> ELDAR SUCK ASS I KICKED A 3000 POINT ARMY OF THEM OUT WITH AN 800 POINT ARMY AND ALL I USED WERE MY ZOANTHROPE HIVE TYRANT AND MY BIOVORE WARP BLAST AND ACID SPORE MINES MY FRIEND AND I DIDNT EVEN LOSE A SINGLE MODEL SO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN BITCH
If you're doing Tau and what to do a lore style Cadre, would there be more Fire Warriors on the field or more Kroot Carnivores and Vespid Stingwings?
I thought Tau were usually the minority in their own Cadres, but I've recently learned they have cloning so I'm not sure anymore.
>>47760120
>they have cloning
i thought cloning didn't work in 40k
>>47760120
You'd have more fire warriors. Auxiliaries are just that, auxiliaries.
>>47760133
>i thought cloning didn't work in 40k
If that were true for a second then the Krieg Regiments and Dark Eldar military wouldn't exist in the capacity they do now.
>>47760120
>>47760133
Small-scale cloning is doable for Tau and Imperium in the fluff, and the Imperium has large-scale cloning when it comes to very hi-tech worlds and background exceptions like Krieg.
Chaos can also kinda do it but its usually just Fabius Bile or Warp God shenanigans.
>>47760120
Depending on where the Cadre comes from, you can go for either more auxiliaries or more Tau. Most tend towards Tau soldiers with specialist Aux forces, but I'm pretty sure there's a sept out there that has a lot of aux soldiers to back them up.
>>47760133
>>47760195
Cloning doesn't, artificial wombs do.
>>47760187
>Auxiliaries are just that, auxiliaries.
I thought they were the majority and backbone of non-battlesuit infantry?
>>47760241
Not really. That doesn't make much sense from any perspective you look at it.
From a rules perspective, Vespid are fast attack, so they're going to be a minority no matter what. Kroot are troops like Fire Warriors, but even then that's only equals.
From fluff, Kroot are mercenaries and vespid are from a single world. Not the sort of thing that can be fielded in large numbers everywhere reliably.
And from artwork, most Tau battle scenes show a lot of fire warriors in ranks, with usually only a handful of vespid or kroot.
Fire Warriors are still lthe backbone of the Tau military, even if Battlesuit spam lists with a handful of Kroot snipers is more popular.

