in a Legion that regularly loses 70% of its operational strength in campaigns, i'd say that 10% is relatively light.

For All his flaws (and there are many) Perty's idea of spending men is valid when it comes to sieges, where you are never going to get through with pretty tactics (Alpharius aside). Corax attack on Gate 42 essentially tells us that.

>>51674128

And that is where statistics are misleading. Guillimans casualty ratio is lower, partially because the UM were a more flexible legion, and partially because UM combat record involves less sieges.
Given that 40K's sieges draw heavily from both WWI and starforts, its not unreasonable to assume that some of the logic applies to 40K as well. For the most part, you want artillery to both pin down the defenders, clear obstacles and on counter battery duty.
In the end, winning a siege doesn't really differ from being an IW, UM or WE, at some point, you will have to run the gauntlet in an attempt to crack open the enemy defensive line. The only major difference between legions would be the availability of artillery, supporting firepower and doctrinal differences.

The reason, why IMO, Corax threw a hissyfit when ordered to assault Gate 42 was because at that point, his legion had become overspecialized and lacked the supporting assets to effectively storm it.
the IW on the other hand, having a fondness for firepower, and a logistic train to back it up, had no issues, and would had more then enough artillery at hand to effectively pin down defenders, conduct counter battery ops, while at the same time doing a box barrage.

>where you are never going to get through with pretty tactics

Wat. Tactics apply to all theatres of warfare. Sieges can be broken through mining, through encirclement and starvation, through negotiation, through strikes by special forces on key logistical elements, through luring the enemy into making sallies that are then ambushed.

Pretty much anything is better than some autist sat there going 'I calculate I will take 78.5485% losses in this full frontal attack before victory. Acceptable. Order the advance.'

Just throwing men at the enemy guns because you can't develop an intelligent plan of attack is full-retard, Perturabo was just an unimaginative butcher.
>>
>>51674098
IW had glorious geneseed to easily replace losses, so they could play the attrition game unlike say the Thousand Sons.
>>
>>51674277
I think you ignore that perturabo literally has lore where IW marines suffer massive casualties and their praetors are censured for lacking appropriate zeal (maybe some has it). Face it Perty is just has little regard for his boys, and will spend them in outrageous numbers to get something done a bit quicker.

>Perturabo was just an unimaginative butcher.
That's just a meme caricature about him.

He was on top of his game in terms of planning and outfitting his forces, he just didn't care about the losses.

Perturabo would bring twice the artillery of everyone else, bombard a fort for two weeks then attack it with 50% casualties.
Dorn would bombard the fort for six weeks, then attack it with 10% casualties.
Guilliman would bombard it for five weeks, attack it with 15% casualties, and spend another five weeks writing a passage in the Codex Astartes about how he had perfected the art of siegecraft.

Because Guilliman encouraged them to actually interact and make friendships with mortals, so the whole idea of secret warrior societies wouldn't have appealed to them. The Lodges were all about seperating the Astartes from humanity.

The Luna Wolves et al saw themselves as exclusively superior, transhuman warriors, as seperate and distinct from humanity, that's why Horus got so upset when regular humans started being given places in the Imperial bureaucracy.

Ultramarines were taught to see themselves simply as enhanced humans, but still human.

To quote Guilliman; "the Astartes excel at warfare because they're designed to excel at everything. Now stop whinging, sit down and pay attention to the rest of my 37 hour presentation of the most efficient method of establishing tiered farming communities in mountainous regions to maximise food production for centralised distribution, I don't care if boltgun practise is 'more fun' "
>>
Do the Custodes have any real answer to anti-air? Looking at my friend who's building an entire army of them to go with his World Eaters, and wondering if two Vulturax or a Lightning, or just anything that can fly could just cruise around blasting them at will.
They seem to have a lot of holes in their list, really. They excel at killing large numbers of Marines in melee and the occasional automata with ID, but that's about it as far as I can tell.

Lorgar was incompetent in other ways but he knew what he was doing with Guilliman.
>>
>>51675017
Is this difference because of the Primarchs' personalities? Seeing as how there were Luna Wolves who actively refused joining the lodges (Loken, Qruze), I'm surprised there isn't the opposite for the Ultramarines (Astartes who do consider themselves separate and superior from humanity). There's hundreds of thousands of the transhumans, surely there's room for some abnormalities.

I'm totally using them in my blackshields for flavour. That's how I see them. I read some lore somewhere about Night Lords deriving enjoyment out of chasing civilians into hidden anti-personnel Tarantula clades, which I find hilarious.

