Prob 3 per codex. 8 chapters x 3 = 24. Dunno where the fuck those other 2 came from. 3 strategems seems like a good and typical amount right?

Each Chapter gets 1. The rest of them are all generic or unit-specific.

26 - 8 = 18. So probably 3-6 of those are Adeptus Astartes and the remaining 12-15 are for units.

Pay for as much firepower as humanly possible, go balls deep into battle. While vehicles (particularly blast weapons) have lost a lot of their long-range killing potential, their increased durability and improved movement make them vital as front-line damage sponges. Moreover, the weapon options are fairly priced, it's the chassis that breaks the bank. Put enough guns on it to justify having paid for 20+ wounds.

Not really. They're much worse at it than in 7e.
Go look at their 7e codex if you don't believe me.

>They're hard countered by conscript spam but nobody actually runs that. They can deal with 100 conscripts in a list pretty well.
Hard countered by any spam, because a dakka knight is almost 600 fucking points, and almost never makes those points back except against a few unit types.
They also can get bullied away from such targets, and if you ever charge one with cheap non-infantry models, its gg.

Assuming the painting skills are good enough, Eldar. Maybe thousand sons or a few of the more eye catching loyalist chapters like the howling griffons.
>>
>>54418387
yes, but they contribute.
If 50% of my army is S4-5, 0-2 AP, 1D, they'll put out 5-10 damage over a couple of turns. So it's like they're another lascannon or two.

In 7e, they were nothing.

So I can have those points, knowing they still do something even against a skew. Where before you needed a direct way to counter a skew if you want to have a big section of S4-6 weapons.

You're generating out attacks based on examples, and repeating them the number of times they could happen in a game.

That's bootstrapping. You're generating out statistical samples from population statistics, not doing actual sampling.

You don't generate anything.

First of all, you have no idea what method I'm using because I haven't even told you, so you're sounding pretty insane right now for even leveling such a specific accusation.
Second of all, no I'm not using population statistics, and i don't even understand how you think that would apply here.

Nothing is really like that at the moment. Overall functionality of armies is much more uniform at the moment. Some units in some armies are garbage, but no army is just a steaming shitheap. Additionally in this edition armies can contain units from any army list so long as all units share at least one faction keyword, meaning any Imperium faction army can contain units from any imperium army list, the same is true for chaos.

so you get a new sample from the old sample. That is generating a sample, from the old sample.

You're mathhammering.
So your going "# of attacksX chance to hitXchance to woundX(1/chance to save)" with a damage calculation.

Those are population statistics. We know what they are because we know those numbers.

And know it's qualitiative analysis to determine accuracy in mapping prediction of high level quantitative studies. In this case, as many, the qualitiative includes a more detail quantitative element.

I used to hate the Ultramarines but now I'm building an army of Primaris Ultras.

We all know that faggots don't actually do the thing they discuss on their boards. Only at the rarest times you'll see a batrep here to actually showcase miniatures and their strengths/weaknesses, and it's always the same guys. But they often just drown under the sheer mass of shitposts and memes made by people who didn't bother reading the rulebook.

Actually that's not even what I did against hordes.
I tested it against conscripts by assuming every single attack would hit and wound, and ever single save would fail.
The knight took 6 turns to make up its points, assuming totally unmolested perfect shooting.
(That means it's pretty bad against that unit)

is not a sufficient analysis. Unless you're running mono-knights vs mono-conscripts, you don't need to do that.
You need the knight to be able to doing something meaningful while the conscripts are on the field.
Do the conscripts prevent the knight from contributing?

>can't find any actual content in these "sentences".
Because you have no idea how people work in fields that have limitation on their means for gathering direct sampling in controlled situations (ie very much like our situation here because we can't get people to play hundreds of battles in every pair with multiple repetitions), so need to make rely on qualitative observational samples which cannot be held to all the requirements for good statistical sampling to guarantee assumptions and future predictions.
Detailed qualitative analysis are used the check the assumptions and predictions.

If you actual use statistics in anything dealing with people, do yourself a favor a look into qualitative analysis, process tracing, and case study testing of quantitative analysis.

