Daily reminder that Chaos is winning!

When we win this planet, Konor will be cut off from warp communication and will be subject to fierce warp-storms, ushering in a great doom for all the planets in the system, even those that Chaos 'lost'.

+++BATTLE REPORT INCOMING+++

(reposting from Wednesday night)


Hey guys, posting a batrep for your amusement.

I played a fun (albeit shorter than I would have liked) game tonight, my first in 8th edition and my first at my new local store.

Points was set at 2000, Steel Legion Imperial Guard vs a custom Astartes chapter called the "Storm Lords" (I think? can't remember exactly). Both armies were almost fully painted, so the game was a lot of fun to watch unfold.

I tried to take a picture at the top of every phase of every turn, but of course missed 2 or so. I will do my best to recreate what happened each turn from memory using my records.

Enjoy.
Pic related is the IG force, a full Battalion detachment with 12 command points.

My list consisted of Yarrik in the center, supported by a company commander, two astropaths, and a priest. A shady vindicare assassin is just off camera to the left, too cool to be photographed.

The meat of the list is two conscript platoons of 50, 4 scion squads of 5 with melta/plasma led by a tempestor prime. A squadron of leman russ executioners and 2 heavy weapons squads of lascannons provide some punch, and 2 defensive searchlights support the infantry.

It's rounded out by 3 salamander scout vehicles (chimeras) and a twin punisher cannon vulture for close air support.

Here we have the Storm Lords. I am not an expert on Astartes units, but he took a good mix in his list, opting for balance.

The chapter master rides a bike, while the librarian is on foot. A land raider crusader is the battering ram, tac squads and scout squad are the meat and potatoes. He took 2 dreads including the new big guy for extra punch in melee.

>>54945247
you realize theyre giving this one to chaos so they dont have a bunch of whiny fags complaining because imperium didnt lose once

>>54945289
Astropath isn't bad since you get a 1/3rd chance smite and the ignore cover power. Wyrdvanes are poop.

The rolled mission was "RELIC." We agreed to use my custom "randomized battlefield" rule, dropping a fair number of terrain pieces on the table and then rolling 2d6+scatter to let them drift randomly. The final terrain placement is pictured here, along with deployment from the Astartes POV.

Astartes easily finished deployment first (he was almost done by the time I was done calling reserved units) and would go first. Initiative was not seized.
And here we have deployment from the IG POV. I definitely got the lucky side of the field as far as terrain went, with a nice wall of cover anchored by 2 structures. Conscript platoons are too big to ever get cover bonuses, really, but my taking this side of the field denied the smaller and tougher Astartes a cover bonus while they advanced on the relic in the center.

I ended up being hard pressed for space, and crammed conscripts shoulder to shoulder with lascannons and the russes to get that reroll 1s aura on as much as possible.

The vindicare just said "meh" to the whole idea, confident my 12 command points would be used on him if necessary and just parked himself on top of the nearest building. I put the searchlights up there, too, where they would get cover and clear LOS to mark targets.

Salamanders and the vulture took the flanks with the hope of forcing the less numerous marines to split their numbers and chase my mobile stuff around fruitlessly. We'll see how well that worked.

Turn 1 opens with the Astartes confidently into the center with their Land Raider as the speadhead. A Tac squad and the Librarian are mounted inside, ready to snatch the relic at the earliest opportunity while the dreads smack away any space peasants.

The land speed storm takes a combat squad of scouts up the Imperial right flank looking to harass the searchlights and deny the main IG line its accuracy bonus. The bikes move up on the IG left, blowing through the ruins to get in the shadow of the structure anchoring the IG's left center.

The first volley is fired to the tune of an orbital bombardment, consuming 3/4 of the Astartes command points right off the bat. The blasts are called in right on top of Yarrick, catching him, the Company Colonel, priest, astropaths, a lascannon team, russes, and both conscipt units in the radius.

