What's the most points cost efficient way to run Celestine and Custodes? Her and two squads, then the rest of the units use a formation?

>>52558645
I always get the feeling that whenever someone takes a knight sub-1850 it's because they're shit at list building and just want to fill up a chunk of space with something big and stompy that they think will make it good.
I know it's probably not true, but that's just how I feel, considering how many fucking lists feature knights.

>>52558694
pretty sure you can literally run her alone, I don't know through what detachment though

>>52558781
Well I'm at 2500 points with this and I figured he could take some heat away from mango the rad

>>52553753
So how fucked are non-codex compliant chapters now that Papa Smurf is back on his feet?

Looking at you, Black Templars.

>>52558823
yeah at 2500 it's perfectly acceptable I think.
But I swear, if I see one more poster asking to rate his 1850pt imperial agents army with a oathsworn detachment and saint celestine, I'm going to have an aneurysm.

>>52558837
The codex astartes is a set of rules. It guides space marines. But the true test of a space marine is how to interpret those rules. Non-compliant chapters will probably be fine LEANDROS

Eldar are objectively the worst race in 40k

>>52558645
I thought Magnus was limited to Change and Tzeentch powers + Eye of Rape. Can he roll on Daemonology? Can he even roll at all?

>>52558877
>>52558670
Friend

Does only one model in a unit need assualt grenades to benefit from not having initiative drop by charging through cover? Also i assume krak grenades dont count as assualt grenades, correct?

>>52558837
Templars have been mostly codex compliant for years, anon, and even before that, it was fancanon that people relied on.
The only way they differ is importance of office and how they train their scouts.

I'm going against either space wolves or ultramarines tomorrow and wanted to know if this list would be good

>>52558941
Yes and yes.

>>52558941
ya krak and assault are different. I think Krak is like s6 ap3 assault 1 and assault grenades are s3 ap null and a small blast.

>>52558837
Apart from the lost librarius, Black templars are like in the top5 of codex complient chapters in the current lore. It's yiffs who should worry but then again they are all but extinct anyway.

>>52553800
I'm not really a fan of commander with both guns and stuff that prevents him from shooting. I guess the idea is to twin-link drones from a far and if anything closes in/after drones have bitten the dust to move in and gun shit down?

>>52558619
Bumping for advice from last thread

>>52558919
Change has been changed
Boon of Flame: WC2 or 3, decide before rolling. Conjuration with range of 12″. If used at WC2, conjure 1 Exalted Flamer. If used at WC3 conjure either a unit of 3 Flamers or 1 Burning Chariot.

That's his go to summon and getting it on a 2+ it's pretty reliable. I miss spoke on the horrors part that will have to go to the other guys

Ultramarines are more fucked since Girlyman wrote it as a framework, not as a rule book. He fucking hates it when soldiers can't adapt, despite girlyman being pretty set in his ways unless he's actually shown how he's wrong by being btfo or having it explained to him. At that point he's pretty humble and gracious.

>>52559014
Are you running any Traitor Legions? I was thinking you were doing Emperors Children at first but then I saw a Mark of Khorne. With that aside, you need more AP3, even with all those sonic weapons spewing hits, some reassurance youll get through his armour would be noice.

>>52558952
Do you have any strategies in mind?
It certainly looks interesting.

>>52559007
Ap 4 unfortunately

>>52559095
I mean, if you place them right they can charge the next turn, just hide them well, plus they get shrouded stacked with stealth the turn they come on if Snikrot is with them

Am i missing something or is there no way to give an inquistor an invun save via a refractor field or something?

Can space marine scouts be used for stealth anti tank operations?
If so, how?

>>52559283
Infiltrate them and fire a missile launcher into their side or rear armor. If you're Raptors, fire some Rending Boltgun shots as well

>>52559283
krak grenades, melta bombs, missile launchers, whatever the sergeant decides to bring...

If you're asking if they'll be very good at it on the tabletop, probably not, but they're certainly capable of it.

>>52558978
Your wrong.

