Just built a HSS last night with the TSons Mk IV heads and Mk VI pads, I love ‘em

giy online is saying that he played a 3k game against a BA player that:

>has 2 lascannon HSS, at least one was 10 man
>THREE BA special contemptors
>deep struck everything turn 1 (how???)
>daisy chained his deep strike across the board from deployment to deployment (how???)
>the other player was relatively new so the BA player was being a dick against him

the BA player was definitely cheating right?

The heads are great if you trim the ears. The new shoulder pads suck, but only because they lack trim. The old FW torsos, shoulder pads, and heads were all great.

I'm also in that conversation. The guy ignored the turn 2-4 restriction on Day of Revelation and interpreted the "within 12 inches of the first unit" requirement for DSA as "within 12 inches of the previous unit". He was either ignorant of the rules or outright cheating.

The Mk4 shoulders for Tsons with the molded sun icon looks way off compared to regular mark 4 shoulders, The trim on the Mk4 tsons shoulders is WAY thicker then the trim on the Mk4 plastic marines shoulders so they look way off next to each other.

The mk 6 shoulders? Eh, im indifferent to them.

The other thing is i dont like molded shoulders when ti comes to tac squads because it makes weathering look weird to me,

>>93135698
For easy black armor (drybrush + speedpaint) I'd suggest taking a look at Juan Hidalgo's tutorial (just add some metallic chipping, or perhaps add a metallic zenithal between his drybrushing stage and his speedpaint stage):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUM1ShfnrD0

If you're interested in something more complex, Cult of Paint has some really striking guides for Iron Hands armor, with hints of metallic purple and green:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo3v6pryfmw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k0WqI_YdIs

Their guides are airbrush heavy, but you could achieve something 50-75% similar imo with a colored metallic paint (zenithals & reverse zenithal) using a rattlecan.

I have the kit, unfortunately they do not. The heads are a lot smaller and very slender, so maybe you can stick them on your Solar Auxilia instead.

Would really recommend the delaque upgrade sprue for heads, they are a bit small but in my opinion they fit very well.
Though you need to sculpt the neck piece yourself.

Alpha Legion. They're good. Headhunters kit is good, would like a new one tho to go with the bigger kits. Lernean kit is nice, unlike some of their rules. The heads and shoulder kits are fine.

spartans need to be like 75 points lower
>>
>>93138280
If you started with the age of darkness box? The termies and spartan are a MASSIVE points sink that are hardly worth the trouble in most lists below 4k (which is an absurd points value to play games at), especially considering that you'll need to buy additional power weapons if you don't want to overprice them even further by giving all your termies lightning claws or power fists. They will singlehandedly remove room from your list to actually include cool shit.

>>93138306
Because I feel like I don't have enough room in my planned list to actually include any specific tsons units...and all those specific units are fucking RESIN KITS. Like >>93138301 said the fuckin spartan and normal cataphractii termies take up so much room. I'm forced to run PotL to accommodate them because otherwise I won't have enough line units at 3k when I eventually get there. Not to mentioned that the rules don't actually reflect what the tsons are lorewise.

And worst of all? They barely participated in the HH. I should have started with an istvaan legion instead. I feel like a failure for going out and buying all these 40k tsons kits as conversion material

Just... use those... lol. Also who gives a shit if Magnus didn't do shit during the Heresy, YOUR DUDES might have! Also I personally wouldn't stop you from using the scarab occult terminators as sehkmet for example, or cutting off their crests and putting them on the cataphractii from the AOD box. If the spartan is that big an issue, just sell it

I would stop myself because all sehkmet are cataphractii ruleswise and the 40k kit is tartaros. I don't know how to cut off their crests...I can't give my tac sergeants any nice equipment, and sehkmet would only make it worse because I'd have to run TEN OF THEM to fit in the spartan

>and sehkmet would only make it worse because I'd have to run TEN OF THEM to fit in the spartan
Or you could sell the spartan and replace it with a land raider proteus and run 5 of them with an HQ... OR run the Guard of the Crimson king ROW and deepstrike them in at a full 10 man unit
>I can't give my tac sergeants any nice equipment,

