Do the blood tubes have rules out yet? Google is giving me nothing and I want to know if I should consider asking for a set for Christmas.

Not something I think I would buy normally, but hey, if it's a gift, why not.

Reposting I suppose.

Icarus Onager versus its points in Mek Gunz, who is better at AA?

>>50161954
It buffs the VSG and plasma obliterator but you probably already knew that. As far as I know we have no actual rules aside from that blurb text.

Thread's Obligatory Question Post:

What are you working on?

Play any games lately or plan to soon?

Ideas on additions to your army?

Eigth for this cancerous meme

>>50161970
Yeah I saw that much, would be nice if they still actually sold the plasma.

Oh well, guess it's still a waiting game, thanks for the confirmation though.

>>50161976
200pt Tau Kill-team, i'm kinda torn between making a winter DDPAT on them or a kind-of elite theme on them.

Pardon my newfaggotry but what does VSG stands for?
Not the guy you're responding to.

>>50161970
When it comes to AA, the traktor kannon beats everything by a significant margin, though the Icarus Onager is the closest competitor.

>>50161954
>>50161970
Original question anon here,

I guess we can also assume they have a connection with promethium tubes, as the text also states they are compatible,

Although that may be purely cosmetic, so that idea may be worthless.

>>50161970
icarus has bs4 and interceptor, not to mention 3 different fire modes on it's big fancy gun. mek guns are bs3 and a damn near automatic crashing on flyers/fmc

i'd rather take the icarus

>>50162003

>What are you working on?
I have two Razorbacks and 5 assault marines to paint so I can finish my Demi Company.
Then I have to paint 6 more special weapon tacticals.
Bought the assault marines used and they were painted with enamels and I couldnt strip them as well as I liked so they don't look great.
Jump Chap turned out well though.

If you're building a terrain network they could be a neat edition since they are apparently compatible with the relay pipes and such. It's way too early to see if they are worth buying for their rules alone.

>>50162003
Void Shield Generator

>>50162038
For my lack of existing terrain, it might actually be worth it on that merit alone.

Reactors and relay pipes would make a cool centerpiece, almost like a bloody maze in the middle of the battlefield. I might actually go ahead for it.

My wife wants to start an AdMech army, too, so that fits even better.

>>50162000

>>50161976
Still working on my 2 CSM squads that are super kit bashed and building a warhound and warlord on commission.

Last game was a few weeks ago, hope to get one in soon.

Going to convert/make earthshaker artillery carriages or buy some wyverns for my R&H. Not sure which I want to use though,so I'm welcome to anons weighing in.

>How do you guys feel about daemon primarchs being usable in 40k and the possibility of seeing loyalist primarchs?

>>50162127
I picked my paints from a local hobby crafts shop.
Quite much the same stuff at half the price.

I'm having troubles with removing paint from some of my second hand models.

I wonder what infernal tar this black fucking paint is. It just seems to get darker the more I try to remove it.

>>50162141
I look forward to loyalist Primarchs being inexplicably as powerful if not more so than daemon Primarchs.

>>50161831
>IF your GM is worth anything, a tech priest or magos is going to make an appearance

I'm the token armorer of crew of badass Inquisitor-lead Radical murderhobos. We blew up a Grand Cruiser to destabilize the Naval forces in orbit so that a pseudocult could storm a spaceport and steal comms codes for their 'dark' lord, who is actually a rogue Inquisitor we were tracking, and lead our planted agents to their underhive main base of operations so we could storm it and take over. I doubt putting a poor quality plasma gun on a stick with a chain bayonet would really make that big of a difference at this point.

>What are you working on?
I have a ton of Deldar to finish assembling. Out of pic related, I have 1 Archon, 3 Reavers (one has no rider), 5 Warriors, and the legs and torsos of the other 5 (note: the legs are not glued to the torso yet)

>Play any games lately or plan to soon?

No. The only people I know are a group of flaky guys. Fun, but flaky, and my friend who plays eldar and whines constantly about everything forever.

>Ideas on additions to your army?
A bunch of stuff, actually, though idk that I'll get around to including them.

Why are anti-homebrew fags such yards? Why pretend that GW rules are balanced, sacred edicts that should never be altered?

