I like that Walker at least as much as you hate it, probably much more so. Al long as this book doesn't squat a bunch of stuff I'm all in. Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Aug 4, 2019 |

Maybe you can combine the armor plating from the other one. I mean the first version looks awful with that face plate anyway so take that and slap it into the Invictus might look good.

The way the roll cage is constructed makes it trivially easy to mod an enclosed cockpit if you don't fancy slotting in a Redemptor sarcophagus. Either use the cage as a frame for plasticard, or as a template to construct a new cockpit like how people used to make Armoured Sentinels out of the regular ones.

So the new trait shock assault would be fairly nasty if I combined it with the lightning assault chapter tactic. In reality though I’m sure you’ll change the WS tactic to something like rerolling advances or something just as dumb.

So if the psychic awakening is supposed to hit all factions, what do people like Necrons and Tau get? Do Pariahs come back, or Tau field Nicassar psykers?

We literally know nothing about it but likely? nothing. Malign sorcery and forbidden power in AoS were "for all factions" but if you didnt have a wizard it was a pretty sad selection.

Cross postin' from the mini painting thread. I've just finished my five Skull Marines, and with them I nearly, for the first time in ~20years of this dumb hobby, have a fully painted 2000pt army. Just 5 Hellblasters, A Librarian, Apothecary, Chaplain, and a Repulsor Exterminator left to go!  The army so far:  And, yeah, I really need to get a proper photography setup.

For Necrons all they need is cepytech powers that throw ligtning storms or something. C'tan could do it too. T'au need anti psyker Kroot or Etheals. Or just nothing because that is what T'au are, they have no defense or power to the warp and it makes sense for them.

Tau will get their giant floating psychic bear auxiliaries. Though seriously it wouldn't be hard to think up some sort of endless spell equivalent thing for the non-psyker factions. Dwarves and *Khorne* have endless spell equivalents. Der Waffle Mous fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Aug 4, 2019 |

Necrons and Tau can have anti-psyker stuff, because Tau aren't already sufficiently un-fun to play against.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Heck yeah I called the chapter specific sub codexes and the upgrade sprues. Ha, yeah, I was wrong about that. Wanted to say something earlier in the day but I don't have search and  to ctrl-f for my old posts and see who brought it up. Looks like upgrade sprues and at least 1 biggified or potentially new character per chapter/supplement. Wonder if they'll release all the supplements at once alongside the new codex or stagger them out, potentially with the upcoming campaign books they mentioned with the release of Vigilus 2. It'd be odd if they released 7 hardbacks at once, but most players will just need the new codex and one supplement. Plus it'd also be weird if they had some armies using their sup-par old codex rules for a few months after .It'll be a good way to create more distinct datasheets/abilities for the chapters, something like a White Scars-specific ability for BIKES and so on. Wouldn't be surprised if they also just move a few datasheets like centurions and the other codex-compliant only stuff entirely to the supplements in addition to the characters. They mentioned that the "full spectrum of units" in the new codex is for all nine first founding chapters and they'll justify it by saying the the basic datasheet is already in the kit's box. It'll cut down on main codex bloat as they continue to release primaris units (we'll probably get a third base codex within the next two years for the gravis marines release) and it'll look good for the chapter supplements that aren't Ultras or Fists because otherwise they'd have only 2 datasheets where it's [dude] and [dude w/ +1W and +1A].

I feel like you could every gun off of that transport apart from the cupola and end up with a better unit overall. I want to pay points for transport capability, not for yet more low strength shooting. Robo-suit is a bit weird. I don't know what gap its trying to fill. Also aesthetically, I wish it was a dreadnought. Let the boxy boys have some sneaky fun.

I just realised my blood claws are going to have 4 attacks each now when they charge. Nice. I've been finding them really good as character screening and blenders even if they die easily.

Yeah Plasticard would've been my second suggestion in this case. Was just wondering if using the Redemptor 'face plate' would be an easier alternative to a full build.

Im not into the roll-cage at all but fluffwise I like the notion; Dreadnought sarcophacii are incredibly hard to maintain and require tons of technical resources so why not just... have a pilot? Seems very Primaris.

I may be wrong but the codexes have always had "Space Marines" featured prominently on the cover. The eighth ed says "Codex: Adeptus Astartes" in small font above "SPACE MARINES" in larger letters below. Even their webstore has the header as marines.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I really don't see the point of it. Will it somehow aid Phobos units? Has anyone been clamoring for more heavy stubbers or a heavy bolter pistol? Mechanically it does offer something the list doesn't have right now: a big beefy infiltrating unit. Dreadnought power fists are no joke at flat 3 damage. I would expect it to be pretty close to a box dread profile but with toughness 6 and better movement. Infiltrating a model (or three) with that kind of durability and close combat threat makes both Reivers and Infiltrators better at what they need to do.

Guess who bought the space marine codex recently.  The redemptor kit is top notch so I'm crossing my fingers for this version of it, I think it'll grow on me. Chaos marines question, is there a compelling reason if you're taking berserkers playing black legion not to split them off into a world eaters detachment? Im torn between painting them all as black legion vs painting them as world eaters, I know I could just say they were WE regardless but still.

I excited to expand my Salamanders, but I am waiting to see how the rules shake out and to see if they have an upgrade kit. I dont really feel the amount of free hand i was doing before, and will only order the forgeworld transfers if I have to.
