2nd for Orks are the rightful owners of the galaxy

My hands always shake when I paint, it makes things like outlining, etc. really difficult. Any advice?

>>47176156
Steady your hand against something. If your holding the model don't grip too hard.
And just keep practicing. Over and over and over. The key is PROGRESS expecting immediate perfection will kill you desire to paint as that shit just doesn't magically happen

>>47176156
As somebody with Shaky Hand Syndrome as well, I sincerely recommend hand exercises. Building up muscles in your hands will go a long way to helping your shakes.

Also, cut out caffeine and sugar if you can, or at least scale it back.

How do you guys think pic related are best equipped points wise ?

>>47176599
>True enough, but don't all chapters board Space Hulks?
of course

But that's not really what you think about when you're making a video game version of an extremely beloved board game. They COULD have done a deathwatch dealie or whatever, custom chapter they wanted, but you need to remember the guys making it likely played Deathwing and Genestealer as kids. Maybe even played the ooold space hulk game on the Amiga.

>>47176694
>impressive

Welp I can't help with that, I paint like a novice to say the least.

You can just google Armies on Parade and probably find a ton

>>47176156
Rest on hand on the other while you paint. While holding the model with your left hand, extend a finger or just use your palm. Then, with your right hand, extend your pinky to connect with your left hand and and use it as a resting/stabilizing point. Then, paint using whatever technique you want. There is also this trick if you are interested with rubber bands but be carefull not to do it too long, it will cut off the circulation in your hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvLQZ1cMX3I

>>47176154

This game is still a thing? I thought it got shitcanned more than a year ago.

>>47176156

Have your elbows both resting on your work surface. With smaller pieces, press the heels of your palms together while you paint. Really helps to keep em steady.

>>47176820
Yeah when games stop being developed you can still play them. Who would have known

>>47176729
Yeah, it makes sense for a 'story' point of view, more ease of maxing it coherent or interesting instead of "purge X".

>>47176589
Stygies VIII if I had to do a established one. I like their xeno tech interest. I also like how the Inquisition wants to Exterminatus them, but can't, due to their essentialness. So they send dozens of Deathwatch down there to blow heads off rogue people. Yet the Inquisition also likes Stygies VIII as they produce interesting research and weapons. I think it was they who set space on fire in Damocles.

But I'd be tempted to make my own Forge World. One similar to Stygies VIII in interest in xeno tech. But perhaps with Red, Black, White and Purple. If I could find a decent web 'painter' I would.

I also plan to build the entire Blood Angels chapter one day. 50+ Thunderhawks and all.

>>47176844

Hey guise, wuts going on in dis fred?

Possibly a stupid question but:
Are Immortal gauss rods the same dimensions as the Warriors?

>>47177057
Yeah, they just come with four, I believe.

>>47177057
The older ones were, yes. The current ones do not use gauss rods.

>>47177088
So if I wanted to change the rods out, how would I go about doing it?

>>47177124
Forget that actually. Just looked at a gauss blaster and noticed they weren't clear. Seems like I'm alright.

I have a problem.

I absolutely love the Tau battlesuits and mechs and all that.

I hate how the tau race itself looks like.

Could I make an all-battlesuit army that isn't WAAC-faggish or anything like that, and could be used in Killteam/HoR?

>>47177003
I also wanted to do my OCDONUTSTEEL SoB Order. But I can't. Not with those models. Sorry GW, even if they were great models, they're the most expensive shit they have. 10 models is 20 marines.

>>47177185
>I hate how the tau race itself looks like.
even the guys wearing full helmets?

>>47177185
Holy shit. Are you me? I hate the fishfaced fucks, but I love their suits. I also hate their tanks and aircraft. Hammerhead and Skyray are bearable, but the others are meeeh.

I've wanted to do what you're doing. I can't remember how good all suit armies are, or if they're even doable. Sure they are.

>>47177185
I hate how the tau fit into the 40k universe. Please remove them and put them into some other gundam space universe.

>>47177185
See >>47177222 I agree with this guy though >>47177207 Fire Warriors with Helmets = Amazing. I love Fire Warriors suits. I just don't like FishFaced Slit bastards.

>>47177207
Eh, they're fine. Mostly the unarmored ethereals(?). I'll get over it probably.

>>47177185
I got wrecked by a crisis suit kill team at a local kill team night. I don't think it was cheesey or anything I just had a very lackluster team. It was the contents of one box of CSM with no Rhino.

That explains it. Get a plastic missile launcher from the tactical marines or betrayal at calth marines.

Hey guys, returning to 40k here. I have a SM army, a guard army and a Tau army (all built for 5th ed). What would your current power rankings look like with current editions/codeces? My friend who convinced me to start playing again says SM are way OP. Is he right?

>>47176906
It's not autism. It's idjits trying to start up unnecessary fights.

