I think it looks more like a puma.

Is the Rhino also named the Rhino after the man that rediscovered its STC?

Why would anyone take these over a predator?
Games or tabletop.
Yes, John Rhino, one of the boldest rogue traders.
Because the Rhino carries infantry and the predator can't?
PREDATOR HERE, THE ARMORED FIST OF CHAOS
durrr why would somebody take a personnel carrier over a tank
gee fuckwit i don't know
No, it was named after a actual Rhino.
That Rhino discovered the STC.
Comparing an APC to the best battle tank of the imperial guard.
Stay seething, muhreen
Ah yes, the epitome of imperium engineering. Simple, robust and reliable.
Ah yes, a basic bitch infantry squad, just let me spend more point on those faggots moving an extra 6 inches once so they can kill maybe 4 orks one turn earlier while the rest of the army catches up.
OR I could buy a predator and have everything move up together and actually kill some shit.
Dumb cunts.
You doubley so since you go straight to insults like a fucking child.

Rhinos fit 12 now? Huge buffs for the marines.
Chimerasissies in shambles.
Rhinos fit 12 now? Huge buffs for the marines
Most transports got a small boost to capacity now that you can no longer buy squads in random sizes (well you can use less models but you're still paying for them) so to actually fit squad + leader and one of those support characters that can join units with leaders you need 12 capacity. This trend is all throughout the game.
See pic - though spiky space elves don't have any of those smaller support characters so they only need one additional capacity.
The Falcon chassis is the most aesthetic base tank in the entirety of 40k and you can't prove me wrong.
Looks like some fucking Vanu shit from Planetside.
Don't mind me I'm just dropping a 20 warriors blob + Orikan (4++ saves to everyone) + Imotekh (to torrent overwatch and use his ability to mortal wound your entire army next turn) + cryptothralls (4+ FNP to Orikan so precision just bounces off him) in your deployment zone on turn 1 with infinite move fly
The Falcon model is older than Planetside.
I kinda wish I was kidding, the current model hasn't really changed in over 20 years.

what the fuck is that
there's only SPACE MARINES and TERMINATORS, like god intended
It's from the original pre-Imperial designation of RH1-N0.
A rhino can transport 10 plagie marines who do about 5x as much damage as a predator :)
wulfen have existed since 3rd edition.

the current model hasn't really changed in over 20 years.
You're underselling it, the base Falcon has remained literally untouched since it released all the way back in 1997 - there's a very strong chance that it's going to make 30 years old before it gets replaced.
Why spurn what's perfect? Yet they still had to "re-imagine" the perfectly good space marines into pr*maris shit.
Picture related, a real space marine.
?
i'm a 4th edition baby and i never touched space wolves
imperiumchuds be like
dem STCs be sacred un shieet and I'll use them even doe age of technology humans be heretical and reject mah emprah
[laughs in capitol imperialis]
GW's wittle baby aedeptus aestartes can't get overshadowed by the chad imperial guard so they had to make them a tank that's bigger and tougher than the baneblade so their sperm sucking fans don't get mad
wew
Innovation and advancement! That's the Imperium way of the modern world!
not canon
enters a dick measuring contest
loses
starts insisting dick measuring contests aren't cool anyway
In game? Because the pathfinding sucks balls and a vehicle can dump 3 squads at once without something like the heavy bolter shit happening. It also takes less vehicle cap so it’s effectively costing you one dreadnought, which you can recruit and orbital drop once it gets blown up anyway.
not canon
Bitch it had a model and rules.
not a single 40gay game has a fun to use bolter.
Or plasma rifle, while I'm on the subject.
I'm not complaining too much, the Eldar tanks have aged wonderfully.
It's funny to see Primaris now that Eldar got a full Aspect refresh that's basically 1:1 with a few extra options, with no lore fuckery at all.
Darktide’s plasma gun is fun.
The bolter can also be satisfying if you get the right veteran build, but sucks if you don’t.
Why does the Bradley exist when we have the Abrams
base kit is old enough to drink
GW itself is proving you right.
fun to use bolter.
Fire Warrior.
Well not everything ages so gracefully, even for Eldar.
Does that mean on the war scarred hellscape that is 40k Earth there's actual Rhinos still alive?
cant wait for DoW4 to be announced later this week and it be primarislop trash
or a DoW1 remake and its primarislop trash
Why does 40K XCOM not exist yet? Does GW just think it'd encroach too much on their plastic sales if they made a digital version of tabletop?
NOOOOOOO MY LARGE ENHANCED SUPERHUMANS ARE LARGER AND MORE ENHANCED TO ABSOLUTELY ZERO GAMEPLAY DIFFERENCE! THIS GAME IS RUINED!
Owlcat's Rogue Trader plays like discount XCOM
Daemonhunters?
Yeah, and the Mechanicus game exists too, but I want full-on muhreens, tanks, guard, knights, xenos, daemons, etc. with huge battles like TT.
I guess 'xcom' isn't really an apt comparison, frankly I just want digital TT.
I don't care what anyone says, the War Walker is still perfect in my eyes, I hope it never gets refreshed.
Does GW just think it'd encroach too much on their plastic sales if they made a digital version of tabletop?
Legitimately yes.
GW announces an update to the War Walker
Brief moment of people wondering what they changed
They're just putting two of them in one box now
Made me chuckle.
They probably got exported to a different planet during humanities golden age.
Why does 40K XCOM not exist yet?
It's been existing well before you were born bro. It's called Chaos Gate.
How do i get better at painting models if i use brushes exclusively?
Smaller brushes.
It's funny to see Primaris now that Eldar got a full Aspect refresh that's basically 1:1 with a few extra options, with no lore fuckery at all.
I'm genuinely thinking of selling my SM army and starting fresh with either Eldar, orks or CSM. I got a bit of each already. Nu-space marines are so lame.
Post models
Why does 40K XCOM not exist yet?

