Do World Eaters ever get tired wearing those big hats?

>>55159437
so they're just fucking nakey in there huh

>>55159653
Why would you wear clothes?

what kind of rules can different forgeworlds expect in the admech codex? Will they bring back the option for a pure skitarii army?

>>55159653
I mean, there has to be at least a cloth layer between skin and metal right?

>>55159681
I mean some kind of long johns or an undersuit or something would probably be a good idea so your skin doesn't get nipped in the armour joints but idk maybe space marines get a special organ put in to prevent that happening

>>55159681
Because fuck metal on skin for extended periods of tine

So does anyone have experience with Death Korps this edition? How are they? and do they tend to come out decently well cast?

And how can I get the artillery carriages for less than FW?

>>55159690
Theres the soft armor beneath the armor, same thing that you see in the necks of the miniatures and between the articulations. Beyond that, yeah they're naked, the armor needs to be fed their shit and piss to recycle into water and nutrients so wearing clothes is counter-productive.

I think it's easier than assembling them after painting. Trying to line wrists up with hands attached to the guns while not getting glue over your paintjob is harder than painting around the gun to do the chest on cadians at least.

Assembly after painting really only works for marines, orks and skitarii (where you glue the arms to the torso but keep the legs separate) in my experience.

Is it possible to make a voidweaver which doesn't look retarded? The prism cannon seems too good to not take one, but I can't get over how goofy the rear gun seems.

>>55161940
Are you retarded?

>>55159731
You can just find people that sell generic World War artillery models. Glue some Aquilas on them and there ya go.

did gscb get banned?

How are Chosen with just combi bolters now? What would be the best legion tactics to run with them?

>>55162560

Are rhinos important in a Death Guard list? Or in chaos lists in general ( it seems they are not that great to take with SM, so..)

>>55159718
> implying they don't enjoy it

I keep telling you chaos guys to use your soul grinders.

>>55169323
rhinos are overpriced and not really worth taking. for sm razorback at least makes up for it by being a discount predator.

>not really worth taking
lrn2play

Since I think I've got all the models I want for my Astra Militarum Army (a valkyrie is still unassembled until I think of something better to do with it than potentially be a Scion bus, if for some bizarre reason I don't want to deep strike those), so I've been thinking of expanding my Tzeentch cult second army.

Right now all I have is a pack of Rubric Marines, along with a few cultists I got mostly to examine the style. I also got a box of Neophyte Hyrbids for autogun bits, but there's still plenty of pieces in that box to use for mutant pieces.

I spied a box of Flagellants in the stack of leftover Fantasy models at my FLGS, and thought that some of those bits would be perfect for cultists. Would it be blasphemy if I used those for bits, though? The only Fantasy I ever got into was a bunch of pewter greatswords and a pewter Steam Tank that you could probably bludgeon somebody to death with.

>>55167043

Why is it that when I ask about Chinaman I get told to die, but when I ask for a way to get things cheap suddenly everyone says go China?

Because no one will spoonfeed you the contacts. Learn to look for yourself or enjoy the jewworld prices

>>55171992

BTW any experience with MirandaIrene?

Any smart anons got ideas for a 20pl no duplicate units list for renegades and heretics. Really don't want to have to play as CS just for stronger rules....

Just got the new DeathGuard and currently assembling 1500 pts.
Looking at the army now, how should I play them?
Slowly advance until I get gunned down?
Do I just cram Rhinos and land raiders?

>>55176945
What new death guard? the starter set stuff?

If so, wait till codex to make your choices. Can footslog, transport. Up to you... they aren't rocket science.

>>55176976
Oh
There's a CSM codex coming out soon?
I guess I'll wait if anything.
Btw, did GW release any info on the Mortarion or the DG termies?

>>55177041
CSM codex came out a few weeks ago

Death guard codex comes out september 19th, same for mortarion.

Terminators have no date yet

Why are conscripts considered OP?

