I am a little confused on the new necrons reanimation.

So, as long as a unit is still on the board. You can roll for lost models every turn?

That seems, kind of amazing.
>>
>>54221462
Try reverse googling the other image, I found it that way, also the file name is Plagueburst Crawler, which is a pretty good thing to start looking for.
>>
>>54221541
Yes, and it's fantastic. Don't forget the Cryptek to increase that to a 4+ and Ghost Ark to get a bonus roll each turn. This heavily encourages max size warrior blobs, since they keep standing back up as long as one survives. The above combo gets you an acreage of 75% Reanimation per turn for the buffed squad.
>>
>>54221476
Tzaangors are Beastmen tho.
>>
>>54221576
Well that sounds fun as fuck
>>
>>54221541
Well it has some limits.

Doesn't affect ones lost by morale. Can't do it while surrounded by monsters.

You need to set it up to be coherent with existing models, not old ones. This cucks you in some situations where you can't just keep adding to one model.

Incidentally morale does become a very good way to deal with 20 man warrior blobs, so Necrons are wise to save their command points on them. But a wiser enemy still will split fire between two units of 20 and try to get them down both at the same time. Still though, necrons have a high base leadership so this isn't a very easy thing to do, usually requires your full shooting at two different units to get most out of it.

Oi! 4e Orkfag from a few days ago who didn't know about the 5e's Assault on Black Reach/Battle for Vedros starter set.

... As it turns out, I actually do have all the boyz (and Deffkoptas) from that starter set. If memory serves, I got them from a gent and his 10-12 year old son because the two of them were in my local GW store looking to sell 'em at the time.

I just never got around to painting these boyz until recently (plus I was a lad with barely any cash to my name at that point).

Any suggestions on what colors I should paint my Black Reach/Battle for Vedros boyz? (I run a freeboota warband, so I don't really have any real 'theme' for the army. Just whatever I feel like doing at the moment).

Fucking what? This isn't WHFB/AoS. It's 40k. Beastmen are a specific thing and are mentioned in the BRB's. They were Imperial designations. They fight in the Imperial Guard as cannon fodder. They do their shit by dying. They're not default Chaos. Therefore Tzangors are not 'Beastmen', they are at best a sub-type, because they follow Chaos.

>My List is attached. He got off two 12inch charges on turn 1 thanks to Da Jump which neutered my Hellhound and Plasma Russ.
Not completely sure what Da Jump does, but usually you can only attempt to cast a power other then smite ONCE per turn. see rules for matched play.
If you dont play matched play, you do it wrong

Da Jump lets you basically teleport 9inch away from other units. Also I'm sorry I was wrong it was once charge but he ended up locking 2 tanks up on turn 1 so I had to fall back.
>>
>>54222782
This: >>54222816
Also when you're highlighting, thin the paint down a bit more than you usually would, it helps the paint flow on to the edges in neater, tighter lines
>>
>>54222855
i think its "in the release pipeline" so there will be a general release sometime. they showed lots of stuff not yet on sale and i cant remember them previewing special releases like that.

>What did I do wrong?
Orkfag here.
Did you move toward or away from the tsunami of greenskins after they pulled off Da Jump, or were you stuck on the edge of the board?

Because it sounds like you might not have done anything wrong, the Ork player just got some really lucky rolls.

Let me guess? Full mob charged the tanks?

Literally cornered by an army of 120 boyz is a real uphill battle to win (especially given the number of attacks each boy gets nowadays).
>>
>>54223091
It was just a squad of 30 that charged the tanks but between all of his boys and his Morkanaut I had some hard choices when I actually got to shoot.

He actually apologized to me after the game(He's my best friend and I've known him since preschool) as it was his first time playing Orks in 8th and he didn't realize how strong mass mobs where.
>>

>>
>>54222964
>try heavy flamer sentinels
HF Sentinels are trash man they kill 2 boyz a turn, and he has 50 guardsmen as a screen already.

120 boys is meme shit, don't ask how to beat it with a normal list, especially when that list is almost entirely random anti armor crap. An Ork player puts 900 points of infantry spam on the table then 900 points of Taurox will kill 80 boyz a turn.

In fairness, it wasn't this effective until 8th came around because greenskins were always hobbled by i2 whenever it came to close combat

He also had a Morkanaut? While I haven't seen one in person yet, my recommendation is: next time prioritize killing boyz. Just 1 full-strength mob (hell, any bunch of 20+ boyz) will have way more attacks than a Morkanaut, making them the greater threat on the tabletop.

Heavy flamer is too expensive and the other ranged weapons are too inefficient. Full melee doesn't let you take advantage of the crazed rule, although that is quite unreliable, still.

Warcraft lore was actually pretty decent and moved pretty far away from WHFB lore until the more recent WoW expansions (Cata onward), where the new lore team of mostly new hires had to make their own story instead of riding the coattails of the older WC games' lore.

