What's the general consensus on Aaron Dembski-Bowden's writing?

My father always told me to never trust a man with a hyphenated last name. But 'The First Heretic' sexually aroused me.

>>51964718
he's polarizing

I don't really like his books much.

>>51964718
Excellent writing, poor stories. If that makes sense.

For those that missed it at the tail end of last thread, plastic Mk III and tartaros are being released as separate kits, for typical GW prices (i.e. much more than you pay if you get BoP or get the kits off ebay.)

Everyone sucked his cock until Master of Mankind and now to a bunch of the people who post on the subject he's the most tumblr/sjw/reddit/buzzword thing ever.

Bear in mind where you are when that kind of opinion comes up.

The reality of his quality as a writer is that he's a qood writer with a limited toolbox where character realisation is concerned with a firm belief on the Bad Ending of the setting, and everyone finally noticed.

>>51964819

Too much of daddy issue when dealing with the Emprah and the Primarchs. And he doesn't know how to write about Loyalists.

That shit is either ironic or by newfriends.

>>51964718
I quite like his books, some people hate his 'muh snowflake waifu' characters but I didn't really notice them until /tg/ pointed them out. They are usually secondary characters with a few people in front of them with regards to page time. While some people do I don't consider it to be tumblr tier writing.

His Night Lord series are good, as is Helsreach (one of my fave warhammer books) and the Horus Heresy books of his that I have read.

Would havoc launcher on a scorpius be a good idea? One more blast doesn't seem like a bad idea and it has equal range to the scorpius launcher. Lacks Barrage, though.

>>51964524
MkIII helmet guy from last thread ia right, I hope I can buy some MKII ones from someone to make my BoP guys pretty.

Is it possible to have a squadron of two Phobos Land Raiders, one with a choppy squad and the other with a Primarch and maybe a Primus Medicae, drive them close to the enemy, disembark, have the Primarch and Medicae join the other squad, and assault as one unit?

As I understand it, an IC just has to move within 2" of a unit in the movement phase to join it and embarking and disembarking are done in the movement phase. So as long as the unit and ICs disembark so that they're within 2" of one another, they should be able to join.

>>51965488

How much black would be appropriate for a heresy-era chaplain? Should I just paint him in standard legion colours with some identifying markings like I did with my super apothecary?

>>51965779
Just the shoulder pads maybe?

>>51965779
I think he needs something to identify him as a chaplain otherwise it gets confusing as he is just another terminator. Your apothecary is really well painted but there is nothing that identifies him as such unless you look really close.

> Legion pauldrons go on the right shoulder in certain cases
>My legion marking looks stupid and if facing the wrong way unless it is on the left.

Ah yeah, I forgot the EC legion marking was asymmetric.

I'm currently cutting up some of the big rectangle boarding assault shields to use with my breachers because I hate the other ones that leave like half the model exposed.

Are UM Breachers with power swords decent as a MEQ killers

Thinking of taking a squad of 20 Peltasts amongst my Reductor. Is it worth taking them in a Triaros to move them up faster and having an auxiarch for the bonuses they provide?

>>51965488
Why the fuck not. I'd allow it.
Mind if I ask, why two Land Raiders instead of one Spartan Tank? I don't like Spartan hammer units, just asking.

>>51965953
Favorite Unit(s)? Tacticals/Terminators of any kind, Walkers (Dreads, Knights, Titans) and drop pods of all sorts.

To me that's what sort of defines 40k/30k, hardend infantry fighting alongside towering war machines

>>51964718

>>51966664
On a side note, I assume that having, say, the primarch and primus in a proteus and joining a unit that comes out of a phobos, denies the whole unit the ability to assault.

>>51966749
They're not just Mongols, they're the primary stand-in legion for everything Oriental.

>>51966749
Those don't look remotely Japanese. And Mongol swords often looked a lot like that - sabers with more curve to them, but not as much as a scimitar would have. Good for use from horseback.

But yeah, they've got parallels to feudal Japan (all the arts and crafts samurai practiced in their downtime) and China (their Taoist-ish philosophy and Art of War-like proverbs).

A full squad of breachers with swords is 240 points while a full vet squad with swords is 260. While you lose hardened armour and the 5++ you get 2 more attacks per guy and WS5. I'd say vets are much better.

