Might pick up Cawl tomorrow, going in to the GW. If hes not sold out, of course.

I plan on the Knight Warden so I can benefit from Cawl's BS buffs as well as smack stuff with S:D. The local Tau player is prone to overhyping his Stormsurge, and the only time I fought him was when I was an even more massive newb (~4 games under my belt, if that) and REALLY couldn't deal with Stormsurge+ Riptide at 1200. Now I have Sicarians and Dragoons, I plan to target his Drone Net first since I didn't know how to do that. I have the feeling he's not actually very good, he just stood there, shot and jumped out of Grav LoS.

The close combat ability is why I enjoy the Morkanaut personally.

That and the KFF umbrella.

Though really I'd like to know the rationale behind it's design and point cost.

Also, are any of the Orkanauts even used in the studio battlereports featured in White Dwarf?

I only ever recall two instances, one of which was seven Imperial Knights against one Morkanaut, two Gorkanauts, one Stompa, five Killa Kans and three Deff Dreads.

Just represent your Ork Nobz using Codex: Tau Empire. The rules for Crisis Suits are better for representing the awesome melee power of Nobz, since your guys should totally be able to leap around the battlefield like a motherfucker. Plus having 3+ armour is really nice.

Nope.
Depends on how you use the units though.
For the bs 2 millitia/rabble they are fine.
I'd say if you buy armour and BS upgrades you should use more soldierly types.

>>51187155
Yeah, I didn't know that at the time and I didn't know how to deal with it. I should have closed in, got mixed up in the terrain and shot down the marker drones. Instead I sat around taking potshots and died.

I did at least manage to kill the Riptide. Now I have actual fast melee units and psykers from the Inquisition, so I might bring Coteaz.

Give yourself a 25% points handicap. If your opponent is taking a 2k list, you bring a 2.5k list. He won't even notice because your codex sucks that badly that he can and probably will table you regardless.

Multiply Structure Points by 3 to get Hull Points.

Also it kinda sucks right now since it only has 36 hull points, and all of it's weapons are from like 3rd edition. It's vastly outgunned by a 2500 point Warlord Titan that has more armour. It also doesn't have the same 'mega superheavy' rules that the other titans get in their Horus Heresy 5 entry. So you're better off grabbing that book so you can use the most up-to-date rules for a Warlord.

Actually, the Tau Empire is among the biggest minor xenos empires. Heck, Imotekh's Sautekh dynasty is 580+ worlds and look how much ground he has. The Tau rule hundreds of world. That's a big chunk of the galaxy making them among the major powers in the galaxy.

Alright, so I'm debating between two options for a Black Templars army I'm starting.

The first is to technically run Exorcists to get Captain Silas as an HQ for super deny-the-witch and have a giant dude with a giant sword.

The second is to use the new Castellans formation for a respawning Black Tide, filling in the need for one allied unit with either a SoB Priest for something cheap, or some Bullgryn for a meaty slab-shieldwall.

Sadly I don't think I can mix the two, as only Black Templars special characters are on the Castellan list.

Any thoughts or alternative suggestions?
>>
>>51187954
You call riptide wings and wraithknights a casual army?
>>
>>51187949
Nope. That's fluff from the GW Inquisitor RPG game.

Tau are near-invisible to daemons. A daemon character has to role for awareness tests even if the Tau is in plain sight. If the daemon character fails, he fails to detect the Tau and acts that the Tau isn't there.

All issues of vile heresy aside, no. Doomed though the Imperium may be, it's stable enough not to collapse tomorrow. If the Imperial Cult were abandoned and the AdMech's stranglehold on technology broken, and all (over even some) of the several quadrillion brightly-souled humans suddenly started acting like the progressive, open-minded Tau, the Damocles Gulf would collapse into a Warp rift pretty much overnight. Joining the Tau would be one of the few things the Imperium could do to make its situation worse.

The Tau have had humans in their empire for like 300 years. Billions of them. Hive worlds have been conquered and assimilated by the Tau.

We have no single case of a major daemonic outbreak in the fluff. So it seems the Tau are good at hiding humans.

Here the Tau water caste rules from the Inquisitor game. Read "Blunt".

>>51188148
Or cultists lay low until they gave enought worlds that they cannot be crushed singly, let tau spread themselves tinner and encompass more worlds, to drive an effective wedge between the front and the homeworlds, ideally when the Tau front is engaged with imperials.
>>
>>51188171
Reading Mont'ka, it seemed like the Tau would actually be weakened by working with the Imperium, so pathetic was their showing. But looking at the sales text, it's alliance, not assimilation. If the two sides worked together, with the Imperium's bottomless resource base backed by Tau R&D, that would be nigh unstoppable. But both sides still have to act like themselves aside from cooperating as equals, or they start running into problems.

>War is not a binary condition. Despite superficial appearances to the contrary it does not begin or end with a single discrete event. There may be catalysts and culminations, but their antecedents and consequences– cultural, material and even metaphysical– extend through times past and future like ripples in a river that flows two ways. Accordingly, the war between the Imperium and the Tau Empire did not begin and end with the Damocles Gulf Crusade. That conflict was the first great blossoming of our enmity and it will not be the last, but we have now entered a subtler phase of the game. Fifty years have passed since the crusade. Nothing has changed. Everything has changed.

