Everything should be bare bones basically. Sponsons are worth it for every Leman Russ except the ones with Ordnance weapons as their turret weapon. But try to keep them bare bones until you got all the tanks you need, then start adding sponsons.

Vets should just be Chimera with Multi-Laser, Heavy Flamer and Vet squad should be minimum 2 of the same special gun, since that's all that can fire out of the hatch. It can be good to take 3 guns in case you disembark to shoot something, but most of the time you don't want to get out of the Chimera, and if you have to, that unit is likely dead next turn. I'd recommend going 2 plasma or 2 melta to not waste their BS. If you want, load up on 3 of the same weapon, or 2 of the same and a back up Flamer. That can be nice if you have to thin a hoard. I would personally start with 2 of either melta or plasma, and then at the end see if you have the points to make them 3.

Command Squads are pretty good units for riding in Vendettas if you keep them in reserve. Otherwise you can do Vets in a Valkyrie.

Taurox Primes are really good and you can just deep strike the squad itself while having the Taurox Prime on the table. Taurox Prime Missile Launcher plus Twin-Linked Autocannon gives you a nice 100 point anti-light vehicle unit.

I actually have run something similar. Honestly, running a minimum BSS to get the command benefits and then running everything else in a cad is the best way to go. Maximize OBsec (and frag cannons do not have trouble wounding).

Meltas or Plasma work for CCS. If you do take a CCS, I'd recommend taking the Emperor's Wrath formation. If you're not sure what that is, it's in the picture. Giving the formation vehicles orders is pretty sweet. I'd go with that plus a CAD of Vets and Pask Commander. And whatever else you have that you want to put in.

The thread is a bit different than the vector thread; in that the purpose is to recreate the character but in some sort of simplified maner. Typically by reducing the number of colors, removing riples and shading, and the details of the face. Some like the less detail, others like it for hiding power levels.

The warhammer stuff is probably a result of it being extrapolated too far; where the person still removes the facial details because of precedent, but is such a fan of warhammer that he still wants to do all the details.

FW IS GW, any GW manager that triest to stop you from palying FW in their store is going against company policy.

In your FLGS it's up to the manager but no FLGS manager should be so autistic as to try to enforce GW's mentality in their 40k games while (hopefully) running all sorts of other games simultaneously.

The deathstrike missiles are either conventional nukers or vortex depending on the warhead iirc.
>>
>>
>>50945759
The Imperium doesn't generally consider nuclear weaponry as we know it worth the risks of using. If they want to fuck a planet, they have Exterminatus munitions, and if they want to actually keep a hold of the land they would be conquering they don't want it to be awash with fallout.

That said, I'm pretty sure nukes were using in the Krieg civil war because it was at that time that the planet became the radioactive hellhole it is today.

>>50945575
The best Russ is generally the Eradicator since the ignores cover makes it murder on lightly armored enemies and the fact that it's not Ordnance means you can fully use the hull and sponson weapons. It's also cheap. So an Eradicator with HB sponsons ends up cheaper than some of the variants bare.

The Vanquisher with Las is pretty mediocre at BS3, but I guess it arguably has a role. As for the LRBT, GSC have so much rending that I think specifically taking a more expensive weapon with hefty downsides just to deal with power armor while being weaker against everyone else is a bad idea.

more likely they don't need to consider nukes because their basic munitions do the same job, cleanly

Melta-torpedoes, macrobatteries, high-yield lance batteries.. they have the function and damage of nukes but without the fallout. No point in busting out nukes unless you're backwards country hick PDF bumpkins, like krieg during its civil war.

I see now. You care more about winning than actually playing the game.

You're the type of person who would be utterly crushed if you lost a game because of random turn order. The randomness would ruin all of your carefully laid plans and list building. All of it dashed because your opponent happened to roll higher and went first.

Your mentality is so clear now. The game is only fun if you're winning and you can only be assured of victory if you can eliminate all, or most, randomness from the game.

