Relatable since they're humans and have lives just like we do. But they're also kinda worthless.

Had to lie it on the side and leave most of the limbs off... But yes, a Killa Kan makes a brilliant base piece for a Y'varha. This was a good call.

I can use some scrap from the other limbs to fill in the rest of the base afterwards.
>>
>>44388899
>for the hunter cadre
Who the fuck needs this shit? Just take retaliation cadre+osc/heavy retribution+drone net for marker lights.
>>
>>44388899

Honestly, the base Fire Warriors are space filling cannon fodder for when they have more soldiers than they can build suits.

Less expansionistic Tau would prolly not even field them, not needing the extra numbers so much.

Think I found the bait...
>>
>>44388999

Ha ha, yes. More expensive than 150 points+ On just sitting there passively buffing a few things. With buffs you can mostly achieve with markerlights anyhow.
>>
>>44389027
Then you should play with eldars , crons, demi-companies and warconvos. Shit, most of codexes can play well against “cheese“ tau.
>>
>>44388914
That poor Kan... he could have been with 14 of his brothers instead

It was and is a gimmick, but with the new Tau macro-formation it is actually good at its job.

Balanced games aren't inherently interesting, the Hunter contingent adds some thought to the point and click nature of some Tau builds.
>>
>>44389153

Two weapons, you can buffshare the same benefits for 3 marker hits with combined fire.

The Neurochip is more worthwhile, but doesn't keep you from taking your two weapons.

Could make him cower behind some wreckage instead of running
>>
One fairly neglected Commander option is the one weapon variant. Specifically, take that one forge world signiature system that grants a marker light and target lock for 20 points, then add either a missile pod for a bit of punch to go with your BS5 split fire marker, or a flamer for overwatch.
>>

There's a stikkbomb brandishing model, might have him pinned under wreckage and trying to toss it?

>>44389390
That actually sounds great

Yeah, no. Strong and simple are not synonyms. Of the 'good' armies Tau suffer most from simplicity, the addition of actual choices in-game is appreciated.

War Convo has more decision making than Tau, and same for Necrons or bikes.
>>
>>44389583
Pffff. By Tau you mean Necrons right?

>let me just walk my dudes up the field and they will never die.

With Tau you at least have to know everyone's army, target prioritize and position yourself to keep from being assaulted.

>>44389994
I'm pretty sure melta and las weapons only make cracking sounds from the air around them heating up rapidly.
>>
Ok so I'm thinking about getting into Grey Knights and about to pick up my first box of 10 strike guys. I'm going to build it as 2 squads of Interceptors with teleport homers to bring in some non-scatter terminators.

What is the general consensus on their loadout? Their main use is to shunt up the board, call in the terminators, then jump around harassing or going after objectives. I'd imagine they'd have 2 incinerators, but what about their melee loadout? Should I bother with halberds, or put a hammer on the justicar? Falchions? Keep em with the stock loadout?

>>
>>44390098
As long as you opponent (and you) wont have to stop mid-game to confirm who he is and what he is carrying anything goes.

>>44390108
Washing up liquid is a bit on the weak side, never had much result with it.

Personally I use some cheap heavy duty potassium soap for it, one with plenty of potash/potassium hydroxide.
Look for something with a PH value of about 10-11, wear gloves and seal up the minis and agent with as little air as possible, contact with air slows and weakens the reaction.
>>
>>44390098
well i aim for the same size and bits/weapons like the model. also it's painted how the real model would be.

I'd enjoy reading it:

on an unrelated note, can a vet squad with 3 flamers fire all their flamers on the same unit?
>>
>>44390338
I posted most of that knowing there would be black lash, because Coldstar is considered terrible.I thought and in depth explanation would be required anyways, so I just put it all out there.

>>44390370
Not bait. I truly want someone to refute me because I actually believed what I typed.
>>
>>44390426
They have too. Unless you have split fire.
>>
>>44390426
Of course. I'm not sure what argument you have in your head against flaming the same unit.

Another thing to remember is that it's all done at the same time, so you cover as much as you can with each template then roll to wound all together before any models are removed. That and that the template is the range of the weapon, so any models that were farther away than where the template hit can't be wounded.

>>
>>44390508
As long as it has three FIRE points you can fire all 3 flamers or of the Taurox and they must be at the same unit
>>
>>44390769
The Taurox has two fire points on each side
>>
>>44390769
Yeah fire points, not access points my bad.

