The Panolopy of the Raven Lord is the TMNT weapons edition.
Someone needs to do a 30K mod for mount and blade sub-edition.

LAST TIME ON /HHG/ We discussed the latest thing GW shat the game up with, headless Fulgrim, of mastodons and tartarus termies, militia and cults are 30 jelly anvils, IW players were sad, the Kyme-Trope law was invoked, Marine sniper rifles DON'T shoot a laser to create a hole for a poisonous crystal to enter, armour marks and a related variant of a beloved copypasta was posted and Morty has a subconscious inhibitor which means he can't see walls.

>Marine sniper rifles DON'T shoot a laser to create a hole for a poisonous crystal to enter,

Hate to break it to ya, but those are Astartes Pattern Sniper Rifles. They're needle rifles.
>>

Yeah, in second edition. Do find me a recent source saying it's a needle rifle, because you won't fucking find it.

>inb4 more unsourced wiki shit
>>
>>47149609
That's what I'm thinking, Jump-packs are only really cost effective if you take 10, but at that point you're sinking a ridiculous amount of points that could get vindicator'd if you're unlucky.

"The thump of exploding fuel dumps, or the sudden hiss and crack of sniper rounds punching through skulls"
"Heads snap back and warriors crumble to the floor, neat holes drilled through their skulls by sniper fire"
--7E Spess Mehreen Codex
It doesn't even say whether they're shooting poison shards or not, so here's a proposition: YOUR DUDES are shooting whatever YOU want them to shoot.
I, for example, consider stupid the concept of a rifle shooting 2 consecutive ammo types (laser followed by Dark Eldar poison), given that the first one is affected by visibility and the other is affected by gravity. As such, my dudes shoot solid ammo guns. It works for me, it works for my opponent. It won't work for spergguys, but nothing ever works for them, so why bother?

Look, your dudes can shoot hot jizz for all I care. But the whole argument wasn't about headcanon, it was one faggot going "Marine snipers fire laser beams that drill holes for poison crystal darts, it's canon and in every modern SM codex", which is a blatant lie.

>which are needle rifles

Only source I've seen for them to be needle rifles is the FFG book. The FW book doesn't say anything about it being a needle weapon. What does the novel say? I can't find one to download and look for myself.

Also, I'm sure the latest SM codexes are newer sources, if we have to go with "it's all canon".

Teleport Homer - "Friendly units composed entirely of models in Terminator armour do not scatter when they Deep Strike, so long as the first model is placed within 6" of the teleport homer’s bearer. For this to work, the bearer of the teleport homer must have been on the battlefield at the start of the turn."

Master of the Atramentar - "Night Lords Legion Terminator squads and Terminator Command squads from the same detachment as Sevatar who Deep Strike will not scatter as long as they are placed within 6" of Sevatar as they deploy."

Does this mean that Terminators can deepstrike without scattering the same turn as Sevatar deep strikes?
>>
>>47151200
I don't see why it would be exclusive to when Sevatar deepstrikes. It seems to be a Teleport Homer that's exclusive to NL Termies from the same detachment.
>>
>>47151263
The regular teleport homer only allows the noscatter if the model with the homer was on the board at the beginning of the turn. Sevatar's is missing that rule so I was curious if Sevatar could drop in a drop pod and then have the terminators deepstrike safely within range on the same turn.
>>
>>47151351
What's the fluff for the leader of a terminator elite corps to not be wearing termie armour?
>>
>>47151351
Ah, that's an interesting question.
There isn't any statement of any restriction like that, so I'd say it's 100% aligned with RAW, and you should feel free to do it.

>>47151398
Not sure, but he's basically a "dueling captain", like Sigismund, so he's basically wearing regular armour "to do parkour", as someone described light armour last thread. It's still weird how he doesn't have artificer armour, though he does have precognition.

