Played a practice game today with my 1850 points of Imperial Fists against my friend's aspect host Eldar. things I learned: don't skimp on armored Ceramite...or a squad of fire dragons will use a webway portal and fuck your Land Raider up. Also Sigismund is more durable than a Land Raider and can tank a ton of rending wounds.

I put the image as a spoiler because my guys are unpainted (just finished building yesterday) and I don't wanna offend people.

>>47510830
Siggy has his zealous crusader's spirit to empower him. The land raider needs to rethink its life choices now.

>>47510830

All those muhreens probably intimidate at first sight.

>>47510874
I wish Siggy could move at cruising speed and act as an assault vehicle. Then he'd be perfect.

>>47510900
I ended up making an armored column with a Land Raider and 2 Rhinos down the roadway, most of the enemy was in reserves so at least I looked awesome while getting rekt.

>>47511083
I asked him to not bring any wraith units, so instead he brought scatterbikes, fire dragons, and a bunch of deep striking dark eldar. next time I told him to bring his chaos space marines...I feel like the point of Sigismund + Friends is to get into melee, but battle focus, jetbikes, and warp spiders mean I'll never get there.

>>47511083
Hey, the Imperial Fists legion is a large and dangerous enough threat to force the Eldar of the Craftworlds and of Commoragh to fight alongside each other in the face of certain annihilation.

We never bothered training Sharkversors because the costs were too damn high.

So is the only way to get rad missiles to use destroyer squads? There's no right of war (death guard maybe) that unlocks them elsewhere? Had a look down the 1d4chan tactica, didn't spot anything, but thought it was worth asking just in case.

True. LACAL has been a little outdated since HH4, owing to Forgeworld still not really knowing for sure what they wanted 30k to be at that time (remember back on HH1 where the Reductor were going to be merely LoW options for the legiones astartes?).

As such, we'll have to wait for LACAL...2nd Edition, which I hope will solve stuff like 6E prices (40k dreads get cheaper lascannons. Cheaper everything, really), balance issues (Boxnoughts are obsolete), as well as put it in line with the future IA/SA redbook (48" laser destroyer)
I thought AdMech would bring all the rad, though.

Implacable advance Heavy support squads would be nice.
Unfortunately the recent Imperial-Army book was pretty lazy apparently - nothing changing for Solar Auxilia, the knights getting the gallant and warden and the Imp-militia Quad-mortar now only having Frag - they didnt even add new provenances or alternative Tercio units etc.

So its fairly likely all we'll see are the non-legion specific units released since, the changes in the erratas and not much else.

Scoring heavy squads for everyone would step on the DG toes to an extend, though I would be willing to allow it if they only scored outside their deployment zone (which IMO is what non-troop termies should have instead of blanket scoring to represent that use to attack points and not hold backfield objectives on their side) and had access to suspensor webs as an upgrade, so the only way to use them to score is to use them as aggressive support for your shock troops

>>47512207

Considering how in the new Legions book their are characters that still have 6th ed warlord traits boxed into their profiles I wouldn't hold my breathon huge updates, though a deep price cut on boaxnaughts and breachers would be appreciated

Besides that rule is arbitrary as hell. Beyond that I would rather see Magnus focus on quality over quantity, he can't cast that many powers but the powers he can cast are exceedingly good.

Hi RG Bro

>>47514486
Papa Sang sees me playing Freak Fortress mode.

So here's my idea for Xenocide Blackshield Outlanders:

After proving themselves more than competent at eliminating xenos threats in the mid-Great Crusade, the War-born's VIIth Purgation Company was dispatched to evaluate the threat of a hitherto unknown xeno threat that was said to be lurking on the very fringes of the galaxy by various corroborated reports from Rogue Trader and Explorator fleet expeditions. The exact nature of these xenos was unknown, but the first hand reports indicated that they regularly took the form of hexapodal swarm-based entities, with an affinity for the consumption of their enemy's flesh, and in some of the more extravagant accounts, consumption of entire biospheres. Preparing for the worst the Purgation company arrived armed with as many phosphex munitions and volkite weapons as could be mustered for what was supposed to be simply a reconnaissance and possibly skirmish mission.

