More Immortals. Most game stores aren't WIZYWIG anymore. Put your 20 man directly behind the immortals, @2" from base. Put your leaders in the 20 immortals. Stalker can technically be placed inside the formation due to it not having a base (I love that tactic) as long as its tiny little legs aren't resting on any bases.

So I've wondered this, sisters of battle's armour has breast cups on them, but that's hardended ceramite, and probably is such thick armour it doesn't actually curve around the chest, so that leaves a lot of questions
>is all sororitas amour the same cup size?
>are sisters given armour to match their real cup size?
>are sisters asked what size cups they what their armour to have?
>are there flat chested sisters who have armour with DD cups as a way to overcompensate?
>do they receive random sizes?
>is it like a sorority white dress type thing where all the girls are wondering what size they'll be selected for?
This is important background lore!

The problem with moving the leaders back is that I like to use them in melee. I beatstick the shit out of people with my HQ's. But I do approve of more immortals AND using warriors. I just need to get more immortals because I only have 5, and I generally dont use them over more warriors.

Switch your cryptek with Illuminor Szeras, change your Trazyn to Anrakyr, and make sure your Overlord has a Staff of Light for adaptability. Change your Lychguard to BnP Praetorians. When I say burry your leaders in the blob, put them 1-base-length behind your front line of warriors so they can charge out from the blob. Your Lychguard/Praetorians will eat a charge or charge in for Anrakyr to charge into their butt and do some melee. His +1 attack aura does affect the Praetorians (no <dynasty> tag)

SoB get their armour onces they turn into a militant Sister.
Assuming the church does not go full retard it should be around 25 years old so they are sure the SoB is no longer growing up.

Humans in power armour go full humanity fuck yeah resulting in over the top physical characteristics.
Hence why Coteaz has a triangle shape it is made manly as fuck. Same goes for SoB tits and hips are girly as fuck those and echanct.

There is a smaller bit of lore (the fuck if i remember, dark heresy rulebook maybe) where SoB rub sacred oils before putting on their armour.

TL:DR tits are for show regardless if they can fill them

I'm bored, so I'm reposting my short battle report from my game this week. Apologies if you've seen it already, just tune me out if that's the case.

+++BATTLE REPORT INCOMING+++

Short game this week. Two horde-ish armies bring played by newish players, so we barely got through 2 turns before the store started closing. This was probably more my fault given how many characters were packed into the list I was using. The game was 2000 points, my Armageddon 27th vs Tyranids of an unspecified hive fleet.

+++Armageddon 27th Iron Horses+++

Pictured is my list. After last week’s game, which illustrated to me how stupidly powerful IG can be this edition, I decided to retire that list and try something more like the exact opposite of the usual conscipts/scion combo with russ support.

Instead, I went with:

>6x infantry teams
>3x Salamander scout vehicles
>1x Ogryn unit of 4
>9x mortar teams, 1x lascannon team
>Yarrick, priest, Straken, Nork, commissar, 2x captains
>1 of each assassin and an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor
>A chimera for just about everything

My goal here was a melee-centric list that uses Yarrick’s reroll 1s ability, Straken’s +1 attack, the priest’s +1 attack, and the Fix Bayonets! order to get 5 attacks in melee per turn per guardsmen. Instead of sitting back and shooting, I would run right into the enemy’s face and pummel him with a hurricane of tiny fists.

+++Tyranid Hive Fleet+++

Here is the Tyranid list. I don’t know much about their codex, but I know he took:

>a big unit of Carnifex including Old One Eye
>another sizable units of Zoanthropes
>some biovores
>a big clump of genestealers and cultists
>2 swarms of shooty gaunts
>shooty warriors
>some huge warlord that conferred FNP and respawned gaunts

Those Carnifex in particular would turn out to be a huge problem.

+++Mission+++

The rolled mission was relic, the rolled deployment was Dawn of War (I think – the 12” from table edge one). Tyranids finished deployment first and got +1, which gave them the first turn.

I threw quite a bit of terrain on the table for this one since /tg/ feedback last game was not enough terrain. My army was definitely shootier than his, so if anything I thought it would give the bugs a marginal advantage. I did not randomly scatter the terrain and kept it balanced instead.