>>51965953

So do the Reductor fleets show up in any fluff at all? Seems like a hugely powerful, self-sufficient armada of Tech-priest Iron Warriors who are better company would show up and get shit done more often than just Decima. They were mostly Loyalist, I can see a huge Reductor fleet engaging the Traitors in a glorious naval battle.

I like that their job description is "when the Legions are being a bunch of pussies because something is more dangerous than a Militia Conscript, you go solve that problem".

>>51967295
The bald custodian head had a real egyptian feel and fit really nicely in tartaros armour. The sword is a tomb guard halberd jammed on the termie sabre and I cut the guard off. Made sense that the best telekien in the sons would lead a raptora arcana sekhmet group.

>>51967410
That does look really good. I'm looking forward to seeing him painted.

>>51967190
did Phosis wear termi armour tho?

>>51967565
I don't think he did, but Mr Phosis "I kill custodes with ease" T'kar deserves to have some pretty pimping armor regardless due to his bro tier-ness

>>51967606
Can't you just recreate him with iron halo + Raptora benefit?

>>51967295
Why do people like him so much? I'm listening to audiobook of TS and he just seems like a generic hot headed asshole.

I wonder what the FW book with the White Scars will cover. Tempest did cover just one new legion (UM), so it's a possible template - but I think the UM have enough fans to be the only new army in a book and the WS don't.

If it's anything like the WS novels, it would also cover the Emperor's Children as they become more and more debauched and daemonic. The Death Guard are also in those books, but they haven't changed yet.

The Sagyar Mazan could be featured alongside Shadrak Meduson and friends, which means Dwell and Molech could be in the same book. That means daemonic SoH, Slaaneshi knights, Imperial Army, a few UM and BA.

>>51967649
>Why do people like him so much?
I also wonder about that, because he seemed like a bit of an arrogant prick that cared a little too much about his looks.

But then again there are also people who play Empreror's Children by their own free will...

>>51968302
In Angron's case it was permanent.

>>51968302
I've just read that. It was one of the TS captains and Kharn. He didn't want to remove the nails but rather remove the sickness (chaos taint) from Kharn.

>>51968302
Big E tried to remove the Nails on Angron, but I would have killed him, so he didn't because he could still serve a purpose despite his state. It's in MoM.

>>51968367
ah right must've misunderstood that bit. Still seems liek a pretty blatant blood ravens reference with Revuel Arvida.

>>51968224
I get the impression that Angron never really sought death.

I think he just wanted to be happy, dying with his brothers and sisters was the best case scenario he could think of so he got fixated on that, but didn't realize that nothing would satisfy him.

It's my interpretation of why he never commits suicide even though he's so perpetually miserable.

Breachers by far.

I really love the idea of a walking tank. Be it in vidya or tabletop, I always loved bulky, massively armored guys,and breachers are top notch on that point. Slow unstoppable juggernauts, Mankind's relentless advance among the stars.

The Last Son of Prospero, spoiled:
One of the many shards of Magnus's psychic remains is on earth, so Malcador tries to use Arvida's body (in the last stages of the flesh change) to bring Magnus back so he can sit on the Golden Throne. It doesn't quite work - the Magnus-shard does merge with Arvida, but the result is something in between - with the name of Arvida's tutelary, Ianius. i.e. Janus.

So the tutelaries were probably Magnus-shards from the start, and the new creature tells Malcador sorry for not being Magnus because they both know he's now going to end up dying.

>>51968848
Yeah, accepted it for BoP since it was fair enough and launched before force weapon termies and just bought some left armies and blades from the 40k set.

>>51969032
Interesting about the tutelaries though they still seem more like warp entities since they actively try to force some sons to go out of control and perils. Maybe they are like the beings that exist between the golden throne barrier and the warp, just neutral beings of raw power.

Also even if Magnus sat on the throne it would still be broken since he fried the circuitry on it.

>>51969111
>Also even if Magnus sat on the throne it would still be broken since he fried the circuitry on it.
The Emperor's still able to use it (and Malcador, briefly) so it isn't THAT broken.

>>51969111
>>51969132
The webway barrier breach is the actual issue, all the mechanisms could have been eventually repaired by the Emperor had somebody else sat in while he did it.

>>51969111
>>51969032
The Magnus shard and Ianius are theoretically distinct beings, see also Khayon's wold and the TS from Unchanged's chesire cat tutelary.

I think what the shard meant when he likened himself (itself?) to the tutelary was more complex than that, not just 'lol all eleventy-thousand of them are tiny bits of my power cast backwards in time that developed personalities'
I mean, I think that's probably possible too, just that it's more wrapped up in Tzeentchy shit than simple cause and effect.

