Rate my shitty list. Dropped most of gun drones for shield drones and support turrets for more fire warriors. Should a one unit unit of my crisis suits carry flamers instead of blasters?

Didn't get this answered last thread so I'll just post it here.

So I am otherwise disappointed with what has become of Blood Angels but warming up to the idea of more fluff-play. Going to need to get more Sanguinary Priests and I am already painting up my Sanguinary Guard. But now I am thinking more on my assault dudes like Death Company and so on and wondering just how viable it is to equip some of them with inferno pistols. Obviously giving one Thunderhammer to a DC squad is well worth it but there is also something really good about having a DC marine being able to make two attacks with chainsword (3 if charging) and one attack with an inferno pistol with that bonus to being within melta range.

Even Hand Flamers seem kinda worth it now, even at S3 but with the possibility to hit 3 guys with it in combat it might be fair for the cost.

Thoughts?

Would the guy with the thunder hammer work as a chapter master?

Or maybe 8th company captain?

>>54906547
Man that'd be a awful color scheme.

>>54906598
It takes a lot of skill to paint a bad scheme well, 90% just end up a smear of colour at TT range.

>>54906595

My problem is I have ideas for ten captains but there's one model extra that I cant fit in my plans.

Since the guy with the thunder hammer is the most blinged up ( has heresy era gear) I thought maybe it'd be a good chapter master.

>>54906620

The problem is that's the only model with sculpted 2nd company parts.

Since combi weapons can fire an unlimited amount of times now, is there any reason to choose the dedicated special weapons instead of combi-weapons whenever possible?

>>54906643
are those tau or deathguard? or nurgle cultists?

>>54906643
It will struggle. People are faggots and bring things like Knights and Baneblades and everyone dick rides gay robots, so you'll have trouble doing enough damage to these dumpster models.

>>54906670
Sauce on this?

>>54906643

Those make 10/10 nurgle cultists or nurgle allied IG

>>54906686

>>54906558
Me, that's why I am asking

>>54906670

>>54906547

Fucking retards.

>>54906643
they are 90% spot on, though.. that big blank space at the bottom of the helmet just scream for a fuckign re-breather or mask filter instead of a flat area.

>>54906670
The special weapons are usually 3pts cheaper than their combi version.

>>54906715
What kind of Exodites?
The meme Dino rider Exodites or The dudes who fucked off before everything went to shit?

because the former is obviously Lizardmen

>>54906717
Stop posting you waste of skin.

>>54906592
>>54906647
Any Chaplin whether a named character or just a regular one seems pretty mandatory for a DC squad. And for that matter it seems like any BA army needs 2 or so Sanguinary Priests. I never really ran inferno pistols in 7th but they seem worth it now. I just want to know other peoples opinions on them if they are a good investment.

Can Sternguard fire special ammo on combi weapons?

>>54906670
Availability, not paying 3 extra points for a boltgun you'll never use

How good of a recaster is Zanchui? Thinking of getting some of the old Finecrap stuff from him, is he better than GW's quality or should I just be a good goy and buy the officials?

I need help expanding my Admech. I currently have 3 Dunecrawlers, 30 Rangees/Vanguard, 3 Destroyers, and 2 Techpriest Dominusessisusses. I'm not sure what to buy next. I keep hearing Infiltrators, ruststalkers and electropriests are shit. I'm tempted to buy Kastellans but the models are so fucking ugly.

>>54906755
I'm not a space Maine player, but do sternguard still have special ammo outside the strategem

>>54906769
He sucks, there are far better recasts around

>>54906780
Damn, he's the only one I know of that sells what I want. I'd go with Miranda Irene normally but she doesn't seem to have the specific model I want...

>>54906769
Pretty good, probably in the top 5 of recasters

>>54906769
AFAIK he varies from "whoops, wait 5 weeks for do-over to arrive" to adequate quality.

Really, he's who you go to is you don't know any other re-casters, have no money (but still play warhammer) and you will literally die if you cannot field your FW unit of choice.

