Posted in the last thread

I have some lore questions relating to this>>52261115

What exactly are the details with the soul drinkers and chaos corruption. How can some stay loyal even with heavy corruption like spider legs

>>52264050

Does Cawl have a mustache? I never noticed that detail before.

Can Daemons win casually, or can they only win through cheese? A friend at my LGS plays daemons and I don't think I've ever seen him win a game. Is it just bad tactics on his part or do Daemons NEED summon spam or an incursion to be successful? I know Daemons are supposed to be god-tier but I don't think I've even seen a batrep where they win without summoning.

They think they are loyal to the Imperium, and yet refuse to see the fact that they have become extremely corrupted by the very thing they're trying to fight.

They're basically slightly-less-crazy Emperors Children who are unironically loyal.

>>52264061
It's cables coming out of his nose. Can see them on the model.


So yes, it's basically a mustache out of cables.

I sometimes ask my opponent if i can shove bolters to my IG Veteran Sergeants since they are modeled with them. Usually its fine and I allow him to take extra meltabomb or something useful.

Funnily enough I have many cases where that single Bolter has done something extra-ordinary. I remember Stormsurge dying to Monster Hunter Bolter.

>>52264226
Without warp charge support you can pretty much just ignore him.

>>52264226
High volume high strength fire preferably with skyfire.

It's bad, but keep in mind he's 650 points.

I think what we need is easier ways to ground FMC's, and a way for armies that aren't psychic heavy to counter psykers.

I'm kinda confused on the ruling on this: Does Authority of the Inquisition let me generate 2 warlord traits if my Inquisitor is my warlord anyways?

The only time i can see that happening is under 1K points, which was what happened above.

Is this a reasonable list in your opinion? I'm getting back into 40k and playing Thousand Sons. Will probably buy the models to build this list early next week and get started next weekend. Would love some feedback.

Especially if you could give advice on making the list more in line with the background. Not a fan of Tzaangors, but I needed bodies.

>>52264058
The mechanicus finds one of dorns weapons and the soul drinkers want it and they wont give it up because its some dark age tech they want to study. They attack the mechanicus and thats how they become renegades. While they are running they find tzeentch cultists that convince them they are worshipping the emperor and the chapter starts to join the cult, theres a schism and the ones that joined the cult kill the ones that didnt. Eventually they realize they are now chaos marines and try to turn back. They are hunted down by the fists and during their trial theres a daemonic incursion and they help defeat it while also dying to a man. For this they are secretly honoured by the chapter.

Thats how i remeber it anyway.

>Tl;dr they were duped and wanted to regain their honour

They didn't all die, if I remember right three of them survived, at the end of the battle they decided to walk into the warp portal that had opened in the middle of the fists' ship to meet whatever fate was waiting for them on the other side and were never heard from again.

>>52264671
Well, he said that his Gorkanaut didn't survive a single turn against any of the other players either. Except the Imperial Guard dude, though that's just Imperial Guard also being bad.

Anyone know where i can get the latests audiobooks?

I also checked the mega links provided in the general but there are very few audiobooks there.

>>52264719
All memes aside, the gorkanaut is the high value target in that guys list, they put out a lot of shots that can do damage if left unchecked, any AT will go into that thing in any game.

>>52264753

I've never listened to any of the 40K audiobooks, which ones are good?

I'm always looking for something to listen to while painting minis.

While that is undeniably true, it should still be able to take a few pot-shots and not be popped off the table turn one in a small 850 tournament.

I wish I was making this shit up, but this guy...man, this fucking guy is a piece of work.

For those who don't understand the car one - a Kia Soul is a little hatchback that barely has enough room for a backseat, and is designed 100% for comfort over performance, whereas a 2017 Ram 2500, without getting into the hyper-violent shit-slinging fest that is the Truck Debate, is significantly nicer than a Kia Soul and infinitely more practical if you want to do anything or go anywhere, especially here in Houston where most locations are designed with larger vehicles in mind

Almost all audio dramas are good because they are narrated by generally 4-5 different people and have a lot of production that goes on. (sound effects etc.) The bad ones are the exception and not the rule. That is the main reason i listen to them too. You get bored when painting and modelling.
As for audiobooks they are narrated by a single reader and can get funny sometimes ,especially when guys try to pull female voices. (It is not that bad but it gets funnier when they try to do two seperate female voices) but most of them are also good.
I would avoid unabridged books because since you would be multi-tasking it woudl be natural to lose track of what is gonig on in a 9-13 hour ride and you wont get anything from it in the end.

