Depends how you use it.

If you are playing with actual friends in a private place then just ask them.

However during a pickup game against a walk in at a shop you may want to ask or use it once as a joke and see how it goes over.

Oh you are that Anon.

Anywhere that gives you shit about running the ORK army you want to run is a bunch of cunts. You should play what you want to play and if that is Dark Angels now, play the shit out of it. If they said your list looks decent then build it up and study the tactics. The good thing about Ravenwing is that you can probably find more Batreps covering them then a Forgeworld Dread Mob in seventh edition.

>>43518865
Well first off, your gravity's all fucked up.

Lascannons take a wound every 2 shots, any Russ blast template can usually take a wound per shot.
Scions can go through their save, but you'd still need ~10 shots per wound. Devil Dogs give an auto wound on 2+, so they can do some serious damage to a pack of three fexes, but will otherwise be murdered the turn after. One with a melta up front can get an extra wound.
A Taurox Missile launcher can shoot krak rounds for wounds at 48".

But your goal is plasma. High strength, low AP, usually blasts, to offset your low BS.
An executioner plasma cannon is able to melt through a shit ton of wounds on anything.
And, as always, Pask with a Punisher Cannon can shit out 20 accurate shots with rending. 11 normal S5 hits, and 2 rending auto-wounds.

Don't list tailor to beat Nids, unless he's bringing a lot of Flyrants. Then he's a powergaming dick.

Hey you seem like an AM bro so I am gonna ask a question.

In my cousins 1000pt list he has Pask in a Punisher and ONE Exterminator buddy in the command squadron. He also has another Exterminator Leman Russ for heavy support. Does he really need a 2nd Exterminator. It seems like a lot of Anti Infantry to bring.

Hey guys, I was playing a game with my Daemons army recently against my Eldar buddy.

My warlord was the D thirster, and it went to engage his Wraithknight in melee.

Now it survived with about half its wounds and went to swing his weapon. At that point I stopped however, and said "hang on, his warlord trait is Death Incarnate. Since I do D3 wounds per hit with this thing, do each of the wounds cause a further D3 wounds?"

My friend thought about it but said he had no idea.

What's the consensus on this /tg/? We are kind of stumped.

so if you had all 8 hit but only do d3 wounds you would do... somewhere between 8 and 24 wounds. if they were all death blows you could do between.. 56 and 288 wounds? my math is off but you get the point that the bloodthrister will kill damn near everything if it survives to i1

I'm of the school of thought that vehicles are the 2nd worst idea in 40K, right behind Monstrous Creatures, and just ahead of the Tau. If him and his opponent can agree to keep it to a minimum, they'll have more fun.

But, if it's a general list, go with the ratio of 1 tank to 1.5~2 infantry squads. Tanks need meat-shields and he needs objective humpers.
Tanks can't make their points back fighting termagaunts or other enemies where there's nothing but a fuckload of wounds to chew through, but that 30 lasgun shots for 50 points will go a long way, especially when there's 3 other squads also shooting.

This isn't a hard and fast rule, however. Some armies, like the DEldar, exist in two states: "On a Transport" and "Fucked," so there's always a variance between armies and playstyles.

Is there any proper counter to a librarian conclave with Invisibility + Imperial Knight build?

I play either Skitarii/Cult Mechanicus or vanilla CSM.
>>
>>43519908
It's not a Dark Vengeance kind of thing, where one can be interested in one faction and so, sell the other.
People that buy this, will use all of it. You may find some of them, maybe a squad or a single mini every now or then, for people that maybe don't need that many of that thing or the other, but it would be at a fair price, and you'll have many competitors.

It's easier to just get the box.
>>
>>43519920
If you aren't opposed to slashing out for a box or two of harlequins, I find if you deck out a squad with embraces they make an incredible anti deathstar unit. They tend on to HITS of six.

He certainly has a hard on for Tanks and other IG transports. Besides those three tanks in his 1000 point list all he has is two units of vets in chimeras.

