Reposting from old thread: are new terminator models (e.g., blood angels, deathwing, or the termie captain) larger / bulkier than the generic SM terminator models? The most obvious difference is the head and the crux terminator but they also seem more impressive in general, and not only because of the detail. Can anyone provide a comparison?

Tyranid_Venomthrope.jpg

This is from the new short story released today going into some of the details about the Tyranids

>‘The data-codex demonstrates the tyranids to be a highly hostile and adaptable race – an alien swarm made up of many different forms, each engineered for a specific purpose. Their aggression seems not to proceed from cultural prejudice or territorial concerns. They exist only, it seems, to assimilate encountered life into their bio-matrix. The building blocks of such life are then employed to propagate the tyranid species further. The gene-harvesting of victim-species assists in the engineering of further organism types and convey upon the alien swarm various environmental and aggressive advantages. A genetic arms race, if you will, in which the tyranid grows stronger with each new conquest.’

-
>It didn’t just want to kill him; it wanted to assimilate him. To absorb his flesh and craft atrocity from it. To become one with his essence, the building blocks of his existence, and rob him not just of his life but of the future of his entire race.

Why are the Tyranids so focused on assimilating the genetic material of other species and growing stronger? It's an arms race but against who? Do the Tyranids have some unknown enemy somewhere that requires them to go to these lengths to ensure they are the strongest living species around?

>‘Ballistics in three, two, one. Mark.’

>With a brief flash, the automaton weapon fired its foremost barrel upon the restrained monstrosity. A las-bolt ricocheted off the shell-like carapace, prompting the gaunt to hiss its displeasure. The servo-arm descended to almost point-blank range and fired again, resulting in a small explosion of burned chitin and a squeal from the tyranid creature. The servo-arm retreated above the beast to reveal that the second shot had barely penetrated the creature’s organic armour plating.

>‘Having already detailed the construct’s devastating physical capabilities, it seems ranged combat is our best option against these xenos beasts,’ Kryptman extrapolated. ‘By far the most common weapons available in the Imperium are las-based in their technology, but as we can see, strikes in the nineteen to twenty-two megathule range struggle to penetrate the fused, chitinous plates sported by many bio-constructs. Even successful penetrative blasts would be fortunate to hit an essential organ in Gaunti gladius’s sparse physiology.’

Las-weapons have a hard time penetrating the chitin armor of GAUNTS.

More and more we realize that lasguns are literally the worst basic weapon in 40K.

>‘The living surgical vivisection of the third xenos subject has been a success,’ Kryptman announced, producing a data-slate and scanning down it, ‘with the complete specimen recovered for further analysis, documentation and testing. The creature has demonstrated... a considerable resilience to shock and biological commitment to its genetically-engineered purpose. The chitin-carapace and skeletal structures stand up well to conventional blades, necessitating the use of chain- and power-tools.’ The inquisitor grinned. ‘The close combat equivalents of these tools would be expected to stand the best chance of wounding tyranid constructs at close quarters on the battlefield.’

Gaunts are remarkable resistant to melee'ed attacks which necessitates the usage of chain and power weapons to do damage to the creatures.

Doesn't need to be rigged by GW, it already will be with Codex: Space Marines out roughly at the same time it releases, kind of like how the AoS one had Order win by a landslide right after they released Sylvaneth, and mostly Order Battletomes before that.

Lasgun is comparably lethal to autoguns which are pretty much modern assault rifles.

An AK could do it but it would have a hard time, between the bullet proof armour plates and resilient multi level redundant organs. A soldier could likely empty his whole clip into one as it charges him and stil fail to kill it before it kills him.

Will people still consider Eldar to be OP?

I started playing Eldar when I picked up this game a long time ago because I liked the idea of having a lot of supportive psykers backing my people, so I went with ulthwe.

