I don't have the motivation to carry on painting.
I only have to complete one more walker and some highlights before I'm done.
I always say I will do it but I just carry on shitposting on /tg/

What's wrong with me?

>>46204789
>>46204832
The theme of the story they want is "Imperium of Man".

So you don't have to write about marines. You can pick and choose whatever Imperial type you want.

>>46204511
How do we make Kroot good?
My thought, semi-based on the HOR rules, is to give them Mark of Chaos esque prey traits. So for 2 points per model (or less?) they can be ork eaters and get +1 S, or Eldar eaters with +1 I. Maybe if the upgrade costs more, it could be +1 I and an extra die for deny the witch rolls.

>>46204873
>What's wrong with me?
No idea. sounds like a good position to be in

Plenty of people are happy to play with grey blobs of plastic, i don't support this idea but it seems you don't either and have done most of the hard work already.

i never paint multiple units at a time, i finish one and move on. So you should finish the easy final highlight stage and pack those models up, they are done now.

Then it's one walker, just do it and be rid of the burden.

Post some pictures or at least tell us what these models are, it might motivate you.

>>46205004
They're chaos daemons. They're not really at a very high standard, I'd call them a solid 7/10, but I like the looks of them and I put some real effort in to them as my first army getting back in to 40k. I also have some Orks but I always keep going back to daemons and collecting more of them.

I started with Nurgle and painted a greater daemon, 20 lesser daemons, a herald and a daemon prince.
Then I want on to Slaanesh and did the same.
Now I have moved on to Tzeentch. I have the 20 horrors painted but I lied about only the one walker. The Lord of change, prince and a Tzeentch soul grinder all need work but I only need the daemon prince finished for a game this weekend.

>>46204974
>How do we make Kroot good?

Give them a non-shit formation whose minimum is 2+ Kroot units and doesn't include any faggot vespid.

Return Kroot rifles to their former stats. Give them preferred enemy Orks whilst Orks gain hatred versus them for fun and fluff. Finally, Kroot hounds can now be a separate fast attack unit.

But i'd rather see a Kroot HQ psyker over kroot themselves being changed.

So, I think I just figured out how to make IG Heavy Weapon Squads good. Honestly, someone else has probably figured this out already since it's so simple, but I think it warrants noting.

So, the big thing wrong with HWS's is their lousy leadership. This has two effects: first, it makes them bad at taking orders (with only a 58.33% chance of success) and it makes them bad at taking wounds (since there's only 3 models at T3, they end up making that 25% casualties roll a LOT).

So each problem requires a separate solution to get the most out of your cheap heavy guns, and both require a CCS to be nearby (but you were gonna do that anyway since you'll be ordering them with those juicy Senior Officer orders).

First, equip the CCS with a Regimental Standard. For 15 points, everyone in 12" rerolls morale tests. Sadly, this doesn't apply to orders, but we'll deal with that later. Your HWS has gone from a 42% chance of bolting at the first sign of trouble to a 17% chance. Pretty spiffin; they now have the same chance of running as your average squad of Necrons. But they still don't take orders well, since the reroll applies to MORALE (slash pinning slash fear), not LEADERSHIP tests, which orders test on.

The solution to THIS is to give the Company Commander Volkov's Cane, a new Heirloom of Conquest from the latest Warzone Damocles book. It's an ap4 concussive weapon (hooray...), BUT! Any order issued to a unit within 6" only fails on a TWELVE.

So, put your CCS in a chimera, give them a measly 25 points worth of upgrades, and suddenly every HWS within half a foot of the chimera's hull (an oval just under one and a half feet wide) tests morale better than space marines and successfully follows orders 97.22% of the time. Plop them behind an Aegis line for a 2+ GtG cover save, of course, so they're hard to shift AND put out a lot of pain. Obviously they're still a bit pricey for their wounds/gun count, but...eh.

Gonna try this next 40k day at my FLGS. I love gunline guard.

I like painting Soul-grinders, i have the torso sperate from the legs as it's easier to package, and means painting is a 2 stage job, flesh on top, machine on the bottom.