So how do I expand my AdMech force from here? I want to be able to do more than War Convo, now that I can:

2x Dominus
3 Grav-Destroyers
3 Arc-Breachers
20 Vanguard (4 plasma)
10 Rangers (3 Arc)
5 Claw-and-blade Ruststalkers
5 Taser-Infiltrators
1 Lascannon Chickenwalker
2 Onagers with Neutron Lasers
1 Knight Errant with optional Icarus Gun

>>47177356
Both SM and Tau can be built extremely strong. Space Marine have so many formations, wargear and units available there is no surprise that they can become one of the strongest armies.

>>47177356
Tau and Spacemarines (Certain chapters) are the meta right now and are the second most op armies right under Eldar (The most OP). Guard is set right in the middle of the meta. They will shitstomp any low tier codex like orks/chaos/deldar/nids/etc... but are lackluster against the tau/SM/Eldar/Necrons

>>47177391
>>47177393
So how do fliers and super-heavies work into the current rules? I assume fliers are just always there, but are super-heavies/gargantuan creatures ok to use always?

>>47177366
Get some of the SEXY AS FUCK Forge World Models. I want these (as well as the Thanatar and others).

>>47177418
>super-heavies/gargantuan creatures ok to use always?
Rule of thumb is to ask the people you are actually playing the game with but you wont see them under 1500pts ideally.
As far fliers my shop tends to go for the 1 per 1000 rule not taking any till 1500.

>>47177434
Mechanicum =/= Mechanicus. Unless I missed an update, I can't use the 30k stuff in 40k.

>>47177418
Flyers got new rules in Death in the Skies. It's not mandatory, but it adds new shit like giving specific vehicles bonuses for what they do.

Such as, Storm Raven is now specifically a Ground Attack craft and gains bonuses for such things, but if it has to shoot down another flyer, it'll struggle. Basically, every faction has two flyers. One is a 'bomber' or 'attack craft' (either may have transport capacity) while the other one is Air Superiority. The rules now make each one like that. If you're BA or GK, you're fucked. Sorry.

Space Marines got a new flyer, but I dunno if BA and GK can take it.

>>47177446
Ah ok. But by pure RAW, there is nothing stopping a person (other than refusal to play them) from using all that stuff as much as they like? The whole unbound thing is so fucking retarded.

>>47177418
Super heavies is the name of the game now of days. You can make really strong lists with/without them and only a few are "OP PLZ NERF" like everyone will shoutout. Taking one is acceptable but beware of backlash if you take more then 1. Note that in this edition, Eldar/Tau have the lead in Super-heavies as the current ruling favors toughness over Armour-value and the vehicle punishment table.

>>47177366
bulk out your onager, chickenwalker and infiltrator squads

>>47177471
Nope no restrictions, a guy could turn up to a 1k point game with 3 wraithknights if he wanted.

>>47177449
I believe you can. If your opponent agrees of course (but that applies to all Forge World stuff). This book had updated rules which I believe says you can use them in 40k if your opponent agrees. Forge World guys on Facebook say the same.

But, if you don't want that, I'd get some Electro Priests. You need those for War Convo iirc.

/tg/, how would you make Khorne Berzerkers not suck?

>>47177500
And I could tell him to go fuck himself, enjoy his empty table.

>>47177505
>You need those for War Convo iirc.
You absolutely do not. You need one of everything from the Skitarii book, an HQ and two Troops from the Cult Mech book, and a Knight.

>>47177488
> Onager
More Neutron Lasers, or should I go with an anti-air?
> Infiltrator
Absolutely. Those guys are right shit-wreckers, and always draw fire so everything else can get into position, as well.
> Chickenwalker
Wait, seriously? Why? They're AV11 Heavy Weapon Teams that can be shaken.

>>47177473
>mfw I'll never be able to put down a Stormlord and 20 Mortar Guys in the transport capacity and launch 20 barrages every turn while my Stormlord does x2 15 S6 AP3(?) shots

Why live? I'm also baffled as to why Stormblades can't be used legally in Super Heavy Company formation. They are my favourite Baneblade chassis tank.

>>47177514
+1A if they take two chainaxes (on top of the +1A for two melee weapons) and FnP.

>>47177546
You could try fielding non-queer tanks you know.

>>47177535
>More Neutron Lasers, or should I go with an anti-air?
anti-air mite be cool as a separate unit

>Wait, seriously? Why? They're AV11 Heavy Weapon Teams that can be shaken.
yeah but they're sexy AV11 Heavy Weapon Teams that can be shaken

>>47177535
Oh. I must have got confused. Either way, I'd get some of those. But that's me, I'd like a bit of each. I have poor memory due to a head injury so I forget shit easy.

>>47177534
Exactly. The system works. but could definitely do with more restrictions overall

>>47177514
Give them back 3.5e chainaxes.

MiniWarGaming.com did a series a while back about how to play, but it was over a year ago now. The fundamentals are still pretty much the same, though.

