I just want you to know, that I skipped the fluff, but it looked nice at a glance. Also, I think it needs SPECIAL fire weapons that set them apart from all other factions fire weapons. Every faction in the entire game can take Flamers and Meltas in some form, but sisters are THE FIRE FACTION, PURIFY ALL OF THE UNCLEAN, THE HERETICS, AND THE WITCHES IN THE FIRES OF FAITH.

Give them shit like Assault 3 hand-flamers, Melta-BEAMS(Like, give them 9" S8 AP1 BEAM) for their transports. They need better flamer and melta options than all of the other factions. Also make their generic flamers and meltas have +1 strength, say it's a special rule along the lines of "Blessed Fire"

>>48083879
Give me a few 40,000 years in paint.

>>48083834
Also, you need options to turn your Cannones' into BEATSTICKS. Rosarius STANDARD. Options to take Artificer Armour, Storm Shields, big-ass banners.

Give them options to buy access to more Acts of Faith, so the canoness has options.

Reduce the cost of the Rhino to 35 points. a 6++ does not justify it costing 5 points more than other rhinos. There's also literally no reason you should ever take a Rhino if the repressor costs the same.

FOR FUCKS SAKES, REMOVE THE FUCKING "MIX WEAPONS" RESTRICTION ON PURGATION SQUADRON. CHANGE IT SO THAT YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE THAT CORRESPONDS TO YOUR SQUAD'S WEAPONS. IT'S SO FUCKING RETARDED, WHY?

>>48083900
+1S to Flamers is a good idea. I'll take it under consideration. Melta is already more than powerful enough with the pen table being what it is.

>>48083990
I might add a few more options to the Canoness, but I think her existing base and accessories point costs are fine.

I was planning to increase the transport capacity of the SoB Rhino to 12 to represent the much smaller size of human women compared to Space Marines. 40 points is a fair cost for 12 transport and 6++. The Repressor costs 75 points, as does the Immolator with its updated loadout.

I haven't done anything to Formations yet. I probably won't add any new ones, just fix the existing ones.

>>48083900
>>48083990
Also, I wanted to thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

Daily reminder that after the next IA book chaos won't have anything loyalists don't have a better version of.

Orks or crons?

If yes, crons.
If no, whichever you think is cooler.

Get with the program anon. There's lots of gamestores that are now outright banning the GW orks codex in favor of the Space 0Din fandex. It's not fun to table an ork player 28 times in a row. Fun is having a whole game of Push and Pull, where you have a fight on even footing with the orks. Where you charge orks and they die, then the orkbro charges stuff and your stuff dies.

No there's not. That would upset GW very much, and we could say goodbye to spaceodin and all fandexes, due to fears of lost profit. Or at the very least we'd see GW actually try and remedy the situation with the ork dex.

Absolutely nothing of either of those natures has happened, and so "lots of gamestores" are not doing that.

Crons are on a level with SM, Tau. Eldar are above all because it's CHALLENGING to build a balanced army, but with the others you at least have to try a little.

Daemons rely too much on luck to be above mid-high tier.

From a rules perspective sure. But that's not what we see in tournaments.

So were both right I guess. "Practical" vs "theoretical" as the 30k ultramarines would say

>>48084247
Additional fixes:
>Dominion Squad cost corrected to 65 pts
>Artificer Armor and Jump Pack added to Canoness equipment options (20 pts and 15 pts, respectively)
>Penitent Engine side armor reduced to 10, HP reduced to 2, points cost reduced to 60. This makes them more vulnerable to hull point depletion but less vulnerable to exploding and more dangerous in combat for the same points.

I'm currently debating best way to increase the strength of Flamers. Army-wide special rule? Faction-specific wargear? Special rule for Dominions and Seraphim?

A baneblade is now 240 points, how does it now fare against other SHVs

>>48084483
IT IS THE BEEEEEEEEHNBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEHDE

Does it keep generating points each turn after the turn it's generated?

AoFs for each unit that can take flamer equivalents
One to ignore armor, or force rerolls of successful saves. One to reroll to-wounds, maybe a Canoness with a flamer-equivalent can have an AoF causing ID with it

>>48085087
>AoFs for each unit that can take flamer equivalents
There's a Flamer in the Ranged Weapons, Special Weapons, and Heavy Weapons lists. Pretty sure there isn't a single unit that doesn't have access to any of those. Also, every vehicle other than the Rhino can take a flame weapon.

>>48085197
Not that guy but I love me some forging.

Tyranids are fighting (army) and oh shit, necrons awaken on the world for a three way. But their tomb is fucked up so they decide to use some techno magic to tame the Tyranids for their uses in place of more necrons. The nids, seeing that they can't consume the necrons anyways, don't really go after their new masters and instead just obey and mostly keep nomming dudes.

>>48085245
>Repentia

Four units. Maybe I should replace the optional Storm Bolter with a Flamer.

>>48085197
why though?
What if a canoptek swarm was found in the mines of Ghosar Quentis was acclimated into the hive mind, first tamed by the telpath Genestealers loyal to the swarm?

>Necrons quest for domination of the universe, but the tyranids aren't native to this universe
Cron's can't do much to the outside of the galaxy, and there's nothing but Nids and possibly Orks out there. The Crons only care about this galaxy.

>>48085305
You want to put at least 1 more mastery level on the librarian, or if you're going for sanctic take the liber daemonica relic instead as it costs the same but has the rerolling 1s ability.

Terminators need a psycannon for sure, but other than that you can skimp a little on them.

Purifiers aren't deepstriking so they should have a transport rhino and an incinerator for double the purification.

I think all that comes to 100 exactly.

>>48085311

Really now? Here I thought that I'd use too much black.

>>48085450
The strikeforce detachment doesn't.

>>48085331
That's just under 500, so it works I'd say. Does the Terminator with the Psycannon lose the nemesis force halberd, or can he have both?

>>48085404
As the other anon said I armed the Purifiers with falchions and incinerators. I don't think I'll have the cash for a transport Rhino this month, so is there another unit I can play the power armor Grey Knights as?

>>48085453
>I forgot if the lore was multi galaxy or multi universe
Nids are multi-galaxy eating anywhere from at least 12 to 1000 at the maximum. But you're right on the exclusive part.

>>48085472
Terminator can have both, the Power Armor guy only gets the heavy weapon. He's actually right though, you'll want a Rhino. Take Force Swords on the Purifier Squad and stick them in a Rhino, should come out to 500 points exactly. Proxy the Rhino until you can afford one.

I wish I had better access to Relic blades, I wanna kit my veterans out like knights.

>>48085472
Also, you could swap the Purifiers for Interceptors until you get a rhino, they're not as good as purifiers but they're better when you lack transport

>>48085498
So for the Rhino I just tack on 35 points to the Purifier squad?

>>48085472
You can swap out both the stormbolter and sword on the same model, but if you're not giving everyone halberds (and really, you don't need to) then it would be better to put the halberds on other models so you don't have all your eggs in one basket.

You could maybe proxy the purifiers as interceptors then for the mobility, a walking unit that wants to be close by the enemy units is really ineffective. Plus shunting 30" then putting templates down is always fun.

