After Khorne's failed daemonic assault on Terra, the CSM codex says that the World Eater warbands are gathering as single force to launch their own invasion on Terra. The might of the World Eater will come crashing down of the cradle of mankind.

It's just gonna be another "WHAT IF" mystery with 5 different possible explanations that is a staple of 40k lore so nothing really gets resolved.

Just like they introduced that Guilliman was revived both during the mid-late 41st millennium and early 42nd millennium so they can have all campaigns and plot threads interlink at the same time instead of take place in a cohesive chronographical progression, because, get this, THE IMPERIUM HAS 5 DIFFERENT DATING SYSTEMS THAT MEAN THE PRESENT DATE OF THE DARK IMPERIUM GEN RANGES FROM 500M41 to 050M42 LMAAAAAAAAAAO

That would actually work really rather well. Orange glows are pretty easy to do on swords and such, my Admech use them, although they have green robes instead of tacticool gear and grey. Bloodletter glaze works for eye lenses, too, as long as you're smart about the base layer.

The 3+ player scenario has deployment by roll off then turn order decided by PL, LOWEST to highest, even if you're playing points.
I think thats pretty slick.

isn't it whoever finishes deploying goes first?

fuck me I'm always going last, despite building a fluffy army list I always get 120-130 PL for 2000 points, it's impossible to build an army otherwise since FW units have PL so overcosted, especially vultures which are 12 power for a 160 points model

Necrons.

They need serious point reductions on some units.

It would be nice to have a semi competitive army, considering the meta here has already caught the conscript faggery disease....
>>
>>54762559
Tau. I want a big rebalance in points costs for suits.

Commanders are too cheap, they're stupidly good for their cost, and make crisis suits a dumb choice. Broadsides are too expensive to be competitive. The Riptide is just shit all around.

A BS boost for Crisis Suits would also be thematic, 4+ BS feels a bit weak for their lore.

>>54762753
>Or is the system inherently broken because going first is too great an advantage?

I think the real problem is too many ways to alpha strike to a degree that the opponent can't recover from more than just going first in general.
>>
>>54762833
>>54762559
the easiest way to balance tau right now is commanders become 100 points base and crisis suits become BS3+ while their cost remains the same. It does one thing, makes crisis suits more efficient for dakka but leaves equivalent points of commanders with more wounds.
Would also like to see marker drone points drop since pathfinders are too good.
Broadsides could use a point drop, kitted out they should be maximum the same price as a hammerhead
also anti-psyker relic from FSE needs to return, a 12" bubble for dtw would be perfect right now as well as fusion blades+onager gauntlet

As for my second army

such is the life of a guardsmen
>>
>>54762833
I argued for a BS boost to suits before 8th and got shouted down for it, but I think it'll be more tolerable now that BS boosts from markerlights are harder to get a hold of, and ignoring cover isn't anywhere near as much of a thing. I don't know how well just changing the cost of Commanders will stop the spam without making it a pain to use them normally; I personally think a suit shouldn't be able to stack more than two of the same weapon to at least prevent quadfusions.

All battlesuit units being BS3+ would be good for tau balance, and yeah yeah "stupid WAAC Taufag" but at the end of the day they're internally unbalanced enough that Commander spam is a thing, and they're a purely shooting army with poor shooting skill - markers don't really compensate anymore unless used in overwhelming numbers.

I actually wouldn't mind losing the +1 bs ability completely, just shoot normally like everyone else and have markers be a gimmicky minor buff ability.

Tau don't need access to BS2 outside HQs, they just need easy access to BS3... And needing more than 10 markers on a single target to reliably get it isn't easy access.

Hence why having fire warriors BS4+, Commanders and Fireblades BS2+ And everyone else BS3+, but reducing markers to a mere gimmick buff with no bs boosting is the best option.

>some stupid nun with a gun has bs3+
>One of the most advanced pieces of war machinery ever has bs4+
With the new markerlight system the value is now questionable since you need 5 of them (on average 80-100 points) of markerlights to reach the one useful buff since the others are either ignored or have cheap wargear to simulate it so tau having bs4+ suits is a questionable move since it really hurts the viability, any nerf to commanders without making crisis suits a proper replacement will result in crisis suits phased out in favour of either stealthsuits spam lists, y'vahra spam lists (3d6 S6 Ap-3 with ATS D3) flamer is rape, tau'nar with repair Drone aids or flyer spam with stealthsuits in a corner to simply be a table presence.