>>55179674
sheer numbers and they're super cheap.

stick them with a commissar and you have the ultimate bubblewrap. They have hundreds of shots, and sure they're wounding on 6s on anything of significant armor, but the sheer volume of shots will tear through most things.

If GW got rid of Chaos, should anyone really mind?

hahahahahhaha

no

half your entries are batshit or worse, so you need to do with what little good stuff you have. (hint heavy weapons + BS5+ equals fukk this shit) you dont have access to orders aswell.

example you might want snipers. 2sniper rifles do diddley. more means duplicate units

Primaris flyer, termies, and drop pods when?

I have a friend who plays 40k and he thinks Space Marines do jobs like mercenaries. Help.

>>55180301
they don't

not officially anyways, unless they're renegades out past the light of the Astronomican.

There's some wheeling and dealing that goes on depending on the chapter but it's not outright ever.

I want to run a list that looks like

>Supreme command detachment
>3x Daemon prince

>Supreme command detachment
>3x Greater Daemon

Maybe some gribblies to fill in. What God should I run and why? Also are there any good third party DP/GD models? Running the same model seems a bit gay.

Hey guys, I've been looking to get into 40k for a while now, and was looking for suggestions on what army to field. I was thinking of a Wraithknight centric Eldar army.

Das bronze m8. Like a really tan dude my dude.

Is anyone supposed to be so impressed by the new and constant fluff about the Heretic Astartes of the Long War that they fawn over how they had to battle countless infirmities and foes over thousands of years just to have a chance to fight the servants of the 'false emperor'?

Because to me, It only makes the average loyal Astartes even more amazing. To me, the average loyalist is surrounded on all sides in a hostile galaxy - and all he has is his faith in the God Emperor, his faith in his battle brothers, and his faith in his bolter. Blessed is the loyal heart, damned is the traitorous soul.

Greetings from NOVA

>>55180371
There are three different looking versions of blood thirster with different weapons.

I'll let you decide what you should do with that information.

>>55180301

Chaos ones and renegades do. Loyalist ones would only be "mercenaries" for Inquisitors or other marines, like a more famous chapter master or Primarch. which isn't really mercenary work.

>>55180740
Chaos ones don't. Unless you count Berzerkers killing the enemies of a warband, and then that warband, for free.

>>55180513
I was planning on using Harlequins, but with a focus on Wraithbone constructs.

>>55180801
That's awesome. What units?

>>55180779

Then they wouldn't be mercenaries, they'd be charity workers

How important is having a psyker in your army in general?

How good are the armies in Dark Imperium as a core to build up around? I've been holding off getting into 40k but 8th ed looks interesting and the death guard models look pretty sweet.

>>55180939

Get three sets of starter Plague Marines and you're good to go to shit on most armies. Primaris marines can be decent by themselves but require more tools to perform consistently well.

>>55180817
Most likely Players, Wraithguards, Wraithknights, Shadowseers, and a few sets of Skyweavers/Starweavers.

>>55180892
Depends on your meta. You might want one for denying shit if lots of psykerfags pop up in your area.

I want to use Cypher and Fallen in my CSM list (I have a LOT of CSM stuff, Thousand Sons army, Death Guard, and just CSM), but I dont know what role they can really serve. All I can really think of is throwing them in a transport with ccw's, plasma pistols, and charge them into combat.

Any other thoughts?

>>55181503
>transport
no-can-do, they don't share the right faction keywords.

>>55181520
No one would play with someone who withholds rhinos from fallen players. That's not even double nigger. That's like, triple nigger.

>>55181570
They're literally "chosen, but better" for the same cost, last I remember. No transports is their weakness to make up for that.

This isn't a "houserule a bad unit" thing, this is a "GW is incompetent and their RAW inexplicably contradicts the reasonable RAI, with total disregard for fluff and balance."

>>55181601
Cheaper than chosen with the same stats, built-in Commissar, and have a 3% chance of blowing themselves up with plasma to any other unit's 17%. And they can take melee weapons more readily than chosen.

I mean, but sure, sounds shitty to me anon. Guess you're right.

