Maybe they'll show up in IA14 or it'll be another second edition.

Just find something to prevent them from shooting or makes them feel guilt at shooting.
A: Throw a big mean ugly daemon engine or Kharn or Abby in the middle of them. They'll be busy trying to find a good shot while you murder their friends while using the ones that haven't died as cover. If they kill you with a riptide, they'll kill their friends and live with the guilt.

>>44303262
Right, but it's like charging in with basic marines. You usually only do it when you're sure it'll finish a unit off.

Do Tau have music? I always wondered about that.

We go forward and hit things. And if its still there after we hit it the first time. We hit it again.

Quick question, the CSM Codex says the Warp Talons get 2 attacks with the champ and 1 with the regulars. If I have two lightning claws on my Warp Talons, how many attacks do I get for each?

>>44303795
2 for the regular, 3 for the champ.

If there's an ability or special rule that forces you to take snapeshots, does it means no flamers except in over watch?

>>44304027
Yes

>>44303863
Lifta Droppa ignores AV, but is restricted by ork BS.

Zzap kannon has a d3 shot cousin but it's just as unreliable.

Smasha gun is more reliable but it still struggles to get to Av 14.

Blitza booma is technicly ranged, even thoug it has to move over the enemy to deliver it's payload.

There's also the Kill Blasta and Kill Bursta tanks, first fires s10 ap 2 shots.
The other can launch sD ap2 7" large pies, big enough to hit most of a LR squad, though the tank cost about as much as a squad of them too...

Not at all, it's actually pretty useful, and gives your squad some melee versatility.

I run either Power Mauls/Combi-Flamers, Combi-Flamers/LC, or Combi-Melta/Chainfist.

For the record, ALWAYS take Lightning Claws over Power Swords if you're going to go that route. You lose nothing by taking it and gain Shred.

Power Mauls when facing Guard are fucking murderous.

Power Axes are kind of a waste if you're running Slaaneshi terminators, as are Fists/Chainfists, but they can still be useful.

Never underestimate the strength of a Reaper Autocannon in the right place, and Heavy Flamers mix really well with Combi-Flamers.

Hey,
I"vet been looking over armored battle group lists online and I notice that several include bane blades or other lords of war. IA 1: 2nd edition doesn't mention any access to lords of war at all, despite the book being full of them. Wha am I missing?

How lame would it be for me to split my 1000 point army in half and setting up on my 4x4 table to try and help me learn and remember rules and profiles.

I am still really sloppy mechanically and think it would help.

so...no new Red Scorpions next year?

>>44304314
Because it's an inferior version of Zone Mortalis.

DoW Anon here. I think I know why the game keeps crashing on me. It's Ulkair. It has to be. Every time I'm near the third temple before I get to the one near Kyras, I summon Ulkair. Maybe I shouldn't go over 100 troops, but I know it just has to be Ulkair. My computer can't handle him and Kyras together. Framerate got slower as I went to Kyras after knocking over his final skull tower and Ulkair was there.

Why would that be lame? That'd be smarter than 90% of 40k players who just herp the derp and claim 40k doesn't take skill to play despite having no idea how to play 40k well, then when you tell them how ignorant they are and demonstrate complex/multi-stage tactics they say you're "abusing the rules".

Practicing the game and going through the motions properly, and sticking to them, will help drill and reinforce more efficient play and remove your sloppy habits. But that's only if you actually stick to it and do ti right. If making the game smaller helps you focus, then do what you have to do.

>>44304490
Just make sure to use good amounts of terrain and roll for random edges so you have to optimize deployment.

>>44304584
Not desert, just regular old dirt/stone. Mainly so I can switch from surface terrain to underground stuff without needing multiple tables.

All the catastrophic spaceship stuff in ZM would be like having an earthquake, dust explosion or tunnel collapse.

Anything that is tall and wide enough to block an entire squad or MC from line of sight. Should have more than one or two. Ideally one on each table corner and in the middle of the board. The size of a small shoebox should be good.

