How the fuck do khornate followers get anything done? They're constantly filled with hatred and bloodlust, right? So how do they get hereteks to repair their armour?

How does a khornate warband manage to pilot a space vessel in order to get anywhere where there IS a fight?

Theyre a Raven Guard successor chapter with a large number of Librarians, compared to most chapters. They have a desire for assault, utilizing bikes and jump troops. When not in battle, they take on a vow of silence, only breaking it in the heat of battle, of which its usually sung. Outside of battle, they practice the arts, some in poetry, some in songwriting, etc. Theyre called the Songbirds.

Neat idea, very Gregorian. How do they communicate among themselves, sign language?
>>
>>55083180
This comes up periodically in the fluff. Basically it depends on the warband. Some retain enough discipline to more or less function out of battle, to keep getting more ammo for their tanks, to refuel their ships, to figure out which battle field is the next destination, and only lose their shit when the enemy is in sight.

Others presumably just get vomited out of the warp like daemons when Khorne wants them to be somewhere for killing.

In battle, through direct commands, usually incorporated into a general war song. Outside of battle, its mostly through notes. The Chapter's captains are the only ones allowed to speak outside of battle, due to necessary communication between Imperial forces.

Painted a missile Havoc for my Black Legion army. Just one though, the rest of the day was a massive four player Konor game. CSM and Daemons vs. Imperial Guard and Tau.

The IG/Tau won in the cheapest way possible. Waited for us to advance away from the board edge to completely annihilate the IG army, then deep struck a mob of battlesuits and commanders right in the corner by the edge. Next turn the Tau player ran off the board and won that way.

He gave the victory points to Chaos anyway.

Just as planned.

After four weeks of doing basically fuck-all and wishing I could get involved. I've FINALLY managed to get some games in on the Konor campaign.

Is it just me, or is this weeks mission seem like it was basically intended to be impossible for the attackers? If it weren't for both of my opponents being caught completely off-guard by my all dreadnought army, I probably wouldn't have won these games. On another point, All-Dreadnought lists seem upsurdly powerful this edition.

Game 1: Me as a Defender against Blood Angels. I just setup wide with some nice charge angles, and somehow managed to table him on turn 2.

Game 2: Me as the attacker against Tau.

My second game for the night was downright hilarious. I saw on the right that there was a nice set of very choice BLOS cover that would let my dreadnoughts spend a whole turn advancing while completely unmolested, while the Deredeo sniped a bunch of rail-rifle equipped pathfinders that could see my dreads.

The entire rest of the game could pretty much have been summed up as "Dreadnought Drive-By". My dreadnoughts walked forward, shot everything, charged everything that could feasibly make them move closer to the board edge. Rinse and repeat for 4 turns straight.

There's not much else to say, about the game. This is what the board looked like at the start of my movement phase on turn 4. I simply moved ALL of my dreadnoughts straight to the board edge, but did not move them off. My deredeo then bitch-slapped the commander suit straight off the table with 12 wounds.

I once read a greentext that was basically "what if the loyalists and traitor legions were flipped?" I. E., what if the Sons of Horus et all stayed loyal and the Ultramarines et all instead fell. Anyone remember that / have it on 1d4chan or something?
>>
>>55083460
That's what the blood angels player tried. And then his death company + sanguinary guard got shot+charged by 5 dreadnoughts. Rest of turn 2 was mop-up. All I had to do was spread out my dreadnoughts enough that they could feasibly reach out and gently stroke any deep strikers with their power fists.

Sorry, cropped a few together. So I had to cut off the existing exhausts on the Rhino, even it all down, then glue them on. Top view you can see where I need to add GS to fill in the gaps, and then door open to show where the magnets go. It's a pretty fucking awesome kit, though if I had known I would've just bought the FW triple Deimos package, as I think it ends up a little cheaper if you don't already have the Rhinos.

Kind of a boring pic, so I added the other thing I worked on, which was re positioning the legs on the Dread to have him running and magnetizing the arms. I think he turned out way better than the static BaC pose.

