Nah fuck you man. I'm not going to keep throwing plasma at a 4+ horde just for the sake of it. For fuck's sake they still fulfil the exact same role, CSM in Rhino harass enemy infantry and the Chosen create area denial with the threat of special weapons vomit. 8/10 troll for making me reply in new general.

Do you tell your opponent what you do before you play, or are you a lair as well as a cheat?

>>49562385
Do they need anything other than Flesh Hooks? Even those have became more redundant because of the Cult Ambush

They only lost:

Makes sense for them to lose them

>>49562465
Looks like it, though its a good move for them.

Those arms made actually getting into b2b contact on 25mm a pain. At least now things will be a little easier.

I was wanting to play knights and wanted to know if Dark Angels would go good with them. Has anyone done this before? Have the knight be the big gun while the angles get rid of any thing that hurt it while still being good units.

>>49562438
Available for the low price of $149.99!

>>49562572
Awesome. I got like 40-ish Genestealers from Space Hulk. Might have to get them up and running.

Where exactly do you draw the line when it comes to being prepared vs. list tailoring? If you know you're going up against a horde army, is bringing more flamers than usual an acceptable practice?

Do we know what the Webber and Web pistol do yet?

>>49562671
Personally, unless its a special scenario, i say any changes are tailoring really: you bring a good all comers list, or whatever the meta is, and leave it how you wrote it. My local has a rules that you have to write your list and give to an opponent before the game.

Unless its some fucking 4 knight faggot
then you can got for it

Soooo, anybody got the full dex?

>>49562687
12/16 range, str 3/4 both are small blast, ap=str of target

>>49562671
Always ask your opponent. That we he can tailor his list too. He playes IG? Suprise, all tanks! You know he might bring tanks and he knows you know? Ha! All infantry!

In the end just inform your opponent about this and decide if you want to tailor lists or not. Two-way tailoring makes the game more fair.

>>49562671

Only exceptions is if I bring my Anvil Strikeforce I'll let my opponent know I'm bringing more vehicles than usual.

>>49562615
All 'normal' games around here are played on a 4 by 4. 4 by 6 sounds like apoc.

>>49562752
>>49562720
Sounds like a lot of effort just to take down maybe one or two marines per shot.

>>49562798
Enfeeble brings down T as well no? if so then 4 webbers could whipe a squad. not amazing i will admit, but certainly amusing.

>>49562671
>>49562701
I think changing squad weapons like >>49562378 wants to is okay, when you start swapping out entire units because they're more effective against specific foes that's crossing the line.

>>49562691
Way back in 4e there was a Tau player that had a literal notebook full of army list variations for specific foes and tactics. You'd say "I play X" and he'd flick through to his anti-X list and that'd be what he'd play. I wonder where he is now and if anyone ever punched his smug fucking face in.

>>49562798

You're absolutely right, it's still kind of a neat trick though. We don't usually see stuff that goes off of a modified stat.

>>49562765
...What? What manner of normal games you play, 1000pts? 6x4 is normal size for 1500-2000 games. Apoc is even bigger.

>>49562809
And considering if the webbing team takes causalities you can Return to the Shadows to replace them.

Especially if you roll a 5 for double shooting.

Effective? Not terribly. I'd give them a C
Hilarious tho, bunch of mutants appearing from a sewer, webbing up a squad of marines and then jumping away... like an evil spiderman

>>49562755
Since the plastic modular table are too expensive and unpractical for most people, and seeing the success of other companies with their battlemats, I say it's very probable we'll see all kind of mats soon enough.

GW will destroy all the other companies by share distribution power alone if they do so.

>>49562824
This was back in the days when tau were arguable the most taliorable lists, with all those spcial weaons

>>49562844
Speaking of which, is 1,5k doable on 4x4? That's about the biggest I can get at home.

Still can't decide between adding Space Wolves, which would be a nice change of aesthetics, or a Lion's Blade Strike Force, which would feel more fluffy and less WAACy, to me current Raven/Deathwing army.

Any suggestions for either option?

The Spacewolves would probably end up being in their Start Collecting formation with a beefed up TWC unit and ThunderWolf Lord with the eventuality of a wulfen pack.

The Lion's Blade would probably be small Tac Squads shoved in Rhinos because they are the only SM Troop Transport I like.

Is it possible to choose named commander (like R'Alai or R'Myr) in Tau Retaliation Force or there can be only Generic/Farsight?