To follow up on what he said, if you can paint them, just try painting the differing ones a seperate color so you and your opponent can tell at a glance.

No limit on what kind of gear you can give them.

Get yourself a codex and check the weargear and such.

Good way to start is 1 Klaws, 2 big choppa, one Kombi Skorcha (flamethrower) and one guy with a boss pole

Always take the bosspole for WS5 and consider converting a large impressive banner using one of the 2-handed big choppas as a base.

Dang it. I wanted to ally an IG pakisher and some artillery while SM took the Field but my autism prevents me from taking 9 Man tactical squads. Guess i'll just renounce my space-Magic For now and stick to my original Plan.

There's people who hope for Tzeetnch daemonkin

People who hope for CSM

People who hope for Sisters

And then you.

>>44305475
If that is your goal you can take a First Company Strike force.

Sternguard veterans in drop pod that debuff leadership go very well with librarian conclave.

Or you can go with scouts as troops and sternguards veterans in pods with Pedro Cantor as a HQ.

IG that hold the line while scouts advance and Space Marine Veterans drops to take objectives is very fluffy.

they don't have any big kit to sell with the daemonkind book. daemonkind was the 40k tie in to the new bloodthrister kit. sure they could make some new plastic greater daemons but that's a pipe dream. grey knights and dark eldar were quick but gw doesn't wanna do that for every army.

I have a Tzeentch Daemons army, but honestly I'm not super happy with it. All the random pre-battle rolls preclude both personality in characters and broader strategy than spamming shit.

There's also that in theory, flickering fire is meant to stand in for shooting, but yeah after playing in a modified kill team with 500 points of Daemons where the power consistently failed to kill single, single wound models... I haven't even bothered trying it in real games.

>>44306016

Well, what kind of stuff do you use? Mono God isn't usually all that great.

>>44305631
The problem is in the points cost. At 1500 (The usual size of the tournaments in my closest shop) after the paskisher combo, a melta-veterans squad, a couple of wyverns (130 points of awesone) and the librarius i just have 300-400 points to spare.
I'll most likely get a CAD of tacticals if i decide the librarius anyway but I'll most likely just get 1 librarian and run the marines as allies.

>>44304695
Just use the vehicle formations you dunce. There is a vehicle core formation.

>>44305180
I wouldn't mind. I don't mind a bit of Ork humour (who doesn't?) but parts of that page get fucking retarded and annoying.

>>44306068

Honestly?

I ended up after a while using a 20 flesh hound blob as my get shit done unit. They go out and win the match for me whilst my psykers, flamers and big guys dick around the fringes alternating between supporting the Flesh Hounds and trying to find a middle ground between doing nothing of value and being broken horseshit like a biomancer prince and summon spam.

Turns out, there is not a middle ground. Srsly my woofs pretty much are my army.

>>44306110
I'll keep the actually fun shit, but the constant banter with inquisitors blamming and such is an eyesore.

ATM I'm folding many of the sub entry shit into the main article, cleaning it up, putting stats on weapons, removing "back in 5th edition this did X".

>>44306157
Ok cool.

Just a remember to keep the personality and intent of the page intact, don't go deleting vast swathes without very good reason.

Other than that beat of luck.

>>44306016
Outside of Screamerstar, which isn't that good anymore, Tzeentch Daemons are okay at best. The change in how psychic powers are manifested neutered their shooting, and the fact that only one psyker in a unit can cast a given power managed to neuter the Tzeentch deathstar builds while still leaving them as extremely unfun builds to play against.

>>44306114


>>44306239
This.

As a fellow daemons player, I recommend mixing and matching units without limiting yourself to a god. The faction is incredibly fun and varied if you do that and, best of all, you will get shit done everywhere, as opposed to that one group of pissed off woofs.

>>44306157
>I'll decide what's worth keeping
Thank god we all have the same tastes as you. .

