Master of the Legion is a fuckin mess.
You can only have a RoW on your primary detachment but their are references to the Row on primary and allied detachment furthermor it is said an allied detachment can habe a seperate RoW.

Do you have at least 1000 points in an Allied Detachment. Does your Allied Detachment HQ have Master of the Legion?

Then you can take a RoW for your allied detachment.

Hey /hhg/
I just got the 2 red books 10 Cataphractii termies, 2 FW special weapons kits, and a BaC Command sprue. I'd like to use this to start a Shattered Legion 2500 point list.

Is there a loyalist Legion that is best suited to run 10 Terminators?
>>
>>45332723
Welcome to Forge World, where there are no chainaxes and the Rogue Psyker's points don't matter. Guest star tonight is Xenos Breasts.

Rogue Psyker is 35 points. Look at the FAQ/Errata. Don't know what you mean about the chainaxes though.

Also all legions are suited to run at least 10 terminators. What Legions do you like?

I like Salamanders, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, Imperial Fists, and White Scars.

Don't read the rule that's on pg 15 of the CAL. It's horribly worded and contradicts itself by confusing the terms "army" and "detachment" in the same paragraph Use the ruling in the most recent FAQ which is far, far more clear:

>In order for a Space Marine detachment to have access to Rites of War, it must have as part of that detachment a model with the Master of the Legion special rule. A Space Marine Legion army may only include a single model with this rule as part of their HQ choices per 1,000 points in the force. This will most commonly mean that your army will include either a Legion Praetor or a Primarch to allow access to Rites of War, and this model is also likely to be your army’s Warlord as a result.

>If your army’s Warlord also has the Master of the Legion special rule then you may also roll twice on your chosen Warlord Traits chart and select which of the two you wish to use.

>Only one Rite of War may be chosen for the army, regardless of whether multiple characters with this rule are included, and the Rites of War chosen only affect the force’s Primary Detachment. The only exception to this is that it is possible to have a Rite of War for an Allied Detachment of a large army (as the one model with Master of the Legion per 1,000 points still applies and fulfilling the terms of many Rites of War may not be possible using the allied Force Organisation chart), but this will require a model with the Master of the Legion as the HQ choice for that Allied Detachment. Effects of a Rite of War do not carry over to Allied Detachments from the Primary Detachment and vice versa.

The new "Sacrificial Offering" Rite of War does seem to violate these rules, but in this case it's a matter of specific overriding general. That specific RoW specifies that it modifies the allies in specific ways (and only those ways).
>>
>>45333024
Missed that.
Used the other one bit this clears it up.
>>
I'm surprised there's no 1d4chan tactic page for Blackshields. Or are the going to be included under 'space marines'?
>>
>>45332938
>>45332888
Bear in mind that their shields work differently, though. Sally shields grant a 5++ or buff the invulnerable save of a model by +1 if it already has one; if given to a Cataphractii you'd get the expected 3++, but a Tartaros would only get 4++. They cost 10 points for ICs without terminator armor, and 5 points for any model in terminator to exchange their ranged weapon - i.e., dirt cheap.

Fists, on the other hand, just have actual storm shields - the kind that gives you a 3++ regardless. However, only models with terminator armor can buy them - 15 points for Tartaros, 10 for Cataphractii to exchange their ranged weapon.

Basically, Salamanders can get an IC in artificer armour with a 3++, but the Fists can give an entire squad of Tartaros a 3++. This is relevant because the recent FAQ allows Tartaros terminators to make sweeping advances. You have to pay a bit more to do it, but it should by obvious why this is powerful.

That said, you bought Cataphractii, and unless you want to buy third party bits or do some green stuff conversions yourself you can't buy storm shield kits from FW for 30k (unless you buy the Black Templar ones... which technically would work for Fists if you wanna go with that paint scheme).

Salamanders also have a unique Terminator unit called the Firedrakes which is one of the more powerful unique terminator squads; basically, TH/SS termies with WS5 and two wounds each. They have their own models, though.

