Rokkit pistols have a niche use if you're going to dump the Tankbustas behind enemy lines with Da Jump to try and alpha-strike something big. The extra shots can be a big deal.

A full unit of Tankbustas unloading on a vehicle ends up with 18 shots hitting on 5+ and 6 shots hitting on 2+, all rerolling misses against vehicles.

I've killed knights turn 1 with this. Granted my opponents had shit rolls for their saves.

What army do you play?
>>
The Omnissiah Protects. Except he doesn't at the moment, because Shroudpsalm (the only worthwhile Canticle, because it turns our shitty Scions into shitty SOB) is completely ignored by Imperial Fists.

The fuck thought the new Mech rules were a good idea? Reroll One canticle should be a flat +1 To Hit, and the others need jigging round a bit. I'd make Shroudpsalm a -1 To Hit given it's a one turn buff and only has a 33% chance to roll even with Cawl on subsequent turns.

I prefer it on quad lascannons personally. They can each fire at a different target, and hitting and wounding on a 2+ vs most every monster and vehicle in the game is extremely good. I found sitting a primaris lieutenant next to them to give them the re-roll 1s to wound is especially great, it makes them able to take out a land raider and a rhino in one turn, which is fucking awesome.
I haven't tried it on the autocannon pred yet, I'll have to do that next time.

Also, RAW it applies to the FW preds right?
>>
>>54468060
Yeah. Girlyman and three fucking Flyers. The fact that Beardie didn't just up and leave was the real heroic deed about that game.
>>
>>54468044
the pistols also have lower strength and damage most of the time. they are only better than rokkits against very light vehicles (like land speeders and trukks), even against rhino-chassis targets they tie rokkits in damage output while having half the range

Guys, I need your help. My local gamestore is having a conversion and painting contest. We need to buy, build and paint a new HQ for the fate of konor stuff but as a bit of fun it cant be a model that already exists (although we could for example make Logan Grimnar as long as we convert bits to make him).

I'm currently building a Dark Angel army and need some ideas to build like a dreadnaught, Azreal or something else that I can build for it, anyone have any ideas? I'm drawing on blanks other than something like pic related.
>>

What do you mean black templars chaplain, grimaldus?
>>
>>54468230
thats because they are useful
>>
>>54468230
No need for that. Shades are so awesome they don't need to be a meme. Even the painting tutorial fags who will try everything to avoid Citadel paints end up using at least one Citadel Shade. Especially the Gloss Shades, which are cheating when you're working with metallics.

Hmm

If a Black Templar manifested psychic powers after recruitment, missing the screening for it, could he flee to the deathwatch?

If so, would he be forced to be a blackshield or would he keep his shoulderpad.

Ok /tg/, help me pick weapons for my Deathwatch Vets from less known Chapters. The army is not a competitive one, merely a pet project, so I'm picking weapons based on what Chapter the Marines are from (power sword for the Black Templar, combi-flamer for the Salamander, etc) rather than efficiency.

So lorefags and black libraryfags, tell me what weapons fit these Chapters:
>mentors
>brazen claws
>howling griffons
>silver skulls
>minotaurs
>flesh tearers
>>
>>54468046
Yes, specifically an upper-class Midwestern accent.

I'm not shitting on them holy fuck. They are great for certain uses, just like ANY paint. But that is not what I am saying.

Go read the old How To Paint Citadel Miniatures book. Now go read the new one. Notice a different in the content of each book?

It's not at all unreasonable, something very similar happened with Typhus before the Heresy when the Death Guard were a psyker hating legion.
Though in his case he just suppressed his powers.

Still if he were to join the Deathwatch he'd probably do so as a Black Shield, so you wouldn't be able to tell he was a Templar.

As a mental psychologist an autist will often overemote on most things because they do not process emotion like other people, and thus assume other people emote in the same way.

Makes sense. AM are one of the older codexes, are in need of a rework in some places (scions being brought down just a tad bit in power, conscripts getting some form of nerf, some tanks being brought up in power), and are one of the more popular armies with players and the writers.
Ad mech are in desperate need of some buffs and some more flavorful rules and seem to be one of the more popular armies. That would also round out all the major imperium factions (excluding the other flavors of power armor, because the last thing we need is all of them getting rules first, and I say this as a marine player, and of course sisters and other imperial agents because Lol meme armies)

