How powerful do you guys headcanon Spehs Muhreens as being?

It varies so wildly in the fluff, Black Library doesn't seem to give authors any concrete idea of where their power level sits, you've got everything from Astartes captains being able to solo 18ft tall daemons or Tyranid monsters all the way to an entire squad of Chaos marines getting rekt by a few Imperial Guardsmen or dreadnoughts being brought down by overloaded lasgun magazines used as grenades.

Personally I always liked to think of them being very much beyond human limits. I liked the Horus Heresy novels describing humans fighting astartes as experiencing 'post-human dread' which caused even trained soldiers to lock up and/or run away crying.

Not just slightly beyond peak-human potential like say, Captain America, but properly superhuman, since they were created to fight wars humans couldn't ever survive in. My headcanon is that you'd never take an Astartes hand-to-hand, one-on-one, you'd just never be strong enough to block a single blow and even if you were the best human swordsman, you'd never move fast enough to land a blow unless he was distracted, or evade any of his.

Likewise, weapons like plasma might work, but you'd need to get into range and line up a shot on a rapidly moving target without getting headshotted by a bolt round fired with unerring accuracy from 200m away.

My headcanon would be that if Imperial Guard/Renegades encounter Astartes, they either die by the hundreds or gtfo until tanks can engage or the Astartes can be lured into line of sight for heavy weapon teams, and even then, they'd be hard to aim at and resistant to anything except direct hits.

That's how I like them, as unstoppable engines of war, I find them boring protagonists, I like them when you see them from a human perspective and realise just how fucked being a human is in 30k/40k.

I think it breaks down a lot more than that! Tau/Orcs/Nids are braindead, but Eldar of any flavor require a bit more brainpower to play. Necrons are just retard level. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Now (chaos)Space Marines? That's for coma patients, I agree.
>>
>>53987358
The charge only does D3 mortal wounds on a 2, not a 2+.

>>53987231
Uh, no. My equipment is still OEM, no conversions allowed.
>>
>>53987281
I always saw their strength being in durability more than anything--and past that, experience.

Sure, they're harder to incapacitate than a normal human. But they still go down eventually.

The key thing is, the average tactical marine has been in a nonstop state of war for half a century or more. They really, REALLY know how to fight. Hand-to-hand, ranged, any sort of specialty you can think of--they can do it. This because even though they go down, THEY DON'T DIE. The strike force finishes the job, gathers up the wounded, and even with extremely gruesome injuries they can be just fine. If they aren't, congrats, you can stick them in a walking tank.

Part of their strength is their mental fortitude. Fighting constantly for more than a year would break most men, but Space Marines do it for decades.

really weak and no option for power armor. psyker option is cheaper i think now but the powers are worse like everyone's. iirc they were 25p base and now they're 55p

acolytes have potential since they're 8 points for 3 wounds and have many options but i'm not sure how to run them
>>
>>53987403
Yeah, and dire avengers aren't meant to be 17 goddamn points a model, but I don't play the game it's meant to be. I play the game it is.
>>
>>53987381
Amen to that
>>
>>53987447
You can stick acolytes in a repressor with plasma pistols and combiplasma! It won't go as fast as a dominion repressor, but it's a lot of firepower.
>>
>Screen Shot 2017... etc.
>>
>>53987399
You can't shoot out of rhinos anymore, and the jump lord can deepstrike and can more or less keep up with the bikes.
>>
>>53987358
Well it can only carry 10 models. I guess just shove it full of shoota boyz or nobz with kombi guns and just dakka anything that gets close.

Just with the BS skill, there's not enough shots to output enough damage but the melee capabilities of it and it's constant in combat fire support for other groups make it a plus as well.

So, if we're playing with rules as intended, tell me how the Eldar Scorpion is supposed to function. 3 damage listed in the weapon's profile, with a special rule stating "on a wound roll of a 6, this weapon does 2d6 damage instead of d6."

Does that mean the damage value is supposed to be d6 for all the normal hits instead of 3? Does the 3 become 2d6 on the roll of a 6 to wound? Or does the effect not work, because it is a replacement effect and there is no d6 to replace?

Rules as written, the last option is most likely to be accepted at tournaments.
>>
>>53987564
You're the one that's fish on helm retarded.
The rules are quite clear that it's a roll of a 2. Not a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 5. Like how the damocles rhino rolls a die with no consequence.

>>53987664
Why limit it to taking extra actions? You could have psyker sisters for tzeentch, or acts of faith that grant mutations. Slaaneesh could focus on acts of faith that debuff the enemy (similar to the old masque of slaanesh debuffs). Khorne could give you an act of faith that doubles charge distance or something, and Nurgle's act of faith could be BO.

Why so unimaginative anon?

