No, his posting finger is on the end of a lasgun, which gives him a slight initiative bonus over the fuckers who have to pull their right pointer fingers all the way back over their shoulders before taking a stab at the post button.

There tutorials to edit your army's colour scheme and shoulder icons via PS.

I'm starting up a Guard army centered around Void warfare and drop troops. I was wondering if it would be too odd to include a Chapter Master so I can get an Orbital Strike.

I figured I could fluff him as an aging marine honor guard that's protecting the navy ship they work with due to some legacy involving his chapter. He mostly sits back during battles, offering snippets of tactical advice and aiding with targeting.

>>51973419
Cheers. Obviously you've a lot of experience with it.

>>51973377
You can either tint models with right clock and if that doesn't work you can change their reflection options under Custom to make them shimmer in different colors depending on gear.

>>51973484
I play almost daily. Games go by so quickly, and I can try out so many different lists.

I'd like to do a battle report or stream a game, but people here don't seem that interested. Probably because I play Tau.

So Guilliman as fuckhuge and basically wears a super advanced Dreadnought suit, right?

What if they make him a Walker just for shits and giggles.

Eldar actually look really cool and have interesting lore.

>>51973356
Their decurion is probably one of the weaker ones with an expensive core and okay-ish auxiliaries. Thunderwolf are great for making deathstars if that is your thing and wulfen are pretty solid assault units even as 5 man squads. You can also do solid horde and mechanized wolf lists utilizing cheap blood claws. Not top of the line or anything but it does highlight the versatility of the codex and its options as a whole.

What kind of list do you want to make?

>>51973517

Fuck GW, they took my money and now they took my sides
How can they be so based

So i'm trying to understand challenges. It says characters, so that means that someone like a company champion that has to issue challenges in melee, MUST issue one even to an imperial guard sergeant? And nobody in that squad unless they are a higher rank can accept, yes?

How is that very useful at all, when a champion could just steamroll through the whole squad rather than wasting all his attacks on one model?

>>51973332
Well painted Daemons always look STUNNING.

>>51973346
I do. Too poor fag to buy miniatures and all my friends who play don't live near me anymore.

>>51973566

Brood Cycle + Subterranean uprising.

First curse is fun and fluffy, though a point sink, though your army is overall cheap enough to tank a point sink no real issue.

Add a Magnus for bonus psychic powers, maybe one or two sentinel units or a Russ for a bit of transport popping fire and you're done.

>>51973332
At least they keep the Crudd out of my codex.

>>51973593
Read the BRB in more detail, but the short and sweet is that in a challenge the attackers fight each other, and any wounds they inflict go to each other first, and then spill over to the rest of their respective units.

>>51973332
Necrons cannot stop winning.

>>51973332
Space wolves are supposed to be vikings kind of so that might've been cool

>>51973517
From what I understand, 30k feels more balanced because by and large everyone is the same (read: marines) and their lords of war are sorta kinda balanced against each other and if any are stronger, it is usually for fluff reasons. It also does not seem unreasonable to not allow primarchs in some games as not every legion has their primarch (either in models or rules form) yet. You do get some weird ones like the ad mech and now with the Custodes and the Sisters of Silence but they don't break the mold too bad like Eldar or Orks do so balance feels maintained.

Note, everything I have said is based on a a little more than a cursory glance so take what I say with the required amount of salt. As to the second part of your question, there is no easy way. Yes Calth and Prospero has made it easier, but it is still decidedly more expensive than 40k due to forgeworld shenanigans.

>>51973593
Wounds from challenges spill over if you kill the dude.

>>51973346
Yeah, I do it to test my lists out.

>>51973524
Does he? I thought it was super awesome artificer armor.

>>51973534
I don't want to spam transports since Rhinos are visually boring and pods look like hell to buy and put together a bunch of them. I got interested in starting the army after reading about the FW wolf lord, is he any good?
I kinda want to build a list that uses different units or at least a very different playstyle to vanilla since there are a bunch of vanilla players at my LGS already.

