TQ: How do YOU Boycott GW ?
>>96099413reposting cuz I think AI doomers are wrong
I think the material that AI has been trained off of (essays, scientific journals, tech documentation), leads to AI putting out writing with a lot of superfluous words, uniform sentence structure, and repetition of concepts. The new rulebook is written much differently than anything else GW has put out, with a lot of the "hallmarks" of AI writing. However, these hallmarks, when used by a human, actually lend themselves to internal consistency (rules don't contradict each other) and lack of redundancy (you don't have two different rules that do the same thing). I don't think it's a particularly pleasant kind of writing for the reader, and I think people are feeling that and saying a computer must have written it, even though the biggest indicators of AI, redundancy and lack of consistency, are not present.
>TQ
Iโll stop buying 40K and Horus heresy stuff entirely. From now on Iโm an age of sigmar player.

I owe an apology to an anon a couple of threads back. I asked for dubs to decide what legio to paint my titans and the result was Mortis.
Unfortunately Mortis is absolutely gay as fuck and I couldn't think of a way for it not to look boring as sin. So I went for Fureans instead. Sorry anon.
>>96099689 (OP)Tq
> I donโt claim to cause 99% of the people screaming for a boycott are gonna come crawling back in a month or two. This has literally happened every time gw releases a new edition of anything for the past few years and itโs honestly just boring to hear the same thing over and over again when Iโm gonna see them buying some terminator resculpt in a few months
>>96099731good
FUCK mortis
>>96099731based and justified. nice kneecap
>>96099700I don't think AI wrote the book
I however 100% am convinced that the writers were "assisted" by AI
And it doesn't help that this is the first edition of any GW game to come out after AI really took off
The timing really makes you think, you must at least admit that
>>96099700>redundancy (you don't have two different rules that do the same thing)Yeah now the same rule just repeats itself multiple times within its own blurb, and every concept referenced anywhere is re-explained in-full. Much less redundant...
>>96099689 (OP)boycotting gw is really easy, their games aren't fun to play, most of us have a pile of shame that could last for 5 years to paint and there are plenty of video games that are better social fun with friends. And chess is a better game for mental stimulation as well.
>>96099700>actually lend themselves to internal consistencyImperial Fists shoot themselves.
>and lack of redundancyCameleoline rules are printed, in full, on three separate pages.
I think these are human fuckups, not AI, but if you think the new rules are consistent or lack redundancy, you're retarded.
>>96099751Reposting. I dont have anything new on my roll. Might finish a Moritat tonight.
>>96099752I'm biased because I tried writing my own not-3rd edition earlier this year, without AI assistance, and my "technical rules writing" came up eerily similar in wordiness and Concept Capitalization. part of me just wants to recognize a fellow autist in the writing team.
>>96099777That's repetition, not redundancy (in my mind). redundancy is Brutal and Destroyer having similar outcomes for their own specific situations, with how they would interact being very unclear. 2.0 Rending and Breaching is another example, where the overlapping effect (AP2) should have been removed so Rending could have a unique effect.
>>96099797Typos notwithstanding
>>96099700Its a zero chance AI actually 'wrote' the book.
However IMO its extremely likely that AI was used for editing, assisting, or otherwise writing the wording of specific rules.
>>96099752I think Anon had it right last thread.
>>96099502
>>96099810>Typos notwithstandingNone of those are typos.
>>96099833Imperial Fists shooting themselves is definitely a typo (not a misspelling, if you're going to be pedantic)

>>96099851A typo isn't putting in one word when you mean another. It's hitting the wrong key or two.
>>96099731I hope you have awful luck forever.
>>96099851Imperial fists shooting themselves is intentional, just like tartaros not having powerfists despite there being pics of those in the very same rulebook and gorgon terminators not having guns are.
2.0 question for anyone - what's the difference between Reactor Meltdown (Major) and Catastrophic Explosion? Seems to me they both do the same thing.
>>96099881fine then, human errors notwithstanding, I think it's a ruleset that's largely free of errors and contradictions, even if it's hard to read.
>>96099899I found it very comprehensible to read actually, but I am legit diagnosed with autism.

I have a feeling that routing off the table will be incredibly uncommon
>>96099899"If you ignore the errors it's free of errors"
Anon come on
>>96099899>errors notwithstanding, I think it's a ruleset that's largely free of errors...
>>96099912>>96099899A large part of the autismo writing is explaining in excruciating detail what a target is, or exactly who is effected by something, trigger conditions etc.
But if you looks across the rules as a whole, it essentially reexplains the same thing like 500 times, instead of just have one page of definitions at the start of the book then referring to that each time.
Legit half the actually rules are just unneeded word bloat.
>>96099918>>96099922you're missing my point. There are a few errors (missing fists, Imperial Fist reaction phrasing) that are clearly mistakes that can be fixed with a simple errata. Regardless of those examples, after a thorough reading, the rules have clear intention, sequencing, and have clean interactions with one another, which is not something I could say about 2.0 or even 40k (or Kill Team, for that matter, which I would hold up as the cleanest GW ruleset I've encountered).
>>96099929To be fair, how precisely do you convey that a model sets its movement to 12", gains Deep Strike, Bulky (2), and Antigrav in a quick and easily referenceable way?
>>96099915That's like 1 in every 4 routed units will flee the battle, no? Do take into account that units fall back twice (once immediately after losing combat, once again during your turn), so you might have more units reaching the table edge.
Though I'm not sure which edge (nearest?), and what speed they fall back at (full M"?)
>>96099940>which is not something I could say about 2.0I'm sure you can provide examples where the rules lack these things?
>>96099890I have so far anon, don't worry.
>>96099915Maybe, but given the 4 turn limit and how scoring works I imagine even running away for a turn or 2 might be enough to make a unit useless.
>>96099950Fall back is initiative +d6
>>96099940If you want me to answer what you mean rather than what you say, you should say what you mean
>>96099689 (OP)why did they remove alchem flamers?
>>96099929>Removes option "bloat">Adds word bloatSasuga specialisto gamesu teemu.
>>96099689 (OP)>TQI can't say.
>>96099961Because an extra page would have been required for the stat block. And they were all out of extra pages.
Still donโt see any examples of this redundancy Bloat.
>>96099950compared to it being automatic in previous editions
>>96099961They're creating artificial scarcity, and will hopefully (re)release it later in a DLC.
>>96099975It's funny how most pages are 3/4 empty
They're really insisting on one unit per page to bulk out the book
Or someone removed things at the last minute
>>96099952Just look at the core rulebook errata document for plenty of examples of things that needed clarification. For one - can battlesmith be done alongside a shooting attack if you have Firing Protocols? Can you battlesmith as part of a shooting reaction? At launch, maybe.
>>960999612/2 also, the alchem flamers that are in the book (Deathshroud's) no longer cause Gets Hot. Though they also don't have Panic; only Typhon's does.
>>96099975>They're missing spaceNo they're not LMAO. Especially egregious when Deathshroud and Iron Circle have the missing equipment, yet the actual armouries themselves do not.
GW knows what this gear should be like, they just choose to not release it
>>96099946I mean dude, look at the word bloat of
>>96099915>Once all Models in a Unit that includes one or more Models which have entered contact with a Battlefield Edge that is within the Controlling Player's Deployment Zone as part of a Fall Back Move have finished their moves, a Leadership Check must be made for that Unit.Quite literally the that entire gigantic sentence is redundant. The rule prior to this sentence has already explained the trigger (stop when you hit the board edge), so the entire thing could be replaced with:
>after they have finished their move, take a leadership testThat's it.
>>96099977You mean automatically stop in previous editions. You brought vexillas, right, anon? :D
>>96099689 (OP)why are you such a faggot, OP
>>96099998>don't cause panic Hand flamers cause panic, otherwise they'd just be better flamers where it really matters. Typhon's does because it's artificer and thus better.
>>96099998I'm sorry but you are going to wait for 8-9 months so you can pay for a couple of options that you already had, not all of them because we need to drum up hype for 4.0 which is going to bring those back in the libers at the cost of the final 3.0 options. GW demands you clap when they release the journal.
>>96100004...I was joking. I was making a joke about how they removed Jump packs and put their myriad effects on each model manually, and split those models into different stat blocks or units to do so.
>>96100011Hand flamers *don't* cause panic
>>96099998>Especially egregious when Deathshroud and Iron Circle have the missing equipment, yet the actual armouries themselves do not.Maybe its an active choice, like limiting the escaton power claw for NL (used to be a character option, now locked to contekar alongside chainblades).
>>96100011>>96100018Oooh. I looked at DA plasma interemptors not doing Panic and thought
>I guess alternative flamers just don't have the panache of real flames
>>96099976see
>>96100004The rulebook does this for like every second rule
>>96100020It's things like that that make me think Tartaros not having power fists is deliberate, and won't be fixed in any upcoming errata or whatever.
OR, NuTartaros are coming. Either is a pity, as current Tartaros are PEAK
>>96100035Its possible. But I think theres a difference between "maybe some legion specific wargear should be limited to special units for whatever reason (making it feel unique/balance/whatever)" and "basic options in the kit shouldnt be available for tartaros terminators"
>>96100035People coping that the tartaros thing is a typo are actually delusional.
Both cata and tarty terminators have had their gear changed.
Both tarty squads and tarty command squads are missing the heavy melee weapons, but both specifically have lightning claw as an option. This is already a terminator weapon option, so it shows a deliberate decision to remove access to the full termie weapon options and REPLACE it with the lightning claw option.
>>96100068Yup
>>96100046Meanwhile, Apothecaries got Hammers lmao
Why is a lighting claw just a powerfist with claws anyway? Surely it's the same weight. I'd argue it should be slower because you have to aim the blades correctly as opposed to just throwing fists.
>>96099751I'm excited to use the best tank of the edition
>>96100096canonically powerfists aren't really for (just) punching, the user simply just tears apart the enemy/vehicles with their giga gripstrength
>>96100096>Why is a lighting claw just a powerfist with claws anyway?Because back in the day a lightning claw was power fist+. In 3e they were nerfed into power weapon+, but kept the design.
>>96098941>Master Sergeant is limited for a reasonIs it, though? :^)
Would this combi bolter be kosher for a word bearer tattaros command squad? I need left handed combi bolters and I just realized the chaos terminator kit comes with 3 of them
>>96099751New UM aux detachment demands payment in Optae, I will never be caught empty handed
>>96100131Do it. Word Bearers are perfectly good for chaos iconography, even in the heresy.
>>96100125its once per detatchment, so yes.
You can still spam it, but you need twice as many centurions to do so.
>>96100131Word Bearers are one of the only legions that can get away with it. Do it.
>>96100134neat.
The fucking powermaul that is larger than the guy carrying it is fucking comical though. Its legit twice as big if not more than the older power mauls.
can one of you gay faggots direct me to or pm me the repository for all the 1.0 rules. I have most of the books but im missing black books 5-8. I'm just trying to set up a repository for my local community on my drive so we can play 1.0
>>96099915depends what their Leadership is, which makes modifiers and qualifiers more important

Ld09 17/100 (1/6)
Ld10 08/100
Ld11 03/100
Ld12+ 0/100
if there's an Armourbane-style rule that turns an equal-to pass into a less-than fail, that's as good as Fear (1) or whatever
but if all of that stacks - especially given we're not seeing Stubborn or Inexorable any more - then Ld9 is much less useful in many circumstances than it would be in HH2 and you rapidly go from likely to pass to unlikely to pass
How strong are tsons looking?
>>96100109Imagine vambrace claws were the current profile. What profile would you give the Fist claws without increasing their price and making them Fists+? Gotta do it the same way they did 3.0 Hammers (-1S +1i) and Chainfists (+1S +Shred6 -1A)

To anon last thread talking about different fw armour mark sets, I tracked down some info, and yes there really was 2 sets of some (not sure if all) armour marks way back when they first came out.
So the mk.2 sets had one set with extra running poses, but when they consolidated it down they sadly removed these, which is super gayt.

