I would recommend getting those cheap 7th ed starter set hellbrutes. Or really anything that can kill stuff with high toughness/saves. This is the weakness of your listed composition. You'll be able to mop the floor when it comes to fighting basic infantry and nothing too elite.

Are you illiterate?

>ever getting in range for more than a turn or two anyways

Again - illiterate? You have deepstrike as well as an assault (so advance and shoot) gun.
>>
So what weapon do you think is best on a hellbrute now?

I always liked the look of the thunder hammer but with the changes to it you get -1 to their save over the fist (which was already -3) in exchange for -1 to hit and it doing less damage than the fist 1/3s of the time.

If most vehicles are like the hellbrute IE T7 or below then the scourge looks best. It has a shit ton of attacks to mash infantry, two damage to instant kill terminators, primaris and the like but "only" -2 ap.
>>
>>53596074
rhinos are basically just boxes for moving troops up the field. They're hard to pry open, but once they get up their you don't care.
Onager are also much tougher than they were under the previous edition, and without crew shaken/stunned they'll be firing at full value unless you strip their wounds down. Getting them wounds back would be a much bigger deal.
it costs points for the melee weapon, do you want to spend those?
>>
>>53596068

I'll admit that possessed aren't great, but there's one easy fix for them: just give them 3 attacks all the time. They then become a fast-ish glass hammer assault unit which can punch above its weight. That said, still better than last edition.
>>
>>53595988
No. With their currant rules it is impossible to know where you will want them so the only viable place to put them is in the middle of the battle field with at least one multi wound target and one single wound target. Their only viable role is as a distraction.

>>53596042
>>53596046
>Deep strike
If you rolled to see what their gun would be in the movement phase this would be great. As it is you drop them down next to the tank you need to kill/wound and then they roll a 1 for damage across the whole squad and you can only tickle it.

I think so, enough that Im currently greenstuffing two termicide squads into them.
Primarily they seen like a sturdy Lord delivery system, use the Lords extra movement to be the primary charger, after a teleport youre looking at 9". If they back away from the blender then thats more table advantage.

I'm torn on whether theyre better than other loyalist dedicated terminator squads, on the charge with average rolls they're reducing a 2+ to a 4+ and dealing 2dmg per hit. The s7 really doesnt matter unless theyre flippin over tanks.

I like them, but youre sacrificing the relative safety of our 2+/5+ terminators toolkit for a lower cost, an extra wound, and a way better melee pay off.
>>
>>53596057
Faster (7"), still S5, cheaper than before (22 each), get ap-2 (equivalent to ap3) automatically, death to the false emperor, can charge out of rhinos. How are they not better?
>>
>>53596068
We've been completely stripped of our elite melee options. Berzerkers are good, but they have nowhere near the durability, mobility or attacks to compete with imperial counterparts. Possessed fulfill exactly the same role as Berzerkers while also being more expensive. Warp Talons are getting there, but 2A is not enough.

Mutilators are just a joke and probably even worse than Possessed.

Can't explain that other than to say that GW placed a sweeping nerf over all of AdMech as a 'cost' to be applied to combining them into a single list. They're still decent, even with that.

>is this true/a good idea?
Yeah, it's true. You could take a melee weapon without getting rid of your Galvanic Rifle in 7th edition too. If you're playing with Power, or you have points to spare, you may as well get yourself a Power Sword or Arc Maul or something, but if you care about points, it's probably not the best idea.

>>
>>53596104
Isn't Mech the opposite of footdar?

Also I'd think you're probably worse off than before given that all your units cost substantially more (ie DA cost 4ppm more than last bringing them to 17ppm), your spells are incredibly unreliable at 7+, many other armies got huge buffs, fleet is gone, and battle focus doesn't let you move after shooting anymore.

>get ap-2 (equivalent to ap3) automatically, death to the false emperor, can charge out of rhinos. How are they not better?
Not worth their cost. For one less AP and inch of movement, Berzerkers do all of that while costing only 17ppm (i'm including the chainaxe cost) and being S6, guaranteed 3A if you keep the chainsword, and are able to fight twice in the fight phase.

They not only have a higher threat range, but are much cheaper.

Deceiver looks pretty good, D3 units redeployed anywhere on the board 12" from enemy units

>>53595825

>>
>>53596318
Min unit sizes have gone up for a lot of units though. Chaos terminators, Zoanthropes, and Crisis suita are ones that really spring to mind, and for the latter two running a single model unit was rather fluffy.
>>
>>53596135
Necrons are the closest you'll get. They hate the warp and chaos but winning isn't gonna be fun for anyone either.

