Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

no arguing about tyranids or tau please

Is there any real counter to a Farsight Bomb when playing as Imperial Guard? I got my shit kicked in earlier today. Took out a Leman Russ and two Chimeras, one of which had my commander in it in one turn.
Note I play via Tabletop Simulator.

I can't afford a land raider for the honor guard, and I am doubtful putting them in a metal box that won't let them assault.

So yes that was the plan.

I am open to replacing the hguard with something else.


I only have on drop pod, and I am saving gravcents for my anti cheese list which looks like pic related.

That being said, I want to use >>52629061

Not who you're talking to, but Tau player here, gf plays Daemons.

Main one is that it's expensive, and he likely doesn't have a second. Be ready to blast it on your turn, and try not to cluster things the bomb would want to target.

>>52629086
I meant Interceptors as in "units that shoot at deepstriking enemies". Get an Inquisitor or something, I think they can give it to units.

Are orkz still viable for whatev edition or should I just kill myself. Ty for answers

>>52629112
What? I want you to look back in the previous thread and find one post saying that.

>>52629140
Orks are dumpster-fire tier right now, but the entire game is getting completely redone with new rules for everyone in like 2 months, so hold out til then and then we'll let you know if things have changed or you should just save yourself the trouble and hang yourself.

>>52629140

I'd put down a tarp, less cleanup for forensics that way.

Let me introduce you to something called Shadow War

Other than being a Nurgle/DG based cultist equivalent like Tzaangors were for Tzeentch/TS armies, what do you guys think the plague zombie-cultist-guy-things will be like on tabletop?

Where does all this bad blood against people who play some army even come from?

I can understand hating Tau players that think Riptides are their Land-Raider-equivalent, but what is the point of insulting Tyranid players or Ork players or Space Marine players that want their Tacticals to be useful outside of a WAAC formation? No one has ever lost because Tacticals or Gaunts are so OP, what the fuck is going on there?

>>52629061
Drop the 3 marines off the Dev squad and get a metal box for the honour guard. You can't assault out of the Rhino, but you can still get across the table faster and better protected. If you think disembarking the turn before charging is telegraphing your intent, slogging it on foot is going to make your intentions even more obvious; at least a Rhino can make a 12" redirect from a feint or change in battle plan if you so desire, rather than relying on the dice gods for good Run rolls.

Except in all the recent threads the Nid players have been arguing using fluff examples while the haters were just shitposting.

>>52629211
Please, Nidfags post outdated fluff and then bitch and whine that their codex sucks

>>52629211
Wrong. You live in a different reality. Tyranidfags try to dismiss every single fluff they don't agree with as "NOT CANON". Fucker, look at the previous thread.

>all this arguing about which faction will "win"
>when Orks have already won

The galaxy is constantly warring and Orks don't have to look hard to get a good fight. They "won" a long time ago (fluffwise)

>>52629211
Fuck, these nidfags either need to stop crying or deepthroat a shotgun barrel.

>>52629236
Orks didn't win. It's confirmed in the Beast series. The Ork have a racial goal to conquer the galaxy and a mysterious purpose programmed in their genes.

>>52629140
They're not competive, but they're still fun.

Yeah, you'll get utterly shit on in 99% of games, but Ork fun is in converting shit and throwing Orks at problems.

>>52629180
>Tyranidfags are like WHFBfags. Toxic, bitter, autistic, and pedophiles.
Literally what

>>52629225
>and then bitch and whine that their codex sucks
which admittedly it does, I can't even run fluffy lists against them without tabling them by turn 3. We moved on to give the Nid players in our group 20% more points to even make the games interesting.

>>52629233
>>52629242
I have, that's what I'm wondering about. And honestly it was a bunch of Nids arguing based on fluff and you few mouthbreathers spewing bullcrap. And I'm honestly curious what the motives of retards like you are, because what's the fucking point of shitposting about Tyranids? Are you just trying to force a meme or something?

>>52629233
>Tyranidfags try to dismiss every single fluff they don't agree with as "NOT CANON".
This isn't unusual for 40K fans in general. Any bit of fluff that contradicts their view is somewhere on the spectrum of bad writing to non-canon, regardless of the (usually abundant) evidence to the contrary.

/tg/ I want Stealth Suits. I love their models, but they are so damn expensive points-wise. How do I make them useful without bringing an OSC?

