Yesterday someone asked how viable spamming smite in a 2k list was, so I made an army list with 8x4 zoanthropes 2 broodlords and 3x4 venomthropes and promised to try it out for them.

I played a game vs a 2000 point harlequin list on a 6x4 table with primarily ruins for terrain. The game lasted until turn 5 where the harlequin player conceded at the end of my movement phase with 1 troupe master a shadowseer and a starweaver left on the board. I had almost exactly half of my army left, 4 zoanthrope broods, a broodlord and 2 venomthrope broods remained.

So is it viable? Against some army lists, in particular those with high value, low wound models dependent on armor and invulnerable saves.

>>54357669
Honestly, as good as Pallies are, I'd not recommend them for a "fluffy =][= list", unless you're taking a Grand Master.

SC primaris when? What will be in it?

>>54358000

So how are zoas now?
Whats their use in a "regular"mixed nids army?
is it still fine to bring one unit of 3 or do you need more?

>>54358000
Smite seems very swingy and unrelaible, but spamming it sounds like it would work, weight of dice. It really just comes down to how efficient your psykers are, and how cheap, for the few that perils. As you said, marines are fucked against it, but there are many ways to fuck marines, what we need is horde fucking.

Tau seem very reliant on synergy.
Pulse accelerator drone from a unit of pathfinders + a fireblade nearby means that they deal 3 shots an 8 point model at 18". And that's less than two intercessor squads in terms of points.

>>54358091
BA are hands down the most reliant.

>>54358045
>Whats their use in a "regular"mixed nids army?
There really isn't one, they're not a very useful unit.
>>54358048
This only really worked because harlequins happen to be basically the perfect opponent and because zoanthrope units with 4 or more models deal an additional D3 mortal wounds and because of the enormous quantity of them.

>>54358091
Stealth suit teams with markerlights and homing beacons + suits in orbit.
Stealth suits can sprint it up the battlefield and/or infiltrate to drop homing beacons for crisis squads to drop within 8" of squads, to use flamers or for farsight to charge easier. They can then markerlight an unrelated unit for commanders to kill, as commanders get the biggest benefits from 1 ML.

>>54358000
Its great against low model count armies. It does jack shit against conscript blobs, orkz etc

>>54358091
>Tau seem very reliant on synergy.

Yes, that is kinda their thing.

>>54358044

They brought Formation stuff back. Like 3 vindicators gets a special strategem.

I've just got back in the game, I've got the primaris half of the DI, and left over from my last time around I've got 30 unassembled guardsmen, how should I nest assemble/arm them to supplement my primaris until more stuff is released?

Hey guys I have no models because I'm brand new but I'm very interested in thousand sons. Is it recommended to pick up that army? Maybe a 500 point list to start?

It's recommended to play whatever the fuck you want and not to give a fuck about anything else.

Get 500 points with a plan for how you want to expand to 1000 points. If you don't know how to paint watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HOLM7dXiyk and if you're scared ask your local GW store owner for a free tutorial primaris marine and practice on that guy first.

Also remember that you can include any unit your army that you want so long as it shares a single faction keyword with the other units. So you can have any chaos unit and are not limited to specifically thousand sons units.

Getting a 500 point army is actually pretty hard for T-sons since the nerf to Exalted.

Models you should get though are: Ahriman, Rubrics, Tzaangors, exalted sorcerers and Scarab Occult. (So everything really)

For 500 points you get 497 points with Exalted Sorcerer on Disk, 10 Tzaangors and 5 Scarab Occult with missile rack and rotor cannon.

Alternatively you can go something like Ahriman on Disk, 10 Rubrics with 1 rotor cannon and 13 Tzaangors.

Just started painting. Overall, I'm pretty happy with most of the details on the models, but I'm having a hard time with these small skulls on helmets.

How do you get these to consistently "pop" with good definition and detail?

Right now I'm doing two thin coats of White Scar, Nuln oil shade, and highlight the brow area with White Scar again.

Still, a lot end up looking like white blobs (pic related).

We need to play together against a bunch of NPC's and make a story out of it.

Housure being considered in my local gaming group:

Embarked units can disembark before or after their transport has moved.
If they do it after, they cannot move or charge for the remainder of the turn.

What do you thing /tg/?

>>54358641
In my limited experience with skulls, washes bring them out.

Ideas for basing my Death Guard?

