Bollocks, of course I post as the thread dies.

Reposting once because the last thread died soon after my initial post.

Here's my current 1500 point Dark Angels list

Dark Angels Spearhead Detachment +1CP
HQ
*Azrael (+1 CP)

Troops
*Scout Squad w/Camo cloaks
**1x Scout (Heavy bolter)
**8x (Sniper rifle)
**Scout Sergeant w/Combat knife, Combi-flamer

Heavy Support
*6-man Devastator Squad w/Armorium Cherub
**4x (Plasma Cannon)
**Sergeant w/Chainsword, Combi-flamer

*6-man Devastator Squad w/Armorium Cherub
**4x (Missile launcher)
**Sergeant w/Chainsword, Combi-flamer

*6-man Devastator Squad w/Armorium Cherub
**2x (Lascannon)
**2x (Heavy bolter)
**Sergeant w/Chainsword, Combi-flamer

Dark Angels Vanguard Detachment +1CP
HQ
*Company Master w/Combi-plasma, Relic blade

Elites
*Apothecary

*Company Veterans
**4x Space Marine Veterans w/Chainsword, Plasma gun
**Veteran Sergeant w/Chainsword, Plasma gun

*Venerable Dreadnought w/Missile launcher, Twin lascannon

Dedicated Transport
*Razorback w/Twin lascannon

Company Master rolls with the plasmagun Veterans in the Razorback while Azrael and the Apothecary babysit the Devastators and Dreadnought. Scouts can join Azrael's parking lot, can sit on an objective, or can deny tablespace to would-be deep strikers, depending on the match-up.

>Pred Strategem: 1CP. +1 to hit/wound when targeting vehicles/monsters

These are really damn cool, actually.
>>
>>54446170
The relics are all "Sword +1" or "Armor +1" really. Dreadfully boring.

The Stratagems are 7e copypasta.

Orbital Bombardment or Chapter Master are the best all-around; Orbital Bombardment gives Stormraven lists some more shooting/a workaround for no Snipers. Killshot is ok if you take 3 Preds (well, 4 to avoid alphastrikr). Everything else is shit.

4/10, try harder GW.

So clearly the dakkademptor is pretty good but I would like to highlight that the macro plasma is actually pretty good when overcharged. Its essentially D6 lascannon shots that have an extra AP in exchange for 1.5 average damage per shot. Being able to reroll that D6 for shot amounts can make that fairly reliable, plus it'll still have non trivial anti infantry capability.

Black Templar relic is apparently +3'' to Auras, so a chaplain can be bootleg Grimaldus and your Marshall has a 9'' bubble to his re-roll to hit bubble. Its fine, I think you can also have more than one relic so it might be a good thing to have on an Ancient with the relic Standard.

We're top tier for sure, not the GREATEST OF ALL TIME, but a good list will smash some shits

MANZ are good to shove right up someones ass in a transport to delete a unit, not for much else because they are slow bastards

Best Victory I've had was a game last month, I played a newish Space Wolf guy, and he made the mistake of ignoring my Morkanaut as it walked up on him, instead trying to wipe out as many boyz as he could. Well the fucker caught up with him and it alone killed a Land Raider, ten termies, and almost two dozen tacticals, it also slapped around a rhino to the point where it was useless

Worst loss I've had was against my scion buddy, I went full tilt towards his wall of Tauroxs, only to have all his dude blobs drop in right behind me. So my army was caught between a wall of armor and a bunch of plasma/volleygun armed assholes with nothing but a 5+ invulvn from my mek shields, didn't end well

>I've run the numbers, and even with the way they buff models the effect is negligible
Holy fuck, what the hell? What numbers has he run?
Grimaldus results in a crusader squad doing 208% more hits than they would without him.
The +1S is a massive buff, it makes them do 200% more wounds against stuff like land raiders, 133% more wounds against MEQ and TEQ and 150% more wounds against T5 models. The only time the buff doesn't make them more powerful is stuff like GEQ or models that are anywhere from T6-T7 or greater than T5.
Add helbrecht and grimaldus together and it makes crusader squads into absolute rape machines, making them do 278% more wounds against MEQ and TEQ, 312% more wounds against T5 models like bikes, and 417% more wounds against stuff like knights and land raiders.

So the Inquisition Resurrection novel just came out today.

It's a long series about Thorians vs Horusians that will reveal a lot of the juicy secrets about the Emperor.

So what secrets are they gonna reveal? And what faction makes more sense to to you?

