Third for better legion

Without a transport, do Breachers have a use outside of ZM?

>>46312473
Best AT is probably melta jetbikes, but if your whole anti-tank plan is to charge things anything fast with meltabombs could work well enough, regular bikes for example. Plus every dude in a regular bike squad can take twin-linked meltaguns IIRC.

>>46312587
Slow moving shield wall of doom looks awesome, so yes.

How do I decide what to do for my 2 remaining Fast Attack slots /tg/?

I'm playing raven guard, and my Force Org is full, sans 2 FA slots.

I have a general lack of Anti Tank, and I have too fucking many Tactical Marines, so I'm getting 2 airplanes.

Which are better-
- Lightnings with 4 Kraken Missiles
- Xiphon Interceptors

Both cost around 210, and do pretty much the same thing, anti-tank. The Xiphon continually pumps out shots, whereas the Lightning is a 1-trick pony, but that one trick of 'show up and dump 3 missiles and a TL las with Tank Hunter and Strafing Run' is devastating.

Suggestions?

>>46312695
Lightning is the ultimate anti AV.

Thoughts on mechanized Death Guard running the new Armoured Breakthrough Rite? What about QK allies? Are there any known Knight Houses that worked with Death Guard in general or is that too far-fetched? I should be able to get them painted decently (pic related) but I just like tanks a lot more than infantry in terms of playing with my little resin dudes.

>this is what magnus apologists believe

>>46312774
He did let them. That's not debatable. Whether or not they still would've had a chance is though.

was magnus the worst primarch?

i mean he did the least during the crusade, he was such a failure that the emperor hated him, he tried to warn the emperor but instead got his dudes massacred by yiffs (who are known for being failures)... did anybody fuck up harder than magnus?

That's the bit I'm disputing. Even if they resisted I don't see how they stop an entire legion, especially since at a certian point Russ is just gonna go exterminatus on their ass

>>46312867

Nah that was Lorgar

No he didn't

>>46312877
yeah but at least lorgar did something

>>46312944
Except during the crusade he literally wasn't doing anything which is why Big E showed up with the smurfs and told him to stop building churches and get back to work

>>46312632
Do you remember the zerg mission in brood war where you kill fenix and duke? It was like that where the defenses were down for 5 minutes.

>>46312732
No. I already built a Fire Raptor, that's enough Storm Raven chassis for me.

>>46312730
While the lighting is great at killing 1 thing, if I was to face Rhino Rush or Orbital assault, I could only really pop 1-2 rhinos per lighting.

Javelins with max missiles.

>>46312993
yeah but lorgar had the last laugh since the imperium basically just turned into 1 big ass church after emps got brained.

>Chapter founder's personal heraldry
I can't think of anything better so that purple dragon is staying.

What Legion works best with footslogger blobs and a lack of transports? How about giant robots and artillery?

Not including Mechanicum, of course.

>>46313062
My decision is pretty much strictly between Xiphons and Lightnings. Land Speeders are also too frail, and cannot threaten Spartans.

>>46312597
Okay, that makes sense. thanks very much

>>46313092
wrong thread?

>>46312923
don't think they'd have won, simply because of legion numbers.

But the wolves would have been fucked sideways if the orbital and planetary defenses had been active and they'd have to fight those.

Meanwhile on the ground the sons were handily tearing them up once they decided to fight back.

Still would have lost because of the sisters though. But probably Russ and Magnus would have self-destructed right there with nothing much left of both legions.

Anyone know a 3rd party manufacturer who produces something I could use as/convert into a volkite carronade? I was hoping B+S industries had one along with their other stuff but alas not

>>46313065
After Lorgar stopped worshiping him. Lorgar is such a loser his religion can only take off after he denounces it.

>>46313335
Do you think Lorgar is a bitter hipster who sits in the EoT complaining about how he was into worshipping the Emperor before it was cool?

>>46313166
Just posting the heraldry of my chapter's founder. I had no other picture.

>>46313129
Sounds to me like you want IRON WARRIORS. With IRON WARRIORS you can slowly walk up the field while your IRON WARRIORS artillery blows the shit out of your enemy. The primarch of the IRON WARRIORS even comes with his own robot bodyguard. Play IRON WARRIORS!

