What's everyone's opinion of the physic phase? Does it need redesigning and if so how?

>>48328942
>Physic Phase
Gravity overpowered.

>>48328942
It's fine as is.

So I had an idea for an Imperial planet's local Arbites and regiment.
>Arbites get Komodo Dragons to aid them in crushing criminal scum
>veteran law abiding Komodos get their own Dredd helmets
>the local regiment gets Megalanias in space as mounts while the Arbites can only bring them out in case of a riot
How do I make this cooler?

Looking in all these codexes, it's strange that melee armies don't get assault transports and fragile shooting armies do.
Is there a melee army that has easy access to them?

>>48328532
I see a lot of upgrades on trukks like red paint job that I wouldn't take. Reinforced ram is probably more useful. Also it looks like you've got some 9 man boys squads without nobs, it's hard to tell with the formatting.

I doubt it will be super competitive, but it might be fun having every turn fearless Waaagh! Having said that, I'd trim all the boss poles from the list. And wait wait wait are Ghazghkull and friends footslogging? That's gonna suck. Also ghazzy's Waaagh! lets meganobz run, so unless you already have the nobz and don't have any MANz you should for sure take MANz instead.

It's too bad that wazbom blastajet isn't listed as an option in that formation. The Tellyport Mega-Blasta is Assault 1 so it would be able to shoot twice every turn with Waaagh Plane!

Let us know how it goes I guess.

>>48329066
Orks. Everything is open topped so it's assault. It doesn't help all that much, but imagine how screwed the boys would be if trukks weren't even Assault Vehicles.

>>48328942
As a Tau player, I'm defenseless to everything in it, so I don't like it in a sense that it's a weakness I have to work to play around. I'm decent enough to respect that I'm supposedly overpowered as is and I believe the psychic phase is done well enough for the game as a whole rather than overpowering the Tau players everyone seems to hate here. I wish Farsight's talisman relic was a tad more useful against it though.

>>48329100
I was planning on having war bosses take over for the nobz. Should I give ghazzy and co a mekboy junka, or a trukk? Or a battle wagon with a supa kannon?

>>48328942

Trash. Absolute trash. 90% utterly useless, 10% horribly overpowered with certain builds, almost no middle ground.

Clunky and awkward too. Overcomplex. Unintuitive. Bad.

>>48329140
>Orks
>Melee race
>I2
>S3
HA, good one!

>>48329200
Boys mobs of less than 10 aren't legal. Unless it's some Nova thing that I don't know about.

Also I'd go with a Battle Wagon for sure. Ghazghkull will have a big target on his head.

>>48329238
I guess I walked into that one. But they sure as hell aren't a shooty army.

>>48329199

As a non-Tau player I wish Tau players would stop posting in these generals.

>>48329199
>As a Tau player, I'm defenseless to everything in it, so I don't like it in a sense that it's a weakness I have to work to play around.

Kind of like markerlights against every army, stormsurges and riptides against non-D/grav armies, and jetpack movement, plasma, and missile spam against weak armies?

>>48329387
Chaos here reminding space marine players that they're all a bunch of little bitches. Complain more faggot tau are fine.

>>48329349

>dakka jet
I dunno anon, they actually do much better shooting.

>>48329463
>randomly assumes someone is a space marine player while playing space marines himself
>claims tau are fine

Guess that means CSM are fine too. Chaos players claiming others are little whiny bunches is hilarious. Don't you have legion rules and 3.5 to cry about? Or how CSM is the worst book ever?

If you play Daemons that's even more hilarious.

These generals could do without Chaosfags, Orks, and Tyranids too. It used to be just IG faglords complaining about regiment diversity and BT faggots crying about their codex, but I guess there's always going to be some kind of faggot shitting up these shithole generals.

>>48329463
Chaos marines are competing with Orks for worst codex in the game, what gives you the right to judge a good codex when you've never seen one?

>>48329510
>he said, after whining about the psychic phase

Thanks for proof number #2462575 of Tau players all being worthless, cancerous faggots who make the entire hobby worse for their existence. There's a reason people other than your close friends refuse to associate with you IRL in the store.

