I found a bunch of old metal daemonette.

After seeing picture related, I wonder how mad people would be if I use those old models as "count as" SoB/DCA to bulk up my current SoB and Inquisition army.
>>
Admech players, how do you go about dealing with Genestealer Cults? There's a chap at my FLGS who runs a largely mechanised list with several ML2 Magi summoning in genestealer blobs, plus lascannon teams in chimeras outflanking. They basically just get to pick two units to kill. Currently running an Elimination Maniple plus Dominus Maniple and some melee stuff and Rangers in a Skit Maniple at 1200. I have pretty much a whole Warconvo, plus some Inquisitors and acolytes and a couple other Dragoons and such.

This loadout is very nice on the overwatch, with lots of dakka being supported by a template. Also is s10 ap1 with 4 attacks and rampage in CC, so it'll shred most things it comes into contact with. Overall, it's an infantry wrecker. Has a 6 man transport capacity with no assault vehicle or firing points for...reasons, so don't use it to transport anything that wants to assault or shoot."

> Nobz: Nearly three times more expensive than a normal Ork Boy, but with +1 Wound, +1 Attack, and +1 Strength. However, like the Warboss, they get access to the shiniest wargear available to the Ork army, from Power Klaws to Kombi-shootas to 'Eavy Armor. Great in both close combat AND shooting. Best used as bodyguards for your Warboss. This massive Orky beatstick will likely cost several hundred points, and isn't going anywhere fast without something to cart them around. However, this mean, green pain machine is quite cost-effective by many armies' standards; let them Ride Trucks, Battlewagons or Bikes and opponents will bitch and moan. Do not run these guys without some way of raising their Leadership or giving them fearless. They should be bodyguards for your Warboss anyway. They can take Kombi-weapons, so their potential for firepower is something to consider.

So how bad of an idea is it to bring a Cohort Cybernetica as my only unit in a 850 tourney?

Will have regular "control points and tactical objectives" for the first round, a mixed Kill Points/Objectives round for #2 (with a max differential of 3 kill points between both armies) and a 5 objective round with cards that awards 1 point for each outer and 3 for the inmer objective at the end of the game.

I'm not aiming to necessarily win with it, just want to not get tabled immediately or lose every game because of some other reason and just generally have a bit of fun at least.

What this anon said is true. A lot of people here do mathhammer and theory hammer, but they don't actually play much. You playing is the biggest factor of what will be good or not in your area. Your meta might be very casual, the players you go up against might take poor army compositions or just be bad commanders.

Mathhammer and theoryhammer is good for seeing who and what is strongest against other strong things for the absolute most consistent and competitive units, but it really boils down to you playing and seeing what you're up against and what works for you.

Fellow Admech player here. To be quite honest if you do this there is only one way the games can go. You either table them or you lose. Period. Except maybe in the second scenerio with kill points, but even then you probably wanna try and table them to be safe. Good news, there is no fucking way they will be able to kill you. They might pop one bot, maybe two, but if your dominus is healing and you take the IWND relic your little deathstar is nigh unkillable at that point level because they probably won't have too many heavy weapons to deal with them. Decently killy too. Personally as much as I love that formation I don't think that either you or you opponent will have much fun. It's fine in higher point levels where there are other things, but if all you bring is that your options are limited and so are their's, and that isn't very fun.

Yarrick, Straken, and Creed together would be amazing.

Yarrick is almost fine now with his current rules, I just think he should have 1 more attack and Stubborn.

Straken needs to be an IC with the Senior Officer rule. Him giving Monster Hunter to an entire blob would be hilarious and fun. His buff bubble also needs to be 12 inches again and not 6. Giving him a 4++ and IWND would be really nice considering the fluff.

Creed should be able to select 2 of his own Warlord traits. His order range should be 18 or 24. Otherwise he's fine.

Another idea would be to bring back the Fortress of Arrogance and Yarrick with updated rules and abilities. The third character would hopefully be a Scion special character or an Arbites.

>>52061267
The problem with that Triumvirate is that it's just 3 human-sized characters who aren't known for riding big things.
Well except for Yarrick but I doubt they'd make a new baneblade variant for just a triumvirate.
>>
>>52061253
Well it's an army you could use to define "monopose" or "More of the same".
While simple to paint they're on the opposite side of the spectrum of something like Orks or Harlequins where every model has his own quirk.
Hell, even Space Marines will have Seargents and special weapons to break the monotony on a squad basis.

