Slaasnesh daemons are lightning fast bust squishy. Make them cheap and run them up the table to absorb fire.
KoS is the the only greater daemon without jink/improved toughness but it's also the cheapest, give it two greater gifts and make it level 3.

A KoS with some greater rewards and a soulstealer for longevity or a slothful claw for S10 can be a great tool especially with it's telepathy access.

Why is that funny? It'd be stupid if the god-avatar that's made of molten lava that is immune to even the hottest melta weaponry and the fiery fusion of a star got burnt just because the sword once belonged to the Emperor.

It's not some special magic fire-but-not sword, it's just a very nice sword that happens to be on fire.

The thing with daemons princes and greater daemons.
Greater daemons are better than princes and generally cost less but completely specialized towards one area.
Daemons princes are slightly weaker and more costly but you can customize them however you like.

KoS is cheaper, has +1 toughness and attack as well as higher initiative.
But
A prince can buy armour and wings and also is able to roll on psychic tables other than telepathy and Slaanesh.

Unless you some a specific job in mind I'd stay with the KoS

SMASHFUCKER PRIME Vs. Rawbutt Girlyman
Rawbutt uses his Hand of Dominion, because denying Smashfucker his 2+ Feel No Pain is more useful than re-rolling to wound. In this case, Rowboat hits 3.333 times, and wounds 2.778. Smashfucker's Invuln brings that down to 0.0771, and IWND down to 0.
Smashfucker strikes back, hitting 2.333 times, and wounding 1.944 times. Rowboat's invuln brings that down to 0.972, and IWND down to 0.639.
Smashfucker wins again.

The fucking hell is that math?
Guilliman would use the emperors sword to get the D, ensuring him victory in 6 rounds, or 3 game turns.
Smashfucker does 3 attacks, brought down to 1.5 hits, down to 1.25 wounds, 3++ brings that down to .416..., and fnp brings it down to .277... Unsaved wounds.

That means SMASHFUCKER PRIME needs 21.6 rounds to remove all of guilliman's wounds, long after the 6 rounds needed for guilliman to kill him.
Guilliman wins by a large margin.
The only one who matches guilliman is scoria, which is a functional tie that's basically determined by if guilliman gets back up, and magnus.

1d4chan by itself is fine.
It's got some old jokes that aren't that funny anymore, but its /tg/ history.
The issue comes in when newfags and redditors come here saying shit like "fuck matt ward, he's the problem with everything! Ultramarines suck, and GW is the worst thing ever!!!1!"
I one time had a legitimate redditor who is afraid to go to 4chan tell someone in my DW party to go to 1d4chan to learn about 40k lore, rather than lexicanum or the actual codexes. Which is the real issue, many 1d4channers aren't from 4chan, but they don't feel the need to lurk moar because they read 1d4chan.

They don't, because GS bundles aren't for new players, that's stuff like SC boxings or the transport+squad boxes.
GS stuff is like FW models like titans, it's designed for people who already have armies to buy to add onto their collection.
>>
>>52042492
WHFB End Times saw a relatively large spike in sales, so they're doing the same thing (lots of campaign books with variant lists for existing ranges, combined mega-factions, and big show-piece models) for 40k. The only question is how Sigmar'd we're going to get.

Based upon what we know now, only a little bit. RotP ends with the imperium fractured in some way, and bobby G calling for a new GC to fix the issue.
Which is actually much better than I expected, change without squatting.
It'll be interesting to see what GW decides to do with the fractured imperium as it's reclaimed over the next 2 years. I would assume that it won't be as bad as the old night since the inquistion, ecclesiarchy, IG and most importantly the Space Marines are still around to prevent everything from going to hell in a hand basket, but we'll definitely see quite a few of the members of those groups using the opportunity to try and forge their own empire. Should be pretty fun actually, especially when some of the other loyalists come back to help out with the conquest.

And hey, with guilliman back the imperium can actually make new stuff. I for one welcome more new models because of our blue overlord.

