I'd say MM. Autocannons got range, they can just as well be fielded by support squads. MM needs to get close and bikes can get close.

I'd also say multimeltas. Attack bikes aren't terrible in close combat (2 wounds!) so they don't need to be afraid of getting up close. Jetbikes do.

>>51433199
I think you’re allowed to start Terminators on the board since the RoW gives them Deep Strike (you don’t have to use it, but you can’t take units that don’t have it). You could do that if you’re taking a lot of Grave Wardens, but Deathshrouds should be in a Dreadclaw or Kharbydis. So should chainfist Terminators on anti-tank duty.

You want to take an odd number of pods so you get a little more than half of them on turn 1. Flamers more sense in Orbital Assault armies. Plasma support squads are a common anti-heavy-infantry choice. Contemptor-Cortus dreads are great. A Kharbydis or two can actually be worth it, and might be able to handle your anti-air needs, though there’s nothing wrong with bringing aircraft.

You're likely gonna field only a few, so even if all of them can't use those bombs, it's something to consider to ensure the destruction of a target at close ranges.

Who knows, maybe FW's gonna add a rule that lets 30k armies to spam grenades in CC?

>>
>>51434447
I play sistas (40k) and space woofs (30k). Eldar have a marginal fucking advantage for even being on the field. Couple that with sisters being underpowered, wraith units, jetbikes, and you are given a whole lotta loss potential on your side.

Yeah I know. The local eldar player who played them since 3rd edition tried making an army that was fun to play against after the latest codex was released. He no longer plays 40k. But specially on Whineseer you had a bunch of people defending the new codex to the death, making the most rediculous claims to prove it was not OP at all and people were just overreacting.

He's like the angrier version of Dorn.
>>
>>51435974
Yeah, guess that figures.

Too bad, the whole thing about 'struggle between machine and man' was pretty cool, but such must be life for the most easily forgotten legion.

It probably doesn't help their lore looks like a mashup between 30 different takes on the same thing, the mix between nomadic dunecrawler clans and high-tech relentless autists sounds cool if done well, but as is just looks like a bunch of cheap sci-if ripoffs

>>51436026

Beowulf got shit done unlike Russ. Beowulf could talk shit, but he also delivered in killing Grendel where everyone failed. Russ has no great feat beyond defeat of Magnus and even that is under a lot of scrutiny right now seeing as the canon seems intent on diluting the offense of the wolves in general.
>>
>>51435962
A fucking idiot who put all the sketchiest legions in the second wave instead of fucking waiting for some reinforcements.

Corax said they should pull back but he was like nah fuck it. Then he saw Fulgrim and went it alone and got cut up.

Finally as the cherry on top he didn't even go to istvaan with his full legion, so while the Sallies got RICKITY REKT and the Raven Guard got mauled he only lost his veteran companies, most of his legion escaped from harm.

Basically worst primarch.

You would get cocky if the enemy is between your wrench and the wall, and you've yet another four legions as reinforcements.

>>51437436

They've said the Sabre will be different to the Laser Vindicator. Probably with a Vanquisher Cannon instead of a Laser Destroyer.
>>
>>51437477
Original Sabre had an autocannon.
>>
>>51437375
Yeah, but he backs up his shit talk, isn't duped that much, and doesn't kill innocent people because "muh executioner."
>>
>>51437510

Yes, but an Autocannon now is not a good Anti-Tank weapon, and there would be literally no point in arming the Sabre with one when the predator has one, and the Sicaran has two souped-up ones.
>>
>>51437436
>>51437469

Horus Heresy Book 1 seems to use the Sabre and the Cerberus interchangeably. However, this seems to have been quietly removed in LAADA, so maybe they're planning something.

I wouldnt mind it so much if it were a throwback to the sabre, rather than 'stick a lascannon bit in the vindi hole'
>>
>>51437185
maybe it's just a lack of information, but from what we have he certainly made the right choice. He seriously outnumbered the traitors (or so he thought) and had them on the run, it only seems logical to finish them off and (hopefully) finish the war in one fell swoop. And his fighting Fulgrim had the same logic, if he (one of the toughest/strongest/smartest/all-around good Primarchs) could fairly easily kill Fulgrim or turn him back to good, then that's a serious blow to the traitors. He just wasn't expecting Fulgrim to Slannesh out and chop his head off.

Also
>put the sketchy legions in the back
But they were the worse legions, right? As in according to IH/SM/RG doctrine the other bros were less effective soldiers, so they should lead the charge.

Imagine all legions with a specific tank, based on the same chassis but different guns/rules

Night Lords could get an Artillery piece that shreds and blinds units for further abuse of the crippled.