>>51973517
30k isn't just marines, and it does have balance issues. Currently a lot of factions need updates badly, Thousand Sons are OP if you can believe it, and so are AdMech.

>>51973517
Most of the factions are marines, the non marine factions are pretty balanced also.

No formations, LOW 25% point limit. One force org that every one uses.

Generally it's a bit more regulated, but I enjoy it quite a bit.

>>51973593
What you've described was the major issue with challenges in 6th ed. You could potentially lock out a dude from doing anything with a well placed challenge and it screwed over the chaos dudes pretty hard. 7th ed as >>51973645 and >>51973658 said, fixed that bit

>>51973654

Ork players should be more enthusiastic about playing against HH players, honestly.

http://www.peta.org.uk/blog/peta-warhammer-fur-free/

>>51973541
It's legal and all the rules fit, but 30k armies are usually at a disadvantage in most games since they mostly shine above 2000+ and around 2500.

>>51973715
>I2

>>51973671
He was all but dead and is being kept alive by his armor.

Per definition, that would count as a Dreadnought suit.

>>51973517

30k armies are generally much larger in scale. You'd be hard pressed to make a playable 1000pt army and 2000-3000 is the norm.

The biggest difference is that your squads are all specialized, like eldar. Tac squads are all bolters with a 10-20 squad size, squads are more expensive upfront, but extra bodies are cheaper, which promotes bigger units, (heavy) support squads have 5-10 of the same special weapon. It's different, but cool.

No ATSKNF is cool because Fear means something.

>>51973541

100% legal and usually more balanced and less powerful than 40k cheese

>>51973677
Assault oriented? Shooting oriented? Or a balanced mix of both insofar as that is possible?

>>51973645
Roger, I did read it I just wasn't quite understanding it fully.

>>51973658
Roger. I get that now, I'm just still trying to figure out why challenges would be useful in that case.

>>51973711
Well then how does it effect certain factions like the guard? I mean if I charge the command squad and challenge their officer, sure that's fine and dandy as he won't be able to issue orders, etc. But how does that effect lesser squads if I'm just killing a sergeant, or in the case of other marines where they don't issue things like orders, etc?

How do most people deck out their Aspiring Champions?

Also, they followed up with "We were just pretending to be retarded"
http://www.peta.org.uk/blog/peta-warhammer-40000-cant-serious/

>>51973711

This.

The advantage is that you force the character to either deal with your guy or not fight, which could potentially save your squad. For example, if I have a sword and you have a power fist, my guy will likely kill your dude before that Powerfist wrecks my squad.

>>51973760
Regular sergeants don't really matter unless they're carrying gear, but it can be useful to pick off a leadership boosting character.

>>51973714
Until the vulkite culverins come out.

>>51973760
you can also deny a challenge, so your champ/lord gets called a bitch so he doesn't get attacked but you also can't use his leadership.

in a perfect game my k.herald on juggernaut runs over the champ then mulches through the squad

>>51973788
Magnus' plans against the Space Wolves are getting a little out of hand.

>>51973779
For chosen, marines and bikers it usually take power maul/sword, combi-weapon for his unit's role if any, melta bombs.
For raptors I'll do the same thing, but if i have extra points i'll do powerfist/lightning claw or dual LC

>>51973880
Then I only have to buy the starter kit. Thanks my dude!

>>51973872
Expanding on >>51973896, thunderwolves in the Champions of Fenris detachment make for amazing deathstars or you can use them as highly mobile kill squads. Wulfen are also pretty great in assault and a squad of 5 man with claws is capable of ripping and tearing through almost anything that isn't a wraithknight in one turn. They might actually be able to kill a wraithknight too, but that's a touch of a long shot. It should also be noted that wulfen also buff nearby space wolf units that are not wulfen which is really cool.

For variety's sake, Space wolves also have really good CC dreadnoughts (if that is your thing) and blood claws/sky claws and fenrisian wolves are a great source of cheap attacks. Wolfguard (both terminator and power armor versions) are high meh/low okay tier but they can add a touch of variety to any list.