But when playing people all I get is bitching that I am broken and then proceed to complain about things I am not even using or something that I have no other option to take for its role.
I don't use wraithknights to much wraiths in general which is common to hear them whine about being broken in 7th and when I use my wave serpents to transport my 2-3 guardian squads to their needed locations they bitch about my transport but it is the only one I have and when I tell them that they tell me the falcon can transport but it can't hold even the smallest guardian squad I can take.

I always take as many seers/warlocks I can because those are the biggest reasons I even wanted this army but then they bitch about them being on bikes and tell me I should footslog them or put them in a transport only to hear about how wave serpents are broken after I ask them if they want to have another one of them on the field.

Am I in for another edition of people complaining? I just want a army that supports and looks after itself.

The Death Korps of Krieg entry in the FW books has a differently worded version of Voice of Command:

Voice of Command
This unit may issue orders to those under their command at the start of any of their Shooting phases. Orders may only be issued to INFANTRY or CAVALRY units within 6" of this unit that have the DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG keyword. To issue an order, pick a target unit and choose which order you wish to issue from the table below. A unit may only be affected by one order per turn.

Duty unto death!
Any INFANTRY or CAVALRY model in the unit that is killed in the Fight phase immediately makes a single attack.

Without Mercy
All lasguns and all hot-shot lasguns in the ordered unit change their Type to Pistol 2 until the end of the turn.

Bring it Down!
Re-roll wound rolls of 1 for all the models in the ordered unit until the end of the phase.

Forwards, for the Emperor!
The ordered unit can shoot this phase even if it Advanced in its Movement phase.

Get Back in the Fight!
The ordered unit can shoot this phase even if it Fell Back in its Movement phase.

Move! Move! Move!
Instead of shooting this phase, the ordered unit immediately moves as if it were the Movement
phase. It must Advance as part of this move, and cannot declare a charge during this turn.

Fix Bayonets!
This order can only be issued to units that are within 1" of an enemy unit. The ordered unit immediately fights as if it were the Fight phase.
It states that a unit my only be affected once per turn, but there is no limit of one order given per unit using Voice of Command. RAW this means that a Korps marshal/officer could issue an order for each unit near it.

Do you think this is correct, or FW incompetence? Is it fluffy? Would you allow it in your games, or consider it WAACfagging (despite death korps not having first rank fire second rank fire)?

The main selling point of las weaponry over autoguns and other solid projectile weapons is ammo standardization, with a charge pack fitting anything from a man portable lascannon to a laspistol (obviously with different capacity).

They pretty much offer the same effectiveness but a MASSIVE logistic advantage, especially to an army as big and sprawling as IG.

>>54247636

And are still only 3 to a box. I can get a full tactical squad in a box, which is around 160 points, give or take for options. Or I can get 3 warriors which, maxed out, still won't break 100pts.

so both sponson weapons can fire at the same target? this is retarded.
>>
>>54247600

Forgot to add: the different wording doesn't specify that Word of Command can only be used once per turn, so officers could, RAW, issue as many orders as there are units nearby.
>>
>>54247639
i use three with autocannons and three with lascannons they are quite useful as long as you dont move them
>>
>>54247243
Yeah but the Inquisitor games' stats are 1-100, rather than 1-10, so Gaunts could be Toughness 39 if there's no rounding.
Like how Catachans and generic Guard are both Strength 3. The Catachan would be Strength 38, while the, say, Tallarn would be Strength 32.
>>
>>54247664
while true, the range on orders is not large enough for it to make much difference unless you pay the vox tax on every unit, plus you should still take multiple officers unless one gets sniped

if this was on scions then it would be very powerful, however not so much on dkok
>>
>>54247621
If you want elite you could try not running the cheap worse equiped warriors.

Give them boneswords, deathspitters, toxin sacs adrenal glands and flesh hooks and they're 39 points each and decently hardcore for it.
>>
>>54247655
Maxed out they're 138pts, go away.
>>
>>54247655
That sounds great for you. I don't understand your complaint.
>>
>>54247655
3 Warriors with toxin sacs, flesh hooks and adrenal glands, plus two boneswords and a venom cannon is 128 points.