>>54224242
chapter masters and captains for their reroll aura can fit into pretty much any list

chaplains are basically budget chapter masters, and are probably not worth it these days unless your points are very tight

librarian powers focus very strongly on close combat, and make a good companion to a captain/master/chappy

techmarines are fine if you have stuff to repair like dreads and predators. the conversion beamer is better than the servo harness

primaris lts are a good budget option that also offer a good aura, but their lack of mobility heavily limits what sort of lists can use them. space wolves benefit a lot from wolf guard battle leaders having the same aura with all the standard marine options

That was the point of my post. He's so cheap it would be really stupid not to take him instead of a regular Tank Commander. At this rate I'm wondering why Pask is still a character and not just an upgrade, like "Ace Tank Commander", seeing that every Guard player has him in his army.

Anyone play any games today? I played a game in our escalation league. We're up to 750 points. I was Guard and he was Genestealer Cult.

I brought Pask in LRBT with iconic loadout, Harker, a Commander, Vets kitted to the teeth with 3 specials, heavy flamer, plasma pistol and heavy bolter in a Chimera, 30 Conscripts, Commissar, an infantry squad and an Armored Sentinel.

He had a Broodlord, some Genestealers, a Rockgrinder truck, 3 neophyte squads I think and a Chimera.

He got some bad rolls on his cult ambush so it I pretty much deleted his Genestealers and Broodlord by turn 2 which really took away a lot of his damage. It ended up being pretty one sided in my favor unfortunately. Highlights were us both struggling to get first blood with about 4 different units being down to 1-3 guys. Killing his Rockgrinder truck was pretty good because it blew up and did enough damage to kill my Sentinel, his Chimera and a few of my Conscripts. Sadly the Chimera and Sentinel didn't blow up again.

>>54224521
>>54224072
I feel a little bad taking him like every game that I take a Russ, but it's just so worth the consistency. I've taken normal Russes a couple of times and all they end up being are expensive fire magnets that do next to no damage. Tank Commanders are decent, but he's just too good to pass up. Every time I think "I'll just use a Tank Commander instead" I hesitate and think "But for 10 points more why would I not bother to upgrade?" Then when the game starts everyone groans "Of course he's Pask." I like your suggestion of Ace Tank Commander though.

Pretty fucking obvious that flamers always hit on overwatch since flamers always hits. But go ahead and debate an opponent to a standstill for 30 minutes about how there is no printed RAW text which says this. In fact, debate this every time someone tries to use an 'always hits' weapon or attack on you until they concede the match.

if belief and emotions are real things in the warp then belief and worship of the emperor could of turned him into a god of order in the warp. And since Sanguinius is basically worshipped as a saint and has his own day its possible to believe that because of this worship hes gotten powerful enough in the warp so that his soul can manifest thru people similar to the way demons can posses people.

Im not saying thats a good direction to go in but GW wouldn't have to completely recon and break rules to bring him back, they could just have the Sanguinor possessed by the spirit of Sanguinius the same way demons possess people for chaos.

This coupled with the fact that conscript tend to fare worse to the ill death of leadership has led him to believe that conscripts aren't as good as guard.

Your problem is that your IG is geared towards killing Tanks and Marine equivalents instead of killing Mobz.

Nid hordes and Orkz are going to push your shit in every fucking game.

You don't need to do conscript spam and technically conscript spam is going to struggle vs Ork Green Tide lists but you need to have the flexibility to deal with big units which means you need more shit like Heavy Bolters and less Lascannons, etc.

Honestly new Unaligned CSMs and Terminators and a new expensive Abaddon sculpt should be the next priority for CSMs after the DG get finished out.

It allows them to refresh most of the unaligned chapters at the same time.

They could easily do a cash grab with Angron since overall the Khorne faction isn't in too bad of shape with models but Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children need a complete overhaul.

You can only consolidate 3 inches towards the nearest enemy, so if 3 inches takes you into base contact with another enemy, you are now locked in combat, but warned, they get to fight then, and you already fought. So you can consolidate into something that could kill you if you're not careful.

They can actually go up to 24 inches if you roll 2 sixes. The problem with that order is that you're so far past your Commissar and Commanders that you can die to battleshock pretty easily. It's better used on infantry squads for objectives imo.

Well you can't order Commissars which is the biggest problem for Conscripts being so far away from home. Not sure about Officers ordering officers, you probably can do that I'm just not sure about it.

>>
>>54224724
Because this is not 7th boy

All normal rules for shooting are used.
IF you need to roll to hit, you can only hit on 6. regardless of modifiers.

If the fucker charges you from 8" away your flamer can't hit him.
>>
>>54224549
Take some Hydras. They're BS4+, 8 autocannon shots. BUT, they get +1 attack against units that have the FLY keyword regardless of if those units fly. All for a relatively cheap price. The Hydra platforms courtesy of FW are even cheaper. Oh look! Nearly all the Tau battlesuits have the Fly keyword. Fancy that! You can also take Plasma, always a Taubane, an reroll ones with orders.