Disclaimer:playingironwarriorsmayresultinhavingtoputupwithsillyjokes,nineoutoftenofwhicharen'tevenfunny

>>46313377
No, he's probably complaining that nobody likes his edgy new religion instead of the one that was uncool until he stopped following it.

Think of it like this something may be cool or uncool, lets give it an arbitrary rating, -10 means completely uncool nobody likes it even ironically, 10 is so cool even hipsters like it. Lorgar drags anything's rating down by 10 points simply because he is Lorgar, so even if the Imperial Faith is a solid 7 Lorgar is such a loser it is a -3 in actual coolness as long as he follows it.

>>46313377
He's embarrassed about the whole thing.

>>46313377
I think he's like a Muslim looking at Christians and Jews and alternatingly angry and pitying that they just don't get it yet.

Then he burns down a planet because Chaos is a religion of peace.

>>46313177
They still had the planetary defences, but the fleet had been dispersed and Magnus was blocking scrying... if they weren't used to being able to scry for any incoming enemies all the time they would have been better prepared, but most of the time their boss wasn't blocking scrying.
Still they still had their defences (albeit without the guidance they normally enjoyed), and the fleet was there, but not really in a position to do much, given that it was dispersed, not in orbit and much, much smaller than the invading fleet

No, he is perfecting daemon magics and summoning spells and as well as fighting in the Great Game of Chaos.

All this while he awaits for the rise of the true Warmaster. The awaited one of prophecy, Ezekyle Abaddon.

Lorgar was the first to kneel before him. He did it willingly. While others demanded a price for their allegiance, Lorgar gave out his secrets and lent his daemonic power to Abaddon for free.

Ps : Lorgar is not a daemon prince of Chaos Undivided. Be'lakor is the one and only prince of Undivided.

That wasn't him. Thaty was a burrowed body. Prior to the events of Albion, he didn't have a body to fully manifest.

Wrong. He was freed from the gem when the world exploded. He is currently in the Mortal Realms.

>In a few months his model won't even exist anymore.

False.

Be'lakor got rules and new in the recent Grand Alliance Chaos Battletome. He ain't going anywhere.

>Well yeah, he's a daemon primarch, not a daemon prince.

Daemon Primarchs are daemon princes, moron. All the sources says so.

I hear this a lot and this confirms that Primarchfags are braindead. Nowhere in the fluff does it distinguishes the daemon primarchs as a special tupe of daemons. They are constantly referred to as daemon princes.

And Be'lakor is their superior. All of them.

Making a 1500 pts IW list to start out, I currently have the following in mind:

Tactical Squad
10 guys, sarge with 2+ and meltabombs, rhino with havoc launcher

Tactical Squad
10 guys, sarge with 2+ and meltabombs, rhino with havoc launcher

Contemptor
Heavy Conversion Beamer, Power Fist

Vindicator
Butt naked pie plate

Vindicator
same thing

This brings me up to just shy of 900 points.

The Tacticals are mounted in Rhinos for mobility, I wouldn't mind bringing more bodies but I need something that can get around a little. With a little effort I can bring 40 Tacticals and 4 Rhinos in various configurations, but plain bolters can only go so far.

My realistic, on-hand options include up to 10 Tyrants or Iron Havocs with missiles, and various special weapons for support squads. The Contemptor is kind of a filler because I like HCBs and got the Calth one... it's also not another damn Heavy Support choice like everything else I want to bring.

I wanted to bring a Warsmith, but a nicely kitted Praetor is very points-heavy at 1500. If I bring either Tyrants or Havocs, what sort of HQ would be better to stick with them? From what I gather the new and improved Havocs don't really need anything to shine, the Centurion would just be filler. But is it worth kitting him out?

>>46313804
Alpha Legion because none of us know what they’re up to. I don’t think the authors do, either.

But more seriously… if you want to be surprised, make an army that depends on reserves. You never know what you’re going to get. imo, armies with a lot of bikes, jetbikes, and land speeders are also fun and win big/lose big. Or Word Bearers with massive but terrible militia cult support.