>>44390702
Take the flame template and place the beginning at each of the fire points and if it lands over anything then you scored a hit.

At least that's how I remember it working.
>>
>>44390798
That sounds incredibly inconvenient for flamers but then you can only fire 2 flamers at the same unit
>>
>>44390835

>>
>>44391481

There is no logic to Tau BS skills, and anyone pretending otherwise can present a partial explanation at best.

It's all purely balanced around markerlights boosting BS.
>>
>>44391481
BS is eyesight, reflexes, coordination and training, training, training.

Just look at nids, entire genuses evolved solely to lauch projectiles, homing ammunition bred with a desire to hit, sentient guns and yet BS 3 is the norm among them.

Hey /tg/. this Christmas I went back and found a box of really old Orks, my first ever army. As a little side project I have started to restore them but they're so awful I can't believe my past self made them.

Not only are some parts missing but many of the models are simply put together wrong, the hands of drivers and bikers reaching out in to thin air, arms glued on upside and in one case an old ork trukk that has been repaired by with the wheels of a dwarf flame cannon on the side of it.

Have you ever run in to this type of thing /tg/?

I received Logan Grimnar for christmas. Now it's time to build it, paint it and then put it away because with the current rules there isn't really any possible reason to play it, except if you need to nerf your army to play against Orks

What I don't get about this game, is why is power armour considered useful when nobody dies?

Just don't glue him to the Santamobile so you can field him normally.

That for sure. About that, I have a question for everyone that already has the model: is the sled big enough to contain him with the base or I have to use magnets to be able to put him on both?

Alright, so I asked about the Interceptors earlier, now about these Terminators. They'll be my troops choice so I'm wondering if the following is a decent general loadout:

4 halberds, 2 psycannons, 1 hammer.
>>
>>44393283
it's big enough
>>
>>44393582
halberds are generally not that great.

psycannons and hammer looks fine.
>>
>>44393582
Scratch the second psycannon, I read the entry wrong. So only 1 psycannons.
>>
>>44393582
Compared to Terminators, are Paladins worth taking? 5 man squad with 2 psycannons?
>>
>>44390175
This sounds like fun
>>
>>44393772
They are insanely expensive and only have a 5+ invuln.

So no.
>>
>>44393772

Usually, but killing them with massed S8 Ap2 or higher is fucking hilarious.
>>
>>44393772
Paladins with Draigo or a Grandmaster are one of my friends' staple squads and they kick all kinds of ass whether I field my CSM, Tau or Necrons. GK are pretty fucking good honestly with all those free psychic powers, great wargear, popping off spells easily and all that shit.

Christmas Model questions edition

1. Am I right that the best way to run a Defiler is with a power scourge and extra fist, moving him up the board towards melee and battle cannon-ing things as you go?

2. Forgefiends. Is Ectoplasm Face + 2 Hades Gatling guns a good load out? Am I wrong that three ectoplasma cannons looks like a bad idea?

3. Herald of Tzeentch on a Burning Chariot, or Exalted Flamer. How hard would it be to magnatize everything so I could put the Herald on Foot or on the Chariot as I wanted/Put the Flamer on the Chariot when I do?
>>
>>44394142
2) Always ensure your weapons share range and preferred targets.

Having half you firepower be out of range, plink off harmlessly or be pointless overkill is a waste of points.

I'm wracking my brain over these guys. I noticed they have Hammerhand, giving them +2S. Should I even bother with halberds? The Falchions give them an extra attack though, but they're Force anyway so if I wound something it'll end up dying pretty much, right?
>>
>>44394237
halberds look cooler, though
>>
>>44393998
>kick tau
You field fire warriors, kroots, stealth suits and other kind of casual shit instead of multiple riptides, stormsurgers and crisisbombs?
>>
>>44394142
For the Forgefiends, I side with >>44394194 . I run mine basic with 2 Hades and I use them for all-purpose shooting. High strength and weight of shots means they're great all-rounder weapons for anything from hordes to special characters to MCs to even flyers but the chassis itself isn't very good and they are overcosted for what they do so keep it simple and run them basic at 175 points.

