Pretty much just squads of Fallen, Cypher and maybe some vehicles as support. Fluffwise it'd be a little weird for the Fallen to gather en masse like that, they're more like an adjunct to another force.

>>55286348
Not sure if it's more points for the 12 warriors or the drones but with the suits that can fire on deep strikers you'd be better off taking plasma over the burst cannons. You lose half your shots but you're definitely going to kill what you hit.

I'd say you'd be better running the multi-tracker than the -1 AP so your missiles all hit.

How fluffy is this Raptors + Elysian army?
In short, Raptors scout/infiltrate then gets drop support from the Elysians

Setup
Game starts with flyers, Platoon Commander, MotF and the Drop Troopers on the ground
Scouts scout
Lias, the Lt and the vets all hide in the shadows

Turn one
Lias and his posse appears
The Scouts gets support from the Elysian snipers
The Company Commander and the command squads either support Lias or drops on some other high-value target

Plasma could potentially wait until turn two, giving Lias a turn to deface their bubblewrap

Throw in 2 devilish with breaches or pulse carbine fire warriors, and go kick in greenskin teeth with that bonus to hit in CC, or die an honourable death for the Greater Good.

If you didn't find that fun, you won't find anything fun.

Fliers aren't the "always hit on 6s" boogiemen that they were in 6th/7th.
And they even have to give up -1 to hit to get the Hard to hit and Airborne rules.

>>55286479
THROBBING

>>55286365
When I did my Tau army, I wanted battlesuits. I have about 30-40 Fire Warriors because everyone needed troops.

Generally you're gonna be sitting guys on an objective and camping in cover. If anything gets within 18 inches, you pound the shit out of it with triple-shots. Another nice thing is to screen just in range with gun drones so you can get them to have about 15" of range for triple-shots. I'd often stick a XV84 commander with a Drone Controller and 2 Missile Pods in with the gunline so all the hordes of drones hit on 4+ and I have 10 shots against medium toughness enemies and I can always have a starting Markerlight hit for really packing on the bonuses for the other targets, such as setting up for a deep strike attack and getting melta suits or plasma suits that wonderful re-roll 1s without having to dedicate multiple Markerlights.

Always take a pathfinder team for the pulse drone.

>>55286472

Admittedly, I am making killteams for each faction I want to play without hoarding them like my main army.

>>55286472
Looks like. I'm honestly surprised one legion/chapter, chaos or loyalist, didn't get something a bit more tankcentric honestly.

>>55286515
Some people just hold a grudge against things for a long time. There are people who still hate GK because of that time back in 5th edition when they were OP, and don't want GK to be anywhere near viable ever as a result.

>>55286538
I'm interested to see if there won't be a thing for IG that buffs vehicles somehow, to facilitate armored companies.

>>55286515
>>55286501
They might not be as obnoxious as in 7th, but they're still pretty damn strong. Six is definitely the sort of number you see in cheesy tournament lists, for example.

>>55286554
I mean, it's not nearly as strong given the way boots on the ground works, and the flyers chosen. Hell, on a small board it might get crowded.

>>55286296
Where has this leak come from?
Looks take.

>>55286296
>dem names
Although the Thousand Sons release was significantly smaller, we escaped with no terrible named units.

>>55286515
Flyers start on the table now, and they no longer have fire arcs, and twin-linked weapons double shots rather than granting rerolls. You can combine this with reroll auras of course.

Also, because of "abstraction", flyers can now actually block models from moving past them, because of the 1" rule. So you can really say "Fuck you" to Orks and Tyranids, because you can have a flyer be both "on the ground" (can't move past it to get to objectives) and "airborne" (cannot assault it) at the same time.

Also, 40k is strict IGOUGO, and Flyers are fast enough to get into alphastrike position. Cover is weaker than most any edition. If you don't go first, or run Conscripts/Brimstones plus characterspam/mass Deepstrike, you get to sit there and get Leafblowered, because 8th also removed Reserves as a core rule.

And yes, I'm tripcoding.