Definitely going Missile Silo next time. I think between all four HeavyBs and the cannon it did 8 wounds all game.
STOOD TALL THOUGH. 8 LASCANNONS A TURN DONT MEAN SHIT.
Funny highlights include a first turn Helldrake rush resulting in ONE Baleflamer hit that was rerolled into a ONE, which failed to wound the Guardsmen with a ONE and then failed its charge with double ONE
>>
>>54469273
While your certainly right that screens will definitely hamper WS, I think you might be over estimating how effective they are. Company vets on bikes are great not just because they're really fast and really good in melee, but also because they can put out a fuck load of shots for rather cheap. They have a twin boltgun on their bike, plus they can be run with a melee weapon+ combi or special weapon. That means that they can do quite a bit of damage to your screen then charge the nice meaty stuff behind it.
>>
>>54469434
I always forget the Tau exist. They're pretty cool i guess but it probably has something to do with them having basically no immediate relevance to the most important parts of the fluff (chaos and shit). Seems to me there's only so much fun to be had from doing nothing but sitting back and mowing people down from half way across the board turn after turn, too.
That said it could just be through a fluke that none of the people i play against regularly are tau players.

I've never touched the Space Wolves, but just judging from their badass fluff and cool lookin' dudes i can totally understand why they're popular. Same goes for the other special astartes factions too i suppose.

There will most certainly be a strategem called the Kingslayer, named after the death of the last Raven Guard chapter master Whatshisname. Basically, you can deep strike any giant robot. Also, on the turn it deep strikes, all of its wounds count as mortal wounds.

Coming off of 6th edition 40K Warmahordes had a lot of appeal for me.

Melee ranges per model, broader unit coherency, burning resources to manipulate yoru dice pool... all of that is pretty cool and makes for an interesting game interaction.

The setting sucks so much ass though, and every game boils down to both armies running up turn 1 and then every turn afterwards is playing chicken to avoid an irrecoverable alpha strike.

2D terrain is better than wobbly models, I think.

I pray for the day I get this kind of enjoyment from a seize. Right now, I'm only like that for really wild stuff, like the time 3 terminators with 2 power fists and a chainfist charged my (7E) Chimera and Missed 7 times. Oh, and then all ones for the remaining hits.

If you think I'm crazy lucky though, that same terminator squad in the very next game managed to turn-one KO that same Chimera to death with just an assault cannon from the front. That had me on the metaphorical floor as well.
>>
>>54469471
it depends on the power armor

this is a difficult subject because it's one of those areas where the lore is all over the fucking place. some power armor is plasteel, especially heresy era stuff like corvus that uses magnets (those studs on old power armor) and some is ceramite. plasteel is presumably metallic colored, while ceramite is grayish-white.

the problems start when you have different sources saying different shit like which power armor is which material, nevermind the fact that a lot of power armor is mismatched parts. for me a good rule of thumb would be just pick whichever you like best but make sure the older marks that say they are plasteel are metallic colored, especially on pieces that have magnetic studs.

Troops in 40k have often been regarded as a tax. You take them only because the FoC forces you to.

They die to pretty much anything and usually can only kill other troops. They're ball pit tier.

Not sure if that holds for 8th , and obviously it's not going to be true for everyone; but these are the reasons people don't like troops.

Why are you even talking about old editions when 8th is a completely different game? No one cares about outdated irrelevant information.

If you'd played 8th yet you would know Troops are the core of almost all the best lists, outside of cheese spam lists that will soon be banned or indirectly nerfed.

It's way cheaper and fills out a Troops slot, which means easier to get more Command Points, has ObSec, and more bodies for cost.

Tacticals are cheaper per bolt shot.

Tacticals can take special weapons and the boltgun guys act as ablative wounds for them.

gk are fun if you want a low-model count army where every model must be relevant for your plan. the focus is on terminators with supporting power armor units and walkers (dreadnought, dreadknight). Most units are psykers and can deep strike via teleport, and they also have access to in-game teleport moves via psychic powers or shunt moves. Most fun is had against demon since they get a number of bonuses.
>>
>>54470167

Well that's the point, they ain't that bad for the point cost.
Low cost, low threat units also make a point in games. Not only as >>54470205 mentions, but also by contributing to the larger piece of the puzzle.
I have had survivors of 2 guys wreck knights. I have had lone survivors take down the enemy HQ. I have had a full squad take part in the later parts of the fight, when my enemy and I thought our list drained from units, only to have a numerous advantage.

If you actually played this game, you would know this to. Sadly, there are way to many mathHammer experts on /tg/ to get this point across.

A lot of people are doing it now. I have a theory that I can trick a Tau player into a VERY bad spot by leaving a 2.5" wide "Blind spot" in my backfield near some tanks: Too small for 2 commanders but juuust large enough for 1. He drops, he shoots, does 4 shots>3 hits>2 wounds>~7 damage to a C-Russ...and then the Command Russ gets repaired back to a 3+ BS by a techpriest and I kill the suit with the veteran plasma before it can jump away.

