ITT: People now getting annoyed at GW dropping information too far in advance of the release and bitching we don't have unit profiles to go along with the rules they've given good amounts of info about Ham: truly the saltiest meat

Tiger Millionaire posted:I bought that intro pack with paints, brushes and a few ultramarines at the weekend, I'm sure it's terrible value but the ease of just getting everything you need to start painting in a single box was nice. A few of the paints had separated and were, uh, lumpy? Always be sure to shake the paints vigorously before you use them, as the pigments can separate. ... Make sure the tops are firmly on first

Also although bolters can wound dreads on a 5+, before they used to be able to glance on a 6+ against rear armour and only needed 3 of those to outright kill. The dread would need to be in cover to even get a save, and it meant a squad of 10 could easily rapid fire a dread down if they got behind it. Overall much more survivable.

Looks pretty good so far. Keen to know how the points and power levels will operate though. I think that is going to be p clutch.

They need to track down whoever made those charts and whoever positively commented on them and just ban them from purchasing GW product ever again

It's clear they're going to have a Generals Handbook which has all points in, cross referenced to the datasheets. So to play competitive you need 2-3 things: 1) the rules 2) datasheet and (3) the points list). You don't even need the points list for playing the game... Just list building.

JesusIsTehCool posted:Have they shared with us what will be the major time savers in 8th? I don't mean to beat a dead horse but I really don't see how the changes they have shared would cut the game time in half, maybe like 20 or 40 minutes, but my shortest 2,000 point games run around 4 hours. No templates, truncated psychic phase, quicker shooting, less stages to combat, less looking up USRs or faffing about with rule interactions for desthstars I think are the main ones so far? Also hard to gauge points between editions tbh, as we don't know relative power levels much still. 13 points for an 8th ed marine is not the same as a 14 pt 7th ed marine... As the 8th ed marine is fighting 8th ed armies.

Also is it correct that if something is summoned and dies then that frees up its points again in the pool?

Makes sense. So if I have 5 Khorne dogs, 10 blood letters and 3 blood crushers, all costing the same points, I can just pick which one would suit the situation when the time comes to summon? Good way of doing it.

Judging by what we've seen with characters, spamming HQs probably isn't going to be the best tactic as they will all be standing holding their dicks and unable to be protected as you won't have as many troops to shield shooting

Thank God. That was always my number 1 issue. I don't want to have ultramarines stuff pushed on me after a quick chat about how I'm collecting salamanders, good God.

ITT: people sperging about how a battle cannon is no longer an effective anti-knight weapon Jfc, I'm beginning to understand why GW closed all their official forums if this is what you get. 8th ed looks fantastic, templates are a cool idea but poo poo in practice, I for one welcome our new overlords

chutche2 posted:Do you mind finding the post suggesting battle cannons were ever effective anti-knight weapons? Master Twig posted: The big issue with battle cannons is that it's D6 shots, not D6 hits. They say it's a great tank killer now, but with only 1d3 damage, they're still only likely to do 2 or 4 wounds on a vehicle. Not really that impressive. A Leman Russ firing against a T8 knight with a 5+ invuln you're looking at 1.17 hull points on average. That's pathetic. Again, I'd rather wait to see the bigger picture then start Mathammer raging about how they clearly 'suck against infantry' when we've only seen snapshot rules

Beast Hunter shells were A Thing in previous editions so there is the potential for something similar for anti armour BC to come out in the future... But arguably you should just take a Vanq if you want to be taking out tanks with a leman russ. I just don't see how you can make a BC better against vehicles without just making it 'not a BC'

I preferred the idea that the Emperor needs to be taken off the throne but by this stage he can't even speak psychically, so Guilliman just brooded staring at his corpse for a while before deciding 'gently caress it, let's crusade and do this.'

If they have a decent army builder app then this will not be a problem, but I doubt they will.

No normal Marines in that artwork. Big Marines are the new normal.

JackMack sounds good mate haha, I'll see what Adam is doing! Immortalised for his ability to not completely repulse one of the few women in WHW. I'll happily try 8th ed for the day!
