Let's start this thread off with some bingo! The free tile for today is: "tau player bragging about 5 riptides in a casual game"

Got the mail today, boys

Alright everyone, go ahead and mark off Sisters of Battle on your boards.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ooji9TfLqMNkFiVWJOTldMY1k
Has either Orkanauts been seen in any Dawn of War 3 footage yet?
They said they were there, but I've only seen the Deff Dreads so far.
Thank you to the anons from the last thread that responded about me starting an army of Tau vs Space Marines.
I think I've settled on Salamanders w/ Legion of the Damned added in. Is this a good idea? I know nothing of 40k and I'm just going on aesthetics.
Also, what are some kits to start out with? The only thing I'm sure of is that I want Vulkan, even if I don't play him the model is dope.
Thanks duders
>>47998527
What the fuck am I reading? Is this real? By the Emperor have I now witnessed the light?
>>47998599
>I'm just going on aesthetics.
Thats a good idea. You pay out your ass, so better buy those you like.
For HQ I suggest a librarian. they are the most versatile.
Other than that, start with a tactical squad or two and some droppods or razorbacks.
If you buy razorbacks, you can use them as rhinos, too because the turret and the plate it is on can be swapped easily with the hatch of the rhino, if you glue the two halves together. So do not buy rhinos! The price difference is just too small.
>>47998600
No, you're witnessing homebrew that nobody will allow because they're all "practicing" for ITC.
>>47998543
Ah shit, thanks for reminding me that fucking unit still exists.
>>47998543

>>47998744
Ah, carry on glorious battle brother. But please, they need something more.. They need a full Decurion, and get rid of that hilariously retarded restriction on the Relentless devastators formation.
> Moar Options
> Make Death Cult Assassins "power weapons", not just "power swords"

> Make them Toughness 4 and Strength 4, make them cost -slightly- more than space marines
I've always thought Sisters of Battle should just essentially be female space marines, and borderline magical girls. They should be toughness 4 and S4, because their faith and devotion in the emperor grants them strength and determination beyond their mortal coil.
>>47998771
>Wraithknights
But they have been seen in the trailer.
>>47998805
eldar are said to be tougher and stronger then humans. S3 T3
>>47998845
To be fair that's eldar faggots trying to claim that they're 1st age Noldor elves from Lotr. No, they're not tougher and stronger than humans, they're just faster. Fluff should be there to support the crunch, not the other way around, as that invites poor game design.
Is there a reason why Tyranids don't have a Tau Overwatch equivalent?
It seems like a single mind would be able to react to a portion of it's body being attacked with other portions of its body
>>47998907
Google hive mind, get acquainted with the term, then check out basic tyranid fluff.
I would look forward to playing against Eldar if their players cared about the modeling side of the hobby half as much as they cared about winning.
>>47998907
i feel like this is the start of a meme... also nids came out before gw realized how much they liked overwatch
>>47998796
>Still no reason to take Celestians
We're working on it. Do you have any suggestions?
>Immolators have no fire point
I think he copied it from the codex, which has no fire point listed in the rules. It'll be fixed.
>No point adjustments to power weapons despite S3/I3
Do IG power weapons cost less or something? Statline point values are handled in the model, not the wargear.
>Repentia still drop dead at any signs of S6
I think the plan is to make FNP base and EW the AoF.
>>47999063
>I think he copied it from the codex, which has no fire point listed in the rules. It'll be fixed.
The codex says zero fireports, the FAQ said a single model can shoot.
>Still no reason to take Celestians
Maybe make them inspiring for the normal SoB. Other then that, I don't know. its not like they ever had models or something anyway.

Yes but I like it even if it is smaller
>>47999192
FW needs to fuck off with this admech and solar auxilia infantry shit.
If you're going to make non-marine shit in marines: the marine-ening, at least make them cool models like the big robots or the ogryns and auxilia tanks.
Veletaris are okay because they are maximus swagimus.
>>47999249
I don't even play sisters. I've been saying for quite awhile now that if sisters players want a decent army, they should just represent their own team of "Badass girls in power armour" using Codex: Space Marines, as it does a better job of representing that idea than the actual SOB codex.
At their core, they were always supposed to be "Female Space Marines". You know it, I know it, GW knows it.
>>47999120
Honestly, I was never really sure what they were supposed to do. They're like more expensive Battle Sisters or Seraphim without jump packs or something. My idea was to make them Terminators (for cheap, obviously, because Terminators are garbage even with T4 and SoB don't even have a transport that can carry them), but that didn't seem to go over well.
>>47999301

There are rumors what Securitarii do? Please do tell.