I am also going to him a Taurox Prime with a Scion Command Sqaud + 5 Scions along with two Wyverns.

For his 1000-1500 I do think he will be light on troops.

His group caps out at 1850 but since he will be the fourth player I am pretty sure they will play teams more. Luckily they don't seem really competitive.

Budget better

There are certainly better mediums to use than wood to make a Warlord Titan. A slab of decent quality clay is ~$20 for like two pounds of the stuff and you can bake it in your oven if you don't have a kiln.

From a lore perspective.. How are the imperial guard any good at all? I was reading about them and apparently the guardsmen have shitty equipment that typically doesn't do much. They are not very well trained and they typically don't have any special modifications and such like the space marines.

HOW DOES ANYTHING GET DONE?! I even hear from a table top perspective that they are not very good. They have some value units I guess but the lot of their units are shit? What am I missing?

I am just getting into warhammer lore and already I am thinking "How is this faction even alive?!"

Guardsmen are the scale by which every other faction is measured. They get by with grit and bodies, and are capable of a surprising amount.
>>
>>43520979
What the fuck are you reading? Guards having shit equiment is a meme. A lasgun is able to blow off a arm in one shot and penetrate concrete, and Flak armour is like current bulletproof jackets on steroids.

Even the "not very well trained" is bullshit. Yes, you have conscripts, but then you have catachans who are pretty much an army of Ramboes, and Cadians are basically supersoldiers compared to today's soldiers.

The problem is that they usually fight things that laught at weapons that penetrate concrete and use rapid fire rocket launchers as a main weapons.

space marines can't be everywhere and they aren't for holding ground. the enemies guardsmen fight are ridicious. fungi men that keep fighting when you blow off limbs. space elves with guns that turn men into swiss cheese. communist mecha pilots with big guns. supermen covered in spikes and supermen that you thought were only legends. psykers that can flay the skin off a man. impossible "creatures" from hell. rape elves and more.

the average guardsmen is given a gun, some basic armor, some months or years of training then shipped off to fight against those things that go bump in the night. his equipment while serviceable isn't that impressive and their tanks are made by future Ikea who sometimes forget to read swedish.

all guardsmen being elite troops is humanity fuck yeah nonsense but they're not all uneducated thieves, they are somewhere in between

Hey teeg, do you guys have any recommendations on an army carrying case? I've got about 80 models of Orks one tank and a stompa. I don't need the stompa to fit in the case, I just thought to mention it on the off chance there is an appropriate case in existance somewhere. My FLG carries the GW ones but holy shit are they expensive. Nigga, I got orks to feed!

Firstly, unless there are no other gaming groups in your area, just go and find another one that DOES allow Dread Mobb. All the ones in my area aren't funny about FW shit.

Secondly, if you want to play a Dread Mobb army without getting funny looks you could always use the formation in the waaagh Ghazkgull supplement.

I'm surprised no one told you about this? Would let you run pretty much an entire dread mobb, though it does require 2 Orkanaughts. You could always just play smaller point games until you get them though.

>pic related.

If you fully flesh it out it will make up most of your army in a 1850 point list.

As it's just a supplement, so no FW, no one should be a dick against playing it.

Kanz made the most of the D3 Hammer of Wrath hits.

I'd also suggest adding a cad w/ some Boyz to make use of the FnP on the Painboy and some Grotz for the Big Mek to sit in w/ a Shokk Attack gun.

Also take a Warboss with Da Finkin Kap and make him your warlord.

This can let you get 2 Warlord traits from the Strategic table which is way better than the Ork one for this list AND let you call a Waaagh once per game so all you're machines can run AND charge in the same turn.

You better actually read this as it seems the perfect solution to your problem if you don't want to switch to a different gaming group.