I've come up with my own Forgeworld, Casthun. Background is it's a rocky industrial hellhole with five moons, on each of which lives an equally insane Magos in permanent competition with his four rivals.

Unlike most forgeworlds, some of its Skitarii have powerful capacitor orbs on their breastplates, which are most distracting...

My colour scheme is pale blue trousers, brown or grey coats, dark silver metal bits and grey and gold vehicles.

I'm aware I'm not a very good painter, but I'm trying to improve with each model.

I know I'm not getting BS3+, I'm just calling it the most elegant balance solution. Fuck the way markers were before, made it too easy to get BS5 ignores cover. Fuck the way they are now, makes it too hard to get BS3+.

Treating markers as bs boosters is a cancer on the design space for tau, it leads to being too strong or too weak instead of just giving units their proper skill stats in the first place.

Go play marines if you want 3+, fact is a buff to mRkerlights where 32 points is enough for the +1 bs and 64 points for ignores cover and + 2 bs would be fun and balance out tau while keeping them unique, remove markerlights and add ba3+ to everything and you have imperial fists

>>54763127

Your solution would lead to everthing being BS2+ in practice, because it would be easy to buff to there.

This is the simplified edition. Frankly I'd argue that losing JSJ took way more of the unique feel of the army away than shifting markerlights to a different type of buff would.

And I ain't crying about the JSJ loss, because it was complex bullshit too easy to break, even if fun on a superficial level.

Marker drones don't have targeting issues, they cost 2 more points in exchange for -1bs and being able to move and Fire heavy weapons with no penalty, which is only useful with a Drone controller for bs4+ requiring a points investment in the warhead and unit using it, should be the same amount of points as a pathfinder

well, without synapse they can only shoot/charge at the nearest unit so if you had some gaunts tie up a unit then the bugs behind them cannot shoot it thus allowing them to shoot at the second closet unit, things get harder if you only have melee bugs but a few trigon can strategically place them at the right places to allow better target priority.

Figured, slight variations in how its tough between chaos and imperial, but is absolutely disgusting either way. Thinking about running one as anti heavy infantry/vehicle any recommended builds for either

It completely depends on what squad they are in. Combi plasma is nearly always good if the squad will ever be within 24", but if you are going to get into a fight melee weapons are good too. I run my havoc champions naked because I use them as a wound soak.

Grav-flux and/or storm cannon(s). The heavy flamers will also help with the remaining heavy infantry. The meltas and its melee weapons can eat vehicles alive.

Guard army can't make his heavy bolters deal D3 mortal wounds
Guard army can't fire into a unit that came from reserves or deep strike
Guard army can't give his vehicles FNP against mortal wounds

I didn't say that, try replying to the actual posts not the strawman in your head.

Anyway, I watched his troops video (since that's what we're discussing) and he actually says (8:25 onwards) that an army of pretty much just troops will be "a force to be reckoned with", so not sure he's really proving that troops-heavy necrons is something only retards do.

New player here. While you guys are on the shitflinging subject. Chaos is getting it's codex this week and i was wondering if i should have a codex army list + an index army list in case i end up against opponents that don't have their codex yet. Don't know much about the tabletop rules yet since i've only been mostly painting my stuff so far but at least to me it sounds like a dick move to bring codex army list against index armies.

I mean yeah, when you're holding your dick as any non-power armor army while marines get to blast away with insane relics, stratagems, and abilities for free, it kinda sucks. I really hate it cause of bobby g, it's getting to the point I think I'll refuse games against him.

The list goes on, I don't think SM are even OP broken (aside from gilly), but all this dumb shit that totally negates the nuances of design and tactics in favor of "I'cn rerall heet with Chaplin ther4 I am beest tactishin evor" sucks to play against.

But hopefully it'll be okay when everyone has codexes. but of course it won't

I wanna make a small renegade and heretics attachment to go along with my nurgle from the starter set, but I'm lost on what to use. I have some cultist from the old starter set and 20 guardsmen so far. Also where can I find some conversion bits that are cheapish? Or should i get a load of green stuff instead?

Good luck getting that 12CP in the first place lol

Because Index bob was so much more balanced

Remember how powerfists and thunder hammers are cool, insanely deadly weapons that come at the cost of being difficult to use and generally unwieldy in combat? No, bacause everything you have has a lucky HQ nearby to reroll whatever babby doesn't like. Lieutenants are the worst offender

I never said it was exclusively a Codex thing, the issue is regular SM get so much flavor while literally everyone else gets left in the dirt. Hell, even chapter tactics were supposed to be a buff for fluffy playstyles true to actual tactics, but nope! letting it benefit everything sells more models.

