Ruststalker Princeps gets pretty close, honestly. Precision, Anti-Infantry 3+, and Dev wounds if you do his loadout correctly. Maybe the HQ version could do something dumb like give the squad sustained or +1 to wound against infantry.

Caiaphas Cain & Jurgen. Melee weapons on his unit get +1 to wound vs enemies with higher toughness and Jurgen's melta & his chainsword have precision. As befitting of a cowa- I mean brave and glorious hero, he can tactically reposition his squad when someone gets close.

That's fair enough, but for many people it isn't an option. Also I'll give buying from GW directly this: if something is fucked up with your kit you'll actually get freebies from customer support. They'll tell you to pester the store you bought from otherwise.

Some chapters are lucky enough to get unique sculpts or they just use a custom shoulderpad.

The Fracture of Biel-Tan was the last time I really enjoyed the lore, I love the character of Yvraine, and it's the same reason I love the Host of the Eternity King in WFB or the Daelaam at the end of Starcraft 2.
I fucking adore it when all the various, disparate parts of a race or faction that hate each other have to come together against a common foe and fight shoulder to shoulder, despite loathing one another, to save their people. Seeing all the different aesthetics on the table, and imaging how those groups interact, is something I seriously enjoy.
Like picturing how smug and superior an Archon would be towards a group of Banshees after he sweeps in with his Incubi and saves them being overrun by a horde of Tyranids, or a Farseer trying to get all spiritual about the nature of fate and the universe with a group of Kabalites who just go "k" and walk on.
I'm in the minority when it comes to the Ynnari but they're genuinely my favourite part of 40k.

I wish the things you described ever got a chance to show up in the actual lore more and didn't all just get swept aside by GW because they didn't hit gold immediately on the first try.
Valedor unironically has a lot more of that desperate camaraderie than the actual Ynnari books.

FoBT and the Psychic Awakening Ynnari supplement and, surprisingly, Battlefleet Gothic 2 show more of the interactions between the various groups which I love.
The books were written by Gay Thorpe and thus can be ignored. If you want a good Ynnari story read Turn of the Adder.

Based. I've been tempted to start a Ynnari army for a while now, but I've been busy with other stuff and it's hard to justify the time and storage space for a third army right now. The idea of souping every kind of elf in one army IS appealing, though.

Always nice to meet another Ynnari fan, I can't wait to expand my army for 'em. I've got the new Archon and a Succubus both waiting to be painted. Until now my Incubi and Wyches have been led by the Visarch and Yvraince but it'll be nice to have a generic Arch and Bus so I can /mydudes/ them up.
Thinking of giving the Succubus a Banshee helmet and blade in addition to her agoniser whip, or the Archon a few Autarch bits to represent the mingling and crossing of paths/cultures within the Ynnari.

There's a big asterisk behind the infinite for all those factions. Stormcast are closer to necrons. Yeah they'll technically comeback after some time, but slightly less effective with each death and if chaos overruns azyr that's it
>>
>>97295753
Sigmarines can die though, through various magic bullshittery like belakor's cursed skies or whatever the fuck the ghost people do to steal stormcast souls.
Also if they get too crazy other stormcasts put them out of their misery. Which imo is actually a pretty lame development, it takes away all of the tragedy of sigmarines if you can just be put to rest anyway. If you're going to create magic immortal lightning warrior you should be stuck with all the crazy dementia lightning warriors for eternity. They accidentally made it way less ""grimdark"" when they were trying to do the opposite.

Yeah, the four books are 500 Worlds, Maelstrom, The Eye of Terror, and Armageddon. We don't know the specifics of the last two but Iron Warriors against Admech with new Mutilators and a Defiler are rumored and a new Yarrick and Orks with the last book.

The closest I'll get to a high point buy game is playing Dawn of War. As an aside, it's hilarious how much Eldar hard counter Necrons in that. Not just because their mobile, raiding playstyle is uniquely suited to fucking up Necrons, but because Eldar weaponry easily punches through Living Metal where most races would struggle. Necrons are pretty OP compared to most but get folded against Eldar. It's a nice nod to the lore.