Take a barbed strangler each and they are 146, what the hell are you talking about?
>>
>>54247655
The warrior box also comes with sthe parts to make a tyranid prime, whos 104 points minimum.

>>54247652
I think lasguns might be a bit more powerful, because in the Imperial Primer it warns that lasguns can blow off limbs when describing how to treat lasgun wounds.
I know a lot of the Primer is propoganda, but it also states that lasgun wounds cauterize themselves, so a clean bandage will often suffice, but bandaging a lasgun torso wound is largely cosmetic, because the heat from the las-bolt will cause fatal swelling of vital organs.

Also consider how much better most armor is in M41. Standard flak can stop a Bolter.

>>54247721
Crusader for sure. I prefer my expensive anti-tank weapons to stay further back for safety, while I want my land raider driving close to get my bloodclaws or wulfen into combat. The crusader just murders infantry, and then my melee units can clean up nicely.

"Without mercy" is basically a better "Fix bayonets" as it gives you double lasgun shots at point blank instead of a single attack per soldier.
>>
>>54247797
Makes sense. Plus I'm fielding Ravenwing too so it'd work from an overall color perspective rather than green which would stick out a lot.

>>
>>54247836
>>54247849
All weapons that were AP 5 or worse are now AP 0, boltguns didn't get singled out.

I agree with the choice, at a certain point (5+) a model's armor just didn't matter, and with a d6 system it created a huge gap between 4+ and 5+ saves. This change simultaneously made weapons that were AP 4 useful in their intended role, and gave units with 5+ saves a fighting chance against basic weaponry.

yeah I remember reading somewhere someone felt the hive mind was actually running away in fear from something, If we assume chaos is not contained to this one galaxy it could very well be they just migrated from somewhere where chaos just fucked up reality so bad there is no biomass so no more nutrients. Another known extragalactic faction are orks, it could be that nids got BTFO from orks so hard they had to abandon ship.

Most probably it's neither and just some "unknown threat" so people can theorise up. just like now. That doesn't mean they do what they do for a purpose, it's just their way of life so to say, When they turned on the light thingy they attracted the hive and it works like chemotaxis.
It remains to be seen how far is the evolutionary branching point between hive fleets and to which point they share the common hive mind. Not like GW will ever explore this anyway.

>>54247868
Maybe, but this is old lore and I'm remembering it from teenage years.

My problem are like the CSM and Possessed.

CSM are Havocs with less weapons. And that's it.
They are Troops, but other than that they cost the same and have the same equip and rules.
Boring.

Possessed are the same. If they had 2 wounds (for an increase in price) they would have been interesting.
Right now they do the same stuff as other units (like axe chosen) with some extra little rules that don't really add enough flavour to make them stand out.

Yea, because they didn't just convert all the weapons straight from 7th to 8th. They also buffed some weapons and nerfed others.

Note that both Pulse Rifles and Bolters lost their AP, which makes guardsmen equivalents a hell of a lot more survivable.
>>
>>54247910
I've the same complaint with vanilla marines. My Black Templars feel especially dull and bad. Without rules to back up their chainswords, I feel like there is no point to using them without Helbrecht or a chaplain nearby.

My personal headcanon as to why comes from the description of the Chaos gods as the reflections of the most powerful emotions of THIS galaxy.

Now imagine for a moment, that another far-off galaxy developed life and warp-resonance, but never sapience. What powerful emotions would create god-level reflections in the warp of of that galaxy? Sure there's lots of Anger, Despair, Excess, and Desperate Hope in the grimderpness of the future, but what about the 100% primal wilds? What comsumes the minds of animals? Eat. Breed. Survive. Now what would happen if this basic instinct were to resonate its own chaos god? The Great Devourer is a chaos god of its own galaxy. It does not reflect the complex emotions of sapient beings, but the primal and visceral need to feed and reproduce. It won whatever passed for a "great game" in its home galaxy, and has moved on to new hunting grounds. That's what the shadow in the warp is: The Devourer imposing its own warp paradigm on the world around it: one that the big 4 are not used to working with. That's why a species that's seemingly mindless is warp-sensitive, but never possessed. That's why a species seemingly devoted to efficiency in absorbing biomater chose such a dangerous galaxy to feed on: it's not just here to eat people, it's here to eat the chaos gods, because that's what The Devourer does. Khorne fights. Nurgle stagnates. Tzeench changes. Slaanesh parties. The Devourer, devours.