+++Deployment+++

As before, I put the Salamanders on the flanks with the intent to get deployment zone points and maybe harass biovores. The nucleus of my army was the bunch of characters and the 60 infantry + Ogryns, which I intended to just throw right at him and see what happened. They all went packed into the center ready to swarm the relic. Mortars and lascannons went in the backfield with the vindicare, the Culexus tailed a vehicle in the center and the Callidus and Eversor went into reserve.

I forgot to roll to seize initiative. Because I am retarded.

+++Turn 1+++

The bugs advanced in the center with almost everything, getting to within 3” of the relic. Biovores, warriors, and Zoanthropes all nuked the lascannon team right off the bat and killed all of them. A few shots were fired at the mortars, too, but only resulted in a spore mine drifting menacingly close to them.

On my turn, the Salamanders zoomed up the flanks while every single chimera emptied its passengers,then drove up behind them for support. 60 guardsmen and 4 Ogryns, stirred to righteous frenzy by the Ministorum priest, Yarrick’s speech over the internal vox, and Straken’s gung ho battlecry all moved right up to the insectoid menace. My lines ended up about 6-8 inches away, so I decided to direct all my shooting at the carnifexes, his warlord, and the zoanthropes lest he pick off lots of gaunt casualties to prevent the charge I wanted to get. The Vindicare landed 3 wounds on the warlord, the Eversor popped up behind the warriors, and the Zoanthropes were surprised to learn that one of them had been a Callidus all along.

The Eversor rolled well on his charge, but the warriors did better with 2 6s on overwatch that inflicted 9 wounds on the assassin. He went down like a bitch before doing anything at all. The Callidus had a bit more luck and inflicted 2 wounds on a Zoanthrope with her phase blade, conveniently ignoring their 3+ invul saves. The Culexus fared best of all and, charged by so many psykers around him, drilled 5 wounds onto Old One Eye with his animus speculum.

All the infantry made it into charge, eating about 10 casualties from 30+ overwatch shots per gaunt unit but shrugging off the losses and ramming in with 3 attack a piece. By the end of the bayonet charge I had killed maybe 20 gaunts, and the Ogryn had put 3 wounds on a carnifex.
>>
>>55049478
I dislike BnP Praetorians. They have the extra attack it seems now, but I just prefer the AP -3 shooting. Especially with the people that I frequently play with. I do need to get Szeras and Anrakyr still. Anrakyr is such a good character. I have yet to complete my Named HQ collection. And I still prefer Orikan over Szeras anyway because of his better beatstick ability, Szeras upgrades are a little too random for my tastes without a chance to use it a few times as test. And the Cryptek's 5+ invuln against shooting has saved me more times than I want to have had to happen.

+++Turn 2+++

The nids reeled from the unexpected charge of human fleshbags, withdrawing with the gaunts and Zoanthropes. Purestrain genestealers outflanked with cultists in tow and charged in on a mortar team, while the warlord bug advanced to tie up the guard infantry and cover the diminished gaunt swarms (really the casualties ended up about 50/50 at this point for the gaunt/guard melee). Nid shooting was light since most units were falling back or in combat, but the zoanthropes nearly smote the Callidus to death, her life spared by 4 simultaneous 4+ invul saves. The infantry took more losses, but even with morale losses kept the bugs tied up across the entire front. Old One Eye kills 3 Ogryn in a single round of combat.

(It has since been pointed out to me you can't take invul saves against smite. This was an error on our parts)

You could take a shot of your army before the game starts as like a header for it or something. I was wondering this too actually. I doubt anyone I play with would give a shit about me taking pictures but at the same time it would be awkward and I don't want to slow down an already slow enough game by taking pictures every damn turn.

IG is up. Those infantry squads locked in combat pull out, and those out line up into orderly ranks. Get Back in the Fight! And First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire! Orders cover the field and lasgun volleys chew up the already-depleted bug ranks and tack a few wounds on the monsters. The Culexus again takes 3 wounds on the enemy warlord, though his psykout grenade completely fails to wound. The Vindicare knock a few wounds off, too, and the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor dominates Old One Eye and tries to force him to use crushing claws on the carnifex next to him. All four attack miss. Finally, all the chimeras hear the mortar team getting torn apart behind them, turn around, and light up that terrain piece with heavy flamers, multilasers, and heavy stubbers, dropping all the genestealers but 1 and the broodlord.