Forgot to add that I'm kind of torn, because I like the aesthetics of Indomitus but the characters would be of more use without preventing sweeping advances.
I could fluff them as "artificer"/early pattern Indomitus, but I don't know if that would fly everywhere.

Daily reminder the IW were assigned the difficult shit no one else could do.
You remember the IW's costly victories, I remember the UM's utter defeat at Gaardinal along their not-penal 500000 auxiliaries (the IHs had to bail them out), or the combined Gotta Go Fast force of SW and WS being repelled while Perturabo's children broke the stalemate, yet were left out from the honour rolls.

I'm not defending Perturabo. He was lacking and Guilliman was indeed noted by his tactical acumen (but he can't pick a Strategic Trait like Fulgrim)...but I do say you guys underestimate the IW a lot and by a long shot.

If the UMs were assigned to the jobs that inflicted IW-tier casualties, then his legion, for all his precious 500 worlds wouldn't surpass Dorn's in size.

The didn't already surpass him in fleet strength anyway.

You know, I would have thought I'd love the Mastodon, since a rolling fortress bristling with guns is exactly what I want out of a Superheavy, it's why I like the Stormhammer and the Stormbird so much. But I really don't like the look of the Mastodon. It's just this big blob with details more or less randomly vomited on, and doesn't have enough weapons for it's size.

When I'm doing all the little details on the Filiketos I think I'll stick some extra heavy stubbers and such on a few of the railings, maybe an anti-air turret on the top that can't actually shoot, just for the look of the thing.

I want to take an Allied Detachment but I don't want to take another legion.

Anyone want to offer any input/advice?

Ok faggots i need the /tg/ anons opinions here - hard to get uncensored "the fuck are you doing faggot" recommendations on other sites.

Im going dick first into HH having spent a year in the hobby in total. Ive set my eye on my yiffs yet again since they are the only legion i identify with... go fuck yourselves they are 110% snow white norsemen..

Grey slayers load out: prospero gives you 3 10man squads of troops including sargeants.

Im giving them combat shields instead of bolters. With combat mettle their shooting is less than stellar making me run them instead of shooting. 8 ccw/shield, 1 two-handed chainsword, 1 fist + boltgun on sargeant with artificer armor. Add a vexila in there -maybe- per 10 man squad. Would this in any way be a bad idea? Are the 2pt bolter upgrade worth it?

Great frost blades would help the sarge more. Also full shields isn't as good as some will die on the way there, as a few 5pt power weapons so they actually kill things. Mounting them in rhinos would also help get them to places in you're not going over ten guys

I'd be pretty confident you could get a third-party modeller to make something similar. Human faces aren't copyrighted, after all.

I just assumed they were MkIV since they don't seem heavy duty enough to be MkIII. FW also pictures them on MkIV legs on their website.
>>
>>51676880
True, but FW also put obviously MK3 stuff on the IF, for example.
A fair few legions (IF, WE, for example) have heads for Mark 2 that one would assume to be Mark 4, seeing how most people's view of the "Crusade" pattern is coloured by the Mark 3 and its heavy plate faces. This one might be something similar, designed to look best on Mark 2, but with some compatibility for Mark 4?

So I've been thinking about this, and I wanted your guys input.
I'm considering running a Jump Destroyer unit in my TS army, making them Pyrae (Gives HoW, or 2 HoW attacks if unit already has the rule), and sending them out to fuck with quads, heavy weapon squads, and other backline targets.
The idea is 20 HoW attacks and 31 attacks on the charge, all with that sweet -1T from rad nades, could easily wipe more shooty backline infantry, and even if they don't die immediately, tie them up for a turn or so and give my dudes a bit more freedom to move.
I'd probably run them mostly barebones, since I imagine they wouldn't do a whole hell of a lot more most games.
Input?

dont shields provide a 6+ FNP when out of combat tho? or did i read it wrong? while in combat they give you 5+ fnp.

Great frost blade sounds like ALOT of fun! thanks for the tip, nut what weapon am i to use for it? iirs theres just the 2 handed chainsword from the pwr weapon upgrade, any other weapon bit youd recommend. im pretty much going Rule of Cool when it comes to this but i dont want to get stomped to shit. i figured id get the 3 rhino bundle off of FW in my first initial purchase from them.

>>51677147

i looked around for some shields and saw that the chaos marauders from Fantasy had like 6 in a box. so figured id take those and shave off the chaos symbols and skulls. dont think ill make them wooden but definatly the square pattern of my division ( no, im not calling it "muh pack", praetor a "wolflord" or whatever the fuck i want to GET AWAY FROM THAT SHIT)

Balance, I'm guessing. It's a lot easier to balance an entire system around just Titans and Knights without including infantry and vehicles.

