost of the model.

>>54496237
Its just guns and the repulsor field. PotMS and auto launchers are standard stuff.

>>54495701
50 conscripts still die to shooting easily and get you tabled, 100 conscripts is a significant tax.

>>54496237
It's just different weapon profiles

The only unique rule is the Repulsor Field.

I think I'll end up with a lot of ones just because they look cool and I enjoy the assembly.

How do CSM resupply their lines? Are the traitor legion marines "respawned" from the warp after they are killed by mary sues or do the legions have a recruiting and gene seeding system?

Hello.

>>54496354
hi who are you?

>>54496082
Have you not read like ANY fluff? Most Imperial factions have some kind of pronouncement of doom going on. Admech has the Dragon under Mars and their inability to into teamwork, Bangles have the Rage and Thirst and until recently a whole bunch of Nids, Inquisition has infighting, Guard HAD Cadia being about to fall but that was pretty speedily resolved. And you're complaining that your faction flaw is one single human possibly maybe dying at some nebulous point in the future?

I'm not particularly surprised that the leader of Chaos Undivided and someone who's basically the God of War incarnate (or reasonably close, anyway) manages to take Celestine down, especially with how much GW likes wanking Marines, and Marine snowflake characters in particular. An Archmagos or Necron Overlord or something similarly smashy from another faction would probably fare no better.

>>54495994
Consider that a lot of stuff just got far more efficient against 2+/3++ than before
in 7th, you'd need to hitting such models with AP2 to reduce them to their 'lesser' save. Now Autocannons are more cost-effective against such enemies than Plasma cannons.

>>54496702
Fine, since you seem to be nice about it. Done in shooting phase, officer has to be within 6'', used to be done at the start but now can be done whenever. Select officer, select squad, select order no roll, they succeed automatically now. Orders went from ok to amazing.

Voxes mean your officer has to be within 3'' of one and the receiving squad also have a vox. Generally not worth it though, just get more officers since they are great to have.

>>54496696
So a 6 plasmas, a plasma pistol, and two hotshots ON OVERCHARGE, within 9" of someone's flank, hitting on 3+, rerolling ones sounds bad to you?
Im just making sure I get how bad you are this morning.

i played guard since 4th edition. doesn't mean i have all the models for guard

>>54496703
you're right
we do have the best infantry squads.
10 S6 Ap-1 Dd3 shots and 20 S3 Ap0 D1 at 6" or 20+10d6 (55 on average) S3 Ap0 shots is pretty good for 50 points with orders isn't it?

>>54496686

Well, lootenant is how everyone who isn't the British army pronounce it, but GW is a British company... So it's impossible to say.

Despite GW being British, that pronunciation would probably die out in the distant future due to the much lower number of people using it.

That said, high and low gothic are canonically completely unrecognisable languages only represented as dog Latin and English for convenience, so it'll actually be neither. Since it won't be the actual word the characters are using and only a representation, lootenant and leftenant are ultimately equally valid.

>>54496717
I'm not bothering with vox this edition as yeah it seemed pretty bad, though what orders are good and when go I use them.
I get
"Move and Fire" - All (infantry) weapons become assault, RAW apparently lets you throw grenades and shoot as others have said
and
"Hold the Line" - ignore <infantry) casualties until start of next movement phase
other orders are the same afaik

So I have a plan

Kharn
Apostle
Hordes of cultists backed up by berzerkers
Helbrutes with power fists, meltaguns
Kytan
Maybe a bloodthirster

Could it work?

>>54496737
Then put the melta guns in a Valkyrie, jump out 3" away from the enemy, insert meltas into ass.

>>54496737
It's not for extra hits you mong. It's for safe overcharge so you can vaporize whoever is holding the real estate you just stole. I've won alot of games so far by using the command squad to paste some dudes then ordering the regular troops to move+D6 to the objective/cover I dropped 9" away from.

>>54496730

The actual word is Squibox, which Ultramar pronounce Squayboixe and everyone else pronunces Squeebook.

>>54496744
Get Back in the Fight! Makes the game a nightmare for melee armies, just layer squads you don't care about in front and retreat-fire your way across the board. Note that you don't have to retreat far, 1.5'' is enough and means the enemy doesn't gain any ground while still getting shot.

Take Aim! For anything with Plasma. Fairy obvious.

Bring it Down! For flamer units or

First Rank Fire! Use this for your troopers when they are out of grenade range, they are quite shooty with it.

Move Move Move! 12'' + 2d6'' of movement. Means a normal squad of infantry can move 19'' on average if they want. Great for objectives.

I'm not even touching my Tau until they get their codex at this point: The index list is an incoherent mess where nearly nothing works the way it should.

Honestly the only thing stopping you from using all the bits is a lack of bodies. If you could get 5 more cheap off eBay the value of an already radical box would triple.

>>54496891
You're going to be waiting awhile. Xenos are getting updated in order of who was updated the longest time ago.

So
Tyranids
Orks
Dark Eldar
Necrons
Eldar
THEN Tau

>>54496894
Well what do you expect when I have two Basilisk, a Manticore, a Wyvern, a void missile silo and 6 mortar teams?

Its not uncommon for GW kits to give a big surplus of 1 or 2 bits, the gaunt kit comes with 36 guns for 12 minis for example.

>>54496894
You got a source for that statistic?

I think people are not playing with enough LoS blocking terrain.

I agree but not for the same reasons.
In my opinion without objectives, warlord traits, or tactics I feel like the game is lackluster.
I have high hopes though because the SM codex looks fucking awesome!

