Gee Vlad, why do you suppose those Marine players get defensive? It's not like they don't see over and over this kind of commentary from you, then from someone else, then from yet another and so on and so on. But yeah, it's the Marine Player's fault for choosing an army 20 years ago.

It is the most fun, when eldar players claim that all marines in one book is a good thing, but all eldar streamlined in to one would be the end of their hobby career.

This is a clear case of rules for thee and not for me. I wish I knew that w40k worked like that 3 years ago, I would have been more calm and not asked as many stupid questions.

This is a point I had to clarify with a Marine-playing friend: No one is blaming the median Marine player for the current utterly ridiculous state of Marines, or at least, no one sensible is doing so, because the situation sucks almost as much for them. We're blaming the company that can't write balanced rules for overpriced plastic spacemen.

Try it from our side of the fence.

or at least, no one sensible is doing so
is a lot less common than you think. Seriously, spend some time. Go through the threads. See how often you see "Marine Players" as part of a call to nerf Marines and the tone of the response that includes those words. Then apply some human nature and realize that's going to stick out more on top of its frequency.

The ATV is how old now? less than a week, barely 6 days? Someone already decided it had to be nerfed because it gets 6 bolter shots and 2 Melta shots for ~80 points. For the roughly the same points you can get 1.5 Attack bikes that get 6 bolter shots and 3 Melta shots. You can also get a Tornado with 6 Assault Cannon shots and 2 Multi Melta shots. How many games do you think the ATV has had so far? How much thought do you think went into complaining about it less than a week in while ignoring models with 20 years of history under their belts? How much of that thought was anything but "Its New, Its Marine, Nerf it"?

By the way cue the usual suspects about to come in here with some sort of "Such and such army would love to have ATVs" as if I'm saying they're bad, not that there's several roads to the same destination here, so why did this person only complain about the new one? Also some "Try comparing to something outside of the Marine Codex" and whatever else they can throw at the wall until it sticks regardless of the point being made. Next to no thought went into that complaint. It was entirely emotion. Instead of taking a beat to examine their own complaint, they doubled down on it by trying to move their complaint about the quality and quantity of shots to durability. The idea of a new Primaris Unit being a replacement for an old one in preparation of squatting the old marines isn't a new concept. How many complaints about the new unit compare it to the one(s) it's replacing right off the bat? This one certainly didn't.

Also Because certain people are screaming that any kind of critisicm about a unit in the game is a deeply personal attack on them as the self proclaimed represetative of every Marine player in the universe - because everyone hates him (and therefore them). Even the Marine players who dare to say that their own units might just have a broken unit - well they hate Breton, Marines and themselves - thats how mind numbingly stupid his constant victim rants are.

On moon miranda.

Hey everyone, let's get this thread back on discussing marines instead of complaining about each other Let's also keep in mind that sure, you may not want to hear about the Leafs from Bill, fair, but when you walk into Hockey bar after a Leafs game and try to talk to Bill, you're going to get what you get. While I can understand the feeling, you gotta remember the venue, this is an open internet discussion thread about marines and the changes to them, complaining about marines is not exactly forbidden or unexpected in such a context. Marines also aren't the only army to bear such stigma through the various editions Please play nice all!

The various Eldar subfactions don't share any units or rules so consolidating them into one book would make 0 sense.

The only crossover any of them have is that Harlequins have two shuriken weapons and a power sword like CWE and they all get Lightning Fast Reactions. That's literally it.

Meanwhile, the Marine consolidation was done because they were printing the exact same datasheets for units, weapons and stratagems in multiple different books which also meant these separate things had to be re-printed and constantly updated separately.

Well said.

As someone who plays virtually every army in the game I'm tired of people trying to make it out like Marine players are the bad guy, and that we deserve every nerf we get. I said it a few weeks ago that the attitude of people enjoying any Marine nerf because it's "deserved" is appalling. It's a game, stop being actively excited by the idea of an army you don't play losing something*.

And you're right - we can't know everything about the new units, and it is far too early in this book's life cycle to immediately judge everything as "broken" or whatever. Mathhammer isn't foolproof, and posting pages of long-winded equations whilst going "See???" isn't going to help anyone.

Nevermind foolproof, its not even attempted. 6 bolter shots and 2 Melta shots for ~80 points is broken and OP. Except it's fairly common, and both of the immediately obvious "competing" units for list space and job role actually do better. There was zero attempt to consider, it was pure knee-jerk reaction.

