Battlereport:

>I kind of wanted to face him in Kill Team (and sort of asked him)
>knight guy budges in, essentially forces us to play him

I should have just said no but I went ahead anyway. God dammit. I even heard about this guy's knight list from other store-goers, but when I had first met him he was running KDK and seemed like a chill dude (still seems nice but...). Anyways:

>Other guy who I had met before comes up, looking concerned
>tells knight guy, "dude are you really gonna bring like 3 knights to a 1k point game"
>ends up lending me his 2 dreadknights because he felt bad
>game start, 3 knights on the table (two short ones and the tall guy)
>immediately shunt the two DKs over to the short knight in the back because reasons
>send a rhino with a plasma tac squad up the field a little
>DKs and knight shoot it out a little
>rhino takes a hit, -1 HP
>his knights advanced to take out my servo skulls

Next I did something really dumb. Being a noob, for some reason I thought you rolled for reserves all at once instead of by each unit. I rolled a 1 and kept all my melta scions in reserves. No one caught my mistake and I didn't realize it until my DK friend mentioned it later.

>DKs assault back knight, murderzone him
>Tall knight and little knight shoot up the Chimera (immobilized), Rhino (dies) and Taurox (dies)
>tall knight assaults DKs, begins dunking them
>luckily I had to leave for something and bailed out at that point

Fuckin A.
>>
>>47615738
>>he says 1850
Immediate warning bells go off when you hear this guys. 1850 is faggot tier points.

>knight guy budges in, essentially forces us to play him
No, man up and tell him to fuck off with his noise

>3 knights to a 1k point game
Please tell me you took this kid out back and beat his ass

> No one caught my mistake
Because not having your meltas shoot their knights is better for them. 100% if you rolled for them to arrive they would have mentioned you did it wrong
>>
>>47615843
Yeah. You're right. Looking back on it, I kind of thought I could take him since we'd houseruled that my 4 scion squads were all melta command squads.

But if I won, then we'd have a knight player claiming his army was underpowered because it got rekt by stormtroopers.

Spam Tanks and Riptides/Skyrays. The more missiles, the better. Also, all infantry formations are mechanized.

GW brick and mortars have terrible playerbases in my experience. If you have an flgs I'd suggest checking it out. I spent the first two years in the hobby going to a GW. Almost quit because I couldnt stand associating myself with a bunch of that guys. Luckily I decided to give the flgs a second chance - best decision I couldve made.

Oh yes there is. It's a newer 30k Knight that got resized. It's larger than the Supremacy Suit.

It's a 50/50 deal. Some do some don't. Depends on the Tau.

Feeling kind of dispirited today 40k general, drove for two hours today to seek out two different hobby shops to find a game and neither of them had any 40k community, just lots of MtG players.

three units of 6 destroyers
one each upgraded to a heavy destroyer

one unit of 3 heavy destroyers

It's netlist territory. Especially in the UK where our tourneys aren't played at that points level if someone comes in wanting to play 1850 is so they can thoughtlessly drop the FOTM list down and expect an easy win.

Most tourney groups (easily spotted by their house rules and an acronym name) play at that point value.
That means all the opponent is doing is playing at list literally printed from the internet from matches that give new meaning to WAAC faggots.
Rarely, it's the point value of a FLGS, but it's pretty much only that if they are tourney fags.
So basically, if you wanna play a game and your opponent says the point value should be 1850, look over what they are bringing. Even if you already agreed to play and are in the middle of setting up, if the faggot puts down infinite eldar bikes, wraithknights, grav spam or an invisible deathstar, decline the match.
If your opponent asks why, you can say the game isn't worth your time (because it will be literally 0 fun for you to get crushed) and/or you don't play against WAAC min maxed meta tourney lists for pickup games in the same why you don't punch yourself in the face for fun.

Also, we might summon the tourney fags and their houserule spouting by talking about this. Please ignore them, they are a plague and a cancer on the game.

