Cawl getting shit done. Got to love that, now we just need an actual Admech campaign with him, Dahan, Kotov and Stroika wrecking face together. Get some of the other aspects of the Admech on the field, with the Biologis, the Reductor, the Explorators and the Myrmidax, like in the 30k books. Currently the Admech line basically shows the boring Admech equivalent to the Ultramarines in flavor, and even that is awesome. Just a couple faction-specific Magos tweaks like the 1KSons 30k Cults would be cool.

Also, have some proper Archmagos commanding going on, with everything being perfectly coordinated and such, even if it's just for the introductory or big final battle, just to see it once. A good Archmagos or Secutor is basically one of those Yuuzhan Vong Yammosks from the New Jedi Order, but Cawl doesn't do any of that. What happened to the fluff about Skitarii/Admech commanders transmitting orders from orbit and guiding entire fleets instead of brawling like plebs?

I'm actually making one using the Horus Heresy Mechanicum rules, lots of Skaven monsters and Dark Eldar weapons with a dash of Tyranid used to make robot-substitiute bodies for the Castellax, Magi with Wrack syringes, Narthecium mandibles on my giant spider-Archmagos who's going to be Scoria.

All shielded by huge hordes of the Miltia Levies, who are 345 pts for 2x50 of them and the Commander, and they all have Zealot, Rending, Fear and FnP 6+, plus subflak, frags and 2ccw each, but they can't shoot and always need to assault. Commander has a whip and such as an "Overseer". Going to use the Crypt Ghoul and Skaven Clanrat models with a few tweaks to represent the army of flash-cloned monsters thrown out as cannon fodder before the big stuff lands.

Also artillery with poison tanks and Spore Mine shells piled on the Basilisk platforms, Rat-Ogre Vorax conversions and to top it all off eventually, a Sokar Pattern Stormbird made from a 2ft long Whale model with loads of cybernetics, engines and a gondola/bridge, bristling with guns.

Ordering the first bitz soon, not sure whether to start with the Whale-Stormbird or the Levies and Magi.

I only like it because it is kind of true ruleswise. Since she does not have Act of Faith or War Hymns. Preventing the use of AoF when she is attached to SoB units.

Not really. You don't have to run Black Guardians as part of the Ynnari detachment, so they'll still have Battle Focus. You can happily make your non-scatter Deep Strike within 9", then run up to 6" away from a vehicle, spread out, and fire your Fusion Guns up its backside.

Hello again GGA! Personally trying to get back into painting my Chimeras. Can't really go back to the board until they're done as right now my mid-board presence is so sorely lacking.

If your going apocalypse, you should start looking into the Marauder Bomber. Not particularly practical, but having a space-B52 run over the board and eliminate ALL the enemy's infantry is a riot.

You don't even need to do anything desu. I field this classic nigga as a footslogging Lord. You can get away with a lot of stuff in 40k due to the nature of the setting. IG regiment wearing peasant attire? Knight World levies. CSM with medieval armour? Warriors generally don't give a fuck + their own practices, Khorne especially gets away with this more easily.

Plus you can buy the Chaos Lord a Juggernaut so yes you have rules.

They weren't great before but the most recent codex FAQ fucking gutted them. Combined with being a FotM army and interest in them subsequently dropping off like normal it's not hard to see why nobody talks about them.

Fuck off, it's no secret GW updates the factions they feel like working on more than anything else, so you shouldn't be surprised your meme army lacks updates. Aspects meanwhile are hot shit, Spiders especially given the current meta, but the only update they've received in 10+ years is shifting to fucking Fineshit.

>Then Guard armies that are not catachan or Cadian.
Pretty much retired, also plastic vehicles

>Did grey knight got plastic
...Yes? Only their characters are still Finecast and even now the next Triumvirate will feature a plastic dude.

>if your armie does not have its basic unit in plastic or haves a decade old plastic kit

don't even fucking mention jetbikes you fucking motherfucker this is Biel-Tan. And yes if metal guard regiments count as legit armies then so does my craftworld.

