IA14 is either going to nerf the shit out of the 30k stuff, causing all the AdMech players to whine, or it will get printed in all its OP glory, meaning that nobody is going to play against it.
>>
Building a Dark Biologis Admech army using the 30k rules, need some bio-bits. Getting a Nid Armoured Assault box for small bio-guns, crushing claws and some other stuff. What are the best Tyranid kits in terms of options and modularity and such? Would be nice to have a source of parts on hand to use when I think they'd look good, rather than having to plan everything out exactly. Also,, I need greenstuff and plasticard. Any good online stores to get that from the UK, or can I just Amazon it along with the magnets?

They could nerf the Triaros down to an oversized Rhino and I'd still be glad to get a dedicated transport.
>>
>>51377979
Well, some of it could use a little nerf, but looking at the Chaos stuff from them in IA13 they're decent at doing ports like this. They have the Castellax, Thallax and Vulturax decent and hopefully the Macrocarid and I'll be happy.

>>51377988
I always wondered why they didn't implement the Ork Klans more into the game, like giving double movement if you're part of Evil Sunz.

It's a 15/12/12 transport (Lots of people seem to forget that Flare Shields only work on the front arc) with no fire points.

It's good, but no way near cheese levels.

This may be obvious but the rule about a bike HQ allowing bikes as troops. Does that apply across the whole army or just the formation the HQ is in?

>>51378157
20 transport capacity, built-in regeneration and a way to drive weaker units over like roadkill is plenty strong. Wouldn't be surprised if they changed it in some way.
>>
>>51378157
It also has excellent firepower, super mega ram, 20 man transport capacity, and built-in reroll DT.

It's OP as fuck, but I don't really expect AdMech players to admit it. They still try to pretend their army isn't excellent post-FAQ.

The 6+ IWND might go, but removing the shock ram would be too far, it's part of the model. Replace the Volkite chargers with something more 40k suitable (It's supposed to be locked up 30k tech anyway so Volkite would make sense but people would whine so eh)

Excellent firepower? It's one twin-linked Mauler Bolt cannon and a couple Volkite culverins, pretty much the same level of firepower you could expect to be shot out of your average transport.
>>
>>51378205
Don't see a problem with Volkite. The Tech-Priest Dominus has it, wouldn't be out of the question that they'd use Volkite weaponry for planetary defense on their Forgeworlds, which is where IA 14 takes place.

are hellions decent at all?

You basically get 10 for free with the new box game

It just seems like they would be ok if they didnt hog precious FA slots

I'm talking firepower from the firepoints that most vehicles have and this doesn't.

And yeah, it's good and could actually make Electro Priests semi-viable but it's not the king of transports, I've only seen them used in 2 battles and they pretty much just functioned like any other transport, move shit from A-B whilst taking pot shots at shit on the way.

fantasy chaos warriors, I quit fantasy shortly after 8th made my khornate warriors terrible because of absolutely no magic defense and magic being OP.
Also magical terrain was completely retarded.
Those models are also all reposed at the legs, I hate the squatting position GW puts all marines in.
>>
>>51378181
Remember that's a lot less effective in 40k where for the most part there's no convenient 20 man unit for it to carry about, although a whole bunch of Peltasts in that thing would be fairly scary. It's good, but it's also an £80 Forge World toy. Not many people will be running around with more than one or two tops.

Personally I want a Macrocarid. Nicely big enough for some Kataphrons and an Inquisitor, or a Skitarii squad, nice armour, cool grav roof gun and Torrent Fleshbane AP3 templates as a sponson choice. Also worth more than 1.5 points per GBP.

Probably going to have my Vulturax and Castellax converted up then, which means I can take less deathstary Cybernetica and that adorable flyer to fix quite a lot of problems with the army.

Does anybody think they will release the Triumvirate as individual models?

In my experience they tend to release group things but then repackage them individually after a couple months.

I just want some confirmation other people think this way to quell my anxiety about not getting it right now as I do not really want giant robot man and to foot the extra $20-30 for the privilege of owning a model I will never paint.

