>>52344132
For you.

>>52344632
World Eaters.

>>52344632
Alpha Legion, they do spooky better than night lords, sneaky better than raven guard and decapitation better than Sons of Horus. Give them two weeks and six alpharii and the world will tear itself apart, no phosphex needed

If you mean destroyed in the sense of not even rubble left after being blasted so thoroughly, Ordo Reductor or Titan Maniples

>>52344632
Dark Angels Dredwing of course.

>>52344632
Death Guard and World Eaters, they were the go to legion to completely fuck everything up. Honorable mention to Space Wolves, who were basically World Eaters but with more restraint until unleashed.

Understandable due to the sad way psychic powers are handled.

I am interested in which legions are well designed but still retain their unique character.

Rules wise I really like the whole Istvan legions crew, most of their rules do not clutter up everything but manage to impair a lot of character.

Well...World Eaters do seem to need a bit of work due to all the extra stuff one seems to have to slap on them...most of it being traitor-ish.

>THW no Endryd Haar War hound squad.

Same with SoH extra attacks..its cool to roll for extra attacks though and reinforces to take lots of dudes so its flavory.

>>52344748
Yes, yes we can. Although we don't have squid flyers unless you count Magos Crazy Eyes' Genetors, the Vulturax look more buglike to me. I describe their ruleset to people who haven't played them before as"Tyranids, but shooty and done properly."

>>52344698
>If you mean destroyed in the sense of not even rubble left after being blasted so thoroughly, Ordo Reductor or Titan Maniples
Yeah, destroyed as in utterly broken.
>>52344693
I suppose WE count, as they have killed planets in melee like their milder loyalist counterparts, the Flesh Tearers
>>52344729
I was reading the SW Exemplary battle. A bit of a letdown, the usual "It was a difficult fight with Heavy CassualtiesTM but then their better Destroyer squads arrived and killed everything using their unique skill of being issued better bombs and saved the day"
Lame.
Also, everyone has more restraint than the WE, that's no accomplishment, and even then, the SW needed discipline officers when not even the Warhounds or Warborn needed them.
Space Wolves have always been a bunch of savages and furries.

>>52344782

You know that's false.
When the AL trains to be good at lots of stuff
>A
Other legions train to be BEYOND GOOD at a particular thing, like shooting (IF) or chopping (WE)
>B
Non-conscious training exists, like hypnotherapy and the like. Inb4 "bullshit", that's how IH are briefed for their mission in 40k
>C
It's probably selected operatives and battlegroups rather than 2LOLEVERYONE, but you just bought the meme
Just as planned
You see it's not about being the best at everything, you just need to be better than the one you're fighting at a particular thing you need to, that's all.

>>52344845
Same with WE only they are also the greatest choppas in the Imperium and crazy

And yet in Praetorian Of Dorn the AL dudes consistently outshoot the IF ones, generally getting noscope headshots while the fists fail to gun them down in return. While the AL are also simultaneously experts in sneaky beaking. I guess the IF centurion did manage to kill the AL sergeant in a fight, although it was a close thing.

>>52345025

Fact: If the Custodes fighting at the Webway had been equipped with White Scar Glaives, the Emperor would still walk among men, Navigators Houses would have been destroyed and their genesamples been stored, and mankind would be traveling the stars through the Imperial SubWay

Is the thunderhawk transport gone from FW store?

>>52345387
Yeah it was out of stock for a long time and just disappeared entirely some time ago.

>>52345410
That's probably because no one ever paid £400 to move their Land Raiders slightly faster.

>>52345435
After googling that, that's solved my problem on how to model an Arvus modified for dropping Vorax. You could make clamps like that with Dunecrawler legs, really.

>>52345435
It's rules are a by product of a long gone age. I doubt most people who bought Thunderhawks of any kind took them to the table more than twice. It appealed to me since it was the direct link between my Marines getting to the ground prior to deployment but I couldn't afford one when it was around.

>>52345458
Perhaps the Valkyrie Skytalon would be useful as a base as well. However, it's currently Sold Out.

This is a bit odd. What, have they tried to purge all the aircraft? Damn. I suspect that'll be a back-burner project anyway, I have plenty of other shit to build before I can start on my notebooks of mental ideas.

>>52345699

Filled the worst of some gaps in my Knight, didn't get them all but I deemed my new and useless greenstuff skill was a greater risk to the build than a small gap below the head that's going to be way away from line of sight and partially obstructed by an armour panel. Now to make the exhausts.

