Seconding this, Kastelans are a bitch to kill. Having an entire squad at T7 is straight up immune to anything S3 and below and even then they still have a 3+/5++ save that can reflect a shot back while being able to heal up to 2 wounds per turn if you attach your Dominus to them.

Keep up. I already mentioned that you'd have to play with the numbers from the current system.

As a general rule, I'd probably just drop AP6 and make most AP5 and AP4 weapons just +1 AP. The higher pen AP4 as well as AP3 and some AP2 would become +2 AP. AP2 and AP1 would get divided into +2 and +3 AP, with some crazy powerful shit going to +4 or +5.

All they need to do is update the shitcast models to be plastic, bring back the metal Archon on the front of the damn book, and possibly add a "character on a bike" kit as well as the option to allow him or at least the Succubus to take one.

Just because you only speak English doesn't mean word genders do not exist especially in the faux-Latin GW lifts all their shit from. It's a big fucking difference.

>their entire army had to fit through a webway portal
The same can often be said of Craftworlders and they still find a way. Only a few Craftworlds can host Titans but shit like the Scorpion is fine and I don't see a DE superheavy being any bigger than that.

In the worst case one can Forge that Narrative, probably piggybacking something off of how DE and Craftworlds are absurdly Battle Bros.
>>
>>50146698
Tau, Harlequins, Black Templar or Blood Angels. The prominent contender is Tau. Then i have some unpainted Orks and CSM, but i'm not gonna get into them anytime soon.
>>
>>50146762
Another factor is.. large scale invasion are dull and costly.

DE don't seize planets, factories or resources, slave raids and finished products are their thing.
>>
>>50146690
I'm sure he means the Tantalus or whatever.

They gave DE the corpsethief claw formation instead of a superheavy.
>>
I think Vect shall return to the DE army.
>>
Which is the way Blood Angels are meant to be portrayed?
Current codex which is a Codex Astartes Compliant Chapter with some unique quirks?
Or the Ward-Dex with assault marines out the ass?
>>
Giving Tau ignores cover mechanics is utterly crippling to some armies - e.g. Dark Eldar
>>
>>50146797
They don't do defenses either, but through the miracle of GW writing they've found themselves having to hold places for some retarded reason or another.

Didn't the Panacea story involve a large invasion?

>>50146806
I know about the Tantalus. To be fair isn't that shit just for internecine wars?
I'm talking about really big craft I've seen in the past but I don't know if they were just conversions made for fun or as a what if or if they were actually GW-sanctioned and given rules.

in combat it's a done deal (though if the prince completely wiffs it the riptide could instant kill the prince with a single smash), getting there and living through overwatch is another ordeal.

>>50147402
you fail toughness tests on 6s, i ganked a few wraithlords in 5th using gift of chaos

>>50147402
A roll of 6 is always a fail. More importantly the DP's Smash gives the Mace AP2 so you don't need to pay a premium for AoBF. The DP's WS9 is also pretty good and with the Mace you can go Nurgle/Slaanesh also.
>>
>>50147324

Yes.
>>
>>50147402
Mace let's you take psychic levels, which you should. It also lets you throw yourself at Wraithknights and blobs.

So, Chaos is generally accepted to be too weak, right?

What if they got the ability to take the vehicles and basically-human models from the Genestealer Cult codex for their Chaos Cult armies, replacing any special rules/wargear representing Xenos corruption with special rules and wargear representing Chaos corruption instead? Maybe as a Detachment rather than a full-on addition to the CSM codex.

Would this help, or would getting a human psyker, a few packs of troops with mining gear turned into improvised weapons, and some trucks not really fix the problems that their codex has?
>>
>>50147690
>Would turning Codex: CSM into what is basically R&H help?
Yes it would solve a lot of problems
No it wouldn't make Chaos *Space Marines* any better

>>
>>50147553
You should only be able to hit on 6's if your WS is more than doubled imo. Exactly double is 5+
>>
>>50147525
it's alright, good at killing meq but not as much against other super heavies due to I2, though it is significantly more survivable than a regular knight
>>
>>50147690
They already have that, it's called forge world's renegades and heretics.
>>
>>50147806
My point is that if his gimmick is automatically knowing powers then he's shit if the tables he gets are Tzeentch. CSM Tzeentch is hands down the worst table in the game and until CotW Daemons Tzeentch wasn't far behind. It still isn't great but it is at least fun.