Craftworlders suck though. There was a time when they were OP on the TT, but they were never powerful in the lore. The only thing Eldar do in 40k well is job. They are the only faction who reliably loses to guardsmen in non-guardsmen books. Hell, they always lose in their own novels.

This is because the writers love to jack off to the doomed dying elf race trope

On tabletop, Eldar consistently lose to Necrons. You have to play Eldar very well to counter Necrons. Necrons have a very easy time locking down the board then just rolling over the Eldar.

Similar to how the Eldar caused the men of iron revolts that took down humanity, I'm of the opinion that the Eldar backstabbed the Krorks and did something to devolve them. They kept them around to prune would be upstarts. But the Eldar made sure to cull the orks every now and then to prevent Beasts (krorks) from arising.

You could say that the only reason Crons won was that they had the backing of the Materium counterparts to the chaos gods. The Necrons started so behind the curb that they had to invent voidcraft to wage war on the Old Ones. They were a planet bound civilization, taking on a galaxy spanning one with nothing but pure spite and jealousy.

>>97296392
The one krork we see in Trazyn's collection was significantly bigger than the Beast. There is no ork in existence that has come close to krork level.

So Necrons won because they were stronger and Eldar lost because they were weaker, got it.

Eldar always lose. The Imperium alone killed 90% of them during the Great Crusade.

Have to say I'm not a fan of Korks being War in Heaven space marines. When you look at orks, they're really last ditch weapons. Cheap to make, hard to get rid of. Everything they need to know is coded in their genes, they can use the enemy's weapons against them, and once they land on a planet, they're hard to get rid of. Brain boyz giving them direction and focus. And especially their psychic powers, which don't draw on the Warp directly, but all members draw on it a little bit, not enough to draw the attention of daemons, but enough that in numbers their psykers can cast spells. Really feels like something the Old Ones made once it became clear that their psychic races were fucking with the Warp.

Every single 40k fanfiction, it's "Eldar are responsible for everything bad in the galaxy so we're going to wipe them out," then they xenocide the craftworlders, despite the craftworlders being the ones who resisted and were hunted down by the Eldar fucking everything up (even the fannon shit like causing the Iron Men revolt). Meanwhile, the Dark Eldar are left alone because they either "cool" or seen as an afterthought by most of the fanbase.

Yeah, the Craftworlders are assholes, but so are the Imperium. Craftworlders are noticeably less asshole-ish to Tau and Votann, though, so it may just be that they find the Imperium particularly disgusting.

The Titus release really confuses me, like, how many cheat rules do ultras have access to now?

-Revive on a character
-Surge Moves
-Reactive moves
-Double army rule
-Command point reduction spam
-Functionally limitless access to advance/fall back and charge
-"-1 to wound" deathballs
-charge from transport
-infiltrating scout units
-Smoke on any unit at any time

Like, marines are unequivocally the army with the biggest toolbox, no?

Wrong. Even now, the Drukhari are inventing and creating new technology. So are the Aeldari in a much slower pace.

Related excerpts from Wild Rider:

Necron side:
> The Watcher of the Dark could not see other overt signs of corruption and the notion seemed counter to her recollections of the aeldari that had been sent against the Crownworlds. The Galactic Engineers had brought this deadly new species into being with the specific intent for them to resist the counter-dimensional incursions.


Aeldai side:

>+She too will come,+ said Yddgara. +The skein resonates with the power of the Whispering God, and the dead listen. Our prehistory returns to cast its shadow over the living. The aeldari and the necrontyr have battled for eternity. Once both races combated theDark Powers, but they were turned upon each other by divisive and irreconcilable ambitions. The cycle turns again, slow but inevitable.+

>‘That is the largest ork I’ve ever seen,’ Savona murmured, staring up at a towering, twelve-metre-tall monstrosity that loomed in a nearby nook. ‘And his weaponry…’ The frozen creature wore a crude exoskeleton far in advance of anything the orks now might conceive of. Indeed, from his initial examination, Fabius suspected that it might be in advance of his own battleplate.