>>52345756
it's Kingsley or nothing as far as FW is concerned. Wonder if Azhek and the other TS look like meme characters.

>>52345826
Telepathy most likely, but depends heavily on other factors. I think him being used as discount ahriman isn't bad.

If he's my only psyker ic, I think divination is best so he hangs back safe and just buffs. If he has Magnus, chaplain or punchy praetor in partnership, I think telepathy is the way to go for either invisibility or fear.

>>52345992
I am tempted to use him due to him having two cult arcana, not gaining the corvidae bonus in the axis of drstruction hurts.

No, as in, Horus and Sanguinius were pretty close. Horus even tells to him he thinks Sanguinius should have been Warmaster, but Sangy reassures him.
Horus also finds out by sneaking in full terminator armour about the Red Thirst as he witnesses Sangy killing one of his own children, and they swear an oath of secrecy.
Horus then tells Sang he found a way to defead the Red Thirst.
"It's conveniently located in Signus", he said.

I mean let's be honest with ourselves, the second you take anything bigger than a Warhound the entire game goes wonky. Anon is right not to even bother. Even if I had 5000 points of standard infantry I wouldn't even bother fighting a regular Warlord.

As for his bananas, they seem weirdly vicious? Lots of anti tank and it's an entire army that will deep strike down to the last model if desired. I could imagine cutting everything down to 5-6 models per squad and then loading them all up in Coronus Grav Carriers for some extra scary shit.

I mean it's a serious debate if you'd rather run essentially 3 more bodies per squad in an army that already suffers from a lack of bodies. It deepstriking everything there seems like little point in running many Grav Carriers, but the option to throw so many tanks out is wildly appealing.

What sisters unit is best to add as cheapo chaff to buff up a Custodes list?

I've only listened to a couple of audio dramas so I don't know what to compare it to, but I was impressed by the production values. It's a good story too, much more political than most. Not much action. I don't think "Brexit with titans" describes it very well unless the Brexit negotiations turn upside-down and the UK not only rejoins the EU but also gives up the pound and renames itself "Adeptus Britanicus".

Well I've started down the steep slope falling into 30k. I've built a small 1ksons 40k force before the new supplement/inferno and want to transition into 30k proper. Most of my group plays at the 3k points level, and while I may not have many models yet, I can potentially splurge on enough points to fill out 2.25k without upgrades, and 3k if I take some of the more expensive unit upgrades.

I have:
Ahriman
Praetor
30 bolter marines
15 unbuilt tartaros terminators
3 rhinos
2 predators (tri lascannon, but will probably kitbash the turret to a plasma gun)
Land Raider Phobos (unbuilt)
Contemptor with volkite and power fist


What else should I get? I think I'm lacking on anti-tank capability, but I want to stick more to the fun stuff than dominate the table.

Maybe one or two of the robots?

Lastly which is the better option for a corvidae tactical support squad? Asphyx rotor cannons? Or volkite calivers?

True, I was thinking of that FW email that said they could take anything, so I was imagining a pimped-out golden Stormlord with some of the eagles from the Wall of Martyrs used as decoration and for a pimp Dozer Blade carrying all the squishy spearmen into Assault Transport range. I would avoid the tonk if they can't take them at 10, because running in with only 50-ish bodies at that point level is a little suicidal, and they can deepstrike.
I think Custodes get weaker as the points increase and more counters to them come online, until they fill their entire Force Org and take a small allied detatchment to reach 13K and drop the immortal Titan of all-destroying. Even then, if they don't take T1 they can expect to lose most of the half army they deployed to concentratred fire.

Hey /HHG/ what daemons would you add to a fluffy Calth themed Word Bearers army leadered by uncle Zardu Layak?

>>52348574
I would add khorne daemons simply because the colour schemes match. I'll admit that's not the best reason however.

>>52348574
Slaanesh or Tzeentch, both have some sort of blue tint to their main colors so its a nice contrast to the WB red/black and it seems fitting that both gods would revel in a betrayal of that scale and depending on your list they both add speedier elements than what the legions can have most of the time.

Honestly one of the best things I've seen that can be done with them is giving them Questoris Knight allies for plenty of heavy anti-tank abilities. I have 4 Knights at 1750 total and even then I realize that gives them a substantial shot at survivability. Lore shows them with Stormbirds and Thunderhawks, so I don't think anyone would have a problem with a Custodes player taking one for extra punch with some assault.

I would definitely take a trio of Turbo Laser Thunderhawks if possible to really help out the immediate landing and assault ramp perks.