It's funny how many Tau commanders still think deep striking behind a tank is a good idea, when said tank no longer has any "weak spots". Though on that note, I still think the Leman Russ should be T10/7/6 or something instead of homogeneous T8.

Yep. GW definitely featured him in the recent Dark Imperium novel just because. They mentioned him coming in the Gathering Storm books and then doubled down and confirmed that all of the hints in Gathering Storm were for future 8th ed releases for no reason. They definitely hate money and don't want to charge obscene amounts for a bigass 3-figure daemon primarch for all the release-starved Slaanesh players out there.

Khorne being a one-dimensional boring shit god has definitely stopped them from releasing a bunch of red and angry lmao big models in the past, because again, they hate money.

You're totally right anon. It's just going to be Death Guard and Space Marine releases from here on out until the end of time, like every edition before it that focussed exclusively on the armies in the starter set, instead of getting them out of the way first and then ignoring them for 4 years.

yeah, I don't get this.
I wouldn't have minded rules to simulate a flanking advantage. Something like "If a straight line can be drawn between the attacking model and a friendly model who shoots the same target this turn, and that line intersects the base of the target, both shooting units get +1 to hit or some shit"

No, Kirby squatted him in AoS, then Rountree took over, now AoS lore is constantly building up to him coming back, which will coincide with the release of new Slaanesh daemons, which they'll do very close to the release of the Emperor's Children in 40k, which is only delayed because they have a couple other Primarchs they planned to do first.

If we were getting new models for either GK or CSM we would have seen previews and teases of them already, because Death Guard come out AFTER those two Codexes and are the ones that have been teased up til now.

The next army to get new models with their Codex will probably be two books after Death Guard.

I'm expecting Tyranids as book 5 with no new models and then book 6 will be either Guard with new releases or Orks with new releases.

The novel Fulgrim went through two rewrites. The suits said that the novel should be toned down with the depravity because it might make GW "look bad". When McNeill presented the first rewrite, he was asked again to tone it down. When he presented the second, someone with some balls said to print the first novel because the book was the most faithful to Slaanesh and that nobody will get their knickers in a bunch over it. And then the balls-dude said that on the off chance if anyone actually did get uppity, to just ignore them.

Anyone worried about Slaanesh being "squatted" is retarded and probably a newfag wanting to fit in with the usual doom-and-gloom of /tg/.

In my opinion, all armies are going to be scaled up. They found the primaris excuse but DG are getting straight scaled up with the only excuse of them being large on their own. Custodes are big as well, as expected, but what about Sisters of silence? They are using a large base and are a head taller than SoB

They're scaling up all the Marines, and probably Orks too. They're not scaling up Guard or any of those because that defeats the point of making bigger Marines.

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate tau any more than I already did, yet here I am. My hatred grows.
>>
Played a game with the special modifier of pic related. Had a melee weapon only Knight carve its way through my Necrons and my opponents Ork Dred Mob. It waded through and killed a deff dread, 9 boyz, and took half the wounds off of a Gorkanaut and killed my entire squad of Triarch Praetorians, one of my lords, and stepped on my Triarch Stalker before it finally died to a combined volley from 2 Grotzookaz and melee rape from my Lychguard. It was fun trying to decide if I needed to gun down the orkz or drive back the Knight that was threatening my Warrior formation. It had its own unique phase, we rolled a scatter dice and 1d6 for its movement. If we rolled the direct hit it stayed but gained an extra attack for the next time it fought. And if it was in charging range we rolled 1d3 on a result of 1 it charged the nearest unit on a result of 2 it charged the nearest unit of the player that lost a roll off and on a result of 3 it charged the other players closest unit, not the closest one to its current position. Finally we let it move the highest number on the charge roll towards where it was going to charge anyway.

It was a great addition to an already fun game and I will definitely start suggesting it for games in the future

What do people think of this ruling?
Is this the kind of thing that people are doing to fill Force Orgs now? Like, just bring 6 individual Cultists to qualify for Brigade, or some shit?
Feels like it makes it incredibly easy to meet ForceOrgs of whatever kind, which isn't necessarily bad, but if you happen to get a kill point related mission, you'll be in a bit of trouble giving away so many basically free points.
Are people mostly cool with this decision, or do they hate it or what?

Don't expect that to work long, people learn. Tau melta is 18", which means you can drop within 9" unless you pull some homing beacon fuckery. As soon as you realize that there isn't much reason to actually drop anywhere near your target. Burstmanders are 18" as well, so playing around that range is going to be much more relevant.

