Yes, that one.
>>
>>50561085

So what 'niches' of warfare haven't been filled yet? Like, there were two lost Primarchs, clearly they had to have some kind of unique specialty. With the canonical ones, we're already doubling up.

For instance, both Ferrus and Vulkan are the guys who are good at forging. Alpharius, Corax and Night Haunter are all good at being sneaky. Sanginus and Angron both have the 'berserker' thing down, while Sangy and Fulgrim are both the 'pretty ones'. The only guy who doesn't have a direct analogue is Lorgar, whose gimmick is that he's 'the religious one'.

Do not pick Tyranids. Like Orks, they're basically unplayable right now. Even in casual groups you'll find yourself at a serious disadvantage.

Space yiffs.
Go!

>>50561186
Tyranids are fine for casual play. They can even do alright at lower competitive levels with Flyrants. Hell, even Orks can a do alright with Zhardsnark+ bikers+ Buzzgob.

Nigga I play Nids, they are no-where near as bad as Orks , yes you have flyrants as your main powergame unit but having oneand a couple of synapse things with Venomthropes behind a wall of Ga(u)nts protecting the big motherfuckers can work well

I'm kinda annoyed about AL getting cult uprising when the only way of getting cultists is with cult uprising

I want to house rule this by giving a slight benefit to the cult uprising rule, which sounds the most fair?

1. Reroll a failed roll - About a 75% chance of success
2. Increase it to 3+ - About a 66% chance
3. Give the formation the Frenized Horde rule from the Cult of Slaughter formation - Regen Cultists per move phase
>>
>>50561231
If in the first 6 months of 2017, SoB do not get an updated codex and full line, I will publically apologise to all of you.

But if they do, you all have to buy them, regardless of how good or bad their rules or models are.

His gimmick was propaganda and converting worlds that just got wrecked by the Imperium into worlds that would support it. Did a pretty good job, insurrection was washed away and the worlds he worked ended up becoming the most fervent and fanatical supporters of the imperium

Download the codexes in the OP and have a read through. You can also check 1d4chan for a meme-ridden interpretation of the fluff, but they often have more obscure nuggets of fluff amongst the memes.

If they still have them in the mega, check the older editions of codexes too. I might be imagining it, but I swear you got far more fluff in older codexes than you do nowadays.

Quick question from a noob - is it possible for a SM captain to have both The Shield Eternal and a Relic Blade? Or does that count as two relics on one model? Or maybe it requires three hands?
>>
>>50561494

Nope, that's a fine combo. Pretty decent combo if you want a melee captain, actually. Maybe even pay the extra to make him a chapter master, for the extra attacks.
>>
>>50561153
Each has a vastly different playstyle. Ask what style you want to play and go from there.
>>
>>50561494
Relic blade is not a relic, but it will require three hands to use at once.

Iron Warriors question. I've ran a trio of Warpsmith, Forgefiend and Ferrum Infernus Dreadnought with Destroyer of Cities. This has been moderately effective since opponents tend to get tunnel vision and want all three DEAD after the Forgefiend makes an IWND roll and the Warpsmith fixes something on the Dread.

However, the weakness is the Warpsmith can be sniped which means the Dread will pop soon after, and then it's just a Forgefiend on its lonesome.

I'm considering dropping the Fiend in favour of a Helcult and a Fleshmetal Exoskeleton for the Warpsmith. I get bubble wrap for the whole unit (warpsmith joins cultists and DoC doesn't care about intervening friendlies because all his weapons are templates) and if I can roll the Warlord trait that grants IWND to vehicles things start to get really silly.

>They aren't brave, they don't feel fear in the first place.

wait, what? marines run headlong into danger, scoff at mortal danger, seek out the enemy commanders to duel, and laugh at fear checks. how is that not brave?
>>
>>50561849
Well after 20 years of basically the same rules copy pasted over and over and 10 years of the no model updates.
Along with almost every year rumors about new plastic SoB with screen captures and images.

It is not a surprise SoB players are in denial till they have them on their own hands

Bravery is doing those things despite being afraid.

Not feeling fear isn't bravery, it's insanity.