So the next natural progression for the plot as we move into the 8th edition will be the adding of primarch tier units for each faction as well as revamping codices to try and unfuck them.

Hopefully Orks, Nids and Sisters get some shit.

Anyway, there was a mention of how a necron warfleet managed to breach the martian perimeter near the close of the 41st millennium, and dissapeared in the Noctis Labrynth.

How awesome would it be if they awaken the void dragon.

Also, I probably should have mentioned this was a full-package truck that he got for free. This was basically a $60K truck he got for free as a graduation present, he sold it for $20K and got a fucking Kia. A KIA. When he had the truck FOR FREE.

IW Havocs get Tank Hunter so don't bother with special weapon Chosen. A minimum size Termicide squad can be useful, and for shits and giggles you could take cyber-berzerkers as Possessed.

Why are you taking a Warband anyway? The extra rules for a Grand Company aren't that great, a regular CAD lets you take more fluffy stuff like Ferrum Infernus Dreadnoughts and Rapier batteries. It also gives you Obsec Obliterators, which you can take individually in your spare Troops slots and teleport onto objectives for maximum trolling.

What's worse is even our other unique weapons are just different versions of other stuff; the the baleflamer is a inferno(?) cannon with torrent and soulblaze, the ectoplasma cannon is a plasma cannon with 1 more strength, and shittier range.

Noise weapons are nice, but again, one's a better bolter, another's a better missile launcher, and the last is a better heavy flamer, and they're only for slaaneshis/mixed CSM/Black Legion

Our only real "unique" option is the Hades, which is massively overcosted, on forgefiends and even on rapiers (35 points for str 8 heavy 4 ap4 pinning is a bit much, especially consider a laser destroyer is only 15 points on a rapier.)

>>52265598
Yeah. Chaos doesn't even really have a unique thing like Grav going on for them. Noise is the closest thing, and like you said, that's on one unit and is essentially just ignores cover.

Honestly, all I wanted was to run a small Lightning Claw squad of Tartaros termies with the grenade harness so they could charge into cover and sweep people. I'd even pay the full 35 points for those so they wouldn't be strictly better either.

>>52265644
Aaaalrighey. For starters, you don't need an archon that expensive. I'd advise running am agoniser and a blaster with a shadow field only. Drop the shock prow, you don't need it.

I personally drive a Mazda, but even I'll admit that a guy selling a brand-new, fully-loaded vehicle for less than a third of its value when he received it for free is completely and totally ridiculous. At the bare minimum the guy should have sold the truck at a dealership, which since it's a brand-new high-performance model would probably net him roughly 80-85% of its purchase price, bought the Kia, and pocketed the difference, but there's no way in hell any reputable dealer paid $20K for that model of vehicle - even the most basic new trucks (which that isn't) go for at minimum of $30K, and really more in the $35-38K range before it's something you'd really consider buying if you actually want your truck to do anything.

Realistically, he should have kept the truck until it began to have issues (so 2-5 years) at which point he'd trade it in for a different car. As a fellow Texan, fuel costs aren't that big of a deal here (at least in a relative sense, as literally everywhere is a noticeable drive and will eat fuel) and most modern trucks get pretty solid gas mileage, especially the higher-end models.

Dude just made a real shit financial decision based on personal opinion without actually looking into the subject material, and it's perfectly okay to laugh at that.

>It'd be BS to force them to "pay" for something they couldn't even use on the tabletop when buying it
Have you seen the genestealer sprue?

>>52265625
Because on the last poll that got taken, it turned out there are actually very few Eldar and Tau players, but a surprisingly number of Ork, Dark Eldar, and Tyranid players.

It may be hard to believe, but it's often likely that the people here who say it's unfair that vanilla marines get nice things are playing armies that haven't gotten nice things in a long time.

You just have to accept that Vanilla marines are on the same bullshit tier as Tau, Eldar, and Chaos Daemons.

>>52265660
They're based on running a whole blob of Tacticals with Chainswords with a bunch of Scouts attached to them into melee and their Chapter Tactics benefit from losing models by giving that unit 1 more attack per model. They get Crusader in addition to allow getting closer faster.

They also aren't allowed to take Librarians.

And basic Tactical marines are way overcosted for what they do and suck in melee and can't into footslogging anymore at all.

Basically, Black Templars are built on every downside Space Marines currently have and their unique Crusader squads can only be used in a single, very large, very limiting Formation.

Their "upsides" are that their Troops can take Land Raiders as Dedicated Transports (which are also way overcosted and explode way too easy) and that they can take a heavy and special weapon in a 5-man squad, like the old Las/Plas days, which sadly isn't good enough anymore either.

