Some random member of the group Magnus didn't kill before going down, probably Fulgrim, Angron, Russ, Sanguinius or Horus, comes out of the brawl battered and bruised, then faces down Vulkan at which point Corax reappears and shivs whoever was winning.

Corax and Vulkan then acknowledge neither Can kill the other, and declare a draw

Then devs are definitely a good option, as are sterngaurd or termies, for all those bolter shots. You'll also want some good melee units, I'd suggest either Ass cents or TH+SS termies, sine their both good and fluffy for the fists

Also, konor will not fall

>Strange is it not, that so many I wish beside me stand against me, while at my back are only the flawed and damaged. I am a master of broken monsters… I cannot control them or their sons, and they know it… They all know that this war is no longer something that can be guided, only ridden out. But they never understood me, not truly, and they understand less with each passing second. They doubt. They think that I have lost my way. I can see it in their hearts — the pettiness, the pride, the seeds of ruin driving them on, feeding the tempest. With such creatures must I remake the future!”

No. Renegade Guard are Forge World. Renegade Space Marines will be Games Workshop.

Also, Guard conscript spam needs nerfed a little, but other than that they aren't really that overpowered. Hopefully GW realizes this and doesn't completely fuck them over with a bum codex like in 7th.

So based on the leaks, it seems Emperor's Children are pretty much trash, being just above Word Bearers, and World Eaters giving Zerkers +1A and 3 fight phases should put them into the top tier of CSM.

Slaanesh appears to be getting the "we'll pay you less and less until you stop showing up" treatment.

some context: i have a set of deepstrikers who can bring the pain (GC devs + Kantor + terminators) but I need to soften up enemy mech before I come down. the backfield units have the dual purpose of doing either that and/or advancing midfield. combi-plasma might be useful in threatening advancing forces, particularly skimmers.

i agree that a full unit that reaches my backline means trouble but if the unit has been weakened when it arrives there (or by the first tactical squad), a power axe can make a difference.

that's why I am unsure whether to keep the sarge as cheap as possible or whether an upgrade might be worth it. (conversely, a combi-plasma means deploying as far forward as possible to cover the mdifield with it, exposing the unit potentially to more enemy fire)

it's really hard to tell for me if it's useful or not.

FW really fucked up with Renegades. Before their WHOLE shtick was having units at base that were worse than the Guard equivalent, but 1000x more customizable. Now they cut the customization so Ren are just left with the shit units. Basically the only reason to take them is if you want a Baneblade in your Chaos army.

GW did have the Lost and the Damned list back in the day for traitor Guard. They could very well do some list like that. Not in Codex: CSM, of course.

Release a cultist kit with some options, use the poxwalkers, tzaangor and other units in it. And make a GSC type sprue for Guard. It doesn't have to be an extensive list, just a GSC style thing, but for Chaos.

Seeing that GW has been working on smaller forces, like Genestealer Cultists, there's no definitive way of saying "they'll never do Chaos Guard codex." Not anytime soon, that's fucking sure. They'll be reworking their existing codexes into 8e for some time.

You can choose any two of the random-ass units I spit out and win against any non-ig "allcommer" index list on the planet.

In the realm of index armies IG is "good" when you try hard to lose and "OP" when you're picking good units and spamming them with a few blobs.

If I'm reading this correctly, to get the stratagem you need a "space marine" detachment, so presumably a mixed one doesn't count. But seems that if you meet the criteria for chapter tactics, you'll get the stratagems too.

Warlord traits just require the warlord to be a space marine, amazingly enough. Relics require your warlord to be a space marine (so I think a marine detachment in an army with an IG warlord, say, couldn't take a marine relic).

Chaos Guard is not, NOT, FW specific stuff. They do not have any claim to it. Just like with Genestealer Cults, GW has made rules for them before and there's nothing, NOTHING, preventing them from making rules for them again in the future. We already got rules for Genestealer Cultists and Harlequins, who factions that previously have had WD published rules pamphlets.

>>54645193
>GW won't release FW specific stuff this decade.

They probably view it as the only way to really influence the event in one way or the other. Otherwise Imperium would win anyways.

Highly unlikely. If they did it would probably be something equivalent to the GSC Brood Brothers rule.

Depends on the race. Orks and DEldar don't care which side wins - the Orks want a good fight and the DEldar are likely just coming in and taking whatever's not bolted down before leaving.

I try to assemble and paint asap. I mean, I don't have anything else to do rn outside of work. So I just wanna get shit done asap. I love doing it too, so that helps.