The entire Imperial line charges back into melee. Straken compeltely fails to wound the warlord, and Yarrick fails to wound Old One Eye. Nork does headbutt the warlord for 3 wounds, though, yet it is not enough to fell the beast. As an afterthought I throw the attacks of my last 12 guardsmen at the thing and they take the last wound down, killing it with monoknife bayonets. victory is fleeting, though, as old One Eye gets his vengeance and lands 9 wounds on Yarrick, whose refractor field stops all but 2 of them. He fails one of his 3+ get back up rolls, which I spend a command point to reroll and he still fails it. Fuck.

+++Aftermath+++

At this point the store is about to close, so we call it a draw. While it’s clear the battle will swing my way when one of my many character picks up the relic and just runs away with it, all my infantry and vehicles blocking for him, at this stage of the game both warlords are dead and both deployment zones are violated. We shake hands and promise to start the next game earlier should we ever play again (2 turns took almost 3 hours).

I was disappointed with the Callidus and Eversor assassins, and the Ogryn definitely didn’t do well against the carnifexes, especially Old One Eye. It seems like I should have used FRFSRF on the bugs during turn 1 instead of charging with all my infantry, which did almost as much damage to me as to him. Then again, it did invalidate many of his units, which all fell back or were locked the following turn. Altogether it was a fun gimmick to try, but I’m not convinced it’s better than just shooting those lasrifles instead.

Straken’s buff was good, but he himself didn’t do anything at all, even with his anti-monster ability. Yarrick likewise did nothing at all – really the only characters that pulled their weight were the vindicare, culexus, and Nork, who did more damage than all the officers combined just by slamming his face into the biggest bug on the table.

Fun game, but I’m hoping to actually get a full 6 turns in sometime in the future.

BnP beats out the RoC in pure numbers (6.30 Wounds vs 5.56 Wounds on manlets, not including Anrakyr leadership and aura). And I am talking about raw tournament list, not kitchen table.

Szeras is a reliable lascannon, something our army is in short supply with and on a mobile platform (at 3+, can advance and shoot, can be given a +1 to-hit with Anrakyr leadership). Melee is nice, but you will have melee elsewhere (Wraiths, Praetorians, etc.) Don't lose sight that we are a shooty first army with a melee vanguard and leadership. Orikan is good only because of his powered up form is permanent. You get more from cover than a 5+ invuln, anyways.

Szeras' +1 strength is a joke, but 20 S5 warrior charging in on manlets after double tapping is disgusting. +1 toughness and +1 BS are the ones we really care about. So he is cocaine 66% of the time and icing at 33% of the time.

>>55049728
Szeras' +1 strength would be extremely good for Praetorians in general and Lychguard with shield. It would make them wound on 2's against most IG and Eldar units.

My heavy melee focus, which I say is a melee 'focus' but I still have the extreme amount of shooty we have in general, really lends to strong beatstick HQ's like Obyron and Trazyn. Especially Trazyn bonking characters and spitting mortal wounds at people. Since his attacks do D3 damage, the Lychguard can split attacks to whittle down any sargent or other leader to 2 wounds then let Trazyn mulch it to get the mortal wounds on everything else around it.
>>
>>55049854
You can only Szeras Warriors and Immortals

Trazyn is just an aufl HQ, and I love the guy. He has a worse Warscythe and it only does a mediocre thing if he kills a Character... in an edition where killing a regular HQ is something that happens round 3 or 4. And his stand up with 1d3 wounds on a full health Overlord or Lord with 5 or 4 wounds, is just terrible. Wait til they fix him or put him on the shelf.

How many Heavy Destroyers are you fielding? I hope you say 3 or you have a very specialized army, and not in the good way.

I will continue to use Trazyn exclusively on the his performance in my games until he finally stops doing well for me. He was also my very first named HQ. Once I get started at my new job im going to put out some money on the rest of the named HQ's and some destroyers and more immortals and at least one more group of Lychguard.

And I dont have any destroyers, someone stole them while I was at a shop in Dallas-Ft.Worth a couple months ago. I only had the 1 heavy destroyer too.

Pick whichever army looks coolest to you.

You're gonna be spending a shitload of time assembling, modeling, and painting your models, so they have to be models that you think are fuckin' rad.

Unless you have a very specific playstyle that you really like (ranged vs assault vs defensive vs whatever) because some armies do better with certain playstyles.

