As Ravenwing how do I deal with Green Tide at low points? (1250)

The list I am going against has the 10 PK nobs and 100 boyz + BBP PK warboss then a pain boy and two groups of gretchin.

I am bringing my IG Chap, 3 squads of bike (1 melta, 1 plasma, 1 grav) an attack squadron (melta bike squad with melta land speeder) and a support squadron. (Darkshroud and 3 double bolter land speeders)

I just kind of skirt around the blob of shit and zap what I can. It makes for such long and grindy games and I try to just focus on the mission.

He has an infinite number of look out sirs and all this other nonsense.

Our first game he charged my support squadron and just decimated them.

We are getting ready to move up to 1500 and I think i need more templates or something.... I am considering droping my attack squad for the silence squad with the three fliers. All he is adding is 16 lootas, thats all that could really hit them.

Flamers in squads. Also, Thunderfire cannons are 100 points. Get a couple, maybe some whirlwinds, and watch his wall fall. Blasts are your friend here, capitalize on that. Here is where a tank column of your standard russ would be best. S8 AP3 large blasts ignore the save from the painboy, and removes big chunks of his wall.

You could also ally in a vindicare assassin to plink off his painboy easier.

I dunno what to do. Tarkus apparently does 1300, the most I can get, DPS with the Stormbolter. Coupled with the fact Focus Fire buffs his damage too. Avitus does about 1000 base then Focus Fire makes it more. But I also have a Lv.20 Plasma Gun. Which I can't give to Hairgel as I maxed his melee not his range.

I dunno what to do. The DPS shootup with the cooldown Stormbolter is insane. Thule isn't even maxed melee or range and only has one level left. But he might be better instead of Thaddeus (which then means taking fucking repair kits for him) arrrrg.

Games giving me choices is bad! t. /v/

Been playing my Zhadsnark bike army for a while now and decided to add some fliers and a second CAD to get to 1500 pts. Still learning but I felt I could handle the different unit types and some bigger games as I am behind point wise in the arms race of my playgroup.

We aren't meeting till near Christmas so they haven't seen it yet. I may pick up another box of lootas and split the mob of 15 I have and add in two more.

HQ (225pts)

Painboy (75pts)
Warbike

Zhadsnark 'Da Rippa'(150pts)

Elites

9 Tankbustas (170pts)
Boss Nob
Bosspole, Power Klaw

Troops

2 units of 6x Warbiker(108pts ea)

Fast Attack

Dakkajet (110pts)
2x Twin-linked Supa Shoota

3 Deffkoptas (90pts)

Heavy Support

Battlewagon (160pts)

Yeah, I noticed that. I'd love to see it myself as corsairs are one of my favorite lists..

Wielder of Profane Powers: gain +1 ML, which can become Mastery 2 if you bought the generic upgrade that Princes get. They open up Malefic Daemonology to all psykers in the army, but must also generate at least one Malefic power for themselves.

>>43867019

I feel like the few Ork bike lists I have seen really pushed the bikes as orks tend to push whatever they are spamming.

I am talking about 21+ bikes, those things shoot a ton! Easily more value than dakka jets since they can be troops for you.

For that matter I haven't seen any ork flier get its points back besides the bomber.

That could be more bikes or together almost enough for another battlewagon and maybes some burnas.

The Mek guns are nice though. You can set up a nice little artillery bubble with your big mek and shoot at scary things.

Tank Bustas and Battlewagons are just good stuff so having them is always a plus.

Looks like a good enough list, I wish I saw more orks.

Nigga, my dakka blocks out the sun.

I only have 7 lootas in the list though.

>>
>>43867266
I did not read the rules but these questions might give you the answer:
Does running disallow fighting or increase difficulty to fight? Can all units run (Termies, Dread)?
>>
>>43867039
I don't get the point of that one, I would never run malefic daemonology, especially with THAT punishing of a perils chart. All it would grant is an additional warp charge in the turn, which I apparently can do for 10 points to a baron to turn him into a WC battery.
>>
So I recently got into 40k, buying a small Tyranid force. My brother got a Blood Angels force and we've played two games. We both had fun, but I won both games (totally dominating the first) and my brother is pretty demoralized about it.