I honestly doubt we'll see that big a shake up.
They've just released a whole bunch of new stuff with GS so I doubt they'll render that all useless.

And besides, the core rules aren't really the issue. They could add some stuff for campaigns, creating your own characters and such to emphasize the "narrative game" they love to talk about, but most of the issues are with the codexes, not the BRB.

I honestly wouldn't be suprised if we got that narratove stuff though, a second great crusade is probably the best time to add one a "how to make your own dudes and campaigns to represent the imperium's conquest of the galaxy" section to the rules

Eh, the core rules have some pretty major issues. Psychic phase is a stupid idea when half the armies lack psykers and most armies treat psykers as a minor thing, the I-GO-U-GO turn system is a bore for larger games (oh, you're moving your Ork horde? I'll be back in 30 to roll some saves), the vehicle/monstrous creature imbalance issue, and assault is just very poorly implemented (too difficult to get stuck in, simultaneously too lethal for non-shooting units but not lethal enough against Fearless/ATSKNF).

Have you read any of the GW Community posts or listened to podcasts where they talk to GW at the recent events? They have stated repeatedly that the newest rules will not go the way of Sigmar. It's been talked about a million times that they are just going to streamline some things.

I'm picturing something like Deny The Witch rolls are on a 6 but if you have a psyker on the table its 5+. Compare that to the 3-4 modifiers we have now.

>>
>>52042808
Because the uninspired drivel and the rules are an utter and complete abortion of a system.
>>
>>52042808
Fantasy got killed off and several armies squatted. The rules on release were way too simple; it took them a year to add a point system and really make it a playable game. It added Stormcast Eternals, which are basically just space marines, who've been eating up a ton of release slots, which means that a lot of factions still don't have much/any post-Sigmar releases. The new style is different than the previous WHFB style.
>>
>>52042808
I honestly hate/don't care for the lore, but the rules are not actually that bad. They're simple and the models are flashy enough that it can lure in normies and 10 year olds learning to thin their paints.

But people mostly hate it for the lore, or lack thereof, as well as it not having points until several months after, in which case ruined it's reputation.
>>
>>52042808
It is a mix of unwanted changes, dick moves to store owners, axing a loved setting by the consumers, killing a game and replacing it for something completely different, some how manage to piss of 40k players by replacing the marine statue with a sigmarine one.

The game it self now is not bad, the process to its existing was turbo bad

>>52042831

>>
>>52042808
It went from the more complex formation based warhammer game to a heroclix level of complexity,
>>
>>52042850
The entire thing was the equivalent of replacing the Coca Cola formula for replacement sake.
>>
>>52042856
So why is sigmar outselling fantasy by a fairly large margin?
>>
>>52042834
>The game it self now is not bad, the process to its existing was turbo bad
This. The reaction to Sigmar would've been significantly better if General's Handbook had been part of the game at release. Throwing out a four-page pamphlet with NO points system, coupled with that meme-tier rules packet for old models was absolutely retarded.

Yup. While the gameplay itself is fun (once you get past the ogor cheese), I still like 40k setting more (though not as much now that cadia is toast)

Because you don't need 500 models to have a game

>but GW is trying to push that shit with AoS too with those large battalions and every photo in an AoS book is 200 models marching against each other
>>
>>52042890
Well they are doing the same shit before Fantasy went down hill

Never updating some armies with old as fuck models.
Rules that encourage bigger armies. Free stuff, big models cheap as balls, things like that.
Beside start collecting and some deals you are still paying a lot for few models. GSC Acolytes is one of the worst example of this.
End of times that feel rushed as fuck.
Entire phases that can be way to abusive. Either Psyker or shooting can be a way to harsh to reviving end.


The same crap that killed fantasy GW didn't learn.

It is a miracle that SoB still sell when their last update was in 2004 with the Seraphim superior back in third.

One time only (not anymore due to wtf it is selling quick make more!) special character and new Celestine the whore of the Imperium. Was enough to up the sales of the old metal models.

Some how GW thinks this means more marines need to be done.

