They can only fire in their selected arc at the nearest visible thing in range. If nothing is visible, they can't shoot. If nothing is in range, they can't shoot. If everything is sitting behind them, they can't shoot.

>It's Chaos

Dammit, I really liked the aesthetics of it too, was hoping it might've been admech or a unit easily battlebrothered by Skitarii.

Should Tau saturate their forces with markerlights? That is to say, it takes 2 markerlights to bring a standard Tau BS3 up to BS5 (diminishing returns past there), thus "maximum efficient markerlights" would mean bringing enough MLs to have all your forces at BS5 as often as possible. As an example, Pathfinders produce roughly half as many MLs as they have men each round they get to fire, so a group of 5 will fairly consistently produce 2 MLs, which is enough to supply another unit. Is it important that every damage unit be coupled with a sufficient source of MLs? Do you take even more MLs for that for when some are inevitably killed? Or do you take less?

Essentially, what is the proper ratio of ML-units to non-ML units?

>>52400783
What if Cawl is an aedari robutt?

You don't need quite that many, as there are times when a unit needs to reposition rather than shoot outright. I would say it is better to aim for around a third. Have the ability to have half your army boosted to BS 5, or all of it to BS 4, outside of other uses.

Obviously this won't go perfectly, so from there its a matter of which units need markerlights the most.

The Grand Pappy of the Chapter that never fails comes back from the dead and basically goes "Look at me, I am the Emperor now." and the whole of the Imperium has to suck it up and answer to him. Pretty sure I don't want the guys who answer solely to the Emperor answering to old blueberry because he happens to also have been hand made by the Emperor.

>>52400852
Flip it in order to have the blade and the gun near them, reload, done. We're talking about litteraly the best warriors humanity has to offer.

Otherwise, they have their ades accompanying them in battle, so they throw they spear to them, plant it on the ground or whatever, use their smaller swords and continue their advance. When the spear is reloaded, it's thrown to them and they're good to go.

>>52400572

I wanted to buy into Deldar when they were released in 5th edition. 27n but I didn't have the money. Now that I do, I just sort of pulled the trigger on a SC and some wyches, the succubus, and the venom. Then I got another SC and the Scourges on a whim for a good discount, and then I bought a lot with the rest.

I like Deldar because they're basically cartoon villains, but I also like Wyches and the idea of them treating the battlefield like a big arena match.

>>52400573
Thanks. Finding motivation is hard, and keeping it is harder.

>>52400868
Well, maybe we can try and keep up progress reports or something. I have a friend just getting back into the game and he's super excited, which I'm trying to channel into this pile.

I want to build a game board that can fit over my kitchen table. I live in a small apartment and not sure if I can fit a full 4x6' table how terrible would it be if my table was 3.5' x 6' and the deployment areas were 9'' instead of a full foot?

>>52400798
A pathfinder is 11 pts. BS 3 means they hit half the time, so 2 pathfinders for 22 pts will give you +1 BS to any other unit. Imagine if fire warriors or crisis suits cost 44 points extra.
For 13 pts a model you can take marker drones. Slightly more expensive but more mobile. Downside is nonscoring, lower BS, and doesn't contribute a real gun. A pathfinder can still shoot his carbine or sit on an objective.

You'd probably be better off only using 3.t by 5. In my experience, using a table that's the proper length but too narrow has things get really win my with certain deployment types. Shortening zones to 9 inches will help with that

>>52401086
It'd be better to take the space from the deployment zone. Technically, you're supposed to measure from the center of the board. On something 4 feet across, you measure a foot from the center, leaving both players with a 12" zone. Do this with 3 feet and 6 inches, and you're left with 9 apiece.

Similarly, for a 6 foot board, you measure 2 feet from the center to give each player 12 left. To keep things even for longer deployments, you'd want to cut it down to 5.5 for a similar result.

The important part is distance from your opponent's deployment zone.