Another option is Iron Warriors, although this gets a bit pricy. They get Cataphractii terminators called Tyrants where the entire unit has Cyclone Missile Launchers. You'll have to buy the bits to convert the missile launchers, but it's a pretty hilarious unit when you run 10.

TL;DR You should look into what each legion does and pick one based on what appeals to you from their playstyle, aesthetics and background. Pretty much everyone has terminators.
>>
Hey guys! I'm after two things from Book VI Retribution. A shot of the new SoH RoW and artwork of scars and SoH! Many thanks!
>>
>>45333158
If in doubt, check the FAQs. FWs makes mistakes in their books as much as GW does (if not more), but unlike GW they actually endeavor to correct and support the game with FAQs and Erratas. The older books were all written for 6th edition so there's certain assumptions about how the game works that no longer apply, and some of that stuff had to be cleaned up.

There's some pretty significant errata as well; FW has actually been trying to keep up with design and balance for HH between book releases, which is a huge breath of fresh air compared to 40k.
>>
>>45332846
>Rogue Psyker is 35 points. Look at the FAQ/Errata.
The point I believe that anon is making is that they make downright outrageous mistakes, to the point that any little thing that seems even a little bit not-right is going to be questioned, excused, and argued about, endlessly. I can't wait for the circus when BA Asscans Galore gets changed.

"Specially trained xenos predator-breasts" is one thing, but missing the fucking points cost of a unit is another. Fixing it with an errata fixes the immediate issue, but the underlying issue remains to rear its head every new release.

>Don't know what you mean about the chainaxes though.
I presume (s)he's referring to the endless argument about what exactly is the cost for World Eaters to get chainaxes as replacements for their chainswords. If you've ever been in the HHG thread since, well - ever, you'll know that to this very day the debate is ongoing and Forge World have been totally ineffective at addressing the issue in subsequent compilations, Errata/FAQs, and even direct emailed questions.
>>
>>45333333
Here you are
>>
>>45333258
There will be, but there's probably less than 100 people in the world who have the book so far. Give it a couple of weeks as people have played a few games and seen how they actually work.
>>
I still haven't found any images of the Dark Angels rites. Can anyone share? The other rules pictures for DA weren't very complete, either.
>>
>>45333570
>Forge World have been totally ineffective at addressing the issue in subsequent compilations, Errata/FAQs, and even direct emailed questions.

Someone already posted an email answer they received from FW 4-5 generals back. If the model doesn't have a chainsword, they have to pay for it and then may exchange it for a Chainaxe for no additional cost.
>>
>>45333582
Thanks a bunch!
>>
>>45333570
>"Specially trained xenos predator-breasts"
Wut?
>FW just sent an email about the chainaxes, you pay for the chainsword, then get the free chainaxe.
Side note, anyone else hyped for the Sacrificial Offering RoW. I've run my word bearers like that for a long time, nice to see the bonuses for it
>>

There's some typo in one of the books. They wrote Breasts instead of Beasts.

>>45333717
There has been more than one response from Forge World on this issue (and others), they often don't answer the question at all and even when they do, they're frequently not consistent with other answers. Emailing Forge World is about as useful as houseruling it.

They get the same question plenty of times but have not bothered to include it in the recent FAQ. Book One was printed in 2012, and there have been at least three downloadable erratas and one updated compilation since then.

The point remains valid, alleged emails notwithstanding.
>>
>>45333817
And to make it worse, they're fully capable of writing it clearly in other cases like in >>45333761

So /HHG/, what are you most interested in from Book 6 now we have some concrete facts to go off?

Pretty tempted to go for an allied White Scars force. Wouldn't fill any of the gaps in my RG army but it would look so cool

>>45334081
mainly ironfire and the existence of phospex canister shells to make literally the entire enemy board half dangerous terrains
iron circle also makes me hard, probably have to work perty into one of my lists
>>
>>45334081
Simply having more different and fun ways to make army lists for my Word Bearers.

