So, this is what I was thinking about doing for a Death-Cult army.

1500pts SoB

-Uriah
-Priest with an Eviscerator
-Priest with an Eviscerator
-Priest with an Eviscerator
-Priest with an Eviscerator
-Priest with an Eviscerator

-Warband x5 Death Cultists in an Immolator
-Warband x5 Death Cultists in an Immolator
-Warband x5 Death Cultists in an Immolator
-Warband x5 Death Cultists in an Immolator
-Warband x5 Death Cultists in an Immolator
-Warband x5 Cursaders in an Immolator (Uriah goes here)

Troops
-Sisters Squad x2 melta in an Immolator
-Sisters Squad x2 melta in an Immolator

That leaves 65 points, that I'm not sure how to spend. Maybe a cheap Inquistor to go somewhere? Or Replace one of the Eviscerator Priests with Cortez, and a similar Inquistorial warband.

Thinking pic related for the Eviscerator Priests.

"The Crusade was based around a dozen capital starships of the Imperial Navy, 5 provisional companies of Space Marines made up of contingents supplied by almost a dozen different Chapters and 19 Regiments of Imperial Guard, seven of them from Brimlock."

Just posting some proofs on your behalf.

However Big Daddy Abby is a bit more important and has the attention of:

"Battlefleet Cadia, Battlefleet Corona, Battlefleet Gothic, Battlefleet Scarus, Battlefleet Solar, 57 Imperial Navy Battlegroups, including Battlegroup Nemesis, Battlegroup Imperatis, and the Bakka Sector Task Force, 28 Adeptus Astartes Chapters, 5 Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas, Imperial Guard regiments from 18 worlds, Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii regiments, 4 Titan Legions, Centurio Ordinatus, Eldar fleets, Necron fleets "

Alternatively, this is the download link http://www.mediafire.com/?rc2t1c1t757bdyo

It's got almost every conceivable SH mission in there, but they've totally fucked up the mission names so you gotta go rooting around for the ones you want. Sin of Damnation is in the folder called 40 inside the missions folder. You gotta take it out of there and rename it to something the game will recognize as a campaign. I replaced the games tutorial campaign called 0 with Sin of Damnation by renaming it to 0.

Let me know if you need help.

>>46227866
>The point was about Tau only having a 0.3% chance of being enemies for special snowwflake roll-chapters/regiments, when they've been encountered by plenty of Imp companies and usually win against the Imps

You are defending your point with saying Damocles was a huge deal when you only got a response from ~12/1000+ Space Marine Chapters.

So you are right, 0.3% is wrong
Now it is 0.012%

>>46228021
It was also a total of five companies from those chapters.

Considering there are 100.000 companies of Marines in the imperium its 0,005% actually.

>>46228071
That assumes they're at full strength. Most Chapters probably only have 8-900ish. Less if they just went through a major campaign.

Thanks. I play in a CSM-heavy meta, and I've decided to write this stuff up to try and make playing them more fun for all of us.

>(I'd make "only the best" global, but that's a personal bugbear.)

Many of the others do make use of Chaos Cultists though, and often use them as fodder while their elites roll up and smash shit. Black Legion uses them too, but only when they're making a large, all-out assault, and even then they're still distraction units.

>Unless that was the intention.

It actually wasn't. What I intended was for them to be IMMUNE to the effects of the Warpstorm table, because they'd be aligned to all gods and therefore protected. I'll have to re-word that better.

> I'd drop the special rules bit.

That's a good point. I hadn't considered the bit about Fortifications and gun emplacements.

>Maybe D3+6 bloodletters instead though. Not sure.

That's fair. 7-12 is a little large, now that I think about it. I was going off of the assumption they'd need to be bigger because they'll basically do nothing but sit there for one turn, as they can't assault.

I'll look it over again, re-work it, and re-post it later.

>>46227342
Those DC assassins are going to get shot up the turn they disembark.
What's on the Immolators?

>>46227790
Going from a straight old vs new:

BL:
Chosen being buffed and made troops, for free, feels hicky.

Black Crusaders rule might as well be appended to the VOTLW instead of having all the units listed.

AL:
Let them have acute senses as well, no tactical mastery about arriving at the wrong table ende.