>>48329510
If you say so

There was this one game where this guy sent an empty Land Raider at my Pathfinders in ruins, and I was forced to go to ground to have them survive. I lost TWO guys, the nerve of this guy! I had to spend like 2-3 markerlights to make their snap-shooting even useful!

Really though, I'm on the lower end of my casual-friendly meta even with a Riptide, and I'm sorta sad about how much hate my faction gets. To spark some hopefully informative discussion, how should Tau with their current rules and models be played/added in lists to keep things fun and balanced in games below the WAAC level?

>>48329316
Oh, my bad. Supa kannon battle wagon it is.Should I take a deff roller, more dakka, or a reinforced ram?

Hey asshole, how about this: You play an army that actually has to make sacrifices and decisions during the game.

Then you tell me how you feel about myopic, self-absorbed faggots who can't admit that they're playing the game on 'beginner'.

Until then go fuck yourself.

>>48330039
Nope.

>>48330039
Nope. People only play Marines now, except a few faggots who play Eldar because they want to win and get beaten up. Forge World even invented a new version of the game where you can only play as marines.

Or, you know ..just tone down the list you're using? your stupidly powerful codex is full of gifts designed to nudge waac retards into buying a Tau army. That doesnt mean you have to see how badly you can beat lesser opponents in every game you play. It's no wonder everyone hates Tau players. The vast majority of them have zero social awareness/skills.

>>48330212
You still have raw converting potential, anon.
But that's not much, is it?

stupid question but are tau and eldar the only ones who can consistently field D weapons in moderate point games, putting asside markerlight and general eldar having pyschic rerolls, fleet, auto dodge, and whatevre else

How do eldar corsairs compare to the following armies
Tau
Deldar
Skitmech
Space Marines
Orks
Tyranids

>>48330298
Eldar outshadow everyone else by a lot, the Tau can only field D out of the stormsurge, Eldar have multiple, commonplace units with S:D weapons
Everyone can field S:D in moderate point games because of Lords of War though, so your question should be re-worded as consistently field D weapons with just their codex.

>>48330371
Better than all of them.

>>48330371
Corsairs are about equal to Eldar in strength. I cant recall off the top of my head, but they have a trick or two that are absurd. In addition to having Eldar units.

We have our flgs in a good neighborhood near a Community College. I would never ask one of the vets or familymen if they would want to but if they are like me in my mid 20s, no kid and a blue collar job I have had 80% accuracy with judging if my opponent smokes.

Its one of the few times I can have fun and shit

>>48331463
I can only really smoke on my days off because I work a lot and it makes me groggy the morning after.
My most usual adversary has a similar situation with his work and the first time we smoked before playing he admitted he was a lightweight.
We walked around the block and smoked my a small joint and when we get back to playing he was all red eyed and almost hysterical. We had a good time and I am glad not too many people were in the shop but I creamed him and he made the game take way longer than need be.
Now he may just take a hit or two and be relaxed and want to sit instead of stand the whole game.

>>48331572
I usually get into trouble when I drink beer
Ive dropped my models n shiit, not even real drunk
So I usually drink scotch and it kinda bears it down

I'm always playing against super sober, although very nice and fair, guys and it just sobers me up some too

>also sober opponents remember the rules

>>48331653
Not a big drinker myself though with the Bar right next door we would go for rounds after a campaign night.
I wouldnt get super ripped and try to play but just a small joint to stand around and tolerate the time the games can take as it isn't uncommon to play 3000/4000 point games every few months.
Luckily my army is pretty fast and the action goes fairly quick. I hate playing my Necrons because they are so dumb and slow.

>Went to the Open Day

There was SO much subtle butthurt out of them regarding Fires of Cyraxus.

>They didn't want to transfer the 30k stuff over, to show the decay of technology. GW forced them after there was complaints from Admech players. "We were given a directive from on high to merge the two."
>They are replacing any volkite gear on HH stuff with Arc Rifles. They don't agree with GW's statement that volkite survived (after I pointed out standard gun for magos in cult mech), and intend to undermine it where they can.
>They didn't want to port over the robots. Now they're doing it as relics, but they promised the insane rules (not as in OP, but as in the robots lost their minds) means they're a double edged sword.
>They didn't want to port over Skitarii. They wanted to do feral warriors like in Titanicus. GW made them synch up to the new release. that's why we're getting peltasts and hoplites. They were forbidden from using the words hyspasists and praetorians.