The big issue, we think, is that Blood Angels units cost so many points. We bought the Deathstorm battle box, which is ostensibly equal forces, but the SMs have about 200 points over the Tyranid force.

He's worried that in any equivalent-point battle, he'll always be outnumbered and have zero chance of winning. It was pretty close between me and him, but my other brother just bought some necrons and he's got lots of spare points to get up to our level, despite his soldiers being really good.

How do we resolve this? I'm thinking of just letting him go over on points.
>>
>>43867585
Tyranids and BA should be pretty well balanced against each other.

Is the problem that he just doesn't have enough shooting to substantially damage your Tyranid units?

If so - have you been playing with the rules for Synapse, remembering that most Tyranids aren't fearless (and have pretty low Ld).

Because your brother would do well to target your Synapse creatures first, killing those will make the rest of your army far more likely to fail Morale checks as a result of casualties from shooting.

Hope this helps.
>>
>>43867585
This anon >>43867601 covered most of it, if hes still concerned perhaps he should look into different unit types. Baal Predators shred infantry and would cut down on the numbers disadvantage hes at.

>>43867617
Thanks for the replies. Synapse isn't really a concern because the only creatures I've got who need it are the shooty Carnifex, who sits in the back next to some shooty warriors, and some hormagaunts who stick near the Broodlord.

He's rolled really poorly for his shooting, and the special Broodlord character grants a 4+ cover save in open terrain to his genestealers (Stealth and Shrouded) and a 5+ to everyone else.

He also charged his Death Company assault marines into my 'stealers, which chewed them up with higher initiative.

His terminators and dreadnought are the real winners of his army. He got the Dread into CC against my hormagaunts and wiped them, then took out half the stealers before my Carnifex charged and killed it outright. Then it came down to Termies vs. Genestealers, and the Broodlord finally won the battle for me.

So power-wise, we seem evenly matched, perhaps a little in my favor. But the points are badly off balance- I've got 200-ish points I could fill to match his army and that would make it damn near impossible for him to beat me.
>>
>>43867701
>>43867693
>>43867699

tzeentch/nurgle themed lists consistently place top 10. Plague drones, Lords of Change, and Heralds of Tzneetch are incredible units, and lords of change consistently beat the piss out of anything that they can come into contact with.

Full out tzeentch lists are capable of summoning half their armies points cost to the table every turn, on average dice rolls.
>>
>>43867726
Good formations and a nice mechanics can't do much on a overpriced and limited set of units.

They are still CSM. They are still bad.
>>
>>43867585
has he tried using more death company with jump packs? keep them with all bolt pistols and chainswords, maybe 1 powerfist per 5 or 10 dudes. BA dreadnoughts suck. The only use for them are furiosos with frag cannons and heavy flamers in drop pods. the other suck. Baal predators are great against tyranids unless they're using venomthropes and malanthropes. the only 2 Warlords that do anything remotely worth it are Astorath, Dante, the sanguinary priest and MAYBE a librarian, ignore all other HQs. Their Troops also kind of suck. Try flamer, heavy flamer, and a combi-flamer tacticals in a drop pod?
>>
>>43867740
Fair enough. Just seemed to be doing well from what I have seen.

We have a KD player in our local meta, he was wiping the floor with everyone. My guess is nobody knew how to deal with that much melee as most people play shooty armies.

Kind of like what happened when my friends first fought me and my daemons. With psyker- free armies.
>>
>>43867711
;_;

I just put together a flyrant with that loadout. Read about it online, thought it was cool, cut up some extra devourers to mod up some twin-links (they look great). I kinda feel like a jackass but I'd rather let him use more stuff than cripple myself.

>>43867746
He's only got 5 assaulters, but I'll suggest getting more and changing out the dreadnought. He didn't have to glue his arms in because the slots were tight enough to hold them together.

There is an error in that codex.

"A Blood Tithe point is generated each time [xxx] a character with the Blood for the Blood God! special rule is slain, or slays an enemy character in a challenge."

