So.. half of them reward incompetence as a general?

And it's of course the strong armies that have to do bad to gain benefit, while the weakest armies need to over-preform...

Imperial Units

All armies from the Imperium can call upon the God-Emperor of Mankind in their moment of greatest need. As a result, all Imperial units gain Furious Charge and Fearless.

Forces of Chaos - CSM and Daemons

Calling upon the Ruinous Powers of the Chaos Gods, all Chaos units can choose to treat To Hit and/or To Wound rolls of 1 as a 6 instead.

Orks

The orks call out to Gork and Mork, who rewards them with a giant green foot descending from the sky to squash their foes! You make a special Stomp attack, which is 3 massive 7" templates that don't scatter - inflicting anything from Str 6 hits to Instant Death, or Penetrating Hits on Vehicles to Instant Wrecks!

Eldar and Dark Eldar

When activated, this Divine Intervention gives all Eldar and Dark Eldar units Hatred and Rage.

Tau Empire

While the Tau do not worship any deities, their sense of purpose and devotion to the Greater Good borders on the fanatical. When activated, all Tau units gain Feel No Pain (4+), Stubborn, and also the Counter-attack special rules.

Tyranids

The Hive Mind takes over and all creatures come under the direct control of the this collective consciousness. Tyranid units gain Preferred Enemy, may Run & Shoot, and then can also Assault in the same turn.

Necrons

Necrons are repulsed by the essence of an unchained C'tan and steel themselves from its influence, and the influence of all others. They gain Adamantium Will, Fearless, and their Reanimation Protocols work on a 4+.

>>44430761
I wish they had the old mob rule back, the new one is basically suicide.

>>44431170
Which makes no sense for the orks.

>>44431196
So 5 nobs should be easier to scare than 12 boys?

>>44431224
What I mean is that orks have always been the army which morality and numbers are closely related

>>44430924
Well that is fluffy. Orks, Chaos aren't going to reward shit play.

The Hive Mind should be the opposite though. It's not an entity that rewards or punishes, it responds to stress (losing)

>>44431224
5 nobs are as easy to scare as always but now boys kill themselves in fright when pretty much anything rears it's ugly head.

>>44431224
Well they're both leadership 7, so yeah

Which is the best novel with Tyranids?

>>44431026
Oh God that's scary

>>44431433
No, now the 5 nobs can fail their ld, but succeed on the mob rule test.

Before it was a flat bonus
Are we enough to be fearless?
No: because mobs can't have 12 models in a unit.

Are we more than 7?
If yes: test with that as your LD.
If no: get fucked.

Is Citadel Finecast still horrible? I was kind of hoping they'd make new versions of Shadowsun and Farsight this year (even though I knew it was a stretch). I've been thinking of getting a Farsight since he actually kind of works in the Dawn Blade detachment, but as a fairly new hobbyist that's never used Finecast before (but heard all about it) I'm not sure I want to deal with any potential bubbles or miscasts or whatever.

It's better but there's still a chance you get a cheeseman.

Also resin a shit, convert it from plastic.

Why do they say in the Dawn of War games that the nemesis of Elder are Necrons and not Dark Elder? Are Dark Elder to Elder just what black people are to white people?

>>44431732
Returns policy can be pretty tight, so even if you get fucked over they will likely send you a second one and let you keep the miscast, if any of it is salvageable it could make for good bits.

>>44431871
Eldar are like puritanical Christians while Dark Eldar are rebellious teenagers. They don't like each other, but they're still the same race, and work together against all the other inferior ones.

Hey I'm putting together a 750p nid army

Flyrant with twin devourers

Tervigon with cluster spines
30xTermagaunts

Exocrine


I've got 30points to spare and I'm not sure what to spend it on.

As for the flyrant, a lot of the people I play with use air units at the same point size, and it's my best AA option.

>>44431732

I wouldn't buy Finecast unless it's in a clear blister and you inspect it in the shop.

Finecast can be flawless or easily fixed, but it can also have so many holes it's not worth the time.

>>44431871
Different approach to handling the whole Chaos god thing.

>>44431732
They don't use finecast anymore. Read just about any models description that was in finecast and you'll see it just says resin now. Rumour is that they've switched to what forgeworld uses which has led to less bubbling.

>>44431915
You're pretty much done, there aren't many options with taking for tyranids and there isn't that many options for single models.

Just beware of the tau even on that low points.

