unlike the others GK will explode if corrupted by chaos in any way (how draigo doesn't explode despite becoming a daemon in all but name is beyond me). wait, scions don't fall to chaos?

as a squad is 9 dudes and a sarge each grunt is assigned a single digit no and a company name

so AAC 4 for 4th grunt of C squad of A company etc.
seargents get a double digit, signifiying greater rank
junior lt. triple etc

thats also the local name of the rank
double, triple, quadruple

Still looking for some pointers

Psykers each in kataphron for prescience/divination, coteaz is there for interceptor and seizing initiative, Cawl will join a unit of Kataphron with the Dominus and the whole unit will get skyfire/tankhunter/monsterhunter every turn

Except modern marines don't have a 50% chance to fall.
The various new indoctrination methods were instituted after the horus heresy to ensure it never happened again, and as such comparing modern marines loyalty to pre-heresy marines is disingenuous.

Moreover, you're flat out wrong on it being 50%. Half the legions fell to chaos, but that was nowhere near half the marines. The vast majority or legions had loyalists elements, which is why stuff like isstvan III happened. That's HH fluff 101.

Stop spewing this retarded meme. Sisters are not better than marines because there hasn't been a sisters heresy, the two groups have two completely different circumstances.

Could I get away with having a squad of 6 slab shields + priest? Or maybe 3 + priest and a couple tanks to help cover the corner/sides. Would be pretty funny to have Obscured, +1 from slab shields and (if you could) Camo Nets on the big tank.

>>52541757
Haven't thought about that either, big cover crates giving a chance of something nice for my Guardsmen is also a nice bonus.

I honestly don't know which way to use a Baneblade (and variants). Moving and shooting sounds fun but a gunline seems more safe.

My list has 2 wyverns in it in the Artillery detachment, and I want to take 3 mortars for shits and giggles.
I know mortars suck as and I could get another wyvern for 5 point more, but are mortars effective in any way or am I wasting 60 points.
S4 is not bad
>>
>>52541914
I would regard the lack of onagers as a serious problem, those s10 blasts of the NL are really nice on armor (100% chance to pen a rhino while its still in your opponents deployment zone) and those plus the heavy stubber are great for wiping squads.

divination is good but you're jumping through a lot of hoops to get it. I'd rather have more dakka.

You can make an argument that the 10 man squads aren't necessary on the arc rifles because shooting at vehicles 70% of shots are wasted vs 60% for a 5 man, but youll find theyre too fragile. Why not give the alphas in arc squads the arc pistol? you'll want to be closing to 12" anyway for rapidfire.
5 man squads on the barebones vanguard is pointless. They'll get shot off objectives too easily and they don't put out enough firepower to be much good.

>T3 for life!

T3 armies let cadia fall. T3 armies fucked up the imperium. T3 armies created the ignorant, oppressive hellhole that the imperium now is.

With RotP, T4 armies gave the imperium new hope, a chance at not all dying to chaos, and at some semblance of innovation and progress. And that's all in just one book.
T4 armies are the sons of the emperor, who's blood runs through their veins. T3 armies are mooks who die so that the main characters of a novel can save them.
T3 fags are the worst.

>>52542408
I don't like to run my skit as a CAD, but my lists are heavy on infiltrators and dragoons so I like the scout move.

Maybe consider swapping the battle congregation for an elimination maniple? Grav is kind of a must have in any competitive meta and the robots are really tough. You can add the TPD and Cawl if you like to the robot unit, and then pull Cawl out of that turn one and put him in with an arc squad to tank because he doesn't have enough synergy with the robots.

I'd be running Cawl in an allied detachment from the War Convo, then. He doesn't really take any wargear and I can stick him with a 10 man of Vanguard.

Also, from what I'm seeing about the War Convo, it looks to me like one of the most flexible formations in terms of weapons and wargear (if there's a flyer heavy army coming at you, swap out the NL Onagers for some IA, etc.).

Are there any major pieces of info I'm missing on how a War Convo works, or is mostly just fill out the slots, slap on the free shit, and bring on a beatdown?

You pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I'm looking to play more TAC so I'm not entirely comfortable with taking the Convocation
If you take Memento Mortispex on your dominus you can give whatever unit it's attached to skyfire, tank hunter or monster hunter each turn. On Kataphron this is insane, no flyer can survive a salvo of skyfire grav from them.

Like most traditional games, 40k is an oral tradition. Go to your LGS and ask someone to teach you how to play; it's not only traditional, it's also a lot less overwhelming than reading the rulebook or listening to anons tell you how it works.