That extra coma (which don't belongs), make that RAW you gain a blood point when you lose a character in any way, not only challenges (how it was intended).

That means the KD players gain twice as many points when they get their units destroyed.

Most of the power of that codex is based on an writing error. That's stupid.
>>
>>43867796
and shoot the flyrant with what? the only skyfire in the entire codex is the stormraven, so unless he gets one, he literally has no answer to it. And being AV12 all around, the flyrant has a fair chance of glancing it down or at least forcing it to jink every turn.
>>
>>43867734
When GW were constructing the lists of Tyranid and BA models to be included, they probably weren't paying too close attention to the points.

They were likely more concerned about presenting a roughly equal force distribution with fairly obvious counters and counter-counters.

Anyway, advice:
He should let the Genestealers come to him, and force them to charge through terrain. Genestealers don't have grenades, so their init 6 becomes init 1, and they'll have to suffer through whatever Overwatch the BA will put out first.

I can't remember specifically whether the terminators have storm shields, but if they do, they're his best tool against the Carnifex. The dreadnought's best used against the genestealers and the hormagaunts.

As for the poor rolling on the shooting, there's naught anyone can do about that.

But yeah, don't worry too much about the points - BA like any space marine army pay a premium for their power armour, but the carnifex and genestealers often ignore it outright. This means they're paying points for something they don't really get any use out of.

In a larger match using armies constructed from a variety of different units and models, the points should roughly shake out to something resembling balance between your two forces.
>>
>>43867796
BA live off of drop pods and jump packs. Something not reaching where it needs to go? jump pack or drop pod. Probably drop pod, as they can't mishap unless they scatter off table. Also, take drop pods in odd numbers so that you get half rounded up in turn 1. Drop Pod flame templates and meltas are what stick out the most to me when looking at BA. That and Death Company with jump packs.
>>
>>43866653

I have no idea if you get it on Ravenwing, but speaking as a Green Tide player, one of the things that fucks me over the most is Hit and Run.

Normally, Blasts actually aren't that big of a deal. Properly spaced, you just won't take that many casualties. I've gone against 3 Wyverns with an Eradicator in support and I still won, because he just wasn't hitting enough Boyz with those shots.

That changed with Hit and Run. You have to bunch up in the Assault Phase; suddenly everything isn't nicely spaced but close together. With Hit and Run, you force the Tide to bunch up, then just leave. Yes, the Ork player gets a D6 consolidate move, but that's almost never sufficient to actually get everything back spaced out.

THEN you unleash your blast hell onto the packed masses.
>>
>>43867734
If he's getting demoralized about losing I suggest a different approach to the matches. Make it a small campaign with objectives and whatnot, try and get him invested beyond winning and losing. If you can enjoy the fight and the time spent, the outcome won't matter as much. So as much as it's a joke to some, forge that narrative.
>>
>>43867820
Heh I just noticed that.

Mind you a lot of people were saying that the codex has a lot of rules overlap and stinks of a rushjob. Or so I have been told.
>>
>>43867734
As a BA player, my advice is never expect to win and just accept that you're going to lose. you might even want to make it a game of keeping how badly you are going to lose to a minimum. Then you can try silly things like making a completely fluffy army and not really mind because you weren't going to win anyways. There's a certain zen or calmness that comes with playing with that in mind.

For example, I often use a BA captain with sanguinary guard. Those 2 units suck dick, but I wasn't going to win anyways, so I might as well use units I think are cool.

>>43867019

There's an argument to be made that your list is illegal, since it has Zhadsnark and Mek Gunz. His special rule disallows Big Gunz, which don't exist anymore, however the old Big Gunz are now part of the Mek Gunz.

From a pure technical perspective it's legal since Mek Gunz aren't Big Gunz, but, and I'm saying this as a fellow Ork player, it's very much against the intent of the rule and it's only passing because it's outdated.

As for the list itself. I've never found Killkannons to be worth the investment. 4 Rokkits on the battlewagon is great, but I'd shove a Ram on there for rerolling Dangerous Terrain.