Called fool-hardy by comrades and overly cautious by commanding officers the apprehensive intuition of the VIIth proved correct as the foe's awful power was revealed to them shortly after their arrival in near-extragalactic space. Whole worlds that had been recorded as verdant and exploitable were barren rocks, left as little more than hollow husks of dust and empty echoes. Soon after receiving astropathic transmissions confirming even the most outlandish stories produced about the mystery aliens the VIIth Purgation Company disappears from the official record, and was eventually written off as missing in action. Here begins the stuff of legend, correlating the mysterious "Ashen Saviours" to the VIIth Purgation Company only through these coincidental factors linking them together.

1/2

>>47515031
Ayy sup Curzefag. I'll let this degeneracy go this time.

I was reading up on the Carcharadons this morning and now I'm convinced that pic related is how they came about. I'm not mad, the Carcharadons are fucking cool.

>>47515169
2/2
Firstly, the colouration of their armour; the colours of the War-born were storm grey with secondary gun-metal detailing, and the colouration of the Ashen Saviours seems to be somewhat similar, however their armour exhibits much wear, from bio-acid scarring to alchemical burns common upon legionnaires in Destroyer groups, as well as rusting upon metallic based components Secondly, an obsession with destroying an enemy members of the Ashen Saviours all seem to obsess over, colloquially known amongst themselves as the "Great Devourer", which may have related to the VIIth's original mission of xenocide, and subsequent obsession with eliminating this threat turning to mental degradation. Third and finally, an extreme, almost religious affinity for the cleansing power of phosphex and other energy based weapons such as flamer, or volkites. This would be very in line with captured member's intense obsession with "starving the great annihilator", if the biomass devouring swarms they were originally sent to investigate feed upon the flesh of their enemies as purported.

As noted above this is simple speculation and correlation by Imperial scribes and adepts who have collated discrepancies and losses of major assets during the past ages in order to attempt recovery.
-High Scribe-Adept Viktoriam Messula 845.M35

So essentially they saw Tyranids unholy hunger, were mindfucked, and now their warcry is"No flesh shall be spared!". They go about killing worldsso that the nids don't get them.

>>47514802
I put it into categories. My 40k folder is divided into three folders: Imperial, Traitor Legions and other Unassorted Chaos, and Xenos. The Emperor, Custodes, Sisters of Silence, AdMech, Sisters of Battle, Inquisition, civilians and Malcador all go into the Imperial folder. The IG/SA have their own folder which is dominated by Vostroyans. The marine folder is divided into the loyalist folder which consists of both Angels, Fists, Ultras, Sallies, Wolves, Scars, Hands, and Raven. Their successor chapters all go in their parent chapter's folder. Grey Knights and Blood Ravens do have their own folders, and the rest of the Loyalist folder is filled with other chapters and known loyalists from the HH.

I don't need to explain the Xeno folder. If it's not a Traitor Legion it doesn't go into a traitor legion folder, but daemons of the respective traitor legion's patron God goes into there.

As for non 40k pictures if I have a lot of it it does get its own folder, if not it just goes into my picture library. Which is at least 3000-10000 pics.

Thinking they will stat him as such,

still expecting LA rules to be something like this
- All Preators and Consuls may upgrade to max ML 2 (all consuls except Libby) or ML 3 (preator and Libby)
- Primary detachment must include atleast 1 psyker
- All units may harass warp charges on 4+ (this would make Ksons capable of unleashing a shittonne of Mind DAKKA)
- may not have more vehicles then infantry.