>>93138339
>Because I feel like I don't have enough room in my planned list to actually include any specific tsons units
Honestly you dont need to, most of the Tsons specific units are MEH at best.
>Sehkmet
Kinda over priced for what they do, You gotta spend like 350 points just get them a power and a TH, with no real bosnus beyond that.
>Blade cult
Super meh, they are great at chopping up SV3, but so is everything.
>Special snipers
WAAAAAAAAY over cost
>Osrion
Actually not that bad, pretty decent, the blade is a weird weapon because every time you look at it you are left wondering, Who the fuck is this meant to be for? S11? But overall not bad.
>Numberoligists
Probably the best Tsons unit, makes rapiers and HSS SUPER fucking scary.
>Inductii
Ok dont sleep on these ones, they are actually good, you run Guard of the crimson king, and deep stirke these guys, and then shoot with breaching bolters, its a lot of shot, and it can blink away at things pretty easily.
>Magnus
LOL, LMAO, LMAFO, just dont.
>>
>>93138380
>or rather, what do you want your list to be themed around

Not being shit. But the termies really force me to take PotL. So I made a sample list...3 squads of 20 tacticals (because I've heard that taking less than 60 tacticals at 3k makes you a fag, plus it's cheaper $$$ wise than buying rhinos), a lascannon HS squad, 3 apothecaries for each tactical squad, a ten man cataphactii squad in a spartan, a five man tartaros squad in a land raider, a contemptor dread with a lascannon, an osiron with a multi melta and minor arcana, and a praetor with a paragon blade and a command squad (because the standard gives the squad Line)
>>
>>93138411
>Like I said earlier when asked, Power fist, Bolter, Artificer Armor
he doesnt have points lmao. also aa + melee weapon is retarded, you tank hits on your artificer armor so all those points you spent on the fist get wasted when he dies from tanking, stupid af. aa should only be taken if you arent running any other upgrades

>>93138423
>Not being shit
anon, i hate to break it to you, but Tsons are probably the worst legion in the game right now, they went from being insanely broken, to insanely broken but not in the good way.
>>93138437
He is WAY over cost, cant shit out powers like he used to be able to, and since all the powers in the game save for telepathy kinda suck, its actually more deadly to use your pistol then it is a power. Let that sink in, the guy whos entire fucking thing is casting powers, is more deadly with his pistol then casting a fire ball.

He is just way to expensive as well, he is 520 points, the second most expensive primarch but he in no way performs as one. Shit he cant even take Sehkmet as a retinue option ffs.
He is kinda crappy in melee, kinda crappy at being a wizard, and comes with a shit warlord trait.

to be fair he was the most useless and retarded primarch so it fits

>>93138457
Biomancy would be fine if you could cast it in combat, and it lasted a full turn, but GW said no fuck you, so the only time you EVER get biomancy, is on your turn, on the charge, so way to small of a chance to actually happen to be worth it.
>o be fair he was the most useless and retarded primarch so it fits

>>93138423
Cut out the spartan and the land raider transports. Thousand sons do not require transports this edition: just take pavoni arcana and even cataphractii will be zooming across the table. Use those points to get some cool shit on your tactical sergeants, maybe some jetbikes, upgrade those tartaros dudes to sehkmet (just say they're sehkmet bro, no one cares if they're tartaros). Run guard of the crimson king and give your tactical squads BREACHING BOLTERS. DEEP STRIKE EM IN

Oh he is a bitching center piece i love mine he came out great, but i have used him like 2 times and never again, a SPartan with out anything in it would have been a better take then him.
>>
>>93138423
okay right, that list is complete shit

firstly, 3 squads of tacs with apothecaries is always a good call, they dont have to be 20 men, 10 men+a rhino can go a long way

take guard of the crimson king, they make sehkmet troops
upgrade sehkmet to have the psyker, its worth the 25pts as biomancy gives a flat +1S to the squad with no risk (give them achaean axes for S8)

take khentai in landraiders, its an assault transport+cant go wrong with a land raider (just dont attach anyone to them as it fucks up their power)

psyker praetor with a command squad is also okay, you're gonna need to take a psyker praetor due to the RoW

