Trying to decide between sticking with my Ynnari vs. swapping CSM for my LVO army. Need to make a decision pretty soon to make sure I'm ready with enough practice games.

Re-posting from last thread, but how do I Deathwatch? I really like the elite army that isn't loaded with psykers, but how do I even go about even arming basic kill teams? They have so many options

I'm also hearing people say terminators/watch captain in terminator armor are trash. Is this true because I really like terminators

>>55146844
Next year, probably. Just start building grot tanks until the codex hits.

>>55146782
>>55146816
Blood Bowl
A whole new game (Age of Sigmar)
Sigmarines
Even bigger truescale new breed of marines

>IG Codex soon
FINALLY
>inb4 we get nerfed into uselessness like 6th-7th again

If IG don't get a new plastic regiment set with their book, it's time to nuke Nottingham.

>>55146868

You should probably ally in some Inquisitorial Grey Knights for Terminators instead.

>>55146867
I type F for mah nigga

>>55146884

You aren't getting new models - going to be a strategems and relics book.

>>55146873
But all of that is either unrelated to 40K or just more marines... there are always more marines.

Now if 40K Bloodbowl comes out, that would be a kick in the purity seal.

"We need that plastic for Flesh Tearer upgrade sprues." - GW

>>55146746
Oh? Nothing to see friend.

>>55146870
Are rokkits the best use for grot tanks? Big shootas seem like anti infantry orks don't need, grotzookas are heavy, and skorchas are short ranged, with there random movement seems unreliable.

>>55146891
>Grey Knight terminators
Should I make it an army that shares the <Imperium> and <Adeptus Astartes> keywords or just go full blown separate vanguard detachment or something?

>>55146782
And nothing of value was lost

>>55146938
Rokkits are the best thing in the ork codex

Always take more

the new necromunda shit looks super cyberpunk and not 40k at all, or rather it looks like 40k looked 20/30 years ago

whats happening

Sisters dont even fit in the aesthetic of the imperium anymore

GW has clearly shown they are moving away with the ornate, gothic style with the primaris

>>55146951
Adeptus Astartes is a pointless keyword, the keywords that are important are Imperium and Deathwatch/Grey Knights.

>>55146951
Not him but try to make a separate Vanguard detachment so you can benefit from the +1 to psychic and deny. Also Paladins >>>>> Terminators so try to grab them if you can

>>55146965
Well, for one thing, Goliath is getting ugly as shit models. Again.

Looks 40k to me.

>>55146981
Just make sleeker modern SoB. Sci-fi female gun troops with heavy armor and capes in the silhouette of SoB would look great.

Deathwatch can take Primaris now, so you can use them to help cover weaknesses.

it's actually a skull mohawk chainaxe

Autopistol on the left looks like absolute shit. But otherwise my problem is mostly just with the paintjob. Lack of juves is also a pain in the butt, even if I understand their omission.

Anyone else already bored with 8th?

>>55147106
Still, they'd make decent Nobs with some easy coversions.

>>55147079
looks like very uninspired conversion using the kits we already got..

>>55147110

I didn't understand why Starmie and Cofagrigus were together until I realized it was probably an edit of Spongebob and Patrick.

>>55147110
You mean like how all those Genestealer Cult players out there warrented a plastic release? Or mechanicus

A plastic sisters release would create a playerbase

>>55147142

>>55147142
you know that, i know that, and every damn person knows that but GW themselves

>>55147142
It is crazy that I have a mostly painted Genestealer Cult force, as that was something I wanted since 2nd ed. Part of me feels lucky to have that, but I still want Sisters as well. Wouldn't be so bad if deals were easier to find on them, but I guess I'll just keep looking.

Who is the most annoying faction and why is it SoB players who won't stop SoBbing

>>55146868
Since deathwatch can't use their special ammo in stormbolters, they get no chapter tactics, and they cost more

Yes, it's true. Same goes for vanguard vets. Bikers are good, since they get the special ammo.

Their only good stuff is the Blackstar and mixed model troops. If you take all the options it makes a pretty neat deathstar unit.

But you can't run just deathwatch and hope to win, they cost too much to make a well balanced list on their own.

May take a Grand Master for a good terminator HQ, a Squad of Paladins, not sure what else. Because i'm doing Your Dudes stuff, I may end up only taking Gate of Infinity on Grey Knights units and say it's some sort of teleportation device because I don't want psykers everywhere, does that seem overly autistic?
>>55147019
>tfw when chad marines just don't do it for me
I think they're cool and I really like intercessors, but because they are super limited and can't take normal vehicles, they're a turn off for me now, plus what i'm probably gonna need is anti tank firepower, something they lack


Still wondering how to equip basic kill team squads though, what's good on them? Do I aim to put them in drop pods or Blackstars?