You should be looking to incorporate a Deathstar of Bikes into the list. Zhadsnark is great but he really excels in a giant Biker Mob with a Painboy and, if you want to splurge the points, a Big Mek on Warbike with a KFF to help against Ignore Cover. He gives Scout and Skilled Rider to the entire unit, making it a major threat from turn 1. Minimum size biker units are great in a Zhard list since he makes them troops, so zoom around grabbing objectives. But your big Biker unit should definitely have a Nob with PK.

Consider as well just taking an Ork Horde detachment to unlock the extra HQ, and use those mandatory troops slots on more bikes. I've personally gotten a lot of mileage out of Tankbustas in Trukks (7-8 per trukk, no Nob) to keep them cheap but still effective.

This list won Storm of Silence this year, might be worth checking out for you.

The sad thing is when that formation came out all the other marine players were like "aw you fucking lucky pricks I wish I had that."

I always play very casual so I don't really go for the whole "buy these useless units for this broken formation". I have no use for twenty fucking Vanguard Vets! I already have 20 jump pack DC, 70 Assault Marines, about 10 JP characters and 20 Sanguinary Guard. I really don't need or want anymore jump infantry.

Add a Krootox or two
get that in the enemies backfield for suprise, try to tie up devastator or (with the krootox) go for the weaker side/rear armor of the tanks.
Remember Krootox has S6 in meelee.

I like the Pale Courts a lot. They're a lot more flexible than the standard Warhost, especially since you don't have to sink points into Vypers and Support Batteries if you don't want to.

The basic formation is made up of a Farseer and three Guardian Squads. However, the two Craftworld Traits you choose can modify that - if you chose Tomb-Ship of Fallen Heroes and Graveyard of Dreams, you could take a Wraithseer and three units of Wraithblades instead.

Alright, I'm making a Luna Wolves army to use as both 30k and 40k. In 40k, which Chapter Tactics do I run them with to make it Canon-friendly. Essentially, they're a lost Expeditionary Fleet that got sucked 10,000 years into the future. I'm currently thinking of a few different ones at the moment:

1) Salamanders (the Master Crafted weapons to reference that they have pristene Golden Age of Technology weapons, and the 4+ Feel No Pain to reference the fact that they are wearing MKIII stuff that is essentially solid blocks of Ceremite)
2) Red Hunters (naturally, the Inquisition are all-over a bunch of Traitor-descendants, so they drafted them in to work for them in exchange for not getting Cyclonic missiles shoved up their collective asses. It also works because of their ability to change their tactics on the fly.)
Star Phantoms/Fire Hawks (in 30k, they are deep-strike based, so tactics that helps them deep-strike)
4) Ultramarines (Luna Wolves were supposed to be good all-rounders. Ultramarines are best for this.)
>>
>>43869338

Firstly it's not Codex: Craftworlds getting this, it's Corsairs. Secondly, the ability to assault from DS has been kicking around for a while with Marines, Deldar and Harlies. World is yet to end because of it.
>>
>>43869356
Yeah, but actually i really like the narrative in this one. The cadia commander were actually really good. In the kauyon book, looks like the tau were playing all the time with the SM.
>>
>>43869360
Have you considered Star Phantoms?

I don't actually play them, but as far as I am aware, Luna Wolves focussed on overwhelming assaults and brilliant deepstriking. Star Phantoms do this really well, if you look up their tactics.

>>43869421
I believe it's strength 7 AP 4 or such but it's real grab is for every successful hit these weapons go up one in strength and down one in AP.

So you have a potential of shooting ten strength 10 AP 1 shots every turn.

>>43869425
My mistake sorry.
>>
>>43869421
St5 AP4 according to earlier rumours, but both stats improve by one for every hit, like Vibro-cannons do. So if you've got a squad of six and four hit, they'll be resolved at St9 AP1.

That said I wouldn't call it the best choice by far. St6 spam is so powerful that it's hard to beat Scatter Lasers. Personally I'm tempted by Splinter Cannons, though, since they're cheap and kick out so many shots.

This isn't even assaulting from deep strike (which is highly regulated even in the few cases that it's possible). This is assaulting after being moved to wherever you want on the battlefield with no chance of scatter and the only drawback being that you MIGHT take a few hits that you get to make saves against.