Space wolves also have great support elements for an assault list. Long fangs are amazing at softening up an enemy before the wolves charge in. Wolf priests give out preferred enemy which is better than hatred imo. Rune priests are also pretty solid. Wolf lords and the cheaper Wolf Guard Battle Leader are all good melee beatsticks and all four of these guys can take a thunderwolf to make them even killier.

If there's anything else you need, just holler. I'll be here for a while yet

>>51973952
For most factions, I'd agree with you. For marines and armies with good saves, it's not a bad idea to give a sword or a gun to your sergeant.

>>51973920
maybe if you're a tourney fag. challenges are for claiming dominance over lesser men.

So, what book would I need for Custodes rules in 30k/40k? I guess I'm saving up a bit for the armoured assault force, and the Inferno book (and a lot of golden paint).
I know the rules are also downloadable, but I'd like to have them as a book too.

>>51974111
Gun is fine, melee is usually a waste of time as anything that challenges is either going to be much weaker or much stronger.

>>51973332
Eldar have cool colour schemes

>>51974153
Inferno for 30k, but all there is for 40k is a digital datasheet that came with BoP's release (I would upload it but I'm 95% sure you can find it on GW's store page for BoP) that never had a physical copy. Just print it out.

Like what Codex will not get you shit for playing it but also isn't garbage that has no chance to compete ever?

>>51974340
2 x 5 man blood claws - 140 pts

Thunderwolf cav, 4 man, frost axe and shield - 300 pts

Wulfen, 2 x 5 man, all claws and stormfrag - 440 pts

Battle leader on thunder wolf - 100 pts

Total - 980 pts.

Remaining pts can go to giving your battle leader some toys. If you need more pts you can cut some of the toys from the wulfen/thunderwolf cav. This should get you a fast and resilient list that should smash face into most opposition at 1000 pts

>>51974483

Use the Duncan guide to paint them. Avoid giving them too many special weapons, they get expensive real fast. Deck them out with a couple of the bigger guns (Frag cannons are the best, Infernus Heavy Bolters are also good), and let the rest use their SIA to do the work.

Remember that no matter how good they shoot, they're still as easy to kill as a regular marine. It can be worth giving a couple the shields to tank for the rest of the squad, too.
Treat the Captain more or less like a regular Marine Captain, same goes for the Dreadnaught.
For modelling, you might need some spare bitz for the heavy weapons, the set doesn't come with enough. It comes with a wealth of other pieces though.

>>51974487
Admech, guard, space marines (without bullshit formations or gravspam), necrons (a bit strong but not as obnoxious as others)

Thank you very much writefriend!

>>51974687
That probably wouldn't even be a true statement if you only counted beasts and other animals in 40k that Peta would care about. I'm sure all those animals Dark Eldar fight in the arenas don't appreciate getting hit with Agonizers or nerve whips, only to be patched up, shoved in the most spiky cage available, and then do it all again tomorrow.

>>51974745
Except Riptides are part of Codex: Tau, Daemons (at least the ones we're talking about) are not part of Codex: CSM.

You can't claim CSM are "almost as powerful as Eldar" because they have a single broken special character who gets run in an army entirely consisting of a different Faction.

That's like saying Dark Eldar are OP because you can take an archon with a webway portal and 1500 points of D-Wraiths.

Everyone of note dies, the only worthwhile Craftworld is destroyed and fragmented. All the dead Eldar get eaten alive by Ynnead or Slaneesh. Dark Eldar and Eldar are friends again and love eachother now. They lived happily ever after. and Eldrad dies again for the 3rd time.

>>51974061
Thanks for the help dude.

So what do I use as a core for an assault-focussed army, or ARE the Wulfen and such my core, since with Champions of Fenris I don't need to take Troops? I feel like I'm making terrible mistakes loading up on ultra-killy MSU assault units, especially with no semi-cheap boots on the ground (even if said boots would mostly just be supplementing my charges anyway). Speaking of ultra-killy elite units, what is the rule I should be following in terms of kitting them out? How many TH/SS should a group of Wulfen take? I feel like they should have some to mitigate their 3+ saves, plus shields and hammers look cool. If I took Thunderwolves, do I leave them barebones and bloat their unit size, or give each one a shield and axe/fist or something?

