>BL vs GW conflicting canon, who wins?
Noone.

whats the best way to enjoy the 40k-verse?

Books, vidya, the war game miniature hobby, the RPGs, the card game, table top board games?

>>50205981
Instead of making baity titles, why don't you link to the previous thread?

What's wrong with you.

>>50206016
The way you enjoy it most.
That's why there are different media.

So how is everyone's sex life in 40k?

Do aliens ever rape/get raped?

Asking this question again. Im trying to get a sense for the model counts of different factions/lists at different point limits. Would anyone be as kind as to provide examples/estimates or even lists, their own or others they've saved at 750, 1250 and 1850pts, thanks in advance.

>>50206045
I'm pretty sure genestealers do.

Okay, for your armies next codex/forge world release. What is the unit from the fluff you'd like to see most with proper rules and models? Or what unit would you like to see updated?

Tyranid Dominatrix would have to be it for myself, just a massive tyranid behemoth shitting out broods and bio-firepower

>>50206055
Battlefortress'

>>50206045
It's grim. They always do it in the dark.

>>50206045
Dark eldar are always getting it

Whwn they're not trying to kill each other

Hey guys,

Myself and a friend are looking at joining a doubles tournament, 2k points, min 2 detachments. I will be playing genestealer cults and he will be playing harlequins and/or eldar. Will this combo work at all? If so what would you recommend to take?

It doesn't have to be an even split for points either.

We're both kinda new to 40k also.

>>50206055
FW release: Thallax, Castellax, Triaros transport and Tech-Thralls from 30k, and it looks like we're getting them :)
New Codex: Combined Admech dex, Melee elites are T4, I want to see the Land Crawler, but uparmoured to serve as a cheap transport.

>>50206045
There is literally a book where a SoB gets raped by a genestealer cult and she enjoys so much she comes back to get impregnated a second time.

Add melta bombs to the troops, and storm bolters to the Exorcists.

Another Dom Squad and Loud Hailers to both

Retributers x10
Heavy Bolter x4
Simulacrum Imperialus

Battle Sisters x20

Why did the Emperor let Magnus and the rest start training Librarians if he wanted to get rid of them anyways? Why did the Emperor want to remove such a potent and, at times, necessary component from the Legions? At what point post-Heresy was the Edict of Nikaea rescinded? Did it ever actually get rescinded, or did everyone just kinda awkwardly bring their Librarians back on the sly?

I hope you are still here. Here's my magnets, same model with and without a gun and a gun to show magnets. You could magnetize both arms but my magnets were strong enough to keep it together with only 1.

>>50206340
>Why did the Emperor want to remove such a potent and, at times, necessary component from the Legions?
Because he had trust issues. And bad writing.

>At what point post-Heresy was the Edict of Nikaea rescinded?
It was rescinded by Guilliman after the HH when he was in charge.

>did everyone just kinda awkwardly bring their Librarians back on the sly?
This as well though. Most of the legions didnt give a shit (see SW rune priest despite argue against the program) and BA librarians were used during the siege of terra for example.

I bought a blood angels command squad, BA vanguard vets, angels blade and chaos raptors to start my BA army.

Who are the edgiest BA chapter I could make? Knights of blood?

>>50206055
Thunderhawk Transporter. I'd like to see its rules be better able to allow the vehicles to rapidly embark/disembark rather than requiring the transporter to sit around. Also for FW to bring it back.

>>50206235
Which book please? For science, of course

>>50206055
Super Chaos Rhino Chassis Update.

Basically a build-your-own-Rhino-variant, starting with the core Chaos Rhino and allowing you do everything from making it an open-topped fast vehicle to an AV14 Heavy Leman Russ wannabe. For Force Org purposes, any variant with a Transport Capacity will be Fast Attack and available as a Dedicated Transport for anything that can normally take a Rhino. Any variant that loses the Transport Capacity is Heavy Support.

>>50206375
SW clearly gave zero shits about the Edict. Fear to Tread tells us that the Blood Angels just folded their Librarians back into the line companies and that the Imperial Fists imprisoned theirs.

