As-is people complain about Marines being affected at all. You can snipe commissars, you can focus synapse creatures, you can either try to kill the ork mob emboldening the rest, or try to separate other units from it.

While there are factions that can essentially ignore morale, they don't do so in a manner that offers no counterplay.

>>53937215
I can't think of any nid units that are blatantly undercosted except for special characters and maybe genestealers (but not by very much). Some of their stuff is in fact still overcosted.

The thing that makes them powerful is that players deploy badly against them and get rekt on turn 1. They're used to playing gunlines in 7th that didn't have to worry about a bunch of shit which is now completely different in 8th.

If anything I'm annoyed at HOW corrupt they are in a sense of being too busy and not consistent. Yeah yeah I get that it's chaos, but you look at Age of Sigmar's chaos guys and all their shit despite being evil looking chaos forged hell armor, it's all still clean and consistent armor trims and engravings rather than random spikes and horns jutting out of armor and being generally unpleasing to look at. You have factions like the Iron Warriors who are chaos, but openly hate the chaos gods and cut off any mutations and replace them with bionics. If anything they should look like body horror rotting corpse fiends with tubes everywhere with the occasional chaos star on their armor, yet because the armor designs are inconsistent as fuck, we have wierd as horned helmets and random spikes that don't make sense for a faction like them.
>>
>>53937249
Because the chaos marine scuplts are old as dog shit.
Everyone thought the chosen from dark vengeance were the tits- so naturally, old retarded Kirby GW did nothing with them.

That's all I fucking want for an Iron Warriors army, and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to do that. I could sculpt some cog pattern trim on them to help associate their effecient, tech focused iron men aesthetic, but then they look out of place when put next to the rest of the chaos line. Then you look at how things like the warsmith has the cog trim on his legs, but then goes to the angular triangle trim on his pauldrons and it annoys the fuck out of me because it's two different trims on the same model and not consistent. I want a simple and effective "Gets the job done" look for em but can't figure out how to do that without making em look like Space Marines, and also at the same time show that they are chaos.

Drone uprising! Maybe some converted heavy drones with modules and weapons as commanders, and a custom firesight marksman warlord on a flamethrower jetpack leading swarms of drones.

Fusion commanders melt 4 priority targets, CIB commanders whittle down secondary targets, drones cover the field and objectives while blazing S5 fire, detachable/marker drones bubblewrap the flamer warlord to boost BS.

Mk III armor is usually incorporated with a lot of Iron Warriors stuff I've seen, you could probably do a lot with it because it has a lot of things like rivets and layered plates. Another thing you could do to add some simple Chaos aesthetic is adding horns to the helmets. Worse comes to worse you can start pooring out your wallet and buy conversion kits from ForgeWorld.

yeah, it's not nearly as common. off the top of my head: longstrike to nearby hammerheads and 5 markerlights (which you probably won't bother with often since everything between 1-5 isn't worth it and 1 is good enough).

-1 to hit isn't as uncommon though. venomtropes making you overheat on a 2, or ghostkeels making you overheat on a 3... stuff like that is really nasty, especially since it's applied after rerolls

Sammael on Corvex I think? 183 points. Maybe some other plasma wielding character. Leman Russ gets a special rule that "reduces" it to six mortal wounds and Dreadnoughts and some other big stuff use a different profile that only deals one mortal wound.

Basically because the idea of Chaos Marines (I guess "Heretic Astartes" now) covers three different things:

I'm sorry for hating on you Anon; I'll stop now.

Look into detachments. You need to fit your army into one of those; my LGS plays at 50PP; so I use a batallion detachment for my Space Wolves.

You want between 2 - 3 HQ, between 3 - 6 troops and whatever else you can take until it adds up to 50 PP.

I always just make them wear the occasional metal Chaos star, or leave armor a tad dirtier. The types of bayonets, bolt pistols, and chainswords make a big difference too

That will fit in a Spearhead detachment and a Patrol detachment. You only need the patrol because you have an extra HQ everything else fits in the Spearhead. So you just take one HQ and one Troop to be the Patrol detachment.

If you had one more troop you could fit the whole army in a Battalion detachment and get two extra command points. Or a Battalion and a Spearhead and get 3 extra.

