Posting Black Legion spoilers from previous thread

>Sigismund parks the Black Templars in front of the Eye of Terror because he wants someone to come and end his misery and guilt
>Sigismund is sick of leading the Black Templars and plans to get them all killed in a suicidal attack during the Black Crusade as his final act of atonement
>Abaddon intentionally bred his Black Legionnaires to be backstabbing opportunists so at least one of them will have the ambition to carry on the Black Crusades
>Abaddon remembers the name of every soldier under his command by heart and only fights the Imperium to avenge the fallen and to ultimately avenge Horus
>Abaddon allows the Black Templars to survive because his next 13 Crusades were all prophesied and he knew the BT would be completely useless with Sigismund dead

This is bait.

>>54850929

I have a very good grasp of linguistics and English, and logically, it should be pronounced the latter, due to having one "b" and two "d's", but according to Duncan and GW official videos, it's pronounced the former. Since they are the actual creators, I always assume their pronunciation is right, even if it doesn't make any sense, which English often doesn't.

>>54850929
I prefer "Ah-buh-dawn"

>>54850907

>Blood Runs Hot

>The famously ferocious T’au Fire Warriors of Vior’la face an incursion of World Eaters. The Chaos Space Marines are so thoroughly lost to the worship of Khorne that their ranks contain as many Spawn as they do Berzerkers. The T’au’s impeccable fire discipline sees the World Eaters warbands kept at arm’s length – that is, until the infectious rage of the Khorne devotees begins to catch in the souls of Vior’la’s foremost cadres. The T’au, voices raised in primitive Fio’taun war cries that have not been heard for centuries, begin to engage the Chaos Spawn at close range and even charge in to engage them in close combat. It does not end well for the T’au. Millions die before a council of six Ethereals are scrambled to the site to lend their calming influence to the Fire caste cadres, restoring order and allowing the T’au to withdraw into low orbit before the World Eaters can complete the slaughter.

What happened to the "ch"?

Incoming DE player here. I want to get an anti-armor set of dudes, but don't want to spend a lot of money. Is it tactically sound to take 5 scourges with 4 dark lances, as apposed to a ravager with 3? Ravagers are $47 here but scourges are $25. Also I don't plan on deep striking with them, I have that slot reserved for mandrakes.

>>54850981
Hard H for me

>inb4 gw comes out and says "the winners of Konor must also suffer a loss. Therefore, Ultramar, will fall to Nurgle"

>>54850985
I like Scourges more than Ravagers personally, although my lists generally consist of Raiders full of Warriors or Trueborn.

>>54850961
Holy shit top kek.
Damn shame Khorne didn't get some kind of stratagem to force opponents to charge you.

Out of curiosity whats everyones stance on the next codexes to be released? They said 10 before christmas, so do you think they will try to cover the major factions with the remaining 6 or do you think that they will pump out SM chapters and Chaos sunfactions (tzeentch khorne slannesh)

>>54851004
And nothing of value will be lost, that sounds like a win win to me.

>>54851004
>Thinking Matt Ward will ever stop sucking smurf dick
Oh how young and naive

>>54850985
I hope you're not planning on WYSIWYG with just a single box of scourges because you only get the one lance. Anyway, Lance scourges are solid. They're not as durable as a Ravager, but they're still mobile and have an extra shot. I would recommend 2 boxes, if only to pad out the squad with ablative bodies because you start losing firepower after 2 failed saves.

so before this escalate further ... when dafuq are the pdf versions of the new books coming out?

>>54851010
I think we all expect most of them to be Space Marine chapters, but we might see IG or a xeno faction as well.

Could somebody please measure the height of an ogryn model for me (not including the base obviously)?

>>54851010
I hope they release all the main factions first before getting into sub factions, but since Grey Knights got one and Death Guard are next, my hopes don't look good.

>>54851004
If that actually happened I'm pretty sure all the ultramarine fags would riot and Matt Ward would kill himself

>>54851032
Ibreally hope its not just more SM amd chaos shit personally. Seems like a real waste to me

>>54851004
the first half makes sense
but I don't see them pulling the second half off so soon after Cadia

>>54851010
Im hoping for
IG
Nids
Orks
AdMech
Tau
Eldar

>>54851048
Look at it this way: Once all the SM/Chaos stuff is out of the way, they have to devote a few months to everyone else. It might be far away, but hopefully it'll be a lot of interesting stuff next year.