Should I just focus on footslogging and mounted units if I'm trying to go that path, or can I throw a Dread or two in for flavor? The axe and shield Dread looks cool as fuck.

Sorry for all the questions dude, we're planning a Tale of Four Gamers league in my group and I really want to get down a nice overall list to build up towards before everyone starts buying their first batches of models.

Just played a 2000 point each 2v1 vs Blood Angels. I played 1k of Guard, the other guy was 1k of Necrons and we shared a CAD, with the Necron guy being our warlord.

I was excited to try out my 1850 list, but I ended up making 2 friends in the process so I'm pretty happy about that instead.

The game was pretty one sided in our favor. Necrons are hilariously durable. The BA player was returning after like 10 years of not playing so he was learning everything again. Still, lots of fun banter and joking around so none of minded that much. The highlight of the game was Pask downing a Stormraven that was filled with Death Company. It crashed into the Necron walker thing and crashed into some dudes and the whole Death Company died.

Do player stereotypes exist in 40k? Are all CSM players washed up metalheads and edgy 15 year olds? Are all Tzeench players nerdy Asians?

I've got a question: Skyfire states that the unit can use its regular BS when shooting Skimmers. Where in the Skimmer entry does it say that they'd normally not use that e.g. use Snap Shots? I can't seem to find it.

>>51975090
They list Flyers, Flying Monstrous Creatures and Skimmers all in the same sentence, making it sound like there's something special about otherwise shooting at Skimmers as well, which caused the confusion. You fucking illiterate prick.

Does the mega upload contain the how to paint books? Theres no way I'm spending $33 on one.

>>51975124
Wrong. The last guy had it right, if written poorly.

Skyfire weapons fire snapshots if they aren't shooting at Flyers, Flying MCs, etc. They snapshot at ground based targets.

Skimmers are added there as an exception for another thing Skyfire weapons can hit normally without snapshotting.

So, for example, a Skyfire weapon will have to snapshot when firing at a Space Marine or a Leman Russ, but shooting a Hammerhead or Crimson Hunter is fine.

>>51975102

>>51974837
Core
Are you looking to run a deathstar style list or are you looking for better force projection? If you want a deathstar, focus on Thunderwolves and support with wulfen and fenrisian wolves as points allow. The fenrisian wolves will be your cheap boots on the ground and they are fast too. If you don't want a more swarmy list, drop the fenrisian wolves and run your thunderwolves in squads of 3, no toys and run some blood claws.

Loadout.
If you're running your thunderwolves in a deathstar, give them toys. At least shields and frost axes, hammers if you can afford it. The wulfen do not need hammers. The frost claws are better in my opinion. As for improving their resilience, I think the 2 wounds and fnp is sufficient but if you don't think so, one shield and hammer per 5 man would not be a bad idea.

Footslogging?
Yes. Wulfen are reasonably fast with their "charge after running" schtick. Thunderwolf cav are beasts too so they move fast. For Dreads you should get pods for them. The ven dreads with axe and shield are pretty awesome and murderfang is another great blender of a unit. All dreads will want pods to get into the thick of things ASAP.

Will there be anything else?

If someone put a Grav Cannon on a Scout Sentinel or Armored Sentinel and paid 20 points for it, would you permit that?

Not a cannon+amp, just the cannon.

>>51975232
>Vostroyans in Tauroxes
B-But why. For 15 more points you get a much better transport.

>>51975246
No, but I'd let them counts-as it as a grav-cent.

>>51975246
I would say 30 points, since a cannon with an Amp is 35. Also, would probably prefer they have some way to justify it, since fluffwise Grav is a bitch and a half to maintain.

On an armored sentinel in a regiment with an Enginseer or other good ties to a forgeworld? Sure, why not.

First, you won't fit all of those in a 500 point army. 500 points armies are there mostly for players to get familiar with the system and for them to build a foundation for their list.