>>52558941
Grenades only affect the model using them. Adding an assault grenade character to a unit without grenades only means that character strikes at initiative.

>>52559283
Their sarge can take a melta bomb, right? And they are armed with krak grenades?

>>52559129
The CAD is EC, then I took an allied detachment of Black Legion for the Khorne Lord

The dude brings a lot of stormshields, so I'm not too worried about AP 3 except for blasting his basic marines. I do have a Defiler I could bring for a Battle Cannon though

>>52559119
Guilliman thinks the current Ultramarines are awesome because they're still going at it despite only having ever known the grimdark of the 41st millennium. He takes inspiration from them. Papa Smurf is very proud of his lads.

To add in some daemon summoning to my Death Guard, what if i were to add in a Word bearers CAD consisting of a sorc on palanquin (extra wounds for perils) and two units of cultists? Put sorc in max unit of cultists, use poxwalker hive on them from a DG character (also giving me the option to get cultists to use that on without needing to buy MoN on them which I do if they're part of the DG army).
That'd be legal, right? And not too dirty?
I also really want to play both Word Bearers and Death Guard, but can't really decide between the two, and don't have the time to do two separate armies. But the upcoming additions to DG does sway me in their direction slightly.

The main rules faq for stub weapons isnt clear to me, does the change mean that they are all ap 6 now or that they are all strength 4 or something else entirely?

Has there been any word on reintroduceing ways to legally buy Warhammer 40k Roleplay materials? Before GW pulled the plug on FFG I never got the chance to get the Dark Heresy 2e stuff.

>>52559411
Or even get a Latd + chaos spawn as the word bearers army, giving me their full formation bonus, also opening up 0-4 Lord of the legion slots.
Not that the formation bonuses give me much, but I do love large numbers of HQ characters.

Also scions and the custodes a4e deep striking wherever they're needed

"Stub guns, shotguns, heavy stubber." is the heading on the section you are supposed to change.
the only actual change is on the heavy stubber.

>>52559462
Only the profile that was changed is changed.
It's referring to the chart that covers stub weapons, and to replace the h stubber text with the new text.

How did you get into TT gaming? Anyone who got to hobby on their own?

What is scarier out of a Dreadclaw, a Hellbrute or a squad of melta chosen? I only have the one claw, and both feel like they'll get the job done. The brute is cheaper and perfectly fine baseline MM+PF out of the claw.

>>52559825
I would say the Helbrute. The Melta Chosen could do their job with a Rhino, but the Helbrute would really want that assault drop pod.

Just be sure to deep strike it on turn 1 so it doesn't get eaten

So I really want to start grabbing Death Korps stuff, but I don't think anyone knows how they'll be changed for 8th, so should I go ahead? I like the models, but I don't think we know what effect the changes will have on the entrenched, heavy battery army I want.
As well, any good tutorials on doing sandbag/trench terrain for Aegis lines? If it's not cheaper, it should at least look better.

>>52558952
What exactly is the Armored sentinel and Valk gonna do?

Why grenade launchers?

You're gonna want more guys who can issue orders.

Also for the wolves, make a conscript blob with a priest in it. This is a pretty gay move however.

>>52559903
The Imperium is always in need of cheap cannon fodder, so there'll always be Guardsmen!
Also, forgeworld does a good job of making viable armies, from all I've heard.

>>52559932
Don't have another command squad and not enough guardsmen for conscripts, also no priest cause gw takes forever to restock also the 2 special grenade squads cause I had about 15 extra guardsmen so I made two special squads. The Valk cause I like it and the sentinel because mobile weapons platform and cheap with a plasma cannon

>>52560124
I've ordered from both forgeworld and anvil industries and I've found anvil has a better record for less bent and less flash. From forgeworld I ordered a solar auxilia lasrifle section, command squad, and 2 basilisks. THe basilisks were good but the infantry both required some filing and the command squads swords were bent badly. For Anvil I ordered a custom platoon of 40 + 5 man command squad with void armor heads and fatigue shots arms and fatigue legs for these there was flash but it was light and feathery and thus easy to remove and honestly I feel like the quality was higher than the forge world on some pieces. Honestly if your gaming group is alright with 3rd party models I would suggest using anvil industy's plattoon builder http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Regiments-Custom-Squad-Builder/regiments-custom-platoon-builder

I copied the loadout of this https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-JP/Death-Korps-of-Krieg-Infantry-Platoon
and it cost about $140 less for a look a like krieg group.

