T7 makes him resistant against the massive spam of bolters and assault cannons, 4++ with the re-roll 1s is very good against the missiles, melta, and lascannons, but they're still shooting a LOT of dakka so you better hope you can somehow keep him safe for at least a turn so he doesn't get alpha'd before he gets a chance to take one down and put a dent in their firepower.

plus, a mostly Stormraven army will probably have 3+1 cp since it'll be depending on the Flyer detachment.
>>
>>54104623
There is no generic Reserves anymore unless he has a specific special rule to do that, though.

>>54104632
That's a Twin Heavy Bolter. Multi-melta looks different. Helbrute is probably one of the only kits that comes with every option.
>>
>>54104613
DE are one of the top armies in the game at the moment. They're mobile, tough, and have very high heavy weapon density.
>>
>>54104647
Twin assault cannon, two multi-meltas, two hurricane bolters, two stormstrike missiles.

BS 3+ no penalty for moving and shooting heavy weapons, T7 W14 3+ save, hard to hit.
>>
>>54104647
Two hurricane bolters, twin assault cannon, twin multi melta, and two stormstrike missile launchers. Stormravens have 14 wounds and a 3+ save.

Hmm thanks.

I want to build two Hellbrutes. One with Twin Heavy Bolter, one with Twin Lascannon.

Also one with Power Scourge and one with Power fist with Flamer/bolter.

>>
>>54104683
>>54104685
Magnus can ignore most of those, i think. Real danger are multimelta, although his invu should help a ton there.

Seems like a coinflip - either they shoot Magnus down or he rips them to shreds. I guess that they could sit back and use other units as screen, but that seems to defeat the purpose of their strategy?
>>
>>54104527
80 conscripts is nothing

You need at least 200 to do anything with them
>>
>>54104471
Depends on the game.
Is it a friendly with a buddy? Tell him to stop being an asshole and to build a new list that isn't pure cheese.
Is it a casual game against a random at a store? Refuse to play them.
Tournament? Can't help you there, you entered the den of vipers willingly.

>Stormraven stuck to hitting on 5+ regardless
>can field more Corvus than Stormravens

Use your head.
>>
>>54104699
If I want to be honest with you, the scourge is the best option in general, though you could give your HBolter brute the scourge for anti infantry work by unloading 6 shots and going to town in melee, and the lascannon one the fist for max anti tank work.

The missiles are almost just as deadly. S8, 3 damage apiece, and the AP difference doesn't matter against the invuln anyways.

>>54104749
They're both hitting each other on 5+ but the Stormravens have way more guns.

If the Stormraven player brings 2 Interceptors like that list that topped a tournament the Corvus will get smoked.

You idiot always have to take it to the "next level"

The stormraven is good because they DON'T have to bring specific counters while also demanding EXTREMELY specific counters to be defeated.

Reminder that if you use 3rd party bases you're literally worse than Hitler and deserve to get banned for life from ever playing.

That's not a counter.

Spamming corvus is not a legitimate strategy against 99% of the armies of the game.

Stormraven is legitmate against everything except the one dude playing in tibet that is fielding ONLY corvus

>>54104613
They're brutal for shooting armies too.

Their entire army is -1 to hit 5++. 6+ FNP
They don't suffer penalties for moving and shooting because their guns become assault when placed on vehicles.
All their dudes can shoot out of the vehicles with no penalty
12" rr1s to hit is a bananas aura.

Their vehicles hit on 4+ instead of 6+ and do mortal wounds in melee
They have mortal wound on 6s boltguns (and you thought -3AP rending ones were decent.

This seems to be good against Stormravens.

Just 168 points with ICarus and Skyhammer.

bs 3+, +1 to hit fly, additional +1 to hit fly with the skyfire weapons (just not the assault cannons).
>>
can I use stratagems more than once to reroll to seize?
or does it fall under the rule a die can only be rerolled once.
>>
>>54104776
I actually thought that that they are S7 two damage. Lets see.

Twelve bolter shoots, eight hit, 2.33 wound, 0.88 get past saves. Four assault canon shoots, 2.66 hit, 1.33 wound, 0.5 get through, so one damage. Two missiles, 1.33 hit, 1 wounds, 0.5 saved for 1.5 damage. Same for multimelta, just 2.25 damage instead(i'm using 4.5 as average there). Around six damage for single bird.

