Is warhammer fantasy and 40k in the same universe? Who is going to win in the end? Can I eat my lunch here? Could you tell him to stop cheating? Do you know when my mum is picking me up? Are you on commission? When are plastic sisters coming? What happened to squats? Will the models be cheaper when they are plastic?

Sharkopath posted:If somebody wants a not joke answer: The Hive Mind is coordinating a galaxy wide invasion from all fronts and the chaos gods themselves call it Anathema. Until Baal they've been trying to avoid drawing the hive fleets ire because theres absolutely no gain for them, the few times they had direct conflict. It just grinds them down until it wins, diverting resources from other sectors, and is genuinely painful to be deep in the shadow of for demons, lesser demons cant even manifest in its presence and banish back to the warp. I thought the Anathema was what they called the Emperor.

Well, it's the Emperor's fault the nids are invading the milky way in the first place, according to the Horus Heresy books They were first attracted to the Milky Way when the Ultramarines deliberately overloaded a pre-human FTL transport/communications device called the Pharos they were defending from the Night Lords. The Pharos could function as a beacon in the warp, like the Astronomicon on Terra, and its death scream was a blinding, strobing pulse in the immaterium. It was so bright, in fact, that it attracted the attention of the Hive Mind at least a galaxy away. It took the hive fleets ten thousand years to reach the source of the pulse, but they're here

Crisis Suits started this edition at 45 points base, and are currently down to 24 points base. Fusion Blasters have also dropped from 18 to 14. The problem with Crisis Suits is that their weapons cost the same as on a Commander, which has a 2+ save, double the wounds, and the Character rule up keep them safe. They're also limited very strictly to weapons with an 18" range which makes them pretty solidly incompatible with a castle. I love them but it's not because they're efficient or good

Yes, whether or not they are good now is still up in the air as far as I know. Just a couple FYI's: Today is the last day for the sale on IMPCAT, $1 for a painting app that you can download custom paint and models (Artel W and Vallejo built in). Also maxmini is closing shop at the end of the year, get your cyborg bits and cog axes.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Tldr: Tau can be A-tier but they have some of the most unpleasant mechanics in the game. The deadly trifecta of boring, frustrating, and time-consuming. It sucks for you and your opponent. So the game apparently still suffers from codex creep, where the armies with the newest codex is always the most powerful?

They have put out plenty of not-powerful codices. It isn't linear codex creep. Imo, they will try to make each subsequent codex as good as SM not better.

If you're playing competitive you're going to be constantly adjusting in response to the meta. If you're not playing competitively then the differences won't matter because there are so many other factors at play. Find an army that speaks to you, put together a force you like, and don't worry about how competitive it is.

I think the only armies that people agree is playing on "hard mode" in terms of, you will really struggle to put up a good fight even if the other player is equally as good as you at the game, is like Grey Knights and Necrons. Even then I'm fairly sure Grey Knights despite it being agreed as being generally bad, will still kick the poo poo out of someone if played by a good player against someone whos new to the game.

Pure Tyranids apparently have the worst ITC record in the last 6 months, but that could be because hardly anybody plays GK and Necrons in ITC.

Necrons can be effective, but to do so requires such a narrow list (Destroyers and Immortals basically) that you're throwing out 90% of the codex, which is boring. And doing that only brings you from Bad to Mediocre, to be honest. jng2058 fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Dec 9, 2019 |

There's like a dozen Necron top 4s on 40k Stats, including a guy who went 5-0 at the very competitive Warzone Atlanta, but the army is not exactly overflowing with good choices. In the real world of casual gaming, most players are varying shades of bad anyway, so whether Marines are overpowered or not is kind of irrelevant.

Hah, reminds me of the last time I played Necrons, which was back in like 2007-8, before their 2011 codex rework that gave them a lot of options. Your army was basically "as many destroyers as you can fit into a list, and then whatever else to fill points because your destroyers are going to do all the work", followed by the game version update that made glancing hits unable to destroy vehicles, so they were rendered unplayable until said codex rework.

I ended up fighting Imperial Fists centurion spam to only losing by 2 points at a tournament and I was running 52 Deathwing Terminators/Knights and DA is solidly bottom tier. A "bad" codex against a "good" codex doesn't always mean failure.

This is still the right play, as many destroyers as you can afford, 3 doomsday arks, maybe some tomb blades, and a cryptek with a blob of dudes for command points and to eat charges.

Well the Fallen and the Ravenwing have the same paint scheme, black with some red and white, so I count them as one. goose willis posted:Chaos Daemons? Khorne is red, Tzeench blue, etc. It's like guard regiments where it's the same codex but they're still essentially different factions. Especially given their rivalries and hatred of one another.