>>54906769
Z is pretty good, he changed his resin this year and the results are much better than they used to be

>>54906816
No longer that dark grey brittle shit?

>>54906800
I have contacts of a lot of the guys (even stuff like WHS, with metal recasted miniatures)

>>54906672
They're human Tox Troopers sold by anvil industry. They are a tad bit cheaper than regular Cadians, and look cooler. The idea for my army is that they are the survivors of a war with Nurgle on their planet, and are thus best suited at fighting in toxic or viral conditions. Thus the hazmat suits.

Honestly, I have the exact opposite problem. All the people at my store love running huge blobs of troops or hyper elite forces like GK or SM.

My meta features:
>Chaos Undivded Daemons(Blood Letters, Plague Bearers, Khorne Hounds)
>DKoK/Imperial Guard troops
>Genestealer Spam backed by a few big bugs
>Termagaunt spam

Or

>Grey Knights
>Chaos Space Wolves
>Tau
>Death Watch/w Primaris

Here's my theoretical list:

https://pastebin.com/uvizJka4

Note the HK missiles on all the Chimera's; thats my hopeful anti-tank. Otherwise, I might skip out on them and run a squad of Melta-Scions or a few Lascannon teams.

Lermates and Sanguinary Priests is a must. They are not as savage as they was in the 7th but still pretty good. So yeah, quite a good investment.

Who else is doing the mission today?

What are you bringing?

>>54906681
>having trouble with knights or baneblades
have you tried not playing a shit list/army?

>>54906844
I'm running two squads in two rhinos, 9 zerks in each, apostle in one, champ in the other.

>>54906878

Primaris are Custodes sized which is pretty retarded if normal marines are like 7 feet tall

>>54906755
No as their Boltgun is special. To get a Combi, you must trade in your special Boltgun.

>>54906810
Do you have any others you'd recommend that sell some finecast stuff?

>>54906777
They only have one special bullet type instead of the old 3.

>>54906756
If you're going c.Flamer go for it as you'll just get 2 Bolter shots at -1 To Hit

But Combis let squads / characters take an extra special weapon when you normally couldn't.

>>54906878
>primaris marines are as tall as most primarchs
wat

>>54906894
It's not ridiculous, Mk X is pretty clearly based on toned down custodes armor, look at the normal chest piece and the legs on the Chaplain

>>54906894
Marines are 8 feet tall in armour. They are about 7'6" without it.

>>54906689
I was briefly considering that, but I prefer flamers and a sort of blitzkrieg assault over the slow, grinding playstyle of Death Guard or Nurgle Daemons. Thats where I came up with the idea of a Guard Regiment that after fighting off a nurglite invasion, that they became specialized in mechanical warfare, striking at slower oppenants, and than retreating. Their colors are going to be a match to the DG color scheme, with their robes being a sickly green, and their helmets being a darker green. Optics are going to be Red, guns are either metallic or brass. Brass might be too nurglite though.

>>54906726
Eh, it doesn't bother me too much; on the back of the model, the tube leads to a sealed air capsule, or filter. With who and how they fight, it makes sense that rebreathers wouldn't work as well.

So with all the new lore in 8th, did we ever determine if Moloch is a Primaris or a Custodian in disguise?

>>54906879
Seconding this, the Knight I got, along with the resin upgrade bits, were nearly flawless aside from the usual flash. Minimal bubbles, too.

>>54906773
Infiltrators, ruststalkers, and electro priests all have their place. We need melee units to keep things out of our lines.
Kastelans are great. You could always convert the heads or add pauldrons or something.
Cawl is good.

>>54906993
I don't think they've expanded on it as of yet. I am curious though. Leaning towards custodian myself.

>>54906643

Those would look good. It ot wasn't for the shit head.

>>54906974
..while they can differ in size drastically, depending on their natural given genes and how good they can take the treatments that make them Astartes.

>>54906883
Nearest "local" Gw is 235 miles away, there is another 152 miles out, but I'd need to bring my passport, and it's expired.