>>49562911
I wouldn't do anything over 1000pts on a 4x4, and even that is far from ideal.

>>49562911
>1,5k on 4x4
That shit ain't even drive up and shoot at each other, that's deploy and shoot at each other.

>>49562949
If you currently have ravenwing and deathwing, then supplement your army by getting the parts for the lions blade. It will give you more flexibility in the future.

Also DA have fast melee bikes, good shooting and can easily use many of their models to run a 30k version of themselves. If you are going to start another army, don't make it another marine army.

>>49562949
Wolves and danks hate each other, so stick with more emos than furries

only what the formation specifically says you can bring.

Forgeworld (usually) says its all okay to include their speical characters as replacements for their generic counterparts in formations, but you'll need some sort of proof of that (usually they respond to emails)

>>49563022

Although I havent seen 30k in my area I was going to get B@C because I thought those tacticals looked cooler than the regular ones.

Can you go over the differences between this and XV-109 Y'vahra Battlesuit?

Because from skimming through. It looks like you took the best of the Y'vahra and merged with the best of the classic (+1 W, option for 3++)

Single Canister for the Plasma Flamer is AP3 not AP2.

Your Nova Reactor gives you an option for a Jink Save OR a 3++... aka the 3++ is superior in every way. I'd personally drop the 3++

>>49563267
I'd personally say the ork codex is reasonably written.

The issue is that the metagame sucks because there's no driving "theme" they excel at in order to be a good WAAC tourney army.

Every unit is "alright" and nothing works perfectly together.
It's like a real military.

The super-duper niche themed armies that are only good at 1-2 things are the real anti-hobby armies.

>>49563224
>play daemons
>no one has any idea what to expect

>>49563236
Yeah, I drew a lot from the Y'vahra because I hate gun line tau and I wanted it to have the mobility to get close to the enemy.

One of the things that kind of bothered me a bit about the Y'vahra was imagining it just flying around turning off tanks with the haywire effect rather than absolutely destroying them like a melta would. Its kind of trivial but it was enough to make me try to create something.

I'd also like it to be potentially be something stronger so I can stay away from things like the stormsurge when fielding more expensive units.

>>49563267
Because you like them.
The only valid reason to play any faction

>>49563224
Orks are the most normie faction.
What assumptions could you make?

Tau are literally weeaboo-material.
Mecha suits, stereotypically pseudo Confucian mentality, etc...

>>49563295
Couple reasons.

Because the only Riptide with the 3++ is the classic

His seems to be based off the XV-109 Y'vahra Battlesuit which Nova is a 3++ in close combat only.

I've always personally attributed the 3++ to the little shield arm the classic has.
His has two weapons (presumably one on each arm like all the Forgeworld variants)

Also just looked... his variant has a 4++ for attacks outside of 12", making even the jink kinda useless

>>49563242
>>49563286
>>49563267

There's a big problem with Orks, the codex became: No fun allowed the book.

You can't even play the fucking established klanz and i don't even mean 'Chapter taktikz' so let alone play any homebrew or any alternate ideas

Want to play Goffs? Okay, but their mob rule punishes you even more and the formations are all shit
Snakebites? Lol nope, Squigs/Cyboarz don't exist
Evil sunz? No biker Troops and we took out Wazdakka because Fuck you
Blood-axes? too bad Kommandoz are terrible.
Defskulls? Okay to be fair Lootas are decent, but enjoy spamming one unit + maybe some Tanks
Bad Moons? Do i even need to bring up Flash gitz.

>>49563284
Thanks for catching my error on the Plasma Flamer.

The jink save could stack with its existing shield save while the 3+ would replace it. The main reason the jink is there is because it came with the Y'vahra rules and since I'm basing it off that it'd make sense to keep it there just for the sake of consistency.

>>49563335
I saw that. My biggest gripe is right now it looks like a XV-109 Y'vahra Battlesuit+1

+1 W, better Novacharge options, double Flamers, so 4S6 AP2 Templates a turn (At -1 Toughness at that)

Only thing left to be seen is 4 18" Meltas are superior to 3+d3 S8 AP3 Haywire hits.

Personally If I were you just the XV-109 Y'vahra Battlesuit an option to replace the Haywire Gun with eithe Plasma Flamer or your Meltacannon.

And make the -1 T the Nova Charge for the Plasma Flamers

>>49563197
>doesn't instagib the other army on turn 1

Nope, didn't know there was a facebook page but I'm not surprised since slapping meltas on a y'vahra seems like a pretty logical progression.