I almost feel bad for them.

I know you two mates are having a conversation but if I could get a bit of help that'd be neat.

Recently bought B@C to start my first army and I am realizing that it needs a ton of transports and I do not find rhino/razorbacks that interesting at all.

I have done a bit of research and Grey Knights and Deathwing both seem like more of the Space Marines I was interested in.
Looking for more of an Elite force that kicks ass with good fluff to support them.

Wanting to get some heavy weapons teams for my astra militarum, what are better in general - autocannons or missile launchers?

>>48331947
I should add that I'm not overly concerned about being supercompetitive, and I do love the look of missile launchers

>>48331962
Missile Launchers it is then mate.

>>48331034
I thought Corsairs had a Wraithknight variant called Scathatch or something like that.

>>48331435

Cool

I'm hoping 30k armies aren't ridiculously OP, what is the likely hood of other players agreeing to games?

>>48332111

30k armies are low power compared to 40k because they don't get the free unit formations, insane LoWs, or superfriends bullshit.

>>48331934
B@C isnt good for GK or Deathwing.

>>48330637
Daemons and KDK can bring/summon a bloodthirster with a D weapon and the new Tzeentch spells has a strength D spell. (although it is one of the worse spells on the list imo)

>>48332111
HH is mostly vehicles and meq. Their are Legion RoW, but they arent as gamechanging as the better formations in 40k.
You can do it, but you'll get worked by competitive lists.

>>48331784
Yeah moving flyrants around is pretty easy

but playing a warconvocation when drunk, thats a bitch
so many buffs to keep track of

>>48331934
Going dark angels means your tac marines can still be useable, you can't really go mono deathwing anymore anyway.

Or, to put another way, what army plays the least one dimensionally?

>>48332330
Marines. Eldar is only specialists, Tau only shoot, 'Nids Zerg rush, Orks and CSM die, daemons and GK Psych you out, Necrons don't fucking die, and Admech holds its 10k pose. Marines have the most options (shocker, the most popular and focused on army has more dimension) for gear, tactics, etc., and base can do everything pretty well.

>>48332356
I truly do not understand this mindset, it just means you can't put the anchors down without fear anymore if the opponent has tanks or vehicles that can tank shock

Well atleast people won't be able to deny me bevause of how OP forge world is.

I am very interested in playing the Death Guard. I really like the idea of spamming foot slogging infantry backed by some heavy weapons.

I'm going to be mixing the FW nurgle marine kits with calth tactical marines for that fall to chaos look. I want them to look like they just fell to chaos thanks to typhus being a dick hole.

They will, because FW FEELS overpowered. Logic ends where a gamer's feelings begin, so be prepared for a lot of denied games.

Other marines. Besides the chaos kind. Or the wolfy kind. Or the vampire kind.
Sometimes the closest heretic kind.
But no, only the vanilla kind really. But, given all the different chapters that exist, I'm sure you can find one you like.

Do you have a problem with mrines or something?

>>48332504
That actually looks good, and you could also do the sun design around the shield-bit of the battlecannon. But the thick paint, awful conversion and bland details of the other one was mediocre at best.

>>48332428
Yes and no; most every other army does something better than Marines, whether it's shooting, Psykers, Assault, or map control, but the Marines special thing is that they're solid in all of them, the sort of Jack of all trades master of none type deal (theoretically). In reality, marines are always the best choice because they can take fantastic gear and formations as well as really good base stats for some unholy cheese. The closest you could get is the various forms of Eldar, but the issue with them is each unit does one thing fantastically but dies instantly outside of it. Other than that, Daemons have a lot of selections but have the same problem as Eldar in that outside of their job they will die.

tl;dr no

>>48332504

No. You're shoehorning Dark Souls into 40k regardless of how you do it. It's jarring, and basically breaks immersion, because here I am setting up for 40k and you're spouting PRAISE LE SUN XDDDDD like a braindead redditor.

