Nth for Snakegirl Sniper squads WIP.

How do you fix the Tzeentch Discipline?

As I see it, Boon of Mutation has to go, Siphon Magic needs reworked to not be a dead draw on Aspiring Sorcerers, and Breath of Chaos needs buffed slightly.

shameless repost from the last one

so you know this "stu" guy in the decurion explanation texts? let me be your stu and help me organise my collection into an army i could field.

i am playing them as black legion and would love to play the black legion speartip, as it almost fits perfectly. this list does not have to be the best minmaxed powerhouse there is, but i like to benefit from the new rules.

i have painted so far:
1x chaos sorcerer (levitating, can be played with jump pack)
15x CSM, melee, 2x melta, sarge with fist and combimelta.
5x raptors, 2x melta, sarge with meltabombs
5x havocs, 4x autocannon
5x terminators, 5x combi-plasma, 2x fist, 2x mace, sarge with axe
2x 20 cultists, 2x flamer
1x kharybdis assault claw drop pod (the 20 man forgeworld drop pod)

my proposed list:

primary detachment: black legion speartip:
core: black legion warband (743)
- ?x chaos lord
- 5x chaos terminators
- 15x CSM, khorne, icon of wrath, 2x melta, 2x CCW, sarge with combimelta
- ?x CSM or chosen
- 5x raptors, 2x melta, sarge with combimelta
- 5x havocs, 4x autocannon
auxiliary: (?)

combined arms detachment: (600pt)
- 1x chaos sorcerer, mastery 3, jump pack, spell familiar
- 20 chaos cultists, 2x flamer
- 20 chaos cultists, 2x flamer
- kharybdis assault claw

so without any special gear this would be at 1343 points, but i still miss the chaos lord, one unit of CSM or chosen and an auxiliary choice. this is where you come in.

Here is a shitty picture of the model i use as my assault claw, the portal vortex

questions will follow
>>
>>50636109
>Breath of Chaos
A unit hit with a Breath of Chaos must pass a leadership test on three dice. It passed nothing happens, if failed a model in the unit becomes a Chaos Spawn.

I don't know what the spell does actually.
>>
>>50636154
Warp Charge disappears at the end of the psychic phase. There's nothing in Siphon Magic to imply otherwise.

Even if it didn't, "cast this WC1 blessing in order to maybe cast a different WC1 spell next turn" if still a shitty power to generate.

>>50636161
because there are many, i will give numbers to my questions, so there is not so much confusion. any help would be greatly appreciated.

questions:
1 - how would you play the chaos lord? i was thinking about a cheap one with terminator armor so i could use the speartip special rule and the termi squad would arrive turn one. together with the assault claw (bearing the 15 csm) that would be two big threats on my first turn.
2 - what would you take for the second mandatory slot in the warband? five cheap CSM to hold objectives?
3 - would you expand the 15 CSM inside the assault claw to 20? with the whole black legion nonsense, khorne and the icon they have: VotlW, hatred, fear, crusader, rage, counterstrike, reroll charge distance and furious charge for 15 points per model. besides i really like the idea of a 20man marine unit. legion style
4 - what kind of auxiliary would you take? i was thinking about just a small spawn unit. cheap harassment
5 - is the 4++ or 5++ save worth its points on the sorcerer?
6 - mark of tzeentch on the termi squad? 5 points for half a storm shield (4++) seems kinda worth it. with it being five models they dont have to be a suicide unit

another shitty picture to grab your attention

ORKS

1. An Initiative increase across the board. Boyz are now I3, Nobz are now I4, and Warbosses are now I5.

2. Army-wide Furious Charge.

3. A Ballistic Skill increase across the board. Boyz are now BS3, Nobz are now BS4, and Warbosses are now BS5.

4. Choppas are now AP4. Big Choppas are now AP3.

5. A Toughness increase across the board. Boyz are now T4, Nobz are now T5, and Warbosses are now T6.

6. A Leadership increase across the board. Boyz are now LD8, Nobz are now LD9, and Warbosses are now LD10.

7. Army-wide Feel No Pain 6+. This can be improved with Wargear and Painboyz up to a maximum of 4+.

8. Painboyz and Mekboyz are Elite choices. You may take up to 3 of each type as a single Elites choice, and you may distribute them as Independent Characters.

