Reposting from last thread.

>The more I look at it the more I think Tyranids are not as strong as people were initially saying. I think nids were just so used to being shit for so long that every single buff immediately jumped out at them and looked great, but they need them just to stay afloat, it doesn't look like it's actually pushing them to the top necessarily.

>Now this is just in terms of pure fighty value. They might turn out to be sick good at the objective game or something, but I don't think nids are going to be tabling other armies in 2-3 turns like the alarmists are crying about.

>If anything, it's Ork Boyz tabling you that you need to worry about. Carnifexes aren't really gonna do shit.

Plasma devs seem worth it now if you babysit them with a character providing rerolls. A primaris or chapter ancient for that sweet "shoot or fight before you die" allowing double shots even if they melt themselves could be extra good. opinions?

Custodes. I've played termie and walker heavy Iron Warriors for a few years now, but when BoP came out I picked up a few Custodes and I quite enjoyed painting them. After Talons came out I ended up with three Land Raiders, a couple of Contemptors and some more general Custodes.

I've always been a fan of elite units charging into battle. I've always tried to bring a LR with four termies and a lord despite it being pretty noncompetitive (until now?). Now I can't even fit a Lord in a Raider. The Custodes on the other hand can ride into combat in their gilded shagging wagons. I love the Contemptor model and the overall feel of a very small model count super elite army.

The rules have hurt them pretty badly thanks to losing Deep Strike. But I've decided I don't really care. I'll run my dudes as best I can and hope we get some good stuff from a Codex in the future.

looking forward to playing my Raven Guard. they may have taken my chapter tactics for now but I will adapt. Strike, Fade, and Strike again!

memeposting aside, Shrike finally got the chapter master tag and seems to be worth actually fielding because of the ability to reroll charges with JP units nearby. This makes the chances of getting into melee with those units on arrival go from 27% to about 53% so just over 50/50 for first turn charges. Feelsgoodman

How do Inquisitorial detachments work? Do you just do Vanguard? Also how do Death Cults and Officio Assassinorum work? Do they count towards the Vanguard detachment?

>>53579363
You know, I may give tau a shot. Always liked them, but scared off by the stigma around them. They still seem decent, but with melee armies being faster it should be an interesting challenge. Also, I have a massive fetish for railguns, and they seem actually good this edition.

>>53579363
Blood Angels

>>53579517
I think the feeling right now is that all the toxic Tau player are dropping Tau, so it should be safe.

>>53579363
Tau.
I'm making molds of the fire warrior guns and giving them to IG to act as human auxiliaries.

>>53579363
Pretty much the same shit I was doing in 7th for my Guard. The biggest difference would be Bullgryn with Slab and Power Mauls. Also the inclusion of Mortar HWS.

I probably will get more Scions too and now that I've built Celestine and some Sisters of Silence I'll probably start running them mixed with some Inquisition.

>>53579363
I got my Orks and am starting up some Ultramarines.

Anon who plays this game because they like it?

>>53579500
True, but an anon who claims to have the book told me that page does not mention DS (Someone wouldn't lie on the internet, would they?). I'm not really sure what they could add to replace it.

I find it kind of odd that we don't have it desu. With 'From Golden Light They Come' we only rolled a single die for scattering and even our Dread could DS.

>>53579487
With a bit of creative modelling, it will be.

>>53579551
>Dust off my necromunda stuff
what necromunda stuff do you have anon?

Damn, I really need to rework everything.
I run trukk heavy, so aside from adjusting to the new points, I also have to consider stocking up on boys again, since now it make sense to field more than the bare 10.
Might also move away from power klaws to save some points here and there.
And if I understand the BW correctly, I can field lootas and flash gitz in it and they can move and shoot without the -1?

And there is no fix to hit on 6, right? If an ork gets -2 on his to hit roll, he can't hit the target at all?

>Moving a shooting a heavy weapon incurs a -1 to hit penalty
>EVEN VEHICLES AND TERMINATORS

Great. So not only have vehicles and terminators gotten more expensive, and slower. Now they can't even move and shoot effectively.

GG GW thanks for yet another terminator nerf.

