I'd be happy enough if Sorcerers could roll on Divination. I figure sure, Scarab Occult Sorc can roll on it to try and get Perfect Timing. Having Ignores Cover on TL-AP3 bolters, hellfyre missiles and a soulreaper cannon would be brutal. But fuck paying for an ExSorc footslogger to babysit them for that purpose.

Is it worth putting upgrades and shit on a CSM rhino besides a dirge caster?

Combi-meltas can be useful if your rhinos won't be getting focused.

Extra armor is decent to make sure your rhino can always move, as that's their main purpose, and most guns can penetrate their armor.

Dozer Blades and a Dirge caster if you just want it as a Transport. Combi-melta if you want it to pack have some extra threat and kill something after delivering its payload. A Havoc Launcher can make it into a pseudo-razorback, but you should probably only do that for a more backline Rhino

I'd take some kind of scouts with either better proportioned heads, or some kind of helmet. But the armour design is wonderful. I'd have to give it to this game for the attention to detail on a great many things.

Personally my only beef with this so far as the beta is concerned, is I'd like to see more generic heros for other people. It feels so wrong to have Gabriel Angelos leading the Raptors that I just outright refuse to use him.

Newbie here. Is this ok for 1000pts? I only have Celestine, Veridyan, Immolator, and one squad of Sisters so far, so it's not to late to make big changes.

And why do regular Inquisitors who aren't named characters count as HQs instead of elites? I like the idea of having an Inquisitor attached to each of my Sister squads, but don't think I can make it work.

>>52827994

Veridyan only really works in gunline lists. I'd count her as a Canoness with Cloak of St Aspira to ease damage on one of the battle sister squads.
Switch the Immolator Weapons for Multi-meltas to cover a wider target range.
I'd switch the Avenger for either an Exorcist or a Dominion squad in an Immolator.
The Seraphim and Celestian are amazing anti-infantry units, so try to make the rest of your force more anti-vehicle focused.

>>52827994
Not a sisters player but 2HQs is usually unnecessary at 1k points. If your HQs are insanely strong or you need them for some special strategy it's doable but don't see why you've done so here.

Inquisitors count as HQs because they take a leadership role of detachments similar to a cannoness. For example in the recent Gathering Storm release, the primary leaders of the Imperial forces were an Archmagos of the mechanicus, Creed, and an inquisitor. Inquisitors can also be found leading Grey Knights and are able to use inquisitorial authority to commandeer IG detachments, Space Marines, and yes, Sisters of Battle. It does not make a lot of sense for Space Marine Chapter Masters to be fast attack choices and inquisitors have more authority than that.

I see. I had flamers on everything since that's sort of the Sister's thing. So something like pic related would do better? (Still using Veridyan model for the Canoness of course.) Or do you think two HQs is to many?

>>52828223

I mostly got them because they're such nice figures. I could always just paint one separate and not include her in the army though.

>>52828441

Well the Crusader is easier to use, but it's sponsons are hopeless. 12 S4 shots at 12" will hardly tickle your opponent.
The Redeemers sponsons are much more powerful, but lack range. So on your first turn you will either:
>Move 12" and pop smoke
Or
>Move 12" and 6" flat out in an attempt to make cover
On turn 2, your cargo should have left and try to assault something. At this point the land raider is now operating independently and is trying to wreak havoc until it finds itself in the wrong end of a Meltagun. Because the 2 sponsons are on opposite sides, it's difficult to target 1 unit with them. That's when Power of the Machine spirit kicks in, and lets both sponsons shoot separate enemy units as long as it moved 6".

Everything I've seen posted with that game makes it sound like the balance already isn't great.

That said, I think you could potentially add Guard to the game, though you'd either have to make them Catachan Scion Vets so they could just be the absolute top tier of guardsmen, or have it function as some sort of builder class where you order NPC guardsmen into positions and have them function as weak turrets.

What rulebook is Death Guard Vectorium from?

The links in the OP suggest that the current chaos marines book is still the 6E book and in that one VotLW isn't worth the points.

On a more amusing note: what part of that army is word bearers? I see all nurgle and a random Knight of Khorne.

>>52828978
Traitor Legions.

The book includes why I "assigned" the CAD as Word Bearers. It's basically just so I can get a 10 point book to get 4 spells on the Daemon Prince.. that's all

>>52828978
How long have you been out of the loop? Traitor Legions book added new rules for all the major Chaos legions.

All of them also have VotLW mandatory and free, along with other bonus special rules.

The CAD of his force seems to be word bearers, since the other warband formation is Nurgle only and doesn't have the spot for the Knight. Word Bearers also have a nice Daemon summoning Relic

It's like, 400 and something points I think.

