Army Builder won't let me put the warbuggies in a squadron of 5, so I had to list them separately.

Also, the warbuggies have twin-linked rokkits, but again, Army Builder wouldn't allow it.

Warboss and Painboy join the unit of Nobz.

Feedback appreciated.

Admech loser here, I was ducking around in paint the other day and I came up with this color scheme, finally. Now all I have to do is actually buy the nonsense and build it. And then find some plan on how to paint it logically. I've been told Skitarii are really fiddly with the details, so I'm a little bit dubious on my own skills.

>>
>>50905040
Why only 1810? Unless that's an army builder thing. I'd double check your points manually, if you're getting any sort of errors. And actually email the List Guy. He usually fixes things really quickly.

Anyway, the list seems kinda lacking in anything with high strength vs. AV13/14 or with anything with a good volume of fire to strip Hull points. At the same time though, I'm not too sure what you could add for a fluffy Kult of Speed army. Maybe some Mega-Blasta Deffkoptas?

So Tzeentch demons just completely bullshit or what?

I was attempting to see what demon allies the Thousand Sons could use and decided to see what they had (noone plays them in my area). 1240 points of me messing around no idea what I'm doing later and I have a 1250 list with 26 warp dice, all units with at least +1 strength to warpflame attacks and powers, +2 when within 12' of the two leading heralds. Every demon also corrupts objectives, Horrors split into new units 2 times, and the amount of summons I could pull of with this list could double my army by turn 4.

I find this hilarious considering the points cost, my limited knowledge of the books and artifacts that could probably make this more bullshit and how it completely makes Thousand Sons obsolete when planning a competitive army.

>and the amount of summons I could pull of with this list could double my army by turn 4.

Pink Horrors can't do summoning.
>>
Could you recommend some good youtube channels for 40k batreps?
>>
>>50905289
Yes. Chaos Daemons were already one of the best armies and split is dumb.
>>
>>50905289

Can't summon anymore with pink horrors.
>>
>>50905301
The 5 herald can though mate.

If the new loci that split twice worked in the Warpflame host that would be hilarious.

You made me go look at their site again. When looking past all the T&A, some of their male Tau models look rad as fuck. Now I almost wanna make a small Tau army just to field swole as fuck cigar chumping fireblades.
>>
>>50905186

I like a lot of the Skitarii images. Sisters have some good ones. I do love a good "hold the line" image of Guard and Space Marines, though.
>>
>>50905181
Doesn't mean they didn't choose him.
As if they would let a Primarch slip through their fingers.
With his return in Demon form, he would rally his Legion fully to Chaos, rather than death of the Imperium. What a prize that would be.
Many marines died only to be reborn as demon princes, look at Grulgor of the DG.
Next time think before you post.

Someone told me to take raveners to act as a threat for my list is there any way they are commonly kitted or anything?

>>50905401

HoR Kill Team is probably what you want for that. The Leader upgrades help make the model, since you can actually give a Fire Warrior a counts-as Power Sword.
>>
>>50905411
Yeah, on model I was gonna shoot for a more brassy color. It's tough to translate it.
>>
>>50905480
It's also going to be really difficult to hit those spots on a skitarii model. They're really tiny and not even worth painting a different color. It's just going to look cluttered.
>>
>>50905512
Yeah I realized I got a little carried away artistically lol. It's just a concept for now really.

Kind of a Newfag here, know plenty about the fluff but as far as current rules are concerned I know very little. I was wondering what the best way to field/represent an inquisitorial force would be. I know they have a codex but its my understanding that its meant more as an allied thing rather than its own standalone army (same with the recent imperial agents book). I was thinking perhaps Militarum Tempestus along with Inquisition? To represent Inquisition stormtroopers, which I think are still canon.
>>
>>50905675
Depending on your cashflow and playstyle, you can go one of two ways.

>Tempestus
>Pricey
>Less of 'em
>More elite

>Astra Militarum
>Not as pricey
>More of 'em
>Less elite
>Need more to do the same job.

That + Inquisition forces is what you're looking at.

"I like it, I think you might need some more synapse/ranged firepower in there though, have you considered swapping out the Lictors/Rippers/Ravenors for Zoanthropes? They'd also help on the chance someone kills your big guys/synapse, not too mention those broods will be clumped tight to retain synapse so some Zoanthropes might help make your swarm less grouped?

