Useless power armors

The power armors in this franchise universe do not protect its wearers from attacks.

No armor? You die.
Wearing armor? You die.

One proof (out of many) is the recent game trailer.
Power armors are useless. Discuss.

it's still a 3+

That's some fuckinh heresy you spout out.
Should expect much from a light armored FAG!
>M-muh speed
>Mu-muh agility

You're a fucking retard

ye stupit or something like?

but he's right. you die with or without the armor from any hit

this

This guy sees the big picture.

3+ save on the tabletop, though that is average by the game's standard.
8 DR in the RPG, which is very much above average.

So no, you're just ignorant.

>what is a 3 up save
> what is being a walking tank

Maybe if you ver bombarded with heavy artillary, plasma explosions or anti-armor rounds you can die but power armor is suppose to make you a walking tank. I fucking hate lifht armor autists because no other Sci-fi shitfest uses power armor aside fallout and Warhammer. Just the typical, clean, cookiecutter nanosuit, light armor bullshit now a days.

>die in one hit
>vets can serve hundreds of years

How does one get into the table top? How hard are these things to assemble and paint?

they're just that damn good

Not hard, but expensive. Also, time consuming (read: tedious)

But hey, there's worse hobbies to have like hardcore drugs

painting can be tricky but assembly is breeze, just need super glue

find an army that you like thematically and run wild

Fairly easy, with a steady hand and patience. Marines are easy to build and paint since they're made up of mostly large, flat surfaces. Price is the real hurdle

What is this 3+ meme? What does it even mean?

THAC0

3+ save on the die man

>but expensive
Yeah, I know.

I once went inside my local Games Workshop and asked the salesperson there why the Stormtrooper squad cost $35 while the Space Marine Veteran squad cost $50 despite having the same number of models and being the same type of box.

>super glue
What? Not even snap-fit?

Their armor save in the tabletop.

Its the dice roll on a single dice required to prevent them dying when they are hurt in the tabletop. For example an Ork hits a Space marine with its choppa/axe, rolls to hit and then to see if it wounds. The Space marine then gets to roll a dice to see if his armour saves on and on a 3+ he is fine.

So it's nerd shit that I don't give a shit about. Fuck off.

And what did he answer?

if you roll a 3 or higher they dont take damage

Kek, fucking retard.

This isn't Gunpla, user. Modelling usually requires actual supplies.

>nerd shit
>ON THE VIDEO GAMES JAPANESE ANIME BOARD

this better be b8

This is a nerd topic you fucking dongle

>Uses nerd as insult
Whatta Zoggin' grot.

This is why you educate yourself before you shitpost, user

>ask nerdy topic to nerds on nerd website
>lol u guis r such nerds

This is some pretty weak bait.

now guardsmen, THEY have useless armor

>Mfw guardsman flak armor and lasguns are MORE superior than today's modern weaponry
user pls.

Well if you didn't wear armour then lighter weapons could bring you down. Only the big leagues are any real threat. Usually. Right?

yes but for their setting their so outclassed it's funny

>Big leagues
Deffinetly
Power armor is suppose to protect you from all infantry. Anything with more firepower than a Rhino and you're fucked.

He gave a long answer that I did not understand but the way I understood it is that the Stormtrooper box are grunts and the Space Marine Veterans are like one-off boss units so I got the impression that they price models based on powerlevels than actual content.

Yeah, and it's fucking useless when I play against anyone. There is an overabundance of armor piercing weaponry, it's fucking insane. Everyone has some gay pieplate that instagibs everything I have. Shit is so boring when you include tanks and jets, it's why I sold my GK army.

No, all of it needs to be glued. And it's very easy to do. Painting is more difficult and time-consuming, but it can be fun. And yes, it is prohibitively expensive. It's basically the reason why I and my friends don't really play it anymore. Just too expensive to have a well-rounded army.

>not playing 30k

What armor, that's a bunch of guys in t-shirts

>all those stitches and holes
Is this canon?

Well of course because it's so stupidly cheap to mass produce it. Equipping all guardsmen regiments with the same munitions of the adeptus would be impossible and a waste of equipment because a 10000+ dead guardsman is considered a victory.

This is what happens when MEQs are the baseline.

now come on dude if the guardsman had better armor they wouldn't die in droves.

>you die with or without the armor from any hit
>armor is useless because you can still die

no silly the filthy orks wear tee-shirts this is imperium brand cardboard

Yeah, which is bullshit. Imp Guard should be the baseline, not the fucking supermen that apparently number one million but die like little bitches in every match. I'm so fucking sick of running with well armored guys and having them all killed as easy as expendable Tau detachments. I don't want to run cheap shitty mech squads but I have to

The fuck do you mean is it Canon?
Yes that's how Space Marines are made. You cut them open, stuff gene-seed organs, pump em' full of drugs and stitch it back up. No pg shit like in halo.
Not really considering most of the guardsmen only recieve 3 day's worth of training before being shipped off. And besides one guardsman is replacable in five seconds.

depends on the Guard, really. Cadian regiments are supposed to be well-trained from childhood.

>assemble army of Salamanbros
>Painting is a pain but is good enough
>Feel proud of army, some tactical squads, a command squad, a rino and an assaul squad and a heavy squad
>buy a chaplain in bike and one of those hover planes (forgot the name) for added speed and shit
>only have a friend who plays
>chaos undivided
>refuses to paint his shit
>offer to paint them for him
>we can finally play
>he moves away
>tfw salamanbros collecting dust

About 250 bucks of empty promises and broken dreams.