>>54906885
I don't have trouble with those. I'm saying Flamers will, you idiot.

>>54907010
The spear is convincing but I almost feel like a new early dethaw Primaris would be easier for the High Lord's to use as an attack dog than a Proud and Noble Custodian

THEN AGAIN he could just be a super big beef dude like the Exorcist chapter master, who iirc is decribed as "as big as an Ogryn"

>>54907036
Well, fucking obviously there will be deviations to the standard but we're talking generally, genius.

I mean you're probably right but that doesn't activate your almonds even a LITTLE?

>>54907154
Well, alright that is a bit questionable. I wasn't fully aware of Moloc's lore.

IG players, do you even use commmand squads?

I mean before we had to take them, but now I'm leery of a 4 man squad of vets that'll just get shot off the board if anyone looks at them funny, so why would I put medpacks or standards on them, which means why would I ever take them.

Only thing I can think off it just cramming them with special weapons and shoving them on a Chimera, but wouldn't a special weapon squad with a demo charge work better?

Not long ago I played a match with 3 DC squads equipped with a Thunderhammer each. Brought with them a Dreadnough, Astorath, and a Priest. When I dropped them in they managed to cleave right through my Opponents HQ defenses and the Dreadnought managed to take him out. Granted next turn my guys were all but wiped out (6+ FNP rarely does them any favors.)

They did what I wanted them to do but it's a huge point sink and only really lasted for one turn. I would really like it if they got their +5 FNP save back. I would even settle if they gained it if a Chaplin was close to them or if they gained some other benefit when being with a Chaplin. Also them having any kind of moral check is dumb.

>>54907329
>implying triggered
What

>>54906773
Infiltrators are our only good unit; Fulgurites and Rust Stalkers will die before doing anything because they have fuck all for protection.

Kastellans, Dune Crawlers and Cawl are our best units. Infiltrators are good at tieing up meq, and killing hordes dep. on loadout.

>>54906551

1. Unless you aren't comfortable with it (and I wouldn't blame you if you were) I'd say instead of crisis suits, take commanders with 4 blasters. You get take a hit in durability (6W from 9) but you go from averaging 1.5 hits her turn to over 3.5. Also you get the Mont'ka/Kauyon ability as well as potentially character protection. If it's not your thing, I totally get it.

2. Drop the guardian drones on strike squads. Very few things are going to be shooting at them with better than -2 AP, so you will get next to no use out of them other than an ablative wound, and at that point; just take a shield drone or gun drone.

3. I wouldn't bother upgrading your Devilfish's weapon to SMS. It's not like, a BAD idea, but it's not really a platform that is either particularly tough or accurate.

As to your question: If you dropped FBs to flamers on one of your crisis teams, you could probably afford to take 2 of your other suits and make them into quad-fusion commanders. You would also have to drop the fireblade or the etherial though, to make room for HQs.

>>54906773

Electro priests were shit. They've gotten a bit better. Infiltrators and RS require finest to use. You can't just throw them at people willy nilly and expect it to work, but of you are careful and smart with them they can do a lot of work for you.

Kastellans are absolutely wonderful, but if you don't like the look use some dread bits for the arms and shoulders and swap out the head. For something more to your liking.

>>54907332
Power fist.

>>54907332

>>54907351
>unironically suggesting someone take commanders when they're in the second boxcar of the nerftrain heading straight to nerftown
Good idea.

What AdMech stuff does /tg/ want buffed? I would like for rust-stalkers to get an infiltrate rule and some -AP stuff on the weapons.

>>54907362
Tempestus, taurox are even good armored police vans

>>54907362
Imperial Agents.
Acolytes with storm shields as arbites with shields, Flagellants/DKassasisns as Cyber matiffs, Inquisitors as Investigatorus and other henchmen as various specialists.

>>54907387
Ruststalkers need buffs but infiltrate is not what they do.

Rangers absolutely need buffs. They got fucking raped.