A good while ago (at least a month, I'd check the original post but too lazy) a guy posted about how his army got stolen. So just today on the group another guy posted pictures of the army from an flgs where the thief was trying to sell it. An ensuing storm of activity happened on the post. The guy that had his army stolen even showed up. The guy posting took pictures of the cops at the store. Some were worried that the guys army would have to be taken in for evidence until after the trial was over if he wanted to press charges but the cops are going to let the store hold onto it.

>>52560698

Dump the medic pack on the platoon, command squads don't last under fire at all, you have a chimera to keep them alive.
dump a SWS and invest the points into a few heavy weapons for the blob, even if you are running them, six auto cannon shots or 9 heavy bolters will help in overwatch or holding an objective in later turns.

take the other SWS and put him in your Valkyrie, if you have the points, upgrade it to a vendetta.

idk about that combo of vanquisher and executioner, dump the plasma sponsons and make them both executioner with lascannons in the belly.

drop a melta on the chimera vets, you can only shoot 2 out of the hatch. you can give then a heavy flamer as a substitute if guys try to melee you.

idk what that sentinalis doing, dump him and get another squad of blob goons, executioner tank will do his job.

maybe swap your stormies to be both melta guns, if you get two executioner tanks, that's plenty of ap2-3, deep strike meltas will work better than a vanquisher anyway.


I think i managed to keep the cost the same, with the spirit of the list intact. you have to SUPER optimize guard to be competitive.

Would I enjoy playing against Tau?

No.

I don't care that your list has no Riptides. I don't care that it isn't using Optimized Stealth Cadre or any of the really broken formations. Because it's a Tau list, and here's how the game will go.

You will attempt to shoot me off the board as I try to close in with you. I won't get cover saves because Tau. If I make contact with any of your units, I will wipe that unit out. So you'll play keep-away, constantly moving back whilst firing. The game will be decided on whether or not I can make it into melee combat with enough of your units to take them out.

I know the game will go this way because it's the way every game against Tau goes. With every other army in the game, you can reasonably expect to see some variation. Playing against Orks? Could be bikes, gunline, green tide, walker spam. Chaos? Maybe they'll be in your face, maybe psychic spam, maybe FMCs, who knows? For every faction, there are multiple ways to play.

Except Tau.

This is why people don't like facing Tau. Because they're the one army that has only one playstyle, and it happens to be the most boring and frustrating one to play against.

>>52560764
>why don't you just run a completely different army comp?
Because I can't take a mayhem pack in a Warband/Murder Talon? Also, the claw allows for a T2 a assault while also providing a 12/12/12 3HP jinking assault flier with objective secured and S6 vector strikes to hide inside.

>>52560431

Yea, that's what I was thinking, too, which is why I went with plasma termicide over melta.

Took my Dread Mob in yesterday for a match against Imperial Fists successors. Opponent had some appalling luck with his reserves roll; had a flyer, 2 squads of assault marines and some Terminators in reserve, and three of them showed up Turn 4. I had some lucky saves with my KFFs, but he also rolled poorly on some pens that let my Morkanaut run amok. Standout for the game was me Ramming a Walker with a Str 10 hit and rolling a 1, followed next turn by the Dread ripping the Wagon apart in close combat. Game ended bottom of Turn 5 with me in control of the Relic.

it's a little strange because that armor pattern predates successors - but there's nothing saying that the armor didn't previously belong to blood angels veterans that were moved into the chapter when the successor was founded, therefore making them revered relics.

ehhhh thats fine, maybe mix them up a bit with mk4 so they dont look 100% heresy era.

