Summoning nurgle daemons. 20 or 30 plaguebearers?

20 means they get -1 to hit but lose it with one death. 30 means its harder to get rid of, but harder to summon.

Both are pretty susceptible to morale.

>>54874778
Ork clans feel so bolted on and pointless.

Orks fight themselves anyway, why add clans to it? Doesn't seem very necessary to their fluff. If removed, what changes?

Their specializations seem pointless too. I can never remember what any of them are apart from Goffs and Snakebites.
>>
>>54874751
They're quite good but stormravens are also very good

You probably don't want to bet on deep striking your entire paladin force and 7 Paladins + ancient in a crusader can be teleported across the field with gate anyway
>>
>>54874719
Executioner is only good if you're also taking another tank commander as Pask, or you have Harker/Yarrick in your army to help you re-roll 1s. If you never overcharge it, it's still all right for making sure infantry never have much of an armor save.

Punisher with Multi-Meltas and Lascannon is my personal favorite combo. Battle Cannon is okay. Exterminator isn't very strong, but it's reliable. Demolisher is also solid, but I save it for Pask because you usually only get D3 shots. I always want more range for my Lemans, but then we use so much terrain that my LoS is blocked anyway, so Punisher has always been the best for me.

I save the range for Basilisks and Manticores.

Daemons disrupting legions traits is a meme anyway. As long as all <legion> troops are of the same legion you get a legion trait, it doesn't matter if you included daemons or not.
>>
>>54874776
I mean with the drop from 5/10/15 to 4/8/12 your chances of 10/20/30 models went from 98%/62%/9% to 99%/83%/37%

Good, it's the one non-negotiable part of the Second Founding, any chapter openly increasing it's numbers beyond 1500 marines would be seen as preparing for rebellion.

They are. But, like, you pick three big monsters and a bucket full of Termagants, then you add the total points together and go "what, 700 points? What am I going to fill the rest with?" Everything is so hilariously cheap. You can take so much good stuff it's ridiculous. I mean, it gets kind of ridiculous when 7 Plague Marines with decent gear cost more than 30 Termagants with 10 Devourers and 20 Fleshborers.

You're only Ap -4 on 6s, and have the same attacks in the first round or combat, but only S3 with one damage, while Khorne is either 5 or 4 with more reliable Ap and chance for extra damage.

You're better against hordes, we're better against elites and vehicles. Works for me, at least Tzeench isn't objectively better this time.

>>54874950
"Chaos Space Marines" is the name of the codex, all units inside it are chaos space marine units and can form a chaos space marine detachment, that includes the four lesser daemon profiles.
There is no <chaos space marines> keyword.
>>
>>54874952
It's less that and more
>hey instead of upgrading our already super soldiers lets just make some super super soldiers instead
>>
>>54874857

For fucks's sake, you can have daemon troops in your original detachment AS WELL and keep Legion tactics.

All legion tactics requires is that everyone be from the same legion. Daemons do not have a fucking legion.

You cannot have Night Lords Raptors and Alpha Legion havocs. You will lose legion tactics.

You CAN have Night Lords Raptors, a fuckload of bloodletters, a giant chaos spawn, a great unclean one, and some renegade guard, and STILL. KEEP. LEGION. TACTICS.
>>
Pulse rifles or pulse carbines for fire warriors?

reposting for fallen bro in last thread:

Fallen can join either imperial or chaos armies because they have both keywords but honestly the "fallen" unit itself is limited and not that great so just do what I and many others have done and model up some pre-heresy dark angels and make lists using only units that have imperial/chaos counterparts such as god hammer land raiders, predators, rhinos, devastators/havocs, assault/raptors, tactical marines. Its not hard but it takes a bit of book keeping to have a playable army that can switch sides on a coin toss

>Purity of Cause
>Endeavouring to forget the corruption of the previous millennium, the Adeptus Ministorum seek penance by conquering the xenos-filled Benedictine Sub-sector. The Black Templars send their entire Chapter to fight alongside five orders of Sisters of Battle and massed armies of faith.
>Several Aeldari worlds are captured, and in the ensuing conflicts, two High Marshals are slain in swift succession. The Ecclesiarch himself declares an end to the war, claiming that they had achieved enough in the Emperor’s name and recalling his armies. New High Marshal Constantine continues the crusade regardless, and the Black Templars alone successfully cleanse the remaining worlds of xenos.

