Warhammer 40k General

Posted in last thread as it died but looking for help with KDK against 4 tyrants at 2000.

For Kdk I usually bring a Gorepack and a juggerlord with some of the flesh hounds. Mostly running a Slaughter cult for sweet sweet blood but if I ally in Daemons I may need to run a CAD instead. Princes are expensive.

I am going to try and bring an allied Nurgle detachment with a Daemon Prince, Plaguebearers and five drones.

It's the ultimate WAAC purchase. Buying it costs you an enormous amount of money, self respect, time, energy, enthusiasm for the game, and, in the ultimate sacrifice, the win itself.

>>47738427
Because you have to counter those damn dirty Or is and their Game Breaking Battle Wagons.

Seriously do the people who come up with these bundles just not play the game?

How do you do a campaign? My group has attempted it a few times, but never really gotten into it. Any advise fa/tg/uys?

>>47738471

Limit the size of battles, number of elite/heavy/fast slots, and AV at the beginning. Escalate the game every few rounds.

>>47738482
OK, that's definitely where we went wrong. What about the structure? Is it best to have a map and people decide who they fight or do a narrative that leads to certain predetermined battles?

>>47738471
Introduce perma-death for characters. Have replacements be random mooks that survived previous missions.

Have battles impact future ones in other ways. If you capture an Orbital Array in the first match, then you can call an Orbital Strike at the start of the next match. In one match an objective is an actual model (say a Tau Ethereal). If the Tau capture him then they get a free Ethereal next match. If the enemy capture him then they interrogate him and get to see Tau's list for the next battle before they make their own.

>>47738548

Our campaign had no plot behind it, but the store owner did one for fantasy. He make it into something of a roleplaying game. Heroes had stats and special rules, died permanently and sometimes it was a good idea to retreat. There was also a map, and resources involved (agriculture, I think). I'd like to play one set in 40k.

Heavy Bolter: Cheap, decent rate of fire, good range.

Assault Cannon: Better in every way but range, rends.

Autocannon: ??? A point higher strength, but half the shots, loses rending. Better range, but pricey.

There is no role for one of these machine guns, and the low rate of fire makes it unfun from even a fluffy perspective because you take big machine guns to dakka.

god bless seraphim and their perfect holes for pegging their jumppacks on

>>47738837
An autocannon isn't a machinegun.

Thank you for keeping it alive, anon.

>>47738837
Heavy bolters really need to go up to at least 4 shots, 3 shots a turn just isn't very impressive anymore (a well-drilled guardsman can fire a lasgun that fast). But they're in so many codexes that they can really only be updated when they do the main rulebook, as after all the butthurt with dreadnought attack values I can't see them pulling a single-codex update again.

>>47738471
small forces gradually getting larger is a big one, hold some units back for surprises to break up the gameplay if it starts getting too samey.

maybe at first limit them to HQ + one regular foot troops squad, and they need to find crashed transports or stranded squads to get more troops.

it's kinda DoW2ish

>>47738879
>as after all the butthurt with dreadnought attack values I can't see them pulling a single-codex update again.
People that won't houserule all dreads to having four attacks (or more if they were originally dreads that had more than two) is scum that should be ostracized from the community. Just because GW is a bunch of incompetent retards doesn't mean the community has to be retarded.

What's up folks. I need a suggestion of more expert players.
I have this really, really really huge fetish for armored stuff, especially Dreadnoughts. And I really, really want to play something loyal.
So, what chapters among the loyal ones can satisfy my needs?

I already own a venerable dreadnought and a rhino/razorback.

>>47739045
Did you look in the Space Marine codex? If you had taken even the slightest modicum of personal initiative, you'd know the answer.

>>47738988

And yet I play pickup games mostly, which is the only reason I'm not playing the Dread Spam list I want to play.

>>47738416
Infernal tetrad from the new book would be your best bet, fight flying monster spam with a stronger flying monster spam.

