Hey all, attached is my first draft of a ~1k points list. I know I need to trim the fat. I also know that the Macharius is kind of shit but I really love the model so want to use it.

Anyone have feedback, where to drop ~100 points from?

Is this going to be playable? Not enough anti-vehicle? Too much foot-slog?

How are Deathwatch this edition? Do mixed squads work well?

>>54111469
>Nope, Khorne got the blood and skulls he wanted and left.
If he didn't get Ghazghull or Swarmlord's skull, then it's pretty much a loss. Also
>implying the mortals didn't get Eiffiel-towered by Nids/Orks after the daemons left on the Warpstorm.
By non-Khorne/non-Ork standards of 'we can never lose a fight because X', this was a loss for the Khornate guys.

Well they are T3 and 5++ sure they have W2. They basically explode if someone charges them or shoots them.

>>54111502
You can split fire with everything, so yeah.
you can only select one ammunition per unit tho.
>>54111539
Having only the option to either scrap something or utterly killing everything is not good.
I hate how random most damage values are(d6 is terrible for big guns)but not having middle ground was what made 7th shit, with everything blowing up with one hit or simply never fucking dying

>>54111477
>meeting your match typically implies a loss.

Nope, implies a draw since the Blood Crusade is still around and is momentum was not stopped or slowed in any way. Also the blood Crusade weren't there to conquer the planet, they were there merely to kill, burn, and main before the storms took them. So by no metric did they lose. Eat a dick.

>>It's the battle org chart and the little narrative blurb talking about how the Blood Crusade lost at Octarius.

Except it doesn't say it lost. Merely that the daemons left in similar fashion to how they left a thousand times before or after via the Warpstorm.

It's sad that you attempt to twist the fluff to fit your bias.

>>54111533
The Blood Crusade had no specific destination or target. They were merely there for the slaughter and blood. Stop headcanoning a victory or loss condition out of your ass. Blood and skulls were had and that's was the goal of the entire thing.

>By non-Khorne/non-Ork standards of 'we can never lose a fight because X', this was a loss for the Khornate guys.

Implications are worthless. I can implying that the slaughter the daemonkin did elevated every single one of them to immortal daemonhood.

Also you ignored that daemons of the Blood Crusade left but the daemons of the daemonkin never went away. In fact, they will continue to stream in drawn by the slaughter.

Do I,

A: use them all as conscripts and replace melee weapons with lasguns from bits box.
B: use them all as Acolytes, thus allowing for melee models to be melee, and just take a Vanguard Detachment (or two.)

>>54111539
Why is a battle cannon designed to take out tanks hitting a single guy on foot just as easily as it hits giant skyscraper sized machines of war?

The best inquisitors are all moderately heretical. Prove me wrong.

>>54111549

Warn your opponent and let them decide if they want to withstand that magnitude of firepower.

Unless it's an official tourney, then go ahead and Daschle, cause there'll always, understandably, be those those types in tourneys

>>54111423
Is the Hunter-Killer Mandatory? It's too much for a one-shot weapon. Drop it!

The Death Rider Command Squadron costs more points for extra ballistic Skill, which is stupid. Drop it. The DC Commander can only issue one order anyways.
>That's 74 points out of 145 so we're halfway there.
Memento Mori's pretty cool, but most sniper weapons do 1 damage anyways and if you're warlord's under melee attack I doubt he'll last long. Possible drop.

Do shotguns cost points? They don't in the regular index. Regardless if it's assault you're looking for the "Forwards for the Emperor" ability does the same thing but up to 24" range.

Drop Plasma Pistols for 10 more points
Drop Demo charge for 5 points
Drop Vox on 1 infantry squad and have them sit on the oppisite side of the commander from the command squad. Only the two remaining infantry squads on the far flanks or wherever will need vox links with the command squad.
5 more points.

>Thats 109 points down. But what are the DK Engineers doing other than holding shotguns rendered almost (but not completely) obsolete due to the "Forwards for the big E" rule?

Consider losing them altogether for the 39 more points that will put you in the 1000 points green

>>54111663
What am I looking at here?

Looks like a basilisk with no cannon.

>>54111549
arcos are hardly broken. the turn one charge is very strong, but with just basic S4 attacks are limited in what they can actually kill and to do so your opponent is throwing 250 points at you plus celestines turn 1 act of faith.

>>54111591
they're neat, and the kill team picks up some nifty bonuses from including bikers and termies, but at the end of the day theyre just more different sternguard that pay for their fancy bolters even if they take other guns. they die like any other MEQ and want to be in rapid fire range to do work, so you need bodies to absorb casualties, and each 49-point vet with a frag cannon cuts into that

But ID allowed for no middle ground.
things "hard to kill" weren't hard to kill.
One shot kills became too ordinary on supposed tougher creatures(im looking at you, nid warriors).