>>54851006
>Damn shame Khorne didn't get some kind of stratagem to force opponents to charge you.
That'd only really work if you had a special ability that made your forces go first even when charged.

Because there are a couple factions out there (mainly Orks, who are the top-tier of 8e so far, and Nids) whose fight phase consists of grabbing fistfuls of dice and rolling for hits and wounds these days, along with having a decent WS+ to back it up.

>>54850905
I take it this is comedic exaggeration and ADB isn't actually that big of a Chaos wanker, in both senses of the term.

>>54851077
I'd assume they're overwritten entirely by the new army rules in the codex. But what rules like that from the index aren't in the codex?

>>54851071
Yeah i suppose getting it out the way would be nice but the thought of having to wait another 6 months for a codex because chaos need 5 books and SM need 5-6 books pisses me off quite alot

>>54851077
I believe the official word is "buy some chaos marines before we do a recall and destroy".

>>54851075
Well you'd have to be careful when using it then.
It'd honestly be pretty good, your zerkers might lose some to the enemies charge but at least you get two fight phases.
I play Emperor's Children though, so I can pump out just as many attacks with my bullshit.

So what's the deal with GK models?

Purgation, Purifier, and Strike teams are the same. Interceptors are the same with different backpacks.

Paladins and Terminators are the same but Paladins have different helmets and those little banner things over their heads? Do you think people would be mad if I ran paladins without those little banners? They look like they're one stiff breeze from breaking off, just like the little things sticking off the Interceptor backpacks.

So now that the CSM codex is out, how does one make a strong Iron Warriors style list?

>>54850961
That's fairly interesting, memery aside. Chaos influence on Xenos is something you don't see much, and corrupting the Tau of all people into trying melee might actually be a viable strategy. Inb4 they start a faction of mini Farsights.

Thanks for the snippet anon.

>>54851021
>storm of chaos

When cons get nerfed will the Sniper get worse?

>>54850985
As >>54851014 mentioned, you're going to have WYSIWYG issues unless you buy or have extra bits or extra Dark Lances.

That aside, in practice I find they're not as good as a Ravager, but they're not terrible either.

The pros are an extra shot and the potential for deep striking where you need to go, but the -1 to hit when moving hurts and they fold really fast under fire.

>>54851112

Oh yeah I meant actual model wise, like the plastic/metal. Not their rules. I have a copy of the Codex sitting next to me.

>>54851106
>>54850961
Guys we have seen this before. The Khorne daemon lord at the end/final fight of "Fire Warrior" , infected Kais with Khornate rage forcing Kais to leave cover and charge the daemon. The daemon toyed around with the enraged Kais slicing off his arm. However, taint did not stick to Kais. See below.

>''The daemonlord sensed something was wrong. The bloodlust it had gifted to the tau creature was waning. It evaporated like water, unclouding the tiny morsel’s mind and leaving it cold and sharp: a dagger of focus that no amount of insidious corruption could ever penetrate''

>''It didn’t matter. A pure tau died just as easily as a tainted one''

-Fire Warrior

The Tau are innocent of evil that infects other races. The taint of Chaos doesn't have much of a purchase on their souls. t's much harder to corrupt a Tau than it is to corrupt a human.

>>54851106
The CSM book is pretty solid it seems, the NL and AL pieces are pretty awesome too
I'm glad there is xenos interaction in it

>>54851125
Different guy here; ordered some blue stuff and miliput so that I could make Dark Lances for any Scourges I get, and kit out my Trueborn however I want without worrying about paying for extra bits.

>>54851110
Well, what specific army rule? If there is nothing in the codex that seems to replace it, it sounds like the rule was just in the index to keep things competitive until the codex rules took their place in other ways. But without a specific example, I don't think anyone can look it up to be sure.