Sisters weren't popular enough to get a plastic release back in the day, and never have been. That's why they stayed metal, and why they will stay metal unless GW decides to surprise reboot the faction.
>>
>>51378508
Buy the models(s) you like from Ebay, or buy the Triumvirate and sell the one(s) you don't want/split it with a friend.

There, done.

>>51378389

There was debate about which was better in 4th edition. The cost of both are a relic from that age.
Back then, the plasma pistol:

>Let you charge afterwards
>Gave the +1 attack in assault, back when assault armies were king

They are actually not too shabby on the offensive side of things. Decent amount of poison shots and s4 melee attacks with FC later and possible s5 from drugs make them okay when dropping the hurt. However, they have tshirt for saves and are t3 so unless you're deepstriking them, they will likely be giving away first blood turn 1. My verdict? Use with extreme caution.

As for the FA slots problem, just run the realspace raider detachment. 6 FA slots is more than enough outside of 2k++ games.

what is his actual model?
>>
>>51378535
Back in 3rd everyone had at least their troop choice in plastic.
The only exceptions where DH and WH.

While the rest of the armies where getting plastic kits and new models.

It is a case of models didn't sold because they where already old and expensive. They continue to this day to be the oldes un updated army.

TL:DR SoB when 3rd was release and WH codex was release they already had old models.
>>
>>51378534
I won't be surprised if GW doesn't do marketing research. They don't have easy access to the kind of data they need (playtesting data, who plays what and in what percentages) and are really only working with whatever feedback they get from their stores in the form of sales and possibly manager feedback (likelihood: unlikely).

If they'd run more events, they'll get a better idea on things, but right now they are pretty handsoff about market research which limits the data sets they are working with
>>
>>51378669
Yes, and why didn't they get a plastic release in 3rd? They did not sell well enough. I mean fuck, the codex hit at the tail end of 2nd, you'd think if there was ever a time they'd have been popular it'd have been back then.

Sistersfags need to stop deluding themselves into thinking anyone but them cares about their faction.

If that was true just kill the faction and stop this nonsense then.

They have done it at least 4 times already with different armies and even killed entire games.

Why not do it with SoB?

>>51378788
Hold onto your models and hopes, if 40k is getting a reboot one of the first armies to get revised are Orks

I would like to switch from my marine list to playing dark eldar so I can experiance the game from the strongest to the least forgiving.

My question is, would it be good to start buying my army the eldar triumvirate box and gangs of commoragh/start collecting?

Almost always the answer to this question is 'more Trueborn'. Scourges are good too if you prefer them, but personally I feel like blasterborn offer more effectiveness.

Building most good Dark Eldar lists, at least with the base codex and in my experience, has very little variety sadly. You're either going to want to bring more Kabalites, Trueborn, Reavers or Scourges. Most other units aren't really worth your time, unless you're running corpse thief claw, which you should generally do if you can.

Basically, just work towards solid army redundancy and you should be building as effectively as you can with Deldar.
>>
>>51378800
It's also not an average 30-60 point transport but costs 135 points and is supposed to be a middle-ground between Land Raiders and Rhinos.
>>
>>51378788
Because having 2 wounds is massively overvalued in a lot of cases for infantry. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.

Nob Wargear prices in general are basically all a wash though. You're better off with Mega-armor versions for assaulting, or normal bike squads for shooting.
>>
>>51378821
the imperial triumvirate is definitely not an army box, its 3 snowflakes
>>
>>51378816
tac marines arent even good tho
>>
>>51378845
Oh shit I forgot Hellions come in boxes of 5 so Gangs actually includes 2 boxes worth of them.
So the models value is actually £79 and you actually save £44.
>>
>>51378829
Jesus, there are too many rules and rolls to make when setting up and playing a game.
But after scanning the rulebook, you can have any combination of any detachments you want.
>>
>>51378863
its not legal in 40k though right?
>>
>>51378535
>Sisters weren't popular enough to get a plastic release back in the day, and never have been.

Thats bullshit. Grey Knights didn't get a plastic release back in the day either, and they didn't become popular until they went plastic.

Metal models are off-putting to customers, and Finecast is even worse, and still people will buy SoB. They're the worst supported army in the entire setting, and people are willing to invest in them.

