They're not getting sculpts for at least another 6 months, at least. Probably still over a year off. What you CAN do, though, is go and buy some of those Age of Sigmar berserkers and convert them with either the plastic berserkers or plastic CSM box. You can even buy some chainaxes from Forgeworld. Those three components will create Berserkers that will blow you away.

So the Terran origin for the Death Guard was SE Europe (when they were still dusk raiders). Have they ever said what part of the world the original Terran recruits were from for the other legions?
>>
>>55417992
Look at how OP Tau were in 7th, and what happened to them when GW brought the nerf bat around.

Now look at what IG are doing in the competitive meta now.

You do the math for how their Codex will deal with them.
>>
>>55417992

Hoping they buff Deathstrikes and Vanquishers, nerf Conscripts OR Commissars, preferably the former.
Everything else from the Index is gud.

>>55417992
Seeing how there isn't a single codex out that isn't a Spece Marine variant I think most people talk out their ass.

They will be fine. There are multiple ways to nerf the OP stuff they have right now without making the unit useless.
And even if the stuff everybody spams will be nerfed to oblivion.. there is other good stuff within the guard. And you don't have to only play them as long as they are OP.

So /tg, what sphess mharine chapter is most cool for conversions/special snowflake/thematically possible AND cheeseable so that it's possible to WAAC tournaments?

Something like an all reivilers raven guard force but more inventive.

Lamenters have derpression, are yellow and thats about it. Loosing is what they do so while fluff wise are cool they're so-so

Raptors are reasonable but no special rules

Carcharadaon / Space Sharks - basically khorne in loyalist, but interesting paint schemes with the tattoos and stuff.

Minotaurs - sexiest toys and are metallic.

Death Spectres - no special rules, but are basiclaly nuke it from orbit marines

Mantis Gotos er warriors - Again no specific special rules =(

Any thoughts?

Did you miss the part where he snipes the commissar, thus melting the whole 150 point blob, in one round, while he's doing mortal wounds to anything else nearby and buffing his allies.

I mean even in a vacuum where you're somehow not benefitting from the force multiplication of his auras, that means he can kill 900 points of conscripts over 3 turns.

You're allowed to, I was just being honest.

People are still trying to forget these exist. Though their 8th edition rules actually aren't that bad surprisingly.
>>
>>55418603
You position him so the commissar is aligned with his base and the closest conscript, then the line draws across the commissar, which means it's hit separately because it's a separate unit.

Most people pick their Canticles for the first couple of turns anyways. Mars is literally only good because it synergizes with Cawl, but everyone already knew Cawl being Mars made it bullshit OP compared to the others so it's nothing new.

No, but you are. you can't shoot at the commissar because he's a CHARACTER, and if you're shooting at the scripts, it would be closest point on morty's base to the closest conscript, which the commissar wouldn't be in between.

Are you a retard? the line goes between the closest point on Mortarion's base and the closest model in the target unit. The cloest model has to be within 18" to be targeted, so the line between mortation and the model will never be greater than 18", or mortation can't target it.
>>
>>55418880
how?
>>
>>55418903
that would be a line segment anon, which is a completely different term. A line extends out infinitely in both directions. Technically, mortarion must roll to wound himself too.
>>
>>55418880
If you hit with this weapon, draw a straight line between the closest point of Mortarion’s base and that of the closest model in the target unit. Make a single wound roll against the target unit and each unit the centre of the line passes over.


It says TARGET UNIT, so the unit that the pistol targeted.

Newbie here with a rules question. Guard Infantry squads can have 2 models form a Heavy Weapons Team. What is the cost of the HWT? Index says the Infantry squads costs 4 points per model (but it's not a Guardsman model); Heavy Weapons Squads cost 4 points per HWT which also implies 4 each but I can't find any documentation to support that I'd use the other value (either I missed it or it's common knowledge I'm unaware of). This seems counterintuitive to me because would also decrease the cost of the squad (before wargear, basically giving a 4 point discount).
Of course, this also would mean the Veteran HWT cost 6 points and the VHWT isn't listed separately at all. I know there are instances where models in a unit cost different amounts of points and would like clarity.
Separately, what is everyone's opinion on using a matte varnish? I can find almost nothing on it online or in painting guides but my mate at the FLGS swears by it.

Aside from when picking what can go into an army, is there any distinction between faction keywords and normal keywords?

