Mate. It gets worse. Let me explain her plot armour.

1. Survives her flagship being one hitted by a defence laser
2. Survives escape pod entry
3. Survives escape pod being attacked by a Ursasloth (Bear Sloth?)
4. Escape pod fills with water, but she escapes despite nearly blacking out
5. Gets out, strips, re-enters water and lasts even longer, eventually entering her suit
6. Walks all the way to a downed Manta with 40 FW's alive and she enters combat a few hours later (no rest, nothing in the mean time)
7. She then solos 6 Sentinels and a load of IG
8. Then captures an IG
9. Strips again, gets shitty clothing, learns some plot stuff
10. Then goes on a long hike with 30 FW and IG captive, she doesn't eat, drink or sleep in this period
11. Survives an attack by 3 Valkyries
12. Survives a huge stampede by Not!Deer, half of her FW don't
13. Survives an attack by snakes, most of her FW don't
14. Ursaloth then attacks, rest of FW are killed, she, IG and one FW survive
15. IG then pulls a gun on her, but lets her live cause "muh family"
16. 40 Storm Troopers and the IDF Colonel ambush her, Colonel says "lol, fuck you, Imma gonna shoot you"
17. Shadowsun goes "lol coward, duel me 1v1 fgt", of course, Colonel agrees
18. Colonel stabs her shoulder. She bleeds.
19. Colonel cuts her leg down to the bone. She's able to stay standing and she's bleeding out.
20. Colonel then stabs her through the chest. She's now blacking out.
21. IG Captive tackles the Colonel and gets stabbed through chest as well (with a power sword)
22. Shadowsun remains awake and kills not only the 40 Storm Troopers, but Colonel and a Vakyrie
23. Shadowsun, injured FW and IG captive survive to objective and leave

She has insane plot armour

Apparently there's a short story where, thanks to her Suit, Shadowsun is fast and maneuverable enough to catch up to a Thunderhawk in mid-flight and hang onto the fuselage. Which seems a little hard to believe.

Pretty much, just run lots of fusion guns. All the battlesuits get +1 BS if you max the squad and shoot them at the same target, so suit spam lists that are light on markerlights are super viable now.

The Optimized Stealth Cadre formation is absolutely nuts for vehicle hunting with an additional BS bonus, Ignore Cover and auto-hitting rear armor. I'm kind of curious how that would work against an Imperial Knight - like, they declare front or side facing because that's where you are, then you use the formation bonus to hit them in the ass... do they get their invulnerable save anymore? Definitely seems like the kind of thing that's going to catch people by surprise for a bit.

Okay! No downloading myself then, thank you very much dude.

And fusion suits... Yeah, I guess 6 S8 shots would probably work pretty well on a Wraithknight or Imperial Knight. Would also give me a hard vehicle popping trick to back up my Stealth Cadre.

So a very rough unpointed list ballpark:

Farsight CAD:

Missile Commander in marker drone unit,

Plasma suit unit,

Fusion suit unit,

Missile Broadsides,

Snipers,

Maxed out Stealth Cadre,

Probably some backup markerlight source or other.

Sound like a decent list?

We were discussing the previous thread that you could just take a Retaliation Cadre and the Optimized Stealth Cadre together since it pretty much covers all the bases and is 100% battlesuits. Plus, you get deep striking Broadsides! It ends up being a little light on markerlights, but with the formation bonuses you probably won't even need them.

I'm still playing around with the wargear options, I don't really think you need defensive stuff on the commander since the broadside unit has so many ablative wounds. Biggest question for me is just what to arm most of the Crisis Suits with; since the Ghostkeel already has so much S7 AP4 shooting it seems a bit spammy to go with missile pods, but they're probably still fine.

I read that as marketing speak that might screw you over a little, because just because Kauyon has the formations and the new units doesn't necessarily mean it covers the minor eratta to units like Strikers (Renamed Fire Warriors with a small number of extra choices) or Riptides and Hammerheads (Now takable in units of 1-3 with a bonus for having 3)

Not really, the new formations, changes and units actually represent some very large buffs. A lot of people were expecting some things to get nerfed, like being able to stack unlimited signature systems (since no other codex gets to relic spam anymore) and the extremely easy access to interceptor and cover ignoring rules. If anything they've just gotten more of what they do well plus a few new tricks to fill gaps. It's really quite nice that the new formations give you very viable suit-heavy mobile builds instead of the fairly stagnant gunline strategy most current builds utilize.

