I cannot get over how badass the art for those battles are. This bit of art from the Massacre is perhaps my favorite, but that one is also damned cool.

Were the Mechanicum at Istvaan in any notable strength, or were there any other major battles where they had a decisive role? Seems like we haven't really seen the Reductor roll out the storm of death they're known for at any point, just Decima declaring himself Damnatio ad Gladium and dropping a homemade Vortex Bomb on some fools like a Fallout character.

Should I put my t6 3+ save 10 model ogryn unit in a gorgon? It's not an assault transport and they take D hits if it blows so I'm not sure if it's worth the extra 300 points vs having them run

I bought some knockoff Kingdom Death stuff and had to leave that shit outside for a day to get the stank off.

>>52841178
Holy shit, what else are they armed with and how many thousands of points is that?
I would say the Gorgon really should be an Assault Transport, but as it isn't I would say have them walk. At the worst, moving ten SoaDA Vorax up the middle won't exactly avoid fire, and then your mandatory 10-man AP3 Autocannon squad can clean up. If you don't have that, get one with the Gorgon points, they're terrifying. My Castellax cry at their approach, even when they have to find an Enginseer to give them tear ducts first.

That is surprisingly cheap. About the same as my Thallax in PPM, which shows how much FW point costs are off by. Certainly have them walk then, not worth another 300 just for 12" move and a couple heavy weapons. Sure you don't want more Power Axes? You're wounding Marines on a 2+ either way, not beating them in initiative with the Mauls and can afford to take some hits from power fists with T6. Otherwise sounds cool.

Brisbane and even then sunny coast has a large 30k player base and most of us connect via facey just for ease of use and events planning. Australian 30k Heresy Community page on facey has links for groups in all the states.

>>52841801
Might do 4 axes and 3 mauls. But the mauls let them glance av13 if they have to, so they can deal with walkers

I'll probably have my hq attached to help with leadership. He's got a power axe and a 3+ invuln. He might go in a grenadier blob with a medic though.

I'm taking a baneblade command tank to help with LD too.

Which Legion will benefit most when our rules inevitably transition into Age of Roboute?

>>52842061
The Word Bearers.

>>52842061
Depends on the rules but considering they all use the same units/profiles there wont be a legion above the rest.

If MCs do get the AoS/2nd ed damage chart then legio cybernetica might get gimped a bit.

>>52842061
With the changes to Termie armour being a 3+ on 2d6 probably stuff like IW and DG

>>52841989
I've checked for specifically 30k groups here but not finding much. I'll check out what you suggested. Thanks m8

>>52842061
Seems like it may or may not happen at this rate.

>>52842009
That should fix that problem, then. Army sounds cool, pics when done plx.

Here's how it looks right now at 3000

Hq with iton halo, cyber familiar, power axe, abhumans, SoDA, planetary governor

3 medics

10 ogryns, 3 shields, 3 axes, 4 mauls, catspace

2x 20 grens with lasrifles, rotor cannons, advanced weapons

10 grens with lasrifles and advanced weapons, land raider proteus with 3x TL lascannons

5 missile teams

Thunderbolt with hellstrike missiles

3 leman russes

3 rapier laser destroyers

Baneblade with 1 set of sponsons and SH command

Think I'll actually make one boarding shield into a combat shield and put those points into a meltabomb

I might replace the land raider squad with more heavy weapons or maybe a malcador.

>>52842236
Also I'm going to be making this out of karadrons.

>>52842236
Oh, forgot that it's got an aegis too

>>52842061
Between basically nothing being known about the next edition, and the updated 30k rules probably just being some kind of dugs induced dream at the moment, it is impossible to make any predictions really.
Like we don't even know if any of the unit types has a base advantage over the rest.

>>52842129
>Termie armour being a 3+ on 2d6 probably
Well probably not. Resolving terminator saves on 2D6 is fine for a skirmish game like Shadow Wars, but just a gaint pain in the ass in larger games. Just imagine having to roll 2D6 for 30 suffered wounds one by one.

