Trying to be nice to a buddy of mine who's getting into the hobby and starting GK, thinking of gifting him a baby carrier since he liked the look of it, and also really liked the sound of being able to make it have a grand master in it. What might be some good ways to model a grandmaster in the carrier?
I heard white dwarf recently showed a conversion with Voldus, might a terminator get a similar effect? Please help.

So I'm thinking of getting a small third army, just for fun to paint and to give me some options to play with.

One of the high things on my list is a Deff Dred style Ork list, but I'm really not up for a horde army; would this rough list be terrible? It doesn't have to be a tournament winner, just something that won't get tabled in one turn

50 PL because thats what everyone plays here

>Big Mek with KFF
>3 Meganobz
>2 Deff Dreds
>6 Killa Kans (in two squads)

Not a lot of feet on the ground, but not too much worse than some other elite forces for around that PL.

I think Killa Kans are great models and fluff, so I'd really like to build around them.

Renegades/Daemons were a separate match and were actually losing until the reinforcement. (They brought a Lord of Change to a 750 pt game)

As for the others, they are strong when there is no cover for the enemy to use. Especially when the enemy is semi-melee based but not good at it, and you can charge them turn 1.

Might be worth finding gaming clubs. I've noticed that people are more likely to be WAAC as fuck if you go to a GW-centric LGS or an actual GW store. Don't know why.

It is a local gaming store, it's the only one.
It's mostly GW and MtG focused, but he also brings in niche hobbies if he can, and sells pokemon and yugioh cards on the side.
He's also a pretty cool guy, stocks the drink fridge on very little profit and some days at his expense, and he has a small library of codices and indices that either he's bought for the store so people who can't afford a codex right now can play, and lets newcomers playtest with his armies on the boards to see how they like the game, plus he doesn't charge us to use the boards and I play D&D there on wednesdays.
It's just the two most common games in his store are pretty WAAC heavy as the norm, or at least I figured it was the norm.

Perhaps Death Guard and Daemons are getting a simultaneous release? I've heard that a new GUO model is slated for release (including a variant of Ku'gath since he is assaulting Ultramar with Mortarion) a completely new Nurgle daemon unit may be coming also.

Because they get a second attack with those melee weapons? Because the Flail is fantastic, especially with a Chaos Lord along? Because a unit with those Axes is basically Power Axe Chosen + 1?

Just because they aren't Khorne Berzerkers doesn't mean they're a bad melee unit. In fact with Axes and an Icon they could be pretty nice at Elite infantry killing.

>>
>>54727801
Flail and Cleaver don't get a second melee attack.

I get maybe the axe, maybe going 2 heavy flamer and axes in a rhino seems good, if its cheap though.

Power Axe is 5 points, and this has Plague Weapon so it will probably be 6 or 7 points which is quite expensive per model.

Yeah, but the Flail makes D3 hit rolls, so it's still 2 attacks on average.
I hope the Bubotic Axe is 6 points, so it will even out to 25 points per Axe-Wielder, which would be more expensive than Axe Chosen, but good for what they bring.

>60 Poxwalkers
I've fielded 60 Poxwalkers a few times now, and, if they are properly supported by Tyhus (and really, there is no reason not to), they are a formidable tar pit that will bind big angry melee things for the length of the game. It's also a really good counter against gaunts and recruits. But don't expect them to just dominate the enemy on a raw points-per-points basis, like other units do right now. They need proper support and they only really start to shine in games above the 1000 point mark.

They should really find a way to make "blast" weapons not feel like any other gun, just with random number of shots.

That and make them have more HP or something. Any anti-armor pops them pretty much instantly.

At the moment there is no reason to take a leman when a Valkyrie does everything a leman can and more, for cheaper cost.

I use them as plasma guns. So long as you are targeting the right thing without them ordos. Rerolling to hit and to wounds against Chaos is awesome

>>54728182
Yeah, I guess my wish would be something like

Buuut that would be way too complicated.