>>44431915
Regen on the Tervigon.

>>44432071
why the tervigon and not the others? I'd imagine it would be the last target on peoples priority list.

>>44431137
Sorta nifty

>>44431871
The Fall of the Eldar was caused when the Eldar partied too hard and fucked Slaanesh into existence. The Dark Eldar just keep on partying hard (except now torture dudes on the side to stay alive/young because that prevents their souls from getting sucked out) while the Craftworlders adhere to rigid social paths and repress those parts of themselves that caused the fall.

Essentially, the Craftworlders think the Dark Eldar are self-destructive idiots, and the Dark Eldar think the Craftworlders are some autistic faggots playing at being ascetic warrior-monks.

The divide's ultimately just cultural though, they both still work together and consider each other's lives more valuable than those of any other species, plus the fact that Commorragh is the single largest port in the Webway makes its existence pretty important to all Eldar. There's some GW fiction where individual Eldar move back and forth between going Craftworld or Commorrite throughout their lives.

The Eldar as a species were literally created as a weapon against the Necrons though, so that's where the whole ancestral enemy thing comes from.

>>44432109
>Better not handle the thing that spawns unlimited units until late game.

>>44432151
Max of 6 units, usually small without any upgrades.

>>44432151
>I better shoot the toughest of the 3 MC's with the least firepower

Exocrine would probably be the first target, just because the flyrant needs to be shot at by other air units/AA.

>>44432134
>Essentially, the Craftworlders think the Dark Eldar are self-destructive idiots, and the Dark Eldar think the Craftworlders are some autistic faggots playing at being ascetic warrior-monks

Are they 4chan and tumblr?

>>44432204
I resent the implication.

>>44431871
Same reason that they're Battle Brothers on the tabletop (along with Harlies). They're the same species, there's not many of them left, and they'd rather work with weird their creepy soul sucking cousins than soulless metal abominations intent on destroying everything even remotely connected to the Warp (or filthy Mon-keighs for that matter). They had different approaches to how to survive The Fall but at the end of the day the Necrons on one end and Slaanesh on the other are the greatest enemies of all Eldar, regardless of whether they're Craftworld, Exodites, Kabalites or Harlequins.

>>44432220
I like the implication. Welcome to Commorragh faggot.

>>44432222
Does that mean that that one Eldar slut who slept with a Vindicare Assassin basically committed gross bestiality from the Eldar point of view?

>>44432071
Actually, I was thinking about shoving Adrenal gland on the exocrine + either the Hive tyrant or Tervigon, I read somewhere that Fleet was good on the Exocrine.

>>44432514
I can't think of any reason why you'd want to do that to be honest. An exocrine wants to move into position and stay there until there is nothing left to shoot. Fleet would be largely useless considering that

>>44432514
Fleet is only useful if you're running or charging. Doing either of those things means you're not firing the S7 AP2 gun. Fleet is utterly pointless on an exocrine.

>>44432578
>>44432574
>>44432514

but if you roll onslaught on your tyrant or a tervigon
then you're in business
but seriously, dont bother with fleet

Eeh kindof, though it's more like sleeping with a underaged neanderthal with down.

>>44431928

Honestly though, Forge World resin is also shit. Fragile, full of errors and flaws, fragile, harder to work with and convert, fragile, doesn't take glue and paint as well even after soaking and scrubbing, fragile, breaks easily and fragile.

And for what, a negligable increase in sculptable detail? Only buy if you can't convert something suitable as a good looking standin, and even then be prepped for transporting nightmares.

There is a shooty way to use KDK?

>>44432899
using your daemon engine slots to spam mawcannon grinders probably

>>44432911
What about shooty infantry?

>>44432689
the only thing I have finecast is my Necron Overlord. His staff was so fragile it snapped off and I just used another weapon from my Lychguard box. He also came with a SHITLoAD of bubbles, half his chest cavity is one big bubble (up to about half his chest insignia) and the little tassel things on his chest were so flimsy most broke off within minutes. I was fucking livid. I had to alter/paint the guy as if he had a bit of battle damage as I got him off a third-party online retailer so no way was I getting it replaced for more cost+shipping.

I remember complaining about it in a 40k conversation in one of my old guilds in WoW during WotLK. Someone else took offense because he worked at the factory and spent all day pouring shit into moulds, fucking Sensitive Sally he was.