Still doesn't make much of a difference if they die in droves. I never understand why any general would think having guarsman fight as infantry against anything is a good idea. Just deploy baneblades and you win any war.

Why don't the more reasonable races all team up against the Chaos, Orks, nids and Necron?

Those are clearly the bigger threats than Tau or Eldar.

Because fuck all xenos heretic

>Deploy the super valuable vehicle you have a severely limited supply of and have no idea how to fix if anything goes wrong.

>playing
>not just collecting

I collect Tau myself and my neighbor bought the Astartes Ultra megabox when it was released. Hilariously enough he's still only 3/4 done but promised himself he would complete it before this year ends.

Starcraft uses power armor on Space marines.

>you will never be a Guardsman who impregnates a Far Seer and brings everlasting peace between mon'keigh and Eldar
>no Baneblades popping out en masse of a Webway Gate

>Losing even one baneblade
>Ever
Nigger what are you doing wrong?
Eldar have their heads so far up their own asses
Tau too exept they're more naive and retarded
And Imperium wont work with disgusting xenos. What you think this is Mass Effect kid?

Because they're aren't any reasonable races.

Wait, he bought a $12,000 US box of W40K marines? That thing has like 50 Rhinos in it, the fuck could you ever need all that for

Well sorry Commissar but hitting that Chaos Terminator that Teleported inside the Baneblade was kind of a bitch to do.

>>Losing even one baneblade
>>Ever

Are you ignoring the fact that armor is somewhat useless and that having better guns is infinitely more important?

>you will never be LIIVI

Actually guardsmen are skimmed from the best of the PDF, who are trained extensively considering 99% of the time they don't see active duty and have nothing better to do. Of course they still end up coming into the IG green because the PDF is a shitshow, mostly because the PDF is constantly getting the best skimmed off which leaves only the mediocre and worthless, but still. New IG recruits don't just get "3 days of training", they have to have proven themselves to some degree first.

>all these humie gits talking about 3+ save Power armour
>mfw Ork mega armour gives 2+ save and canonically protects Orks from direct ordinance

Zoggin grot lickin gits muckin about is what you humies are.

That's on purpose though, their value is in the fact that the units are so dirt-cheap that they have power through sheer numbers.

YOU JUST WEREN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH HERETIC!
More guardsman regiments should follow his leading examples.

So the secret to surviving in the Imperium of Man is to be mediocre?

Good to know

Yep, he was the talk of the town of our local Games Workshop and nearby hobby store and I helped assemble most of his Drop Pods, Dreadnoughts, Bikes and Predators while he did most of the rest.

One of the GeeDubs manager came over and helped him with the Terminators and some of the Rhinos. Every weekend he'd churn out a few tactical marines since he's pretty good with an airbrush.

>not teaming up with orks

Being mediocre is how you become a servitor/skull probe/etc.

Just mediocre enough so that the arbites/commissar won't shoot you.

Well that Chaos Terminator marine was a Word Bearer and made a pretty convincing argument as to why the crew and I should join Chaos.

that chaos marine always gets me

Cadia is an exception because it's in a perpetual war. You need to be tough just to grow up there.

So... You have to be better than mediocre, but worse than good?

It's the year 40k, user. There is only war.

The tabletop paints a poor picture since it only depicts the most exciting battles between the big boys, which aren't that common. The vast majority of fighting in the imperium is against cultists or rebelling governors or small greenskin infestations or insignificant minor xenos, which the IG is perfectly suited for.

>And Imperium wont work with disgusting xenos.

Not true, the Smurfs have worked with the Tau before.

pshh...slow dumb mon'keigh...

*flips around elegantly*

>Stelfy kill

I fucking love the orks

You have to be adequate and lucky

Most planets remain pretty much untouched by any major conflict though. Some feral orks/local aliens to take care of with the PDF every so often but there are some worlds that are so good they are called paradise worlds for vacationing.

Why aren't there Orks who worship the Emperor and side with the Imperium?

like 90 percent of imperial planets have never been in danger, so most in the imperium of man will get by just fine without warp dickery/necrons/eldar.

>shittalking the IG

As Napoleon said, "Quantity is a quality in of itself"

Can you please pull your head out off that gaping ass so your intestines wont resamble an enlarged arm cast?
Dumb space elf.

Because as much as the Orks see the God Emperor of Mankind as some sort of strong, powerful being kind of like Gork and Mork, Gork and Mork are greener and thus superior.

There probably are but they're so rare and unspectacular in the grand scheme that they're probably not worth mentioning. Especially when orks are already known to do mercenary work with humans.

We're trying!

None of the games have done eldar well imo. In dawn of war games they tend to have some of the highest model bleed which is just fucking retarded. They die as often as IG in those games.

>Nerd as an insult
>In the internet
>On Sup Forums
>On Sup Forums
>ON A WARHAMMER THREAD

officially, the universe is large enough that literally everything has probably happened somewhere.

There's worlds where homosexuality is outlawed and worlds where it's the only law, or where aliens and humans kill each other and others where they live in peaceful coexistence. It's very much possible that there's some orks that think the Emperor is a pretty cool guy.

>Be Tau
>Invite necrons for a tea party

Cuse datz unorky ya dum git an any roight propa ork boy would stomp 'is stoopid teef in if 'e eva tried.