>>44306239

Yeah, I don't really do deathstars anyhow. (I'm not sure anyone plays psychic powers that "One Psyker per unit" way though, the phase kinda falls apart if you break it down like that? Not that it matters to me, I don't have any multi-Psyker units)

But essentially my psykers are caught between ineffectuality or summon spam and Biomancy, with Cursed Earth being the only middle ground of a reliably great but non-absurdly good power.

I have yet to find something useful for a Lord Of Change to do besides combat and contributing to summon spam.

Is there anything wrong with my brother using Beakies for his Sgts?

>>44306399
no

>>44306369
Laser things to death?

>>44306399
Not especially, I use beakies whenever I want to do a stupid pose.

>>44306414

With what? His power lists are one full of shooting buffs (in an army with no shooting) Daemonology, and Change.

>>44306343
Feel free to assemble a think tank to brainstorm and dicuss the new direction, if you're lucky you'll be done by the time of 8th.

Untill then it's up to humourless faggots to cut the fat.

Or you.

So er.. what that phrase? put up or shut up?

>>44306343
So, what? We never edit the page again to get rid of shit that's dumb? If we all had that attitude the tactics pages would get bogged down in bollox.

I'm all for someone going at it. And if we don't like it we can always revert it.

>>44306369
While the core of the psychic phase is fantastic, it still needs a lot of refinement.

A lot of powers, especially witchfires, need buffed while a couple need nerfed. The tables need to be made less random. Everybody needs access to some sort of psychic defense.

The problems that daemons have would be easier to fix by giving the lesser daemons their own unique way to cast spells, where they don't generate warp charge or spells but instead just know one or two spells that they cast with a leadership test.

>>44306369
a lot of ppl have misread how manifesting psychic powers work i think.

a "psychic unit" is not for example a unit comprised of 3 IC who are psykers.
Each psyker is an independent psychic unit.
If all 3 know invis, then all 3 of them could attempt and fail or pass to cast invis.

Brotherhood of the psyker such as what Warlock conclave have is different, and that unit could not attempt to manifest the same power more than once.

>>44306622
>house ruling choosing powers

Seriously nigger? Do you want everything to have invis, iron arm and endurance?

>>44306013
Dont run autocannon on the drake, dont buy t3 infantry for 10ppm.

>>44306598

Lesser Tzeentch Daemons need specific, reliable psychic shooting attacks back, yes. Maybe have them generate Psyker points as a battery if they refrain from shooting?

I'm also a fan of the idea of making all disciplines have D3 powers, so a mastery 3 Psyker can choose to master a discipline. Just make sure there's no invisibility style power that single-handedly distorts the game around itself.

>>44306622

Fine if you also extensively house rule power lists to have extreme high end auto takes.

>>44306622
Would that I could, but most people are perfectly happy to claim that 40k is a casual game while also maintaining that everything must be played entirely RaW.

Speaking of RaW,
>>44306611
>>44306369
The rules are clear that a unit can only cast a given power once a phase. It's stupid, and it could be due to GW being fucking awful at wording things.

>>44306717
>The rules are clear that a unit can only cast a given power once a phase. It's stupid, and it could be due to GW being fucking awful at wording things.
Not when some special characters have rules that let them cast the same multiple times.

>>44306680
I'd make them all D3 tables, where each number has two powers that you get to choose between. Then just tweak them so that they're all a bit closer in power.

What I'd really like to do is make it so that individual psykers generate more warp charge but also make it so that psykers can't sharge warp charge. Then make sharing warp charge a special rule tied to units like seer councils, daemonic heralds, librarius conclaves and the like.

>>44306778
How does characters having special rules that give them exceptions make the core rules any less clear?

>>44306717

Near as most folk can tell, they're just failing to adequately distinguish between "Psyker unit" and "Unit containing one or more psykers".

It implodes a little bit if you don't give them the benefit of the doubt.

There's a reason I have more fun playing Tau than Daemons.

>>44306813
It does not, it makes the core rules more clear an removes the argument of it being down to poor wording.