A company command squad, two veteran squads, and as many deathstrike missiles as you can fit in the list. If you go past it to higher points values, I'd recommend you take some more deathstrike missiles to really round out your forces.

>>50561556
I've ran them with Darkstrider to outflank and blow away camping marine squads before, but its a huge point sink for a fragile unit. Only other way to run them is in a devilfish, but generally you're going to want the pulse rifle's consistent range and damage.
>>
>>50561918
>>50561556
Basically they are worse than your other sources of AP3 or better that aren't vespids, and worse than your other troops choice.

They exist as a reason to field Devilfish if you really want to.

>>50561944
And no melee weapon of note iirc.

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place to post.
My brother in law likes this warhammer, and i wanted to get him something for Christmas. He's told me he likes chaos space marines.

Is there a set or something i can buy him somewhere, any recommendations?
>>
So if I'm correct here:

The scarab occult were the first company of the thousand sons, right? And even though legions were much larger than chapters, company was still a group of 100+company command squad, captain and chaplain, right?

So that formation with 9 units of Scarab occult, maxed out, would include almost every member of the scarab occult in existence.

And they're meant to be split across several warbands, with multiple paint schemes given in the book...

So fielding 9 units of scarab occult all in the same paint scheme would be fluff rape, right?
>>
>>50561967
Nah, Marine flavour, chaos and Tau are petty much cancer.

SoB are the abused housewife

>>50561153

The get started is a always a solid place to start an army on a budget. The necron one doesn't give you the most exciting of options, but it's solid and that's what you need right now. If you wanted exciting, you wouldn''t be playing necrons anyways.

>>50562284
Monoliths are solid. Definitely one of the more boring kits to build - it is literally slabs of plastic held together in a roughly triangular shape - but it is fun to bring one to the table.

you see, when the rubric happened, tsons legion numbers sort of got thrown out the window. They can manipulate the spirits inside the armour and move them to different places, technically all of the rubricae could be moved to scarab occult armour, it'd just be confusing because while they're more heavily armoured they wouldn't have the same skill as the scarabs and it would cost a lot to get so much termie armour.

dont buy much more until you learned to play so you know where to go.
Paint your stuff (another reason not having too many models in need of work at the same time.)
the ghostarc is a real piece of work, paint larger parts PRIOR to assembly. (I would build and paint the other stuff first)

Guiliman: Leadership through example
Lorgar: Leadership through propaganda

Sanguinius: Ethical martial prowess and force
Angron: Unbridled martial prowess and force

Lion: Perfect strategies and tactics (introvert)
Horus: perfect strategies and tactics (extrovert)

Rogal Dorn: Conquest through construction without ego
Perturabo: Conquest through destruction with ego

Etc etc. they all have counters to one another. Even the legions counter one another well even though their opposites don't necessarily line up with their respective primarchs.
>>
>>50562467
All solid choices. You'll find that while the necron codex isn't exactly filled with the most exciting of rules (it's hard to get excited when you're a robot zombie, hur hur hur) there's very little in way of trap or bad choices. The real question becomes how do you want to build your army.

You can use the standard force organization chart which allows you to experiment with different unit combos or you can rock out the decurion and laugh as people waste bullets trying to kill your army. If you go with the standard force organization (The combined arms) then you can buy whatever you want and fit it in the appropriate slot as long as you have the minimum 2 troops and 1 hq which you should already have from the get started. If you go with the deucrion, plan your purchases around the formations you want to run and go from there.

Hope this helps

They're considered separate armies currently. Rumor has it they will be combined into a single book later.

They currently have separate codexes.

Skitarii are cooler also. The silly Cult units would cramp their style.
>>
>>50562656
I think some of the pair offs are based on personality/tactics/ideology while others are based on narrative reasons. This would account for some of the primarchs not having clear counterparts like Mortarion and Jaghatai and Magnus and Russ.

Ah. Odd, you'd expect a chapter that thrives on instinct to have been corrupted by chaos way earlier than now.
>>
>>50562705
Ideology wise Magnus is completely opposite Mortation and Russ is opposite Khan

Magnus belived Sorcery was the future of humanity, Mortarion feared and opposed its development

Russ was a staunch order taker that followed the Emperor's every word and jumped as his every command while the Khan was the most "Free" of the legions, acting on his own principles and beliefs and thinking commonly for himself before bringing his ideas before others.