The Thorians want to resurrect the Emperor because he is the only hope for Mankind. The Horusians, as the name implies, are inspired by Horus. They want to recreate a being like Horus who managed to wield the power of Chaos. Through this new Horus/Dark Emperor they would enslave the Chaos Gods and usher a new age of glory for Mankind.

Have we got any points yet? I wanna know if the Redemptor is just mediocre or outright laughable.

The SM stratagems seem really great. Nothing to absurdly powerful, but cheap, flavorful, fluffy and strong enough to both be worth using and have the ability to actually have a potentially serious effect on the outcome of a game.
I'd say GW did really good with them, even if they are repurposed bonuses from last edition for the most part

That'd be a good time! I'd still be down to play, regardless, if you're ever looking to play. Last time I had a game was back in 5th.

>>54446877

2+ save and invuls, cheaper per model, longer range guns.

>>54446897

Its especially good when you consider how you can get more CP as Marines, which really ends up meaning tacticals/intercessors and actually taking fast attack for a brigade.

>>54446915

I gotchu senpai.

Also contemptor mortis have four lascannons so I'll run the numbers for that t b h.

Storm cannon against T7 3+ save: 5.55 damage

Storm cannon against T8/9 3+ save: 3.7 damage

4 contemptor mortis lascannons against T7/T8 3+ save: 6.48

4 contemptor mortis lascannons against T9 3+ save: 4.86

So a lascannon mortis will always beat 1 storm array against any vehicle.

2 storm arrays makes shit get real, 1 storm array 1 grav assfucker will also be tough to beat.

Contemptor Mortis can do all of this from the safety of your deployment zone in cover next to your captain though.

Sure. Leviathans are fucking great but they have to get up in the enemies face to do their stuff. It has no rules for falling back and shooting, so if its got 2 guns its very easy to shut down with a charge.

Are Agressors kinda garbage? I mean, they are cheap and all, but W2 3+ isn't going to impress anyone. Not to mention their conflicting rules:
- Either stand still and shoot twice, or advance and fire your assault guns without penalty.
- Have fists, but inexplicably don't get a pistol gun like the captain has.
Not to mention their ranged at various S4 AP0 D1 is kinda pathetic.

Reivers are good though. With these deployment options they seem like a genuinly useful disruption tool.

If the reiver was standing straight his hands would reach halfway down his thigh, which is normal.

Considering 6 of them is cheaper than 5 normal terminators, I think they're pretty okay. 3 of them can put out 36+6D6 bolter shots if they don't move and they still have a very non-trivial melee threat.

Because marines are not unique, legendary heroes that the Imperium actually care about, they are merely tools used to defend against the threats within and without.

Dark Imperium implies that the extra implants are just the cherry on top of what makes Primaris better than normal marines, which kind of implies a better chaos resistance among them.

>>54447414

The Indomitus crusade has lasted 100 years now, plenty of time to get some dread pilots.

>>54447416

yeah so 12 Str 7 AP -1 D1 24" range no melee

versus

18 Str 5 AP-1 D1 24" range with melee, 2 storm bolters and frag launcher for about the same price.

Even with BS2+ the mortis Kheres will kill 3.33 marines and the BS3+ Redemptor will kill 4 with just its Onslaughts.

If you want to hurt T6/T7 you just take quad autocannons, which is still completely viable.

>>54447356
It will all depends on the point cost. Surprisingly their rules makes them a very flexible unit.

They both give out a lot of anti-infantry fire and are a dangerous melee threat for multiwounds models.

Also they are both good at advancing and still firing and bunkering up in a place and giving out lots of fire (and being basically unassailtable, one unit of 6 that stayed still gives out 24d6 flamers hits).

Now, the big issue with flexible units is that usually they pay for both their roles. If that's the case they are going to be shit. If they are cheap, I can see them being very good against hordes.

2+ save, +1W, +1S, two melta guns, another AP on their power fists, -1A, less bolter shots.

So for every 3 centurions you bring you can get 2.5 aggressors who will bring more firepower per point but lose out on melta guns.

>>54447581

That leg there is inclined at about 30 degrees though, if it were actually straight it would look about normal.

But yeah I really dont think many people would notice the alpha chads arms especially when they're holding their guns anyway.