By the time the searing flashes are over and the dust has settled, perhaps half a dozen conscripts are dead, the center russ has taken 4 wounds, one lascannon crew is reduced to charred skeletons, and both the priest and Colonel are reduced to 2 wounds. Yarrick takes nothing, he's seen worse.

The dreads and crew-served vehicle weapons unload into conscripts, felling another 10 or so. The ones behind them pile the bodies up for a bit of cover, stuffing corpses into the windows of that wall. From downfield, the pred unleashes all 4 lascannons into the center russ and takes off another 2 wounds.

End of Astartes shooting, and a conscript unit breaks, takes 2 steps back, watches Yarrick execute a guy, then turns back around and resumes their postions.

I don't really like the forgefiend but thought I should at least add one for thematic reasons to at least have one of each dinobot.

This list isn't meant to be hyper competitive just a fun little list that hopefully can hold its own against other standard lists.

Anyone play today?

I had a game against GK as Ministorum/Guard. Unfortunately we had so little terrain because the other table took all of it. We had a lot of forests, but no good LoS blocking terrain so I felt a little bad for my opponent. He had a Grand Master with a super hammer, a Librarian, a Land Raider with the flamers that had 5 Terminators in it and it must have been about 30-40 Grey knights, I couldn't tell.

I had 2 Tank Commanders, Celestine by herself, Yarrick, a Commander, 3 Infantry squads, 30 Conscripts, 4 Bullgryn in a Chimera, 9 Crusaders, 8 Death Cult Assassins with a Priest and a Canoness in a Rhino, a Basilisk and 2 Armored Sentinels.

Highlights were his Grand Master smashing open my Chimera after I charged it in, then 2 Bullgryn rolled 1s for it being wrecked, then he Smited another for 3 wounds, then smashed another with his hammer. Bad game for the Bullgryn because I thought the hammer would do D3 damage, not a flat 4. Another highlight was Celestine charging a unit with incinerators and failing 6 out of 7 3+ saves. Death Cult Assassins also diced up his Terminators super good. I ended up wiping his army, which was a shame because if we had more terrain to use, the game would have been more fun for both of us.

>>54945235
These two are my favorite.

>>54945289
Astropaths are great for Guard. The ignore cover mechanic is nice, especially if you find yourself up against a power armor unit in cover. They are cheap, and they are really awesome for giving Conscript blobs a 4+ save and Bullgryn a 1+ or 3++ save.

The speeder and its scouts drive-by a searchlight and take it out in a hail of heavy bolter fire. With the final parting shots of the turn, the marine scouts unload their sniper rounds into the ministorum priest and kill him with 2 6s to wound. His head explodes in red mist, taking my double attack bonus with it.

----

IG is up. Seeing the Storm Lords move their Raider 13 inches away, I have either the option of advancing and eating their charge, or pulling back 6 and forcing them to take another round of shooting. I decide to pull back a bit, making a marine charge risky for him to try, and throw a salamander into the center to force him to move around it and waste inches.

The vulture jets off the left flank while the salamanders hunker down in the corners for better accuracy.

Shooting phase. I light up the Land Raider, give the Bring it Down orders to both lascannon teams, planning to fire on the juggernaught with everything in my army. I don't need to.

In the master stroke of the game, my first lascannon team levels their cannons and fires 3 AT lasers into the approaching tank. All 3 hit without any searchlight support. All 3 wound. All 3 saves fail. 16 wounds inflicted from 3 hits. In a single salvo, the Raider is wiped from the field, taking 4 marines with it and leaving a smoking crater behind.

Bereft of their primary target, the rest of the IG goes nuts and shoots at everything. The surviving marines and librarian retreat under fire and lose another half their number before finding some ruins to jump into. The vulture hoses the bikes and drops 2. The vindicare knocks 2 wounds off the Librarian with his Exitus rifle, and the right flank salamander even knocks out the land speeder.

Things are looking good for the 27th Steel Legion.

2/2

Turn 2

The Storm Lords are quick to recover from the thrashing they got charging into the imperial center. The rhino drops off a combat squad of tac marines, who use the vehicle as cover while securing the relic. The chaddanaught lumbers up to the center salamander, intended as a roadblock, keen to punish it for over extending.

