Reposting from the other thread:

I've got 1000 points of guard infantry (vets with lots of special weapons + scions) including a valkyrie and a sentinel.

I also have a bunch of Grey Knight terminators, around 20 power armoured dudes, a landraider, and a couple dreads.

What should I take from the Grey Knight list to make up the guard army to 1500points (or whatever is common) ?

BEST IMPERIAL GUARD REGIMENT

7th edition-Broken lists require you buy and paint few giant models and a handful of smaller models.

8th edition-Broken lists require you buy and paint hundreds of infantry.

Even by this metric 8th is superior. Your local WAACfag will paint 3 riptides and a stormsurge, but is he going to paint 200 guardsmen?

2d6 mortal wounds to the target. S5 hit to every surviving unit in the model (to a maximum of 24 hits). S3 hit to every unit in every model within 6" (to a maximum of 12 hits per unit).

As a bonus, shits on conga lines that don't make sense anyway.

7th editions broken list confirmed over tones of games. Almost all involved movement control to abuse terrain and LoS.

I've seen a lot of people saying that they will be great because of their power weapons in melee and Rapid Fire 2 storm bolters, but the AP changes and all the multi damage weapons make other people say that they will be shit.

Oh, that's okay. They're not there to actually be useful. They're just there to look cool and be flavorful. It's not like Guilliman needs an honor guard, just that fluff wise I can't imagine anyone letting him run around without some hangers on to keep an eye on him.

Cool. Yeah, it'd be neat to have something actually get the XIII legion buffs from him anyways. I kinda want to paint custodes the most but I think fluff-wise Guilliman likes to keep his trustiest mates from macragge nearby over anyone else.

He actually didn't seem to get along well with the custodes from what little I had read.

Unless it specifically says so like Lightning Claws, no. You divide your attacks between your weapons as see fit. IE if you have a claw+fist and 3 attacks, you could do 3 claws, 2 claws and a fist, ect

+2 shielded missile drones, 2 smart missile systems, heavy burst cannon, target lock, and advanced targeting system
-10 man pathfinder team

You aren't but there's not really much of a reason for you to go with DAngels specifically.

Dark Mechanicus sounds cool on paper, but I'm just not sure how well it would actually work as a army. I can't easily ally to chaos, and I dont really have enough flexibility to play it solo.

As for Admech, here's what I have:
2 Dominus
2 Onager
30 Vanguard
5 Infilitrators
1 Dragoon
3 Kataphron Destroyers

Any idea on what to get, aside from the obvious Kastellans?


Also, I am kind of interested in starting a Dark Eldar army. But I am a but cautious on starting a whole new army so soon.

>>53721411
Without chapter tactics or using their unique characters/models all space marines play exactly the same. A primaris DarkAngel army and a primaris Ultramarine army play the same until you start adding deathwing/ravenwing.

As for how good it is, I believe people have been saying that Primaris are meh.

>>53721407
Apologies on the target lock, though missile pods were heavy 2
As for MSU = Multiple Small Units, as in run 2 x 5 man pathfinder squads to spread them out and lose less to assault and battleshock
Same for the fire warriors.
Here's a change your list could use.
Run 3 5 man fire warrior squads, a cadre fireblade as an extra hq and a firesight marksman for the sniper drones and run it in a battalion detachment for 6 command points rather than the 3 you currently have
If you don't own a cadre fireblade just run your fire warrior with no helmet as one or give him a fancier paint job in accordance with his sept colours
Your next purchases should be something to replace your riptide as the riptide is currently trash
>>
>>53721460

You want unifying colours for your whole army, maybe paint them all red and then put colours on the base to differentiate them, like a yellow strip.
Or better, paint them red and then add identifying marks on flatter areas. Like a different tag or colour on a particular piece.
It's your decision, you might run them as a big mob eventually and if they're all different colours it's going to clash.

Bragging rights if I win a game I guess but a being a multi GT winner doesn't account as much in 8th as it did 5th 6th and 7th.

I thought about squad markings, but that doesn't feel Orky. That and warbikes don't have a whole lot of flat areas.

We're not talking like Necron or Tau squad markings, we're looking at a badly painted toof or an ork face, or like this squad enjoys ramming people so their wheels are bloodstained sort of thing.
You could mark the bases still or use a different colour in the detail paint work, like hair colour or choppa handles (Bone? Leather?)

because in order to be a battle forged list, you need 3 troops and 2 HQ.

Plus I like sisters and would want to play with them.

