Gotta be faster than that, Anon.

After Scoria and possibly Sigismund, do you think there will be more Primarch-equivalent (PEQ?) characters? Personally I think there should be more, but most of my gaming group disagrees.

>>50016630
well, I'd love to see the dark angels, and the stuff on the custodes/sister of silence

>>50016690
Sigismund isn't really primarch-tier though. He's definitely the best non Primarch-tier guy, but he's still firmly bottom of the pack when it comes to Primarchs (Primarches?)

DAs here for you, pretty much the same as IH and RG. The custodes/SoS stuff is about 7 or 8 pages so it might take me a while

>>50016788
It just seems to lack the "flair" you would expect of an EC paint scheme

>>50016690
Corswain from the DA might be one, we just have to wait to see what FW will do with him.

>>50016776
OK then, havent looked into his rules in detail, I just hear he's hard as nails.
Scoria is definitely up there, especially with the Homonculex for backup, which takes him to the right points level. I can see more like him, but other than demons and the Tech-Priests its hard to justify Legionnaires of that power level as they all have Primarchs anyway.

I can see him being melded to some form of Chaos Engine and using scrapcode attacks like the Contagium Relic, so less of a combat beast and more a supporting/armour-smashing Super-Character.

That would be pretty cool. I think another Scoria clone would be kind of boring. Make him the Alpharius of mechanicum characters. Some beatstick potential, but mostly support.

>>50016986
I want that for new Mechanicum releases generally, at this point. Army has lots of melee and ranged beatsticks already, I would like some buff bubbles and such. But support LOW types are really uncommon due to people expecting a 400pt model to kill almost anything.

>>50017029

I do wonder what loyalist mechanicum characters will be coming. Assuming FW doesn't ignore BL again, perhaps we will see Koriel Zeth. I just can't think of any characters that were powerhouses.

>>50017142
We've already got Caleb, he's pretty cool and angry

Didn't Zeth die at the end of mechaicum?

Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up in the civil war of mars book.

It takes place after the Heresy and Scouring. I'm not too sure how long after, but the Inquisition is a major player at this point and it's a fair number of years after the Rubric was cast. It was also before Ahriman seized control of the Brotherhood of Dust and renamed them the Prodigal Sons. Still, great series and I'd absolutely recommend reading them.

>>50017548

That's assuming Lorgar isn't transcendent. Which I have literally never seen.

If I were to field Lorgar, it'd be transfigured. I want my primarch to actually do something other than buff my army and have difficulties with regular marines. Named or otherwise.

The model seems to get lighter from stages 5 to 6, even though apparently nothing's been done to the marine itself between these stages. Is this some optical illusion from the lighter base or something?

Prime in yellow, apply four or five extremely thin coats of Yriel Yellow while crying, highlight with White Scar, and then glaze with Lamenters Yellow. Do a second highlight on the highest portions with White Scar and then glaze it all again.

Are the tears necessary?

It feels rushed, as do most things that GW does now. Like they looked at the paint stand and went "We have one work day to paint all these guys. But we can only use 30 pots total"

Then you have FW that is "Thousand Sons: Base in gold then wash it 4 times in red shader. It takes forever but it looks nice"

I have a feeling the painters were told that they could only use certain colours, as most of the colours across the schemes are the same, probably to make it easier for beginners

>>50018754
>It takes forever but it looks nice
That is the main difference between FW and GW- GW's kits are faster to build than FW's, but FW's models look better. And the same generally applies to their paint schemes or tutorials

A few tips for the tartaros:

Assemble without the 'hood' so you can paint the helmet

However, dry fit the hood on when you glue the shoulder pads otherwise you might not have enough room for the hood. Found this one out the hard way.

>>50019039
3rd party conversion for a Combi-weapon?

>>50018321

>>50019063
I have a lot of left over 'plasma' combi bits from an anvil industries order. They fit on the side well with minor trimming.

>>50019092
It's mostly for the eye lenses if you model them looking to the side. Plus it depends on the position of the head, you might not be able to reach visible parts due to a curve, the hood edge, or a higher detail blocking your brush.

