All of the 40k games are great if the essence you're looking for is Imperial. There's a glut of atmosphere if they're your faction of choice.

Everyone else can get by with a little here and there, but a lot of those races need expanding, or even just a fluff-nailing down.

Been thinking of repainting my iron warriors CSM for a while now, as in from before 8th hit. I just look at them and think they look...kind of dull. So, I need to pick a new legion. Been considering word bearers because I've always liked their scheme, and their lore's okay, although I hear their rules are kind of wank. If I was going with rules I'd go with the alpha legion, who also have a decent paint scheme, but lore-wise I think they're a bunch of smug chucklefucks. Night lords are the other option, but they're just kind of okay, I don't hate their scheme/lore/rules but not sure I really love them either. Currently leaning towards the word bearers because at the end of the day they're my models and I need to look at them every day, but I dunno.


tl;dr When picking a legion, should I prioritise paint scheme, rules, lore, or what?

Thanks for reading my shitty blog post.

>>
>>54714878
Word Bearers may not be great but they do have the best daemon summoning. If you want to deep strike bloodthirsters they are absolutely the faction to do it with.
What big models do you currently own? Like which vehicles, daemons etc since they will have a big effect on what is right for you.

In terms of big models, got a few daemon engines (maulerfiend, defiler, and heldrake). That was kind of why I painted my shit as iron warriors in the first place, but I guess other legions use daemon engines too - would that be a thing word bearers go in for?

Currently the only daemons I have are a trio of bloodcrushers (bought because I like the models) and some screamers & flamers of tzeentch (ditto). It is tempting to expand more in that direction though.

>>54714916
Well, that is definitely word bearers. At least people wouldn't accuse me of being cheesy and switching to the new hotness, I guess...

Ally had 46 conscripts, 3 heavy weapon teams, yarrick, a vulture, chimera melta vets and a vindicare

Enemy had a good 40 or so khorne berserkers, 20 cultists, 10 raptors, a defiler, vindicated, predator, kharn and a dark apostle and some other stuff I may have forgotten

>>54715063
Well if you want to expand in that direction lorewise and a little bit gameplay wise i think word bearers are the way to go. I don't know much about their vehicles but i imagine daemon engines are more popular than regular chaos vehicles such as predators to the word bearers.
If you want to expand in the realm of daemons the big thing to look at first is heralds, they give +1S and can cast buff spells on daemons aligned to their god, but this includes things like warp talons and daemon engines. For example a nurgle heldrake could get +1 to wound from a herald of nurgle or get healed for a few wounds each turn.
Each daemon type has a start collecting box, i would say grab one of those and maybe look into a greater daemon and you can summon these or even deploy them as another detachment. Slaanesh has a spell with a warp value of 8 (so not easy to cast) that lets a slaanesh daemon within 18 inches pile in and fight as though it were the fight phase. I'm sure you can imagine what a heldrake, defiler or maulerfiend dedicated to slaanesh could accomplish.
>>54715080
Cheaper, not better.
>>
>>54714660
So now plague marines with plague axe and knife are just plain better than melee chosen, and havoks are basically chosen but cheaper, and less guns, what the hell should i do with my chosen?
>>
>>54715143
The guns look a little too heavy and imbalanced. One bad swing and your ammo goes flying. A chute at least flexes and puts less strain on the connection.

If you want the ammo to be on the guns, why not look at something smaller, like 3rd party drum mags or take drums from some other gun, like ork sluggs or guard grenade launchers?
>>
>>54715216
Ha, yes those come with the model and they aren't extra. That's not a drum mag in the fist, its a motor.
>>
Shit even after 4 days in the simple green my dreadclaw is trying as hard as it can to keep that gay primer on. I'm using a metal bristle brush, would re-dunking it for another 4 days ensure it comes off without me scraping this thing to pieces?

Actually a very amusing thing just occurred to me a daemon prince or defiler or something (needs both heretic astartes and daemon keywords) could be warptimed up to within 3 inches of an opponent, then the slaanesh spell used to cause it to pile in to that target and attack it without having to charge.