So will double lightning claw termies ever get their points back?
I wanted my alpha legion to be pretty elite so I was thinking 2 five man wolverine squads with icon of wrath in my 1850 list

so are we gonna see some new units with the Admech codex or nah? why/why not?

>>55286554
Well I see your point but the army is supposed to be Raptors-styled, utilizing infiltration, hit- & run tactics etc etc.
It would seem kinda odd if they're allying with the Elysians to utilize an airborne armys fast deployment but won't use their fliers

>>55286578
And yeah, if my plan was to spam fliers I wouldn't bring this army
Would tell my opponent I'll be bringing a few fliers so he's prepared, only playing with friends anyway

>>55286578
Well, maybe. But given the sort of lists 8E tournaments have tended to see so far, (even after that FAQ,) felt it best to make you aware that plonking 6 fliers on the table may make your opponent think "tournament list". Depends if you're happy with giving that impression to some people.

>>55286619
>And yes, I'm tripcoding.
why

>>55286619
>local faggot trips, news at 11.

>>55286620
The biggest problem with Chaos Termies is how they're forced into 5 man squads now.

215 points for choppy termies is a bit much, but you're gonna get more mileage out of the Icon of Excess than the Icon of Wrath. Unless your area meta has less Imperium.

Omega tank destroyer. Based on rules re plasma weapon, do rerolls counter the rolling one rule?

>look mom, I started an argument
Sorry

>>55286640
Yeah as I mentioned above I'm only gonna play with friends at my local and I'll definitely tell them to bring a bit of anti-air
What would be less WAAC but stay as fluffy? Switch the Xiphons to something else that's good anti-armour and anti-air? Couldn't find anything that fits Raptors better

>>55286296
That first character name is clearly b8. Change the second half of it and repost, should have better luck with it.

>>55286709
True, I'd much rather have 3 squads of 3 than 2 of 5

Is the Nobz in a 'naut strat no longer a meme?

>>55286714

Yes. via Captains, etc.

>we want to streamline the rules and make them easier to use
>so getting the info for one unit will require flipping back and forth between at least 4 different pages

>>55286747
Its a decent strat, Nobz can be killy if they get the charge and are properly equipped and 'Nauts are not bad in this edition and can act as a very tough transport. I dont think its like a must take combo but now it works and you're not crippling yourself by using these units.

>>55286714
The biggest flaw with it is that its only 24" on the range, but I still may either buy one or make one out of a Land Raider for a Primaris army. I feel the Sicarans fit well into Primaris stuff.

Primaris Predators, if you will.

>>55286714
It's a mega laspred. Give it two lascann sponsons and fire off 5 lascannon shots, three kinda souped up, for 220 points or only 30 more than quadlas Predator. Those extra 5 points over mounting an extra lascannon on a Predator buy more wounds, faster move and the ability to use three of your lascannons as plasma guns.
Pretty good, as tanks go, since laspreds with Killshot were already the gold standard for anti-tank.

Also, yes rerolls do negate plasma explosions.

>>55286714
Pretty shit desu sempai, all the Sicarians are kinda meh. The punisher gets outclassed by a few razorbacks, the strike Tank is waaaaay inferior to the scorpius, and this plasma one is a worse deredeo.

There's at least a niche for the original two, but they still are not efficient. Sad, they're damn good models and my 30k ones always did well

>>55286775
Should they be given Big Choppas to save points and chunk down monsters/multi wound infatry and swarms? Or should I cash out and give em klaws and killsaws for maximum wreckage?

The older the marine, the greener their chest decoration due to rust

in guessing the knights in the admech codex are going to have a few extra weapons/configs and be able to have a forgeworld keyword so they can be repaired, and gain reroll benefits from forgeworld characters. whereas regular knights will have the same weapons and have access to "character" knights with relics and warlord traits.

>>55286715
Yeah, saw that now, sorry for being a dick, playing with friends is obviously fine.