If you don't want to run a WarConvo but want to use those units, why not check out the Conclave Aqcuisitorius? It's not a terrible formation in terms of its bonus and still leaves some wiggle room for Coteaz.

>>52543389
Technically, you just need to take the Dominus for the Holy Requisitioner. Its minimum size with a Knight Gallant is 1520 points, so there's still some room to do stuff.

Was just a suggestion, though, since people so often ignore all the other big formations if they don't want to use the Convocation.

I personally really like the Cohort Mechanicus, but that one is unfortunately 1960 without upgrades and minimal size because it forces double Dunecrawlers, double Kastelans, those damn useless Electro-Priests and 3 Dragoons. Would be a really fun formation otherwise.
Though I guess why they'd tax it that hard. Having Doctrina Imperatives, Canticles, an extra Canticle and Doctrine and potentially also the Cawl Canticles now on your entire army would be incredibly broken.

Riptide are criminal undercosted and Grav is stupidly good. Even against bad saves the sheer amount of shots make up for that.

If you bring cheese units to friendly games, you are sad person. So you either never play with him and make sure the rest of place does the same still he stop being a waac.
Or you turn into waac.

In other words power gaming in 40k is retarded and sad. Specially in the mess of unbalanced shit it has

Amusingly, my friend the Blood Angels casual player actually does like it for exactly that reason. The CSM player views it as a good thing to test against - you're going to see it in tournaments, so he likes getting games in against it before them - and the space wolf player is fine as long as he gets to run his wolves, like he has been since 5th.

There's a couple of other players who show up now and again, with varying kinds of CSM lists, and from what I can tell they're just glad to be able to try armies they've been theorycrafting for a while.

I'd say you could sacrifice a couple stormshields without issue. After all, Custodes squads are all characters, so you can LoS the wounds to basically wherever you want. If it's high AP shooting, toss it to a guy with a shield, and if it's low, tank it with somebody in normal armor.
>>

Can't really speak for Dark Angels, but Raven Guard scouts get a lot of benefit from first turn shrouded. Have them infiltrate into cover while they advance, and you could set up a second turn charge with melee and shotguns pretty effectively.

90% sure this is directed at me. If it is, this dude is lying.

He's playing against an unoptimized ork list, and an unoptimized deathwatch list: both with no fliers or anti air. He's taking a Daemon prince of nurgle as well as spamming psykers and pink horrors.
>>
>>52545194
Yeah, if you already have one it's tricky. I mainly went for it because my shop had a sweet deal on the box with it and a 10 man tactical squad, and because I only really plan on using just one.

Oh. Well if it was only the Daemon prince of nurgle as the strongest thing, I'd ordinarily say Mek Gunz could handle it. Orks could probably do okay against a mono-nurgle list, but that sounds pretty well optimized if he's mixing Tzeentch stuff and the prince is just there for Shrouded Jinks.

If what you're saying is true you kind of lose the battle of rock paper scissors to begin with. One army is the opposite of elite and can't deal with much of anything and the other is one of the most elite; still with no answer.
You need to utilize allies. If you don't, both armies will lose most games. Just afterthoughts sadly. If you have no answer to something in a friendly game and you get smashed by it definitely ask him to take off the wings. It's not really fair to you if you're lacking the models.
>>
>>52545280
I did with the others.

White primer ate the plastic so everything looks odd and bad.
>>
>>52545282
Get a bit of paint on your brush, put it on a pallete, dip the brush in a water cup, mix up the paint. That should generally be thin enough.

Watch one of Duncan's vids to get an idea.

>>52545311

Check out Warhammer TV on youtube. Their painter, Duncan, is the patron saint of painting minis and gives a lot of good tips. As for how thin your paints should be, a good idea is basically to get some paint on your brush, put it on the pallet, then dip the tip of your brush in some water and mix it in. The proper thickness will come more naturally with experience, and don't sweat fucking up once or twice. No one's an expert starting out and Simple Green will strip paint from any mini without damaging it if you leave it to soak overnight.

Another tip I can think of off the top of my head is to save a wine cork and keep the arms and weapon separate from a marine's body if they're holding a two-handed weapon like a bolter across their chest. If you try to paint them fully assembled the gun will get in the way of getting to the chest details. The wine cork is so you can use poster putty to temporarily stick the mini to it so you can freely rotate it to paint every side without having to actually touch it.

Here's a quick link to Warhammer TV, and have fun with your dudes.

Pretty solid. You've got a flying nurgle prince for summoning, a decent bodyguard for a juggerlord with that relic axe (I assume he's with the bikers, since he can't join the spawn).

Only thing I might suggest would be 2 more autocannons on the havocs by cutting out one of the Nurgle spawn.

