Hmm why are people so happy about that?

Would people be rejoicing if all fast attack armies got squatted?

All heavy support?

All elite?

No, yet people who collect flyers are just as much of a hobbyist as you. They like certain things and do others. This isn't like shitting on 'Tau' players where you can generalize easily; flyers are a universal unit, across all armies. By shitting on them, you shit on us all and it cheapens the game.

That's why I'm so disappointed with GW. Its like they regret 6th edition.

Anyway, let's stop here, you're right, I'm wrong. Not the place for it.

>>
>>54485308
Melee is better as they can't be "turned off". But if your opponent is a retard and allows you to fire unhindered for more than a turn or two, the ranged version is ridiculously good. It's just less reliable. It's like choosing between something that does 3 mortal wounds or 2D6 regular wounds, it really depends on the situation even if one looks much better on paper. You should pick the one you think is cooler or helps your army more.

I personally think melee load out is more consistent and what I would pick for tournaments, but for my own personal collection I would go triple gun if I had to glue a permanent load out since it seems more fun and an amusing gimmick.

Precisely, and they took their fucking time showing that regret. Flyers should have never been included in baseline 40k and if you took them against an unsuspecting opponent you proved yourself to be That Guy from the second you finished writing down your army list.

It is perfectly possible, indeed necessary, to generalize Flyer spammers, because if you were truly only interested in the hobby aspect of it, you would only ever play amongst each other. But instead you inflict your nonsense on unsuspecting melee armies and think yourself brilliant tacticians for winning with them. Now your Flyers have been nerfed thrice:
1) Jump units can assault them
2) The To Hit penalty is now just -1 instead of "only on 6+" and
3) Flyers are ignored for tabling purposes
And this is as it should be. Flyers aren't impossible to hit Juggernauts that win wars by themselves, they are support for the ground forces.
So in point of fact, aside from completely removing Flyers from 40k, they did the nicest thing they could and massively nerfed them.

What's your budget
How space efficient and protective does the case have to be
Do you care if the bag or your foam looks like shit

There are three tiers of storage generally. DIY which is cheapest but often ugliest, budget foam which looks ok and isn't too expensive but also isn't as compact or efficient. And finally BF which is very protective and efficient but extremely expensive.

Generally you pay for looks protection and efficiency but if you DIY you can sacrifice looks for low price and do your own custom efficiency level

Repeating question from last thread:

I have Bretonian Men-At-Arms. I wanted to use them for something in my Ministorum / Ordo Hereticus army... I've narrowed my opinions down. I've decided to keep their equipment as-is per warhammer fantasy. I'll 40k them up by putting either brass or sculpted Inquisitorial or Ministorum =][='s on their shields.

The question is... do I:

A) Acolytes and get 12 free wounds for my Inquisitor toting Chain or Power [something] + Pistols

or

B) Crusaders and get 12 storm shield toting fuckers who get acts of faith and are relatively cheap.

A note on B: I have 3 penitent, 10 repentia, 3 death cultist. Wanting to have a fairly melee heavy arm at higher point games.

Opinions on what is functionally the best way to represent these models?

That's bullcrap, flyers have their own weaknesses and benefits, the way they move, the weapon options they have and their general expensivness.

They are no different in style to knights, specialized units that can be made into armies that use just them. So are we gonna have a ruling that says 'Knights don't count towards tabling'.

I'm still tempted by the idea of White Scar rievers (or maybe intercessors) with the assault 2 gun, running about double-tapping stuff. Remember, you don't have to make an advance move FORWARDS.

Actually arc breachers go balls-deep against medium vehicles, S6 and AP-2 is perfect for deleting 90% of non-marine stuff, and it churns through all light vehicles insanely fast. Melee is trash though. Camp a dominus or cawl with them and its fish in a barrel only downside is fucking Tau suits STILL aren't vehicles.

USA and UK should, together, produce good enough counter materials to make them viable as infantry support tanks by the end of the research period. That's assuming we combine the two different research (USA is doing composite materials I think and UK is doing reactive armour which deals with incoming shells... or it might be the other way round).

Mate, 5th edition was ages ago.

We aren't living in that world, get your nostalgia glasses of and realize we live in a world with knights, flyers and big huge units. You not liking them is not a basis to penalize people having fun and using these units as a basis for their army. Again: I don't want these units to be good, I want them to be viable as a force on the table. My current 2k list has around 1500 points of flyers. That means in effect, my opponent needs to focus fire on 500pts and I lose.

