What do you guys think is the maximum size of game you can play on a 4x4 board? Because the local GW only seems to have those, and since I have about 1700 of dudes to fight with I normally play 1.5k games or thereabouts, but everyone else seems to go for 2k or 2.5k. Maybe it's just the fact that they tend to use Primarchs and Knights and other elite units a lot, but 2.5k points of Admech would start really restricting movement and you have to queue to get around terrain to shooting locations unless you play on a salt flats board.

Should I just get something big and stompy? I suppose I could fit a decent Battalion and a Knight in at that level, or possibly a Marauder or Baneblade variant. How do those stack up to each other?

Trip report: my first game of 40k 8th

My list:

Dominus, Eradication Ray/Serpenta

10 Rangers, Omnispex, 3 Arquebus
3 Plasma Destroyers

2 Kastelans, Fists/Flamers
Neutron Dunecrawler

Datasmith
Eversor in support detachment

Opponent's List:

Typhus
Nurgle Fart Arm Sorcerer

2x 7 Plague Marines, 2 Plasma + Power Fist
20 Poxwalkers

Bloat Drone

-

The game started OK, my Dunecrawler put a few wounds on the drone, my Arquebuses killed a Plague Marine and the Kataphrons another.

Nurgle T1 saw Typhus get an 11 to Smite a Kastellan, blowing it up with 6 wounds, and then Perils himself for 3 wounds trying to cast some other power. The surviving robot tanked plasma fire and reflected two wounds back onto plague marines.

Turn 2 I popped the Eversor, and killed a few Poxwalkers. The assassin killed half a squad of plague boys and the Arquebuses reduced Typhus to 1 wound.

Then it all went wrong. I couldn't finish any.units off, Typhus killed my Eversor (who didn't even explode), my Onager missed every shot, my Kastelan was bogged down by zombies but managed to kill the Bloat Drone, and a squad of Plague Marines managed to charge my Destroyers and kill them.

At the end of the game my opponent had two units of 2 marines, 6 Poxwalkers, Typhus on 1 wound and his sorcerer on 3 wounds left. I had my Onager on 2 Wounds, 1 Kataphron, and my Rangers undamaged.

Game was fun, if I'd used the Eversor better and focused fire more I'd probably have won.

The last things I painted; waiting on some more Inceptors to come in and need to assemble the Librarian and Contemptor.

MOSTLY though I need to knuckle down and decide whether to take the extra step and paint them as Destroyers and order the custom transfers for their shoulder pads, or to make them an OC Chapter in which case I need to loot through my current transfer boxes and other bits and pieces to see what would be a good insignia. Also a name.

Alright motherfuckers.
I'm gonna start Space Marines. I'm gonna do Astral Knights

This is the list I want to play. Tell me, /tg/, what chapter tactics would work best for me?


Battalion Detatchement:

HQ:
Captain on Bike (Stormshield and Teeth of Terra Relic) I think I'll use one of those Stormcastfag animals for him to ride on as a "counts as bike", probably that griffin looking one

Librarian (Force Stave)
Troops:
Sniper Squad (5 Sniper rifles and Camo Cloaks)

Sniper Squad (5 Sniper rifles and Camo Cloaks)

Sniper Squad (5 Sniper rifles and Camo Cloaks)
Elites:
Tartaros Terminator Squad (Power Sword, Grenade Harness and Plasma Blaster Seargent, 4 Power Fists, 1 Reaper Autocannon and Stormbolters)

Tartaros Terminator Squad (Power Sword, Grenade Harness and Plasma Blaster Seargent, 4 Power Fists, 1 Reaper Autocannon and Stormbolters)

Dreadnought (Twin Lascannon, Dreadnought Fist and Stormbolter)

Dreadnought (Twin Lascannon, Dreadnought Fist and Stormbolter)
Heavy Support:
Devastator Squad (Power Sword Seargent, 4 Heavy Bolters)

Devastator Squad (Power Sword Seargent, 4 Plasma Cannons)

Centurion Devastator Squad (Lascannons and Hurricane Bolters)

Exactly 2000 points. Devastators set up on objectives, the scouts can be deployed for screening. The dreads hang back with lascannons as counterchargers, and the terminators either hang back and shoot as well (against melee armies) or can deepstrike in to constest 'n shit. Librarian because Librarians are cool. Bike Captain stas with the devs for rerolls, but can redeploy quickly thanks to the power of SPEEEEEED. That way, he can RIP and TEAR with his chainsword whenever he feels like it.

Now, what Chapter Tactics should I use?
>>
>>55252307
If you're sitting back and being shooty, go for Raven Guard tactics. If you're facing cover campers, go Imperial Fists.
>>
>>55252307
The fact that you've blanked out the entire list is hilariously appropriate.