Question: for the Traitor Legions supplement, it always says "Any Unit that can take VoTLW must do so at no additional cost" - does that mean VoTLW is free or am I reading this wrong?
>>
>>51819948
As much as I love marines, after years of basically the same shit for decades. They get boring and you end seeing blue marines, black marines, red marines, grey marines, green marines, etc

Beside paint and maybe some chapter symbols you can run what ever Marine chapter you want without any problem. Maybe Grey Knight and Space Wolf could be harder to do.

Mechanicus and GSC is something new I can get behind, hell even if I dislike the new SoB models at least it something that is not marines.

SoB need a mercy squat or get a proper update, but right now? It is just sad.

Aren't Orks on the same boat as Eldar? With models old as fuck? At least Eldar codex is broken op so you can live with old models but Orks? They suck and are old.
>>
new Nids when?
>>
>>51820083
Easier to work with, holds detail better and plastic doesn't suddenly start rotting.
>>
>>51820083
Metal is heavy and puts strain on the joints when you move it about so it's more likely to fall apart.

Plastic is light and soft, it's also very easy to cut so you can reshape it if you need to.
>>
>>51820083
For wargaming metal is a bitch, since it will chip off eventually. Pinning metal models can get old fast when you have more than 10 models.

I like metal models, but for gaming they suck ass.
>>
>>51820088
Lots of Ork models are pretty old, but unlike the Eldar Aspect Warriors which are fucking monopose finecast shit, most ork models are plastic and thus infinitely easier to convert and modify.
Also, despite their age, Ork boys are still entirely workable models.

Anything with D really.
All the other armies you mentioned you can compensate somehow by using cover/line of sight but a D6 is gonna fuck you hard.

>+any turn one alpha strike army
If you meant a Drop Pod heavy army, I'll always let them go first. If you aren't playing in an empty field you can hide/shield your most precious units and then enjoy having them in rapid fire/charge range.
>>
>>51820133

If you're in a terrain you still get the cover from the terrain type.
It will fuck veichles hit directly/from a naked side but infantry will only have trouble from the artillery formation/carriages.

And against such an army you should try to get the Strategic Infiltrate Warlord trait. If you can't get either buy 7 riptides and call it a day.

Wishlist for hypothetical IG 8th Edition:

>Rebalance Elites
The Ogryns need more resilience, the Ratlings more effective
>Rebalance Russes
The Punisher needs a nerf, the vanquisher a buff, and the ordinance Russes recosted.
>Put the formations in the codex please!
If we're gunna have them, at least have a definitive version in the codex. Seriously, there's at least 3 different Emp's Fist formations and 2 different Emp's Shield formations.
>Chimeras should get Autocannons.
Because I want space Bradleys
>More Heroes
If our faction has heroes without number, I'd like to see more characters to represent that. Fall of Cadia provides excellent fodder for this. I can imagine a hero Chimera that gains 'Fast' and can flat out after loading/unloading troops, just as an example.
>Another tank commander
This one gives extra orders to his unit and has outflank for a warlord trait. So if Pask is the shooty commander, this guy is the buffy commander.
>Regiment-Specific Orders
Since we are an army focused on teamwork and chain of command instead of individual skill, taking a specific regiment should confer special orders as an alternative to chapter tactics/Canticles of the Omnisiah.
>Give the Commissar a role
At this point, he's just a crappier priest. Sure a priest can't go to ground, but it wasn't like we wanted to waste our company commander's orders on get back into the fight anyways. Maybe something like "Commissar always responds to orders"
>Voxcasters extend order range instead of rerolls.
This eliminates the need for infantry armies to blob up as much since they can now benefit from company orders from further away. Increasing flexibility of the army as a whole.
>>
>>51821065

Like you can upgrade a unit, perhaps restricting it to one per army or one per FoC slot, with upgrades to represent a particular aspect or trait of that unit ("The crew of this tank have become legendary amongst their regiment and beyond for pushing the limits of their vehicle even beyond what considers sane; they can opt to fire their primary weapon twice, but it now Gets Hot, or something like that)

Well I had to cancel an order of "made to order" products because they run out of stock.

I shit you not, GW sold me out of stock made to order models and then try to change my order for something else.
Funny thing is, i said fuck it and agree to that. Later they tell me they can't do that so I had to cancel the order.

4 months of mails back and forward trying to figure where my shit was till they admit they never send the crap.

