How much AP3 does Tau need to bring at 750-1000 points?

Is one team of TL plasma crisis suits and two hammerheads sufficient for killing MEQ/TEQ at that level?

I was just reading through the Crimson Slaughter Supplement.

If I play a 1750 point game where I bring a fully loaded Cult of Slaughter and then bring an Allied formation that is Typhus and a squad of Plague Marines in a Rhino (Just to quickly move up to grab objectives) Then could I turn all of the Cultists into Plague Zombies in order to slowly plod their way up the field, constantly getting back up after getting riddled with bullets that they are shrugging off, thanks to FNP.

I realize this army will be shit, but I am genuinely curious as to if the rules would allow it. I mean, Typhus' rules state that any Cultist in the same army (Not formation) as him, can be nominated as a Plague Zombie.

I just like the idea of 240 Plague Zombies plodding up the field and giving no fucks as to how many bullets get shot into them.

First for Inquisition has better and more plentiful Daemon weapons then Chaos.

Heres my alternate list for when I don't want an hour long movement phase

>>47232203
Oh, I should've added: Ion Cannon or Rail hammerheads?

3 shot S7 AP3 + Large Blast mode, or S10 AP1 + submunitions blast?

Just wanted to continue from the old thread

Have an upcoming "beginners" tournament, 750pts, not sure what to run. I have Daemons, but I find they aren't great at low points (maybe I'm just shit?). Looking for advice one what to run.

Tournament limitations:

1 HQ or Lord of War
1 Elites
1 Troops
1 Fast Attack
1 Heavy Support
0-1 Auxilary (any ONE of the following : Elites, Troops, Fast Attack, Heavy Support, Fortification)

NO Super Heavies, Gargantuan Creatures, Mighty Bulwarks or Fortification Networks.

Also has to be "friendly" enough not the be veto'd by the TO's, but competitive enough to have a chance.

>>47232252
>Just wanted to continue from the old thread
But not also add any of the units you actually have or anything like that.
You got responses...

>>47232204
I suspect that the cultists would have to be in the same detachment as typhus in order to become zombies, but I could be wrong.

>>47232277
Looks pretty good, theres enough dakka between the ethereal and fire warriors such that you won't have to worry much about MEq. Looks like you're on the right track

So recently my boss gifted me of this, the Emperor's Children lord.

I am an EC and it's nice that is now OOP, but honestly I don't like the model.
Especially the face.

Have you ever seen some good conversion based on this mini?
Some suggestions maybe?

Anyone know what a good Melee based 'Nidzilla list looks like?

At work so this might be a bit off but this is my 3000pt list I will be adding three fliers to for a cool 3500:

>Mace of Redemption, Bike

>Landspeeder w/ Double Multi Melta

Librarius Conclave (White Scars - 330
>3 Level 2 Librarians on Bikes - 110ea

Drown them in AP2

>>47232281

As I said in the last thread too, the units I have aren't an issue, I'm happy to buy an entirely new 750 point army for this.

And none of the responses I got fit the list limitations or were particularly friendly enough to not be veto'd, so there really wasn't anything to add, but thanks.

It looks like you want to win with all the AP2 spam but I don't think you can reliably deal with Fliers or hordes.

Didn't know they weren't good. Whenever I see them they are used on camocloaked scouts that are camping objectives so it gives them decent range and the chance to pick off things. If I ever have to actually get troops it will be 2x5 sniper scouts so I can actually use a CAD.

>>47232475
>It looks like you want to win with all the AP2 spam but I don't think you can reliably deal with Fliers or hordes.

I wouldn't say it is full WAAC but it isn't a bad list. I ordered the flier formation so I can deal with anti-air and against hordier armies I have typhoon missiles and heavy bolters magnetized for my Attack Squadrons.

Also it isn't such a gimmick as the only way to play pure ravenwing at such a high point value. I have no objective secured so I have to rely on doing some damage to the enemy so I can make my mad dash to objectives when the time comes.

>>47232464

Well, my prayers for something Tau from forgeworld that wasn't another battlesuit have been answered.

Anyone know when the new Flyer supplement Death From the Skies will be added to mega as a pdf? I'd like to flip through it before deciding if I want to buy it.