>‘A krork,’ he murmured. ‘One of the first orks. I read about them in the aeldari texts. I have long theorised that the orks are a form of organic weapons system – a rogue biological agent, unleashed during some ancient apocalyptic conflict. There’s too much about their internal workings that seems designed, rather than evolved.’

Dont need a clanker to think for me. Its cope to think the Eldar didnt come out in the best shape after the War in Heaven. While they didnt get a decisive victory in the sense of total genocide of the other major races, they absolutely suppressed them and became the sole super power of the galaxy:

The Eldar
-maintained their full power for 65 million years until the drug fueled hate fucking caught up with them (this is implied to have happened relatively quickly, it was not a slow decline as described by Vex), travelled the galaxy helping friendly aliens and suppressing unfriendly ones
-created a chaos god that threatens all of reality
-only ones to come out of war in heaven more or less unscathed and in their prime
-webway tech basically the most OP single tech in the entire galaxy (this is why the Emp identified it as the only way for humanity to become strong enough to contain chaos)

The Krorks
-devolved into barbarians that lost all their intelligence, culture, command structure, psychic potential etc
- were pushed to the fringes of space outside of areas valuable to the Eldar or its allied minor races

-The Necrons
-gods shattered after mind raping them for millenia, turned into dangerous batteries that want to kill them
-existential crises because they are all robots, most dont have the hardware for actual feelings. this is described many times where necron lords are feeling crybaby because their family members are little more than terminators at this point
-mental degredation and mass death/disfunction after millions of years in hibernation
-had to go to sleep because they didnt have the power to fight the Eldar

I think it's interesting how the Eldar seemed to be pretty chill for most of their history. Despite the memes, they seemed to be pretty tolerant, letting young races like humanity have plenty of breathing room while coming down hard on destructive ones like orks. Meanwhile, the Imperium wiped out most of the peaceful sentient lifeforms that remained after the Age of Strife during the crusades, leaving only the most violent behind.

The number of peaceful xenos in 40k is vanishingly smalle. They all stabbed humanity in the back during the AoS. One of the primary themes of 40k is that genocide is inevitable between races who are different. It's just a law of nature. Even if not in competition, even if there are something like 10 trillion planets in the Milky Way (though that number is much lower in 40k, in the millions range, due to all the planet cracking weapons that are thrown about), even if the planets they are evolved for are incompatible with the other, races will still desire to wipe each other out just because they look different.

>>97296763
you don't think there is a link between the level of damage sustained and their place in the galaxy after? The necrons literally don't have souls and the krorks devolved into shadows of themselves. literally only the Eldar retained their full power afterwards, basically inheriting the Old Ones place in the galaxy as top dogs.

The Eldar were a super power for 65 million years (current time line of 40k is about 5% of that number). The Imperium has been a super power for 10k years and is crumbling in the 42k timeline.

The Eldar were extremely multiculti pilled and had friendly xenos living on their planets and even the orthodox craftworlders had aliens living with them.

Racists: Barely 10k
Multiculti: 65 million

I think I know which side I would pick.

There is a difference between unusable and suboptimal. And considering 40k is an assymetric game, many "suboptimal" lists are very good into many different types of armies. What makes tournament lists optimized is they are designed to account for what is most popular in the competitive scene and bring counters. Thats something you dont really need to worry about in casual games because 1. even casual players who netdeck army lists will lag behind whats meta due to the time it takes to build and paint and 2. most people are bringing a few off meta units because they love them.

It only really matters if your army is clearly underpowered after many games at with your friends or LGS at which point maybe try swapping out stuff for other stuff. But if you your 30 rubrics has a 45% win rate or something after 30 games (which is more than most people play in a year) thats completely fine and fun for everybody.