>>50161969
But who is going to win it?

>>50162350
To be fair, people like playing by a concrete ruleset because it gives them a sense of agency. They know what they are going up against ahead of time and given that he played Tau his army was probably built to directly take advantage of/counter that

>>50162350
well, there might be cases of homebrew rules going toe to toe with Yugioh in ridiculousness.

Personally, I am always in for some rule bending in favour of underpowered armies as long as its reasonable.

>>50162350
>CSM with Drop Pods
>not just taking Dreadclaw pods instead
It's not like they don't have an in-faction equivalent to them.

>>Any games lately?
Soon. Very very soon.

>>Ideas on additions to your army?
The army is "mostly complete." I'll probably build a bunch of giant Daemons/Walkers/etc from spare Sprue/bits I've got lying around.

1850pts
Blood Host Detachment

Chaos Lord (230pts)
>Kor'lath, Powerfist, Combi-Bolter, Sigil, Juggernaut

2x 10 CSM (210pts)

>2 Meltas

3x 5 Hounds (80pts)

War Engines
2 Maulerfiends (130pts)

Plan is to overload with 12" movement high-threat units while the CSM move up and flush people off objectives, filling up my ranks with Daemons as the Marines die.

>Marines with Flamers
The main reason you take Marines in any Chaos army is for Meltaguns.

>One giant Spawn unit.
Why not split them into two smaller units? More threats, more BFtBG points, etc. I mean, it's not like you can't hide the Lord with the Flesh Hounds.

>Possessed
A tax is a tax, alas. :/

>Maulerfiends and Grinders
That Grinder seems fairly lonely.

>>50161976

Building a two chimera and some cultist for my new GSC.
Playing a twin linked 1000 game later today.
Need to figure out what to add to my DE..more bikes or pony up and start buying Talos for a corpsethief claw..but having started GSC the DE are probably getting shelved

>>50162313
That's pretty much exactly how I started.

>>50162529
>meltas
thought about that, but a bit anti-horde/ignores cover seems good too, doesn't it?

>spawn
the plan was meatshields for the Lord, but i could take two separate Spawn, and add Hounds to one unit to stick the Lord in there. hmm.

>Soul Grinder
seemed to me that i need a tough midfield shooting unit, do you think a third Maulerfiend would be better?

>>50162470
I would reduce the CSM squads to minimum size and swap the flamers for melta or plasma and give the sergeant a combi-gun of the same and melta bombs. Break up the spawn into as many squads as you can in order to maximize the blood for the blood god points and allow them to be more flexible on the board. Using those points you get. Then add as many hounds as you can to a single squad and have your lord go with those instead

>>50162492
Being cautious is cool, but lots of people won't even consider departing from the scripture of GW.

>CSM drop pods
>bait
They're all over the fluff, and it's a simple change that massively proves actual Chaos Space Marines.
>>50162499
And get another chance of eating your dudes.

It's just too expensive on top of already overcosted, ineffectual units.

>>50162492
Hah
And all objectives on the board you took activated the megacannon as trapcards?

>>50162600
>MSU
you know the minimum size in KDK is 8 right?
figured two extra bodies for a second special would go a long way, but i may be wrong.

>Spawn
2 units max in the Slaughtercult

Has anyone Flesh Tearers Supplement?

>>50162383
Not a bad setup, I was thinking of adding in at least one neuro disruptor, that fleshbane shot could help out in a fair amount of places.

Any marine-sized bird heads and wings?

I want to make the Raven Guard dude from the inside cover of the rulebook.

>>50162471
You don't know hate until an asshole insists that he be allowed to dog fight your Dreadclaws.

>>50162611
Yeah those people are fags. What I'm saying is that there is a reason a lot of people avoid homebrew and that is because most homebrew writers know even less about balance than GW themselves. Furthermore, if, for example, homebrewed Orks actually win a game, the loser is going to point to the homebrew as a reason why they lost instead of looking at the tactical decisions they made or even their list matchup. Only if homebrew loses is it okay and that rather defeats the point of using it to buff armies.