The chapter master moves up on his bike, as well, and the bikes circle the structure on the imperial left center to threaten the russes with bike-mounted meltas.

The bikes fry the left russ, reducing it to slag before turning to charge the left flank salamander. Snipers drop more lascannon teams with help from the dreads, who don't want to see the heavy weapon platforms get another round of lucky shooting in.

---

IG is up. The left flank salamander just throttles away from the bikes and makes for the enemy deployment zone, threatening to get a VP for it unless the bikes chase it. The vulture circles around and strafes the scouts, wiping all of them if it weren't for 3 lucky FNPs. Triple boxcars keeps them in the fight.

The right flank salamander also jets forward, taking the scout squad on a chase back across the board same as the left one. All over the field Tempestus scions rain down in their grav chutes, unleashing melta and plasma into the remaining Astartes armor units. Amazingly, they only manage to cripple and not kill either dread. It takes 180+ FRFSRF lasrifle shots to finally drop the pregnaught, losing its last wound to a peasant-operated flashlight.

The conscripts advance and, at the Commissar's order, charge the remaining dread in order to get some distance across the field. They do 2 wounds to the walker, which drops 2 of them for their trouble. Amazingly, they pass morale.

It's turn 3 and the marines need to make something happen. Fortunately they have grabbed the relic and run of with it, hoping their dreadnaught and character units can bog down the imperial hammer long enough to stall out the win. The backfield tac squad turns and engages the scions that grav'd in behind them and melta'd the chad, easily felling 4 of the 5 in a single charge.

The chapter master drives his bike between the smoking wrecks in the center field and slams into the conscripts, adding his melee powerhouse to the dreadnaught to try to swing the battle. The librarian won't let the honor be all his, and also joins in the fray. Conscript bodies pile up, and by the end of it 22 die in a single round of combat while only doing 2 wounds to the characters and 1 to the dread.

---

IG. Despite the carnage in the center and the relic fleeing further and further away, Yarrick doesn't seem worried. He raises his klaw in the air and signals the last remaining searchlight, which illuminates the astartes captain on his bike. The FRFSRF order is given to the second conscript unit, and the Get back in the Fight! order to the mangled one which withdrew from the melee. A total of 260 lasrifle shots kill the Librarian and reduce the warlord to 1 wound, which the Vindicare prompted robs him of with another Exitus shot. Warlord slain.

Meanwhile, the vulture has completed its maneuver and gatlings the tac squad with the relic, killing all 5 retreating marines in one round of shooting and forcing them to drop the precious objective. The plasma russes overcharge their cannons and vaporize the bike squad on their left, scions on the right anchor structure rapid fire down the scouts, and the left flank salamander skirts into the enemy deployment zone. The game ends bottom of turn 3 with complete Steel Legion victory.

Emperor's Champion is considered a name character, right? As in regards to relics?

I ask because the shit reader that inhabit 1d4chan say "hur dur make Smashfucker liek dis" ignoring the rules say you can't take the Shield Eternal on Captains in Gravis Armour. However making a T6 dude with the Ashmantle is pretty neat.

Anyway, Black Templar's Emperor's Champion is a named character, right?

>>54945480
what did the crusaders do since they weren't in a transport? Just asking since I've been debating whether to take some.

Reminder that:

Once upon a time there was a very friendly Guardanon with a fully painted force who liked to post batreps and WIP and generally be a cool guy. His Guardsmen weren't golden demon, not even high end, but they were pointed perfectly find for how many he had (more than you iirc). Every single time he would post though, there would be one or two autistic fucknuts who would make all sorts of noise about their color and quality. Now he knew they were not great, just like you he painted them simple and clean in batches to stay sane and look good altogether on the table. The shit slinging would not stop though no matter how much of a positive force he was in this thread, like most guardanons are. Eventually it became so bad that to spare the rest of us from constant derailments and shitposting wherever he went....he exiled himself. He set out in a quest to update EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE of his Guardsmen so as to quash his detractors, never again to post a batrep till he was done. He does it for us!
Some say, on certain nights, you can still catch him posting.....always an unfinished pile of Guardsmen in his pics, forever painting.