>>52841632
Please tell me there is actual fem-horus and not just isis

>>52842129
Too complicated, just give terminator armor a 2+ save that halves all modifiers rounding down, so a -6 becomes a 5+sv for example.

I mean, I haven't played 40K in 2 whole editions years so I haven't been paying attention at all to that sort of thing. But I honestly figured 30K was the 'more powerful' one, since it has all the extra special rules and units, and especially when I was comparing the rules for my planned 30K army with their 40K one. Custodes.

I'm the guy who was eating waffles while posting pictures of his Custodes one day (and thus call myself "Waffle Custode", to make it easier to tell me apart from "Custode Anon").

>"Fire," Hol Beloth ordered, pointing at Angron as he charged, "Fire at him now!"

>The legion squared their shoulders, bolters snapping up and yammering their fury with a flurry of shots. Hol Beloth watched in disbelief as Angron shrugged off the shots, armor sparking as it took the fire meant to kill a primarch.

>It wouldn't be enough. Lorgar would have needed his entire Legion to down his brother. He watched with hushed breath as Angron plunged into the tactical squad, chainaxes already clogged with meat and blood. The tactical squad lost all cohesion, falling in amongst themselves, unfettered rage snapping them like trees in a storm.

>Hol Beloth shivered as he watched his brothers die, the Red Angel carving his way through the pack of Astartes. None had time to scream, for each sweep of Gorefather and Gorechild were clean kills, brutal enough to silence the Word Bearers without question.

>"The Four give me blessings," Hol Beloth whispered, breaking out into a run,"And deem my soul worthy should I perish."

>The Captain shoved aside the last Astartes, launching himself at Angron, his power fist crackling with restrained energy.

>The primarch turned into the blow, flicking a savaged brother off of his revving axes. The Word Bearer fell to the ground in chunks, hearts still beating feverishly. The power fist connected with his breastplate, annihilating the detail-work with a flash of discharged force. He felt it pulverize the flesh underneath, heard the blood sizzle as it connected with the power field.

>He had done something terrible, and the feeling was worming through his gut. It overpowered his unbreakable loyalty to his Legion, his faith to Aurelian and the Four Above, and his love of battle.

>>52846722
No, no that's good.

I'm glad actually, if 30K rules are generally weaker then people can't really say shit about me wanting to use the Inferno rules.

Though honestly, I'm focusing on making a nice looking army this time around, instead of trying to rush them to the tabletop so I can play. By the time I'm done building and painting 30 Custodes and 2 dreadnoughts all nice and shiny, it'll probably be 8th edition.

>>52846753

this.

I dont think that's mk 9 when they only gave Deathwatch mk 8.

I reckon It's a mk8 kit, but give them the new long bolters, extra tech bits, and make them a couple millimetres taller than the Deathwatch, who are already taller. that way you can use them as normal marines, or the whole nu-Marines guilliman is making on Mars.

Athena and Kiara? The fuck arte you on a bout?

>>52847517
Two of them received name-changes recently. Faith became Athena (because the Emperor would sooner die than name any grandkid of His after an outdated religious concept, and Athena was the goddess of Wisom, and that fits the Emperor's original plans for Lorgar well) and Kelly became Kiara (because that name was stupid and didn't fit at all into 30k, and Kiara is Italian for Bright, which fits that Nostraman is based on Sicilian Italian, plus the irony of bright being the name for a Night Lord)

Why not Konstance? I mean, VIII is already named Konrad. Don't even bring the whole "bold counsel" etymology. Everything can be either in accordance to meaning or """ironically""" opposite to it. Thus, names return to meaninglessness.
...
Also, I remember Kiara as the daughter of Simba in that movie nobody watched. I remember a McDonalds plushie of her that made funny noises or something.

>The corpse was smashed aside like the fodder it was, Hol Beloth's hexaglyphic wards flaring as they failed under the onslaught of Angron's axes. The Captain died seconds later, trampled under Angron's boots as he tore into the backs of the fleeing tactical squad. Each and every one of them were run down, executed by his axes in an honourless death.

