>>52333766
Kind of, but that's only half of it. You want a bulk of Ultramarines to take advantage of his command bonuses, but you'll also want a Geomancy psyker to lift up the ruins they're all parked in so you can advance Rowboat and your army forward at once.

>>52333786
Assuming you haven't bought yet and aren't super desperate for something to paint, I'd say just hold off until we know where things are gonna land.

Any list you build now may wind up entirely different in a couple months.

>>52333791
How many of the grognards super bothered by this were the ones to pay for their models painted anyway, outside a few WAAC fags that didn't wanna look like they just bought the new hotness?

>>52333780
Thats why I said Death Guard not Mortarion

>>52333849
Fair enough, the only models I don't have are the bikes. (I have some from dark vengeance but they aren't painted)

I would really like to get to play soon though, I have been trying to forever.

I'll make something with what I have.

How long until people get an idea on 8e?

I am making a harlequin and dark eldar ynari army with a lot of deep striking. Should I add a autarch (my only craftworld eldar) for reserve manipulation? I am thinking about giving him a jetbike laser lance and banshee mask and having him lead a bunch of khymera.

Welp, looks like I'm taking a trip to the library then.

For a little context I've been wanting to start space marines for a while and thought I might as well get Guilliman. For me starting out, it's nice to have a cheap (plan on selling Voldus and Cypher off [they might have neat models but I wouldn't benefit from having them that much]) way to fill in 350 points worth of list. So in essence I'm just starting off collecting Space Marines and am trying to figure out what to get.


p.s. As said a gun line would probably be better, but independent of that how are Stormtalons? I personally find them rather cool (I know I probably don't speak for a lot of people there).

Stormtalons can operate pretty independently. In my experience they tent to be pretty good at supporting your army by taking out some of the harder targets the enemy might have. I've seen one take out my landraider before by immobilizing it in a bad spot.

Aside from that, the key thing to keep in mind with Guilliman is that he's slow. A Librarian using Fulmination or Geomancy has psychic powers that can make up for that. Depending on your meta though, you may not need to go that far.

The thing to keep in mind with any sort of gunline with it is that Guilliman's main benefits are a 12" bubble. That's a lot of space you can cover, and it doesn't all need to be clumped up and stationary. You can have Devastators hang back while Guilliman moves forward with tacticals or other units.

>>52333992
Except Eldar are probably going to end up having 9" movement by default, so they'll be even more impossible to charge.

Plus, all the WAAC Eldar use things like jetbikes, Scythe Wraithguard, Wraithknights, and Warp Spiders that won't ever be charged anyway.

This hurts Tyranids (specifically genestealers), Dark Eldar, and Slaanesh units far more, since those are actual close combat units that rely on high initiative to get anything done.

I play Carcharodons. They've gotten really popular lately. I guess everyone likes them because of their brutality and edgy lore and their character's Xzibit weapons, but the reason I picked them is a lot dumber and simpler: their black shoulders and white mouthplates looked good and had high contrast. They also are more melee based.

They usually don't do too well but if Tyberos gets activated and manages to charge something again, he will wreck face. I've taken out multiple Knights and Riptides with a Blood Hunger activated Tyberos if they fail one too many invuln saves.

When they released the Leviathan Dreadnought I wept with joy because he is literally Tyberos in Dreadnought form, even including the uncontrollable berserker movement.

>>52334446

Games with Imperial Knights go one of three ways

>Opponent has well-rounded army with very little anti-tank
>Stomp and blast across the table as they can't take out 5 superheavy walkers with their list

>Opponent has a very swarmy list focused on objectives
>Army hides in cover from knights all game and just slowly builds up points thanks to objective secured

>Opponent knows you're taking knights, makes sure every unit in his army can do something against them
>Lose, because the list has enough anti-tank to kill you

It's a very coin-flip way of playing. Either your opponent has enough anti-tank and will murder your handful of models, or they don't and they have to struggle to hold onto objectives.

>>52334459

They aren't as broken strong, but if your army isn't prepared for them you have no way of damaging/killing them while they do decent amount of damage to you back, every turn, without taking any casualties. Each game your army gets smaller and smaller while their 3-5 Knights continue to stomp around.