How do you guys kit your assault muhrines

What happened?
>>
>>54447356
First of all, I'm pretty sure they have 3 Wounds, like the Inceptors.
And with 6PL, I assume about 40 points per Aggressor give or take a bit, so even wound per wound they are pretty cheap considering they're T5, meaning not even supercharged Plasma and Meltas can wound them on 2+. Then that S4 AP0 fire may not be impressive, but for how cheap they are they sure as hell toss out a lot of it. It will probably only work once every other game, but the one time you manage to double-tap the Flamers for 4D6 hits per model is going to put some serious hurt on the enemy and that's not even counting the grenades. The Assault 6 Bolters have the advantage of higher range, meaning they're much more likely to get the double-tap going.

The one problem I do have with them is that they're fairly schizophrenic, what with having only anti-infantry guns but then Power Fists for melee.

I am really scared because i believe it is possible that GW will not squat normal marines and they are going to make weird/autistic excuse of why the imperium will still make both versions of Marines.

Because even though Chaos will have something like a Primaris equivalents they still released new bigger normal marines and 30k is a thing.

Question for all you lore enthusiasts. I'm reading the Ogryn article right, and it lists Khorne-worshipping Ogryns (Vraksian) and Nurgle-worshipping Plague Ogryns. Have there ever been detailed in some piece of lore what the Tzeentchian and Slaneeshi variants would be like?

Null oil will give a clean dark look. Agrax Earthshade will give a grungy but dark look. Athonian Camoshade will give you a sickly green look. If you Aren't sure what you want I'd recommend Agrax. Agrax also works best for shading the bronze so it can save you time.

Ogryns are too stupid worship either god, Slaaneshis would probably be more like slaves pumped up with too many drugs, not too different from Grotesques. Tzeentchians would just be chaff upgraded with magic stuff, probably about to become a spawn-like creature.

Why? Because of the blue glow on the hand? Any idiot can do that. Paint Leadbelcher, then either use Girlyman Blue or thinned-down Soulstone Blue. Boom, done.
The scratches all over the armour are probably done with a tiny sponge dipped in Leadbelcher. Other than that, there's nothing special to this model, and this is coming from someone with two left hands.

What's the fucking point of training in heavy weapons and melee if you're going to end up using a stock bolter?

Tactical -> Devestator OR Assault

They know how to use covering fire, to hit where it hurts and to do melee if needed.
Tacticals use weaker weaponry than Devastators but they're more agile, flexible and experienced.
They're supposed to push objectives, something neither assaults or devs can as efficiently.

Absolutely. I mean, aside from Land Raiders and Mega Nobz, is there anything with a 2+ save that doesn't have an Invul Save? Monoliths maybe. And all of those happen to have so many wounds that your puny D1 weapon won't bother them too much. But hey, at least it doesn't explode anymore, r-right?

Oh I knew he was being a douche, that's why I let him wrap up his turn then conceded and left.

He also tried to argue that a model I deployed right on the deployment line with a 24 inch gun couldn't shoot models he deployed right on the deployment line straight across from them because, and I quote, "Those are exactly 24 inches away, you have to be less than 24 inches away."

"I have the tape right here, it measures 24 base to base."

"Yes but it has to be less than 24 inches away."

So.....how the fuck are you supposed to fight Necrons this edition? They have an anti-anti-armor vehicle that HEALS, units that can revive with no repercussions, cheap costs, good leadership, good weapons, good toughness.

Focusing down one unit at a time doesn't work because it means you're spending ALL of your firepower trying to widdle down a unit which will probably heal up the next turn. Anti-armor doesn't work because they can heal and 99% of anti-armor weapons don't deal enough wounds to knock out enough models.

Mass shooting doesn't work because they can heal and their saves are easy as fuck.

Melee MIGHT work but they're decent in melee and can still heal.

Boy am I ever sick of this. All the fucking Necron players are REEE-ing how shit their army is now and all the people who fight Necrons regularly are REEE-ing how bullshit tough they are.

Hey, if their units keep on reviving models, how about you focus your fire on one unit at a time until it's completely destroyed so it can't heal?
What do you have Split Fire for anyway? Right, so you can avoid overkilling units too badly.

The more the opponent focuses on big mobs of Warriors, the less mobile his army is, so you can just beat them on objectives and give no fucks about their toughness.

No, they're not decent in melee, except for (Over)Lords, Lychguard, Flayed Ones and Praetorians. Warriors are still shit in melee, as are Immortals, as are Deathmarks. Wraiths aren't too scary either, they just happen to be fucking invincible.

Dude list tailoring and hiding reserves is bullshit, but for that he's right. If your deployment is 24" from each other you can't fire a 24" gun without moving turn 1. If the tape shows that you are inside the range then you have deployed wrong.