This is starting to piss me off. What is the point of EVER taking Chosen when you have Fallen and Havocs? Good work GW.

>>55181782
Chosen can ride transports and be infiltrated by Alpha Legion dickery. And have useful weapon options besides plasma

More flexible than Fallen by a fair margin - Fallen can basically be built for one and a half job but Chosen can do whatever

Yeah, unless fallen can take transports they don't have anything on chosen. Can't get OP alpha legion traits or infil.

On this discussion of Fallen, I feel like they might get their own minidex/codex with expanded units, considering how they got grouped with TSons and DG who both are getting their own books.

Bumping for advice, new to 40k and need advice.

Let's talk melee Plague Marines.

Have any of you run them yet to test them out?

If you have, how did you run them? If not, how would you run them?

Besides pen and paper is there anything better than battlescribe to write up some lists?

>>55182218
Chisel and slate

>>55182140
Well that's vastly superior to what I've been doing.

What are your secrets, anon.

>>55182152
You need another HQ for that 3cp detachment,
>>55182177
also drop the assassin for the chapter tactics.

Otherwise it looks kinda fun, maybe bring a predator or something.

>>55181862
Culexus being taken ruins your legion tactics
You should put him in his own detachment

You need to run 2 HQ units in a battalion detachment

Tac squads can only take one heavy weapon in them, unless you mean only 2 of those squads have missile launchers

Devastators generally are better off with weapons other than heavy bolters.
I don't think your list really needs more massed fire.

Also, I think you have forgotten to add in the points for weapons.
Download something like battlescribe and it'll help you get the points right
Looks closer to 1,500pts

>>55182228
>>55182229
Don't even know what else I expected tbqh.

>>55182252
Seriously, though, I use LibreOffice Calc (poorfag Excel) and then screencap my lists if I need them on my phone.

>>55182232
Thanks man, I've just been "greasing" up a rakarth flesh based 30k color scheme (because it looks better AND I can tanks and stuff in both 30k and 40k)

for all the details I've just been using the new death guard paint guides from a recent white dwarf (I can post if anybody wants it)

I've found all the new color variety they're rolling with for DG works way better on a white/creme base

>>55182177
>>55182233
>>55182242

Didn't know the assassin would ruin the tactics, thanks. Guess he can be in his own detachment, or I can find something else to fill the gap.

> unless you mean only 2 of those squads have missile launchers

Yup.

> Devastators generally are better off with weapons other than heavy bolters.

Anything else would put them over the point limit, so I guess I should just ditch them.

> Looks closer to 1,500pts

I have downloaded Battlescribe, the numbers do indeed work out.

> Captain 74pts
> Scouts 142 pts
> Tactical Squads 267 pts (forgot a sergeant had a plasma pistol)
> Assault Squads 132 pts
> Terminators 192 pts
> Devastators 105 pts
> Culexus Assassin 90pts

Would have been 1002 pts, but I was hoping to finagle it around if that ever became a problem.

Sure showed us. How stupid you are, that is. If it's "purely for convenience" having to manually check that shit anyways defeats the whole purpose. It's like a tool that measures how much water you pour, but it's not reliable so you have to measure it with a measuring cup anyways. Then why not just cut out the middleman?

>>55182492
Can you not put the GSC and Guard in the same detachment or something? Works just fine for me.

>>55182516
>if you aren't checking your list for a tournament, and relying purely on BS, then you deserve to be fucked by it
I'm with you there, but at this point I think I'll just keep it all on a pad of paper. Maybe I'll use BS to make the final copy or something.

>>55182544
>Specifically said for a tournament
Can you fucking read at all?

It's quick, easy, and convenient

okay then, what's the issue with those big boats then?

I'm considering getting into 40k after playing a demo game at a convention. I always thought that there were Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Xenos and Chaos Xenos and some random other factions to play (like Imperial Guard and Necrons).
But apparently there is a million Space Marine chapters that all play differently?
Is there a beginner friendly guide that's a bit accessible on what's what?
Also where can I get caught up on Lore?
What is considered the usual/normal army size?
What else should I be aware of before starting?