How is that fair? How is that justifiable?

They don't count as a unit on the field. So if your army is all flyers and your opponent has one ground unit, they table you turn 1 automatically. Or if you kill the final ground troop and there is only flyers left, you auto win.

what models are actually listed in the index?
>>
>>54485674
Flyers no longer count as units for the purpose of gettting tabled.

So in that infamous list which had 1 captain and 6 marines, he'd lose the game if that captain and marines were killed.
>>
>>54485674
I assume you're talking about this:

Page 215 – Sudden Death
Change point 2 to read:
‘If at the end of any turn after the first battle round, one player has no models on the battlefield, the game ends immediately and their opponent automatically wins a crushing victory. When determining if a player has any units on the battlefield, do not include any units with the Flyer Battlefield Role – these units cannot operate within a combat airspace indefinitely and they cannot hold territory without ground support. Furthermore, do not include any units with the Fortification Battlefield Role unless they have a unit embarked inside – even the most formidable bastion requires a garrison if it is to pose a threat.’

I agree with >>54485568, converting shit out of them is rather useful given the sheer volume of spares in those kits. Personally I'm using them to servitorize some Kairic Acolytes for Electropriests. Some come with staves, which can easily be trimmed down to Electroleech Staves like a Van de Graaf on the end of a pole, some get various Kataphron claws, dual Chordclaws, whatever else looks about right. Big blob of combat servitors smashing through everything, also work for 30k Chainblade Adsecularis.
I also managed to put together a full four Cyber-Occulars, arm a few assorted tank sponsons and armour my Archmagos with just the Kataphron armour and guns.

>>54485639
>125 Electropriests.
Who knows, with some kind of To Wound +1 for ALL THE MORTALS, a Triaros or two and some Ursarax for speed melee Mech might be possible.

>>54485662

Personally I would kill for something almost exactly like pic related, just with Admech iconography and look to fit in with the Dunecrawler. It looks almost exactly like a weaponized Mars Universal Land Engine too, come ON GW. Carry in a full squad of Skits, couple fire points so you can shoot plasma out the sides.

Hey don't diss. The F-35 was a great deal for every country (mainly UK) bar USA. The Eurofighter is arguably one of the best aircraft around. There is a difference between Eurofighter (which was like a bajillion different countries wanting different things) and the UK and USA combining two different defensive technological advancements onto a new platform.

Challenger 2 is probably the most protected tank on the planet, I think it's due for a review in 2040. As for the M1A3 (I think that's what USA is upgrading to) that could use new stuff for the M1A4. At the moment, the best tank on paper is a toss up between K2 Black Panther and the Leopard 2A7.

>>54485860
he's right though, WHFB changed a million times in lore, I know, I was there from 2nd edition. WHFB didn't even have solid lore until 3rd edition. Expecting AoS to have solid lore right now is stupid. Playing in Not!Earth*

I'm talking about the guns, the melee is useless. The only upside is it does provide a little charge discouragement in gunlines, but even that is weak sauce.

Breachers fill the niche of killing stuff between heavy infantry (destroyers) and heavy vehicles (onagers). They combat T5-6 vehicles greatly and can wipe some wounds on TEQs if need be

Torsion cannons are forever ass, though

If that is possible (would need an allies exception in the FW book) you are a fool if you don't include Pic Related, regardless of what rules it ends up getting.
It's considerably more powerful than a Warlord gun, though, so I imagine whatever you point it at will atomize. Also you'd want some Thallax to add lightning cannon with cool eerie screaming sounds according to HH1, and some Rusties.

I wasn't talking about the Challenger. Srry for not remembering the name, but it was a cool tank where the crew would actually be inside the oversized turret or something like that, alongside with powerful suspension. But, like always, people wanted different things, and the documents had to be translated in several languages as well the units from international to bananafeet.
Also, the F-35 is good...but has costed way too much. As in, of course it'd be good if you invest THAT much money. Which wasn't the plan. Not to mention they wanted a single plane to replace the navy, airforce and marine planes (ironic since someone once said "at this rate the three forces will end up having to share the same plane! Air force on odd days, the navy on even days and the marines on February 28th). Currently they're in the "we've invested so much it'd be even more stupid to pull out now" stage, which doesn't mean it won't work ('cept for the navy, which has decreased range), it simply means it costs too much.
Because militaries never know what they really want.
>>
>>54485695

The heavy plasmas are great if they cost the same as the normal incinerators, they're basically lascannons that trade a bit of damage for more AP on a 2W body

Space marines get BUFFS? On top of all those armywide special bonus rules? On top of 26 stratagems? On top of free Relics?