We call him Red Guard Guy

>>54945589
I knew you weren't bro. You're the lad who said BL isn't canon, right? Should talk to Carnac bout that, but he ignored you few threads ago.

In hindsight, I brought a list that was too strong and I have come to regret it. This was my first 8th edition game and I was unsure how powerful this would be. In 7th I always took 2 units of 50 (1 conscript 1 infantry) and used the order + psyker + kurov's aquila buff stack to make them work, which made them good but not great. In 8th the changes to melee make the conscript/commissar combo ridiculous. I'll have to replace them with something else in the future.

I also really fucked up moving my infantry back turn 1, since I am still using a 7th ed hindbrain and reflexively wanted to put 20" between the enemy and my infantry to guarantee a round of rapid firing. When I did this, the game spectators were like "so...you're moving back? Huh...That's...interesting..."

I can see why now, since 8th lets you just disengage and shoot using the Back in the Fight order. It's not as potent as FRFSRF, but I shouldn't have pulled back and ceded ground just for a better opening lasgun volley.

I also fucked up targeting priority with my scions, who buried meltaplas into vehicles to almost no effect. Vehicles are much better damage sponges than they used to be, so these guys would have been better used chewing up infantry than trying and failing to drop dreadnaughts.

>>54945600
Since they have the movement faith, I was going to faith move them, then move them up for some nice 13-18 inch movement plus charging. I didn't have to though, he ended up deepstriking nearby so I just ran up and stabbed him. They got shot a little bit, but it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't say they need a transport, but it depends on who you are fighting and what else you have. I've run them a few times without and a few times with and both ways have performed well enough. If you have good terrain, they can hide well for a counter charge. If your force is more aggressive, like you have a bunch of mech vets/scions in transports, then I'd grab a transport to help keep up and run interference for anything that tries to attack your mens.

>>54945699
Non-unique warlords of a particular chapter can choose one of the generic Warlord traits.

I strapped a regular boltgun to my Daemon Prince to represent a Warp Bolter, but I'm considering, maybe, modifying a sonic blaster and applying greenstuff instead.
My army is Emperor's Children, so I'm probably gonna get another Sonic Weapon upgrade kit in the future, should I cut the Boltgun off and replace it with a Sonic Blaster when I do? It means I'll need to repaint the area but I don't really mind that.

>>54945704
Fluff wise yes. Rules wise no. For example his "relic" is the Black Sword. You cannot give him another.

Are there similar gunships in the fluff like the Fire Raptor but...sleeker? I love my Xiphon, but I want something with more guns

>>54945605
What the fuck am I reading?

>>54945704
That's what I was wondering. If that's the case, I can give him the Crusader Helm or whatever. He has his own unique gear though.

>>54945728
Yeah but Black Templar's are unique, it says only one model per army and they're a Black Templar unit, not a whatever you want chapter unit.

>>54945750
This is what I thought hence asking. I'm just waiting for somebody to say otherwise.

>>54945710
Well argue with the faggot who said so. Carnac will argue that X and Y doesn't count as canon cause he said so, or it's 'old'.

>>54945748
Well if you don't mind doing it and know you're getting more upgrade kits in the future anyway you might as well do it.

>>54945771
He's a "named character". See page 207.

>>54945784
I was just asking if people thought the blaster would look better than the bolter.
I don't want to do it if it'll look silly.
I'm probably gonna hold the gun up to the model when I get it though to do some measurements I guess. Just figured I'd ask 40kg's opinions.

Yeah but that just says he gets his weapons for free and there is no single named Emperor's Champion, so they could argue he could bung the Crusader Helm on his head.

Can you shoot characters even when they're not the closest target when you're shooting with soulburst? Because it's technically not the shooting phase?

