It's the difference between two players agreeing on restrictions as a mutual thing, and one player deciding unilaterally that there's extra rules which aren't stated and you're a bad person for not following.

I don't think anybody seriously said that. Personally I just think it seems a bit silly that every small skirmish involves the top leadership from whatever side. It's even worse when people play marine vs marine. I know it makes me a grog and not necessarily means the players a bad people.

Don't forget that there's a near-perpetual motion engine inside it, that they don't have the instruction manual for because the guy who invented it didn't share how it worked before he died. So, since they're too scared to turn it off in case it doesn't turn back on again, they store Dragoons and Ironstriders either in huge circular barracks, where the walkers are constantly turning and the riders have to be lowered on with a huge crane, or on huge treadmills to (very inefficiently) transfer that energy into other machinery.

I always pictured them on giant ellipticals.

This is one of the only units I don't have yet. I'll start picking some up once I'm done getting my Fulgurite Electro-Priest squad up to 20.

Australia cares about cunts. Including this one.
Played against some tau suits+drones+2 hammerheads list on Friday with 80 brims, 4 demon princes, Bel'kor, 4 heralds, changling and I had so many points to spare I tossed in 9 screamers. Smite spam is still an amazing thing and with enough brims (with points to allow some spitting off the single blues) really protected all my characters. I can see wanting some shooting and don't own enough exalted flamers so I started to look at....

What is the general consensus on Renegades & Heretics in 8th edition?

I was checking them out yesterday. Probably pretty solid to use in Chaos soup. The Malefic Lord is a cheaper Primaris Pskyer with a 4++ so that makes them the best smite platform in the game. I'm probably going to run like 7 of them with like 100 brimstones and changingling instead of demon princes. I'm digging for a cheap reroll platform in chaos like Hakkar but I'm not seeing one so I'll probably not really use the rest of the artillery line but I can take chaos marine quad launchers or autocannon havocs so maybe that will be a thing.

Brimstone horors+Malefic Lords is so crazy I can't not play it.

To us 40K is a platoon to company level game and we don't often have anyone more senior than a captain leading things. We sometimes do use special characters (especially when testing tournament builds) but we always convert up our own counts-as models. My buddy's Grot Guard has a capped grot poking out of a Vanquisher as a counts-as Pask. Or my own counts-as Marbo (which I finished 6 months before they removed him from the game :argh: )



I remember when you made him. Marbo rules.

It's a shame Rogue Psyker Covens can get shot off the table basically instantly, I want to bring a unit or two of them to Unnatural Vigor an Ogryn squad and churn out 3d6 smites, but t3 5++ on non-characters is just too fragile for something so obviously powerful, even with three wounds each. Also, Chaos Marines don't have quad launchers (yet loyalists do of course, though they at least had to have it FAQ'd in) so you'd have to use the Guard ones. Maybe you were thinking of the quad heavy bolters?

If you mean the indices, no, it's not in there. It's 30k-only right now and its rules are in Book VII, Inferno.

I'm guessing that FW will eventually add their Custodes and Sisters of Silence ranges to 40k 8th edition. It makes too much sense not to.

Speaking of FW rules, apparently they forgot about their Raven Guard assault marine model as Korvydae has no rules. You can still buy the model though. Whoops.


I picked up that Primaris Librarian yesterday after my game. The model is really loving awesome.


As for my game, I lost in turn 7 when the relic holding squad was slaughtered by Bobby G's heavy bolter. Fun game though. Made the dumb mistake of wasting my vulture on Guiliman to no effect, but it took my opponents entire first round of shooting to remove it, so it died a hero.

The renegades have quad launcher emplacements. Which is good enough. BS 4, 48" with 4d6 shots instead of 4d3.

What are the odds a Primaris Space Marine army would ever use 2 Chaplains? I am stuck in analysis paralysis between copying Zuuls and buying the actual one. (Its the same price between the two.)


Friendly PSA: Dont be a fool like your friend dexefiend and buy 100+ models in a short time frame!

I feel like i will never be done cleaning these models. It doesn't help that I am pretty anal when it comes to mold lines. I think I have 91 models ready for drilling bolters and attaching my shapeways shoulderpads.

Two possible answers.
1) I feel like Captains do a better job of providing a hit buff since it will work for ranged as well so generally give more to your army for the points. You might want one Chaplain to escort a heavy hitting unit in combat so you don't risk your captain.
or
2) Go nuts. Have two skull-chaps with pimp canes having a swag off.

The whole character discussion is silly. For instance, I didn't have Ghazgkhull Thraka leading some Deffskulls--it was Boss Nekkstompa rolling with his Lefftenuntz the Git Grindaz in their Kustom Battlewagon. I don't have Nightbringer, I have He That Ends All. Play how you want.

I really like Reaper Aged + Polished bone since they are a much more bleached look than GW Ushabti/Screaming. I get frustrated occasionally at how wet/loose they are in comparison to Citadel thiccness but Polished Bone especially gives that clean white bone.