Basically, by getting an expansion they've gotten nothing but new stuff and buffs and literally zero nerfs, which is very unusual. Even the Necron update had some nerfs - granted, it was the Monolith, but still. Some people are upset that Kroot and Vespid are still lackluster to bad, but IIRC there was a Kroot Mercenaries rumor late spring/early summer that everyone seems to have forgotten about. If that's still a thing then auxiliaries might actually become cool again.

Rolling on the bad things happen table instead of rolling an armour save is pretty rough, yes.

Only vehicle list I find viable right now is Daemon Engine spam, using a mix of regular and Forge World ones. Two reasons: I get an invuln, and if I play my cards right I can kill the anti-av units early enough that I can turn the game around after.

The latter one, they always target rear armor. The silliest part of the formation for me is that while the stealth suits have to be right on top of the Ghostkeel unit to get the formation bonus the Ghostkeel unit always has it. Basically, if you're even remotely thinking of taking a three Ghostkeel blob, you take the formation. If the stealth suits do literally nothing you're still getting +1 BS, ignore cover and auto-targeting rear armor for 180 points. And honestly... as much as people like to bitch about stealth suits, they're really not bad even without the formation.

Do you really believe 40k is going to 'recover'? The formations and 7th edition balance has done more to harm this game than anything Ive seen yet. Ive been collecting GW models since the early 90's, and been a very casual player for 25 years.

Ive never seen the local playerbase this small except the early to mid 90's. There has been a shocking number of people that have stopped playing in the past year due to GW's treatment of the rules.
Im basing this all on the playerbase/community in Phoenix, AZ and Anaheim, CA.

Anyhow, I dont see the game recovering. Its currently traveling at warp speed in the wrong direction. GW has clearly gone all in in their strategy. I have no doubt at all that 40k is heading toward a crash and burn situation.

You should watch Frontlines vids. They dont exactly paint a hopeful picture for the near future of 40k. In fact, theyve alluded to burnout quite a bit lately, and in a recent episode Reecius flat out stated that 40k needs a completely overhauled ruleset that will only come from the community.

40k as GW is peddling it will not last. You cant marginalize 50%+ of your customers' armies and models and expect them to stick around. Over the past year the game has become unplayable for a large number of longtime, hardcore customers. Those guys arent getting replaced on a 1:1 basis.

At this point I need to see the actual formation to make sure this rule was accurately described. Even with burst cannons on the Stealth Suits, that's still basically guaranteed death from the formation against any vehicle with weak rear armor. Which is pretty much all of them.

I guess that solves the unreliability of Railguns as anti-tank AND markets the Ghostkeel at the same time, woohoo

Even if 40k had the best rules in gaming, they are still facing so much more competition than ever before. And its only getting more and more crowded.

Yeah, I kind of got that impression as well. The description of the suit that wasted him sounds like a Ghostkeel. Maybe it means Shadowsun will get interred into a special Ghostkeel herself? It does seem a little weird to me that Glorious Stealth Suit Queen doesn't have the best suit anymore.

Of course, if they do actually do that then Tau have even more MC HQs which they probably don't need.

So it was probably just a decoy because Shadowsun has infinite plot armor, whereas Raven Guard are just GW's punching bags.

God i hate tau

There's no way a first founding chapter master can be killed like that. Calgar punches Avatars and Swarmlords apart with his bare hands and survives to evacuate from fighting those types of threats. But I guess RG is that weak since they're never shown to be strong and GW just keeps nerfing them

And Taufags claim their faction isn't shitty power wank.

The Raven Guard are the only chapter, among the eight chapters on the planet. who are giving the Tau a hardtime.

Also keep in mind that Shadow Sun may have something else going on.

I think it was implied she was hearing voices at one point in one of the novels after the Tau invaded the timebomb their sitting on with Argrellan.

Nah, it's just tauwank. How old was Severax? He could well have more years of experience than puretide and shadowsun combined given the different life expectancies of space marines (centuries, millennia for some) and tau (like 50 years). And he's been fighting every race across the galaxy, while Shadowsun (and Puretide) faced the Imperium and maybe some orks.

It's just complete and utter tauwank.

Or if it was a shot, he should have disappeared into the darkness since that's his FUCKING SPECIAL ABILITY that even a lowly Shadow Captain like Solaq has. They probably just want to move the spotlight to Shrike.

And I love all the fluff talking about how agile Shadowsun is. Shadowsun is I4. Chapter Masters are I5.

Well, Tau aren't really a threat. So, using small Titans isn't going to be too much of a problem.