>Lorgar spoke the word as a whisper, but projected it as a psychic force across the bloodsoaked mesa as his brother cleaved the last, struggling Word Bearer into four neat chunks.

>Perhaps it was the Gods laughing at him, perhaps it was chance, but Angron heard him. The primarch turned, his chest heaving, the wound Hol Beloth had died to deal already clotted.

>"Lorgar," he sneered, "Your Legion is more pathetic than I gave them credit for. It is weak. Rotten to the core. A cancer among the stars."

>Lorgar lifted Illuminarum, activating the power field with the press of a button. He lifted its spiked head towards his towering brother.

>"Cease this madness, Angron, and I will give you all the blood in the galaxy. Together, we-"

>"Enough, witch," Angron growled, thick strands of saliva spilling over his bloodstained chin, "Enough of your whining. You-"

>Lorgar was blasted backwards, oath papers burning away and his armor scorched. His spit blood from his mouth and looked up at Angron, but his brother's attention had already strayed and the Nails were singing once again.

Is two knights too much for 2000 point games? Castigator and Lancer specifically, in their own QKC.

>>52849187

>>52847517 Is me. I was here when the whole thing happened. The Meet the Primarchs Lyra writefaggotry on 1d4chan is mine.

The whole thing is of course a joke, and while I understand the reasons the name changes have been suggested. It would be out of place with the stories that have already been written. Unless 1d4chan was changed?

Also, faith is not necessarily religious. One can have faith in a friend. One can have faith in one's self. I would disagree with that name change.

As for the daughter of Cruze I care but little. However, the names were chosen in a fairly ad hoc manner and having a few names that were not out of place with actual current names may have been somewhat intentional.

Just my two cents.

>>52849527
yes, you're going down a dark, dark path that will eventually end with you being named an anon of...knights. the newest knight anon if you will.

unless you're going against mechanicum or custodes players because they have more toys to deal with it.

>>52849551
>It would be out of place with the stories that have already been written.
Exactly why I didn't change them myself, and didn't think anyone else would either. It was really more of a rant on how dumb I thought some of the names were.

And while "faith" doesn't necessarily refer to religion, it's the most common definition used and almost certainly the one behind her name. I still think, even if that usage had fallen out of favor by the time the daughters happened, the Emperor would get triggered by it. ESPECIALLY when considering who her father was.

At the time, it looked like the old stigma attached to the PD universe was finally faded enough that a new breed of people were coming in, and it was as good a time as any for a few corrections. What you said resonated enough that after a brief discussion a few of the old hands agreed those changes were worth pursuing. And yes, all the names throughout the stories have been updated to the new names, except for where no permission was given to correct (Read: All the 'big' stories, the 50,000+ word ones).

Does shoulder pads have to match the armor? I love Mk3 pads but prefer Mk4 armor. Not sure how this 'mismatch' gonna anger people.

8th Edition FAQ:
"What happens to my codexes?
The rules in our current range of Warhammer 40,000 codexes aren’t compatible with the new edition of Warhammer 40,000."

"**A few of you might be wondering how the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 affects Forge World’s Horus Heresy rules and army lists. Well, for the moment, it won’t! You can carry on using the existing Warhammer 40,000 ruleset for your Horus Heresy games."

Are they telling us that 40k uses 7th edition core rules and red book rules, while 40k will move to new core rules and new army rules (most likely having changed unit stats)?

What else is known about the Ordo Sinister other then there are upwards of 25>= created, they were present at Prospero and curbstomped the psi-titans of the 1ksons, and are scarier than any 5 legions put together?

>>52840939
Fem-Mortarion when?

>>52846650
>40K is more powerful than 30K?
At this point, on an order of magnitude.
Almost every elite, MC, warlord and heavy support has built in access to AP2, S6 or better, or straight up D strength gear, on a 2+4++/T6/W5+ or better chasis.
Example? Spear custodes in 30k are Ap2/3, with a psuedo-fearless that doesn't apply to any like themselves.
In 40k, they are straight up fearless, and can grant it to units via USR, and are always AP2.
Only the most WAAC Admech/Custode/select legion army can throw down with even a non balls to the wall 40k tourney list.