Thanks, lads

>>55185532

Space marine are usually where people start, but i'd have a look at all the factions first and see if anything really grabs you before just defaulting to them.

The rulebook has a great primer in the front. there are links to the PDF and EPUB in the OP. Go have a geeze if you haven't already.

>But apparently there is a million Space Marine chapters that all play differently?

Only chapters and legions of first founding like ultra marines or thousand sons have big diffrences between them. Even then my dear sweet alpha legion has almost no toys. Don't worry about that too much.
>Is there a beginner friendly guide that's a bit accessible on what's what?
I believe there's an official magazine about SM. But our OP should be more than enough.
>Also where can I get caught up on Lore?
Wikipedia or lexicanum, just pick whatever you want and read it. Some novels are good but that's a diffrent question.
>What is considered the usual/normal army size?
Depends, most of people play either 1k/1050 or 2k points. Power levels are bad and used only for pickup games.
>What else should I be aware of before starting?
Start collecting! boxes are really good value and if you wanna start just get one-two of those.

Honestly 1d4chan isn't a bad place for a beginner to start. It will explain things and describe the factions although it's a bit memeish. Also ignore the rules stuff, it's out of date.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000

If you want a dryer but more canon description of the factions and background try Lexicanum.
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

For learning the background the best place to start is actually the Rulebook. You'll want a copy eventually, and it comes in the "Dark Imperium" starter set. But you can also find a link to it in the megaupload links in most other 40k general threads.

In 7th edition I started building the 5th Company of the Dark Angels (after I started Deathwing in 6th) to supplement my army. With the new pPrimaris marines, I've caved and bought the store-anniversary captain. I want to add a force of primaris marines but not in my company, which is already planned out, so I'm considering adding a successor chapter to my collection which will be fully primaris. I plan to use them alongside my Dark Angels.

Any suggestions for a successor chapter? Do I pick an existing one? One of the ultima founding maybe? Or create a new one? I kinda like the Angels of Redemption and Blades of Vengeance.

Ahoy!

For those of you in need of a good way to convert such symbols to painted objects, freehanding is a thing of the past!

I come with transfers. HOMEMADE TRANSFERS!

Printed using a standard high-DPI printer (versions for both inkjet and laserjet are available) and combined with a layer of clear acrylic spray, you can make any shape you want. It's not as cheap as simply painting it on, but it works.

A few caveats: if you're making an image that has white in it, you'll need to be creative, since white in printer-language is 'don't put ink here'. instead, print (onto a white transfer sheet) a background for your transfer that matches the paint that you're using. Hex codes will get you close enough, and most GW and Vallejo codes are available here:

https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

I hope to see some amazing transfers out of all of you. Get to it!

How is it you both know and don't know what is going on?

>>55185856
Probably because they keep the older pages for those who still play those editions for some reason or another.

>>55185889
Most Space Marine armies at 1000 points are usually at the Battalion level, which is 2 HQs, 2 Troops, and extras for fire support. something like 30 guys between your leaders, your meat and potatoes, and your fire support. Then a few vehicles or field guns on top of that.

At the 2000 point level you start to use lots of heavy units like terminators and centurions, so it's not an even ratio. 40 or so models is probably right, including vehicles. Unless you want to blob up, but that's not too effective as Space Marines.

Guard, on the other hand, can run something like 50 dudes without even breaking 200 points. A 2000 point army is likely to have something on the order of 75-90 men, between the main force and fire support. Increased tank density will roll that back into the 50 model range, but that's what the other end of the specturm looks like.

>>55185883
I painted up a blades of vengeance primaris while trying out colour schemes. Can confirm that it does look pretty good on an actual model (though wasn't my favourite of those I tried, so model's been repainted meaning can't give a pic, sorry).

>>55185883
Halved and quartered scheme are a lot more work. Only tackle those if you're sure.

