Warhammer 40k General

Cogheads should be executed. They are all Necron traitors in waiting.

How big is the sword of a dreadknight? Would it look good in the hand of an imperial knight?

It's legit that they're posting rumors though.

Last night told the girl I'm in love with I don't want to see her anymore because she's a shitty friend. When will these damn cultists come in the mail I need a distraction/something to build zzz

47KB, 676x857px

So I took the suggestions from when I posed my 800pt KDK list to build the slaughtercult and I have to say, this thing sucks.

Possessed are complete trash, even when I borrowed a rhino, I have an extra unit of useless bloodletters and I can't use my Bloodcrushers or Skull Cannon now.

If it wasn't for my Gorepack and Juggernaught riding Lord with the Flesh Hound I wouldn't even put up a fight.

My thoughts now are to revert back to a CAD and ally in CSM with Nurgle for some more decent bikes OR I could start trying the demon machines like a Soul Grinder, Heldrake or Forgefiend.

>>50263095
Woops, that forgefiend shouldn't be there I was just looking at its stats.

It is just a 1000pt list that has lost three out of three games since I completed this new configuration

>>50263036
When rolling to-hit w Tesla it makes and additional 2 hits on sixes. This would be perfect for overwatch since you can only hit on sixes anyway.

They nerfed this for Tesla and any other special rule that increases hits on sixes.

>>50263007

Is that a Dwarven rune at the bottom right?

>>50263109
I figured they would be. I actually am just starting up a Tau army, and a friend of mine is just starting guard, so I'm going to be semi converting/painting the cultists as just a human mining team from IA3, and we're probably going to be playing mostly killteam games/scenarios. I already have a couple very shitty Ogryn built out of spare sprus from when my older brother converted some fantasy ogres into grotesques and whatever other sprus I had lying around. Him, my chaos buddy and I are planning on having some gnarly 3 way humie battles

>>50263182
SQUAAAAATS CONFIRM^^^^

::signal lost

>>50263120
I can try, but I am fairly new:

>Game # 1 vs. Necrons

Tombblades devoured my bikes and were able to ignore cover
My troops and possessed footslogged around and got wrecked by Warriors and Immortals respectively
The Juggerlord was able to kill his Warlord when the Flesh Hounds and Lord charged the warrior squad

Final Score 5-3

>Game # 2 vs. vs. Space Wolves

Thunderwolves decimated anything they touched, which was all my bloodletters and possessed.
Long Fangs did a lot of damage to the Flesh Hounds before and after the unit took out some Grey Hunters

Final Score 6-3

>Game # 3 vs. Ultramarines

He brought a "Demi Company" and his troops were all in metal boxes so they were faster and more durable than mine.
His Assault Squad and Jump Captain got wrecked by my Juggerlord's unit
Devastators sat back and blew my army to hell

Final Score 6-2

Basically my units aren't tough enough to cross the field and I do not have enough shooting to be relevant from a distance.

>>50263245
>Basically my units aren't tough enough to cross the field and I do not have enough shooting to be relevant from a distance.

That is a fair basic analysis.
I do not play CSM or KDK but I have seen them both a few times.

Maybe get a second gorepack all together, they seem to do really good.

Pick up some Dinobots if you want, I know the soulgrinder is alright. Definetly pick up a Heldrake when you get to bigger games.

>>50263245
Yup, sounds like 40k

See if you can borrow a Tau army for a game
I did last week, remarkably fun when you don't need to think beyond 'shoot the closest, fastest thing'

>>50263007
It must be a new tyranid unit! ..r-right guys? :(

>>50263245
KDK is all about melee and melee is all about being unkillable and fucking fast. Shittons of fleshhound, Cabal (formation from Black Legion), Chaos/Renegade Knight, bikers etc. Idea is to get, get there was & intact and then wreck face. Chaos Knight is good (its from FW) since its allowed to take that Legacy of Ruin which gives +1inv to Daemon of Khorne saves and it can become Daemon of Khorne itself. Knight with 4++ and 3++ on one side is tough nut to crack.

