Militarum Tempestus suffers from a lack of mid-range shooting (among other things).

What if I got some help from that other mini dex and got a bunch of sniper Malleus Inquisitors with hellrifles? Some could take servo skulls and guide my deepstrikers too.

40 points for a BS4 36" S6 AP3 dude with a 4+ save. 10 point psykers provide denial charges and "spotting" with prescience. 5 point Bolter acolytes and cheap Chimeras and Razorbacks with psy bolts add fire support.

Retarded y/n?

Could be neat, I'd put the sniper Inquisitor with some plasma cannon servitors so they can be more lethal. In order to be effective, they'd have to be deployed in a way so that they won't be wiped off the table turn one and also placed where they'll actually contribute to the game

I'd rather take a five man squad with hot shot volley guns and slap sniper Inquisitor with them with the psyker upgrade

The best part is now gw can release a bunch of overpowered stuff, wait till everyone buys it to remain competitive, and then nerf it by "clarifying" a rule.

And then you get the privilege of buying new models in a couple of months, just to make your army competitive again!

So there's no way of getting inside one? Even though the box cover shows the hatch open and a marine halfway inside?

I miss the old "deep strike immobile units onto the table" rule from the previous edition. If they had been light buildings, you could have literally made drop pods out of them, just put dudes in them, hold them in reserves and then deep strike 10 dudes in a metal box onto the table.

You guys should make sure they know about this by posting the relevant edition and page on their Facebook.

Is there a Chapter of Space Marines that are as close to the Ecclesiarchy as the Iron Hands are to the Ad Mech?

Is it just the Black Templars? I don't think they're seen as an unofficial part of the Ecclesiarchy like the Iron Hands are to the Ad Mech though.

>>47458848
It's all unofficial. The Templars believe in the Emperor, but follow their own crusades and ignore any orders from the church.
>>
Any of you fucks in Leeds, and fancy a game?
we can even go to the shit gw on briggate
>>
>>47458848
I don't think so, but the Steel Confessors are the AdMech's official chapter.

Actually, looking at it now I think the Ecclisiarchy is the only one without their own SM chapter.

Inquisition: Red Hunters (Official), GK, Exorcists.
High Lords: Minotaurs
AdMech : Steel Confessors (Official)

Exorcists, GK dont mingle with the ecclesiarchy as they are basically the secret arm of the ordo malleus and Exorcists are basically poor man's GK.

Fire Angels are probably the marine chapter with tightest links to the Ecclesiarchy.

I paint my deathwing dark grey with green shoulders. I only had black primer and got fed up trying to paint white. I never liked the bone coloured Deathwing anyways.

>>47459089

Because they're smart enough not to make requests. Because they're not allowed to have men-at-arms and already have a personal army of bolter wielding power armored troops.

Get it through your head. Plenty of chapters including even the space sharks aid churches and SoB. Many other chapters even spit on or attack the Ecclesiarchy on sight due to bad blood, so all the more reason not to interact with astartes.

If you want a chapter that sucks church dick just make your own. You don't need an official SoB version of the Minotaurs.
>>
>>47459183
go to any club or stuff like that and ask if someone is willing to let you try with his army
>>
>>47459183
Dont drop $500 in one go, buy something you like, paint it and start from there. I've seen way too many people waste money by never touching their armies after buying large ammounts in one go because they just cant paint all that shit and lose interest quick and then end up selling it all, interestingly enough its also the kind of people that goes around bitching how expensive shit is.

Buying isnt the hobby, painting and playing is the hobby. Spend $50 a month, paint that shit and then buy something else.

>Steel Confessors are

Were, anon. They were. Then the rest of the Imperium found out about it and the jig was up. Now the chapter is another Marine chapter.

All Marine chapters are independent and Minotaurs aren't anymore tied to the High Lords than any other chapter. It's merely a case of back scratches. You do them favors and they get you dips of cool shit or other benefits, and look the other way when you do bad stuff.

>>47458848
There are chapters who have accepted the Ecclesiarchy's teachings. They're still independent of the Ecclesiarchy, but follow the Imperial Creed.