9. Mekboyz now have access to Kustom Force Fields. A Kustom Force Field grants a 4+ Cover Save to all models completely within 18 inches, including vehicles.

10. A Waaaaagh may be called once per game, and grants all Orks in your army Fearless for that turn. Calling a Waaaaagh also allows all Orks in your army the ability to reroll their Charge distance for that turn.

11. Characters now have access to non-Mega Armour wargear that grants a 2+ armour save, 1 per army.

12. Characters now have access to non-Mega Armour wargear that grants a 3+ invulnerable save, 1 per army.

Warp Charge 2, Template, AP2, wounds a 4+ and glances on a 4+.

It's effect just isn't really commensurate with a
WC2. Of the powers I listed, it's easily the least in need of improvement, but it's very, very often inferior to the Pyromancy Primaris that you could generate automatically instead if you wanted to (and weren't locked into Tzeentch).

>Warp Charge disappears at the end of the psychic phase.
check the wording specifically the last sentence. It mentions nothing of removeing left over dice, phase or turn.

>Siphon Magicis a blessing that targets the Psyker. For the rest of the phase, each time a friendly model successfully manifests a psychic power within 18" of them, place a dice next to this model. Any dice accrued in this manner can be used by the Psyker as bonus Warp Charge points.

>if still a shitty power to generate.
Without a doubt, however if they stay over you could have enough WC after one to not to have to throw more dice for force for example.

Was going to ask in the WH40K RPG thread but it got archived:

Reading some fluff about the Black Templars, it says they are a fleet-based chapter, roaming the stars in a massive base fleet and only setting up small (by 40k standards) chapter keeps on conquered worlds.

My question is, how is this possible when an entire chapter is only 1000 (or so) Space Marines? Do space marines crew these fleets, or are they simply passengers with a massive retinue of normal helper-humans? What about the chapter keeps? Are they manned by true-blue Black Templars, or more helpers? Wouldn't leaving even just one Marine per fortress prevent hundreds of Black Templars from doing their most important work, namely, murdering things for the Emperor?

A modern aircraft carrier already needs several chapters worth of crew just by itself. So how can the Black Templars operate a fleet?
>>
>>50636190
1- Sounds okay.
2- Probably.
3- Something seems off on your unit cost there. 15 PPM for the Mark of Khorne, plus ~1.7 PPM for the Icon.
4- Spawn are the cheap go to, although you do have the Cultists necessary for a Lost and the Damned.
5- Only if you plan on sticking him in CC a lot. I generally go without to save costs.
6- It adds up. If you have the spare points at the end, go for it. It does limit what you can do with the Lord.

I'd use the Portal as a Dreadclaw for a 10 man CSM squad and throw the 40 cultists in a Lost and the Damned formation instead. Kharybdis ain't worth it for a regular CSM squad. Not that a Kharybdis will ever really be worth it.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but what possible purpose would a Dreadnought have for pouches that carry ammo that it wouldn't be able to logically open or even get to. It's stubby little arms just don't move like that.

>>50636249
Ah, I see. So it doesn't ACTUALLY generate Warp Charge, just dice that can be used as Warp Charge. Still, they would fall off at the start of your next psychic phase when the Blessing expires.

>>50636282
thank you for your answer
3- i forgot to include the points for the icon. i know that the 15-20 CSM inside the assault claw are the weakest point of my list, but it is the reason i started this army. i wanted a chaos army without any boxy vehicles and loved the idea of a big unit of CSM being "summoned" my my portal-vortex-assault-claw-thing
4- the lost and damned formation seems nice, but i like my 20man cultist mobs. besides i need a combined detachment to run the dreadclaw

to the guy in the last thread who said i cant use my portal vortex as a dreadclaw because of its footprint: i only play this army in my gaming club and everyone there is more than fine with it.

And your reasoning is? The blessing is to create the dice and ends in the psychic phase. What to do with the dice is completely separate part and has no mention of when you must use them.

Attacks on his profile are his base attacks that he gets in close combat regardless of equipment.