>>52265663
It'd certainly fit aggressive melee/assault traitor legions more than any loyalist one.

As an Alpha Legion player that doesn't want to use too much chaosy stuff, I'm hoping for a hades predator or new guns that are actually unique.

It'd also be cool to see legion specific units other than cult troops.

>>52265741
Yeah. It would have fit so perfectly. The Cataphracii terminators as the shooty loyalist version, and the Tartaros terminators as the melee chaos version. Alas, no such luck.

It would be neat to see them try and add some more exclusive stuff, as well as the potential for more specialized legion units.

For now though, I feel like we're stuck relying on Forgeworld for anything like that, and with how quickly they release things that's a long wait.

>>52265741
Too bad we probably won't get anything like that. Marine players don't know how lucky they are with the sheer amount of things they have. Don't we have the oldest running codex in circulation?

To play a little bit of Devils Advocate here;

>the the baleflamer is a inferno(?) cannon with torrent and soulblaze

The Torrent part is pretty nice though, and it comes on a platform that can very effectively use it.

>the ectoplasma cannon is a plasma cannon with 1 more strength, and shittier range.

That +1S does enable it to ID Space Marine characters in a heartbeat, though, which is kind of nice.

>Noise weapons are nice, but again, one's a better bolter, another's a better missile launcher, and the last is a better heavy flamer, and they're only for slaaneshis/mixed CSM/Black Legion

A. All of these weapons gain Ignores Cover, which is a major buff in this edition of Jink-spamming.
B. Fuck you, Doom Sirens and Blastmasters are amazing, and Blastmasters are probably one of the absolute best man-portable Heavy weapons in the game because of their flexibility and being an Ignores Cover S8 AP3 Blast.
C. It is important that Slaanesh get some sort of unique buff compared to other Chaos factions, and Noise Marines are iconic servants of Slaanesh.

>Our only real "unique" option is the Hades, which is massively overcosted,

We pay for the Heavy 4 and the S8, which can and does make a difference compared to other Autocannon weapons.

I 100% agree with everything you've said though. It's BS how little Chaos really gets at the end of the day.

Question: What size is the minimum point amount for you to have to fun with? I mean, at what point do you feel that the game really excels at what it's trying to do, and is the suggested game size. And how many models does a game of your prefered size consist of?

>>52265834

>>52265824

>>52265866

>>52265834
I suppose 500, since that was the lowest cost I ever played at and it was still fun.

>>52265834
My group plays the Heralds of Ruin killteams fairly often, so the minimum size for me is quite low. A handful of models each works out fine.

For real games though, I would say 1000 points is my preferred level, provided people don't try and cheeseball it. At that point level, you're beyond 500 points where you barely have enough to fill in the required HQ and troops, but not quite to the higher point levels where you can justify starting to take multiple several hundred point models.

Granted, my group often doesn't have flyers or superheavies kicking about in such small games, so that helps things as well.

>>52265817
All of them ARE nice stuff, but they're mostly just spikey version of stuff that exists already.

The main issue I have with the baleflamer is would be that (I'm pretty sure) the heldrake would not be able to fire it without torrent, and it's entirely limited to the drake.

The ectoplasma cannon either has to be on a rapier (waste) or a forgefiend (shit platform, overcosted, too fragile) but on its own it's not too bad.

Depends on the army, frankly.

My Marines/Inquisition don't get into high gear till around 750-1000, because of the taxes necessary to get something relatively fluffy together. Guard have the same issue and they're a big chunk of what I face. So that's typically the bottom line I'll go for.
Tau, I've done as low as 500pt for full scale games, but I don't enjoy playing them and they're getting sold this week.

Then you extra shouldn't take a Warband since it forces you to spend points on Elites and Fast Attack slots, and shoehorns your Heavy Support options. The Hellforged Warpack is pretty awesome.

>>52265899
>The main issue I have with the baleflamer is would be that (I'm pretty sure) the heldrake would not be able to fire it without torrent, and it's entirely limited to the drake.

It would still be able to, it'd just be horrifically gimped. I do think it should at LEAST be available to the Maulerfiend as a breath-weapon, to make it not 100% useless if it's immobilized, and a Predator-variant with either that or an Ectoplasma Destructor (Ectoplasma Cannon but with Large Blast) would be pretty neat.

>The ectoplasma cannon either has to be on a rapier (waste) or a forgefiend (shit platform, overcosted, too fragile) but on its own it's not too bad.