Well, it kinda IS more efficient for the most part, look at Meltavets for the last four editions. That vehicle looks almost exactly right, too. Give it an alternate build that doesn't carry troops but instead sticks a Void Shield or some ablative wounds a la that Phantom Menace Gungan shield on nearby friendly units from a mounted generator, go full Creeping Barrage with shields up.

That's why the F-35 was great for the UK (who were 2nd Tier Investors, the only one) who got first dibs and reduce price, got a great deal for 100 odd F-35's. As for military? Tell me about it. The L85A2 is the gun it should have been day one. If it wasn't for the FAMAS the L85A1 would be the worst modern rifle ever made. It was just dogshit. L85A2 is now cheap and good with great modification options. Sadly nobody wants to buy it now because of the poor rep the L85A1 got.

And yeah, sunk cost fallacy is a problem. You could argue the MIC is fucking cancer for USA. As it is, USA is the only country I can hope will decide to build a new huge battleship and equip it with multiple massive railguns. Nothing better than shore bombardment from over the horizon.

The fuck they are. If we were still in the Age of Formations, the Killshot Formation would probably need a Land Speeder or a Captain or shit like that as tax for the rule. This time you at least only need to units that are actually involved in the maneuver.
Fags like you complain about everything, don't buy or paint or play at all and still find a reason to shit on GW for imagined offenses. Guess what, they are a company, they need to sell their shit. The fact that they're not quite as in-your-face with the selling schemes as they were under Kirby is an improvement that literally anyone but you can see.

Yeah Nihiliakh is cool too cause they're super rich and their scheme is quite cool. It's shit because the special bonus he has (which is move to another guy) is quite shit because you're essentially replacing a character you've paid for. It's kinda pointless. Basic Lords aren't that cheap.

He should have a Girlyman/Celestine tier resurrection.

wow, a saving of zero dollars, thanks GW!

Seriously though, if they're willing to give discounts on the starter boxes, and pretty steep discounts on them at that (the skitarii box is like 40% off i think) why not just offer discounts on formations like this to actually attract buying in bulk, or would that cut them too much?

We will probably live to see the end of the role of tanks.

Armored Personnel Carriers and specialist infantry with drone support will be the future of tactical operations. While advanced GTA or Air/Navel support will annihilate targets from beyond the horizon.

At least High-impact war, kids with AK's will still be the go to for every African warlord probably for centuries to come.

>Or is that the point, get people hooked and then jack up the price?
Precisely.
They know you can't make a competitive army with just what's in the starter sets, so they sell the rest for full and inflated prices. Though some Start Collecting boxes can be bought in bulk, like the Scions box, which has no dead weight aside from the shitty little Commisar and the box is still a nice amount of saving even if you completely disregard him.

Going to grab my first ever model and paint it up. I really enjoy the lore of Imperial Fists and the have a hard on for defending shit.

>>
>>54486670

Primaris Lt has +1A and +1W in exchange for only getting a power sword.

Regular Lt can take other weaponry but only has 3A and 4W.

Just depends on taste really, I think kitting the regular Lt with crazy wargear is a bit overkill.

>>54486736
Plastic glue obviously, and some brushes. Don't be cheap on them, a good brush really helps with painting and does make a diference. Get a white primer, as painting yellow on black is a task you don't want to do. And yellow colours, of course.
Don't forget to get some clippers and a hobby knife.
>>
>>54486747
Kitting him with a jump pack for mobility would be pretty decent, though.

Okay, Nemesis Falchions should be sorted. I also realized there was a slight mistake in the Grandmaster cost-calcs and fixed that.

While I'm at it, I'm also adding cost-calc lines for the use of storm bolters on GM/Brother-Captain/Brotherhood Ancient/Brotherhood Champion/Crowe, and cost-calcs for special weapons on interceptor squads, which I appear to have missed.

>>54486736
>I'm thinking about grabbing a Primaris Captain
Nope. Take the Easy To Build Intercessors. The Captain is loaded with detail that is really hard for a novice to paint around. Get the 3 basic Intercessors, they're much easier to paint (cheaper too).

You also need plastic glue and some paints.