>>47515813

>>47521032
Should get you about 3000 points give or take. I honestly have no clue what the hell a Typhon costs so I guessed 500 points in my estimate. Either way it looks good except it has no effective AA, granted you could easily magnetize your dreads to make some mortis contemptors for AA. Beyond that my only advice is that rhinos die real easily in 30k and I would personally go for 3 units for 20 marines over 3 units of 10 and 1 unit of 20. Cheaper (pointwise) too.

Fantastic, cheers. The rhinos are mainly because I love the Deimos models. Also they get extra armour for free with hammer of Olympia.

I hear you on the anti air. Was considering arming the iron Havocs with missile launchers or something so they will be dedicated for it.

My only change beyond that is that apparently you can't have the siege breaker on his own as you need a praetor or primarch to unlock the rite of war. So I'll either switch him out for a warsmith or add in a praetor.

The end result is while the 1K sons are scary they will almost inevitably end up being an extremely small army as their powers are extremely expensive. Just fielding a single ML 3 praetor and two ML 3 librarians would cost you 455 points before wargear and that is just your HQ slots.

Seeing how their army is based around psykers forcing them to have psykers seems redundant and restrictive (what if your army was made up of the outcasts with no psychic potential). However Rites of War should almost certainly have limits like "must include at least one librarian" and "must have a combined ML of X (eg. 12)." So if you want to play 1K sons without psykers for fluff or I suppose challenge reasons you can, it will just be a lot harder as you are playing a legion with almost no advantages to you.

Isn't that the Delegatus specific RoW?

>>47521519

>>47521479
What my group has been testing is letting the Praetor, Delegatus and Librarian buy/upgrade to ML3 and regular Consuls to ML2. Sergeants can upgrade to ML1.

With the stipulation that the Warlord must be at least one ML higher than the rest of the army.

It's worked out pretty well. It imposes a natural limit at lower points and scales up nicely. Want ML1 sarges? Then you need to pony up for a ML2 HQ.

The points add up really damn fast.

>>47521706
Well, only the Ashen Claws.

Why not Cinder or Ember saviours?

Could alloe for some red elements on the armour like veteran markings.

>>47521777
Any special equipment?

>>47521777
Do you buy the Librarian consul and then the mastery levels or just the mastery?
Also maybe a nod to the TS low population the squads could cap 15 marines.

>>47521799
Sure, here's the whole thing.

Rules
Knowledge is Power:
- The Warlord must possess a higher Mastery Level than other Characters in the same Detachment.

Psychic Leadership:
- Preators are ML1 psykers by default and can buy an additional 2 Mastery Levels at 30 points each.
- Librarians can be Compulsory HQs, have ML1 by default and can buy an additional 2 Mastery Levels at 25 points each.
- Characters can buy a single Mastery Level for 25 points.

Psychic Potential:
- Characters who do not have a Mastery Level or Brotherhood of Psykers still add one Warp Charge to your total.

Equipment
Legion Wargear (Heqa Staff)
- Any psyker can replace a power or force weapon with a Heqa Staff for 10 points.
- Same stats as a one-handed force staff.
- Grants the wielder +1 to harnessing Warp Charges (3+ from 4+ in most circumstances).

Tutelary Companion:
- Upgrade for any Psyker, 5 points.
- When Perils is triggered you can choose to make a special save. On a 3+ the Perils is cancelled.
- If the save is failed you suffer the Perils and your opponent gets to target your power. The power is treated as if cast by the opponent for defining valid targets.

The staff is probably too strong when mixed with Psychic Potential.

>>47521854
In addition we trimmed down the discipline tables.

- Pavoni
P: Smite
1: Enfeeble
2: Life Leech
3: Endurance

- Corvidae
P: Prescience
1: Forewarning
2: Perfect Timing
3: Precognition

- Pyrae
P: Spontaneous Combustion
1: Fire Shield
2: Inferno
3: Molten Beam

- Raptora
P: Telekine Dome
1: Assail
2: Levitation
3: psychic Maelstrom

- Athanaean
P: Psychic Shriek
1: Dominate
2: Terrify
3: Mental Fortitude

>>47521854
>>47521888
That's pretty good, maybe if you're worried about the strength of the equipment restrict it to HQs?