Depends, do you mean this week's rules or next weeks's?
bwuh?
Not mine but I got about 1500 points of CSM gathering dust in here somewhere. They started off as Alpha Legion, but I couldn't make them look good so I re-did them as Word Bearers, which looked even worse (I never could get the kind of red I wanted) so I conceded and went with the easiest possible legion which is Chaos Ultramarines (aka Black Legion), so picture somewhat related.
I need to paint my Hawks.
Here's another (not mine) that I used as reference picture to find out how certain colors work together.

prime everything black
dry brush everything
ruin all your brushes
the more ruined they are, the better they are for dry-brushing
feel your IQ go lower and lower with every stroke of the brush
do the trim
call it a day
I had fun doing it way back. I did not have fun correcting mistakes because turns out you can't really re-dry-brush to cover the trim you messed up or the hazard stripes you tried and failed to do
BREAK THEIR BACKS
Damn, I didn't even consider that. Iron Warriors ARE kinda based...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
LET THE GALAXY BURN
DoW2 was kino even though it was bit of a departure from DoW1.
The Falcon got an excellent face-lift courtesy of Forge World but sadly it's been OOP for ages.
They're neat when you're learning to paint since your base layer is pretty easy to do and they teach you to be careful with your details because you can't really fix your mistakes.
Vehicles are annoying since you have to figure other ways to get a uniform coat of metallic paint (protip : don't use Vallejo silver)
No need to change perfection.
Look at this Rhyno.
Here's my Genestealer Cult on a crusade against my friends SoB.
You now remember the Iron Warriors having access to a Basilisk.
Skulls event on Thursday
Another year of begging and rumors for Total War 40k, DOW4, or literally any kind of big budget xenos game
Another year of nothing happening
Going to be a long week.
Is it even really a tank or is it more of a weapons platform. Those vents and glass canopies can't be good for a tank even with magic eldar technology
the mon keigh doesn't get it
Typical.
Eldar tanks aren't designed to stop and shoot, anon. They fire and do drop-offs and pickups on the move.
Feels like the area you'd have to clean up around the trim would be a relatively minor part of the drybrush effect so it wouldn't be too bad if it just ends up a solid colour. If the drybrush left it pretty much black that's easy, but even if it left a metallic gradient right up to the edge of the trim the correction still probably wouldn't be noticeable to anyone else.
I swear I accidentally started doing like, an inferior pseudo drybrushing my first time painting space marines leadbelcher, my first time painting anything. Like I used a fairly large, flat rectangular brush going for regular basecoat coverage, but that kind of brush has the effect of not really getting down into the recesses so it tends to leave black panel lines and stuff if you've primed black.
Why did they trade box tanks for gay hover vehicles?
New Primaris Vehicle.
Because they wanted to overhaul Space marine tanks to actually look like something used by a elite fighting force and not shitty boxes sold by GW before they knew how to make vehicles.
give it a lick
For tabletop, there were a variety of reasons. It was dirt cheap (usually) and provided a body to protect the more important contents inside. It's was also really fat and wide so you could body block entire sections of the board with it to prevent assault avenues or troll the enemy by ramming enemies with it to force them out of position. Note it was ram, not charge, the difference was that the vehicle goes full speed at a target and stays there compared to the new charge rules where you can fail and stay put. It was also good even if it died because unless it was a total destruction, vehicles kept the model on the board.
There were a lot of reasons to take Rhinos.
Because British tanks look ugly as fuck. Also it’s getting hard to sell the game as a sci fi setting
The local Games Workshop employee convinced me to buy the Emperor's Children combat patrol box.
I read that they're metal and rape Space Marines, salesman told me I should add dicks and booba whenever I could.
that's just a maus
Minor lore fuckery. Modern GW writers are still shit like most modern writers, so had to change what wraithbone was. Before it was a physical manifestation of pure psychic energy made into a malleable source. Now it's a mixture of plastics and some metals, meaning this super rare material that only the Eldar knew how to use because it requires the person using it to be psychic...can basically be done by anyone if they examine it hard enough.
They sucked the mysticism right out of it for some lame ass explanation no one really wanted in the first place.
only one kind of main armament
doesn't have a million additional pintle and sponson mounted peashooters
not even floaty anti-grav nonsense
No way. That's a manlet ride.
Look at this Rhino (floating) (PRIMARIS MARINES ONLY)
"Hover" tank
Can't even fly
Sure as hell can't Deep Strike
So uncivilized.
I hate how the Impulsor almost looks good until you see how it looks from the back.
What units are missing from warhammer in your opinion?
Jeep and light tank for guard
Technical and prop plane for genestealer cults
Actually, that's E-100.
How come there wasn't any story about Old Marines rebelling and turning traitor because they got phased out by the larger, smarter, beefier Primaris Marines?
It would have been kino and a mini-Heresy event for the Imperium.
