Don't worry, Planet Vostroya will be destroyed and the models will be refreshed as coming from its sister world Kysliv, where their colors are blue and gold and they maintain the same military disposition. Only now they have ice magic and bears everywhere.

Sylvaneth. Cool ghosts and big bugs and treemen add a lot to the wood elf aesthetic.

A WIP in the style of the collage, I didn't like all the shitting on the wolves so I made a Dark Wolf chaos lord sacrificing a Space Wolf to an altar of Khorne. Made using jakhals, havocs, intercessor bits, the battlefield trophies box and kill team nemesis. Also though about acquiring a Wolf Priest to get the skull wolf head since it's very kino and space barbarian pilled. I should have bought that 180 dollar space wolf battleforce I saw last year.

It took just under a day for the fucking rules lawyers to figure out a way to make the new Combat rules allow you to make it impossible to charge a unit if you zipper two units together in such a way you can't base the back unit but also can't end outside of their 2" engagement range.
>>
>>
>>97900576
No and all the people saying go for it are lying to you
1) tactical squad will probably be replaced with a primaris-sized tactical squad in 11th, I would not buy this (the last Firstborn squad) unless you're collecting firstborn in order to play something like 5th edition with your friends like a 30yo boomer.
2) the Armageddon box set is coming out soon enough/next two months. Getting that would be about 1000 points of space marines, the price is expected to be about 260~ bucks but you can split the cost with a friend who wants orks, or just sell the orks online the first week or so because people will be initially overpaying to get their hands on new ork models (don't wait too long because prices for xenos stuff will normalize as demand for SM stuff is greater)
3) Combat Patrols have taken hits recently and the Space marine generic one is kind of shit but are usually a better introduction to the hobby as it costs about 144 bucks on Ebay and 175 from GW stores (WARHAMMER STORES ARE OVERPRICED)
4) don't buy directly from GW they are overpriced. Third parties such as lgses and even amazon/ebay usually have 15-25% discounts, it's like buying toys from FAO Schwartz for 20 bucks when you can get the same toy for 10 bucks from target.

Keep an eye out for this box, currently out of stock, but is randomly restocked. You can get like 150 dollars of miniatures for 50 bucks and will save you time and money.

Just write more stuff about the Iron Hands having an established Rivalry with the Emperors Children and really really wanting to kill them all and then have them being tsundere for Salamanders and Raven Guard. The Iron Hands should actually just be really good at fighting Slaanesh, but I think their only notable lore blurb involving Slaanesh is their obsession with purging themselves of sensation or pleasure crippling their ability to fight daemonettes.

Knightfaggots.
I played (and got stomped) by a knight army the other day.
My opponent, despite being in engagement range of troops, fired his blast weapon at another target across the board. As far as I remember, you cannot fire blast weapons when in combat.
Is this some knight rules shit or did they cheat?

boyz and any models that use the boyz as a frame, so burna boyz and lootas are also included. weirdboy, warboss with attack squig, and grots are in the starter box, so they’ll likely also be gone. nobz, and nob warbikers are also likely on their way out soon because they’re really outdated, but that’s not an immediate concern. another one that’s just a feeling on my part, but the big ‘ed boss bunka is pretty unpopular, and I figure it’ll go to legends soon.

You've been knighting wrong. The exception is only for being able to shoot into your own melee. Which blocks blast weapons without a special rule.
>>
>>
>>
>>97901015
No, you need to re-read it. "Monster and vehicle units are eligible to shoot in their controlling player's shooting phase even while they are within engagement range of one or more enemy units." Full stop. You can shoot in your shooting phase even when engaged. No mention of shooting against units within engagement range, you can just shoot. And the thing about blast weapons only says you can't shoot against engaged units, nothing about shooting non-engaged units. You're straight up wrong.