To throw another idea out there to the inevitable iron hands suggestions you're going to get, do the robutts in pic related do anything for you? Just so you're not confused about the scale the chaps in the top left aren't infantry, they're around the size of tyranid warriors.

Now, teccccccchnically these aren't usable in 40k at the moment (they're 30k/horus heresy stuff) but (a) your local group may be cool with it anyway and (b) there's an imperial armour coming in the not-too distant future that should have 40k rules for them.

>>47738988
Fuck you buddy, you get your 4 attacks when Orks get a decent codex. You're always whining about muh dreads.
What if you where bs2?
What if you where ld7?
What if you had no invulnerable saves?
What if you only had a choice of power fist or nothing for your combat squads?

>>47739101
Eh I guess you're right. I had in mind the iron hands but I wanted to know if something else would be good, too. My knowledge in terms of lore isn't very extended. I initially approached 40k just for modelling reasons
>>47739223
>there's an imperial armour coming in the not-too distant future that should have 40k rules for them.
how do you know, and how soon?
and isn't pic related cult mechanicus? I also looked into them (and have some skitarii already), but the idea of brainless warriors doesn't go well with me. I like to chop people with mechanical stuff while shouting litanies, more than binary

>>47739227
Why not propose changes to your own army that would fix it in exhange? Were you retarded before you started playing Orks, or is there something about that faction that rots the mind? Christ, you could just grab Space Odin's codex.

Well, technically their mechanicum, the version of the mechanicus that was around during the great crusade and the HH. More fluff to come when the book appears.

But if emotionless lobotomised brains in robots don't do it for you, then whatevs. Although, in that case, Iron Hands probably aren't the best bet either, as they try to be as emotionless and mechanical in their thinking as possible.

>>47739399
This is true. I chose to mostly play AOS instead, where people bringing powerlists to pick-up games can't just say "but the rules say this is balanced", they actually have to bring a list their opponent is happy to face.

It is, or certainly vastly superior to Flyrant spam.

Ok, so all the players without the top armies stop playing the game.
Now what?
You just end up with 'fluffy' skyhammer mirror matches?

Four tyrants isn't even the most you can bring in 2000 points, four is a restrained amount but you're crying foul because the Nid player isn't just another easy win for you?

>>47739465
I don't know how they're doing in your area but all I ever hear from the local AoS players is how impossible the game is to balance and every single game they play is a one-sided stomp.
And how they can't agree if they should allow shooting in to combat or not.
And how they can't agree on rules for summoning.
And how X didn't let Y bring his best unit and beat him so X must be a WAAC faggot.
And how X insists on using bad units when he should just be bringing good units as putting bad units on the table wastes everyone's time when he doesn't have to anymore.
And how Y brings nothing but good units when he should at least have some core troop choices .
And...

Scorpions are probably the best thing I've seen in Eternal Crusade. I really hope they don't change that stealth, it's cleverly done as is.

I'm crying foul because the Nid player is fielding an incoherent mess to try to squeeze a "tournament standard" list out of a single unit of a bad codex.

Flyrant spam isn't playing Tyranids, it's playing Flyrants.

PvE agains the nids is planned to my knowledge. It just isn't in the early access yet.

what are some of the reasons CSM are considered to be underpowered or bad? ive heard it here a lot and i was looking at the units on the webstore and was wondering how they could be so much worse even though they look so cool[/spoiler/

>>47739796
Only 4 flyrants in 2k isn't flyrant spam, that'd be 7 or 8 flyrants in 2k.

>>47739845
Units are overpriced and ineffectual. In theory, they're chaos flavored space marines with a close combat focus. In practice, they're space marines with all the good stuff stripped away and no real way to get into close combat or even do particularly well if they get there.

Fledgling 3rd to 7th ed player here. Our LGS last night had a pack of Ratlings for $10 that seemed too good to pass up. While 10pts for a BS4 Sniper seems really nice Im not quite sure what to make of them. Anyone have first hand experience with or against them they'd be happy to share? Tips? Tricks?

