They said something about people being able to cheat by manipulating rolls, which seems vaguely possible but also incredibly paranoid and it really ruins the atmosphere

Anon, I hate to tell you this, but that's nowhere close to guilliman levels of cheese. That's calgar levels, hell all he has over calgar is the morale bubble, +1T and the extra attacks from Drach'nyen. All that for 52 points more.

Speaking of which, would you guys allow using named characters in successor chapters? I mean it might not make sense for Calgar to be hanging out with Howling Griffons but that doesn't mean I don't want to buy and play him.
>>
>>54705814
Making your own dudes is better than ever before. Not only do you get to make your own dudes but you get to use whatever rules for them you want, even the rules from the named dudes. The only thing you can't do is bring the named heroes from some other chapter of dudes, but you can ally your dudes with the named dudes and bring a detachment of each if you want
>>
>>54705884
At that point you'd be running the ultramarines keyword for everything, which is fine just at least put the effort into making it "counts as", so figure out who the Calgar of the howling griffons would be

So, Tox Trooper anon, I have a question, and some tid bits when it comes to my faction. But firstly, what is the worst punishment for a Captured Plague Marine?

My current idea is called "The Dip", where giant boiling vats of chemicals are summoned, and the crippled Marines are slowly dissolved, inch by putrid inch, until they are totally dissolved. This fate takes about an hour, and are usually witnessed by both captives and troopers alike.

Some other ideas I has are:


Commissars assigned to the regiment are not only expected to keep up their hygiene, but to harshly punish troopers that are not meticulous in their own.

The Regiment has taken keenly to involving themselves in the health of their allies. Propoganda promoting cleanliness and immunizations often appear when fighting alongside them. However, posters are the least of their allies fears. There are rumors that circulate that the Tox Troopers have no qualms about "euthanizing" other regiments that have become infected with viral diseases.

The Tox Troopers themselves, in contrast to their grizzly method of war, are typically seen as hopeful and energetic, fueled by a mixture of revenge, zeal and a optimistid out look on life.
>>
>>54705884
See
>>54705901

They just need to be a Ultramarines successor for it to work fluff-wise and make sure your opponent knows hey this is Calgar, just with a new coat of paint
>>
>>54705908
What about it?
>>
>>54705926

Given how popular primaris are, I'd expect the latter stuff to absolutely happen. Grey Knight Primaris is an open question though.
>>
Are there any big third party warboss models? I want my bosses to reflect what they can do and be big fuckers
>>
>>54705843
I was thinking either ultra, raven, or dark angels successors but im still not sure. I didnt what to do the typical "traitor legion loyalists" or "grey knights part 2" and just wanted to use a chapter with a fairly balanced way of warfare but is still kind of unique.
>>

They wouldn't care much. Plague Marines literally don't feel pain anymore.
>>
>>54705948
Alright then, sounds absolutely fine to me
>>
>>54705884
>would you guys allow using named characters in successor chapters?

You can run your Successor as "count as" Ultramarines with all the Ultra rules by the book. But they aren't really a successor at that point. Their Ultras painted red and yellow.
>>
>>54705926
Grey Knights have the Emperors gene seed? I didn't know that

Plague Marines don't feel pain and you wouldn't be able to capture them alive.

I don't know, what's the worst possible thing to a Tyranid? Sometimes it's nothing you can do.
>>
>>54705972
Eh, I'm sure that if you pump enough las into them you'll eventually wind up blowing ones limbs off. Considering how durable they are, I doubt loosing all their limbs would actually kill them. If not, you can always run them over, and pin them under your tank, before brutalizing them.
>>
>>54705977
>>54705983
>>
>>54705926
>Will Grey Knights get Primaris Marines
Probably not. At least not until after a hypothetical point in the future when all marines have been converted to Primaris.
>>
>>54705987
I don't see a pen/pencil on that model at all. Drawing with a power gauntlet on sounds hard as fuck anyway.
>>
So, at the moment is there a way to run pure daemons without being totally underpowered?
I tried it but the lack of guns really hurt.