I like the Grey Knight aesthetic outside of dreadknights but they're huge snowflakes and they're terrible for creating "Your Dudes" So I'd change the lore to just make it Deathwatch but for more customizable cross chapter Brotherhoods of Librarians for fighting other Psykers, Daemons and generally venturing into the Warp for shenanigans.

I don't like Space Marines when their whole thing is just "Culture in SPACE" so Space Wolves, White scars, and Ultramarines are a Squat. I don't think open minded goody two shoes fit if you're a Space Marine so I don't personally like Salamanders or Raven Guard. Salamanders ride the line better though so they can stay. If I wanted Cyborgs I'd just play the Mechanicum and Iron Hands are already less relevant than many minor chapters so they're out. I don't personally like Blood Angels because I find that Dark Angels do the "Super Shameful Secret" thing in a more interesting way even if the reason is more retarded. So I'd squat Bloodies.

>What Warhammer Fantasy army would you like to see added to 40k? Chaos Dwarves, Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven, Beastmen, or anything else?
I would say "Soon" like I usually do but there are already Necrons. To be fair, how would an actual undead themed army work in 40k? A Nurgle zombie virus like Poxwalkers? If I were to make it interesting, though unlikely to be successful, I'd make it not human undead but xenos undead composed of tons of species genocided by the Imperium or others. Something about their hate bringing them back. Or failing all that, we'll just steal from Destiny and say the Eldar are so desperate to repopulate or get more numbers that we have Scorn now.
I would also look to AoS Undead if we're doing GW properties because quite frankly, even as someone who misses Tomb Kings, I admit GW regularly mishandles so many WHFB factions that there are many AoS factions that've been done better justice. I'd be the first to not want WHFB back the way it ended just because of how downright bad lots were. Ending WHFB IMO indirectly raised WHFB's reputation because more talk is about what would've been or even praising models and units hated during their time than acknowledgement how shit things were then.And I'm 100% not a fan of both AoS rumors or what I've seen in TOW either. Feels like a zombified botched recreation comparable to 9th Age and other fangames built more on butthurt and hate for AoS than love for WHFB,

>Fix the lore of one
Marines get fixed by undoing primarishit.
>Fix the rules of one
Sisters get fixed so flamers, bolters of all varieties etc. are actually useful and fun so the nuns with guns army get to actually be a nuns with guns army instead of a discount melee army. Also proper character and wargear rules are added while the dependency on having to run special characters is removed.
>Fix the models of one
All guard regiments that used to have models get 100% faithful plastic releases. Also the new sentinel gets reverted to the previous non-rounded design and the rogal dorn is removed while the macharius gets plastic.

Look up what Gangreen is.
Summary is: You need Vitamin C or your collagen that replaces skin tissue for scars begins to break down.
Good enough vitamin C will start making all scars skin colored. That's a first sign. I had a knee scrape that wouldn't stop making calice until I started up a decent Vitamin C regimen. My pink scars started turning skin colored again.

NTA but there's not much in necromancers making an army of their enemies in 40k. That said, I don't know how that'd mechanically work. It would at best be souping existing armies or a fleshy verson of Ork looting. It also wouldn't make sense for Necrons or Daemons to have zombie versions. It's a hard sell niche that'd be impractical.

Yes they do get books. You just don't read them. Because they are boring.
>Point is Guilliman is pragmatic, disillusioned with the Imperial faith/creed
Like most named characters in 40k. In fact believing in the standard imperial creed is the mark of a npc in 40k.
>AND in an immense position of power to do stuff about it
No he isn't!
1. Why would GW make a character that is actually able to FIX the imperium who's main trait is that it IS BROKEN and FAILING
2. If they did for some reason make such a gary stu setting-suicider why would they actually use him for the intended purpose?!
3. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT THAT?!
This is end times tier logic.
He's not fixing the imperium. He's gonna bitch, fight some named characters and that's it. That's all he can do.
>Bile, Cawl and Trazyn are comparable, although are nulore that came at the same time/after Guilliman was reintroduced
He blends in to the universe at large. His personality is indistinguishable from the three characters you have just mentioned
> turning Guilliman into yet another rabid power mad dictator would be boring as bat shit
We rarely have any power mad dictators in 40k! (ironically)