>CSM drop pods are bait
I was referring to how anon considers Dreadclaws an acceptable alternative when they're pretty much different vehicles, and using them as pods is ridiculously inefficient and worse in every way.

>>50162618
We never actually got that far. The primary objective of the game was to damage/kill the mega Squiggoth, scoring VPs for how many wounds it had lost. I think we got to around turn 2 before about 90% of the allied forces' army had been tabled. It's been a long time so I might be misremembering but that's the gist of it.

>>50161899
If the Primarchs do return, I think the Loyalist ones should be fucked up and cost less than they do in 30k. Guilliman some lose either wounds or T and cost about 100 points less thanks to his time in stasis. Dorn should lose an Attack and either his bolter or his chainsword, and should fight with just the one arm. If Vulkan comes back he should lose at least some of his toys because he left them to the Salamanders. And if Khan comes back he should be slowly dying from a dark Eldar poison

Meanwhile the traitor Primarchs should all be daemons worth about 100 points more than their 30k counterparts and get a host of new special rules. Lorgar can choose his powers from Daemonology, Slaanesh, Nurgle or Tzeench and manifest on a 3+. Perturabo should come stock with a giant cannon that shoots an Apocalyptic Blast. Fulgrim comes with Forgebreaker and all his special rules from 30k (with Forgebreaker IIRC he can even take down Horus regardless or Horus's super special rule). And Magnus should be a level 4 at the very least, possibly a level 5

>>50162470
A perfect example of a list that would suddenly become viable with Drop Pods.

>>50162645
and what, 2x CCW?

In my experience each model should have a kiss/caress. Embraces against hordes. Maybe one without a weapon in front is alright, but hopefully youre relying on your Starweavers/DJs/Shadowseers/Allies to not get shot up

>>50162686
people actually use those rules? i don't have any flyers nor plan to use them, i hardly fly my daemon princes or greaters

>>50162692
>Dorn should lose an Attack and either his bolter or his chainsword, and should fight with just the one arm

Yeah because what are bionics right?

>>50162692
>should fight with just the one arm

>he existed for 10,000 years without getting a new one

The fuck is wrong with you?

>>50162692
The Blood Ravens own Forgebreaker now, and Perturabo wants it back probably.

>>50162726
>>50162724
If he's got bionics, what Imperial world did he get them from where nobody kept records of "the 10 foot tall guy with massive fuckoff armor and fists iconography all over him"

I think during the Black Crusade, he was pulled into the Warp and has been fighting there with Leman Russ

>>50162754
Primarchs are pretty smart, Dorn probably could have built his own bionics, or the Custodes made it for him.
>I think during the Black Crusade, he was pulled into the Warp and has been fighting there with Leman Russ
Not true.

>>50162692
>even more Chaos wank
No. Fuck you.

>>50162588
You're Daemonkin. Your army is about killing hordes in melee. The flamers are redundant, and as of now, your only ranged AT/anti-heavy is in your two Biker units. Take the Meltaguns. :>

Spawn with Furious Charge are surprisingly scary at wrecking tanks. Small units, plus a Hound bodyguard for your Lord = "More threats"

Mind critiquing my list?

++Black Crusade++
+Maelstrom of Gore+
Fleet Berserkers with +3 Charge.
Chaos Lord w/ (free Mark of Khorne), Juggernaut, Sigil, and Axe of Blind Fury (160)

4 x 5 Berserkers w/ Meltabomb Champ (440)
2 Rhinos (70)

+Spawn+
3 Spawn - 90

+Helforged Warpack+
Reusable Daemonforge, one Vehicle is an "Alpha-Beast" with "Character" and a 4++
Warpsmith w/ Combi-Melta (120)
2 Maulerfiends (250)
Forgefiend - 175 (Alpha Beast)


+Helforged Warpack+
Warpsmith w/ Combi-Melta (120)
2 Maulerfiends (250)
Forgefiend - 175 (Alpha Beast)

Total: 1850

I feel that it would be more efficient to use a Daemonkin CAD instead of Black Crusade, run some Bloodletters as my mandatory troops, and use FA Rhinos for the Warpsmiths instead.

"Carpet Bombing"
Essentially, he would get as many basilisk shots in the scatter direction as the table had room with the same scatter distance between them from the original target.