Greyfax has a special rule where Imperium models can use her leadership instead of their own, so I figure Her and a blob of conscripts can sit on an objective while the jump infantry and mounted infantry run around and do other stuff.

When I include more stuff to make it 2000 points, it will probably be more seraphim, a leman russ squadron, and a basilisk squadron.

Except they aren't. The dev in the interview said it was built with the assumption that you'd be taking "average" upgrades for the unit.
Power Level requires a gentleman's agreement to not be faggots and take every upgrade possible, which is why it will never replace points as the go-to option.
I guess it's fine if you just want a quick, friendly pick up game, and you don't already have lists written for your army for some reason, but no one who takes the game even slightly seriously will ever use them.

I was thinking focus on Interceptors and termies would be good, maybe grabbing some more Paladins while I'm at it. Considering Interceptors aren't jump pack, razorbacks' might be good for holding 2 6-man squads to start the game in, then pop out into combat T2

Maybe not even alter the D6 or double shots or anything drastic like that, just add +1 shot corresponding to the tens-place.

10 models is +1 shot, 20 models is +2 shots, 30 is +3, etc.

That adds a tiny bit of extra reliability for flamers and blasts against a 10 man unit, and while it offers better averages against hordes, it isn't going to be super swingy and range between 2 hits and 12 hits. It pushes the rolls closer to their maximum, but it won't go insanely over.

like in Fantasy, 40k works on belief because of the holes in reality. If enough sentient beings believe in something, that something will come true in some form or another. Like a weaker version of the ork waaagh!!! energy field. So yes, rule of cool is the actual rule in a place dictated over by a bunch of religious fanatics. That's how a flak jacket saves you from a tank

Necrons are still up there, Eldar and Tau got fucked.

Weight of fire and large blocks of infantry are really good now. Armor and wargear is expensive and holding objectives/tarpiting is the name of the game.

Top tier: Orks, Nids and IG
High tier: Necrons (specifically warrior spam)
Mid tier: ...kinda hard to tell
Low tier: Tau and Eldar (all flavors)

I'm still puzzled by why WG didn't extend armor values when they changed how AP interacts with armor.

It would have made infinitely more sense to have 0 be unarmored, and count upwards for increasing armor. Now rolling for armor saves fits with other rolls as #+. Roll 2+ with for the armor save against an armor 1 unit.

With each individual point of armor being less powerful, you can make armor and armor piercing more granular.

Good luck removing those 30+ blocks of dudes immune to morale saves and throwing out 90+ attacks per round.

Oh I see you're just delusional or jaded that your army still sucks in spite of the changes.

DE are trash, bubble wrap with scarabs to prevent assaults and wipe their T3 paper mache asses because they have to dump 4-5 units of fire power into your warriors.

I hope you do deny their RP save, the rest of my army is gonna be shooting 40+ rerolling shots that ignore your T-shirt saves and wound you on 3+. You aren't gliding around in land raiders, 5+ armor isn't gonna save you from even regular gauss fire.

So the rules have been out long enough now. What rule/special rule interaction are you slightly annoyed about for your army?

For mine Ahriman and exalted Sorcs have the special rule "re-reoll invunerable saves of 1 for all nearby TSon INFANTRY." Now Ahriman and Sorcs are effected by this rule normally but they can(read will) take a disk that removes the infantry tag and gives them the cavalry, daemon and fly special rules. This means that they are no longer effected by their own special rule.

It's not game breaking but it is a pain if you ask me. Magnus gets around this by his special rule just reading TSons units making him seem even more mandatory.

Our Markerlights are significantly more interesting now more diverse but less overtly potent effects, with them no longer being expended on use (they disappear at end of phase), so they're used for situational purposes or bursting priority targets. A lot of our units are actually worth taking now that weren't before; drones in general are fantastic value, with Gun Drones being one of the best damage-per-point deals in the game right now, and Vespids taking the role that cheap crisis used to of fast MEQ-killers.

Who knows, probably won't change the SCs too much but might add one more. Most likely Primaris once they are a bit more fleshed out
>>
>>53723622
I never said troops were required, though? I said that the SC isn't enough to make a legal army, not even a patrol, as a patrol would require troops which Wind Riders are not. The box now includes an HQ, a FA and an HS which cannot make any detachments except for Auxiliaries, and that'd be 3 detachments at around 500pts which is heavily dissuaded (and also just awkward, compared to SC! which give actual standard detachments).

I'm well aware that non-Troops detachments exist, Patrol is just the cheapest detachment for most small games, and the Eldar box can't use it.