Personally I like Guardians of the Covenant since they're the least asshole DA. One of a handful of actual good guy chapters.

>>55185889

Depends on the army and what kind of units you're looking to use.

Very nice thank you. Is there a good resource where I can look at painted up armies from all factions? I have seen a bunch of armies but was never really able to suss out what's what in WH40k

>>55186015
Honestly just using Google image search is easiest. You'll find stuff. Coolminiornot.com has a repository but it focuses on individual minis.

>>55185969
I figured as much. How many dudes do you run in your army/faction/playstyle?

>>55186015
Get googlin'. Beyond the codex and index samples the only real rule is 'make it good and make it sensible'.

>>55186042
I play Tau, I run 54 models.

>>55186042
Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) routinely run 100-200 guys and a bunch of Vehicles in 2k. Imperial Knights are an army of just big robots where you'll only have 4-5 models in a pure knights 2k army.

>>55185954
I'm not shy of trying halved or quartered schemes, I do a bit of free handing with my Dark Angels such as the company and squad icons.

>>55186042
Guardbro here, I usually end up with 80 or so models in a 2k game. I'm a bit of a treadhead though.

If I'm up against a strong army I go the 'double barrel' of 2x50 Conscripts, which jacks the model count into the 130s. It's seriously strong, though; I haven't lost a game with it yet.

Have we got a date or any more info about the admech codex yet?

"f you take a look at the Astra Militarium, the most human and fleshy of the 40K range, you’ll see a host of miniatures that draw on historical references but all those models are white. There is nothing drawn from African, Japanese, or Hispanic references. The Peoples’ Army from China, the largest army in the world, has no representation."

I love it when people think Cadia is the entire guard. Everyone seems to forget there's a guard world for every single stereotype/kind of warrior you can think of.

>>55186195
Eh. The only Asian inspired "major" regiment are Attilans. that said, most people miss that the guard are based more on famous movie soldiers more than cultural armies specifically. Asian cultural influence is minimal in general in 40k. Mainly just Scars and their successors.

Got a FUN game today vs probably Nids but maybe Death Guard. Narratively were saying that Company Commander King Nigger Jew was giving a last minute inspection of the Strongpoint before it got packed up since the campaign was almost over and the battle lines were miles away. Seismic activity/warp fuckery however awoke a burrowed enemy force right on their doorstep and the only reinforcements they could secure in time was a small Scion force that just happened to be in the right orbital position. Wish me luck, I expect to fall holding the line.

Holy nutballs, that's dumb. Just paint 'em in PLA camo and use a different paint tone for the skin.

Or paint 'em brown, and use ENDF camo.

Or JSDF, or...does this mong even understand that these guys are supposed to be 'generic human male in armor'?

The reason tallarns and elysians and mordians catachans and kriegers and steel legionnaires have their own look is because it's too far from 'modern armored infantry' to be doable with a paint job.

Meanwhile LITERALLY EVERY MODERN ARMY CAN BE REPRESENTED WITH A CADIAN AND A GOOD PAINT JOB.

You only get 2 orders for 3 squads, and without a vox-caster in the Command Squad the ones in your Scion squads are useless.

Furthermore while RAW it's legal, it'll raise some eyebrows to use a non-scion Command Squad.

Also isn't a 400 point fortification a bit much in an 800 point game?

Friend, have you read the new guard rules for 8th? Commanders are separate from command squads now and just need to be next to a vox to extend their order range to another vox.

>>55186244
Even then, cadians aren't inspired by any modern military, they're inspired mostly from the movie Aliens
He's trying to twist the lack of modern chinese regiment on racism because "oh, they deserve representation because there's so many of them"
they're just not cool enough, that's why
non of the modern militaries are cool enough as a matter of fact, that's why there's no "modern military" inspired regiment in the range

>>55186289

This article sometimes reads like much ado about nothing. I'm not sure it really matters that a miniatures company doesn't make some of their professional painters paint some of the models black or yellow solely for diversity's sake. Also I don't like how he kind of dismisses offhandedly that a game that gives you amazing freedom in how you paint your stuff is somehow not an option because the creators don't explicitly mention you can paint your dudes brown.