Also does anyone know when we'll have pdfs of the four AoS Grand Alliance books as pdfs?

>>47232588
It'd be seeker. The Barracuda isn't a superheavy

>>47232592
>the new Flyer supplement Death From the Skies will be added to mega as a pdf?
When someone is shitty enough to buy it. Mostly everything has been leaked if you did your research though.

Wrong thread, though hopefully never.

>>47232592
There's a very nice, searchable PDF on the torrent websites.
https://kat.cr/warhammer-40k-death-from-the-skies-2016-t12572848.html

Skip or delete the epub version, unless that's really your bag.

>>47232464
Everything is supposed to be Air Superiority, Strafing Run, or Bomber now, right?

Which is the Barracuda?

>>47232645
Razorshark is an Attack flyer, Sunshark is a bomber. (The interceptor drones still have skyfire, though, and can even detach during the dogfight phase, so the sunshark is the best anti-fighter codex flier.)

Barracuda's fluff has always been air superiority, so I'm guessing it'll be a fighter.

>>47232464
>I'll just blow it up in this new phase while in reserves so it never even enters the game

>>47232464
Why must evert tau flyer be ugly

>>47232710
To sell more suits.

>>47232430
They're fine art lower costs, but sinking points into them doesn't work.
They make decent objective campers, reliable sources of pinning when you have an opponent that can effect, and can threaten monstrous creatures effectively. They just fall short when killing standard troops.

>>47232710
Every 40k flyer is ugly.

>>47232464
Is that gonna be a long barreled burst cannon or a heavy burst cannon?
Will those be cyclic ion rakers or just regular ion blasters?

>>47232728
See IA14 this summer to find out!

>>47232728
The one on the right of the nose looks suspiciously like an Ion Cannon.

>>47232739
Of course it's an ion cannon.
I'm talking about the ones on the wings

>>47232762
>You can't defend this

To you I suppose, but thankfully we don't play. It is a 3000point list and I am not sure if you play at that point level often but Pure Ravenwing starts to crumble a bit if you don't bring the pain first. It makes for great games with good fights.

>>47232771
Hope you're excited for a Tau vs Admech/RedScorpions Imperial Armour book.

>>47232835
More like Tau vs Red Scorpions vs Admech. Friggin team ditching toasters.

I play Tau, so I welcome any new stuff, but eventually there won't be any races left to play against. There's already no Orks, CSM, or Tyranids in my local tournament meta (one dude keeps bringing Dark Eldar though).

Can anyone think of any particular space marine chapters that are tied especially close to the Admech? I've got a chaos warband called "The Spiders from Mars" and I want to be able to specify what chapter they deserted from. I also want to start a loyalist army soon, and thats the obvious go-to.

>>47232861
Well, the fight is taking place on an old/abandoned forge world, so I don't think AdMech is bailing early this time.

>>47232895
Steel Confessors are the biggest ones.

>>47232895
Iron Hands are the big ones. Their successors and the schism chapter successor Sons of Medusa would also fit pretty well.

>>47232895
Iron Hands
Sons of Medusa
Steel Confessors (literally an official Ad Mech sanctioned chapter)
Storm Wardens
Aurora Chapter

>>47232924

>>47232905
Iron Hands are the obvious ones, didn't want to go there.

Steel Confessors seem pretty great though, reading up now. Cheers.

>>47232863
Any reason you bought Militia Training on the Hellhounds? Templates aren't affected by BS.

>>47232728
It's got 6 barrels, rather than 4, so if the profile already exists, it's going to be heavy and not long. That said, it'll need access to a nova reactor or a special rule to get the nova profile.

>>47232357
Just rip off the head and replace it with maybe a raptor or Warp talon champion head

Some converting later you could make him into a decent Fabius bile proxy, or a burning brand lord maybe. Or just a cool champ, his backpack is worth using

>>47232985
Bloody Handed Reaver makes you take it on anything that can take it. It's a tax.

>>47233003
Fair enough.

>>47232993
8 S6 shots is already pretty good. Even AV12 flyers will have to watch out from getting glanced to death.

What do you guys think of the Tech Priest Dominus? Are they good units, do they feel like a tax? In my experience they have been a solid unit, but others I've talked to have said they really suck.