In first grand engament they march along IG and the SM. They scrap several tau tech and then active his beacon out of the battle, leaving his flank open to the tau counter-attack.
And they do this TWICE.

> are Dark Eldar truly that bad?

No. They're not as powerful as the top-tier books like Craftworld Eldar or Necrons, and suffer from being released during one of GW's intermittent periods of stripped down, back-to-basics, minimal special rules and upgrade choices rules design, but they remain a solid mid-level book with a wide variety of units and a very fun supplement.

No, you roll a D6 for every 6" you move; on a 1, the unit takes a single wound that can be saved. Considering most Corsair units have 4+ saves, and from what I've heard many can upgrade to 3+, it's virtually no risk whatsoever.
>>

In fairness too though you will be tossing at best the Eldar DC at the enemy. They are still toughness three bodies. With not THAT hard of a hit in melee.

Aiming to and actually achieving are two different things. Off the top of my head the only units that do that really well are the Harlequins and reaver jet bikes.

Mind you if you are playing Eldar right you will be aiming for the enemy's weak spots, not their strong points.

Um gee duh I dunno... Maybe because I can unload a whole squad of wraithguard into a Tau gunline turn one? Maybe because that wound thing is so rare it will probably barely ever happen?

How can you not see the advantages this has over a webway portal? You don't have to wait until turn two to roll for it to possibly come in. Where then the unit will sit there for a turn unable to melee.

So no, not the same benefits.

Whatever you dense cunt. Watch this be about as prominent in tournaments as every other DS assault gimmick. You're acting as if something that needs to be cast is as reliable as webway portal, which doesn't fail, inflict wounds or roll on an enhanced perils chart and can't be used with half as many melee squads. But no, why Deep Strike Raiders wherever you need them when you can do a bunch of psychic bullshit that might not work or even fuck you over.
>>
>>4386992
This fire don´t slow warp travel. But the tau don´t have wrap travel capability.

Tau develop a shield that allow his warships travel along the fire, but is very scarce right now.

In the end is a way to isolate the gulf and slow the tau expansion. On the next codex for sure, we will see another FTL tau development that overcome this nebula on fire

Monstrous Creatures can never join units unless they, or the unit, has a Special Rule that specifically allows them to. Still, given that he's almost two thirds as tough as a Wraithknight while being much harder to hide out of LoS that shouldn't be a problem.

Tau travel too slowly. Making them go around is almost as good as stopping them period. So I would guess, anyway.

>>43870041
No, because even if Farsight Enclaves makes battlesuits troops it doesn't alter the formation requirements.

Farsight Enclaves does, however, have its own decurion-style detachment, which does let you take the Retaliation Cadre (ie. commander and 3 battlesuit units, 1 broadside unit and a riptide) as your core formation instead of the standard Hunter Cadre. You lose the awesome decurion bonus, though, and the Optimised Stealth Cadre, although it does have some other nice formations.

btw, anybody notice the few changes they made to FSE special rules? Namely, you now may take the FSE signature systems instead of regular ones, rather than must take them, and Riptides can no longer take any signature systems despite the Earth Caste Piloting Array still lettign you reroll the nova reactor rolls (might be just because O'vesa still has the wargear).

AFAIK, there is no rule preventing a monstrous creature from joining a unit, merely one that prevents ICs joining monstrous creatures. So O'vesa and the few other characters that are both ICs and MCs could still join an infantry unit, as long as it contains no other ICs.

Can I ask a stupid question about the pale courts (>>43868953). Am I right in thinking the auxiliary and command choices are the ones in the main Craftworlds codex, not the ones in the Mymeara book?

Sorry, the must still use FSE ones, the wording's just a bit weird. It says that if they may take signature systems, they use FSE ones. Still only applies to characters, though, so bodyguards can take regular Tau ones. FSE signature systems are pretty iffy now, though, as Riptides can no longer take the ECPA, whcih was the really good one. Warscaper Drone is nice, though.

However one intresting thing is that aside from the Dawn Blade Contingent, which is alwasy a Farsight detachment, you can say that any detachment or formation in your army is from FSE. So I believe you could take the Hunter Contingent and have some of the formations that it's composed of use FSE rules and others the basic Tau Empire ones.