Am I correct to assume that, even if I use Ravenguard Chapter Tactics, I am unable to use their Warlord trait and Relic because my chapter is actually "Astral Knights"?
>>
>>55252336
Ctrl+s newfag.
>>
>>55252395
If you want to use their Warlord Trait and Relic then you "Astral Knights" can just be "Raven Guard" in disguise
>>
>>55252395
What? No, you can use their Trait and Relic. There are, for example, tons of Imperial Fists players using Ultramarine rules because they hate the IF's rules.
>>
>>55252395
There's no real reason to replace <Chapter> with anything other than one of the chapters in the codex. Then you just paint them as whatever chapter you want and call them that chapter while making use of your chosen keyword's shit.

2.5k on a 4x4 board is utter insanity. The only way that would even work is if both sides are playing super-elite armies, but even then...

I'm imagining 2.5k of Guard on a 4x4 and keking. I had enough trouble fitting 1k on one when we rolled opposite corners deployment.

Define 'hard-on'. Do you mean they don't hold allegiance to the Imperium? Then yes, but they don't tend to last very long at all, since they don't have any reliable supply train and they're hunted down relentlessly. There wouldn't be any Primaris seperatists either, since they're all fresh out of the indoctrination booths.

So, I know Forge World has Gabriel Angelos up for Blood Ravens, downloaded his rules. Do they have their own chapter tactics? I have FW's Index thing for Space Marines, but I can't find anything in there. Not even for FW's main chapters, like the Space Sharks or Red Scorpions.
>>
>>55252527
When I say hard on I guess I mean by chapters that are still in allegiance but aren't too keen on it, like reluctantly fighting for them I suppose.

Renegade chapters are cool but like you said, they probably wouldn't have Primaris and wouldn't last more than a week out of the safety of the Imperium.

>>55252567
There are plenty of shades of allegiance to the Imperium. You can easily have Chapters who think that, for instance, the Church are a bunch of loons or the Inquisition should stop killing everyone who's even heard of daemons on principle. Just be aware that if they're loud about their disapproval they'll make enemies; Look up the Celestial Lions, for instance.

Fanon Mary Sue Chapters don't get chapter tactics anon.
>>
>>55252567
>like reluctantly fighting for them I suppose
No.

There are plenty that don't much care for the various ruling powers of the Imperium like the High Lords or the Inquisition or even most other Chapters, but they're all more or less loyal to the Emperor or Imperium at the end of the day. Otherwise they go renegade.

While most renegades don't last long, some do; generally only because they eventually side with Chaos but not always.

The closest you're going to get is maybe the Dark Angels and their successors. They're so focussed with guarding their secret, in order to protect their honor, that the very hint of one of the Fallen being nearby is enough to have them abandoning other Imperial forces in order to hunt that ONE GUY.

You should ask to talk to the store manager then and have the receipt on hand, and ask why they're willing to break business relations to a customer who has already purchased the kit, did some personalizing of "Your Dudes" that takes no money from their parent company, but will lose a customer over something so petty and cost them further business.

And then ask them if you used jump pack marines as proxied vespids, why that is fair because their GW models, but you could buy them second hand a buck a piece and they get no money from new sales.

If they give you a shit answer, stop going there. Don't feel bad cause there's nice people, fuck the major corp.>>55252623

you vastly underestimate how much that doesnt matter to the regional managers, they are told to enforce it from the top brass, they are also told to punish store managers who dont also enforce it

Most Dark Angel successors
Some Blood Angel Successors
Celestial Lions (grudge against the Inquisition)
Black Templars (kind of)
Black Dragons (for mutation reasons)
There are plenty of others; I'd check out the list of Chapters on the Lexicanum wiki, theres a lot of inspiration you can find there.

Send a complaint email and don't name names or say where you're from. Hound them for a while and make them cry about it. GW has good customer service so as long as you make the right kind of stink you'll be in good shape and your friend shouldn't have any problems.

If they do fire him, that's lawsuit material.

>"You're fired for rules you have no control over but we're blaming you for a customer being unhappy."

Could also look into the joke armies, pretty marines, and angry marines. Could be some great conversions there.

If I'm not mistaken there was a Blood Angels successor that was so violent that their practically excommunicated, but still technically server the Imperium, Blood Knights or something like that?

Yeah, Blood Knights (or Knights of Blood?). There is also a Successor that has their own blood drinking ritual to keep the Red Thirst in check and when the Blood Angels found out and got mad they threatened to rat them all out to the Inquisition; Angels Vermillion I think. And another one (Angles Encarmine) that is always under strength because they're constantly crusading to keep their Death Company in check.

There are some neat concepts in the sucessors.

You have no idea how easy you can make a shitstorm from a disgruntled customer complaint if you have a good case to show crappy business practices. Local news stations or papers on slow days will jump on that shit. Put pressure on GW where it hurts worst: their profit margins and publicity.