Never again. Fuck resin et all. Plastic or metal.

>>44432965
fucking
look at your choices
you have chaos spessh mehreens with bolters, berserkers with pistols, or havocs with various meh heavy weapons
why would you even want to do them shooty, it goes against the whole design of the army
if you want shooty khorne play renegades and take khorne covenants on everyone

>>44432689

This is why you don't buy things with thin pieces in resin. I'll take resin space marines over plastic any day. Mostly just for the legs.

>>44432965

Doesn't really exist, but you can build up shooty cultists, bikes and similar units with specialist weapons... Don't take Daemons except maybe Skull Cannons, but have the models to summon layers of chaff.

>>44432134
Can people please stop thinking the craftworlders and dark kin are cool with each other?

The dark kin will joyously slay each other, let alone their kin who they hold in even greater contempt.

They'll work with the craftworlders sometimes but only if it suits their ends and they'll betray them the instant they get what they want and think they can get away with it.

Likewise, the craftworlders will gladly fight and kill their dark kin if the farseers see that it's the best course of action to protect their craftworld.

While I would love a Khornate CSM samurai-themed army with flags, swords and helmets/armour, my force is already painmted and done up. Maybe someday do a samurai special character kitbash. But I AM going to be stripping and repainting my small Tau force soon. Seeing as they got the whole segmented armour thing going and asian vibes, should I?

But for Tau I can't do the armour or katanas, but flags sure. any more ideas I could do to make them suitably samurai-themed?

Anyone know when the "getting started" sets are available for order/pre-order?

I'm thinking about snagging the Skit-Mech one since 10 Rangers, an Onager, and a Dominus seem like a decent deal especially if I can order them through a site that takes 10-20% off for going through them.

Alternatively I was considering a BaC box if the actual boardgame is any good which I'd love to hear some feedback about if anyone's played it?

>>44433028
Noone said they are "cool with one another", just that they'd rather see other races than accelerate the decline of their own, dark and twisted they may be, but they are eldar and every death is a paving stone to extinction.

Of course the dark ones are a bit more frivolous about it, after all if we are doomed, why not go down having fun instead of denying yourself everything.

My FLGS also mostly caters to magic and no other chaos players except for this one WAACer who brings multiple knights and a few Gorepacks.

That said Path to Glory looks a bit meh. The tables are too small and lackluster and you get points win or lose. There's fuckall detriment to losing, shit you can get your Champion spawn'D even if you do nothing but win. It just seems so basic, like someone took an afternoon off to slap it together to try and shut CSM players up.

Sick of seeing this shit t.b.h. Other factions get straight codex updates and some lucky few get campaign books chock-full of new formations, rules and wargear while chaos got a codex last year about 1 god to push sales for a model kit and then this shit with no update coming in 2016.

>>44433637
If you look hard enough in the fluff there will be instances of specific forgeworlds getting help from certain chapters or at least being situated close enough that it's likely that they receive supplies from them.

I personally have been considering adding Ad-Mech Allies to my Ultramarines and painting the Ad-Mech to be from Forgeworld Graia since the Ultramarines came to the aid of Forgeworld Graia to stave off an Ork Invasion in the Space Marine game.

If you're looking for more "directly stated" friends of Ad-mech then look up these chapters:
Reclaimers
Praetors of Orpheus
Mentors
Steel Confessors
Blood Ravens


Really though, you can fluff them however you want as long as you can make up some reason why they might work together.

I could take a Deathstrike, a Hydra and another squad of Vets to be at 1,455 but no idea on the rest. Instead, I could swap one Executioner for an Exterminator (moved to Heavy) and take a Stormsword for more S10 AP1 shots and be at 1,500.

Is there anything that's overcosted? Is there anything I might run into that would destroy this list (Primary opponents would be Imperial Fists, IG, Tau, and Eldar)?

That is correct, but it'll come handy against av13+ and odd situations where there are clusters of vehicles. It is also almost guaranteed hp damage to finish off things and with s5 ap5 it is good anti-horde tool.

What about three S8 shots that cause a haywire roll in addition to the regular pen roll rather than instead of it?

