Chaos player is deploying a defiler like this. This shit legal?

>>50942298
Well the model doesn't have a base, is it actually specified anywhere that it needs to stand on it's "feet"?

Good luck actually firing any of those weapons though (i'm fairly sure the defiler's battlecannon isn't barrage).

It does not

>>50942298
>defiler going all king kong climbing up the side of a building
No idea if it's legal but it's cool as fuck.

>wobbly model syndrome

You can abuse that rule so bad.

>>50942298

Who the fuck cares, that Defiler isn't doing shit all like that.

>>50942298
>it's bitsy defiler went up the building's side.

I don't care if its legal or not I'd allow it.

Make a table rule that once the enemy becomes aware of where it is, they can make some appropriate rolls/attacks at the building, and if they succeed, the defiler falls off and takes an appropriate damage check.

Rule of Cool says it's fine. Frankly the idea of one of these scuttling up the side of a hive is terrifying and I love it.

These.

>>50942298
Yes, but if it falls off it should take a strength 10 hit.

well it gives you an advantage as all of his LoS weapons are basically useless now in exchange for a cover save he would've had if he delpoyed normally.

plus rule of cool overrules

It might not be strictly within the rules, but if you want to deploy your entire army in an area the size of a single ordinance template I certainly wouldn't stop you.

>>50943842
>>50944042
That's... that's not what concentrated fire mean!

>>50942298
If you forbid such a thing then you've lost all contact with your inner child; it's cool as fuck. And it doesn't provide any meaningful advantage to the Chaos player.

>>50943979
>Bob Mor'an?
I like you, a lot.

The Yellow Shadow would make an awesome Ethereal antagonist in a BL novel, tho.

Absolutely. And if you're firing the battle cannon indirectly, on a 6+ the building collapses. This increases to a 5+, etc. every time you fire it.

>>50942298
The only spot of colour in that entire pic is the coke bottle, ugh.

True that.

I have a shit-load of just plain-jane Chaos Marines to test color schemes and get better at painting, then only paint my Noise Marines, Chosen, and Raptors when I feel I've worked the techniques up to a decent standard.

Battle cannons haven't be indirect since they removed guessing from the weapons in 4th ed.

>>50943842
im perfectly fine with this.

>>50948653
the basilisk still has indirect fire I think, battle tanks can't do it is all.

>>50948653
Huh, don't think I've ever seen a beaky tank driver before

>>50949636

The earthshaker cannon has always been indirect fire.

>>50947339
>battle cannons don't fire indirectly

Defiler ones used to have that ability. But why would CSM get anything nice?

>>50949772
Not automatically. In the past it was an upgrade you bought it. Otherwise the cannon was direct fire.

That is an amusing piece of fluff.

>>50942298

No, that's illegal because 40k must be played horizontally. All measurements are on the Y axis, so if you play on the wall like that you would measure your shots horizontally and off the gaming area.

>>50950458
That's a fun rule you pulled out of your ass. What else is up there?

>>50950345
Ironically in terms of game mechanics they'd get some ridiculous save and most of them would actually survive the strike.

The IG answer to every problem should always be "Cover it in fire that ignores your shit."

If they can't respond to any threat that way, then IG has lost it's purpose.

>>50942380
This
>>50953046
But its grants cover and can be used to hide this motherficker.
