A new edition, a new army - What's your poison?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hello intermcwebs! What a wet day...

Today I am going to discuss new armies! With the glorious 6th edition soon to be released it's a general Salopian practice to start a new project!

What I wonder is, how many of you are going to be starting new project for the new rules?
And what are you thinking of doing? Maybe moving out of your comfort zone? (so a xenos player playing marines and vice versa)

I think that I may either start Dark Angels or Eldar... Grey Knights keep calling me though...

[The AKH]

I've committed myself to "no purchases aside from new rules" until I get more of my Space Marines painted, so I'll be sticking to that and they'll remain my main army for 6th (as they have for most of 5th).

If the allies rumours of "add 1 HQ and 1 Troops" are true, I'll be reforming some of my Imperial Guard to use as an allied detachment for my Marines.

Once I've gotten through more of my power-armour backlog, then I'll revisit my first two armies, Necrons and Eldar. The Eldar will also get some attention if/when they get a new Codex.

And as far as "new" armies... the Dark Eldar have been calling to me for a while... hell, I'm even beginning to want to try my hand at the Tau for a bit of a changeup modelling/painting wise.

[Wolfshade]

I think you should do space wolves, vikings in spaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

Ah, that's a fair enough point, both of my 40k projects are basically done. So that's why I'm considering a new one.

Also Wolf, you are a bad, bad man. :p

[Wolfshade]

Wolf, you are a bad, bad man
That's what she said!

But more seriously, I think some Dangels would be cool, though a nice thematic army with chaplains, and cloaks and plasmas .

I've been saying that since 3rd came out, so far no progress on keeping that...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yeah, that's the kinda vibe I was going to go for with them. :)

[egorene]

I think i will start Necrons , they are really good looking minis .

And maybe Demons , but thats just upgrading and so doesn`t count .
(playing CSM , with some Demons)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I can vouch for the Necrons when I say that they are fantastic.
Brilliant to paint, brilliant to play.

[The AKH]

I've been saying that since 3rd came out, so far no progress on keeping that...

I've only been on the wagon for two months, so... I give myself at least til the 6th ed. box set comes out.

[Mr Mystery]

No new army for me. Still completely enamelled with my Necrons.

Enjoying them so much it will take a lot to galvanise a change! Though the alloy rules sound interesting.


Doyouseewhatididthere?

[energongoodie]

I will be starting a Brazen Minotaurs army and I will try to include all the best of the best with honours bits that we get with the rule changes and in the new codex, when ever that may be.

I love the idea of loyal marines hating other marines and kicking their ***.

[Wolfshade]

I have loads that need painting.

For my new edition I shall be continuing my Orkses, I started them two months ago so they can be my shiny new army

Have you read all the Raven Guard stuff with the Brazen Minotaurs?

[alshrive]

i am aiming to get my Necrons done and then i am tihnking about resurrecting my orks and giving them some love. or maybe DE, or a Marine army, or Tyranids, or.... basically i want to see the rules before i decide- i want to find something quirky to latch on to and do an army with!

[Mr Mystery]

Yeah, and now I want to kill you. :D

You should have steeled yourself for my pun laden onslaught. I can have a real brass neck me!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Mr Mystery, you are a very bad man.

Mr Shrive, cool, sounds like there will be lots of quirky in the new edition.

[energongoodie]

Have you read all the Raven Guard stuff with the Brazen Minotaurs?

I know about the audio drama. What other bits are there? I do not like the idea of missing out on fluff. Hit me me up with info.

[SotonShades]

Don't tempt me, vile creature!

I've been itching to start a Chaos combined force (Marines, Deamons and Guard) for a while. Lack of funds and too many thousands of points of unpainted Marines, Guard and Orks makes thgat seem a little pointless at the moment, but maybe when Chaos get their new Codex. Either way, preorders on Sat. Gamers Edition here I come. Please don't have tooo many awesome pictures of chaos... please...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I know about the audio drama. What other bits are there? I do not like the idea of missing out on fluff. Hit me me up with info.

