crisp forge
#

Fyreslayer lookin' ass

brisk vapor
#

I'll slay your fiery ass

hasty sorrel
#

brisk vapor
#

blooms aren't legion specific

#

that bare face version is mwah

crisp forge
#

brisk vapor
#

IT IS BRILLIANT

hasty sorrel
#

tbf atleast with the cyber its like silly but fine

#

the helmet looks dumb af

brisk vapor
#

imagine not being a corvus mark enjoyer

twilit cliff
#

oh yeah its the guy from the trailer

hasty sorrel
#

nothin to do with the mark, its the mohawk

#

looks dumb af

brisk vapor
#

what the heck

#

crests are great

#

didn't even consider the option that someone could dislike em smh

#

but thankfully it's easy to get rid of

crisp forge
#

Eliminate all Marines at once

#

πŸ”¨

brisk vapor
#

Only over my dead body

#

and I have hundreds of tiny space marines covering me

hasty sorrel
#

i doin't mind crests, this one is just too fuckin big

#

as dilara said, fyreslayer lookin ass

tight urchin
#

I like it

#

I have mixed thoughts on the unhelmeted version tho

#

I think his face just looks dumb

#

But it is funny

elfin yew
#

Lmao @ marines having a leman russ sv vs any ap

#

Please jee doubleu my big marine men die easy when I walk forward??

#

No problem son, heres a tank save for being a special boy

green cave
#

Sanctic astartes?

#

Da fuq is a sanctic astartes?

elfin yew
#

Grey knights

urban harbor
#

LOL

green cave
#

Why the fuq they get special names now?

elfin yew
#

Tis a keyword

green cave
#

They are astartes

#

Adeptus astartes

urban harbor
#

cuz they are very special space marines

tight urchin
urban harbor
#

is that an officer?

tight urchin
#

Ya

#

30k legion officers often have crests

urban harbor
#

ok good they got that part right lol

hasty sorrel
elfin yew
#

LMAO

#

Yep

#

Guard buffs look good atleast

#

Hammer of the emperor is insane

#

Marines being the mouthbreather faction further solidified

#

Just barely above custodes

urban harbor
hasty sorrel
#

they probably still can't play the game with it

urban harbor
#

true

hasty sorrel
#

hammer of the emporer is pretty crazy ye

#

i recon it'll prob get removed when guard get 9e update

elfin yew
#

Yee or get baked into the codex as a strat or regiment trait

#

Itd be a bit insane in a updated codex

hasty sorrel
#

ye

tight urchin
hasty sorrel
#

tbh its not too strong with guards current weapons

#

since they have no AP and no dmg

#

metlas are a d6 atm

hasty sorrel
#

and marines now i guess

elfin yew
#

Yee with the nerf quins are back in line

#

I dont understand ths custodes nerf enough to say

hasty sorrel
#

wait since that specifies any "adepta astartes" does that mean all marine models get this

elfin yew
#

Yes

#

Except ones specified that do not

tight urchin
elfin yew
#

Guard is totally playable in casual

tight urchin
#

At least until their codex

elfin yew
#

Its just rough

#

Hammer of the emperor is a AMAZING trait to add

tight urchin
elfin yew
#

Imo it'll be wayyy too strong for it to continue to exist wirh theor 9e codex

#

Not really

hasty sorrel
#

guard just got buffed to work, but guard aren't on 9e yet so are a bad comparison

elfin yew
#

Well, it def DOES effect ir

#

It*

hasty sorrel
#

guard are the only faction not updated basically

elfin yew
#

But codex creep especially effects comp, and to a lesser, casual

#

Because casual players dont milk efficiency out of armies

urban harbor
elfin yew
#

CSM too

elfin yew
#

A reddit comment is not proof

#

Nor is random anecdote because theres a guard player who has beaten everyone at my store other than me

#

And by that logic, guard has like a 80% WR LMAO

hasty sorrel
#

also its sigmarxism

#

which is

urban harbor
elfin yew
#

Literally hilarious

#

No, Its because he sweats his balls off in a casual environment with guard parking lot

urban harbor
#

lol

elfin yew
#

And playing the game like a shooting phase

#

Hes the most annoying player at the store

#

Unfortunately that playstyle gets roflstomped by Cult's natural proclivity to rail castles

urban harbor
#

is the khorne playstyle as braindead as the memes say?