Never painted Tzeench but i'd assumeit's the hardest daemon. Khorne and Nurgle are simple enough to get looking good. at least a Prince is partially armour and weapons

>>46205168

>>46204542
>dakka chosen in rhino are better
>vaguely remember Rhino fire points
>only two models can fire
That completely invalidates the point of taking a heap of guns with Chosen, I might as well give the Rhino to one of the basic CSM squads.

>>46205235
Or you can put a 50 point divination psyker in with them, it increases their leadership to 9 and he can use his powers for free rerolls which is vital for bs3.

With a bit of luck you can have twin-linked, ignores cover lascannons or twin-linked precision shot auto-cannons.

>>46205295
Do you think Rhino's are that tough?

You should be taking Rhino's on the CSM squads as well.

>>46205254
Oh I have a feeling there's more but those are good enough.

>>46205266
I painted my Tzeentch daemons to be eye shatteringly bright pink, gold and teal because I love how maddeningly bright all my Tzeentch daemons look.

The problem with the soul grinder though is it's more a unit I bought because I needed more skyfire, I didn't give all my princes wings so I needed something reliable.

>>46204974
Give them depth and options.
Right now I'm pretty sure there is only one Kroot entry in Tau book

Kroot are pretty easy to expand to Harlaquins/Militarum Tempestus tier minidex by just splitting the Generic Kroot blob unit into its pieces

Now will do that make them "good" is another question

The Hrud, Umbra, Rak'gol, Slaugth and Thyrrus need to be added as Dark Eldar allies. They're just too interesting to let them sit in the fluff.

Also, I noticed that Mandrakes, Hrud, Umbra, Wraithkind Kabalites, Company of the Shadow, and the Horned God (Imperial Armour v10) all share a shadow monster theme. Could they all be related to the deity Qah?

>>46205311
Nigga that's 50 points a SQUAD. Your average gunline includes two or more HWS's. To get them both to test orders on 9 (worse than the cane) and leadership on 9 (worse than the flag) and also get twin-linking (okay that's actually really nice) you'll need to pay 100 points, and unlike the CCS upgrades the cost isn't flat; it increases with every subsequent HWS you take. If you're not trying for twin-linking, it's both cheaper and more effective to take the flag and cane.

Would be a better idea to attach the psyker to a nearby 20-ma blob, and have him hand out prescience as it's needed. Upgrade him to mastery 2, then pay another 25 points to add an astropath to your CCS, and you've bought 3 warp charge for 100 points (a REALLY good price) and can attempt to twinlink both of your squads with 4-9 WC a turn. In addition, since the astropath rolls on telepathy, you get the Shriek (HILARIOUS vs enemy deep-strikers) and a 1-in-6 chance of Invisibility, which you can give to your 20-man Primaris Psyker team to make them effectively invulnerable (of course, you might have another good target for invis lying around, but he's the default).

>>46204974
Kroot are good right now. They are bland tho. Maybe cheapen krootox just a little bit and add (relevant) options for shaper, hounds and oxes.

>>46205430
>Also, I noticed that Mandrakes, Hrud, Umbra, Wraithkind Kabalites, Company of the Shadow, and the Horned God (Imperial Armour v10) all share a shadow monster theme. Could they all be related to the deity Qah?

That would explain why Mandrakes are considered daemons by Grey Knight weapons and yet the Harlequins don't exterminate them. In accordance with Hrud prophecy, Qah is gathering forces to fight Slaanesh.

>>46205398
They do have a few units, the problem is that they all have paper saves and most of them are OOP. There's the normal kroot warriors unit, which can take a shaper, krootox riders, and kroot hounds. Then there's 3 different Knarloc units in fast attack. Which also all suck.

Is the answer never?

I'm starting to fear the answer is never.

>>46206132

I'm hoping soon-ish, as I'm looking to get back into the game and I love the background and models of the Nids.

>>46206132
Trust me you don't want it to happen.

Orks had formations before they got their Decurion, Tyranids have even more than that, case and point is that if you do get any 'update' it will be in the exact same style as Ghazghkull.

Don't wish for disappointment.