This is one of my DG models for my warband that I got splitting Know No Fear with a friend. I feel like I'm bad at taking pics of minis still.

I would guess its done by brush, judging by the paint blotches on the base.

Alright hear me out. I really want to play Deathwatch because it looks really fun and x-com like to me but I don't really fuck with them. So I was thinking about homebrewing my chapter.
Since I already play Ordo Malleus Inquisition, I was thinking about how DW was founded by the Inquisition to fight Xenos and so they're really close.
Well, Koorland was pretty close to the Inq during the coup so I thought the Ordo Malleus might have gotten a chapter too, but instead of gathering starts from everywhere, they started from Imperial Fists geneseed. I don't really want them to be too much of a special snowflake, would this be too much? Would I look like some edgy kid with super powerful marines with no background?

Just go with Grey Knights, they're already Ordo Malleus space marines.

Other than that, just have a chapter of hard fighting imperial fist successors that do well against daemons, so they have good ties with the Inquisition.

Kinda like the Exorcists.
>>
>>54645596
I'd say that other anon doesn't see the value 170 for 90x S6 AP-1, 10x S5 AP0 attacks with only 10 models for some reason. This is on the charge so the 2 fights base +bonus fight stratagem all go before any other combatants. First strikers alternate in after the first charge.

You could cheese the list by buffing them with a sorcerer or lord, but then you're putting too many points into it. It's really powerful.
>>
>>54645618
You get a smoother result if you use an airbrush, but it's totally possible with a brush. If you want to keep the metal a bit shinier, substitute watered-down gemstone colours (Soulstone Blue and Waystone Green) for the glazes.
>>
>>54645682
I don't really like grey knights either.. I mean I do but on the tabletop I always prefer to have my own chapters, clan and whatever, idk why. But yeah your idea is nice too, I like it.


Oh well, dubs choose the chapter's name.

Sounds pretty snowflake to me. Also, the Ordo Malleus did get a chapter: Grey Knights.

So I was fucking around with the idea of a dreadnought army, but apart from picking what I think looks cool I've not much input on how good a job it'd do. Any particularly glaring issues or modifications that could be done with is? Also, Is the Mad Cat's autocannons one weapon or two seperate ones?

SPEARHEAD DETACHMENT
Ven. Chaplain Dreadnought with Inferno Cannon and CCW/bolter = 197pts
Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought with twin multi-Meltas = 160pts
Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought with twin multi-Meltas = 160pts
Leviethan Dreadnought with two Grav-flux Bombards = 309pts
VANGUARD DETACHMENT
Techmarine with Conversion Beamer and Power Maul = 69pts
Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres Assault Cannon and CCW/Bolter = 165pts
Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres Assault Cannon and CCW/Bolter = 165pts
Ironclad Dreadnought with Hurricane Bolter, Chainfist and Assault Launchers = 147pts
Redemptor Dreadnought with Onslaught Gatling Cannons = 198pts
Redemptor Dreadnought with Onslaught Gatling Cannons = 198pts
Relic Deredeo Dreadnought with Autocannon battery, missile launcher = 232pts
>>
>>54645652
Nobody cares or wants to hear about this kind of dumb crap. Ever. The probability of you ever even having a conversation with another player about the lore of your custom chapter is low and the shit you came up with would just make them cringe anyway.

If you want to do an unusual paint job that's great, but giving excessive thought to making up special snowflake lore that is totally irrelevant to everyone is pointless.
>>
>>54645748
Yeah dude idk how to explain it and I swear to god that makes me look REALLY autistic but I can't play marines if they're not a chapter made up by me. Playing an already existing chapter pretty much forces me to paint it with his right colors and even if I wanted to play pure Deathwatch I'd have to play marines from already existing chapters.
That's really all there is, I want my own chapter to field alongside my inquisition/scions and both DW and GK aren't customizable enough for me.

>>54645776
Eh, I have no idea where you play but at our store there's definitely some people who like to write down their own fluff. Not that common and won't probably tell this shit to someone I meet at a tournament but between friends there's nothing wrong with having some bg written for your dudes.
>>
>>54645761
All the Primaris shit should be in the codex, unless they keep putting out new models that come with their own data sheets.

It'll probably be more Imperial stuff, so everything that isn't space marines and maybe Custodes and Sisters thrown in to balance it out with them being so small.

Then we'll move onto the next important faction, Eldar.