IW:
Havocs as Troops is a plain no, let them take more heavy weapons per marines maybe.

Up the Obliterator rate.

Also, where the Legion Bombards at?
Git some BS4 artillry battery options in there.

NL:
Just say all but cultists are immune to fear.

Also, RC's get to charge from a safe reserve deployment, but deep-strikers that risk mishaps cant? Where's the shock n' awe there,? They stand around and look extra brooding during the enemy shooting phase?

TS:
No mutations allowed but still allow possessed and spawn?

DG:
Plague thrower, why not just gets hots & shred upgrade for flamers like the Purge?

Slow and implacable, no bikers, really?

RC:
Chaos boarding shield, why not just a regular boarding shield? Hell having to be side to side with as brother for the bonus defeats the purpose of a boarding shield in closed corridors.

>>46228349
> D3+6 bloodletters
> 7-12

It's Khorne, base it on wounds or make it 8.
Because Khorne.

>>46228395
I derped on that bit. Twin-linked Multi-meltas for all.
Think I should swap some Immolators out for Rhinos and bigger squads? I was a little afraid that the DCA would stand a good chance of wiping the opponent in assault and leave them open to get shot down on the opponent's phase, if the squads are bigger.

The only time I've seen AOS mentioned in the 40k general are people saying that 40k is going to end up as bad as it.

So if you believe that GW specifically shills in threads that are only talking about GW products, and are doing so by bashing their own product, then they would have to be the worst shills in the entire history of shilling.

the number thing is silly, its something that would make sense to retcon but its too entrenched in the fluff. look at the new warzone damocles books, WS/RG had 2-3 companies worth of marines fighting Tau who were deploying all kinds of anti-marine weaponary/tech and the marines would get their arses kicked all the time. no way they could keep up with attrition.

no, they are the faggots who freak out when you point out how AoS is shit, and 40k is declining fast, while profits dropped sharply because of AoS.

they are also the faggots who cry whenever anybody mentions chinese fw.

they come here because they are into 40k, and they just so happen to be GW (store) employees, so they get assmad anytime anybody states the obvious.

>>46228407
>Chosen being buffed and made troops, for free, feels hicky.

The reason for that was because Chosen are already extremely overpriced. The +1 WS/BS and Troops makes them an actually viable choice.

Remember, Black Legion operates in small, elite teams of powerful units. The buff to Terminators and Chosen reflects that.

>Black Crusaders rule might as well be appended to the VOTLW instead of having all the units listed.

Black Crusaders is dependent on the Warlord being alive, and doesn't affect all units that can take VotLW.

>Let them have acute senses as well, no tactical mastery about arriving at the wrong table ende.

It wouldn't benefit them, as none of them get Outflank.

>Havocs as Troops is a plain no

This was chosen because Iron Warriors basically invented Havocs, and I felt it more appropriate to give them that option that to entirely invent new units. These tactics are also designed to be compatible with FW units, so they can still get those BS4 artillery.

>Up the Obliterator rate.

Iron Warriors make use of Obliterators, and probably use them more than other Legions, but they sure as hell don't like them. They'd use them, but not all that well.

>No mutations allowed but still allow possessed and spawn?

Hadn't thought about that one. That's an oversight on my part.

>Plague thrower, why not just gets hots & shred upgrade for flamers like the Purge?

Because Death Guard are about spreading rot and ruin, not just destruction like the Purge.

>no bikers, really?

Yes, because it is completely at odds with their fluff. The entire point of these tactics is to be as close to the fluff as possible.

I'll take take another look at these, though. I appreciate any critiques on them, that's why I post them.

>>46228962

It has nine hp and an invuln save. Its attacks go up for every hp you lose as well and has IWND. (And you keep the attacks.)

Word is you boys were beguiled by a lesser daemon that set up shop on your Fortress Monastery, which none of you failed to notice and convinced you to attack a fellow founding Legion on the eve of Abaddons Black Crusade.

I bought in the last 2 years some units of both SM (as suggestion for a newcomer), and a couple of skitarii boxes because I loved them. I couldn't finish some of them because they bored me (sm tac squad and skitarii rangers, in particular).
So i decided to try it again with the Tau, which I always loved the most but was afraid of buying. Will I be bullied if I play the Tau?