>>54907377
I figure, until it gets there, why not? I'm not suggesting he purchase the models; just that the Crisis Suits he has can stand in for them, since they are pretty much the same model.

I'm trying to make a somewhat fluffy black legion list to decide what to cop. I'm new to chaos. Mostly looking at unit composition/wargear choices over strict points/power
~1500
Vanguard Detachment
Chaos Terminator Lord - lightning claws, mark of khorne
5x Chaos Terminators- combi bolters, power axes, champion with power fist
5x Chaos Terminators- combi bolters, power axes, champion with power fist
Helbrute- plasma cannon and power fist
20x Chaos Marines- bolters or chainswords (not sure which) with two plasmaguns, icon of vengeance, champion with lightning claws
Forgefiend-autocannons and plasma cannon

Outrider detachment
Exalted Champion - Murder Sword, Mark of Khorne, plasma pistol
Raptor Squad- 2x melta guns, plasma pistol and power fist champion, mark of slaanesh
Raptor Squad- power sword and plasma pistol
1x Chaos Spawn

Something like that. Im very unsure what I want to give my terminators and marines as wargear. Also, black legion tactics suuuuure are shitty.

>>54907400
>>54907387
rangers just need flat -1ap
rust stalkers need AP in successive rounds of combat, or +1 to hit for each round of combat their in
Infiltrators need their full debuff aura back
"cognis" weapons need to have a better ability
both sicarians need better movement abilities or better defensive abilities (what happened to their fnp?)

>>54907431
Death Guard Stuff.

>>54907387
Rangers need better AP. We're paying 10 points per dude for nothing.

Dominus need a point decrease. They are not worth 135 points. They cost way too much for what they do and are.

Dunecrawlers need their old Invuln rules.

Vanguard should get a slight decrease in points.

Rust Stalkers loose mortal wound rules, get higher AP and Str. Make them a dedicated close combat unit, dammit.

We need a fucking transport more than anything.

>>54907394
Grab some count as SoB for some delicious Dominions inside a Repressor

>>54907424
Considering Riptides are getting buffed, maybe.

Codex is probably not coming soon. Don't hold your breath.

>>54907400
RS definitely need some -AP on the weapons. In the fluff it says that the weapons need to hone in on the frequency of the shit it's trying to slice so after a full round of fighting they get a AP-whatever.

>>54907387
Breachers, chickens, you know the worthless stuff.

how does one run/model chaos space wolves? my friend has space wolves and it would be cool to have a fluff friendly tagteam every now and then

>>54907387
>>54907436

This, plus a few buffs to Canticles (Should be flat +1 To Hit to avoid buff wastage with a bunch of R1, and a couple other things) and a damage boost to Dragoons (Maybe some kind of Mortal Wound mechanism or more attacks against bigger units), and a 10-20 ppm drop on Kataphrons of all stripes.

Also, give us xenos-equivalent haywire for fucks sake, that was just screwing us over for literally no reason.
Played a game today that went pretty well, though, suboptimal list vs. suboptimal WE list. I'll do a batrep if you guys don't mind a whole bunch of unpainted models since both of us are redoing our armies.

>>54907231
Because they are stupid and boring to play against. It's a skirmish game that's become herohammer and faggot super heavy 40k. Apocalypse becoming the norm was a mistake.

>>54907351
>1. Unless you aren't comfortable with it (and I wouldn't blame you if you were) I'd say instead of crisis suits, take commanders with 4 blasters.
Nah, we are playing casual games for newbies so we want to play WYSIWYG. Converting a crisis suit into commander wouldn't be fair in my opinion.
>just take a shield drone or gun drone.
You are right. I will just take more gun drones for more buffed dakka
>I wouldn't bother upgrading your Devilfish's weapon to SMS. It's not like, a BAD idea, but it's not really a platform that is either particularly tough or accurate.
It was some Anon advice to do this. I'm gonna give it a try and if it end up to be a shitty build I will swap on gun drones.