It should really be available to Helbrutes in place of a Plasma Cannon (for the same cost), on Chaos Contemptors, and as mentioned on a Predator variant in a slightly up-gunned manner. It'd be neat if we could field them in Havoc squads as well, but that's asking for a bit much imo.

I'd just like to see something unique to us, really. A while back a homebrew Chaos supplement a guy was making here on /tg/ had "Ectoplasma Weapons" that were +1S versions of Loyalist Plasma Weapons (Gun, Pistol, Blaster, and Cannon), that had the option to fire an additional shot in exchange for not being able to take Armor Saves against Gets Hot! wounds. THAT was pretty cool, and actually gave the weapons some utility.

It'd also be cool if they were available on more than 1 platform. Imagine Hades or Ectoplasm predators, or a land raider with baleflamer sponsons, or a defiler with a chest mounted ectoplasm cannon and baleflamer side mount...

>>52265817
You make good points, though the only thing I would argue is that while those are nice changes, they aren't particularly exciting or interesting changes.

'Daemon plasma is slightly hotter! +1 strength!' Sounds nice on paper, but then you see that it's only on a single unit (two with forgeworld). Noise weapons are a bit better in that regard, since Ignores cover really fits the flavor for Noise marines, but it suffers from a similar problem in limited availability.

Another aspect is that while these are all nice options, they're also pretty fairly priced. Nothing out here is insanely overpowred. The Blastmaster is 30 points for an Ignores cover krak missile. More when you factor in how many other noise marines you have to take to get a good number of them.

Chaos doesn't have something like Grav or Helfrost that has really unique special rules. It's all basic rulebook stuff tweaked for more effectiveness.

I'm not saying Chaos needs Grav weapons or something insanely undercosted like them, but a weapon for the army that was more widespread with a stronger theme or identity would be nice. Noise weapons are great in that regard, but not everyone plays Slaanesh.

A. The asshole of America is Oklahoma or Pennsyltuckey. Anybody who has been there will tell you this is true.

B. Texas is actually an extremely important state economically and strategically, and is completely essential to the survival of the US - more than the state of New York and almost as much as the state of California. Losing Texas would cause horrific damage to the US food supply, trans-continental trade (good-bye American Southwest, now you're useless, and I hope you didn't want to sell any of the coal coming out of the Great Plains), and strategic reserves of corn, beef, uranium, helium, and oil, and that's assuming it's a friendly breakaway.

C. Mexico would literally cream their pants to get ahold of Texas if they could, because they like having oil, food, lumber, and money.

Yeah you could probably find someone to buy the DA sprue if you have a lot of people who are running DA because they got started with the Dark Vengeance set.

So why is it allowed that the damn Tactical Squad sprue comes with barely any Heavy Weapon options, both the regular one and the Blood Angels one?

Lascannons are probably the only heavy weapon I ever use on normal Tacs and of course that one only comes with Devs.

Driving their vehicles though is like driving on ice. The Ork ordinance is undriveable. Arguably fluffy that way, but dang is it frustrating.

It never was. You either move to get the Plasma Gun in range, or stay stationary to fire the Lascannon.

It kind of is now that Running and Snap Shots are a thing, and Loyalists can break up into combat squads to cater to both weapons; all that said grav weapons are the new be-all end-all so lasplas is still dead there. Chaos got fucked for daring to minmax so now ten man minimum for heavy weapons, and no Combat Squads cheesing. Take ten men in a Rhino with two Special weapons for the offense, and ten men with a single Heavy Weapon for defense and holding home field objectives.

>>52265834
Generally 1000 points is the minimum where I feel you start getting "real" games of 40k. Less than that can still be fun, especially for new players who are still figuring things out, but it's a very different beast.

List for an upcoming store narrative campaign, gonna replace Astorath with a similar chaplain when I generate a character. Thoughts on the list?

Also, do Blood Angels have an abnormal amount of Librarians, or what? I mean they have librarian dreadnaughts and shit.

Having an argument with some guys on 1d4chan over whether or not Solomon Lok goes in the GK tactics page.
They claim his rules say he can be a GK HQ and they haven't been updated so it's still valid.
However, his rules also reference page 90 of the GK codex for rules on inquisitorial retinues. The current GK codex obviously doesn't have any rules about retinues.
I argue he should go in the inquisition tactics because for one thing, he's not a fucking grey knight - he's ordo xenos.

God I fucking hate forgeworld for all this bullshit of putting out books and never updating them.

>>52264064
I don't think hey breed to spam summons but their infantry are so fragile they normally need to just summon one or two extra.

