1st for the greater good tastes like chicken.

>>47804037
Its just really wide.

So, thinking of running a 5-man plain Spawn team to accompany my 5-man Cyclopia Cabal formation. Thousand Sons flavoured. 5 sorcs on bikes with a spell familiar and their pet spawn/test subjects lumbering alongside them acting like a group of Frankensteins and Igors.

Problem is I don't think it may be wise to mix and match a pure CC unit with a psyker unit that best stay at range. I'd be paying 150 points for the bodyguards and with no saves whatsoever it would be rather flimsy (though I will bank on Invisibility each turn if possible)

Unmarked Sorcs and Nurgle spawn is best obviously.
Spawn make useful wounds, make you fearless and are good anti-grav insurance as long as there are as many as there are psykers.

I don't like throwing all that crap into one unit though. Can't split them into 3-5 units with 1-2 spawn each?

>>47804136

It won't not live.

>>47804178
Don't think I can and I like the whole deathstar schtick. The formation itself is 3-5 Sorcs but I figured 5 would be pretty good considering they're so weak individually.

Can't use Nurgle as Thousand Sons. My autism is already piqued because I'm not marking my biker Sorcs but I know better. If I mark them, they need another level each to be useful. That's 200 points extra (125 for levels, 75 for marks)

How would my strategy be though? Just use spawn as extra wounds only or do I buff and slam them into CC?

>>47804219
Your call. If going biomancy, santic and invisibility then CC could be fun.
Shriek and charge and repeat.

Mix and match some force weapons and kill the fuck out of easyish targets.
Force applies to the whole squad with one casting, doesn't it?

Charge riptides all day with hammerhand force axes

I bought the start collecting Necron box

Is it plastic? What kind of glue for these models? Plastic cement?

Librarian Leviathan Dread with a force siege claw.

>>47804270
Citadel plastic glue. Its plastic models.

>>47804256
Santic makes it really easy to perils as non-GK, even with a spell familiar. Sorcs are already expensive and flimsy so I won't risk it. But I do plan to go a mix of Telepathy and Biomancy. Invisibility, Shriek, Smite with possible Life Leech keeping Spawn alive. Although I DO want to have at least 1 Invisibility. I might end up with all 5 going Telepathy, but Shriek ain't bad and since I'll be casting the formation power, it would be the Mindfuck Biker Gang.

And yeah, casting force once makes every weapon in the unit with that rule be ID. So I CAN actually have a pretty decently killy unit with both obscene weight of attacks AND strong ID attacks.

I want to start an army with the theme of "Mechs gon' give it to ya"

>>47804673
It states that only the Scions get the respawn into deepstrike rule

>>47804061
Run an R&H detachment to buy three units of their turbo-cheap Spawn. Also gives you access to cheap bodies for objectives.

>>47804668
Only one reason: range. The gun is a Leman Russ gun on a way better body, but then they gave is 24 inch range so it does nothing until it gets to melta range. Give it 72 inches or even 48 and it would be decent.

>>47804804
I would argue that the Ecclesiarch or the Master of the Administratum would be higher than the Fabricator General, but those two don't have power over tv remotes, computers, or guns like the head cogboy.

>>47804668
They got worse every single edition.

>>47804875
i wouldn't fuck with the clerk that holds all the check books or the space pope who would closest to the god emperor. i think if given a stateline the fabricator general could easily be worthy of lord of war like dante or calgar

>>47804875
Without the Ecclesiarch, there would be no manpower for wars.

Fabricator General, if he could somebody control every single Forge World, would then control the guns. Which would limit power.

Both require each other. Without manpower, the AdMech would run out of everything, resources, bases for robutts, etc. Without guns, Ecclesiarch can't do Wars of Faith or encourage people to sign up.

Most Space Marines can, in a fix, make their own shit. So can most planets. Lots of Forge Worlds would love to ignore the Fabricator General, so there is no terrible loss if it happened.

Both are powerful for different reasons, but neither could utterly destroy any form of resistance the Imperium could put up.

I argue the Navy leader is more important. Without resources, Mars dies. Without ships, no troops arrive where they're needed.