The trade off is they automatically lose to anti-vehicle armies like Sisters of Battle.

>>52334454
That list seems fine. Not an optimized tourney list by any means, but you should do fine in friendly games. The extra Devastator Marines are the first thing I'd drop for something else if you're looking to make changes.

>>52334446
Why do people buy random shit instead of focusing on 1 army

>>52334567
Because there's lots of cool stuff in this game.

I have a similar problem of starting new armies, though I at least aim to get them at 1000 points for a solid force before I move onto something else.

>>52334565
I don't want it to be a tourney list, just want to be as viable as I can be without sacrificing using IF, and using units I like.

If I dropped the extra devs what should I add?

>>52334459
I don't know how you'd walk into a LGS with 5 Knights and keep a straight face.

The awkwardness when you find a game and start unloading your shit will cause some to leave, most to not try the entire game, and the rest will quickly list tailor

My AdMech dudes are Archmagos Tolra Darus and his chucklefucks from Aldris VII

They're a Forge World tasked with restoring and prototyping any reclaimed blueprints for Mars and their allied Forge Worlds. They're also surrounded by several systems full of Orks that have been in a constant siege with their World, only able to survive for that long by getting to test the ancient tech they're working on against the poor Orks. Due to that long-ass time of surviving, the Orks have turned to the habit of acknowledging that "Da metal boyz fix everyfing" and made it a competition to try and challenge them. Because of that sentiment, the Orks are directly influencing the research and development Aldris VII does, actually helping them (unknowingly to both sides) with their prototypes. The catch is, due to the Ork influence 'fixing' things after basically just slapping some screws into a metal box, these prototypes work wonders on-planet but, as soon as they leave system for Mars, fall apart. Since Darus has no idea that the prototypes themselves never worked to begin with, he's constantly suspecting Ork sabotage mid-flight and has serious anger problems towards them for always messing with his work and preventing him from getting a promotion and enough support to clean the sector of Orks. That has gone far enough to now have him go to the field himself and challenge any Ork Warboss setting foot on the planet to smash their heads in with his Power Mace.

>How does one even shut down a tomb world?
Well, I do remember this one time a Necron Lord gave an Ork Warboss 30 Necron Doomsday Cannon Barges (aka Black hole cannon) as payment to leave his Tomb World alone.

Unfortunately, the moment said Warboss's Mekboys cracked open those cannons, the whole planet went bye-bye.

Does that count as shutting down a Tomb World? Could be wrong on the world Orks imploded via miniature black hole, but it's been a long time since I've seen that piece of lore...

>>52334589

He's talking about this thing, which is a Forgeworld only model, but is pretty good and is indeed exactly 60 points. It's a good option.

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Horus_Heresy/RapierQuadMortar40k.pdf

If you want a normal plastic alternative you might consider spending the points on a Razorback for your Devs or a Landspeeder of some sort.

>>52334710
Sounds like a pretty cool idea and awesomely edgy paint scheme.

Just make sure there's something to make the scheme *pop* a bit. Lava bases and dark red/black models might be a bit too much dark once the army has grown a bit. Something simple like making the base's red/orange parts really shine and not just red lines on black ground.

My guess is the Lord just wanted to be left alone and bet on the idea the Meks would start tinkering with their new toys AFTER they left his Tomb World...

>>52334521

I groan, too, and it's my shit. Don't worry.

I want to go ahead and really make headway, but I just, I don't know. Right now, I can't decide which I want to work on more, and then I just sort of evade the whole thing until shit just piles up over time.

>>52334567

My main army is more or less on hold because I literally can't get the shit I need from GW because they grossly underestimate the popularity of Sisters. I can easily run 2000 points because I've been playing them for 10 years, but I need a few more immolators to round things out properly.

I wanted to do a side army and you know, work with fucking plastic for a change, and couldn't decide. I slowly built up a bit of both after getting various deals and have 2 piles of shit.

