Hey guys, SoH, militia, and Custode player here. Wanting to get a campaign setup for my normally strict 40k LGS. What do?

I have the istvaan trilogy special edition. I know I'd have at least 2 players for that. But we also have a lot of guard players, tau, and Eldar. How can I setup a campaign without excluding people for the marine only centered istvaan trilogy? I also don't own a lot of Marines I'm mostly a Unending Tide vraks player.
>>
>>50007116
pretty sure all FW dice have the legion symbol as the 6
>>
>>50007237
Nope. They have them on the ones, just like the GW dice.

Only the WE and IW doce have them on the sixes, check for yourself. We complained about that when they were first released.

>>50007175
Make a campaign of your own, the 30k campaign systems are all top stuff but if you're worried about 30k vs 40k then just make sure every player uses the Age of Darkness rules to make an army regardless of their codex.

>I also don't own a lot of Marines I'm mostly a Unending Tide vraks player.

Mix the marines with that and play an Army of Dark Compliance.

>Sixteen high quality 16mm dice, in the colours of the Death Guard. Each die features the Legion’s symbol embossed in place of the six, so your opponent will know when their number’s up!

Hey, where's the Mechanicum army list pdf?
>>
>>50007401
they never changed it

FW dice have it on the 6
GW dice have it on the 1

people bitch about GW dice, but I don't think I've ever seen them bitch about the FW ones, beyond the fact you have to buy them from FW direct

Cataphractii and Mark III Marines, should I paint them before assembly?

I am a painting novice and I don't trust myself to reach all the details once they are assembled.

I am going to try out my skills on a few Armageddon Steel Legion guardsmen before I touch my marines, but I am still curious how you guys do it.

also, the FW resin, how do I prepare it before assembly/painting? Is washing it with soap enough?
>>
>>50008429
Apparently thats a thing that phoneposters are dealing with, malicious redirectors. But they're phoneposters who cant install an adblocker, so not much of value is lost.

>I am a painting novice and I don't trust myself to reach all the details once they are assembled.

I paint like shit so here's my advice for you

>Assemble the minis
>Spray paint it with whatever main color the marines are
>Wash the marine with a wash of the same color as the spray, this adds a certain ammount of depth
>paint the details

DONE! Remember to thin them paints and be patient.

Leave bolters separate.
Possibly backpacks and holstered chainswords as well but it's not as necessary.

Probably good to paint them fully assembled. Only fiddly bit is the head, since they're tucked into the torso.
>>
>>50008566
They're getting unique Destroyers and something else.

Hilariously, their unique Destroyers will in all likelihood be absolutely terrible, seeing as FW usually 'buffs' the base unit and increases their price to offset the difference.

this seems like a way to do it quickly, but not really pretty, I'm sure I can get the minis covered in paint, not sure how well I can get the details obstructed by other parts of the model

>>50008584
the mk III method sounds solid, I think it could work, though I'd better leave the shoulderpads off too.

Cataphractii are my main problem, I'm going to splice them with the larger Combi Bolters shipped with the FW Tartaros Termies, is glueing FW resin with GW plastic a good idea?

also their heads, as you mentioned. but also shoulderpads have me worried

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up!

>tfw realized how deppressingly good DG are at ZM
I mean, it makes sense fluff-wise, but I never realized just how good they are at it. Their Rending Chem-Flamers get +1S because of ZM rules.

Infiltrate is dirty. Being able to control board positions is huge in ZM. And being able to always get the drop on enemy units and chunk them first is great. Infiltrating Destroyers with shredding Rad missiles, Seekers with Combi plas, and Mor Deythan with combi flamers is spooky.

Outflank can come in handy too.

Also their Mor Deythan with rending combi-flamers will rend on a 5+ in void/poisoned air. The scout is great as well.

Termis with furious charge for S9 chainfists to punch out dreads.

Before the second Moritat nerf, the max 12 hits one, Kaedes Nex was king of ZM.
>>
>>50009825
Are ZM chapter rules different? DG chem flamers are shred and gets hot not rending.

Alright, so I'm having a difficult time choosing between Sons of Horus, Death Guard, and Night Lords. I love infantry, don't care much for vehicles, and feel like I should make use of a melee army, as my Salamanders and Word Bearers are very shooty. I can, for the most part, rule out Death Guard, as they're shooty as fuck. It all boils down to the units at this point. Night Lords get bat wings, Terror Squads, and beautiful contemptor and Raptors, while SoH get spikes, Justaerin, and again, beautiful contemptor and Reavers. Can anyone supply me with a reason to do either legion?

Hello newfag.

Doubt that, they're malcador's dudes. Probably just requisitioned local help acting as proto-inquisitors.

Then again I guess after BoP the custodes are sluts working for anyone and everyone, so whatever.

>>50008224
DG, as it's a fun army to make, you have terminators for certain situations, and then flamer suppourt squads with flamers, and because you're deathguard you can kill even tanks with them

Then assemble bolter marines until you have lv9 painting skills, and wait for inferno to drop to see what UW you get, probably Pictish blade or something

Yeah, I know they are Malcador's, but I went more with the Agents of the Emperor thing as they are actually on high importance mission issued by the guy in charge of running the Imperium. However they are meant to join/conscript locals, either marines or militia to fullfil whatever mission they have, but a small retinue of custodes or really beefy IF makes sense to me.