>>55147196
I'd assume more people are more annoyed with Chaos players. They seem to bitch and moan WHEN they get stuff. Even when their codex came out it was whining all day long. I know it's not all of them, but we have a few really annoying ones.

Oh, wait, you were probably making a joke, not asking for facts. Nevermind.

Am I correct in assuming that in order for me to get legion tactics, then I can't have it just be a <Chaos> detachment? And what about summoning them?
I wanted to use 20 flesh hounds as an entourage for my juggerlord.

What does a good 1000 points of tau look like, lads? Playing them for the first time tonight and trying to throw something together. Right now I'm sitting on a commander, strike team and 3 crisis suits as a starter and considering what to stick in the second half. Stealth suits to homing beacon Farsight DIRECRY INTO GRORIOUS MEREE or more gunline?

One anon suggests SUITS AND DRONES and DRONES IN SUITS. Sounds like an quick & easy memelist.

Would taking JUST the back treds of a battle wagon, and the battle wagon turret be way to big for a grot Tank conversion, compared to the forge world versions?

Orks and nids indeed as most neutral

Covers most of the Xenos, Orks+Nids+Tau+Deldar+Crons definitely would fight both man and spiky man

My brother Raven, keep meaning to go back and play the earlier games. Not really interested in collecting tau but if I found some suits for cheap I'd want to paint them up like the major NEXTs, would need some sick conversion work for Oblige though.

>>55147312
>too much of a newfag to remember Tyranidfag whining all 7E long
Yeah, cause I only started playing again when 8th was announced. Sorry I'm not holding some retarded grudge from a time I wasn't coming to /tg/, but I DON'T SEE THAT SHIT NOW, RETARD. You can make up any shit you want about the time from 6th to 7th ed, I'll assume it's probably true. I just won't care.

Only people I've really seen bitching lately are chaos guys. Which is sad, because I know we have a lot of GOOD Chaos players in the thread, who post shit they're working on often, but we do have a few annoying autistic fucks who pissed and moaned even after they got a codex right out of the gate.

I might have missed the techpriest shit because I don't care. It's just not an army I care much about, so I tune it out. I wish I could do the same with Chaos guys, but it's constant.

Also, you don't need to reply to yourself. I mean, I get it, you're upset. But don't ask questions you know you don't like the answer to.

Good HQ to compliment a Berzerker heavy Khorne Army? Other than Kharn of course, since Battalion and above needs at least 2 HQs

I would just choose something small like a chaos lord since you're just trying to meet HQ requirements. The rerolls would be nice for an assault army I would think

Whats a good battlefoam setup for space marines?

3Rhinos
1 Land raider
10 terminators

Why don't you just buy the model kit then and then run as one of the bigger Tau suits or something?

It's kinda of funny though because the armored core game carry a lot of pseudo religious themes and other more Imperial like things, it's just the Imperium doesn't do high-tech or fast mechs. It's a shame though, Oblige has potential for the Imperium due to the angel theme

Still have no idea when I'm gonna put this guy together though

Sure, as long as Orks get badass looted vehicle rules.

Also this would let chaos get some land raider options.

But I could see the rules being abused, depending on how the rules for it worked. Like if you could strap 10 auto cannons to a land raider? That would be dead Killy.

I'm assuming that you should really kit basic kill teams for anti infantry duty with a mix of shooting and CQC, Can i assume loading them in a Blackstar or 2 is pretty good?

Assuming anti tank should be outsourced then, maybe Forgeworld has options, or maybe guard/scions and have them bring objective holding bodies/anti tank.

Currently I play Black Templars, but I'm planning on building a Salamanders army in the near future (basically once they get an upgrade kit). Should I paint it up as a Black Templar or a Salamander?

>>55147679
I mean it has character, a good pose, and it's not too goofy compared to the plastic zerkers for example.
I don't see the problem. I was very happy to see they were still selling the METAL (probably some of the last non-SOB metal model) Warsmith, so why wouldn't they do the same for him?

Salamanders are better at maintaining relics, especially if you use grav bombard arms. BT fits more for the honored and gloried relic charging the enemy with claws and covered in purity seals.

Guys, I still need some help to fill the CSM roll table. I still lack quite a number of warbands, and as far as I'm aware, I've put in every one of those that have a color scheme.

Can you just shoot some warbands you know my way please? Maybe I'll find some new ones.

Also, if there are any good fan made ones, with a 1d4chan page and all, I might add them if I'm really dry.

PDF related is my current draft.

that's adorable

Commanders are really really good because they're super cheap and BS 2+ makes the reroll 1s that Tau have out the ass super good. Pack them with quad fusion blasters for vehicle destroying ideally, or else missile pods for range. Quad burst cannon are there if you want anti infantry but Tau's already got a lot of that. Maybe tri burst with ATS.

