So I got two of the dark eldar starter boxes last week after reading the dark eldar codex they sounded fun as fuck- albeit paper thin.

Anyhow is this the war gear you'd run on them?

I'm not sure about the Aethersails or more wargear on the Archons..

>>51203506
I'd split the reavers, run lances on the raiders, and throw blasters and splinter cannons in the Warriors. You also need a place to put the Archons, drop a Warrior (and Splinter Cannon if you gave it to him) to make room. Also, going forward you should drop one of the Archons entirely.

No one, now that GW uses epubs.

This happened all the fucking time. It still happens with tg related books. Anytime you playin with some spiral bound fucker, they stole that shit.

GW said, well, fuck, we'll make a lot less convenient to steal the paper books. And we'll use a format you can only read easily using our we-can-see-if-you-really-bought-it software, so that hopefully you'll just be like, "god damn it's worth buying just to not have to put up with this shit"

>>51203625
Yes. But each would only benefit from their respective chapter tactics of course. Also I don't think most opponents would have an issue, but you might run into problems when taking Chapter Tactics from outside Codex: Space Marines since those aren't technically on the source referred to by the Castellan formation.

>>51203672
That's what I meant by my first post, maybe Kranon was supposed to be an actual Character in the book, but they ended up not going with it and instead decided to take his gear and make them into relics.

I'm just making up theories because the FACT is that you can't fucking do it.

Maybe Orks were meant to be a ranged race?

do people think the castellan formation could be competitive at 1000k points or it would be too low? I measured out an army list but to be honest, the 2 HQ and 4 troops doesnt allow for much in terms of elites/heavy etc and it feels like it might be too inflexible even if they come back on a 5+

>>51203704
Ahh nevermind
>>51203643
>>51203658
have the right of it. Even if you take one of the BT special characters that would judt force your troops into BT tactics and there are no Special Characters from other chapters available.

>>51203679
But GW doesn't tell you to use some special software. They just have you use a free e-Reader. They have no way of knowing if your copy is legit.

>>51203679
Apparently nothing, seeing that all their files can be read on just about any e-reader I can find. But hey, at least I won't go printing them out, because fuck having all the book conveniently on a digital device.

>>51203713
>I'm just making up
I know. You can stop.

The FACT is, Kranon was intended to be a legal set-up according to an official GW publication. You getting your knickers in a twist won't change that.

>inb4 you continue to pretend I'm trying to say it's a legal set-up currently

>>51203737

>>51203506
Sell or trade one of the Archons if possible. You usually want to split units into as many small units as possible unless you are taking transports. Aethersails ain't worth it.

Now get two start collecting Eldar boxes and a Wraithknight and you are good to go. You could also go the way of Ravagers, more bikes and more dudes in Venoms or a unit of 5 Talos using the Haemonculus Covens supplement.

>>51203928
Either way, if prehistoric Earth had enough psychic power on its own to make the Emperor, a galaxy-wide Imperium with hundreds of trillions of humans should be able easily scrounge together enough power to make Emperor 2.0.

How about during that whole witch-hunting phase the Imperium went through? Are you telling me there was never a moment where more than a handful of non-exhausted, psychically-viable humans were all executed at the same time?

>>51203942
>datacards
Fancy GW term for unit entries.

As for the rest you really need to read the "preparing your army" section of the rulebook. Armies are organized into a series of detachments. One detachment is the "Combined Arms Detachment" which is basically the old Force Organization chart, but not all of them are like that. Formations are a type of detachment that usually grant benefits in exchange for being much pickier about which units are included.

>>51203942
Datasheets are your unit stats and options.

Formations are specific groups of units that you can take to get an extra bonus effect.

Dawnstone with an Administratum Grey hightlight for that grey. Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade for shade.

For white armor use Ulthuan Grey base, recess shade with Agrax Earthshade and highlight with white scar. What this video for a demonstration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtZnWSU4JjE

>>51203946
Celestra Gray. Ulthuan Gray. Those make white. Edge high light in white scar. Eshin Gray for your actual Gray. Alternate take. Prime Corax white then paint the Gray using some Gray base. Probably easier since guard is high model count

>>51203603

Fateweaver's great (the LoC kit seems much better than the new Bloodthirster in general), but something about the resculpted Changeling doesn't look right to me.

>>51204176
No one will ever use it, anon.

So Im a bit new to the hobby (and retarded) and glued my Company Command Squad to the bases before I painted the bases themself. Will it be hard to paint them or should I just give it up and go with the good ol black bases? Im asking becasue I dont know if I should buy Armageddon dust or not.
On the side note, Im personally proud of my models, even though they are not too good, but it was my first time

>>51204263
GW KT =\= HoR. Two different rulesets. There's a Kill Team General, they can go in depth.

