Why does Ultramarines Orbital Assault trigger people? Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?
>>
>>51230502
Because stormbolters on drop pods give a free interlocking target
And we see so much of it in 40k
>>
>>51230502
>Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?
Yeah I thought so. The only good things they have are Suzerains and Guillimans, mostly.
The copied stuff is somewhat too expensive to compensate their enhanced rules.
>>51230542
Ohh that's right
So completely different to having a Rhino as a DT
>>
>>51230502
>Why does Ultramarines Orbital Assault trigger people?
probably because it works well with their interlocking tactics rules

>Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?
yeah

>>51230502
It's annoying to deal with. Unlike 40k, there's typically a lack of skyfire and interceptor in the average 30k list.

The /HHG/ Discord is starting a Podcast! We're looking for speakers with wide interests and some measure of social ability that can hold a conversation without umming and ahing once a sentence.

Do YOU think you can be a speaker, if so send us an audition! Is there something else you could offer to the glorious Emperor's podcast, editing, research, hot juicy topics? Let us know in the Podcast_Development channel!

Need your name given a chapter appropriate colour? Simply message @Haugesen with your preference!

Calth. The full might of the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers are there, including their primarchs.

The Word Bearers surprise the Ultramarines during the planning of attacks on the Ork menace, and manage to slaughter the Ultramarines to a man after hard fought battles, Guilliman is on his last legs, and Lorgar, fully empowered by the Chaos Gods stands victorious, his maul raised to end Guilliman's life.


When suddenly, a warp portal opens, revealing a crusading fleet of the Ultramarines 2nd company, as well as several other Ultramarine descended chapter, led by THE Cato Sicarius himself, who manages to duel Lorgar to a standstill and save Big Papa Smurf's life, all while speaking of the greatness of I, Cato Sicarius! And how I, Cato Sicarius, am the only one who could ever save the life of the Primarch all while being able to fix the timeline and ensure the power of the Ultramarines remains the greatest!

The end.

So, I considered it worth the hassle of removing iconography and got a set of Sanguinary Guard to convert as jetpack Palatine Blades (because I'm a poor bitch and can't get FW). And right now, aside from needing to find some manner of bit to use as kneepads, I'm liking how they're coming out.

Probably make sure this scenario never happened?

Without initial parity of Legions, and the knowledge he could tie up some loyalists while shattering others, he would never have revealed his treason in the first place.

2x Blackshield Marauders 205pts

+20 Astartes Shotguns
+1 Melta Bomb
1x Legion Rapier Destroyer (40pts)


Obviously 500 points isn't ideal, but I'm drafting a series of lists from 500-3000 ect, Planning purchases around each price point so I can always have a fall back.

Ideally I'm purchasing models that can fulfill a variety of roles or have a place in each and every single list.

Undeniably this.

You have to either get a lot of tanks (££££) or a lot of dudes (£££££) or both (£££££££££££££££££), lots of people just cannot afford to make the army to begin with, in a similar fashion you won't see many DKoK players.

Bring an Infernus and some Malcadors as HS, have your troops in what are basically flareshielded vindicators but then with 5 HP, and take some lightnings with kraken to pop spartans. Who needs friends (or willing opponents) anyway.

Don't forget a grand marshal so you can pick the "Whole army is shrouded turn one including fucking superheavies"

The Custodes were around before the Unification of Terra was complete, and therefore before the pact with Mars. They weren't going to switch to Martian tech just because it was better - they were already used to what they had, and since they're the Emperor's bodyguard he probably wants their stuff built somewhere more trustworthy than Mars. In this era it isn't really part of the Imperium (not until the Mechanicum becomes the Adeptus Mechanicus, with a seat among the High Lords of Terra) - it's an ally. So no volkites.

The Terrawatt clan had a lot of fancy equipment. Too fancy to mass produce, so only the Custodes get it.