These are both old posts dating from a time when Daemon Princes of Chaos Undivided were a common thing in lore and Be'Lakor wasn't a thing outside of Fantasy.

Obviously they have been superseded by current fluff that paints a much different picture of the Primarchs.

This is why primarchfags are the worst. They don't know the lore of the guys they are wanking over. Good thing I do.

All of them are daemon princes and thus all of them are beneath Be'lakor aka Shadowlord aka Dark Master aka the Firstborn aka the one and only Daemon Prince of Undivided.

>Hide post.

>>46314651
Wrong. These excerpts from the 6th ED fluff series Index Chaotica which is the same edition Be'lakor was introduced. The culling of Undivided happened in late 5th ED and onwards.

Again, you show that you know nothing. Old and new sources agree that "Daemon Primarchs" are Daemon princes. Not in a single point in the setting was there any attempt to differentiate them or make them special. In fact, it's stated that while the Daemon Primarchs are powerful daemon princes, there exists more powerful and older daemon princes (Be'lakor and Doombreed).

The only guys who disagree are Primarchfags and we know that they are degenerates.

He was defeated by Russ.
He had magics dispelled and his warp sanctum invaded by an awakened Lorgar who had just defeated An'ggrath.
After his ascension he was broken by Khayon the Black. This might be the event that broke Magnus into many shards.

>>46315481
It might not be a strict "lowest company number meanz best" situation, barring the first company. A line company commander could start as XXX company commander and by good performance/ Primarch favor get a battle group command. More than likely Marines that show leadership potential early on are ear marked for advancement and go from squad command to working in a command squad, to centurion, to eventually praetor levels. If they don't choose to specialize and become a Consul or something.

Magnus went all out on Russ. He was still defeated.

If any of you are into military history, last week's Eye of Horus podcast (#52) was fantastic.

The fight with the Lion was not a combat duel, though. It was just both of them venting anger with the Lion being the one that didn't get how silly the situation actually was. Russ was about to stop the fight when the Lion sucker punched him because he thought Russ was making fun of him.

Horus isn't going to worry about the pie plates- he can tank on his invul and isn't getting instant death by them. Horus' body guard can get killed by a shit ton of bolters that just forces you to make saves. Like an IF FotL that just drowns you in dice...
You might want to think of like a three prong approach. Toss one squad in a spartan, scout one squad, and trade the last one in for something fast and punchy like reavers. Spartan goes balls to the walls first turn, scouted squad runs in their face, jump pack dudes fly foward... and Horus comes down turn two. That's a lot of shitty choices for target priority.
I would drop the Fire Raptor though. It's made for mulching infantry, but your already going to do that with CC anyway...

>>46316208
Russ got his ass kicked by Angron, this is in no dispute.

The fact that the Space Wolves beat the World Eaters does not change this.

>>46312617
>>46312632
Magnus shut down the defenses and dispersed his fleet, judging that his legion deserved death.

>>46316256
>>46316356
He was holding back during the night of the wolf, because he didn't have the Emperor's jurisdiction, Angron even mocks him for this

>>46316343
Another idea is drop the Sicarians for 2 Machine Spirit Vindicators. No one wants 12 inch moving shooting S 10 pie plates. But every shot they take to keep them the fuck away... the infantry/ Spartan moves closer....
If they survive to shoot great! But if they die your other stuff is unmolested. Another two units to fuck with their target priority

>>46313804
Maybe the 1st. Sure their rules are a bit sparse for now, but once they get support for all six wings and their special units/characters, I think you'll have a legion that can do anything.

>>46316591
Why exactly? All the other Legions got special rules and shit. We got hit better on equal WS with swords as our pro and you lose as our drawback. This Legion is obviously all about Heavy Bolters, +1 Strength Power Swords, and Rites of War.

>>46316554

Dark Angels aren't losing out on special rules or even units once their book comes out though, wouldn't having way more Rites be unbalanced?

>>46316390
> Getting into a fight without proper jurisdiction
> Losing resulting fight
> Runs away before legion gets killed

This is losing, entirely...

His legion was getting itself killed so Russ could pull his "I can totally kill you" stunt, only to not back it up and then have to run before the wolves got surrounded and butchered. At BEST he was sacrificing his legion for a petty dick waving contest that even then he couldn't put out for.