You're not going to destroy a tank with any kind of shell that creates a blast like that.

Pieplates were always retarded because of that. Either it's a single shot high damage shell, or low strength fragmentation shell that covers a large area. Think Tau Heavy Rail cannon vs Heavy Rail cannon submunition shot.

Battle/Demolisher cannons having both at once was always stupid.

It doesn't because it fits with new vehicles/mc multiwound profiles.

Mere injury is no excuse for failing your duty as an imperial citizen. Wounded troops are collected by the company medics and given immediate treatment. Anyone who cannot fight is left behind to recover on their own while the line continues it's grinding assault forward, but those deemed fit enough are stemmed up and drafted into the medic's entourage.This serves a triple purpose: The medics get more help and better protection as casualties mount and they become more valuable. Wounded soldiers still contribute to the fight, and if a bandaged wound reopens or further wounds are taken, these soldiers are already near the medics who can quickly patch them back up.

>Resist the urge to help the first man you see. Remember: Triage! Prioritize those who can still contribute to today's fight, and only after them can you help those who can contribute to tomarrow's fight. And only after them may you attend those who may never fight again.

>It's sad that you attempt to twist the fluff to fit your bias.
Not him, but I'm pretty sure that the one trying to twist the fluff to fit their bias is you, not the other anon. By claiming 'blood and skulls were had and that's the point of the entire thing', the Orkfags can simply issue the rebuttal of: 'the fight itself IS winning for us, and since we got to fight tyranids AND Khorne guys for awhile, we won TWICE as much!'

Meaning the only real losers in that scenario were the Tyranids and the Swarmlord. AGAIN.

So we have to apply the normal human standards of "did the attacker/invader get repelled/destroyed/just fuck off and leave?" Considering the Khorne daemons had to leave early and the mortals were all that was left, all signs to point to that being the case (even if we assume that all of the daemonkin warbands were at full strength when the regular daemons left the world). Most likely scenario is the mortals tried to follow the daemons/Warpstorm after it left, and any known warband/group like the World Eaters/Kharn took some losses, any well-known daemonkin warband got decimated (seems to a running theme with those guys) while taking down as many enemies as possible on the way out, and all the lesser known/no-name groups ended up all becoming decorations for many an Ork bosspole/Ork stew ingredients (cause nids can't eat tainted biomass after all).
This would fall under the 'fuck off and leave' category, which would be a forfeit aka a loss.

its nice, but you only apply it to some areas, not the whole model or it'll look really bad.

As per the runelord brass no idea, take a test model(or even a blister's piece)and try it to see if it works.

>Not him, but I'm pretty sure that the one trying to twist the fluff to fit their bias is you, not the other anon. By claiming 'blood and skulls were had and that's the point of the entire thing', the Orkfags can simply issue the rebuttal of: 'the fight itself IS winning for us, and since we got to fight tyranids AND Khorne guys for awhile, we won TWICE as much!'

No, not dear me. I am simply saying that the Khornates got what they aimed for and left. They would have gotten it regardless of how the battle went in this case being a draw.

>So we have to apply the normal human standards

No, you don't. The Khornates weren't there to conquer the planet. They were there to fight and kill just for the sake of it until their time ran out. Humans do not follow that logic.

Khornates more so than Orks since Orks have limits whil Khorne do not.

>Badscragg gawped at the carnage in the valley below. The Orks had been advancing on a miners’ town, expecting a few scared humies to stomp. As they drew near to the settlement, the greenskins had slowed at the sight of mounds of mangled corpses. Moments later, howling bloody murder, a horde of red-armoured Chaos boyz had come charging out to attack. The greenskins had roared their approval of a proper battle. However, it had soon become apparent that it was possible to have too much of a good thing. A snaggletoothed old Loota, Badscragg reckoned he’d more or less seen it all. But he’d never witnessed carnage like this. The Chaos boyz weren’t just killing the Orks, they were ripping them to bits. Ork throats were torn out by jagged fangs, the gushing blood drunk down in great draughts. Lashing tentacles tore off greenskin limbs and stuffed them into gaping maws. Skin was flayed, bones broken, and Ork guts ripped out by the fistful. Zog this, thought Badscragg, beginning to sidle slowly away from the fight. Even Orks had their limits, and this surpassed his. Suddenly, the Loota was plunged into shadow, choking on the reeking stink of sulphur. Badscragg looked up in sudden horror as something truly monstrous descended upon him, and then everything turned to blood and pain.