So I'm looking through some options for a first army, glanced through the SM/CSM books and just wanted to verify I didn't miss anything. It looks like space marines get pretty hefty bonuses if you pick a commander and chapter to unify them, but chaos has no such bonuses? Are similar ones available through other means, or is CSM's alternative just a combination of chaos marks and being able to ally demons?

People talking about DG bikers, how do people feel about proxying suitably daemoned up fantasy warhorses as bikes for CSM?

Thinking of picking up a Slaves to Darkness SC box for kitbashing and conversion purposes and that would be the most sensible thing to do with that shit, as far as I can tell.

>>52830059
It's pretty easy to make a non-cheese Tau list. Just run a CAD, don't take a Buffmander or Marker Drone commander, skip on larger battlesuits as a whole, and then don't run Crisis troops.

That still gives you a fuckton of non-cheesey options for making a good army.

Really, to intentionally make a Bad list as Tau, you have to do something really dumb like Ethereal spam.

Granted, I classify 'bad list' as 'would lose to Orks on a regular basis', so take that as you will.

If you're asking if it's possible to still make a Top-tier Tau army on par with Eldar, Marines, and Tzeentch Daemons without cheese, then no, because all of those armies take their own cheese to get to that level.

MOBA and Starcraft fans love it. Then there are also the shills.

>>52830152
Yeah they use termis. Literally every chapter uses everything available to them, perhaps not as much as other chapters and vice versa, but every chapter has everything available to them, which is why it pisses me off when people say certain chapters wouldn't use X when they and almost every other chapter would have access to them and use them as codex compliant chapters. In this case, Black Templars are known for their lack of a Librarius and preference for Land Raiders and Vindicators.

A lot of their stuff has been retconned, yes.

>>52830168
Just answer the question.

>>52830139
I guess there are different levels of bad

trying to do something weird with your list and finding it doesn't work is one level of bad

Well, if you're worried about taking Markerlights and seeker missiles, I would say that isn't really Cheese. Doubly so if you're taking Pathfinders for the Markerlights and aren't just running one of the ways to get high BS Marker Drone squads

Depends on a lot of different factors. Some places just have pretty typical walls, others are more fortified. Depends a lot on the faction.

Generally though, if you want to blast down a fortification, you'll need a pretty heavy gun to damage it in any meaningful way

>>52830311
once upon a time drones could both jink and go to ground, allowing for a 3+ cover save anywhere on the table

>>52830264
Seems fine to me. You've got durable skimmers that can Jink to easily deliver their payloads. Those same Skimmers are also going to have a S 5 Heavy 4 gun that ignores cover and line of sight for taking out hordes of infantry, along with a pair of gun drones to add to that.

Their payload is a unit that needs to get within 5" for a buttload of S 6 AP 3 shots. They're basically assault transports tossing fragile, high-initiative Power Lance troops at the enemy.

You've got the Stealth and Crisis teams for a bunch of Fusion Blasters, meaning tanks won't be any sort of issue. You've got Pathfinders with Markerlights to help you make sure these other squads take out key targets.

And to top it off, your Warlord is a FMC, making him pretty hard to kill, helping to avoid your opponent getting slay the warlord.

This would do just fine against a lot of armies. I could see it being more than a match for Sisters of Battle, and they're solidly Mid-tier.

>>52830251

It takes jump-shoot-jump to another level when you can do it with a small pile of rubble instead of needing an actual wall.

>>52830324
>>52830305
Annoying IF tard who is obsessed with asscents here, you are amongst pesky friends

>>52830345
Those sorts of heavily armored walls would be the thing you'd find on Military outposts, Fortress worlds, and anywhere else that was really up-armored. The outer walls of a Hive might apply, as well as the main supports, but most buildings in it less so.

As for the scale of gun, you'd be looking towards the likes of Krak Missiles at a minimum I'd say. Melta weapons would be the ideal.

Potentailly, weaker stuff like a Krak grenade could put a hole in it, but it wouldn't cause much significant damage to the structure as a whole, and you'd need a lot of those in order to properly make an opening to breach through.

Power weapons could also potentially carve their way through with enough time, but that would be akin to slicing a circle in a heavy door with a lightsaber like in star wars.

>>52830353
IG orders

you only get scion orders if they are from a formation or detachment of scions

>>52830345
Hive worlds are usually completely covered in cities and large structures, so yes walls are common, though rarely would they be defensive in nature, more likely just structural, or to create a boundary between neighborhoods

>>52830469
Not really, you miss out on the volume of fire that makes grav so good.