Other than that, invest in fortifications and plenty of field obstacles before approaching a Warlord. Even a Reaver or so it fantastic.

Remember back when the Emperor was able to power and direct the Astronomicon even when He was lightyears from Terra and without the sacrifice of a single psyker life? And the Magnus broke it? Good times, yeah.

>>52349779
Can't speak for the other guy, but I'm avoiding it because a Warlord basically invalidates anything the opponent has that isn't a Titan itself. It goes from "Custodes (or Mechanicum, or Legiones, or whatever) with cool toys" to "Warlord, with some golden pointsinks to unlock it." I don't know of any way to counter it for less than it costs, other than lining up four Venators and two Cerberus under void shields.

Odd, since the Reaver, Manta and anything else is at least killable. Warlord just has so much health it goes above any regular army's capacity to realistically damage, even tailored. It's not support, it's Your Sole Dude and everyone else is worthless.

>>52349836
It would be years, even millenia for the webway to become human friendly enough to stop using the warp. First you need to clean the demons, map the routes in a labyrinth dimension that even the Eldar have forgotten about and then remove the Eldar from it, even after all that is done you'd still need some sort psychic powerhouse to keep the webway open because the Imperium doesnt really know how it works.

It's been suggested that the point of the Golden Throne isn't related to the Astronomicon, but just to control the Webway. After Magnus broke it, someone had to sit on it to keep the deamons out (either the Emperor or, temporarily, Malcador).

If Magnus hadn't broken it, he'd be sitting on it as a gatekeeper. The Webway's original protections would still be intact so daemons wouldn't (normally) be a problem, but you'd still need a gatekeeper to prevent unauthorized access straight into the throne room on Terra and things like that.

>>52350893
>So did he just have dual personality disorder or something?
He certainly developed a disorder in a duel.

>>52350872
Yeah. Magnus' role was to control the Golden Throne; it acted as a psychic beacon and is what is truly considered the Astronomicon. It helped control the stability of the webway gate below the palace while simultaneously acting as a warp beacon because of the power coursing through it. Magnus being on it would be a much stronger guide point than how the Emperor is on it now in his decayed state.

Had everything worked according to the Big E's plan, Magnus would be one of his favored creations protecting humanity from the dark influences of the warp while he was continually leading humanity across the stars in what he was supposed to be the continual Crusade past the known stars we have now.

>>52350899
Each to their own I guess. The IW are a great contrast to the depraved and corrupt EC, that's one of the best parts about the book.

So, if other legions besides WB get access to daemon allies, it wouldn't be that far fetched to paint a DP's armour in the colours of the legion, as if he was a member of the legion before he became a DP.

>>52350617
The Path of Heaven is up there. It's further into the story (a direct sequel to Scars) so it's not a book I'd recommend to someone new to the universe, but I think it might be a slightly stronger book.

Scars is good but not on that level. You can tell it was released in an episodic format. The two books do continue the story of the White Scars stormseer who was at Nikea, and turn him from a "ching chong" charicature to one of the best BL characters so far.

>>52350872
>>52350927
Wrong you two.
You neglect the fact that an ENTIRE WEBWAY NETWORK was going to be the end product, Mankind's need for warp travel greatly diminished as the superluminic communication would rely on ships carrying messages through the webway rather than psychically screaming across space.
Multiple Webway Gates mean there wouldn't be enough Magnuses out there to power and control them. That task would fall on the host planets' psychic chorus.

The Filiketos is a crazy project of mine, the centrepiece of my Genetor Mechanicum army. Gone through a few iterations, but it started when I noticed that there's a box in the Mechanicum book that lets you take an assortment of toys from FW books like Imperial Armour, and that the "Superheavy flyer" section didn't link to the restrictions box, so you can take ANY SHF as a Mech LoW.
I read the Leviathan books a week later, and decided to make a counts-as Stormbird out of a display model of a humpback whale, like a gunship variant of pic related. That fell through after a couple weeks when I couldn't get the right model to ship to the UK for less than £165.

It resurfaced as a Tau Manta counts-as after I realised that's a much easier shape to imitate and can carry my entire army easily. Long story short, there's now two Glaive turrets and three Leviathan Storm Cannon OTW from China to arm the thing, while I figure out what kits to buy to make the top deck and scrounge enough heavy bolters to make all the Burst Cannon. Going to be a fun build.