>>47804854
>identical to the unit that was destroyed
>models weapons and upgrades

It looks like the argument can be made that a dedicated transport could count as this, as part of the unit and a model of the unit. Probably right on only the scions, but I can see this getting an FAQ

>>47804947
I'm sure he would be a little more dangerous. He knows how to get your computer's machine spirit to tell him your internet history, and he's probably going to insult your taste in porn.
>>47804975
But the Navy gets ships from the Mechanicus.

So now that the start collecting MT formation has dropped how has it changed the way MT should be run? Has it made them viable to run as a mid to low tier army or should it just be considered a neat bonus to tack onto a list for some deep strike melta.

>>47805038
no. gank the commissar and butcher the men

>>47805038
Having respawning meh-soldiers doesn't really change much, closest might be spamming melta/plasma suicide squads that you aren't too bothered about losing and cramming your commisars into a bunker

>>47805003
Yeah but the ships already exist. We're assuming either one goes "nah we're not helping any more". The Navy would be the most hurtful to the Imperium, since most planets can produce small amounts of weapons and armour.

>>47805038
If their transports come back I think it makes them tier 1 honestly. Respawning valkeries and tauroxes is amazing power.

>>47804977
But its not an upgrade to the unit. Its a model in the formation.

>>47805083
But who's going to fix the ships when some nutcase Ork, CSM, or Eldar (if Battlefleet Gothic is to be believed) wants to play chicken?

>>47805105
Individual scion unit can buy them as well.

/tg/ I'm new to the hobby, friend wants to go in on a Dark Vengeance set where I would get the Dark Angels. This seems like a good point, but what should I buy after this? Bike spam seems fun, but I have absolutely no idea if it's actually effective. Most of my other friends play Space Marines if that matters.

>>47805167
It's the only effective use of Dark Angels.

>>47805167
Pick another chapter other then Dark Angels and be happy later on.

>>47805192
Blood Angels?

Can somebody remind me, did very very early 40k have novels which were much more adult? Lots more violence, sex and other things?

>>47805192
>>47805187
Should I just play Codex Space Marines and spam bikes that way, with White Scars? I'm not particularly attached to Dark Angels, but the idea of using lots of bikes is appealing to me.

>>47804975

Mars and Terra are essentially allied empires heavily wound together out of political necessity.

The fabricator general is the sole arbiter of the half-empire of Mars, and there is no equivalent on terra. Indeed, the fabricator general holds a seat on the council that terra has instead of a central leader.

>>47805133
Servitors?

>>47805245
White scars have the advantage of grav weapons, far more formations and more of a melee capable skillset for their bikers.

>>47805258
Yes dear, I know this. We're discussing who has most power in the event of who would hurt the Imperium the most if they quit the Imperium.

>>47805288
>>47805245

On the downside, they have a awful colour scheme both to paint and to look at.

>>47804147
>27 points
Seems balanced pretty well against the rest of the Eldar codex, honestly.

>>47805299
Short or long term, individual worlds or as a cohesive entity.

>>47805270
Just how many servitors are going to be needed when the game of chicken ends in 67% of the ship missing?

>>47805308
Plebius maximus.

I played two games with my Orks vs two different space marine players and tabled them both.

Why are Orks considered bad again?

>>47805308
Paint in a different colour and call them successors.

It's not that fucking hard.

>>47805344
Any colour would work better with white than red, except perhaps yellow and orange.

>>47805345
Post all 3 lists

>>47805345
Because ironically, the most Tryhard WAAC faggot the marine player goes, the less likely he is to win against Orks.

Grav is OP as shit, but against Orks paper armour, it is far less effective, so they pooled a fuckton of points into a gun that is pretty meh against the shit-tier orks, so suddenly, you actually have a pretty significant handicap on the Marine side.

You could simulate it by taking 20% more points than the opponent as well.

>>47805361
I said it was a downside, not an eternal absolute obstacle for play.

>>47805345
I know that feel.

Whooped both Thunderwolf + podspam, and Cursed earth+summon spam Demons with my boys.

Total casual lists done p in fifteen minutes after i rulles outta bed to do the game.

>>47804856
What's this? Can you elaborate please? I've no clue where to even start with renegades and heretics. if it involves buying lots of minis, I'm out, I just want to run 5 spawn, not run a bunch of human infantry.,

I used csm last week from a friend and it was a relief that your units didn't die at the mere insinuation of shooting.

>>47805299
That's dumb, the answer is easy.