Anyone here got possessed?

I like the rules and the fluff but the models kinda look weird. Plus I wanna run them as Nurgle, and not sure they fit the aesthetic.
>>
>>54715134
They just got buffed. Aside that point they are deadly anti-vehicle/monster models which are protected from shooting by being character models.
>>
>>54715146
Not necessarily. Besides the fact that fabius has had 10,000 years to work on his new man and still isn't done, and it took a savant like cawl thousands of years to make Primaris, and that's with basically everything you could want to make such a project easier, there's also the fact that it's a really really long jump from "Bile figures out how primaris work" to "all CSM have primaris in statiscally significant numbers"
I'm sure we'll get some primaris equivalent at some point, but I really really doubt it'll be "fabius makes primaris, now everyone has them"

I have something like 1000 points of Mechanicus painted, another maybe 1000 unpainted, thinking about getting Cawl with some necron bits from fucking January and I still haven't played a single game.

Hey /40kg/, I've got a question. I'm thinking about getting a Stalker/Hunter kit and using the Stalker's Icarus Stormcannons on a plastic Contemptor to make a Contemptor-Mortis with two twin-linked Autocannons.
Doesn't look like it would be difficult. Chop off the Contemptor's weapon arms at the elbow, glue Stormcannons on upside down, and do whatever plasticard/sculpting I have to to make it look properly attached. Not hard at all.

Problem is I've never even seen a Stalker in person, so I'm not quite sure about the size of the guns and how they'd actually match up with the Contemptor.

Anyone know if those guns would fit?
>>
>>54715428
Because they want to wrap up the Primaris release before pushing new models from another faction.
>>
>>54715349
Yeah, but even then it seems really hard to justify a most legions getting access to them, let alon all the non-legion CSM, just by the nature of how CSM work. Someone like bile or whoever has the stuff AL stole from corax are not going to just say "step right up and get your free primaris," they're going to jew you as hard as they can snd even after you pay a ridiculous price they're still likely to fuck you over by giving you defective stuff, or decide the dudes you've given to be upgraded are better served to test other expeirments. That already limits how many chaos primaris you'd see, and it's not even accounting for all the rivalries and hatred that would make the situation more complex.
It'll be interesting to see what they come up with, I hope they just don't go "and all the legions had their medics develop Chaos Primaris at around the same time, now buy more models" because that would be fucking gay.

3 pts, the WB article confirmed they went up, not down in price.

Which is great, though a bit sad because that really put CSM over the loyalists dex. Now we're just a slightly worse dex with one or two good legions and copy pasted everything else. I'm really disappointed with the codex.

Khayon said nothing about it not having a soul. He said it was Horus in every way.

>got killed by abbadaboo

When the clone recognised Abaddon it stopped fighting and went "Abaddon my brother. My son". Abaddon then punched the Talon of Horus through the clone's chest and then unloaded three bolter rounds into the chest exposed cavity destroying the internal organs whatever remained of them. Not even a primarch can survive that.

I don't count that as a personal victory to Abaddon because the clone was unstoppable smashing the whole warband around until Abaddon confronted the clone.

Bundle where you can too.
SC! Box for Guard gets you a Battle Tank and the bits for an infantry squad plus a heavy weapon. Two of those will solve your regular Russ, Lord Commissar and two of your infantry squads while netting a bonus Commissar.

OR the armored fist box would grab you a Chimera and an infantry team each just missing the heavy weapons that come 3 to a box anyway.

Bonus protip on HWT. If you can live with a two wound model only having one dude on it pick up some 50mm bases and you can totally get 6 teams out of each box.

stormtalon is better against ground hitting on 3+ and can hover, which if you choose not to move it, makes it hit on 2+ against ground.

What clan do you like the most? Read through the basic clan descriptions, and then gear your army towards their gimmick. Right now Blood Axe and Deathskulls feel a little odd without looted wagons, but I assume that shit will come back and you can just run looted stuff as trukks or battlewagons for the time being. If you just want a bunch of boyz, Goffs are a great all around clan.