>>53596208
7'' move is irrelevant when rhino rush charging exists and warp talons exist. 4 points cheaper is literally nothing. Death to the False Emperor matters against one faction and even then never if you're unlucky. They also got ap3 automatically last edition if you took the DP+Possessed formation.

But in return they lost fleet and got a random number of attacks.

They got nerfed, hard.
>>
>>53596300

You can still DS them with their 24" gun anywhere on the table - if you can't figure out how to do that to get range on a decent selection of targets - well I'm hard pressed to believe you're even capable of playing the game.
>>
>>53596297
>your spells are incredibly unreliable at 7+
warlock has 2 spells at 6+, and conceal can now work on all nearby units, not just guardians.
Enhance is 7+, but you can actually apply it to your melee units.
The farseer powers are 7+, but they can reroll one or both dice. So that's a lot more reliable than it was.
The battlefocus change isn't a huge problem for most units.
The only big nerfs were jetbikes, warpspiders, and wraithknights. IE things that needed it.

Also, Avatar of khaine and wraithlord are much better. No more instant death. S5 attacks not wounding on 2+. Move 7". Difficult terrain isn't a thing

it mattered more when damage came from a direct, now that you can pick and choose who dies then its a lot easier to not care about proxies. but it just looks cooler to have the right models anyways and its always annoying if the person your playing against can't keep all their proxies straight. And it makes it easier for your opponent to gauge your threats since they don't have to constantly ask you which plasma gun is actually a plasma gun and not a melta or whatever.

Can saves me modified into nothing? Like a 6+ save hit with -2 makes it no save of still just +6?

I have a force org related question for the IG.

An Obliterator is a phantom drop during your deployment phase allowing you to drop without dropping and forcing your opponent to double deploy. A predator does not do that.
>>
>>53596497

How does it only matter if your opponent has +1/-1 drop compared to you? Or are you so retarded you don't understand the value of getting to see two of your opponent's deployments before deploying your own unit?
>>
>>53596439
Because they packed more of a punch than Berzerkers last edition, because their purpose was beating elite non-terminator units into submission which was something Berzerkers couldn't. Vessels of Chaos and Fleet were the reason, but now both are gone, and on top of that they have random attacks.

So they can't reroll to wound, can't move as fast as they could, lost the potential +1 attack and were not compensated for the potential +1 initiative. They were left just with their S5 Ap3, while Berzerkers were bumped to S5, fight twice, attack twice, and can reroll charges with icon and be S6 ap4 all while staying cheaper than Possessed.

They were nerfed in literally every way, stop defending this shit design choice. As a result of this we can't compete with elite melee units from other armies anymore.

So I was doing the math on Crushing Claws vs double scything talons for Carnifexes, and it seems vs almost every toughness (T6 was the only time it was better iirc), having two scything talons is just better. Having a -1 to hit, no reroll of 1, and not getting an extra attack (2 if >>53596276 is right).

Am I missing something? The only time crushing claws seem worth it is on Old One Eye cause he has a better to hit and stacks attacks.

Also from the one game I've played my Carnifex got stuck in combat with a rhino, was a weird feeling.
>>
>>53596606
so if I were to field what used to be two platoons of one command squad and two squads each (2x troops) before, it would now be:

platoon commander (elites 1)
command squad (elites 2)
platoon commander (elites 3)
command squad (elites 4)
infantry squad (troops 1)
infantry squad (troops 2)
infantry squad (troops 3)
infantry squad (troops 4)

?

this feel limiting if I want to field a lot of heavy weapon squads. Especially considering each individual squad wouldn't even reach 100 points now.
>>
>>53595718

some tanks

maybe rhinos for the plague marines and a landraider because landraiders are cool as fuck

get some nurgle daemons too to help offset how expensive plague marines are pointswise.
>>
>>53596590
It says that if they have a lightning claw, they make an additional attack. The profile on their datasheet's for a single claw, but they have to buy them in pairs.
>>53596615
You can take one of any number of deep strike-capable units and get the same effect, while also not having to jump through hoops to make those units effective like you do with obliterators.
>>
>>53596568
>The kinds of tables that encourage a lot of moving up towards the center rather than twiddling your knob about in your deployment zone.
so how are they out of range of a 28" threat that's near the center of the table?
How are they moving out of that range?

also, while the predator has higher T than the oblits, it's save are worse. 3+ no invuln vs 2+ with invuln.
Predators can't be get on higher ground to see over los blocking, and if they have to move to get around los blocking shoot at -1, which the oblits do not.
>>
So I've played 40k before years back, but never had an army of my own.