What did the other legions do?

>>50206570
Not sure about every legion but World eater didnt care but ended up killing them. Word Bearers kept theirs as did the white scars.

>>50206340
>Why did the Emperor let Magnus and the rest start training Librarians if he wanted to get rid of them anyways?
because black library didn't think very hard about that particular retcon when they added it in

Do you only play against orks and nids or something?

>>50206570
>>50206598
Dark Angels also turned their Librarius into regular battle-brothers, but they were reintroduced when the Lion's flagship was attacked by daemons. I think it was in Fallen Angels? I don't remember.

World Eaters kept theirs, but mostly because their Librarius was tiny since the Butcher's Nails killed psykers when inserted, so it wasn't worth the effort to dismantle.

I imagine the Ultramarines also put their Librarians back into line companies, or whatever role they had before becoming Librarians.

>>50206625
Nikaea has always been retarded since it moved away from some vague ban on sorcerery. They really should have established an actual distinction between the two and kept Nikaea as anti-sorcery but not anti-psykery.

>>50206530

>>50206340
In old lore he said no to wizards(making deals with the Warp), and Magnus wanted to be a wizard and a psyker.

>>50207236
Youre thinking of sorcerer Anon. But yes these days there is no difference between a psyker and a sorcerer.

>>50206047
At 750, I have 30 models on the dot. Ghostkeel, 6 crisis suits, 12 fire warriors, 8 drones (6 gun 2 stealth), an Ethereal, and two drone turrets.

Taking my Salamanders to my shop today for my first 1000pt game against Imperial Guard.
This will only be my sixth game, I play two 500pts and three 750pts and the marines have been doing well.

Salamanders 1000

Librarian - 105
>Level 2, Combi Melta, Melta Bomb

Sternguard Veteran Squad - 200
>5 Marines w/ Combi Melta, Serg w/ Meltabomb, Drop Pod

Tactical Squad - 185
>10 Marines, Multi-Melta, Rhino

Tactical Squad - 200
>10 Marines, Plasma Gun, Combi-Plas, Rhino

Assault Squad - 180
>10 Marines, 2 Flamers

Devestator Squad - 130
>5 Marines, 4 Plasma Cannons

Where should I go from here? More bodies in the Devastator Squad?

I am also one Tactical squad away from a demi Company but then I couldn't use my Librarian.

>>50206055
XV46 armor from the FFG RPGs. It's Tau terminator armor between Stealth and Crisis suits in size, basically.

That, or more auxiliaries.

>>50207409
You aren't really using your chapter tactics and you list looks like you need vulkan

>>50207409
honestly that looks really solid. maybe get rid of some special weapons for more devastators

>>50206632
...why would you bother putting magnets and swapping bits on a metal army? it'd be easier to recast them yourself

>>50207456
I would love to fit Vulkan in at higher point levels.
I usually roll my Librarian on Pyromancy because it makes me feel all warm inside.
Also I did put two flamers in the Assault Squad.
My Librarian also Mastercrafts his combi bolter.

>>50206047
Ork horde armies will have around 80-100 boyz at 750, 100 at 1250, and 200 boyz at 1850

>>50206055
I Want conversion rules for orks.

>>50206330
Thank you. This is very helpful.

>>50207409
It's a solid list, some suggestions include:
Add more marines to the dev team
Remove the flamers from the assault marines, it can deny them the charge
Give the multi-melta guy a melta gun, since it's not a heavy weapon

>>50207472
Well I figure my next step would be between 1250-1500 so I could definitely fit in more Devastators.
Alternatively I could get another 5 Sternguard and put them in another Drop Pod.
My playgroup is pretty small but all together friendly.
The four usual guys I will be playing have Orks, SoB, Imperial Guard, Imperial Fist, Tyranids and Space Wolves.
So I figure I have armor to take out against most of them and they all field a good amount of models at 1000pts.

>>50206026
Fuck you if you want link to the previous threads then do it yourself when you made the next thread.