>>52351018
No, there wouldn't be psychic choruses. Psykers wouldn't become astropaths anymore, they'd be killed along with the navigators. I have a feeling Magnus would have to control a lot of nodes besides the one on Terra.

>>52351069
I asked for help naming it, and despite saying I wasn't looking for dubs an anon came up with the Filiketos, which was a good name that fits well with all the other Mech stuff and is nice to say, even if he hadn't got a hex of 6s. Slaneesh approves, apparently.

Slightly worried that people are referring to it without me talking about the plans occasionally, now. Even very slight expectation of competence from me is a tad scary. Also I keep having more ideas about shit to bolt onto it, so it's on something like version 2.6 now.

>>52350949

>>52351110

Do you see the fucking Harlequins requiring astropaths? No, because its the fucking webway which operates by its own psyker rules - one of which is to know where you're going, and the other is to know how to create your own webway lanes. The Emperor clearly wanted a human webway and clearly knew how to create webway lanes so that (A) Chaos can fuck off (B) Eldar can fuck off (C) the entire goddamn galaxy can just fuck off while humanity proceeds to create a new realm where mankind is its own God.

>>52351110
The Emperor hints at the lack of psychic beings besides him and a handful of others in his endgame plan, in Master of Mankind.

He has faith in humanity but sees most normal Psykers as very dangerous unless they've been trained so incredibly extensively that they make Ahriman blush.

The webway nodes were to be controlled via Magnus and a select few others with nothing more. The massive webway channeling was going to use extensive AdMech tech worked into the Eldar tech left behind and slowly refined over time

>>52351210
>Do you see the fucking Harlequins requiring astropaths? No, because its the fucking webway which operates by its own psyker rules
Fine! Then the theory that Magnus' destiny was to sit on that thing (which by the way was FUCKING TZEENTCH showing Magnus the Emperor and saying it was him) holds even less weight!
Also, the Webway is already done, Emps only needed to clear the rabble in it and pave it gold for human use.

Do you even understand what the Golden Throne does?

Do you even understand what you're suggesting? What is the point of moving into a broken house when everyone in the neighborhood already knows all the doors and ways to get into the house? The point was to create a new human webway, not to just take over the xeno webway which was already falling apart.

It wasn't actually finished at all. There were lots of horrible dead ends where reality ended, pockets that took you to Craftworlds, etc.

The Emperor was in the process of building a new foundation for it and was doing well until Chaos fucked it up. Magnus was tricked into severely botching it

You ought to kill everyone in the neighborhood first. You don't Xenocidal Great Crusade?

>The point was to create a new human webway, not to just take over the xeno webway which was already falling apart.
Listen, if such a thing is possible then by all means create a new one instead...BUT IS IT POSSIBLE?
Not even the Eldar themselves can do it, they're using the remains built by the Old Ones, the Webway heals itself but sometimes it just collapses, and Eldar can't do shit about it, other than not fuck things up more than they already are and use psychic powers inside it.

>>52351375

Your citation can be found in every Eldar codex that mentions harlequins. But glad to see you take the idea of education as just some game.

>>52351375
It's assumed it's him, Magnus, Malcador, and a few other Primarchs that were attuned to his will and psychic energies more than others. It's mentioned offhand a few times that Magnus was supposed to be "the first of a few chosen" in that regard.

>>52351376

>Whaaat? But I just literally said that's the mistake people commit, by thinking that was Magnus' destiny when it obviously isnt'. Did I use the wrong words or something?
His role was to sit on the Golden Throne was to be a stabilizing pillar of humanity in propping up a new foundation for a realm which would free all humankind of the horrors of both Materium and Immaterium. The Emperor can sit on it but He has big boy things to do, and Malcador can only sit on it for 20 minutes max. That leaves the 2nd most powerful psyker in the Imperium circa 30k to do the job of being only the second most important person in all of mankind.

There, properly explained for you.

>You ought to kill everyone in the neighborhood first. You don't Xenocidal Great Crusade?
The neighborhood is the Materium. It is all of existence in the material galaxy. There is no exterminating eternity. The Emperor's wisdom would have led humanity into the webway where a new core realm would exist, without flaws or weak points like Commorragh.

>Listen, if such a thing is possible then by all means create a new one instead...BUT IS IT POSSIBLE?

The Emperor did not just magically shit a webway in the Throne Room. It was constructed in the safest place in the entire Imperium.

>Not even the Eldar themselves can do it, they're using the remains built by the Old Ones, the Webway heals itself but sometimes it just collapses, and Eldar can't do shit about it, other than not fuck things up more than they already are and use psychic powers inside it.

