No one will read lists unless they're posted with Listbuilder any more.

The non-drop pod Sternguard join the Inquisitor and ride up in the Chimera. Classic Chimera (Listbuilder DOESN'T support Inquisition, only IA, so I couldn't list the 5-fire-point one). Acolytes help protect the psykana division, which spends the game summoning daemons. Everything else is pretty self explanatory. Vanguard Vets in the Stormraven, remove kebab all over. The one place I'm really lacking still is anti-AV14 (besides the Stormraven, knight sword, and thunder hammers); any suggestions to shore that up?

Sup /tg/. I just had a 3000 point game today against my buddy, where we both brought Castellans. I talked with him beforehand and let him bring both Space Wolves and Dank Angles in it, although he did go a little far and brought mechanicus with him too. He had a list where he brought 6 different Armies of the Imperium including Imperial Guard, Mechanicus, Deathwatch, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, and Sisters of Battle. He also had a LEVIATHAN named Ranulf Threadcutter, and an identical loadout to FATMAN.

My list consisted of my Space Marines and Rough Riders, but I also brought some Custodians in an Emperor's Shield. My army had like 30 Rough Riders forming the core of it, along with 5 scout squads, 2 scout squads, a Librarian and a Chaplain(as a dreadnought), and 10 Honour Guard.

WE CAVALRY CHARGE THEM WITH 100 ROUGH RIDERS.

>>51387951
And here's my buddy's Leviathan. On turn 1 his leviathan dropped right next to my Sternguard's razorback and blew it right the fuck up, while also tagging one of my Rough Rider squads to half-strength. He also blew up my only Vindicator with a shitload of haywire.

On my first turn, I dropped FATMAN right next to Belisarius Cawl, and his copious amount of guns completely deleted Cawl's retinue of breachers. The entire rest of my army NOPED THE FUCK AWAY from the Leviathan that was now on my right flank, while I sent my Custodians to try and heroically delay it!

I send Saint Celestine to SOLO the entirety of the 100 rough riders with her heavy flamer. Checkmate bitch.

>>51388002
To our surprise, the Custodians managed to hold back the Leviathan Ranulf for FOUR TURNS STRAIGHT. The fuckers just wouldn't die, even with only 2 storm shields in the unit.

Saint Celestine apparently is stupidly good at killing Rough Riders. On turn 2 she shot, charged, and solo'd my second RR squad, all 10 of them.

My Leviathan charged Belisarius on turn 3, and ended up locking combat with him while only dealing a single wound. On my opponent's turn, Saint Celestine Solo'd my third RR squad, leaving me with only 3 rough riders left in my entire army.

The entire remainder of the game was sadly just mop-up for him as my army was then in shambles, and I couldn't bring enough firepower to bear to burn down Celestine. She's just TOO effective of an ablator, and requires an obscene amount of firepower just to deal damage to her.

Because then I'm giving up the points I paid for the bolter special ammo for a mediocre weapon. Like I said, it would be different if I could take a bolt pistol + bolter.

Disallowing Shotgun + bolter also means that you can't go with melta + bolter, plasma + bolter, etc...

Are there any good roman themed chapters of space marines?

I kinda like the look of the Ultramarines. I don't understand why they aren't purple though considering that is considered the color of the Roman Empire.

Blue and gold does look nice but for some reason Ultramarine blue kinda wears on my eyes.

Look up 1d4chan's Matt Ward page. Be warned, it's brimming with some of the most autistic cancer on the entire site.
That's why people hate them, aside from them being the posterboys of the posterboy faction (who gives a shit) and having a rigid set of inflexible guidelines they follow to the letter (except there are chapters that are even more rigid in their application, so...)

Robute Guilliman is a pretty interesting name. Like, it's actually a name, rather than another word for whatever theme animal the legion uses.

They aren't Space Romans though they are modeled on Space America kind of. USA heavily uses Roman "Imperial" style just like a lot of chapters, ex. Dorn's Fists and if you look at 30k models you will see a lot of the crests and the naming of the units is purely roman for most of the 30k legions.

Best Primarch
So one thing I haven't quite looked in to (I really need to read me some BA books) is what is The Flaw? My friend said BA already had the Black Rage and it was Sanguinius that kept it in check... but the Black Rage manifests as trapping a Blood Angel in memories of the Horus Heresy, making the marine think he is Sanguinius himself. I know they always had the Red Thirst and I thought that was the flaw and the Black Rage came later after Horus gave Sanguinius a tickling. Which is it?

Annoyingly, you cannot. However, the Archon and Succubus can take a Venom as a personal dedicated transport, and a Venom is just a bigger jetbike, really.

>>51388849
How many points do you want to play at? You could start with just one and play Kill Team if you're new to the hobby, since with only Reavers and Hellions you'd be forced to play Unbound anyway.

For reference, before upgrades 6 Reavers and 10 Hellions clocks in at 226 points, so you're looking at roughly 250 points' worth per box.

>>51388866
Fuck off Craftshitter.

>>51388866
The Archon's a general-purpose HQ. He can be given a blaster to add some more anti-tank to the squad you put him in and can take a huskblade to surprise instagib enemy units without 2+ armor, as well as a shadowfield to tank hits if you're ballsy.
The Succubus fights better, and on a tighter budget, but has fuck all for shooting. Either will work, but if in doubt an Archon is easier to build around.
>what is the best way to run this type of army?
I'd go for a Realspace Raiders core. It gives you a shitton of Fast Attack slots to fit in all those jetbikes and Hellions, but has a minimum requirement of 2 Troops choices. Of course you could just take minimum-sized Warrior squads with a blaster each and stick them in Venoms, too, which I would recommend, since you're going to need an anti-tank/MC option.

