Is Genecult vs Tau fun? Maximised shooting vs maximised assault?
>>
>>51036099
Not really. Cheap Markerlights and easily available BS buffs means that when playing against Tau, you're being continually hit on a 3+ and killed on a 2+ with no cover or armour saves.

GSC assaults are mostly looking for good rolls on the Cult Ambush table, which means they're coming in from reserve. So either they don't roll a 6, so they take Interceptor fire and then get mopped up by other units as they sit around waiting to charge, or they do roll a 6, and take Interceptor fire then get gutted by multiple units firing Overwatch via Supporting Fire.

Why do people get butthurt when you remind them that 40K is about the Imperium vs Chaos at its core?
>>
>>51036598
Not a restriction in the Terminator Captain Unit Sheet.

I mean, I seriously hope you guys don't do this, but that's not an actual restriction.
>>
>>51036615
Because it isn't. It's a setting with a multitude of races and galactic drama, of which Imperium versus Chaos happens to take center stage more often than not because of both GW's ans the fans' raging homoerections for Space Marines.
>>
>>51036615
Because it's actually about the Imperium (declining Rome) vs Orks (barbarian hordes) at its core.

Went and Iooked through what I have, got 8 space marine bikes, an attack bike, a Iand speeder, a rhino and a squad of death company assauIt marines that badIy need to be stripped.

Don't have many funds (poor uni student) and I'm not super interested in buiIding a super good tournament army, I just want to pIay BIack TempIars (aIways Iiked their aesthetic) but I have a IocaI group of guys I might pIay with sometimes so I stiII want to have a reasonabIe Iist in mind to aim towards when I make purchases.
Any ideas what I shouId be getting? I was thinking of having a not-Jaghatai Khan HQ (got heaps of bits to work with, incIuding some nice Grey Knight spears) to go aIong with the bikes and then some tac marines with rhinos. What eIse?
If it matters, I know one dude pIays Dark AngeIs, there are 2 Tau pIayers and the rest not sure.

While rational people agree with you, the counter-argument is that GW, in their infinite wisdom, didn't say "cataphractii termy armor counts as termy armor. (period)" They put in the effort to list exactly where they wanted it to count as termy armor and not one lick more.

>spend all evening basing till midnight.

At least this guy looks excited about it
>>
>>51036803
You'll need to take an Infantry Platoon, yes. It's not all bad though, because you can neatly field an entire platoon with your 200 points, giving you a taste of how a traditional FOC army is build and plays.
>>
>>51036813
I'm in favour of it being RAW legal- it means me and my buddies can get a few chuckles and if anyone turns up and tries to play it we instantly know who to exclude.
>>
>>51036804
No. The Horus Heresy is many things, and certainly the beginning of the decline (and fall), but "origin story for the entire setting" it is not. Too much happens before it. Too much happens after it. Too much of 40k has nothing to do with it at all.
>>
>>51036819
Alright, thanks. I think I'll play without specialists for the first few games just to avoid confusion

>>51036813
>GW is shit at ruleswriting
Your point? There's clear RAI there, and any autist who actually tried to pull it in real life would just get declined games, or get his ass handed to him by a list that can deal with his third-rate one-man deathstar.
>>
>>51036803
You have to take a platoon but it's alot of bodies for the points. You could also take Veterans by themselves if you want a smaller force with more effective shooting options. You can fit a fully kitted Vet team plus Chimera in under 200
>>
>>51036835
My point is in my post, you dolt.
>>
are "formations" ever employed in actual play or are they all considered cheesy or overpowered or unpractical?
>>
>>51036844
And I'm saying your point is retarded. /tg/ argued the Smashfucker Prime meme long enough before you came along and reposted in an effort to farm (You)s from a slow thread, but, like Triptide in 750 points or multiple Wraithknights, anyone who actually tried to ruleslawyer their way into playing the dude would either not get a game, be told to shut the fuck up and take his cheese to a different store, or get a game with someone who outcheeses him and shuts down his gimmick anyway.