>>48085487
I could have sworn they were from an entirely separate universe and some how came through the warp.
Maybe it was just me being high, but I always thought it was cool if they didn't have to follow the chemical and physical laws of this universe.

On the topic of Grey Knights and Librarians, is there a Terminator Librarian mini that looks like a Grey Knight? Or do you have to just glue a book onto the back of a Terminator?

You can use one of the SM librarians and paint it leadbelcher or you can take a terminator/paladin and give it a bare head if you have a spare.

>>48083834
I'm going to hope that you love this army as much as I do. I'm also going to pretend that you and I know each other and are good friends. Bearing that in mind I am going to give you advice based off of my opinions and experience having played this army for several years now. This will be pretty long and I hope you don't get angry at me, I wanna be friends and I want the fandex to be good. I should also note that I currently think that the codex is of an acceptable power level albeit lacking in flexibility as well as options. I don't want to see what we have change I just want more unit types (If I am wishlisting for geedubs).I am going to skip fluff because thats less important and more flexible than the crunch so I am starting on pg. 14 (according to google chromes numbering system)

Wargear (First glance):
Ranged weapons-Plasma pistol and inferno pistol points costs were good, have hand flamers be costed similarly at ten points both for consistency as well as value. They may seem bad but at 5 points per I am worried about people flooding the board with them. 10 points seems reasonable at first pass.
Melee weapons-no complaints
Special weapons-raises flags but I assume that access to that list will be limited. Acceptable assuming you're responsible
Heavy weapons-seems a little cheap. 15 might be the way to go, be careful
Vehicle and relics look more or less the same and also fine.

>>48083900
Not a fan of most of these Ideas. We are VERY fire oriented but aren't special. SoB is about being in between guardsmen and spehss muhreens. Special rules are fine special wargear not so much. Space marines are still more important and often just as well supplied or better than we are, special guns don't make too much sense. However we are still WAY ahead of guardsmen in supplies so keep that in mind IE points reductions are okay but keep it sparing. Most of our value is in having large blobs of 3+ armor. More dudes than marines and better saves than guardsmen.

>>48085616
Taking a terminator, giving it the warding stave and as many books as you can find should work, but the proper terminator librarian models work fine with grey knights too.

>>48083990
Rosarius standard isn't necessary dropping upgrade cost by 5 would be nice though. Armor and banners are good, shields are questionable. A Canoness doesn't hide from heretics. Buying acts of faith is a little radical, not sure I like it but I could be convinced (Maybe).

>Reduce the cost of the Rhino to 35 points. a 6++ does not justify it costing 5 points more than other rhinos.

It's absolutely justified. most players would pay that tax on almost all their vehicles if they could. It is pure value.

>>48084088
+1S flamers would be an excellent act of faith. Take the formula for our fast attack squad, change their act of faith and weapon access options and make them heavy support. Suddenly you have scouting heavy flamers at S6 in an immolator maybe adjust their AP if you really want to just make sure to compensate in the points department, maybe make it an upgrade.

Changing the carry cap of the rhino will confuse people who are used to "Rhino" meaning "Carries 10 dudes" maybe consider changing the name, buffing the points cost and calling it something else maybe a Taurox clone or something. (This one is more for maintaining game unity than anything)

I'm moving down the Fandex now not sure what page I'm stopping on I'll probably make notes as I go. I hope this is going to be helpful somehow.

I want to thank Canada for leaving their pennies in the US so I only had to use a few US pennies to do this
also started my army today but i already posted that in the WIP thread since they aren't done

Is there any way of getting the Transcendent C'tan model without buying the entire tesseract vault? Are there any good models for conversions to make the C'tan?

hey quick question, Should i take a hell-hound or a secondary Russ? i have 83 bucks and a hole in my vehicle slot.

>>48085851
Pretty sure that was the other guy. Mine just sticks to simple fixes for obvious problems. My goal is to make it more dynamic without making it significantly more powerful. My target power level is C:SM without Grav or Formations.

>>48085753

That's a good list for starting out. I played my first games with almost the same list when I got back to 40k a year ago. There's a bit of a wysiwyg problem though. Your 5 power armor GK kit only comes with one incinerator. You probably wont get any shit because of proxying but you could drop the other incinerator and buy a hammer for your Librarian. Just take the hammer head piece from PAGK kit and glue it to the Librarians staff. Doesn't look too bad.

Same guy typing this for a 2nd time (Sigh)

Celestine through canoness looks fine and mostly the same. I like that canoness can have dual pistols. Good stuff
Hospitaller- Make her AoF buff the FnP she gives. Make it's use happen after she or her unit is declared as the target of a shooting attack but before rolls similar to a Jink. Make her cost 50 points and give her access to special or ranged weapons lists maybe both. At 25 pts per model spam of them becomes a concern. the points buff and weapons option makes her feel less throw away.
Priests- I don't like the 0-3 change, 0-5 seemed fine and curious as to why it was reduced. Also access to the ranged weapon list gives him access to dual pistols, not appropriate just leave him with his old list of options, you didn't change the plasma gun and that is what matters anyway.

The conclave looks ok but I never use them personally so my opinion here is less useful- Gonna skip over it (Sorry I can't help here)

Battle sister squad-I like the change to the ranged weapon lists and your use of it the more I read. Great job so far.

The frateris militia seems to be out of place. They seem very guardsman-ish I would advise looking to chaos cultist, Crusader squads in Black templars and tempestus scions for guidance on how to handle these guys. It seems like you want some holy Villagers with the 40K equivalent of pitchforks. They seem unfleshed out at this stage so I won't pass judgement on them until the move forward.

Rhino seemsnormal

Repressor-has some issues with repair (it isn't a rhino mostly a typo type thing for the WAAC to argue about). I haven't been to the rules bit for it so I am going to assume that the assault hatch lets you charge out of it? I like it if so but just make it an assault vehicle and increase the points cost accordingly. Because vehicles can pivot on the spot freely before or after moving the actual hatch used won't matter. (If I'm totally wrong on what that bit does ignore this part)

>>48086008
Funny, because 5 points is exactly what it costs.

I know this is not really the place but:
>How does AoS play compared to 40k?

>>48085905

Since the main part from that box that people want is the C'tan, you're probably not going to find it for sale on eBay for cheap. That whole box is basically "buy this C'tan and pay for the rest of the shit".

You can try using the other C'tans as a Transcendent one.

>>48086017
More of me

Looking at the Immolator and WOW. The weapons are too good. I like that you maintained the Holy trinity of bolter melta and flame but I think there should be a points hike for it. Maybe leave the old loadout and make each one of the new weapons (Excluding the multimelta) cost 15 points. Leave the TL Multi melta as part of the "Free" kit options and maybe invent a melta canon that shoots 2 small blast melta shots 24 inches or something? Either way it's too powerful at it's point cost Immo spam would be a little stronk in my opinion,

The strike fighter is a little all over the place. It says it's a fighter but it's for transporting and it has grav chute insertion and a bolt canon on it with options for a melta canon. We need more flyers. Trying is good, but implementation matters. My advice, just make it a transport. Take a valkyrie and modify it's properties a little. Toss the Lascanon for a multimelta leave the heavy bolters as an optional upgrade and let it drop fire bombs if you want it to (Pretty sure there's rules for napalm bombing runs in an apoc book somewhere) We have the avenger strike fighter and porting it from FW to the codex is great. Two flyers, one for transport and one for shooting shit is plenty enough for me.

