It's in the "Hard to Hit" rule.

It doesn't. Only specific flyers have a special rule that imposes the -1 to hit penalty.

I wouldn't reduce the price at first to see whether they can still sell them for the full price, but if they cant then i would decrease the price by 20-30 percent. The armies are still valid, thats and the box is still cheaper than buying them alone.
>>53873550
I prefer GW models, they (usually) look better. The main reason why i dislike Anvil and Victoria is because i had an Anvil fanboy( he still played 40k, but whenever we talked about models he wouldn't shut up about Anvil models and how they are all so much better than GW ) in my gameclub who just ruined Anvil and Victoria for me by being an annoying ass.

I have no idea why the other people dislike them though

I’ve noticed a rather common theme in books/short stories/novellas centered around Cato Sicarius:

Blades of Damocles:

Uses his squad as bait so he can use a borrowed jetpack to jump onto Tau Sunshark bombers and beahead their pilots with his sword

Fall of Damnos:

Uses his company as bait so he can use a borrowed jetpack to jump onto a Necron monolith and blow it up from the inside

Black Reach:

Uses his company and the Imperial Guard as bait so he can fight the Ork Warboss one on one and win

Chapter’s Due:

Uses his recon squad as bait so he can draw out the corsair queen and kill her

Knight of Talassar:

Uses his company, his Dreadnoughts an an entire regiment of Kriegers as bait for an Ork-controlled starfort so he can board it and kill the warboss

Reposting from last thread since I'm still a newb to this whole thing and could need some help regarding my stupidness.

Since 8th released I can't seem to get close enough to 500 pts with my AdMech/Skitarii basic box (since I'm missing some stuff like relics I guess?). Am I missing something, or am I just really dumb because I'm a newbie to this whole thing?

Current list:

HQ: Tech Priest Dominus
>Macrostubber, Volkite Blaster, Omnissian Axe, Refractor Field
>135 point as he's basic

Troops: one 10man troop of Skitarii Vanguards
>9 standard Vanguard, 1 Alpha (10 pts each for 100 pts)
>Equipped with 3 Plasma Caliver (14 pts each, total 42)
>Alpha got the standard loadout (Radium carbine, nothing else)
>got the Omnispex (7 pts)
>Total points here 149

Heavy Support: Onager Dunecrawler
>Comes with a netron laser and 2 Heavy Stubber (45+8+8)
>Total for 151 points

>Sum of everything: 435

Should I add anything equipment-like in there (other weapons for Dominus or the Alpha maybe?) or is this 435 list ok so far? I feel like I'm missing out on stuff. Also, there aren't any formations yet like back in 7th right? What do I choose now? (I used to play with the Dominus Maniple with this list)

Rotor cannon shitposter wasn't a very long trend and I've only seen it come up in one or two threads since the first time, but it was basically one guy sperging out at someone who used the term "assault cannon" for a gun and saying it was a rotor cannon and then he devolved into making dumb comments at totally irrelevant posts like "you're a rotor cannon you rotor cannon" with the awkwardness of a middle schooler forcing shitty your mom jokes into the conversations of total strangers.

Well lads, the conscript meme is officially dead.

Just finished up a "game" against the unholy fucknought, the mofo literally knocked out a 40-man blob T1. Woo hoo

I love the naught and conscripts both, but it makes me sad that FW was so stupid they put a unit that overpowered out there. It can BTFO a knight, a blob, and unit of marines with no problem whatsoever

At least the meme died, that's a plus

Just finished a "tourney practice" game, space marines vs conscript spam.
Conscript spam is a massive fucking joke in the face of mortis grav flux levithan, especially when you have guilliman nearby to give rerolls and protect against charges.
Also, ancient+centurions+apothecary make for a scary unit, getting to come back from the dead after you shoot when you die makes them a pest to get rid of.
Also, as if this was ever in doubt, bobby G is a beast.

But the biggest take away I got was that hordes are fucked in the face of grav flux, I'd be shocked if it doesn't appear in every marine tournament list that allows FW.

They just get outran by deathwatch unless the enemy beats him to the alpha strike before he can move. My tip was to get more of his army to hit the enemy at once, like how I coordinate my immolators.

It may have just been the spearhead deployment combined with the fact he took first turn, but it was a joke.

>shot off 9 HP from my knight
>killed a full blob and commissar
>destroyed a full kataphron squad


The big thing I take away (despite my knight household retainers needing a redesign) is that turn 1 is stuuuupidly powerful, especially with the closer deployment maps. Which is fun, but I got railroaded before the game even began.