If you're going to be that autistic about it, shoot an email to GW inquiring as to whether it was intended to be legal or not.
>>
>>51036828
Honestly, if someone built, modeled (down to the flail), and painted a smashfucker, I'd play him with no hesitation. Maybe not every time, but I'd consider it a fun little challenge.
>>
>>51036835
I don't think anything can beat that model in cc save maybe one or two monstrous IC's.
With a retinue of stormshield lightning claw vets, apothecary and ML2 libby throwing out a 2+ inv from Sanctuary all with an extra attack from the standard you'd have to dedicate a task force to this unit.
>>
>>51036862
Depends on your meta. Their use is pretty widespread, and personally I think they could be good for the game, it's just that there are a number of them that allow you to spam cheese units or that give you absolutely ridiculous benefits, and they need to go. Fluffy formations that make shit units viable are one thing, but players shouldn't be rewarded with insane buffs for taking decent or good units and spamming the fuck out of them.

If he takes the shield eternal he's stuck with a power sword so he's not threatening at all. Normal smashfucker actually works compared to the RAW cata version.
>>
>>51036930
Can't he still get gorgon?
>>
>>51036812
If you are going for black templars then you should wait for month or two before buying anything big as Templars are getting some lore and/or game stuff in the next expansion of Fall of Cadia. That being said, kill team box gives you a tactical squad and rulebook for cheapish price (and you can sell the fire warrior squad to the tau players if they want them). Start collecting is a nice box if you don't care about being super competitive and the new assault box (drop pod+tac squad) has some nice dollar value.

Bikes with gravguns are the cookie cutter units for marines atm.
>>
>>51036950
Sure, but he can only take one relic, so he has to choose between gorgon's and an ap 2 weapon.
>>
>>51036977
He can take a thunder hammer.
>>
are primers necessary at all or can you just apply gw's citadel shit directly onto the model and be good to go?

As another anon pointed out, smash on a bike relies on cata termy armor not counting as termy armor. However, the thunder hammer also relies on him having termy armor, so you can only have one, not both.
>>
Where are the Fall of Cadia leaks?
>>
>>51037000
The hammer is also a regular melee weapon, it's just more expensive for non-termies. Either way, he can have one, and a lightning claw too for that matter.
>>
>>51037009
He doesn't have access to the melee weapons list.
>>
>>51037009
No he cant, becuase he can ONLY select weapons from the termintor list, which he then cant take anything from
>>
>>51037000
I think what's being argued is that both options are listed so both can be taken, supported by an errata.

I don't know if there's something specific about wargear that I'm missing, but in my experience it has always been that bonuses stack unless stated otherwise - not vice versa. For example, the naval orders from an officer of the fleet, psyker blessings/curses, FNP bonuses, necron Reanimation Protocols, rad grenades, etc.

So diffrent stuff stacks (diffren powers, navle orders), but you cant just cast curse of the leaper 4 times, or charge a unit with 4 rad greneds and just kill them in one go.

That's because that falls under "unless otherwise stated." In the BRB,

>The benefit of any one particular blessing can only be gained once per unit per turn, but benefits from different blessings are cumulative.

Rad grenades stack if separate units with them declare separate charges against the same unit.

>>51037273
They dont, diffrent version of rad grenaes (like the rad fernace, or the rad saturation rulee) do, but as per BRB the same bit of war gear dose not stack

Thats because you remember wrong my friend. Or maybe mix them with psychic powers? They clearly state that blessing/maledictions dont stack with multiple applys of themselves.

Wargear on the otherhand stacks if otherwise stated. A very good example is in fact Rad Grenades. 4x inquisitors with then would cause -4 to enemy toughness and wipe out T4 units in one go. Gnarly, yes but in most formats that limit the amounts of detachment you can take, impossible to wield.