>Here on the margins of the Damocles Gulf we are embroiled in a cold war, an intricate game of deceit, manipulation and coercion waged against a master player. It is a delicate struggle, but never make the mistake of thinking it any less inimical to the Imperium than the voracious depredations of the tyranids or the bleak pogrom waged by the necrons, for the tau are playing for the hearts and minds of mankind. If they triumph our species may survive, but its destiny will not.

The Imperium joining the Tau Empire is a possibility. The inquisition seems to fear that happening should the Tau defeat the Imperium in open war as well as the shadow war.

Ciaphas Cain put it best. If they cared, and didn't have bigger, uglier fish to fry, the Imperium would curbstomp the Tau into a messy blue stain on the pavement. The only reason they're still allowed to exist is because they can actually be talked down, and thus aren't as threatening to the Imperium as LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE.

I still think they came out ahead on that one. The Tau in Mont'ka were more threatened by their own leadership than by the Imperium. With Aun'va dead and replaced by a hologram that will inspire the masses without constantly twirling his mustache and pouring resources into a fight that will never pay off, they're probably better off than before.
>>
>>51188511
The Tau brutally curbstomped the Imperial crusade and sent them packing. The assassins and nuking happened because the Imperium couldn't achieve a military ground victory.

50%+ of the crusade forces were destroyed. Billions of IG. Plenty of them Cadians which explains why Cadia fell to Abaddon. The Tau killed a huge chunk of Cadians.

>>
>>51188554

Disorganized maybe.

That being said, they'd have to contend with the Orks, Tyranids, Necrons and Chaos for the Galaxy.

Orks aren't as disorganized as they have been in the past and the Tyranids are a very cohesive threat. The Necrons can be as well and Chaos will always be in abundance.

Were any of these factions to turn an eye to the Tau, the results for the Empire, in victory or defeat, would likely be dire.
>>
>>51188635
>Drach
Possible since it seems to have the ability to eat human souls unchecked, but that was said 10k years ago before he was fed countless Psykers, had a religious cult spanning the galaxy in state mandated worship and could create Living Saints (which operate a lot like Daemon Princes).

So maybe he eats the sword instead.
>>
>>51188608
>Billions of IG
The Imperium SHITS out that many troops.

You don't get it, do you? The Imperium tanks losses like that EVERY DAY. they have for 10,000 years. And as the Macharian Crusade shows, it takes one - JUST ONE - truly competent leader to roll over everything in sight.

And even if that leader is one in a TRILLION, the Imperium has a few hundred in hand. It's that big.

Even at hundred-to-one, no, thousand-to-one casualty ratios, you'll still lose. YOU ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH.

It takes more than one leader. The stars kind of have to align. Enough resources have to be ready at once and the supply lines have to keep flowing. The problem is the too many fronts with no reliable comms and warp travel.

Except that's just not true. For example, the imperium doesn't use Dreadclaws anymore because they were prone to getting possessed and spacing it's occupants.

I know you're being a qt tease, but Guard are the "good at nothing" race. They are supposed to have the numbers and spam to make up for that fact, but everything in the Guard dex is overpriced. Guardsmen, Vets, Conscripts all need to be reduced by 1 point. Power Weapons need to be about 5-10 points. Most of the Leman Russ tanks need to drop by anywhere from 0-30 points. Basilisks should be probably 90-100 points. Chimeras need to be 45 or 50. Plasma Guns should be 10. Lascannons should be 15.

Nah, just give IG bolters and some stat increases to make them better shots and tougher. Say, 4's all around. Maybe give them super carapace armor too at 3+. Of course you'll have to make them about 14 points or so to pay for all those stats and wargear. Then, give them the Hold The Line, Lads rule that lets them hold the line when they fail their highly disciplined morale stat of 8. So,

Imperial Guard - 14 points per model

- Bolter
- Super Carapace Armor

My friend is being a 'that guy' he runs grey knights, deathwatch, and assassins. I play Orks (newfag to 40k) but he's completely wrecking me in the psyker phase. Can I take a callidus assassin to help me out legally?

Browse google for around an hour. Still no sign of the Deathwatch start collecting formation. What gives it's only 1 day away now, does it not have one?

>tfw the army you want is so fucking terrible there's no point in even trying to play them.

I want a footslogging, non-blob IG army. But that's absolute garbage. The idea of having a platoon just with a command squad and 2 10-man squads gets my dick hard, but there is no army who can't break a 10-man guardsman squad in a single turn.
>>
>>51189600
I'm in a similar area you are in that one. I want to run a pure footslogging Black Tide army with maxed Crusader Squads.

Guess what DOESN'T work as an army.

I feel like i have a bad habit of latching onto army builds that look cool as fuck but suck more dick than a $2 whore running a "buy one get one free" sale.

>>51189578
Yes, she'll always infiltrate so come the apocalypse will never come into effect

And yeah culexus assassin rapes grey knights
>>
>>51189578
You can, but it would need to deploy 12" away and stay 6" away from your orks, if I recall the CTA ally rules correctly.

