Lore question about fortifications for you gents. So I get the idea that for some structures, they literally drop the pieces from Orbit right before the battle. Do they usually stay there after or of there precedent of a Guard Company picking up their Bastion or Strongpoint after a campaign and bringing it with them?
I want to personalize a fortification but it would seem a bit weird to see the same building on each world my Regiment visits. Especially something as big as a strongpoint.
If my regiment was dirtpoor and only had one they really valued, would it make sense to pack it up after every campaign?

Take a tripod from the heavy weapons sprue, a flag from the command sprue, and an appropriately sized base from any sprue you deem fit (larger ones being more stable)

Depends on the manager but in general no, I've seen plenty of grey models in my GW and I've even played with a half-built Knight. The 3 color 'rule' they have is so they can take pictures of the games and promote the store/game.

My local GW is about as bad as it gets apparently, no "proxies" or conversions that aren't just gluing different bits on a Termie or something or are even slightly not WYSIWYG, hardly any tables, manager is a reasonably nice dude but his assistant is a twat, etcetera. Even they say that unpainted models are fine, or they'd never get any games since about 2/3 of people have almost entirely grey stuff. I'm trying to improve there personally.

On an unrelated note, would an Ork or Marine player have spare Power Klaws and Killsaws/Thunder Hammers and Power Mauls at all? Trying to get some suitably smashy weapons to arm my electropriest servitors with, since I only have ten or so Kataphron claws and a few Arc Mauls. Thought I'd mix it up a bit.

>>
>>54871217
A marine player should have Thunder Hammers. Either from the Terminator box or the other ones - I think even the Devastator box has one.

>>54871218
Impalers or Shock? I'm in the process of converting a brood of 3, wondering if I should go Shock.

Can I get some feedback on 2k Grey Knights?
In theory this looks sound but I am not so sure.

>Grand Masters in Nemesis Dreadknights
They are both meant to be heavy hitters with a 3+ Invulnerable when their spells go off which is easier since everyone is from Grey Knights so I get a +1 to my Psychic.
Will hang out in the TP Chamber until I need shock factor.

>Strike Squads
They may be small but they have a use in terms of psychic powers teleporting my units early on to catch my enemy off guard.
If my opponent has a lot of infantry bodies I can at least send themselves forward and just throw in Storm Bolter shots.

>Paladin Squad
Meant to bash strong targets and multi wound models while being extra resilient because of potential spell buffs.
They will ride in the Stormraven most likely in order to have a fast transport.

>Purgation Squads
They are transported by the Razorbacks and will usually use them for cheese cover.
They disembark and but a the Razorback between them and the enemy in order to hide LoS then use Astral Aim to shoot the target. Throw on the once or twice weapon buff stratagem and I get 24 S5 AP1 shots.

>Stormraven
Was originally a Land Raider Crusader but I realized since I changed from Terminator characters to baby carriers that they don't need the extra space.
Then weapon package helps me with my anti vehicle or big guy needs.

>Razorbacks
Simply used as vehicle hate and are meant to be teleportered without moving in order to land Lascannon shots without move penalty.

>>54871286
Thousands Sons get rounded down and stomped in melee because you don't have enough models to stop the enemy and you literally are the slowest faction in the whole game.

Thoughts on my Carcharadon list? This is what I have so far but I'm willing to mix and match between the list. The only thing that I do absolutely want to keep is Tyberos and the Imperial Knight, otherwise I have sort of tried to build around those two. I'm not sure if the stuff on the tactical squads will be any good but I think it might work.

Normally my leader gets an name and at least some kind of backstory; my Big Mek Dred Mob boss for instance is a mysterious masked merc who sells his troops to the highest bidder; he actually just got kicked out of his old klan for using the bosses favourite grot in a supacharged Killa Kan experiment that blew up.

Secondary characters and others like vehicles and squad leaders sometimes get back stories, especially if they do something cool in game, or other times to flesh out my leaders background (my Archon is secretly banging the Sybarite, etc)

Yeah, after a google it looks like Vanguard Vets have the most suitable ones, and Deathwatch if I can make the two-handed one fit. Store has a Bitz Box that I'm fairly sure he does open to customers and the manager does play Deathwatch, so I'll ask him.

>>54871155
Even though I play a fairly casual army composition to begin with, I tone it down so my opponents will have fun too. I win about 60% of my games, but they are usually down to the wire, so I know if I bring some extra hard hitting stuff, the games won't be as close. I have yet to play against some of the hardcore players in the store, so I'm not sure how my casual lists will fair against them. Could be a waste of a couple of hours as I get stomped. I already got stomped by a Custodes player who brought 1000 points to a 750 point game and a Custodes Land Raider. I had an extra casual list that day and it was brutal.

What was your list like? I have some Scions I want to build to add to my melee Guard+Ministorum army. Right now I avoid using too much artillery and I also stopped taking Celestine.