If the Emperor quits, there is no more warp travel, no more miracles, space marines begin to have civil wars, SOB have mass suicides, and everything slowly trickles back down to before the rise of the emperor.

>>47804037
I once used Dark Eldar against a friend using CSM. We were proxying our whole armies to test out the new ones before we purchased them.

Oh man did I loose bad. The worst part was when I charged my Lelith Hesperax into his HQ Psyker, I failed to do any wounds and then got one hit K0d.

What reason would a Titan Legion be allied with the Inquisition?

Does Ortan Cassius get +2 attacks tooL

>>47805842

What is a Titan Legion if not a slow, messy exterminatus?

>>47805842
Old favour, schola progenium classmates, blackmail, loads of reasons.

>>47805842
Not much. Maybe as token of debt paid to an inquisitor for retreaving an important STC from the Dark Mechanicus? And even then, I would only see maybe 1 titan being lent.

>>47805842

The Inquisition may request and or requisition any military forces of the Imperium if the situation is dire enough (though whether or not they consent to said requisition is another matter) up to and including Titans.

In fact, I believe Inquisitor Rex did so in the Siege of Vraks as the situation became dire with the arrival of Chaos Titans and Daemons.

So whats new in the Imperium then?

I'm about to buy a Start collecting for Tau , is it good ? I already have a pathfinder team and a Piranha

>>47804037
That an as a Sisters player I can safely say the niche Sisters have is killing Marines. Anything else can give them some trouble due to greater numbers (Orks, Nids, Guard), greater range (Gaurd, Tau, Orks) or being more resilent (Necrons).

Only things I don't have a good bit of practice with is Eldar so don't know about those pointy eared ponces, but since their xenos witches they've lost on a moral level anyways.

>>47806224
No houses own a legion. Every where in text the only titans deployed are owned by the admech or fallen to chaos.

>>47806445
Welp
75 bucks is 3 Crisis Suits
Start Collecting is 85 USD.
So for 10 bucks you get 10 Fire Warriors and an Ethereal.

It's one of the best SC available. Right up there with Skitarii and (imo) Militarum Tempestus.

A quick run through the loyal first founding chapters, except to make you work a little bit I've put a traitor one in there too, it's up to you to do some googling and work out which.

>Dark Angels
Secretive, more interested in chasing down traitors who used to be in their ranks than getting shit done. Have special terminator and bike divisions.

>White Scars
Space mongols, except they ride bikes instead of horses. Quite happy, "kill with a smile on your face" sort of thing. Don't like going slowly.

>Space Wolves
Theoretically space vikings, actually kind of wolf fuckers. Like naming everything after wolves, and riding the things, and howling.

>Imperial Fists
Pretty vanilla, specialise in siege warfare.

>Blood Angels
Space vampires, like getting up close and ripping and tearing, sometimes lose control to the beast within.

>Iron Hands
Like technology, dislike emotions. Replace as much of themselves with cybernetics as possible.

>Emperor's Children
Perfectionists, have the best swordsmen in any chapter, overconfidence can spill over into arrogance. Also like bling.

>Ultramarines
Space romans. As vanilla as space marines get, they literally wrote the book, and they stick to it.

>Salamanders
Like fire, use loads of flamer and melta weapons. Also like blacksmithing stuff. Care about normal humans more than other space marines.

>Raven Guard
Sneaky beakies. Like stealth, and jump packs, and the precise application of force. Dislike wasteful frontal assaults.

Ironically, I've never heard actual Chaos Space Marine players say that their codex is "the worst." That's only ever been people who shitpost online or people who play regular Space Marines.

Most CSM players (myself included) think it's a low-tier codex that can occasionally put out some mid-level builds.

They suck because they're an army that wants to stab you in the face with poisoned power-dildos but the game is more shooty focused and that makes them cry.

I can put together a solid list with some units. But the moment the custom detachments come out I fall short

>>47806861
I meant a specific kind of foe more than a codex count.

Sisters are basically Marines with no blast templates, no long range and a few more bodies on the table on average. Strangely I've found they (at least used to be before Grav now I don't know) were good at taking Marine armies apart despite the things that worked against them (namely blasts and range).

>>47806899
the FW legs and feet aren't anywhere near chunky enough. Also half tank half man machine is the greatest thing, and if you think otherwise you can get out of my warband.

Yes. Mediocre.