>upgrade sehkmet to have the psyker, its worth the 25pts as biomancy gives a flat +1S to the squad with no risk (give them achaean axes for S8)
Post FAQ this is not a viable strat anymore, the reason being is you ca nno longer cast the Biomancy buff during over watch or return fire, so the only time you get it is on your turn, and if you make the charge to hopefully make your axes S8.
Im gonna be honest your better off running a Preator with a Command Retinue all using TH, and then taking a medicae.
>take khentai in landraiders
Not a terrible idea, problem is though at the end of the day your still swinging power swords, so you are gonna be great at killing Sv3....so like...everything else anyway in melee
>>93138497

what about a 10 man aether fire plasma cannon HSS?

no gets got, S8 with achaen force, rending 6+
only risk is the psychic check

can easily kill blobs of terminators, and has anti tank potential too due to good S and rending

No las canons are still miles better. DESU the worst thing about plasma is not how underwhelming it is, its how fucking long it takes to sort out that shooting alone. Enjoy scattering 10 fucking templates.

Which side note im of the opinion that small blast weapons should not scatter, only small blast barage should.
>no gets got, S8 with achaen force, rending 6+

Because of this its not worth it. you can do what you like, but im telling you from personal experience, the aetherfire plasma is a meh upgrade at best. side great if anything.

>yeah but you wont look like a WAACfag
Thats why i said you do what you like but im just letting you know how underwhelming the aether fire is.
There is being a WAACfag and just not running bad things. Plasma canons are just not good, the Tsons ones espeically, because your entire ploy is based on how well you roll 6s which, again, your trying to roll a 6 to ID a T4 model on an invuln, vs, just forcing a ID Invuln save with a las canon.
>>93138563
>Which makes them fucking worthless,
That and sehkmet just kinda suck, you get more mileage with regular old terminators with hammers. Sure you dont get WS5 which i dont deny is a big fucking deal, but honestly i would just take more bodies at that point.
>>
Oh also Tsons anon, dont, and i cant stress this fucking enough, DONT sleep on the rapier battery x Numberologist wombo combo.

>ksons fags outing themselves as the waacfags we all knew they are
kek
>>
>>93138598
Eh, not really, if you are playing Tsons this edition i find that its generally because you like the idea of the legion, all the WAACFags from 1.0 moved over to playing IF.
They got some wombo combos in there still, but you gotta look for them, and they do not involve sehkmet anymore.

Numberoligists for example are a great tool to make units really strong.

Okay, how does this sound:
Praetor w/ 5-man tartaros command squad (power axes)

2 10 man tactical squads in rhinos with apothecaries
1 20 man tactical inductii squad with apothecary
All tactical sergeants have an aether-fire pistol and power fist
10 man sehkmet squad with psychic upgrade

1 contemptor with lascannon
1 osiron with multi melta and raptora for 4++
10 man khenetai occult squad in land raider

10 man HS squad with lascannons
2-tank Predator Squadron w/ autocannons, lascannons and pintle mounted combi bolters

Should I take jetbikes instead of preds?
>>
>>93138864
lets see, if you dont get intercepted (you will, though) you are going to kill like 2 terminators if you are in rapid fire range. deepstrike in general is unreliable they might not even come in until late in the game. 200 points is a contemptor dreadnaught, its a points sink. its not surprising that the same retards saying 60 tacs is a good idea are also saying that 60 tacs but 20 of them are some stupid deepstriking unit, is a good idea. kek.

>10 man khenetai occult squad in land raider
Put the apoth from the inductii into here.

Pred i have found millage may very but they are alright.
I would look at getting Hammers on the command squad though if i were you. Swinging last, but not ID and or causing brutal feels bad.

>>93138945
technically they can move; if they get intercepted or mishap and killed, you can move them straight back to their carrying case.