If GW doesn't see money in plastic SoBs then that is because they're fucktards. They didn't think anyone wanted Mechanicus models or 30K either. They're incompetent businessmen who mistake the massive appeal of their product for evidence that they're decisions are good.
>>
>>51378888
We've literally been discussing about if it's going to be in IA 14 or not.
>>
>>51378821
Gangs of Commoragh alongside start collecting might be a bit heavy on reavers, and you'll have a ton of fast attack units with the hellions with it.

Hellions aren't too great compared to the other options in that slot. I would say 2 start collecting boxes might be the better purchace.

There's no clue as to how the Trimverate box will be, but you'll probably want to start smaller than going for 3 likely 200 point HQs.
>>
>>51378534
I remember GW doing a market research.
About EIGHT years ago.
It was basically "what kind of non-wargame products do you want us to make?"

Guy from previous couple threads ago last night who had orks and sallies and wanted to start a new army.

It has come to my attention that a country with a huge population in asia has started producing warhammer "tribute" models.

I was curious what the best way to search for these is on google as it seems most Aliexpress sellers have shut down.

Was thinking of getting 2-3 start collecting eldar boxes and a "tribute" wraith knight and warp spiders or just "tribute aspect warriors. The one thing turning me away from eldar was the cost of old finecast aspect warriors.

Alternatively they seem to have lots of Tau stuff cheap if I wanted to do Farsight.

How bad of an idea is this?

For my Guard I usually take a ML1 IA Astroapth to put with heavy weapons quads to use Prescience, but I always bring a ML2 version with Infantry Blobs and Conscripts. If I bring Bullgryn, I run a Primaris Psyker with Biomancy.

But yeah, they are amazing. I usually have about 4 in my army. Psychic Shriek is amazing, so are Guard blobs with Forewarning. 4++ on 30-40 models and 4++ re-rollable in close combat. Invisibility and Shrouding are also fuck yeah if you get them.

Biomancy is super fun with Bullgryn though if you manage to get Endurance. They just never die.

I have. Primaris, and I snagged the old Inquisitor Coteaz model from a friend, but I just hate the look of the Wyrdvane psyker models. They're usually better as ICs anyway.

What makes Guard so great with Blessings is the same thing that makes them great with Orders. With one dice roll you can give a buff to SO MANY models!

GW was actually going to squat them, it's Andy Chambers fault they got into Codex: Witch Hunters.

>>51379606
Vanguard are just more effective as a core unit. I usually have two 5 man units of Rangers sat somewhere where they can get good fire-arcs with their two transuranic arquebi.

Other than that, I don't see what use they are. Their rifles are good, but not as good as cancer guns and they don't knock a point of T off of anyone who attacks them either. Move through cover is meh and not worth their increased points, at least as a unit to build your army around.

You may want to look towards some fantasy kits, maybe look towards a bits site to just some more simple stuff like axes, swords, and spikier helmets

Outside of a more long-range gunline style army, I think Vanguard are usually the better option, and if you're being mobile, you'll want more of them instead.

>>51379680
Agreed. Orders plus Psychic Powers is amazingly fun. What's also nice is that if you have a big blob Guard squad dedicated to melee or counter attacking, you can put in an Imperial Agents Priest with Book of St Lucius to make him auto pass his War Hymns. Sure, it's only one per army, but if that's the dedicated anti-melee unit, that's the unit to get the auto War Hymns. Especially if they get Forewarning. You could also be extra spicy and get a Xenos Inquisitor with all those bonus grenades, lowering the enemies toughness. Or you could get that one Inquisitor upgrade that requires a Leadership test to give the unit bonuses like Counter-Attack.

I regret not buying the old Coteaz warband back when I played Witch Hunters in 3rd. I've been using old Inquisitor models as Astropaths and Primaris Psykers. I think I'll just get the Wyrdvane Psyker models and count them as both. Maybe painting them different colors to show the difference.

First, check if your opponent can actually move, run, and charge out of their transports, because often they probably won't have enough reach.