Thanks for your reply anon

>>54907435
Why are you giving the murder sword to a champion? You have no means of delivering him anywhere. Give it to a lord.
And since you're doing raptors, go with Night Lords. BL is pure shit.
Why 1 spawn? It's basically just a free First Blood.
Give terminators plasmas, same with raptors.

>>54907512
Still overshadowed by Vanguard but their rules were more fun. Precision Shots meant hit rolls of 6 could let them snipe out special weapons and squad sergeants, and AP 4 utterly wrecked Fire Warriors and Necrons.

That seems... really good for ten points a guy though

>>54907474
The player who runs them a pretty quiet guy. He models them with a mix of Space Wolves and Chaos marine bits. He runs the old Wulven as possessed, and his hounds as spawn. I'm not quite sure what tactics he uses as of the new codex.

>>54906731
Well, I'd like to mix the two, but more emphasis on the nature aspect than dinomemes. I'm already planning on using the Wood Elf Treegiants as Wraithlord/knight stand-ins

>>54907502
Screw that. Our infantry is way too expensive and weak to footslog. That's like saying Tempestus/Storm Troopers are foot sloggers.

>>54907546

I would just run him behind a choppa blob of csm. Also I kinda liked the idea of him having an athame so he can be eliphas the former word bearer, and not use said athame to open any portals for araghast, lel

Agree that night lords rules would be much much better, but thematically I'm going for black legion speartip, and I'm planning on summoning daemons with my characters in combat and marking stuff, and it just didn't feel right.

Agree chaos spawn is dumb. Maybe warp talons or more raptors?

Combiplas terminators sounds useful. Think power fists are worth it at all?

He would be pretty great. There's definitely a reason they spent 90% of their faction focus article on him instead of the awful tactics. Would be easy to make a terminator lord who counts as him anyways.

How does one start a proper Nids swarm in 8th edition? I'm aware that Nids are not cheap faction but I want to keep them on budget as much as possible and don't end up with an unplayable list.

Should I pick a Tyranid Swarm box and Tervigon Brood Progenitor and try to trade my Hormagaunts for more Termagants? If not, is Start Collecting and more elite army a better idea?

>>54907769
And that is outdated thinking right up there with GK being 3000 strong and every SW great company having 500+ members.
Knights especially are incredibly reasonable to deal with on the table nowadays, as are most superheavies. They are generally not the underpriced unit deleters they once were, so using the same old complaints because you want to cling to your biases makes you the cunt here.

If you can find the older Tyranid collecting box that has both gaunts, genestealers and warriors, that's a good deal

The current start collecting box is a good deal on paper, but nobody uses gargoyles, tyranid warriors aren't great, and hive tyrants aren't what they used to be

Are Baneblades that threatening this edition? I can understand the Shadowsword rightfully harmful to other LOWs and the 2 transport variants being good for still having firing points but what about the rest? I'm not convinced by what happened to the Baneblade and Stormsword compared to last edition, especially without its own version of Grinding Advance/Flying Fortress.

OK, got my photos resized and in order.

I brought pretty much the same list I had in 7e, which is 2x3 Gravstroyers, a shooty Kastelan squad + Minder, a Neutroncrawler, a plasma Vanguard squad and Dominus, plus some Flechette Infiltrators and a Dragoon pair.

He brought a mishmash of World Eaters infantry and Iron Warriors vehicles, can't remember the detachments exactly but he had 5 CP.
Block of 19 'Letters, two squads of Khorne Bezerkers, a shooty basic CSM squad for Troops, some Cultists, a Las/Autocannon predator, gatling Forgefiend and a Defiler. Oddly large amount of dakka for a WE army, but he was footslogging due to not having any Rhinos put together yet.

Both of us were a bit behind the times, and apparently we'd both decided to couple the army update with redoing our models. Half of mine are still in the crappy scheme I'd picked when I started the hobby, he'd already stripped and reprimed most of his. He also had a very pretty Murder Swordbearer which I think would be a shame to repaint, but the Colour Scheme God demands symmetry.