Jeep and light tank for guard
you mean the tauros and taurox
I think there were some chapters not accepting Primaris (at first), mainly BA.
But I'm a xenosfag, so I could be wrong because I care little for marines.
The Chaos specific cults like World Eaters, Emperor Children, etc are missing so many units right now it's not even funny. No bikes, jump packs, or custom dreadnoughts.
Download open x-com and the wh40k mod? It's the exact thing you are asking for.
because the entire point of primaris marines is to phase out old marines
that's why most old marine models dont have rules anymore
legends rules do not count and you know it
The BA and quite a few others were at first refusing to accept them because it felt like another insult shoved onto them by Guilliman who has a penchant for being a beauracratic asshole. The Sons of Sanguinius felt it undermined what it meant to even be a Blood Angel if these new recruits didn't have their primarchs gene seed, warts and all. They'd just be Ultramarines in red armor.
Will Dawn of War 4 add the Spess Mehreen super heavy grav tank?
Because most marine chapters aren't that petty.
I don't think GW wants primaris to be seen as a bad thing
Of all the design choices for Primaris vehicles it's the fucking heavy stubbers that trigger my autism the most. For decades and decades stubbers were explicitly described as being antiquated and primitive technology even by Imperial standards, and for some completely mystifying reason somebody decided that the shiny new Primaris vehicles supposed to represent genuine technological advancement should be covered in... a gun that even the Imperial Guard consider to be a bargain-basement weapon.
It's so fucking stupid it hurts.
Most major marine chapters also suffered catastrophic losses before Primaris marines got introduced
You forget that the heavy stubber also appears on a lot of imperial knight variants as well. Almost like it's an afterthought of a weapon choice. It usually is, I mostly saw people swap it out for a meltagun. IE a gun that has a chance of actually killing something.
Second Founding was 75% Ultramarines
Primaris were made in Mars using tithe gene seed stock from these same legions
Wrong, wraithbone is still warp energy the bonesingers sing into existence and shape into physical structures, gw just added the unnecessary information that when that warp energy becomes physical material it is transmute into mundane composite materials whose exact properties depend on what the wraithbone structure being shaped is supposed to be.
So non eldar still can't make wraithbone, nor do the Eldar need to mine materials to craft it. It is still sung into existence, gw just explained what it exactly is to greater details, though arguably to the detriment of the mystique of the Eldar
but anon these are improved stubbers that's why they're called ironhail stubbers see they have 1 AP over normal stubbers
or they did in 9th I haven't been paying any attention to 10th
Space Marines have the most potent tank in the lore. At least during the Heresy. A Falchion Super-Heavy is the Guard Shadowsword equivalent but better in everyway. Reaver and to an extent Warlord Titans struggle to fire what the Falchion does.
I'd forgotten the new specifics, but I do know that there's a lot to 40k, and other fictional settings now that I think about it, that don't need explanation and work better if left mysterious. All this shit doesn't really need to be explained so thoroughly, it feels like it's the opposite of creative when you just give everything mundane explanations or some science mumbo jumbo shit that might as well just be magic anyway.
Yeah, modern gw writers don't know well enough to leave shit alone and leave something up to being a mystery
I would argue than in practice a Warhound equipped with dual twin turbolasers is putting out more effective firepower than the Falchion's twin volcano cannon.
Because old Marines can fairly easily become Primaris Marines. That was the whole point; the only major change is that there's an extra implant and a wargear upgrade.
Most of the Chapters who were iffy about Primaris quickly realized that there wasn't actually much changing.
That's what happens when lore books are a business, you have to write shit so it sells, and in order to sell you have to link it to known characters/events, so you end up in a Star Wars EU situation where every single little thing about the movies is explained and expanded to death and the mystery of the setting dies to satisfy lore autists who buy those books.
More effective maybe, but not more potent. Titans have more potent weapons like Warlord Conversion Beamers which are explicitly more powerful than Volcano Cannons when fully charged.
Because old Marines can fairly easily become Primaris Marines.
When Primaris was first released the lore was that the surgery to turn a regular Marine into a Primaris was exceptionally dangerous and the vast majority of those who undergo it die, but that was quietly dropped after the flood of existing characters getting Primaris re-releases made it increasingly silly.
but think of all the MONEY
LET THE STARS FALL
LET THE PEAS BOIL
Yeah I think early one it was supposed to be around a 40% success rate, but over time it's now closer to 80%. The 'justification' of it was that as the procedure became more widespread the Chapters tailored it for themselves to increase the odds.
Meanwhile everyone knows it's just because GW wouldn't dare kill off a named Marine character they could sell a model for.