Because someone wanted to know how my remoras perform in thier first match (also my first ever non-beginner match) heres a 1000 pt battle rep, prepare to be disappointed

me - tau
Darkstrider
Ion accel + SMS riptide
6x stealth suits, one FB
6x breachers + devilfish
5x Rifle FW
2x remoras

Eldar
Farseer on bike
6x windriders
8x wraithguard with D-scythe and serpent
Wraithknight with glaive and shield

Turn 1
Wraithknight gets invisibility
Wraithknight walks forward and one shots my entire infiltrated stealth team
Serpent moves flat out close to my riptide and devilfish

I move my devilfish 6" behind the serpent, breachers get out with darkstrider, rolls really badly and only deals 1 pen to the serpent, immobilising it

Riptide fails nova charge, fails FNP, misses every shot against the side of the serpent

rifle FW does nothing to the wraithknight and get out of sight of the bikers

Turn 2 -
Serpent unloads 8 wraithguards, who then instantly kill my breacher team, warlord and devilfish

Wraightknight barely makes it into assault of the riptide, one shots him with 13 shots, failed 5 invuln saves for my 4 remaining hp, bikers move up

my remoras appear, get both markerlights on the now visible wraithknight but both seekers fail to wound, burst cannons do 3 wounds but all are saved, rifle FW do nothing vs wraithknight

I conceded after that, I did 1 wound in total and lost everything bar my remoras and 5 rifle FW

I believe the term "absolutely anal-ized" does not quite capture it

Alright. CSM CAD consisting of pimped out Biker Sorc with 5 Spawn and 2 MSU cultists. Then a Cyclopia Cabal with 5 pimped out biker sorcs and 5 spawn each.

6 tough mini deathstars shitting out invisibility, psychic shriek and taking over enemy creatures with the power. Enough wargear and options to pimp them all out to 1500 points (which wouldn't be much since it'd be just like.. 200 points leftover after bikes and spell familiars).

FUN? It'd certainly be cheap to make, what with spawn you can scratchbuild out of modelling clay or milliput.

Alternatively you could go KDK allied with a Cyclopia Cabal to be able to go full Cavalry. Can go 3 squads of Spawn (FA) and 3 squads of Bloodcrushers (Elite)

No it's not but it would further fuck with the style. 2 CADs and formation would mean 7 biker Sorcs and 6 FA slots. Plus they'd get retardedly expensive. 1 CAD and Cabal is the top you can go for 1500, then it's 2K territory and still unbalanced with a bunch of gormless cultists doing nothing.

I never got an interest in bikers and spawn as pure Thousand Sons but I dunno, the cabal really made me consider bikes and then spawn just seemed GOOD. Most probably they'd prove more effective than my beloved Terminators ever will but I'd be pretty sad seeing them get excluded.

So how isn't it mediocre when it dies to grav and isn't grav or psykers? Why would you take them over superior options? How are they even good nowadays? How shit at the game are you to think 45 points for T4 W1 3++ is good?

>>47808400
Also tactics change when your ride comes packing extra heavy weapons.

Can breachers be used to make a non-gunline Tau Army that isn't built around Crisis Suits?

>>47808347
Why not take 5 biker sorc for the formation
and put 2 lords with the cultists to make them fearless, or 2 termisorcers because termiarmor is cheap for a sorc? Or 1 sorc+ 5CSM in a rhino. Not as good, but at least the sorceror can use witchfire out of the fireport.

>>47808474
Wouldn't be a bad choice, but would still be kindof messing with the style. I mainly just wanted to make a small elite army of the mindfuck brigade and their tidal wave of spawn. Theme, if anything.

I'll try to see if i can incorporate that idea into my TS army though.

How would egyptian/TS-themed Spawn look like?

>>47808362

If they were any good, you'd think they'd show up at least once in the past two editions, over the span of 4 years, from the numerous space marines that have placed in the finals of a GT.

If only casual players take them, and they aren't up to snuff against actual competition and the toughest enemies, how are they anything but mediocre or worse? Why do SW put their TH/SS on Wulfen and TWC instead of TEQ?

Wraithguard

>>47808663

Only the Sword Wraith Knight does.

The other two variants either have a Sun Cannon or Wraith Cannons.

As long as no 6 is rolled on the D-Table, the Great Unclean One can, in theory, stride over to the Wraith Knight under cover of shrouded (Nurgle daemons get that don't they?) and start whacking away with Posion, AP2 and possible Iron Arm attacks.