Really, I don't know why it's a big deal if it is reskinned chapter tactics. Chapter tactics are great. They're distinct bonuses that add flavor to an army and reward you for building your force a certain way.

Quick question,

GW has that whole thing about demonstrating your model's wargear ON them, but it should be pretty easily understood that a tactical marine that has two bolt pistols is still a fucking tactical marine and has a boltgun and a knife too, right?

Also, am I a fag if I give my assault (or tactical) sergeant that has a plasma pistol and a chainsword two plasma pistols? Since it's it's the exact same thing, but 15 pts cheaper?

I remember someone here "lost" a Imperial Space Marine when a few hoodlums walked into his FLGS while he was playing a game.

Personally though, I've only ever lost a bit here an' there. I thought I lost some Death Company a while ago, but it turns out I was just counting wrong because I'm retarded. I did lose a squad of Terminators and a Karlaen per se, though again, it was to my own retardation rather than any actual physical disappearance of the model. Pic related, I painted him with some Testors Enamel paint, panicked when I realized I fucked up, then fucked up even harder by using paint thinner to strip him and his squad. Pretty much melted all the detail straight off of them. Still not sure what to do with 'em.

I'm saying that Orders are better for the guard than discount chapter tactics because they help to differentiate the guard from other factions.

They're unique to our faction, they fit better with the Guard's fluff, and they put emphasis on the HQ without the usual risks that come with a good HQ i.e. Deathstars.

Chapter Tactics and its equivalents basically says "These guys are better at X. They became better at X through practice, wargear, or training".
Orders for the guard says "We are NOT better at X. But we become better at X by trusting our commanders and our comrades to do what is asked of them. Alone we are nothing, and only together are we strong."

>>
>>51822154
I think both is a good way to go. I absolutely love orders just saying. I would like to have orders as well as unique orders for certain factions while losing other standard ones.

Also things like Catachans having Infiltrate, 6+ armor, army wide stubborn and restrictions on what other units they can bring like no artillery, no flyers, no psykers, or limited russes. Stuff like that as an example.

Or for another army, things like +1 Initiative when in base to base contact.

>could you imagine what I would do with deep striking ghost arks?
>>
>>51822313
I disagree with pidgeonholing certain regiments like that. It should be more general stuff, like having Catachans represent most Deathworld regiments.

As for the exact rules, a better option would be scout for all units not in vehicles and under a certain size, Furious Charge to represent higher than average strength, and Stubborn for the grit.

That gives a different way of running Guard that favors more small units that move forward quickly and have stubborn to offset the small unit sizes. Throw in an Order to give a squad Rampage and you've really got an army of Rambos in space.

Fuck finecast.
>>
>>51822472
Yeah. The key is to come up with something fitting for an existing regiment in fluff, but not add too many restrictions so people can apply it to their own ideas as well.

For Cadians, as another example, it would be more about regiments specializing in defenses against particularly terrifying forces. Adamantium Will would be a good starting point, as would Overwatch at BS 2 or Counterattack for extra line-holding ability. Probably a third benefit as well, though overall I'm not familiar enough with Guard regiments or fluff to make the best suggestions here.

My army is mostly a big Guard platoon, Rough Riders, Bullgryn, Jacobus and I just wanted to fill out the other 3 troop slots with Scions for cheap troops and also mobility/anti-armor.

I'm also not sure if I can run Straken in the Castellan detachment. It says a Company Command Squad, but it doesn't really specify anything else. It does go out of its way to say you can have Pask and then also a Tank Commander, so that's leading me to believe you cannot take Straken/Creed.

Orkz NutStompa Clan.jpg
251KB, 900x1432px
(1/2) Greetings, famously-kind-and-patient /40kg/!!

I'm a very new player who just started collecting a month or so ago, and I'm seeking some advice for my Ork Clan, the NutStompa'z

>inb4 just quit while you're behind

I know, I know. But Orkz are what got me into playing video games like DoW1 and DoW2 years ago, and I've been an Ork Fanatic ever since. Losing is just the Ork Life. As long as I can express myself in the way I want to play, then I'm relatively happy. I'm not interested in WAAC spamming my way to victory, so spamming bikes isn't my style. But I'd still like to have a competitive chance, so here we are.