As for effectiveness, there's not enough of a list to rate effectiveness properly. 2 tactical squads, a terminator squad and a devastator squad tells me nothing really. As I mentioned, you can't fit this in 500 and for 1000 pts, I will need to know what your HQ is, what upgrades are you planning for your terminators and what guns are you giving your devs outside of the missile launchers. This of course assumes you're using a CAD and not the Baal Strike Force or the Fleash Tearer's detachment from Shield of Baal.

For now, I suggest focusing on making a legitimate 500 pts list first. Get a few games in, home in on what you like and then build a 1000 pts list from that

131KB, 900x562px

After a lot of thinking I think I'll decide on this to be the final list I'll be rolling with.

Body count is way too low, honestly, but I can't finish another 5 Skitarii in time for the game. Would've otherwise dropped a bunch of wargear to expand that unit to 10 guys with 3 Plasma guns.

I feel like I'll have a decent match-up against more elite armies and generally stuff that can't simply overwhelm me through sheer numbers but things like Marine spam or even just a wall of Tyranid or Ork infantry are a bit of a nightmare. Bringing 27 combined wounds over 14 bodies is fucking scary.

>>51975238
>Are you looking to run a deathstar style list or are you looking for better force projection?
Hmm, I guess if I can make an expensive but elite deathstar-lite list work I'd love that, though I guess I'd want to split it up into about two killy squads rather than one huge star. Is that possible/viable? How many Thunderwolves should I take in a squad with this approach? What about Fenrisian Wolves?

>The wulfen do not need hammers. The frost claws are better in my opinion
Is the axe ever worth it or should I always spring for claws? I think I'll take one hammer dude per squad because modelling him will be fun, and I guess he can take a couple of high-AP hits.

>Will there be anything else?
Last questions, I think. What do you think of the relics? Also, if I'm reading it right, going all the way with Champions of Fenris locks me into that relic list, right? Are there any from the default list I might consider using an allied CAD or small formation to bring?

Finally, I was thinking of using a melee-geared Leviathan as the army's centerpiece. It should fit in well if I'm using Dreads in pods anyway, but it's a lot of points. Will I have to handicap the rest of my army to bring it? We're escalating to either 1850 or 2k, so.

>>51975638

>>51975621
XV9s are virtually unusable right now, and the R'Varna is underpowered.

>>51975393
Can't judge the IG part, never played them, but as for the AdMech:
I'd take Arc Rifles on your Rangers, especially if you want to give the Alpha the shield. They're very good at sprinting over the field quickly and right onto vehicles to pop with those rifles. Can even go so far as to buy a Arc Pistol as well to make them a dedicated anti-vehicle unit. Not a fan of the Cognis Manipulator, especially if using the Icarus Array. The Dunecrawler will mostly just sit in the back and if it does get focused it'll often either die in one turn or should've killed a flier already.

If you want to save some more points and don't want to have your Rangers as a footslogging anti-vehicle squad, you could consider taking a Holy Requisitioner instead of the Congregation. You'll lose the Grav and second Canticle use but those Canticles are only ever going to be minimum size anyway and Deep Striking 12 Haywire shots without scatter can be fucking scary.

If you do decide to make all of those changes, it'd get you 75 extra points. I'd probably spend those on another Plasma Caliver, an Omnispex for both units of Skitarii and the remaining 25 on a Cognis Stubber for the Crawler, an Infoslave Skull for the Dominus and maybe a Hydraulic Claw for a Breacher.

>>51975676
>virtually unusable
>because they share a slot with Riptides

>>51975546
You can definitely split the thunderwolves into smaller but still killy squads. I'd say stick to 3 man squads, hammers and shields all around. That'll run you 255 a squad, or 510 for the whole thing. Now if you're running dreads in your elite slot, run the 2 squads of wulfen as the Murderpack formation. It makes your wulfen buffs amazing. So a rough calculation would be 440 for the wulfen, 510 for the thunderwolves, about 350 for the dreads in pods is 1300. At 1850, that leaves you with 550 pts. Set aside about 200 pts for your HQ and the rest of your pts can go to fenrisian wolves. you can fit in 43 models and change with those pts. You probably won't need that much - maybe half that so the remaining pts can go to mroe dreads like the leviathan. I don't know how much a leviathan costs though so you'll have to work that out yourself.