How does this look for 1250?

The tool says vengeance of ultramar is 25 points but everything I can find says it is 20 so I don't think I am over the point limit like it says.

Tigurius with the gravcents in the pod, terminator librarian with the cataphractii, biker lib with the capt and bikes.

Scouts holding up on an objective somewhere, terminators pursuing heavy units/distraction carnifexing, gravcents dropping on riptides/etc, bikes clearing up stragglers.

>>52545403
The chaos lord is best on a bike with the others which is a bit too small to survive very long, more bikes is better than raptors any time this edition, deep struck termicide is better and cheaper than some chosen in a rhino, never max marine squads, give all of your havocs autocannons and take more havocs in general since nurgle does it so well, spawn are generally just awful unless you hide a couple behind cover until late game and throw them on an objective and in my opinion you have a few too many, the screamer squad is too small and will get taken out quickly.It'd be better to take a CAD of daemons so you can have more than one herald, one with grimoire for invuln on the unit and the other with paradox. You might want to throw on the 30 pt locus for extra oomph to your summons. also if you're taking a DPoN give him the black mace and armour, always

>>52545601

>>
>>52545282
Best place to go is the wip thread, tutorials for everything in that op and some really good painters frequent it.

Should be thinned down with water to the consistency of milk, mix in a wet pallet outside of the pot and keep the pot closed so paint consistency doesn't change.

True, but if it was only that single thing and everything else was Nurgle Daemons I'd say they'd have a chance. A target with 2+ cover on the ground could be plinked away at over time. That, combined with Tzeentch Daemons for psychic phase dominance is what pushes it over the edge.

This is what I meant. I have faith that GW will manage to dig under the low bar of 7th somehow.

>>52546128
Early 4th is Best Edition. 3.5 Allowed too.
>>
>>52541047
I'd use >>52541107.

In fact, I already use his suggestion for my current guys:
Spade Squad 0-9, Skull Squad 0-9, Diamond Squad 0-9. Diamondtrack (Chimeras), Skulltrack, Spadetrack, Skullcog (Leman Russ), O-Cog, and Clawcog. And they all get transfers from the Iron Hands and IG sheets so I can tell guys apart at a glance.

It works well since naming guardsmen or sargeants is meaningless when they die so easily. Men come and go but the callsign lasts forever, as new meat replace the old and inherit the name.

Has anyone ever seen a model or drawing of power armor wholly covered in bonding studs?

I watched Admiral, and started wondering about making a korean-styled chapter and thought of that to represent the brigadine armor they used.

>>
>>52546384
So Vetock is still in? Another edition of glorious tau supremacy.
>>
>>52546457
I don't think so. Bonding studs are typically used for weaker pieces of armor or to shore up specific points. I don't even think you could find enough bits to make a full model suited in it.

The idea of having them use armor with some studs on it extensively is a good one though, but you'll have trouble doing much more than a shoulder and a leg for most.

Don't jump ship now! Guard are getting buffed in 8th!

A friend and I went in together for the Kill Team box and I'm taking the Space Marines. I want to paint them as Storm Wardens, but I'm not super sure on a couple things. The first is what exactly the color scheme is supposed to be. The image looks like Blue and Silver, but I've already seen blue and white or blue and gray listed elsewhere as the chapter colors. Other than that, I'm having a hard time coming up with something to put on them as their sacris claymores instead of the basic combat knives. Any suggestions?
>>
>>52546582
I meant in the sense of unit stats, not in terms of army competitiveness. For their prices most guard units are decent, and become great once you stack on the orders and such.

But the new systems aren't changing our price tags, just how units work. And while those changes nerf shooting strengh, the humble lasgun has nowhere to go but up.
>>
>>52546606
They're blue and silver. Storm Guardians (ridiculously similar name) are blue and white.
>>
>>52546606

They're basically Space-Scotsmen. So some tartan patterns might be in order on shield and capes. War paint like in Braveheart maybe. It's been a long time but go read their lore in the deathwatch books, since they are FFGs special chapter.

I'd go with Blue/gray. gray = storm. Silver accents like the pick you posted.

It would be difficult to remove AV values what with all the codexes that use them. But personally I'm holding out for either a switch back to "No hull points", "Monstrous Creature Damage Table" or "Hull points only". Any of those three would buff tanks immensely by either removing stun-blocking, removing the current "Grav/Haywire-Glance-to-death", or just equalizing vehicles with monstrous creatures. After all, if we can destroy tracks, stun crews, destroy cannons and detonate vehicles, then why can't we cut tendons, give concussions, rip off arms or headshot monstrous creatures?

i want the emperor to wake up and lead the imperium again
>>
I have easycast clear resin, a little bit of oyumaru, and 1/4th of a pack of milliput.
Can someone tell me how to make a mold for casting up noise marines? I'm an idiot and tried using milliput and pressmolds with the oyumaru

I've got a few of the claymores from the Purifier box, and they don't really have much iconography on them. Just really big power swords really.