>>46316790
Hopefully the next one will be better.

>>46316831
He lost the resulting fight exactly because he didn't have jurisdiction; if he lets loose and starts killing World Eaters the emperor is going to be mad.
Instead he decided to make a lesson out of it, but the lobotomized retard didn't get it

Which Primarch has the most annoying fanboys?
Angron or Alpharius I think

>>46316356
>Space Wolves beat the World Eaters
>Retreating is somehow winning

No they didnt, the wolves were performing a formation to isolate Angron that involved forming a circle around him and were trying to hold the line whine the WE carved into them to get to their primarch, Russ had to call the retreat as he couldn't kill Angron before they were going to be surrounded and fucked, none of that is the Wolves "beating" the Eaters.

>>46316933
Angron, Magnus, Alpharius (though I think most of them are just memeing)

>>46316933
girlyman, sangy

>>46316870
It wasn't the lesson, that was his tactic, kill Angron.

The fight was an accident that neither side properly intended to happen. He got to Angron, but the cost of actually going through with it would have been being surrounded and ultimately defeated. The writer tries to call that a win but no, the wolves, at best would have killed Angron and been crushed by the WEs surrounding them.

>>46316933
Russ, rowbutt, Lion, or Dorn probably.

>>46316933
Angron, Magnus, Russ, Lion

>>46316974
As an Alphafag, yeah its mostly memes by this point.

>>46317046
YOU are gonna talk about annoying primach fanboys...

Really?

>>46317045
>at best would have killed Angron and been crushed by the WEs surrounding them.
And they'd have died with a huge toll on WE numbers, and had they been sanctioned like they were with Magnus they'd have achieved a Pyrrhic victory

>>46316974
curze :^)

>>46316756
Not necessarily, especially if you can't take multiple at once. If they'd end up unbalanced it's only because it's hard to think of six balanced ones.

But it sounds like grasping at straws at trying to find something unique about the Dark Angels. So far they've been pretty dull… if you include Blackshields, they’re basically the fourth black-painted space marine faction. Oooh, but these have checkers! It’s bad luck that they were left for near-last, I guess. But Iron Hands already have good heavy infantry and the Raven Guard have the fast stuff covered.

if anything it wouldve been an improvement over angrons retard shit.

yiffs probably wouldnt have been able to kill him anyway, though.

>>46317203
read book six. they were basically just cranking out marines like a factory.

Is Horus worth the points?

I know he's a strong, maybe strongest beatstick Primarch, but to me he costs too much. Like, he'll have to have reliable means to get to melee, and he'll need meat-shields (in forms of terminators and perhaps Primus Medicae). And then he'll have to wait until turn 2 to be effective if he survives turn 1 from rain of fire.

I'm also not sure how effective his special rules are either.

Pointwise, I think it might be more effective to use Super Heavy LoW or something than Horus+Retinue+(transport?). What do you guys think?

>>46317259
That wasn't the nails though
it was a bunch hypno-indoctrination and experimental chem procedures.

Also that was a specific thing they'd only worked out recently, after the heresy started, and only on that one planet, which was destroyed.

>>46317331
>it was a bunch hypno-indoctrination and experimental chem procedures.
and nails, thats why the special characters rules are tired to using the nails.

>>46317136
its more the irony of you talking about annoying primach fanboys when you're the most visible and obvious example of one.

and one of the worst.

>>46317285
yeah horus is insane. best beatstick, best duelist, best legion bonuses, no scatter deep strike, massive orbital bombardment, whole army can outflank, etc.

>>46317160
The other remaining legions are easy enough – Blood Angels can be loyalist World Eaters with lots of jump packs, White Scars will be bike-heavy (surprisingly not done by anyone else yet), Thousand Sons will be psykers, Space Wolves… well, I don’t know how their rules will stand out (madmen, I guess, with anti-SM bonuses), but their aesthetics and fluff are unique enough.

Dark Angels are just standard. Maybe they’re THE standard, but that just means boring since they weren’t released first. No hint of Native American aesthetics coming back, just checks (Goff Space Marines??), swords, and wings (somehow different from Raven Guard wings). Do the wings mean that you can ignore force org charts and make a whole army out of one kind of unit? That’s not terribly interesting, either.

