You sicken me
Any britfags in the berkshire area? Visiting in the end of January and am looking to buy a Ghostkeel. Was thinking if there's a nice FLGS or store that sells with a good discount to GW in either Reading or Windsor (or anywhere nice and scenic that is nearby)
>>43693531
shut up carnac, you'll never be happy
>>43693526
No, we need monsters damage table
Except for mechanicus, eldar and tau
Those aren't real monsters
>>43693546
Why would carnac want the chicken?
>>43693554
They should have made the Ta'unar and Stormsurge SHV. Too bad the rules for GCs are much better then SHV rules since you can get extra saves and ignore more stuff.
>>43693571
Chicken posters are the only people stupid enough to respond to continuously take his bait.
New Chaos Space Marine Codex when? It would be cool to have an army that doesn't take half its stuff from Chaos Daemons since the main army doesn't have that many great options.
http://pastebin.com/9rT6GwyS
come on FW... old or similar versions of current vehicles ok, but why would Spess Mureehns need even bigger tanks?
Wait wait, because of all that titans and knights and stuff. Wasn't 40k supposed to be a *miniature* game?

I guess Geedubs wants CSM players to play 30k
>>43693595
My friend started a KDK gorepack army and now that he heard Khorne won't be supported after 7e he is pretty butt hurt.
He knows CSM is garbage and doesn't want to try them yet he doesn't like the idea of playing an army like Daemons.
>>43693607
I would but I'd like to avoid shipping prices since I'll have me a nice big luggage that'll be mostly empty. I figured if I find a decent price for it (like say 10-20% off GW like most webstores do) I might fetch one while I'm there.
>>43693611
here you go, dirty boy
>>43693583
Stormsurge a walker, Tau'nar a creature.
Reason?
Because the Stormsurge literally anchors itself to the fucking spot if anything should have rear armour values it should be the fucking Stormsurge.
Monstrous creature for most big ass robots, Walker for clunky shit that's genuinely too unagile to protect it's own butt, or that has exposed pilots and thus a transparent vulnerable spot.
>>43693645
oh baby
>>43693645
>>43693596
If it had wings people would buy it anyway and this hurts me.
So since Necron don't have a Knight unit. What would you think of having a plastic Pylon with 8hp or so being the counter to LoW in other lists? And keep it at 420 points about? Are there updated rules for it with HP yet? This would seem the quickest way to give Necrons a non-suck LoW choice in the current meta. Since it seems everyone you want to play hates FW stuff out of hand, but will spam freaking Knights out the ass. Is this the only recourse.
>>43693620
This is exactly what I said in the 30k thread. Sticking to 30k mostly until a new CSM Codex is released.
>>43693623
Show him my list
http://pastebin.com/9rT6GwyS
It's daemon heavy, but really CSM these days is hard to pull off without being daemon heavy.
>>43693684
hm, maybe they give it the heavy tank shock rule with the ability to crush other tanks
>>43693596
So the Land Raider is already of dubious value nowadays because it's basically just an oversized APC so you pay 250 points for a moving box...
And they decided to make this thing an even bigger, even pricier undergunned transport?
Genius.
>>43693698
You act like they need a LOW or something
>>43693719
or the ability to carry Dreads into assault, like the currently released imba one.
>>43693655
What gets me the most about the stormsurge's creature status is the fact that it's fucking open topped. Following that same line of thinking, sentinels should be monsters as well. A unit where the crew and control panel are clearly shown should be walker, even more so that its not a harness like the dread knight, but an actual cockpit like a tank.
>>43693698
Pylon is useless because it had Skyfire and interceptor and 7th edition decided all models with those two rules had to turn to overpriced shit.
This hurts my soul, after I went to so much effort to convert one from plastic GW bits then never got to play it with working rules.
>>43693742
GW planning ahead, make all these things monsters, then suddenly change it with codex update.
>>43693742
Shit I'd make a Walker:
Sentinel, War Walker, Dreadknight, Stormsurge, Penitent Engine.
Most other shit, prolly MC. It's being clunky and/or having a gaping vulnerability that justifies rear armour that's the main thing.
>>43693728
>You act like they need a LOW or something
They should have one and I want a LoW choice in all the army that ain't crap (Well, baring Orks but that's totally different topic). So a Pylon is the easy fix really just need rules for it that fit it in in the current edition. Or just make it so that no fucking Knights in pick up games. Knights are stupid unless it's a 3000+ points game anyway.