>>49563335
Also you said you based it off of XV-109 Y'vahra Battlesuit. But its shield generator is 5++ to 4++ for attacks WITHIN 12", which is why it has the option to Jink to get a 4+ Save for attacks outside 12"

but yours is 5++ to 4++ for attacks OUTSIDE 12"

Is this intentional?

Better yet, /tg/ played with the idea a few years ago of Orks loyal to the Imperium, getting around in a ship that's an Ork's best approximation of a battle barge, and their achievements were chalked up to a strange, brash chapter of Space Marines with a green livery.

Do Storm Bolters use Special Issue Ammunition?

>>49563747
Lets try this exercise.
Lets take all these fuckoff huge tau suits, and convert them into a TANK profile, like they should have been in the first place

>>49563793
No, but tac. termintors should be able to

>>49563800
Better yet, let's take all these fuckoff huge Tau suits, throw them in the trash, and replace them with the aircraft Tau were originally supposed to use instead.

>>49563747
I haven't actually, but new that you mention it they both seem like they could provide an opportunity for some interesting new units.

>>49563793

No, which is stupid, because Sternguard have to pay MORE to get storm bolters when they get special issue ammunition standard bolters for free.

I was thinking 350 to 400 points. It's got more shots than the standard y'vahra but I figured armored ceremite would give IoM vehicles a better chance of surviving this than they'd have against haywire.

Anon, what DOESN'T the suit do well. Like Jesus Christ, why does it have literally everything good? Why does it have an AP2 flamer that can fire twice at a 6" torrent? And, it flies around like a FMC, with 5 wounds, T6, and a 2+/4++, and can buy FnP? What drugs are you on?

>Apocalypse had swallowed the system’s worlds, spreading its ruinous touch over everything these mortals had sworn to protect. Calamity was rendered down into reams of scrolling data, whispered reports, and holographic projections gathered by the flagship’s sensors. It was not the ravaged devastation of the ork, nor the voracious consumption committed by the tyranid hive fleets. Artemis and Sekor both had served alongside the Inquisition, and they knew the after-effects of cyclonic torpedoes when they saw them. All life on each of the planets had been extinguished. Their surfaces had been set aflame, burned away to glass and barren rock. It could have only been the result of the rarest and most extreme of measures taken by the Imperium.

>Exterminatus.

>A weapon of last resort used when all other conventional measures had failed, exterminatus was invoked to kill a world in the case of overwhelming infestations by xenos or daemonic cults. To perform such total destruction of a world was a calamity. To invoke exterminatus across an entire system was beyond belief. Yet the proof of it surrounded Artemis as the Claw of Damyrov made its way to the system’s core.

Those hormagaunts are a thousand times better than what we have now, what are you even saying?

I'll give you the Zoanthropes though. And the Warriors for sure. The old Hive Tyrants actually weren't bad but the new ones are a faithful adaptation to the modern aesthetic so I have no problem running them. Carnifexes are a toss-up, both are amazing models and it's hard to choose.

>One by one, he felt them die. It was a grievous thing, to watch a comrade fall in battle. To see the men and women you had bonded with through hellish trials go limp within the storm of bullets and blades. But to experience it as a physical sensation, to feel the link they shared with you sever without warning – that was something else entirely.

>Balas, Patriarch of the Knights of House Merovic, felt every one of his brothers and sisters die. He felt their armour shatter against the howling gale of exploding bombs and boiling acid. He felt the hot wind rake their skin as they were dragged down. He felt the tear and bite of hundreds of claws and crude blades as their sacred forms were carved open. He felt the cold void that took their place, when their hearts beat their last.

>Balas was linked to his Knight through the archeotech of its throne mechanicum, as were the others of his lineage. Damage to their hallowed armour manifested through neural interface ports and spinal sockets as physical pain within the bodies of the pilots. They felt every blow, every glancing strike, every deep cut. When another Knight fell in battle, it rippled across the others of its order, wracking them with spasms of agonizing sorrow. Balas felt this over and over, as the xenos stole their light from the world.

>A spasm of white-hot pain assailed Balas as he thrashed upon his cockpit throne. He was bleeding so profusely from a dozen points he could taste the metal in the air. His battle cannon was starved of ammunition, little more than a cudgel now as he smashed it into the hordes of gnashing aliens. His chainsword was so caked in inhuman gore that its teeth could no longer turn.