>>53579363
I'll continue expanding my orks, they've been my main army since I started playing 15 years ago.
I'm also eyeballing an IG tank company, even though Leman Russes are of questionable value now, just because I like tanks and I won't have to paint too many models to field it.

>>53579363
Splitting the Dark Imperium box with a friend, taking the Primaris Marines and playing Ultramarines.

Any suggestions on how to turn a bubblechucka into something else?

>>53579363
I started dark eldar when the gangs box came out, and i fucking love painting the models, so them.

>>53579579
Everyone complained that half of their shit was dying turn 1 from shooting so they made everything durable. They made cover worse because it was total cancer in 7th. So to add to everything being more durable they also made things harder to hit. I love it. It will not be games of tabling on turn 3, it will be wars of attrition where all your units are doing something every turn.

>>53579579
It's much better than "if the vehicle moves at X speed it can only fire Y number of guns." The new rules are generally less restrictive.

>>53579363
Expanding on my orks with a bigmek on bike first.
Still got some flash gitz to finish and a bunch of other orks to repaint.

>>53579579
Yeah -1 to hit with your auto-hitting heavy flamer and your assault cannon which has 2 more shots now is such a nerf.

It's not like Terminators also got perfect reliable deep strike and double the shots on their stormbolters and double the wounds now either.

But hey, DA Techmarines can take Conversion Beamers for now! And apothecaries can heal anyone.

Sticking to Renegades/Guard, I've got Raging Heroes Sisters coming at some point so there will be that. Until Forgworld books hit I'm looking at this for a guard list.

Battalion
Tank Commander (Battle Cannon, 3x HBolter)[213]
Tank Commander (Battle Cannon, 3x HBolter)[213]

Commissar (Bolt Pistol) [31]
Infantry Squad (Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher)[65]
Infantry Squad (Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher)[65]
Infantry Squad (Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher)[65]

Heavy Weapon Squad (3x Lascannon) [72]
Heavy Weapon Squad (3x Lascannon) [72]

Valkyrie (Lascannon, Hellstrike Missiles) [170]
Valkyrie (Lascannon, Hellstrike Missiles) [170]

Vet Squad (3xPlasma Gun, Plasma Pistol, Shotguns)[86]
Vet Squad (3xPlasma Gun, Plasma Pistol, Shotguns)[86]


Fortification Network
Imperial Bastion (4x HBolter)[192]

Total 1500

Heavy weapon squads go inside the Bastion, I could even fit in one more group of them and still shoot everything. It will feel good to have a reason to finish my Valkyries, I hated the fact that as flyers they needed to be kept in reserve.

>>53579363
Mix of Scions and Custodes
Going to add SoB to the mix if they get a plastic release (which they may get in the form of a boxed game i predict)

>>53579363
I have 15,000 points of Eldar. So them.
I also have about 1500 in Nids so maybe play some games with them for fun.

And 500 in sisters but I can't afford more metal bullshit

>>53579363
this one
>>53579643
pls r8

>>53579663
I'd love to see the HH stuff in 40k. If any army should still have their stuff from the Great Crusade it would be the Custodes. Although I'm not so sure I'm up to the task of paint those gorgeous Dreadnoughts.

Couple questions about flyers in 8th edition:
>Do they still start in reserve and fly onto the board, or do you just deploy them normally?
>Can you fire in any direction as long as you can draw LoS from the gun?
>Do they get a cover save from being in a terrain feature?

>>53579363
I am an Emperor's Children player, but for the 8th I'm going to put them on a shelf for a while and go mono-Slaaneshi Daemons

>>53579732
>I have 15,000 points of Eldar. So them.
but why not add to that eldar with harlequins and deldar!

>>53579736
sorry I don't know anything about Dark Angels :p

>>53579632
>double the wounds now either.
which doesn't matter given how many weapons do multiple damage a shot.

>>53579772
I mean, at this point you could rate it as an SM list.

>>53579363

How do you guys make yours?

>>53579451
>>53579479
I hope someone near me decides to sell some in not to awfully painted/built, always wanted a Mobile Infantry themed army and lets face it, Crisis suits do the job so much better than any Marine that it's just sad.

