Is it worth it to take a Paladin squad and attach an Apothecary to them and then another Paladin squad with a banner boy? Or is it better to put both Apothecary and Banner into one squad and then take a second squad and give them heavy weapons?

That's the point though. You can't. They fill up the entire board with bubble wrap. It's annoying as shit as you can't even fly past them because you can't land. Then you are just left in a shooting match against Guard arty with shitloads of objective secured bodies you can't efficiently kill.

I've heard that the Crons got balanced this edition, so they're not winning as easily as before.

Are they truly balanced, or have the fallen into the crevice of being balanced against unbalanced armies and now see no chance of competitive play/winning?

>>54886474
Kabalites are actually pretty drybrush friendly; basecoat black, then one or two drybrush coats of lighter shades (say dark blue then light blue or whatever) and wash to tie it all together gets you pretty decent tabletop quality results.

Vehicles are a bit more of a pain; Venoms and Talos's, anything with smaller more curved plates is easy to do the same way but I've found my Raiders a little trickier to do, flat panels are a pain to get even that way.
>>
>>54886421

To that end? No, heavy weapons are generally not worth it, seeing as for 2-3 you're already at the cost of another paladin, which will do far more. If worst comes to worst take scions, gunships, or some shooty dreads, cause GK heavy-weapons aren't worth shit aside from stormbolters and psilencers plus the strat.

They are worth taking two squads for maximizing damage in melee, so an apothecary and B A N N E R B O I are good to that end.

>>54886483
Yeah, they aren't good or anything, it's just so damn cheap and you have to kill every. single. one. that by turn 3 you've wasted loads of shooting gunning down 50-100 conscripts, only to see you've barely even killed 300 pts. of their list.

That being said knifing the tanks early on and Kringle the remaining blobs as you kill the rest does well in most things, GK stormbolters+gate of infinity does well

What the fuck are you talking about.

Just run both units and stick the characters between them so their auras affect both.
>>
>>54886585
Those units shouldn't die from normal shooting or melee ever unless you fuck up.
If they bring enough snipers to kill 1, they will be able to remove both commissars no problem anyway. Unless you hide them out of line of sight, but then numbers aren't helping you anyway.

Hey, does the javelin Speeder have 2 missile launchers or one? The profile says both, it hasn't been FAQ'd, and the model/HH rules would suggest two, but that seems like a lot of stuff.

Which one is correct? I'm looking to make mobile firebases and this looks like the shit, or an autocannon/plasma deredeo and maybe a Mortis with las/autocannons and missile launcher

Oh here's the profile if you're wondering
>>
>>54886571
If you want to make your own you will need:

1 Box Kataphrons
1 Start Collecting Skitarii
1 Primaris Chaplain.

Method:

Remove the shoulder from the Chaplain torso, and use Greenstuff to clean it up. Stick a Hydraulic Claw on there.

Then rotate the upper arm on a Breacher Claw and stick it to the other shoulder of the Chaplain torso. Use the mudguards from the Breacher as pauldrons and add servo arms to taste.

Greenstuff up a chunkier neck for a Skitarii head and powerslam that shit into the bit where the Marine's head goes. Make a backpack out of a Breacher chestplate and the radio off a Dunecrawler. And that's it. Add more pipes and servo skulls if you like.

I can't wait to test him out in battle.

Yes there is, the profile says both 'typhoon missile launcher' and 'twin typhoon launcher'. And though in past edition it was twin-linked (meaning 2 guns now), it seems like the 1 is more in line with standard stuff. I'm surprised they haven't FAQ'd this

This triggers the winglets.
>>
>>54886655
A twin weapon doesn't ever mean two weapons, it means twice the shots.

Since the typhoon launcher statline there doesn't have 4 shots, the "twin" part is obviously a mistake.
>>
So matched play rules: 50% of units must start on table correct?
If a unit is embarked in a transport the transport is deep striking what is the embarked unit counted as? Is it in reserves (it's not dep striking) or is it deployed (it's not on the table)?
>>
>>54886669
Alright then, fair enough. With that cleared up, what do you think is the best mobile firebase in the marine index? Mortis, deredeo, and scorpius all look really promising, anyone have experience with those?

That extra twin is confusing, does the points add up for a twin or just a single launcher?