>>52042829

This is actually an argument more born out of ignorance than fact. Stormcasts bear more resemblance to chaos warriors than space marines, specially going by the latests books, where their deeds are strengthening Sigmar's power in the same fashion that blood spilled strengthens khorne.

Plus I have yet to see a space marine vomit, feel loss or despair proper.

To be fair, dark eldar can't really complain. Most of our kits are plastic and we have a nice suppliment even if our codex is weak and poorly written. We just need plastic incubi, grotesques and mandrakes, court units and specsil characters can wait.

Orks on the other hand don't even have a plastic Warboss kit for their most basic options. I'm pretty sure they don't even have a plastic generic Warboss outside of Grukk.
Tank bustas and kommandos are still resin/metal, these are all basic units that most Ork players will want.

Eldar aspects haven't even been updates since... Who knows when?

No, you miss-understand. I don't mean, do "weird" things or seem to be normal from the perception of their brainwashed lot. Even to the eyes of the regular humans, stormcasts are normal in their behavior. Not "oh greater feelings than the average human". No, simple and normal despair: the man who lost his wife and tried to save her through magic and failed, thus being tormented constantly by the memory (edgy), the man who barely remembers his past and the disclosure hurts him badly in a relatable way. The woman who just doesn't take bossy shit from the incompetent and is objective driven but well intentioned in the end. The man who lost his friends, barely remembers them now, and is afraid (honest to god afraid) of losing what little remembers. Space marines have neved stopped to worry if they'll lose their humanity every time their sus-an membranes kick in. Death is an extremely scary prospect to stormcasts on the other hand. Fear of losing their humanity and recollections of their beloved ones. When was the last time a space marine worried about his past life?

Depending on how you build the Broadsides and Longstrike, you definitely have enough anti-vehicle to satisfy any kind of 1k match, though the biggest thing I can note is that you don't have any Troops choices or an HQ, so unless you're going mono-formations you may want to invest in a Fireblade and a couple of Fire Warrior squads.

So I understand Calgar has the mental facilities and processing of like an emperor class battle ship x 1000

He scans the comms and in a glance instantly memorizes it, analyzes it, forms a strategy. Being a Primarch I can almost fathom him thinking in 4 dimensions or something.

So in less than a heartbeat he sees...

>Sector 4, a defiler is skulking around the ruins with a squad of Chaos marines, the defiler appears to limping somewhat, its middle left left, seizing up when it raises, in doing so the underside is exposed for a second longer than it should be, a well placed lascannon shot at that point would cause the defiler to explode, incinerating the nearby Chaos marines in balefire.
>2 kilometers away, He see 3 members of an Ultramarine scout squad, that had gone to grounds, less than 30 yards near the ruined wreck of a Dreadnought, which has a lascannon, they could detach the lascannon and take the shot,
>15 yards from the wreck is a fortification which if climbed, should provide the vantage for the necessary shot.
>in a wave of a hand, the order is issued, the mission undertaken, they detach the lascannon, set up position and take the shot, and it all happens exactly as predicted. the enemy forces are reduced by 0.1% in the space of a few microseconds. In the space of 60 seconds, that has happened Guilliman has issued scores of similar commands.

Oh so he uses the discipline of change and tzeentch to wound him heavily before hand with the D before he actually gets into melee.

>>52043369

Try a few of the Facebook 40k trade groups. You MIGHT get a bite for the whole lot if it's priced well but most likely you'll get 100 responses asking to split it.

I've sold a couple lots about this big and if you want the ease of selling it all at once you'll need to have a low price. You'll make more splitting it but it'll be a headache with people only buying one squad a time and trips to the post office.

So to check and see if I'm reading this right, the Star Phantoms chapter tactics from forgeworld lets everyone in the detachment re-roll reserve rolls of 1.

Castellans of the Imperium lets you take all sorts of units from different factions and put them in one detachment.

>>
>>52043993
No, 30k Magnus's cheese is still ranged in variety. In a melee fight Guilliman beats both thanks to his access to the D, and anyone arguing otehrwise is a retard.