I didn't count rerolls in. I'm also not certain on weapon profiles. Still, it will come down to invu rolls. If Magnus player rolls well on that, he will rip ravens to shreads. Otherwise he gets shoot down and his army lacks weapons to kill them.
>>
So how are the new point limits now-a-days? Like the old 500/1000/1500/1850/2000? Obviously less I presume...

Butthurt b8ing, but also, yes 3rd party bases will be banned.

5 with +1 attack, hydra gauntlets and an agonizer.

It was turn 3 so they were all hitting on 2s, causing shitloads of wounds.
>>
>>54104805

>tormravens have way more guns

At 260 pts or so
Basic anti-air Corvus is 165 pts, and the only thing you really want to add to that is two anti-air rocket launchers for 30 pts which would hit Stormravens on a 4+

You can bring 1 or 2 extra Corvus for every 5 Stormravens fielded, depending on loadout.

>>54104907

Try 12.

Assault Cannon is 6 shots, twin assault cannon is double that.

>>54104891

Cuz that's what happened to the tourney-winning stormraven with 2 interceptor list. Lost his first game because he brought the inty's to counter the counters to his ravens. Oh wait no, he won the whole fucking thing by tabling every opponent.

So twelve shoots, eight hits, 2.33 wounds and 1.17 damage.

So they are about as effective, all things considered.

So yeah, Magnus could work. I'm yet to see him in action, so i don't know if he's worth it. He's quite brutal on paper, but i don't know if that translates to actual game.

So I got into an argument with a friend over the consolidate rule

He was in close combat with my bikers, then he moved the 3 inches to the left after doing his attacks (not killing my unit) and put himself in base contact of sammael and my bikers

He said since he is still in base contact it's still closer to the enemy unit, and I kept saying it doesn't work that way, who is right?

I don't think you understand quite how much fucking dakka we are talking here.

They go first 7/10 games because they only have 5-6 drops and then they melt everything on the board that can hurt them in the alpha strike.

By turn 3 they've generally tabled the opposing army.

They have almost identical stats.
And Corvus has an option which literally blows up flyers with a 1+ hit modifier.
And Corvus also has a bombing mechanic which gives you a chance to roll for a mortal wound on a D6 if you fly over an enemy unit.

>Well it was hordes only a week ago.
The people saying hordes were top tier were not wrong, stormraven spam was first conceived as the counter to hordes, if (when) stormravens get nerfed it goes straight back to horde spam.

The counter to Stormraven spam is probably Smite spam from mobile characters with chaff to screen them, and T'au commander drops, both of which lose to hordes, so we've got a really strong Rock-Paper-Scissors meta developing here.

Are you completely fucking retarded or what? Two interceptors isn't "thousands of points" its the same cost as one Stormraven. And you run them IN THE STORMRAVEN list because they counter the counters to the ravens, as I already fucking explained three times, you dense motherfucker.

This list already won. It's proven, not theorycrafting. It crushed every non-Stormraven army at the tourney and will do better versus pure Stormraven that didn't bring inty's.

They have Fly so they just back up a couple inches in their turn and then unload their guns point-blank. The only way this helps is if your hordes are actually decently killy in melee.

Sanguinius has been said to be the most humane. Vulkan was the most caring of humanities values/families. Sanguinius cared about humanity because he believed in the righteousness of the unification and protection of them. It's literally a huge part of the BA fluff, that the BA love and care for humans and stupidly risk their lives to save them, but they're just as likely to kill them against their own will.

Rhinos are like 5x harder to kill than they were previously.

Also it has 40% more Wounds, -1 to hit is way bigger than you're giving credit for, and most games they will alpha strike you and kill all your anti-tank in the first salvo so you won't have much to shoot back next turn.

Dante literally risked his life to save a single Imperial Guardsman. He sacrificed 50 Space Marines to rescue a few thousand Imperial Guardsmen and he needed those 50 Space Marines for the upcoming fight at Baal. What Grimgar did wasn't 'smart', it was stupid.

bretty gud actually, as far as space marines playing a honest game and not flyer or lord of war spam go.