Okay, I'm starting up a fairly small (1000-1500 points, say, to begin with?) army of sorts after years and years.

For now, I'm settled on:

> Imperial
> Inquisition Presence is required
> No wolfs, grape kniggits or angles.

but beyond that, I'm not really sure.

I'm considering putting together something along the line of Deathwatch + Ordo Xenos, or possibly a mostly mechanised guard alongside an Ordo Hereticus inquisitorial detachment, though I'm also tossing around other ideas, including, but not limited to, scions and the mechanicus.

I'd like a fairly shooty and fairly durable army, all things told, but I have no idea about what works and what doesn't, these days.

Thoughts, suggestions?

>>50263341
Guard are quite durable so long as you play fully mech. Your dudes will die if they are not hiding in boxes. Inquisitors make excellent support characters for them, though, being essentially sidegrades to Commissars except they can moonlight as Divination psykers too. They are a shooty army too, though all of the factions you listed are fairly shooty, just in different ways.

This is for a casual setting though. Due to the prevalence of grav and haywire, vehicles are less durable than they look in today's meta, but you can still have fun with them otherwise.

Does anyone remember seeing any reference to the 1st Armageddon Steel Legion anywhere in any of the stuff GW has published.

I'm working on a regiment (via Only War and some other stuff though if I do decide to start a guard army in 40k it'd be them) that for reasons would be one of the very first regiments founded and while debating what number to assign it and looking through the wiki I realized I could just make them the first which would totally rock with the fluff I have for them.

trukk has a lot of gubbins you might better use elsewhere, if you buy the wazbom blastajet and make one for the earlier bombas of dakkajet you have a wholesprue leftover

the basic ork boys kit has both shootas and pistol/CCW for all so if you want to use a AOS ork kit for more ork variety you get the bits to convert them there

Our shop usually plays at 1500/1750/2000 in that order. That is usually when they start bringing them but apparently the Archeron player brought it at 1000 with his small SoB force against a newer Tyranid player and was a pretty big shitter about it.

In the same sense that you'll need to tailor against infantry or flyers or tanks or psyker or bikes or artillery or any of the other myriad threats your list may face.

>>50264266
They're both fucking faggots.
Does the Taufaggot even know the Riptide is a MC, not a GC, or are you talking about the Stormsurge?

Two Stormsurges at 1500 is pretty fucking faggotrocious.

Sorry he only brings the Stormsurge at 1750 and 2000, which also has two riptides running with it.

The argument started over the riptides then grew into complaints about GC and that specific Knight.

I field a Paladin at 1500 with my IG sometimes and it goes over fine.

>>50264292

Yeah its retardedly good value. Grabbing 2 of them is a decent start

>>50264292
I'd say yes. It's probably one of the best SC boxes value-wise, but it really depends on what kind of list you want to build.

There's also a new Tau battleforce box coming out over the holidays that is a fairly good deal.

>>50264292
It's a good deal but perhaps you might want to wait for the Battleforces next month, I don't have pics but if you check the archive someone posted them a thread or two back. There's a Tau one which also saves a bunch and is a good start for an army.

>>50264305
I can see why. The Knight Acheron is fucking bullshit as Knights go, and the Stormsurge is arguably one of the best LoW in the game.

>>50264305
What army is running with the Knight though?

A tiny knight with an IG army isn't a huge problem.

Tossing an Archeon into a Super Friends gangbang will end poorly.

He plays Salamanders so he claims the Knight fits his fluff, which I can give him, but he sticks three squads of stern in drop pods and some Centurians and Tacticals. He will even bring a conclave to split between the stern.

Any assassin after a military target probably travels with the guard at least some. Makes perfect sense.

Pretty much. Though it only makes it more satisfying when you overcome.

>>50264656
>thats one of the you get FREE STUFF formations. upgrades in this case, whatever you want. 0pts

So what? It had real teeth because of arbitrary drop pod allocation. Those teeth got pulled.

The free tat doesn't make up for the unit selection being so crippled.

Are Assault Centurions any good? I love the look and what they can do but they're a bit impractical on paper, either paying for a Land Raider or footslogging don't look good

How to make them useful?