So now that we officially have necromunda kill team rules, Rak'gol when? I would also like to see Hrud make an appearance. Also Kroot.

>>52629252
No, you didn't or you lack reading comprehension. Tyranidfags when confronted with the actual fluff regress back to "IT'S CRUDEX HUUURRR". I want you to Ctrl-F "canon" in that thread. Now fuck off. You either trolling or a total idiot which puts you in line with the rest of Tyranidfags.

>>52629254
It's trait more seen in nidfags here. All over fans accept the lore and move on. Tyranidfags never cease their tantrums.

So, my LGS owner has essentially put me in charge of 40k in the store and wants me to run an escalation/slow grow league. We want to include prizes with each month, even if they're something small like a box of dudes. What's a good way to go about doing this?

I'm thinking a small monthly ($10?) fee to cover the prize and maybe counting total VPs over the course of each month using Maelstrom missions counting d3 VPs as 2 so it's less randomly swingy. To encourage players to play more people, I'd probably limit recorded matches to being 2 per month per opponent. Hell, maybe I could do best average VPs per opponent or something. Idk.

The group is pretty cool, so I'm not worried about cheesemongers, but I want to keep the atomosphere more relaxed. Not sure how to do that. Maybe secondary categories on the report slips with paint jobs, fluffiness, and sportsmanship or something.

Any ideas?

>>52629254
>Any bit of fluff that contradicts their view is somewhere on the spectrum of bad writing to non-canon
This is the natural result of having a view which developed from reading the usually well-written older fluff that is now shit on by newer, much less skilled writers. It's just particularly apparent with Tyranids because they went from being written by writers that loved them to a guy who actively hates them, but they aren't the only race which has suffered from this - even Space Marines have this problem in modern 40k.

>>52629203
Ok, I will try that.

I was going to use the librarian for shriek/telepathy powers. Do you think I should keep him with pedro and the hguard in the rhino?

>>52629273
>All over fans accept the lore and move on.
No, that's just you. Most people disregard bad writing offhand.

>>52629260
My personal setup is a Shas'vre with a Fusion Blaster, Markerlight, and target lock in a small team of 3 with 2 marker drones. You've got 3 markerlights total, Stealth + shrouded for the drones, and the Fusion blaster can fire separately from the burst cannons of the rest of the squad. Further, the Shas'vre can still fire 2 guns.

It isn't an overly specialized squad, but it's good for infiltrating close and marking targets while dishing out some damage.

If you wanted to take it further, you could potentially use a Stealth Team as the bodyguard for a crisis commander, using him as the gun platform and them as a way to give him a great cover save.

Generally, I would say to think of them more like pathfinders. They might not be as efficiently costed, but they have a lot of interesting utility you can give them to support other units.

>>52629276
See what I mean.

Crud who self proclaimed nid lover is made the bad guy in their fantasy world just because he throw fluff that disagrees with ther headcanon.

>>52629273
Just neck yourself, buddy.

Hell, do you even play 40k?

>>52629288
Are marker drones useful in that since units can't use their own markers? I'd take the target lock and fusion blaster for sure, but they just seem like very fragile units for their cost.

>>52629329

A win is a win, not my fault they didn't prepare.

>>52629368
It works fine on /pol/

If the rest of my Tau are painted in the Vior'la scheme (white armour over black bodysuit), would mostly pure black Pathfinders and Broadsides look out of place? I'm taking the Ranged Support Cadre which gives Pathfinders shrouded, but having white all over a supposedly camouflaged unit is triggering to me. I'd like them to be a bit different since Pathfinders and Fire Warriors look quite similar, and I'm running some of the Pathfinders behind an Aegis line among the Fire Warriors.

>>52629330
Marker drones are incredibly useful. I make use of them extensively. Even if the Stealth team can't use them, it's only a 3 man squad. That's one fusion shot and a couple burst cannons.

The benefit comes in later, when other things fire on the targets that the stealth team focused on.

Stealth teams also aren't as frail as they seem. Having a 4+ cover save even while standing in the open is quite nice, and if there's basically any cover at all, whether from intervening models, trees, whatever, they shoot up to a 2+ easily. Not only that, but jet pack moves are incredible for protecting you from counter attacks. People really downplay just how great it is sometimes.