You could probably even mock it up as an Ork Blank if you wanted it to be more fitting in your army. Fluff the extra deployment distance as other Orks not liking him due to his weirdness.
>>
>>51189578
Yes. Officio Assassinorum detachment. Just keep it away from your dudes, since that's Come the Apocalypse ally tier. I think.
>>
>>51189600
This.
Want to play a nobikes marine army but it's impossible.
>>
>>51189578

You want the culexus assassin if you are having trouble with the psychic phase. You can ally one in just keep it 12 inches away from your own guys due to it being a 'come the apocalypse' ally.

Orks are hard mode too. I'm not an Ork player but, it seems they have very few builds that work well.
>>

You could try to say that your assassin was sent out to kill his Warlord because he did something another Inquisitor isn't OK with and they made a deal with the orks to fight his army as distraction to let the assassin kill his boss.

Let it be at first Tau vs Tyranids and at the end of the first book it is revealed that it was all Ghazkull plan using the orkz that seed Tyranids everywhere for fun and seed Tyranids on Tau planets to redirect the Tyranid fleet and weaken the Tau for the orkz to krumple them

Then you could get an ork, Tau, Tyranids and perhaps also GSC in a single xenos only campaign.

You're basically gonna run Scions, then. Either Grenadier Vets or just straight up Scions/stormtroopers. 5+ T3 is not enough to footslog.

In addition, march them behind a Rampart Detachment of Bullgryns. The Bullgryns give a 3+ cover save which you can boost to 2+ with camo cloaks. Your opponent has to either shoot the bullgryns to get them out of the way or shoot through an absurdly good cover save.

Be aware that Barrage weapons go around this, because the Slabshield specifies the target must be 'obscured' to gain its cover save and Barrage weapons are never obscured.

Asdrubael Vect it's on a grav plataform and the platform looks like the image of rumour engine, the same box also brings 2 incubi but are very different from the current ones as with thicker armor, but none of the 3 miniatures look like the image of the red eldar of fall of cadia.

There were other boxes containing larger boxes inside, but I've only seen a little piece of the side, in which an female eldar in a yellow and blue gown with the name ...of Iyanden (I could not see it all) under the portrait, the box was large so i guess that will contain more miniatures since it is bigger than the box of vect

Most chapters are roughly similar and use the same codex. Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Deathwatch and Space Wolves get their own books.

Everyone who uses the main book gets access to a powerful formation called the demi-company which gives you several hundred points worth of vehicles for free.

Ultramarines and their successors are generic all-rounder flexible forces, usually with plenty of tactical squads and sternguard veterans.

Iron Hands and their successors have tougher tanks and characters than other chapters.

Imperial Fists are super-shooty. Their successors are mostly similar except for the Black Templars who are all about the assault and hate psykers.

Salamanders get the most out of flamer and melta weapons.

White Scars and their successors are better bikers, which is significant because some of the strongest marine builds are based on lots of bikes.

Raven Guard and their successors are sneaky and get a bonus for jump packs.

Blood Angels and their successors are generally a bit faster and more assault-focused than other marines and have a few unique units (mostly jump pack guys). They can also take assault squads as troops.

Dark Angels and their successors are overall good at shooting and have quite a few unique units including some assault bikers and really tough terminators.

Space Wolves are the most different from other marines. They get loads of weird units, some of them stupidly good in assault. They are widely despised for their stupid name, bad models and furry theme as well as the perception that their rules are rather too good.

Deathwatch are super-elite tacticool marines with a strong emphasis on shooting. They get fewer models than other marines, but better equipment.

Grey Knights are another chapter of extra-elite marines. They are more focused on assault than most and have a shitload of psykers. They are meant to be demon-hunters, but are only slightly less effective against everyone else. Very easy to paint.

Chapters that have their own codex have different models/units/rules.

Chapters that are all in Codex: Space Marines vanilla codex only have difference in paint job and some small rules changes.

Deathwatch is very different from other chapters. They have different models, armor, weapons, etc. They're still Space Marines at the end of the day.

>>51192585
Melta Veterans and HWT are dubious tank-hunters at best. Far too easy to kill. Better to invest the points into a tank-killing tank.

Infantry platoon is basically fine apart from I wouldn't bother with the lascannon squad unless you can guarantee somewhere good to place it.

Basic Russ are OK, but I think some of the variants are better.

At 1,000 points you can probably get away with no anti-aircraft, but I wouldn't bet too heavily on it. A Valkyrie would give you basic air-defence and a better chance of getting your veterans onto something important than a chimera does.

A hellhound or something capable of indirect fire would probably help a lot. With no real assault-capable forces, you could struggle to deal with anyone who hides behind LOS blocking terrain or gets a really good cover save (less of a problem now that shrouded and stealth don't stack, but still possible). Even a couple of mortars give you more options.

>>51192585
in my experience those three-man lascannon squads can absolutely tear shit up especially against space marines, as long as you can protect them. if you have a bigger, juicier target you can bait your opponent with, then those lascannons are gonna be dropping a vehicle a turn as long as their up.
