gonna play an eldar player for the first time this weekend for 1500 points

I personally know the guy so i know he wont bring massive cheese (no titans and shit like that) so i tried to bring a list that will hopefully hold out against him

thoughts? tried to bring a lot of ap4 + weapons to the field, and enough anti armour so his tanks wont just nuke my troops
>>
>>52535256
What, you mean to say that GW, who also made the Cultists formation with a special rule an auxiliary choice for Alpha Legion wich then gave them the exact same special rule which they had to fix through errata, made an error writing rules ? No way :^)
>>
>>52535256
This is the same supplement where they added special rule for a detachment that literally did the same thing as a rule from a formation, and the rule from the detachment would only affect that one formation (that had the same rule)

I specifically chose R&H with The Purge to get lots of cheap Chaos Spawn. They're overcosted in the CSM codex.

The CAD is my primary, not The Purge.

Why would I NOT take multiple sorcerers?

Chosen actually do their job decently. I've never once seen them not make their points back.

The Vindicator is cost efficient VS CSM Rapiers; 3 Laser Destroyer shots for 130 vs 3 for 165 with the Rapiers.

How exactly is 3 Spawn for 55 points overcosted?

>>52535460
Are you looking at the same unit entries I am?
Rapier lasers are 79 points for 3 and max crew.
Thought it was one spawn for 55 points but really the mark is what makes them ever worth fielding.
Field whatever you want man, it's just not competitive whatsoever. You're taking all of your detachments for all of the wrong reasons, playing strengths to none.

why

>>52535327
Run the scouts with the Dark Angels, and put a squad of Tacticals with the Blood Angels. Now give the BA tacs a Flamer, Combi-Flamer, and a Heavy Flamer, plus a Drop pod if you can instead of the Rhino. Now run the allied detachment as a Flesh Tearer Strike Force instead.

Your Shooty marines now have a great Choppy vanguard that have a chance of getting rage on the charge, instead of Obsec which they really didn't need.

Alpha Legion Chosen can infiltrate and are troops, and yeah it is the special weapons.

Up to 4 models (including the champion) can take special weapons, power weapons, dual lightning claws or plasma pistols per unit, and 1 heavy or special weapon, and the Champion gets all the standard CSM character wargear options.

They're nothing incredible, but they are fair for the price you pay. 3pts a head isn't awful for tripling your melee ability even before going for Plasmaspam.

We did a cache set up. Bunch of objectives (was a 2v2 so we had like... 20ish). Each objective had a random card that referred to different drinks.

Once your opponent's turn started you could drink any Objectives you control. Stopping for Saves / Close Combat.
Stopping when it was your turn.

Whoever finished a drink removed the objective and got points. So sniping half finished drinks was clutch.

My god man.. Keep Renegades, get a fuckload of FEARLESS 3ppm plague zombies, get a warlord that doesn't have 2 wounds, don't bother putting any survival wargear on the biker sorcerer, drop the shitty vindicators that you seem to have a hard on for and take this edition's better choice which is T7 multi wound static artillery in quad mortars and wyverns. And dear lord, like 400 points for 70 fucking cultists that will lose their dark apostle in 1 turn? Are you insane? Have you ever played the game before? For the 350 points you spend on horrible cultists you can get 116 plague zombies that don't even NEED an apostle. also drop the spawn to 3. They aren't made for combat, just to ferry your sorc around trying to avoid it as much as humanly possible so you can get an objective late game.

Oh also: Why bring Nobs if you equip them like boys?

At LEAST give them Big choppas for massed S6 attacks.

And again, they need a ride.

Really', you should name it "the boyz never left town cuz their trukks are outta gas"

>what should I replace flakk trukk and zzap gun with?

Gun trukk: Maybe a supa shorcha to light up heavy infantry or a big lobba for smashing cover creepers, or if you REALLY like zzap guns, the Big Zappa for d3 shots.

If you want it as heavy ranged gun platform the Big Trakk is tougher and has WAY better gun selection for just 5 points more.

Flakk trukk: another gun trukk with special weapon, or maybe a Gun wagon for a affordable and fairly tough transport.

There also the Looted waggon, 37 points and 12 seats that stay even if you buy the 30 point killkannon.

I can't remember any concrete numbers, but 50 battle sisters in one place was seen as a significant and rare amount in one place. You have to remember that the original sister order, the brides of the Emperor, were only 1,000 strong. The Ecclisiarchy has to be super careful not to overstep their bounds, as even though it's a loophole to use women instead of men, the =][= and High Lords don't like breaches of power by anyone.

I need advice from you Thousand Sons players and other wizardy sorts. The only time I've used a psyker in my armies was a sorcerer in my Iron Warriors who I basically always tried to get Iron Arm on.