If you stuck a commander with a 3 man team with 2 drones, they'd also be majority toughness 4, making them even harder to dislodge.

I will say that the other support systems aren't as good on them. A positional relay or something similar can be thanks to infiltrate, though outside of that there aren't as many great choices.

I do tend to keep my own stealth teams small, though I would say the best way to run a larger squad would be to stick a Commander with them. Have them soak and nullify hits and blast away with burst cannons while he does the real damage with a target lock and BS 5 for whatever guns you want.

The great thing about Tau is that their are a lot of options.

>>52629377
Because has it due to the abundance of trolls, shills, and samefags. /tg/ doesn't have those in big numbers.

>>52629378
You could go with a grey color, sort of a granite or similar. That would fit with the white color scheme better and look less strange than pure black. Maybe add some darker grey stripes to make it more camouflaged.

>>52629366
But what if he is in your range.

>>52629381
So basically just pump burst cannon into whatever it is, then mark it?

>>52629368
Having people shitpost on Tyranids constantly Fucking Tyranids, that's like bullying a kid in a wheelchair defeats the purpose of having a discussion though.

>>52629388

>>52629398

>>52629397
Yeah, two burst cannons into whatever you want to mark, just for some extra damage, then the markerlights, then a target lock fusion blaster into anything nearby that looks juicy.

That's the idea anyway. Might depend somewhat on your local meta how it works out.

In reference to this, how do you go about playing with an assault unit that is in a transport w/o assault ramps?

Do you try to disembark pre-emptively? I'm really scratching my head about how to do it. I really wish LR's had a cheaper variant.

>>52629536
tau/eldar are very cheap
nids/guard/orks are expensive
all forgeworld armies are very expensive and forgeworld units bring up the price of every faction
Most expensive army: conscript blob guard (running 2-3 infantry squads (25 models without the conscripts) with full conscript squads (50 conscripts) can set you back a ridiculous amount)
Cheapest Army: suit tau (2 crisis suit teams, 1 riptide and a broadside along with the drones included is over 1000 points)

I know this is a meme but as a tau player he'd be pretty screwed against me.
Is he new as in new to 40k (1st option) or new as in new to the area (perhaps a veteran 40k player) (2nd option)
1st option(new player wants a casual game): probably equal, wouldn't run any formations as a tau player and would run no formations bar a drone net vx-2-0 but fusion suits, 1 riptide and 3 of my own flyers would still be enough
2nd option (he's a veteran player and asked for a waac game):
Retalitiation cadre, barracuda ax-5-2 and optimised stealth cadre is enough medium level cheese (I only use 1 riptide/no GCs) to probably enough to take on those mech units and my flyers will fuck up those dakkajets easily.
As a d-99 player, he'd be fucked since my entire army is vendettas + melta/plasma guns that deep strike around the map since I don't use my d-99 in casual games

>>52629518
Well they are 14p a piece so they are 2-to-1 disadvantage. 10 slugga boys vs 10 shield drones.

>2,7777 ork boys bites the dust
21 attacks from the remaining 7 boys
>3,5 drones cease to function, factoring in the 0,4666 from over watch, it's 6 drones left
Drones lose by 0 or 1, depending when you want to factor the overwatch factor.

Drop the Farseer for a Warlock Conclave with a single Warlock, then use the points saved to get scatlasers on all the bikes. I'd recommend the suncannon for the WK at 500 points, it's a lot more flexible at that level than a few D attacks. If your opponent brings any AV14 the WK can still punch it at S10/stomp it.

>>52629547
I'm assuming that the Chaos Space Marine unit with the CCW is the one being sent into the assault?

If that's the case, you should know that even though they can take on regular MEQ, they will fall apart like wet toilet paper if they come head to head with another melee dedicated unit.

Scrap both the landraider and the CCW marines and take three more units of noise marines, giving you access to the Emperor's children Decurion power. You are better off just giving your lord a power weapon and gift of mutation and letting him tag along with one of the noise marine squads.

You won't have anything fast, but you have a decent shooting army that can take on most enemies (except flyers)

>>52629563
This: >>52629604
With only 5-6 models in the squad you should be able to all huddle behind the Rhino and block LOS from shooting. Remember it's AV11 front AND side, so you can turn it sideways to maximize its blocking silhouette. Next turn get the Rhino out of the way (bonus points if you Tank Shock a unit other than your Assault target) and the footsloggers continue on as normal.

