>How does Admech play on the tabletop?
powerful shooting, constant mobility, but nor super fast unless you build for it. The have no transports to move their troops up quickly, but have some of the best basic troops in the game.

You can build them fast with rust stalkers and chicken walkers. It isn't the strongest build, but it is cool.

You can also build them into a gunline.

Mixed with allies, they can do some other neat stuff, but not the cheese they used to. Once upon a time, you could put them in space marine drop pods.

Copy pasting from old thread:

How does Admech play on the tabletop?

Looking to get back into this hobby, haven't played since 4th edition.

Trying to decide between my original army (Tyranids) or trying something new.

Soulless murder boys always seemed cool to me but Necrons were so binary to play.

So theyre a more shoot army?

What do you mean by constant mobility, but slow?

Please, and thank you, anon.

>>50323886
They all have relentless so they can walk and shoot, most have bonus moving through hard terrain but they have no transports at all.
>>
>>50323905
Tier 3 is pure comfy tier, come sit with the IG and the other non-cheese armies.
>>
>>50323886
They have some assault units (rust stalkers, etc), but most of their units carry big powerful guns.

They have a lot of access to the relentless rule if I remember correctly, so they can move and fire heavy weapons as well as charge after firing rapid fire wepaons. This allows them to stay moving, but infantry still only move 6".

1850 seems so arbitrary. I mean, 1750 is a multiple of 250 just like 2000, 1500, 1250, 1000, and 750 points games. But 1850 feels like some shop owner wanted to fit one more predator into his 1750 list and so changed the rules.

So you think Admech would be a good first start then, at least to get used to the rules and such?

I figure the bigger models would let me get good practice with painting, too.

Then I can start up a Tyranid army when their new codex is released in 10 years.

it is kind of a shame really, because they have some cool models that are unusable because of it

>>50324385

IG are generally considered mid-tier - not OP, but not weak. They'll take some learning to get right (starter tips - don't be afraid to trade men for objectives or strategic purposes. They're going to die anyways, might as well make 'em die doing something worthwhile; specialize your units for one job and make them as good as you can at it; 100 S3 AP- Overwatch shots is fucking terrifying; never rely on one unit to get a job done, unless its a throwaway/distraction).

Tau regularly get OP shit, so you may struggle to find games (and you may very well find your carefully crafted non-OP list becomes the biggest cheese in the world next update, making everyone treat you like a pariah despite the fact that you tried not to be That WAAC Faggot).

As for whether you should have or not, that's something only you can answer. Think about what you want from an army, then look to see if IG or Tau can do that (or some other army, if neither can). Depending on what you got and what you end up going to (if you decide to go to another army), you may be able to make use of your recent purchases anyways.

Either way, welcome to the Guard, son.

I know this should go into the WIP thread, but this one moves faster, but has anyone figured out a similar/simpler way to do the colors on this? Namely the highlights.

I think allies are a nice idea in general. But since Xenos factions are all isolated they need to do more to incentivize pure faction forces to reduce some of the super-friends effect of the Imperium.

Also Psykers need a revamp. 7th ed. Pychic powers are a pain and rife with abuse.

Most optimal way to run leman russes in GSC?
>>
>>50325127

Honestly, I feel like that should be something done for all the armies. One base codex (ie. Codex : IG) and one extras codex (ie. Codex : IG : Regiments of Renown, which would contain special rules/units/force org stuff for playing specifically Cadian or Catachan or Armageddon Steel Legion regiments). Also, no BRB updates until everyone has had at least some kind of WD update if not a full new codex.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Allies is 40k is almost purely fluff driven. There need to be some mechanical tradeoffs to going with allies for the BB armies otherwise it's always just going to be a tax on Necrons, Nids, Orks and such.

His Armour is becoming flesh, his flesh is becoming Armour, so he's starting to bleed in places, and perhaps its toughened leather

It could also be that the marine wishes to hide as many of his wounds as possible for fear of being picked apart by his brothers, or trying to hide the shame of being so badly beaten

If they met on the battle-field would they even bother to fight, or just exchange a silent glance, having seen the only sight more pitiful than they are
>>
>>50325257

Pretty much, yeah. It wouldn't be specific to one subset of the faction; Tau would have more than just the Farsight Enclaves, Imperial Forces would be Radicals & Puritans PLUS different options for different SoB Orders, Tyranids would be GSC plus specific forms that the different Hive Fleets have picked up over time.