Which brings me to my list. This list has been compiled as a general "melee-focused but overall balanced" army that would be able to deal with commonly found other shooty armies such as Guard, Space Marines, Eldar, Tau, Necron, etc.

I've been watching a lot of battle reports on youtube, and I figure I have a better chance to survive into turn 3 if I utilize line of sight blockers in a non-conventional way. My *plan* to make it through open areas is to use the large size of my battle wagons to basically drive as SIDEWAYS as I can, with most of my boyz following close behind OUTSIDE of the vehicle, positioned in such a way that most enemy units would'nt be able to spot my boyz. Then, I would utilize all my bikers and stormboyz to jump over my own boyz and battle wagon, and make it into melee by declaring a WAAGH at the same time my snikrot kommandos make it onto the field from behind (ideally). The buffed up klaw kommandos would go looking for a fight, and the weaker kommando squad would go capture any objectives and just go to ground. All the while I have a couple zzap guns hopefully softening up big targets for me on my backline. If my opponent wanted to deep strike and take out my mek gunz, I wouldn't care - hes just splitting himself up.

(2/2) cont.

I have a couple of requirements so far. I'm definitely keeping my meganobz, because I have four ork juggernauts from Kromlech, and theyre so amazing looking that I dont care how many points they cost. I also just spent 1.5 weeks painting up my stormboyz, so they're in as well. I'm also enamoured with kommandos, and I just want to maximize their effectiveness by being able to outflank. Kind of like an Iron Maiden torture device - you have spikes in the back, spikes closing in from the front, and somoene is throwing baseballs (mek gunz) at you from far away while youre trying to escape.

Any advice / tips / general help other than "kys" and "give up now"?

Should I replace my rokkits with big shootas? Should I change up my battle wagon wargear? Anything else?

Thanks in advance!!
>>
>>51823016
Better? Arguably.
More realistic and feasible? Certainly not.
In any case, I still like it. Valkia needs a 40k equivalent or at the very least a resurrection in AoS.
>>
>>51822975
if you use the battlewagons as sightblockers keep them cheap as they have rather fragile sides

A a Tau player, how do you deal with Wraithknight spam?
They're almost 100 points less than a Stormsurge, and Stormsurges only get 4 D Missiles that each need a Markerlight just to make them D.
The Stormsurge formations are nowhere near as strong as Dreamwalker (even if Monsoon can lock down a Ghostglaive Wraith).
Riptides are virtually the same cost, but nowhere near as strong.
Tiger Shark is overcosted.
Bringing Fusion/Plasma-spam Crisis Suits or Sniper Teams "works", but it takes too many shots to realistically bring it down.

Is Tau'nar the only choice, or am I missing something?

Rather than rokkits on boys considers them on kommandoes as they can get rear shots in more reliably.

Its shit.

You're running boys, which are shit.

More boys in a formation that makes you think they're going to do stuff but its just boys who have made it further up the board. Not to mention only five of them.

Shit.

Aside from your MANZ and your 2 groups of 3 bikes you're footslogging.

Your entire strategy revolves around pretending armies don't move and your side drifting Battlewagons can somehow offer your shit boys shit cover for shit durability.

Nothing in your list will do anything while its on your table and for 1850 points you accomplish nothing, have no field presence, and aren't playing to any strengths.

May as well be fielding this bullshit.

You spend points of bad upgrades.

I'd honestly remove the klaws on the boyz and kommandos, they'll never live long enough to do anything meaningful with them. Cutting them will save points.
The kommandos would just have to stand there for a turn after outflanking/infiltrating anyway, just keep one squad with a klaw and make that the one snikrot joins.

Get rid of the 'ard case, grot riggers, extra armour on the battlewagons and rokkit launchers on the first wagon.

If you can, move the rokkit boyz to the tank busta squad, you should put the meganobz in one wagon and tankbustas in the other.

Don't drive the wagons sideways, they have shit side armour.

Zapp gunz a shit, run them as mega kannons.

Group your bikers.

Any spare points left spend on increasing the size of your squads.