Drooling retard here. How are you expected to properly use relatively soft units with Heavy weaponry?

Pathfinders are a good example. Unless you're going first and Scout into position before the game begins, how can you realistically expect them to survive a turn after moving into a position where they can see the enemy (and presumably the enemy can see them)? Won't they get blown the fuck up 100% of the time? What sane opponent would not unleash everything on the Pathfinder squad (not that it would take much), or failing that, simply move out of LOS?

Or are Pathfinders only usable if you're going first and Scout into position like I said?

>>51203860

>it'll be a little annoying to base them but you can should do it

>>51204279
Not hard. Just be sure you dont fuck up with our glue/paints and you'll do right.

>>51204279
It's fine. Plenty of people do it in that order as normal operating procedure including the official GW tutorials.

>>51204298
You have them sit right back out of range of most enemy units. But yes, they will attract a lot of attention either way, because letting Markerlights survive is a mistake.

>>51204298
If you go first, then scout into firing lanes.

If second, hide behind walls so the enemy can't see you, move up and fire. You'll be snap shooting but you do have markerlights.

>>51204279
It's fine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5uspM2u4MQ

>>51203513
This is why Forgeworld Vanquishers are objectively better than GW Vanquishers. but fortunately the odds of firing a weapon greater than 72" anywhere other than apocalypse are slim at best.

>>51204298
Target Priority. If they are only unit in range&los that can eat those heavy bolters, they are going to. But if that bloody Riptide is keeping an objective that opponent badly needs, chances are that those heavy bolters will be directed towards it even if they have bad chance to wound it.

Remember that just like yourself, your opponent is also (usually) playing in the way that he is trying to get objectives and react to biggest threat. If you have big threats, smaller ones go mostly unharassed.

>>51204298
You're Tau. The enemy is going to be coming to you. Cover lanes of approach and hit them and they come in.

>>51204328
Having them sit back is the equivalent of not fielding them at all, though. Are you just hoping your opponent forgets about them and moves into their sight without firing on them?

>>51204330
>You'll be snap shooting but you do have markerlights.
Unless I'm more retarded than I put out, snapshots mean the markerlights will only hit if you roll a 6, right? Or do markerlights have some special rule that I'm not seeing in the codex?

It's just hard to wrap my head around. In the few games I've played, my Pathfinders have done practically nothing outside of the first turn, if that.

>>51203731
Orks are a "Lots of attacks, very few hits, hits reliably kill" race, both in shooty and melee. At least, that's how it SHOULD work.

>Fire shootahs Everywhere
>All but 2 shots miss
>2 pasted enemies.

>Swing Ax like madman
>Easily dodge all but one incoming attack
>Attack sends the space marine flying off the table.

THAT'S how it should be. So why are they strength freaking 3?!

>>51204173
What about drop the Acolyte and replace them for the Inquisition Acolyte squads psykers.
2 squads of 2 Acolytes and 1 Psyker for 16 points. Prescience galore for everyone!

>>51204357
This makes a lot more sense. I don't actually field any Riptides or Stormsurges, so I guess my opponents haven't had much reason not to shoot the Pathfinders.

Would it be unreasonable to stick knives or chainsword bits onto the end of bolters and count them as a bolt pistol+CC weapon?

>>51204398
Yeah. Try picking up Stormsurge and then do the unthinkable: march forward. It might be shooty ws2 platform with S5 and A2 but its still GC and such stomps its way through most stuff in melee. That is going to put your opponents fire into it like no tomorrow.

But just be smart about it. No use charging Imperial Knight or something else that eats Stormsurge for breakfast in melee before it can Stomp and cause some 6's.

You are now aware that Cadians are the golden standard for guardsmen and their kit - the helmet, the flak armor, the lasgun, the fatigues - is common the galaxy over on millions of worlds. As long as even one of these 'successor Cadias' still tithes guardsmen, there will be Cadians.

Hey thanks for the explanation guys. I appreciate it.

So I really want to start the game with Dark Eldar, but everyone I've told that to has told me in no uncertain terms that they are the single worst army to start with.

>>51204433
>You are now aware that Cadians are the golden standard for guardsmen and their kit
That's pretty much the entire point of Cadians. An excuse for essentially a single kit to represent the myriad forms that Imperial Guardsmen come in. How did you only realize that now?

Why is that, what are the problems with the codex?

By the way, do they really look like they are not washed? I used quite a lot of agrax on them and nuln on the weapons(and one very unlucky guardsman`s arm) but I didnt want to overdo it.