As for the new armies, I am most excited for the Knights Errant. Wish someone would post them.
>>
>>45333953
To be fair, that's extremely recent. To me, it's as if it's be very carefully written in exactly that way to specifically avoid the issue with the way that the chainaxe sentence can be interpreted.

It's abundantly clear that the Isstvan Campaign Legions in particular was literally a lazy copy-an-paste job, to the point that the style between the book 1, 2 and 3 entries varied instead of being harmonized (simple things, like the order of pages usually making the Primarch the last entry in Books 1 and 3, but between special units and unique characters in book 2; to more complex things, like Warlord being an actual special rule for compatibility with the Retinue special rule, for Book 3 unique characters, but not for Book 1 and 2 characters even when they had warlord traits).

Book 5 though was worse than lazy; it was clearly rushed. The number of serious errors is far greater than even their usually unimpressive standard. These are books that cost more than $100, would it kill them to have a proper editor? Xenos Breasts is amusing but harmless; but missing unit points costs, units exchanging weapons they don't have for the weapons they already do at a cost, and other serious errors are simply unacceptable. And then to not address those issues in the errata you're publishing anyway, is laziness; it's contempt.
>>
Hey /tg/, I have a question regarding the Warlord Trait Master of Defence, like Saul Tarvitz has. I saw it under his entry where it says he gets Counter Attack in his deployment, but the 7th Edition rulebook just says flat counter attack. Is one of these wrong/out of date?
>>
>>45334299
I'd say the description in the main rulebook takes priority over the specific description in his entry.
>>
>>45334081
Still waiting to see if the rumors of Death Guard straight-up getting Rad Grenades available all of the time are true. I always ran The Reaping just for that. If it's true I'll still frequently run The Reaping for the heavy support squad spam, but it will be something I can take or not based on what I feel like playing, rather than an autotake.

Also Reaping Blow will completely change the way I play. Deathshroud used to be useless against any opponent terminators and were used as a small, inefficient anti-artificer-armor assassin unit seriously, fuck Gal Vorbak, now they're one of the best for killing enemy terminators.
>>

Anacharis Scoria is a motherfucker. An evil, evil motherfucker. And I love him.

Very interested in reading the Xana II fluff. In 40k it's the Dark Mechanicum's equivalent of a forge world trapped in the warp where mercenaries and chaos war bands sell human souls for daemon-possessed war engines. I'm rather curious how our friend Scoria managed to make such a mess of things.

Hows this 2.5k list look, just started building word bearers
Word Bearers Legion
Rite of War: Sacrificial Offering
Primary Detachment:
HQ
Erebus
Legion Centurion, artificer armor, refractor field, Primus Medicae, Burning lore, power weapon, melta bomb
Elites:
2x Apothecaries, each with artificer armour
10x Gal Vorbak, one with power weapon, sergeant with artificer and power weapon
Troops:
20x Tactical marines, additional combat weapons, sergeant with melta bombs and artificer armor
20x Tactical marines, additional combat weapons, sergeant with melta bombs and artificer armor
Heavy Support
Legion Spartan, Flare Shield, Armored Ceramite
Legion Fire Raptor, Reaper auto cannon battery
Allied Detatchment: Imperial Milita
Provenances: Tainted Flesh and Feral Warriors
Force Commander, power armor, iron halo, power weapon.
Troops:
50x Inducted Levy's, discipline collars
50x Inducted Levy's, discipline collars
Heavy Support
3x Rapier Batteries, laser destroyer arrays
Fortification Detatchment
Aegis Defense Line
The plan is to move the two levy squads up with the force commander in one as a human wave, and the rapiers to sit behind the aegis line to deal with armor. Erebus rides with the Gal Vorbak in the Spartan, the chaplain goes with one 20 man tac squad, both of them get apothecaries.
>>
>>45335493
Sorry, changed the list a little, the Primus Medicae goes with the Gal Vorbak too.
>>
>>45333750