The Beast Arises series, final book, the Inquisitor tells another Inquisitor that the Grey Knights are made with the Emperor's own geneseed, just like the Custodes, and that they (GK) are superior to Custodes because they're all psykers. A secret to fight Chaos blahblahblah.

Maybe. But keep in mind that most of the stuff in the Smurfs Primaris Upgrade sprue is shoulderpads, heads and accesories. You can use other version of chapoter specific bits to mix in with your primaris right now just fine. DA are the only tricky one because robes. But for BA or Wolves just pick up a BA upgrade sprue or SW box.

>>54705997
Tyrannids are a hivemind; the worst you could do is isolate, restrain and starve it. Plague Marines have a somewhat functional brain. Something must perturb them; I was thinking a chemical bath would be horrorific, since it annhiliates all life down to base compounds.
>>
>>54706019
Daemons are cheap points-wise, if you want to run them without marine buddies I'd suggest running lots and lots of high wound character models in with big packs of lesser daemons. Force them to choose between shooting at high wounds characters that will tear ass and drop lots of smites and shooting at big blobs of little guys that will really mess all their shit up.

Not sure if you're going to win any tournaments, but nobody wins tournaments but the best of the best anyway.

Plague Belcher Assault D6 S4 0ap 1d plague weapon auto hits, also not sure if its 8 or 9 in range

Bubonic ax melee +1S -1AP 1D Plague Weapon

Mace of contagion melee +2S -1SP 3D plague weapon -1 to hit

Great Plague Cleaver melee X2S -3AP d6D plague weapon -1 to hit

Flail of corruption melee +2S -2AP 2D plague weapon, make d3 to hit rolls each time you attack with this weapon. Excess damage from this weapon is not lost, instead keep allocating damage to another model in the target unit until either all damage is allocated or the target is destroyed.(OMG non-mortal wounds carrying over)

In the book Resurrection, it's implied that the Emperor is making people Alpha+ pyskers slowly in the eventual hope that they control their powers and all of humanity becomes it. And according to one of the Alpha+ pyskers in the book, it's going to happen because time is a flat plain.. Though I bought the Collectors Edition so it came with the short story The Blessing of Saints, which implied that The Emperor was controlling the Saint or at least empowering him and the Saint couldn't control it so he asked to be killed and the Inquisitor who does it believes it wasn't the Saint asking to be killed but somebody else, which is implied the Emperor. As in the Emperor is begging to be killed cause he's in so much pain and shit. But implying that Saints, like Celestine, are Emperor powered people who managed to control his power

let's face it Cawl probably has acquired GK geneseed somehow anyways
aren't most chapters required to send some of theirs back to Mars to check for mutations anyways
hard to imagine that GKs won't do that considering they have to be all pure and shit

Not really, they don't even have digestive systems, they're literally born with the goal of killing as many things as they can before they starve to death.

They're just going to spend the whole time trying to escape and murder anyone who gets near them.

The Death Guard Terminators can all take Plague "flamer" style weapons like the Spewer/Belcher, and have a special rule that Deep Strikes them anywhere over 7" away from the enemy instead of over 9" so they can shoot as soon as they drop.

Oblits get 3 wounds and 4 shots each while terminators cost slightly less and can take melee weapons.

>>54706606
Black Legion traits is better if you consider it as "When we want to go fast for other reasons we have extra firepower". Not something you're actively trying to do every turn.
>>
>>54706650
>but having to be entirely on the cover
You know it just means the unit needs to be entirely on the cover, not every model needs to have its entire base entirely on the cover, right?

If you just have a tiny sliver of base on the cover you're on it.

Furthermore because all wounds are allocated and resolved one at a time, as soon as any models outside the cover are dead, the rest of the squad gets the benefits.

Cover is really good this edition, especially for MEQ.