So I'm hosting a tourney soon and I'm trying to figure out my list. I've got Dark Angels. I'm probably going against two tau, chaos, blood Angels and maybe tyranids or orks. Trying make a list that can deal with tau and still form a strong enough gunline for the rest of the assault armies. 1000 pt

Elite - deathwing terminators x5; rocket launcher

They're "cool with each other" by Eldar standards. Yes, they hate each other, but they will work together and can actual stand to be genuine allies (so long as there's a nice dividing line of Harlequins intervening; Codex Harlequins makes it fairly clear that they are the real line of communication between the other four Eldar factions). The only recorded instances of the DE genuinely helping any of the races of realspace all relate to the Craftworlds - even if their motivations were not exactly altruistic. I think the newer fluff regarding Iyanden's near-fall shows this pretty well. When the 'nids were going to wipe out the most important Craftworld, Yriel convinced his corsairs to come help their craftworld bros. Not necessarily a big surprise, but the presence of Commorrites was. Apparently the DE showed up in force to defend Iyanden, without even backstabbing them or raping anyone... but their real reason was that they thought it was hilarious how the Eldar of Iyanden were upset over having to practice necromancy via wraiths, and they didn't want stupid faggot 'nids ruining this by wiping them all out.

Which sounds pretty terrible but DE are literally more evil than chaos so by their standards that is basically equivalent to being best friends forever. The Craftworlders don't like the DE either but still consider them above humans or other non-Eldar plebs. I think it was the 3rd ed CE codex that really stressed the "even the nicest CE will murder 10 billion humans to save a single random dude on an exodite world" so even a deranged, drug-addled kabalite is probably worth more than whole systems as well.

tl;dr CE are so racist they're "cool with" DE by comparison, DE are evil but less aggressive at least when dealing with CE.

This is where I get stuck
Should I take another MoN spawn to accompany the lord, or a rhino to transport one of the squads?
The point total would come to 497 or 496 respectively.

The rhino would help the squad get to objectives faster/draw some fire from the Lord, but on the other hand having another spawn will really help protect the Lord who will be drawing most of the fire anyway.

I'm new to the game, so other recommendations are welcome.
For instance is there an advantage to swapping bolters for close combat weapons in one of the squads? Do they get an extra attack or something? Would it be effective to do that in a squad in a rhino?

>>44434300
Scions are an alpha strike unit, they normally drop down and melta a vehicle or blast a squad with plasma in the sweet spot, they don't last long if they don't do damage but deep striking means they will always be the first ones to open fire.

I like a scion command squad with 4 plasma guns and a 10 man squad, use a relay to guide them in, have the 10 man squad FRFSRF to dakka down anything without a 2+ save and then give anything that does a face full of rapid fire plasma.

>>44431433
Mob rule doesn't allow you to re-roll Fear though.

Unless by 'fright' you meant 'having their trukk blown up and being thrown 20ft into the air'

>>44430788
I would honestly want the Joe and Jane imperial schmoes to have something different than the knights in Powered Armor

>>44433522

>>44434300

They're T3 W1 4+, so they'll go down pretty quick once someone starts paying attention to them, but when I ran them they'd usually be able to make their points back before that happened. Just make sure they get a good target and try to land 'em close enough to do mean things to it.

I'd say no on the array unless you put it on something Fast, but that's because I used my Scions to deepstrike into backfield stuff and mix up my opponent's lines, so my Chims and LRs were usually too far away from the fun to be of help with an array.

>>44434449

>>44434720

Most of the Riptide/suit heads look retarded. There's like only one good head for each suit and then a bunch of shitty alternate ones.

Ghostkeel head looks best when it's sunken into the torso on a hunchback model, like the R'varna or the Ghostkeel. As a proper head, it's just a bulbous melon on a neck.

If 10 man squad, melta or grav and no heavy, or lascannon heavy split off and sitting somewhere.

If points are available, give sergeant matching combi with the special weapon guy.

Flamers are useless since nobody plays horde anymore and you don't need it against them since you have bolters, storm bolters, and often hurricane/heavy bolters everywhere.

There, both Ghostkeel heads. Unassembled, but you get the picture.

Ok so the Tau castes cannot interbreed, but what would happen if a dumb Human "culturally enriched" a "qt" (if such were to exist) Tau female?

Would they tolerate it? I mean they probably can't breed so it's ok, they are just poor uneducated human males, they didn't do nothing.

Anyone play any Rogue Trader?

Been in a very interesting campaign the few months.

>>44435190
I see. One seems designed to settle in and be glued closed. the other has more vents on the side and is designed to flip up and reveal the pilot.

>>44435192

Look at what happened to any slave from anywhere who had sex with a female from the master race.