It's the only reprieve he knows and doesn't know how to stop. Angron simply is a crack baby due to getting the nails early. He's nature and nurture just fosters toward violence and nothing else. Angron knows that other things exists, but he makes excuses/knows that he's far too gone to change.

Is there any fluff in the big books about the significance of the helmet crests for squad leaders? Specifically Imperial Fists?

I was thinking of dividing my tactical squads up with blue, green, and red markings, and I'm wondering if a green helmet with a white plume would look better than a red helm with a green plume.

Would it be wrong to give SW vets winged helmets Viking style or is that too Dark Angels?

>>51970111
If you believe in yourself, you can do anything!

It would be a change from the usual aesthetic. You'd need a story behind it, especially if they're the only squad with the wings and aren't an assault squad.

And AFAIK winged helmets are older than the Vikings/not exclusive to them. They were a thing for Mercury/Hermes.

>>51970278
They aren't Viking at all actually, they were celtic and usually part of the depiction of birds on helmets or actual wings since celts adorned metalwork with stylised animals. Same with horns on helmets, don't know why it ever got associated with vikings though perhaps valkyries and germanic depictions of norse myth presented them as such.

>>51970278
>Pics of the helmets?

Haven't made any yet. Thinking of using the spare wings from the DA veteran kit on MkIV helmets.

>>51970307
damn nigga, that's work

>>51970384
I think you're thinking of a different design.
Sue-zerains have gold wings on the nose, beakie-style, whereas DA have them on the side of the head, generally white or feather-coloured IIRC

>>51970441
Might want to use the Ravenwing Knights helmet wings, the DA ones are pretty huge.

>>51970565
Those have a much more distinct DA style to them and are part of the MkVI helmet (I know they're separate from the main body of the helmet, but the wing bits contain the sides of the helmet, so they don't just apply to any old helmet without some work).

>>51970536
It's not too DA, it's too goofy. The wings look too big. But it worked well on the old Blood Bowl human team; they had small wings on their helmets. So I do like the concept, just not sure the DA bits are reasonable enough.

Anyone know where the Victory is Vengeance campaign rules are? My store only has 4x4 tables, and it might be more fun than massively upgrading everything to play games with my slowly growing Mechanicum.

Question about the "more infantry units than tank units" restriction some legions have. Do HQ choices count as an extra infantry unit for this, (obviously assuming they're not riding some form of bike, or are a damocles rhino,) even if you're going to add them to a squad? My understanding is they only get added to a squad (becoming a single unit) during deployment, and this restriction is at the list-building stage before that, but wanted to check.

FW and BL coordinated their fluff with each other. That was one of Laurie Goulding's jobs, and he arrived about a year before FW Book 1. There were already 15+ BL HH books by then, so there could've been discrepancies with those.

Any differences after that are just the same story told from a different perspective. And yes, sometimes with a better writer.

I don't generally support recasting, but it sounds like GW would make more money from you if you did buy recasts from China alongside a (real) plastic box set and maybe the occasional genuine FW purchase. Reddit has more info, or look up GW bases on Aliexpress and PM the vendors.

Betrayal at Calth is more useful for most armies than Burning of Prospero. Radio Free Isstvan (podcast) had a special episode sometime back about what to do with the box and some ideas on what should come next. The box basically gives you a decent Pride of the Legion list that just needs some mobility.

Most infantry, dreadnoughts, the Land Raider Phobos, and super-heavy tanks (including the Spartan) have a decent GBP/points ratio (>3). Bikes, Land Speeders, Rhinos (and stuff on that chassis), and Drop Pods are on the lower end of the affordability scale. The Land Raider Phobos is actually decent, especially with the Pride of the Legion rite of war because veteran squads can be less than 10 strong, which leaves enough room for a character. Do try to spend the extra $20 on the FW Mk. IIb for the 30k aesthetic. No, you absolutely don't have to, but of all the vehicles that have 40k GW and 30k FW versions that one is the least expensive to "upgrade" to the old-school look. It's less worthwhile to get FW Rhinos, Bikes, etc. - just get the plastic ones. But even those are poor points/money value.

They're a little cheaper because they and DG (and maybe SW now that they have troops with extra running) are somewhat viable without transports. Rhinos and Drop pods are expensive in money vs. points. Your firebase needs termies (Siege Tyrants) and terminators are generally cost effective.