Blood Angels with a Torrent Flamestorm cannon and Fast vehicle

World Eaters could get a tank that throws tracer rounds so units driven insane by the nails charge towards them, like units charging the target thats been hit gain fleet.

Emperor's Children with a sonic predator, Thousand Sons with an Inferno Heavy Bolter predator, Death Guard with a smaller Inferno Malcador!

The Wolves can keep their ghetto Land Raider that is the Rhino Advancer.

Imperial Fists are weird, Im not sure what they might get..Something with a big gun and Siege Dozerblade that is not a Vindicator.

DA would obviously get their Grav-Rhino that vomits Volkite/Plasma.
>>
>>51437685
Why are the Blood Angels associated with fire?
Because last time I checked, the flamer legion was green and black.

World Eaters would get the Bloodhammer Superheavy Assault Carrier.
>>
>>51437672
Think about who he was asking to get his back

>Night Lords

>Alpha Legion

>Bitter Boys

I mean at the last I would have switched the Raven Guard out for the Iron Warriors cos frontal assaults made Corax salty, and asked Alpharius to do some sort of sabotage.

When the traitors landed in the second wave the Raven Guard and Salamanders were pulling back because of the casualties they had taken. The Istvaan assault was headlong and not thought out well, that was the point, Ferrus was incensed at Fulgrims betrayal and he made rash decisions.

>Night Lords
>reinforcements

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Ignoring the fact that they were traitors, they should have been first wave shock troopers who REEEE'd down from the heavens screeching through all the enemy Voxes and batmaning through the IW defenses and shit. Who sat down and thought "Hey. These murderers and criminals will surely cover our backs. That Konrad is a damn upstanding fellow!"

>TAKE REST BEHIND MY CORPSE ARMOR BROTHERS!

>>
>>51439169

Night Lords were fucking ass at frontline combat, everyone knew that. The idea was for the Night Lords to harass the enemy come nightfall and keep up the tempo of the siege. Over an extended siege, their psychological warfare tactics would have kept the enemy on edge and eventually create an opening. It was a sound plan.
>>
>>51439169
Dorn thought. Because Sevatar was supposed to be the one leading the Night Lords. Then Terra got word that Curze had rejoined the legion and received the orders and Dorn got a bad feeling about it.
>>
>>51439189

I had assumed that sending them down the night before the attack would have been more sound and get a head start fucking with their shit before the rest of the legions arrived, after which the NL vanish until the following night. Iirc, they were particularly good at just hiding inside of enemy strongholds, unless the whole Bangles ship thing was something special.
>>
>>51439200

Ah ok. I suppose that makes sense, especially since they obviously had their fight at that point.
>>
>>51439223

Enemy defenses were still entrenched and hidden. NL specialize in striking exposed elements and exploiting guerilla tactics. Sending in NL first would have just gotten them blown up and roused the enemy defenses. Moreover, such an approach would suggest that the Imperium feared the full might of Horus' rebellion.
>>
>>51439244

Fair. I'll concede that.

NL Test wBlood.jpg
28KB, 409x432px
Anyway, speaking of NL, I posted this in the last thread saying I didn't know if I wanted to make it 30k or 40k. It's possible that I could do both, I suppose, but I don't actually have anyone to play with regardless.

I'm honestly not sure how to build what I have, which is both HH boxes and a pair of drop pods that I got 40% off. I figure I either use the pods or I don't, but the price was too good to pass up. I also would rather buy as little FW as possible because it's just too much money. Rhinos, pods, press, w/e that's fine. I can order that through my LGS for a 10-25% discount, but I can't justify FW right now, especially when I have so much to assemble as it is.

I honestly don't know how I should build this army. I like the idea of NL using drop pods and the fact that my terminators can teleport, but I don't know how best to incorporate that into a list that I can build towards. I'm kinda leaning towards a Pride of the Legion maybe? ObSec termie troops that can teleport seem pretty good, and I should have enough weapons to make some vet squads on top of that. Maybe, I can throw that Contemptor in a pod, too.

Any advice?

As a NL player, the Terror Assault is great fun to play and to play against, but at the same time its fairly weak. Do you want to be fluffy or WAACky? I run either Terror Assault with a pod leviathan and a Knight Errant the robot not the weirdass custom HQ, or Primarch's chosen with a massive blob of Ass Marines, Batman, a medic, a jet, the Pod Leviathan and three units of teleporting termies to grab late-game objectives. Neither are super good but both are fun. NL have shit rites, mediocre characters and fairly good LA rules.