The rules letting you ally with imperial guard are kind of unnecessary since Forge World put out the fantastic Renegades and Heretics army list.

Aside from that...
>BL
Fine
>WB
You should make it so a Dark Councillor can take other wargear, his selection is rather limited.
>AL
If you have the master of deception warlord trait you should roll 2d3 and add them together.
Also possibly allow any infantry squad of marines to buy Camo Cloaks at cost (2 ppm?)
>IW
I would also give basilisk/medusa batteries as a 0-1 in heavy support. Give them an option to upgrade to BS4 for 10 points.
>NL
Since fear is bad, maybe 'Any non-vehicle enemy that normally would automatically pass or not need to take Fear checks must take Fear checks on 2D6 as if they did not have such a rule'
>WE
Should change Hatred of the psyker to just be 'the unit gains preferred enemy while in close combat with a unit that contains one or more models with the psyker USR until the end of the turn' in order to cut down on bookkeeping (since RAW you would only get that while putting attacks into the psyker, and that's a lot of extra rolls to keep track of if you're in a big melee combat).
>EC
Fine
>DG
Change plague thrower's name to bile spewer.
>Red Corsairs
Boarding shields usually give invuln, not a cover save. The Horus heresy one gives a 6++ which could be interesting when paired with mark of tzeentch.
>Purge/Cleaved
Fine
>FH
This one seems too laden with drawbacks for no real benefit. A free chaos boon, and +1 WS in a challenge don't really seem like good trade offs. Make IC's deal instant death on a 6 to wound in challenges and give all characters shred in a challenge.
>Misery
The Witching Moon seems to be their main benefit but there's only a 50% chance of it actually happening. Add in a way to get a reroll, such as for each IC slain by your warlord you can summon it again.

Hey, so the Dark Angels said there was some mutants and heretics around here. We were thinking about driving over them with some Baneblades. You know anything about that, Astartes?

>>46231587
I wouldn't say it's impossible for single or a few defecting, but whole chapters joining is nonsense, and wouldn't happen.

>>46231587
Not sure where they're getting that, at least the Astarte's part. Sisters are fanatical enough that they have trouble getting the Hospitallers to not murder important Xenos prisoners. Astarte's go Renegade on enough of a regular basis that I could see a company's with managing to negotiate themselves as mercenaries with the Tau, possibly in exchange for supplies, shelter, and the Tau telling the Imperium 'Oh? Those renegades? They attacked us so we blew them all up. No need to send anyone looking for them.'

>>46231674
I doubt they would JOIN the tau though. When a space marines goes renegade it's usually for selfish means especially if they become mercenaries. They might get some tau stuff, but I doubt they'd join the greater good. When they join chaos they get to aquire power. When they join the tau they kind of just become below mediocre rank wise.

Your a fatass tubby lardboi. Go kill yourself cuntbag. Not even reading your shitty post.

>>46231181
I doubt it. Just adjust your list to fit your meta. It's very easy to build a powerful Tau list, and they can be no fun to play against.

I'd advise against fielding a Stormsurge at all, unless you're meta is super competitive.

I need some Mathhammer here. I'm attacking a Tau Supremacy Suit (T9 W10 2+ 4++) with 2 units (6 models) of Heavy Grav Cannons (Salvo6 BS3 Grav AP2) who reroll all failed hits.

How reliably can I kill this thing?

>>46231807
Yeah. It'd be more of a Kroot situation, where they're given more leeway due to technically being mercs.

Either way, there's only room for 1 in the fluff. I doubt Tau space could support multiple space marine mercenary bands, let alone keep them relatively secret.

Gork, and ONLY because the Mork has a KFF and a massive base for a big bubble

>>46231807
And when you join any Empire or faction you get their protection. There's more to power than shooting lasers out your hand, political power is useful in itself in most situations. Also hand lasers end up coming at the cost of becoming a toy for Chaos for thousands of years it's hardly worth it compared to joining other groups which might disgust you, and more difficult to join at times. The pay off is more worth it.