>>52830143
Duncan's video tutorial on how to paint Thousand sons is the definitive something something you could need. Otherwise just spray them liberator gold and touch up with some the same. You don't want to even consider starting blue and painting the trim, you got your whole life ahead of you!

I also suggest leaving the bolters off and paint separately so you can paint the chests easy.

>>52830342
Which is exactly what I'm going for. An army that is actually fairly decent, and would do well in a tournament. But it isn't a Rapefest of horrifying cheese. On the other hand it isn't a push-over.

I'm sure this list would do well with a solid player

>>52830469
Only if the team has a Plasmagun or the like and you're planning on hunting MCs with them. And even then that's just because it'd be better than a Plasma pistol.

Pistols on sergeants in general aren't too worthwhile. Better to spend the points on a combi-weapon that matches the unit

>>52830527
Yeah. I really do stand by that it's hard to make a bad Tau list on accident. Even just going in with some sort of plan for how you want to build it will give you something usable.

Somehow they get through the garden of nurgle without respirators lol and running quickly from stuff - the garden links to the plague planet
They go inside a plague manse but avoid the monsters because nurgle is too lazy to be active against intruders
No mortarion appearance
Hand is stuck onto a female skeleton sheltering her baby's skeleton from some weird plague bone giant which is asleep
Yvraine wrenches off the hand which makes the skeleton scream waking the giant but visarch smacks it about and they leave
It was okay but
Eldrad made to sound like doddering old man trying to keep the peace
Asyduras is alive? And predicted and told the black library yvraine would come for help and what she would need
Craftworld ynnari still have waystones
Too short - eye of night parts were all 2-4 minutes longer and it shows especially the end of the part 3
And wtf is the Rift? It sounds more like a new ruinstorm possibly the Blood Oath extending the eye in a line to Terra and disrupting communication
My guess is guilliman will do grand theft auto on Hurons black stone fortress and push the Eye back by draining its warp power leaving millions of warp tainted worlds to be reconquered and cleansed by all races but also letting chaos legions free to roam
This will also involve mortarion and the plague planet since that's coming soon and possibly dark angels due to their link to tyhpus etc

>>52830971
>push the Eye back by draining its warp power leaving millions of warp tainted worlds to be reconquered and cleansed by all races but also letting chaos legions free to roam
Honestly, as new status quos go, I really don't mind that.
Still not 100% on-board with a universe where Imperium and Eldar work together on a regular basis, but, probably way better than completely smashing the setting apart for Age of Emprah.

Just started 40k. Am I going to be that guy if I field ONE flyrant with double devourers?

>>52831140
Nah, the site is just a very simple builder, which is why I prefer to just write my stuff down by hand.

Plasma will do fine if you're not planning on shooting vehicles, melta is what you want if you want to destroy vehicles. The real question is what do you want to do with your tac squad? Since you don't have them in a pod or with Rhinos, I assume that means you're going to walk them to objectives, so I say go with the plasma guns since they have the same range as the bolters and are Rapid Fire like them as well.

You might want to check over your codex just in case that list builder has any miscosted or illegal combinations.

>>52831174
Depends on the points level, above 1k go for it.Questionable under 1k. Nids are, sadly, a weak army right now

>>52831174
I field one with wings, grubs and the devourer+lashbone combo. Its not as competitive, but people dislike it less than cookiecutter double devourer, and occasionally they've forgotten just how terrifying a tyrant is when its charging and they've left something soft exposed for me to mince.

>>52831162
Makes sense if they also have chaos able to freely move about so we go from Cold War with raids to Total War
It's always been insinuated that order factions could wipe the floor with the others if they cooperated but that they only do so when extinction is right in their faces
Also the more extreme xenophobia stuff was pushed when Priestley was forced out and Merrett took over (same bloke who changed the emperor into an autistic wanker)

>>52831181
Much appreciated Brother. May the emperor smile upon you.

>>52831029
Remove the Shroud if you put him with the Black Knights, since it only gives Shrouded when he's alone, and you want him with them so they can keep him alive as meat shields, and so he can buff them with Interromancy if you plan on using their melee. Drop the meltagun, it's illegal, and you're better off capping objectives with those tacs. Give the sergeants bolters instead of chainswords, you don't want them in melee. So if you drop the meltagun and the Shroud, you'll have 20 more points, for a total of 30 to spend. Buy him another Mastery Level. You'll have five points after that, so give someone melta bombs or something. Lemme check if giving them the free Ravenwing Grenade Launchers is worth it.

>>52831203
Fair enough. Always good to remember the vast amounts of middle ground between 'best friends forever' and 'suffer not the different to live'. And yeah, Chaos losing ground but gaining mobility is the kind of stalemate I can get behind.