A phosphor spray down is always good, but as you say the other options are very good too. You should try magnetising the options and testing them out in the field to make your decision. Shouldn't be difficult with either the shoulder mounts or fists.
>>
>>43521489
Couple of basic tips.
1. Buy good paints. People here will have their favorites but as long as you get paints meant for miniatures, you'll be solid. If you're not sure what brands to get, citadel paints are not a bad place to start.

2. Get decent brushes. You don't need 20 dollar brushes, but a nice soft brush will go a long way in the final product. I personally prefer natural hair brushes over synthetics, but your mileage may vary.

3. Be neat with your first works. The idea is to get basic brush strokes/handling done. Slow gentle strokes are a great way to start until you've built up confidence. Stay within the lines and you'll be fine.

4. Thin your paints. Thin paints will require more coats but its easier to control and ends up better than slopping thick paint onto the model.

Hope this helps

>>43521705
First, the GW ones are pretty standard prices, so you are not gonna find more some much more cheaply.

Second look at KR multicase for a good alternative.
>>
>>43521726
Also just to add, if you were gonna go this route, Killa Kanz are fucking ace at low point games.

Taking a Squad of 6 w/ Grotzookas lets you shred any infantry you want and also threaten Termies / MC's who will either have trouble penning your armour or strike after you.

I think I would enjoy painting minis like this but not neccesarily playing only because I don't live near a table top store.

Anyone got any ideas for a good cheap load out for a Necron Lord on foot? Was going to run like a 1000 point list. Was wondering what's a good balance of points for a usable overlord in an army that size.

1 Ghost Ark
5 Immortals
3 Tomb Blades

Nope, those all look like 30K terms. I think this is meant for all the non-FW kiddies to have a shot at playing 30K with out the huge price tag. So I'm guessing this is all kind of proxy 30k with 40k toys. Whatever I don't have any marines to try this out anyway.

Holy shit how is it even possible to be as dumb a dumb nigger as you are being right now?

Obviously they use the names of the new fucking models. They just shoehorned them into a 40k dataslate you ignorant slut. It says Warhammer 40,000 across the top of the fucking page.

> I think this is meant for all the non-FW kiddies to have a shot at playing 30K with out the huge price tag. So I'm guessing this is all kind of proxy 30k with 40k toys.

Anybody whining about the new Tau being OP can kiss my blue fishy ass. I've just come back from a tournament and Tau have nothing on the bullshit I've seen.
Like Necrons. Just fucking Necrons. Did you know that Orican gives wraiths reanimation even when nor near the spyder because some chucklefuck judge in ETC misread their own FAQ and ruled it that way, so now every tournament that uses the same rules has to play it that way. I bet my whole army that if you parked a fucking Wsrlorad Titan across the board from Orican and wraiths and fired ever weapon at them, you might kill at most two or three. And God help you if you don't have sD, because nothing else will even scratch them.
Or how about 50 man blobs or conscripts with a Librarius Conclave and 4 Space Wolf characters that cast invisibility and 3++ saves on 2+ and use the conscripts to block up charge lanes so they can declare multi charge on units on completely opposite directions.

Compared to that spreading rerolls and ignores cover is barely enough to make Tau passably good, and even then a single wraith unit will just eat your entire army's shooting and kill you in melee.

Howling Banshees x6
2x Fire Dragons squad (6 minis) Finecast
Dark Reapers x10 (inc. 2 exarchs) - Finecast

Not good enough to run solo.

I have tried running mono aspect warriors before and it doesn't really work. It sounds great on paper but they really are better as support formations, not as the core of your army.

If you wanted, you could go minimum size squad on the guardians and stick them in wave serpents and bring along plenty of tanks or aspect warrior shrines as backup. That can work.

That's just if you stick to the Warhost though. You can just go CAD but your bonuses won't be as good. You could run Dire Avengers in troops, which is great but no +1 BS from being in the formation.

What are you thinking so far?