>>93138931
you cant move after deep striking

unless you really wanna wait a turn to move into position
but at that point, just take a transport?

with what, lascannons? nobody's wasting their lasHSS on tacticals anon

>you are going to kill like 2 terminators if you are in rapid fire range

no that is how stats work, it's not applicable here

probability works like this: your BS4 non-Breaching6+ is about 1/27 to get an unsaved Wound on T4 2+; your Breaching6+ as part of the same shooting is about 1/18 vs 2+/4++ and about 1/13 vs 2+/5++ and about 1/11 vs 2+/6++, which is to say each shot you take, regardless of whether it ends up Breaching or not, has either a 1/27 chance of unsaved Wound or between 1/11 and 1/18 depending on the invulnerable save, if any; if there is none (as is the case for some units like Legion Command Squads and their Legion equivalents and special units) then it's between 1/27 (without Breaching) and 1/9

you cannot rationalize these probabilities together because it's impossible for them to happen as part of the same operation as they're mutually exclusive outcomes; you can say that about 1/9 shots at BS4 with Breaching 6+ will be AP2, but that's as good as it gets for actual probability

stats would be collecting data on how they performed after the fact and making assumptions based on that, but it still doesn't change the underlying very high probability of AP2 - just 1/9 - that comes with the rule, and it doesn't stack because that's not how probability works (if you don't believe me, please spend the rest of your life bitching about how Vegas won't let you just throw down $38 in $1 roulette bets and walk away with more than you started with because bro you don't need to spin it, statistically guaranteed to win bro (the chance of 2x 1/9 is 1/81))

the problem you're having is you're dismissing very likely events (1/9) based on the potential final outcomes that you've frankensteined into a spreadsheet you don't understand because you're bad at stats as well as probability; once we hit 1/9, the best chance anyone has is 1/2

>>93139284
I've no idea what's going on but I've come to mock you

It is 100% possible to calculate the probability that a bolter with breaching(6) deals an unsaved wound to a terminator. Assuming cataphractii:
1s, 2s, and 3s fail to wound. This is half of the wounds.
4s and 5s wound on the armor. This is 1/3rd of wounds, which are unsaved 1/6th of the time.
6s are on the invuln, so 1/2 are unsaved.
Multiplying the probability to wound+be unsaved, and then adding the three events together, gets us a probability of a single shot wounding of 5/36. Multiply that times 2/3rds (the probability to hit), then you have 40 shots from 20 dudes, and that is 3.7ish unsaved wounds. Or 2 dead terminators.

Tbh it'd be a waste to hurl them at enemy terminators. It they fired at a TEQ they'd do some 7+ wounds, which is decent.

I finished the end and the death 3, right before the Emperor and horus fight, there is a dialogue exchange where the Emperor talks to the chaos gods instead of horus says" You have killed my son" then asks them "Why" 3 times. Why is he asking them Why? They are enemies already like isn't it obivious why they would use horus? I feel like was confused by this whole exchange.
>>
>>93140047
I think it was an attempt to make him seem more human and that he actually did care about his sons beyond the capacity of them being a tool, like he generally saw them as his sons, so the idea of him asking why, is because he was actually grieving.

Has anyone used or seen used a double inferno pistol mortitat? You have to roll the chain fire attacks one at a time but I figure you'd usually get at least four or five hits which should be enough for most vehicles, and it'd be pretty nasty against terminators or veterans.

Yeah, people who think humanity would have just magically stopped fighting itself and need no policing are completely fucking delusional. Not to mention that something like Nids showing up in your galaxy can happen, having legions of super soldiers at the ready is real fucking convenient in a lot of situations.

The culling of the thunder warriors was a dick move, but at least it was somewhat of a mercy killing. They were biologically and mentally unstable, with organs shutting down and widespread psychosis. The thunder warriors were never created to last.
But you don't go and make a bunch of incredibly powerful, near immortal beings like the primarchs when the plan was to get rid of them from the start. That's the complete opposite of planned obsolence. It just makes the traitor primarchs look like fucking retards for believing they were meant to be cast aside, no idea why BL writers ever thought that was a good thing to add to the story.

Given that the Thunder Warriors were purged, two of their own were already purged and existence erased from history, the seeds of doubt are already there.