I have the location of several potential heretical breeding pools. Where shall Ivsend them and will that at least clear one of my mistakes, lord?

attention citizen, you appeal to "clear heretic breeding pools" is not applicable to adeptus arbites as it is not within this departments jurisdiction, you will now have you appeal taken to a department that can better service your request. your request will be taken to the, "emperors holy order of the inquisition". your second appeal will be processed and reviewed by members of the adeptus arbites. please wait patently for a response. thank you for your cooperation

is there a possibility that he could wake up like rowboat? there has to be since the emperor is like the primarchs but better in every way

Oh boy...big not only owning his powers to chaos gods but also his life to xenos. That would be spicy.
>>
>>52547427
I mean, its a fantasy universe so anything GW can imagine is possible, but there's a pretty significant difference between the emperor's situation and girlyman's.

I think girlyman will do a good job of cleaning shit up. Plus the emperor waking up would probably be the beginning of the 40k endtimes

>>
>>52547427
doubtful, it would give the imperium a big boost from their dying empire and would make everyone else step up their game.
>>
>>52547631
This is how I see things happening. Space marines (yes even the none codex ones) start to rally behind Girlyman. They embrace the way the Imperium was and seek to return the Imperium to this state under the guidance of those who lived through those times.

The Inquisition, and Imperium in general start to reject Girlyman and and while not labeling him and the Marines traitors publicly do so in secret. Creating a factional divide between the two.
>>
>>52547791
Looks pretty good.

Doesn't the Daemonic Possession on the Dreaclaw get a 1 turn delay based on the rules for deep striking?
>>
>>52547631
id see it like he improves things to the point where the imperium wont crumble, but cant do much else, and is stuck in limbo, until he tries something that works , then the endgame starts
>>
>>52547936
Yes, in a manner of speaking. Since it deep-strikes turn 1, you don't have to roll at the start of turn 1 to see if it eats anyone.

After that, you only have to roll for when someone embarks upon it, and who climbs back inside a drop pod?
>>
>>52547954
>id see it like he improves things to the point where the imperium wont crumble,
but that's where they've been at for 10,000 years. Barring end times via chaos or tyranid or whatever, the imperium isn't going anywhere.

He'll have to do better than that

what if the inquisition, because of said divide, starts to do things that would make them look better to sort of one up them, and they recuit psykers to somehow help the emperor piece his soul together, and accidentally wakes him up

>>52547973
Yeah that's what I took away from it.

So I guess if you get a lucky scatter and can disembark immediately you can ignore one of the big issues with the Dreadclaw.
>>
>>52547995
In GW lore terms, no. But realistically they have inevitability on their side. Chaos doesn't matter if the galaxy is stripped of all organic matter a few thousand years in the future.
>>
>>52547954
>>52547976
I think the ideal for Guilliman's involvement would mainly be sorting out logistics. Simply being able to manage resources on a galactic scale and cut down on a lot of the waste and corruption in the Imperium would help them a lot, and it would free up resources for them to be more proactive and focused in their problem solving.

I don't think it's a huge game-changer for the Imperium, but it would help in the long term, as there would be less times where the Imperium needs to just burn worlds because they don't have the resources to hold or take them. If Guilliman can sort it out so that even a fraction of the worlds their forces have to abandon or explode are instead made into stalemates to be reinforced later? Even that will have a pretty steady impact on their ability to do things moving ahead.

>>52542084
The coils being different colors is honestly excusable. Probably dozens of different materials across the myriad of plasma gun STCs could get the job done.

The real inconsistency here is the apparent varying amount of heat/damage affecting the barrel of each gun. Again, probably just different STC patterns creating different weapons that altogether serve the same function, but pretty sus.

>>52548041
thats the only way i can see the imperium awakening the emperor, out of sheer incompetence

Still not needed. You can have them cruise around all game if you wanted.

There are 2 times when the dreadclaw will try and eat models

1) At the start of turn 1
2) When a unit climbs into it

The dreadclaw ignores the first if it comes in on turn 1, and the second is entirely dependent on you. It won't try to eat them at the start of turn 2, and it won't eat them if they try and disembark on turn 2.