Didn't some fluff somewhere say that that if the Black Templars deployed their entire chapter on a Crusade to fight the Tau, that the Tau would be eradicated?

Essentially the Tau are getting their shit kicked in, even with their new suits.

I think the whole point is

>The Tau are no longer naive faggots who think they can curb stomp everything and they're now facing proper Imperial Defences, not just IDF's and they're basically throwing their art of war out of the window in order to achieve victory (the development of the Stormsurge and KX139 is against their mobile doctrine for suits).

Tau are essentially better equipped IG now. They use the same tactics, gun lines, trenches, big guns, except charging isn't viable tactic in their eyes.

It's not teleporting as such, but they jump around like fleas. Formation jumps behind vehicles/cover torches people/melts vehicles and then go back to position.
This just makes it sound even dumber.

Other units teleport around, but it always translates in game-time to one phase at a time. Now stealth suits can teleport behind a vehicle, shoot at it, and then teleport back in a single phase and still use their jetpacks in the assault phase?

Face it anon, the fluff for this formation is retarded. I'd be more inclined to believe Dark Eldar teleporting Dark Lance beams through the webway to hit rear armour.

To be perfectly honest 40K as a whole is one of the most mechanically inconsistent games I have played. By which I mean the fluff explanation has literally no bearing on the rule. I think in part this is because, as far as I can tell, the fluff and rule guys are both given a new model and make fluff/rules for it without any meaningful communication between them.

That's a given thou!

I say, Nids are slightly better than those 3 thou, simply because Tyrants are so good.

GK's are probably just above them as well, mainly cause Dreadknights are still good and cheap. Everything else is meh.

Eldar, Tau, Space Wolves, Vanilla/DA are the ones at the top.

But, seeing as Tau dex hasn't changed bar new weapons and units, has GW actually though "Hey, Vetock can actually write internally balanced codexes, he's done this 4 times now, let's make him write ALL OF THEM"

The problem is, Vetock makes fair, fluffy and balanced codexes. But they can be exploited. If he was writing them all, it'd be OK, but the fact he isn't and people write Eldar (which nerfed one thing only to make another thing powerful) and Space Wolves (nerfed Long Fangs, gave them shit loads of new good stuff)... Hard to really keep the game even.

Greentide + Big Gunz are OK, but when a dex becomes monolist to even have a chance, something is wrong.

BA are "Astaroth/Dante, x3 DC squads, x3 5-man Assault Squads + free Rhinos" and that's it, really.

Nids are Tyrants (and some other stuff but I can't remember their dex well enough)

CSM are... Nurgle Bikers? What else?

DE are.... Kalabites + Raiders/Venoms? Again, long time since I read their codex.

I just know nothing stood out for me like SW/Vanilla/DA/Eldar/Tau did.

Of the races that aren't used as complete fodder (orks, nids), marines are usually on the losing side of things. Most of their stand-out battles are phyrric at best, and when something needs to get described as "super awesome" they usually start by killing a bunch of space marines.

They're definitely in the spotlight a whole lot, but the fluff doesn't really pull punches with them.

It's one of those formations that, dare I say it, is almost cheesy to use in today's "meta". No one accounts for THAT much infantry past a couple of flamers here and there to the point where there's almost nothing they can do.

I've used it three times now against, blood angels, dark eldar and imperial guard and each time I wiped the floor to the point where I felt pretty bad about it.
Death company and TH/SS terminators got swallowed up whole after assaulting in and mephiston got instakilled by my warboss after I had him challenge hoping that MOTHERFUCKING MEPHISTON would wipe the floor with some no name greenskin to give him a small victory.
Dark eldar held off the assault for the FNP but there's only so much an archon, his entourage and a group of dick ass reaver riders could do even after thinning the horde down with a devastating missile barrage.
IG were under-equipped with only a single wyvern and 2 lemans, but the devil dog did some work and the ratlings sniped a couple of nobz out from the mass. I apologised after this game because he had a fun list and some great paint jobs even throughout the rank and file.

Now I've vowed to keep the tide away for tourneys at my GW just to surprise people with.

Yes? They're better than Tau. The novels out-right state that Humans are better melee combatants than Tau.

Also, somebody says that isn't Shadow in that novel with the 4v1, but the protag isn't given a name, or a gender, specifically has a stealth suit customised for them and has stealth drones. If it was a different Tau, then becoming "Commander Shadow" is a bit od an odd comesudence. The whole point was this Tau learnt to use stealth and stuff against people. Which I assumed would mean by the time she fought the Orks, she used the sun eclipse to her advantage. Shadowsun didn't plop out of the statis tube as "Shadowsun, Supreme Commander of 3rd Wave Expansion", she would have had to earn that rank. Either way, my point stands, Tau shouldn't be winning 4v1 fights.