I don't understand the point of this rant when the Norwegians were specifically given Normandy to stop them from continuing to raid France, and later both the Danes, Norwegians and Normans all gangbanged England. There were multiple norse invader kingdoms like the Kingdom of the Isles or the Kingdom of Dublin and the first and only emperor of Ireland, Brain Bored, died trying to remove them from Ireland. The Norse likewise founded the Rurikid dynasty that became the early royalty of the hohols and ziggers and likewise the Normans later took over sicily and invaded byzantium. They even found ways to get to the caspain sea and raid Persia.
In fact the entire post is strange, we have an entire record of norse colonies and invasions as far west as Newfoundland and as far south as Baghdad.

GW should make a side 40k game based on 3-4th edition rules that allows you to use current models in it. Like port the profiles backwards, and just have them use the base 3-4th edition rules. They could sell it as their narrative/rpg hybrid game. Then tourney fags would be happy playing 11th and those of us who want SOVL could play the sidegame. No Horus Heresy is not that game.
>>
>>
>>97902010
The only problem, as we've seen with TOW, is that GW will still want to change it up enough that it's kinda borked and doesn't entirely resemble whatever older edition they're trying to emulate. Otherwise I'm entirely with you, I'd love if there was a "retro edition" and everything new they released came with a suitable stat block to slot into it.

I play TOW extensively and am quite happy with it. Other than the magic system being shrimplified the rest really does a great job emulating and even building upon older editions.
I would kill for something like TOW for 40k. I feel like all GW would need to do would be to provide a secondary dataslate for this alternative editions stat profiles. I think a lot of grogs like myself wouldn't even care if they didn't balance it well, because as we've seen with TOW, grog communities can and do comp/police themselves. GW said a bunch of armies are Legends equivalents. The rest of the community has collectively decided to ignore that and they are included in the game and allowed at all tourneys that aren't run at Warhammer World regardless.
It wouldn't even be that much effort. Just introducing two profiles per new release instead of 1. Don't even rework the 4th edition core rules, just port units to that ruleset. Easy.

While there are a number of things I like about those editions more than current editions, I still remember the things everyone complained about at the time too. It's kinda like with WoW Classic. I would never play it despite having strong nostalgia for that period of WoW originally because I remember all the annoying things and knowing those things will never be fixed and there's no future improvements to look forward to because being stuck in that period is the point just makes it more annoying.

How much do Orks enjoy fighting you:

>A-Tier: Imperial Guard, Grey Knights, Imperial Knights, Chaos Knights, Tyranids, other Orks, Chaos Daemons, Votann

>>97902276
Orks most enjoy fighting big strong things in melee, with a prefight gun battle involving lots of explosions and loud bangs. Space Marines give them all of that. Eldar play keepaway a lot (also Tau) and use shitty psychic powers Orks don't care about, Dark Eldar do everything they can to avoid a stand-up fight, Genestealer Cults are all about ambushes and escapes, and Imperial Agents also like psychic powers, snipers, and avoiding direct fights.

Got a game in last night with my CSM (and a chaos knight) vs a friend's Black Templars. Not gonna post too many photos as the table was gross L-shaped ruins hell; the LGS was fucking packed that night and we were lucky to get as much terrain as we got - all the cool stuff was taken by people who got there earlier. I ended up winning pretty decisively, mostly thanks to the knight desecrator basically deleting a vehicle or dreadnought a turn and frankly retarded dice luck on my part. I think I failed a single dark pact roll across the entire game and I ALWAYS pact when I activate a unit. Anyway, here's my list, minus a helbrute I forgot to bring.

