>>55199736

Speaking of legit custom characters, I tried to make one for a campaign i'm going to be in come a few weeks time. I run a fast SM chapter with a shitload of jump packs and psykers/melee units, and nothing really catered to that for me. I don't want to make it too OP, and we're limited to making them worth 200pts. Does this fit the bill?

Chapter Master Valeri

M 12"/BS: 3+/WS: 2+/S4/T4/W5/A5/LD10/2+/4++

Weapons/Equipment:

- Aetherius (Master-Crafted Power Sword): S+2/AP-3/D 1D3 - Abilities: Every time this weapon rolls a 6 to wound, Aetherius automatically causes an additional 1D3 Mortal Wounds.
- Storm Bolter
- Jump Pack
- Frag/Krak Grenades
- Iron Halo

Abilties:

- Fury from the Sky: All [Chapter] units within 6" of Valeri can re-roll charge distances.

- Master of the Blades: If [Chapter] units within 6" of Valeri successfully charge, add +1 to their attacks value for that turn. Additionally, all [Chapter] units re-roll hits and wounds in the fight phase for that turn.

- Masters of the Aether: All [Chapter] Librarians within 12" of Valeri add +1 to their attempts to cast [Librarius] psyker powers.

Too many aura buffs
What chapter tactics?
Use BT and remove the reroll charges buff, also he should have a pistol of some sort

>>55199976
The only unit that hands out more buffs than this is Guilliman
>>
>>55199974
Still pathetic
>>
>>55199605
The only true answer is Nurgle renegade and Heretecs, lost and the damned lead by Commander Fartsenheimer and his cadre of Maelific Asslords. They have a bitterness toward the Deathguard for denying the great wind of Nurgle. Their flatulent hell hounds will not aid the bloated Deathguard.
>>
>>55199994

Salamanders chapter tactics to represent Librarians helping their lessers pick their shots/aim etc. Think a shitty version of prescience.

The idea was to have him be an aura character that can hold up in melee sort of well, but not excellently.
>>
>>55200010
He should hand out 2 buffs as someone said earlier, also a bolt/plasma pistol is basically mandatory on him
>>
>>55200002

Which should be taken away? Again, i'm not sure how to balance the guy, figured some feedback would do me good.

>>55200044

Like I said - i'm not sure what is balanced and what isn't. Hence the asking for feedback and advice. What would you remove or change? Bearing in mind that he needs to be worth roughly 200pts.

So far i've got:

>>55200019
>>55200002
Remove a buff

>>55199994
>>55200019
Remove Storm Bolter, add Pistol (Plasma probably)

>>55200044
Cause less damage on the sword? He doesn't give anyone else mortal wounds - only his own attacks do that on a 6+ to wound.
>>
>>55200066
Make mortal wounds just a flat 1 on a 6 and get rid of a buff, give him pistol but let him keep stormbolter if you want
>>
>>55200053
Renegades and Heretics (Imperial Armour - Index Imperial Guard) gives the Chaos keyword to various guard units, including Basilisks.
>>
>>55200066
For starters, causing d3 mortal wounds IN ADDITION TO normal damage is fucking absurd. There are only 2 other SM characters I know of that have a similar rule. Cato Sicarius causes d3 mortal wounds INSTEAD OF the normal damage as a replacement of his old instant death gimmick. Azrael does 1 mortal wound (not fucking d3) in addition to normal damage because no one ever fucking took him for anything other than buff faggotry. You literally have no understanding of what the standard in 8e looks like and you want to create special snowflake homebrews. Please quit this game and go back to playing minecraft.

Do rail weapons fire 5 times though. It's one thing to do a single single shot and have a chance to do mortal wounds, it's another to do 5 attacks and have a chance for every one of them to do mortal wounds.

Rail rifle is different but, it only fires once. Fair point though

>>55200112
>>55200113

Okay, so just change to do mortal wounds instead of regular wounds, not on top of. Cool. I'm pretty much set then.

Remove re-roll charge buff, remove storm bolter, change damage wording, add plasma pistol. Thanks guys.
>>
>>55200113
add on this?
"this effect can only trigger once per activation in combat"?

That's the best answer you're going to get.

>>55200136
nooo don't change it to mortal wounds instead of regular wounds, just make it cap at once per activation, so you attack however many times you can in once activation and can only get 1 mortal wound proc

Drop the psyker aura and one of either the +1A or charge aura and change the sword to 1 additional mortal wound on a 6 and you're basically in line with most of the better Forgeworld marine special characters.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for your chapter master to be buffing your librarians unless he's a psyker himself. Leave that to your Chief Librarian.