I wonder when the loyalist DA will turn green. When they return to Caliban, right? So… HH book 15 in 2020?

>>46317355
but thats about supercharging the nails on any WE.

Thats different to the mass-producing of legionaries they were also doing.

>>46317448
yeah im sure literally drilling shit into the guys heads had nothing to do with speeding up the process..

>>46317441
I think the green only came about during the 2nd founding when they split up.
I wouldn't be surprised if FW shows an alternate colour scheme that uses green though.

>>46317479
glad we agree ;)

As the Heresy goes on do you think Banestrike shells will start showing up on other traitor legions and loyalists?
I could see the Wolves being given access to/already having them.

>>46317546
Isn't Banestrike a trap option? It's an overrated rending-wannabe, isn't it?

>>46317441
>No hint of Native American aesthetics coming back,
To be fair they didn't start recruiting from Plainsworld until after the destruction of Caliban during The Scouring, so there is no Native American aesthetic to come back to yet.

>>46317546
Not likely. Alpha Legion made them, and they and the Sons of Horus already have them.

I think we might see more units for those legions with access to them, and probably more Bolt Pistols with Banestrike like Tybalt Morr has.

>>46317657
Depends. Terminators/Seekers good. Veterans/Characters not so much.

I wish Angron was better at killing Primarchs, in one of the novels he was the only one aside from Horus that would have been able to beat Sang but here he is with a 3+ armour save, 4++ and 6+ FNP. At least give him the decency of 2+ and 4+ fnp, even if it increases his points cost

>>46317974
I was just thinking that as the war goes on, other legions would also get hold of them.

its pretty hard to stop people copying your tech in war.

>>46317974

Fluff is basically the Force Commander was discovered by the Sons of Horus alone on a planet filled with his creations, presumably the original population until he started fucking with their genetics and using them as raw materials for flesh golems. When he was discovered the Horus Heresy was about to start soon and the SoH decided that he would make a useful ally so they let him keep his little planet of monstrosities uninterrupted. When the Heresy came he supported Horus because he probably already had some Chaotic taint and Horus offered him more planets on which to ply his craft.

The discipline masters represent his successful creations, practically a match for astartes but inherently loyal towards their creator they help heard his forces in battle and assist him in his lab. The levies represent his failed creations, too slow, stupid, weak, or disloyal to be used as leaders and lab assistants they are used as the backbone of his workers and warriors. The ogryn represent flesh golems made up of the leftover parts of those who died during the process of modifying them. The scout sentinels represent flesh golems that have been heavily augmented with lascannons and combat blades directly grafted onto their arms.

>>46319320
>175 models
You have movement trays right

>>46319320
Unfortunately, cultist models tend to require a lot more painting effort than astartes.

>>46318614
Not for a lot of missions, unless you're using drop pods or some rite of war that lets you infiltrate (not sure if that's an option for SoH). Just too slow, you'll get chewed up by certain armies.

On the other hand, there are a lot of all-foot armies ever since Betrayal at Calth has been out. But in tournaments they often suffer.

>>46319559
I know, I already run Chaos IG. will probably do a ton of converting for the Ogryn and sentinels.

>>46319576
if he takes horus he can outflank everything and reroll reserves

probably still need a few pods though

>>46319279
>>46318020
Angron can beat most on the charge. And him having a 3+ doesnt matter in primarch v primarch fights because all Primarchs are AP2 by default.

WE also have a great terminator "bodyguard" in the Red Butchers for him so his 3+ matters even less when hes leading a bunch of 2+/4++ W2 meatheads into combat.

Could he be better served with a 2+? Yeah probably, but I really dont think its ground for the amount of griping I see about it

Gonna get a big return on my taxes tomorrow, so going to order some extra goodies to finish me EC army for now.

>>46319885
Try Horus and 12 Justaerin with Combi-plasma.