>>47808663
Yeah but the GUO has biomancy and easy access to ID, it has an extra wound so unless it rolls a 6 it's harder to kill.

You're not going to find something that can really beat a wraith knight for less points than it costs. For 275 points you can get a d-thirster and hope it survives to strike or for 280 points you can get a blood thirster with skullreaver which allows it to make a few strength D attacks before the wraithknight can, I would say that's your best bets to take one down in close combat.

Do CSM Sorcs get+1A from having Force Weapons and Bolt Pistol or is that included in the profile? So 3 attacks or 4 on the charge?

>>47808738
They get an extra attack.

>>47808300
>Centurians and Razorbacks
it's centurions

also the codex has always been a living document distilled from the tactical acumen of the ages. The chapters and marines that view it as an immutable truth are explicitly doing it wrong.

>>47808699
They comb to ensure no defects unlike your Space Ghosts who assume there are none.

>>47808738

>>47808730

> Gargantuan creature

>>47808716
They have shrouded, T7 with W6.
190 points, level 1-3 psyker rolling off biomancy or nurgle.
They are S6 with 4+ poison and can buy an instant death sword for 20 points.

>>47808773
ID does D3 wounds. It's as good as the D.

>>47808751
>>47808771
Ont his note, I remember reading that you can get an extra attack for each CC weapon you have after the first, which is why those ork walkers get a bunch. Does this mean if you buy a Space Marine a CC relic and arm him with bolt pistol/chainsword, he'd get an extra +1 attack?

>>47808773
ID is useful because it denys them FnP and does D3 wounds with each attack.
Poison is useful because if you beat their toughness in close combat you get to reroll failed wounds.

>>47808795
That rule is only for walkers.
Other than the Ork deff dread I don't think any other walker actually makes use of it.

>>47808751
>>47808771
Thank you very much, both of you. That makes a Cabal with 5-man spawnguard quite a ferocious deathstar in CC doesn't it?

1 casting of force activates all the weapons they have. So you have 5 S4 HoW attacks, then 20 S4 ID attacks from Force and THEN you have 5-30 S5 attacks, which can be 4+ Poisoned.

Nevermind the fact you have 25 T5 wounds, move 12" a turn and have a pretty high chance to have invisibility on you every turn. It costs 650 points but fuck me that sounds rather nice.

>>47808795
Nope, one time bonus. Same reason you can't take a Techmarine with servo harness and lightning claws and get 6 power first attacks on the charge.

>>47808844
Chaos spawn? How are you getting them all in the same unit? Is it part of the formation? Sorry, I don't know CSM well.

>>47808883
Well no, but the formation is made up of 3-5 Sorcerors, which are ICs. You can form a unit of ICs together. And I'd be taking a CAD with my Thousand Sons as usual so I can bring along a unit of Spawn and join them together.

You can have as many ICs you want join a single squad, you just can't join multiple squads together.

>>47808300
you have to understand what the codex actually is. It is not a dogmatic book about warfare, or a strict organisation protocol.

The only reason the codex exists is so that marines from different chapters can fight together without having massive training beforehand. (Thats the reason, NATO partners often hold exercises involving many different nations). It has its roots in the fact that the SM legions were precisely that, 2 legions had a hard time fighting togther, as each had a very unique way of doing things. To be fair, they rarely needed to, and if they did, it was always on a lager scale.
With the legion broken down into far more chapters, each with its own fighting style and tradition, without some resemblence of a unified system companies from many chapters would never work together in a coherent way.

>>47808611

Leviathan dread.

Getting into assault? Nightmarish, but in theory if pulled off:

Two Melta, two heavy flamer and double HoW might pop a wound off if you're lucky, after that though,

Charges with +1 I, WS5 so roughly three to four hits,

Most of those should wound,

Any that are unsaved have a 50/50 chance of D3 extra wounds.

I'd estimate doing about 4-5 wounds. Imperfect, but if you've been shooting the bastard beforehand, then that oughta bring it down.

>>47808915
>>47808883
Sorry, just looked it up and saw Spawn come in units of 1-5. I thought it was 1-3.

>>47808915
How would all these ID attacks fare against a Riptide, Wraithknight or Imperial Knight?

bear in mind the possibility to cast something like Iron Arm too.