They're a very difficult army to play due to being very melee and psyker focused and having strange rules, but they are very powerful.
It depends on what kind of daemons he plays, each god or mixture of has it's own preferred tactics.

Unless he's playing mono khorn and not using daemonkin, that's just shit.

>>52268858
You're better off not taking powerfists because whatever you need a power fist for means it cannot be damaged by anything else.
Way too many points on a single model. 48 points for a 1 wound 3+ FNP.

secondly, you're better off having 6 units of 5 rather than 3 of 10. You can spread out more and attack more things. It's harder for your opponent to deal with 6 instead of 3.
A unit of 5 is still putting out 25 dice each - 50 is overkill.

>>52268888
Gotcha, good point on the power fist. How else should I bring some anti-tank though?

>>52268924
Power mauls are str 7 so you can glance most armor that way.
Other than that, 30 points = 2 inferno pistols

Consider other lists in the thread and see how you'd match up. Take a look at this list and say what you think you'd do and he'd do to counter you:

>>52268858

>>52269072
I'd keep my units further back, maybe even away from objectives.

His Dreads'd be dead in no time.

His assault marines are huge and expensive af. With three big melee blobs he can only do so much damage. They'd also fall prey to my Suppression Force while trying ot get to objectives/my troops.

After softening up his troops, I'll probably go in with mine. Even if I'd get too close, he's still using 300 pts to charge 60-100 pts; in between his charges I'll have time to throw in a few shots from my Suppression Force, Devs, sterns, HQ and Dread.

As I said, I've not much experience but I'd feel pretty confident in such a matchup. Am I missing something critical? Would I get wrecked?

>>52269072
>>52269163
There's not really much he can do to counter as his army is so focused on two things, no? He'll have to spawn in base and jump across the map no matter what

He can only really counter Supp Force with his Dreads and they're in Drop Pods. I could counter-counter this by Infiltrating my Devs in cover somewhere closer to their spawn but where they can be covered by my other troops

How many points would you say the psyker special rule is worth or a character?

Keep in mind a couple things: he inherently ruins any attempt to infiltrate which your army is built around, and two: his early game potential.

He has an even chance of getting first turn, and there's also Night Fighting which can give him cover from your heavy guns. Now his formation gives him free 6" move that's not scouts before the game starts. This is important for one, it lets him redeploy out of your LoS before the game begins, and two, he can charge even after making the move. That's a 6" super scout, 6" regular move or even a 12" move if he wants to use his JP, and then either a 7" regular charge or an average of 8-9" charge with his JP. That's a straight shot of 25 inches on average if using his JP in the movement phase, 23 if he's charging into cover, so he'll kill anything too close up. Obviously range is a big favor here for you.

You gotta accept he can seriously absorb fire power. Your suppresion force can shit out hits, but you're only wounding on 3+ to my knowledge, while he still gets a 3+ save plus a fnp. One of those big units will also get to reroll 1s on that from the relic a chaplain has. He's built to assume losses long enough to get in your face.

Cover is your friend and enemy here. It /might/ slow him down, but it will hinder your LoS more than anything here. You're biggest strength is as you've pointed out that you have a shit ton more units than he can deal with. If he's smart he'd split one of the big squads into two five man squads. You're also going to have to prioritize: are you going to take the naughts out first as they drop, or focus on the blenders that WILL hit your lines turn two.

>>52269296
Someone did hence why this thread is so dead at times

>>52269068
>Force the skitarii into the enemy base
I'm not really sure what you mean here, 40k doesn't have "enemy bases" unless you mean into the enemy deployment zone, in which case the skitarii are probably gonna die. March them to objectives pr wherever there are vehicles to haywire to death. Also you're better off taking them in squads of 5. Since squads can generally only fire at one unit it makes your opponent to either ignore the squad or waste wounds.

>>52269068
Vanguard will probably get chewed up by gunfire on their way over. They're more fragile than Scouts and they don't get any fancy infiltration from your Warlord so they'll have to footslog.
Supression Force, Devastators and Dorito are a solid fire support.
Scouts are kind of meh. They'll do great humping cover but if you try and hold an objective out in the open with them, they'll be torn apart. ATSKNF means they can't be caught by sweeping advances, but they can still be forced off objectives by failing Morale tests and falling back, even if they'll auto-regroup.
MoA is useful but if the game plan changes and you need to get somewhere you're still footslogging.

>>52269163
>>52269171
If his Dreads get ahold of your Whirlwinds you're in trouble, and your plan kind of relies on their pieplates to thin out enemy infantry. You can sit back and gunline reasonably well, but you lack anything capable of then blasting out of your lines and seizing objectives quickly before the game ends. Can you still give Scouts bikes? Otherwise maybe cheese it and load your Vanguard up in some Rhinos on Turn 1, that will significantly improve their lifespan and give you something to quickly respond with.