>>47739845
To start with they're basically space marines but without any of the formations, war-gear or special rules that make space marines good.

They have their own special rules and equipment but it usually ends up not only worse than their loyalist equivalent but also tends to have some 'fun' random element like transports that have a one in six chance to eat their passengers.

Lastly, they're just way overcosted.

>>47739877

Two flyrants is borderline Flyrant spam, you could argue two are in the same area and only be a little shaky,

Once you start digging up a third HQ slot so you can take more flyrants, you've gone full retard flyrant spam.

Understand, I've not been criticising it on a power level basis, I'm saying it's a fucking stupid looking list that's basically wholesale given up on playing Tyranids whilst stubbornly sticking to the codex.

>>47739845

No ATSKNF for the same price.

>>47739910

ATSKNF is a bloody stupid rule, at least when only avaliable to one faction.

If it were avaliable to other units with similar morale and indoctrination it wouldn't be so bad, but as is it's roughly equivalent to just handing an entire faction fearless.

>>47739845

Units cost to much
Meh formations (if any)

I could try to find lore that sort of justifies the rules writers' choice of not giving CSM ATSKNF, but what would be the point? Just give them their own version of it and see what happens.

>>47739978

I'd actually argue that chaos marines should have superior morale rules, given that they have to deal with living in the fucking eye of terror. What's going to phase you after that?

The flying fuck are you talking about? I'm saying going out of your way to spam flyrants is *gasp* spamming flyrants.

If you use that second, third or eighteenth detachment to actually build a coherent army, more power to you.

>>47739900

would it be better if his list had 2 flygrants, 6 crones and a assload of gargoyles?

Having played Eldar for years I'm trying to get to grips with the fact that I've been playing them wrong, and my choices are either git gud or cry horribly at all the money I've wasted.

Question is I don't even know where to begin shaking of the shit habits I've picked up. Of all the bullshit in the game that has broken my will and lead me to this point it's my friends AdMech War Convocation, which apparently I should be walking all over according to the internet.

So where the fuck do I even begin?

>>47739992
how about the still suffer checks from getting shot to shit but ignore stuff that causes fear?

>>47740036

Massively, yes.

I mean, it sucks a bit to play against a wall of stuff you need to snap fire against, but that's a game design flaw, not a problem with building a themed list.

>>47739992
>>47739978
The reasoning is loyalist marines are conditioned to die without fear, while chaos marines know what waits for them when they die. A traitor marine isn't going to stick around for a losing fight. They're far too selfish.

A lack of ATSKNF isn't what holds chaos marines back. Icons and marks being significantly worse than chapter tactics is what holds them back. If they could buy USRs again it would also bring them some versatility, without turning them into loyalist marines+spikes like many chaos players seem to want.

I made a mod to the Chaos Battlescribe Catalogue, its availible for download here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/693656.page#8710646

Woot!

>>47739845
They're overpriced Marines without anything that makes Vanilla Marines good. They also have a close combat focus, but they have no reliable way of getting into combat, and are outshined by loyalist equivalents like Wulfen, TWC, or Death Company.Their unique units like Daemon Engines are also overcosted and ineffectual mostly due to Walker rules being shit, or for paying a bloated price for the Daemon special rule.

They also have no real formations to speak of. The formations released in the Black Legion and Crimson Slaughter updated supplements are bloated with tax for little benefit. They have nothing that can compare to Skyhammer, or Stormlance, or Librarius Conclave, or Wulfen Murderpacks, or Battle Company.

Its not all doom and gloom. They have decent FW support, however most of their really good FW options like Fire Raptors and Sicaran Tanks are things that they share with loyalists.

>>47738427
>"Sir, Vindicators arent selling well"
>"Bundle them together, add a WAAC slogan"

>>47740254
Oh, one other thing about FW to add insult to injury. Apparently someone at FW had the brilliant idea that Loyalists should get access to more 30k units than CSM, despite one of the major thematic elements of CSM being their use of old shitty outdated equipment.