>>47521912
>>47521909
Probably yeah, we just have not had a chance to play in the last two or so months, so no further tweaking of the rules.

To be honest I think it puts too much emphasis on the psychic aspect. Yeah that's their main schtick, but they are also precision experts and macro coordinators. I think other facets should be reflected in their rules. Or maybe that can be left to the Rites.

>>47521950
I reckon that their basic rules will buff psykers a bit then two RoWs, one which boosts psykers even more and one which enhances shooting.

>>47521950
I would say the main focus of the LA rules and RoW should be psychic in focus (perhaps one RoW is offensive psychic powers focus and the other is defensive psychic powers focus), however their other aspects should have some representation in their rules.

One idea to weaken them a bit is to include an Achilles heel that uses their own LA rules against them. For example EC are good at challenges and have to issue them but if they lose a challenge the unit suffers -1 leadership. One could use psychic powers against the Thousand Sons as part of an Achilles heel.

>>47513012
I wouldn't really say that it steps DG toes all that much; A universally available unit shouldn't be exclusively useful in two armies.
Though maybe they would more popular if some of the weapon upgrades they have were not so atrociously expensive by todays standards (Lascannon models effectively 40pts a piece does not represent their effectiveness against the heavy armour its supposed to be used against.)

How does this look?

Headhunter Leviathal

2k-ish

>>47522229
Not him, but maybe something like Thousand Sons have to use at least one more dice than the required Warp Charge to try and harness> For instance if the spell needs 1 WC to go off, they have to roll at least 2 dice, increasing the risk of Perils?

>>47522568
Or they have a chance on a perils of...turning.

>>47522308
>Lascannon models effectively 40pts a piece does not represent their effectiveness against the heavy armour its supposed to be used against
The prices of some of the weapon upgrades and options are outdated from 6E. Take Dreads, where their tl lascannons still cost what it used to cost in the 6e marine Codex, where now it costa 15pts for them. And HH1 was even worse, with Predator lascannon sponsons that costed a good portion of the cost of yet another Predator

also why no leanerians instead:chargers, +1 ws,stubbon and +1 attack on the serg is pretty damn nice

>>47522836
I'm not familiar with auxilia, did you infiltrate or outflank or something?

>>47523250
The termies barely fit in pointswise. They're mostly for outflanking and nuking something with combis.

Alph I think would start with the headhunters and operate openly for the tasty army wide preferred enemy.

>>47523450
The infernus tanks just kill every infantry unit they touch,its nasty as fuck.

Even more so against RG that rely on inflitration,thus being close and chameloine enhanced cover on which the infernus shits.

Fun, but nasty.

>>47523592
if points is your problem, then so is your primarch: at 2k points and below, unless you have a really clever plan (tm) then you should leave that point sink (1/5 of your army no less)at home. this is double true of someone like alphie, who brings buffs to the table that benefit most from a cohesive plan, where everything has a number of pre-defined roles and does them very well.

my advise: drop the big A and either but more anti-hoard type things, or buff up your existing squads

>>47523661
That's probably a better plan. Hard to fit the big guy in. Besides, all my guys are Alpharius so I'm not losing anything.

>>47514486

Yout guys, do what you want.

Cinder of Salvation sounds pretty grim.

So what's the general opinion of Blackshields, Marauders, and Pariah wargear?

Given Marauder's extreme flexibility I've been thinking of some different combinations:
>shotguns, laslocks and/or flamers with Pariah armour to run and gun into close combat
>using the Outlanders deployment rules (letting some of your infantry deep strike) and giving a group of Marauders lascutters and meltas then having them bum-rush vehicles

>>47525053
Given that there's already the Ashen Claws I think a change is good. And that does sound good too, especially considering the graveness of their task.