>>96100214are you talking about the despoiler squads?
>>96100233No, so in pic related, the top 2 are the original releases (back when bolters came with the grip, which you'd have to chop off to slot into the hand that came with the actual bodies).
The one at the bottom is the later release, which replaced the older 2. In that version, the bolters come with the hands, but there are less poses overall (but more variation in that one set).
>>96100148The axe is pretty silly too, but the maul is the worst
>>96100259mk6 was more of a straight upgrade, since it was just one set (with 2 poses) replaced by a new set with 3 poses, including the 2 old ones.
Yes this turbonerd shit excites me, and also makes me sad that even from recasters, this shit is like not available.

>>96100305they removed 2 running legs though, which is fucking criminal.
I have a LOT of mk.2 dudes, and always wondered why they have very few running poses vs the other fw armour marks I have, and now I know the answer. RIP.
>>96100320And, naturally, you have to do the interior.
>>96100259It's a fucking tragedy that they finally found the perfect bolter hold and they scrapped it to fuck over people who use magnets
>>96100321Fuck, more running poses they took from us. Why god.
>>96099689 (OP)Guys i might be retarded, but, in 3.0 does AP2 or 1 even do anything to vehicles?
>>96100259There are FEWER poses. When you're talking about a quantitative value, you use LESS and when you're talking about a lower, qualitative value, you use FEWER.
There are FEWER loyalists amongst the traitors, but there's LESS wargear to go around.

>>96099822probably
>>96100574>>96100569>>96100550Anon was talking about Jetbikes, Sky Hunters, not outriders
>>96100593Ouch
White scars on suicide watch
>>96100593No he wasnt, since its regular bikes and not jetbikes that get the two shooting phases.
>>96100541They cost twice as much as a marine and pack twice the firepower (4 bolter shots naked). They fire twice per turn (firestorm) and they get to be much more mobile on top of it. Just about the only weakness they have is their close combat power. You dont even need plasma for them to be nuts.
>bookmarking the rulebook for ease-of-use
Holy fuck, there's only 3 missions total? What a halfass fuckjob of an edition. They probably brainstormed 12 missions and chose their favorite 9 to be separate paper DLC books.
>>96100615bruh, like a 3rd of the rulebook is just fluff on the fucking legions... even though we have liber books for that.
>>96099805>MoritatSure did. Base is drying. Two overcharged Volkite Serpenta.
>>96100612>have all the downsides of a basic troop's shooting profile yet none of the upsides of being great at scoring pointsSasauga retard-kun, impressive!
BTW. They don't have twice the firepower of even the basic trooper, tactical marines get a 3rd shot for standing still, bikes don't have Fury of the Legion. So bikes get 4 shots vs 6 shots for 2 tactical marines while also being trash at scoring and dying instantly to dmg2 weapons that tacticals laugh at.
>>96100612I just love when they keep changing bikes in every edition like they don't know what to do with them.
>>96100642>tactical marines get a 3rd shot for standing stillWhich they wont be doing, because theyre going to be rushing objectives.
So its four shots to four, except the bike fires twice and moves twice as far.
>>96100654bikes only shoot twice if they're close enough to declare a charge. i.e. within countercharge range.
But yes they can run up to people and spam plasma into their faces
>>96100642Are you retarded? They have vanguard, they are not meant to sit around holding objectives.
They also shoot 8 times each with firestorm and have outflank and twice the movement. For very similar point they are better than tacticals
>>96100672>bikes only shoot twice if they're close enough to declare a chargeYes, 12", a range they will trivially reach with their movement 14.
They then forego the setup move, choose to not roll with their firestorm, and stay where they are while unloading their 2nd volley (or alternatively they actually make the charge into whatever is left of the enemy objective holder)
>>96100622just checked AOS rulebook to compare
They have ONE fucking mission in the entire book, ahahahaha! GW really knows its customers are fucking losers with no standards.
>>96100682And potentially move react away, no? You could also have them shoot things you are right on top of for more damage. It's a very flexible unit.
>>96100574Fuck people on foot i guess lmao
>>96100686anyone still paying money for rules written by GW are chattel slave mentality consumers
>>96100705Yup. They can also outflank if you really want them to.
>you can now charge a separate unit than you shot earlier that turn
>you can no longer make multi-charges
BOOO
>>96100615It's not that - so much scoring has been moved to unit-based rules (Line now boosts objective VP, Vanguard will always generate it) that the amount of control a mission has is super limited.
It's why the three missions are just different numbers of objectives. They've designed themselves into a corner.
>>96100686AoS releases mission packs every season for its missions, of course they dont have alot of missions in the base book dipshit, they dont expect you to be using it for all your games.
>>96100035Wow, this is a pretty model. Very nice.
>>96100633>Neo-VolkiteEw.
If sprinting troops onto objectives becomes important, I think Custodes will almost certainly be a problem again.
>>96100615Missions are going to be in pretty much every journal, thats why they dont care so much about the core book. Both 40k and AoS have their missions sold in seasonal packets, so every year or so there is a change in mission rules.
What the fuck.
"yea, I have four units of WE despoilers charging you turn 1, have fun!"
>>96100744Do despoilers have the Concealed position rule?
>>96100721>you can now charge a separate unit than you shot earlier that turnJesus, the "core rules are fine it's only the libers that are a fuckjob" shills really dropped the ball. There's not a single thing worth saving in HH3 core book. They've fucked up literally every phase of the game.
>>96100721Wait, they got rid of multicharging? Fucking why?
>>96100754Its a prime advantage for having a master of descent. A tac or despoiler unit can be concealed.
>>96100233>>96100259>>96100281>>96100305>>96100346These old FW kits were my favorite. I remember buying like 30 beakies so I could make an RTB01 throwback vanilla space army with the FW bubble pred and some of the Diemos rhinos for 5th or 6th edition 40k, and I still have bunch of all marks in my firstborn space marine army that hasn't seen the table since before covid.
>>96100769Reserves, except deep strike are turn 1 I hear too?
>>96100754They do if you give it to them. Like say with angrons sire of the world eaters special rule that gives you four of these units.
>>96100778Yes. Still allowed to charge the same turn too.
>>96100781are reactions still limited to one use per turn?
>>96100781There's your deep strike buddy
>>96100792I dont know, I think its just "you can use as many as you want (provided you have enough slots and that each unit can only react once)
>>96100781>WEaters are the best ambushersGet fucked RG/AL
>>96100744>>96100781Most balanced reaction.
>>96100792One unit can do one reaction per turn, but you can do as many reactions per turn as you have reaction points
>>96100805Berserker rush turn 1 kekekekekekeke
>>96100812they're literally just tacticals/despoilers
>>96100828Oh sure, but its still kinda crazy no? Will absolute win games if the enemy isnt prepared for it.
Say your enemy goes first and advances his main melee thrust one way, but sends some tacticals onto an objective somewhere else Surprise! despoilers! Its not like despoilers are BAD at melee, theyll still anally ream any non-melee unit out there (especially WE ones with 3A), and this way they can basically guarantee they get the charge off (marines make a 3" set up move, SW make the full 5"), so unless your opponent has a melee unit left that can react hes kinda buggered.
>>96100850is it really a surprise if you have to announce your despoiler squad is concealed?
it also has a very narrow band of deployment where you have to be outside of 5" of enemies but within 6" of what triggered it so you can't exactly hide a huge squad
>>96100850Take Angry Ron and a Praetor, have 4(+?) reactions per turn and 4 concealed position 20man despoiler squads. When enemy main thrust goes one way, DESPOILER CHARGE, when enemy objective monkes go another way, DESPOILER CHARGE, when enemy reserve moves to support the monkeys, DESPOILER CHARGE...
>>96100862Can you join HQs to the ambush unit?
>>96100850You dont get the set up moves on disordered charges. You also dont get the +1 attack from the world eater trait on a disordered charge if I remember correctly
>>96100869no, the entire unit needs Concealed Positions and you can only get it by being a tactical/despoiler unit with a prime thingy
>>96100862Only the first model has to be within 6" of the enemy afaik The others just have to be 5" away still and within 6" of the first guy. Which is very reasonable spacing requirements.
>>96100865Finest RG minds are baffled by how berserkers keep popping out of every trashcan, bush and lamppost
>>96100869God no, the entire unit needs to have the rule. Angron himself is not walking out of a mob-closet to beat your ass.
>>96100882>Finest RG minds are baffled by how berserkers keep popping out of every trashcan, bush and lamppostJokes on you, half mine are XIX Terran marines in concealed positions
>>96100882>Angron himself is not walking out of a mob-closet to beat your assBut imagine how funny it'll be when 12 cataphractii command squad do (there's a retinue prime slot in the apex detachment)
>>96100882>God no, the entire unit needs to have the rule. Angron himself is not walking out of a mob-closet to beat your ass.Angron, the true inheritor of Creed
>>96100904The prime advantage specifically states only tacs or despoilers
>>96100877Oh, right. Still thats a 55% chance of making the charge. Which is frankly not too bad for something that will win you the game now and then. And if they fail the charge its probably still a pain in the ass for your enemy, since they either have to waste their focus on a despoiler squad or have it contesting an objective now.
>>96100904Tacticals and despoilers only (thankfully).
>>96100612>>96100647I thought bikers were going to be T5 W1. Bikes have always been basically +1T right? I mean, what's done is done though.
The funniest part about interdiction cadre is that it's not even any kind of infiltration or camouflage. They're literally just lying on the ground playing dead. 28000 years of technology and the finest men and machines the emperor can muster foiled by the Trojan horse
>>96100410thats kinda neat, call back to first ed
>>96100923So it's the 3.0 trailer with all the IW playing dead
>>96100781Honestly I think the funnier use for this is to just teleport a unit of tacticals onto an objective. You essentially have 12" + 2x base width to daisy chain onto an objective, so if your opponent ever moves anywhere near one you can snatch it.
>>96100921Thats how it was in old warhammer yea. I miss my t6 nurgle bikers.
Still, t4 2w seems like a good statline for them.
>>96100923Oh its literally that thing from the cinematic. IW rising up from the dirt to ambush the sallies.
>Chaplain
>Special Rules: None
>>96100931That is also very funny.
>>96100935>Cool 10>the guy yelling Litanies of Hate make the unit calmer