>>50207368
Yeah I forgot to add there was a difference back then. Still doesn't make sense. Sorcerers have to wear flaming goat fetuses and draw daemonic symbols in order to use cheap knock off psychic powers and psykers don't.

What armies, besides IG and Tau, can do gunlines? I like the idea of sitting behind a fortification and just pinging hordes to death. Would Imperial Fists work since they love forts?

>>50206481
Flesh Tearers.

>>50206570

Night Lords exiled their Chief Librarian, Fel Zharost, who winds up on Terra and either dies or gets recruited by Malcador; all the other Librarians were just palmed off onto their Chapter Masters/Captains to decide whether they wanted to follow the Edict on a company-by-company basis. Being Night Lords, I assume most kept theirs purely because they were told not to.

Knights of Blood(their has been declared renegades, but are still loyal)

Would you guys consider ork kustom mega weapons to be plasma?

Who do you think will win in next IA book? Tau vs Imperium.

>>50207808
that's it, but the other armies can do shooting as well you'd just have to get out of your deployment. my eldar are going to be a fast short ranged shooting army

Swap the meltas for flamers, give the libby the tome relic, salamanders shouldn't field plasma we can do very little with it, if your set on it then only take the combi plasma on srgnt as you get the free master craft that can help. Swap the plasma cannons on devs for missiles you'll get far more milage. Does the assault squad have jump packs? If yes then combat squad them 1 flamer a squad, if not then they sorely need a transport.

I don't think the EC ever had Libbies ever to begin with. If I'm remembering correctly it was because the psyker gene was seen as an imperfection.

Is GSC forgiving to play with for a terrible player?

I bought the Kill Team box, and looking at the datasheets in the back the Tau are far less points than the marines. Is there any way I can build the Tau included in the box so they're closer to 200 points? I wasn't really planning on buying any more Tau figures than the ones included in the box, at least at this point.

Is the Breacher Team more points than the Strike team?

Star phantoms guy here again, tweaked my list a bit and looking for help from experienced space marines.
Here's what I've got:

HQ
Captain
- cataphractii terminator armor
- combi melta
- chain fist

Chaplain
- maybe plasma pistol, might drop

TROOPS
10 man tac squad
- melta
- Combi melta
- missile launcher
- drop pod

10 man tac squad
- plasma
- combi plas
- missile launcher
- drop pod

10 man tac squad
- flamer
- combi flamer
- h. Bolter
- drop pod

10 man tac squad
- plasma
- combi plas
- Missile launcher
- plas/las razorback

ELITES
5 cataphractii terminators (kitted for assault, captain will deepstrike with them)
- 3 with 2 lightning claws each
- 1 with heavy flamer and chain fist
- sarge with m.c. power sword and lightning claw

FAST ATTACK
Stormtalon
- twin linked lascannons

HEAVY SUPPORT
Contemptor pattern dreadnought
- multimelta
- powerfist w combibolter
- drop pod


My plan is to have only the razorback with the combat sqauded tac squad on the table, and drop pod assault everything else in, pop chapter tactics and gun everything down thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

>>50207808

The Imp Fists are pretty good at bolter marine gunlines when deployed in their meta formation in angels of death, this is because they get to reroll all to hit rolls with bolter weapons and I think they get bonuses to destroying buildings.

its not competitive, but it works

>>50208268
Swap the plasma for a grav pistol, this means that in combat and in shooting your Chaplin forces I1.

>>50208289
Wow, I didn't know it did that. Will do.

Also, if my heavy/spec weapon combos on the Marines don't make sense it's because I want to combat squad them all and have msu so hopefully it's harder to kill them straight out of the pods.

Not many people know, it's not a over powerd fun tactic but it does have its uses.

>>50208487
>How about with plasmas?
No. The reason you're taking them is to put that short ranged AP1 Melta firepower in a position you can use it. Plasma both doesn't need to be as close and has effective alternative platforms (e.g. Executioner) that you can include with the main force of your army. Small squads, melta.

That's perfect, Anon.

>>50208606

Its not a Necron sword for a few reasons

It was found on a planet with deamons not Necrons, he took it from a statue and found it worked really well.