Mmm not entirely agree. T5 but W1. I'm simply biased to rerollable invulns so I won't touch that, but give him a Carapace weapon and rotor cannon that can (and will) be swapped for any of the Tactical support squad's weapons. So they'll be super expensive.

Give the IW a 0-2 Artillery squad :^)

>>50019435
True, it is nearly 200 points for 6w with shit weapons though
>>50019452
Rotor cannon can be swapped for Charger for free, basically they start with the basic weapons of both a tac support and heavy support squad. If you start layering the points into them with not-shit weapons, they'll cost >100 points, so 1w would be destroyer-tier badly overcosted

>>50019452
>>50019343
What comes in the box? Would you have each both only cover half of the weapons possibilities like the current Devestator box, or would this be a ' heads and shoulders' box like the FW armor marks with the extras being different upgrade packages?

Nah disregard me. It'll be too powerful and (yet again) outshine Tyrants.
Make them like Cataphractii that can overwatch at -1BS. Heavy bolters feel weird on termies, and plasma cannons are too iconic of the Deathwing. Because Deathwing just have to get Plasma Canons
>>50019481
Huh, I guess price would be the limiting factor

>>50019343

You have to buy weapons separately, and only one of each type of weapon comes in each pack.

>>50019510
Yeah, sorry, meant to add that in.
>>50019506
They would cost an absolute bomb. Want PFist, plasma gun and plasma cannon? 100 PPM for 2w. Even more for lascannons. Think of anything worth 525 points. swap this for saturnine, you get five lascannons and plasmaguns. They'd be an expensive, easily tarpitted anchor to build a heavy infantry army around, and not much more.

>>50019549
>"Bare ceramite" colour confuses me.

How so? Because one source says DG got ceramite colour suits (white), other that Knights Errant got ceramite colour suits (grey) or that Grey Knights have ceramite colour suits (silver)? What's confusing about that?

They don't need any of that, just pod them onto an objective and watch as your opponent has no way of taking it from you.

Use the rest of your army to take out his artillery and vidicators, gotta be all about that intra-army synergy.

The things weighing against SoH for me is they take 3x as long to paint and we already have a SoH player in our group.

Still undecided though, but Beep Boops might end up luring me to the IW's

I'd prrobably make the SoH's eyes more red and less orange in the future, tyo make it match their legion icon better.

>Adds another fully upgraded spartan to Saboteur's tally

Alpha Legion might not have the most amazing legion specific units, but hot damn do they have one of the best consul upgrades. A saboteur, specially in combintation with Dynat, is among the best and cheapest ways to fuck up somebody's spartan holding a deathstar.

Imperial Fist here. How should I equip my 10 Cataphractii and 15 Tartaros Terminators?

I'm thinking of the Cataphractii I could do the following with the intent of teleporting next to a priority target and trying to burn them off the field in a wave of plasma:
4x Combi-plasma + Chainfist
4x Combi-plasma + Power Fist
2x Plasma-blaster + Power Sword

For 10 of the Tartaros I'd like to do:
10x Thunderhammer + Storm Shield

But I have no idea what to do for the remaining five.

>>50020390
Remember you're one of the only two legions that have access to assault cannons on terminators, babyyyy.

>>50020388
Its due to those fuckers that i don't bring many vehicles these days, or if i do then its a Leviathan in a pod chasing down Dynat turn one.
>>50020390
I would drop two chainfists to regular fists on the first lot, and maybe run them as two squads of five if you have the slots.
Thunderhammers are an overly expensive upgrade for your dudes, run power fists/solarite gauntlets instead. Also, FW says you can't have storm shields on Tartaros armour.

why the heavy bolters on the Veteran Rhinos? if you're machine killing I'd want to have a multi-melta so I can just totally fucking nuke something, or have the opportunity to fire first with the dedicated transport to pop the enemy transport (and with a melta it's a good chance) and then finish off the rest.