Now, after seeing several Thousand Sons battle reps, I've started working on a very psyker heavy list. My conundrum is I'm not sure what powers I want to be rolling for. My list is basically going to be 2/3 Exalted Sorcerers at ML3 two Rubric Marine sorcerers at ML1 and two Scarab Occult sorcerers at ML2 for a grand total of 12 to 15 dice. Any thoughts based on your experience as to what I should aim for? My foes are primarily going to be Space Wolves, Tau, Orks, and IG. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is that limited to each Ordo the SoB are built around, like daemon hunters or the Ordo of the Fallen Lady?
>>
>>52536919
I wonder that because supposedly there is at least one Battle Sister inside each church.

So that either means that there very few churches in the Imperium or GW fail at soft squating the faction

>>52536919
So is each order made up of 1000 sisters? Just space marine numbers, they just lack the super human ability to take over an entire planet.

>"No stfu do this WAAC monobuild"

If I wanted to be "viable" I'd do The Purge with Ordnance Tyrant, artillery spam and zombies, maybe with some Heralds Anarchic to add Divination.

Maybe you shouldn't ask people if they've played the game when you don't even know about the faction I'm using, or what strategies I could use.

The cultists come back on a 4+; they're there to give my guys cover saves and to hold backline objectives.

What makes you think the Apostle would die turn one? He's got 10 ablative wounds. He's not even that vital, just a tax.

The reason for 5 spawn is I was going to roll biomancy on the biker and try to give them all 4+ FnP. They are made for combat; D6 attacks each and fear let my Sorcerer go into melee more safely

Who the fuck would get a ML3 sorcerer AND retinue just to have them not do any combat?

If you actually knew what the Alpha Legion rules are, you'd know that whenever my warlord dies, I get to pick another, and reroll warlord trait. Why would I want a mediocre GEQ warlord? I've got 2 ML3 Sorcerers.

How is the Vindicator Tank Destroyer shit? 130 points for a 3 hull point, 3 shot Laser Destroyer Array.

Please think before you reply.

Yes I know, but the ones acting like the Swiss guard of the Vatican are Battle Sisters.

With such small numbers the retarded feets SoB can do makes them obvjectivly better than marines and cheaper to make.

So the number is horse shit or in universe explantion is the church just say random numbers and the inquisition is ok with it because SoB police the church too from the inside.

Even if an AT Field was a 2++ rerollable, Wraithknights can be armed with a gun that LITERALLY OPENS a portal to hell. Sure maybe the AT Field protects the Eva from the Wraithknight, but if the Eva is sent directly to hell, do not pass go, do not collect 200 thrones, what does it matter.

Because the advice was literally "Don't do this army, just forget about most of your units, instead do R&H artillery and zombie spam."

R&H was only in the first list to get cheap spawn, and admittedly it WAS shit.

I disregarded the "advice" because I want to play Alpha Legion, not R&H.

I don't give a shit about harsh criticism, but if you give me alternatives they better not be "just take the most points efficient (and extremely undercosted) option in this Battle Brothers army".

As do I, but posing a 1850 list in /40kg/ is like walking into a room wearing a trenchcoat and fedora.
>>
>>52538001
No, it isn't remotely similar 7th edition has complicated as fuck army building. I suggest you just read the rules.
>>
>>52538001
Yes

They have barely even a handful of units so it'll be samey

As above

>>52537991
>>52538068


Yep, you're right: >>52537989 . No one said anything about competitive, yet here we are.
>>
>>52538001
some factions (necrons, eldar, tau, SM) only really need their codex or maybe one supplement, others need several books or allies to be viable

>tfw your IG army needs 5 books to be played

The Eldar were the most powerful empire, they collapsed and the Imperium took their spot.

Now the Imperium is stagnated and clearly moving to collapse, their empire slowly ending. Will the Tau be the next empire in the universe?

>posting fluffy lists for critique with the point level of 1850
If your friends are fielding armies as bad as those that have been posted it literally doesn't matter what you put on the table. This is what I'm trying to get across.

>>52538001
the edition is about to flip in a couple months, i wouldn't worry about army building right now since you wont have enough models built and painted if you started now to play much 7th

No, that's a choice YOU made.

You've units for every slot.

Just starting with Skitarii/AdMech and I'm building a War Convo. I'm just getting back into 40k after being gone for about 8 years. So far I've been rolling with a Skitarii Maniple, so I don't own anything AdMech (do have Cawl and a TPD), but I basically have the Battle Maniple already.