>>51036985
Doesn't need to be a GW primer, but you should definitely start by basing in Black, White or Grey.
Abaddon Black, Ceramite White or Mechanicus Standard grey work for brush base.

There is also Imperial Primer which is a brush base with an adhesive in it to make it slightly better for basing. you can paint this on thin and it doesn't need to be a coherent coat of pure black to do its job.

Anywhere you are doing Cream, White, Red or Yellow should be based with White first.

The other brand sprays are all very good. Army Painter tends to go much further for price compared to Citadel. Haven't tried other brands.

I personally spray Black on first to prime before spraying the base Grey on for my Space Wolves. However for my friend's blood angels, we spray straight to Red for his tacticals.
>>
>>51037336
The most annoying issue is what actually counts as a special rule when it comes to wargear.

1/5 from real powerpoint.

You have two units that drain massive amounts of powerdice but you dont have enough of them. So either Magnus is a glorified daemonprince with extra 350pts cost or seercouncil is 400pts walking unit that is also illegal since all guys need to be either skyrunners or not.

Skip Seercouncil, add powerlevels for Sorcerer, add Eldar Cad with skyrunner farseer, 2x3 scatpacks and a wraithknight.

>>
>>51037578
Umm...no? Without markerlights the ion accelerator becomes a glorified battle cannon and no one is batting an eyelid for 190p battle cannon. With eldar psychic support, doom+heavy bursts can do some real work. Also ion is bad against invisible targets and strictly worse against (flying) monsterous creatures or gargantuan creatures.
It is a great weapon with interceptor to counter marine alpha strikes and the likes but most of the this years ETC tau lists with 4+ riptides usually had majority of them with heavy burst cannons. Also having a stormsurge for ap2 pizza plates and D missiles lowers the value of ion accelerator in general.

Just a list I've been playing about with for a friendly casual doubles game.
I say casual, my ally and one of my opponents will probably cram some pretty tough forge world units in. I had a Dimachaeron dropped on me last time they ran nids.

Rune priests will all be using Tempestus for primaris of Living Lightning (STR 7 Assault 3 with shock - to hit rolls of 6 give 3 hits instead of 1.)

No idea who my ally or one of the opponents is using, but one of the opponents is Blood Angels with a tac squad, some sniper scouts, a few bikes, a couple dreadnoughts, a leviathan and a land raider.

Nah, I really enjoy Magic, Infinity, etc. but those games are designed for the misdirection and in the case of Infinity you pay for it. This is just cheating because it's "fluffy" and using social pressure to normalize it. "Many heads of the Hydra" is an awesome fluffy rule, cheating is not so much. Deployment is open information. At the very least you should be declaring which squad is in which transport at deployment and then hope the opponent fails to keep track of which of your "identical" rhinos are which. That said, if your opponent is fine with it then who cares.

definitely not
the 20% rule for lords of war that 30k has is pretty good measuring stick (your low can't cost more than 20% of your total point costs)
the problem with this list is that any army that doesn't spam AT is gonna lose , any army that does is going to win it doesn't give much leeway , either its a total victory or a crushing defeat
Most people don't find it very fun to play against because of this
>>
>>51037925
Actually, I'm not cheating. There is no rule that requires me to inform my opponent what is in a transport. Obviously the information has to be definite, which is why paper is used to record it.

You have to tell them which "identical" Rhino from your list it is when you deploy it. And since it's a dedicated transport, the corresponding squad is the only one that can be inside.
>>
>>51038009
>you again
Your list is required to note which transport is which squad's DT. and because of that, you have to tell me that when I ask. So, by the process of deduction, I can infer which squad is embarked within each transport, and if you've left any transport empty I can infer that from the whereabouts of any errant squads.

You could probably drop the Carapace on the Company Commander. He's riding around in a taxi if it blows up then he's unlikely to be saved by the armour. Also add a vox caster to the CCS.

