I am just getting back to 40k, do all models need to be on 32mm bases now? I bought some chaos marines and they still come with 25mm

So I am just getting back into 40k after about 5 years out, and I am getting into genestealer cults. Anyone have any ideas for what gear options to take for the Acolyte and Neophyte hybrids? I am confused as hell as to what is actually good.

Age of Sigmar is a pretty drat good game, I was sour as gently caress for almost a year after the end times ended but I am enjoying the gently caress out of it now(The General's compendium helps a lot). Although I will agree we have basically none of our old players, but it's crazy how many new people are getting into AOS because of the much smaller model counts. So anyway if you guys want help to do a thread I can also help with content, I play it every week.

Do chaos marines go on 32mm or 25s now?

40k isn't getting the age of sigmar changes, they've even confirmed that in official channels. They are going to streamline it a bit I would guess, maybe try to knock down the amount of books you need. There are lots of reasons that fantasy didn't do well, and obviously a lot of it was GW's fault but the new GW seems to understand that they poo poo everywhere and at least seem to want to clean it up a bit

So I am fixing up my old Death guard army(Since I picked up traitor legions) and managed to convince some friends to take their stuff out of the boxes and play some games. Should we use all the detachment/formation poo poo, or just use the basic force org charts to play the first few games?

goose willis posted:So are the Genestealers a separate faction from the Tyranids now? How does all of that work? I think they used to be separate back in 2nd edition (?) and I distinctly remember they had a big, retarded space limo (!) that you could ride around in. They are a separate faction (Genestealer Cult), they can currently ally with guard or tyranids

JesusIsTehCool posted:Invalidating Codexes pretty much insures the luanch of 8th will be bad. It means they either have to come up with good and interesting rules for every unit in the game and then give them away for free or, and more likely, white wash huge chunks of the units in the game until they come out with supplements to making them interesting. Seeing how they have handled writing rules for pre-existing models in the past this might be an AOS level bad luanch. To be fair, every edition they launch with old books still in it is a poo poo show too. With half the armies rules turning to dogshit due to some change or becoming over the top good for others.

Mango Polo posted:As a Tyranid player, I 100% approve of burning the entire library of rulebooks and army books to the ground and quenching the fire by pissing and shiting upon it. All in the vain hope that a glorious phoenix might arise from the ashes covered in piss and poo poo. I mean, it would be hard for them to get worse right?

Zaphod42 posted:The one he's painting has a bolter in his right hand. The one in the picture has a bolter in the left hand and a bolt pistol in the right hand. Chaos needs new models in general, so many old poo poo models. And even some of the new ones look awful, what the gently caress were they thinking with the mutilators?

The point system sounds cool, so you either have a really specific one for tourny play with points for equipment. But if you need to slap an army together quick you can do the other point and just use set points to build the army quick without individually picking stuff

They are cherry picking some of the good rules from AOS and combining them with the more 40kish statline is what it sounds like

Zuul the Cat posted:I like that units won't be safe in close combat. If anything, it forces you to attack as an army and not piecemeal. Sure, you can run up ahead with those assault units and wipe out a squad or two, but they're going to get immediately killed by the rest of the army. A better tactic would be to engage firing lines, then move those assault units up or attack from the flanks. I love that my troops don't need to stand there getting punched by a dreadnought they can't realistically hurt while it murders them

TheChirurgeon posted:Yeah, as MSP pointed out, that's the problem--right now he's one of the only models in the game that hits on a 2+. In 8th, the same ability would make him comparatively much worse than the new characters who can hit on a 2+. If they add in some of the AOS type rules he'll most likely generate more attacks or something cool.

muggins posted:Should they really be such a gamble if you have to weather heavy and small arms fire for two turns beforehand? There are a LOT of units in AOS that can charge first turn, due to extra movement abilities or charge boosts. Mounted Daemonettes for example, move 14" +2d6+1 run and then also charge 2d6 So I am thinking a lot of 40k units will be able to as well.

In AOS you get +1 Bravery per 10 guys, I am sure something like that will be in 40k. And/or commanders giving out immunity to battleshock or using their much higher leadership

Fast units that roll well on their charge(Or have bonuses), can surround a unit and make it unable to fall back. If that units of 30 guys rolls high on the charge they could easily surround a unit, stop it from going anywhere and protect themselves from shooting the next turn. In AOS if you can't move more than 3" away with each model you can't fall back Black_Nexus fucked around with this message at 00:00 on May 4, 2017 |

The Bee posted:How do Genestealer psykers compare to Tyranid ones currently? You have 2 possible ones you can take, the Patriach and the Magus. Their special lore is ok, some of the spells are a little situational but good. And also they can pick from several of the basic lores instead of tyranids who get hosed and can only take tyranid ones
