I field 60 close combat only dudes m8, rerolling every fail to hit rolls for them is far from being "useless"

I agree with him. At the very least it's highlighted with green.

Plague surgeon is 59, Tallyman 60, Bell guy 63
>>
>>55420903
Um, it's highlighted with grey, you can see it on his chestpiece. The foot looks green because they used shade on the boils.

>>55420911
tallyman is 67 and bellguy is 70, you forgot to add their plasma pistols

Looks a whole lot less overdesigned in black. GW really is fucking up with how the showcase models are painted lately, it makes quite decent or even good models look horrible.

To make it easier is they add gear options in the future.

Nah. It's definitely green. The chest looks more like they went all the way up to a nurgling green. And looking at it more I'd say the base is probably a abaddon black/incubi darkness mix.

So all points costs are on a single page and can be updated in Chapter Approved. Is also let's them easily add new datasheets down the line like the Anniversary Primaris Captain while referring you to the most updated point list to determine how much he costs.
>>
>>55421024

Because he's more in line with space marines than with demons

Same reason why CSM can only take a limited part of demons in their armies.

I'm really glad I started with Death Guard for 8th edition and not Thousand Sons as I originally intended. The DG codex is a wonderful mix of grimdark and fun stuff.

The rules themselves are great, and I like every unit, psychic power and so on.

The artist side of the hobby tickles my fancy too, I really like painting the DG models. Plus socially I'm meeting people and talking about things that I find interesting.
>>
>>55421006
Now that's black.
>>
>>55420867
plague surgeon, probably the most useful too.

If you're looking for an expendable summoner, there's a stratagem that removes any risk from summoning. If you're looking for a divine intervention challenge eater, beasts of nurgle can do that and are 38 points.

Minor daemons are all cheaper in the 2 CSM books released since the indexes as well.

This is why I don't expect zerkers or noise marines anytime soon. FW basically already does it - i use 30 kakophini as my noise marines and I get A) compliments and B) people asking me if they're 3rd party. 3 sonic dreads sitting in my backfield and everyone knows they're FW but no one suspects the infantry for some reason.

I was planning on theming mine as the zombified remnants of a penal legion with ones with improvised weapons as convicts/penal legionaries and the guys with rifles/coats having been the officers. The paint job got a little complicated because I accidentally bought gloss shade and had to hit them with matte clear... which force me to re-prime the clothing to get the paint to cover properly.

Just to add to this so its a little easier to visualize;


The Plague Marine, despite walking forward in a bent knee pose (not full height extension) is taller (top of the head) than the Chosen and even the Rubric Marine (who is standing at full height extension.)

The Primaris Marine, despite being bent at the knees for a bracing pose and leaning in to line his eyes up with the sights on his Bolter, is still taller than all of them. If Primaris Marines were to stand at full attention with good posture they would even more noticeably taller than all three of them.
>>
>>55421374
That must weight more than Exorcist. And you could club somebody to death with it.
>>
>>55421540
>>55421097

To add to this even more, Thousand Sons are probably truescale

Primaris are custodes tall

Death Guard have different heights between marines. Some are shorter than the one depicted and some taller. There's one or two that would be almost primaris size tall

Well they did change their tags to Questor Mechanicus and add the Strategem that key off it. Maybe whenever they do the Knights you be able to apply the household rules to the Mechanicus ones too. Kinda like how you can use CT with datasheets from the Index.

marine heights heads.jpg
127KB, 640x320px
>>55421586

This is a rough estimate but going by head-heights, the Primaris Marines are the closet to normal human proportions, the average person being around 7 1/2 heads tall with 8 heads tall used for idealized humans and 8 1/2 or more for 'heroic proportions' in artwork. Or a dozen if you are a GW artist.

They somewhat miss the mark of 'believable human anatomy', coming in at 6 1/2 heads, likely 7 if you had them stand at full attention. This still significantly better than the Chosen, who does not even break 6 heads tall, or the Plague Marine who might barely hit 6 heads tall if he stood with good posture. The Rubric is the second closest, coming to 6 1/2 heads tall at full attention.

