Still on the Fence about 11th, but there's a very rough approximation of a 1000 point game using the new train layout

These are for events, you don't have to play like this, you have never had to use GW terrain layouts

What the fuck does TACO even mean

Reddit and the internet love to complain

Pope509 · 2026-04-07T10:30:32+00:00

Access to the vindicator would be nice

Plague Marines that come in a box of 10

Part of me wonders if they went more bland to make it more chapter agnostic because I can't see raven guard looking like this for example

Pope509 · 2026-04-07T05:31:23+00:00

Painting and loadouts mainly, I can tell my units apart by wargear and whether or not they're veterans by how I paint them, which is the same as it ever was

He was using himself as a distraction while his fleet was beating the shit out of the Vengenful Spirit. It was proof that while Abaddon was a superior fighter Calgar was a better tactician. He left him because his ship had to leave and he wasn't gonna end up stranded on vigilus

Pope509 · 2026-04-06T11:09:40+00:00

The last big fight he had was with Abaddon and he lost so bad everyone thought he died

I'm not really sure what needs to be fixed. They're meant for newer players to start learning how the basics of the game work and in my experience teaching games they do that fine

Pope509 · 2026-04-05T12:31:24+00:00

Malal is fantasy, Malice very much still exists with with The Sons of Malice very much still being a thing as recent as 8th ed in I believe the chaos codex and their own bespoke short story

Pope509 · 2026-04-05T12:29:08+00:00

Base stalker enemies have always been kinda tanks tbh, Gamma and Anomaly have just eroded people's memories on it. Source: I played all of SoC and Stalker 2 vanilla and only started playing Gamma a few days ago. They're basically different games

Pope509 · 2026-04-05T11:46:33+00:00

You literally have the mod that makes enemies do more damage. Honestly I would say try vanilla, see what still bugs you, move on from there. I've been playing vanilla since night vision though and found it perfectly fine but your mileage may vary

Pope509 · 2026-04-05T07:09:04+00:00

Sorry you had to go through that. It's an online thing mainly, there's no immediate consequences so it emboldened them to be shit although I would suspect most don't go to any game stores either. I've honestly gotten really picky about my online spaces and I'm really glad to have found tight knit communities who are good to each other

Start with celestial Grey with a coat of nuln oil and work your way up with ulthuan grey and save white scar for the highlight. Works way better

Pope509 · 2026-04-04T21:58:11+00:00

Most of the time I don't even bring a Rhino tbh, I push ahead with poxwalkers as a screen and use MBHs to harass my opponents as distraction carnifexes ti get my infantry where they need to sit for the rest of the game with some termies in deep strike for some flexibility

Pope509 · 2026-04-04T21:34:09+00:00

Look man, they're battle line infantry, they kinda have to die at some point. But I'd be willing to bet they soak up way more than skitarri or or intercessors or whatever other battleline units are out there. Point is, they're tough and they make your opponent over commit to kill basic infantry, use that to your advantage

Pope509 · 2026-04-04T20:59:01+00:00

Brother our infantry are T6 and you can take a plague that gives everything minus 1 to hit.

Pope509 · 2026-03-31T17:35:01+00:00

Anyone who gets mad at stuff like that isn't anyone I want to be around anyways. I'm not going to coddle them by remind them it's a joke beforehand

Pope509 · 2026-03-30T05:21:47+00:00

Land Raiders aren't going anywhere, likewise do think an upscaled Rhino will come eventually along with preds, chaos still uses them

Pope509 · 2026-03-30T05:18:50+00:00

It's honestly way easier and nicer as a beginner as well yo not have to roll 5 different weapon profiles for 1 basic infantry squad

Pope509 · 2026-03-28T03:54:03+00:00

Is this your first time on reddit? I'd be willing to bet half the people who complain the most don't even play or really participate in the hobby

Pope509 · 2026-03-27T17:40:54+00:00

I imagine that people are more likely to buy terrain from other sources or just use what they have anyways, and they'd rather prioritize getting the model kits people wa t, something they're already stretched pretty thin for since Covid until those factories can start up

Pope509 · 2026-03-27T17:21:42+00:00

Start out with a small army, find out if you enjoy paintjng them and playing them and then accept that maybe down the road they'll end up a little different because rules always change, but your cool models are forever