Are nids super expensive to start playing? Ever since I heard about 40k, I loved the bugs. Now that I can actually afford the game ($200 cad), and nids aren't appearantly god awful, I'm tempted to start with either them are dark eldar (another old favorite)
>>
>>54645779
I sort of get what you mean, but
>if I wanted to play pure Deathwatch I'd have to play marines from already existing chapters.
is wrong, you could have deathwatch marines from custom chapters.

But anyway its your choice at the end of the day.

You are sounding nuts though.
>>
>>54645812
Depends on if you want to have a large amount of tiny guys, which works great, or giant bugs.
>>
>>54645779
I was tossing around the idea of a Deathwatch army but didn't want to do the DW scheme so I just went "Oh they're like a super secret non-codex formation my chapter master commissioned". You could even just say they're one of these strike forces we hear about but never actually get represented on table, as the game is bigger than the usual scale Space Marines operate at.
>>
>>54645793
if the ITK anon is correct, and he did get it right till now aside from dates, we should have guard and nid by end of year. I doubt it though, think I heard GW say 2018 was the 'year of the xeno'

>>54645773
>SPEARHEAD DETACHMENT
>Ven. Chaplain Dreadnought with Inferno Cannon and CCW/bolter = 197pts

Well, it's gonna take you time to get in range with that, so an assault cannon might be better but okay.

>Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought with twin multi-Meltas = 160pts
>Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought with twin multi-Meltas = 160pts

Augh! Why! Too weak! No!
>Leviethan Dreadnought with two Grav-flux Bombards = 309pts

Too strong! People will call you a WAACfag for this model despite your shitty choice in Mortis dreads! Just one bombard to a model please!

>VANGUARD DETACHMENT
>Techmarine with Conversion Beamer and Power Maul = 69pts

Yeah okay, works. Can hang back with your ranged shit, Beamer keeps him cheap but useful.

>Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres Assault Cannon and CCW/Bolter = 165pts
>Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres Assault Cannon and CCW/Bolter = 165pts

Decent. Ass cannons are important in a dread list for horde work.

>Ironclad Dreadnought with Hurricane Bolter, Chainfist and Assault Launchers = 147pts

Yeah, that's the best way to run this model.

>Redemptor Dreadnought with Onslaught Gatling Cannons = 198pts
>Redemptor Dreadnought with Onslaught Gatling Cannons = 198pts

202 each actually. You could do better than this in efficiency or versatility, two seems kinda a waste.

>Relic Deredeo Dreadnought with Autocannon battery, missile launcher = 232pts

Yeah sure. You could actually do with more Autocannons. Maybe on the Melta dudes? You're also a bit short on punching for a dread army, a siege drill would be a good way to help your army's flexibility and be less WAAC about the Grav bombards at the same time.

Well, pick up thirty Termagants on Ebay, then get a Tervigon and an Exocrine. This gets you most of the way to 1000 points on the cheap. There are a lot of ways to make a cheap Tyranid army, but also a lot of expensive honey traps like Zoanthropes, which end up being extremely expensive to field a useable unit of. Basically, play Troops and Monsters and get the rest in small quantities and you end up with a pretty cheap army by 40k standards.
>>
>>54645895
The fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>54645872
Cool, this is exactly what I was looking for. Do you think I should drop a redemptor for something else? Putting a Siege Drill on the Leviathan and putting twin autocannons on the Mortis dreads (I only had multi-meltas out of point restraints) mean I need to shed 42 points currently.

Light is well known for staying in neat, orderly lines. It never bends, especially around corners or small gaps.

>>54645793
It should be alternating Imperium and non-imperium. GKs and CSM will be releases at the same time, DG will get as many models as the primaris stuff now, which will fill out this month.
After that probably a loyalist dex, TS and we are through with Chaos Marines.
That is just about halve. The rest could be basically any other faction.

And because we know that there will be AoS stuff and there aren't enough weeks left these year we will have more double releases with no new minis.

Are you retarded? You take a wound from a weapon that deals 3 damage. Cover would reduce it to two.

lmao

>>54645877
Why don't you do it?
>>
>>54645895
Hello, person who clearly has never played a game of 8th edition before.

1) No, it would not, since most models likely to be affected by cover in the game still only have 1 Wound, so it would do fuck-all for them.

2) It in no way makes it harder to actually get your units to benefit from cover.

3) Fuck off, the cover bonus is very relevant when it applies. GETTING it to apply is the problem.