>Tyranids running from Stormcasts is the price for a good Blood Bowl 40,000 game

>>49564124
Exterminatus has always been rare. The Imperium doesn't use it unless there's absolutely no nope of the world being retaken in the future, or the cost of using it is offset by the chance to kill an enemy that might go on to slaughter dozens of other worlds. It's just overplayed in the fiction, because it's such a dramatic, climactic event.

>>49564286

>>49564334
Except when Tyranids are involved.

Tyranid fluff sees more uses of Exterminatus mentioned than basically every other Faction combined. There were something like 200 of them issued during the first wave of Leviathan alone, and 80 just against genestealer cults in the past 100 years from the current point on the timeline.

>>49564296
I didn't realize the Y'vahra could shoot at stuff in the air. I'll have to adjust that so that, that is no longer the case. Also I didn't intend for it effect Instant Death but the rule already existed and I just copied it in so I'll have to fix that.

>>49564360
That's true. But if the Tyranids win on a world, it's lost forever to the Imperium anyway. So Exterminatus became something of a standard scorched earth policy to deny the victorious swarms biomass.

>>49564346
No. All that "Tyranids might be running from something" shit was a throwaway line from the 4th ed Codex from an Imperial scholar just outlining all the worst possible case scenarios involving Tyranids.

The Outside is a separate thing entirely and it was said that Leviathan was FOLLOWING it, not running from it. And that's not even been mentioned in ages so it's probably on the retcon pile with all the other stupid shit that tries to connect Tyranids to C'Tan/Old Ones/any other already existing source instead of letting them just be a Faction that originated on its own in another galaxy like was the original intent.

>>49564370
Anon, do the Tau REALLY need another giant suit? Why not make some Auxillary races, or some vehicles that aren't ass?

>>49564383
Yeah, not saying it's a bad thing, just pointing out that if somebody's exposure to 40k fluff is mainly through the lens of the Imperium vs Tyranid facet of the overall universe they're going to think Exterminatus is a more common thing.

>>49564391
Nope, but this is more about me wanting to know that tanks are actually getting blown up rather than just having their power turned off.

>>49564389
>No. All that "Tyranids might be running from something" shit was a throwaway line from the 4th ed Codex from an Imperial scholar just outlining all the worst possible case scenarios involving Tyranids.

Omniscient narrator, you mean. The thing was copypasted in the 5th ED and 6th ED nid codex.

>The Outside is a separate thing entirely and it was said that Leviathan was FOLLOWING it, not running from it.

This Tyranidfag is so triggered he is making stuff up.

The Oldcron codex shows the Dyson Sphere the Outsider is speculated to be sleeping in on a space map. The Space map shows movements of Leviathan's tendrils also. Guess what? The Tendrils are giving the sphere a wide berth. They are literally smashing into reach other's path to get as much space away from it.

This can be explained by the fact that some C'tan produce a great psychic shadow that might disturb psychic activity. The Hivemind being a psychic construct wouldn't want its tyranids near that thing.

>>49564389
>The Outside is a separate thing entirely and it was said that Leviathan was FOLLOWING it, not running from it.

Not even that. Leviathan just diverted its path around the Outsider's dyson sphere. Because, despite what people seem to think, the Hive Mind isn't dumb and it's not going to mindlessly attack a giant lump of non-digestible metal just because that's what's closest.

>>49562438

5th and 6th ed are Cruddexes, their canonicity is objectively a joke.

>This Tyranidfag is so triggered he is making stuff up.
>implying I'm triggered
>implying their wasn't an old, now outdated source of fluff that said there were sightings of Leviathan following an unidentified spherical object of unknown possibly C'Tan origin
I don't remember what book it was, may have been 3rd ed nids, may have been buried somewhere in the fluff section of 4th ed or 5th ed main rulebook.

>>49564463
>the Hive Mind isn't dumb and it's not going to mindlessly attack a giant lump of non-digestible metal just because that's what's closest.

The Tendrils didn't just pass it. The Imperials noted that the fleet made significant changes to their paths to avoid the thing.

If it was a harmless celestial object, then the Tyranids would just pass it by without altering their flight paths in such a noticeable way.

>>49564277
Technically, all Orks are female anyway.

Unless one is injecting genes into another, there's no males. By definition the gender that pays the high energy tax of producing the bulk of a new life is female.

There can be species of only females, there cannot be a species of only males.