8e has me intrigued. I'm looking through the store now, and kiiiind of thinking of grabbing the Dark Imperium set. Worth it?

As for factions im thinking about going Primaris/SM if I do the boxed set. I like Death Guard from HH so I'd be down to have some Nurgle bros.

As for other factions: Skitarii/Ad Mech and IG all interest me. Is Skitarii/Ad Mech super cost prohibitive?
>>
>>53596684
Yeah I looked at the profile after I posted

Warp Talons LC says an extra with this weapon (two weapons is 2 extra attacks for 3)

But the LC in the wargear list in the back says if they have 2 they can make 1 extra attack with them which would be 2 total

I'm going to use the one on their profile
>>
>>53596684

Yeah but according to you there is no good unit in the Chaos book so you might as well take Obliterators. You've been in every general for like the past 4 days bitching and moaning about Possessed, Obliterators, and for awhile Kharn and Berzerkers.

How about this - I think you're wrong, we'll see in a few months if Obliterators are showing up in competitive play.

Their price is justified by all the shit they can pull off though. Not as cost effective as Berzerkers though, I agree.

>Death Company is good, but only as a massive blob with multiple characters buffing them
They are literally better Berzerkers. 4 attacks on the charge, 6+ FnP and access to jump packs which means they can deepstrike and move 12". Load them with power axes and they will eat Berzerker hordes alive.

And don't even get me started with the bullshit the furfags are able to pull.

what you can do to get extra slots is pick any of the pic related detachments

also afaik guard vehicles are among the few that still get vehicle squads, with the added benefit that they get split up after deployment so you save some slots there

There is no option for platoon. Platoon commanders are elites, so are command squads and special weapon squads. Infantry and Conscripts are still troops and heavy weapon squads got turned into heavy supports.

Bruh I haven't said shit about Kharn or Berserkers or posted in these threads before today, so fuck off. And the index has some pretty decent units - Chosen, Terminators, Cultists, etc. Just because you're a gibbering retard who can't refute what I'm saying doesn't make me the spirit of chaosbitching past.

>>53596686
Predator also has more wounds than the entire squad of oblits, in addition to higher T. If you're not going to deep strike them behind the enemy, you might as well just deploy them normally since the no man's land is only 18 inches now.
>>
>>53596287
It's kinda different for CSM since Warp Time can pretty much guarantee a charge. A deep striking cadre of a Sorc, a small Termie unit designed for shooting to bodyguard for him, and some unit of nasty assault fuckers is a solid idea.
>>
>>53596057
Nerfed implies they were good in the first place. They were not.
>>
>>53596712
So looking at other models, Warp Talons seem to be the only unit with this wording for Lightning Claws, I'd say use this interpretation at risk.

Tyranids on the other hand use this +1 attack for each scything talon through the book, which is pretty huge for them.

There are a lot of errors in these books, more than I would expect. The Dark Angel Nephilim Jetfighter gets Heavy 1 (probably correct) with it's Blacksword missiles; in the wargear, it's a Heavy 10 weapon.

>no man's land is only 18 inches now.
objectively untrue.
there are multiple different deployment set ups, many of which have a 24" inch no mans land. and getting from your zone to the middle takes 3 turns, plus any verticle movement that might be needed.

>Predator also has more wounds than the entire squad of oblits
2 more but yes.
and it's capacity for fire gets depleted at fairly equal points.

Outside of specifically st 5 an 6, the difference between wounding for oblits and preditors is 1 point on the die. So 1/6th. Which is the same as the difference between the saves. It gets complicated in how the multiplication on that works out, but still thing.
also, oblits are cheaper.

So there are pros and cons on both sides.
Pred:
Harder hitting (moderate)
longer range (moderate)
toughness (minor).

Oblits:
Positioning (major)
Point cost (minor).

After you prime go over with watered down white and water down the green more. Use a larger brush and after applying a generous amount to the model dab the brush onto a paper tower and use what's on the model already insteading of globbing more and more on making it unsightly and uneven in a bad way.

