Primaris Psyker are IG which is the better army than Chaos, by a long shot. They can also be taken in an IG detachment while Malefic Lords need to be slotted in with a Renegade and heretics Detachment. which means you'd need to bring atleast 3

The Primaris Psyker also has Weapons while the Malefic lord (literally) fights with his bare hands.

Well I started with Death Guard.

The thing I want is for the Plague Marine kits to be very rich with bits. I've got 17 Plague Marines at the moment, of which I've build/based/painted 10.

If I were to get the 3 man kit again, and a new set I'd have 30.

That means I could run 6 lots of 5 or 4 lots of 7 easily. And I want tons of plasma guns, tons of blight launchers, tons of flamers and stuff from that kit since those weapons are quite good.
>>
>>55273841
>>55273861
They both have 4.
The FW one has a 4+ invul sav, Primar has a 5+ armor save.
The FW one gets much better and more attacks if it ever takes perils. 2+WS S8 5 attacks with -2 ap and 2 damage.
So no, the FW pskyer is much stronger.
And 10 points cheaper.

The Primaris is still in the objectively better army and much easier to slot into your IG army than it is to Slot an Malefic-Daemonhost into your CSM Army.

It is better side by side. but unless youre full Waac and literally spam nothing but them its really no big deal.

I am on the same boat. I trimmed from excessive stuff a bunch bought for cheap on ebay, then (I don't think I am original) I used heads and weapons from the blightkings and other nurgle bits. Waiting for new ones got on ebay, I am having a blast just converting.
My only fear is that the Terminator and Power Armor characters that are not unique will suck. That is a lot of conversion work that will be lost.

I just want those Enclaves melee options since I like their flavour and style better. Up close and personal when you want etc

I'd like to see subteranean and spore mine themed stratagems for Nids.

I'd like to see a genestealer stratagem that reveals one of your opponent's units was sabotaged or subjugated somehow before the battle. Like maybe a "hidden traitors" stratagem that allows you to make a shooting attack with one of your opponent's non character infantry models.

And there. Frankly I'm surprised they manage to hold a society together at all if they're all that stupid, but I suppose we've seen a non-representative sample of 85% complete idiots.
Maybe things will improve a bit now we're a proper faction.

>>55273513

Given he seems to have bothered to make all the other factions in said novel less than cartoonishly retarded it seems a little much to just go with "you're all fuckwits because GRIMDARK". It's always been pretty ambiguous how much the Admech actually know, but the BL writers seem to have come down hard on the "they're all a cargo cult apart from the plot devices" recently.

I didn't just use the novel, given it was mentioned he was a main designer for 8e. I put together TWO pretty much completely unfounded assumptions, which is even worse in terms of credibility. I concede that point, although I mentioned it all of twice.
>>
>>55274005
You don't think being able to stick 12 psychic characters in a valkyrie, have them disembark within smite range of the enemy, summon 1500 points of daemons and then get 12 smites off, all for less than 500 points is completely appropriate?

>>55273833
Tau FW units don't seem overpowered at all to me. They had to give R'alai and R'myr errata buffs to make them playable. All the other special suits have only two hardpoints. Crisis commanders are objectively much better. (But tell me if there's something I'm missing. I haven't played with all of it, of course.)

This. If Tau were constrained by real logic, they would just use hammerheads and fire warriors. And while we're at it, why are they ever fighting land battles? They should just blast their opponents apart from orbit. And oh yeah, why don't they just enslave or hire psykers to pilot through the warp so they can start doing that all on a grand scale.
>>
>>55274254
It would be extremely plagueful
>>
>>55274268
Theres always room for diplomacy without nuking them first. Mechs are a part of Tau aesthetic. I agree that Tau do need SOME form of better FTL to fit into the larger universe. And the original guy I replied to was trying to ask why the Tau built bigger mechs when it's not "logical" which is why I made the claim that evetything 40k isn't logical so this claim is very minor.

What was it like for DG players when they learned that DG would get new sculpts and attention?