>>47233025
Honestly considering how much firepower it unlocks in the Vet squads (basically 4 special weapons) I can live with the tax, though I wish the command squad and Disciples could take the Grenadier upgrade too.

I wonder if GW is gonna update FMC with aerial assaults.

So the Tau hold the Damocles Gulf now?

Does that mean Iron Snakes are retconned?

Tau still hold many worlds of in the gulf, and still have a large force there. However, the Damocles Gulf is cut off from the main Tau septs and Tau worlds and forces there will have to be self reliant for the forseeable future.

>>47233151

IG riot shields when?

>>47233072
Iron Snakes have a Damocles squad, but that seems to have nothing at all to do with the Damocles Gulf. In fact, the chapter's homeworld isn't even in the same Segmentum.

The thing I don't get about DttS is that it describes Attack Fighters as being used against ground and air, but they have no benefit for attack air compaired to bombers or basically anything.

I can't figure out why they didn't give them -1bs when shooting air, or basically anything that would imply they are more anti-air than a bomber.

Nurgle is my go to guy but I think if you're going to sink the points into typhus then you need to go big or go home on the zombies and get at least 60-90. Have you considered running the FW guy that gives you even better zombies for cheaper? They move faster and have a 4+ FNP.

>>47233548

>>47233332
Its already stated that they are gonna port all non-volkite, non-battlebot units from 30k to 40k in that book.

>>47233197
Yes
T4 3+ 1w bodies means you still aren't very tough, especially against the sort of firepower a deathstar attracts
You will basically rely on lucky rolls to get psychic powers that provide durability (Endurance, Veil of Time, Invisibility)

Contrast that with other top tier deathstars (thunderwolves, bikes, etc)

So I don't really like running flyers. I have nothing against them personally, for I can usually ignore them or deal with them in certain ways with my army, but I just don't have a draw to run any flyers in my army.

So am I pretty much fucked now? As far as what I've seen with death fron the skies it is official and it adds rules like air superiority and shit like that. If my opponent brings flyers now am I just gong to kiss my fighting chance goodbye?

>>47233502
Anyone know where I can get stuff for the old campaigns, like backgrounds and results and stuff? Eye of Terror , Medusa, and some others, I think?

>>47233634
It also says if both plays disagree on using it that it is a roll off. Also you never said what your army was so no one can tell you how fucked you are.

You might want some more AA though.

Get an Aegis defense life with an Icarus Autocannon and a Comms Relay. The Autocannon can give more anti-air, and the comms relay will boost your reserve rolls by 1, which wither counteracts air superiority, or gives you a nice boost otherwise.

Against armies without flyers, its still a solid bunker area

Yes if you lose the roll off to use the rules and your opponent forces them upon you then you will get -1 Reserves.

Or

Don't play cunts.

At what point value should I consider bringing a Stormsurge? Note: I don't use Riptides.

What's the advantage in a Stormsurge over some Broadsides?

I'm considering getting into Orks or IG, infantry based stuff. Is there any sense in that at all? What kind of lists are people using, is SAD still a thing or just a sad thing?

>>47233754
Ideally never. If you really want to though, I'd say at 1500 points and up.

The Stormsruge is good because its very durable and puts out a lot of dangerous firepower, like AP 2 blasts and S D missiles. It can also do this while staying quite mobile.

It is ridiculous on every level.

Are mortars any good?
I'm thinking of giving my renegade command squad one for the heavy weapons upgrade.

>>47233772
>actually believes this

Enjoy your HP2.

>>47233680
It's -2 to your reserves, and +2 to theirs (putting you at an overall -4 disadvantage) if your opponent thought to bring 2 or more fliers and decided to use the Air Superiority Detachment.
Just bringing a Storm Wing Air Superiority detachment can put an opponent at a -4 reserve roll disadvantage when off the table. The whole thing can come in at once. And when it gets to the table, it gets wing leader/attack pattern bonuses, free strafing runs, an extra 15ish in to movement, and objective secured.