Is it just me or is that a really bad set of abilities?
>>
>>45335508
Its alright, at least you have an edge in praetor v praetor combat, and it could be nice when your tac blobs connect with your opponent. I think the lure for the 1st legion is their gear selection and their RoW selection, ideally they'll be getting one for each wing.
>>
>>45335508
It's all in the wargear and RoW for the Dark Angels I think.
>>
>>45335508
+3 To hit with blades is fine
enemy outnumber you at the end gets D3 victory points blows huge amounts of ass and is probably the harshest legion rule out at the moment
>>45335642
This anon has got it, wargear is sick and ROW are ok too.........
>>
>>45335717
Yeah, their wargear is rather nice. I like how their centurions get better power swords for less than a normal power weapon costs for anyone else (granted, I don't understand why the fuck it costs 15 points for a centurion power weapon in the first place when damn near every sergeant gets one for 10).
>>
>>45335750
The acid heavy bolters are what do it for me. Those few times you roll low for AP will be glorious.
>>
>>45335795
>few times
its a 50/50 chance to melt marines on contact, or 1/3 for termies, and even then wounding on 2's is still amazing
super good against mechanicus as well

>>
>>45335954
Naked? Iffy, but not bad. Personally I think it's worth getting sponsons on a standard sicaran, generally lascannons. 20 points per lascannon is not a bad deal at all.
>>
>>45335959
That's not so bad. Personally I prefer The Reaping but I can see this seeing some use.
>>
>>45335493
Primus Medicae can't have Burning Lore. It is for Chaplains, Centurions, Diabolists, and Praetors only.

IIRC Sacrificial offering forces your entire primary detachment into reserves. You might want to play into that and take some stuff for which that is not really a penalty. Stuff like flyers, maybe a Storm Eagle for your tacticals.
>>
>>45335493
Just wanna throw it out there that your list has over 150 infantry models in it. I hope you're good at telling stories or something or your opponents are going to be bored out of their minds during your movement phases.
>>
So is the Iron Warriors new RoW any good? The distances seem to be pretty short for it to be any good. Also doesn't say it doesn't affect Enemy Barrage Weapons as well, so that means any Enemy barrage weapons hitting IWs near an IronFire counter won't deviate as much/at all either...
>>
>>45336174
A RoW only affects your own army's primary detachment.

As for the range? Well, that's kind of the point. Often times you're just going to be bombarding stuff in their backfield, but eventually your infantry is going to be really close to their infantry, and what this does is allow you do soften them up before you charge them without any risk of scattering onto yourself (and if you use a Nuncio-Vox it can only scatter a maximum of 2 inches).

How would one go about modeling Hardened Armour on a MkIV suits? I want to make some Breachers, but I don't want to use resin models and from what I can make from plastic, MkV and VI seem a bit too flimsy for such a demanding task.

Was thinking of using studded legs (MkV style added armour layer), Emperor's Children MkIV heads (they look like they got an extra plating on the mask), some extra plates on the hips (Anvil makes nice looking ones) and CSM backpacks like in pic related.

Why was Horus so great that the Emps made him Warmaster? He doesn't seem to have anything going on with him compared to the other primarchs

>>45336564
Almost everyone liked/respected him and he got along with almost everyone. Pretty much the least autistic of all the Primarchs.

He was the only one that could competently keep his brothers from infighting (ironically)

The rukes dont show it well but as a legion SoH were one of the most powerful. Super powered Legion combined with super powered primarch. Also Vulkan was disrespected by some for his caring of humanity. Not sure about sang, maybe the emperor couldn't decide and flipped a coin?

These. He was definitely the most qualified simply because of his social competence which most other primarchs had issues with.