Aun'va died, although the Tau are covering up his death. He'll probably eventually get replaced with a new etheral supreme, but for now they're pretending he's still alive.
He's the only character with a model to die, although Pask is mentioned to have gotten gravely injured when his tank got blown up.
From the named characters introduced in the campaign, the colonel leading the IG on the planet dies (he's among the guardsment who don't make it off-planet before Admech uses their superweapon), as does the pathfinder team leader from the Burning Dawn box set (he prevents a Calidus assassin from killing Shadowsun by shielding her with his body).
Aside from that, at least two superheavy tanks and a shitton of Knights (mentioned to have been the largest numbers the house had lost in a single battle since the Horus Heresy) are destroyed, plus a large but indetermined number of Tau, guardsmen and marines and 3 of the 4 assassins (Culexus completes his mission by killing Aun'va and presumably exctracts when the Imperium retreats). In space, at least one light cruiser is lost with all hands on deck, and another cruiser is severely damaged and forced to retreat. The Tau loose all their orbital defence stations.
After all the crucial stuff (their own troops, marines and war machines) is evacuated, Admech deploys an archeotech torpedo that creates a planetwide firestorm, killing millions of Tau (everybody not in the planetary capital, which was protected by an energy shield; Shadowsun and other names characters were safely inside the shield so they survive), as well as all the guardsmen still on the planet (about 50% of the evacuating force), then use a bigger version of the weapon to ignite the nebulas of the Damucles Gulf, preventing the Tau from safely crossing it again, at least untill the Earth Caste develops better sheilds to protect their ships (they already have shields that allow them to theoretically survive the passage, but the failure rate is very high).

How are librarians in a pure Ravenwing lists?

Thinking about bringing one to ride with my Interrogator chap in the Ravenwing command squad for 1250.

I never used a pskyer before? Which power would I hope to roll for?

Can I have two Mace's of redemptions in the same CAD?

I have a Sammael I was originally going to take but if I get a librarian (or tell people my sammael is a librarian?) I could bring two attack bikes with meltas to add to the lone land speeder (and give that two meltas) on my list for a Ravenwing Attack Squad formation

As a newbie Tyranid player, what sort of problems are there? I've just been buying what sounds/looks cool and playing with my brothers. My list:

Flyrant with twin-linked brainleech devs

1 Warrior brood of 3. (from battlebox)
-lash whip/bonesword + rending claws
-Venom Cannon + Scytals
-Boneswords + deathspitter

1 brood of 9 Genestealers (battlebox)
-Adrenal glands on all
-Rending claws on all
-1 Ymgarl factor
-1 Broodlord with Adrenal and Rending

1 12-unit hormagaunt squad
-Adrenal glands

1 carnifex (battlebox)
-Stranglethorn cannon
-bone mace

I realize this is probably horribly unoptimized, but the battlebox units were built that way so that's what I did, mostly.
>>
>>43871494
But Riptides don't have the option to choose signature systems. Old FSE book had a mention under the signature systems that Riptides in a FSE list could take them despite not being character or having access to signature systems normally, but they've removed that in the Mont'ka rules.
The line is kind of weird, though, as there are no non-battlesuit units that could take signature systems to begin with (only commanders, bodyguards and XV8 squad leaders have the option to take them).

If you're allowed to take Devastator Centurions take them with grav cannons they are mad points efficient. Also run Skyhammer Annihilation force if you're allowed. Also have a small group of scouts for Scout/Infiltrate/Outflank shenanigans. Idea here's bringing heavy ranged firepower while you use the assault shit BA can do to help support that. It's like playing an MMORPG. Usual BA assault stuff tanks, Heavy Support guys are DPS, Librarian or two for healer support shit, Scouts for CC/kiting.

Haven't heard anything good about genestealers needs more guants.

Like a shit ton more gaunts. I have 30 Horma and two groups of 20 Termas at 1000 pts.

I also have two 2xtwin-linked brainleech devs Carnifexs but I may drop one and make the termas a group of 30 or whatever and fit in a 2nd dakka tyrant.