It must be bittersweet, essentially having your old models invalidated with how stark the difference in quality is. Such a feeling Marine players must feel to a degree with Primaris too.

>Mechs are a part of Tau aesthetic.
Yeah, I agree. I'm not the guy you were talking to earlier (I'm only the guy you responded to with this post). Tau can't be constrained to IRL logic, but they're closer to it than the other factions. And that's how it needs to be. With the exception that yes, they need FTL travel because this is absurd. It would be easy enough for them to use a client race. In fact, they must already have a client race that could help them with this. This is my actual greatest hope for the new Tau codex. An update on this aspect of their fluff. We have an entire sphere of expansion that's just missing and could easily have gotten flung off somewhere interesting.

What? The Blood Crusade wasn't anywhere Baal. In fact, the Great Rift is many many light years away and whatever took the Tyranids did nothing to harm the planets of the Baal system and nearby celestial objects. So the only logical conclusion is that the Tyranid somehow fucked up. My speculation is that the Tyranids saw the birth of the Great Rift and then travel towards it before plunging inside.

>>55274388

Here is the map. The Great Rift is nowhere near Baal. The only clue to what happened to the Tyranids is Ka'pandaman's symbol of a moon and I think it's a red herring. Trillions of Tyranids couldn't disappear like that unless the Hivemind miscalculated.

1: The Great Rift

>Just when you thought the Imperium couldn’t get any darker, Abaddon – and the birth of another Aeldari deity, and Magnus tearing whole planets out of the warp, and loads of other reality-ripping events – go and split the whole galaxy down the middle! The fall of Cadia was only one of the triggers in a chain reaction tearing reality apart at the seams and threatening to send the galaxy as we know it spiralling into the maw of the Chaos Gods.

Nope, Number one on the list is Chaos.

And the "Devastation of Baal" novel says that Chaos is the far greater threat than the Nids. Destroying all of reality > eating stuff.

It's hard to tell but did you use a primer to begin with? Because that's the whole point of a primer, to help paint stick.

A retarder medium might help too, it's supposed to increase the working time of the paints, the one i have is almost gell like so might help flow. But then again, some paints just suck too, and short of an airbrush, won't go on well.

That's the number one catastrophe.

WRONG. Necron phase devices have malfunctioned before rendering the Necron body unable to teleport. For examples, one of the deathwatch banners have the skulls of several Necron Overlords and an Ork warboss wears the the head of a Necron lord as a mask.

Necron heads are shaped as a skulls. They count.

>>55275054
>That's the number one catastrophe.


Which is the most threatening thing in the galaxy and is in a course to drag all of reality screaming to the Warp.

The Necrons also consider Tyranids the greatest threat to existence. So if one of the top 2 races that can beat Chaos considers Nids the greater threat that pretty much settles it.

Reporter: "No hope? What if..."

>>
>>55275120
>The Necrons also consider Tyranids the greatest threat to existence.

Bullshit. The Silent King Why do you lie like this when we have the lore? Only the Silent King sees the Tyranids as a threat but not to the galaxy or the Necrons since the Necrons will survive the coming of the Tyranids. He sees them as a threat to the Necron apotheosis back to flesh.

So far the Necrons have made little contributions in the war against the Tyranids as if the Necrobs as a whole don't give a fuck.
>>
>>55274229
Yeah, but we don't know what the stability is on hover tech. Railguns still have recoil, and if "scifi levitation magneto gravbubbles" are "floaty," a big enough gun would cause the platform to fly backwards/downwards, if not catastrophically, then enough to fuck up the shot. Legs can absorb shock and add stability, which is why certain trucks, cameras, and guns have them.

>>55275503
Necrons suffered greatly by their retconning. Ever since 5th ED, the Necrons were removed from the main storylines and made a background faction. I mean of all the factions the Necrons should know the most of the consequences of the pylons destruction and yet they have no moved a single metal finger to do anything about it.

It's as if GW is either clueless about what to do with the Necrons or simply embarrassed by them.

