>>
>>55359899

Zerkers/Zerkers/Enemy on the charge, Enemy/Zerkers/Zerkers when charged. They basically get to double swing, the only time it gets odd is if the zerkers are in combat for more than a turn. You can then activate your zerkers to fight, then your opponent picks their unit, then you can either reactivate the same squad, or move to a different unit and circle back to the zerkers whenever. Kind of a rare thing though, because they cleave through units pretty quick.

It's ironic that Chaos players reflect how Chaos are in the fluff, they get cucked multiple times by the superior imperium but instead of reflecting on their mistakes and humbly learning to be better they endlessly whinge and moan that the game is rigged against them, even when they're gifted numerous shiny new toys, and as a result unsurprisingly lose over and over again.

I'm trying to make a SM army focused on infantry aura buffing, so far I am using:

Pedro Kantor
Rhino Primaris
Primaris Ancient
2x Primaris Lts
Apothecary

Along with 2 scout squads, a tac squad, and a devastator squad.

Are there any other good buffing things I should look for ?

poor. at sub 1000pts they dominate since it's all troop vs troops, but as soon as the point barrier breaks above, their slow speed becomes a major issue.

A note to all the friends commenting, this is mostly just a fun project. I don't really own many DG models, just the starter and wanted to try something a bit more unique. The bombards look cool, but I have a siege drill to keep games from being a mess.

Some of the slip I'm yet to get, some of the filled in details I'm going to remove or conceal. There is slip on the arse end too. I know it's there.

Its just a fun project is all. I promise I'll bring you all pictures when he's done.

>>55364566
Unless you make it clear that forgeworld is illegal people will try and sneak it in.
Besides, it cuts in to store profits and if you don't support your store 100% you shouldn't be allowed to play, banning forgeworld is better than banning players who use forgeworld.

you really are a special kind of wanker, aren't you?

forge world makes stuff that most often are used as centerpeices or that cannot be bought/converted/etc from existing plastic. Just because they spend $$$ there doesn't mean they would have spend those same $$$ in the shop on something else. Its a classic economic fallacy.

its a shame you play with such a group of shitters that people try and cheat against the rules you have arranged to play with, or are you just such a cunt they don't care?

Ty, I haven't done much GS stuff before so we're learning here.

The trick with chinacast issues is knowing what the paint will and won't cover. I've some pretty harsh lights for my workspace and an unflattering camera, most of the things that come up on the big screen aren't nearly as easy to see with the naked eye.

The big question mark for me is what to do about the field projectors at the front. I am thinking I will add to some of them with some GS and paint them with the same fleshy colours as the rest of the GS scabby bits.

More like just most of your current purchases should come from the store.

Hell, everyone, but you apparently, has some units they traded with a friend for or impulse brought from wherever.

Australia; our pricepoint, proximity to china and and current management at Aus gw HQ have lead to a lot of store managers feeling ultra competative and ruthless in the sales area. Almost all our stores are one man affairs.

From what I know, many managers constantly feel like there is the threat of being closed down if they don't meet their sales targets and stuff.

The majority of AdMech infantry weapons are assault and rapid fire. Plasma Caliver squads will be even more fun.

Now that I think about it it'll also be a minor but nice thing on dragoons taking phosphor serpentas. Not a huge thing but they have a reasonable chance of surviving to combat long enough to make use of it and an extra "attack" doesn't hurt.

Grey knights require the least purchases to make a decent sized army that can be effective, by a significant margin.

After that, probably necrons if going for a decent mix since the start collecting for them isn't terrible. And I guess imperial knights are comparatively cheap since you only need 3-4

well, so far I've got Flash Gitz and Lootas for shooting, going to invest in some battlewagons and trukks and more flash gitz and lootas once I'm done with the ones I have. Oh and convert tankbustas out of the leftover burnas and assorted rokkit bits left over from the loota boxes and other stuff
Idea is to put Flash Gitz and shoota boyz in vehicles, dakka dakka, Lootas won't get in for the ride because the Deffgun has such a long range I can pretty much leave them at deployment
I'll need something like gretchin or cheap small boy units to cover my ass from deep strikes but I'm still working on figuring out what
The Gorkanaut is supposedly OK, but I don't see myself investing in one any time soon

>>55365243

Dread Mob is more viable than Mechanized, and either is miles better than Speed Freaks.

However "more viable" isn't the same as "viable"; Dread Mob suffers badly against armies with a fair amount of AT. Dreads are massively overcosted and Morkanauts are inferiour to Gorkanauts, pretty much solely because the Gorka is better in melee thanks to 2 more attacks. The list also has virtually no shooting, which really hampers you against some lists. Overall you can expect to either win by a landslide or get absolutely and completely stomped by end of Turn 2. I've been playing my Dread Mob list on and off since 8th hit and that's been my experience.