Fulgurite Electropriests. 2x10 or 1x20? Anyone ever ran enough at once to try the full block, or even ran them at all? How'd they do?

Sadly the big HQ's are all just essentially beat sticks.
The leadership bonus is okay but because they can be targetted and ripped apart by lascannons, you really need to either get them in there fast, or summon them in closer if you can.

I assume that's a Plaguespitter, since it looks similar to a Lascannon and when the Bloat Drone was first seen, people assumed it too would have Lascannons. Also, thanks to the new Plague Marines datasheet I assume that's a Bubotic Axe he's holding.

The box will probably be a dual kit of 1) Scythes + wrist-mounted peashooter and 2) gunk guns and plague melee weapons, so basically Deathshrouds and not-quite-Grave Wardens.

I have not run any Fulgurite Electro-Priests, but the Corpuscarii were shockingly amazing when I used them. I played vs genestealer cult and a unit of 10 of them ended up getting 40 hits on a patriarch and his buddies. So far, I have yet to have a unit of them fail to blast anything to kingdom come when they open fire on it.

I never played Electro-Priests before 8th because of how garbage they were in the previous edition, but I think now they are finally worth using.

Fulgurites in a large group seem like they'd dish out a ridiculous amount of mortal wounds. If your opponent if directing firepower at the Electro-Priests, they are not firing at your big guns. With a 5++ and a 5+ ability to ignore wounds, they are oddly more resilient vs scarier, heavy guns than they are vs small arms fire.

Maybe consider applications as a distraction-carnifex type unit?
>>
>>54875209
Well, I'd keep them in one big blob, since the chance for them to actually wipe a unit is vastly improved in a bigger unit. You also don't have transport limits to worry about since AdMech doesn't have transports. There's some fucking silver lining.

I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and start buying for the tabletop. I want to make a Black Legion army so I figured I would start with the Start Collecting set, it contains:
1 Chaos lord/Sorcerer in Terminator Armor
1 squad CSM
1 Hellbrute
I don't really want to go for 2000 pts until after I have a few games under my belt and the models painted, but are there any models that would be recommended to add? I really like the Defiler.

Defilers still cost more points than they are worth. It is split between ranged and melee, but will hit on 5+ when it moves. Vanilla CSMs while neat don't do a very good job so I've switched back to cultist squads for cheap troop choices for detachments. Havoks are good heavy support still. Spawn are very effective. Berzerkers and plague marines are pretty solid this edition. Predators are good.

Hey /tg/ want to run a successor chapter idea by y'all:

>Dark Angel Successors
>Diverts resources to their less-than-codex-compliant battle brothers
>Trades all of their Terminator Armor, rhino-chasis thanks, and most of their Power Armor to their brother chapters
>1st & 2nd companies wear power armor, rest wear scout armor
>Maybe adopt Samurai motif

Fluff them as fleet-based chapter that deploys to reinforce Astra Militarum. Maybe add Primaris Marines, saying they got the ones the other chapters didn't trust. Use Raven Guard tactics to make the most of what they have.

What do y'all think?

Normally I'd accuse you of being a whiny bitch, but considering all the awesome stuff Word Bearers have in 30k, yeah, I guess you're not wrong.

What if you were to take a defiler, strap all the flames you can to it, then use the sneaky beaky Alpha Legion deployment? Could walk up and burn a unit to tears, then charge a transport or something in turn one.
>>
>>54875682
Yes, but nothing that justifies it. Right now you cannot even use Codex Stratagems as Thousand Sons, so currently all you can do with your Command Points is the Counter Attack thing (which is worthless for TS), the morale passing thing (which is useless for TS with the exception of Tzaangors) and the reroll (which is once per phase and you have no one big gun to justify using it on). Just take a smaller detachment so you can leave out some of those tax units and take something actually useful.

It's an abstraction, m8. Enemies aren't expected to be standing frozen during your turn, or all your shooting attacks would be auto hits as well.

Hitting something that is mobile and sees you coming is a lot harder than you think, anon.

>>
>>54875511
40 hits is approx 1/3 above what the mathhammer says they should be rolling, but I think I've been seriously underestimating what kind of damage they'll put out through sheer volume of S5 hits. A full squad of 20 rerolling ones should dish out 70 S5 hits, which is 32 dead Boyz even with a Painboy, or 30 dead Conscripts. I think they're perhaps the best anti-horde we have given they'll basically NOPE light vehicles or 3-4 termies too, but range limitations are kinda crippling. I don't think there's anything saying that Tesla doesn't trigger on Overwatch this edition, is there? Effective BS4 overwatch isn't bad.