Then in that other novel, she gets her shoulder cut, her leg cut to the bone, thens tabbed through the chest with a power sword. Yet is then able to not only raise her arms and shoot bridge support beams, but then shoot down a Valkyrie gunship, whilst bleeding and saving two of her allies.

You idiot. You still harbing on that? Shadow was the name the Catachan commander. The whole battle for Cytherian happened DURING THE THIRD SPHERE EXPANSION. Where Shadowsun was the Grand Marshall of the Tau forces, NOT THE NAMELESS ROOKIE GOVERNOR OF A BACKWATER WORLD.

Clear image of one warlord trait and two objectives for White Scars and Raven Guard in this week's WD.

>White Scars

>Master Rider

Add 1 to the result of any Jink saves you make for your Warlord if he is equipped with a Space Marine Bike. If he is not, treat this result as "Deadly Ambush" instead.

Objectives are the same as the ones released months ago.

>Raven Guard

>Vanish into the Gloom

When your Warlord's unit is chosen as the target of a shooting attack, it can immediately Vanish into the Gloom, moving up to D6". Models from your Warlord's unit that are in cover at the end of this move receive +1 to their cover saving throws against that shooting attack. The firing unit cannot choose a different target, even if your Warlord's unit is now out of range or line of sight. Your Warlord's unit can only Vanish into the Gloom once per turn and cannot do so at all if Falling Back or charging.

>Objectives

>Strike from the Skies

Score 1 Victory Point at the end of your turn if at least one enemy unit was completely destroyed by a Raven Guard unit with the Jump unit type, or by a a Raven Guard unit that disembarked from a Drop Pod this turn.

>Keep to the Shadows

Score 1 Victory Point at the end of your turn if all non-vehicle units in your army are either embarked on a Transport Vehicle, embarked inside a building, or within 1" of a piece of terrain other than open ground.

>he deadly reputation of the Tau Empire is enshrined in its signature weapon of war – the battlesuit. Other aliens, Mankind and Chaos Daemons alike have all learnt to fear these weaponised suits of armour, and none is more emblematic of this dynamic young race than the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit, each one piloted by a great hero of the Tau Empire and capable of slaughtering entire troops of infantry or reducing battle tanks to molten slag. To see them on the field of battle is to face certain doom

Tau confirmed to be the most fearsome race in the galaxy, They can even inspire fear in daemons!

What does that have anything to do with anything? Nobody said it's not true, they said it's fluff wank. The same shit you dumb Taufags are accusing marines of.

Two wrongs don't make a right. You complain about marine wank, but once Tauwank comes it's "HURRR FINALLY MARINE GETS WHATS COMING TO THEM" when it's equally shit writing and wank.

Now it is, and I hate it, but don't think I only hate xeno and heretic wank. I play both ultramarines and grey knights and I hated what ward did to them.
Theirs 40k being crazy over the top and then there's bullshit. Clagar, dragio and this shadow bitch fall into the latter category.

While the tau may out pace them, the tau FTL sucks and only the 'crons surpass the power of the imperial navy's weapons.
The tau need to be faster to get away from all that glorious planet killing fire power.

Except that the Knights are equipped with antii-daemon weaponry, training, and the emprahs geneseed, That's overkill.

While the Tau make daemons scared with mundane tech. An impressive feat on their part.

The Admech codexes made the admech look bad. The Eldar codex had plenty of negative events in it.

So clearly it's not the case.

Anyways, What I classify as wank is fluff that states something but doesn't back it up. "This OC character is unbeatable and yada yada".

When we have fluff that is demonstrable like the Tau fleets outdoing the Imperial fleets, billions of Tau getting deployed across the whole sector spanning front, etc this isn't wank. This is fact.

>As Shadowsun passed into the Imperium's interior he encountered ever greater resistance, and she saw that to overextend her forces would deplete the momentum of the attack. Instead of crashing headlong into well-defended planets, she split her fleets, scattering them to a dozen headings. Each began a devastating series of hit-and-run attacks against which the Imperium could mount no effective counter.

-6th ED Tau codex

By the way, the Imperium is throwing everything they got in the east at the Tau.

The forces that are coming to attack the Tau are comparable to the forces defending the Cadian Gate.