He gets an ADDITIONAL attack if he has pistol+ccw. The flamer is unrelated to his attacks characteristic, and the number of times it can shoot is said on its profile(1). Also he can swap his bolter for the flamer iirc, so he can keep the pistol+ccw bonus while also having the flamer.

>>50636483
They're probably not in the right place because I never assemble models using instruction manuals. I liked having them on the thighs to serve as extra armour on the waist, and they break up the sleek lines of the model on it's legs.

>>50636376
Taking a Dreadclaw as a Dedicated Transport for a ten-man CSM unit instead of a 15 man unit with a Kharybdis frees up a ton of points, and the unit isn't that much smaller. A fifteen man unit will also have the issue that it will massively overkill a great many of the units you will throw it at, without significantly improving your odds against those units that a 10-man unit couldn't handle. Hell, you might even be able to squeeze in a second Dreadclaw CSM squad for your second "troop" choice.

I legitimately don't understand why you people ask for list feedback if you're just going to say "naw, I like my list" whenever someone actually takes the time to post a response.

They are basicly two part shells, so shifting the pose is a pain but possible if you have the greenstuff and time. Head is easy, it's a flat plate that goes inside the front shell. Just size a helmet and mount it with greenstuff.

Yo!

Traitor Legions inspired me so much with the new World Eaters rules that I figured I'd make an 1850 army for them for 40k. (I already have them for 30k. Love me some 'Zerkers!)

As Gorefather is a relic, now, I figured I'd model one of my Angron models as a Daemon Prince, and fuck his shit up.

Not going hyper competitive here, but I want to win here and there and have some FUN with it. I think I did well for a theme, toom and before you ask, the Warpsmith is traveling with Kharn and a Zerker Squad.

Yay or nay?

If I got 2 or 3 basiliks (s9 ap3 large blast barrage ordnsnce), is it better to take 2 or 3 devil dogs (blast melta) or a hellhound (s6 ap4 torrent flamer)?
>>
>>50637048

The upcoming Carcharodons novel has fin-shaped antennas on helmets and really loads on the tattoos and shark mouths and stuff since the author used fan conversions as a reference instead of the more plain official artwork. It kind of annoys me.
>>
>>50637084
What does the rest of your list look like? The Basilisks are decent anti-armor by themselves and a Hellhound absolutely rapes anything that would survive the Basilisks via cover saves, but the circumstances can vary based on what you're backing them up with. Just be wary of having no AP2.
>>
>>50637084
Devil Dogs can cover your AP 2 needs. There's a formation out there to get some ignores cover artillery, maybe look into that for the basilisks.

Can Kharn take relics?

If so, I'd heavily consider giving him a Talisman of Burning Blood.

18" charges are fun.

The rest of army as of now is 2 squads of melta flamer vets Ina chimera with ccs.

>>
>>50637156
Not him but no.
>>
>>50637156
no
>>
>>50637156
Nope, none for him.

It'd be funny to give him Gorefather, though (since he already has Gorechild).
>>
What's the most fun army?
>>
>>50637028

The World Eaters rules make everything a berzerker, so normal CSM are berzerkers that trade 1 WS for costing 4 less points per model. Basically "fixed" berzerkers that don't suffer from being overcosted. You're running the formation though so it doesn't matter.

5 Maulerfiends is brutal. Are you going to do conversions to make them World Eaters/Khornate themed?
>>
Can a fast vehicle that moves 12" fire a blast weapon?
>>
>>50637190
Probably YMMV or opinions

You can have fun with any army that isn't Orks.
>>
>>50637190

The one with the models you like most.
>>
>>50637156

Kharn can't purchase relics, but he comes with one(Gorechild) automatically.

Also that list can add the Warpsmith to Kharn's squad to give him the benefit anyway.
>>
>>50637190
The one that looks the coolest
>>50637198
I played green tide and had lots of fun.
>>
>>50637196

Yes, it can fire two blast weapons in fact, because it is a Fast vehicle and so two weapons at 12" are not snap shots.

Are there any pdfs of Traitor Legions, yet, or only epubs?

>>50637161
Are your Vets' weapons set in stone? What's the CCS rocking? Meltavets is a tried and true strategy so if you have two squads of them with at least two meltas per squad rolling around in Chimeras you should be more or less set. Basilisks as emergency anti-armor. If I were you I'd go with a Hellhound in that situation but I'm biased.