>>48332513
Fair enough.

Though, with a thousand options to choose from, you're almost guaranteed to find a chapter whose fluff you do like. And if you don't, ypu can always make your own.

Not to mention that, funnily enough, the ar,y that is most likely to succeed with these powers (besides daemons), is marines.

No, they don't have their own Codex, which means they can do any Tactics, which is nice- not a lot of notable chapters with unknown foundings. Plus they've got a rocking color scheme, that's always a plus.

>I have always had a soft spot for the blood ravens thieving ways. Probably more because of a fondness for the dawn of war series than anything. Did they ever get an official codex?
Nope. But, I'm actually a blood ravens player myself. They actually have very little support (though with DoW3 and rountree, that may change), and don't have their own chapter tactics even, but they are the chapter explicitly named in regards to unknown foundings, which means they can take any chapter tactics.
Which in turn means they can take and special characters or relic, which is basically what you would expect from a blood Ravens chapter tactics anyways: using other peoples stuff. And psykers. Lots and lots of psykers.

GW has released two Blood Ravens minis now. The Deathwatch librarian (named Vidya) and an exclusive captain that had a thunderhammer.

>>48332688
Every general with a "general image" is shit tier anyway.

Can an independent character that's cavalry (chaos sorcerer on steed) join a squad of bikers?

>>48332835
His name isn't Vidya, Vidya is one of their most respected chapter masters.

>>48332872
The entire point of the whole general image is that it makes it easier for people to find the general in the catalog. It's necessary for a good general.

>>48332900
Vidya Gaem

>>48332746
It can be pretty great with summoning/sacrifice, but the biggest warning I can give you is that they are INCREDIBLY up to chance- one bad Warp Storm can fuck your entire strategy, or a missed psychic power will lose you a depressing amount of abilities. But they are a great army, they do the Psychic phase better than anyone, Tzeentch is the best, and watch out for Grey Knights. Have fun with the D-thirster!

>>48332835
That captain wasn't blood ravens specific. There's no chapter heraldry on the mini. I've got one.

>>48332732
I don't care about that, I need to know unit rumors!

If you do face off either of them, no real need to worry. The War Convo pumps out enough Dakka to kill an army twice its size, just send in the Marines to clean up what's left. And unless I'm mistaken, only the Wraithknight can take the Wraithcannon, meaning you can mulch through whatever else comes your way with Kataphrons. And even with Wraithknight, you can shoot that shit to hell.

Anyone else have a hard time building mehreens lists? I'm trying to do a drop pod list for Star Phantoms without falling into the gladius rabbit hole of fuckery and I can't figure out a good way to do it, I feel like I don't have enough boots on the ground if I go for 5 man pods, but not enough points for fancy stuff if I run 4 10 man pods

Would anyone players would care if I put the Scrolls of Magnus on a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch? It says you need the Mark of Tzeentch, however, a Deamon Prince can only get the Daemon of Tzeentch rule. I dunno, just makes me sad.

>>48333759
I have some good news, don't worry: it's not as bad as tg says it is.

Really, unless by "fluffy" you mean everybody footslogging and no heavy weapons, you can still do okay against most things. Maybe not Riptide wing, but I'm guessing your list is static gunline-ish since, you know, masters of the siege and fortified positions. Those are actually quite good.

Think about it: If you have even Plasma Cannon Devastators deployed in ruins at the edge of your deployment zone, you're covering MOST of the board with your guns. And it's likely you've got two groups of those, and even better they probably have lascannons for total board coverage.

heavy bolters are even fluffier, and with Fists tactics they actually become decent.

You can get some serious firepower with fluffy lists, especially marines.

>>48333123

>>48333792
Yeah. I have a squad of Devastators with lascannons but the angels of death strike force doesn't have any slot for fortifications so i have more of an offensive siege. It also doesn't help that the people I play with run Tau suit lists and Necron Decurions...

>>48332330

Eldar and marines by far have the most viable options and different ways to play.

There's an easy way to beat Necrons at their own game if you ally in Raven Guard. Fluff them as RG successors who worked with the Fists so often that they started to come around to their style of warfare. Or whatever you want really.