Celestians look pretty normal

I should note it is 2AM and I am tired as fuck. I'mma go as long as I feel like it and probably resume tomorrow if I remember. If nobody is looking for me I probably won't post again, Last thing we need is more namefags

Instead of Rage on repentia squads consider Rampage. Works better mechanically even if the name isn't as fitting.

Seraphim are way too stronk, Too many weapon options. Cut it from 2 seraphim per 5 to 1 per 5 and we are ok. Imagine a max squad size seraphim squad with celestine at the front tanking wounds and deepstriking without scatter thanks to a well placed couple of servo skulls. Actually, maybe it isn't that bad. (They are my fave unit after all)

>>48086017
>Hospitaller
I've been debating this one pretty heavily. She's intended to be the primary source of saves for Repentia, who now get a 3++ instead of the 3+ FNP, and I'm kind of wary of letting them use a double AoF to make themselves unkillable for a turn, especially now that they have an Assault vehicle.
>Priests
I didn't actually change him from the 6E 'dex I started from. Dunno. Maybe I should delete that line?
>The conclave
The only thing I changed was the ability to take a Repressor (which they already could; it's a FW model so it's not featured in the GW codex)
>The frateris militia
Chaos Cultists were kind of my inspiration, but I took the rules from the Inquisitiorial Acolytes. They're intended to be cheap bodies with boltguns for people who like that kind of thing, or a minimal Troops tax for people who have something specific in mind.
>Rhino
I upped the transport capacity to 12 to help justify the 5 point increase compared to SM Rhinos, and to give a reason to take it rather than a Repressor or Immolator (it now fits a full squad of ten plus a Priest and Hospitaller)
>Repressor-
>repair
Oops, I copied the page from the Rhino and modified it to fit the Repressor.
>assault vehicle
You're right, I handled that improperly. Assault Ramp wargear removed, Assault Vehicle special rule added, access rules left unchanged.
>points cost accordingly.
I think it's already costed fairly for use as either a mobile firebase or an assault transport, and there's not really any units in the codex that could use it as both. Repentia won't take advantage of the fire points, Retributors won't take advantage of the ramp, and no one else can really abuse either.
>pivot on the spot freely
They'll have to present the AV10 rear armor to get the maximum charge distance, though. This encourages the fluffy method of Tank Shocking a unit and then Assaulting out.

Thanks for the help, I've been trying to get another set of eyes on this for days.

I skimmed Dominions and all seems pretty well but I am getting dead fucking tired.

Exorcist- Fixed it's biggest problem by letting them be taken in threes, Maybe compensate for the ability to bring NINE of the things by increasing unit creation tax a little maybe an extra 25 points at most. Also, when I started playing the army I thought it shot small blasts, it seemed really cool to pepper the battlefield with a bunch of stronk as fuck small blasts. If we are making a fandex anyway I would like to request that you give me an exorcist with +1 or 2 to all armor values that shoots 2d6 small blasts of Str8 Ap1 as a LoW choice and call it a Banexorcist or something. Make it Apoc only for all I care I just want an excuse to use a model in the case at my shop.

Penitent engines seem to be in better shape but consider making the incense cloud give them shrouded instead, it will help their survivability if played well and keeps your original idea which I like considerably. Their biggest problem on tabletop is closing the distance from deploy to combat, they do well in close combat but are a waste of points in the current codex because they can't get their. Shrouded helps a lot. Fleet would also do them some good although i'm not sure if walkers can have fleet at all to be honest. They need mobility or survivability is my point.

Retributors seem to be dandy but Slow and purposeful seems to be odd. not sure if I dislike it I would want to playtest it first. Could be a good idea.

made a 500pt Tau list of
1x Ethereal
3x Crisis suits plasma,Sheild, stims
x2 8 man strike teams
and a broadside with HY missiles and smart missiles

i wanted my XV8's to distracted by being hard to kill and still have some nice range. then let the rest of the army pour on the dakka.

Thoughts?

>>48086266
>Immolator
My idea was to try and bring the other weapons up to par with the Multi-Melta and make it an actual choice. Heavy Bolters and Heavy Flamers are pretty much garbage weapons that no one ever uses. I hiked the price of the model by 15 points (from 60), including for the TLMM option. Keep in mind that it's a dedicated transport that can't be taken separately, so there's a minimum 40 point tax (Militia) on each one. And while its weapons are strong, it's still a Rhino, so it suffers from the same issue as the lasplas razorback: it attracts a lot of fire that it can't really deal with.

It might need a few more points tacked onto it, but I'd like to playtest it. Maybe I'll just take it up to 80 for now.
>Strike Fighter
It's more or less a flying Immolator. The idea is that it drops a squad over an objective and then hangs around to support them. The guns are a little different from the Immolator to make it function better as a flyer. It gets a choice between the Avenger on the existing FW Strike Fighter (which comes with three lascannons for about the same price), a Multi-Melta (because muh trinity), and a Torrent template to turn it into a baby Heldrake.

>Celestians look pretty normal
Actually, they should play significantly differently. I gave them Artificer Armor, which, combined with their 6++, makes them almost into Terminators, and (meant to, just changed it) gave the entire squad access to the Melee and Ranged Weapon lists. Now, for a mere 33 points per model, you too can have S3 T3 Assault Terminators (with bolt pistols!).

>Repentia
I'm not sure Rampage is a good fit for them. Their strength is really in being able to shit all over a Knight or Land Raider, and they won't benefit from Rampage there. If I were to change it, I'd probably make it Furious Charge.
>Seraphim
Their weapons allowance from the base codex is 2 per squad (max size 10), so 1 per 5 would actually be a nerf. I'm not really sure 2 per 5 is really that overpowered
(1/2)

>>48086313
Hospitaller-Certainly a valid concern. Consider the points cost invested to put it together and be really scary. Consider the opportunity cost of using two once per game abilities and also consider that precision shots can take her out as well as you have a chance to fail either ld test. I think it is pretty fair. The assault vehicle bit makes it less risky but smart opponents will blow up the AV 13 vehicle then shoot them while they walk. It'll be rare and unfortunate for them to make it to CQC and have both abilities up their sleeve. they'll most likely have to burn it to stay alive. I would still test it before deciding either way. Personally I don't run Repentia too often but I HAVE run blobs of 20 with an attached sanguinary priest. It's a solid tactic, try to keep all units you "Could" attach an independant character to in your codex as well as the ones outside of it and the ICs that can be added to your units.
Priests- I have the 7eth ed update and have been playing with it long enough it is my "primary" sisters knowledge database in my head. in the 7th ed one priests have a slightly expanded gear list and can be taken in 0-5. I pair them with 5 sister strong immolator squaded sisters for Zealot and a plasma gun (+ the 2 meltas from the squad).
Conclave- Not a unit I use that often leaving it is probably the right call at least on paper.
Militia-I like your vision for them, they still need fleshing out but you are headed in a good direction. While typing this the word Vassals sprung to mind might be another option for their name if you aren't too set on the Frateris Militia.
Rhino- The 5 point increase is for the invuln save and trust me it is the MOST points efficient tax in the entire game of 40K. A single crappy save is better than no save and invulns can't be denied. It is amazing and I am LOADED with anecdotal evidence of games won on the back of that 6++.