The wood in and of itself probably wont cost much, because I get cherry, maple, black walnut and zebrawood pretty cheap where I live. It's the tools, time, glue, and untold number of rebuilds it'll probably need to be presentable (unless you're just a god-tier woodworker, in which case why the fuck aren't you making cool woodworking shit for big bucks). Woodworking isn't quite as expensive as 40K, but it's not cheap by any stretch.

>>43522484
Run them in both the HQ slots. But then you don't get farseers.

If you take them in the Warhost you can just add them in without sacrificing anything.

This is why I feel the Warhost is generally the best way to go, but that's just me.

An old friend of mine is joining me for the weekend, and he is bringing his old army. He is playing Orcs, and I played Tau, but have focused on Farsight Enclaves. My current "regular" list would shit on him, since everyone in my meta runs hordes, and he hasn't played since the beginning of 5th edition.

Give me a good type of list I can bring against that that will be a fun match. I was thinking of maybe going Farsight in a blob of 9 bodyguard crisis suits without any weapons. Any ideas on how to expand on this idea? I don't care how awful it sounds, I just want to make a dumb as fuck army list that can make for an interesting and funny game.

I have questions regarding humanity's psychic dawn. Let's say it goes far better than anyone could have ever predicted, no grimdark/Tzeenthian catch or double-edged sword nonsense. What happens next? I know that Imperial society would have to change a lot in some aspects. I like to imagine guardsmen firing their flashlights and the enemy not only sees thousands of lights coming their way but also sees mind bullets behind the lasers. And Commissars guiding the guardsmen with their minds to aim their flashlights at an enemy hiding behind cover. What does a fully psychic humanity mean for the space marines? Would they all be Librarians? Would the Grey Knights stop being a chapter and become a Legion? What about the Sisters?

One aspect of Imperial society that would change is viewing psykers as mutants. When everyone is a psyker how are they mutants? Would not being a psyker make you a mutant?

What does it mean for the Emperor? Would his job be easier? I recall a picture from the 2E Eldar dex that said when Khaine was broken fragments of him were like leaves slowly falling or something like that into the minds of Eldar. Would Emps do something like that to himself so guiding humanity would be easier? I just picture him screaming in your mind to get you to stop fapping and do something productive. Would protecting humanity be easier for him?

And is it going to happen in the next thousand years or so? If anyone from the times before the psychic dawn manages to live to see it, would they become a psyker? Like Dante for example. Would he become a psyker too or still a normal space marine? Would the traitor marines living in the Eye become psykers? I don't see the World Eaters taking to it well being Khornate and all, and the Nails in their heads would probably make things messy. What would Rubric marines?

It's like an alternative from CAD.

You can take everything it says in the formation I linked so you can have both Dreads and Kanz.

Also you dont need the supplement, just use that picture and remember the rules.

They are pretty simple as it's only 3 rules for the whole formation.
>>
>>43520878
yes, play Dark Angels, this is what I am thinking:

The first legion had a lot of "traitors" in their ranks during the HH, later called the Fallen.
So if you are going to paint the dudes from the box in black and silver with optional FW upgrades, you can play them in the following ways:

30k - 1st Legion (loyalist and traitors; but there are no rules until Februrary, afaik)
40k - Dark Angels or their successor chapter Consecrators ("[they] are known to favour older patterns of power armour and wargear"). The content should help you to build a Demi Company, with Dark Vengeance + addon(s) you can probably build whatever you need.
40k - Dataslate Cypher - Play Cypher with three squads of Fallen in any human, non Dark Angel army
40k - Chaos Space Marines - Build Havocs with rocket launchers, use the rest as Tactical/Chosen, Chaos Lord, Apostle, Terminator squads, Helbrute etc, you get the idea.

You could add some vehicles like FW Rhinos or Land Raiders.

The flexibility is priceless.