With Imperial Fists you can cheat decently and just spray them White then wash them with Cassandora Yellow, but you can also paint them the real way. At best, watch a tutorial on Warhammer TV.

You should bring ancients since every gk unit has so much melee value. 10 man Strike Squad with Falchions and Hammer Hand for instance can melee down vehicles in one turn. Any multi attack character with a daemon hammer becomes a strong anti tank option.

Flyers can't hold an objective in real life either. You need boots on the ground, because that's the type of fight every 40K fight is about. Just buy a few troops and hide them if you have to, until your flyer support can kill every single other enemy.

Considering it can only transport Primaris, its probably going to only show up with them.

Are we talking Arc Rifles or Heavy Arc Rifles? As far as I can tell, non-heavy Arc Rifles do d3 to vehicles, not d6, unless I'm blind and can't find that change in the FAQ.

Regardless, you'll notice that for weapons like (Heavy) Arc Rifles, I have two separate damage lines; one for vs Vehicles, and one for vs anything else. You can see in these two lines that the columns defining damage are different, and what they are (IE right now Arc Rifle has 0:1 for vs non-Vehicles, indicating a flat damage of 1, while it's 1:3 vs Vehicles, indicating a 1d3).

I could manually alter the numbers dependent on the test dummy (IE on a single damage line modify the effective damage against just vehicles), but the Light/Medium/Heavy vehicles also represent things like monstrous creatures which the arc rifles would not get their bonus damage against, so I just do different lines for it.

Problem is you're paying for, what, 8 other units that can't do shit at that range?
>>
>>54487164
So I just thought about something.

If marines are going to get squatted entirely in favor of chads anyway, why the fuck would GW put in the effort of making an entirely new unit entry for a non-primaris variant of something that only primaris had acces to before ? And considering how easy it is to just kitbash one or use a captain model it's not like GW did it to increase the sale of a certain model. If anything it might actively hurt the sale of primaris lieutenants. So why did they bring regular marine lieutenants back ?
>>
>>54487086
They had plenty problems, but that wasn't among them.

>>54485716

>>54487222
Everything essentially has split-fire in 8th, no?
So as long as there's something within 30" that won't be a problem

>>54486792
The numbers for swords on paladins vs up to medium vehicles are still looking pretty good hmm, could save a lot of points dropping most of the hammers. The difference between falchions and hammers on strike squad justicars also looks like less than 1 damage vs mv. Special weapons seem hard to justify.
>>
>>54487181
Yes.
>>
Why did that Warhammer TV guy get off twitter?
>>
>>54487283
Yeah they do, but the 30" stuff means you either have to move them forward (and waste your sniper shots) or you stay put and don't shoot with them. They're OK for back line objective camping; but they're mired with problems getting closer.

>>54487286

>>
>>54487252
that is something that scare me, i think now GW is thinking about a retarded way to justify the existence of normal marines for at least this edition. Maybe by 9th they are going to seriously think if they are going to squat them or not.
>>
>>54487222
Rangers have 30" range and squads have Split fire now anyways, could still do stuff.
>>
>>54487222
They'll close. The benefit of Mechanicus is that we can deal with threats at extreme range and then our troops and countercharge are very good at close-in brawling. If big bastard enemy units are hitting your lines, you have problems, but if you can keep the truly absurd "Fuck THAT guy in particular" guns going you can just keep popping away at anything close with the Galvanics and other troops.

Sadly they gutted half the fun stuff, but hopefully we'll still get a neat pile of IA14 goodies (please Alpha Primus, PLEASE) and then we'll be back up there.
>>
>>54487252
Because, wonder oh wonder, they don't plan to squat anything. They'd be insane to do so anyway, many marine kits are barely a year or two old, like Deathwatch and BA, while GW will happily sell you you units that are from the mid-late 90s.
Marines will be around for a while still.

Basically they made primaris marines taller, then booted around for a justification, got "What if they've got better genes?"

Then they thought "Shit what if they think we're going to replace regular marines with these guys? Quick, let's make sure they have zero rules overlap with regular marines bedsides the regular bolter guys and the characters"

And that's how we got the current clusterfuck.
>>
>>54487314
I mean 30" is a pretty long distance, unless you're opponents army is nothing but artillery and far away ranged unit something is going to be in range.
>>
>>54487324
>>54487325
See >>54487314 the problem is, if you want them to close so their 8 guys can shoot at 30", you're wasting your 2 sniper shots as it's Fire or Move (unless they changed this). So you either stay put and snipe and thus waste your 30" until somebody comes in range. Or you move forward and not be able to fire your snipers.

