So I'm making an Alpha Legion primaris successor, and allying in a Vindicare seems appropriate, especially since Alpha Legion famously use regular human operatives.

But how should I model him?

Chaos players what are you doing to contribute to the war effort? codex bearing reinforcement is coming for the imperium. Find a grey store in your vicinity and cap that bitch! Every model painted is a fresh coat of icor for your favorite plague marine! Every battle won is another skull for the mantel of your best zerker! Get in there fight the good fight and provide a new bottle of astroglide for a slanneshi ass hole! Every strategem point spent for the effort is a "Just as planned." For your favorite lovcraftian blob/bird hybrid!

Posted at end of dead thread, but do big models ALWAYS need bases?

I've got a fuckton of Kataphron and it would be easier to just go without bases for transport/modeling/play purposes, and I know Nids and shit to it all the time. Is it a problem for measuring if I just set the doods down and use model to base for distances?
>>
>>54624503
No matter how many threads you post this in, it won't change the fact that your losing. Ypu'd be better off asking xenos what they're doing, since they're the only ones who seem to be able to pull chaos out of utter ruin

You have to measure like a tank in this case, from the center of the model instead of from the edge of the base, I think.

That's what I mean, I can have my cake and eat it with crimson slaughter.

Chaos players at my local store are gettin' krumped HARD. Prior to Saturday's megabattle it was roughly Imperials 96, Xenos 46, Chaos 4.

We 3 or 4 Ork players show up at that megabattle (myself included), and da boyz had to play (for Chaos) because the store was so lopsidedly in favor of the Imperial scum.

Imperials won the megabattle, which I'm fine with since Chaos needs to get its shit together without asking the greenskins for help all the time anyway.

>>
>>54624534
Canon, everything is canon.
>>
>>54624550
Most of the time you are:
1) the one that charges, so the Trait as no effect
2) You get charged, and has a minor effect (or nothing if it's only one unit). If 2 units it's basically a free Counterattack stratagem, which is cool but nothing sensational
3) You are stucked in a one sided combat where one of the two will simply fall back

There are situation where this trait is amazing, but that's the thing. It's nice but overall situational.

>>54624600
>which I'm fine with since Chaos needs to get its shit together without asking the greenskins for help all the time anyway.
This. It's fucking pitiful that the first campaign about imperium vs chaos, in the edition supposed to be about imperium vs chaos, has ended up being imperium vs xenos

You seem pretty upset to be winning Anon. Where did the cultist touch you?

It's just like storm of chaos.

Also consider the generic 'Veterans of the Long War' stratagem.

+1 to wound. You'd have 4d3, S8 ap-3 D3 damage which hit on 2s, and wound most vehicles on 2s or 3s.

You'd also have 108 S4 shots which hit on 2s, wound most infantry on 2s or 3s with no cover save.

Very strong.

Models use the base the came with, with the exception of model releases which were reboxed with different base sizes over the years (e.g. space marines). In that case you choose the size you prefer.

If only we could get konor to end with ghazzy headbutting abbadon into the 51st millenium. That would be an outcome most of the participants would be happy with I think.

But after SoC and FoK, I think GW needs to wake up and realize chaos isn't nearly as popular as they think
>>
>>54624668
So this is why they focus the most on space marines.
>>
>>54624527
use the bases they come with or you are modelling for an advantage. In this case it makes them harder to target or charge.

>>54624584
>applying a "only infantry and bikes" Stratagem on a Defiler
>>
>>54624550
Initiative 5 was pretty much "attack first" anyway, so this isn't really that big a change to Slaanesh marines.
>>
>>54624668
They open the campaign during a space marine release and knowing that Imperial outnumber Chaos by a large margin.

So on top of the big numbers of the Imperial players, they will get points for buying the new releases. So please be truthful about what's happening on the ground. Even with full xenos support (which Chaos isn't getting), Imperials would win the first planet anyways.

Stop being delusional.

We had a four way battle in AoS. Chaos, Destruction, Death, and Order. Guess who won by a ridiculous margin. Order. Why? Because they had the most players. It was followed by Chaos, then Destruction, and Death.

If Xenos were allowed as their own factions in this campaign, they would score worse than Chaos.

