I started in 3rd, but I remember having the most fun in 4th and early 5th but that may just be the nostalgia talking. Fell out of the hobby halfway through 5th ed until 7th. Played a few games against Eldar and got to experience the absolute fucking bullshit faggotry of Soulburst and left again. Came back for the end of 7th mess and the transition to 8th.
Last time I had fun was in latter day 9th when AOC was a thing. 10th isn't good but it's a vast improvement from when it first came out as an untested beta version. Still not great. Fuck GW for removing so many options and fluff.

I cannot believe we don't have a campaign book or something of the sort where Ghazhskull launches a crusade against Angron for killing Yarrick. You'd think that after getting bored of Octaruis, Ghaz would begin an even bigger whaaaagh, and revenge against Yarrick's murderer should give him plenty of reasons.

Yarrick should've been the one to kill Ghazhskull instead of Ragnar

>To be fair the angle... make right look a lot worse than it actually is
That's part of the problem. It has no golden angle. There's a problem with the figure from every angle so it literally can't be photographed well.

>Which edition or rule set of Warhammer 40k do you think was the best, and why?
To be completely honest. This has been my favourite edition. The core rules are the best of any edition. It's not too simple or too complicated. The terrain rules make more sense than previous editions.

I can’t really answer the TQ since this is my first edition. All my friends say they liked 9th better because there was a psyker phase, so maybe that’s what you’re looking for? Idk.

Anyways, reposting from last thread. I’m trying to build out a 1k points salamander list and I’d like some CC. This is my first time in the hobby so I’m looking for some practical advice. I’ve watched some YT videos to prepare but I want to make sure I have the right idea.

>Characters:
1x Adrax Agatone
1x Gravis Captain with powerfist and relic chain sword
>Enhancement: War-Tempered Artifice

>Infantry:
6x Agressors with flame storm gauntlets
3x Bladeguard Veterans
6x Eradicators

>Vehicles
1x Land Raider Redeemer

My basic Strategy is to use the land raider redeemer to put my aggressors right into melee and have a Gravis captain to give them the free overwatch with flame storm gauntlets. Then I have the eradicators as an Anti-Armor role, with Adrax and the Bladeguards to hold another objective, getting rerolls on wounds.

The warp is described as a universe of pure energy without a physical form or matter.
C'tan are beings of pure energy from a different universe.
one is physical the other isn't.
sounds like you messed up there.
even if we consider energy physical it does not add up.

I thought the warp was a dimension of emotions and ideas made manifest not energy. The C'tan being not emotional energy would make them more physical and more anchored to our dimension than the warp.

>>
>>93208710
The warp is a place full of pure (psychic) energy the emotions and stuff just give form to that energy manifesting in chaosgods and the likes while in "our" universe the form is mostly defined throug matter.
What kind of energy C'tan actually are... i have no clue but it is energy from our universe. In theory both energys follow the rules for thermodynamics if we believe that things like differend dimensions and what not are possible.

I find it so strange that they felt the need to reinvent the concept like that. They probably could have remade the old one very well; Vashtorr's model shows that they can sculpt stretched-out flesh over metal pretty decently now.

That's your first fumble.
Never expect anything cohesive or something that actually makes sense regarding the Warp.

Warp and Chaos are not meant to make sense, for the sole reason so GW and its writers can fuck around without any consequence.
>the C'tan
That's your second one.
They are poorly written and badly implemented in 40k and GW is willing to just sweep them under the rug because they know they as much sense as the Warp.
Ie. none at all.
>>
>>93208764
>Can we have not mayan Lizardfolk in 40k?
No, because AoS called dibs first.