Its side effect (stealing the life force of others that it cuts down) isn't something the necrons would have the ability to do because they are not considered alive, so whats the points of having a sword that gives you life force if you can't use it.

>>50208681
Even so I think rumors have reached the critical mass that the question is no longer if SoB happen, It's how they happen. I'm very sceptical of the SoB in the starter set rumors for example.

>>50208687
That ship sailed long ago with Cadians and Catachans.

>>50208709
Steals the life of its user? Uncorrupted by deamons despite being on a plannet of them?
Guys it's Doom guys missing sword from the latest game.

>>50206055
I want the Dangles (hello ladies) to get some of the spacies toys, Cataphractii termies, Centurions, and other things they should have, what with having so much older stuff compared to other chapters.

Also Cents should be a lot cheaper than they are. It's retarded to field a full squad and even 3 cost more than the way more lethal Deathwing.

>>50208709
C'tan?

>>50208709
Well to be honest the life-stealing could be just some time fiddling that crypteks are capable of. It was found from a planet that had some serious anti-warp shit on it to shut down a gateway which could be necron origin.

Spoilers for The Path of the Dark Eldar below, I'm just going to spoilertext the whole thing because reasons:

Asdrubael Vect's Castigators
They are Dark Eldar Wraithguard made out of captured soul stones and stolen wraithbone. They are described simultaneously as being tortured to provide power for the body, but also being tricked into believing they are fighting for their Craftworlds. When crushing Vect's enemies, they see themselves as heroes defending their homes and families against whatever their enemy of choice is. They're one of Vect's ultimate contingency plans and basically portrayed as fucking unstoppable.

Throw 5 of them in a Raider and you could have some top keks.

>>50208763

I mean yeah that could be a possibility but that doesn't make sense. Why would the necrons give other races the ability to live forever in their organic forms and strike down demons just doesnt make sense considering how covetous and greedy they are.

>>50208750

This makes sense, the C'tan could be using the sword to corrupt farsight into bringing the C'tan back together again. This could be what causes the end of the Tau empire.

>>50208772
I don't know shit about casting. I've read guides and it's tempting but I don't have a proper workspace to play with hot metal nor the balls to do it.

better question: how would you magnetize one-part casts

There's literally nothing to magnetize in that army, beyond maybe the HQ if you flip-flop on going with a pistol or a combi-bolter.

>or the grav option becomes vastly more expensive

Needs to happen regardless.

>>50208934
>>50208910
Or neuter grav

>>50208950
Honestly, the anti-vehicle effect grav is perfectly fine. It's just the way that it works against infantry that's fucked, and I don't know how to fix it. Ideas?

>>50208975
Just make all grav weapons ap-, it's just that armour just folds and "crushes" the person wearing it with no resistance.

>>50208975
I'd argue the other way, grav among other things has further reduced vehicle power. Make them wound on inverse toughness with no ap so you can put wounds on MCs and such but are less useful against infantry.

>>50208902

Hey guys, just finished a new colour scheme form Dark Eldar force im building. I posted a warrior earlier and you guys ripped it to shreds but I took your advice and tried a few new things with this one.

>>50209275
I think you're literally the only person who's ever posted a photo too small in one of these threads, damn.

From what I can tell, you've got a good scheme going. The orange looks thick, like the wash you used is pooling. Otherwise, no complaints at this size of image.

>>50209026
Funny in a good way, it just makes me think of a techmarine driving around just screaming at stuff to be fixed or the masters of the forge are going to have his hide.
"You! Your not immobilised, it's all in your head"

"BROTHER? ARE YOU WELL? YOUR VOX SEEMS TO BE MALFUC- BY THE THRONE MY LEGS HAVE RE GROWN!"

>>50209295

Yeah I had to paint over the blue on the orange so it came off pretty thick for that model. And It was my first time using Nuln oil and wasn't sure how much to put on.

Appreciate it though!

>>50209275
Better scheme, still need to thin your paints, the orange would look better if it was red fading to yellow fire style.
7/10 improvement.

>>50209202
What army are you?

