Any Dark Eldar guy wanna give me some tips on how to work with five slow ass Talos guys in an army? I need them to be there for narrative reasons, but everything else goes on Venoms and Raiders.


Also is the release of Montka the time to finally build a Tau army? I have my narrative Rogue Trader style army cuz I enjoyed reading 1st edition, and my Dark Eldar army (also with a narrative.) Of the other armies who I think look good, that leaves SoB, Tau, and Death Korps. No more Chaos in 40k till they do something right with it. 30k Word Bearers/Thousand Sons when they come out till then.

Its point range, maybe. The only things around its point range are the Baneblade variants (shit) and the Tyranid smaller creatures (shit).

Compare to a WK, the Ta'unar is meh. I'd take 2 of those over a Ta'unar if I could.

What's the best option for a Gundam Tau army? My narrative is gonna be based on mecha and lotsa Fire Warriors/Stealthsuits cuz those look badass.

>>43859255
Its not though. Super Heavy is items with AV, GCs and FGCs have wounds and are not counted as being such

>>43859300

Radium carbines would probably deal toughness damage and get like 1d10 additional damage on a successful "wound."

Are Tesla guns like the Necron things? Because those are definitely statted.

Not sure. As far as I know, the Tesla guns shoot electricity. The necron guns shoot..something else.

Necron Tesla does seem to be an actual lightning gun of some sort.

It's Gauss that's the weird fucker gun. Seems to be from some description a tractor beam that yanks streams of individual atoms off the target or some shit.

Or just not be a POS play. War Con, anything Eldar, Necrons, Daemonkin, SM, Tau, there are a fuckton of good armies in the meta right now, and a good player is better than a good list.

A buddy of mine got 3rd overall at a GT recently using fuckin' BA.

So yeah, get good scrub.

The only non gundam suits you want to be running is Stealthsuits

Start off with something like this and buy more according to your budget and experiences on the battlefield, i'd personally throw in a stormsurge but just depends on what you can afford at the time or just Riptide spam everyone.

>>43859434
Right, I actually forgot the Necrons had a Tesla weapon family, but that seems to be more like a living lightning of some kind. The mechanicus weapons are much more mundane.

Happen to know what he was using?
>>
>>43859554
I faced one recently. Surprisingly squishy for 360 points but can murder most things in the shooting phase.
>>
>>43859554

That's fair. I'm gonna try the one I have over the next little while.

The 4 D missiles will alpha a WK off the table in one turn if you give it 8 MLs of support, and that S10 AP2 with Intercept is awesome.

In LoW limited formats, I think it gets a lot better. Especially if LoW are limited to 0-1 units, because then you can get multiple Stormsurges, which is super-good.
>>
>>43859572
Yes. It's fairly well balanced. Hits like a truck but despite having eight wounds it can die to a fair amount of anti tank.
>>
>>43859368
MECHA and lotsa Fire Warriors and Stealthsuits. Those have nothing to do with Gundam/Mecha they just look cool.

>>43859378
By best I mean what are like the Gundam sized suits they have? Like as opposed to Fire Warriors and Stealthsuits which are more humanoid sized, ones where it's a human dude in the center manning a gigantic robot suit.
>>
>>43859572
Prob same thing with a warhound or multiple wks/ riptides. Prob not.
>>
>>43859572

Depends on context. In an Apoc game, not a big problem as your opponents likely have Warhounds/Phantom Titans. In a pickup game, it's going to be unkillable.
>>
>>43859573

I can't remember everything, and they sadly haven't put up lists yet. From what I remember from looking at the super-well painted models, it was:

Dante
A contemptor dread
Some scouts in landspeeders
A stormraven
And like 40 marines that were assaulting turn 1

That list just meta-broke so hard. People's brains weren't tuned to dealing with BA.

Tau vs Tau game this week.

Turn 2, Opponent fired a Stormsurge's D missile at my Ghostkeel unit.

"Yeah you're snap firing now."

"Okay, I'll shoot the rest of my guns at other stu-"

"Snap firing, yes."

"Wait is that what the rule says?"

"Yeah, you prolly shouldn't have done that."

"Shit, okay I'll just unload on them then."

>0 wounds

And then I deep struck a bunch of fusion blasters and it died.

The only thing to Tau is Tau itself.
>>
>>43859599
maybe try out the new ghostkeel? You get stealth and gundamsize in one neat package!
>>
>>43859599

Yeah, run 9 riptides. You'll win 80% of your games, and make no friends, but you will have a list of gundams.

So what is the rule of thumb for weapon types?

My newbie understanding is such:

Melta for armor and gargantuan things

Grav is for heavy things

Plasma is a riskier grav that can get hot and have a bit longer range

For my Dark Angels will it ever really be worth switching grav for plas?

I run two bike squads one with 2 melts / combi-melts and 2 gravs / comb-grav.

On a side note should I bring another grenade launcher in my current RW Command squad of:

Apothecary, Champion, Ravenwing Banner, Grenade Launcher, Black Knight
>>
>>43859677
>
>>43859686
You cant assault after anything(even fancy and dangerous stuff like skeis of fury) because its unfair, but deepstriking melta to tank rear armor is totally cool
>>
>>43859572
I always expect Tau players to bring two
>>
>>43859729
Grav is for gargantuan things with an armour save, melta is for things with an armour value
>>
>>43859629

Savage.

I maintain that Stormsurges and Ghostkeels aren't OP. The former only have T6 and 3+ armour, whilst the latter can be instanted by Str10. Riptides on the other hand are a bit too good by virtue of their high toughness and AP2 for relatively low cost.