Why are Orkz considered bad? I understand that they might be bad at a competitive level, but on a casual level they seem fine. I casually played against an Ork player for years and only beat him once, though that was before formations were a thing. A shitload of bodies running across the table to drown a squad in attacks, mixed with huge volumes of fire seems pretty decent to me, he trounced my Salamanders handily most of the time.

>>52400358
I hate Eternal Crusade for being such wasted potential. Playing it right now, and there's a decent core of a game, not revolutionary or fantastic, but decent. But it's surrounded by a shell of dumb shit like races for stun-locks, constantly sending me to fucking Frankfurt for servers, and the lack of ability (so far as I can find) to choose a map or game type.

In fact, I can't seem to even find a list of map or gametypes because the main website has only the simplest of basics about the game and the wikia and 1d4chan are so out of date that I assume they haven't been updated since 2014. The wikia still has a page on faction war commands. And googlefu has failed me to get anymore than those two website, and forum posts about the game, but on unrelated topics.

>>52401300
I might mention that we usually only played a slugfest style game, just fighting to see who could survive by the end of turn 5. He usually tabled me every game, or left me with only a small handful of models. I realize not playing with Objectives probably factors into this somewhat.

I do really like the yncarne too so I am adding that to my list.

If you go to the faction war map, you can zoom in and see ongoing matches and their gametype.

EC's failure to capitalize on the big 40k shooter aesthetic has really disappointed me. I was rooting for them for a long time.

>>52401300
Ballistic skill 2 across almost the entire army means that what looks like an impressive amount of firepower in theory falls flat in practice. They'll struggle to do as much damage as marines in shooting. Once in melee, they're reliant on volume of attacks. They can't get power weapons aside from power fists, and no matter what their enemy will probably swing first. This means they will almost always take damage before they can swing on the charge. The lack of armor also lowers their odds of survival, which in turn means they're more likely to fail their low leadership.

Im rather surprised he was able to do so well against you, especially since you'd certainly have a lot of flamers to burn his boys and meltaguns to delete transports.

>>52401307

>>52401345
>because eldar stuff is so good its hard not to pick it.

This is precisely why I refuse to go Ynnari. There's already an entire Codex with better options in every single way, but they're separate. Now with Ynnari, there is zero reason in terms of crunch why you a should take anything but a WWP from deldar. Maybe Reavers because they're a different slot than wind riders.

We would play 1500-2000 point games. He would have maybe a Trukk or two, maybe a Battlewagon. Always brought Kans. He would always outnumbered me 3+ to 1, with maxed out Boyz squads.

>>52401370
That's what I thought too. No matter what I brought, he always had an answer for it, and his rolls were always exceptionally good. I never ONCE swept him or deleted a unit in the shooting phase, no matter how much I focused it.

We once fought a 1000 point game, and his Big Mek killed himself and his entire squad of Lootas when his SAG failed, very first round of the game, losing him over 1/3rd of his army in points. He just ran his Boyz forward and murdered my army, no problem. It was the most frustrating thing. I don't think Orkz (or any Codex, for that matter) should just job to Marines, but for fucks sake, they're just Boyz and they wouldn't die.

I'm pretty sure he cheated with movement, giving himself extra inches and being super generous with assault participation, all 30 Boyz routinely got to help in an assault.

You aren't supposed to take 1d4chan seriously, you dolt. You are exactly the reason why newbies shouldn't be told to get their lore straight from 1d4chan or TTS.

>>52401553
I'm getting that impression as well. With boyz being 6 points base, and the other stuff he brought, him having you outnumbered 3 or more to 1 just isn't feasible from a points perspective. 2 to 1 is doable, but if he was ever gettig 4x your number without you going heavy on expensive weapons and upgrades.

Never failing morale is also strange, if his rolls were that unusually good. It all adds up to be very sketchy.

Thing is though, if even with all of that he's still barely winning kill points, I think you could see why Orks are weak.

Skip the trunk boyz. Take that special character war boss from forgeworld that lets you get bike troops. Get Meganobz in Trukks for anti-tank, and Mek guns for fire support.

Why do Eldar have so many S:D weapons?