You get to attack one extra time with a Chainsword, so a model with 1 attack, a bolt pistol, and a chainsword is making three attacks total.
>>
>>54247910

Possessed CAN be decent, but it requires a lot of support units that would make basically any unit decent. Run them with a dark apostle and a jump pack sorceror.
>>
>>54247962
I hope they nerf obliterators again.
>>
>>54247922
If you are looking purely for fire support then don't underestimate a Mortis with dual LCs. Admittedly a Contemptor Mortis might serve you better but I play only boxes for my Dreads and I'm loving having the firepower equal to a tri-las Pred or LR on a fairly cheap boxnaught platform.
For anything Venerable stick a cheap Captain next to them to give them absurd accuracy, obviously. Autocannons especially shine here but sadly there is no Venerable Boxnaught Mortis so you might have to turn to Contemptors.
>>
>>54247868
This. Tyranids used to be a traditional species, they just used biotechnology (though not exclusively), and had client races they mind-controlled.
They were a bit like Tau in principle, each army has to have an X amount of Tyranids (what are now Tyranid Warriors), and the rest was 'auxiliaries' like Zoats or mercenary troops.

Thank you for pointing that out. I downloaded the PDFs and started to look over the points and you were right. His list was 981 points, not 750. That said, it wouldn't have really mattered, the Primaris Marines didn't do much. Between both squads, they killed maybe 6 Guardsmen total. It was pretty much the Land Raider, Custodes and Greyfax doing all the work.

main difference is that they get an extra wound and attack.

Their gear is more restricted with from memory only the assault bolter being different for the captain.

Each cost an extra power compared to the originals, no options for jetpack or being on a bike.

>>54248657
I do recall reading in a white dwarf that there are hive fleets with Rippers that gorge themselves, and then throw themselves into the digestion pools, and there are ones who simply regurgitate. The previous codex said that Hormagants would sometimes be deployed outside of the synapse web to just wander around and kill shit, and they could breed rapidly. It stands to reason that they would have a digestive system to facilitate growing from eggs.
>>
>>54248767
This is true but Eldar historically don't get access to melee murder machine characters since Phoenix Lords have been shit since about 3rd. Khaine does his job very decently, has access to rerolls in Guide and Doom support, and can carve up heavy vehicles and maybe even a moderately-wounded Knight if he gets the charge due to his 2d6 drop lowest damage.
>>
starting an imperial guard army, with a focus on scions

just got the scion starter and an additional squad of scions, what should i buy next?
i was looking for combined arms between vehicles and deep strikers

should i get more scions for an even 15 + 5 for the command squad, or should i get something like a heavy weapons squad?

if it helps, most people like to use space marines at my LGS

>>54249037
No, my army would be top tier regardless. Yours will always be shit.

Simple math really
>>
>>54247671

Actually in Inquisitor and in Dark Heresy its pretty easy to get your most dedicated stat to 40-50 ish as a normal human, the difference between humans and marines is that marines get Unnatural Toughness/Strength which flat out doubles their STR/Tough bonuses and gives them an automatic degree of success on those skills (plus a bunch of other astartes special rules)

So even a Catachan half-ogryn badass with 55 (5) strength will never compete with the weediest manlet marine with 40 (8) strength.
>>
>>54249003
>>54249037
How exactly do you hope to quantify a tier? Upon what criteria is an army assigned a tier? We have zero tournament data to go off of and as such you are literally placing your trust in the neckbeards jerking off to their latest unbeatable meme list. Furthermore, by the time we establish tiers, the codices will be out and all that data is irrelevant anyway.