>>50264641
What they need to is differentiate Tesla and Gauss more. Right now, they're both mid-range mid-strength weapons. Drop the strength of Tesla but give it 2 shots, or drop the range and increase the strength, or something.

Can flying transports move farther than 6" and still drop off passengers? Necrons obviously have a rule about invasion beams and shit--what about those Wolfships and whatnot?

>>50264704
But almost all of the units in the WarConvo are great. It's tax units are fantastic relative to the tax units in most other large formations.

>>50264714
Throw them in a pod and/or stick a bunch of librarians with them.

>>50264766
>Can flying transports move farther than 6" and still drop off passengers?
What do the rules say?

>>50264733
I can support that, though I feel like any meaningful update for the crons is low priority.

>>50264714

Nothing is worth a land raider tax.

Walking across the board with no invuln, no feel no pain, no eternal warrior, no move through cover, and slow and purposeful is going to be a bad time.

They could be very worthwhile if you just happen to play with very terrain rich boards with lots of LoS blocking options, or are playing one of the variant games with literal hallways and stuff. get them hunkered in near an objective where they can't be seen by anything unless it comes around a corner. Anthing that does come around the corner gets challenged to a game of extreme patty cake.

Outside those situation though, they suck.

>>50263827

>trusting rumors

>>50264714
Sub par Custodes.
Use them if you want T5 2+ 2W 6" moving melee beatsticks

>>50264817
Necrons have a bland but fairly well balanced codex. They should be a fairly low priority.

They really need the core rules to unfuck vehicles. That opens up several currently sub-par unit options.

What will inevitably get nerfed in 8e and what will get buffed?

>>50264773

It's not that units are bad, it's that they are each limited to one und exactly one. It's an army of t3 footsloggers that can't bring spares. This is a serious problem.

It's a good formation, don't get me wrong,
it's just not not great. It certainly is not the broken bullshit it was back in its glory days.

So after many years of having forgotten my love of 40k, i have dusted off my marines and will be playing them.

So, here is a rough outline ofwhat i want to field:
Demi Co:
Termie Capt
3x tactical squads
Devastors
Assaulg marines OR bikers
Dreadnaught

1st company task force
Vanilla Termies
Assault Termies
Sternguard

Then either a skyhammer ob squad or a amoured task force

I dont whether i want to get Rhinos, drop pods or razor backs, as i am torn between them. Maybe a few of each?

Any advice would be most welcome

>>50264912
Yeah I'd like for my monolith to be useful for things other than terrain.

>>50264917
Assuming GW actually wants to unfuck the game?

Vehicles buffed. Haywire and Grav nerfed heavily. Minor nerfs to MC's, GC's, and SH's. Assault (mostly in terms of getting there) buffed. Ranged Weapons nerfed.

>>50264898
Sanctuary: 202 C'Tannmon boogaloo

>>50264949
Don't forget about Tactical Marines getting buffed :^)

>>50264949
Initiative test to fire overwatch would be a nice step in the right direction

>>50264949

If there's a chance of you going to a pick up game and facing off against an opponent with GCs and SHs then GW will have failed with 8th edition

>>50264967
Tacticals need the rest of the game to lower in power while they stay about the same. A lot of AP2 and 3 shit getting bumped up a notch and a lot of S6-7 stuff losing a shit OR a pip of strength OR a pip of accuracy would do wonders for MEQ's and TEQ's.

One thing that would greatly help MEQ's would be making all of their Heavy Weapons Salvo 1/1 (or 2/4 for Heavy Bolter).

>>50265045
Just give them a point cap like 30k has, enforce actual LoW limitations, and do away with the stupidity of throwing HQ units into LoW slots.

>>50264912
>core rules to unfuck vehicles.

What would you like to see changed?

"apply each 2 remaining hull points as a negative modifier on the vehicle damage table" and "glancing hits that get a 0 or less on the vehicle damage chart do not take a hull point" seem to work damn well as hot patches.