You and Tau fags need to kill yourself, so we stop seeing these fucking retarded rule "interpretations".

If you don't have the mental capabilities to read and understand simple sentences, and are too autistic to understand basic logical problems, then you probably shouldn't be playing a game as complex as 40k

Though I suppose you playing marines makes sense, considering these two facts. Tau would also work out nicely for you.

He just means that the WAAC version, Skittles loaded into drop pods bristling with arc rifles and plasma calivers, can no longer be played. Regualr War COnvo is fine, not as WAAC as you're going to see in a proper tournament but with good play, could see you through.

I just played a game against eldar corsairs as space wolves. That was.. Miserable. They are effectively immune to melee unless they chose to engage it, have almost complete board control, and pack way more shooting and anti-vehicle than I can put down. Dude offered a rematch later.

What the fuck do I do to deal with these guys?

>>48335554
>eldar corsairs
That is like saying you played against Chaos.

What list did he field? He has a million choices, so you need to provide a lot more info on what he was using.

>>48335554
>2016
>actually wasting your time and accepting games against Eldar and Tau players

You deserved what you got. Corsairs are still fucking Eldar.

>>48335620
So are Deldar

>>48329066
Dark eldar vehicles are open topped, but if they are a melee army is questionable.

So is the LandSpeeder Scout, if you count scouts as meleeunits.

>>48328942
It does work with 0-3 mastery levels per side and quickly degrades with more.
And some spells are ridiculous (invisibility for example)

>>48335554

If you manage to break a unit they'll all run off the board. They have 2 leadership values, one is the "we are fucked and running now" value and it's like, 4 or 5.

Most of their shit is paper-thin and will die if you concentrate fire. They run Venoms and Hornets ("look at it and it died" tier unless the Hornets have the movement-induced cover save thing) and also non-Wave Serpent Craftworld tanks, which really aren't that strong. If he's not using Aethermancy he's not really that fast, and if he is there's a chance he'll perils and BTFO his own shit on the Corsairs perils chart.

You can get into combat with their vehicles. As far as I remember, they don't get the bullshit run away from anything move. Further, if you surround the infantry with 2 squads they can't run (1" distance from all squads or unit can't go there, as per BRB). He'll have map control but you can probably kill him entirely if you target things in the correct order and make a big invincible wedge thing. Unless he had Fire Prisms, he has no blast templates.

Basically they're like if DEldar were good, so just do whatever you do to kill DEldar. I'm now familiar with the space yiff codex at all so I can't really offer anything specific. If he is running heavy weapons on every single bike he is a dick, fuck playing him again. If he doesn't have bikes then you should easily blow him the fuck out on the troops side of things. Keep in mind your bolters can kill basically every single unit he has, including most of the vehicles...

>>48332326
People like you are why I nowadays expect a written armylist with the weapon upgrades listed.

>>48335600
> What list did he field?
Mostly bikes with viper and hornet support.

I managed to actually deal with most of the hornets in the first turn. He had them in two squads of three, and I managed to blow up all but one with some lucky rolls from two five-man WG suicide drop pod squads with combi-meltas.

The rest of the game though, the bikes ate me alive. Ridiculous amounts of mobility and firepower, and to make matters worse they were all on combat drugs. i watched him roll the table +1 toughness, so they were all on T5.

>>48335647
>but if they are a melee army is questionable.
>DEldar
Having seen a unit of 10 Incubi crash into a 20 man Crusader Squad, and promptly clean them off the board without even getting to strike back, I can tell you that these fuckers are RIDICULOUSLY good in melee. Their only drawback is being squishy and having problems getting there, and open topped transports help s lot in that regard, just not enough when the vehicle is made of paper. A tactical squad with no special or heavy weapons will still down it even outside of rapidfire range.

>>48335786
No grenades though.

>>48335763
>bikes
Well, that makes i easy.

You do the same you'd do against Riptide/grav-spammers. Don't fucking play against them.

>>48329066
Space wolves aren't too bad off. Land Raiders are the bog standard and kinda meh, but their flyer is a pretty decent way to get a load of wulfen or blood claws into combat. I'm pretty sure they can be taken as a dedicated transport.