>drill your barrels
Refers to taking a pin vise or small drill and actually putting a hole on the end of larger-barreled weapons like meltaguns and bolters.

There's some debate as to whether you should drill plasma guns, because they're energy weapons, but the point stands.

Here's my converted ABG Vanquisher, The Orkin Man. note his hull and sponson guns have barrels that are drilled out. I also drilled out the co-ax and the pintle gun, though those are less visible.

Ok.

>>51204279
Remove trip retard.

>>51204597
You can just paint a black dot on the end.

>>51204631
A wash adds depth but I suspect you either lost the detail in the lousy photo or didn't highlight them afterwards.

Just using the original color and lightly topping off the high bits will help. Notice in >>51204433 that the khaki has had this done; it's most evident on the pants and below the belt.

>>51204643
But I am the retarded tripfag, how could I?

I did not highlight, you are right. I dont really understand how do I do it, even after watching saint`s Dunc video.

>>51203860
To create E a lot of Malcador level psykers were needed. Also the warp has a lot to do with symbolism, and E was created out of biggest need, to counter Chaos gods. All of that, plus a lot more, and you got the man itself.

>Dark Eldar Reavers

They're basically drugged-up teenagers on hover bikes travelling at mach speeds. I think it was the 5th ed codex entry for them that discussed how they'll even pull off dumb stunts, like trading bikes in mid-air, to endanger themselves in the middle of battle, just for the sake of showing off.

>>51204267

>>51204229
its such a buzzkill.

>>51204728
The average Guardsman uses good old fashioned cold steel and courage to take down the fiercest enemies in the universe.

>>51204682
It depends on what you're trying to do. Going back to >>51204433 I used two different highlight methods, one on the khakis and one on the armor.

The khakis have a 'layer' highlight, as GW would call it. In this method you load the brush with the same color paint as the basecoat, then work most of it out on the pallete. then you brush the raised portions of the model, usually with the brush at a flat angle to the model to avoid getting bristles in the crevices, which will fuck up the wash. This has the effect of 'removing' the wash in those areas; wash builds up in the crevices but it actually darkens every area it touches, ESPECIALLY agrax earthshade.

The armor was a drybrush. This is a bit harder. Use a flat-headed brush (hobby stores will usually sell brushes designed specifically for this purpose) and load it up as before, but this time work most of the paint out on a paper towel or other absorbent material. you want to have paint on your brush, but no moisture. Test the brush by drawing it along your finger. If you can see the color on your skin after one stroke, it's not dry enough. If you CAN'T see it after ten, it's too dry.

Note that by 'stroke' i mean the kind of stroke you see archaeologists using to clean the dust off of dinosaur bones. Soft, rapid passes that only touch the raised bits of the model. The key to drybrushing is to realize that ONE STROKE SHOULD DO NOTHING. A proper drybrush only becomes visible to the naked eye after five or so.

>>51204776
What I actually do is 'pit' the gun. I take a wide drill and bore down maybe 1/16 of an inch to create a 'dish' shape, representing the end of the plasma aperture.

In my mind the weapon's actual barrel is about a millimeter across, but the end of the gun has that dish shape to prevent heat wash from damaging the gun...or the user.

Since most plasma weapons are thousands of years old, it doesn't do it's job too good.

>>51204860
Well, some painters try and do a 'directional' highlight that makes it look like the light source is coming from one direction, but I've never found that to work.

In my mind, you're either going to be looking at the model under flourescent light, in which case the model's directional highlight will show (and in all likelihood not match the model next to it on the table) OR you'll have a bright light, in which case the directional highlight will clash with the ACTUAL highlight.

What I do is find ridges. On cadians, this will usually be the following:
>nose
>cheekbones
>chin
>any corners on the armor
>creases and folds on the fatigues
>tops of fingers and thumbs

Do it uniformly and you won't have a directional highlight. But I did it with >>51204433 and he seems to have turned out okay.

Crusader, only problem is that it's generally more expensive.

>>51204933
Crusader. He's pricey and lousier in melee than other knights, but he still hits at S10AP2 and has MOUNTAINS of firepower.

>>51204933
Melta and sword. Can bust anything from an IG platoon, to a Veteran Squad, to a Rhino to a Land Raider.

>>51204949
Oh yeah, the key note is that he can bust other Knights, which is the key weakness of Crusaders which are basically useless against Knights unless they get lucky.

I'm of the opinion that AA is situational, so you need to have a unit that can do that AND something else.

This usually means buying a Defence Line, since they provide excellent cover in addition to cheap anti-air. For a guard player, a Hydra for 33% less points that can't be killed and provides cover for your dudes is a steal.

i think the biggest decision with the castellan formation will be deciding what special rule to take the most advantage of.