elfin yew
#

I dont think so actually

#

Any melee army is usually going to require more thought

#

Because otherwise you die before engagement

urban harbor
#

thought so

hasty sorrel
#

ye memes are pretty inaccurate on all factions

#

except marines n custards

#

they are as braindead as it says

urban harbor
#

yeah it just seemed like the khorne one may be true lol

urban harbor
hasty sorrel
#

so

#

hammer of the emperor applies to baneblades

urban harbor
#

what does it do?

hasty sorrel
#

if you roll a natural 6 to hit you automatically wound

tight urchin
#

grg

#

There's multiple anecdotes

rare solstice
#

60points for a squad with a lascanon that auto wounds on 6's

#

how many wounds do lascanons do now?

hasty sorrel
#

still just a d6

#

since not 9e updated yet

elfin yew
#

I'd actually be surprised if hand lascannons go to a d3+3

#

It seems theyre mostly doing that for elite factions

#

Eldar, tau and such

#

Cult mining lasers stayed a d6 for example

#

Since you can bring so many of them

#

Same for guard

brisk vapor
#

didn't they do so for the Space Marines so I'd think so about Guard as well

elfin yew
#

Space marines are more elite

brisk vapor
#

but same weapon

#

actually

#

it's D6

elfin yew
#

O

#

Well that answers that then LMAO

hasty sorrel
elfin yew
#

OH you mean the heavy weapons squad version

hasty sorrel
#

so you go from a 10 man squad to an 8 man squad with 1 heavy weapon

elfin yew
#

Sorry I was thinking abt plasma guns I think

hasty sorrel
#

fair haha

#

ye heavy weapons teams

elfin yew
#

Also a minor part of this dataslate

#

Bodyguard now being actually worthless LMAO

#

Gw flip flopping on whether or not they want snipers to be amazing or doodoo

#

I love paying a 70pt premium to give Look out sir to a 90pt model. Especially when every thing which would want to kill that model ignores look out

hasty sorrel
#

tbf with all the like, weapon changes for 9e

#

i kinda don't feel snipers are worth it?

#

unless you are against standard SM

elfin yew
#

Some are, most arent though

#

The Sanctus and the uhh

#

Imperial sniper

#

Can have niche uses

#

The sanctus especially

#

He does less dmg but can drop 4 dmg on someone with a relic and also has a bunch of utility

#

Hes very capable of oneshotting low wound chars

#

So cult, eldar, guars fairly reliably

hasty sorrel
#

most snipers are 1+1 mortal which is

#

fine? but not great

elfin yew
#

Yeppp

hasty sorrel
#

except the fact u can take em for free on guard squads now

elfin yew
#

Ranger teams just became way more dangerous to chars

#

Having bodyguard was p much the main reliable way to keep a low wound char safe other than just

#

Hiding beyond a crate

#

Against factions with decent snipers

hasty sorrel
#

tbh i think rangers deserved to be more dangerous

elfin yew
#

Yeah, its just not very fun gameplay wise imo

#

To have a character dropped like turn1

#

I run snipers alot and I know this

#

You can just absolutely dismantle certain factions entire game plan by dropping a key character or such

edgy cipher
#

Unless my character is a tank and now can be freely aimed at

elfin yew
#

Tru

#

Wait, did they ever actually fix crisis bodyguarding longstrike?

#

Feel like the bodyguard nerf was a overreaction to some fringe interactions

#

Kinda like the airplane restrictions lmao

proud gorge
#

Well that’s because of FAA restrictions

elfin yew
#

Mfers at the airport grounded my plastic planes

#

Said it was a airspace violation

proud gorge
hasty sorrel

these new guard rules are fun tho ngl

dusk osprey

yeah she's just a standin

edgy cipher
#

I tend to overdramatize and meme how little attention guard get but this is getting ridiculous

#

They couldn't even come with a special sheet

dusk osprey
#

Well their lasguns can zop tanks now

#

so thats cool

edgy cipher
#

Same thing with that Company commander guy with a power that looks like the guy from predator

#

If by that you mean deal 1 wound, yeah

dusk osprey
edgy cipher
#

😩

#

Why must you do this to me Gawain

#

But yeah now, if you have 300 points of guardsmen, you might be able to make a 150pt tank go half hp

