So I'm looking at Death Guard and Wraith focused armies as alternatives to jumping in on Space Marines. How poopy are Wraithguard focused lists looking? I ask, hands trembling over a $170 Wraithknight about to get creamed in one turn by a bunch of screaming barbarians with jetpacks

There's a little three dot thing you can click on which gives you the option to flag a channel as not interested; it'll never show up again if you do that.

can anyone recommend some US based bits sellers? looking to concert some berserkers and need shoulderpads and chain axes. also can a berserker replace his gun with a chain axe and keep his other melee weapon?

But Youtube is hell bent on recommending cable news channels that have taken to their platform no matter how many times I say no.

I told YouTube I was sick of them promoting that nazi gently caress Pewdiepie and his videos stopped showing up in my recommends. They must actually have a block function but it's not user facing.

At least one youtube extension allows you to block specific channels, but as far as I know there's nothing that's built in.

The "Don't recommend this channel to me" option really does work, I've used it dozens of times.

The trick for me was that it's not enough to click "I don't like this video." You have to go into the "Why?" button following that and select "Don't recommend this channel to me." It will not algorithmically block an entire channel just because you habitually disrecommend videos from that channel.

Wraithguard? Not so much I think. The problem with asking "as an alternative to space marines" tagged onto a question of "how good is this" the answer is nearly always don't do it stick to space marines. I know you probably mean you just don't want to be yet another SM player and want to pick something at least decent, but just wanted to make sure expectations are right.

With the new edition hitting, I’m thinking about diving back into 40K. I still have a couple units of Iron Warriors from waaaay back in 3rd edition. What would be the best way to go about expanding my IWs? I basically only have 2 units of marines, a unit of old ugly Obliterators, and a Chaos Lord. I used to have a Defiler and a Rhino, but I guess those vanished sometime between being a teenager and now being a mid-30s married man.

Chaos are in a pretty bad place right now, so if probably just advise you to get stuff to fill out a detachment (e.g. A battalion) if you don't already have it, and get started on that as more iron warriors and some sort of second HQ choice will always be useful. By the time you've managed to paint all that stuff, 9th will have been out a little while and you may get a bit more feeling online on what's got good. For example, defilers may be a lot better now they can shoot into the combat they are in.

I know we have our fair share of bickering bullshit in the thread, but I just want to call out how good it is that goons are universally like 'gently caress That Guy'. You're good people, and against all goony odds, sometimes I think we lose sight of how good it is compared to the morass outside.

Using the warm wash will make it feel a bit more like skin rather than a flat black rock; you can switch out for nuln oil or drakenhof nightshade if you want to make it feel more like stone. Druchii violet would be a really alien look, also worth consideration.

Omar al-Bishie posted:I just assembled and primed a daemon prince with claws but no wings added yet, which I'm priming separately. but before I glue them on, do winged princes seem like they'll be viable? I know they just got a lot more expensive I can only speak in regards to the Daemon Prince of Tzeentch as it’s a bit better than a normal Daemon Prince of Chaos, but mine has never ever let me down. When shielded by a group of melee infantry units to stop it getting shot to bits before it can go krumpin the enemy he has basically been a one man army. Even without screening troops has survived longer than he should. The last game I played I took two and they really went to town on some Sisters of Battle.  I also love how he looks like he is constantly taunting the enemy. I personally would give yours wings.

I love your painting scheme. Tzeentch is cool as hell, even though as a follower of Khorne I must declare you a little scamp psyker baby. I forgot the chaos space marine shoulder pads and the knee pads so I reprimed my dude with those bits on, I'll add wings tomorrow I think

Omar al-Bishie posted:what puts chaos in a bad space currently? the Goonhammer article for 8th said they were strong if you took the right stuff. I'm building a mono-Khorne army, are they not good? A few things. Chaos took some bad hits in the points re-jiggering. For example, Cultists going to 6ppm when Guardsmen went to 5ppm is painful when you want to buy Cultists in large mobs. Speaking of which, large mobs (which you want for your Cultists and Lesser Daemons) themselves are less viable in 9th edition. Blast weapons wreck them quickly, and the new Coherency rules means if you gently caress up your movement or which models you pick as casualties you could end up losing even more models. Which in turn means that Conga Lining is dead which was a tactic that Chaos used a lot with Cultists and Daemons. The BIG problem, though, is that the way the new Detachment rules work it penalizes Soup lists by costing you CP to get more than one detachment. Which means that the bread and butter of Chaos lists, which was one detachment of Chaos Marines and a second detachment of Chaos Daemons, ends up having fewer CP than any single faction army. Which, since you can be a CP thirsty army, is pretty painful. Any one of these hits can be worked around, but all of them together really hurt the way that Chaos was played in late 8th edition. That's not to say that someone won't come up with something new as people finally start playing games again, but early 9th looks like a much more difficult landscape for Chaos than late 8th was. e: Oh, and the fact that you can't inflict more than a -1 penalty to hit on someone breaks one of Chaos' newer tricks out of Psychic Awakening: the Unhittable Greater Possessed is now just the Slightly Harder to Hit Greater Possessed. jng2058 fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Jul 15, 2020 |

I feel you guys are selling arch short. He is not just racist. He is also a raging misogynist, homo- and transphobe, as well as probably every other know form of bigotry. Finally, he has an atrocious and unbelievable annoying voice, but I guess that’s not his fault and I shouldn’t hold it against him. It’s not quite the same league, but I still get recommended striking scorpion 82 vids (especially since 9th dropped) even though i told YouTube not to recommend me that racist rear end in a top hat again Eej posted:Yeah I know what you mean and maybe Wraithstuff not a great choice but the Death Guard seem kinda cool and Myphitic Blight Haulers are good but more importantly cute! No one really knows, because there is no meta yet, but death guards looks kinda good for 9th, they got some really nice stuff in their PA and if 9ths focus on controlling objectives keeps being a thing, then durability (which DG are great at) will probably be valuable. Blightlord terminators might continue to be a competitive choice. I think the new 4++ for demon engines will be cool. With regards to wraith eldar, I don’t think anyone has won anything using a wraith-based list for a long time. It’s been wall to wall night spinners and shining spears for a while, but that’s mainly a function of ITCs lame missions. The closest to a decent wraith army is three hemlock wraithfighters and the very occasional wraithlord. The wraithstuff just not very good and incredible expensive for what they do, and deceptively squishy. Might change for 9th, who knows, but they sucked in 8th. The wraithguard and wraithlord do have the benefit of both doing shooty and fighty at an okay level, which may end up being good but it’s hard to say.