So there's a unit in Imperial Index 1 called Imperial Space Marine, and it just seems to be a single marine with an impressive statline. What's up with that?

>>53597764
He should make twenty Primedar babies with Yvraine before that.

>>53597746
There are smaller choirs and beacons which can be used for warp travel. But the astronomican is the only one that visible almost everywhere. Only the far east can't see it, and even there warp travel is possible.

Just as importantly he is keeping the daemons in the webway from spilling into terra and making a new eye of terror

>>53597672
That's what they used to be. Now they are just a completely customizable 4 man squad. No need to stay near the character at this point.

Or maybe the belief in the Emperor is enough to power the Astronomicon, and hiding his demise is the only way to perpetuate that belief throughout humanity.

Plus it'd be bad for morale.

Can you shoot your bolter and boltpistol? This seems to suggest you can, but the Example turn suggests otherwise.
>>
>>53597810
okay, off topic, but I do love how the Chaos primarch falls can be blamed on different unique flavors of pride.
Magnus's pride was that overconfidence. He thought he understood and could control the warp powers he was using.
Perturobo's pride was a bitter envious pride. No one was good enough for him, and no one gave him enough credit.
Fulgrims was arrogance. He was overconfident in himself like magnus, but form was different.

Even Konrad had pride in his nihilism. He thought if he couldn't fix and change things his way, then no one could. He never asked for help.
on and on.

When the weapon types are explained, it says that pistols may only be fired alongside other pistols, on any given model. So if you have a bolter, a flamer, an inferno pistol, and a bolt pistol (somehow), you can fire the bolter and flamer together, or the two pistols together, but not mix and match between the two groups. Pistols or not-pistols.

You can always run them as basic bitch csm if you want. Scarabs have the same weapons as terminators, Rubrics can be run as csm- count reaper as heavybolter or autocannon.
>>
>>53598369
what was retarded was the post linked to where anon seemed to be suprised that the Greater Blight Drone might be a different model or have different rules from the Foetid Bloat-Drone.

the Greater Blight Drone is just a name change from the preexisting Forge World model Nurgle Blight Drone.

It is obvious that a Foetid bloat-drone is not the same thing as a blight drone.

bloat vs blight.

i know they sound and look similar, but they are not the same...the models are not the same...hell the names are not the same....GW makes one and FW makes the other...why would this be suprising at all?

are you new? are you a AoS player? is that whats going on here?
>>
>>53598432
because nurgle is the only non-evil of the chaos gods. one of his units in fantasy, maybe aos, literally was a giant gross thing that just wanted to play and hug you...unfortunatly he was like lenny from mice and men and would hug you to death, and it got sad when it killed you, until it saw another friend to hug

>>53598422
One is a superiority fighter, one is a ground attack gunship. If a model moves it gets a penalty to firing heavy weapons, this negates that penalty for the aircraft's intended target.

There are no chapter tactics. Full rules are up - check em out if you don't believe me.

>>53598571
Aos was the total dumbing down of fantasy and that is not really in question...now that GW has decided to do the same thing with 40k a lot of ppl that played AoS b/c they couldnt grasp the rules of 40k are now picking up 40k.

make no mistake, there is a vast disparity in gaming knowledge from someone who has been playing 40k for 10+ years vs some 16 year old kid who is switch to 40k bc now it is not too complicated for him to grasp.

legitimate question

>>53598615
Either the Vanquisher or Punisher, everything else is wasted on him

the index's are just base rules, so everyone can play 8th without being stuck with really old rules. the codex's will come soon with chapter tactics, regiments, and all the goodies you want. it will just take a few months of waiting for the releases

5th company bumble bee marines a best
>>
>>53598681
I know a 16 year old kid who was pretty damn mad at the rules change, he's like a tiny grognard. He plays faster and more accurately than me, although I suppose Lamenters have less choices and random fiddly special rules than Admech/Inquisition do to eat time. Although I think he's been playing since late fifth, so would make sense he's got it down by now.
>>
>>53598615
Punisher or Demolisher if you don't mind using command points to reroll # of shots.
Vanquisher is garbage tier this edition.
>>
>>53598721

That is irrelevant for current list building and discussion.
>>
>>53598615
Punisher and Demolisher are the best LR Weapons. Executioners are good if you have a Tank Commander but NOT on the commander himself. Battle Cannon is best of the normal or longer range variants. Vanquisher is trash until the possibly FAQ the strength up to S9. Pask really isn't about buffing himself anymore aside from BS 2+, so just pick a Punisher, Demolisher, or Battle Cannon.