Then obviously he did a pretty shitty job if he set down so few models a measly five noughts could put them down. Try a clump of nine Tau Commanders + Crisis Suits + a Riptide jetting down the opposite side of the board, doing almost nothing but advancing and using its 3+ invuln ability.

DAKKA. LITERALLY ALL OF THE DAKKA. Give it a storm bolter and a multi-melta just for the versatility. Then laugh hysterically when someone tries to charge it, and they then eat 41 shots.

I had a game today where my LRC got to kill 3 hammernators in overwatch, and then the hammernators flubbed their charge roll. So it then got to slam another unit with overwatch fire.

Nurglings are there to tie up units early on and make them waste turns on disengaging or killing them while your troops move up the field. Plague Drones are pretty sweet, so I'd try fit them in. Might be worth trying to summon the Great Unclean One into battle as its likely to get shot up by lascannons early on otherwise.

How many Nurglings do you think are reasonable? They're kind of expensive while I'm already tight trying to squeeze 20+ model units of Plaguebearers. I can see them working out pretty well against shooty lists though.

A few little greenstuff projects were dry, and that lead to me being able to finished my two tankhammer guys for my tankbuster mob. I might make another dual rokkit slugga boy, and I have to figure out a cheap way to get some bomb squigs, but I'm pretty happy with them so far. Just enough to cram into a trukk along with a Warboss or something, so it should be pretty useful once they're painted.

If you're playing an army that is pretty much designed to fight daemons exclusively, you're gonna have a bad time.

GK are cool in theory but they struggle against anything that isn't chaos or daemons.

SM are just generally more useful and adaptable to a wider variety of armies.

Got in a game tonight, my Genestealer Cult (with some Nid allies) vs. my buddy's Space Marines. He wanted 1750 pts... but I didn't really have that much to work with, so I really wasted some points. I'll be happy to get my Orks on the table again if it's a fight over 1500 pts. Mission is "No Mercy", so no objectives, just murder.

By the end of turn 2 here, I deployed my genestealers and Patriarch in the center building, and Primus (and his now dead squad) in edge by the bottom of the pic. I was taking some serious damage all around, including losing Old One Eye and all my termagaunts (the latter giving him first blood). I get his terminators and landraider tied up in combat, and his tactical units are locked in with aberrants and the few acolytes I have from a chimera he blew earlier in the turn.

I did get to cripple his terminators with Mass Hypnosis, and buff the genestealers with Might From Beyond. Killed the terminators down to a man, and began really working on the landraider which only had minor damage until then. His sternguard and my tyranid warriors just sorta taking potshots at eachother, with my big neophyte squad backing them up. The Magus eventually switched tactics to just hitting the sternguard with Smite, which fucked them up pretty good. My aberrants didn't do great in combat, honestly, only killing about a guy each turn. My acolytes were killed by his captain, but not until getting a single hit with a Heavy Rock Drill that did 4 damage... almost killed him in one hit. My poor Primus (who I forgot could reroll his ambush roll, so he didn't have to get stuck out on the edge like he did) got gunned down hard. Thus dies the space equivalent of Tom Cruise.

I forgot to take pics, but his assault squad charged in, killed maybe 1 genestealer, and then got fucking murdered, along with the last terminator and the landraider. I was feeling pretty good about things, and was confident I'd table him... until his landspeeders came in from reserves. His whirlwind fellback, so my genestealers were just out in the open, and got fucked hard. Going from losing all of 4 guys after several rounds of close fighting, I suddenly 6 stealers to a barrage of fire. This loses me the bonus attack for having 10 or more, and the next turn I fail to summon Might From Beyond. Out of command points, I just have to deal with it. I do kill all his sternguard with a smite, but the new landspeeders also make short work of my neophyte squad and wound my Magus. Everyone else gets killed hard, as well as my last chimera.

In the end, my patriarch kills one tactical squad, but is cornered by a lot of heavy fire. It's pretty rough, losing my cult's own L. Ron Hubbard, but they'll be back. The Magus gets finished as well, and it's an official tabling.

