Nth for EC

Anons my inner circle knights have arrived. Later today, I will get started with the first one, stripping all the DA ornamentation to make him a knight of the raven. Wish me luck

So, are people just waiting out until 11th drops? Did anyone actually buy the 500 worlds expansion?

>>97634541
I'm gonna get the Maelstrom stuff because I have convinced myself that it will tell GW we want the character customization stuff to come back.

I really like the old ancient crumbling empire with lost miracles of technology from a bygone age. You would think that would translate to the Imperium as a whole but it really feels like they've downplayed and moved away from that aspect more recently.
Least favorite has to be Custodes or Knights. For gameplay reasons as much as lore ones. They just shouldn't be tabletop armies and should have been limited to small allied forces at best.

>>97634544
I'll get it as well, but only because I enjoy pirates and I've been fluffing my guardsmen as RC affiliated goons for the last decade. It's honestly the perfect book for me, shame it's for 10th

It's not an expansion. It's a side game mode. Nothing in that book has any effect on the way you play the normal matched play game.

ha, I fell for it. Zephyrim, Celestine, Palatines, and Sancresants all have melee special rules and melee weapons, and it fooled me into actually trying to fight with them. I forgot that we're still t3 w1 models with s3/4 attacks. Silly me. Across several games everything just sweeps them aside in one round. What a bunch of wasted points lmao. Oh well, had to learn.

The game is an abstracted boardgame for tournament players, who the fuck bothers with narrative stuff anymore? The rules don't even support it.

>>97634574
but what's the answer? the game is more competitive than ever and units/lists are more optimized. if it's not an entire battlefield of LOS blocking ruins, how could you have a 5 turn game? most armies can table each other in maybe 2 turns if there's no cover.

What would be a good detachment for an IG regiment with lots of indirect fire weapons? In 9E I played a castle of Basilisks & Mortars covered by infantry...plus an outflanking force to surround the enemy when they took the bait.

I don't think Siege Barrage is the one, that actually feels like an assault detachment granting cover in the open, firing into melee, attacking after death, etc.

>>97634588
>What would 11th even look like? Things are as shrimple as they could ever be!

I have already talked about this, but mainly I can see two possible ways for GW to go.

1) New Coke
11th slowly reintroduce stuff that GW has removed from 40k, making a big deal about it and ignoring the fact that it was them who removed it in the first place. Expect multiple articles about how cool and thematic this absurd new concept called a Force Organization Chart is. Or how incredible is the fact that equipment is now going to have points.

2) Even more shrimplification
GW decides to go even beyond in terms of making 40k a boardgame and the super entry point for the hobby, and they basically turn 40k into Combat Patrol.

Pick one primarch, loyalist or heretic, to give a model and rules for and then pick another primarch to either remove from the game or guarantee to never get added. Then explain why.
No picking any dead primarchs.

>>97634796
Rogal Dorn and Perturabo respectively

borderline impossible, ork spores still take a relatively long time to grow into orkoids, and there needs to be a massive amount of spores together, or else they’ll stay as a simple fungus or outright wither and die, this means that even a simple routine cleaning will stop any infestation assuming there’s a risk of one happening in the first place.

Space Marines, just boring, babbys first army that some never learned to branch out from and the characterisation of chucking an entire pantry into a blender.

Is there any real evidence that the Emperor viewed actual people as nothing but tools? Putting aside the obvious part about people seeing the Emperor the way they want to peeceive him, theres one detail most forget. Basically all the times he's shown treating those under him as disposable tools its with Primarchs and Space Marines specifically, but that makes sense because the Primarchs and Space Marines literally aren't "people." There are in fact canon individuals who are shown to hold normal human life in regard while completely disregarding any value inherent in Space Marines beyond their use as weapons. Is this just a case of Marinefags forgetting how monstrous and inhuman the Primarchs and Space Marines are supposed to be at an inherent level?

He never expected the chaos gods to actually read his own homebrew and start using it themselves though and he couldn't keep twenty armies painted and up to date at the same time.

>>97635319
by the time you get a few editions down the line you're selling intercessors and the datasheets lists every option that was in the assault intercessor kit, the various upgrade kits, three store aniversary models, and something a white dwarf article made up that never had a model.

