Help a brother out.

I'm trying to make a decent Eldar list, and it's difficult trying to figure out what's best in the current index. So far I've got:

>autarch with sword
>basic-ass warlock
>2 wave serpents with missile launchers, each carrying 5 Fire Dragons and six howling banshees
>2 basic units of dark Reapers

Which comes out to exactly 1200 points. I'm totally open to using harlequins, though I don't love the aesthetic of DEldar even if the rules are nice. Would filling the last 800 with a troupe n' vehicle, solitaire, then shining spears/wind riders/star weavers be worthwhile?
>>

I don't have a painted army because I do a test model, get depressed and loose all motivation.

>>54658724
Anyone know where you can get decentish models that can be used for rough riders? I kinda want to run them now with 8th, but GW doesn't sell them, FW would have me pay ~210 USD for a single squad of 10, and converting them from Fantasy/Sigmar would cost me ~100 USD between the mounts and the IG bitz I'd need.

I was thinking of doing a unit of Sternguard Vets with 2 heavy flamers and giving the rest Bolter/Flamer combi weapons and put it in a drop pod. Not sure how useful it would be but it seems like fun in theory.

Also I have a bunch of combi weapon pistols do they count as combi weapons w/o the pistol property or are they just not used at all anymore?

Reposting from the dying general:

Do you guys have any suggestions for a good proxy for this giant bastard?

FW doesn't sell them anymore, and they're pretty ugly anyways.

It's around 12-15 inches in length.

The only good proxy I've found is a Pelican dropship made by Spartan Games that's about the same size, but they're months behind on their back orders.

>Eldar Rangers

So if you roll a 6, do they take a saving throw for that damage AND suffer a Mortal wound or does the Mortal Wound really go 'in addition" to the regular saving throw?

So, the Night Lord tactic is that running multiple units near enemy units lowers their Leadership by 1, to a max of -3.

Battleshock sucks, but I can see a comedic use for this with Treason of Tzeentch. -3 Ld makes it way more likely that you can hijack your opponent's characters.

What is the funniest thing you could see this being used for? I imagine the best thing would be hijacking Pask or a Russ Commander, or having Bobby G slice up his own Ultramarines.

From the looks of it, you might be able to do the White Dwarf deodorant tank, add some assorted bits and be fine with it. Just look for the right scale.

Chaos is a fair choice because smooth flat areas can often be harder to paint to spikes and detail.

Get a couple Wraithlords or Wraithblades for some fun melee capability. They are fun to paint and have hella attachments for versatility. Want to shoot shit to bits while approaching to charge? Shuriken cannon, flamer, and starcannon with Ghostglaive. Want AT out the ass? Brightlance Shruiken Cannon Missile Launcher and Flamers. At that point they get kinda points-y but Its definitely both fun to play with and against.

>>54658795
You can do it. To hell with what other people think. Even a mediocre paint job is better than grey plastic.

Spiky bits really aren't a problem to paint, so they're not much better or worse than regular marines all in all.

Both they and regular marines are perfectly fine as first armies, and have the benefit of getting their codexes out early.

The spiky bits are a little annoying to paint, but a lot of the spiky bits are optional.

Why do Raven Guard look like edgy enemy characters, guys?
>>
>>54658936
Yes it can stop mortal wounds
They get a bonus to their save, ussually +1. This means they have a 1+ save, meaning AP-2 is needed to get them to a 3+
>>
>>54658916
Provided there arent flamers on it, a Warscythe overlord will chop up a Land Raider pretty well. Get a squad of lychguard with 2 shields and 3 warscyhes along with the overlord and go beatstick some tanks to death.

Finished painting up my 1000 points of Crimson Talons Space Marines. Hooray! Now going to start on 1000 points of Dark Eldar, but sadly probably wont get them done before I go back to work next week.

Played any games as of late?

Still haven't played at all in a long time, but hoping to either get a game at the local GW or at a nearby games club sometime soon.

>>54658936
Yes it can, and they have a 1+ save but 1s always fail so it basically just reduces AP by 1.

Considering Dorn went to the Iron Cage with the INTENT on being massacred, it's hard to he lost when what he wanted happened.

>His determination to do so had two motivations. First, Dorn of course wanted to continue his crusade against the Traitor Legions and the Iron Warriors in particular. Second, Dorn decided to resolve the Codex Astartes Crisis by accepting the Codex but willed that the entire Imperial Fists Legion would symbolically enter into the pain glove together and emerge ready and willing to reorganize into Chapters. Assaulting the Iron Warriors' Eternal Fortress provided just such an opportunity.