Worst case scenario is they immobilize/wreck the Rhino as it then becomes an obstacle, and obviously Explodes! hurts the infantry hiding behind it.

>>52629667
they're not that expensive if you only run suits, I mean 4 boxes for 1000 points is pretty good value
I guess armoured guard or scatbike/wriathknights eldar could be a bit cheaper since 5-6 tanks for a full army (forgeworld armoured brigade codex) is not that bad, while 2-4 boxes of bikes and a wraithknight can't be that expensive

For over 400 points (including the land raider) they will not accomplish much. They will do well, but not 400 points well.

Getting 3 more squads of noise marines to get access to the S5 & S9 weapons, which is already going to benefit from the split fire and shred USRs which will work as a force multiplier

>>52629750
Terminators and any character with a powerfist will ignore all their bells and whistles. If you really want to pump out a lot of attacks go with chosen. They have more attacks and can shoot anything to death that they dont want to charge.

Well in the end you pay 5 points per model (including the 2 noise marine tax) for a shorter ranged shred AP5 heavy bolter, where a normal one is 10 points and nobody takes it.

>>52629871
Split fire must be pretty handy too. Especially if you have an S9 Blast Master in the squad. And remember that everyone in the squad can have a sonic weapon too

Been out of 40k for about a year, have a tourney coming up in a few weeks, 750pts,everyone has the same limitations of
1 HQ or LORD OF WAR

Do you already have any ideas for what army you want to run in this? It'd probably make it easier to give help. Unless, of course, you want complete assistance.

>>52629275
in my opinion, prices tend to bring the worst out of people.
So you might tone down/do it some other way.

For an escalation league, consider going with lists that the people send in prior, or you will face riptides @ 500pts.

Maybe award some veteran skills for survivors or heroic deeds, or encourage themed battles like attack/defend an outpost

>>52630015

>>52629547
>I'm new and I need a lot of help with my list. It's for casual games, but I still feel that it's lacking a lot.
whoa
consider an invul on the lord. Maybe exchange a LC for a powerfist or at least give him meltabombs so he wont get crunched by a dread or MC (he is fearless he wont run if he cannot hurt dat)
consider giving him a bike to bring his T from 4 to 5 so he wont be killed by S8-9 shooting fast.

dont mix sonic and blastmasters. ever. sonic blasters are for midfield blastmasters want to shoot their blast every turn. also points.

strap the lascannons from the defilers, they can only snapfire those when they shoot their battlecannon (ordnance rules)

you need something to open transports with i.e. higher volume of midstrength shooting. Havocs with autocannons? predator?

if you bring the CSM with the lord to the front, gib the CSM champ some powerweapon or even a fist(lord will take challenges). also meltas or flamers might be worthwile.

lastly you need more bodies or you will get shot of the table FAST

Related to this:

What's the opinion on limiting the amount of points spent on single units at low point levels? Like for example limiting the cost of units to no more than 160 points at sub-1000 games. The idea is to prevent Deathstars and Riptides from running the show.

>>52630253

>>52629169
>what is the point of insulting Tyranid players or Ork players or Space Marine players that want their Tacticals to be useful outside of a WAAC formation?

One of those is not like the others. Marinefags crying that some of their bullshit isn't overpowered enough aren't on the same scale as orkfags who have maybe three OK units in their entire codex and no formations worth using.

>>52630320
just as planned

>>52630333
>Tacticals to be useful outside of a WAAC formation?
thanks to that BS called grav, they are

>>52630267
It might be good, but you also might have to go unit by unit and see just how that might affect certain armies. FOC restrictions might be an alternative way to keep a check on things.

>>52630267
It's a good idea. Though you will be hard-pressed to field some non-cheese elite units at that level. Perhaps consider banning Riptides.

>>52630267
You fool! GW will just lower the costs of riptides acordingly as soon as they hear about that.

>>52630363
Grav isn't that great on tacs.

>>52630253
>Why does Magnus serve Tzeentch

Remember that time when Magnus became a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch? Remember that time when he was reconstructed, mind, body and soul by the influence of the Architect during the apotheosis? Remember when he became aligned to Tzeentch and has thus had to deal with the encroaching influence of his master on his very essence?

'Chaos corruption' isn't just some meme and mutations aren't just physical, if you serve Chaos it will, eventually, however slowly, twist you to its whims, or otherwise drive you insane.