>>43871657
O'vesa still has the ECPA, so they could've kept the nova reactor effect for him, making it effectively a special rule for him. Without the rule, though, I don't think the system is really worth it. You pay 30 points to reroll 1s in shooting, which is pretty expensive, and it also drops you ws to 1, which is admittably not a huge penalty when the Tau don't generally want to go to melee anyway.

The FSE signature systems in general are pretty meh.
Warscaper Drone is actually very good, especially for markerlight commander, as you're going to spend so much time hopping in and out of cover that without move through cover you will lose drones to failed dangerous terrain tests. That it also gives you the option of outflanking and makes enemies near it treat difficult terrain as dangerous is a nice bonus.
The Talisman of Arthas Moloch is also actually quite good. While people usually consider psychic defence that doesn't work on blessing to be useless (because according to populat wisdom nobody ever uses anything but blessings), the Tau are pretty suspectible to psychic shriek (which shows up a lot due to being the primaris power in the invisibility school) and ld-affecting psychic powers due to having mediocre ld and few fearless models, so having 4+ deny on all units within 12'' of the bearer is nice. It also works as a slightly worse shield generator that doesn't take a support system slot.
Aside from that, they're not very good, though. Fusion Blades are pretty funny (a commander actually has lot of attacks and ws, so giving all his melee hits s8 ap1 actually makes him suprisingly good at fighting), but expensive and has a 1 in 6 chanse of breaking down whenever you use it, the Seismic Fibrilator Node is expensive and probably only works for 1, at most 2, turns, and the Mirrorcodex is effectively paying 50 points for +1 to seize, with a small chanse of also getting preferred enemy.

>>43871752
Well, they still have the restriction that in a FSE detachment you have to use their signature systems and warlord traits, but aside from the Farsight-decurion (which always counts as a Farsight detachment, similarly how the Ws and RG battle companies always count as their respective Chapter) you can freely choose if a detachment or formation is FSE or Tau Empire. I'd presume this would also apply to the individual formations in the Hunter Contingent, so a single Taucurion could have regular Tau and FSE formations.

>>
>>43871793
It's both. The Admech magos hands the admiral the torpedo that causes a firestorm on Agrellan, and then sayd he's going to take his cruiser and use the same technology to "bless" the Damocles Gulf. Shortly after the torpedo has been fired, he does so, igniting the entire Gulf.

Well, the weapon apparently worke dby igniting the nebulas in the Gulf, so firing it somewhere that doesn't have a huge cloud of gas nearby (which most planets tend not to have) wouldn't probably do much.

If running a typical Blood Angels army yes the guy is fucking amazing. But when trying to be more competitive a lot his skills and advantages are wasted. I say run him only if you have points leftover and replace one of your Librarians with him.

But for running something competitive, okay I am guessing you aren't allowed to Skyhammer, so you needa have these:

-2 to 3 Librarians; they are the most versatile HQ units you have
-At least 1 Scout squad maybe with transport as they are versatile and help objectives wise
-Any number of a combination of Stormtalon and Stormraven as these guys will be the ones who will take care of the Scatbikes/Necron Warriors; equip them for antiair if the Necron player has Nightscythes; Fire Raptor Gunships too if Forge World is allowed
>The rest is filling up requirements and having very heavy melta/grav/lascannon firepower that's to help take out Wraithknights in Eldar army and to take care of Riptides/antiair Tau stuff for example.

That's not exactly a unique torpedo. Igniting a planet's atmosphere is the second stage of a "regular" life-eater-virus exterminatus.

They've also been shown to use that kind of firestorm bomb against the tyranids.

>>43872331

"Igniting the nebulas in the gulf" not only wouldn't provide a navigational hazard, but so very transparently blantantly wouldn't provide a navigational hazard that the weapon must've done a fuck ton more than that if we are to consider it to have worked at all.

I've got mixed feelings on gaunts. The hormagaunts do their job pretty well as bullet-soakers and distractions, but they usually get smacked down before closing to melee. Though one hormagaunt did manage to kill a terminator who failed all his saving rolls.

