Aeldari ones should be fun since nearly all of ours buff specific units. Aspect Host and maybe Guardian Battlehost will likely be more though since they cover more and generally higher value units than the others

I also like that having multiple detachments and the Disposition system means that they can really lean into certain flavors for detachments without them needing to support the whole army.

Yaa all the weird soup factions hopefully get some wild and interesting detachments now that theres design space for it

I presume this will also help people run Daemons with mortals easier. It sounds like you could run, say, Khorne Daemonkin alongside another World Eaters detachment so you can bring Daemons without nerfing the rest of your army

I just hope I'll be able to run Aspect Warrior buffs and Seer buffs at the same time since those are the parts of Aeldari I like most

I've seen this stuff a lot but I feel a bit out of the loop, what is the origin of the meme which has lead to people putting Calgar heads on everything?
muted turtle
I assume its the fact he got a new model shortly after having gotten an update
royal stone
I've seen this stuff a lot but I feel a bit out of the loop, what is the origin ...
Calgar got a new mini last year alongside multiple other Ultramarines kits (Cato Sicarius, Victrix Guard, later Captain Titus and gang), and unlike those who were all new or had been very old kits, his last kit was from like 2020. Due to the rest of the fandom's general dislike for Ultramarine focus and multiple other factions or subfactions that desperately need refreshes (Drukhari who had just lost all their resin models, Grey Knights, Catachan) or range expansions (World Eaters, Emperor's Children, Votann at the time), many people were very annoyed. Memes started popping up that the desired refreshes would just be the existing model but with Calgar's head since clearly GW is so eager to make more Calgar minis that Ultramarine fans will buy. Immediate next model reveal (I'll try to go find which one) had memes that it too was a Calgar, and the joke has continued since for about a year now
This is one of the first ones

The numbers of space marines has never made any sense
pastel snow
Top comments gets it. Remember even the Small Legions ranged from 6,000 to 20,000
winter aspen
Not really
Tho what I meant about the numbers is more like the silliness of the setting where they act like that small a number of dudes is enough to take over a planet, let alone a galaxy
Partly it's also the paradox where each individual space marine is allegedly a superhuman hero of impossible valour and innumerable great deeds but also when it hits the fan dozens of them die like redshirts to establish threat.

You know, I really doubt we will get that much development, but it would be really cool if this time Ghaz actually managed to destroy Armageddon.

Armageddon is the renamed name of the Ork homeworld of Ulanor. Destroying the planet is not the goal for the Orks

what i really need is some of the non armageddon based detachments
hopefully in the next couple weeks we start seeing some of them
ornate ledge
Well I realized that the 70 detachments they mentioned coming with 11th ed, was actually "70 new and updated detachments." The updated part implies that at least half of those will be old ones reworked to fit the new detachment system better. I wouldn't expect many of them to be balancing changes, more likely most of them will actually look worse on their own, but they will probably be cheap on Detachment points.
I expect as far as new detachments go it will actually be closer to one or two new ones per army and like three or four for marines.
carmine vapor
im fine with that i just wanna see the new stuff and the updated things for ppl im interested in
and that hopefully will be in a couple weeks

Well his previous model came out in 2018, so it had been a few years but it's still a very short gap compared to basically every other named character
Especially considering the number of named characters whose only models are crappy old finecast ones in dire need of replacements (Kharandras, Vect, Rakarth, Draigo, a bunch of others I'm forgetting)
It at least helps that a few of the finecast casualties have gotten new models since like Yriel and Yarric, but the turnover on new Calgars is still insane

In the new edition, terrain works differently. If infantry, beasts, or swarms are wholly within a terrain feature and have not shot last turn, they are untargetable outside of 15" that is their detection range, if that is extended by 3" then they can be targeted within 18"

i mean you can still have defensive positioning its just not full coverage
burnt widget
Effectively doesn’t exist if it’s not full coverage
Becuase the minute you do you just allow open firing lines
Not to mention this prevents you from setting up walls of unit to protect your secondary
This is a huge buff to big unit armies at the expense of little guy armies
carmine vapor
so more elite armies get a benifit ?
or do you mean more swarm armies get a benifit