>>47177366
>do more than War Convo, now that I can

In what capacity can you do more than War Convo? Just meaning that you now have enough models or is there some new Formation or ruling that I don't know about?

>>47176889
>>47176637

Any more like these?

>>47177616
Just that I have enough models. I'm seriously thinking about that Dominus Maniple that came in the Get Started box, desu.

>>47177021
Holy shit what is this Gellar field failure from?

>>47177546
I'm more of a Shadowswords, stormlords, and stormswords kind of guy.

>>47177603
>disagree
absolutely hereitcal/10, get out of my explorator fleet 1v1 me not on the noosphere faggot then see what happens

>>47177600
OP PLZ NERF CHAOS OP.

As I said above, I think, if you gave them an extra chainaxe (for free), instead of Bolt Pistol, they get another +1A. That makes them 5A on the charge, but no range ability. Then give them FnP. They are also 4A when charged. Give them Fleet as well.

That makes them fluffy. Aggressive tactics to get the most out of them and the FnP and Fleet represents their rage to get into the fight quicker.

>>47177632
I like that Formation, but fuck them for creating a 'Get Started' box that combines units that are not even from the same codex.

How long are we supposed to wait before we can just use one book instead of two smaller separate smaller supplements, a White Dwarf article, and a "opponent's permission only" 30k->40k conversion beta ruleset.

It'd be cool to actually be able to just bring a book with my army.

>>47177471
I have never seen someone play unbound above 500pts.

>>47177603
No you misunderstand, I meant to take them as just another unit to fluff out your army. I didn't know you wanted to essentially get suggestions for the best units. You already know what the best units are, I don't see why you'd ask.

>>47177661
A confusing as fuck anime called Mayoiga. Got lots of characters to remember. It's on 5 episodes so far, but it's a great watch if you like crazy shit. It seems to be finally progressing though.

>>47177679
but that would mean updating their 20 year old kit to include more chainaxes!

>>47177661
Boku no pico, you will have to get about halfway through before any of the chaos scary shit begins to happen.

>>47177777

>>47177673
I love Stormlords too. I don't get why the Super Heavy Company formation only lists certain things.

I also like Stormswords (that's the 10" AP2(?) one?) and Hellhammer.

>>47177473
eldar have super heavy vehicles, and they're even more outdated than the imperial factions and from what I can see not that amazing.

It's just that the wraithknight should cost 450+pts and GW seems not to realize this.

>>47177708
But, if they updated the models, people would either shout

>Boring CAD shit!
>No movement!
>Uninspired!
>Static!

or

>Overdesigned CAD shit
>Too much going on
>Concentrated too much on movement!
>Looks like a 6 year old designed it

So I think they'd do just fine. But you're right, if they did update them, extra chainaxes would be cool.

Funny thing is. In HH, Red Butchers can swap with Bolt Pistol for another Chainaxe (Free) but there is no benefit in doing so. They already got +1A from having Chainaxe + Pistol. The extra chainaxe makes them look cooler, but they lose their (albeit BS2) pistol shot.

>>47177725
It's mine!

>>47177514
Let them assault out of Rhinos. Give them Feel no Pain is they win an assault. Chain Axes give shred. Sergeant has 2 wounds. Cheaper Plasma Pistols/Melee Weapons. Maybe drop the point cost by one or two.

>>47177746
The stormsword is a str 10 ap1 apoc blast with 32 inch range and it ignores cover. The Hellhammer is the same but with a smaller blast and a turret. The stormsword is one of the few meta things the IG has next to Wyverns.

>mfw can't decide what army to start.

I love how tyranids look, but that's about it. Would make for some nice paint schemes.

I love Guardsman's fluff, as well as their tanks and such, but something about them feels off for some reason. Possibly the fact that I'd probably be unhappy painting tons of infantry. Ironically enough, I'd be fine painting tons of Tyranids. Eh.

With Space Marines there's so much to choose from, and I can't decide on a favorite chapter.

I love Tau mechs/suits, but hate how the race itself looks.

Don't care about Eldar.
Don't care abour Dark Eldar.

Love AdMech fluff, unsure about them other than that.

Though I love Orks in the fluff, I'm not interested in playing them.

>>47177818
I'm liking everything but assaulting out of rhinos.

Just make Land Raiders better. the subracting remaining hp from vehicle damage has done a lot of that.

>>47177768
>eldar have super heavy vehicles, and they're even more outdated than the imperial factions

Lol, no. Eldar has their own shadowsword which can fly and fires twice. Guess which one is cheaper

You like mecha stuff, do you like augmentation/bionic type stuff? Iron Hands are cool

>>47177863
Interesting. Stormsword sounds like the perfect Cities of Death unit. Hellhammer sounds like an decent alternative and more flexible. It's 7" right? Not too bad a drop for the ability to turn the turret.

>>47177872
I'd like to see a middle-of-the-road option for Chaos between a Rhino and a land-raider. Something around 100 points that's good for an important squad, but not a full blown 200 points just for a transport.