Plus the reroll hit/wound thing with gilly is stupidly powerful, but I don't like army wide buffbubbles in general, so take it with a grain of salt

I strongly considered this since it's hilarious and I always wanted to run DL Scourges, but it's less mobile than a Ravager, gets -1 to hit for moving, costs more than the Ravager, is way easier to kill, loses weapons as it takes fire, etc. I don't really see the point.

>>53874563

It says 9"+ and I'm pretty sure melta works as within 9". I'm not sure, maybe you can set up on the exact edge and shoot them. I think it's better to just deep strike behind some big rock thing and then jump over it and blast them in the face the next turn.

But yeah I see that HLs will basically kill the fucking shit out of anything they even consider looking at, it's just that they cost a billion points. I still think Scourgespam is a 10/10 strategy though, if only for the lulz it can produce with a bunch of deepstriking heavy weapons all over the map.

Hormagaunts aren't for killing things. They weren't in 7th and they aren't in 8th. They are cheap, fast tarpitting units.
Make use of their 6"consolidation moves in combat, it has several very good uses. Dragging new units into combat without suffering overwatch (difficult, since you have to move towards the nearest enemy model, but absolutely possible if you set yourself up right and have a large enough unit)
Also, realize that almost nothing can fall back out of combat if you surround them in Hormagaunts. You have a total 12" consolidation move per combat phase. Use that.

No, but trying to kill it in close combat is a fool's errand anyway. Just shoot it, grav flux, while powerful, is only 18” range. And you'll never get into combat with it before it's done it's job, since any competent player will use screen units.

It blows my mind too. Slab is considered all around better. If you have Psyker buffs they can have 1+ armor or if they are in cover that happens too. At that point they are the same against - 3 ap.

Kek, is it that big a surprise? The kind of Tau player who would go to a tournament would be bringing Riptides and Suitspam, no wonder he got fucking destroyed.

The Tau would be the human protagonists in any other SF setting. They check all the boxes for the usual human racial sci-fi tropes - dogged persistence, short life spans, high degree of technical innovation, flexible and pragmatic style of war, and diplomatic negotiation before open warfare.

It better not be, as much as GW Jews your money FW is looking more and more like a pay to win army. If certain LoWs and a few other things get price knockarounds it'd be cool generally, but shit's kinda broke as is

Mortis Levithan gets shit on by knights. It'll get one, maybe two turns of shooting off before the knights charges and cuts it in half.

we don't even have the rules for more than, what, four units, and even those ones we don't have their match play point values (and their power levels were all really fucking high). so... you're making this claim on the back of what evidence exactly?
>>
>>53874800
Tau dont like giving their guys dangerous weapons so it's more low powered in exchange for being more safe.

It used to be considered better than an imperial plasma, by virtue of being safe, but 8th took gets hot off the basic plasma gun and gave it a dangerous super mode while the tau plasma got nothing.

Guilliman is probably the most level headed dude in all the Imperium.

>>53874823

Yeah, maybe if you don't know how to play the game. Nothing FW makes is that much harder to kill than a knight or land raider, and if you aren't making a list that can take those on then you're shit at the game.

Why 2 Runtherds? You don't need 1 per 10 grots anymore. Just one is enough to keep any sized Grot mob in line. Dropping him would get you another 9 grots, much better investment.

Kombi-Skorchas are also better than Combi-Rokkits. Oh, and give him an Attack Squig because they're free. Consider a Big Choppa on the Boyz Nob too; they're a genuine alternative and at low points values you could probably get more mileage out of a few more bodies on the field.

I'll be the first to admit I've not read up much on Farsight apart from what's in the main Tau codecies, but isn't it because he's become released from the control of the Ethereals? He thinks the Tau Empire no longer need the "queen" caste in order to operate, and believes the Ethereals are damning the race by refusing to address Chaos/The Warp/ Just how fucking awful the galaxy is.
>>
>>53874898
Just look at the leviathan, it takes like 20-something lascannon to statistically kill it, (or like 100 autocannons or something) AND as people have mentioned earlier it brings the wrath of the emperor down in anything in its way.

Which is fine (I for one love how cinematic 8th makes you feel as units are both tough to kill and good at killing), but the thing should cost more than 300 points. More like 400+.

No one uses those.