Bonus for being able to use Kroot, Vespid and all those railgun units.

>>53579451
>have to use normalfag book to try and get a deal

>>53579796
the only thing that sticks out to me right now are the conversion beamers (i used to take them with the inquisition) - They are worthless because you are rarely move than 72" from a visable target, unless you are on an absolutely huge table

>There are currently 28,975 listings for "Tau" on Ebay
>Ebay has recorded a total of 7,026 sold listings for "Tau" all time

>>53579744
For the last one, i think you need to be obscured by the terrain unless youre infantry

>>53579744
Disregard anything you remember from 7th edition.
Read the 8th edition rules

Spoonfeeding answer:
they deploy normally unless otherwise stated in the fliers datasheet
the datasheet will tell you if they have special movement restrictions
only if they are 50% obscured.

They are like every other vehicle now, just very fast with a minimum move. Some have special rules that limit their turning that's about it. Check the data sheet for the flyer in question.

So in general

-Nothing is forced to start in reserves. Even a drop pod can start deployed on the table.
-Line of sight is not from the gun but any part of the hull for any gun

Haven't been following the spoilers too much, how's CSM looking this edition? I know that we lost the chapter tactics we just got back and marks do the same as in AoS

>>53579487
By that logic, a Monolith will never be able to shoot anything because it does not have a viewport.

The rules as stated say "if unsure, stoop down behind the shooting model." What does stooping mean? How many inches away do you have to be behind the tank to determine if it can see? What happens if the vehicle is so big that getting behind it conceals vision to the other model?

All this could have been solved with "measure LOS from the weapon being fired for units that do not have the Infantry Keyword" or something simple like that. But no...

>>53579846
>Why would GW choose them as their bad guy faction for the starter?

Because Guilliman's being a beacon for hope and change in a stagnant empire.
Enter champions of entropy and stagnation.

Not hard.

does anyone know the base size for the nurgle stuff in the starter box? I am pretty sure the poxwalkers come on 25mm bases and the plague marines + malignant plaguecaster are on 32mm bases. The Noxious Blightbringer looks like he is on 40mm. But as far as the Lord of contagion and the foetid bloat-drone look like they are on 50mm and 60mm respectively. Can anyone confirm or correct me if I am wrong

Are you retarded? 90% of the weapons that do multidamage would have insta-killed you before anyways, now you have a chance to survive it, and you're twice as survivable against tons of small arms fire which was what everyone complained about was killing Termies last edition.

So how viable will this be on the table in 8th?

Also, how does battleshock work with squadroned walkers like Kans if they start loosing walkers in the unit?

Or how does that work with Dreadnought talons for that matter?

Has the fact that Death Guard cannot have Terminators, despite 4 of their HQs wearing it, been discussed?

I'm more confused than anything. Their 2 unique units in HH are terminators for fucks sake.

I'm feel really grateful for the group I have. None of us have ever had competitive armies. Our one Tau player has a single Riptide that he has never used with us. I always figured WAAC fags were a somewhat rare breed relegated to tournaments. If those numbers are anything to go by it would seem they are epidemic.

>>53579944
the part I like is that the 2+ is no longer "extremely good" or "completely irrelevent" with no in between.
2+ saves were so good that either armies with little access to ap2 felt like they couldn't do shit, and other armies to compensate had so much ap2 that the armor felt useless.

Now more guns feel worth shooting at them (over just tones of small arms fire), and even against the better guns the termi will likely still have a 3+ or 4+ save especially if in cover. They'll still want the 5+ invuln against meltaguns, but they have that and it feels right.

Greenpill me on Orks, are they better than Chaos space marines?

No, they're the least popular god-specific faction. Khorne is the most popular, though Tzeentch has been rising due to the new models, and some people love Slaanesh. I've never met anyone who plays Nurgle in almost 15 years.
I guess they're trying to bring them into the mix, but being the gross-out booger faction isn't appealing to many people. I think it was a mistake, personally.