I've also tried some Mechanized lists with stuff like Meganobz, Lootas, Flash Gitz and Tankbustas, with transports. Honestly, it's pretty terrible. Most of this stuff NEEDS transports because cover is worthless/hard to get for Orks, and contrary to what >>55365376
would have you believe, Lootas outside of a transport have zero life expectancy. Tankbustas can't do their job decently, Flash Gitz have to move to get in range which negates their better BS, plus their expensive. Meganobz are decent but only use them with Killsaws; Klaws are worthless. Tooled up Nobz with Big Choppas are actually quite decent.

Trukks and Battlewagons are both overpriced and die too easily, doubly so when Battlewagons have to stay T7 if you're shooting out of them. T7 4+ save does not last long on the battlefield.
>>
>>55365290
With this, the rule is that on a hit roll of 6, you get 2 additional hit dice to wound with.

I mean, I never claimed that the army idea is top tier, just something that I like and hope will do good, I've seen similar lists do very well. With Orks its luck of the dice more than anything.
Once the Codex rolls around I'll probably have an even better shooty mob
and if not, I don't really care, I mean if I was WAAC I'd just run boyz n boyz n boyz
Hopefully Deff Dreads get a drop in points cost because I'd like some of those and I'd have a reason to buy a couple of Start Collecting! boxes haha. I'll probably get some either way just to build and paint.

Emperor's Children.
But also Slaanesh Daemons and about to start Renegades and Heretics with Slaanesh theme so Slaanesh is probably the correct answer.
I'm a narcissist, a perfectionist, and I love excessive things, the colour scheme, and the theme of Slaanesh in general, the entirety of Slaanesh suits me perfectly.

Dark Eldar. I love factions with cool armor, so a lot of 40k factions appeal to me, but Kabalite armor is one of the best. The fact that they're moustache twirling tier bad guys is also fun.

Oldcrons specifically, because I'm a sucker for skeletal aesthetics, the black/green color scheme, shooting lightning. Also because mindless legions that threaten all life tickle my fancy for some reasons, which is also why I like the scourge.

>Chaos

I love the aesthetics of chaos as a whole, and also because I'm a fan of corrupting forces turning people into monsters. It's very interesting to me from a story perspective. I find the fact that every servant of chaos is but a slave to darkness to be rather tragic.

Honestly though, everything in 40k just pulls me in, in some way.

Hard to pick just one having 10.

Overall favorits are Tyranids. Most other factions are just some kind of humanoids with a gimmick.
Tyranids are actually really different to most other armies and I prefer playing them without the samefagging that are artefacts and special characters. They are just one organism made to devour your opponent. Soulless, emotionless monsters that want to dissolve everything about you and make it part of them. Just like chaos is corrupting everything they are destroying it and using the remains to grow and keep on destroying.
GSC is taking it even further, taking the violation and alien reproduction theme from alien but going even further.

If you really think about it Tyranids and chaos are scary on a very different level then for example the brute savagery of Orks. Just as Dark Eldar are literally all about making torture a lifestyle.
These 3 beeing my main armies it might be that I am just a sick sadist or something.

Lots more guardsmen. You want bodies and as it is you can barely field 2 squads. I'd also recommend buying some SM plasma guns and converting some more plasma gunners.You can do the same with Melta guns too, but plasma is the go-to special weapon.

People swear by Conscripts as the ultimate cheap tar pit unit, so it may be worth acquiring a blob of those. Backed by a Priest and a Commissar it can be a real pain for people to deal with.

I've personally had success with a squad of veterans with as much plasma as possible riding around in a Chimera. They can jump out and delete any non-vehicle unit pretty easily and have had decent success vs HQ characters, though that largely depends on how the invul saves go. For maximum efficiency I'd stick a platoon commander in there with them to give them the Take Aim order for those sweet rerolls.

In terms of a 500pt list you could take the following plus weapon options to make a Brigade Detachment
-Company Commander
-Lord Commissar
-Command Squad
-Infantry Squad
-Infantry Squad
-Scion Squad
-Leman Russ

That's just over 400pts before options, so you should be able to bring it up to 500pts.

Suppose I could do a small force of Deathwatch or some equivalent so the captain isn't just fiddling his thumbs.

Daemons! I love daemons because they're such a "have your cake and eat it" type faction.
I initially got them because I didn't just want human type faction, or basically human aliens with funny skin colours. I wanted fiends of Slaanesh, beasts of Nurgle, flamers and screamers.

I love big monsters, I love magic, I love the lore of the chaos god and all their symbolism. Each of them are terrifying in close combat and can match even elite units but are cheap enough to be taken in hordes. In the lore they can be portrayed as hordes of mindless horrors or as free thinking individuals all at the same time. They're immortal so you don't need any justification as to how your guys survive being blown up each game. Fuck Abbadon and other mortal whelps, daemons should be at the forefront of all chaos lore.

...it's just a shame they got nerfed so hard.

Imperial Guard.