Alrigjt, let's talk about some Spess Mehreen chapters.

The Steel Confessors were secretly founded by the AdMech using Iron Hands Gene-Seed, and once they were found out, the AdMech reluctantly agreed to make them an official chapter, or summat like that.

>>46205780
>>46205430
The Dark Eldar codex mentions stuff about Commorragh being adjacent to a realm of shadow daemons whose touch freezes the soul and that Archon Vect summoned these creatures to punish/create the wraithkind.

The Horned God was a daemon prince with a unique shadow aesthetic. He drew cultists, daemons and even Night Lords to his banner. He was banished but still exists in the warp.

The Company of the Shadow serves an evil spirit that eats souls in the millions, leaving the victims as a mindless zombie horde the Company uses for slave labor. They're trying to create daemon worlds to extend the master's influence.

There's no explicit connection, but the implication is there.

Choose one thing from a codex you do not play that you believe needs improvement/buffs.

I've never played 'Nids but I've thought for a long time that Carnifexes deserve to be the lumbering terrifying death machines of old. No ranged weapons save perhaps a bio-plasma attack. I guess mostly I want Screamer-Killers back.

>>46206307
Flat stealth or choose one terrain type a the start (ruins, forests, etc) but rest of those are bit too much for an 6p model. And making them more expensive takes their role of cheap numerous utility/harassment unit.

Maybe something more simple, like giving Kroot Rifles +1 strength in the first round of combat to make them more useful there, and being able to buy Shotgun rounds for a 12" assault profile so they can actually shoot and charge?

Yeah, fuck it, you're right. For the same cost I can pimp out Terminators and end up with much the same stats except 2+/5++.

We recently had a campaign game where 'chaos' space marines attacked a 'loyal' space marine chapter for being heretical.

Shotguns sounds fun and maybe shaper could call mini waagh (furious charge) once per game for his unit. Real kicker would be emp/krak grenades upgrade.

Tau are the most annoying because of their playerbase. The hobby in general attracts a lot of fairly obtuse, self-centered, socially inept people.. but the Tau playerbase seems to be *almost* exclusively populated by idiots.

He's right though. I've got a budy that plays tau. I love the guy but he's an asshat. He wins most of the games he plays against my IG and my other buddy's Nids, but just decided his list wasn't competitive enough, so he bought three Riptides.

>>46207903
>>46207935

The lore can be cherry-picked for the parts you like, or disregarded altogether.
The easy mode codex though. Tau have the game handed to them on a silver platter. They basically deploy and play yahtzee. Very little decision making involved with that army, as compared to others - even Eldar. I'd be embarrased to field a Tau army.

Looking at how their rules are designed - it's pretty clear they are aiming at youngsters, or waac manchildren. Both demographics have plenty of big robot anime weaboo fans. Tau players remind me of MtG people.

>>46208104

>>46208381
>somewhat acceptable

I guess we should add homophobic bigot to the list of common traits the Tau playerbase possesses.

>all this tau hate

>>46208367
I know this is hyperbole, but you're still retarded.

>>46208441
The latter. The same for the Adepta Sororitas and their power armor.
The black carapace is used to make the armor "act" together with the wearer, making them faster. The Sororitas and the inquisitors, instead, will be slightly slowed down by it

>>46208441
They make non-spacemarine power armor.

>>46207783
Well, when the transport is as likely to die to small arms as the passengers, and likely to cause more damage to said passengers than small arms in question, not to mention them then being lefts in the open cowering from pinning even before casualties....

For armies with passable saves trukks are a thing of envy, hell, if orks had affordable armour they'd be far better.

But ramshackle as is, is pointless, it'll only do any good if the trukk is hit by a single penetrating hits and then saves that, if more than one shoot is fired, chances are it's a wreck anyway, I'll take the 5++ forgeworld Ramshackle grants.

Nothing, your the typical /tg/ poster on 40k/wip. The guy who sticks around complaining about rules instead of painting. The guy who always posts the same wip picture from like 3 years ago, never finishing the project you begin. The guy always talking about OP teams referring to mathammer because you never have the time or motivation to actually play the game. Your the guy trolling post of hobbyists encouraging to WYSIWYG and playing fully painted, because you know deep down you don't have the heart for it yourself.