What I'm trying to say here is tires don exits but seriously just don't make obviously retarded army building decisions and you should do okay against TAC

the dr thrax cannon sounds good, especially since i need fast armor to keep up with my taurox prime and scions

the thrax cannon sounds very useful against marines as well you can tell its just right, when the flesh falls off the bone

this will leave me with just 10 scions and the command squad for the infantry department, though

Another start collecting scions and probably a valkyrie.

You'll want the taurox prime even if its empty, they're legitimate attack vehicles.

Just be warned that Scions are kinda fuckin expensive to make a 2000 point army of since each 200 point 10 man squad+taurox is $68. Luckily you play guard and can easily supplement them with some tanks or artillery that have an easier point per dollar ratio.
>>
>>54249043
I was thinking that honestly. Either a group of Carnifex, a Flyrant, or a Trygon and Gaunts will pop up by it and I figure they have an answer for everything. I don't own Index 1 being a Guard Player. Anyone have their data I can steal?

Tiers will be a thing eventually. Maybe the index lists aren't going to be that far apart, because historically full releases for all armies tend to be more balanced, but it's just a matter of time until somebody discovers something in a new book that blows other stuff out of the water.

All one of them, you mean? You are right though.

Anyway, I'm splitting hairs. That was my point, indices are somewhat balanced against one another. Sure there will be cheese lists but as the meta re-establishes itself I have faith that counters will likewise emerge. It's too early to put armies into tiers yet.

Frankly codices will ruin the careful balance that may exist right now, but GW is GW.

Yes it will lead to some issues if certain melee weapons are free (Grey Knights can swap their melee weapons out for free)

Likewise Acolytes should be split to WS3+ and a B3+ variants.

(For more points)
>>
>>54249278
Indeed after all Acolytes are either confetti to throw at a problem or hand picked by the Inquisitor or Interrogator due to their unique skills.

>Inquisition should really be the kitbasher's dream

It used to be, look at the 3.5 daemonhunters codex. Inquisitors could take nearly any Imperial weapon in the game at that point in some very funny combinations.

Personally I go full melta. I assume that meltas will miss or fuck you over. So you need to spam them hard.

Beside the Repressor can have double Heavy Flamer and storm bolter so there is enough fire power.
You can make the "budget" version of the Immolation flamer that way 8" instead of 12"

You can fit 5 Acolytes with Storm Bolter in case you don't want the turn 1 move, but want more dakka

I just got one for my DG, this thing is the perfect Poxwalkers delivery device. It also only eats one dude a turn, not a dude from each unit, so if you stick typhus in there with 23 walkers you can just sacrifice a zombie on a bad roll. Plus when it eats a friendly it gets back a wound.

The repressor has 6 firepoints, so I can fire either all the meltas or all the storms and bolters out of it. It doesn't really feel worth it to take more than 6 of any special weapon in it.

Both can do both really. Flails are 3 attacks and S6 so even tanks aren't hard to wound. And a full strength squad is hitting you with 8 of those mace attacks so they do a number of infantry too, especially MEQ.

Starter sets and easy to build primaris do not count, obviously. You just need to consider multipart plastic kits of which inquisition has none except for one or two hq and vehicles borrowed from other factions.
Then, I never stated that optional conversions constitutes a meme army. I stated that if an army needs conversions to collect it is indeed a meme army. All your subsequent line of reasoning stems from a deep misundestanding of the basic inference rules of logic. Therefore, your whole argument is invalid.
Not counting that you have been assuming you are talking to a marinelet without providing any proof, and hoping to prove your unrelated points.

I have four armies and I never had the need to convert anything. But most importantly: why do you keep claiming you need to obtain 100% of an armies possible variants and models in order to collect it? If you need to convert it, it means your army is a meme because it either uses 20 years old models, no models at all, you need to convert every single model because every release was monopose, and the army is composed of replicas of the same model because these models were not released to form an entire army by itself in the first place.