It shows that the knight has no reason to ever shoot at hordes.
Meanwhile, hordes can wreck the knight.
Non infantry models can also easily tarpit the knight and make your 600 point model useless until someone comes and saves it.

correct

where was this shown in your data?

this is why you look at actual game data rather than making extrapolations from limited statistical data.
Can the hoards actual get in the shots to do the wrecking?
Can the hoards actually easily get to the knight to tarpit it?

Can they do so without exposing themselves to other fire? Can they do so without moving away from support? Can they do so without moving away from objectives?

Actual play could test the assumptions that they can pull of the results you're predicting. Under the much more complex situations that result in actual play, and the details surrounding them getting those results or failing to.
That is called a Case study. It used, among other things, to see how the predictions you pulled out from data actually play out in reality.

>>54419428
Arterial blood is very bright red, venous blood is dark, both are more opaque than people think, both dry a dark reddish brown color.

The color, opacity and finish of human blood when it dries isn't suitable for painting miniatures and doesn't even look recognizably like blood when fully dried.

The new Speaker of the Dead stood before the ranks of empty power armor. The ancient suits looked diminutive and ramshackle standing beside the gleaming shipment of Mk X Tacticus. How many lost brothers had those suits held? How many of them would no longer carry a hero to his next saga?

"What will we do?" the Wolf Lord asked.

"By your leave, my Lord. I will carry on the old ways." The Speaker and Wolf Lord turned. A recruit, barely a neophyte, had stepped forward from the assembled ranks.

"By your leave, my Lord!" another recruit called out, stepping forward. The cry was echoed until it became a crashing wave, a howl which echoed to the high ceilings of the ceremonial chamber. When it had died down, not a single neophyte had failed to step forward.

The Speaker of the Dead turned to the Wolf Lord.

"It would seem, my old friend, that the old ways will yet live on," he said, no doubt a feral grin beneath his helm to match the bared death grin above.

"Aye. Our saga has just begun."

Gloss varnish + new GW gloss shades (or if you don't want to shill GW, mix some gloss brush on varnish to non-gloss shades) will be MUCH faster and MUCH easier than any other method of panel lining, Gundam markers included. Shit will just flow into the cracks due to the gloss varnish and the glossiness of the shade itself, and the gloss also prevents it from staining the raised surfaces.

Are there any good ways to get rid of Stormravens? My armies are Orks and Necrons, Orks saw a huge tractor beam downgrade and seem to kust be out of luck (lifta droppas maybe?)

Necron Sentry Pylons aren't even very good against them, three of them firing together (some 400 pts) usually won't kill one a turn. Only the full Pylon, the knight equivalent, has okay odds on killing one a turn and unless I am in deep apocalypse territory I am taking exactly 1 of those.

Moral of the story is do not take fortifications with the intent to use them as an efficient source of firepower. They're frequently passable against their primary targets, but the only times they approach "good" is punisher gatling cannons on vengeance weapon batteries and firestorm redoubts.

I guess it depends what the rest of your army is looking like and how you plan to deal with Stormraven spam.

So can crawlers. If there are two, they get to reroll 1s on their invulnerable save, they don't get a penalty for moving and shooting, and they have an array of weapons that works against pretty much anything (autocannon, big missile, cluster of small missiles, HMG).

The turn you drop them they get -1 to hit and they won't live to see the next one. If you want lance platforms, get ravagers or razorwings. The former is more robust and mobile, the latter has versatile missiles on top of that.

Scourges with dark lances are pretty good, especially if there's a few good perches to set them up in, but they're expensive. I'd only run them if you were expecting heavy armor.
>>
>>54420690
You could just bring an Elysian Platoon Commander. That would let you have the 2nd Command Squad and then not make them purely tied to the Company Commander. You'd also have enough orders to go to the infantry squad and both command squads.
>>
>>54420664
There are some sites that sell seperate bits, but the're always sold out :(.

As for your second question, I think taking a weapon with a Heavy rule on a mobile unit like the Scourges is a bad idea, it entirely depends where you put them on the board ofcourse, but a -1 to hit is a pretty big deal if it makes you only hit half the time.
And you certainly don't want that when a line Predators or Leman Russes is descending on your troops. 4x D3 Dmg is enough to cripple a tank in one turn so I'd run with blasters.

