Hey Archons, how do your Kabals feel about our Craftworld cousins? Hate them? Or just mildly dislike them?

Personally, my Kabal is sort of lukewarm on the subject. Reunification of our races would be nice, but Craftworlders REALLY gotta get off their high horse. They totally kill your buzz.

DE player since 5th Ed here, and I think you're a bit to hostile my dude. The only comp deldar build floating around rn is pick related, which was recently neutered (thank god).

If you get on the Dark Eldar train, it's probably not because you're a WAAC, so even if there are new players running around, all the better. No reason to push people off something you both enjoy.

Asked this in a previous thread, and the replies agreed with me that there probably isn't much of a reason to take an Interrogator-Chaplain with Deathwing in lieu of Belial (who is just brutal at only 150 pts.).

If you were gonna run a TDA IC, how might you attempt it?
I could see running him in a list with maybe two units of Deathwing Knights, but that's a FUCK LOAD of points.

Please Advise.

>>54501381

In what way? The Orbital Bombardment seems like hot garbage, to be honest, but it at least seems like hot garbage designed to kill elite duders. It seems a huge waste against big mobs of infantry. I can see Sternguard with Masterful Marksmanship making a decent dent in Conscript hordes though, hitting on 3s rerolling for Robooty and killing outright on 2s with no saves is pretty thavage.

Space marines are a suspicious bunch considering half of them betrayed the emporer. I doubt they would get rid of loyalist gene seed in favor of brand new gene seed that couple potentially have corruption in it.

Primaris don't use traitor geneseed. Those joining existing chapters use the geneseed of that chapter's Primarch.

Cawl wants to use traitor/lost Primarch geneseed to boost production, Guilliman veto'd it. Probably still gonna do it, but it's not like all the Primaris seed is traitor.

And how are oldmarines not obsolete? Primaris are better in every way, they don't even have a deficit in experience anymore since most of them are 100+ years old now and have seen fighting more ferocious than anything since the Heresy due to being at the front of the Indomitus Crusade.

The book ends with him recognising he's basically become his father; fucking over his son's and pretending to love them to save the species.

He has no sympathy for the traitor primarchs, he understands why the Emperor didn't love his creations, just as he doesn't love "his" Primaris.
>>
>>54501381
No? Conscripts are literally the thing the Bombardment is WORST against. It deals a fixed number of Mortal Wounds to each *unit* in its range, no matter how big the unit is. So a 50-strong unit takes as much damage as a 3-strong unit. So pointing the bombardment at multiple small units is infinitely more effective than pointint it at a big blob, aka Conscripts.

I'm not sure if I'm misreading it but the Orbital Bombardment I'm looking at is a D6" radius AoE that deals D3 Mortal Wounds on a 4+, with a -1 to that if it's a character. So you'd need an average of 6 Orbital Bombardments to kill 1 Commissar, which doesn't seem terrible efficient.

you use it to oneshot the commisar and attached officer if possible
now your opponent has a 2CP pointsink each turn and their effectiveness has been halved due to losing FRFSF (and if you charge them they can't even fall back and shoot same turn either)

How powerful are spehs marines without their wargear /40kg/?

He felt like shit when the Emperor said "I don't love you and never did, get over it" and he understood why this caused the traitor primarchs to rebel. So then he goes and repeats the same exact behavior that led to the rebellion in the first place.

Lmao.

What's even funnier is that some Ultramarines were actually a little disappointed after they got to know Girlyman. because he wasn't the infallible, omniscient God daddy they read about in carefully-selected (biased) remembrancer texts and legends.

Grimnar will probably think Russ as a lout and won't feel much respect for him.

C. he didnt focus fire to eliminate a specific unit each turn
D. he didn't seek close combat (after softening enemy units with ranged fire) even though it was his priority goal
E. even when breaking the morale of a unit was his goal, he kept firing his lascannons at vehicles instead of inflicting additional casualties to push the enemy over the goalline

not him but... you drop 10 Tactical Termies in front of one unit and then add some long range firepower on top of it. if you're lucky the termies can charge another unit. never rely on morale tests to wipe necron units out, the enemy will just spend 2 CP and regenerate.

focus on one flank of the necron army and eliminate it. burn it down to the ground.

Sure if you spread them out over several turns, but when doing them in one turn, the Apothecary doesn't have a chance to heal him, so he only has a 6+ FnP with possibly a second 6+ FnP from the Warlord Trait to save him. Or do you mean with the Shield Eternal? Because odd numbers of Mortal Wounds can still fuck that thing over.

It takes 80 S4 shots or 60 S5, etc. etc., if you get just a touch of AP it's easy as hell. No matter what army you play, it's easy as hell to mass S4/5 fire.

I play mostly GK, and it only takes 15 strike marines to wipe a 20-man blob, and that's without psychic bubbles or buffs.