I'm not as fussed because the Mk 4 Phalanx Warders (IF special breachers) have no grills on their Mk 4 helms. So if I convert these heads for some Mk 3 breachers with the shield I have coming from Shapeways they'll fit the Phalanx Warder grill-less aesthetic.

True, if i drop the pod i get a freed up FA slot, and its significantly cheaper than either of the other options. I'll proxy my Xiphon as one next game and see how i like it. Now i just have to figure out how to spend the other 150 odd points
>>
>>50012011
>>50011994
yeah I've been looking at the sicaran as well but the fellblade is a superheavy and has a turret
also its a 2 pt BS upgrade to the fellblade as opposed to 1 pt for the sicaran
>>
>>50012196
except the armourbane one, you're dropping twinlinked shots or big pieplates with every gun, so its not a massive deal. Still can use the BS better than most with that single gun because ranged armourbane is amazing

Doesnt need BS boost, also its an expensive one-trick-pony that everyone will know about after you use it once. Its terrifying, but easily played around to be less of a threat. Who cares though, its CHOOM is fucking godly

>>50012339
If your opponent knows its coming and has experienced its CHOOM before, they'll spread their terminators and light vehicles out of the way, and its unlikely to make back a quarter of its points when shooting its carronade at rhinos/tactical marines. Its a good all-rounder with a cool gun, but usually you'll be better served by the Fellblade as an all-rounder. If you want anti-tank, Falchion or Sicarian Venator, if you want anti-infantry, you're overwhelmed with options. While it is an amazing superheavy, it can be played around to avoid the 600 points of kills as it comes in horror stories. The beam to avoid is the fucking Ordinatus's pie-plate of instant removal.

>>50012659
Anon, the joke of the list is that it fits as many beep boops as possible in one FOC.

That is the maximum amount of beep boops in a Legiones Astartes list, as Brethren of Iron requires you to have an equal amount of Legiones Astartes and Beep Boops.
>>
>>50012694
I might hold off building the silent sisters until we see their (draft) 30k rules, which should be out next month. I mean, the swords will probably be the option to go for, it's not like bolters and flamers are difficult to come by for legion armies, but it's not worth risking it IMO.
>>
>>50012659
>>50012703
Shoot, actually if I swapped the Forge Lords for Praevians I could fit in 10 more Castellax.

>>50012694
Just remember when it comes to the Sisters and the Custodes, you'll likely be unable to mix and match in 30k. So if you give then swords, they ALL must have swords and shields, etc. Terminators have combi-bolters and power weapons standard, and must buy the rest of their upgrades. Two chainfists and the rest with power fists will do you good. I'd rather give everyone volkite or no-one volkite, which is not possible since there's only one Volkite Charger sprue. Autocannons and Heavy Flamers are cool, but a matter of preference. Combi-weapons are good, I like Combi-Meltas the most on my Terminators.

I like lascannon Javelins

You get a few in a squad, deep strike (or out flank if you can) behind the spartan and then go to town on it. Always fun to see a squad of vehicles pop open something three times their price.

But if you want it gone as fast as possible, it's hard to go wrong with kraken lightnings, meltabomb assault squads, or chainfists on various platforms.

Thunder warriors kitbashed out of Stormcast Eternals with liberal helmet and weapon-swaps. Paint scheme emphasizing dirty grey metallics with grimy oil and rust effects. Played on tabletop as Blackshield Chymeriae. Really stoked about the idea and want some feedback.

in my experience (having played night lords, alpha legion before settling into SoH) They have kinda meh special rules, with vastly overpriced power armor unique units (but who hasn't?) and good special terminators, ok special characters and they basically make up for all those problems by having horus.
>>
>>50014007
i said nothing about the special units and characters, I just mentioned that 1 of our rules is a downside, 1 only comes up if you play reserve heavy, and one is "ok" but kind of hard to pull of.

>>50013636
That text only says that DTs don't take up a FOC slot and use the role of their parent unit, they're still a unit of their own.
>>
>>50013886
That looks stupid as fuck
>>
Despite heavy bolters being trash tier, my support squad with heavy bolters somehow comes up big every time I field them. Last game they managed to cause 24 wounds in the first shootig phase. That was with a cognis signum buffing them, but still.
Their game before that they reduced the unit coming at them by 4-6 marines every time some of the Night Lords got close.

I only made the unit because heavy bolters are just cool, but starting to feel like I should use them more often now.

My idea was a Necron Triarch Stalker with some Admech bits added and a Magos Dominus top half wired into it I'm place of the pilot. Add some servo arms and paint appropriately.
Thing is, what do I use for the Mace of D3 Wounds? Not anything in any of my Admech kits that would really fit.

The rule his weapon uses is very similar to Necron Entropic weaponry.
So I would suggest replacing his standard issue Mechanicum Power Axe with a Necron weapon of some kind.

I've been taking a break from my IF but I took them out of their cases today to get some work done.

>>50014900
Sounds pretty good, but I'd certainly try and show the necron influence in the weapon, it's just too similar in rules not to be Necrontyr.

It doesn't say anywhere he has a mace, just a sceptre by the way, and those can be almost the size of staff too, it doesn't necessarily need to be a smaller weapon.