Ahriman stole the knowledge of webway lane creation from the Black Library. That alone implies at least that the Aeldari knew of how. But neither the Aeldari of then nor the Harlequins of now care to master it.

>>52351403
I have to say that while I have read quite a few Eldar codexes in my time, the bit where the Emperor's plan was to just take all the psykers behind the shed and empty both barrels into the backs of their heads wasn't one that caught my eye.

>>52351556

I doubt you've read any codices in your life. You questioned the simplest deduction that mutants who were necessary for warp travel would be eliminated in an era where warp travel was no longer required. You have no idea how a webway works. That explanation is in any Eldar codex still commercially available. You have no idea why astropaths even exist in the Imperium. That explanation is in the lore section of your rulebook (assuming you even own one). Do you even know astropaths are just legally sanctioned mutants? The Emperor has a long history of eliminating humanoid mutants which are no longer tolerated. And that explanation is filed under any Horus Heresy FW book pertaining to articles involving the Thunder Warriors.

But no, you're just going to sit there and >>greenpost.

And I know why, even though I never want to believe it. Its because most of /tg/ doesn't actually read a book.

So, Magnus can power the entire network from a single location? And most of all, you'd entrust that duty to a single individual?
I'm not at ease with such a plan, but if it works it works.
Is there not a future where Primarchs and the Emperor Himself are not needed? Not in 100000 years? Warhammer 100k?
I mean, No one and Nothing is powering the Eldar's Webway, yet it still exists. Perhaps, after the Mechanicum finish building the Imperial Webway, no one will be needed to sit on any chair at all.
Wouldn't that be nice?

>The neighborhood is in the materium

Dude, Perturabo and his legion are already "Victims of Circumstance, the soap opera" since Book 3, without any aid from BL

>>52351745
>>52351783
Depth of character discussion aside, Pertuarbo gets jerked off by the author harder in that book that any of the other primarch appearances, but nobody ever seems to notice or remember which is thematic I guess

>>52351691
>>52351783
I didn't get a victim of circumstance vibe about Perty in Angel Exterminatus. In fact there's not that much in the book about why he actually turned traitor, unlike something like Betrayer which is largely about why Angron turned.

>>52351834
Srry, what do you mean by "jerked off"? Because if it's the way he's written so cool in "Magnus: Master of Prosp- Perturabo, this isn't your fucking book, it's mine!", then ugh no, cease and desist.

As long as it's no Manchild Perturabo either, it'd be fine. Then again, that implies moderation can exist in BL writings.

>>52351870
>Because if it's the way he's written so cool in "Magnus: Master of Prosp- Perturabo, this isn't your fucking book, it's mine!", then ugh no, cease and desist.
It's exactly the same way. It goes beyond other characters being awed by him and him just doing cool stuff, to the author basically cumming all over the page in what should just be third-person narrative.

Dammit anon, you and your Fate spinoff explanation now mean every time I read "BL" it means Boy's Love. You ruined an already shitty thing for me.
You know who you are. I want to get off this slippery slope

>>52351726

>So, Magnus can power the entire network from a single location?
His role would be akin to being the project manager of the highway construction project. He would be calling the shots on how its supposed to function and look and be responsible for its general functionality, under specifications from his boss (the Emperor). The other psychically attuned Primarchs who would be tasked to assist would be more like on-site directors and project coordinators. Of course, the Emperor never got that far so we don't know for sure exactly how He would have run the construction project.

>And most of all, you'd entrust that duty to a single individual? I'm not at ease with such a plan, but if it works it works.
The Emperor, for all His slights and errors, is still smarter than you. Do not question the Emperor's wisdom.

>Is there not a future where Primarchs and the Emperor Himself are not needed? Not in 100000 years? Warhammer 100k?
That future would have been the Emperor's vision of 40k, where the cradle of humankind would be entirely safe in the webway.

>I mean, No one and Nothing is powering the Eldar's Webway, yet it still exists.
It's falling apart. The Immaterium is leaking into it. Thats how bad it has become. This reality necessitates the creation of new webway lanes for humanity's use.

>I was talking mainly about the Dark Eldar...but I suppose the Imperials didn't know they were there, right?
The Dark Eldar are fucking nothing in 30k, lower than Eldar corsairs. They were probably starving because of how efficiently defended and managed the Imperium was in 30k.

>I thought the weakpoint was already there and all the Emperor do was to break into it in a controlled form. Opened a window to something that was already there.
That would imply that its a crack in a window. It's not, its a door and its been a door for 10k years by the time of m42.