So why don't CSM have thunder hammers?
Seems like an obvious weapon for Iron Warriors, and a lot of characters had them before the heresy.

Real talk, fucko's
I've been lurking these threads and I've seen some idiots arguing over the strongest/best primarch.

Anyone who doesn't think it's Leman Russ is objectively wrong. He schooled the emps in competition while none of the others could. He was also the executioner because he had the balls to do what others could not. He was also sent to break Magnus because he was the only one capable of doing so. How could any other primarch compare?

>>
>>54706712
It would only make sense.
>>
>>54706696
Because it's a lot less good when you lose the double shots at half range and suffer the -1 and cannot charge on top of that.

Most of the reasons you want to go faster are to:

>Get close enough to charge, or
>Get close enough to Rapid Fire.

This fucks both of those. Basically the only thing it's good for is Advancing towards objectives or running AWAY from the enemy while still getting some extra pot shots in.

Sure, as a free bonus it isn't bad, but that's not how you can really look at Legion traits, because you have the options of the other traits.

The main draw to playing Black Legion is taking Abaddon. If you're not planning to do that, don't even bother. You're better with another Legion.

Yea, though I still think 1 fist 1 cannon is the way to go. It's better against all comers, especially with a soul burner. With launcher it comes to 240pts

Yes, because the phase isn't over yet.
>>
>>54706712
He's pretty good in 30k. If he has his doggies he's more expensive than Horus.


>>54706701
Horus and Sanguinius were the two strongest Primarchs. But Sanguinius was a proper psyker (and I mean can cast spells, not be psychically reactive, before your autism comes in Carnac) but also a mutant so it put him behind Horus as suitable for Warmaster. Only Horus, Sanguinius and one other could defeat a full-rage Angron in a duel.

Russ is great but he wasn't as powerful as Horus or Sanguinius. But the former is Space Satan and the latter is Space Jesus, so what a surprise really.
>>
>>54706701

Russ won a drinking competition. Emps kicked his ass one-on-one.

Top kek, not him but no it isn't. If you're moving closer to get more shots you might as well stay back and not get the minus one to hit, since you end up with the same number of shots anyways, and if you're moving up to charge you're screwed, because you advanced and AFAIK CSM can't advance and charge. The situations where it's useful are few and far between, it's shit m8.

Not all movements are towards or away from the enemy. Moving into flanking cover that nobody else could have reached and then still shooting at 24" for instance is good stuff. Moving into a position where an enemy character who felt safe is within range of plasma or melta shots is good stuff. There are lots of uses that I'm sure you are too bad at 40k to understand.

Why don't CSM get:
>Storm Shield
>Drop Pods
>Thunder Hammers
>Land Raider variants
>Grav weapons
>Tartaros and Cataphractii armor
>ect

The reason is fuck you that's why. The other reason is they're not in chaos kits and/or don't have chaos accessories with them. However, since they're all about converting GK stuff now, they could have easily ""converted"" a chaos pod for example, so the answer is actually just fuck you.

If you need a 20” move to reach some form of flanking cover, you're playing with too little terrain.

Melta aren't rapid fire weapons so don't benefit from this tactic. Any Legion can Advance and shoot melta.

Etc. Short for et cetera. I see this mistake so much it must be a grammar thing. Like people who say "I'm going for a lay down". No, you lay mines, you lie down. Reeee!

As for that, I don't see why CSM would want shields. They have special god powers protecting them. As for grav weapons, they get daemon weapons instead. They get Land Raider variants in Forge World Index.

Well Land Raiders have been given to Chaos since IA13 where they could capture Imperial stuff and then either corrupt them or 'chain them' with bindings. Like the Land Raider Achilles, it can only be subdued by constant blood rituals, if they don't, it eats the crew as it uses it's daemon powers to kill Chaos.