>>52630267
that's dumb
there is a reason you don't bring high cost units in small armies

you should instead just ban or restrict whatever is the problem

>>52630388
not anon you are replying to, but is it not?

I heard the cannon is worth taking, this is the list I am trying to build >>52629307

Should I take something over the grav cannon?

>>52630267
Well that would make some configurations of csm, tactical squads etc. forbidden. The problem is, that if you start restricting strong choices (multi wound models with the option to get a 3++) you will probably hurt weaker choices much more (1K Sons couldn't get sorcerers anymore)

>>52630267
>No more Kataphron Destroyers with Cognis Flamers

No anon, please, don't.

>>52630411
The grav cannon is fine, better than any of the heavy weapons. Tacs just don't benefit the same way relentless models do with grav due to salvo.

>>52630428
I could replace it with a special weapon, but I wanted at least one grav weapon in the list

To be fair, he still has an aura of incompetence about him, even with the newer retcons and some of the older fluff portraying him as one of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy (which, canonically, he is) he's still brought down as a character by some of his fluff, in which he does a lot of jobbing for what is effectively the mortal BBEG of the setting.

>>52630474

There is and it's perfect to counter this shit.

>>52630647
Of course there wil be a starter set. Its not like we are playing warhammer for its great ruleset.

So is it possible at all to field pure Deathwing in 7th Edition without auto-losing on Turn 1?

>>52630505
Because a single Riptide/GravCentstar/Wraithknight at 750 still rapes everything except other cheese on that level.

>>52630778
Well as long as you don't deep strike them you won't lose. And deep striking is just horrible. By now i just let my raptors jump in from the table edge to not lose them again.

>>52630778
I've heard people talking about using dreds in drop pods but given that the detachment and formations rules say that they must deploy together I'm going with no

A shame because literally every other chapter can field their first company alone but the one that genuinely famous for their termies, nope!

>>52630333
>Tacticals
>bullshit
top kek

>>52630795
And they are retardly cheap for what they do.

Maybe if they started at 250 like the useless crap that the Landraider is. It wouldn't be so frustrating.

>>52630800
I'm thinking of drop podding a Ven Dread in on Turn 1 via DPA and then using the locator beacon to deepstrike the full Deathwing army. Only thing is, a drop pod isn't exactly hard to kill and neither is a Ven Dread. I lose either of the two and there goes the entire game.

>>52630809
What does them having to deploy together mean?

At the rate that this is going it looks like I'll have to do mixed wing and stick to higher point games in order to fufill the Deathwing Redemption Force requirements as well as whatever the fuck the Ravenwing's requirements are.

>>52630817
Yes. The point cost creep is so real it hurts. If Land Raiders were released today they'd be fast, 7 HP and cost 180 points

>>52630829
Well you could just drop another empty pod somewhere else, as an insurance.

>>52630860
Can I just take empty dedicated transports in 7th edition formations? I haven't played since early 6th ed so I have no clue how the new system works.

>>52630829
ah my mistake, the Redemption for requires them all to deploy on the same turn. The strike force you can deploy, but you would have to have drop pod dreds in of the first turn and hope they survive. and you still auto lose if you don't go first.

>>52630846
DA can only buy prop pods as dedicated transports

>>52630883
So spending close to 200 points for a Ven Dread and a Drop Pod changes my chances from a 100% chance of losing to a 50% chance of losing?

What a clusterfuck.

What are the rules for Mixed Wing like? Anyone had any success with that?

Tell me about Straken, gents. He seems overpriced but he's essentially a MC murder machine without being a MC. It's rare we actually have a good non pask special characer. Anyone have experience running him?

Are their any melee focused army lists that work well in this game? My warmahordes army got fucked with mk3 last year and I've been feeling that itch for a new game recently.

>>52630624
Eat a dick. The backstab didn't even do anything to Abaddon but piss him off. You over-exaggerate stuff and try to force memes making you a cancer here. Please KYS.

Also you are ignorant cunt also. Kharn and a Blood Angel Chaplain managed to land hits on Abaddon and leave lasting scars on him. Celestine was in way unique or noteworthy to anyone but a bastard like you.

The rest of your post is fine, but this feels like projecting. Celestine is cool as fuck as a character and concept, Gathering Storm has just handled her sub-optimally (like basically everything else.)