I honestly don't know which I want to work on more. I'm thinking Deldar, partially because I wanted to play them in 5th but didn't have the money, and partially because I have the transports and shit. The problem is wyches really are just terrible, and of course I don't have the weapons I need because you only get one of each per kabalite/scourge box.

So my freshly minted Scion army is going straight in the trash or will 8th edition not fuck that up?

>>52334825
Rad guns are way better. Each of them wounds as much as a Bolter does on average while also having the chance to wound ANYTHING. Enough of them can kill everything in the game no matter the toughness. Their toughness-reduction rule also is a huge help against melee attackers and evens the playingfield. Being 10 points cheaper to boot, it's barely a competition.

Do keep in mind that 18" range is very short, so having only Vanguards is sub-optimal, even with Crusader. Keep a Ranger squad or two around for good measure and to cap objectives. 30" Boltguns are nice to have. Also, avoid the Arquebus. It's sadly a very bad weapon.

>>52334887

Brotherhood of NOD themed Scions army. A secretive Schola from a ashen nuclear winter world covered in a strange but incredibly valuablr green crystalline resource that venerates their now long vanished prophet who foretold the coming of the Emperor. Who they believe will come again in the great cataclysm that will come to man. They focus on fast guerrilla style ambushes using elite troops while the rank and file crash upon the enemy in an endless Hellrain. The Commissars known as Confessors ensure loyalty to their prophet and the Emperor by ensuring that fanatical devotion brings fury to the enemies of the Brotherhood.

>>52334887
It will probably be just fine. They are recent models, there is no way they'll just get rid of them. The worst that could happen is that you're consolidated into the Guard codex along with other T3 hummies and it will be some sort of humanity codex and you have the option to take a pure Scion army within.

The morale differences don't mess with Scions much. After all, Scions are all about small 5 man squads doing one thing, then dying.

Again, I think either of those is good enough for friendly games. It would probably be more instructive for you to just play with the models you've got so you can learn yourself through firsthand experience.

>>52335014
I like them, I'm just mad Tauroxs were an unnecessary addition. If they were open topped, or at least the normal ones were, they would be great. Shotgun vet squads being able to assault out would be amazing. It would make Straken and 3 Bullgryn with a Priest pretty okay assault units too if they were open topped.

Instead they are not open topped and very okay.

I think they're just too tall. For as boxy as most things in the game are, most of them are pretty wide or flat.

>>52335055
Fair enough

>>52335004
Yeah, Start Collecting + Skitarii squad is a good idea and gives a ton of stuff.

I'd personally hold off on the Codex, since 8e is right around the corner and they'll most likely be rolled together in some capacity with Cult Mechanicus.

>>52335091
Yeah, the Goliath's a good example of what I mean. It's wider and closer to the ground than the Taurox, which helps it look stable. The large towers and platforms on the back don't look as out of place and huge on it, and even then it has the perfect explanation since it's a repurposed mining truck, not a military transport.

The Taurox just has a massively tall profile and feels like it'll tip over at the slightest bump.

I'm a relatively new player (I joined the hobby in August 2016), and was wondering if you guys would mind explaining how the rules changes might affect my army.

I play as the Black Templars, and prefer to play fluffy/casual games. My list reflects this, containing multiple large melee focused crusader squads.

Given what we know so far, how 8th likely to affect my army?

>>52335014

I think the conversion kits (4x4, 6x6, or Half-Track) go a long way to improving them significantly. They do ride high but it's also a MRAP knockoff.

>>52335151
The simple fact is we don't know. Nobody knows how much is going to change in 8e. The only things we've seen are a couple of IDEAS for new rules. You'll just have to wait and see.

You shouldn't worry though. Everyone is going to get affected to some extent, but odds are if you prefer fluff/casual play, you'll be much better off anyways.

>"WAAAH GW I CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME SO YOU SHOULD CHANGE IT SO THAT I CAN!" - ADD faggots
>"Yes, this is a good idea" - GW

>>52335151
Hard to say exactly. The good news for you is that GW has always tried to be nice to Marine players and their rules are quickly updated to work well with a new edition. I wouldn't worry too much.