GW is intentionally removing any and all ranges that are and would compete with one another.
It's the same reason you're never getting skaven in 40k, because they exist in AoS.

there's the tarellian dog soldiers

but if you want slann-related lizards, they have got to be mayans at least to the same extent necrons have got to be egyptians
which means some leeway is possible

but the thing is that they simply look way better with tribal stuff like feathers, furs and bones, plus less sci-fi attires help in showing their froggy skin
>>
>>93208772
The Warp and how it all works makes tons of sense if you read the Realm of Chaos books. Its just GW and BL books expects everyone to have read it and never repeat the information in it to newbies, hence the secondary confusion about it. Minor and Independant Warp 'gods' and daemons are things. the big 4 stealing each others daemons seems impossible due to them being born from their god, but stealing their mortal non daemon prince followers is fair game.
As well as non sentient life creating daemons and gods, like a world ravaged and destroyed over thousands of years, rivers, creeks, stones and trees all can fuel emotions in the warp that canflow together into a daemon or minor warp power.
Suicide pacts by cultists can also fuse their soul/emotional energy

Good. There were practically no Fantasy But In Space factions to begin with (for example CWE have almost none shared traits with High Elves) so distancing even more is a boon, not a bane.

Another recent example of this are the beasts of chaos or whatever the faction is called. GW just utterly axed that shit out of AoS.
Guess where they then shoved it?
Into the TOW to pad out its army roster a bit.

Also I forgot to mention, GW just updated the skaven for AoS 4th edition. That is just the final nail coffin for the entire idea of space skaven.
It's just never going to happen now.

Everyone knows that, furfags are just in-denial about it.
And not too long ago those fags were here acting GW could just do some Hrud shit or whatever to add space skaven in.
But AoS 4th edition completely just kills that entire idea because GW does not want competing ranges, ie. 2 rat factions. And they especially do not want ranges that compete across2 different game systems.

It's the same reason why GW has pretty entirely axed firstborn out of 40k and shoved all of them either into legends or Horus Heresy only.

its not that they don't want armies with similar themes competing with each other.
its that they don't want you playing different games with a single army. a firstborn marine army you could play with in 40k or HH.
a beastman army you could play with in AoS or WHFB. thats all gone now (more or less).

>>93209014
this even applies to daemons

GW promotes mixing daemon types in 40k (e.g khorne with nurgle)
but in AoS, theres no way to do so, theres no "daemon" faction

so if you have a 40k daemon army, theres a high chance it isnt playable in AoS unless you drop some stuff
>>
>>93209014
Same difference.
GW still did just axe the HH dreads out of 40k. Currently they were in legends last I checked, basically the unit graveyard.
>>
>>93209005
>RT and shit within it are no longer canon.

I'm genuinely confused why there are such a huge number of Skaven fans online but they are like one of the least collected armies in either of their two playable games. Are they literally all just secondaries who like Vermintide/Total Warhammer? And if so, why do they care so much about them showing up in 40k?
>>
>>93209037
Lore doesn't enter my games or enjoyment area without my consent.
I don't care what GW says, they are all full shit anyway and only reason why they ever did that in begining was purely due to a corporate decision.
Aka, they realized they can make more money by just copypasting and reusing an entire faction in 40k and get more money out of all the fans.
>>
>>93208660
The problem is that the obliterator virus was a unique thing from full daemonic possession, and that is told well visually in the old sculpt. The new sculpts do not look visually different from other daemon engines, aside from the knowledge that there is also a mortal inside the "possessed" armor. So there is no longer a perception that obliterators are unique from other daemon engines, from looking at the minis.
>>
>>93208945

Because for the longest time they had a completely dogshit range full of unusably ugly and old models like rat ogres and plague monks, and a shit-ton of resin and metal. Every single bundle box that they made for a while had to include Stormfiends and a Warp Lightning Cannon because they basically only had five acceptable plastic kits.

GSC are sewer dwelling Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, who are actively undermining their host society by stabbing them into back at every opportunity.
And GSC specifically spread through a "plague"/"infection", which is very bubonic plague themed in a sense, it's spread from an animal (genestealer) to a human to propagate the "plague".

I never understand why don't CSM players paint gradient fleshmetal like on the paintjob of old metal daemon prince. Where the gun arm had both colours of power armour as well as red darmonic flesh in a gradient. I think that look could lend itself super well into new obliterators or daemon engines
I feel like adhering to dichotomy of flesh & metal is literally counterproductive to the very concept
>>
>>93209519
Not in my opinion, because that's just how the studio was basing them. The main takeaway was that they're on flat surfaces that anyone could base in their own style.
Tactical rocks make everyone have the exact same base unless someone cares to do some hobbying and change the pose or make their own tactical rock. Which 90% do not.