But the guy whining about 8" synapse is a dumb bitch, it's rarely an issue in this edition when defending player allocates Wounds, pile-ins are optional, Warriors are cheap, and everything that's not a Warrior is fast. The only way you're going to lose synapse is if you're really fucking bad at the game or your opponent actually kills your synapse creatures. 8" is plenty of range.

As an Ork player, I would genuinely love to play that matchup.
>>
>>53875062
It takes 18 lascannons to kill, and a knight takes 23 and it only costs about 100 points more than a levithan. That's 125 points more of lascannons it takes to kill a knight for less than 125 points more. Like I said, if your building a competive list and you can't take out a levithan you suck at list building and are fucked anyways when someone brings a knight, land raider, wraithknight or any such model which will definitely appear in competive games.

Guys, I have a problem.

My entire hobbyshop persona is that I'm the guy with the unkillable "smashfeather" character.

My dude is somewhat of a namesake of the hobbyshop and have been for two editions or so.

My dude has never, EVER died, even when my opponent near-tables me round 5 somehow 'Smash Feather' still survives to tell the tale.

He's been been standing toe-to-toe with Wraith knights for 3+ turns and flipped over Super heavy vehicles that tried to ram him.

Is there any way I can make a "Smash fucker"-like character in 8th ?

>Must be Space Marine
>Must be a solo character
>Can be at most supported by 1 other squad

>Needs to be able to reliably survive a full turn of an entire 2000p army shooting at him and his squad

My idea is to use that new Relic salamander character dreadnought with a bodyguard of some sort. He's sub 10 wounds so he can't be singled out if his bodyguards are nearby and is pretty brutal in melee and resilient.

I can easily 'fluff' him up to be the last living remains of my previous beat-up-to-shit Smash Feather character.

Is there anything better ?

I know this sounds extremely gay, but I quite like being 'that guy with the unkillable dude'. MANY high-fives and "let's grab a beer : )" comments abound.

I primed this guy(yes, he TOOK THE KNOT last night, but now is going as a Storm Warden), or more appropriately, finished priming him with some spray from Walmart(will post exact can in a reply.), because my blackshirt missed his underside completely and compared it to Chaos Black that the blackshirt used. On the shoulderpad's outer(left) side is the spray I used, and inward(right) and the helmet is Chaos Black. It's slightly more matte, but otherwise identical to Chaos black. This was also sprayed in 85*F, 52% humidity. It works DAMN well. You just have to not handle the mini for a good while so the paint can bond correctly.
>>
>>53875199
It's not gonna happen. 8th edition had specific design goals in mind, one of them was making sure that character can absolutely no longer exist. Any 2k point army that can focus all its fire on one guy for a turn is going to erase him, end of story.

I played a similar game back in 6th, though it was 100 Typhus-led zombies vs my 120 Boy list. It wasn't planned or anything, we just sat down for a game, pulled out our respective armies and started laughing.

It was fucking glorious. Both sides were Fearless, either because of Mob Rule or being inherently Fearless, so combats weren't stopping for any reason. We rolled up Night Fight too, so it was thematic as hell; Orks lazing around in their settlement when suddenly out of the darkness emerges a massive shambling horde.

The highlights were the shit Typhus was pulling. At one stage I had him locked in combat on a bridge surrounded by 20+ Boyz. He pulled out his nova power that hits everything within 9", or something like that. Most of the mob got wiped. We were laughing our arses off. Then he used a nurgle power on a 30 strong mob of Shoota boyz to give their weapons all Gets Hot! Orks being Orks, they looked down at their glowing, sparking weapons and fired them anyway. 11 died in the end as I recall. To this day neither of us remember who won, but every time we run into each other we mention the awesome zombie game we played. It was just pure fun.

It's some marketing meme or something. It's not literal. You can accidentally overspray with this shit or the camouflage line they have and it will go right the fuck down.

Claw by fucking far. The Warpclaw gets you six attacks, meaning you can almost sorta fight in melee against infantry. The Sword is basically a shittier version of the Iron Claw you get no matter which you pick, though with the advantage of rerolling to hit it could be nice if you have no other source of rerolls.

Pfft, Nurgle Soul Grinder or Defiler with a Herald nearby casting Virulent Blessing on it wounds on 2+ against it. I'm pretty sure a charging Khorne Daemon Prince of Chaos with a Daemonic Axe wounds it on 4+, 3+ with a herald nearby.
I'm surprised the other titans are lower to be honest. I would have expected a 14 in the titan lineup though, since that would mean "basic" anti vehicle weapons still wound on 6+ but all the 8 and 9 strength weapons still wound on 5+. 16 means you need a lascannon to scratch his balls.