Anons, I'm gearing up to provide a recasting service based in the US and am considering a box of Prospero/Calth size. Featuring 3 squads of tacticals, 5 cataphracti's and perhaps a Leviathan Siege dreadnought among special weaponry or other assorted goods.

For a box, what would be the optimal contents for around 3-5 squads with one or two vehicle options included?

The price point has yet to be decided, I'm aiming to undercut the regular boxes by 20-30 dollars.

>>51972405
Eh, as long as BaC and BoP are still in production I'd rather pay the extra $20-$30 and save all the cleanup required with resin.

Mk II, V, and VI is where you have a real opportunity - and/or assault marines, breachers, outriders, jetbikes, and javelins.

>>51972167
Yeah brah.
Use all those missile launchers to make an iron havoc squad.
Buy cyclone missile launchers bits to make Siege Tyrants out of B@C terminators.
The Terminator Praetor is literally the special character Golg in all but name.
Give one of the chaplains a fancy long antenna backpack. BAM master of signals.
Give the other termie (or chaplain) a thunder hammer. Or whatever. BAM Siege breaker.
EBay it up for some old IG Medusa/artillery. EBay again for some more termies (tartaros are cheap now).

Well shit. They do indeed make ordinary Termies in TS lists kinda pointless unless you want to fluff or have redundancy.

>>51972736
Thallax are very much a utility unit. They block infiltrators, mess up skimmers, jump around claiming objectives and generally being a nuisance. Using them to pop transports so your medusas can do work is a solid tactic, as is deep striking them danger close to backfield artillery.
Arvi might be a better choice for the hoplites than triaros, as they'll save you 60pts each (which you can put into a djinn skein for artillery spotting), unless you're going for a more ground based force or planning to use them for anti-air.

>>51972736
i feel like you're overcommitting with the melee secutarii, the haywire is nice but 30 of them is a bit much

>>51972920

>>51972974
>implying you don't want 30 haywire attacks on the charge

However, you make a good point. 10-12 should be sufficient, and it'll save some points too.

Not personally, but I imagine they work in a pretty straightforward manner. One suicide arvus squad (remember transport cap of 12) should be a big deterrent to spartanstars, though a convoy of triarii rolling up the field and chewing up everything in their way does have a certain charm...

My thought too.

The original plan was the Triarii rolling up in the hood and hitting anything that looks at it funny with some S16 goodness, then the (pseudo-deathstar) of gravmidons+Dominus and Hoplites jump out and shoot anything to death that's left.

Plus the Triarii and Knights will be fire magnets from the start, things go well then the Thallax can get into prime raping position while photonmidons and artillery just shell the hell out of everything left.

Maybe I should drop the additional Hoplites, grab a fourth Photonmidon, a Djinn-Skein, and then pimp out what's left. That sounds good

You're gonna be an infantry based legion focusing on close range fights both via shooting and assaulting, special/combi weapons are you're friends as they can fill many roles, Anti-Infantry (flamers), Anti MEQ/TEQ (plasma) and Anti-armour (melta)

The main vehicles you're gonna want are any of which can help to get you into position such as drop pods (Legion, Anvillus, Kharybdis,) Storm Eagles, and other assault based transport. Dreadnoughts with pods are also good for applying pressure. Give them the Leviathan treatment

As for actual infantry, Tacticals, Tactical Support, Veterans, Terminators,mJustaerin, Reavers (be careful with this one as they're already as pricey at 135 pts for 5 marine bodies)

But even then though, the LW/SoH can still be built however you want, this is just my advice for taking advantage of their special rules.

Disappointment if you paid $30 for a BoP box from a third party seller.

>>51974867

Very few people to actually play with at your LGS.

He probably got the $75 Amazon gift card promotion for a new Amazon CC, then burned it on a Prospero box.

Woops, am inebriated. $30 saved.

>>51974917
Don't care. I'll play with myself. hehehehe

Why this assumption?
NLs use tons of infantry and have stealthy shenanigans
BA and RG even have in their rules that they cannot bring more vehicles than marines because muh jump pack marines
WE only care about tonks so their infantry have something to arrive on

>>51976121
But many of those are CC armies and B@C/BoP are full of bolter marines.

