Today I had a 1500 point game with Space Marines against Genestealer cults, and I lose by a mere two victory points. Unlike all of my games nothing of statistic improbability happened but it was still fun

Some highlights
>Predator executioner blown up turn one, robbing me of most of my anti-tank
>Patriarch and genestealer bodyguards weren't relevant until turn 3 where they got a 6 on cult ambush to fucked shit up
>Magnus periled himself to death summoning
>I actually killed everything he summoned except for 5 genestealers
>Rifleman dreadnought did not die all game, despite walking in front of 3 lascannons and an autocannon to score 2 victory points, 11-13
>Warlord did not die, for once
>Sergeant Kickass almost killed the patriarch, but died before he could inflict any wounds
>The floor was not wiped with my army, and I ended the game with a decent number of models on the table
>A lone Genestealer Acolyte spent turns 2-5 running away, very entertainingly
The man of the game was my Chaplain dreadnought, pictured here missing an arm, who made a 9" charge to blow up a Leman Russ Vanquisher and then wiped out a squad sitting on an objective to score me a victory point, before dying.

Why do you say that?

Anyone have a codex for Raven Guard?

>>51567268
The main reason I would agree is that an Ethereal is more squishy and likely to give up a Victory point. Doubly so if it's your warlord.

I personally run a Cadre Fireblade as my HQ. Less of an area buff, but still cheap and less vulnerable.
>>
>>51567277
Stormsurge can push out 6 D shots per turn. Sure you need 6 markerlights to get any good out of them but still. Enough to annihilate almost any single target in this game with slight luck.

>>51567334
The only reason I can think of to get it is for Chaos conversions, and that really is because he's covered in swirls and spikes and they made him the size of a Daemon Prince.

Even his left arm is super reminiscent of a Helbrute.

We don't have any info on the gathering storm II formation yet do we? I have about 1500 points of DE and I'm not sure if I wanna spend money on the book, models and then get some craft world Eldar also.

>>51567366
I think he was taking about the model, because he thought you were worried about not being able to use 30k glaive-wielders for fear of fluff.

>>51567360
That would imply people take the piddly-range D shotgun.

You can give the whole mob FNP, Fearless and +1WS just with HQ additions. It also increases the effects of some Warlord traits like Infiltrate, rerolling 1's for units within 12" of Warlord, etc. Plus with Sanctic Daemonology you can give the whole unit a 6++ save and/or +2 Strength.

You can also charge multiple units in a single turn if you feel like it.

It's got a fair bit of hitting power thanks to up to 10 Power Klaw nobs hidden in it.

There's also the psychological warfare element. Laying down 100+ Orks in a single unit that spans the whole deployment zone can make some opponents worried. The Tide tends to soak up firepower, letting your other units like MANZ close the distance on the flanks.

That's not to say its the be all and end all. Being all one unit means the enemy can just focus their firepower on it, and there are some sickeningly good anti-horde weapons out there. It can also be effectively tarpitted by units like Bloodthirsters.

But if you want to use Boyz, it's really the only effective way to do it.
>>
>>51567411
Yeah. File off the kneepad, fix the shoulder pad, ditch the purity seals, give it whatever chaos head you want, and add spikes to taste.
>>
>>51567388

Ah. I was actually contemplating fluffing them as lightning claws. LC are specialists and glaives 2h so neither get the bonus attack, their both ap3, and I get shred instead of +1s and rending.

Have I been playing my melee wrong? I watched a batrep for nids vs tau and I see this guy in melee vs tau and the broadsides had like 4 melee strikes(basically 2 each). Is there anything that specifies that I get more than just 1 attack in melee? I dont exactly get how melee truly works other than I am supposed to lose every time
>>
>>51567552
It's the A under the profile of your units. Most battlesuits have 2 attacks, with some having 3.
>>
Does anyone have rules for Yncarne?
>>
>>51567574
so melee is actually based off of the assault. Oh I thought that only applied to my shots. Didnt realize that it was for ALL of my attacks. FYI I just started in december. So as long as it says assault 2 then I get 2 hits in melee? Now that is only if it says assault right?

>>51567672
It seems to make little difference in the grand scheme whether the the baseline dogmatic cultists or aberrant mutant cultists win. Though we've had more peace with the Emperor-cultists than the mutation cultists, we've had more war as well.
>>
>>51567797

so as a newbie it feels like 750 to 1000 points is the sweet spot for the game in many cases aside from trying to field a ton of units and huge faggotry. Would this be an OK observation?

Eh, Storm bolter Dominions wouldn't be the worst thing. Not as great as a melta squad, but they can keep their range more easily than regular bolters can.

Good for taking out cover-camping infantry blobs, for example. Also less need of a transport thanks to slightly longer range.

Give the Onagers the same weapon, drop the manipulator to make points if need be.

Other than that, looks pretty good. Some fags will tell you the arquebus isn't worth it, but while it's true it's the worst special weapon you get, it's far from worthless it also looks fucking baller

At one point he basically told Matt Root that since he modeled his Knight's Battle Cannon aiming down he couldn't draw LoS with it even though if it was modeled as normal there would be 0 question. Overall he just came off as a super competitive dick head - the kind of guy /tg/ thinks populates the top tables at a tournament.