On the tabletop I'm not sure, but I suspect it's a "charger wins" situation.
In lore probably not, because Primarchs are never allowed to lose duels to anyone not snowflake enough, which literally just means other Primarchs.
Day of the Scorpion when?

In either case, throwing a big pile of Genestealers at him would be a better option. Primarchs are very squishy for their supposed power level in lore since bolters can kill them, so they'd flay Guilliman pretty quickly considering he only has two arms and two legs to hold off the horde. In tabletop, obvious rending buttrape is obvious.

Because the full kits are cast in far greater numbers of different parts they have more detail, options, and fewer undercuts. This is really obvious on something like the Inceptors, look at their guns and jet cowlings for example, but is present even on something like the Intercessors. Plus, although they are keyed to a single pose the separate pieces of the full kits are far, far easier to use as the basis for conversions or pose changes than the "Easy to Build" versions from DI. You can often just cut the keying and change a pose just like you would with an older kit.

Plasma guns are Rapid Fire and Plague Marines are all about firefights. 3 Plasma Guns per five dudes in Plague Marines. An extra 6" of optimal range and doubled firepower is huge. 12" means you're almost guaranteed to be chargable next turn. 18", not so much. Plus Move and Fire Heavy turns Helbrutes into very respectable firing platforms.

Paladins are the shit.
Strikes are for filling detatchements for Command points.
Voldus is the best HQ.
Razorbacks are cheap, durable and have dakka.
Purgation Squads are cheap as fuck if you use psilencers, which are pretty sweet.
Support Character like Apothecary and Ancients are very good force multipliers.
Falchions>Halberds>Swords, Staves are max 1 per unit for dat sweet invuln, stack with sanctuary for a 3++ in combat on paladins.
Land Raiders are good again, but realistically too expensive for our already elite army. I use one anyway, though. CRUSADER FTW.
Dreads with Lasmissle and Astral aim.
Dreadknights, specifically GM Dreadknights are really fucking good, but only faggots and weak ass bitches use dreadknights. Real men dont need that pussy crap.
Focus on force multipliers, since our guys our so expensive and powers and stratagems can only be cast once. 10 man paladin unit with hammerhand, sanctuary an apothecary and a warding stave for a 3++ charging the enemy ? yes. GM Dreadknight with Psycannon and Psilencer with Psyactive Stratagem? Sure, your a faggot, but its breddy damn gud. 10 Strikes teleport into rapid fire with psykbolt ammo stratagem for 40 S5 AP-1 Shots, maybe rerolling ones due to a character? Carnage.
Theres alot of good stuff in the codex, learn to use it wisely.

Quick, name one infantry unit from DG that's a big threat where this is worth using on.

Also Yriel injured the Hivemind.

>Yriel plunged his spear deep into the rearing serpent. It keened terribly, and Yriel salivated as his weapon drank. Since the day he had lost his eye due to the spear feasting on the limitless hive mind, he had managed to control its fell power and its obscene appetites, but at this final pass he no longer had the strength, and the spear’s murderous soul overwhelmed him. He could not stop it feeding, drawing upon the infinity of spirit the Great Devourer possessed. Yriel felt the hive mind, heard it howl. It thrashed about, and Yriel was battered by its anger. Its thoughts were utterly, unimaginably alien. But one thing came through strong and loud. Hatred, hatred for this creature that had for the first time in untold aeons wounded it.

-Valedor

There are like 6 weapons out there the legendary Crone Swords that are sisters to Yriel's spear. That means the Eldar have melee weapons capable of harming the Hivemind.

This proves the weakness of the Hivemind. Name me a single instance of a Warp God getting personally hurt by a mortal weapon?

I'm new to DG and 40k and want a Chaos Lord since rerolls of 1 are very good and DG lack that. However there is no Lord option for DG so maybe something from AoS? Putrid Blightkings? Gutrot Spume?

In reality. The chaos Gods are said to be the mightiest entities in the Warp. And it was shown when Slaanesh just pushed the Hivemind aside casually just to nom some space elf souls and leave merrily.