I don't think the axe is ever worth it. S6 ap2 shred at i5 with shred and an extra attack is a fucking bargain at 12 pts. The attack at initiative is great because you get another attack on the off chance that you die.

If you do champions of fenris, you're locked into the relics list. There aren't especially great ones, but the claws are fun cos they make your HQ RIP AND TEAR. Other than that, nothing comes to mind. As far as allies are concerned, the army eats a lot of points as shown above. I don't know if you have the space for allies.

Hope this helps

>>51975704
XV9s are a Fast Attack option. Riptides are an Elite option, and in WAAC lists are normally taken in their own independent formation.

If you're not shitposting and actually want to discuss it, the issue with XV9s is that they're way overcosted and come with tax upgrades that try to force it into a niche that simply isn't supported by its stats and loadout.
A pair of Crisis Suits does a much better job for the same cost, on top of other benefits.

r8 my 1250 point list. Battlewagon combo with KFF big mek and weirdboy is mostly a distraction carnifex that will spew the 5++ invul to the deffdreads. Also the weirdboy will be able to cast spells in safety from there since he can't take a bike.

>>51975891
Then just bring a book or a laptop or a tablet or a phone or a 3DS or anything instead.
Hell, even bringing a hooker to blow you while waiting would probably not draw as much attention and be as weird.

are you planning to have the big mek in the battlewagon? that would only give the battlewagon 5++.

Besides being sideways, it ain't bad.

The face/skin could use a wash and/or highlight. Reikland fleshshade works great as either.

The yellow is thick, and the red is a few spots to be cleaned.

I've seen worse first models. Keep at it.

No, a chunk of Eldar and Dark Eldar society has since converted to the new religion, but there are still a shit-ton of regular Eldar and Dark Eldar who ain't buying it and at best mistrust the servants of Ynnead.

Biel-Tan is the only Craftworld that has ever mattered, especially if you consider Taldeer and others to not be important characters, which they aren't. It's not just a chunk. It's the only chunk of Eldar that do things in the canon.

Well, for the record, the local Slaanesh player is a pretty cool guy who helps out new players with modeling and painting advice, and likes to play casual games with them to help get them in the game and then assrape with a Kakophani and Raptor Talon against my mech-guard, jesus christ does he love Ignores Cover shit. He's actually pretty normal too, and really a pleasant person to be around, and is simultaneously super-into the lore (the motherfucker created this hybrid Eldar symbol for "Fear" and "Woe" as the badge of his warband, sculpted in Green Stuff on everything and worked into all sorts of stuff, and has basically named all of his characters and has an insanely detailed background on his entire warband) while being very Your Dudes and willing to help you develop your own lore for your guys in a way that's accurate to the fluff.

Now, the local Nurgle player is exactly as you'd think he'd be.

>>51976581
If you're referring to the Nurgle player, you'd be correct.

The Slaanesh guy is actually a pretty fit dude who puts a shitload of time into his guys, and keeps cycling out his older models with more and more elaborately converted models for the same unit.

For example, all of his Havocs and Chosen have Raptor heads, arms, and shoulder pads, while they have Rubric Marine legs and bodies. The gemstones on the armor he passes off as captured soul stones, because his army has a raging hateboner for Eldar in their lore.

>>51976081
I don't know what the xv9's stats are but I can tell you off the bat that you have a serious problem of not enough boots on the table. I suppose the y'vahra is tough enough to tank some shots but for how long? And those single model crisis suit squads are just begging to give up first blood. It's a very dicey list and I'm not entirely sure where you're going with it

Now, with legions getting neat rules, it would be neat if GW (or perhaps more Forge World) released some Legion-agnostic rules for building your own warband.

They could give the Red Corsairs some differing flavor, or give The Oath-Broken some rules, or do something like Imperial Militia and Warp Cults where you can choose two differing, compatible, minor rules that can add a whole lot of fluff and flesh to your own chaos warband.