As for what fits raptors, I'd go for more snipers (maybe rounding out to a battalion as you already have 2 HQs) and maybe some land speeders myself, but that's my personal mental image of them. The difficulty with talking about such a pragmatic chapter is a lot of stuff does fit them.

I just don't understand how termies are supposed to ever get their points back
Even with 2 wounds they are going to die the turn they deepstrike, and while they will eat a lot of fire they need to do some damage, the only builds I see are
>combi bolters and a flamer to hose down hoards, kill half your points worth if you're lucky
>combi plasma/melta to try and vapourize something really juicy like a knight titan or some tanks, melta with warp time support seems okay
>lightning claws for lots of attacks to do the melee equivilant of combi bolters for light and heavy infantry shredding
No matter what I just feel like they could never justify their points other than cool factor

They are fleet based and primarily focused on helping other factions in their fleets, no on waging open war on the field.

I also thought about Scarlet Suns and Repudiators

>>55286842
>Jokaero Tools

>>55286714
Yes, barring hit penalties. If you fire on the move and roll a 2, you wouldn't get to reroll if it's "reroll 1s", since rerolls precede die mods. The 2 then becomes a 1 and then you suffer the mortal wounds.

>>55286851

Scarlet Suns sounds more vanilla to me, the problem is, they are called Suns that are Scarlet in color....

And Repudiators I also like but then I might make them radicals like the Templars, and friends of the Hereticus.

My only worry with the name is that it has to sound Imperial and will configure the lore. I want to build something that can blend perfectly in the 40k universe, and I picture what would I do if I wanted to include these guys in the next GW videogame or Codex as canon.

>>55286851
Repudiators has a nice ring to it, I like that one

>>55286335
If you want a fluffy army I'd use them as support for Chaos Cultists considering it's vary rare for Fallen to gather in numbers, ever.

So maybe 2 or 3 squads and then just cultists and vehicles.

AdMech would buy it up.

>>55286807
Up to you.
Bit man do i hate thowing away 3s to hit

>>55286874
So why don't the alpha legion have a grudge against the imperial fists and ultramarines for killing their primarch?

>>55286864
Personally I'm hoping for a similar stratagem for Admech's Dunecrawlers, or maybe something that boosts their shield rerolls when they're together. Dunecrawlers are pretty good and versatile tanks as is, but they're one of our only good sources of anti-tank firepower and they're only about three lascannon each. More shots or something would easily be worth blowing 3CP on just for a "fuck that thing in particular" button.

>>55286836
No worries, that wasn't even me
Yeah, they're flexible alright; also planned an all-Raptors army that uses two Land Speeder Storms and two squads of snipers.
The problem with removing the Xiphons is I'd need something else that can take care of armour and air but fire platforms don't feel very Raptors-y compared to fliers

So you think that army would be fine playing casually with? If so I might keep the fliers but change something else to get more snipers and land speeders, thanks

>>55286896
I'd say A constrasts more but B makes the gold pop more

>>55286918
>killing their primarch
That's what they want you to think. Why do you think they're not holding a grudge?

>>55286896
Captain planet?

>>55286913
You're totally right that people will buy it, but you know GW.
They may possibly maybe if we're lucky, give us some new units using old models like they did with the NDK Grand Master for GK.
Maybe that'll be a generic Arch magos or maybe a skitarii prime but chances of a transport seem very low, especially if we actually think it'll be a new model.

>>55286877
IMO, GW should have gradually trimmed down USRs, atomicized some so they didn't overlap, and made USRs have meaningful names.

Stuff like "Fire Control (X)" where X is the number of additional weapons you can shoot, instead of Multitrackers, Heavy Battle Servitor, Decimator Protocols, Monstrous Creature, etc.

Stuff like replacing "Fleet" with "May Reroll(Run, Charge)". "Cannot(Run, Overwatch)" instead of "Slow & Purposeful", or making Scout & Outflank completely independent rules, so that Skitarii didn't need a clause that they could not Outflank as a result of their Scout Move (which instantly arguably fell apart the moment you added a non-Skitarii IC to their unit, due to conferred USRs.).