What's the difference between Cult Mechanicus and Skitaari?

The sergeants are never going to use the axes, drop them. The smoke launchers aren't necessary since your tauroxes should be driving around, guns blazing all the time every time.

Have you looked at the in-codex formation? It's similar to your list
>>
>>47460195
Clear up your formatting. I don't need to see all the wargear. Separate out vehicles and infantry.

Dump the power weapons. Too expensive. You're going to die the moment you get into melee anyways.

hunter killers are mostly a waste of points.

Why don't you have 4x plasma guns in the command squad?

And take 2 command squads in a CAD. More guns = better.

Cult is the Tech Priests, and the robots and all that jazz.

Skitarii are the soldiers of the Omnissiah who are commanded by tech-priests and have cool guns and stuff.

Power-wise, I'd say that they're about high mid-tier.

Really, they should be combined into one codex any day now, hopefully.

I have no clue about the Genestealer cults though.

It does feel too expensive just for a unit that's supposed to provide ranged support. But I guess that can be said for the whole scion codex it'll be supporting.

It will probably underperform or disappear under a s6 blast.

Instead, why not use a chimera from the same codex with double bolters, a storm bolter, and psybolt ammo? It's similar output for wayyy cheaper (as much as I'd love to see the sniper inquisitor deathstar of doom)

So theres an ITC player finder that was just released, thats cool. Now you can connect with other players interested in playing the best 40k ruleset out there.
>>
>>47461084
It's not the best. The formation requires:
>1 Leman Russ
>1 Commisar
>1 Infantry Squad (Note this is a IS like from a platoon, not a Vet Squad or Conscripts)\

Then the infantry squad gets a 4+ cover save while within like 4 inches of the Russ t in their formation.

The IS can then just stand in front of the Russ and block charges. Or run up the field at the same rate the Russ rumbles.

Not two great, but if you were going to run vanilla vets, you might as well.

Choose the army that appeals to you most, esspecialy in terms of lore and look. Do keep in mind the rules of the army though, the last thing we need is another shitposting ork player.
Then, learn rules, and build 500 point army list.
Buy that list, doing so over time if need be. Assemble and paint all of list.
Play a few games with it, and then continue to expand.
Honestly, you should very rarely be spending anywhere close to 500$ on normal GW stuff in one purchase. The people who don't understand this are the ones who bitch about GW prices, when the problem is really on their end and their in ability to spend wisely. Well, poorfags also bitch, but their poorfags, and either should get a job or an education so they can get a better job, or should learn to cut back on expenses.
That said, GW could certainly find some cost cutting ways and then pass those savings onto the consumer, however there prices are far from outrageous. Hell, stuff like X-wing actually costs more per basic model.

Well I'm a complete newbie, but Basically I've been painting all my shit for half a year and never really had an urge to play until now.

So I walk in and basically 80% of the group is a of middleschool/early highschool teenagers playing with poorly painted or completely grey armies with barely any understanding of the rules. I'm talking not a single highlight or wash on any model out of like 6 different players. Then, I even knew the rules better than them, and helped them with rules clarifications and I don't even play.

Then there's the misinformation about the lore. It felt like they knew nothing about the setting. One guy who was PLAYING khorne daemons didn't even know why he had no psykers in his army and at first wasn't sure if he had any psykers.

Then there's the smell. Jesus christ my throat burns.

Yeah, just like an Artillery Gun, which is also an immobile unit that operates in an extremely similar manner.

The logic is actually pretty solid, especially the majority of hte Vehicle Damage table wouldn't make sense when applied to an empty container like the "explodes!" result (compared to fuel lines in a vehicle, for example, which would actually explode).

If models could actually get INSIDE of them and it had a Transport Capacity, I'd be confused, but they don't, so a Gun Carriage stat-line with a few extra Wounds is pretty reasonable and rules-efficient.