No really.
I played 40k RPG, and have sort of admired tabletop, but have never got into it. Friend wants to play table top all day for his bachelor party. I want to be a bro, but don't really have time to learn enough to pick an army.

Could someone just throw together a 1000 point list for me that won't be embarrassing? They're going to let me proxy since I don't have shit. I was thinking Blood Angels? Would it be uncouth to just be generic marines? I don't really care, but played a blood angel in a long running rpg game.

Chaos marines 2k 2nd list.jpg
348KB, 900x1297px
What do you guys think of my 2k tourney list?

You have to subtract 15 points from the prince because he cant be a demon of a god. The other 210 points are for a chaos fire raptor with reaper autocannons.

The basic idea is the demonprince is going to be converted from robutt girlyman, and he will be attached to the terminators and the other chaos character from the lost and damned. With mindveil he wont need wings, and his unit will get to go with him. There are tons of units, so nobody is getting warlord till I am tabled. I have tried the alpha legion formation, but it is too restrictive to build a tough list, and +1 to bring a cult unit back is not such a huge deal. Turn one shrouded loss kind of hurts, but not as much as the restrictions it puts on you. And if I play GSC I can just bubblewrap everything instead of infiltrating my 13 units. Any glaring weaknesses you see?

Quick question /tg/.

I've got a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh who has the Lash of Despair, a weapon that is S (user) and 2d6 attacks with no AP value. However, the Prince is a monstrous creature with smash, so all his attacks have AP 2.

Do his lash attacks have AP 2, or is that only for attacks he makes with his bare hands?
>>
>>51569104

Is Lash a melee attack?

>Yes
Then Smash applies

Then Smash doesn't apply
>>

uts been a minute since i used a daemon prince

Is it ranged or a CCW?

You could try and make that argument, but Fall of Cadia defines how you can take those relics.

Friends
I want to add some Raven Guard allies to my Guard army. Should I take a Rhino or a Drop Pod? Recommendations if I want to also use it as a Kill Team from time to time?
>>
>>51569151

Yea, I know. That's why I said to add Celestine + Seraphim to bring the list to 1850. Otherwise, drop the relic, and make two squads of 4 SB+FnP.

By the way, that squad is only 90pts, which isn't that bad really.

What are some quick changes that can be made to GWs kill team to make retarded shit more balanced?

Grenades are an easy fix by making them one use only. I was thinking about also adding a Grenadier specialist that gets unlimited.

Hordes are harder, and I think the easiest way to do it would be to give all models reaping volley. Maybe use a Ld test and you get a target for each shot, but you have to chose the closest enemy model or something.

>inb4 HoR

I'm using it as a stepping stone to get new players, and I don't want to have to teach them HoR rules, then reteach them 40k rules.

If it's being used as a gun it counts as a gun.
A bolt pistol doesn't become strength 4 ap 5 when a guardsman uses it in close combat just because that's what its ranged stats are, and vice versa.

I want to build some choppy Tau. If I ally celestine in, my Shas'vre gets access to her relics. BRB says that when a melee weapon isn't specified, infantry is basically considered to automatically have a CCW.

When you go head first into a knight house homeplanet with Raven guard, white scars and all the catachans that survived surrounded by psychic mist that blocks your instruments tends to be a huge gamble just go trough it, let alone the ambush and gotta go fast chapters plus more knights than you can handle.

They are. Why do you think that is? Half the theories I've heard floating around say Kill The Emperor/Lords of Terra/shut down the astronomicon or whatever.

You know that whole plot point of the Dark Angels bending over backwards to find Fallen and kill them? It's precisely because they don't want that information to get out.

And if the Ultramarines knew about the Fallen, you'd bet your ass they'd be knocking on the Dangel's door to find out what the fuck is going on.

The rest of your theory is spot on.

Fellow Chaos fags, how do you feel about the new lore? I'm personally not sure what to think. I'm so used to us losing that I'm suspicious of the whole winning thing. I fear these early victories are only being written in order to give the "good guys" a reason to feel like their later victory matters. I can only hope that if/when the Crusade fails the Iron Warriors don't suffer catastrophic losses.

I don't think that Sang is on the throne, though that would be interesting, and the last part of the arc, at least my head canon. I still have a theory that the Golden Throne is actually keeping the emperor from becoming a God, and that the ultimate goal of chaos was to put him in the chair rather than kill him if the Echo couldn't drain him away.

>fights through the custodes
>arrives at the throne room

Attack on Terra part 2

add up the price of all the kits in the box and compare it to the price of the box and then make your own judgment because everyone has a different compass when it comes to value.

No, Orks already tried to all unite and attack the Imperium. They lost.

In fact they attacked the Imperium when it was weakened already, Orks would have no chance against an actual Imperium ready for a fight, it gets revealed that Orks are easy to kill anyway as long as you have nulls.