You could blob your guard platoon and get rid of 3 vox casters. I'd run both veterans as Melta vets with one heavy flamer each in case somebody gets close.

Maybe kit out the exterminator with heavy bolter sponsons if you want dedicated anti infantry.

You could also just have the tempestus from the guard instead of taking a whole new CAD. Means you can drop the Lord commissar, shove a regular bare bones commissar into the blob. Save yourself 60pts or so.
>>
>>51038278
Are sky fire missiles needed or is a hell drake enough anti-flyer?
>>
>>51038287
So his CSM example is now clearly cheating, but codex marines could have e.g. three tactical squads with designated rhinos and three fast attack rhinos, and while you'd have to say which rhinos were DTs, each unit would then have 4 rhinos they could possibly be in.

I think that scenario is RAW justifiable (like so many other sins), but the only place a list wasting points like that has a chance is in casual play, so I understand why people are objecting to tryharding.

Well you'd kind need to anyway unless you just have a bunch of ML bits sitting around. The "official" Havoc box is crap and comes with a mix of single weapons, The CSM troop box comes with a HB, and even buying loyalist Devastators only gets you two MLs. Just grabbing Forgeworld Autocannons and using them on normal CSM is probably the cheapest option.

raptors on the other hand, are only good in 5-man-2-meltagun squads, as they are squishy like normal marines, and dont get jink.

Chosen are better than termintors, though you can run a melta-termicide squad (3 termintors with combi-melta, no other upgrades) for ~70 points cheaper than an effective melta chosen squad (5 chosen, 5 melta guns, +rhnio).

as for havoks, they can be good, if you have a min squad with auto cannons, plonk them in 4++ cover, and they will do alright. Helbrutes are so-so, but they are cheap. in that case it comes down to personal taste, but dont add more bodies to the havoks.

>Though fuck hellbrutes I'd rather minimise the havocs and equip them with some long range weapons.

ah, yeah, do that.

just base them , it doesn't take long (aside from waiting for the texture paint to dry but assembly line painting helps) and adds a lot of character

what build would you suggest for the sorcerer? also should i just stick him and the lord in the bike squad and leave the spawn squad just by itself?

Well, my thought was just to take a cheap sorc with mastery level 3, no sigils or anything, and spell familiar as a psychic defense/support hero and let the lord take challenges while he's just at the back bonking away with his force weapon.

If you split them I would put the lord with the spawn and then the sorc in the bikers so at least he has the champion to hide from challenges, either way I wouldn't invest too much in his personal defense but hide him behind someone else.

Doing the same as you, but I keep screwing up the priming. I did it 7 years ago just fine with no loss of detail while being 100% covered, but now I can't stop fucking it up. I have at least 20 models that I can't use because they're all wrong. I have to strip the primer now.

So essentially 1 warlord, 1 sorcerer, 2 tactical, 3 raptors, 2 units of chaos terminators, and a hell brute or two.

Everything in the list can take whatever dedicated transports are available to them. If you use FW, you can actually use Dreadclaws for the Chosen, CSM, and Hellbrutes because they're dedicated in IA13. I'm the minority, but I like them. They're easy to convert, give a T2 assault, can jink to 3+ on NL T1, and are ObSec fliers in a Warband.

Also, don't underestimate NL Havoks. Remember, the whole army gets stealth, so you could have a 3+ cover on your ObSec Las/Auto canons.

Cba to doa few of them but here's a lil guy I did an age ago.
>>
>>51036231
This is how it works in theory.

On the actual table, Tau get their shit pushed in by a good GSC list. They don't have enough dispersed firepower to handle the MSU, and they tend to underestimate the Cults firepower thinking it's purely a melee race and then half of their Fire Warrior units are falling back after losing guys to autoguns.

Literally any GSC unit making it into CC with a Tau unit is a death sentence for them, so they'll Overwatch as much as possible against the first thing to declare a charge and then have nothing left to throw at the other unit (or two, or three...).