Thing is, aside from the fact character customization for everyone is mostly fucking gone, Mortal Wounds mean you can never stack defences high enough to pull that. Unless your name is Mortarion, 20 Fulgurites charging a character WILL kill it, and we don't know about Morty yet. Even if you could get the exact same Smashfucker setup this Edition, he would still get no saves (since FnP doesn't exist anymore). So no, no more bullshit like that, closest you can get is a reskinned Guilliman.

And hopefully it remains this way. Else you're gonna find out the War in Heaven went down because of the Silent Kings daddy issues turning him to Chaos and the Horus Heresy was unnecessary because AYKSHUALLY Chaos won even back then, can't be beaten and you should suck it's dick. Also, Abaddon shows up and kills all the Old Ones personally with his OC-Donutsteel-tier demon buddy. And for some reason, absolutely everyone was a dick to each other, but it was all just as planned by Tzeentch. Go buy Chaos!

The "smites only" problem is sort of a problem you would have in any larger point game even if they had access to their own 3 spells. In Matched Play you can only use a given spell once per turn except smite, so after a handful of psykers you spam smite anyway.
Currently it seems Daemons (with their access to 3 spell lists plus Dark Hereticus and Contagion if you take "Chaos" as your keyword) are the only "scalable" psykers. They really need to add "primaris" powers back in as powers you can use multiple times a turn like smite so each school of psychic shit feels different. I get that smite is meant to represent a variety of different attack spells and thematically the thousand sons dudes are throwing flickering fire or whatever whilst wyrdvanes are channeling lightning out of their brain but it still needs to change.

The way those "FNP-likes" works is that its per damage you take though, not each attack. So if someone hits you with a lascannon its not one 4+ to block the whole thing, its a seperate 4+ for each damage.

Only shitposters and morons, or both in your case, think that old Thousand Sons were weak. Old Thousand Sons wrecked face in the psychic phase and had decent anti-MEQ shooting. New Thousand Sons are kinda okay at shooting. Coupled with their durability taking a significant hit, Thousand Sons got nerfed.

It wouldn't be so bad if at least some of the Tzeentch units had cross-faction synergistic abilities, but lolnope. Buy, hey, at least GW let us still take Rubricae as troops. At the cost of locking us out even more of the CSM synergy effects.

The "FNP-likes" don't trigger on an unsaved wound and then block that wound, they trigger on "losing a wound" as in losing your health. Reread the rules for disgustingly resilient, voltagheist field etc. Damage is the number of wounds you lose if you don't save, then each one of those wounds you lose causes a seperate roll on your FNP-like.

200 minis is very doable with certain armies. you can paint tyranids almost entirely with washes on top of white primer. orks are similar but some layer paints are also involved. for space marines you can get a lot of them done with an airbrush and go in with a normal paint brush for the fine details.
>>
Is there a second source/file of the 8th rulebook ePub, it's the only one of the current leaks that will not open in my reader. No idea why..
>>
>>53876219
Yes they do, though not all at once. Honestly the best way to be lazy about it is spray paint the minis a colour, then paint on one other colour + the metal bits. That way you can go back for things like eyes, symbols, shades, highlights, better coloring or whatever later, but have something workable for now.

For example spray paint some chaos space marines black, paint some gold lines around the shoulderpads, knees and the ankle things and then paint metal over the boltgun. Will it look great? No but from a distance it will look slightly better than just spray painted black and you can add on more detail later on and improve it.

>>53876233
Primaris Marines in the set are seriously ill equipped for what they are fighting. They don't have enough shots with their regular weapons to kill the poxwalkers fast enough except on their inceptors, but their inceptors are the best choice to shoot the plague marines. The plasma guns are the only thing they have to kill the Bloat Drone but after that they become overkill and too few shots to deal with the other guys. The aura bubble of the primaris dudes can give them some great rerolls and shit for consistency but there's way too much defensive shit on the nurgle side for them to kill it fast enough whilst the Bloat Drone, Plague Marines and Lord of Contagion are hilariously deadly against them. Not to mention all the mortal wounds being chucked out by the sorceror. It doesn't help that the Plague Champion requires them to kill six other Plague Marines to get rid of and he has two power fist attacks + a plasma pistol shot to tear apart their HQs better than their actual HQs can tear apart his squad.