However, he'll never actually get there, because 40k Magnus is faster than him and can fly, and 30k Magnus will slap him down with statistically-D Smites and other such powers before he even comes close.

DV is nice to start with, the minis are monopose but most look pretty good to great. It's also a solid selection of troops to build upon, as it is all stuff you'll want anyway.
I'd get the DA side of the DV starter and a DA Tactical Squad to start with.

That would come under Magnus being a retard. Calling it now that that's what GW tried to do in the narrative and that's why Magnus loses, though.

Thanks for the help. Is the HQ a good choice in DV? I had considered Belial since 1d4chan seems to hype up terminators and the Dark Talon. I'm going to go with DV, my coworker wants the CSM side of it.

What kind of things could change in 8th edition? I mean, does the new edition mostly just affect rules or will units change?
>>
>>52042323
girlymans sword only has the D profile for the attack that hits with a 6. then you need another 6 to auto remove a model. He still wins.
>>
>>52044149
Could be anything but core fluff stuff will be safe
>>
>>52043593

Not really, that's more a Mechanicus Secutor or Magos commanding a battle. I like to think that Guilliman is more intuitive and less reactionary, more strategic. Similar results, different approaches.
Magi work bottom-up, and optimize each and every guy and tank's current purpose to work with the ones next to them and even the ones across the planet.
Primarchs and skilled human generals work top-down, they don't give very precise orders to every squad because the warzone is probably way too big for that. They still have to talk and press buttons, they don't have the same telepathic link with all their soldiers that the Mech have as standard.

Not him, but please don't listen to 1d4chan, t's shit.

If you can split DV with someone, then go for that. As anon says, just add in a Tactical squad after that (you could even pick up the Armored Assault box) and you have a playable army.

>What kind of things could change in 8th edition?
We just don't know. But take solace in the fact that Marines are pretty much never bad, so collecting them is a safe investment.

The Guard decurion is really bad. You're better off taking Kurov's Aquila if you want to re-roll 1s on your Lasguns. If you want better orders and 3 orders you can take Creed.

Now I actually want to take 2 CCS, 1 with Kurov's, the other with Creed. I made a count as creed model with the 2 hotshot pistol arms from the Scion Start Collecting box. This could be fun. I just gotta figure out what else to take.

Read the codex and make your own calls. You can't teach experience. If you want some actual heads-ups on if units are good in the current meta then watch battle reports, there's a bunch of them out there.

1d4 is okay as long as you take everything you read there with a huge bag of salt. The tactics pages are full of autists who shill their faction like no other, but can usually be a good idea for getting a VERY VAGUE idea of how a faction's internal balance goes. If the info isn't completely outdated, that is.

So I had a guy sort of throw a fit at me for asking him to not use a knight against me, I play Orkz. He played Muhrines.

He didn't use his knight, and we played a full game. But the whole game he acted like a sadsack and when I won. Barely mind you, because of objectives. He told me he was so gimped without it, it was unfair.

Am I the bad guy here? I told him even my most optimized list outside of buzzgobs meme stompa wasn't competitive and Orkz have literally no answer/counter to Knights.

Okay so here's an actual rules question guys

You know how you roll for difficult terrain? Does your roll count the "full" movement of the unit, or do they get to have the distance between them and the ruin/forest and THEN you make the roll and count it into the movement?

Like my footslog guard are 2 inches from the forest, do they get those two inches then the roll so if I make a 4+ they get 6 inches? Or is it roll before and count it as full movement?
>>
>>52044438
did you play a 10 year old
>>
>>52044384
Supposedly Gathering Storm is a three-parter, the next stuff will be a different campaign.
There's been the leaks that may or may not be Mortarion and the GS II mentioned Fulgrim becoming active again.
>>
>>52044467
I'd love to say I can't believe Soul Blaze is a rule that's actually harmful to have but I really, really can. It's such shit and I hope it's removed in 8e.

>>52044495
If you read the rulebook you would know that if you want to move through difficult terrain at all then you make the test at the start of the model's movement and the result you roll is the distance it can move, regardless of whether you later decide to actually move in the terrain or not.