So much good feedback, I'll definitely have something to think about now, thanks guys!

Priority is not to win games tho; I wanna play something that plays like 'Raptors', not WAAC cheese. Sure, winning is fun but I mainly wanna collect, paint, fluff and play some friendly matches.

>>52269307
Ah, thank you for the lecture. Any way I could strengthen my army against something like this without sacrificing too much firepower?

>>52269337
And yeah, my 40k vocabulary ain't that great yet; meant his doployment zone.

The idea of the skitarii is they can soak damage while still actually do some killing, unlike IG. Usually I'd rather take more smaller units but due to Master of Ambush, I can infiltrate four units. Splitting the Vanguards would counteract that.

>>52269353
The Vanguards gain Infiltrate, as it merely states "Your Warlord and three non-vehicle units of your choice have the Infiltrate special rule.". Picked Vanguards as meatshields because they can actually kill stuff and is easy to ally in. Any better recommendations to get more units on board?

About the Scouts, hopefully they don't get to fight much, hoping I can keep the enemy away from them. But yeah, maybe I need a fast unit with ObjSec? Gonna look into it, thanks.

>>52269407
Trust me when I say Skitarii cannot soak damage. They may have 4+ armor and a 6+ feel no pain, but they're still just T3 dudes.

>>52269407
You're biggest problem is you have no way of slowing him down. Once he gets going, he'll just stay in the cover of wherever you parked his latest victim, and then get moving on the next one the turn after. Your best bet is to invest in some tarpit unit of some kind.

>>52269430
>>52269435
I was hoping Skitarii would relatively tarpitty. Should I go back to IG? Elysians are fluffy af but won't really work as a tarpit, would they?

>>52269444
Your skitarii are a good choice on thr grounds they can deal some hurt both in melee and ranged due to their various radiation rules and protocols. But they will never be a tarpit given they're Ld 8 at best, 1 wound, and no staying power. If you switch them out you lose a lot of your firepower, especially losing on on those arc rifles. You've got lascannons and a lot of missile launchers that could make up for that, but it's a tough call you have to make. If you do go Guard, I'd say an allied detachment with a big mass platoon or even conscripts with a priest to make them fearless. Bodies are the principle to combine with that fearless, forget fire power if you're going that route. Fluff could be a slave uprising, or some other riot the Raptors are using as cover. Plus, you get more ObSec with an allied detachment. Cheap Hq could be a commissar, not fearless but subborn and will keep bodies in the fight.

>>52269444
They can hold regular gunline units in melee for a while but they'll get shredded by any dedicated melee unit and they don't really have any way of getting fearless or stubborn, they have access to data-tethers that increase their leadership when under the effects of imperatives but beyond that they're likely to run even if they don't all die in the combat.

The two squads you have would be great vehicle killers. The skitarii are all about killing enemies through shooting, either dumping a fuckload of saves on enemies or overwhelming firepower. They can be a tarpit but you need a lot more than just two vanguard squads, unless you want to us the imperatives to increase their WS several turns in a row but that detracts from their shooting. If you want a tar-pit just go with a guard platoon and a priest. Now if you really want to run the vanguards as a sacrificial delaying force then I'd probably dump the arc rifles and just run them naked. They still do decent damage and you can put all those points into something that isn't going to probably die as soon as they get charged.

>>52269479
>>52269491
I seem to have three easy choices then:

1.
>Remove Devastators and Missile Launchers for 180 pts. That is only if the Dreadnought and the Arc Rifles are enough AV.

2.
>Switch out the Vanguards for 290 pts. They seem to be generally quite good units but they're also costly.

3.
>Remove Missile Launchers and Arc Rifles, keep the Devastators and gain 120 pts

Thoughts? Should I try something else? Just worried I might lose too much AV for not enough of a tarpit

>>52269521
Lord Commissar, Priest and an Infantry Platoon w/Conscripts cost at least 280 pts. Is it worth switching the Vanguards for this or should I look at something else?

>>52269521
Dropping the vanguards will buy the most bodies which is the most important aspect followed by fearless. If you go guard that'll get you a commissar, a priest, and enough bodies to stall at least one of his murder squads. You could stall out one of his dreads in particular since it won't shit out enough attacks for a couple of turns to burn through them all.