Cawl's been using all the geneseed he has at his disposal. Which, it turns out, is ALL of the legions, including the 2 expunged ones.

It would be very easy to fluff up a warband that contains Primaris and just have them made from traitor Legion geneseed. Plus I strongly suspect that's the way things are going anyway and we'll be getting the Cawl Heresy sometime next year.

There are way better options for anti-armor, as it doesn't really do well in that role. Basically, gatling is your best option. I prefer frag assault launchers personally but that's just me.

Basically the only good role for the Redemptor is anti-horde. You'll get more millage out of just a unit of Hellblasters if you want Primaris anti armor.

The key is to make your guys fit the existing fluff. They will have their little thing that sets them apart; maybe they're infiltrators, or focused on lightning strikes, or a heavy focus on aerial assaults. You can even say that they're experts at this, and few others can match them for <insert specialty here>.

It's when you go further than that that you hit special snowflake territory. When your homebrew chapter is the absolute best at <insert specialty here>, or use special equipment no-one's ever heard of, or fly in the face of groups like the Inquisition despite them having very good reasons to investigate you.
>>
>>55252854
I use the gatling version.
I haven't been impressed with it so far. if it moves it's 4+ shooting means half of that firepower goes to waste and the other half being st5 means you can really only use it against infantry. it's generally just a big fat bullet sponge that dies in one or two turns, which I guess is fine cause of all my dreads it's the one I care least about losing.

N.
A single cannon is equivalent to an HB, no reason he should have 2/4 per sponson.

Better options:

Main gun: Quad soulreaper cannon (60) or two hellfire launchers [as twin hellfire missile rack but 36" range] (50)
Sponsons: Nothing (0) or soulreaper cannon (20x2) or heavy warpflamer (20x2) or hellfire launcher (25x2)

That's cute, really. You can't put the the damage you need/want with hellblasters for anti-armor. They're dedicated killers of 5-6 wound models with high Toughness and good saves. And the heavy weapons they have are complete trash. If the heavy plasma did d3 wounds on overcharge, maybe they'd be worth it, but they suck for damage output.

For the same price of a base hellblaster squad you can buy 4 lascannon devs.

At-will employment. It's a much beloved part of US law, at least by the business community anyway. Employees complaining about working conditions? Fire them. Some of your workers talking about maybe unionizing? Fire them.

Combine with extremely weak whistleblower protections, it's great for businessmen. Someone who works for you discovers that you're breaking the law? Threaten to fire them. You're just facing a potential fine if you're found out, while he's potentially facing a massive disruption in his life, so you can pretty effectively intimidate people into silence.

a 10 man strike squad deepstriking = 40 stormbolter shots, rerolling 1s from GMDK, use the psybolts stratagem (which now costs 1 CP because of the prometheus) and you suddendly have 13 heavy bolters shitting on whatever you need

My Imperial Guard army is grey fatigues and black armour, and red markings. Do you reckon it would look terrible if I did my cultists up in orange jumpsuits etc, and used red swatches of colour to try and tie them together?

Which are 100pts total. Eight Soulreapers are 120pts total, and again have double downside of being Heavy and having relatively short range.

Good thing Prescience adds +1 to counter Heavy

And with the amount of dakka it brings it would do ~6/7 Wounds to a vehicle while a quad Las does 1-8/1-11 with an average of 5/6.

So it is ALMOST as reliable AT, but it chews through 14/17 guardsmen / 12/15 Marines while the Quad Las only kills 2-3

Are you dense or just trolling?

1) You cannot make up points like that. A soulreper is 20pt. Now twin-quad weapon have usually a SMALL "discount" (but not always), so let's say 37pt for a twin would be reasonable, 30pt is ridicolous.

Laspred had 4 lascannons TOTAL, 50pt on sponsons and 50 on main gun

Your proposal has 4 soulrepers (64pt) or 8 (128pt) ON SPONSONS ALONE, with main gun still open.

This proposal is reasonable, with the quad main changed to a triple one for 55ish points

I'm painting and assembling Assault Terminators now. I somehow lost a shield, but luckily I still have those Stormcast shields, back when I thought it might be a good idea to file them off their symbols, slap some etched brass onto it and use it as stormshield instead. Unfortunately they don't come with hands, at all. So I guess one of my first company elite will have a stump with a shield permanently grafted onto it.

Wrong on all counts. That's your minimum price for two cannons in a rubric team. If you want sponsons they'd have to be 60 points roughly for the pair. Plus the tank cost. I doubt they'd make a Baal Predator: Blue edition. If they did it would be a pretty heavy hitting anti-heavy infantry contender that could put damage on lighter vehicles with scary effectiveness.