Curze and Angron were already on there way out and knew it, and Morty and Pete had trust and self esteem issues, so it kinda tracks. Lorgar, Horus, and Fulgrim were high on the Chaos kool-ade, Magnus was told exactly what he needed to hear then Russ confirmed it for him, and who knows what the fuck Alpharius was thinking.

His Mark III plate had been torn by the blast like a hastily opened rations can. His helm was shattered, and only half the Destroyer’s head remained within it.

People really overplay reactions.
Unless we’re talking about intercept, which even then is loadout dependent, your opponent is getting 2 reactions at most a phase, more often just 1.
It’s not that hard to bait someone into wasting their reaction on something that seems more important, while leaving what you want alone.
Also if you’re planning on charging a unit, combine units for benefits. Hit them with a Recon Squad to fish for pinning, have some Jetbikes zoom in from another angle, charge first to absorb overwatch then disengage next turn for no penalty.
There’s plenty of ways to work around reactions. People who freak out over them and treat them like some impossible obstacle to overcome just haven’t adapted to them yet.
>>
>>93141271
No anon you are wrong

Every unit can always react every time all the time

Also the enemy unit is always 10 lascannons and also a 10 man terminator death star with WS 5, chaplain, primus medicae, herald, and primarch, that automatically teleports into close combat at any moment.

It was everything that would hold him back from doing what needed to be done. He wasn’t lobotomising himself and losing the ability to care about things full stop, or he’d have just sat down and let chaos win, because he’d no longer give a shit about anything.
The anger, grief and sense of loss and betrayal he’d have felt over the gods abusing his first found son, that he’d have likely kept, because all that anger and need for vengeance, THAT would have been of benefit in the fight.
The part of him that wanted to save Horus, that would have potentially risked everything to spare his son’s life, that got siphoned off into the Star Child, but the angry father out for blood, that would have remained, and is why he still exhibited paternal care over Horus, even as he drove a knife into his heart.

>>93138887
Take Jetbikes and drop the Las HSS to 5 marines instead, both to not be a dick, and to avoid sinking too many points into a single squad that will likely be a overkill as an anti armour unit. If you’ve got 5pts to spare, for 130pts you’ll have Jetbikes with 2 volkites and a multi melta, which will seem less intimidating, but if you get behind vehicles, all 3 can fuck things up.
>>
>>93141486
Absolutely this.

No one wants to get steamrolled, so you do need to know the rules and what units are capable of, but if you build units for flavour and fun, and take units because you put effort into making and painting them, then you’re more likely to have a good time, and be someone other people will enjoy playing with.
Obsessing over what the ‘best’ list is, and building an army to just that, will inevitably backfire when a new edition rolls around and the meta changes anyway.

I've come to strongly dislike list building min maxing. It's catnip for autists, but it makes for a worse game where almost everything is actually decided before playing or by pure luck of the dice.
I hate all those lists and talk about whole units with the "best" loadout. Like rampagers all with falax blades, or shit like suicide combi melta squads. It's gamey bullshit far from pseudo-historical side that I prefer.
Kill Team '21 approach of more fluffy menu-like lists without points made a lot of people butthurt, but it effetively moved most of the decision making to the actual gameplay where it belongs.

Also, fuck off, James. This isn't 40k. Rhinos and predators were used by humans thousands of years before marines existed. If the division between "marine" and "non-marine" equipment existed as far back as the great crusade, what even was the point something like the Emperor declaring all land raiders for marine use? They apparently already were. How is it that SA, the dudes second only to marines, have to use cheap chinese rhinos and predators, but militia gets to use actual rhinos and land raiders?

You're confusing the gamey bullshit that FW made up about the Aurox and the Carnodon with them being obviously more primitive Saturnine made Rhinos and Predators of the same tech level as the original Mars mk1 versions of those from RT. Just like the Phaeton patterns also must have existed from the early GC era onwards.
The Deimos must be second generation patterns that existed at the same time than the Mars mk2, but were more popular thanks to their better tech.

There's an evident divide between riveted and non-riveted designs, with the latter pretty much only used by marines, and it was explained originally in the fluff about Land Raiders and Anvillus (lost later to the imperium due to the HH).

