For anti-tank.

Phosphex for "I know I'm gonna get shot down, but at least I can do something before I go." since you drop them in the Movement phase and Interceptor fires at the end of your Movement phase.
>>
>>50232802
Yes, be sure to arrive outside of interceptor Dreads LoS. Use every inch(bowchiawowow) of it's range.

Phosphex bombs aren't bad, especially against aggressive enemies. But phosphex rapiers exist.

The thing with the lightning is that it has a lot of good configurations, some have better alternatives, and the Turbo Kraken build is just that good. 4 S8 AP1 armourbane shots with strafing run and tank hunters? Good night.

I thought zooming flyers came from the edge of your side of the table and moved up to 18"? But it turns out they move up to 24". Also, supersonic makes no difference in the movement phase, only allows the flyer to flat out more, or whatever the flyers' flat out move is called.

So you have mediocre characters barring Bobby G himself, the flat best legion unique units, possiby tied with Sallies and the Gal Vorbak why are ashen circle so shit. However, your Rites are fucking pathetic. So it depends on how you want to run your army-mechanised, footslogging, terminators everywhere, primarch deathstar, etc. Read the tactica linked by the other guy, read the legion army list, see what you can think of. Watch batreps on youtube or go in to your local gamestore to figure out how much the game has changed recently
>>
>>50233235
They do MSU best, but that's expensive in 30k. Their army is infantry based, but vehicles can designate targets for the infantry to use their LA rule and reroll, so squads in rhinos are better than the other legions' equivalents. And you can reach already engaged squads easier.
Suzerains are OP, Fulmentarii are what you pay for, which is a lot, and I don't know shit about Locutarii. I'm phoneposting

I have, it's just the interpretation of the force compo for the UM are quite open hence the variety of lists made for them.

You toxic little cunt.
>>
>>50233205
Zooming flyers must move a minimum of 18" and a have a maximum move of 36". I can't find anything that says you can't come out at Cruising Speed out of reserves or that this affects dropping of bombs. On a regular 6x4 table, the flyer, if moving in a straight line, can move from the table edge up to the edge of the edge of the enemy's deployment zone.
>>
>>50233292
Whoops you're right. Srry, I hope breakfast helps me wake up. Interesting tactic, would melt steel beams with.
>>
>>50233350
I've seen some people advocating for it. Probably depends on the meta. If there's bound to be AA and you really want to bring that flyer, at least you'll get a chance to drop a deuce on the enemy before getting Intercepted from the skies. It is a pair of S5 AP2 Blasts with all the Phosphex goodies attached, after all.

I absolutely agree that is probably the RAI but not necessarily the RAW. If an opponent didn't find it reasonable I would not force the issue and would concede the ruling.
>>
>>50233504
Shieeeet.
>>
>>50233548
>not necessarily the RAW
Kind of looks like forcing the RAW too.
>>
>>50233413
One. Though do note that a bomb cluster or a pylon still counts as a single bomb in terms of rules, even if it drops several blasts. Also, as far as I can read, the target doesn't have to be an enemy model. It just says "nominate one model that it passed over" which sounds like you can target your own models as well for, say, a Danger Close situation. Like if there's some model with a rule that makes you unable to target them, but you have a friendly model right next to them, you can target that friendly model and catch the enemy with the blast regardless.
>>
>>50233579

Where relevant is an awful term born from vague insurance documentation. If it had say "instead" it would be crystal clear
>>
>>50233630
Agreed. Heh, you made me think of Infiltrating the Iron Circle. Can you imagine?
>>
>>50233504

I disagree, where relevant implies that the rule needs to be present to be changed. If Gal Vorbak lack LA in the first place, the rule is not relevant to their unit entry, and will not be given to them.
>>
>>50233504
"This unit has the equipment and special rules that they would normally, howerever they have the Legiones Astartes (Alpha Legion) special rule where this is relevant, no the Legiones Astartes special rule of their parent Legion."