The Astartes moved up. Lumbering towards the Guardsmen with bloodlust in their hearts. The deadly accurate fire of bolt rifles killing a few Guardsmen at long range but it was their reinforcements that would do the most damage.

Tournaments are the only way to get any action. And even then you have to go and find out where they're holding the damn things, which means Googling every single gaming store in your town (and maybe even calling them on the phone), and then calling all the gaming stores in nearby cities within a comfortable driving distance for you.

If you want to take a Thousand Son's Army (that is an Army with the Faction Thousand Sons), you can only take units in the list. However, there is no reason to do this right now. There are no rules benefits from taking a Thousand Son's Army. Instead, you can take a Chaos Army or Heretic Astartes army (one where the shared keyword is Chaos or Heretic Astartes), and just take Thousand Son's Units.

Later, when the Thousand Sons get a proper supplement, there may be special rules that only apply if Thousand Sons is your Army keyword.

Contrast this to the Ynnari army rules, which specifically only apply if Ynnari is your army faction keyword.

You can't take Haemonculus covens units in such an army, because they don't have the Ynnari keyword. Since they don't have the ynnari keyword, Ynnari can't be your Army faction keyword. Instead, Aeldari is. If Ynnari isn't your army keyword, then things like Drukhari Kabalite Warriors can't benefit from the special rules.

Does that help?

In revenge a mass of Las fire tore into the new arrivals. Precise fire hitting the gaps in the armor and bring them down. Plasma cannon fire took out the remaining Hellblasters vaporizing the Marines with ease. The Renegades were not defeated however.

Fine. If you ABSOLUTELY MUST. But I'd rather you just spit out who won and why. And maybe some interesting shit that happened. But talking us through one set of dudes approaching the other is not an attention-getter. I don't give a fuck how much of a time-honored tradition Battle Reports supposedly are, nor how many White Dwarf magazines they've been in.

Watched one of the FLG vids for a couple days ago, they heavily implied a balance patch of some sort is coming soon. The exact context was "I know the cheesy build for IG right now is maxing out command squads but I would say wait a bit before going out and buying tons of those, just some friendly advice that we can't say more about".

So anyone concerned about cheese spam builds, this is as close to confirmation as we're going to get that GW is working on the hotfixes already. I think there's definitely a possibility we could see this extended to conscripts, among other things.

Trygons are surprisingly fragile. Toughness 6 and only 12 Wounds dies very quickly to stuff like melta-plasma. The key to beating Trygons is to not leave the things you have that counter them out somewhere they can get charged. It's very easy to create buffer zones with screening units that prevent them from tunneling in within 12" of your heavy weapons. Absorb the charge, fall back turn 2 and gun them down. Even if they survive with a couple Wounds their damage output drops dramatically when they're crippled.

Welp, I guess you'll both just have to accept that neither of you have any power of whether another anon decides to contribute or not, so the ones that enjoy it can continue to enjoy it and the ones that don't can waste their time bitching and moaning or they can accept that not every post in the general threads is going to be exactly to their liking and they can change the subject or talk about something else.

Maybe we can all start acting like adults in here and instead of freaking out when someone posts something we don't like and giving it (You)'s we can ignore it and post competing content that wins on its own merit by virtue of being more interesting.

Here's an example so you faggots don't bitch that I'm being a hypocrite:

>>53938740
3CP seems like a bit much for the -basically a knight detachment- detachment of lord of wars. It's kinda weird that the specialist LOW detachment gets more bonus CP than any of the others.

I'd like to see some of the blast weapons scale more properly with unit size. I really like how the leviathan dreadnought's grav flux bombard adds d3 shots for every 5 models in a squad. I think it's currently just 1D6 for a basilisk right now? And it still has to roll to hit after that? A bit weak IMO.

The vanquisher cannon is just sad. Would really like to see it do 2D6 damage or have any justifiable purpose to encourage using it over a battle cannon.

>clearing side jams

It's not aligned with the barrel at all, and sits significantly above it; spent casing is ejected from the side of the weapon, there's even what looks like a bolt mechanism there, presumably for when you want to manually load a round by turning your weapon around 180.