>>52851981
well for starters there's only 20 of them, organised into 4 chambers of 5 psi-tians, and they fought a demi legio from the 1kson's allied forge world, the son's diddn't have any psi-titans.

oh yeah, if you're referring to the possed warlord, they didn't fight that either.

I thought the demi legio from the forge world included psi-titans, as that was their big advancement made with Magnus' aid, and that is why Legio Mortis got stomped so hard the Ordo Sinister had to step in.

not quite, they were special titans, using "black iron" cores, but I don't think they were full psi-titans, just enhanced.

iirc they could 'channel the expereince' of previous crew members and operate more efficently, but they couldn't do the crazy shit that the Ordo Sinister psi-titans can with psi-weapons and self healing.

If I were to use the with the Las-pulsar I'd probably drill them out and replace them with something longer like autocannon barrels.

Are 'standarised tactical markings' in 30k same as 40k Space Marines one? If they're different, where can I find them?

>>52853144

The Lascannons from the Mechanicus Ironstrider would be a perfect size and fairly ornate. Should be easy to find too, because the vast majority of Ironstriders are built as Dragoons rather than Ballistarius.

Also, have 'crux' icons (similar to Indomitus shoulder pad icon) been used in 30k as well?

>Even as Angron smashed into the Gal Vorbak, crippling three before they could even swing, vengeance was coming from the sky.

>The Ashen Circle had heard the call, and they would not be found wanting. Power axes casting bright streaks across the sky, jump packs coughing dark fumes, the Iconoclast and his men began their burning descent into the fray of battle. One World Eater was burned alive, cooking inside of his armor before the Iconoclast landed on top of him with the crunch of crumpled ceramite.

>Hand flamers came up, pilot lights flickering into existence, before the breath of dragons washed over Kharn and his squad, bathing them in chemical death. The disorganized World Eaters burned, ceramite melting off in slags under the intense heat;a death that was immeasurably painful. Yet this was not the worst to come; that title belonged to the phosphex grenade which exploded across their feet, bathing them in the most purifying weapon a Legion could deploy. Most died screaming; some died reaching for the Ashen Circle with their chainaxes.

>Kharn came barreling out of the fire, pauldrons still alive with the fire of phosphex, his Cutter held by his side. The Iconoclast and his squad raised their flamers again as the World Eaters charged, laying waste to another three before they finally connected with the screaming Eighth Legion. Kharn cut through five in quick succession, brutal, murderous strikes that left no mercy for the Word Bearers. The Iconoclast died choking on the barrel of his hand flamer, his helmet smashed open and his innards cooked to a crisp. Though many World Eaters were dead, there were too many to deal with. One by one, the Ashen Circle succumbed to the rage of the blood-maddened warriors, power axes falling from twitching fingers, prayers whispered with their last breaths.

>Lorgar braced against Angron's charge, Illuminarum coming up to grind against his two, revving chainaxes. Blood, the blood of his Legion, spattered onto his face. He grimaced, pouring his psychic will into holding ground, yet could not prevent his boots from carving furrows into the ground as he slid backwards.

>"This ends. Now."

>Lorgar disengaged, paying the price with a ripping blow that rent his armor open to the air. Blood leaked down his side as he staggered away, Illuminarum coming up to smash into his brother's pauldron, destroying the World Eaters heraldry there. He could hear the rest of his men holding off the impending World Eaters assault; no matter, he was fighting for his life. The rest of the Gal Vorbak rushed in, claws slashing at the primarch while Lorgar brought his mace into position again. With the primarch's retinue slain, Angron was alone, and there was nothing he could do to so many esteemed warriors even as he cut down two more with reaping blows.

>"I gave you your chance, Angron," Lorgar shook his head, "Do not think that I wanted to do this."

>Lorgar parried the blows, taking another wound to his arm. He felt something break. His brother smashed against his guard again and again, sparks flying with every blow; Lorgar decided he was finished with this. Illuminarum rang like a church bell, staving in his brother's chestplate. The second blow obliterated the right side of his face, laying it bare to the bone.