I got a better idea of a few things I messed up on, and should do better next time... in part because I'm going to buy 3 boxes of fucking genestealers and just have them pop out of vents and shit. Beyond that, I'll see if Nids or Guard get their codex first, I want to work on a much better thought out back up detachment (the nids I brought were really just some I had lying around, it's not really a planned out force). Good experience though.

Eh, I run walker spam. It's fantastic against some lists, and absolutely terrible against others.

Did a 3 game tournament yesterday at my FLGS.

Big Mek w/KFF

Morkanaut

Gorkanaut

3 Deff Dreads

4 Kans

4 Kans

Meka-Dread

First game was against Death Guard and I ran over the guy. Think I lost a Kan?

Second game was against Chaos and whilst it was a little bit closer, I still got a comfortable win. Lost the Morkanaut to a squad of Berserkers.

Third game was against Salamander space marines. I killed maybe 10 models, 7 of which were guardsmen. I got completely stomped. Did manage to kill Vulcan with two exploding Kans, which was hilarious for both of us, even though the game was well decided by that point.

And that's the thing about the list. It is hard countered by a lot of other lists out there.

There's only a few genuinely OP FW units and most of them aren't any more OP than shit that's in the codexes/indexes.

Would you feel the need to warn your opponent that you were taking Bobby G? If not then bring anything short of a Titan without worrying about it.

Just make sure you have the rules with you. Don't be one of those faggots that mis-remembers the rules (accidentally or on purpose) and then perpetrates this myth of all FW being OP.

I'm hoping that it doesn't show laziness on GW's part towards how they're handling the codex. Then again I'm also hoping that it's just a mock-up and they're keeping the actual art underwrap for one reason or another so I'm pretty well prepared to be disappointed.

I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't a mock, the only reason I could think they would only show off a mock-up now is if there was something new on the cover that hasn't been revealed yet.

Yes one of the crucial differences is that an Imperial walker list has a) firepower, b) the potential for invulnerable saves. Hence it would be far mor-

> 145 points for a Ven Dread with a Giant Axe and a Storm Shield

Hold on a second. Hold the fuck up. 145 points. One of my Deff Dreads with 4 power klaws is 149 points. I'm actually going to look up what this comparison is.

Holy fucking shit.

So the Venerable hits on 2+ instead of 3+, has the same strength with a Fenrisian Great Axe, has -4 AP instead of -3 and does D6 dmg instead of a flat 3. Oh, and it gets Chapter Tactics, a 3++ invul save and on a 6 it ignores wounds its taken.

The Dread gets one more attack and can reroll failed charges. No invul. For 4 points more.

I'm honestly speachless right now. I knew Deff Dreads were bad but this is almost hilariously bad.

Are non-Horde Ork armies any good?

I've got a Necron army at the moment and I want something that's not all cold steel.

I initially wanted to go something opposite of Crons. Instead of a slow moving tide with decent firepower I wanted a hordey army (except not Guard or Nids). Look at Orks and their mech and vehicle units look really fun to paint.

I was thinking of mechs, vehicles and less-but-more Orks. Like Lootaz and Nobz.

Seriously, the Khorne player at our store is still buttblasted from the time his Scorpion thingie got wrecked in a single phase of combat by Gabriel Seth...or the time his DKOK were tabled by Tyranids...or the time his "my daemons come back on a 3+ everytime they die" army was tabled by three 1000 point armies vs his 3000 point one.
No offense forgefags, but you do have the tastiest tears, along with WAACfag tears. I assume thats why people compare the two so often.

They can be taken solo, but you're going to have a very similar army list to any other Harlequin player due to a small variety of units.

They're pretty good with brutal melee, good transports and great mobility, but they're potentially very fragible. ++4 on everything which is nice, and the Shadowseer has an aura that makes to wound rolls against them -1, but they're still T3 1W infantry so with enough shots they'll go down.

tldr; pretty good melee glass cannons

I'm interested in starting an Alpha Legion army, but I can't seem to find their opinion on daemons and daemon paraphernalia in the fluff. I've got a hard-on for Forgefiends but have no idea how Alpha Legion feels about such things and whether I should just field predators instead

Alpha Legion aren't really known for that kind of stuff, BUT they're pragmatic enough that it wouldn't be impossible either if there was sufficient reason. Especially if you drew upon the earlier fluff and/or splinter factions which were less tacticool mystery men and more driven warriors who enjoyed pitting themselves against worthy foes (though more in a strategic/tactical sense than the classic khornate sense)

Basically so long as everything in your army shares a faction keyword, you're good.