>Grow to actively mistrust your clearly unstable primarch
>Go to sleep for a decade
>Wake up to find that your primach has become a drooling axe murderer
>Go to sleep for a couple decades
>Wake up to find that your primarch has rebelled and taken your beloved legion with him, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of loyal legionaries, and his end goal is laying siege to your home planet and killing your Emperor
>Oh, and you were woken up because the Ultramarines are currently boarding the ship to put an end to this madness
>Guess I better kill them instead of helping take a rebel flag ship in the name of the Emperor

I was going to ask about Peltast weapons and wether or not Ignis could compare to Radium carbines (multiple models under the blast template vs rolling 6's), but with pseudo-Barrage, Blind and the ability to still buy 30" munitions for cheap, I think I just answered my own question.

So have this alternate-setting Galvanic-caster pattern

just buy 40k guard basalisks and give them space marine crews

>>51977009

But there were no Chimeas in 30k.

>>51976967
I still question if the Ignis-blaze rounds should be ignoring cover in 30k, because they do with the 40k rules

If it was anyone else boarding them you might have a point.

And besides, it's Horus leading the revolt. Surely that means it must be in good faith. Horus wouldn't betray the Man-Emperor just because a servant of evil extra-dimensional god-beings stabbed him with a knife or something.

I don't know.
They lack both Ignores Cover (as a flame weapon should) and...
>Peltasts still have Blind Barrage
Oh my. 5+ cover save for Ordo Reductor Medusae. Maybe this can take on Castellan anon's fortress. Or at the very least on his artillery, the only bothersome element in the equation.

I'd like to reserve baking the next bread, if no-one minds.

Smoke is smoke, anon. Most tanks can cover themselves in smoke, IG commanders can order them to both smoke and shoot, why can't a third party cover the tank while it is focused on doing it's thing?

So, any ideas what legion, fluffwise, could be accompanied by some Custodes? I'm thinking about getting Custodes, but I don't think I should field them alone.

>>51978052

Imperial Fists, Yiffs of course, Raven Guard.

>>51978052
Imperial Fists

Just hunkered down and glow yellow and gold like the faggots they are.

>>51977021
Tell that to Graham McNeil.

>>51978052
Fists, Wolves, Dark Angels

>>51978076

McNeil is a hack.

>>51978057
>>51978062
>>51978078
Don't like Dark Angels, can't bring my self to field AWOOOOO and Imperial Fists are...okay. Probably a bit much with that yellow/gold, but okay.

>>51978112
My far-off-in-the-future project is a force of Fists, BLangels, and Custodes. Yellow, black and gold are stylish as fuck yo.

>>51978112

There were Custodes rolling with Corax as well.

>>51978124
>>51978126
Alright, Fists might be it.
Raven Guard, not really interested, sorry.

But I was also thinking about Ultramarines. I love the look of the Suzerain/Invictarii heads and their Breacher squads. But Guilimans sons were always good boys, not really much need for Custodes, I guess?

>>51978244
>Guilimans sons were always good boys
>What was Imperium Secundus

>>51978249
A necessity. And even if not, I don't recall Custodes being there.

Custodes were deployed alongside
>Dark Angels
They simply had to fight alongside them because they existed earlier than The First, and are seen together in The Last Church
>pre-heresy Emperor's Children
The IIIrd gained the honour of the Imperial Aquila because they saved the Emperor from a Vortex weapon. They, and not the Custodes. Source HH1
>Iron Warriors
This is not the obligatory-loyalist IW meme it fits though. The Emperor and Perturabo fought together, alongside their respective legios, as witnessed by Kharn in After De'Shea
>Woofs
Woofs
>Imperial Fists
The Emperor fought alongside them a lot, and Dorn himself uses an upscaled Custodes bolter, his armour being an Emperor cosplay
>Night Lords (Terran only)
Because contrasts are good and the Eight were The Emperor's Retribution. Not documented
>Blood Angels
Because Sanguinius a best and his elite boys are golden too. Not documented
>World Eaters (War Hounds)
Fought together alongside the Iron Warriors. Kharn admired them.
>Ultramarines
Why wouldn't they fight alongside the poster bois? Presumably razed Monarchia together.
>Death Guard
The XIVth is documented to have fought alongside the SoS in more than one occasion, and the Emperor & Companions rescued Mortarion, Dorn and Horus from some orks.
>Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus
The Emperor fought alongside the Firstfound & First Among Many the most often.
>Word Bearers
They performed compliance on a few world while a few Custodes were attached to them
>Raven Guard
Anons say Custodes were with them too
>Alpha Legion