Of course, the easy excuse is this is Games Workshop's 'heroic porportions'. They work well when on the table next to the poor, stunted anatomical proportions of Guardsmen, Eldar, Orks and so on.

As far as Primaris Marines and 'truescale' are concerned; lore-wise they ARE bigger than Astartes, which probably puts them closer to their Custodes counterparts.

I think Plague Marines are intended to look fat on purpose.

Just naked Autocannon Predator doesn't seem too bad, and the tank will sit in the backfield anyway, so could I just be cheap on points here, or are they necessary?

You get a lasblaster and brace of pistols by default. you can replace the lasblaster with another brace of pistols. I assume you can fire both in a phase, and when you fire one, you roll 1 die to determine all the shots fired.

Quick mathhammer: you can expect to kill about 8 conscripts with one brace of pistols round of firing from a full unit. 16 from two braces.

Which doesn't seem all that good. You pay 13 points per model for a reaver with two braces. For 10 models, that's 130 points.

So blur the line. Nothing says he couldn't have ascended after being put in to the hellbrute. I use a Khorgorath from the AOS boxed set with dread armor plates, and a bunch of pistons/survos/crap from ad mech kits - his left arm is some sort of lightning claw from a (space wolf) dreadnaught kit, mostly just because I wanted an incorporated infernal bolter.

Just make it clear enough he's not a hellbrute. That should be easy if you're giving him a sword, axe, and/or wings.

Yeah. that's my current conundrum. Going to wait overnight for it to set, though, since at the moment I'd rather not try chopping at it. Plan is either to round off the greenstuff sections either side of the central seam, paint the upper bit before the tentacles start as the black fatigues and make it look like a crazy leg graft or to get a minor armour plate from a Kataphron or something and see if I can just armour over the join. The actual cables were going to be painted in pale skin with a red wash, rather than as metal, since that's the "servitor flesh" I've got in the rest of the army.

>>55422559
Passable. Didn't fix a few of the more retarded problems, since Rusties and Breachers are still terrible and there's basically no reason not to take Kasties over Destroyers, but they did give us a somewhat cheaper HQ, more mobility in the form of Deep Strike and Infiltrate and fixed the Dragoons up to a very usable state.

Warlord Traits and Relics were pretty crap, though. The best one is probably the one that just gives you a CP, and that's locked to Graia.
Decent book, but could have been SO much better if they'd bothered to put any real effort to it, since Admech could have been fairly simply made amazing had they just got feedback from five or so Mech players then sat the rules team in a room for an hour to hash something decent for all the subpar units out.

ya, but it sort of countermands their ability to move and fire since they have to stand still.

Well practically - Fly + 2 mega plague flamers is a pretty big deal. While my opponents were getting used to 8th edition rules, I was regularly getting these guys up in range, hosing them down and then just sitting and waiting for a charge. They shoot overwatch, survive the charge and then scoot out in the next movement phase and hose them down again (cuz fly) and wait for the charge if anythings left.

On the other hand, I think they're just going to charge a premium for anything relatively fast in a DG army, especially if it carries heavy weapons.

I almost don't think GW really looked at what AdMech players are actually running. There's still literally no reason to use Rustalkers or Breachers and the Neutron Laser and Icarus array are still pretty much auto-takes.

Is it really worth taking Mortarion?

He's not like Magnus who can move 36 inches + 2d6 charge and do 12 mortal wounds with one psychic attack.

I play AL a bit, and I don't know if I would take all of those cultists over some bog standard CSM. I also don't know why you wouldn't double up on grav-flux on the leviathan for maximum dickery. Contemptor is pretty loaded for how fast they can be popped, but he will do good work. You also don't have any good way to move your berzerkers without using the AL stratagem, and I don't know if your zerker champ needs a plasma pistol. Personally I would consolidate most of the cultists into one squad so you could use that Tide of Traitors stratagem later in the game, and I would probably use the Forward Operatives stratagem on them and the zerkers to help the terminators when they deep strike, but that is just how I play

I see no reason to think codices are in universe propaganda. The idea that GKs have propaganda is silly, for example. Daemons, tyranids, and necrons having propaganda is absurd.