>>53580033
Yeah it's pretty sweet. You can fit waayyy more troopers in a scion list now

Well, Penitent Engines sold out pretty quick on the GW website. Unless they were sold out before, it could be that people are placing their bets on them as power-units in melee this edition.

Doesn't bode well for me, who just wants one for a Witchhunter Inq28 warband. I'll have to snipe some off the Email Me alerts when they hit the store again.

Hell, if the demand is real we could see a plastic kit in the future.

Ok

>>53580032
Tau are the mid-tier kings, maximum effect for minimum effort, ignoring rules, skill and luck and normally not taking any significant casualties until turn 3.

Basic stuff.

is boneswords and spinefists with glands best loadout for melee warriors? toxin sacs if points to spare

>>53580075

By BS/WS 4, do you mean 4+ or 3+? Because now it works like saves where you have to roll over/equal to, rather than under.

>>53580117
Not sure to be honest. Some think it's because they don't have models and that now Scions are troops. Guess they didn't want to overload the troop section, but they instead overloaded the elite section.

>>53580061
11 here

>>53580121
it's infantry, just heavy armed

>>53580008
It's just so fucking contrived. I can just take another elite detachment and HQ for a group of terminators, but it just feels so tacked on.

>>53579984
I was considering something similar myself. Only big meks with KFFs for HQ, fill the rest out with Gorkanauts, a few Deff Dreads, and the rest being swarms of Killa Kans for "troops."
And they take battleshock just like anyone else, but small unit size means it's unlikely to ever become a serious threat.

>want to run 60 Seraphim
>look at price
>$110 for 10

>>53580092
Being at the top of power rankings in skilled, competitive environments is different from being at the top of rankings in unskilled competitive environments. Looking at most fighting games you'll see a tier list, but it changes based upon the skill level of the players. Tau is probably best for babby's-first-point-and-shoot army.

>>53580061
It's generally when GW stores wherever you are in the world open, so usually 9-10am local time for whatever country you've got the GW webstore set to. If you just want to check out what's available & look at the pretty pictures it should all be up on the NZ site in about 50 minutes.

>>53580076
I'm pretty sure they can, but on small units, especially high wound ones, it's a minor risk.
A six kan unit might be a risk, but on a 3 kans you're basically getting a 1/6 chance to lose a kan twice in the game. Assuming they don't just get whipped in one turn.

>>53580146
it's because it is.

>>53580145
kanz are not infantry on the data sheet, they're listed as vehicles.

>>53579503

Inquisitors can just show up in any imperial army, same with every other imperial unit. They do not require a separate detachment.

Only for your really focused lists that use formations and psychic power abuse.

An average marine player who just has a random smattering of infantry and transports is going to be at a disadvantage against an average Tau player that does the basic tactics of 'deep strike fusion crisis suits', 'bring markerlights', and 'bring riptide'

Also plasma pistols on the Tempestor are perfectly viable at 5 points a pop.

>>53580075

I play inquisition (with inquisitorial stormtroopers of course) and comparing acolytes to storm troopers is a dumb idea.

Storm troopers are good because they deep strike and have cheap BS3+ special weapons.

Acolytes are good because they have 2 attacks each, 3 wounds and can take crazy wargear.

So 10 acolytes with hotshot lasguns fucking suck.

10 acolytes with power mauls and plasma pistols jumping out of a valkyrie with their inquisitor? Pretty fuckin viable.

>>53580177
Common sense and 40k doesn't always happen. Look at how long it took GW to FAQ drop pod doors. Look at 5th edition FAQs also. They had to FAQ that Deffrollas can be used on vehicles because sperglords argued "Ramming is a form of Tank shock" meant "Ramming is not tank shock", and that Doom of Malan'tai did not have an Invulnerable Save because the rules for Warp Fields state that "Zoanthroapes with a Warp Field have a 3+ Invulnerable save." And there was a RAW fight on dakka about whether a Rhino could carry Njal while he was wearing *Runic* Terminator Armor.

All it took was one "measure from the weapons" clause.

Otherwise, they are going to put out some Indexes of their own which will cover everything in their range as well as a number of things they've stopped producing.