>>50020887
Autocannons are good for dealing with light vehicles and infantery alike. Unless everybody in your meta is running nothing but fully pimped out spartans and multiple wound terminators, autocannon HS squads should always be usefull.

And besides they just look gorgeous, that's the only real reason you need.

Also they're unpainted and I'm not married to any chapter. Any suggestions which chapters' aesthetics best fit these plastics? Or which to simply avoid because they're way off the mark?

Much appreciate any advice I'm totally new but jumping in to a league in December.

>>50021127
>Any suggestions which chapters' aesthetics best fit these plastics?

Any chapter, MkIV is just the succesor to MkIII (duh) so all the legions that you might think are using MkIII are also favoring MkIV, Imperial Fists, Death Guard, IW perhaps to a lesser extent. Beyond that its all up to you as all legions had all armor marks in their disposal, either as prototypes or newly made.

Pick a legion you like based on paint scheme and play style.

>>50020526
Nothing wrong with lots of boxes and marines. I plan on doing the remnants of the Salamanders anyway, so I'll be needing a lot of marines. Probably about 4 boxes for me as well, then just get the extra marines from Ebay.

>>50021168
I'm goin thru them. Just wanted to put in an order with FW tonight have about $150 to spend lookin for one or two solid purchases thats all.
>>50021187
Cool thanks. I just saw photos of death guard and their helms are totally different, and the new space wolf ones in prospero etc thought maybe it was best to avoid certain chapters.

>>50021127
Two baC boxes can make you a nice Pride of the Legion list, which makes Terminators and Veterans Compulsory troops!

All legions used all marks of power armor, though some favored others more. What you should do is go with whichever one you like most! As all of them use the Legiones Astartes Age of Darkness army book, there's nothing to worry about other than the legion rules!

>>50021187
Actually, MkIV isn't really the successor to any mark, but simply a new/different model. MkIII was specialized for close quarters and boarding, which was why the Death Guard and surprisingly the White Scars used it a lot, as during the Heresy they were doing many a Zone Mortalis mission!

>>50021251
White Scars had alot of MKIII because they would fuck off for half a century then come back for supplies after they brought some worlds in bumfuck nowhere to compliance. They didn't have too much in terms of logistic support or supply lines.

I'm not saying we need to be the best of everything, being the 'tough' Legion is fine by me. We have good characters too, and Ferrus or Autek can certainly make dirty lists. But I wouldn't say we're top-tier any more, and of the fully-released Loyalists we're probably towards the bottom.

Need advice and I always get a brutally honest opinion here: I'm repainting my Knight Gallant to fit better with my Imperial Fists for a 2500 point list. I'm taking the Gallant because I think of him like a giant robot version of Sigismund and this appeals to my Pacific Rim loving side. Now should I paint him like pictured contemptor with yellow shoulders and then give him a yellow fist, or should I go for a boring more fluffy Mechanicum red or knight household blue color.

>>50023393

so are we talking a yellow pauldron on his right side and then the rest red? I've never seen a knight like that and I wonder if the colors would clash. I'm also thinking about just doing hawkshroud but with the same yellow I used for my fists so they all match.

With this in mind and with the prevalence of armoured ceramite and 3+ armour, I'd say that missile launchers are king purely in terms of points.
Autocannons by comparison cost the same and are worse against 3+, better against 2+ and 4+, equally good against something with 3+ and 5++ invuln/cover and better against 3+/4++ and beyond. Autocannons don't cause instant death against T4, though. When trying to glance down vehicles they're better against AV10-12, equally good against AV13 (but missile launchers can penetrate them) and useless against AV14.

All in all, I'd say autocannons are pretty damn good.

I think something like house mortan could work quite well, if the idea of going back to painting black doesn't trigger you too much. There's enough yellow there that it'll tie in with the rest of your force, but it's still an individual design and not an obvious copy of the marines' scheme.

However, house mortan canonically wasn't reunited with the imperium until M35, so you may have to fudge things a little.