>>52831271

No hard and fast rules. Your can make 'Your Dudues' however you want.

However it's often a good idea to try and keep the army thematically apprioate for 40k, and it's a solid rule of thumb that for every good thing about your army (i.e. Space Marine Chapter with strong technological bent and thus generally above Vera he gear) you have some drawback (Equipment is considered by many in the Mechanius to be heretical and they are frequently shunned by forge worlds)

They might be worth it for the Stasis Shell and the Rad Shell, seeing as they give -1WS and -1I if they Hit, and not if they Wound, but being only S3 with no AP means they'll probably not do very much damage. On average, you'll scatter 2", which usually will still hit something, and since it affects the unit and not the models hit, it means you'll be hitting on a 3+ in melee against anything that normally has WS4 or worse.

Though, a relentless TL plasma gun is pretty good too and might be better, since at melee range you'll be able to fire off 2 shots that will more than likely hit and actually do damage unlike the grenade launcher, so this is really up to you on this one, but since you have a Librarian with them, I'll assume you'll be rollig on Interromancy, so I'm leaning towards the Plasma Talons since Interromancy can debuff the crap out of people while doing nice damage.

Remember that you have to model the Black Knights with the Hammers, seeing as you haven't given them any upgrades.

since rubrics are considerd overcosted, what would be a fair price for them in your opinion?

Big news today lads. What do you reckon it's gonna be? 9th edition? Such a powerfull edition that it skips 8th?

How are Tyranids in Herald of Ruin Kill Team?

I've a friend who likes Tyranids and wants to play HoR with them, but I've very little experience with them myself beyond the general chatter through the grape vine that they're suffering hard this edition and was wondering if that extended to HoR

WHERE ARE THE NEW DEATH GUARD MODELS AAAAAAAAAAA

>>52831330
I would have thought if it was something as big as 8th ed they would have teased it for longer than 2 days
Probably new models for SoB or something SW:A related. Then again you never know what the hell GW are plotting most of the time

>>52831348
Maybe they're gonna re-release the squats?

>>52831313
So much information to take in.

The thing I totally didn't compute is the
>Remember that you have to model the Black Knights with the Hammers, seeing as you haven't given them any upgrades.

could you elaborate on it?

>>52831318
I'd want to say 19 or so. The big thing eating up their cost is the Sorcerer though, so shave off another 20 points from the squad to discount his psyker level and force weapon a bit more.

That puts a basic squad of 5 at 110 points.

So making an Iron Warriors chapter that have a love for closing off escape routes while artillery bombing the enemy forces is fine?
And with painting, do you have to stick to the original color scheme and sigil or can you stray a bit off?

>>52831396
Sounds perfectly Iron Warriors to me.

Go fucking wild with the paint scheme. Maybe some hazard stripes here and there as an homage.

>>52831396
Decal on your dudes mean absolutely nothing in game so go ham

>>52831396
Yes, you have to paint your models perfectly accurately to what's depicted in the book, or the GW's special Color-Scheme Strike-Team will break into your house and confiscate your models.

But seriously, they're Chaos marines. That gives you double the license to do whatever the fuck you want.

>>52831348
>Probably new models for SoB
I hope you only said that facetiously

>>52826932
Groovy!

When are we getting the news?

So what's tomorrow's announcement?

And why won't it be GorkaMorka?

>>52831396

Sounds solid. Go for it.

>>52831379
Yeah sorry about that m8, just like helping, probably forgot that you were a bit too new to really get all that.

The Black Knights as part of their wargear have Corvus Hammers, so if you model the sergeant with a Power Sword, you have to pay 12 points for it because that's a wargear option you can give him. I play mostly What You See Is What You Get, and most tournaments and lots of people do as well. In your list, you haven't bought any upgrades for the Knights or Ravenwing Bikers, which means that you have to model the Knights with Corvus Hammers because that's what they come with.

>>52831396
Yeah, it's perfectly fine. You could stick to the original color scheme, which looks nice and makes it easier to tell what you're using or you could always make your own. It's always easier to do the official so you don't have to think about all the color and stuff though.

>>52831427
Today 14:00 British Summer Time my good friend. At the moment in the UK it is 08:10 BST

>>52831386

afaik a normal tactical marine is 14 points. dont you think a 4++ and a AP 3 Bolter would be a bit too cheap with just 5 points?

>>52831318
They aren't overcosted. They're just only really good at one specific thing.

>>52831437
Thanks a whole lot brother :) May the emperor smile upon you.

>>52830825
>Ynnead exists beyond the warp in the void of death and is gathering souls

yeah no

that's not how gods work

PLASTIC SISTERS WHEN?