>>54907769

Stop posting. You are a complete waste of a person.

>>54907818
Hormagaunts are actually still a useful unit. They're not very good at killing things but their 6" pile in/consolidate means they can engage a whole bunch of shit in combat so they're not at all unhelpful.

But you are going to want at least 60 fleshborer termagants and probably 30 with devourers for when you inevitably want to use those in various ways. The swarm box is fine, it gets you a carnifex, which are pretty cool, shame about Gargoyles though, they're pretty much garbage.

I was obviously Defender, since I was Imperium and we were playing the Nethalmus mission. I didn't have a Tank because Admech doesn't actually have one at all, but whatever.

I deployed pretty far back with Shroudpsalm active because I was wary of Warptime Bezerker longbombs, but I managed to Sieze and repositioned to lay fire into his infantry line. Predator and Dunecrawler glared across the board diagonals at each other.

I opened up with the Infiltrators at the Bloodletters and completely bounced, he made 5 5++ saves against the flechette barrage and I failed charge. Rather poor riot control from these boys so far.
Dunecrawler tried to take a chunk out of the Predator but rolled 1 shot and missed completely.
Kastelans did really rather well on the 5+ hits against the Bezerkers, but he then made another 8/9 saves and only lost the one guy.

Grav Destroyers managed to redeem us in the sight of the Omnissiah and gutted the other squad of Bezerkers, which broke and legged it for First Blood.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the only things not WYSIWIG in my army is the Skitarii Sarge is just basic and the Katas have Flamers rather than Phosphor.

>>54908103
I invite you to take a look at the Grey Knights codex. Literally half the size of the other two codices.

There's a difference between better and strictly better. I think everyone can agree that World Eaters Legion trait is far better than, say, Black Legion, but that's because they're DIFFERENT. GW is not going to give one sub-faction a trait that does everything another one does and also more.

>>54908120
BA already have +1 attack on charge and +1 str from a character, all the good shits been taken.

>>54907435
I know people will say combi plasma but your army is lacking in taking out armour. You have a lot that can deal damage to the same targets as plasma weapons.

In all of my games (NL mind you but still) I have found combi meltas more useful on terminators or if you're running two units do it at least on one. Two meltas on raptors and a few plasma cannons in the army won't be enough to deal with a lot of threats.

By the same token consider taking a maulerfiend with tendrils instead of a forgefiend.

And yeah don't try and fit a spawn just for a 1CP detachment it's not worth it. Also if you take combi meltas on terminators consider making your raptors cheaper and stick to melee weaponry.

>>54907479
>It's a skirmish game that's become herohammer and faggot super heavy 40k
It hasn't been a skirmish game since 2nd (which sucked balls). If you want to play a Skirmish game then fuck off and play a good one, 40K's only real strength is that its one of very few battle scale games that isn't utterly tedious.

Or you could try not being stuck 20 years in the past. (or, more likely, being a hipster faggot that just pretends to be stuck 20 years in the past)

WEbro just piled in forward with everything, as expected. Tried to Warptime the Bezerker squad that had had the amazing luck but blew himself up instead with Perils, so he's on 1W. Khorne cares not for your Iron Warriors keyword, no psyking his boys.

His Predator fired into the Kastelans, and with a string of rather amazing luck managed to oneshot one of them with a Lascannon D6, despite taking a Mortal Wound in the process. The bloody bloop then exploded despite my CP reroll to try to stop it, killing three Skitarii and wounding the Dominus, Datasmith and his twin Kastelan. quite severely.
Rest of his dakka then hosed down the other bot and brought it to 1W through 1+ 4++, which wasn't too bad.

My local GW is having its anniversary soon and its gonna have special guest Jes Goodwin.

Now I'm a newfriend and don't know much about him. He seems to have done stuff for the Eldar from what I read.

Is he a cool guy?

In the same vein, what Legion Trait would you expect DG/TS to have? DG seems easy

>each time you take a wound roll a D6; on a 5+ you don't take a wound

But i have no idea what would TSons have. Psychic power stuff seems obvious, but they have lot of non-psychic infantry that wouldn't benefit from it.