They don't have the gimmicks to win top level tournaments. But for normal play they're probably one of the strongest armies in the game.
>>
>>55200551

SOB have always been in an odd place of 'Plenty playable, if lacking options'. A lot of armies that don't get much support drop down the rankings hard but SOB are built around Melta and Flamer, two weapons that are pretty consistently good as they basically define 'Anti-tank' and 'Anti-infantry' weapons respectively.

That along with 3 tanks that have somehow, managed to remain consistently good (The Exorcist devoured heavy infantry and monstrous creatures alive, now it does the same to basically everything due to the change to everything using wounds. The Immolator has two heavy flamers and carrying capacity for a special weapons squad. The Repressor is a cheap transport as tough as a Predator tank with very heavy weapons for a dedicated transport in the Heavy Flamer and Storm Bolter) and you've got a force that is rarely top of the line but has never really dropped into unplayable either.

It helps in many ways that they are much more streamlined marines. Marines pay for Str 4 and WS3+ but get very little use out of them a lot of the time. SOB cut out the bits they don't really use and just focus on the shooting side that marines end up having to play to anyway.

Only Space Marines are capable of pulling those sorts of hours for extended periods of time, and even they typically get 4 hours of sleep each night. The normal humans in 40k are exactly that: normal humans. That includes things like sleeping for 6-8 hours a night.

To add to this.

The armored itself has spikes, its segments are styled like kabalite armour, the armor color too is similar to dark ekdar default scheme, she's got a combat braid going on like a lot of eldar and those vials on her as well all stand out towards Drukhari signifiers.

If you wanted to get nitpicky about it you should have pointed out that her eyes don't look like alien greys like most eldar art.

It never used to work that way in 40k before, but now that 8th came along, you lemmings act like its infallible and that this is how it should have worked all along.

>That's why you need support units to keep them away.
They can just melt them with lasgun fire in a few turns.
Meanwhile, the knight is virtually worthless against them.

Knights used to be a unit that benefited (arguably) the most from blast templates in the entire game in 7th.
Now those are gone, and Knights cost an extra 100 points.
They're not even more durable either, against a lascannon for example, they're virtually identical in durability.

Man, you've gotta realize how retarded it would be to have Deathwatch team up/not instantly try to kill some dark eldar xeno.
The Deathwatch marines are indoctrinated like CRAZY to hate and kill xeno's on sight, no matter the orders. Also, Marines aren' known for sticking to what Inquisitors tell them to do, even the chamber militants of the Inquisition themselves. The Grey Knights, for example, have had numerous small infightings with inquisitors they disagreed with/deemed too heretical. The Deathwatch would be the same way.

Asking a DW marine not to kill a xeno is like asking a GK not to kill/purge a Daemon because the Inquisitor says "I'ts my friend"

Why don't GW update their line very often? Wouldn't people be more likely to buy...I dunno, Eldar infantry if they were updated every so often, rather than just adding shit on top when a codex is released?

We just had a Chaos codex for example, and not a single unit released or updated. Imagine how many people would buy a better Abbadon or Havocs or something, rather than stapling things like hellturkeys and metal dinosaurs on

You're probably better off with one ten man blob (Better for strategems + psychic spells), an apothecary and draigo. If you want to do a vanguard detachment, get either another apothecary or a paladin ancient and that should be about 1300 pts or a little under. If your paladin blob, draigo and ancient are deepstriking, you'll need 2 more units to start on the board. Stormravens are probably better and cheaper than land raiders but if you want a raider, go for it. You'll need 2 more. Stick your apothecary in there and go drive around while shooting people up.

That does sound interesting. I built my rubrics with inferno bolt guns because i wasn't as sold on warpflamers because rubrics have no melee ability outside of close combat weapons. I'd be curious as to how they'd play tho especially in a rhino or something. Against light infantry they would be excellent. Also rubric sets only come with one sorcerer and soul reaper cannon per 10

They got into the habit of pushing Marines on their customers, and now they're afraid to break out of that pattern because it worked for them. Even if it means literally revamping their most complete model range just so they can keep milking it, as it looks like they're starting to do now.

Apart from that, the only stuff that seems to get any real attention from them at the moment seems to be either factions that never had proper tabletop representation (or have gone a very long time without it, e.g. Genestealer Cults), or subfactions that can be expanded enough to make them look new (Thousand Sons, Death Guard if they ever stop stalling with their main model release). Stands to reason that people might be more inclined to collect something like Eldar or generic CSMs if their main infantry kits didn't look so mediocre compared to more modern plastics.

>kill xeno's on sight, no matter the orders

This isn't consistent with the fluff. By nature, Ordo Xenos has to have dealings with xenos on occassion, and the Deathwatch provides protection. If they were a bunch of retarded kill-bots who'd ignore orders and ventilate some Tau representative, triggering a massive border war the Imperium can't afford to fight, they'd be useless as a chamber militant for anything but direct assaults.

