There needs to be an appreciable benefit for picking a random custom keyword for your army. Otherwise, why wouldn't you pick Ultramarines? Picking something like Wu Tang Clan needs to reward you. You no longer get to use Cato Sicarius or Guilliman's abilities, but in exchange, let's say you get to have a generic HQ that is really good and Ultramarines cannot use because they already have Marneus Calgar.

Let's see if I remember all the units that were in the Dark Imperium book:

Intercessor: Tacticals
Inceptor: Jump Infantry
Aggressor: Devastators

So the tags we have are chapter, regiment, klan, sept, craftworld, dynasty and hive fleet right
That tells us the major faction groups are and what the codices will cover
Those tags are meaningless currently but the codices will change that
>>
>>53901193

It'll come in the Codex. Stuff like Inquisitors choosing their Ordo from the list already grant them bonuses. It's likely this is how Chapter Tactics and Clans and Hive Fleets are going to work when their associated Codex rolls around.

As for right now, we're swimming in the interim, the Indexes are just to haul 7e into 8e in one big push, but they're going to have to sort out the flavorful rules on a case-by-case basis.
>>
>>53901225

That particular color might be hard to pull off, depending on what you're going for. This is also more of a personal taste thing, but I think it'd be better if the lens color was uniform.

It's a solid enough scheme, just a bit plain. Consider some markings on the kneepads to offer a bit more color.

Aggressors aren't devastators they're centurions/terminators. Hellblasters would be more devastator like if they weren't a special weapons squad/command squad. The Primaris devastator equivalent needs to be wearing mk x primaris armor.

Rhinos are squishy but Crusaders are squishier, so use them.

Priests are good.

DCA and arco-flagellants are okay but got nerfed a bit since 7e.

Basically, bumrush up the field with your melee dudes in tanks. Have your Inquisitor run whatever Ordo against your opponent, then have plasma acolytes running around with him shooting shit.

You're probably gonna want SOME Guard or Sisters as backup. Acolytes sadly can't be the super cheap bolter boys they once were.

>Not using Cawl's model and rules, but naming your guy something else and painting him however the fuck the rest of Your Dudes are painted
Bonus points if you convert a dreadnought-sized techpriest that fits with Your Dudes and use Cawl's rules to represent them.
That goes for literally any other army where the special character is what you want but you have your own OC Chapter/Regiment/Craftworld/Legion/whatever the fuck.

I was just copying the Primaris example in the Dark Imperium book, for some reason Ultramarines give sergeants a different lens color. Figured I'd try it.
I'll definitely consider adding some markings later, I'm not too confident in my mspaint skills though.

Tactical squad with combi-flamer, plasma, plasma cannon (175)
Tactical squad with combi-flamer, plasma, plasma cannon (175)
Scout squad with sniper rifles and camo (90)

Contemptor dreadnought with multimelta (167)

Land raider crusader with hunter-killer missile, multimelta, storm bolter (322)

5 cataphractii terminators (Combi + sword, chainfist + heavy flamer, combi + chainfist, combi + power fist, LC+LC) (254)

Apothecary (55)

Relic sicaran venator with 3 heavy bolters, storm bolter, and hunter-killer missile (283)


Outrider detachment:

Primaris Lt with bolt rifle (74)

Tarantula with twin heavy bolter (27)

Tarantula with twin assault cannon (45)

Tarantula with twin lascannon (60)


I could get another CP by turning the sicaran venator into a deimos predator with plasma destroyer and 2 lascannons + another primaris LT or a techmarine or some other cheap HQ.


Any thoughts on this?