Next BaC will be skitarii!
What kind of units do you guys buy at your local Warhammer store. I stick to the stuff under $40 just to support them really. I also buy the paints because citadel paints are the same price at the store as online.
>>47998527
Chorus of the Faithful is fucking absurd. All it will do is force people to exclusively run Blessings and Conjurations against your Sisters, and those were already generally the better option.
Why on Earth did you keep that retarded "every squad has to have each heavy weapon" restriction on the Retributor formation?
>>47999388
It was said at Warhammerfest, I think. The dudes with shields increase their invuln save based on how many dudes are in base to base. Their spears shoot lightning. The dudes with big guns apparently have grenade launchers of some kind.
They're supposed to be Titan Guard, the guys who walk under the titan and make sure nobody gets close.
>>47999233
You have to practice so you don't end being a complete retard with your list in terms of target priorities, unit synergies and playing to the objectives
>>47999413
Mostly just paints. If my army didn't have so much FW stuff in it and I had to buy GW HQs, I'd probably buy them from the store so I can inspect the finecast for bubbles.
>>47999249
>Eternal Warrior does nothing to keep ID from stopping FnP.
Looks like you're right. So we just make the AoF something that specifically allows FNP against ID attacks.
>>47999413
I used to stick to character models, deals and special things only, but now that characters are £20 and over I don't bother anymore. Switched over to boxsets now.
>>47998725
Should I be focusing mainly on drop pods and tanks for Salamanders? How should I go about adding in the Legion of the Damned? Sorry, I really know nothing here but I want to start getting ideas on how to build out this army.
>>47999437
Oh nice, blast baits. I hope the rule isnt really as that bad as it sounds or it better give at least 3++ to compansate for that.
>>47999300
It's far too small to use as a Bio-Titan in 40k. If you like the model, I'm sure you can find something for it to counts-as.
>>47999310
>t their core, they were always supposed to be "Female Space Marines". You know it, I know it, GW knows it.
So, you know nothing about the army.
Christ, the army isn't even bad, just mediocre. You're just extremely ignorant.
>>47999421
>Why on Earth did you
It's not mine. Mine is >>47987248, which is, admittedly, every bit as rough.
>>47999464
perhaps it turns into an invul instead for a turn, doesn't break game mechanics
>>47999413
usually stuff under $30. special bases, magazines, sometimes characters, paints
>>47999249
Please don't lump us all into that bucket of crazy. Some of us rather like the S3/T3 statline.
Compared to a Marine Scout though Sisters should be cheaper (by 1-2 ppm) just to fit into the meta better.
>>47999549
>perhaps it turns into an invul instead for a turn
I guess that makes more sense, although theoretically a bit weaker if they can get a cover save. It's definitely a much less hacky solution.
>>47999526
Not a SM player of any sort, but I would imagine that being flamer-lovin' fools, the salamanders would focus on drop pods to get closer to the enemy. Drop pods in general are nice because you can take objectives anywhere on the board early in the game. Us IG's have to drive everywhere.
>>47999618
>Not dropping Stormtroopers on every objective
>>47999526
Drop pods and tanks are good, their thing is flamers, meltas and fancy toys on their characters so you're going to want lots of decked out infantry.
LotD can just be taken as elite choices for space marines so can fit in to any normal army with ease.
>>47999534
>Every model in the army gets double adamantium will and a psychic hood
You sure you don't want to give them the aegis and shadows in the warp while you're at it? Maybe psykout grenades as standard? Hell, why not just make them all Culexus assassins?
>>47998436
>shoo shoo spooky d ghost
>>47999818
Not that anon but back when I was home brewing Sisters stuff I gave the Canoness, the command squad and Celestians a rule called "Faithful". improves SoF by 1.
They also got "Blessed Armour" which was Artificer Armour that also buffed the wearer's DtW bonus.
So 2+/5++ Sisters for elites and HQ options.
That and giving Celestian models a CCW standard was pretty much my way of rounding them out.
>>47999866
Come back spooky ghost!
>>47999898
fuck you spooky d ghost.
>>47999531
Jesus christ you're the delusional one. Sisters offer nothing special on the tabletop, and they don't even hit their own intended army goal at all. You want awesomely badass women in power armour? Try this:
Imperial Cults and Militia:
Force Commander: 80
- Power Armour
- Augmented Weapon, Bolt Pistol
- Iron Halo
Providences:
- Cyber Augmetics: 35
- Survivors of the Dark Age: 75
6x Grenadier Squad: 160 per squad
- Bolters
- 20 'women' each
- 2 Flamers(Or melta guns, IDGAF)
- Augmented Weapons
And a pair of Malcador Heavy Tanks, preferably the Infernus Variant for delicious S8 AP3 Hellstorm Torrent.
For 1850 points, you could have 120 "Battle Sisters" that have WS4, BS4, S4, T3, and a 3+/6++ save, coming in at a whopping 150 points per squad of 20 sisters. Their statline is better, and the infantry gets LAND RAIDERS as dedicated transports.
What the hell does your own codex offer to match? It's too mediocre to even pull off it's own intended concept.
Just started collecting Orks (got 20 shoota boys, 10 choppa boys, 10 nobs, warboss, 5 lootas and 5 burnas) any seasoned Ork players got tips for a beginner? Modeling tips or warnings for absolutely useless units.
I'm probably going to convert a fire prism and chimera into looted wagons in the near future.
>>47999922
But the spooky ghost is a friend!
I mean who will hold little Eldar children and tell them stories about the Emperor?
>>47999925
>Sisters offer nothing special on the tabletop
If you don't even know about AoF, you really need to read up on Sisters before spouting stupid shit.
>>47999925
Kind of missing proper acts of faith but nicely done.
And as a Sisters player I agree that the Army has a number of issues. With luck maybe a new, updated codex will be able to fix them but for now it's got too few units to make that claim.
>>48000007
the black Templars.
Is there a way to get into this hobby without spending lots of money? It looks really fun but I'm looking at the sets on GW website and it easily runs over $100.
>>47999898
YOU FOOL YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL
>>48000159
>we don't see any civiliansThey never do
>>48000161
If you don't ever intend to spend over $100 on this hobby, ever, then don't even bother with miniature wargames. Not even the cheap ones, because they'll still cost over $100 after all is said and done (because the smaller games charge more per model so still end up costing like $100 for 10-15 guys, and you haven't even bought paint yet).
Look for a wargame system that doesn't require buying miniatures, or use some kind of replacement like paper cutouts.