All I did last night was build up several layers of thinned leadbelcher over the original paint because i was tired of the shitty bright yellow. Washes and colors will be tonight if I get the time. Just wanted to keep working on this 2500 pt list before my Prospero boxes arrive.

>>50024543
it is my own list and it is tuned to my preferences
it can be tweaked thou
say you can downgrade rapiers to laser ones and drop squad commander upgrade from predators
this allows you to upgrade boxnaughts to contemptors
or you can drop lascannon sponson for heavy conversion beamers
or whatever your meta calls
don't take it as a staple

>>50024567
yeah ive mostly been having trouble figuring out what actually works in this opposed to 40k
I like a praetor on a bike, maybe throw some other few things in there

>>50024526
I don't like the speeders there. They don't benefit from Iron Hands' special rule and have too few HPs to see any effect of blessed autosimulacra.

>>50024662
The time of WAAC bike mounted bike-mounted-brickwall units has come.

You'd take a fucking formation if you could, you little cheesefaggot.

I guess I can't blame you though, /hhg/ has been nothing but 40kids champing at the bit to minmax and find THOSE SWEET COMBOS BRO since the start.

minmaxing is just partof any game that has stats. I mena again the problems are with how the game is balanced and not players taking advantage of rules.

Isn't he actually T5 but ranged attacks get a -1S to him, effectively rendering a little better than T6 against ranged? (as in T6 with a -1S to ranged is better than T7, srry for the confusion)

>>50025003
Use a Primus Medicae instead. Or an Endurance Librarian for FnP4 and Eternal Warrior.
I feel like those Thousand Witches Biomancers (Pavoni?) will be used a lot

>>50025152
It depends on what you want them for, and what the rest of your list is really, you can't just ask "whats better"

>>50025183
Indeed. Mathhammering can at best tell you what is killier, not outright better. What are they for, >>50025152?
If you're asking about the best way to use AP2 rifles, maybe it's be plasma guns, as they can move and shoot and rapid fire.

>>50025183
Ranged AP2, basically, for shooting up any terminator squads/primarchs/other stuff with a 2+ save that are wandering about outside their transports. Barebones seekers would be taken mainly for their scorpius shells, in other words.

>>50025230
If you want solid raged AP2 for deleting big scary units, go with the seekers and combi-plasmas. They've not failed me so far in earning back their points in games, preffered enemy and sniper shots are lethal in taking out primarchs/praetors. I like to give the sergeant a plasma pistol as well as he cant take a combi-weapon.

>>50025258
Gotcha, thanks.

>>50025152
Combi-plasma for deleting one specific unit out of a rhino/drop pod/deep strike/outflank
Regular seekers for general AP2 where you're able to get a good position to stand still and shoot stuff
Tacsupp for when you want combi-plasma seekers but don't have enough FA slots, because let's be honest, a unit full of plasma guns won't be able to shoot more than once before getting shot/charged off the board anyway so you might as well go for BS5 with PE and precision shots

Hey guys, you seemed to enjoy my last little battle report on my apocalypse game, so here's the first game of my groups next campaign. Just for reference, Loyalists are my shattered legion (WS & BA), IH again, and now outlander blackshields. Traitors consist of IW, AL, and DG.

My first game was 750pt zone mortalis against AL, the game was a custom made, where you had to pick up a relic and bring it back to your board edge. Capturing it gives D3 VP and a bonus later in the campaign. We didn't have much time to play, so we said after turn 4 the station the game was set on was going to be bombarded by the IW and everyone still on the board would die.

I had a BA delegatus, WS librarian, a squad of WS veterans and a squad of BA veterans, and my rite was the Chosen Duty one. The AL player was running Headhunter leviathal (the mad bastard), with two Headhunter squads and a delegatus.