Rhinos cont. shortly

>>48086542
The carry upgrade is nice but could easily be a point of contention for people who have been playing forever and "Know what the carry cap of a rhino is" My argument for keeping it at 10 is mostly political. By leaving it at ten you keep the codex in line with other codexes thereby increasing the odds of general acceptance and widespread use. Also cheap boxes with an invuln make a great screen for more important units.

Repressor-Happy to help

Assault vehicle-Glad to assist you

points cost- Fair. Leaving the points as is won't hurt I was only thinking of 5-10 points anyway

Pivoting on spot- Presenting that rear armor would matter a lot less if it is disgorging it's payload anyway at that point it is far less threatening/ important than the things inside it IS a delivery system after all

>>48086517
(2/2)
>I'm not really sure 2 per 5 is really that overpowered
because the Inferno Pistols option more than doubles the cost of the model (compared to tripling it in the base codex), and it's next to impossible to get 5 models within 3" of a vehicle anyway. And your other option is 50 points worth of hand flamers, which are still just hand flamers. They won't kill T3 6+ shit and deader than they already would with boltguns, and anything else will just laugh at them.

>>48086361
>Dominions
Pretty sure I didn't change anything rules-wise. I fixed the points cost since I posted that link, though. They're now 65 points/unit, same as the base codex.

>Exorcist
I dunno, I don't think 1200 points of Exorcists is really optimal. I guess I could limit it to 1 or 2 units per CAD, but I think people will do that on their own.
>LoW
I like this. It might make it in.
>Penitent Engine
I took the rule from the Sydonian Dragoon from the Skitarii codex. Since I last posted the link, I've reduced the cost to 60 ppm (!!!) and reduced the HP to 2 and side AV to 10. They're now significantly more survivable than the base codex thanks to their save, and more resilient to Explodes (you'll have more models for the same points cost/hull points number, so fewer hull points lost with every Explodes), and even more dangerous in close combat (25% less buck for your bang, and it's tough to hurt AV11 in CC anyway).

>Retributors
My main problem with them is that the turret thing works okay for Devastators, who usually end up with Lascannons (effectively infinite range on a standard table), or Grav-Cannons (which get Salvo and are still better than Gravguns even after moving), but it doesn't work nearly as well when 2/3 of your options are Heavy weapons. Before they were only really worth it if you took 4 Heavy Flamers in a Repressor for spamming the shit out of Rending templates, but now they can actually be scary when armed with Heavy Bolters or Multi-Meltas.

The terminator lord and the terminator champion have swords
The other terminator has an axe.

or are 2+ saves in a 400 point game considered uncool?

How effecitve are Pathfinders with railguns?(Markerlight role passed to Skyray and Markerdrones).

>>48086517
Immolator- Looking back it might be fine. Where I'm at the bundle of taking 5 battle sisters with 2 meltaguns and a plasma priest in an immo with TL multi melta is pretty strong if you can bring multiple copies of it. Four of those bundles can wreak havoc fast and still leave room for a little seraphim celestine combo squad at certain point values. I'd wanna play test a little too in your shoes.

Strike fighter- at 60 points I think it's probably too good. That said I don't play Elysian drop or anything so my understanding of valkyrie support is lacking. I'll admit my opinion here loses value but just at a cursory glance it looks worrisome

Celestians-
>Celestians look pretty normal
>I gave them Artificer Armor
I sure as shit missed that one. That's a fucking wake up. I like it. I really do. I mean, it sucks we're T3. Putting us in termie armor is points inefficient. It's still better than Chaos termies OR chaos Chosen which your celestians are a comfy middle ground to both. I like it. Might need squad size adjustment but probably not.

Repentia- I see a lot of deathstars at my shop as well as a good number of blobs of all varieties. Rampage would help there. Repentia are a unit I don't run very often either so consider my opinions half valid at best but I haven't had any luck killing armor with them. The can and usually will earn their points back when chewing on termies though.

Seraphim- My sleepiness is showing and you are dead fucking right. For some reason I thought they were max squad size 20. My B.

>>48086642
Seraphim pt 2- See above, however I should note that with their mobility they can pretty easily get in range for melta even if they can't just the Str8 AP1 can be enough. Also 8 hand flamers can probably kill a tac squad with volume of fire alone. (I also know it would be hard as hell but imagine casting misfortune on your target first functionally giving them rending)

Dominions- Cool, just sleepy posting if it's same stuff it's groovy

>>48086542
>Consider the points cost invested to put it together and be really scary. Consider the opportunity cost of using two once per game abilities
True. For 50 points, are we thinking FNP 3+ (66% chance) or rerollable FNP (56% chance)?

>Priests
Ah, I did reduced the number for 5 to 3, mainly to prevent DCA-spam, now that you can take Assault transports for them. Cheap Power Swords at I5 with rerolls seems too easy to abuse.

>Vassals
I like it, but Frateris Militia is an existing in-universe term. I'd prefer to use that than create and justify an entirely new Ecclesiarchy force.

>Rhino
I dunno, there's been a million times when I've wished I could fit just one or two more people in. My justification is that it's already a different model (Sororitas Rhino vs Rhino) with a different points cost and access to a different wargear list, and it makes sense you would be able to fit more Sisters of Battle in a given space than Space Marines (7 foot tall demigods in inches-thick armor vs 5-6 foot human women in form-fitting powered armor). Once again, since it has no FOC entry of its own and can only be taken as a dedicated transport, there's not really any allies shenanigans you could pull with it.

>Pivot
True, but it's just a thing. If you could assault out of any part, you'd still be turning to present the side armor. I think the way it is now is suitably clear and makes sense looking at the model.

>>48086773
>Where I'm at the bundle of taking 5 battle sisters with 2 meltaguns and a plasma priest in an immo with TL multi melta is pretty strong if you can bring multiple copies of it.
This is actually a nerf for that. You can already take that exact combo for 15 points cheaper. I just added the Flamestorm Cannon and Assault Cannon (think TL is too strong for the asscannon? I'm undecided without actually playing it) options.

>>48086773
>Also 8 hand flamers can probably kill a tac squad with volume of fire alone. (I also know it would be hard as hell but imagine casting misfortune on your target first functionally giving them rending)
I've got no problem supporting a combo like that. If you're casting a power on an enemy with an allied Psyker from a different unit and then assaulting it with a unit that give a lot of cheap, weak templates, that's just smart play. It's shit like Conclaves taking the Gravhammer taxi service to twinlink/invis their own units that bothers me.

>>48083834
Christ lad, put page numbers on the damn thing.