Not quite. I bought a SC, Venom, and box of wyches when I pulled the trigger. The second SC and Scourges came later, which was before the AA boxes came out. Then, I bought a lot with the raiders, kabalites, and second box of wyches.

>>52401659
I find that's it's way better to run squads of naked boyz than put them in trukks, footslog them up the table in front of things as cover.

They're too worthless for the enemy to bother with but at the same time you can use them to slog things up.

The one time we played Objectives, I won handily because I played to get the Objectives, and of course he didn't want to play that game mode again.

I can see why they are weak competitively, but for casual play (and especially against new players like I was at the time) I can see how they would be a strong foe. We'll see how 8th Ed. treats them. Thanks for your input, friendly anon.

What's your favorite fluffy list that you run? Is your store WAAC or do your meta just take models/units you enjoy?

>>52400511

Even the EM4 gangers are more than that (only barely, but still).

Best bet for really cheap figures which still look OK is to get some of the Warlord games historicals (their woodland indians look fairly useable as chaos cultists) and try to cobble together some autopistols from styrene tube or something.

I am currently working on this list (my first) which will probably take some more time, but I am already thinking about expanding it with some more mechanicus units and mainly Cawl.
Which would allow me to take Grand Convocation which gives vehicles PotMS.
This got me thinking about building squadron of Onager Dunecrawlers (2 or 3) with mixed weapons, probably Neutron Laser and Icarus Array, getting that invlun and PotMS from Dominus/Cawl who will stay with them. Now sqaudron has to shoot same target, but PotMS allows model to shoot at different targets (one could even take those heavy stubbers to fire them at primary and then fire main weapon at whatever). But does this really work this way?

>>52401871
I have that same problem, but with a Tau player. My games are basically just me removing large numbers of models from my side well he sits in the back and say "Muh tactics, muh art of war".

>>52401675
Then think of writing a list like putting together a case, where you have a plan for everything that happens, and only take actions where you know the end result.

A lot of the guys at my store are pretty WAAC, though I have a small friend group that goes for more fluffy and casual games.

I'd say the most fluff-centric of all my armies is my Urban Stealth Tau cadre. Mostly infantry and stealth suits, working undersupplied on the fringes of Tau space.

>>52401873
A marines reliant army and good at CC against horde armies.
Tyberos with a squad of LC termies.
Some scouts, a few tactical squads meant for close combat so with additional CCW and drop pods. A squad with rhino.
Jump squads and Devastators, 1 grav and 1 heavy bolter squads, rhinos or drop pods depending on situation.

Then, a dreadnought or Predator.

Thinking of adding a stromraven to transport some assault units, maybe veterans.

Games againt hordes armies like Orks and Nids are an absolute blast.

>>52401992
I thought you could use it if it was in print.

>>52401992
IA13 isn't legal? The Vraks supplement?

>>52401901
yeah that's how it would work. You just gotta be careful about squadding all your onagers since that 48" range gets pretty small on a full table.

also dominus maniple is ONE AND ONLY ONE onager, not one unit of onagers, bear that in mind. And a character can't join a vehicle unit.

also you have too many goodies on those troops. the tasers especially don't help at all if the vanguard get charged by assault marines or termies, the squad will get wiped 9 times out of 10.

>>52401929
...no

>>52402098
it's not in print anymore.

>>52402180
It's still for sale on the Forge World website.

>>52402132
Yeah, I know about the rule of one Onager, I don't think that I will be using dominus maniple in bigger army, especially wit the possibility of grand convocation (meaning no tax Cataphrons, even though I will probably get one unit just for the model).

But happy to hear that it is possible to to create mixed unit. I would really like to have 3, with one with template, one anti-tank and their AA protection in form of Icarus. But I am aware that it will be kind of constricting on the table.

Are the Frozen Stars the best Masque or what?