I've always been a fan of the redshirt armies in films and games, not because they die horribly, but because they're the underdogs who go through shit with as much courage and duty as the heroes do.

The difference is they're not protected by plot armour, or to serve as self-insert power fantasies for the main audience and that always made 'em stand out a bit more even in the backdrop.

Also I really, really like the design of their tanks and WW1-2 style of warfare. They're also the closest thing to 'human characters' for obvious reasons.

Is there any reason why they made Purestrain Genestealers the only thing remotely playable in Genestealer Cults? This is exactly what happens when a horde army gets no morale fixers. It's bullshit. The only way we can get around morale losses is paying 150 points for a Patriarch to babysit blobs.

>No good troops
>Expensive models (5pts for a Guardsman with an Autogun)
>No morale improvement (53pts for an HQ that gives a re-roll and 6+ FNP)
>Primus is the only ambush re-roller
>76 pt Psyker HQ that gets only 1 cast base
>12-24 pt tax to get a second power once per game
>Cult Ambush does not give an improvement on deployment ratios (e.g. A character ambushing and bribing a squad with them counts as 2 drops)


Literally playing GSC is only viable if you're playing a Guard army and set aside 600 points for 40 Genestealers.

Minor conversion for bullgryns. Does anyone else dislike the tank tread on their armour? It seems a bit too orky for me, given that it's standard issue rather than cobbled together by the ogryns themselves

Been running various numbers for Admech's newer toys since I needed to find a way to counter Death Guard. Six Protector Kastelans with Wrath of Mars and Cawl rerolls (so about 970 points and 2CP, although not entirely without versatility) will statistically do exactly 18 wounds to Mortarion, and 20 Fulgurites using Attack Twice will do about 18.3 after factoring in casualties from 4+ Smite aura and his round of attacks.
Thr new Fulgurite strat has once again restored their capability to kill any Primarch if they all get the charge, although fat chance of that. New dex has already added significant power increases to Admech, and we haven't even seen any of the unit changes or more than one generic Stratagem yet

I think the intent of the GW designers was to show that ogryns are basically just beasts of burden, since they carry both jerry cans and tank treads. Also note the rings on the back of the armor, I think it's supposed to be attachment points for chains - so that you can tow a vehicle etc.

I get the idea of them being used for labour, and dont have an issue with the chain points on the back, its just the treads I have issue with.
Do you have any pics of yours? I havent been able to find any picks online of other people who have done it.

I like playing Kill Team a lot but not the official one, been playing the Heralds of Ruin one back in 7th
now they're in the midst of updating it for 8th so I'm just building stuff for regular 40k

I think they'll be great when they get their codex. They suffer in the index because they really need the depth/stratagems that a codex can provide rather than the 'rough first draft' more so than any other army in the game.

Unfortunately given they're the least played/least fleshout standalone army in 40k they'll probably get theirs last.

Hopes for the Tson codex?
Specialist Sorcerers and what happened when Ahriman chased the resurrected rubrics on my wishlist. Exalted Space Laser again would be nice too

Quick question if anyone particularly knows, how would you go about making a deep blue-black, like raven feathers? I've finally settled on that colour for my admech's robes and the like.

Not surprising, honestly. I wanna say there's a traditionally super small population of women in the hobby, but a lot of the professional mini painting outfits have female painters.

Blacks a tricky one. You want to have a highlight color but still leave it presominantly black. The right mixture comes down to style, practice, and what you're happy with.

If you want to do one very slightly reflective like that you can experiment with varnishes or watered down ardcoat as a final touch, with basing/pigment weathering to break up the finish at the bottom of the robes.

with the amount of effort it takes for one of them to bust a nut, I'm not at all surprised they have the power of a steady brush

Here, only made belly protection for one of them. Wasn't looking for uniformity as they're a inqusitorial retinue and not regular troops.

The plates are plasticard and the rivets are made from nail art caviar beads.

I was thinking of trying to go from some form of colour transition, perhaps starting with Naggaroth Night and then giving it was wash with drakenhof nightshade, but then there's losing black in exchange for purple and blue.

I know Sarah Cawkwell did some 40k novels, not sure if there are any other women

and given that most new canon SW novels written by women are YA bullshit I'm not exactly going to cry about it

>gw wants chaos to win
Its funny how imperiumcucks like to play the oppressed victim by the big bad ebil gw, right on the heels of a whole new line of even tougher, nobler, purer marines who are super strong and dont afraid of anything, PLUS their primarchs get to come back, even though they arent immortal daemons who require massive summoning rituals like the traitor primarchs

Yeah bud, poor (You) why isnt your faction even more overpowered in the lore :(

The intention was never to have anything other than a personality cult in NK, I'm no communism shill but that isn't even failed communism. Your choosing to buy into NK propaganda to say that was the inent/ is the reality.

Okay so HOR is the one to go with.

Any particular reason? What does it fix with the base game?