Are termagaunts worth any investment?
>>
>>43872613
hormagaunts were better when they could pull turn-one charges off

termagaunts can make use of cover and don't need to suffer like three rounds of shooting to start doing damage

genestealers are shit in most games, but the second you play something like ZM they're fucking choice
>>
>>43872489
First that's a completely different issue. You were complaining about the empire wasting a superweapon on void space while it's been explicitly said that it's a weapon that work by igniting a nebula, so void space is the only place where it works. So your whining is completely stupid.

Second, the Damocle gulf was always been a gigantic space filled with nebulas that were hazardous to Tau space travel and the Tau had to find narrow passages between them to travel.

The whole point of the war for Agrellan was to actually gain a foothold beyond the Damocle Gulf. And it's been repeated clearly in the first paragraph of the book.

>The Damocles Gulf is a roiling and anarchic zone in the galactic east. For the Tau, it had long been an unnavigable space phenomenon that blocked their progress. The strange interstellar clouds wreaked havoc upon navigation apparatus and had long thwarted the Tau Empire’s expansionist plans, yet they had found that perseverance, technology and determination could overcome anything.
>During their Second Sphere Expansion, the Tau finally crossed the Damocles Gulf, finding hidden labyrinthine space lanes cutting through it. This breakthrough cost many lives, but once beyond the barrier, the Tau discovered everything they desired – mineral rich worlds and inhabitable planets that could be subsumed into their Empire.

FTL travel it's not instant teleportation. Even if the Tau could move twice the speed of light to travel around a zone of space of an hundred light years it would still take decades.

The weapon was stated to destroy all travel lanes the Tau discovered. So unless they find a new way to FTL or develop a new shelding the Tau are fucked.

>>
>>43872655
My genestealers have actually been the best performers. The special broodlord unit gives them a 4+ cover save even in open terrain, which means they don't take many losses before making the charge. The only unit they couldn't reliably kill was the dreadnought, which came down to a carnifex charge.

You make a good point about termagaunts. Would you recommend a tervigon/whatever to carry them across the field?

With Marines and guard being the emphasis here dude. You ran the worst shit with among the best. Large numbers of Orks works well there as meat shield covering ground. Pure orks is very VERY different. They are so meaty and not armor-y enough that it's a field day for shooters. Even if they had the speed to get right next to the opponent for epic assaults they are still too squishy.

It's always a little depressing to find someone who can't tell the difference between "possible in real life" and "Internally consistent".

>>
>>43872858
What >>43872742 said basically. Genestealers obviously have weaknesses but they are easier to cover up. Orks don't have that option. It's why something like CSM can be viable cuz a flying Nurgle Daenon Prince with The Black Mace and Invisibility can cover CSM weaknesses to the extent of being cheesy. Orks have no option like that.

You know that there are different kind of FTL travel you retard? Yes, you can travel around a nebulae, but if the nebulae is 50 light years across and you can move "only" five times the speed of light you are still travelling for 10 years. It may be possible in a physical sense, but it's a big enought impediment to stop any kind of meaningful expansion.

His stealth ability renders him basically untouchable as long as you don't get too close, and you can upgrade it to the point where he never has to uncloak. Detonation charges, satchels and grenades can be used while stealthed, which let him kill every single unit in the game in one or two hits.

>>

Oh my god.

Oh my christing god.

You really are that much of a dribbling imbecile that you just repeated my own point back to me and called it proof of the opposite.

Say it takes ten times longer to circumvent the nebula than cross it, because it's a flat disk shape at an inconvenient angle. Cool.

So now if you assume it takes ten years to cross one way, it takes one year to cross the other way.

You are now describing a type of FTL transport that takes an inconveniently long time to cross the nebula, let along the much larger interstellar space between the nebula and anything of interest.

Tau FTL is in the 5-10 times slower range compared to Imperial averages dude. Slow enough that they can only maintain the infrastructure of a small empire, not slow enough that it takes them years to cross the Damocles Gulf.

Internal travel times in the Tau empire are measured in months, dude. It hasn't taken them years to navigate their own territory since the second sphere or earlier.
