Naval Timeline Edition
Four Castellum Strongholds Sub-Edition
In the last thread we saw how one IWfag is building his marheens, Anons discussed their favorite MK and old Scorpius Rounds, go go Blood Angels, we discussed how long the Horus Heresy should be when the new timeline was posted, we saw some highly accurate fanart of Pert and Fulgrim, there was talk on the warships of the time, and the KE generator was remade. All of this plus so much more in the last thread >>48327666

What kind of anti-AV 14 should I use in a drop assault vanguard list?
>>
>>48340968
Meltaguns. Armoured ceramite still only helps so much when you drop 10 meltaguns down.
>>
>>48341403
Might as well get any generic S8 weapon, because without armourbane you're not going to penetrate and you're wasting both the armourbane and the AP1 of the meltagun on ceramite AV14.

You'll probably want something like the Primaris-Lightning with Kraken missiles, though you'll only have the one shot with it.

The coolest answer, however, is a Caestus Assault Ram, because its rams are S10 AP2 Ordnance rams, effectively.

There was this thing, some knight heads, some lascannons for the dorito, some legion-specific breacher shields, and some assault cannons for cataphractii.

Probs not. Usually the smell doesn't get through the paint. You hopefully actually paint your minis, right?

Anyone know if they talked about alternate weapons for the Macrocarid Explorator? Irad Engines seem like the most hyped option so it's nice to see them, but the main appeal of the unit is that you can configure it in a ton of different ways. I know "optional weapons" and "FW kits" usually don't go hand in hand without buying them separately but it would be interesting to know.

It's also a little weird they stuck the sponson weapons between the hull and the tracks since it means they're basically hull-mounted for anything that isn't a torrent weapon already. It really limits how effective it can be at aiming at stuff.

no dumbfuck. it would be like sony completely discontinuing all of their consoles, and yet you are a dumb enough cuck to still only buy sony TVs.

So... any guesses as to what the rules will be like for these guys? They look kinda like a 30k take on the Skitarii Arc Rifles, and if 30k has done anything it's take specialist rifles and give them to entire units.

If nothing else it would be a nice way to get lots of pseudo Arc Rifle bits since if you want to deck your army out with them it's kind of a pain in the butt how few you actually get in the kits. Granted, drop pod Skitarii is dead now, so I'm not sure it's worth it either way.

My GW has a set of rules, every model must at least be paint with three colors, doesnt matter what or how just be painted. I assume its the same on all GW shops and while its not actually enforced but it is there to encourage you to paint and help advertise the hobby.

"The Gods had attempted to bind Fenrir twice before with huge chains of metal, but Fenrir was able to break free both times. Therefore, they commissioned the dwarves to forge a chain that was impossible to break. To create a chain to achieve the impossible, the dwarves fashioned the chain out of six supposedly impossible things:
The sound of a cat's footfall
The beard of a woman
The roots of a mountain
The sinews of a bear
The breath of a fish
The spittle of a bird
THE SMELL OF AN ALPHA LEGIONNARIE"

>>48342642
I'm more interested in the Hoplites. Do we have any idea what their weapon rules might be? I would personally like to see some sort of melee/range combo weapon sort of like what the Minotaurs chapter master has (except much weaker).
So
Shield gives a 5++/4++ at range and up close respectively
Spear thing is like 18" range, assault 1, str 6, AP 6
In assault the spear is +1 strength, AP 5
Or at least that would be my take towards the hoplites.

The three-paint rule is pretty standard in tournaments, or so I hear. The other thing I hear is there's not as many Neapolitan-flavored exactly three color armies as you'd think.

Salamanders are uncommon and quite good, though mostly for their special units. Night Lords are the most common of the ones you listed, then Alpha Legion. That shouldn't bother you, but you did ask.

With Thousand Sons it's hard to say because they're likely to take off when the next book comes out - especially if it's true that GW is going to give them the plastic treatment.

They won't be T4 if they're based on Skitarii. The only things that are T4 in Mechanicum are Magos, Tech-Priests are all T3, and T5+ is either Thallax or Archmagos or automata. I also doubt they'll have an armor save better than 4+, so even if they have a good invuln it'll be all they've got going for them.

Best they can hope for is good firepower, really, similar to how Skitarii are.