>754.M37 The Dissidence Dreams (The Lost Crusade)

>On thousands of planets, menials rebel against their dreary drudge with wild-eyed leaders espousing a better way of life – a galaxy of tolerance. The movement is especially popular amongst the youth, earning it the title of Children’s Crusade. Billions of earnest pilgrims are lured to seek transport to Terra; some are waylaid by pirates but the majority disappear into the Warp.

--------------------------

>666.M38 Grim Harvest

>A great armada of misshapen hulks drifts out of the Warp near Terra. Some of the twisted and fused ships can still be identified as transports carrying pilgrims from the Lost Crusade. The Inquisition works feverishly to cover up the fleet’s existence and its cargo of abominations.

Is this the most cynical and grimdark piece of fluff in 40K?

>>44306852
Ah yes, I love this bit of fluff.

Gave me the chills reading it the first time.

>>44306796

You know it's condescending to post the text of the rule being discussed when everyone discussing the rule has the book, right?

"My position is right because I have a camera and/or screenshot button"

>>44306717
>>44306796

If you go by RARC (rules as retards claim) and apply all cases of "a unit" in the Psychic Phase section as meaning "the entire unit IC are part of" the entire psychic phase falls apart and become full of bullshit.

RAW doesn't mean that you have a free pass to be retarded. When the tanks paragraph talk about how a vehicle can tank shock it's clear that it's referring to vehicles that are also tanks and you don't get to tank shock with every vehicles.

>>44306870
No, my position is right because it openly contradicts what you are saying.

It's pretty clear. I don't really get how there is an issue here.

>>44306870
Not the guy that posted it, but the rules are clear. There is no discussion to be had as far as RaW are concerned. In situations like this, posting the rules is helpful.

>>44306870
Tumblr'est post of the day.

>>44306870
Posting 'interpretations' when bold text in the brb tells you otherwise deserves you condescension.

>>44306852

No, because without further context it's just a random thing that happened to a random group of people who happened to be optimists.

>>44306891
>>44306900

No, your position is wrong because you are a faggot who is unable to understand that you can't just take a single phrase outside it's contest.

>>44306932
I can post the entire paragraph of you like. It doesn't change anything, the ruling is very clear.

>>44306870
If we don't rub his face in it how else is he supposed to learn to read twice before posting once?

>>44306932
>Robing a bank is illegal.
>'I think we need more context here'
top kek, and not that context isn't relevant, but it doesn't support you.

>>44306906

It's far tumblr-ier to assume someone disagreeing with you must know nothing, rather than just has a differing opinion.

>>44306717
nope, you just can't read. Go back and read what it says.
The rule clearly states "psychic unit", a psyker is a psyhic unit. A unit comprised of psykers is not.
3 farseers in a unit is not a psykic unit.
Each and all 3 of the farseers could manifest the same power.
brotherhood of the psyker units are different.

read the rules

>>44307000
He is reading the rules.

If you actually read what is posted above, you will note it says no unit can attempt to manifest, not psychic unit.

>>44306953
The paragraph say:
>Assuming you have enough Warp Charge points, you can alternate back and forth between the same PSYKER UNIT in this way, but no UNIT can attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once per Psychic

You don't need to be a master linguist to understand that the second instance of unit is just a repetition of the first. You only need basic reading comprension.


>>44306975
>Robbing a bank or a house is illegal
>Guys! It clearly says "a house is illegal", it means that all houses are illegals!

>>44306991

Opinions mean shit, you are either right or wrong.

>>44306796
your pic supports what i am saying

learn to read

a psychic unit is a farseer
a unit of farseers is not a psychic unit, each individual psyker is
a unit of warlocks has brotherhood of the psyker, the unit is a psyker unit

What's the meta like in your regular group, /tg/?

3 Chaos players
2 Dark Eldar players
1 Tau player he hasn't won a single game in a months

>>44307033
This is true.

At least if some logic is to be found.

>>44306891
yes, raw it is totally clear. That is why Nova, Adepticon, ITC and ETC FAQs all answer idiot questions from people like you.