Second, you need more Melta dominions or heavy flamer teams to help pop transports and burn assault units.

You also may need to try backing up to try and deny him just enough charge range. Putting some difficult terrain in between you can help.

Also, try Exorcists for long-range firepower.

Yeah. The problem with marines is more due to how cheap high volume AP 2 shooting is nowadays.

Honestly every ap 3 ranged weapon should double in cost and every ap 2 weapon triple. If they got templates, increase the multiplicator by one.
>>
>>51380344
I miss when Assault was king.
You could still survive in a metal box if shooty enough but at least 3+ and 2+ saves meant something.
Even when all power weapons were AP2 Terminators seemed decent.

4+ Infantry isn't nearly as overcosted as 3+ infantry and AP4 weaponry is usually shitty already (Heavy Bolters, Autocannons)
>>
>>51380446
>tfw your Ren Vets will never get to save a wound becasue everything is AP4
Why
>>
>>51380428
There are so few AP 3 weapons as it is, and most of them are already quite overcosted for what they do.

Some AP 2 weapons are similarly fine, but pretty much any AP 2 weapon that gets more than 2 shots either needs to be a lot more expensive or have it trimmed down.

>>51380441
Yeah, that's basically it. Armor saves don't mean anything thanks to more powerful shooting, so now it's all about cover saves, invlun saves, and feel no pain, which is harder to ignore.

Of course ignores cover, instant death, and things that ignore invuln saves are only getting more common.

The Eldar don't have the numbers. Even if Slaanesh went poof tomorrow, the Eldar would be in no position to take back the galaxy. perhaps if all the Eldar subfactions reunited they'd have a fighting chance, but even then it wouldn't be anything that would be happening soon.

Besides, with Slaanesh out of the way, the Dark Eldar would be free to completely revert back to their ancient hedonistic ways. They'd sit around in the webway and do fuck all unless the mood took them.

5 Devastators with Grav cost as much as 6 Heavy Weapon Teams with Laser Cannons, or if you factor in the platoon tax (which is still useful) 3 Laser Canons and 25 scoring bodies.

'12 inch movement' doesn't really mean anything when you're talking about vehicles. Most vehicles can move up to 12" in the movement phase anyway.

Assuming you mean (a) all non-walker, non-flier vehicles become fast vehicles and (b) all walkers move like super-heavy walkers, then battlewagons become much better, deff dreads become good enough that you might take them if they didn't use battlewagon slots, killa kans and the morka/gorkanaut are better, but probably not good enough to take in a competitive game, trukks become out-competed by battlewagons, buggies stay about the same because it isn't their speed which makes them good.

If the planes could slow down to 12" combat speed, that would be a significant buff for the shooty ones.

Marines are only good because cheese, not because their statline. They get access to so much freeshit and the most broken infantry guns in the game.

Even at their height, it seems the Eldar didn't directly control and colonise the galaxy like Humans do.

The DAoT, with Humanity spreading out and colonising all over the galaxy, coincides with the Eldar Empire. I guess when you can create custom paradise dimensions in the Webway, the material universe can be a bit messy and bland to colonise, hence why the Exodites were seen as such kooks for going out and digging the mud to found actual colonies.

Without Slaanesh, I doubt the Eldar would suddenly conquer the galaxy in sort of pointy-eared version of the Great Crusade.

Craftworlders just don't have the numbers to challenge the Imperium, and won't for a long time, even with Slaanesh forcing them to limit births to soulstone availability.

Exodites will carry on doing what they do; being irrelevent.

And Commorites will just continue what they do, although I imagine real-space raids would dramatically increase due to the threat of having their soul nommed being removed, but still no real annexing of territory outside of the Webway.

Getting you soul nommed isn't an issue for them as long as they have slaves to torture, and they won't change their way of life because Slaanesh is dead (they didn't change it when shi appeared in the first place,so...). They got sex, drugs, and rock & roll, they're already living the dream.

Not to mention the eldar subfactions mostly hate each other.
>>
>>51380848
Oops, translation fuckup, Wraithknights
>>
>>51380834
I think in some ways Deldar raids might actually decrease, as the reason they raid in the first place is to top off their souls for Slaanesh. They may spend more time there, but they'll probably just sit in the webway for the most part now that they don't need to go to such extremes just to survive.