>>54112339
Harlequins are extremely expensive, partly because rising crescendo is so good. Arguably, better than soulburst on the units that can get it. I don't think harlequin units are cost effective in a ynnar army because they lose rising crescendo for it.

>>54112332

>orks have the goal of conquering the galaxy.
I have seen zero fluff claiming this. Closest I've seen to it is 'if all the Orks were to stop fighting and unite, they would conquer the galaxy' (paraphrasing).

>>54112263
When you want to actually kill something, take brides. When you want to tarpit, take wyches.

Bloodbrides with +S and Hydras do a ton of damage because they have 3A base. Wyches have one fewer attack and it really shows. They're better off with +T and generally just holding stuff in melee instead. Giving them +A is generally better than S for damage if you are using your T elsewhere like Reavers. However, +A should be used on Hellions first.

Tldr: it depends. Wyches are troops that are cheaper and do less damage but tarpit just as well as brides. They're better to go to 9 to carry the succubus you're not losing much with the weapon. Brides on the other hand benefit more from the full 10 because they get more attacks with those weapons.

>>54112332
Actually, khornate units are far more likely to fail morale tests than orks this edition. The passage you quoted undoubtedly happened, but it is most likely a rare occurrence, probably because power levels were used resulting in an imbalanced battle.

Ignoring the beast, at least as far back as three 4th edition codex for orks there's a quote from Ghazkull that said that the orks forgot that they were here to kill everyone and enslave those they don't kill.

>>54112389
No, in GORKAMORKA, the Orks met the Diggas benefactors (Necrons). The Orks were so terrified that one of the survivors got PTSD and decided never again to invade the Diggas tunnels.

There is also the Crimson Slaugher codex lore. The powers of the Crimson Slaughter were so terrifying for the Orks, that even the hardiest of the ork mobs dropped their weapons and fled.

>>54112389
>I have seen zero fluff claiming this. Closest I've seen to it is 'if all the Orks were to stop fighting and unite, they would conquer the galaxy' (paraphrasing).

The Beast blurb says that the Orks have a primal desire to conquer the galaxy. Then you have Ghaz that the Orks are mucking about and displeasing the gods by simply fighting for the sake of fighting. G and M want them to conquer the galaxy.

Then you have the Beast Series.

Going from 3 to 4 str is good, but situational It changes the math on 2,3,4, and 8 str units. Respectively, you'll wound an additional 25%/33%/50%/100% of the time. Gaining an additional attack on bloodbrides increases your wounds by a flat 33% on all toughness values. So you should consider the toughness characteristics of the army you're playing.

Against t3 (conscripts), the effect is the same. Against t2 (brimstones), you're better off with extra attack. Against t4, and t6 (8 should be 6 in my original post), +str is better. Against all other toughness values, +a is better, since +s has no effect.

I think though you're right that +S is generally better, but the neat thing about combat drugs is you can tailor them. Also, after you've used up all 6, you can just spam one on everything beyond it.

>implying that having a (rather dialed back) sense of self-preservation makes the Orks any less 'fight and kill' than Khornates, who have zero sense of self-preservation by comparison

I'll give you the Beast stuff though.

However, at their base level Orks live for fighting, primal desire for conquest be damned.

So at the end of the day the 'winners' of that battle in Blood Crusade (even if we call it a draw) are Orks (because they got another fight and can grow even stronger), and Khorne (because they spilled lots of blood in the name of Khorne... even if most of it is probably going to end up being their own). Meanwhile, the Swarmlord just wasted through a bunch of Tryanid biomass dealing with a bunch of assholes interfering with his task of getting that 'sweet, sweet green biomass' for Hive Queen Leviathan, and is nowhere nearer to actually conquering that damn planet than he was before the Blood Crusade dropped by.

Meanwhile, the other incident where the Blood Crusade met its match (almost guaranteed to involve Girlyman) the Imperium's going to be screaming victory over Khorne again.

Narrowing down on Redemptionists.

I have a few questions as I never went 'deep' into the Redemptionist fluff.

They despise mutants and witches. Yet their cult has spread through the Imperium a good bit.

A) How do Redemptionists travel if they hate witches (astropaths) - or do they accept them as an unsanitary need for now. (Not the mindless mobs, but the leadership.)

B) Mutants are hated... what about Abhumans? Like Ogryn? Ogryn are pretty dumb. Could you ever get a redemptionist Ogryn?

C) If I did convert all my cultists I've collected (no idea why just slowly got a ton) into redemptionists... is it unfluffy for them to be in the same fighting force as Sisters of Battle and Ordo Hereticus? Given I've got a heavy Ecclisiarchy presence with Penitent Engines, Arcos, and Preachers already.