>The lord of skulls is going to pummel a warhound very quickly.
nah the warhound should have 2 doublebarreled turbolaser destructors. thats 4 strength D large blasts

I'm totally new to 40k and want to play Imperial Guard or Sisters of Battle. What should I buy as a minimum to get started with either of those armies? I'll most likely be playing casually against a couple other friends, not tournament play or whatever.

>>46231641

Nope, just Astartes, no heretics, however...

The Dark Angels are consorting, obeying and possibly worshipping a lesser daemon of Tzeentch, it's the only explanation for their stupidity

Sister models are rarer, older, more expensive, and more poorly sculpted.

>>46231873

I'm getting about 9 wounds on average (round up at all times) which isn't awful and honestly kind of indicative of how dumb Grav is.

The only issue is it then shoots you with the D-blast and that's it.

According to the daemons codex, heralds of khorne are merely the strongest bloodletters. Heralds of Tzeentch are different creatures from pink and blue horrors but are still horrors. Heralds of Nurgle seem to be different from plaguebearers as well though they go through the same conversion process as plaguebearers? And heralds of slaanesh, are explicitly daemonettes that are "more pleasing" to the Dark Prince.

The Changeling however, is none of these. The Changeling is described as literally the embodiment of Tzeentch's need to meddle and deceive.

Farsight is Big Boss Outer Heaven in spess

One thing I have learned from Farsight's Codex Supplement, is that the Tau have crazy planetary engineering tools. Farsight's Enclaves are fucking weird.

>>46232235

But if I made a character in 40k with those traits, he'd be a mary sue who doesn't fit the setting.

It's so the Tau Empire (more dictatorship really) doesn't colonize them, is my theory anyway

Just got one of pic related at a clearance sale for $15.

I'm going to give it some Imperial bling bits, an underslung magnetizable TL defensive weapon and and magnetizable option for a missile rack on top of its head.

It will serve my Chapter as a Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought. The rules for this thing are free from Forge World, too. I won't be playing in an official GW store so it's not like cheap alternative models will be much of a problem.

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Warhammer_40000/Deredeo_Pattern_Dreadnought_V2.pdf

Am I mistaken or is the Deredeo, Space Marines' best anti-cheese unit? It is a Contemptor with only 1 attack but it has BS5 TL S8 tank hunter autocannons with the option to skyfire. Perfect for battering Knights, Flyers, and similar faggotry. And it can take a missile artillery platform and/or ceramite plating.

The Tau have their own seppuku so he'd use a proper Tau ritual knife or something of the like.

honestly though, he'll probably end up in a kind of Grand Alliance with IoM when End Time hits 40k.

>>46233197

It's so obvious that he will use the Dawn Blade to do it instead of the proper ritual. Just killing himself is not all that interesting.

>Killing himself with a magic blade that it is part of some prophecy?

Now, that's something!

>>46233222

>Alliance.
>Imperium

Don't think so. He's more likely to travel to another galaxy along with the Silent King, than any kind of alliance with the crumbling Imperium of Man.

Isn't the Dawn Blade fuckoff huge in comparison to him though? Or is he going to seppuku IN the suit?

I kind of want GW to go that route because of how retarded it would be. Not that FSEeaboos would mind.

>>46233259
But why would he though? He has his suspicions that the Blade is keeping him alive and surely he has thought about what would happen if he tried killing himself with it. Then again it doesn't have to be willingly on his part. Accidents happen.

>>46231807

Space Marines are perfectly capable of joining the Tau. The only problem would be logistics, and many chapters have overcome that through scavenging and organizing into self-sufficient fleets.

The real issue is the mindset of 99.9% of marines. They wouldn't join the Tau. They would literally rather join Chaos, march into the Eye of Terror, or take their own lives than join the Tau.

I imagine a very special case can be made if there was ever a chapter that was like the Relictors, except instead of coveting and using Chaos artifacts, they used xenos tech. They would probably join the Tau as conditional allies.

A fully integrated gue'vesa chapter would NEVER EVER happen, and no amount of "it's a big galaxy" bullshit will change that. Marines and xenos are like oil and water. Even simple battlefield ceasefires or truces like BA vs. Necrons generate tons of shitstorms and disbelief. Space Marines aren't Imperial Guardsmen. Even the toughest and most loyal regiments wouldn't defect to Tau. There's no way literal genetically coded weapons like Space Marines would.