This WAS a legit List before they killed the ethereal passive. It used to work like so, you run a cadre fireblade and an ethereal, and Loads of Fire warrior. The fireblade gave every Fire warrior +1 Shot when they fired, and the etherial let you fire your Pulse Weapons twice, essentally turning a 12 man squad of fire warriors into 48 str 5 shots at 30 inches, and at 15 inches, 72 shots, that you can overwatch, and with each squad being able to coverfire each other in overwatch, it made for some strong shooting phases with relatively Little difficulty.
BUT since they removed the doubled fire ability from ethereals you essentially halved your infantry fire power, AND since they changed how saves and armor works, pulse rifles no longer ignore low armor enemies, like orcs or guard saves, reducing their effectivity.overall i'm upset with the changes, however suits seem fun now.

But yeah I thought the lt's gun was AP-1 like other primaris.

There's 6 things in the list that can be repaired, and Vaylund isn't going to be spending a lot of time doing that likely.

I also decided to give him a different hand, and make his gun the choppa. I kinda want it to look like he's signalling the boyz to frag em.

As a Harlequin player I can tell that one of two things will happen here.

Either you will get DEMOLISHED, or you will do the demolishing. And this comes down entirely to whether or not your opponent brings Fusion pistols. Here's why:

You will not easily shoot his transports to death. If he has pistols he'll zip up to 3" away from your landraider and blap it with like 3-6 melta pistols then charge it (if it survives) with his transport to turn off your lascannons. He will easily win a combat against any of your units with a single Troupe + Troupe Master as long as he gets the charge off, so if you pile out to punch his transport then you're ensuring your own death.

If he doesn't do that, then he has no way to crack the landraider and will be forced to lock it in combat with a transport for the whole game. If you can catch him in the open (if he gets out or you break the starweaver) then your bolter volume of fire will kill his dudes easy. And if you can charge him you can kill enough to reduce his melee power.

Your footslogging berserkers will die to shuriken cannons turn 1-2 or so because he has no other target for them.

Basically, if he catches you in the open by popping your vehicles with melta, you lose.

If you pop his vehicles and catch him in the open, he loses.

Good luck! Harlies are fun because every game is like this. Kill or be killed.
>>
>>53902320
Fortunately, the Start Collecting box is actually extremely good right now, especially because it has some crazy good savings in it.

Skitarii are the cyborg legions that serve as the soldiers of the Cult Mechanicus, whereas the Cult Mechanicus contains the Priests whom serve as their commanders of lords of technology and science in the Imperium.
>>
>>53902320
They used to be two separate armies, now there is no difference. The Start Collecting! Skitarii box is a good starting point.
>>
>>53902324
Cool.

For that I could get two battallion detachments of 2 broodlords and 60 genestealers each, and still have about 500 points left over for stuff like trygon primes, carnifexes, hive tyrants, or maybe just a pair of exocrines.
>>
>>53902349
Berserkers are going to hitch a ride in the Land Raider, actually.
>>
>>53902320

Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus were released separately, rather than as a unified faction, so they have different keywords legacied in.

In 8e, it looks like they can be fielded as one, with everything adopting the Canticles of the Omnissiah rules for the army, and everything can be fielded together in a single detachment without any formation shenanigans.

The Start Collecting box is very solid, with a good HQ, good troops, and a good tank to form a solid core of your army to build off of. After that, some more troops and anything else to fill in the rest, be it another tank, a few dragoons, or some Cult Mechanicus weirdos.

Vanguard, in my opinion. They're cooler.

That and they are probably still better than rangers.
>>
>>53902384
They both have their place. You're better off building mostly Vanguard as they put out more firepower with a squad or two of rangers to support them with their longer range.
>>
>>53902376
Ah, I should have figured that out. Then it's about 2 turns to gat your tacticals. He can easily have 6 shuriken cannons at 1k points, if not more. They're useless against your tanks.

>>
>>53902384

Vanguard are the superior, but are a little close ranged. Rangers have range but less power.

Generally, have more Vanguard than Rangers, and give your Vanguard Plasma Calivers (in part because the range is the same and it fires the same number of shots, making the math easy) and give your Rangers some Transuranic Arquebuses so they can snipe from afar with some ranged babysitters.

Vanguard are for up close and personal, and so should make up the bulk of your fighting troops because they can be a bigger threat in the thick of it.