No. The Emperor's Champion is literally in the stat block labeled "named characters". Those are the words that the Warlord traits and relic sections cite. Here's a screenshot from the index. But same idea. It's explicit.

>>54945907
Those only apply if you do so in the shooting phase.

>>54945902
Pretty sure this is wrong.

"The unit may shoot as if it's your shooting phase" would mean you follow all the normal rules.

Also hell, if you can ignore targeting rules when shooting outside of the shooting phase, why not ignore range and los rules too.

No you still use the guns profile, but the rules for targeting characters specifies during the shooting phase.
Music of the Apocalypse isn't worded the same as Soulburst, it just states "the slain model can make a shooting attack with one of it's ranged weapons, or throw a grenade, even uf the model's unit is within 1" of the enemy."
However I can't target the unit that is locked in combat with me, but I can target characters and other enemies not locked in combat.

Black Library and the Star Wars extended universe are the same. Warhammer and Star Wars are both products that were written with various inconsistencies that demanded other, more talented writers to come in and try to salvage things like why General Grevious or Abbadon were ever considered a threat if they never win. Unfortunately, both are considered by their owners to be non-canon due most likely to the fact that it makes it no longer a work of the original author(s) and makes them feel insecure. It also isn't run through a corporate panel for the express purpose of selling as many toys as possible, which is a precedent that they dare not set.

>>54946070
I don't really do it unless my opponent starts smiting me, I usually have better targets for MotA.
I tend to choose units my opponent hasn't shot with yet if I can to reduce the number of shooting they can actually do.
Like one time during a small local tournament a group of Stormtroopers came in from reserves and shot my noise marines to shit with meltas, my dying marines wiped the second squad that came in before it could shoot, then on my turn my surviving marines finished off the other squad of troopers.

Long time there has been a prophecy written by Sanguinius talking about a Golden Armoured warrior standing before the Emperor. Something about standing before the blade that will strike the Emperor down and by standing in front of the blade, the figure will buy the Emperor a few seconds more. But a few seconds more could change the fate of history.

Plus in Gathering Storm book 3, I think, the Blood Angels and the forces trying to contain the super warp crystal on that planet in Angel's Blade are told to come back to Baal. Then the warp storms block all communication. However suddenly a communication comes through from an unknown sender, from an unknown source, saying that the 'Angel needs them'. And Sanguinius was called the Angel.

Hey guys, I want to play Aeldari, with a particular interest in fielding lots of mandrakes and reapers with the default reaper launcher. But at the same time, I don't want to be called a WAACfag. What do I do?

Close combat is used as a finishing manuever. Specialist in it generate a lot of attacks and are usually very lethal. So it's used to finish squads. What you cannot expect is to just sit on a squad you have a slight advantage over and grind them down over the whole game. Close Combat is powerful, and it's easier than ever to get there quickly, but it's short.

>>54946365
Close combat has to hit hard and fast, you can't expect to charge a unit and have it stuck for 2-3 turns until it dies, you need to do serious damage the first time you swing
On top of that melee is good for making units that are very expensive and don't wanna be in combat (large blocks of necron warriors, devistators, almost all vehicles that aren't walkers) waste a turn pulling out and risking a recharge if the unit isn't taken care of, on top of that the charging unit can consolidate or pile in to other units free of overwatch
A lot of melee oriented units have been buffed to hit a lot harder since they can't expect to do damage slowly or "tarpit" the opponent

>>54946365
Not really, all the units that are good in cc this edition basically murder entire units in one round or less. Like 1 Khorne Berzerker now throws out 4 S6 AP-1 and 2 S4 AP0 attacks that hit on 3s each round of combat. Imperial knights similarly throw out 12 S8 AP-2 Dd3 attacks without melee weapons.

Basically GW looked at any unit they wanted to be viable in melee this edition and massively boosted them sky fucking high.

So you can look at your index and determine in about 4 seconds whether most units are good in melee. Do they have 4+ attacks in melee? If so, they're good, otherwise they're situational at best.