Historically, Order always wins in 40K and Fantasy campaigns simply because they have the larger numbers on their side. The breakdown is pretty much the same. People flock towards the good guys.

When has a xenos/non-human faction ever won in a global campaign? You keep bringing up SoC, did you know that the Orcs didn't win shit in SoC? Grimgor being there to headbutt Archaon was totally randomness by Gav Thorpe?
>>
>>54624746
Least complicated way is to charge with your Transport first and let it absorb the Overwatch. Sure you still take Overwatch, but on your T7 W10 Rhino that's not too bad. Then once the Rhino/Trukk/Venom/Whatever is stuck in you charge with the actual damage dealers.

You are supposed to use the base supplied, but most people probably won't care especially for kataphrons which are almost as big as the base anyway. Just add half an inch to your measurements or something.

There's a reason base size must never be smaller than normal, and measuring to the model would make it impossible to shoot your unit even though it would technically be in range had you used the base like you were supposed to

Yeah ok noob here. I've played a couple 750pt games on vassal with a couple mates (tau and IG) and I have an issue. List:

>TROOPS <2>

>5x Rangers (100pts)

>5x Harlequins (123pts)
>>All harlequins embrace
>>Fusion pistols x2

>ELITES <1>

>5x Fire dragons incl exarch (125pts)
>>Firepike

>HQ <1>

>Warlock (37pts)

>HEAVY SUPPORT <1>

>3x Dark reapers incl exarch (102pts)
>>Missile launcher

>TRANSPORT <2>

>Starweaver (99pts)

>Wave serpent (164pts)
>>Twin bright lance
>>Shuriken cannon
>>Crystal targeting matrix

Both games have been on the domination obective, and I've won both by having the reapers camp on a backfield objective and rangers on a midfield one all of the game.

Problem is both games I've been very close to being tabled, with harlies and dragons both being obliterated after jumping out of their transport, slaughtering one thing each - and then being entirely unprotected against all of the enemy's shooting.

So basically I'm scared of what'll happen when we roll up a gamemode where I can't just stack up on points by camping on objectives or when they manage to put the midfield objectives out of range from cover. Besides, it doesn't feel that good winning when all that's left are the reapers after the mainstay kamikaze'd themselves turn two or three.

What can I do? Change the list? How do I avoid dragons being left out in the open or harlies falling out of combat?

Anyone who wastes the stratagem on noise marines is a fucking retard. You want to use the stratagem on something that's carrying extremely powerful weaponry, like havocs. The only time it's really useful is when you want to clear out a horde, but even then flamer chosen do just as good a job for cheaper

More imperial factions means more types of armies, means more appealing to a wider set of players, means more players overall, means more players contributing their wins to Imperium. There's just way more Imperium players than Chaos, which makes sense due to something around a third of all content being for Imperium.

I'm more surprised by people without codexes accepting games against people with codexes. Why would you do this? Indexes were balanced against Indexes and should not be used against the blatantly more powerful codexes, unless the codex-user is in need of a boost due to being new/bad at the game.

Easier to make look good? DG. Power armor required blending or highlights to look good and the flat surfaces demand properly thinned layers. All DG requires to look good is an olive basecoat and brown gloss wash, which GW thoughtfully both just released.

Tip: don't paint pure white. Start with gray.

If you use Citadel paints, that means Celestra Gray and then Ulthuan Gray. Optionally put a purer white on top of those if you want.

And layer some brighter purple colors over that, washing with nuln oil or a watered-down dark purple.

they're good fun zooming around the field
we had a small point tournament at our store (1000 points doubles) and we where facing a guard army with conscripts and a manticore, somehow they managed to roll really bad on their first turn , (the -1 to hit helped a lot) and on the second turn it zoomed over to their table edge and just unloaded into the manticore which went down to 1 wound (and bs6+) saving our asses

it's great at what it does , and what it does is kill anything with a high toughness/wound value

Consider the following:

Narrative Play is something entirely different from Matched Play.

Therefore, while it is impossible to have a Matched Play army comprised of both Ynnari and Imperium, nothing is stopping you from playing a narrative campaign showing what happened when Girlyman and Lady Topknot were fighting alongside each other.