>>48335801

>>48333997
>Implying there's a shortage of AP3/AP2 in this game.
Which is better than being as 5+ or 6+, because the tau and everything else can ignore our as without even needing ap2 or ap 3 for that matter, we have far less durability than you even without the ap spam

>Implying IA13 isn't filled with shit that's blatantly worse than anything SM has and somehow overcosted as well.
Cry me a river, at least you're supported rather than being forgotten and left for dead, and IA13 still adds many viable options to CSM, so excuse me if I can't spare a shred of pity for your middle tier army.

>>48335821

Assault Grenades are per model.

>>48335861
Really, even trying to argue that CSM is on the same level as Orks is absurd.

Chaos actually gets supplements and support.

>>48334509
>Implying the works won't kill themselves afterwards
The csm are less likely to kill themselves and/or run from the table than orks, Tyranids or deldars.

Hey guys, I'm looking to start building an army of my own and the grey Knights really caught my eye but I'm trying to optimize them the best I can since I'm very new to this. I've noticed some inquestion units that have snipers and I'm also wondering if they go well with them.

Screw not set properly, it works though. Hmm russia ?

>>48335916
Short version: it's really easy to take multiple detachments as allies now. So to replicate a 5e Grey knight codex, you'd be running Grey Knights with Inquisition as allies.

So I've got my second game today, my 500 pts Eldar vs whoever is around in the shop and can be bothered to break in a newbie. I've got my list down, and I took Runes of Fate on my Farseer last time. Was thinking of trying a different discipline this time for flavour, but the others seem kinda lacklustre. Telepathy only has 2 powers that are useful for me, one being the Primaris and the other being cheesy invis. So I guess I'm asking what the benefits of the other are.

Sanctic has some fun stuff, but perils is meh and the primaris is completely useless to me, same with Hammerhand. So I guess Divination? Gives my squishy pansies some protection I spose. Or should I just stick with RoF?

>>48335916
Yeah they split the codex up for 7th for some reason. Now only the inquisition can get psybolt ammunition.

>>48335911
Dark Eldar suffer the most from the proliferation of mid-strength shooting caused by the most recent Tau and Eldar codexes. If you tell the tier one armies to fuck off, Dark Eldar can do quite a bit better. Orks and CSM especially lack the ranged mid-strength shooting to effectively deal with large numbers of mechanized DE, as do Tyranids that don't spam flyrants.

>>48335911
Play Corsairs instead. Same models, but infinitely better.

Well they can't have everything. They're still an AP2, WS5, I5, S5 pile of rape that generate extra hits on 6s, get power from pain benefits AND have webway and assault vehicle access. One deficiency doesn't make them useless. It just takes a tiny bit of forethought to get them into combat

>>48335647

Top says to cut detail sections of the model out with knife.
not sure about middle.
3 says that section has something to do with making combination weapons

>>48336227

I don't understand much slav, but those pictures are pretty clear. Looks like you can turn any bolter into combi-weapon by cutting a little piece off. That's cool.

hey guys, new to the game wondering if you could help a fellah out. im going with orks, i have the codex but a guy at the store said if i wanted all the rules i needed more things. he said a magazine had some vehicle rules, and another codex had more rules, and another book had more tank rules,
is this standard for this game, i thought id just need the codex and rulebook, or is what hes talking about extra stuff i dont need? thanks for the help

>>48336201
>Marines are top tier
Are you surprised? Hell, is *anybody* surprised? Marines are always solid or better, and winning tournaments is not weird at all.

Stop listening to Muhreen babies who can't figure out how to play the game. Shitters will be shit, even if they are playing the objectively most broken and overpowered army in the game. It is easier to cry about the competition being OP, than learning how to play the game.

10 , enough to make a single squad.
I am planning to include them as allies to my IG if slavs make more various models in the future(hq , seraphim , heavy support etc) Otherwise kill team probably.

From what I understand there are 3 big recasters right now.

zhanchui, Aliexpress, and con

None of the websites I've found for them work, but I keep reading that they are still producing models.