Por Malcaor took a few hard body blows as the scientist’s fists thudded in, but at this point mere physical pain was no more impediment than a mild breeze.
>The blows grew weaker, less frequent, until the scientist’s body went limp. Then they stopped altogether.
Por Malcaor let Pryfinger’s body slump back against the wall, the cadaver’s dislocated jaw flapping. He withdrew his hand and forearm from his victim’s mouth. His fist was slick with a long string of bloody drool. The magister wrestled the corpse into the curlicue chair nearby, and looked around. He saw some of the orchard fruits still rolling, and picked one up. Smiling, he prized Pryfinger’s throat open with two fingers before using his other hand to roughly shove the orchard fruit as far into the scientist’s craw as possible.
>‘Greed,’ whispered Por Malcaor, ‘is the bane of the curious.’
The magister lifted the hem of his robe and wiped his arm clean of bloody phlegm on the garment’s interior

We could try that, but butthurt tau fags will try to deny every one of them if you cast them in a negative light.

I'll just start referring to Tau as SJWs from now on. Tau society seems like the natural progression of extremist SJW views, resulting in a caste system, elimination of freewill, forced sterilization of privileged races, voted for bernie, etc, etc

painted up Pedro here in about 3 hours, still a little bit left to do though

Anyone else annoyed at how supplementary factions like Deathwatch and Grey Knights have become full blown armies?

It waters down what made the 2 of them so great in the lore. PAGK/GK Termi's and DW KillTeams are now boring standard troops that get 1-upped by the other choices in their list.

It would have been better if DW were limited purely to killteams and watch commanders. No retarded corvus, or arbitrary vanguard, terminator, and bike squads.

And GK would have remained as purely Terminators, Strike squads, and Grandmasters. None of this baby carrier, "super pure" pureifiers, super terminator paladin bullshit.

A)Stock up on warp travel charms and wards, grit your teeth, even the Emperor tolerated the filthy mutants when need be.

B) If the Redemption used an Ogryn for anything it would be slave-level respect... send them into battle and don't care if they come back.

C)They're an extreme (rather more extreme) offshoot/subsect of the Imperial Cult.

You'd be totally fine running them with a Ministorum force.

Not all Ministorum would be down with them though... Redemptionists tend to immolate the majority of the tithe base ;)

None. You're right, capitalism is in the end moderately better than communism. But it is broken in concept and that shows through in the end product of today's society. Globalism, multiculturalism, sexual freedom, constantly rising inflation, yet shrinking populaces in first world countries.

The better question to ask is "What don't Orks eat?"
The answer is: "Rocks... maybe."

I didn't even realize you painted his helmet the wrong color, it looks fine. Pedro has a good model and the red isn't out of place since they already have it on their fists and emblems. It's not like you painted his helmet orange or something.

As they live in the Webway (surface of the Warp) and their main predator is Daemons, it is super illegal to do anything psychic in Commoragh because it might point daemons in the Dark City's general direction... using any psionics gets detected by a bunch of psionic gadgetd and a crazy amount of dakka brought down on your entire quadrant.

Being Dark Eldar, they have tried sneaking daemons in and blowing up warp gates to kill each other pretty often. It never goes well.
Vect realized it's way easier to drop Space Marine Battlecruisers onto anything he wants dead. That's why he's the boss.

Baron Sathonyx got kicked into reaverdom because he brought a Farseer to Commoragh alive as a trophy, which was pretty stupid of him.

Instead of getting congratulated like he was expecting, he started getting shot at and banished... he uses her(the Farseer's) bones to do creepy divination and between being super salty about being a wanted man and the info the bones tell him he became the leader of all hellion gangs, and made hellions more than dumb punk reaver wannabes.

Also, like Malekith being afraid of a male witch killing him due to prophecies, thus exterminating/enslaving any male caster, Vect is really damn smart; so smart the only plausible threat to his domination is magic psychic bullshit, so he keeps everyone at each other's throats in general and makes sure no one can act beyond his comprehension via supernatural powers...
His two biggest threats/rivals are Sathonyx due to some janky future bones and uniting the underclass (hardly an actual threat, at best Sathy is pretty much a cross between Space Bin Laden and Jared Leto. But an increasing amount of assassins and huge bounties hasn't taken him down yet) and Lady Malys, who was just about as smart as him in the first place, and is a patsy of Cegorach, thus also got some prescient psychic shenanigans going on.
Unlike Sathonyx, Malys is actually doing a great job of undermining Vect.