Bolter rounds use casings; the initial velocity of the round is guaranteed at a kill-speed from the barrel, which overcomes the inherent weakness of rocket rounds that need time to accelerate and have characteristically weaker stopping power at short range (the only real world examples are said to be so pisspoor that you can stop the rounds leaving the barrel by simply putting your finger over it). This would also overcome two other problems; one, the problem of accuracy (rocket rounds tend to drift even from a rifled barrel, because they don't pick up speed until they're 20 feet ahead of you), and two, the problem of noise. While no weapon is silent in operation, bolter rounds would only need a small initial charge to ensure lethality at the end of the barrel and, let's say, 20 feet ahead of it. After that, the rocket's own propellant is sufficient to drive it forward, and to continue driving it forward even as it makes contact with enemy armor; since bolt rounds are mass-reactive, this constant application of force even as resistance is met means a higher chance of penetration and detonation of the core.

If anything, the boltgun concept is probably over-engineered as it stands: but it's supposed to be accurate and usable against a variety of targets in any conditions, including underwater and in vacuum (in both conditions bolter rounds might have significant advantages over conventional munitions - underwater especially, given sufficient propellant). Existing mass-reactive rounds tend to be so good at penetrating flesh that they explode beyond a standard body-depth; but assuming even techno-barbarians can make body armor, that may not be a huge problem.

Ploughs across the ground figuratively, like a tank does. It's not digging a huge channel behind it or anything, it drives across the surface of the ground or very close to it, the skid plates are for when it hits little shit like rocks and I assume more armor for mines or whatever.

You are absolutely correct.

But remember: This is 40k. Just take a look at the way the most popular Astra Militarum tanks in the galaxy are "engineered", and some of the armor designs of the various races, and that tells you all you need to know about how things work.

In other words: Don't think too hard about it.

That said, I really wish GW wouldn't try to sound all smart and high-tech and just stick to "because we say it works" and design shit purely on how cool it looks, instead of worrying about how it might actually work IRL.

So, ran into a situation with a list someone was making. Wanting to check their math, I put the list into Battlescribe. List is as follows:
HQ:
Typhus
Bile

Troops:
Poxwalkers x20
Poxwalkers x20
Poxwalkers x20

Elites:
Noise Marines x5 (x1 Blastmaster, x4 Sonic Blaster)
Noise Marines x5 (x1 Blastmaster, x4 Sonic Blaster)
Plague Marines x5 (Champon: Plague Sword, Plasma Gun, Power Fist. x2 Blightlauncher)
Plague Marines x5 (Champon: Plague Sword, Plasma Gun, Power Fist. x2 Blightlauncher)

Fast Attack:
Foetid Plague Drone
Foetid Plague Drone

Heavy Support:
Predator (Twin Lascanon, 2 Lascanons)

Now, Battlescribe had an issue with this because it wouldn't allow Typhus or the Foetid Bloat Drones outside of a Death Guard Detachment.

Went to the web-based list builder and it worked fine, but that one doesn't really stop you from doing dumb shit.

Reading on it, as long as they have one same Faction Keyword, they can be in the same detachment. They're both Heretic Astartes.

Now, Obviously, what he CAN'T do is call the whole thing a Death Guard detachment for purposes of making the Plague Marines Troops, because of Bile and the Noise Marines, but is there anything actually stopping this from working as a Heretic Astartes detachment?

>>53939442
Almost every army has some gimmick to almost guarantee turn 1 charges now.

As Chaos Marines you can deep strike Warp Talons just over 9'' away from the enemy then move them 12'' in your psychic phase thanks to Warp Time, and thanks to the Warp Talons' special rule nothing is allowed to fire Overwatch at them on the turn they deep strike.
>>
>>53939473

The cool thing about firing from a gunship into the ground is that even if you miss bit a little bit, your explosive payload is gonna hit something right next to the enemy.

None of our shit was AV14 on all sides. While we could often play in a way that left only front facings towards enemy fire, the simplified rules account for our directional vulnerability with 1 less to our save.

I think you gravely understood why the T-34 was the best tank of the war. It was for precisely all the same reasons the Sherman was so used extensively: It was a decent tank that could be cranked out by the shitloads in Russia's factories. The T-34 was no supertank, it was just a simple and solid design with no frills that won battles because of quantity. Just like the Sherman.