>>50265030
and /40kg/ is telling you to read the rules. Its quite simple and obvious

>>50265054
I would be fine with that if Marines had a price bump or power drop on all their fancy toys, like drop pods, ATSKNF and such. Bit much to have both for the same cost as now.

>>50265074
I'd redo the vehicle damage chart so that it's less crippling unless it's an actual anti-tabk weapon. Like, Immobilization is actually just a speed reduction unless you're AP 1 or 2.

And I figure news articles will happen soon. There's already that Steampunk Dwarf teaser.

>>50265134
I agree, they decided to reduce points cost over and over to make up for it. A Tactical Marine costs almost as much as a Storm Trooper. I want powerful Marines but far less of them. Grav is a mistake, drop pods are fine, ATSKNF is fine.

Ah, so more like halfway to the Movie Marines? I think ATSKNF should only give a bonus to running from Sweeping Advances to represent an orderly withdrawal, and Droppods could go up 5 or 10 pts but otherwise fine.

>>50265192
People that want to win. Scouting Grav Cannons in free Rhinos is bonkers.

Anyone got a tutorial on how to build your own case? I think I'm missing something obvious but I can't find a way to actually cut out the bits of foam I carve, I finish the rectangle shape for infantry holes but I don't know how to get the 'bottom' part of it cut out so I can remove the foam and actually have a hole instead of a 2d shape carved into the foam.

>>50264203
In my head canon he has blue hair.

But what are the purpose of the tassles then?

>>50265286
Same as the spikes, tusks, skulls, chains and paint.

>>50264628
That rules hella fun with salamanders flameblade core.

>>50265238
Something like that. If it does happen though, ATSKNF either needs to remain the same or go half way to the 4th edition version where you hold but take extra wounds.

>>50264714
Any building they charge is dead its just too stupid to know it, they're good against anything AV and low I low like stompas. Transport is can be a issue but hey fast attack drop pods are a thing.

Why are Genestealer Cults effected by SitW?

Why does GW hate Tyranids and shit on them at every opportunity?

>>50265074
Flat out remove glances taking hull points, it just does a flat crew shaken instead, 2 shaken fold into a stunned. Everything becomes more durable but not op.

>>50265413
Because they still have human hinds, though the patriarch should be immune.

>>50265421
check your privilege melta-scum

>>50265413
Because Genestealer cults are just rubes and ambulatory dinner bells. Same reason GSC and Nids aren't battle brothers.

>>50265447
Pardon?

>>50265413
Because the Nids are there to eat them too. The GSC even turn on the Nids once they realise that, but it's too late then.

>>50264628
Can confirm, I run Stormlance. It's stupidly abusable.

S 5 gunlines are a hard counter (if you place terrain poorly).

>>50265421
Rather double all vehicle HPs
Glances do -1 HP
Pens do -2 HPs

Might start getting screwy once we reach Knight tier, but for 2-4 it should be solid.

>>50265546

Need help with a list for a game this weekend, since the organizers decided to make it as cancerous as possible. Hammer and Anvil, 1400 pts, kill points, score 2 pts at end of game turn for being in an opponents deployment zone. Basically, play drop pods or git gud.

I'm thinking:

>Skyhammer Annihilation, one squad with Heavy bolters, one with multimeltas and cherub. Barebones jump assaults.

>Raven Guard CAD with Murderwings, Lv2 jump pack librarian, thunderhammer/stormshield jump pack vanguard vets, two sniper scout squads, stormraven reserve.

Not real confident about this list. How garbage is it?

>>50265617
>convert vehicles to use the toughness system
This is what is likely to happen, it is lazy and it saddens me that so many people want it but it's the only way to make vehicles 'viable' without doing any work.

>>50265413

>SitW affects a powerful army in the metagame
>this is a nerf to Tyranids

Should I play White Scars or Salamanders? I want to go fast, but also burn shit.

>>50265670
thanks for reminding me why SM players are cancer

>>50265705
salamanders for the str5 flamers and str D relic

>>50265573
Hull points are fine, it's how the damage is applied to them that needs refining.

>>50265705
Blood angles.

fast rhinos and heavy flamer infantry.

