Extremely glad to see the rumor that they were splitting the rulebook into three separate books in a slipcase turned out to be true.

Hints that there might not be a new starter set after all

Also Dark Eldar master race

Red box in the bottom right corner, says something to the effect that Dark Vengeance will be repackaged with the new rules.

Psychic Phase rumors, so much for "ML1 SUMMON A BILLION DAEMONS XD"

>Psychic Phase

D6 + Mastery Levels of all of your psykers = warp pool (or whatever its called) and you draw dice from this pool to cast (once used they cant be used again that turn.)

>Powers are cast on the amount of successes, so warp charge 2 would require 2 successes, warp charge 4 requires 4 successes.

>A success is a D6 roll of a 4+

>There may be a limit of how many dice you can throw at a spell (Mastery Level +1 etc)

>Double 6 or Double 1 is still a perils (unsure if you can get two perils per casting)

It's the psychic phase that never ends.

Why?

THEY ALL GET THE PRIMARIS PLUS WHAT THEY ROLLED.

THEY CALL CAN SUMMON. average you'll get enough for 4 chances.

Every time you suceed summoning a herald he generates more dice AND powers. and he can attempt to summon more.

once it's all said and done if you don't kill all the tzench psychers... I'VE GOT MORE DICE NEXT TRUN AND MORE CHANCES TO SUMMON MORE (wich starts to snowball.

guys, what if GW put some "thought" into summoning daemons. take the allies matrix for for once. space marines are not able to ally with daemons. so what if summoned daemons by said space marines dont act for the space marines at all? also acprding to the 6th edition rulebook, conjuration counts as deepstriking, so no moving nor assaulting for summoned daemons, they also dont score.

what if they count as a complete own force then? that acts does their turn sequences before the summoners turns and attacks the closest enemy within range. friend or foe.

lets have space marines fighting space wolves for example:

turn SM: space marine player summons a bloodthirster in the midst of battle. shooting phase, the bloodthirster has to shoot first at the closest target (SM or SW). then SM start their shooting phase, then assault (wich the daemon cannot do this phase)

turn SW: the SW player now might has the option to let that SM regret the summoning. moving away from it and doing the rest of his turn.

turn SM: moving phase, the Bloodthirsters phase is first.. so he moves towards the closest enemy (wich may be the SM since the SW backed off a bit). then the SM moves. then in the shooting phase the thirster does his shooting/running and might aswell turn towards the marines. then the marines shooting phase... and the following assault phase may become the turn the SM player can regret the decision summoning said daemon while the SW player uses this to his advantage.

i think this might be a posibility. i hope for the best and this would actually be quiet nice. a player that knows that his daemons are on rampage will think twice before summoning his daemons. is he safe to do it or does the next turn may turn bad?

of course its up to GW... so i think this wont go the way i think it will work but.. yeah.. would be awesome and also limit the "OMG ALL GO FOR MALEFIC"

Still works actually. Let's say you're a power weapon-wielding whatever against an ork nob and challenge him. Either:
- he declines, sparing you from power klaw hits
- he accepts, your attacks hit the nob without any look out sir, you hopefully kill him off before he attacks back, and if you're lucky you get to kill some more boyz

Functionally the same as before, only a nerf to the tactic of "i'll sacrifice my useless sergeant to your monstrous creature, thus tying him up one more round"

"the wounds they cause carry over into the unit" sounds more like actual wounds rather than wounds for calculating combat resolution, but it's not guaranteed.

If that's the case, you'd most likely get saves against it (where applicable), as with any other wounds caused to a unit.

Three books, for $85.

More overall content in them, but the upside is that you can leave the fluff and showcase portions at home when you head out for game night, instead of having to lug all 500 pages around every time.

Did you see that a bunch of feminists sent a letter to GW asking for more female options in the armies and for updated Sisters?

The reply was basically "make your own females, but there's no female space marines unless you buy the Blood Raven battalion and modify them using Games Workshop parts! (They literally turned the letter into an ad about halfway through)
Sisters of Battle have a much lower demand than Space Marines, and as a result we have no plans to make new sculpts".

Feminists are PISSED. It's funny too, they weren't one of those batshit insane feminazi groups but were like actual gamer chicks.
I mean, did they not get that this would go public?

It's interesting how the murder-rapist space elves are the most gender inclusive race, model-wise. I mean sure, there's female guardsman, Eldar, and Tau but there's little representation in the models of that. I'm pretty sure Tau have very little actual sexual dimorphism, though, so I guess you could argue they're already there (sorry blueberry fans).