The loadout people will end up running will be jump packs with grenade launcher bolt rifles or something like that too

I have nothing to do with the discussion other than being in full agreement with the assessment of the boards lack of understanding for Marines power scale. 5-10 Marines is an absolutely devastating force akin to an Exterminatus order in terms or raw power.

>Sorry, the initiative stat no longer exists. Marines have just as much access to fights first as every other faction now.

Nta, I stopped playing around 7th I think. Past couple of weeks I've been looking into things to maybe get back in to justify owning all this shit I collected over the decades. What I'm seeing so far is the game now is just a boad game with fuck off expensive tokens and ccg elements. Welp here's looking to what 11th brings.

11th is not going to be that different from 10th. Compare 4th to 5th or 5th to 6th at worst. If you think 10th is a boardgame you will think that 11th is a boardgame. You should look for older editions or HH.

This was never a thing.
For example devastators only contain 2 heavy bolters, 2 plasma cannons, etc.
If you wanted one 5 man squad with outfitted with plasma cannons for example (most people ran mono weapon squads even back then), then they'd still have to buy 3 whole kits to make that whole squad.

Problems with the leaderships command structure led to those failures, the Marines did their jobs exceedingly well considering the Tau's severe loses.

>>97635823
yes

>>97635823
that image is awesome, they even got the bad moonz hiding in cover.

>>97635823
The only enemy factions that make sense in a starter are ones with at least one horde unit to ramp up the number of models in the box because a wargame cannot present itself with a total of 20 models and marines will always be elite

so eldar are amongst the few that definitely cannot be added as a starter faction unless they get some new unit of disposable slave hordes to throw at the enemy

Newgen take.

People get really angry when I tell them grey knights are ugly. Conceptually sure, they are. The models? Their ugly AND over detailed.

>>97635860
DE Wyches are 9 points per model
Nid Gants are 6 points per model
Necron Warriors are 9 points per model
Ork Boyz are 8 points per model

It's definitely comparable

>>97635909
agreed

>>97635860
I don’t play DEldar, but wracks aren’t elite right? couldn’t they be used as a box filler?

>>97635900
Not that anon, but lets be real here, an edition starter box would never be allowed to look like this today.
Unlike that guy I don't even think Dark Eldar would be off the table for a starter box enemy faction, but whatever that would look like, it's gonna be absolutely nothing like this

>>97635904
No but what you just did will do the same for you.

>>97635823
Maybe? Orks are definitely the more popular army but they only need like 6 more units updated unless they want to get into all the old forgeworld vehicles.
Dark Eldar are missing like twenty units at this point that don't even have models and a few of the ones they do have are old and busted now.

Someone who's opinion I usually trust recommended this thing to me.
The prose is so fucking god awful I'm considering giving up 5 pages in.
Only other Black Library I've read is the first few Horus Heresy books, Horus Rising-Flight of the Eisenstein, which I liked well enough.
Is everything past that this bad?

>>97635919
Wracks are actually their most elite battleline troop right now at 13 points per model (Kabalites are 11.5 and wyches are 9). Which is weird but that's the way they chose to balance them. It feels like it should be in reverse order.

>>97635900
it was a different time, there's a number of reasons why this format was changed for starter sets

>>97635900
That box is older than most people here, and every starter box since has had a horde unit to fill the box out.
>4th edition had gaunts
>5th edition had boyz
>6th and 7th edition had cultists
>8th edition had poxwalkers
>9th edition had necrons
>10th edition has gaunts (again)

You're right. They would never include terrain in a starter box these days.

>>97635952
They would add more stuff and more characters but the core could absolutely be the same. In the end it had 10 marines and a vehicle Vs 20 Eldar. You add around 10 models of elite units per side, one vehicle for the DE, the usual 4-5 characters and there you are.

>>97635957
With the exception of Tyranids in 9th all the horde units that filled the box were 20 models strong, no different from the kabalites in 3rd edition

>>97635957
Antagonist side, starter boxes
>3rd edition - 20 models
>4th edition - 24 models
>5th edition - 25 models, 3 bikes, 1 character

>8th edition - 27 models, 1 vehicle, 3 characters
>9th edition - 32 models, 1 vehicle, 4 characters
>10th edition - 43 models, 3 monsters, 1 character

Leviathan was a massive outlier, so if they go back to before you can easily have a DE starter that is

>10 wyches
>10 kabalites
>5 trueborn/blood rides