Or maybe not.

It's all made up gamey bullshit. None of this was a thing until HH became a product to sell, at which point hard lines had to be drawn between product lines and you could not cross those lines. Why do you think Marines get to have Termites in their book but Mechanicum (and SA) got it moved into Legends, along with all the other "non-Mechanicum" units, like Land Raiders and artillery units? Because they don't belong in the proper list and it's easier to just remove them from existence down the line.
>>93142359
>Legion versions of the Medusa, Basilisk
You mean the shit they literally pulled out of their asses so someone's autism would be spare having to put different style vehicles in the same army? The same reason they made Aurox and Carnodon in the style of SA vehicles, because God forbid SA would use vehicles that looks like they weren't made in the 1800s. Why do you think SA don't have Dreadclaws, even though they're all about the void combat and Dreadclaws were used by the Navy and are used by non-Marine Chaos? Because they haven't made a bolted together "SA" style Dreadclaws yet.

Art direction is a reasonable reason for doing it. SA are a diesel punk riveted faction, so the more modern looking vehicles look off in a force of them, and it makes sense that the best stuff goes to the Legions. SA are still short lived meatbags compared to marines in the military hierarchy of the Imperium, no matter how elite they think they are.

Why didn't they make a "Legion" variant of the Malcador and various Baneblades? Surely they'd want Marines to be using the best and not some crappy third-line junk? Lets just ignore that Rhinos already were suppose to be super simple (which is why they had the ability to be repaired in battle), something which the even simpler Aurox does not have.

the Malcador lack of a proper turret points to it as clearly a stop gap solution. Its role was probably fullfilled by the Kratos, or maybe even by Predators with battle cannons like the Sororitas one in 40k. WE DONT SEE ALL THE STUFF THEY MUST HAVE USED

"Proteus" is an unbrella term for all the first gen LRs. The current one in the game was actually designed in Anvillus (so it wasn't avaible at first when they left the Solar System), and the RT one was probably a Mars pattern, and the version used by both marines and the army until it was retired.

The Aurox IS a Rhino just like the mk1 Rhino. The gamey difference only exist in FW rules and your inability to understand it.

Visions is just like any other stuff made by GW. Parts of it are still valid, and others are not.
Most of it has been superseded by more recent material, but there's still some stuff that can be reasonably be taken as still canon, like many of those RT/2e vehicles being used during the HH, as the artists were clearly told to use them when the modern 40k designs from 3rd ed were already released.

It is, i have been saying this since the release of 2.0
HH 2.0 is going to be the spring board they use to reboot 40k in teh same way that TOW is to AoS.

40k is going to become their try hard tournamnt game that makes the money and lots of it, HH is going to move into the scouring and war of the beast, and is going to eventually include old xeno races like necros, eldar, orks, nids, possibly tau, all using the old 3rd - 7th rule sets.

>>93143334
While I like that artwork, the blue Thousand Sons are kind of odd. They had red armour since the beginning of the whole HH stuff (Space Marine 1st edition - back then with a M as chapter symbol).

I suppose they chose the blue and gold because of the Jes Goodwin miniature with the pharaonic style, but this wasn't a HH model.

Yeah IK, it's just that 40k TSons blue happens to be my favorite color captured in a paint pot and I want to use it, but I also don't like 40k. The candy red is fine tho don't get me wrong

Its Delusional to think they wont.
This is the same company that nuked warhammer fantasy only to bring it back, this is the same company that shit all over the 40k lore and are continuing to do so in order to sell more models.
If you REALLY think, that GW would not use the HH as the opening to creating a 40k reboot that is designed to appeal to the older generations of players who are very much discontent with modern 40k, in order to get that market share again, you are the delusional one.

You all best buckle the fuck up buckaroo because its happening. We are already approaching the end of HH from the story stand point, and there are a LOT of people out there are not going for modern 40k, enough that GW wants them back, and HH is going to move into the scouring and or war of the beast era to do so.