>>96100642>have all the downsides of a basic troop's shooting profile yet none of the upsides of being great at scoring pointsThey have more than double the firepower of a tactical marine, come with a chainsword, have 2 wounds instead of 1 and are twice as fast, and you're paying 20 points per outrider when tacticals are 10 points per body
With vanguard (1), all they have to do is kill Line units which they're perfectly capable of. There's also always utility in having fast as fuck units in general, especially bare bones cheap ones like these.
>>96100923reminds me of those shitty alpha legion conversions/paintjobs with the decloaking tech
turns out that all just a reddit made thing, the actual alpha legion use a mystical method of disguise known as "paint"
>>96100828>>96100916>enemy takes 2 steps forwards>60 berserkers jump up out of nowhere>try shoot them, they react to charge you in the shooting phaseBased stealth beserkers
>>96100931>You essentially have 12" + 2x base width to daisy chain onto an objective, so if your opponent ever moves anywhere near one you can snatch itYou need to blob up when you arrive
>>96100992Outriders can even come in from a side with Outflank and immediately lock something down in close combat. Better park those HHS waaay from the side now.
>>96101003>>try shoot them, they react to charge you in the shooting phaseCant. The unit already reacted to ambush, cant react again with the WE reaction.
>>96101005Yea, its only like 11" you can go. Still, will be enough to grab a point now and then.
>>96101008WS making them M16" and either Expendable (2) or master sergeant/vets is sexy as fuck too.
>>96101008You cant charge from outflank.
>>96100994The cloaking shit makes 0 fucking sense and I loathed those conversions too
They can just get Sunburst Yellow from space Shermin-Williams to hang out with some fists
>>96100931>daisy chainIt's for fuckery like this that deepstrikes are dead. It says all models in the ambushing unit must be deployed both in coherence and within 6" of the first model placed.
Whoever falls outside the 6" bubble will perish (the floor is Nocturne)
>>96101024>radius vs diameter
>>96100931And then they charge you with a vanguard and steal your points
>>96100935Special rule: Chaplain
Chaplain:
When a unit with this special rule is deployed, and for the duration of the game, it is affected by the special rule Chaplain
This unit costs the amount of points detailed in the profile for Chaplain and must use the profile for Chaplain as well as any special rules detailed in the Chaplain profile
This unit must be equipped with the wargear detailed in the Chaplain profile
When referring to this unit during all game turns, players must refer to this unit as a Chaplain
>>96100923I hate to be a party pooper, but this is them using tunnels or hidden bunkers and stuff.
>>96101044so they're the vietcong?
>>96100935Having a chaplain and an apothecary makes a unit nearly immune to statuses
I'm mentally retarded - what detachments do I take to make an SA Armoured Company?
>>96101053Hamas
Who's Israel in this?
>>96101062that unit is taking Ld6 panic checks from a phosphex rapier
doesn't sound very immune to me
>>96101005First model has to be within 6" of the enemy but outside 5". Given your base is wider than an inch, only part of your base has to be within 6". Same deal with the 6" for your other models. So you get 5.99" + base width + 5.99" + base width to daisy chain with.
>>96100781Desu was wondering why more people weren't talking about this since it seems fun and fluffy. Personally I'm doing the following
>Saturnine Praetor>3 Saturnine Disintegrator + Particle Shredder Termi's>Vigilator>20 man tactical squad w/ interdiction cadre>20 seekers split into two teams>4 Melta tarantulasFeel like this results in a fluffy little "ambush" force. 1500pts with some bells and whistles, which leaves me room to get some allies or to double down and get even sillier
>>96101082panic is cool, they'd be taking it on a 9 (10 - 3 from panic (3) + 2 from apothecary)
>>96101085>fluffy ambush force>the heaviest terminator armour ever made

>>96101094panic is Ld, you doofus
>>96101012oh wait, I misread it, they don't even need to charge in the shooting phase, they can just immediately do a disordered charge. Fucking wew.
Also RAI faggotry, but the reactions doesn't actually say the reacting unit has to be in reserve to use this reaction.
>>96099689 (OP)>do not buy a single bookI buy them because I like to collect them.
>>96101112Thank you, I wasn't actually sure
>>96101127nevermind, I am in fact retarded. I keep thinking the target unit is referring to the unit moving.
>>96101024Regardless of how you interpret it, you can get a silly distance away from where the enemy actually ended their move.
>>96101038Thank you anon, I wouldn't have thought to not do this to a big scary melee unit.

>>96101158Daily reminder actual frothing maniac red butchers have extremely high 'leadership' of 12 because they are tactical geniuses on the battlefield
>>96100781Honestly I quite like this rule overall its fun and potentially powerful but still balanced. I just wish it came in a real book with like 9-10 more that are just as well designed, a campaign full of fun and narrative missions, and a good 30-50 pages of well written lore like they used too, instead of 1 dollar per page DLC bullshit.
>>96101167>a campaign full of fun and narrative missionsThat'll be $40 in 6mo-1year from now

Why the fuck is Camba Diaz in the Liber when he doesn't have a fucking model.
>>96101240You are the problem
>>96101247When I point out the the rules writers still havbe a clear bias and can't even follow their own design rules when making their books?
>>96101240Real answer is there is probably a model on the way
>>96101112GW split leadership into exactly 2 identical stats that don't belong as separate stats and then willpower.
'Leadership' and 'Cool' are literally referencing the identical stat called 'bravery'
Getting hit with a flamethrower? That's a bravery test. Sniper trying to pin your unit? That's a bravery test. Gravity gun making quitters just lay down? That's a bravery test. Outnumbered in combat and losing it? That's a bravery test.
If GW was going to have 3 leadership stats they needed 'Bravery' 'Intelligence' 'Willpower'. Should rarely be used in any status tests unless it's "pass an intelligence test or these illusions/noise-makers distract your unit" or "pass an intelligence test to ignore this alpha legion distraction and React Normally". Take an intelligence test to not shoot at the closest enemy unit. Intelligence tests are for pushing buttons during mission objectives, or for seeing if your concealment stratagem succeeds. Or if you need to scatter during your deepstrike.
GW's own system is so retarded they can't even make sense of their own bullshit. It's leadership to not get scared of fire, but it's cool to not get scared of a sniper rifle. They can't even pretend leadership is intelligence between intelligence would be if you're an axemen unit and your trench bursts into flames, getting out of the trench and running towards the enemy would be the intelligent strategy. If they wanted to represent that, they could give Flamethrower(Threat) - take an intelligence test upon receiving a wound from a Threat weapon. If passed, move as far as your initiative in a direction of your choosing. If failed, opponent picks the direction.
>>96101237Already has, notice everyone sitting around bitching instead of just making their own missions.
>>96101285>"just do my homework for me, but write me a paycheck" -GWYour shill tard-ass is exactly why this entire edition is complete trash. GW puts no effort into anything they do precisely because they expect you to redo everything they never bothered to do their job on.
I haven't seen any analysis of leaks wrt Mechanicum, presumably because all the discourse has been about Marines. Does the new Liber suggest what new plastic kits we'll be seeing for the Mechanicum?
>>96101310I'm not spending a single penny on any rulebooks, but I'll say it again: if you're just going sit on your ass and whine about missions instead of making your own, then HH has already degraded to 40k status.
>>96100781Imagine a small pile of Stormwing Centurions and Praetors squaring up with their terranic greatswords against a vastly numerically superior force - and when the enemy takes one step forward and suddenly the forest start speaking autistic screeching about loyalty.
Can someone plz provide a link to the HH Audiobooks?
Does anybody know if command squads need to match up (centurion command squad with a centurion/consul, praetorian command squad with praetor etc.)
I assume it works this way but I cant find anything that stipulated it exactly
>>96101451Nope, just need a retinue slot for each command squad.
Have book in hand. The force org chart is bad. I was optimistic at first, but its a jigsaw puzzle with my collection
>>96101460Really bizarre but hell works for me
>>96099700>The new rulebook is written much differently than anything else GW has put out, with a lot of the "hallmarks" of AI writing.To me, the writing style looks far more reminiscent of modern 40k rulebooks. 10th edition writing has this exact same wordiness and poor formatting. My tinfoil hat theory is that GW shifted game design responsibilities away from SGS to GW actual, because the writing style is noticeably different.
>>96101488It's so weird that GW is going with fucked up overly complex force orgs for HH and AoS, but over in 40k you can do whatever the fuck you want.
So why is it for Sons of Horus their prime benefit is giving an Elite Duelist's Edge, but their special detachment gives two prime slots to troops?
>>96101507overly complex force orgs directly preceded "do what ever the fuck you want" in 40k as well
Am I fucking retarded? I can only take one Praetor?
>>96101541No, you are not retarded. Yes, you can only take one praetor at the current time, and by extension, one apex detachment.
>>96101507>>96101527The only thing keeping me from saying this new force org detatchment system is the worst thing ever, is knowing that in 4.0, we'll likely go to the ACTUAL worst thing ever - modern 40k
>>96101541Why were you taking more than one waacfag
>>96101552Surprisingly a lot of people like it and see it as one of the positives from 3.0. This absolutely boggles me and actively stops me from army planning cause itโs so shit
>>96101552Bold of you to assume that we get a HH4 and it isn't abandoned like every other failed cash grab GW does.
One can hope.
>>96101559Because the models look cool, and I've already paid the chinaman for them.
>>96101568I genuinely don't get why people would like it.
If you want a structured method of list building, use a force org, with ROWs/other shit modifying as needed.
If you want to just want to go ham, than just don't have any force structure, and limit certain units in their entry as needed.
The 3e method is very halfway house, and I don't really get what the point is, from a game design point of view, considering you can take essentially anything you want, as long as you pay a centurion tax.
>>96101541I think you can use the "Special Assignment" advantage on a Command slot to bring another praetor
It is both awe-inspiring and terrifying how quickly HH turned to shit the moment GW executive leadership wrapped its greasy claws around it. Holy hell.
>>96101598Behold the power of constant growth and publicly traded companies.
HH communities all over are basically in full revolt and already are house ruling shit.
>>96101573Then give them different wargear options and alternate which ones you use in list building. You do take more than whatever the meta nonsense is right?
>>96101598Itโs been shit since its departure from first edition, I dunno if Iโd call that quick.
Can ultramarines still be traitors in this edition? Do they get any unique rules for doing so?
>>96101581>with ROWs/other shit modifying as neededThe whole point is that with this system, you don't need to start waste pages on giving each legion their own forge org modifying shit and instead focus on what's actually unique and flavorful. Unfortunately, like a lot of things in this edition, the problem is that the marine libers were outsourced to the intern while the designers went to go make fun fluffy lists with the mechanicum and solar aux because marketing doesn't care if they give them a bunch of wargear not in the kits or give them all of their flavor without selling it back to them as DLCs, that's what the marine paypiggies are for.
>>96101648>Can ultramarines still be traitors in this edition?Probably.
>Do they get any unique rules for doing so?Probably not.
>>961015273rd edition AoS and current TOW have really solid force orgs. They both lent to making armies that looked like armies in the mainline, but also gave options for fun and fluffy skew lists. AoS was that done in a very simple, rules light way, and TOW is that done in a much more crunchy and complex but not confusing way.
GW can do it! They have done it! They are doing it! But sometimes they just choose to be fucking stupid
What does master of the legion do?
>>96101648Unfortunately yes, fortunately no
>>96101658How each legion might organise their forces differently (and the related other bonuses and drawbacks of ROW's) ARE what's unique and flavourful.
Instead we get 500 different slop detatchments that will in reality amount to a difference in a list of maybe 1 centurion more or less to fit XYZ units.
>>96101527Not really, 9th detachments were easy as fuck
>>96101643Yes, I've decided to use one as a Champion instead.
This new system is a pain in the ass though, I have to take a shit ton of characters if I want a variety of units.
>>96101676>How each legion might organise their forces differently (and the related other bonuses and drawbacks of ROW's) ARE what's unique and flavourful.Every legion having a pride of the legion variant that let them take their special unit as troops except some got line and extra shit on top (loyalists) and some didn't (traitors) wasn't flavorful it was just shit. I'd rather have one pride of the legion for everyone and then everyone gets extra shit on top.
>>96101441Is there a SINGLE use for Power Maul ?
>>96101316>Does the new Liber suggest what new plastic kits we'll be seeing for the Mechanicum?Maybe? The Tech Priest being separated from his Servo Automata might suggest a new kit for each, but it might also mean they're just being reboxed separately. Hopefully they're getting plastic and new separate boxes.
>>96101717Yes because every ROW in the game was just pride of the legion.
>>96101719Cut the Maul's heads off then string them together and BAM; Power Anal-Beads for your local Emperor's Children player.
>>96101719Take them with a biomancy librarian for budget chain fists on company command squads to glance open a land raider. At least, that's my plan