>>47809000
Riptide would get wrecked, Wraithknight would as well except it that has initiative and the D. S6 (with hammerhand) can't do anything against AV13.

>>47809000
Ripe tide or wraith knight? You need them to be Ap2 so axes or rolling iron arm is mandatory but it would generally wreck them pretty hard.

Imperial knight? Again, iron arm or go home but it would do well.

>>47808962

Melee Leviathans are such crazy glass cannons when fighting other superheavies/GCs it's hilarious.

>>47809061
How much initiative does the WK have? Cause with Warp Speed you can boost a dude to I7 (and give him 3 EXTRA ID attacks to boot).

What would be a good choice then if you're running this setup? Force swords at simple AP3, axes for S5/AP2 despite Unwieldy or S6 staves despite AP4? I'm of the opinion that beating an armour save is paramount since a 2 or 3+ will soak up too much damage.

>>47809000
You mean the force weapons?
Riptide cares only for force axes, as he has a 2+ armor save against the others. An axe only wounds on 5 (S5 against T6)

Wraithknight laughs as T8 means, you only wound on a 6 and gargantuan creature means he only looses D3 wounds from a ID hit.

Imperial knight is a walker with front armor 13. As a walker he is immune to ID. And no force weapon can penetrate the front armor anyway. They need fists or meltabombs.

Maybe if they get a strength upgrade through warlord traits, psy or similar they stand a chance.

Fuckin' 'ell so did I just discover a good CSM counter to WAAC cheese? Considering you can even possess both the Riptide and WK with the special power.

>>47805427

GW's new bundles with descriptions that are blatantly appealing to waac customers suggests that balance is never, ever coming.

>>47809136
Not really, you're relying heavily on a single expensive unit and discounting the rest of your opponents army.

>>47808770
The fool who must check over his work reaks of disconfidence.

>>47809176
They know what they're doing, and having fun with it.

>>47809136
No, because your deathstar won't make it across the table with a Riptide Wing on the other side, and won't score points while doing so.

>>47809136
The best thing you could do with bikersorcs is psy scream IMHO
Useless against imp knights, but the others will be hurt.
keep in mind unlike iron arm, its primaris so all of them get it

>>47809136
Haha, no. You will get shot to pieces by Tau or Eldar before you have a chance to execute your plan. Every other army will just beat you because you are paying high prices for underpowered units. Cabal is just a really shitty Lib Conclave. Spawn are good trapits or ablative wounds - but the meta is so far beyond the CSM book, you're just chasing a carrot.

>>47809136

No you stupid fuck, because Librarius Conclave is better in every way and is already played everywhere and doesn't auto-kill GCs in combat.

If you're still at the stage where you think melee is viable outside of being a superheavy/GC or a Wraith/TWC/Bike, you are still too new at this game to be theorycrafting.

>>47809186
Worth a shot. I would just use them as a general accompaniment to my army (finally can field an army of sorcerors as TS). If I could somehow guarantee Hammerhand, that'd be great. roll on 1 dice to cast makes perils impossible and Spell familiar gives me a re-roll. With force axes that makes Hammerhand really reliable and makes the entire unit S7.

I'm just theorizing about what trees I could roll on for powers. Sanctic's only saving grace for this build is Hammerhand.

>>47809176
keep in mind these bundles are shit. All of them

>>47809223
True enough, my mistake. My meta's fairly casual as the WAACfags hang out by themselves as they train for tourneys, so I might find good use for this for fun purposes still.

>>47809136
35 attacks, hitting on 3s
23 hits, wounding on 6s
3.8 wounding hits, saved on 5s
2.5 unsaved wounding hits, dealing d3 wound
5 wounds vs W6

WK lives.

>>47809397
Not too bad considering it was one charge. If the stomps are survived it could perhaps die.

quick question about invis. It says the TArGET of invis is affect, so does that mean it can only ever affect a single model?

>>47809397
You don't get FnP against ID hits.

>>47809320

They're still worth taking, but like everything CSM, it's an inferior version of the loyalist equivalent. I'd pick up Be'lakor too while you're at it. Great model, can be used as a winged DP, good rules, and the other psykers can act as batteries for him in the worst case scenario.

Rolled 73 (1d100)

Can i have 2 Combined Arms Detachment and use 2 lords of war and 2 fortifications?

