Proletariat Beowulf posted:TOXICRENE COMPLETE! This looks amazing. I love how sharp and clean the colors are. It looks like a cartoon, and I mean that in the best way possible. evilmiera posted:So what is up and coming in 40K after release and the new starter pack? Any kind of timeline going on or particularly probable rumors? There will be a Primaris codex that will include among other things, rules for a Primaris Librarian, a non-Gravis Captain, Reiver Scouts, the Repulsor Tank, and a flyer that's described in the new book as "like the Deathwatch Corvus Blackstar, only bigger." We'll also get a Death Guard codex that will have rules (and releases) for Mortarion, Death Guard terminators, and a new Nurgle beast that looks like a slug with lots of legs. After that, no one knows. JesusIsTehCool posted:Does the new book have any more details? Like what color is associated with the 11th company or how the squads are organized? It says they don't have company color markings when they arrive on scene. My guess is that they'll eventually get added into companies as marines die and get replaced (the book even has a primaris captain wonder what older marines think about their days being numbered, and wondering if they're bitter about it). I'm p much done with it, so if you want it, PM me your address and I can mail it to you. It's OK. Not amazing, but it's not bad and it has its moments. It's not overly heavy on battles--which I tend to not give a poo poo about in most of the books--but the ones it does have are just primaris dudes curbstomping everyone they come across (though I haven't read the last few chapters. I assume at least one of them will die on-page at some point).

The Bee posted:I feel like your post has, like, at least 5 parts I could quote while angrily waving around GW's "marines won't be replaced by Primaris" talk. Yeah, maybe? I mean, they aren't replacing them in the sense that you can still use your old marines just fine, and they have several advantages over the less tactically flexible big guys (they make a comment about this in the book, where one of the primaris dudes wishes his squad had tactical squad weapon loadouts for more flexibility). I was also surprised to see them sow some initial seeds of discord between the groups, with both Primaris marines being upset about being assigned to second founding chapters instead of their original chapters (all of them were recruits from those chapters before Guilliman was killed, so they remember the original legions and their homeworlds and the customs of those planets and legions), and older marines like Calgar feeling put out by the way things have changed (though I doubt Calgar is gonna rebel or anything). Between that and Cawl making primaris marines out of chaos legion geneseed, there's lots of *potential* for both older marines to splinter off as their own force and primaris marines to defect. Whether they do anything interesting what what they're building is anyone's guess, though.

chutche2 posted:This doesn't even make sense to me. Is the master of the chapter's armory standing in front of the door swatting any primaris marines that come near with a rolled up newspaper? They don't get to pick the weapons they're armed with going in. They're issued weapons based on their role (e.g. intercessor, hellblaster, etc) and currently it doesn't look like their armaments get heavier than the new plasma rifles.

Master Twig posted:So, turns out Necron Gauss Pylons are ridiculous. T8, 30 wounds, 3+, 5++. 2+ BS. It's immobile, but can deep strike turn 1. Main gun has 120" range, is a macro weapon, d6 shots, S16, AP-4, 6+d3 damage. A secondary weapon that gets 2d6 strength 6, AP-2 shots, and a pistol weapon that gets 3d6 shots at strength 4, ap-1. Yeah my group's Necron player has already been twirling his mustache and nerd-cackling about using his because it's basically a bigass Titankilling gun (it can one-shot knights and most knight-sized Titanic vehicles because its primary gun has Macro and hits on a 2+). I suspect the way to deal with it is dropping a bunch of chainfist terminators on it. 470 points is a lot for something that can't move though, and is only kind of useful against non-vehicle/non-titan models. It's really good, but I don't think it's gonna break games, especially if you don't bring a juicy target for it to shoot. e: Also the 2D6 gun isn't a secondary weapon, it's a secondary firing mode of the main gun. If this thing isn't shooting titans, it's got 18" range with the secondary mode and 3" with the pistol. TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Jun 29, 2017 |

A friend quit her Orks after a 6th ed Apocalypse game of just the Transcendant C'tan murdered her two Stompas like it was nothing. I'm OK with Knights and that class of "tiny superheavies" but I agree that anything bigger needs to be relegated to Apocalypse-style games or Escalation scenarios where it's either "a bunch of dudes trying to take down a superheavy" or "godzilla fights" The Transcendant C'Tan was way better in 6th/Apocalypse than it was in 7th, when it suddenly got random powers

Xae posted:Lets say I'm thinking about making Bad Life Decisions and getting into 40k. Welcome to the asylum! Getting started is pretty easy. The best way to do it is with the starter kit, seen here (you can get it cheaper elsewhere): https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Skitarii-Starter-Collection-ENG-2017 They look "sold out" right now (which makes no sense because both bundled products are in stock but w/e), but basically it's a Skitarii start collecting box ($85) + the Imperium 2 Index ($25). I don't know if that gets you to 500 points with the current rules, but I suspect you'll be close or a single squad away. Assuming you buy the book and don't just pirate it, if you get these guys from places offering discounted rates, you can get in for less than $135 after you add on another squad to get to 500.