>>50562787
You're in luck, they get the best shit.

Requirements: Only unique character available is Typhus. Mark of Nurgle Only. VotLW. Psykers must take one power from Nurgle.
Benefits: VotLW gain fearless & FnP but -1 initiative (doesn’t affect Typhus or Plague marines) and relentless. Plague Marines are troops. Fearless Terminators with T5 and FnP? Oh, HELL yeah!

Warlord Traits
1: Feel No Pain.
2: IWND.
3: +1 Wound.
4: Eternal Warrior.
5: Poisoned weapons get an extra +1 to their effectiveness, to a maximum of Poisoned (2+). For example, Poisoned becomes Poisoned (3+).
6: Friendly units within 7" get Contagion.

Relics
Puscleaver: Poison 2+ CCW. Turns your DP into an MC killer. Or don't and take the Black Mace instead.
Plague Skull Glothia: One use only. Range 8” S1 AP - assault 1 poison (2+) large blast.
Pandemic Staff: Poison 2+ staff. As a ranged weapon, it's a template S1 Ap5 assault 2. As a melee weapon, it's a S+2 AP4, melee, concussive.
Dolorus Knell:
Poxwalker Hive: Turn your cultists into zombies. At start of each turn you grant FnP to a friendly cultist unit within 7”. They can’t run or shoot for the rest of the game but have fearless, oh & D3 cultists come back to life.
Plaguebringer: Power sword with poison 4+ and daemon weapon.

Detachment

Core (1+)
Plague Colony: 1 Chaos Lord with Mark of Nurgle and VotLW (as per Death Guard Detachment) or Typhus leads 3-7 units of Plague Marines. When enemy models come within 7" of a unit from this formation, they take -1WS and Initiative, and if you took all 7 Plague Marine units they reduce their toughness by 1 as well. The latter bonus too is very expensive, but allows your plagueknifes to potentially re-roll to wound if you're attacking MEQ, and even then the -1 to Initiative will solve the big issue of Death Guard being I3.


VotLW is always free.

Unlike a lot of GW fliers, one of the advantages of the Quad Ion Turret is the fact that it's a turret. It can fly over the target and then hit rear armor WITHOUT having to spend turns trying to point its entire fuselage at rear armor in order to bring it's big guns to bare on them.

Razorshark is generally considered a better bomber than the Sunshark, and the Sunshark was considered a better fighter, largely due to interceptor drones.

Until Death from the Skies came out, anyway, and changed the nature of Skyfire.

I left 40k for 30k at the release of Grav, which killed the Land Raider and thus my World Eater army, but I heard that my World Eaters are getting new rules. Is it worth it to reconsidering buying Chaos marines for Khorne or am I still better just playing my Pre Heresy list in 40k as I've been doing for the past few years?
>>
>>50562823
Requirements: No unique characters(presumably this will be changed if Lorgar and Erebus ever get rules in 40k). No cult units (such as Noise Marines or Berzerkers). However, units that can purchase marks can still take them, as long as that base unit doesn't have a specific mark by default. Like all legions, you must take VotLW, which is free and grants you your "legion tactics".

Benefits: Word Bearers Psykers harness Warp Charges on 3+ when rolling Malefic Conjuration powers, and Possessed are Troops. Models with VotLW re-roll to hit against Ultramarines, but Ultramarines gain Hatred (Word Bearers). Friendly units within 6" of Word Bearers Dark Apostles gain Zealot.

Warlord Traits
1: Zealot. If Warlord already has Zealot, you now always re-rolling hits in CC.
2: Become a Psyker. If already a Psyker, +1 Mastery Level.
3: Each turn you may grant a friendly unit within 12" Counterattack, Fearless, Furious Charge or Relentless.
4: Adamantium Will and Fearless
5: You and friendly Characters within 12", when rolling on the Chaos Boon table can either add or subtract 1 from the second die when rolling on the boon table.
6: Gain an extra roll on the Boon table.