"Against the sheer power of the largest Imperial battleships, even Manta missile destroyers, Custodians, and Startide-class interceptors were outclassed. In turn, the unparalleled mobility of the Tau craft allowed them to evade every Imperial gun and boarding torpedo that was pointed in their direction. Until the Tau armada could respond in force by scrambling battle-cruiser fleets from kor'vattra navy docks on the edge of the system, Dal'yth Sept was on its own." from the Farsight Enclaves book concerning Dal'yth invasion.

Basically fast and maneuverable vs unstoppable and ponderous.

Another quote from the new Kuayon book. Imperial fleets just can't stop the slower Tau fleet from marching into Imperial space and doing as they please.

So, nothing of any merit? Blood Angels have all their successors at Baal. Space Wolves are are Cadia. Only a few chapters have gone to the East.

The fact you saif there are a few marines there is laughable.

Not the entire Raven Guard, not the entire White Scars.

All the SM mentions are elements from those chapters. RG, WS and a couple of others.

Call me when Blood Angels and all their successors join in with the Ultramarines, Black Templars, Space Wolves, Dark Angels and IF and Iron Hands start building defences en masse with their entire chapter.

Till then, they're barely a threat. The whole point of the Tau is they're a "rising" threat, not that they are.

There's a certain elegance to being an army that's explicitly min/maxed to be all shooting, zero psychic, middling melee at best and not a mish mash of different tactical doctrines. You wanna play with big mech dudes and shoot people in the face? You know where to go. Plus, it actually delivers on those claims instead of falling flat on its face like many assault armies do.

Newfag here.

How hard is it to paint the miniatures? Do you have to be an experienced painter to not make them look like shit?

However, you don't get to dismiss actual events in the book. When Calgar punched the Avatar it actually happened. When the Tau outdid the Imperial fleet, it actually happened.

It's hard to paint them like the cool jobs you see online. It's not hard to make them look like shit.

The main hurdles are patience, thinning the paint properly, painting within the lines, and overcoming the small size of the lines. There are a lot of easy cheat methods to make a decent job, like using washes to fill in eyes and cracks.

The latest sales data has 40k being more profitable than ever.

Unclear rules and the inclusion of super-heavies, alongside the formation special rules we see, are only really a problem for hardcore tournament gamers.

Casual gamers can easily come to mutually-agreeable conclusions about unclear rules that occur in-game, and decide between themselves what kind of game they're playing. Discussing what kind of game you want to play including whether you use superheavies etc is something GW expects players to do, and it is what they do in a casual setting.

Of course, modellers and painters don't give two shits about rules, and GW models are better than they've ever been. Remember these people compose 80% of GW's customer base.

As much as I'd like a tighter ruleset with less capacity for abuse and imbalance, it just isn't a priority for GW and never will be. Either find a way to have fun (taking it less seriously is a good start) with the game or move on to one that will better serve your interests.

Your models first time will look like shit.
All of our first models are shit. But that shit is the foundation that nurtures the soil that will be where your skills grow. Over time, your models will look less and less like shit and more and more like how you envisioned them. That's the only reason I haven't left this hobby. There is just something magical about people from different backgrounds, lifestyes, and cultures can come together at all skill levels and unite to paint some cool dudes with mineratures. Peace won't come from ending world hunger or useless documents. Only from the tones of agrax earthshade, does humanity truly shine together

Try running it in a epub reader.

If it doesn't work, I'll re-upload it later.

That's a fault with the players, not the game.

If they can't help but cheese the shit out of the system, that's on them, they made that decision. GW writing an unbalanced ruleset didn't force them to be cheesemongers.

Obviously to them winning is more important than having fun.

It's a number given by a GW tour guide to investors. It's probably not accurate, but it's the number GW is allegedly using and most likely going by given their resource expenditure divided between rules and models.

But... I never said any differently.

I just said that events in codexes/campaign books are biased cause nobody wants to buy a Tau codex, or an Eldar codex, and read 100% losses. They want something to brag over.

That's my fucking point.

>>43267434
A number they grabbed from the top of their heads, as they don't do market research or anything. So it's done to please investors, it isn't factual.

Okay? I'm not even part of this discussion, I'm just enlightening you because you apparently don't even know these things when it's common information. Why do you think multiple people on /tg/ and at FLG know it?

You guys could always just us warhammer 40k models with a different system. Infinity has their rules out for free. You could run campaigns of roguetrader/ dark heresey with the mineratures and have each player purchase and paint their own models before starting the RP. You could also play chess like they show in regicide. There are so many ways to use the great models without using the shitty rules.