Theres nothing wrong with you, you're the spirit of this forum as it stands today. #/tg/´sdegenerativeyouthruinsthehobby

To be fair, when comparing it to the latest and greatest of Eldar Codexes, it wouldn't even be a discussion to put the ramshackle on all ork vehicles (walker, heavy, fast... you name it!), and make it a "on a 3+ you downgrade it to a glancing hit", this would actually be in line with what counts as a legal option these days, its silly I know, but its still would be "fair" when you check with the authors of codex Opdar (oh..

No. Every other game is boring in comparison. 40k has the best story on the market. The only downside is the atrocious rules and the price gouging. So the hobby pretty much sucks.

What channel should I watch to learn Tau tactics/strategy while I paint?

>>46210518
>Tau

Pick one

>>46210594
;~]

>>46210518

The first lesson is learning to employ your markerlights. The second lesson is to learn to Move-Shot-Hide with jetpack units.

>>46210632
Well I've got that, but I mean more of what units should I be using to attack what, list building tips,etc.

>>46210685

This is basic shit man are you new to 40k or something. Especially with an army as braindead as Tau. Unless your army is like Kroot and Vespid only or something.

>>46210685

>>46208622
What about it? I've run first edition Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Deathwatch (currently ongoing). I've run some one-shots with Black Crusade.

>>46210945

That guy is a fluff player. He's good for watching forged narrative and nice terrain/armies but I wouldn't watch him to get better at the game.

Tinkering around with changes/additions for my War Convocation.

The core of what I have is:

Battle Maniple
10x Vanguard - 3x Plasma
5x Rangers - 2x Arquebus
5 Stalkers
5 Infiltrators
Ironstrider
Onager - Icarus Array

Cult Mechanicus
Tech Priest Dominus
3x Grav Kataphron
3x Grav Kataphron

Knight
Knight Crusader - Battle Cannon, Rocket Pod

Flesh Tearers
Sanguinary Priest

5x Scouts

Drop Pod
Drop Pod
Drop Pod

Inquisitor
Ordo Malleus - Psyocculum, 3x Servo Skulls

I have 56 points left over - I'm considering a few of the following:

-Drop the Psyocculum - swap the Flesh Tearers to Raven Guard - add a scout squad (for CAD) and a character w/hunter's eye to beef up a kataphron unit. The negative here being I no longer am maintaining any ant-psyker tools outside volume of fire.

-Add a second Ironstrider - simple enough, just a second move 9" Las Cannon. The downside is it makes the Ironstrider unit more of a target and they take up a bigger foot print.

-Give the Sang. Priest an auspex and melta bomb, give the Knight Mask of the Omnisiah, add 1 Ranger. This gives whichever Kataphron unit the Priest is hanging out with -1 cover to their target, ITWND to my Knight (making him more durable), and just another body for the rangers. This is the most piecemeal option so it feels like it lacks direction.

Thoughts?

Anyone know what channel is good for nid tactics?

>>46210841
I've only played for about 2 years, but my first army was GK, I was building Tau before the new codex and and only have about 3 matches with them, so Tau is a HUGE change for me from GK. But yes, I'm a considerable newbie when it comes to strategy/listbuilding.

Read your Tau codex units and wargear entirely. I assume you've already done this.

Now look at any 3 top 16 Tau lists from 2016.

From there, it should be plain as day how to play Tau. There is no hidden nuance specific to the Tau faction on how to play them well. The army's rules carries itself. Any special tricks you can do with Tau you can do with anyone else. You don't even need to cascade markerlights anymore because who the fuck even needs to with Stormsurges and Riptide Wing.

>>46208488

Just put Crisis, Riptides, Stormsurges on the table and roll dice. You'll win 60%+ of your games without moving a single unit. No, JSJ does not count as moving you delusional little weebs.

The army is targeted at kids and retards. If you cant dominate anything short of a tourney level competitive meta, then its because you rolled terribly. The codex is built to carry players that cant think tactically in the slightest.