As soon as you get the upper hand it snowballs out of control as most of the Tau army is based on synergy. They get crippled by losing Markerlights, losing units in the back giving supporting fire, losing their buff commander, and so on.
>>
>>51040178
*by a few i meant base it properly and find a backdrop.
I'm a lazy shit, as the paintscheme might have suggested.

>>51039976
That's a competent list, only thing I would change is drop the rangers, add 10 more Vanguard, and put two arc rifles in each of the Skitarii Maniple vanguard squads; you're going to have a bitch of a time keeping them alive otherwise.

Also don't be afraid to use your Dominus to tank wounds for the plasma squad, 2+/5+ FNP and the ability to heal himself instead of firing a weapon (meaning you can shoot volkite and still heal a wound on a 2+) makes him very survivable against anything that's not S8 AP2.

Going second is not a problem for GSC if you build the list properly and aren't relying entirely on that turn 1 charge to win.

It's only ever a problem if you think you're going first, deploy too aggressively and then get seized.

They do on paper.

In-game they cannot land 2 Markerlights each on all of your 20-something units, nor target things that are hidden out of LoS except with short-ranged SMS.

I can tell you haven't really played this match-up because you sound exactly like I did before I started getting games in. Tau on the table are not the meme they are on the internet unless you're playing with not enough terrain or they're getting stupidly above average rolls.

sorry to keep bugging you but i dont have anyone local that does FW to talk to.

i am building death guard using the traitors legion book and want all my stuff to be legit.

can i use dreadclaws in my Chaos Warband? I am assuming dedicated transports means it is okay because te transports are not listed in the warband formation at all and you can take rhinos.

lastly, IA13 describes all hellbrutes as once being dreadnoughts before they lost it.....could i use an infernum dreadnought and consider it a hellbrute? to fill the required 1-3 hellbrutes or havoks slot?

i dont really like the plain hellbrute, but a nurgle marked infernum dreadnought that can potentially turn into a DP sounds awesome....even if it is 80 more points

>>51040408

Pic related in terms of what can take it as a dedicated transport, and yes you can take dedicated transports in formations for the units that can take them. Otherwise, Dreadclaws are FA.

I don't like the Hellbrute model, either, but I don't see why you could use it bad a Hellbrute so long as you're using HB rules for it. You can't use the rules for an Infernum in place of a HB in the formation, though.

I can't decide between adding some stuff for my slaanesh CSM army or getting the fun box that is burning of prospero.

I know the usual answer is ''whatever you like the most'' but i'm seriously split on this one.

Except if you do go second then they get two turns of shooting phases against you before you can start getting assaults.

I've played the matchup a lot. It's hard to hide things outside of line of sight against crisis or riptide jump shoot jump. God help you if they bring flamers or even SMS on their crisis because those people are getting shot to hell.
>>
is the betrayal at calth box a good start for whatever sm army?
>>
>>51040721
Yes. Burning of Prospero is good, too.
>>
>>51040721

For a 40k SM army?

No, not at all. Start with a (surprise!) Start Collecting box.

Wayland games are shocking at getting stuff to you on time, if you haven't already got the apologetic emails get in touch with customer service.

>>51040688
Do you really play this game?

How do you figure they are getting two shooting phases before you can charge when you have Cult Ambush? And Crisis Suits cannot even take SMS. If they load up on Flamers, charge them with Purestrains and laugh it off or soak it with Neophytes first.
>>

Turn 1 Tau: Shoots at you

Turn 1 GSC: Shoots back and hides, can't assault because they entered with Cult Ambush/Infiltrate

Turn 2 Tau: Shoots at you again

The biggest catch with Darksphere is that they're basically crooks, tax-scamming, sending goods to other countries (GW forbids this), they even declared part of their business a charity.

so the biggest catch is... there is no catch. They're just not ethical, if you give a shit about that.

