This community is for discussions about the world, miniatures, and game of 40K.
Please share pictures of your painted miniatures, your conversion projects, painting guides, conversion guides, rules questions, rules interpretations, news about local events, news about remote events, house rules, battle reports where your army shines, battle reports where your army is demolished in an entertaining way, guides for winning with your faction, guides for defeating their faction, fan fiction... basically, share cool stuff. Err on the side of sharing more stuff, and assume we'll find it cool.
Only in-universe bigotry.
Dumping on your least favorite faction is cool (preferably in-character!); racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism (this list is making me sad, and I'm outraged that it is easy to add more), et cetera, is not.
Attribution is required.
If you post your own material, make sure to let us know. You should be proud! If you want to post someone else's material, then at minimum the post needs to include the name of the creator, and where to find the source. Ideally, you post a link to the source so everyone can share, and so that creators have a chance to benefit from their work.
Think about the person first.
A paint job might look like it was executed with a brush clutched between the painter's toes, but maybe it was done by an enthusiastic but inexperienced teen. A kind word before the criticism might make a lifelong fan (or friend!), but a thoughtless comment might send them packing for good. We want more people to play with, not fewer.
Ad hominem attacks, it should go without saying, are uncool.
Must be relevant.
If it isn't 40K or 40K-universe relevant, please post it! We don't want to stifle anyone's creativity, or discourage communication. Just post it somewhere else.
It's definitely a departure from 9th. Lethality is way down, multimeltas don't cut it for taking on 10th armor (Sororitas player). Feels like some of the more fleshed out factions may have a better time of the edition.
Also, what the heck is up with Death Guard? 4 inch movement on terminators is laughably bad.
I heard that Strands of Fate has also been nerfed already (I haven't looked into it yet). I'm sure that a) the rough edges will get polished off soon enough and b) the indexes will end up being the Playschool versions of the eventual lists. Codex creep is a central component of GW's marketing strategy, after all.
Yeah, I definitely feel like things will get better once all the codexes are out, but the indexes are a little rough. They nerfed indirect via points, as well as that obscenely undercoated Wraithknight, so at least they're working relatively quickly on keeping things balanced.