>>50209332

So for the thinning paints i first dip my brush and get some paint on it, then dip it a bit in the water and do a few strokes on my pallet before applying to the model. Is this correct or am i doing it wrong?

>>50209348
Harlequins.

>>50209368
I know you lost, but how'd it go?

>>50209362
The way Duncan does it, he dips his brush in the paint, puts that on the pallet, THEN dips his brush in the water and mixes on the pallet. That's not how I do it, because my workspace isn't large enough for a pallet to not get in the way, but it's the simplest way to go about it.

>>50209381
Sorry, I was memeing. I wasn't that guy.

That's because both Alphaius was a Primarchlet and Alpha Legionnaires were tall even for space marines.

>>50209400

>>50209404
Yeah but, my point is, they're not 30ft tall. Otherwise that makes The Beast 60ft tall minimum.

Dark Eldar

I screened my deployment with the 9 Reavers I had available to survive turn one and H&R to charge back and killed 2 squads of his, he locked my Dark artisan in combat with some disgusting squad.
Turn 2 he destroyed all 4 of my Venoms and left my squads exposed and killed all my bikes in combat
My ravagers did nothing all game (they've since been retired for being shit).
Turn 3 he killed everything bar the Dark Artisan locked in combat, turn 4 I was wiped out by the full forced of 27 Genestealers converging on him.

It was Purge the Alien and ended up like 14-9 to him but even if it had been a tac objective game he could have deployed on them and won that way. His only advise was "take flamers", but all Deldar get for that is liquifiers and medusae which don't feature prominently in my army

Note to self: if playing GSC bring more Covens, fuck them for bringing cheese against a shit codex, I will just tailor.

FUCKING SHILLS GET OFF MY BOARD!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So, I'll ask again, can I read HH books out of order? I want the next months HH book, but I don't really give a fuck about the rest.

What should I focus on for my guard army to kill marines?

I use two Exterminator Leman Russ(es?), 2 Chimeras for two squads of Veterans that I usually give 3 special weapons to in each squad. (I like one with Melta and one with Plasma). Then I run two Autocannon Armored Sentinels in different units. I've been playing since the Start Collectings came out but haven't expanded too much since. (I have heavy weapon teams and commissars I do not use)

Everyone and their mom at my shop seems to be playing a version of space marines.

Wyverns look good, probably pick up at least one more squad of veteran squad. I definitely prefer a mechanical army.

I'd love to just get an assault ramp on a rhino.

>>50209899
Well it's not like you don't already know what happened.

>>50209875

At higher points I run the Corpse Theif mainly instead of the Dark Artisan, but I add in some Scourges and an archon (I want some mandrakes but with an army already so weak vs ignore cover I can't justify it even though I love them). Yeah I didn't tailor it's my all comers list I'm testing vs my friends.

His list was

Flying Hive Tyrant
2 chimeras with 10 cultists
Some kind of tank
A sentinel
Patriarch with 10 genestealers and a Primus (this fought my artisan)
9 squads of whatever brand of Genestealer has 5+ invul

Apparently it gave him some kind of formation that let him do something.

>>50209952

Yeah GSC formations are fucking ridiculous, pretty sure some give you infinite summoning or similar, I don't know since I didn't actually bother reading it and this is second hand.

I actually find that Mandrakes absorbing some of the enemy's ignore cover fire can be helpful. I basically just deploy them with the expectation they will die without accomplishing anything, and then harass until something shoots them to death. Also between them and DSing stuff it can help with giving the other guy too much stuff to shoot at.

Hey I'm working on some writefaggotry and wondered ifn y'all might be able to learn me some knowledge?

1. Whats the proper form of address for an enginseer (Mr., Master, His Excellency, senpai, etc)?

2. What's the proper form of address for a chapter master? I know a captain is Brother-Captain in a lot of chapters but Brother-Master sounds goofy.

3. Based on my reading of the Uplifting Primer it doesn't look like there's any officer/enlisted division. If a sergeant gets a promotion to lieutenant do they pull him out of theater to go to remedial OCS courses (this doesn't seem grimdark enough for the imperium)?