Everything fuels Chaos. No matter who you are, you're empowering Chaos, unless you don't have a soul but killing empowers Khorne so you're not empowering all of the Four. Khornates lust for more excessive bloodshed. Slaaneshis despair when they can no longer feel anything. Tzeentchians rage when their plans have been ruined. Nurglites bring change to unspoiled worlds and their healthy populations. So all Chaos followers are Undivided worshippers in denial.

>>
>>43523211
Yes all of them, probably except solitaires who might be pariahs.
>>
>>43523211
Yup. All Eldar (Dark Eldar excluded) are at least mildly psychic.

All of their technology is psychic too, so they would have to be a psyker to interact with it.

Now, not everyone is a strong enough psyker to piss lightning but if you go the path of the seer you can augment this power and become very powerful.

Every Eldar has the potential to become a Farseer.

Otherwise they just use their psychic abilities as a mild ward against Slaanesh. It isn't strong enough to be registered really so that's why every Eldar on TableTop isn't mastery level one.
>>
>>43523211
Yes. All Eldar are pyskers. Naturally. DEldar's psychic powers have dwindled to near nothing though.
>>43523236
Knowing about Chaos fuels it slightly more and being devoted to a Chaos Gods fuels it more when you perform actions that aligne with the God's portfolio. But the infighting is a given.
>>
>>43522423
>>43523090
Actually just because you seem bummed out about giving up Orks and I enjoy them a lot myself I'm just gonna spell it out for you.

Here's what a list with this formation might look like:

1500 points:

Ork CAD

///HQ///

Warboss, Da finkin Cap, Big Choppa, Boss Pole - 85 points

///Troops///

10 Ork Boyz - 60 points
>Boss & Pain Boy go here

10 Gretchin - 35 points
>Big Mek goes here

///Dread Mobb formation (Waaaagh Ghazkgull)///
Big Mek, Ammo Runt, Shokk Attack gun - 90 points

Pain Boy - 50 points

3 Killa Kanz, Rokkit Launchers - 150 points

3 Killa Kanz, Rokkit Launchers - 150 points

3 Killa Kanz, Rokkit Launchers - 150 points

Deff Dreadd, 2 Rokkit Launchers - 80 points

Deff Dreadd, 2 Rokkit Launchers - 80 points

Deff Dreadd, 2 Rokkit Launchers - 80 points

Gorkanaught - 245 points

Gorkanaught - 245 points

So this would be a 1500 point list with a Dread Mobb with NO Forgeworld stuff and completely battleforged! No one would have any reason to not play your list as it has nothing cheesy at all.

Assuming you already had a dread mobb army all you'd need is the Gorkanaughts, but you can play small point games just fine until then as the Kanz alone cost 450 points.

and if you want to expand the list it's as simple as adding more upgrades or Killa Kanz, and you have a whole 3 HS slots on the CAD to experiment with.

Don't bother with Dark Angels. They are gay secret marines and Orks are funner to play.

I'm gonna play EC for which the terminators kind of suck and I'm more interested in the marines than the dread and characters. Others have said that they're more interested in the terminators and dread because their legion favors them, they already have marines, or they prefer mk2-3.

Unless you buy some pretty old models everything will be plastic or resin for ya.

Most wargear you can use you can get by with putting the gear attached to an arm, like for example with pistols.

You have three arms with three pistols each, with one torso to attach to.

The shoulders of the arms and torso are magnetized (hopefully in the same directions where they attract each other) so you can flip them out for what you pay for.

Magnetizing mini's for plastics and most everything on assumption means drilling a hole and seating a magnet.

Red Scorpions and Minotaurs are known for being able to produce MkIV armor in 40k, so making a MkIV-based successor chapter from BaC is not at all unreasonable.

before i get into this
what's the general opinion on using various toys as proxies
or at least modified toys to look more like the actual models
>>
>>43521060
It's 600 points, do you play games where you need a 600 point super heavy?
Or do you just want to build/paint it.
>>
>>43524015
So long as it bears resemblance it's good for casual and league play.
The important part is that it's close in height and on the appropriate base for the actual model.