>>43693752
>This hurts my soul, after I went to so much effort to convert one from plastic GW bits then never got to play it with working rules.
Is there a worse feeling than that? Spending time, effort and dosh on making something and then soon after it gets squatted, nerfed to oblivion or modified in a way that it's a different unit entirely?
>>43693795
>no fucking Knights in pick up games.
You can
You know
Just not play against faggots like that
Just saying
>>43693752
>Skyfire and interceptor
You know I'd be ok if it stayed like that. All they have to do is add like a Titan-Killer rule whwew it fights at it's normal BS at GMC or Super Heavy vehicles. And then just snap fires at everything else. Would make where you would never spam the thing for smaller games. And it would only be around when fuckers started dropping Knights and shit like that. It would keep it balanced I think.
>>43693795
>>43693858
I kinda agree with both of y'all. I fought my friend's GK with a knight-errant and if I didn't take weapons against it, he'd have creamed me like a JAV bukkake video. On the other hand, it's a huge gamble for him because if you take it out in lower point games, that's like 1/3 of his army right fucking there.
>>43693858
>You can
>You know
>Just not play against faggots like that
>Just saying
When every other fucker autism fag has at least Knight to drop on the table.
You know I really wish it wasn't like that but it is. You're kind of an idiot not to know this. And asking no Knights will get you the whiniest of shit fits.
>When faced with the stoic walls and defenses alien races, the Fire Caste had no choice but to throw their heaviest weapons against them. Although successful, engagements like these cost the lives of too many brave hammerhead tank crews. Too have greater success with fewer casualties was imperative, and it was with this in mind that the Ethereals petitioned the Earth Caste to create a capable weapon. The firepower came quickly, and easily, but when faced with a reliable platform the Earth Caste stumbled. It was Fio Butterscotch Vagina Face who was first to abandon the reliable hammerhead chassis and craft a new platform from scratch. The first in the line of new "ballistic suits" would perform two tasks. From afar it would anchor itself into the ground and pound upon the fortifications of the enemy until they were but rubble. Upon their destruction it would then storm the rubble, striding higher than even the new riptide battlesuit, its secondary weapons surging forth to annihilate the stunned survivors.
>Upon the Hive World of Agrellan the new Stormsurge battlesuit made its mark not only upon city walls, but to the delight of the fire caste commanders its weapons were equally adept at contending with the grotesque "Knight Titans" who defended them.
It's too late, it's fucked.
Finally found the pic.
Is the Knight Titan in OP based on this?
>>43693495
Why is the guardsman the only one without a meme face?
>>43693723
Something about it has better assault rules or something.
>>43694164
Because he's an thinking "The shit I put up with" and "Fuck you faggots". Every other race is literally super for some reason, while guardsman is just some bloke.
>>43693543
Bumping for this. Come on lads. 45 pounds is hefty in eurobux.
Here's an idea for discussion: take a unit from your codex that either fails to fufill its intended role, or has an unclear role at best, and try to rework it in a way so that it becomes more viable.
I'll start: take the basic godhammer pattern land raider, and replace its twin linked heavy bolter with a twin linked lascannon. Give it a new rule:
advanced targeting uplink
>if the land raider does not move, in the following shooting phase it may either gain tank hunter and monster hunter or fire one if its weapons twice. Reduce its transport capacity to 5 to make room for the other lascannon generator and essentially turn it into a razorback/predator on steroids. Keeps its point cost at the current 250.
The other raiders work well as assault transports while the godhammer was weirdly mixed as a tankhunter and transport, so I thought why not go all the way as an anti armour unit?
>>43694392
Warp Talons.
Make their blind always work, give them grenades, make them not scatter when deepstriking and make them able to charge on the turn they arrive. That way they would actually fulfill their role as alpha strikers and be worth the 30 points a pop as well.
>>43693596
>>43693645
You know looking at that makes me think with a little reworking. You could make this into a count as Squat landtrain car like the engine maybe or one of the other pieces in the long train.
>>43694451