Im just telling you whats going to eventually be coming down the pipe. GW already has shown multiple times, they dont give a flying fuck about muh lore or fluff consistansy or even whats healthy for the games settings, they just want ot make more and more money at any cost.

Them pushing hh into a soft reboot of 40k with the intent to have it set in a time similar to older editions of 40k to tap into that market is the most obvious next move. If you think they were willing to nuke the fucking out of Warhammer fantasy only to bring it back because they realized a lot of people liked fantasy, but you think they wont sacrifice HH to bring back old school 40k, you are either being willfully ignorant or delusional.

I think that doesn’t indicate much, those are made by a thirdparty company using the old better established look of the models instead of GW’s nu-abominations, it’s likely that they did so because there’s simply more source material for the old design.
Breachers have no representation in model or art form with the nu-MK3 for example, which means that they would either have to establish a new look for nu-MK3 breachers themselves (which they obviously can’t do as a thirdparty company) or use the planned designs of the GW team for those breachers (which i highly doubt even exist since they are too busy huffing their own farts and planning on how to destroy other iconic designs).
So when John French pushed for GW to commision them to make IF breachers so he could put his favourite action figures in a cumjar they had to use the old design.

If the actual GW design team were to be more involved we would without a doubt only see the ”updated” armour designs and it would take several years between each new release.
>>
>>93144231
>Just because something is successful does not mean its good quality. McDonalds is successful but no one thinks of McDonalds as good food.
i does mean mcdonalds has no incentive to change, just as gw has no incentive to change.

30k has always been the hold out of old school 40k, thats the point of it. nobody wants or cares about the scouring or your stupid xenos. mk7 slop will stay in 40k where it belongs, getting mogged by a half assed mk4 redesign that they called primaris.

>>93144128
Yup, he even thinks that GW making a 40k reboot where you won't get the tourniekiddies jumping in and ruining everything for everybody is possible. Fucking fantasyland shit. HH as a setting works incredibly well for filtering the majority of them because they can't jump in without buying an entire new army, remove that and there isn't anything stopping them. I fucking hate 40k players and they have been saying the same shit for years
>HH won't sell because marine vs marine is the most boring shit imaginable
>HH as a setting is stale because you already know how everything ends
>they are totally going to add xenos just you wait
>next year they are totally going to do it
>well next one then
>GW and FW need to revitalize interest in the game by adding xenos
40kiddies were saying that shit since nearly day one and when you ask them why not play 40k instead of shoehorning their shit here they start to make up the wildest reasons that their diseased brain can conjure
>it's not as balanced / the rules are boring / the fluff is shit / there were two dead eldars in that battle once so I am justified to bring my entire army in / can't play an older edition or homebrew because there isn't any player willing to play with me / etc
None of these justify adding xenos in when they aren't the focus of the game and the armies that are are so fucking unbalanced / phoned in / full of shit that doesn't work the way is supposed to / gutted out of options from 1.0.

Why do they think that GW, which already tries it's best to do things like separate old options and make them legion uniques(teleporting termies) or army unique (relegating termites to legacies for non marines) and setting unique (40k losing 30k shit), would slaughter their cash cow (30k) in exchange for a setting that shares entire factions 1:1 with 40k? At best it's going to be some books for 40k in the style of the old imperial armour ones. Now they believe that because the books depicted the SoT the setting is ended and there isn't anything going forward so they must go onto the scouring. As if we ever got a SoT black book or supplement or as if we never knew the ending. So far we can count legion weapon upgrade sets on our hands btw and not all legions got new shit either, it's just the 40k brainworm of switching editions faster than some 40k players switch t-shirts. Why do they switch editions so fast? So these people don't notice that GW makes things broken on purpose, they think that it's because there wasn't time to fix things despite GW being the ones deciding when an edition drops.

Orks can be grimdark and not goofy at all. Most 40k and 30k stories with them are actually like that: The Crimson Fist books, the Wolf of Ash and Fire, or Warhawk of Chogoris

The problem is making somebody play them as the bestial runaway alien bioweapon warrior caste they are, and not as green hooligans with funny accents. Xeno players wouldn't like that a 30k ork Liber would not have names like shoota and choppa, but stubber and cleaver.