>>47233502

>>47233798
>there are people that want to use this shit in regular games

>>47233754
Stormsurge puts out a S10 AP1 template and gives you 4 S:D shots so they're more powerful than Broadsides and more useful at taking out heavy armor, and more durable, but they're missiles are only S5 so if you need S7 volume fire for skimmers or flyers the Stormsurge isn't your best choice. You will also need an abundance of markerlight support

Bring one in any points value below 2000 and you will be called a cheese mongrel.

>>47233796
Just trolling you, its gonna be 2hp like before.

The IG decurion-style detachment makes for a good infantry list if that's what you want. 180 guardsmen (or something) rerolling ones-to hit with stubborn.

The ork decurion gives a similar number, except instead of being shooty, they're more assaulty. (The IG decurion is better, though)

Stormsurges move 12" and shoot at as many targets as you want
Broadsides can only 6" and if they move they snapshot.

They do best when they're spammed. I'd say it's a good choice for a renegade command squad since they're in a supporting role anyway.

>>47233798
This shit worries me right here.

I was never one to complain when LoW became legal in regular games.

I was never one to complain when flyers became their own thing other than fast skimmers.

I was never one to complain when D spam became a thing

But this shit drives me bonkers.

Same here, hoepfully enough people feel the same and if sales are less than expected and its reviewed poorly then hopefully it dies.

If two people want to use it with their own ton of fliers thats their thing but my entire meta has come together and said fuck that shit.

>>47233896
It depends on who wants to use the thing in games and who has the flyers to really take advantage of the new stuff.

We will see how the ITC and the tournament scenes handle it. I am looking forward to the next ITC survey, because usually what I vote for most other people do too.

I am hoping something like if one player brought no flyers, then the rules are not used, period. If both players brought flyers, then a roll off could occur.

>>47233798

The wings and the two maneuvering fins are the worst part about the model, otherwise it's pretty cool, although I don't like how the turrets are placed.

>>47233530
There's a bunch of shit wrong with DftS. Not having flyers means you are at a reserves disadvatage. Sororitas and Admechs get battle brothers to help mitigate that, but Nids can only ally come-the-apocalypse.

FMC don't get anything (maybe a future update will give them Airborne assaults against flyers on the table/during dogfights, maybe.

Every flying, hovering transport in GW's range is Imperium, so without allies, Tau, Chaos, Crons, Orks, and Eldar Bros can't use half of the "Any Faction" aerial detachment.

There's even a section that determines where a flyer shot down in a dogfight crashes, but the "friendly territory" and "Enemy territory" rules read the same.

Hopefully this book is the last fuck-you from the old CEO's rule. It's got some neat concepts, but it's very quick and dirty when you look close.

>>47234157
In a way I can admire what GW is doing with it. When you don't continuously release new material for games, not just armies, but new ways to play and such, the game can go stale and the player base can become stagnant. Getting new material like this all the time helps to revitalize and keeps gameplay interesting so it seems like an evolving game instead of the same game you were playing last year.

But I do not like this and think it's way too skewed toward bullshit.

>>47234157
>>47234209
I was initially excited, since I thought it would be a thing to help make dogfights on the table more exciting, by letting each plane get hits in on the other and generally make air combat more dynamic.

Instead it just forces you to buy a bunch more flyers if you want to win rock paper scissors to not have your burrowing or teleporting units threatened by planes somehow.

>>47234009
If you're playing with dogfights
1) It's once per game turn, so it's Dogfight 1 -> Player 1 turn 1-> Player 2 turn 1 -> Dogfight 2.

2) The subphases don't happen all the time. If only one player wants it, there's a roll off.

3) it's one model each (Unless Sunshark w interceptor drones).

It can go pretty quick, and if those fliers were on the table you'd be moving them and shooting with them anyway.

It doesn't add THAT much time, especially once you know what's going on.

>>47233798
only until the fliers come on the table, and they all have to come at once. and it takes 2 fliers, so that's a min of 200 pts kept in reserves.

so basically they can choose to keep your guys off the table as long as they are willing to keep their own fliers off the table, until turn 4.

The object secured is only for transports in hover mode. So it doesn't effect that many things.

>>47234140
Age of Sigmar has a page too.

>>47234288
Yeah, you lose the Reserves advantage by bringing them in, but that still gives you some board control.