I turned on Reroll Ones as Canticle and knocked a couple Marines down here and there with the Skitarii and Dunecrawler Stubbers, as well as taking the Predator down to 4W with a Neutron burst. Grav started eating through the Bloodletters and I put the Dragoons into them to try and drive them back a step or two. Managed to kill a couple and broke half a dozen more with morale, which made that flank pretty safe.

>>54908213
>2nd was amazing
The edition where vehicles and bikes were deathtraps, characters were untouchable in melee except for other characters and the couple of factions that could actually deliver a character into combat quickly (since in a 4 turn game most models only moved 16") could decimate their opponents army?

Yeah, 2nd was great.

>>54908321

Women don't play Tyranids. They think Nids are cute, but they don't collect or play them. They get Dark Eldar and Eldar, or those that are passively interested pick up some Marine chapter because the store manager or her boyfriend said it was a good way to get into the game.

Jes Goodwin is the coolest guy, he's one of the head model designers going back for-fucking-ever and many of the best GW models in existence stem from his sketches and designs. If it weren't for him GW stuff would probably look like generic sci-fi crap like all the bland wannabe products out there.

I agree. I don't have the reroll coverage or expendability to be able to get away with overcharging either. Plus, having a lot of squads with meltas dropping in is a pretty good psychological threat.

You think 3 per terminator squad to increase coverage or all in one squad? (Or all on both).

And yeah, forgefiends are... really bad. I just happened to acquire one for free to clean up (like most of my reclaimed warband). Maybe I could replace it in the future.

>>54908356
To be fair you can talk shit about some aspects of every edition of 40k. None of them were perfect but 2nd was still fun as hell.

If I recall correctly Jes Goodwin was/is? the OG concept designer for GW, if you've seen any colored sketches that are on yellow/gold-ish paper and are TURBO grimdark, that's Jes. He's responsible for 40k having such a unified aesthetic for Imperials.

Vostroyans are his baby, he's also the reason why everyone and their mother has cranial implants with cables everywhere.

Also worked heavily on fantasy and funnily enough, did all the stormcast concepts.

It makes sense. Women have always liked elves because they are supposed to be beautiful. Eldar are gay space elves who have women who are as equally strong or stronger than their men.

>>54908438
understatement. He literally designed space marines bro

>>54908394
Yes, of course. Just like ES and WE have their patrons powers.

I mean, that would have TSons get some sort of 5++/+1 invu Legion Trait similar to Ethereal Form, which would be really powerful. Even ignoring 2++r1 Ahriman, 4++ Tzaangors/Rubrics would be a pain.

>>54908412
Melee weapons, dumbass.

>>54908344

>>54908334
I'd really, really hope for something like the fate dice so I might be able to have more control over rolls and stuff, thought that it was really neat when I first heard of it. However, I'm guessing it'll just buff casting for my psykers or help against perils, something like that. I'd still be fine with that though.

>>54908438
He also did the ungodly excellent modern Carnifex and Flyrant.

>>54908467
TSons will get +1 on psychic tests just like Grey Knights.

>>54908467
>Even ignoring 2++r1 Ahriman
What
Where did you get 2++ from

>>54908396
Yeah, it was fun in a stupid way but to say that 2nd was good while derisively calling 8th hero hammer is hilarious - characters have never been more powerful than 2nd.

It also wasn't a good wargame or a good skirmish game thanks to the terrible mobility of most units and the very limited range of good options (vehicles died instantly, bikes murdered characters that rode them, heavy weapons were incredibly unreliable). If you had fast melee units or mobile characters you were gold, everything else was trash.

The edition closest to 8th is 3rd by far.
>hurr durr AP modifiers
3rd was the edition where 40K became a fast battlescale game (which 8th is) where almost everything is viable (like in 8th). Vehicles vs. Non vehicles, hordes vs. elites, shooting vs. melee, it's all good.