12CP is a bit extreme, but the usual 7 and keeping an absurd amount is annoying. But yeah, just cause indexes were annoying doesn't mean codexes get a pass

>>54764535

Again, and? The marines can get a cheap retool on whatever unit they want isn't excused for being in the index, it's just more annoying now that it stacks with even more stuff.
I should apologize for kicking the hive, I really do like Marines, just some of the shit like 10 TH/SS terminators attacking twice and rerolling hits is not entertaining to play against. Oh well, commence continuance of autistic shitposting

So is it true Mortarion has a toughness aura, and -1 to hit aura that stacks with Miasma of Pestilence?

You can run chaos marines as chosen, but there are also specific chosen models that are all decked out with tons of spiky bits too.

A 10 man squad of Chosen can bring 6 plasma or melta guns (or a ton of combinations of stuff) and 4 chainswords, which lets them hop out of a rhino, use all their cool shooty, charge into combat and get 25 attacks even though they are kitted out as a "ranged attack squad".

They're pretty cool if used correctly, especially in light of all the content in the new codex such as strategems, legion tactics, etc

Contemptor dreadnought with kheres

There's nothing RAW saying that though, all you need is an Adeptus Astartes detachment which all the successors have.

They even said that specialized chapters would have access to Imperium, space marine and then their own strategems

next time don't be a massive retard. What you said was the equivalent of using playing against eldar as an example of why grav and gladius were unbalanced in 7th: your not wrong, but you're making the absolute worst possible arguement.
before anyone thinks as much, no, I'm not claiming gaurd are as unbalanced as 7th eldar.

DE player here(wasp/bulge archon anon if you care...I know you don't)

I recently just picked up a Visarch model to convert into Drazhar, and I'd like to fit him into my army. Any opinions?

Currently I run slight variations on this:

Succubus HQ - FNP warlord trait, +1S drug
in outrider detachment, with archite glaive
>5x reavers, 1x arena champion. Using grav-talons/cluster caltrops depending on the army, with 2 blasters. +2" move
>4x hellions, 1x helliarch - +1 attacks
>4x hellions, 1x helliarch - +1 toughness
>4x scourges, 1x solarite - 4x dark lances
>4x incubi, 1x klaivex
>raider - dark lance, shock prow(for succubus, incubi, archon)
vanguard
>archon - blaster, huskblade
>4x trueborn, 1x dracon - 4 blasters, phantasm grenade launcher
>Venom, splinter rifles, splinter cannon
>4x trueborn, 1x dracon - 4 blasters, phantasm grenade launcher
>Venom, splinter rifles, splinter cannon
>4x trueborn, 1x dracon - 4 blasters, phantasm grenade launcher
>Venom, splinter rifles, splinter cannon

spearhead
>haemonculus - liquifier gun, electrocorrosive whip
>talos - macro scalpel, macro scalpel, twin splinter cannons
>talos - macro scalpel, macro scalpel, twin splinter cannons
>ravager - 3 dark lances, shock prow

I have a game against scions on wednesday.

>>54761468
raider has space for 10
5 incubi, 1 succubus, 1 archon is only 7 slots.

>>54761504
I'll try that.

any thoughts to what I should cut to fit drazhar?
>>
>>54764762
The Dark Vengeance box set comes with a pack of cool looking Chosen, but I don't know too much about it other than that. A quick google leads me to believe that they're sold out but I'm sure they or the box set is around somewhere online.

The normal Chaos Space Marines kit looks pretty damn good though, they could easily be done up as Chaos Chosen if you took the time to accent them.

I don't really think that, Death Guard is already confirmed to be released soon and it's going to be one of the 6 next codices before Christmas.

If were GW that's how I'd do it though ;)

So, after hearing that Talons of the Emperor(sisters and Custodes) are getting a new book in their box, I'm curious if they'll get a rules update. In the meantime, I add up the box's point cost, and it comes around to almost a 1000 points. I am honestly pretty tempted to pick it up now.

But if I do, the question is: Storm shields or knives? Sentinal blades or Spears? Melta or Assault cannon? Flamers or Swords on the Sisters. And how do I fit in a HQ?
>>
>>54764838
Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Orks, Imperial Guard. So you know, only the good ones.