Otherwise I really like it"

Well truthfully they can be blown away, but unlike the others they have a 3++ save which can in theory shrug of heavy weapons fire. Not too mention their toughness 4 so plasma won't instant kill them with 2 wounds. Its not uncommon for them to ignore multiple las cannon blasts, just don't let them get into melee.

Not too mention, it gives your opponent a difficult choice. Kill the seemingly fragile Zoanthropes which can potentially just shrug it off while the bigger guys get closer each turn, or target the bigger monsters and be pelted by Warp blasts followed by a co-ordinated swarm.

Personally I think they're a solid choice, but you are building a swarm/fluffy army so it comes down to whether you like them or not.

Also, could Venomthropes could be an option you'd consider??

I'd choose the Iron Warriors 'obliterarors can shoot the same weapon twice trait'

Probably Honor Demands Combat. I tend to always fuck up the shortest of charges, so re-rolling those sure would help.

Only that he has T 6 W 5 and that he's a big guy, which is obvious from the model.

i think zoanthropes actually might give me the threat i was needing. While the stronger lists will blow me away turn 1 or 2 against more tame lists they will give me an edge with the exact choice you are describing. now its time to decide if choose 3 seperate units which i personally think would help me increase synapse range better or should i throw em together to maybe get that wicked assault 3 warp blast.

Skitarii/Admech brought nothing unique to the tabletop gamewise and is only for anti-taufags that wants to play imperial version of tau.

>>50906430
Helbrecht is just a tad bit expensive at 180 for what he can do. That army charge is only worth its money when a good 75% of your units can make it count and he himself is just meh for a Chapter Master, due to not having a AP2 weapon, not having an Orbital Strike and also having somewhat sub-par stats. If you run a balanced list, pretty much any other HQ choice is a safer bet.
>>
>>50906484
>Tau
>over half the Skitarii units are meant to Assault or get close to the enemy, unlike any unit of Tau barring Kroot

OK. Sure. Here's your (You)
>>
>>50906470
Well yeah that's the choice now isn't it? Something to think about is though with them being separate it means enemy troops will be forced to split fire up. That way, if one gets assaulted or massed rapid fire them they won't drown in a sea of hits.

But as a group they also have their potential to deal massive damage, even serving as a big distraction worse case since a brood is pretty worrying. Also, you do also have two Tervigons and a Tyrant, so you do have some room to work with.

Glad this has helped you somewhat

I'm glad to see there are other Tyranid players trying to run fluffy lists and not running the same list as everyone else. Personally I'm a fan of Warriors and Shrikes. They die to a stiff breeze, but there's something about them that always makes me take a couple in an army.

I can't fucking pick a Legion to build my CSM into.

Word Bearers are cool with the ability to Your Dudes it up with Marks (BL can too, but fuck no Obsec), but otherwise don't excite me and I personally think zealotry sucks.

Iron Warriors are the main characters of my favorite books, but uninteresting otherwise.

I really feel for all the aligned Primarchs and Legions (except Death Guard and Mortarion), but TS are still overpriced to shit and I don't trust GW to fix it in 8th. EC and WE are on the same level for me personally.

Night Lords and Alpha Legion bore the shit out of me.

How do we fix synapse
I've always though it should give EW as well as zealot instead of fearless
but warriors and shrikes can join gants and gargs
also raveners can get a synapse prime

also should they still have genestealers in the codex? it doesn't seem to make sense anymore
>>
>>50906910
Synapse needs to boost movespeed for units within in and also for the unit providing it if idk say 20 units are within range.

That way you can actually reach people with hormagaunts without getting ripped apart.

I think everyone agrees that this guy is a bad player, because Admech are a pretty hard army to play correctly. They're very squishy and have a lot of moving parts. Jam one and its liable to fuck up the whole machine.

Also, War Convocation is bullshit, utterly so. I'm even building towards one and I hate myself for it. I would much rather run a bunch of Kastelans in a Cohort Cybernetica and flank it with a bunch of Vanguards.

With Flesh Tearer Taxi Co. gutted by the FAQ, War Convo isn't the greatest at the moment. Tau, Eldar, GSC, SM, Tzeentch Daemons, and even CSM (Traitor Legions DG, AL, maybe NL) can all build stronger lists at 1850, at that point you're taking as many grav kataphrons as you can without gimping the rest of your list and praying that your opponents fail their cover saves.