That's what I'm gonna do with the squad from my SC box. Gonna buy some chainspears from anvil next paycheck and make them berzerkers. I need to get some magnets for the helbrute too, I don't wanna have to be stuck with just one weapon.

I agree. It's pretty awesome, actually. It's the little things that count, you know?

Fuck. I think I might do it. It's like $93 for the index, a squad, a termie lord, and a Hellbrute.

I am Night Lords, so I'm actually an undivided legion. I don't really want to use cult units for fluff reasons, but fucking christ Berserkers are powerful. If I had enough Chainglaives, I'd consider using them all as counts-as.

How badly built is this squad?

Chaos Terminators x10 - 468
-Champion w/ Chain Fist, Combi-bolter
-2 w/ Lightning Claws
-1 w/ Power Fist, Combi-bolter
-2 w/ Power Axe, Combi-bolter
-2 w/ Power Sword, Combi-plasma
-1 w/ Power Sword, Combi-melta
-1 w/ Power Sword, Combi-flamer
>>
If the rule says that on a 1 a mini get a mortal wound, can you prevent it with a re-roll 1?
>>
>>53723860
Inq Acolytes. They are S/T/W 3, with 2 attacks, a chainsword (+1 attacks), and can have almost any weapon from the INQ weapon list.

They are also 8 points a model base, kek.
>>
>>53723865
Yes.
>>
>>53723862
It tries to do everything, so its just wasting space. The combi-flamer won't ever get huge use.
I'd just say put a few combi-plasmas in general.

>>53723862
>combi-flamer
New twinlinked rules make this useless.
>>
>>53723874
Huh. That IS really good.

>>53723862
Too much weapon mixing. You generally don't want more than one or two variations within a squad, or it becomes difficult to figure out what targets to prioritise with it. You end up with a unit that is mediocre against a variety of units instead of good against a specific group, such that you could have it slot into a large army composition. Also keeping track of all the different loadouts would be a pain.
>>
>>53723886
Should I just make them specialized units of 5 and send them after specific targets?
>>
>>53723912
>combi-flamer
>useless
?
>>
>>53723924
Combi-flamer's range for the flamer is only 8 inches.

With the combi-bolter's new rules you get 4 shots under rapid fire
With the combi-flamer bad dice rolls can cause you to only get 1 shot with the flamer.
>>
>>53723808

Keep an eye out for stores blowing out Dark Vengeance for cheap too I guess. It's currently $110 but if you get it at a discount you would get another Hellbrute and Terminator Lord. I read somewhere that Chosen weren't super great in 8th but you'd get a bunch of cultists as well (usable as chaff and for Shadow War), plus you could make a couple bucks selling off the Dark Angels sprues.
>>
>>53723918
Not his fault the Chaos Termi sprue is pants on head retarded.
>>
>>53723939
oh right, chaos combi-bolters are better. As they are now just storm bolters.
>>
>>53723605
DE Flyers are quite good and can deal with Artillery with some smart positioning. Scourges are also an option, though sorta fragile.

Full on Conscript Horde is pretty tricky, but if it's just one or two blobs you can just whittle them down with spliter fire from gunboats and Venoms. Then Wyches with +1A or +1T can mop up conscript squads without much issue while likely holding them in combat.
>>
>>53723956
Well in general both storm bolters and combi-bolters have gotten better because they're both Rapid Fire 2 (so 2 shots at 24", 4 shots under 12")

Well not useless exactly. If you are using a Sorc to Warp Time them, then Flamers still offer 3.5 hits on average vs. a combi-bolters 2.7 hits on average. You do have to weigh the extra cost, though it still might be worth it on your alpha strike unit.

Started Dark Eldar/Drukhari for 8th ed. How do you think a heavy scourge/reaver list would fare? With the obligatory drazhar and incubi bomb in a reaver of course. Maybe a talos or a razorwing fighter.
>>
Oh hey look it's another Dark Eldar list.
I'm really unsure about this actually. The major issue for me was the second HQ choice, I don't have any Grotesqueries so my Covens choices were stuff like the Talos and Cronos both of which don't do much damage now despite being pretty tanky. Hence I went with Wych Cult stuff to add some melee to my very shooty list. I don't think it's super good and I found the whole exercise difficult, I was undershooting and overshooting the 2000 point limit multiple times.

I dunno, tear it apart if you can.