But to ensure they don't just put all the incoming wounds onto drones, I recommend a bunch of infantry squads with heavy bolters. Use the HB's and/or rank fire to kill the drones first, then use the hydras, plasma, and other heavy weapons to kill the suits themselves. Remember, you're infantry can really shift with the "Move" and "Forwards" order. So being outmaneuvered is no longer an excuse.

I wish commissars could give orders. At the moment they're strong but when you're behind it's super frustrating having a unit that sits there and does pretty much fuck all.

Haven't seen anyone even TAKE sergeants because of conscripts.

Also, commanders are in a SUPER weird spot because they're characters. So they don't get a squad around them anymore unless you want to pay to specifically recruit one, but they still can't join it.
>>
>>54225495
A tank commander with triple OC plasma and rr1 averages like 9 damage vs t7 vehicles or something dumb like that. BC with multimeltas is almost as good without the misfire risk. Everyone always claims they suck but they're up there with the best non titanic anti vehicle units I've crunched when buffed up.

Depending on how my points are looking, I'll normally give bolters to all of my sergeants. For some stupid reason, Guard sergeants are stuck with the laspistol/chainsword combo and can't take a lasgun. I'll also give a bolter and/or plasma gun to commissars too.
>>
>>54225818
You know, infantry squads are actually better to take than conscripts.

Conscripts have durability and large squads so orders can effect more guys.

Infantry Squads deal more damage and take heavy/special weapons that you can remove last.

The conscripts thing really isn't that big of a deal, all I can see myself taking them for is: Because I like the thematics of conscripts+commissars and because of that obscene order to be able to give an order to run them 14-24 inches right up to the opposing player's face without caring what happens to them.

Depends what you want out of it. Can you read the codices on a tablet? Absolutely. Is it not a pain in the ass? Depends. The issue with using tablets is that sometimes they don't read as well or as fast as they should. God forbid you use the epubs, as well. If you can find a reader that solves those issues, you should be pretty well off.

Conscripts are nice to a degree but for the most part regular infantry squads are going to be more reliable due to better BS and the ability to have a special weapon and heavy weapon team integrated into the squad.

Basically you have 6 lasgun troopers worth of casualties before you have to start killing off the more important models.

Just having the option of adding an additional heavy bolter or plasma gun gives a lot of flexibility to gunline IG.

Instead of bubble wrapping your heavy weapon teams in conscripts think about protecting them with a squad of Bullgryns who can counter assault and knock out that rapid strike assault unit.
>>
>>54226097
It's 35 for the Boneswords, plural in all instances. You pay for each Deathspitter because it says he can be given two and the cost is for "deathspitter with..." singular.
>>
>>54226041
But he's a Daemon, so he has a 5++. It's weird, because all Khorne Daemons have either a 6+, a 4+, or a 3+.
>>
>>54226185
The special weapons are a definite advantage of infantry, but atm conscripts + commanders do more damage per point than infantry + commanders, since a single order can buff 50 conscripts or 10 infantry.
>>
>>54224712

Zhadsnark is an auto-take if you want to run a Warboss on Warbike. He's just straight up better for 1 point less.

>>54226207

Really depends on what you play against.

It seems like it's a list for killing vehicles and marine equivalents especially with all the Multi-melta sponsons and Basilisks.

It feels like you are relying almost exclusively on the Hydras and the Chimera's Multi-laser/Heavy Bolter combo to do most of the anti-infantry duty.

It's obviously got a fuck ton of vehicles which means you aren't going to worry about losing a few of them but on the other hand I'm not sure that you being very efficient in the weapon load out on the Russes.

>>54226264

>>54226676
Very much depends on the target.

The difference between a 3+ and a 2+ save is huge. but against probably the ideal target for the plasma infantry squad, Terminators, it comes out to about exactly the same assuming you also purchased an autocannon HWT. This is assuming neither side is rapid-firing and it quickly descends into the conscripts favor as the toughness goes up or down, the armor goes down, or the wound count goes down.

This is understandable considering the infantry squad+ commander is half the price of conscripts+commander. But then one of the big deals is that infantry squads are a lot more order-intensive than Conscripts are, and are also far less durable as far as the blob is concerned. as an example, the conscripts will kill the whole infantry squad in shooting, but the infantry squad will likely only end up killing about four or five conscripts in return.

If combined squads ever becomes a thing again, and you can blob up guardsmen, then guardsmen will become better than conscripts. However, that's not something that appears to be in the cards right now.

Fractionally better against t3, fractionally worse against t4 infantry. I'd say they'll be shooting at t4 more often.

That depends entirely on your local meta.

It's a pretty nice fire support platform, though it unfortunately suffers from the -1 to hit for shooting heavy weapons after moving. The ability to shoot after advancing with -2 to hit isn't super useful but it's a thing.

Autocannons are bad, Lascannons are just a worse Onager.