4. Is the 3rd Armageddon war supposed to still be ongoing?

5. Are Jokero still a thing or have they been squatted?

6. Is there any existing fluff concerning the IG equivalent of combat engineers?

7. Do Kasrkin HAVE to be Cadian?

I want to see a campaign where the Tau try to get friendly with a SoB shrine world, and end up drowning in angry Promethium.

>>50209952
The Cult Insurrection=Universal deployment.

The Chimeras/Sentinel/Leman Russ are his core, which basically lets them all Outflank (a regular Sentinel gets that fancy Cult Ambush)

All GSC Genestealers get invuls. The rest all sounds like he took "non-formation" auxiliaries.

Ravagers are pretty bad nowadays alas. Realspace Raiders would probably work better instead, with "moar Reavers" (whee), or even a few small squads of Incubi (The Klaivex is cheap but the Demiklaives are overcosted).

I've read about the Corsairs+Grotesques being a thing, as Grotesques with Shimmershields are particularly annoying to remove. :>

>>50209980
I would prefer to stick to my codex instead of having to buy a whole different book.

Though my friend was saying I could use the Militarum Tempestus start collecting formation because it comes with a dataslate in the box.

Basically I know I will have to deal with a bunch of Sv3 and some t5 bikes and drop pods eventually.

How would another vet squad and some artillery, maybe a third Leman Russ but the Executioner work out?

The Armies and Chapters I know that are played are DA (with half bikes), Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Raptors, Imperial Fist, KDK, CSM/daemons

There is also a Dark Eldar and Ork player

>5. Are Jokero still a thing or have they been squatted?

They're in a number of recent codexes. I forget which one it is or even which faction, but someone was dumb enough to shoot at one of their ships as it floated by peacefully, and were promptly BTFO by a super-weapon.

>7. Do Kasrkin HAVE to be Cadian?
Yes, but there are other IG Storm Trooper groups. Kasrkin are Cadians in the same way that SOCOM is American but other states have equivalents.

>>50210085
>>50210126
Many regiments copy Cadia in almost everything. There could easily be "Kasrkins" from other regiments.

>>50210085
also for 7. cadian gear and training and stuff is emulated galaxy-wide because they're so well-known/respected. so non cadians from a world that is copying their style could have their own kasrkin like units in appearance/gear. depending on training could be as good as kasrkin or worse or whatever.

>>50210175
It was the Deathwatch who got beaten up.

>>50210098

I'm in the process of building some Corsairs and I love grotesques so that might be the route I take eventually. Thanks for the solid advice.

>>50210153
What does a Jokaero ship even look like?

>>50210098
>Corsairs+Grotesques being a thing, as Grotesques with Shimmershields are particularly annoying to remove.

How? Giving the Prince a Shimmershield is a fucking waste when he can have a 20pt Shadow Field, and IIRC Barons have to deploy with a Corsairs unit and can't leave it ("Tyrant" special rule).

I guess if you stick the Void Dreamer with them and give him a Shimmershield then you don't need a transport so long as you get that "go anywhere" power (or if you read "may select" as "pick whichever you want")

>>50210064

That sounds cool though my friends and I are sort of at the level of play that we know what to ignore and what to prioritise (I don't play any PuG) so unless they can actively kill something/achieve something rather than holding an objective I can't warrant taking them even if love the models.

Plasma isn't a terrible choice even for Salamanders. I have one tac squad with plasma/combi-plas for tactical flexibility. The shitty range on flamers and melta weapons is something any decent player will try to exploit if they know you're playing Salamanders. That being said he does have a lot of melta weapons for a 1000 point game. Work in a flamer/combi-flamer tac squad in there if you can to get more use out of Chapter Tactics.

Actually, here's what I want.

The Tau propaganda bomb an imperial world that has a small unit of battle sisters guarding a shrine. The local forces join the Tau after meeting with an ambassador. When the Tau forces begin landing, the Sisters make a big stink, but the IDF tell them it's fine. The Sisters request reinforcements from their order and begin to make plans to purge.