>>47617041
You should play whatever everyone is comfortable with.
One guideline: More points means less min maxing can occur, because you have more points for more answers.
My FLGS standard is 2k, but that's just what we are used to. You wouldn't think 150 extra points means much, but considering that's basically another answer to something I might encounter, that's good.
Try out other points values, 2k is good, 2.5k, 3k as well. Then downgrade, try 1.5k and 1k. See which of the points values you guys enjoy more.
Odds are, you'll want more points for more toys. Just keep in mind too many points can make the game take too long.

1500 is the secret best point level.

2000 is for big games.

Say I want to try convince my friends to let me run corsairs occasionally, because according to them, they don't want to let me run it because Corsairs have a different perils table and their own Psyker powers, and that they "let you use the best of both armies" (actual quote referring to Craftworlds and Dark Eldar). Would I use the 2nd edition Doom of Mymera from the mega? Or is there a better scan that I can use because it might not come out good if I print pictures of pages. I want to print out the pages and make a physical "codex" for them to read on their own. Or what could I do to make them stop thinking that Corsairs are more broken than Craftworlds. Because I know the second I play with my DE, and get SLAUGHTERED, they'll be like "oh it's just the dice bro".

See, I don't even want legion rules. I just want a mid-tier army with fluffy, solid rules that don't leave my scratching my head and wondering what the fuck they were thinking. I want a way to be able to play fluffy word bearers, or thousand sons, or night lords, or red corsairs, or whomever. If they can do that without legion rules, whatever, more power to them.

Meanwhile, I still have no fucking clue why daemonic possession is something you'd pay points for, why mutilators are S&P, why Khorn Berserkers aren't any better than khorne marked CSM, why there's no deep strike mitigation in the army beyond the Key, and a host of other shit.

No, not that much blood. If you're shitting that much blood, even if it is haemorrhoids, they are substantially troublesome they need to be looked at.

You should not be shitting blood. Tearing you ass? That should be a few dabs on the paper. Not filling the bowel and making the water turn red.

If your bowel looks like that, even once, go get checked. If it happens lots of times, you could be in trouble. I'm not memeing or trying to scare you, but that isn't a normal amount of blood. Perhaps it is haemorrhoids, but I'd get checked. Paper? Yes. Bowel + Shit? No.

Yeah. They have proper machines and equipment. Dunno how they started. This is a 2nd hand board, I think it sold for £1000. So, $1450? It's 6x2 I think.

So, if you got ability, then you need to find some capital. Perhaps you can start small with terrain bits and bombs. My mother, when I was A LOT younger, built me a board and terrain for my CSM. It's fantastic. Too small for my collection now, but I prob wil never get rid o fit. She has always said she would love (if she was a lot younger and healthier) make terrain and boards for people as she loves doing that stuff.

So, if you enjoy it, do that. Start small, make a name, find some like minded people, or a guy/gal with some money and get going. Or join a pre-existing group and offer your abilities.

Didnt get a response before but oll try again.

To give an idea of the local meta. Common armies i come up against.
1. IG tank company with vendetta support
2. Black Templars with Land Raiders and a Warhound (?) Scout titan.
3. Tau with fire warrior spam and 2 riptides. Also lots of stealth suits and ghostkeel.
4. Eldar spamming wrath walker things.

List im working with.
Khan, techmarine.
3x 5 bikes with meltaguns, 1 atk bike multimelta.
2x fire raptor gunship


2 raven assault group formations with
5 sternguards and combi melta
Stormraven
Dreadnought

And either knight warden or 2 x xiphon interceptors.

I havent got the interceptors or knight yet. Dont know which would help most against the meta.

Advice is most welcome.