>terminators gain a wound
>most things that were threatening to terminators just instant death them
>instant death goes away, damage stat instead
>most things with ap2 and half the weapons with breaching are 2+ damage anyways
Looking forward to next edition where GW continues chasing their own tail on elite infantry and gives terminators damage modifiers and makes mortal wounds or something that ignores it anyways.
>>96101787Don't worry, people will complain about tanks and whatever else this edition, and 3 years later tanks will go back in the shitter and dreadnoughts will be good again.
>>96101724NTA, but for fun I went through every legion in the game and counted which ones actually offered something completely unique and which ones offered something that was just a better version of a generic rite of war or should have just been a generic rite of war, like breachers or Destroyers. My final numbers were 21 unique, 20 derivative, although there were a few that I felt could've gone either way that I ultimately decided by "would you ever use the generic version over this". Interesting outcome, I definitely would've preferred most of the derivative ones going and being baked into the units or becoming prime benefits like justaerin having deep strike without the character reacharound

>>96100923>28000 years of technology and the finest men and machines the emperor can muster foiled by the Trojan horseTo be fair, it is a really good horse. There's one time in some RG supplement where they lure some Tau over by playing dead, and to sell the act their hearts are basically stopped and sus-an membrane half active, and they basically will themselves out of a self-induced coma.
Marines are superhuman but in the early Superman way, with a bunch of weird, niche abilities
>>96101802In 2.0, bear in mind a tercio is three squads. Not inherently bad if you also want transports, their Leman Russ kit is good, and there aren't really any other options for Solar Auxilia discounts.
>>96101273>If GW was going to have 3 leadership stats they needed 'Bravery' 'Intelligence' 'Willpower'Discipline (normal Leadership) is neither of that. Meaning Panic should test on Cool, not Ld.
But then Ld would've been needed for when you want the unit to obey, like when anons said 2.0 Reactions could be fixed by taking a Ld test first. If it passed, shots were full BS. If failed, they were going to be snapshots.
>>96101841>2e halved bolter effectiveness against the vast majority of terminators>3e further reduces effectiveness by a 3rdGW is fucking in the head in that they buff elite troops defensively, but its always against smallarms/weaker weapons, while peer weapons/AT weapons (i.e. the biggest threats to termies and such) are completely unaffected.
>>96101884fuck I just realized it's even more retarded because all my magi have to be attached to the servo automata which means all my scoring is going to be on the backs of a bunch of these little shrimps
>>96099712Made that silly pic ages ago in Paint in 1.0. Thanks for including it, anon :D
>>96101944No they dont? You can attach them to any Automata or infantry unit, tech priests don't come either servo Automata anymore (and it's in fact actively bad to include them because they now take a retinue slot and their sole role is ablation wounds and a poor man's battlesmith, meanwhile a machinator array is 20 points, doesn't take a slot, and gives you 2 bsttlesmiths a turn if you don't shoot
>>96101581>I genuinely don't get why people would like it.1. People disliked paying tax troops, and RoWs gave them ways to avoid that. Now the tax is HQ (GW is shilling them), but it's less. And Prime slots are carrots on a stick urging you forwards, instead of tax beating sticks needing to be overcome before you can start bringing what you want.
2. It's literally pic related. A minigame of fitting pieces in their places. What goes where, how many can you fit. Accounting, 30k, Diablo; I keep finding myself playing Fit the Pieces. Maybe it's an autism thing
>>96102017Can I put the triangle in the square hole
>>96102027I have a hole for you to shove things in.
>>96101441Line (1) is actually wild, though it does make trading into them with other terminators more of a win for your opponent. However, not like they can't take a punch and return it in kind with WS5 and T5
At 55 points a pop with power fists they're not cheap by any means
>>96101964the techno arcana is the army's [Legion] equivalent
the same way you can't just shove a Raven Guard centurion into your IF primary detachment, the same way you can't shove a Myrmidax Magos into your Macrotek primary detachment
everyone has to be Macrotek, and the only way to get a Macrotek unit for your characters to join is to use Scyllax or Servo Automata or a Moirax
>try to make a list
>it takes at least an hour to fudge around the slots
wow I actually really hate this, it's needlessly complicated for literally no reason
>>96102063How are you finding it complicated
Take your praetor, assume you're taking two centurions
That's a crusade primary detachment + 1 apex detachment + 2-4 auxiliary detachments right there without even having to consider anything else
If you can't fit 3000 points of whatever you want into that, you need more wrinkles in your brain
>>96102055Anons models in the primary detachment don't have to match techno Arcana. The whole system would fall apart otherwise.
Is new recruit updated yet
>>96101719Mauls trade -1i for +2S, so if you can survive the swords, you'll hit the other guy harder, and can also hurt non-Marine stuff, niche as that may be. I suppose it also hits 3+ save axe-wielders harder than they hit you.
I would have liked power weapons to be (breaching 6+ on all of them)
>Sword: +1A>Maul: -1i +2S (as is)>Axe: -1i +1S AP2>Spear: +1i. No Precision 6I just think, once again, swords have nothing to go for them when spears are basically the same thing but faster.
Also, swords are the only melee weapon that is balanced and can parry, so that's why I'd give them +1A.

>>96099998Still 100% more weapon options than Word Bearers got.
>Gutted edition if you were not a favorite
>>96102086Okay you know what you've got a point, everyone in the book has an assigned arcana trait except for tech priests, magi, and the retinues, and your only options are to give up your apex for 3 retinue slots or use prime benefits to slide them in
At the very least there's an aux detachment with 4 troop slots, 1 prime, to let you get additional logistical benefits pretty easily if you've got the slots, which is not hard considering you almost certainly need at least 3 magos just to handle the difficulty 3 or 4 cybertheurgies
>>96101954that picture is amazing anon, well done
>>96102063you'd believe a 6 BILLION dollar company could have an intern cook an app for people to make their list in a week end, but no.
>>96102100You have to burn a reaction for it?
If teleportariums are found on most Legiones Astartes ships, then why can't Terminators teleport normally, instead of needing some Prime or whatever?
>>96102017'Tax' troops is part of the games balance. Pride of the legion lists had severe restrictions as the price to pay for 2 scoring elite units. So you are locking yourself out of many other options.
3e is just 'pay centurion tax' then take whatever you want. No other pros, or cons, other than a tired set of prime(tm) bonuses on random slots.
>>96102137I am not upset that you should take more than a single praetor, and I like that both basic bitch centurions and tactical marines have actual uses
>>96102134They don't do them piece meal, but in full teleport assaults that are most of an army.
>>96102145Do we have that in 3.0?
>>96102137Oh it is herohammer, no discussing it. I'm still eyeing up the stuff, but in 2.0 there were two ways of building an army:
1. Commander + specialists + army
2. Bare bones budget MotL, so you could spend more on the army
This edition is banking on option one; I want to see if option 2 is viable. I hope it is.
>>96102116I just find it lame to be putting an Archmagos in a babysitting squad, I might just put him with some automata since they're at least immune to statuses so the Cl/Ld debuff isn't as awful
>>96102164Where would you put him if unrestricted, Macrotek anon?
>>96102175very uninspired but probably an honor guard of myrmidons now that they've been toned down
the giant axes call to me
>>96102195>the giant axes call to meIronic, considering that they've been returned to their 1.0 status of just power axes.
>>96102136Damn that's ass. Or at least very niche.
>>96100097That looks swell anon, puts my Kratos to shame
>>96102143It's not about spamming multiple praetors (if anything it about running just 1 centurion/delegatus so you can run more lads).
The game should revolve around the dudes, the normal ones, not 500 centurions.
>saved money on not buying the rulebook
>used saved money to help go to e-reader

Thank you leaker anon.
>>96102219You still need a scout squad. Corvus armour, naturally.
I hate the look of the Saturnine dread. theres something about it that screams that it is not a 30k design but a 40k design modified to be 30k
like the legs are too long and spindly, the torso juts out too far, the weapons look wrong whoever designed it didn't seem to learn take any inspiration from the titanicus weapons, the waist is too thin.
it's a mess
>>96102418>It's a messYeah, this whole edition
>>96101316So are all Scyllax cute anime maid girls before they get servitor lobotomized?
how many thallax do you other archmagi have? with both them and castellax getting way cheaper im actually going to finish building my backlog of 20 some odd extra thallax. Might need to re-enforce my castellax, i only have 12 of those
>>96099751Some of the lads before they go out for a night of fun and slaughter.
>>96101316Does anyone have the rules for Scyllax and servo automata?
Did they really lose ALL their options?
>>96102418It looks like a marine'd telemon.
If anything looks like a 40k model it's the saturnine praetor.
How long until they dump the legacies docs?
>>96102219Any progress on choosing a super heavy?
>>96102455Can I ask you what colors/Pigments you used for your bases? They Look fantastic. I like the contrast between the grey and Red.