As for the Fulgurites, I'm mostly worried that that many light infantry when I normally only have ten or so Vanguard just screams "Here, have a target for all your stormbolters, flamers, secondary dakka weapons like Crawler stubbers and AI squads". Probably will blob them up, though, since >>54875567 and because I REALLY want to mulch Guilliman or someone like him at some point, and ten would struggle to do that. They're there to Distraction Carnifex and be a big "No Melee Here" sign for smashy things that eat the Kastelans and Destroyers with their puny AP- attacks for dinner.

Not even that foolishness, they were not considered titan scale vehicles because they didn't have the same power, durability, or weapon strength.

>>54875003
They're the lowest of the underdogs. Even guard have a better chance, at least they can become heroes of the imperium. The absolute best case for a cultist is they live long enough to raise a family of mutant kids and watch them get eaten by what they were expecting to be their salvation.
>>
>>54875209
They're alright, not as fantastic as people say- they can hit like a truck, but you need at least ten for them to do so, and expect heavy losses of the bat.

They die to bolter and lasgun fire easily, so what I've found best is to keep them in your advancing 'line' in cover and out of LOS and soon as they get close push them straight into the enemy line so you can wipe a unit and grab that 3++. Even with that, stay away from guns, try to just hop combats- ideal situation is vs stuff like termies, since Str of attacks means nothing and lower chance of hits, the better. Great against Nids tho
>>
>>54876327

Unless the codex really fucks this up, 8th can be a great edition for IG. Infantry are finally worth taking, so IG armies won't all be tank parking lots.

Except that goes against the Unforgiven Umbrella.

Where Dark Angel Successor Chapters are successors in name only, they still report up to Azrael, only pretending to be chapters, but effectively a legion.

Now I'm not the biggest Dark Angel lore expert. But I can't imagine that if a Dark Angel chapter purposely said "Nah we're going to go do our own thing. And we gave away 100+ priceless suits of Terminator Armour. That the Dark Angel Legion wouldn't make them disappear.

While say a Raven Guard successor chapter that focuses on Scouts and low on supplies (forced to give Battle Brothers Scout Armour) is easier to follow.

>>
>>54876357
Yeah, I see a lot of relatively elite armies in my meta due to people really liking Terminators, Marines in general and big mechs. Last game I had was against DG, 1400 points had Leviathan, Plague Hulk, 5 Termies, 10 Plague Marines, a Rhino and 2 HQs. That's only 20 bodies for the whole army, and the only hordes seem to be Nids and Ork players. Also lots of Primaris, who struggle a bit against hordes unless they get their hands on multiple Redemptors and Repulsors. Inceptors will probably not quite cut it, since that's only four dead Priests.

Think there's a couple IG dudes, though. I'll have to be damned careful of them because they slaughter the Fulgs en masse.

>>54876495

That's possible? According to my index the cheapest Baneblade is 390 points without any wargear or guns at all, which would still be 780 points. Think you've been cheated, anon.

I wish abilities were more interesting.

I know 7th edition was cancer, but it had some interesting abilities at least. Everything in 8e seems rather bland.

Like in 7e, harlequins had a unit that could determine the direction that people would flee in, if they fled. That was fun. Now you just get to pick the first model to die. Which is cool, don't get me wrong, but kind of less valuable now that there aren't any characters attached to units.

The Masque of Slaanesh is another good example. She got a lot of the unique flavor of her abilities drained.

It's still an overall improvement over 7th though.

Theyre kind of a close combat glass cannon army. Unless you want to run vehicle spam youre relying on cult ambush to get close though, so they aren't reliable enough to be top tier, and will need guard or nid allies to take out flyers (although the faq makes simply eating everything on the ground viable).

They can be played as close combat guard or as rending spam. Massed rending is pretty fun.

I can see your point. Was mainly looking for an excuse to field an army of scouts. And make a chapter that pracrically personifies my frustations with work.

I figured they would be trading their armor with other DA chapters in exchange for landspeeders, scout bikes, and whatever they'd need to requisition codex compliant air support like stormtalons/ravens/interceptors.

The idea worked a bit better for 7th ed when I could add a DA allied detachment of a Company Master in Terminator Armor as their Chapter Master with a DW command squad entourage.