That's a bit much. Even the Raven Guard formation with the Vanguard and scouts make you work to get to that point.
You were able to do that sort of stuff in 5th edition. And it was boring and sucked the fun out of the game when your dudes got wiped and there was nothing you could do about it.
Kind of like shooting now.
How are Tempestus Scions? Is it worth loading them with Melta/Plasma guns and deep striking behind vehicles, etc.?
>>43694504
I just don't see the point in making a unit with the intention of deepstriking it and inflicting blind... when they still scatter and the blind doesn't really work that often. And it's an assault-only unit.. with no assault grenades and they're stuck sitting around like fucking muppets when they're whole purpose for existing in the fluff and the tabletop is to ASSAULT as a rapid-strike unit from the warp, in a surprise attack.
And they do NONE of these things even remotely well AND you pay a premium for the privilege of sucking.
Just wonder how this goes.
In the Shield of Ball stuff for Necrons. In their Relics of the War in Heaven list it doesn't say anything about one per model like the Necron codex list. So could I put the Edge of Eternity and Solar Thermasite onto the same Overlord? It's not like they have a lot of stuff anyway.
>>43694392
Leman Russ
Bring back old Lumbering Behemoth rule (can fire all weapons at full BS regardless of movement or the nature(ie. Ordnance) of the weapons fired, but can only move 6+d6" if going cruising speed). Maybe also give it some kind of
independent targeting rule for the sponson weapons, too, but I think that should apply to all vehicles, not just the Russ.
>>43693495
Hey to all of those in the know, I heard that the World Eaters in 30k operate similarly to the Carcharodons in 40k crunch wise.
Is this true? Is there any main difference? From what little I have seen they do seem similar.
I ask because this would give me an insight into how both work, and maybe let me understand both of their upsides and downsides.
Thanks guys.
>>43694585
This, Warp-Talons deserve to be stupidly good in the new book.
Give them AP2 as well, they cut through reality but not terminator armour? Fuck off with that fanfiction tier writing GW or actually reflect it on the table
This will never happen so we as might well go full broken shit in our dreams here.
>>43694577
Back when I played I had two melta suicide squads of Scions that'd deepstrike behind the biggest, juiciest rear-board target they could and light shit up until they died or the game was over. They consistently made more than their points back, but a part of that was sheer luck with scatter rolls and regroup tests, plus my opponent would usually leave their high-value shit with juicy gap towards an open area in the terrain.
>>43694392
Pulse driver cannon gets armorbane and an extra shot
Cluster missile becomes 2d6+6
It gets a networked markerlight
Will Shadowsun die, or at least be crippled?
>>43694710
Posting the superior version.
>>43694727
Fuck off.
>>43694392
Flayed Ones:
Can run and charge the turn they deep strike. They are kind of totally pointless without this really.
Oh, and make Scarab swarms 5+ armor save again or cheaper maybe.
>>43694733
No.
>>43694392
Remove Flash Gitz as a unit altogether. Any normal Nob may take a Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, or Kustom Mega Blasta.
Git Findas are a flat +1 bonus to Ballistic Skill.
Any Ork Nob/Mekboy can take a Kustom Job for *any* ranged weapon at 5 points/upgrade. Meks get the first upgrade free. Big Meks get the first two free. Upgrades are like in the 4e Ork dex: Shootier (+1 Strength), More Dakka (+1 shot), or Blasta (-1 AP, no extra gets hot tacked on).
The fluff mentions snazzguns as being everything from multi-barreled rocket propelled tubes to energy casters. Why not have some fun with that?
>>43694733
Dude he worked hard to make that in photoshop. All that hardwork deserves meme status don't you think?
>>43694392
4 Hull points
It Will Not Die as standard
>>43694784
Celery man?
>>43694667
Destroying high value units and causing havoc is what I'm looking for, and its great to hear that suicide squads work out.
I was also thinking of bringing Scout Sentinels to cover more ground with my Mechanized Army, and to slap an Augar Array on one to make it easier to send in the Scions.
So tomorrow my friend wants me to play with some of his Imperial Knights and Adeptus Mechanicus units cuz he's trying to convert me back to the Imperium since I am a Chaos guy. I have never played with either before. Based on what I have seen him have, I am pretty damn sure I can run this list. Is it good? I have never faced IKs and Cult Mechanicus before so idk how these guys work.
+++Imperial Knight Baronial Court+++