Draigo carving his name onto Morty's heart has to mean something other than the obvious, as a live daemon primarch wouldn't sit still for that and a dead daemon primarch would discorporate, so I assume Morty's heart actually fell out after a serious injury and it was left laying around.

The base models are pricey and wargear is pricier still. Couple this with a lot of low range weapons on the slow infantry it's hard to build an army list that's offers flexibility. You basically have to take the fast attack vehicles if you want to snipe objectives, since the troops are slow as all fuck. Because you're forced to take these units, you have less points for the bread and butter of your army. And the terminators are retardedly expensive, and they're your only option for deep striking.

Need 2 malanthropes and 1 squad of 20devil/10terma for the tunnel since only 1 unit can burrow. 2 units of genes are a bit much, for the cost of the 16 and 10 less termagants you could get 2 blobs of hormagants which are actually amazing with malanthrope adaptability.
Pyrovore aren't worth taking, nor is the broodlord. You may want to take a vanilla heirodule instead of barbed to be the target of hive commander as well but I could be wrong there.

>>55423241
Get a second malanthrope, get hormagaunts, throw the pyrovore into the trash and don't tunnel your genestealers, they extremely rarely succeed the charge. Not only does the trygon need to be out of range of enemy units for deployment but the entire mass that surfaces needs to be, which is why tunneling a ranged unit is optimal, especially one where you can get 80+ s4 shots

I tried painting a white bar in the centre, then placing the big yellow dragon rune transfer on it, then painting a gradient (white to yellow to orange to red to dark red) towards the edges. However, it looks like a fucking fruju (pic related).

GKs are tuff and anti daemon specialists, not "regular astartes. The idea that GKs couldn't beat a daemon primarch is retarded.

If a primarch can't be beaten by astartes, then you'd have situations where a primarch (esp a hyper aggressive one) tells his men "hold on, I got this" and just clears a planet of the enemy invincibly while yawning.

Have you been paying any attention to 8th ed fluff? There's literally a passage of Guilliman singlehandedly tearing his way through ranks of CSMs, and telling Calgar not to feel bad about it because he's a Primarch and consequently he's just better. GW is full on sucking Primarch's dicks left and right ever since HH and they realized everyone loved them. This (original) bit was written when Ward was at peak GK fanboyism, and Primarchs coming back wasn't even in the cards because they had more sense than greed. In this particular instance.

Primarchs were a mistake.

Never stated, at least in the GK codex or the DG codex. If there was some gay ass Black Library book saying otherwise, let me know.

I even pointed out that carving your name into a daemon primarch's heart makes no real sense as the whole story, since, again, a live daemon primarch is going to render that impossible and a dead daemon primarch vanishes, so the most likely explanation is the heart wasn't attached at the time.

That doesn't even remotely imply he's immune to CSM, any more than the Soul Grinder fluff bit about them doing the same to SM implies that Soul Grinders are immune to SM. It does imply that a primarch can tear through ranks of astartes, which is not new or shocking in any way.

You're wrong, by the way. See pic. Draigo, ALONE AND UNAIDED, smashes through Mortarion's bodyguard and 1v1s him before carving the name. This is absolutely and unavoidably some Mary Sue wanking.

I find it odd that we have stuff like a storm bolter equivalent in the combi-bolter, like we both have other combi-weapons and chaos saw a storm bolter and strapped two bolters together to match it.
We do have Daemon Engines instead of their vehicles which is pretty cool.
As it is we're almost identical in basic troops and characters; Chaos Marines = Regular Marines, Chosen = Veterans, Havocs = Devastators, Helbrutes = Dreadnoughts, Chaos Lord = Captain, Exalted Champion = Lieutenant, Dark Apostle = Chaplain, Sorcerer = Librarian, and we have the same transports and basic tanks in the Rhino, Land Raider, Vindicator, and Predator.
But then Space Marines get vehicles from their alliance with admech, and we get daemon engines from our alliance with dark mech.
Then the balance shifts when they get Scouts and we get Cultists, they get Apothecaries, and they get new Primaris stuff. Not that I care about them getting Primaris stuff since we do have Cult Units which are pretty good, but it's kind of dumb that we have less equipment and the same statline but we're supposed to be empowered by chaos.
Even our stratagems are mostly the same.
>>55423519
Draigo did smash through daemons, the exact wording was alone and unaided.
Plus the way it's written states no it wasn't just hanging out on the outside of his body which would make some semblance of sense, the original writing straight up has Draigo overpower the Daemon Primarch of Nurgle and carve his name in his heart somehow. I don't think it was even with his titansword, it was a fucking chainsword at the time.