They're all by George Mann, there was Helion Rain, Labyrinth of Sorrows, Prey (online e book), and Unkindness of Ravens (limited edition release, that I have reviewed)

They are described as being hard as nails, they have a vendetta against a nurgle chaos sect.
They're like the exact opposite of Imperial Fists, relentless attackers.

[Wolfshade]

Mr Mystery, you are a very bad man.

I think we may have found our 4th

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yey!

[Wolfshade]

Not sure it is a good things

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Got any planes yet Wolf?

[Wolfshade]

Just the learjet...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Learjet?

[Wolfshade]

Learjet (http://businessaircraft.bombardier.com/en/3_0/3_2/3_2_1/3_2_1.jsp)
I was being amusing, no I've got none, my BA can't have them and it is against my ork philosphy, my ork philosphy is hit it with an axe, hit it with a bigger axe

[DrLove42]

Well...*cough* OT

I've already got 3 armies, the wife would kill me if I even considered a 4th considering the space and money it would consume.

Better to just slowly increase the existing ones.

And lets face it, with a radical change in rules i'll likely need to buy stuff to make the armies good again

[alshrive]

i am slowly bringing my soon-to-be-wife around to the idea that we do not have a spare room, we have a geek chamber! i think she has accepted that she is marrying both me and an inordinate amount of tiny plastic peoples!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

@alshrive - The plastic populace! :D

@Dr Love - I suppose when you get to our ages and you get a wife, and kid(s) you kinda have to withdraw on a lot of hobby stuff.

@Wolf - The Ork army I wrote up was full of Dakka!

[Wolfshade]

Good work :D

[Deadlift]

I am committed to my salamanders at the moment, but when the new Chaos space marine dex comes, well then I may well be looking at Thousand Sons.

I was trying to keep away from starting yet another army, but as the OP says its kind of accepted practice to start a new army when a new edition arrives, that's all the justification I need :o

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hah! That's the spirit Deadlift! :D

My mate has started Ultramarines, because he's the Opposite Hipster.

[DrLove42]

Although that said io'm playing with a Pre/Mid/Loyalist Post Heresy Word Bearers in my head, using FW stuff.

And I'm not ruling out some future armies - always loved Orkses.

I long ago accepted my lovely lady will not be playing or painting with me any time soon, just as shes accepted i will spend far too much time playing with plastic men

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I long ago accepted my lovely lady will not be playing or painting with me any time soon, just as shes accepted i will spend far too much time playing with plastic men

Hah, women that I've dated have had to accept that too. xD

I'd like to do Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons, but their helmets are awkward.

[Wolfshade]

I hid mine until after we were married XD

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

'til death do you part. xD

[Happosai]

I don't plan on a new army just yet. I'm still working on my first, as I've only been into 40k for at most 3 months now. ;)

Maybe I shoulda waited those months until 6th came out?

[eldargal]

Might make some Ordo Xenos allies for my Eldar, during a big campaign my Craftworld signed a treaty with my brothers faction of Ultramar and Ordo Hereticus forces. Be nifty to represent that in the battlefield. Inquisitor-counts-as-Lord Inquisitor and some OH inducted guardsmen and a couple of tanks or something. Have enough so they are a little display army in their own right but just use them as allies.

If Inquisitor Valeria ever gets a nice model might make a little Ordo Hereticus force.

[Wolfshade]

GW just doesn't seem to get nice female scultps

That'd be quite cool, you should have some Deathwatch Marines.
May I petition that Artor Llanorwi of Hyperion be in there? :p

[alshrive]

i couldn't hide it for that long! plus when i met her i worked for GW so she just kinda had to shut up and accept it lol! following on with the theme of the post now- if the new Chaos Dex is up-to-scratch i may finally get around to doing a pure Nurgle CSM force (with Guard allies possibly!)

with allies FINALLY in. I can make the army I've always wanted a mechanicus army done right. guard allied with marines. Going to be SO much fun.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Ah, yes. That one that you were talking about in the DIY Codex thread.
What's the plan gendo?

