How would you go about learning the rules if you are new? Whats the best way to get into it?

So, weird shipping question.

I pre-ordered the next White Dwarf edition from GW's website, as I've recently moved to a place where every flgs is two hours away. I also ordered a box of Venomthropes alongside it. Am I correct in assuming they won't ship the package until the White Dwarf issue ships, even though the Venomthropes are currently in stock?

>>55088291
I read the rules themselves, read some articles on them while they were still coming out and watched battle reports.

In europe a seperate company is responsible for shipping the WD, so you would get two packages, one with the models from GW, one with the WD.
If you live elsewhere: dunno.

>>55088291
GW has a starter magazine that comes with all the info you need, including rules. Also comes with a Primaris space marine. It is very cheap.

Tesla Immortals + Overlord leadership is your backbone.

>>55088596
Incorrect. They are trash now. Wraiths are now scarabs+ if you compare them to previous editions. 3 wounds, 4 attacks, 3+ hit, always wound on 5s is okay until you see their 6+ armor. Wraiths have effectively the same at Strength 6, an AP on that attack, 3 attacks per, but 12" movement that ignores terrain and a 4+3++ they outclass point-per-point.

TL;DR: I'd rather run 3 wraiths over 5 scarabs

>>55088511
It just seems like a cool concept fluff wise. Fly over the enemy and drop down a pair of walkers, they charge in with their multi-meltas valiantly.

>>55088514
I'm not going to play to win. Just playing to have fun. Fluff is more important than crunch in this regard.

While Tesla immortals are fun, I find Gauss ones unless you are running a LOT of immortals. Using this little formation in any game is an excellent way to phalanx to a good advantage.

I dont actually have more than 5 immortals so I cant really switch up what I have, but a second a 7 in front 3 in back immortal phalanx instead of just the 5 shown in pic related would make good use of it.

>>55088648
The difference is that you get 9 scarabs for the price of 3 wraiths.

Scarabs are incredibly useful for stopping deep strike, to bubble wrap unit, to get objectives and hide, and the best thing about them is that they are extremely cheap.

By spending less than a single unit of wraiths I can get two units of scarabs, that are going to be much more useful in the ways above.

Not saying wraiths aren't good, they are, but Scarabs are actually the top in the "cheap expendable units" category.

>>55088695
With Necrontir, as I have played, for units that don't stand up: quality over quantity.
The wraiths, I argue, tar-pit better than scarabs with daisy-chain melee tactics when you need to touch in 2 units, and can survive for 3 rounds of combat (6 melees) over the scarabs at-cost 1.5 rounds of combat. The scarabs can daisy-chain in more units with the same shenanigans, but will die even faster.

>>55088769
As I said, they have different uses. Scarabs don't tarpit. But against an army with deep striking unit for example two or three units of scarabs cover more than twice the space of a single unit of wraiths,

I play often against Tyranids, and my opponent is basically always forced to deep strike his trygons in his own table section because scarabsa blocks pratically every other approach vector.

Also scarabs are small, unimportant, the opponent easily forget about them, even more if they are hidden in some ruin, which makes lots of difference for objectives.

In the end I play both, but they have such different roles that is disingenuos to claim wraiths are better scarabs.

>>55088844

I don't set my army up that I have to worry about deep strike.
Played a guy last night who had 7 units that deep strike. None of them got in my backfield until turn 3, when he could only fit one in.
Without templates, 2" consolidation, daisy-chain shenanigans, shoot-em-all rules, and fielding mid-range (36"+) models, you can set up perfect 10" zones that people can't deep strike into due to the whole unit needing to be outside of 9" (1"+ bases).
Place smart, not simple, then you can put your points from scarabs into something better.