Relics
Malefic Tome: Bearer gets 1 extra power, which must be rolled on Malefic Daemonology.

Skull of Monarchia: Bearer and unit re-roll all failed to-hit rolls against Armies of the Imperium in close combat, and if against Ultramarines re-roll to wound.

Script of Erebus: Generate D6 Extra warp charges in a psychic phase, once per game.

Baleful Icon: Enemy units must re-roll successful charges, and if they still succeed, the charge is disordered.

Crown of Blasphemer: 4+ Invulnerable Save, Adamantium Will, and Fear.

Cursed Crozius: AP3 Power Maul that grants Preferred Enemy: Armies of the Imperium.

>>
>>50561781
Use superior Russian engines. Google fucked itself in the name of political correctness
>>
>>50562959
Yeah, just checked this >>50562915 out.

My immediate thoughts is a Khorne Lord on Bike/Juggernaught with the Talisman of Burning Blood in a Mark of Khorne Bike Squad.

Deploy at the line, Blood Mad about 7ish inches forward, drive forward 12, Assault turn 1 with a Khornate Biker gang.

That might be good enough to get me back into chaos, as turn one charges are vital to assault armies these days it seems. My biggest problem with Khorne was the lack of decent methods of getting stuck in and Land Raiders being obsoleted by grav didn't help, Pre heresy fixed that with Raiders that repaired immobilization and didn't care about melta but this is a nice way of getting stuck in as well.

The warlord traits are great as well. Big question is this one:
>at end of enemy charge subphase your unit
can charge

If my opponent doesn't issue any charges do we technically still go through that phase, So I can be near them and still grab a lucky charge?

>Turn one Khorne charge

>Charging on my turn as well as yours

Holy shit man...
>>
>>50563072
Yes the phase still happens, technically every phase happens its just easier to skip some of them if no one can do anything.
>>
>>50562663
no, not when he used it
when he continued to have it.
>>
>>50562730
look at codex chaos space marines 6th ed, 4th ed, all the shitty supplements and tell me they like any csm.
>>
>>50563072
Everyone gets a charge phase, it's just the players choice if they choose to utilise it or not. So you can basically steal their charge phase if they choose not to charge anything.

So they either counter charge you, and get overwatched, or sit there and risk get charged.

Because they're 7 foot tall Linebackers in the best power armor their sugar daddies could buy them.

Anyone could do that. Guardsmen are brave because they hold the fucking line with nothing between them and the enemy bullets but armor barely better than what we have today.

Orks are brave because they know they'll die, but Waaagh! on, because datz da Orky fing ta do.

Tau are brave because they're standing against the might of empires that are expontentially larger than them, and they refuse to abandon the idealism that makes them who they are, no matter the odds.

Even the fucking Eldar are brave, because they know if they bite it as a species, Slaanesh is going to tongue fuck their tight assholes for all eternity.

Space Marines on both sides of the Heresy are protected on so many levels that nothing they do can be considered heroic.

I have very limited experience with Necrons, but as far as I know their decurion is very good, giving alot of your units that have reanimation protocols a 5+ feel no pain.

Their basic troops are some of the best in the game as of when I played them (About a year ago or so). Their gauss weapons (or whatever they are called) able to auto-glance vehicles on 6's.

It's worth grabbing the epub file from the top of the thread and reading through their rules and detachments in the codex.

Friendly reminder that orks were also created explicitly to fight nonstop, and that their religion states that when they die they're just barfed back into the world in a new ork body. And because of greenskin meme magic, that's true. So there's literally no reason for them to fear death.

Conrad Curze: Unbridled application of force through stealth guile and maximum collateral damage (punishers)

Vulcan: Concern for those being conquered. (Protection of civilians). Toughness through understanding and personal responsibility.
Mortarion: Disregard for those being conquered (mass use of chemical and radioactive weapons). Toughness through indoctrination and training.

(They're both outriders who often act unilaterally without support)
Khan: Conspicuous aggression through direct and fast application of force. The individual matters.
Alpharius: inconspicuous aggression through the indirect and methodical application of force. The team matters.