I don't.
>>
>>51040842

Any units that actually get sixes are priority number one for the first Tau shooting phase. Those units are not going to survive to assault.
>>
>>51040835
>Turn 1 GSC: Shoots back and hides, can't assault because they entered with Cult Ambush/Infiltrate
With ~20 units, you'll be able to assault with average 3 units. In reality its 5-6 since you'll get multiple rolls for First Curse to get that 6 and Subterrain Assault also rolls 2d6 (or 3d6 for unit with primus).

Tau needs to kill those units their first turn or otherwise they'll eat those charges. And even 5 t3 dudes will do major damage on any tau unit short of LoWs.
>>
I want to use the Hordes Sacral Vault as a giant Tzeentch sacrificial altar, any ideas for a counts as? The gators will go and it will be crawling with horrors
>>
>>51040842
A six is a result that only occurs 42 percent of the time in a Primus joined subterranean uprising unit, 30 percent of the time for other subterranean uprising units, and 17 percent of the time for non subterranean uprising units.
>>

For one unit. It's less impressive in context.
>>
>>51037786

I've found around 70 is good. 2 blobs of 40 guys with max Lascannons, 2 PCS with either Lascannons if on foot or Flamers if in a Vendetta, CCS with MoO and fun upgrades.
>>
>>51040854
If there's nothing you can isolate and catch out of LoS of supporting units, then you put them out of LoS and RttS, avoiding their first two turns of shooting entirely.

Here's how it actually plays out:
>Turn 1 Tau: Shoots at you ineffectually, because they're still in their deployment zone so half of them are either out of range or can't draw LoS if you didn't deploy like a retard, and most of your army has Shrouded and they don't have 20 different units with Markerlights to divide them among all your 40-50 point 5 man squads.

>Turn 1 GSC: Returns to the Shadows or sits on backfield objectives and summons shit, take some long range pot-shots with autocannons. If you have the opportunity for a charge, you take it.

>Turn 2 Tau: Is maybe close enough to start unleashing more firepower, except almost all the things they really want to shoot at are still safely backfield or off the table. The greatest threat here is if they Deep Strike something, but even then it's only shooting one or two units.

>Turn 2 GSC: All your shit comes back out of Reserves and Ambushes, recovering some of the models they lost turn 1, you lose a couple guys to interceptor, then are bolstered by more summons or you psychic shriek the fuck out of them, then charge their Markerlight units.

After that it typically snowballs into gg.

if i had to choose between being shot all game or fighting all game, i'd go with the fighting but i play slaanesh daemons so i think i could take them in a fight
>>
>>51040878
And 42 percent of the time for the Patriarchs unit as well.

And you should be running 18-24 units worth of guys capable of ambushing, and summoning more if you have the opportunity.
>>
>>51041001

>>
>>51041013
Subterranean uprising doesn't have any bonuses for a patriarch. I'll assume you're talking about the warlord trait, in which case you're being inaccurate. It's a 42 percent Chance for the first turn only.
>>
>>51041025
For me personally, I just dread the thought of assembling and painting all the gaunts I'd need for a good swarm, along with all the time I'd be spending either carefully moving them around the board, or just taking them off as they get torn apart by blasts.

Stompy Nidzilla saves way more time
>>
>>51041025
Because a blob on foot can't reach the objective when it might be the most critical, 5-10 dudes in a transport can.

Which is what was being discussed, was specifically the first turn.

Also 30% chance that he has it guaranteed the whole game, which is solid.

Yes but they do have split-fire markerdrones to do just what you're fucking saying they wouldn't be able to do.

>implying two turns isn't plenty of time to move downfield for jump and jet

>assuming you'll roll summons and will get charges off your second cult ambush that won't get shot to hell, with units that don't get charges ending up in the exact same position of needing to wait through even more shooting phases.