Zone Mortalis 1000 Points

Legiones Astartes (Dark Angels)

>HQ:
Legion Champion - Combi-grenade laucher w/Stasis Shells, Melta Bombs, Artificer Armour, Refractor Field, MC Terranic Greatsword (140pts)
>Troop:
Legion Tactical Squad (15 men) - CCWs, Vexilla - Sergeant Combi-gl w/Stasis Shells, M-Bombs, A-Armour, Calibanite Warblade (253pts)
>Elite:
Legion Veteran Squad (10 men) - 2xMLw/Stasis Shells, 3xPower Weapon - Sergeant M-Bombs, A-Armour, Calibanite Warblade (275pts)
Contemptor-Cortus Dreadnought - switch TLHB for Chainfist (145pts)
>Heavy Support:
Legion Heavy Support Squad (6 men) - Heavy Bolters w/Molecular Acid Shells (185pts)

Points total: 998/1000

Any suggestions? The c-weapon on the Champion may be redundant, but I'd like to be able to switch him between squads or run him alone when opportunity presents itself.
HS squad could be switched out for TacSupport w/Plasma Repeaters.
The single opponent so far will be running World Eaters, mostly Tacs, a squad of Terminators and a single Boxnought.

The death guard vs salamander throwdown on Nocturne. The salamanders still win, but through warfare and having actual military defences on their homeworld, not through giant flamethrowers, convenient earthquakes and the wildlife turning up to punch all the DG tanks like that one scene in Avatar.

But some Marines existed during the Unification Wars as well and they switched to Martian stuff. I can understand Custodes wanting to at least have Terran stuff as backup, but surely having best of the best stuff to use would have been optimal. Marines, Army, etc. didn't have any qualms about using Martian stuff.

Are Custodes gonna be 100% Terran stuff with nothing in their arsenal made off Terra? So what's so great about Mars if Terra can make all the cool shit themselves?

Do you find the FW autocannons fit the plastic MkIII reasonably well?
>>
>>51235880
I have a stack of resin and plastic MKIII, and both flavors of autocannons. From what I can tell, with a little bit of dryfitting the plastics have a much easier time holding either version, or any heavy weapon I think, as the forearms are a little smaller.

>>51235813
Terra stuff being more awesome seems to be a recent thing. It used to be that during the Age of Strife terra was ravaged by constant wars for dimishing resources, and as a result countless technologies and relics were lost. And then you also had the Techpriests of Mars mounting raids to steal what little technology was left.
But now it's suddenly "Terra had all the superior technology all along !"

Volkite also was barely understood, even Techpriests have trouble maintaining and repairing volkite weaponry. Bolters are just waaaay more reliable, like the AK 47 of the grimdark

>>51235813
>So what's so great about Mars if Terra can make all the cool shit themselves?
Production capacity. Terra's resources and space are exhausted and Mars can call upon old pacts with other forge worlds, a luxury Terra never had. Even Luna's better for marine production facilities.
That said, Terran weaponry is more destructive than anything Mars can or will produce, Warp-based guns and such.

>>51235908
It seems alot more of it has to do with Big.E at least knowing how alot of terran technology is made.

Not all the cool toys are Terran by any stretch; Terra made no titans, no volkite, completely lacked the industrial base for the amount of arms needed for a galactic conquest, it's tanks aren't made frames that just use shielding instead and they sure as hell don't have anything like Automata and fucking Puslar-Fusils.
>>
>>51235908
Where does it say volkites were barely understood and they had trouble repairing and maintaining them?

Also, so what if the bolter is more reliable, Custodes are not your standard front line troops. It's like comparing hot-shot lasguns and lasguns. Hot-shots require far more maintenance and care, but offer more bang. That's why stormies use them, because of the bang. They can live with the downsides because they're not expected to suffer through the same stuff regular guardsmen are. So Custodes using more powerful volkites, even if they're harder to maintain, should be obvious.

But they don't because they used bolters in all the old material and it's the iconic weapon, even when FW introduced the volkite out of their ass and made it be the best. What is it with FW and their fucking waifus? Volkites are the best, tartaros are the best, SA are the best...

I never said bolter is better than volkite. Warp shit is better when you want to annihilate something.

They're pretty decent. Their legion rule is +1 to wound in assault, which is a good deal more reliable than what a lot of other legions get. They have a decent RoW which makes you take all the jump packs and DS them T1, which gets you +1I on the charge. Their special weapon is AP2, two-handed, and doubles your wound pool. That makes it arguably the best of the bunch, especially once you factor in that you'll probably be striking first and wounding on 3s, and an absolute rape-train against multi-wound models and troops alike. Some people will try to argue that they read a post on a forum by a guy who knows a guy who spoke to Bligh at an event one time, and he said he said he said it works in some way which directly contradicts RAW. Ignore them. They can also replace any heavy flamer with an assault cannon for a modest price, and take inferno pistols instead of plasma pistols. Their only real downside is that they have to take more infantry than tanks, and it'll be ages before they get their special units and characters. Even so, Sanguinius is widely expected to be an absolute monster as he's the only primarch who's supposed to be able to take down pre-chaos Horus.