If there was a transport that could take 10 or 20 of them, you could move them forward quicker so that 30" will be doable.

Yup, Hammers have a pretty hefty price jump. As far as special weapons, they're a bit funky due to the diverse platforms you can grab them on. By definition, they are going to be more efficient on the cheapest body, but also the squishiest that way. Strike Squads and Interceptor Squads are probably the cheapest place to take them.

>>54487497
Oh. For some reason I thought it was 'can only have 2 if you have 10', you know, 1 per 5 models. So you can have 3 in 10. Plus the 7 others are ablative wounds.

Go to a GW, they'll give you a demo game, a free model and a painting lesson.

Just don't be suckered into reflex buying the starter set: Decide what army you actually want to play first, and bear in mind you can pirate the rulebook here effortlessly so buying a starter set with it's price bloated up by containing a hardback rulebook is a waste.

If you absolutely must buy a two army starter set, Dark Vengeance is much better value due to not having a hardback rulebook in it, and has been reboxed for the new edition.

>>54487389

I mean, 30" is still pretty good, you don't have to waste more than a turn or two before they're all in range of everything and the further away they stay the more time you have to gut their toys with the neutrons and the arquebi and get the Kastelans entrenched and in Shooty Mode. They want to stay at optimal engagement range of half the army to avoid some ranger popguns and Vanguard they're welcome to.

I run two minimum squads, so 10 Rangers and 6 Galvanics/4 Arquebi in total. Really not TOO much of a waste, Devastators don't complain about having to take some Bolter Marines.

Yeah, but the whole point is that they don't move at all. You just deploy them in a ruin or on a roof somewhere and deny a big cake slice of the board to the enemy characters, or you gun them down. Same with the Kastelans, although they move once to get a decent angle before engaging Protector. Dunecrawlers can just stalk forward behind the infantry, they're Relentless.

Give it a decade or two, the big drones can already tell the difference between a human carrying a gun and an unarmed one. Once that degree of intelligence can be put into something disposable with a grenade's worth of HE strapped to it, and released in swarms out of a mothership, asymetric warfare is going to go out of fashion really quick.

>Strike Squads and Interceptor Squads are probably the cheapest place to take them.

Storm Bolter + Falchions combined on Strike Squad seems to be equal or better on most targets. Psilencer might be ok because its cheap but its short range for a heavy weapon. That looks like a lot of melee damage to give up for those numbers hitting on 4s when you move or teleport.

Only if you want your T3/4+ infantry footslogging 1-3" towards the enemy per turn with their 18" guns. Otherwise they're firing their heavy weapons at BS -1 like everything else.

>>54487703
You know, I seem to remember seeing something like that in a scifi book.

I also liked the idea of Hostage Gas - toxin that's fatal in around a week unless you receive an antidote, offered only in urban areas presumably under the conventional forces control. Congregate or die. In that book it was circumvented by the fact that the uplifted to sentience and engineered neo-chimps (a common practice in the setting, Galactic civilization is based upon it) were both not affected deliberately and considerably smarter than the invaders thought they were, so they led the insurrection instead. We only have the one sentient species here, so if you are callous enough to not mind the high unintended casualty rate it's rather more feasible.

Can't see them making a comeback, at least (openly) for democratic forces. All it'd take is a bunch of poisoned kids to be wheeled out with claims they were denied the antidote/it didn't work and you'd lose all public support/be charged with war crimes.

There are easier ways to round people up as a COIN tactic. Brits used concentration camps effectively in Malaya, just rounded people up at gunpoint, stuck them in trucks and kept them in isolated prison camps for the rest of the operation to deny the gommunists a civilian population to hide in.

Then again, chemical and radiation tech and has a massive PR problem attached to them even when their effects are probably less deadly than a lot of conventional weapons.

Not just talking about weapons, either. It's the same with nuclear power, people are unrealistically scared of it because of nuclear WEAPONS when so far it has proven considerably safer than coal and oil. The mining has a higher casualty rate, but the actual power generation and disasters have killed far less per number of workers AND kWh generated. There was a Japanese chap who said something along the lines of "Radiation doesn't hurt those people who are smiling" and he wasn't entirely wrong. People were more irradiated on the airplane flight away from Tokyo than if they had stayed through Fukushima.