What size are objective markers supposed to be? I have a pile of unused 28mm bases that would work, but I also see people use 40mm.

>>50265729
large enough to be noticeable.

>>50265716
Chapter master Godzilla best chapter master.

>>50265729
Objective markers are officially just points on the battlefield, which the rulebook suggests marking by the use of something 1-2" in diameter
so a 28mm or 40mm base

>>50264238
Fuck you posting that picture. I wanted to meme it as my work.

>>50265707
Yup. I'm a close second in the tourney as Guard atm but against Eldar, Space wolves, Blood Angels, and DEldar I'll get my shit pushed in simply because I'm not fast enough. Ergo, Jump packs and skyhammer faggotry.

Did thet and the wiki and the like I merely asked as a sort of roundabout means of doing what this guy >>50263898
suggests.

As scrutinizing every White Dorf published since around when the Armageddon codex came out in 3rd edition is a little beyond the time investment I'm willing to make for this question I thought if I could leverage the knowledge of the whole /tg/ 40k general I'd have every one of them Dorf issues covered by at least one neckbeard..

As none of you has yet been like "You dumb cunt everybody knows that the short story "Chronicle of Obscurity" in the February 2002 WD mentioned the 1st Steel Legion in passing" I think I'm safe using it (though I've probably wont use the 1st specifically as it seems a needless extra mary sue flag when 2-9 will work for my needs.

>>50265729
Doesn't really matter. The objective is a point on the table that you measure from, so the size of the base/marker is irrelevant.

>>50265782
Guess so.... Thanks, anon.

I liked it before, when you couldnt' have a SW lord lead a DA squad.

Should guard run more than 1 unit of plasmavets? I feel like they have more than enough anti-infantry from other means (wyverns, executioners, punishers, battle tanks, basilisks, hellhounds, etc)

Not to mention even amassed BS3 lasguns with FRFSRF can take even terminators pretty effectively

the genestealer armored claw is a better deal for IG

>>50267189
Yes, but you will need a bit extra to make it a legal army.
Buy two command squad on top of that and a second armoured claw.
That gives you a squad of vets, 20 infantry and a command squad to form in to a platoon, a command squad a leman russ tank.

The command squad comes with all the special weapons you will want for your veterans.

I fucking hate this game.

How does a unit consisting of both vehicles and non-vehicles work defensively? I was thinking of making a vehicle profile for kastelan robots, but the issue also exists in an apocalypse SW formation including a Dreadnought and several non-vehicle characters.

Given that it is not explained in the Apoc book does it not need to explained?

Man, I can't decide whether to buy the regular Start Collecting Tau, or the new battleforce.

I currently own:
1 Ethereal, 1 Commander, 3 Crisis Suits, 1 Riptide, 1 Stormsurge, 20 Pathfinders, 16 Fire Warriors, 6 Stealth Suits, 1 Ghostkeel, 1 Broadside, 1 Skyray/Hammerhead/Devilfish, and a dickton of drones.

I'm starting to lean towards the regular Start Collecting because I for sure need some more Crisis suits, and some more fire warriors and an ethereal wouldn't hurt. While the Battleforce would supplement just about everything else I have.

>>50267307
there is no defined way to attack a mixed armor-toughness unit

1) do like 4th/5th did artillery. on a x+, you hit the vehicle

or

2) resolve hits one at a time, rolling to wound/penetrate as necessary

>>50267189
to start an army sure consider getting a command squad to . that way you have a CAD
shame you can't get the cadian defence force anymore that was how i started my IG
>>50267245
so now you have 1 hwt woop di fucking do
either you can put it in a squad and waste an extra order splitting fire or you can be somewhat sensible and buy 2 more overpriced separately sold HWT or buy the 3 pack for 6€ extra.
don't get me wrong it's a nice bonus if you need a commissar but as a single one it's s not a meaningfull expansion to your army since there is almost no way you would ever want to buy this box 3 times

>>50267348
I would say 2 makes more sense, but 1 is fast to resolve. Which do you think is best?

>>50267462
neither. dont do it.