#

Which is nice

Chaos players about to realise that having 2 wounds in a marine centric meta won't help them (the additional cost is gonna fuck em even harder)

brisk vapor
#

Tac Marine is 18 points atm, think if they'll raise CSM Legionary to the same points costs they'd be a bit better choice given the better attacks and leadership

edgy cipher
#

Don't use the tactical marine as base, use the intercessor

elfin yew
#

With armor of contempt I think they'll b good

edgy cipher
#

So a 20

elfin yew
#

Do we know any of the Marks and what they do yet?

edgy cipher
#

Nope

elfin yew

If nurgle has like a FNP mark or -1 dmg ability that'd be godtier

edgy cipher
#

Only that hateful assault has been melded into the attack stat like all CSM

elfin yew
#

Yeee

edgy cipher
#

Also, currently building a TS army list

#

sheeesh

#

Hard to do

brisk vapor
elfin yew
#

According to a leak

edgy cipher
#

I'd agree but tactical marines are not widely used because no Primaris keyword

#

Also

elfin yew
#

Tzeentch sounds really good if you can mark vehicles

edgy cipher
#

Balefire acolyte upgrade confirmed to be mini psyker as a sergeant in the squad

#

like ts

brisk vapor
#

Primaris keyword doesn't give any other benefits other than a couple stratagems and repulsor/impulsor access

elfin yew
#

You need primaris for Transhuman and auspex scan right?

edgy cipher
#

Problem is that its one of the mandatory stratagems though

elfin yew
#

Which are real good

edgy cipher
#

and scan yeah

edgy cipher
#

Plus it means forcing yourself to tailor your army to having firstborn aka fielding normal rhinos to transport em etc

#

Stuff you won't be even able to use on most of your armies

brisk vapor
#

I'd argue rhinos can be better than the expensive repulsors and impulsors

edgy cipher
#

And doing firstborn army means getting rid off transhuman and auspex, so essentially dunking yourself over

brisk vapor
#

but depends on the army in the whole

#

Yeah I am not arguing first born would be a better choice by any means

#

but I do still think tac marines will be the closer equivalent to legionaries instead of intercessors

#

Legionaries could be pushed to 20p a model because of the extra stats they'll get still

edgy cipher
#

Well currently their basic statline is superior to the 20 pt intercessor

#

We'd need the full sheet to be right

brisk vapor
#

also seems like the Auspex Scan stratagem is for any Adeptus Astartes Infantry instead of Primaris

#

Transhuman and Gene-Wrought Might are primaris only

brisk vapor

A couple more gems

@kind lava I would not use citadel, overpriced and you don’t get much! I highly recommend TAMIYA brand (thin) for your regular mini models. You get so much more and better control of the glue for clean builds

They also have thicker brands for larger models

The Leagues of Votann are on their way, and everyone’s excited to find out how these doughty space-farers fit into the vast setting of Warhammer 40,000. The Leagues have a long, storied history of independent strongholds, bound together by the Votann – but just what is a Votann, anyway?

A secretive people in a galaxy full of mortal threats, the Kin do not discuss the nature of the Votann with outsiders – by sacred custom and sensible caution. The word is used freely enough, but no-one beyond the Leagues has any clue what it refers to.

There’s good reason for this reticence – if the secrets of the Votann were ever revealed to the galaxy at large, the uneasy peace between the Leagues and the Imperium of Man would quickly crumble.

#

Why? The Votann are Ancestor Cores – super-cogitators, gestalt repositories of inherited wisdom and knowledge. Each League has its own Votann, central to its way of life, and no Kin would hesitate to lay down their lives to protect it – these venerable cogitators are as sacred to the Kin as gods are to the more spiritual races. That’s the sort of thing the Adeptus Mechanicus has strong opinions on.

Within these self-organising datastacks and quantum infocores is held all the information a people might need to survive among the stars – weapon specifications, military theory, genealogical data, science, philosophy, and even Standard Template Constructs. There is an unimaginable wealth of lore buried in each Votann, which cannot be allowed to fall into the more superstitious hands of outsiders.

Of course, the 41st Millennium being what it is, not all is well among the Votann – it turns out that even machines of near-limitless power can eventually run out of memory. Whoever first created these marvels did not design them for tens of thousands of years of constant operation, and the sheer weight of data they are forced to compute has begun to slow them down.