>>93144805
Actually that’s be a good way to differentiate the Orks.

40K Orks are the vicious but comical hooligans, with the Goffs as the dumb thug clan in charge of proceedings, while 30K is the more cunning, driven and diabolically evil properly trained and equipped military force under the control of the Blood Axes, acting as the officers that carolled the other clans into a proper fighting force.

It’d need entirely different models, rules, names, vehicles and wargear to 40K, but it’d be a very interesting way to show how dangerous Orks used to be, and why they could become a true threat to the Imperium if Ghazgull ever manages to get a big enough Waagh going to raise their collective average intelligence up again.
>>
>>93144837
You can pretty much counter their reaction with the fact Orks don’t understand the concepts of women or babies, and have no empathy or compassion.
Pretty much every time Orks take control of a human civilian population in the fluff, it is some of the most gut wrenching and stomach turning shit imaginable.
They’re pure evil, but are having a great time and not taking anything around them seriously, so they make for whacky clowns when they’re not a threat, but they’re despised by everyone that encounters them for a good reason.
>>
>>93144910
they are a silly reddit meme faction and their exclusion from 30k is part of why 30k is great.
>>
>>93144861
There's no need for different models, just not using the more goofy ones (like the pirate orks), and a more realistic/grimdark paint scheme instead of the cartoon-like stuff they got in 40k.

The Imperial Armour book about the Raid on Kastorel-Novem was already half way there.

I imagine a major proble for a carrier is the scale of 30k games. Who's gonna have the carrier on the table, then launch the drill, and wait for it to arrive at the destination, rather than launch it off-board? Then again, the not-Hellbore has even less of a reason to have a carrier due to its size, making it even less useful in most 30k games. Then again, you could have the carrier act like the Damocles Rhino for its drill, enabling it to arrive with more precision/sooner/do more damage upon entry, or something. Like, you'd buy the carrier for each drill (for relatively cheap) and if they're on the table the turn the drill arrives, you get the bonus. Idea being that the drill was launches just before the game began and the drill is close to the front to provide assistance. Without the carrier, the assumption is the drill was launched further away and the carrier cannot provide assistance to the drill at the battlefield.

Yeah that's more or less what I imagined, the termite and mole being already prelaunched from their carriers and they appear from the ground during the game in their "half burrowed" model. Like you don't move your marines in the first turn to wherever they're deepstriking from, they're already there (whether in a teleportarium or low orbit in terms of jump packs)

The thunderhawk also was Sold out Online last month, but now it can be ordered again.

What's the likelihood of us getting Solar Auxilia Charonite Ogryns in plastic?
>>
>>93145539
I honestly thought they were gonna be released but once I saw the scout walkers... yeah not any time soon if ever
>>
>>93145539
Considering they weren't in the initially wave of plastic SA and Mechanicoom is up next... not anytime soon. Or in other words, right after the plastic melee weapon kits :^)

WE are a mark II legion

>>93145712
Wrong, they're one of the traitor legions which received preferential treatment thanks to Horus and thus got a lot of the new, fancy Mk IV power armour suits send their way.

Waiting on the melee upgrade kit before I get going. Tbh maybe some 3d printed Falax blades and other bits for a Rampager squad, fuck buying official scuffed FW resin.

im going to see if the arms from the command squad kit and recast versions of the phobos chainaxe kit will work
>>
>>93145732
yes but they burn through armour so fast they have to bring out older suits or use mark V. But aesthetically mark II fits because it resembles articulated gladiator armour and it is also supposed to be the least restrictive for movement. The WE also don't care about enhanced sensor suites.

there's also not a chance in hell the melee kit will have chainaxes in it.

Plastic heresy chain axes aren't happening anon, there is 0 fucking chance. Take the resin pill like the rest of your XIIth legion brothers, you'll need 3d printed falax blades anyways.

I bought a bunch of recast falax blades from the Rampager kit.
Several broke in transit. The rest were so thin that you could clearly see light through them.
I went with alternatives.

You do know the CSM warpsmith literally uses the same base model as the primaries techmarine, right?