Flogging, lynching, execution, drawing and quartering, etc.

>>44435222
No, that was a wrong anon. Both are fixed heads and if you take the head off you can do an open cockpit.

>>44431026

Apply directly to forehead,

>>44435255
What? But I thought one of cool features of the kit was that you can open the cockpit and close it at any time?

>>44435341
You totally can. I have a Ghostkeel and while closing the cockpit can be a vit tricky, its still mobile while fully assembled.

>>44435385
Alright, sweet. As long as I can do that cause i have a modelling idea for it. Just hope the join is strong enough to stick. Maybe put a magnet in the neck so when its closed it doesn't rock back and forth (if that's a problem, anyway)

Grotzooka is just flat out better. Maybe not against vehicles, but against ANY type of infantry. The grotzookas inflict so many hits, and usually a ton of wounds due to S6. Its just the best choice for KANS. It can hurt vehicles, but usually better targets will present themselves. Especially since your running forward right?

You stand a better chance of killing them by putting more wounds on them, and grotzookas do that best.

If you really need that S8 AP3, and you do, play Tankbustas. They have melta bombs and they're cheap, and arguably the best ork unit right now.
Two squads of Tankbustas and a squad of Lootas isn't a bad core if you're just starting out.

This puts me exactly at 750 points.

To be fair, barring Word Bearers, aren't all warbands devoted to one of the four anyways? Black Legion's "undivided" but in the sense that they have different mark'd lords, not that they're all undivided. Ditto the Night Lords and Iron Warriors who serve Chaos, iirc.
>>44433394
>detriment to losing
You get less Favor points (So get a daemon prince slower, unless v lucky) which means you have a harder time winning the game. You also can't get the boons from the various tables, or more followers. That's fairly sizable- If you win, you're likely to keep winning, and so get a daemon prince faster.

>>44436644
They don't have to be. From a gameplay perspective, you aren't forced to take Marks on anything bar the Prince, and from a fluff perspective, there are supposed to be other minor warp entities outside of the big 4 that a warband can deal with.

>>44436620
Should I keep my overlord in the group of 20 warriors or the small group of guard?

>>44434769
let me tell you something about the new corsairs.

You have not lived until you played this game, and with 1 psychic power and 8 dice thrown at it-perils be damned- you manage to put a green tide in reserves turn 4. Thats an auto concede power there. Sure you psyker is now slanesh salad dressing, but man the look on the other guys face when he has to pick up 70 odd dudes.

Would a random chance to summon neutral Daemons from the old Daemonhunters codex as a weather effect be too ridiculous? The idea is that they would run at the closest models. Is there a better way to make them truely neutral?

I'm somewhat new to this game, I have a modest amount of models and I understand most of the rules. However, in most of the games I've watched, the more experienced guys tend to have nice paper references and build lists either printed out or on a tablet.

Learn to write your army list on paper before relying on a crutch to automatically generate your army.

Hello friends.
So I just booted up my very first 40k army and decided to play space marines.
I bought a space marine captain and a tactical squad. What should be my next purchase?

>>44440260
>picking "spesh merines"
So boring taste. Bet you like vanilla sex in missionary position with hand holding too.

>>44440236
Your CSM rework looks very wonky. A lot of it is just not terribly useful or so situation it doesn't do anything to help the army.

I'm adding what constructive criticism I can as I go through. Will do the same to the rest as I read it, but that'll take longer.

>>44439919
>A Kroot rework that lets Hounds form their own squads

Finally someone else gets it.

>>44440283
Was going to be orks or tyrannids but the other two pals joining me on this WACKY 40K ADVENTURE already took those.
And help with my question tho?

>>44440260
A squad of scouts would give you a valid army, while also letting you use them to maneuver more and re-position for taking objective and camping cover.
Speaking of, your third purchase should be a piece of terrain, preferably line of sight blocking. Too many players have tables with no terrain, making every game a shooting gallery.

Or you could do what I did and use an empty beer case, carve some windows in it,, carve out one wall, and spraypaint it grey.

>>44440297
Most armies aren't done. Really powered through Space marines with a Calculator and Battle reports for the last week.

Most complete are Orkz, Tau (though an edition old), and now marines.

>>44439919
Just going to make some suggestions based on Tau stuff, since that's what I'm most familiar with.