Skitarii have Scout, but cannot Outflank due to said Scout.
However, if at least one model in a unit has Scout, the whole unit is treated as having Scout.
Add a Runepriest. It now has Scout. Becauae it was not part of the Skitarii detachment, the "no Outflank" clause does not apply.
The Skitarii now get Outflank from the Runepriest (and Acute Senses too).

RAW vs RAI, courtesy of 7th. I'm going off topic (Granted, 5th had Orks smuggling Bikebosses with Snikrot, since Snikrot did not RAW Outflank).

And of course, Draigo still gets a 2++ in 8th, since Sanctuary cannot improve an Invulnerable Save to greater than 3++, but Aegis improves the results of Invulnerable Save *rolls* by 1.

Gonna use this guy as a guide to convert my alpharius chaos lord
Anyone got any other advice on cool bits and gubbons to use?

>>55286910
It's for space wolves but writing that would produce autism responses.

>>55286992
Double Subversion
>Alpharius is secretly Alpharius

>>55286944
I'd expect a Skittle Prime slot.

But for minimal effort GW could just go through existing kits and add variations. Turning single kits to dual (Stormtalon to Stormhawk + Stormtalon)

>>55287016
Mostly it is

>>55287007
>Minimal effort
Yep. I don't expect that for Admech.

>>55286967
Dear god, I'd probably pay three CP for that, should be at least two. 4 hits, wounding almost anything on 2+ with AP-4 D6, even without buffs. Still, something like that would go a long way towards letting Skitarii gunlines take down heavier foes, since at the moment we slaughter medium and heavy infantry, have a couple options against hordes and against big stuff we basically have neutrons and fragile Electropriests, both of which are expensive.
Add some mobility Strats, a couple points cuts on the worse units and a cheaper HQ and I'll be happy against almost anyone.

>>55286848
Flamers are useless for deepstriking anyway, because of the 8 inch range.

>>55286296
These names make me want to kill myself. But the models look soo damn good. Even if they are a pain in the ass to paint.

>>55286848
Power axe/ combi-plasma is the way to go. If you back it up with a lord, then you can overcharge and deleate most things short of tanks

>>55287011
So they do care abnout other people?

>>55286959
How do you know?

>>55287096
Don't even need a Lord. Just cast Dark Guidance and you're good to go.

>>55287059
Yeah, true.
>army that sells well with fantastic models and cool lore that's one of the few ranges that still upholds the 40k aesthetic
>and has literally the easiest job porting rules and costs over to 8th
>completely ignored by GW and left with shitty rules that somehow make even less sense and have totally arbitrary points jumps
At least kastellans are good

>>55287096
Throw the mark of Slaanesh on top and shoot twice. That's up to 40 plasma shots with rerolling 1s. Jump pack sorc with prescience and anti-invul spell for the maximum overkill.

>>55286296
>Deathshroud twice
>No Grave Wardens

>>55287117
They had the Biolologicae name in one of the early previews.

>>55287028
Weell first off you'll need to get a helmet, most canon AL members artwork aren't shown with their helmets on because they're all supposed to look like Alpharius and because super sneaky secret most artists refuse to depict Alpharius without his fancy snake helmet.

Discount the shitty "Alpha Legion" in the Dawn of War games since they're literally never acting like actual alpha legion members, in DOW1 they act more like something from the Black Legion and in DOW2 Retribution they're khornate when most evidence points to the Legion not really having a chaos god preference, if they're even truly heretical at all.

>>55287130
>>55287123
so a 5 man squad, 2 CP and a soc (or lord, your choice) for 20 str 8 ap -3 D 2 shots hitting on 2s(or 3's with re-rolling 1s)
Thtas pretty fuckking good

>>55287125
I expect good things from the codex anyway, just not necessarily units, and almost definitely not models.

>>55286296
>no proofs
/tg/ will fall for anything

>>55286296
Why the fuck would they name their shit like this? Is this in the Death Guard lore, that they couldn't come up with decent names for their shit? So to fuck with everyone, they came up with the dumbest names they could think of?