For example, foetid bloat drones have the DAEMON keyword, while most daemons have the DAEMON faction keyword. When it comes to buffs that affect NURGLE DAEMONS, is there any distinction between whether it's a faction or ordinary keyword?

I feel the same way about the rest of the DG release. The models are really nice but everything is close to monopose. We can see it on the Blightlords and Plague Marines as well. Very much like the Dark Imperium models. You can see that arms and shoulder pads are one piece and intended for certain bodies.

GW needs to realize that sometimes no detailing is the proper amount of detailing on model parts. Not every millimeter needs to be covered with little knickknacks. Pic related is a good design, it has enough details on it to give it character, but not so much as to overwhelm.

Stygies and Lucius both do Electropriests way better. They didn't need more damage, they needed a way to get right up in enemy faces, and Deepstrike/Move Charge that Stygies offers gets them almost guaranteed charges where they want them as long as you're going first. Probably means you want a couple big blobs of priests, another of Dragoons and then a rather expensive gunline with Kastelans and such to keep the unit count down.
If we just had Adsecularis screens we'd be perfect, but I am NOT stooping to Allied Conscripts to keep my gunline screened.

I thought the DG terminators were suppose to be a dual kit. Now that Deathshrouds are their own separate (3 model monopose kit costing as much as 5 regular terminators), why exactly are they in Cataphractii and not Tartaros again?

Doesn't matter, I'm still gonna use my 30k Deathshroud models, because fuck this GW-FW rivalry and screwing each other over with models and shit. I'm surprised FW even put "tartaros armour" as an option for their TS terminators, when they didn't even make models for them (while GW did).

Yes you have to. You draw the line between your target and Morty. If you don't target him your line will be 2" long and hit's nothing but the scripts.

Not the guy you were answering too, but he is right that the designers pretty much went all out when it comes to details.

>why exactly are they in Cataphractii and not Tartaros again?

Maybe because even loyalists can't secure enough materials to maintain enough suits of Tartaros armour to replace the inferior Indomitus entirely ? I mean, if marines with the entire Imperium to support them and provide them with materials can't keep more than a handful of Tartaros suits functional, why would any single traitor legion that has been trapped in the Eye of Terror and has to fight to secure any resources still have any after ten thousand years ?

They have the shittiest dogma but 10/10 warlord trait and stratagem.

Let me lay some numbers on you you beep-boop fucker:

Get a Dominus near some Kataphron Destroyers. Get some other units in the bubble just so he's not a 135 point babysitter (with souped-up super-guns), because its the Kataphrons we're focusing on. Slap Plasma Culverins on those fuckers, then Overcharge them. Be a fucking Plasma Specialist. Heavy D6 S8 AP-3 D3 rerolling 1s to hit (3% chance to explode with each shot, that's the fucking price you pay. Go fire 33 shots and watch ONE kataphron beef it.) THREE count 'em 210 POINTS of Kataphron Destroyers will now kill a Predator in 1 turn of shooting. Every turn if you shill out CP for them, and even if you don't they will do horrible unkind fucking things to MEQs, TEQs, Primaris, Bikers, whatever the fuck you want. And four Kataphron Destroyers, 280 points, kill a Leman Russ in one volley with baseline average rolls. If you Overcharge and pop Plasma Specialists in the same turn your plasma culverins are functionally Strength 14 weapons. And these fuckers come in units of goddamn 12 so you cant even whine about not fielding a lot of plasma. 6 Destroyers with specialists and a nearby Dominus kill a fucking Knight in 1 turn. And I didnt even factor Phosphor Blasters or Cognis Flamers into any of this math.

So fuck you, go paint some servitors like traffic cones and use them to eat the entire enemy army.

Ryza's fucking awesome.

Yeah sure. Exalted flamer is the exact same as Bloodcrushers or Plaguebearers.

Maybe just don't use it and if you don't don't comment because you don't know what you are talking about.

It isn't stupidly OP like last edition, it's not even good if you don't plan exactly what to use in which situation. But if you put in the work It is a pretty good tool. Nothing to WAAC about but hey, not everything can be made for snowflakes.

Cataphractii was only rare before the HH you idiot. The legions just didn't like it so much because it was so heavy and cumbersome it made the wearer horribly slow. It is the most 'primitive' pattern of terminator armour, nowhere near as difficult to maintain as tartaros. Not that you would know any of that.

m8, baroque space marines are what Chaos has always aspired to be.