The Bee posted:I mean, with how useful large unit sizes are in this edition, I doubt this will be too much of a problem. It'll probably cost far more troop slots than it's worth, especially with tournaments being limited to 3 detachments. That said, it's clearly a case of the spirit of the rules and the letter clashing hard. They just need to add a matched play rule prohibiting under-strength units.

WhiteWolf123 posted:I think eliminating the 6th/7th clusterfuck that was the old psychic rules was arguably the best change between them and 8th edition. It was a complete trainwreck. Seriously. I'm sad about losing Traitor Legions rules, but I'd give them up for good if it meant never seeing those terrible psychic rules come back. A bad phase that a third of the game's armies have nothing to do in and a plethora of useless, random powers Powers are good enough to use now, which is fine. It's not the ideal implementation in my opinion--that would tie the size of the effect to a psyker's mastery level--but at least it isn't randomly selecting powers with a 1/6 chance to get something game-breakingly good or a 4/6 chance to get something worthless

 BATTLE REPORTI was visiting the in-laws over the weekend, so I took some time to run up to ANAmal.net's place and play a game of 40k against him and a mutual friend who's just getting into the game with Orks. We decided to do a Narrative mission, and went with Breakthrough, where the Attacker (me) has to head up the table longways and put units in the enemy deployment zones (they have two, one comprising the rear 18" of table, and a 'forward deployment zone' constituting the next 18"). I decided to bring my World Eaters with me, running a couple squads of Berserkers in Rhinos, a Chaos Lord on Juggernaut, a squad of bikes, a squad of Terminators in a Land Raider, a 2x CCW Dreadnought, and summoning reserves of bloodletters and flesh hounds (x2). Also, I brought Kharn, because I was almost done painting the newer model, so I figured hey why not? The table, set up at ANAmal.net's place:    What went down I killed ANAmal's Librarian warlord in the preliminary bombardment, then spent my first turn boosting forward, with the most notable outcome being that my Land Raider shot 11 wounds off the Ork Battlewagon in one volley of lascannon fire. They retaliated by mulching my dreadnought on their turn, and plowing into my tanks with a battlewagon and a bunch of orks.  A few turns of combat later, plus some summoning, and I was able to turn the tide in my favor. The Berserkers and Kharn piled out of the Rhino the Orks had assaulted, and punched the gently caress out of them. But not before the Orks managed to kill the Rhino, causing it to explode and killing a handful of berserkers and terminators in the process. The other Berserkers pulped ANAmal's bikes, while my bikes got stuck in against a bunch of Flash Gitz, who I definitely underestimated.  The final score was 9-6 when we called the game on turn 5. Some of the big scorers were the daemons, who got dropped in deep behind enemy lines for easy points.  Highlights and Notes - It's really hard to keep Kharn far enough away from your dudes to stop him from mulching a few of them. He took out a Battlewagon on his own and a bunch of Orks, but also like 4 berserkers. He hits like a loving freight train when he's in combat, though. - Berserkers are really, really strong. Especially now that they fight twice immediately when they charge. I like those fellas quite a bit. Anything else and I've have been more worried about the Ork Boyz. - Meat Grinder rules were in effect, and I ended up using a few CP to get a unit back into a transport to move up the battlefield quick. This was an interesting addition to the game. - I'm also glad they clarified the Battlewagon rule on moving and shooting heavy weapons, because that was brutal when Flash Gitz were shooting out of it on T1. The Bee posted:If that's the case, you'd have to make sure literally every ability scaled up well. I could see it being pretty tricky to balance. Yeah but it's not like the bar was set very high to begin with. Mastery Levels only went to 5 anyways and most things top out at 1-2.

I mean, yeah if you want to use both armies then you'll need two books. But if you're going for Chaos with Plague Marines you should still be fine with the default book. I meant more that if you're playing Death Guard, you'd need both books.

Been working on some Shadow War terrain recently. There's a ton of detail on these, so I'm trying to put a bit more effort into them than I usually do. I'm still trying to keep the palettes relatively muted so the models pop in photos/on a quick table scan. So far, this is been fun enough that I may revisit my older, less-detailed terrain and pick out some more details on it.