The Order of the Blazing Star operates from on and in orbit around an arid desert Feral World that is nonetheless one of the largest sources of prometheum in the sector. The Order manages the planet's tithes and output of the soundstage and guards supply avenues. They use a high percentage of the substance to fuel their ships and the unusual volume of vehicles and heavy weapons they maintain. The concentration of fuel and harsh world makes it an attractive target for orks, who the Order have developed a very delicate relationship with consisting largely of "do what we want or we'll blow up all your expensive ships" and murdering each other. (It would JUST be murder but the Order spends too much time burning out lingering remnants of tyranid infestation around the system to focus on inciting and then fighting a proper waaagh)

As of 8th the Order of the Blazing Star and their world have ended up on the dark side of the Circatrix Maledictum, so they've become more reserved in hiring xenos (because the rules won't let me) and further embraced their affinity for melta and plasma weaponry, intending to become a beacon of the emperor's light in the darkness of space

Their base world's affinity for cavalry results in avoiding footslogging like the plague in favor of jump packs and Immolators, and the low tech nature of many of their historical archives have resulted in some errors - they believe themselves an Argent Shroud successor but actually descends from the Valorous Heart

That's what I always assumed, but I've never actually seen anything in print that leads to it. Because to me things like >>55089707 just make the Emperor sound like a fucking idiot. "Oh, women are too different, so..." but we know that they're NOT. It makes a lot more sense that he purposefully just didn't do it because he wasn't trying to replace humanity, just give them protectors.

>>55089818
A massive portion of Rogue Trader has been retconned, especially the Space Marines considering they used to be regular dudes in power armor drugged up to fuck with combat stims.

>>55088386
The problem is that your guy didn't actually follow the rules, you mong

That's pretty much the canon reason. Emps built failsafes into almost everything so they wouldn't overtake humanity. That was his biggest fear with Space Marines.

I've got some Primaris but I was thinking about using them for an Alpha Legion force for 40k. Should I use the regular SM codex or the CSM one?

Both potentially give me the -1 to hit trait (thanks for copy-pasting geedubs) but CSM will get me cultists, hellbrutes and those sorts of things. Regular SM codex and the primaris specifically feel more like the sort of tactical operations AL would be doing though

>>55088386
Yep, that's a cheating faggot that you played against.

>>55089849
>especially the Space Marines considering they used to be regular dudes in power armor drugged up to fuck with combat stims
The creation of a space marine is from 1986, man. Aesthetically they've changed quite a bit, but the extra organs and physical makeup of them has remained pretty dang consistent since.

>>55089426
Haha! Time to purge!

>>55089895
Really? Everything I've read about Rogue Trader has said that Space Marines were just normal dudes. Maybe that's just me being a newfag.
I should read up more on it because I'm genuinely curious now.

>>55089739
Space Marines can't reproduce anyway. They don't have a libido since it has been written out of their genes and their psyche, and they can't traditionally reproduce because they have been rendered sterile. Same goes for the primarchs. Why would this be any different for female primarchs? They probably wouldn't have ovaries, or their womb would be unable to form a placenta meaning no lasting conception could occur.
>>55089835
It has nothing to do with your feelings. Sister's of battle are the closest thing we have to female marines. The Emperor wasn't an idiot when it came to science. He was a fucking pragmatist. If delaying the crusade in order to perfect a gene seed that would allow for the creation of female primarchs and marines would not yield any significant benefits, then he fucking wouldn't do it. He also unified terra on the promise that further conquest and domination would take place. Delaying the crusade would piss off a LOT of his allies.

>>55089890

I'd say to start with focus on building a CSM force to get lots of mobs on the tabletop. You can respec later more easily coming from CSM as well

You're version of things requires us to believe men and women are a separate species (something that people knew wasn't true even in the distant time of the 80s) or that the Emperor was an idiot. Don't you agree it makes more sense that he simply didn't WANT female space marines because (despite all the failsafes already in place) it would be an added risk? If space marines could even have perfectly human babies, why would they ever draw their recruits from normal humans ever again? They'd be independent of mankind, something the Emperor wouldn't want.

"lol, I'm so nerdy XD" or "Hey guys look at me, I'm a girl" type shit. Your a person, just act like a person. if you run into any neckbeards they're already going to treat a girl like some mystical thing that is completely different and needs to be treated as such, playing into that only intensifies the problem. Make it clear you just want to do something you enjoy, and that you want to be treated like everyone else, because unfortunately many autists don't understand that fact.

>Women play 'nids, we don't really know why.
Actually, we totally know why. Most of the female players on /tg/ years ago had rape/impregnation fantasies involving bugs. I think all those old posters are gone now, so most women here just want nids as cute monster pets. I had a gf once ask "which army has dinoaurs?" and since the answer was "Eldar have a few..." she just wanted nids because they were at least monster things like dinosaurs.