>>48086909
>Christ lad, put page numbers on the damn thing.
Good call. I'll add it to the to-do list.
>did we talk about the power weapon cost issue already?
It's been mentioned it before, but I'm not really sure how to handle it. They're the same weapons that Codex: Astra Militarum offers for the same cost. You buy S with the price of the model and you buy AP with the wargear. The AP is still the same. I guess just take axes or mauls instead of swords.

>>48086773
>Strike fighter- at 60 points I think it's probably too good
Hah, sorry. That was a remnant of the page I copied from. I upped to cost to 145, and I'm thinking about making that 155 or 160.
See:>>48084247

I'm uploading all the changes I've made since the start of this thread now, I'll have a link in a couple of minutes.

>>48086971
It matters a lot less for AM (though its still a grinding issue), as they dont really have any assult units (sans bullgryn, who arn't T/S 3), wjere as the SoB do have a bunch of them. taking axs is still a losing game, because you are only str 4 then.
Forge world have a handful of examples where power weapons are 10 pts for hoomies, and fists are only 15pts

>>48087011
I'll look into it. I don't have a problem with Seraphim being weaker than Assault Marines, for example, but they should be able to take Tactical Marines pretty handily.

Here's the link with updates:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B85e0VhuwajQMDFCWUI5QVF6WTQ

How does a newbie start with Tyranids, do I buy a ton of small units, a lot of big ones. Its interesting to me the different kinds of paths to take. But how do i pick said path.
>inb4 buy 5 flyrants
its not so much about hitting the enemy hard and fast as possible to win the game immediately, I want to be able to play, and play well, winning is always nice. But I also enjoy just building in general.

>>48086642
Exorcist- We play 1850 at my shop and while 1200 may not be optimal, I think that 750 points of exorcists (6 of them) could be. it still leaves room for some flyer support and enough troops and independent characters to hold objectives.

LoW- YES!

Penitent engine- Dragoons is unfamiliar to me but still fine. Be careful because the changes you made are favorable to spam of them (Not inherently bad). This kinda de-incentivises people to splash them if you need many of them to be effective. Also the cost of buying the models with $$$ goes up.

Retibutors- They're mostly a defensive unit anyway when I play them so lack of mobility didn't hurt. Not having space marine toys sucks but I don't mind it because they aren't Holy trinity. SnP shouldn't hurt my strategy and doesn't make yours OP so go for it.

>>48086781
I was leaning towards 3+ it is once per game per model so spam will be expensive and not guaranteed.

Priests- They have two roles in the codex being pseudo fearless and a melee buff for troop choices and the other role is conclave. I am just worried about the safety of role 1 if you change it to 0-3.

Vassals-Then may I request a line of flavor text calling them Vassals? It just sounds nice and I agree with your points on that one.

Rhino-Fair. I don't run them anyway so I guess you have a point about their value being skewed.

>>48086849
Nerf- I think that putting stronger guns on it is a buff. To make up for the increased points cost I'll take points from the people inside because the gun up top seems more effective anyway. not too familiar with those particular weapons though so i may be overvalueing them.

Psychic shenanigans-I also have no problem with it I was just trying to keep the cost of hand flamers and taking them en masse in mind. I have a buddy who plays Orks and I hurt him bad enough already.

I like what you're doing and hope to see more of it. I'll try to pop by the general tomorrow if I can but I've gotta sleep- good night

>>48087057
Spore Mines, Zoanthropes, and Flyrants are the only good models in the codex. Buy a bunch of those if you want to play the game, and buy whatever looks cool if you're just into the miniatures hobby.

>>48087073
Its a bit of both, I was already stuck between marines and tyranids because the marines have some really kick ass forgeworld stuff. But the nids are somewhat unique and remind me of things i'm fond of (halo, deadspace, Alien)
One of my main things is to not enter battle and just have an ork player absolutely destroy me before I get to my third turn.

I have to say, using hit and armor save modifiers really changes how the game plays for the better.

>Exorcist- We play 1850 at my shop and while 1200 may not be optimal, I think that 750 points of exorcists (6 of them) could be.
I agree; I think 4-6 is going to be optimal for most armies. I'm not sure I want to penalize that by limiting it to one unit per CAD, since I don't think it breaks the game. Normally I take 2 CADs with 5 Exorcists between them at 1850.

>This kinda de-incentivises people to splash them if you need many of them to be effective. Also the cost of buying the models with $$$ goes up.
I think it makes it better to splash, because you're only spending 180 points on a unit of 3 rather than 240, which means it's easier to take as a distraction carnifex (one PE isn't a distraction, it's just free kill points). You're right about the cost of models, though. I'll think about this one some more.

>Priests
You can always take a second CAD. Do you take a Priest for every Battle Sister squad? I usually just take one or two and try to avoid CC with most of my army. We're a lot better at shooting than stabbing.

>Rhino
Heh. I don't think anyone runs them. At least now they maybe have a reason to exist in the codex, between the capacity buff and the Immolator price hike.

>Nerf- I think that putting stronger guns on it is a buff.
The Twin-linked Multi-Melta is one of the weapons it already came with (TL Heavy Bolter, TL Multi-Melta, TL Heavy Flamer). I increased the cost for all three options, and then buffed the Bolter and Flamer to bring them into line with the strength of the MM. If you're taking two Meltaguns in a TLMM Immolator (which is the way I normally run them, and the only way I've ever seen them played), nothing has changed except for an increase in the points cost.

Thanks for weighing in.

>>48087117
I'll take it under consideration. I think it'll be a while before I start cleaning things up; for now I'm just trying to kludge together a functional ruleset.

I have decided to build a wyvern for my renegades and heretics army, but I cannot decide what secondairy weapon I'm going to have mounted in it. I'm thinking of a having the flamer, but what do you guys think I should add?

>>48087072
>>48087171
>Priests
Also, another reason I limited them is because I don't particularly like how the game pretty much ignores the issue of Leadership entirely, with ATSKNF, Fearless, and Stubborn being on everything under the sun. I don't think limiting the proliferation of Fearless is a bad thing unless it affects the army's ability to function, and it's been my experience that it's entirely possible to play and win with fewer than 4 Priests.

>>48087234
Can it take a Multilaser? Multilasers are always good. Goto did nothing wrong.

>>48087072
>not too familiar with those particular weapons though so i may be overvalueing them.
Assault Cannon is 24" S6 AP4 Heavy 4, Rending
Flamestorm Cannon is Template S6 AP3 Heavy 1

The weapons on the flyer are reversed:
Avenger Bolt Cannon: 36" S6 AP3 Heavy 7
Inferno Cannon: Template S6 AP4 Heavy 1 Torrent (12")

>>48087234
Go the flamer to help mitigate your sucktastic BS without paying the extra points for training

>>48087234
I use the flamer because I keep my Wyvern in cover and out of sight, so I never use the Bolter. It wasn't pleasant for the deep striking Blasterborn-filled Venom when 2 Wyverns both had flamers on it for self-defense.

>>48087246
I wish IG vehicles could have hull-mounted Multi-lasers. Chimera firing 2 Multi-lasers? I'd take it over ML+Heavy Flamer.

>>48087305
Autocannon/HB chimerae for days

>>48087238
Difference is you can snipe the priest to take away fearless, can't snipe ATSKNF

>>48087349
True, but snipers are garbage and no one takes them except as a "I have no idea what the fuck to do with these troop tax scouts"

>>48087371
Also, Priests are ICs and pass LoS! on a 2+.