It looks so dumb. So, so dumb. I'm not even an "old = good" grognard but there's nothing about the primaris designs that's good. Nothing that says "yeah, that fits these badass space gothic warriors."
That's always been the case for space marines though. All of their vehicles look awful and they always have.
i see it and i hate it.
we joked but couldn't imagine how much sillier it would get
all these lame in-universe justifications for the existence of primaris just so they could sell new and improved toys when people would have bought their new toys anyway without the primaris bullshit
they made the lore worse for no reason
money is a reason
It's quite funny to me that the flying heavy weapon guys are so absolutely awful that GW seems to be trying to quietly squat them, currently they are only sold as part of an obscure army bundle and it wouldn't surprise me if they vanish completely if and when that bundle is discontinued.
Was this the beginning of the end? For me it was the turning point. A fucking baby carrier...
I can't bring myself to hate that thing because I can see the concept they were going for and that concept is really cool, they just... completely failed at executing it. Really, really badly.
People pretend to like 40K lore? Lmao.
Primaris only exists because GW's horribly out of touch executives at the time thought that they would have to make the new Space Marines completely different to 'force' players who already had an army to effectively buy a whole new one, despite ample evidence that Space Marine players absolutely would have rebought their entire armies for shiny new truescale Marines and vehicles.
Goddamn that guy had a good voice for crazed yelling
the only real problem with it is the silly open cockpit combined with not even wearing a fucking helmet
it must be dire times when we look back and think the baby carrier isn't so bad compared to what we get now
ALL they had to do is say "we're doing truescale Marines now" and call it a day.
Nobody is complaining about the new Death Guard and Emperor's Children models over this.
I admit, I kinda forgot about tauros, but I was thinking of something lighter
As for taurox, that's an APC/IMv. I was thinking of something closer to interwar light tanks
I honestly think its bad in concept. They have dreadnoughts. Why would they need even a better designed version of this. Why would that be where resources should go.
Its gotten even worse since the introduction of knights to the lore. Yeah we've got mechs that are a similar enough size to this thing, that nestle the pilot very safely inside an inner compartment where they use actual sane controls. But the Dreadknight is really doing something important for us that neither the knights nor the dreadnoughts are.
And then, if this is bizzarely going to exist, why would it be a grey knight only thing. Its not some super special superior type of technology, its not way better than somewhat similar technology in wider use. If its not useful the grey knights shouldn't be using it, if it is useful a lot more people should be using it, because the underlying technology clearly isn't anything insane such that its exclusivity can be put down to rarity and scarcity.
I have a similar problem with centurions, beyond even the bullshit of the Imperium getting any new technology like its nothing. What the fuck is that halfway point doing that neither the regular terminators nor the dreadnoughts are doing, such that you absolutely need to complicate logistics and organizational structure by also having these instead of just more of those 2.
There actually is a fairly definitive reason, but we're not ready for that talk yet.
1: Marine players are psychotic. Chaos space marines are comparatively sane. 2: Death Guard and Emperor's children players have enough to complain about already.
They seemed to have learned their lesson with HH.
We're not ready because honestly, nobody cares. They could literally just retcon all Primaris as just being a armor upgrade and nothing would practically change.
The actual difference that matters is that the army essentially functions like Eldar now. With specialists units that only use one kind of weapon rather than the all round teams that could be anything of past editions. The conversation people are not ready to have is that this is a universally positive change.
The baby carrier is endearingly stupid and fits perfectly in 40k
Primaris at its worse is so soulless and sterile that it straight up looks out of place in the setting
The real point behind it isn't army function or being 'bigger' Marines, it's brand impact and recognition.
Firstborn Marines primarily utilized helmets that had the Darth Vader grille. Darth Vader is a villain. Therefore, kids and their parents will associate Marines with being villains due to subconcious factors of how the grille is menacing.
This is a problem for GW, bevause GW wants Marines to be the shining noble heroes of the setting who are valiant and glorious. GW doesn't want the Imperial factions to outwardly appear evil or villainous now, because that can negatively impact sales. It's why the "Imperium are the good guys!" shitters have grown over time; because GW shoves the bad aspects of the Imperium into lesser BL titles while implicitly waving about how the Imperium are heroes. It's why the Eldar and Tau are rarely utilized for narratives now; they're not as expressly evil or villainous looking to promote the Imperium by association.
Primaris exist to turn Marines from brutal space knights who are occasionally heroic due to circumstances into tacticool super soldier heroes.
Anything related to the Lost and Damned.
Anything related to traitor legions that aren't worshipping Chaos