He told me several other stupid as shit "rules" he came across, but I cant recall them at all.

Would be fun to read more about this fuckery though

>>50162717
Yeah 2 CCW, gives you something to screen stuff and I can appreciate wanting to minimize that, but the troupe is gonna take fire from people for sure and I personally find having at least 2 dudes bare bones to lose keeps you a bit more up to returning the pain when you make it to combat.

My general idea being Troupe Master with Caress and ND, player with caress, player with kiss x2, and two stock players.

Of course taking Embraces where necessary but more often than not the kisses and caresses do the job.

>>50162799

>>50163002
I meant swapping out the Maelstrom of Gore for a Daemonkin CAD, and keeping the other two formations standalone. The only thing I lose out on is free Hatred/VOTLW for the Warpsmiths/Maulerfiends.

The armylist isn't something I'd run, as much as an "experiment" to see if I could make the Maelstrom of Gore "work" for (semi)-competitive games. So "more Berserkers", and fast-moving assault units to support them, rather than "Berserks inna Land Raider".

>>50163135
No, you can't make Berzerkers work. They are complete and utter dogshit.

>>50163135
i see.
You know, i think KDK is best used alone, because of the Blood Tithe only affecting KDK models aswell as only those generating blood points in the first place. in the end, it probably doesn't make a difference which detachment you choose

That's what I figured. When I first wrote the list, I was under the impression that Maelstrom of Gore gave both +3 to Run and +3 to charge to the Berserkers, instead of just the +3 to Charge. That unfortunately means the Berserkers can't "run alongside" the Maulerfiends.

At least my Tzeentch army has been working for me so far.

>>50163605
Khorne dislikes spellcasters because they cast spells, dumbass.

>>50163627
Except that guy is literally playing for Khorne to smite his enemies, not slinging any spells whatsoever.

>>50163623
War Hymns can be used every turn, explain that one.

Khorne traditionally gives boons to combat prowess, not pseudo-magic.

>>50163487
I think the fine line is finding a balance between "Summon" and the rest of the actual army. I also took one "fun tier" option that normally I wouldn't take.

++Black Crusade++
+Chaos Warband+
Chaos Lord (235)
>Mark of Tzeentch, Disc of Tzeentch, Sigil of Corruption, Powerfist/Lightning Claws, Scrolls of Magnus & Spell Familiar

Chaos Sorcerer (145)
>ML 3, Bike, Spell Familiar, Pistol & Staff

2 Chaos Marine units (240)
>5 Dudes, Meltagun, Combi-Melta Champ, Rhino w/ Dozer Blade & Dirgecasters

2 units of Chaos Terminators (224)
>3 dudes, Combiplasma & Power Axes

2 units of Chaos Bikers (222)
>Mark of Slaanesh, 2 Bike-Mounted Meltaguns, Champ w/ Lance

2 Helbrutes (200)
Multimelta & Fist

+Spawn Auxiliary+
2 units of 2 Spawn (120)

++Daemon CAD++
Herald of Tzeentch w/ Disc, Paradox, and ML 3 - 145

Blue Scribes - 81

2x Horrors (198)
>11 dudes per squad

Total: 1850

6 melta units, 2 plasma termicides, 11 power dice, familiars & paradox.

The big "wtf" is the Scrolls + Familiar for my Disc Lord. I wanted a "backup caster" in case my Sorcerer bites it, didn't want to buy a second sorcerer, and wanted to keep all bonuses inside the Warband.

>>50163658
If the dude kills someone Khorne is more likely to aid, sounds like a boon for prowess to me

>>50163643
And that's what Khorne depises, being a weakling who relies on tricks, favours or magic to do the killing.

Literally beggin Khorne to do his job for him? The Slaughterpriest's the one who'll explode in a cloud of boiling blood.

Playing Killteam using Inquisition tonight.

