Today I had my first game in a couple of months, I was playing my Nids against a Ministorum/Sororitas list and for funsies I decided to run with no Hive Tyrants for a change, instead opting to cram as many Carnifexes as I could in 1750 points: Just one picture this time unfortunately. I did learn that Old One Eye is completely Crazy once it gets into contact with enemy models! Otherwise I've been completely out of the loop since a couple of weeks before the Space Marine codex dropped, what's new in 8th edition?

For_Great_Justice posted:I'm still of the opinion the new DG have way too much going on. Only the most ascended ought to have gut mouths an such. Too many arm tentacles.  The new plague marine models would be fantastic nurgle chosen, but they're too much for me as the basic troops of the army. I'd prefer something more understated, yet clearly corrupted. Thinking about it, FW had some decent plague marine upgrade parts that might work well with some converted/damaged mkIII for just that look.

While the new DG do have a lot going on, I feel it fits with Chaos Marines story-wise. They're 10,000 year old veterans. I've always felt their models should heavily reflect their age and years of experience (baubles, scarring, mutations, etc) rather than the relatively clean-cut armor of normal Marines. Giving them just horns (like the current vanilla CSM kit) is a little bland. Renegades or recently fallen marines fit more with the cleaner aesthetic. Then again, I don't play Chaos. I just like looking at cool armies across the table from me.

Better hurry; FW has been gradually removing/phasing out all of their non-heresy chaos poo poo I tend to agree with Zuul though--I like that they've got more going on. It might not fit for Night Lords, but it works for Nurgle mans.

Not all DG are ancient beings. They do recruit fresh bodies. An nothing arguably always starts that corrupted.

I'm starting to get a little concerned that we won't be getting multipart plague marines - there haven't been any pictured in the leaks or photos that aren't just the Dark Imperium / First Strike snapfits, and there's even been different Blight Drones sighted. Has anybody seen pictures counter to this? I'm wanting to collect some rotboys, but can't stand having multiple monoposes that are really distinctive, like the plague marines are.

This is pretty much the route GW is going to go down. Mono pose static easy to produce kits with maybe options here an there. Primaris represent this. The basic unit, to my knowledge, is one weapon option an one maybe two options for melee weapons for the sergeant. Death guard have weapon options but seem to be very preset mono pose. You can't say take a head from one an just put it on another without some work unlike a basic marine or csm dude.

There have been photos of Death Guard who aren't in the Dark Imperium box or the trio of new guys who are presumably from a forthcoming multi-part kit. I suspect they'll be similar to the Primaris multi-pose kit that just came out.

Some of the ones pictured in the initial teaser haven't been seen yet and there's codex options for some flails, there's gonna be a legit multipart kit.

I've said it before, but I really like the way they approached the mono-pose stuff in the 8th release. No repeated poses in the main box (except among the Poxwalkers, which is understandable). Then even more variation in the cheapest starter set. My historic complaints against mono-pose models have always been duplicate models, and a lack of support for special options. This release doesn't really suffer from that. Indeed, there can be a purity in a well designed single pose model that a multi-part kit cannot easily replicate. Alongside what is most assuredly going to be a mutli-part kit, I love that the starter set models are each the equivalent in individuality to a character model.

Death guard are preset because they came in a starter set. As for the Primaris Models they do have a fixed pose to a degree, but I'm sure a little conversion work can solve this the same way it solves the "mono pose" for the Chaos Space Marines and Space Marine Tactical Box

The next time I'm fighting my Tyranid friend with all his flying mid-zilla bullshit, I'm gonna fool around with a Renegades list, and for this I'm going to have them follow the covenant of Tzeentch (+1 to overwatch), with a vanguard detachment of six ten-man disciple squads with auto-cannons, two Leman Russes with the heavy 20 gatling cannons, and a Hydra quad-cannon tank (+1 against flyers) My main concern is that I'm going to wipe out every single shrike and warrior and I won't be able to take down his carnifexes before they slaughter my gun lines because those things are a loving nightmare to kill with anything that isn't a melta or a las-cannon Also I'm impressed at how completely worthless the Renegade commander is since he's just 25 points for a lovely guardsman with slightly better stats but unable to issue any orders or provide any auras or anything useful at all

For_Great_Justice posted:Can you give a basic primaris marine a chainsword? Nope. Sergeants can have power swords (and also carry bolt pistols, bolt rifles, and grenade launchers). Lieutenants somehow lost the ability to carry power swords and bolt rifles at the same time. Captains remember how to do it again, but only if they carry a master-crafted assault bolt rifle or sniper rifle. Some Captains have discovered power fists. That's it.

Then as far as I'm convinced gw is going static set up an might as well be mono pose. I'll concede that if they have multi part kits coming then great fantastic whatever. If its just primaris with static stuff maybe they'll stick to just them being too dumb to switch weapons. They do have all those plague flails an such as options hopefully more stuff comes an it doesn't come down to ebay bits hunting.

The Bee posted:Honestly, I hugely prefer Chaos marines being mutated in their gods' image over being palette swaps with horns pasted on them. It gives them a more solid identity to me. Me too, but all the Nurgle bikers I lovingly converted with greenstuff that no longer exist now in the codex could at least be made into something else if they were just palette swaps!

Also honest question. In the rules or in an faq is there something about psykers in an army not being able to cast the same spells other than smite? My opponent yesterday indicated I could not have my D prince an sorcerer both cast warp time.