I have been looking into creating a renegade army. But not make it chaos oriented, instead I was thinking of creating a Necron cult by using guardsmen and skitarii kitbashed troops to use next to my own Necron army. But is this possible? Would it work in lore and fluff, etc?

Closest thing to a Necron human army you can get is an Ordos Xenos radical Inquisitor and his retinue who specializes in Necrontyr technology.

So can Scions that take a Taurox still deep strike or do they lose the ability to do so?

They can, just not while in the taurox. The taurox can be held in reserve with the scions or placed on the table empty.

For your consideration.

As IG how big of a deal is speed when playing with Tactical Objectives? Would I fare well with using standard Chimeras for ObSec? I could throw in 3 to ferry my Vets in games below 1500 points while the rest of the budget is spent on LRBTs, a Wyvern and a Hydra.

I forget that the only fast transport I have in this codex is reserved for Scions.

Hey /tg/, got a friend who really wants to play Death Korps of Krieg but obviously Forgeworld prices are unacceptable, especially since he's thinking of having tons of men. So, are there any good suppliers of cool WW2-style trenchcoats and gas masks please?

I'd like some quick guidance. I'm trying to work out a low points all comers list with some Black Templars I picked up and I was looking for something that would pose a threat to vehicles and can decently harm infantry in its spare time. I'm kinda leaning towards a stormtalon with a skyhammer missile launcher but would that be too dickish at low points for some people to handle?

>>48088136
Buy them from china (start at reddit yoyhammer)

>>48088108

If you're playing objective IG, platoons are better than veterans for holding.
Chimera have a tendency to have their side armour exploited when playing too aggressively.
20-man blobs with a commissar if you plan on going to ground will hold most things just fine. Take a priest if you're expecting CC opponents.

>>48086738
Anyone?

>>48088136
Wargames Factory shock troopers are a good source for long coats. GW bits should go on them quite easily. Alternatively look into making Steel Legion alternatives, paint their masks with a skull motif and call the Kriegers, because that's how they were before FW started making them.

>>48086738
Terminators are not OP, no matter what points level you are playing at. Weight of fire alone makes Terminators meh at best, especially when you only have 5 Terminator wounds. Grey Knights are a little worse because there is literally only 2+ in their entire army sometimes. Their entire army is in your face and you have to deal with it quick. Your army on the other hand is sinking a number of points into more or less useless Cultists and also lack the ability to deep strike turn 1.

Depending on what you are facing you might want to consider power maces, I´ve heard some people have a lot of success with those.

>>48088587
Can confirm, power maces wound most infantry on 2+, can concuss monsters, and its AP eats xenos and guard all day if your meta has a lot of those. I really wish more kits came with them.

Want to make a catachan astra mila- I mean Imperial guard army. In your opinions are the basic guardsmen models like pic related terrible or alright? Are there any third party sources or converting I can do to get around them if they're bad?

>>48088472
I expect shooty armies from both sides of the knife-ear family, not so much CC in my group. Would the blobs do well against Eldar? It was an interesting experience seeing over a dozen Guardsmen drop dead each turn from AP5 poison despite most of them hiding in ruins, and how good Flickerfields can be at shrugging off S7-9 weapons. On the bright side, of my 2 vehicles, I lost 0 HP.

>>48088631
Go ask /hhg/ about, say, the idea of FW making conversion kits for Indomitus suits for power and combi-weapons (say, for HH). I'm sure you'll find tons of people who'd agree with you and not a single person will call you a retard baby who can't into making it yourself and needing to be spoonfed.

How does this look for an all comers 750 point guard list?

Company Command Squad with an astropath and master or ordinance.

A bare Primaris Psyker.

Infantry Platoon consisting of two squads with a flamer in each, a triple lascannon heavy weapons squad, and the platoon command squad where the primaris psyker will be attached.

Forward Sentry Vet Squad with two meltaguns.

Armored Sentinel Squadron with three missile launcher sentinels.

One Basilisk.

The idea is the astropath and primaris psyker both roll off divination for prescince and sit near the weapon teams and basilisk to babysit them and make sure they hit with a little extra punch from orders along with a chance at perfect timing or forewarning.

Company Command sits in the back with its psyker buffs, orders, and S9 artillery blasts to provide support.

The infiltrated melta vets try and threaten the toughest enemy armor or provide a roadblock to delay enemy mechanized units before they get cracked open.

Platoon Command acts as a secondary source of orders and some bodies to protect the primaris psyker.

Regular Squads either move up to secure objectives in midfield or bubble wrap if the enemy is deep striking.

Lascannon teams get twin linked by the psykers and focus on enemy transports or threatening vehicles.

Armored Sentinels run up a flank and assist in knocking out damaged transports or hunt meq. They can also harass light infantry after transports are down.

Basilisk eats anything that ends up footslogging or helps down hull points early game.

I'm just gonna buy all the shit from that How To Paint Blood Angels video and just suffer my wallet being empty.

>>48089603
In that case the sentinels could be dropped for a special weapons squad with three demo charges, the basilisk replaced with two heavy artillery carriages with earthshakers, the vets given another meltagun, and the company command given an autocannon.

>>48089786
There's probably some differences. Remember, the Fall had only happened fairly recently, the whole Path system may not have come into effect on every craftworld let alone the spreading of the aspect shrines and establishment of the guardian citizen militia.

I remember one short story (The Eightfold Path, I think) where some eldar were trying to kill Angron in order to improve the future (i.e. it was a seer-driven action) but when their ship got boarded the eldar were all fighting with dark eldar tech. Whether that's representative of eldar forces at the time or just BL getting their shit wrong again is up to you though.

>>48089786
I find it weird Eldar look like they have the dinkiest paper mache looking armor and weapons yet actually put up a fight in W30-40K. Like some how I feel like the t-shirts Orks wear offer better protection than the shit Eldar wear. I'm assuming it's cuz their shit is.. psyker infused w/e but.. again, a thick skinned Ork seems more believable to me than the shit they wear.

>>48089786
The current tech level of the Eldar is the same as it was 10k years ago. Eldar are convinced of their superiority, why would they improve on what they deem perfect? Also they go above and beyond the Mechanicus when it comes to relic retrieval, willing to burn star systems to retrieve a super sheshul helmet.

Why is 1850 such a common army size? It seems like a massively arbitrary number.

How do you kit out your DA company veterans, /tg/?

>>48090090
Think it's a hangover from when you couldn't use a 2nd CAD until 2000 points, so tournaments went slightly under 2000 to prevent this.

>>48090090
Normally people go by increments of 250. 500, 750, 1k, 1250, 1500.

In Europe, most tournaments and even normal groups stayed at 1750. But I guess people wanted to have a little extra room for upgrades and such at that level without leaving space for a full extra super heavy, so they tack on 100 points. Not QUITE that arbitrary, just a little.

>>48090090
Maybe it has something to do with power balance between armies? It might be around the level where every army has a chance to feild an effective force.

>>48090090
1500 is the only worthwhile point size to fight at.