Yeah, but the question was "bad matchups in lore", and since the matchup is bad for both sides, that's the answer. Both will end up burning up more energy than what they'll probably win, and thus they will avoid one another when possible. Even necrons vs nids/necrons vs daemons are more viable lore fights, because the necrons actually have reasons to actively push back (necrons hate the warp and all corrupting warp influence/necrons want some life around in the galaxy to either rule over it or to turn back into the living one day).

To where? To another galaxy across the empty void of space? Can warp travel leave you into another galaxy? They are certainly not reaching any other galaxy by traditional engine power.

yes, the warp exists everywhere
but navigating out of the galaxy through the warp is near impossible with imperial craft

Yes. The Great Crusade launched several expeditions outside the galaxy and fought alien races in the void between the galaxy.
>>
>>93210093

>Which edition or rule set of Warhammer 40k do you think was the best, and why?
3rd by far. I think, as a ruleset, it was the best the game has ever been. It was carefully designed to reign in 2ed into a condensed, format that actually allowed for porper armies while still retaining plenty of cool simulationist mechanics. It's easy to learn, straightforward but doesn't overabstract things like modern editions. Codexes were cheap, full of characters, customization and interesting mechanics and every army had its own idenitity. The armylist system is what detachments wish they could be. The art was phenomenal and iconic, the edition was built to last and indeed lasted the longest out of any other edition, there was extra WD content in spades and it's the time where they did the best global campaigns ever. If I could press a button to turn 11th into a cleaned up version of 3rd keeping the formatting style, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Anon, that doesn't mean they went into another galaxy. That means they moved around the stars outside of the galaxy's spiral, which would be the outermost parts of the galaxy before the void. There's no way for the imperium to go outside of the galaxy. The only ones that did it are the nids, and considering their origins are murky at best, it's just one of the theories.

It made things fast. Same deal as USRs, if something is common it's very easy to remember. Having each unit type share characteristics makes them easy to remember without having to always reference a datasheet like today.
>Scouts were better than marines for points.
Points are completely separate from the ruleset and can be changed at any point.
>Could move and fire a heavy weapon.
I suppose you mean couldn't, but a single heavy weapon matter a lot more back then than today. Careful positioning was the way to balance them.
>Could only shoot a bolter once at 12 inches if you moved
Again, lethality was very different back then and I prefer that to everything being one shotted from across the board unless you fill everything with L shaped ruins.

Facing is great. It forces people to actually make their models face the things they shoot and prevents gamey situations with vehicles shooting from a track that pokes from a building.

Again, that doesn't mean what you thing it means. It's just outside of the spiral or (more realistically) outside of the astronomican. The light of the Emperor cannot be seen from the entirety of the galaxy to begin with, how could they even navigate outside of it with any degree of safety?

Except for all the units that could move more or less.

Because dudes running and gunning a tripod mounted autocannon with a slight penalty makes more sense.

Exactly, why should there be any penalties for a unit firing on the go. Surely a trained soldier is equally good at long range whether he's running or in position.

Yeah, that would utterly fuck up any imperial vessel, they are not that resilient, nor do they have that good resource management. If the longer the voyage lasts the exponentially bigger chance of something going wrong, then travelling outside of the galaxy would be utterly suicidal (especially once you leave the astronomican's light).

According to this, 100,000 ly would take between 100 to 400 days. But rarely does a ship fly in a straight line, as they follow warp currents for optimal speed and safety, and avoid dangerous regions of space. Not to forget that the Astronomican does not cover the entire galaxy, making travel dangerous and unpredicatable.

