>strike squad- 10 knights
>strike squad- 10 knights
>Stormraven- hurricane bolters

All these storm bolters will fuck over armies short of MEQ.


I gotta say the doomglaive naught pleasantly surprised me. At only 168 points, it combines the best parts of a Dreadknight and a venerable, and is cheaper than both.

I hope we get psybolts in our codex.

>>54150957
Looks ok, though desu you may want to mix things up a bit more- if you don't get off a good charge, or for any other reason get caught in the open, 90% of armies will demolish you.

A good way to fix that is some AM Tanks, maybe drop one genestealer blob and sub in whatever you need to kill hordes. But looks scary for fighting elite armies, you'll tear my knights to shreds

>>54151196
Heavy bolters are your friend, hellhounds would be a decent compliment to the bumrushiness of your army, but Russes (while not the killiest thing ever) can take a ton of heat and lay down a good amount of anti-infantry.

I don't remember which GSC can take them, but flamers are good too. Just find a way to deal with chaff and you're good, the mathhammer charts in the OP are a good guide

>>54151510
Russ is only good because it's a stable heavy flamer platform.

You can put many more flamers in a open topped truck. But it'll be prone to getting recked

Flamers R bad is a shitty meme with 0 math or theory behind it.

All four of the main 'iconic' chapters, due to being pushed as mascots at various points in the game's history, attract a lot of people that love them, and a lot of people that hate them.

For the Ultramarines, I can see the appeal people have in going for the most 'soldier'-y of the iconic dudes. Blood Angels have their space-vampire-mutant thing going on, Space Wolves are some increasingly imbalanced mix of Viking and Furry, and the Dark Angels are all Space-Goth-y. The Ultramarines are soldiers, pure and simple. Some people like simplicity like that.

This is one of those things where they will release a FAQ and instead of using Errata to alter the rule to say <CARNIFEX> instead of Carnifex they'll just have the question:

A: Yes

Leaving us with a rule that is worded inconsistently with its intended effect for no reason.
>>
>>54152602
There are half a dozen units with rules worded in similar ways, the same is true in AoS, in AoS there is a FAQ saying that rules that specify unit names affect only the named unit, and don't interact with keywords at all. This is a thing that actually impacts gameplay quite a lot.

Whatever you want it to be.
>>
>>54152711
While normally speaking I'd agree GW consistently doesn't make a distinction between pluralized and singular names, "carnifexes" is also comprised of "Carnifex" models. By the same rationale if Old One Eye buffed units based on keywords he would not buff regular carnifexes at all, because they do not have the CARNIFEX keyword, they have CARNIFEXES.

This also affects Longstrike and the FW hammerheads and a number of other leader units that do not buff themselves.

Ultras are vanilla, true. However, their whole schtick is being adaptable to any type of fighting.

They don't excel at anything but they always know how to apply to proper tactics and strategy to any situation that may arise.

I'm looking at possibly getting into 40k -- looking at different factions to figure out what I might like.

So far, my ideas narrowed down to:
>Imperial Guard
>Tau
>Chaos Space Marines of some sort
>Space Marines of some sort

Most of the Space Marines chapters I've read about and liked have some kind of identifiable flavor theme, which may or may not carry over into the tabletop. Space Wolves are Viking warriors, White Scars are Mongols with bikes, etc.

But I can't tell what the deal is with the Crimson Fists. They don't seem to have the same siege specialty as the Imperial Fists. What is their thematic hook? It can't just be that they're Hispanic, can it?
>>
I was wondering if you can take units from different armies in the same detatchement.

In my case, I play grey knights, and wanted to include two dreadnoughts in my army. However, I think paying 17 points for them just so they can have a 12" 1 damage smite, which is kinda useless when I'm equipping them as ranged fire support with Lascannon/missle launchers.
Is there anything stopping me from just using normal, space marine dreadnoughts instead of the grey knight ones? Could I fill them in the madatory elite slots of my grey knight vanguard detatchement? Since both units have the keyword Imperium, shouldn't it be legal? Does this mean I could also grab any Imperium unit I want and tack it onto my existing force?
>>
Can SoS + Inquisition be a decent, fluffy army list? I was thinking of running a Culexus too for maximum FUCK PSYKERS.
>>
>>54154132

Yes, that is exactly how the rules work.
You don't play Grey Knights any more, you play Imperium. Where 'Grey Knights' now means 'this specific HQ lets them reroll shit'.
>>
>>54154120
Hate orks, stubborn and good at shooting like the fists. Like sternguard and the ordo xenos.
>>
>>54154120
Crimson Fists were suppose to be just Imperial Fists who like the Codex A LOT. Until their fortress monastery was attacked by orks and their super missile defense system blew up most of the chapter.