>Dark Gods have never even been in a fight.

Slaanesh fought against Khaine. Khorne have been known to emerge from his throne to go to war alongside his legions. He wears the skulls of vanquished gods on his fingers. Nurgle overpowered Slaanesh and took Isha from him.

> But there's not fundamental difference between a god and a daemon but power level

Daemons are but single thoughts or emotions that are shed from the Chaos Gods. Self contained and gain no more power than what the Chaos Gods allow them. The Chaos Gods are the result of thousands of thoughts and emotions pouring into the Warp continuously. While a daemon is but a single event, the Chaos Gods are all events in history backwards to the start of time and forwards to the end of time.

Sure in a vacuum an SCD is dangerous, but what people fail to realize is that using one amongst a functioning and synergistic ARMY against a functioning and synergistic ARMY is not NEARLY as effective if you have half of the combined intelligence of Carnac and a Cheetahposter.

I don't think I get it. Is the Tau complaining? He looks angry, but Tau have a bunch of FW models because fancy mechs sell.

This is a long shot, but I'd love it if Farsight Enclaves got a weight class 2 (like Stealth Suits) melee or close range-oriented battlesuit. Stealths have a statline somewhat like a Primaris, so I think there's some room there for a fluffy unit that's comfortable at close quarters without needing to be Berserker or Wulfen or Genestealer tier.

In reality because if they wipe out the mortal, the Chaos Gods would have no way to easily access reality.

The lore is clear about the Chaos Gods being the mightiest in the Warp.

>Yes, and? We have no description and no indication if he was wounded in the fight.

Yes, you were wrong. Just admit it and have some dignity.

>Literally when. Only description of him personally doing any fighting was Skarbrand attacked IIRC.

The Changeling entry. Khorne left his throne to go to war and the Changeling placed a Nurglings on his throne that Khorne sat on when hew returned.

>You really need to make up your mind on if gods can die or not.

It seems only by the hands of other gods. And the status of the Eldar Gods seems to be sleeping in Slaanesh's belly since they said to return once Slaanesh is vanquished.

>All descriptions that go into specifics have him sending his army.

Let me check.

>Equal? No. Fundamentally different?

No and Yes.

True names, binding magic, and summoning magic only works on the daemons. You cannot summon the Chaos Gods into reality.

>Like, say, the all the thoughts and psychic emanations of a quintillions-strong race focused into one cold, implacable, ruthlessly-focused mind untethered by lunatic delusions and pettiness.

Now who is headcanoning.
>>
>>55277182
I mean Nigrons will do stuff for shits and giggles.
>>
>>55274069
You mean all battlesuits or just the 10+ class? The Riptide variants at least were designed by one crazy Earth Caste dude who had too much budget and too little supervision, and the Tau'nar is as much for psychological impact to stand up against Knights and Titans as anything else. I'm not sure about the original Riptide, but considering it's packing anti-gravity tech and is hella mobile, I can see why it isn't as impractical as it'd seem. Plus I assume it's a natural evolution of the smaller battlesuits for a Crisis or Broadside pilot to adapt to as opposed to a regular vehicle.

Lorgar was already versed in chaos sorcery, he was probably able to heal whatever wound his body couldnt take.

My understanding is that Corax was scared shitless because Kurze was laughing like a maniac while Corax tried to jump away. I may be remembering wrong, but I think Curze stabbed his gauntlet with his own lightning claw. What does this have to do with Lorgar? After Birdman finally flew away, Lorgar's dudes started popping into possessed, which is when and why Batman insulted him and said that next time he wouldn't save him. It's not unreasonable to think that Lorgar lived because that was the start of his own apotheosis.
>>
>>55277757
It's a fairly weak ability, given they need to start and finish their movement on the table to use it and they are delicate as fuck. They are a semi-viable unit in a casual environment thanks to being able to deep strike in with a decent amount of dakka, but they are costly, delicate and lack the killing power necessary to make up for it.
>>
>>55278202
I always find it funny when the Legions start falling into depravity: e.g. Fulgrim and leads the EC in a debauched parade featuring their serfs and Bile's flesh golems while the Iron Warriors are standing at attention watching in horror.
Back to Lorgar though, IIRC in Know No Fear (Battle of Calth) Abnett gives Lorgar a brief cameo as he heads further into Ultramar, and Kor Phaeron reflects proudly on how his son's become properly evil since Isstvan. Like Fulgrim's official fall, Lorgar's happens off-screen. Now I have to re-read the Isstvan section.
>>
>>55277649
They're growing stronger, or the barrier between their realm and this one is thinning? Thanks entirely to a mortal, they did nothing.