>>
>>51823148

Thank you anon, I appreciate the advice, but let me explain my reasoning a little more:

I put 'ard case on my wagons because I'm envisioning scenarios when someone else is bike spamming me and tries to surround my blobbed units to get better shots. If I have extra access points on the sides of my wagon, I could retreat many of my units inside of the wagon and come out the other side. Also, I could better utilize my unit layout by going in one side and out the other if I do make it into range successfully. I'm aware that I can;t depart a vehicle and assault in the same turn (I think), so I just wanted to give my regular boyz some options and not force them to go around a big ol bus. Unless I'm mistaken, then please let me know.

My reasoning behind giving kommandos some klaws is that I can tie up back lines in melee, instead of shooting at them with rockets and missing.

As for my meganobz, I just wanted variety and options. Are you sure that I'd be overwatching that frequently with meganobz? Do people try and engage them in melee when they all have klaws? I'm only a month into collecting and havent played an actual game yet, but if thats a thing that happens, I'll switch it up.

I'll blob up my bikes though for sure. I split them up into 2 groups so they can tie up more enemy squad and have a better chance of surrounding by splitting up. I know I'm more likely to lose morale that way, but this is my thought process so far.

Also thanks for the bossnob shoota tip.

Anything else?

Excellent advice, hopefully youc an educate me a little more:

I realize wagons have weak armor in general, especially side armor, but that's why I was just gonna put my meganobz in one and nothing in the other, footslogging my boyz up the field. That way, if my wagons explode, very little true value will be lost, while my bikes and stormboyz can still move straight over them when necessary. If this is way too convoluted of a plan though, I'll ditch it.

I heard that ork upgardes are too costly right now, so if you recommend having more boyz with less gear, I'll do it.
>>
>>51823494
>I'm aware that I can;t depart a vehicle and assault in the same turn
You can if they're open-topped but 'ard case makes it so they're not.
If you gave the boyz trukks or let them in the wagons they would be allowed to depart and charge in the same turn.
>My reasoning behind giving kommandos some klaws is that I can tie up back lines in melee, instead of shooting at them with rockets and missing.
They can't charge the turn they outflank/infiltrate so they're going to have to just sit there for a turn.
Give them burnas and outflank them, burnas can be used as power swords.
>Are you sure that I'd be overwatching that frequently with meganobz

Battle wagons cost a shitload of points.

av14 front armour isn't bad and a killikannon is a good weapon, it can justify it's points cost if you're using it that way but it's way too costly to use as moving cover. I mean, it costs more than the squads you're using it to protect!

Klaws are good on nobz but not if they're in a squad that won't live to see much combat.

Boyz are disposable meat shields and nothing more. 25 points may not seem like much but when the base squad is 60 points that's almost a 50% increase, unless you're running them as one huge horde it's not worth it.

What part of >thats the Ork horde detachment, wasn't clear?

That is an Ork specific Detachment that you can CHOOSE to run to get those benefits.

The alternative and much better choice is the rulebook detachment called Combined Arms (because of objective secured and no 3rd troop choice tax).

Seriously, read the rulebook and then read it again, and then read it a third time.

>the army that actually can just vaporize a not psychically buffed wraithknight rather easily
My question was how I can do that. I listed reasons that I figure didn't work.
If it's not clear, I'm not talking about one or two Wraithknights, because a Stormsurge can probably beat them 1:1 and taking two at 1850 points isn't too costly. I'm talking about a 4+ Dreamwalker formation.

>>51823762

That's an optional detachment. You can always elect to use a standard Combined Arms Detachment from the main Rulebook.

Furthermore, you don't have to take Boyz. Grots are also troop choices, and are pretty much the superiour option every time. They're cheap, they sit on objectives, and most importantly, they fulfill the mandatory troop slots, giving you more points to spend on the actually effective stuff in your army, like Meganobz, Lootas, Tankbustas, Mek Gunz and Biker Boyz.

A note on list-building in the current edition; you can have as many Detachments as you like. Formations are a type of Detachment. Nothing stops you from running 3 Combined Arms Detachments if you feel like it.

>but it's way too costly to use as moving cover. I mean, it costs more than the squads you're using it to protect!

geez, looking at another list like the one below, I can see what you mean...
>>51823744

What I was trying to avoid the entire time is the horrible failure I keep seeing on channels like tabletoptactics or miniwargaming where the ork players just drive headfirst straight at tau firing lines and hope for the best. So my thought process was to give myself ever-moving cover. But seeing how expensive the wagons are when I intend to use them that way, I really do have very little field presence.