>>47177868
Play Genstealercult allied with guardsmen. Make it a fluffy Genestealercult who took over a guards regiment and use a blend of IG tech and Tyranid biomass to create their warforce.

You could always sub in human heads/legs in fire warrior armor and play a mixed race force.

I haven't looked at the rules in ages because whatever the pt cost, the dollar cost is outside my price range.

>>47177868
Sounds like you'd want an armoured company for guard, which is fairly doable. You could easily take mostly tanks and fewer infantry.

Then everybody else will want one. I don't think Ad Mech even get a transport vehicle.

As a Sisters player that's why my army never reached apoc levels. That and all the models that are always out of stock.

>>47177921
I always liked the idea of letting berserkers or chaos marines in general ride around on the outside of a vehicle. Limited transport space, but they offer it a cover save and can charge off of it.

Yeah, they get a lot more toys in IA13 while remaining a core choice (with the right warlord) which is a big part of the draw.

I may end up doing two R&H armies but for now I'm trying to get my brain to focus on just one.

Guess I'm just used to the "one good option per slot" issue Sisters have and that's making it hard to choose. That said I do want an elite Chaos humans feeling Army and since I don't feel like using my Sister's codex for count-as (namely because I've plundered ever thing you can run out of it and run out of new ways to spin the same old list) so this looks like a good method.

>>47178159
If you're worried about your chaos scions not having enough bullets or staying power, get either some artillery platforms or leman russ tanks, or possibly even some ogryns. Ogryns are super expensive but a squad of 3 is like ~200 points for a pretty threatening fire magnet. I run mine with nurgle and carapace and they usually do pretty well except for the one game where I literally failed every single save I was called upon to make.

I have a semi-similar problem where I do have a gameshop that is really close but has the worst owner ever. The few that got started playing at his store stopped playing warhammer because of his stupidity. He would never stock up on his store, had very little models on hand, and would always end up ordering the wrong thing. He told me and my friend (The last who actively play warhammer there) that he would still do warhammer and support it, but we should go out and bring him customers. He even offered a program where new players don't have to pay his five dollar per person table fee. Atleast there is another store 40 minutes away in sarasota that has actual stock and doesn't charge for a tablespace.

>>47178247
Yeah, I had the same experience. One of the more "professional" shops had some judgmental over competitive dicks to play against which sucked as someone who just wanted to play a fucking game. But I did find one that was barely bigger than a bedroom that just had people who could grab some beers, make some jokes and roll some dice.

>>47178308
I think Armoured Battlegroup is from a forgeworld supplement. Not sure which one, but it's probably in the Mega link in the OP

Even without it, it's easy enough to take a minimal level of troops, or use some of the new guard formations to field more tanks.

I can't really give you much specific advice, since I don't play guard. All I can really recall is that you shouldn't give side-sponsons to a Leman Russ with an Ordnance Main gun.

>>47177711
From I remember the chaos shit starts from right the start

>>47178339

>>47178308
There is an old baneblade formation where I think you take a shadowsword/baneblade and put it with as many sentinels/lemanrusses that you want. Instead of the shadowsword taking any wounds from a single weapon, you can sacrifice a sentinel/ russ tank and the Super heavy suffers no dmg.

Yes, but they use slaves for that because fuck doing menial tasks.

this is also why all of their gear is shit, because terrified/insane/half-starved slaves make poor technicians

>>47178533
Is it common in lore for Chaos shit to fail then?

>>47178266
You read my mind about the conversion. I was thinking the same thing myself, it's just a really natural choice.

So because the Scions can get a Hotshot volley for every 5 models should I ignore the normal specials in favor of vox and the sigil or should I basically double up on firepower over the possible ld buffing?

>>47178465
Exterminator with plasma is an ace combination. cheap base platform firing STR7 shots. all over the place.

i swear by them. great utility tanks that tend to get ignored because "just exterminators". oh and always go with hull LC for them.

as for HWT it depends if you need hard targets taken out or not. otherwise Autocannons are the bread and butter of the guard.

would recommend a Vendetta with troops w/ meltas if you need something for harder targets anyway.

oh and if you really want to throw your opponents off, use a Crassus Dominator artillery tank. found in Imperial Armour V2. 280 pts for 6 HP 14/13/12 and a three shot STR10 AP1 barrage.

>>47178308
Can run a Cadian Battlegroup with 1-2 Emperor's Fist Armoured Company with optional Recon, Arty, Aerial, and Super Heavy Support and not take a single infantry model.

>>47178565
I'd double the firepower, I usually get pretty lucky and get renegades with better morale than my CSM. If you're super worried about failing morale you can always attach an enforcer to them.

>>47178588
I lied. The Arty Company has to take a CCS.

>>47178465
I'd say the Autocannon for the HWT.

I say go for the Melta sponsons and Hull Lascannon, since the Exterminator Autocannons aren't Ordinance weapons, it can actually use those attachments, making it about 170 points, iirc. The same as a normal LR with HBolter sponsons.