I have obsec with coteaz, so its hatred and 1/3 respawning troops/

Would it be better to spam more troops at 1850? bring CC ( unfortunately theres no great cc troops or models really..)

I think if I went 1850 Id fit a culexus for anti psyk and deathstar, and figure out the best gravity delivery system while still trying to max melta/plasma scions and sisters.

Can someone explain the Hit and Run special rule to me? Does it simply mean you can move at the end of the Assault Phase? Or do you specifically need to assault/be assaulted that turn to move?

Do orks have a default technology level that they will always reach after growing out their spores or do they always imitate local technology levels?

Is that Triaros Armoured Conveyer ever going to turn up in plastic? Looks awesome, I want Cawl and a bunch of Myrmidons in it.

Also, I fight a lot of Chaos, Tau and Nids, and my Admech are struggling slightly. War Convocation should be up and running in a month or two, but I don't want to use that on the poor Nids. Would an Armoured Battlegroup Vanquisher commander and another Russ work OK? What should I make the troop Russ? I wanted a couple tanks anyway.

>>51205356
you take an initiative test to break out of combat. then move 3d6".
you want to do this after the 2nd round of combat (your enemies turn) so you can shoot and charge on your turn while being safe from shooting during your opponents turn (although they can still be charged)

I'm heading to my FLGS for my first Warhammer night since picking a box full of orks from a friend. Spent the past few nights reading up on the rules and putting together a list with what models I've got for some casual 750 point play.

Besides some Kill teams I played early last month where some guys at the store helped teach me the rules, this will be my first time playing 40k. Does this list look alright? Is there anything big I should consider changing up?

Vanguard squad+Rad grenade Inquisitor+Saint Curias Autopurger+The Pater Radium (Think that was the name

Take a Toughness test on each model at -2 at I10, failure means wound for every fail.

Then take a Toughness test at -2 at I1, failure means D6 wounds with no armour saves.

Giving cancer to the enemies of the Omnisaah.

Is it possible to buy the bits from Forge World kits like you can GW ones? I want just the front two Abeyant panels and the torso section of the FW Archmagos Draykavac model, and I'm not paying for the whole thing. Any good bitz sellers do FW in the UK?

>>51205363
Generally, they imitate local and scale themselves to their enemies. If they conquer a world though, they'll quickly discover advanced space travel so they can go fight at others.

That also only really applies to Ork spores that spring up on their own. If it was part on existing Pro force, they'll happily use guns against a feudal world if they land there.

>>51205380
Probably not. Its a nice thing thou that it was mentioned in Fall of Cadia. So they still use them in 40k and after IA14 we might get to use their rules. Wohoo!

>>51205436

Five companies of the Imperial Fists had already departed upon the Crusade of Vengeance, unleashing the righteous fury of Dorn against the fortresses of Medrengard.

That left some thirty battle-brothers of the 1st Company, alongside the newly reconstituted and unblooded 3rd, to repel the assault on their beloved sanctum.

They are grenades and they do stack.
They have grenade in the name.

>>51205610
Can you screencap the rule for me that prevents it from stacking? This is not me taking piss at you but I'm actually curious now.

>>51205595
No you fucking idiot, I know they aren't actual grenades but they have worked exactly the same before and after the FAQ.

A unit that charges with a model with rad grenades inside reduces the toughness of the unit they charged by 1 for that turn. So no matter how many Inquisitors are in that unit, it still only reduces by 1.

However, if 4 separate Inquisitors charge that unit, then that's 4 units charging in, each reducing it by 1.

B-but he was such a good guy. Plus didnt Trazyn catch Creed in the end? I dont really know.


Also what the fuck am I supposed to do with his model now?

>>51205753
Look at the rule above, "When a unit with rad grenades" it doesn't count how many models have them in the unit, it always only reduces by 1.

But if multiple units with rad grenades are involved, then the rule procs multiple times, because unlike the Vanguard toughness reduction rule, it doesn't say it doesn't say it doesn't stack.

Trayzn saved Creed's life. Creed was still on Cadia when all the other coward Imperial forces had left in the transports, he would have been stuck on Cadai as it blew up and the shards dragged into the eye.

Sure it was to put him in his collection, but there is a possibility that Trayzn will release him down the line to use his TACTICAL GENIUS to fuck over another of Abbys plots.

A refreshingly low amount. However it does mean that in Chaos fluff, they butcher countless armies of Guard and in Guard fluff they get butchered by Chaos.

I think GW figured out that they can't have Chaos or SM suffering these major defeats against eachother all the time, their numbers can't support it.