Why not go Minotaurs with Sisters? The Imperiums executioners and the psyker hunters.
Lord Moloc leads the charge, with Terminators and Sisters close by. Basically, like Space Yiffs on Prospero, only in the 41st milennium, and with a chapter that hasn't become furry mcwolfwolf.

So, just got tabled by Daemons yesterday, and after looking at my codex and compairing it to others, I have to wonder: Why the fuck did Admech get nerfed so dam hard?

I mean, I understand, Admech were great last edition, and canticles/doctrines were nearly overpowered, and stuff like Kastellans and Electropriests were buffed.

But than you look at a Tech Priest Dominus; who is 135 points base, compared to a Space Marine captain who is 74 points base. Now, the Dominus has the advantage of a +2 save, and healing d3 wounds. He also has more powerful heavy weaponry, and can heal vehicles.

However, when we look at what the captain has, it becomes retarded. Captain's have a better invuln, better weapon selection and variety, lets units re-roll ones to hit for both shooting and close combat, has better WS and LD, an extra attack.

Now, while Canticles are good, chapter tactics and relics make up for that.

And sure, the Captain won't be winning all that many fights in close combat at stock options; but given his variety of weapons, access to jump packs, terminator armor, and Transports versus the Dominus' Canticles, the Captain will not only reliably kill the Dominus, but continue on to kill more.

And that's not going into the Skitarii units themselves, who are overpriced for their stat line and guns, lost their horde clearing/Anti-power armor ability, have crappy LD comparable to a guardsman, can only be taken in 10 man squads, only have a 4+ save and BS 3+ to boast in superiority and no transports what so ever.

What the fuck GW.

Well, it probably doesn't help that you pay 50 pounds for a ten-girl squad.
I wouldn't wonder if Custodes also don't really sell well for 40k, as all the have is a ten-man squad for 70 Pounds, a Land Raider with a tacky paintjob and the monopose plastic Contemptor Dread, while completely ignoring everything FW puts out.

Got the Talons of the Emperor box and leftovers from Burning of Prospero, so I can go both way, to question is, if I should go with something inquistive-blanchistulike (the Black Ship taskforce) or ram the enemy with my glorious Mary Sue Minotaurs (I always loved the Moloc model and their reimagining).

Also what do you think, which SM chapter tactic is better for Minotaurs. Black Templars or Iron Hands?

>>54626416
For some reason FW and GW really enjoy designing their rules in such a way that in their games (40k for GW, 30k for FW) the kits that are sold by the other half of the company are either garbage, or illegal to use.

I do not use my SoS since they are very expensive and need a rhino to work. A rhino that can't transport other stuff (beside inquisition) and does not get the benefit of SoS like before.

I'd actually be really interested in hearing someone high up in GW talk about why they don't want to integrate FW stuff into codexes.

I mean FFS if GW would let you use all the stuff FW put out for Custodes they would almost be a legit stand alone army. You'd think if it was sales driven they would jump at the opportunity to port models they already have straight into 40k as a legal army.

I'm thinking of just using my Vets as standard Guardsmen/Conscripts as a mandatory melee screen for my tank heavy army.

Proxied AoS Khorne Blood Warriors as my Black Legions Berserkers, fluffed it as them having shed their power armour and weaponry for armaments from the warp.

GW was happy with it, one opponent refused to fight, even when they said it would count as a forfeit.

Was I wrong, Anons? I don't want to invest in shitty old Berserker sprues when the AoS Khorne shit is so much more juicy.

In the original IW Index Astartes it was the Iron Warriors dominating, though the Imperial Fists were only a Chapter at the time, but the Ultramarines arriving drove the Iron Warriors off.

In the Imperial Fist IA it was two Legions fighting, and they were going to destroy each other, but Guilliman decided it wasn't worth it and the Iron Warriors were driven off.

I have, as a matter of fact. Going to add some magnets so it can also be a WYSIWIG Marauder Destroyer for 8e games too. Whale base is currently being stripped and a bunch of GS cables to link the stormraven engines to the body are drying, just need to find some way to make the armour plates for the main body of the thing. The trim on Admech and Imp Knight armour is what's stopping me from just rolling flat sheets of greenstuff and adding Mech bits, but I guess I could do segmented armour like the Vulturax and inset the back walkway.