>>53598681
>they changed the rules because it was too complicated
The only thing that's less complex is the loss of armor facings, and that change was mostly just to make vehicles less garbage, so it's a trade-off really.
Mixing some AoS stuff into 40k doesn't fundamentally change the kind of game 40k is like the switch from WHFB to AoS did.
If 40k was too complicated (lmao) for them before, then the new edition isn't going to change that too much.

A lot of people that play AoS are former 40k players fed up with the shit and garbage of a mess 7th and 6th had become. Don't try to make yourself sound intelligent when in truth the only thing going for those pieces of shit of editions was the need to eat a shit ton of rules in order to begin to play.
>>
>>53598721
>A few months

More like potentially years if you play a non space marine faction, you know they will re release all their different flavours of marine before they even look at anything else. Just look at AoS for your example, stormcasts have three codexes and many other races have nothing.

>>53598851
I liked the depth of customization and number of options that a lot of units had in 7e. I haven't played any earlier editions, so I can't speak for those, but I miss being able to kit out my HQs and unit leaders to be a bit more personalized.
>>
>>53598791
No. Lascannons go in Infantry Squads where they get eight or nine ablative wounds. Put Heavy Bolters or Mortars in Heavy Weapons Squads.

Don't bother with the Executioner unless you have a Tank Commander. If you're firing low power a Battle Cannon is better. Also Try to put your dudes in a brigade detachment. More CP. Ratlings, Rough Riders, and Sentinels all look pretty good for the points. So use them to fill it out cheaply.

I kinda like Necrons, but it feels like there's no customisation to them.

Are there any ways to make them a bit more unique?
>>
>>53598878

7th ed is just 3rd ed fourth revision. Mostly it's been tinkering with assault phase and vehicle mechanics, and the myriad USRs. 8th is the biggest change the game has seen since 2nd.
>>
>>53598908
What good are mortars?
>>
>>53598558
Repping 3rd co condiment marines. IMO first company has best scheme. Blue trim is kinna rad though.
>>
>>53598876
Math was done. Order is basically Punisher, Demolisher, Overcharged Executioner, Battle Cannon, Eradicator, Normal Executioner, Exterminator, Vanquisher. If you don't have a Tank Commander for the re-rolls the Battle Cannon is the best turret gun with a range over 24". All the "Battle Cannon is shit" memeing was comparing it to a hypothetical 8 shot Exterminator. Exterminator has 4 shots.
>>
>>53598581
Isn't the Warp the same for both settings?
>>
>>53598851
what they just put out is totally watered down. 7th was bloated that is for sure, you had to have like 3-5 books factions depending just to make an army that consisted of 1 faction (if you want access to all options)

however there were a shit ton of just plain universal special rules that not longer exist...not meaningless stuff either, stuff that made units good is totally missing now and it means that lots of units are just generic as fuck with zero flavor now....
>>
>>53598878
It will come back with Codexes, don't worry.
>>
>>53598834
Yeah, about then. Met his parents, they don't know shit about miniature wargaming. He's apparently got a pretty damn good job, since he's got more disposable income to throw at this than I do. He's got what, 3K Lamenters, Unending Host, Chaos Knight of Nurgle, a whole bunch of Nurgle Daemons, 3k Orks with Kustom Battlefortress, some Inquisition and literally last month he bought an entire DE Carnival of Pain and 2.5K of Heresy DG with Morty, LR Achilles, loads of FW termies and Leviathan Dread. I don't know where the fuck he works, but damn that's a lot to throw out in a month.
>>
>>53598994
The Battlecannon is still pretty shit. If you want something longer range, invest in one of the cheaper killier artillery options, like a Basalisk.
>>
>>53598289
I think fluff wise it makes sense and woud be intended. Otherwise what's the point of the genestealers if the main force can't use what they steal?
>>
>>53598984
None. But they're CHEAP at 27pts for 3 heavy weapons teams.
>>
>>53598994
It's not a meme, 1.75 wounds average is fucking terrible. It's so rng as well that you are better off spending points on something with less uncertainty in it, like heavy weapon squads.
>>
who is your favorite race and why anon?
>>
>>53598984
Dirt cheap and they can hide out of line of sight. For 27 points you're putting 3d6 boltgun shots into any unit within 48".
>>
>>53598323
Yeah, but they have to be in a different detachment. GSC has a special rule that allows them to break the normal army building rules by taking Guard as an ally, but it doesn't give the Guard a virtual "Genestealer Cult" keyword.
>>
>>53599058
yes they are cheap, so why not put heavy bolters or autocannons on them, you know, something actually useful
>>
>>53599083
>tfw every other factions steals our shit

Oh well battle cannons are shit at least now so have fun with that.
>>
>>53599086
No idea m8. Not the first poster.