>They all rose as the Warmaster entered the room. It was a large chamber in the Extranus compound where the Imperials met for their regular briefings. Large shield-glass windows overlooked the tumbling terraces of the forested city and the glittering ocean beyond.
>Horus waited silently while six officers and servitors from the Master of Vox’s company finished their routine sweep for spyware, and only spoke once they had activated the portable obscurement device in the corner of the room. The distant melodies of the aria were immediately blanked out.
>‘Two weeks without solid agreement,’ Horus said, ‘nor even a mutually acceptable scheme of how to continue. They regard us with a mixture of curiosity and caution, and hold us at arm’s length. Any commentary?’
>‘We’ve exhausted all possibilities, lord,’ Maloghurst said, ‘to the extent that I fear we are wasting our time. They will admit to nothing but a willingness to open and pursue ambassadorial links, with a view to trade and some cultural exchange. They will not be led on the subject of alliance.’
>‘Or compliance,’ Abaddon remarked quietly.
>‘An attempt to enforce our will here,’ said Horus, ‘would only confirm their worst opinions of us. We cannot force them into compliance.’
>‘We can,’ Abaddon said.
>‘Then I’m saying we shouldn’t,’ Horus replied.
>‘Since when have we worried about hurting people’s feelings, lord?’ Abaddon asked. ‘Whatever our differences, these are humans. It is their duty and their destiny to join with us and stand with us, for the primary glory of Terra. If they will not…’
>He let the words hang. Horus frowned. ‘Someone else?’

Contemptors with an assault cannon are decent. Nothing amazing, but hey they've got AV13 and a save of some kind.

Vulkan ain't a good commander.
Sang has issues.

You've got somewhat obvious (tactical) choices in Guilliman, Lion and Dorn, but the three of them were less charismatic than Horus. Important when trying to command the brady bunch of autism.

The plasma repeater is right now kinda bad (*maybe* on bikes), but the swords are very nice and the acid shells are pure fuckery and a nightmare for Mechanicum. Not entirely sold on the stasis shells, but time will tell.
I think what will really make or break the DA is their special units. A unit with grenade launcher-access and terranic greatswords would be really mean against any non-TEQ elite, for example.

Book one says that the number 7 is of great cultural significance on Barbarus (kinda like how it is considered a lucky number here in China).

It shows up a lot. Mortarion's plan for his legion organisation was based around 490,000 marines.

How much of that is coincidence (in-universe, obviously the writers knew what they were doing) and how much represents long-game, prescient influence from Nurgle is left an open question.

Horus was the only one who seriously considered diplomatic solutions to problems FIRST, AND was good about actually achieving said solutions.

In fact, it is specifically stated that he always attempted and actually preferred diplomatic solutions. This is in spite of being the strongest legion (in terms of military victories) and the oldest veteran among the primarchs and the vast majority of others.

This is a large part of why the Lunar Wolves had the highest tally of compliance, and what made him the most complete and effective conqueror as well as commander.

Honestly, I think the chain-axe thing is obvious.

Most new players, myself included, assumed you had to buy a CCW first.

The problem is that every WE player who'd spent ages pondering the rule would then tell us that we get free chain-axes, and assuming they know the rules better than us, new players believe them.

It's like the Blitz Brigade bullshit in 40k. No player knows they can do it till some Neckbeard who's desperate to make his army more viable tells them they can, and a lot of the time he's telling them to get them on-side to make the interpretation more credible.

What are people's guesses for Legion special units now we have rules? For dark angels I'm guessing some kind of ravenwing black knight with a special melee Weapon and WS5 come stock on bikes and can upgrade to scimitars and an elite Terminator unit maybe with deep strike or other special toys.

Also Death Guard was organized into 7 grand companies, each 70,000 strong totaling 490,000 marines

Also would quite like to do a Cover-camping IF primarchs chosen list, but would probably have to wait for Dorn to be released.

Its pretty obvious if you apply common sense. You buy a chainsword, then you may exchange that chainsword for a chainaxe.

