r8, h8 and ber8

This is for our semi-competitive group. I'm likely to face Eldar, MC-spam Tau, Crons, Guard, Nids, CSM, all flavors of SM, and AdMech.

Idea was to build a fairly powerful list that doesn't make you want to tear your hair out. I played something similar against my mate's Dark Eldar and got fucking tabled. That time I only had a CAD though, this time I'm bringing the Hunter Contingent and double the markerlights.

Are Rhinos better than Chimeras in the fluff?

If so, how?
If not, why do Space Marines not use Chimeras instead?
>>
>>52801479
Rhinos are designed to carry marines, fit in the marines deployment craft and share chassi and parts with the predator tanks.
>>
>>52801479

They are much more self sufficient, which is important for a rapid deployment strike force that can't be sure of supply lines.

It's why on the TT they have the ability to repair immobilized on themselves.
>>
>>52801479
They're meant to cheap, easy to produce and more self sufficient, not better.

It doesn't matter if they get blown up because their cargo is power armoured super soldiers.

It's kind of MSU-y so that I can pick and choose my targets more freely. It also helps with the +1 BS bonus to shooting with 3 units from the Hunter Contingent. The Broadsides are in single units because you need a minimum of 3 units for the Ranged Support Cadre, which gives my pathfinders Shrouded.
>>
>>52801479
Depends what you mean by better. Long story short, they're cheap and easy to produce, and the chassis is versatile enough to fulfil most combat roles. Sure the Chimera might be better but if I want one I have to place my order with the Adeptus Mechanicus and wait 8-12 years for delivery. The Rhino can built in my fortress monastery's workshop and be ready by next month.

They fulfill different roles. The Rhino is an APC that's designed to haul around Marines and fit in Marine aircraft like the Thunderhawk Transporter. Chimera is an IFV designed to move Guardsmen around and support them once they get there.
>>
>>52801433
>And what's the closest game you ever played?
Enclave Crisiswing vs Thousand Sons.
Really small format - just a Commander, two Ta'RoChas of Crisis suits with drones, two Pirahnas and one tetra on my side, two ML3 sorcs, one stock unit of Rubrics on a Rhino and one footsloging (but actually flying on the scroll) unit of Sarab Occult.

Now TS are usually pretty terrible, but seeing as my army was all Sv3+ and I rolled really bad on terrain generation so there were not much BLoS on the map.

We both went for glass cannon armies so things started dying spectacularly fast from the tuen one.

By the end of turn 4 only four models left on the map - my Commander, a stray drone from one of Pirahnas and a Chaos Spawn that used to be ML3 Sorcerer before he killed my Crisis Shas'vre in Challenge and rolled Spawnhood, and an immobilized Tetra with one HP. WIth some hilariousl rolls they fought in close combat till turn 7, spawn mmanged to kill the drone and take two wounds out of him, but died.

I'm not sure if the idea's any good, but every now and then I consider grabbing a pair of dark rider boxes to use as rough riders. They've got the spears and holstered gun-like weapons.

Just a matter of a head swap and ditching some of the errant spikes and symbols. Maybe covering up the cloak leaves with some GS furs.

373KB, 1800x1751px
So instead of being a WAACfag and playing biker and centurion grav spam ive decided to use this list in an upcoming tourney.
1000pt, 1 CAD

Thoughts?

Im tempted to either drop the Sternguards Heavy Flamer, or Nocturnes Fury down to a regular flamer, to put dozer blades on the razorbacks but is fire > mobility?
>>
>>52801479
Chimeras are more heavily equipped but rhinos are faster, more durable can carry marines who weigh about 500kgs each in power armour and have greater range and can be dropped from smaller transports.

The table top representation is accurate. The rhino pops and you are shit scared of the contents. A chimera pops and the guardsmen pop too
>>
>>52801617
Technically the rhino could also fit in the cargo bay of the regular thunderhawks. GW just ditched that when they decided to make their 40k-scale metal (and tiny) thunderhawk.
>>
>>52801520
Well, Rhinos aren't cheap, but they're cheap to mantain and repair, as their chassis is almost indestreuctible - some Rhinos were in acitve use since the Great Crusade, and were destroyed and rebuild thousans of times.