>>
>>47151398
He doesn't need it and the armor will probably reduce his fightan ability
>>
>>47152885
Dude, artificer armour is merely pimped out power armour, not bulky like termie armour. But saying "he just doesn't care" could be the reason
>>
>>47152957
I'd say pride, since he's a duellist and believes no fo could touch him, but that seems unlikely given the Night Lords' general cowardice.
>>
How is sevatar as a general? Like lore wise how skilled is he at being an actual captain as opposed to just duelling
>>
>>47153249
Think of NL leaders as mafia bosses.
>>
>>47153249
He's literally the perfeft type of person to be captin of the NL. If he hadn't died he would have been able to keep the legion together after Curze died. Then there's his fuck all dueling and killing ability with precognition.
>>
>>47153347
It was said he would have still had problems keeping the legion together.
>>
>>47153558
Curze had problems keeping them together. The elites and first company were utterly loyal to him and after their escape from the dangles ambush he simply offed several captins that turn tail and ran. He might have to kill a few fuckers but he would have kept it together as much as the primarch after the scouring.
>>

There was going to be a lot of skull cracking.
>>
>>47155143
Just so long as the skulls don't have a 2+Sv he should be fine.
>>
>>47151398
Not a fucking clue, Seeing as every sergeant in the legion can get Artificer armour for a mere 10 space bucks yet why NONE of the named captains (read: NONE) wear artificer armour is beyond me. The only reason I could come up with is maybe their legion lacks the resources for it but then I remember, Oh Yeah, their planet is KNOWN for adamantium output so there's no reason what-so-ever, Forgeworld just thought a 2+ re-rollable armour save was far too good for the highest ranking captain in the legion.
>>
How big is Kharn's base? I want to be able to slot him in the display base sometime, and the game base fits perfectly on 25mm, but that seems a bit small given the usual 32. I got mine from a recaster, so no bases provided.

Actually with rending and instant death he's a really good duelist even against 2+ saves. He really only fails when he meets someone who can beat his initiative 7 or so much as mentions eternal warrior in their rules. But assuming you don't get precognition off and his squad doesn't outnumber the enemy he instantly turns into a mediocre praetor with instant death.

When he didn't like the way the Kyroptera were operating, he had them all killed and replaced within one hour. Immediately after he formed the new group he planned to send them every which way to disrupt the Loyalists where they could. Then the Night Haunter wakes up and tells everyone to rush headlong into The Lion not the DAngles legion, not the flagship, The Lion Luckily only Sevatar and the Altramentar heard the order and teleported with him into the halls of The Lion's flagship.
>>
>>47155917
If the rest of the legion came along they might have won.

>>47153249
To add to the other posts, in the 'present', several members of the NL muse that if Sevatar hadn't died, then the legion might still have it's shit together.

Looking to expand my IW to do Ironfire, I noticed it only affects barrage weapons. If I am correct, that includes Quad Mortars, Whirlwind + Scorpius, Medusa and Basilisk tanks. Are there any other options for barrage weapons I've missed, any supers or anything? Would a Minotaur be legit?

The Scorpius with rocket barrage looks nice on paper. I currently only have the quad mortars because IW have no other elite choices anyway.
>>
>>47156174
No minotaurs for legions

The Minotaur taken as a Legiones Astartes Lord of War. There's a provision to take a vehicle from any of the IA books. But it'll be from the IA book, not the one the Reductor has access to, which by the way, they take it as a Heavy support choice, not as a LoW

And the Sigismund model is meh anyways.

>>
>>47160802
>They prefer being sneaky

I keep hearing this but I can't believe it's true every time I hear it.

The Raven Guard like to sneak around, the Alpha legion like to sneak around, both these legions modify their suits to run quieter. The Night Lords hook up amps to their vox and modify their jump packs to scream when they fly. Don't get me wrong, it seems like they sneak around sometimes, but they want their prey to be well aware that the Night Lords are here, and they have come for you!
>>
>>47160297
This is the best way to do it and much more cost effective dollaroos wise as well.
>>
>>47160851
There you go, they have artificer vox amps instead of protection.
>>
>>47160851
You don't need protection when the other guy is scared shitless of you?
>>
>>47160827
I personally think the most important thing is that we aren't playing 40k armies. I'll spend my money on the cool forgeworld things like templar brethren upgrades and sexy tanks haha.
>>
>>47160883
>>47160890
None of this changes the facts I stated here >>47155209
The night lords seem like THE legion to have lots of Adamantium to use on artificer armour.