If you do go that route them look into Emperor's Blade and Emperor's Wrath depending on how you want to spec your army later if you want to grow it. The former is a godsend for MechVets since it lets them viably tote plasma without blowing themselves up, while the latter gives access to Ignore Cover Basilisks(!) if you take some more artillery and a CCS to keep them company.

I did it to try the formation, but, you are quite right. Fleet and the extra 3-inches to charging sounded fun. Maybe a CAD instead for ObSec? I heard that Khornate Chosen are also very good now.

The Chaos Warband formation might be right up your alley. If you're willing to bring a dreadnought and a couple bikes/assault marines.

The new relic plasma pistol says it replaces a ranged weapon. DP's don't come with one, you can only give him a CC or additional wargear type of relic, sadly.

I quite dig the tattoos and shark jaw motifs but I think fins would go a little too far. Very Polynesian.
>>
>>50637309
I'd probably do Raptors, seeing as how I already have an unopened box when I was preparing (and let down by) Traitor's Hate. The Helbrute is bleh, okay, whatever.

Worried that this is just going to drive up the points again, though. I'll start doing math.

Just double-checked, and yeah, it's a no go. Sorry! It is a cool idea.

I would replace of his hands with the Plasma Forgefiend head, I think. Though that looks entirely too impressive for just a single short-rage plasma shot, I guess...
>>
>>50637311

It won't, because he can only buy one relic. And before you say he only has one, GW's logic is as follows.

>He then cannot buy the pistol because he already has a relic
>>
>>50637421
There's a Daemonhunters mod which adds Daemonhunters-era GK and then Ultimate Apocalypse which Wardinizes the faction. Are you play them in the campaign? Yes, but you'd have to mod them into it yourself and that's not worth the effort because that campaign is hot garbage.

I don't think they were.

Just grab one of the kits that has one. Particularly if you get the Russ it has way more than you'll need for that one tank. Otherwise you can pick the sprues up off ebay. A lot of guard players picked up Armoured Claw for a cheap Chimera+Squad and sell the upgrade sprues.

People have any tips on painting white armour? I'm still quite new to miniature painting and want to paint my space marines white scars, I'm a bit worried they'll be boring if they're just white with a wash and drybrush (which is how I've painted miniatures up until now)

Angels Penitent.

They used to have the least amount of Death Company of any BA Successor, bar the Lamenters before they became unstable, as they focused their time on art and poetry before the Chaplains met a man calling himself The Prophet, after which they declared themselves heads of the Chapter while the 1st company, Chapter Master, and most of the Librarius were gone on a crusade.

Imagine this happening on the tabletop where they don't have enough plot armor to make the Tau blush. Two marines hopping out of their Rhino because they want to smash face would immediately be gunned down and their angry brothers in the unmanned box would be left for dead.

You're absolutely right, Anon. But that's partially why they have a sort of charm to them. They're raving madmen, and I love them for it.

It's the Butcher's Nails. They made them slightly more durable because they stopped feeling pain, but even then they always took absurd amounts of casualties in every campaign of the Crusade.

Khorne mitigated this quite a bit with his blessings. If their new rules and TH fluff are anything to go by, they're now sanic-tier fast to the point we have regular Berzerkers sprinting through half a kilometer of plasma shots which they tank and regenerate like nothing, all in about 15 to 30 seconds.

Fulgrim is still a snek as of Angel Exterminatus when Pert killed him while he was weakened by Fulgrim eating his souls and he cheated by coming back as a Daemon.

Earlier in the book, Pert beat Fulgrim like he was nothing with a surprise left and told him he'd kill him if he pulled any more tricks and not let him take charge.

Hilariously, he really did kill him, as stated earlier in this post.

>>50639078

Thousand Sons can't overwatch and have bolters for shooting. You can drive up in trucks then charge and they are stuck there for the rest of the game. You don't want to move closer to get the rapid fire with bolters and you can't move back to hide, so iff you don't have doombolt on your rubrics, they are basicly dead.

If he is running fluffy Thousand Sons, then he has Rubrics and Scarabs. The Scarabs have some staying power but a squad of 9 is ~400 pts. 9 Rubrics is 242. Orks will just drown them in bodies, They can't put out enough fire to kill things before they are overrun.