>>48000557
Why does everyone always harp on Space Wolves for being full WOLFWOLFWOLF, yet Raven Guard are the same for birds and no one gives a fuck?
>>48000649
RG don't have their own codex with bird named units, can't turn into birds, nor do they ride birds into battle.
>>48000649
Because raven guard lacks Windstorm Cavalry where beakies are riding massive ravens.
(Dear lord that would be cool).
Also remember. Space Wolves arent riding wolves. There are no wolves on Fenris...
>>48000632
What's funny is that the original image of Johnny was a Space Wolf named Craig.
>>48000649
Because they don't turn into Ravens, ride giantic Ravens, name everything after Ravens, and presumably don't watch That's So Raven.
>>48000649
Because the Iron Hands are the only chapter more forgotten than the Raven Guard, and now that Smash Prime became a big deal, they've slid into even more obscurity, you see.
That, and they used to be Space Vikings, and instead of leaving it at that, GW went and decided that there wasn't enough Corgis for them.
>>48000688
>>48000694
These too. And the RG are also pretty cool, honestly.
>>48000649
Raven Guard don't ride birds.
That's pretty much 90% of it.
>>48000649
because raven guard don't wear birds on all their gear or get special pass on things, also they don't have a strong following
Finished my first kill team project. Never painted Scions or a Sentinel before, both are wonderful kits.
They get the only open shelf space I have, right in front of the loyalist Knights.
Gotta force myself to do my last 6 Plague Drones before I can start a Night Lords kill team. Which is what Id rather be doing tbqh.
>>48000709

>>48000649
Raven Guard are no where near the level of absurdity as Space Wolves. Neither are Blood Angels. Or anything else in the setting.
That HQ on the wolf drawn sleigh, and the new Wulfen models are so ridiculous, I cant imagine an adult buying and painting those. Even for 40k they are absurd.
>>48000743
In the lore the wolves in Fenris arent actually real wolves but ancient, mutated humans that had gene-therapy to survive in frigid wastes of Fenris. During the long isolation the devolved, their gene-modifications got better of them and they pretty much turned into wolves. Its heavily implied that Thunderwolves are devolved space marine aspirants.
>>48000744