Poor statline for starters. WS4 is merely average and that's bad for a melee army, as is I2. Ld7 across the board and no easy access to Fearless means LD based abilities cripple them. Orks are one of the few armies in the game that really get hit hard by Fear. BS2 is very low but in theory is meant to be compensated by having heaps of shots. In practice however Ork weapons don't have high numbers of shots, which leads to the next problem:

Poor upgrade options. The game's iconic assault army has two melee weapon options. That's pathetic. No access to Power Weapons outside of Burnas that are only available to very restricted squads. "Aspekt Boyz" where certain weapons (Burnas, Deffgunz, Snazzgunz) are only available to specific squads. Many options are not worth the upgrade price either which leads to the next problem:

Overcosted. Most Ork units and upgrade options are overpriced for what they do. Exceptions exist (Mek Gunz) but every Ork unit has a critical weakness somewhere that can't be overcome (in the case of Mek Gunz, woeful Leadership and getting swept in assault by virtually anything, including Fire Warriors). Which leads to the next issue:

Poor special rules. Nids and CSM certainly have this too but Orks are especially punished. WAAAGH, one of the most iconic Ork rules, is locked behind have a Warboss as your Warlord, and, along with Ere We Go! does not affect vehicles or shooting, ruling out much of the codex.

reread his first post, he has a list with up wiht four flyers already.
>>47619645
Seems alright, but why the Techmarine? Doesnt Khan count as a chapter master for the Fire Raptors? And i suggest the Xiphons for everyone other than the Warhound, which i would introduce to the business end of the D-sword
>>

>Enough to take on a Warhound or Wraithknight spam

>>47619645
Check how much recasters are selling Thunderhawks for.
>>
>>47619880
Two fire raptors and two Xiphons are serious business. The Stormravens are forgettable, but six flyers can be really difficult to deal with. And its a good way to deal with spuky d ghosts, as long as he isnt doing the hemlock spam along with his wraiths. Also, thunderhawks are shit for their points

>>47619336
With all melta scions and fairly lucky deepstrikes, I think I might have been able to do it. Well, maybe against three normal knights. The Atrapos presented the issue of making all my shit -1 S and having D weapons (the other knights were shooty).

Also, I've played 3 games total aside from that one and none of them involved me fighting superheavies.

is a not-awful method of dealing with it, because the Warhound sucks in melee if you can catch it. Better than plinking away every turn, unless you have all six flyers do the ride of the valkyries into its rear on the same turn

>Just don't go full retard with formations and suits. Strong armies just require a bit of self control on the part of the player.
not who you were responding to but im looking at starting out with 40k as tau and im just wondering what you mean by that? are you saying that its easier to not go overboard with making expensive suits or something?
>>
>>47620069
formations are a semi-specific combination of units (usually) that give those units a handful of other buffs on top of whatever else they already get, in the case of the higher tier armies, (see: tau, eldar, etc.) you have the problem that the already good units suddenly become extremely good, and it's the player's duty to know when and when not to be a dick usually the player is a fucking dick and thats why he's playing a high tier army in the first place
>>
>>47620026
>Catching a walker that can run and shoot with one that can only run
>Catching a walker that can run twice the same turn if it has to
How exactly do you propose to do that? The first time you ever don't make it to a 7" tall LoS break, he will shoot you four times with his 4 S:D large blasts and deal an expected 11.33 points of damage to your Knight with 6 hull points.
>>
>>47619844
I didnt realise a chapter master was enough for relic of the armoury. In that case ill cut him.

Ill start with xiphons then, and get the warhound later to swap out. My only concern with 6 fliers is that it means the only troops on the board turn 1 are the bikers and then the rest requires reserves to come on.
>>
>>47620202
The real concern with lots of flyers is there limited movement. With a lot of models on the table, you will often find yourself with nowhere to go except off the table.
>>
>>47620169
I saw one caught by one of the melee only knights once which kicked its shit in, and it only got one of two D-blasts to stick which did 4 HP damage
Admittedly he did get a nine-inch charge

>>
>>47620122
isnt that the point of having formations? taking advantage of whatever buffs you can receive by taking certain units? ive never actually played a game against anyone other than a mate of mine who is getting me into 40k so is this some kind of etiquette thing to not go overboard with formations.
>>
>>47620122
I did a few 1000 pointer lists, for fun I don't play Tau or have Tau models, and went through a few with anons on here.