Frost weapons are a considerable improvement over regular power weapons for a minimal increase in cost, their psychic discipline is fantastic, wulfen give your other troops one of two very powerful buffs if you want to get into melee, their dreads have a lot of nifty options, Long Fangs got a new and powerful ability to make up for everyone else getting split fire, and you have a huge selection of HQs to navigate the hq taxes of the detachment system.

What you will miss are scouts, which are fantastic these days. And other SMs have some very strong options that SW don't quite replicate. But it would be very hard to argue SW are not at least up to par with the rest of the marine forces.

Not an argument. That's totally irrelevant. This is 40k. That's not how shit works. It's a Daemon Primarch. Shit doesn't just 'escape' cause it's far away.

450 for 3, so say six, plus Cawl, plus all the other nonsense.

3 Neutronagers with Cawl plus my two Arquebus Ranger squads with no buffs will exactly kill one stormraven on average even if Cawl doesn't join in. Rest of the army isn't quite kitted out for that, but I guess I can throw a bunch of plasma and phosphor fire in the air and hope, and rake them with Radium and such. Anything that hovers is going to be beaten to death by Fulgurites in short order, too, and PLEASE waste firepower on those. Also three Dragoons are running about scoring objectives while the Stormravens bob about blasting away at the regenerating 2+ 5++R1 tanks with the same T/W as them. That's going to make even the SR's level of firepower blink for at least a turn or two.

I admit I'm not really specialized for anti-tank, we pretty much only have Neutron Lasers and overcharged plasma.

>Attempt to corrupt

You fundamentally misunderstand Chaos, it doesn't have to actively try to corrupt anything, it does by sheer presence, reality cracks and buckles, minds shatter or are otherwise burdened by terrible, supernatural emotions that can break even the strong willed in the right environments, the whispers of unreality creep into the dreams of every man, woman and child, even if most are usually strong enough to resist them or block them out if they're properly indoctrinated. The Warp is corrupting by touch, and during a Daemonic incursion it seeps everywhere.

Or do you think only the jibbering madmen that follow Chaos are corrupted? Because the most common kind of corruption is a slow and insidious thing, a moral sickness of the mind that forever pulls at a victim's psyche if they don't have the strength of will to banish it.

>Retarded and wrong

Alright, let's just ignore all the parts about the Ordo Malleus training and wards to resist Daemonic corruption, or all the stories of Chaos incursions driving Psykers, then normal people mad or otherwise afflicting mental tests that they have to resist, or entire Guard Regiments and Astartes Chapters falling to Chaos because their chapter master decided to, or all the fluff about Chaos corrupting the worlds it conquers down to the very ground, or the whispers of Daemons plaguing the minds of those in Warp-transit and visiting nightmares on them, or the whole mantras about how a weak mind or weak faith sees even brave men fall in the face of the Daemonic, or all the Dark Heresy fluff.

If you think corruption has to be some overt thing that turns you into a raving madman for it to be corruption, you fundamentally misunderstand the reason why the Inquisition does what it does, exterminatus isn't just some retard's idea of culling a few Daemonic incursions.

>>54106201
Most of characters were monopose in metal. Only old sm commander was customizable.
>>
>>54105920
Maelstrom is a hacky fix for objective play, and as written leads to "all objectives are equal". One of the reasons Eldar did so well in 7e was because Scatpacks were killy for cost, but they could also rocket-cap objectives due to Obsec.

The game should ideally be "alternating activations" to mitigate alphastrike-hammer, make objectives "take and hold", and give weight to objectives (the further the objective from your DZ, the more pts its worth).

I'm told the SM commander and terminator lord kits weren't very profitable. A lot of bits and material for little gain (how many of them are people gonna buy compared to everything else) so instead GW went with a more showy character models with a more limited range of upgrade possibilities.
>>
>>54106238
>Le ADB meme

I'm not here to shill off Chaos for being a necessary victor, nor am I saying that it's completely unstoppable, but Chaos's primary advantage over the Imperium isn't its armies, who fall short of Imperials due to the latter's organisation, but the subtle corruption of the masses. If there's a Daemonic incursion and you don't purge the hives, cults will start popping up in the underhives, who eventually induct more people and inflict foul sorceries upon the darkened corridors under the mountains of metal, and the cycle begins again until the presence of Chaos is finally stomped out, a difficult feat to be sure, or until another uprising happens.