A game of 40k can take place in a vast range of time. Kell couldn't have been older than 60 and like all the other human characters, have only been there for a fraction of the total events.

Just fluff it as happening before Cadia falls.

>>51205576
They're OK, go element games instead.

>>51204087
Actually that's not proven, just what was told to Horus by the chaos gods to help sway his reason to kill the Emperor. And even then they were showing him one of the multiple realities that could have happened.

>>51205969
Are you an idiot? Crusade wasn't alive for the 12th Black Crusade let alone the first Black Crusade that happened 10K years ago.

Creed only fought one single Black Crusade and it was the 13th. The fucking retardation.

>>51206033
So was the not-13th Black Crusade just retconned? Because he definitely defended it against that.

>>51205969
Nah son, he elected to stay to lead the Cadian 8th in defending the evacuation zone.

Shit was heroic as fuck and all took place AFTER he had lost an arm to Abby so he was bleeding out as he led his men.

Then Trayzn comes along and says his time was not over yet and pokeballs him.

What does that matter? You were dumb enough to think that Creed, a mortal man, has been leading the Cadians for 10K years.

>>51205287
Well the eldar are there as well so it's not had to justify a few battles with them even if they don't have new rules, and orks are everywhere. Nids and Tau are the only ones you can't really have battles with and be consistent with the fluff.

Imperial Agents says:
>During a turn in which a unit equipped with rad grenades launches an assault, or is assaulted, the enemy unit(s) suffer a -1 penalty to their Toughness until the end of the phase (this does affect the victims’ Instant Death threshold).

Seeing that the effect is per unit basis, it would seem even if there was 10 models with rad grenades in the unit, the toughness is lowered by 1. If it was per model basis, Legion Devastators would be OP.

>Urkanthos staggered away, talons raised to shield against the Canoness’ strike. An exultant Genevieve pursued, blade flashing. But in her zeal, the Canoness was deceived. The Daemon Prince was not cowed, but awaiting opportunity. As Genevieve struck again, Urkanthos ripped the blade from her grip and closed a taloned hand about her throat. Seeing her sister’s danger, Eleanor lunged at the beast, her frenzied flurry hacking deep into his armoured skin, and all but severing a tattered wing. It was not enough. Genevieve’s spine splintered under her captor’s unholy strength, her last act to headbutt the brute between his burning eyes. Loosing a desolate cry, Eleanor lunged with all her strength, the point of her sword lodging beside Urkanthos’ black heart. The Daemon Prince bellowed and smote her, lifeless, to the ground. Then he stalked away, the power sword still trapped within his flesh.

A daemon prince kills two Canonesses. Justfy this, /tg/.

If they were marine captains this wouldn't been written this way, Why does GW hate the Sisters?

Worth noting that Canonesses aren't the Gene Sons of the Emperor and lack their durability.

Is that a departure from the old lore then?

In the old lore, they mentioned a brilliant Imperial battlefleet commander that was noted for having defeated several Chaos fleets far larger than his own force, allowing the Imperium to maintain superiority in orbit and the space around Cadia.

I dont really get you brah.
But melta vets in chimeras backed by a platoon blob and some artillery/tanks is always good.

>In the muster field, Marshal Amalrich prepared another assault against the looming Vicanthrus. One had already failed, hurled back by the enfilading fire of the Baneblade’s Havoc escorts, but as Vicanthrus’ turret swung to bear on the aegis lines of the Cadian 8th, the Black Templars gathered themselves for another attempt.

>Vicanthrus’ turret locked into position, but didn’t fire. The super-heavy tank froze in position like some great metal beast locked in the throes of confusion. Then, at an unseen command, its weapons blazed to life. Not at the Black Templars of the Cruxis Crusade. Not at the Cadian 8th. But at its own compatriots. The warriors of the Black Legion never stood a chance. Vicanthrus’ sponson-mounted weaponry shredded the Havocs who moments before had preserved it from Amalrich’s fury. The turret swung about onto a new bearing, the heavy shells ripping apart an Alpha Legion Predator spearhead as if their hulls were forged of glass.

>For a heartbeat, neither side knew what to make of the sudden betrayal. None had marked the cloaked figure who ducked briefly from the shadow of a ruined bastion, a flood of silvery nanomachines flowing from his hand and into the crannies of Vicanthrus’ armour. That heartbeat was all Creed required. At his bellow, the heart of the 8th marched for the breached command bastion. The slaughtered Whiteshields and Battle Sisters told a gruesome tale, and one boding ill for those who had fought so hard for Cadia.

So mindshackle scarabs still mindcontrol people. Can anyone explain to me why they only cause fear on the TT?