Been reading the Last Chancers, and man there are some serious Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now levels of fucked up shit going on. I expected dirty dozen levels of shit, not this.

I mean the book cuts into it with Kage's dry humour, but in the same page it can talk about how he's having night terrors of a river crossing with the bloated corpses passing by, or how he rationalizes killing civilians because they're already dead in his mind. Or one of his several psychotic breaks.

I think it's amplified because the whole story is told from Kage's perspective, and to me at least you get to experience his descent into madness right alongside him.

That said I recommend the shit out of the series.

I would do the same if I played khorne, although my first choice would be 30k models painted red and white

Only issue I can see is lack of pistols and bases maybe being 40mm instead of 32mm but the former is irrelevant as its stock war gear and the latter is a disadvantage for you in all ways as a player who will get shot up more easily and the fail to fit as many models in melee so no reason to complain about that

What did they ruin? The original was essentially a legion bullying a chapter, until another chapter showed up and kicked the Legion in the cunt. The original casualties for the Imperial Fists were 400 Marines.

The version since that has been mutually assured destruction.

Alright, not quite sure whether to post this here or in the WIP thread.

I'm currently busy building a Thousand Chads army.
I also happen to have a box of standard GW Baymax Kastelans lying around that I never built because, let's face it, they're ugly turds.

So I was wondering if I could convert the ugly GW Kastelans to look a bit more like the awesome Castellax Achea the Thousand Sons use in 30k, or at the very least convert them to look a little less derpy.

Using a Chad Sorcerer as a Datasmith is a no-brainer obviously, but how would you convert the Kastelans? My plan right now is to give them Tau Drones for heads and put some less rounded armour panels on them.

Do you have any better ideas? Or is it just a stupid idea from the very start?

Pretty sure this just means that they call every mission a crusade. It makes no mention of how large the Crusade fleets are.

Though, from a 40k point of view, that now means that just everyone is right.

too much bullshit going on, on the model. Too much filigree, too many spikes, too much hair, too many special effects. if it's too busy the art doesn't draw the eye in a pleasing way, it just looks busy and messy. Often over the top to the point of absurdity.

No, it's not. It's a core element in the 40K setting. And don't think you are the only moron that claimed this. The point is which you seem to miss that when Chaos was introduced, it was the MAIN villain with an apocalyptic destiny for the galaxy. The rulebooks SPECIFICALLY point at Chaos as a threat above all xenos combined.

This is Konor news.

With around 2 days and 12 hours to go, it's looking increasingly likely that the heroic defenders of the Imperium will triumph on Astaramis without losing a single warzone to the enemy.

This miraculous occurrence could only have been possible with the Emperor's blessing and the tactical genius us Lord Guilliman himself.

Will things stay this way until the end? It certainly seems that way.

Goodbye and good luck. Kill a traitor for us.

Nope. As the anon pointed out. Chaos was introduced as the main villain in Realm of Chaos and then continued to be main villain to the Imperium's hero since and to his day. Don't try to rewrite history.

Chaos, Eldar and Tau are the only interesting opponents for the Imperium and each other.
Newcrons are better than Oldcrons, but not a match for those. However, their models look way better than stupid hats and anime mecha, so they get a pass for style.

It very much was. It wasn't in the core rulebook because they were still working on Realm of Chaos which was going to cover all their systems at the time. Chaos was mentioned as a part of 40k since before 40k was even released.

GW's pushing of Chaos was pretty half hearted up until recently, with a majority of their core units still sporting terrible sculpts from early 3rd ed and terrible rules with no flavor how on earth did they expect anyone to buy into it? Thousand Sons and Death Guard are a definite step in the right direction but they'll still both need propoer rules and expanded model ranges before they can truly stand on their own as factions. Most importantly though Chaos needs new sculpts for it's core models, basic marines, Havocs and the like.

Oldcrons were more interesting and actually spooky/cosmic horror esque. But worked poorly as YOU'RE DOODS.