Turn 1
>WS vets and librarian push straight towards relic, I tried to move the BA vets and delegatus round the side to flank the headhunters.
>AL delegatus and squad of headhunters also start heading for relic, other squad starts heading towards BA

Turn 2
>WS libby and vets run up, sergeant picks up relic, BA vets and delegatus take potshots at Headhunter squad and manage to achieve sniper bullshit, killing the Headhunter sergeant but nothing else.
>bad idea running up, as AL delegatus and headhunters come into room, and other squad comes in through side door, meaning WS libby and vets are caught between an nasty crossfire. Most of the WS vets die, Libby and sergeant survive thanks to Artificer armour (fuck you banestrike), amazingly they pass morale test.

Turn 3
>Think "fuck it, they're all gonna die anyway"
>Libby had rolled iron arm and warp speed before game
>cast both
>Libby charges Delegatus and Headhunters on his own, they try to overwatch, but he doesn't give a fuck
>7 attacks, 7 dead headhunters

Pt1/2

>>50024748
>I'd love to see pics of some of those bastards
nope sorry
i must say that it was a single event when one of our players gathered all the knights of the community and brought them to the tourney
should i say he won?

>>50025676
pt2/2

>WS sergeant and remaining vets start legging it trying to get back to the board edge
>BA and delegaus start to back off while keeping the corridor with the second headhunter squad in covered in case they try and escape
>AL headhunters and delegatus fail morale and try to fall back
>Get gloriously swept by librarian
>thatwentbetterthanexcpected.jpg
>Remaining headhunter squad backs out of room, starts shooting at BA and delegatus

Turn 4
>Librarian runs for AL edge of board to try and escape
>rolls shittily on his run distance, so he's stuck which means hes dead
>WS vets escape to our board edge with relic, meaning I've won already
>BA run for edge of the board, only just making it
>remaining headhunters also escape, but again only just

Shattered legion wins in the end, but we ended up ruling that the Librarian survived but was captured by headhunters, so that we have a nice little plot point that can come up later in the campaign.

I honestly think it would of been a completely different game had the AL gone first and the librarian not managed to cast his powers. The board was so small and the game so short it was more about who was the quickest than the most killy. All in all a good game, the ext game is another ZM game of Blackshields vs DG, I could post that when its played sometime if /hhg/ wants it?

>>50025676
>Traitors consist of IW, AL, and DG.
Don't make me root for the traitors, anon.
>Libby had rolled iron arm and warp speed before game

exactly

>>50025815
The IW player's only just started his army, so if he doesn't have enough models by the time we get to the big games he's said he'll do an army of dark compliance using his cults army from the last campaign.

The thought of potentially coming up against hundreds of cultists again but this time backed up by IW artillery scares me greatly.

>>50025881

That's fluffy IW you know.

>>50025897
Just because it's fluffy doesn't mean it doesn't scare the shit out of me

We've already decided the final game is going to be a giant vehicle battle, tallarn style. We're trying to see if we can borrow a friends warhound for the traitors. I'm simulateously scared and excited. Scarecited.

Going to be rough on the Blackshields - though if it's the same mission then they might be okay, what with the DG sucking at running.

Sounds like a cool battle, and very cinematic with the Librarian getting his powers off and going to town on the Headhunters.

hey buddy, Ctrl+s. Or square brackets.

>>50026137
We haven't decided what the missions going to be yet, the story so far is multiple mechanicus stations are in orbit around a planet using DaoT technology to prevent the planet being sucked into it's star.

We've pretty much already written off that mission, as the DG player is probably going to bring more flamers than you can shake a stick at. Maybe the blackshields could win with some deep-striking bullshit but we doubt it

The librarian going ham on the headhunters is the only reason we decided to say he's still alive for the purpose of the campaign, we plan on having a mission at some point where the WS have to try and rescue him before the DG have him possessed by a greater daemon.

whats the best way to kit out a 20 man bolter tac squad sergeant?

>>50026292
I'd say AA+power fist so that you don't get tarpitted to death by a Contemptor, or AA+power axe+melta bomb to be slightly better against vehicles with the melta bombs and better against MEQ/TEQ with power axe+bolt pistol, at the cost of being unable to instant death T4 and being worse against admech robutts.´

Subject to change based on legion-specific rules and equipment, naturally.