2500 Point List using models I own


>Celestine + Geminae
>2x5 Dominion Squads with 8 Storm Bolters total
>19 Seraphime with 4x Hand Flamer

>Ultramarines
>Captain in Terminator Armor w/ Santic, Relic Blade, and Storm Bolter
>5 man Intercessor Squad
>5 man Scout Squad sniper-missile
>10 man Tactical Squad bolter-missile
>2x5 Terminators Assault Squad (8 TH-SH)
>2x5 Terminator Squad (2x Cyclone, 2x Chain Fist, 6x Power Fist)
>Venerable Dreadnought w/ Twin Las & Fist
>Predator with all the lascannons + Storm Bolter

Theory: Seraphim turn-1 charge the enemy (doable) while Dominions & Celestine follow close behind to support. Terminators teleport right behind them and charge by turn 2.

Predator & Dread work on vehicles.

Space marines have literally double the number of datasheets in there codex as chaos marines have
Without including all the different chapters like blood angels or space wolves.

Seems just stupid that they would stop chaos from using weapons they they clearly used during the heresy, considering they are supposed to be the less modern version that don't get new equipment.

Give the regular marines more modern and updated things, but why take away the older equipment from chaos?
>>
>>54706907
>You can't simultaneously say that they shouldn't have new tech, and shouldn't have old tech.
I most certainly can. It makes no sense for legions to have new tech, and it makes no sense for renegades to have old tech. ESSPECIALLY since the tech in question was rare as fuck during the GC, let alone 10,000 years later.
There are legitimate complaints, like the lack of termie variants for CSM, but them missing out on rare tech that is either not available to the loyalists (who fluffwise take far better care of their stuff) or is something so rare that ad mech and marines would not dare let chaos touch it without a serious fight is makes perfect sense.
The only way to balance the fluff and rules (so that chaos doesn't just become C:SM: now with even more stuff) would be to make two books: one for legions and one for more recent fallen chapters. But that won't happen because CSM aren't nearly popular enough to justify that.
>>
>>54706957
Don't forget the second one can move and shoot without penalty so it's basically also 36" and the double shot threat range is 21"

Fucking hell. Chaos is literally getting more new shit. The Thousand Sons and Death Guard uppdates (the latter which hasn't even completed yet) has shown GW is trying to give you MORE toys. It sounds to me like you want all the good toys (if not all of them in general) from SM and then your unique stuff on top. So you want to be Spikey Space Marines Plus? Wow, so unique, much wow.

Okay, but by that logic we're even further behind loyalists because we don't have stalker bolters or the seige dreadnought weapons or hurricane bolters or typhon missile launchers or w/e.

Does anyone else have trouble with picking the faction they want to stick with? I'm having the issue where I keep swapping between armies because I can't find the one that 'clicks'.

Guard can be fun but their survivability is so bad. It just feels awful watching half my army get melted in a turn because they die the moment anything looks at them wrong.

Renegades have an amazing theme but their rules look so bad that they're not worth investing in.

SM look okay but I am only interested in the Primaris.

A lot of people do. I'm bouncing between Primaris, Death Guard, and Orks.

>>54707057
Making Death Guard and Thousand Sons separate codexes isn't really more options for CSM, no. Not anymore than Codex: Space Wolves has more options for Ultramarines. Go compare the wargear pages from index Imperium and Index Chaos; they're essentially the same as the Codex ones, and the chaos one is a third of the size. That's not "trying to fix" anything.
>>
>>54707061

Absolutely. Besides the half dozen marine chapters or so I'm interested in (but Salamanders above all else) I still want an Imperial Guard army, and Chaos is more attractive these days.
>>
>>54707099
So we've moved from 'more options for Chaos' to 'more options to CSM Codex'. View, so much lifting going on here it's a wonder you ain't got a hernia.

Go fuck yourself. If we can't have new things, our shtick should be old shit because guess what, we have old shit. We should be allowed to put heavy weapons on our rhinos like in HH. We should have Volkite. We should have cata/tart armor because Indomitus was a relatively new thing during the heresy.