Not sure about Ta'unar though. Near invulnerability and sweet guns sounds good on paper, but at 600 points it's fucked if it gets tarpitted or debuffed.
>>
>>43859707
idk what's worse; you believing him or actually getting hurt by some kroot/tau in assault
>>
>>43859729

Grav theoretically has a speciality, but in practice it's absurdly high rate of fire makes it anti everything-except-daemons.
>>
>>43859597

Fair one, I'm just worried cause i've seen how anal people are about playing FW models in my local shops.

Heh, it's in the OP. You need three Stormravens and three tactical squads with teleport homers.

Stormravens come on turn one. You drop the guys out the bottom. When your reinforcements come in you deepstrike them within 12" of at least two squads and they can assault the same turn.

In a drunken stupor yesterday I seem to have ordered 6x4 Rubber Mat for $30. It is 3/4 inch thick.

I think my idea was to make my own play mat. My primer says it is good for robber but since I will most likely cut it into 2x2 squares for easier storage I am not sure if they will rub off paint on each other.

This wil be an interesting project.
>>
>>43860295
Good man.

>>43860275

The way it works is:

3x Stormravens drop off 3 Tac Squads turn 1

ANYTHING that deep strikes within some distance of them does not scatter and can charge the same turn it arrives.
>>
>>43860239
Seriously? It's got all the information, true, but it's stupid long. I go for something like:
Ranged Support Cadre:

4x Pathfinders
3x Broadside with TLHYMP, TL-SMS

OSC:
3x Stealth Suits

>>43859787

Guy who Keelhauled the stormsurge here:

Total value of the Stormsurge is slightly dependent on how good a target you got for the opening salvo of D. I mean, if you tap two D Missiles on two seperate Wraithknights or Imperial Knights you just won the fucking game right there.

Ignoring D-salvo, which is it's own thing breaking the shit out of the game alone, the remainder of the unit is a bit of a rock paper scissors deal: Either your opponent can quickly deal with a unit that's exactly two carnifexes durable and it fails to make it's points back, or it anchors down and goes to town, flattening the biggest threats to itself first then dominating the table.

All or nothing. It overperforms or underperforms (whether due to bad tactics or a bad matchup) with very little room for middle ground.

Ghostkeels I'm a little more comfortable fielding... I mean, I'm under no illusion it's not overpowered, but it's -the- power unit of my list and does have slightly low firepower for points.

I mean, the fact that the unit is guaranteed to survive the game does mean that it's mildly low per-turn firepower is undone by getting to shoot consistently for six turns, but... Yeah I'll stop talking now.

I feel like im in the wrong codex somehow.

Like i get the concept, stormravens move up the field. Drop the tacs and then youre within charge range but youre not allowed to charge out of deepstrike and theres no special rules that say otherwise.

Could you copy paste the rule where it says you can?

Maybe it's just the games I've had, but I've found the Ghostkeel is far more likely to die than a Stormsurge, simply by dint of operating at closer ranges than the 'Surge.

All it takes is a fast enemy unit and a poor jet pack roll and the Ghostkeel gets wiped out in CC. 3 attacks ain't bad but you're killing mooks first and then anything dangerous hits you back, likely hitting on 3s and wounding on 2s.

I should clarify by saying that we almost exclusively play on 4x4 boards due to a lack of space, which changes the dynamic significantly.

That's pretty short, I guess I could put point values in parenthesis just in case.

As for the list itself its for a game against DE in a ruin/cover filled map. Besides those models all I have right now is a CCS, Primaris Psyker and a HWS (or 3 HWTs).

How many detachments can I take in my army?

They are a hard army to play. The whole DE comparison is to point out that they are a glass cannon with a pretty meh punch. They are slightly more dangerous, slightly tougher guardsmen without the massed numbers and awesome vehicles that make the IG good. They are a very theme-reliant army when taken by themselves, for a masochsitic player, or one that doesn't mind losing.
>>
>>43861240
The problem with Tempestus is that their guns aren't really optimized for killing anything. AP3 is great, but St3 means actually wounding MEQ's is a bit of a chore. And while St3 is good enough for mopping up GEQ's, you're paying for an AP3 that won't get much use, resulting in you getting less shots for your points. They don't have an amazing range either, and suffer from the usual IG problem of getting stomped as soon as someone comes within punching distance.

Some of their issues can be circumvented by the use of Orders (there's one which gives a unit Sniper, which gets around the St3 issue) but that means you're very reliant upon your Command Squads, so there's a built-in weakness that your opponent can gun for.

Grav handles almost everything bolters won't outside of units with 4+ armor saves (heavy bolters and assault cannons work here) and anything with no armor and high Toughness (i.e. Daemon Princes), which plasma is better suited to kill
Melta is for Instant Death against T4 units and vehicles, you want either grav or plasma against Monstrous/Gargantuan Creatures since they can fire more shots in one phase

Right, I am looking to make my own Blood Ravens descendants, so, I made some Psyker-heavy chapter tactics to complement them in friendly games:

1) All Vehicles, Characters and Independant Characters may take a 25-point upgrade to gain "Psyker: Mastery Level 1" or "Psychic Pilot: Mastery Level 1" if the warlord of the army takes this upgrade, they get "Psyker: Mastery Level 2" and may replace 1 weapon with a Force weapon.

2) Detatchment may not include Librarians

Essentially, they are based on a planet that the Tyrant Star has visited an alarmingly large amount of times (then again, 1 time is an alarmingly large amount of times) so, there is a VERY high Psyker presence on the planet.

Is this too OP?