Very true. I never understood the appeal of meta and building for optimal winning, I just like boots on the ground and tanks and bikes. Holy fuck do I love my bikes. I have been playing on and off since 3e - which I know people will immediately claim is a lie and demand I post minis, and I feel like each passing edition brings more of the always win mindset to the game. It is the same problem I had back when I use to play MtG, so it could really just come down to the fact that I have a mindset that does not work with how competitive players want the game to go. I want to bring /mydudes/ and have a fun and narrative battle. I want to take the time to build and paint my miniatures and to see them proudly displayed on the table, even if I am not as skilled in the hobby aspect as my opponents. I want to spend a few hours rolling dice and maybe even taking some of the game events and putting them into the fluff of my dudes.

I actually disagree with this. This shit peaked in 7E and the community basically rallied against it with the whole play by intent movement. Most LGS have people who know how to tailor their armies for the opponent to get fun, fair games for people of different skill levels. Honestly, most comp fags I've met in real life are great people to play with willing to take fluffy armies to give casual friends more equal footing against them. I think majority of 40k players in 10th know that maximizing fun is an important part of the cutlure, and the bad actors with the MTG mindset are a well hated and often mocked minority. DESU, 40k players in general also just have better hygiene than other types of nerds. I think the barrier of entry of money, time, arcane and esoteric rules, painting skill and theorycrafting filters a lot of the worst of nerd culture to the point the few who make it through are basically parented by the more functional community they attach too.
>>
>>97297245
>some of them were fun

that means good. Not everything needs to be deep to be good. Art is subjective, but we can at least take the authors intent for the work into some account by judging how "good" it is.

If the acting, writing, costume and set design, special effects etc achieve goal of making an entertaining superhero story then its good for what it is. No one is comparing Marvel: Civil War to Clockwork Orange or No Country for Old Men or some shit, but compare it to shit like the snyder Justice League movie and you can really tell the difference in quality.

Its like saying your moms cheesy chicken cassarolle (adjust for whatever your favorite childhood meal is) thats made with a bunch of on sale ingredients and canned goods isnt good because it isnt mad by a gourmet chef despite being delicious and filling.

Before I go further into discourse I want to thank you for this conversation, Anon. It has been a very rough week and while I would prefer not to go into detail- even as an Anon, this helps distract me a bit.

With that said and done I think you are probably right. I am currently operating with a depressive pall of pessimism over my mind and everything seems fucking awful. I agree that there are plenty of comp players who are very chill and fun to play with, provided they do not let their competitive side get too strong. Really, 10th is not that awful, outside the named/heroic characters being lynchpins to armies and the psyker phase being gutted. Besides, who knows what the next edition will bring and if 11th is shit, well just need to wait three years for 12th. Or play something else using 40k minis.

The common "stabbed in the back" by xenos meme isn't even used in-universe by the Imperium as a justification for its xenophobia. I'm sure it happened, but it wasn't all that common. It's pure fanon used by Imperium fanboys, with a dash of /pol/ thrown in for good measure, just like the fanon that the proto-craftworlders were the ones who introduced scrap-code into the Men of Iron causing them to revolt.
>>
>>97297376

And if you're eating xenos for tactical info there's a purity issue.
One of the Ventris novels had a sergeant eat a pathfinder so he could fly a tetra back to its base and shoot an ethereal's dropship with a seeker missile, bit then he had to get looked over by the chaplain.
>>
>>97296725
>Meanwhile, the Imperium wiped out most of the peaceful sentient lifeforms that remained after the Age of Strife during the crusades, leaving only the most violent behind.
I often see this argument thrown around but it doesn't make any sense and falls apart when you realise that other than the Orks (which at any rate were a Galactic irrelevance for centuries after Ullanor) every major violent xenos species didn't emerge until after the Great Crusade was over. Ironically a better argument could be made for the Great Crusade having eliminated the violent xenos and leaving behind the most reasonable xenos like the Eldar and Votann if one were to only look at the games major factions.

Given the whole psychic awakening aspect of Old Night, with humans suddenly exploding into warp portals, wouldn't "stabbing them in the back" at that point have been a perfectly reasonable measure if you were the government on a multicultural world with a human minority?