>>48087384
Can, not ICs, 4+

>>48090384
>>48090398
Thats some shitty ass rules.

Yes, Sniper Rifles as in Imperial weapons do need buff since they feel very lackluster. But thats just bunch of over-complicated shit.

Easier fix that slightly fixes their garbage-status, gives them clear role and wont make them "3rd Edition Alaitoc"-tier cheesefest:

>Sniper: Weapons with these special rules always hit on 2+ (unless firing Snap Shots), wound on 4+ and have Split Fire, Rending and Precision Shots special rules. In addition, Look Out Sir! rolls against wounds caused by Sniper weapons suffer additional -2 to their roll.

There. Ratlings, Imperial Guard Snipers, Scouts and Eldar Rangers suddenly are way more usable and have clear role as IC snipers and monstrous creature slayers.

>>48090596
Why buff chance to hit and not chance to wound? That doesn't really make any sense.

My point was to design something intuitive around how a real sniper would actually work. i.e., it's generally one dude and his spotter that are supporting an infantry squad or targeting a specific enemy.

Yours is no less complicated but is harder to understand because it's further from what most people think of when they think of a sniper.

>>48090658
Do you know why Grav and D-weapons are hated?

They ignore their targets toughness. Stuff the units have paid for.

If you ask me sniper weapons shouldn't have had S:X in the first place. Thats just overall bad game design.

>>48090596
I enjoy parking my 60 point Rangers in cover and picking off plasma and melta gunners to make back there point cost.

>>48090658
S8 is ridiculous though. Why should sniper weapons wound so much better than, say, a bolter shell? A bolter shell is still a seriously nasty weapon that does massive damage to tissue, it's just that 40k has a bit of an inflation problem.

>>48087171
Exorcists-I think I failed to convey my message on this point. Exorcists are really powerful and being able to take that many might be too powerful. Just imagine two cad's of exorcists on a skyshield landing pad with some militia to keep people from climbing onto it and maybe some seraphim to push enemies from cover.

Splashing engines- It incentivises list splashing but actually buying the model is another thing. In a vacuum it's good in practice though I don't want to buy that many of them personally (Even if GW made them as cheap as Killa Kans)

Priests-
>Do you take a Priest for every Battle Sister squad?
Yes. They give zealot and war hymns are almost guaranteed to pass (I take veterans) The nearly guaranteed hymn means that they re-roll armor and invulns in cqc or they can re-roll to wound (with zealot giving them re roll to hit for the majority of the time they will be in combat anyway). It makes the unit much tankier than it looks for cheap AND it gives them a plasma gun which we otherwise don't have. It reinforces the idea that we are an army of special weapons and specialists.

Rhino- fair points might be good.

Nerf- I think that I really just don't know enough about the other guns and where they are found, implemented and costed in other codex to evaluate their use properly from a design standpoint. I think that your implementation seems to stack up pretty well. I think it is OK but I would like to see it reworked so you had the option of the original list and could pay for the upgrades. Maybe a 5 point increase from the base cost, free access to the TL HBolter, TL M-M and TL-HFlamer and the abilitiy to pay 10 pts for the canons?

>>48087238
I also don't like that a bunch of armies just ignore LD. That said we are THE Leadership army. Space marines are disciplined so they all get ATSKNF (Which needs to be nerfed real bad) and sisters get high LD on all our stuff and the only ability that I know of that operates exclusively with LD.

>>48090765
Maybe S6, then.

The point is to have a special weapon that can actually snipe normal dudes and reliably kill them while still being able to (with some luck) harm bigger creatures and vehicles.

Post songs that Noise marines would find appealing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYV2fKdpjYs

>>48087238
I also don't like that everyone and their grandmother has ways around LD but if everyone else is doing it and it's benefiting them we'd might as well too. Plus taking a priest per squad is as Holy as Doomguy's antechamber and gives much needed plasma.

>>48090396
I do it all the time. He adds a lot to a squad and is pretty cheap. Zealot means they don't even have to roll for morale, it also means that they can ignore pinning AND they hit more often in melee. War hums means that they can either A. Re roll saves and be tankier than my opponent expects or B. Hit harder than normal. Trading two troops units over the course of 3 turns to an opponent's HQ deathstar blob is absolutely worth it. Because while the Holy light of the emperor is keeping those girls alive far longer than they should be, the rest of my army is actually getting shit done.

>war hymns are almost guaranteed to pass
You know war hymns are on the models leadership and not the unit, right?
Priests are Ld7, so it's roughly a half chance to go off.

Can anyone here tell me why we stopped having a Battlefleet Gothic general? I liked scrolling through while I'm at work

I wish 40K had some awesome looking models like Age of Sigmar does.

Orks in particular, they're so boring to look at and play.

>>48091092
Nothing stopping you from starting one.

>>48090841
>Just imagine two cad's of exorcists
That's well over 2000 points worth of just Exorcists. Any game where you field that many is a game where your opponents are throwing around 10" D templates like they're Oprah Winfrey.
>on a skyshield landing pad
You can only fit 5 Exorcists on a Skyshield. Maybe 6 if you're a tricksy hobbitses, now that the weapon is turret mounted.
>free access to the TL HBolter, TL M-M and TL-HFlamer and the abilitiy to pay 10 pts for the canons?
The Bolter and Flamer are garbage weapons and I can't understand why anyone would ever take them. The TLMM is too strong for its points cost and turns SoB from a self-supporting combined arms force into a tank-hunting allies faction. You can still take a squad of MM Retributors in a Repressor (now they can actually hit things after moving) to fill your anti-tank requirement.
>That said we are THE Leadership army.
That's kind of why I don't like the idea of studying Priests all over the place. One of the most flavorful strengths of the army gets outshone by a single cheap auxiliary. With 0-3 you can still take enough to get the job done, but now you have to think about where you put them to make the best use of their rules, and you get to actually see SoB leadership in action. I'd rather buff base sister Ld if necessary than give everyone Fearless.

Calling it now: next edition is shaking up the system. I'm including the full bit from BoLS just so people can see the CSM stuff too:

> SadPanda chimes in his take on what is occurring:

>In response to this quaestion:

>“Thousand Sons only need one boss man. Ahriman is finecast. Magnus will be plastic.”

>He then went onto say went on to say:

>You’ll have a plastic Ahriman before you’ll have a plastic Magnus. Probably painted in red though.

>…As I was told (though it might be nonsense), the earliest sessions to start work on a new edition led to the decision to not update (for the most part) the Tau Codex and no longer re-do older books. Apparently they actually had more thorough rule-changes for the Tau, scrapped them, but still printed loads of not-new Tau Codex books because the printers were already booked, leading to the hybrid old/new Codex that is the Tau book.

>But they are definitely working on a new edition. It just won’t be released in 2016, not least (as I heard) because they want to move the story and need time for that.”

Tau had a full codex update ready to go but they scrapped most of it. That tells me the next system is likely throwing out how the game works currently,nor at least enough of it that a full update would need to be redone again anyways.

And it's from Sad Panda. Dude is one of the two most accurate rumour sources we have ATM.