You probably whine about 2d6 charge distance in 40k don't you? Assuming you aren't already playing Tau or Eldar and therefore don't even bother with charging.

>The randomness would ruin all of your carefully laid plans and list building. All of it dashed because your opponent happened to roll higher and went first.

More weird-ass assumptions.

>Your mentality is so clear now. The game is only fun if you're winning and you can only be assured of victory if you can eliminate all, or most, randomness from the game.

Close games are the most fun games. Drastic swings that have nothing to do with either player's actions are a purely negative element unless all you want from the game is to laugh at the crazy shit that happens.

>You probably whine about 2d6 charge distance in 40k don't you? Assuming you aren't already playing Tau or Eldar and therefore don't even bother with charging.

And now you're just throwing in random hot-button buzzwords to try to provoke a reaction.

I've finally articulated why Nurgle CSM HQs are underwhelming.

They're no better at their USP than the guys under their command.

Khornate lords are amazing in melee. Tzeentch sorcerors can go up to psyker level 3. Slaaneshi lords can go to I6 and strike before most things in the game.

Nurgle Lords are...T5, just like everything else in the army.

They just feel like more of a tax than the other gods' HQs.

You're stupid then. It's far easier to inspect open source code or certifications by third parties of a program's fairness, than it is to inspect every one of the hundreds of dice required for a 40k game.

Good points, to add to this, if you are going with plasma, take 3, because one will inevitably melt his face off. Command squads in chims are nice because orders are key with a vet army (ignore cover rapid fire plasma is great)

Leave sergeants barebones, except maybe a bolter if you want that 24 inch range. Voxes are also nice, but the cadia book gives you an artifact that lets you get orders off on everything but 12s which is good too.

You cannot issue an order to an embarked unit, so orders are actually fairly useless if you're going full mechvet.

>>50946611
Nurgle sorcerers have an extremely good lore.

Winged Nurgle DPs have shrouded. Which lets them jink for 2+.

What Nurgle lords (and Sorcs) have competitively is MoN + Bikes on a character. T6, 4++, FNP reroll 1s makes for an extremely tough character immune to strength based instant death, and extremely resilient to AP 2. Plus your Warlord traits almost all just make him tougher.

MoN may be "just" T5, but toughness is an incredibly valuable stat, particularly for characters with how it interacts with instant death.

Logistics demonstrates that there is no such thing as a "sudden" arrival of reinforcements. If they show up by surprise, you have already lost. You might be able to adapt in the moment, and turn a crushing defeat into a minor defeat, or if the opponent is particularly incompetent, a minor victory.

But unless you are on the squad-level, any situation that requires you alter a battle-plan already in motion is probably a bad one.

It's the opposite of netlisty. You aren't using Vectorium or their best units.

Gotta do my acshually bit here:
GorkaMorka orks had revolvers and blunderbusses.
Some of the plastic models had these ugly revolvers too. They'd look comical on human models and especially modern ones but I guess that's to be expected by ~20 year old bits.
There was a blister of grot guns even. Just the guns nothing else.

That aside one of the FW Preator minis had a gun that looked a lot like a sixshooter to me. Don't remember what it was though, one of the 30k weapons.

Marines Malevolent are the ones that fit your description best, they have no problem killing civilians and using excessive ammounts of firepower or killing other astartes for material gain and are borderline renegades at this point as very few organizations will supply them. If a Rogue Trader asked them to do something in exchange for power armor and other supplies they would probably accept out of necessity.

Other asshole chapters are Black Templars, Space Sharks, Flesh Tearers and Iron Hands though none are as shunned by the Imperium as the Marines Malevolent.
>>
>>50947874
>Marines Malevolent, but they're not really brutalistic. Just disregard casualties in light of the objectives being completed.
They were declared renegade because they gave so little of a shit about anything that wasn't wearing power armor even the imperial bureaucracy got moving fast enough that happened before the Chapter disappeared on it's own.
Now they steal the supplies they need.