My only guess is that they put all that Adamantium into Altramentar Terminator suits instead.
>>
>>47160795
I'd be fine with it, the EC is a good fit for Siggi, since he founded the BT after all. It's like an ingame easter egg.
>>
>>47160795

Both this model and the 30k Emperor's Champion both look better than the actual Sigismund model.

I'm pretty sure more people use the 30k EC model as Sigismund than the actual Sigismund model.

They have materials but their legion doesn't seem like one that would encourage customization of armor or encourage it.

Weapons, sure. Everyone would have their own weapon that they gave a damn about but armor doesn't kill anyone, why bother with finely crafted versions when your going to add on flayed skins anyway.

FWIW, I have the 5th edition codex and it doesn't clarify what they shoot, only that they're strength X. I think the first HH book was written when that codex was current, and it tells you to refer to 40k rules for a bunch of weapon profiles, including sniper rifles.

imo, that means older fluff still applies and they're needle rifles. Not that I mind if someone prefers to imagine solid shot.

Unless your army has some issue making mobile power weapons hard to come by you probably shouldn't bother. EC, NL, and RG all at least have jump pack power weapons off the top of my head, World Eaters might benefit if you fielded a full squad with 4 power weapons plus one for the sergeant though.

I was mostly kidding, it's honestly too monotonous anyway in scope.

Plus I was at the weekender and Alan Bligh specifically spoke about TS tactics using battle-automata and how they are perceived by the legion. That was way too specific to NOT have the cataphractii robots in, or whatever they end up being renamed.

Well that on the Sons working directly with their forge world to develop psychic crystals that bypass the need for cortex controllers.
>>
>>47166256
Color me interested.
>>
Suppose I run a SoH army with the Long March RoW. When my LA (SoH) units arrive from the reserve using Outflank, can they claim bonus from the Relentless March effect immediately on the turn they arrive? Also, when the ratio of said units' locations are exactly 50:50 (like 2 units on my zone and other 2 units on the opponent's zone) how does the majority determined?
>>
>>47166364
It's not on a unit basis what bonus you get, it's referring to models in the unit. So as long as the majority of the unit is in one section of the board you're good.
>>
>>47166327
To recap what I remember: TS ranks are extremely thin compared to other legions, so the use of cybernetica battle-automata is prevalent. From how it was described it sounded like the automata could take on various functions (which is how the cataphract is described in the fluff - an all-rounder) but mainly they are sacrificial. Legionary lives are too precious, so the robots are used to shore up that weakness.

Psy-sensitive crystals, like the ones inserted in vertex cannis, are used to control these robots and they entirely bypass cortex controllers. The Sons work closely with the Arkhadine forge world to develop this technology. mars gets wind of this and brands it tech heresy, so when the Wolves are sent to Prospero the Martian mechanicum sends out multiple titan legions to tag along and eradicate Arkhadine's work.

Seeing how Alan made the bots sound like a vital part of Thousand Sons tactics and they actively develop such technology with their pet forge world, I'd be surprised if they were not a unique unit for them.
>>
>>47166655

>>

Alan was pretty mum about them.

Just that:
- We see the wolves in their modern (by Prospero heresy time) form, not their original, more subdued legion
- This means they are locked out of certain units but have their own fluffy equivalents
- He pointed to HQ as a spot where this should be obvious

That's about it for them.

>>47167563

Why? I mean, the things that grey hunters have in common with legion tacticals are no combat squads, optional extra CCWs, and no heavy weapons. Destroyers have dual pistols, rad, and phosphex. What does any of that have to do with grey hunters?

Wolves in 40k really reak of reflavoured basic units with some wolves thrown in to justify them being a different codex. The 30k wolves being mostly standard except for executioner units, lone wolves, and RoW would actually seem cool.
>>
Say, if I buy a Land Raider Battle squadron (thus, not as DTs), can units begin embarked inside them?

Well, in terms of chapter organization they are different. More different than Blood "among the first to adopt and uphold the codex" Angels and Dark "lets follow the codex so that nobody looks at us funny" Angels. They don't have chapter tactical squads, devastators or scout squads. Their new recruits are bloodclaws, their basic troops are hunters, their scouts and devs are vets. Also, wolf guard.