It doesn't give anything, they keep what they have and swap LA.
>>
>>50233689
The key is 'where this is relevant'-so wherever the unique unit stolen has Legion Astartes, it instead gains LA:alpha legion. So you can take those Gal Vorbak, or even a Mhara Ghal, they just don't get mutable tactics or power daggers
>>
>>50233748

Somewhat disappointing although it's not like gal vorbak need any help being effective
>>
>>50233787
True, although the idea of random Gal Vorbak prancing around going 'trollololollolol we trol u' to lorgar/argel tal like some 2009 /b/ goer makes me giggle

Y/n

>>50233877
Why
>>
>>50233868
Is the lack of shotguns to save points? They already have a bolter, bolt pistol, and chain axe.

Fill 'em with shotties.
>>
>>50233877
I'm not sure if you understand probability but for all that effort it just makes it equivalent to a 2+ save. Literally the same probability.
>>
>>50233885

Flavor

>>50233915

I wanted there to be a mechanical difference between terminator armor and artificer

It gives it that feeling of improved power armor
>>
>>50233938
There already are differences. Terminator armour gives you an invuln along Relentless on top of the artificer's 2+ save.
>>
>>50233938
>It gives it that feeling of improved power armor
>2+>3+

Over complicating a single-d6 system adds bloat to the game.
>>
>>50233945

Relentless on characters doesn't do very much, currently there's not that big of a difference between a praetor with Aaa and iron halo and one in Cataphractii

>>50233950

Rerolling 1's is over complicated?
>>
>>50233877
>3+
>immune to ap3
Yeah nah you're an idiot trying to fix what isnt broken. Does there need to be a difference between how Carapace plate and the various other 4+ armours work as well?
>>
>>50233968
>Rerolling 1's is over complicated?

It is when it could just as easily be a 2+. It's called streamlining. A 3+, immune to AP3, that rerolls one is anooying. Just be a 2+.

Mastercrafted carapace :^)

What would be a competitive 1k pt Luna Wolves list? I'm thinking of getting BoP and making a pre-heresy list out of it.
>>
>>50234004
Not that anon, but I don't quite agree with power swords ignoring power armour but being utterly useless against artificer. I mean invulnerable saves used to be armour saves that could never become less than a set number, back when power weapon was a rule and ignored every kind of save. Idk, like a homebrew system I once read that took armour, cover and AP into account, meaning a refractor field in the open was weaker than a terminator in cover. But well, for that to happen 40k would need to move beyond a D6 system. Not gonna happen.
>>
>>50234027
It would be a start. Have you read the Zones Mortalis rules already?
>>
>>50234066
I have the istvaan trilogy and it skims around it. Why?
>>
>>50234027
I also agree, but the problem is the 1d6 system. It's difficult to have large amounts of variety in it.

In infinity, which uses 1d20, you REALLY feel the difference between an elite in power armor vs a grunt.

40k could bump up to 1d10 or 12 so marines could feel a bit better than humans+.

I also think invul saves should be ward saves. Taken in addition to armor saves. I mean the field doesn't just say "Oh, it just AP5, I'll let the armor take it." but hey, what can ya do.
>>
>>50233853
Would be far more relevant in 40k than 30k, and still wouldn't settle the problem of AP2.
Give terminators a 1+ save

>terminators without chain fists just rock em sockem robots each other for eternity

>>50234085
I think I'm not getting what you're trying to tell me. There are rules for it in HH1 and HH3. It's like a minigame, with stratagems, alternate FOCs, Warlord Traits and such, but most of that can be ignored and the game played as 30k in a maze, with some terrain limitations.
I mean, SoH BS5 Plasma squads rapid firing without the risk of a Medusa placing a pieplate on them? With teleportation, or maybe Vet troops along with some Fearless bubbles? Don't sound too bad to me.
>>50234094
Agreed
>>
>>50233896
It's about what bitz I get from the space marine scout box. I'm using the fatigue-clad scout arms on power armoured marines to represent stripped down Pariah Armour (the proportions are fine, I've checked). 5 shotguns and 5 pistol/ccw sets to a box.
>>
>>50233896
Also, Marauders pay for their bolter, basic wargear is Pistol/CCW or ChainAxe.
>>
I don't want to kick the hive but I'm considering doing (loyalist) World Eaters as part of a Shattered Legion of Isstvan III survivors once my Imperial Fists are done. Did we reach consensus on if they receive free chainaxes or not? Does it change if they're in a Shattered Legion?