Given that Commanders are the best unit Tau have people are going to proxy their Crisis suits as them until the codex drop inevitably nerfs it, so you're going to see a shitton of commanders all coming down at once - like, 3-5 quad fusion and 3-5 ATS+Burst - for a massive alpha strike that just deletes a significant portion of your army. The downside to this kind of list is that you need to take a ton of min size Fire Warrior and Pathfinder teams to pad out the number of units in the army to allow that many deploy-from-reserve actions, which in turn all but guarantees Tau loses first turn.

Given how significant the changes in the SM codex were from their index, though, I don't expect this strategy to survive past Tau's codex. Tau internal balance is a bit of a mess with most of the mainstays being honestly garbage and a few really weird things like drone spam and commander spam having outrageous efficiency.

>>
>>54470902
you can only do it for once for any specific unit. for tournaments like nova, they make you take it in an aux detachment, which counts against the 3 detachment limit, so i imagine that's going to be a standard.

for friendly games, abusing it is pretty "that guy" but besides takes a bunch of rando elysian plasmas across each type of squad or taking a hades drill without support dudes, it's a bit limited.

It does let you get cheaper troop slots, but troop slots are kind of bad and don't need to be taken anyways.
>>
>>54470902
Understrength is for if you don't have the minis (on hand).
You couldn't do 6 separate cultists as units of 1, you'd have to put all 6 as a singke understrength unit of 6.

It'll be pretty obvious when somone is trying to abuse it and no one will let it fly.

I meant to type *can't drop within 9" whoops. Entire point of what I was going for there. Basically, you don't really need the melta range, and since fusion guns have an extra 6" of max range you may as well use that to the fullest to get more guys and guns on target while staying outside the charge threat range of a lot of stuff.

well, that's what the other half of it is for. ats+burst commanders shred the chaff, and you don't necessarily have to drop all the suits in at once.

the FW double heavy burst cannon hammerheads also seem like a good way to deal with chaff/horde threats like that, and then you can just pocket your melta drop until it's clear. granted, they don't sell the upgrade bits for that anymore, so it's kind of a pain in the ass to field it

that's fair. it's good that there's some counterplay. that said, it's such an efficient unit that unless you're up against the hordiest of hordes they can win most of their points back in one shooting turn anyway. it's kind of the biggest problem with it - if you get the whole drop off, not only did they win their points back but you did so much damage they're gonna have a hard time actually punishing your overextended commanders. even if you don't do it all at once, you can afford to trade them because they're so cost efficient that you'll probably win the attrition anyway.

the real problem is just that they invalidate even taking crisis suits for the most part, and that's obviously not acceptable. i'd expect crisis cost to go down a teensy bit and commander cost to go up fair amount in the codex to make it more reasonable.

I play Necrons and have actual fun.
They're not the cancer they were in 7th, but I still find them cool to play what with the 6th-ish reanimation back.

People tell me they suck now though and I'm not enough of a knowhow to dispute them.

Are you saying SM players don't?

first of all, citation needed. secondly, how big is this inner fanbase and why should their input matter?

>Tfw Relic is so fucking incompetent they couldn't fucking make DoW3 good, let alone fix Space Marine's MP problems before abandoning it.

Space Marine MP was fucking god like and they just let it die, only to shit on the DoW series, and further ruin the chance of a new Space Marine title. God damn you Relic you hacks.

Take a bigger unit of windriders or none at all

Drop star engines, serpent is fast enough.

Singing Spears are pretty average for 7 points

I don't think you need that warlock unless you're taking a bunch more bikes.

You really could do with some cc units, your list might get bogged down quick.

You might also need some more anti tank, but I'm not sure. You might be okay

What were the MP issues with Space Marine apart from low player count and DLC splitting the playerbase?

Striking Scorpions are CC.

If you're using the guardians to hold the back line on objectives I feel like Dark Reapers might be better. (your call)

If they're hopping out of a wave serpent the Guardians should use a Shuriken Cannon instead.

Star Engines aren't worth it.
Spirit stones are debatable
Vector Engines are okay.

Singing Spear is almost never worth it for +7 points over a witchblade. I regret modelling my bikeseer with a spear on most days.

3x Windriders is almost useless.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm preliminarily dropping all the star engines and getting another windrider. Trying to think of more places to squeeze points. Dropping the singing spears and something else might be an option, but I'm figuring they're good for jetbiked seers since I'm not hoping for them to get charged in the first place?

I'm hoping the fire dragons, bright lances, missile and (in a pinch) d-scythes would work but if not I could maybe retool one of the non-BL wave serpents. Thoughts?

CC is a v good call, but I'm at a loss how to fix it.. I could switch all the jetbike tax over to banshees or somesuch, but wouldn't that leave me at a loss for stuff to score with?

Thanks for the feedback again! Hope I'm making sense.