>The object secured is only for transports in hover mode. So it doesn't effect that many things.

Without going to Forge World, that means that it can only be taken advantage of by the Imperium.

That Storm Wing Air Superiority detachment wasn't a joke. Off the table, it provides reserve control. On the table, it can scoot nearly 39-42in flat out depending on the pattern, attacking the whole way, to arrive over an objective that it can secure. And these are ground attack craft with transport capacity, so it can bring a deathstar if you got the points.

Controlling reserves and controlling objectives is game winning, for a faction that doesn't need the help.

>>47234416
It's obvious that there's a big-wig that's working behind the scenes to stop any form of development for sisters.

>>47234416
That's because they're a popular army, that is popular to make fun of.

Who places the flyer on the table before resolving crash and burn changes.

How cheesey are flyers at low points?

>>47234482
well the IG gets the obsec fliers, but looses access to skyfire on it's fliers.

Giving it some thought, going to +2/-2 on the reserve thing is pretty extreme. I was fine with the +1/-1, because while useful it's not a guarentee and using reserves is always a bit of a risk for when they'll come in. At 2 it's too close to a certainty.

The attack formations are interesting. Cool benefits but hard take a lot of work to pull off outside of the turn they arrive. agillity/pursuit is nice but okay. Most of the faction formations seem okay. And dogfighting phase doesn't seem that bad.

But the attack fighters loosing all AA capacity and the reserve effect on the detachment are a bit much. Though I do like that it's a detachment, so I will be able to catch at least one person trying to take it with and unbound list.
Because unbound is technically legal, but it means no detachments.

>>47234804
>AoS
laziness can mean only doing what you want to do, not just doing nothing. Not bothering with SoB isn't the same thing as malice against them
>orks
you really can. As others have pointed out, the internal balance in Orks is actually fine.
So all you need to do is not have the guy in charge of orcs talk to the guys in charge of other factions, have him work off of outdated and simplitic understandings of those factions.
Then have test it in a few casual games if at all.

>>47234885
The people who wrote the rules for Orks are the same ones who do rules for the other books. GW has one team for rules and another for fluff and has been running it that way since 6th.

>>47235059
Yeah.

S6 AP4 heavy 6 overcharged to S6 AP4 rending, gets hot.

Woo not good considering S6 isn't optimal for air to air. I don't even know if it will be able to overcharge, and even if it could it's a 2-3HP flyer. You don't wanna get hot or risk a failed charge.

>>47235043
Kind of my point really. The only Wolf Wolf fluff involving Sisters I know had them trying to keep the Sororitas from making planet fall after they killed an bunch of Ecclesiarchy ships with no warning.

Basically didn't want the Imperium finding their furry porn stash and tried to chase of women because of it.

In the Curse of Fenris book, it was mentioned that the Grey Knights (IIRC) watched the Sisters of Battle fight bravely back to to back against the daemons before the daemons overran them and butchered them.

That is a lie. The Wolves gave the Ecclesiarchy a warning. They ignored it.

Anyway, there is a novel featuring sisters and wolves working together.

>>47235166
IIRC the disciples cost 10pts each when increasing the squad. Same with the grenadiers. Check if you get more ppl for the same pts by using more squads.

Other than that, you have too many guns on fragile dudes. More dudes less guns.

The Warning :

>886.M41 THE ECCLESIARCHY COMES TO FENRIS

>A delegation of Ecclesiarchy officials approaches Fenris, intending to assess the Space Wolves after hearing rumours of their worship of false gods. Logan Grimnar refuses to meet their demands when they command him to open the gates of the Fang and undergo interrogation. Foolishly, the Ecclesiarchy decide to press the matter and when their envoy cruiser is destroyed trying to dock with the Fang the rest of the Ministorum officials retreat, finally realising the Great Wolf is not be trifled with. However, it is not a lesson learned, and almost a year later the Ecclesiarchy and three orders of the Adepta Sororitas attempt to enter Fenrisian space in force. The resultant war lasts for three weeks before the Ecclesiarchy decides to let sleeping dogs lie and withdraws its forces.

>>47235134
It'll also probably be a cheap default option in case you want to spend points on the other upgrades or guns.