Maybe play another game against him, this time with the knight, to show him how gimped you are against his knight.

>>52044449
Or...everything will remain exactly at that point in time. Abaddon is on the way, but not quite there. Guiliman is on Terra, preparing for the battle. Meanwhile, AEldari gather around the Yncarne/sit this one out/do whatever they did before, Orks be Orks, Necrons are still waking up, Tyranids are coming closer, but not quite yet, and Tau do...whatever they did, trying to get around a sentient daemon firewall, I guess.
That way nothing really changes for anyone, it can still be called 40k, they added some new factions, fluff and models, while [your dudes] can still be completely unaffected by all this.

Just curious how'd that tie into the existing characters? Not trying to bash you.

My assumptions of Chaos are obvious. They're the antagonists. They need a book.

Tau continue the Croneblade storyline, and since the Eldar Triumvirate are in McCragge they're already in the neighborhood.

The german word for Chess, Schach, stems from the persian word šāh Schah / شاه /, meaning king, which explains quite a lot.

This shit is so dumb.
Half the Gathering storm characters are near invulnerable, and you're better off tarpitting or ignoring them.
Even Super Heavies are going to steer clear because of their offensive power.
Bring on 8th edition and leave this shit of deathstars and invulnerable garbage behind.

What's the usual Games Workshop and hobby stance in general on converted armies? I want to make a converted Admech army for my second one after my Inquisition, and I want them to be Magos Genetor, so lots of Skaven and Tyranid parts to make armoured battle-abominations, with a lot of 30k stuff in too since I want to try that and I hear we're getting it in an Imperial Armour book soon.

Assuming I use GW parts for the vast majority and keep it closeish to WYSIWYG and consistent, would I be allowed to run that in a GW store, and would people be mad at me in general for not using the official miniatures in the books and kitbashing my own? I kind of want my Dune/Bioshock/Leviathan mad scientists, but I'll hold off if it's taboo somehow.

As long as they are like 60-80% GW minis and as long as they are similarly sized to the original mini, it's a-okay for anyone legally.

Like if I made an army of Ratlings as count as guard, people might get a little annoyed because they are so much smaller that they can get better cover and break LoS easier.

Ah, OK then. Some of the Automata counts-as my need me to chock them up on a centimetre of cork or something like that, but I don't forsee too many problems. Going to try to convert all the slightly crazy Mechanicum guns the same way so it's consistent, I'll have to see if my Deldar friend has any spare Dark Lances.

Actually, which transports can carry MCs? Quite a few can carry dreads, but with MCs I'm not sure. Vamire Raiders, maybe?

It would be nice if Slaanesh die and was replaced with actual god of perfection and all thing sexy. Current Slaanesh have the ugliest demon with terrible aesthetic.

If Ynnead end up being a new chaos god replacing Slaanesh it would still be fine. As long as the new demon range look cool.
>>
>>52046163
Absolutely nothing can carry MC:s, expect tyranid drop pods, and those only carry bugs. Roboute is doomed to walk, which turns him into garbage. He will walk for 4 turns to your opponent, kill one unit, and then the game ends.

There is a reason why melee carnifexes haven't been good in two editions. Also, Tau and Eldar and Grav army worth it's salt will kill him before he ever gets to assault range.

None that are not specified for that, AFAIK. Since most of the fuckoff huge ships and such are Marines, and they use Dreadnoughts instead, the only ones I can think of are Tyranid Pods and the Horus Heresy Mechanicum Arvus Lighter, which can be modified to carry one Castellax or two Vorax, and that's it. Never seen anyone actually do that, since when you can load 12 Haywire shots into one which also score objectives you have rather better cargo.

Honestly, I don't even see the point of killing him. As you said, he'll take a while to get over there (quite possibly outranging his buff-bubbles) and then he'll mulch some shitty conscript squad or a bunch of gaunts. And then the game is over.
He'll wreck a Knight-army by himself, though.