It's bullshit that SM get loaded with "new" shit that CSM can have even though they can totally pick that shit up off the ground, but we also can't have old shit because renegades "shouldn't" have it.

Why are armies different? It's not fair. Every army should be the same. History in real life has proven there has been no technological or unit formations differences between rival forces in warfare. They have always had equal numbers, the same weapons and the same units.

Been trying to come up with a scheme/chapter choice for like a month now for my primarines.
Should I homebrew? (wanted them to come out darker blue-grey than pic)
Rift stakers? I like raven guard, they seem aight.
Knights of the Chalice? Dunno if primarines will be affected by black rage etc.
Emperor's spears? (ADB is writing a book on them so they're iffy)
They'll mostly be embattled against Mephrit Necrons, until I'm back in the states and can play against other people. I was thinking it might be cool to pick a scheme that will contrast the bright orange/olive drab of the necrons as they'll be kind of a "player 2" army to try and indoctrinate some friends into the game.

Fuck yeah. So happy about this new codex, I thought it was going to be underwhelming like the space marines codex but pretty much every problem I had with the chaos index got addressed if not outright fixed.

Defilers: 50 fucking points cost reduction, new strategem to make it reroll hits and wounds for 1CP

Doom Siren improved and Noise Marines are 1 point less per model making it easier to afford the sirens (10 points per unit of noise marines freed up)

Possessed: Two wounds each, can buff them to be strength 8, d3+1 attacks, reroll missed hits and wounds in fight phase

Lack of snipers/good ways to deal with high invuln saves: Two new psychic powers that specifically address this.

Obliterators: twice as many attacks

Right?
I don't have a Defiler because I didn't magnetise my Soul Grinder.
I'm please with Doom Siren, I always run Noise Marines in Squads of 6 just because though.
What's this reroll? Is that just Dark Apostle buff or did I miss yet another something else?
Gift of the Gods can target characters I think, but what else did we get? Infernal Gaze was already in index if that's what you mean?
I'm hyped about Oblits, I planned on building some custom ones soon but now I'm even happier, and the Assault thing really fits with my Emperor's Children.

Death Hex strips the invuln save off of people and gift of the gods is the character sniper power I was talking about. There's a new HQ called Exalted Champion in the codex that gives reroll missed wounds in the fight phase, so if you bring him and dark apostle your melee guys near their auras can reroll all hits and wounds in the fight phase. I forgot that diabolic strength only works on one model, so you can't buff the pozz marines with it, but you could use it to buff a daemon prince of slaanesh and you can use a herald of slaanesh to give +1 STR to the DP and the pozz marines if you want to summon one in once you are stuck into melee and either the exalted champion or the dark apostle don't need to move for a turn. You can also give the DP the +attacks warlord trait from emperor's children so that if it takes 3 damage it would have (assuming claws DP) 11 attacks with diabolic strength and (assuming herald) 9/11 strength
>>
>>54707412
Looks like zerks are the same cost as they were. I can't see the points costs of melee weapons in this video for shit though, but I don't think they got increased. Zerks are still 16 points while noise and plagues got a discount
>>
>>54707497
oh yea, none of that set in stone. Was just mixing stuff around I agree its pretty bad.
Also was thinking brass over gold, to make them less flashy.
>>
>>54707506
I'd been thinking about some of those combos.
I was thinking Daemon Prince backing up the Possessed with an Exalted Champion, cast Prescience on them and you have 2+ to hit, rerolling 1's, rerolling wounds, and cast delightful agonies on them too before they charge to keep them alive long enough to get into the melee.
Or, have the Daemon Prince stand ahead of them and cast delightful agonies on themselves so they can enjoy the delightful sting of bolter fire for themselves a little, any wounds that get through, which is not enough to kill them, will only buff them thanks to the daemonic drug cocktail coursing through them.
Masochistic daemon prince charging first through the gunfire on purpose just seems fluffy for Emperor's Children.