Tournaments get more finicky.

Ending up buying Betrayal at Calth, tempted to buy that Forgeworld upgrade kit as well but I'll have to pass. I've got a question for anyone who might know (I forgot to ask in store): is the contemptor dreadnought compatible with the forgeworld stuff? I was thinking about buying some Kheres assault cannons for it.
>>
>>43524486
you have to cut the arm up in order to add FW weapons on the contemptor. its a bit work but its nothing that is really hard.
>>
>>43519974
Just like Dark Vengeance (and every other big GW box) there will be lots of people, who buy these at a discount and sell all parts for a meager profit.
Most of the sprues on ebay, IMO, are not from people who needed only half the box.

Should also note that Farseers are as powerful as they are in spite of having to be constantly ready to shut out the Warp as to avoid getting ganked by She-Who-Thirsts.

One of the cool ideas coming out of the Path books was that a seer's runes work as psychic fuses that hold malign forces off long enough for the Farseer to cut the connection and ensure their mental defenses are up.
>>
>>43524577
Is it attatched at the shoulder rather than the upper arm?
>>
>>43524618
the whole warm including the weapon is 2 pieces which you put together. sideways... so you have 1 half of a arm with melta and the other half.

so you have to glue it together, then cut off at the elbow of his in order to attach the FW stuff
>>
>>43523838
Holy shit! That's a goddamn great idea. Has anybody told you they love you today? Because I love you. I've been really wanting to make an infantry-heavy Red Scorpions army because Apothecaries are my favorite SM characters. Having Loth available doesn't hurt either.

>>43521846
No, you can buy primer ment to be used with a brush.

Be careful unlike the normal paints, I found Citadel Imperial primer to be shit as it rubs off the models easily, I recommend Vallejo Surface primer.

Also if you are a beginner, be sure to watch a how to take care of your brushes vid, as they need some care.

Start with only a couple of paints, so you do not spend a 100 on them.

Learn what a wash/shade is, they can really make models look greater easily (Tip: Agrax Earthshade on Leadbelcher gives a worn metal look)
>>
>>43523467
Yes in most cases I find it easier to have some "spare" dudes, so I can change between weapons easier than making three sets of tiny arms for one dude.

As a daemons play, whats the best way to avoid getting shot at, and give examples how. I know, stay in cover or block LoS, but actually strategys to get as close as possible with as minimal projectile contact.
I thought of outflanking seekers then deepstriking, but what else?
>>
>>43524699
Different anon, but download Imperial Armour four second edition. They get unique relics in there and more unique characters. And it's all up to date for seventh.
>>
>>43525001
Invisiblity is your best friend.

Deepstrike Skarbrand and cast invisibility on him. Watch the enemy dedicate a truly retarded amount of firepower to get away, or just leg it and muck up their gun line/ LOS/ whatever.

Just personal experience.

The same applies to an invisible group of seekers outflanking with a herald. Your enemy will either not know what it does and lose a fucktonne of points to it, or does know what it does and will fucking leg it or fire shitloads at it.

Either way it's a win win.

Alright /tg/, I'm starting up a Renegades and Heretics army, but I don't got a clue if I should use Cadians+spikes, or Cultists. I'm going with a Bloody-handed Reaver for my Demagogue, if it's any help.
>>
>>43525016
Thanks for the idea, I'll do that today. I was debating between a Wraith Host with Dark Eldar allies and a Space Marine army, and honestly Red Scorpions would be awesome AND a lot cheaper thanks to the Calth minis...because money sadly is an issue for me (but I'm trying to be less poor)
>>
>>43525210
cultists, cadians with spikes look takky unless you really enjoy doing conversions, and spend a fair bit of dosh to do it right.
>>
>>43525248
Just to be crystal clear, I don't mean literal Cadians with spikes, I mean Chaos themed Cadians. Stuff like red armor, blood splatters and other Chaos-ey stuff is what I would give them.
>>
>>43525302
again, itel look like shit unless you spend a lot of time converting them

Do cultists for now, and spend that time converting tanks, which imo are a lot more fun to work with.