[gendoikari87]

Ah, yes. That one that you were talking about in the DIY Codex thread.
What's the plan gendo?

well I have someone making me a custom Valeria (below) I'm going to use her as an explorator with a retinue of Mechanicus terminators (AOBR or whatever the new box is) as a secutorial retinue. With a base of veterans with carapace armor as skitarii. sprinkle in some tanks and some IC in 3+ armor saves for techpriest leaders for the skitarii and voila. Not sure on what to use as the IG HQ though....

and no, that's not a lightsaber, it's a sollex energy blade from the aegis fragment.
http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/18/378826_sm-.jpg

[Wolfshade]

Looks good. I like the idea.
I think the idea of being able to use allies will open up the possibility of playing diy codex without having to make up rules/points

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like that!

Use Straken, he's pretty robotic.

[gendoikari87]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like that!

Use Straken, he's pretty robotic.

strakens a lot of points, and also would make the skitarii CC oriented, which isn't what they are there for. Though if he affects allies I might have to get a techpriest and convert a straken.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yeah, either him or maybe just a cheap Lord Commissar? Don't use him for anything, don't even purchase any upgrades except maybe a Plasma Pistol.

[gendoikari87]

Honestly for the guard HQ i'm thinking of using the obvious techpriests since it was recently faqed that they can count as your manditory HQ's and giving them some Plasma cannon servitors.

[Wolfshade]

The new plasa servitors should like they could be great

[gendoikari87]

The new plasa servitors should like they could be great

are they new? I thought they were just the old ones moving to finecast.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Oh! I didn't realise that they could be mandatory! That's the obvious choice then! :D

[gendoikari87]

Oh! I didn't realise that they could be mandatory! That's the obvious choice then! :D

yup, too bad they aren't IC.

[Wolfshade]

are they new? I thought they were just the old ones moving to finecast.

They could be, I thought that the existing ones (now not on GW.com) were Heavy Bolter or Multimelta

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

yup, too bad they aren't IC.

That is a shame... They don't have a brilliant statline either if I recall.

[gendoikari87]

That is a shame... They don't have a brilliant statline either if I recall.

well technically the techpriests in the IG codex are really low level techpriests in training, not full out techpriests. They also aren't secutors and aren't really trained to fight.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

D'awwwwhhh... Poor Enginseers.

I may do a Grey Knight/Space Wolf mix-up (1st war for Armageddon)

[The Madman]

depending on how the Allies rules work out i'll be dusting off all my daemons from my 3.5 chaos marine army incluidng some old and new tzeentch that i got for fantasy (all have magnetized bases to play both games). so my Word Bearers will feel like Word Bearers again. :D

[Wolfshade]

Yes! Awesome! Go Word Bearers! :D

[The AKH]

That's one thing I left out. Reading Legion and Deliverance Lost made me want to delve into the depths of the XX Legion.

I already play a XIX Legion successor so the Alphas are the perfect counterpoint!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Only so that I can have Hyperion. :p

Excuses, excuses

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Actually, I preferred Malchadiel, he was a boss!

[Wolfshade]

Actually, I preferred Malchadiel, he was a boss!

Who>?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hyperion, Sothis, Malchadiel, Dumenidon, and Justicar Galeo - Squad Castian, 8th Brotherhood of the Grey Knights.

[Learn2Eel]

Depends.
I started Grey Knights a fortnight ago but if the rumoured Allies chart is in, and for normal 1v1 games, I'll be buying a lot of Tzeentch daemons. It might not be the best idea because Chaos Space Marines are being re-done but meh, I want more Tzeentch flavour in my list.

If it isn't, then I'll continue the Grey Knights.
I'm still yearning to do an all-wraith Eldar army though.

[gendoikari87]

God I can see the purifier/longfang builds now.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

God I can see the purifier/longfang builds now.

:eek:
DAS IST NICHT GUT!

However, I shall not be doing that, I want Squad Castian at the time of Armageddon.
Unfortunately by that time Sothis was dead. :(

[Learn2Eel]

God I can see the purifier/longfang builds now.

:eek:
Surely GW has to restrict it so that we don't see stuff like that.