The one thing to "fix" about cover is to bring back intervening terrain again.
>>
>>54645333
Dark Imperium is a pretty solid way of doing so but check if you can get the models you need without dropping a tonne for the box
>>
>>54644820
Fucking pussy starting shit he can't finish.
>>
>>54645977
So, in other words, only multi-wound models benefit from it, and only against ranged weapons that deal more than 1 Dmg. Get out of the trenches, Guardsmen, that's where our tanks go.

After the lastest FAQ... pretty bad.

Only beeing able to use Cult Ambush for 50% of your army forces you have to put the rest of your points into stuff that don't die right away.
Which is pretty hard to do if you think about the fact that everything except some vehicles have a 5+ armour save.
And playing without CA is basically playing a worse version of AM without orders etc.

Not the worse army ever but it's really hard to get into them if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Wouldn't recommend at this point.

IW DPs can take wargear that gives them a 2+ save and they recover a wound per turn.

>>54646066

>The legion rule

Decent enough if kinda boring, good for digging out entrenched objective squatters. I have never seen anyone bring a building as part of a list, and with the IF/IW traits being known now if they're present in your local meta I doubt you will now.

>Relic

I'm dubious. 2+ armour is great for a jump pack lord, mounted lord, daemon prince or sorcerers, none of which really fit the IW theme, so you're really getting it to regen wounds on your warpsmith or terminator lord. At least its free unlike...

>Stratagem

You pay 1cp to get a 1/6 chance to ignore wounds for one unit for one phase, something the Iron Hands do on all their units every phase, and which a slaaneshi sorcerer can cast on one of their units and have it last till the end of the next psychic phase, but theirs is a 1/3 chance. Really kind of a let down.

>Warlord trait

The faction focus hints at CSM being better in close combat, whether that's an illusion to the DttFE rule or the fact that everyone can exchange their bolter for a chainsword (but not take on in addition like editions past) I don't know, which if true this could have some utility escorting big blobs of shooty and punchy CSM forward to storm enemy positions.

Overall kind of a disappointment. More disheartening is the complete omission of obliterators from the post, when last edition IW were the obliterator legion, with obliterators as troops who were better then everyone elses because of their (minor) durability boost and bonuses to breaking shit. So chances are the roll 3 dice guns are here to stay and GW marketing couldn't bring themselves to hype them up.

On the bright side IW players are probably happy, because now they have something to complain about.

Iron Warriors are known for using Cultists as cannon fodder to clear minefields and even run the Imperiums guns dry. It's fluffy, just wish there was more than a warlord trait, stratagem, and legion tactics to differentiate same for marines. It all feels vanilla.

Got a few quick questions about building my army.

I wanted to run a pure melee Admech list but now my wallet is suffering. My second favourite army is Guard.

If I'm using Dragoons, Electro-Priests, Sicarians and a few Dominii, what are the best ways I could use a 1k Guard detachment?

Should I bring artillery, transports, hellhounds to bring fire support and block LOS?

I really don't know what would be best here because I've never touched anything but admech.

If the Emperor has been alive for well over 100,000 years, and has always been guiding humanity from the shadows, why did he let humanity get to the state where it would need reuniting again again?

Take a 2'x2' board (either part of a GW board or a self-made one) and design it yourself, including terrain and everything, then add models to it. It can go from "place a few models onto a GW board piece" to "hand-carved board with indentations for the models' bases and absolutely gorgeous scenery to make your army stand out. Takes a fuckload of cash, work and skill, though.

I'm failing to see the relevance of that question. You are allowed to use those options and therefore can convert them.

What you listed for admech is minor fire support/melee, melee, melee and minor fire support/melee.

So you are missing big guns. How to supply them? Two options:

Scions (counts as skitarri guard)
Take normal troops plus command squads and especially the taurox prime with autocannons and the battlecannon. Provides mid range fire support with the others provide either decent AP or plasma/volleyguns.

Normal guard, but focused on fire support. Sentinals with lascannon/plasmacannon work well and keep in theme, devildogs and chem hounds also work well. Artillery is okay as well, as is bringing bullgryn (can also count as assault servitors or something)

Here's a rule question...

You have two melee weapons and want to attack with both. If the damage you cause with the first weapon causes enough wounds, and your opponent chooses to remove models closest to your attacker first such that there's nobody left within 1", do you still get to attack with the second weapon? Are all those fight phase attacks simultaneous?

>pic not related
>>
>>54647019
Because Hive Tyrants are not only able to be focused down due to 12 wounds and having shit for toughness, but the Swarmlord can cast two psychic abilities AND use Hive Commander while having better melee viability and a 4++ that becomes Rowboat levels of hard to remove with TGuard, while the Swarmlord's less interesting cousins don't even have sprue options for their claws. T-Primes are not that great, but they can't be easily focused and are far cheaper.