First, it seems a bit odd to shift pathfinders into troops. I can understand why you did it, but that allows for a lot of markerlights on units you have to take anyway.

The next thing would be the changes in point costs. I think most of the changes are solid overall. Stealth suits might be a bit too cheap, and Missile drones should probably be more than just 2 extra points, but other than that it seems fine.

Something else I would recommend for Tau is a change in the general rules, making it so Rapid Fire weapons require you to be stationary again. This makes the trade-off between rifles and carbines more meaningful.

Added on to that would be the suggestion to make the Heavy Rail Rifle Rapid-fire instead of Heavy 1, in order to make it a more versatile option.

Another troop. For now, you can play

1 Captain

5 Tactical
5 Tactical

But you need at least 2 squads of troops so you'll need some more guys if you want to have, say, two full squads of tacticals.

You should buy what models you think look cool, or what formations you like the sound of. If all else fails, the generic base to start with is

1 Captain (for Battle Company access or Chapter Master face smashing capability)
1 Chaplain (if you know you will go Battle Company or Demi-Company) or Librarian

10 Tactical Marines, Rhino
10 Tactical Marines, Rhino

From there you can add what you like, or get 10 more Tactical Marines, and either Bikes/Assault Marines and Devastators/Centurions for Battle Company.

You will have an aura of cockblocking around you. No one gets laid.

Which units are a must have to win in your army?

>>44433751
Loosing half you troops , being behind on objective , allowing the temporal prison for a enslaved stargod to be damaged enough to set it free.

Not even Abbadon would consider that tolerable performance.

>>44436722

You can make the fucking green tide-100+ models, all fuck off back to reserves?

THAT IS SOME GRADE A BULLSHIT!

Seriously cant think of a more dick move to pull in a game.

>>44441114

Care to be more specific? Every army has easily identifiable top units. Not all of us choose to use these units.

>>44441180

Yeah then you have to put them all back on the table every time they come back on.

If you play against Corsairs, either bring Culexus Assassins or break your Green Tide into CADs.

>>44441194

so just bring 10 units of 10 that lose 3 guys and fuck off the board because ld 7? Green tide was a thing for a reason. I thought 3 wyverns was bad.

>>44441256

Would you rather have 10 squads that he has to manually target and shoot at or one squad that just gets automatically warped off the table?

>>44441114
None because I don't play gorillion flyrants, so I don't tend to win.
Malanthropes are pretty much the thing that holds my army together

>>44441114
There's no unit I need to use, the only thing that's been a constant is a warboss, the rest shift around.

>>44441256
>10 units of 10

GW doesn't give anything away for free anymore. Your best bet is to locate it on mediafire or something and DL it that way.

Does an Empire free company kit come with round or square bases? I want to build a renegades and heretics army for 40k and a milita and cults army for 40k. Figuring I can use the same models for the basic infantry

What's better: Ethereal protected by a bodyguard or within a Devilfish? Also what loadout (stim, iridium, shield seems obvious) would you recommend for the bodyguard?

Made some changes to the list I posted earlier
CSM

The spawn will tag along with the Lord, the marines will cruise around in the rhino and provide something to combat enemy armour.

Any thoughts?

A Helbrute in a Helcult formation that is joined with a CAD and an Allied Detachment is part of a Chaos Space Marine army for the purposes of taking Legacies of Ruin, correct?

>>44441926

They went publicly traded, and have made a series of staggeringly stupid business decisions in the last decade or so because half of their staff are nerds who don't understand the market and the other half are marketing guys who don't understand nerds.

And going by their track record, they've handed creative control to the marketing guys and business direction to the nerds.

>>44442532
Can't entirely agree on the creative control bit. They're still capable of knocking it out of the park like with the plastic admech or harlequin releases.

Which would you rather fight, a single Bloodletter or a flock of rabid mongeese?

>>44442642
What are mongeese? Waterfowl with downs?

When the Caestus assault ram had a transport capacity and supersonic, but had no way of deploying the guys inside of it unless it crashed.

Probably Devilfish. Elemental invocations are measured from the hull which is a notable buff. You can also GTFO if you ever get in trouble, can jink for cover and can't be sniped. Bodyguard can be instakilled and you're relatively vulnerable to sniping.

Fear tests v. Moral tests.

I imagine cultists or guardsmen who are about 25 years old going up against the Swarmlord and failing a fear test and hit worse, but not afraid enough to cut and run.