Personally I really don't want 30k SW to be super special, especially wolfety-wolf-wolf. Give us frost blades and axes, some skills, ICs the ability to buy yodawgs and throw in a special unit or two. Executioners if you want to get fancy (I'm happy to just run mine as dakka predators).
>>
>>47169312
Alan was pretty clear that they're not aiming to make 30k wolves into wolf-fuckers, pointing out the recent Wulfen as an example of shit (and then awkwardly trying to backtrack a little because he indirectly talked shit about GW).
>>
>>47169372
I think Alan is just a big fan of 2nd-3rd edition of 40k and is trying to recreate that with the HH, I expect the wolves to be based around that era of their army.
>>
>>47169372
I seem to recall FW wanting 30k Mechanicum and 40k Mechanicus to be different from one another, yet now they're making conversion kits for 40k Admech stuff and 40k Admech units (inc. post-Heresy creations) are seen in 30k artwork.

So let's see then.

Compulsory troops choices would be Blood Claws and Grey Hunters. Blood Claws are Assault Squads without packs and with worse WS/BS but Rage. Grey Hunters would be Tactical Squads but would gain True Grit in exchange for a decreased maximum squad size. Together they form a hammer and anvil setup.

Heavy Weapons Squads would be replaced by Long Fangs which have higher LD and split fire, but a max squad size of 5 or 6. They'll probably wind up never being taken because of the small squad size and because one of the legion's unique units will be a Leman Russ, probably of the Exterminator variety.

The other unique unit will be Wolf Scouts, who will be recon squads on steroids, behind you, and with special weapons.

LA:SW will probably give Acute Senses and Counter Attack. We'll might see some sort of Lone Wolf as a Consul upgrade. Legion Specific wargear will probably include frost swords/axes, pet wolves, and some form of hunting trophies that give the taker a CC buff.

Also no Apothecaries.
>>
>>47169840
Average 40k is balanced against average 30k between 2000 to 2500 points or so. Higher than that 30k can have an advantage with some potent Lords of War, lower than that point totals just totally fuck the 30k list. Minmaxed 40k vs minmaxed 30k, 40k wins.

>>47169840
>Does the Horus Heresy stand up to 40k armies?

Yes, as long as theres not much bullshit.

> Do they legitimately have a chance against Formations?

Depends on the formation I guess but overall I think not, formations tend to give more bonuses for less restrictions than rites of war plus you only get ONE detachment whereas 40k can bring a ton of small sized detachments with bonuses against your army and that will be the end of your 30k army.

If playing against 40k armies use the HH restrictions for both armies, so no formations and only one detachment.

I don't think I'm getting your reference, I haven't read much of the general fluff, just rules for all and specific fluff for a few legions.

The Mechanicum needs expanding on. We need to know what sort of goodies Horus took away with his heresy.

I've always figures even without formations that 40k would simply go MSU and screw over 30k.

So we can taunt 40k fags with our sweet gear?

No, anon, Lion kills beasts.

No. So we can lament the loss of such sweet gear.

I would personally like to see regular Imperial Army. Solar Auxilia are the standardized IA, and Imperial Militia are more like PDFs, but we don't really have the Imperial Army.
>>
>>47170620
That's probably Book 9.

Just received my first Forge World order. It was a set of 5 Templar Brethren upgrades...I open it up to check it out, and I noticed a hilt was bent, so I went to touch it and it broke off. Is this typical "welcome to Forge World!" hazing or should I just go back to plastic where my big grubby paws can't fuck things up so easily?
>>
>>47171580
You should contact forgeworld and tell them one hilt arrived broken.

And then go back to superior plastic anyway.
>>
>>47170620
Aren't Imperial Militia rules also supposed to represent the Imperial Army as well as PDF?