Aiding Tau? Sure. Fighting alongside Tau for a time? Sure. Join the Tau? Never.

>>46227790
Word Bearers tactic is weird: Why do Dark Apostles and Councilors get Fearless from the MoCU? They already have fearless from Zealot.

I'd expand the Dark Councilor's wargear options since Apostles have garbage selection right now. Maybe include something for either daemon summoning, possession/demon saves to units that normally don't have it, or boost possessed/let them be taken as troops?

Hey /tg/ kind of new player here. I have a dozen or so games over the past 2 years, all with CSM.

Im almost done painting a Nurgle Daemon army, Daemonic Incursion.
Tallyband, Rotswarm, and a GUO for the HQ formation. My question is - what psychic powers do I want for my 2 Heralds and the GUO? I'll be infiltrating 20 Nurgling bases to lock stuff in combat as I footslog 50 Plaguebearers. 12 Plague Drones and 3 Beasts of Nurgle will also be rushing across the table. GUO is deepstriking near 1 of 2 instruments (no scatter).

Do I go biomancy, telepathy, or malefic? Survivability or summoning badically. All 3 HQ's have ML's maxed.

Hey /tg/, it's been a while.
A friend sold me 40-odd battle sisters and an immolator(? The tank with the TL melta/flamer on top?) (albeit some without backpacks, what's green stuff for amirite?) for E50. I'm thinking of eventually grabbing a platoon of Deathkrieg, since I saved the cash on the sisters.

Firstly; how does one strip paint from models? I remember using brake fluid back in the day with mixed results and have heard about washing up liquid. Is there anything better/more cost effective though?

Secondly: Cost of deathkrieg aside, how advisable is it to pair Sisters with Imps? Assuming I'm using the Krieg as cadians because simplicity.

>>46234342
stripping paint from sisters? They're metal models right?

Feel free to use the harshest paint stripper your local hardware store can legally sell since it won't put a dent in metal. If your planning on stripping plastic or resin you'll need to be more careful.

>>46233988
What orks need is better shooting

Cheaper weapons and more ability to take them

Let battlewagons take supa shootas and deffstorm cannons. Make template weapons they have access to better. Let boy squads take 3 special weapons per 10 boyz.

Make waaagh give all (non template) weapons an extra shot

>>46234342
Imps do everything the SoB do better, seeing as though you're going Krieg you're probably just in it for the aesthetics right now.

>>46234140
Telepathy is only an option for Daemon Princes and Slaanesh Daemons.

Biomancy on the GUO for sure. I'd probably do Nurgle on the Heralds.

Basically. I've wanted a krieg army since I was 17, if I'm getting back into 40k, I may as well build and paint slowly, make my dream army. I can use the sisters to pad out the points/look pretty(as 20 year old models can) until I've a full krieg list. I'm also going to proxy. Any walkers I can with SD gundam kits specifically pic related, but mostly out of mischief knowing it'll bug lore purists and thinking that imp walkers look terrible.

>>46234140
Heralds and GUO can't even take telepath I don't think.

GUO should always roll biomancy.
I would go one herald with the bell artifact and 2/3 times on maleific 0/1 on the new nurgle table as a support and the other one I have no idea, 1/2 on biomancy 1/2 on nurgle?

The new nurgle powers are actually pretty good to be honest.

>>46234140
Biomancy for days on GUO. Iron arm or bust. id slap the 2 greater rewards on him too, all in.

Heralds should probably go nurgle. If you go malefic make sure to summon horrors for more warpcharge dice

Good luck with your list all nurgle in 40k is much worse than in fantasy.

From the Farsight supplement

>>46227790

Black Legion "Black Crusaders" and "For the Warmaster" seem redundant, aren't those what warlord traits are for? Why not cut those and let your "Black Crusaders" be a warlord trait that you can always swap out your other trait for if you don't like it.

But the Abaddon thing is dumb, he would have Legion Tactics(Black Legion) anyway and he already has a fixed warlord trait with similar(though reduced) effect and the same fluff.