Is this supposed to be in addition to rolling powers or instead of them? If the latter he's just another GC. Otherwise okay then.

Ahriman is awful for the same reasons, spamming witchfires is an awful ability when the witchfires you have to pick from are terrible. At least the Traitor's Hate AoD powers helped him out a little bit he's still horribly overcosted. Tigurius runs rings around him.

I remember when the SoB white dwarf came out. The whole thing was a nightmare, and if I was at home and not half way across the country, I'd take pictures of it. For starters, their battle report was against Nids, so you had the army known for bringing all the flamers against nids. On top of that, they talked about the "Dominator" Squads, and the troops had 3 special weapons in the picture.

How does /tg/ feel point sink units?

Deathstars, special characters, super heavies, which ones work for what armies, which ones suck?

My thoughts are no single unit should soak up >35% of total points unless it's almost impossible to take it off the table before it gets those points back (invisible smashfucker on a bike tier bullshit) and smaller units armies like grey knights shouldn't use deathstars or super heavies since they need units on the field

I have a better brush now and a better understanding of how to get the lenses. Basically just get it on the lens and then go over the fucked up areas that bled out in red again. Works well enough. I haven't gotten to my actual Blood Angel models (everything I've painted so far has been from the Dark Vengeance kit) so everything thus far is practice for when I get to the models I care about.

I'm in between using the Space Marine codex and using the Iron Hands chapter tactics but saying my army are Blood Angels (with various fluff to explain) and sticking with the Blood Angels codex now that it got an update and Death Company are a bigger part of the army. That said I only have one DC squad and money has been excessively tight so no new models are coming my way after this scout squad I bought 2 months ago.

>no shading
>no highlighting
>just single, solid blocks of uniform color
Not too bad for a beginner, but there's definite room for improvement.

Here's some tips:
THIN YOUR PAINTS. It's a bit of a meme, but a drop of water will make all the difference.

For areas of solid color, like the red portions of your marine's armor, ink washes are your friend; they will naturally settle into the crevices and provide shading, along with a nice glossy finish.

For areas of metal, like your marines' bolders, or areas with lots of raised details, like the wing symbols on their chestplates, there's a technique called "drybrushing" that's very useful: first, you paint it with a darker base color (black works well for metal), and then you take a brush with stiff bristles, dip it into paint, then wipe most of the paint off, leaving a small dusting of it on the brush, and then you strike the brush rapidly along the area to be painted; this causes the paint to catch onto the raised areas, producing a highlight.

Combine these techniques, and your models will look significantly better, for only marginally more effort!

depends on the army really. i can get a cheap keeper of secrets for 170 with lv1 built in but t6 5++ means she'll be shot off the board easily so i have to invest in greater daemons and princes. troops and other units i usually min/max on unless i need them to do something like icons or musicians
>>
So I'm just starting to think about collecting.

The Start Collecting sets for $60-70 on ebay, are they usually legit? I'm looking into getting a Skitarii one. I know I'll need more than one to get anything decent going, but I won't be able to actually play games until probably January so I'm thinking of getting at least one set to work on getting better at painting etc and taking it slow.

Also, anyone from Austin and have any feedback on where to find people up for playing?

I fell for the Kreig meme. I started off with Orks, so I'm used to playing dogshit joke armies, but I've never played against a competent Guard player. What do I need to know about them and how Kreig plays differently?

Your opponent is a krieg collector? is he using the krieg armylist or IG one?
>>
>>50149947
Trench warfare, bloody mud, mustard gas for breakfast and 1000 men for 10 yards is a good trade.

Cheaper artillery, less cowardly guardsmen that at a little better in melee.

sure, but when the iron warriors are packing 6-9 rapier quad mortars, possibly with phosphex, 3 medusas, and iron havocs spitting out either autocannon or missile launcher shots at bs5, tank hunters and -1 cover saves, the Orks are gonna have a bad time

How is that any different from 40k?
>>
>>50150224
Bad news.
>>
>>50150224
Mortars are mortars, but phosphex is two things.
It makes the blast S5AP2 poisoned (3+), and after you roll scatter, the controlling player can move the blast marker 2" as long as it covers more models.
The second thing is the blast stays on the table and becomes both difficult and dangerous terrain for the rest of the match, and as it's barrage if ONE enemy survives the blast the entire unit has to move through diff. terrain as he must move out of the blast.