>>54851101
>Do you think people would be mad if I ran paladins without those little banners?
nah, you're good

But you should do something to separate your paladins from regular terminators. A change of heraldry, a more elaborate paint scheme, just something to keep them apart on the tabletop.

>>54851151
The CSM and daemons literally admit they are literally evil.

The new CSM codex rapes the fluff. It has Lucius possessing a necron and it has Khorne resurrecting dark eldar who are known to be slaaneshi servants.

>>54851157

By feeding her the souls of others.

Didn't catch a chance in the last thread but I thought it would be worth mentioning. I don't mind the Tau being noblebright in the world as long as it's noted that they really are fucking tiny and would get mulched if any main faction gave a fuck. That's why they have to be nice diplomats: they're young and have no power and could easily turn into the hellscape of any other faction if given enough power to be corrupted by.

>>54851181
There are Slaanesh cultist DEldar that still hate her, they just find the best way to stave him off is to feed her the souls of other people.

Dark Eldar are scared shitless of Slaanesh, that's why they use torture to stay alive.
That reminds me for whatever reason, how bullshit would it be for a human to torture two Dark Eldar Wyches and two Harlequin Players and two Craftworld Howling Banshees so much that they'd willingly give their souls to Slaanesh just to escape them?
because that's my Daemon Prince's back story and I plan on converting six Heralds to match said story using those three kits and I already have one Wych Herald of Slaanesh

>>54851212

WAIT WHAT?!

>>54851153

The Terminator models have the option for that little heraldic plate thing (the shield) on their left pauldron, I was thinking of only putting that on the Paladins to differentiate them.

>>54851212
Yes, and if you spend Command Points before battle starts you could have more.

>“You and the Space Marine. My two choices. I called you to my side and you came, like faithful

>“You wouldn’t begrudge me a little blood before you die, would you? I must drink of the host
— a corrupted host — before assuming its flesh. That’s how it works, little thing. It would be such a pity to damage you any more than necessary…”

>The body drifted forwards, coruscating energies ebbing from its wide eyes and leering mouth, a blaze of skin and fire. In its hand the dagger was a slash of light. Kais couldn’t even breath, frozen solid by the very fury and rage that had sustained him. Betrayed by his own blood. Deceived by his own mind.

>“Kais,” a voice said. “Kais, look up.”

>He obeyed and there, hanging suspended far above him in the air, spread-eagled and glowing with purity and peace, radiant and glorious and unified and balanced and perfect, was Aun’el T’au Ko’vash.

>“Kais,” he called out, voice full of exhaustion and effort. “Even when broken, a sword may still cut.”

Complete bullshit. DEldar do WHATEVER IT TAKES specifically to avoid Slaanesh. Craftworlders have shaped their entire society for millenia around destroying any sense of physical attachment or desire - even to life - to avoid Slaanesh. Harlequins' souls already belong to Cegorach.

I've never really been interested in Chaos, so I'm not 100% sure how they're organized in the codexes. Are you certain that rule would be covered in the codex that's out, and not a later one? What do cult marines count as in the codex? If it was for this book, and not covered at all... give it a week or two for the first FAQ to come out for it, cause I haven't seen mention of it before now.

>The Aun closed his eyes and serenity enveloped Kais like a warm cloud, filling his mind with peace and purity and the glowing features of the ethereal. Was there a taste, he wondered? A faint scent taste that rushed through his body like warm j’hal nectar, cleansing and purifying.

>The ethereal smiled from on high and Kais was free. Invisible bonds fell away, the Mont’au shrivelled and died. He could move again. He could raise his gun again.

>“For the Greater Good,” he said, and shot the thing that had once been Severus in its heart.

-Fire Warrior.

As you can seem, the Greater Daemon in the novel attempted to possess Kais. He held Kais in his place via using his own emotional turmoil against him. However, the Ethereal intervene and cleansed Kais the taint of Chaos and the daemon's control. Similiarily to what we have seen in the CSM codex even with the 6 Ethereals.

So we can summarize from this that as long as Ethereals are a thing, the Tau will never fall to Chaos. Also that the Ethereal are anti-Chaos.