Not the attempts to call it P2W but FW itself. Its so expensive, rules are clearly written by fewer people with less experience. You're paying more for a worse experience.

They could, but the cool thing about sisters is that their faith is so powerful that it manifests it's own miracles. In a sense, they're all catholic saints. I'd hope they keep that theme if they ever did chaos sisters.

>>
>>53987724
Some of the models they make do look good, specially the detailed character models. But larger boxy tanks are just better to do in plastic, as larger blocks of resin warp so easily during casting. And at least for 8th edition FW should just hand over rules development to GW, because they clearly don't have a clue.

This was already obvious with their 30k rules, where units got bonus distance to Sweeping Advance (which isn't a move) or had, as a drawback, a rule that forced them to always perform a Sweeping Advance (which wasn't optional anyway)

>>
>>53987746
It seems most chaos cults and warbands already have enough fanatical faith. Enough killing on a planet and boom, warp strom/daemons show up and you win.

If Chaos Sisters have powerful faith, then they would be the unique super prophets of the gods because they can access powers that don't require mutations but sheer force of will.

That or they end up like the Word Bearers and just summon lots of daemons from all of their units and not just Chaos Characters.
>>
>>53987817
Could be a boy(female)
>>
>>53987804
Agreed.

Inquisitors are have the most access to any of the Imperium's gear and yet we are expected to believe that they don't bother to wear power armor to battle?

The only reason I would think that they don't wear artificer armor is that it doesn't come in human size.

Or, they manifest warp powers just like they manifested warp powers for the 5th Chaos God, the emprah, but with thematic changes. Don't pretend chaos lore isn't wide open for GW to add to or change.

>>53987853
I thought part of the power armor's limitation to Astartes was because you need connection ports implanted and the technology does not work well with unmodified humans.

There is such a thing as power armour for normal humans, but it is kinda cumbersome to wear. The benefit space marines have is that thanks to the neural link the armour can support and enhance their movements so quickly it basically becomes part of your body.

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS GUY

just bought a bunch of old nids off ebay

Is this an old warrior model? Im completely new to nids except for back in 5th edition when they were my first army and i was just a kid who didnt know any better

Whats good in 8th?

I got 15 genestealers, 10 termagants, 6 spore mines, and 2-4 warriors depending on if pic related is a warrior.

Where should i go next with this army?
>>
>>53988031
No, Fulgrim's ego powers his armor.

Completely, scions are supremely good troop choices for all imperium armies.

Command squads are just silly for taking 12 entire melta/plasma guys in a valkyrie, you can do the same thing with normal scion squads but with 6 more friends in the squad.

They're decent medium infantry killers with just the hotshots.

I'd still take Command Squads and just use your hotshot kasrkin as volleygun models.

>>53988154
if you're using those awesome kasrkin models you should embrace the samepose imho

if you're planning to "deep strike" units with even a few hot-shot lasguns you must understand that they can't rapid fire on the turn they arrive since you have to land more than 9" away

Still really confused about how Berserkers work. I've heard different things.

Lets say you have two units charge two different enemies, unit A and unit B.

In the fight phase is it: unit A, unit A, unit B, unit B, enemy unit, enemy unit.

Or is it: unit A, unit B, unit A/B, enemy unit, unit A/B, enemy unit.

Only way to be careful is to make the whole thing for just yourself and give it out to a few choice people.

I think I've found out how to best use renegades. On below average rolls, you can summon an entire 1500 point army in one turn. Can any army handle 1500 points of daemons deepstriking up their ass in one turn?

>>53988208

Serves the same function, looks the same or nearly the same, depending on the quality of the surgeon. Not fully functional since they can't get pregnant (yet), but then there's "fully natural" women who can't either.

I suppose whether you consider them a "girl" depends on where you place the metaphysical stress of "being a girl." Is it mental? Genetic? Appearance-based? Function-based? The whole package? If someone does not completely fit at birth under that definition, then where are they?

Or perhaps it doesn't really matter and the shorthand of "girl" is easier than any philosophical musing.

My next army will likely be sisters (GW give them a plastic kit plz, I don't want to have to deal with shady garden center russians). I plan on doing a Knight like this as well as the sisters and tempestus scions for the assassination I feel the sister's army needs (I've had a sisters army before)

Not sure what the exacts of the sisters will be, probably line and file troops and melta dominions in transports. Likely no seraphim, just use the scions for that. And celestine, derp

Well they are T3 5+ and 8 ppm base.

Really, we just need Build-A-Follower. You can have a tanky dude whose had a Catachan father and Ogryn mother. T4 3 wounds.

You can have a sniper with a custom-made boltgun. Hits on 2+, but he's got nothing for CC and will die to a stiff breeze.

You can have a melee specialist with a power axe and storm shield. Or two knives and lots of attacks, anything.