Arlequins in general
I love it when cool edgy stuff has all the edge and cool gradually shaved off.
is the warhammer streaming service worth getting for a month to watch everything
No, most of the shows are pretty bad, and the good ones usually turn up online anyway.
I really liked the Night Lords Books. Any equivalents for like the World Eaters or any of the less cool(Iron Warriors) chaos legions
HH is run by Forge World/Specialist Games Team/whatever they call themselves now, they seem to have a lot more freedom to do what they want compared to 40k's design studio. They're the ones that pushed to bring back WHFB and then decided to throw the formerly-sacred law of 'no model no rules' straight out the window with pretty much every army book having multiple units you have to kitbash yourself.
Actual Chaos Knights and not Knights but with a mouth. Give me a knight with weird tentacles or one that's bent around and walking around like Zapa
Orks with creatures that aren't squigs. If we can have Kriegs with their weird horses, we can have Orks riding mutated megaboars or something like that.
Now imagine them getting into an even bigger mech...
It's somehow better than the paragon suits.
Betrayer was alright if you like HH and Lords of Silence is 40k Death Guard

HAHAHA
BLOOOOOD
I hate using CSM models for Iron Warriors, Night Lords, etc. because they just end up looking like Black Legion with a different paint scheme
Battlesector
Daemonhunters
Are those fun?
I felt battlesector really sucked. It's just not at all interesting as a tactics game and I absolutely despise tactics games where enemy reinforcements just show up whenever and wherever the hell they feel like it.
Daemonhunters is pretty fun but (keep in mind I played around release and didn't play any of the DLCs and such) the map and enemy variety went down big time near the end, the bosses were awful mechanically and it has the mechanicus thing where the strongest tool you have in the game is a zero AP cost servo skull that deals guaranteed damage. Gets also quite easy.
Battlesector's an odd one where it looks pretty good but plays very awkwardly. Like it's half finished.
Battlesector
it has very positive reviews on steam and daemonhunters was mid at least on launch it was i dont know about know.
You are overthinking it. The reason they changed the helmet is because it looks like Darth Vader. Anything else is secondary.
I'll admit im biased. Im not that fond of MK8 helmets. I don't hate them, but I find them as bland as mark 10 with an added element of looking tryhard. But the change in helmet is mostly positive for me.
Primaris exist to turn Marines from brutal space knights
Everything wrong with 40k Marine lores comes from this assumption. No, Marines aren't all black templars. They can also be vampires. Vikings. Mongols. Or anything else. This is part of the reason why 4-7th edition was such a wasteland of bad ideas involving marines. Primaris are often bland, but from a hobby perspective they are a fantastic basis. I'll take them over any ugly old marine kit released during the dark age anyday.
a 40k game that is half finished?! say it aint so.
*40k marine lore
If all Eldar disappeared tomorrow, what demographic would be the most affected?