Why would anyone find an Eldar attractive? They look bad, they smell bad and hate you for not being an Eldar. Their skin has this sickly texture and color to it and they have these weird, elongated skulls that make them look like talking bananas. Then you have the ugly eyes that look like someone tried to draw a chinese person anime style and fucked up massively. And most of their 'women' are traps and are taller than you. Who the fuck wants to fuck a woman taller than you?There is literally no excuse for this other than furfaggotry and zoophilia.

Never use art stuff on minis without doing a lot of research, testing, and already having experience to know what your doing.

If you are ever holding anything not specialized for mini models and ask yourself if it can be used, put it down because you lack the necessary experience and knowledge.

Gesso is a surface preparer for crap like stone, wood, or some canvases. Mini model paints already have the medium mixed in to adhere to metal and plastic.

Go to the wip thread and read the tutorials in the op and ask your questions there.

I tried to play pure Inquisition for a year or so... it didn't really work very well. The inquisition codex/the Inq stuff from Codex: Imperial Agents is cool, and includes some neat toys, but it also has some glaring holes, tactically.

Must as I tried to resist it, GWs push towards Inquisitors being an exclusively allied force is kind of the best way to approach it.

So, you start an inquisition army by working out what other faction they've ordered to be their flunkies

>>52402884
that one acolyte with a hotshot lasgun? swap it for ANY weapon that isn't rapid fire. Currently he can't fire if you want to charge, and invalidates the rest of the unit if he fires

Also, the Inquisition bit needs a transport. They're all melee/short-ranged, and will die before they make it across the board.

Also the fact that they miss out on one of their attacks. Having 4 WS4 S4 attacks on the charge is really good for a Troops choice, especially since they need all the attacks they can get after Overwatch and/or being hit first.

Shoota boys don't have a close combat weapon, which is really weird for Orks given their obsessions.

Henchman squad with:

6 x Crusaders
2 x Servitors

DT Land Raider Crusader with Multi-melta and Psybolt ammo

the unit was HORRIBLY expensive (605 points), and tended to attract a LOT of fire at the LR, but it could beat nearly anything to death.

Okay there are three types of attacks, fast, heavy and defensive bash. Defensive stuns fast, fast stuns heavy, heavy stuns bash. Same attacks clash with higher impact weapon winning, clash too many times with the weaker weapon (2-3 times) and your weapon is disabled plus you get stunned.

Hey are there any daemon players around that could share their Herald/Prince/Greater Daemon setups?
A big part of the army seems to be your HQ choices but I'm not really sure how to make effective ones for their cost, they always feel overcosted or like i didnt upgrade them enough.

I was thinking that I like wych cult fluff? I like the idea that they treat battlegrounds like a big arena fight and how the wych cults hold power and influence in a different way to the kabals.

I even fluffed it out with ideas from the random Kabal table 1d4chan has.

So why is it that Tau plasma weapons don't have Gets Hot but Imperial/Chaos one's do? I understand the "superior tech" angle in fluff, but rules wise isn't the point of plasma that it gives you the ability to kill heavy infantry at a low points with the downside of possibly killing yourself?

RANT INCOMING.

The fact that the melee system is STILL BROKEN AFTER 2 YEARS is completely upsurd. They even did a poll recently where the devs asked the players what they wanted done next, and the very top response was "FIX THE FUCKING MELEE SYSTEM. WE DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT OUT FOR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY". NOPE, FUCKING IGNORED. "LETS GO AHEAD AND MAKE MORE PAY2WIN WEAPONS"

It's complete bullshit. The system works like this
> You have 3 attacks. Fast Attack, Defensive Attack, Power Attack
> Fast attack beats power attack, defensive attack beats fast attack, and power attack beats defensive attack
> Except if two players through the same attack, the one with the better melee weapon automatically wins.
This seems like a good system, except for one problem
> Defensive attack DOES FUCKING NOTHING. AND IT HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS STRAIGHT. UPDATE AFTER UPDATE AFTER UPDATE HAVE BEEN RELEASED THAT HAVE ALL COMPLETELY IGNORED THAT ONE VITAL BUT UTTERLY BROKEN PART OF MELEE.