This gives the Exterminator a Jack-of-All-Trades mentality that actually works, since all those powerful shots can actually be used at once.

iirc, that's about 2(?) melta shots, 1 lascannon shot, and 4 Twin-linked Autocannon shots.

All for the price of one normal LR with HBolters. A Leman Russ that can only use them as snapshots. Lame.

Some pretty major changes this time around.

Chaos Devotions dropped in favor of god covenants similar to the current Mark system. Icons are greatly expanded. "Legion" support for the Legion's not feasible under the current options when the Chaos Warband detachment is finalized.

>>47178600
Fair point then. So 10 with 2 volley guns and 2 meltas in an Autocannon chimera. A champion with melta bombs and a power axe might be good too for getting the covenant for the squad (Tzeentch all the way).

I think three of those forms a solid backbone for the Army.

Probably will leave the CS pretty cheap since they can't run hotshots for some reason (should be a core choice for disciples in my opinion).

>>47178600
Or a member of a Cyclopia Cabal. Sure, he's more expensive than an Enforcer, but he's got a higher average Leadership, better armor, a Force Weapon, and access to Telepathy. Assuming they all roll on Telepathy, you've got pretty good odds of rolling Mental Fortitude to rally any units that do fail a check.

>>47178716
You can detach the demagouge from the squad but IMO its usually easier to just leave him be. Upgrade the command squad with a mortar team and let em fling shells at the enemy from behind a wall somewhere. Its a five point upgrade and at least lets the squad do something for the game.

In the BL novels and Imperial Armor books, they have human slaves that work for them. Same as human crew and servants on Astartes ships back in the pre-heresy years.

Read the Night Lords trilogy. Talos' servant Septimus is the motherfucking man. Dude flies a Thunderhawk all by himself in combat, repairs and polishes weapons and armor, takes shit from the other traitor marines, walks around on Lufgt Hurons space station like he doesnt give a fuck, keeps the ships human crew in line, makes a baby, and is generally just a humbly awesome guy. That lives with the Night Lords and works in the dark.

Chaos Marines arent all warp loving queerdos. Some of them just hate the Imperium of man, and have regular dudes simultaneously doing the bitch work and becoming legends on the side.

Has anyone confirmed anything on whether or not the sister of battle are getting closer to having plastics or is that just a far reaching dream that will never become a reality?

>>47179137
Noise marines are fine, just pricey and the official models are very old. They are priced similar to Chosen, but they get fearless and Mark of Slaanesh instead of a CCW and +1A. With an Icon of Excess and gun upgrades they are a very durable and very shooty unit, but they start to get really pricey.

As I said, follow your heart. If you want marines, take marines.

>>47179184
The codex lists a few. You can always make your own warband too.

>>47179184
DL the CSM codex and read it for yourself.

CSM are fairly undeveloped, and the Legion's still get the lion's share of the exposition, despite their supposed death and obsolescence.

>>47179199
>>47179184

There's the Renegades & Heretics army list from forgeworld. Literally Traitor Guard.

>>47179425
>>47179438
Something else to mention about Renegades & Heretics, if you go for Slaanesh Devotions, you can pick up Noise Marines and Sonic Dreadnoughts as Elites in the army. Could be a good way to include some CSM stuff without going too far into it.

>>47179425
Renegades and Heretics from Imperial Armor 13 is the core "traitor Guard" list. It's Battle Brothers with all the other Chaos factions, so you can freely mix them. Note that all Chaos Daemon units have Daemonic Instability, which means your mortal and Neverborn Independent Characters can't join each others units.

>>47179438

>"they are fine" isn't saying "you will stomp all over scatbike eldar, tau waac bullshit, or space marine cheatfuck formations"
I never implied that was what you, or anyone else, said.

Chaos Space Marines, Orks, Tyranids, and Dark Eldar will struggle to win against average lists from the other codexes. Winning against competitive lists from the other codexes, or even mediocre lists from the top tier codexes, will be extremely difficult if not impossible.

As long as your fine with playing the game on hard mode, go ahead and play Orks or Chaos Space Marines or Dark Eldar. Just know what you're signing up for.

some top tier codexes are less forgiving than others

If you throw together random kits you will have a terrible Eldar list, but if you do the same with Tau you will have formations and some good combinations going.

I looked into tau once. I planned on buying a Start Collecting! box, an OSC box, and a bunch of drones for the drone net formation that gives them outflank and +1 BS. I decided against it for a few reasons, but that would have been a pretty scary 1000 point list to play against. The scariest thing of all though is how easy it is to put a list like that together while just buying bundles and/or what looks good.

You have to try pretty hard to make a shitty Eldar list. Space Marines and Daemons are the top tier codexes that can easily make a shitty list. The former because most of their strength comes from Grav Weapons and formations, the latter because only a handful of units are actually good.