I was thinking getting Astrogranite, giving it some Tyrant Skull, some green splodges followed by nurgles rot (Basically like the Duncan video except with astrogranite).

Tactical marines in a Rhino move an extra 6", which is a free 6" advance while still being able to shoot non-assault weapons.

If you still want to disembark after moving though I'd say you'd have to count all the models inside as having advanced, which would mean no more advancing, shooting non-assault, or charging. It even makes sense fluff-wise since if you're hastily disembarking from an assault vehicle you won't have much time to aim a weapon not meant for that kind of engagement (like an astartes shotgun).

What do you guys think about a baneblade variant for the LoW slot in an imperial fists army? I know it's guard but that mix-match armies seem to be less important in this edition. On that note, which LoW should I steer clear of? I was leaning toward something with good anti horde.

Why can't hand to hand just be the same as the regular game?

>>54358878
I don't even.

If you want 8th edition units to work in shadow war, then you create kill team lists for them. If you want to make a skirmish version of 8th edition you should be adapting the AoS skirmish ruleset to 40k. What you've done here makes no fucking sense to me.

Eldar don't give a shit about how the imperium treats its people, but the blueberries are too soft to overlook the fact 99.99% of all imperial citizens live lives so poor that the lot of a starving African child today is an enviable one to them.

>>54358928
I don't want to make kill team lists for all the units in 40k. I like the special commands you can use in Shadow War. Never played the AoS skirmish but I assume it doesn't have Hide, Overwatch, Run, and special rules for movement.

Not really. They live more like factory workers and slum rats from the industrial period in Europe ratcheted up to eleven, which is way better than starving children in africa because they aren't just sitting around in the mud starving and getting shot at. They're getting worked to death, and their homes are shitty, but they got a place to live jobs and lively hoods.

My issue with it is that they can fire once in the shooting phase.

But ceaselessly in the assault

>>54359241
Everyone has split fire and only hits on 6. It's sporadic fire to discourage a charge. It makes plenty of sense and is rarely good enough to make significant changes. For auto hit units, it makes complete sense.

>>54359270
>Everyone has split fire and only hits on 6.
Except when they have flamers. In which case they always autohit. Being able to fire multiple overwatches you have issues like baneblades dealing an average of 28 automatic heavy flamer hits against any unit that attempts to charge it and doing that multiple times in a single phase.

>>54359352
That's why I said "For auto hit units, it makes complete sense."
It's a fucking wall of fire dude, are you going to charge through it? I doubt it. That's why marines are getting Reivers and I'm sure you'll see a variant of the shock grenade in other armies.

>>54359228
That doesn't even make sense. Why would a deep striking unit be able to move and shoot normally, but be unable to assault?

>>54359352

Just charge from 8.1'' lmao and flamers turn themselves off

>>54359390
It doesn't take much to stumble forward and hold a trigger. Righting yourself and running across a battlefield towards an enemy that is shooting at you is a completely different ball game. Hence the bit about special units being able to charge. How that doesn't make sense to you is beyond me.

From a balance perspective it'd be nice, tho it's not too bad at the moment.

I'd prefer deep strike to have a random risk element though.

It warms my heart to see black Salamanders.

Is this the next needed retcon now that Khornate Knights is expunged? What was GW thinking, deciding the only black space marines should be turned into charcoal colored lizard people, anyways?

Pure melee armies are obviously the most braindead right?
Get mob, move at enemy mob, roll dice and remove models. Basically All Units->right click enemy base
Pure shooting armies are a bit smarter requiring a bit of positioning, screening etc.
Next up are armies with some blending of different styles. Like an army that shoots things up with a unit that sweeps in crush the softened foe.
The most intelligent and patrician armies are the ones that make use of all possible phases and tools present to them, incorporating a wide variety of unit tools.

So IG is for smart people while the other factions are for morons.

>>54358491
Making sounds from time to time is one of the reasons I still play this thing.

Also bait idiots into bad plays by taunting them

>>54359552
IG is mob.

>>54359552
Horde armies are the most braindead.
IG guardspam is just as bad as an ork mob

>>54359536
I'd accept moving D6" and counting as having advanced, which would prevent most units from charging, prevent shooting heavy weapons and give assault weapons a -1 penalty to hit.

I think that would be comparatively balanced.