Planning is needed. Outnumbering is needed. Isolating them, drown them in fire, fuck it, get some Titans or orbital bombardments or whatever the hell.

But it should be by playing smart and actually outmaneuvering a superior foe, not having a Sue whose dick is bigger than the Primarch's dick, because that's just not consistent.
>>
>>55423573
>it's that they fucking curbstomp them so badly that they don't even appear threatening anymore.

That's merely your baseless opinion on a combat encounter that was worded in the most vague possible way. The 5e GK codex even states that the GKs lose in the end, that civilization will fall, and that Chaos will reign supreme. It likewise had Ahriman outsmarting the GKs and causing tremendous casualties to them just with summons.

It was an example of "the biggest and baddest dude in a faction". The Primarchs are not only unbeatable combat monsters, but also unparalleled strategists, peerless psykers, and whatever Mortarion is supposed to be.

I mean fuck, I'm the one also arguing that having Draigo curbstomp Mortarion is stupid, but it's two different lines of argument. Having Primarchs be unapproachable superheroes is bad, but having some dude unilaterally BTFO them to establish HIM as an unapproachable superhero is also bad.

(Besides, come on, the Swarmlord at least once upon a time WAS supposed to be a walking rape machine, considering he made Calgar a quadraplegic and slaughtered his best and brightest back when NPCs were allowed to win against Ultramarines every once in a while. Now I hear that some random UM Chaplain 1v1d him.)

>>
>>55423711
The Draigo situation is unreasonable, I didn't know it was elaborated upon.

Calgar is just a chapter master, which is ultimately just an exceptional marine, just as the Swarmlord is ultimately just an exceptional hive tyrant. The bulk of the Ultramarines victory against the Tyranids was ultimately an ALLAH AKBAR attack on the Hive Fleet, and the UM vs the Tyranids fight is not a scenario I expect for the Tyranids to be retconned to win any harder.

Tyranids are already hyped more than ever before, esp in terms of posing an existential threat to Chaos from the objective narrative viewpoint. Contrast this to how at least one unkillable GK thinks the Imperium will inevitably lose to Chaos, and how for awhile Tyranids beating Chaos was mostly a fan extrapolation.

Does no one watch the FLG weekly news videos? These guys are the official playtesters of 40k and they leak hints of future balance changes and codex releases all the time. Here's a quick list:

>scion nerf coming
>Guilliman and Celestine nerfs probably coming

>>55423775
>These guys are the official playtesters

Not really. They're just allowed to playtest a bit and GW sometimes asks them for feedback and looks at ITC events.

They're not the "main" "official" playtesters. GW even ignored some of their feedback, like fixing the less models goes first automatically and flamers hitting flyers.
>>

>>
>>55423770
AFAIK Tyranids being able to threaten Chaos (which makes sense for both them and Orks, not to mention Necrons) has only been recently referenced in that Warhammer Community top 5. Current party line at BL seems to be to suck off Chaos and swallow every last drop, whereas GW does likewise with Marines.

But like I said a lot of it was lucky rolls on my part and unlucky rolls on his part, plus if he'd had his Commissar heroically intervene I only would have been able to use a pistol to hit him with my ApocMusic which probably wouldn't have killed him.