>>47179895
>If you throw together random kits

You'll have a strong Tau or Eldar list. Marines require more planning, but you can still fall into it pretty easily.

Top tier codexes are on another level entirely

Totally. Guardians and Dire Avengers can both hold objectives and take out a variety of threats, and they're fairly mobile as well. The Wave Serpents help with this further, and they'd can function as fairly durable tanks even outside their transport duties. Vypers are fast, though a bit fragile. You'll probably want anti-tank guns on them and whatever else you can, as your infantry won't really have that option. Striking Scorpions can easily infiltrate and serve as a durable distraction or assault in to a vulnerable unit. The Farseer should help tie it together with psychic support.

Eh 5 man Plague Marine squads arent bad. They get 2 specials, assault/defensive grenades, T5, aids, poison (4+), fearless, and FnP.

>>47179971
Most guardsmen actually do have goggles and masks, especially Cadians. The models just don't come with them for the usual 'hur dur we don't represent the fluff at all' of GW model makers. No different than how space marines wear a mixture of various armor types mashed together but all the GW kits are largely made of pure MK 7.

>admits that they were only okay BEFORE the latest round of power creep
Plague Marines just don't do enough, and they have the same problem that pretty much all elite infantry has. They still die fairly easily to the same weapons that are good at killing regular space marines. That said, Plagues only need to to drop a couple PPM and have a better codex around them and they'd be fine.

Is there ANY synergy in bringing together AdMech and Harlequins? They're at least Allies of Convenience, right? Does the AdMech bring anything to the table that would really flesh out Harlequins? I want to run a primarily Harlequin army, and I like AdMech enough that they'd probably be my second army, and I'm just wondering if it'd ever be worth fielding them together so that I can make use of my entire collection.

>>47180013
It takes a lot of work to build a bad Eldar army.

If you want to run a ton of Scorpions, Karandras is potentially worth the points - he gives them a lot more freedom to infiltrate in strong positions, and he's pretty strong. You can get away with just Exarchs though - they have an option that makes them excellent challenge fighters. They won't beat most ICs geared for duels, but they can whack sergeants easy.

>>47180272
Kinda... Both armies would do pretty well but you are sticking yourself with no transports. That means footslogging all the way. I would suggest maybe an army that focuses on outflanking and single target elimination

I have a question about the Grey Knight Brotherhood Champion. Does the master-crafted work on the exchanged Smash attack in a challenge? It says under smash you roll to hit as you would normally, but you exchange your attacks for the smash attack. I figured the mastercrafted would work because of the wording, but my friend is questioning it.

>>47180319
It does work. You still use your weapon, even if you are smashing.

Harlequins have transports. They can't hold a lot of clowns (which is a shame, they're clown cars, come on GW) but they do bring Shuriken Cannons

I was thinking maybe borrowing an Onager for the AA, and maybe the walker formation for a bunch of slightly-hardier-than-Harlequins killy distraction walkers. Or that formation that boosts the Infiltrator bubble, and run a bunch of Sicarians together with Harlequins in transports - a Toughness-reducing effect seems like it would be really useful for an army whose gimmick is throwing out a million billion S3 attacks.

His melee deathstar sure did hurt my vanguard when they got into assault... But my warhound did most of the legwork and I ended up tabling him on turn 3

In retrospect, do you think that was that worth the time spent typing and solving capcha?

>>47180427

>>47180415
I mean, Harlequins do one thing and one thing well, and that's roll an unreasonable number of rending attacks on their number of dice.

Running some Skitarii Vanguards alongside could potentially do a lot for their problems with stuff that's high-T. Infiltrators and their -1 WS/BS/Ld/I bubble basically guarantee the high-skill, high-initiative Harlequins are getting lots of 3+ to hit, 5+ to be hit fights, hitting first even against other fast armies, and getting shot less. Plus the potential hilarity of a -1 Ld bubble alongside the Mask of Shadows for utter Ld fucking shenanigans. Against armies vulnerable to Fear that becomes extra hilarious.

I switched to the old captcha months ago. Literally 40% shitposting capacity. Also, it was at one point where every other picture captcha did an infinite loop where I would solve one after another.

At my local GW, it seems like the main 40k armies are warrior/walker focused Necrons, and foot slogging Ultramarines.

>Beating 3rd/4th ed Necrons when they brought a Monolith and the Nightbringer

You took one or the other. Bringing both just brought him way too close to Phase Out.

Truth be told I did like the fluff of Phase Out but fuck me if it didn't severely limit list building in what was already a severely limited codex.

>>47180335

Both are totally fine thematic lists. BullyBlitzGitz (nice name btw) will struggle a little against some forces but I honestly consider it hands down to be the most fun Ork list out there. Bear in mind that the new FAQ disallows the MANZ from charging after the Scout move if you go second, and the units can't start the game on the Battlewagons. That second one will likely be changed before the FAQs are officially released but bear it in mind for future games.