Since we're talking about going crazy with a theme why don't we talk about our dudes who are probably going overboard with their theme. I have a CSM warband called the Stars of Chaos, the Chaos Lord is called the Rising Star of Chaos and the Greater Starman, his last name means Rising Star, there's a unit of Noise Marines called the Starmen, and their leader is called the Starman. Did I go overboard with star theme? I think I probably did, but the warband does have a bone theme too.
>>48000913
Post the results.
>>48000758
>I'd say the Hands are pretty popular thanks to Smash and FW.
True enough, though the /hhg/ had a poll which showed the popularity of the legions.
Only Salamanders were played less than them. I think. Hands might still be played less than them.
>>48000898
Get that ork box that has a trukk and a boyz kit in it twice, build thematic and paint interesting lists for each then hope someone you can rely on to be there at a set date every week or so that's interested in playing it with you turns up in your life at some point.
>>48000990
My Death Guard are pretty over the top with their theme, which is always losing. My Sorcerer is named Bufu the Winless, my Cultists are affectionately referred to as losers, and my Predator 'Suck' has never killed another unit, ever. Strangely, my 5 man team of Terminators manages to kick ass every game. Fuckin mavericks.
>pic of Suck
>>48001078
The poll doesn't really matter outside of the /hhg/. There have been IH Anons before, but they have presumably stopped posting for a while. Still doesn't excuse all of the Alpha Legion Anons. Seriously. There's too many of them.

Good question, I guess theyre holding out to see how a new codex changes things?

Anyone wanna help me name my Raven Guard Captain? Joining a narrative campaign, and my idea behind him is he took the mantle of Shadow Captain of the 3rd company after Shrike was promoted to Chapter Master. I'm arming him with Ex Tenebris and a Lightning Claw, along with Artificer Armor.

>tfw sick of space marines so i'm switching to guard
I want to play all of the guard playstyles too. Rip my wallet.
Thinking about transitioning from AOS to 40K. I play skaven in AOS, so I wouldn't mind a change. Tau looks cool but I don't know how they play. Help?
>>48002713
No. Whatever you do, don't pick Tau unless you like being stereotyped as a WAACfag.
I've heard that Skitarii play similar to Skaven, though.
>>48002749
They looked cool. I just don't want an army that needs 80 infantry for a medium sized game. Tyranids look like something I should avoid using.
>>48002788
Really, ask yourself this:
Which faction do I like the look of best?
Which faction do I like the lore of best?
Etc.
>>48002713
Tau can be either very fast/mobile or totally static. Big guns and terrible close combat but great overwatch bonuses.
Lots of cheese but you can work around it pretty easily.
Pic tangentially related
>>48002809
Ok. I only really know the Newton lore atm, but I'll read into others. What's the diff between skitarii and cult mechanicus?
>>48002870
*necron*
>>48002870
The diference is that the Skitarii are the dedicated soldiers of the Omnissiah, while the Cult Mechanicus is the head honchos in charge of everything and have the keys to the robots.
And because GW wanted to sell you the same army twice.
Though, Skitarii interest me because they have no HQs at all.
>>48002870
Skitarii are made of people with cyborg parts attached, the Cult Mechanicus are more like the borg in that all of their units have lost their identities. The Kastelans go even further by just being keycard robots.
>>48002917
Do you use them together? It seems that cult mech. Is the HQ for the skitarii from this. Their walker tank looks sick.

enjoy your actually great army, have fun summoning

Here's my hornet. I fluff my craftworld, as an Exodite world that had to get evacuated because of Tyranids, and was brought into Biel-Tan. Once they got enough resources to form their own craftworld, they split, but maintained the thorn motifs to show thanks to Biel-Tan, and added the roses, the original icon of the planet.
umm guys, how do you kill these fuckers?
hardmode: as Astra Militarum and you can't use Psykers
His double mega flamers destroyed both my 50 man conscript squad and 50 guard blob in 4 turns... but i managed to take him down by casting misfortune and shooting him with, you guessed it-- flashlights
what the fuck do i do w/o psykers though?? pls halp
>>48002713
40K is a bigger, better more popular game than AoS. Run free from the clutches of a GW Store Employee (pretty much the only way possible you got into AoS without Fantasty or 40K first) and flee into our arms, brother
unless you choose Tau in which case back to the rat cage
>>48003072
>Double Mega Flamers
Ah, Forgeworld. How many Leman Russes do you have?
>>48003072
Armoured Battlegroup Vanquishers with Beast Hunter Shells. Not sure option but unless you go Grav Centurions/Grav Kataphrons or Psykana Division, you cant kill the thing easily no matter what you do.
>>48003072
Double Heavy Flamers? Do you mean he took the Forgeworld Variant with the two Hellstorm Templates?
>>48003118
enough, armoured battle group enabled
>>48003122
beast hunter shells??? do tell??
>>48003072
1. get psykers/shriek
2. misfortune + shot profile
3. hit it with a fucking bunch of meltas and pray you roll hot to wound
4. ally daemons for a GUO/Nurgle prince/Skarbrand
>>48003072