>>52630916
Daemons, deathstar builds or genestealer cults.

>>52630916
>Are their any melee focused army lists that work well in this game?

Very few, and they mostly revolve around giant, overpowered super-units crammed full of characters. Anything else just gets shot down before it gets close - the game is very focused around shooting at the moment.

>>52630946
I meant that she was not unique in scoring a wound on Abaddon, in that regard. Heck, wasn't even a crippling wound since he has black carapace and is inside terminator armour.

If you want to talk about incompetence, she had a chance of killing a half blind and distracted
depowered Abaddon by going for his twin hearts or chopping his head off rather tthan delivering a wound that never crippled or killed a marine.

Will they ever make a good video game from the tabletop 40k?

>>52629794
>anything up to heavy assault infantry
>"durr they will die to terminators"
>recommends chosen
Chosen are a 'better' choice but they're also far more expensive. These guys are even an okay match-up against Terminators since they'll kill at least 2 before the Termis get to strike (even if they have Lightning Claws) and likely tarpit the remainder for at least another assault phase, two if they don't have power fists. For Chosen that's roughly equal points parity making it tactical draw, meanwhile basic CSM can tie up and score some kills against a unit that's easily 80-100+ points more expensive.

>>52629792
HAH fuck no I don't at all recommend putting them in a Land Raider. Load them up in a Rhino if you must or just throw them across the board to catch bullets. In all honesty your opponent will probably largely ignore them in favour of shooting at the more obvious threat of Noise Marines, unaware of how many points you've dropped on an Icon and Marks, unless they're a fellow Chaos player.

>>52631039

The meme will not die

Lads. I'm confused. Reading Angel's Blade book and the Death Company relic things are so much better than the Blood Angels shit (that's even including Shield of Baal relics) but I just checked and it said "Can only be taken by Death Company Strike Force or Lost Brotherhood Detachments" and if I go and check... The only units that can take relics are Death Company Chaplains and Techmarines, using that limitation.

Is this a mistake? Why the hell is there these melee weapons and armour and shit for Chaplains and Techmarines when they're not really designed for combat as well as Captains. Even then unless you do Death Company Chaplin (HQ) and Death Company Strike Force, you can only pick one relic anyway (iirc FAQ correct) and even if you could pick more, why would you put these expensive relics on a guy who'll get OHKO'd by plenty of weapons? You can only really go for that +1 to FnP weapon.

The armour is neat if you're running a DCSF and have a maxed out squad to give Crusader to, plus it'll keep you better protected from Pyskers and general weapons (though AP2 is errywhere!".

The Counter-Attack one is 10 points too expensive imo.

The Sword is good but is not only less useful on a Chaplain, but it also is unfluffy. Chaplains use Corziurs as they're the badge of office. Giving them a fuck hueg sword kinda defeats the point.

Anyway this was a roundabout way of asking, was this a mistake? Were Captains meant to be included in this list?

Heavy weapons arent worth it on terminators, five them some powerfists instead, they help against the paladins draigo runs with normally. Take only the minimum amount of berzerkers, they are a tax to get mok, take another rhino full of csm or some raptors instead. Take melta instead of plasma on the csm in the rhino. You want to charge. Give your lord the murdersword and set him up for his second hq probably a librarian. Your combi melta is better suited for the champs. Rhinos will blow up or be forced to snap shoot as soon as they are in range.

Except he KO'd him and cut open his head, saw the Butcher Nail's and even asked Land to come and take a look and then went "lol i don't break my tools, he is number whatever and he's useful as a tool im a cunt for no reason despite the fluff never being like this until ADB wrote it lol".

God that book was awful. Having the balls to go at the end "not everybody will like this book", nobody liked it. Chaosfags hated it, Imperialfags hated, Xenofags hated it. Everybody hated it. It ruined everything for everybody.

>They basically wrote how a S3 AP3 maybe AP- as it seems in book manage to wounding him a lot worst that he has ever been wounded.

The sword is Str 5. It's also, you know, holy. That makes sense to hurt him like hell.

Do sorta miss it's old 'Totally not poisoned' though. Made more sense for tearing up demons that way.

Is that one of it's powers? Considering his response to it, it didn't seem to negate the stab.