>>51678358
I've used them. You just attach the weapon, with feed, in arms, then, you warm the belt (hot water/hot air gun) and just push the ammo box onto the backpack, let it cool while holding it in place, then try to use capillary force to insert glue between ammo and backpack.

>>
>>51678855
OK then. You won't be wanting Vorax or Thallax, you are plenty mobile already.
Maybe a couple big Thrall units to hold down the backfield damn well for pennies while you Go Fast? Also Vulturax are always good and you can take up to 3 in the unit, go nuts.
Castys are vanilla - dependable and useful, but not exactly what you're looking for.

A Thanatar is always a nice surprise, and can drop a nice shiny S8 AP2 Cover -1 and must be Rerolled large blast on something. Two, with some cybertheurgy, since one of the powers basically gives a robot Fury of the Legion.

I would suggest something like:

Magos Dominus w/ Machinator Array
20 Thralls, Fearless and 4++
1 Vult, or two if you have the pts.

as a nice allied detatchment, since the Dominus can buff the Vulturax to shoot twice, then you jink a turn, fly off the board to avoid the second then come back with everything ready to shoot again. Hide the Dominus in the Thrall unit, probably.

Other tricks:
Unit of 4 Automata and 2 Enginseers, all with servo-arms.
Cheap and gives 2 guaranteed repairs for the Sicarians, plus one more on a 3+ from the Dominus, and can dump quite a few S8 AP2 Powerfist attacks if you need them.

Alternatively, grab some Myrmidons: Secutors for haywire spam or loads of S6AP3 Dakka, or Destructors for AP3 Fleshbane Torrent or 40k grav, even a squad of 3 can fire 12 shots hitting and wounding on 2+ Preferred Enemy, and melt Primarchs easily.
They need a Triaros, though, so expensive.


Really, just pick a toy from the list that isn't a Domitar or a Scyllax, everything else is reliably decent.

This is such poor thinking. It leads to nonsense like not doing blood bowl for years because it might damage the core lines, then being surprised when it sells out really fucking fast and makes a load of money. It also leads to silliness like not doing breacher shield or Mk IV jump pack upgrade sets because they want to protect their breacher and assault squad sets, when all that does is drive people to 3rd party sites.

But think about it this way. Say you got a good solid product. A competitor makes an alternative product and makes money with that. Now imagine you made both versions and got the money from both. People who want 6mm games are not gonna go "well, there's no option, so I'll just play 28mm scale." They'll find it. And they give their money to not-GW.

You'd be surprised how many non-brand products are made by the same company as the brand product, sometimes even at the same factory. They're just maximizing their profits to provide you (at least the illusion of) a choice.

I actually agree. In the long run its beneficial. Gateway drug, people who only like 6mm etc. I really want them to do it actually. But I think its stupid to deny it would cannibalise some sales. Why make the titans in 8mm? So they are not compatible?

They claimed they did Titans in 8mm because the 8mm test infantry looked better (probably true).

Also, it's not like Epic was ever really "true" 6mm anyways. How are those tac squads going to fit into such clown-car Rhinos?

>>
>>51679420
>I think its stupid to deny it would cannibalise some sales.

All the 6mm non-GW stuff already is and GW's not making any money off of them. Sure, you might not be able to play Apic Heres Horusy in a GW store, but they're hardly the only stores of clubs in the world. Where I live there's 1 GW store in the entire country and the FLGS has been cutting down on GW stuff greatly, because it's just not profitable and kids just order everything online anyway.

Bottom line, 6mm is ALWAYS gonna cut into GW's sales, question is whether or not GW wants to make money off of it or not.
>>
The way Titanicus rules currently look I think FW is probably going to cut Epic into two games; Titanicus for Titan on Titan and Not!Epic for Infantry and vehicles or into two other games for Infantry vs Infantry and Tanks vs Tanks.
>>
>>51679447
It may be part of it. But the niche of people that

1. have full original or 3rd party epic armies and

2. actually play the game

is very small. They wouldn't lose much from people playing with old models since so few people still play to begin with.

>>
>>51680587
The right, I am tempted to say.
What's his role? If an IW is going to be thinly-ornamented, then deliberate brute simplicity as seen in the Mark 3 armour is a better guideline.
Personally I think the sleeker, more decorative parts go well on a model that's covered with crude, brutish gear. Perturabo is a good example of this, as is the Warpsmith model from 40k CSM. It's clearly got one of the IW special helmets, just slightly chaos-ified.
The IW's aesthetic combines brutality with just enough decoration to be off-putting and keep the enemy guessing as to how smart their opponent really is.