Is there any other way to avoid the "hope the shooty army rolls low while I drive straight at them and hopefully not die" syndrome?

>If I have extra access points on the sides of my wagon, I could retreat many of my units inside of the wagon and come out the other side.

The entire vehicle is an access point if you leave it Open Topped.

>My reasoning behind giving kommandos some klaws is that I can tie up back lines in melee

There are very few units that 5 Kommandos can assault and reliably tie up. There's a case for giving them a Klaw to take on vehicles, but frankly it's way too expensive on a unit that are just Boyz with Stealth. They will just get focused down, and they have to spend their first turn with their thumbs up their arse. Woe betide you if the enemy has Ignore Cover.

>Do people try and engage them in melee when they all have klaws?

Yes, if they have Ap2 at initiative. Proper assault units eat MANZ for breakfast. MANZ are disposable missiles; keep 'em cheap, get them stuck into something, don't care when they die.

>Anything else?

Biker Boyz, Lootas, Tankbustas, Mek Gunz (only some variants) MANZ. I've just listed all the decent units in the codex. Support options like Trukks and Painboyz are useful. Only Formations really worth considering are Bullyboyz and....actually come to think of it that's about it.

There is a reason that keeps happening. It's really the only thing Orks can do against Tau. We can't outshoot them. They can shoot us off objectives. Only option is close in and pray.

plasma and sniper wound a wraithknight on 6
S6 to T8 and poison vs gargantuan creatures, so they are only used to shove the last wound of or something

S7 Ap4 which tau get in droves (Broadsides with clumsy rocketfists and missile drone) etc is more promising

other than that firewarriors can wound him, as can sniperkroot both which can be taken in masses, especially breachers for the lulz.

you can increase your to-wound rolls with this monsterhunter signature (i think it also works on GC not sure)

What's wrong with that statement? I'm both retarded and new, like I said.

Wraithknights are 300-point units. If my entire force is pumping shots into this single model, that means he has 1500+ points of scatbikes and psykers going unmolested. And if I don't kill it, I've virtually lost a turn. If I divide my power, I probably won't kill it.

Gorillion missile pods with buffmander for twin-links and monster hunter can bring pain. Statistically the knight should take some wounds but I've seen the miracle of dices happen way too often. Skyray unloading full volley with good markerlight support shaves 2 wounds. Riptide wing with HBC going all in brings the pain too. But dealing with wraithknight(s) is really bothersome even for tau. Especially if the eldar goes first and gets his psychics up and/or gives the D to key units.

Not even going to try to defend this one, you're right.

>unlike SM dont have droppods and teleport homers on every leg
You haven't been able to assault out of pods the turn they drop in literally forever. Teleport homers are fucking worthless because they only work on Terminators, and locator beacons are too costly to spam because they do not work the turn they come down and will be focus fired/opponent will move out of their area/they'll be fucking worthless because the unit they were supposed to escort comes in same turn as them.

There is no ranged-blob force anywhere who is actually afraid of that. It doesn't insta-kill T4, which is a big issue facing Tau, it doesn't ignore cover, it's short ranged, and it's on an easy to pop chassis. I mean it's cheap, sure, but it's just not scary.

If argue the CSM formation is pretty good in conparison, at least as assault goes. You can actually toss a Chaos Lord with them and can get Warp Talons instead of standard assault marines, which need those extra charge attacks to be deadly.

The actual dangerous part of Skyhammer is relentless Grav Devastators.

>Hilarious part is that Wraithknight is not much more durable than the fucking Riptide.
Doesn't it have more Toughness and Wounds? And they don't need Markerlight support since they come in at WS/BS 8. But the real issue is that it comes with D Weapons on top of that, whereas the Riptide has to take it down through volume.

Please don't interpret this as me complaining, or me justifying the Riptide, or me saying Tau is bad. I'm simply asking about how I can deal with Wraithknights.
>>
>>51824778
they scatter all over the damned place
warp talons are really fukken expensive and only S4

>>51824797
That's my point. Vanilla marines are getting 3 attacks per assault marine, and 4 from the seargeant with a power sword or something similar. At most, they'll have a pair of evicerators to deal damage with.