At least they are some of the best models GW has ever released. Makes up for the hideously retarded names.

>>55286959
>>55287117
>>55287149

It's called the Biologis Putrifier.

>>55287154
That seems pretty legit. Do the Maru Skara proud. You have the advantage of reliability and melee presence compared to Obliterators too. The +1 to-hit would also mean that even if you roll a 1, plasma won't Get Hot.

>>55287169
No, Anon. That Anon made them up.

That was my next question. Havent played since start of 6th. Was going to ask about the original Sicaran. Is it viable? Is it powerful? Beautiful model, but similar in price to the primarch triumvirate

>>55287154
Why not a 10 men squad? If you're spending CP, go all the way.

>>55287154
That's 255 pts if you take axes as your melee weapon
And that's way less efficient than what their equivilant in plasma scions would do

>>55287212
The real ines are only about 70% as bad

>>55287265
Becuase thats 430 points, which is almost a quater of your army at 2k. i mean, alpha legion might give them the durablity to make an impact, but still

>>55287279
>plasma scions
yeah great, where is the plasma scions entry in the chaos book? the best we can do is plasma chosen, who are limeted to 5 plasma guns and a combi plasma

>>55287256
Its hot garbadge. partically because it costs 160, then the gun cost an EXTRA 75 (!) ontop (or al least it does for the chaos varient)
8 shots at ap -1, even with rending, is kind of bad

Tac squad needs some sort of special weapon, maybe give your sarge a power sword too. Swap your scouts for tacs. Cap should take a thunderhammer or fist instead of a pistol, techmarine should be swapped for a libby. Vanguards should be dropped to pay for everything else. Vindicare should be any of the other assassins, vindy;s are trash though i love them. Devs should take some of your spare points and buck up to ten men with four guns, allowing you to combat squad into two five-man teams each with two heavy weapons. Leviathan is good though double gun is better, stormraven is excellent. This advice is entirely whats good in a vacuum while staying actually using your CT, feel free to ignore any bits you want.

Hey guys, I have a request, I am building an Ork army and want help with a list, or even if it would be viable, im not super competitve just want to win sometimes.

I have a few difficult criteria though, it is all Rogue Trader/2nd Edition Ork models, so I need to keep the model count low

I want it to feature all looted vehicles being counts as Trukks (Rhinos/Chimeras) and Leman Russes (Battlewagons).

Any suggestions or is it too impossible?

Yeah, if they do this again they maybe need to try to split the imperium faction a bit. Something like:

>team eccles cakes: SoB, inquisition, scions, black templars
>team "save the civvies": space wolves, salamanders, raven guard
>team shenanigans: dark angels, alpha legion
>team admech: the motherfucking admech, imperial knights
...to try to make it less of a steamrolling.

The Alpha Legion's mode of operation most likely became so complicated and intricate that even the Alpha Legion as a whole lost sight of what they were actually trying to achieve.

So, now that the dust has settled, what does /40kg/ think of the DG spells and Legion tactics?

Infantry and Hellbrutes get: No -1 to hit if you move with heavy weapon. No -1 to hit if you advance with assault weapon. You can rapid fire at 18" range.

Blade spell: warp charge 5. Give a unit +1 to wound in melee combat. Wound rolls of 6 translate to mortal wounds if done with plague weapon.

Strength spell: warp charge 6. Give a unit +1str and +1tou.

>now that the dust has settled

The book isn't even out yet, the dust hasn't even kicked up.

>>55287698
Blight Launchers got even better. Shooty Helbrutes(Las/rocket) seem to be really good too.

>>55287474
Team Gully would just stomp all over everyone and the lesser factions would just be useless, though. Team Admech should probably get the Iron Hands and their descendants, too.

Maybe have the a small campaign somewhere as a straight "everyone punch shit for points", log the percentages of points per faction afterwards and calibrate win conditions for each team in later campaigns based on the points each earned? That way multiple factions could achieve wins in one event, especially if it was a somewhat larger one, say, a sector, and people could assign their efforts to any one planet currently under attack like Alliance mode in Guns of Icarus? That seemed like an excellent way to run a worldwide campaign.