The problem is that if he has melta pistols then turn 1 he'll be fairly close to your LR due to his 22" advance distance. He only needs to survive 1 turn of lascannons (he will, with a -1 to hit and 4++). Turn 2 he moves 16" closer and is now 3-6" away from your LR and fires all his melta pistols at you and very possibly blasts your LR apart. If he doesn't, then the transport charges and you have no more lascannons.

So then you get out, willingly or not, and charge a 100 point starweaver. Woohoo! You probably kill it, but it is T5 6W 4++ so maybe not. Either way, you are now in the open in front of 5 Harlequins and 1 Troupe Master who just disembarked. Termies, Berserkers, CSMs, doesn't matter. You're dead.

Basically, ask him which guys have fusion pistols and which transport they're in. If he says "none" then your plan will work. If he says "this one," then you fire everything at it and do whatever you can to keep that transport from reaching point blank range on your land raider.

If he has a shadowseer then theoretically he could just double move the transport into your face turn 1, but that can be somewhat mitigated by deploying further back.

Here's how it's going down, bros

3 more Primarchs are returning to aid Guilliman in bringing back a new, stable age of the Imperium. Roboute will take a backseat after the Indomitus Crusade to rule the imperium, while the Lion (with the ocassional aid of Russ) does the bulk of vs. Chaos fighting.

Russ will mostly be there to keep the Imperium from fracturing directly while Guilliman is being a statesman, and will come to blows with several chapters, one infamously known as Marines Malevolent.

Jaghatai will feature in various battles against the Xenos. Tau incursions, Necrons, and another large hive fleet will be his challenges.

Another Anon doing Imperial Guard tau. I have 2 devilfish, each with a fireblade commander, a minimum pathfinder squad with 3 rail rifles, a pulse accellerator drone, and a recon drone, and a 5 man striker squad with a missile turret. Backing this up is a rail rifle longstrike bubble wrapped with Kroot and hounds.

The idea is that the pulse accel drone increases the rapid fire range to 18", so each warrior gets 3 shots at that distance. The two drones on the devilfish provide additional dakka + some protection. Pathfinders with rail rifles and recon drones take out the hard targets. There's seekers and enough markerlights to launch them properly. You use your command point rerolls to make certain longstrike hits.

It's a little barebones, but that's a hundred point list for you.

I find this... surprisingly believable.

Khan would be the right Primarch to bring back when they start adding all the new Primaris Bike/Landspeeder replacements. I would have expected Dorn, though.

Lion is a shoe-in for the next to return.

Russ is almost guaranteed since unlike Sang he's not super dead.

Do you have a source for this, is it speculation, or what? The sad thing is this is probably fake but still a better idea than whatever GW will actually start doing.

If he has one transport full of them then you can deal. Focus fire it with everything as it approaches and you'll probably break it. Especially if you can get your smite off (key b/c no invul/hit mods). Don't deploy on the starting line like an idiot.

If he has three of them, then you just need to be ready to lose a land raider.

Not saying it's an impossible matchup, but I'm trying to assume that your opponent is maximally competent. Obviously that may not be the case. Lots of people are still figuring these things out.

Yes they will, and yes the indexes will be invalidated right away, they don't give a fuck.

Yes, those would do great actually. If you're purely building to counter him then a Predator would be just the thing. Autocannon as the main gun and either HBs or LC sponsons (HBs will help more against the infantry once he's out). Havocs could have trouble if he focuses the shuriken cannons on them.

I'm serious, the reason I brought lots of tanks was to endure massed firepower. If he can field so much of it so quickly would I not be better off just deploying the maximum number of Havocs and Bolter CSM? It seems like mass rather than concentrated firepower would be more effective.

Flamers on the infantry over lascannons DESU. It's the infantry you need to be afraid of. I also would consider a Sorcerer since Smite cuts right through 4++ saves. Though I don't know what fancy buff the Lord gives you so maybe that's bad advice.