They are turbo cunts.
The Armageddon supplement had a fluff piece about them describing how the believe that the weak don't deserve to live, i.e. the people they came to assist in the first place.

But that's wrong.
Xenonian Warriors for example are a exclusively female regiment.

Female minis are rarer. You best option is probably Victoria, cause they are multipart kits and intended for building an army and not just being a pin up.

Dont have it handy but short story is he has a Orbital Bombardment with three weapon profiles, if centered on a friendly model it doesnt scatter.

The idea being you have been assaulted in the enemy turn but didnt get run down/lose morale, so in your shooting phase you can drop thay down.

It's fluffy but very situational. Ive seen it used once and it arguably made things worse for karamazovs side. But still fun imo.

Female IG soldiers were always a thing.
Catachans had this weapon specialist and the last chancers/penal legion models had two as well. There even was a female commissar.

So basically you just don't know the setting as well as you'd like to know.

GW also has an all female army of warrior women called sisters of battle and just released the sister of silence.
Not to mention the Inquisitors that were female. I mean short of being a high lord of terra there isn't a more powerful position in the imperium.

Well there are instances of pre heresey armour surfacing in M.4whatever, but in all honesty the "knight" aesthetic just really suits templars.

>>50949200
WE CSM are massively cheaper than Berserkers. To the point that Berserkers are largely obsolete. Plus Warband gives the majority of your army Obsec which is incredibly powerful when you're jamming your opponent in their deployment zone and generally one of the best rules you can have for scenario play.

MoG has nice special rules but they're largely a wash with obsec, and you're paying a hefty tax for them.

I'm a big fan of the BT Crusader helms (like on the EC). Been tempted to knick GK ones just to make the army using only that helmet.

Doesn't really refute mt argument. Sure they have guns, but they're all melee oriented. It's like saying Zerkers are ranged troops because they carry bolt pistols.

Guns are only for closing the gap.

>>50949305
I'd say the Turn1 charge potential +WS5 is very well worth the points, ObSec is nice but I was asking for a fluffy list and sitting on objectives instead of killing your enemies doesn't seem like a very Khornate way to play.

Using the Inquisition PDF one is a buff yes. 10 points less and 5 models can fire from inside it.

The only buff the AM one has over it is that it has the Lasgun Arrays that can count towards weapon destroyed results. Not really worth losing 3 models being able to fire.

I have played a few games and I think I've got my list exactly where I want it at 1500 points. It's casual but it has all the units I enjoy playing and hasn't been as instalose as my old khorne lists. The question now is moving up to 2k points, and what formations can I utilize from the new supplements? With that question in mind, here are some units I might want to add:
>spawn
>plasma chosen
>another 10 man csm squad with plasma in rhino
>defiler
>some variety of helbrute
>maybe another sorcerer

What formations/legion rules can I take to make this better at 1500-2000?

Tabletop Tactics and the Long War are good for competitive 40k and very min-maxed hard hitting list.

Like the other anon said, Winters SEO is good for more casual and narrative reports.

Grim Resolve is more laid back too with beautiful models.

StrikingScorpions82 or I forget the numbers is pretty good too.

You can infiltrate cultists, chosen and chaos marines.

I liked FLG's batreps from when they were still in Martinez and didn't do long form at all.

Are there any good Imperial Guard channels?
>>
>>50950435

Tough to understand your grievance with your English (I don't mean to be rude). I assume you are upset because you ordered some stuff that is out of stock and it is taking a long time to get it or to get a refund?
>>
>>50950535
Nop they where not out of stock when I order them. It doesn't even let you order if they are.
>>
>>50950549

So basically you want a refund?
>>
>>50950485
What do you mean?
>>
>>50950549
Hi, I work for GW on the web side of things. If you give me some more details on what happened and when I can probably refund you right now.
>>
>>50950597
Not him, but this happened to me:
>>50950338

If you are with the web side, could you point me to where I could get that resolved? It's missing 2 of the bases for the Black Knights.
>>
>>50950582
Youtube channels that focus a lot on Guard. There are a good amount of Marine and Eldar channels so I was curious if there was one for Guard.