>>55287756
Why are Blight Launchers good? If you advance with them, your entire unit can't shoot.

This change, if anything, made Plasma very good since you can rapid fire from 18" away.

Are there any Marines that use weather disruption devices or weapons to assault the enemy? I have a vision of marines slowly advancing in a dust storm or hurricane gunning down enemies that can withstand the generated storms

If two units charge the same enemy unit and one of them manages to entirely slaughter the victim all on its own, is the second still eligible to be activated, piled in and consolidated or does it just behave as if it charged nothing?

>>55287698
This will make DG terminators fucking awful to play against.

White scars love storms. Lightning bolt on their armor and a relic that lets them channel lightning.

Might as well just walk.

>>55287885
Greatly improved target selection. An extra 6" lets you reach further beyond screening units and make it much harder for your opponent to dictate your target selection through clever positioning.

And in the case where you aren't looking to charge you get much more flexibility to choose where to show up and still get full fire.

>>55287987
I suppose that's fair, I'd rather that than a superpowered codex.

I can see the stratagem being useful regardless though. Could let you keep an obsec unit sitting on an objective alive long enough to score some VP for example.

It was cheese all the way down, I ended up just conceding to deny him the satisfaction of dragging it out.

I'm super glad I can field flyers again, without them dominating the game.

I'm the one that suggested the Kult of Speed, but if you were to go the eskimo route (also a good idea), it wouldn't be hard at all to build off of Snakebitez. Though of course they'd have something like a giant walrus squig for a totem.

fffffffucking god damnit. What do I do with this thing? Is it tough/decent enough to just load up with all of the weapons and use it as a light tank? Should I split the stormtroopers up into a command squad and a regular squad, and have the latter ride while DSing the former? Is it feasible to convert it to a regular Taurox?

Big choppas put the nob at Strength 7, -1 rend for 2 dmg. They'll go through Khorne hounds, Terminators and Primaris Marines with enough attacks

Do people use Trygons or Tyrannocytes for Genestealer transportation? On one hand the Trygon is much more assault-y but the Tyrannocyte is cheaper and lets you add a Broodlord into the unit for hitting on 2+

>>55288363
Fucking why

>>55288543
It's an AFV. Roll it around the field shooting up bitches while your scions take and hold objectives.

If they need to go somewhere quick, embark them in the transport.

It also serves the purpose of allowing you to run a full scion army with maximum deep strike without losing on turn 1 due to no models on the board.

I swear I've seen 3 different paint jobs for

>>55288627
its almost as if you can just paint things different colors.

>>55288592
Trygon Primes for things you need to die and die fast, Tyrannocytes for backline disruption.

>>55286322
Some guys at the lgs are thinking of doing a 500 point campaign. I'd like to do a Cthulhu-themed Genestealer Cult.

Look around on forums and shit. Hints gets leaked here and there. I found CCoN in like 10 minutes of searching in the right place.

Quick reminder to chaos players to unload soul grinders!

Building myself a footslogging hive tyrant. Decided that he is definitely going to get the maleceptors claw feet as monstrous rending claws because they look pretty ballers.
What else should I kit him out with?

>>55287460

what's your method for doing that chipped paint effect on the sides of the tank? looks nice.

>>55288749
Wings

>>55288758
Not mine, but that effect is achieved with painting silver and a sponge to dapple on the rust.

>>55288675
Green-blueish skin tones, the robes need to look quite wet and moist.

Bonesabers like a proper Swarmlord.

Are primaris aggressors the new terminators?
I checked the SM Codex of 8th and there are no aggressors in the 2nd company.

So the question is that if they are substites or act like a support squad for terminators

>>55287702
Honestly if they came in plastic I would have picked them as my first army instead of CSM. If they came out in plastics now I'd absolutely start them as a second army.