Faction keywords can be broad like <IMPERIUM> or <CHAOS> or more specific like <IYANDEN CRAFTWORLD>. Codexes thus far have given special rules for having more specific groupings like Space Marine Chapters, which will presumably continue

Personally It's 20 Fulgurites. They're nowhere near as fast, but they're exceedingly good at beating up big scary things when they come and try to bully my bloops. Also, Primarchs can't resist the temptation of charging into melee even when they'd probably do better standing off and buffing, and neither Guilliman or Magnus can withstand a full charge from these boys.
I do kinda want one of the big Forge World flyers, though. Marauder is sexy and good, Stormbird is gloriously hueg but I have no idea whether the rules for it are any good in 8e.

>>55084516
i tried letting them run across the field but if the enemy gets first turn and has stuff in Reserves coming in thats geared towards killing marines then those berzerkers are pretty much gone.

Imperial armor. Also as a new player I'm already looking at forge world stuff.

Think the Genestealers would take that one, they're extremely good at blending light infantry so I'd lose most of my dudes before I can land hits back unless I did some pretty major screening.
Would still be pretty awesome.

>>55087155

Easy enough to find the rules, but the Stormbird was a tad janky last edition and I have no idea whether it's worth the points this time around.
Still, given the weapon mounts that an anon recommended have magnet spots in them I can rig it up to switch between Marauder Destroyer and Stormbird loadouts with a little messing about. Marauder looks like a nice 2.5k Lord of War pick that isn't the Knight, Guilliman or Baneblade everyone else seems to use, and I love the "flying fortress" look.

>>55087174

They don't have to catch them, they have to stand around my dakkabots and Kataphrons and say "No, you don't melee here" to Primarchs, melee deepstrikers, Tyranid melee monsters, Leviathans and such. Guilliman is still dangerous at range with his buff aura, but I can deal with a Marine army at that distance, and Magnus smiting and casting is bad but not anywhere near as bad as him leaping on my gunline with Warptime and beating it all to death. If I keep them at range while they slowly burn through the 5++ 5+++ for a few turns I can handle them with my big guns.
If they do get to kill anything they suddenly all have Storm Shields too, which turns them from squishy infantry into a massive sticky blob of essentially 2.33++ megadaemons which will take FOREVER to kill.

No, because you are comparing S6 vs S5 in a case and S5 vs S4 in another. S5 is a lot better than S4 because it wounds T4 on a 3+ and T8 on a 5+. S6 instead is only better against T5 and T6, which are much rarer compared to T4 and T8.

Tell me how you did that gradient. I'm new to painting and want my Dark Eldar to look pretty
>>
>>55087629
I see your point. Thats a shame since they're actually pretty cool looking axes. My most common opponents are Death Guard and Stealer/Zilla heavy nids so I guess they really wouldnt be that great. Maybe I can convert them into neat looking mauls somehow...

Actually looking at them there are a few hammers! Im still in business! Its pretty much this sprue x7 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Games-Workshop-Warhammer-Dwarf-Warriors-Shields-Weapons-Bits-Sprues-Dwarves-GW-/263027027023?hash=item3d3da1ec4f

katy here, stay out of houston for your own good. i almost wrecked my car yesterday driving someone home through some deep water.

>>55087611
yeah, assaulting still takes a lot of work. i kinda wish quicksilver did more because i might be fast but i can't take a punch on seekers
>>
>>55087658
>lootas
Don't worry, they suck in melee. Just hit them over the head.
>>
>>55087672
You can still go for axes, they are literally equal against marines. They are worse only against T4 with a save of 4+ or worse, and better against terminators.

Also, let's be honest, if you are giving a melee weapon to your officiers, Axes vs mauls aren't going to have a difference enought to swing a game.

I'd say go with what you like best.