I think some of the points for Death Guard stuff was done last minute. If you read the "Death Guard" rulebook in the starter set the points are quite different to what's in the Index. When i asked the manager at the GW which i should use he said you have to use the most recent publication and since they both came out on the same day its up to the player as they are both the most recent publication. The Index is generally cheaper pointswise.

ACCESS TO IMPERIUM SHENANIGANS

TOUGHEST C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R in the game BAR NONE.
Can survive an untold amount of firepower if you take his bodyguard into consideration.

Smashfucker 3.0 is here

go to bed noobs

lol sweet new meme can't wait to see nobody ever run it
>>
>>53876861
do you even mortal wounds?
>>
>>53876919
Mortal wounds from what ?

Some retard posted a ranged attack.

You can't hit Smashfucker 3.0 with ranged attacks because he's a character with models nearby.

Got any real counters or you just showing your ignorance ?
>>
>>53875265
With all those lascannon longfangs vs. wargearless conscripts, sounds like op was at the disadvantage
>>
how are the new Death Guard models in 8th ruleswise? I want to paint some up but not if they're trash on the tabletop.
>>
>>53876960
>implying your bodyguard can't be killed
>>
>>53877081
You gonna kill my WHOLE ARMY before you hit my Smashfucker 3.0 ?

oohh gee wiz
>>
>>53876073
10 of these infiltrated behind cover

JSJ in n out for a steady supply of mortal wounds

90 pts

Gotta charge 'em to kill 'em

And now you've wasted multiple turns hunting down an enemy that's near nothing of note or use
>>
>>53875783
The real question is where is the age of strife game set on terra with thunder warriors vs techno barbarians ?
>>
>>53877161
10 squads of ratlings
or 10 ratlings ?

10 of them can hardly scratch smashfucker 3.0, if any injury is made it's repaired/healed or simply ignored while he's ripping your whole army a new one.
>>
Tell me about Deff Dreads, Killa Kans, and Orkanauts my boyz.

Are they viable to use now? Especially the Deff Dreads

Is the best loadouts still 1 Skorcha on Deffs and Grotzookas/Rokkits on the Kans?
>>
>>53877266
How many wounds does he have, anyway?
>>
>>53873673
Where'd you steal this from I read the same thing a couple of days ago...
>>
>>53876073

Found it stolen from some Reddit thread. Naught naught anon.

>>53877379
Eh, I'll just wrap him in 200 points of conscripts and leave him to flounder for like 5 turns.
>>
>>53877482
>conscript meme

Really, that's all you've got ?
>>
>>53877516
How many can you kill per turn? If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.
>>
>>53877603
I'm not saying conscript meme is not working. Conscripts are a decent gimmick.

But this is Smash fucker 3.0

He's supposed to be tough, not meme-proof.

You can bog down Titans with conscripts in both 7th and 8th.

Smashfucker 3.0 doesn't try to break the rules of the game. He just tries to be intimidating and tanky while raping non-meme armies on his own.

He'll stay alive through dozens and dozens of games, campaigns and bring you fame in your hobby shop.
>>
>>53876960

if you're within twelve inches of your enemy they can target you instead of your group

read the fucking rules
>>
>>53877151
If you're surrounding him with your whole army, then he's doing nothing. Sounds like a good plan :)
>>
>>53877763
meh, a kytan ravager would eat him
>>
>>53877763
>spamming obtuse rule combos to create an indestructible unit

You realize the original Smashfucker was cheese, right? How is that supposed to bring me 'fame in my hobby shop'?

I'd rather carefully paint, base and model 100 conscripts, then march down the enemies of Man and crush them beneath my jackboots.
>>
>>53878089
conshits have been proven useless already though
>>
>>53877321
This. I have a box of Kans waiting to be built
>>
>>53878130
Except they're really not. You can math and meme all you like, but I went ahead and actually ran a conscript blob today.

They ate frag missiles, boltguns, and psychic powers, and died in droves. But they sat on the objective and swarmed it with dudes while all the actual DPS units I bought with all the points I had because they're SO. DAMN. CHEAP. killed the enemy stone dead.

I tabled him on turn 3.

If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
>>
Can you character snipe with psychic powers?
>>
>>53875708
Eh. Means they aren't taking Neutron Lasers. Basically your buddy did some list tailoring.
>>
>>53878223
Some of them yes. Many require you the target the closest unit on their own, but for those that don't you can target characters freely because they aren't shooting.
>>
>>53878274
Cool.
>>
>>53873342
Suicide melta squads can be good. Lias Issodon can not-Scout them into Melta range, and a Scout squad can serve as ablative wounds.