This isnt 40k, even in the Taghmata you get fucking TOUGHNESS 5 SERVITORS. T4 isnt so unexpected.

Right, but those are are Servo-Automata, not people. Servo-Automata are also different that servitors in that they're not really organic cogitators like 40k servitors are. Anything that's mostly fleshy bits in the Mechanicum army list is T3. Anything that's T5 or higher is either a robot or a brain, heart and a pair of lungs inside a robot. Literally the only thing that's T4 is a stock Magos, either as an HQ or a Tech-Priest upgrade.

Speaking to Blight, he didnt give any stat-wise stuff, but generally they'll get better with size.

Spears are described as lightning weapons... so if the Lightning Gun and Cannon in Taghma is anything to go by; Shred and Rending baby, though probs only shred. Locking-shields was definately a factor according to bligh. They described very much as a bite and hold unit.

Peltasts at full size could drop blind barrages. Had at least 2 profiles (one kinda anti-cover flechette rounds and another HL2 style crossbow bolt kinda deal).

>>48343305
All they did was make it more expensive to bring units larger than 15. I think the message they're sending is that Breachers are intended for Zone Mortalis games, not open field warfare. If you bring a ten man squad they're cheaper, a 15-man squad (max size for Zone Mortalis) they're the same, and any more they become more expensive.

It's kind of lame because the info we had before the new book was that they'd be getting better along with assault marines (and assault marines got WAY the fuck better), but if you think about what they're intended for it's not that surprising.

Yielding only to my calculating mind, I march on, and on, and on.

Thus so I came to know death, as such is the lot borne by those who fear not the butchers tally, nor heed not that which brings Black Death.

The Eye so rightly christened by our father, an eye who's light bleeds out akin to an open wound, fear not father for your sons accept your call.

Forged through conflicts countless in number, bled by cruel strategum and cold deliberation. Your sons have yet to yield, through our lives we make right the injustice done to us, through each shell fired we propell our festering hatred with it, each a sunburst in the darkness, each a cry into the night.

For each of our cadavers a fortress lies in ruin, for each iron without there is an iron within.

From iron cometh strength.
From strength cometh will.
From will cometh faith.
From faith cometh honor.
From honor cometh iron.
This is the unbreakable litany, and may it forever be so.

I like the Ordo Reductor because they're declared near-hereteks/openly hereteks.

Though, Medusas would let me use them in an Ironfire list if I made them IW colors as well.

Tanks and artillery. You get four slots, Krios can be taken in squadrons, and artillery tanks can be given machine spirits (for split firing and pseudo-fast). So, a mix of Krios, Krios Venator and whatever artillery you want to fill the gaps between them. The Krios and Krios Venator are some of the best tanks in all of Horus Heresy and Ordo Reductor get to spam them.

Also remember that your tanks count as scoring units in the enemy deployment zone which is useful for a bunch of the HH core missions. Push your tanks into their shit while using infantry to hold your shit.

The premise is that they where eroded over time by the harshest theatres of war, becoming something entirely different from what they where.

This. Before the finding of Perturabo, most senior IW personnel was killed on a single battle, due to sheer stubborness, for they wanted to prove everyone they were able to do whatever it was necessary to win.
And sadly, they did. Not the most sensible thing to do, but people were stealing their glories.

Silvery blue on green makes me think of Alpha Legion. It works, but you'll want a third contrasting color in small amounts. Color schemes usually need a third color on small accents that draw the eye - it can also be different shades of the same hue (you could use bronze trim and a similar shade of skin tone, for example).

It shouldn't be silver because that's what Alpha Legion usually use.

The great crusade was a time where the imperium was actually on the offensive, and the 2 million marines were called to destroy the monsters that lurked the galaxy.
Ork empires ran rampant back on the day, some posessed better plasma tech than not even the AdMech nor the Tau could ever match, that would shame even Ryza.
Remember Ghazakull, the same size as a Dreadnought? Some ork empires had bigger warlords.
And The Beast (which appeared actually after the Scouring), was said as big as a titan, with Ghazakull-sized Nobs he would kick around for fun.

As it stand right now HH pretty much ignores everything that 7th brought except the special rules, we are still kind of using 6th ed rules.

Depends what the dumbed down rules are, I would welcome that because this game needs a revamp or major streamlining.