They're specialty is having more veterans than most chapters because their young recruits got blown up. Reason why in 7th, Pedro was able to take veterans as troop choices. Not to mention they super hate orks.
>>
>>54154009
Nice try, Nurgle.
>>
>>54154120
Crimson Fists were, along with Black Templars, the get shit down guys. This included some jobs for the inquisition censuring other SM chapters, which has them a poor name.
The last big thing was them nearly being wiped out due to Orks, and struggling to rebuild.
>>
>>54154120
They are essentially all veterans and scouts, with nothing inbetween, since their homeword was attacked by a massive ork WAAAAAGGHH. The veterans are the few survivors, and everyone else in the Crimson fists are all neophytes/new recruits, which are used as scouts.

If you like the idea of playing lots of fast, sneaky scouts as your troops, being supported by a couple of hardhitting veteran units like terminators or sternguard, play crimson fists.
Also, Space Mexico is a pretty cool aesthetic imho.

>>54154168
OK, thanks. That helps, but it doesn't grab me quite the same way as some of the others. I think I can cross them off my list.

You can do that, except remember that 17 extra points is actually worth a ton because it means your dreads can be affected by gate of infinity and hammerhand, which gets you turn 1 threat and wounding knights on a 2+ respectively. Having extra Denys is always nice as well.

I'd pay if I were using them as melee dreads, since then they'd also benefit from havig smite, but I'm using them as objective campers for long range firepower. (Lasmissle)
They don't need Gate, since they don't really want to move, and casting hammerhand on my paladins seems like a better use of the power than on a S6 Ap - dreadnought.
And the extra denies haven't actually ever come into play until now, either they've been out of range, or I have enough other units to deny.

cryptek
overlord w/ power sword and orb
2x 14 warriors
5 immortals w/ gauss
1 stalker w/ particle beamer

Spearhead
cryptek
3 annihilation barges

Flying detatchment
2 D-scythes and one night scythe

1999 points
Thoughts?
Its got 8 RRs and is tailored within an inch of its life to get a stalker in there. I only have 30 warriors and wasnt wild about doing 3 units of 10 and no immortals. I also dont own any destroyers

Yeah, I know that boyz are the backbone of ork forces but I'm not gonna lie - I'm not the fan of gorilla-butt boyz. I like Orks for mainly their machines. Maybe I will buy more boyz in future but money actually does matter.

Genestealer Cult bros, is this a good idea for vehicle popping?

Goliath Truck with Demolition Cache
10 Neophytes
2 with Mining Lasers
144 points


So for 144 points, you get a mobile little anti tank unit that can toss D6 demo charges from 20" away. If they blow up the truck (when), you have 2 las cannon shots essentially.

Seems decent?

Also, the Farsight Supplement explicitly describes Ork spores settling and growing from the rust deserts of whatever planet Farsight was fighting them on, so it's also borne out of fluff. The Imperium as a whole probably knows the procedures, but confirmation of the theory is probably only confirmed by several researchers who have studied Orks, while everyone else settles on the tried-and-true methodology of burning out their habitations with fire to keep anything Orkoid from coming back.

I always thought forgefiends and maulerfiends were cool to use. But could easily backfire.

Decided to repost this from last bread. I came up for an idea of a Forge War book, where the Traditionalist Admech rally a great armada and smash the Tau Empire with orbital firepower and landing expendable fighters on their worlds to fuck shit up before leaving, and attempting to draw away the Sept fleets. If that didn't happen so they couldn't Exterminatus the Sept Worlds, they'd lay siege and grind the bastards down at their isolated strongpoints. The campaign result would be to splinter the Tau Empire into five-ish chunks, two normal Tau but battered and bruised, two under Mech siege and one Farsight Enclaves attempting to do whatever, but also send Tau refugee fleets scattering across the galaxy and setting up wherever they think they'll be safe, to give them an excuse to meet and fight more people and have their viewpoints varied a bit from one homogenous mass to several individual Greater Good variants.

Just to make them more spread out and interesting, showcase a couple of their faction problems and provide My Dudes with a shamelessly self-promoting day in the limelight, although I did come up with a little short story about one of the Admech fleets being betrayed from a Radical Clade within them, who wanted the Tau planet saved from being glassed so they could yoinks and study their tech, as well as taking a chance to get one-up on their rivals.