You mean monstrous creatures.

I messaged Abnett on twitter and he responded about The Warmaster
isn't much, but more than I expected desu, just glad to hear that he is working on it, also I guess it'll be 20 years until we see the series finished lel

>>48003124
yea, hes a real faggot
>>48003139
i dont want to rely on luck via psykers (rolling misfortune, casting, etc)
>>48003160
but those missiles are only AP 4??
>>48003202
i supose, i was just hoping for a solution that is more precise and les cumbersome than shooting the fucker with 20 lascannon shots and 30 autocannon shots
>>48003136
There's a Vanquisher cannon type that fires a S8 AP1 instant death shell. Get 9 of them, it'll die eventually.
>>48003228
dis forgeworld?? i need to show this faggot proof
>>48003136
Imperial Armour 1 Second Edition contains Armoured Battlegroup list. Some of their russes can have special shells and Beast Hunter shells are one of those:
>72" S8 ap2 Heavy 1 Blast Instant Death.
Wont instagib Skathach Wraithknight but every wound it suffers from those shells cause it d3 extra wounds due Instant Death.
>>48003226
then get a bunch of rending shots normally or some instant death
>>48003226
But 6 S10 Shots should strip him of his wounds in 2 turns with supporting fire.
>>48003072
It took him all game to kill two blobs. You could have just destroyed the rest of his army and ignored that thing. It barely made its points back going after the guardsmen.
>>48003247
youra genius! thanks m8
So if I want to run an artillery heavy IG list, what kind of soldier set up should I use to defend said artillery?
>>48003287
fuck no... 50 man blob w/ 5x plasma guns and 5x lascannons + 50 conscripts = 600pts, a substantial chunk of my army
How likely is for Blood Angels to get Grav Cannons in their next update?
I have 2-4 Grav Cannons still on the sprue laying around, but I'm hesitant to put them on any of my spare set's of legs since I can't yet take them in my army. I'm torn between using the few legs I have for Grav Cannon guys or kitbashing some new characters for my army.
On a more general note, anyone know or got any guesses as to when the next Blood Angel update is gonna be?
>>48003319
Conscripts are the cheapest bubblewrap.
>>48003334
So just throw some conscripts in the way and have them defend the artillery batteries while the real soldiers handle objectives?
>>48003322
>loading 160 points of wargear on 250 points of GEQ
>when he knew he was playing against Eldar
>Eldar with Apocalypse-tier flamers
>>48003325
Id say its 50/50. BA will def get an improvement though. But their update isnt even on the radar.
>>48003325
Not very. They're probably going to give you frag cannons or some kind of dumb blood gun like the SW got frost guns.
>>48003176
this is cool to know, thanks anon. I was worried he was succumbing to that disease he has or whatever
>>48003378
sprays the bloody remains of your shitty assault units on your enemy to cut out the middle man
>>48003396
At least now you'll get into contact with the enemy at a realistic speed.
>>48003347
Yeah conscripts are there to prevent your artillery getting charged. Against a shooty army you dont even need them though.
Idk how many Vets in Chimaeras you want roaming around, Id say 3 all with 3 Specials.
>>48003363
i didnt know he was going bring that shit
>>48003406
definitely improved mobility
>>48003378
>They're probably going to give you frag cannons
Hey, now that wouldn't be so bad.
I already don't like Grav Cannons since they're a tad too OP for my tastes, and if all Frag Cannons were to get the extra firing mode they got in Deathwatch Overkill I'd be all for it.
>>48003364
>their update isnt even on the radar.
That still sucks however.
They really need something as right now they're tied with 'nids as the top of the bottom tier for me.
>>48003418
If an Eldar or Tau player is still actively playing that army in this day and age, he is a faggot, end of discussion. All of the non-faggots already gave up on the army not being faggoty. It's like walking into Detroit and expecting not to get shanked and raped.
>>48003418
Or you could ally yourself small detachment of marines:
White scars
Librarian with Hunter's Eye
5x Scouts
Drop pod
3x Centurion Devastators with Grav Cannons & Omniscope.
Cents with Prescience on will do approx ~7,9 wounds to Skathach. Cover doesnt help it since Hunters Eye will ignore cover saves for the squad.
How basic is a necron destroyer army/cult on a table top battle?
>>48003479
why not las cannon centurions??
>>48003412
I mostly play against a Necron player who is half shooty, half assault, and a Tyranid player who is the same.
I'm dropping my shooty Marines for Guard because the Guard calls to me.
>>48003511
Centurions suck dick unless they have gravcannons
Unless you mean to tell me 3 lascannons and 3 missiles is worth 250 points?
>>48003511
More shots, graviton, reroll wounds.
>>48003633
>tfw i thought they'd be the tits so i modeled them that way
regret.
>>48003640
ahhh, i see
>>48003492
I'm not groking your jive man.
If by basic you are asking how good they are, the destroyer cult is great. Essentially destroyers ruin meqs, heavy destroyers are decent anti-tank, and everything improves if you throw in a judicator battalion for nearly 100% accuracy.
>>48003511
Life lesson for you: Instead of asking dumb questions, why not use google or simply try to figure it out for yourself? For example, "Why pick Lascannons over Grav Cannons". Can you provide an answer?
And no, vehicles isn't a good one. Read the grav rules for vehicles.
Is it worth putting a special weapon into Infantry Squads, or should I spend those points on getting more bodies for a conscript blob?
>>48003759
Las is better against superheavies.
>>48000412
Well, I found my hive tyrant.
Now all I need to do is spawn more overlords.
>>48003759
no such thing as a dumb question... fucking google will take me on a wild goose chase
neckbeards like you know the answer
>>48003771
Spend them on power weapons for the commissar in the conscript blob. And remember not to accept a duel with him.
>>48003748
Lol l ment basic as in how common they are. Also tell me more about effective use of destroyers against
>>48003247