#

Some have developed idiosyncrasies – what might even be termed β€œpersonalities”. When once the Kin would have received an answer to a tough question in a matter of moments, as the 41st Millennium comes to a close, some Votann can take decades – or even centuries – to deliver the same solution. Day by day, year by year, the Ancestor Cores become more eccentric and mercurial.

There are plenty more secrets where that came from, held in Warhammer Community’s very own Ancestor Core – we’ll have more to say about the Leagues of Votann once we work out how to get it to answer another question. In the meantime, keep checking back – and sign up for the newsletter to get all the latest ancestral insights delivered right to your inbox.

Also the developing of personalities

Ugh

#

damned if you do damned if you dont

hoary ermine
#

Even if you purge all useless data you still have slowdown

#

this is how computers work

#

This is how storage work

#

why do you think it takes humans longer to think of specific details

green cave
#

The good thing is that they are pretty much STC 2.0

hoary ermine
#

like jezus this pretty much screams STC but space dwarf adjusted

#

how does it not have a personality

#

stcs of the normal mankind expansion were already growing sentient

crisp forge
#

Yeah with this it says it has the features of an STC as a side mention

#

so it can print stuff but is clearly its own brand of tech

hoary ermine

#

it also looks like people can be hooked up to these systems

Day by day, year by year, the Ancestor Cores become more eccentric and mercurial.

its just a warcom article

We havent even gotten a full lore dump yet

#

the only "grimderp" is that they are keepin it a secret or there would be a war

hoary ermine
#

why wouldnt ai be that way

hasty sorrel
#

which is like, eh

hoary ermine
#

i mean, the cogmechimus wouldnt like it

#

so... best to keep shush

#

imagine the amount of ships that would launch of the votann cores ever got public

green cave
#

Although the images and the description are extremely similar to the STC used by house van saar

hasty sorrel
#

i mean, its an stc effectivley, an old cogitator

#

as long as no one calls it an AI its fine

hoary ermine
#

looking at what the core looks like + that its an STC adaptation, its definitely the same style STC as that of vansaar

#

though... the vansaar STC is apparently very snarky

hasty sorrel
#

itd also be nice to have that as an open internal rift instead of "oh they dont know"

#

less fun

hoary ermine
#

imagine getting chewed out by a 20k yo ball

''Grand ancestor core, what would be wisest for us to construct for a voyage as boon for the... mechanicus of mars.''
why the fuck even bother me with this you goddamn smallbearded bead sucker, theyll get happy with any old technology, give them the fucking fridge for my sake

i do wonder what the books for the leagues are gonna be

Does anyone have tips for trying to write stories, ive had little success

I just open up skyrim ambience and let the words take me

#

its a hard process

fickle owl
#

depends on what you are trying to write about. I tend to start with what I find to be the building blocks to the world and go from there. If I need to set up a dnd campaign story I can belt off a whole pantheon of gods, a list of cities, kingdoms, and various other political and economical factors for what each city specializes in and what they are currently dealing with.

#

I also tend to find mental visioning of what I am trying to write about helps a lot and gets me in the mindset of really immersing myself in the setting I am trying to write.

violet quiver
#

This is a broad topic I could spend days on

#

What specifically are you feeling unsure about?

#

What’re you getting stuck on

kind lava
#

So i'm really good with making characters, but i fall very short on quite literally the story itself

#

I can get a good concept every now and then but often i dont know how to piece the little i write together

#

And theres always starting the story but i hear that eveyone has trouble with it so im not as worried

violet quiver
#

Look up some story structure stuff

#

Find one that you like

#

And plug some scenes in

#

A really cool thing i love doing is writing out some synopsis of scenes on index cards

#

And just kinda plugging them into difference story structures

#

Story Engineering is a 10/10 book that anyone interested in telling a story should read

#

And re-read

Also watch/read stories with good structure

At the top is that a comtemtor class Dreadnought? With a uncovered space marine head?

oh no, that was supposed to be a redemptor dreadnought proxy, i accidently fucked it up

#

so now its a melee focused dready that looks cool, i plan on giving it away once i finish painting it

tiny thistle
#

Hmm… but is it’s head an actual head not a helmet? Because I’ve never seen a space marines head sticking out of the dready