> 3 x Deff Dreads

> 1 x Morkanaut

> 1 x Wazzbomma

> 2 x squad of War Bikers

> 1 x squad of max Lootas

> 3 x Mek Gunz

> 1 x Big Mek on a bike with a KFF.

> 1 x Weird Boy (goes with the Lootas)

> 1 x Big Mek with Mega Armor and the Tellyporta.


However, I'm not sure all of that together makes a good army. I really just want to do a Mek themed army, but I'm not sure if that'd be too OP or not.

>>53579922
seriously.....this kind of thinking is the cancer that is killing the fun aspect of wargaming.

it is crystal fucking clear what the intention behind the wording is......dont be a turbo autist.

they want you to bend down to where your head is about even with the model and just look......does it appear that the gun in question shoot at its intended target? if yes, you can....if you cannot see it then chances are it should not be able to shoot at the target. dont be "that guy" GW shouldnt have to hold our hands....we arent children....though maybe you are since you made this absolutely ludicrous argument

needing to spell out "measure LOS from the weapon being fire....." is NOT NECESSARY......we are fully capable of not being edgelords just because they DONT say it

In fact the Land Raider fired all its weapons in overwatch against a unit that charged it from behind, how retarded is that.

>>53580424
>a troop transport that can't carry troops, a reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance, and a quasi-tank that has less armor than a snowblower, but has enough ammo to take out half of Macragge.

I'm pretty sure Tyranids once again have the most broken entries in need of FAQ out of any Faction.

They have weapons that are strictly mathematically worse in every given situation for the points, special rules that create weird issues, missing entries for points, missing entries for wargear, it's a mess.

>>53579363

Mostly foot guard with light vehicles. Very closely eying the potential of Plasma Scions/Sentinels scooting around with Yarrick since he gives everyone around him reroll ones to hit. Maybe throw in some Astropaths for 15 point ignore cover plus a psyker power.

>>53579426
Weird that nobody has had any problems with non-Vehicles firing that way for a while. Also, if you can "see" the enemy, they can see you.

>>53580526
in 7th edition, it was commonly suggested you be able to hit with strength y AP x weapons, in order to hit the most common units in the most common factions. I can't remember the numbers exactly, because I never made it past army list theory crafting.

Is there any way to keep the Big Mek from getting sniped? I heard that's one of the biggest banes of characters in 8th now.

Also, I'm not sure I'd put the KFF on the Wazzbomma given it's got the 5++ chaff launcher. A KFF would also mean there is a chance it's giving the enemy an Invulnerable if it's near them or over them.

Curious, but what's the difference between those two now aside from armament?

And has the Meta changed where the Gorkanaut is more wanted than the Morkanaut is now?

how??

Played my first 2k game of 8th last night - Orks vs. Eldar/Dark Eldar. I must say as a wole I really enjoyed the game - it still felt a lot like 40k but without as many really clunky rules interactions.

>>53580539
Well the objective is to either rocket the genestealers using the swarmlord and other movement buffs or have them burrow with the tervigon, the broodlord won't be around to give the bonus

>>53580520

Would be neat if they broke it down a couple of ways. Looted Vehicles could be looted from different factions, and each gives the base Looted profile some enhancements.

Off the top of my head, I'd say Astra Militarum, Space Marine, and Tau units would make good profiles for looting, probably basing these off their basic transports and kitting them with a selection of Orky options for customization. Not sure about Eldar, Necrons, Tyranids, and other factions, but hey three common factions with basic vehicles to loot from would make a good starting point.

They'll obviously bandwagon to the next nobrainer bullshit that is 8e nids.

i havent really payed attention
how do dark eldar look with the new edition?

>>53580563
LOS works both ways but cover doesn't. Clearly the Land Raider is in cover.

>>53580674

You have no idea how badly I want one of these sexy beasts.

>>53579632
Lol exactly.