Running five lots of ten sniper vets in rhinos, two units of five terminators teleporting in with combiweapons and a kitted HQ somewhere does bring you to about 2k. This is a hobby where its best to spend money to get shiny new toys though, and playing such a list forever would probably kill your enthusiasm pretty quick.

Eh, the legion itself is fine, even fluffwise they are, the very idea of fundamentalists changing religions isn't anything new even today. The Archetype of overly religious Zealots isn't a bad idea, and in a way, they pulled it off nicely.

The problem lies with Lorgar, which is portrayed downright bland and boring.

Does anyone here know all the original names for the legions at the time of their First Founding? All that I've got is:

Luna Wolves --> Sons of Horus --> Black Legion
Dusk Raiders --> Death Guard
Imperial heralds --> Word Bearers
Storm Walkers --> Iron Hands
War Hounds --> World Eaters
Pale Nomads --> Raven Guard
War-born --> Ultramarines
Dragon Warriors --> Salamanders
>>
>>51442638
I know you want to rebut all reasons why someone might not like the Space Wolves, but don't sink to defending that waste of space.
>>
>>51442795
Salamanders were the Saturnine Rams.
>>
>>51442795
Dark Angels were The First.
>>
>>51443032
Angels of Death before there were any other legions.
>>
>>51442795
Iron Hands were Lord of the Storm or something
>>
>>51442795
Only about half of those were official names. The rest were nicknames that the Imperial Army forces fighting alongside the legions called them.
>>
>>51443257
Storm Walkers.
>>
>>51442649
>>51442717
LOYALTY IS ITS OWN REWARD

So now the Cybernetica and Taghmata have Scoria, what will be the Reductor's Primarch equivalent?

Personally I kind of want to see the Land's Raider as a Superheavy that can be Warlord, just to see what Forge World would do with a Vehicle Unique.

I have not read Blackshield yet, not found it in the MEGA if it is there. That does sound cool, though.

Ideally I want him supporting the army not being a combat monster, so buffing vehicles and such. I just want a good Eternal Warrior character, really.

If they made EW an upgrade for ArchMagi and/or gave it to Inar Satarael I would be more than happy. The Salamanders get it, but not the Mech?

Cant say I've tried it myself, but some Reductor artillery would help if you're going full cheese Ironfire. An extra 3 medusae that do trigger the counter placement, although it's disputed if they can then benefit from those. Cyber-occularis would be excellent, and the mandatory Thallax are not really bad at anything. Grab an extra Lightning if you want to, or some Myrmidons instead of the arty if you want to smush Primarchs like cartoon clay.

He talked with a Deathshroud (Noped after Mortarion went semi Chaos) some then willed a bolter round out of existance.

>Shame his rules are so bad, if he had Archmagos stats he'd be great.
This. He's only good for a suicide drop, an extra non-FOC Macrocarid and as a Reductor for Thagmata.
And his fluff doesn't translate to the tabletop at all.
Where is his ability to ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL of enemy tanks?
Then again, that was back in HH1, where the whole Mechanicum was going to be an "allied only" detachment, Cybertheurgy was non-existent and Reductor was going to be "LoW Automata only".

YO.
their medusae are better then ours wit hteh ability to use phoserex rounds and normal ones.
i think i don't need to say anymore then that but
cheap techthralls.
the fuck your cover of thallaxs
One of the best HQ options in the game, the versatility is fucking great
armourbane, conversion beamer my dude
techthralls which by the way can be made really cheap from neophytes and skit. same with servitors neophytes and katapron bits work really well and if you are tratior you get a more... gigerian (if that is even a word) feel to your stuff.
my Lacryaemarta is a kit bash of the neophytes and skit. and hte mining laser and the other heavy weapon can ber cut together to make a conversion beamer pretty easily.
depending on your list, they can be a pretty effective stop gap, with some fucking cheap objective warmers. Cheap support weapon squads (65 points for flamers + magos and a bit more for the conveyer is sweet, arguably not as cost effective as a ss in a rhino but hey.)
I think it boils down to, you have cheaper heavy weapons (see havocs, most of their units being expensive as fuck,etc) they have cheaper stop gabs and better artillery while your conventional tanks are better.
and they have the best MCs in the game.
I'm getting some iron man fist bots and some vorax sometime in the near future
>>
>>51445247
The Khan says it, but he rather meant Mortarion is straightforward in combat instead of relying on advanced tactics, complex plans, especialist equipment or deft maneuvers. He doesn't bother to avoid damage because he knows he can take it and hit back when the enemy expects him to be out of the fight, and has already tired itself.