-Rapid-fire Battle Cannon

>>43694621
I'd love to have the option of +1 BS to Focus Fire on a single target if I have sponsons and don't Split Fire at normal BS with a Russ.
>>43694392
Give the Flamestorm Cannons Torrent. Increase the price to 250 points like the other two models. Allows the sponsons to hit the same target, freeing PotMS for the Multi-Melta or Assault Cannon.
>>43694845
Personally, I wouldn't put an array on a S.Sentinel. They always felt too fragile for something like that. A Hellhound variant, maybe, or possibly a Chimera or Russ that blitzes up the board, but 2HP AV10 Open-Topped is not something I'd sink points into.
>>43694621
>Bring back old Lumbering Behemoth rule (can fire all weapons at full BS regardless of movement
That was never the old Lumbering Behemoth rule, it was that you can fire one more weapon then you were normally allowed which meant moving 6'', firing the main gun and then ONE weapon OR staying still and firing all guns. Now Leman Russes can fire more weapons then they ever could before, Im not sure why you fags keep bitching about this when the only two Ordnance tanks got slightly nerfed, did you cunts glue sponsons to your battle tanks and now cant unglue them or some shit?.
Thinking of starting up a SM list with a Chapter Master, but can't seem to find the rules for one that isn't papa smurf in the codex, any help?
How goofy would it be for me to model something like this on my BA successor chapter master? The chapter has a tradition that only the chapter master can drink Warboss blood.
>>43695113
Forgot my picture.
>>43695112
Apply yourself
>>43695112
All the other characters are canon Chapter Masters. For a generic one, the Captain HQ has an upgrade that turns him into a Chapter Master.
>>43695113
>>43695144
Go for it. This is 40k, don't take it too seriously.
>>43695113
>>43695144
>How goofy
Do you even need to ask that?
>>43695144
Quite goofy indeed. But they're your models, if you want that, don't let anyone stop you,
>>43695173
>>43695185
Thanks.
Any rumors of Blood Angels in Mont'ka?
New Chaplain gives me hope.
Will a Decurion save Blood Angels?
Why are Sanguinary Guard considered bad because their weapons are two-handed?
Take the chapter banner and they get 4 attacks on the charge and one re-roll on a missed attack. That's as good as 5 attacks with no re-rolls.
>>43694989
Thanks, I'll probably take a Hellhound variant instead, considering its a Fast tank and the AV isn't too bad. I'm not familiar with Deep Striking shit, so I'd like to keep it safe and use an Array of some sort.
>>43695204
You'll get NOTHING
>>43694392
Make this a codex option
>>43695204
>Why are Sanguinary Guard considered bad because their weapons are two-handed?
2-handed is one of the shittiest rules, fluffy but all it does is deny a pistol or extra cc bonus.
Two-handed items used to be relevant in the old Chaos / Orks books and governed what kind of gear you could carry
They should give them concussive or 1+ strength, the rule just hurts it's user.
>>43695204
Don't know. People seem to think that three attacks with master crafted on the charge is worse than four attack on the charge, which it isn't, it's actually statistically slightly better.
They are very expensive though.
>>43695020
Different guy. I did but I'm not that bitter about it. Now I use multi-melta sponsons. It works out pretty decently for me. If it's a blob or a tank a long range I shoot the battle cannon, and snap shot the other weapons. If the target is a vehicle close up I shoot the melta sponsons and skip the battle cannon. It works out pretty decently for me.
>>43693620
It worked. Tbh Im glad to be distancing myself from 40k. Im not a fan of the formations and the crazy power creep/power gaps.
>>43693723
It'll be a monstrous creature to ensure sales.
>>43695251
>it's actually statistically slightly better.
What? explain to me how rolling an extra dice when you miss one attack is better than just rolling an extra dice.
>>43693858
I think 1 Knight is ok in pick up games.
>>43694651
Yeah I wouldnt get my hopes up CSM bros. I expect to see a Blood Angels tier update, with what will be the worst formations in the game.
>>43695020
Mmmm, basically. Hadda go dig it up, since my old 'dex is not near me atm and I haven't read it for yonks. The 5e rules were (excluding Fast vehicles etc.)
>0-6" All weapons
>6-12", 1 weapon + all weapons below S4
>12" No weapons
>ordnance = cannot fire any other weapons, full stop.
Now show me on the Space Marine where the Battle Cannon touched you.
>>43694392
Drop the price a bit or give the main gun an alternate ammo type. Bane cannon could fire a high explosive shell that's similar but a little weaker to how it is now, maybe a S8 AP3 massive blast. The alternate mode would be geared to killing a single target fast. Trying to think of the profile that wouldn't be stupidly OP or under powered. Perhaps make it SD 3" blast, I don't know.
>>43695362
That is entirely dependent on the rest of the army. If it's all grav spam or invisa death star, I'll still call the guy a faggot and not play him.
So would it be acceptable to use different chapter tactics for your marine army?
Like one game I use imperial fist chapter tactics and maybe the sentinels of terra formations.
Another game I use the new raven guard formations in kauyon with raven guard tactics and maybe captain shrike.
As long as I let my opponent know beforehand it's not too cheesy is it? I don't want to be locked into one playstyle with the marines, the whole marine schtick is their flexibility to me.

>>43695876
No, you're perfectly fine with using different chapter tactics to suit whatever army you're running. I used to do that all the time until I settled in cozy with the Raptors Tactics.
Also, as another point. The Badab War Chapter Tactics are your best friend for varying it up, as with all of the Badab War Characters. You can seriously catch people off guard with some of them like Lias Issodon making Infiltrating Power Armor, or Sevrin Loth with the ability to PICK his psychic powers.
So, there's a few you should really look into for mixing shit up. Space Sharks, Raptors, Mantis Warriors, and Red Hunters are some of the best tactics for surprising the shit out of an opponent.
Predictions for the 7E Ig?
People keep asking me if I've bought the Horus Heresy box yet.
Why would I? I don't play armies of the Imperium and even if I did, why would I get a box that's mostly just less poseable tacticals?
And yet they keep asking.

Sanguinius. He's basically the superest of the super men, and that's horribly trite.