But that will never be enough. It's not that there aren't enough brown or yellow or purple or whatever, it's that there's too much white.

No shit, because you were wrong and was told you were wrong but decided to keep harping on it.

>>55186489
What purpose do command squads have now anyway?
The only thing i use them for is carrying special weapons instead of a special weapons squad for that 3+ hit for the same price
my officers either stay with veterans for added protection or run around with the infantry, which defeats the purpose of having a small 4 man squad carry a vox caster
the fact that they're not in the same unit as the officer anymore defeats the point of running them as a "command" squad instead of a regular squad

>>55186266
I don't understand your point broham. Maybe I'm being dumb but I'm not using the command squad to vox, I'm using it to man the fort since I can't afford a full vet team AND the Bolters. The Prime is going to drop next to probably the volley gun team and use their vox to order the other two teams as needed. Do I misunderstand vox rules in 8th? I don't have my index on me but I thought I just needed to be within 3" of one?

>>55186520
So apparently 'explain to me how i'm wrong' and 'where is the vox caster where it's supposed to have been for three editions' is sperging. Okay.

>>55186549
That. Scion command squads are 4 plasma drop fuckers while regular guard squads are pretty much the same. Before it was faq'd to 1 command per HQ people were throwing three squads of plasma in chimera for a 24 Overcharge shot surprise when they disembarked.

>>55186567
No, you're not wrong. The way the Vox rule is written now is that you just need two vox casters, one next to the commander and one in the ordered squad. The commander's vox doesn't have to be in a command squad anymore.

>>55186549
They're there mainly as a legacy unit because GW sells IG command boxes and longtime players already have the models for them. That said if you were to want a medic or standard bearer in your army that's how you include one.

>>55186605
Oh okay good. So....my inefficient and u optimized FUN list is good to go?

>>55186549
They get the medic, extremely high weapon density, and in the case of non-scion command squads, they get heavy weapons at BS 3+.

That's about it, though.

>>55186616
Yeah, vox-wise you're good. Though I still raise the objection of devoting half your points to fortifications.

Seems to me it's a bit like bringing a 500-point Super-Heavy to a 1000 point game.

>>55186638
It hits on 5s. Its actually pretty terrible for its cost. Peach-anon got convinced to get it and immediately regretted it. You could do 200X better with any equivalent super heavy.

Can any admech players here tell me what Haywire's good for now. So far my Arc Breachers have killed 1 Rhino in 5 games. When they hit they seem to hit real hard but the problem is actually wounding something, they just seem like a more expensive but worse lascannon at this point.

>>55186810

Would giving the attacker +1 CP in the 40k game for each landing point he generates in orbit be appropriate? I'm unsure if that wouldn't escalate too much.

I've heard UM tactics can make bikes perform well, does an outrider army with three bike squads work?

I am trying to make a SM army and UM seem fine enough

>>55180371
Supreme Command gives you LoW slot as well, so you can run Magnus/Knight/Lord of Skulls.

Today, I heard a GW employee tell someone you can't have both a Bolter and a Power Sword on a model, because the Bolter is a 2-handed weapon.
Is that actually in the rules or was he making shit up ?

>What's the dumbest thing you've read today, /40kg/?
"Yes, you can paint the miniatures any color you like, but that doesn’t make them representative of people of color. If you paint an orange blue, it’s still an orange."

>tfw you cant paint a human a human skin tone

>>55187030
Its certainly possible, but things like Autocannons or overcharged Plasma would have a field day with you, so they'd probably need some support. But as part of a larger force, yeah they'd be good.

>>55186994

If you want to just fuck your shit up, do BFG for space, and translate it into Epic on the ground (larger victories in Space equal larger/more successful landings on the ground). Then 40k proper games for small skirmishes on the ground against HVTs and Zone Mortalis boarding actions against enemy ships in space.