Try to see if she likes painting. If she does, eventually "gift" her a few figs, a boxed set here and there, until she has a sizeable army.

Alternately, try to get her into Dawn of War. I know a lot of people who got into the TT from DoW.

That should be fine. Strike squads should ride in the razorbacks until they're close enough to get out and charge.
I play Tau and have a tough time scalpeling out GK stuff. I'm considering going all fusion and melta against them because my volume fire stuff has such a tough time eating through all the armor.
That 3++ on the dreadknights is going to be a serious headache for anyone to chew through.

Back in 7th I ran a list with a knight, marines and deathwatch. Me and a buddy decided on a 2500 point game with max cheese, and I gave him some next level shit.

The list would deepstrike in a squad with MMs and then a squad with frag cannons. This managed to kill my opponent's knight turn 1.

The rest of the game was spent having the knight stomp over his daemons and grav bikers kill his marines. He also had a bloodthirster which tried to charge my knight, but was straight up killed by warpstorm.

>hfw

7th were dark days.

He didn't understand the wargear points, so he brought like 740 points without wargear options. It was his second game I think.

Orks player here, although I've played and long sold off Tau and Tyranids but still have a small collection of Craftworld Eldar.

My Ork Stormboyz Nob was the center of a Killteam Campaign I participated in for several weeks so of course he's got a name and backstory. He's Stormboss Tuffnutz, as he's one tough nut to crack (gave him 4+ armour in the Killteam game)

Otherwise, I've got a couple name for a few of my warbosses (out of nine). One, blue Mega-Armored Warboss formerly with a lucky stikk is called Marneus Calgork (because he's big and blue). This pair of a Warboss w/ a PK riding on a boar is called the Boarboss, and his boar is Wildeyez. Otherwise, I don't bother making up or remembering names for the rest of the units if they aren't already a named unit like Ghazghkull or Grukk. My custom Big Mek w/KFF and regular one remain nameless, along with painboyz, Nobz with Waaagh! Banners, and the Weirdboy I have. The first Warboss I've had (from AoBR) I named Gol Dukat, from DS9.

I don't name vehicles, except for this one Dakkajet that is yellow, very decorated with freehand, that I call "da flyin' Squig" because of the mouth and eye design. I try to include that as often as I can, but unfortunately Dakkajets are kind of underwhelming in the game right now.

Aeldari that I have were given no names, overall I have an autumn scheme going on with them.

Tyranids that I had by and large had no names except for a Trygon we called Ziggy.

Tau had individually named Crisis suits, in the T'au way of giving names, with a backstory of them being from a moon's system (and carrying moon camo) and I've long forgotten them.

I've never given names for the banded together forces and armies I field.

I personally find it a bit cringy but commendable if you individually name every squad.
>>
>>54871382
part of the problem is people don't know all the rules off hand. if you have to spend a few minutes double checking range, strength, ap, damage, etc for your dudes it gradually adds up. 8th might have shaved down a lot of rules but i'm about as fast as i was in 7th or any other edition. besides the pregame bullshit i had to do for daemons

interesting
reminds me of the time i played dark angels with the shroud car with like 6 land speeders sammy boy and a techmarine on a bike with the toughness 9 imperial knight
I shit on the whole army and ignored the knight on my turn one but then the knight proceeded to killing my whole army by him self.
on the final turn i had to take out the last 2 wounds with 15 supercharged plasma shots but failed and he won the game
i was a lil salty that it didnt die but that 5++ 6++ heal wounds on a 5++ saved the day

>>54871637
Twin Assault is the good allrounder option and better than the twin bolters if you have the points to spare. Twin Lascannon is for if you want another anti armor tool in your arsenal, Razorbacks are sturdy enough that it'll normally get off a shot or two especially if you have more pressing targets.

Worth noting that the Razorback box only comes with Heavy Bolter and Lascannon options, so you'd need to convert or have the parts for the Assault Cannons for WYSIWYG

Good morning, 40kg.

I'm building a list around Yarrick, and would like your input. The guy's as much as a leman russ - 130 points - but has all the commissar abilities, relieving you of the need to buy one of those (30 points). You have to make him worth the other 100 points, though, even fighting something not Orks.

Best I can figure to do is put him down, then surround him with stuff to take advantage of his 6" reroll 1s aura.

>50 conscripts to his left
>50 conscripts to his right
>2 sentinel squadron to his front left
>2 sentinel squadron to his front center
>2 sentinel squadron to his front right
>3 leman russ behind him (probably plasma because reduced overheat)
>1 priest to add +1 attack to all infantry
>2 astropath for 2 castings of psychic barrier
>1 primaris psyker for backup casting and smite/gaze
>1 company commander for 2 orders/turn
>3 scions/infantry squads to hold backfield objectives

This would fill every slot for a battalion, giving 12 command points.