Anyone who thinks Chaos is just a bunch of spiky duded jacked up on Warp-steroids is missing the whole point, and further their misunderstanding of the canon portrays the Inquisition, Grey Knights and Ecclesiarchy as mentally retarded by default for their actions.

So I can get almost exactly 2 Neutronagers for that, which means the Raven does a third of their health since they're regenerating D3 per turn from Cawl, who's going to be there regardless of what I'm up against. Given that's when everything on the Stormraven is in Rapid Fire Range, Cawl also gets to add the Solar Atomiser in Melta Range to the return volley.

Dunecrawler One, now on Health Stage 2, does 3.33 wounds
Dunecrawler Two, on full, does 4.5 wounds for a total of 7.83 wounds
Cawl fires his Atomizer, does 3.11 wounds for a total of 10.94 wounds across the three.

So we have one damaged Dunecrawler and one almost crippled Stormraven, which as far as I can tell is a good trade. As Cawl can only shoot one Stormie per turn, you get a worse outcome as more Stormravens and Dunecrawlers come into play, but they still trade well enough to hold them off while the rest of a normal army does stuff, especially since the Stormravens can't really afford to split fire given a lot of their damage comes from the Hurricane Bolters and a damaged Crawler will be fixed by the attendant Priests, probably up to operational level again.

Other than 5th (too many vehicles for an AP 3 pieplate to matter), but yeah. Basilisks were *fun* in 7e due to Emperor's Wrath. Of course, nobody played Guard in tournaments because Renegades and Heretics did Guard better than Guard.

People ask "how does Forgeworld break 40k" about 7th and then you look at the Ordnance Tyrant Plague Zombie gunline, with discount Wyverns and Rapier batteries. "Can shoot into melee" literally broke a core rule of 40k.

One of this year's LVO lists used a Screamerstar to tarpit units before deleting them with artillery. :)

Running a "mix" of Marks, in as even a combination as possible.

In 7e, I had a Lord of Tzeentch, Sorcerer of Nurgle, Bikers of Slaanesh, and Hounds of Khorne teaming up to hunt down enemy characters, and seek the favor of the Chaos Boon table (I used the Chaos Warband, so I would roll twice for boons, optionally discarding one result).

It wasn't scatpack-competitive, though it did better than I thought it would. And damnit, it felt like I was playing a Chaos army!

Generally Deathwatch are better off with their bolters. Special issue ammo is pretty brutal, especially double tapping. Especially with bikes double tapping.

The Deathwatch specific heavy weapons are pretty strong. Stalker bolters are great, you can park the marines midfield and just plink away at anything. Take a whole squad with them.

Frag cannons are really brutal. For objective clearing and capping units they're really effective. The frag shots will shred the shit out of light infantry. I might put one or two in a kill team. Or if you want to risk some points you can just go balls deep and get a whole squad with frag cannons.

Little confused about Psychic Powers.

Depends if you want to summon them or not.

20 is ideal for summoning, they get their bonus when they arrive, giving them a safety net.

30 is best for just slogging.

You're right about the plagueridden. I'd spend the 30 points saved from epidimus on upgrades for your marines or predator.

Can save loads maybe on icons which I think are quite poor.

Tzeench Daemons can spam the shit out of smite by running 23 point units that consist of 9 brimstones and one blue horror each. You run the one blue horror as the caster because brimstones die after casting. They only cast with one die on a 5+ but they are so cheap to field that it doesn't matter.

I made a 1000 point list with 5 Heralds, the changling, 18 units of 10 horrors, and points to summon 3 more units of horrors to not lose command points by fielding them as auxiliary detachments. You have 12 command points playing that list as 3 battalions.

Don't use Iron priest on bikes/wolfs because they have to NOT MOVE to repair. Iron Priest on foot can advance and still repair so they can move 7-12' a turn allowing them to keep up with the dreads.
Battlescribe rules are wrong when it comes to Iron Priests.

True, unless grots become so stupid that they don't understand the concept of fear.

I know I'm a retard, but where the everliving fuck is everyone pulling out point values of units? Where are they hidden in the index?

Speaking of which, where are the Primaris? Aren't they part of the SM faction?