Nothing sucks harder than trying to flatten something with 3 plasma blasts at bolter range only to fuck yourself with Gets Hot! and then getting drilled full of lead. At least the hades has better range.
>>
>>44394142
>herald on burning chariot

don't bother, herald can only cast witchfires out and no summoning. as for putting magnets on, not that hard but you could just get some flamers of tzeentch instead.
>>
>>44394237
Halbers are for looks only, they used to be sweet as fuck beck when they had that imba Initiative boost.

But nowadays it's Falchion spam with a Token hammer.

>>44394284
Well 3x plasma is less siocidal when you at least have IWND to keep you standing, and a volley of S8/AP2 pies is pretty neat.

Yes I do. I don't field kroot because I don't have any (yet, maybe) but those 2, pathfinders and shit. Also a Ghostkeel but just 1 and I don't use the formation cause it's gay.

>>44394322
I guess it is neat but personally I never found much success with it. Forgefiends attract a good amount of firepower in my experience and I always have SHIT rolls with Gets Hot!

My friend uses these guys religiously. 2 squads of 10, novel takes strike teams. All have swords, Justicar has hammer or halberd, 2 incinerators. Always combat squad them, so you get the extra warp charge/power.

I guess, but I'd rather have a good hard-fought battle with miniatures i love than steamroll. I don't enjoy easy wins, they bore me to death. It's more "cinematic" like this, and allows for more personal stories and promotions for the models for feats of strength.

Well I've yet to lose a single battle against them anyway. I class a good battle any battle that I find some difficulty with and actually have to earn my win through tactics and decision-making.

A liiiittle light on AV but that's easily remediable by putting more meltas on bikes or similar. Not a terrible list for CSM unless you're planning on going WAAC which would probably mean be'lakor, and drop the raptors to fill out your gorepack.

Honestly most ways to make CSM better is just play KDK at this point.

>>44394142
Defiler is still a mess of contradictory rules and purposes so yeah it's arguably the best just battle cannoning until it can fuck things up in melee, but that's also an additional 25 points or so. Too bad the flamer on it is fucking useless because of where it's mounted.

Ectoplasma is cool and a single cannon can be worth it if you're struggling to put AV somewhere. Only worth taking 3 if you're really dedicated to taking the forgefiend and the gatling cannons are shooting at 2+/3+ armor all day. You probably won't GH yourself to death, but it might be hard to keep it firing for more than 3 turns.

Burning chariots on the whole are kinda whatever, but exalted flamers are the better option on them. Heralds are just better served being on screamers or in squads and the chariot doesn't really give them anything cool since the weapons are on the exalted flamer anyway. HoW having warpflame is also NOT cool.
>>
>>44395024
Commissar's ARE infact the likely reason there's no named IG Psykers.

Having a cheap junior commissar execute a 200 points named psyker at the first Peril would suck, characterful, sure, but painful as well.

We used to play in a open club but it'd turn more and more to MTG nights, LARP kindergarden.

Actually Fireknife, which I'm led to believe is the name for plasma/missile Crisis suits, doesn't seem bad at all if spammed: Not as good as splitting up specialists, but decent strength, decent rate of fire, decent flexibility.

Should do solidly in a casual meta?

Of course, even casual metas need to deal with individual Knights and Wraithknights popping up nowadays sadly. Just from people liking the models.

I think it's more about the psykers slow increase in actual power. Imean 3 editions ago they couldn't even choose what single power they actually had.

The only LGS here is like that. A few tables but it's literally across the road from the local equivalent of sixth form/community college so it's always full of arrogant teen cunts playing M:tG and a few kids playing CoD and FIFA in the backroom where the PS3s and 4s are. The manager doesn't do shit about them because M:tG is the only thing that sells and they keep him afloat basically. That said he does have a few boards and welcomes people playing tabletop (though it may be a chore as the M:tG players may outright refuse to get up and make space and you can't say shit to them as they outnumber you 5-to-1).

I have played maybe 2 games there and go even less nowadays but I'm thinking of going back to observe some games when they do 40k and seeing if I can find a nice casual friendly guy to befriend and game with.

Question: in the new mont'ka book, the imperial guard armoured fist formation requires you to take a tank commanded... Now can that commander be upgraded to pass, assuming you having taken him in the battle group option.

Na, IG are like buddy character.
They're the first party member you get as their role is to provide someone for the protagonist to bounce off and express their thoughts to for the audience.
Sometimes they even get a whole sidequest devoted to them but usually they're dropped for better/more interesting party members, destined never to take the spotlight for long.