Depends if you modeled them.
>>
All I ever wanted was the truth
>>
>>50234479
They cost two points on your tacticals, unless you swap your bolters out for them. Just like chainswords. Doesn't change for Shattered Legion, I think.
>>
>>50234260
Oh, you want your anti-teq to be simple and ubiquitous?
>>
>>50233877
So your artificer armor cancels armor penetration. Then a superweapon will come out that cancels artificer armor canceling armor penetration. Then a character will come out with super-artificer armor that cancels superweapons canceling artificer armor canceling armor penetration. And it will never end.

>>
>>50234479
No we did not reach consensus. Many (most?) of us think they are free, with a more-specific-than-usual requirement that they be modeled. Some of us think you still have to buy the chainsword first. Shattered legions doesn't affect it.
>>
>>50234670

>>50234927

How durable do Thallax stats make them? Obviously I need two units for Ordo Reductor and I get two in the Legio Cybernetica bundle, but are they much more durable than termies and such?
3 wounds, yes, but only a 4+ makes them not much tougher than a 10-man infantry squad.

Terminators lose their invulernable saves in exchange for a save of 3+ on 2d6.

AP2 subtracts 2 from the roll, AP1 subtracts 4 and STR D subtracts 6. (Essentially requiring a natural roll of 5, 7 and 9 to pass, respectively)

Cataphractii and characters with invulnerable saves reduce the AP penalty by X amount

I'd actually like to roll saves on a D10, with higher AP being better to a maximum of 6 for D strength.

SO rather than arbitrary numbers subtracted for low ap, A melta becomes AP5 and subtracts 5 from the roll or counts armour as being 5 points weaker when rolling to penetrate.

The core mechanics for 40k aren't that bad, it's the thousand peripheral rules that clog up the whole system. Changing armor saves isn't the same as how fucking awful grenades work.

>>50235632
Wouldn't non native(non 30k) posts be the one that need to go back?
>>
>>50235441
Honestly quad morters are just ridiculeous. Two full units with shatter, one also phospex are just 580 points, deal with just about everything and are hard to shift with shooting.

Mass vehicles ? How about 24 shots with str 8 and reroll penetration ?
Mass infantery ? The standard ammo already does a fuckton of wounds, the phospex is just overkill in almost any scenario.
The only things mortars don't handle well is AV 14 and terminators, but there's always plenty of points left for units that can deal with that and also bubblewrap the mortars.

>we freeform RPG now
>>
>>50235781
Again, the mortars are so few points that it is very easy to also fit some AA in the list.

Personally I think Mortars should only be able to have a single ammo type, it is just way too easy to make them a swiss army knife unit, enabling the rest of your army to specialize against the few things the mortars can't handle.
>>
>>50235781
So what you're saying is, quad mortars are going to get flakk shells (S8 AP4 blast, blast hits air units, blast persists for rest of game and is dangerous terrain to air units to represent the flakk cloud left behind, heavy 4) in the next update?

>>50235057
I run 3 units of 6 as my base troops in my Reductor list. I find them far more durable than most other troop choices. There's seldom any instant death shooting thanks to t5 so your opponent is working through 18 wounds to kill off the unit, most of the time that takes concentrated firepower. In combat they also have a habit of sticking around, not winning necessarily but tarpitting elite units. I've had them hold a unit of dark furies for several turns where most other troops would fold to them. Their main weakness imo is that ld8, they break far too often and the 3d6 fall back is a bitch.

Might as well add a Blood Partridge allusion in a pear tree there too.