It's so fucking bad. Basically if you are a melee class, you can just spam right-click to automatically win every fight in the entire game. Because everyone else's defensive attack does absolutely fucking nothing, and you have a better melee weapon for simply being a melee class, you AUTO-WIN.

OTHER GRIPES(From the cucked-loyalist perspective):
> Eldar instantly kill everyone with all of their melee attacks. You don't even get to react like you do with others and try to dodge roll...
> Orks are better at shooting than you are
> Have fun getting 1-shotted by an Ork sniper with a Deffgun from across the fucking map.
> Have fun trying to kill orks, because it takes 32(in a 30 round mag) fucking shots with a bolter to drop one.
> Have fun trying to kill chaos, because you'll just get 2-shotted by Autocannons.
> Devs took away the Lascannon sniper from us because chaos players bitched too hard. Then they gave Las-sniper to everyone else

> Take 1 step out of cover as a space marine

Can i use a single Knight Atrapos in an Oathsworn Detachment?

>>52404334

No, only the knights the formation explicitly allows, thanks to the gathering storm faq.

>>52404317
The thing is that a Space Marine with a shitload of experience would probably have a higher chance of dodging an attack from Guilliman than a freaking Gretchin that most likely literally eats shit.

>>52404331

Different anon, which one was that? Wasn't the only FAQ that came out for Gathering Storm II?

>>52404331
It's not in tabletop, it's in Eternal Crusade. The fucking autocannon 2-shots everyone, and Loyalists have no equivalent. Our heavy bolter FOR SOME FUCKING REASON, DOES LESS DAMAGE THAN A NORMAL BOLTER.

I wouldn't be complaining about the Multi-melta killing people instantly if it wasn't for the fact that the KEKED LOYALIST MULTI-MELTAS ARE FUCKING USELESS AGAINST CHAOS AND ORKS, AND ELDAR. Because of the complete bullshit that is the Mark of Nurgle, Natty ork toughness, and it being outright impossible to even hit eldar in the first place with a multimelta.

>>52404363
I admit, Guilliman might have been an exaggeration, but something like a Company Champion fighting another Space Marine or a Gretchin should make a difference.

Hell, tripling out your opponent in WS should realistically just cause automatic hits.

>>52401452
I'm not gonna sugar coat it, I started with Craftworld and avoid the cheese were possible: no Wraith outside of the Wraithlord and no scat bikes. I love my Aspect warriors to death, they're infinitely more interesting. But Deldar, pure or Ynnari, are also fun as hell. Pure Deldar, I may not win much, but I love it when everything falls into place so perfectly.

>>52401345
I've never had the problem of having to resist picking the best things. I just want to have fun and I like my aspect warriors

>>52404401
Baneblade's are unfortunately very easy to kill. I managed to destroy one immediately in a 1500 point game with just a single unit of Assault Terminators. In terms of sheer usefulness, from what I've seen a Stormlord (or whatever that transport variant with the gatling guns is called) seems to be the most useful of them. Their main gun can tear MEQs to shreds and it's basically a Land Raider Crusader on crack.

>>52404425
Huh, interesting. Don't the FW Knights' rules state that they're eligible to fill the LoW slot in any detachment from any Army of the Imperium, though? Oathsworn isnt a Formation but their Allied Detachment equivalent.

>>52404487
>Don't the FW Knights' rules state that they're eligible to fill the LoW slot in any detachment from any Army of the Imperium, though? Oathsworn isnt a Formation but their Allied Detachment equivalent.
I think the RAI for FW's knights is that they could go into any imperial LoW-slot. Doesnt really break the game exactly.

>>52400573
This is meaningful mate, thanks for sharing.

>>52404016
They'll be in a raider with a 3+ jink, so they shouldn't have too much trouble getting there. It's full BS overwatch I need to be worried about. And you know, actually being in combat because WS4 S3 T3 4+ is super great dedicated melee stats. Maybe if they had WS5 and combat drugs were only +A/S/T instead of 50% worthlessness like +1I they'd be better.