How are the Grav Rapiers looking? Thinking I want my IW to stop anyone getting near
>>96102533Looks great, but if it was chunkier it would be even better
Am i getting it right?:
Storm Eagle starts in aerial reserves, comes out on turn 1 with Deploy Mission, deploys a melee unit, the melee unit makes a disembark move (equal to their movement, but doesn't move later in that movement phase), and then they may shoot in the shooting phase.
Storm Eagle shoots a bit with its defensive weapons in the shooting phase and flies away at the end of it back to reserves.
The melee unit can make a setup moveโcharge in the charge phase without penaltyโbecause Storm Eagle is an assault vehicle.
So we can charge from reverses or what?
> army selection rules
> 1. Set points limit
> 2. Select mission
> 3-6. Complete army roster
So fuck pickup games and fuck all-comer lists right?
>>96102668Seems that is correct anon, but early in the edition to truly understand the rules interactions.
>>96102643>Grav RapiersThey are 36' S8 AP3 D1 and D2 when stationary; 6+ breaching; 3' blasts, and the blasts no longer scatter with LoS; they also apply statuses. In short, they are busted. Other options are strong as well.
>>96102668Yea, in this case. Deepstrike doesn't let you charge, for example.
Also have in mind that the Stormeagle comes in from your border so it's movement + the unit's is not gonna take you to the enemies deployment zone or anything like that
And a land raider can also drop troops 17" into no mans land
The storm eagle also doesn't come in on T1 automatically, I'm pretty sure you have to roll a 3+ for it
>>96102685There are mission that don't have reserves. If you don't have any units that are mandatory to start in reserve it's not a problem
What's looking good/broken/wasted points for ranged loadouts on Contemptors currently? Want to make sure what I own isn't bullshit in one direction or the other
>>96102699I guess they just want a certain legion to deploy in a certain way and buy more flyers or something.
>>96102668Maybe melee isn't dead.
>>96102513Thanks anon, rock is just drybrushed up to a light grey using 3 or 4 layers out to the edges.
The dust I am still experimenting with is painted with 3 layers of rust coloured pigment, A.MIG-3008, A.MIG-3005 then A.MIG-3006.
>>96102707I don't think any loadout should be broken anymore. Autocannon or melta would be my pick.
>>96102699It's a shame storm eagles are so ugly.
Should I start a Death Guard army or a World Eater army? Will mostly be playing non-3.0 with them so ignore those rules. Mostly comes down to what other people would like to see and if I like 20 man tactical squads or despoiler squads more.
>pic unrelated
>>96102685That's how it worked last edition as well anon lol
>>96102775Seems like DG lost a lot more in terms of options than WE did. WEs are sort of affected by the profile change of chainaxes, I think chainaxes still have a place, but unfortunately not the straight upgrade they once were. Rampagers look like power armour blenders with vanguard(3), and Red Butchers look serviceable and quite fun.
>>96102775What's going to be the most fun to paint for you?
>>96102720Cool thank you!
>>96102775I love world eaters, you need loads of chainaxes though.
Where are the audiobooks though
Is it better to just ignore statuses if a bunch of legions have rules mitigating them?
mech detachments

>prime advantage on one slot
>mix of units, no consistency
>half the time the legion prime advantage is either something boring, only benefits a generic unit, or cant be taken with the detachment as it only benefits a command slot
mech operate on a different level to marines
>>96102893What are those legions?
>>96102894Would you say that Liber Mechanicum is well written? I am not read up on if it has any compromises made
When making an army in 2e, how do you treat units in an allied detachment, that is the same faction as the primary detachment?
Do you just treat the units the same, save for things like rites of war and other abilities that specificly call out detachment?
Like they can all get in each others transports and join each others units?
>>96102972definitely better written than marines
Finally made the choice to cancel my 30k pre-orders
>>96102973Units in allied detachments have to be a different faction
>>96103006Unless you're a macrotek archmagos
>>96102972Liber Mechanicum seem like they're killier than marines but their objective control is reliant on tech priest wranglers for their automata.
Snipe the tech priests and they can't control objectives anymore.

>>96099689 (OP)So, do these have ANY use at all ?
>>96103051You absolutely could, but I'd recommend making them super unique and kitbash them right up
>>96102894>>96102972One is a complete product, the other is a complete product that had parts of it surgically removed so that it can be sold every 3 months for the next 3 Years at 30โฌ each.
>>96102155Thing is like GW you're ignoring a third issue - smaller point value games. In 1.0 and even 2.0(although that had different issues), a specialist could also *be* a commander. In 3.0 if you take a Praevian or whatever to lead your fluffy 1k ZM force you're gimping yourself with inferior mental stats. Literally the only interesting part of the shitty Daddy Issues: The Movie novel series is all the fishes out of water rando characters thrust into positions of authority by horror and circumstance and rising to the occasion, but in the supposedly "herohammer" edition that's not really on the cards because the nostalgia-addled senile poofters running SGS have a ridiculous hardon for Rogue Trader, a system that was considered clunky and unfun enough to replace almost *40 years ago*.
If I'm committing to running 20 man squads of tactical marines, should I have vexillas, nuncio voxes, and augury scanners to get the most out of a big squad? Or am I better off just having a vexilla and saving the points.
>>96103070>Do my bs5 snipers that can freely choose between having (effectively) AP2 or handing out status effects from outside many units retaliatory range have any use??????Idk you tell me
>>96103070>do these guys with 30" range who can force Snap Shots and Rout units much more easily have a use? I'm trying to understand how a unit with a gun that lets them choose who's wounded 60% of the time and resolve those wounds at AP2 50% of the time could have some kind of battlefield use, please help my family are starving
>>96102975Oh I think that goes without saying. I get the impression that the core rules for 3.0 are whatever but the libers are bad, especially for marines which is strange considering that's practically the target audience.
>>96103070Seems to be competing with Veteran Tacticals as shooty elites. If the Kraken Bolters aren't good, then I assume it would be down to whether having a sneaky squad of Combi-weapon users still has any real use.
>red butchers - elite
>rampagers - heavy assault
huh?
>detach states that you can only take rampagers in heavy assault slots.
gw pls
>>96103109>>9610311218 points per model. Even breaching 4+ doesn't make it good.
>>96103070It's okay tier, but probably not as good as other support units.
>>96102137The hero tax is to facilitate challenges and gambits
>>96102437No no no, Scyllax are just random people. Part of the process is making them think they are cute anime girls
>>96103152Unplayable slop?
>>96103152I have issues with those decisions, but what exactly is the issue here? that image seems reasonably consistent?
>>96103152What are you not understanding. It's so you can't take that detachment and include some other heavy assault unit
>>96103178>>96103152Its internally consistent because GW got Red Butchers and Rampagers mixed up.
>>96103185Oh, no, I think it's intentional. If they'd used more abstract icons, things wouldn't be so bad.
Turns out, when you give a force org slot the Terminator silhouette, people will assume all terminators have it and that all examples are terminators. Same with making Veterans a PA silhouette.
>>96103178>>96103184I just assumed that Rampages are elites like they always used to be and Redbutchers (i.e., heavy assault terminator units) are heavy assault units.
In that case they switched places. I don't think this is intentional; I think it's a mistake.
>>96103197That does seem like a fuckup
>>96103197No, it's intentional. They've muddied the water between the two - Heavy Assault overlaps a lot with the old conception of elites, and vice verse. Both Rampagers and Red Butchers would be highly valid for both roles, but since it's GW, I assume the most confusing outcome (the one they went with) is intended.
>>96102685Every other game besides GW ones have moved to that, calm down
Out of everything to complain about this ain't it
>>96103210>since it's GW, I assume the most confusing outcome (the one they went with) is intended.Well, they can't change the book, and they are trying to make as few changes to unit profiles in books as possible. So I guess this is how it is now.
>>96103197>>96103223Also, look at it this way - the main difference between heavy assault and elite is that elites are more limited. Rampagers don't need to be that limited, so they're heavy assault. Red butchers they want to limit a bit more, so elite.
>>96102439I've got 30, considering picking up another 6 so I can have 6 photon thrusters, 6 multi meltas, and 12 lightning guns, and maybe another 6 ursarax as well for 18 of those for the laecrymata detachment
Could someone repost the Lorgar pages please? I tried going through the archive but the generals had a lot of activity since the leaks dropped.
>>96103259use these pdfs
>>96099712 litterbox - LA, catbox - rulebook
>>96103274>Manowar, the power of thy word
>>96101097They can releport there, so that still checks out imo.
>>96101085Yea, it does seem really cool. Probably wont be INSANE in the marine matchup since any army with its own melee units can whallop them, but might fuck up SA or admech. "I moved my thallax and some khorne berserkers are now beating them up" might be unpleasant.
>>96101094The +2 from apothecaries isnt vs the test itself, its to remove the status. So you would test vs whatever as normal, but for the check to remove the status at the end of your turn you add +2.
>>96101787it is a bit silly that the tactical benefit prime advantage and the aux detachment give the same number of dreadnought slots Should probably be two slots in there, same as for most units.
>>96103255Lemmie see some closeups of that there Archmagos. He looks cute.
>>96101789Terminators didnt gain T5 to make them tougher vs the guns that kill them, they gained T5 because now that damage is separate from strength vs toughness they can gain it while explicitly still being weak to those D2 things.
>>96101916Its almost like the goal isnt actually to have terminators be invincible, but to have them have a specialist profile that is very durable vs certain kinds of threats while being relatively vulnerable vs others, or something. The goal is never to make terminators resist thunder hammers, its to give terminators a distinction from "dude in AA with shield"
>>96102017>Now the tax is HQ (GW is shilling them)Its not really a big increase.
Before you had everyone take 3HQ because consuls were mega-nuts and you needed a master of the legion. Now youre going to have everyone take 4HQ, with a large number as generic centurions.
>>96103070You mean aside from the 30" status inflicting guns or the 9" infiltrating meltaguns with BS5?
>>96103290>at the end of your turnNarthecium allows to do that in the Moral SUB phases.
>>96102894>mech detachments>apex>marine detachments>auxiliaryWow, are you telling me the 1/army detachment provides a bigger benefit than the one you can spam endlessly?
Marine apex detachments also (often) provide serious benefits. Atramentar hunt gives them all prime slot benefits.
>>96103070Are you retarded or something
>>96103197Heavy assault and elites both generally cover the conception of "elites" that previously existed. But elites seems reserved for the actual super special elements of a given legion, while heavy assault is basically "heavy shock troops"
>>96103312He is my favorite and probably best painted archmagos, even though he's the one whose probably had the worst in game performance lol. Losing the ability to take jetpacks is probably a good thing because it means I stop trying to jump him forward to punch a Dreadnought and plant melta bombs with his thallax retinue because I think "come on, surely even on a 5+ it can be that hard to kill one rght" and then getting stuck there for 2 turns until the enemy warlord comes in and knocks his lights out
I like Terminators and tonks
I want an army of pure Terminators and tonks
I want to print them