After playing Dark Angels for almost a decade, I want to start an OC chapter, as a Black Templars successor. I decided to theme mine around a holy city based on a desert world that is now deep within the Maledictum. Yes it is based on Jerusalem/Constantinople/the crusades
In addition to the space marines, I also plan on complementing them with Imperial Guardsmen, and maybe some Sororitas.
This is my list so far. Lysander is a stand in for a special character I plan on converting.

It is good in theory. But realliang on those 5+ or 6+ the entire game is not a good idea.

Imperium got a huge chunk sliced out of it by a massive warp storm
Cadia got fucked up, Abaddon and the Eye of Terror are running rampant
Guilliman came back, called his buddy the Archmagos and made space marines 2.0

Say, I've been thinking it over and, even as an Admech player, vehicles and heavy weapons are dumb.

Would you object to a rule saying units T7 and higher don't suffer the -1 to hit with heavy weapons? That way dreads, Tanks, battlewagons and the like can play a little better without fucking balance over. Aside from maybe open-topped shenanigans, I think it could work.

I'm thinking of proposing it to my group, any downsides/oversights to this?

What if the whole Primaris thing is designed to consolidate the SM chapters in the future?

Hear me out. In a recent video they talked about how there's something coming after the Primaris, which will basically merge the Legacy marines and the Primaris marines. (Crunch wise, this will be them eventually going 100% truescale for the marines.)

None of the Primaris marines have the special rules like the Wulfen or Death Company stuff. Maybe later, but for now, nada. Fluff wise, all that is up in the air.

They've also mentioned that basically the SM codex will cover all the chapters, with Ultramarines being the base and everyone else being, well NPC Chapters with Chapter Tactics and Stratagems and the like.

So what if their grand plan is to just... consolidate all the Space Marines as glorified Ultramarines, with Stratagems and Detachments and the like to represent the NPC chapters, much like how you're playing Craftworld - but if you want to represent a specific CW you can take the proper Detatchments and the like?

This would let them put out and playtest one book -- Loyalists Adeptus Astartes -- and one book for Traitor Adeptus Astartes, and then move on and cover the rest of the armies instead of spending half a year with just SM chapters that only a fraction of the playerbase plays.

>>54360019
Tanks are already good? Odd, lots of people in my meta are complaining. Maybe they're just bad.

>>54360043
What's dumb about it, aside from PotMS being redone? It seems odd to me a 10,000 year-old super soldier encased in a robo-walker filled with targeting tech has the same amount of trouble firing a lascannon on the move some backwater guardsmen does.

>>54360100
Goblin Games sell their GW stuff at 20% off most of the time

Your entire theory is retarded because the Codex doesn't cover the other Chapters that normally get their own Codexes. Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Grey Knights, Deathwatch, all that shit is still separate from Codex: Space Marines.

Hey guys, I have a question. My friend has only one HQ that has all of the other keywords for the other units in the detachment but another one that shares only one keyword with everything else.

>>54360276
I think Vulkan and the Khan are easy enough to bring back. He'stan would just have to find the missing relics (with the help of some new primaris marines) and Guilliman's Eldar friends might be able to locate the Khan in the Webway.

Army Painter Brushes. Yes or no?

>>54360308
It's super presumptuous to claim that something is certain when the decision to release something is under the total and arbitrary control of a group of people.

GW could just decide not to ever release mortarion for some reason (maybe someone will murder a bunch of dudes with a scythe in the UK and suddenly it will become distasteful to release a new dude with a big scythe or some shit)

>>54360405
I also like them, BECAUSE they look a bit retarded.

I think the new batch of Space Marine players will be a lot less uptight than the old one.

Take the Inceptor models, chop off the propulsion pack and the skates, add a power first on each hand then sculpt a sheath over a bolter, and you get Aggressors.

Kitbash your own shit then sell it as a whole new product. Nice effort, GW.

Funny enough, he was playing GSC. He had a Patriarch and then included a Hive Tyrant as his second unit HQ. They're both Tyranids, so he put it in to get himself a battalion instead of a patrol. Was this wrong?

>>54360347
I prefer them to GW's stuff. I mostly use the regiment and detail or insane detail, can't remember.

>>54360332
Necrons used to have one too, but it's quite dead

>>54360359
> did you use Citadel TM Spray anon?
Christ shill harder fuck off. Citadel sprays are fucking horribly over priced, and their white spray is quite literally the worst in existence.