You know, like some boxers.

But Guilliman also says the only legion that could ever hope to match Mortarion's in raw strength (or toughness) was Ferrus'.

Yeah, I really hope they throw him an update sometime, even if it's just as a rules PDF under the Titan tech-priest model or something.

>>51444953

That might actually be cool as fuck, give him ArchMagos stats and swap out Curse of the Omnissiah for a Haywire weapon with something like:

Subversive Engrams: If Calleb Decima wrecks (Not explodes) an enemy vehicle in close combat, control of the vehicle is instead transferred to Decima's controlling player until the end of Decima's player's next turn (Not the one in which the vehicle was YOINKsed, the next one), at which point it is automatically wrecked. If this vehicle is destroyed in any way, treat it as if it belonged to the opposing player (So he can't lose points for doing that to a LoW, or something).

Obviously needs work on the wording, but it might be fun. Might also need some form of mobility boost, but it would need testing (and probably a nerf, knowing my homebrew skills).

Makes him less of a one-shot deal, anyway.

>>51444980

Now THAT is a Reductor weapon. They need that as a gun on their eventual Superheavy LoWs.

>>51444995

WANT. Although might be better if they just made rules for the Land's Raider, since he really isn't a fighter. Have it buff the FUCK out of nearby friendlies, though, since quad-Volkite isn't too much firepower for what I presume would be more than Spartan point costs.

Admech do like the insects. My Knight I'm working on is House Malinax, looking forward to their transfer sheet so I can avoid freehanding the scorpion and Xana insignia.

Yeah, name is cool as hell, I want to see him earn it in ways other than being kicked out of an Arvus behind a Spartan. Magos Duel with big boy Scoria?

Just read it, Blackshield is mostly Morturg and an ex-Deathshroud who wants to kill Mortarion for witchery. He ALMOST joins them, but Morturg has to stop himself getting shot and the DS kills himself trying to murder the witch.

Decima shows up briefly at the end, nothing really important. Morturg's new body would probably make Scoria jealous, though.

The inception of Obliterators themselves might have been conceived and initially brought into being during late stage Heresy, but I doubt Obliterators ever transcended the "Nazi superweapon" phase of battlefield rarity until the Traitors went into the Eye and they more or less mutated themselves into monsters.

Myrmidons seems pretty cool, Thallax as well.
>>
>>51441669

Fluffy, fun, and playable is what I usually strive to play. As long as I have a fighting chance. If a fluffy list is bordering unplayable (like say wyches in 40k), then it's not likely to be enjoyable on the table. However, I'm also never looking to be the most super tuned WAAC list because those lists are generally pretty boring. I suppose casually competitive is the best way to describe it?

I do like the Terror Assault, but my biggest concern is the lack of being able to put Volkite on them. I've thought about using Raptors for assault Marines, too.

The rest of the army doesn't have to be built 100% from the boxes. I have no problem buying plastic because I get a discount through my LGS. I just can't justify spending $90+ dollars per model from FW.
>>
>>51446239
Thallax are workhorses. They're tough, nimble and perfectly capable of bullying small squads and/or poking away at even AV15 on rerollable 6s thanks to Rending or Lance guns and Tank Hunters. They do, however, cost quite a lot for the firepower they grant. They're not anything like similarly-costed Terminators, but they will do well if you treat them right.

Destructor Myrmidons are WTF powerful. Secutors are lame unless they are for Graviton blast spam. Weapon analysis for the Myrmy Ds:

Volkite Culverins. IMO cool but a dreadful waste of BS5 PE when fighting Astartes, my second squad of 3 uses them for awesome value and for that moment when your enemy rolls slightly bad saves and loses his entire Gal Vorbak squad.

Irrad Engines are the ultimate horde killers. AP3 Torrent Fleshbane will rip through anything it touches short of Terms, and even they will suffer aplenty. If they're not chilling in a Macrocarid then be careful but a couple is pretty much never a bad idea, if they are then don't bother, take them on the sexy, sexy tank instead. (Also will possibly microwave Angron for -1T, for when you like your Primarch actually Well Done.)

Avoid Photon, it's useless and nowhere near as cool.

Grav, grav, grav, what can't we do with you. Shoot people more than 18" away, that's what.
However, PE BS5 basically means you'll normally score 11/12 wounds on anything you shoot. They can and will turn Primarchs into dust and anything else into finer dust. Best in a Triaros or Macrocarid, but makes for the best surgical squad ever.

