Posted in the last thread, as its dying, so what ever:

2000 points of alpha legion with a iron warrior CAD , the terminators get to run around with the mindveils, whilst the soc throws out heritek spells and, using the Cranium Mavolosum to pop tanks
>>
I saw on some forums that people were discussing the use of forgeworld models in gw formations, as a tau player, I was curious as they mentioned that forgeworld allowed for the following substitutions:
XV104 for xv109
Storm surge for xv107
Tetras for piranha
There was one or two more I forgot xv9 for xv8 bodyguards.
Anyone know of this is true and/or supply a link or screenshot to the email/message from forgeworld.
Also a technical question:
The formation drone net v-x-2-0 states that as long as 2 of the units of drones are still alive, all drones get +1 ballistic skill, does this apply to remora drones?
>>
5th for the 4-Armed-Emperor!

>>50968989
Dimensional key is kinda shit, whats your plan here?
>>
>>50969005
Do remoras have the unit type X (drone)?
>>
>>50968989
>>50969015
Ignore dimensional key, its a stand-in for seigebreaker mace. S+2 mastercrafted.
>>
>>50969005
if a formation requires a specific unit, you can't replace that unit for a forgeworld alternative because the FW model is an entirely different unit
>>
>>50968989
Love it. Few questions - why not daemon of tzeench or nurgle on your prince? They would be more durable. Is dimension key really so useful for your army? The turrets are cool and work with iron warriors fluff and rules, but how will you avoid them being baited due to automated fire? What purpose do the 2 bolter holding chaos marine squads have? Why not just take it all in a cad and avoid them and the terminators and maybe the raptors and take obliter-troops and then a bunch of decent units like havocs and bikers and rapier batteries etc?

Also, where can i get a pdf or something of the lost patrol rules and tiles etc? I want to play it with my kid.

They were saying that FW stated that you are able to substitute gw units for FW units and provided a list (I mentioned most of them) that stated what you could swap for what, I'm not arguing to swap something because I feel like it but because someone claimed FW stated that this was the case.

I don't know about that. Sounds like BS.

>>50969035
I like it, but the bits are going to clash with the detail of the model itself because they're smooth rather than textured.

In the faction with a total of 3 vehicles over 2 codices (2 are just the same with different loadouts)

And where another has a native 5+ cover.

I mean...it's not terrible, but it's really situational.

Dark eldar are the drunk hobos of the 40k universe.
- Got addicted to some crazy drugs when they were on top of the world, now they need even wierder drugs(pain), just to get through the day.
- No one cares about them, except when they show up in your nice neighborhood, and even then they mostly just break in a few place, might steal some cheap shit, but as soon as they hear the cops they flee as the vermin they are.
- Fight with glass-bottles and their clothes are stiches together with things they have found.
- They live in a small community under a dark bridge, no one likes eachother and they might kill each other over a pack of ciggerates.
- Their family know they are still alive, but would rather that they didn't show up to family reunions.

I'm pretty sure that you can do that in the form of the Lost and the Damned. Their rules are published by forgeworld so you'll have to buy their books online (or pirate it from the OP) and some places are super sensitive about forgeworld and ban it, but it's something.

Not super familiar with tourney lists, but units that are largely better than their codex equivalents are a lot more than that:

Rapier Laser Destroyers
Plague Zombies
Artillery Carriages
Chaos Fire Raptor
Sicarian, traitor and loyal
Spartan, traitor and loyal
Zhadsnark (or whatever his name is)

Make a hopefully decent and simultaneously fluffy list and army for the Thousand Sons, clean up my Culexus once my friend I lent some paints to returns my paints, finish my remaining Necron models before I get more things, and finish my remaining Scion models.

In that case run them as Raptors and infiltrate 10 man squads with Heavy 1 Rending bolters.

Heavy weapons that are snapfired on the move. So a 5/6 chance of doing nothing at all. Those sorts of odds, you have to basically say they're a waste of points.