>>46319978
yeah theyd rape the butchers

firedrakes beat them easily

pretty much any 2w terminator beats them, cataphractii with fists are probably a stronger pick for WE on deathstar vs deathstar 2bh

>>46319941
People dislike them because they aren't as survivable and are liable to kill a few of themselves.
However I've had them do a lot of work in out-shooting tacticals, pinching a few wounds of off side-armor, and pinning blobs for sweeping.
The side benefit of being the most annoying blob in melee is nice as well.
I'd say keep 'em.

Can someone who has one be a bro and post rough measurements for the fellblade or glaive turrets please?

>>46320046
Yea I plan to take Cataphactii with power fists just for other legion terminators and also to balance the fact that Red Butchers don't score. As soon as I get everything, anyway.

>>46319576
>>46319603
That was pretty much my concern. Unless you go full drop assault, the bulk of your army could very well be out of range for a turn and only a couple drop pods dreads to attempt to draw fire could be very disastrous

>>46320564
What do you find odd about it?

>>46319946
Aiming for TS, so it's Crusade Army (generric)

>>46320683

It's basically the same org as the Sons of Horus, who basically had companies and nothing else.

>>46320786
Something I found weird about SoH was that they had "First Captain" Abaddon and separate "Captain of the First Company." IIRC Cathulan Reavers had their own Captain too. 3 Captains for 1 Company?

>>46315436
Chain axes ain't free yo

>>46320887
I think they are more of sub-commanders within the company. Loken is stated to outrank Falkus and Kalus who are "captains" of elite named squads (Widowmakers and Catulan) but not an actual company.

>>46320887

Yes, each of the first company's two special formations had a captain, with Abaddon above both of them as overall first captain.

All right, brothers. I need some advice on where to start getting into Warhammer 40,000. So far, the only things I have related to it is the Horus Heresy novel and the Dawn of War franchise. Where else should I start? Should I start getting the Codexes and if so, which ones?

Also, I want to learn more about Death Korps of Krieg. Anything on them?

>>46315591

Yeah but there are three of Alpharius

>>46320887
SoH were all gangers, wouldnt surprise me if some companies also had their own sub-groups which at the end of the day would work similarly to the chapters of other legions.

>>46320996

The Catulans and the Justaerin are not single squads, more like a companies worth each.

>>46320732
So, no good way to kill Spartan+Deathstar only with Legion-less generic Crusade Army then?

>>46321104
You want the 40k general. This for the subgame 30k, which is very different.

well without a primarch you wont be able to fight it head on, and even with some primarchs that wont work cause theyd just get rekt.

so youd need to figure out something to crack it open and then smash it with typhons

>>46321104
wrong thread, but seriously do not start with forgeworld. Beginners universally suck at painting minis, and all that will happen is you will fuck up all that nice forgeworld resin you paid the big $$$s for. Which, if you were wondering, is the same reason why you shouldn't start with 30k. Ebay the mini-rulebook for 7th edition (or pick up one of the starter sets with it), then you can use battlescribe to build lists and see rules without having your codex. Start something easy to play and paint like SM or Necrons.

And post in the right general.

>>46321202
Can D Weapons insta-crack vehicles in 7th ed?

>>46321131
I know that much, i was just saying that the sub captains in the 1st company headed their own named squads, or at least Falkus does in the form of the Widowmakers Justaerin squad. But are the Reavers in the 1st company all Catulan or is that just the single squad's name as well?

>>46321173
It's a lot more civilized than this normally. It's just a few die hard /v/ermin are trying their absolute hardest to ruin the 30k General and make it a disgrace like the 40k General with their memes. Oh and this one horrible guy and the people who don't know any better about dealing with him. Don't reply to him or acknowledg him.

>>46321229
pretty sure they can if you roll a 6.

basically any big ap2 pieplate will rape the deathstar, if you can get it out of the spartan

>>46319885

Saboteur with the choose result of one die relic

>>46321238
The Catulan were called the most famous so it seems that they were their own squad.