If you're not playing against tournament-grade lists you won't need a War Convo to have good games, even if (gasp) you don't win all the time, just take lots of models and don't be upset when they die. If you like the army you'll end up with a War Convo anyway, even if you never play it.

>Just ally for psykers!

That still doesn't mean the faction has psykers. You also didn't really respond to any of his comparisons with anything more than a NUH UH. They are both long range shooty tech people with monstrous creature robots and an infamous formation. There's a fair bit of similarity.

Also

>>50907279
Yeah that's my exact point. War Convocation is kind of all we got at the high end point scale. Before then it's A-OK. Anything goes.
>>
>>50907239
yeah I run war convo and its kinda not that fun after the first 2-3 games
>2 melee knights with 2 turns of shrouded is good
>>
>>50907297
Their CC weapons are rending at-init during the first turn of combat, and ap2 at-init during the 2nd or later. The theory is that they would chew through terminators on turn 2+. The practice is that terminators will kill so many of them that you either win on turn 1, or don't have the attacks to take them out after.

>>50907278
It's worth doing, and it's not like it's not costing him in other areas/against other people. Unless you two are the only ones who play each other, at which point he's just started an arms race.
>>
>>50907297
You can deliver a truckload ap2 insta wound on 6s in the first turn, and all of them in subsequent rounds.

Then the ruststalkers die because they're made of paper. But in my experience they usually kamikaze the termies fast. Infiltrators are miles better
>>
>>50906094
Oh god gold is THE colour that exemplifies the concept of thin your paints
>>
>>50907297
Ruststalkers and Termies will wipe each other out by the second round of combat, power fists or lightning claws will rape the 'Stalkers and the 'Stalkers rending turn one, AP2 turn two will rape the termies. It's mutually assured destruction.

>>50907229
Ruststalkers kill anything (anything!) that can't bypass their armor and FnP. Any infantry squad that's not specifically kitted out for CC will die, any dedicated CC unit will eat the 'Stalkers, that's how it goes. Tacticals, Guardsmen, etc, etc, any and all random scrubs are toast, 4+/5++ 2W is durable if they have no way around your saves.
>>
How are skitarii considered mobile?
>>
So in contrast to the War Convocation, how good is the Cohort Mechanicus or whatever that second huge AdMec formation is called in comparison? It's obviously worse, because 'lol free wargear' but it must have SOME niche, right?

I much prefer the units used in the Cohort visually and would prefe to use it if there is any chance that it might work.

The admech do have psyker, they are mentioned in the heart of rage short story were an magos biologist try to hijack a Tyranid hive ship, they currently don't have this because at the moment both admech books are more akin to harlequins, they aren't made for stand alone forces but as allies for other armies, so fuck of bitch.
>Also
>>Admech are more mobile than Tau
>Nigga you iz a ridiculous little bitch.
Yes they're more mobile, the chicken robots are super fast along with rustalkers and the other stalker unit, lastly all of them are relentless and can move forward and shoot without problems, the Tau monster walkers can but remain stationary because they're faggots.
>>
>>50907438

We have a Kill Team thread up.

But aren't company command HQ?

Bikes are great in KT, though. Higher toughness is great and their mobility is excellent. They can be expensive, so can suffer from boys vs. toys, but I think an all-bike team is a feasible option.

Cohort Cybernetica is meme-tier, you'll never die to shooting but you'll also never win on objectives. Wulfen, Nurgle Daemons, and Crimson Slaughter Possessed (not memeing, honest, in the formation where they get all their buffs if they're in combat) will straight-up beat you, and so will anything else that hits before you and ignores your armor. Take Elimination Maniple instead.

I mean, it depends how many people you all play. If it's just you two playing different armies here and there, it's hard not to tailor the list against that army. I can see why it would be annoying, and that's why I often make all rounder lists so that I'm not ready to stomp anyone specifically and no one can call me out that I tailored my list to shit on theirs. It's hard to get someone to get into that mindset if their mindset is basically "well I know what anon is going to play so I'm going to make a list based on that".

Do you do that with whatever army he is playing?
>>
>>50907444
tau have jet pack moves
tau have access to deep strike
tau has enough range where mobility doesnt matter
tau has a wall that moves forward with units (broadsides) on it and cover saves of 6 from it cause a hit on the shooting unit

rust stalkers are fast, but you have to constantly hide them and they are a waste of points
infiltrators can infiltrate so thats mobile, I'll give you that
dunestriders are fast sure, but can you really bitch about such a cool unit?
rangers have move through cover, but are very outclassed by vanguard and are more fit for camping in cover anyway

I was told often enough that Icarus array is abour the only way to go for a lone Dunecrawler, and that it'd be wise to give him IWND so he can actually do his job without dying. I suppose that's factoring in the whole 'I'm against flyers' part though.