Trying to track this would make your head explode, and the rounds would be glacial because nested sub-games (boarders, skirmishes) would have to be played out before the larger fields (BFG, Epic) could move on. It'd be like the wargame equivalent of MtG's Shahrazad card.

>>55186129
Why do people like this always forget that you can paint your guys however you want?

>>55187093

Making shit up. Unless the options say your have to replace that Bolter with the sword or a Bolt Pistol, then it's BS.

>>55187093
Total bullshit, that hasn't been a thing since ... 3rd edition or something. Never listen to GW employees when it comes to rules, they don't know shit about the game they're selling most of the time.

>>55187105
So is it generally better to run the battalion group and not go purely bikes?

Sry, am noob

>>55187110
I would but I none of us has epic armies and we want to finish in one evening.

>>55187093
Check the wording on their index/codex entry. If it says may take a power sword instead of may replace/trade/swap bolter for power sword then you can, otherwise not.

Bolters being gyroget weapons would have negligible recoil for a power armoured marine though so I'm sure they could fire it in one hand.

Generally speaking though, he's right. Most models can either take a ranged weapon or a melee weapon(s) and pistol.

>>55187143
This is what I have so far

1500 point list

HQ-
Tigurius
SM Capt on bike w/ MC boltgun

FA-
Bike Squad x3
Sergeant w/ combi-plas
Atk Bike w/ multimelta
Biker w/ pistol x2

I've literally only begun putting it together

>>55187176
Is tigurius just running around?
>hey guys, wait for me!

>>55187190
So far yes, to be honest I want to use red scorpions but am not sure if FW stuff is allowed. Tigurius is another librarian IC so I am using him instead.

I want a librarian so I don't get psyker'd off the board lol

>>55187200
A random librarian jogging desperately trying to keep up with the rest of the army is not gonna help much lol. The best psyker defense is still killing the psyker.

>>55187229
Okay forgive my ignorance.

Let's say for a moment I want to use a named librarian that doesn't have access to movement options. What kind of army do you need to build around him with?

He can't use his shit while in a transport, no? He can't even try to deny

>>55187200
You should go for Red Scorpions if you want to!

FW is allowed in any reasonable venue, and RS aren't OP, anyone who would refuse to play you is just an asshole.

>>55187256
>named librarian

That pretty much means it has to be either foot slogging or riding around in a vehicle.

For those of you excited about Slaneeshmas next year, I've got a nice fat stocking stuffer for you. DOOMRIDER has been confirmed to make a return. The bike and rider are fused together, with the bike itself looking like nothing else in the 40K universe. The only thing that comes relatively close is the design of the Skullcannon of Khorne. Rumor has it that it may be a limited-edition run, but that goes against previous information. He who lives shall see.

how do you speck power fists on death watch terminators with the under slung weapon like flamer or multi melta points wise sorry

>>55187290
Ok fair enough, I get paranoid about those kinds of things.

I want to use both characters if I can, but I only have cataphractii terminators to go with culln.

I figured I can use Loth quite effectively because he can deny 3(!) times

I am open to ideas on how to use them effectively

>>55187315
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
>Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

>>55187153
In this case, it was about the loadout on a Deathwatch Marine.
I guess it refers to the "up to two items from this list" and "one item from that list" thing. Nothing says you can't take one item from the first list, and one from the second list. In my BA army, I have a sergeant with a combi-flamer in one hand and a power sword in the other, and I believe it's perfectly legal.

>>55187315
I've also hear confirmation that DOOMRIDER will come mounted inside a plastic Chaos marine Thunderhawk.

>>55187315
I don't like it when you lie about things I want

>>55187352
Of coures after Lion riding on plastic thunderhawk with plastic SoB inside.

>>55187315
paint him for me on ms paint and I will believe you daemon

Is the Seargent Lieutenant limited edition?

>>55187315
didn't he get killed by Kor'sarro Khan?