>>47525147
Cinder would imply it allready is lost, ember for something that could start again and fires of salvation night imply an ongoing battle.

I have no idea about pariah wargear though.

Their bolters seem ok-ish, as in shooting AND stealing the charge.
But the armour bit is a bit meh, depends on your meta.

If you only have vindicators or bolter fore then I say go for it.

It is a nice workaround if there is no middle ground in enemy weapon strength.

In general, your out landers should get close to the enemy anyway and you could invest the bolter points in special weapons or power weapons.

>>47525147
Suicide Outlanders are always a good idea, but don't take lascutters. They're just terrible.

I prefer breachers over marauders for blackshields, when combined with deathseekers you get sort of Iron Hands-lite

>>47525343
Iron Hands truly are the "Reeeeè!Fucking Traitors!"

My question is...I can't decide which is more important: Vexillas for the Sniper Vets or Armored Ceramite for the Land Raider. After having an Archon use a Webway Portal with Fire Dragons lighting my Land Raider the fuck up yesterday...I kinda regret not taking Armored Ceramite...but rerolling morale sounds pretty useful without ATSKNF

>>47525343

>>47525271
That symbology seems like it would work better, especially given that they are trying to save humanity ultimately

A neat arc with them could be made out of an Imperial Militia trying to stop their purging, and at first Imperial forces side with the militia until it's revealed that they are thoroughly genestealer cultists.

Quick, flamers or bolters in an autocannon Deredeo?

>>47526058
It don't matter

>>47526058
Bolters allow you to keep up with your other weapons slightly. If the enemy is close enough for the flamers to matter then your dread is likely dead next turn anyway.

So I have spent most of my memorial day painting up my 20 man squad of tacticals for my DG army. Have a quick question to everyone here though. I have been going back a forth on what color to paint their bolters. Should I go with the standard black for their bolter or the old school cherry red. I will admit that the red is what I am gravitating toward but I wanted to see what other would think.

Before anyone asks I know that they are a realy bright white in comparison to the usual DG color scheme but they are fluffed as being a chapter (within the legion) formed after Istavan and in brand newer gear. Only command and sergeants would be veterans.

>>47527137

>>47527150
I honestly didn't even think of that. I was going to be doing the majority of the backpack in the same green as the shoulder pads so I was planning on doing the bolter in something different to break it up.

>>47527264
I was expecting the backpack to be mostly similar to the rest.

I still think green's a good idea, but it's not my decision. Red and green are supposed to be complimentary colors, but it's really easy for them to end up looking like a christmas tree getup. Black is fairly neutral and still stands out from the white armour.

What superheavy should I get for my EC?

I was considering either a Glaive or a Knight Lancer

If I replace Vigilator's Power with Scout Armour to gain Move Through Cover and Infiltrate, and then buy him an Artificer Armout, does he still retain the special rules?
Since the Recon Sergeant does retain them, and both Breacher and Heavy Support Sergeants retain their hardened armour, there are precedents set for it, but maybe someone has emailed FW about this case.

Because I know we're wish listing here I might as well make the wishiest of lists

>Hail of fire gets moved to LA rules
>Havoks go to elite slot
>Sheathed in steal also lets vehicles buy siege plating
>Omni-scopes can be purchased by all sergeants/characters

I see the artillery restriction removal being tied to the Siege breaker/warsmith with some additional restriction, like only being able to take squadrons with a minimum of two tanks or requiring you to have more troops choices then artillery squadrons, meaning if you really want to invest in artillery you lock yourself into this shooty hoard army

and i really like the idea of more units being given omni-scopes, since most sergeants can take combi-weapons and havoks can take different heavy weapons per model you can make for very efficient shooting by using what would otherwise be overkill on a single target to cripple or pick off lighter/damaged units

Not really, Old Hundred were ultimately humans, just better trained, equipped, and more experienced. Solar Auxilia might be better as you can field nothing but Velatris and honour guards giving you army wide WS/BS 4 (or effectively anyway) as well as access to BS 4 volkite culverin leman russ tanks. Void hardened armour also helps.