Prepare for Loyalist Dreadclaws, Mastodons, Leviathans, and Dorito Dreadnaughts when IA 14 drops this Fall.

space marine tanks are ww1 tank inspired. huge metal boxes with massive treads that take up the entire side of the vehicle. rhino chassis, spartan chassis, land raider chassis. thats what defines a space marine tank.

it would be like them releasing 'mk9 power armor' and its just faggot ass master chief. that shit isnt a space marine, fuck off.

Machine spirit wasn't evil, just grew to love it's handlers more. Techmarine it likes dies, the thing starts acting up. So they dumped they after the Heresy as well as the dreadclaw. Wanna say my source on that is the war machines of Chaos IA.

I do see your point about the tank treads, but apart from that its built like a ceramite brick shit house, which seems pretty spacemarine to me.

honestly I think you're overreacting, it could have been worst, a LOT worst

>>47741131
its literally the fucking taurox. fw decided to make the tank that shouldve been a mega-spartan the size of a titan into a big taurox instead. it doesnt fit in the setting at all. thats the only thing in the setting it can compare to, the taurox. which is a universally hated model for being stupid as fuck and out of place.

it looks closer to an ork vehicle than something the imperium would use.

4 separate treads. it even has a similarly designed top. its literally just a tank version of taurox thats the size of a knight.

i mean just look at it and then look at a spartan or landraider, they both look way beefier.

>The Mastadon isn't Orky enough.
the retarded tread design looks orky and it has random guns sticking out everywhere.

if you painted it rust color and switch all of the guns for ork guns it might actually fit the setting. orks love stupid vehicles.

it shouldve looked like pic related, instead of a complete rip off of something from halo.

Exactly. Homebrew CSM should focus on a particular subset. Pick a warband or legion, and make rules that fit them. CSM is just too broad for a single codex to represent all of them.

Not that guy, and I can't give you four, but here's one. As an aside, this is easily one of my favorite bits of 40k fluff. It shows us CSM recruitment, it manages to show one faction besting the other without resorting to awful Sue-dom and jobbing, it shows what Chaos worship could look like to the layperson, and it's just got the over-the-top 40k vibe.

Another random example; Constantinus's rebellion was a system-wide insurrection that was started by the remnants of a single loyalist tactical squad going rogue. It wouldn't be difficult to imagine that they fought engagements that were a a single astartes backed up by renegade infantry.

>>47741471
If it's an homebrew it's fine. I thought you were saying they should get official rules.

>>47740936
Mostly this >>47741017

Skyhammer is probably the single most ridiculous, OP formation in the game. It essentially guarantees that you get to delete at least two enemy units before they get to shoot back, and there are a lot of units that, even if they can fight off some assault marines, will at least be tied up for a while.

>>47741484
That's actually a pretty nice piece of fluff.

do you realize that has nothing to do with the fact that space marine vehicles dont. it doesnt fit the setting.

its a fucking rip off of the halo elephant and they even named it the mastodon. the halokid who designed it should off himself, fucking idiots pushing shit from a completely different setting with completely different aesthetic into 40k for no reason.

>>47740947

Standard army list tends to be more vehicle heavy. Vypers, War Walkers and Falcons. Troops tend to be Bikes but sometimes Guardians and I usually have 1 unit of Dire Avengers. HQ is almost always a Farseer.

Sometimes I run the Aspect Host formation with Avengers, Dark Reapers and Swooping Hawks. I've not used Fire Dragons in a while I kind of phased them out.

Playstyle wise I probably play too offensively and run in too early. I'm trying to change that but I still struggle with missing key shots and losing units.