Would you consider this a 'dick' army?

HQ: Cadre Fireblade (60)
Troop: x5 Fire Warriors (45)
Troop: x5 Fire Warriors (45)
Heavy: Sky Ray Gunship (115)

Formation: Ranged Support Cadre
x4 Pathfinders (44)

x4 Pathfinders (44)
x3 Broadsides with HYMP (195)
x3 Broadsides with HYMP with Advanced Targeting Systems (204)

Total: 1000
>>
>>47620379
Some formations give more benefits than taking a set amount of units should give.
>>
>>47620274
And I've seen an Exorcist drop a Thunderhawk in one shot. Doesn't mean it's a situation that's ever going to happen again.
>>
>>47620380
i've never seen the ranged support cadre in action, but it doesnt look like fun to be up against
>>
>>47619329
Well it really depends on a few factors such as the player and the list build.

All the Tyranid players in my area sold their armies (they were welcomed additions to my swarm) because the 7th ed codex, but I've heard Orks and Dark Eldar have been struggling. All in all I'd have to say the Orks seem to struggle the most in my experiences.

Nothing like 300+ orks vs 500+ Tyranids though, good times

So what is "The Best" point limits?
For the bonus round, what's the best point limit for friendly and for tournys?

Personally 2k is reaching the point where it just takes too long for a reasonable fun game
>>
>>47620380
Take the Drone Net formation instead of the CAD.
>>
>>47620584
I like 1500 because War Convo just barely clocks in under that.
>>
>>47620584
1750 or 1850, although they're meme points. 1500 is okay, but it's frustrating because it's always not quite enough to do what you want to do. I'd personally prefer 1250 to 1500.
>>
>>47620584
1500. 2000 is good if you're both wanting to bring a superheavy in as most of them do clock in at around 500 points.
>>
>>47620584
if someone tries to play a pick-up game with you at 1850 be very weary, they might just be a tourneyfag trying to test out their netlist
>>
>>47620663
Why not just have a better list than their netlist? Or have a worse list and beat them anyway? I have an SoB army I usually end up playing at 1850 that rarely gets stomped, even by tier 1 armies.
>>
>>47620574
proper terrain is hard to come by at my flgs, the only players who really care about it here are other players using bottom tier armies since most of us don't have guns that can prop up and fire over buildings from across the table
>>
>>47620422
so formations are overpowered or unbalanced?
>>
>>47620723
They could be cool if factions got them in equal amounts and quality.
>>
>>47620723
Some are interesting and fluffy and make some weaker units more viable. Some just make you take shitloads of the best unit in your army, and then give you extra bonuses on top of that.
>>
>>47620696
then more power to you