>>43696142
Yes
>>43696116
One unit of basically anything is fine if you don't do dumb combos like invisibility tricks.
Don't take flyers under 1000 points. Not because they're too good, they aren't and prolly won't win you the game, they just distort the format of the game in a shitty way that makes it less fun for both parties.
So after playing 40k since release of 5th edition marines. Getting bored of it completly. Then reinvesting when the Magic crack den became a actual FLGS. And getting disintrested again i have realized i need a new army. I am stuck between chaos(have some shit for them already. Zerkers,DP,Lord in termie armour,10 bloodletters and 10 Plaguebearers+DV Chaos shit) Eldar(3 jetbikes,Farseer,Warlock,5 OLD 2nd? ed or older Rangers.) And Tau(I have fuck all so this is most wallet pain) I know Chaos suck in 6-7th ed. Even with daemons. But as a general fun to paint/build level all armies seem great. Tau have dem suits(most expensive army after i did my mathemagic) And cool infantry. Eldar have the best lookin vehicles and Chaos is cool overall(but fuck MORE POWER ARMOUR). Any advice how to decide fellow fa/tg/uys?
>>43696162
Okay, do me a favour:
Line up all the tactical marines armed with bolters from the box next time you're in a GW store. All in a line.
Note in awe the spectacular monopose.
Marines are always kinda samey in most squads, but not -that- samey nowadays.
>>43696224

>>43695920
>Predictions for the 7E Ig?
IG will remain a medium to medium-high tier army. Ogryns will remain unuseable. GW will release another Commissar model despite there being more than a dozen sculpts.
>>43695970
well the space sharks get fear, pistol/ccw for a point, and gain rage after destroying a unit or causing them to fall back. that along with the decurion, chapter tactics (what ever it's called that gives reroll). so you get a mid game reward which is cool but it doesn't seem worth it to me, but i'm a filthy chaos dude so what do i know?
world eaters get a butt load of special rules and weapons. might wanna ask the 30k guys

Does anyone here know of IG heads that have face-covering helmets? I think I saw ones that were specifically based off of Doomguy, but I don't know who made them. I'm not looking for Tempestus Scions, necessarily, but if they're the closest approximation they'll do.
>>43696471
FW has Cadian heads with full helmets. I think it's called hostile environment gear or hostile atmosphere something?
>>43696471
Cadians or if you hate money, Forge World Elysians.
>>43696368
I'm pretty convinced that the issue is that you can't pose the legs. I would throw money at a kit that had multi-part legs as well as multi-part arms.
The most I've ever been able to do was put one of these clowns in the CQC Stance, holding his combat knife parallel to his bolter.
>>43696357
Could you explain to a non-Marine player (which I guess I can't say really now due to BaC)? Are the new terminator boxes all chapter specific like DA Termis with robes, Blood Angel Termis with ... blood, etc?
>>43696471
Pig Iron has a few if you're cool with third party bits. They fit Cadians perfectly as well.

Quick, everyone give me the worst 40k puns you can think of!
>>43696538
Yeah, the Dark Angels have their specific termie box that makes deathwing termies and deathwing knights.
Blood Angles also have their chapter specific assault termie box. Both sets have their chapter specific stuff. The generic termie box is kind of boring, not a lot of details or bits and the poses are not very dynamic. Needs to be updated badly.

They're old kits man. You don't shame a CSM player who pines for new Chaos Marines because you can do good things with them if you're good at modelling. Don't do the same for those of us who want updated Terminators. #AllTerminatorsMatter

How extensive is the use of AI, besides the use of drones, among the Tau? Are there AI advisers/administrators or something of that style?
>>43697431
Drones, targeting assistance in suits, presumably the same in their fleet, but AI is meant to help people I don't think it's used autonomously yet
So I get how Thousand Sons are topping this they are the most tragic and interesting Chaos Legion.
http://strawpoll.me/5930412/r
I get how Astra Militarum is topping this they have overall the most options as an army in 40k and it's cool to see normal humans fight all sorts of aliens and monsters.

But WHY oh WHY are the Salamanders leading the best Space Marine chapter poll? They are black and they like to burn things. That's all there is to them.

