Here's a podcast from the guys that have been writing the preview articles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USc1tq-PKuE They said that Tau don't dominate their good matchups any more, but they've got better tools to deal with their weak matchups

Zark the Damned posted:I guess we missed it in all the excitement, but we're already 2 months after the Spring Goonmeet. We briefly discussed making it a roughly quarterly thing - any UK (and visiting) folk up for a meet up in June or July? I'd favour a first go at 8th. Rules are beginning of June. Pick a suitable points value and go at it early July.

And I won't lie, I'm probably going to make a CSM team for SWA using cultists and starter box Primaris turned renegades.

Still seeing a ton of shooting buffs in the army that needed it the least. Will Orks and Tyranids have ridiculous melee buffs and movement shenanigans? Even with the limited information released thus far, I could come up with some great ones: Made fer Fightin' Any unit attempting to disengage from melee with a unit that has the Orks faction takes a Battleshock test. Get Stuck In! Models with the Ork faction add an additional 1" to pile in and when measuring melee range. Vicious Intelligence Models with 10 or more wounds from the Tyranid faction cause an additional Mortal Wound for every To Wound roll of 6 in close combat. Preternatural Advance Any unit attempting to fire Overwatch against an assaulting model with the Tyranids faction must re-roll successful To-Hit rolls. They're Coming Out of the Walls! Genestealers and Lictors may assault from Reserves. Proletariat Beowulf fucked around with this message at 00:26 on May 16, 2017 |

Isn't the Emperor going to be super mad that Guilliman is swishing around in the gene seed and making random poo poo, or is Guilliman just given free reign to go ham? I haven't read the new fluff, but apparently Guilliman and the Emperor had a talk? Was it a good talk?

The other primarchs are going to be pretty confused when they get back and are confronted by a Guilliman yelling "gently caress THE RULES ITS GUILLIMAN TIME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE".

So I finished the phase two of my Ice Board I am building. I wanted to test out the water/ice effects because I haven't done them in like 6 to 7 years. So I built a larger hill that I put a small frozen pond on.  Really hoping that white glue in between to of the icicles dries clear. With the test a relative success I moved on to the board and quickly realized I am going to need a ton more of the water effects stuff. So I built a bunch more hills until my friend buys more of the stuff.     I have two more half built (one that can be combined with the one I finished to make a huge hill or they can be used on the edge of the map) and am planning on building a rather large "hill base" as a center piece for the table. It has been a lot of fun working on this, one of my favorite parts of 40k is building the boards and terrain, lets just hope they don't change the board size in 8th.

No. I think he's keeping his own counsel and trying to figure out just how bad the Ecclesiarchy and Lords of Terra have hosed humanity in their desperate attempts to maintain their positions of power and prestige. I honestly really hope the eventual goal of Robbie coming back is him and a couple other Primarchs rolling up on the Throne and being all "We apologize, Father... for taking so long to know your will" then powerfisting the Throne apart in front of the Custodes. It would be a cool change to the game's setting to have Imperium vs Imperium be a thing, and a great excuse for Chaos to get a bunch of new options as well.

I really don't think the Bigmars are going to be replacing the approximately 40,000 existing space marine kits, I'm seeing them more as a different faction of marines that can also hang out with their non-clonetrooper counterparts, so you can justify picking up a box or two without seeing it as starting a new army. Shame about them ditching the cool intimidating vader-grille helms for that stupid snout face though. Texmo fucked around with this message at 02:31 on May 16, 2017 |