>Angron collapsed in a heap of abused ceramite, axes finally dropping from his bloodstained hands.

I'm too used to the most common choppy voulge shape, but based on construction it technically would count like a voulge.

>>52854930
No they're not you big silly. There have been loads of current-scale marines in pics on the new 40k site. Hell, every image of the new marines also has current kits in the same photo.

>>52855230
Not that anon, but what's wrong with saying the paint is thick using thicc?
>You're actually referring to shitting up the thread by posting models :^)

>>52855268
Because it feels like the same poster every day just saying THICC with no additional information.

it's like saying lel with no additional info. It's a pointless post.

if you want to criticise that model you could say

>It seems he's got the wash everywhere but the cracks of the model. I dont understand how that's even possible with wash paint which breaks surface tension and tries to find the cracks. it's like the models been lightly swiped with puddle water.

From the looks of it, those new marines are just regular marines who are all wearing proper MK VIII Errant armour. Meaning no, your marines will not actually be outdated soon.

People are just panicing way too much about all the leaks and announcement. We barely have any real information for crying out loud, yet people are jumping to conclusions. Just wait untill things are released and you have seen everything with your own eyes, rather than start burning all your models in a fit of rage right now.

>>52856091
The Skitarii are the Martian Legions, doesn't mean that they're only ever on Mars. No other Forge World has any, although they may have a similar military force, so the ones in Know No Fear are Martian Skittles assigned there.

Either way I'm recasting some legs for my mk 3 Death Guard from them. I want some giant marines as a power armoured elite. ( no extra adornment, just fuckbig). Pic related.

So is Angelus going to be 8th ed or 7th ed? And if it's 7th ed, how long until Angelus will be useless?

>>52856222

Okay so Mark 8 chest plates are handed out as an honour by many chapters.

Mark 8 armour includes some other little asthetic changes, most notably disc things on the ankles. Deathwatch veteran armour is full Mark 8.

This new stuff is however rumoured to be Mark 9.

>>52856231
They might actually not be much larger at all. Just compare the hight of the marines to the paint pot, then compare a normal marine to one of your own paints. They're probably 1-2 mm taller at most, which could easily be explained by the lack of squatting (like Deathwatch marines)

>>52856202
>Malcador?
Ordo Sinister, don't shit on the bff of big E like that.

>>52856312
I'm not really that worried about it, I just wish there was more information out there.

>>52856355

Deathwatch marines and thousand sons are actually marginally taller in terms of limb length, but it's by a barely noticable ammount. They aren't so much in a different scale as they have slightly tweaked proportions to fit in with existing lines but still look a little more proportionate than before.

It's subtle, and I kinda both like the effect and applaud them for making it so slight. These dudes are probably going to be the same when we see them for real.

Besides Terra, do we have any examples of IF non-ship-to-ship sieges? IIRC, the wall of Jericho was screamed away by the Mechanicum, instead of by the Fists.

>>52856353
>Mufasa
You're meant to shudder when you say Mufasa?
But that makes sense, though I meant 'Malcador and all the secretive guys he commands, like the assassins and SoS' - I'd forgotten about the titans, but meant no disrespect >>52856364

Having not read many of the story books, are there any where the Mechanicum wins outright or does badass stuff? DarkMech or Loyalists, whatever. I'm just bitter about seeing them get curbstomped all the time after Forge of Mars, Iron Warriors and Master of Mankind, Land's awesomeness aside.
The armies of exceptionally coordinated, extremely expendable and individually powerful troops led by cyborgs with their consciousnesses expanded beyond regular human limits should win SOME victories, right? Or is this just the usual Marine-wank protagonist thing again?

>>52856745
There's Xana after Scoria takes over.

>>52856758
Did they win? I thought they were effortlessly defeated by the Dark Angels going all Operator on them. Did think the Matrix-Sentinel style space fleet was pretty damned cool, though.