Consider a few ablative wounds for the Havocs so that you don't lose heavy weapons to stray Shuriken cannon shots.

I don't know enough about traitors but you are gonna be slogging a long way to get to objectives and assault armies are gonna rip you to pieces. You really need some armor to get where you need or maybe some deepstrike.

A mob of boyz is gonna turn you to mulch without much effort too. Remember damage doesn't carry over between models so 1dmg and 6 dmg are meaningless to 1w units.

Drill the barrels

Make the barrels longer, add shrouds to the extended barrels

Add more sights

Add more magazines, one to each side and one sticking out the bottom of the current one.

When you paint it make it a gaudy gold.

btw, clean mold lines before you assemble, it makes life way easier
>>
>>53902847
Primaris should be fine for fighting other space marines and chaos space marines.

They will be complete trash against any army with, say, more than 60 infantry models. They just don't have volume of fire. The best they can do is 18 half-range heavy bolter shots from inceptors for over 200 points.


Also don't give your custodians spears, give them shields. Without shields they will be eaten fucking alive by things like genestealers.

Aight, so clarify this for me, because I'm still a bit confused.

8th ED Wraithknight

He's equipped with dual Wraithcannons, and two Starcannons.

Shooting phase, he can fire all his weapons? So shoots both Wraithcannons, then both Starcannons?

Assault phase, the unit he shot at is somehow still alive and he charges it/makes it in.

He now has 12 attacks from Titanic Feet.

Wraithbone hands are a melee option you can choose, but totally ignore.

Is this all correct, or am I misunderstanding shit?
>>
>>53902847
Like all multiwound models without invuln or mega toughness...terrible.

You pay through the nose for those extra wounds, (believe it or not) lose out on firepower compared to tacticals and basically every special weapon in the game does 2+ dmg so you die just as fast as marines (even faster because armor isn't binary and AP4 weapons actually fuck you now)
>>

>>53902908

>>
>>53902867
For real. Intercessors for example will be lucky if they make their points back over the course of a game if shooting at termagants. That would be 5 dead termagants, which would take 12 shots from their bolt rifles to accomplish.
>>
>>53902867
points are already at max but ill see what i can cut.
>>
>>53902925
For starters, ancients aren't very good unless they're the blood angel or dark angel ancients. +1 LD and getting to make a swing or a shot when they die sometimes is garbage. Drop that guy.
>>
>>53902917
Yeah I like the look of something like that. Your primary concern then is just making sure that you don't get all your infantry locked up in combat at once. Just be sure to stagger yourself back a bit from your deployment line and confirm with him what his maximum threat ranges are before you end your 1st or 2nd turn movement phase (the one before he gets out to charge).
>>
Kans with Rokkits, KMB, or Grotzookas?
>>
>>53902902
All correct
>>
>>53902902
Starcannons are Heavy. You cannot charge in the same turn you fire a Heavy weapon. Aside from that, sound right.
>>
>>53902974
have you read 8th or are you just a fucking retard
>>
>>53902951
For that matter, you've got deathwing knights but not a deathwing ancient. Half the reason to take deathwing is because of the ancient giving +1 attacks. I don't give a shit what you drop to do it, but you need to find the 40 or so points to replace your primaris ancient with the deathwing one.

So, this thing happened, where GW updated the game. There's actually a new edition out. I know this might be shocking to you, but some of the rules have changed slightly. But don't worry, the new rules are only 8 pages long! I know you must not have heard about this yet, because if you did, you would have already read these rules back to front and memorized them, because they're only 8 fucking pages long, and if you didn't do that already you would be some kind of complete fucking faggot.

But I know that's not you, anon.
>>
>>53902974
Any of your units within 12" of the enemy in your Charge
phase can make a charge move. You may not choose a
unit that Advanced or Fell Back this turn, nor one that
started the Charge phase within 1" of an enemy.