My thought would be as anti-snipers. They can shoot out of like of sight and hit things like ratlings or scouts with sniper riffles trying to pick off your commanders. Wont do a whole lot against Assassins though.
>>
>>53598979
Nobody has much customization right now. We all need to wait for codices.
>>
>>53599061
Have you compared it to other weapons, including those of other factions? It's right in line with most weapons, particularly for 20 points. People have no idea what they're talking about.
>>
>>53598984
D3 shots against anything in range. A squad will do d3x3 shots against any squad of your choice within range and doesn't require line of sight, so they can be tucked away on an objective somewhere, contributing all game long.

Isn't it better to take Command Squads and give them a Lascanon, Vox and med kit rather than taking Infantry and shoving HWS Lascanons in?
>>
>>53599086
Heavy Bolters are a solid choice. And have more S and AP. But, they're a bit more expensive have less range, fewer shots on average and most importantly are a priority target the die instantly to any kind of attention. Mortars on the other hand are safely out of LOS. Still I like both HB and Mortars on HWS.

Autocannons are more than double the cost for the squad and feel like throwing away points to me. I'd rather have 6D6 S4 shots that are mostly invulnerable than 6 S7 ones that die to a stiff breeze.

Averaging about 5 hits a round, at range 48, out of sight all game for 27pts, isn't too shabby though.

I think it might be worthwhile, given the shear number of units that are going to be on the field if you're playing foot guard.

7pt plasma guns are nuts too. Think i'm going to run flamer and Plasma sws, for cheap.

Scions are going to be a god send, because fuck moving all my shit up the field.

I just got my ass handed to me by a 1250 points necron army as a tau player. He had two units of 20 warriors bubble wrapping two characters (a lord and a cryptek) with a ghost ark behind it. plus an unit of immortals and one of deathmarks.

I had three units of 8 pathfinders (2 were rail rifles), an ethereal, a cadre fireblade, a commander with 2 plasma 1 flamer and ATS, four units of 6 FW with DS8 turrets, two teams of stealth suits (with fusion blaster, ATS)

It was our first 8th edition game. Markerlights never seemed to hit and i couldn't kill any unit of his! Also it was a relic mission....

What did i do wrong? How can i counter this fucking warrior bubble?

What can i use to blow up them all? At least one or two of them come back every turn and they are basically immune to morale tests. I have almost every model in the tau range (at least one of each unit) except the stormsurge. I was thinking missilesides or missilecrisis teams?

Thanks. You think missilesides or missilecrisis would be effective at dishing out a lot of wounds?

Nope, Ork psykers are 100% Warp-based. Fluff references them being possessed by daemons and they help guide ships in the warp.

Magic in 40k is well-defined. It comes from the Warp. Nothing the Necrons do can ever come from the Warp, seeing as how they have no souls. They CAN'T use magic.

>>
>>53599503
It on a 4+ wound on a 2+ even if they don't get an armor save that's a 5/12 chance of doing anything. Call the average on 2d6, drop the lowest 5, and we're still looking at ~2.08 wounds a turn.

Things you want: high shot volume, ap-1 or better, s5 or s8
Things you don't want: s3, s4, s6, s7, low shot volume, multiple damage.
For maximum efficiency, I think. Also anything that can outrange 24+move.

Im not familiar yet, do missilesides get a frag style option or is it more like an autocannon? I'm currently thinking heavy bolters as the most efficient necron warrior removal weapon profile for points.

Just played Orks vs Necrons.

Warboss, Boys, Nob, Deff Dread,

vs

Lord, Warriors, Immortals, Annihilation barrage

Orks one.

Necrons are a very grindy army, tough and keep coming back but can definitely be stopped over time.

Ork melee is incredibly reliable and they can be fucking fast too even on foot. (Thank you GW for wound allocation).

Nobs hit hard even with basic Big Choppas but I'd probably just field more boys.

PKs really don't feel worth it on them.