>>52856745
I think the problem that a lot of mechanicum dudes surgically remove their emotional capacity (or something) to make them more efficient in their work, but as a result they end up being pretty boring as characters. You may view the marine protaganists as wanky, but they're a hell of a lot easier to characterise so that's what the BL authors mostly go with.

>>52856905
Eventually they won. Scoria set the robos to overdrive and all the marines were stumbling over themselves to get off the planet.

True, but I always imagined it as a curve. They start off normal, suppress their emotions as they rise through Adept, Auxilia and Magos and then regain them going up through High Magos and Archmagos. You see a lot of AdMech protagonists in the Forge of Mars books showing emotion freely, even when their subordinates don't. Think it's similar to the "getting away with near Tech-Heresy" thing, if they've reached that rank they clearly know what they're doing and damn their methods.

>>52856955

Nice, good to know he got revenge. We need him to show up again, maybe at Terra or Mars. Have him throw down with Kelbor-Hai or possibly put a Primarch in his place with bullshit and cheating, as is proper for an Archmagos in these situations. Or maybe a pupative Cawl.

That's right, Mechanicums do have emotions. It's only that most of the time they say them in binary, and after several centuries their sense of humour is only tangentially related to those of regular mortals.
Since BL authors are mostly mortal-like, sometimes they have problems conveying their feelings.
Here both Pavelka and Linya are Magos, and in fact Linya is very pretty, while most of Pavelka's remaining feminity is on her voice, IIRC.

How good is anti-air provided by Dreads usually? I want to pick up a Lightning for my Mechanicum, but looking at all the Dreadnoughts getting plenty of free Skyfire and Interceptor it looks like it'll never get to FIRE ZE MISSILES. Bit miffed Mechanicum has no units that can do that, unless I'm missing something.

A shame the larger stories couldn't be changed, those were typically the best ones. I'm the one who suggested the name changes and CleverestPun, that one faggot who said they'd start writing new content and never got around to it. I've not been seeing a whole of support for Warhammer High to be honest, just a few people here and there and I've been busy with life. Though to be fair, I haven't really seen much hate for it either, and I might still pick it up.

>>52857827
It would perhaps be easier if they had a cast with less random Marines and other factions in, so they could have binary being more of a standard method of communication and actual familiarity between Admech characters from their PoV.
I've several times been told by people from cultures with less sarcasm than Britain that we all look like we're ripping into each other all the time, I suppose it may be much the same thing.

I've never actually had that happen, and I try to cast Cybertheurgy as much as possible.

Yeah, Infiltrate isn't really a thing for a melee unit with 15" range guns. Infiltrate 18" away, no Scout to get closer, then walk 6" and fire Volkites. You can only kill up to 3" of enemy models, which is going to be a bare handful of guys at the very best, and then sit there and get your ass shot off by whoever you're fighting's superior range.

Stick 'em in Dreadclaws, you appear turn 1, Jink for 3+ cover on an AV12 vehicle making you pretty insanely tough for 115pts, then disembark, shoot and charge. Regular Drop Pods are okay, they're way cheaper, but I used them once before everyone just bought Augury Scanners on everyone that could take one and killed that idea.

It's pretty awful tbqhfamalanalanallama. Squads with schizophrenic loadouts, (generally decide what you want a squad to do and set them up to do that one thing,) infantry units without either added manoeuvrability (transports) or survivability (special saves and/or apothecaries) who will just get shot in the face as they trundle slowly across the field, not enough anti-tank, (including nowhere near enough anti-AV14,) no anti-air whatsoever, no real way to counter the LOW you'll almost certainly face at 3000 points. Oh, and barely any of your selections get any bonuses from their legion rules. Sorry m8, but if you wanted people to pull punches you shouldn't have asked here.

Maybe condense down to the 2 legions you like most out of those 3? I feel trying to shoehorn one choice from each legion into each section of the force organisation charts (as you seem to be doing) isn't leaving you enough room to hammer things into any sort of shape.

Oh, and if you go over the post limit, that's generally a hint that your formatting is fucking awful and you should sort that out.