>>52334459
Oh, hello! Wanna play a game? I brought a balanced 2000 points of equal parts infantry, tanks, and flyers and an approximately equal amount of anti-infantry, and anti-tank; and some anti air!

Okay! Here's my army: 5 mini-titans with AV13 armor. Half your army now exists only to be stepped on by my guys. Happy fun time!

I have this old list that got shat on, but it's units that I have. Think this will be good enough to learn with? I like the fluff of the formation.

>>52335151
No idea how we will fare. Though given that they said Chargers will go first in combat, combined with the changed morale rules, will be a pretty big benefit for our 20-man blobs.

As long as they don't outright drop Black Templars as a whole (which I wouldn't be surprised by considering how much GW shafted them these past years), things should probably improve quite a bit for fluffy Templars lists.

>>52335151
The answer to your question is since you play light and fluffy games, new edition will have zero effect on you as has always been the case with past edition changes.

The new morale rules will punish Black Templars for getting to use their chapter tactics. If neophytes die to overwatch like you want them to so you get rage, you'll have to add those deaths to the running total for the entire turn to see if more dudes from your squad just get removed.

On the other hand, you won't have 20-man blobs dart back and forth near your table edge because some Neophytes died.

It's a two-edged sword, really. Will be easier to get into combat but harder to survive.

Good thing we have our hero Grimaldus to keep Morale high and extra saves available for those kinds of army constellations.

Anyone have an epub of Fire Caste? I couldn't find one on any of the Megas.

>>52335315
They even admitted to the mistake on fb.

Just got back into it less than two weeks ago and I already bought start collecting sets for SM and Skitarii, an SM drop pod squad, a triumvirate of the Imperium, canoness veridyan, a squad of sisters of silence vigilators, and the age of sigmar starter kit

I'm gonna be going hungry the month that GW puts plastic sisters up for pre-order, that's for damn sure

>>52335281
Hey, anon who asked about how 8th edition will affect Templars here.

I did look at how morale is probably going to work, and your prediction did cross my mind.

I imagine that, if they keep Chapter Tactics, they will probably make it so that the Templars aren't as badly affected by model losses.

Of course, they might just completely fuck us over.

>>52335365
The starter kits are pretty good deals.

Speaking of good 'ol Chaplain (metal as fuck) Grimaldus, I really hope that he gets a new model in the Ghaskgull campaign that's been hinted at.

At least the Sisters would be alive and could potentially kill their way out of being a 'Digga Wife' as opposed to being FUCKING BLOOD RUNE PAINT BECAUSE REASONS.

I love that story because of how much it triggers faggots. Nobody would blink an eye if they used the blood of male priests, loyal marines, or the most grimdark option: their own GK comrades like that scene from Aliens 4.

But no because it's SoB that's an outrage. Look how much the SJW cancer has infected you faggots. The grimdark doesn't care how downtrodden you are. It can always get worse, SoB included.

>>52335636

It's not that it happened to Sisters, it's that it makes no fucking sense.

Eldar get fucked over regularly in the fluff. Avatars of Khaine get shafted regularly, in order to make whatever new character look more badass. Orks, too. And Raven Guard. And Iron Hands. And Lamenters.

But the Sisters of Battle got shat on for no reason. It didn't make for an interesting story, and it didn't make sense even within the Codex. You could have replaced the SoB with another Space Marine chapter, or even an IG regiment, and it would have been just as baffling.

>>52335674

What always bothered me about the original is that it's a Blood Angel by the looks of the shoulder pad when obviously it would normally be a Black Templar to be fuckbuddies with a Sister.

>>52335572
Yeah, Grimaldus needs a rule upgrade. Going off of the issues you mentioned, and the his inability to take along his servitors when joining a unit that I mentioned, I'd recommend the following:
- make his Crozius a relic with its own profile
- give him artificer armor

For his servitors, there's multiple ways one could go about it:

1. Let him take along his servitors when he joins a unit
2. Don't have him and his servitors constitute a unit. Essentially, have all of them count as their own independent character as far as movement goes. Let Grimaldus, and each of his servitors go their separate ways and join a unit. By spreading the servitors around, the buffs they provide could easily affect multiple units distributed around the map.