Regular imperial citizens already go around killing rogue psykers within the Imperium because they know and recognize the danger they pose.

That doesn't negate what I wrote, the majority of the violent xenos running about in 40k either weren't around during the Great Crusade or they were rendered irrelevant for a considerable time. Meanwhile two of the most reasonable xenos factions are ones which survived the Great Crusade. Therefore the allegation that 99% of xenos are hostile because all the peaceful ones were killed during the Great Crusade is demonstratably false if one were to simply consider the xenos factions currently playable in the game.

Even if they don't know about daemons they are aware of the fact that the warp is dangerous in other ways, like the way it mutates.

Yes actually and I think this makes the game more flavourful. But its also largely irrelevant to the actually important xenos factions in the game, except for some of the Tau's auxiliaries.

Not necessarily true.
The most violent and threatening xenos factions like Orks, Necrons, and Tyranids were absent for the Great Crusade, and would be gunning to genocide humans whether humans were peaceful or not. Votann, Eldar, and Tau likely would be peaceful (most of the time) if humanity didn’t go about genociding everyone, but they generally act more as nuisances compared to the big three xenos factions and the renegade humans.

Every campaign book is getting 6 detachments and they're all split 3 and 3 across two factions, right?
SO from what we know it should be something like:
>500 Worlds
3 Space Marines and 3 Necrons
>The Maelstrom
3 Chaos Space Marines and 3 Aeldari
>The Eye of Terror
3 Chaos Space Marines and 3 Adeptus Mechanicus
>Armageddon
3 Imperial Guard and 3 Orks

they really need to redo the crisis suit kit again. regular crisis suits are like half the size of the new commander/farsight/twins suits and also dont have hands and are a bit boxy and simple

i would love if they did a new crisis suit kit in the style of the new commander twins and farsight suits and hell throw in the onager gauntlet and fusion blade options for mass production for a melee suit variant too while we're at it.

I just want Greys as another army
Make them inbetween of Tau and Eldar playstyle
Strong psykers unlike Tau, but weak in melee unlike Eldar

no no fuck all that noise my fucking doods didn't just weather cyclion ion blasters and plasma and nova charged plasma and railguns just to get bodied by onager gauntlets and fusion blades. I still have fucking flashbacks to 9th edition commander suits with full reroll to hits and rerolls to wounds with their S12 onager FUCK THAT

Funnily enough I'm reading the Ragnar Blackmane novels right now and just came across this line:
>Some were the homes of a tall beautiful yet utterly alien people called the eldar.
If Ragnar thinks they're hot it can't be that bad.

Battlesuits should embrace shoulderguns once more. Melee is fine too, just make it a little different. Something like "yeah this guy has a hammer with an explosive warhead on it so you can use the full strength profile only once per match" or something.

I wish Eldar had a character half as interesting as Alarak

He is PURE. FUCKING. SEX.
Easily my favourite character in all of Starcraft, only just beating Abathur.

It's a damn shame the Visarch is a characterless simp. Total waste of a fantastic model.
I don'y know what they were smoking with the Ynnari novels but there was no better way to ruin a faction than to write those.
>>
>>97298224
Your models are garbage, fuck off back to the noose.

Visarch is pretty awesome if you ignore the Gav DeepThrope novels, which you always should. Ignore everything he writes lmao

They're supposed to be smaller. If you get bigger crisis suits, then should broadsides be scaled up as well? If anything, I think the commander suits are too big. I can see new crisis suit kits only to separate the variants (Fireknife, Sunforge, and whatever that 3rd one is) assuming they're keeping these separated for 11th edition. GW can continue charging absurd prices with less parts/bits.

If anything ought to be resculpted I would want new firewarriors/pathfinders. They're no longer in the less-heroic proportions many other infantry models are in like the new guard and even Darkstrider.

>>97298099
I would have preferred a Longknife resculpt over the shitty new twins.

Meanwhile anti-ai fags are objectively enlightened gigachads on the issue