If I were to run it, I think I'd have their Company Masters still wear power armor, but maybe replace 4-5 companies with Primaris to be used for when they have to engage without Astra Militarum support.

Abel and Cain. The birth of the End of Empires.
The rise of the Emperor and him finding a Golden Throne powered by a captured sun.
The Horus Hersey.
The ascension of Abaddon
The beginning of the End.

It's all connected. They have orchestrated it all since the very beginning. That's why they are laughing. It's their story. It's their cosmic play being played out to its horrible finale. We never stood a chance. We are fools, all of us. FOOOLS AHHHHHH!

For a case, would it work to put steel washers or something in the bases and put them on a magnetized sheet/pad in a case? I've tried putting magnets directly in the bases, and unless they're properly aligned they cause models to pull together and move when you don't want them to(Could damage paint as well, but I'm not super attatched to my paint jobs)
As well, where can I find good cases for models? I've got a Citadel Skirmish one I'm rapidly outgrowing, and I'll need more space soon enough.

I'll probably do it anyway. If/when I get to it I'll post pictures or something. Thanks for the input, man.

Also, I seriously doubt it, but does anyone know if "Angels of the Aegis" is already taken for a chapter name?

It's rare in that each chapter can be expected to have about 15-40 suits, depending on circumstances. That's like 28,000 in the entire galaxy, maybe bump it to 30,000 to include all the lost suits or inquisitors who have them.

30,000 suits of armor in an empire with over a million planets is really rare but when the only people who can use them number about a million, it's not unreasonable to keep 20 of them in stock

Well to be honest it's half an asspull but there's hints at it anyway. The DA have to outfit their 200 odd dudes with the stuff and send out enough to keep all their successors' first companies in TDA and it's not like they're on great terms with the Admech to get it from them.
They do make successors for specific tasks so maybe a decoy chapter isn't such a bad idea after all. It would be like them to try and cover their trails and fudge the numbers
I've never heard of a chapter of that name so go for it, I'll keep an eye out for your progress if you ever get round to it

The DA have around 200 men in their first company and each one has a suit of terminator armour. Their successors mightn't have quite that many in their companies but each marine will still have his own personal terminator suit. The DA make up around 15% of chapters so that's about 150 successors and 15,000 suits of terminator armour for the Unforgiven alone

Wat are you doing.

Dude you fucking know that you can take special weapons and KEEP your Bike CombiBolter?

Also Bikes are perhaps the shootiest Unit you have aside from NoiseMarines or HB-Havocs and are absolutely mediocre in Closecombat as they have the same number of attacks as normal CSM.

I mean I guess youll never actually Use the Pistols so Swords are cool, but please for the love of chaos dont use them as dedicated assault units and dont replace their CombiBolters when you dont have to.

The melee choice is entirely thematic.
They'll be advancing 80% of the time so replacing the combi-bolters with assault weapons like flamers and meltas is just efficient. Plus there will still be bikers with combi-bolters.
But yes, they are entirely dedicated to assault, Icons of Excess along with maybe bike sorcerers casting prescience will ensure a shitload of attacks. Combine that with a 20" advance move, followed by being allowed to charge due to being a Renegade Warband.
They want to go fast and smell burning promethium while bullets fly around them. Every single unit is filled with adrenaline junkies.

Well, the "Supertech Space Communism" is basically the Culture, in that their state basically exists to keep everyone safe in hippieland and even the AIs that run it spend most of their processing power daydreaming because they're too OP for this universe. Contact and Special Circumstances are basically the extent of the "government".

Although I guess it isn't really even communism, it's pretty much post-scarcity so everyone just has as much shit as they feel they want.

youre paying 2 points for combibolters, 2/4 shots per model for 2points cant possibly be a bad investment

shooting with BoltPistols when you can fire x4 that many shots at their range is just like putting a rod in your wheels, literally.

Icon of Excess also only works when youre playing against Imperium.

there will be much more times where the opponent deploys smart enough that you wont be within 20+12" after moving around Terrain.And you get to shoot with both the combibolter and the Melta/flamer at once,

I mean dont get me wrong. I too plan on "spamming" Bikes in my ECs List but I really dont reccomend charging anything that isnt a huge blob of shooty guys just for the sake of preventing them from shooting.

just dont expect your 3man squads of Bikers to be ripping through units quickly, theyre fairly resilient in cc but not as killy as they are in shooting, especially not with extra weapons

They both are true, Tau could simply be happy living in a post-scarcity 1984 dystopia, most of them are probably thankful of the ever watching eye of the Ethereals.