cant find the beast hunter shells m8
>>48003847
Page 245. And like already said, its in Imperial Armour 1 2nd Edition - Imperial Guard not in Astra Militarum codex.
>>48003980
hell yea thanks bruv
its cause i couldnt find it int he pdf and battlescribe wasnt showing it
>>48003841
Pretty common, as they are part of the reclamation legion and have a lot of advantages in that formation. T5, 3+ armor and a 4+ reanimate is hard to kill, especially when toting 6 S6 ap3 shots a turn.
Destroyers are really quite excellent against everything, as they are fast moving hard to kill autocannons with better penetration. After Wraiths they are the best Necron unit. Heavy destroyers are not as good, as lascannons do not do their job as well as melta weapons do, but are still decent.
With a Triarch Stalker nearby the destroyers in formation hit on 2s and reroll 1s, making them 97% accurate.
>>48004021
So.. Heavy destroyers.. Not as favorable compared to regular ones?
>>48004017
God speed anon, as an Eldar player, even I don't take a dual Death Shroud Knight without letting people know about it, and getting permission. He needs a heavy dick kicking.
>>48003826
>no such thing as a dumb question...
Sorry to break it to you but your teacher lied.
>>47999233
How do people practice for poker?
>>48004052
They are decent, but in my experience 50 pts is too much for a preferred enemy lascannon with a 36 inch range.
The volume of fire is really low, and long range guns don't take advantage of their speed as jetpack infantry. Compared to a triple lascannon predator tank they are more expensive, about the same accuracy and redundantly quicker.

I've read that Dark Eldar aren't to good of an army
Why is that?
>>48004917
They used to be fast glass cannons who hit fast, hit hard, and crashed hard.
Then they got a lackluster army update so now they just crash fast and hard.

A friend who just got into the hobby bought and opened a knight paladin before realizing it didn't have the sprue to make the other knights and he feels a tad cheated.

I`m interested in buying models from FW but I'm not sure in which of the imperial armour books are which units.
Is there an overview or something? I'm mainly interested in the death korps.
Any updated megas that have up-to-date White Dwarves or the newest chapters of the Legacy of Russ shorts?