I could remove a Missile Launcher, the Suppression Force and reduce the size of the Vanguards to 5-man. That would allow me to throw in an allied detachment of IG:

Lord Commissar
Priest
Platoon w/Conscripts
Leman Russ

It'd be less fluffy tho.

>>52269598
The leman russ is a first blood waiting to happen. It just gives a big read target for the entire enemy's anti-tank. Plus, as you said, unfluffy.

>>52269598
Drop the russ, either use that for more bodies in the conscripts or something. Missing the ML isn't too bad since you have the arc rifles and las cannons covering all your anti tank. Plus, it focus's your scouts more so the other 4 aren't wasting their shooting on tanks. I'd say pump up that conscript squad, and use the extra points to buy some method of anti horde now that you've dropped the suppression. OR just bring back a cheaper version of it by dropping the Russ

I'm losing a lot of firepower like this tho.. Maybe something like this would be better?

Skitarii > Sterns?

Are the medipack and/or heavy weapon upgrades fro the IG Command squad worth the points at all? If not, what upgrades should I take?

>>52269680
I could switch Sniper Scouts Camo Cloaks for a Missile Launcher. That'd make my entire Raptors team be the heavy firepower while IG is the tank and Skitarii does the infantry stuff. Might be a bit fluffy and work pretty well?

>>52269691
>>52269699
Or maybe I should get FNP from Medi-Pack?

>>52269714
Depends if they're your primary detachment. The heavy weapons no, but generally the FnP is pretty good for a command squad if they're your warlord. Got to keep them orders coming either way though.

>>52269680
Not too bad. Your special ammo and Raptors rule interaction is wonky anyways, but you've got some solid fire power that will kill hordes and vehicles, blob up decent, and shit rending shots out. Use the blob turn two to stop a charge from a blender unit out in the open, and you'll leave your lascannons and snipers juicy targets to pick at. I'd say it's not too unfluffy either given how the Raptors/Ravenguard support other units with their operations. It infact reminds me of the Guerrilla operations rule for Raven guard in Horus Heresy which requires human allies and lets them become fearless. The only unfluffy thing to be honest would be the skitarii, which is up to Your Dudes.

Who the fuck thought the new Eldar were a good idea?

Eldar play well they get rewarded with extra movement, shooting and assault.

Enemy player plays well gets rewards with extra Eldar movement, shooting and assault on his own turn.

Also the annoying teleporting cheese God with not misshap because that is fair

The fuck is this bullshit!

>>52269782
Make the whole IG unit be indentured infantry for the AdMech, and the Skitarii are along as security in case the conscripts start getting ideas. Convert the Commissar and Priest or just build them from cogboy parts and bam, they're there to enforce the will of the Omnissiah and make sure the bullet-catchers know how much of a privelage it is to serve the AdMech.

It's actually kind of perfect since the Raptors would be 100% on board with these kind of joint operations.

>>52269782
Could be tasked out/owed mechanicus forces due to a long standing oath or something. The only thing I can honestly not as weak in this any more is the lack of anti anti which you can indirectly answer through volley fire power. Consider getting the Skitarri start collecting forces, which could give you a fluffy way to integrate those skitarii. Maybe take one big 10 man vanguard squad with arc rifles and an anti-air onager, then a dominus to help two link that shit plus his own doodads for the formation. That's all just unncessary fluffy shit, and your list itself would be great not.

Just make sure to make put those infantry squads together in one 20 blob, and the conscripts in a another. Stick the commissar with the squads so he has people to execute, and the rpiest with the condemned for fluff and fearlessness. This will either stick them out a turn against weaker CC squads buying you time to adjust position, or let them all die fast enough in a useful place that your next turn you can shoot at the exposed underbelly of a blender squad that is stuck out in the open from assault/consolidation.

>>52269818
Could be a slave revolt, basic rebellion for the Emperor, or any number of shitty humans supported by human operations.

Or they could be products of a magos genetor who uses them as slaves thralls just above servitors he loans out to Raptors to use. Raptors can more about the pragmatic win than winning the right way like Ravenguard do.

Haven't read the entire IG codex yet. Thought the Platoon counted as a single unit. Can I still 'combat squad' them? If so, Infantry+Commissar and Conscripts+Priest?

>>52269834
Maybe the Raptors were asked to oversee the transfer of some conscripts to be 'converted' into new Skitarii when they got jumped? Thus Raptors + Skitarii + IG + conscripts

>>52269868
You can combine Infantry squads, but not the company command squad. So those 20+ Inf and Commissar are good to go. Otherwise they operate as regular ten man squads who are just bought together and are deployed at the same time.

The as for converts, then I'd say buy an enginseer model to work as your priest. Maybe throw in some servitor models to the conscripts for fluff.