>>54728196
Some units in AOS also have a mechanic which allow their ranged attack to autohit if they roll under the number of models in the target unit. Needless to say, it is exceptionally strong.

What about close combat? I planned on having them tag along with my inquisitor and his bullgryn airdrop but with 2 less wounds and pretty shit armor it seems like a bad idea now.
>>
>>54728196
I suppose, though even that can become a problem if not properly used. Even a simple "roll to hit and if you hit, then you get random number of hits" would make things feel a bit different, even if mechanically it'd be the same. They could have a new "Ordnance" weapon type that, say, rolls 2D6 to hit and picks the higher (1 on either roll still counts for plasma overheat) to hit, representing like the big explosion of the shot having an easier time of hitting the enemy than a more precision shot.
>>
>>54728194
>Any anti-armor pops them pretty much instantly.
Do they though? Damage D6 isn't particularly reliable at shaving lots of wounds off tanks. On average you'd need four Lascannons to get through your save.

I think some things will be buffed, and some nerfed. Conscripts will have either a limit of like 1 per detachment, or they won't be effected by Commissars or they can't take orders. Something will happen to them, but that's fine. I think Infantry squads will be buffed, but also increased to 50 points. The superheavies will probably get a rule where they don't get -1 to hit on their main cannons like Russes. Russes probably won't change at all. I'm thinking Vostroyans will get leadership buffs. Catachans might get WS3+ or something like +2 cover in forests. Hopefully veterans get doctrines back. Basilisks and heavy weapon squads will definitely see a price increase. Maybe Manticores too.

My hopes are for Catachans getting WS3+ so I can run a Priest, Straken, Yarrick and 6+ infantry squads with a special weapon and power maul sergeant. Melee Guard go!

Think of it more of a history book, very factual and is told from the writers perspective (I believe the writer is supposed to be a SoS), it's has lots of different accounts recorded from various people. Plus as others have said, it tends to be better than BL books and is also canon. They're are plenty of great moments and little treasures within them.

I don't have the modeling skills to put my Storm Bolters on anything, so I thought of just doing some easy Bolter models saying they have Bolters and Bolt Pistols since that keeps them at 8 points and that would be good enough to body block for my melee inquisitor.

Heavy flamer on deem striking is pretty bad since you're 2" away by definition. However you can also use warp time on them, but that's so far relying on two powers so stick with either plasma or flamer IMO.

Question
Technically speaking you can't fire pistol while in melee
Since they unit with pistol is within 1", so even if pistols allow them to shoot, they are not eligible for shooting in the first place.

I'm missing something here aren't I?
>>
>>54728487
So reaper autocannon, even though it's hitting on 4's but will be consistent 4 shots rather than a potnetial 1 from the heavy flamer. But the plan with these guys was to assault the turn they drop, preferably against tanks, so maybe keep the heavy flamer to get warptime off more likely
>>
>>54728572
You can shoot a pistol while in close combat, and you can shoot a pistol into close combat when you're out of it as long as they are the closest target.
>>
>>54728572
Rulebook literally says 'even if there are enemy units within 1" of its own unit, but it must target the closest unit"
The only hiccup you should have is determining the closest unit, especailly now all units have split fire
>>
>>54728608
>you can shoot a pistol into close combat when you're out of it as long as they are the closest target.
No. The clause of 'cannot shoot at enemy models with 1" of friendly models' is not overridden by the pistol's rules.
>>
>>54728572
Why do people always do this
It says even if you're within 1", you can still shoot
Therefore, even if you are within 1", you can shoot
How hard can it be to understand?

Every dataslate has a section called "faction keywords" near the bottom. It's those you should be looking at.
>>
>>54728646
The rulebook literally says that all units must share a faction keyword, or be unaligned
Imperium is a faction keyword. Therefore you can make a battleforged army of any Imperium units.
>>
>>54727587
>trying this hard
>>
>>54728646
They have to share a keyword. So you could use "Imperium" or "Aeldari". You could also choose "Ultramarines" and only include Ultramarines models if you want that detachement to benefit from codex special rules like Defenders of Humanity.