High Elves in Warhammer Fantasy too with half the army being female and all, plus some amazons and an alternate mage and the God Empress of Elfkind.

Dark Elves have strippers and the slutqueen who worships Slaanesh, Wood Elves have twins riding a dragon plus archers and feminine tree monsters, Tomb Kings have their second most important named character as a female paladin, Ogre Kingdoms has an alternate model as a female Ogre wearing a fake beard, Vampire Counts have an entire Bloodline that's 99% female and 1% himbos plus Banshees and brides of Dracula on a floating throne and Isabella von Carstein AKA Mrs Dracula, Warriors of Chaos have Valkia as Khorne's champion plus the titty horses, Daemons of course have Daemonettes and the Masque with the Keeper of Secrets, Bretonnia has it's only spellcasters as noblewomen, and the Hellpit Abomination for Skaven may be one of their giant womb monsters.

So yeah. Play Fantasy; we have females.

Besides the possibility of a new kit or rebox, stuff might be getting put on the list because it hasn't sold well.

Eldar don't exactly have to fit human standards of masculine and feminine, in fact it would be better if they didn't and did their own thing.

Even if Eldar do follow human standards, there isn't anything wrong with her having "masculine" features, she's a leader of great standing on Iyanden, not some pop princess. In those circumstances I believe any "masculine" features she may have only serve to accentuate the authority she has, giving her face a regal and possibly imperious quality.

Also, here is Yriel looking "feminine"

The Eldar were children and servants of the Old Ones who fought alongside them against the soulless evil of the Yngir and Souldark.

Humans were also creations of the Old Ones but during the time of the War in Heaven they were just comical tree climbing creatures (Primates). Before the Old Ones could uplift them and give them purpose, the Enslaver plague happened and wiped out the Old Ones.

And the rest is history.

In setting, humanity is a creation of the Old Ones (Which begs the question just how many natural humanoid beings there were besides the Necrontyr before the Old Ones. From the other xenos GW has created and what I've read of the HH, humanoids seem to be extremely rare.) so it makes sense that they and the Eldar would share similarities. However I think it's still part of the lore that it's the similarities between the two races that cause humans to freak out when they come into contact with Eldar due to the latter's joints and such behaving differently. I think the older art for Iyanna was supposed to reflect this.

Well, recall that 40K is based on the wacky, politically-driven comics if 2000AD. The Imperium isn't there to make a whole lot of sense. It's there to be a grim depiction of mankind trapped in its worst possible state.

That said, none of the writing is making the Imperium actually less insane. They're just being depicted as such. They'll still do all the same awful shit, they'll just get less flak from the writing. For example - in earlier editions, you'd come across terms like 'valiant' and 'heroic' far less often when reading up on the IG or the Astartes; you'd be much more likely to find them described in terms such as 'unyielding' or 'grim' or such. Nowadays they're all valiant and heroic, though, even in the neutral writing outside their codices, and it's a little jarring. It's like, after years and years of writing these guys, GW is slowly starting to forget that things like genocide are kinda bad.

Well they're not "good", but the Imperium's stance could be justified by what happened in the past. DAOT humanity is mentioned as signing non-aggression pacts with numerous xenos species, only to get stabbed in the back during the Age of Strife. It's not like most of the current major xeno species don't think the same way as the Imperium. Craftworld Eldar to one extent or another still think they are the master race and definitely wouldn't want to share the galaxy with anyone, as Kelly himself said with regards to Duriel.

>"The world of Duriel suffers a cruel series of events over the millennia, but there is an especial tragedy in the way that the Eldar finally deal with it," says Phil Kelly on the subject of the doomed maiden world. "There's an ironic cycle at play, as Duriel is abandoned and isolated after the fall of the Eldar, only to come into Imperial possession much later. Despite everything that followed, the world endured - sure, it became a cloying pollution-choked hellhole, but it survived. Even when the Tyranids attacked, the world itself would have remained, albeit as a lifeless husk. But the spiteful nature of the Eldar shows through in the way that they employ the Fireheart to deny the world to their enemy. There's a real feeling of 'if we can't have it, nobody can' to this act, and it's not a little ironic that the Eldar are willing to kill a world to keep it from the Tyranids. If it wasn't for the fact they were also preventing the Hive Fleets joining up, you'd think they were insane"

The difference in the situation is that the eldar are attacking a horrifyingly monstrous alien race that is out to exterminate every last group of sapients in the galaxy. Eldar attacking humans is no different from humans attacking tyranids -- imperials aren't reasonable or relateable to them, and it doesn't bring the eldar down to their level.

