Osomatsu-san?

Dis soundz right Orky.

I favour the theory of one original one who then provided a geneseed line for the rest…

With the amount of content he had already published, I think he has trained an AI to speak with his voice and there is a team writting the scripts

​@@maxtracker2904good god imagine the content when we also have primaris auspex

Right! I played in 5th, then had to quit until end of 9th cuz of life reasons. I studied 6, 7 and 8th tho. Coming back I knew I wanted to play blood angels but that's it. Auspex helped me figure out what to buy first. Not just his videos either, I messaged him on FB and he responded. Truly an A+++ individual. If all Warhammer players were more like him, then we'd no longer have those select little pockets of toxic people (to be fair, Warhammer has less than any other game played on a table. Magic is ok, except everyone is "that guy" and at least half use body odor as a weapon (if there is a mtg tournament, I will choose a different location. Our main local store is huge largest I've seen, but not big enough you can escape the smell of ten mtg players being in the room. (Play area is almost as big as the entire planet fitness building next door to it, and gyms have to be big-ish for all the equipment and boxing ring). D&d players say they are new people friendly, but even when they know you don't have books and it's your first time playing that edition, they expect you to just figure it out without help. Maybe inform the rogue that boots of elven kind are something they want? Warhammer is different. I've only met one dude that ever smells bad, and that only happens when you schedule a game close enough to the time he gets off that he can't shower before hand. Other than that, everyone is very welcoming, and they don't just stomp you, if they stomp you they give you pointers on how to prevent it from happening again. Models not fully painted because I got a bad back.... No worries the fact they are in progress is good enough. Auspex does our community justice, maybe even makes us look cooler than we are.

I’m in the opposite position, I am looking for a new army to branch into, and most of the things I know about any army that isn’t custodes are from lore and memes

Depends on the list. Current tournament winning Sisters lists are MSU swarm with 50+ regular battle sisters sitting on all the points farming miracle and getting in the way as the artillery and vahlgons take care of everything else.

Mutilated dudes are critical to the faction IMO. The sisters are the veneer - all covered in images of purity and sanctity - while the archoflagellants show the faction for what they really are; the closest things to chaos the Imperium has. Agreed on the tanks though.

Don't forget the Nurglings! :D

i would argue far better then dreaghtnought xD

Unfortunately the only balance indexes can get now are point drop turning them into hordes. It *should* be better when everyone has a codex . Then true balancing (internal and external) can happen

​@@zissoulander but the month after the last codex, the next edition begins World Eaters only had a 9E codex out for a few weeks before 10E came out

​@KappaKiller108 it's so fucking stupid, why does GW think it's a good idea to drop codexes in this wonky schedule and why do costumers accept this shit, every codex should come out the moment the new edition begins

Better start doing meth: it's cheaper, healthier, and your dealer respects you more

I did this recently under the same circumstances, played eldar in 2nd and 3rd, came back in 10th, playing Tau now, lovin em. Always liked the idea of ranged firepower and handing out the greatest of goods

Jump into your Eldar. You know you want to

​@@arc4830 As a child of the 80's who grew up on Robotech/Macross and tabletop Battletech, the Tau esthetic is quite appealing to me.

Careful with Nids, lots of models are tough to find these days, it can be a very stressful thing on your motivation level

i'm assuming he's a brit, and it was mid-morning when this got uploaded

​@@therobotFrom94yeah im reasonably sure he is.

@@hardcorelace7565 well he's definitely British but I didn't want to assume he lived here

A gross mismanagement of the ip and the faction. Should turn the CEO into a servitor...

I do agree. The problem is that GW is allergic to rules changes and usually only wants to change point costs for balance. It's the major reason why Admech aren't looking to be a big contender for this edition. Codex launched in a really lackluster state and GW seems like they won't do anything to actually make the units more dangerous, just make you field more of them.

That would be the conundrum with Kastellan Robots, either they need a boast in their datasheet to justify their current points cost or a decrease in points if they remain as they are.

Bro/bro-ess? He gets it. He's always pointing out admech need rules or datasheet buffs and not points decreases. He mentions this in basically every video that mentions admech.

Ffs the whole codex needs to be burnt to ash and be re-written. I wanted to start an Admech 1000pts force and realised that Ill have to spend half a salary on it and they would be trash. Hitting on 4s while having no melee ? Stratagems suck or are situational and the salt in the wound is the vehicle oriented detachment that all it pretty much does is give the Doctrinas to the Kastelans. Its so f'ed up its like GW just outirght HATES admech

Rock and stooone BROTHAA

I've been researching to see which army my 1st 40k purchase will go towards and this channel (along with a few others) have been excellent sources.

Custodes for sure, idk about others.

Imperial/Chaos Knights, and from what I hear grey knights, custodes, thousand sons, death guard, and world eaters as well.