Yes but you'll run into problems like your captain only buffing those marines or not being able to use special chapter rules since those only apply if the space marines are in an only-their-chapter detachment. Also, Paukers are usually pretty specific on who they can target their buffs on, like Navigators only being able to target Astra Militarum and stuff.

Step 1 of shooting
It clearly says you can't pick units that are within 1" for shooting purposes.

We know the intention is that pistol allow it, but you can't even get to that step RAW.
>>
>>54728779
Yup. They're completely different phases so there's no reason why they'd interfere with each other.

That ork can shoot his slugga then charge and attack 3 times with his choppa, right? Then why can't he do the same in combat?
>>
>>54728779
Sort of, but the Pistol shot happens in the Orks' shooting phase. So that's usually 2 assault phases after the charge (when the unit the Orks charged has usually wandered off ages ago)

>>54728794
>>
>>54728572
The part you're missing is you're being excessively pedantic when there's a clear permissive exception in the rules. Yes, strictly speaking the sentence "You may not pick a unit that Advanced or Fell Back this turn or a unit that is within 1" of an enemy unit." means you can't start up the shooting rules sequence to let the model based exceptions override. This is obviously absurd. Simply read that line as "You may not pick...unless the unit contains models that say otherwise" or something similar. A similar clause is found throughout the rules elsewhere, but was just left off here.

So congratulations, enjoy your careful reading cookie, but practically it's not worth thinking about or acting on.

RAW wise the pistol rules doesn't even apply. Because you can't choose the unit in the first place.

Alright let's get off this pedantic train and get to something actually interesting.

Which faction/chapter is the most asthetically pleasing to you and why? Don't say just orks, say something like evil sunz because I like red or something like that.

I'll go first: Crimson Fists. I think the muted blue looks nice and the red trim goes well with it, but the red fist really gets me going since no other chapter does that kind of thing (barring iron hands but who Sven plays those nerds) and it really stands out.

Writing airtight rules with brevity is actually fairly challenging, particularly when you already "know" how the rules are supposed to work. It can make you blind to corner cases. In past rulesets they used lots of diagrams and restated themselves multiple times to get the proper intent across. It's unfortunate these errors exist, but luckily they don't have much practical impact.

as a positive, when every page of examples and diagrams and definitions you cut spawns countless unfun matches due to people lacking the brain cells to discern what you mean. Forge World is the perfect example of this, there are standing rules questions that nobody has been able to answer for over 5 years, for instance how many points a World Eaters chainaxe is or what the statline for several items in the latest black book are.

Don't try to mix in a dictionary meaning of "a group" into the answer and it'll work fine.

I'll bite since nobody replied and I've been playing my orks as a dread mob after 8th dropped a lot more than I did in 7th.

The way you have it those meganobz are going to get murdered, they're the lowest toughness models in your army. Despite having good saves and three wounds anything with decent strength and ap is going to melt them even with the Big Mek nearby.

Killa Kans are excellent in 8th, but don't fall for the meme that they are a primarily shooty unit. Skrag em means even a unit of three puts out an impressive number of attacks at high strength and great damage. While bs 4+ is nice for things like rokkits, KMB is still just shitty rokkits and the grotzooka being heavy means that you go back to orky bs if you fire on the move, and you really want kans to stomp up the board so don't actually be afraid of a skorcha or two, even if they are pricey

Deff dreads are also good, but mostly as a distraction. Keep them far away from hordes. Either keep them cheap as possible with twin shootas or go balls out and get a skorcha and a klaw.

Keep in mind that a nob with WAAAGH banner will buff everything in the army including the kans. A unit of Kans hitting on 4+ is a sight to behold against pretty much anything, and tends to catch people by surprise when it does around 12 damage or so on average

If you want to expand the army go with a orkanaut. Its probably get my vote for most improved ork unit, and stuffing things like the nob w/WAAAGH banner or the mek inside to vomit them out when they need to do stuff works great. Not to mention he tends not to die in one turn anymore, which is great

>>54729171
If you can form a cohesive line that connects all the models, then it's legal.
So yes, you can do this pattern.
You can make a line of models
You can make a square
You can make a star pattern
As long as you aren't combat squading your guys, and they are all in one group, it's fine

Holy shit
>>
>>54729168
Not him, but the fact that FW writers are retarded and write shit basically at random is a known fact and the reason for the existence of the pay-to-win meme.