Manipulator is a trap upgrade, it's only a 1/3 chance to heal a single hull point and it can't fix weapon destroyed results, it's only worth it in War Convo, because then it's free. Whether you need the Icarus Array depends on your local meta.

You can trim another 20 points by dropping the Serpentas on the chickens, you already have a ton of Luminagen in that list because of Elim. Maniple. If you cut the Rangers out you could field another 2 chickens, since you'd have 100 points to spare.

If you don't want to field 4 dragoons, shaving the conversion field off the Infiltrator Princeps would free up 110 pts total, which you could spend on a Techpriest Dominus, meaning you could field the Onager and a squad of Vanguard with him in a Dominus Maniple and still legally field everything else as well.

>>
>>50908241

Damn near every Aspect Shrine has mixed genders in their ranks. Probably because they're aliens and don't have as much gender dimorphism as humans. Not like you can tell much underneath Aspect Armor. Fuck, there's even scant mention of Eldar male Howling Banshees, even though that Shrine is very much matriarchal.

>>50908277

Howling Banshees are explicitly female dominated, but there's the passing mention that dudes can be let in. I mean, they just need to scream and violently hack things apart and they have the job.

Since I'm getting into Orks, are there any good books about them? I wanna read some stories of them looting and fighting their way through the galaxy.

Also, how did these crazy fuckers work in tabletop and how willing would people be to let me run them as something or take them as a unit if I could dig up the rules for them?

>>50908426

I am just starting with 40k and chose Space Marines because I thought they'd be cool and I guess new players beginning with SM is so common it's become a meme

Anyway I kinda wish I would have gone with Orks instead because they look like they would be fun as fuck to paint and even more fun as fuck to model. Find an old Space Marine vehicle on ebay? Slap a bunch of shit on it and Ork it up. Find an Ork Trukk or Battle Wagon with a bunch of shit slapped on it? Slap some more shit on it and Ork it up even more. If your gaming group aren't a bunch of Nazis about "plays as" stuff you can pretty much find any model that fits 22mm heroic and give it the Mad Max treatment and run it as an Ork vehicle. Let your imagination go wild, my friend.

Only downside is that I hear they're not very good during the actual game part of 40K, so you'll likely get stomped a lot, so if you're a highly competitive WAACfag or whatever you're likely gonna have a bad time playing Orks.

Does anyone know if Straken gives his buffs while inside a Chimera?
>>
>>50908482
My group is pretty lax about most shit. They play WYSIWYG a lot, though. They do tend to play more for the fun and narrative of it all instead of playing to stomp people into the ground. though.
>>
>>50908494

I think some, but not all. Not sure about his 6" buff, but I think he and his Squad have Relentless even when in the Chimera, which lets them fire Heavy weapons out of the Chimera's Fire Points without penalty. Fearless is a non-issue because models embarked on a Transport are Fearless anyway. He would probably need to be a physical model on the field for his 6" aura to work.

Very few books written from the perspective of Orks, which is a shame because there's a pile of potential there. Best I've read is actually a graphic novel called Deff Skwadron. It's what this classic image is from.

Aside from that I think there was a short story called Engine of Destruction or something like that which told the story of an orkanaut pilot but I've never read it.

That picture sums up just why I picked Orks.

You are both retarded as fuck, and here's why:

Youtube and Twitch are both self supporting free platforms. No content is charged on Youtube and content on Twitch is generally free for 99% of channels. These mediums still make amazing amounts of money for the broadcasters and personalities.

Websites like Youtube would FAIL in a split second if they started charging for content on channels videos. It would be the biggest mistake they could ever make.

If GamesWorkshop actually understood how public relations and having a name for your company actually worked they would realise that doing "cunt" actions to the few people who maybe can't watch their Twitch stream in prime time is not such a great idea.

But sincerely, people as stupid as you work for them. And people like you are the reason they fucked up the last 10 years.

Read the Badab wars (Mega in the OP has a PDF), I am pretty sure they have some bits and bobs in there, due to the fact that they are a FW faction.

Also check this dude's Carcharadon's out! They are amazing.