>>46321138

The secret for stopping cataphractii units is that they're essentially angry "don't come within X inches" bubbles once you kill or immobilize their Spartan. Spartans are tough but they aren't invincible. A primarch Spartan termies Death Star will be half to a third of most armies and will give you room to attack the rest of their army or go for objectives (that Horus/ Angron isn't sitting on)

>>46321169

Tbh draego was an eternal warrior praetor who hit at STR 10 AP 2 and had a 3++ and he only won after Mortarion had gotten finished murdering the previous grand master. he also had to use Mortarions true daemon name which is game over even for greater daemons

I'm not saying he didn't job for the Grey Knights, I'm just saying it wasn't as big of a stomp as people think

Come to think of it, Angron was also defeated by mortals, iirc he killed one hundred grey knight terminators before the exorcism (?) finally took him out.

ANGRON THE ANGRY
PERTURABO THE PERTURBED
MORTARION THE MORTIFIED

Russ the Rustled

>>46322585

Malcador and the Emperor specifically made the Grey Knights to fight chaos after they had already encountered the Daemon Primarchs. If the GKs couldn't take them out, nobody else would stand much of a chance.

Also Magnus was taken out on Fenris by plain Space Wolves. GG.

Can this thread have a little sanctity left please?

>>46322505

Perturabo cucked himself. First he was found super late so his legion got cucked by everyone else until they were worn down by attrition. Then genius Percucko over here sees that his legion is a bunch of pathetic cucks so he's all like "That's it, draw lots, faggots, and one tenth of you fuckers are getting cucked".

>>46322991
>"That's it, draw lots, faggots, and one tenth of you fuckers are getting cucked".
And that was the right thing to do. Punish them for being the worst legion.

so best ways to get the most out of Alpharius on the TT?

Easy way to sneak a counter attack cognis signum nuncio vox into someone's dick hole? Easy praetor assassin? 5 STR 6 armorbane attacks can put a dent in something

>>46323181
You write down multiple notes of paper for him to hide into every squad, write down one in front of the opponent, Then have him pop out into the first squad he can reliably wipe in an assault phase. It's good practice to put him on the opposite side of the board from the opponent's primarch so that he can continue to wipe squads before the other primarch sneezes at him.

>>46322962

Sanctity is for the weak.

Also the Emperor doesn't believe in sanctity.

>>46323213

Does counter attack and crusader transfer to his unit?

>>46323281
no, yes

>>46323310

Huh.

Starting to think the best boys for Alpharius might be Templar brethren with Counter Attack, although Alpharius hiding in an infiltrating melee blob might be neat.

>>46323359
Keep in mine with the infiltrating melee blob you can't assault turn 1.

I'd put him into a jetbike squad to be honest. They get where they need to when they need to. Put three such sqauds into the list so the opponent doesn't catch on too easily.

>>46323359
Alpharius isn't as fat as other Primarch so you can fit him and 11 Justaerin inside a Spartan. And a Primus Medicae too.

>>46323411

Nice


Also I'm not crazy but Alpharius just gets to roll the old fashion way for his warlord trait right?

>>46323450
Primarchs dont get warlord traits unless it says so in their rules, like Fulgrim.

>>46323213
>>46323389
Another thing you could do is to put two to three items around each sergeant's person to identify in the note you write down. When asked for the note you can show that the note says "the sergeant with the A symbol" then show him the sergeant with the A symbol on his left leg, also note that the other sergeants have B and C on their left legs. The opponent has high chances of not seeing the A on the second sergeant's right pauldron or the A on the third sergeant's backpack.

Bonus points for incorporating the symbols/items into each sergeant's hydra design.

>>46316373
>I lost on purpose

Oh okay, good to know. I only recently got my kabuki Alpharius so I've never had to think of this before

>>46323655
Are you going to run both of them in a double CAD with two primarchs?

>>46323752

Hell could technically do it with Primarchs chosen as they'd be HQs. But no, I'm assuming Omegon will get his own rules at some point since I'm sure they want to milk the Alpha Legion civil war at some point.

>>46323752

Would two Alpharius really be worth it? Maybe if they had a rule where they could both fight in a challenge at the same time.

>>46323792
No, their rules army buffing rules don't stack and it would be a major waste of points. If the local Alpha Legion player really wants to waste so many points on this gimmick, let him.

>>46323818

Yeah but there's plenty of redundancy and the two together would make the deathstar to end all death stars. Its great because even if one denies a challenge, the other can still attack.

All for a measly 830 points, kek.