I wonder if guys are more focused on individual heroes (I know I put a lot of extra work into my warboss and nobz), but since girls aren't, they just go with the army that doesn't really have identifiable heroes. If a carnifex or hive tyrant dies, you don't make up a story about how they got better... they're just replaced by a new carnifex or hive tyrant.

primaris, chaos I dont fucking care

>>55090298
For me, if it falls out of my hand (when I'm holding all 30+ dice for a big roll) it counts. If I haven't added ALL the dice to my hand, I'm still gathering.

Also, dice that fall off the table NEVER count. Encourages sloppy rolling, otherwise.

The reason females play Tyranids is because they're the only faction that isn't overtly sexualized in a male way.

Even the females of Eldar or SoB just confirm to male fantasies, while the Tyranids are neutral or even female orientated with the 'hive queen' tropes.

You'll still run into issues with it no matter what, but if you just act normal then it should really only be autist supremes who give you trouble, but they give everyone trouble because their autist supremes.

If you like marines, there are always deals on them, and you can be sure they'll be the first to get big updates for any new editions. People will give you shit here, but that doesn't change that fact that space marines are by far the most popular army, so it's not like you won't find other people that like them.

>>55090429
you absolute madman.

I've never actually played with it yet so I'll take your opinions over mine but on a surface level Icon seems like it makes the Plaguebearers even more sticky than usual. Instrument is obviously more consistent compared to rolling though.

>Do loyalist EC just behave as random SM chapter in the crunch?
yes, though WS chapter tactics is probably the best fit, since EC liked to go fast. but you'd also want to add in some termies and other melee units, since EC really like to duel, because it proves they're superior. They didn't like libbys, since that was considered a flaw. They're big on apothecaries though.
I'd suggest using lexicanum and the HH (FW) books to get an understanding of their pre-fall origination and battle strategies to help build your fluff and crunch. Any thing else I can help with? by the way, what got you interested in 40k?

I'm thinking of building some ammo runts out of fantasy goblins I have lying around, but I can't find a source for ammo stuff anywhere
You guys know any good sources for ammo boxes and such stuff?

Hey guys I just painted my first figures, any advice?

>>55090503
so are you and retardation

>>55090484
I definitely want to play marines, either loyalist or chaos. As long as marines are the focus, not demons.


Idk why I just find the demons to be a turn off. I don't mean I think they are poorly done, just don't want to play with them.

Paint all of them with the same colors maybe? Looks pretty good otherwise.

fuck is this boys

>>55090542
practise some precision on the backs of the scarabs, both red and metallic spill over their supposed places

red backs on the warriors might need a couple thin layers of red instead of 1? thicker layer of red, not sure because of the quality but it looks messy and as if black still can be seen through the red. good work though

This responder is best responder.
How much control do you get in your "custom chapter"s crunch? How would you change that to what you like?


I play a lot of starcraft2, and freaking love total war warhammer so I bought the audio books for the horus heresy.

Fulgrim is my fave, I'm on Prospero burns atm

>>55090546
Understandable. Make sure to grab the codexes from the first mega in the OP, if you haven't already. Might help you decide exactly what you want.

>>55090412
How does he turn his head?

>>55090542
not bad, but you definitely need to work on your highlighting. also, I would suggest getting a bit of paint and cleaning up some of the little mistakes like the gold on the red back

>>55090603
He's too brave to ever turn away from danger!

>>55090603
he can turn it a bit and he has autosenses anyway

>>55090482

Ah yeah, I'll catch that before I base coat it.

Tons of models and shit.

I bought them all because I'm a rich bitch with disposable income

>>55090623
the leg lines are disgustingly huge

>>55090646

The spotlight is catching them, but trust me, they aren't the type of mould line you waste time on.

>>55090686
you literally can't waste time on mould lines

Nurgle Daemon or Death Guard models?

new player planning to get into 40k, after reading a little bit and looking at models I really like the look of the genestealer cults, how are they? And is that overkill box a good place to start or would it be more cost effective to grab things separately?