Now Fulgrim being a snake I can believe, the sword which made him turn sides was captured from slaaneshi snake people. Though I do think the change with Magnus was appropriate. Also you were right.

>>
>>50639161
Literally no idea about the Dread since I don't know what Deathwing does, but BS5 on a plasma cannon probably isn't worth 25 points, even if it is a small blast.

As for LRs, always Crusader. The Redeemer is fat and its guns are deceptively bad. Think about it - it can shoot at two different targets if it moves 6 and then PotMS at a different target... IF both targets are in range and IF your positioning lets you hit both of them well enough to bother snapshooting the AC (if you even can, given the angles you could be shooting at). Did I mention these are flame templates ie. you must be in melta range to shoot?

The Crusader has more transport capacity anyway.

I don't care if plasma cannons are bad though. I love them too much! They look awesome. You're probably right about the blast part though.

>>50639205
Deathwing gives Fearless and Hatred (CSM). Not really worth it, but it is fluffy. BS5 and WS5 not worth the 25 points? Alright.

Yeah, you're probably right about the Land Raiders, but it makes me sad because an S6 AP2 template sounds awesome and if it only had a 14 model capacity it would be 100% perfect.

Shaking essentially applies the dice-roll mechanic to the models, bunching them together and ruining your coherency.

If there's a way to toggle it off, I would love to hear it, because it's some bullshit. Literally no purpose when the right-click roll function for dice is better anyway.
>>
>>50639265
Anon your list is as fluffy as a puppy. 10/10 would play against every time.
>>
>>50639265
>storm bolter and plasma pistols

drop em

>vet sergeant and power sword on squad that can't charge

drop

>plasma cannons

debatably useful. Don't use them on tac marines. I mentioned Haemonculus Reactors earlier. They're 40 points for a pair and they make your Cannons large blasts. Super sweet for 4x Plasma Cannon Devastators.

>venerable

discussed already, probably drop it.

>deathwing

looks as good as Deathwing can be I suppose.

Also, tacticals kinda suck on their own. Bolters are good for clearing hordes but not much else. Give the sarges combi-plasmas and give the squads rhinos.

>>50639204

Ya. Arhiman can make a difference, but I don't like using him because "My dudes" fluff.

I think main issue is they put out the same amount of fire power as a 75 pt squad for 150 pts. So they can't actually make their points back and they provide no board control because no one is afraid of the four dice you throw at long ranges and if your within 12 you can charge them for free.

>>50639317
We are sad, strange, hopeless creatures.
>>
>>50639063
>>50639078
He didn't have Magnus.

We played at 1500.

He had two units of rubrics, a unit of scarabs, and a unit of 20 tzaangors.

I had some warbikes, max unit of boyz, some grot, looted wagon w/ killcannon, junka w/ shokk, supacannon on a battlewagon, and tankbustas.

Basically yeah, his build was iffy and made some play errors and my dice were on fire.
>>
>>50639268
Ah yeah, i can see how that would be a huge problem, i will have to see if there is someway to edit the gamefiles to disable that.

gonna buy it and test now, along with vassal
>>
>>50639340
If not there are shit loads of board games you could play with your mates
>>
>>50639332

Boys will shred rubrics, and the battlewagon and looted wagon probably went uncontested.

How did you deal with the Scarabs? Drown them in dice or PK's?
>>
>>50639304
I just realized that regular marines can't charge even without the heavy weapons since Bolters are Rapid Fire and not Assault. Sadness.

I don't see what's wrong with the storm bolter though?

I really want to keep the plasma pistols and the power swords since I love the models, but I'm willing to drop the swords, veterancy, and maybe the Venerable dread for the Rhinos, I guess.
>>
>>50639363
>How did you deal with the Scarabs? Drown them in dice or PK's?
Both. I had Zhadsnark in melee with the bastards for 2 turns. The 2nd unit of bikes that made it there finally drowned them in 40 dice.
>>
>>50639304
>>50639367
Wait, if I gave all the tacs Rhinos, where would my chaplain go?
>>
>>50639361
Yeah what my buddies where just telling me, either way we will find something to do together even if i can't be there.