His turn he pretty much bounced off with the majority of his dakka, his Prescience failed and thus all his Daemon Engines were hitting on 5+ for some reason or another. Pulled the remaining few Bloodletters back and fired all his scattered heavy weapons into the Dragoons, killing one despite the Predator failing to wound with his volley.
Big block of Zerkers, Murder Lord, Exalted Champion and Forgefiend running down one side of the board behind a wall.

When my turn came around I healed a Kataphron, hosed down the Zerker squad with the Kastelan and the one Skitarii squad inn their way, chipped some wounds off generally here and there and used my last two CP to activate the All Power to Weapons strat with the Crawler to finish off the Predator.
Sent my brave Skitarii squad to hold off the advancing melee blob, since I was still trying to get their supporting Kataphrons out of the ruin they'd been hiding in and the other squad couldn't see.

>Dark Angels
Bitter Doggedness: Deathwing Battleforged armies get +1 toughness for all <Infantry> when within 12 inches of an enemy model.
Hexagrammaton Adherence: Ravenwing can choose to make roll an extra D6 for Advance, with -1 to hit, but suffers a -1 penalty to shooting assault weapons the turn it advanced.
The Unforgiven: Dark Angels overall: On the first declared charge, if a Dark Angels unit is within range of an enemy unit that is within 6 inches of the nominated Fallen, the first Dark Angels unit to charge may always make a succesful charge unless it suffers a casualty from Overwatch.
>Spess Yiffs
Unbound Savagery: Every model considered in combat with an enemy model that successfuly charged it in the preceding Charge phase gets to make 1 attack with one close combat weapon, against the charging unit before the opponent can fight, at +1 strength. Should 50% of the attacks result in a wound, the Space Wolves may fight first in that round of combat.
>Blood Angels
Red thirst: When declaring a charge, a Blood Angels unit will gain +1 strength for that round of combat should the charge be successful. Furthermore, the charging Blood Angels unit gains +1 attack per model that suffers a wound to overwatch fire, regardless if the wound was saved or not. Also, when resolving Overwatch fire, each time the opponent rolls a 6, roll a D6: on a roll of 4+, the charging Blood Angels unit will gain +1 to their charge roll.
Keep them in Check: An <Infantry> or <Dreadnought> model that has been in close combat with the same unit for 3 or more consecutive turns will gain the Black Rage special rule for the rest of the game if they do not possess it already. This does not apply to a model with the <Character> keyword. The model must be counted as a casualty when the match ends. However, the opponent can only gain a victory point (where applicable) if he caused more more than 50% of total wounds to the model or unit before the Black Rage took over.

I charged my remaining Dragoon into the last Bloodletters and managed to take them down for two points, at which point it was swarmed by the cultists who'd been hiding in a ruin all game but who all wanted to ride the mechanical horsy.

His Defiler rolled six shots with the Battle Cannon but missed all of them (at which point he got fed up with his giant enemy crab and offered it to the EC player for a fiver) and then the Exalted Champion and Forgefiend smashed into my four Skitarii.

They made all three 6++ saves, tanked the mad flailing of the gatling guns and managed to smack the Champion on his ass with a rifle butt, before beating a hasty retreat in the Morale phase while the Champion was presumably distracted with the over-affectionate forgefiend trying to lick him better. Not bad for a bunch of expendable tinmen.

Is there any info on what sort of Marines were put into the Primaris treatment in 30k? Were they all new recruits or were some older veterans? Do the new organs need to be implanted during puberty for full effect, like with regular Marine organs, or can old Marines benefit from them equally?

Can I make a 40k version of my 30k praetor in primaris form, as if he survived the heresy and went through the process?

>>54906947
Primarchs are fall taller than a Primaris Marine. Primarchs are 12-14 feet tall and an adult male human only comes up to blowjob height. Space Marines are seven foot, Primaris Marines are around 8'6".

>>54908673

Read the freaking codex. It specifically says they are all Terran recruits during the Scouring.