Ooh, those look nice. Not a particular fan of the Chainblades myself, but I can see them being useful sometimes. So far my army plan is two Thallax Destructor cohorts (I have enough Rending), a kitted out Archmagos Reductor, some Enginseers, two or three artillery tanks, a Macrocarid and three Destructors to go in it, two Vorax because they're cool and the giant horde of an allied detachment at 2.5k. To go up to 3000, it's either a Knight and another Magos/some unit padding, or a Baneblade variant of some kind.

Fluff is a Reductor fleet with a strong Biologis presence aligned with Xana, so obviously mental experiments as cloned cannon fodder as opposed to Scoria's daemonic robot shock troopers.

Whatever the first battle that the word bearers were involved in, and i'd end it with Logar, Erebus, Kor Gayron and anyone else who's jerking it to chaos porn getting utterly buttfucked.

Then the Emperor turns up and says "Well lads i'd better tell you about Chaos and my super secret science project back on earth which is the entire reason i'm making Horus the warmaster but it needs to be a secret so don't get all fucking bent out of shape over it"

He'd then get Horus on the down-low and make sure he gets the furries and the nerds to fight on different fronts so they don't end up slaughtering each other over a prank phone call.

Humanity wins, Chaos kept in their own realm, Eldar captured and turned into waifus and by the time the Necrons and the Tyranids turn up, we're in with a fighting chance.

Twelve Str 6 shots with rending at BS 5 can chew through almost anything, and it's only 180 points

>>51240232
I'm pretty sure the quad gun is way better.

>>51240157
On this note, for a double-autocannon dreadnought is it worth paying the extra 30 points for a contemptor chassis? The standard mortis dreadnought seems pretty appealing for its points.

The only possible issue with the double Kheres is a shorter interceptor range. You have to be in the right spot, or use it to force a plane to a side of the board you want it on.

Busy-ish, but a bare hint of golden tint isn't too bad
>>Should I keep the red on his thigh?
No, you should have gone red on the kneepad instead
>> plasma on the alpha legion, should I do it bright green, or bright orange
Orange, because im biased for orange, aka the best colour

I think it's half politics (Mars is only an ally, not completely trusted) and half production capabilities. It sounds like only one Terran clan had kept that fancy stuff going.

The Dark Angels keep using Terran wargear in the FW rules, implying that there wasn't enough for all the legions once they grew.

>>51241027
Ok, how much of that 40k SW stuff is actually usable in 30k? Because tartaros terminators and MkIV TS seem like perfectly fine in a 30k setting.

How? The Dark Angels didn't do anything at Terra.

>>51236157
Their rules are very good, but the 40k FAQ limiting meltabomb use hurts them because it means you can't depend on assault squads for anti-tank duties - and their primary Rite of War encourages you to go assault squad-heavy.

Was briefly discussed earlier, but my Mechanicum are an Ordo Reductor fleet with an extremely high number of Genetors/Biologis, whose purpose was to discover, study and kill Xenos beasts and species that proved troublesome during the Great Crusade. When the Heresy broke out they were on Xana studying the ursids there, and while they stayed there they adapted the armour plating into their vehicles (and also heraldry, in thanks to Xana for shelter). When the Incursion hit and Scoria made his grab for power, many of the Organicist Genetors supported him, causing a parallel coup aboard the warships. Fascinated by the nature of the "Dead" assault during the Incursion, they develop and make use of large numbers of cloned monstrosities and viruses in counterpoint to Scoria's mechanical abominations.

Gamewise I'm just starting to put the army together, and wondering over the conversion work I want to do. Also colours. Lots of Nid parts, obviously. Thinking of having some converted "Spore mine" Cyber-Occularis and biological shells stacked on the medusae gunnery platforms. Crypt Ghoul levy tarpits, and not sure what to do for Magi yet. Anyone have any good ideas for colour schemes or converting? Something whitish, with Nihilakh Oxide for cool "antiseptic" blue weathering on metal?

Thing is, I want it to look "Mad Science put to warfare" not Tyranids or Nurgle, so not full bio-abomination on the vehicles or personnel that are sentient and not robots or chaff, ect.