>>50150017
Buy some Aegis/wall of martyrs, spam Basilisks and elite artillery, sit in a corner. Kriegers are basically gunline guardsmen on crack. At least, thats how the guy at my LGS does them and its nothing if not effective.

So far my biggest concern is beating him (I'm Cadian IG) because holy shit those Strength 10 AP1 basilisk shots hurt my vehicles. My current Idea boils down to "Grab a tank commander, roll for outflank, get up in his buisiness"
>>
>>50146593
Bump - looking for opinions and suggestions on this list.
>>
Just won my second ever game, both vs a guard player as Dark Eldar.

First game was a clear win because he didn't take artillery and I jus out maneuvered and cleaned up.

Second one that just finished he took a Manticore 2 basilisk and 3 wyverns and all I had left was 2 immobilised ravagers and my dark artisan that destroyed the wyverns and basilisks on turn 4 and 5 in Big Guns Never Tire.

Both 1500 points. I'm happy
>>
>>50150291
Basilisks cant buy bastion breacher shells
>>
>>50150003
Questoris are not legal for 40k, Cerastus are, but the way the rules are worded means that you need to have at least the same number of regular knights as Cerastus. So they only work for full Knight armies.
>>
>>50150329
Whoops. The guy is using counts-as Griffons or something. I keep thinking they're earthshakers because, well, the models he's using are earthshakers.
>>
>>50150291
Basilisks don't get that shit anon, that's Colossus profile isn't it?

Question.

>Each roll to hit of 6 causes a single automatic wound ap2
So... after resolving that wound do I still roll to wound for the actual attack?
Or is that wound 'the end of the line' so to speak?
>>
>>50150371
Griffons are the piddly but accurate mortar tanks.
>>
>>50150379
>automatic wound
>>
>>50150394
>>50150378
THAT'S the one! Goddamn so many different barrage profiles!
>>
>>50150379
No, that's the wound in question, it just means you would be able to wound something you normally wouldn't have.

For example, a S3 gun with that rule would still be able to wound a T9 unit on a roll of 6, it's what makes Cancer guns so fucking scary.
>>
>>50150371
You mean medusas. Medusas are the ones that takes bastion breacher shells.
As long as hes not swapping back and forth between the s9ap3 large blast and the s10ap small blast.
>>
>>50150379

On a roll of a 6 you skip the roll the wound for that dice as it is automatically considered a wound, at ap 2.

e.g. Reaver Jetbikes with Cluster Caltrops do D6 Str 6 Hammer of Wrath hits.

I roll 1 dice to find out how many attacks I do, it's a 6, so I roll 6 more dice to see if they hit, any 6's auto wound at AP 2, the rest I hit with then need to roll to wound at str 6 vs toughness
>>
>>50150435
Fuck, I got it wrong as well, anon is right, too many fucking SPGs
>>
>>50150247

That's most things in 30k isn't it?

>>50150285

I wonder how long till that finds it's way into 40k.
>>
>>50150379
Whats the full wording, word for word. With what you typed, a roll of 6 to hit doesn't need to roll to wound (it does so automatically) and is ap2.
If it actually says "additional" wound, then you would roll to wound normally for that 6-to-hit, as well as get an auto-wound.

I have a feeling this is the harlequin's caress, in which case, no, that 6-to-hit is the end of the line. proceed directly to saves.
>>
>>50150449
Naw, aside from volkite most 30k is behind the 40k power curve, at least in terms of power/point.
>>
>>50150379
Is this a mucked up question about rending or another rule you're looking at.
>>
>>50150449
Technically it's already there as the Skitarii have a relic pistol that has the same stats but causes 3 wounds instead of 1, and no blast or phosphex rules.
However, the STC for phosphex was destroyed by a rogue Tech-priest, so some pretty serious wriggling might be needed to bring it back.
>>
>>50150464

I wish 30k wasn't so goddamn expensive. The rules look more balanced, but aside from the plastic kits, it's all FW, who's prices just went UP. Even the two kits aren't enough to really play the game, which is why I'm using them for my CSM.
>>
>>50148605
5th edition GK codex did not have temple assassins, just the henchmen type death cult assassins.
>>
>>50150449
Lore-wise, the STC for Phosphex was destroyed by a Tech-Priest who thought it TOO dangerous.