Their fluff section certainly makes it seem that way, especially with it referring to the Old One Hundred.
>>
For Word Bearers, what is the best way to get 10 Gal Vorbak into combat?
I could run a Spartan, like everybody else, but looking for other ideas. Dreadclaw don't think is the best, mostly cause easier to lose them to AA and takes longer for them to come in and then assault. I could Deep Strike them, but don't know of any way to make them not scatter, and not going to risk a 400pts CC unit.
What would you guys recommend? Is it really Spartan or Bust?
>>
>>47171469
Hnnng I don't know. The lightning claws look way more dangerous than the power fists, and those jetpacks remind me of Stormboyz.
>>
>>47171837
No, their entry says they're the bottom of the barrel, planetary garrison forces, etc. Even their commander can have the "planetary overlord" rule.

So if they're the bottom of the barrel and SA are the top tier, surely there's suppose to be a middle tier average Army trooper.
>>
>>47171872
Dreadclaw can get you a turn 2 assault. They're assault vehicles and have drop pod assault, so it'll come in turn 1. And of you place it right where you want it, it can't really scatter to where you can't reposition it properly next turn and be within assault range. Just something to think about.
>>
>>47170165
Kek
>>
>>47171469
The same. Is there any other model in the range with something similar that I'm just missing?
>>
>>47171837
Nah the book repeatedly mentions that they only get stuff because it has been relegated to second line service or their governor spent tons of money, resources, and influence getting it.
>>
>>47171751
This.
Resin fucking sucks. And plastics are getting right up there now...
>>

Can IG just be directed ported over to HH without there being a great disparity in power?
I can't think of them being overpowered in any since of the word compared to 40k Tau or God forbid Eldar

don't think its much of a problem provided you aren't actively list tailoring or being a WAACfag

The Lion was already knocking some retarded space pup on his ass in Unremembered Empire and Russ was all ready to smack some Dark Angel at the end of the Wolf King after the Dark Angels saved his flea bitten ass
>>
>>47170651
If Book 9 isn't BA/DA/WS with NL special termies and Chaos Daemon rules for 30k FW can get fucked.
>>
>>47172753
I mean how could they even list tailor.
Mass Leman Russ? SA can do that and theirs are fast.
Artillery? Legions can bring their own.
Mass troops? Well ten flamer squads are a thing. And phospex...
>>
>>47172790
Nah mang book 7 should be the book about the full WS and BA we didn't get in 6 and possibly the 30k Dangle stuff. Book 8 is going to be Inferno.
>>
While both the baseline build and majority of all possible builds for Militia and Cults armies represent dregs, it's entirely possible to represent forces more elite than Solar Auxilia with them and everywhere inbetween.

It's very much Forgeworld granting human army players a license to make generally whatever, in a way that may be more limiting that specialised and coherent factions for whatever each individual player has in mind in return for serving every possible type of player without being completely unfluffy or imbalanced.
>>
>>47172652
>And plastics are getting right up there now...

Not really. Plastic still has rounded details that aren't as crisp as resin.
>>
>>47172697
well Chimeras dont exist in 30k.

maybe Valkyries too? I'm not sure.

but apart from that it would probably be fine.
>>
>>47172744

I put my spartan pieces in to soak. My god, that sumbitch is gonna be heavy

Tell that to Angron, he flipped the bitch.
>>
>>47173305
Bullshit. Compare FW's contemptor assault cannon or multi-melta with the BaC weapons and come back to me. The resin ones look like dogshit when they're actually side by side.

Yeah? And go compare plastic Mk IV to resin Mk IV. Or FW Trygon and GW Trygon. Sit the fuck down, plastic baby, you don't know shit. Plastic physically cannot hold as great a level of detail as resin. It's a fucking law of physics due to how the plastic is manufactured. So unless you have a goddamn machine that can produce things within a 0% tolerance of the physical limit of a straight-edge, plastic is inferior in terms of detail.
>>
>>47175573
I don't give a shit if the "sharpness" of your detail can cut through steel, if the piece looks like garbage it looks like garbage.
>>
>That's it. I'm sick of all this "Resin's superior details" bullshit that's going on in the miniatures market right now. Plastic deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.
>>
>>47175473
which book?
>>
>>47175768
Betrayer. Guy tries to run Angron down with a Chimera. It doesn't work.
>>
all this resin v plastic salt started because I got a broken piece of resin sword in my order. hey the other stuff looks good at least! I think I'll just stick to ordering the bigger models from here on out though...superior detail is great and all, but I've got big clumsy hands and I don't want to worry about breaking my model's pencil dick thin swords every time I use them.
>>
>>47172871
Book 7 Inferno was announced months ago.
>>
>>47176296