Alright lads, I've gotten together some dosh and I want to start playing this shit. So far I've been thinking of getting into ad mech, two questions. Are they a well rounded noob friendly army? What colours can I paint them in that wont rape their fluff?
>>
>>54886577
How should I divide the deployment of the squads and the characters? Should I deploy one character with each squad or should I have both tag along with one squad and the other be pure falchion spam?
>>
>>54886693
See >>54886669

If there's no points cost listed for a weapon called a "Twin Typhoon Launcher" then it doesn't exist and the "twin" is a mistake. You have a single Typhoon Launcher and you pay for it once and it gets 2 shots.
>>
>>54886697
Hmmm I guess it is cheese, though this list has barely changed since 7th, the only addition being HWT since I never owned any before but other shit was more expensive it works out.

My usual setup is 2 squads of 4, one with voldus+apothecary in a Stormraven and the other with draigo teleporting in. Now, you can easily drop voldus for a fifth man since once they're together draigo helps everyone, but you do want them fairly close. Which shouldn't be a problem, as most armies deploy clustered and can be tangled in with a proper alphastrike.

Canonically they have no drop sentinels, no tauroses and only 3 tarantulas left while being just around 100 men total, been playing d-99 since their release (they are average on original release) and I played them since gland warriors>space marines and I went fluffy with them since they make use of squads that only use special weapons, something I followed through with.

Don't buy FW for centerpiece stuff. Aside from stuff like a Dreadnought, tank variant, etc., they're too rickety to trust. What's a godsend autowin one day is a 300£ paperweight then next.

But GW stuff and use FW for conversions and customizing, outside of that it's always thin ice

Me too. I have my one blob for thematic reasons and I run it almost every game.

Yep, they're pretty decent. You could certainly run a pure(ish) list of Cults, Covens or Kabals if you were so inclined, though Cults and Covens could really benefit from some anti tank support; in the latter case Scourges are reasonably fluffy and if you want to put some extra effort in you can convert Wracks as gunners on a Ravager (or Raider for that matter)

40ks cost is really how much you want it to be.
Some people drop $500 all at once on an army but you don't need to.

You can start small and build slowly, get one of the startersets to try things out. If you like it, from there its quite feasible to only invest like $40 a month into it, just get a squad or something at a time and work on finishing it before you buy the next. Its value ultimately depends on how much you enjoy building and painting minis, you'll spend a big chunk of time doing that.

You can get models second hand

The initial cost might be pretty high, because you might not have paints, brushes and tools. But after that, unless you're only buying on impulse and don't care about your money. The start collecting boxes are 65€/85$/50 Pounds and one or two of them are usually enough to build a decent force. And if you buy in the LGS, you might get a discount. Mine has -20% on almost everything 40k, so it's not that bad.
Also, ebay is a thing, you could buy poorly painted armies, strip them off their paint and do it proper.
Unless you live in 'straya, it's not that expensive.

I've found 3 of them just don't last long enough even in that capacity. as one decent turn of shooting and/melee can remove them. 6 seems to be the magic number, but 9 is even better; also fun for the simple fact that you can pretty much put 3 blasters wherever the hell you want thanks the FLY keyword. If only the Arena Champ could take a Blast Pistol too.

It had two wounds, and it managed to charge and lock Land Rider. Dave decided not to Fall Back and tried to Smite Knight down. One Smite failed and the other got denied.

>Origins
>When the Primarchs were mysteriously scattered from their incubation on Terra, the infant Magnus fell upon the remote colony world of Prospero. He could hardly have been more fortunate: a grotesque cyclopean mutant who might have been feared and shunned on any other world came instead upon a hidden planet of kindred spirits: a commune of outcast human psykers. It would not be the last time Magnus's destiny would be so conveniently manipulated.

>By the time he approached physical maturity, Magnus had grown into a giant in the psychic and intellectual, as well as the physical, sense. Then came the day that Magnus opened his cyclopean eye upon the Empyrean, and instead of channelling power from the Warp, Magnus instead saw into it, and life on Prospero was changed forever.

>The instant his single enormous eye saw into that place of power, Magnus the Red went from student to absolute master.

This was also from a time when the primarchs were all the same size as space marines. Magnus was literally this guy,

>Though his identity has been lost to history, he is said to have spoken with a passion that bordered on ferocity, and offered to the assembled council a third alternative. A psyker, he proposed, like an athlete, was a gifted individual whose native talent must be carefully nurtured. Psykers were not evil in themselves. Sorcery was a knowledge that had to be sought, even bargained for, and neither man nor paragon could be certain they had the best of such bargains. The other Librarians united around him, and proposed that the education of human psykers to best serve Mankind be made an Imperial priority. The conduct of sorcery would be outlawed forevermore as an unforgivable heresy against Mankind.