Thanks my dude. I could add some of those if I can find a color scheme showing them from the front like I found for all the others and the SM table.

>>55147875
Also you haven't got the rather obvious crimson slaughter as far as I can see.

>>55147485
>but I do hope I can build a GSC "gang" in Necromunda.
Odds of that happening are pretty good, actually, from what I remember of the Open Day a while ago Hive Secundus had a genestealer problem and was collapsed to end it, but they survived somehow. Now there's trenches and fortifications surrounding the collapsed hive to try and contain the survivors. We may well see genuine GSC gang rules this time around.

>>55148054
I think it's probably grey with a light wash of super thinned down purple.

>>55148062
But he can always die last.

>>55148076
Aren't Crimson Slaughter just World Eaters with a different symbol?

You forgot the Crimson Slaughter somehow, and here's the Chosen of Nemeroth, AKA Discount Black Legion from the Space Marine game.

>>55148070
He was replaced by a PRIMARIS CAPTAIN because Ultramarines 2nd company are the posterboys and the Dark Imperium Captain had to bump him to make sense.

>>55148070
One can easily argue that DI takes place before the codex.

No they are faggot loyalists, who got corrupted and went insane.

>>55148115

>>55148093
Gladiator Group 138 are literally World Eaters with no different symbol. If they're on there the Slaughter may as well be. Fuck it, axe 138 and put the Slaughter in their place.

>>55148076
I didn't indeed for 'autism' reasons. See how every warband has a picture showing a neutral stance and not of a model? That's the kind of picture I want, and I can't find one like that for the Crimson Slaughter.

>>55147250
Why is her forehead so big and her bolt pistol so small?

>>55148299
Thing is, I added the pre-HH and Unification war BECAUSE I try to fill it. If I remove that, that's about 15-20 more places to fill. If I had too many chapters to choose like with the SM, I'd agree, but fuck me there aren't many fluffed out warbands.

They are super fun in Alpha Legion. Being able to infiltrate a 30-40 man shooty squad into rapid fire range guarantees a couple of kills, and also gives you the opportunity to charge enemy tanks so they have to fall back and miss out on a turn of shooting. Then you can spend 2CP to teleport across the board and capture an objective or kill another target.

Haven't read it, only a passing fan, but IMO Black library has done a disservice to the iron hands. I can't remember the names of the books I read, but in both HH and 40k era, I didn't really enjoy how they were portrayed. The only chapter that suffers more is probably sallies under Kyme. Actually I am a chaos fag, which is why I am helping you with all these warband pics.

>>55148813
Not him, but I just finished eye of medusa.

Honestly disappointed with how many plotlines were just left out to dry with little explanation. The buildup was great but the payoff was minimal. I know they had to fit within premade fluff from the Clan raukann supplement that took place later but still.

also wtf is gonna happen to yolanis? Will Stronos waifu her with his big black iron cock? I am seriously goncerned.

Check their older, Rogue Trader days miniatures, as well as some of their influences. They used to wear chainmail-like armor prevalently and their pointy helmets do resemble medieval-type helmets. Some of their symbology and even mythology also loosely resembles a good deal of other cultures, though a good deal comes from other sources like Egyptian.

+++Battle Report Incoming+++

The first game I got to play this week was a 1200 point game against Necrons. It was my third game in 8th edition and his first, so we decided to keep the armies down to 1200 points and ignore detachments and command points. At the request of an anon from last week, I brought my Marauder Destroyer to the store with the intent to test it, but warned this guy it was a) a superheavy, b) a flyer, and c) supposedly overpowered in this edition. He said it was cool to give it a try so long as he got to bring 3 of his own superheavies to counter my 2. Sounds good.

Here, have the pdf. Really good book imo.

The reason is very simple, there's a sequel coming, if not 2. Hence why the Stronos-Kristos quarrel ended this way.
It'll be settled later.

+++Armies+++

My 2000 point list for the week was built around fielding every single one of my flyers, plus a bunch of techpriest enginseers to test the repair rules. As far as I’m reading them correctly, enginseers can repair aircraft even in mid flight, so I wanted to taxi them around, having them throw wrenches into the air at passing jets to restore wounds. The stormlord makes the perfect transport for this effort, confidently wading into the center of the battlefield and providing LOS cover with its massive size which enginseers toss wrenches. For this smalelr game, though, I dropped all the flyers except the marauder, reduced the enginseers to 2, took an officer of the fleet and two full squads of kasrkin to take advantage of the 20 firepoints the stormlord gives its embarked troops.