There's no mention, that I'm aware of, of Deathwatch receiving additional hypno-indoctrination over what regular astartes do either, regular astartes already hate xenos like it's their job.

Deathwatch aren't actually that indoctrinated into their jobs. They're the marines that came across to their host chapters as being people who would do a good job dealing with xenos problems. And a lot of time the cleanest way to deal with a xenos problem isn't to shoot the first one you see in the face. Marines don't even have the imperial cult telling them that every single xenos is working to take down the imperium, they know the truth, namely that while they're looking out for their own and not humanity's best interests, that means that they can be convinced to fight each other, establish mutually beneficial trade, and all sorts of other solutions to their presence that don't require the Imperium to bleed itself dry fighting wars in every sector of space simultaneously.

When I say it is better for psychic spells, I mean you get more bang for your buck when you cast one on the 10 man squad since you can only cast the one spell that is not smite. Consider this. Casting gate on a 10 man squad is going to be more impactful than casting gate on a 5 man squad and leaving the rest to slog their way across. Same goes for hammerhand/sanctuary/astral aim.

not because i'm really good, i'm average for my time, but because you can't paint above the level of a twelve year old

>Magnus with Prescience, Diabolic Strength and +1A Warlord Trait vs Space Marine Fellblade(T9 2+ 29W)
>9 attacks, 11.6 hit, 9.6 wound, 8 unsaved for 24 damage taken, leaving Fellblade on 2 wounds and degrading it from BS3+ to BS5+. Same applies to Falchion while Mastadon would be left on 6 wounds.

Also, Magnus player can use CP reroll on one wound roll, giving him 84% chance to convert it to another wound. That, combined with Smite, will kill the Fellblade. People like to talk about how good Weaver of Fates and Death Hex were when they came out, but Diabolic Strenght really lets Mags chew his way through T9 superheavies.

Powers become an issue though, as you usually want to use both Warptime and Weaver of Fates, meaning that you are forced to choose between DS, Prescience and Smite. You could have jetpack sorc help you with that, but he is not as reliable as Magnus is.

Magnus has "Death to the False Emperor" special rule, which gives him an additional attack on a hit roll of a six. With Prescience, DttFE will proc on fives as well, which with 9 attacks means additional 1.5 attack on average.

I don't think anyone thought Diabolic Strength is bad per se, it's just that it is a straight forward win more ability whose results can be replicated by throwing more dice at the problem whereas Weaver of Fates and Death Hex provides alternatives and solutions to more common problems.

Scourges are good, their mobility isn't as useful as it was before, due to vehicles not having facings anymore, but even barebones they can do a surprising amount of damage to infantry with shardcarbines.

Pretty good. Blasters or Dark Lances are probably the best options on them; Shardcarbines look nice on paper (and a 5 man squad with them is only 70 points which is nice) but in practice they don't get much done.

I think Dark Lances are the best choice, running and gunning with Blasters is possible and actually pretty good at catching characters out of bubblewrap and vapourising them, but with Dark Lances you can drop in somewhere with cover and a good line of sight like a tower and enjoy your range. Don't be afraid to move if you need to, -1 to hit isn't the end of the world.

While you can't fire out of the car anymore, vehicles being faster + more resilient means that you're more guaranteed to deliver your payload to its desired destination with more consistency.

Depends on your legion + god of choice. For example, if you're playing WE, probably not. If you're Alpha Legion, it's actually not too bad cos you can forward ops a 20 man slaaneshi blob and then fire twice in the shooting phase. Or something like that. So yea, a lot of it will depend on the stratagems + legion traits you plan on running.

They're fine but they're a new army, give them time.
They're basically a longer range, more shooty version of regular marines. good edition to gunlines but pure primaris marine armies suffer due to no special weapons.

Are bog standard Chaos Space Marines, the troop choice, worth taking instead of cultists or other choices? I was asking more to know if it's worth taking 10 man blobs with plasma and other things.

It depends on your opponents. Good chunk of superheavy vehicles, for example Knights or Baneblade variants, don't have any invu, so Prescience is better against them.
>>
>>55202206
Like I said, it depends on your legion and god of choice + play style. There are stratagems that really make the CSM shine and being a cheap ish troop choice, you can stock up on cp rather easily too. Being able to go to 20 man strong also means you have a lot of dice to throw at any problem so there's that benefit as well.

So going back to your question: are csm worth taking instead of other troop choices? It really depends on how you want to run them.

Fair enough.

Iron Warriors. Going by their new legion rules, shooting and siege is probably the way to go. I have a knight as well and I love daemon engines so the big mechs are probably my forward element whilst the marines stay back and bombard the shit out of stuff.