If you have a 12" deployment zone and your models need to be within your deployment zone, then your model can realistically only ever be 11.9999" away from the board edge, so the no-man's land is actually 24.0000001", so yeah, you can't fire 24" guns turn 1 without moving.

That said, all of this does not excuse your opponent's other bullshit.

Sure, but I'd rather take the hint.
I mean, for 99% of the cases, AP-3 is damn well good enough and AP-5 is overkill. The difference between D1 and D:D3 however is rather massive.

And since Chapter Champions and Captains are both allowed to take a Relic Blade, in my opinion this means that all the models that SHOULD be allowed to take a Relic Blade CAN take a Relic Blade.

Currently I see precisely one model that can make use of the Burning Blade, and that is the Primaris Lieutenant with Power Sword, as to him the BB is just a flat upgrade with no strings attached.

Sometimes when I'm in doubt I try to tell my opponent "i'm putting this here so that i can be in range in case i go first". Then I proceed to move nonetheless and shoot something else. Kek

Someone needs to paint that thing yellow.

>>54449310
If you're just starting out, I'd set admech, Tsons, and maybe dark eldar, aside until you get a bit better at painting (and don't worry, almost everyone's first miniatures aren't great). The other factions are more forgiving, but those 2/3 are tricksy.

>>54449310
Do a mixed Chaos army. It lets you use the TSons, the Khorne stuff, the Daemons and once you've done a fair bit of both and feel somewhat proficient you can start converting some Slaanesh stuff using Chaos parts and Dark Eldar parts. And once you're done with this, you can look into Dark Mechanicus stuff in order to add some AdMech to your mixed Chaos army.

The only thing this doesn't cover is Tyranids, which are fun as a secondary army anyway. You can just bust the bugs out whenever you feel down and need a win.

Nice, no more getting cataracts staring at those grainy pictures, thanks anon.

>All models in the nut may replace their Auto Boltstorm Gauntlet and Fragmentation Grenade Launcher with Flamestorm Gauntlets.
Ohh, you lose the grenades when taking the Flamers. I thought those flamer gauntlets were too good to be true but if you have to give up both guns for them, they're a bit more balanced.

One of these things is rule of cool and the other is generic sci-fi. Let's see which you can identify based on the two criteria mentioned above.

I remember when I was younger and I had only first heard about warhammer, I loved the orks. I just don't think I have it in me now to paint another board army
>>
>>54449672
Right there with you

>>54449679
The point stands that one is wholly separate from the other. Older art fully embraced the rule of cool. Nowadays it's a lot of generic sci fi.

>Admech
As an IMPERIUM faction you can use units from any other IMPERIUM army with admech.
>Tsons, daemons, khorne
All CHAOS units can be used in the same army
>Dark eldar
Ynnari, harlequins, dark eldar and craftworld eldar are all AELDARI and so can be used together.
>Tyranids
Tyranids and Genestealer cults are both TYRANIDS and may therefore be used together. An genestealer cult army may also include Astra Militarum units. Genestealer cult rules also allow for armies to be comrpised partly of GSC, Tyranid and Astra Militarum units.

All of the armies you listed can include units from other army lists. Of those the most distinctly different would be tyranids and astra militarum, which are totally different factions that can only be included in the same army because of the special rules of genestealer cults.
>>
>>54447389
Actually it's because the existing marines can be upgraded to prunaris, so why not just have more better guys
>>
>>54449790
I'm a bit of a purest. If I did khorne, it'd be daemons and world eaters. If I did DE, it'd be space pirates. If I did Admech, it'd be skitarii and CM

Where the fuck is the new thread? OPs absolutely suck at new threads recently.

>>54448379
Some might be, depends on the forge world or mech sect
>>
>>54448903
Are you shooty space marines? If so, you have no hope but aircraft, leviathans or knights to carry the day.

If you are literally anything else just look for your most efficient melee units and spam them. Boyz, Berzerkers, Genestealers, etc. etc. etc. and kill off the warriors in righteous melee.

Kharn+zerker buddies has killed a 20 warrior blob of mine on the charge before, as have stormboyz.

Cult mechanicus does not exist any more. It's just one army list now (as it should have always been).

I'm nominally a purist, but I think ultimately, so long as your army is thematically coherent and looks right together (with matching paint schemes etc) it's honestly fine to use whatever you want so long as it is legal. I mean why shouldn't an adeptus mechanicus army use air vehicles from other imperial armies when they have none of their own?