My ideal set of releases for Tyranids would just be two kits:

A Bio/Pyrovore dual kit that redesigns Biovores.

And a Lictor kit paired with a new elite infantry unit, possibly something like mini-Dimachaerons.

I dont play tournaments, I tried it once and had absolutely 0 fun despite placing 3rd with my unoptimal list and pissing off like 20 other people who realized I wasnt playing optimal. Monolith make Girlyman go kill with Eternity gate. Finally lost to riptides but not before I took down 4 of his 6.

I like your list. I did a 1500 point game a little while back with Yarrick and Straken and focused it around punching people. It was a blast, pic related.

I also did a list recently that was melee focused that used Celestine, a Canoness, Death Cult Assassins, Crusaders and Bullgryn and my usual Conscript blob and 3 infantry squad combo. Good fun.
>>
>>55050061
But I think that somewhat dances around my point, sticking with Orks seems to lock me into a limited number of play styles, compared to say going with chaos, which would let me use chaos marines, and demons, and knights.

Honestly, if they're willing to release new Necromunda, then I bet their willing to release plastic sisters. The initial cost of making new models is rather large, but as I said, if they're willing to take the risk with Necromunda then sisters seems like a reasonable expectation.

Something cool I realized about imperial/Eldar/chaos having access to all their armies is you can basically make legal counts as models
For example
>buy a squadron of predators and captain

While obviously it leans towards cheese it allows some cool fluffy head canon shinanigans too

I'm certainly hopeful. I wish they'd give us a date on Necromunda, so I could decide if I want to spend a few bucks on other things before it comes out. But I guess GW wants me to be on the edge of my seat ready to preorder the starter set and any additional gangs the moment they announce a date.

Pure speculation here, but I imagine its mostly ornamental and the all the same size. Given that SoB were organized as they are to get around the letter of the decree passive it makes a certain sense to extravagantly emphasize their "femaleness" with big titty armor. That means they probably picked a pretty big cup size for the armor that fits most girls and add padding on the inside to fit the owner. If there's a sister with really big tits I'd imagine she actually just gets a breast reduction.

How would I do an Eldritch being from beyond army, kinda like Eldrazi? I'm figuring heavily converted Demons, but any other ideas?
>>
>>55051136
I wanna believe that's not true, but it probably is. I figured you can get around the +4 to hit of the Tyrannofex with the reroll stratagem and ap-4 d6 dmg is strong siren song indeed. 12 plasma at +3 to hit is still pretty solid against most things too though. Plus Tyrannofex has dat sweet T8 and 14 wounds makes it a pain to remove easily when backed up with catalyst.
>>
>>55049400
Slaanesh is like the bard of the group in the chaos gods.
Tzeentch is wizard archetype.
Nurgle is cleric in D&D terms better health and harder to kill
Khorne is barbarian.

Slaanesh can't fight as well as Khorne but is better in Melee than Nurgle and Tzeentch, not as durable as Nurgle but more durable than Tzeentch and Khorne, not as good at magic as Tzeentch but better psykers than Nurgle and Khorne.
>>
>>55051254
Exocrine only has two less wounds and even when the rupture works it works out basically the same as the exocrine anyway.
>>
>>55051233
Tyranids converted with less teeth and more tentacles, like the ymgarl genestealers
>>
>>55051233
Daemons and Nids converted together could work.

>>55051310
I just dislike the fact that the exocrine is bordline useless if it has move. I get its better off parked but it can just be out manouvered. Tfex is a little less reliable but at least he can move and conduct his business
>>
>>55051310
Okay, so Tyrannofex as Anti-Tank doesn't work out too well due to gimmicky weapon not reliably dealing dmg. What about 40 str5 ap0 shots of the fleshborer hive or 2 squirts from the acid spray? Does it work better as a giant anti-infantry unit or does it just become redundant cause nids have enough of that already?

I really like the big bug and just want to find some kind of capacity for the one I already have.

Khorne rarely has psykers, it's not common and not shown in game, but in fluff there have been angry psykers turning to khorne and instead of casting spells they just use the equivalents of smite and force.
>>
>>55051084
I have one of each and regularly bring both to games. Exocrine is hampered by a stuborn unwillingness to move and needs to be baby sat with synapse as the rest of your army moves on to choppier pastures. Tfex still doesnt like moving (no shooting twice) is a little less reliable but can move with the times and isnt just stuck parked in the back and doesnt need baby sitting to much because he can just move along with the synapse every other turn or so.