>>55186432
I had some old metal Catachans, a few happened to look like they'd look best as black or brown. One particular one had a Bruce Willis vibe to me, so I gave him some stubble to bring it out. I never actually started IG, so I sold them.

I was going to make a few of my GSC guys black, but I started with my aberrants, and the black one looks a bit odd due to the purple splotches of skin I added more or less blending in with the brown. It just didn't look the way I wanted, so all my neophytes are really pale white. For my orks, i try to get some variation in the green, but that's mostly just because I try different things out a lot.

>>55186435

Hey guys, i need your help.

Yesterday, i played against guy fielding Magnus. I knew he would bring him and i heard that he's really strong, so i checked your wiki and found out that SS/Thunderhammer termies are good against him. But when i tried to use my Deathwing, they were unable to get through his invul, and then he blown them up next turn.

So, how should i use them effectively against Magnus?

>>55187326
>Any model may replace it's powerfist or power sword with a weapon from the Deathwatch Terminator Melee Weapon list
On that list
>powerfist and meltagun

So
Powerfist - 20 points
Meltagun - 17 points

Powerfist and meltagun - 37 pts

Magnus vs no-psykers is like that one episode of the Boondocks when that guy with a fear of being prison raped is trapped with an escaped con.

>>55186435
Why does seemingy no one actually have the table space for a proper apocalypse game? crowded slugfests like this are 100% pointless.

When did GK came from anti-daemon elite force of psykers to mindbullet everything?

>>55187627
They could have archived something resembling a good one by putting the other table on one of the sides, but whatever.

I've got some money saved. Should I open a GW in my city? Closest one from here is 40 minutes away, and nothing in the opposite direction driving for at least one hour.

>>55187419
Most stores lack the space to do 4x3 or even 6x4 games. Atleast where I am from, the biggest store has 2 6x2 Tables upstairs and downstairs.and its pretty tightly packed.

I also find it incredibly hard to measure/Move Units without knocking over stuff if the Table is that big and has appropiate terrian. Unless its really low to the ground table

>>55187682
How much money do you fucking have saved?

>>55186483

wow. how do such retards have so much money?

>>55187682
Why open a GW instead of a general Store that also makes money of MtG and other games as well as warhammer. Then again you probably will just be a contractor and have to pay (and buy) whatever stuff they send you. local LGS owner sits on a lot of Warhammer related stock that he kinda has to discount away because they were made redundant by all the SC! and special Deal Boxes. he does make a lot of cash by doing tournaments and mtg related stuff though

Also Im not sure you can just say of yea Im opening a official GW/warhammer store but I dont know exactly how it works

>>55187787

What does a footslogging librarian pair well with? Other footsloggers I assume, but are we talking tacticals in a drop pod, or something more punchy?

Also wouldn't being the franchisee be different from actually running the store?

>>55187787
You shouldn't need $300k to open a franchise.

And you'd be silly to open just a GW. You want to diversify your products. Card games are big. Do Magic and Pokemon tournaments.

Also for those that don't know, this is a fucking 2x2 Realm of Battle board tile with rules.

i'm starting a Cron list with a spess-egypt theme (original i know)

I'm gonna basecoat them sandstone and use that colour pretty much where black would be for vanilla ones and then use a brass colour instead of silver

what should the gauss rod/eyes/symbols/energy be? blue is my best guess for what would look nice but i'm very open to suggestions

Yes, it would be under a franchise contract, which means I would have to give them a lot of the money I could potentially earn, yet this comes under some financial securities I am interested in.
And that's where my doubts were, the place im eyeballing to purchase is pretty big, it could fit 6 gaming tables and a huge counter, so why make it GW? I fail to see perks beside the financial security im seeking, I want a store to throw money once or twice and chill knowing once I reach 60+ years old I can retire and watch a new generation of nerds falling into the same hobby I fell into.
>>55187877

If you paint a tiny plastic man white, it's still a tiny plastic man. Same goes for any other colour. I don't understand their point, do they think that GW sculpts faces in such absurd detail that racial differences are easily visible?
