Alright just came back from my first 8e game and first 40k game in like over a decade. It was my Admech patrol + Imperial Guard patrol detachment vs my friend's Necrons in a Scouring Mission. I was kinda blown away by how well the guard did, the Company Commander just followed an infantry and Scion squad around and kept yelling orders at them and they did some serious work. They crushed a small squad of immortals, a ton of scarabs and almost took down a full squad of warriors, though the bastards kept getting back up no matter how many I took down! Sniped the Lord to death with Arquebuses but other than that my Admec didn't really do so well, a lot of it was my fault since I didn't deploy my Dominus and Vanguard optimally so they barely affected the games outcome. I was also kinda disappointed with my crawling killamagig Onager, he scored wound after wound on the enemy necron crawler thing with the neutron laser but nothing stuck, just kept fizzling out on it's shield. At the end of turn five I had taken half the board and he had the other but he had more victory points so I lost out but it was still a drat fun game, pretty quick even though we kept checking the rulebook and our wargear lists just about every turn. Also we both completely forgot about our command points, that would have helped in a few places. Really making me consider working on a full Guard or even a Guard + Genestealer Cult army.

The Bee posted:I can understand wanting to focus on the first founding chapters primarily, but once the 3 non-codex marines are done I hope we also get Black Templars and Legion of the Damned. After all, 8th edition could theoretically hold the same framework for a long while, right? That means full codex updates may not be needed. I really hope the Space Sharks get some love, after I'm done my Admec I wanna start them up.

FiestaNinja posted:I'd almost put down money on imperial civil war being on the cards. Making the Ministorum its own named faction is way too obvious. I really hope tech-heresy translates into giant mechanical death spiders, that's some heresy I could 100% get behind. Dark Mechanicus would be such a fun faction, machines, chaotic flesh monsters, robo psykers, the list of cool poo poo just goes on and on.

Any word on a Primaris Tech-Marine? I would like to supplement my Admec with some primaris but want a techy leader for them. Edit: vvvv That is too bad, a bigger marine with mechadendrites and power wrenches would have been rad. Cainer fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jul 24, 2017 |

JoshTheStampede posted:I guess I have a deep hatred of "opponents permission" rules because I've played with too many shitlords who would never give permission for anything they thought might beat them. Ya the permission thing was always dumb for that very reason. I rarely ever got to play my old Dark Eldar humonculous hero because of that, can't even remember his name it's been so long since 3rd. Nowadays I dislike using hero's since I prefer my own dudes but I have no beef with other people wanting to use their's. Making them required is dumb as all hell though.

Thanqol posted:Jesus, I know. Some AdMech guy somewhere said, "yes, we are going to have a giant robotic chicken piloted by a limbless gimp, surrounded by a cloud of incense, ridden by a man in shining plate armour carrying a cattle prod longer than he is tall, and we are going to use it to cavalry charge the enemy. This is a good idea. This is how warfare in the year 41,000 should be." I wanna get some Kataphron once I'm done painting my last squad of Vanguard but I keep hearing the Dragoon temptress's seductive song. I have no idea if it will even do good on the board, especially solo, but it's just so rad!

Zuul the Cat posted:Yeah, I know they work for some people. In my experience, they've been a waste of points. My Rangers have killed less than 5 guys in the entire time i've had them. I've just stopped taking them. Kataphron Destroyers are better. I really hope Rangers get a bump up in the codex, they are some of the coolest looking models in my army but I only use them MSU for sniping. That ap-1 on 6's is so underwhelming and I hope they change it to always ap-1. Or maybe give them infiltrate or something.

Zuul the Cat posted:I only have 2 Kastelan's at the moment, but i've been running them with the datasmith and my tech-priest dominus behind them. They did work against my friends Necrons last game, but I lost one to shooting against some Immortals. A transport, a flyer, a BIGGER ROBOT or a robopysker in a box would be awesome. On the subject of Electro-Clowns, I've seen a dude at my FLGS play them and they're disgustingly strong but they're just so gosh darn ugly I won't ever let them in my force. I have a strict "you have to be 'this' cool to die for me in battle" rule. I'd have to settle for Rustwalkers.

Ya I don't think we'll get a transport either. I just hope our less useful Troops get some buffs in the new codex, like getting back the old double-wound rules for vanguard's cancer guns(the new double damage thing has yet to ever do anything for me), something to make rangers a unit I want to take over literally any of the other Troops choice options like Infiltrate or just straight up better Advancing rules. The old Scout and Crusader rules they used to have were really nice. New robots and a flyer would be pretty rad, I still need to pick up some stompy Kastelons for my army but I think I'm just gonna hold off till the codex hits to see what happens. I still have an Onager, a couple of vanguard and my new Kataphron Destroyers to paint anyway, no point throwing on an even bigger workload till they're done. I cannot wait to see what our Strategems are, though they are probably just the old skittles Doctrina Imperatives with varying Command Point costs. Hopefully since they will cost CP they won't have the downsides to them.