I feel the Eldar may have largely learned their lesson and not go full pre-fall insanity, but they'll probably still loosen up a fair bit as they rebuild their population.

Having large numbers of AP 2 weapons floating around hurts everyone. It makes vehicles easier to blow up, and it denies everyone armor. It doesn't make things better when such things can also ignore cover or are giant pieplates to clear out hordes as well.

Shooting being too strong is a universal problem. Guns have only gotten better and cheaper as things have gone on. Grav is a culprit there, but not all marines get grav.

The real issue isn't "lots of AP 2" per SE, it's that there are weapons like grav and D stuff that are good at everything. Theoretically you should have to make choices and sacrifices when you choose which weapons to bring. Boone complains about Lascannons because their single shot and high cost mean they have obvious weakness against certain targets. GW used to have things in a pretty good spot even when people spammed LasPlas. But new toys have fucked things up.

Seems like GW dropped the whole elves hate other factions of elves along time ago. These days it's more like odd relatives coming together when needed. You've got the one that went to school and keeps a schedule really well, the drugged out satanist, and the one that got really into theatre.

Being in a position where they can hang out in real space, develop psykers again and return to the halcyon glory days of Pre-Fall Eldar fuckery, I feel like even the most self absorbed dark eldar would have some interest in doing it, even if they need to coexist with craftworlders.

It depends on how the rule is written. That kind of thing was mostly used before detachments became a thing so they say 'army' which means it affects your entire force. Anything written after detachments were introduced probably says 'detachment', but you need to check the rule. Also, using it the first way without your opponent's permission is probably being a dick and your next codex is likely going to remove the option of moving stuff to a new battlefield role in favour of formations allowing you to take more of a unit without the usual troops and hq.

>>51379019
It's actually one of the better units in the codex, so probably not more than 5 points overcosted at the moment. Although virtually any unit that you can put in it is overcosted by at least 10 points.

>>51379798
Bolt Action infantry are nice and small, which makes your marines look appropriately sized next to them but still 'heroic scale'. The nazi ones are a decent match for some of the older chaos artwork. Just need to give them the usual spikes, swap the weapons for something more high-tech, etc.

Frostgrave cultists look fucking fantasic, but need shooty weapons, although you will need to find them for pretty much anyone you choose.

Wargames Factory do some greatcoat guys who actually come with space weapons, but they are kind of stumpy-legged, even compared to GW. Possibly a good choice to mix and match with the frostgrave cultists, as they have a lot of spare guns.

WF also do some modern day / post-apocalypse 'survivors', but they are pricey and apart from the bike gang look a bit too current to blend in to the 40k setting without significant conversion work.

>>51380178
You realise that marines are way more survivable than those ~5 point troop choices, right? Yes, they die to high-strength, low-ap weapons, but those usually cost a lot of points. They just get used a lot because people playing orks, guard, etc. are relatively rare.

Play a space marine army before you talk faggot. Your 6 point models may suck but at least they're only 6 points. Try picking up 14, 20, and 35 point models off the table with no save allowed

It's like you dumb faggots hate marines so much you don't even notice the tau and Eldar actually ruining the game

Well, the two twin-linked Kataphron Destroyer squads (Also troops, and now sometimes BS6 because Cawl) can probably handle another 2 with buffs, Cawl himself can slowly kill another one if he can reach melee or drop a -1T on it and melta, my Kastelans can back one into a corner and steal it's lunch money while pelting it with S6 that can light it up for the Kataphrons and the Knight Warden can do much the same thing and then run about smacking any that haven't died yet in the face.
Infiltrators can horribly bully some marker drones and feel sidelined, Ruststalkers can gleefully Zealot into one and shave a few woulds off before dying and the Dragoons can tarpit the fuck out of them as they have to slowly smash through a 2HP 45pt walker that they hit on a 5.

Only problem is reaching them, but hopefully we will soon have Land Raider equivalents mounting Grav and AP3 torrent and Dune Trains of glorious 145 pts.