Well, I am going to be taking them in large squad sizes, not just units of three.
Plus they're a legal target for delightful agonies.
It's more of a theme list than anything, plus I want to model and paint a bunch of chaos bikers with winged bikes, some winged champions, and all able to do wheelies on their bases.
The entire warband is more for theme and flavour than anything, and they'll basically just be a secondary detachment I take alongside my Emperor's Children army.
Just imagine Warp Timing them, Advance 40", one squad is going to be within assault range of whatever the hell I want.
>>
>>54878049
I'm starting to like Tau more and more. I'm just afraid I'll fuck the models up when I try to magnetize them. They also look like they're pretty expensive money-wise with all the huge mechs. Beyond the SC, what's a good starting point? Are Ghostkeels any good?

Welcome! Ok not bad for a first effort. I recommend watching a Dunc vid for the general process when painting a Space Marine, just substitute the colours you want to paint Your Guys in for the ones he uses in the video. Here's a vid where he paints the Primaris Captain, but the technique will work across all Space Marine minis

Tau themselves are WAY closer to 1984 than the Culture, since the Culture could quite easily wipe the floor with the entire 40k galaxy and the average citizen doesn't have to work ever, has implanted glands that can synthesize a few hundred types of drugs and a whole bunch of other things that basically make the Culture an extremely comfy place filled with sex and drugs and rock-and-roll. And nerds who play boardgames that are good enough to decide the fate of empires, too. I want to try Azad.

The Tau are nowhere NEAR post-scarity, in fact comparatively low levels of raw materiel and population are some of their biggest weaknesses, but they aren't at 1984 levels socially from what I've read, despite the caste system backed with eugenics and mind control. They're a bit more chill than that, but I admit it's not my lore forte.
As for Your Dudes, there's WAY more scope there than Daemons, which are pretty much the same regardless of how you fluff them unless you go all abstract like the Cubes of Tzeench guy, but the problem with Tau YDudes is the same as Marine Chapters, since their tech base is new and comparatively titchy even if it's roughly as advanced as the Admech, so we know almost exactly what they can do at any given time.

With the Admech, you can pull a dozen cool ideas out of literally one picture and have it justified because the Admech is Hueg and runs on pure SCIENCE!. I know a guy who took last post's pic related's "Cyber-hybrid Carnivora" to do cyborg dinosaur Ironstriders, for instance, and I'm working on an entire Divisio Genetor detachment. With Tau, you basically just pick a unit or four from the book they prefer and say "that's what my guys do", since there's not a huge amount of wiggle room.
Also, no big Titans or SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER superweapons, but that isn't really a tabletop concern. If your problem in the game is "My Tau'nars are being outclassed by too many Warlord Titans" I want to come to your club.
There's as much Your Dudes room as Marines, almost exactly, and they seem to get by. I guess I'm just addicted to converting shit, which isn't as much of a thing when you have Tau's much larger unit variety and basically all your lore has models save a few of the alien auxiliaries.

Also, these are the Cubes of Tzeench. Guy made a whole army out of melty polystyrene cubes in a bunch of different ways. Would be cool, but probably a bit of a pain to play with.

Warp time doesn't let you advance twice, so34" is all you got when 28" would be more than enough most of the time to get those extra 12shots in. and wouldnt it make more sense to msu them especially when playing assault to get more special weapons and champions with more attacks, if you really want to lose out on 2 extra attacks 2xchamp equip and 4 flamers run one Max size unit for buffs and stratagems and run the other bikesquads msu for efficiency. Bikes are great objective snatchers because of their small unit size speed and relative toughness

Admech, like I said, have a shit ton of leeway right up to "I made my planet into a Dyson Sphere around a massive reactor 'cause I thought it was cool", "I'm going to set fire to this nebula now", "Give me your citizens for servitorization or I will unleash my troops on you, get them maimed, augment them, send them out again, get them killed, bring them back as zombie robots and send them out AGAIN until I get my dudes", "I'm going to fly my Forge World into the Eye of Terror now", "Fuck you guys, I made this Void Whale into a battleship so I could take over a Hive World" and "I cloned your army with techno-snow and now you're getting chased by the Abominable Warhound Titan".