Finding some way to get a KFF into Buzzgob's Stompa in the second list would be great. 5++ invul on a 12 HP vehicle is very nice. The Big Mek holding it could take Da Fixer Upper too for a delicious 3+ repair roll.

>>47180996
The idea is to have the meka dredd waddle near the stompa initially, breaking off when its melee time.

>>47181014

Stompa moves 12 inches a turn, whereas the Meka moves 6. So it will likely outpace it quite quickly.

>>47181104
He's got a point though. I'd kill for new Swooping Hawk sculpts, their design is on the outdated side but they're really fun to play with their new rules.

I also wish Mandrakes were good now that they have decent models.

>>47181113
Ork players are expected to be happy with trash rules in exchange for having the easiest army to convert and do dumb shit with on the hobby side, so it runs both ways.

>>47181121
With orks, it doesn't really matter that much if the converted units don't look super fantastic, as Orks can look good even when they look sorta crap, if you get what I mean.

However, with the Eldar, you need to be really good with green stuff (which I ain't) in order to maintain the aesthetics when you convert shit.

>>47180996
Units can't start in one anothers dedicated transports, just anther case of GW being incapable of accurate phrasing.

Seriously man, the Warp Spider sculpts are old as fuck. Fuck, aren't they like almost 2 decades old soon?
I don't remeber them ever being updated, whereas other Aspect Warriors got some updates over the decades.

How hard would it be for GW to just do a new set of sculpts for the Aspect Warriors?
I want shit like picture related.
I'd buy these from those Russian fucks, if they had these available anymore.

>>47181181
It's the Millennieldars. The WAAC'iest of all Eldar generations. One step lower then the knife ear fetish generation.

>>47181228
>someone who wants to run aspect warriors.

Isn't WAAC shit just Wraithknights and jetbikes?

Besides, I have liked the Eldar for almost a decade now. The Aspect Warriors, Warlocs, and Farseers I first got were metallic.

>>47181200
It asks if Units that are BB can embark in one anothers Transports, and they can't.

So no buying battlewaggobs for bikernobs and shoving boys in it.

Just a clarification like dozens of other suestions.

Anyone ever tried using Stormcast Eternals with the Grey Knight rules for Custodes? Seems like it would work for their pre-naked period, and they are dirt cheap with the starter set.

>>47181221
Oh well. Maybe once the Tau die off and battlesuits don't become the main focus of GW's 40k autism audience, then we can start focusing on our infantry models again. The Tau were and still are the worst thing to happen to the 40k universe.

>>47181241
It's an excuse "i want to play aspectdar, but the models are so old, GW literally forces me to cheese "

What?

I don't play cheese. I do play Aspectdar, it is just that I would like to have updated models because seriously, the Aspect Warrior models are old as fuck, monopose shite.

So running a squad of 5 Spiders with an exarch with blades and twin linked deathspinners (because that's the only way the kit can be fucking assembled) is somehow cheesy?

Codex:Craftworlds is WAAC. Now, if you really like Aspect Warriors then you should have zero problem using the sculpts that GW has now. Literally just get some green stuff to tweak them into what you like. If Spacemarine players could do it for a complaint like height then you can too.

>>47181273
>So running a squad of 5 Spiders with an exarch with blades and twin linked deathspinners (because that's the only way the kit can be fucking assembled) is somehow cheesy?

Yes. They are very broken.

Monopose resin models that cling to their weapons in typical 90s style.

>>47181273
>So running a squad of 5 Spiders with an exarch with blades and twin linked deathspinners (because that's the only way the kit can be fucking assembled) is somehow cheesy?
Borderline.They are very good units. But the real cheesyness comes from spamming aspect host formations for that free +1LD and reroll morale-checks.

>>47181290
>What is greenstuff

Sorry not everything will be a nice pretty picture book with numbers 1-32 and step by step assembly. I hear lego has some new kits you might want to look at!

The benefit is the +1 BS

>>47181274
I do like them, which is why I wish that they would get new kits. I want to expand my forces, but I dislike the idea of having to deal with resin monopose shit.
You can't fix monopose shit with greenstuff, at least not with my skills.

Go ahead, do it for rank and file Spider, let me know when you finish resculpting their torso.

>>47181307
Their exarch is fearless as long as he is alive. Yeah, its not a bonus that comes around that often but I've seen it save the day when that exarch has bitten the bullet.

>>47181330
Stealth and Shrouded give a +1/+2 bonus to cover I don't remember which on is which and Move through Cover lets you ignore difficult/dangerous terrain and scenery. 108

>>47181330
Its in the mega in the OP

>>47181339
Just go out and buy some greenstuff you mong. You can complain all you want but GW aint getting any closer to releasing a new sculpt. I'm telling you the closest way to get the results you want you prissy bitch.

>>47181327
So how exactly, is a squad of 5 warp spiders with tl deathspinner and powerblade exarch cheesy?
Keep in mind that the powerblades alone, cost 20 fucking points and they do basically jack shit.