No one plays historical wargames, that's why
If you're lucky you maybe have a small community of people who play Bolt Action or maybe Flames of War, but if you want to engage with the main community of mini wargamers in your area, your choices are pretty much 40k, Warmahordes (which is just poor man's 40k). or X-wing at this point.
>>
>>53725001
Reavers are expensive but are pretty incredible, 14'' movement, Str 4 AP-1, easy access to special weapons, combat drugs etc.
Scourges aren't a super spammy unit, three units I think would be pushing it. They're the overwhelming force applied at a single point sort of anti-tank/monster. Something like one with Dark Lances and one with Blasters would be all most lists would want/need.

I assume you mean Raider for the Incubi bomb. I don't know, I'm pretty lukewarm on Incubi this edition but that's mostly because of the removal of their role as bodyguards.They still have some of the same issues as last edition, they're only S4 which does well vs basic infantry but doesn't give them the amount of wounds they need to mulch through larger units, of course, the addition of battleshock might have fixed this. The other issue is T3 and participating in a form of combat in which the other guy gets to hit back, they take losses pretty quickly.
This is all personal preference though and if you want a big unit of Incubi with their Not!PhoenixLord then you pursue your dreams.

The Razorwing Jetfighter is pretty amazing this edition, Dark Lances and Dis Cannons are great and the ability to switch out your missile loadout is very versatile.

Death Guard is looking strong so far. Toughest marines, strong HQ choices, and even their cheap-o cultist equivalent, Poxwalkers, are very scary.

Yes thank you, I meant raider. But overall sounds like Reavers are the way to go then huh? I really love the look of the scourge models so I definitely want at least a couple units (1 with shard carbines, 1 with heat/dark lances for example). But I'll just have to be ultra careful with drazhar and the incubi. And yeah disintegrator cannons seem nasty so I'll give that ago. Any reason to take a talos? Or just stick with the fighter?

I think the Talos is an overcosted blob of wounds and toughness at the moment. It used to be a melee monster that you could deliver via a webway portal to your opponents backline.

Now the biggest AP it has is -1 and you have to walk it across the board. I don't know. It's just kind of pointless in a fast, hard hitting army. You can buy it expensive, pretty guns but that's a lot of points to sink into BS 4+.

the imperial knights are more likely to earn you a "that guy" badge, at least until people realize they are actually reasonably balanced now

My point being that the model starts with compulsory equipment, despite how the mini is equipped.
>>
>>53725412
Did you necron lord in previous codex? He had staff and orb on mini, but they wasnt default wargear
>>
New to 40k and assembling some of my first Death Company.

When equiping a unit with wargear how do you want to distribute it?

In this case I am giving a number of power swords and plasma pistols to the unit. Does it make sense to split these between different DC or just have a small number equipped with both plasma pistol and power sword?
>>
Whats the point of different factions for Space Marines in this new addition? I play as Dark Angels and beside the fallen rules so we dont use leadership tests or the jink rules for my ravenwing, they are just space marines.

There doesn't seem to be as much differentiation between them this edition. I mean in 7th we had Grim resolve: Overwatch on balistic skill 2, lions blade formation which meant we could ignore limits to overwatch and fire at full balistic skill, teleporters on ravening bikes, belial didnt scatter, etc. etc.

Just doesnt seem to be anything unique aabout each chapter now other than colour scheme and some meme rule like the new no leadership when fighting fallen rule, I mean how many games will you realistically have against Fallen.

Do they plan to bring out codices in the future or am I missing something?
>>
>>53725432
Wait for your codex
>>
>>53725432
Indexs are temporary rules because of how drastically the base rules changed.

Codexes are coming, please hold, your money is important to GW.

>try to incorporate inquisition and astra telepathica units into your army
>they eat up all the elite slots
>>
>>53725470
New thread.
Am I doing this right?
>>
>>53725451
You have no slots, you effectively have infinite slots.

You mean into one detachment, not army.
>>
>>53725426
to be honest model what you think looks awesome.

but if you're the tpe who thinks you want your models to have exactly what you want your troops to be armed with, make a list first then assemble models in line with that list
>>
>>53725451
Use one Vanguard Detachment in addition to your usual one. Need one extra HQ, but you now have 6 additional Elite slots.

besdies, how many do you need? the typical battalion has 6 max. brigade, 8 max.
>>
>>53725478
isn't there a detachment amount limit?
>>
>>53725494
2 detachments for 1k points
3 for 2k
4 for 3k

but they're suggestions I think.
>>
>>53725451
Just spam vanguard detachments dude. Best detachment in the game.
>>
>>53725508

Can only have 1 of each type
>>
>>53725660
I guess you can, in Apocalypse format, and if you have lots of HQs. And lots of everything else too, actually.
I have no idea why anyone would want to do this though