>>47620723
like other anon said, some make weaker units more viable like the endless swarm or synaptic swarm for nids for example, and some take your favorite cookie cutter unit and make it incredibly powerful like the riptide wing
>>
>>47620802
would the solution to having massively powerful formations perhaps be introducing slightly more restrictive parameters as to their deployment or use in order to further specialise them without making them better across the board?
>>
>>47620696
the problem isn't that netlists are inherently powerful, rather that it's almost the same dilemma as playing against the same few people over and over: there's no variety and it gets old quick, even quicker when its a handful of people all playing the exact same list because its what did well at the LVO
>>
>>47620850
The issues with formations are almost entirely idiosyncratic to themselves. There are very few universal changes you could make that would improve upon where they are now. The real issue is stuff like Riptide Wing, wraith host, hell even the infernal tetrad can be a real downer.
>>
>>47620850
The solution is to just not make stupid formations like the Riptide Wing, Wraith Host, Librarius Conclave, and Skyhammer Annihilation Force. Battle Company and Stormlance should be among the very top tier of formations.
>>
>>47620850
i feel as if the massive power that comes with these formations is part and parcel with how undercosted/overpowered the units that are a part of them are themselves
>>
>>47620915
Some of it yeah.
>>
If i'm already taking three riptides give me one good reason why I shouldn't take them as a Riptide Wing, tip: you can't, there are literally no downsides.
>>
>>47621028
You're right, but since i wouldn't play you anyway for taking 3 Tides you lose nothing :^)
>>
>>47621053
Correct, this is why I don't play tau in the first place. It was merely a hypothetical redundant question.
>>
so when you're firing at units inside an open topped transport vehicle, do they get a cover save?
>>
>>47621233
you can't fire directly at units inside an open topped vehicle unless it is a template weapon with using No Escape USR
>>
>>47621268
so do i have the option of leaving my marines inside my drop pod when i deep strike?
>>

abby, a squad of terminators in a land raider to escort him

and two squads of fully decked out chosen with rhinos

should come close to 1850 points
>>
>>47621660
Huge waste of points.
>>
does anyone else paint or collect units without the intention of playing with them? ive got a tau army but im really tempted to just buy the space marine starter kit and the black templars chapter upgrade and then just assemble and paint them because they look awesome and id want that stuff on my desk to look at.

they don't get land raider redeemers but you don't need them. Just take four terminators and abby (base squad size is three), put them in a chaos land raider

I bought the Dark Vengence box set because i thought terminators and librarians looked sweet as fuck. I just learned about Grey Knights. Fuck man! Are they good? Do people play em? No one at the store I was at plays em.
>>
>>47622283
The Terminators and Librarians can be used for Grey Knights if you cover up their markings and shit, but that might be beyond your current skill level (assuming you've never touched the hobby before, plz no bully if I'm wrong, usually am ;_;).

As for Grey Knights, the problem is, they excelled when you could decide what model got wounded. Normally this is irrelevant, as 1 wound will kill pretty much every infantry unit in the game, but the Grey Knights had 2W Paladins. This meant you just gave 1 wound to each model, so nobody actually died without serious firepower on them. It allowed characters to get into combat as well. This was still fine in 5th edition due to various amazing things the Grey Knights had due to the Inquisition in the codex. Then 7th came and they lost all their best shit. +1S autocannon Dreads? Gone. +1S Redeemer/Crusader weapons? Gone. The one weapon which could threaten the 2+/5++ models, which were '''cheap''', Plasma? Well slap a Plasma Siphon down and watch them all kill themselves. Those got removed.

So, unfortunately, this means that the awesome Terminators and 2W Paladins are kinda useless. Having 2W is great if you have T6, hell T5 would do. But they have T4. This means a S8 AP2 shot will instant kill them, regardless of the 2W. Since S8+ AP2 is plentiful and many have Blast, it is just not worth taking 40+ point models which die just as easy as your 20 point models. Essentially, Grey Knights work, if you don't make use of their fluff. You have to run the Power Armoured dudes, Dreadknights and ally in Inquisition and other things.

They also suffer from Pre-Vanilla update, so their Dreads have 2A base instead of 4A. They also have no access to Grav Weapons, despite literally having their own private Forge World with access to apparently every single STC the Ad Mech have. Should have Grav and shit everywhere. They look great and they have no debuff for some psyker shit.
>>
>>47622283
They're okay. Should have stayed an ally faction.

