Use this strategem during the movement phase as you move two or more units into range for an assault. Be sure you target your unit that is not closest to your assault target. Choose that same unit to charge first. Congrats, it is immune to overwatch.

So how do taurox's do in this edition? I know they got buffed and people were hyping them before 8th launched but I don't know if they lived up to it

It proves that the disgustingly misogynist employees at Games Workshop are pushing their patriarchal agenda by not allowing the morally correct plot to advance, where Celestine uses her feminine strength to overwhelm her enemies with grace and body-positive hipsizes. Then she installs an all-female space marines chapter and there are no wars ever again, because women are better leaders.

I saw like ONE well airbrushed army and ONE well painted non-airbrushed army and ONE god tier army that was basically full NMM Custodes and GKs, out of hundreds of armies. There were some neat armies and ideas and color schemes and conversions, but almost always part of an army that was either not fully painted, or not painted well.

Relictors anon here, still kicking around list ideas while I wait for stuff to arrive. Been looking at building them using the chaos codex; the daemon weapons are much better which I'd kind of the point, but fluff wise I'd be limited to basic marines, terminators, havocs and chosen and that's pretty much it, as well as not being able to use any of the Mark based stratagems. Also can't take an inquisitor in allied detachment, which is something I wanted to do down the line.

Also, is the hellforged contemptor any good?

Let's be fair FoC was a bullshit story.
For Chaos and Imperium. For fuck sake Celestine stabbed Armless the harmless terminator armour while wounded.

Kharn losing in melee would mean his death and that won't sell. Unlike Celestine that simply can't die and revives. So her job in the lore is making other characters look cool by killing an always returning super zombie character

How come we don't hear more about the emperor's extended family aside from his test tube bois

Doesn't take a lot of effort and she wasn't that wounded. Abaddon just smashed her to the ground and she spent the next few minutes running from him.

He is a Perpetual. A Perpetual character, Alivia Sureka, was sterile. So it's highly likely that he is sterile as well. Remember that Perpetuals are a sub-species of mankind. Nature would not give immortal organisms the ability to reproduce since they don't need it and would be a threat to the species longevity.

Now that we got Bloodbowl and Necromunda back, is there any chance we might see some more of the old skirmish games like Gorkamorka?

What sounds better? Wave serpent filled with wraithguard or two venoms with 3 trueborn blasters each?

He got her skull for Khorne and she lost a piece of her soul. Unlike the Chaos Gods, The Emperor has a set number of time he can revive someone. Celestine is down to her last lives. This is further proof that the Emperor is a not a god. Slaanesh, for example, brought back Lucius gods knows how many times.

Each time she dies, a fragment of her soul is lost to the warp where it's devoured by daemons. If the Emperor can't protect his avatar, then how can he protect anyone?

>>55246758

But Anonymous, where's the other 1500 points of your army?

>>55246757
Can anyone explain how Lucius works? There's plenty of emotionless or non-biological killers in 40k. What happens if a Necron kills him?

>>55246757
What if the Emperor is on the verge of God hood and not a fully awakened god. Like Slaanesh before long night.

>>55246787
Celestine isn't the Emperor's avatar, that's why she cried like a little bitch at the sight of Guilliman.

>>55246704
But anon the Emperor himself said he was not a god.
So him doing god leve stuff while not being a god sure shits on chaos gods.

That said even the bloody mechanicus can revive people. So reviving individuals is not a great feat in 40k all things consider

>The Eternal Duellist

>Lucius the Eternal leads a motley warband across the galaxy on the trail of the deadliest opponents his network of admiring torture-cultists can locate for him. He intends to hunt down the best melee fighters in the galaxy and beat them in one-on-one combat or die in the attempt. Over the course of several centuries he defeats the Dark Eldar Archon Vraesque in cursed Shaa-dom, the Emperor’s Champion of the Black Templars at Veilfate, and the Ork Warboss Two-klaws at Octarius Sigma.

>Eventually, on a nameless moon near Damnos, Lucius is cut down by the shape-shifting Necron duellist known only as the Phasing Sword. Not even the Necron’s body of living metal can prevent the Slaaneshi champion’s strange possession-curse from taking hold, however, for it takes a cold pride in its victory, and that is the seed of its undoing. Lucius is reborn inside his killer within days, the xenos warrior’s body drizzling away to reveal the twisted swordsman, as arrogant and maniacal as ever.

Don't act like you didn't read this. Necrons can feel emotion and so they can be turned to victims to the curse.