Rumor has it that there will be some pretty big change ups. I'd honestly just wait. Worst case it takes you an extra couple of days to get up to speed.
>>
>>50325504

how soon
>>
>>50323917
It is basically 400-500 points.

1 HQ and 1-4 Troops. The rest is limited to 1 and no heavy support.
No more than 2 wounds, no 2+ saves.
Vehicles can have a max of 33 armour. (Front, Side and Rear.) example a Chimera is F12 S10 R10. 32 total armour so it is legal.

Honestly it still works, since most of the cheese is upsent.

forge world isnt even a seperate company like citadel once was

its basically just a separate office

though i do feel bad for them since their game manages to be far more interesting and engaging despite the game consisting of four red books and almost entirely space marines, and the main 40k devs constantly fumble this despite having like 30 codices for like 10 different races

What exactly is it that gives tau battlesuits their strength? Particularily "farsight" lists? I can sort of guess at the riptides because FNP helps reduce the risk of using the generator(?) but what about the other suits? Any merits to crisis, coldstars, ghostkeels and broadsides?
>>
>>50325846
They're a pretty weak army competitively but they are still fun to play. Venoms are your friends.
>>
>>50325787
>My bad I didn't mean play style I meant looks wise.

yeah mechanicum looks infinitely less goofy


my guess is they'll stick to big relic type automata, where their baroque appearance in small numbers wont be so jarring

so basically no secutors, no vehicles, no thralls (not that the mechanicus needs alternative cheap infantry to vanguard)

more likely to see domitars, castellaxes, thanatars, maybe thallaxes and ursaraxes


on the other hand, gw might just not give a fuck and try to sell as many 100 dollar tanks as possible, resulting in every list having 3-4 triarios clashing with the GW sculpts

I'd say that 30k is easier (still hard) to balance than 40k as most of the armies are just space marines with some special units and rules added to each legion
Where as 40k each race have all gotta have different rules to suit not only the playstyle of em but also the whole lore standpoint while making it all balanced

All suits (bar the xv25) have multiple wounds and at least a 3+ save with easy, cheap and reliable invuln saves available as wargear, drones act as ablative wounds and markerlights give them the accuracy need to rape everything in and including AV14.

Also maybe give the termis combi-meltas instead if you're suiciding, otherwise add more bodies to the list as a 3 man squad is going to get fucked over so hard.

Yeah no point counting psychic powers there since then you could also count that both models have Sanctuary, Veil of Time, Invisibility and Presience going on.

Apparently it includes:
>Inquisition
>Grey Knights
>Adeptus Astra Telepathica
>Custodes
>Sisters of Silence
>Sisters of Battle
>Deathwatch
>Assassins
>and an unnanounced 9th division

I play Grey Knights, so having some new toys AND Inquisition AND Assassins back would be great!

Hate to say it but as a new player this was one of the most accessible despositories of information pertaining to playing warhammer 40k.

Please explain how he's getting .74 wounds through a turn.
>>
>>50327193
I thought Smashfucker was more of a one man unkillable powerfister than an actual deathstar.

I mean if you REALLY want to be an ass about it just make them both invisible and neither can kill the other ever.

He goes with a bikerstar and can detach to deal with things they can't. He's pretty pointless just by himself.

more attacks than smashfucker also at initative with S10 ap 1 and ID when in combat against a unit with your marked target.

When making a traitors hate list and using the chaos warband and cult of the damned, do the cultist get objective secured for being troops still? Or just the warband?

>>50327222
thunder hammer and lightning claw gives him +1A for a total of 4 attacks. he uses the thunderhammer, hitting on #+ because WS6 vs WS 5. this means four sixths of his attacks will hit, or 2.66 hits. he wounds on 2s because of S8 vs T5, which will result in 2.22 wounds. scorias 4++ brings that down to 1.11 wounds, and his FnP brings it down to .74. I guess technically I should factor in the IWND, which brings it down to .49 wounds, but that's still far more than scoria.
>>
Any scans of Planetary Onslaught yet?