>>47181351
>go on, make gold from lead.

>>47181352
Their weapons don't matter, its their base ability/cost. Eldar codex would be fine by itself if everything wasn't in a bargin bin with bogos. Eldar rules fit well with fluff powerwise, but the size of the armies don't fit well at all.

>>47181352
Theres actually a real reason why you would take powerblades on warp spiders. But if you are this bad at 40k that you cant even see why warp spiders are OP then you cant probably see why powerblades are valid choice, too.

>>47181348
My bad, thanks!

Except that means that if you take a Blitz Brigade you can't start the game with any units on board them, because units of the same faction in different detachments treat each other as Battle Brothers.

It's got nothing to do with Dedicated Transports. The question doesn't even mention Dedicated Transports.

Literally just start practicing. Ofcourse you will be shit the first time you do it, but its not a fools errand. The more you do something, the better you become.

>>47181365
>ur just bad

Never said I was good. My main reason for staring 40k was because I like the aesthetics of the factions, especially that of Eldar.

So please, enlighten me. Because to me, getting into melee with Warp Spiders seems just stupid, when their guns are so much better at killing shit. The only place where decking out the Warp Spider exarch with melee weapons would make sense to me, is if you intend for him to challenge other characters, but why would you waste time with that, when the Warp Spider Exarch isn't even that good at melee in the first place. Wasting 20 points so that you get AP 3 strikes for one model in an unit that is better at shooting anyways, seems wasteful.

>>47181388
Feel free to show any pictures of converted Warp Spiders where someone has fixed the monopose shit they are with greenstuff. Surely, if it is as doable as you claim, there are pictures of that shit already on the internet.

>>47181249
Buy some pointy eldar helmets and some feather plumes and I think you'd be set.

>>47181391
The reason in high-end meta for some powerblades in a list is mirror-matches - punking other warp spiders in melee. The one with Powerblades will win that fight and I've seen games won because of that.

No. It. Doesn't.

It prohibits units from different factions that are Battle Brothers from deploying inside each others transports. It prohibits units from the same faction but different detachments from deploying inside each others transports. Once deployment is over these restrictions no longer apply.

It has absolutely nothing to do with dedicated transports. 7th edition specifically forbids units other than the one who purchased the dedicated transport from deploying inside it.

>The only limitation of a Dedicated Transport is that when it is deployed, it can only carry the unit it was selected with (plus any Independent Characters that have joined it).

>>47181442
>>47181440
And? You don't need to make the whole fucking model from scratch from greenstuff. Its there to give you some wiggle room for joints and connecting parts. Don't start complaining that the models are so "MONO-POSE" when you are too lazy to figure out a way to pose them differently.

Would you guys hate me if I ran emperors children CSM with pre heresy colour scheme?

>>47181420
This is why GW haven't made FAQs in forever. Because some people are suffering from a severe case of being ultra retarded, and can't read common, simple English, and will keep questioning things that cannot be interpreted in any other way.

I wish I knew how you saw the world, because you are under some heavy delusions. Can you start out by telling us what you are reading from that FAQ ruling? Because you are reading "dedicated transport" somewhere, so the text must look vastly different to you.

Feel free to follow the discussion at any time. Literally the only thing you have to do is practice with conversion and you will be fine. You can cut out the gun, replace the torsos with whatever torso replacement you want and then get any leg replacement you want. Or you could cut the joints and use greenstuff to add length to the limbs to change up the pose by cutting certain places into sections. You are just being a lazy fuck.

>>47181508
How about you take the helmets and backpacks from the warp spiders kits and put them on dark eldar models? You can mix the two plastics together, the paint that you put ontop tends to mask that you are mixing parts pretty well.

>>47181505
Except again, rank and file Warp Spiders are SOLID CASTS. They got no separate parts, it is just a single piece. Exarchs are the only ones with separate backbags.
You'd literally have to cut and carve the whole model apart, sans head and Backbag of a rank and file warp spider, if you wanted to start reposing it.

>>47181508
Back packs are green stuff but I wouldn't bother with the helmets, just some scourge heads will do.

>>47181520
You can't, because the Warp Spider kits DO NOT HAVE separate helmets or backbag bits. Only the Exarch has separate backbag.

>>47181521

Its not that hard. Just dig the knife between the helmet and the pack and cut down and around the details you will be using later. Then file down till you have a back-pack/helmet. Custom conversions have been part of the warhammer hobby for a long time. Check on MWG youtube channel. I think they are still doing their video giveaway. They have videos that they are giving away that show how to do conversions.

I want to make an voidsmen themed army.

I was thinking of using both the Inquisition (for the crusader shields backed up with flamers) and the Imperial Guard (melta vets with shotguns and carapace armour)

Does anyone know good models I could do to make them look like a carapace armoured boarding party or whatever? For what it matters I never go to GW to play