Sharing more stories

>Twisted Justice

>After millennia of slaughter, the Night Lords warmonger Anvrex Rarth becomes disenchanted with indiscriminate violence. He vows to embody his Primarch’s early days, punishing only those whom he believes deserve it – but doing so with such grievous acts of retribution that none who hear of them dare stray from the path of righteousness. For a time, he finds a kind of peace, but his notions of morality are broken beyond repair. Within the year he is wreaking the most terrible of atrocities as a response to everything from the breaching of shipping contracts to the incorrect pronunciation of High Gothic.

>The Eternal Duellist

>Lucius the Eternal leads a motley warband across the galaxy on the trail of the deadliest opponents his network of admiring torture-cultists can locate for him. He intends to hunt down the best melee fighters in the galaxy and beat them in one-on-one combat or die in the attempt. Over the course of several centuries he defeats the Dark Eldar Archon Vraesque in cursed Shaa-dom, the Emperor’s Champion of the Black Templars at Veilfate, and the Ork Warboss Two-klaws at Octarius Sigma.
>Eventually, on a nameless moon near Damnos, Lucius is cut down by the shape-shifting Necron duellist known only as the Phasing Sword. Not even the Necron’s body of living metal can prevent the Slaaneshi champion’s strange possession-curse from taking hold, however, for it takes a cold pride in its victory, and that is the seed of its undoing. Lucius is reborn inside his killer within days, the xenos warrior’s body drizzling away to reveal the twisted swordsman, as arrogant and maniacal as ever.

>Eventually, on a nameless moon near Damnos, Lucius is cut down by the shape-shifting Necron duellist known only as the Phasing Sword

This part makes the whole "bursting out of a necron" at least a little more plausible to me; it wasn't some random warrior who caught him in a barrage of gauss fire, it was a specific duelist necron with a fancy name and everything; newcrons being what they are it seems reasonabe it'd feel pride in beating some flesh scrub

>>54851271
You'd have to destroy their means of escape to give their souls to Slaanesh. For the Dark Eldar, just kill them like normal, or let them sit and suffer and starve without giving them any way of inflicting suffering or agony on others. For the Craftworlders, you'll need to strip them of their spirit stones, and destroy them. For the Harlequin - they might actually willingly give their souls to Slaanesh, as part of Cegorach's big plan.

>>54851299

>>54851335
In the novels it's said that Necron emotions are digital analogs. Ones and zeroes are not emotions. They aren't really feelings. And once again, they are soulless. So it's nonsensical for the Warp to hone in and possess something it cannot see.

>Bonus to chopping imperials warlord trait only useful against imperials.
To be fair imperials are a damn common enemy, but yeah they got shafted for the most part

>Gladius Anathema

>Upon the quarantined world of Gladius, the Drukhari Wych Cult of the Seventh Woe fight their way into the great fang-lined fighting pits of the World Eaters in search of a challenge. The violent duels that result are amongst the fastest and most vicious that Gladius’ Daemon Prince masters have ever seen. Though dozens of Wyches and World Eaters die upon one another’s blades, Khorne is pleased by the intensity of the carnage, and blesses the occasion with a rain of blood that brings the dead back to life. A bond of wary respect is forged between the two factions, ultimately leading to the invasion known as the Great Blood Wager of Anathema Quartus.

>In most Chapters, command of each Demi-company falls to a Lieutenant, who leads his brothers unflinchingly into battle. Some Space Marine Chapters assign additional roles for Lieutenants. The Salamanders, for example, have given these warriors a ceremonial duty as bodyguards to their company's Captain, the three fighting as one. Within the Iron Hands Chapter they are charged as Naysmiths, questioning their Captain's battle plans so as to probe for human errors within his logic.