No mention of heavy weapons at all

It's not to stop you from playing your own unique successor chapter. It's to stop you from having a dozen special characters and unique units from different chapters all providing and benefiting from each other's bonuses. Use the chapter keyword that fits your custom chapter the best.

Question about rapid fire and large units shooting.
If I have, say, 60 Conscripts and 10 are in "Rapid Fire" Range, do all 60 get to shoot?

You check model by model. Each model within 12" of the enemy shoots 2 shots, each model within 24" shoots one shot, and each model outside 24" cannot shoot.

So if you're going to insist on using those shitty models, here's what you should do. This list is pretty close to what you have there, with some important additions and subtractions.
>>
>>53903103
I think it's so everything is phrased the same across all factions.
>>
>>53903101
Range is drawn from the firing model, if you have 40 conscripts in range, and 20 out of range then only those 40 get to fire. If half of those firing are within rapid fire range, then you'd have 20 conscripts firing rapid fire, 20 firing normally, and 20 unable to fire.

So while I was off not playing 40k they added something called the Skitarri?

So... they're basically a variant of cyborg-undead? What do they play like?

Apparently they also added mini-titans to the game... guess Epic 40k isn't a thing anymore? Is the quickest way to 2000 points to just go with a few Knights? Are they even designed to be played by their own, or are they meant to be used with like IG or SM or what have you?
>>
>>53903270
A few Knights will get you to 2000, but they're pretty spendy. Your mileage will vary depending on opponent, but one of the main threats this edition is massed infantry, which Knights can struggle to kill fast enough.
>>
>>53903270
Skitarii are just the foot soldiers of the AdMech. They're not undead, just cyborgs. AdMech in general rely heavily on trying to bring overwhelming firepower to the table and bring either cheap disposable units like skitarii or tougher but expensive and low model count servitors and robots. Also crab tanks and chicken walkers.

I don't think Intercessor Chads are that bad. They shouldn't be getting shot with multi-wound weapons if you have more threatening targets in your army, so they are a 100 points squad with the same durability as a full tactical squad.

Realistically, you won't see the hypothetical 500 con list. 100-200 lists are very much a possibility though, and until something changes, both one of the most efficient sources of firepower and one of the most annoying things to actually kill.

Just want to ask for some confirmation on rules.

Specifically for Warlock's conceal.

"Conceal: Your opponent must subtract 1 from all hit rolls for
ranged weapons that target the psyker or friendly ASURYANI
INFANTRYor ASURYANIBIKER units within 3" of the
psyker until your next Psychic phase."

Does this mean that if even only one model of a unit is within 3" of the Warlock, the whole unit gains conceal?

I think it needs more bodies on the field, perhaps a 20 blob of neophytes and a 12 blob of genestealers. This is because you want to attach a squad to each of your HQ's for Cult Ambush. I've heard armoured sentinels aren't as useful as scout sentinels. Also I don't like Goliath Rockgrinders that much.

They don't even look like chaos space marines. No horns, modern clean armor, etc.

So, a Space Wolves Swiftclaw Attack Bike is allowed to swap its Bolt Pistols for Chainswords, but only if it's being taken as part of a normal Swiftclaw unit, as opposed to a Swiftclaw Attack Bike unit. That's super funky.
>>
What's better, a tervigon with a blob of 20/10 devilgants or a malanthrope with 2x30 hormagaunts?
>>
>>53903723
Correct. This is how most 8th edition auras work, and it results in a "wheel spoke" or "octopus" formation in a lot of armies that use multiple character auras.
>>
2 squads of 5 man Arquebus rangers or 1 squad of 10 man Arquebus rangers?

Also, can I build more than one Alpha in a single 10 man kit or will I have to get 2 sets to do that?

Ranger Alphas don't really have a distinctive head. Even though the instructions suggest the head with the hood down official depictions, even the box cover, shows them with just a regular Ranger head. IIRC there's two Vanguard Alpha heads in each box though.