11 attacks. S11, AP -2, 2 damage each. Hits on 2, reroll misses, wounds damn near everything in the game on 2 or 3, reroll missed wounds. That's 22 damage. Also can be used on flyers if he's a flying DP.
>>
>>54707565
Fuck yeah dude, shit just got loud as hell around these parts. If you do summon in a herald of slaanesh you've also got another cast during psychic phase, which could well end up being hysterical frenzy which might net you another 11 superbuff DP attacks for a total of roughly 40 damage in a single turn from a single model.

Why don't the various Human armies of 40k make use of suicide bombings? Say for example a 70 year old Guardsman( however rare that might be) doesn't want to "Die soft" so his comrades load him into a vehicle(most likely an armored civilian one) filled with explosives and use him to create a gap in the enemies lines, And even if his vehile is destroyed before detonating he shall still die in service to the empreor. Therefore he both dies in service to the emperor as well as assisting his brothers in Arms to kill the enemies of the Emperor. Flagellants could also be used for this purpose as disposable shock troops
>>
>>54707636
Interesting. (Perhaps)
>>
>>54707627
Only problem with Hysterical Frenzy is you can't get within 1" of an enemy unit during the movement phase, so you need to either fail to murder everything in your turn of combat, AND the enemy turn of combat, and they have to not fall back.
These are rare occasions for Daemon Princes.

Alright but I've only done the first layer of the base coat.
Bloodwrack Medusa body, Herald of Slaanesh head and claws, fitted onto Medusa arms with some sculpt work and, I admit, annoying glue work, and a boltgun for the spear tip since I intend to use her as having a Warp Bolter and Paired Malefic Talons.

Nothing wrong with it at all.

Just don't start making special rules for them (the ability to pull units from all imperial factions means you really don't need to) and don't fall into the special snowflake traps.

I'd say Plague Marines are the hardest of the Cult Marines to Torment.
Berserkers? Pop thier limbs off and cut them off from battle, the Butchers nails and thier own psychotic need for bloodshed will tear thier minds apart.
Noise Marines? Cut them off from sensation. Again thier torments would never end.
Rubric Sorcerers? Spawn the Cunts, the Flesh Change is thier biggest terror.
Plague Marines?... Well what the fuck do you do to a literal manifestation of entropy?

You clearly don't know anyone with a masochistic denial fetish.
They still love the big stimuli, and they get to it better by denying themselves, kind of like edging, blindfolds, restraints, anything so they can't tell what's going on, just the imagination that sensations of pleasurable sensations are there, just out of reach is enough to get the blood pumping.
Doesn't really fit Noise Marines theme but it's not outside the realms of possibility.

Given the Writhing Tentacles rule has disappeared, I wonder if possessed have gone from rolling D3 for the whole unit's attacks to rolling individually. Along with the extra wound it would basically fix them, IMO, you'd no longer have a situation where the whole unit only has 1 attack from a single bad roll. They do still have an asterisk in the A column, but the guy turned the page too fast to read the special rule on the melee weapon statline and see how it was worded.

They're not, no matter how stupid it is. A model with a +1 to hit never overheats plasma unless it also has negative modifiers. A roll of 1 always fails regardless of modifiers but it doesn't count as a 1 anymore for the purposes of the plasma weapons overheat rule.

I think he knows that and is looking forward for the shitstorms next week.
>>
>>54708420
If it's just D3 then you roll D3 for each instance as each attack is resolved separately. In the case of possessed special rule it deliberately states otherwise.
>>
>>54708445
That's not how it works. The 1 fails but it still counts as a 2 for the purpose of plasma. We already have FAQs detailing this.
>>
>>54708445
This has been addressed. Its not a 1 for plasma.
>>
>>54708445
This is false.
The rule for missing explicitly states an "unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails", not that you can't modify the hit roll when it's a 1.
The rule for supercharged plasma states "On a hit roll of 1" which indicates this one can be modified.