I just picked up the Kill Team box and I'm wondering how I should build squads. From my cursory understanding of the rules, the Fire Warriors seem strictly worse than the Space Marines. How should I build the team?

I'm trying to get the two squads roughly equal in powerlevel and not buy additional units until I've played the game a little.

They're a bit weaker defense wise, but their guns are pretty damn good. Make sure to take shield drones. Put them in cover, and they should be safe, as they have a range advantage over tac marines.

None for marines, they carry dreadnoughts instead.

It wouldn't suprise me if they add an ettera or something to the transports that carry dreads that they can carry guilliman too.
>>
>>52046059
He gets all the Command table traits for free, so he adds 1" to his run distance and can move through cover.

You can also try to roll for the right Warlord trait. Master of Ambush gives him Infiltrate, for example, which can make him a serious threat. If you take allies and make them your Warlord, I'm sure there are other codexes with traits that let him deep strike or do something like that.
>>
>>52045333
They've been calling the game regicide in 40k stuff for years. Same way guardsmen drink recaff and smoke lho sticks. Learn to fluff.
>>
>>52046635
Because its implied that the dread is attached by a mag clamp to the back of the 'raven and dropped on its target, I've not got the image in my head of girlyman stuck there, dangling as the flyer flies into combat airspace
>>
>>52046657
His warlord trait is literally having those six warlord traits. He doesn't get another, and if he's not warlord he doesn't get any of those.
>>
>>52046598
I see! Ok then. That's a relief. I was worried that it would just be a one-sided stomp.
>>
>>52046713
That's why I separated the two sentences with a line. They're two different ideas.
The 1" extra run range won't make him slog any less, so you can forego all of that in exchange for gambling on an Infiltrate.

For reference, the six Command table traits are:
>Friendly units in 12” can use the Warlord’s Leadership.
>Enemy units within 12” use their lowest Ld value, not their highest.
>Warlord and all friendly units within 12” have Move Through Cover.
>Warlord and all friendly units within 12” add 1” to Run or Charge ranges.
>Warlord and all friendly units within 12” re-roll shooting To Hit rolls of 1.
>Warlord and all friendly units within 12” re-roll assault To Hit rolls of 1.
Which are great, but infiltrating a Primarch might have better value.
>>
>>52046740
It might be if you're not careful. Strike teams are designed to be played defensively.
>>
>>52046699
>I've not got the image in my head of girlyman stuck there, dangling as the flyer flies into combat airspace
I'm more talking about pods, thunderhawks, stormbirds, mastadons etc. though if anyone can do that, it would be a primarch
>>
The real answer to moving your Rowboat is to get a Librarian Conclave to roll on Geomancy, and then use a building as your transport.
>>
>>52046755
I don't think you understand: His warlord trait is fixed. He literally cannot exchange it.
>>
>>52046765
This image is too deeply ingrained into my head now. Though it would make sense for him to be able to at least get in a drop pod. He quite literally wrote the book on how chapters should utilise them.
>>
>>52046755
>fixed warlord trait
>Why not exchange it?
Seriously? Even if you could, that'd be an awful decision.
>>
>>52046814
He'd need a custom one due to his size, though. Nevermind sticking your supreme commander, demigod and ancient hero into a metal coffin that might well be shot down.
Cawl could have sprung for a teleportation matrix.
>>
>>52046804
>>52046823
I'm pretty sure he's suggesting you make someone else your warlord in order to do that. Like the Raptors special character that can choose 3 units to infiltrate as his warlord trait automatically.
>>
>>52046804
You're not understanding. You can just have someone else be your Warlord. Master of Ambush reads:
>The Warlord and three non-vehicle units have Infiltrate
So you pick someone else (does anyone come with Master of Ambush for free?), then they, Robot, and two friends get to Infiltrate. Footslogging problem solved!