I can most certainly tell them they're wrong. I can tell them that they're shitting on work come before them. I can tell them that they are dragging the setting kicking and screaming in their direction. I can tell them that they are alienating not just the Imperial and Xenos players, but the Chaos players as well. Chaos isn't winning by dint of being better or whatever, it's winning and does win because ADB (and by extension, Goulding) have decided that's what is going to happen. They're the most senior members of BL and the chances that they're letting other authors get on with it is defeated by the fact that nearly every other author follows their tune and even contradicts their own work. Hell, the argument about Blood Ravens caused a massive fracture in BL.

I'm curious how it not being pre-painted will play out. That said I'm excited to add another minis game to my collection.

>>54946814

If it's like X-Wing, normies will lap it up (like Heroclix), but for repainting it's not ideal. I'm still glad it's going to exist, because hopefully it means some third party retailer will make resin not-Star Wars miniatures in better detail that I can paint myself.

>>54946769
It's funny because so many people say "just slap star wars on it and it'll sell like crazy hur dur Disney" but I actually actively avoid anything star wars since I dislike the lore and aesthetic not to mention community, so even if this game was amazing I'd probably not play it because I don't like star wars

>>54946814
It's too much dedication for normies, and also it'll end out like Lord of The Rings game, in that when Normies are tired of the movies, this game will die horribly

Yes. He is now part of Riot's Narrative team under 'Senior Narrative Director'. This leaves ADB in charge and he's basically running the show now. Goulding's official title at GW (not BL, but GW) was 'Commissioning Editor'. He sure as fuck didn't act like it.

Honestly still moaning about those fucking maps? And you're moaning about name changes? You do realise GW is literally being sued RIGHT NOW for using the word Elf and stuff, right?

>>54946862
ADB is hired author he decides nothing over GW design studio.

>>54946899
GW doesn't give a flying fuck as long as more shit shells. ADB wants Chaos to win, he's outright stated they will win, he's outright confirmed both in Q&A's and in afterwords he is a Chaos fanboy. He's confirmed the only loyalist Marines he likes are Blood Angels. He likes Sanguinius too. So much so Master of Mankind has a special unique Blood Angels in it just so he can save the fucking day. Oh and a page of said Blood Angel witnesses an echo of Sanguinius fighting at the Eternity gate.

ADB will get his way and it'll be paved the way with titans, OC you've never heard of but are super important, women, black people and crippling daddy issues. Oh and Tzeentch is best lol.

Did I say it was bad? He just has them in every story and if he's gonna do it they're gonna be in it. Calm the fuck down.

I'm actually pretty relaxed right now painting some conscripts with some netflix playing in the background, nursing a gin and tonic

ADB's chaos stuff is annoying as is his penchant for creating special sue characters. the women and negro comment just seemed a little out of left field

Not really, they're pretty much in every single book he's done so he's gonna put them in there somewhere. Hell, it's even on the ADB Bingo.

>one is Krole's second in command who seems to get slightly more than Krole
>another is the Loyalist Fabricator General who turns Chaos because lol fuck it let's have this super demon manage it lmao

Or what about the First Heretic? Woman who's saved is black (or mixed) and is super important in consoling whatshisface for turning traitor.

Seriously, read the books again and play this bingo card. I got 17. I have no problem with them being there but to say that he doesn't put them in regularly (and I'm pretty sure ADB is pro-black people in sci-fi or some shit) is factually wrong.

>>54947026

>>54946957
He didn't bitch shit, faggot, he just said a truth that ADB puts them in his books. Stating a fact = bitching. Why did you suddenly turn off when he said that? Are you so indoctrinated you REEE at that? Or do you disagree and think there isn't that many blacks and girls in his books?

>>54946769
Ugh, why is it always the garbage aesthetic? Droids vs troopers is so much better. The rebels look like ass and the troopers gear look stupid in the imperial era. Plus there's literally 1 jedi (vader) who can actually be fielded without going full non-canon.