WS chart is stupid and anything past WS5 is useless against anything other than other high WS things

Formations, while a fun concept, have been poorly executed and are nothing than a way to cram special rules into shit

Everyone gets so many special rules its stupid, rolling dice then you get rerolls and then more

Now with the flier phase its become an unwieldy game where the opponent sits through a very long turn. Its boring.

I also hate the fact that it has become apocalypse which is why I play 30k where its not that extreme.

Also Eldar, fuck them.

You forgot: Some vehicles are vehicles, other vehicles are monsters, and vehicles are inferior to monsters in every way except vs force weapons and poison.

Psychic phase has become just as bad as 2nd edition Dark Millennium. Needs to be slimmed down in a lot of ways.

Presently all gameplay is based around deep strikes. If you picked a faction that can't deep strike, tough luck. Those factions were only viable when you were allowed to ally in some drop pods.

The rules for assault make assault worthless. You can deep strike and shoot without getting shot at. You can't assault out of most vehicles. Assault troops have no viable options for getting close to the enemy, so you use deep strike to point guns in the enemy's face instead.

Current template rules make horde armies unusable. An army that's just 10 giant robots is a more solid army than any horde, especially if those robots aren't counted as vehicles.

They're very inconsistent about it. Orks had been fighting Eldar, Squats and advanced humans right through the Dark Age of Technology and the Age of Strife, so had many tens of thousands if not millions of years of experience with hi-tech enemies. Even ignoring the Eldar, humans had both dreadnoughts and titans in the Dark Age of Technology (circa 20,000 AD), plus all the technology that implies. Also humans had lots of technology during the Dark Age of Technology that was lost during the Age of Strife and only rediscovered during the Great Crusade if at all, including basic flight and most anti-grav (in fact, most grav) tech.

Orks have at least as many enemies in the current millennium, plus they routinely fight each other, so there's no particular reason that Orks should be any different now to then. While it's a documented (if very old) fact that Orks didn't invent Gargants until after the end of the Heresy, there's no particular reason why they didn't invent them earlier (such inventions are spontaneous to Orks), and it's also well-known that all kinds of knight/titan-sized war machines (such as Stompas) were being made for tens of thousands of years before then.

There have been references to Orks who "stood taller than Dreadnoughts" and that there were Orks that "were capabale of shrugging off heavy weapons fire as if it were rain." Exactly how different this is from 40k is not obvious. Ork models range in size wildly and have been growing steadily for 30 years. Ghazgkull's 3rd Edition model is almost as tall as a dreadnought (they only talk of height, not bulk). A 6+ Feel No Pain save is enough for an Ork to theoretically "shrug off" a Plasma Cannon blast. And so on.

Orks ruled more worlds and possibly more area of space before the Great Crusade. The Eldar suggest (predictable) that they had always kept them in check before the fall; Squat history disagrees with this but it isn't clear if that is still valid.

So we've seen what loyalist members of what are ordinarily traitor legions look like, but what about traitor members of what are ordinarily loyalist legions? What would traitor Iron Hands, Salamanders or Raven Guard look like? How would they have turned from the light of the Emperor and their Primarch? Would they be merely renegades or loyal soldiers of the Warmaster's cause?

I'm looking into ideas for allies for a Scoria-led Legio Cybernetica army (or vice versa) and it occurred to me that traitor Iron Hands could be really cool but I'm struggling with fluff ideas.

Ashen Claws, Terran RG that decided to fuck off and wreck everyone's shit.

IH? Someone who has been fed up with the legion, thinks Ferrus was weak and his legion weaker so this group started to use weird forbidden tech and rolled down the path of heresy.
>>
>>48348147
I do like silver and hazard stripes.
But my idea was to do a tank army that uses Armoured Breakthrough scoring Predators to shore up the lack of mobility and scoring in Legio Cybernetica, and tanks are more of an Iron Hands thing.
I guess Iron Hands could work by being the leftovers from the Xana Incursion zombie marines. If the technology uncovered by the Keys of Hel can make Iron Hands cyber-zombies who's to say that Anacharis Scoria can't figure out a way to possess and enslave the ones that weren't wiped out in the fighting? They'd be kind of like Rubric Marines, but in a different way.
I only need their tanks, anyway

>>
>>48348216
>>48348399
Really, the main thing I like about him is that he has a cybertheurgy power than can affect an entire unit. If we could still use the Cortica Primus on a normal Archmagos Dominus outside campaigns I'd just use that instead. All I'm doing with Scoria is sticking him with five Castellax with Power Blades and making a 990-point I5 death star. I kind of doubt it'll actually be good at all since it's rather slow and in most cases the enemy can just avoid it.