Lore has also said flat out that Khorne doesn't do any psykers. It's something that the lore is inconsistent on, but generally the examples of khornate psykers are seen as odd exemptions or more usually errors.
>>
>>55051509
Exactly
>>55051522
It's usually an exception more than a rule, generally if an example of a khorne psyker is given he's usually just such and angry, violent, honorable badass that harvests so many skulls and spills so much blood that Khorne is willing to overlook him being a psyker.

No it's not. It's very consistent that Khorne hates psykers and most of the featured Khornate factions refuse to use them.

The most recent fluff is just that he sees it as cowardly.

It's for an HQ unit. Some humans reach S/T 4 (see assassins). It's not much of a stretch.

If you're complaining about the -1 to wound rolls, you should know that the harlequin Shadowseer has the same ability as an AURA effect.
>>
>>55051743
Yeah, cus they are all still used to get up close to the enemy and cut them up.
Having an axe with some degree of magic that helps you cut people in half is great.
Sitting back and casting spells from afar is not.

Having your big kill daemon engine shoot guns as he's charging at the enemy is great.
Sitting back in a predator and shooting things all day is not.

That's why no one played them back when I went to a store in 5th. A single person would occasionally pick some up, but they got them for their sister who never gamed there. Same with Grey Knights before their new codex in that edition, Dark Eldar to an extent, and generally any units that were metal-only. People avoided them because it was hard to work with and costly, especially when marines, IG, orks and Chaos marines were either almost completely in plastic or everything that mattered was plastic.
>>
>>55051768
Assassins are more modified than even marines, they're no where near normal humans.

Make them S3/T3 but give them a +1S sword, the 3++ and 4 wounds makes them very reasonably tough anyway

As a masochist who plays both Harlies and AdMin I can say with certainty that AdMin are easier to play.

Harlies hit hard but are LOT squishier and cost a lot more per model. One mistake and you're out a sizable chunk of your force. The -1 to hit and -1 to wound stuff is an absolute necessity to Harlies survival, that's simply not true in AdMin

Solid points. The Ancient would be rare or a special character.

>Straken S6 and T4 (cybernetics, but muh faith could be a substitute)
>Harker is S4
>Eldrad T4 (not human, but from a T3 race)

My point is, there is precedent for exceptional humans reaching S4/T4 levels, so it's not totally unrealistic for a single individual to have these stats.

I'm tempted to run a crusader force that counts as catachans so I can have a heroic crusader leader and some decent troops backing him up.

Anyone know of some models that work for this?

>>55052710
Unfortunately Daemons got hugely fucked over by 8th.
No shooting, Invul saves are mediocre, squishy troop choices.
Our only saving grace is we can have more psykers than anyone else, but at that point there's no reason not to just go full Tzeentch, also the only god with actual shooting.
Until Codex drops and gives us some kind of anything we're just backup for CSM.
>>
>>55052160
Since GW is dumping historical options that don't have a current model this world be the perfect time to kill the SoB range and just never release a codex.

If new models come out for SoB we're going to have months of these faggots complaining about the influx of new people playing their armies, about how the new models aren't exactly low the old ones, etc.

You should try having a game where both sides don't cluster their whole army directly across the board from each and start shooting immediately.

Might be a novel experience for you.

That's super disappointing. I remember being able to have armies of single gods and they'd at least work. I can't see an 8th edition list not getting shit on by most other armies unless you smite spammed with Tzeentch.
>>
>>55052838

You should try reading things. The list I fielded was almost entirely melee. 0 battle tanks, 0 plasma guns, 0 scions, 0 conscripts. Infantry, Ogryn, Assassins, Straken, Yarrick, Nork, and a priest. If you even looked at the report you'd see the entire guard army moved up and charged the tyranids instead of shooting at earliest opportunity. The entire game was assault on both sides.