If they above changes are implemented, his point cost should only suffer a minor increase at the most.

>>52335686

as much as I love the idea of my templars shacking up with some hot sororitas babes, they actually kind of hate each other in the lore.

templars despise the inquisition and the ecclesiarchy, sisters are the personal army of the ecclesiarchy, theres a few incidents with some bad blood involving templars not giving a fuck about the sisters and blowing up a cathedral or two, killing a few thousand of them etc

>>52335737
Did you forget that Grey Knights have never fallen to Chaos? Why not use them, or just have the sisters help you in the more sensible way of shooting guns at things, seeing as some of them were immune to the chaos effects going on from faith alone.

Yeah, he's 195 with his 3 Servitors already anyway. 200-250 points for potentially army-wide FnP, a Chaplain with the Rechlusiarch Command Squad ability, artificer armor and a decent Crozius (even something like making its AP 1 point better or something more interesting like preventing Battleshocks if he is part of a unit killing a unit would be way enough) doesn't seem like asking too much. Maybe even add a rule that increases the FnP to a 4+ if all Servitors are part of the same unit.

>>52335765
Templars and Sisters are pretty alright these days, actually. They absolutely revere Celestine in Gathering Storm and are perfectly fine working with SoB most of the time.

Well that's how AAA companies works

So, for MY DUDES, I'm making my Kabal lead by 2 Archons. Long story short, the family has always had twins as children since even before the fall, whether by natural or unnatural means(read: Haemonculus fuckery). When it's the unnatural way, the soul is shared by both children, hence the name of the kabal. The Kabal of the Torn Soul. Anyway, I'm trying to develop a ruleset for my Archons to use vs my friend's custom SM chapter with custom supplement(and possibly our other friends if they get their asses to working on their own fluff). I wrote them in as brother and sister. The brother uses an Agonizer(possibly improved into a custom one) and the sister has a blade(can be venom,power, void sabre, etc) and both are modeled with pistols.

So far some brainstormed ideas are:
>2 units acting as 1
They are considered 1 unit, but 2 models
>Either a shared wound pool or each has X amount of wounds and losing a wound on either causes a wound on the opposite
>ability to multi charge without losing attacks on the charge
>Counts as 1 model for transport purposes

Anyone care to offer some suggestions that could spark my imagination?

Thanks for the reply! I was wondering at first if it was glazed or a metallic blue paint. Sure makes a nice spot color.

I've been trying out the glazing method for my Alpha Legion though I seem to be getting better results with Vallejo Transparent Blue + Green compared to Guilliman Blue + Waywatcher Green which I used previously.

Remove "Counts as one model for transport purposes" because that makes no sense. Does being twins mean they somehow violate physics?

The unit could be two Archons each with double wound count, but each time one gets hurt so does the other. For almost all other intents and purposes they are 2 different independent characters that can join different squads. But they get bonuses for combo-ing attacks.

If they or their units both shoot the same target, they twin-link.
If they or their units both melee a target, they can reroll all failed to wound rolls
One archon can shoot an enemy engaged in close combat with the other archon
One archon's unit can provide overwatch for the other

Most ebay shit really is just shit though.

A bunch of sprues for an army you don't play is worthless

And the kind of trash people put up (especially if tagged 'pro painted') needs such effort in striping or rebuilding it's probably better to just buy a fresh box

Stop hoarding minis you'll never use

>>52336036
Didn't miss much, there was nothing to cry about so there's less to say I guess.

Personally I liked the look of things so much I might finally give in and go death guard.

How do people feel about cultist/ zombie mobs? I've always played fairly low model count stuff but it sounds fun to model at the very least.

In the middle of starting the game with necrons, been working with lists for a few days and came up with this, any ideas/ criticisms are welcome (only own the barge so far, so not worried about dropping models)

999pts
Reclamation 679 pts

Catacomb barge 135 (190)

Probably the result of using Vallejo Thinner instead of Glaze Medium to thin down the Transparent Blue/Green. I'll try the same colors with glaze medium next time.