Any suggestions as to how I could improve the list? It's definitely sloppy because I whipped it up last night without too much thought

>smilingJewish40kplayer.jpg
>>
>>52538136
I really don't see what 1850 has to do with anything; 1500 is what they use at EU tournaments and yet people are suggesting I use that.

I consistently win against my friend who plays tau, but when he uses slaanesh daemons it's usually very close.

What's this about a new edition? 8th coming up just around the corner?
>>
>>52538156
Hive fleets have zero narrative relevance at this point.
>>
>>52538392
Yeah that's been established, but it has no bearing on a list that is 1850 points.
>>
>>52538418
it's been all but confirmed that 8th edition will drop this summer
>>
>>52537610
Flesh Tearers are older than BT. BT only got famous because they had a codex.
>>
>>52538446
No, not really. It's been con firmed that GW has a major release planned for summer and it's widely speculated that it will be 8th edition, there has been no "confirmation" that 8th edition will actually drop then.
>>
>>52538485
Call me when your army shows up in a starter set.

Wait... DE and BT in the same set, both are shit now...
>>
>>52538418
Don't Panic!

If you know how the core rules with troops works then the rest is pretty much your army list.

Don't be afraid to google stuff up if you want more insight into things. But yes the 8th Sigmar Ed is coming soon.
GW want to simplify the game to get more players like they did with WH fantasy. But, they have said some vague things hinting that it won't be as drastic as Age of Sigmar,

If things seem confusing just keep reading and looking here and you will be brought up to speed in no time.
>>
>>52538494
oh come on m8, they are talking up a storm about new rules for the next edition and everything, plus no new codex announcements for months, you know that's what it is.
>>
>>52537610
This is Supplement for BA Codex.
>>
>>52538529
They haven't said much, all they've really said is, 'this is what we are thinking.'

>>52538529
Plastic Steel Legion?
>>
>>52538570
keep living in denial my dude
>>
>>52538575

That's something someone threw out there. But seeing as they have unique rules for Shadow War, maybe? But unconfirmed.
>>
>>52538494
It could show up anywhere from July through September or possibly early 2018. The summer release might just turn out to be AoS shit.

The comments from GW that indicate a lack of finality about core 8th edition rules cast some doubt on it coming sooner rather than later.
>>
>>52538595
They have been riding a fence not saying anything concrete. Alle we know is that it's going to be simpler and even that is speculation.
>>
>>52538529
The fact they're talking about potential rules changes makes it less likely that it's coming soon, not more likely. If they're still figuring put how the game is going to work that means it's not even close to finished.
>>
>>52538609
Q3 then, Q4 is the release of their Age of Sigmar card building mini's game.
>>
>>52538645
you're shamefully retarded, they work on new rules for like a year, they obviously have the next editions rules almost totally done if not finished, them saying they are considering this or thinking about that is a sly way of hinting at whats coming

Just getting back into the game after a long break, Ive been told guard are better with allies and I have an ordo hereticus inquisitor with siome crusaders Id love to stick in a vendetta or something but I don't even know which book is the most up to date for IQ rules.

Also I know specific formations are the bees knees, so what formations should I run and where do I find the rules for them?

Also general thoughts on list, I used to run battle tanks and demolishers but it seems plasma is king now.

Man I wish the Militarum Tempestus Codex wasn't trash.

>>52539230
I wish the game was just unbalance and not utterly broken and needing of constant checking

I wish they didn't have a codex and were just part of an updated guard codex like they fucking should be.

Not really.
Wraithknights were MC, Tau had no Stormsurges, formations didn't exist, Daemonology didn't exist, Super Friends didn't exist, Horrors didn't split, mega detachments didn't exist (therefore take this for free points didn't exist), Eldar didn't shit Strength D.

BUT you had Tau battle brothers with Space Marines and Eldar, Independent Characters could join MC units, Wave Serpents had their BS Shield.

Basically a whole different set of BS.

You can swap an army with one, and then buy another from the standard vehicle equipment.

You could also take a combi-bolter and one of the other combi weapons on top of that if you really wanted a lot of guns, but that's just indulgent at that point

Not quite. At the very least you're only paying another 30 or so points for extra guns on a walker, rather than actively doubling the point cost of a transport.

Defilers aren't the greatest anyway. If Battle Cannons didn't force everything else to snap shot like they used to, they'd be great.

Zoology student who is making the currently unpainted one from earlier in the thread here: That guide is really handy, but not very anatomically correct. Ideally you want to have 8 limbs, especially as it's a fucking Khorne machine.

Imagine you're a Heretek and Khorne catches you cutting corners and making an animal that has his sacred number of legs with two less legs. I don't think he'd be very happy with you, would he?

Also the claw plate from a soul grinder makes a better "face" than the one in the basic conversion guide, if you can ebay one like I did.