Also that reminded me of a question, where the hell do tank commanders go for SA? Can I just drop them in a tank that is in a squadron? Can I put two or three tank commanders in the same squadron? 3 BS 5 preferred enemy volkite culverins with hull and pintle multilsers sounds pretty fucking brutal (30 BS 5 S 6 preferred enemy (infantry) shots within 36").

Legions had variation on the colours and you can always look up old art and find a scheme in there that you like. I painted my dudes based on an old Index Astarted image.

On top of legions you got Blackshields. Militia can also have power armoured dudes with the Survivors of the Dark Age provenance.

Contemptor with Multi-Melta or Kheres, or a Contemptor-Mortis if you get another Kheres through ebay/FW/friends

You can do light conversion work and/or use FW bits to change the Chaplain into another kind of Consul, change the Veterans into Tactical Support/Seekers/Heavy Support etc.

>And color-wise, am I limited to the legions?
People expect you to paint a scheme that's appropriate to the time period, but there are more variants than the main 18.
Dusk Raiders, Luna Wolves, War Hounds, Imperial Heralds are all early versions of respective Legions.
Blackshields are basically Marines saying "fuck this" during the heresy and breaking off from their original Legion to join the other side or become independents/renegades.
There are also variants within the Legions such as pic related.

>>47531447
>I have no clue what this means, sorry.
Blackshields are renegade Astartes, militia is an army list designed to represent any of the non-official imperium human armies out there during the horus heresy, provenances are special army rules that customise your forces providing new rules and allowing for different modelling options.

>>47531523
Huh, alright, I like the sound of that. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

>>47531524
Sounds interesting, honestly.

What books/codices would I need to check all them out? I'm probably going to get two, one for me and a friend who's also interested.

>>47531592
For milita look for Book 4, Blacksheilds are Book 6.

>>47531671
Alright, got it. What about the regular Space Marine Legions? Or are there seperate books for them?

I know now that there's Solar Auxilia, Mechanicum, Blackshields, Militia, and the Legions as the current armies for 30k, correct?

>>47531671
No, Book 4 is SA. Book five is Imperial Militia
>>47531729
Eeeaaaasy

>Legiones Astartes
LACAL
HH5 (additions)
HH6 (additions and DA, WS and BA)
Legion specifics: Adeptus Astartes Red book and HH6

>Blackshields
Same as LA, mostly HH6.

>Mechanicum
Taghmata Omnissiah red book

>Solar Auxilia
HH4

>Imperial Militia
HH5

Also, to play in 30k you need the 7E rulebook, plus the rules found in LACAL coupled with the expansion in HH4, or use the ones found in the Tagmata's red book.

:^)

>>47532011
>LACAL
Legiones Astartes something something something?

The 40k 7E BRB? I do have that, so I'm good there.

Thanks for the help mate!

>>47532119
I mean, you could get all of those books as pdf in your phone, you know. That way I can read any of them when I'm bored in the bus, instead of carrying 179649714kg of books with me.

But on the tabletop yeah, they could for not giving FW all your moneys for errata-ridden incomplete books.

Legiones Astartes Crusade Army List
It's the red book for SM Legions, red books being compilations of rules with no fluff/campaign stuff.
It's relatively old and soon to become outdated though, new version coming later this year.

>>47532226

I thought AODL was already out?

>>47532200
Ah, no, I have it on my phone as a pdf.

>>47532215
Kek.

>>47532226
Alright, got it mate! Good to know that there's a new one coming out soon, might as well wait for that one.

I just thought of a color scheme, though like you've said earlier I'd be expected to paint them in Legion colors, which is a shame. Might as well get started looking at the color schemes!