How did no one mention Minotaurs, their job is literally to be dicks for the High Lord, and love doing it.
>>
>>50950622
Yeah, sure. Can you give me a date and maybe a couple other details to help me find it?
>>
>>50950632
I don't know when it was ordered and whatnot. I received it un-opened as part of a giveaway. If there's nothing that can't be done I think I could scrounge the bases up from my friends or get some off ebay.
>>
>>50950631

Because most people only know what people talk about on /tg/, and people talk about MM and SS more than Minotaurs. Minotaurs were literally said "the most brutal and violent chapter...until the appearance of the SS". Executioners could also qualify.

And they are even more mercenary cut-throat than the others since only the Minotaurs and MM actively aggravate friendly marines just to start fights.
>>
>>50950657
You should have just cooperated. When I find the order, I'm blacklisting your payment info. Good luck with your refund you piece of shit.
>>
>>50950657
Dude, he's not a GW worker, tell him nothing.
>>
>>50950626
Striking Scorpion 82 has some sexy ass Guard armies on pretty regularly. I'd check him out.
>>
>>50950632
Would those "couple other details" happen to include his name, address, e-mail and bank account info?
>>
>>50949171
I meant. Karak Stone.
>>
>>50950086
Jesus, you've never heard of Doomrider have you?
>>
>>50950756
All I wanted was the name of his state and the date of the order so I could find his order in the database... That's all I asked for. Now he's fucked. >>50950677
>>
>>50949976
Isn't he a Jehowa?
>>
>>50950766
sorry if i came off as a little pretentious when i said that. I meant nothing by it other than that i should of actually looked at the paints more than not at all.
>>
>>50950810
Nice beta apologising for no reason.
>>
>>50950838
Eh i wont front about being a alpha

Most ork players hate randumb mechanics like this instead of actual fun random that our codexes haven't seen since fucking third edition.

You're doing it wrong
Beer is also acceptable.

2d6 charge was one of the single most stupid rule changes that only served to nerf and punish assault armies, which were already quite awful due to how powerful shooting is.

You're a fucking tool if you think shallow randomness tackon mechanics is good when there are already plentry of stronger rng elements in the core game. I bet you'd love movement to be random as well, as well as pre-shooting, readying your weapon before you go to fire.

AoS may do some nice things regarding streamlining, but the random turn order is objectivly bad since it gives the opponet an unfair disadvantage if a player goes second then rolls and gains first turn.

Defending your right to take two rounds in a row is more WAAC than taking turns. IgoUgo isn't the best system, but GW will never make 40k nor AoS into a reaction-based game; it's simply too big for it.
>>
>>50950989
What do you think about AOS combat phase? Where units get activated? I think it would help many 40k melee armies e.g. low initiative unit spam, or MSU terminator spam.
>>
>>50950989

I want 6" charging from 5E back. I've failed more charges that rolled under 6" than I've succeed ones that were more than 7" so I'd gladly give up the extra inch for more charges.
>>
>>50945846
If you actually look through the armoured battle group list it's all pretty overpriced.
>>
>>50946488
Never give people advice if you're this shit especially since he already gave MoK on everything.

>>50946471
Not completely, the CSM could use rhinos if you don't use the warband + detachment (and looking at what you took you should really do that since it's basically the same list with a free move).

I would also try to take two lords; one for the move relic, and they other for the Axe of Blind Fury (which is still the best option).

Reduce / replace the raptors to make that happen, and consider MSU with basically army wide obsec.

That should still if a 1000 point list.

If you want to expand take the Gore Pack from the KDK because dogs are still better then spawn in every way that counts