Friends, I have a few questions.
I'm trying to wreck a local tau waac faggots shit in as wolves. If I have a bunch of wulfen in a stormfang, can they run and charge the turn they disembark? If I arrive from outflank, can I charge in the same turn? What are some good formations to shit on this kid?

Not if they arrived from reserves, but yes to after disembarking otherwise.

You could be a huge faggot and run a TWC deathstar, spam Wulfen with hammers and shields, use that one drop pod formation where you get them all free.

"He who fights WAACfags should see to it that he does not become a WAACfag."

Eh, I don't want to be too much of a waac fag, but this guy is actually a cheater and the only way to get him to not fudge his god damn points is to make him write down a list.

Isn't pure deathwing is auto-lose since you can't get on the table turn 1?

That's not how it works. The only way to get someone to stop cheating is to stop playing them.

It's to prevent people doing exactly the thing you want to do; holding your entire army in reserve turn 1 to prevent getting shot at, then deep striking right next to your enemy and wrecking them.

beyond your knight, EVERYTHING in your army is crying out to be slapped by a wyvn squad or two. scatbikes will DISMANTLE your dogs, which leave your lose band of characters exposed.

the errant is significantly less good than the paladin.

your DP might have a 2+ re-rollable, but he STILL only have a 4++ jink vs ap 2.

you have 36 obsec bodies, which are T3 with a 6+, who will die like bitches, so you cant even cap objectives

thats just at a quick glance

So im deciding to start a Chaos Space marines force for the new fall of Cadia campaign.

Just started off with a box of chaos space marines (the store i was at had everything for 20% off heading back there today to pick up paints)

Anyway I can't decide what to build my squad with, Should I just go plasma? Are heavy bolsters okay? Im building night lords and want to have a list thats somewhat fluffy and fun to play,

So I recently learned that Codex: Genestealer Cults was released in October.

I'm a huge genestealer fan, but I am a bit disappointed in how GW tries too hard to make the cults evil. The cults exist solely to prepare planets to be eaten but believe they are being whisked away to heaven. That's scary enough. But GW adds in nonsense about the cultists merely being mind controlled and chickening out at the end, which makes no sense to me.

I like to portray gs cults as Christianity. They endorse family values and believe Jesus will arrive to usher the Apocalypse. Everyone is indoctrined into being nice people who await the Rapture. Yes this is insane, but this is what Christians believe and adding in stealers as a literal religion virus straight out of Richard Dawkin's nightmares doesn't change that. It also helps that the Imperium is horrible to the point where being eaten first sounds attractive.

What does anyone else think?

The nice stealer cult was actually good idea. I'm surprise about that, Imperium wise? Odd looking humans that work hard and loyal is more than ok.

I didn't really like it either, but I kind of always went the other way from you. That they were so mind-controlled and indoctrinated that by the end they were just another tool of the Hive Mind, that there would be no chickening out because, as the Shadow in the Warp descended upon them, they would be about as individualistic as Termagants.

I think the reasoning for it, though, is to explain why they'd be fighting Tyranids on the tabletop.

Because then we'd have a god number we could reasonably use as unit/model numbers. You see, restricting the Thousand Sons Decurion Special Rules to only function when they have 9 units of Rubrics and making An'ggrath and the Lord of Skulls 888 points is FUN* and FLUFFY*.

sicarians and spartans require a relic slot and for chaos that's 100 point (fully tooled predator) investment, in most cases it'd be points wise pound foolish to buy 3 preds given 2 preds = same price as a sic. loose some points gain tank hunter or something.
>spartan
that thing is not fucking cheap on points, can't be flare shielded and i would love to introduce to my kataphron.
I don't know how someone could make it competitive, it's a 400 point investment for chaos, it might be less if you play loyalists i don't know hte price of the MoF.
takes up two slots (1 hq, 1 hs) has effecitvely 4 twinlinked ordinance las-cannons and a heavy bolter.