Thank you, please do not bully him.
Have some corn terminators
So I can get my fucking berserkers and kharn closer to the enemy faster
Now I understand why it can take Primaris.
The glow to the eyes and the plasma coils is a nice touch. That particular style of terminator, whether Heretic or Loyalist, has always been my favorite. All the other patterns just don't look as good.
Hmmm I wonder what the new Primaris vehicles look like, surely they are just as cool as the old stuff
This is fine *peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
"Brother, enemies on our right!"
""WHAT?""
What do we think about the Saturnine shit being real?
The Dread looks fine.
The Terminators look fucking retarded.
Only so much you can do to 'modernize' an inherently goofy design without retconning it.
can no longer buy squads in random sizes
I haven't played since like 5th edition and every time I hear of a rule change I become more convinced that was the right decision for me.
Lets just say that every time GW tries to "modernize" the rules and reduce the bloat...they end up adding even more shit that slows the game down in entirely new ways. A fuckton of keywords, sometimes that have literally nothing of note relating to them, are still fairly common. Stratagems were a big one and they took a lot of the uniqueness of armies and made them once per turn or even once per game super powers.
it's a mess.
Yeah I was reading about strategems one day and it just made me sad.
Shoulda have just "borrowing" warthog from halo, it just werk.
In games, they're faster than tanks, great for dumping squads across the map in the early game, they're not relevant once you have the Orbital Relay though, then you can just dump dreadnoughts from orbit.
try to make Malum Caedo in SM2
can only sort of make it work
Damn it.
Orbital Relay
DoW or Gladius? Because you can do that in both and it's equally obnoxious (or hilarious) when you do it.
Surely he will show up in SM3
DoW, haven't played Gladius myself
I like it quite a bit, it's about as close as you're going to get to playing 40k that's like tabletop...but without the shit balancing and the hundreds of dollars on plastic army men. SM operate as a 1 city faction but have some of the best infantry in the game and can deliver entire armies of terminators on your door step if they find you. The game is cool overall, but it's definitely more wargame than traditional 4X game.
unrealistically attractive abhumans should be