I personally love the assault mk4 torsos, its the basic version of these, which incidentally would look kinda cool on them. but its the legs that really make them look heresy era. some of the knoby mk4 would look old, but diffrent.

yeah technically mk3 is its own system, kinda like terminator armor. but in heresy gaming people nick the very cool helmets all the time. you see a few cobbled suits here and there in the art, but that's you know, the past.

if these guys are successors, maybe fluff it as lost remnants of several lost blood angle relics recoverd in long campaigns, that could be a main motivating force, recovery of relics. that could be something to consider. these guys could be a fleet based crusaude to unit stuff lost in the heresy.

I mean, its your guys and all that. IDk what your thinking already. maybe just make the 1st company like that.

>>52561963
>The Re-looted Wagon

>>52561937
None of the chaos gods have a backup plan or an endgame. It's just mindless destruction, scheming, despair and hedonism for the sake of it. That's the point. If they ever truly won they'd just turn on each other and destroy everything. The current state of the galaxy is the best for them though, since the war and strife is constant but at a controlled pace for the time being.

It's why they let Horus lose to the Emperor. If he would have won they'd have just ended up destroying everything.

>>52561937
Assuming there isn't enough new life to be had to date his desire for death, his followers will end up killing eachother, at which point Khorne slowly fades away with no sentiment life left to sustain him.

Chaos Gods aren't known for their forward thinking, generally. Presumably this is avoided by the fact that whenever lots of Khornes followers gather in one place, they kill eachother, and that as the galaxy's population decreases due to slaughter, Khorne's need would be abated somewhat, causing a sort of lull in his demand for blood.

I think you give them too much credit. Your opinions on their motivation/actions is spot on though I don't think they think that far ahead or are self aware enough about their own nature to keep the status quo. I think it simply is a by-product of humanity struggling against their efforts; if mankind just rolled over chaos would run roughshod until it self destructs. The gods wouldn't pull back thinking "oh no my food source" they would fulfill their nature because that's all they CAN do.

So, the loss of templates in this hypothetical new edition would be sad but not necessarily a bad thing, but maybe the only actually bad change would be the assaulting from vehicles thing, and even then it might not be so bad if Overwatch rules are good and assault stays relatively shitty.

Khorne is probable the most insane of all 4 gods. Mindless destruction for the sake of destruction.

Slaanesh needs living beings to practice hedonism, so MAYBE Slaanesh winning the whole universe could be kinda viable-ish. Not productive at all, and it would collapse on itself after a while. But IMO, not as bad as Khorne.

Tzeentch is a weird one, but his infinite thirst for knowledge could lead to some sort of sustainable civilization in a way. Once again, its not a bright future, as Tzeentch followers are incredibly reckless in their quest for forbidden knowldge, but still better than Khorne.

For what I red, Nurgle and his followers are the least insane of all the 4 gods of chaos. I trust he would be able to manage some kind of balance before obliterating everything. And even if Nurgle wins and everyone is now a walking maggot infested sentient corpse, it's not that bad. At least, everyone aint dead, reduced to cave men or driven to insanity in a quest for absolute knowledge. So yea, Nurgle could be the best of a bad situation, as he and his followers are still quite sane (if some old lore I red is still valid).

I dont mean that they are mindless like animals, sorry to offend your Khornish pride.

I mean that as a cult of berserkers, I have a hard time believing they would stop the killing once the enemies of the cult are all a pile of gory flesh at their feet. They would maybe stop for a brief moment, wondering what's their next move is, and then turn onto each other, until only the strongest remain on a huge pile of corpses.

I dont think they have the required discipline or aspirations to not self destruct once they truly won over everything else. They need a common enemy.

guys, i could use some suggestions here.

I'm gonna be ordering some stuff from Forge World soon but trying to decide what exactly as i can't afford everything I'd like. I was going to wait for that new Mechanicus book to come out but it's been a year since the teasers and i've decided to go ahead.

that said, in prep for the release of said book should i go with either some Krios tanks or those giant awesome-robots (the names escape me)?