I figured it would be unlikely, and she did take away spirit stones and torture them, a lot.
I wrote that it took her ages just capturing those specific Eldar, then took her almost equally as long to torture them to the point they were begging for death, even if Slaanesh could have their souls just so the torture would end.
She was a psyker already too, so there was some warp rituals embedded into the torture.
The entire point of it was that it was an impressive enough feat that Slaanesh gave her daemonhood for it and let her have Heralds made from their souls as her servants for a bonus reward.
>>54851441
It's part of a character creation/campaign thing my LGS is doing.
She was originally trying to join sisters of battle, but they noticed her psychic potential, decided she would be dangerous and shipped her off to the black ships.
An Emperor's Children warband, under the guidance of a sorcerer using divination, crashed the ship they were using to transport her, and some other prisoners, with a dreadclaw, told the psykers aboard their Sorcerer had a premonition about a psyker becoming useful to their god existing on the ship, and recruited them, she actually ended up being the useful one, using psychic enhancing drugs and stolen Sister Power Armor, repainted to match her allegiance, to go about being a useful psyker for the Emperor's Children.

>>54851506
If GW finally does Chaos Eldar and it's all Slaanesh, I'm going to be pretty ticked off because every other god works better for them because of how Slaanesh works in relation to the Eldar.

Why would a god that's just going to eat you anyway ever grant you boons, regardless of how much you pray?

Alpha stuff is pretty good

>I Am Alpharius

>Word reaches the High Lords of Terra of a Chaos Lord claiming to be Alpharius ravaging the adamantium-laced moons of the Danevra Sub-sector. Debate rages about whether this could potentially be the case, for the Primarch’s death has been recorded more than once across the span of Imperial history. The Grand Master of the Officio Assassinorum dispatches a force of six Vindicare marksmen. Over a number of years they identify and slay a dozen Alpha Legion champions bearing the name of Alpharius upon the scrolls of their battle plate, but the reports of raids upon the sub-sector’s mining operations only intensify. Five years later, the decapitated heads of all six Vindicare Assassins are found frozen in the food storage halls of the High Lords.

>Dreams of the Serpent

>A plague of nightmares engulfs the psyker-rich world of Seer’s Rest. Each of the planet’s oracles, hedge wizards and soothsayers reports having the same recurring dream – that of a rain of serpents that covers the land. Such is the intensity of these dreams that the subconscious gestalt of the planet’s psykers manifests them in reality, and the planet’s populace is halved in a day. Millions die to venomous snake bites before the psykers fall into a fugue state and the rain stops. The Adeptus Arbites investigation finds, too late, that the atmosphere processors of the world’s terraforming engines have been spiked with psychotropic gas. When the Alpha Legion descend to destroy what remains of the planet’s guardian provosts and Astra Militarum regiments, the storm of psychic energy intensifies to such a degree that Seer’s Rest is reclassified as a Daemon world. The Alpha Legion abduct thousands of comatose psykers.

Is it worth investing into a world eater army? I already have 3 dreadnoughts, a berserker unit, and a demon prince. Its either that or tyranids, Im undecided.

Because they know they're going to get their return no matter what? If you achieve glory in your name then that's a plus, if they die you just eat them and get the power back. Win/win. Eldar are Slaanesh's ideal mortal servants.

Actually, Khorne, Nurgle, and Mr. T could use that as a way to get an advantage over Slaanesh. Also they can be offering some sort of alternative to 'being part of tranny vore porn' as a great recruitment method.

>but it doesn't say I can't use rules from the index

Can I choose to use the rules and/or points for units from my index instead of the new ones in the codex once released?
In your own games, if you and your opponent agree, you can, of course, play with whatever rules you like.

In all future publications and official events though, it will be assumed that you’re using the most recent rules and Datasheets.

>>54851550
8th Edition is friendly to ANY ARMY COMPOSITION.
There are FOCs with an HQ and two of any slot as the minimum.
You can just do a hero and all fucking tanks now, anything goes! No special characters needed, no specific factions. Just do your Slaanesh Lord and you Vanguard detachment of Noise Marines and be happy.

If you set them up properly, and then torture them to season Slaanesh's meal with a nice dose of suffering, excess, and agony, then I could see the Daemonhood rising. Also, your LGS is way cooler than mine. As it is, aside from myself, the only other person who isn't playing some variant of Space Marines is a friend of mine who just bought an army and hasn't even finished assembling it yet.

>>54851533
Mind, Slaaneshi Eldar who embrace their fate as part of/food for Slaanesh and play it up could work well too, but the other three all line up pretty well with lots of aspects of the Eldar.

