technically all of their equipment would be considered relics

exitus weapons/spy mask
c'tan phase blade/neural shredder/polymorphine
animus speculum/etherium
executioner pistol/frenzon/sentinel array

like, they're all [Temple Assassin], just with different sets of relic gear. Kinda like how in 2nd edition you had a basic [Assassin] that could grab whatever wargear it wanted.

The only thing he needs to be good is some form of ap2 for characters and rerolls for his attacks so he can actually chop up chaff units.

Give his neuro gauntlet rending, make his power-sword master crafted then give the assassin himself rage and hatred. Rage doesn't do anything it's just there for fluff.

That would be way too strong on him, can you imagine what he would be like with smash?

Not too surprising. The Interceptor Drones are pretty sweet, plus the thing has a networked Markerlight and Missiles to work with.

>>
>>47246068
>2-3 wyverns
>not super competitive meta
fair warning, but wyverns are not very fun in any sort of casual setting
>>
>>47246102
its not that casual, we have a couple kinda powergamey dudes, thunderstar and KDK with all the power choices, then a guy who alternates between steel legion, cancercrons and knights. several ork playrs of varying levels and a dark angels guy i havent played much, off the top of my head.
its not tournament time all the time but its not fun n fluffy either

>That would be way too strong on him, can you imagine what he would be like with smash?
Yes, I know, that's why I want smash, I want to WRYYYYYYYY the shit out of everyone.
>>
Not that they would ever get in range to do it, but could a priest and three crusaders tie up a knight's in assault for two turns? 3++ rerollable seems like something that loses mostly to weight of dice.
>>
>>47246163
potentially, but the risk of both stomps and 6's for D makes it pretty swingy

The knight have D attacks plus stomp, one lucky 6 and all your guys are gone with no chance of survival.

a morghast would look better in my opinion
>>
>>47246173
>>47246186
I guess hoping a 70 point unit could survive 3d3 stomps without a single 6 is a bit much.

Too bad making the squad bigger doesn't actually improve its survability any.
>>
>>47245709
>Dark Eldar flyers

The Razorwing isn't bad at all. At 130 points base it can come in, drop four large blast markers on an annoying infantry blob, then spend the rest of the game whittling down other squads with its Disintegrators. Or bring it up to 140 points and it can use its Dark Lances to pick off vehicles or harass other flyers, even if it just forces them to Jink. It's vulnerable to Interceptor fire, yes, but so is every AV10 aircraft in the game.
>>
>>47246250
Open to suggestions and changes at the moment since I haven't gotten him yet, why do you think morghasts would be better?

Why are sigmar skeleton models so sexy?
>>
>>47246221
Toss it on a bits site, of course.

Or give the spooky ghosts to a Crimson Slaughter player.
>>
>>47246329
>why do you think morghasts would be better?
won't have to fuck around with the saddle area
cooler head
comes with two
still less expensive than a single mortarch
>>
Of course Eldar would have the best benefits from Death from the Skies.

I'm fucking surprised Eldar didn't somehow benefit from Angels of Death too in some random way, despite the fact that it was marine only.
>>
What's currently the weakest race, i.e. the race with the fewest viable builds?
>>
>>47246444
Eldar are Allies of Convenience with Marines. They could theoretically pick up an Allied Librarius Conclave and use a bunch of Geomancy librarians to try and roll Shifting Worldscape, as well as provide extra Warp Charges
>>
>>47246475

CSM or Orks.

Counting build numbers is stupid as fuck. CSM, SoB, and Tau all have only one viable build, for example. But I think it's pretty obvious Tau isn't hurt by this while CSM is even worse than SoB.
>>
>>47246475
Orks are the weakest. They lack any sort of good anti-armor, along with a multitude of other gaps.
>>
>>47246484
>Tau
>One viable build

Is that what you call having a bunch of great units in every slot?

Even if you're talking maximum cheese you've still got the Optimized Stealth Cadre and Riptide Wings as separate things. Add Crisis Suits and Buffmanders to taste.

Again, that's competitive level though. An army of nothing but Firewarriors would still probably mop the floor with an Ork list.
>>
>>47246508

Nobody at GTs runs anything but Stormsurges and Riptide Wing. If you're going to include shitty Tau builds just because Tau are overpowered in general, you might as well say every army except 1 or 2 has tons of "viable" builds, including Orks (hurr Nob Bikers, Green Tide, Blitz Brigade, CAD, etc).
>>
>>47246508
you don't know what viable means mate
>>
>>47245573

IDK if that Black Library mega is still up, but IIRC it had the campaign books for 13th Black Crusade and Medusa campaigns
>>
>>47246561
That it's capable of actually functioning?