I don't think there's much interest in the melta ATV, because you can get the melta elsewhere. Its the onslaught version that's got everyone interested. Its potentially the replacement for aggressors.

For 80 points you are getting a vaguely silly package of dakka, resilience and speed. The only thing potentially holding it back is the lack of core.

Except people aren't comparing the ATV to other Marine units, they're comparing it to other armies equivalents. The fact that it's essentially a better Ork buggy while also being 20 points cheaper is what people have issues with.

Plus the Chief Apothecary interaction has still not been FAQ'd.

The ork buggy which directly compares to the melta ATV can jump all over the board though, which kind of is worth 20 points.
On the other hand, the SJD is one of the best ork units right now, so ATVs aren't going to be bad either.

I don't see them being OP though, at least unless there is some synergy I'm missing.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

All quantity turns in to quality at some point. Who knows maybe there are some crazy 30+ melta shots per turn builds no one tried yet, because no one physicaly owns the models.

That's what I thought! But no, when I pointed out regular bikes were getting Aggressor level firepower. 2 bikers per 40-50ish points, Rapid Fire 2 per bike, 8 shots. per 2 they specifically said it was the quality of shots and the Multimelta. I agree for Melta I'd do Attack Bikes or Tornadoes.

Marines are good but I wonder if people actually play the game outside their little bubble or see what happens at the events around the world. It is not only marines that have very good competetive lists filled with broken stuff. Sure marines may have more datasheets that are above the average but in 2000pts games it doesnt matter if your best 10k points beat any other factions best 10k points if the top 2k points in both armies are equally good.

Orks, custodes, sisters, ad mech, imperial soup, various chaos combinations and harlequins all seem to be quite fine at the moment. It is not like there are only marines able to compete. If everything marine was as broken as people here on dakka think the top half of any event would be pure marine lists. Even if no marine lists showed up they would still win it just by sitting on someones shelf at home.

Some armies do need some help since they are barely surviving but this marine bashing is getting rediculous.

Cant remember if it was this thread or another that someone says that Mek Gunz shouldnt be used in the discussions since they are expensive as hell and wouldnt be fair. It is a damn ork vehicle. Just take something out of your kitchen or raid your bitz box and put some paint on it if you dont want to pay full price. Or get some recast or toys. Úseless argument because if that was a legit one then no one could hate on eradicators. It is not that eradicators are expensive, you just cant actually go in to a store and even buy them. I am still waiting on my made to order boxes of Indomitus. So since people cant even get them they arent a problem. Ops, forgot, they are marines so ofc they are a problem. My bad.

I actually wish that marines werent getting so many damn rules all the time. I rather be a worse army than having to change stuff all the damn time to make my lists work. Just on Sanguinary Guard alone the best melee weapon loadout have in less than 12months been 4 different set ups due to rules changes. You need 5 each of swords, fists and axes for that but you only get a total of 6 weapons in the damn box. In the same time huge changes have been going on so Sanguinor, Lemartes, Astorath, Mephiston, Libby dread, Sanguinary Priest, JP librarian, phobos librarian, Dante, smash captains, captains and probably some more that have drastically changed in how good they are. As someone who came back to 40k last year and restarted almost completely from scratch with my BA I am so glad I put magnets on almost everything. If I glued stuff on things would change faster than the super glue could dry. Too bad Death Company is the only unit I did not put magnets on and now all those damn Bolter + Chain Sword guys arent a thing anymore. And right now I am venting here on dakka instead of painting the incursors in front of me that I need to paint up because last week my scouts stopped being troops. I should have picked up Tau or something..... Sure my army would suck but atleast it would be a bit more consistent in doing so.

My club mate who started ultramarines and 40k last year have all but given up on the game when he found out he needed to buy his third codex space marine in just a little over a year. He is mostly playing Middle Earth or Bolt Action now. I have ~50 Rivendell Elves ordered so will propably join him in middle earth.

But it's the "biker" keyword that makes it silly. Apothecary is the most obvious. Access to the Ravenwing 4++ on command (in combination with the Apothecary) is another one. Not bleeding Bring it Down Secondaries like Ork Buggies, Ridgerunners, etc.. .

If they were vehicles, they'd still be efficient little buggies, but the keyword change alone would kill a lot of abuse.
