Zog Off! Any ability that offers priority when you score objectives is going to win you games. Orks are a fantastic option and will continue to see results due to their mobility and redundancy. The T'au are known for their expertise with long-range weapons that can eliminate anything trying to make its way across the table.
They're so good at it, you don't want to do much else. With this, the T'au may struggle in Ninth Edition with the point increase on Shield Drones that damages the most successful builds. In addition, the missions in Ninth Edition focus on being able to push forward and take enemy side objectives - which is unfavourable for shooting armies.
However, the T'au can reach those objectives ahead of most other armies due to their movement, meaning you can at least prepare for the incoming assault. Despite falling out of favour, the T'au remain a suitable option and will need to adapt to reflect the new update.
You'll still want Riptides and Drones, but pushing towards a Farsight build will yield better results. Slanting towards an aggressive strategy will ensure you can keep those objectives and rack up primary points.
Although the update did little to improve the Tau, you can still shoot everything in sight and promote the Greater Good. You can play whatever army you like in Warhammer 40, and have a good time. Indomitus is a beginner-friendly release and does a marvellous job of giving you a footing into such a broad franchise. The latest update grants freedom and creativity when it comes to planning lists, allowing you to play the game how you want.
It's easy to fall into a competitive mindset, but there is nothing wrong in taking the fun and flavourful approach instead. Looking ahead, future updates could yield a different route that could shift the metagame and playing habits once more. There is something for everyone, and if there is a situation where your army falls out of favour, then it gives you a fantastic excuse to start over with a new one.

Read our editorial policy. Image: Games Workshop Space Marines grew more diverse with the recent supplements, with each chapter presenting a different playstyle. They are barely a footnote in the big scheme of things. They WILL be destroyed by a hive fleet or even a large ork waargh. They are a single flickering candle of hope in a galaxy of darkness, that can only be snuffed out. You know Tau are probably the most enlightened species in the 40k universe right? They are not just nerds. They are the most spiritually elite.

Astra Militarum Imperial Guard In a galaxy full of seven-foot-tall giants in power armor, transdimensional berserker demons, and Egyptian cyborg skeletons, the Imperial Guard is a bunch of average Joes with rifles, bayonets, and a dream: to drown the enemy in a sea of their broken, bloody bodies.
Adeptus Astartes Space Marines Space Marines are what happen when you cross a human with an adult polar bear and slap it in power armor. Adeptus Mechanicus Machine Priests The Adeptus Mechanicus are a cult of pseudo-religious technophiles who worship the Machine God and hang out on big Forge Worlds scattered across the galaxy, cranking out machinery and weapons for the Imperium.
Heretic Astartes Chaos Space Marines Only one force in this universe is badass enough to withstand 10, years of continuous, no-holds-barred warfare against the Space Marines: Chaos Space Marines, also known as the Heretic Astartes or Traitor Legions. Aeldari, Drukhari, and Ynnari The Eldar Eldar are for the kind of person who sympathizes with the graceful, sorrowful elves in Lord of the Rings more than the dirt-covered humans—the sort of cultured sci-fi wargamer who gazes in disdain at armies clad in chunky power armor and prefers more precision and beauty in their faction.
Orks Orks are the lovable, incredibly violent cockney ragamuffins of the 40K universe. Tyranids If you want to land on my personal Shit List forever, go ahead and play Tyranids. Like this: Like Loading Tags aledari chaos eldar games workshop hobby imperium necron orks space marines Space Opera Tabletop tabletop gaming tau tyranids wargaming Warhammer Warhammer 40K. Beep boop, praise the Omniscia. In Warhammer 40k you have a ton of different armies. They can roughly be divided into 4 big chunks:.
The Space Marines are monastic orders of genetically enhanced superhumans fighting to defend humanity. They have been the flagship army of Warhammer 40, since the beginning of the game, and there is rarely and expansion or update in the game without some sort of update for these guys. When it comes to playing the game, Space Marines are actually fairly complex: They have a bonus that protects them from suffering too many casualties in the Morale Phase, a lot of cases where specific circumstances let them shoot better with their boltguns , and a rule called Combat Doctrines which gives them different bonuses in each round of a game.
That might sound simple enough, but if you add all the rules of the various Space Marine subfactions to that, as well as the fact that there are more different units and characters for Space Marines than for any other army, it can be very difficult to figure out the optimal army list for the army. If you like the look of the big bulky marines, go for them! The Space Marines have a brand new codex available that fully incorporates the new 9th edition rules, and has rules for all models currently playable in the army.
Codex: Space Marines is the book you need. This is because there are many different versions of Space Marines, so unless you want to play one of the ones covered in the general Space Marine Codex. This is of course due to the fact that the army has been around for so long, and has had so many updates. The most important thing to know about miniature quality and what is up to date in the Space Marines Range is all about the word Primaris : A couple of years ago, the Ultramarines Primarch returned from a The Primaris Space Marines are taller and stronger than regular space marines, and are seen by some as the best the Imperium has to offer, and by others as something close to heresy because of all their technological innovations.
This had the unfortunate consequence that older Space Marine miniatures were starting to look like strange diminutive figures compared to some other recent figures, while still holding immense sentimental value to people who had collected the army for most of their lives. In reality, the Primaris Space Marines have all but replaced the classic marines now, so as a new player with no nostalgic ties to the old stuff, you might as well only use Primaris Marines for your army, as they all look better together scale-wise, and are also mostly better in the game with a few exceptions.