>>51381359

Personally I throw in a couple Inquisitors, since Coteaz fixes a lot of problems and an Ordo Xenos with grenades makes a nice addition to a countercharge Sicarian squad.

I do kind of want to make some brain-in-a-jar Magi or something for a cool fluffy Librarius Conclave, but that would be a bit of a dick move.
>>
>>51381462
No, vanilla marines are ruining the game too. It's just that they're doing so with Gravspam and busted formations.

The only difference between Marines, Eldar, and Tau is that it's actually possible to build a shitty Space Marine list.
>>
>>51380876

Eldar and daemons have more tops than vanilla. I like how you faglords say marine when you mean vanilla only when talking about cheese but when talking about releases suddenly even GK and DW and even fucking CSM count.

well seeing as guardians have a 5+, and vangaurd are 3 points less than a marine, so take a guess.

though vangaurd also would follow what i said, save a different point cost

Back home, we call that moving goalposts.
The size of the SoB's playerbase isn't relevant to this argument.Unless you think marines should get more advantages because they're the most played of all armies, but deep down I know you're not that kind of faggot.

Which both those armies feature in droves

>>51381508
Yes. A problem exacerbated by the fact that their default equipment is trash and you need to buy upgrades for them to do anything at all yet they already cost 30 points base, for a troops choice.

my first army was nids. Can you imagine going from upper-mid teir to what we have now

Pretty much everything right now in 40k is a mistake. We haven't had anything BUT mistakes since 6th edition.

Oh and do IG/miltemp/Skitarii get orders?

>>51381550
For the charge thing, just give both sides half an attack, that should balance things out, no?
>>
>I can't remember the last time Warriors were actually really worth using, except maybe a brief segment of 6e when Nids got BRB psychic powers and you could give them Endurance or so.

5th ed? Slow anti-infantry in a game of mass light mech.

4th ed? Nidzilla, you took Carnifex Elites. Maybe 3rd ed? Except you cared more about mass rending and the odd weapon beast here and there. And back then they had 2 wounds and couldn't even take Power Weapons.

Skitarii get Doctrina Imperatives which fuck about with their BS/WS states.

Yeah, because a Crisis will roll to save on something that allows no save on a MEQ.
Or like termies are overpriced compared to the 2+ choices in other armies.
>>
>>51381439
The problem isn't that marines die to high str low ap (str 6 ap 3 is hardly difficult to get btw) it's that they get out shot by fuckng everyone. Even gaunts with flesh borers can get 60+ shots from one squad, anything with high numbers will also destroy marines through averages. Plus all the fuckng rending I n the game now, it's ridiculous.

No. The best thing to buy for a new CSM player is a couple of Desolator Squads, their Armored Assault Box. That will gives you dudes and transporta for the CSM in your Chaos Warband as well as more dudes to convert into Havocs and potentially Chosen. Normal CSM + Forgeworld weapon packs are the best way to do Havocs these days.

Most of them. And generally if their missing something it's only one. Plus those are completely arbitrary. Tau have neither psykers nor standard BS 4 and still do JUST fine.

>>51380493
>Armor saves don't mean anything thanks to more powerful shooting...
That 'more powerful shooting' isn't free. It's just used as much as possible because 3+ save models are so fucking efficient that everyone takes them. Just look at some of the hideous shit which a force optimised against hordes can use; have you seen how fucking cheap whirlwinds are.

>Of course ignores cover, instant death, and things that ignore invuln saves are only getting more common.

Ignores cover is fucking rare on anything AP 3 and all that shit affects everyone except marines more.

>>51380525
>...can load up on more special weapons point-to-point.

Special weapons are only desirable because they are one of the few things that go through 3+ saves. Plasma guns cost more than a marine to turn a guardsman into something that can almost kill marines as fast as a marine with a boltgun can kill guardsmen.

>>51380724
>Remember when Marine Infantry didn't give free Razorbacks? Nobody used them, everything was scouts or bikes.
Yeah, because the fact other units in your codex are overpowered totally proves that the rest is weak.