If you absolutely have to, do number 1. I believe it was 5+ to hit the crew (and so the techpriest) of artillery way back when?

>>50267505
But robots aren't in any way susceptible to poison. Kastelan Robots are countered by poison.

I suppose I could say that Cybernetica Datasmiths automatically pass look out sirs and must do so when hit and can only transfer hits onto Kastelan Robots?

>>50267290
More context? None of those weapons were AP3 so Tacts in Cover were as durable as Tacts in the open.

Also
>Assault squad + Captain with Burning Blade + Artificer armor assaulted by Claw Cataphractii

>8 Power Armour light assault with AA Captain vs Dedicated Melee with AP3 weapons.
>8 PA models designed to take down light infantry slaughtered by heavy infantry outfitted to murder anything not 2+ in close combat.

>>50267610
The context to that is that he simply didn't roll a single 1 or 2 in 52 shots fired, a good 40 of which were hits, yet not wounds.

And it was a squad of 2 remaining Cataphractii also tanking all of that shit consistently all game, with several salvos of Lascannons and Meltas sprinkled with shitloads of normal calibre weapons only managing to kill 3 of them.

Entire squad was also at 7 units and had a Grimaldus FNP bubble around them.

Getting at least a single freaking save out of that while maybe at least poking for once with a S+3/AP2 sword.

Speaking of the sword, we were unsure if the "unit hit" in the Blind rule refers to landing an actual wound or just a hit.

>>50264544
Librarius Conclave. Gladius.

At least if we are talking about how much better the units in it become. A 25% decrease in price is absurd and the amount of functionally free power levels you get from libra conclaves is amazing.

Not sure just how much more powerful Riptides become from being in a RIP Wing, but the ridiculous part is that someone decided to buff Riptides further.

The CSM sorcerer coven is similarly stupid. The basic CSM squad, Zerkers and Possessed are the worst units in the dex but received worse formations than sorcerers which already have the best entry in the dex.

>>50267743
you would have to buy extra land raiders just for the HQs, as csm do not have 10+capacity land raiders, and terminators won't fit in to rhinos. Horrible formation.

>>50264607
>>50264669
The Grey Knights could work with a group of Guardsmen for an extended period. It is also possible some outside force prevents them from doing away with the Guardsmen, they could take them with them on a crusade to find a good moment to get rid of them.

Another angle, it looks like it's about to tip over. Look at it's feet.

>>50267842
CSM do not have 10+ capacity LRs but they also have minimum squad size 3 on their Termis. You could fit a barebones squad and 2 HQs all in Termi armor in a CLR. The other dudes can all ride in Rhinos.

It's not excellent but it isn't irredeemable like you're suggesting.

>>50267830
CSM Sorcerer Coven isn't that good. It's highly dependent on the enemy having a worthwhile target, and, unless you bring 4-5 Sorcerers, you're going to have to invest 3+ Warp Charge to get it off reliably.

Libby Conclave is likewise overrated. It ends up being a 300+ point formation that gets off 2 Spells super reliably. Unfuck Invisibility and Veil of Time, and fix the ally rules to stop superfriends, and the Conclave is no longer a big deal.

>Libby Conclave is likewise overrated
It was god-tier until the FAQ and it's still a pretty decent formation now, all things considered.

>change other game rules and the Conclave is no longer a problem
Yes, because the reason most formations are so good is because they exploit or otherwise take advantage of the rules and structure of the game. This is nothing new.

>>50267870
How would you make it better?

>>50267842
No you wouldn't, you just end up with one Terminator not in the list. Which is an actual issue with the box set. It always pissed me off that I couldn't use all of my Chaos Terminators without deep striking.

If you're looking for Guard ones look at Imperial Armour Volume 1, both the 1st and 2nd Edition. It has Company formations, company and platoon tactics and a whole load of other goodies.

>>50267902
That's why you bring 4-5 Sorcs and ally them with Daemons to give you cost efficient dice. As I said it's not that it's super OP (although it is against certain lists) it is the lack of equally powerful formations for the worst units in the dex.