>>47809765
Yes. If you find a point where taking 2 fortifications is worth the points, please tell me.

>>47809765
Yes. You can take as many detachments as you want.

>>47809838
Two macrocannons is pretty awesome, and artillery lists can make use of double void shield generators.

>>47809860
> 2 copies of a 535 point weapon
> 1070 points of fortifications
Really? You're calling that worth it? I can see the void shield generator, but having well over half your list in two models that can't even do anything without support just seems off.

whats the new chaos start collecting formations rules?

I know, it's insane. I never thought CSM would become the most ridiculously OP army ever in the history of wargaming.

GW really pulled out all the stops on this formation.

>>47810050
Wow. That's underwhelming.

>>47810088
Which makes it perfect for CSM.

>>47809881
>Really? You're calling that worth it?

New and bad players always say stupid shit is worth it. Like TH/SS Terminators.

>>47810129
TH/SS are better than lightning claws at least.

>>47809765
A Void Relay Network and an Imperial Strongpoint are the core of one of my favourite chaos lists.
It's fun having your Heldrakes start on the table with 3 void shields and a 4++ protecting them.
Bloodletters love for shooting the Quadguns and with an Aegis line and Promethium Pipes even the Cultists sometimes do something useful.

>>47809860
I've been told not to build fortresses with Marcocannnons at their heart surrounded by cheap troops.(apparently its not fun to play against)
I can only imagine the amount of butthurt two of them would cause.

What's your favorite Chapter/Legion

>>47810152
I don't think ANYONE'S stupid enough to claim LC termies are good.

Except Tyberos

>>47810404
Angels of Absolution and Blood Ravens for chapter.
Dark Angels and Imperial Fists for legion.

>>47809432
Scattershield is a 5+ invulnerable save.

>>47810152
>>47810425
At least you're throwing fewer points down the drain when they inevitably die without making it into combat.

Now THAT'S doing it wrong.

am i evil for using flesh hounds, karnak, culexus and callidus against grey knights? i mean, they're daemon hunters so i might as well pull out all the tricks and dirty deeds i can right?

What happened to warhammer battle though ? I got out my warhammer 40k models a few weeks ago, after leaving them in my closets for several years because of my studies.
I also have two Warhammer battles armies (Dwarves and Orks) so I tried to look up what happened since I left. I read the wiki (https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer:_Age_of_Sigmar) but it doesn't make any sense. How could there be only 4 factions and 4 pages of rules ?
Could anyone briefly explain what happened ?

>>47810930
How do you recommend I escape a Stormraven full of Terminators?

Real important question. The CSM codex says if a primary detachment contains Lord or Sorcerer with a certain mark, cults units are troops instead of elites. Does that mean in the entire army, or in that primary detachment ONLY?

I'm trying to find a way to use only 1 big squad of Rubrics by finding formatting loopholes in formations. I'm sick of paying 58 extra points for a dogshit Aspie Sorc and I can't afford to field extra points for a second troop choice.

Chosen of Abaddon covers my Sorc/Termies (make him Warlord and primary detachment), Cyclopia Cabal, Warpsmith/2 Forgefiends formation and finally an Allied Detachment with a DP, Rubric blob and Spawn. Is that legal?

>tfw no Black Dragon models

I want to make a slanesh traitor guard army.
Pink helmets, purple everything else.
Tanks a metalic purple, littered with pink triangles, slanesh symbols, sex symbols.
Comnisars would be a mix of pimps and busty girls.
Bad idea?

>>47811185
They don't tend to do that.
The raven hovers and they rush out, assaulting the same turn.

>>47811150
just the primary detatchment.
You don't want one big squad of TS anyway. Same models in two squads will give you more versatility (take 2 objectives instrad of one, engage 2 enemy units if they're smaller or fragile insteadof wasting all your shots over killing one)

>>47811064

People still plays fantasy, some say more than are playing the abortion that is Age of Sigmar, but that might just be a rumor, I know locally no one cares about AoS at least.

>>47810021
It's really just comical at this point. They appear to be purposely fucking CSM in the ass. The decision not to update to 7th, what was one of the worst books in 6th ed. The worst formations in the game, for arguably the worst army in the game. The worst start collecting box (CSM kit is how old?).

It's unforgivable to be honest. If I was a CSM player I would just move on to a different game.