1 farseer is a psyker unit
a unit of farseers is not a psyker unit
the rule states a psyker unit may only manifest X

therefore, each and every individual psyker unit may attempt to manifest

dont spout nonsense if you dont understand the rules and are just arguing with the standard rules being played across the world

if you want to sit in your bedroom and misinterpret shit thats fine, but dont try to convert others

>>44307027
Incorrect and a false parallel. 10/10 best post. Mayonnaise is a gender.

>>44307078
Not even against the Dark Eldar players?

How can one player be that bad?

This is why anyone who tries to rules lawyer the book instead of read it in the tone it was written should be put on some sort of registry and denied entrance to stores, clubs and tournaments.

GW write their rules in a very casual tone. This might lead to pickup games being a lot shittier, and power gamers running more rampant, but it is how it is. Going HURR STRICT RAW instead of, y'know, reading what the book is fucking saying, makes things worse. Every time.

>>44307091
I find it weird how passionate you are getting over this, and claiming how I am "converting" people, yet more people have disagreed with you than agreed with you so far on this.

But whatever man. I'm sure you know better than... everyone else.

>>44307122
>rules as written =/= what the book is saying
because when there is no room for interpretation there aren't abuses and pick and choosing. house-rules are fine, but don't be a retard.

After reading the rules a bit closer, I have to apologize for saying that the rules were clear and I've switched over to supporting the idea that a unit that has multiple psykers can cast multiple instance of the same psyker, as long as each psyker only casts the power once.

All sorts of other weird inconsistencies start popping up otherwise, like a psyker being able to cast any of the powers that another psyker in the unit knows, since the rules just say to select a power that "the selected unit" knows.

>>44307078
One Tyranid/Necron/SW player
One BA/GK/WS player
One Iyanden/CSM player
One Salamander/Knights/Skitarii player
One Tau/IG/Iron Warriors player
One Ork/Aspectdar player

>>44307122
But in the real world it's the opposite, they are denied entry into gaming groups and private clubs and instead banished to the outer dark along sweaty puggies, WAACers and tourneyfags.

>>44306448
I'm semi-certain you can roll on the other tables.

>>44307168
True, but Unit =/= psycker unit.

>>44307100
>No one can enter a house without the permission of the owner, but if one enter a house it will be punished.

There you idiot. The exact same wording. Just like you take the " no unit can attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once per Psychic" without the first part to which it's clearly referring when it say "a unit" you can take the "if one enter a house it will be punished" without the first part to obtain a different thing.

Now go away and think about what went wrong in your life to be this much of a faggot.

>>44307027

Your illegal house analogy is freaking perfect for how EXACT RAW retards think.

Again, GW don't write like they're writing a technical manual. As much as that's probably a bad thing, acting like they do makes it ten times worse.

>>44307194
Yeah this is my biggest hang up. If they really did mean it the way this guy is saying, then why do they use "psyker unit" all the way down this page, yet this one bold line is the only one that says "unit."

If it had "psyker unit" there I would be agreeing. But it doesn't. So I'm not convinced.

How does the new guard tank table you roll on work? What do you need to do/have to roll on it? I'm a bit lost is it a part of the formations?

>>44306923
But they were children.

Think of the children, anon.

>>44307175

A Lord of Change can roll Divination, Change and Daemonology.

Of those, only Daemonology is helpful and it's based around summon spam rather than direct shooting.

>>44307233
Because
>between the same Psyker units in this way, but no unit can

sounds a lot better and it's more correct than

>between the same Psyker units in this way, but no Psyker unit can

because you know, unnecessary repetitions are grammatically bad. And it's clear to everybody that has a brain that it's still referring to psyker units.

/tg/ do you like playing against people who don't care if they win? As in - the person across the table from you just wants to roll dice and have fun. He doesn't do anything overtly stupid or suicidal but he clearly is just there for the experience and socializing.

The most Grimdark piece of fluff would presumably start with the line:

"Lord Inquisitor Grimmus Darkus grimly stalked the dark halls of the Darkgrim class Black Ship Grimdark..."

>>44307387

Yes.