>>96103420No one cares if you print minis or you want a themed army.
>>96103274So his first special rule is that he can give a prime buff to four additional squads? Am I getting that correctly?
>>96103420>Is this likely to gain me a reputation as a cunt?In 2.0? No.
In 3.0? Yet to be seen, but I think both have the potential to be absurd to kill.
>>96103452No, just the 3 non-Prime troops in the Primary Force
I like the overseer (in concept and because he makes use of the auxilia box I got for my birthday) and I'm curious: is there a reverse for militia and auxilia? A way to bring in a handful of marines or just a special consul?
>>96103452One of them already has it but yes
All primarchs are like this. If the troops are filled with specific units it grants them prime
>>96103420Your reputation isn't your responsibility.
People will think of you what they want, Only a fragment of the population actually cares to know you.
You don't have to care about people who don't care about you in the first place.
>>96103476The allied detachment?
>>96103476That's called an allied detachment. And it's even a good way to use an overseer, considering his role is basically a chaplain for mortals
>>96103480Ah, and here I thought he was weaker on melee but better at buffing than other Primarchs.
>>96103488>>96103489I meant some special rule like his.
>>96103496To do what? Let your SA officers join a marine unit? That's not a thing afaik but I don't think we've seen the whole SA liber
>>96103496You can just take an overseer as an allied detachment afaik
>>96103486>Your reputation isn't your responsibility.this is the worst legal advice you can be given
>>96103512I said what in the first post? And I'm asking for 2.0, guess I should've specified, my bad.
>>96103530Sure but that's not what I'm asking. If it's not clear I'm not looking for a way to ally marines into auxilia and I'm planning to, I'm asking purely out of curiosity if there's some special unit or rule that works like the overseer in reverse.
>>96103561A little angry human cracking his whip at some Night Lords
>>96103541Nah it's the best advice when nagivating through life.
>someone makes shit up about you>somehow it's your responsabilityIt's not, and you should stop giving a fuck
Your business is suffering because of lies, sue them, but this ain't about reputation
>>96103491Have a look at his hammer. You see that "damage 3" and the "critical strike 5+"? That means if he ever hits another primarch hes damage 4, which is enough to do two wounds to everyone except big horus, vulkan and mortarion.
Add the finishing strike gambit and he becomes damage 5, which deals 3 wounds to a primarch. Half their HP. He has 5 attacks, if he goes first he has 6 attacks. So he gets near enough 2 crits every time he fights, so he kills most of his brothers over two or so rounds of combat.
Lorgar being weak in melee requires overlooking his weapons being stupid good in the various editions (it was nuts last ed too).
Lorgar beats corax in a fight.
(no seriously)
Corax has 8 attacks, +d3 from the gambit hes likely to pick (flurry of blows) so lets say +2 to bring him to 10. He probably goes first if lorgar does finishing strike. So 11 attacks total.
Hell lets give him 12 because were nice and it makes the maths easier.
He hits on 3s and crits on 6s. So 8 hits, of them 2 crits + 6 going to the wound roll for 3. 5 saves into lorgars 4++ or anywhere between 2 and 3 wounds (average 2.5, but rounds one way or the other)
Lorgar has 5 attacks, hitting on 3s so lets also be nice to him and round up to two hits. They will be crits. Corax then has two 4+ saves and takes 3 wounds out of his 6.
Round two:
Corax attacks again, lets give him 12A again because fuck it makes my life easier.
Two crits again, 6 other hits again, this time wounding on 5s because he is now S5 (his whole unit is also S-1, bad news for any dark furies with him as they fight what is probably gal vorbak). So 4 saves total, two wounds, lorgar lives!.
Lorgar swings back and does around three wounds like last turn. Killing corax. He then scores +6W for combat resolution and has his unit safely dismantle the now -1S enemy unit because those dark furies are now S3 and wound the GVB on 6s.
Its not a clean win, but lorgar CAN beat his brothers in a fight.
>>96103542The answer is still an allied detachment.
If you are playing SA and want a handful of marines you ae going to need to ally them in
>>96103568>NL lotara sarin
>>96103476No but someone might have homebrewed it for rogue traders I imagine.
>>96103575Lorgar is also one of the best infantry killers among the primarchs, he kills normal models in one hit reliably (damage 3), has no issues wounding, and has both reaping blow for more attacks and the phage(S) to provide buffs to his unit (essentially).
Lorgar is actually kinda scary.
>>96103575>>96103616And inb4 "corax is the worst primarch!" He also beats khan.
Khan gets 10 attacks hitting on 3s so lets say 7 hits, he has s6 vs t6 so he gets lets say 4 wounds through, 2 after saves.
Lorgar does the same damage back as he does vs corax.
Khan then gets another 10 attacks, 7 hits, wounding on 5s now (so 2 wounds or so) for a further 1 unsaved wound. Lorgar then hits him again and probably kills him.
>>96103579It's not since that wasn't the question but nevermind, it doesn't matter.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/p0y6yx4s/legacies-of-the-age-of-darkness-what-you-need-to-know/
So, just to confirm I've got this right, if I want to get some vorax and thallax in to help muh muhreens: I take an allied detachment and a commander to unlock two auxiliary detachments if it's a magos, and this leaves me with no units he can reasonably join, so I need to take another commander to unlock more units who can't be retinues (scyllax, echidnax) or elites (domitar, myrmidon) because those aren't available to allies, so mech allies actually basically have to take castellax/thanatar and are outright locked out of domitar (despite previously being literally a Legion choice)?
>>96103688>Weโve also noticed that some of you are concerned that certain units in your existing armies might not be usable in the new edition, especially if they donโt feature in the Liber book for that faction.>Hopefully this article will reassure you that those Tartaros Terminators with power fists, Destroyers with jump packs and lovingly converted White Scars Champions on bikes wonโt be resigned to a life on the shelf.TARTAROS LOSING FISTS WAS NOT A TYPO, REPEAT:TARTAROS LOSING FISTS WAS NOT A TYPO

In addition to the units, the PDF will include options to equip many characters with more exotic wargear including bikes, jump packs and Terminator armour.
>>96103693You can use a prime benefit to get a scyllax or echindax retinue, or just join one of the units away and deal with the penalty. Or just sit him on a backfield objective and use him as sniper bait if you really just don't want to have anything to do with him.

>>96103743First two are new veteran squads that they don't have models for.
The latter is just Tartaros with fists/more heavy weapons?
>>96103744You thought you were getting options on existing units? We don't do that here.
>>96103688They mention some legion armories being expanded, and some of them make sense. But what are night lords getting? Preysight? The contekar weapons available to everyone? What?
Also
>atramentar flay cladeSo, theres an atramentar primary benefit, contekar (who are a special formation within the atramentar) and now a separate atramentar unit? Isnt that a bit much? How big was the first company? How much are we riding this gimmick into the ground? What are we the deathwing?
>>96103688I'm glad there's confirmation that most things are in there but if you are gonna put 90% of the content on a pdf you might as well just have digital rules ffs
The liber=model shit also doesn't add up. Centurions and Praetors have access to the officer list but the other consuls don't even tho there's no miniatures for the first ones.

>>96103784Welcome to unit sheet bloat: The edition.
No options, only new units.