Double the shots from storm bolters, more shots from assault cannon, auto hits on flamers, perfect deep strike, double wounds

Hits on a -1 is hueg nerf tho amirite

>>53580523
have you not noticed that despite the ppl playing these games on warhammer tv being somehow affiliated with gw they have constantly gotten rules wrong in almost every game they have ever played online. GW is notorious for getting THEIR own rules wrong. They just design and market these games....the real players, ppl who actually spend not only their money but large quantities of their time and brainpower on this game...ppl that the game actually means something to.... those ppl (like myself and many others here in this thread) know the rules far better than GW employees do. this is no different

Good news everyone. The relic is still the worst mission ever created and it's even worse.

>>53580632
>Is there any way to keep the Big Mek from getting sniped? I heard that's one of the biggest banes of characters in 8th now.

By actual snipers or just in general? As you can't target characters that are too close to infantry squads except with very specific weapons.

>>53580577
well that's not a thing this edition.
anything can wound anything, and AP is not a sliding scale rather than all or nothing. (these are both good things).

That said, S6 lets you wound t3 on 2+ and S8 lets you wound t4 on 2+.

most vehicles (and monster) have a 3+ save, and t6-8. so anti vehicle weapons will want to be ap-2 at least probably -3. Do to the way wounds work now S4 to s6 are pretty much the same vs most vehicles. as is s9+.

The multiple wound thing is going to make all that more complicated.

So /tg/, how do plan to keep track of all these multi-wound models?

>>53580632
>there is a chance it's giving the enemy an Invulnerable if it's near them or over them.
That's not how KFF works. All Ork units within 6" of the base of the model get a 5++ versus shooting attacks, simple as that.

>>53580685
You mean just like before? Wow, who would've thunk it?

So would now be a good time to get into 40k?

>>53579819
Holy fuck my sides

>>53580640
Well my idea was to have the Zoanthropes go in with the Trygon and to walk the Genestealers up the field. I just want to watch them delete units.

>>53580632
>Is there any way to keep the Big Mek from getting sniped?

Keep him entirely out of LoS from the snipers. There are bodyguard style units in the game that can basically "look out sir" for characters, but I don't think Orks have one of them.

>>53580730
>All Ork units within 6" of the base of the model get a 5++ versus shooting attacks, simple as that.
That's not how KFF works. All Ork units entirely within 9" of the base of the model get a 5++ versus shooting attacks, simple as that.

It isn't hard - just use dice and in units you're pulling whole models so.

You can make out laurels on the head, so I'd say it's a safe assumption that it's a bust of Guilliman the chaingang is pulling.

>>53580744
Why the zoans? They'll get obliterated. You want them only within range of heavy weapons that aren't worth targeting them. That way if they do you can still make use of the neurothrope healing.

Ork boyz: choppa or shoota? Does the answer change if they have a chauffeur?

Thanks oh great and powerful... non-newfags? We should make a word for that!

There are typos and the 40k logo and the aquila are off center. Also, "opening ceremonies" sounds funny

So if a stealthsuit takes a multitracker, does it always get re-rolls of 1 to hit considering it only has 1 weapon?

>>53580632
>Curious, but what's the difference between those two now aside from armament?

gorkanaut got 6 attacks. morkanaut got 4. morkanaut can get kff.

gorkanaut is really fucking good in cc. like scary good. they both seem decent i think

Finally broke down and got one of these bad boys coming. She's 194pts with the missiles. The question is void lances or scythe? I'm leaning on the Void lance because it's better than a lascannon.

>>53580798
Also, its entirely within.
just means its harder to cover a ton of units.

>>53580832
I'm dumb.

>>53580662
Fool. This was the grand opportunity to fix all that.
guard can keep their co-axial weapons, it has no place in the SM armory
also I have nothing against countermeasures if they look good

>>53580733
Yes.

>>53580835
Yeah, but I think that's mainly the case because everyone else got nerfed down to our level for the most part, and a few targeted buffs.

Some units I'm struggling to see the point of, it's not the magic ideal "every unit viable" situation people were thinking it was.

>>53580638
But who won? How did each faction perform.

>>53580811
yes

>>53580762

I dont see the link. What is it labeled as?

Has the profile for the Volcano cannon be released yet?

>>53580880
Heavy d6, s16, ap-4, damage2d6

Its hilariously amazing

>>53580797
I would probably want shootas on a 30 boy blob that I save for da jump, because they only have ~52% chance of making their charge that turn and I'd want them to be able to have done something even if they fail the charge.