I dunno. I want to run a tide of Bloodletters and such, overwhelming the opposing force with bodies so they'll be able to get in melee merely by the fact that nothing can get rid of them fast enough, but using the Decurion is really prohibitive of upgrades at 1500, since if I take a Forgehost I can't afford much upgrades if I give every unit of Bloodletters an Instrument and Banner, because they both seem pretty useful, but the Forgehost provides reliable AT and AA. I do and don't want to use Bloodthirsters because they're cool, but man, I'm afraid I'll screw up such a cool model. Can FMCs hit flyers in melee? If so, I really want to spring for the D-Thirster, because that one definitely has a really cool model, even if it does strike at I1.

Why couldn't they make one? It would be equal in points roughly to a primarch and it would make sense.

>>52061351

I mentioned Scions because they have no named characters and a very limited codex unit choice. I figured that might make them a bit more interesting so they're not just a faceless entity anymore.

I mentioned the Arbites because they're awesome. :P
>>
>>52061305
What about a horse riding Independent Character so they can release new Rough Riders and give them a formation that is like a DKoK rider platoon?

Yarrick could come with a personalized Baneblade accessory sprue for his Fortress of Arrogance.

Straken could ride an Ogryn in a Master Blaster type situation. Or a whale.

>>52061139
Add to that the concept that while winning can be important for enjoyment, it's not necessarily the most important aspect.

A close football match between two trash teams might be more enjoyable than watching a complete blowout at the super bowl. That moment in that 3D brawler or shooter where you are down to minimum health, and manage to perform the clutchest of maneuvers may bring more satisfaction even if the game is ultimately lost than a simple, winning-by-the-numbers encounter.

tl;dr, being optimal on the table top might not be optimal for fun. But I'm a Tau player so what do I know.

A tough match up. I personally prefer Bloodthristers because of the native 12" move and 3+ Save. Tho Keeper is a Psyker and can get Invisibility.

Guard box would be a big ass tank, an overblown lord general, and either a super primaris psycher or a super commisar.

>>52061144
Bringing 2 units of a combined 12 Deep Striking Haywire shots along with a wall of Plasma and Grav rolling up the table can kill just about everything that doesn't ignore your armor.

>>52061145
Points taken. I guess I'll not just show up with it. Don't want the others to have no fun, either. Felt kind of bad already when I destroyed the Ork guy's Gorkanaut dead with only one unit of Kataphrons turn 1 and destroy half of our Deathwatch player's army in one shooting phase as well last tournament.

Just picked up my KDK codex and now I remember why I dropped this army.

>pretty much have to buy a full CSM army AND daemon army
>shitty taxes like a unit of possessed in your core and a unit of warp talons in the jump formation. Awful units for the most part, and over costed as fuck
>Only a handful of formations to begin with
>daemons are expensive as fuck. 30 quid for a box of flesh hounds, 60 for a box of bloodcrushers
>have to lug around heaps of excess models in case you need to summon anything like a skull cannon

I love the army in theory but fuck all this shit
>>
>>52061366
Because all the other triumvirates recently have had a regular-sized model, a big-sized model and a monster-sized model.

I wasn't counting the Bloodthrone (which is the Herald on a Chariot) which technically Slaanesh has the same option.

And true the Skullcannon CAN charge into melee and fuck shit up. But from my experience. I find it brought for the shooting / grenades it gives AND melee unit as a secondary nature

I love Kastellans, absolutely love them, but I try to limit how much I use them, because I've never not seen them preform magnificently. The only time I've ever seen them killed was after I'd been drowned in two max sized units of flayed ones. By all means bring them, but at 850 I wouldn't recomend just a cohort cybernetica. Take a few squads of destoryers one thing of kastellans and a dominus. There should be points for that. You have more of a presence, your opponent has more he can plan for, and more stuff he can actually kill.
>>

Yeah, probably going to bring a Elimination Maniple. Still absolutely deadly, more flexible and not as invulnerable.

Yeah, if it's a triumvirate of the guard, it's whatever. I'd prefer to see models in non-standard or non-iconic style. Commissars from different styles would be incredibly welcome.

The real issue is that We've already had two Triumvirates of the Imperium, and none was "Triumvirate of the Sororitas" or whatever. The most recent one is *almost* Triumvirate of the Space Marines.

In other words, a Guard triumvirate will likely be just one model out of three.
>>
>>52061424
lower Points cost but that would make all the veterans, Chosen, wolfwolfs, etc. that can take power weapons even more overcosted. buff melee in General, less ap 2 ranged weapons. 20 Points for a Plasma gun would be a start.

Well...quite frankly no. It really wouldn't. Be fluffy I mean, at least not with regular canon fluff. You could probably do it with a little logical acrobatics. But, if that's what you want, then do it. It's your damn army, have fun with it.