>no nullificators
>no reductor siege tanks
bros...
my fucking armies...
>>96102584>>96102596>>96102609thanks frens, makes me wonder what I should paint next, maybe something Death Guard instead
>>96103796Also one of the most fun aspects of this hobby is converting.
Go play a board game if you want to use stock kits
>>96103794Anon atramentar were a unit last edition too (actually I think they were published twice, once in exemplary battles and once in legacies). My point is that I would have expected the atramentar prime benefit to make the unit pointless and thus removable.
>>96103706>Edition isn't out yet>Too lateWhat
>>96103709New kit won't have them, I guess.
>>96103775>First two are new veteran squads that they don't have models for.They don't have models for any of the veteran squads. The 'Veterans' on the starter box are just tactical with a cross on the right pad. That can apply to any units...
>>96103744>Rampagersemm i think you forgot that they are heavy assault now, can't fly if you are that heavy!
>>96103152
>>96099751Having fun with magnets.
>>96103807I personally would've scrapped the dumb prime benefit and kept the unit with all options.
But I suspect they did the opposite, realised how pissed people were, and backtracked.
>>96103809Atremantar still are pointless though, literally FFS just stop this nonsense and let command squads take chain glaives too and no one would care
>>96103807probably because you can't equip the entire squad with chainglaives so they had to roll out an entire new profile just for that
>>96103784the "expanded" armories are just the old options you dork
"wait for the legacies PDF" sisters... We won...
>>96103817Oh yeah, and HSS weapons are about.
The fuck?
>>96103828Yeah I don't get what HSS veterans could be? All heavy desintegrator?
Well, I called the "veteran (volkite) breachers"
But what could heavy support vets be? The old gun/pistol/melee vets? Or the HSS with chainswords?
>>96103827no you did not lol, If you have even half a brain you will know this was a complete oh shit moment where they had to add a fuck ton because there is no way that they had all of this shit in the PDF ready to go.
Atop of that, anyone whos fucking played 40k in 7th knows full well that PDF legacy is just Hospice care where things go to do.
FFS they even lie in that article.
They say the libras are for current model ranges, well thats fucking bullshit becuase tartaros are the current range and guess what, they come with fists, and they dont have fists in the libra.
Dont be stupid anon, dont buy into this slop .
>>96103835Might be as simple as "HSS, BS5, 2W."
>>96103827Doombots already coping hard lmao. Yet more proof the doomers were nothing more than nomodel tourists that weren't around with the 2.0 launch.
>>96103688>It also means that these rulebooks can still be compact enough to transport to your games.That's the dumbest fucking lie they could have ever told us, it's full of almost empty pages in the libers. Does adding more ink on a page make it suddenly swell to twice it's size? Not to mention we are getting full on 40k tier retardation where a guy on a bike requires a different page from the same guy without the bike. FUCK THESE "PEOPLE". Maybe next time don't fucking turn wargear into units.
>>96103826What old options are NL missing you berk. Chainblades? The ones that are both still technically in the book and mechanically identical to chainglaives? The escaton power claw? NL have never had a big wargear section and they didnt lose much of anything in the edition transition (the things missing that were options in 2.0 are: preysight, which is pointless since theres no night fighting, bloody murder (the option that gave units with the rule +1A and +1" to charge pinned units) and the two weapons mentioned previously)
This isnt WB where tainted weapons were just gone now. We had all our relevant shit. SO what are we getting? The inductii knives? harrower boltguns? what?
>>96103827Damn, did the legacies PDF unfuck the core rules?
>>96103688>Shortly after launchGW folded like a lawn chair and is still working on adding things they never intended to
>Wargear backDoubters btfod
>>96103827I'm gonna be honest even of this makes things good this whole systems seems pointless. Why the split? If you're gonna need a gigantic pdf why sell the books? Why not split the liber into two/three books so they ate more usable? Like, one for all the generic units, one or two for the legion stuff.
>>96103809>been gasing up the new edition for a while>kept talking how it will all be fine and nothing about the units will change>didn't give a heads up before or moment the leaks dropped, only after people found out and had the time to get angry This should've been mentioned either as soon as they revealed the new edition or they should've been faster to react to the leaks.
>>96103848We stayed the course anons. Doomfags are seething and we won
>>96103843>Moving the goalpostsCan't take the L huh, fucking loser. Top kek.
>>96103715This 'To reflect the contents of the boxes' thing is absolutely retarded and doesn't apply consistently to anything
They made the basic units have fuck all and you need to buy special, heavy and melee weapons as separate kits to make half the units
All the Veterans they are introducing have no models at all, it's just a normal marine with a fancy decal.
Both terminator units don't have what is in the box either
I bet half these units are going to be rushed into the pdf bc they were not in originally
The fuck is a tartaros siege squad?
Don't tell me they made a whole new entry to give them actual melee weapons instead of saying it was an errata in the main book?
>>96103855Core rules are fine (except heavy, should still be snapshots if you moved)
>>96103831Please explain to me what makes the atramentar in the lord different from a legion elite command squad other than deep strike and night lord weapons. Genuinely curious because no one has been able to actually explain it to me.
>>96103859>>didn't give a heads up before or moment the leaks droppedThe leaks came out last week/over the weekend. It is now wednesday.
>>96103725Got fixed, it's gone from RG
>>96103843>you did not lol, If you have even half a brain you will know this was a complete oh shit moment where they had to add a fuck ton because there is no way that they had all of this shit in the PDF ready to go.If you don't think this was the plan from the get go I have some lovely beachfront property you might be interested in
>Atop of that, anyone whos fucking played 40k in 7th knows full well that PDF legacy is just Hospice care where things go to do.Yeah that's why fulmentarus, huscarls, locutarus, the castraferrum, and havocs were all unplayable garbage right?
>They say the libras are for current model ranges, well thats fucking bullshit becuase tartaros are the current range and guess what, they come with fists, and they dont have fists in the libra.I'm going to laugh at you for a week straight when we get the new fistless tartaros kit revealed I'm two days
>>96103859Maybe, but they weren't planning for the leaks.
>>96103859Corporations have a release timeline locked in usually months or even over a year in advance. Unless there is legitimate reason to pivot, they aren't going to adjust just because some retarded nerds are having a temper tantrum.
>>96103864I have not moved the goal post ever, i have been saying this shit since the the moment i saw them cut the option. i knew they would get added in a PDF but this is exactly what they did to 40k, they do this to lul you into a false sense of security and then toss your models into the bin in 3 years just watch
>>96103868heavy didn't do that before either?
>pay for our expensive books new edition piggies?
>editing mistakes? missing options?
>who cares, we'll put out some pdfs later
Why pay for something they put no effort into?
>>96103874>Autism tactics viewerbase is 98% 40kfagsI'm not shocked
First the doombros won.
Now the "wait for the PDF" bros won.
Everybody won!
Except the GW staff who now have their summer holidays cancelled to add shit back asap, lol :D
>>96103868Core rules are fine (except basically everything they changed)
>>96103881are you fucking retarded?
>>96103796It's a fake tagline, it's really boxlock and direct upgrade kits to compete with third parties.
>>96103688>It also means that these rulebooks can still be compact enough to transport to your games.Maybe if you didn't intentionally fuck your formatting, you could've fit it in. It fit in in 2.0.
>>96103876>I'm going to laugh at you for a week straight when we get the new fistless tartaros kit revealed I'm two daysImagine laughing at some one for being against getting a new kit with less options and costs more and is not compatible with the decade worth of bits.
>>96103857>Why the split? If you're gonna need a gigantic pdfbecause they don't want to print another 70-100 pages. it's money
>>96103881That's what it did in 2.0...
>>96103688The leaker anon proves to be a hero once again, forcing their hand. Truly a victory against James.
Fuck Pardo by the way.
>>96103880When 4.0 launches you'll still be saying "wait 3 years and see"
>>96103892Then all the rules should be digital. This half ass just devalues the printed rules so even less people will buy them. At that point just cut the investment earlier.
>>96103890>Moving goalposts againJust take the L
>>96103856>Doubters btfodForgive me if I wait and see rather than taking GW's word for it.
>>96103895was thinking heavy sub-type
>>96103820>Unknown Terminator squad assaults rad furnace during siege of ++REDACTED++
>>96103822They were pointless last edition too.
The actual issue is that contekar were a mistake back in 1e, at least with their current lore. 3.0 tries to make it mesh better, but its still very clunky and silly.
>>96103869There isnt, there also probably shouldnt be. The atramentar are just the first company terminator elite, terminators with the buff the prime benefit provides (deep strike, the way the atramentar like to fight, and impact(I) representing their skill in shock assaults/acting as a link to night raptors with the same rule, are enough to represent this in an effective way while also leaving them fully customizable and shit.
They dont have access to our legion weapons, but our legion weapons kinda suck, or arent terminator grade anyways.
Leaker anon is a hero. Praise.
>>96103796>Hammerfall bunkerIt's pretty insulting this is in the pdf when there's still units missing desu
>>96103688>Introduce new disintegrator weapons>Remove NullificatorsThanks GW
>>96103869>Genuinely curious because no one has been able to actually explain it to me.Aren't they getting deep strike and +1i on a charge, which makes them basically into EC command squad termies with hammers? If they are charging, most of their opponents will die.
>>96103843>We got what we wanted!>Only after gw folded though!>Great, we still got what we wanted!>It wouldn't have happened->We got what we wanted!A win is a win. I don't care if it was an act of God that a lightning bolt hit their head drives and the had to redo it anyway.
>>96103910I actually made the same kind of joke to my friends when sending the picture. Great minds think alike.
>>96103902>Then all the rules should be digital.They can't be digiatl only because selling books is money too.
>>96103796> Which is why thallax can't be built with every model having every special weapon out of the book, and Tartaros don't have power fistsFuck their copium and attempt to re write history
>>96103869>What makes them different other than the things that make them different.Ignoring the retarded premise, and assuming 2.0 (since we don't have full 3.0 rules):
- Min 5 max 20, compared to min 3 max 5
- Deep Strike
- Cloaked in Murder
- Fear
- Can be made troops
- no mandatory banner
- can take heavy weapons
- lower WS
>>96103876>Yeah that's why fulmentarus, huscarls, locutarus, the castraferrum, and havocs were all unplayable garbage right?The fulmentarus were literally the single most broken thing at the start of the edition by a significant margin, everyone made a very big deal of it, and most other Ultramarine Legacies were high on the list. Yes, Legacies get even less thought than the usual dogshit writing.
>>96103880Tartantula sentry guns used to be legacies. Now they have plastic models, and rules in the libers.
Fucking tarantula sentry guns, of all things.
Stay in 40k you fucking tourist, you're just embarrassing yourself. Clown.
>shit sandwich posters get BTFO
Lol
>>96103875Jesus fuck, we're losing units again!
>>96103827Trannies like you always lose
>>96103930>We got what we wanted.Whos this fucking WE?! shit?
I did not get what i wanted at all. I wanted a 2.0 update with a addressing of problem child rules and issues, not a complete fucking new edition with all sorts of changes.
>>96103843Macca on suicide watch, go back to bed already
>>96103946>STILL moving goalposts
>>96103947If you think this is not GW panicing to try and save face then you are retarded.
>Tartaros Siege SquadYeah thats totally not made the fuck up on the spot.
>>96103688Still not making the jump into 3.0. GW can eat my ass.
>>96103892>because they don't want to print another 70-100 pagesMaybe if instead of splitting all these things into their own sheets you could have options on each sheet. Would really condense things.
>>96103883That's the new editions intended audience though.
They WANT the 40kek players and WANT to drive the old players out.
40kek players are retarded cash cows. They buy anything and don't question shit
>>96103952Psst, there can be different groups of people on tg. We got what we wanted. You were living in denial before not reading the writing on the wall. Editions churn, that's the new business model.
>>96103884If you think you can crunch out such a long list of units within half a week I got a bridge to sell you.
The legacies rules were finished long before the launch was even announced. The HH team is working on whatever will be in tactica journal 4 or 5 at this point. You don't have the slightest idea how production timelines work, do you, little retard?
>>96103956It's easier to say that than address the arguments, yes.
Arquitor model: Dogshit Resin Nightmare or Tolerable Assembly Process?
>>96103930>>We got what we wanted!>>Units that are only notably more fucked than they were before, but not entirely deleted!>>Even poorer core rules than 2.0!>>Proof that layout can actually get worse!>>Full commitment to the worst experimental results of recent years!KYS troonshill
>>96103943So in other words "theyre actually just normal cata terminators with fear", because thats all they were in 2.0, a worthless waste of a legion unit.
>>96103943>Ignoring the retarded premise,The premise that was set because the former is literally supported by rules now and the latter is an addition I already said should happen so we could put this shit to rest now, but go on
>2.0 rulesWere retarded bullshit because they had to make them different from contenkar and command squads so they turned them into some shitty horde unit instead of the elite executioners of Sevatar like they are in lore, like I specified.
>>96103971NTA, I'm sure most of it was done. But I also guarantee they are adding things last second now directly as a result of the backlash. I would even bet that bike characters were not in at all and they thought they could get away with it. But hey, a W is a W.
>>96103961Cope harder you 40k tourist, lmao
>>96103964They can't because not everyone is a guy who plays in the clubs and notices every small detail in PDFs. There are people who are just buying boxes for their kids to play and spend time together, and they don't need 100 more units or options in the book. Even for a seasoned player, HH is overwhelming enough.
I wish the Siege of Terra had some more surviving traitors to their legions. Loyalist Imperial Heralds that missed their legion's purge by being part of the honor guard on Terra since before Monarchia, Chaos vampire Blood Angels assault company etc.
>>96103982Sure, if you ignore basically everything I said.
>>96103979Go back and and flex your mod powers to your kittens, discord groomer.
>>96103977Depends:
- from FW: 50/50 chance from being a mess
- from Chang: 80%chance of being a good time
>>96103854Step 1: check what 2.0 had
Step 2: compare what 3.0 has
There you go, here's what you're looking for
>>96103987Ah yes, because you only need 3 work days to conceptualise, playtest, assign somewhat appropriate point values, and format unit entries for multiple units.
Make us a unit entry and post it within an hour. Show us how easy and fast it is to do, since you clearly know so much about it.
>>96103977It's a new(ish) kit and it's not an unholy combo of resin and plastic. It should be smooth sailing.
>>96103991>notices every small detail in PDFs.so a clear, ordered list on a sheet is too hard to read.
But a line of text before a half-complete list that also requires you to go check another list later in the book and also might be on the other half of the page under a whole different part of the profile is super clear? Nah.
https://spikeybits.com/the-horus-heresy-saturnine-box-falters-what-went-wrong-for-gw/
Dead in the water lmao
I wish the Siege of Terra had some more surviving traitors to their legions. Loyalist Imperial Heralds that missed their legion's purge by being part of the honor guard on Terra since before Monarchia, Chaos vampire Blood Angels assault company etc
>>96103996It would have been cool. More TS looking following their own agenda or trying to collect as much as possible before being kicked out the library.
>>96104011>playtestlol
lmao
>>96101316>WGE makes Scyllax alternatives>they don't have tits and cute faces
>>96104011NTA, but I am interested in your source for the Legacies leaks.
Because for me, I don't see Legacies unit profiles. I see a list of names, which are super easy to come up with quick. And given we apparently won't see the profiles until after saturnine launches, that's several weeks between the leaks and us seeing a single stat.
>>96103998Lets go through with it then:
>b-but you can take big unitsIrrelevant do nothing distinction, a 25 man unit of cata terminators is still a unit of cata terminators (not that anyone ever did take 25 man unit of terminators, or atramentar in general)
>b-but they can take heavy weaponsSo can normal cata terminators
>b-but cloaked in murderworhtless do nothing rule, so theyre still just cata terminators
>but ws4like normal cata terminators
>no mandatory bannerlike cata terminators
>can be made troopsso can cata terminators
So we are down to "theyre unique and different because they have deep strike", a rule that you can give to regular terminators in NL (using a rule called "master of the atramentar")
>>96103573that's literally what reputation means
>>96104015Most people who look at the box in a store don't even know PDFs exist. People who are buying, painting, and playing the game are an ultra minority in comparison to people who are just buying. You can lament it all you want, but this is reality.
>>96104011Three days? It's delayed and the box drops the 26th. They have weeks to make a handful of units. Also play test? In this economy? You make it sound like it takes a month per unit. I'm sure all the battles units, destroyers, 1.0 legacies were done months ago. But jet bike and termi characters weren't because they want to push the store models and tartaros is getting a new kit so they probably wanted to ignore it. They have plenty of time to add some frosting on top even if they just started today.
>>96104016>this video is privatelol
>>96103575Lorgar will miss all his attacks against a model with +1WS over him 1/7 rounds
>>96104025>WGE model without fat titsWhat's even the point
At least half of this threads posters are low impulse control illiterates who don't deserve Internet privilages.
>>96104008>There you go, here's what you're looking forAnon I listed everything 2.0 had that 3.0 doesent. NL had (have?) a tiny legion armory.
Here is the grand list of weapons that were available in 2.0:
>chainglaive (also available in 3.0)>chainblade(exists in 3.0 but not widely available, same exact rules as chainglaive (and wouldnt have any purpose beyond that since the difference was "less strength but not two handed")>headsmans axe (also available in 3.0, finally worth using)>escaton power claw (exists in 3.0, not available beyond contekar)Non weapon options
>preysight (not in 3.0, neither is night fighting)>a talent for murder (gives bloody murder rule, not present in 3.0)Which of those do you think are going to be part of the "expanded legion armory"? Do you think its just going to be "you can take your other better thunder hammer"?
>>96103971>If you think you can crunch out such a long list of units within half a week I got a bridge to sell you.NTA but I decided to try writing an edition just to see what it's like and I've put down ~20k words in three days in breaks, work meetings, and the odd free hour.
>>96104011>Ah yes, because you only need 3 work days to conceptualise, playtest, assign somewhat appropriate point values, and format unit entries for multiple units.Ah, yeah, port over a preexisting unit, replace Ld with four different numbers each within 1 of the preexisting number, remember that Infantry (Character) is now Infantry (Sergeant, Specialist)... alright, that's three hours of hard work done, now for a three hour smoke break... oh, can I do a second unit today? Nah, guess there's only time for some HR admin left.
>GW do meaningful playtesting
>>96104031>IrrelevantThat's your opinion. It is a factually distinguishing factor, especially in a faction where outnumbering the enemy gives a bonus.
>>b-but they can take heavy weapons>So can normal cata terminatorsSure. But you didn't ask for a comparison to those, you asked for the command squad. Say what you mean or shut the fuck up.
>worhtless do nothing ruleSee, I know how to read, so I know it does something. In fact, it's a slightly better Rage (2), which is a distinguishing rule for many units.
The rest of your points are "Well, this doesn't apply to the unit I didn't ask you to compare it to", which may be true, but isn't my fucking problem.
>>96104039Neat, but totally unrelated to me saying the new formatting is harder to read.