>There is a huge unavoidable plot point involving him, which has been covered in books. Sigismund will not die against Abaddon.

Source? Sigismund is alone surrounded by the Abaddon and Ezekarion. Each one of he Ezekarion is an epic level Chaos warlord that would put any of the well known named CSM heroes to shame. For example, Khayon.

Abaddon and Sigismund decided to settle their rivalry in a deathmatch. So how he fuck is Sigismund on his lonesome getting out of this? Abaddon won't die. Will he KO Abaddon? The Ezekarion will tear him apart.

The only way Sigismund is getting out of there alive is for Abaddon to spare him after the duel. Make no mistake, Abaddon respects the shit out of Sigismund and it seems to be mutual since Sigismund warrior saluted Abaddon. BUT they don't respect each other to the point that anyone of them would spare the other. They are adults not children playing at war.

>>
>>54708568
Source? Literally him forming the Black Templars as punishment for failing to capture Mars and getting into an argument with Dorn. Also established lore says he never lost a duel. But, ADB is, obviously, one not to care about established lore. So you might be right. I'll screencap this though just in case.
>>
>>54708574
Such as who? That's in regards to uranium. /biz/ is a bit of a meme board. "BUY GOLD LOL". No thanks.

Talon of Horus. The fight between Abaddon and Sigismund was teased in the final chapters of the book. The second book coming next week will feature the duel.

Before Talon of Horus was written down, IIRC, ADB in the forums said he always wanted to write Abaddon fighting Sigismund. Lo and behold, he got h is wish and the fanbase rejoiced!

Continued....

Sorry, tired as hell so reading comprehension is suffering.

Dude, at he point of the story Sigismund WAS the commander of the Black Templar. The teased chapter where Abaddon will fight Sigismund is called THE TEMPLAR.

Sigismund had the Black Templar chapter standing around Cadia for so long waiting for Abaddon to emerge so he can kill him and atone for failing to kill him in HH.

Dude, you know nothing and I need some coffee.

1CP for +1 To Wound for that unit.

Is this it, are Possessed finally good?

Fucking how, and don't be the retard who says that psychic power that only buffs a single model.
>>
>>54708822
Looks good, Emperor's Children Obliterators with that, the Cacophony stratagem, and this will tear anything lighter than a rhino in half.
Same goes for Havocs and Special/Heavy Weapon Chosen.
>>54708854
Yeah, he was stacking a few buffs on at the end there but basically, they're the elite melee unit they were always meant to be.
Also
>>54708869
Guy who typed that corrected himself, he forgot it was a single model buff.
>>
>>54708854
s8 and d3+1 attacks? How, the strength psy power affects one model.
>>
>>54708800
So a unit using that wounds anything in the game on a 5+? That sounds kind of amazing. Using it on a unit with lightning claws for an over 50% chance to wound seems like good times.
>>
>>54708708
I have no idea how to do it, besides, Australia Limited has gone down.

>>54708896
Yes. Bolters can damage Titan's on a 5+ with that Strat.

Fuck emperors children, anything with a Mark of Slaanesh. Cacophany and VotLW are both generic strats. My SoH/Black Legion are digging in deep.

What are you talking about? It's within 1" of an enemy, THEN you fall in and attack. It's an extra attack phase for 0CP if you are already within a fight.

Look its hard to say no to hot pink and spikes.

Yep, I fucked up, sorry. That shit is best used on demon prince than on pozz marines.