Matched play rules only let you use the same stratagem once per phase. You can use any number of different stratagems in the same phase, or the same stratagem multiple times per turn if it can be used in different phases (like the command re-roll) and so on.

well, lets start with not giving powerswords to units that have no place in meele combat like devastators.
Then you want to make shure all members of your devastator squad can actually shoot something and when you take lascanons you want to use the long range to keep them save wich meens the heavy bolters wont have targets most of the time.
You should read the rules on tactical squads and special weapons agin as yours are illegal (too few models and too many special weapons on min squads).
Assault marines arent that good at the moment and they are horendously bad if you overkit them the way you did (too expensive)
What Chapter tactics are you going for and wich strategems are you banking on. it might give us more information on how you want to play this.

He has no deployment options while Reivers should always be using grappling hooks or grav-chutes. So unless you plan on buying a Repulsor for them I see no sensible way to actually make use of him that isn't very wasteful.

Hellblasters are good, but lack the ability to mow down massed infantry.
>>
>>54488174

primaris statline with 2+ save, power weapons and can take wounds for your commander on a 2+. Solid as fuck unit and help a lot with counter charging in a primaris list.
>>
>>54488158
their primary weakness is being limited to only two figures
>>
>>54488174
26 points for a dude with 2W, 2+ save, bolt pistol, boltgun, power axe

theyre basically 2+ save primaris that beat your face with axes
>>
>>54488211
I say £60 and 300 points in game.

>Reivers are just as good at blocking
No? they're more expensive than tactical marines. You need cheap models for blockers, unless you're okay with throwing away a squad of 18ppm guys to speedbump 10ppm genestealers.
>>
>>54488229

>Hellblasters are good, but lack the ability to mow down massed infantry.

This is fair but that's what redemptors (or really just dreads in general), aggressors and repulsors are really good at.
>>
>>54488256
Aren't genestealers 15ppm now since FAQ?
>>
>>54488256

you get more MEQ wounds per point in a reiver/intercessor squad than a tactical squad, they're far better plain meat shields than plain bolter marines.

As long as you have vehicles in your list, throwing D2 shots at intercessors is the dumbest thing your opponent can do usually.

Are they still two per unit in the codex ? I'm pretty upset my unit of 10 honourguard are now 6 sperate units ...
>>
>>54488271
Ah you're right, I missed that because they only text-colored the cost, not the whole line. That's fair.

Hive Fleet Stealers are still only 12 though.

wow youre right, that must have pissed some people really hard

makes no sense cause the calgar box with honour guard has three of them + banner dude

Into the purchase list they go. Jesus christ.

>>54488256
Sounds reasonable.

>>54488256
You need to consider the general adaptability required of Marine units, even if they are screening. Like using an Ironclad dwarf line to prevent zombie hording in KoW. A screen is good. A screen that kicks the shit out of the enemy that attacks it is better.

>>54488263
The only reason I would lean away from the dread for mass infantry shooting is the fact that it can't get into hard to reach areas like rooftops etc. I was going to grab a contemptor at least, but the redemptors big assault cannon-thing looks pretty good.

I'm a bit miffed Astorath and Lemartes can't really be used together as Lemartes bonus is cancelled by Astoraths. Well, not cancelled, but double re-roll.

Literally nothing will ever kick the shit out of genestealers on the charge unless it's overwatching with a ton of flamers. Whatever they hit just dies including Imperial Knights and Primarchs. You put the cheapest shittiest thing you can in their path to buy more time.

>I mean, yeah, but I can't see releasing a horde of suicide bots with their own AI going down too well either.

Literally just a smart weapon, no rules of war against them and they sell well with the public due to low collateral damage compared to dropping a 500lb JDAM on something.

The next-gen drones can already autonomously fly to a target area, identify targets themselves and move into position to engage them. You just have an NCO behind a desk 200km away sip him coffee and sign off on the weapon's targets as viable, press 'return' and they fly in and kill them before returning to their point of origin.

Next step is to just make them smaller and expendable and anyone going for a walk with their AK near security forces is in the shit.

But yeah, I think the main aversion to chemical weapons is that it sets a dangerous precedent. Even the 'media friendly' ideas for using chemical warfare, like dumping CS gas all over an area of engagement to incapacitate insurgents, just opens you up to black propaganda from the enemy claiming it wasn't CS and you actually used a nerve agent or something, "look at all these poisoned kids", "muh mosque is covered in sarin and can't worship" etc etc.