The strategy is simple: drive into the center, use stormlord as a bunker and a repair platform while the bomber circles around.

SW and Tsons being a back to back release like SM and DG were would be cool, but I'm hoping for Necrons and DEldar just because I want to drink marine player tears.

I don’t know Necron units well, but my opponent took 3 superheavies of his own including a flyer, a Necron lord to up his reanimate to 4+, and some fast attack units.

That barge thing with the massive cannon hits like a truck, and the nightbringer has some kind of attack that wipes infantry off the floor. Everything has reanimate 4+ as far as I'm aware, so compeltely eliminating units is crucial if you don't want their casualties to slowly regenerate.

CHAOS USERS WHERE ARE YOUR FUCKING SOUL GRINDER BATTALION!? WE CAN WIN!

That isn't very Salamanders-like anon, they use flame tech instead of grav tech because Noctune fucks up grav tech.

Here's the table. I always pick the desert mat since it works best with my bases, and this time threw in all the ruined buildings I could find so simulate a cityscape. I think it looks pretty cool.

+++DEPLOYMENT+++

For the third time in a row, I rolled Relic for the mission, making 100% of my games still Relic. I won the roll off to choose the deployment type and chose the one with the table quadrants, since it allowed up to start 9” from the relic instead of 12”. I knew my deployment would complete before his, so I wanted to take advantage of a first turn blitz and grab the prize early.
The sotrmlord, loaded with 2 enginseers and 20 kasrkin, went right in the center, since he doesn’t afraid of anything. The Marauder circled around the far table edge to maximize it time spent hovering over the necron side of the board while it strafed ground targets.

Necrons used one of the more sizable terrain pieces in their deployment zones as an anchor, filling it with warriors, fast attacks, and the nightbringer. A tomb spider and the weird floating cannon barge went in the backfield, and he forward deployed his lord alone near the center. I didn’t even notice he was there until my shooting phase.

>>55149249
did he put his warriors on smaller bases? His flayed ones are also weird.

>>55149273
You got a good one

+++TURN 1+++

Necrons did not seize, so the kasrkin disembarked with the enginseer and advanced on the relic, easily making it there. The enginseer picks it up with his servo harness, holding it aloft triumphantly while the kasrkin form a line to protect him. I knew that as soon as I picked the thing up I would get lit up by Necron shooting, so the kasrkin were there just to eat up damage while the enginseer fell back with the prize, using his character status to hide behind the 10 man infantry unit. The marauder moved closer, bringing its guns to bear on the ruined building full of xenos.

I prioritized the necron fast attacks on the side, wanting to get rid of things that could close distance with the relic first, and fired the stormlord into it along with the kasrkin plasma rifles. The concentrated volleys down all of them to a man, eliminating the threat of reanimation. It was then that I noticed the necron lord deployed up by the marauder, completely alone. I fired all 8 hellfury missiles at him, and dealt 12 wounds with them alone. Holy shit those missile are sick. By the time the smoke clears, all that is left of the Necron lord is a shadow on the wall behind where he was standing. Ok, this thing’s OP as fuck.

The Nercrons counter by warping in their reserves early, starting with the flyer and snipers on the south flank. Everything else stays hunkered in cover and tries to shoot down the stratofortress above.

The croissant and snipers unleash a devastating volley that drops every single kasrkin to a man and takes 2 wounds off the enginseer to boot. Nonetheless, the Omnissiah is with him and the techpriest survives the turn with relic in servo arm.

Even though it mentions that Sicaricunt was lost in the warp and the dates don't match up?

>>55149303
I'll stop it and go back to /m/ once the Konor campaign is done.

No thats the right base. GW just didnt care.

+++TURN 2+++

The storm lord throws into reverse gear and backs up. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, providing cover for the enginseer who moves and advances back to the friendly deployment zone using the tank as cover. The marauder flies southward, and I stupidly forgot to perform a bombing run with its payload.

Everything available retaliates on the deep striking robots, with the kasrkin embarked in the stormlord shooting from the firing ports to take out all but 2 of the snipers. The stormlord’s guns finish that threat off, while the marauder lines up on the xenos flyer. My Fleet Officer, still quietly perched on his second-story ruins, calls in the coordinates to buff the marauder’s shooting as it lets loose all 8 missiles on the crescent-shaped abomination, deleting it from existence. Its other weapons inflict casualties on the warriors in the cover.

The Necrons warp in some flayed ones on the north flank, trying to close in on the enginseer, but fail their charge range and just hug the cover as best they can. All the warriors and vehicles in the necron force unload into the marauder, inflicting 4 wounds as their shots largely go wild from the Hard to Hit rule. The stormlord also takes 4 wounds from the heavy cannon backfield.
