Artum posted:I'd definitely be behind the modern dark angels being literally all descendants of luthers men with the fallen being those of them who weren't sorry, that'd at least fit with them going to such extremes to cover up what happened. The way I’ve read it is that the Lion basically tried to play his cards close to his chest until he could figure out who was going to win the Heresy- his loyalty was more to his legion and their survival than either side of the war. He then got confronted by Luther and the calibanites when he came back from Terra and they were pissed that a huge portion of the legion was available to fight for pretty much the entire war and wasn’t called to action. Civil war ensues, both Luther and the Lion end up knocked out, and the winning side (Lions men) clean things up as best they can while settling in for thousands of years of whispers from the watchers in the dark (likely daemons) and building pseudo-daemon weapons from great beasts (also likely daemons).

One_Wing posted:I am open mouthed at how preposterously broken that strategem is. I legitimately thought “no countering strategems” was a deliberate design choice they were making. The number of potentially uses is drat near infinite, and it will say “3CP - win the game” far too often. Even shutting off a command re-roll will often be clutch - imagine turning off a reroll for Guilleman or Celestine’s res? Or more hilariously, opponent planning on using insane bravery to keep that blob of 20 Necron warriors you whittles down to 5 in the game? All aboard the nope train. This post made me preorder the deldar codex and buy the old start collecting box.

One_Wing posted:It is only fair of me to say that others in the thread are less convinced that it’s busted compared to me, but you do you - I’m certainly going to buy a copy of the book just to see what I can pull off with allied detachments, especially if Dark Reapers do get a nerf and leave a hole in my faction. I don’t think the stratagem is busted at all, but your histrionics were so delightful it prompted me to spend money.

Booley posted:Its about 60/40. Depending on who's playing they have some decent players (the main guy won heat 1 of the london GT iirc), but they do usually make concessions to having fun lists rather than being super competitive. Their preview games like this one do want to try to show off new units/strategems, but they don't go out of their way to use them if it would lose them the game. Sell your collection and buy a DE army, they’re the only playable faction now.

I have very little experience actually playing Warhammer, so I don't expect to be very good. I just want to push my plastic army men around a table and roll some dice, winning is secondary. What I don't want is to have a list that isn't any fun to play against or is cheesy. Have you considered playing dark eldar.

Pendent posted:I actually went back to look at your post history in this thread for some reason and you have plenty of perfectly reasonable posts. It's just the super inflammatory stuff that derails the thread for days at a time that's getting really old. AoS is still understandably a really hard topic for a lot of old fantasy players and what you view as just joking around is really just reopening old wounds for people. Likewise you've posted some pretty weird poo poo generally related to third party models that has not been taken particularly well. Lmao he has 17 pages of posts in this thread and started posting Jan 17th 2018. 17 pages of posts in 107 days. Here are some of his great contributions to the chat: Neurolimal posted:As much a reputation as 4chan rightly has, tradgames has a surprisingly large community of not-idiots. It also has 14 year olds and its own share of weirds but that comes with the territory of being a free anonymous forum on the same site as alt nazis and memelords. Neurolimal posted:Apologies for interrupting actual game chat, but I was curious where Tau story/lore currently is? Last time I checked during the GW Dark Age they seemed obsessed with giving them really sloppy pointless grimdark aspects, which alienated me from them. Neurolimal posted:I think it would make for a neat story where some radical chaos eldar are trying to warn Nurgle that Isha is telling her followers cure for diseases behind his back, and it turning out that he already knows and is part of the reason he loves her; he's not the god of mindless destruction moreso than stagnation, and it wouldn't be any fun for him if any of his diseases managed to kill everyone for good. On the "two sides of the same coin" note, perhaps Isha could even have stockholm for Nurgle, having seen him create endlessly elaborate parasitic 'life'. Neurolimal posted:There do exist people who get really weird about any boobplate/breasts/nudity at all, who kind of missed the point on why people complained about that stuff in the first place. Neurolimal posted:Sorry if I insulted an army you like? I never knew anything about GK before Ward started focusing on them, and I'm sure that was the case for plenty of people. No need to get angry about someone reading an accessible wiki to catch up on stuff they've missed. Neurolimal posted:Is my brain just making up the concept that GK are rumored to be heavily comprised of librarians from traitor chapters that refused to defect/traitor geneseed that resisted corruption? If not then that would be neat for them to lean into; units of basically more-prestigious Blackshields that are survival-of-the-fittest'd into their chaos resistance. You could even reverse the "super immunity marines" concept and have them specialized in converting traitors (plenty of book material for a grey knight and a chaos librarian trying to convert each other) with their force of will and faith (...and their ability to relate to each other via shared traitor chapter history, plot twist!) Neurolimal posted:It's an interesting idea, no reason to froth over it being written down on a wiki you dont like. He wouldn't be the first Custodes to be operating outside the group, he and his chapter are Terra-based, and the spear is a pretty decent jumping point even if it's not 100% concrete. Neurolimal posted:Yeah, Custodes were explicitly supposed to be post-crusade Primarchs, being exemplars of scholastic and artistic pursuits that aren't created by stealing warp power and shooting it into babies. After the crusade the primarchs were to 'retire'. Neurolimal posted:At least fluffwise Space Wolves are pretty clearly the closest legion on the loyalist side to being Bad Guys in 30k Neurolimal posted:Yeah that's why I edited that out. For whatever reason I assumed they had faction splits into Aeldari, Drukhari, and Harlequin. Neurolimal posted:Ah, I'm not as up-to-date on Necron lore so I thought the lords were only the start of them regaining sentience. Still amusing though. Like a fantasy skeleton empire that rides into battle on wagons made of other living skeleton warriors. Neurolimal posted:Ah drat, me and my scrub-tier lore knowledge. Neurolimal posted:I actually enjoy arguing, stepped away because things broke down to spear memes and yelling retard Neurolimal posted:I admittedly have pretty limited knowledge of all of GW's specialist games, but if those are 1st party mini's I'd guess Epic conversions from the troop square bases. Neurolimal posted:By the way, since Blood Angels have shown up a number of times here I figured this would be worth sharing: Neurolimal posted:It's pre-heresy thousand sons, as every member held within themselves the power tKANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Neurolimal posted:I can only assume that this avat means I've leveled up into True Warham, thank you Neurolimal posted:I assume we're talking about the Black Widow model? Its chest isn't particularly egregious (certainly not as bad as their lychguard chests), Neurolimal posted:Do we even know what necrons looked like pre-enslavement? Considering the majority of non-swarm races in 40k have two genders it seems reasonable to assume necrons were the same. Neurolimal posted:Idgaf what anyone thinks of me, I like arguing and I think the average TG "hyperventilate about any and all sex characteristics" is dumb. There's certainly a problem in nerd communities WRT female representation, but I dont think "deranged immortal robot pharoahs that replace their bodies with impractical poo poo on a whim" is the place to draw the line.