Basically they plan out this huge plan that lets mortarion eat a ton of planets so that he'll be funneled to a specific one that according to fate can be used to bind him perminantly to the planet, the grey knights strike right into the heart of mortarions forces, and after establishing a perimeter around morty the supreme grand master and his pimp squad teleport in and cut down a bunch of deathshrouds before calling out mortarion for a 1v1, he laughs at them because they aren't worth a fight and just uses some plague winds kill all the termies before silencing the supreme grand master
After everyone starts crying (literally) they leave and try to regroup, they realize they've failed and they can't perms kill moderation because he has too much plot armour, that's when it's revealed that they have mortarions true name, and draigo volunteers to go on a suicide mission, he singlehandedly calls morty out for battle... and then starts getting the shit kicked out of him, it's literally no challenge, but he's able to sense the instant mortarion let his psychic guard down, which draigo used to implant his true name, which caused mort to explode, draigo then took his helmet off, and carved the old supreme grand masters name into his heart before beheading him
So basically TL;DR
The GKs had this huge intricate plan involving almost the entire chapter, but when that failed they had to do a desperate manuever and use a weapon specifically designed to kill morty just to banish him back, if draigo didn't have that or morty knew about it and kept his guard up he would have been slaughtered

The rule for targetting characters with shooting attacks applies only to the shooting phase, all other rules for shooting are part of the weapon or unit.
Music of the Apocalypse can shoot out of combat but not into the unit they're locked in combat with unless with a pistol.
So if my Noise Marines die in the enemy shooting phase, can't target characters, any other phase, characters.
It's why things like psychic powers can target characters and why certain powers like smite specify closest enemy model.

Music of the Apocalypse can shoot out of melee but not into melee.

It's really not much of a price to pay to once a year pay $25-$30 plus $50 one time only per edition if you're lucky enough to get a codex that year and have a somewhat balanced game that gets adjusted when it starts to go off the rails, buffed by smaller adjustments in the form of FAQs

Hey. I recently got a great deal on some Genestealer Cults but have been losing terribly each time I play them at 1500. Are they just not great right now? I know I need to get more Purestrain Genestealers but all of my games haven't even been close. I am getting outshot AND out melee'd almost every game even when I get optimal ambush rolls. Here is my list. I have played Tau, Grey Knights, and Dark Eldar.

Also how would I deal with Flyers as GSC? Bring in a Hydra from Astra Mil?

Where's the list? And you should ask in the next thread.
>>
>>55424122
>Titans are no longer needed to kill Titans
I disagree. In 7th there were several non-Titan Titan counters, although the humble meltabomb sufficed for anything less than Warlord-class. In 8th their ridiculous wound count, legendary toughness and void shields mean they can survive multiples of their own points in lesser units' firepower. Because of how ridiculous Macro weapons are the best counter to a Titan is another Titan as far as I can see.
>Proper speccing can land you efficient ways to wear them down at minimal cost to yourself
Was true in 7th.
>Hordes don't die instantly when faced with one, allowing weight of fire/attacks to scale better than the return from a Titan
I'll give you this one though.
>Mortal wounds
Again, void shields. Titans give no shits about mortal wounds, well, not Imperial Titans anyway.

>I never even came close to scratching one in 7th, but I manage to destroy at least two Titans a game in 8th now
>anecdotes
In 7th I killed Titans using everything from Knights to TH+SS Termies to Veteran squads. Melta dealt with them handily as did massed lascannon fire or equivalent. in 8th they could care less about both, and Knights literally die in a single volley of anything with Macro in the description, so unless your opponent went full retard and bought a horde killer Warhound or a Reaver with no Macro (don't know if that's even possible, don't have my book with me) then your Titan-killing Knight is going down long before it ever sees melee.


Obviously killing the Warlord was a challenge people built entire lists around in 7th but I don't even know how you would go about it in 8th without using another Warlord or massed smaller Titans.

not sure you were all that lucky - I've played against conscript blobs 5-6 times now and most of those were my noise marines who did... quite well.

Then again, I do 3 sonic dreads in that army, which can run and still dump 6d6 shots 36" in to the crowd (admitedly at 4+ to hit), next turn it's 13d6 after fire frenzy and once the missile launchers kick in. It's pretty much pick a blob and erase them kind of thing - which actually isn't that bad for about 375 points.