If you think Libby Conclave is overrated then you are an idiot. If you don't bring grav cannons battle companies aren't op either, but who cares? Libby Conclave is OP because of insane blessings and battle company is insane because of grav. It may only be a multiplier to why these units are OP, but the formations are part of why these army compositions are OP.

>>50267975
No

Leman Russ was the one who argued in favor of killing Magnus in the original fluff.

>>50267975
>Was Magnus at Terra when the renegade Legions attacked it?
No, he was all emo mode on the planet of sorcerers

Yes that's why modern space wolves are more heroes of the imperium population and no longer the mindless KGB agents that are the modern inquisitors

Yeah, it just looks weird because it's still.

>>50267999
The strength of the Cyclopia Cabal isn't in the power; it's the ability to spam Sorcerers. You're essentially complaining that we got a Sorcerer formation at all.

Gladius is OP because it covers the map in free ObSec metal boxes and cones. The GravCannons are just gravy. Even without it, it would still be an oppressive slog to play against. Nerfing Conclave before dealing with the rules that allow super friends or the tiny minority of enabling powers would be stupid.

I don't think there is anything wrong with complaining about a pure sorcerer formation. Sorcerers should be used to bait people to take troops and possessed not be isolated so you can min max harder. Let's say it adds another 10% to the worth of the Sorcs in the unit, the other units should get formations which add 30 or 50% to their worth but they get 0-5% extra worth from their formations which are sometimes not even strictly better than CADs. BTW I'm not talking about the most recent release, which may in fact have benefitted the core troops more than Sorcs.

Nah man, grav is what makes the army op, otherwise the army would have no way to win against Wraith Knights and Riptides in missions which feature end of game objectives. 10 lascannons kill 1 Riptide, 10 grav cannons kill 3 riptides. At the end of the game lascannon battle company won't have any units left because it lacks bite.

>>50267363

But you'd never want to buy a squad of Guardsmen without a Heavy Weapon, unless you're making Veterans at which point you're going to order Plasmas/Melta separately anyway. Guardsmen are spare wounds for the Lascannon HWT and the Power Axe Sergeant who can hold objectives and occasionally hose something that got too close. If you're actually using your lasguns to kill stuff other than Deep striking Terminators or whatever you've made a horrible mistake; basically all of Guard's shooting is 42" threat or more, you should never even be in range to fire your lasguns

Can someone point me towards what it is I need to grab from the Mega so I can roll pre-heresy World Eaters?

Any ideas on how to add to this currently 1000 point nurgly daemon incursion army, up towards 1500 or more? I was thinking some plague drones and/or beasts as well as beefing up the groups of plaguebearers, went a bit overboard to start with on greater rewards because I'm not sure how I want to kit these dudes out exactly. The forgehost seems okay but I'm not a fan of the models.

Daemon lord: Great unclean one
>grotti the nurgling, ML2, greater reward

Core: Tallyband
Herald of Nurgle
>Locus of Fecundity, ML1, Doomsday bell, greater reward

3x units of 10 plaguebearers
>3 plaguebringers (greater reward), 1 in each unit
>1 icon unit, 1 instrument unit

4x 3 nurglings

Aux: Daemon flock, 5x furies

1000/1000

If you ordered all loyalist Space Marine armies (including BAs, DAs and the Deathwatch I guess) and the different chapter tactics by their strength/viability in the TT, what would the tier list look like? How big are the power differences?

>>50268930
Dear fucking god what manner of shitty advice is this? Lascannons and power axes for Infantry Squads? Guard shooting should only be 42" threat?

I've been doing well with my guard for 3 editions now and getting up'and'personal still works just fine.

Hell giving infantry squads melta and chimera (or taurox) is sometimes a good idea since NOT drawing attention is a good thing if you're just grabbing objectives. 3 plasmaguns on veterans? Someone might actually shoot you because you're threat to something. One melta that cant hit a broad side of a barn? Welp they aint gonna do shit, lets waste these shots trying to punch through that Knight's fron armor and Ion Shield.