>>53939731
And Baneblades always should have been AV14 all around considering how stupidly fuckin' expensive they were. All of the space marine shit in the FW index gets a 2+. Even some of the dreads get a 2+.

But our now-even-more-blatantly-overcosted superheavy? Nah, fuck Guard, am I right? All variants but the Hellhammer and Shadowsword are once again useless, being simply weaker copy-pastes of the basic chassis. And the Stormlord, the one unique flavor, got nerfed to fuck because it was almost decent.
>>
>>53939829
Precisely.

It was the Germans who actually had the superior tank designs in terms of quality and battlefield performance. But... they kind of lost. Sandwiched between a wall of American Shermans from the west and Russian T-34s from the east. Having the best equipment in the world doesn't matter if you don't have enough of it, or can't even get it into the fight for whatever reason.
>>
>>53939825
Not only that, they get a rerollable 5++ save if they hang with Celestine, and I think that's barely better than a normal 4+. Like 4% better.
>>
>>53939286
b/c they're cool?

So according to the mathhammer sheet, Eldar is fucked? They output less wounds than pretty much everyone else.
>>
>>53939639
The Sherman was miles ahead of the T-34 and the Soviet tank battallions who recieved them preferred them over the T-34.

>>53939882

>>
>>53939070
I like it better with the turret but without the pintle.
>>
>>53939865
German tanks and thinking were advanced, but they lacked the technology to really realize their designs. Tigers and later were some of the least reliable vehicles in the war, they spent as much time broken down or out of fuel as they did fighting.
>>
>>53939880
They are, I just wish the rules reflected that.

Right now, they descend from the heavens, take a breath to straighten their hair, and then run into fire their guns.
>>
>>53939865
I mean, if we want to wank about this in terms of 40K... if you put enough guardsman with flashlights on it, it'll fuckin die eventually.

Man I'm still laughing about my buddy playing a 1000pt game and the enemy player thought he would cheese with his 2 knights in such low points.

My buddy managed to get a 2 Barebones Battlewagons in and unloaded da boyz after charging the Battlewagons to soak overwatch. Lemme tell you that was some shit, 180 fucking attacks annihilated that knight.

>>53939900
>Tigers and later were some of the least reliable vehicles in the war, they spent as much time broken down or out of fuel as they did fighting.

Precisely. Which is why I said:
>Having the best equipment in the world doesn't matter if you don't have enough of it, or can't even get it into the fight for whatever reason.

This is the fundmental thing kids need to understand about the T-34: It wasn't a supertank that was faster, supremely armored, or armed with any kind of mega-cannon that could kill anything. It was a LOGISTICALLY sound design that could make it all the way into Germany without breaking down and win the battle because there were two or three of them versus every 1 tank the Germans could bring.
>>
>>53939882
The cost-calculations aren't done yet, and what matters is for output is the ratio of cost to wounds. Wounds are also only one facet of an army; it doesn't take into account things like range, mobility, flexibility, aura-stacking, or so forth.

We played 50pl, which is what we've been doing at our shop to get acclimated. My list was pic related. He ran no vehicles except a dread, which surprised me. He had scouts, captain, lib, apothecary, some kind of dread and 2 plasma tac squads I think. We played Maelstrom and rolled contact lost, I placed the last objective and picked frontline assault. I also went first because i finished first and he didn't seize.

Turn one, I moved my kabalite raider to secure my objective, flew my void raven over the scouts and nuked them pretty good, moved the wyches to cover another objective and the trueborn with Reavers to another. I shot the blasters and dizzy into the dread before finishing it off with the scythes. I failed to take out any scouts with poison, and I think my missiles killed one or two Marines in cover. My kabalites didn't do much, but their raider did blast a Marine.

His turn, he got a VP for smiting my raven, who barely managed to stay at full power. Likewise, my kabalite raider took a beating but was otherwise mostly fine.

My turn, I get the new tac objective where if my HQ gets it, it's +3VP. Unfortunately for my opponent, it was right in her path. So, she hopped out and advanced to meet her objective. My Raven circled around, Reavers said hello to the scouts, and true born had a nice view of his characters. My kabalites went to play with the other squad.