>>96103688>libers are supposed to be for units with models>breachers are in>veteran breachers are notTalk about mixed messages, breachers are literally getting models in like a month or two. You've literally shown teasers of them but you've relegated a whole new sub-variant of them to being in the legacies?
Genuinely what the fuck is this legacies pdf gonna look like cause theres no way it's just dropping with everything, this still smells rotten

>>96104030>>96104042If you have ever worked in development/research for any company you would know how long anything takes, specially when management wants to feel like they're involved. With timelines like that, the team working on HH is already working on tactica journal 3 or 4, and might only have some spare time to do errata and FAQ half a year down the line. Companies aren't nimble like anons seem to think when it comes to shit like this.
>>96104032>literally>isn't literallyThis needs to end now
You can't fix your reputation if your reputation is bad because of lies.
So no, suing someone lying about you isn't about reputation, and it doesn't even fix it.
You'll find even after suing and being proven innocent there will still be people who believe ill of you.
So why even sue? Because it's about stopping the source, not the results, because you can't control what people think, it's too flimsy.
Reputation is not your responsibility, your well being and safety (like your income) is.
>>96104076it's because new box won't have chargers.
Doesn't really explain the tartaros fists.
Though... by these rules, Terminator command squads shouldn't make the libers either.
>>96104059You just listed what is missing, figure it out
>>96104011Man come on
It's obvious they just made up the unit names to put in the article and will work on the rules later
They haven't shown us a profile, just a name
>>96104083I know how long development takes. I've seen projects planned out well in advance, and worked on for years.
I've also seen last-minute MVP scrambles.
>>96104066>But you didn't ask for a comparison to thoseI didnt ask for anything retard, I just explained to you that they were a worthless waste of a unit that were functionally identical to regular terminators. Something you tried (and failed) to disprove.
>In fact, it's a slightly better Rage (2)Lol
On the blue fucking moon you trigger it:
Into WS5
3*1/2 = 1.5 hits
5*1/3 = 1.7 hits
into Ws4:
3*2/3 = 2
5*1/2 = 2.5
Its worse than Rage(2), a rule which is orders of magnitude more useful than it and which doesent require an already advantageous situation.
>>96104016>HH3.0 is such a gigantic failure that it made spikeybits write their first good article in over a decadeWhat a time to be alive.
>>96104089>You just listed what is missingSo nothing then.
Might get one of these now that panic is a thing
>>96104083And yet GW has capitulated to pressure previously exactly like this, SE the vitamin incident. I live in corpo structure and when something like this happens it's suits saying "fix this, now and quickly" and you're left to your own devices to figure it out in time. Then it's either a success and the get to take credit for the order, or do it fails they have a scape goat. I've pulled of plenty of last second "fixes" in this exact format. GW is not some holier than thou ace team. Stop defending the billion dollar company.

>>96104130Yes, all of those are either already there or simply not applicable to 3.0
Preysight, the option that gives night vision, cant exist in the edition where that rule doesent exist retard
>>96104122I mean,they haven't released the PDFs, merely showed what will be in them.
Don't they have until Saturday evening to cobble things together? As that when the legacies get releaaed. A lot of those things mentioned could have genuinely been on the spot additions
>another shitfest about atramentar from people who probably have never painted a lightning bolt
my culture is not your costume, shittler
>>96104115They haven't fixed shit. They just announced a PDF with shit they're making up. It's really not hard to come up with rules for units that already existed and that you don't even need to try to balance. You don't even need to proof read, because it will just be a digital file.

I'm amazed that you don't understand the point of legacy pdf.
There was thing
There isn't thing anymore
So they put thing in fancy pdf
So people who put thing on their minis can still use thing
You put a power claw on a non-contekar? Use the legacy pdf
Get a grip anon, get a fucking grip
>>96104138It's not hard to do
Most of it was probably already done and what's missing can be knocked out by an underpaid intern in a week
Then they run it through chatgpt as a spell check and to "clarify" the writing
Done
>>96104115We can all write names for things that are missing. It doesn't fix anything.
>>96104138>full of typos and units missing random equipmentThen it'll match the libers.

>>96104160Anon the power claw just just a power fist.
>>96104159>Maybe if they werent bad people would paint and build more of them!Except Sevatar, NL unique stuff is shit, it doesn't make Atramentar any more standout in that pile of shit
>>96104163>not that hard to doyouโve seen the quality of their work. tell me if theyโre capable of what youโre talking about
Idk the drop of this announcement feels more like gw is just upset they got caught trying to be ass holes, not like they actually care or give a shit.
Some of these things very much feel on the spot made up, or split into a pdf for no fucking reason.
I mean I'll take what I can get but this feels more like they are apologizing because they got caught not because they actually care
I'm still not sold on 3.0
>>96104102It's bullshit if the Infernus isn't AP3. the tanks literally just a warhound inferno gun on treads.
>>96104178Then there you go, so at the earliest next week on Monday probably. That supports it further that they could have made up half of those things on the spot, to placcate the grumbling masses
>>96104182And the illastus is just a rotor cannon
I'm not asking what you think is right, I'm explaining to you what LEGACY OPTIONS means
>>96104143>>96104127Jesus Christ
You stupid motherfuckers, it's even less likely that they just made up a list of random shit to belt out then they that they made last minute changes to legacies, do you know anything about how large game dev works? There is no "well let's just make up some shit and fill it in later", no one touches anything until leadership gets together and makes a plan of action and then tasks get disseminated so that they can make certain the information they pass to marketing doesn't contradict what they do later. That doesn't prevent marketing from making stupid mistakes due to wrong extrapolation of cliffnotes they get from devs, like calling heavy support squads devastators because that's what they got off a Google search for "space marine heavy weapon guys", but it does prevent them from doing stupid shit like some marketing retard being the one that determines what you have to add to a pdf they have no hand in designing

>>96103796>do you faggots not want to sell extra kits?it is also a lie, they have been selling 5 man units and vehicles with half their option for years.
>>96104183Atramentar were absolutely standout levels of bad, even by "NL uniques" standards.
Contekar are a specialist terminator which, into the right targets, were very good.
Night raptors are a glass cannon jump unit that were borderline 2nd to none at shredding power armor.
Terror squads were overpriced, but they had a plethora of special rules that made them versitile and could provide the pinning that NL really benefited from.
Atramentar were just generic terminators as a special unit. WS4 with a sorry excuse of a special rule, they made lerneans look good since at least those had line and IWND
>>96104195Next week? Saturnine drops on the 26th. That's a minimum of 10 days, probably more.
>>96103688no legion malcador? fuck GW
>>96104190>Idk the drop of this announcement feels more like gw is just upset they got caught trying to be ass holes, not like they actually care or give a shit.They haven't cared or gave a shit since they went public
>Some of these things very much feel on the spot made up, or split into a pdf for no fucking reason.Unlikely since this is the exact same thing they did when they boxlocked 40k
>I mean I'll take what I can get but this feels more like they are apologizing because they got caught not because they actually careThis was never meant to be an apology, it's an article they already had on the docket they moved up by a week as damage control
>>96104199I'm not telling you where I work at but the current FW team that writes the rules isn't as big as you think it is.
>>96104205That goes for a lot of units. Specially terminators for some reason. Like, terminator units that are clearly meant to effortlessly wade through hordes of power armoured infantry without breaking a sweat, yet people think they're bad because they aren't suited to the hot terminators deathstar vs terminator deathstar grinding sessions that everybody seems to love so much.
>>96103971I work in factory, I know produciton. I have clock, I know time. 1+1=2.
>>96104199Bro I work for one of the largest entertainment companies in the US and yes we 100% will pull shit out of our ass last minute especially in the name of damage control
>>96104184I said not hard to do, didn't say not hard to do well
>>96104187Please fill those gaps anon
>>96104199If they're not adding new sheets why is the PDF delayed?
They've done all the playtesting months ago and a free digital document is unlikely to have distribution issues. Why delay it if not to add a few options like these "siege Tartaros"
>>96104229See I don't believe that because the thing is they EXPLICITLY point out tartaros, a unit that people were pointing out. So I don't buy that they had this thing locked cocked ready to go, and just happened to know exactly which unit people were going to be pointing out the most as a example
That's way to much credit to GW
>>96104199>I'll tell you how every company works because I pack things up in a warehouse
>>96103977It's like 7 parts
Takes maybe 20 minutes to do ez as piss
>>96104235Because NL have better units for grinding through hordes of power armor. All of their special units already do it and some of them (like raptors) do it borderline 2nd to none. A unit of raptors on the charge against a pinned unit put out something like 6 attacks each, hitting on 3s wounding on 3s with rerolls against ws4 t4. Its not a niche NL need filling.
So when atramentar, the first company elite, do that same thing (except worse, to roughly the same extent as any random terminator unit can do it) people get annoyed.
Man, the desperate doombots coping is glorious to behold. Really made my day.
Guys, I'm reading through the 2.0 Liber Imperium - is the The Shadow of Death rule ever actually used? I don't see any models, units, or even unit types that call it out.

>>96104254It is not delayed. The legacies were announced to be released in July, but no exact date was given. GW themselves haven't said that they're delaying it. Since the Saturnine box drops during the weekend, it stands to reason that the legacies rules won't go live until the next workday or something.

In addition to the units, the PDF will include options to equip many characters with more exotic wargear including bikes, jump packs and Terminator armour.