>The compromise presented by the Librarians offered both factions something, and appeared to be what the Emperor himself had been waiting for. The Emperor ruled it law without allowing any rebuttal, and the Edicts of Nikaea stand to this millennium as Imperial policy regarding human psychic mutation. But it was not the decision favoured by Magnus.

They had the same thing happen in the black library novels. Just that the emperor instead went "LOL FUCK THAT NO MORE PSYCHIC POWERS PERIOD EAT A DICK FAGGOTS" to get the readers to side with magnus.

>>54887760
A Psyker uses their own latent power to manipulate the warp into effecting realspace, the people capable of doing this are rare, and those strong enough mentally to not be corrupted in the process even rarer.

Sorcerers basically go "Gibe powers pls" to the inhabitants of the warp from lowest Daemon to the gods themselves. This generally involves making a bargain of some kind, which can be a blunt "Gimme soul first pussy" or a more subtle keikaku as Magnus fell prey to.

For obvious reasons, Sorcery is a terrible fucking idea, whilst Psykers when properly trained are mostly safe.

This was the old fluff of course, now everything is treated the same and you either love magic, or you hate it all.
>>
>>54887779
Infiltrate large units of Terminators, Berzerkers or chaos marines, charge with multiple units on T1. Can you infiltrate spawn? That'd be cool too, basically play melee Alpha Legion.

It's worth mentioning that this is why the soul-binding exists. That's what allows otherwise lesser individuals to perform the necessary psychic duties required by the imperium with comparatively minor risk of incident.

Alright then. With the philosophy that melee alpha is best alpha, what marks would y'all argue for Terminators?

I'm leaning towards a Slaanesh unit with claws or maybe a Nurgle unit w/ power mauls to try and clear hordes, and then Tzeentch or Khorne with Chainfists and Combi Melta for heavier targets.

I haven't played that much so I want to make sure I'm not going full retard before I model them.
>>
>>54887908
Depending on the model and its pose it can be mandatory, if some part gets in the way of painting something else.

Leaving bolters off marines so you can paint the torso properly is probably the classic example.

Not what I'm talking about, not hidden details. But obscured stuff
Like the marines torso, you can still see all of the breast place once tbe models full assembled, the gap between it and the bolter is to small to get a brush into and paint accuratly. You can easily see if that bit hasn't been done.

The point is there isn't a lot of good anti infantry for a lot of armies because templates got nerfed so hard .

Even good options like artillery are only open to faction s like IG who can already spam conscripts anyways.

But it makes sense. They're just dudes who got picked up and were given a gun. They don't have much if any training. If the guardfags would really cry about it, give them conscript orders which would be a smaller, more simple table. Or even have them act somewhat like servitors and require them to have some sort of officer nearby giving them orders otherwise they shit themselves mid-battle.

So with the rule here, if I take 2 detachments featuring Grey Knights, one vanguard that's all GK and one that's mixed with scions/assassins/inquisitor cause fuck yeah, do all the GK across Detachments get access to special stuff, or just the pure GK one?

>>54888830

They don't need it. See how a human has S and T 3 and an Astartes S and T 4? That's an order of magnitude stronger.

Now think that Lasguns and Autoguns are similar in destructive power to a modern assault rifle, and a bolter is an order of magnitude stronger.

I'm actually asking about Deredeo Dreadnoughts, and they have both options usable in 40k. That was just a vaguely relevant heavy weapons related image and images make my posts more likely to be noticed.

>>54888976
My oponents are mostly the same fiv players one Necrons, one Sisters/Grey Knights/Witchhunters, one orks and two Mechanicus players. Very rarely I also fight a vehicle based guard army. Though a new guy with an Emperor's Children army is getting into the game as well.
I play Marines myself.

My main concern is being able to blast down Kastelean Robots and Dunecrawlers ASAP because those faggots are mean, as well as being able to shut down enemy heavy weapons before they can do too much to my dreadnoughts.

They're nice, I just don't want to pay minimum 420 points to service them on the field.