Anyway, after that game I think I'm gonna leave the knight at home going forward unless my opponent also brings one. It might just be my luck that game or just the Desecrator itself but I kicked the poor guy's feet out from under him by blasting his only anti tank off the table on turn one from a range he couldn't even interact with and that's not exactly fun for either of us. The back and forth in melee combat however was a fucking blast - my possessed managed to just barely survive a charge from Grimaldus and a 20 man blob of marines and neophytes (I think sword brethren? I dunno Templars too well), swung back in kind, and then fell back next turn to pave the way for my own 10 man melee legionaries squad with a dark apostle to come in and clean house. The apostle is my new favorite HQ for CSM - guy's a massive force multiplier.

I wanted to like it but it just bounced off me for some reason. Like the dark crusade map is extremely simple compared to total war or something but it feels just right for adding a bit of non-linear spice to a dawn of war campaign. It's been the a long time since I played it but my memory of the soulstorm one is that it just kind of added more for more's sake and it didn't click with me.

The rules themselves are relatively reasonable restrictions for smaller games, and smaller games are based in general.
The formatting, however, is clearly the product of retardation, at least in so far as using image editing software goes.
Hence, based rules written by a based retard.

What's going to be the next faction they add in 11th edition? Only one I can think of is Dark Mechanicus. I'd say Exodites but they'll likely be an option as a playable faction for Aeldari like they did with Harlequins.

Darkmech is not going to be an independent faction either, just a wave of models for chaos marines.
The only candidates for completely separate books are exodites (if gw is dumb and doesn't give them just 3 things in craftworlds), grot revolutionaries, zoats (even though they could be an add-on to genecults), or glup shittos like slannis or hruds.
>>
>>97902673
The three most likely imo are traitor guard/lost and the damned, exodites, and dark mechanicus. There's always the chance they pull something completely out of left field but those three either already have some models in the game or used to exist at some point prior.

You guys complain about everything but I haven't seen you mention this at all, which strikes me as weird. This is literally one of the worst primarchs to bring back as it just strips them of all the cool shit they're about and makes them bland. Not an interesting guy to have go head to head with Gulliman either in his changed more reasonable state.
Only Sanguinius returning would have been a worse pick.

GW put so little effort into the lore around bringing him back that it's hard to muster the energy to be mad about it. You remember how Bobby G had a whole thing tying him in with the Ynnari and Admech to the explanation of him coming back? It wasn't good but at least there was effort.
Lion just came back without explanation. There's a whole novel about him coming back that also gives no explanation. He's just back now. Warp magic or something. Buy the product and stop asking questions.
I forget he's even back more often than not.

He doesn't do that. He doesn't really espouse anything. The chapter is still tracking down and torturing Fallen just like they've always done. He hasn't condemned it or asked them to change their methods in any way. Even the recruitment of Fallen as Inner Circle Companions isn't openly acknowledged. He similarly doesn't explain squat to the Imperium, he simply ignores it and leaves it to react as it may, the complete opposite of being open.

Problem is the book was pretty good, so people gave it a pass and then since there has been barely any content since, they didn't think about the implications of the manner of his return. They could have had him return and double down on the CIA shit, using his immense influence to create shadow governments in the ministorum and false flag in conflicts and exterminations, killing their own just to move in after to take over, leading to Guilliman finding out about his brother's extreme measures, but having to begrudgingly cover for him since they are both working towards the same goal of creating the secular imperium envisioned by their father and removing the theocracy, just using different methods. Maybe even bringing back some new terrible secret from the warp that they have to keep, or the Lion returning and employing the artifacts in their vaults that only he knew about like mass hypnosis shit or borderline daemonic stuff but that he'll use to "save" the imperium.
Now it's like...even if they write new books about him, he'll just be a bit more grumpy than Guilliman and a bit quicker to act and murder than he would, but it's not enough or grimdark enough imo.