Not only this but Huron did it FAST, as in, in the space of several decades, since the Badab War only ended in 912.M41 so he's a relative newcomer in the grand scheme of things, but he's accumulated more power faster than many more well established warlords."

I doubt a Baneblade could. The worst part is that this is basically shopping for Tyberos. One theory is that the Space Sharks are so brutal is so they have an easier time getting new supplies.

>>46212779
>Tyberos>Blackheart

I dont know about that anon. Are you not familiar with Lufgt Hurons exploits? And what Huron Blackheart has accomplished since? Tyberos is a bad dude, but if we are going by fluff, he's not on Huron's level.

If that's the battle I think it is, it wasn't. The Ultramarine's whole goal there was to delay long enough for the citizens to evacuate due to realizing a tomb was reawakening beneath them.

The people evacuated successfully, but they lost like a full company of marines and a named ven dread.

Reading Gaunts Ghosts. Enjoyable, but Gaunt and his men are regularly making use of Chaos heavy weapons, machines, ammo and firearms during their missions.

This is fucking heretical and dangerous. Gaunt needs to be shot.

>>46213168
Im not sure the renegade side getting beat up by several chapters, 10 million guardsmen/imperial navy ships, and betrayed by their allies in any way translates to Tyberos being more of a badass than Huron.

Like I said, Huron's resume speaks for itself. Tyberos hasnt yet approached that level. Rising through the ranks because of pure badassery? Yes you can make the argument he's matched Huron in that regard, but it ends there. I suspect you dont know much about the Astral Claws, Huron, or the Red Corsairs.

About tree fiddy.

>>46213556
I'd say. I'm trying to remember what battle that was, but the current space marine codex is balls and doesn't even list dates, let alone any details. The closest I could find there was the Damnos incident, but I don't think that was it.

>>46213593
Those are skulls of humanity - real human beans, you heretic. Also, that's 1E, which remains my favorite. Chaos wasn't even a thing at the time that picture was made, and the Eye of Terror was just a big warp storm that hid Outlaw Worlds from the greater Imperium for 7 years or so at a time.

>>46213113
I think dude just has a hard on for Tyberos. We're talking about Huron Blackheart and he just randomly chimes in with 'Tyberos is better'.

>>46213528
You've got to consider how fucked up he is now though. The Emperor was an all round great guy that no one could really defeat in his prime, but as of now? Mildew>Emperor I could actually see going fusty as an actual issue for the emps corpse

It's 235 points but all you get is a battle cannon and 3 autocannons at 6 HP. The malcador defender is way better.

>>46213701
You cant compare the corpse emperor to Huron Blackheart. Huron has no deficiencies except being in constant pain. He required bionic implants to survive, but if that makes him weak - then there is an entire Legion of bionically altered Space Marines that are weak.

Besides, in one of the IA books, and in the NL trilogy, Huron is a complete badass. No where in any of the fluff is he ever described as weak or broken. Just in pain and very, very angry.

Oh, it was Damnos. That's the assault on Kellenport, and Agrippan is the ven dread.

I remember it because despite the overrepresentation of, and GW's hard-on for, the Ultramarines, I do like them as one of the few chapters that get shit done in cool ways, almost as much as the Black Templar. Also, Agrippan was hardcore.

>>46213825
I'll take a Malcador at 235 points waaaaay before I drop 888-1050 on a lord of skulls. I dont see how you can even make the argument that the malcador is worse.

Not sure which one you're referring to, but the Iron Warriors replace mutated parts with bionics. Doesn't help that their bones get twisted as they get older, but Huron has a little daemon familiar. That alone makes him weak.

Shrouding, Adrenal glands, Intervening models, and more fexes. That usually does it. You generally only have to live through two rounds of shooting.

>>46214498
Ah. Well when you graduate and get a job in your field, you'll be able to afford them. Which will be well before affordable 3d printers can make quality 28mm models.
Unless you're in undergrad and plan on going into a specialized program with an extended residency.