>Krieg is pretty anti-mutant and anti-psyker, so you're gonna have to bend it alittle to come up with an exuse.

Let them sweeping advance. Let them take 2 special weapons for every 5. Let them take plasma cannons.

This is what I had in mind.

Not sure on the Skitarii units, was considering to take a Vanguard + Arc Rifles unit and a blank Ranger unit for ranged harassment instead, possibly.
>>
>>52061832
No, tallarn are the lawrence of arabia of IG.
>>
>>52061909

A point, but your assuming that presented a relic equally significant to them different guard regiments wouldn't do the same. If you say presented a guard regiment with part of Solar Macharius you best believe them fuckers would hit their knees.
>>
>>52061909
Jurten wasnt a saint, and they drop to their knees because he's the one who ''saved'' them by nuking the planet to hell. Difference between venerating a hero and a great saint.

>>
>>52060233

bit late to reply but it consisted of a demi company which contained the command squad, plus a librarius conclave
>>
>>52061932

Personally I would definitely take the rangers. The increased range and move through cover is worth it, and they wound consistently. Vanguard toss more dice around but against big suckers their guns can't do too much, and they have to get so close that half of them will die before you get to shoot with them.
>>
>>52061921
I would say as long as there's no Riptides and it isn't exclusively Crisis suit troops you're fine. Treat a Riptide as you would a very cheap Imperial Knight for when it's okay to take one.
>>
>>52061921

Even if you didn't have the Kroot I wouldn't mind as long as you weren't running a wing.

Speaking of I just learned that the owner of my shop has signed off on the Tau player using a Riptide wing in the "for fun" league, wherein he had specifically banned power gaming, Cheese, and WAAC, cause the fucker bought him off.

Would like to hear the logic behind that considering that the last "for fun" league I was in didn't allow formation to have a quick and easy solution to most of the non-eldar cheesey stuff, then didn't allow for wraithknights, limited wraithguard, and used the 5th ed warp spider rules
>>
>>52062058

The logic is that he spent exorbitant amounts of money at the store. Full stop. The owner knows it's cheese mongering. He knows the guys opponents are fucked. He just decided to throw the rest of us under the bus.

>>52062093

That is...not quite accurate. To be exact Krieg is a death cult. Literally. A doctrine of Repentance and Salvation from our sins through death in the name of the Emperor combined with a siege warfare specialty, and then multiplied by grim dark and taken up to eleven. They aren't emotionless either, just emotionally stunted. Fear, joy, and most individualism is beaten out of them.
>>
>>52062086
Ouch. So the only real option is to not be in the league and hope others show up to play casually or enter the league which pretty much has a predetermined winner and be guaranteed to lose if you get matched against that guy. First time the FLGS owner's done something like this?
>>
>>52062126
Well then I guess that they would love celestine because she dies sooooooo much.
>>
>>52062088
Make them with all the extra bits and spare parts.

You know like when this was a hobby and not just waacfagging circle jerk.
>>
>>52062086

Rally the workers and seize the means of game production, anon. Convince everyone else that this is bullshit and the LGS must be boycotted. The owner will fold under the fail of negative yelp and facebook reviews and the dissipation of his player base; one Taufag can't support a store. You will be hailed as a hero forevermore.
>>
>>52062027
Whats the point of the inquisitor?
>>
>>52061683
Would it really need an extra fluffing? DKoK are a death cult right? So Celestine happens to be on a battlefield with members of the DKoK and is leading them in a charge to turn the tables in a particularity bleak part of the battlefield, so the kriegers follow her since she is now their commanding officer
>>
>>52062127

New owner. First league. It's an escalation league with the points going up each month by 500 point increments. We are now into month two, and here comes the Riptide wing. Funnily enough the Tau player was my opponent in the first month, so I probably won't have to deal with him again until finals assuming I make it. Normally the guy is good about this sort of thing. He tries really hard to promote a good community for the store. Gotta admit I lost some respect for him after this. He can't even defend his decision, just told me to deal with it.

So no real good choice here then since the guy already has your money for the league.

You could also drop the league, but that might not accomplish much since the guy has your money for the league.

So any advice for a new dark elder player, I will mostly be fighting necrons as that is what my brother has started collecting. I'm planning on using an archon in a venom with 4blasterborn and a we way portal to get behind his line, scourges to take out his vehicles armed with haywire blasters and on butting my warriors in raiders to take out stragglers, maybe give them shock prows and put a succumb us with armour of strife in a venom with some Wyches nearby to mop up stragglers. I also have a razor wing jet fighter and ravaged for fast moving support. Any advice or tips?