Which is better for Belial: his AP3 Fleshbane sword and storm bolter or a TH/SS?
>>
Rhino Chassis are tough, engines, plating and threads aren't. You can wreck it quite easily, but the wreck would still contain mostly functioning chassis that could be rebuilt into Rhino quickly and for (relatively) cheap.

Rhinos should be fast or assault vehicles and the "holy shit this tank is so baller that it can actually repair itself" rule should kick in more frequently than on a 6.

TH/SS is always the better option, unless you can get something AP2 that strikes at initiative.

What's the best factions for Tourney?

Sort of because the only way I can give him the TH/SS is if I cut off the nub on his right arm (which is what allows his storm bolter arm to stick on).

>>52801787

>>
>>52801785
Daemons (and R&H)
Eldar
Space Marines (including DA and other SM-focused Imperial Superfriends style lists)
Tau

Note that there is a gap between those first three and Tau and that well-played and moderately lucky Daemons are easily the best.

>Note that there is a gap between those first three and Tau and that well-played and moderately lucky Daemons are easily the best.

dunno what theme you're going for but pistoleers + Victoria miniatures rough rider arms + optional head would get you a pretty good rough rider unit. (picklehelm heads with gas mask would get you closeish to DKoK)

https://culturehustle.com/products/black-v1-0-beta-the-world-s-mattest-flattest-blackest-art-material

It's basically Commercial Vantablack, that thing that's the blackest possible black, but this one was developed because artists wanted to be able to use it, but only one artist owns the rights to it, so this was developed. I was thinking of bashing up a Blackstone fortress model from scratch and using this on the weapons.

Or using it to paint Necron or Eldar warp weaponry.

True, but with the issue of how GW treats Daemons as 4 mini factions in the same codex it does kinda warrant a mention.

There's a big difference between a Daemon Tournament list that is a Khorne Daemonic Incursion and one that is a Tzeentch Daemonic Incursion.

Guys, guys. I am literally shaking right now. This is a major omen of hope for the Eldar. The Eldar no longer have to fear. Everything is going be okay. The Eldar will ascend back to their rightful place among the stars. The Tyranny of Chaos will be broken over the Eldar. There is hope!

As for the humans? Nah, they are still fucked. But who cares about them anyways?

Ages past, in the War in Heaven, the Eldar Gods walked alongside mortals. These times are coming back again.

Tyranids are good. Neurothropes will just eat their gods.

Side note: if Tyranids can produce bugs that eat souls. Can't Tyranids just eat Daemons to permanently destroy them?

>>52803334
Because they have no need to. They don't go into the warp, and demons don't come out of the warp to attack them. Tyranids only face demons if a hive fleet comes across a world with a demonic incursion already occuring
>>
>>52803308
>question is, what can they do to whatever chased the nids away from where they came from.
Point Gork and Mork in it's general direction and say "That guy says there's such a thing as 'too much dakka'", and then kick back and watch whatever scared the nids get krumped good an' proppa by the greenskin's gods?
>>
>>52803351
It kinda is, since demons and God's are just lots of souls together.
>>
>>52803334
Probably, but that's compared to trying to eat an infinite number of burgers that are actively trying to kill you. So, it probably isn't much different from them eating crap in realspace.
>>

Not really. In Shadowbrink, all the Hivemind did was siphon the energy that sustained daemons in real space which caused daemons to lose their grips on reality and be drawn back in the Warp.

Got a few points to spare, opinions ? Forgot to include the Watch Company the four kill teams and Artemis belong to in the list.

The Inquisitor, his goons and the Astropath plink away at enemies front the backfield as one unit and contribute some guidance and some counter-psykery.

Same with the two units of sniper-Vets. All three units also work as beacon along with three servo skulls out in the field.