@@hardcorelace7565 if I picked up Custodes I'd need to come up with a new colour scheme as I really don't like gold

@@nunyabusiness7018 I love the idea of playing Chaos, TS would probably be my pick but I'm interested in Emperor's Children too

@@therobotFrom94 there's a couple of really cool non gold ones, like the shadowkeeper black/purple looks great!

hehe sounds to me like karma...custodes was quite a meta whore army and now it seems the table has turned :D

I saw people wining after codex, but the list was the worst part (canis rex + 3 calladius grav tanks + characters, how you said, If you want to play custodes, dont play them, use imperial knight with some random custodes characters to follow them xd

Yeah, literally this. I feel like I'm playing hide and seek with lictors at the end because I'm just trying to avoid certain death. Nearly took out a land raider in one turn with the casino cannon last game though

It's baffling to me that half the faction identity seems to revolve around battle shock which is pretty much a nothing no impact mechanic even when it DOES activate. I've never had an opponent's battle shocked units be the reason the tide turned. And for how little it does proc, it genuinely makes me question what the point of the mechanic is. It's the one rule that everyone I play with near unanimously forgets exists, even when I'm bringing NIDS to the table. It makes me wish that it was either not in the game and all abilities revolving around it are completely re-worked (much more effort) or that battle shock itself gets re-worked. Talked about it with a friend and we homebrewed an alternative ruleset because we were both tired of our big tanky units getting one shot if we didn't win the dice roll to go first, so we decided to play with alternating move-shoot where each player does a single unit's move-shoot-charge-fight phase before passing it to the other person, and reworking battle shock into a morale system like in Total War where units who fail the check will fall back half their movement (disabled on Battle Round 1 because of things like AdMech Rad-Zone), and if they hit the edge of the board as a result, they'll flee to the reserves, allowing them to be deployed elsewhere. It's a lot more dynamic and fun in our opinion because he gets to actually use his Baneblade and it'll survive long enough to actually fire at least one time. Counter units live long enough to actually counter SOMETHING instead of being deleted because you rolled a 1 and your opponent rolled a 5, so they get to move and shoot before you even have a chance to respond. We're still tweaking it, but at least now battle shock does something more interesting. We even thought about changing it to a failed battle shock check rolls 1d6 and if it rolls a 6 it will retreat its full movement away from the closest enemy unit because we thought Deadly Demise was by far the most entertaining and hilariously fun ability. Always a good time when something explodes.

@@tgr3423 it's called One Page Rules ;) look it up, many people love it

They lost their ability to kill things but gained the ability to not be killed (easily) in the WAAGH

He’s the man!!!

Deathwing termies are good. 5 more points than normal termies and you ignore hit modifiers and can run a plasma cannon!

Yeah, I'm surprised the spore mines have still escaped being slapped with a "this unit cannot perform secondaries" nerf.

@@MrShukaku1991 I think GW knows we would be unplayable without it propping up our winrate and are too lazy to actually fix the codex in return for getting rid of them.

Plagueburst has indirect

Indirect fire makes a big difference especially when combined with the lord of virulence, it’s easier to keep them safe/actually able to be hidden behind most terrain, their sponson weapons are generally better than the defiler’s, and arguably most importantly they are cheaper. Plus it’s pretty hard to really utilise the defiler’s melee given it’s basically got a giant ‘shoot me’ sign on it, and there isn’t much of a damage difference in their main gun… +1 damage vs lethal hits… so it’s a more expensive and risky unit for not all that much in the way of benefits (especially when if you want something to park on a middle objectives there’s better death guard units t which you where already prob gonna take).

I shudder when my opponent puts three plagueburst tanks on the field. They instantly become priority targets due to indirect fire.

@@Swampert919 But an enemy shooting at a defiler is wonderful. Stealth and cover behind the smoke stratagem. It is only 10(!) points more expensive, not 40 or 80. This is a ridiculous difference. The plugburst's sponson guns are weak, do not shoot far, and are quite comparable to one twin-linked defiler laser cannon. And what kind of threat is this that is scary to receive an indirect hit with damage 2? This is an anti-infantry profile. And, again, it is useless in close combat in an army about close combat and mid-range combat.

@@Wybrand418 What if he places three defilers, who will go under the smoke screen, which stacks with the disease at -1 to the ballistic skill? Which has more damage, better range, strong melee and a terrifying tank shock? Or do your armies somehow shoot at each other without entering the line of sight?

Only for the generic no brand marines though. Take any legendary character or unique chapter and those rates go up

The problem is that space marines is by far and away the most popular newbie faction. Which means all the inexperienced players bringing SM armies are hurting them. It also doesn’t help most experienced marine players are going into a divergent chapter this edition for Space Marine +

@@timunderbakke8756 I agree - I think it is just the high new player rate that is driving their numbers down. Any serious competitive player can take them all the way.

Eventually instead of minis Ad Mech will just use gold tokens on the table to simulate the cost of the army :P

Question for you. Do you ever use a land raider or just rhinos? If you do use a land raider do you have a suggestion on what should go in it?

@@wolfgangstallionmusic5639 Dependant on what you want, if it's melee land raider if it's range rhino because it's cheaper.

im gonna be honest i dont quite see the application of 6 ap theres a point you get to where ap stops mattering much

@@mouthwide0pen It means anything with a 2+ save can't save but ap -7 makes it so even with cover it can't save so the appeal of it is that it's insane tank killing when something only has a 2+ save.

I've only looked at the Chaos and Drukhari factions, and Death Guard was the only one wrong

Should hopefully be fixed now

That's what the [ANTI-INFANTRY 3+] on half of their weapons is meant to represent.