Non daemons player here

You only have 5 squads which means you are at a big risk of getting out maneuvered and picked off. You can't be afraid to detach self sufficient models like the Juggernaut do go handle something by it self.

You'll also want to keep the Juggernaut in the vicinity of the Tzeentch Herald because I bet he's gonna try and blast him first.

>>44398616
Since Tom Kirby left. GW have tried to fix their image. Less C&D's (they're in a legal row with some Germanfag who says it's 100% legal for him to scan pictures of GW products and apply watermark and put on his website, he is also subsidised by the government and apparently is earning 1 million euroes or something a year, he told GW to fuck off when he got a C&D from them).

They're selling IP for video games when they rarely did in the past, they're letting fan projects through as long as they're not bullshit like gender swapping Space marines.
>>
>>44398635
>cheep

Triggered.

But yeah, it's like the idea of crack, your dealers give you a couple of freebies until you're hooked, then you go back for more and more.

But in this case, 40% or so off. The Skiitari army is pretty insane. Duncrawler, 10 Rangers and a Magos for $85 instead of like $140.

Or £60 for £100 worth of models. I am going to try and resist....
>>
>>44398635
Oh please anon, we here have understood the smart thing that GW needs to do for awhile.

It's was our friends in England who needed the memo. We wish GW was your typical money grubbing corporation, it would be a much better for us all.

yes, 4 heralds count as 1 HQ, so i could even take another hq, but my army is rather heavy on hq pointwise already (ill have to summon a few guys i suppose)>>44398437

>>44398599 true. i think ill have to summon a few guys because of this but looking at my warp charges, that should be doable i hope

Hold up, the Space Marine Battleforce is gonna get a 40% discount?
>>
>>44398647
Wow I can't believe I am saying this but I am completely on GW's side on that one. That's a legal battle that's justified.
>>
>>44398843
Looks like German copyright laws protect it though.
>>
>>44398721
All we know is every bundle on that list will be between 27%-40% off.

The armies will all cost $85, you then have to work out how much you're saving by adding up contents individually.

As I said, Skiitari is

x1 Magos
x10 Rangers
x1 Dunecrawler

Which individually come to $140 or so. It'll be on sale for $85. So you save $55 or so.

>>44398843
Funny thing is, I read it on a 40k news website, spikybits I think, the guy who ran the site came up and started insulting the owner of spikybits and shit in comment section.

>>
>>44398843
I am too, but it wouldn't be such a problem if GW developed loyalty among their customers.
>>
>>44398864
Does it? I'm not familiar with laws or anything in Germany, are they really protected if they slap a watermark on it?

The guy is making large sums of cash in ad revenue this way, but GW can't do shit about it? They sent a C&D and he told them to fuck off basically. So, what does this mean? If you could ignore the law of countries by having your server in another one, that means you can do literally anything. Doesn't Russia and Ukraine have lax laws on CP and shit, so you could essentially run the site in a .ru url and you'd be safe? I don't believe it.

I know CP =! copying/scanning shit, but it's an example of how laws in one country can be bypassed and ignored by going "it's legal in this one". This shit needs sorting.

GW has been making profits for a long time, yeah, not amazing profits, I think their best profit year was when Blood Angels came out as a proper army, but they're trying.

Like WHFB, they really tried to save it, but it failed and now AoS is bringing in new blood and hopefully they'll stick in the hobby and get into 40k. I also hope a 2nd Edition rulebook will include points at some point for AoS.

GW is trying to turn shit around, be more friendly, not this autistic legal team spamming pricks like they were under Kirby. If the investors reports are to be believe, GW is going long-term with AoS, but nothing major about 40k was mentioned.

Plus the new video games.

But mainly? They're bringing back all the specialist games of note (like Necromunda, BFG, Mordheim, Blood Bowl etc) but I don't expect to see Warhammer Historicals back, not that many people in here will know what I'm on about.

GW surprised me with several things.

1. AdMech + Skiitari. They added pretty awesome models and armies for a faction and it went down well.

2. Knights, while you can ignore rules and WAACfags running 1000 of them, the fact they went to the trouble of these expensive moulds for stuff was pretty awesome.

3. AoS, I thought they were going to end WHFB. I saw WHFB slowly die in my areas and I really thought it was going to be completely canned. AoS isn't perfect or even good, but it's going to be a way of getting people into the hobby and that's something I can support.