>>47235382
As a Sisters player I assume they'll be heroically martyred to the last woman in a valiant last stand just so some fat old man in robes can evacuate the planet safely.

Do Orks have a single viable list left anymore?

>mfw the new Barracuda

Fuck I really don't like using or fighting flyers but that thing looks sweet

So from seeing the sort of anti-cheese guidelines in various threads, do I have this about right?

0-500 points is Skirmish level. It's the point where each player has their HQ, a few infantry squads, and then some spare points for transports, a tank, or some other special units.

500-1000 is the battle level, where you start having more room for tanks and special weapons to counteract them. Armor heavy lists are possible to deal with, though you'll still only see one of the larger MCs or Vehicles like Land Raiders.

1000-1500 is Flyer level, where air units start really coming into play. While 1 might have shown up on the previous level, they'll be more frequent and numerous here. Its also where anti-air options start becoming key.

1500-2000 is Lord of War level, where you should begin seeing somr of the smaller superheavies like Knights, as well as more dedicated squads to taking them out. Typically this will still only be one per army.

2000+ is apocalypse, where all bets are off and titans run free.

Going by this list, including something from a higher level at a lower one could be considered cheese. A Landraider at 500 points would be too much to deal with, while its more reasonable at 1000, and multiple can easily be taken higher, for example.

Is that about how it works out?

>>47235547

I prefer to take your battle level matches and multiply them.

2x Infantry platoon

Command Squad
-Loadout open

2 Infantry squads
-Loadout open

SW squad with 2 flamers & Demo Charge

20 Conscripts

Heavy Weapon squad
-Lascannons?

2 veteran squads for Lascannon sniping or something else

Infantry based list, this should give me a solid base of bodies with enough orders, booms and bodies to start working on expanding it. Does it make any sense or should I scrap it altogether?

>>47235441
I'm not even sure it should affect Outflankers, as they're typically sneaking around through cover.

It really should just be air units, drop-pods, and jump/jet pack stuff that drops in.

>>47235581
>>47235847
there are LoW and there are LoW. I'm not trying to be a dick here, some things got moved into LoW that used to be HQ.
While I don't mind those things being in LoW slots per say, I do argue they should be excempt form most 'no LoW' rulings. Things like character chapter masters, the Necron Stormlord, avatar of khaine. Or basically things under 200 points and not GC or superheavy.

>>47235958
Problem there is you have shit like warp talons which just pop into the fight. I assume warp spiders do something similar

>>47235654
>>47235723
>>47235847
Fair enough. I'm sure there are outliers, but I think its a decent guideline for the sort of things that are fair to bring. Main place I'd say. Probably should change the Flyer level to be only one just like how the other 3 are with Tanks, heavy tanks, and LoW.

>>47235981
True. I had just meant to refer to superheavies and the like with that. Really expensive character Lords of War like that I'd put in Battle level like a Land raider. Not the sort of thing to see at 500 points, but fine at 1000

>>47235994
ZM rules. And personally I think normal reserves and outflankers should be affected. Controling the air would mean they'd be restricted in how they can move so as not to be spotted and shot at on the way.

>>47236079

I just realized they could have stuck a High-yield missile pod on the front of the Razorshark.

Now that would be a fighter jet

>>47235581
> 2000+ points is Apocalypse
Fuck off nigger, my FLGS has 3000 as it's meta, where we actually manage to have reasonable games at that points level. The Horus Heresy group nearby has 6000(SINGLE CAD), as it's standard points level for a reasonable game.

Apocalypse doesn't start at 2k, it realistically only starts at 5k, when taking multiple lords of war is considered normal, and something the typical player can deal with. At 2k, you have to be list-tailoring to actually go toe to toe with superheavies.

>>47232863
>265pts
>squad fo 2t guardsmen
I think you need to trim those Renegade Vet squads.

>>47236289
I'll give you 2000 pts can work as a normal game, though it starts to get a little apocalypse.
At 3000+ though, you've either got a fair number of high points concentration units, have to start using larger tables, or start crowding the fuck out of things.
3000+ is where people start thinking of apoc. You can scale up to majorly apoc, but 3000+ is where people start going 'anything goes'.