Two squads of Rangers is a bit move flexible but one squad gives you that much more chance of finishing setting up first, and thus probably getting first turn.

>>53903788
Don't put Plasma on Rangers, it doesn't synergize very well with them. You're better off taking them on Vanguards. And if you really want to keep a pistol + melee weapon on the Alphas you're even more better off with Vanguards since they have a -1 Toughness aura which makes them more likely to wound in close combat.

>>
>>53903837
Infiltrators are pretty decent since they can possibly get a turn 1 charge and can shred lightly armored units, and even damage more heavily armored ones through sheer volume of wounds with taser goads. Electropriests got buffed quite a bit but Infiltrators are reasonably decent, enough that they are fine as long as your local meta isn't super WAAC. Haven't tried Rustalkers but they seem like the can put out enough mortal wounds to do some decent damage.

Adding a Primaris detachment to an IG army focused on scions. Is it a good idea to put an intercessor+ hellblaster squad on the backline to hold the fort while the rest of my army does its deepstriking/taurox shenanigans, or is that retarded?
>>
>>53903837
>I hear

Errr, read their rule and judge for yourself? Why did you even bring Rustalker? their weapon are AP0, what are you planning to kill? Even hitting Guardman and Ork boyz feel like a challenge for them.

The Rustalker "mortal wound" rule are litterally the worst possible mortal wound rule for weapon. other weapon are "in addition to", they get "instead of". What? did the additional AP0 attack too OP or something?

Electro priest literraly get good rules shove up their ass to boost sale (or maybe if they didn't make them look like gay stormcast the model would sale)

Just finished Space Wolves damage and cost calculations. Lots of stuff that's really great once it can close to melee.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h0hk_IdJ7fivDEjMiIpKM5yMMB8HTm64lZHuKdLZCIU/edit?usp=sharing

Next up on my to-do was someone asking for "all the types of Eldar," so I'm not sure what exactly I'll be tackling next. Space Wolves was pretty taxing due to size, so I may do a smaller subset of Eldar (DEldar?) and then another faction, and come back to the rest of Eldar later.
>>
Just how effective has everyone found command points to be? I've managed to split my guard force into 4 detachments of Battalion, 2xVanguard and a Spearhead for the 6CP. I'd run a Brigade but I don't own any fast attack choices.

It still comes out at 100PL/1827pts so I feel like ive got a good fighting force.
>>
>>53904035
Forgot to ask if I should bother buying some hellhounds/sentinels for the 9CP detachment or just stick with what I'm running.

so, here's something i can't find an answer to -

when a unit entry says "Point cost doesn't includ wargear"

does this mean you can skip on cost by not including some wargear? seems like it'd be stupid if they didn't include the full price but make it mandatory for all weapons
>>
>>53904035
They're hugely important. That said, don't forget that you're limited to 3 detachments at 2000 points in matched play.

If your troops choices in your army are good you want to spam Battalions, and IG is really the only army that can make a Brigade that's actually good.

>>
>>53904080
any suggestions for admech?

played my first 8th match yesterday and was nearly wiped turn 2 at 1k points. it was fucking awful
>>
>>53904066
Incorrect. You still have to take all the wargear that's listed in the datasheet, it's just not included in the base cost. This is obviously a pain in the ass for list building without using a program or spreadsheet, but with one it's not a big deal at all.
>>
>>53904083
Why is the conscript objectively better in every way, for the same points?
>>
>>53904095
Hard to give suggestions without seeing your current list.
>>
>>53904095
AdMech is one of the armies I haven't really figured out yet. It seems like they need transports more than ever, and until Fires of Cyraxus comes out we don't know if they're even getting them.
>>
>>53904101
Codices arent balanced against each other and are only balanced internally?
>>
>>53904084
>>53904092
Aright, that gets them up to an average of 20 hits from a mob of 30. That's how many hits 30 conscripts manage WITHOUT first rank fire second rank fire.
>>
>>53904080
Shit is that in the BRB? I must have missed that. I could run two battalions actually now that I think of it if I ran some elites as troop equivalents. Then grab the Spearhead for the third detachment and 7CP. I should start saving for 3 sentinels run individually.