I'm looking over the Emperor's Children Relics for ideas of what to add to my Slaanesh force. I've already got in mind to give Blissgiver to my Chaos Lord, though I had also been thinking of getting a Daemon Prince with the Soul Snare Lash. I'm also tempted to make a Terminator Lord with the special bolts to essentially give me a Noise Marine terminator, but that feels like a bit of a waste.

Any other suggestions or thoughts as to what works well there?
>>
>>51041066

You don't know what you are missing, anon. Games may take longer, but there is nothing as fun to play as a painted horde army.
>>
>>51041135
Blissgiver and the Endless Grin are a strong combo on a Raptor Talon Lord.
>>
>>51041135
If allied slaanesh daemons, your psychic powers queue off leadership in hilarious ways. Take the endless grin
>>
So I've seen a post in an earlier thread, that went something like this: "my friend has a Black Legion army, but wants to use Death Guard rules on them. Am I being a dick for not letting him do that?". To my surprise most of the replies went something like this: "if he's your friend you should let him, but overall I get ya". If I wanna use DG rules using my BL army should I be telling pick up opponents, that it's actually a homebrew warband "Dark Reapers", or some shit like that - DG successors, that joined BL? Or is it actually cool to detach color scheme and rules?
>>
>>51041138

That camo-painted Knight is based, any more pictures?
>>
>>51041154
I thought you couldn't take two relics on characters anymore? That said, I do have a sorcerer that tags along with the Blissgiver lord in a land raider, so I believe that could combo quite nicely there.

>>51041161
I'm slowly building up my stock of allied daemons, though right now it's just a few daemonettes. I'm getting the feeling that Endless grin is way better than I first thought though?
>>
>>51041072
Are those yours? They really nice. Got any more pictures?

Split-fire lets one single model in the unit target a different unit.

Even with an entire Drone Net they can't average the kind of Markerlight saturation it takes to get ignores cover on like 5 different threats, it's just not happening. Not to mention Drones aren't the most survivable unit and will be the first thing under the guns in my own shooting phase, and if they Jink to save themselves congrats, they're now trying to mark me with fucking snap shots, so it was still basically a success and possibly even more effective.

The units that actually have decent firepower are typically not all that fast. Missilesides aren't jetting anywhere. The ones that are fast like Riptides or Ghostkeels are ~200 points of overkill for anything they shoot at, and Crisis Suits are typically not packing blasts or high RoF.

Also
>assuming you'll roll summons
With 13 psychic power rolls I have yet to fail to get it, OR fail to get the power off multiple times in a game, once since assembling my 1850 list.
>>
>>51041138
Well, I've already set up my Tyranid force, so I don't think I'd care to change it now. Perhaps I'll give it a shot when I start another army it can work with, though outside of Black Tide space marines or massed Eldar Guardians nothing I have planned fits the bill.
>>
>>51041191
I haven't heard anything about that. In fact, I questioned that myself and all recent discussion online (that I found) seemed to say GW hasn't officially come out with a stance on that, and since half the relics replace weapons and half don't, the consensus was that you can take a relic which replaces a weapon (Blissgiver) and a relic which doesn't (the Endless Grin), but you can't take both from one group or the other.
>>
>>51041263
Same anon, wanted to add that YMMV depending on how competitive your local meta is. Mine is fine with it.
>>
>>51041263
>>51041278
Well, I think in this case I'll err on the side of caution and put them on separate HQs in the same squad for now. Should be the same overall effect at least of causing fear, lowering enemy leadership, and them forcing tests on them with the sword.

Big, normally cheap unit of lots of fairly shitty individual models. Imperial Guard can combine their squads together to make them, or take 3ppm conscripts. If you make them fearless, you can use them to tarpit (Hold an enemy in melee that is way more expensive in points than you, preventing him from killing actually important stuff) or bubblewrap (Form a line around your expensive stuff so the enemy can't charge it, usually tanks). Other purposes too, but normally doing either of those, and the latter leads to the former most times.