Can somebody please help me out, it's ridiculous how secretive people are with this shit... as if they don't just make new websites within 5 minutes of the old one being shut down.

>>48336326
None of the big Chinese recasters use websites anymore.

They are Tau 2.0 without big mechs, but with far better deathstars.

I'm playing against my friend later today and he's a taufag. I'm afraid I've been infected by /tg/s Tau hate. How do I keep calm and not spout Tau hate memes at him? he has a riptide wing, maybe a stormsurge

Yup. But the list that won the tournament wasn't deathstar. It had Lion's blade and RW auxiliary. What is significant about this it wasn't the almighty WS battlecompany.

*looks at his 24 Black Knights*

>>48336297
Son, you need to remember that 40k existed more than 10 years ago.
Historically, space marines were mid tier at best outside specific setups that were basically army counters. Wolves, bangles et al were the not shit marines. Hell, Codex Ultramarines, the original sm book, was bottom tier on release.
Further, Eldar have been a top tier army since the game inception, period.

>>48336776
>MSU Battle Company
>24 Black Knights

Why so WAACy?!
How many Darkshrouds do you run?

>>48336822
Well it isn't as though I would bring 24 Black Knights to each game (Since its 120pts per 3) but sometimes we play pretty big games and getting to play 4000 points of Ravenwing with no LoWs has been a fun challenge.
Also my meta has multiple circles in it, there are some that play for fluff and others for crunch. My shop and those I play with are really good about talking before a match about what they want to do and its pretty easy to see who belongs with which group.

I have 3 Dark Shrouds and Zero Land Speeder Vengeance.

Hell. I like Pyrovores and hope they'd be good. Give them Torrent and the shit pretty much is fixed and makes them actually scary fuckers.

Man I'd love some of those Russian SoBs, but I don't want to eliminate the possibility of me ever using them at my LGW.

>>48338123
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that anywhere that doesn't allow alternate models/parts/etc isn't worth playing at. There's so much cool stuff out there which you can use to customise your army, and several instances where non-GW people make outright superior models (Grishnak, Victoria Miniatures, etc).

There are now some excellent and modern SoB models, as well as very similar looking stuff from other places. You've got a choice between that and ~15 year old stuff from GW, a company who doesn't even sell the main tank for the army any more.

hum... i have some questions.

1) Anything like the '9the age' around for 40k?

2) What do you do after quitting 40k, being happy playing infinity and stuff, but having around 2 big painted 10.000 armies in the basement ?

3) any promising alternative rules ? going warpath to use you eldar ?

4) desperately in search of a way to use my 40k armies outside of gw-realm.

>>48338268
I've been digging shit out of my attic, getting it painted and using the Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules for it. Still based on the current edition's rules and it's for small, 250pt forces but it gets the game away from superheavies and other super units, refocusing it on smaller teams of infantry. You're looking at a dozen models or so for a force mostly made up of elite/well kitted troops while the likes of IG and Tyranids can chuck 20-30 bodies onto the field if they want to.

If I buy the start collecting for IG and Tempestus can I run both of them as a single IG CAD without needing to bring in the tempestus units as an allied detachment?

>>48338268
1) I've mainly seen people going back to older versions and homeruling newer units back in. There's at least a few people who advocate going back to 3rd/4th on /tg/. There's also one page 40k, which is pretty good if trimmed down version of 40k. Works well for larger games.

2) If you've quit all 40ks (homerules, PnP RPGs, current and prior editions) probably sell them on. Fund whatever hobby you're still enjoying. Sounds like you want to 40k, but just need a less fucked rules system. In which case, see 1.

>>48338268
9th age only came about when gw nuked fantasy and pissed people off. It wasn't enough though as those who still play eighth edition fantasy absolutely despise 9th age. Also others don't like it either so it doesn't really rally people together. If anything if it happens to 40k it'll divide everyone even more.

>>48338100
I like a lot of the stuff too. Maleceptor especially, shame its absolute wank.
T-fex, toxicrene, swarmlord, haruspex, exocrine, biovore and more are just not good enough.
And even dakka flyrant spam isn't quite good enough as its only 6 S6 shots.
But hey, casting lots of psychic and assaulting people who don't know how good genestealers are in close combat is fun.
And that genestealer cult formation.
Infiltrate into 1" of enemy, and assault T1.