>>47235823
Basically lurk and play the game. A lot of them are Codex specific, like Suits are referring to the Tau elite choice Crisis Suits and a GUO is a Daemon HQ character the Great Unclean One.

There isn't really a way to take apart this plastic cement, right?

Not reliably, you can try to wiggle it, but changes are the plastic will give before the bond.

Got a Razorback awhile back for 5bucks... it's a literal nightmare.

But always check the pictures / description if it comes with bits or ask.

I know it's a little too late now.

>>47236585
Because there is no "Inquisition" just a shitload of Inquisitors, each with their own agendas and allegiances.

If they were to commit the necessary forces and allies to seriously oppose the SW they'd be outmanoeuvred and powerless to resist opposing Inquisitors covert and overt action against their faction.

Massively hypothetical question, but what would happen if two Hive Fleets fought each other and spawned their own Swarmlords each? Would they have the same movements? Would they be locked in eternal combat?

This has been floating around in my head for longer than I'd like to admit.

>Even the DA are more loyal
In the original fluff for the First War of Armageddon there was no Inquisition, it was the Administratum who was at fault here. The Wolves didn't care for the guardsmen and cared more for the civilians and told the Administratum they should feel bad.

>>47234109
I also prefer the old model but the new one is much more in line with the Manta design which is cool I guess.

>>47236664
I think you're underestimating the power Inquisitors have. They hijack entire Fleets from crusades to go do their own thing.

There is infighting, but prestige maters a lot to. Being the guy who took down the Space Wolves would be a major laurel.

>>47236779

You can only spawn one Swarmlord at a time.

The hammer of the Emperor is what

>>47233502
Chaos players cheated with a bunch of fake results and GW had to pull the plug.

>>47236810
That's what is known for the most part, but like I said, its hypothetical.

>>47236779
Inter-hive fleet conflict wouldn't trigger the stress hormones required to summon the Swarmlord.

>>47236700
Ah, a new update, which was mentioned last night and then not posted. Do you have a changelog for these things, so I can track the differences? I will go ahead and update the page on the wiki for you.

>>47236796
of course doing that would require getting a lot of resources together, and another inquistor might decide to fuck with you so you can't get that prestige.
or because they need those things, or because they like the SW, or because they hate your face, etc etc.

>>47236779
I'd assuming that they both recieved a Swarmlord "template" and then added upgrades based on their own unique experiences, adapted based on what they've been fighting

So no, I personally don't think two Swarmlords from two different Hive Fleets would be a flawless mirror match

>>47236846

It would just be two identical and equally powerful swarmlords wouldn't it?

>>47231990
I was messing around to see if I could make a Dawn Blade list with my models and I came up with something weird. Any good? Bonding knife is implied for all units.

1415/1500

Core
>Retaliation Cadre
>Commander
Iridium, Multi-spectrum, Talisman of AM, VRT, Drone Controller
>Broadsides
3 missilesides with 3 missile drones. Commander with them.
>Riptide
HBC and Stim Injector. He and the crisis suits are the main anti-infantry.
>Crisis Suits
The required 3, in separate squads. All have 2 burst cannons, no wargear.

Auxiliary
>Ranged Support Cadre
>Broadsides
3 railsides in different squads, seeker missiles and Velocity Trackers
>Pathfinders
2 squads of 4 to keep their Stealth and Shrouded
1 squad of Shas'ui, 1 normal, 2 rail, and 1 ion with a grav drone and a shield drone in a Devilfish (with point-defense system)

I don't know what to do with my last 85 points. I could give skyfire to my missilesides and riptide but that seems like a waste.

>>47236872
Yeah, take a base Tyrant, stick the special boneswords and the Swarmlord conscience into it and bam, Instant Swarmlord.

>>47236868

If both fleets are hitting the other hard enough to trigger the Swarmlord, that means they're both equally matched. Assume Swarmlord has a power value of 10. Both fleets have a power of 100, and thus are at a standstill and require the power of the Swarmlord. 110 is the same as 110. Both sides are 100 + 10.

If one side were superior and was slowly winning, THEY WOULDN'T SUMMON THE SWARMLORD to begin with.