It's hard for me to really say how to start these days, since I have slowly been building up a force since 2nd ed, and most of it was just spur of the moment at the time. My first real purchase beyond starter box orks (with the cardboard dreffdread) was a box of Stormboyz just because I thought they sounded cool. So I'd probably suggest getting a solid base of boyz, nobs, trukk, warboss, and from there just going with whatever sounds cool to you at the time. It's hard to say what will get a boost or nerf between faqs or whenever the codex comes out, but most basic stuff will always have a use. And most specialty troops (burnas/lootas and stormboyz for example) have enough bits where you can stretch those parts into a cheap boyz box and get quite a few extras. I'm currently thinking of building a few tankbusters, but that's a lot of bits (so save up the single rokkit you get from your boyz boxes if you want those down the line).

Personally i think Ynnari are pretty cool and an interesting new addition to eldar that are sadly underused, being just "dark+craftworld eldar" is kind of lame and they have the potential to be something new.
But i also think if that if ynnead and slaanesh merged and we got chaos eldar or something out of it (slaanesh forgives the debts of the eldar dead if they pledge themselves to slaanesh or something) i would be pretty interested in that.

There are a variety of things that happen to their souls. The best outcome is daemon princehood, something eldar could now aspire to as servants of slaanesh and eldar are very fucking arrogant they would sincerely believe they could make it.
Its mentioned in one of the daemon codexes that souls that die to some of nurgle's diseases become plaguebearers. In general i think most chaos aligned souls are supposed to get a slightly better deal in the warp than the souls of those sacrificed to chaos. The last chaos daemons codex certainly didnt make it sound fun to be sacrificed to slaanesh though, read the hellflayer entry.

Yes. Succubus tends to be a better self contained close combat character due to weapon options, drugs and her aura. Her aura is MUCH better if you are taking Wyches than Archon's is with Kabalites. What the Archon mainly offers is a BS 2+ blaster. Otherwise he's kinda weak.

I don't see it. Personally i see the Ynnari more as something new in eldar society, something perhaps scary to eldar because of that. The Dark Eldar are pre fall eldar minus psykers. The ynnari are a cult but mostly they are a cult with hope and purpose. They lack the desperation and despair that marks the eldar (other than harlequins anyway) because they have a way out, a goal. In over ten thousand years the eldar have not seen progress and have arguably feared it because of slaanesh but now here they are, something new.

So what, a bunch of decadent, hedonistic fucks? I thought Craftworlders were supposed to represent the height of the Eldar but with much more caution and self-awareness.

Perturabo took a lascannon shot to the face and shrugged it off, Fulgrim was shot by a super-bolter-sniper, the author describing the round as having entered his skull, punched through his brain and exited out the other side of his head. He healed from it in a few minutes and within a day even the scars around the wounds were healed.

Not Perturabo, meant to say Mortarion. Mortarion was also ripped apart by two Fire Raptors unloading on him with Gatling cannons and healed it from it.

Oh and Lorgar has also been shot by a warhound Titan and Angron has survived being stepped on by a Titan.

Being stepped on by a titan probably wouldnt even kill a terminator to be honest. The armor+force field is designed to survive a lot, the ground underneath anyone in terminator armor or better would just be crushed and compacted unless they were standing on something like a necron tomb structure or some other really resillient shit. The actual weight of the titan would just push them into the ground then distribute itself over the massive area of the titan's footprint.

Thanks for the link

So Abaddon looks he'll be a common sight, seems to be equal if not maybe a bit better than Calgar. Legion trait is sort of meh, but i like the aggression it potentially allows. It's also nice to see that actual chaos space marines may have some use this time around, but it saddens me that there is no more Bolter/Bolt Pistol/CCW combo anymore. Deep striking terminators with Abby could still be fun too.