If the eldar were exterminating a friendly alien race -- yeah, that'd be Imperium style dickery. Remember, the imperials first slated the tau for extermination when they were of no threat to anyone.

So the world nuking eldar aren't just mirror versions of imperial -- though they're pretty bad, they're still a bit below, say, Star Wars Galactic Empire tier.

Imperials do that because these seedling races would grow to be threats in the future and in the case of the Tau it did happen. When the Eldar found the primitive humans on Earth, they had the option of wiping them out or enslaving them. The Eldar choose to leave them alone. Now the entire galaxy suffers for it.

There's a difference between blowing up planets belonging to a deadly, omnicidal threat to the galaxy (things on the level of daemons oldcrons, tyranids, and imperials) and blowing up planets belonging to guys who haven't wronged you.

You could even argue its reasonable for imperials to blow up eldar worlds as well. Sure, why not. That's at least wiping out an alien race that's a legitimate threat to you.

So unless the eldar've wiped out races that genuinely posed no threat to them, they've still never sunk to the level of the Imperium and hence the idea that they're equivalent is false.

This is exactly why Eldar are morally superior to the Imperium. Eldar are REALLY fighting for survival, and don't generally just kill shit for no reason (even fucking Biel-Tan, the most radical of Craftworlds, offers to relocate settlers on Maiden Worlds before killing them - and seems to stay true to their word), whereas the Imperium keeps up a thin veneer of fighting for survival while actually just being a bunch of genocidal cunts. To the rest of the galaxy, the Imperium = Tyranids. They're both vast alien threats intent on destroying ALL life that isn't them.

This has to be satire. The eldar were built to fight the necrontyr (who started the war) and the necrons are crazy-go-nuts powerful (read the entry on Scarabs). The one saving grace is that the necrons probably won't awaken in force until long after everyone else is dead and gone.

That's actually fighting for survival, though. They didn't just kill them because "hurr genetic destiny".

Also, the Imperium's hostility is exactly why all the other races barely ever consider working with them. All the races in 40K are perfectly justified in assuming the worst of the Imperium, because the Imperium will almost always prove them right. There's generally no point in trying to reason with them or establish an alliance. The other races know that if you let the Imperium get close to you, they try to kill everyone.

As mentioned, humans are a tyranid tier threat to the galaxy. Keep that in mind when you read any fluff about eldar or tau trying to conduct peaceful interactions with them -- they still generally try to preserve the lives of a hostile alien race that has wiped out countless other species.

Now, say, if it was eldar wiping out demiurg or nicassar or whatever out of the blue -- yeah, that'd be pretty awful. Humans, though? They're lucky the eldar consider it a sacrifice at all.

That world has a core world in a sector and anyone who controlled it controlled all Warp routes in the sector. simply put, the World had to fall for the Tau to secure the entire system and beyond. So when Imperials use advanced shielding technology to protect a powerful point of resistance, the Tau are justified to respond.

Note that the Tau didn't nuke any other spires or blow them up from orbit. Only the one with the shielding.

>You mean when the Imperials went to a world conquered by the Tau, and gave them the choice to retreat or be destroyed, and the Tau were all, "not gonna happen, come at us, battle-bros".

The Nimbosa talks was a ruse to stall time while the Imperial fleet came to Nimbosa. The Tau know of the deception and decided to fight the Imperials for the world. A point about the Tau, when they were beaten and there were no hope for victory, they withdrew. The Imperials if they were in their place would have died for a futile cause.

Discs from the device mounted on the back of his other hand joined the merciless hail of projectiles shot by his followers, a hail that hissed into the tyranids, slicing through their armour and severing their tendons. Like the men of Luggenhard, the eldar interlopers targeted the weaker points of the creatures, only their weapons were far more effective. A living tank fell to the floor as its knees gave out. It dragged itself forwards on its other four limbs, roaring in outrage.

Good point, they aren't morally squeaky clean; they're every bit as bad as people who, say, kill hive ships. Yeah, I get that those hive ships are full of living creatures, and, are living creatures. Of course, those living creatures are a threat to the whole damn galaxy and will never stop until everyone but their race is gone. Some guys like the Star Trek Federation would try to find a way to make a peace with the Chaos Gods, or the Hive Mind, or the Imperium.