>ignore wraithknight
i ran a list with 8 vehicles and as a gargantuan creature can pick different targets. i couldn't ignore it. besides, at the time the only other units on the board were the jetbikes and unless he turbo boosted he wasn't getting rear armor, which he hadn't so that turn they weren't a threat.

On the one hand, I've always thought that was bullshit. Who the hell wants to mix different weapons in their squad? The player friendly thing to do would be to make four-packs of heavy weapons with which to upgrade a tac squad. Hell, the GW friendly thing to do would have been to sell each heavy weapon as an upgrade sprue, which would have been expensive as fuck to make Devastators out of, but nice for people who maybe want something other than a missile launcher in their tac squad.

On the other hand... it used to be one of each bit.

And the bits were metal.

What the fuck do you think they've been selling for years? Their back inventory you retarded fuck, they could make more but that'd be stupid as shit when the entire line is made of pewter which they've stop using for years and the fact that it hasnt sold that well since 3rd edition.

There is no point in keeping pewter sisters, this is the year or next where they either drop the line or update it because keeping it will be a loss as you're wasting capital that you could be using making a product that sells.

the more i think about it, the more skyhammer annihilation force seems like a point sink.

Having an assault squad assault on the turn they deep strike is useful, but the devs being able to fire after a drop are kind of garbage.

Lascannons would be better positioned downfield, multi-melta's are an expensive way to pop a vehicle, Heavy Bolters are useless, Grav-Cannons and Plasma are wasted against a squad embedded in cover, and there are less expensive ways to pop a transport/light vehicle

>>47464645
The Raven Guard formation of Vanguard Veterans is more powerful if you're looking to only do melee. Kit out one squad with Thunder Hammers and 2 storm shields to take down GC/SHW, and kit the other out with your choice of Lightning Claws or Power Axes. You only need TWO storm shields to soak wounds from AP2/D overwatch, or pitiful melee, anything more is just a waste of points.

It might also be useful to take a Grav Pistol on one of your sergeants, so you can bring your big targets down to your same initiative.

I believe the rules for the Tau fortifications gives them the ability to take the pieces individually or as part of a larger complex similar to above. The new armoured containers lets you have, as I remember, 1-3 crates with ammo boxes and fuel drums for each.

Personally I've just gone with individual fortifications, since about all of my armies are by theme more mobile than static. My Guard just has a bastion with quad gun and some extra barricades bought for it. My Chaos has a bastion with a relay and void shield (modeled as a Silver Tower of Tzeentch). My 30k SW have a bunker with quad gun and some extra barricades.

Personally I'm convinced GW is just a high profile money laundering firm. They have the perfect product for it, something with a 1000 to 2000 percent markup, small portable, susceptible to shrinkage with international shipping to obfuscate the paper and shipping trail.

One can only hope the profits are coming from drugs and not child pornography like they used to.

>No other major TT game manipulates rules and balance to sell models.

So why have Eldar always been OP? Why do most new minis have crap rules? The only thing sells get you is having your codex be updated with every edition.

I sure wish we had less nonsensical retards on this board.

The first list I ever wrote was an unbound army of Scout and Armoured Sentinels

I never built it, but you can imagine my glee when that list was legitimized by the Sentinel Mont'ka Formation

nice trips, maybe they will sharpen that razor wit of yours.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. It still amazes me to this day that there's an entire BLACK MARKET dedicated solely to selling fake chinese duplicates of games workshop's retardedly overpriced models.

Don't worry, anon, the doomsday preppers have all their bases covered. When GW finally fails, they can all rejoice that they were right all along.

If rules are changed to sell models, then why were Mutilators/Warp Talons/Dinobots such absolute ass?

The irony is there success. I don't think games workshop ever really intended itself to make a legitimate profit.

Its kind of like the movie "The Producers", success brought more financial scrutiny and brought interpol down on their heads.

You got some nice trips too. What else triggers your autistic fancy besides consecutive sets of numbers?

Any tips at all? Most stuff I can find by googling is from 2013 or older.

Ideally I'd like to do something like pic related (dakkajets and bombas optional), but I know how difficult it can be to play a mechanized Ork army.