It pretty much says what is in angels blade (the decurion, new warlord traits, a couple other formations)

looking over the death company formation, it seems appealing if you want to field a list of purely death company (and Land Raiders with both Fast and Scout)

>>

>>51571493
yes, they are much greater models. Use them as counts as.
>>
>>51571483
Problem is that the people who use scouts tend to be those who just want to fill their cheap minimum troop choices and move on. That means at most, people are usually getting two scout squads.

At least they're in plastic, but those heads are really the biggest problem with the kit.
>>
>>51571457
they look a hell of a lot better than Chaos Scouts do.

>>51571516
I never got why Chaos didn't get scouts. Even in the sense of 'we ran out of power armor, here's some Carapace Berserkers' that were cheaper assault troops or something.

>>51571534
Originally the role of scouts was filled by Daemons, but since GW divorced them into two different codex the best they could replace them with was cultists, which is an awkward substitute at best (although it's fluffy as fuck)
>>
>>51571534

>>51571559

Cultists are garbage. They cost the same as a guardsman but have a worse save and have to pay extra to trade their pistol for a rifle

I wouldn't mind if traitor guard was folded into the CSM book though rather than being some pricy forgeworld exclusive

>>51571569
the black legion in traitor legions is slightly different IIRC (and kind of better) while wrath of magnus is just about the same, and equally as shit. Overall, none of the supplements actually fixed the core book.

angels blade contains 5 new power pools for your librarians, has updated profiles for your devs allowing them to take grav cannons and allows assault squads to be run without jetpacks as well as formations and the death company detachment.

check the FAQ for the update to scouts and dreads.

Cultists actually cost a point less than guardsmen. The difference is that they have to pay a 10 point tax for their Champ, just because he's got a chance to turn into a Daemon prince if he ever kills something.

I personally just want more weird options for Chaos units. Barechested Gladiator marines when?
>>
>>51571615
You're assuming guardsmen aren't 4 points.

Who's to say they're not 4ppm with a mandatory 10 point upgrade?
>>
So I found these on the Swedish equivalent to eBay, the seller calls them "MK8 Black Shields" and I've never seen them before, where are they from?
>>
>>51571633
this

Inquisitorial acolytes are 4ppm for a guard statline and 5+ save. Pay 1 point extra for a bolter and you have an actually pretty kickass light infantry than can take transports on top of all that.

meanwhile I'd be happy if CSM even had a medium infantry option at all. Cultists are so week as to be purely for objectives or as speed bumps.

>>51571741
how is it different? I want lightly armored scouts with shotguns not tacticool power armored marines squatting with bolters and way too many attachments to their weapon

I'm surprised RaptorAnon from the WIP threads doesn't have some of those. They put those ammo pouches on DREADNOUGHTS even

So with new Eldar bullshit you can:

> get first turn
> move close to enemy with already fast jetbikes, WK, scout+transport D-scythers and farseer on bike
> In psychic phase, throw fuckton of dices to get perils
> let farseer die
> whole army gets shooting/move/change due to soulshit
>Get another shooting/charge next

gg GW no re, you broke the game. Buffing eldar was that what we all needed.
>>
>>51571782
What

Where are you getting this?
>>
>>51571782
decline games against eldar and tau players, as well as gladius and skyhammer players
>>
>>51571777
they come with shotguns
But fair enough, just do some head swaps and they look a lot better.
>>
>>51571777
>>51571865
I had another thought, why they fuck are you playing space marines?
Play guard or something.
>>
>>51571805
It's the new soulburst rule for yannelly the elephant eldar.

When certain units die/when certain powers are cast their army is allowed to take a free action.
>>
>>51571886
This is great news for my Deldar

>>51571776
No one knows.

Cypher and Fallen have joined on the side of the Loyalists, take that how you will.

Is there a way to make this list good? I put the honour guard in to try to justify calgar's cost after his 7e nerfs but it probaby just makes it worse.

His morale rule was the main reason I got smurfs in the first place but maybe I should just wait til guilliman gets his model/stats before I figure it out.
>>
>>51571886

Are the Yvraine rules out?
>>
>>51571902
From the leaks, it doesn't affect units in transport so GTFO dark eldars, only CE gets another buff that they needed so much.

Fuck GW, i tought they started caring about community, seriously all people complain about bullshit eldar OP and they BUFFED them again? And in possible broken way.
>>
>>51571782
you only get one soulburst per turn (not player turn), and it's not the whole army unless you have them all in a 14" bubble.
>>
>>51571915
Cypher was always the most loyalist already though.
>>
>>51571972
does it say it specifically doesnt effect units in transports?

Why wouldnt it?
>>
>>51571990
I don't think it does, but I haven't read all of the leaked rules.
>>
>>51571973

Yeah but if this trick is possbile:
>>51571782

You can rape enemy in your first double-turn easly. Just move whole army as bubble, destroy oje unit with perils, dangerous terrain or other trick (unload transport when not all models can go etc.) and enjoy 24'+charge of WK, double D WG rampage, 6 milion s6 scatterspam double shooting etc.
>>
>>51571990
It doesnt say, so according to FAQ, you cannot measure distance to unit in transport to affect them by skill if skill doesnt specificaly says it affects transported units.

>>
>>51572014
even if that's true, the transport itself is still a unit and can still shoot again, which makes venom or raiders better