The Primarines as a whole are a sad joke of new models meant for Maximum Copyright. The fact they're also "no options" units once again has me asking "so...why wasn't I playing WMH again?"

Intercessors are far and away the superior option! Superior mobility, deployment, and 6 Heavy Bolter shots each. Hmmmmmmmm...

The Reivers get...-1 Leadership. In a game of Battleshock, conscripts and commissars, and Stormraven spam. An aura of "no Strategem pts may be spent on units in here" would be far more general-purpose, and keeping with their "Disruption" theme.

My army is a Deathwing-Ravenwing conjunction although I usually field pure Deathwing at 1k pts. Tactics is simple: Two DW squads deploy near objectives and move forward slowly or towards objectives while Belial, the Apothecary and the Knights make an unkillable deepstrike-charging unit. At higher point levels I bring the Champion and sometimes the Ancient.

I don't think pure termies have enough models to put out enough firepower to work correctly. I think they work best as described as an elite unit that will do tons of work when properly supported.

They *need* the alpha strike, so deep strike your strike squads and paladins and put your interceptors in rhinos. If you're in cover your guys are fairly shooting resistant but you need to be able to legitimately weaken the enemy with your first alpha strike.

You want an Apothecary because it's only 77pts and he turns your guys into crypto-necrons. Add that to the already difficult to damage statline and you'd need to concentrate all your firepower in your entire army for 2 turns to do any damage to them. And they're only 250pts.

>>54250336
You should have at least 15, probably 20 Termie models (all magnetized) and somewhere between 20 and 30 PAGKs.

Start with a terminator box and a strike squad box, you can legitimately just take one of everything.

You'll need an HQ, so either get the brother captain model, Draigo or find Voldus on ebay for cheap.

You can hit 1000, 1500, 2000 points very fast as GKs. Don't go overboard with land raiders and just remember to always take a decent amount of power armor grey knights of some flavor.

I think 15 is a good number.
If you ever want to run a 5 man murder escort of Pallies for a GM and then a full squad of GKTs, this is the way to go.
Also, conversion parts for GMs, Bro-Caps (personally I recommend strapping a Psycannon to the Resin Bro-Cap's model) Libbies etc.

>>54250336
A stormraven, box of Paladins, 10 or so terminators and twenty or so PAGKs will do ya fine.

I've found the combo of 6 Interceptors in an assault Cannon razorback to be quite useful for mowing down generic infantry, though strike squads (as we've been discussing) are quite good this edition.

So something like
>Voldus/Draigo (either one is autotake)
>paladin ancient, maybe apothecary
>at least one squad of Paladins, sticking 4+ancient+voldus in a stormraven is damn good
>maybe a dread, the doomglaive one is fucking sweet ruleswise but I recommend just putting the guns on a venerable, the FW model is awful
>10 terminators, though you can just as easily do Paladins instead.
>10-15 interceptors, good for late-game objectives any time.
>20-ish strike squads, easy enough to buy and paint and do good on the field
>pair of razorbacks
>stormraven of course
>hell, psilencer purgation squads are hilariously cheap for bursting down the low-save MCs. (Looking at you daemons and nids)

All that will give a nice collection with a good amount of options.

It is

In my experience forcing Terminators to roll 4+ saves is devastating to them. And even if they don't do that much damage you're still gonna have a tough time killing them.

You can't run 4-5 Crowes. Plus 5 purifiers are still pushing out 12 psilencer shots and 12 storm bolter shots.

Crowe seems really nice now. Normal attacks to mow down chaff, short range Smite on steroids for tough stuff.

What's wrong with it?
>>
>>54250502
This.
But the real GK bros know it's Mordrak's 2nd that you better be collecting.
>>
>>54250490
>only having AP-2 on maces is kind of a bad thing in this match up.