The coverage that trukks give to help you charge is probably best for slugga boyz, since drive by shooting is best left to more elite boyz like tankbustas or flashgitz rather than plain shoota boyz.

>>53580880
S16, AP-5, 2d6 damage, reroll failed To-Wound against Titanic keywords

>>53580852
Nothing stops you from leaving all the stuff you don't like off.

I, for one, hope those turret missile pods are separate pieces, so I can put them on my Guard tanks as smoke launchers/fire barrels (or the equivalent, whatever it might be) or just use them as the close combat attacks by having the tank launch fragmentation bombs around it.

How is this list?

So basically I'm planning to have the tech marines sit back with the predators and keep them up. Tactical squads pop vehicles to expose infantry to the massive amount of fire from the predators. Acolytes just help clean stuff up and are pretty durable.

Dope. ATS isn't the automatic go-to system for them then. ATS is kinda wasted on fusions but it's heaven for the burst cannons. Testing out a drone controller on the shas'vre to see marker drone efficiency.

>>53580762

Do Assault 2 gun only fire 2 shots on assault or all the time?

>>53580846
Probably scythes for me. The void lance is only slightly better than a dark lance, which you should have plenty of anyway. Whereas the dark scythe is potentially considerably better than the disintegrator cannon, and kind of does a job nothing else in the army does.

>>53580846
I'd say scythe, but I'm not sure how to rate the range difference.
Without the range the scythe is better in most situations. outside of the few t8 heavies they will both wound on the same rolls.
and d3 attacks d3 damage comes out to average of 4 times hit and wound chance.
1 attack d6 damage is 3.5 times hit+wound chance.
And that's vs high wound models. If your going against 1-2 wound models the extra wounds from the lance get wasted, so the sycthe is better.

>>53580934

"Wroom wroom, beep beep, look out for my invisible car."

Yeah, everyone saying Tyranids would be broken hasn't been doing the math.

They're merely good now. Those units that appear undercosted are in fact actually exactly costed for what they can do, which is still situational and not effective against some targets.

They're actually looking very balanced. If anything their major strength is as simple as being a horde army with strong morale, but they're not any better than Orks or Guard. In fact I think Orks are looking stronger.

>>53580869

I won (playing Eldar/Dark Eldar) by 2 points in a kill point game.

My list (I'm the guy most of /tg/ hates, lets get that out of the way now) - converted from my existing collection:

-6x ShruCannon Bikes
-3x ShruCannon Bikes
-3x ShruCannon Bikes
-Farseer Skyrunner
-Autarch Skyrunner
-Warlock Skyrunner
-Crimson Hunter
-Double D-Cannon Wraithknight

-3x Reavers - Blaster, Grav Talon
-3x Reavers - Blaster, Grav Talon
-3x Reavers - Blaster, Grav Talon
-3x Reavers - Blaster, Grav Talon
-Archon

Ork List (from memory)

-30x Slugga Boyz
-30x Slugga Boyz
-30x Shoota Boyz
-3x Deffkoptas
-3x Deffkoptas
-5x Nobz w/Trukk
-Regular Ork Plane who's name escapes me
-3 Zzap Gunz
-Ghazghul
-Weirdboy
-Big Mek with KFF

Overall it was a pretty back and forth game - highlights for him are bringing down the Wraithknight with a combination of a Slugga Boy and Ghazghul charge (after doing 6 wounds to it with smite thanks to using a command point to re-roll wounds). He also knocked out two Reavers early thanks to a good usage of 'Da Jump' on a slugga boy unit.

I was casting fortune on my big bike unit and dooming a unit which still results in a lot of dead boyz. Ultimately I took it because I got first blood off his Trukk and was able to stay more mobile towards the end of the game.

Oh boy, its almost a match for tau

Corpuscarii or Fulgurites for a 20-model Electroblob squad? I kind of want a whole bunch of S5 shooting, but on the other hand dishing out 9ish wounds to literally anything is really attractive, and that's without Hammer of Wrath or the actual attacks adding more.