Overall pretty good, plus since i sometimes swap codices to go between different forces (Chaos Marines, Regular Marines and 30k) it's nice to see some things can be similar across them

Yeah, thing is I could've gone down to my local GW if I hadn't let my sister borrow my car to get to work.

Not that it matters much since my local GW shop is dominated by humies, beakies, and mah greenskinned bruthas.

Seriously, the Megabattle for Astaramis GW sure comes up with interesting names for planets, I will give them that much. at that shop can be summed up lorewise as the following:

>a Nurgle and T. Sons Chaos warband shows up to the battlefield and realize that they're HEAVILY outnumbered (there was like 2 Chaos player at the battle, up against several a couple Ultramarine players, a Guard player, an old gent with a cool-looking tray to roll his dice on that ran SoB, a Blood Angels player, a Grey Knight player, and a Salamanders' player.)
>In a really desperate move, the Warband's chieftain/leader/whatever-the-zog spiky gits call their HQs these days hires in 5 different Ork armies (Freebootaz, Speed Freeks, Goffs and Deathskulls if I remember correctly) as well as discovers what can only be described as the noobiest of n00b traitor guard, the kind that yell "PRAISE HORUS!" instead of "DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!", and got lucky that an entire army of Fallen D.Angels showed up to help them (lumping the xenos on the same side as Chaos was a given, but the store manager chose a DA player and Guard player to balance out the two sides)
>In the middle of the battle the Bloody Magpies show up to 'help out' the Grey Knights and Salamanders because they were about to be overrun by a Green Tide of Orks. Meanwhile, the two Chaos warbands are up against a force of Ultramarines and armor column of IG tanks with assistance from another Ork force. (more players got to jump into the battle after turn 1)
>Imperium wins, 24-20, and all the xenos victory points (much to my annoyance) go to Chaos because the spiky gits only had 4 before the megabattle started.
>>
>>54717023
Fulgrim is hit with a needle rifle from maximum range. It might have got him if it'd hit differently or had more velocity, but instead it hit his healthily reinforced primarch skull and rolled over it without puncturing. He basically got lucky.

(This is actually less impossible when it comes to getting shot in the head than you might imagine. )

> Founding Chapter: Ultramarines

>>54716990
To be fair, Mortarion's entire thing is being tough as all fuck and Lorgar is a psyker and thus had teek shields up. All three were still almost killed. Angron for some reason was not just pushed into the ground like a nail through cheese when the Titan stepped on him, either.

I kinda want to see a book with either one of the new Loyalists or old Lost PrimarchslDorn's death (although yeah, we won't see them because reasons, just hypothetically) where they just get within sight of a Warlord/Reaver Titan or get painted for orbital bombardment/nuke strike like the one that killed Vulkan on Istvaan. Just raise the stakes a little bit, have one get unceremoniously owned and remove the "muh precious characters, they must never suffer lasting injuries" shield over the entire thing. Alternatively, have them separated from backup and ripped to bits by hordes of enemy melee troops, like Daemonettes or Ruststalkers or something.

Because fucks sake, the character wank has got real recently. I play Admech, Cawl needs to get toned down or fuck off along with the Primarchs since he makes the entire setting feel cheap as hell and the Mechanicus look incompetent. If he was just the leader of a research consortium it would make more sense, not coming up with all this shit on his own.

>>54717015

Well, all the Marine characters seem to do just fine. Sure, they should be tough, but this arbitary level of toughness coupled with the plot shield just makes it seem cartoony.

>>54717038

One of the Primaris organs is half of the "God Maker" that gives the Primarchs their physical abilites. One of the only things we DO know about Primarch biology is they do have normal flesh and organs, just more of them.

>>54717122

He got caught unarmoured by a squad of Alpha Legion impersonating Thiel's squad in Unremembered Empire, just managed to kill them while being severely injured. Tells his captains he could easily have been killed.

Depends on what you want to use them for. Carbines give you mobile firepower and a way to harass enemy units while in the flank. Or to just soften them up before charging in. Knives put more emphasis on the stabbing. They're not super shooty, so the options are little bit of both or all into chopping.