Hope all of you steers and queers make it out safe and dry. I remember the one that landed one town over a few years back here in MA. I dont wish that on anyone. Mt Tom is STILL mostly bald

>>55087717
Noted. Im the guy known in my store for abusing the hell out of Heroic Intervention for free swings so I dont mind spending 20 points on my lists to make that worth it. I use infantry over conscripts on principle so I usually have more than a few CC to handle all the extra squad orders. Thanks for the advice.

How should you approach getting into a warhamer 40k group? I really feel out of place at my local store.
>>
>>55087759
Where at, friend?

>>55087759
All normal people do

>>55087759
Find the biggest looking guy there
Walk up to him push his army on the floor and punch him in the face. It establishes your dominance and breaks the ice

The owner of the store is... really reserved and doesn't seem to show emotion at all. Seems like a nice guy though. Others seem really political and sometimes a bit overly emotional....

I really don't know what to expect with 40k players. I just want to meet someone and maybe share a pizza while playing (and probably losing) a 40k game.
>>55087772

Ah prison rules.

>>55087805
Sounds like a your average autism.

I don't know what you expected from people who spends thousands of dollars on plastic.

Question.

Thinking of starting a word bearers army.

Is a dark apostle to sit witha squad of 40 cultist a good option?
>>
>>55087840
You would be better off with Iron Warriors DA, ironically, as they have moral immunity aura.
>>
>>55087410
So 7th is only not shit if you change everything?

So 7th is shit?
>>
How is the ad mech doing in 8th?
>>
>>55082993
>tfw you live in a place where shit is eternally humid
>>
>>55087881
I called 7th edition shit specifically.
>>
>>55087869
In the specific situation of running cultist, yeah Iron Warriors would be better. However, the idea is to run Word Bearers.
>>
hey so i'm collecting a IG army. been painting and collecting on and off for the last 20 years or so but haven't really played a game since 3rd edition.

I have 50 dudebros, a leman russ, command squad and a commissarand I just bought 2 heavy weapons squads. I gave the first squad lascannons. Should I give the other one autocannons, rocket launchers, heavey bolters or double up on the las?
>>
>>55087923
>7th edition was fine if you were smart enough to fix it.

Hmmm.
>>
>>55087934

Either the Heavy Bolter or the Autocannon is a valid choice.
>>
>>55087958
Fixing it directly implies it was broken.

I don't know what so hard to understand.
>>
>>55087891
If you're thinking of starting them, they're getting a codex in September.

Dont know how accurate it is and i havent versed them since 8th but they look solid. Apparently no middle ground with units, everything is either hot garbage or incredible which hampers you from building varied lists. Also dakka kastelans can put out a disgusting amount of shots, 18 s6 -2ap with the right protocol activated.
>>
>>55087965
>>55087934
I have never been a fan of heavy bolters on guardsmen but i really like the versatility of autocannons in 8th
>>
>>55087634
Hope you have insurance
>>
Possibly new GK Player here. So dreadknights look like shit, but are they any good stat wise?
>>
>>55087990
and where I can see what is garbage and what is not?
>>
>>55088097
They were rape in 7th. Not so much now, unfortunately.

If you're not playing competitive. They are just fine.
>>
>>55088097

They're good line-breakers and can take a fair beating.
I'd keep as far away from Meltas as you can though.
>>
>>55088097
Pretty good now you can put grandmasters in them.

Heavy bolter is the way to go. They made them good in 8th.

Have fun.

New thread... ffucking hell page 10, 520+ posts and 11 hours old. You guys suck at new threads
>>
>>55088141
I dont play admech so all i can say is just do a bit of research mate. But inwouldnt invest to heavily on the current rules. Your getting a codex soon and rules change from edition to edition. Just get units that you think are cool and theu will serve you well for years to come.
>>
So am I missing something with orks? I thought their way of coping with the lowest BS is by making it up with rate of fire? But their usual rate of fire isn't any higher than average. So my anti-tank is just krak missiles that hit on a 5+?

Don't see the problem TBQHfamalan. And what's so bad about 520+ posts in a single thread?

7th might have been the worst edition