I made a mistake and acted my Venom in a way that his other squad was actually closer, so I had to chew though then with the raven first, then I got hit his captain, who made all his 4++ saves. The raider and Reavers charged forward into assault. The raider stabbed a guy with with its shock prow, and the Reavers obliterated the scouts.

They want to talk about meme glorious perfect tigers and best tank of the century t34. They don't want to hear about over designed easily broken tigers with sub standard steel or how the t34 was a rolling coffin with shockingly bad quality of manufacture and almost no technological advances besides it's basic shape.

Nevermind the fact that tanks aren't even supposed to fight other tanks in the first place since that negates their only major battlefield advantage (immunity to small arms fire and safe firing high calibre explosive rounds for clearing fortifications).

Unfortunately, he realized he wasn't on any objectives, so he didn't generate any. He dumped his command points into generating one to try and stay in the game. My Venoms was toast, and my true born were all but killed. My Raider was wounded in the fighting.

My turn, I generated a lone objective, which was a repeat for my kabalites, who disembarked before their wounded raider flew to reclaim it. The Brides hopped out and were ready for combat to be joined by the Reavers as the raven continued it's course.

Long story short, S4 brides rerolling 1s is not pretty when coupled with a Reaver charge and the game was called because he didn't really have much left after that.

Things I learned:

Voidravens are as solid as they look.
Splinter weapons are kinda shitty

On paper the T-34 was a great design for the year it was built, but Soviet manufacturing didn't have the highest standards.

With the Sherman, afaik, the first design (the M4A1 I believe) was definitely not up to par with the other tanks of the war, but it was a reliable design and easier to field repair compared to the German and Russian tanks, which had a lot of technical problems out in the field.

Towards the end of the war though, when the Easy Eight and the Firefly started getting fielded, the Shermans became some of the best tanks of the war.

Not supposed to, but that's sure as hell what ended up happening. Often enough that doctrine changed for tanks to be designed around engaging other tanks.

You should already know how well that doctrine worked out.

Oh we measured out the distances for close combat. He even drove around it so get it from both sides. BUT YES sure it wasn't the full brunt of 180 because all the little fuckers couldn't fit. He stopped rolling after the opponent realized it was going to die.

I went for the scouts because they were the easiest target and I killed 4 or 5 with it. All in all, it's nice to have. The Shatterfield missiles are definitely awesome, though because d6 S7 -1 shots with shred is killer. The scythes are decent. The short range can be a problem, but 2d3 blaster shots isn't terrible. Arguably mire consistent than the Lances, but I haven't tried them yet.

>Not supposed to, but that's sure as hell what ended up happening. Often enough that doctrine changed for tanks to be designed around engaging other tanks.

Not really, tank on tank engagements were a vanishingly small percentage of actual combats. They're just cool so you see that shit everywhere in media. American doctrine was to use air support or dedicated anti tank platforms like the hellcat.

Late war Sherman designs wouldn't put a scratch on a tiger and that didn't matter, they were up armored and given turret stabilizers so they could perform their line breaking job better and because panzerfausts were commonplace.

>American doctrine was to use air support or dedicated anti tank platforms like the hellcat.

Was. After the war, many papers were published by American officers about why this was a bad doctrine. And this is why modern tank designs are specifically designed to combat other tanks.

>Late war Sherman designs wouldn't put a scratch on a tiger and that didn't matter,

You are mistaken, friend-o.

wtf? so apparently because weapons with d hits (like heavy d6) can only hit a single model once since it is replacing templates, and tenplates could only hit once? This cant be right, can it?

aka a Defiler is charged by a c'tan shard and overwatches with a 2d6 flamer. Does it actually get up to 12 hits or only 1? Am I playing with cheaters?

I had to go back and notice that little yellow dot after you mentioned it.

Although if I actually painted that exact design on a Leman Russ tank and took it to a tournament, I'd probably get kicked out because poking on a little yellow dot on at the last minute to get my 3-color minimum probably wouldn't qualify. Heh... irony.

It can hit a single model as many times as it has "shots". There's literally no rule stating it can only hit a independent model once.