>>54851554

This guy had the right answer >>54851564

But yes, by all accounts they're handling themselves pretty well

How do you deal with players getting butthurt ?

We had a casual 8e 500 point tournament . I brought a dakka pred , a techmarine , a dread and five marines . My opponent had a bunch of plasma vets with rerolls, a tauros with missiles, some bullgryns and some hot shot lasgun guard.

He quit midway through the first turn after I killed about five guardsmen with a predator , loudly accusing me of being cheesy for bringing tanks to a 'combat patrol'. (We had no restrictions on what to bring and there's no real way to translate combat patrol into 8th)

I felt bad at first but then when he loudly got butthurt again because one of our Tyranid players , who is super casual and *not that great* brought a toxicrine and old one eye and 'you shouldn't bring monstrous creatures to combat patrol' I realised he was just getting pointlessly angry during a tournament that was meant to be fun.

>>54851543
I mean, Alpha stuff is always pretty good. Ever read the Alpha section in Traitor Legions?

>>54851004

>Though the Imperium had won victory everywhere the enemy had set foot through the Realm of Ultramar, it could not be denied that the troops who had stalwartly defended those worlds could only be provided at the expense of other worlds. Across Ultramar, planet after planet had been stripped of defenders to stem the tide of Chaos that had swept through the sector from Konor to Talasa. No planet had been more denuded than Macragge itself, for where-else could the best warriors be found to defend the sector than from the homeworld of the Ultramarines?

>Yet it was only as the weary defenders of Konor allowed themselves a moment of respite as the tide receeded that the devestating machinations of Chaos were finally revealed. Two score of astropaths began to gibber inanely, each repeating seemingly meaningless words until a Magos Biologus realized that they were speaking the names of every known disease, over and over again. Other astropaths began to report hearing strangely choaked cries in the Warp, as if the voices were drowing in phlemgm. When the truth behind these signals was finally made manifest, the effect was devestating. The Konor campaign, indeed, the entire attack on the 500 worlds, had been nothing but a diversion. It was Ultramar, on Macragge itself, that the true hammer blow had fallen. The wretched few who escaped the world's fall spoke of endless legions falling upon the few remaining defenders in an unstoppable tide.

>>54851581
Lets spell this out for you.

GW have stated clearly that codex replaces indexes.

An exception is offered for units or weapon options that are in the index but not the codex.

There is no other exception for using index material.

>>54851564
Ive had my berserkers for 10 years. Even found legless Jimmy hanging out with some unpainted Thousand Sons and Ahriman.

I have a Tyranid Army Im also working on but after I read the Khorne rules I doubted my tyranid love.

>>54851592
But that sounds retarded. You keep harping on this, and all for a few more command points?

Shit, maybe you'll get a different answer in Chapter Approved, but considering how hung up you are on this, I kinda hope you don't. Not just accepting the rules as they are for such a minor advantage really comes off as childish.

Here is something you do have as an option: Play a codex army or an index army.

>>54851595
That player sounds like an ass. Tell him to go to hell.

>>54851214
Why is it that humans/marines get to be enhanced by chaos and eldar are just eaten? Why not use the eldar as tools like they do with CSM's?

>>54851591
My LGS is pretty cool, the campaign is gonna be kind of standard campaign but everyone is in teams of two, sharing a keyword, and makes a character using one of the datasheet characters modified slightly, my daemon prince for example with have lower strength and wounds than standard, but 6 attacks base. My teammate is running Chaos Khorne, using CSM and Daemons in different detachments like me.
Our reason for our characters working together is they're competing to see who can tear the Imperium apart better.
There is one player who just brings a shitload of tanks to every game, it's kind of annoying.

Also, they are literally Helbrute, they don't have their own Dataslate, so Fire Frenzy works on them.

Absolutely glorious.

>>54851626
Oh, that sounds really fun. I'd see if my LGS would want to do something like that, but a lot of the people there, while mostly chill, want to minimize the creativity involved with their armies. Aside from a friend of mine and myself, everyone runs standard-painted Space Marine chapters and Chaos Space Marine legions, taking major characters whenever possible.