Which reduces a 2+ to 4+ and only a 5++, while Deathwing have Storm Shields for a 3++

Deathwing definitely are the more durable of the two.
>>
>>54250200
I don't get it.
>>
>>54250115
You should re-read. That's a function of their Grenade, not their own rules. :) You have to start exactly within 12 for it to matter.
>>
>>54250546
Are the 1st Brotherhood special in GK? I can't remember. Paladins?
>>
>>54247475
What a faggot

Also, at points parity, you'll be able to bring more dudes. A DW Champ probably.

Psychic Only Chapter has Psychic Dreadnoughts.

More at 11.
>>
>>54250559
Paladins are their own pseudo-Brotherhood.

Also, Draigo was a previous 3rd GM.

So can a purgation squad for 35 points less.

The GK do mortal wounds though.
When I played against Deathwing I thought the knights were gonna stomp my entire army, because GK have always had trouble with stormshield terminators. But the Deathwing Knights got obliterated in a single turn because of the amount of wounds Smite did to them (this was with a lot of PAGK units, so it was easy to spam it)
>>
>>54250567
>>54250559
GKs basically have 10 Brotherhoods, but two of them are special and one of them is perpetually at half-strength.
>>54250582
b-but the 3" Smite haha ;_;

You're lost

>>54250550

The problem is more that deathwing would have to eat a non-trivial shooting phase, especially with stuff like psilencers actually being pretty deadly to terminators when spammed.

It would be a good match up, I'd love to see it.

>>54250553

So their equipment that only they can take doesn't count because they have to throw it before they charge?
>>
>>54250520
Very nice, those are exactly the models I'd like to bring. Thanks!
>>
>>54250596
I was doing more of a All Deathwing vs. All Terminators / Paladin face off.

Wasn't counting on PAGK spam. But you are correct.
>>
>>54250605
>b-but the 3" Smite haha

As if the range is a problem when 5+5 purifiers + brother captain disembark from the stormraven and get a full move

What I predict will be the problem with Reivers :

>Pop up over 9'' away from unit
>Fuck, that's too far to throw grenades !
>Try to charge anyway
>Fails, enemy just walks even farther away
>Grenades are never used

It's also funny that they wear stripped down armour, but apparently that has no impact on the level of protection the armour provides.
>>
>>54250606
>terminators
>not marinelet
Bahahahahaahaha

>IG mono pose only special weapons
Sure right kid
>>
>>54250612
Charge threat range is 6 + 2d6 + 1.

Grenade threat range is 6 + 6. If they have Infiltrate, they show up 9.0000001 away and get to sit there being cucked before they themselves are either charged or blasted at point-blank.

Don't forget that unlike other weapons, a unit can only throw 1 grenade a turn and only affect one unit. Reivers are cucked vs Tau/Supporting Fire.

For the same trouble, might as well sacrifice a Rhino/Razorback instead.
>>
>>54250712
>terminators
>not marinelet
Marinelets or not marinelets, there are no primaris gk.

>IG mono pose only special weapons
Where?

It's nice how you are trying to argue over points you have no control over, admitting you lost over all the other points. You can try to go off topic over and over again, but you're totally and utterly lost, and have lost each and every argument up to this point, not ever bringing up a single argument. On the other hand, I'm providing you answers to each of your attempts, which have gone unsuccessful. Your most articulate response up to this point has been "Bhahahahahah" which has no meaning.

Most importantly, the original point still stands: Inquisition is a meme army and will always be until multipart plastic kits are released.

>>54250816
IG only has mono pose special weapons. Unless you are just running launcher and heavy flamers

My army is mostly based on tanks, and heavier on scions for infantry.
>>
>>54250825
Incorrect. The legs are separate so you can run various poses by varying the stance. Running ready, kneeling, forward ready, rearward ready, etc.
>>
>>54248566
Well, least until the Codex. Wouldn't be surprised if we see stuff there.

Primaris Bikers would be awesome.

Sadly due to scheduling problems I haven't had a game in months. But I'm still painting. There's always dudes to paint.