The four Kill Teams deep strike and blast everything in range.

Atermis, Watch Master and the Terminators come in the drop ship and kill shit in assault.

Dunno, I bought some stuff from Anvil recently to kitbash me some Space Marine, and the parts seem fine.

No there isn't.

Working from Imperial Agents, because I want to use a book I can show to people. I'm going to be allying them into Sisters of Battle, because of that.

3 Mystics, 1 Astropath, and an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor with the Big Book of Heresy, ML1, a force stave and a bolt pistol seems like it'd do well, then?

I also have the Confessor Kyrinov model, which will be acting as my Inquisitor, hence force staff. He'll be using Telepathy for Shriek.

Considering it's injection molding, the materiality is the deciding factor. Working temperatures and injection pressures would dictate the quality required of the mold (or lack thereof). That says nothing of thermal expansion capacity, too.

He then moves 12", gets stomps, rerolls hits in challenges, +1ws/bs, can take the knight relics (rampage, ion shield),

Knight Household Detachment, if this is your Primary Detachment, your Warlord becomes unit type Superheavy Walker (Character), with the obvious intention of using it to turn one of your Knights into a Character that can take weapons off the knight artifact table.
>>
>>52804616
Don't all the Knight detachments (or at least the ones in the book) specify "Imperial Knights of any type"? He's not one, so he can't go in a Knight detachment, it's not just a Lord of War slot. I can't take Cawl in an Enginseer Congregation just because they're both HQs.

Also he has no HP, and by the vehicle rules that means BOOM.
>>
>>52804688
he can't die cause he can never be reduced to 0 hull points cause he has no hull point characteristic. (just like vehicles dont auto die for having no toughness characterisitc)
anything that hurts vehicles specifically removes hull points or rolls against AV, of which he has neither.

The only thing that could kill a Guilliman-made-superheavy is a D hit, which causes an automatic penetrating hit, and you would have to roll Explodes!

Which Guilliman would then explode with the 10" template, and possibly revive the next turn.
>>
>>52804709
No. It specifies Lords of War with the Imperial Knights faction.

>>52804687
>>
>>52804690

...that is glorious.

I would totally play against that (Minus the hull points issue) if someone brought in a WYSIWYG Guilliman for it.

What's the list of Heirlooms of the Knightly Houses? One of them might get St Celestine a better melee weapon.

>>
>>52804709
>>52804713
On the contrary. In order to penetrate armour, your result has to be higher than its armour value. He doesn't have an armour value, and as of the BRB, any stat not listed is counted as zero. Grots in melee are all penetrating Robo Gulliman.

>>52804732

Ok boys I've signed up for a tournament in my local GW store next week (1000p., random paired) and since I don't have a fucking Imperial Knight I've decided to roll with psykerfuckery, since I know everyone else and their mother will have at least a superheavy, also someone plays eldar psyker army, so I added Greyfax because fuck that noise.

-998p.-

>Libarius Dark Angel Council.
Ezekiel - lvl 3 Telepathy
Librarian - lvl 2 Fulmination
Librarian - lvl 1 interromancy, bike and Shroud of heroes (FNP + Shrouded). Meant to go alone, jinx, turbo and shoot mind worms at big threats.


>CAD
Inquisitor Greyfax
Command Squad - Drop pod, 1 storm shield, apothecary, company champion, 3 grav guns
Tactical squad, 10 men, missile launcher and flamer, drop pod.
Tactical squad, 7 men, missile launcher.

Any advice? I know that I am fucked but is there any way to harm superheavies like IKnights or WKnights with psykers?

I plan to put greyfax, ezekiel and his libby friend in a drop pod with the command squad and drop them turn one.

That's not how it works.

key words being "reduced to".
He doesn't have a hull point value to start with, so it starts at undefined, and you can't apply math to undefined.
And unless >>52804744 can prove it, he doesn't count as having 0 for not having a stat.