>>44307078
Five Tau armies, two necrons, six orks, maybe eleven space marines, one KDK,
one other CSM player, three eldar, one dark eldar, two space wolves and maybe three IG.

Only different armies would be one of each of, Dark angels, blood angels, and minor admech that doesn't show up very often.

>>44307387

Anyone besides the biggest cunt would enjoy an opponent like that. This is the click-bait of TG questions and I just ate it up.

We have an Ork guy who understands his army isn't winning anything and through kit bashes he fields crazy annoying things like Mek Gun spam or warbuggie horde.

Last week he brought 21 defkoptas.

Don't think I know that one. But that's exactly what I'm talking about. Every time I think I've plumbed the depths of the grimdark, something even worse comes along.

Its seem a strong list. The only thing I would remove is the tactical squad. Without special weapons their only role would be to take objectives, and with the same points you can take two units of scouts in Land speeder storms or things much better at it.

Also I can't really see an use for the second librarian. Tigurius go with the Centurions, but him?

A handful of tards in here spreading misinformation and misinterpretations of psyker rules.

Clearly none of you have left your moms basement or at best have played at your local GW store with other inbred rednecks playing the basic entry level store version of 40k

none of you have ever gone to a GT, anything resembling a tournament.

none of you follow or complete in anything remotely resembling actual competitive 40k

gtfo with your rules nonsense

go read some FAQs for any of the top tournies and realise that ALL psychic units in the game are played as being allowed to cast multiple versions of the same power

stupid dumb muppets

>>44307564
Read all the phrase you retard, not just the words you need for your inane argument.

Also know that you are arguing that all pysker in a unit know each other powers as in all instances is worded that you select a power the unit know.

Only if you assume that 'psyker unit' refers to the entire unit, which it clearly does not, which is why the different wording would be pertinent.

First thing in Jan is apparently new "start boxes" for a few armies and rereleasing a load of spray cans. Too lazy to repost the pics, see >>44307727 and >>44307743. They claim these have discounts of 30-40%, I'm also too lazy to add it up myself to see if that's true.

If you HAVE to go at frontal/side armour:

Loads of Rokkits can glance it to death though 10 of them will take ~1 HP per turn.

Blitza-bommas can crack them, though it's psudo melee.

The Zzaps guns S2d6+d6, or the smasha's s4+d6+d6

LoW also offer some anti russ power.

A Big mek can potentially do it with his SAG though the odds are low.

Ok, run an Iron Hands chapter master on a bike with a 1+ Feel No Pain. Whenever a transport blows up, insist on the wounds being Randomly Allocated. Insist that any Gargantuan Creatures can only fire 2 weapons. See how quickly they change that attitude.

Exalted Court - 5 Knights of any type. Everyone here's now a Character, gain +1 to their WS/BS, and can each select a relic. The Warlord gets +2 to his WS/BS and +1 to Ion Shield saves, can select a relic, can re-roll Warlord Trait and re-rolls to-hit in challenges

>>44308297
Or it might be the OTHER Exalted court.

The Exalted Court of House Terryn (limited edition 800 bucks formation) - Requires 2 Knight Wardens, 1 Knight Crusader, One Knight Paladin, and One Knight Errant. Everyone's a Character and gets Weapon Skill 5 and Ballistic 5. In addition, they can each select relics.
The High King (Knight Warden): WS/BS 6. Adds 1 to ion shield invulnerable saves and re-rolls all failed to hit rolls when fighting in a challenge. If the High King is your warlord, he has the Knight Seneschal Warlord trait.
The Herald (Knight Crusader): The herald and all models in this formation within 12" of him re-roll ion shield invulnerable saves of 1 and can fire overwatch even though they are Super-Heavy Walkers
The Kingsward (Knight Paladin): If the High King is within 6" and suffers a glancing or penetrating hit, you can roll a dice; on a 2+, the Kingsward suffers the hit instead.
The Master of Judgement (Knight Warden): The Master of Judgement reroll failed charge rolls and failed to hit rolls during the first round of each close combat.
The Gatekeeper (Knight Errant): The Gatekeeper has the counter-attack special rule and all of his ranged weapons have the Interceptor special rule.