Hence, Mechanicus fleet No. whatever is gutted of ground-deployment capabilities and heavily damaged when their main warship blasts their troop transports to smoking ruin and slugs it out with their brothers because MY PLANET REEEEEE rather than asking for a week to deal with things, which I thought was suitably Admech.

Idea was that the Mechanicus force starts out unifed, but when they think they've won and disabled the main Tau threats they start scrapping and screeching among themselves, not often with actual guns, but it means that the Tau still have half their empire left. Also provides an excuse for later Admech Schism book if Cawl notes the "senseless waste of resources" and steps in with his Radicals to fight the suddenly militant and sabre-rattling Traditionalists in a grab for power and intra-Admech Rep Points, since we already know he wants to be Fabricator General.

>>
>>54155646

They did so in various ways, all of them themed with fire and volcanism. Though one was just by creating an engineered rolling firestorm that swept through areas while ground teams mopped up the survivors. And Farsight engineered it so the Ork Warboss would be singled out in the center of a flaming tornado, so that he could meet him in single combat.

Farsight kind of loves fire.

Something similar, but this isn't Radical Magi wanting tech, this is a war of extermination. Also a full campaign, not one Clade over three planets tops.
Rather than showcasing many individual skirmishes, it would be a strategic book, with maps of the Tau Empire and descriptions a little bit more like the HH Istvaan things, rather than a Regiment-scale battle tops. Individual battles would be a flavour thing and inserted for different points of view, rather than just giving an excuse for Hero X fights Hero Y. I feel the Admech and the Tau can show their differences and relative weaknesses off better on a larger scale, and I will admit this is somewhat about beating the Tau up a bit and making them less complacent.

Daemon Space Fire went out after a few months apparently, thus allowing the Tau to send their fourth Sphere of Expansion, which got nommed by Warp.

Just kinda snuffed out and the Tau are like "Hey, shit turned purple, lets send troops at it!" And expansion fleets are suppose to be a good chunk of their forces but they're willing to keep throwing bodies into the Warp.

>flamer r bad is a shitty meme
GEQ shooting GEQ assuming you're firing from max range, getting overwatch on a failed charge, firing again and then entering melee, a flamer averages 4.664 wounds assuming the target isn't in cover, 3.50175 if they are.

Using a plasma-gun, you can start shooting at 3x the range, so 2 shots from outside of RF range, one within RF range, one round of overwatch, then another round in RF range you average 3.97889 wounds, and your enemy gets no save even in cover.

The flamer becomes much worse against higher T and armor save models, the Plasma gun much less so. It's also much more rigid in it's use pattern.

Some question things.

What happens to a humans soul when they die? I know if theyre near demons or chaos shenanigans it can be eated but what if youre just some fuck on a garden world who has a heart attack after midday prayers? Do they actually join the emperor?

Speaking of joining the emperor, are the psykers he's being fed and the trillions of worshipers powering him up in the warp?

How much can he interact with the physical realm? In one of the books it talks about how a bullet made out of a peice of his armor curved in the air to land a shot on a massive mega deamon and its implied it was his doing. It also seems like he can have psychic chats with people in the throne room as he did with that photo-SOB and Roberto Girlyman. If he can do that why doesnt he just communicate his will through a custodian? Why did things ever get this bad?

Their standard infantry weapon can rip through armoured vehicles. How haven't they conquered the galaxy yet? I know they have issues consolidating their forces what with the tombs opening up at different time, but how would you even fight them?

It's 40k, grimdark n shit
Crons run off windows 40k, so naturally it's full of bugs

they haven't taken over the galaxy because they're still getting their shit together - not all of the tomb worlds have woken up yet, some are damaged. Even once a tomb world is active, the whims of the Lord commanding it might preclude a galactic invasion. Hell to some extent the necrons aren't taking over because they already feel like they've taken over - the ways they engage in are just pest control to them.

As to how you fight them? With difficulty - if they're invading you, then you have to bring overwhelming force and massive numbers to bear to get them to back off and reconsider their approach. If you find yourself on a tomb world, your best bet is going to be finding some really essential bit of tomb-machinery and blowing it up and then hoping that that messes up the necrons enough for them to go backt o sleep

I've only ever come across a few primers that isopropyl can't deal with and those can be taken off by super clean which has yet to damage any of my plastic minis despite leaving them to soak a long time.