Does anyone have that price:points chart for all the units?
>>
>>50236200
It would work, I've used similar in the past. Photon thrusters are pretty good for them, nice and versatile. People I play against are often surprised at how manoeuvrable they can be with jetpack, definitely use that to keep them out of harm's way after you shoot.
It pays to make your thralls fearless, if you can spare the points then either fnp or carapace helps against bolters. I use mine as a retinue for my archmagos/magos ordinator combo, ablative wounds and such.
>>
>>50236191
Say what you want about this thread, but since the plastic kits came out I've seen less and less mkVII dudes being used in HH games. And that's always a good thing.
>>
>>50236791
But since the Khan doesn't have a model you will have to get a lot of Jetbiks for the WS army, and still need to get the Primarchs of the other two legions you get.

1-2 Medusas and 1-2 rapier batteries seems like a good idea for a generic list as that gives you a good ammount of fire support without running out of slots for other things like Veterans or Vindicators.

Hopefully never, that aesthetic should be reserved for possessed or 40k CSM, nothing's stopping you from adding chaos bits in your 30k stuff.

>>50238431
Could be a while. Consider that the upcoming book, Inferno, takes place before the Heresy. There are three legions that haven't been fully introduced yet, and only two of them are rumored to be in book 8 (BA/DA). That book will probably cover the early Heresy for the two legions.

Hopefully the White Scars are in book 9, which... well, we don't know what it will cover but it could be their odyssey from Chondax to Terra. They get back to Terra before the Death Guard go all Nurgley, and I don't think the Sons of Horus are very daemonic yet either. Then I'd expect a book for the Martian Civil War (Mechanicus galore) and a book for Tallarn (Imperial Army and Iron Warriors).

After that, it will be 2019 and we'll finally be ready to see the traitor legions approach Terra. By then they should be more daemonic.

For the sicaran venator, it says ordnance 2, but does not mention a blast marker, ks this just a two shot weapon with no blast, and 2 d6 for armour pen. if so is it any good? 2 strength 10 single shots seems kind if pointless to me.

Waiting on Blood Bowl because I decided to get that rather than start Mechanicum.

Not sure whether it was a good idea or not.

One one hand, no one actually plays 30/40k/AoS here.

Actually there's no FLGS here, and none of my friends are actually interested in starting 30/40k except one, but he has no money for it currently.

On the other hand, I can invite my friends to play Blood Bowl because this is something they could enjoy, but none of them will likely ever buy their own stuff.

On the other other hand, I'm going to spend so much money on paints because of Blood Bowl and it's not even funny.

Well, too late now, I already bought it!

Did you paint one dude first to get familiar with the paintscheme, and have a good plan to handle the colours that don't cover easily ?

A competitive list at 1000 points? unfortunately most people here would probably agree with the fact that it's difficult (to an extent) to run successful low point legion armies. But to actually be helpful, I would say make a delegatus and then two vet tactical squads as your core. depending on you meta i would go from there, but the BoP box may not be enough to sustain you a full army. But no the less, Kill for the living Anon

I sometimes feel like artillery for Legions was a mistake. I mean, sure it makes sense for them to have some, but it's the one thing that discourages people from bringing massed tacticals, especially in the millenium where most terminators don't teleport.
I mean there's the legions who bring the artillery, those who teleport to disrupt the enemy lines, those who infiltrate, those who shelter in their metal boxes, those who hide in forts....and then there are those who brave no man's land on foot.

If its such a problem then bring a fortification and use it as a transport or get void shield generators or use a vigilator to outflank it or a kharbydis to deep strike them. There are solutions to your problem, so use them.

Massed infantry fucking sucks, trust me Ive tried it plenty of times with Black Templars and you end up doing jack shit until turn 3.

Did a test model for my Iron Warriors.

Going to order transfers and some upgrade parts tomorrow after I've decided just what I want, the plastics look good as they are for the 4th legion.

>>50242999
10/10 give me your recipe.

I want them so bad, but for now we might as well use white scars helmet upgrades and shave off their symbols...