I'd love to talk about 40k but I've got nothing to say.

I've had no games recently and I've already posted the army I'm currently building 1000 times.
>playing a BA army without death company
But I want more tactical marines in razorbacks.

Latest changes to the list I was thinking of changing the plasma guns to more metlas and dropping the two melta bombs to save 15 points so I can buy a second inferno pistol on the drop pod squad.
>>
Holy fuck choosing a new army is retarded as fuck..

Like why the fuck are there so many codex that only have like 5 choices, and some don't even have HQ choices..

I dont understand this at all. i havent played in many years but this makes zero sense to me. I wanted to pick one of these new armies but they all look half assed.. Nothing like the other main ones Tau / Orks / Space Marines etc
>>
>>50909668
It's all about formations now Fampai

For what it's worth I agree to a point, though more options to make a fluffy army of your choice, or enhance your current army with allies isn't a bad thing
>>
>>50909689
I actually cant even make up my mind because it's so daunting to the fact that I probably need to buy like 3 different codex
>>
>>50909668
>Like why the fuck are there so many codex that only have like 5 choices, and some don't even have HQ choices..
Those are designed to be allies.
>>
>>50908873
Be the change you want in the world! Buy the epub and put it in the mega
>>
>>50909689
Okay so let me get this straight:

ONce I fulfill a formation I can add anything else from the faction to it?

Do Harlequins and Eldar come from the same faction? How do I figure out if something is the same faction?
>>
>>50909874
no, you can only add that which is described in the formation datasheet.
ie;
1-3 HQ
1-3 units of Blabla
0-6 units of Blu Blu
1 Spyder
>>
>>50909921
Oh right so in some circumstances the only way to field a specific unit is to fill the only formation its in?

(or run an entire free form list)
>>
>>50909987
Yeah and it causes some retarded situations admittedly. Think Khorne Daemonkin, their core formation requires you to take a unit of possessed. Well they're fucking garbage, no doubt about it, but you need them for the formation. They're a tax unit you must have. It's a clever way for GW to make you buy models with shit rules. The CAD (combined arms detachment) is the old 1 HQ 2 troops formation that you're probably used to, and there is no reason not to use it instead of anything else, as most formation bonuses aren't even that good.
>>
>>50909874
Not really, in a battle forged army, every unit must be a part of a formation. So once you have your core formation, which is known as your primary detachment, you can then add other formations to your army, but not just random models or units. Everything in a battle forged army must be part of a formation. What army do you play? It will be easier to give examples that are meaningful to you that way.
>>
>>50909987
The CAD lets you take any unit in your army but only a certain number of units for each organisational slot (HQ; Troops, Elites, Fast attack, Heavy Support).

Formation gives you a reward for only taking specific units in certain combinations, often with restriction of wargear and demands to numbers of models ect.
>>
>>50910102
This
It's a choice between freedom of building your army with the units you want, or having special formation rules that typically aren't worth it. Unless of course you're one of the few factions with a formation that has rules that are blatantly busted to fuck and designed to rip your wallet in half. Space marines who take two battle demi companies form a battle company, and then make take all of their transports for free. For free. IN POINTS MAYBE, HAVE FUN SPENDING $300 ON METAL BOXES. It can end up being like 500 points worth of free models on the board in some 1850 games, which is completely busted. Most armies don't have a busted formation like this though, and the CAD is best formation by far.

GW really thinks they are clever.
>>
>>50910100
Im trying to choose an army, but the ones I was interested in, like Harlequins or Militarum Tempestus seem to just be lack lustre on choices.
>>
>>50910135
Those are really more expansions to existing armies though, to be used like allies. They can be a standalone army though. Tempestus army would make you That Guy though when you use 15 Vendettas.
>>
>>50910132
War convocations give you 700 points worth of free wargear.
>>
>>50910153
I have no idea what that means, but I love the Scion models they look like some Nazi thing straight out of Hellboy :D
>>
>>50910162
It means if you bring 15 or so flying gunship transports in a game (which is what tempestus is all about) most people will not like you.
>>
>>50910159
Are you serious? Warhammer 40k: Age of That Guy.
>>
>>50910132
Of the formations that are better than a CAD:

Demi company into battle company
Chaos warband and some legion decurions
Realspace raiders
Daemonic incursion
War convocation
Subterranean uprising
>>
>>50910202
How is realspace raiders better than a CAD with all of those tax units?