Also isn't the Aquila not a thing outside the Emperor's Children?

I have two units of 10 mk3 done (40k style tactical mlauncher and flamer) 5 homebrew termies cataphractii, 5 jump packers that could be modded to be locutarus, a Spartan and two Contemptors. All Ultramarine.

I'm adding both boardgames worth to this lot, and either a Leviathan or Deredeo but can't decide which?

>Deredeo looks like an bigger Contemptor
That's been the unfortunate victim of a looney tunes anvil.
>And boxnaughts belong in 40k
Absolutely disgusting, boxnaughts are the cutest dreads, and the models can give you high-5s.

...and here we see the anon try and make a rational argument, but, alas, fail miserably to formulate more than a petty ad hominem. Such is the cruel reality of online discussion.

>>51681200
OK buddy cheers for the advice! I think I'll go for that version of Deredeo then, keep him cheap and get a Leviathan later.

Any load out best for Levi, I was thing melta and claw?

I'll keep the Reaver shelved for a while then. Ta

Sorry, but was already disappointed by the previous green text and saw red.

At least this >>51681213 made me smile. But if I high-5 my models they tend to stab me, the ungrateful little buggers after painting them and putting a roof over their heads!

>But if I high-5 my models they tend to stab me
That's because you use shitty, edgy, spikey FW knockoff dreads, instead of eternally loyal and unspikey castaferrums.

>>51681406
touché and check-mate! I concede your point there

>>51681406
i have combined my castaferrum and contemptor dreadnought in an unholy blend of SCIENCE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's my attempt at making contemptor cortus dreds

I'm not sure... I don't not like it. I think it has charm, if armless.....

But that looks like something a filthy traitor would have on itself, a hanging from its waist!!

WTF does Blessed Autosimulacra do on a fucking Vulturax? I can't find the fucking rule for its effect on MC's anywhere...

Nice idea, good out of the box thinking. Or with the box thinking!!!

I'll get my coat....

6+ IWND?

>>51680870
>That's EXACTLY why they did it anon. The whole 'well infantry look better in 8mm' is the Kool aid the retard apologists gulp down.


The idea that old players (with old GW epic models, ignoring 3rd party stuff) won't buy new epic Heresy era models because they already have tons of crappy old mkvii and mkvi is ridiculous. If that reasoning had any merit, the 28mm Horus Heresy stuff would have flopped because everyone already has tons of marines so why buy more marines?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to have a projected Flare Shield? Thinking up some homebrew rules for the Filiketos Gunship and I'm thinking it trades Void Shields for a Flare and has the same projection capability as the Stormbird. It also has no transport capacity, but instead has the upper deck and gondola that act as Fortification battlements, and they can be boarded by getting to base contact with the thing, and disembarked from the marked areas (Sections with no railings, slightly lower deck and hazard stripes that actually denote danger for once). Lots more anti-infantry weapons all over it, but it costs 950 base and loses the Orbital Strike option. It's meant to be more supportive but less outright destructive.
Also forced to hover at all times, but still can't be hit with blast weapons, so similar effect to the rule on the Tau Manta.

May be a bit too strong, will need to test it.

>>51681809
Be the same 6+ IWND it functionally is for vehicles? It's not a point of contention like the Flare Shield, RAI is fairly clear.

Yeah, I would've bought tons of new 6mm models. The old ones are really old, and look it.

I'll still get a few of the new titans though.

Finally finished painting my Kharybdis, I want to fucking kill myself. It came out decent, but I could tell it hates me the entire time. Not a good experience for either of us.

say you were forced to take a hellfire deredeo, what would you use for belly weapons and launcher or pavaise? (assuming RG legion)

asking mostly because I want to onclude one for looks alone eventually, and figuring out good ways to use it is on my to-do list.

While I agree with you, remember that this is an expensive, niche market. Any new game using their IP will likely cannibalize some sales, since people only have but so much expendable income. So, a company needs to know whether the new game would bring in enough completely new sales that it would make up for the sales it cannibalized from other products, on top of it's development costs.

The higher ups in FW and GW probably assume that Epic wouldn't, which feels wrong to me, but I'm not a market analyst and the resin limitations are an honest problem.

I will say that the biggest thing that would stop it from making enough money isn't the market pool or appeal, but the fact that they don't sell FW products anywhere other than their own website. If they went to the trouble of actually making select FW resin products available at retail (preferably at their stores AND LGS's) they'd probably see more sales in the long run.