Also forgot i still have an unused Luna Wolves etched brass sheet. Simply just need to plan an army lists

Are there Tactical Objectives for 30k? I remember Slay the Warlord and Linebreaker as secondary sources of VP along with the usual "stand on the point / destroy an enemy unit / have more people than the DA", but I don't know what other Objectives there are

Fucking plastic babbies REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

>>50243029

>Armour:

Spray metal (I used Vallejo Gungrey but Leadbelcher would work too) -> wash 50/50 Nuln Oil/Agrax Earthshade -> Drybrush Runefang Steel -> paint Seraphim Sepia and Nuln Oil into random recesses and armour joints

>Yellow:

Averland Sunset -> Screaming Skull -> Lamenters Yellow Glaze -> Seraphim Sepia Wash (where it meets the shoulder trim)

>Eyes:

Khorne Red -> Trollslayer Orange -> White Scar -> Bloodletter Glaze

Also painted Bloodletter around the eyes to simulate glow

>>50242580
I primed white, covered the model with two coats of ulthuan grey, shaded recesses with agrax WHICH WAS A LOT HARDER THAN I EXPECTED, so it doesn't look all that great, then I went back and covered the shit areas with more grey...and highlight with white scar. it should look...okay.

Well, the fluff is a Young Adult overview of stuff you already know, Geigor is an edgy teenager's kind of character, and the rules and scenarios only apply to the game which you don't have, so you really aren't missing anything other than photos of MkIII Wolves (so, not looking much like Wolves) and MkIII TSons in their new color scheme (so not looking much like TSons).

40k used to give terminators a 3+ on 2D6 compared to power armour's 4+ on 1D6; it was shit. You still had save modifiers, but since most of them were aimed at armour that didn't get better than 2+ on a D6, the average saving throw for a terminator was going to pass pretty much anything. The whole game would revolve around five guys acting as flak magnets sometimes, and their weapons were terrifying compared to anything else. Heavy flamers had huge templates; assault cannon and storm bolters really chewed through infantry, and you were fucked if you got caught in melee because those bastards come with power fists as standard (unless you were a genestealer, which was designed to kill them).

Invulnerables were ward saves too. You'd get That Guy with his armour save and his power field saves - plural, because there was nothing you could do but argue he couldn't have two or more - and it was shit.

Streamlining the shooting phase was genius.

>>50234102
>>50233853
They were a pain in the ass when they were 1/36 kills before. Taking their saves away completely with a meltagun doesn't sound smart either.

GW has decided Heresy TS are rich matte red and gold. In the BoP paint guide they're functionally identical to Blood Angels.
FW has previously shown them to be metallic red and white/ivory in models.
BL books have consistently described them as red and silver.
The HH artbooks feature them with both gold and white as their minor color.

I imagine Inferno will include examples of all the above schemes.

>>50244654
>I imagine Inferno will include examples of all the above schemes.
Yeah I'm pretty sure CV did the same thing years ago.

I'm more worried abut the legion numbers retcon tbqh.
>>
>>50244589
I used to just walk my 5 man Termie squad down the board killing everything they could see. The biggest fear for them was rolling jams and making the assault cannon useless.

>>50244654
I do mine metallic red with bright gold trim and white legion markings

Yeah, that could be ugly. I trust Bligh and French to deal with more than Laurie though.
>>

>I trust Bligh and French to deal with more than Laurie though.
I dont even blame him. He's just trying to enforce consistency. If they'd planned this out like they claimed then we wouldnt have BoP happening two years before Istvaan and we wouldnt have 70,000 TS just chilling out in space.
>>
>>50244654
I was going to do my TS flat red a gold of some kind and white markings.
>>
>>50242999
Wow! Love the yellow. What did you use to wash the metal armor plates?
>>
>>50244755
>>50244683
They both sound rad. I think it comes down to personal preference, as all the variants are in official material. I'm doing most metallic with white trims, legion symbol and then some gold armour detail, but my Seekers are going full bling with gold trim.
>>50244752
True. The 'just add another zero' onto the old numbers approach was working well until everyone noticed it fucks the Thousand Sons / Space Wolves plot. There's gotta be a way they can unfuck it in Inferno, I hope.
>>
>>50244752
And also not all the space wolves with custodes and SoS support almost getting their ass handed to them.