Even if he killed by something emotionless or by accident, he will return by the will of Slaanesh. Lucius can only be killed by someone whose heart is filled with nothing but compassion and mercy.

>>55246838
>Necrons can feel emotion
When was this again?

>>55246793
It's in the 8th edition rulebook. Some Necron kills him, but is satisfied with his kill and so Lucius has now overtaken the Necron's mind.

Not the dumbest shit GW has ever written, but pretty close IMO.

>>55246850
Since Necron 3th ED.

>>55246838
>pacifist Titan accidentally steps on Lucius and feels only deep remorse
>'perfect duelist' destroyed

>>55246833
Doesn't Slaanesh just bring him back if something kills him emotionlessly?
I recall it being said that the only way to kill him for good was if someone with a pure heart did it out of pity.

>>55246850
Two examples I can think of
The one that kills Lucius
The one that is impressed by a Tau pilot as it destroys his Scythe in a dogfight

>>55246787
But anon she is not his avatar.
Just a random girl that happens to be a living saint. What fuck are those? No idea. Warp fuckery? Non warp magic? Human evolution? Emperor doing stuff for shit and giggles?

Living saint are individuals with "divine" powers. There was a saint that cleaned a Hive world water supply for ever just by touching it. Can't recall if it had some
Nurgle crap in it or not. But the water got clean.

The Emperor does not have avatars running around

In the earlier fights he was near the front lines because they were collapsing and just by him visiting them they rallied.

Against Abaddon, I forget the reason, but him and the group with Celestine were fighting in some enclosed underground cavern where Trazyn released some 30K Ultras and Custodes to help them out.

What is a Sister of Silence kills him?
Can they warp fuck a blank?

No, because regardless of the pilot's competence, inherently unbalanced lists are still a problem. It doesn't matter how skilled Tyson or Ali or Mayweather or whoever is at boxing, there's weight classes for a reason. Bringing up how skilled these champions are has nothing to do with the issue.

>And how no one brought sniper rifles to pop commissars?

They're not available to every faction.

Casuals might be at fault for commenting on and complaining about metagames they don't even understand or participate in, but are you going to try to say the game is perfectly balanced? That IG, assassin spam, Tzeentch, etc don't need nerfs?

NOVA had a fixed set of missions and objectives. The game wasn't a crapshoot on who got lucky with objectives and who got SOL. Yes, there was a very meta level of strategy beyond the meta of the game with what or was not powerful.

>>55247253

Again, fixed tournament structure that removed RNG from the game. It was more built on the back of how he played his list to play to the rules to build his list. IG don't need nerfs. They can still lose plenty of games if they play poorly or get blowouts on bad luck. Likewise, the winner's list had no answer to heavy units. Volume of dice can only do so much. The other thing that would have destroyed him would have been dedicated CC lists crashing into his gunlines and chopping down more men than he could throw at the problem and maintain a firebase.

If IG's only weaknesses don't exist or aren't viable, it doesn't have any weaknesses. You are probably one of the people who think Smogon rules suck.

I think there are some bullshit rules for Smogon like I straight up am banned from Speed Boost Blaziken (whoever the salty nigger saying he was Uber tier should be lynched) but you act like Guard actually don't have weaknesses to things like this list was weak against: High toughness wound pools that can advance forward and push them back. Or going second. That list going second has SERIOUS issues with how it's going to handle a game if the enemy can dash up and close the distance before the mortars can wear things down for lasguns to finish off.

>>55247799

What matters is this win is for the God Emperor.

>>55246880
Emperor-aligned daemons, basically.

>>55247751

Blaziken is banned because speed boost makes it able to beat all its counters except Giratina, which is already banned. When the game turns into "who can get their blaziken to win first" or "stop the blaziken or lose", stuff will be suspected. And if the top players who gain the most experience and play time in that test vote for it to be banned because they said "yeah, this test has been far more enjoyable and balanced than when the suspect problem was around" then it gets banned.

It's not like things are just banned willy nilly, some things don't even get banned despite being suspected multiple times. If something is banned, it's not only because it was a big eonugh problem to interrupt normal activities to hold a suspect ladder, it also means it got a majority vote from the best players.

You want to stop shit from getting banned? Then get more of your friends playing, and beat everyone else to prove you know what you're doing, then vote how you want.

>>55247824

>Squad with three triple plasma, one triple flamer
>Squad with quad triple burst cannon

They can Manta Strike in and hose down a lot of models, or start in cover and cruise forward a quarter of the board and hose down models.

Orks can throw as many bodies as they have conscripts and sometimes get a lucky charge on a good advance roll.

Tyranids can march the hoard forward.