I consider it very unlikely that GW will ever release any marines that are not Primaris again and if they could without the biggest outcry from fans, they would phase the old models out completely. That being said, even if you only go for Primaris Marines, there are still so many options: the army has close combat specialists such as the Bladeguard Veterans , snipers such as the Eliminators , massive mechs such as the Redemptor Dreadnoughts , a whole array of different Troops types, as well as a ton of different characters.
The Space Marines have at least a couple of options for almost any role in the game, and more are added every year. The most recent addition to the game has been the close combat Troops called Assault Intercessors, the Bladeguard Veterans, the meltagun-carrying Eradicators, the motorbike-riding Outriders and even an ATV with a gun mounted on top as well as a few more.
These generally encourage a fast assault style, but you can also play the army defensively, stealthily or a combination of those. Since Space Marines are the flagship faction for the game, there are a ton of ways to get started with them.
The recent starter sets for 9th Edition all include a contingent of Space Marines, such as the Command Edition.
You could of course split the set with one of your friends or sell off the Necron stuff , which is a super common thing to do. Luckily, you have other options: The Start Collecting! You can create your own custom Chapter, but it will usually be a successor to one of the standard Chapters, which have their own extra rules, special characters and units, as well as color schemes.
You may have noticed that most images of Space Marines you see in Games Workshop marketing and box art are painted blue with gold trim. The Ultramarines are the pillars of civilization within the Space Marines: Their homeworld sector is almost an Imperium within the Imperium, carefully planned and protected, and home to some of the most manageable standards of living for humans in the galaxy.
At the moment, the Ultramarines are also the only Space Marine chapter able to field their Primarch ancestor leader in battle: Roboute Guilliman see the image above is a massive warrior and the de facto leader of the military efforts of all of humanity at the moment, and also an amazing painting project if you want to field him in your army. In short, Ultramarines are basically Space Ancient Romans or Space Ancient Greeks, and even though veterans of the game will call them boring or vanilla Marines, they are a good place to start if you want to feel like your army is part of the ongoing story of Warhammer 40, They do have a really nice Imperial Fists Primaris Upgrades and Transfers pack available with some cool power fists for your Imperial Fists sergeants as you have probably figured out by now, they have a whole fist theme going on.
An important thing to note about the Imperial Fists is that they are the forefathers of two of the most popular Successor Chapters in the range: The Crimson Fists and the Black Templars. The Crimson Fists are blue with you guessed it red fists, and have a rich history of iconic artwork made for Warhammer 40, publications, so you may run into veteran players who are very fond of them.
The Black Templars are an eternally crusading force of Space Marines in black, white and red, and they have quite a few specific pre-Primaris miniatures available to them. For beginners, they also have the great advantage of being the only Space Marine Chapter to have all their rules available in the Warhammer 40, app without the user having to buy any codexes.
They are currently a very up to date chapter, since they have both a Codex Supplement: Dark Angels available with all the rules they need in addition to the Codex: Space Marines , and a dedicated Combat Patrol: Dark Angels box available with all the units, upgrade bits and transfers needed to field a Combat Patrol-level army of Dark Angels Space Marines. In addition to all this, the Dark Angels also have some interesting special units such as the Deathwing Knights or their Ravenwing flyers.
The Blood Angels, clad almost entirely in red, are also a very up to date Chapter. They are especially known for their cursed bloodline, which means they are always at risk of succumbing to a raging madness, so that those inflicted by it are sent to seek swift death on the battlefield in a Death Company before they are completely consumed by the rage.
The Iron Hands are clad in all black, and are easily recognisable by their mechanical arms, as they practice the art of perfection through replacing body parts with mechanical implants, as you can see on Iron Father Feirros on the image above this paragraph. They are a very up to date army with a newly released Codex Supplement: Space Wolves and a Combat Patrol: Space Wolves box available to help you build a Combat Patrol force and play it with all the additional rules you need.
The White Scars, clad in almost all white with red trim, are masters of fast assaults, often on armed motorbikes such as the Outriders. They have a distinct medieval Mongolian vibe to their aesthetic, with curved swords and chainswords, shaved heads with locks of black hair, and some horse and eagle iconography as you can see on their leader Kor-Sarro Khan above who sadly seems to be out of production at the moment of writing this article.
They do have a White Scars Primaris Upgrades and Transfers pack available with a couple of cool curved chainswords. They currently do not have an updated Codex Supplement, so you can just use the Codex: Space Marines rules found for them in that book. You might want to wait until they get their 9th edition upgrade. They specialise in hunting down aliens called xenos in the Warhammer 40, universe. They are currently a very up to date army, with a Codex Supplement: Deathwatch available with all the rules you need in addition to the Codex: Space Marines, and a Combat Patrol: Deathwatch box to help you easily build a Combat Patrol-sized Deathwatch force.
One of the coolest things about the Deathwatch is their ability to field Kill Teams: Mixed units of different types of Space Marines from different combat roles or chapters. You can buy some boxes of non-Primaris Kill Teams, such as the Kill Team Cassius , which are full of miniatures that still look great if a bit small , or you can build your own Kill Teams from various Primaris units.
So in that regards they are very different from all other brands of Space Marines out there. Instead, they have their own range of generally good quality silver-clad psychic warriors who hunt the worst horrors of Chaos.
