Sup, Typhus conversion bud? I feel like it's kind of a right of passage for DG players now.   I was too cheap for bits, though, and carved a scythe out of a kinked bit of sprue, and chopped off the thick round vertical bits on the sprue for the destroyer hive (with a hole drilled down the middle). Slather with plastic putty and viola!

Oh dang, new thread. I'm back now that eightj has been out and my birthday's comin up so some models will be coming my way, but I don't know what to get. I have no idea what a good starting army is or what books I need with the new edition. I've got about 10 regular marines and a few scouts. I was thinkinh about grabbing one of the 30k boxes since I'm using those models and then I'll have plenty of basic marines, but other than that I know jack poo poo about army sizes and what to make. Please gimme dome advice, tia.

I'm kinda limited by what I can comfortably fit in my backpack, so some weird poo poo (Inquisitors! Assassins! Psykers!) are part of my list. Once I got the hang of multiple detachments it made more sense, although all these little one man Guard character units are gonna get murdered to poo poo. It should be a barrel of laughs, I'll be taking a load of pictures. Also we recorded the Badcast tonight, expect it as soon as Dan and our new third chair finish editing it.

Please gimme dome advice, tia. I'm going to point you both to 1d4chan which has a basic rundown on the whole game and links to pages about the specific armies (make sure to only click the 8th edition links). There are a lot of 40k sites out there, and a lot of very detailed advice, but it's good to get the foundations first and 1d4chan does that in a way that a lot of the more advanced sites, who assume you already know said basics, won't. As far as what to get for Marines? Early word on the street has it that massed Razorbacks or massed Dreadnaughts are hot right now. Both seem to rely on the idea of overwhelming enemy anti-tank weapons by giving them too many targets to handle. I personally know that only one or two of either will die pretty quick to armies that have brought a decent number of AT guns, though. For just starting out, I'd bulk up on basic tactical marines, with a few special, heavy, and hand to hand builds. Dudes with bolters can be part of a Command Squad, Sternguard Squad, Devastator Squad, or Tactical Squad and can get around in Rhinos, Razorbacks, Land Raiders, Stormravens, or Drop Pods, which gives those models a lot of flexibility, which is good when you're still learning your army and figuring out how you want to play. Also they've been around for decades and you can get them cheap on EBay or elsewhere in mass quantities. By comparison, a handful of Primaris with bolt rifles can be...an Intercessor Squad. That's it, and thanks to the frankly ridiculous "yeah, your Land Raider can carry Terminators and Centurions, which dwarf your marines but for some reason a Primaris which is smaller than either can't get inside" rule and the fact that they haven't yet released the Primaris hover transports yet, means they can only walk everywhere. Also despite being the new hotness Primaris aren't too hard to find online, but they're nowhere near as easy to come by as generic marines. tl;dr Click the link, get more basic marines and build from there.

Please gimme dome advice, tia. It's pretty limited and doesn't cover missions, terrain, etc., and the units themselves expand on it quite a bit. They were aiming for simple. As for army selection, you probably want to start with this force organization chart:  And then expand into this:  You'll also notice that they award Command Points. Simply building an army this way awards three points and the different detachments chosen can give more. More specialized charts give less, more generalized ones, such as the Battalion, give more. These points can be spent on Stratagems. The usual ones are re-rolls, counter-attacking, and causing a unit to automatically pass a morale check regardless of modifiers. Simple and useful and every faction will be getting their own as codexes release. These will likely be much more specific though we haven't seen any yet so I can't give any examples. Speaking of codexes, armies are all collected into Indices right now. Marines are bundled into one, the rest of the Imperium another. Chaos, and the Xenos factions occupy the other three books. They're full lists, but lack little things like chapter tactics, relics, etc. These are coming in the codexes. If you're going to be playing regular Space Marines and not some weird offshoot like Space Wolves or Dark Angels, their book will be out very soon, likely by the end of the month, so it is probably best to wait rather than spend money on an index that will be invalidated. There are two points systems for building your army now. A simpler version called Power where models and upgrades are sort of rolled into a unit's cost and the traditional points system where you have to account for every option. Unfortunately, GW kind of screwed up when it came to layout and tallying up points by hand is annoyingly complicated, but it's fixable. I wrote all of my points values into my indices so they were easier to refer to. For a new player, I'd recommend using Power until you get used to the system. Then maybe give points a shot. An app like Battlescribe may be worth checking out to make the process easier. In either case, you probably want to aim for something like 70-75 Power or 1500 points as a solid base for your army. You can always play smaller games like 500 or 1000 points. I'm torn on recommending the rulebook. There's a bunch of scenarios and lore in there, but the actual rules are so small (and available legitimately for free) there's just not a lot of necessary content. You're a new player so I'd say if you've got $60 to spare, go for it. Alternatively, the starter set, Dark Imperium, comes with a full-sized book this time around so that's another avenue if you want some primaris marines to add to your force. They'll go a long way towards fulfilling the requirements of the Battalion detachment. They're essentially marines with 2 wounds and 2 attacks each. Hopefully, you've got a use for the Death Guard or know someone who wants them.

Thanks guys. I'm def gonna check out the 1d4 stuff more to help get a rounder idea about stuff. As to SF thanks for the info post, I've got a voucher for I think 33 bucks or so because I bought a codex before I knew about 8th so I'll probably save that for the Space Marine codex when it comes, my birthday's near the end of August so I've got plenty o time. I considered the new box but I'm not really interested in the primaris models. I'll look into detachments some more, I'ma guess that 1d4 has all the info about those model classifications so that should help me figure out what to grab. 'ppreciate it
