Black Legion will be getting an 8th Edition codex.

Tactical Marines are awesome.

40K should have never made the standard game more than 1250 points, and models bigger than a Leman Russ shouldn’t be in the standard game.

They were broken anyway.

A lot of players seem to just ignore GW's lack of balance because they like the models enough to not care that the game is one of the worst designed games ever made.

Mono Grey Knights will be competitive post CA 2018.

The two missing Primarchs were women, and they were purged because they could breed more space marines. That would be a catastrophic loss of control for the Emperor, so a purging happened.

Btw I know this is nonsense but that's what my head canon is.

having them come back having completed 10,000 years of selective breeding to create more Primaris than Primaris HH sized Legions would be fun

I just contacted Guinness' Book of World records and they agreed to enshrine this comment as the most hyperbolic ever made. Congrats! *pops open bottle of sham pag nee*

Drukhari is a better name for the faction than Dark Eldar, which was about as lazy as it gets.

It's total nonsense! Some of us do it because we like the fluff...

Or at least past fluff.

I never thought I'd hear that.

Melee combat makes perfectly good sense.

Raptors aren't trash, consequently, the new Black Legion Raptor commander is not trash.

Wait, is this unpopular or obviously false opinions? I'm confused.

Onething123456 posts the most interesting threads on Dakka - interesting to read at least

I believe that close-quarters combat should not form the core element of lists. CQC units should provide support in form of skirmishing and interference. If I wanted to play a game about large blocks of soldiers fighting with swords, I'd have played Fantasy or some other medieval-based game.

Space Marine helmets are ugly as f***. At least they're not Terminators: tactical marine bodies look okay; there's nothing good about terminators.

Blu-tac is as good as magnets.

I think Astra Militarum are boring, and unimaginitive, and seem to be for people who take themselves far too seriously.
The game has a plethora of superhumans, aliens and mutants to chose from and some people still chose tanks, and dudes with rifles. May as well just play Bolt Action (a fine game) rather than mess about in a sci-fi universe.

I'd be happy to see the whole tedious faction to go the same way as their dimunitive cousins, the squats. It'd certainly help solve soup.

Gunline? I completely agree. Crazy bayonet wielding religious fanatics? Much more interesting.

Gunline ftw. And you can't have dudes with guns and tanks fighting all those aliens and mutants in power armor in a game like Bolt Action.

Ultramarines are probably one of the better conceived Chapters. Most of the hate against them is just sour grapes about how GW has overexposed the SM model range.

Bah, just what a dkok player would say! I just find ignoring entire phases to be boring.

Metal sisters of battle models are perfect as they are, and plastics are not required.

Primaris models look like a race of three-nosed long-legged xeno scum cosplaying as space marines and getting the details wrong.

Special Characters / Named Characters need to go back to being 'with opponents permission only' in (matched) games.

Well I do play Scions from time to time, too, so now I just ignore the CC phase

The entire painting/hobby portion of Citadel is a scam, Citadel paint sucks and the officially ordained workflow of "base, shade, layer" is a waste of time that only exists because GW needs an idiot-proof way to show people how to approximate the models on the box art even though their own studio painters don't typically use the same techniques or Citadel brand hobby supplies in many cases.

Non-UM Vanilla Marines need to get over their persecution complex. They are individually much better supported than most factions in this game.

A lot of Dakkanaughts should quit 40k for the benefit of their own mental health. Really all you're doing is stalking your Ex online.

Horus Heresy is done and needs to be let go by GW and the Player base.

Citadel Paints are thick wads of crap that only sell because of the massive amount of painting guides that can't be bothered to use another line of paint names

WHFB deserved what it got

True Line Of Sight needs to be completely purged. Model and Terrain height should be a stat based on base size or general model size and the whole thing should be abstracted like any game created after 2000A.D.

My most unpopular opinion amongst those that I currently play with is: Vehicles need firing arcs. Even simplistic ones would help

But what about the magical rotating malcador defender? Have you considered how it will suck not being able to fire 5 heavy bolters at a target by break dancing a tank?

Seconded, hell I even made my own.