If they ever ran into Tigers or Panthers, sure. But Tigers and Panthers weren't the only things the Germans had. In fact, the most "popular" German (in terms of quantity they manufactured) tank of the war was the Panzer IV - which was A LOT less armored than the more famous Tigers and Panthers were, and could be penetrated by Shermans and T-34s.

>>53940021
Another advantage the Sherman had over other tanks was the comparatively thick gun mantlet, the very comfortable crew space, the vertical stabilizer, the large turret ring allowing for upgrades to be made constantly and to carry a larger caliber in the same tank chassis and turret, and in later models the improved HVSS suspension systems and the Wet Stowage, meaning that penetrating hits were far less likely to start ammo cook offs.

>>53940105
>late war shermans couldn't scratch Tigers
Actually, the 76mm on the M4A2 and other models could penetrate Tigers, and especially the side armor of them and Panthers, which were hilariously weak and had ammunition racks, meaning a hit to the side of a German tank was a guaranteed kill.

>Nurgle is the Great Lord of Decay and the Master of Plague and Pestilence. All things, no matter how solid and permanent they seem, are liable to eventual corruption, and Grandfather Nurgle sows the seeds of that entropy with carefully brewed infections and epidemics. Yet despite this grim work he is not a morose or dolorous god. Life begets death, and in turn death gives birth to new life, in the form of pallid, wriggling things that crawl free from mouldering corpses. Thus, the Plague God sees himself as a benevolent fellow, and goes about his business with laughter and honest joy. He sees mortal souls not as things to be dominated and destroyed, but naïve children to be plied with flesh-rotting gifts, and thus enlightened as to the true wonder of disease and decay.

>There was precious little malice in the workings of Nurgle. Cruelty, yes, as life was cruel. Rapaciousness, even. But the horror of Nurgle was one of cosmic consideration. Khorne cared not from whence the blood flowed, but Nurgle cared for every life, no matter how tiny. Nurgle noticed every life. Every soul that crossed the threshold of the Lord of All Things received a splinter of his attention, and suffered for it.

-8th ED Nurgle lore

So Nurgle has no hatred in his big heart for mortals. He legitimately cares for all living things . So why do people consider him evil again?

You can take non-Ynnari units in an Ynnari army. They just won't get Ynnari special rules. They'll practically be allies with the Aeldari keyword.

Panzer IVs were classified as "Medium TANKs" - hence why I called them the most popular (in terms of number manufactured) TANK of WW2.

There were indeed more Stug IIIs manufactured than Panzer IVs, but they were classified as "assault guns" or you could even call it a "self propelled gun".

In spite of how 40k labels things, not everything with treads is considered a "tank".

Incorrect on every count.

1. Requirements for Matched Play armies:
>All of the units in a matched play army, with the exception of those that are UNALIGNED , must have at least one Faction keyword in common (e.g. IMPERIUM or CHAOS ), even though they may be in different Detachments.
Pg 214.

This keyword, which is common to all units, is your Army's faction, as shown on the Army Roster sheets.

2. Ynnari rules:
>With the exception of <HAEMONCULUSCOVEN> units, Urien Rakarth, Drazhar, Mandrakes and the Avatar of Khaine, any AELDARIunit can be part of an Ynnari army.

Go back up to army faction. A Ynnari army is one where every single unit in the army shares the Ynnari keyword, except for unaligned.

>Any unit that does so gains the YNNARI keyword.these cannot use any of the following abilities, and are not considered to have them: Ancient Doom, Battle Focus, Rising Crescendo, Power from Pain. Instead, INFANTRYand BIKER units included in an Ynnari army gain the Strength from Death ability, as described below.

The rule only functions if your army has the Ynnari faction. If you stick Haemonculus covens units in your army, your Army loses the Ynnari faction (since Haemonculus covens units can't gain the Ynnari keyword). If the army isn't ynnari, then none of your units will benefit from Strength from Death except for the 3 units in the game that naturally have it, the Yvarne, the Yncrane, and the Avatar.

So what you can do is you can stick those 3 units in an Aeldari army, but you won't be able to do any of the cool Ynnari things like soulbursting incubi (or arguably, soulbursting Wraithknights).