Anywho, here's my thoughts so far-

>Draigo
>voldus
ELITES
>6 Paladins
>paladin ancient
TROOPS
>5 strike
>5 strike
>10 strike
TRANSPORTS
>asscan razorback
>asscan razorback

That's a whopping 1380 points and will form the backbone of the atmy, which leaves a lot of wiggle room for various heavy hitters. My thoughts on what else to maybe take:

>Interceptors? Are they worth it?
>Stormraven for more BRRRTTT and ferrying terminators, hell maybe even drop the razorbacks and put the strikes+voldus in that
>apothecary? Sounds like fun
>I've got a doomglaive nought, his sword and gun is pretty cheap and fun
>GM in Dreadknight? Maybe replace voldus with him?
>stormtalon looks lame when compared to Stormraven as it's 70 points more for major upgrades, but people say it's good.

What do I do lads?
>>
>>54889150
10 man Interceptors with nothing but Falchions. Your enemies will hate you. That's 40 storm bolter shots first and then getting charged by 21 falchion attacks. They're perfect for spamming and they have the mobility to make it work.
>>
>>54889143
lol what the fuck man
>>
>>54889074
Both of those are t7 3+. Lascannons. You'll get 3 wounds with the autocannons, assuming 8 hits, which they then save on a 4+.
>>
>>54889138
I just saw a review of spellcrow bits and their "pleasure knights" sonic weapons actually look really good. I was worried about them based on some grainy pics that I saw online but I think they would make great kacophoni-style blaster equivalents if you like that lool

>They're nice, I just don't want to pay minimum 420 points to service them on the field.
you get some of the most points efficient shooting in the game that deep strikes for free to boot, they're worth their (metal) weight in gold.

>HQ
>Draigo
>voldus

I'd pick one or the other desu.

>Interceptors? Are they worth it?
every penny, they aren't jump infantry so feel free to throw them in a rhino/razorback. Yes its as funny as it sounds and it works amazingly well. Let your strikes deep strike instead.

>Stormraven for more BRRRTTT and ferrying terminators, hell maybe even drop the razorbacks and put the strikes+voldus in that

put termies in storm ravens, yes they're amazing.

>apothecary? Sounds like fun
incredibly effective with paladins

>doomglaive nought
fantastic and very points efficient, can ride on a storm raven or teleport for 1 CP.

>GM in Dreadknight? Maybe replace voldus with him?
quite good but not auto take, WS/BS 2+ heavy psycannon/psilencer + NDK daemonhammer is ridiculous though.

Hmm Iron Warriors warlord trait is quite good for non msu gaming.

Normally you fear taking big blobs due to morale but that's not an issue.

And of course big unit size is best with stratagems. 10 Berserkers fighting 3 times is cool, 30 is even cooler. Same with some shooty Slaanesh shit.

>>54889479
Yes, but the stratagem to fire twice is wasted, and so are things like Prescience and other Psionic Powers, and it's more probable your adversary will finish deploy first (and so, choose how's got the first turn).

I use a big squad of 20 Noise Marines. Never had any problem with morale.

You get to drive dual heavy bolter chimera, leman russ eradicator after an hundred hours and stormlord after an thousand in tank vs tank battles. Premium line goes devildog->vanquisher->shadowsword. Have fun.

Went better than expected. A few threads ago I expressed my interest in Alpha. Seems Alpha has chosen me.

vs what, single wound T5 or less tagerts wouls be the dividing line at a glance

They're fine on strikes where they're just better heavy bolters for a nominal price bump but they're not great on non-HQ termies unless you have no other choice

It's kinda hilarious how you don't want to reroll 2s with overheated plasma.

Implying Premium line won't be Xenos Skimmers. Go ahead and drive your chimera and suddenly you get popped by a Heavy Railgun Hammerhead flying above the battlefield.

I'm still trying to tackle this question right now would the volume of fire be enough to a similar number vs high toughness models while being a capable anti horde unit
my army would lose 15 out 70 plasma shots but gain the 74 hot shot lasgun shots and gain 5 more scions
for more context these units are not part of my deep strike force they are in Taurus primes as a reserve force to make it more fluffy and weaken its first turn capabilities

>>54890173
I would, you go from .83 to 1.67 dead guys for 30 shots but you gain 3.33 extra hits. You want that alpha strike and it's not like your hellblasters are going to live that long after rapid firing unless you're already winning

Plus overheating can trigger the ancients flag which lets you double dip on your own turn, next level strats