>>44308252

not 2vs1 tho. that said, you could always take a screamerstar and buff skarbrand/dThirster with the grimoire and cursed earth for 2++

>>44308728
How do you get the screamerstar?

I have never used nor do I know what makes it, which is weird because I am a daemon player.

>>44308718
warp spiders

>>44308746
you take screamers of tzeentch and heralds of tzeentch on discs. give one the grimoire and let him/them roll on daemonology, pray to get cursed earth.
can even buff itself to have a 2++ rerollable. just keep in mind that grimoire only works on 3+

It interchanges between "psyker units" and "units" frequently throughout the rules for the psychic phase.

My personal favorite is that the Perils rules make absolutely no sense unless you assume that all references to "unit" are talking about a specific psyker unit

~30,000pts. per side.

I brought a Death Korps Armored Company. Friendly Thunderbolt took down the shields of a Warhound Titan. My tanks did the rest. Killing blow was struck by a Leman Russ Vanquisher "Mother Puncher". Warhound went critical and took out about 3,000pts. of various Orks and Chaos, and did some damage to an Eldar Revenant(?) behind it. The Revenant spent the rest of the game hiding behind a building and the Guard players rolled the center of the table. Thorough victory. The fat guy running the Warhound nearly had a heart attack when it popped. He threw this little stress ball he had across the game store and yelled "I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PLAY WITH IT."

Good times.

>>44308790
Not really. I just Smart Missile System spam them to death.

To make things even stupider, anyone that insists on a super-strict RaW approach to the psychic phase also must insist that Independent Characters only generate Warp Charge if they are alone, since only Psyker "units" generate Warp Charge. This wording also carries over into the rules for manifesting psychic powers, where you choose a "Psyker unit." While a Librarian in a Tactical Squad has the Psyker special rule, the unit does not and therefore will not generate any Warp Charge and cannot manifest powers.

7000 points or so, 3v3 with 1700 points for each player and then each side had an allowance for additional Titans. It was Chaos, deamon engines and orks vs Space marines, IG, and more IG. Chaos had a Stompa and I think three warhounds, Imperials had a Reaver and two Warhounds, whatever difference there was made up in points.
I spent most of the game fighting a guy's Hellforged Hunting Pack with my dreadnought army and a Knight Errant I borrowed from a friend.
The most badass part for me was my ironclad dreadnought beating down two of his hellbrutes but for the whole game it was probably the Reaver titan punching a warhound to death and dying in the explosion.

>>44309605

RAW doesn't work, period. There are dozens and dozens of instances that simply don't make sense and don't work RAW. It's full of contradictions and game-stopping errors. Luckily 90% of the time it's obvious as fuck what the RAI really is, and the other 10% is FAQ'd...eventually.

>>44309682
The point is that GW is incompetent and that any claim that multiple psykers in a unit together can't cast the same spell as long as they each know it is impossible to support without having to invalidate almost all psykers.

>>44309150

We did an Apoc game of around 20K points from memory.

>What was the most badass moment in that game?

This was a few editions ago, but Orks used to be able to take a strategy card that let them drop D3 Roks on the board, which was represented by Apocalyptic Blast templates that scattered D6 feet. No, not inches, feet. I rolled up 3 on my first turn and decided to drop them.

I killed 2 Monoliths, a squad of Necron Warriors, another squad of Immortals, half a squad of Deffkoptas and a Tomb Spider. On my side. I killed one Guardian of the enemy's.

No-one's been game to ally with my Orks in Apoc since then.

>>44309605

The Librarian is still an IC unit even if attached to another unit. A better example would be requiring the same chapter tactics in a single detachment, but vehicles don't have chapter tactics, so you can't have vehicles in space marine armies.

And for the faggot who tries to say the wording was right on GW's part, 0 does not equal 1. If something "must have the same chapter tactic", a complete absence of chapter tactics ISN'T "the same chapter tactic".