And every time the Tyranids consume billions of fresh Tyranids are born and only empower the Hive Mind further. They have no souls and nothing to feed Chaos, so every victory only empowers one thing.
>>
Everyday I see people arguing about how "Chaos is gonna win" or other bullshit. How is it that the Warp can be the most interesting thing about the setting, and the Chaos faction can be the most boring? Just a bunch of demons and bad guy versions of the "good guys".

But they gotta sell those minis, and they know that crowd needs to feel like tough guys.
>>
>>55277878
>Corax impaled Lorgar through his stomach, the tips of his metre-long talons glinting to the side of his spine as they thrust out his back.
>Such a blow meant little to a primarch – only when Corax heaved upwards did Lorgar stagger.

Being run through twice didnt really effect lorgar.


>>55278202
Corax saw in Kurze something that could well have been him if his upbringing had been different and was afraid that he might become the madman that Kurze had.
>>
>>55278411
Because GW don't write Chaos well as antagonists. They're perpetually terrified the SM players will start screeching like they did about Damocles. So they go "woooOOOoo chaos is the biggest threat ever... b-but LOOK over there at how heroic and amazingly the Space Marines are beating them!... b-b-but they're still the biggest threat!"

Chaos would be 200% more interesting if they focused more on the mortal servants in the same way the Imperial Guard greatly humanised the Imperium with the potential for GENUINELY sympathetic or at least understandable 'bad guys' beyond just DUDE HORUS MADE US TURN EVIL LMAO. Of course power armour is what pays the bills.

Forgefiends are a hot piece of garbage, don't listen to him. Mid-range unit that's inevitably going to need to move with BS 4+ base that goes to 5+ with the heavy weapon penalty. You'll need a sorcerer to babysit it with Prescience just to make more than half of your shots even hit on average. For only 1 power more you can have a contemptor with two butcher cannons that are hitting at BS 2+ and put out just as many shots.
>>
>>55277320
I could be wrong about the age of it, but there was a point in 6th or 7th where the R'varna (Artillery Riptide) could fairly reliably fire four pie-plates per shooting phase, hitting at above "average" strength for that meta, and it had a special rule that each pie plate could actually hit 2 or 3 times depending on the size/class of mini under the template. It was super touch, and something like just under 250ish points IIRC, and it occupied the Heavy Support slot, which didn't have much competition.

It was basically an auto-include until FW fixed it.
>>
>>55278497
Because they never post their dudes while marine players are always doing so. Right now Im building a GSC force that is basically a nomad fleet of pirates that is escaping their Tyranid gods and heading to Terra as they drop their Patriarchs in different planets, the idea is that their first Patriarch died and the Magus had a lapse of sanity and broke off with their army to escape death, now he gets rid of every new Patriarch before its too late and they are escaping from a Tyranid tendril.

My Genestealer Cult is a bunch of space pirates who attack shipping lanes, infect all the passengers, and then just send them along to their destination.

Their ship, the God Beacon, comes from the original world they over threw, which was the center of a Rogue Trader Dynasty. As such, it has a bunch of cool gadgets and experimental weapons on it.

They're doing this because my Hive Fleet is severely weakened and is rebuilding its numbers, so it can't just steam roll and eat planets, instead focusing on bio-mass raids. The Cult is helpful because it gives them a presence on nearly every world in the sector they are in, and lays the seeds for the sector's eventual downfall once the Hive Fleet is big enough.