As long as they used different toughness values for each side of the tank I wouldn't mind. Anyone who claims that a single toughness or a single toughness with different armor saves is a decent alternative needs to go play a few tank sims and not come back until they realize just how huge the divide is between a vehicle's front, side, and rear armor is.

>>50269230
It's a bad game, even though it looks fun.

Prolly gonna get it just to play as Orks and only suck slightly less than the tabletop.

>>50269230
It's basically a failed mmo turned in to a team based shooter.
A sad story for a game with so much potential.

>>50268861
Even so flare shields are in 30k and vehicle rules would effect both systems.

>>50269298
They were waaaaay to ambitious. A small developer with minimal experience trying to use a niche tabletop IP to create a game that would in the best circumstances require planetside-sized servers, Gears of War graphics, and a Battlefield-sized fanbase to sustain itself.

I appreciate the attempt, but the resources just weren't there.

>>50269068
Anyone?

A Necron-worshipping "Genestealer" cult: neat idea or completely retarded?

I rolled Necrons because I loved the idea of playing a list with portal/veil of darkness shenanigans.

Now, an army has come out that literally has deepstrike shenanigans written into their core rules, and I'm trying to think of a way to merge these two ideas together.

The more human models are easy conversions...give them Necron technology, replace their extra claw with a claw from a Flayed One, and I'm good to go.

Magus I'm thinking the same thing....just give him a staff of light, fluff it as him getting a gift from his Necron masters, say that that's how he casts "magic".

I'm not really sure how I would model the more genestealer-y models....Patriarch and Abberants specifically.

Thoughts?

>>50269607
Completely retarded. Do Ad Mech Necron Worshippers instead.

>>50269607
This >>50269619
Baller idea.

What's a decent intro into Khorne Daemonkin? The start collecting looks good, but what else should I get?

I'm looking for ~1500 points worth to start, and ideally it's more Daemon focused than Marines, though whatever's coolest and most fun is best for me!

>>50269619
I don't want to play Admech tho. I want to play GSC because I love mobility shenanigans.

>>50269699
Then play GSC, don't force them into non-fitting themes. Chaos GSC could work well, if you still want to do them worshipng non-Nids.

>>50269699
Then maybe try Harlequins or Scions?

But if you want GSC, just go for it. You don't need validation from us

>>50269699
Why not Tyranid worshipping Genestealer Cults?

>>50269733
Literally how does that not fit their theme.

The only thing that's different is that they're worshipping robot overlords instead of bugs.

>>50269773
Chaos corrupts and twists their minds and this is in their codex, Necrons just murder them.

>>50269298
Worse it was basically just Space Marine's multiplayer mode, except less polished.

Everything about that game is just really poorly done, from the models, to the gameplay. That's what happens when you're so overly ambitious without the actual resources or talent to make it happen.

>>50269699
>>50269607
Then just play Genestealer Cults, the Necron worship idea is frankly retarded unless you go for them being all controlled via mindshackle scarabs or some contrived shit.

If you're going to play a certain army, do so with something that matches the flavor. Rather than just smashing things together like that.

>>50269773
Because they only worship and have their powers because of the Tyranids, the literal gravest enemy of Necrons?

The two races are totally incompatible and fluff says repeatedly Nids are scared shitless and/or gain nothing from Nescrons. There would be absolutely no reason for them to ally, let alone GSC worship them.

Explain why a cult cultivated and genetically modified by the Tyanids would worship space Egyptians like the Necrons whose existence is not only not widespread knowledge, but is a race that considers the eradication of Tyranids to be a priority?

Again, to be blunt, that idea is retarded.

Alright how about this....

Instead of GSC models, they're just converted Flayed Ones spiffed up to be extra killy.

Theyre led by their Techmagus(whatever the necron tech hq is called) handlers, who use portal/veil of darkness technology to point them at the enemy.

>>50269773
>because X worships Y, that means it is logical for X to worship Z simply because they are known for worshiping something

You do realize how stupid that logic is right? Especially since the Nids avoid the Necrons as much as they can, and the Necrons want to exterminate the fuck out of the bugs.

>>50269831