Frankly for CSM there should be a separation between more modern renegades and Long War veterans. 10000 years in the Eye and never ending fighting and craziness without going shotbox crazy is going to give you much more tactical insight and a general ability to stay alive than some "muh emperur, muh betrayed chapter" 5 years as a Chaos marine scrub.

thanks for the advice anon, I guess I'm building my wraithknight even though I didn't want to ever use it in actual games it's annoying me how insane the tryhammer waac list is at just destroying everyone in the flgs

So I made some custom codex catalogues for 40k with some of the rule updates I'd been posting about on dakka dakka.

You can find the thread and instructions on how to install them here

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/693656.page

or you can download them directly and install them yourself here

>>47742078
Yeah, I get you. DA have lots of cool toys of their own to play with without needing Cents.

And, like, if he wanted a hyper-competitive tourney list including stuff not in the DA codex, he can just play his DA as Codex: Space Marines with Iron Hands or White Scars Chapter Tactics or whatever and leave the jetbikes and whatnot at home

But I dunno, bending rules among friends is fine if everyone is on board. Does seem a bit entitled on his part though

The more I play 40k the more I realize that winning means nothing, and playing casually while having a social circle once a week is all its worth.

>>47741599

Could you like, post your actual list?

what the war walkers are carrying, what the vypers are carrying, who goes in what transport,

all I can say with the information you have given me is to take advantage of the scout rule on warwalkers, outflank the buggers first turn, this forces the opponent to either deploy all his powerful units in the centre or lose units to a turn one alpha strike from the WW

if you can make him castle up in the centre of his table edge he loses a lot of mobility, this should give you the ability to manoeuvre around him better.

your vypers are fragile but they are also killy, try running a double shuriken cannon loadout on them and get shots off on his vanguard squads, make sure to position them so they have a clear line of fire for his special weapon squads

the knights a problem, but the kataphron destroyers are a much bigger one, those bloody heavy grav guns will obliterate your army if given half the chance, give your war walkers double starcannons or double ML if you have the points for it and put them to work hunting the buggers

use the falcons to deal with his onager dunewalkers, then his knight because the guns on those things will hurt you a lot more than a knights pie plates

have your jetbikes on harrassment duty, make them fly around and hit whichever infantry squads are packing haywire while avoiding the ones packing plasma

and this may just be the Deldar in me talking but ignore objectives, you are more than fast enough to zoom across the board and seize or contest them at the end of turn 5 and he's gonna be too slow to capture more than 2 of them with the outfit he's running

you may also want to invest in one or two of the alt kits to fireprisms (shadowspinners?) to help soften up his infantry from afar, remember you wound on initiative not toughness!

now get out there and murder some techno-fetishists my backwards kinsman

>>47742450
I mean he's not wrong. Blood Angels could very easily be given their own chapter tactic/few characters and unique unit like the BT were.

>>47742495
I think ALL space marine chapters ought to be wrapped up in the same codex.

>>47742508
Show me on the doll where the Astartes touched you.

>>47742508
I dunno about that. Grey Knights, Dark Angels and Space Wolves are all very, very codex divergent. You can MAYBE make the argument for Dark Angels too (Though I don't think it'd be a good one), but definitely not for SW or GK.

>>47742056
So is there some reason that you're opposed to houseruling all dreadnoughts to 4 attacks, or is it just autism? SM dreadnought got the boost with no change in point value, why should other codexes be any different? It's not like it's some sort of thematic or fluff concern.

>>47742495
Yea but itll jam a codex thats full to the brim with even more units and that clusterfuck no one will want to search for anything besides the most OP units

I could maybe see that happening if GW goes crazy and decides to add legion-specific units like pic related to the 40k chapters. Then you could have the main book, plus supplemental rules for every chapter. But even for a company as fond of money as GW this seems like a stretch.

>>47742028
Sternguard are first company vets. Dark Angels have their own first company units.

If you can't see the difference between codexes having different units in them and codexes lagging behind each other with updated unit stats, you're too stupid to bother discussing this with.