What's it going to focus on?
>>
>>47176391

Thousand Sons, Space Wolves, Sisters of Silence, Custodians, Arkadine Mechanicum.
>>
>>47176391
Tsons, space wolves, custodes and sister of silence
>>
>>47173305
Who gives a fuck about super sharp edges. I will take 10 percent less super sharp detail to not having to soak and scrub every fucking piece, or unbending the bits with heat guns or hot water, or spend all that time trimming it, with a God Damn toxic substance no less.
If FW went all plastic only you the hipsters would bitch
>>
>>47175573
Detail isn't the only factor though... plastics are a lot sturdier, easier to work with and aren't toxic to inhale. List goes on.
>>
>>47176524
>>47176579
This I prefer plastic because it's easier to work with and harder to break. Well designed models will always use the strengths of their material to achieve results anyway.

Hi HHG

Google didn't really help for me, so I'm asking you guys!

Did any specific knight houses march alongside the EC, whether before or during the heresy?

Thanks!
>>
>>47176957
House Devine falls to Slaanesh pretty hard and I'm sure they'll have fought alongside the Emperor's Children from time to time.

Get the penises out of your eye sockets and fucking look at that photo you moron the plastic Trygon looks like shit compared to the resin one. That's so "up there"!

Is a Militia army with the Feral Warriors and Survivors provenances competitive with casual-tier 40k players? Talking about a Deldar, Swordwind+Harlies, KDK, CSM, and non-formation using Iltramarine meta.
>>
>>47178971

Most things are competitive with casual tier.

>KDK
>Ultramarine CADs

Lol.

>>47177041
Also the Vyronii House, alongside with the Death Eagles EC millennial.
>>
>>47159473

Stop the presses, assault cannons break the game

>>47176524
Spot on mate.
>>
>>47180286

Isnt he referring to the ability to put on in your dreads powerfist?
>>
>>47180500
Pretty broken if you ask me, most broken thing since Nanyte pistol Ghostwalk Matrix
>>
>>47180286
Plus their whole effectively +1 strength and two wounds per hit sword.
>>
>>47180702
People seem to confuse broken and exploitable with good
>>
>>47180788
I like this whole Contemptor Dreadnought thing. But mine will have both CCW and Double Assault cannons, because fuck you.
>>
>>47180702

That's nothing special, all the legions have specific bonuses and special weapons. BA are stronger in close combat and can trade paragon blades for a sword that's a bit better at mulching infantry. The assault cannons aren't OP in moderation, but do contain the means for grotesque exploitation. I suppose that's where not playing WAAC arseholes comes in.
>>
>>47172744
Thanks, senpai.
>>
How would you guys outfit your veteran tactical squad sergeants? I'm torn between giving them power Fists and power swords...and whether Artificer Armor is even worth it
>>
>>47181629
It is very usefull against shooting and fists mulch people.
>>
>>47181803
Thanks for the reply. I'm also deep striking in a 5 man cataphractii terminator squad for my Imperial Fists. Should I be giving them all bolters to benefit from tbe Legion rules, or should I give one of them a plasma blasrer?
>>
>>47176480
This one is correct. Plus Legio Titanicus.
>>
>>47180788

Its only broken on the dread, for the rest i have no issues with it at all.
>>
>>47177795
check the maps in HH2, Imperial Army were totally there.
>>
>>47180947
This. Times a hundred
>>
>>47181629

Artificer is handy to tank a few shots.

Personally i dont use fists, most because they end up dead before they can hit back, and melta bombs are better in opening tanks anyways
>>
>>47181843
Depends on what you want to use them for.

Give them solarites and shields for maximum tanky punches , several versions of that even.

THEN go stone gauntlet for that toughness increase of shield formation dudes.
>>
>>47149297
What's the best way to get into 30k? Betrayal At Calth?

Don't. We don't want any more 40kids here.

Boooooh, dont be an elitist dingbat.

>>47182533
Yes, also new set is planned for fall according to rumours.

Maybe some different armour types.