>>47532290
LACAL is for generic SM Legion stuff (and is old), LAAoDL is for Legion-specific stuff (and is new)

>>47532310

I thought AoDL is completely replacing CAL which is why CAL is being removed.

Why is Sigismund the best?

>>47532707
Because it literally took Abaddon 1000 years of training to beat him.

>>47532750
plus chaos buffs

>>47532690
Take a look inside the AoDL and you'll quickly realize that is not the case.

>>47532226
Did the new Age of Darkness book have any color pallets and fluff bits, or was it all just rules

>>47529697
Phil Kelly get the fuck out of here. Don't shit up 30k like you have with 40k.

>>47533162
There's the small amount of fluff in the side columns and within the rule descriptions, but not a single page devoted to anything but rules.

>>47514216
Personally I would like to see them screw the pouch and go with Mastery Level 12.

That way he doesn't even have to chose his powers he can simply choose two schools.

Make him WS/BS 5 and ~500 points though.

>>47527458
After thinking about it i think you are right. The green will work.

I do.

>>47532292
Hmmm... Right now, I'm leaning towards either Iron Hands, or Imperial fists, anyone know where I could find pics of alternate color schemes for them, like in >>47531523 pic?

So now that the FAQ removed the stupid Infiltrate limitation of the last FAQ (That characters with infiltrate cannot join units without infiltrate) effectively making the rule work as written in the BRB, what are some cool combos you can do with Scout armored Vigilators? Especially for those legions without easy access to infiltrate, Salamanders sneaking a MultiMelta squad sounds nasty or IW deploying a giant squad of robots right in your ass.

>>47534024
>now that the FAQ removed the stupid Infiltrate limitation of the last FAQ
Source?

>>47534210
NFILTRATE & SCOUT
Q: Does a unit that is embarked in a Scout vehicle count as having made a Scout move?
A: Yes.

Q: Are models with the Infiltrate special rule allowed to not use the rule to deploy and then charge normally in the first turn?
A: Yes.

Q: If a vehicle has Infiltrate, can you embark a unit inside it before deployment and then Infiltrate it onto the battlefield inside the vehicle?
A: No.

Q: Do Scout redeployments take place before or after the player going second is given the chance to Seize the Initiative?
A: After.

Q: Does deploying with Outflank count as moving for the purpose of shooting?
A: Yes.

Q: If you Infiltrate a unit of Pathfinders from a Ranged Support Cadre and then move them via their Scout special rule, does the unit count as having moved from their starting location?
A: Yes


Nothing about Infiltrate confering or not the rule from an IC to a unit or limiting its possibilities to join a unit, so we're back to what the rulebook says, an IC can confer the Infilitrate USR by joining it and we're back to that whole clusterfuck of whether you can infiltrate or not but thats so wishywashy imo that its best to just discuss it with your group. I mean if I missed something please correct me.

>>47534377
>implying those are new

How about you read the FAQ page on Independent Characters, you dingbat?

>>47533488
Oh. Me sad.
As long as the fix points costs I'll be happy

>>47534411
This one?

Q: Infiltrate rules state that an Independent Character without Infiltrate cannot join a squad of Infiltrators. Does this mean a squad that is actively Infiltrating or just any unit that has the Infiltrate rule? This matters for things like Outflank (granted freely by the Infiltrate rule) and Infiltrate units that have Deep Strike.
A: An Independent Character without the Infiltrate special rule cannot join a unit of Infiltrators during deployment, whether they are Infiltrating, Deep Striking, Outflanking or deploying normally. They are free to join units as they wish after deployment.

Because its the only thing I found on that page and its about characters that DONT have infiltrate joining a squad that does, so the opposite situation. Enlighten me please.

Can you guys post your 2k points lists you usually play? I don't really know any good place to find list ideas aside from here and BolterandChainsword....

>>47534024
>>47534457
ICs don't confer Infiltrate to units because they aren't part of the unit until deployment, at which point it's already too late to infiltrate.