Here's hoping we can figure 40k out, been playing that weekly for 4 years now.
>>
>>50639375

Makes sense., How big were his units? Not Sure how he got 1500 out of just those 4 squads.
>>
What are the biggest problems with tournament games in 40k?
Encouraging unfluffy lists?
Allies abuse?
Boring scenarios?
Hyper competitive players?
>>
>>50639401
>greenstuff a bolter magazine and/or part of a bolter below the plasma pistol

Boom, combi-bolter that looks pretty decent if you do it right.

Chaplain could go hang out with the Terminators. I figured he'd be there anyways, being pretty melee-focused and all.

Storm Bolters are just kind of a waste. 5 points for an extra bolter shot. A meltabomb would be more effective.
>>
>>50639328
It's the psyker that has to make the points back, but good luck with that when you don't roll doombolt or breath of chaos.

Rubrics dropping to 20 points each wouldn't have hurt anybody. And flamers for 7 points is just insulting, what army actually pays more than 5 points for basic flamers ?
>>
>>50639419
Rules abuse in that players just spam the cheesiest units for incredibly unfun games.
WAAC mentality.
Some players outright cheat if they think they can get away with it despite severe penalties if they get caught. I'm not talking about lists but sneakily trying to get an extra inch or two out of movement for example.

In a nutshell, all of the above.
>>
>>50639367
>I just realized that regular marines can't charge even without the heavy weapons since Bolters are Rapid Fire and not Assault. Sadness.
they do have boltpistols
>>
>>50639419
Lack of restricions on army building, but that goes for 40k in general. Formations were a mistake.
>>
>>50639432

The worst part about the flamers is it implies that the AP3 boltguns are free OR that the AP4 flamers are 7 pts BETTER than the AP3 boltguns on a unit that can't overwatch without a 120 pt investment.
>>
>>50639421
The Land Raider's full though. All 12 models worth of transport capacity is used by the termis. I guess you're right on the storm bolter though.

>>50639444
True enough.
>>
>>50636045
I can't find a link for the Imperial Munitorum Manual, anyone got a link? OP links doesn't look to have one
>>
>>50639411
Both rubric squads had 10, tzaangors had 20.

One rubric squad had all flamers, the other had a dude with that relic that shoots the S9 shot that ignores 2 armor, the scarabs had a missile launcher and the special autocannon.
>>
>>50639454
Oh yeah, sorry thought you were using a Crusader.

Maybe just run two Librarians? One Termie and one not, second one goes and buffs some Greenwing dudes. Or save the points. Or make the Chaplain a Termie and kick the Librarian out.
>>
>>50639472
>Not squads of 9 or multiples of 9

He lost before the first dice was rolled.
>>
>>50639448
implying it was better before
I remember Draigos Dirty Dozen, waveserpentspam and similar bullshit. Just as fun to play against as current formations with more special rules then many players can even remember
>>
>>50639492
>Draigowing and mechdar have more special rules to remember than every single formation

Are you fucking retarded?
>>
>>50639472
>One rubric squad had all flamers,
oh dear, I can imagine now why he lost.
>>
>>50639492
even before that, legion rules/chapter tactics made for similarly cookie-cutter lists. Or before even those, the infamous craftworld codex with the alaitoc/ulthwe rules of bullshit.

Competitive wargaming is kind of silly. I don't know why they're such a big deal compared to the more casual narrative events that rarely show up.
>>
>>50639501
read again, before calling others retarded
>>
>>50639492
Formations just made it worse. There being stupid OP units before them doesn't make formations any better.
>>
>>50639518
what was the infamous craftworld alaitoc and ulthwe bullshit?
>>
>>50639472
>One rubric squad had all flamers
Christ =[
That is 328 pts. (Naked Rubrics are 265 for 10)
Hope he isn't too depressed.
>>
>>50639484
Yeah but I'm getting BaC and I'd like to use my money's worth on them, and since it comes with a chaplain and three tac squads...

I thought about kicking the Librarian out, and getting a Termie chaplain, but the Termi Librarian is plastic and the Termi Chaplain isn't. If I had a third HQ slot and the Redeemer had 14 capacity it would definitely work then, but oh well. Besides, I thought it over and it made more sense for the Librarian to Interromancy either enemy characters for the Champion to challenge or enrage the entire squad with Interromancy.