For comparison, the Chaos formation is going to have 1 less attack each on their Raptors, but could bring Plasma or Melts over flamers. As well, you're talking at least 4 attacks from the Chaos lord, which means the unit can go after more dangerous targets. Alternatively, you can go for warp talons and get 2 lightning claw attacks compared to 3 chainsword attacks for vanilla marines, along with the potential to blind.

Disorderly charges aren't that big of a downside on squads that actually get options.

2+ and t6 gives riptide great resilience against massed small arms but then again WK is straight up immune to anything s4 or worse. I suppose riptide is superior at tanking autocannons and krak missiles and worse against everything else.

I always felt the Looted Wagon's profile should change depending on the enemy you face, and when facing two or more factions you chose which profile you received.

AV13 Tank w/ extra armor, Ramshackle. Gun is now ordinance

Go take a look at Escalation's Transcendent C'tan. Necrons used to own the Lords of War slot.

>>51825219
Used to, being the keyword there.

I guess the answer might be to make a more shooty version of Mega armor
>>
>>51825219
That's better.

>>51825245
And? You're atoning for past sins. It's the same reason why Warriors have a 4+ save and Monoliths are garbage. The oldschool Monolith Phalanx, which was the Necron Apocalypse superheavy alternative from back when they didn't have any except for maybe the Pylon, was one of the most bullshit formations of its time. It would probably still be good in the current meta if it retained old Gauss, seeing as the death march playstyle it supported would be excellent in the current system.

They sort of tried that. Of course, with predictable incompetence when it comes to all things Orky, GW made it shit.

>Except it won't, because any good deathstar will be invisible
Invisibility is *very* difficult to get off when you're competing for WC with the guy who wants to prescience his big guns and your opponents team is willing to throw 12+ dice to stop it.

>Please don't tell me you're sticking them with Celestine
Nope. Celestine's my off-brand distraction Carnifex.

May be a looted version of those Imperial Guard buggies they sell.

I think the real reason Forgeworld doesn't make Ork stuff is that Ork players are more willing to kitbash to just use the rules. Why buy a mega bomba or whatever when you can just build one from plasticard?

>>51825306
Seriously? How hard is it to just let Meganobz take twin-linked skorchas or something.

Hell, chuck a grot-manned big shoot a turret on their backs while you're at it.

Good teams don't have this problem. Shit, good PLAYERS don't have this problem. Presicience is nice, but Invisibility is MANDATORY. Do not bank on it not going off, because if it is rolled it WILL be cast.

>your opponents team is willing to throw 12+ dice to stop it
Except you're playing Sisters and have like two dice, so unless your teammates are GK, Daemons or a psychic deathstar of your own you won't have those dice.

>Nope
Then what the fuck are they doing? Footslogging? I shouldn't even need to tell you why that's a bad idea.

What does that even mean? How about you fuck off.

Nah monoliths are way to easy to kill now to justify taking them en masse.
>>
>>51825406
Not really. The old Monolith's only weakness was the D. I guess it'd also die to Haywire, but it gave no shits about melta and the rare lance, nor grav.
>>
>>51825406
Sounds like they need to make a Necon titan. Like a giant spider sphinx or something
>>
>>51825481
giant centipede
>>
>>51825471
I was talking about current monoliths using that formation, but yeah the old school monolith was great.

>>51825481
I'd settle for having the current set of super heavies being worth taking.

As a man who is trying to build more custom dudes out of Mark IV sets, DA Upgrade sprues, and Mark VI sets, let me just say:

GW HAS gotten better at moulding because CHRIST the lines on these DA Boltguns.

>>51824787
you know what the fuck I mean, you pedant.

>>51825798
i dunno if they got better i think the old moulds are simply more worn out

The Lion has been in the middle of The Rock since the Dark Angels first got actual fluff beyond being a color scheme in Rogue Trader.
It's not an "advancing the story" thing.

It was explicitly stated as what was going on in Codex: Angels of Death back in 2ed by Rick Priestly and Jervis Johnson.
