Ork players have a right to be nervous about this orktober rollout considering the way GW botched Necronuary and Wolfuly, not to mention genestealercultugust.

So I am getting to the end of painting my current batch of Tau, and with that comes the question of what I do next and I am being a bit indecisive. I could expand my tyranids, but I don't really have any desires for particular models so it would only be for crunch reasons. I don't really want to paint models for crunch reasons alone, particularly with the potential for chapter approved to shake things up. As a result I am thinking I will start a new army, right now I am flip flopping between GSC and Orks. GSC has the advantage that I could integrate them with the tyranids, particularly while they are in progress. However, I am not super into to mining crew aesthetic, which means I would effectively be doing tyranid-themed guard and I am just coming off a repetitive to paint army which somewhat turns me off. Orks have the advantage that I could have some fun with the paint scheme and being able to have fun on less repetitive models with plenty of opportunities for extra touches on models. I think I might die if I had to paint endless hordes of boys tho, so I am really hoping that 'kans/bikes/mechanized in general is viable in the new codex, but along with GSC I have no idea how either are going to be after codex.

Each one can be totally individualized with conversions and freehand, and 7 models gets you a whole army. To actually address your question, mixing a guard box with bits from the neophyte kit can yield some amazing results and minimize the mining aesthetic if you want. You can eat up chunks of points with allied guard vehicles too so you need not paint a high model-count force. This is my selfish suggestion because I want to see more sweet GSC ITT. On the other hand wait a week or two and get all aboard the Mad Max (Mad Mork?) Orkspress.

I still have 2-3 weeks of tau to paint, so I am at least waiting to hear about the new Orks codex. I am somewhat against knights just because there are an insane number at my LGS already, when I was there last thursday that every table had at least one.

Mob rule is good when it's only accounting for the number of models in an individual unit. The current implementation where you use the total number of models regardless of unit is bad and makes morale basically not matter against a decent Ork player.

Daisy chaining mob rule is also really irritating, where you can have a mob of 30 boys halfway across the map but their LD hops and skips six inches at a time between characters and other boys mobs to the unit that just lost 20 and they give no shits despite being two solid feet away from the big mob.

They changed that with the first "big FAQ" Mob rule is now the model count of that unit or the model count of another unit within 6"

So I have a massive Chaos Daemon army from AOS, and I am wondering which units are even worth taking in 40k. Having never used any daemons in 40k, I am really not sure how good these things are, since most of them have no guns. But so I have: 2 GUO Rotigus 1 Poxbringer 1 Sloppity Bilepipper 1 Spoilpox Scrivener Horticulus Slimux Epidemius Daemon prince with wings and Axe 6 Nurglings (6 more unassembled) 90 Plague Bearers (With 3 sets of commands) 6 Plague Drones (With 6 more unassembled) 12 Plague Toads 3 Beasts of Nurgle I also have the Corbax Utterblight model here somewhere

How have people been taking their devestator squads? Seems that 2 Lascannon 2 HB is pretty common, but would throwing in a missile launcher for flack missiles be worth the points over 1 HB? Also, extra bodies or keep it at 5 man?

Flakk missiles are pretty great with a cherub, I would take at least one. Assuming you have a wide variety of targets, devastators are generally a low priority, especially if they’re squatting in cover far in the backfield.

Black_Nexus posted:So I have a massive Chaos Daemon army from AOS, and I am wondering which units are even worth taking in 40k. Most of what you have there is a perfectly serviceable Nurgle army. Nurgle Daemons have the great benefit where almost every model they have is good-to-great, so it’s a matter of your play style and model preference really. Great Unclean Ones (and Rotigus) can get priority targeted and whittled down quickly, especially if the rest of your army is infantry or characters and there’s no better place for lascannons and the like to go. At least to start, I might suggest leaving them off as they’re expensive points-wise and it always stinks to lose a great unit quickly. Daemons are swimming with great support characters; Poxbringers, Bilepipers, etc are excellent to form a horde of nigh-unkillable infantry that do gross damage when they arrive. One thing you may want to consider is some method of anti-tank, as your daemons have short range and are slow to boot. Maybe look into a supplemental detachment of some type of vehicles or walkers with guns? Up to how you want to take it, but without long range support the first few turns will be a shooting gallery for your opponent.

My dev squads are usually 2 HB, 1 lascannon, 1 missile and maybe an extra bolter boi to soak up pot shots. Sometimes replace 1 HB with a second lascannon but I feel that starts making them too big of a target.

I run my Dev squads with 3 Las, 1 Plasma and 2-3 standard marines. The sergeant means I can overcharge the plasma every round without fear of blowing up.

More because of the models I have available than anything, but I run devastators with 4 missile launchers. Good against hordes, solid against tanks that aren't T8, and my meta doesn't see a ton of that. Also flakk missile is nice

How do you "afford" free tournaments? What do they give as the prize? And I think his idea was good (encouraging people to try different units) but how he didn't see it as "pay 2 win" seems like an impressive lack of critical thinking or awareness.

I imagine you could give away old demo game models? Like the stuff they put out for Dark Vengeance demos. They’re always painted nicely and it’s not like GW wants them back.

Frankly I'd be bummed about getting a random ols model, but then I don't like assembling poo poo and I'm lukewarm on painting. I'd much rather store credit so I can get stuff I actually want. Fortunately for me I'll never have to worry about winning a tournament  Also holy poo poo I never knew I needed an Ork food truck until now.

It happened to be the only heavy weapon I had four of, and I built it back before split-fire was a thing. In retrospect I'd rather have plasma cannons (to leverage the DA strategems) or Lascannons (to leverage being rad as hell), but since the two main armies I play against are Marines and Orks, I appreciate the versatility of the missiles.

Maybe I'll grab some predators, I do have 3 Nurgle looking Obliterators so I could use those. And two Hellbrutes, I could assemble one as a Las/Missile Launcher.

I want Primaris Breachers, with big cool-looking shields, wearing a variant of Mark X armor that takes inspiration from Mark II and III armor the same way the Intercessor/Hellblaster armor takes inspiration from IV and VIII, i.e. close enough that you could pass them off as truescale Mark II or Mark III by using the original II or III shoulder pads and helmets. Hell, do both. Have the Breacher and Devastator kits close enough that you can swap parts between them, the same way Intercessor and Hellblaster kits essentially work.