Squad A
Acolyte with Meltagun - Weapon Specialist - Master Craftsman - 14pts

Death Cult Assassin - Combat Specialist - Killer Instinct -15pts

Chimera 2x Heavy Bolter - Psybolt Ammo - 60

Squad B
Acolyte with storm bolter - Guerilla Specialist - Stealth - 7
Acolyte with boltgun x9 - 45

The idea is to have one squad use the Chimera as a gunboat while everyone else just shoots a ton of bolters at the enemy from across the board. While not very survivable individually, I will have 22 wounds and 3 hull points to soak up damage. Any tips?

I do a similar kind of build, but you only have 1 elite slot, so you can only have one squad. This is limiting in numbers, but nabs you some upgrades. Also, put a Dozer Blade on the Chimera, it's very helpful.

Missile pods, senpai. You have plenty of S5, grab S7 missiles on anything that can take it. Alternatively, Fusion Blasters are fantastic all-rounder weapons since they aren't as limited by range as regular melta guns.

DoW2 was cool but the actual gameplay was boring as shit due to being small squad game instead of a proper RTS like DoW1.

What do you currently have as your 500 points? Knowing that will help us to give advice on where to go next.

But the greatest rule of thumb is to get what appeals to you visually. I'd get a Ghostkeel because it's really cool model and I enjoy close-ranged firefights.

>>50164326
75 would be good if they removed the Flyer rules altogether. Fast Skimmer is fine enough for them, and all Flyer does is encourage them to stay off-table except when they want to park objectives.

FYI the Burst Cannon is a troll suggestion. You have S5 out the ass on every other platform in your army already. Crisis Suits are highly customization; make use of that to do something the rest of your army isn't.

I want to magnetise a Stompa's hull so that those fat plates just clip together and can be flatpacked for easy transport

The real question is why did GW errata out the Kustom Stompa rules? I wouldn't mind playing a stock stompa if it had powerfields as standard

Magnetize them. Crisis are a good option for that. Other than that, Plasma, Missiles, and Fusion are good choices.

Burst Cannons/Flamers only if you have more than 5 Crisis for dakka.

Ion mixes well with almost any weapon while Airburst can make hordes feel miserable but you can't twinlinked either and you can only get these on the Commander's box.

Stripped an old Battlewagon and am in the process of repainting it. Also gave me the chance to rip off the now defunct Deff Rolla and replace it with a Ram. Makes it look a bit different to my other wagons too.

Other than that, finally assembled my Promethium Relay Pipes and have been using them as a transport replacement for my Burna Boyz. Creates a nice 24" diameter denial zone around them. No-one's wanted to go near them so far.

>>50163324

Chaos isn't about power. It's about freedom. Society places boundaries on what you're allowed to do, whereas Chaos says you can do whatever you want.

In the case of the Traitor Legions, they all had their own motivations. Some wanted to endlessly fight, like they were designed to do. But the Emperor imposed limits on how much they were fighting, and made some targets off-limits, like the other Legions. Others wanted to explore knowledge that the Emperor had forbidden. And so on.

200 point kills teams. It's been a while since I dusted off my guys but it was the most fun I've had with this game. My friend and I sat down to play this one game and I lost pretty horribly but the game was cinematic enough where we want to play out this story. We made it the first engagement of several where Dark Eldar are raiding on this race's homeworld that the Tau are reeling into the Greater Good. It's very vietnam esque and a lot of fighting in the jungle.

We're also going to play out this other aspect of the fire warriors he captured being put in the arena.

I mean shit, you think I WANT to include Chosen if I had the choice?

>>50166138
Warpflame Host for that tasty torrent and anti-tank. Thinking of running three Soul Grinders with four EF and five Horror squads of 11 in a 1500 game soon, making up the rest of the points with DoS Furies to be accompanied by a summoned HoS on a steed with the locus of grace.

It's worth pointing out that Tau don't see Drones as mere machines with autopilot. The attitude towards them is closer to how humans see their animal companions such as horses or hounds.

>>50166590
That's shit too.

>>50166593
>there's probably artificial insemination drones spitroasting QT blueberries right now

>>50166590
Looks nothing like a Tau model. And that's the issue, third party models try to make the tau gritty and cool which just isn't the theme.

>>50166636
Yep, that's why they're shit. The problem with a lot of 3rd party stuff is that they get the style and theme wrong.