>>54360473
no, thats fine, all units have the tyranid keyword

>>54358620
Tau is cool

>>54360443
Nop. I'm already having new "adults" players buying Primaris just because they are bigger.

>>54360152
Check the humidity before you prime. Personally I find if it's below 60% or so you're good to go. The lower the humidity the better. the paint is sticking to water droplets in the air on their way to the model, resulting in the grittiness.

>>54360382
I agree. Heck, I can see myself making a gravis detachment with the captain/interceptors/aggressors, heres hoping the new grav-razor-back can take these dudes

>>54360486
I thought it was weird that two tyranids couldn't be in the same detachment. Thanks for your input.

>>54360378
>Why are you reaching that hard just to not look wrong on the internet.
Because I'm not wrong, you are and you explained why in your own post.

>And maybe a meteor will hit Nottingham tomorrow and destroy GW HQ and we won't get any more warhammer releases at all!

The outcome of something isn't 100% certain if any other possible outcomes exist. I posted different possible outcome and you posted another one. That means it's impossible for it to be 100% confirmed, let alone 200% confirmed (which is fundamentally impossible).

I agree that the next primarch model GW is planning on releasing is Mortarion and I'm actually surprised they haven't announced it already, but I'm making an argument about your use of language.

>>54360522
so long as ALL units in the detachment have 1 keyword common across ALL units it works. So a commisar, tactical squad, immolater, and knight can all be one detachment

>>54360473
He'd lose cult ambush if it was a battle forged army. Every unit in the detatchment needs <Genestealer Cults> keyword for that to work. So if he didn't use cult ambush at all, it's fine.

How did I know some butthurt poorfag was going to call me a shill for recommending the product I've used to best effect just because it happened to be the actual GW one, lol. You faggots are so fucking dumb if you think they really pay shills to advertise on a tibetan powerwalking forum.

>>54360492

yes, and prime for taking money from

Good, you should be happy.

>>54360543
>he thinks houses can't be ventilated by ventilation systems
Don't judge me by your own retarded standards, anon.

>>54360522
Important additional thing: If he does this his GSC units cannot use Cult Ambush.

Check the humidity inside your house, nigga. You weren't making soup or letting it get humid in there while you breath all those fumes, right?

>>54360509
>interceptors
Every time. Why are you people so dyslexic?

>>54360542
>>54360559
He didn't bother with ambush. He just deployed everything normally.

>>54360566
I have my own extraction system in my painting room/office for that very reason, along with an airconditioning system for the whole house. I don't take my shit outside to prime because the results are always too varied. The Citadel spray I have been using of late has been abject shite. Bad batch delivered to my LGS? Perhaps, but when I've bought shit online as well, it's harder to presume "bad batch" anymore.

Then he was doing it completely fine. I use GSC units in my tyranid list all the time.

God damn it.

>>54360605
I don't know, it's weird sometimes. I had a can of primer that got grainy on me once, but I tried it later and it worked fine, and has since. So I assume another factor was at play.

>>54360373
In the fluff, sure, but not mechanically. They're all Knights Questoris and <Knight House> for their Faction keywords. There's no way to give them Adeptus Mechanicus and <Forge World>.

This is pretty annoying.
>their theorycrafting is retarded

This was really apparent in the guard vs tyranids 8th edition game, the nid list was just utter dogshit because they can't build lists on their own and have to use netlists to field viable armies.

>Have yet to find a batrep featuring nids that doesn't end with nids being played like shit and losing most of the time
I get that not everyone is great at the game, but why is it that there is consistently no one in any major online batrep that understands how to play?

>>54360737
Nids are an unconventional army and more difficult to play than average.

Watch Frontline Gaming streams if you want to see people who sort of know what they're doing.

mortarion model when?

>>54360687
Same goes for the Tau vs DG game. The pederast-looking aussie cunt is desperate to meme Tau viability and he barely scraped a table win against an army with basically no models.

And the DG player was absolutely destroying the Tau on victory points, at which point he says "I can only lose now if I get tabled, but I only have a few models remaining so I need to be careful" so what does he do? Runs his 10-or-so remaining models at 40 Fire Warriors, Commander Shadowsun and a 5-wound Stormsurge that he will struggle to kill.

>>54358687
Not enough conscripts

>>54360737
In this case he was just using all the 7th edition meme units and made zero attempt to comprehend the differences between editions and got raped without doing a fucking thing, it was pathetic.