#

Because it looks like a head with a mask and optic attachments

i mean afaik that is the most basic foot troop of the squats so

vale sleet

I mean yeah, but a lot of good weapons are St 5

crisp forge

Thats a necron warrior

#

And almost no basic weapons are s5

vale sleet

You know what, fair enough, im just used to higher tougness units i guess

elfin yew

The only like, nornal s5 infantry weapon is a lulse rifle

#

#

T4 is abt as high as you get for infantry unless ur a ork at t5

vale sleet

Actualy gauss reapers are St 5

elfin yew

Then 2

and Tyranid warriors are T5

Thats a elite infantry

Id bet theyn be vehicle focused

#

Yep, im sure bikes and landtrains will roll in soon

#

thats like instant cash

vale sleet

if they feel like bikes are too silly, just make them landspeeder ripoffs

#

simple as

hoary ermine
#

bikes and landtrains are a must

#

theyre dumb if they dont

vale sleet
#

but they NEED the train

#

I dont care how badly it fucks rules

hoary ermine
#

So my issue is; the land trains have 2 variants

#

hover train and tracked

#

im afraid theyll go with hover, which isnt bad

dusk hill
#

Idk how well would a big clunky train work with these new squats?

#

Maybe if it's hover yeah

hoary ermine
#

Land trains uh

#

are the main use of transport the squats used

urban harbor
green cave
#

Did we got more info about the Votann?!?!

hoary ermine
#

engineering guilds especially

vale sleet
hoary ermine
dusk hill
#

Ala a bunch of marine hover tanks chained together with various different armaments bolted to the top of each wagon

hoary ermine
#

Like the engineering guild drove across the planets in land trains because of how much resilience and storage they gave

#

yknow, as we know

#

trains are great for direct defensive mobility

#

remove the actual rails and youve got a behemoth transport

dusk hill
#

Yee I can see that working

#

Big box of doom

hoary ermine
#

though... im afraid they cant make them as epic as people expect

#

they cant let people put down 7 baneblade size traincarts

#

thats too expensive for the general wh army player to buy

#

but only 3 links looks shit

urban harbor
#

btw. what are those little stands they are using in the Andy Serkis paints video i posted called?

#

the ones the models they are painting are on

elfin yew
hoary ermine

i hope the trains have options for motion

considering the squats arent dumb and would put mag systems on trains in case of water

what primers are recommended for plastic models?

I usually use citadel but Im sure army painter and Vallejo probs have altd

kind lava
#

hm okay

#

and i assume that the skitarii box is the best for a learning painter that wants to paint mechanicus?

vale sleet
#

The one with the bots or the crawler? Ethier way both have a good mix of big and small stuff

kind lava
#

just the 10 skitarii box

vale sleet
#

Oh, you probably can paint ok with them. Bigger models are easier but if you can paint one ok, you can paint the other

dusk hill
#

skitarii are fiddly, they've got a lot of small parts

#

but if you're not a detail nerd they're quite easy imo. Just something for the fabric, something for the metal, and you're done

kind lava
#

nah, but im gonna go for a Gryphonne VI scheme (or IV, i can never remember) so we'll see how that goes

#

ive heard yellow is a painful color

dusk hill
#

yeah super bright colours in general can be hard to work with, it's harder to get a smooth coverage

#

if ur gonna go with yellow i'd advise to use a lighter primer, makes it a lot less panful

kind lava

at least the weird thing at the bottom looks like a monster

just hope it will have more head options, that one isn't that great imo

Those seems easily usable in 40K too i think

#

Oh hol up

#

They do have 40k rules but theyre fucking boring

#

Classic 40k vs AoS comparison

#

God especially with daemon factions, AoS is so much better

#

I considered running my Disciples in 40k but
A) Their best looking models dont cross over
B) their rules are sleeper

hasty sorrel
#

the only interesting fluffy 40k rules are like

#

GSC and IG

#

but IG are a codex behind

green cave
elfin yew
#

Yeah

#

I still standby that 40k Daemons would be better seperated into 4

hasty sorrel
#

or just as sub factions

elfin yew
#

They already are sort of subfactions I think?

#

With marks and such

hasty sorrel
#

id rather not have the codex rotation bogged down further, chaos players players already complain enough they dont get updates despite being like

#

4 seperate major factions

elfin yew
#

The reason AoS daemons are so good is because each God has a army's worth of effort put into them. Rather than being treated as 1/4th of a faction

hasty sorrel
#

wait no fuck, 6 as of chaos knights

elfin yew
#

LMAO

#

Perhaps they should cancel Leagues and do the armies they already have