Still, I'm stuck with them, and I'm using them. If they hold up a unit for a few turns, then that's fine. They're supposed to be putting inn's show.

>>52404480
Like what you like, man. I'd be lying if I didn't love Dark Reapers. However, I do not like Ynnari at all. Besides not liking the fluff, the rules make people groan, at least around here. In all the games I've seen, only the Ynnari player was having fun.

>>52404487
Ouch, I haven't thought about Terminators since I'm also worried about Fire Dragons and mass Haywire removing it like its not even a LoW. I still want to have fun with it but I don't know if it would be fun having it sit on a Landing Pad or next to a Void Shield Generator for durability.

As for variants I agree 30 shots per turn if stationary and with a psyker to twin-link is pretty nice by itself. I feel most of the fixed turret variants perform better than their turret counterparts. Stormsword and Shadowsword also look pretty good to use but I don't want to discount the others just yet.

I'm thinking of adding an Aquilla kill team to my current army as a small side thing, since I like the idea of that sort of mixed unit.

I'm debating between a smaller squad with missile launchers, a couple terminators with Cyclone missiles, and a Librarian with the Aegis relic to give them all psychic support and an Invuln, or going with a slightly larger squad, giving the Termies flamers/assault cannons, loading up on shotguns, skipping the Librarian, and just getting in real close with a drop pod.

Are either of these a particularly good or bad idea?

Ugh, painting troops wears me down. They're so tiny

>>52404756
Don't take heavies that aren't frag cannons. You're missing the opportunity cost of a stupidly strong gun.

Don't waste too many points on Terminators. Cool, but again: frag cannons.

Just be very careful with how you decide to upgrade, because you can be very killy--but very costly.

I just picked up some Delta brushes, as my last one has died and I don't wanna spend $20 on a single Citadel brush.
Any idea if they're any good, or did I waste my money?

>>52404827
Yeah, painting a bunch of Skitarii also sucks ass. Having pretty models is nice and all but that also means that there's even more stuff to fuck up if you're sloppy about it.

Yeah, Frag cannons seem rather ridiculous, though I wasn't too excited about the idea of needing to pick up 4 of the things.

It does sound like I'll be better off going more for the close-range idea though and skipping on the Librarian.

I just want to finish my batch of 5 Radium Carbines for now, then move on to the Kastelans I put together today. Painting regular Skitarii gets so boring so quickly and spending over an hours per model, if not longer, is really discouraging when you still have 10 more on the sprue.

how is this list? im want to get started playing again after being away for a decade.

i thought i should ask before i start ordering models.

Got a question regarding the Elimination Maniple formation and its units' loadouts.
It's obvious that giving the Kastelans full Blasters is the best plan for them, maybe even giving the Datasmith that Electromartyr relic to give them BS 2 Snap Shots. But how would you kit out the Destroyers? One Plasma unit, one Grav unit, both in the same configuration or something like 2 Grav, 1 Plasma per unit? Aa for secondary weapons, I feel like giving every unit one flamer is a good idea to shoo off any potential melee swarms.

Thoughts on that thing?

>>52405374
It used to be called finecast. Now they just call it resin.

The name stuck.

>>52405254
Yes, finest is the name of the resin formula that GW came up with to replace metal. It was supposed to be able to be used in the same molds so they didn't need to make new ones and could just switch over to it quicker. Sadly that worked about as well as a lead ballon, and lead to the nickname Finecrap. Because it was lighter and they ended up having to resign everything that went fine cast and making specialized molds for the resin. This lead to some improvement in quality but for the most part a lot of people are still very bitter and the resin does have many flaws. Brittleness being one and softness being two, the third is sometimes a bad casting will sneak past Quality Control (if GW has them) and you will still get one that had airbubles in the mold and thus holes in the sculpt. I believe GW has a replacement policy for Firecast sculpts that are bad. Honestly the fact that they aren't removing and recycling these before they hit packaging is a failure of quality control.
>>52405281
To be fair one would think that they would use their proprietary name for their proprietary resin.