Chutes and hooks depend. Hooks might be best suited for carbines, since you don't have to worry about range (you effectively have a 30" range from any table edge), and the hooks allow you to move on top of terrain easily for better vantage point. Then again, chutes allow you to enter anywhere and on top of buildings as well. Hooks are not bad for stabby units either, since they make traversing terrain easy. That 9" assault distance to an enemy unit cuts quite nicely when you can ignore vertical distance.

The Admech IS incompetent. They BAN most research into anything that hasn't already been invented. The only reason Cawl is "more competent" than other archmagos is because he's willing to colour outside the lines and hadn't been caught by the admechquisition before he found a patron in roboute.

Would 20 melee Reivers in an all-Primaris list make for a reasonable assault substitute do you think?

I've got loads of dakka, close and far range. I think Reivers could do cause some serious confusion and distraction early on and with some other dropped in units i.e. Hellblasters or Aggressors, could put the pressure on in the first turn.

Tie up blobs or tanks, whilst the guys with guns hose stuff down, not to mention preventing overwatch on stuff moving up

That's just GW being grimderp. Admech used to be competent, they could rewrite code with their minds and had actual scientific knowledge mired in religious dogma.

I think power weapons have some force-field surrounding them.
>>
>>54717443
Power weapons are wrapped in a disruption field that weakens molecular bonds. So when you strike a steel bar with a sword, the molecular bonds between the atoms in the steel bar are weaker and allow the force of the blade to sever them more easily.
>>
>>54717455
That's not FW's decision, its blatantly them following GW's lead. Admech have not been remotely competent nor have they been attributed with inventing anything since like 3rd or 4th edition.

Hey guys, room-mate was super hype about 8th edition so I'm getting back into it, haven't played since about six months after the 4th edition space marine codex, got a box of start-collecting daemons of tzeentch for some AoS games but never got around to it and am interested in starting a Night-lords legion and maybe trying to find another club or just playing in a store somewhere or something (is there like a system to playing pickup games at GW stores or something, I'm oblivious as to how that works as they're kinda low traffic around here), likely going to be allying the night lords with those tzeentch daemons just to get another 500 points, regardless of the fact that the nightlords don't play nicely with daemons (unless a lot has changed fluff wise since like 2004), I might have a bunch of my old 2nd edition loyalist rhinos and predators I could likely strip and add some chain and batwings to and call them night-lord, but assuming I'm starting with nothing but the daemons, don't suppose anyone could suggest a not terrible way to make it to 1500 points?

>Imperium: 96
>XENOS: 46
>Chaos: FUCKING FOUR POINTS!
I don't care if it was only 2 days into the campaign (starting it on a Thursday was a dumb idea to begin with imo, but whatever), Chaos should have had at least have above 10 points at that particular store!

Kinda curious if they ever return, what special weapons should they have?
>>
>>54717390
They evidently DO do research, it's just really ritualized. A Dominus in the codex wants to get back to his Ork experiments, Kotov was a code badass on the level of Neo and rebuilt an Ark Mechanicus with very few records, Telok/Galatea was damned dangerous and invented a whole bunch of shit once he went renegade - clone-snow that turned into evil Titans, Space Marines and whatever else they were fighting that shot green lasers, giant dreadnought-self constructed from the same, etcetera.

They've reformed their coding techniques between M37 and M38 to the extent the new tricks could be used to block Telok off from parts of himself and he couldn't counter it or even comprehend it, the battle between Telok and Kotov wrecked the Ark Mech a bit from just the side effects.

Some parts of the Admech are idiots, yeah, but it varies pretty massively across the galaxy. Archmagi and High Magi normally get some research privileges if they keep quiet about it, and they all have their own tricks.
Saying the Admech are all complete incompetents is the same level of idiocy as assuming Guard use nothing but human waves and the commanders are ALL the exact worst kind of upper-class dick, Commissars and the Inquisition dish out executions and Exterminatus after seeing one Chaos Star or step backwards, Chaos are all card-carrying lunatics who rant and rave constantly and cannot strategise and Tau are all unimaginably naive and think the Imperium is just another smallish empire about twice the size of theirs like Azad in the Culture.