>>52046823
Read above, and the big issue with Guilliman is that he's going to have to footslog across the board. Read >>52046201. This is the same problem Nids have.
>>
>>52046849
>He'd need a custom one due to his size, though. Nevermind sticking your supreme commander, demigod and ancient hero into a metal coffin that might well be shot down.
You wot m8? If you can fit 10 space marines or a dreadnought in a droppod, you sure as hell can fit a primarch in their. He's around dreadnought size
>>
>>52046860
He's considerably tougher, cheaper and better than the damage equivalent in Tyranid Monstrous Creatures, to be fair. What do you want him to do, blink like 30k Mortarion?

>>52046849

Cawl was too busy building himself a new pimp cane, romancing Celestine (Although that was doomed to failure) and rezzing Guilliman's worthless arse in the first place. Does Mars have to do everything useful in the Imperium?
>>
>>52046578
Related to this, I'm building the lists using BattleScribe. It says that I'm forced to pick Chapter Tactics for the Space Marines. Does anyone know what the Crimson Fist chapter tactics do? I'm at work and can't find any information online.
>>
>>52046909
>He's considerably tougher, cheaper and better than the damage equivalent in Tyranid Monstrous Creatures, to be fair. What do you want him to do, blink like 30k Mortarion?
No no, I'm not criticizing him or saying something about Nids.

I'm just saying that having this sort of unit have to walk across the board is no good. Finding a way to take Master of Ambush could make him a lot more viable.
>>
>>52046912
Crimson fists just use the Imperial fists tactics
>>
>>52046849
If he had to put any more on that armour, he'd be a gargantuan creature by now.

Remind me why Cawl isn't an MC again? As much as I love the bugger he's as big as some vehicles.
>>
>>52046926
Which is re-roll bolter shots on 1s?
>>
>>52046860
Ah, I get you now. I suppose that'd be possible. It feels like an enormous waste since youd need to build around that in a way that retained the majority of your forces as Ultras while making Lias Issodon (Raptors) your warlord. And you'd still give up 6 fucking warlord traits...
>>
>>52046860
Looks like Lias Issodon comes with Master of Ambush for free. Only 175 points, too.
>>
>>52045951
5th had worst rules and worst codices. Every cool customization option was gone by the end of 5th.
>>
>>52046951
Yep. Also a bonus to wrecking shit with Devastators, but that's more minor.
>>
>>52046966
>>52046970
Factor in that you'd need another 110 for scouts, and you're talking 300 points just to ditch his buffs and use him as a beat stick


At that point, you're better off getting 2-3 Librarians and using any of the various movement psychic powers to shuffle him forward faster

>>52046924
True, and that denys a big chunk of his buffs, so he becomes even more of a pure beatstick. You could always make a custom Fortification which is just a Primarch-sized Abeyant and Geomancy him forward, then use the Repel Invaders rule or whatever it's called to go all WITNESS ME and leap off the top.

>>52046932

Probably so his EWless arse can stay safe with some Kataphrons and so his Arc Whatever isn't just his Power Axe that hits at initiative. Also, this way he can fit in the nonexistent Admech transport, although him in a sweet ride is a bit of a waste of all his amazing buffs.
>>
>>52047014
> 2-3 Librarians and using any of the various movement psychic powers to shuffle him forward faster

Master of Ambush can't be denied, but can be stopped by servo skulls.

While powers can be denied / killed, but usable more than once.

I desperately want an AdMech transport not even for the fact that metal boxes are sorely needed for getting tin soldiers from point A to point B. I want skittering spidertank transports either boxed up and deploy their cargo almost like droids from their transport ships, or hazardously open-topped to let the skitarii within shoot until their box breaks, then they climb out and keep marching.

Also because I want to make a spidertank Baneblade and call it the Trebuchet
>>
>>52047049
While they can be denied and librarians can be killed, you only really need to pull it off once to get him a good distance. Roll it all on Geomancy to shunt a Gullyman gun line from your deployment zone to the enemy's and you're fine for the game. Have a few Lib bikers rush forward, Jink, and then fulmination switch him ahead.
>>
>>52046802
And the answer to that is Wraithguard in a Raider. Christ I hate Ynnari, and I play Iyanden.