If you're going to say that Tau only have 1 viable build because people only bring 1 list to tournaments, then Chaos Marines have 0 viable builds.
>>
Just curious, how viable is a Razorshark Strikefighter with Advanced Targeting System for assassination?
>>
>>47246553
If you're going to include the best CSM or SOB list as 'viable', then I would certainly say that any Tau list that is as good as those is also 'viable'

A list doesn't stop being viable just because it isn't the most optimal for an army.
>>
>>47246581
>chaos marines have 0 viable builds
But that's true.
>>
>>47246614
Then tell that to >>47246484
>>
>>47246553
you say this and yet you claim csm and orks have 1 viable build as well. They have no viable builds then.
>>
>>47246408
Alright. I'll look between them more to decide eventually, thanks for your input.
>>
>>47246601
>How viable
Not particularly.
>>
>>47246762

It seems like the only vehicle that can take advantage of the Advanced Targeting System besides Skyray.

I mean technically they aren't wrong, now that you mention it.

Have an upcoming "beginners" tournament, 750pts, not sure what to run. Looking to buy a new army to get back into 40k and looking for advice one what to run.

Tournament limitations:

1 HQ or Lord of War
1 Elites
1 Troops
1 Fast Attack
1 Heavy Support
0-1 Auxilary (any ONE of the following : Elites, Troops, Fast Attack, Heavy Support, Fortification)

NO Super Heavies, Gargantuan Creatures, Mighty Bulwarks or Fortification Networks.

Also has to be "friendly" enough not the be veto'd by the TO's, but competitive enough to have a chance.

Need some help deciding how to kit out my sword brothers for my CC crusaders.

Right now they have a storm bolter and a lightning claw. (initiate has a power axe) I wanted to design them for challenges, and the unit is meant for killing scrubs in a gun line. So far the lighting claw has been helpful in most instances, but when he faces a target with high armor and T it does not do much. Sometimes my opponent will have a guy like that hidden in a unit of scrubs or close enough to get a challenge. I want to give him an extra attack with a power sword and also to make him cheaper. But I also wanted to give him a fist or a thunder hammer, but both cost a lot and if he dies before he can get a swing off, its pointless. I know if I fight army's with high Int like eldar, it does not matter. but as for everyone else or for just generally equipping him, wat do?
>>
>>47248344
Do you expect to use your crusaders to kill terminators and monstrous creatures?

No, as I said they are meant for killing scrub infantry. But there is always the chance that someone put an IC in a squad thats hard to kill.

Well personally I wouldn't near triple the points cost for a fist on a 1w model.

Better to focus on his strengths and use dedicated units for the job.

You can also run a 30k mechanicum list against 40k lists with you opponents consent, they're decently balanced. You can get the 30k mechancium red book from the /HHG/ op.

No?

They barely survived the first one, and that was:

A second one would just accelerate their ass-kicking by everyone but Eldar, presumably.

Actually, what effect do Tyranids have on warp storms? And what do Orks use for FTL?

Automata are mentioned as animalistic relics in the cult mechanicus book. Presumably they're still floating around in limited numbers just like the leviathan dreads, storm eagles, baneblades etc for the rest of the imperial stuff.

The lines get a little blurry with mechanicum though, as folks turned a blind eye to "tech heresy" during the heresy, as we know it in 40k. I wouldn't expect any paragons of metal lol

Yes.

>>
>>47249166
Okay. Lets address this piece of ignorance.

The Tau had skim drives and even back then the Skim Drives were not reliant on the Warp. They don't enter the Warp or interact with it. The Tau skim in the void between real space and the warp. That's why the Tau old travelling method did not get affected by whatever happens in the Warp (Warp storms, warp anomalies etc).

The Tau new method of travel doesn't even skim anything. It's just propulsion engines.

Old and new, the Tau do not rely on the warp to travel. They will be fine.

Dude....

The 3th ED Tau got their skim engine from reverse engineering the wreckage of a mysterious alien ship on the moon of their home planet T'au. What species the ship belonged to was never revealed.

The Kroot were the guys who gained access to Orkish technological knowledge when their ancestors devoured Orks who crash landed on their homeworld Pech.

The Retconing of the Tau skim engines happened in their 6th ED codex.

Custodians will come before Emperor. Emperor, if ever, will be Siege of Terra.

Well Burning of Prospero is the first major Space Wolves engagement, he doesn't have rules yet, and that so happens to be where the Custodians and Sisters of Silence did a major action (Horus Heresy action, anyway).

Who knows, it could be, could be not. My assumption would be they'd do rules (they've already said they ARE doing rules and models, two years ago) and leave the models till Dark Angels and Blood Angels have gotten their Primarchs.