>>47742508
Just do what 30k does, and have them all use the same book, with each of them getting 2-3 special units, chapter tactics, and characters.

>>47742495
The thing is Black Templars have only benefited from being in the SM codex, while Blood Angels are constantly shafted. His argument doesn't make much sense, besides him just wanting his super special, chapter only book.

I'm curious on why the 1st Founding chapters don't use their 30k special units.

>>47741852
Which Legion/warband are you working on in?
>inb4 full-retard-tier-all-of-them-response

>>47742508
Wolves, Grey Knights, and Dangles are different enough to at least warrant supplements. Granted, so are a lot of Chaos legions.

Supplements are a pretty good way to handle it, as you can introduce different rules or special wargear along with a handful of special units, while otherwise keeping the main book stuff.

>>47742544
Blood Angels Dark Angels weren't very divergent before their last codex. They had a couple of special units and rules and it was enough. But it's too late now, they have too many snowflakes to be rolled in the main codex.

>>47742548
Perhaps he's opposed to it because it's not what the rules say?
If we're not playing just to win why do you NEED your dreadnoughts to have 4 attacks other than vanilla SM envy?

Honestly you just sound like a massive cunt for calling people dumbfucks and autists because they won't like you have your way, I'd rather not play games with at all.

>>47742627
the 30k special units are largely made up on the spot

Firedrakes are just what the Salamander first company is called in 40k. 30k turned that into a super special unique unit of terminators. The others don't even have that tangential link.

Is it possible to be competitive as Tau without becoming a cheeselord? I basically picked up the army on a whim to prevent someone else in my group from playing it (He's a WAAC, "live-with-my-parents-so-I-have-unlimited-disposable-income" tryhard that insists on having "uncounterable" lists) as the campaign we are running prohibits two players playing the same force.

And? 40k rules are shit. People should houserule more shit.

Even with four attacks, Dreads suck from a competitive standpoint. Upping them to four attacks makes them a somewhat viable unit for more casual games.

Thank you murder cousin. I should have probably been more detailed with what I run. I chop and change equipment though.

Warwalkers are almost always Scatter Lasers, I usually go rate of fire. I should point out that my Admech friend loves Shroudpsalm and our play areas are cover heavy so he almost always has a 2+ save.

Vypers tend to either be double shuriken or packing a bright lance.

I have lots to choose from though. Including at least 2 full 10 man units of Harlequins and a Shadowseer and Solitare for allies. I could even call on Mon'keigh Space Wolves of which I also have a lot.

It's just picking off his models which troubles me.

I was thinking of trying a Battlehost formation with the Guardian Defenders with an Aspect Host, backed up with an allied Eldar CAD of Farseer Skyrunner and 2 units of Jetbikes. Guardians though, I mean free missile launchers yeah but still very frail.

I appreciate the advice though. I'll keep these in mind the next time I face him.

Why wouldn't the Hands still use these?

You do. Gal Vorbak is what Word Bears call Possessed Marines.

>>47742820
Not him, but posessed absolutely suck compared to Gal Vorbak.

Is the Imperial Guard fun? also is it good?

Picked up an Imperial Knight just to paint today. Intrigued now as to how a 40k force of Knights would work out. Viable without being considered a cock-mongler or pure pish or WAAC central, WAAC state, US of WAAC or other?

>>47742740
Don't run any units newer than their second codex and you can still have very versatile, diverse and powerful army lists.

Add in a Ghostkeel or riptide at 1000+ points is still you with one hand tied behind your back out-duelling your opponent quite often

>>47742852
Yes and yes.

The real question is do you like them?

>>47742783
>I don't think 2 extra attacks will break them.
Doubling their melee capability is a pretty big jump, especially given how absurdly easy it is to lock up dreadnoughts in melee for the entire game.

With a game as terribly balanced as 40k, how can you not think about unit effectiveness. Showing up to a game only to get shitstomped because GW is a pack of incompetent jackals sucks.