Well, I found out my Warhammer buddy is a piece of shit.
He does have legit mental problems, moderate bi-polar that they're treating, and knew he'd been kicked out by his mrs. There were rumours around our geoup that he'd hit his wife, and that was why he was kicked out.
However, I found out over the weekend that it wasn't a one off (not that a one off is justified anyway), but over an extended period of time he'd abused her pretty solidly. Apparently ranging from pretty violent to pinning her down and spitting in her face while yelling at her. This'd go for a week or two at a time, die down for 4-6 weeks then start again.

Given all my painting etc has been with him it's kind of killed my desire to keep going.

>>52269950

I start off by Infiltrating the Command Squad, Infantry Squad and the Conscripts. They'll form a defensive perimiter. Scouts are either put on objectives in my deployment zone or at another advantageous point. The Skitarii are placed relatively far up in my deployment zone. If the enemy deploys as close to the center as possible, my Skitarii can either Scout to cover or Scout back a bit so they don't get jumped right away.

Whirlwinds, Deredeo and the Devastators are held back but not TOO close to each other. Still within shooting distance so they can cover eachother and the rest.


If he goes first he'll definitely try and Deep Strike his Dreadnoughts to keep me busy. He'll probably go for my vehicles due to melta. Even if he gets down two models he'll not be able to get all my vehicles. His will die the next turn.

He'll probably try and jump over my Guardsmen but he can't really jump over them AND away from them. All my units will thus be able to shoot at them unless they lock themselves in melee with the Guardsmen. If he locks himself with the Guardsmen he's lost a few rounds already. If he jumps over them they'll get shot down then charged by Guardsmen or in worst case, Scouts.


If I go first however, it's basically the same story. I'd stay back and Deep Strike the Land Speeders. Even if he'd try and take my Speeders out with his Dreadnoughts, he's spending 400 pts to kill 100. His will be dead from Lascannons/Missiles/Autocannons next round anyway.

Why?

Anyone here have a Glaive tank? Looking at main weapons for my Mechanicum Manta, and I found that Chinaman sells just the Glaive turret, which works well. Does the turret come as one large part, or are the gun and/or capacitors separate?

Also, do Tau kits have spares as a rule? I also need 16 long-barreled burst cannon or something that works as them, and I'm wondering if the local Tau players might have a couple.

I'm not sure if they shoot at the dreads or drop pods, but yes. Still need LoS though which he might block by using creative deployment.

>>52270176
>>52270423
Also, you need to get your turn first to declare you're using the array that lets you intercept. This means his first one could drop free of fire if he goes first.

>>52270443
>goes first
Do BA have some Reserves shenanigans in play or am I wrong for thinking that reserves can't turn up Turn 1 without some kind of exceptional rule?

>>52270596
Drop pod assault brings in half of all drop pod units when their first turn begins, reat as normal. This happens with all loyal marine armies which is something you need to watch out for. On a semi-related note the blood angels do have a couple formations that let them start with a ton of units in reserve that start rolling turn one, as well a special character that lets them reroll reserve and +1 to stealing initiative.

Interceptor: "At the end of the enemy Movement phase, a weapon with the Interceptor special rule can be fired at any one unit that has arrived from Reserve within its range and line of sight. If this rule is used, the weapon cannot be fired in the next turn, but the firing model can shoot a different weapon if it has one."

So since the Dread+Drop Pod comes as a unit from reserve, I'm pretty sure I could fire at either.

>>52270443
You're right. Well, it's a bit of protection granted he fails rolling the other reserve (Warlord give -1 to enemy reserve roll)

Why does the Contemptor from GW look so bad?

It somehow looks like a cheap McDonald's toy, you know the ones that try to imitate "real" toys just to advertise and sell the genuine product.

Reading the Deldar codex now, I believe I deserve a handicap of +50% pts

He can mod his while I read

because the Dark Eldar and Harlequins are shit, which makes up for the ynnari being strong. CWE don't even need to bother with it

Is there any chance they're going to add sisters of silence type units to other armies?

With all the psychic shenanigans going on right now from most armies, how can non psychic ones or ones with only a bit of a psychic phase compete?

Your hq is way too beefy without a transport to get him anywhere of survive post DS shooting, while the court is useless but very fluffy. Other wise a decent list that could use a flyer to help it out.

>>52271327
Alright, got every character, weapon, rule etc written up, now I've just gotta wrap my head around the units and then formulate a plan

But hey, it's a learning experience

Is a termie + dreadnoughts list viable for GK?