Amusing as the idea is, even the yiffs aren't jobbers to that degree

>>50244793
>There's gotta be a way they can unfuck it in Inferno, I hope.
Me too Anon. However all I'm expecting is a small mention to allow for both loyalists and traitor TS. It's not FW's job to unfuck GW lore.

BoP was produced by the specialist games studio, which is actually part of the FW team, so it's really the same guys doing fluff, rules and models than in HH.

Don't forget the token random Alpha Legion company whenever they need some opponents for the loyalists but can't be bothered with coming up why a certain company/chapter from a legion is somewhere, its motivation and why the primarch isn't present.

One Question, If I decide to field Dorn with a retinue of Cataphractii, can they use IF only stuff like the storm shield and the assault cannon? Or is this option only limited to Legion Terminator Squads?

How do you guys use/outfit Warsmiths? An IW army with a Warsmith looks as the most generic and uncaring army you could have: not caring about ranged casualties, Stubborn, no Warlord Trait and lessened enemy cover.
But I don't know where to put him, as he can have one extra S8 AP2 attack, but also repairs stuff, directs robbuts and is worth an extra VP for the enemy if killed.
Also, Golg isn't a Warsmith, I cannot believe it.

The Legion Command Squad is a unit made with the ass. How come they aren't characters? Not even the 2W Standard bearer? They should all be characters, Deathshroud style
Deathshroud with power daggers, just because

>BoP was produced by the specialist games studio
I was talking about Inferno sorry if that wasnt clear. BoP has already fucked the lore , and now were just waiting to see if Inferno is going to retcon that or ignore BL again.

But I think BoP is supposed to be babies first fluff so who knows.

>>50244949
>This is gonna be a ground-up rewrite, isn't it.
I think thats the only way to salvage the situation tbqh. I just feel bad for the wolves, because at the moment they're secondary characters in their greatest 'victory' during the HH.
>>
>>50245126
RAW Legion Squads only.

>>50245153
Either Power Fist or Paragon Blade with a Volkite Charger. Combi-melta if you really want something dead.

>>50245238
There goes my hope and dreams of having Dorn's Huscarls with shields. Anyway, thanks for the info

>>50245238

>>
>>50245301
>>50245238
I like how Warsmiths can have up to eight S8 AP2 attacks, just like WE Rage Praetors.
4 base + 1 dual CCW + 1 digiweapons + 1 charge + 1 servo-arm

Detach them and use them as chain-CCWs!

I use an airbrush to spray on Vallejo Air Bone White and Dead White over a brown primer then wash the mini with AP Soft Tone. Then I drybrush Bone White and Offwhite in a generally downwards direction. It's pretty simple for how well it turns out. Give it a try and post how you go.
>>
>>50240300
I wonder if anyone has taken that top bit of the HB that the marine is holding on and turned it into like a cut down carbine or something. Looks like all it needs is a magazine put where it's attached to the heavy bolter body.

Anyone have a suggestion for a good airbrush/compressor? been eyeing up the iwata eclipse but have no idea which specific model or compressor would be good
>>50246230
that could make an interesting pariah bolter conversion

>>50246342
i think they do

>>50246258
i have one from sparmax with a tank, im happy with it
>>
>>50246258

I have an Iwata eclipse and a fairly hefty Bambi oil compressor. My logic was that, by spending twice as much on the compressor, I get one that's half as loud (about as noisy as a fridge rather than a drill) and refills very infrequently (handy when airbrushing next to your girlfriend while watching TV), and I'll never need to upgrade to a better one. If I buy a second airbrush, my first one will still be useful as a backup and for things like priming or basecoating. You never need two compressors.