Deployment is basically Yarrick, commander, priest, and psykers in the center and all the other stuff orbiting that pocket to get rerolled 1s except the scions/infantry squads.

What do you think? Functional? Fair? Powergamey?

I rarely seem to get actual advice in these threads, but I'll ask regardless:
Going for a Chaos brigade detatchment focused on Renegade Guard supporting CSM run as alpha legion, what is the best troops choice for filling things out? Renegade Militia seem a bit too poor in the shooting department, and cultists exist in both lists with 4+ shooting, but they're more restricted in weapon options and then you have to choose between running them from CSM for marks and legion bonuses, or as renegades for a covenant of Tzeench for overwatch on 5+ to hold objectives. Probably won't use mutant rabble as I want an organized regiment of heretics. Thoughts?

Also, local meta is alot of vehicles and LoW, I plan to have a Chosen squad full of Combi-Meltas hunting such things, but if I ever need to change is it worth magnetizing the combi/special weapons? I planned to do it for the Havocs as well, may be good to do it for my combis and terminators.

How are my fellow death watch anons running their kill teams? I'm mostly just using regular marines and maybe a vanguard vet to jump out of combat and use my frag cannons.

Any anons throwing terminators in there? I'm finding I'd rather just run them as a terminator squad to take advantage of deepstriking, especially since my teams are small enough that leadership isn't really an issue anyway.

Mutants are the best proably, simply becuase they are so cheap. Also bonus fluff points for the alpha legion supporting a mutant uprising and then useing them as even-more-expendable expendable meat shilds
buuuut if you are held to not wanting mutants, go for cultist, they are 4 ppm in the codex, so cheaper than militia, which is what you want. fill the HS slots with either mortar HWT or a shit-ton of artillery.
Really think about weather you want to use chosen as special weapon caddies, whislt they get an extra gun (6 on chosen vs 5 on havoks) they are slightly more expencive. For melta/flamer the attack is worth it, for plasma it is not.

I've done something similar and I must say it works super well. I like where your head is at.

Night lords would go really well with the bunch of old and new raptors i want to use but i'm not sure if i have the skill and patience to paint lightning on all of them. I really like the word bearer and iron warrior paint schemes too but their legion traits feel so underwhelming. Emperor's children are also nice but getting my hands on noise marines without resorting to third party bits is proving really difficult and expensive.

I once saw some mad cunt of a tyranid player who used magnetised rippers on the base of his big monsters as wound counters (removing a ripper each time the MC lost a wound). Couldn't be bothered to do that myself, but though it was pretty neat.

Possibly less feasible with the higher wound counts of 8th edition, though.

getting into painting the chadmarines half of the first strike set i got to get into the hobby. my guys are a raven guard successor, originally from a feral ice world but had left the planet uninhabitable from a war between a minor Ork Waagh and the entire chapter, leaving the chapter with two companies and now reduced to operate from their small fleet.

i wanna get a chadmarine chaplain cause they look cool but really im gonna try to get a couple beakie-only tactical squads instead of having all these 32mm chads.

So I have a question about D3 damage versus multi-wound targets.

Lets say I do 3 wounds to a unit of Custodes and each wound causes D3 damage. I roll a 6, a 3 and 1. So now he has to allocate 3D, 2D and 1D wounds. Can he apply the 2D first, then the 3D to that model so that the next model only takes 1D?

Scroll about halfway down the page.

>>54873681
You resolve them 1 at a time.

So if you roll in that order, you kill two.
>>
>>54873638
Some elite and specialists units were still being done in metal at the time of the DE refresh.

>>54873698

So who benefits if you roll them all at once? Does the targets owner distribute them or the shooter? Not original asker just curious

This was going to be my follow up. I usually roll them all at once. I guess I should start rolling them one at a time, because then if I roll 3 damage right off the bat, it's good for me. I guess it could work against me, but I just don't want a ton of wound trickery where I roll enough damage to kill 2, but only end up killing one.

Good and as intended to stop insane amounts of OP zerker spam.

Chaos players need to accept they're just inferior players and stop trying to go back to the days of 3.5 when the only reason they ever won games was because of their overpowered codex and zerker spam. Ever since then they've just whined and whined instead of getting good. (Even when they got the hugely overpowered helldrake, cultist spam and tzeentch demon princes )

Now the konor campaign is proven even in the most balanced edition yet where they have a bunch of new toys they suck shit at winning games because they focus too much of their energy on whining instead of playing.

to be fair the only NEW stuff is the Blight Drone and the DeathGuard lord.