>>52335927
This is a nerf to most melee races you dumbfuck.

Melee races other than Orks already have high initiative.

Getting a squad of Tartaros terminators as my LC anti-horde unit. Heavy flamer seems like an obvious choice for the role, but is the reaper autocannon worth using?

>>52335679
That's because big stompy robots are cool to anyone whole didn't take an engineering course. But if you can find another player with that many knights, then by all means have a giant robot battle.

Just, you know, don't take them against regular armies.

>>52335692
You can take them in platoons if your willing to play foot-guard.

Or perhaps lascannons and a fuckload of rending rank-firing lasguns! And because you enemy probably brought lots of high AP, low shot count weapons anticipating tanks he's gunna be very screwed!

Problems:
Buying that much infantry

Orks are a dakka race, it just so happens that the game is not tailored to make them excel at it.

>>52333715
I hope we still get a variety of powers. The Sigmar "one cast per spell across the entire army" rule is stupid, but it's not too bad when you have access to a wide variety of spells. It's straight retarded when the majority of your casters only have access to the same two spells.

As a Tzeentch Daemons/Thousand Sons player, I'll be happy with Sigmar style magic, as long as we get Tzeentch Arcanites-tier spell access at release.

>>52336420
They are, but I would have rather they had all died as cheap bodies in battle against Daemons rather than being wasted for literally nothing.

>>52336456
I mean, Dakkajets are TL BS3 S6 AP4.

Khorne Knights pls go

So i stand to purchase a small skitarii force. 30ish rangers/alphas, an onager, 2 ironstriders. I've mathed it out and it ends up being about 800 points, mas o menos. I'm thinking about running that detachment alongside a sizeable stormtrooper company (about 40, some retro, some kasrkin, some new) that specialize in derpstrike. That brings me too a cool 1600 points. What's a good formation to bring along to round out to 2k? I have some 30k mech, thallax and robots, but is it frowned upon to include taghmata forces in a 40k list, assuming i follow the foc restrictions? My other idea is maybe a Ravenwing detachment to add mobility and toughness to the list.

>>52336413
I'll keep that in mind for the next time I take a crack at it. Thanks!

Theyre not going to put that death from the skies horseshit into the new edition right

Have anyone Flesh Tearers codex?

>>52336538
Probably not since they seem to be trying to simplify and streamline the rules in the new edition.

But you never know, they might go full retard simplifying the things that don't need to be simplified like Morale while leaving in all the overcomplicated bloat shit.

So, just how bad ARE Hellions?

This list generates 14 drones per turn, and the pirhanas cannot be killed and refit every turn. It is the douche list of meta. It is cheap. I can do this all day.

Man, I wish Peltast Alphas would be eligible to all 6 Warlord traits from the Skitarii Codex.

>>52336732
They have to know how many Iron Warrior players there are, and that any primarch will automatically sell a shitton.

>>52336798
>They have to know how many Iron Warrior players there are
Not that many?

>>52336798
I'm not actually sure that's true. For most players, I'd expect they view Chaos marines as a simple Red/Blue/Green/Purple thing for the four gods. Odds are you wouldn't get many people caring about undivided primarchs.

Similarly, any loyalist versions would have to be big name chapters as well.

>>52336837
Gathering Storm had a whole section hinting at that being the case. It's pretty fucking likely, but they'll probably save Angron for last because Khorne gets shit all the time and the other gods are more starved for updates.

>>52336854
This.

You guys are deluding yourselves if you think we're going to see Perturabo, Dorn, Lorgar, Vulkan, or any of those guys any time soon (if ever).

It's going to be the God-aligned Daemon Primarchs, and the Space Marine Chapters that have their own separate Codexes, and that's it.

Eh, I could see them doing Lorgar maybe, if only because the Word Bearers are the closest to defining Chaos undivided.

Loyalists I would certainly expect Russ, though I'm not sure they'd bring back Sangy or the Lion. It feels more like they'd go for Vulkan there, since they have an easy excuse to bring him back.

>>52336560
>"streamline"
As in "everyone hits on a 4+"? Please say "no".