Being embodiments of the emperor's dark and terrible mysterious side is a good shtick. They're the ultra utilitarian dudes who will do whatever it takes to reach their goal and are the "I've seen some shit"-guys who keep dark artifacts who are like Denethor and have stared into the palantir for too long and will only use them in their utmost desperation. That combined with templar aesthetic who irl are also shrouded in mystery is just peak I'm afraid
The thing that's lame about them is that beyond the secrecy shit they just borrow from every other chapter and go "uh actually we were first and we have everything you have just as good" with all their military wings. Really worse than ultramarines "decent at everything" in that respect, as they just have to be really good at everything instead.

GW succeeds as an econsystem. Lower popularity factions achieve two major business goals: give the 90% of the player base that plays marine slop something to run their marines against, and conquering the total model market by appealing to smaller niches instead of letting other games cover those niches that they fail too. Even if 1% of GW customers are kroot enjoyers, its 100% still worth it for them to produce kroot kits and keep them as a customer. Additionally, many people buy multiple armies. By having diverse offerings they increase the chance one of those niche ideas will keep a customer buying after they "finish" their marine army. And someone with 2k-3k points of a marine army is likely to buy A LOT for their second army.
Anyone who thinks a less popular faction "failed" is genuine both a retard when it comes to business practices of large companies and retarded to not understand that something being niche does not equal bad.
Failure would mean they have a major oversurplus of kits they cant sell, and probably the best example (speculated) we have of that is Tzangoors because they get shoved in every fucking box they can possibly shove them into because they could not move them otherwise.
Votann, Harlequins, etc sell

Adding to this I see them as the old and decrepit chapter that's slow at organizing with really bad recruitment rates and industrial capacity because of closed communication with humans and very slow to act, slowed down by all the hierarchy and secrecy and hesistancy. But then sitting on more knowledge and macguffins than any other chapter and so they should have the fluff of great psykers and tacticians and a special weapon or two, all three derived from 'look at the secret texts bro' rather than drawing it from a vital, open and well oraganized org like ultramarines who get good from trial and error in the now, where as DAs just barely hold on by utilizing their old shit is how I like to think of it.
In this respect, having the Lion come back as an old man is perfect thematically for the chapter, it's basically what they are and I'd like to see lean into more. But in execution they're mostly just mary sues who do everything. And being the macguffin guys do make them push one of worse story trappings 40k use, which is the macguffin overuse in hopeless situation, but it's their whole thing so it's cool when they do it unironically.

It makes complete sense as they are both linked.
This kind of hypocrisy has existed for a long time and there are examples in History.
If you tell teenagers that alcohol is bad a good portion of them is gonna drink for the sake of doing what's forbidden. Now imagine if the person telling you not to drink alcohol is a massive fucking hypocrite, that's gonna make people look into alcohol even more, regardless of how good/bad it actually is.
The logic of "puritans" are twofolds:
1) advertisement/brand: you don't want your brand to be associated with icky things
2) you think you're holier than thou and shame/chastise others to feel better about yourself.
That's also why allegations of sexual misconduct are so effective at destroying lives, because a lot of people will jump at the idea of shitting on others for being deviants to project their own frustrations/lacking.
>If I punish the "sinner", I will absolve my own sins.

Nemesis Claw might have sold well because for a long time it was the only way to get the NL upgrade sprue.
Shadow Hunt because it's got the new Raptors and Sisters models and so far is the only way to get them.
I don't know about the CP box; I'm surprised it even sold out, at least in my area. I suppose it's cheaper than buying Nemsis Claw model for model? Are chosen that popular?

Xeno propaganda. On surface level, quality-of-life does improve for the average human, but the humans are not included in their caste system. Humans will always be at the bottom, even moreso than the abhuman allies the Tau enlist as mercenaries. If it was up the Tau, humans would be a slave workforce with a token "freedom" that they provide and control.
The only difference is humanity would be trading its Emperor for a xeno slave master.