I used to run a lot of armour but Vindicators seem a little more iffy now. I like a split of some strong, durable close combat to throw at my enemy whilst I grind them down to dust from the back lines on objectives.

I think this playstyle can shine with this edition.
>>
>>55202287
This assumes that the new DG don't crowd the shelves and the old CSM kits are relegated to a small corner where when Timmy does ask the question, the GW dude can go "Those are an older kit. Why not look at these new guys and see how cool they are!"
>>
>>55202206

Legion rules benefit different units. So cultists might be better in one Legion's army, while Chaos marines might benefit from another legion's rules more than Cultists would.

Yeah nah fuck off. Little Timmy will want the big and new cool minis, GW and the store manager will make sure to make you buy the new and slightly more expensive ones in the 45€ box.

If you're going with Iron Warriors, both cultists and csm have a place in your army, depending on how you want to run things.

With cultists you can use them as meat bags to tie up things in CC while your tanks obliterate everything else. Then as your cultists are about to die, activate tide of traitors to get them back again at full strength all ready to do the thing again. You'll want a dark apostle though, if only to mitigate the worse of the morale phase.

CSM can be used as solid mobile fire bases or even an okay assault unit in a pinch. In CSM you get a reasonably tough unit that can be tooled for any situation (I like melta in this edition myself but there's a place for pretty much any gun in the arsenal) and rhinos can ensure they go where they need to go or get out when they need to get out.

So yea, either cultists or csm works both from a fluff and crunch perspective. I'd say pick whichever option that does not break the bank too hard.

Solid mobile fire base seems like it'd be what I want.

I've checked the mathammer. Plasma just seems like a more solid option against many things than other options and cheaper to boot. Am I just imagining that it's only really worth giving my dudes plasma or do other guns work just as well?

I see Lascannons are also really good at taking out big targets as well.

I love autocannons though. My overwhelming autism won't let me put in guns that are shit. I picked Iron Warriors for a reason, I guess.

In my own experience plasma has been the most underperforming gun type. Maybe it is because my meta sees lots of big chunky things and plasma really suffers against those even with overcharging. Make of that what you will.

Autocannons are still the go to choice for the general who can't decide what he wants his havocs to kill and lascannons in general got better at taking out big chunky things. Melta too. Speaking off, melta raptors are amazing, but I don't know if you swing that way.

So really, all guns are viable as long as they are aimed at the right things. Plasma for infantry, melta for short range units, lascannons for snipers and autocannons for people who can't decide. The only meh one is probably the missile launcher as the frag version got nerfed and the krak version is a shittier lascannon.

A side note. You should probably pick up sorcs rather than lords for your army. Getting prescience and smite really ups your damage better than a lord would.

If you need anything else, I'll be here for a while yet so just holler.

Noted. The advice is appreciated, thank you.

I prefer bikes to raptors. I converted my bikes, pic related.

I like to have weapons that I can point at several things. Autocannons seem fairly general but the price sort of wounds me. I guess you pay for flexibility.

Maulerfiends/forgefiends and Helbrutes, how are they in 8th? Maulerfiends with Lasher Tendrils look appealing to me but I'm not sure how valuable those magma cutters are.

It annoys me that chaos doesn't get a chapter master equiv unless it's abbadon. That being said, the lord is great for overcharging plasma and that's a pretty solid buff. Since I don't do overcharging plasma, I prefer to bring a couple of sorcs just for smite + whatever else I need at the time.

Good job on the bikes and if you don't want the raptors, no worries. They are not that good that you should always run them.

Maulerfiends with tendrils are great. Forgefiends with hades autocannons are solid. Hitting on 4s is still a bitch though and forgefiends will hit on 5s if they move so keep that in mind. Helbrutes are... well they're better but you need to know what you wanna do with them. Since they are so flexible (and since most guns are viable now) its easy to give your helbrute split personality disorder.

I'll go with some maulerfiends to accompany my knight. Good to also see Destructor Predators are pretty good too. I may keep my Heldrake at home though, I always preferred a 'boots on the ground' army supported by armour and giant mechanical beasts.

Worth it. They are fast and unless your opponent aims the right guns at it (lascannons and meltas), that thing can take a solid beating. You'll want them for positioning, either to maneuver your csm into/out of position or use it as speed bumps. They can also pack combis which is always a good thing. Rhinos are well worth it

>>55202927
50 is suspect, 70 is when you start to hit the cunt weasel threshold, imo

Breachers are painfully bad, but Destroyers pull their weight pretty well. They're way more fragile than Kastelans, but they're more mobile with Heavy Battle Servitors allowing move and BS4+, and require less support. I'd still probably take Kastelans over them if I had another 4 bots, but my six pretty consistently kill their points against Marines and chip down medium armour with Dd3.