[Wolfshade]

Hyperion, Sothis, Malchadiel, Dumenidon, and Justicar Galeo - Squad Castian, 8th Brotherhood of the Grey Knights.

I see, from the book

[gendoikari87]

:eek:

if you had Grey knights, and you suddenly COULD wouldn't you buy some long fangs?

WAIT A MINUTE. People could ally a unit of broadsides. Holy **** tanks will be dead everywhere.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Mother of god.

[Tauownz]

Got a feeling each army is going to have a different ally. IG get GK, Chaos get daemons, etc. Being a tau player we need more survivable troops, hoping for a space marine alliance personally.

[Throatpunch]

I am going to continue my Necrons, slow build up the Corsairs (which I have a great start to), and potentially Dark Eldar.

[Black Hydra]

Man so many armies to choose from. I'm already building my Necrons and Chaos/IG armies, but I've been eyeing that sexy Corsair list for some time. There's also the less than sexy Orks. Power armored orks? Where's your God-Emperor now Space Marines?

[Wolfshade]

Oh fudgecake you man.
there fixed it for you
(Sorry latency was my commute)
O_o do I want to know what it is to fudgecake someone

Puts a whole new twist on this advert.

[eldargal]

I'm also tempted to start an Alaitoc Eldar army based on the Path series of novels, with a converted Thirianna as Farseer. Squads and characters named after those in the books. Pathfinders will be pretty good in 6th, though Guardians probably won't be. Also a welcome change from painting white, pink and purple Eldar.

[Wildeybeast]

I personally don't see the draw in starting a new army with a new edition. Given the rules changes I'll probably need to make tweeks to all my exisitng ones, so I prefer to wait until a new codex comes along that grabs my attention.

[Charistoph]

Hmmph, I think I need to finish my poor Chaos Cursed descendants of VII Legion before I start any new projects. I need to get ONE army up to painted status! Especially since I can barely squirrel a way a night a month to do anything with them. Note: Tiny Children + (OR(Models, Paint)) = NOT GOOD.

It'll be nice when they are old enough to be trusted with plastic and brush, but until then, my experiences are limited.

Good responses so far everyone! Loving the thoughts of new projects.

My friend has said the exact same, his hobby is suffering too.

[Wolfshade]

Also a welcome change from painting white, pink and purple Eldar.

there isn't enough purple in 40k :(

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

There's usually something purple in each of my armies. :p

[Wolfshade]

My Orkses have in the obvious place, but none in my BAs maybe I could paint the librarians purple instead of blue (blue makes me think of ultra marines which isn't good)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Necrons have purple markings, Storm Wardens have purple purity seals and cloaks. :D

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm thinking Eldar for 6th!

Craftworld Kaelor

Farseer Amonthyryr (Ah-mon-thigh-ihr)
A powerful yet reckless Farseer, true aryan appearance (blond hair, piercing blue eyes)
He walks a doomed path and threatens to take his Craftworld with him.
Will not stop until he cleanses the galaxy of intruders, really hates Necrons.

The previous "head" Farseer is now interred in a Wraithlord and serves as a kind of guide to Amonthyryr. Haven't got a name for him yet.

The Craftworld is famous for it's raid-like tactics, constantly on the offensive. Eldar from this Craftworld are particularly hot-headed and angry. The youth of the Craftworld typically join Corsair bands to get most of the excitement out of their system, as such the Eldar tend to be covered in war paint.

The Craftworld symbol is the sigil of Khaine’s Rebirth, embodying the War aspect of the Craftworld.

They're also in the Calixis sector, which means that they'll run into the Storm Wardens a lot.

A few ideas so far. :D

[Wolfshade]

I don't think of Farseers as being reckless, admittedly it has been a long time since I've read their fluff or played them, but I always imagined them almost vulcan like with their pragmatism and always looking for the long game

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Re. my Sun Mage comment.

[woodenronin]

I have an IG army that has only seen Killzone. Time to step up and play with the big boys.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hell yeah! :D

[Wolfshade]

I see, they are hot blooded, I always like armies with a story.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I always have a cool story!