With the new technologies not GW can make baroque over-detailed space marine rapists that dont look like shit.

The overdesign Dark Vengeance chaos models and these Death Guard models are what finally made me decide on making an actual army.

It's all going back to the John Blanche roots and that's awesome.

Nice projection.

In this case it does you retard. Indomitus is outright inferior to tartaros, and tartatos would have relpaced indomitus if the HH hadn't happened

>So why are the official models in Tartaros instead of being an upgrade kit for all terminator suits? Why didn't Deathshrouds have option to take Cataphractii from the start?

Because most people at FW are incompetent little shits? There are so many things wrong with FW's 30k rules it is plain obvious they have zero understanding of how the rules actually work.

Maybe a little pricey for two BS4+ heavy weapons. The bile spurt feels like it ought to auto hit but it doesn't so it's weak, and they aren't good in combat. The aura is good.

Historicals work fine. Attilans RRs looked quite primitive. Add a few laspistols if you want to modernize them a bit. Also if you want official GW models you could see if you can track down some of the old whfb Kislev Winged Lancers.
>>
>>55419570
DG Dex is in OP.
I've had some really good results with Gravaphrons. Probably because they don't take a huge amount of fire with things like Kastelans around and I fight a decent chunk of melee armies, but they'll carve through Marines and chunk down light and medium vehicles like Predators and Rhinos from weight of D3. They're obviously not Kastelan tier, but they're perfectly fine for two units at 1.5k IMO and will now be better thanks to Elimination Volley.

Also good for fixing with a Dominus, especially if your tax Enginseers are already working on the Dunecrawlers.

It looks like it could stand up if it wanted to, that position just looks more braced for heavy recoil. Lower center of gravity and all that.

Still looks way better than any of their gundam shit.
>>
>>55419198
Pretty impressive beatstick for 137 points, I think that's alright. This isn't a good force multiplier, but you have Daemon Princes for that job.
Still not going to use one, but I can see them being used the way people used to field single Mutilators: As diversions you cannot ignore.

How would you equip your Blightlord Terminators? Base equipment is Balesword/Bubonic Axe (Power sword and Power axe with plague weapon) and combi-bolter.

You can swap any combi-bolter for a combi plasma, melta or flamer.

For every 5 guys in a unit, you can give a guy a blight launcher, plague spewer (Heavy flamer with plague weapon) or reaper autocannon

For every 5 guys one can swap their combi-bolter and balesword/bubonic axe for a mace of contagion.

I'm thinking Champion with mace, 4 combi-meltas and axes. Which would you take anyway? Axes or Swords?
>>
>>55419662

Who's to say it can't stand taller if it needs to turn and is just squatting to reduce its profile.
>>
>>55419172
So? For AdMech, that trait is fucking stellar. It helps them correct their biggest weakness, namely not having transports, by making them more resilient until they are close.

I don't care if it's copy-paste, so long as it works well.
>>
>>55419727
Stratagem also provides T1 Charge abilities with sneeki breeki Priests, which is hilarious.
>>
>>55419707
Yeah they obviously had all the facilities to do that after being teleported to the Planet of Sorcerers and leaving everything they didn't carry on Prospero.
>>
>>55419712
If they have the same stats as power swords/axes and the plague weapon rule, axes are mathematically superior
>>
>>55419713
A good man.
>>
>>55419713

>>
>>55419748
Yeah axe is S+1, AP-2 and Plague Weapon. 5 points.

Sword is S user, AP -3 and Plague Weapon. 6 points.

Of all their recent designs I'm most impressed with Ynnead trio. The Visarch has a simple melding of eldar styles, Yvraine has some beautiful detailing, especially on her dress, and the Yncarne is suitably over the top because it's the avatar of a god.

Nah, Primaris are great, there's just not enough upgrade kits out for them. The Primarines are plain so you can glue your own bling on and a little goes a long way. Mine have about six Exalted Sorcerer parts spread out over a 700 point force and everybody can clearly tell they're Thousand Sons without them looking overloaded.

Wouldn't bother with the 3 model squad.
Sure basically having 3+ instead of 4+ to hit is nice. But you are paying a lot of points for something you just don't need in an army that can spam mortal wounds like few others.