As for what the worst choices for Nids are, here is the list:
LoW: Scythed Hierodule
HQ: Hive Tyrant
HS:Tyrannofex
Elite:Maleceptor
Troop:Ripper Swarm
FA:Gargoyles
>>
>>54647080
To wit, anon, you don't need to use the "best" set up with an army.
That you could actually choose warriors without they not being an net negative against your army is a change from the last 3 editions.

>Are all those fight phase attacks simultaneous?

Yes, wound resolution is done after the attacker has finished.

I started thinking about it the other day.

Does anyone know how easy it is to make a water board? I was thinking of doing an Admech sea base, with some concrete pillars and Sector Mech terrain on top built around a dock for my Whalebird. Could station my Dunecrawler on a side platform with Icarus Array active, dot some servitors and Skitarii around the place and have my friend attack with his Dark Eldar skimmers, but I have no idea if doing water effects like pic related costs a bajillionty pounds or something. What is it, just molten resin poured in?I suppose I could just buy a sea battle mat, but those look considerably less cool.

Like pic related, but with most of it being sea surrounding a small Admech-fortified island with a bridge leading off the board.

Hive tyrants are a physically gigantic model, can be targeted by shooting attacks, have a degrading profile and are expensive unless you just give them rending claws. They're a big fat easy target.

Primes are at least useful as cheap synapse that can't just be shot off the field turn one by a heavy weapons team or predator.

It's not terribly hard anon. Go check out Woodland Scenics Realistic Water, that stuff is great.

Simple to use, too - no mixing, just pour a thin layer and wait a day for it to dry, then do another layer. Hot glue some cardboard around the edge of your board to keep the goop from getting everywhere, and you're done.

Make sure to paint the board whatever color you want the water to be first, as the stuff dries clear.

Okay, we don't think they're bad because they have shitty stats for anything but Wounds or Toughness, we think they're bad because they're so goddamn mediocre and expensive in comparison to less mediocre options. If you ask ANY Tyranid player with two braincells to rub together, they will flat out tell you that that is, always has been, and will likely be the problem for Warriors until the end of time. They're a Jack of all trades, which makes them outclassed by literally every other troops choice besides Ripper Swarms. Devilgaunts? Far superior firepower and in greater synergy. Hormagaunts? Far better tarpitting and charging capability. Genestealers? Literally a better version of the Hormagaunt. They don't even have SYNAPSE of all things going for them, because you can take a Malanthrope for the same points and have a better benefit for it. They're just so damned mediocre, and it hurts to see them that way because the models are so damn cool and we'd all run them if they weren't so inefficient to field in every single installation of Warhammer barring SW:A.

3 females at my LGS, one Tyranid, one Eldar, and one Dark Eldar.
The Tyranid one also plays Space Wolves.
I said it was a trend not a certainty, I remember in one of these threads some anons compared what armies female players tend towards, Tyranids was the most common, followed by Eldar, both Dark and Craftworld.

Possible side effects of using a wet palette include:

Orks are good, lots of untis can just be "converted" out of spare bitz from other boxes.

-Start collecting kit to start off, don't use the nobz in a nob squad but to lead the various
-boyz squads trukk squad kit
-grotz squad
That's roughly 200 CA$ and gives you a nice chunk of troops you can build off.

Only problem is warboss model are, for some reason, one of the hardest things to get a hold of despite being so iconic. You can just make a biker or something in to a warboss but people are worried they'll get removed from the codex.

Well I don't know what to tell you, everyone is different man, I play dedicated Slaanesh, Daemons and CSM, my friend plays two different Space Marine chapters and Khorne Daemonkin, and the Tyranid girl I know also plays Space Wolves.
Hell, my little brother plays Tyranids, barely, he has a Start Collecting and hasn't painted them yet, and he hasn't bought any paints or new models in a year because he's saving money for a new computer.
Everyone plays what they like man, the generalisation is that majority people know at least one girl who plays either Tyranids or GSC.

This isn't waacfagging, goddamit. This is about the fact that they can't fucking balance out our army properly. If you walk onto a table with Warriors, you're going to get laughed off as every other army sweeps your overly expensive but still squishy Troop off the table with their own basic infantry. Gargoyles are obvious trash, yes, but the problem with Warriors is that they're trash that GW keeps trying to get us to believe are not.