Warboss is a fairly cheap support character more than anything else now.

All in all a very fun introduction game for my wife to get used to Necrons, and me to see how Orks play in 8th.
>>
>>53599610
>I had 24 of them but i did not concentrate fire.

Lemme math
24, in rapid fire range is 48, or 24 hits. 16 wounds, 8 dead warriors a turn.

It might still be hard to keep them down with that many.

Maybe kroot to charge them, then they have to fall back and not shoot, and hopefully you can charge again to lock them down.
>>
>>53599580

Manipulation of physics. Reducing dudes to atoms, fucking with the flow of time, splitting atoms to create nuclear explosions.

Basically, the C'tan are Dr Manhattan.
>>
>>53599610

That's just a poor game of rolling - with 15 you should be able to generate around 7-8 a turn.
>>
So a vehicle can only fire after retreating from combat if it has a special rule allowing it too, right?
>>
>>53599597
You mean in the Detachment charts? Only anything with the flyer icon in the upper left of the datasheet. There are models with "FLY" that are not "Flyers".
>>
>>53599503
Let's see if that would help, assuming most tanks are T8 with a 3+ save.
Vanquisher with s9:
>1 shot x 1/2 to hit x 2/3 to wound x 5/6 to fail a save x 4.5 average damage = 1.25 damage
Battle Cannon
>3.5 shots x 1/2 to hit x 1/2 to wound x 2/3 to fail a save x 2 average damage = 1.17 damage
Demolisher Cannon (d3 shots)
>2 shots x 1/2 to hit x 2/3 to wound x 5/6 to fail a save x 3.5 average damage = 1.94 damage
S9 would help the Vanquisher to just barely beat out the battle cannon, but the Demolisher is still better.
>>
>>53599658

>Wound allocation

Explain yourself.
>>
>>53599683
Yes.
>>
>>53599628
High yield missile pods from Broadsides is: 36" Heavy 4 S7 AP-1 D3
A missileside also has SMS: 30" heavy 4 S5 AP0 (-1 with advanced targeting system) and D1.
>>
>>53599652
>>53599687
So Tyranids don't have any flyers despite a host of units defined by their ability to fly?
>>
>>53599704
Take a wound and assign it to any model in the unit regardless of position, range, or even if in line of sight.

Ork translation: Da boys at da back die while da boys at da front keep charging
>>
>>53599682
That's reassuring!
>>
>>53599522
Star Gods sounds like something out of mahou shoujo anime.
>>
>>53599704
Wound allocation is completely defender's choice in 8th regardless of range or LOS. So rather than 7th ed. where casualties were removed from the front thus pushing your unit farther and farther from charge range, you can remove them from the back and not effect your charge ranges at all.

That is correct. None of their fliers are classed as fliers. The question is do you think this is a bad thing?

looks fine my dude, assuming the other guy doesn't have a lot of armor

Correct. Flyers are usually models with the "Airborne" ability that have special restricted movement rules. Just planes pretty much. All the Flying Monstrous creatures are normal models with Fly now. Basically you're always in hover mode.

Looking at the points values the Demolisher is also the only gun to break 25ps coming in at 40. In most cases I would take the Battle cannon or punisher over that just to save points.

Throw an agonizer on the hekatrix for 4 (F O U R) pts and you can start also tearing things a new asshole. Wyches have always been good at survivng melee, but they suck at hurting things in there with them unless you spent 30+ points on a hekatrix with a real weapon. Now a heka with whip is only a scant 4 pts, perfect for including in every unit. Instead of being expensive ablative wounds for a succubus, they are the cheap ablative wounds for an almost free succubus lite.

maybe splitting up your marker teams into even smaller groups so that you can use half a teams markers to help their markers hit.

So I read Khorne Daemons; they seem pretty good! Blood letters are 9ppm (including wargear) and seem dangerous in hordes of 30. Skull cannons seem awesome against hordes too.

Iron Warriors. Between the sleek color scheme, the already awesome "future tech meets medieval demonic army" aesthetic of CSMs, and the focus on horrific biomechanical weapons like Obliterators, the concept of a "meat grinder" basic throw-them-in-the way army slowly being influenced by this into a "pragmatism to the point of losing all regards of morality" is interesting, and the focus on siege warfare (but with measures prepared for close combat) is something I really like. Perturabo is a compelling character, (whose name happens to be almost identical to that of one of my favorite musicians) not just in spite of, but because of how much he falls.