The only reason not to give Dreads 4 attacks is because you're a spergmadness that thinks GW's diarrhea-tier rules are sacred commandments handed down from the heavens.

>>47742872
I do. I'd love to play Death Korps army.

Statistically, 5 would still be better than 3 for the tradeoff?

>>47742866
It turns every game into rock-paper-scissors. Either the other guy brought enough anti-tank or not. Don't do it, at least not as a stand-alone army.

And before anyone says it, the "stand around on objectives and hope the other guy doesn't vortex stomp your entire army to death before the games ends"-game is retarded.

Would it be worth posting my SoB list or would it get ignored?

>>47742957
How's the formatting? Is there anything worth commenting on, or is a super-generic copy-pasted spam list?

>>47742820
>>47742844
Yeah. Possessed are worthless garbage outclassed by CCW-equipped basic CSM, where as Gal Vorbak are more akin to Wulfen.

>>47742878
Or maybe it's because I don't need to win to have fun? Being asked for a game of 40k is a social invitation, not a challenge, if you're playing to win you're missing the point.

I beat a fist of medusa strike force with my Ork commando army today and I'm pretty proud of it.
Normally it doesn't do very well but that just makes winning such a hard game so satisfying.
The only reason to give your dreadnoughts 4 attacks is to stop you throwing a tantrum about the other boys toys being better than yours as far as I see it, if random people are shitting all over your army then you need to find a new place to play.

Do you think thread-specific poster ID's would improve the board?

I say 5 because that means you need to kill 2 rather than 1 for the 25% panic test and makes them more likely to roll a 6 on their to-hit while still being cheap.

Just play a CAD instead of a formation. If you're playing 1850 then two Riptides is totally acceptable. Crisis suits are vastly underrated imho. Broadsides too.

You can still make a powerful list using a CAD, and that really reflects good on your sportsmanship too. Forgoing the bonuses Tau formations offer in the spirit of sportsmanship would really come across as a bro-tier move. Especially since no one expects that from Tau players.

I'd still avoid Stormsurges though. They are just ridiculously powerful; unless your opponents are fielding 2+ Knights, or a Wraithknight.

Have fun man. I like Tau suits but have been steering clear of the army for a few years because obvious reasons.

>>47743020
Why would it?
We all you you're going to take the bait regardless.

If cover saves have got you down, then just grab some night spinners instead

high enough strength to ID his vanguard and rangers, a choice between template and barrage large blasts so you can ignore his cover, and it wounds on Initiative so it should hurt his kataphon destroyers

apart form that, i think theirs a divination psychic power which gives ignores cover, take a farseer, roll 3 times and hope for the power then stick him in with a squad of dark reapers and go to fucking town

If your going to get a guardian defenders core choice, stick with the shadow weavers on the vauls wrath platforms for even more long range pain

and get another squad of hawks to deck some assholes with cover ignoring plasma grenades

of course, if that doesn't help and you're not afraid of surrendering your "Integrity" for victory then I know a couple of haemonculi who offer a "killer" webway taxi service for those necromantic constructs you call wraithguard...

Emperor on earth those core formations are stupidly expensive.
Did they just completely forget the average price of the core choices for every other detachment like that. Good and bad.

The thing would be fine, if they just had options where the core options cost less than 750pts.

This is even more annoying than just being completely godawful, because it's so damn close to being okay.

Ciaphas Cain books are fun if you're looking for something less serious, but there are a number of in jokes, so if you don't know the lore it's not as good.

Eisenhorn is pretty good. I'd recommend the Dark Heresy Trilogy, but apparently they decided to not finish the trilogy. Despite the author still writing for black library, and Dark Heresy getting a second edition.

I can't speak to most others, as I don't like combat novels in general, so most 40k books bore me inherently.

What do you know? Hell froze over and for once we have an example of a wrong opinion. The Age of Apostasy shouldn't be touched by current BL with a pole the size of a battle barge.