Well, it's the old RAW vs. RAI. I mean, if you went RAW, old 3e monoliths gained attacks from Weapon Destroyed results instead of losing them ("reduced by -1", aka. X-(-1), which is same as X+1), but everybody understood it as losing attacks. Same with 4e Rapid Fire rules, which were written so that if you have a model with, say, a combi-flamer and you shot the flamer, you could not assault, because the model was carrying a rapid fire weapon and it had fired in the shooting phase. Not that it fired a rapid fire weapon, merely carrying one and firing (any weapon) in the shooting phase meant you could not assault, as per the RAW.

But I will say that these arguments are good at spotting the actual mistakes and bad wordings in the rules, which then can be clarified by FW. Well written rules benefit all.

All of the Primarchs were psykers to some degree, some just more than others, and not all realized it.

Use a more simple word that better describes what you are trying to say, because not trusting black people being a genetic trait is the silliest thing I've ever heard and fucking impossible.

My reasoning for it is that I'm aiming to get into combat either way, what with +1I on the charge, better sweeping, phoenix spears etc. Since I have to issue and accept challenges, if the sergeant dies the apothecary is up next, might as well make him more of a threat. Whenever he's not in a challenge he assists the blob with a couple of decent attacks.

The downsides I can think of are that 10pts for AP3 on a model with 1 attack (and a bolt pistol) is not great and that I'm making a high value target even higher value.

Yes, what a massive fucking misconstruction. You said it is 'genetic' to trust black people less than others, it's written right fucking there you dipshit.

>Turns out you can
top kek

Linking that shows just how retarded you are.

Having an evolutionary response to danger is not the same as a genetic trait to distrust something.

Everyone has a evolutionary response to danger - a genetic distrust of something is literally impossible - you can always learn to trust something, therefore it can never be something in your genes.

What you are referring to is explicitly social conditioning to be wary of black people.

Genes are not involved you dipshit.

It's ironic that people fall back on the genetic argument because they are too stupid to fix learned behaviour, when in reality - genetics are too complicated for them to fucking understand.

Not him, but assumptions can be made if you've read The Reflection Crack'd in which Fulgrim exorcises himself with psychic knowledge he gained while stuck in the painting. Since Fulgrim, who scorned psykers as he thought they were mutants and thus imperfect, had latent psyker abilities without any signs before hand AND due to all of the primarchs being descendants of the Emperor who is basically made of psykers, it wouldn't be a great stretch to say all Primarchs are capable of psychic powers and are just not aware.

Again, this is all just speculation.
That said, I can't think of any times Angron used psyker shit on himself unless he maybe did to lift the titan? He definitely used it after becoming a daemon prince but that doesn't really count.

mastodon is a beast, 14 all round with 10 hull points and 2 void shields. all the melta weapons on the front are actually a single weapon rules wise. 12″ range, str 9 ap1, heavy4, blast (3″) melta and each pen against a building or fortification becomes D3 pens. holds 40 models. it can also carry up to 2 regular dreads or contemptors (not dreados or levis). they count as 10 models each and count towards the 40 models limit.

Generalisations that sounds good in your head are not evidence anon.

Every example you gave is either not true, or unverifiable.

I bet you play World Eaters, your models are all half covered in Blood For the Blood God, and you've never won a game in your life because you don't know what objectives are.
>>

This

Dorn seems better now, but still confused.

I feel like his buff to his unit should be counter-attack and BS2 overwatch instead of charge bonuses.

He doesn't really add much power to a charge as he only has 4 attacks base.

Haven't seen the rules for reaping blow yet though.

>>45338536
‘reaping blow’: -1 initiative, if in base contact with more than one model at their initiative step, they gain +1 attack.

So Dorn can now man fight his brothers, but also get S6 ap2 4+D3+1 Attacks vs scrubs,
>>
>>45337364

Where does it say you have to exchange the chainsword though, exchange is used in other wargear selections. The reason why the free axes works is that its worded as "Instead you take" instead of "exchange" meaning that its adding a new option, which happens to be free.
>>
>>45337364
Nowhere is there the word "exchange"
>>
>>45338617
I feel like Dorn isn't really made for man-fighting though. I can't see him being able to take on any of the other Primarchs.