Iron Hands are kinda harder to get rid of with their 6+ FNP
Raven Guard are harder to hit from 12"+ away.
Ultramarines can run away from melee and give some dakka as a fuck you.
You might not want to get near a Salamander hotspot with each unit (each character is their own unit) getting a free to hit & to wound reroll.
The others are mostly offensive.

Has anyone found there's a point in learning to paint where everything just starts going reasonably right at once? Previously I was stumbling around trying to paint Mars Skitarii badly because I didn't understand the ways of based Duncan or sprayed them with Leadbelcher, so I had to slowly do all the metal in one coat with a brush. THICC occurred.

Took a two-week break from painting until about a week ago, came up with a new colour scheme, bought a LB rattlecan and learned how to do passable basecoating, washes and edge highlights and all of a sudden decent tabletop standard was achieved. I always wanted to do a bunch of conversions, but felt that I would just ruin them with terrible paint afterwards, but I might actually start a couple now.
>>
Deathshroud predictions?
>>
>>54647992
I would recommend hand painting metallics. It's way more noticeable in unreachable areas of the mini than white or black primer.
>>
>>54647992
Painting is a skill you learn like any other. It certainly gets easier with practice.

>>54647626
Well, there is a "viable" option for warriors: Max unit with barbed stranglers and whips and a prime in range to have a very tanky synapse unit in the center. It's under 250 points (for the unit) and you can soak up a lot of dmg and block most cc-units your enemy will throw at you. the barbed stranglers hit on 2+ against big units, so it's decent firepower.

It's nothing to brag about but it's actually better then gants in holding the line because there absolutelly are units that will murder 30 gants in one round but won't get through this unit without beeing crippled.

But to be honest I still prefer gants in front and genestealers to eat up the unit in a countercharge. More expensive but also much more versatile.

Oh and rippers are great for certain roles too. Wouldn't ever go for more then a single minimum unit but it was always very much worth it so far.
>>
>>54648047
It's unlikely. They've never had their own print codex from GW proper. Are you using any Chaos stuff where you can't just run them as "counts as" Astra Militarum?

One is upgraded for free.

You can just give a boy nob weapons and run them as a nob but using the bigger, most impressive looking models is just worth it.
Also, the nob squad nobz get the full range of wargear options.
>>
>>54648068
I don't deny that they're hardier than Gaunts, just that their defensive capabilities don't mesh well enough with usual Nid playstyle. What do you use Rippers for, pray tell? I haven't found a good spot for them.
>>
>>54647787
Oh, and you can put two in to the boyz squads as leaders and proxy one nob as a warboss.
>>
>>54648027
I do hand paint metallics that differ from the standard, but when the vast majority of a Sicarian squad's nooks and crannies can be dealt with with a leadbelcher spray and Nuln Oil wash instead of two hours messing about with a brush and possibly messing up the thinning somewhere I know which one I'm picking. I think I'll try a 50:50 split on my next Skittle box and see which I prefer for those, though, since they're less of a pain.

>>54648030

Yeah, that I know, but rarely do I run into a skill where the basic level of competence seems to appear almost entirely at once, especially after a break. Certainly a nice change, although I suspect it's down to discovering Lord Duncan of the Many Layers.

Where I am in choosing an army:

Nids: since the SC is no good, probably not

Orks: Meh. They're funny but their models all look the same to me

IG: Maybe? Is the SC any good? And I'm not sure if cadians are my favorite

Deldar: Still on the table (the longest "surviving")

Chaos: I'll wait a few days to see what the other legions have. Looks like a no right now

Admech: tempted to do a dark mechanicus or Ryza force

You can just walk along with the warriors no matter what style you are playing.
They are just not much fun or exiting. And you don't really need them. So I understand if nobody wants to use them. I don't feel like it myself.
At least until somebody starts playing a decent cc-army around here and I have to cockblock him with all the whips.


Rippers are great as first turn objective grabbers, overwatch sponges for other units and generally at beeing annoying. Similar role to spore mines, except they don't do shit to the enemy except beeing annoying.
I love using Brigarde detachments to compensate for my bad luck and both spore mines and rippers are great at making my opponents cringe wasting firepower on them while the wall of bodies comes closer.

In the sweet spot of relative cheapness, powerful but not overly so, and low model count.

I get that they're very minorly cost inefficient next to mono use options but they're way better than the spergs in this thread are pretending. They're worse at tarpitting than horms but they have a gun. They're worse at shooting than devils but they have cc.

Being multi faceted isn't always useful and sometimes you pay a cost for abilities you don't use but it's. It meaningless that they have multiple roles.