>>43697431
water-cast have assistant drones, and they have engrams of peoples minds. (Ob'latai and puretide)
>>43697431
Extremely common, Everyday sighting. They go all the way from drones that help citizens with their shopping, drones that do heavy lifting. Construction Drones. Combat Drones. Flying Drones. Space Drones. Repair Drones, "Micro-drones" That get injected into people's blood and help repair their bodies internally, and such.
But despite how ubiquitous they are, the Tau Drones are roughly as intelligent as the simple AI's you find in real life. Which naturally means they're completely retarded and only capable of performing a single task; which they can do fairly well. You could compare their intelligence to that of a squirrel.
>>43697509
>But WHY oh WHY are the Salamanders leading the best Space Marine chapter poll? They are black and they like to burn things. That's all there is to them.
They're post human blacksmiths that live with their families and value human life.
Okay so what if
Right
What if AP worked backwards
So you had AP values between 2 and 7
2 did nothing
3 means the best armour save you can take against it is a 3+, 2+ saves are demoted to 3+
4 means 2+ and 3+ saves are demoted to 4+
And so on up to 7 which ignores all armour saves
I haven't eaten anything all day
>>43697509
> Why are salamanders so popular
Because they're good people. Salamanders are the only space marine chapter that actually allows and even encourages their marines to visit their donor families whenever not fighting, or making shit.
That also brings to mind the fact that they actually make shit. Brand new shit, of artificer quality. They're all craftsmen that make stuff and lovingly maintain them in flawless quality. Heck, nearly all of their artifacts weren't items of religious or supernatural power, but simply made by space marines in momentary fits of artistic brilliance.

>>43694392
That is basically my thinking exact for the Land Raider. Either that or make it 220pts with tri-Bolter turrets and have the lascannons as options.
Anyway. I spend a lot of time reworking and homebending Warhammer, yet I don't think I can answer your question. I either change entire armies, or tweak lone items of wargear. Example:
Power Spear/Lance
Range -, Strength U, AP 2, Melee, Unwieldy, Spearwall, Charger
Spearwall: This weapon does not count as Unwieldy in the first round of any close combat in which the bearer is involved.
Charge: This weapon gains +1 S on the charge.
Power Lances are now more attractive to more units, and have some utility outside of the charge, without being outright better than the current profile.

Anyone ever tried using Skarbrand with Green Tide? 100 orks with Hatred and Rage sounds interesting...

It depends on what you want to do.
My lists usually involve one or two units that I can't fit into an FOC or other so I just make everything unbound and toss them in.

Alright I've been looking at the eldar for some time now and I've got to ask, how's there learning curve? are they difficult to use? or are they some what like say, Space marine and crons in terms of difficulty play wise?
How well does /tg think this list will work in a semi-competitive FLGS? There's a few people running 30k shenanigans in 40k games, like primarchs and weird vehicles; and there's some fluffy eldar/chaos players as well.

Eldar are slightly steeper than Marines or Necrons, but that's only because if you fuck up your positioning, things die very fast. You can mitigate that somewhat by going with a jetbike army and bringing a wraithknight. People may not like you though.

Replace bolter with ccw+pistol for free or add ccw for 2 like all legions. Replace chainswords with chainaxes does free if properly WYSISYG.
They have to sets of rules; the first being so bad that fw gave then an update the next book so I'll skip that and tell you about Blood Madness : Rage but must always try to charge if possible and can never fail a leadership check due to Our Weapons Are Useless. Might also lose the ability to go to ground voluntarily.

>>43699599
A quadgun hasn't been viable anti-air since it was introduced. Get some Heldrakes of your own, or maybe a hellblade. Chaos Fire Raptor is also good. Relying on snapshots that aren't twinlinked and also don't have good volume of fire is also a losing strategy for dealing with things that fly.
You're not taking enough rapiers to be a serious threat to knights, or even to SM battle company really. You don't have enough melta to reliably take them out either. Maulerfiends are a better bet for Knights.
>>43699651
>shop dominance
Lmao. Literally nobody cares about your scrublands LGS.
You will have a better time with 40k in the long run if you stop caring about things as petty as your win-loss record.
>>43699720
Blast! I wanted to get away with not bringing in additional detachments. I'll think on it a bit more, thanks for the help!
>>43699390
First you can't take the spawn. They are only unlocked through the Master of Renegades rule which doesn't have a way to unlock spawn since you can't take covenant of tzeentch in the vraks book (Spawn being in the book was a editing error, its suppose to be the Marauders entry)
Also its really hard to understand what your troop sections is. Just say how many infantry there are per squad and what upgrades the unit took. The way you have it written is a giant wall of text and i have to spend time sifting through in order to add together your models to actually know how many models are in the unit. Write it something like this
15x Renegade Command Infantry
w/ Autoguns
+ Krak Grenades
+ 2x Plasmas
+ Chaos Sigil
w/ Demagogue
+ Meltabomb
There. its much more concise and it doesn't clutter the list with extra words (such as referring to everything as renegades)
As to actually critiquing the list if you aren't going to give your infantry squads militia training its not worth giving them lasguns and special weapons. Its much more efficient to equip them with CCW+Pistol because ws2 still hits most things in the game on 4+ so its not a draw back to being ws2 plus you usually cause more damage in close combat anyway (get en extra attack on the charge, attack during both player's turn instead of just in the shooting phase). Of course actually taking special weapons is important so I suggesting making one platoon combat focused (and make their special weapons flamers) and take the saving from that to make the other platoon have special weapon (probably plasma) and militia training. Then take the spare points you have from dropping the spawn you can't take to get a 2nd rapier battery and buff up the size of the CCW platoon.
>>43699344
Both Eldar and Dark Eldar very much rely on positioning and taking advantage of your mobility. You're looking at 4+ saves on 15 point models with T3. One good large blast and you're right fucked outta 90 points.
Be prepared to make cover your friend. Many of your weapons have a surprisingly short range; the cost of shooting with an absolutely terrifying punch. Getting your models there alive will require a lot of deep striking, careful movement, and cover.
This, of course, goes out the window with Wraith units, which play pretty much like Terminators with bigger guns, Terminators with Choppy swords, Dreadnaughts with AV11, and any analogy for Wraithknights being 40K on auto-pilot.
>>43699757
We dont. Were doing a pretty casual escalation league. No ones keeping or caring about score. Its just "oh hey these guys win a lot and we always play the same people. Yall should fight"
Eh, scratch that. Tell the Nid player to listen to this instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7QzxYAjgNc
>>43699772
Ah, my mistake. I thought the newest Forgeworld ruling was that you could use the spawn. Sadly, 4chan appears to have eaten my formatting, but it's good advice for future list ideas, so thanks.
The problem with that advice though, is that the unending host only has one heavy support slot, and I don't know if I can ally in a CAD under 1k points without a massive change, so I dunno if I can get more rapiers.
The Unending Host req is:
1 HQ
4 Troops
--Two of which need to be platoons

