I wanted to get an index but they were all sold, can someone tell me what noise marines and other Slaanesh looks like. I think I am going to take the death guard from the main box (trading primaris to a friend) but I don't understand if they're allowed to roll with emperor's children or what. Death Guard look good as gently caress by the way. All of these models look great.

Why wouldn't you want at least one unit of baller rear end chaos space marines with roaring bolters and spikes on them?

goose willis posted:You can do the exact same thing with a 10-man havoc squad which is identical in every way to a generic 10-man Chaos marine squad except they can take double the amount of big guns so why would you pick the generic squad? Are havoc squads troops?

I understand that, but I like chaos space marine armies. I'd take them because I like them. ALSO: The ~*flavour*~ will come in when they release the main codex books, is that correct? Like we can expect Chaos to get some more interesting psychic powers and poo poo when they release a Death Guard codex or what have you?

Lord_Hambrose posted:Yeah, this is definitely dumb. I think that regular Joe CSM not getting both is whatever, but not allowing 10000 year combat veterans to take both? Madness. I like the extra attacks for EC. I used to play Wolves against my friend's chaos marines and it was an exercise in frustration for him because my dudes were better at literally everything they did. He'd get berserkers up the field into cc (after half getting shot to hell) and they'd just get mauled by counter attacking grey hunters or a wave of cheap blood claws while long fangs obliterated support armour. I think he won once against me and half the games I didn't really think too hard or try, my units were simply the same price, but better in nearly every way.

Nah that crushed guy is cooked. He doesn't even give a gently caress about him. I did think about it and felt like it was more baller to leave him there yelling and reaching out helplessly while firing bolt rounds at some other nerd.

chutche2 posted:Actually though, what do people think of stormraven vs land raider crusader for carrying terminators? I really like flyers because of the whole RAPID TACTICAL INSERTION angle and I am not a big tank fan. I guess it depends what you expect to be fighting. If you are talking about which one to drop your money on I would get the Raven because it's flexible, flyers are good and it can poo poo out a dreadnought. The Raven is of course way more dangerous for the guys riding in it should they be shot down, but I like to live on the edge.

Pendent posted:I'd like to see some numbers on how much the Primaris release has hurt the sales on smallmarines. There's a bunch of stuff that looks pretty good now that I'd never bother to buy before like Whirlwinds and Landraiders but the knowledge that there's likely to be a new, bigger, replacement sometime soon really puts a damper on things. I would be surprised if bigly tanks were to wholesale replace the main line SM ones but who knows at this point. I guess if you have the money and like the model buy it. A bigger version of it or whatever isn't going to dampen your enjoyment of the current model. Hell I bought one of the last Thunderhawks to roll off the line and was like poo poo, but I like it better than the new version.

TheChirurgeon posted:The one thing I'd suggest is that you don't make the mistake of discounting mobility. One of the most common mistakes I see 40k players make when they try to build lists is, because it's difficult to quantify, they completely disregard the role of mobility and assign zero value to the unit's ability to get around the table, reach objectives/combat, and retreat to a safe distance when outmatched. So you end up with people talking about how "crazy" it is that Jump Pack Death Company cost more than Berserkers, when the latter may be more brutal in close combat, but they require you buy a transport to get them there Yep. I always favour jump assault troops over transport reliant ones because you can rock up very suddenly and a change in the game doesn't leave you out to dry, you just zip off and do/punch something else. There are downsides of course but I have a movement focussed brain in every kind of game I play and I like being able to stunt when it's called for rather than being risk averse and trundling about in a fuckload of metal boxes.

The only way 30k will go big is if GW turn around and go "hahahaaha loving sucked in, we just changed the entire scale of the game by stealth, hope your bin can accommodate those land raiders." Also I think the FW sculptors would kill themselves.

mango sentinel posted:Bobby G and Cawl put this plan into motion in the 30k era and I think that's when most of them went into their EZ Bake chambers but Cawl wasn't ready for debut until recently IIRC. I think they've technically been good to go the whole time, but the holy imperium meant Cawl couldn't keep doing cool poo poo for fear of being murdered. Now that Gooly is back it is on for young and old.

Pendent posted:In the context of 30k being considered to be the GW game for the more "serious" gamer this conversation is amusing me to no end. It's only serious by virtue of it being for the groggy gamer that wants to play historical Napoleonic battles in some batshit stupid future world of fascist supermen. I've found the people that play the game are as chill or more chill than 40k (which isn't a high chill level, but nonetheless) and often make really loving stupid decisions based on "well, a world eater totally would have tried to charge through that dangerous pool of acid".

BULBASAUR posted:Oh man, yeah, FW has alarmingly bad editing sometimes. They have some headscratchers when it comes to balance too. I feel like their own game is well balanced after the red books, but imperial armour has always been pretty funny releasing blatantly superior stuff that costs the same points as mainline GW armour and stuff. I think it was the laser destroyer battery for IG that was the most hated as a few of them could clean sweep an armoured column on the first turn and they were cheap as poo poo considering they could reliably blow the poo poo out of land raiders with minimal fuss. There is also the opposite end where they release a nice model that has cool rules but it is so expensive in points that no one wants to take it.

chutche2 posted:Speaking of balance: Well it is cheaper (100 pts will kit out all your sargeants) and the damage number is super reliable on the fellblade, plus as you said you have the demolisher. I guess it depends what you're shooting but AP-4 and 6 dam isn't garbage, plus it can go infantry clearing in the other mode along with a demolisher round which is pretty rude. But yeah take the huge loving volcano gun because it is a volcano gun. e: actually I can't work it out in my head, maybe I'm doing mental arithmetic that doesn't make sense and is desperate to justify the fellblade for some stupid reason. The demolisher is nice, but you could take a conga line of tanks with demolisher cannons for that price. JBP fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Jun 21, 2017 |