Exactly the problem.
Daemons are usually dangerous in melee, but if with Fall Back and the new Battleshock morale rules there's no way a pure melee army can survive in 8th.
Hopefully our codex fixes this, I play both CSM and Daemons but I don't want my daemons to be relegated as CSM sidekicks.
We need warp storm table and a shitload of daemon artefacts to compete with other armies. Last two games I took my daemons to, I lost one because he was all bikes and I just couldn't catch him with my troops, and my cavalry was killed by focus fire, the second game I won, but it was a close thing because he wasn't a long range shooter and I was able to get close enough to drag his things into combat.

What does /tg/ think of my dudes?

Disciples of Purity: Specialized in fast, overwhelming strikes. They scout the weakpoint of the enemy, hit it hard, scout the new weakness made by said strike, rinse and repeat. Built their fortress world on a pleasure world, home to great artists, decadent nobles, fine foods and powerful drinks, etc. etc. due to some prophesy about a sector devastating incursion that would start on that planet. The astartes of the chapter started to interact with the nobility, which over centuries influenced them enough to have similar interest as them, art, music, food and drink, etc.

This led to many rituals and traditions being based around artwork. When an astartes proves himself a great warrior, he is given the right to ask an artist to design a modification of that astartes choosing, whether it be a unique pauldron, ornate helmet, sick trims etc. They regularly compete for pieces of artwork and the more veteran a warrior gets the more elaborate and gaudy his armour becomes. Many become fantastic duelists due to a contest held every decade by the chapter were two astartes duel each other unarmored wielding only rapiers.

The winner is selected from a pool of winners by a jury of noblemen who rate them based off of 'swordsmanship' which leads to fantastical and extravagant displays, as the astartes attempt to impress the regular humans who have never seen a real fight in their lives. This is meant to prove martial prowess as well as find those who are favored by the people. This has led to a really innefficent style of fighting, that only works because they themselves are superhuman machines of death. The astartes are quick to sing their own praises and are seen as prideful and haughty pricks by pretty much everyone who isn't themselves.

My plan is to make a small force of these guys and then whenever GW decides to release emperors children have them fall to chaos and make a chaos warband from them. Are they too emperors children?
>>
>>55052933
What the hell are they going to add to Daemons that would give us more ranged? They already gave the castrated pink horrors a shitty shooting attack. That just leaves Soul Grinders and the Skull Cannon, neither of which are all that great. And with no transports and the loss of deep strike, our foot slogging infantry are easy pickings.

The name could use a little work. It's not that it doesn't make sense so much as it makes less sense than it should - people are usually disciples (students) of people, not of abstract concepts like "purity." That are marines that learn from purity? Kinda works, kinda doesn't.

>chapter full of stuck up, pretentious and arrogant aristocrat blowhards
No problems here, this is 40k after all.

>Get more bling for heroism
You can tell Brother Arturus is the baddest mother-fucker because he has three oversized ostrich plumes on his helm and his power plant is sculpted to look like one of those armless Venus statues.

>Inefficient style of showboat fighting
Except you started off talking about how they are a rapid strike/recon force. Pick one or the other.

Overall it could use some refinement but makes enough sense, and definitely gets points for trying to be different. You put a few weaknesses in them, too, which is good. Make them joust each other and convert them with old Bretonnia bits.

That sounds like a few trolls and retards, who complain about EVERYTHING. I've seen people bitching about Necromunda models being bigger than the old gangers, as if suddenly you won't be able to use old metal gangers... or something. I actually have old metal gangers, and expect my juvie to be pretty tiny with the new models, but I don't care, I look forward to seeing new and old models together on the board. Most of the trolls don't seem to have any pics of their minis to show, and I doubt their have any sisters to show if they start stirring up bullshit when SoB plastics hit.

I don't think most SoB players will complain about new people playing their stuff, they KNOW new players will flood in once plastics hit. 20 years of demand will make that kinda thing happen. It's not like GSC being introduced in last edition, either, I can start planning my SoB army now with index rules, and try to get deals on sisters on ebay. It would just be a lot less costly to buy boxes of plastic sisters, and any normal person will know they won't look exactly like 20 year old metals, because nothing new from GW looks that much like the old style. Since we get trolls pretty often, we end up with a skewed idea of what actual players are like.

In all seriousness, I think they sound cool.

Like >>55053057 said, either they have really showy fighting or they're rapid strike force. I would pick the showy fighting because its more unique.

Fucking DO IT! If you love dreads, you make an army of dreads and you win no matter the odds!

Name them, give them unique touches in building and painting, have a more spectacular and varied army of pure dreads then most people have of mixed troops. You got this!