Do people actually play with the "psyker can only cast a number of powers equal to their mastery level" cause around my area nobody enforces that so any psychic heavy lists go ham with casting powers.

>>48335881
Yeah inquisition goes well with GK. We have a distinct lack of anti-air, and high str, low ap though. Our internal balance is pretty bad, but we have got the best models and everyone has stormbolters and force swords standard, so it's all worth it.

Yes there are rules for those unit in the IG codex ,but you would probably get more use out of them if you ran them as their formation instead.

>>48338471

Yes, I play Tzeentch daemons and following the rules is preferable to cheating.

>>48338663
Because the enginseers don't want people messing with their blessed machines, they themselves don't want to anger the machine spirit, and the xenos forces probably don't use the same programming languages as humans.

So in order to plant a virus on, say, a Tau battle network, you would need to A) Study Xenos technology for years to understand how it works B) Study imperial tech and how it works C) Create a code that can function on both types of computers and D) Also slip past the xenos military-grade malware protection.

All while avoiding getting tried for tech-heresy. Possible? Yes. But only by very influential inquisitors.

>>48338358
sound good. I obivously just need some players. I'll check out the local non gw-store-scene and hope to find some players for such a ruleset.

I like this idea a lot. I'll have a look in the online archives. maybe 4th edition is a good idea.

>>48338426
It's somehow sad, because the 9th age thing feels so compelling, like the linux of 40k. would be so great to have a more or less official working ruleset which allows for alternative models etc.

Got myself a fuckton of Slaneesh Demons yesterday. They look cool, the original owner was a mono-slaneesh guy, and quite the painter. They are pretty, so I wouldn't want to change much, and I am terrible with a brush, so I could never get new models to make them look quite as good.

I had a small Tyranid army (around 800 points, give or take), but never had the patience to model and paint, so I planned on switching to Demons of Slaneesh. How do they work on their own? What should I use, and in what amount? There are, like, 900+ models here, not even exagerating, so I can't just use what he had.

I planned on asking his old friends, whom I will likely play some games with this weekend, but I would like to have an idea of what I should focus on. This book has a bit too many options, and I can't figure out what to pick.

>>48338434
>And even dakka flyrant spam isn't quite good enough as its only 6 S6 shots.
Its 12 shots anon. You can give them 2 pairs of TL-devoureres. 12 BS4 twinlinked S6 shots are actually prettu gud, especially when you also have haywire-flamer for toasting knights and other stuff.

High level magos's actually know how to hack stuff on mindbending speeds. But its part superstition and heresy.

There are also chaos corrupted techno-viruses and other weird stuffs. For instance, countermeasures on Ghostkeels hack enemy targeters and stuffs. Even on Ork weapons..

>>48338942
Not very, they're pretty strong and flexible but it may cost you a bit to get all the models.

>>48338859
If You are using a keeper of secrets or a daemon prince make sure to give them some greater rewards for survivability, max psyker levels for malefic powers, and give one of them the soulstealer artifact from curse of the wulfen. Daemonettes are pretty fun as are the chariots you have available especially with multiple d6 hammer of wraths. The Soulgrinder is also a viable option.

Ghostkeels can jam iron sights

>>48339024
I'm thinking all four. I like Slaneesh and Nurgle, so they both get in. I like what Tzeentch lets you do with dice, so he comes in, along with fateweaver. And at this point, it just seems appropriate to bring in Khorne.

My instinct is that all four would present the most warpstorm resilient army, based on diversification.

I haven't gone too in depth into the codex though, so I'd welcome your thoughts and advice.

If you are looking for the most warpstorm resistant army just play the daemonic incursion detachment since it lets you +/-1 to your warpstorm result and lets you hold objectives without leaving troops behind. I personally play mono-Tzeentch but I have found slaneesh fun as well. I haven't played any nurgle lists and If you want mono-khorne I'd just play KDK instead for the bloodtithe mechanic and acess to space marines.