Uroboros posted:Sadly codex Marines are in a real rough spot. You really got to pull out all the stops to have a chance against a standard Dark Eldar list. I find it kind of annoying because there is such a disparity in power in each codex that it’s really hard to have a just fun dice rolling game. This has always been the case for 40k, it’s just the first time in 30 years that space marines happen to be on the short end of the stick.

One_Wing posted:My blow by blow from playing him in the last round is a few pages back, but the TLDR is that while I still don’t think he was deliberately cheating, he played incredibly sloppily and incredibly quickly in a way that almost certainly net advantaged him, because he didn’t have the level of familiarity needed with either common metagame armies or his own drat list to make it possible to play that fast without missing things. On several occasions I had to say “wait stop” because i’d seen him scoop up and roll for a wound with a dice that should have been a miss because of a modifier, and to give you an idea of how fast he was going on one occasion he was already on to the re-rolls for wounds by the time I got that out. He was also using the ultramarine dice, which are a total bastard to speed read between 4 and 6 if you aren’t familiar with them, which was hugely relevant because he was often hitting me on 5s. Generally speaking most cheats come off looking like sloppy play- it’s plausible deniability if the cheater gets called out by a particular opponent. It’s definitely taught as a warning sign to identifying potential cheaters in things like tournament MtG. A common way to run the cheats in a tourney is to play fast and sloppy but “coincidentally” have the mistakes work out to your benefit, and then if your opponent calls a judge, play dumb and try to talk formal warnings down to informal cautions so your record of judge calls on you isn’t fully recorded.

mango sentinel posted:Is 14 dragoons in an army that expensive? That's like $700 for half a 2000pt force which I guess is getting up there but doesn't sound absurd. How much do y'all's armies cost in comparison? I just finished buying 2k of dark eldar so I can play this accursed edition of the game and all in it ended up being about 600 dollars. I got a lot of mileage out of both versions of the start collecting box but I also got extra venoms and a ravager squadron.

I'm not a fan of the fact that Hawkshroud is the obvious powergamer choice- at least so far- and I'm really not a fan of painting all that yellow. I feel like I might be able to get away with doing mostly black yellow trim which could be pretty fun to paint. I have a knight painted in ohrlacc colors, it was a lot of fun to do. Paint your knight in the colors of the House of Weird Albino Mushroom People.

JBP posted:This whole thing just makes me think of the King Cobra golf club they priced at $1200 just to test whether you could charge that for a golf club. Turns out you could. $300 strikes me as one of the lower bars to entry for a GW game- one of the highest value boxes up until now was Calth, which was ~1k points of HH for about $125 after discounts. This one will be ~$250ish after FLG markdowns and get you probably the equivalent of a 2k army, but also enough terrain to make a battlefield and all the rules and accessories you need to play. It would have been nice to have a lower price point “start collecting” box with no rulebook, less models and no terrain to ramp into an army, but the value represented in the grand master box seems pretty good all things considered.

A 40k army is generally about $500 to get to 2k-ish points and that’s using lots of start collecting boxes and not accounting for rules or terrain.