>It takes 600 points of free shit and global rerolls to make marines on foot good

No, it takes that much free shit to make them as overpowered as every other option they have and allow marines players to continue dominating the entire game.

>Two HWTs have twice as many wounds...
But effectively no armour and low T, making them easy to wipe out with any set-up optimised against them.

>...greater range...
...and no ability to survive if assaulted.

>...will kill most tanks more reliably...
And the grav devastators will kill heavy infantry and monstrous creatures better, which is far more useful in the current metagame.

>...while sitting in a comfortable cover save on an objective

Holding an objective in your own deployment zone isn't difficult. Being troops doesn't help, because OS only matters when the enemy are close and the guard are dead anyway.

>A 3 up save in a meta of firepower that ignores that save is nothing more than a shitty consolation prize.
>>51381024
> that advantage gets taken away

THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE BUY THE AP3 WEAPONS IS BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM TO KILL 3+ SAVE TARGETS.

FORCING YOUR OPPONENT TO DO THINGS TO COUNTER YOUR ADVANTAGE IS STILL AN ADVANTAGE.

>>51381462
>Try picking up 14, 20, and 35 point models off the table with no save allowed
I pay 15 points for burna boyz and lootas which have 6+ saves and barely more offensive capability than a marine. Marine players complained that they were overpowered, while wiping them off the board with whirlwinds. Fuck you and fuck your codex.

>>51381712
>(str 6 ap 3 is hardly difficult to get btw)
Really? What's the cheapest option that gives that and how does it compare to something with say S 4 AP 5 in terms of availability. What army has S 6 AP 3 guns with 24" range on 15 point troops?
>>
>>51381209
SoB pay 2 pts/model less for basically the same troops, get twice as many special weapons, and ride in Razorbacks that have a Twin-Linked gun, Invulnerable save, double the transport capacity, and cost 15 points less. They've got a lot going for them apart from the 3+ save.

That said, 3+ armor really does make a difference, mainly in the fact that it's basically impossible to take meaningful numbers of AP3 templates. Apart from Land Raiders, Heldrakes, Super Heavies, and a certain incredibly cheesy Eldar unit that I'd prefer to pretend doesn't exist, there's not really anything that can wipe entire Power Armored units off the table with no saves allowed. Single target weapons like Plasma and Melta Guns are far less scary to AP3 models than Heavy Flamers are to AP4.
>>
>>51382633

>SoB pay 2 pts/model less for basically the same troops
WS/I3/S3 means melee is almost never an option unless we want to tarpit with out 3+ saves. We're either S4 Ap2 with an Axe, S6 Ap4 with a mace, or S6Ap2 with a Chainfist, which was taken away from everyone but the canoness because reasons. T3 means we take a lot more wounds and thus a lot more saves than Marines against basic weaponry. The the difference there becomes less apparent against Grav/Plasma, which is more of a problem with the abundance of those weapons than the units themselves. Oh, there's also the whole ATSKNF thing.

>get twice as many special weapons, and ride in Razorbacks that have a Twin-Linked gun, Invulnerable save, double the transport capacity, and cost 15 points less. They've got a lot going for them apart from the 3+ save.

For starters, Immolators don't have twice the capacity. They carry 6 models, which is a minimum squad plus an IC if we want one. Second, their weapons are twin linked, but limited to a Heavy Flamer (which isn't fast), Heavy Bolter (yay?), or Multi-Melta. Third, they have a 6+ invulnerable save, which is not something you can rely on ever. However, immolators are good because they also have a firing point.

The fact that we get 2 weapons is a new thing to this Codex. Before, we were limited to 10 model minimum per squad, which was bad because that meant troops had to go in rhinos. Even with getting 2 weapons at 5, we still don't take many vanilla troops. Dominions get 4 specials, Retributers get 4 Heavies, and now we get command squads for our only source of combi-plasma, which cost the same as space Marines base.

We don't get drop pods, we don't get grav, we don't get long range power, we don't get tough units, we don't get Deathstars, we don't get psykers, we don't get jet bikes, we don't get high volume of S6/7 shots, but what we do get, we get a lot of.

We get melta, we get immolators, we get T3 bodies with a 3+ save.