I disagree that they look heinous, but there's a big disconnect between the current designs that have a lot of organic elements like the fleshy piping and writhing faces, and the current csm kit that are marines with some fun spiky bits.

The GW photos don't really do the kit justice, they actually look really good in person. There IS a distinct lack of weapon options, however.

The new raptor kit is really nice, I'd love a kit in that vein for a ten man squad with full weapon options.

They're indeed <Legion> so any army can use them, and other than Legion Traits (and a few restrictions on Marks with specific legions), there are no significant differences between generic Legions.
However, it is worth noting that the Thousand Sons and Death Guard legions aren't included here, implying that they're getting their own codices, with more elaborate rules (and in all likelihood, Rubrics as Troops for the 1K Sons).

Cool but I'm thinking of running around 200 at minimum though with some marines backing them up.

No.

Either Emperor's Children or Word Bearers.

1500pts - 2000pts

Backed up by foot slogging marines, mainly chosen, noise marines/possessed depending on legion, led by a Dark Apostle or Lucius the Eternal.

I'll have the money in a couple of weeks. Won't play a game until they are painted.

>>54852085
Would the Dark Apostle count as scummy in that case? If so I'd probs switch him out for an Exalted or something but good to hear.

Like I said above, not playing them until they get fully painted.

an exalted champion would be the go to warlord if my list was primarily close combat, correct?

Can someone tell me what Necromunda actually is?

from what I've heard its a larger version of Shadow War with more depth in all of its pre and post-game systems, yea?

In that case, what are these factions and models they posted? Can i use the models/factions i already own to play (Similar to how Shadow War did it)?

lastly, I wonder what those necromunda models can be used as outside of necromunda- are they more associated with the imperial guard or what?

I know people bitch about 1d4 but its a pretty good rundown in this instance

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Necromunda

Basically underhive gang war skirmish, big on keeping track of your individual dudes; maybe one guy gets a flesh wound in last weeks shoot out and is laid up for a while, while his mate knifed some guy coming around a corner and learned a new trick to twisting the blade; that kind of thing.

Fun if you can get a campaign going, and I'm optimistic the GW stores will run some at least early on in the release schedule

The models they posted are two of the gangs, each has its own gimmick and style, you've also got outliers like cults and mutants and arbites as factions.

>>54851842
Those minis look like shit and there's probably about a 1000 different 3rd party options that look better, but hey, at least it's something that isn't space marines.

This and staying with 7th literally killed Horus Heresy

>>54852150
>from what I've heard its a larger version of Shadow War with more depth in all of its pre and post-game systems, yea?
Pretty much.
It's set on a hive world called Necromunda. It's in the same universe as 40k, but none of the armies you're familiar with. The gangs are mostly houses of Hive Primus (house Escher, Cawdor etc) plus some unusual ones like scavvies (underhive dregs). Think a combination of Mad Max and urban cyberpunk for the general atmosphere.

>>54852041
How do they get such rich tones and depth in those metals

>>54852124
if half (200 is 1000 points) or more of your army is conscripts that's waac and if you into a pickup game with that unless your opponent also brought a waac list then it's pretty bullshit.
Fine for tournaments but for casual/pickup games 25% of your army as conscripts is a reasonable limit.

no

Shadow war IS necromunda, just with the main armies instead of the hive gangs.

You could easily port some of the pre/post game stuff from necromunda to shadow war if you wanted to, but hive gangs don't operate on the same level as the shadow war kill teams. It's scraggly scum battling it out.

The arbites only got half their patrol in any given game, because guys stomping around with tricked out bolt guns and carapace armour were a big fuckin' deal.

>>54852194
>KDK book
I seriously doubt they will be a thing again.
If they are, then not any time soon.
Buy the Index/Codex

Literally the only good thing about necromunda is that it might mean new arbites figures

nobody gives a fuck about specialist games

>>54852180

But what sets it apart from Shadow War: Armageddon other than setting?

Shadow War had similar things like head wounds and acquired skills albeit I bet they're simpler versions than what Necromunda would bring, but I don't mind the simplicity if it lets me focus on the game.

I don't like these models at all. I want to play 40k, not Mad Max