I make a template and edit all the pictures so I can post fewer times, and then get shit on for not having a fully painted army. I paint the entire army, and then get shit on for the type of list I bring. I change the list to be as different as possible, and then people bitch about the amount of terrain. I add more terrain, and then people bitch about the placement of the terrain.

It's like none of you want people to contribute anything at all. Why are you even here? What do you want people to offer to the conversation if nothing I do seems to be it so far?

Honestly, if any old army would actually benefit from the over designed clutter of newer miniatures, it would be Sisters of Battle. They should be overflowing with iconography, purity seals, skulls, fire, the works.

Oh, and start small, 500-1000 pts or so. Get a feel for how pure dreads will fight, magnetize at least a few of them so you have options (though if there is a configuration you just know you'll want every fight, do one up special for it). You'll get an idea of what does and doesn't work against what pretty quickly, and then you can expand from there.

My daemons need to be heaps faster to make up for how squishy they are.
The only way to win with them currently is with Spearhead detachment fast attack spam.
Daemons getting a bonus for taking max size units then being raped by battleshock even if you take a daemonic icon is just a slap in the face on top of everything else.

This was preGK 5th edition, when the SoB got their pamphlet.

You have me beat there. I started during early 4th.

I don't want to grab stuff that I'll just end up replacing when actual noise marines + hopefully more drop (whenever that is). Figured I'd grab an army that I have a secondary interest in.
>>
>>55053365
I must admit I'm increasingly tempted to run tzeeentch daemons with a big blob of possessed marines as muscle, seems like it'd be a good way to toughen up the force a bit especially as I don't want to spam horrors.

Someone put some decent work into this.
>>
>>55053458
Shit dude it works.
Dedicate the Possessed to Tzeentch and put a Herald near them to buff their strength to 6 if you want, or take a CSM Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, since their is no reason not to so you can grab the Dark Hereticus Tzeentch power to buff their invul saves, and give them rerolls to hit of 1.
That's just a single elite and hq choice that'll hit harder than most things.
But trust me as a Slaanesh Daemon player, 7 inch movement is not as much of an upgrade as you think it is.

Fresh thread
>>55053490
Now with less redundant pasta bloat
>>
>>55053485
I was thinking keeping the daemon prince the non CSM version, both for fluff reasons and because it let's him keep his ++4 as well as the buff spell that can give the possessed +1s or +1t or +1a. I'll miss out on a relic, but the rest of the csm specific stuff doesn't bother me too much. I'll have to pick up the changeling sometime too.
>>
>>55053544
Oh actually I forgot about the Tzeentch discipline in the index.
Anyway you do you man, at the moment daemons faction keywords are the name of their god and Chaos.

>>55053149
anon, I appreciate your illustrated bat-rep's.

fuck the haters...

Replied to one of the replies. The shame.

How are deathwing armies faring in Eight edition? I'm considering starting an army but i'm not convinced by the color scheme. Do successor chapters have access to deathwing or is it heresy?

Was this an Andy Chambers book? I remember it being one of my favorite codexes

Show me a better unaugmented human stat line in 8th.
>>
>>55053116
I don't think they have the authority. They're not Inquisition. If they thought it was the right thing to do they might try it on, but since they are politicos, they'll probably know it's not a great idea generally.

AWWW yeah!

You know it. Yeah, Chambers.

Higher S, less wounds, worse to hit. Debatable at best.

>Higher S, less wounds, worse to hit. Debatable at best.

I thought higher strength was the whole point?
He's a guy in a tank top who's stronger than a woman in power armor.
He's not as tough (probably because no armor) and not as accurate (being a human wielding a heavy bolter may have some influence there)
but he shows gender dimorphism of strength exists without question in 40k
>>
>>55055689
The challenge was better stat line in response to >better S, T and W

One higher S, two lower W isn't really meeting the bar. Mainly I'm interested to see what overall best human stat line is, using 40k stats to talk about -4str memes is dumb on a few levels.
>>
>>55055803

Well the canoness has power armor, so that's hardly a pure human statline.
>>
>>55053066
>>55053111
This pretty much. They have other things going on, like investigating and paper work. It makes me sad that Inquisitors in Terminator armor don't have WS2+ because with the Thunder Hammer they hit on 4s.