Everytime I see the aow’s aeldari paint scheme I’m like wow their models look so cool only to remeber it’s only that paint scheme doing it
burnt widget
so more elite armies get a benifit ?
The former one of the key tactics you would do is set up a line of units (in Drukhari it’s wytches or sometimes mandrakes) to block shooting lines or movement. They fall apart when shot at becuase of how consolidation rules work but with that extra turn made it possible for low wound armies to have some measure of spacial control
I don’t think it will fully do this but this is gonna favor stat check style lists where damage and wounds matter more

According to the preview games they streamed, Aspect Host is 3DP. I imagine this means that most armies that have a generalist detachment that is just generically good will probably be 3DP. Gladius probably should be 3DP for Space Marines for example.
royal stone
That does make sense considering Aspect Host covers a lottttt of Aeldari units
8 aspect warriors, the 6 phoenix lord models, autarchs, the Avatar of Khaine, and technically the Crimson Hunter plane and the transports
carmine vapor
According to the preview games they streamed, Aspect Host is 3DP. I imagine this...
virulent vectorium ?
mabey for deathguards 3 point?
ornate ledge
No confirmation on any other than Aspect Host and Ceremite Sentinels which is a newer Space Marine one that gives buffs for being in terrain which considering this is the terrain edition it is warranted. Hopefully if the generalist detachment for an army is terrible like some of them are, they will be 2DP instead.
I also know nothing about DG or Nurgle daemons detachments so I cannot even speculate for you.

My brother let me borrow his purple shade and that made the backpacks turn out really well
The one purple I have is lighter than I wanted so it was good to make it darker

burnt widget
Why is there backlash or why the first half
carmine vapor
Why would 1st half cause a backlash
burnt widget
One of the prongs of our army is three models
We constantly have models that are legal but don’t exists
They didn’t replace the finecast they took from us
We didn’t have a second army rule until like half way through the edition
The models themselves while they look good are some of the oldest in the game not kept around to appease a space marine grognard
I think if you polled 40k fans Drukhari would be in majority of bottom 5 treated factions this edition
Only other ones that ring to mind are admech because price (maybe tau for the same reason) and the magic factions
muted turtle
Didnt Admech also not really have an army rule at the start of the edition?
burnt widget
Yeah but that was fixed pretty quickly
Im not saying we had it worse
Drukhari’s problems can be fixed by models admech’s could not
Both are bottom 5 treatment

He kinda looks like agent 47.
One thing the trailer does very well imo is sell the inherent horror of the setting. It feels a lot more like a place where you'd feel extremely uncomfortable and afraid in a real way than just very big things everywhere.
I honestly thought we'd see big E in his realm of sorts as well, much like the chaos gods.

||The Who??||
devout lark
Malal is just a mostly retconned sorta fifth chaos god who's thing was that he was just pure chaos iirc and hence didn't really jive with the other chaos gods at all, even less than they jive with each other.
He's really old and very much not canon, and the last time he was mentioned was kinda a cheeky reference than anything real iirc.
Dark imperium trilogy spoilers ||In that trilogy, it's essentially a major theme that the emperor has at least obtained a form of godhood of some kind, but it not necessarily be chaos godhood I guess. Just another type of warp divinity.||
Even bigger trilogy spoilers ||It makes him capable of a decent amount of miracles, most impressive of which is possessing Gorrilaman and saving him from an extremely potent nurglite plague, and then seemingly making nurgle kinda worried and burning nurgle's garden till the edge of his manse after suggesting mortarion could be redeemed.||
So it definitely feels like they were pivoting to a direction where (more spoils, even greater ers, including some for end and the death) ||the star child concept returns, we may have two or even three separate somewhat interconnected emperors in existence, as the constant worship has given the emperor immeasurable strength which may not be the same as the dude on the throne, just very deeply intersecting with him while having a more coordinated, cohesive will of its own, embodying what mankind thinks of the emperor. It's worth noting that since the humans and other non tau species living with the tau managed to will the greater good into existence apparently, it's almost a guarantee that the warp has been fuelling the emperor in some way. It just remains to be seen how exactly it's working. Which is really funny because I think it's been recently implied that this is explicitly the one thing Big E really didn't want happening.||
But it has been years since pretty much all this happened so who knows how much of it will be realised.