He was branded a heretic, tied to a stake and killed with that which he had destroyed. Phosphex.
>>
>>50150484
I just wish it wan't marine on marine circlejerk.
>>
>>50150497

>I wish the game about the Marine civil war didn't have so many Marines!
>>
>>50150464

Isn't that because most armies maintain parity by nature of it being Imperium vs Imperial Renegades, all of whom have access to roughly the same thing?
>>
>>50150484
Its only more balanced because everyone has the same "4 across the board" stat line. 40K would be more balanced to if 95% of the rules and support were for one of army.

Unfortunately for you, that's not gonna happen, as 30k is set during the Horus Heresy, when marine versus marine combat was unheard of until then.

It was an IMPERIAL civil war. It would be nice at least for them to do something with Dark Mechanicum other than "Lol, just take a Mechanicum army and say you're Dark Mechanicum"

>>
>>50150516
>>50150519
The only armies that are not only marines are Admech and Elite Imperial Army.
Admech are quite high on the power curve because every army is designed purely for killing Marines and Termies, not ANY MCs or light infantry.

Also by nature of being made by the same people, at the same time under the same edition rulebook.

>>50150548

Honestly, the only thing that interests me in 30k is Thousand Sons, who don't even have rules yet. I'm getting both plastic sets, painting them metallic red and silver, and then making a CSM Warband with them. I can take a bunch of extra sorcerers or just ally a cabal. I might even use some of my old metal GKs for sorcerers because of the halberd.

I would say they get MORE choice, have you seen their conscript equivalents? Barring grots, they're the cheapest unit in the game and they can beat the shot out of grots.

And then there is the massive choice they get in small arms as well as the huge customisation afforded by the traits you pick for the army.

Check your fucking FW privilege. You have multiple books' worth of tanks, the most superheavies in the game even a 30k equivalent.

I play Dark Eldar. I get ___2 options that haven't had rules updates in two editions.
It's hard to say if Sisters have it worse because at least they got the Repressor before it was taken away from them.


However I completely agree that Marine wank is cancer and they should do other armies except maybe Tau

To be fair, half of that shit is the same two tanks with different loadouts. 90% of which are pure shit and are outclassed in everyway by lemans and baneblades.
>>
>>50150858
Sure.

Tau literally destroy fun.

They bypass half the rules of the core game and shit on the rules of other armies.

Orks are just the worst army in the game ruleswise.
>>
>>50150847
Jokes on you, I'm an Ork player that just likes army dudes and thinks the marine wank is stifling.
>>
>>50150858
I'm sure to some people Tau are really fun to play.

But they are not fun to play against, at all. Even a tame list is a chore to play against.
>>
>>50150536

I largely stopped paying attention to Forgeworld when it became apparent the Heresy, Imperium, Tau and Eldar were their primary focus.

I think Orks are in competition with an army or two for that.

Don't Tyranids have some wonky rules like the Pyrovore explosion hitting everything on the table?

>>50150858
Don't let >>50150903's rabid anti-Tau sway you away from the Tau if you really like them. Yes, they can make the game unfun, but that is in the hands of the player/collector. Don't go out and buy 3 Riptides and 2 Stormsurges to use in a 1500pt game. Follow these simple guidelines and you can play Tau without being a cheeslord.

Nobody uses Pyrovores so it doesn't matter.

Nids can be competitive by spamming as many Flyrants as possible. Actually decent armies can counter this but it can otherwise be an effective strategy.

Orks don't even get a monobuild like that to abuse. It's all shit.

You shouldn't be doing that anyway as it leaves you open to counter-cheese.

Everytime I've seen that, it's usually answered by the Grav Wall, Wraith Brick or Knight Army or some other escalating shenanigans.

Not really rabid.

Eldar win by being undecosted and over powered

Tau win by bypassing half the game, shutting the opponent down and removing key units with workhorses so he can take them apart with no chance of retaliation.

Sound tactics, just boring to play against.

Theres a reason they are blue.
It's like playing a permission/weenie deck in magic.