Nowhere did I moan. I literally explained how GK's have changed. I explained that, despite being fluffed as X or Y, they cannot do X or Y. I explained that Terminators are expensive and are T4, meaning they die, one hit, regardless of their wounds. Which is why, surprise surprise, they're not great if you want to increase chances of winning.
>>
>>47622437
I'm the anon you replied to, thanks for telling me about them! So can they work with the power armored guys? I'd prob still throw a couple of terminators in there. That's why i got into 40k, the terminators. I like how theyre like, clunky robots that look more industrial and shit. It seems like they do terminators better then DA either way
>>
>>47622437
Yeah, I'm sure your interest in Grav is a purely academic fluff concern and not predicated on you wanting the most heinously overpower weapon type in the game.
>>
Are there any competitive Ork lists?

>>47622535
As a new player, the kind of mindset you have seems dumb (sorry). It's a game, you're trying to test your knowledge/skill/etc against the other person. A lot of people here seem to think if you try to win at all you're a douchebag "WAAC" guy. Why can't there be a middle ground man :(

If you sat down to play Chess but just sorta push the pieces around and don't really try to follow the same rules/win. It's just sort of a cheap experience and boring.
>>
>>47622548
I've heard spamming kilkannons on looted wagons (basically taking as many CADs as possible) can be surprisingly effective, but never tried it myself.

IA13's renegades and heretics list may be your best bet, given you don't have to fuck about with One Eye Open.
>>
>>47622556
You're an ignorant fool. That anon started playing when GK were OP as fuck and longs for that time. Now he wants Grav because it's the new OP shit. Playing to win is fine. Lamenting that your OP army is only okay now is shit.
>>
>>47622367
>You have to run power armored dudes.
This statement right here shows me you don't play grey knights. The best GK lists are just spamming terminators with dread knights and trying to overwelm the opponent's AP2 capabilities. Power armored GK die in droves and are too over costed for what they do. They may be fun and cool to use, but the effectiveness of a mixed grey knight list doesn't hold up to one consisting of all 2+ 5++ saves.

While what I said is true, keep in mind I still run power armored guys because they actually are fun, cool units that break the monotony, plus your opponent won't whine as much if he isn't facing all 2+ saves.
>>
>>47622591
>>47622535
I don't want GK's to be OP. I couldn't care less. I just want Terminators, all Terminators, to be worth it.

Oh and cool fact, I don't even play GK. I literally fucking explained why GK's are not as good as they used to be.

1. To explain how they are in game

and

2. To explain why nobody in his FLGS is playing GK

There, fucknut. You shitposting for (You)'s is pathetic, so have mine and fuck off.

>>47622457
The Terminators are neat, but they're just not as good as the fluff claims they are. If you can get a Paladin squad into combat, you'll likely win it if you're kitted out (and even then, with Force activation, you'll be more likely to kill).

I dunno if the old StormRaven + Draigo + 10 Man Paladin Squad (with Banner + Apothecary) is still a 'good' thing, but if you're just playing for fun, it shouldn't matter.
>>
>>47622591
what the fuck you smoking? the anon didn't 'long for that time' he explained why gks used to be popular and are now not popular. he went on to explain why the most important fact of gk's, that they have termy army, is made not great by the fact most armies have abundance of AP2 and S8+ weaponry, many with blasts.

he then went on to explain that the 'op weapon' you keep mentioning, isn't in the army, as it was prior to the vanilla update. he ltierally explained that it wasn't in there, so don't expect it, he didn't og

>wwaaah it isn't fair give gravs :(((

he went

>GK have an entire forge world to themselves, but they don't have gravs, so you can't use them

but hey, keep people out the hobby cause you're a jaded fuck who sees shit you want to see to get a faux confirmation bias
>>
I don't get all this GK terminator hate. Their best lists use terminators + dreadknights, not paladins, not power armored dudes. Taking a double CAD with 4 dreadknights and min terminators squads is the best mono-grey knight list you can get. Their power armored guys just aren't that useful (besides maybe purifiers against hordes) . Lots of misinformation in here.

The fact is that GK terminators are actually not that of a bad troop choice, fairly average. Better than tactical marines for sure especially when built into a deathstar. No one takes paladin death-stars anymore, as regular GK termistars with Draigo do it better.