At least compared to Macro-Cannon.


In other news, finished damage calcs for Harlies+Ynnari, starting cost-calcs.
>>
>>54420664
Minimal scourges with lances are 150 points. This gets you 5 wounds, one of which is ablative, on T3 and 4+/6++, and four lances which get a malus to hit if you move.
A ravager costs 155 points, getting you ten wounds on T6 with 4+/5++ and three lances which can move 14, same as the scourges, with no penalty. It can also advance and still fire. Same range.

It does say so in the rule book. It clearly states that you use the base even if its a vehicle if it has one. It only uses the example of measuring to the model as vehicles as often they don't have bases. But Airborne units have bases and skimmers have the hovering rule stating that you measure to their hull and not the base.
Good job being retarded.

Bring a Manticore battery from the FW index maybe? They're good against both air and tanks.

Really though you're overthinking this. Your list doesn't need to be strong against everything. Unless your local meta has a lot of fliers you don't even really need much dedicated anti-air, especially since now fliers are just a -1 to hit you can reasonably kill a few with just massed anti-tank fire.

Ignore the idiots going on about Stormraven spam. Unless your store is full of WAACfags you'll never actually see it. Even if you do play against it you'd have to tailor your entire list to fight against it so don't even bother.

Just build the list you want, if you want to just bring a single Hydra, then just bring a single hydra. If you don't want to even bother with dedicated anti-air units, then don't bother. It's impossible to say how much you'll "need" without knowing your local meta but even then I'd say don't be a list tailoring faggot and just build the army you think is cool.

If the inclusion of a few Dark Mechanicum units in the FW Chaos index is any indication you might even get an official army in the future.

Noise!

I had no idea that was in the making.


I just love Daemon engines and since 8th have made it not an auto lose to have a themed army I'm just happy to try it out at last.

Thanks anon
So you believe Manticore Battery > Hydra? Is it because the battery can target non-flyers more efficiently?

>>54421072
Thanks

Captain
Primaris lt
2 Lascqannon contemptor mortis
2 Autocannon contemprot mortis

This will take care of all the anti-armor you need
16 S7 Ap-1 D2 shots
8 S9 Ap-3 Dd6 shots
Hit on 2 (3 on flyers), rerolling 1s
Wound on 3 (LC) or 3/4 (AC) rerolling 1s

Pretty much, you want both anti-armor and anti-air and at 300 points you're not really getting a lot of both unless you take something good at both. Also the Manticore Battery is supposedly really good for its cost atm.

Alternatively just take more anti-armor and fire it at the fliers as needed. You're only getting -1 to hit and if it hovers you don't suffer any penalties so devastators with lascannons are hitting it half the time anyways.

>>54421157
Did they fix the manticore battery being able to dump all its missiles at once?

No Know fear x2
First strike 1

Are these more cost effective than purchasing the equivalent price of Dark Imperium?
>>
>>54421149
Why Gravis it? It can't be targeted behind the dreads and won't bring any additional firepower, right?

>>54421157
Yeah, gonna check if what the other anon said fits pts-wise, otherwise I'll stick with the battery

>>54421184
Just checked, doesn't seem like it
>>
There is a screen cap of the chapter tactics floating around, I was just wondering what the source of that is?

Also is their an date given for the Primaris codex and or Chaos codex?
>>
>>54421227
Primaris are not getting a separate codex.

It got leaked so they released it
>>
>>54421210
Not really, I bought them to amplify the amount of Primaris Infantry I have. But Dark Imperium and Know no Fear combined gives you a fairly big infantry force.
>>
>>54421214

Not sure where you you see "gravis" in my post
>>
>>54420920
Wouldn't it have been more economical to just one Dark Imperium box instead of two Know No Fear?
>>
>>54421382
I already bought Dark Imperium, but by buying two copies of Know No Fear I get 10 Hellblasters and 6 Inceptors instead of 5 and 3 respectively. Plus all the Death Guard units and nice little game mat.

Meme but thin your paints a little bit more to get smoother highlights on places like the coat.
Otherwise tabletop standard/10
Nice job!