They are called toys.
1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV

have 2 tactical marine squads /chaos marines loaded with heavy bolters
pack them in a rhino
unpack them, so they set up their weapons, then pack them back in
move near enemy and unpack them
marines instantly start shooting with heavy bolters without having to spend time setting it up
enemy jumps on them
you pack them back in instantly, move a bit back and unpack them again
kite them until the rhino is dead, which pretty much lasts forever unless they have strong anti-vehicle
DoW micro is fun
My willingness to buy it just never quite seems to line up with the sales, but it's otherwise interested me for years. I'll get it eventually, until then I have Dawn of War with the UA mod so I can crank up the Dreanoughts per second.
Gladius
Are those turn based games any good?
Gladius is basically just a Civ clone except diplomacy is eschewed for combat.
Dreadnoughts are a really good mid tier mech unit, you can spam the fuck out of them too if you get the ore for it. As for the turn based video games? I'd say Gladius is a good 4X wargame, Mechanicus is difficult upfront but starts to peter out once you get your techpriests decked out, and Chaos Gate feels a little too much like an XCOM mod than a wholly separate game. If you liked XCOM you'll probably like that. I didn't care for it as much.
including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up
I love Necrons and am building the combat patrol right now but good lord all of their vehicles look so stupid. The doomstalker and reanimator are like the only good ones since they look like WotW walkers

Spice Marines will never be the big dicks so long as the past still exists to briefly mog them. Thunder Warriors were the true apex before the Big E turned his back on them.

Not this shit again
Chimeras were said have the kind of engine that would run on nearly anything with tweaks
even the shittiest tier pitch pulled from a feudal world
make an entire Mad Max/Cannonball Run style vidya that has you ripping across the plains throwing all manner of combustible material into your discount Mr Fusion

Didnt Emperors children literally just get a new codex in may?
Yes, which makes his post all the more unfortunate.
Sad, even Jag has a few.
They're cool but retards can't see it. Their main issue is that they lack depth to their model roster. They need some more centerpiece options since the land fortress is just a big moon buggy. Having some big salvage mechs would help, and something else to lean into the whole AI ancestors thing they have going on.
I personally would like some more psyker stuff for them to because the Grimnyr are cool but I doubt they'll go that route. They'd be a really easy faction to make a game for too, being a salve dorf going into space hulks or landing planetside on missions to recover useful tech, getting into fights with monsters and squabbling over salvage with Admech would be kino
Personally I think a substantial part of the problem is the focus on competitive play and a ruleset that attempts to explicitly cover literally every single interaction possible, rules in older editions were written under the assumption that both players were big boys who are capable of using common sense to figure things out and navigate unclear interactions by communicating with their opponent.

The brass one? It's from AoS lol
Cool shit
As far as my Epic games with my friends and brother go, it is still is 3rd edition.
Is there a point to Space Marine pilots/drivers?
Why not attach a Techpriest/Servitor instead?
Weird that he hasn't reunited with Girlyman yet
this is the edition i first played and remember the most to this day.
He tried but it goes to voxmail.
Miko
making me feel old bruv
Techmarines (spess mehreen engineers trained on Mars by the Admech) pilot their more advanced vehicles like aircraft, also maintaining and repairing them, while Servitors are basically just autopilots; they can't be trusted to make advanced maneuvers or maintain the vehicle by themselves.
Also, it means that if the vehicle is totaled without killing the crew, the driver can still contribute in a fight because he's an actual spess mehreen too.
I'm not too well versed in Eldar lore, but an Autarch has walked all of the aspect paths, correct? Could you have an Autarch game and use all of the Aspect warrior weapons and tactics?
I still think a squad-based XCOM-like game about being a Ork Warboss would be a good game idea. Where you start from crawling out of the ground and beating up lads to show everyone who the biggest and meanest is and by the end you are a real warboss and are stomping and swiping all manner of gubbins and gribblies.
Look at this Rhino. Actually don't, it's a dogshit unit.
play arma with ace
never remove earplugs, ever
still get the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Could you have an Autarch game
No, simply from the standpoint that any aeldari game would immediately fail.
Thoughts on canonically black Space Wolves? Wokehammer enthusiasts call you a tourist if you don't agree.
Third person loota shoota or bust
Niggers shouldn't exist in Warhammer but I also hate Space Wolves
I hate Space Wolves.
just let me spend more point on those faggots moving an extra 6 inches once so they can kill maybe 4 orks one turn earlier
Yea man, the game is only 5 turns, and pretty decided by 3 or 4.
They have existed since 5th ed, they live in the artic of fenris.
Who fucking cares paint them whatever colour you want.
You use the transport to safely transport your squad onto the objective.
Y'know, the point of a transport.