The Tau send a message to the shrine looking to negotiate, the Sisters accept, and then burn the ambassadors when they arrive. The Tau then send Human ambassadors thinking it would be better for the humans to convince them, but all meet fiery deaths. The Tau then send scout teams to investigate, but are caught by waiting Dominion squads.

At this point, the Tau send a proper force to remove the Sisters, but are met by Avenger Strike fighters as the the rest of the sisters arrive on planet. The Sisters then begin to mount an assault on the nearest city with with Repentia filled rhinos leading the armor column. Upon arrival, the repentia are let loose and begin cutting down the heretic citizens, battle sisters begin engaging the IDF, and Seraphim get into position for the incoming Tau.

I'm imaging a big city fight against the Tau with Dominion, Seraphim, and even Repentia squads hidden all throughout ready to ambush, while the sisters engage in guerrilla warfare. Imagine a Riptide lands at an intersection, take its shots on a nearby Unit, then all of the sudden, a mob of Repentia burst out of a wall and chop it down. Meanwhile, a squad of crisis suits moves to engage a unit of Seraphim that have been sweeping ground troops, but are met with a waiting unit of Dominions.

Best part is it would be pic related.

Maybe it will be that Shrine World Piety that got sucked in and then disgorged from the Warp as a Chaos tainted world.

The lore mentioned the Sisters apparently braved a tomb infested with Khorne and Nurgle Daemonic Beasts to retrieve relics before the Grey Knights showed up to purge the planet.

>The Uplifting Primer is in-universe bullcrap. Almost none of it is true.

I am aware but I figured the "how rank works" section would be more accurate than most anything else. After all when it says you'll get your ass shot if you disagree with any order from anybody outranking you it absolutely IS telling the truth.

8. what do you call someone from Armageddon? An Armagedian?


Aside from loader is there any reason ratlings couldn't serve in tank crews?

My writefaggotry features an IG unit that was formed from unit leftovers at the end of a major campaign specifically a leman russ squadron (formerly of the armageddon steel legion) that lost a bit over 2 tanks worth of crewmen due to chemical weapons and has since replaced about 1/3rd to 2/5ths of their losses with ratlings.

>atm instead of portraying them as lazy mexican steriotypes all but one of my ratlings have ridiculous french accents and act like they're proud soldiers of le Grande Armee! Vive l'Emperer!
>the remaining ratling is the sole survivor of a ratling unit from a different planet and is every bit the lazy mexican

>>50210748
This is assuming the tanks have had ratling appropriate booster seats etc installed.

Orks: boost Initiative and WS across the board, reduce point costs for heavier units.

Balewind Vortex as a portal glyph. Is this a good idea? Considering painting one up for my friend as an Christmas gift. He bought me some stealthsuits yesterday for early Christmas gift.

>>50210684

Repentia get 4+ FnP and AoF let's them always assault and are only removed as a casualty at the end of the phase.

Dominions AoF gets to choose Ignore Cover or Twin Link

Seraphim AoF get to choose Shred or Bladestorm

Retributers AoF get Relentless and either Rending or +12" range (torrent for flamers)

Celestians get combi and power weapon options. AoF let's them shoot or attack twice.

Battle Sisters AoF gives Preferred Enemy or blesses an objective (same A demonic corruption)

Canoness and command squad get jump pack options.

>>50210684

>Lord Commissar
Give Senior Officer and Voice of command special rule. Drop cost to 50 points.

>>50210899
Literally the only problem with SoB is that AoF are one use. As soon as they're back to a quasi-psychic phase, they'll be fine.

Repentia need to be reduced by 4 points.

Are hydra tanks supposed to be incapable of depressing their turret down enough to engage ground targets?

>>50210967
>Why can't this AA gun shoot at ground targets?

>>50210967
Hydras can fire snapshots at ground targets.

>>50210955

That's not entirely true because they're restrictive on the unit, whereas back in 3rd, they were rather open.

Dominions can take flamers, but why would you because of ignores cover? At least TL in 5th let them reroll wounds.

Seraphim get shred, which even further negates the usefulness of inferno pistols.