>>55288127
But lack DP, T5, and Inorexible Advance

>>55288873
Zoats when?

>>55288856
They're really not, they fit sort of their own role as support fire. They're not for Terminators, they're support for other Primaris stuff really. Good for tearing through infantry hordes.

>>55288873
Just start schreeching BFG at the top of your lungs.

>>55288873
Ask him when plastic sisters of the howling banshee shrine will be coming.

>>55288873
Please beg him to allow Lasguns and Laspistols as weapon options in the IG codex, Ciaphis Cain carries a laspistol not a boltpistol and I wish it was allowed.

>>55288875
Gold rim is 2nd. White/silver is first.

Not that he'd answer this but still.

Having tasted some Age of Sigmar, I wanna get into 40k to play with friends.

Should I get Orks, Necrons, or Imperial Guard? Why/Why not? Do you have other suggestions?

Any chance at all of us getting rules for the hoplites or peltasts from the Admech secutarii releases some time soon thanks to there being a codex around the corner?
Probably not because fuck me, but they did specifically say at launch that every model from 7th would be usable.
I'm sick of using my 20 expensive models as fucking counts as vanguard.

You know, I appriciate you trying to set me straight, but I posed that question because I didn't want to go with either wings or the swarmlord.
But the boneswords might be an option.
That way I can get an extra attack plus the option of -2 rend, 3 damage or -3 rend, d3 damage and rerolling to wound and a chance of -6 for the really tough costumers.

Ork player here:
Orks are great in 8e (most horde armies are) to the point they're surviving using the Indexes alone, so there's that. If you like building customized vehicles, customizing your models (I literally gave one of my Ork Nobz a pair of 'bionik legs' using sawed-up sprue parts. It's not perfect but it works), getting in close combat, and having lots of models, Orks are a great choice (only draw back is their shit accuracy and weak saves compared to other factions). Plus, their fluff is way more fun and outrageous than the rest of 40.

IG is another horde army. They have slightly better accuracy than Orks in exchange for a lower strength/toughness, but they've got tanks for days and can throw a lot of fire on a target if it gets too close.

Basically it comes down to which phase you like rolling dice for: close combat/fight phase, or shooting phase. A full mob of regular boyz (30) armed with choppas and sluggas can get 120 attacks if they get into close combat with another unit, and pretty much wipe out smaller units through sheer attrition. Similar case with IG, only in their case it's "1st rank fire 2nd rank fire" on smaller units during the shooting phase.

As for Necrons... I haven't fought any yet, so I couldn't really describe their tactics/play-style to you that accurately.

So yeah, that's all I really got to say on the matter.

Worst game you ever had? Mine was last wednesday. Playing against marines for the first time in 8th with my deldar, opponent is a good friend and a really nice guy.

He gets first turn, we set up diagonal board edges and i fail to seize. He flies a storm raven into my deployment zone, takes 2 ravagers down to 1 wound and kills 8 scourges with dark lances. His Devastators and Dreads with las take my razorwing and voidraven to 5 wounds each. I rolled extremely poorly on saves.
In my turn i whiff all shooting against his stormraven with my dark light. I move up my 5 venoms to fire at the castled up Raven Guard marines on a hill; he has a castle of 15 primaris, lias issodon, chaplain dread, banner dude with relic, lieutenant, apothacary. I kill 4 devastators with all my poison, each one makes a final attack wounding my razorwing and a venom. He revives a devastator. He rolled poorly but had rerolls for days.

Turn 2 his stormraven dropped an iron clad dread and 6 assault termies with hammers and shields then proceeds to wreck the 2 wounded ravagers and the 3rd healthy ravager. Dreads and devs take out voidraven and razorwing, primaris wreck a venom and take 2 more low. Multi charges 2 venoms with the ironclad and instakills them while his termies multicharge my last 2 venoms with arrchons in blowing them up. He rezes a dev.
Ive only got kabalites and a flyer left, i shoot his devs one last time to kill a dev, who makesone last attack him a lascannon and kills my last flyer.

I surrender.