Options are what we need.

So with vets being shit, I've been trying to think of another way to use chimeras, what about this

>Chimera
>Command squad (lascannon+2 plasma)X3

That would be a serious amount of firepower to fill wherever you need it. You could swap the layout as you need to, something like HB+GLs or AC+GLs? Maybe even drop the third squad and chuck a lord commissar and company commander with powerfists/swords as some melee backup, and for those sweet orders.

Any thought?

It's realy not that hard to deny deep striking as guard. And all the units you can do it with will still be doing their normal job.

Fliers are a bigger threat but even then a unit with two earthshaker carriages can set up so the guns are the only unit that can be shot at.

If you have mostly infantry anyway they are a great choice.

You're better off taking a multi-laser. You're still 2+ on T3, and 3+ on T4, but you get additional shots.

Heavybolters are better for anti-infantry and anti-large creatures.

Lascannons are better for anti vehicle and large creatures.

Autocannon occupies a spot with no niche whatsoever.

I was thinking space wolves with a stormfang carrying a wulfen squad and a storm wolf carrying a maxed out blood claw squad with all the auras, but that seems like half of my army right there, maybe more.

Are predator destructors a good use of points or should I just take more stormfangs?

Are ven dreads with shield and axe playable?

I have so many questions for experienced players. If anyone wouldnt mind dropping their discord I'd like to pick their brain.

Ah I see the confusion was in my use of the word smelting because the materiel is smelted before being poured into its molding

Just in case you dont know what smelting is:
>extract (metal) from its ore by a process involving heating and MELTING.

I shouldnt assume everyone works with metal on a daily basis or know literally anything about the process of creating things with it. My fault anon.

Autocannons are statistically close enough to HB and lascannons in damage against their primary targets to actually be a legitimate versatile choice.

Be less bad? Tau got pretty heavily nerfed.

If you're really struggling, take advantage of the fact that you can take special and heavy weapons on your relatively cheap infantry, while Tau have to load up on more expensive battlesuits.

.net fag here again, I put together a design doc for a modular "list builder", and take what I am about to say to mean "once I have a prototype to demonstrate with..."

I have this framework in UE4 believe it or not, that makes it portable to phones easy. What it does is take an input file that is essentially a rule system for a specific game, think the SM codex, rules of MTG standard, something else /tg/ likes, and allows a graphical interface to build lists in that system.

Currently I have 3 main goals of it:
1) given your current army, have a (as much or as little as you want) detailed statistic/profile mode to view

2) a graphical "at a glance" mode so that you can see a picture for your unit/card/whatever along with the most important stats near it

3) an easy way to import a file that specifies the rules of the game system

Is there any interest in something like this or am I wasting my time

>>53989477

There'd be two ways to do that, you can edit the .rules file, which would require minimal effort on my part.

The other way would be to do it "in place", this would be a feature that if there was enough demand i'd consider putting it in.

That and a .rules editor are things I have on the list. But these are auxiliary things I probably won't do unless I can get some traction behind the project, or other people to do contribute.

Doing this all for free has its limits.

I'm not expecting much, just enough to make it worth my time.

I want every feature of the system to be free to anyone who uses it. That being said, exactly how much it can do is directly dependent on people either contributing or helping me out with some dollarydoos.

I'd also accept minis

minotaur vs t8 3+ : 5.18888 unsaved wounds
minotaur vs t7 3+ : same
preator vs t8 3+ 4.08333
preator vs t7 3+ 5.444444
(keep in mind you can basically increase these stats by 25% with a trojan)
so in short the Minotaur is actually a lot better then i expected. i expected the preator to vastly outdamage it but the -3 rend and s9 really pulled trough
the preator still has a lot of utility going for it with it's pilum and firestorm ammo
but in my eyes it just can't beat the sheer durability of the minotaur

R&H dude here again, last thread it was suggested to go with Salvor Chemdogs. I know this will sound stupid, given how I am abandoning R&H... but my issue is fluff. I'm a fairly fluffy player.

I actually have an unfinished abhuman platoon, yet to be chaosified. I also have 6 forgeworld Ogryns.

I have a strong feeling that putting Sisters of Battle on the same table as a bunch of abhumans, radical and violent Salvor Chemdogs, is pushing it... but what the fuck do I do with my Oggies?

The Ogryn don't really have much Chaos Iconigraphy - but they are clearly berzerk. They clearly have tones of "uncontrolled muscle" that doesn't feel Imperial.

It's because of them I'm thinking of just leaving my R&H as chaos and boxing them up for now...

But pic related is tempting me to still consider chemdogs... and if I did - what would I do with my oggies?

TLDR: Should I convert my R&H into Salvor Chemdogs & general rift-raft.

Alternatively: the above but a penal legion, orange and metals.