Rending on the Rets is fine, but memes aside, is useless with Multi-meltas, which are already a poor choice because of heavy short range.

Celestians are useless because they're over costed battle sisters with a combat oriented AoF and no combat options.

Even 10 point repentia are worthless because they have no delivery system and no protection. In 3rd, they had a 4+ save, 5th was 6++ and full FnP and an AoF that let them get a single basing off when they died, but they are actually worthless in 7th.

It's true that sisters could be a lot worse, but they're still pretty far from their only problem being their AoF

Where can I find the Imperial Militia?

Trying to find a drug pack to put on his waist/lower back. If not I'll make some Green stuff fur down his back.

My friends even offered to let me use some house rules to recreate The Duke, but I think that'd be difficult and awkward.

>>50210967
>>50211040
>>50211106

I get that they're optimized for AA but I feel like any difficulties that might cause in ground targets should be more than mitigated by the fact that ground targets can't juke up or down and aren't moving like 400 mph. I feel like a hydra should be able to seriously fuck up ork trukks and warbikes and the like (compared to say a pair or normal turret-mounted auto-cannons)

>>50211102

>wyches
I think the invul and just Ap2 on a 6 would be enough. Maybe make them cheaper. Let Bloodbrides roll twice on drugs.

>mandrakes
Give them the Daemon USR and cover hopping.

>>50211102

Mandrakes aren't totally useless. But cover teleport would be cool and fluffy.

Bonus points for allowing them something like this:

>From the Shadows: A unit of Mandrakes may enter the game from Ongoing Reserves, but may only deploy into cover. When deploying in this matter, the unit does not scatter. If an enemy unit is located in the cover, each mandrake which deploys this way may immediately make d6 Hammer of Wrath Attacks before deployment. After the HoW attacks, resolve deployment as follows: if any of the remaining Mandrakes cannot deploy fully within the cover due to enemy units blocking their deployment, any individual Mandrake which cannot deploy is destroyed.

Maybe that's retarded idk

>>50210608

The Void Dreamer is the one, yes. Move powers in general are nice to have.

>>50211177
It's an AA gun, it might be able to do good damage to ground targets, but it really isn't what it's designed for.

>>50211192

why arnt Mandrakes good for city fighting, seems like that should be their niche

>>50211185

Mini Mawlock Mandrakes, I like it! the move between covers would be sweet and make for some nice objective grabbing or assassination attempts... maybe give them something to make them character killers since that's their fluff

>>50211239

>Daemon
>EW

This isn't 5th, man. Daemon would give them a 5++ save and fear, the latter being the important bit.

As for the drugs, I hadn't thought about them being stackable, but why not for the BBs?

>>50211215
I'm not disagreeing with that. I guess I'm just saying that only hitting ground targets on a 6 is way more punitive than is warranted.

>>50211278

My bad! Stackable drugs on the bloodbrides would be great, potential str 5 with the special weapons would be fantastic

how do I submit a question to duncan?

>>50211049
Yeah but giving them everything you mentioned makes them 'too good' and people will moan. AoF being changed, Repentia being reduced in cost, that's good enough. Celestines are also better WS and Ld Battle Sisters. Same everything else.

We need some slightly different units. I'd like a unit which is used like Veterans with their doctrines.

Who knows any more.

>>50211027

The Hydra is based on a real life vehicle that can fire both at ground and air targets.

>>50211364

I don't think those changes are "too good" because they're only once per game. People will moan anyway. Hell, my eldar friend moans constantly when we play.

Celestians having higher WS than battle sisters doesn't mean anything because you still never want them in combat even though their AoF says they want to be in combat. Also, remember that Celestians ARE our veterans, but they have no vet options. Instead, those options are found in the command squad.

There isn't a way to do it. At least, not officially. You could use his Linkiden profile or whatever. There is no actual contact thing.

My best guess is to ask on the Warhammer 40k Facebook.

>>50211418
That's pretty difficult. My belief is, you basically paint it black, then used object source lighting to make it 'visible' partly. So, have a fire/searchlight over part of the model.