If that was fucking Clone wars shit i'd be fucking game.

>>54947080

>>54947049
Probably the mindset is "by 30k when everyone is either 8 feet of super human or piloting a massive godlike war machine the dimorphism between human sexes isn't too important" all the female characters in "Betrayer" were super solid

I mean sure the actual movies were probably worse (lol midichlorians) but their visual design is way better, the conflict was bigger, there is more room for a 'yourdudes' thing, and humans vs robots lets you mechanically differentiate the factions and units within them without feeling too forced.

I don't really consider it a good conversion. Like the other guy said, it's lazy as fuck. I'd have put a backpack on him but he was the first real conversion I did when I got into the hobby so I didn't have the tools to carve out the resin to fit one on there and I didn't have any spare packs anyway. I plan on doing an updated one down the road with bitz from the AOS khorne skullcrushers kit with more effort put into it to look like it belongs in 40k.

Currently unavailable although they could just be remaking the moulds. That happens sometimes.

I always thought the Heldrakes were kind of silly but I do like the lore; the daemonic engines cling to the underside of chaos battleships like bats and when they see the drop pods and gunships launch they detach and are drawn to the fight.

>>54947437
i've done that trick before for snow effect. i don't have the models handy buy it stays white because i use 1 part white glue 1 part white paint and like a 1/2 part bakingsoda.

the white paint keeps it from yellowing. also gives it a thicker consistency. Generally looks like snow. if i want more of a powder texture i have to increase the amount of bakingsoda.

>>54947371

Just personal preference. I always thought the models were too narrow for how tall they are. Buying the extra track and panel bits is only like $8 on ebay.

I can't prove you wrong because the argument is purely subjective and in your mind you've already decided that you're right.

Why don't GW sell bits?

I just ordered 10 combi plasma from Kromlech. GW could have had that money.

Why are they leavng this money on the table?

Do they really think people are going to buy multiple entire kits just to get the guns they want?

Tonight I plan my alpha legion list.

>>54947947

Chaos Warrior stuff from Fantasy has a lot of maces you can use for mauls.

>>54947966
They used to. Rumor has it a new employee toppled over one of the shelves holding nothing but bitz and they just said "fuck it" to cleaning it up.

More logically and probably true: "If they really need that bit, they'll buy another kit".

>>54947942
How about you prove yourself right first.

>>54947996
Oh they have a good amount of axes too. I like that. I should look for some of the bits, thanks.

>>54948005
No problem, I'm using a lot of the extra bits from the sets with my CSM conversions

>>54947966
I assume it's because the effort involved in breaking down a fuckload of kits to sell the bits would take more trouble than its worth because some shit would absolutely never sell. Still though, they could easily make a bunch of weapons packs for example, or the larger mounts like juggernauts or thunderwolves in separate packages to make unique HQs easier.

>>54948039
They still have some weapon packs on the site
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Space-Marine-Plasma-Guns
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Space-Marine-Meltaguns
also CSM backpacks and SM Jump packs. but most of them are finecast so it's a mixed bag.

>>54947966

I wish they did, really annoying tracking down a bunch of tau weapons. I think what you'd see is that people start just buying armies second hand and bits from GW. I buy a new kit once in a while, but if I knew I could buy any missing bits from GW I would never buy a new kit again.

>>54945213
I was actually pretty please with how my Dark Eldar were coming along but this makes them look like shit

>>54948061
>but most of them are finecast

I can't believe people are still this stupid on /tg/.

GW can't sell weapon kits for cheap unless they are metal or finecast, which you wouldn't even fucking buy. They're not going to make an entirely new plastic mold with a sprue that contains only weapons.

>hur dur just give us 10 weapons they already make

Those are mixed in to infantry sprues you dipshit.

>>54948061
It's a pain in the ass to find them, it feels like they went out of their way to make it hard to see them, they have no category in the shop beyond the webstore exclusives page. Still though, it's cool that they do sell some bits. I'd love to see the old Raptor jump packs on sale there though.