>>52337005
They're definitely doing the Lion, c'mon. Dark Angels have their own Codex, and he's been teased in both Warzone Fenris and GS3.

Sanguinius is more of a toss-up. Blood Angels doesn't seem to get a lot of love these days, and he IS supposed to be super, super dead.

Salamanders have barely any players, they're not going to do Vulkan.

If Lorgar ever comes back it won't be until they update core Chaos Space Marine stuff, which probably won't be for a long time.

>>52337021
I want to say no but we really have no idea.

They're literally trying to port the retarded Battleshock mechanic into 40k and getting rid of Initiative because manchildren can't understand why they don't get to attack first every time they charge into combat.

Hey guys, I am using this dark eldar\ harlequin ynari list to go against tau. The tau player will have lots of interceptor fire and I have a lot of deep striking unites. Any advice you can give? I will post the tau list in the next post. I think my scourge are just completely dead as SMS will just kill them the second they land on the board.

My plan is to aethersail my raider full of grotesques right into the face of the riptide with the ion cannon. When they blow up the raider my yncarne will come down (or should I wait for them to kill my grotesque to drop the yncarne? ) my yncarne can hopefully kill the ion cannon riptide which will make my Medusa and haemonculi safe. The Medusa if they don't get wiped out the second they hit the board can do a number on the commanders unit. The haemonculi can weather the broadsides intercept and phychic shriek from the shadowseer I'll wreck the broadsides with -3 to their leadership (if she doesn't kill them I can shoot the grenade launcher and make them go to ground) the troupes will try to kill the striker teams.

>>52337062

Here is the tau list.

>>52337135
>>52337154
Looking at the Tau list, I think you might have a shot. The only thing I'll say is that with your target priority, you'll want to kill the marker drones that the commander and that crisis team have. They're a major force multiplier.

Once those are gone, you'll have an easier time dealing with the Broadsides and the Burst cannon Riptide. The ion one has a blast though, so you'll want it gone first.

>>52337135
If you know he's taking a bunch of interceptor, why Deep Strike?

how do I set up an admech/skitarii army? I'm buying the start collecting set and an extra squad of skitarii rangers, and I'm trying to figure out what formations/force orgs I need to take to make it work properly.

Fascist Space Marine anon again. How's this for a color scheme? I've decided on naming them the Iron Eagles. They're strictly Chapter compliant except for the fact that they worship the State as God. They also love chaplains and have their own secret police force who kill any of their citizens who don't seem like they love the State as much as they do.

Any ideas on what their tactics would be? I'm thinking a heavy focus on vehicles and Blitzkrieg but I also have never played Loyalists before.

>>52335014
My brother made his half-tracks. Makes the boxiness look intentional and creates an illusion of length.

>>52337403
Hmm...color scheme might be a bit too Khorne. I would consider a silver or steel color for some of those details and trim instead.

As for tactics, their progenitor could give you some ideas.

If you want to include some 'secret police' style units, Sternguard would make a good fit, being ranged focused veterans.

A vehicle heavy focus sounds like it would suit them well. Very mechanized infantry.

>>52337393

Yea. That's what worries me.

I really want to run a wych cult and have some fluff ready. Hellions are cheap enough on Ebay atm (10 for $25ish) that I might run a some blobs of them. If I run enough shitty units, surely my opponent won't know who to kill first.

Ordinarily, that can kind of work, but for Wych cults, they just don't do much even when they hit combat. Even Wyches equipped with special weapons won't deal that much damage to a marine squad even on the charge.

What's better for Skitarii, having 1 Arc Rifle in 2 squads covering the table on both ends or having 2 Arc Rifles in the same squad?

>>52337593

I know. The wyches nuke a Marine with a pistol, lose 2 to over watch, kill a few on the charge, and then stay in combat until the game ends. That's against 10 Marines. Against a combat squad, they might actually hit the perfect assault, lock, kill on opposing turn you want. The Hekatrix will kill will a challenge against a 1W Marine because of I6 or force the Sgt not to fight and save the squad wounds.

Here's my prototype without Hellions, though I don't actually have Incubi yet.