Russ: Instinctive, both in leadership and in fighting. The unlearned "talent"

There is a bit of a divide between people who want to just waifu up the Eldar as pretty spesh elves, and the people who actually want them to look like they are described in the lore.

The idea that the later want them to look like friggin sectoids or some utterly inhuman creepy ayylmaos is a strawman. The Eldar are described to have high cheekbones, almond shaped, almost predatory cat/bird like eyes, and very angular and sharp features, that make it quite apparent that they are not human if you look at them properly (roughly like the artwork by this guy), but even that is apparently too ihuman to some people who just want them to be pretty humans.

The problem is increased further due to the fact that official artwork that depicts Eldar faces is all over the place, with very little consistency.

They Equated "Chapter Master" with "Warrior King," and they were not wrong to do so. A Chapter Master is an Independent warrior of a large band and has primarily little oversight in who is allowed to boss them around. Yet when they arrive, they are almost always the highest ranking individuals on the field, and frequently outrank generals and admirals.

They know that there is more than one "Warrior King," that "Warrior King" is a rank based on both skilled merit and veterancy, and they know that one single "Warrior King" represents a huge investment of resources, provided you consider experience a resource along with materials. Hell, the loss of X centuries of experience is probably a far more serious blow than the loss of tons of equipment.

So, yeah, killing a Chapter Master means that the Imperium has lost something that it can't immediately replace. Even after Shrike assumes the title, Severax's loss is still significant.

I mean, if Chapter Masters were a dime a dozen the RG players wouldn't have flipped so much shit about Shadowsun killing one.

If they don't fear anything then they aren't brave either.

Unfortunately, it looks like the "Next thread" has existed for a few hours, and only now has 3 posts because they forgot to title the shit.

Maybe this.

I actually really like it.

SoB should NOT look like waifus. Blanche's style is actually really nice when applied to models.

>>50564093
Just ignore it and make another one. Non titled = non thread.

Necromancer model and Sorceror on Disc, for the top two?

Nurgle champion for the bottom? The axe one with the guts hanging out?
>>
>>50564159
Think leftmost is a tomb wraith.

Didn't look further into it as it on the cancerous shithole that is pinstrest, so no sources and endless redirects.

True.

>Blanche's style is actually really nice when applied to models.
Agree to disagree.

Don't give them any ideas. would a nid invasion of fenris be likely now that they're weakened, though?

Just so I'm understanding it right, the Akashic Reader in Mechanicum is a Golden Throne right?

I have been introducing new people to the game so it fits my needs in both time and rule simplicity. So far I've gotten 5 people interested to the point of buying models and wanting to play regularly. So its also cheaper for them to start.

>>50564891
Very true. Well stated. That's definitely a lot easier to get into than "Hey drop 300 dollars and spend months of painting and assembling to play with me!"

I've tried to get people into the game using my other painted armies, but they end up having fun and not wanting to buy because they have my armies to play with. I think your strategy is a better one.

>>50564260
good luck, if you learned anything from wrath of magnus you would realize space wolves are protected by 888 layers of plot armor.

Gee i wonder who could be behind that.

What the actual shit? It's not like those models were replaced by anything. Why the fuck aren't they still available?

1- It's the Aspiring Sorcerer from the Rubric Marines box

2- You can make 2/3 look like normal marines, 1 has to have bird legs though

3- One disc comes in the box

How did they fuck up the toes that bad? Looks like the feet are cut around the arc to fit into the boots.

>Ramshackle an invuln save

Negative; bring back the table or it's not Ramshackle.
>>
>>50563590
Yes, very; but also fairly tough to work with, since troops evaporate to small arms fire (T3 5+).

The two units just have some weird stuff going on. For instance, the Sun shark (the bomber) had to be FAQ'd so that it actually started the game with a bomb. Every time time drops a bomb, it has a 1/6th chance of not being able to make any more. Also, the guns on its drones have a profile that cannot be used, as the drones have skyfire (rather than the Tau norm of choosing whether or not they have skyfire). The razorshark is mostly meh, four piranhas cost as much and do about the same and are more fun in my opinion.

Sucks to see all the cool stuff off to the side they aren't taking pictures of.