Primaris Marines are a bit of a problem thanks to being multi-wound models army wide.

>>55248226

Your math is shit kiddo. 288 points for a durable unit that can push the cost to 347 and bring 16 gun drones for 28 more shots at the same strength.

To give you your math:
172 shots, 86 hits, 57 wounds.
29 dead bodies if they've got cover or psychic barrier, 38 dead otherwise.

And that was just a single dedicated anti-horde unit that didn't bring any flamers.

Special exceptions are made for comrades of the Long War. Those exceptions do not extend to psykers, and by extension daemons. NL see them as tools and tenuous allies, nothing more - a stark, erroneous contrast compared to their other traitor brethren; specifically the degree of trust that the heretics place in their dealings with daemons and the reliability of battlefield performance that results from that trust.

This is what I got so far for my sisters that I'm just starting, though I may change things up a bit. But I have Orks (lots of colors unified by green), GSC (with a focus on purple and neon green) and will be making a light blue Space Marine force... so for me red was a natural choice to have them stand out among my other stuff. Also the red and beige will sorta match purity seals.

Not sure if that helps you think of something you like, but I suggest bold colors. Since the SoB minis are all older, they're not overloaded with details, and bold color choices will really stand out with them.

If you're aware, why aren't you stripping it, baby?

>>55248516
Because he's the first dude I base coated, so figure I didn't want to waste the effort. I stripped him after i took the pic.

Just am trying to figure out where to put red

For that amount of points, you're looking at 100 conscripts with commander and commisar
Per 4 suits
For all 12, you're pushing close to 1,000pts, in which case there isn't even enough turns in the game to finish them all off with your battlesuits

Anon who asked the original question here:

What about "specialist" night lords the are counts as Plague/Rubric/Noise/Zerkers? The latter two are easy enough to explain as either dudes with shrieking cannons to terrify their enemies or night lords particularly fond of MURDER AND SKULLS, but the others are a little more tricky. For plague Marines, I'm thinking of a heavier looking team, maybe using MkIII Prospero Marines, using poison weapons to inflict pain. Rubrics, could honestly be the same, though.

Thanks for the input, guys. How does silver armor with blue trim and green tabards sound for a color scheme?

hey do strength modifiers apply before or after a melee multiplier

>is a chaplain w/ powerfist and +1S warlord trait (salamanders) S9 or S10 in melee?

>>55248516
>>55248532

It's a legitimate question though, where else do I base in red?

>>55248339
>>55248586

I find a simple scheme is the best for sisters. Mine are silver armor, red robes, gold icons. Silver and blue would probably work, though not sure about the green. It probably would.

>>55248607
10 I would think
Since it applies the modifier to his stat line, and the power fist just takes his statline strength and doubles it

>>55248571

Your dudes, your rules. Just spare us rainbow pony colors.

>>55248607
It'd be plus 1 to his base Strength, so S5x2 with the powerfist.

>>55248629
In light of recent stories, giving a nod to the Alpha Legion makes me feel like it's worth it.

>>55248630
ok thanks, I just remember it was S9 in the same case in 7E.
>gotta go knock some demon birds out of the sky then

A little early, like 2 hours early

Nah, I'm night lords. We In Midnight Clad, baby.

>>55248571
Night Lords tend to actively scorn open displays of devotion to the Chaos Gods, but that's not true of all warbands. The cult troops frequently act as mercenaries anyways so it's not exactly hard to explain why they are fighting alongside Night Lords or even in their colors.

You'd be surprised how tastefully it can be done when there's a skilled artist doing it.

Try a metallic. Bronze, copper, or a silver/gold mix. Think Minotuars chapter marines but with tits.

Here are the six major official orders to give you a sense of what is painted what in the official schemes. Bolter and Chainsword has a SoB painter that you may find useful:

If most of my shit want already a variant of Argent Shroud, I'd do Bloody Rose. Even did a test model awhile ago. I didn't realize how comfy red armor was.

>>55248621
Nothing, bro. That's all the red things.

>>55248876
Thank you

>>55248621
Only other red things would be purity seals or any cloth/leather. But that mini doesn't have that.

>>55247334
Celestial Lions would know.

So uhh... you think nids are gonna get new models with the next dex drop?

Yes, snipers aside, plenty of ways to get past. My own experience with librarian blood boil and flying units getting in to tight spots and forcing them out.

Go black tabards with black bolter. The rest is fine

>>55249054
Except the HT is already a new kit and there's no reason for them to replace it.

The most we could hope for is to have the finecast swapped out for plastic.