The fact that autist will find a reason to argue bullshit both in case of 8 pages of rules or 800 is a different thing and is still true.

Thanks my man

Would it be worth trading out the 3 Meganobz for another 3 Killa Kans? It seems better on paper. Or I could drop them in favour of the WAAAGH banner Nob and a Trukk or second Big Mek.

I'll probably be playing with PL, so I was definitely thinking 3 Klaws + 1 Skorcha or 2 Klaws + 2 Skorchas on the Dreds

Orkanauts will be high on the list for things to add if/when I do this, which is looking increasingly likely just because they'd be fun to build and paint, and would a good contrast against my Marines and Dark Eldar

Yes.
Daemonettes, Bloodletters and Plaguebearer are all 7 points, but the Instrument now cost 10.

Pink Horror cost 6, Brimstone cost 3, and if you have less than 10 Pink Horrors in a unit, their smite does only 1 damage.

Yeah, unless you're dead set on the meganobz or already own them, I would trade them out. I want to love that unit, I really do (I play Goffs), but they have all the same problems they've always had

If you ran 2 big meks and a banner nob then you would have 2 main groups (1 units of kans with a dread) that each mek could roll with to fix their gubbins but you would still have to choose where the nob goes between them.

The trukk idea isn't bad either, it just takes a turn of positioning to get the nob where he needs to be when the kans and dreads charge

Honestly you might just wanna go with the third unit of kans, if you stuff all the units together you probably could get them all under the one mek and that many attacks even on 5+ will even out okay without the nob if you can get them into combat.

The greater daemons are just beatsticks with no cool ability, and the real core of the army are Herald, which all got the same identical ability.

Named Heralds are the only only thing giving the armies any sort of flavour and Khorne got the short straw, since Skulltaker is useless. +1 to hit to nearby Bloodletters, but Bloodletters already hit at 2+ if they are more than 20 (which they are gonna be, you are a Daemon player and that's a named character, you will not leave him with a 10 men squad).

Not that other Gods are better, as they will basically just spam Smite because they have plenty of casters but only 3 powers.

You instead get to move slowly, soak fire and pray you'll get close enough for a charge.

In AoS daemons are extremely fun to use, I don't get how they were able to make them so boring here.

Also, Keywords are all over the place, which bothers me. Heralds on Juggernaught are BLOODLETTERS, but Bloodcrushers aren't, but then Herald of Slaanesh are not DAEMONETTES? Seeker Chariots are DAEMONETTES, but Heralds on Seeker Chariot are not. What the hell.

So Ive got either a 3 or 4 way 800 point game today against Nids, Death Guard, and maybe Primaris.

I was going to go simple with Pask and two BT Commanders in a Supreme Command Detatchment but after upgrades I have 100 points left exactly. I was thinking a Tempestor Prime and a Command squad with two Plasma and a Volley Gun that'll take me right to 800 exactly.
Any other suggestions on how to spend 100 points on a single IG elite choice?

>>
>>54729557
No, you can still totally take them in your army, even other daemons too.
You just shouldn't anymore since Legions now get bonuses, running daemons alongside CSM is no longer going to be a good strategy, running a Herald to boost a Warp Talon or Possessed units strength isn't worth losing out on Legion traits.
However, you don't need to be a Legion to use the new rules, take it as a chaos detachment and you can run both, miss out on Legion specific traits and rules, but still get other new rules anyway.
Or just run daemons in a second detachment, 4 Heralds is a legit small points detachment.
Anyway, rules are there for summoning, if you have the points aside for summoning certain troops it's basically like having the unit in a special deep strike reserve.