Don't know if you know about this, but they have their own model line on Forge World, including bits to make your own squads.

Thing is, the Guardsmen arent the average. Thats the Planetary Defence Force, for example. Of course the special guys of the IG are better than a Navy Seal. We are just a planet, they are the best from the best in a galactic Imperium wich is actually edgy enough to allow you to train them in ways no Navy Seal would believe. I mean, look at Catachan. Regular guys among the IG. Everyone is Rambo. And Kriegers. Really, if you read about Guardsmen, they are fucking awesome. Is just that everyone compare to them to marines, who are demigods of battle, angels of death in power armor. If you want our "average" soldiers in 40k, look for the guys with WS/BS 2.
>>
>>43525461
Also people tend to forget that all of the playable regiments of the imperial guard ARE the elites. Literally, Cadians and all the guys who have models are the best of the best of the imperial guard.
>>
>>43525461
A conscript is considered BS/WS2. An Infantryman is considered BS/WS3.

While there is a difference, Guardsmen being the top 10% of BILLIONS of PDF doesn't necessarily make them better than our troops today.
>>
>>43519401
Are you gonna argue with the Emperor
>>
>>43525461
Nah, I ain't buying it. If the IG were all DEVGRU, Chaos rebellions would pose no trouble, and nobody would use the Guards for meat-shields.

>>43525461

in fact, consider the "3" attribute to be equivalent to a D&D "10" when it comes to the standard for human beings/normal creatures

The Fallen were the loyalists. Lionel decided to align with Horus late in the game. Before he was exposed, the traitors were defeated and Horus killed. The showdown at the rock was the inner circle running damage control. Lionel dipped out in shame, Luther - the leader of the loyalist DA was kept under lock and key, and the ranking traitors quietly decided that maybe being a traitor wasnt the best decision.
So the Fallen are hunted due to the enormity of the secret they keep. Cypher also knows the truth, but is ashamed and disgusted (though still loyal) to his Legion.

Sorry but DA are kinda shady, spineless chumps.

The armor looks pretty similar to the stuff in the plastic 30k box...so that's good. I think maybe I'll buy the Forgeworld Apothecaries

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-IE/Space-Marine-Apthecary-Set

And then use those as the leaders of the plastic squads. We'll see. I think this might be more fun than playing a Wraith Host at least...

Got a source on any of that? Corroborating evidence? Circumstantial clues? Anything more than the word of a desperate heretic trying to weasel out of his fate?

It is well established that Astelan was full of shit. If Fateweaver couldn't offer the Lion anything (not "was turned down," Fateweaver wasn't even able to come up with anything besides a bunch of pretty sounding words), what did Horus have?

Seriously, I'm curious what your idea for how any of the Traitor Lion theory makes sense is. Might be interesting.
>>
>>43525461

You are overselling it a bit. Marines aren't demigods and being the best of the PDF means you weren't so crippled by space rickets that you couldn't lift your bayonet anymore. IG will take any 15 year old that can aim straight, "train" them by telling them complete lies about what they're fighting and then hilariously waste them on a meat grinder battlefield due to nightmare bureaucracy. There's a reason why "quantity has a quality of its own" comes up a lot in IG fluff.

I can't believe people are getting assblated about a named hero killing a score of humans. That is one of the most modest feats in 40k.

It's only conscripts that get that bullshit as they're quickly trained on the ship towards their war. The guardsmen you actually play on the table are guys that volunteered and have had proper training, with veterans being the best of the best outwith storm troopers.

There is nothing to really be disgruntled about ofcourse the new tau book would suck off the tau's own dick. Power level has nothing to do with any of it, only marketing of certain models. Nothing can even be considered "Canon" when you have this large fuckton huge mess of writers who cant figure out a reasonable scale to use together.