>>48091820
Gotta be honest, they are pretty shit. I have a squad equipped for CC, one with plasma gun, combi plasmas and plasma cannon and the same with grav.

You're better off making them a command squad and giving everyone a specialist weapon.

>>48091693
It's not the unit taking the test, it's the model.

So I need some brainstorming help because I am super shit at naming things.

I started a Dark Eldar cabal and am raiding the Scourge box for bits (legs for the Squad characters/Archon, helmeted heads for everyone (the long pony tail looks great on a Reaver champion BTW) and I'm stockpiling their weapons for future Scourge and Trueborn Squads since they have a nice collection).

So basically they've nicked a Crone World (aka the places Craftworld Eldar farm spirit stones) into a pocket of the webway and host their hunts on it and have a kind of bird cult thing going on (they like taking shiny trinkets as trophies and have the whole Scourge helmet with feathers look).

Any suggestions for names?

>>48091985
Kabal of the Shattered Sky?

>>48091884
Well id love for something that could challenge the enemy command squads and elites. I'm thinking they get where they need to be in a rhino.

I want to add an extra 250 points on to my dark eldar army, what do you suggest, /tg/?
I've got an archon, succubus, 20 warriors, 5 incubi, 3 reavers and a raider.

I could get another start collecting kit or I could get a talos and chronos.

>>48092054
>I could get a talos and chronos.
They would as some variety to your army and the model looks pretty damn awesome and fierce so it's probably take fire off your main force.

So /tg/ i just quit my job what do?

>>48092185
Take up blacksmithing.

>>48092145
Oh that does sound interesting. My brain kept going back to crows and magpies mainly because they like to steal shiny objects.

But that idea sounds more interesting.

I'm assembling a lot of Meganobs, so far I've magnetised one so he can be both Tellyporta/KMK mek or regular nob, but I'm stumped about the others, I'm leaving the hands loose for Shoota/klaw or Kill saw, but as for the Kombi hands is it worth the work to magnetise them to allow shoota/skorcha option or should i just stick with kombi shoota?

>>48089290
But other guardsmen are clearly not wearing armor, just clothing. You could argue a great coat like Valhalla, death corps, and steel legion are all woven with armor in them maybe but plenty of other guardsmen are clearly not. Tallarn have thin rags, Mordian have dress uniform, so really the guard armor save should not be worrying you. If you want to think of it another way the jungle fighters are way tougher and stronger than regular guards but that isn't represented in their toughness or strength, so they get the same armor save as clothing despite not having any.

>>48092208

Yeah, he's never been wrong. So since he said we'll see a plastic Ahriman before a plastic Magnus.. that contradicts what Atia said..

To be honest, I'm caring less and less. I have no interest in 40k beyond painting, modeling, and reading the fiction. When a new edition gets released, I'll give it a chance. I must admit though, I don't have high expectations.
GW just doesnt have it anymore. The creativity is almost completely gone from their studio.

looks interesting so far, currently I shelved sisters after the ebook codexes removed most of the interesting options and turned them into oatmeal soup (also power creep)

one thing that comes to mind: you might actually want to reduce the cost of celestians a little, 2+/6++ is strong, but 33 pts/model is the base cost of Grey Knight Terminators, who get all the benefits of terminator armor, a force/power weapon, and are S4 T4. reducing it to 28 pts/model or even slightly lower would still be reasonable.

also: where did you get the page backgrounds from? I've been working on a few custom datalslates and homebrew for inquisition stuff, and lack of a decent page background/header is all I'm missing.

on the subject of formatting: the options lines in the current dataslate format is simply a right tab stop with a dotted leader, otherwise the format on your pages looks correct.


so far I've done 3 games of playtest with attached after getting some feedback on it locally and from here a few generals ago, so far it seems to be quite reasonable and if anything far overcosted. personal teleporter was more points but it was pointed out to me that regardless of the other benefits, it also means you may fail to arrive from reserves if deep striking (as happened in playtest 3). other major changes since last posted: rampart shield can now only be taken with a melee weapon.

>>48092319
Mangus is supposed to be part of Fenris PT 2. They could release Ahriman before that.

Regarding the stupid creativity, I don't see it so bleakly. Then again I am pretty accepting of most of the stuff they put out.

>>48092342
>Mangus is supposed to be part of Fenris PT 2. They could release Ahriman before that.

I don't think that's what he was implying.

Did they ever redo the lore about places like the Agrippina sector falling (mostly) to the Death Guard or the Scarus Sector falling (mostly) to the Orks in current times?

Also, would Eisenhorn or Ravenor still be alive by the time the Crusade hit?

>>48083891

>>48092369
Considering the red armour comment it makes me wonder if another Heresy Era board game is coming out. One with Thousand Sons and Wolves perhaps?

That's be one way to see Ahriman in his old red armour.

>>48092339
since I derped when attepting to link to other posts beyond the first: the 33pts/model is in reference to the in-thread conversation. Grey knights codex may still prove useful for comparison because as a general rule they're a large number of points for very few models, and generally represent the upper limit of what is reasonable/viable to pay per unit and still have an army worth talking about.

>>48085960

Either way, it looks like Atia and her rumor about Fenris 2/Magnus and plastic Daemon Primarchs - was incorrect.

If not, I think you should consider changing it unmodified. If not you're basically just making orks I4. I think people will be more accepting of the codex honestly. Loving a lot of the new stuff though, my bro and I are gonna do an ork on ork game soon to try it out. Thanks for all the good work!

Someone suggested earlier reducing the price of power weapons to 10 ppm. I can do that or reduce the price of Celestians to 16 ppm (or both, I suppose), but both options have effects outside of Celestian power levels in close combat. I'd rather test things first before I change anything, unless I can get a consensus on a better starting point.
>also: where did you get the page backgrounds from? I've been working on a few custom datalslates and homebrew for inquisition stuff, and lack of a decent page background/header is all I'm missing.
It's from a 6E codex someone posted in a thread a few days ago about reworking Sisters. He's also got a fandex in the works built off of it, but I didn't really like the direction he was taking it, adding a bunch of "wow, wouldn't that be cool?" units rather than focusing on the problems of the codex.

you forget that the ion shield only covers one facing, and has much the same problem as any other knight does, you shoot it from multiple angles and it can only fix the problem from one direction. in 2 out of 3 playtests it has not even come close to earning its points back since it was attacked from multiple directions and destroyed as a result, the same tactic that kills normal knights dead.

in the third test it was run as a standard crusader, with only the base tax added, and in that case it did damage but was mostly a non-factor in a game decided by objectives behind intervening LoS blocks.

perhaps think before rushing to judgement?

>>48092339
Why did you feel the need to make a whole new variant just for your special snowflake knight. Most people do awesome kitbashes where they have their own custom weapons and armor modifications but just field them as a normal knight, but my guess is you are going to be fielding either a stock knight either primed gray or painted gray like a grayknight, then play it as "Count-as" my special snowflake knight.

You're really over-hyping a 2+ though. Ask people who field termies how much they trust their 2+s. The fact that Sisters can lose their fearless and other fearless troops (Cult CSM, Space Marines, Tyranid MCs) can't still demonstrates that it shouldn't be nerfed