The issue tended to be a money thing. Most people didn't want to make a squads of twenty marines so they initially would just use the marines they had a veterans which could be troops along with terminators using a right of war.
20 man blobs while unwieldy in terms of play could become an absolute bitch to shift if the had an apothecary. The fact that they could take chainswords in addition too their bolters was great, Fury of the Legion, while situational, was absolutely hysterical when pulled off in rapid fire range.
And some Legions just had good synergy with them, World Eaters in particular could have horrifying tacticals, with the proper set up, i think it was like 6 or 7 attacks each on the charge, which were at a possible S6 AP4 i believe. Made anyone not a Marine cry

I would say the other issue was that Horus Heresy armies suffered at low point games because of the unit taxes, which caused many people to use vets so they could get multiple roles out of their compulsory troops.
One of those side issues was that HH armies suffered at low point games at would get stomped on in low point games, especially against 40k armies. But 30k armies could become fucking retarded at high point levels when the big toys got brought in. Hell, Marines can take fucking Malcadors Squadrons as a heavy support choice. Plus when you bring in the Mechanicum, the solar auxilia, hell even the Imperial militia and cults armies. You had a lot of variety.

Just realized how disgusting cult armies would be if they were in 8th

I know with Curze in HH you could make squads not even in combat with him run if he wiped out a nearby unit. 30k night lords fear revolved a bit more around Curze, but they also did have a lot of other tools available to them aside from just fear, something the 40k version lacks.

I still love how the Death Guard can toughness zero some models to death

They both happen "at the end of the movement phase" as such you follow the sequencing rules on page 178 and the active player gets to choose the order. Thus the Chaos player can choose to first deploy his character from reinforcement and then summon. The FAQ entry handles the other issue.

>for the purpose of rules that state "instead of"
It just says they count as having moved for purposes of heavy weapons. The FAQ answer seems pretty clear that the original action doesn't have to be allowed to do something "instead of" it.
>>

I suck so hard at this part of army building
>>
>>54730246
I've been looking through faq's and I can't find it either. I guess some fag on 1d4chan lied or something.

>>54730253
Fair enough. 5 guys protect a hole in a wall while my Russ do Russ things.

Lion.

Not a /mu/tant but metallica is thrash
>>
>>54730259
Heavy Weapons were clearly given as an example.
>>
>>54730270
Yup. Just deep strike your volley guns next to something important without an invuln and watch the AP -2 go to work.
>>
>>54730245
Ah shit. You are correct. I'm blind. The rules would allow it otherwise.
>>
How good are tarantulas?
>>
>>54730294
I'm expecting a fair few Carnifex.
>>
>>54730289
Yes? It's irrelevant to the argument in light of the FAQ. Still the point is moot due to a specific prohibition in summoning anyway.
>>
>>54730009
We're regaining a little of our old power now. Threads aren't randomly dropping off the board as much and we occasionally get two or three conversations at once. I think people are trickling back from the "Ooh, 8e!" hype.
Angelus should kick us back up there, that and the 7.5E rulebook that apparently IS tweaked some.

Which build is better for Chaos Marines?

>10 man, sarge with power sword/plasma pistol, plasma gun, heavy bolter
>10 man, sarge with combi-plasma, plasma gun, heavy bolter
>20 man, sarge with combi-plasma, plasma gun, plasma gun
>>
>>54730245
You can still summon after dropping from a transport though! Valks from Renegades+12 character summon bomb is still possible.
>>
>>54730261
It's honestly not that important, but useful if you're trying to get army-wide synergy (-1 to be hit and wounds of 6 get ap -1 in a shooting army? Yes please)
>>
In the initial FAQ for codexes, it says to "In these instances, use the datasheet from the index, and the most recent points published for that model and its weapons" in regards to models which do not have rules in codexes. Does this apply to other models as well? IE if I'm a Tzeentch Daemons player, what point values and rules do I use for my Brimstones right now? What if I'm a Yiff and want to use Power Fists; do I use their updated point values?
>>
>>54730261
What do you have painted up so far?
>>
>>54730294
Or how's this for a slightly less armored alternative that gives me more boots and a more survivable firebase?