But it was mentioned in RT, just not the rulebook. But in the surrounding media at the time they mentioned Chaos was coming.
It was already the big bad of the Fantasy setting and 40k at that time was marketed very much as Fantasy in space.

Wrong, there was a time when it wasn't in the rulebook. You just have a distorted view of the past because you look only to the rulebooks and none of the surrounding.

I've always liked this as a way to preserve your characters despite downing them every other game while still making their defeats somewhat meaningful. My Archmagos is loaded into vast cogitators in his flagship along with his original body wired in Mr. House style, so when one of his proxy selves dies he just transmits back there, but each time a little bit more of his self is disrupted from interference and he becomes steadily more erratic and insane. Also justifies the fact that as an Inar Satarael counts-as in 30k his fighting skills are piss and he has no Isave or EW.

Whereas if I kick Guilliman over with a Knight and then morris-dance him to death with a squad of electro-priests while tabling his army, he's fucking dead. Game over, Ultramar, your great leader is gone and I sacrificed basically nothing to do it while you need hundreds of years to recover if you don't asspull a rescue.

They shot him down into the ocean and he had to swim a fair distance to get to the Hive.

Yeah after the pylons activated. Abaddon and Celestine lost their powers. Celestine promptly folded to Abaddon who cast her down her down with a righteous bitchslap. Before he could finish her. Greyfax mustered all her remaining poor to fry Abaddon's brain and blind him.

When Abaddon went after Celestine again, Creed and his command squad charged him. with the rest of 8th Cadian regiment. When Abaddon slaughtered Creed's command squad and ripped Creed's arm while chocking him to death, Celestine came before him and stabbed him.

Abaddon did not get a break in all that fight. It was one thing after another, having to deal with these characters plot armour

Oppps misread because I am tired. No, there wasn't any Imperial forces in the area except a blind and dying battle sister.

Any Deathwatch predictions ? Personally I hope they:
>make the special ammunition either a wargear option or just free
>allow Terminators and other models with storm bolters to use it
>introduce a new stealth specialist, sniper with a camo cloak and a stalker boltgun that can be attached to kill teams to grant them infiltration
>give Deathwatch shit like Apothecaries and Techmarines
>give the Primaris Marines special issue ammunition
>fix the Storm Shield price - if everyone else has a separate price for it on characters and other models so should they
>perhaps add some units from the Deathwatch RPG, like the Keeper as some Ancient/Champion hybrid
>>

This is a good writers trick, makes it seem like each death has weight, while as there's no number stated, they can keep killing her as many times as they want to.

I can see her becoming a new eternal BL jobber.

>>GW didn't restock the noise marines or update the kit for the launch of chaos marines in 8th

They still have two weeks, dude.
They just ANNOUNCED the launch of Chaos. (albeit a clearly halfassed launch of Chaos that isn't dropping the new Abaddon Chaos desperately needs)

I thought the Night Lords were busy kiting the Dark Angels for that.

Khorne's Beard! That'd make a good base for Kharn.

So it says to never take saving rolls against mortal wounds. But do you take disgustingly resilient against them?

hang out at your lgs and grit your teeth.
there are probably other normal people there that only come once a month or so. otherwise check to see if there are other more popular stores nearby. in my case, the lgs right by my house has a small group of people that show up occasionally, but the store that's 20 miles from me has a massive group.

you might convince others to come to your store if they know people will be there.

Berserkers can ditch their pistols for Chainswords for extra stabbing.

Guy on the left in that image.

The joke is that it's from the BBC and he's a darkie so if he were to commit any crime the british media would call him asian instead of muslim.
>>
>>54629558
how do you know he's a muslim?

Well they're not always muslim.
They are asian in that they're from asia.

>>54629558
What if he's hindu or zoroastrian or something?
>>
>>54629460
No, it's because the Indian subcontinent is in Asia, was owned by the British, and produced far more immigrants that the Pacific Rim to Britain.

Bolt Rifles with Special Ammo would make me jizz in my pants.

>>54625025
Not much help but what you have to do is basic placing. After you charge a unit you must always wrap it so it cannot retreat and after the fight consolidate into cover or out of sight.
If you are overkilling units far too much you need to downsize your squads and buy something you actually need.