I reasoned the veterancy and power swords on my tacs as for in case an enemy charges or challenges and they'd be able to succeed, but it'd be kinda hard for that to happen since they have a nice volume of fire with their plasma weapons and BS2 Overwatch.
>>
>>50639524

There's no reason to mention formations "having more special rules than people can remember" in that sentence unless the special rules belonged to the subject of the sentence.
>>
>>50639518
>Competitive wargaming is kind of silly. I don't know why they're such a big deal compared to the more casual narrative events that rarely show up.
I dont know. Personally I would love to have a narrative campaign of sorts where you have different objectives and restrictions, like orbital assault, so its something different then the fight over 5 dice who are placed on the table in way that the opponent cannot reach easily.
Also I am certain the game is far more balanced if you take the 25%terrain rule as optional. Would be interesting a ruined city or forest (roughly 90% terrain, obviously) and big things might not go everywhere due to roads being too narrow etc.

Farseers casting cherrypicked powers from halfway across the table was pretty bullshit but I didn't play competitively back then so I don't know the full of it. I can imagine why, though. Eldrad was a motherfucker with constant Fortune and Runes of Warding back in the day.

My friends and I ran the Zombie escape game where you play longways down the table to get to an escape vehicle guarded by not!Typhus choosing to either shoot at oncoming zombies or at the other players. It was some stupid fun.
We also did Triumph and Treachery, pretty cool.
I want to get them into Kill Teams, either HoR or regular.

do tournaments really show who is the better player?

seems like they are more likely to show who brings the stronger list and has better luck with the dice
>>
>>50639577
I know warhammer world used to run Campaign Weekends, which were narrative tournaments that took place over two days, with players split into sides and playing a bunch of thematic missions.

If I weren't on the other side of the planet, I would have been all over those. They never really showed up in america/canada, short of during the Armageddon and Eye of Terror campaigns.
>>
>>50639615
Despite the memes there is still an iota of strategy to the game. A good player with an average list can and will shit all over some netlisting newfag, I've seen it done. That said, tournaments go a long way to prove the best ARMY.

>>50639618
They still do, but it's pricey to get in t. Britfag
>>
>>50639615
>who brings the stronger list

List-building is part of being a better player

>luck with the dice

Impossible to completely mitigate but usually diminished by good tournament structure. But you're playing a dice game so you have to accept a bit of that in the game.
>>
>>50639558
Well anon, if you like your list, then just add a couple upgrades with the last 20 points you have. Flamer on the Dreadnought? Multi-Melta on the Land Raider? Who knows!

Actually, would a heavy flamer on a ven dread be good, or would one keep it's storm bolter? I know that a MM on a Redeemer is good since you could pop vehicles that come too close or if something's out of Flamer range.

>Inquisition loses an HQ slot and servo skulls but they get to have a Warlord trait even if they aren't your Warlord
>>
>>50639654
Heavy Flamer on a dread means if it's charged it can always hit d3 S5 AP4 shots on overwatch, rather than 2 max S4 AP5 shots at BS2.

Though, it is a shorter range.
>>
>>50639718
>>Inquisition loses an HQ slot and servo skulls but they get to have a Warlord trait even if they aren't your Warlord

>>50639783
Its gonna cost the same if not more, and you're going to spend a lot of time finding actual models to use and fixing them up to be not pieces of shit. Just buy recasts like the rest of us.
>>
>>50639205
>>50639265
Venerable also grants the ability to re-roll on the Vehicle Damage table if penned. Which means that combined with Extra Armor, Venerable Dreads with Storm Bolters are actually pretty survivable, as that Vehicle Explodes! result just became Crew Stunned, and since it doesn't prevent the dread from moving, all attacks are from AV12, which while still not that good, it will help. Unfortunately, Grim Resolve only triggers on Overwatch and not Snap Shots, meaning your BS is only 1 if Penned.
>>
>>50639701
Can be, yeah. There was a HH weekend up recently for which the ticket price was absurd. That and the fact I'm a ten hour drive to/from Nottingham kind of put me off, but I'm hoping to crash with a buddy who lives there next time they're doing doubles (I'll be playing with him, too).