Rulewise, would it be possible to infiltrate Tac 18" from the target -> scout them 6" -> turn 1 begins -> skip move phase -> initiate rapid fire Fury of the Legion on the target squad?

>Khayon the Black defeated Magnus and forced him to kneel before Abaddon inside his own daemon world.
According to Khayon the Black, sole source of this tale.

how do you pronounce "Justaerin"?
is it like they are just tearin'
or rather justeerin, like in "Daemon"?

>>46324152
Without Angron, there would be nothing holding together the World Eaters.

The only one capable of uniting them is Kharn and he is a maddog not interested in leadership. It's the same issue with the Night Lords. Their primarch died and they fell apart. Their only hope for unity, Sevetar. was nowhere to be seen.

>>46324171
Yes.

>>46324223
just air in
Alternately,

>>46318020
He is good enough, granted you really shouldnt be using primarchs to fight primarchs but Angron is fine.

If you build his attack stacks with the nails then him charging almost guarantees his victory against most of them.

I've downed Vulkan, Corax, Gulliman, Horus, and Fulgrim and lost against Vulkan, Manus and Horus.

Never fight Horus unless you have full stacks and some bodyguard unit, crash in and swing with Angron to weaken him and then have your bodyguards beat him to death. Its not easy.

He has the weight of attacks and fleshbane with ap 2 so you really dont give a shit.

But he should be mostly killing Titans, not killing primarchs.

>>46324214
He has no reason to lie and said his tale is the truth.

Also Ahriman's fear of Khayon when he arrived with the Black Legion during the invasion of the Planet of Sorcerers implies it is the truth. What kind of man would cause Ahriman to pause? Iskandor Khayon!

>>46322657
This^

That was back when there were only 1000 Grey Knights and a company of them showing up was literally unheard of. Back when that story was printed in the White Dwarf it was actually a really big thing, now we have thousands of the buggers and guys soloing primarchs and full Grey Knight Chapter engagement, watering down the significance.

They didnt even have grandmasters for each company, they were led by BrotherCaptains. It was a better time.

>>46324226
>Kharn was already leading
> Dreadnaughts from the Warhound days like their old legion commander
>Any other high ranking officer
> Horus AS Warmaster

This is way before Skalathrax, before which the legion DID keep itself together, even during the wars in the Eye of Terror after the heresy.The Nails made them more aggressive in the thick of combat, not flat out impossible to lead.

>>46324375
>before which the legion DID keep itself together, even during the wars in the Eye of Terror after the heresy

The Kharn novella shows a whole different story.

The World Eaters fragmented. The whole book was about awakening Kharn as he was the only one capable of uniting the legion and rescuing them from the clutches of Khorne.

Skalathrax was suppose to be the new legion homeworld where the World Eaters will be reborn anew.

Instead....

>>46324223
I pronounce it as "Just-aye-rynn"

>>46324317
You've got it slightly backwards. Back then there were more than 1k GKs. There being one thousand of them thing came in with spiritual liege's shit book

What would be the best all-around choice among the LoW Tanks?

> FML that Legions cannot use cheaper plastic Baneblade variants

>>46324749
Typhon is the most beloved for being able to kill anything. Fellblade if you want the banebladeesque generalist

>>46324749
Typhon, it fucks everything in the game quite well, doesnt cost an arm and a leg points wise as well.

>>46324407
But thats after the heresy, this was way before the heresy even started, the legion would be able to live on easily. All that would have happened is that they would probably cease the usage of the nails and become more like their old Warhounds days.

>>46324749
I thought one of the earlier books let you take any IA units with marines

>>46324749
You can still take a Hellhammer, right?

>>46322478
Whats the best way to equip a Seige Breaker?

Fuck i wish Alpharius had poisoned attacks. Wounding Horus on a 4+ (before he starts scratching you with his kitty claw) is the worst.

>>46325230
having a special weapon never hurts. The type depends on where and whatever you are going to fight.
If you take a flamer and melta bombs you are equipped against light infantry and vehicles. If you will fight against terminators, you should replace the flamer and if there is chance for duels then upgrade the Sgt with whatever close combat weapon you see fit (take either a fast one with less damage or a slow, crunchy one).

>>46325320