One of those didn't happen, so I decided to make it so anyway.
Anyway, they can justify making pretty much anything as a conversion and using any Imperial unit's rules to do it, because of 8e allies and the vast number of personal projects. In 30k they could steal any Lord of War from the Forge World books that was Imperial, and any Flyers or SH Flyers from anywhere, including Tau Mantas and Grey Knight Thunderhawks and such, as long as they made a suitable model/paint scheme.

Orks are the archetypal converter's army, since their Meks make a habit of looting absolutely everything. See: Mecha-Squigs, Deff Sqwadron, Looted Carnifexes and ATTACK MOONS.

Guard can pull troops from pretty much anywhere, so there's Feudal Worlds with knightly traditions and Fantasy Empire Musketmen with lasguns, plus every historical military under the sun probably has SOME rules somewhere.

Dark Eldar look sexy as hell, have Haemonculus crazy experiments to justify converting and live in Space Rapture under stolen suns with all the freedom that implies, so they're good too.

Once again it is a theme army.
But the large units are for some extra security during kill point games, good point about the msu though, one large squad and a few msu. I'm worried the msu will be focus fired at for kill points though.
The entire point of the army is I want to try assault bikes, and thought up this your dudes warband specifically for it thanks to the advance and charge renegade trait. Plus they're kind of more a supporting/backup detachment of mercenaries for my main force.
My only regret is I can't take power lances.

Plenty of armies make it with no melee units, however, they have many throw away units to eat charges and block charges. I hate fighting people who run away, so boring. I play Guard too, I just happen to love bum rushing in.

Just trying to give you some advice as I myself run a bunch of bikes (planning on even more)
My first bike squad was melee centric too. Then I realized I could take flamers and keep the combibolters

They are surprisingly tough to kill unless your opponent focuses a lot on them (like 12 heavy bolters 36/-1/1) to reliably kill a unit of 3

Kill points aren't in the most missions, and when playing with tactical objectives you can have a sm0l bike squad farming objective after objective by advancing

I do hope the emperor children get their own variety of bikes just like the dark angels did

Naw, I just going to keep playing but if I run in to anyone who's going to be like "AKTUWALLY the latest FAQ increased the price of cultists by 1 so your list Is 10 points over!" I'm just not going to play with them.

If people are going to be so anal about such pretty things they're not worth your time.

Where can I find the new rules for the void shield generator?
>>
>>54878958
I'd point it out so you know in future but I'd still play the game.
Being 10 points over because you didn't read the latest faq isn't a big deal.

And that's nice of you dude but there are tons of people out there who wouldn't.

I'm not going to spend hours printing out shit """corrections""" so I can fill my rule book with scraps of paper or even, heaven forbid, deface my book with a pen! Maybe I'd remember the one point rule for a couple of weeks but I'd forget eventually and write lists with the old values.

>>54879083
faq's don't tend to change point costs though so that shouldn't happen, so far it's almost entirely buffs that you want anyway
>>
>>54879083
Why do you need to print them? You are bitching about a problem that doesn't exist.
>>
>>54879106
Sure, but wasn't there something about changing the number of wounds a daemon prince has or something? I never bothered to look it up so I've most likely been "cheating" all this time but I really don't care, the FAQs are a fucking mess.

Q: Does "within one inch" also include "one inch"?!?!?!

A: ...Yes...

>LOL MOST PLAYTESTED EDITION EVER AMIRITE GUYS LOL DAY ONE FAQ LOL

The wound change was also a buff, they reduced it to 8 wounds, now it benefits from being behind your other dudes.

Are you having a stroke?

Sort of like someone not bothering to read and remember a simple FAQ that fixed RAW issues that had very obvious RAI interpretations?

You're being pretty anal about something so petty, yet vital to game mechanics. Without FAQs, you wouldn't even be able to use certain models as they are sold, such as special weapons Command Squads in 7E because GW forgot to give them chainswords in the codex. You don't have to print out anything, you just have to actually put in the effort to read the FAQ once a month and look for any important pink text, which they even highlighted for your lazy ass, and remember "Oh, hey, it looks like that obvious printing mistake was a mistake after all and you CAN have plasma guns on Command Squads." But according to you, RAW is law and models sold by GW can't be used in the game because you're too ANAL and PETTY to fucking READ, nigger.

>"according to you"
>not memorizing 20 pages of FAQs means you're throwing the whole thing out the window and trying to enforce the strictest interpretation of RAW possible!
>REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Have some common sense.

You are a fucking lazy idiot.