Thanks man appreciate the compliment! and yeah so far my entire army is up to that standard, have most of the start collecting box painted already but want to wait until I have the Archon painted before I take my next picture.

What are the odds of Magnus having a new way of generating powers/warp charges? Or will he just be ML5/ML4 gargantuan?

>>50327295
Scoria has fnp 5+ and IWND.

It's around .32 after that. But that's still if smashfucker has back up and scoria does not.

Could a normal man wield a mining laser from the GSC? Or is it that crazy mutant strength, and a lesser man would need a partner to operate such a tool
>>
>>50327270
well sure. you could make a scoria star, but as long as smashfucker doesn't get into a challenge, any one of your gaurds wounds will be tanked by PRIME and mean absolutely nothing. such is the way of deathstars.

>>50327351
not that it really matters. scoria's effectiveness will drop even lower without the bonus attack for charging the next round, and smashfucker will still be getting more wounds off. even if smashfucker only does .32 wounds, that means it takes him 15 turns to kill scoria, vs 23 turns for scoria to kill smashfucker.

Considering mining lasers are carried by three-armed guys with the same S value as space marines, no, a normal man could probably not wield a mining laser unsupported.

Supposedly they normally use mechanical servo-arms attached to the suit.

>>50327794
How I arrived at that value: despite being more restrictive than regular cultists, Tzaangors are also better. Therefore, they should cost more. This is the philosophy all throughout the CSM codex.

>4 points for a cultist
>+1 point for MoT
>+1 point for DOUBLE MoT 5++ save what?
>+? points for fearless?

To find out how much fearless is worth, look at Noise Marines
>17 points
>subtract 13 for the marine
>subtract 2 for the Mark of Slaanesh
>fearless must be worth 2 points

With this in mind, Tzaangors will be 9ppm, with either a 90 point or 100 point base cost. I know I said 100, but I am actually leaning towards 90. The Tzaangors box doesn't have an obvious champion, so I am guessing they don't get one.

I can't believe there is any country where Space Marines are not the biggest sellers. However, I'm not surprised the Japanese don't like something that is so obviously marketed towards them.

Also if they like animation they'll just go watch that not pay millions of Yen for Warhammer.

I want to start an AdMech army. I love the Dominus, the Castelans and Skitarii infsntry, but don't exactly love the other models, apart from maybe the Dunecrawler (though that one only from an aesthetic standpoint).

My store meta is 850 points, what kind of list can I build to use the stuff I like in that point range? Going War Congregation with minimum Breachers as tax for my Castelans and 2 all-but-naked Vanguard squads doesn't seem too great.

How badly would a Cohort Cybernetica lose and how much salt would it reap while the game is going/during the kill points round?
>>
>>50328702
I guess you could wait and see what Formation they add with the Battleforce. Maybe it will allow us to use Skitarii in it instead of those godawful Electropriests.

It is unfortunately a long shot. Sadly it's all we have until we get the legendary combined Admech codex.
>>
>>50328770
in casual lists I am sure it is fine, but power creep is really really crazy. IG infantry are not very strong against riptides, would get mopped up fast by a skyhammer or scatbikes, and can't keep up with the bullshit 500 free points of transports that marines get.
>>
>>50328851
Well I mean, gigantic world eating lizardbugs that descend upon a world like a billion billion locust are pretty rad.

But yet again, so is the order of post-skynet tech-worshipping cyborgs who've lost the actual scientific theory behind their technology so at this point operate everything solely on faith.

It's a toss up. On one hand I like the Tyranid/GSC just a bit more because of the variety of models, but on the other hand I could always just get more variety by allying things since Admech is an imperium army.

As far as I know, nothing? If I had to guess epubs are less intensive to run, but either way it hasn't really effected me. I'm just happy to be able to look over codexes of armies I don't play, filetype doesn't really matter in the end. Hope things work out for you, maybe a more informed anon has the answer.

>>50329187
Nothing back when we only had hard copies to scan or IOS proprietary formats to convert.

It tends toward misinformation and fannon. In this case it is outright fabricating rules. It was probably some anon's home brew that is being presented as official after some borken telephone.