Hard to prove that those chemical clouds weren't lethal in a way that people won't claim a cover-up over.

Then when Lunatic Despot #12542 uses mustard gas or something, he'll point at NATO and go 'well THEY use chemical weapons!'. It's avoiding setting yourself up for a 'thin end of the wedge' scenario I guess.

Unless you have enormous roofed terrain on your table, removing 5 dudes from cover with a dreads firepower isnt unreasonable.

The better question is to ask when should you take the double lascannons instead of the predator autocannon

and the answer is essentially never.

You're going to be lucky to get half of your genestealers into combat for a variety of reasons. I have very much failed to kill 10 MEQ wounds in one charge due to turn 1 shooting and just plain being out of range with the back end of my genestealer blob.

Swapped the Lascannons for Plasma, as they are the same range as Heavy Bolters. I was under the impression that Lascannons are too, guess I was wrong there. The idea with the powersword was basically just that he has no weapon that can be in range of HBs or Plasma anyway, so maybe give him something so he's not just a sitting duck if something comes too close. Guess I could swap it for something else, maybe the Combi-Flamer, for overwatch purposes?
Gotta admit, my first time with Battlescribe. It's a ten-man squad and two five-man squads, one special and heavy weapon on the 10 men, one special on the 5.
So, Chainswords only and other weapons on the sergeant only then?
For the Chapter tactics, I'd say Black Templars make sense. I basically want to get my Assault Squads of all kinds get into melee quick, and have the Tacticals grab objectives. Meanwhile, Devastators and the Predator sit in the back and apply pressure.

That's just you playing badly, son. There are so many ways to avoid both of those problems I really don't know what to tell you. Genestealers have like 3 different ways to come in from Reserves and move up to point-blank before charging.

Well, I guess these things have always been a tad janky, and yeah, it's less lethal than a fuckheug bomb but given the sometimes patchy recognition systems of current robots that seems like it's begging for a bunch of blurry positives the desk guy goes "all right then" on and blows up some kid carrying a bundle of sticks or something. Whatever, not even CLOSE to my field, I do creatures and ways to fuck with them to the benefit of humanity. Chemical weapons seem rather better for the "population control" thing to me, but that is mostly because you can pinpoint and finetune accident rates and slap known error bars on them, and once the weapon is okayed they haven't got much of a reason to bitch unless you ACTUALLY fucked up

The PR problem actually does come up in the book where the Hostage Gas was used, the enemy force of avian aliens are ruled by a triumvirate, so the military leader and the bureaucrat were happy at low cost solutions and the priest/politician was pissed that the humans putting up resistance according to the rules of war, excess Coercion Gas deaths and a few other things meant they were rapidly losing politicial points.

This meant they started scouring the planet based on a couple planted clues that there was illegal Uplift occurring, which would give them justification for their invasion. That was meant to just waste their resources sending expeditions into the mountains and allow the chimp irregulars to take cheap shots at them, but it turns out that there actually WAS illegal Uplift going on without the knowledge of the ET ambassador that planted the clues to fuck with the invaders. Of gorillas, so the entire first third of the long book is an excuse to make the Gorilla/Guerilla Warfare pun. Then it all snowballs into a giant clusterfuck.

Rather good series actually, although the second trilogy was worse than the first. Jacob Demwa is perhaps the best "Mentally fucked protagonist" I've seen in a while, and the universe is sweet.

I disagree entirely. Autocannon is great, but quad-las pred is amazing if you want to hunt monsters or tanks. Especially with the stratagem, since it means you essentialy have 4 S16 lascannons per pred

I actually think Sicarius gets lost right after that, when he's sent back to Macragge to help defend it unless I'm mistaken with my reading here.
>>
>>54488958
Especially since that if you factor in relative BS it's literally a +6S Neutron Laser that is worse at every other category. Hits less, less AP, same damage, and +6S is only helping to wound vehicles on 2+ instead of 3+.

Does 3.88 wounds to a T8 4+ vehicle with no other save (which I'm not sure actually exists, but is the platform that is optimal to shoot with it over the Neutron.

Neutron Laser does 3.55 wounds, without any reroll buffs. With a R1 it outdamages it at 4.14, and if the vehicle has for instance a Repulsor statline at T8 3+ the MacroDick is reduced to 3.23.

The massive Lord of Fortification's main gun is outdamaged in all AV situations bar T6-8 Sv4+ or lower by a 151pt Skitarii HS choice.