So long as you're only taking one or plan cautiously, you can ignore one of the biggest downsides and have a pretty reliable Assault drop pod.
>>
NEW THREAD WHEN?
>>
>>52548053
Not when they're spread across the galaxy like they are. Unless you're willing to concede that the same thing could happen to the imperium

>>52548069
Yeah, I'm punctual and browser beeps aren't easy to ignore. Your point? I can take a picture of my modelling table if you want. I've got skitarii, a knight, some sisters of silence and a space marine or two, but no tyranids.

The other cool thing is that you don't have to drop on a specific point. You can just land somewhere safe and turbo boost away, and with a Murder Talon it has a 3+ jink on T1 and is otherwise an ObSec Hover/Flier with d6 S6 vector strikes that als ways hit lowest armor.
>>
>>52548084
>Unless you're willing to concede that the same thing could happen to the imperium
well it could happen to anyone, thats just one way they could die off out of several, for instance the emperor or some such powerful entity uses his mind powers to somehow break the hivemind and they all eat eachother
>>
>>52548114
right, but that's just a deus ex machina, which is pointless in discussion because then literally anything could happen.
>>
>>52548053
>im gonna guess this is the first time the nids found chaos

The Chaos gods don't seem to technically be restricted to the Milky Way, since the Warp is infinite, but they do seem to think this is the only place with interesting stuff happening. The Tyranids can also use the warp, so even if the big 4 and them haven't clashed, they've likely encountered some lesser daemons of some kinds over the millions of years they've been active in other galaxies.

>they could all just be swallowed by the warp somehow

Didn't really work with Hive Fleet Ouroboros
>>
>>52548113
Yeah. It's closer to a 100 point AV 12 assault skimmer, rather than a Drop pod. Get close to where you want on turn 1, Jink to survive, then have the guys in position by turn 2.

One simple thing and Dreadclaws go from a useless risk, to a solid mid-cost transport option between Rhinos and Land Raiders.

I don't understand the point of "Close Combat Weapon" when used with a boltgun or another non-pistol weapon. Is there a point to this? Isn't a close combat weapon just the same as the models normal melee attack?

I mean, it IS a 100pt av12 assault skimmer, though. It just has the pod assault rule, though current 30k claws have been updated to also have internal guidance. Personally, I think chaos claws should have the mawloc rule when they Deepstrike. Loyalist don't have claws because the machine spirits are assholes and they're prone to possession, and that would be a cool representation. Instead of the little Deepstrike flame attack, just place a large S6 Ap5 blast when you land on something then reduce the scatter.

Anyway, I'm planning on getting 2 more claw upgrades because I already have 2 unopened drop pods for a list like this. I'm tempted to drop a Havok squad for a Hellbrute in a pod because that's a scary thing assaulting from a pod on T2.

>>52548287
My Havoks are headless and shoulderless, but at least my ACs are magnetized
>>
>>52548330
Just remember to have one of the 10 man squads be the thing coming in on turn 2. You do have to split up the pods as normal, so you want the squad that's risking getting eaten to be the one with more dudes.
>>
Yea, the chosen and brute would be the shock troopers and the 10 man squad is the clean up crew. I might actually give them flamers instead, now that I think about it.

How many psykers do you feel ok with throwing at a desired ability to ensure you nail a desired ability?

I have a librarius conclave, one of which is tigurius. I have 7 total attempts to get (in my case invisibility), however tigurius and his unit have to have prescience, so I have 6 shots (It's guaranteed to get prescience if I just go for the primaris).

I can give you the formula I am using if you want, but the odds for throwing point after point at invisibility is:
1: 16.6% (1/6) chance
2: 30.5% chance
3: 42.1%
4: 51.8%
5: 59.8%
6: 66.6%

So, I know the answer is "Just keep going for it until you land it or run out of charges", but if you were designing an army around getting it, how many psyker MLs are you going to put in your army to get it?
>>
>>52548899
Well, I often feel that after 3, I start getting diminishing returns. Granted, I also don't really build around a single power like that, since it is random.

The only power I am banking on is prescience, but invis would be really freaking nice.

This is the list I am running, tigurius goes with the gravcents in the pod.

Following the guaranteed prescience, I will probably go for invis on tigurius, and then invis > vel of time for the other two dudes.

Can you use pedro kantor in an imperial fist detachment and not lose anything from mixed chapter tactics?

I am tinkering around with the idea of pedro kantor, sternguard, and drop pods to make use of his abilities. I have come up with the attached list.

Should I put a locator beacon on a drop pod to try and reduce scatter here?

Also I am trying to decide what would be best to take as combi weapons for the sternguard.

I figure I can park the tac squad on an objective, and then send the rhino out to pick up a footslogger that survives the drop site massacre. It has enough transport to pick up the cents/kantor if needed.