I would get 1, maybe too at most and put my money and points in something more fun on the table.
>>
>>55419546
Ryza warlord trait is "pick one weapon on your Warlord when you deploy your army. Increase it's Strength and Damage by 1", and it cant be used on a Relic

its not GREAT because the Dominus weaponry is all either low rate of fire, no AP, or both, so its a bit schizophrenic. But it can give your Volkite Blaster a bit more of a bite if you dont want to take the Ryza relic (a souped-up Volkite Blaster) to free you up for another relic (like the 3-shot AP-3 Phosphor Serpenta) or you can use it on your Omnissian Axe or something. It's not GREAT, but I'm just a big fan of Destroyers aesthetically and ran a bunch of numbers to verify that the Ryza strategem turns them from mildly threatening to one of the most point-efficient sources of anti-tank/elite infantry damage I know. So after them you just need to check enemy hordes and get support units and shit.

There's also that strategy we know that lets you combo kastelans and destroyers. Im not sure how I feel about it yet, partially because I dont actually own any kastelans
>>
>>55419821
Whatever you do make sure to throw your infantry in wave serpents, they're really strong this edition.

>>55419712
Well, I think the Combi-Meltas are awful because they're overcosted, especially since the Combi-Plasma synergizes so well with the Legion trait.

So either 5 Combi-Plasma, 5 Bubotic Axes or 4 Axes, 1 Flail, 1 Blight Launcher and 3 Combi-Flamers.

Probably not when you take in to account that at that point they're basically fast dreadnoughts with relentless, a 5++, a 5+++, a -1 to hit them in melee, an aura/cover effect, and a 50% chance to explode.

They're also nurgle daemons so benefit from things like nurgle daemon powers/aura effects - to do things like heal wounds at range or give them +1 strength... Then there's epidemius - who buffs the crap out of nurgle daemons when they manage to kill stuff - which these guys probably will.

Btw 3 similarly equipped hellbrutes cost 372 points - not that you'd probably take them, I get that.

How bad is this 1500 list for DG?

10 Cultists - 40

Bloat-drone w/ H. Blight Launcher - 134
Bloat-drone w/ H. Blight Launcher - 134

Plagueburst Crawler w/ Mortar, 2 Entropy Cannons, Rothail Stubber - 162
Plagueburst Crawler w/ Mortar, 2 Entropy Cannons, Rothail Stubber - 162
Plagueburst Crawler w/ Mortar, 2 Entropy Cannons, Rothail Stubber - 162

Simple, typical Death Guard style, zombies with Typhus get in the way or take objectives, the cultists try to stay on an objective out of LoS and not die. The shooty stuff hangs around the DP, advancing behind the zombies if needed.

I kinda feel I'm wasting the Prince a bit, although he is a nasty counter charge unit. I think I have to go rule of cool on this.
>>
>>55420089
You're not paying for the Bloat Drone melee weapon.

Also wings will probably cost something.
>>
>>55420079
Always prime your miniatures anon. Always.
Base paints lay a foundation for your layer paints. They are very opaque, and cover up your primer.
Layer paints usually are of the colour you actually want your miniature to look like in the end, they are a bit transparent, and the basecoat will make them look better.

Duncan has a nice guide for this.

I used to run renegades and heretics like this last edition and I'll tell you, depending on the game and opponent - it's too slow to really get anything done.

In the renegades list, plague zombies and (stationary) artillery were about half what they cost under the current book, even without the add ons to the crawlers and such. I had tons of points left over for chimeras and chaos spawn (which were like 12 points a peice and faster than they are now).

All you've got that'll get out of your backfield are the blight drones and they've got standoff firepower anyway.

Maybe you'll get lucky and everything will happen on your side of the table, but that never worked out in my case so I just built up an offense knowing my side of the table was firmly controlled and the artillery would lay down some hurt, but never enough (and this was pie plates).

the -1 to get hit is enough for dragoons to deny overwatch and you get a turn 1 charge anyways if you really want to

I've been looking to get a Raven Guard Craftworld tactics for my own team of Exodite weirdos, so there's that. The fact that a lot of factions have similar tactics is... I don't know.

It's not exactly samey since they have much different units to work with those overarching tactics, but the small buffs seem more balanced than a smattering of a bunch of wildly different tactics between factions like 7e gave us, which trended from almost useless to fringe situational to so broken why would anyone choose anything else but these two/three options?