>>52630624
S5, actually. In the battle report they played (and they used to play games and then write fluff around the result, see Triumph and Treachery in WHFB for example) she did manage to kill him. So they wrote the fluff to match. So what he stabbed him in the back, it's not like he died. It's what caused him to blow up Cadia.

I never remember reading that nigger shell made marines immune to wounds. Why are they using power armour if their black caparace make them immune to shit.

I think people are trying to justify GW bad writing about Abaddon.

I'm sorry, anon. I'm just a degenerate. Being straight is a lifestyle choice I'm forcing on the citizens of the country. I am sorry. I have tried to seek psychiatric help, I have gone to Straight Camp to try and cure my straightness. But I just can't. I was born straight. It wasn't a choice.

I'm sorry ;_;

>>52631395
take the heavy flamer instead of the reaper. reaper is too expensive
consider power axes on the termis as its a budget ap2 melee solution.

i prefer 5 csm in a rhino
your berserkers cannot charge out of a rhino, so they will eat at least one round of shooting. give the champ some powerweapon/fist
drop a lightning claw onthe chaos lord but give him an invul instead. 2lc looks cool but 30pts is urgh .strongly consider that csm-codex daemon axe of khorne. Ap2 at ini is nasty. also consider a bike/juggernaught to avoid insta-kill from S8/9
consider dirge casters on the rhinos
consider dozer blades/siege shields on the vindis.
the problem of these formations: you have many rather expensive characters in there (abby+lord+warpsmith)
ensure they do something

>>52631481

Wait, they did a BR and then wrote the fluff to match?

Shit, they're doing the same thing I did in middle school!

They used to do it quite a lot, actually. The start of the End Times in WHFB began with a Battle Report, where they kidnapped the Princess. Captain Tycho exists due to a Battle Report.

In Triumph and Treachery, the Empire managed to win the battle report and steal the Not!MayanCalender2012EndofWorldTablet. It ended with the Slann preparing to get it back.

It was pretty good way of doing, actually. Apart from when they did Storm of Chaos. That didn't work. Chaos lost every game.

>>52631529
Possibly.

>>52631500
I think its about the damage to the nerves. And it makes a lot of sense to integrate something spine regenrating/stabilising when you are cuntting them up anyway.

>>52631500
He healed due to Chaos. End of. In the old Battle Report where Eldrad killed him in a duel, they wrote the fluff to say he was spirited away before the blow to kill him hit.

If Chaos survives anything it's due to Chaos powers protecting him. Why does it matter?

>defending bad writing

Nobody defends GW terrible writing. In this case there is nothing wrong as any 'why isn't he crippled!!! :(((( REEEEEEE" can be defend with "He's backed up by all 4 Chaos Gods. He is the Warmaster. He has protection. Etc Etc".

>>52631573

The guns on the titan engage and destroy other titan-class opponents, while the feet have a transport capacity in and of themselves and if infantry or tanks approach that the titan can't just ignore it opens the hatch and releases them.

>>52631581
>He healed due to Chaos. End of

Except for the fact that Abaddon lost his empowering due to the Pylons shutting down the Warp almost completely.

>>52631576
Don't shit on Imperator Titans. They rock. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Forge World are considering making a mould of one for Made By Order purchases. A to-scale Imperator Titan is like 4ft tall, so it's gotta be smaller.

It'll be 5,000 points most likely. Who cares! It's fun.

A lot of creatives left back with Nazi/Kitten mod. Then they left again when IRC raiders forced /wst/ to /d/. So we have very few people now.

The picture raises all kinds of questions:
Why is the marine unarmed?
Where did he get the Daffodils from?
Why does he think the SOB would want them?
The area they're in don't seem conducive to daffodil growth, did the marine bring them with him?
Did his squad notice and what did the think about the situation?
What's so enrapturing about the grill on the Marine's chest that the SOB has to stare at it?
How did the daffs survive whatever it was that caused the two in the picture to be covered in blood?

Black Carapace is a neural interface that's grafted onto the spine. Its primary function is to read motor nerve impulses and allows power armour to perfectly match the movement of its wearer like it's nothing more than skintight spandex. The implantation process basically shreds the connecting nerves along the spine, which is fine because the Carapace retransmits those impulses faster than the nerves could.

>tl;dr injuries to the spine don't matter because the black carapace does the same job better

He also kept healing my prince which was pretty useful.