The thing I almost always take- a pair of assault razorbacks with 6 interceptors in them- takes them out with ease. So yeah, it's pretty easy.

While it is obvious that he'll have at least 1 fucking option in the proper release, I hate GW's current attitude of only making rules for exactly what they have. Would it have hurt them that much to give him all his weapon options and let you convert them in yourself? It's the same deal as DG terminators, DG will have their own special termies in their codex, so GW could just leave DG their regular termies until then, or give out the rules for the new ones now and just release the proper models later, letting the current model be the default terminator, but instead of anything reasonable they decided to remove all DG termies until the codex drops.
"All your models will be useable" my ass.

>>
>>54502310
But that's not how it works.
After the opponent does his saves, you add up all the damage the unit received and then you halve the entire damage, so the D2 Hellglaives are actually quite potent at piling on the Wounds.

At least that's how those "halve damage inflicted" abilities work in AoS.

I've recently started playing 40k and so far I've met 3 Dark Angels players.

All of them were kids, like under 12. All of them really like Cypher.

I'm sure there's something to say about that but I just can't think of it. Its so weird. Don't they know Cypher is a fallen? Do they care? Why do kids like Dark Angels so much, maybe because they were in the starting set last edition?

So fellow Salamanderfags, how do you feel about the new Chapter Tactics and Stratagem ?

Personally as somebody who picked up Salamanders because I love flamers I'm not really a fan, with most of my squads and dreads using flamers and combi flamers and with a sprinkling of combi-meltas on Sternguards in drop pods.

I guess I would have to invert it and give the melta guns to Tacticals and the flamers to the Sternguards in pods. Still, now that Vulkan doesn't affect the whole army it got weaker but on the bright side I can field a Captain of my own without feeling like gimping myself.

Yup, once played a game against a kid who bought like 90 Bolter-Tacs off Ebay. Then he pointed 180 Bolter shots at my Terminators and literally 179 of those hit rolls were 1s and 2s and the 180th failed to wound.
>>
>>54502411
Like I said, I personally can't think of anything worse, so pretty much anything other than "Leviathan was spread across half the galaxy and all over the Segmentum Tempestus, but now it's all instantly at Baal. Oh, and the warp storm kills them all immediately. Warp falls, tyranids died, boy that sure was lucky for the Blood Angels huh? Oh and Guilliman's there too. In the time it took the tendril to cross from the Crypus System to Baal, Guilliman woke up, went to Terra, woke up his Primaris Marines, fought off 88 Hosts of Khorne, crossed the Galaxy to a stable crossing of the Great Rift, and then cross half the galaxy again without the Astronomicon. But don't worry about how long that'd take: time is no longer linear in the 41st Millenium :^)"

Not in this case. If GW put out rules for products they don't sell, then someone else could go and make a model and grab the copyright, and GW wouldn't be able to make their own model for it.
Anyone with half a brain can see why that's a bad thing for GW, so we get what we have.

Though a better solution would be to put out more customizable models

It doesn't work that way in 8th at all. Iirc, they just did a thing in the FAQ about it. Attacks in 8th are technically resolved one at a time, so each Hellion does half of 2 damage per attack.

It was not, nor has it ever been as common as it is now. Most every army in the game has multiple reliable ways of dishing out mortal wounds, were as D was limited to very large units like knights except for in a handful of armies.

GW's kind of unique in how they've got dozens of little operations trying to sneak out a living with their miniatures. No one else really has to consider the potential legal problems that might come from leaving a profile or wargear option without representation.

The closest analogue in tabletop I can think of would be the Unseen in battletech.

Also, how exactly are you dealing those mortal wounds out? Aside from smite he's still a character, so you'd have to get him up front ALL of your stuff that can do it. Which is not happening in games, ever.

Thousand Sons, because I love making conversions for models that don't have rules.
They also probably have some of the most compelling lore of any faction, the persistence of discussions regarding Magnus' culpability and who if anyone was at fault for what happened at Prospero should be a testament to that.
But mostly because Egyptian space wizards in heavy power armour is the coolest shit ever and why hasn't any other setting done it before or after?

>>54502784
Usually the chapters I see fully painted are OC's hopping on the wagon of whatever tactics they like the most, back in 7th it was most commonly Iron Hands because that was the most solid Chapter Tactic that was still simple, followed closely by IF and Ultramarines. Nowadays it's mostly Blood Angels or Ultramarines. Occasionally I see players with a fully painted army of a first founding chapter, best one I've seen was a Pre-Heresy schemed World Eaters Daemon army that was a bit of a WYSIWYG enthusiast.