>>54708938
He's saying because the power is cast in the psychic phase and you need to already be in combat, you would have had to fail to kill everything for two fight phases already if you got the charge last turn.
>>
>>54708916
Oh yeah, little biased towards my legion though.
>>54708938
I can't keep my monster in combat until my psychic phase, none of my opponents stay put, they fall back so they can shoot instead of risk a round of combat during their turn as well.
>>54708960
Right?
>>
>>54708905
Fluffwise, if they really are VotLW, they've probably faced countless Titans and know where to aim.
>>
>>54708962
Look, possessed aren't great, but being fair, with 2 wounds a 5++ and being a little quicker, for relatively cheap, you can get a bit of use out of them. I think alpha legion benefit from them best, because you can basically drop them next door to the enemy before deployment and go in hell for leather. but outside that, they still aren't half bad.
>>
>>54708938
>>54708977
Yep, good call, probably not going to happen in any reasonable circumstance.

I know, I had two different responses for your two different posts.
Partially because someone already made a joke about your use of the word fuck and I didn't want to parrot them, but I still needed to agree, who wouldn't fuck Emperor's Children?
But everyone should play what Legion they like, biases amongst the Legions is expected.

And us cult legions will of course help when the time comes for another black crusade.
But for now lets help Deathguard rip Konor in half, we have a shiny new codex to match theirs, and I'm painting two squads of chosen and a box of possessed for week 2.

Beyond rapid fire range, plasma incinerator loses out to both the assault and heavy variants. At rapid fire range, it wipes the floor with both of them. It all depends on whether you want them to get close or stay back.

I'm going with heavies because I want to use them at long range.

What chaos SHOULD have are unique weapons of their own to make up for the fact that they don't have that stuff. Daemon engines are a good start, but chaos marines still have fully half the unit entries that regular marines do.

A good start would be to look at FW and the way they've handled chaos; loyalists get storm cannons, chaos get butcher cannons, Loyalists get "relic of the chapter", chaos vehicles fucking eat people because they're built in the warp and are possessed by daemons. Loyalists get grav weapons which scale their damage with how "hard" a target is, chaos gets "soul burner" weapons, which deal a small number of mortal wounds per turn.

The exclusion of Dirge casters and daemonic possession from the new Chaos dex is just baffling considering how ubiquitous they've been for several editions now, as is regular CSM now being arbitrarily restricted from bolter +chainsword

Chaos could very easily be built into the "glass cannon short ranged" marine army that has a stratified sort of list construction; Cultists cost nothing but have a rule where when you target marines behind them they take a mortal wound instead, CSM are otherwise cheap and slightly less expendable but their cost comes from being able to stack up on weapons/wargear, chosen/havoks/termies cost a lot but have some built in rule that pumps them up (havoks pick a unit key word like INFANTRY/VEHICLE/MONSTER and can reroll wounds against it).

If GW wants to push the CSM vs SM 10 000 YEARS OF HATRED narrative for marines it would be nice if they were slightly better at their jobs then the average chapter marines (For example, if their squads take the same amount of damage a Khorne Berserker has a higher chance of running away then a scout marine, because the scout marine can reroll failed moral tests)
>>
>>54710039
Battleshock isn't just running away anymore though, I agree with you wholeheartedly on almost all those accounts, but Battleshock and leadership aren't simple fear + run away tests anymore.
Leadership is as it probably should have been to begin with, the units teamwork. Combined with group morale, courage, and willpower.
A character on their own will have nigh perfect teamwork with themselves, so they're mostly 9's, with some low rare models having 10's.
Chaos Marines are nigh fearless, but their teamwork is lacking, that's why all their characters are leadership 9, except Abaddon who is a 10, while their troops are brought down.
While safety in numbers is standard procedure for humans, there is something to be said for someone who stands alone against an enemy, these exceptional character are chaos lords and other similar characters, they fear death of course, but they have confidence in their own abilities. While the troops and even elite units have to rely on each other, and chaos just can't trust each other like naive scouts can.
You can think of a Khorne Berzerker model leaving the field from battleshock as something more akin to the unit reacting to the sight of blood and taking the opportunity to kill a person they weren't fond of, accidents happen on the battlefield.
But yeah, the elite and cult units of CSM at least should be a little more disciplined.