It also occurred to me that if you use him in an allied detachment you can completely skirt the double-edged sword that is his warlord trait. Interesting perk.

I wouldn't expect a worthless tripfag shitposter to understand why faggots are auto-faggots, probably because you're already a faggot.

You're arguing that no one should play Mechanicum anymore because they used to be really good and they have one really good named character in a game that's practically about really good Space Marine characters. Get over yourself. There's armies other than Legiones Astartes in Horus Heresy, they're fun to play, and they're fun to play against. Give it a try some time.

... because Anacharis Scoria escaped. He's the entire reason why Xana II literally goes to hell.

It's also implied that the bestial automata that erupt from under the earth that actually clear out the remainders of the loyalist incursion were his minions - he was imprisoned beneath the surface of the planet, and hyper-aggressive, intelligent, bestial automata are his signature units.

>>
>>48349209
Yeah, it's been talked about a lot in the previous threads. The changes are a bit weird but also interesting in some ways.

Stubborn is a straight downgrade from Fearless, but Fearless on a stock unit with no special characters was a bit weird. I don't think many people even used Fearless to begin with so it hardly matters as no one is going to use this either.

WS5 is vastly better than Furious Charge, and makes them actually quite good as an assault unit. Of all the changes this was the only one that not only seems like an improvement but is actually a good idea.

+1 on AP rolls is a lot worse than Tank Hunters, but it may still have some value. It's a little weird since it's +1 to the actual roll to penetrate, not the vehicle damage table. That means that it's effectively doing things like turning your missile launchers into S9, Plasma Guns into S8 and your Heavy Bolters into S6 if they're firing at vehicles. Re-rolling would still be better, but since you can get Tank Hunters conferred to the unit by other means it may end up having some interesting synergies. Granted, you only get one heavy/special weapon per five marines, so it's probably not worth it regardless.

Sniper was already the most common setup for Veteran Tactical squads by far, and now it also has Outflank? What the fuck? The most all-around solid choice just got even better.

Last option straight up just is the same as Monster Hunter. Why isn't it just the USR? Confusing, but whatever, doesn't matter.

Still, you can do some really stupid and silly things with this. Stormlord with two full units of Iron Havocs inside? Or two full units of Tyrants for even more missiles? Granted, they'd cost more than the tank they're in, but it would make for one ridiculous dakka bunker.

Macharius variants (fluffwise local variants of tanks), Crassus variants (same), sub orbital strike wings (so avengers and marauders and shit), and minotaurs (double earthshaker).

Eh, if a rarely-taken option is now going to be even more rare that's a poor design choice. I would've made Resolve grant Fearless, and friendly units within 3"/involved in the same combat get Stubborn.

A Death Guard player pointed out when the rules were first announced that his Power Axe+Rad Grenade strategy melted thanks to the loss of Furious Charge, as the unit can no longer ID T4; plus Furious Charge isn't pushing the boundary of one's ability to hurt vehicles, although the Tank Hunters replacement practically makes up for that. In most cases however WS5 is a big plus.

Don't forget that +1 means Bolters can glance AV 11 and pen AV 10. A unit of vets can gear for light vehicle hunting and put the non-special bolter shots to use.

Putting Outflank into Sniper was just... what. I would've put it into Furious Charge before. Now I don't know. Maybe Veterans pick one "big" rule and one "small" rule from lists of 5 each, with other small rules including Move Through Cover, Adamantium Will etc.?

What tickles me is why they called Xenohunters that when it's literally only human-built robots and daemons that will eat the rule? Couldn't they have called it Giant Slayers and expanded the rule to included Walkers or something? Maybe let the player choose one of (Monsters, Walkers, Superheavies, Beasts/Cavalry, Jetbikes), to represent the diversity of weird aliens out there?

Oh snap, I just checked the USR section. Unless my eyes decieve me, Monster Hunter is rerolls to HIT, not wound. It's a different effect, so you could somehow stack it. Monster Hunter is still the better rule in general.