>Yes this is insane, but this is what Christians believe
I'm not sure you grasp what Christians believe, a lot of Christianity was altered by Paul of tarsus to appeal to the urban masses with a heavy emphasis on Platonism and stoicism.
It is not to await the end of days (I believe Muslims have a greater want for that since only martyrs get into even before the rapture) but to do right in your life and pass on from the world of corruption physical objects and into the realm of god.
>What does anyone else think?
I've always seen them as mobsters, given they used to roll around in limos, owned must unions, had a big family focus and the old patriarch always had a big mobster like look on him, with gold chains and shit decorating his body.
if you want to go religious, go with Islam or American cults. it fits the theme better.

I wouldn't run any of that shit until they actually know how to play the game, start each of your friends out with a basic squad, just what comes in SC boxes outfitted absolutely default, no upgrades, and play with them to teach them. There is already so much to get a grasp of your first game that they really don't need all that extra shit bogging them down.

>>50971415
No, it poetic.

The Templar were the first marine chapter Abaddon and co met in the First Black Crusade. The Templar were led by the Emperor's Champion Sigs.

Now at the final Black Crusade and at the end of days, the Black Templar are once again the first wall that Abaddon and his legions must crash against. Once again they are led by a Champion of the Emperor however with a vagina this time.

It's fitting.

Right now I'm working on some Conscripts and Veterans with Carapace. I have a lot of left over beret heads from the Scion box, so I'm putting those heads on marine scout shotgunners to count as Veterans with Carapace and shotties. There's even a weird demo charge looking pair of arms in the Scion box that doesn't look like an upgrade they can take. So that will be my demo charge for the vets.

Speaking of rhyming.

Abaddon duelled Sigs in the 1st Black Crusade. The Champion of Chaos vs the Champion of Da Emprah. Abaddon destroyed him.

Celestine like her predecessor must confront the Arch-Enemy in a total ANIIIIME fight. Will Celestine succeed where Sigs failed and defeat Abaddon?

In the WD game, Celestine wrecks the shit out of Abby. Admittedly he fucks himself up a fair bit, but that's the risk you pay in return for getting to use a Daemon weapon
>>
>>50971323
switch out nurglings for plague bearers, they can infiltrate and actually get into combat to tie up the enemy then give your herald of N a nice big unit of 15. saves you points.

3 screamers aren't much of a threat (they can eat some tau well enough though), but you're probably gonna summon up more. i would drop the portalglyph for another level

She doesn't, unless Fall of Cadia gave it to her in new rules/a formation. She also has a S6 AP3 sword so wounds Abby on 3s while allowing his armor save. Her I7 doesn't mean shit, he would fucking destroy her unless he rolled really bad or, like in the batrep, got a 1 for his daemon weapon.

>>50968957

Alright 40k guys, I have a question I would like to ask;

What gets your goat?

I have a friend that I tend to banter with, and one of the things he is very sensitive about is 40K. he is both overly defensive of it, and does not accept that I simply don't have that great of an interest in this over my other hobbies.

I do know a bit more than the average joe about this stuff, but he tends to dismiss the majority of my arguments and jabs with "oh, you just need to read *all* the fluff, then you'll like it"

I was mostly wondering if there are more "in" things that I can use to poke at him, since he hasn't realized that I do it just to mess with him and bait reactions out of him.

The last time someone fielded Celestine against me she died to a krak grenade on overwatch.

>>50971871
I think Drones look cool but I'm not sure what niche they fill in an army, or if it's OK to just have one, because I think I've heard you're really supposed to have atleast two if that's what you want, otherwise you should get a Heldrake or something.

Again, I'm just getting started in 40k.

