The thing with AoS faction terrain is that they're essentially a free addition to your army, so other than the real world cost of the model there's no reason to not take it. If they cost points or used detachment slots they'd be a bit harder to justify.

I was digging through my old 40k books to get some ideas and inspiration for what I wanted to do with my Indomitus Marines. Turns out I have an 8th ed. rulebook I don't remember buying. Huh. Also, 2nd ed. codexes are amazing to look thought now.

Thats true actually, so if 2021 is the year of Xenos and Chaos, it means it's only Grey Knights and Astra Militarum who miss out, my two biggest and oldest armies. I suspect though they will want to get out updates to the imperial and chaos weapons ASAP, so I am cautiously optimistic that Grey Knights and AAstra Militarum will be early next year. It's either that or Chapter Approved this year is going to be a big change for a lot of armies.

I think they will make 1or 2 books a month with models until they have covered them all. And then introduce something completely new. The problem is design space since they can make different design for each faction but they can't make them play so different from each other. It's all variation of the same themes with different names and slightly different profiles. Shooty, melee, psychic . Fusion, melta , haywire, lasgun, bolter, big shoota ect. All stats and you pick the one that suits that army's playstyle the best. What I mean is I can make shooty orcs, vehicle orcs or melee orcs. I can make shooty Marines, melee Marines and vehicle Marines. It is all supposed to be balanced in terms of gameplay. I could introduce squats and give them primaries stats and have them follow white scars rules with different names and they would play like crazy tough dorfs on trikes but it is not "different".

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/09/14/codex-space-marines-weapons-and-wargear-updates/ Loads of updates on weapons, the bit that surprised me the most is they confirmed that everyone will be getting the updates in October, including Xenos races that have flamers and meltaguns etc. Most of the changes are already known thanks to leaks (e.g. D2 heavy bolters, 2 shot multi-meltas, 12" flamers) the one I was shocked to see is that Hunter-Killer missiles are now S10, so it looks like putting them on my Cadian Sentinels all those years ago has finally paid off.

Maneck posted:Surprising in a great way. For sure, turns out I picked a good time to start a Chaos Army. Or a bad time. I did the same with Grey Knights, I got back into 40K and decided to expand my grey knights because they were considered bad and if I played them against friends it's not too bad. Then they got PA and became ace. So they become my army for use in the league I signed up to. Then I got a chaos army just to have a fluffy army to play against my girlfriend with, now Chaos are getting buff. The only guys who have stayed bad is my Cadians. Poor guys.

Speaking of space wolves, I just saw that not only is the Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought sold out online, but all the Space wolf dreadnought kits are sold out too. Not "temporarily out of stock" but sold out. EDIT: Blood Angels Tactical Squad also Sold Out. Kitchner fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Sep 14, 2020 |

Gaussian posted:So how much do these new weapon changes effect Sisters? It seems like Retributors are going to benefit a lot. Well hand flamers are going to be 12" range but S3, which means that the seraphim with handflamers can actually deep strike and fire now. The melta rules help sisters a lot too, being able to shoot twice with a multimelta and do 14 damage with two miracle dice is crazy. Revelation 2-13 posted:Stormshield change is so great. I’m not sure I want them to change other faction 3++ though, if that’s something which is planned. They’re kinda necessary in some cases. Sort of mixed feelings, I'm sure the storm shield will change for everyone because it's in the article, but how many non-power armour models have a storm shield? Crusaders? Pretty much everyone is a Space Marine or a Chaos Space Marine in power armour

Buy 2 boxes of rets and make one mm and the other one bolter and they will kick rear end. Even immolators with that loadout will be so much better now. Just having access to D2 damage not in the form of blessed bolts will help so much.

Slab Squatthrust posted:I mean, I get that people are shocked by the amount of new Marine stuff. But the Necron release is also huge, and everything we've seen is excellent! If we roll through next year and don't see anything else for xenos, then maybe complaining about the lack of them in 9th will be reasonable, but for the love of everything it would be great for this thread to be the one place on the internet not screaming about how GW hates xenos players, while conveniently ignoring a massive xenos drop of both models and what looks like some excellent rules from what we've seen. The Xenos drops would have to be massive to even match the amount of Primaris stuff considering there's practically 1-for-1 Primaris release to any given other faction release. I don't think "drat there's a lot of Primaris stuff and Xenos keep getting trickles" is an unfair complaint. I'm not asking for massive Xenos drops though really as my main squeeze is Sisters and they just got a redo. More thinking about how Primaris constantly gets potential army soft spots filled by scads of new options every month. Hard to not look sideways at them when you can think of multiple useful tools you'd like in your faction and Primaris keeps getting fixes for problems they never had.

In other news, does anyone have a recommendation for where I can buy accessories that are like scrolls and books and stuff to stick on my word bearers? Been trying to buy only GW bits in case I ever actually go to warhammer world again but it's frustrating buying flagellant and plague monk bits and bobs. Basically anything like scrolls and pouches and purity seal type things that aren't marked with aquilllas or whatever.

Yeah, we'll likely see a lot of kits suddenly go out of stock as they rebox them with the new designs/datasheets. I wouldn't worry about it too hard, they've gotten good at announcing when they're discontinuing stuff, or at least you'll hear about it quick when they shunt something into Last Chance to Buy.

I don't think "drat there's a lot of Primaris stuff and Xenos keep getting trickles" is an unfair complaint. Yeah, part of the problem is that GW treats "Xenos" as a faction. GSC getting fleshed out doesn't really benefit Orks, Necrons, etc. When releases are SM>Chaos>Imperium>Xenos, that's an awful small slice for monofaction armies.

Lasting Damage posted:Ork Skorchas and burnas felt like a pointed omission in that article. Gives me a bad feeling about it. I think they're only updating the things that share gear names with the gear in the codexes as they're published. So, meltas get the upgrade, and then anything called a "melta" gets the upgrade as well. But anything that's a flame weapon but uses its own name for it has to wait for that faction's codex. Tau get the flamer upgrade because unlike most xenos, and unlike the other things on their wargear list, their flamer is actually called a "flamer" and not, I dunno, an "incindiary projector" or whatever it might have been called if the people doing the tau codexes hadn't randomly decided that their flamer is just a flamer and doesn't get its own xenotech name. Burna Boyz don't get "flamers," they get "burnas," so they're out of luck until their codex hits. GW seems committed to the general idea that any piece of gear with the same name has the same stats across the whole game, hence Space Marine chainswords getting renamed from "Chainsword" to "Astartes chainsword," to accompany their stat buff.