Open-topped is a tradeoff to be able to assault efficiently. Looted wagons are good weapon platforms and can get an 'ard case if their cargo is shooty (Burnas & Tank bustas).

CSM has a higher win rate right now than Tau.

Thing is I actually like the guy. This is the first time he's done something questionable. The shop was in the red, really far in the red, but it's not anymore.

Hey /tg/, "counts as" question.

Since formations are probably here to stay, what would you like done to them in 8th?

I think the "allied"formations need more rules/prerequisits

Instinctive behavior is something all Tyranids have, basically every turn they make a leadership check and if they fail you don't get to control them they basically act according to a table, which could cause them to eat themselves or some other shitty thing.

Synapse creatures are creatures that stop the instinctive behavior rule when they are in range.

Mob Rule: all Ork models gain Fearless, Crusader, Fleet. When a mob is destroyed, they enter ongoing reserves.

Waagh!: all orkz models gain Furious Charge, Rage, Rampage, Feel No Pain, Twin Linked, Rending, Shred for a fill turn. Each warboss can extend this effect by 1 turn each.

'Ere we go: same as Battle focus and Soulburst.

>>52062956
>Shoot a unit

>Get to shoot again
With good placement they can pretty much double the Eldar's already insane firepower. Not to mention strong melee units could kill an enemy in one turn and then potentially roll on through to the next enemy in the same turn. Although that would be difficult to pull off and I'd actually be impressed more than anything else.
>>
>>52062948
Each turn if they aren't in combat or falling back.
If they're out of Synapse range, they take a leadership test. If failed, roll on the relevant table to their IB subtype.
>>
>>52062770
Delete every "use 3+ of X, receive bonus" as they're purely marketing ploys.
Remove every formation that requires named characters.
All formations should be around 3 to 5 units big.

Each Detachment gets a formation slot, which you can fill with one (1) formation. You can't ally in formations.

Every formation brings together units and provides them with synergy without directly increasing their firepower or resilience.

Optimal example is the suppression force.

This is Apoc, so no formations and such.

Stormbird, for one thing. Guaranteed reserves mean you can cruise in needing Skyfire to hit what's essentially two Baneblades with two Void Shields on top. Also S:D massive blast.

Huge swarms of Guard artillery, with psychic support, and Mechanicus Kataphrons by the dozen with Cawl giving them all stealth and shrouded and/or BS5 or a 4++, all fronted by a whole bunch of Fearless Conscript platoons which he'll have to shoot or be locked.

Probably also a true shit ton of servo-skulls just to fuck any Tau deepstrike shenanigans.

>>52063269
I actually DM'd him and said I think it's a really bad idea to include money because it'll create a competitive atmosphere around apoc which doesn't mix, imagine 10 people playing a game where everyone is watching dice rolls like a hawk and constantly stoping the game for very unimportant rules debates

Warboss statline.

Wargear

Mega Armour with inbuilt Kustom Mega Blasta (replaces twin-linked Shoota), Bosspole, Cybork Body.

Special Rules

Tellyporta Assault: All Ork units in an army that contains Nazdreg must start the game in reserves and enter play via Deep Strike, and may roll to arrive from Deep Strike reserve from Turn 1. Any Ork unit that deploys by Tellyporta Assault must roll a D6; on a 1, something has gone horribly wrong with the Tellyporta arrays and the unit suffers a Deep Strike mishap.

Boss ov da Bad Moons: Nazdreg's armies are notoriously well equipped, even by Ork standards. To represent this, any Ork model that can select wargear upgrades must take as many as possible; they're really tooled up!

It's only 10 points for a shot against a 100+ point tank so it's worth it if it does damage.

Blood angels have the option of inferno pistols or even DOUBLE inferno pistols which are much pricier and shorter range but are reusable.
You can basically only even use them if you're in a drop pod because it's the only way to guarantee you'll get close enough.

A min squad is probably the cheapest troop choice in the army and if youre looking for something to die nothing does it better than a t3 model with no save, keep them within 7 of 2 units you want to soulburst, either they die and you can shoot for free or they dont die and tie up something in combat for a few rounds with that 4+ invuln

Im refering specifically to the conscript sprue, not the cadian sprue, which any guard player with half a brain would use since it's considerably cheaper. And after you've recast the pieces there is no reason you can't do some cutting and greenstuff work to change the poses a bit if you're autistic about it.

Shitty snapfit. Everyone I know just calls them conscript sprues, cause that's all you'd use that shit for.

On a Slaneeshi note, who can tell me where this pic originally came from? White Dwarf? If so which (about). As an aside, this made me think being a Chaos marine was not as fun as it was on the tabletop (2nd ed).

Fuck you & fuck Crud for ruining Orks.