So I'm a bit unclear on how Allies work. Do you have to take an Allied detachment to bring any allies, or can you just bring any Allied formation that's not a CAD?
For example, If I'm playing IG and decide to bring Space Marine allies, do they have to be in an Allied Detachment, or can I just bring a 1st Company Task Force?
>>47760374
Act appropriately and do taurox stunts.
>>47760489
As long as they're in some formation and line IP on the ally chart, you can bring them. The allied detachment is just a way to bring a small number in a limited way
>>47760489
To make a battle forged army, you can bring any number of any type of detachment of any faction. (literally. any) As long as you obey each detachment's restrictions (for example, the Allied Detachment can't be the same faction as your primary)
>>47760489
I swear to god if somebody has to explain detachments one more fucking time I'm going to scream.
>>47760517
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>47760286
I can't wait for the Tau to overstretch and go full WRE relying on mercenaries. CIVIL WAR WHEN?
>>47760490
Like this?
>>47760541
That really isn't something to be upset about is it
>>47760517
Except fortification detachments, which are for some reason inextricably linked to CAD's and really shouldn't be called detachments at all.
Are there special rules for using forge world units?
>>47760552
HOW THE FUCK!??
YOU READ MY MIND!!!
>>47760554
I think he's more on the line of thought of "Seven Allies. IMAGINE"
>>47760554
This. It's confused by people often explaining it in terms of previous editions, when now it's just "take whatever the fuck you want, literally the only restriction is this one on the Allied Detachment".
>>47760563
Just follow the rules as written in the appropriate Imperial Armour book.
>>47760552
I was going to post that but I didn't think anybody else would get the reference.
Bet you can't guess what I'm thinking NOW though. (I'll give you a hint: it involve the general lee and a midair collision with the flying car from Harry Potter)
>>47760563
Yeah, you ask your opponent if it's okay beforehand, and unless they're a dick or you're running shit like the Supremacy suit you'll be fine.
>>47760552
Correct.
>>47760589
I was looking at Samus in particular.
>>47760555
seriously, why do you need a CAD to take fortifications? its not like you really see a lot of fortifications on table top anyway.
>>47760596
At some point they have to do a sick stunt where a Valkyrie flies in and grav-chutes out some people whilst they jump over it in the Taurox.
>Fromageation makes the fire prism's firepower "more deadly"
Oh goody.
>>47760133
>i thought cloning didn't work in 40k
Cloning DOES work in 40K. The only issue is that cloned humans do not have souls, and are therefore easily possessable by Daemon and other Warp-creatures (as they don't possess either a soul OR the Pariah gene).
>>47760195
>>47760217
It's not known what the Krieg actually do to replenish their numbers. All that's known is that it's so bad that Commissars keep it under wraps for morale purposes, and they themselves admit it makes them uncomfortable to know about.
It may be cloning, but it's far more likely something worse like state-sanctioned rape factories or vat-growing procedures.
>>47760623
No clues what the DE formation does, if you're wondering.
>>47760615
If you're playing Guard as anything over than mech infantry you're going to be taking an Aegis minimum
>>47760623
Because that's what Fire Prisms need.
>>47760623
>Farseer
>3 Jetbikes
>Tank
Seems like a very low model count for a Starter box, but I suppose that fits Eldar.
I was expecting Guardians or Warwalkers instead though.
>>47760636
I'll beat pain token manipulation, again.
>>47760565
I'm a psyker it's what I do.
>>47760596
I'm not that good.
>>47760600
Now I have a name for my Scions. Filename related.
>>47760617
I wish I could draw this.
But Formations are a fucking detachment!
So it really should say, you take any number of detachments, EXCEPT fortifications, because we are dicks and didn't think about that.
>>47760133
The Imperium also uses clones to make a lot of their servitors (they're not all criminals).
>>47760633
Dead Men Walking seems to indicate that the "Vitae Womb" tech is some kind of fertility treatment that all non-sterile females on Krieg must participate in. Whether or not they're impregnated via sex or some other (assuredly nightmarish method) is left unstated however.

>I was expecting Guardians or Warwalkers
Me too. I was expecting farseer, guardians and wraithlord or fireprism. 5 is a very small number of units when you compare to the other SC! that have between 10 and 15 models
>>47760729
Thanks, m8. Now I have to create their Chaos enemies. I'm calling them the Alpha Louisiana Women.
>>47760772
can this be their theme song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0OFF3q4Pxk
>>47760744
Yeah, even just comparing to the Dark Eldar one, they're basically the same except DE has 10 Kabalites where the Eldar should have Guardians.
Got a general question.
How much do you guys care about weapons on models compared to weapons in the list? Say I have 5 Wraithblades, 3 have ghostswords, 2 have ghostaxes. I tell you that all of them have ghostaxes. Would you raise a fuss over it?
>>47760729

My wave serpents are fucking underpriced, for like 145 points I get an av12 fast skimmer dedicated transport with a 5++ and has armament capable of destroying light tanks and heavy infantry and can ignore pens on a 2+
>>47760855
noice!!!
>>47760623
Piss. I wanted to start Eldar as my first army but I hate jetbikes.
>>47760841
The weapon options (brrrt guns, missiles) are overpriced. The rules are solid, though.
Breaking News!!!
>>47760909
yeah, but its still technically a transport, which makes it really fucking expensive if you're just using it to cart your troops around.
>>47760909
Also delivers squads of S:D Flamers to fuck up your superheavies in one turn.
>>47760525
It's the Allied detachment that's the cause of 90% of the issues, I swear.

Not everything's perfect in eldar land? Oh man Im so sorry, maybe next edition they could give it an option for D flamers and reduce it to 50pts!.

Since this is my third try I may well do, I prefer talking here though because you tend to get a faster response.
Cheers though!
>>47760986
What I'm saying is if you have any infantry at all, you are going to need like 3 or 4 of them, which is basically a third of your points right then and there.
>>47760633
>It may be cloning, but it's far more likely something worse like state-sanctioned rape factories or vat-growing procedures.
Like what Honsou and the boys were doing in Dead Sky, Black Sun?
Also, there is a Dune faction that does that or something similar to it as I recall. I want to say it's the Ixians, but I'm not sure.
>>47760932
I fixed your image brah.
>>47760657
>>47760744
>>47760791
that was in the previous box set. I think they didn't just want to repeat that.
>>47761011
Well then I guess they need a buff! 5++ inv, Jink, Tank tier weapons, Fast and ignores pens on a 2+? NOT ENOUGH! ELDAR NEED HELP!
You want a transport thats overpriced? Land Raiders and now with the new FAQ probably most Dark Eldar shit, learn your fucking place Eldar.
Since their rivals are tacticool sneaky beakie operators the Alpha Louisiana Women need to be the polar opposites.