>>49564484
>5th and 6th ed are Cruddexes, their canonicity is objectively a joke.

We are dealing with facts, not opinions here. That line is copypasted from one codex to the next.

>I don't remember what book it was, may have been 3rd ed nids, may have been buried somewhere in the fluff section of 4th ed or 5th ed main rulebook.

Triggered enough to make things up.

There is only one source for it and it's the Oldcron codex. What's in it is exactly what I said. The Tyranids weren't going after it. They were avoiding it.

>>49564502
Orks have spores on them that appear in the form of warts on their skin. The warts contain foetuses of all Orkiod lifeforms. They are basically walking life seeds.

But there is a problem. How it's possible for the Orks to maintain a healthy genetic diversity with that mode of reproduction?

>>49564488
>The Imperials noted that the fleet made significant changes to their paths to avoid the thing.

Yes, which is why I said that they diverted around it.

Right. Female. Like trees.

>But there is a problem. How it's possible for the Orks to maintain a healthy genetic diversity with that mode of reproduction?
Constant rapid mutation, partially caused by environment. They adapt to planets after all.

Autism question incoming:

What's the precise color scheme of the Deathwatch?

Kill Team Cassius seems to have the right pauldron with the badge of the chapter, with a black trim.

NOTE: The badge of the chapter is NOT what the marine normally has on the left side, but the actual logo of the chapter. This is well seen on the Space Wolf character, that has the logo of the Space Wolves chapter, not that of his individual company (that is what he'd normally wear). This is also why the veteran sternguard Ultramarine doesnt have a white trim on the shoulderpad, instead the black trim all share.

HOWEVER, looking at picrelated, all Deathwatch guys seem to have the pauldron they originaly wore before becoming deathwatch, with no black trim, meaning company colors are still displayed.

Is this a fuckup by GW? Which is it? Chapter logo + black trim on the right, or original left shoulderpad on the right (with all the appropriate original company colors etc...)?

>>49564780
Varies, in lore they occasionally litteraly take the cauldron from their old armour and move to the DW suit.

>>49564710
>>49564731

Ouch, pretty limited huh.

>>49564780
Left arm is silver for DW (current chapter), right arm is parent chapter, no other organizational markings.

>>49564780
Consider that Killteam Cassius existed over 250 years before current point in the 40k timeline.

You can easily headcanon that, during that era, Deathwatch used the convention displayed on that Killteam, but over the following centuries at some point they altered it to what is now shown.

>>49564578
Honestly Genestealer Cults can have a high level of kitbashing / conversion potential as well

>>49564830
>>49564821
>>49564803

Id actually prefer the black trim version, because that way the right pad is ONLY indicative of the chapter, not of rank within that chapter.

Also, it'd make sense for the chapter symbols that are assymetrical, since the DW box comes with symbols that would otherwise be backwards if fitter correctly to non-DW marines.

>>49564857
And better rules.

>>49564578

Orks are extremely repetitive.

Chaos, IG, anything Space Marines, Tyranids and the new Genestealer Cults all have massive converting / modelling potential.

>>49564857

True, but I think Orks in tone encourage more variety and light-hearted "fun". If that makes sense.

>>49564895
I agree. I think the real heart and soul of the Ork faction is supposed to be light-hearted mayhem. You get a lot of players complaining about "randumb" tables for Orks but really they should have fucktons of those, it's just that those tables should have more effects that are enjoyable for the Ork player and less shit like Mob Rule that just punishes you.

Regardless of what's the fluff I'm going to convert a hound hybrid for my cults arbitres

>>49564971
It would result in autistic shut-in hybrids.

They would never rise up and wouldn't draw in the main fleet because that would mean interacting with others.

After a few generations they would have invented volcano cannons that fit inside a jacket button.

How bad off are the Blood Angels nowadays? Would it be a mistake to start them in a casual meta where I'd often be playing against Necrons, Eldar, and Tau?

>But do Genestealers infect non sapient creatures?
I have no idea about what canon says about that, but it wouldn't make sense if they couldn't. Their purpose is to highlight worlds rich with life for the Tyranids, would the sapience of the life matter?

Thoughts - is upgrading to psychic mastery 2 worth it for GSC HQs?

25 points for an extra die and power...

I'd only be running the Patriarch and the Magus.

>>49565475
>Thoughts - is upgrading to psychic mastery 2 worth it for GSC HQs?