Independent Characters, Joining and Leaving a Unit
>An Independent Character can begin the game already with a unit, either by being deployed in unit coherency with it or,
if the unit is in Reserve, by you informing your opponent of which unit it has joined.

Infiltrate
>Units that contain at least one model with this special rule are deployed last, after all other units (friend and foe) have
been deployed.

The order of operations becomes either:
>unit X has to deploy normally or enter reserves
>infiltrating IC has to deploy last
>infiltrating IC can deploy within coherency of unit X to join it, but at that point they're both already deployed and thus can't do any further infiltrating
or:
>unit X has to deploy normally or enter reserves
>IC decides not to infiltrate and joins the unit by deploying within coherency
>both units are deployed and thus can't do any further infiltrating

>>47529130
>we will forever *beep* with you

>>47533488
Is this one the 2.0 with adjusted costs for things like AMs? Or is it yet another compilation that will be outdated by the end of this year?

>>47535854
Age of Darkness Legions is the book with the legion-specific stuff. It doesn't have any of the core army stuff. The one you're thinking of, which will replace the LACAL, is the Age of Darkness Army List, which isn't confusingly named whatsoever.

>>47536223

I'm the loyalist NL dude, hence the clean crescent fresh look, last thing i did was some a lord and termi squad, busy with dark mech and Scoria atm.

How should a 2.5k DG list look? I have not played 30k yet. Do you have to take a spartan plus cc unit? How do you kill a spartan before it dumps its cc unit on you if you lack the same big cc unit?

I was thinking the HQ that gives tankhunter and 2 20 man rac squads with extra cc weapon plus attached apothacary as bubble wrap and deterrence. A missle launcher and volcite heavy weapons squad then just stuff to kill spartans for the rest.

>>47536834
Ooh, nice.

Somehow the NL players here seem the most productive.

As you are talking about Scoria..you put yours on that scarab dias.Right?

>>47536837
The guy that gives tank hunter, Siege Breaker, only does it to heavy weapon shooting, IE lascannons etc. That who? Or the Unique DG guy that knows Endurance? Because he loves to be in with some deathshroud or grave wardens.

YOu don't need a spartan, but if you want one grab the unique siege breaker you have and put him with termis of some sort. Cast endurance on them and profit.

I just ordered two laser-destroyer vindicators and three deimos rhinos.

Am I about to enter a world of resin hell?

Autek gives Preferrened Enemy to the Volkites and himself, then hops in the outflanking Land Raider to extend it to the plasma gunners. Castreman jumps in the Venator and does his thing to tanks. It does well against everything except aircraft, though bare in mind if I had my time again I'd give the Tactical Squad sergeants either Combi-Plasma or Power Fists in place of the weapons they have (which were just Rule of Cool).

Quite fun.

>>47540849
How would you use them? I was thinking of having a Nuncio Vox on the frontline with Templars and the Command Rhino hiding in my deployment zone so that my Terminators can deep strike without mishapping and I can draw line of sight via Nuncio Vox. Any other tricks I should try as Imperial Fists?

>>47527458
>>47527137
Usually Death Guard are ivory, green, and gold (trim). That’s already three colors, so red would be too much. That’s why the bolters are usually done in black. Take a look at 40k Deathwing Terminators – the ones with red look a little gaudy compared the ones without.

You don’t have to listen to me, of course, especially since you’re already brightening up the color scheme. If you go with red, look up a color wheel, match the shade of green to the wheel, and see which shade of red is opposite. If you use gold, it’s okay to pick a green between your green and the gold and see which red is opposite that. Then darken it to dull it down.

>>47540775
these tracks are some grade a bullshit

>>47540869
That's pretty much it.

1.Move into position, boost reserve.
2.Look for a good orbital bombardment target.
3.Disrupt enemy reserve.

Don't let anything important near it though. It's frail and an easy target.