Remember they all have power fists too, so they can hold their own against non-dedicated melee OK.
Personally I pack one squad of 3 with Grav in a fully loaded Macrocarid, then another squad of 3 with Volkite to stand with my Reductor Magos at the back while he buffs and fixes things, unless I've brought enough things to warrant swapping them for enginseers.

(1/2)
>>
>>51446239
>>51446544

If you have some points to splash on the allies and like Myrmidons and Thallax, this is about the best you can get from an allied:

HQ Calleb Decima Invictus
Buy his DT Macrocarid and kit it with Irrad sponsons and the Grav imploder, plus AC and Flare. Explorator Array can be handy.

Troops, 3-man Thallax with a photon thruster and Destructor, for poking tanks and support squads from forward objectives.

Elites, 3-man secutor squad with as many graviton guns as they can take. Skip these if you won't need that much haywire, but it's fun.

They go with Decima in the:

Fast Attack, Arvus Lighter with whatever you feel like giving it, aside from the Automata Transport upgrade.

Heavy Support, 3 Destructors, who will load up in the Macrocarid and go cruising.

Arvus comes on, drops off the Decutor team behind the biggest AV thing they have (usually a Spartan) and nails it with 6 Haywire blasts and 2d6 Haywire shots . Can and will kill Fellblades. Even more fun if Perturabo lets them come on T1.

Macrocarid looks awesome while melting entire tac squads. Cool trick for hidden artif sarges: If you have good weapon arcs on a target, hit it with one Irrad Engine, expose the sarge and pop him with the Grav Imp, then PotMS the second imploder back round and wipe the squad.

Destructors find the Primarch crawling out from his horribly raped Spartan and demolish him and his retinue while shit-talking him in binharic cant.
If no Primarchs are available, find the next likely target in 3+ or better and do the same thing. Repeat until someone steps on them with a Warhound, because T5 W2 3+ 5++ is decent.

That's a LOT of points, but it is awesome fun and hasn't got a bad looking model in the bunch. Enjoy.
If you don't have that many points, a basic Magos Reductor provides nice buffs to the IW big guns, especially if you get some cheap Cyber-occularis and reduce the enemy cover or grant the arty Interceptor.

I have access to an industrial laser cutter and the appropriate material so I thought what the hell, today I tested a sample of pic related on a brass sheet 0,5mm thick. I'm happy with the results so I'll do a bunch of SoH and IF icons for marines, dreads and tanks, I'd post a pic of the actual piece but it accidentally ended up in the trash as it's so small.
Can't wait for it so I get on with long overdue priming?

Related question, if anyone's has experience: is FW Sons of Horus Green similar to GW Kabalite Green? I'm not too keen on airbrushes, but that colour scheme posted in one White Dwarf is the one I prefer over the drab greens.

HELL yes, best MC squad in the game IMO. T7, W4, 3+ 5/6++ versatile chassis for 105 pts. Can be left stock or splashed out on, works either way. Just avoid Multi-meltas and to a lesser extent Paragon of Metal, because the former can't hold a candle to the other guns and the Paragon is akin to painting a giant "Shoot Me" sign on your lone, 160pt+, risky to heal MC.

Run in units of 2+, though, one will get shot down in short order. Two builds I like:

2 Castys, Darkfire and Enhanced Targeting - BS5, Cover -1, 4 shots of Lance plasma at 60". Screw you, Predators, and the autocannon you drove in with. Also good at terminators, support squads, quad-mortars sometimes, Suzerains, wounded Primarchs, pretty much any small unit.

2 Castys, Maulerbolt, Siege Wreckers and frags, season with flamers as desired. Smashy MC squad that fights like Carnifex but better than those every single way. Makes a good bodyguard for an Archmagos or Anacharis Scoria.

However, you're probably going to want either Cybernetica or the Myrmidon/Thallax things outlined earlier, since you can take a Legio Cybernetica allied detachment for +1I and larger Control range on the robots, so they hit at the same time as Marines and don't get baited, tarpitted and rendered useless as easily.
I forgot, the Allied for the Reductor stuff also gives them the ability to completely ignore ruins, rubble and trenchworks (and anything similar) as difficult and dangerous terrain, which means those Thallax and that Arvus team can happily land on/jet through ruins from Deepstrike and not mishap/DT test. Just something to remember.

Also, how do you feel about two Primarch-types? Take as your allies Anacharis Scoria and the melee Casty squad earlier, watch noone go near them ever. Or take him with a squad of Vorax as allied FA and use Pert to outflank him into their backfield turn 1with his I5 S6AP2 monstrosities, which he can then buff to I6 Zealot + Fleet and make them able to Sweep.

Now hang on just a minute, North Britain barely has anything to do with the UK as a whole.
