Mef989 posted:Does anyone have experience with Wraithknights in 8e? Have they been completely neutered or are they still useful? Just wondering if it's worth picking one up on Black Friday. It's a cool model and it can fill multiple roles. But it costs too many points given other options in the codex. And since you have zero way to deepstrike it, if you get 2nd turn your odds of it to your turn drop dramatically, particularly depending on the deployment. So, it depends on what you're looking for. I have two, with one still on sprue and am really excited to make it look awesome. EDIT: On a separate note, I suspect I really like 40K 8E, as a new player, because every single one of my games has had at least one big ruin per 2x2 board area. I imagine I'd feel differently if I was playing without all the ruins and LOS-blocking stuff I have available. bonds0097 fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Nov 20, 2017 |

Attestant posted:I think a huge part of the issue is that in 7th they were fully designed around various formations, including smaller formations nesting inside larger ones. Most of the different special rules those had never got translated to the 8th edition Index version. So all you have is a bunch of pretty basic dudes with a funky deployment option. I reckon once they get a codex, we'll see a lot more special rules on the various units, and a good amount of their old tricks returning as stratagems. Tricks are fine, and I wouldn't mind seeing some cool stratagems, but 11 points for an acolyte is too much. We will have to see what an actual codex puts out, but genestealer cult is DOA as far as the Index goes unless you are putting a ton of points into Guard or Tyranids. Acolytes are basically Ork boys stat-wise, but end up being double the price. Like you say there are a bunch of 7th edition tricks that you could use that don't really apply to 8th edition yet. So, for people eyeballing the Genestealer Cult box, I would say caveat emptor until they get a codex, which won't be for a while. LordAba fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Nov 20, 2017 |

Was thinking about getting a bunker to put devastators in. Would they be unable to get rerolls when embarked? Even without rerolls it's still tempting since usually Pedro is up front and not with the devs, and making them chew through a Leman Russ's defensive profile before the devs come out is appealing. Should I put a quad gun on it?

AnEdgelord posted:For MSU plague marines should they ALWAYS be in a rhino or is it feasible for them to footslog? Provided you have a large number of units they should be fine. The point costs of Rhinos is prohibitive and their special rule allows for surprisingly decent speed of movement on foot with minimal impact to damage output. And by MSU you mean a unit of 7, right?

Unless specifically stated, abilities that affect other units within a certain range have no effect whilst the unit that has the ability is embarked.

goose willis posted:Sanguinius was completely and utterly annihilated by Horus right Very doubtful Sanguinius is coming back, for now at least. They just released an excellent BL novel detailing the Blood Angels battle against the Tyranids on Baal. Sanguinius was not resurrected in the book, although judging by the way he showed up for Dante in a vision as he lay dying he may be floating around in the warp somewhere instead of being completely obliterated. If there are any new model releases for BA it's likely to be a maskless Dante in his role of Warden of the Imperium Nihilus, a new Mephiston, new primaris models or possibly some things that are essentially gigantic feral vampires that were released from imprisonment at the very end of the book. They did all seem to die though

I know they're never going to bring Horus back but it would be awesome if they made Abaddon a Lord of War semi-primarch character considering he's basically Robot Girlyman but for Chaos Like at this point Abaddon is very close to being a Lord of War mechanically so they might as well give him a bigger model and even better stats and make him even more badass

Primaris'd Dante in his role as Warden of the Imperium Nihilus would be pretty sweet, both as an update to an older (finecast ugh) model and as an addition to the BA codex.

I am almost completely certain they decided against allowing the old marines to get upgraded. There has been zero mention of that being a possibility in anything we've seen so far aside from that one comment when they were first announced.

Honestly I don't hate the Dante model. gently caress finecast (glad mine's metal), but it's far from the worst sculpt out there. Mephiston and the Sanguinor badly need new sculpts first (which is strange, since at least the sanguinor is a sculpt something like a decade older than Dante. The Dante sculpt is from 1995 and is old enough to drink.

I don't hate it, but for someone who's supposed to be literally the second most important Imperial character (as of Devastation of Baal, at least), he's got a really unimpressive model. You could miss him in a group of Sanguinary Guard outright if you didn't know to be looking.

Way back in ye olden 90s Sanguineus was 100% obliterated by Horus, it was part of why his Blood Angels have their curse because it was part pettiness by Horus but Big S death by his hand and removal of his psyche from the warp an what not was a huge deal. Ferrus Manus was beheaded an arguably Night Haunter but neither of their simpler deaths caused a magical curse on eithers legion. Their problems were already apparent. Point being is Sanguineus was supposed to be 100% no coming back dead which is why Big E did the same for Horus, it was no longer a question Horus had to be gone an oblivion was the only answer. But GW retcons are what they are. It'll be return of Sanguineus or a fusion of his soul and Dantae either which cheapens the whole thing. But slow roll outs of primarchs in 40k are their long game because hey it worked in 30k.

  My first shot at a Salamander dread. The rest of my SM army is painted purple, but I will start using the Salamanders scheme on all the new ones. It's a WiP, but I am happy with the result so far, considering I got zero artistic genes in my body.