[Chris Copeland]

I've been a Xenos player for all of Vth Edition. I think I'll begin VIth Edition by taking a walk on the Power Armor side: Blood Angels, here I come!

PS I've acquired 60 Marines, 2 Baal Predators, 1 Whirlwind, 3 Dreads, 2 Devastator squads, I Scout Sniper squard, 2 Rhinos, and a Stormraven (as well as a smattering of special characters and individual models). All of the above is mostly assembled and unpainted (except for the Stormraven which I painted as a one-off last year and then traded away). I traded my Flames of War stuff for it all.

So, as you can see, VIth Edition will see me joining the Sons of Sanguinus... now I've got some painting to do.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Nice Stormraven dude!

[Wolfshade]

That thing is a thing of beauty, and makes my flying box look a bit erm naff

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I haven't seen your painting Wolfie.

[Wolfshade]

There is very good reason for that

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Are you a bad?

[Chris Copeland]

Nice Stormraven dude! Thank you! I wanted it to look like the damn thing runs on diesel...

[Wolfshade]

Are you a bad?

Yes, bad but not as youth on the street means it i.e. good, I mean bad as in poor quality. :( It frustrates me, though with patience and practise I could get better

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Thank you! I wanted it to look like the damn thing runs on diesel...

I do not want that hurtling towards me! :D


@Wolf - that's a shame dude, though I'll be the judge when we eventually have a game.

[Wolfshade]

My orks are ok, just my blood angels, at times I look at them and want to scrap them and start again. It was the trouble of painting large amounts when I was 10

[Chris Copeland]

I do not want that hurtling towards me! :D

Thanks, TDA! Here are some more pics of the completed model:
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1539031478589.2072246.1318955238&type=3&l=acd32a8ad2

Like I said, I painted this as a one-off project. It was a "black box" model that I did for my LGS. Now that VIth edition is here I've decided to play Blood Angels. I've re-acquired this model and I've picked up a bunch of un-painted BA stuff. Time to get painting again...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'll check that when I get out of work, may I send over a Friend Request?

[Chris Copeland]

I'll check that when I get out of work, may I send over a Friend Request? Sure, if you wish. However, that gallery should be available for public viewing even for folks without FB accounts. Cheers!

[Wolfshade]

I'll have to check when I'm at home, FB is against company policy

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yeah, but I can't get on FB at work. :/

[Wolfshade]

Well this is the weird thing I can, but I am not supposed to access it. I wouldn't mind but the policy is from a company I don't work for!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Awkward.

[Wolfshade]

more frustrating

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

[Wolfshade]

I can, but have signal issues at work

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Why haven't you added me on Facebook? :p

Me? Because I don't like you :p
More seriously don't know your email addy

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Search Dale Jordan Parratt, I'm wearing shades in Games Workshop.

[Chris Copeland]

Me? Because I don't like you :p

I don't like you either. You'd better watch yourself! We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hahahahaha! Nice.
This is my Brother-in-Law Scott, he's visiting from Hoth.

[Wolfshade]

Hoth? More like Colth

[Black Hydra]

I know I said Orks before for the Meganobz but they are kind of limited. So instead I might go the way of the Great Squat Muncher or the Greater Good. Why? Because both those armies can be allied with IG in some way or another. Tau auxiliaries anyone? Or Genestealer cult? All awesome. I love that IG are so flexible fluff wise which is why I'm fielding them with CSM.

[KrewL RaiN]

I may get some CSM for my Daemons. I could go the Word Bearers route.

[olberon]

since the new SM army will be Dark Angels (and a lot of mates are starting a DA army) i decided to go for a Crimson Fists army.

I don't need a new army...I have a cunning and evil 2000 point list idea

Apparantly 6th lets you double up your FoC slots when you get to 2000 points. Now...the named Farseer in IA11 lets me take 4 heavy slots. At 2000 points thats 8 heavy slots.

I'm considering;

Named Farseer
Wraithseer
And 8 Wraithlords.

Would leave me about 500 points for troops (400 once i take the required Wraithguard unit)

Sounds like fun to me :P. 2000 points, 9 Wraithlords.

That seems dull :p