>>52562501
The books are still there, it's just that every model's individual rules are also out there for free.

>>52562547
How could we possibly know that, you nonce?

>>52562501
Because it's actually a hindrance.

People are less likely to start an army or buy a model when they need to also buy a book to just get the rules.

>>52562384
Nids, actually. I think the game has a good balance on how melee/shooting interact, but fucks up on not giving supposedly melee armies ways of dealing with getting into combat. Think about Nids and Orks here-
compared to more "generalist" armies, the kind that already get grenades and have initiative worth a damn, the "melee armies" get shat on at what they're supposed to be good at. Adding in another rule that only really benefits the generalist armies that are somehow better in CC does nothing to fix problems where they are, right? That's what I'm getting at.

>>52562624
>I think the game has a good balance on how melee/shooting interact

Currently shooting armies get 2 to 4 rounds of shooting before close combat happens.

Overwatch is fucking bullshit.

Genestealers are on par with Aliens if not better, yet they can't even infiltrate and charge someone through a ruined building that easily.

Trygons used to have enough toughness to be immune to small arms as well, and are easily two stories tall.

Hormagaunts are the velociraptors with swords for arms and massively increased numbers.

Unless you're fighting on a perfectly flat field for every single battle, melee should be a perfectly viable option for them.

It's more of a locality thing. Americans only really ever deal with Mexico and south American countries. Encountering actual Spaniards is very rare so it is simply assumed Spanish speakers are Mexican or Latino.

The only reason most Europeans are as familiar with the Americas as they are is because of the influence and prominance of the US. Most Euros, like Americans, are unfamiliar with the ethnic and linguistic nuances of Southeast Asia.

All a matter of frequency of encounters.

What's the best way to represent them on the tabletop? I think mercenary-flavored space marines would work for the cyborgs, but what about the UGs?

not very familiar with 7th edition....i played a lot in 5th, and played about a year into 6th edition. I am just now getting back into the game and am curious to hear your take on list building theory.


when constructing lists in 7th edition do MSU style lists better fit the way the objectives are?

I will be building Chaos Warband based decurion so everything in the warband has ObSec.....so does it matter?

I will be running at least 1 squad of terms and 1 squad of bikes, and 2 squads of havoks. Also 1-2 full sized squads of Chaos Spawn...so here is where I stand. Would it be better to run 4 minimum sized squads of CSM in Rhinos....or 2 10 man sqauds of CSM in Rhinos?

I have lists prepared for both styles but not having any actual games under my belt (in the last 4 years) I dont know which one would be better.

I like the survivability of the 10 man squads...but i like the mobility of of the smaller squads able to send them in different directions.

Now THIS is a droppod army I want to fight! no relentless Grav-Dev assaulting pinned troops turn 1 bullshit; just pure raining men!

My only suggestion is to give someone in the droppods a homing beacon or auger array or whatever you space marines use to reduce scatter. That way you can drop pod in an infantry unit turn 1, then have them summon terminator reinforcements the next turn.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Power Sword" bullshit that's going on in 40k right now. Power-Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine power-katana from a magos for 5 STC's and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid ceramite with my power-katana.

Forge World fabricators spend years working on a single power-katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to the galaxy.

Power-Katanas are thrice as sharp as Eldar swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a Ghostglaive can cut through, a power-katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a power-katana could easily bisect a wraight-knight wearing with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why the Eldar never bothered attacking the Shadows of The Emperor? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai-Marines and their power-katanas of destruction. Even in the Siege of Alaitoc, Eldar Banshees targeted the marines with the power-katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Power-Katanas are simply the best power-sword that the galaxy has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in 40k. Here are the stats I propose for Power-Katanas:

S:Ux2
Ap:1
Armorbane
Fleshbane
Instant Death

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Power-Katanas in 40k, don't you think?

tl;dr = Power-Katanas need to do more damage in 40k, see my new stats.