However, I'll try with a few that come to mind:
>Ultramarines: tend to bandwagon on the current popular flavor (e.g. Stormravens and Guilleman). Those who do paint everything as Ultramarines have a better than average TTS.
>Salamanders, started as young kids/teens
>White Scars: rich and with too much disposable income
>Black Legion: not so prone to spamming but otherwise boring

I am more interested in how we stereotype Ork Klans.

The way I see it:
Evil Sunz: by far the most common of Ork Klans represented. Usually with some conversions made on their own, older players likes the concept of Trukkboyz too much.
Bad Moonz: more painters and hobby fans than skilled in the game. Usually has one or a few unfinished units being fielded.
Blood Axes: Always leaves a model behind after picking up from the end of the game.
Goffs: they forgot to base their boyz and keep models in zip-top baggies.
Haven't seen enough Snakebitez or Deffskulls players to comment.

I totally agree that girlyman is undercosted by a ton

But I'm doubting this story about him 1 shotting a 24 wound model when he has 6 attacks that do 3 damage each. He would have had to roll three 6's to wound to get the mortal wounds necessary to finish the knight off with the sword and flatly couldn't 1 shot it with the gauntlet

then gw wanted to push more chapters.. took anything good ravenwing had and re-branded it whitescars.

just like they did to chaos. World eaters were the premier melee army .. 2nd edition they were outclassed by blood angels rules. instead of rebuying my army i just ran bloodangel codex with my world eater army.

They're not.
You can pick two out of the list:
>Bolt Pistol
>Chainsword
>Chain Axe
So you pick sword and axe and get 2 Axe attacks followed by 1 Sword attack

And a whole unit with AP-1 is actually really potent in melee. Plus S6 is the threshold at which you start wounding T3 models on 2+, so the Chain Axes are even better

Yeah i suppose that would justify their cost. I assume they didn't want to do that because they wanted them to feel different to primaris. I'd love to have an army of chaos spawn, possessed and poxwalkers though. Poxwalkers seem more or less worth it compared to cultists, i suspect a stratagem or two and the new DG spells will fix any problems they have. Chaos Spawn are pretty neat all in all.

Problem is that I've run into two conscript blobs getting blasted instantly, but not when it's just one giant blob.

Play Dark Eldar and incidentally have huge amounts of infantry killing guns on my cheap fast AT transports and monoscythe missiles.

>>54503940
Plus some shit like bikes, characters etc get T5, which the axes help you fuck over.

>>54503851
Eh. Is it that essential to be able to give orders to all the conscripts?

You know, Plague Marines used to be 2 points more expensive than they are now and back then they were already one of the best units. It does kind of suck that a 20 points Intercessor has more wounds than a 21 points Plague Marines, but against most weapons the Plague Marines are actually tougher than the Primarines.

If they give the Plague Marines an extra wound they'd need to make them 28 points at least.

I don't understand. How is one giant blob more survivable (apart from losing 1 less dude a turn to commissars)? Surely if your opponent can kill X conscripts a turn, they can kill X conscripts a turn.

I'm playing Blood Angels. I really like their fluff, especially their unique characters. Also, they're visually interesting, having units with different colors (red, black, gold) while sharing common insignias.

Also, they have best primarch.

I hope them getting Chad'd doesn't fuck their background too hard.
>>
>>54503975
Yes. Conscripts, by themselves, are SHIT. They hit on 5+ and against most things they'll wound on 5+ or maybe even 6+. Those are not good odds. But if you double their shots with FRFSRF, they turn from shit to pretty decent.
>>
>>54503983
I've never really compared them to primaris, in fact i didn't know primaris cost 20 points wow thats insane but i struggle to see the point of them versus regular CSM. 5 Regular CSM is almost the same cost as 3 plague marines and 5 wounds at the same armor save and only one less toughness seems better to me unless you only ever face power swords, plus they get waaay more offense for the points, especially since CSM can take heavy weapons and plague marines cannot.

Tyranids because I am a sucker for Biology.
I love seeing the similarities in them, the fact that they're all based on a template of a hard charapace, six limbs and other consistent anatomical features.
If you think about it, a Tyrannofex is nothing but an overgrown Termagaunt.
I sometimes write little tables of how certain tyranid units are just infantile stages to another, larger unit as they undergo an insect-like metamorphosis. (Ripper -> Gaunt -> Carnifex -> Tyrannofex, as an example.)

There's a tiny piece that goes into the main torso part underneath the plate with the Aquila on it. Then you attach the Aquila plate over that.

I'm fleshing out the lore of my chapter and I have a question: are Space Marine fleets comprised entirely of Adeptus Astartes vessels (ie. Battle Barge, etc) or can ships of the Imperial Navy be present too? Like can the flagship of a chapter be an Emperor-class ship? Or can they only be boring battle barges?

Doesn't matter when I'm spitting them out of my 95 point blaster delivery system at 14 a peice as an incidental bonus from my dedicated anti-tank squad.