>>50165917
I'm the guy that posted >>50163674 and >>50162799 . The Maelstrom list is something I wouldn't seriously do (I would do it with a Daemonkin CAD instead of Maelstrom of Gore, because Bloodletters), but it's probably "as good as it gets" if you want to use that core.

I use Terminators for my mandatory Elites, just because Deepstrike/Combi-plasma is helpful. The Helbrutes were instead of Havocs, as I needed something to "move-and-fire"/add additional melee "keep-away." I've found that summoning Fiends early on makes Dreadnoughts that much scarier too.

Another thing thing I found is that the normal rule of "don't give your Champions Power Weapons" doesn't apply "as" much to Bikers in the Warband, since you have the option to buff them with Path to Glory/Favored Scions.

If you're doing anything with a Warpsmith, you should find some way to "get him across" the field. Whether that's "loaning out" a Rhino from another unit (that's why there are only two Rhinos in that Maelstrom of Gore list), attaching him to Daemonkin Flesh Hounds for Outflank, or even using Huron/Ectomancy Sorcerers to suicide him into a good position, he's expensive and you don't get mileage from him unless he's hunting tanks or hard targets. He can fire his Mechatendril Meltagun alongside another weapon, so I figure you should almost always replace his Bolt Pistol with a Combi-Melta; yes, you lose an attack in melee, but being able to double-tap an enemy vehicle/battlesuit/etc is more likely to matter in-game anyway.

Are you using Forgeworld? If so, a Purge list may give you your Iron Warriors fix more, because you can cram in even more Heavy Support.

>>50166307
Had considered it but I wasn't 100% sure what loadout to go with. I sure as shit love terminators though.

I was thinking of just taking 3 Combi Meltas, 2 Power mauls and a Chainfist.

You should use those points to let your Veterans bring more Meltaguns.

I think if you were to shuffle points around (de-squad those Basilisks, drop a Demolisher/replace with an Exterminator, etc), you could easily fit in an Emperor's Wrath artillery Battery.

2 or so Basilisks, make the third one a Manticore or so, and add another Chimera Command Squad. You get the option to give your artillery Ignores Cover, and can optionally twin-link it if you give Vox-casters to your vets.

I don't think any race other than the Tau really find Tau attractive in any kind of sexual manner.

Really the Eldar are the only exception to the rule that any xenos is pig disgusting completely unpalatable to human desires, doubly so with all the Imperial propaganda and Imperial Creed mindset.

The exception of course is 40k's /d/ but they'd probably be more interested in fucking the Vespid anyway

>>50167161
Question. Why don't you just play khorne daemonkin and start raping people ?

>>50167181
I don't have that many non-Tzeentch Daemons (20 Bloodletters, 10 Daemonettes, 10 Plaguebearers, 12 Nurglings, 10 Furies, 2 Grinders, Prince), and a lot of my CSM are visually marked Tzeentch.

I've played around with KDK, but it doesn't really help actual Chaos Space Marines very much. If I'm going to be counts-as-ing my macaroons anyways, I'd rather just go Space Wolves.

Harliquins vs raven guard.
1500 points.
Mission yet to be decided.

The raven guard offensive came to a halt last time as the battle had no clear victor.
A mixed force of dark eldar and Harliquins saw most of the dark eldar decimated by the raven guard with only a brutal counter attack by the clowns wounding their captain and destroying squad after squad of raven guard saving the day.

This time, a force comprised mainly of Harliquins will take the field, the dark eldar raid is a failure but the Harliquins of the frozen stars will lead one more attack on the humans to try and punish them for their interference.

Il post some pictures of it tomorrow if /tg/ is interested.

I'm planning on getting the Prospero Burns box and was wondering what are some ways to convert the Space Wolves stuff into Rubric Marines?

>>50167302

It's literally one dude. The Mk3 guys and Tartaros are generic kits.

>>50167161
I have so many daemons they no longer fit on their shelves, they've started spilling over in to the Orks territory.

I still want more daemons though, I still need blood crushers and plague drones and a khorne prince and... They don't even fit in the carry case anymore but I need more daemons. I can't stop buying daemons, I tried to star an Ork army but I keep going back to my main boys.

And 10 more bloodletters and a herald in a jugganaut...