Mere mortals like eldar, though? What can you do? Conventional wisdom dictates that when dealing with threats to the whole galaxy like daemons, tyranids and imperials, you kill them until they die. The eldar don't really 'get' that and often spare them, which is certainly pretty stupid, but its certainly more of a nice guy approach than they need to use.

As far as anyone can tell -- the necrontyr never asked the Old Ones for help, nor ever had a need to attack them. Instead, they attacked for purely political reasons. If I'm wrong, please give me a citation, but nothing remotely implies the necrontyr tried diplomacy -- considering there was never a need for an attack either.

>I'd truly want to see the galaxy without the Imperium, since who do you think would take over once the Eldar dropped the ball? Orks? Necrons? Who'd stand against the Tyranids? Or Chaos?

The orks DO run the galaxy, more or less. If you were to compare the number of ork planets to human ones, the galaxy would look stained green etc. With or without the Imperium, live in the galaxy carries on as normal, only without the Imperium, there's no lingering threat of Chaos to consume all (on the level of Daemonpocalypse anyway).

Past that -- yeah, necrons are quite well equipped to handle tyranids and chaos.

Outside of three dudes in the Necrontyr Empire, nobody knew the real reason of the war.

Most Necrontyr joined up to punish the Old Ones for their cruelty and the chance of beating the secrets out of the Old Ones. Had the Old Ones given the Necrontyr what they wanted, the war would never have come to pass. The Necrontyr wouldn't have united.

Another thing. The Old Ones were prescient. They should have foresaw that the Necrontyr would have declared war on them by saying no. This is all their failure!

Completely and utterly fucking irrelevant. The reason for declaring war on the Old Ones was what it was; the fact that most Necrontyr lapped the lie up without questioning it just shows how vile and bitter they were.

Such as? By the time the warp storms calmed down, the Emperor had his armies and plan of attack all laid out before him. And humanity was, by that time, spread across the galaxy, so it was just a matter of connecting the dots.

What other race would have been able to claim the galaxy before the orks or Chaos had claimed most of it?

It is relevant.

You think the Necrontyr would have united behind the Triarch, if they were granted immorality? No, they won't.

The Necrontyr Empire would have continued to fragment and then collapse on itself, or perhaps the Necrontyr would finally know peace and their culture would have changed.

>as the Necrontyrs’ young and fractious empire sprawled outwards through the stars, it inevitably encountered far older powers, beings that have dwelled in the galaxy for long aeons. Collectively, these beings were the Old Ones, and they were absolute masters of forms of energy the Necrontyr could not even conceive of, yet alone wield. The Old Ones had long ago conquered the secrets of immortality, yet they refused to share the gift of eternal life with the Necrontyr, who yet bore the curse of the bitter star they had been born under.

-----------------

>Clad in its godlike, awe inspiring form, one of the C’tan— known to its kin as the Deceiver -came before the court of the Silent King. It spoke of a war fought long before the birth of the Necrontyr, in which the C’tan had been vanquished by the Old Ones and cast to the furthest reaches of reality. Now, the Deceiver claimed, the C’tan were ready to return and reap a harvest of grim vengeance upon the Old Ones and all their progeny. The Necrontyr could share in their victory, the Deceiver promised, and be granted the immortality the Old Ones had so resolutely, and perhaps presciently, denied them.

Necrons asked nicely for generations, indeed.

Sure, aliens kinda know WHY the Imperium us on a genocidathon (i.e. muh religion) and that it's a function of their society rather than their genetics, but it makes no practical difference to them. When Orks turn up, you fight for your life. When Tyranids turn up, you fight for your life. When the Imperium turns up, you fight for your life.

Hell, the whole Damocles Gulf was the work of one butthurt priest, who rallied a pitiful force to wipe out the Tau because, quite frankly, he found the idea of an alien who's all nice and shit offensive.

To any species in the galaxy, they are just as much a thread to life as Orks or Tyranids are. The end result of contact with the Imperium is exactly the same as it would be with them, except Orks might keep some slaves rather than killing everyone.

He's not the only one arguing this.

The IoM are pretty solidly anti-alien. HUMANS in general might not be, and the further from the power-bases of the Imperium you get, the more leeway there'll be for them. But it has always been a core tenet of the Imperium that all aliens must die. It's right there in the Imperial oaths.

When it has the opportunity, the Imperium just kills every alien it can find. When it doesn't, things are more muddled, but such affairs only stand until someone from the central hierarchy of the Imperium takes notice and rallies up some crusade or another.

And yet one of the primary reasons for the creation of the Ordo Hereticus was to keep tabs on the Ecclesiarchy...