What I'm wondering atm is, if I put him at the front of a unit, so he is the closest model to most attacks - will the enemy only wound the unit on a 3+ due to his special rules?
>>
>>45338866
I mean with ranged attacks btw, encase it wasn't obvious.
>>
>>45338866
What's annoying about Dorn is that while he isn't that great of a fighter (not that he should be considering its not really mentioned in the fluff) he doesn't do much for your army either. CC buffs for one unit and use his Ld is fairly lacklustre
>>
>>45333717
The recent wording of the Blood Angels Hand flamer rules, worded the same, contradict the answer given in the email which swung the argument back in the free ax side of the debate. That email was either wrong, or the wordings of 2 different legions are both wrong.

Bottom line, FW customer service is shit tier as usual when it comes to rules.

The biggest issue is the difference between "Instead may take" vs "exchange" as the later implies having of the chainsword while the former never technically has to "have" the chainsword as he takes the axe "instead" of the chainsword.
>>
>>45338866
>>45338995
I feel he is still the 'weakest' Primarch. He is better that some or on par when it comes to Man fights. The same can be said about his ability to lead an army. I feel you take him because you like IF, really no other reason. I for one play Siggy in 2k pts or less. with sword bro's, rhino's and a Storm lord.
>>
>>45338995
I will planning to use his cover buffs to take an ADL instead for transports for a sniper vets list - the idea being that I could just go to ground and avoid damage with a 2+ rerollabe cover until a target presents itself.

But yeah the CC buff seems pretty meh.

It's like they tried to make him a good all-rounder but ended up making him shit at everything.
>>
>>45338995
Yeah, Dorn should give some sort of Super Stubborn buffs to his legion, maybe the ability to pass or fail morale checks are desired like what Calgar used to have? Some sort of bolter-buff while units are in their deployment zone?
>>
>>45338995
For the whole army, anon.
>>
>>45339082
Super stubborn sounds good, fists get BS5 bolter s standard though so might be difficult to implement well. Maybe +1T if the unit doesn't move that turn or something.

>>45339078
>It's like they tried to make him a good all-rounder but ended up making him shit at everything.
Haha, yep ;_;
>>
>>45339078
>It's like they tried to make him a good all-rounder but ended up making him shit at everything.
And with Roboute they managed to make an all-rounder into a melee monster, outpacing the supposed "best fighter" primarchs
>>
>>45338995
>>45339051
>>45339082
Compare him to other primarchs of the same pts, who are not combat monsters or Buff bots, e.g. Angry man or Alpha twin. Fulgrim is ok in combat but his buff is so so. Hobo Corax has a good buff but is so so in combat. Lorgar has good buff and godd-ish combat stats. AGAIN for their pts cost (~380). Dorn is 385 and now, on par with those is his cost range.

So is it true that you can make your own Knight Errants, and if it is true does anyone have the pics of it? I'd really like to make Iacton for my SoH army.
>>
So, it looks like it's impossible to make an army of Iron Hands+Salamanders+Raven Guard led by broken Corax. Sad.

>>45339471
Yes, but no one with the rules can be bothered to post them, it seems.

Cant you do Primarch's Chosen RoW and get Corax as your warlord then an IH+Sallie HQ to unlock their legions?
>>
Anyone have a pic of the latest emperor's children RoW???

Wouldn't mind seeing the limitations etc etc
>>
>>45339496
>>45339471
Speaking of Knight Errants, what happens if you put one in a unit that can deep strike? Do they scatter or does the unit not scatter because the Knight Errant's By Falsehood Cloaked?
>>
>>45339551
Nope, Shattered Legions are not allowed any Primarchs. And Primarch's Chosen, oddly, does not require you to field a primarch.

This does mean that Primarch's Chosen is effectively a straight improvement over PotL in most cases.