It's almost ALWAYS worth it on ANY psyker, so I can only assume it will be just as useful on them.

Felinids are still canon right?

Also did anybody save that one bait pic?

>>49565501
Thanks. I'm kinda new to the game and still figuring things like this out.

>>49565250
They're the weakest Chapter but they aren't unplayably bad or anything, especially considering as Imperials they have access to the biggest and most effective ally toolbox to handle any problem through Inquisitors, Assassins, IG, etc.

thoughts on interesting genestealer cult conversions?

was thinking about making some aberrants using ork nobs

also looking for ways to modify the guard minis to make them look more interesting and above everything else something to make the sentinel look more of a mining machine

>>49565475
Yes and always. GSC's own lore of spells is very good. You also should always take the relic familiar giving you +1 spells.

So, regarding the earlier Tau suit homebrew, I also had a homebrew for Orks and wanted to know your thoughts.

Mekboy Speedsta:
BS 3 FA 13, SA 12, RA 10, Type: Chariot, Fast, Open-Topped.
Equipment: 2 Kannons.
Point Cost: 65. Taken as a Chariot for a Big Mek.
Options: May replace the Kannons with any other Mek Gun, paying the appropriate difference in points.
Special Rule: Mobile Mekshop: The Big Mek may measure from the base of the Speedsta for any abilities including using a Promethium Fuel Relay, radiating a KFF Field, making repairs with a B2B vehicle, etc.

The idea is for it to be a highly customizable platform which can either be taken "cheap and cheerful" as a fast Predator-equivalent, or upgraded to practically be an Ork MBT (give the Mek a SAG and have him target stuff) or mini-Command Barge (as you could always just give your Mek Mega-Armor)...but you don't get T5 base nor do you get a Phase Shifter.

>>49565250

Use 30k rules. You'll have a slightly competitive army.

>>49565515

ML1 is not terribly useful as far as Psykers are concerned, mostly just nice when you can get a lot of them for the extra warp charges they provide.

ML2 lets you take multiple disciplines on the same Psyker, or increase the odds of rolling a desirable power in a specific discipline.

>>49565515
Np, biggest reason it's good is redundancy.

Take Biomancy for example it has one great power (Endurance), three good powers (Iron Arms, Warp Speed, and Enfeeble), one mediocre power (Lifeleech), and one crap power (Hemorrhage).

At mastery 1 you only have one die to get the power you want if you roll Lifeleech / Hemorrhage, (by comparison) your Psyker is trash.

Now with level two you have two chances (rerolling duplicates). Not perfect. But in general the higher the level the easier you can "guarantee" you generate the power you need/want.

>>49565552
>Chariot

Why not just classify it as a vehicle?

If I don't really care about having to win all the time, are Tau actually fun to play? I like the robot suits and most of the FW sculpts. But if they're just shoot jump shoot, I'll probably just do Tyranids instead.

>>49565554

Did they get their glut of rules yet, or just the initial formation and whatnot?

>>49565663
They are actually jump shoot jump so you are in luck.

Tau can be ran casually but if you are going with a full suit build it won't be easy and people will judge just by seeing the army laid out.

>>49565664
They have legion rules and Rites of War, just no legion specific units or characters yet.

>>49565602
change it to a transport vehicle, and change the mobile mekshop to read "if a mek is embarked, it can..."

>>49565680
I play exclusively with my friends who won't give a shit what the army composition looks like. But if it's inherently OP without even trying, I'll just stick to Nids.

Is anyone actually planning to roll Biomancy/Telepathy on their GCult? As far as I'm concerned Broodmind is just too fucking good to not take every time. Summoning free squads of guys with all the expensive upgrades you don't want to pay for, which can then replenish themselves with Return to the Shadows and the Decurion bonus, mindcontrolling Stormsurges and Riptides to shoot their own friends, buffing squads of 20 guys with +1 Strength and Rage, or debuffing enemies WS, BS, I and A all in one go, it just seems like a much better all around toolkit than rolling Biomancy and hoping you get Endurance or rolling Telepathy and hoping for Invis.

>>49565715
A patriarch tricked out for combat might roll biomancy and hope to roll iron arm or warpseed, but generally Broodmind is the better discipline I think

>>49565602
It's a personalized battle-platform and workshop for the Big Mek. I felt that keeping most special rules and options on the vehicle itself minimal while integrating it with the pre-existing options for the Big Mek give the most modeling/gameplay flexibility with the least amount of "special rule" exceptions. Do you run it "cheap" as a disposable tank hunter, as a KFF "command tank", or as a war chariot or so? A lot of that depends on the Mek himself though.