>>47236852
> 'Ere We Go! changed to +2 Initiative

>>47236796
>Being the guy who took down the Space Wolves would be a major laurel.
Which is why the other Inquisitors will do what they can to fuck them over.

SW friendly, Moderates, radicals, even ones that agree on principle.

Inquisitors have become as bad as the high lords on that account.

Memes aside,

The Space Wolves are one of most important champions of Imperium. Their chapter master Logan is the is a unifying figure that Space Marines and humans alike look up to as a paragon of legend.

This is why they were assigned with commanding the defence of the Cadian Gate in the Imperium's darkest of hours. No other soul in the galaxy can be trusted with leading the Imperials against Abaddon 13th Black Crusade other than Logan Grimnir.

So what is the worst session you've ever been a part of?
In terms of people getting mad as fuck

>>47236854
>>47236935
You have to consider that the SW are still one of the most respected and loved chapters of the galaxy, with Logan Grimnar considered one of the greatest heroes in the history of the Imperium

>>47236779
If the hive fleets have diverged enough to be fighting, there's a good chance their versions of the swarmlord would be different enough not to have a perfect mirror match.

>>47236926
>Power Choppa up to 17 pts
Why is it more expensive than the powersword?

Hell SW have a version with +1s on top and it still is just 15.

>>47236868
There is no "Template". The Swarmlord is one unique guy.

>>47236669
Well, two things. First, those aren't titan weapons. Those are the guns on the Tau's standard battle tank.

Second, as a Tau player, I hate the new giant robots, and wish they had just made a larger version of the hammerhead. Heavy Railguns have existed from forgeworld for a while. A Baneblade size Hammerhead with a twin-linked pair of those would be much more palatable to everyone instead of the Stomrsurge.

Do you guys think anyone would sperg out if I proxied a Nephilhim Jetfighter for a Stormhawk? The Stormhawk is just intolerably ugly and the Jetfighter looks way better.

So just curious, how would you WAAC this mini game my GW manager is running.

100 points of only "ground infantry." (meaning he'll say no to jump, jet, beasts etc.) minimum squad requirements are out the window, but no more than 3 squads.

It's capture the flag.

>>47235957
I'd say replace the Lascannons with Autocannons, save points that way, maybe add in a couple things with the extra points you'd have then.

>>47236974
I don't know if there are more rules (most likely there are, like at least AP3), but the SW have no weapon that makes them attack at higher initiative

>>47236908
I was going that a Swarmlord spawned during Ultramar, dedicated to fighting Space Marines would be adapted differently than say a Swarmlord of Octarius whose only been fighting Orks.

Both might start out the same, but their Hive Fleets Need of Swarmlord would different.

>>47236971
Exactly.

>>47236971
Since when have hive fleets ever worked together? Tyranids have some weird 100% energy conservation, so hive fleets randomly fight each other all the time and somehow come out as a single, larger, stronger hive fleet.

>>47237005
The i5 is from nob i3 +2 from Ere we Go.

Powa choppa is still just a power sword (unless that's been changed since lads revision too)

>>47237007
Swarmlord retains its adaptations each time it's spawned.

>>47236974
Because a 2-wound model they will attack at Initiative 5 will get 5 attacks on the charge with it at S5. It's better in the hands of a Nob than it is in any SPESS MEHRENE'S hands.

Red Choppa, Big Choppa, Power 'Amma, & 'Uge Choppa are all two-handed, which helped keep their prices low.

>>47237032
Valedor.

Swarms of Kraken and Leviathan initially fought against each other but gradually the hiveminds of both fleets started merging together. Eventually, the Tyranids infighting slowed and more efforts were directed at noming the Eldar.

>>47236998

33 conscripts

>>47237072

That just proves hive fleets fight each other by default.

>>47236999

Good point. What I'm actually trying to get at here is figuring out a configuration for 2 large infantry platoons that will serve as the core of my army. That would mean specia weapons, heavy weapons, conscripts and infantry squads. 2 Company commands on top of that and 2 commisars for the possible blobs/conscripts should give me enough orders and staying power to cover flanks/bring down big things. Any ideas on the loadout for this kind of platoons?

>>47236998
As many conscripts as you can. Have them tarpit the other team while other units grab the flag.

>>47235166

Also, quad launchers are fun.