>When taken in this detachment a Primarch is counted as an HQ choice instead of a Lord of War, and must be both the primary detachment's compulsory HQ and the armies warlord. When using this rite, a Primarch may be taken in an army of any size

It's annoying though for this and Armoured breakthrough you need to take a preator too

>>45339569
unless it says it affects the unit usually it only applies to the individual
>>
>>45339674
For armoured breakthrough, yes. For Primarch's Chosen, no. The Primarch can fulfill both the HQ and MotL requirements.
>>
>>45339651
Paint them black, theyre still supposed to be separated from the chain of command and the rest of the legion.

Is there any BA art in the new book?

I bet you're the guy who denies the AL have three Primarchs
>>
>>45339674
>unless it says it affects the unit usually it only applies to the individual

I understand that but if he's part of a deep striking unit and you place him in the table he wont scatter and then the rest of the unit has to be deployed around him, I dont get whats stopping that.

Could you post the new WE special character as well?

I want to know if the thing about Apothecaries being able to increase attacks of a unit just an extension of his special rules or can I get that without taking him

can anyone confirm the changes to Headhunters?

Can anyone post the IF RoW? I want to know if its mandatory to take wardens as troops.

So I think I cracked open the Blood Angels Baal Dakka-tank build.

The main limiting factor is must have Guys with Legion Astrates >= Vehicles.

So with the Tank ROW we do:

(120) Praetor w/ Jump Pack (Jump Infantry so bypasses the Infantry must have a ride rule)

Troops 4x of
(120) Predator Squad: Main Cannon + Heavy Flamer Sponsons + Pittle Upgraded to dakka cannons
x3 per squad

FA 3x
(45) Attack Bikes With heavy flamers upgraded to dakka cannons


Sums to 1695 as a base list. Leaves rooms to add friends for the Praetor or give him a rhino with a pittle mounted assault cannon(Heavyflamer)

Total for the base list is 39 assault cannons for 156 24" S6 shots and 12 Heresy Pred Cannons for 48 48" S7 shots.

Firing everything is 204 dice, a little over 5.6 cubes a turn.

All of these are on bikes or fast vehicles (From ROW).
>>
>>45340485

1) Jump Infantry is still Infantry. All you've done is increase the cost to a Storm Eagle.
2) Troop Predators are Cannon & Sponson only. No Pintles allowed.

If spamming Assault Cannons is the game, always max out your Heavy Support before moving into Troop unlocks.
>>
>>45340485
>(120) Praetor w/ Jump Pack (Jump Infantry so bypasses the Infantry must have a ride rule)

Nope, that's not the way that works.
>>
>>45340485
Read the Limitations again, that Praetor is illegal.
>>
>>45340485
You are better off just spamming preds in the heavy support slot.
>>
>>45339612
From what I've heard (mainly from here), they now have Banestrike Combi-Bolters as standard, and they can take Combi-weapons now (for 7 points each, same price as termis).
They lost Preferred Enemy though.
They also have Precision Shots (but they already got that in the FAQ, so it's not new).

In terms of shooting they're probably quite a bit more deadly now, but the loss of PE takes away a bit from their CC edge.
Though I imagine they still keep the power daggers, which makes them an unpleasant surprise in CC.
>>
>>45340589
Anything has heavy flamers can take Assault cannons for 5 points (shown here >>45336893 )
The main cannon upgrade is free but ROW says you have to keep the main cannon

>>45340604
>>45340617
>>45340632

O no! What ever will I do... Pay 5 extra points and put him on a bike?
>>
>>45340666

>>45340589
You are correct about the pittle, I miss read that.
>>
>>45340666
>O no! What ever will I do... Pay 5 extra points and put him on a bike?

Then do that next time instead of posting a clumsily constructed list.
>>
>>45340666
>Pay 5 extra points and put him on a bike?

He needs a vehicle, get a damocles rhino or another infantry squad with a rhino.