Legal but kinda crappy. Better is twin Kheres, ran as a Contemptor Mortis.

If you aren't gonna go Mortis, stick to having a fist.

Oh and major negative points for not cutting and reposing the legs and waist. Plastic Contemptor is only okay if you're going to go to the effort of converting it to a more dynamic stance.

How viable is an IF list with all the troop sloots filled with terminators? I really dislike their RoWs so I'm going to be using a different FoC.

>>52351895

>>52351769

Its kind of pointless. The range advantage of the assault cannon is cancelled out by the multi-melta's max range. It doesn't do melee well, but the multi-melta will require it to get into close range. Its not even a legal Mortis. Its just silly.

Tip for reposing: The knees are more effort to cut and pose than is really worthwhile. Instead, just twist the waist a fraction to suggest body language, put the legs into more of a stance then use a scenic base to have the feet touch the ground. I used crates from the sector Imperialis basing kit for mine. Pic related is an old progress shot I was able to dig out of my phone.

Oh and drill the smokestacks! Pretty much every other dreadnought model in existence has them come with the hole already there.

>>52352108
On the page, it was only the officers who went into the Laer fucktemple that got first hand biological / mental corruption.
The rest of the legion became corrupted by a combination of the EC's 'follow your officer in all things' mentality and taking on combat drugs made from Laer stuff and being implanted with Fabius' organs, which in part inspired by and patterned after Laer organs.

Probably. Your best bet is standard Space Marine powerfists in some good posing and not ones found on most boxes. If you want a really intense one, you could always use the bigass Blood Angel one for a very ancient look, but basically the FW and GW loyalist power armor options are your friend.

it's such a bummer that the coolest custodes models so far have the worst rules. deathwatch have assault 3 heavy bolter combi weapon heavy flamers, why can't the motherfucking custodes have an assault 3 heavy bolter? shit doesn't even look like a heavy weapon in their hands anyway.

>>52352906
Honestly the rules don't reflect their model and fluff well at all.

The main gun needs to be 36" S5 AP4 Assault 3 Rending to make them viable and the Adrathic part can stay the way it is.

>>52352576
The Shield Captain can have dual talons my dude

>>52352994
They really ought to have a -1 to enemy cover saves thing as well, similar to Iron Havocs. Their fluff is that they're the sentries on the walls of Terra, and have impeccable skills of aim and observation. Their rules literally do not reflect that at all. They don't even have any special rules outside of the standard set that all Custodes get.

>>52353070
Yeah, that would make them actually good, or at least good enough. They're still in Heavy Support, so they HAVE to be good in order to want to bring them over a tank. They're not like Devastators/Heavy Support Squads where it's a cheaper way to bring a lot of heavy weapons... it's actually more expensive and you don't have any options.

>>52353070
Don't know how I feel about 36" range Assault weapons on infantry.

>>52353114
What about infantry that have universal Relentless? Because we have that already, and some of their guns are long range.

Bolterstodes are 65 points a pop, they have to be worth a damn or there's no point. As it stands they're literally just glorified heavy bolter iron havocs with half as many guns per squad but a really scary 12" if for some bizarre reason something decides it wants to be in range of that.

>>52353139
As a Custodes player I honestly have only three options:

A: Gunline them and realistically never use their secondary weapon.

B: Deepstrike them in to fire their Adrathic gear and expect them to die next turn.

C: Dump them in a Coronus and have them pop out to fire their Adrathic weapons before another squad charges. Will more than likely not be able to fire their normal gun profile in favor of Adrathic gear.

Something really needs to change.

I'm certain even regular Spear Custodes are above anything space marines can train to do, and can aim as such, but they don't need Ignores Cover.

>>52353139
>What about infantry that have universal Relentless?

Terminators are designed to be stable firing platforms, other such units usually have some explanation as to why they're able to fire heavy weapons effectively. Assault weapons are usually quick firing weapons for short to medium range engagements, hosing down the opponents with a hail of bullets on the move or softening them up before a charge. A gun like that doesn't feel like something you use at heavy machine gun ranges. Especially as a handheld firearm.

>Bolterstodes are 65 points a pop, they have to be worth a damn or there's no point.

So make them cheaper or make them better with shorter ranges. Or less effective at long ranges compared to short (Salvo). Remember, they can have transports and deep strike, they're not hurting for when it comes to getting close to the enemy.

Would a Mk8 torso work as artificer armor?