It's not just Khorne, the vast majority of the subfaction descriptions are just completely no-effort. Look at the Nurgle guys, literally just a a colour scheme and one preferred weapon. Admech book actually had decent descriptions of a few Forge Worlds, and I think the GS Cult one had a few different places, but still almost no detailed info given.

>Forge Weapons - These oversized weapons take the form of axes, hammers and occasionally greatswords. Made from alloys of magnesium they have a favorable tendency to spark when they strike a target, potentially setting them ablaze. However, due to the reactivity of such alloys the weapons require a great deal of care to maintain; therefore a Squat will take great pride in his Forge Weapon and will become greatly offended if the weapon is mistreated by others.
>Fusion Projector (borrowed from HH:2) - Fusion Projectors are remarkable flame based weapons that are both more elegant and potent than the flamers wielded by the other species of the galaxy. They can be used to incinerate a swath of targets like a regular flamer or focus their jet into a searing cutting arc. Fusion Projectors come in five sizes of both increasing power and energy consumption. Wielders of such weapons can choose to fire one of two profiles:

The Farsight Enclaves have Fusion Blades, as a relic in 6th/7th.
It's a setting for a twinlinked fusion blasters/guns/cannons/whatever with the energy emission focused for maximum heat//light/energy output across a much, much shorter range.

Imagine for a moment that you had a flamethrower that could have the nozzle adjusted to go from a 30ft wash to a 3ft cutting torch, and then apply the same concept to bullshit 40k xenos fusion gun technology.

It's just more thematic if they turned their arch enemies weapons against them, integrate what remains of their own tech with it.
>>

They have KFFs and Morkanauts, and invulns aren't even that good this edition anyways. A meganob gets a 5+ armour save against weapons that were AP 2 last edition so a 5++ would be wasted against most things anyways.
>>
>>54717834
KFF is still nice on boyz, considering their leather jacket save is worse than the KFF one.
>>
>>54717834
That's how I feel about Bullgryn and their 2+ save. The 4++ save isn't that great since most of the time a 5+ save against -3 things is good enough. However, when fighting Dark Eldar and all the -4AP going around, I regret not having the 4++.

Is that the starter set that come with 3 reivers?

The Squats don't have the AdMech's restrictions & a lot of anonymity. I can expect some Squat scientist to have a few Tyranids chained up in a lab to dissect. Maybe also some dark-age tech.

Will we ever get Hrud, Rak'Gol or Space Skaven?

>Sorry I don't know everything about a fictional setting for a toy soldier game.
see what your trying to do here is pretend like basic knowledge of the setting is obscure and arcane old fluff, that only a gronard would know.
In reality Its been in the flavor text of power weapons since 4th ed, in every marine dex and i think the chaos ones too. Try actually reading something, instead being a retard.

You mean like an ork burna?

Bulgrin can however, get a 3++ real easy with a astropath nearby

>>54717860
Yeah exactly. Orks have invulns where they're useful and don't really need them where they dont have them. I have no idea what that anon is complaining about.

Especially with mortal wounds, new AP system, and psychic powers that just disable invulns this edition. And Orks having extremely cheap T4 bodies.

AdMech have Tyranids chained up in labs to dissect. They do that with all xenos. It's not heretical. That's how the Imperium knows literally everything it does about nids. There are entire divisions of Xenologists that do this stuff for a living.
>>
>>54717903
That's true. I often do that for the Slabshields.
>>
>>54716787
It's a matter of how long ago back you looked Anon...
>>
>>54716793
Even with HurrBolters and Meltas? I get the lack of an invuln is sad, but 3 T5 2+ Sv is pretty decent. Of course AT weapons can still have a field day with them.