>You will attempt to shoot me off the board as I try to close in with you. I won't get cover saves because Tau. If I make contact with any of your units, I will wipe that unit out. So you'll play keep-away, constantly moving back whilst firing. The game will be decided on whether or not I can make it into melee combat with enough of your units to take them out.
Well yeah. That's how Tau are supposed to be. That's working exactly as intended.

176KB, 738x413px

So I feel like I'm misunderstanding the rules for pic related.

Does this mean I could take Cawl by himself as an HQ alongside a formation of just Custodes? Or is there something else I need like a couple of basic troops to fill CAD/FOC?

Ex: Cawl and Formation of Custodes(Golden Legion Task FOrce) = Legal?

OR

Ex: Cawl and 2 squads of Skitarii plus the Golden Legion Task Force = Legal?

OR

Ex: Golden Legion Task Force + Allied Detachment of Cawl and one unit of Skitarii = Legal?

I'm really confused on this.

What do you guys think of the new 8th rumors/news?

The removal of armor on vehicles seems kind of stupid to me. Like, they could pop even easier.

>>52563767
They still need to be part of a detachment.

>>52563887
Pretty dumb, indeed. It gave a strategic dept of positioning around the vehicule to destroy it easily. Of all the rules they should simplify/get rid of, it was not one of them.

>>52563928
So I could take the Custodes without a Formation as Troops and use him to fulfill basic CAD FOC?

>>52563945
Correct.

>>52563957
Well then, thank you.

I feel like a fucking idiot.

Is there an online color scheme creator for any faction besides Space Marine? Specifically looking for Skitarii.

>>52563933
To me it seems like it could make some units easier to deal with (Knights) but if they don't do it properly it will make it WAY too easy to pop smaller vehicles and tanks.

I'm mostly still waiting on how they will handle bikes. I want the jink BS to just die.

>>52563435
Saved.

>>52564043
So I have a huge blob of Guardsmen courtesy of eBay that I am going to strip and turn into conscripts. My only problem is I can't face painting another 50 Cadians at the moment so I want to make them way fucking easier to paint, here is my ideas that I stole from an Anon in the /WIP/ thread a while back, could anyone give some input/rate my ideas?

>Shave off pauldrons

Why the fuck is the drake so expensive? I'm debating getting blades instead.

>>52564237

Not only is run away and overwatch a frustrating and unfun playstyle to fight against, it's the only way tau can play.

>>52560139
It's sort of like Armies on Parade for 40k only but there's some more store-based events that tie into it and along with popular choice there's a grading rubric for the armies, and 5 winners will get a free trip to the GW HQ

>>52563887
I don't think much about it because I can't imagine what 8E IG tanks would be like. I'm thinking more about Ynnari and Friends with my Tank Guard, it makes it hard to believe my tanks could pop any easier.

If they do wounds on vehicles right, they could be hard as fuck to kill and tank armies would be monstrous. Just like everything else it depends how well the retards can balance it.

>>52564349

welp, that took a turn for the worse
I'd like 6th edition vehicles to return honestly, because right now things like hunter killer missiles lost all value, when in 6th they were actually a frightening prospect if you loaded up on enough for an alpha strike
>>52564425
not enough anti tank imo
chaos lord with melta in a plas squad is a waste, give him combi plas like the rest
msu is fine for the csm, but you need at least one squad of lascannon havocs.
maybe split spawn up into 2 squads of 2 and use remaining points to take lashavocs, get rid of the melta/plas on the csm squads if you want to keep your spawn or need more points.
>>52564462
this list is mch toastier imo
only thing is running a biker lord with no bikes is something that I personally don't like (it just annoys me having one guy like that on a bike without a squad, he dies easily)
Idk about psychic powers (I play tau/d-99/alpha legion) but i heard tzeeentch daemons are op and that daemon prince of nurgle is really good with dg.
Once again my only concern is lashavocs and cut the special weaps on csm squads, useless imo
otherwise I like the second list alot more, but it is 150 points more so idk about that

I'm curious what people would classify as a fun playstyle, and what exactly makes Tau incapable of it. Is it really just the fact that they aren't constantly pushing forward into melee?