>>46214420
At the rate we're advancing, I'd say 5-10. They have to figure out how to get rid of the grain that comes out when its printing the models in layers.

>>46214471
>B-b-but the suit is designed in such a manner that it really is an MC

Anon, Stormsurges have 2 pilots, sitting in seats, operating sticks, looking at screens. While Dreadnoughts have a dude interfaced in to the suit so that it functions like his body. And Helbrutes are part flesh, and damn near the definition of a monstrous creature.

>Git gud scrub

99.99% of all Tau players.

>>46214640
And better material. And fine details.

>>46214712
the stormsurge should be an opentopped walker since those braindead commies were too poor and stupid to put a roof on the damn thing.

>>46214420
>>46214436
>>46214640
Current 3D printers can achieve layer thicknesses of 0.1mm, which is good enough for 40k reproductions. High end printers tend to have superfluous features like multiple strand feeds, which we don't need since you're painting the end result. An armature strand feed can be useful but if you're clever you can print individual parts with extra sprue-like supports you just trim off. Cost is kinda prohibitive though, you'd end up needing to print like two entire armies before it would end up cheaper than just buying the damn things.

>>46214942
you could also sell models/customs to people to offset the cost

Hey guys, hows my list? I'm working with the models I have available.

1850 Hunter Contingent + VX1-0 Drone Network

Commander - 2 Marker Drones, Drone Controller, CnC, MSSS, PENchip, Shield Gen, Iridium suit

4x Crisis Suits - Fusion/Plasma, Target Lock

1 Ghostkeel - CDF, Ion Raker, Flamer

4 Pathfinders, Bonding Knife

3x 5 man Strike Teams, Bonding Knife

Stormsurge - Pulse Driver, Airbursting Frag Launcher, Shield Gen, EWO

Firebase Cadre

Riptide - Ion Accel, EWO, Stim injector, Fusion Blasters

2x Broadsides - 2 Missile Drones, Misslefists, SMS, EWO

VX1-0 Formation Detachment
2x 4 Gun Drones
2x 4 Marker Drones

>>46215028
If you tried to sell copies you'd have to go through all the clandestine bullshit, paranoia and dealing with jerkoffs that casters currently have to deal with. Custom prints puts you in direct competition with Shapeways, who can probably do it better and cheaper, and comission work where you also design the item opens the whole nightmare realm web designers live in, along with competing with other schmucks trying to make money out of their printers.

>>46215137
I added Bonding Knife on those squads because it actually equaled out to 1850 flat.

Seriously? Even for 1,500 that seems pretty weak.

>>46215137
Make 3 of the crisis suits double plasma with no support systems (maybe Advanced Targeting if you can afford it), and one double fusion with target lock.

Lose the marker drones on the commander, you're not going to be using them that often. Add a VRT, and drop the drone controller OR add 3 gun drones and a shield drone to the crisis suits. They're running with the chief.

Lose the bonding knives, give the strike teams and pathfinders a Shas'ui. 2 marker drones for the pathfinders.

Lose one of the marker drone units and take another gun drone squad instead. Use the gun drone squads as cover for your fire warriors when you take objectives.

I recommend getting a Fireblade too and sticking him on a bigger unit of Fire Warriors, no Shas'ui, and make sure he has a shield drone with him - you want something that can Look Out Sir a heavy flamer for him and maybe live. It's pretty nice combining the fire of all the fire warrior squads and giving them all Volley Fire.

I haven't been calculating the point costs of this. If it's getting too expensive, change the crisis suits to single twin linked weapons, and take the CnC off the commander (since that makes it redundant). That's like, 55 points right there. Also a good way to get an extra suit with another twin linked plasma rifle.

>>46215694
>>46215137
Oh yeah, and Stormsurge is kind of a dick move at that point cost. Consider stealth suits, flyers, piranhas/tetras, more crisis, etc.

>>46215721
Hell, make one of the fire warrior teams into breachers and throw them in a devilfish. Don't forget your guardian drones.

I also have nine more Lootas and 10 Gretchin. My next project is finding a KFF Big Mek and fitting it onto a bike. I can only find dumb shokk attack ones.