However 10K old Chaos Terminators run off the board when an artillery round kills a couple of their friends.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.

But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose, and if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, "Rudolph, with your nose so bright, your mutation will be cleansed tonight!"

Then all the reindeer purged him,
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer,
atone in death for he-res-y!"

>>44442962
I know right! He's a German Shepard/Husky mix

How do you do the gets hot on the kustom mega kannon? Is it a 1 on either of the scatter dice?

I had a dream that genestealers were in my room infecting me.

How do I tell if I'm infected?

>>44443264
I don't know offhand if it has different rules, but traditionally blast weapons you roll a D6 separately for Gets Hot, then roll scatter if it's not a 1.

>>44443264
Sperate 1d6.

>>44443273
it's already too late for you anon

>>44443273
Paint fumes are one hell of a drug.

What points value are Power Boots, assuming they can only be weilded in pairs, grant slow and purposeful, can be used to HoW at S10 AP1 because flying power boot kick at the end of a charge, and don't replace your gun because they're boots.

Otherwise just power fists.

Haven't been painting much recently.

But I've been gluing a lot recently with a new glue.

Sup 40k general, haven't played 40k in a while now, so quick question for you:

When building an ork dread mob, do you use the point costs from the pdf upgrade or the codex?

Since you are forming a "virtual unit", that only exist during the shooting phase, can you exploit this by using a buffmander to buff the combined firepower buffs like tank-hunters, twinlinked, ignore cover?

>>44443420
You'll probably get a better reply because the generals have been quite orky lately, but I'd say whichever is newer.

>>44443445
This is a hotly debated topic, but by RAW yes. RAI? Have no fucking idea.

However don't be a dick about it to lesser armies and in casual games.

>>44443474

I have my sights on a self-declared competitive Necron player, so don't worry about it.

So how effective would be a unit of 8 dual plasma crisis, and a Shas'Ui with buffmander equipment?

would you play against an unbound army of empty drop pods?

I ran this in the old Dex with just 4 TOTAL plasmas.

It got the name Terminator Bane for a reason.

>>44443500
He can't disprove it no matter how hard he tries. It literally says "as one unit."

Don't even think about challenging him without the Ghost Kheel formation because you REALLY REALLY need to take out his Ghost Arks quickly. Pic related.

>>44443570
Yes, make them the forces of a Manufactorum ship under the control of a chaos warped Abominable Intelligence.

>>44443445
pretty sure we had a big discussion and determined yes that it does do all that

>>44443691

Well, that much AV is tricky to clear, but they're an immobile stormbolter and you really only need to kill the ones that land on objectives.

>>44443445
The most "fair" ruling of this so far is the buffmander can still only declare one "target" enemy unit, but all other tau shooting at that target get his buff.

>>44443570
in a 2k game you can have 17 drop pods. that's gonna be pretty annoying to fight. pass

>>44443930
at 2k it's 57 Drop pod or 40 Drop pod with Deathwind launchers.

>>44443420
Use the PDF costs, I justify it by saying its a discount because the Mek had the resources to make more Dreads than normal. Also Kans for 50 points base is obscene, and the 5 point reduction in Deff Dreads is nice

For Sternguards, the special ammunition "Hellfire" has strength SX. Which means they auto-wound on a 2+, but is that a 2+ on to hit or to wound?

Another question of mine is what is a solid choice for anti-armour for SM?

>>44444111
3+ to hit because they are BS4. You always subtract to the BS from 7 to figure out what you need to hit.

2+ to wound since they are 2+ poisoned weapons.

>solid choice against armor
10 c/melta sternguard in a drop pod.

>>44444111
It's the to Wound roll

>>44444111
They wound on the to hit roll.

>>44444111
Melta guns/drop pod command squad is cheaper than combi-meltas/drop pod sternguard for a suicide melta squad

Drop the marks on the cultists- They're never worth the points. Give the CSM a second meltagun. I personally wouldn't take the Black Mace on a Lord either. The lack of AP2 hurts it.

For Dark Angels, if I am using a Librarian and an Interregator Chaplin both on bikes but the Chap gets the Mace of Redemption, should I make my Librarian the warlord since the Chap kinda fights people?

All the librarian has is bike and level 2 psyker.

>>44433961
Drop one of the executioners.
Add a Primaris Psyker to Your veterans squads.
Them you could get a couple of standard Battle cannon leman russes and a flyer.