I mean yeah, guilliman can't function in the game as a superheavy cause he doesn't have a vehicle stat line. But its amusing to see how horribly things go when we take this literally

The cost of making the moulds required to use plastic injection molding would be my guess. I've heard that the moulds cost like $100,000 per piece and so if they're going to make one it has to be for something that has a very high demand and can be used for a long period of time.

So if you did the Knight thing to Celestine, what would happen to the Geminae? They're not "The Warlord" so do they still follow SC around, meaning you need to do every shot one at a time so you don't try to Wound an Armour Value? They wouldn't do their auto-LoS thing, since no Wounds occur.

>>
>>52806252
Yes reasonable. But if you wanted to win. Needed to win. Winning in a childrens toy soldier game was the only thing that gave your life meaning.

You might try to force your opponents to hold onto "impossible" cards just so you have a handicap.
>>
>>52806257
Resin is heavier than plastic, especially when it comes to larger things like vehicles. Most people certainly won't be able to tell a real resin model from a fake one, and depending on the exact type of model probably won't notice for infantry either.
>>
>>52806176
I've got 3, 6 more on the way.
The mold slip was pretty bad, I'd say expect 20% of them to be unuseable. That resin is also brittle so the antennae will break.
still better than GW prices.

>Keen interest in lore/fluff.

You have to be a bit more narrow than that. Every army has lore/fluff, lots of convertibility, and doesn't necessarily have to be played competitively.
Do you like big men in super suits who can do many things fairly well, and have perhaps the most customization in terms of backstory?

Do you like average soldiers that could be from one of a billion planets, each with their own backstory and conversion/color scheme?

Do you like a rowdy bunch of fightin' lads who like to use the equipment of other races, and who commonly but not necessarily have green skin?

I could go on, but those are just three possibilities.

That depends mostly on you and your willingness to make them presentable. See those small black spots on the model? Those are small holes caused by air bubbles during the cast. If I had put in the effort to fill them, you probably couldn't tell it was a recast.

They are the most recent (real) codex.

This is the only codex they've had.

I like that too but 8th is around the corner, but getting a codex just for fluff past 5th edition is just having bad taste and hating your money
>>
>>52807194
Yeah. Melee is pretty gimped. Not impossible to win with, but consider the fact that you have to GET to the enemy to melee them, and that enemy is shooting at you. Overwatch can be brutal for melee armies too, especially if you're Tau or Dark Angels

Get a codex, get a Patriarch and some Neophyte Hybrids. For a simple low points cost game, that'd do you, it's also fluffy, seeing as cultists and leader is a fairly thematic combo.

I'm guessing I can get it on scribd I'll take a look
Genuinely excited

That is a good point. It's not likely that they'll be invalidated. But, still a good idea to wait for 8e
>>
>>52807268
Literally in the OP mega links.

>>52807200
China. Failing that, the Overkill box if you can sell the marines.
>>
>>52807269
Oh I think every codex will be invalid come 8th due to the likely scope of changes.

But they're basically the most current army that there is.
>>
>>52807200
The Deathwatch Overkill box game is by far the cheapest way to just get a bunch of models which also happen to be a legal army.

It's not necessarily the best way, since they're monopose snapfit models with no options.

That being true, they look pretty fucking cool anyways

I mean, imo they are some of the best Space Marine models right now
>>
>>52807538
Yeah but who cared about chemically castrated space imperialist pigs.

It's about the brave citizen freedom fighters valiantly resisting brutal oppression.

What are you some kind of water caste motivational speaker.

"In a turn in which the vehicle neither moves Flat Out nor uses smoke launchers, the
vehicle can fire one more weapon at its full Ballistic Skill than normally permitted. In
addition, this weapon can be fired at a different target unit to any other weapons, subject
to the normal rules for shooting." Different anon here.This is the rule for it, it doesn't seem too clear to me.

about demonic instability,
do I have to roll on it every time I get wounded/lose a modell or only if it happens in melee?
>>
>>52804905

the new FAQ says it does.
>>
>>52807973
You only roll if you lost in an assault.