You use the index values until the codex comes out. The exception is Primaris marines in BA/DA/SW/DW since GW published a pdf with rules and points for including Primaris in those chapters.
>>
>>54730331
Honestly Tactical Chaos Marines just arent impressive. I'd go with Cultists, lesser Daemons (its possible now) or MSU Cult-Marines instead
>>
>>54730241
It's a lame ass tournament between friends, maybe 1 or 2 of them actually knows all the rules.
>>
>>54730367
Thank you!
>>
>>54730361
I just realized I could bump down the tank commander to a regular Russ, drop the power mauls, and fit a whole 'nother infantry squad. Y/N?
>>
>>54730331
Combi-plasma, power sword, plasma gun, HB.
>>
>>54730331
3 flamers, or 3 meltas, 3 plasma if there's a reroll. Champion with a chainaxe.
>>
>>54728078
Nothing wrong with that. Your keyboard is making me feel a bit sick though.
>>
>>54730320
I'm thinking of testing them out with a proxy model first. BS4+ T5 4W 3+save seems pretty alright. I'm hoping they will be too little of a threat to attract heavy fire but too resilient to die to lasguns.

>>54729521

I'm just salty about the fact that I've been modeling all my CSM since the Cruz dex as carrying bolter/boltpistol/chainsword, because back then that was standard equipment, and its a feels bad now that the loadout I've been modelling all my dudes with for 3 editions gets invalidated because reasons
>>
>>54730458
That model is beautiful
>>
>>54730465
You're far too kind. Seriously, there are so many people that are SO much better at painting here.
>>
Make a new thread you casual faggots
>>
>>54730411

It would take 72 lasgun shots to kill a tarantula. Not a challenge by any stretch, but enough that it would cost one large or multiple small units an entire turn of attention.

The better bet for killing it would be deepstriking melta/plasma scions who divide their fire between it and something else.

So scout bikers seem pretty sweet. 6 shots each from the bolters and shotgun, plus they still have bolt pistol and combat knife for the extra attacks in CC. Not bad for 25 points.
>>
>>54730517
Pistol and cc doesn't give extra attacks. Stop cheating
>>
Whens the Emperor coming back?
>>
>>54730569
He obviously ment to fire the pistol in the firing phase.
>>
>>54730569
yeah, cc alone give extra attacks.
>>
>>54730569
The Combat Knife does. And the pistol was is reference to shooting it in later rounds. Please keep up.
>>
Played as dg vs da today at 1500pts and achieved a near tabling victory. Chaos stands strong

>>54730582
He never left
>>
>>54730569
What is 8th edition?
>>
>>54730458
The -1 to be hit outside 12" is raven guard and wounds of 6 get ap +1 (e.g. ap -1 goes to -2) is a warlord trait called Storm of Fire which makes the warlord have a 6" bubble of that.

>>54730517
They're really good yes. A unit of 9 would probably make every single list better.
>>
>>54730622
Storm of Fire would make sense. The idea of concentrated lines of fire. I think it was Demeter that said he wanted so much bolter fire on a target, that it would be thick enough for him to walk on.
>>
>>54730458
Your army is shaping up pretty nicely, the only thing missing might be some dedicated AT or heavy support like a predator, land raider, or vindicator. If you want to keep with the only-primaries you could also try some hellblasters or a redemptor with plasma.
>>
>>54730675
I've got a Predator inbound.
Personally, I felt as though my 15 Hellblasters would be enough for the army itself.

I have a Skyhammer Tactical Squad that's unassembled, a Razorback and a Black Reach Tactical squad that's also unassembled, but I can't think of how to integrate them into the army.
>>
>>54730288
That was the point.
>>
What do people think about Ad Mech? Picked up Cawl at the end of 7th.
Also thinking about Trygons and Raveners Tyranid force.
>>
>>54729980

Surprised somebody would paint up the Soul Drinkers. I like to think that the new founding would've included them in as a reinforced chapter.