You know, I was thinking about it too. I have two knights now (although, one still needs assembly and paint) and will get a Knight Castigator soonish.

Imo for now, Pink Horrors. Once TS bonuses come out it might change

Imo, hell yes.
It becomes 240pts (8pts×10, 5pts×20, 3pts×20) for 50 Wounds with a 4++. Which equates to 4.8pts per Wound. Pay the extra for a Banner and an Instrument and you got a line that's incredibly hard to shove. Just beware of moraling out. (2CP to autopass sometimes becomes useful.)

I mean I am biased towards Horrors as I have a daemon army.

If you already have Cultists / Tzaangors they can serve as well, but personally I think neither are as durable as Horrors, BUT they all can be THOUSAND SONS so once our codex drops it might be worth to be "pure" (though you can just summon Horrors in, which is a pretty good tactic, tho you can't screen the T1 alpha strike if you go second.

I have a super small army right now. I'm talking like 1 unit of Rubrics, 1 unit of Tzaangors, 1 unit of scarab occult termies and Ahriman.
When I play, I feel that small model count. I basically want dudes to jam up deepstrike zones, shut down charge lanes and let me just dakka in peace. Tzaangors are doing me real well at tangling up stuff that's shooty, too. I hope in the codex they get daemon rules because I'd love to summon them. And have them respawn on 1's. Horrors seem like they could just stay on the table wherever they are, but part of me is salty about paying for conditional units. Cultists just seem bad, but they're cheap bodies.

Remember, they don't need to actually join or infiltrate the hobby, they just need to complain loud enough.

There isn't enough money or social power in table top gaming for it to get "intersectionalized"

>>55255315
It's not even that, anything that can ally by the games rules is perfectly fluffy to ally, that retard just has no imaginative potential. He's whining about WAACfags while playing the game the same way they do, instead of like the actual hobbyists and creative fluff guys.

Squads of seven, anon.

Nurgle's sacred number is seven.

So this looks pretty baller
Not sure about the sword, but then again I've never been a fan of the original Drach'nyen

3rd party sculpts are universally shit tier and always obvious out-of-aesthetic knock-offs that stick out like a retarded sore thumb.
>>
>>55255307
I've come to accept that they'll ruin everything, sooner or later. It's their goal in life. They walk the Crimson Rag towards Terra to despoil all life. We just have to enjoy what we have before it's gone.
>>
>>55255396
I just saw a not-Typhus and not-Chaplain by the same sculptor. Pretty cool but they suffer from a bulky design that reminds me of Heroes of the Storm.

>>55255396
Hopefully GW will release a model as good as this for Abaddon. I'd love to get this one, but I can't use it at my local GW store, so it's useless to me.

That's 8 my man, you should probably work on your counting because that is also a nurgle thing

Compared to a traditional SM army, which Primaris unit is the most useful addition to the Codex ?

knights with guard is "fluffy" last I checked, get your tits unknotted.

The tragedy is that GW is changing the proportions and over-detailing to chase all this shit.

>>55255327
Yeah, one of the bars to entry is that Wargaming provides no social capitol.

DnD provides enough, but not Wargaming. It's a new level of neckbeard.

>>55255422
You know, the only people loudly complaining about anything remotely resembling SJW around this place seem to be the trump-tier idiots who go ballistic if you even dare to mention that in a huge-ass galaxy women and - dare I say it - non-white people may exist. Well, those and peta in their "only pretending to be retarded"-move
Then they go on to lengthy discussions how you can't talk about anything else here and basically the SJW are destroying everything. Even though nobody but the biggest spergs actually cares how you paint up/call/prefer/whatever your tiny plastic soldiers.

Honestly mate, I'd just get the game

Minis aren't being made, expensive to purchase on eBay and like half of those are broken with no accessible replacement parts

Just LAN or whatever with it

>>55255367
In 3rd when I started there was a good reason to get the squads in the sacred number.. also up to 7th a 7 marine squad was a reasonable amount for the cost.
Now is better 5 men for shooting and 8-9 for melee IMHO. Some think 5 for melee is good.
>>
All right.

Cawl a Dominus and 13 units of heavy bolter servitors.
Is this WAAC? Is it garbage? I'm just trying to play a quick dirty game I don't even care if it's bad I just don't wanna be insulting.
>>
I'm thinking of trying to get into 40k but I've narrowed it down to either death guard, thousands sons, or tau. Which would probably be best for a small army? I. E. Not painting like 3 boxes for one regiment.
>>
>>55255918
Tau. TSons and DG require far more investment.

>>55255137
The character archetype

>>55256100

Tau if you field Commander spam, although their gun and shield drones are also very good in numbers, so you will end up with some spam if you dip into those as well.

But your best bet is waiting less than a week for the Death Guard codex so you can make a more informed decision.