The Terrain thing is likely true as having terrain is very good for the weaker army because it solves most of the issues associated with gun lining

>>54496898
The kit is already relatively cheap for a GW kit so second hand ones on ebay shouldnt be that expensive

OK jokes aside, i seriously need an answer to this. what the hell is that gun?

>>54496932
They'll wrap it up in three paragraphs in the Ork or Nid Codex, whichever comes first, just like they did the invasion of Baal. You're deluded if you think GW cares about making a Xenos vs Xenos campaign.

>>54496912

I could netlist to victory right now, I have more than enough crisis suits to run the commander proxy spam shitty tourneyfags moved over to.

Tier is irrelevant, I'm just not touching the faction whilst it's a mishandled trainwreck. I'd much rather have them be the weakest army in the entire game but have a coherent codex than play them as they stand.

The things that just got nerfed by having their points doubled?

>>54496945
He said it was a converted shotgun

Trying to catch up with what's been going on in 8th edition. I was bumming around 1d4chan when it mentioned that gorillaman spoke with the emperor and divulged some of the details of their conversation. I read that section in the gathering storm book but it just mentions he went in then came out later. Did the details of their discussion actually get revealed in another book, or is 1d4chan just full of shit?

I'd honestly rather they wait longer so as to have a better appreciation for how much of a clusterfuck they made of the index tau.

>>54494745
WH40k community news mentioned Grey Knights being next. After that apparently Chaos and Death Guard. Maybe the next 5 will be Xenos...

Who am I kidding, it's wolfs, dark angels, blood angels, inquisiton and admech for the rest of the year.

>>54497014
As long as they still have Vetock in the house.

>>54496990
Nah, whole thing kept mysterious
That's how they play the Emperor now
Surprised they even started letting writers have him in full conversations in HH

>>54497002
>most played xenos codex
lmao citation needed right back at you

But more importantly, they already said armies are getting prioritized in order of oldest armies first, and then proved it with Chaos Space Marines coming next. Tau was one of the last armies of 7th edition, it will be one of the last to be updated in 8th. No one gives a shit about how popular you think you are, you get outsold by any individual Space Marine Chapter just like all the rest.

Do imperial guard have any canon soft transports?

>>54496918
>I think people are not playing with enough LoS blocking terrain.

They do, and that's half the problem. Armies like >>54496911 only go mega-crazy with dense terrain turning the shit up to eleven.

160 S5 shots rerolling 1's at 18'' with 40 firewarriors, ethereal, fireblade and a pulse drone. And they all overwatch if anyone gets charged. Just over 400 points.

i read here something about how guilleman was looking forward to talking to his father, but the emperor reguarded him as a 'useful tool, once lost, now found again' and he's now having daddy issues

Saved another angle from WIP. He just cut the barrel down, snipped the stock guard and reattatched it as a pump.
Is your imagination broken? From the initial angle the only thing different from a Lasgun is no lens on the end.

>>54497041
Unarmored ones that aren't meant for combat.

>>54497016
It's not because they need time to release models for a bunch of those. They're never going to release Dark Angels/Blood Angels/Space Wolves back to back to back, that's a retarded business strategy that isn't feasible to produce for and can very well lose them money. They space them out every edition for a reason.

>>54497041
Salamander? It's a scout transport built for speed?

"Hey guys want guard to not be shit? Just spend $3000 on ForgeWorld and superheavies."

>>54497037
Thing is people don't play tau for strike teams, they're boring. People play tau for suits or vehicles/flyers. Some people enjoy strike teams but they are in a minority (such as myself) and most people played 7th for riptide spam so it's not really surpring

>>54497052
Salamander, kinda. It's like an open topped Chimera built more for city zooming and officer recon

>>54497030
>prioritized in order of oldest armies first
Tfw you play an army released in 2015. Guess it's time to hunker down and wait. Maybe Fires of Cyraxus will come out some time before then to actually give me something new to use.

Didn't change shit. Was a meme in 7th, but 8th. Have you not read the book?

Are you retarded?

>>54497105
Yes.
Which is why they will never be top tier. GW isn't giving the good shit to people who son have to buy everything from them. The current index will be nerfed into oblivion once they get their codex.

>>54497078
Still waiting on that hard proof of sales figures which you don't have

The only thing Tau have been selling in great amounts this edition are shitty unpainted Riptides on eBay after 8th dropped the balancehammer

>>54497118
I wasn't concerned with rules, I was just curious if they had any particular examples.

>>54496444

Extra shot within half range means you'll have to scuttle your overcosted guardsmen to dangerously close to the enemy, most of the drones will be shot down with stray boltguns while that is happening and the ethereal requires you to not move for the Storm of Fire.
It's a good trick I'll give you that but it also as telegraphed as possible so you opponent has to be a retard (marine or ork player usually) to fall for that. Also I'm not sure you'll get 2x shots. It's quality GW rules writing but in previous editions it meant you get single extra attack per gun. But if you are correct then holy shit gun drones got even more ridiculous.
>don't mind me just dumping 8 s5 shots for 8 points

GW stocks are WAY higher than they were on the release of 6th and 7th editions. Is GeeDubz back baebee?

>>54497002
>most played xenos codex
Tournament attendance has Tyranids as the most played Xenos faction, actually. Stop being so transparently butthurt that you make shit up, it's embarrassing.

So Psi-titans and Librarian dreadnoughts are a thing.

I wouldn't move, I'd just anchor a vital part of the board with it and so cheaply. Drones are so small too they can be hid out of sight and still buff.

For the record I think Pathfinders are also amazing as well.

Why is GW shilling predators? They're awful.