Do they really, or are you mistaking thematic differences with mechanical differences? I think if you examine the codices and indices, you'll find that the differences between a GEQ across the codexes are very slight, with the same being true for MEQ and TEQ. 8th edition seems to be going the way of homogenization in almost every aspect, which worries me. If the only differences between units are small numbers tweaks, then 8th edition will be even more solved and feature less diversity than 7th.

Well basically for the points I mentioned. 21 wounds with a 5++ and a 5+++ on bodies that can move 10 inches and fire without penalty for the about the cost of predators (assuming upgrades) with 22 wounds, no invulnerable and have to stay stationary.

Both speed and heavy weapons are at a premium in a death guard army, but moreover - these guys seem to fit in to the strategy of slow blobs of infantry - who they can keep up with, provide an aura for as well as fire support while being able to shrug off (roughly 2/3rds) of incoming fire with their various saves.

TLDR; It's a synergy thing

>>How often does cover even come up in 8th edition.

. . . every game?
>>
>>55420423
Every so often but when it does, it fucks things up seriously unless you can overcome it somehow. Suddenly you need double the amount of wounds to kill those tactical marines out of cover.

SM
7 CTs

CSMs
8 CTs

7 CTs

DE
Probably 3 CT equivalents

Hopefully they don't try to force 7 too much and stick to a decent number that has a decent degree of uniqueness.

what kind of board are you playing on, that cover rarely comes up?

Basically the units are either out of vision, because they're hiding behind a wall, or at least one of the miniatures is in vision and then the whole unit counts as in vision. It doesn't help that infantry have to be in ruins rather than have ruins between them and the shooting unit in order to get a cover bonus.

Are there any digital tools to build detachments and armies?

Also why is there a power rating on things, but other places mentions "points" which seems different?

For as much as the Putrid Choir was mentioned I was hoping they'd have some painted models in the codex. Those fuckin black armored plague marines/blightlords looked great though.

But how would i divide them up if i do take 90 of them.

20
20

Battlescribe exists.
Power rating is basically for beginners and fun, narrative games. Points are for a bit more advanced list building, they allow you to tweak units and maybe squeeze in another unit, for example.
>>
>>55420600
4x 20 Walkers for a total of 80 seems a pretty fair amont.
Either go 3x20 or 4x20. Less is too few, more is overdoing it I think

Power Rating is a new method of list building, meant to be more informal. Most people use points still. Power Rating works like this: for every unit in your army, tally up the power rating for that unit to get the power rating of your army. Power Rating isn't affected by wargear, so you can include as much or as little as you want.

Power Rating does have one rules consequences though, even for points games: some rules like summoning or stratagems work based on power rating.

6x15=90

each would have to lose 5 before they lost their attack bonus... which is likely on the first couple at least, but the bonus only applies to unit with "more than 10 models" so the 10s don't get the bonus to hit.

Quick question boys.
Can GK psychic power Vortex of Infinity also hurt my own dudes? Cause I've been playing it like that (since last edition it could hurt anybody)
Have I been doing it right?
Or have I been stupid not casting it when I reach close combat?

A frequent poster who's a huge Chaos fan and enjoys getting into protracted lore discussions on how Chaos is the best ever. Tends to rile people up due to his rather condescending tone and propensity to cherrypick lore that suits his narratives. Very big fan of Black Library writer Aaron Demski-Bowden for the same reason he has garnered some criticism: putting Chaos on a pretty big pedestal that leaves Imperium factions as villainous morons (save the handful of characters he likes, which includes Sigismund and very much does not include the Emperor) and Xenos factions as irrelevant footnotes.

Here's the non-retarded version. It was a matter of time before the Mortarion versus Draigo fight got retconned. No mention of writing names into hearts, you'll notice.

Or maybe we can actually remember than Codices are supposed to be propaganda for their faction and stop screeching at each other about muh canon and muh retcons, but I'm not holding my breath.

Didn't the heart-writing happen later, as revenge for Geronitan being killed in this battle?

Is it for something specific?

You might wanna try and squeeze in a venom for the archon + incubi.

If you're up against tanks I'd maybe put a couple of those 5 man Kabs into a raider to free up a venom? I don't have the point costs to hand but it should still be within 500pts.

If you're expecting more infantry keep it as it is. You have 20 pts free (assuming you're playing at 500pts) so you may be able get a better weapon for your Archon (I can't remember that a stock Archon has desu).