>Models with the Mark of Chaos Undivided may join units with other Marks of Chaos, but do not benefit from any mark-specific Icons or other Mark-related bonuses that the unit has (such as an Icon of Excess)

One model with Zealot gives it to the whole unit, this needs to be rebalanced. It also is redundant with the undivided icon listed in the codex(vengeance). You would want some kind of reason to still take an Icon of Vengeance in an officially undivided unit: a fluffy use for it, for Word Bearers, would be allied Chaos Daemons don't scatter and don't have to test instability when within 6" of a friendly Icon of Vengeance: do that and you'll fix it.

Y-yes Commissar, sir, you're right sir! Returning to my post, sir!

>>46234908

Alpha Legion is perfect.

Iron Warriors ability would probably be written as "Stealth(Ruins, Fortifications, Buildings)" in an official codex.

Night Lords is great.

World Eaters, once again, huge army-wide special rule there with Hatred, which is redundant with your special character who already has it. You could simply give them Hatred(Psykers). Also, they shouldn't be able to even take psykers. Does the bloodletter summoning fit World Eaters? That seems closer to Daemonkin than to World Eaters.

A potentially different yet fitting Legion tactic for World Eaters would be to give all characters and walkers Rampage.

Emperor's Children is good. Do Dreadnoughts have to pay the full 30 for blastmasters but predators get them for 20? What's the reasoning behind that?

1K Sons is good, Veterans of Prospero is Preferred Enemy, not Hatred? Might make sense since they're not a hot-headed legion. You should be able to take cultists, but not as compulsory troops: lone sorcerers with a few rubrics would benefit from getting the locals on their side. No Gift of Mutation either?

Death Guard is fine.

This is a start. I wouldn't necessarily say 'better' shooting but more of it. Rules or some method that rewards big fat mobs of boys. Waaagh giving extra shots is perfect. Give shoota boys something like 'wall of bullets' where if there are 10 or more in a mob they get shred, but only on shootas/big shootas
For fuck's sake give them some detachment rules. Instead of formations that let faggots min/max, make a Goffs detachment that buffs the shit out of Nobz etc. Speed Freeks lists were awesome. Then if Ork players want overlapping clans they need to take huge piles of Boyz, which is typical of a Waaagh; the Warboss doesn't cherry pick the Flash Gits out of the Bad Moons he just krumped, he takes ALL the lads!

>>46235312
he couldn't possibly have known that he was being targeted by 12 marker lights, boosting the taus BS to an unprecedented 15

>>46235329
Why they didnt get some detachment Klan rules is beyond me

>>46235282
marine shoots at him and the tau fucks off with his jump pack.

that way the tau woundnt look like weak idiots for letting the apothecary live, and the marines wouldnt be treated like an npc race.

>>46235321

>>46235374
>tau woundnt look like weak idiots for letting the apothecary live

Thus removing the entire point of the story, which was that Tau have a sense of honor due to their naive nature

>marines wouldnt be treated like an npc race

Because that one marine getting killed in a single shot by a plasma gun was so much more important than the other dozen the Apothecary was harvesting?

Every race is an NPC race outside of their codex.

>>46235424
Necrons have no bad HQs.

duh, if anyone ever beats a space marine 1v1 it's fanwank.

If a space marine ever beats xenos 1v1, it's kosher.

>>46235491
While there's no shortage and plenty of room for GRIMDARK in the GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE, I don't particularly see why in a universe full of billions of nameless battlefields that it's unreasonable for warriors to hold honor as a respectable tenet for both themselves and their opponents.

I don't think it's particularly farfetched for a warrior from one army that values ritual and code to respect another.

>>46235321

If you hate them more than Tau you're the problem, Taufag.

No it doesn't. At best, it makes them naive, because they don't understand what the Apothecary is doing.

Red Corsairs: is the outflank mandatory? What if you *wanted* the unit to come in from your own board edge? Also, space marine handheld shields do not usually give cover saves, instead they give invulns or re-rolled armor instead.

Re-roll all failed morale tests AND they get the other benefit of having VotLW? So they virtually have VotLW for free? You could remove the re-roll failed morale tests and they rules would still be just fine, you could give every unit Hit and Run like White Scars or something instead.

The Purge seems cool, once again you could simplify the +cover rule by just having it be Stealth, which is otherwise a rule that Chaos usually don't have.