Genestealers can assault from outflank or can assault out of a Sporocyst
Pyrovore has an AP2 flamer with assault 2. Would make a good sacrifice unit inside a Sporocyst.
>>43699855
There is no official forge world ruling on the spawn dilemma. There have being email replys saying both things (ones that say you can take spawn and ones that say its an editing problem). Ultimately it clearly is an editing error (as master of renegades doesn't have a way to take a spawn but does have a way to take marauders who's entry is missing) and by strict RAW you can't take Spawn.
You are right that you don't have a slot for another Rapier Battery. The problem is as someone else mention is that you list doesn't have anyway to deal with big impending targets like IKs and such. A few on foot infantry with special weapons just won't cut it (especially without militia training). Renegades heavy lifting comes from the heavy support slot (rapiers, artillery, wyverns, russes) which is the major drawback of the Uneding Horde detachment is that it doesn't get access to those tools. At larger point games you can just take a CAD or the Purge in addition to Unending Host to take care of that problem but at only 1000 pts you can't afford it after taking the troops required to take Unending Host.
My advice if you plan on still running Unending Host is to commit wholly to the infantry. Trim the excess points on special weapons and characters and get as many recycling CCW+pistol renegades as possible with the only upgrades being a chaos sigil and krak grenades. Flood the board and focus on the mission because you aren't going to do a lot of damage with just infantry.
>>43699772
What do you think of this list? The purge was somewhat easier to justify than a full CAD, since minimum mutants are unlikely to do anything.

>>43699344
They actually are more difficult to use if you're brand new to the hobby and don't know rules fluently yet. People will complain about them regardless because for any player that does know the rules, they can easily be made an unbearably powerful army
>>43700128
Well if you are trying to save points your extra renegade detachments don't also need renegade command squads. the 1+ requirement is for the army not detacments so you extra purge detachment can take an enforcer for its HQ slot.
Also I still stand that if you want to take the special weapons on your infantry squads you you give them militia training as well so that you can hit with them.
>>43699792
Different poster here, but would it be a fair characterization to say people are pretty cool with an Eldar list that isn't spamming Wraith units?
I'm a fantasy player who's looking to get into 40k, and I've always enjoyed the Eldar aesthetic and the playstyle you described. I don't have a definitive list, but I'm really enjoying the idea of running a Biel Tan craftworld army; aspect warriors, tanks or walkers, especially the murder clowns in some capacity, and definitely a wraithlord (I've always loved the mini, even when it was the Eldar dreadnought), and then either the smaller wraith dudes, jetbikes, or psychic guys to fill out niches missed in a primarily martial-soldiery list.
I've been lurking these generals for a couple days, and though the Tau seem to be the current complaint of the day, Eldar get tossed around as the measuring stick for cheesy just as much.
The way some people talk about the pointy ears, I don't mind exercising some discretion in choosing which toy soldiers I play with.
>>43699559
Take Anti-Air because I guarantee he's packing two flying hive tyrants
He also abuses jinks and cover with venomthropes by putting his hordes in 4+ ruins, or having his tyrants jink when not in the air for a 2+ cover save
He might also use that horrendously under costed Forgeworld super venomthrope
>>43700133