I mean I agree with your sentiment Chaos can do some dumb shit with renegade legion Biker Contemptor and Cultist Spam. I guess the issue lies with the fact that the Choices that make Chaos Unique are usually mediocre to horrible like Possessed or Daemon Engine or them trying to play their CSM exaclty like normal SM.

not all paint is the same. paint for canvas or craft is different then miniature paint. it can be done but it's not suggested. i have a specific pink i get from canvas paint

Taking Daemonettes wont fuck your allegiance over but the daemonettes themselves might not be pickable for most stratagem as they usually refer to <EC> or <HereticAstartes>

Unlike GW might want you to believe you arent as much of a full Melee Force.

You have excellent moblie shooting with Noise Marines and Bikes and only want to charge if your opponent has better shooting than you do. In doubt Spam more Bikes and Noise. Note that Bikes arent great in CC but its still usefull to use them to bind shootier-infantery as theyre likely to fall back due to your toughness and how difficult it is to pile in a decent amount against 3 Models

Raptors are nice as a Disruption Unit against smaller vehicles shoot with Plasma/Melta then charge, denying them from shooting next turn, If they dont fall back you do shoot again and charge them again etc.

Warp Talons do similar stuff against weak infantery like conscripts, They cant throw a bucket dice of Overwatch because you ignore it, then Rip them a new Asshole

Against some Big guns (Contemptor) Dreads and Predators are your friend. But also keep in mind that you can use the Shoot-Twice Stratagem on a Buffed Squad with 4 Las/autocannons for maximum Havoc

Cultists are never a bad Idea to bring a bunch off either

pod walkers, just cover up any more open wounds and away you go

>>54874373
The thing is, the Plaguecaster has access to the Nurgle lore while the Sorcerer has access to the CSM lore. Since the CSM lore is (currently) much better, he is most useful if you want a buffer. However, between the Plaguecaster's powers, his grenade and his Pestilential Fallout ability, he can toss out a lot of damage, especially mortal wounds.
So, depends on what you want him for. Fantastic buffs? Sorcerer. Mediocre buffs and lots of damage? Plaguecaster.

Lads can someone please give me a rundown of whats happening with Daemons?

1. I can if I choose too, run a list with both CSM and daemons using the chaos keyword using the CSM codex and then the index for stuff like bloodrushers, correct? There's no weird rules for this like allies or something? Can I literally just run bloodcrushers in a CSM army with index datasheets no problem?

2. Will there be a book dedicated just to Daemons coming?

3. If there is a daemons book coming does that mean I can make a list using both books no prob like in question 1?

>>54874478
Well, the other weapons cost the same now, so the claws aren't a no-brainer anymore. They still give him the most attacks though, so I'd still prefer them. I mean, higher maximum damage doesn't count for much when anything above D2 is usually overkill.

If you mix and match you lose your Legion Tactics. As everything needs <Legion>. But I *believe* so long as all DETACHMENTS are pure you'll be good.

>2. Will there be a book dedicated just to Daemons coming?
Sounds like it. Either we'll get a Codex Daemons or Death Guard will be Nurgle (Marines + Daemons)

This, plus Slanneshi warlord trait can get him up to 11, or just take the +1A WT. plus chaos boon can get him boosts on top of everything, though it's dodgy.

So yeah, you're looking at 9-11 S10 AP-2 D2 attacks hitting on 2's and rerolling ones, plus for 2CP you can VotLW and be wounding anything short of a Titan on a 2.

This has been answers before by GW. If it isn't in the codex but in the index, you can use the index profile. So yes indeed, you can use the bike option from the index if not included in the codex. Had there been a bike option in the codex however, you would have to use that entry(with all pro´s and con´s that follows regarding rules, points and profile), so you can't "pick and chose" so to speak.

Im no hardcore rule lawyer, yet I see knowing things like this as mandatory to even begin playing the game.

fallen can join either imperial or chaos armies because they have both keywords but honestly the "fallen" unit itself is limited and not that great so just do what I and many others have done and model up some pre-heresy dark angels and make lists using only units that have imperial/chaos counterparts such as god hammer land raiders, predators, rhinos, devastators/havocs, assault/raptors, tactical marines. Its not hard but it takes a bit of book keeping to have a playable army that can switch sides on a coin toss
>>
Do rules like "All models in the same combat add +x to whatever skill" or "All models within 6" get to reroll whatever" does that apply to the unit giving this bonus as well?

So like how High Marshal Helbrecht gives +1 Strength, does that mean he too would have 4+1 strength so he gets to hit at S5?

Problem is that when you finally buy your AM.... This feeling will come again, and again, and again.
This is nothing new and will come every once in a while. I stay stick with your DE, paint a few and get the feel for them on the battlefield. I can guarantee you, that within a week, you will have forgotten about AM and moved on to another eye candy you want to start with. The key here is having the willpower and stamina to push through these times. If you don't, you will soon join the quire of all those claiming GW is so damn expensive... No wonder (buy, sell, buy, sell, buy, maybe sell but buy new stuff anyway, buy, buy more, buy some more stuff).