One thing I did miss that I wish I didn't though, Seraphim near Celestine have a rerollable 5++, which is 10% better than a 4++ I believe. Can charge flyers too, I guess.

But the gist of it is that both are good and have their place. Just don't ever deep strike seraphim 9" from an enemy, do it out of their sight/behind cover to prepare for your 24" move next turn if the terrain and situation allows it.

The T-34 was a fantastic tank for what it did. But the parts from a tank made in one factory were rarely compatible with a tank made in another. The quality of Soviet steel also varied. There are so many issues with it. Heck upwards of 80% of them were lost.

Okay, but wouldn't it be better to just take another unit that does things?

An act of faith is 1 of: extra movement, extra models, extra shooting, extra fighting.

An imagifier gets you that about half the time, and two imagifiers get you on average a whole extra act of faith a turn. For 80 points.

But you could spend 80 points and get a whole other battle sisters squad to do all the things an act of faith can do, every turn!

Since you're cramming stuff in you might try putting Storm Bolters on the dominions. If you get to half range they're putting out almost as much damage on average as flamers with better consistency. And they are cheap.

I would suggest buying one germinae superior, Celestine can revive it every turn as long as she's not dead so that's just more unkillable models to pour salt on the wound with.

Also thanks, I missed that they were added. Emperor bless.

True but I can't put that squad into a rhino and run it up field.

Being able to act out of turn sequence is a huge advantage as well. It's a very strong force multiplier that helps you control the direction and flow of battle. Much like Eldar psychic powers. (Fortune, doom, guide)

I see sisters as needing a way to surprise the enemy with a sudden burst of violence at the right time to ruin their day, so to me it's worth the points.

I had the same thought though, and I think in lower points games you're definitely right. But at 2k it's akin to low power psykers so it's worth.

gave one hellion +2 move since I deep striked them on a VP away from combat
gave another +1 attacks
succubus got +1 strength
reavers got +1 toughness.

the only mistake I made with the hellions was giving the helliarch a stunclaw, which ended up WORTHLESS against terminators. the reavers themselves cleaned up with their hellion glaives tearing through with 2 damage a piece.

I'd argue they have as much place in a list now as reavers, if not more. the grav-talons are great, but possibly because of 7E, my opp just focused on them and tore through them like tissue paper, letting my hellions wreak havoc.

>An imagifier gets you that about half the time, and two imagifiers get you on average a whole extra act of faith a turn. For 80 points.

Never forget command re-rolls. They make them much more efficient, usually.

But yes imagifiers really have to be used a certain way to be worth it. IMO, with 15 bolter squad or HB/multi-melta retributors.

There's also the problem with attaching them to a squad in transports is since AoFs only happen at the start of the turn, you can't use them the turn a squad gets out and unleashes everything they got before being open to retaliation.

Yeah, my bad, I was thinking tiger 2s. Sherman's basically never even saw tigers in the entirety of the war either way.

And you're right that the tank destroyer idea didn't pan out but the combined arms tactics worked beautifully and the Sherman's had a very low kill rate while basically everything the Germans had ended up dead. For being a bad tank it sure did well in every capacity that actually mattered.

It was the only important tank in the war designed well. It was easy to escape from, was very reliable, had great operational range, was easy to transport and the only tanks it lost too it ran into fewer time than I have fingers and toes.

Perfectly fair argument. I'm going to see how it goes and if I can't make good use of them I'll drop them for something else.

I'm probably going to run them with my heavy flamer retributors which I will deploy near enemies in a bunch with my 10girl sisters unit, and my repentia.

You don't get it dude. An army faction is a defined term. It's the keyword common to all units in said army. An army isn't Ynnari if you have Haemonculus covens in any detachment.

also the strat is to place The cryptekhs in the ark because transports only have model count now and have them bust out once grand illusion goes off parking the scythe or the monolith just were they don't want it and vomiting 20 warriors (or 40 if you're lucky) with full support in their back lines.

If I had some flyed ones I'd use those too because they can reposition, come out of the gates and still assault because they weren't in play at the time of Grand Illusions ability. That's 12" away - 3" for redeployment - movement 5" and that's only a 4" charge for a full unit of with 80 attacks rerolling wounds (possibly with lord support for +1" charge and +1 WS if you want it).