>>49565715
A blob of invisible purestrains sounds pretty good

But for a magus broodmind is the only way to go

>>49565735
But think about it - do you want Iron Arm/Warpspeed on your Patriarch, or +1 S and Rage on your entire unit of 20 genestealers and Patriarch?

Or, let's say you got the best possible rolls on both tables, would you rather Endurance for 3+ FnP in Acolyte Range (very very good), or summoning another 8 genestealers with scything talons for free (136 pts of models)? That one's a tougher call but unless your FnP saves are saving 9 or more genestealers a turn that you would otherwise lose, I think the summoning is better, not to mention the utility of instead grabbing Neophytes with special/heavy weapons or Acolytes with armourbane gear if you need to crack a vehicle, etc.

>>49565777
>in Acolyte Range
*Iconward range.

>>49565715
Summoned units arent part of formations nor detatchment. They dont get d6 free guys per dissapear.

>>49563835
Barracuda seems not bad.

>>49565805
Source?

It was ruled that termagants spawned by a Tervigon count as being part of that same detachment, I would imagine summoning works the same way.

>>49565715
Biomancy seems really good with the Patriarch. And telepathy could give a shooty unit of Hybrids invisibility to cower behind from a Magus - or Biomancy's Enfeeble can make webbers supper effective.

>>49565805
Pretty sure return from the shadows and cult ambush are USRs that don't require a special detachment, and everything you can summon has them

>>49565805
precedent was set in the tyranid FAQ when summoned gaunts in a CAD got objective secured

>>49565864
the respawn from ongoing reserves is a detachment benifit

Orks are more normie than Ultramarines or most any SM faction?

>>49565777

Summons are awesome but we should remember that they're also WC 2/3. Genestealers are a 3.

I'd rather keep my CC machine healthy and have my more expendable Magus doing the summoning.

>>49563835

Yeah what the happened to the manta? I thought that was the tau choice to fight off titans.

>>49565523
Maybe replace the sentinel's chainblade with the drill from the Ork Killa Kan set?

>>49565917
£1020 price tag is what happened. Rather pay £200'more and get a warlord Titan.

>>49565917
There also Tiger Shark AX-1-0 to deal with titans.

Hrm. Well, I'll look into 30k rules but for the time being: any advice on how to run Blood Angels under their 40k rules?

I see what you did there forgeworld.

>>49564278

If you think Artemis is a literal who you know jackshit about 40k.

Artemis has been around since forever m8, he's one of the most well established space marine characters and the only character the Deathwatch had up until know.

Just because your waifushit marysue orkshit monster died doesnt mean Artemis is a literal who

>>49565841
Summoned daemons units dont get obsec in CAD.

>>49565953

Will you ever stop complayning about Stormsurge? It's not like flyers belong on the normal tabletop. It's a skirmisher game, the most powerful flyer outside apocalypse should be an helicopter.

>>49566070
He is an Inquisitor RPG character that nobody saw as important until they brought him back and set him against established characters like Eldrad and the Overfiend.

>>49566059
Tiger shark has been discontinued hasn't it?

>>49566117
Again, source the rules text.

Bummer, I just ordered some new weapon arms and a Lucius pattern head for my warlord Titan from CCON. He got back to me in 30 mins.

>>49566162
Do an unboxing here.

At the back of the instructions it has the rules for them, can you take a photo of it?

>>49566177
They show the sprues at the GW website you know.

is there any link to CCON catalogue and possible email address? i just have (i think) Z's

>>49566145
Same as >>49566185
CCON is a total bro, and he has a 30% off sale till 10/5.
Still trying to decide one what I want.

Really tempted to by a bunch of tomb blades so I can run 2x5 of them. Also I need Destroyers so I guess I should see if he has those.

>>49566211
He changed emails earlier this year because too many people gave out his.
His gallery and password for it is in those.
I think the last person to get their info on here gave tits and got themselves and the fag that shared it a 1-day ban
I was that faggot.

>>49566211
You want info, go to yoyhammer on Reddit. Those bitches put out like crazy.

Not really, i just got fuck old email adresses.

Be'kan a best.

Genestealers are two weeks.

After that I'm guessing Curse of the Wulfen 2 so guessing CSM releases (if any) and maybe a decurison for GKs