Dorn had two goals on going to the Iron Cage
>Kill Iron Warriors
>Have his sons feel pain

Outcomes of the Iron Cage?
>Killed Iron Warriors
>Imperial Fists had pain inflicted on them.

MISSION COMPLETE.

Do you think anyone would get particularly irate if one used a Domitar-Ferrum as a stand-in for a Chaplain Dreadnought? I think the model looks absolutely beautiful and I'd never have a reason to own one otherwise. All I'd have to figure out is where to put the Assault Cannon.

>But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the Chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’s bloodline.

New novel featuring the darkest hour of the Blood Angel coming out soon. But there is something interesting going. Some event far away from Baal is threatening to unleash an evil far greater than even the Tyranids. Who is this evil? New faction confirmed?!

Working on a batch of Kataphrons, it's a bitch but has to be done.


Played a bigass 3k game against 1500 points of craftworld/quins and Raven guard wiped the floor with the fuckers. Shooty protectrons deleted a pair of commanders while radtroopers btfo'd a bunch of troupe members (4++ don't mean shit against 50 wounds, beyotch).

Then the firstborg 9000s did what they do to a ghostkeel, charged from the smoldering wreck into some Jetbikes, and enjoyed swatting the fuckers out of the sky. Plasmaphrons sitting next to cawl made short work of some Tau suits while 5 breachers arc guns clicked a shorthand 'delet this' on a wave serpent. Then the gravaphrons decided to go full war criminal and killed a wraithlord in one go.

Priests didn't even make it to melee sadly, but konor got some more points. I think 3k v 2 1.5k is unfair, honestly.

Problem is, the design is counter intuitive. Half of the demon packs are only effective when you run them in squads of 20+ for their bonus, but it becomes exponentially harder, bordering on impossible to summon those packs in with standard rules.

Perty made the fortress to harvest geneseeds, slaughter IF, and Ascend to Daemonhood.

Dorn went their to kill IW, and get his sons to accept the Codex.

Thing is EVERYONE had their goals / win conditions fulfilled. So I'd argue that BOTH sides won.

In a less glib sense then, it's absolutely worth waiting. WE are tomorrow, WB will probably be before the end of the week so you'll know then.

I'm biased, I play WB despite whatever terrible rules they throw out in part because of the colour scheme. Honestly Chaos in general is in an alright place right now, feels quite open to playing whatever sort of tactic you want, and for the WB that's fluffy as anything. You have a Dark Apostle who believes bikes are the best way to represent the Chaos Gods, go for it.

Get this and a start collecting Tyranids, it'll start you on your way. After that, pick up some Hive Guard and convert a Malanthrope (its really easy, just take a Hive Tyrant body and tail, put Hormagaunt Scything Talons on the three sockets, and carve a venomthrope head until it fits.) if you're feeling competitive, otherwise anything that's not a Zoanthrope is playable.

>>54659219

Your save is improved to 1+, but 1 is always a fail.

If you're going summoning, stick to the FA choices or smaller packs of bloodletters, they don't get hit too hard by the smaller unit conundrum.

If you're planning to walk up the table just take plaguebearers in units of 25+, that -1 to hit makes all the difference.

Alright Archons, I could use some advice rounding out this 1000 point list.

>Archon with Blaster and Agoniser
>Sslyth x 2
>Medusae x 2
>Raider with Dark Lance
>Trueborn x 5 with 2 Blasters and 2 Splinter Cannons
>Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
>Reavers x 6 with 2 Blasters and 2 Grav Talons
>Scourges x 5 with Shardcarbines

Now I'm pretty much set on all of the above, which puts me at 832 points. I just need to work out what to spend the rest on.

The main contenders are 5 more Scourges with Dark Lances this time, or a Ravager with Dark Lances instead. Both have pros and cons but either way I'll have some good anti tank going on.

I could also get some more Trueborn with 2 Dark Lances to fill up the Raider with the Archon in it, which would give me a few more points I'd probably spend on another couple of Reavers (because I have the models and think they're cool, and they're also the only real melee I have aside from the Sslyth) as well as Agonisers and Blast Pistols on squad leaders as appropriate to fill out the last few points.

Thoughts?

Up until very recently their original 40k colors were a much darker blue and gold. I think it looks better than the seafoam blue they went with now. It's not much but it works. Also, the Black Legion has their own TSons brigade, I'll link that in a sec.

>Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to deploy in force; intervening rivers of molten metal and promethium have proved discouraging to a good old fashioned bayonet charge, although one memorable encounter saw a regiment of Death Korps soldiers give it a go. It turns out that the Korps aren’t ones to let a little thing like “being on fire” get in their way, and a burning Krieg grenadier is surprisingly effective at close quarters.***

Night Lords rule seem pretty good, not too crazy but cool combos in the army, you're basically getting free 2-3 kills per unit at the end of each turn in some armies and now that you can counter the leadership buffs some armies have it is a viable bonus as opposed to useless in the previous edition.

Can someone explain to me how the dark eldar "drinking your soul to starve off slaanesh" strategy works? From what i understand, they drink the emotions off suffering because Slaanesh is drinking the dark eldars souls?

>>54660355
Slaanesh eats their soul, they eat yours. Having your soul eaten makes you pretty miserable because they're so jaded that the only thing they can enjoy is others being more miserable than them. So they torture you and feel good about it which buoys their soul a bit longer
>>
>>54660355
The Dark Eldar soul is being drained by Slaanesh. To counter this, the Dark Eldar feed on the emotional energy of pain, bloodlust, and despair. This energises their soul and extends their lifespans. However, as the Dark Eldar ages he becomes more jaded meaning that he needs to view and commit far greater atrocities to energise his/her soul to stave off Slaanesh from complete draining it. It's a losing battle that all Dark Eldar in time will lose.

I think one unit of raptors plus a jump pack lord (because you ARE giving your night lords chaos lord a jump pack, right?) could be workable, that's -3 or -4 depending on whether you take the icon. I mean you'll need a unit to escort the lord anyway, so might as well be raptors.

>Why is this so powerful? Psychological and shock value. You declare this Stratagem AFTER your opponent has already started firing – meaning if they’ve decided to overcharge plasma weapons, suddenly their own models will be getting slain on a 2 or less. You’ll be able to catch powerful shooting units unawares with this one, and just having a Command Point spare at all times will mean your opponent is less likely to risk overcharging their weapons. With Hellblasters arriving on tabletops very soon, you’ll need defence against plasma, and this is a great way to get it.

It doesn't have to be Raptors, tard.
3 Helbrutes with Scourges and Twin Heavy Bolters become excellent everything-mulchers with a particular hard-on for infantry.
Jump Pack Lord and Icon Raptors dropping down is already -4.
Hell, just take a bare-bones unit of Bikes with Icon of Despair and ram a -2 Ld suppository where you want it.
For an army like them, that wants to get into melee anyway, this trait is really powerful. Capping at -3 is really not too bad considering you will have trouble getting an enemy unit within range of 4 or more such units anyway.

Because swarm armies aren't the correct target for leadership debuffs. Even if you disregard the Commisar, making four more Conscripts run isn't worth a damn. Now, making it so that you shoot 3 Intercessors and the other two run away screaming, THAT's useful. Stack enough debuffs and even ATSKNF won't save them, never mind the idea of getting some Custodes to run away. And if you spread your damage out so that a lot of units have to take a morale check, the amount of mileage you get from your Ld debuffs skyrockets.

Legion Focus, so we get to find out their Legion Trait, Relic and Warlord Trait. Though considering how good Berzerkers are now, I fear the Legion Trait will suck.

They will find some relevance somewhere

How do you think Guilliman will react to the Tau?

The quad autocannons on contemptors are supposed to be butcher cannons in the flip to 40k chaos. I would add some blades to the ones that come "stock" if you want them to look more chaotic.

FWIW those Decimator butcher cannons are quite large as well. Check a decimator and contemptor side by side.

Yes. They are exactly the same.

That one tactic is all they have and will ever have.

>do people really pay hundreds for a bunch of tiny plasic men that aren't even assembled and colored so they spend their own time building and spend more money and time painting?
>Do people really buy things that have zero use after being purchased other than sitting on a shelf?

Fools and their money.

RT half-eldar isn't current lore. They can't breed successfully.

That weapon conversion looks dope, always preferred mechs with external weapons over those with integrated ones.

So I've never actually played the game. I mean I know the lore, I've read the books, I'm not completely green but I want to get into the game.

First I'm wondering what army to play. I'm immeditally attracted to anything that can field large murder vehicles like knights because A. Big stompy robots are cool and B. Less to paint.

Am I on the right track? What armies have the best big stompy dps beasts? Any other newfag tips? Thanks.