There will always be the people that have a completely justified hate of the smug cunts that are my spess elves, but most players will just want to play a game.
Don't plop down a Wraithknight, 5 wave serpents, or an all-bike army and you won't lose out on too many games.
>>43700203
I knew I forgot to add another thing to the text. Yeah, the plasmas have militia training, they have no champions, and no melta bombs though. :p
>>43700221
For the most part, you'll be fine if you don't spam anything - one unit maximum for Wraithguard, Jetbikes etc is probably okay. It's when people take 3 units of these things that bring on the hate.
Wraithlords are weak units now, you'll get no hate for that one. If you mean Harlequins by 'Murder Clowns' that will also be okay, as they are actually considered quite weak.
>>43700226
>Forgeworld super venomthrope
Malanthropes are such a wonderful unit, that T5 makes all the difference
>>43694727
We have our new cheese unit boys.
>>43700304
You're list is pretty fine then. The extra heavy support will help a bunch. The only big change I think would be to replace the meltas with flamers since that squad is still only bs2 it will be hard to actually get a hit with two single shot weapons and it will force you to assault vehicles that you can only hurt in close combat. With flamers you will do some damage, will be at targets you are better at assaulting and give you overwatch protection (plus will save 10 points per squad)
Also switch of you CCW squads into the other platoon to make them a command squad. That way their champion becomes a demagogue so you'll have two units with fanatic instead of just one (since being a command squad does nothing unless you take a champion).
Taking the flamers and with the 20 points saved from taking an enforcer in the Purge gives you like 50 pts to play with. Find 5 more and you can take a 2nd (seperate) Earthershaker carriage

Don't be afraid of knights with that much disposable infantry you will swamp a knight in melee and can bog them down like no tomorrow. also at 1000 pts you can only run a max of 2 knights but yeah follow the advice of the other posters and you'll do fine just remember knights are only 1 model and aren't effective at fighting hordes without support (in melee at least). Also knights aren't objective secured so just hold objectives with massed troops and throw the double dukes at any knights.
in addition spread your infantry blobs out make sure they are all spread out it will make them so much harder to kill.

*Can only hurt in close combat with a single meltabomb

I am confused by the enforcer suggestion. Doesn't the 1+ Renegade Command Squad requirement apply to each detachment?
>>43700307
I see, seems fairly easy, variety is the spice of life anyways. And yes, I picked up that moniker for the Harlequins from 1d4chan and I liked it.
>>43700299
Thanks, I guess that can only be expected from mere Mon Keigh.
>>43700609
No. It just says 1+ command squad. No where does it specify detachments.
Hiya Boyz, wondering if it would be better to use Dakkajets or Traktor guns for Vendetta/Heldrakes? Only reason I ask is because I noticed that Skyfire makes them fire at everything else as Snapshots....

Tractor Kannon is the best anti-air in the game for its price.
Been tweaking my 1500 IG list lately.
Not sure if I should keep the second executioner from the HQ squadron to the third Heavy Support slot.
Sorry for the shit formatting.
I tend to try to deepstrike the scions near the chimeras and hold objectives fairly well.
I think to bump up to 1850 I will add more scions to the units.
I have a pretty annoying time against my friends Ravenwing bike squad. He runs all the damn formations with a good handful of meltas.

Then don't do pick up games. Tell people you want to play against them using Knights, let them think up a list built around that. Even fluffwise, most armies have a chance to pick counters to Knights, so it would fit better than in a pick up game anyway
>>43701155
Take Hellhounds, his bikes get no cover saves or Armour saves (if I remember right the AP is 3 right?) I'd also recommend Vendettas, it doesnt seem like he would be able to handle them. Otherwise weight of dice is going to be your friend.
>>43700221
If you only take foot guardians for troops, people have less problems with Eldar.
>>43701548
Inferno Cannon right? AP 4
>>43693596
Looted Battlefortress incoming!
>>43701816
Yeah, the Chem Cannon (Poisoned 2+) is AP3 and the Melta Cannon is AP2.
>>43699319
Ghostkeel has Stealth. (6+)
MV5 Stealth Drones grant any unit they're attached to Stealth, unless the unit already has Stealth, in which case they grant the unit Shrouded. The Ghostkeel already has Stealth, so gains Shrouded. Stealth and Shrouded stack. (4+)
The Ghostkeel has a Ghostkeel Electowarfare suite which doubles the effects of Stealth and/or Shrouded to to a maximum of 2+ against attacks more than 12 inches away. (2+).
So the Ghostkeel does have a 2+ cover save in the open, so long as it's being shot at from more than 12 inches away.
>>43701865
Is it bad that I want to see Chem Cannon with Torrent?
>>43701920
That's the advantage of the inferno cannon. The advantage of the Chem cannon is that it melts space marines, no saves allowed.
>>43695484
Maybe str 10 AP1 3" blast with Armourbane and Wrecker? Making it D would cause the shadowsword to fall further into disuse.