Sisters of Battle having to do with the Inquisiton outside of being apart of retinues, the thing about them being an Order Miliant has been struck, no mention in the Inquisitor, or as far as I'm aware, Adepta Sororitas codices of such a thing exists.

Tau weren't around in the beginning though

As the Anon above alludes to, it still seems to be very likely that the Tau were the Eldar trying to fill the shoes of their creators.

3e Witch Hunter codex was a brainfart made to sell models by tagging Inquisition into the Sister codex.

2e Sister codex has no Inquisition and even states the Ordo Hereticus was formed to monitor the Ecclesiarchy and make sure they don't fuck things up again. 5e and 6e Sister codexes have no Inquisitorial units and only reference to the Inquisition is that they monitor the Ecclesiarchy's adherence to the decree passiva. Codex: Inquisition ranks Sisters as an asset just like Marine chapters or IG regiments, while GK and Deathwatch are named as chamber militants of the Malleus and Xenos.

So, yeah, nothing has changed much.

It really doesn't fit no matter how you look at it. The eldar have never exhibited skill at genetic engineering, nor at non-psychoactive technology in general. The orks have a more credible chance at being behind the tau, since orks at least -can- interact with other races' tech.

Deathwatch kill-teams are small forces and you rarely see more than a handful of them. They're dedicated to the most tasking missions needing the best training and equipment. The rest of the fighting is left for the regular Imperial military.

Daemons and Chaos are a dangerous foe to even the hardiest of troops and having a dedicated anti-daemon chapter at their disposal to do the impossible and push back the forces of Chaos, is given.

Hereticus is internal affairs. Their whole purpose is to monitor the factions of the Imperium and weed out corruption and heresy. What sort of special "anti-Imperial" task force do they need that cannot be fulfilled by any PDF or Guard regiment, Marine chapter, Arbites precinct, etc.?

Probably not beyond the abilities of a Haemonculi

One even calls the Tyranid genetics something to the effect of "Delightfully simple" and how he'll have no trouble whipping up a batch for Lelith's arenas.

>>32118674

Probably should have been more clear, there are signs that the Eldar are responsible for the Ethereals, otherwise the only thing they may have done for the Tau is create the warpstorm which gave the Tau protection from the Imperium.

Again this is all speculation based on something it seemed GW was once going to run with, whether they still are or will is anyone's guess.

>''He sees the hand of the Eldar all about, though he was much gratified to discover that these erstwhile scions of the Old Ones are but a guttering remnant of their former glory. The presence of the Orks was of little surprise, for ever have their kind infested the universe. Of the Tyranids the Necrons knew little, but recognized them for the foe that had decimated the Charnovokh Dynasty. In the Tau, the regent saw traces of the work not of the Old Ones, but others of their progeny, determining that a more detailed examination would be necessary to ascertain their true heritage''

-Outer Reach

It's obvious that the Tau were meddled with by one of the servitor races of the Old Ones.

However, this is not their true heritage. The Necrons will investigate the mysteries behind the evolution and the rise of the Tau and then destroy them.

IIRC humans aren't so much a creation of the Old Ones as they were on the To-Do List before the Old Ones got killed.

I recall reading some things saying humans weren't manipulated at all by the Old Ones, and on the other extreme humans were slightly altered but the Oldies disappeared before they could do anything sensible.

Regular human scientists managed to control swarms of Nids that include Fexes, Zoans, and loads of big stuff.

Not that strange considering that they are fighting a universe spanning faction whose minds are linked by a space defying network called the Hivemind.

Does the Hivemind expand so far? Genestealers operate independently from the Hivemind until the hive fleet gets close enough and it take over them. If there's no synapse creature around, smaller shits revert to animalistic behavior (not just game rules, shooting the big monsters is a doctrine when facing tyranids in the fluff).

If the Hivemind had infinite range, those things shouldn't be a a thing.

Depends how fucking fast it's moving you cockhead.

And before you get me started on "HURR IT CAN'T GO FTL THERE'S NO PSYKER ON BOARD TO LET IT TRAVEL THE WARP DURR" the Tau apparently built their whole empire without FTL travel and the Nids are somehow moving through space at breakneck speed despite not traveling through the warp. The text also says that it's mission was "to reach the utmost limit of the universe". Blame GW's shithouse knowledge of astronomical distances but the intent behind that piece is clearly that the probe isn't in the Milky Way anymore, especially when you consider that the news of "Orks found in the Milky Way" is hardly going to cause "utter despair" amongst techpriests.