Yeah, I see that, but I think it's also a recast.. also I easily hit 1k points with what I already have, so I didnt know if I should pick it up still because adding it I'll have to remove a unit of plague marines from my list and not use my dreadnought
>>
Were the four battleforces Limited release?
>>
>>50971870
well considering a new blight drone is well over x3 that price, that is a good price for one

as for are they worth it, they are a flyer with a battle cannon for a face and iirc poisoned heavy flamer. the AV is shit but they're around 150 points, I remember I had one a few years ago and it's basically just a bootleg heldrake with less punch and survivability for 20 less points. nothing amazing but it's not arvus lighter level bad or anything

"Witness me," "Witnessed!" is a reference to Mad Max: Fury Road. In the film, the "Disposable Bad Guys" had a sort of Odinistic/Valhallan cult: Performing a spectacular feat would guarantee a place of honor at a table in the afterlife, or some such.

In order for it to be a spectacle, though, it has to be seen. "Mediocre," is one possible response to a witnessing, and is not a response one wants to receive.

You're gonna spend a shitload of time assembling and painting your first army, so while some people read up on the meta and buy what's "good" the actual best thing to do is check out the GW website or walk into a store and just look at armies. See what you think looks awesome, who has the coolest looking vehicles or models and just buy that.

Orks and especially IG aren't the greatest armies for new people because they're mainly swarm based so you'll need to buy (and paint) a shitload of stuff to form a decent sized army, but if you like them don't let that stop you.

Most people start with Space Marines. They're a good all-around army and their stuff has a lot of flat surfaces so they're not that hard to paint. Space Marines also have a shitload of different chapters with different rules, as well as Chaos Space Marines, so you can get a bunch of different playstyles out of the same units which might be beneficial to a beginner.

A solid bet is to just grab whichever Start Collecting box looks cool. You'll get a small but fully legal and fieldable army and can play some learning games using it.

And the most important advice of all: have fun fag

So the idea is uses Kurov's Aquila to give preferred enemy to CCS, a 50-man platoon, and a veteran squad plus 2 chimeras. 9 plasma rifles benefitting from PE.

Drop the 50-man platoon behind a defense line, put priest, 3x psykers in there to make use of prescience, forewarning, and/or misfortune on top of orders for insane 120-shot twin-linked rending volleys of lasgun fire. Priest to make them fearless and add hymns in a pinch.

The knight's job is to take out heavy armor like land raiders or other super heavies.

Vendetta has a scoring unit inside for more mobility, it and the quad gun, icarus autocannon for anti-air / anti-skimmer.

Two wyverns for medium range, cost-effective wounding on infantry units.

Meltaguns scattered throughout for backup close-range AT.

Thoughts?

>>50972828
I like it, but instead of Plasma Guns for the Infantry Squads, I'd go for Autocannons and Flamers/Grenade Launchers. Having 5 Flamers that can do Wall of Death for anyone charging is nice.

One thing I am not sure about. It's something I wondered about for any unit in a Chimera giving out buffs. I don't think the Aquila can give out the Preferred Enemy special rule if the guy is in the Chimera, since he's ruled as being off the table while in a transport. If that is the case, you might want to give them longer range weapons and camo cloaks. Maybe a Master of Ordnance too so you can split fire that unit and have him fire at a different target. Astropath could be nice addition to that squad as well if you roll Invisibility or Shrouding.

The issue is that there are two different meanings of end times. The first, which is the one meant by /tg/, is destroying the setting like WHFB end times. The second, which is what GW means, is advancing the setting's time of ending from five minutes till midnight to one minute to midnight.

So since the new Archmagos seems like he'll be decent, who's going to get him? I know I will, if one of my friends will buy the Sisters off me since I have no use for them.

Was also thinking about converting him with a few subtle Chaos and Necron bitz, and obviously a different top half, into Anacharis Scoria for 30k.
>>
>>50973172

The rulebook implies that aura effects still work while embarked when it says that if you must measure to a model that is embarked, you measure to the vehicle instead.

The plasma guns are spammed in hte list because preferred enemy severely reduces the chance of overheats by allowing the 1s to hit to be rerolled, and also the guns will almost always wound.
>>
>>50975206
I'll be getting two probably, one for Scoria since my current count-as model is not all that pretty.