4. Bringing back specialist games. Obvious reasons why this is good.


But, the main problem? No SoB ;_; Maybe I should write them an email, saying cheers for AdMech and shit, but SoB would be nice...

This is what shits me. Swarmlord a shit, no allies fits the theme of the army but a genestealer cult might be nice, and skyblight is good because FMCs are good.

What kind of rules would you like for the midfielder?

>>44400575

>>44400560
Either a T5 or a 3+ Warrior. That unit embodies everything good about Tyranids. It can be fitted with decent to great melee weapons or a decent shooting weapon and acceptable heavy weapons , it's got good stats and it would be tough.

At 30 points a model base, it shouldn't even get a price hike.
>>
>>44400230
CSM aren't the worst army (Orks), but the Heldrake isn't the terror that it used to be and KDK are irrelevant in discussions about CSM.
>>
>>44400560
And the Swarmlord will murder fuck most things.

He might win the battle for you (against lower tier armies) but him and his Hive meat shields Guard are a 510 point squad and will never make their points back.
>>
>>44400695

Is it just better to run an Alpha Legion list with the SM codex? Not taking daemons anyway
>>
>>44400642
I like your changes to warriors, although i don't use them as midfielders since i use a trio of Zoanthropes as my midfield bastion/heavy weapons, and outflank a big unit of warriors/a prime to disrupt flanks. At least, for when I'm not playing mawloc/termahordes/flying circus against other xenos. But either T5 and/or better AP weapons would be great for them, as well as genestealers being tougher or higher AP, even if the stealers get a price hike.
>>
>>44400762
Yes. Unless you want to run KDK or summon spam, you're better off running Codex: Space Marines.
>>
>>44400802
Stealers just need some way to get into CC before they get shot to pieces. They should let them deepstrike into terrain and assault after deep striking.
>>
>>44400745
Swarmlord will murderfuck his way across the board against an idiot who throws his deathstar against him, but you either footslog the bugger and his meatshields all the way to something valuable by turn 4, or you Tyrannocyte him and he gets kited and destroyed as soon as he finishes off killing one unit. Basically, barring his CC invuln, he sucks, and his only use, warlord hunting, is something he isnt mobile enough for. Winged Swarmlord, with a permanent 4++ which goes up to 3++, might be worthwhile at his current point cost

>>
>>44400695
I know they aren't the worst cause I play the worst haha. I hop you guys get legion tactics, that'll really make CSMs unique and fun
>>
>>44400824
Or let them assault out of outflanking, like they used to
>>
>>44400802
The problem with Zoanthropes being midfielders is that they're WAYYY to fucking expensive. I usually want 3 squads of midfielders and that's 450 goddamn points.

It's like a Space Marine player using Lascannon Devastaror squads as midfielders. They are also useless in assault.
>>
>>44400888
with their invuln, decent LOS and positioning, i make do with one big brood of three and two single ones, since i have no other elites models. They really are goddamn great as long as you don't expose them to an entire gunline or some such. The big mob ruins tanks/blasts anything else to bits, the single ones hide around the place and keep the piles of gaunts from killing themselves. Theyre surprisingly tough and almost impossible to reach if you keep them well positioned in the horde. 150 points for the best antitank in the codex, plus 100 for surgical strikes and synapse. Another player uses three groups of two to similar results, although he's a nidzilla player rather than horde player.
>>

Oh yeah they're amazing. But they're more of a "heavy support" than a midfield fighting unit. They provide some of the best support in the game, but they aren't lime Sternguard veterans were I can send them to midfield and take and hold objectives, tip of the spear kind of shit. I really want my Zoanthropes sitting behind the arrowhead BLAMing things.

>and KDK are irrelevant in discussions about CSM.

If KDK are irrelevant to a discussion about CSM then Flesh Tearers are irrelevant to a discussion about Skitarii.

You have allies. You have a damn good, updated, Forgeworld book. You have 30K if you really get fed up. Orks have not a single Battle Brother out there, no access to Psychic powers that aren't Daemonology or our own (poor) table, and an outdated Forgeworld book that isn't even good.

Correct.

Just because Orks are in a shitty place, it doesn't mean that other armies can't be in a shitty place as well. "Go play an entirely different game" and "play a different army" are two of the most cancerous attitudes here.