>>51389256
I kinda want to get this mentality out that having a single Riptide is "OP". It's not. They're the Tau's TEQ. It's fair if they can have one if you bring some Termies or a Land Raider. If they bring multiple and in the Wing, then yes that is pretty cheesy.

Also Kroot are shit. They're just expendable meatshields. Having a whole army oriented around them would be incredibly boring. If Tau auxiliaries had the same love that Genestealers then that would be fine.

A "fun" army to play against is something that tries to bring all the neat units into the battle in a combined arms fashion. Not just spamming any one single unit. A good Tau player would know that some well supported fire warrior unit is a cheaper and arguably better source of anti infantry fire power than the other units.

I'm so tired of hearing non Tau players complain about "muh Battlesuits or muh Riptides" They're there in the codex, they have a purpose, just like the FWs.source then any of the battle suits. Just because you get butthurt at the cheesemongers doesn't mean that the other Tau players have to stop using a particular unit. Quit bitching.

Hey guys, I'm an Eldar fag, and as you can imagine I'm quite hyped for the incoming releases. Question is, from a guy who loved the narrative in death masque (even if ridicously short, and therefore stupid) is the Fall of Cadia a good read? I don't care about the rules, just for the narration. Since those books don't come cheap better asking first...

When are Land Raiders finally going to be good enough to field as a single tank and without regretting spending 120€ on two plastic tanks and their decorations that are too expensive to use in my most common 850 games and too bad to field in bigger games?

I just want to have my Crusader bros drive around in the biggest metal boxes in the main GW roster and actually be able to do something with the tank after instead of wasting over 100 points instead of taking 3 Rhinos.
>>
>>51390440
>>51390453
Thanks guys!
just to clarify: I know the Eldar do not show a lot in the book, was just wondering if it is something worth to read story wise and not something like "Cadia falls, people fight, gg" with 3 pages in narration and the rest in rules and photos.
Death masque deserved more in pages IMHO, the narrative had all the elements to build a good story (the assault on port desmus, the harlequins stealing stuff, discovery of coelia, Eldrad plan etc etc) if not a standalone book.

Also, how can manly tears be negative?

They are good, it's just a bit of a pain because in squads they are quite survivable but they have to shoot at whatever your squad shoots at unless you want to waste an order.

But on the other hand, by themselves a squad of autocannons/lascannons can rape face, but they are quite vulnerable and will be focussed so you need to get into decent cover with them.

They are quite good if you can spare a vet team with forward sentries and camp them in some ruins, but you still only get one team. My favourite thing to do is take sergeant Harker, Autocannon squad, 3 sniper rifles and forward sentries. Then you camp them in some decent cover. It's pretty expensive for what it is, but it is quite fun and survivable if they dont get targeted with ignore cover.

Lewl no.

Ultramar is Spehs Rome. Roboute Gulliman is Not!Augustus right down to the mild autism for law making and naming himself the 'Avenging Son' when he thinks his Dad is kill. Ultramarines are Romans in spehs, they are armed with gladii, their PDFs are called Auxilia, they wear traversal crests and cingulum.

The fact Murica uses eagles and pseudo-greco-roman architecture in some of it's state buildings doesn't mean it's supplanted Rome, just means your founding fathers were unimaginative.

Unless you're using a $20 airbrush and a tire for an air source, a permanent airbrush setup will be $100-150+ for tank compressor and $100+ for a decent midrange brush.
>>
>>51390615
I used to use Vallejo, but the black kept clogging up in the airbrush. The grey and white were fine though.

I've switched to Badger "stylenrez" for my black primer.

Both work great as brush-on primer too, if you happen to live in a climate not conducive to rattlecan priming.

>>51390522

The Fall of Cadia book is like 75% campaign text with some pictures and little boxes of vox messages and character's thoughts during the story. It's the best "campaign book" for the actual campaign GW has released so far but it's not as good as FW stuff. The campaign books up till now have just been glorified rulebooks but Fall of Cadia is actually a real campaign.

>>51391145

There is a guide for 'bone' armour in the Dark Eldar painting guide. First you paint a base coat of rakarth flesh, then you paint the recesses only with a fine detail brush with reikland fleshshade. Then go over the first coat with rakarth flesh again but avoid the darker areas you just shaded but so you can tidy up any areas where the shade spilled over. Then edge highlight with palid wych flesh.

Pic related is the result. Its a bit whiter than in your example. Maybe you could use the same method but substitute it with screaming skull or zandridust/screaming skull for example.

>>
>>51391216
Because you could have 3 more leman russes on the field instead of the baneblade.
>>
>>51391216
Well you're going to have all of your infantry vulnerable to getting squished on the first turn because they're not in any transports. Granted you can put them in cover to mitigate that a bit but that's going to depend on the layout of the board your on.

I assume your plan is to have the valkyrie's ferry the vet squads around? Otherwise you're better off swamping them out for vendettas.
>>
>>51391230
Well, okay. I guess that's fair, but I don't have 3 extra leman russes.
>>51391239
Yes, the idea was to have the Valkyries and vets in reserve and have the baneblade get shot to shit and then hope to god it kills something and the Valkyries come up on turn 2. Unless you can't put the vets in the valkyries in reserve.
I was using the one anon's idea of stashing the final veteran squad into a ruin with their camo gear so they'd get a 3+ cover save while the command squad hides somewhere, maybe behind the baneblade.
>>
What's the ideal Guard blob size? I feel like 40-50 is too big and the only thing it could do is tarpit. 40-50 dudes with heavy weapons is a waste of lasguns. 20 feels good for heavy weapons as it gives you more targets and it will likely die on your opponents turn rather than yours. 30 seems good but it will likely die in assault on your turn.
>>
>>51391253
The Valks are not dedicated transports so no, they can't start out in them.