Have you had any real clincher moments where CP made a huge difference?
>>
>>53904080
The three detachment limit is a suggested additional restriction for organized play, not a default rule. He's fine at four detachments at 1800ish in matched play.
>>
>>53904066

>does this mean you can skip on cost by not including some wargear?

No, you need to at least pay for the default wargear. Otherwise you'll see people run 1 arm dread.

>>53904132
There are a couple more weapon with that rule, but the thing is their "normal profile" already fucking good with D3 damage and +2/-2. Adding the mortal wound rule is just a plus. And they're FREE. the piece of shit transonic weapon are not free.
>>
>>53904124
It's what the ITC is going to adopt as the standard and nearly all events are going to use it. I'd get used to it unless all you play are casual games.
>>53904121
It's pretty big for keeping units alive with morale re-rolls near the end of the game or interrupting combat to swing first. Even just the simple single dice re-roll per phase can be amazing in all kinds of circumstances.

Add the commissar cost on your conscripts' on top of the command squad then.
It's almost like the cost of a unit also depends on what support they can expect to get, in terms of buff and other roles: shooting, meleeing, screening...
>>
>>53904260

No question, but a supported Conscript unit is going to put out more dakka, AND be more survivable than an equivalent amount of supported Grots. Whether or not that's imbalanced is another matter.

>>53902653
The problem with this is that it's way too noblebright Imho. Either that or they make Rawbutt a "failure" as statesman so the empire can continue running at half speed as it has been. At the moment the way they've set current events they have clearly put Guilliman above and beyond the challenges so they would have to royally fuck the empire for realz with a new really overwhelming threat as a new chaos champion (because abbaddon has had one run too many) / Super agressive Tau / Dark Eldar need new toys for their new home / Fuckhueg hive fleet / Kangz in speesh or a combination of both.

As long as they keep pulling the shit that the empire of man can match the threats by manpower alone, it is unrealistic to feel like it's threatened with a competent leader as Guilli on the wheel and their bros kicking ass (because let's be honest the whole setting is a marine powerwank).

I am more inclined to think of a revolt of sorts because of Guilliman's forced pace of renewal through the empire with all the butthurt people against Cawl, the newmarines being too young not to fall to chaos and others feeling left aside because they are not chads anymore (Calgar). All this is hinted at Dark Imperium and they have said that wanted to focus on Man vs Chaos anyway because the people in charge must be the type of retards that prefer Harry potter over A song of of ice and fire.

Is it me or did Forge World include rules for one of the HH Book 8 models in the Forge World Index?

In it there is a Relic Sicarian Punisher. This does not have a model. Yet if you checked the leaks...

This appears to be the model (there was also another tank destroyer variant which honestly looks like somebody slapped a Tau weapon on the Sicarian chassis and called it a day).

Is this a mistake by FW?

Furthermore, every Chief Librarian in the FW Index 1 has

Cast Powers: 2
Dispel Powers: 3
Known Powers: 2+Smite

Yet in the GW Index it's

Cast Powers: 2 (unless you're Voldanus of the Grey Knights, which is 3)
Dispel Powers: 2 (I think Voldanus or whatever can do 3)
Known Powers: 3+Smite

Has FW mixed up the numbers? I don't think Inquisitor Lord Rex is better at dispelling pysker powers than Mephiston, Tigirius, Ezekyle or Njar or whatever.

Kastelans have a minimum of two in a unit, and you need to bring a datasmith to get their full value. You can load them up with heavy phosphor blasters and they can fire off 36 shots a turn between the two models.

You can just use the <Mars> forge world for the buffs from Cawl until the full codex comes out and hopefully gives us a reason to actually use other forge worlds.

A couple of quick questions about listbuilding for matched play:

Do you have to use Detachments? Or can you just use whatever?