The Cleaved: I'm pretty sure Plague Marines are NOT Slow & Purposeful, correct me if I'm wrong

Flawless Host is cool.

Company of Misery is interesting, but everything basically comes down to a single roll determining whether things get spoopy or not.

The Scourged is pretty powerful for an tzeentch army that doesn't want to take derpy rubrics. Or it can take rubrics, they as well as obliterators and warp talons all get a 3++.

>Dorn guy is pulling organs out of dead guys in the middle of a battle

Tau are so stoopid guys. bunch o fukin nubs who talks during a battle wat fags WAT YOU MEAN A RIPTIDE OUTSHOOTS A MARINE THATG SO GAY TAU JUST MASTERBATES ALL OVER 40K
SO GAY U MAKE MY BUTT HURT
Y U BUKKAKE ON 40K, TAU?

It was a shoulder mounted fusion blaster so he didn't need to point his entire body and wouldn't even need to really move, and it probably would mostly disintegrate a space marine.

How big are XV8s compared to Terminators?

>>46235694

The part didn't even need to be put in the passage at all. He already had the apothecary locked down. Learn to comprehension and reasoning, retard.

>>46235368

That would require some actual care and effort beyond "lol slap 5 units together and call it a day."

which army is the most overpowered?

>>46235593
>>46235673
Wasnt there a story where some american soldiers and some aghan ones were having a shootout and they both stopped and stared at a goat. I wish i could remember what the goat was doing though

>>46235719

The XV8 takes up the entire base and often hangs feet over the edge.

Terminators have shit tons of base room even with the widest leg poses.

And this is just going by the miniature scales.

>>46235727
And Space Marines didn't need a spiritual liege but they got one anyway.

>>46235719
They're in between them and Dreadnoughts, probably around centurion size.

Maybe not quite 'towering', but that could be explained as the writer being flowery.

If it was a Riptide, they would have compared it to a building, not a Terminator, and that scene gets even dumber.

>>46235727
Yeah they should have just skipped writing anything at all. They should have known that writing about Tau in any way that doesn't end with Tau corpses is just dumb.

Seems legit to me. If I were a fluff marine it's a logical move to make.

>>46235746
>>46235757
Fair enough. I guess it was an XV8.

>>46235673
yeah sure, between the same race like during ww1 between the germans and french/british, and in ww2 between the americans and germans.

how many times did US marines and the japanese stop to chat in a warzone? none.

go try talking to isis in the middle of a warzone and see how that works out.

>>46235750
>two wrongs make a right

Nice argument.

I especially like how you bitch about spiritual liege fluff but don't allow people to bitch about retarded Tau wank fluff.

That makes zero sense, nice lack of hypocrisy there genius.

>>46235282

What, fluff-wise? The Battle-Brother dodges the searing plasma blast, letting loose another barrage of bolter shells. His first volley had smashed aside several armour plates on the xeno battlesuit, so he aimed for the same section again, allowing his shells to penetrate deep. Alarms start blaring inside the suit, and the Tau triggers both engines, only for the internal fuel systems, which have been ruptured, to partially fail. The apothacary, noticing the xeno's distraction, takes the opportunity to drive his bolt pistol into the ruptured armour and empty his entire clip. The battlesuit's internal armour fails catastrophically, and the suit, still struggling to execute the order to disengage, pushes more fuel into the ruptured jetpack system, which ignites. The tau inside dies in a searing fireball that spreads through the battlesuit in an instant.

There's no argument to be had in the first place. You seem to have trouble imagining the suit engaging a target behind and in front but obviously missed the part about the shoulder mounted weapon, then started back tracking just saying "well it didn't need to be written in the first place"

You want an actual argument from me? Give me something to actually counter first. No it didn't need to be written, the whole codex didn't need to be written, NONE of the codexes needed to be written, how does this change anything?

No, you just have shit comprehension. Nobody has "trouble imagining it" they're saying it's edgy as fuck. It was an attempt to look cool with the shoulder turret but juts comes off as corny and cringey, just like the "Odd." "A theory." retarded lines. No different than

In a universe where billions of psykers are sacrificed on a daily basis to light a space beacon, I don't particularly find a swivel mounted plasma cannon to be outrageously implausible.