As for extragalactic travel, the question is whether the warp is turbulent across the universe. Some sources would indicate the warp gets calmer outside of the galaxy, because there's no life there to feed into it, which would mean there would not be strong currents to carry a ship along, reducing travel time.
>>
>>93210472
You can't, I don't remember where its from (possibly something about Macharius crusade), but the warp is "becalmed" in the space outside the galaxy, it was described as trying to cross the ocean in a sailing vessel when the sea is calm and there is not a shred of wind to be found to fill your sails.
Fuck only knows how warp engines work, but they're supposed to be increasingly worthless the further into and past the fringes of the galaxy you go, presumably because theres no souls out there to stir up the warp and provide currents (complete guesswork)?
>>
>>93210647
>there would not be strong currents to carry a ship along, reducing travel time.
Or make it longer? If warp travel can be compared to old sea sailing, the worst nightmare for a sailor was an area of the sea that was utterly calm. No currents or winds, just complete stillness. That would lead to no movement at all.

Facts like warp storms are localized in both the warp and real space, evets like the Fall of the Eldar happened over the core of their empire, not in some random location halfway across the universe, etc. If all those events caused by things in the galaxy are also localized in the galaxy, how do their effects ripple across the universe?
>The Silent King lore says that there are alien races in the void, other than the Tyranids.
I'm sure there is random bits of life out there, but it's not teeming everywhere like in the galaxy. Otherwise, why are the tyranids gunning for us, rather than just harvesting the void?

NTA, I know you are autisticly reading too much into this question but let me explain how fucking empty intergalactic space is. The difference in matter density is between the vaccum of space above earths atmosphere and a puddle of water. Compared to intergalactic space, entering the galaxy proper is like diving into a lake in terms of matter.

Would you not going fishing in a lake despite it not being made entirely of fish? If you think of the total atoms available in a lake, probably less than .0000000000000000000000000000000000001% is made up of fish. And yet it's worthwhile for the fisherman to spend his time there to go fishing.

Add that with the lore implicating the tyranids are running from something worse from their home galaxy and you can see why they need to get into a galaxy to replenish their resources.
>>
>>93210297
I'm not entirely sure the person who wrote that bit of filler text was entire cognisant of what it would mean by putting "extra-galactic" into the text of that entry. There's a lot of galactic fringe worlds beyond Thramas in the Somnium Stars and Exodus Worlds that could definitely be considered to be outside the galactic main spiral arms but certainly still not what an astronomer would consider "outside the galaxy." I don't think you should read to much into that beyond "the Imperium went deep into the fringe stars of the galaxy".

What question? Anon did not ask a question, he was mentioning a piece of fluff.

Yes, thank you, we all know that. That's my point. That even if there was life out there, it's not enough to fuck with the warp as much as a concentrated orgy of space elves cooming a hole in the fabric of reality is. And thus the warp space between galaxies would be less turbulent.
>Add that with the lore implicating the tyranids are running from something worse from their home galaxy and you can see why they need to get into a galaxy to replenish their resources.
And the 12 other galaxies?
>>
>>93210664
But he also says that the only threat out there is the Tyranids. Its entirely possible however that there is scattered pockets of life in extra-galactic rogue solar systems and small star clusters, surviving out in the dark, but they're no real threat to the 40K universe, nor is extra galactic space teeming with life.

All this talk of stuff outside the universe makes me remember the piece of fluff that claims most transmissions outside the galaxy that the mechanicus pick up are in orkish.

>Millennia ago, a probe was sent out from Earth, its mission to voyage to the end of the galaxy. The scientists who built it hoped that it would someday return to its place of origin after circumnavigating the galaxy. The probe still sends back faint signals after 14,000 years adrift, and hasn't yet begun its return voyage (and it's uncertain if it ever will). To the utter despair of the Imperial Techpriests who still monitor the probe, amongst the incessant battery of incoming signals many are identified as Orkish. The depressing conclusion for mankind can only be that wherever they travel in space, there is a good chance that the Orks will have got there first or will be arriving soon.

Wrong. The text from the short story says that he found many threats outside the galaxy, the Tyranids were the most threatening of the unspeakable things he found there. But that a second hand account not from the Silent King himself.

The new lore about the Silent King mentions nothing of the Tyranids and just has him conquering a new realm for the Necrons and then returning to handle the threat of Chaos.