The drake is more expensive than a flier from forgeworld, and it doesn't have any cheaper alternatives.

My new group has a few fliers to my none, so I figured it's time.

>>52558694
you can run them as a CAD with her as the HQ if you want, I am pretty sure Custodians count as troops in a custodes army.

>When you just wanna spam Custodes

>>52564644
well for a "one trick pony" tau actually have different playstyles, I think what pisses off most people is the parking lot/gunline tactic which is effectively playing attack/defence where the tau player sits back spewing dakka while his opponent charges him and dies since no one outdakkas tau bar some parking lot guard lists.
Other lists that are unfun are riptide spam and jsj spam where the guy jumps out of cover, dakka everywhere, then jumps back and hides from return fire and moves back into supporting fire range if someone gets close, since supporting fire is an op rule sometimes. This is mitigates by certain playstyles like close quarters tau which use fusion suits deep striking and breacher/pathfinder teams in devilfish with one or two heavy hitters at the back for support if needed. alternatively running a crisis bomb is hilarious since you can deep strike up to 10 suits (with commander) and up to 20 drones with them for shits and giggles for the best deathstar in the game that just spews out either flamers to remove hordes, plasma for teqs or melta to make vehicles cry, or mix it up with target locks to fuck everyone up. But most tau players are annoying weabs/neckbeards who ruin not cancer tau players reputation. For some tau players, the allure was a combines arms army that isn't guard, since guard are a bit archaic and personally fell in love with my sky ray gunship.
>>52564672
idk what you can run on knights for skyfire, though there was some gun with like heavy 12 or something (avenger gatling?), run those but then you ruin any ranged heavy dakka you might have, honestly, at those points them land raiders are dead and that infantry doesn't look very dakka so you might want to consider allying in someone for ranged weapons since 7th is still a shooting edition, though with 8th round the corner idk, maybe a hellrain detachment from scions or another knight (cerastus knight atropos from a recaster), but idk

>>52564698
You could get a copy of stormcloud attack and sell the other flyer. It would probably make back a few bucks.

>>52553800
Yeah, I would.

I see a lot of lists that look pretty similar to this at my local shop when I play, so I'd bring out my Imperial Fists army and deepstrike away.

Playing against Tau is kind of boring though, they really have the one tactic, which is shoot and play keep-away. Because if I can get my guys into melee range, it's over for you, and we both know it. So your entire battle-plan revolves around making tight firing squads to whittle down my guys before they can get close enough to assault, while mine revolves around getting close enough for melee.

Drop-pods for my centurions and scout bikes are key to defeating your list, along with a couple razorbacks to move my sternguard veterans around and provide las-plas spam to play hell with your riptides.

I know it's kind of masochistic, but I really like playing my fluff-heavy lists against flavor-of-the-month Tau lists. Even when I lose, it's still a lot of fun.

Man, I really fucking hope I get to charge from my Rhinos in 8th.

Bringing a Land Raider for my Crusaders really isn't cutting it at 850 points. Nor do Drop Pod YOLO deep strikes behind the enemy.

>>52559283
They're good for anti-armor because their mere presence forces your opponent to be very cautious on how they move their tanks. Half their value is in psyching out your opponent, convincing them they will lose their 800 points worth of tanks to my ghetto tank-busters.

More than once, I've had a dense city-scape that I threw a couple anti-armor scout squads into as tank-traps, to funnel their armor along an edge of the map so they minimized their armor exposure. They ended up keeping their tanks butted up against the side of the table and realistically not accomplishing anything for the match.

This tactic only works against Tau and SM's. Any IG force worth a pile of grox-shit will plow forward and drown your scout squad in straight firepower, then consolidate to deal with the more heavily-armored enemies.

>>52561474