>>52831467
It's late. I was thinking they were 12 for some reason.

The AP 3 bolter I would classify as being maybe worth 2 or 3 points. It's nice, but Sternguard seem to pay about 4 for their special issue ammo that has AP 3 rounds along with a lot more versatility, so half that for a single one with less downsides seemed fair.

I thought 5 or 6 points was fair as well for the invuln, though in the end that leaves us at 21-23 points.

I still feeling pushing it down to 19 could work though, mainly because that 4+ invuln doesn't often do much for something that already has power armor.

Perhaps instead though, it would be more fair to lower the cost only for additional models, so that a small squad would still be a higher price, but as you added more men it became more efficient.

Friends R&H takes four quad mortars and they wreck my guard. You could use cadian models but there are specific FW upgrade kits for heretics and they look great. People might have beef if you use stock standard cadians covered in Aquila's and call them 'hererics'.

Well yeah? It's a WIP of course. Still need to brighten the robe's white parts and ink/highlight the reds. Been a while since I've painted any female faces though, last one I did was a gift for a friend about a year and a half ago.

Hey guys assembling a Khorne Daemonkin army, I've been crossing over into world eaters territory cause I love the idea of taking 4 units of berzerkers and rampaging across the board.

Anyway, I'm trying to build a list but I'm unsure how I should go about it. I know I wanna take the gorepack+ a juggerlord with goredrinker but beyond that I'm unsure.

Right now I've got
2x Bloodthirster
30x Bloodletters
1x daemon prince (though I have another that is in pieces)
40x CSM / Berzerkers
5x terminators
6x bikers
20x fleshhounds
1x helbrute
1x Knight paladin.

I've been thinking about picking up a few cultists for quick blood tithe points. But suggestions for the list?

Do people get mad over unpainted units?

Some do but if someone gets really irritated over it you probably shouldn't play them anyway

>>52832093
I know people don't like seeing unpainted units, and my GW has a rule that they at least must be base coated. But yeah, I think newbies should be able to play and enjoy the game

>>52832093
I don't think most people mind if the guy with 500 points of dudes doesn't have them painted. It's more the guys that have multiple armies without undercoat in sight.

>>52832093
As long as they actually *intend* to paint them at some point

It's not just a slaaneshi thing, either. One of the characters in the Night Lords novels before ADB went off the rails is slowly succumbing to the bestial anger of his Mark of Khorne and resorts to tearing out people's gene-seed and eating it at various points. It's considered a tremendous waste of resources at the very least and an extreme dishonour to their fallen brothers when he does it to their own warband.

Imperialfags are angry about him reinforcing one of the long lived themes of the setting and not sucking the Emperor's dick.

I'm a newbie still reading rules, how does one twinlink their weapons as they do in battle reports?

>>52832529
Twinlinked weapons are usually part of wargear or from a special rule granting twinlinked.

So if a Marine Captain buys a Marine Bike, he gains the Biker unit type, and a Twin-linked boltgun. That means his boltgun can reroll failed hit rolls.

Anyone tried converting Orrucks into Orks? For some reason they look so much better than 40k version.

>>52832523
He IS biased and uses same character concept & structure over and over again.

Trying to think of a casual tourney rulepack. So far I have:

>2K points limit
>No superheavies or Gargantuans allowed
>Can bring 1 Monstrous Creature per 1K points except for Tyranids (no limit) and Tau/Eldar (1 MC per 2K points)

Orks were the first codex of 7th. It's why we suck.

>>52832549
Bikers are a tad different because the TL boltgun is on the bike. The captain still has his non-TL handheld boltgun. Can choose to fire either, but obviously the bikes' gun is better.

>all those white specks and shine
You used a non-hobby paint varnish didn't you? I have the same shit on some berzerkers. The fucking thing says matte for acrylic paint but it ended up a good deal glossy and covered in white specks I can't remove. Handling also causes white-ish streaks I can remove with water. Never again.

>>52826935
Holy shit they're terrible

Okay, so I read a good portion of the 7e rule book and 40k lore.
Now how do I get into this game?

>>52832781

Contact your flgs/club and ask them when their game night is.
Then tell them you'd like a beginner game with someone. Most shops have a Dark vengeance set for sample games.

>>52832781
>step 1: choose an army
>step 2: learn about the army's lore and units
>step 3: form a decent army list at either 500 pts or 1000 pts
>step 4: buy the miniatures that comprise said army list
>step 5: paint and assemble them
>step 6: go play a game with someone and keep doing that until you get good, and then expand your army some more until you're a veteran

Any questions you have can be asked here.

White specs are dust, shine is due to no matte varnish and that I didn't know to shake off excess.