Any other ideas gents?
>>47761033
Tleilaxu. And yeah, the idea was ripped straight from Dune.
>>47760623
This is the first "Start Collecting" box that cannot be used as a Kill Team and this bothers me deeply.
>>47760986
>>47761011
it's an upside downside thing.
Wave serpents are really good, even for their cost, but the downside is that you don't get a cheap transport option.
Now that they nerfed the serpent shield shooting, and it's no longer also the best shooting tank in the army, it fits pretty well.
Very good, but it's not one of the parts of the eldar codex that makes in fucked up even from internal analysis.
>>47761006
>>47760995
Kill Teams gets discussed a fair amount in the WIP general.
We really need a kill teams general at least on a weekly basis.
>>47761089
Russes can be used in kill team?
>>47761060
I'm not saying they need a buff, if anything they need a nerf, i'm just saying, its a fucking expensive transport.
>>47761118
I think Guardians and Jetbikes should both have 4+ armor. Makes jetbikes slightly less appealing and makes footslogging guardians slightly more feasible.
>>47761109
No, they cant.
>>47761062
>>act like Southern Belles

You can't make this shit up.

so >>47761089 is completely wrong?
>>47761095
>Serpent Shield
>fast transport
>ignore pens on a 2+
Tell me anon, what other transport in the game compares to this?
>>47761161
guardians are cheap fodder. why the eldar have cheap fodder i don't know. I'm not sure what a 4+ armor save is worth on a guardians profile.
the jetbikes thing is a good idea, though.
>>47761233
>people think this is a big deal, worthy of comment
I can't make this shit up.
>>47761234
read the god damn post you mong
>>47761100
Cool, I'll talk to some people over there, thanks!
A Kill Team general would be nice, it'd be interesting to gauge how popular it is on tg
>>47761233
No, you're wrong, dark eldar aren't the only one not to have the formation described, chaos space marines didn't either.
WAIT A MINUTE
>>47761250
It'd probably be only a 1 or 2 point increase, and them being cheap fodder is exactly why that should be changed. They are civilians, but Eldar should really have the resources to armor them better than guardsmen, and the motivation to do so with the whole dying race thing.
>>47761234
Yes.
>>47761249
Keep in mind that for the same price, you could have half a Wraithknight. Would you rather have two Wave Serpents or one Wraithknight?
>>47761295
I'd rather have fun.
>>47761249
what part of 'is really good, even for it's cost' do you not understand?
The downside isn't in the waveserpent itself, it's that if you just want a transport, you need to pay 110 pts.
Also, you counted the serpent shield twice. It's a good thing, but writing it's name, then writing the rules for it, as if they are separate bonuses is pretty disingenuous.
>>47761214
Looting is always an option. They are highly devoted.
>>47761220
Thank you. I originally hoped that these guys would be anti-Tau, but for some reason I only get anti-Chaos.
>>47761224
I love the knight back there.
>>47761276
don't they have invul saves or something?
>>47761234
He is mostly correct, which one other exception.
9/10 is still a 90% anon.
>>47761312
Nope. Just a standard 5+ mesh armor. Pretty much any basic infantry gun will utterly shred them.
>>47761267
Moderately. HoR Kill Team is going through an update through committee that's absolutely cancerous to watch.
"But what if this unit could take all of the guns?"
"Hey! Didn't read any of the update notes but we should include Ogryns and Squats and Felanids in EVERY imperial army."
>>47760977
Lot of models which is good, not much mid/high str or ap3 though.
The rerollable armor save sucks, its a waste of points. You can take a Medic for 5 points less than a Scion with a medkit. Idk if a lone guy with a HS lasgun is worth the 5 points. Maybe.
Dont format it like that man, keep it short and sweet and you'll get more replies.
>>47761316
no, it's 100 percent wrong, because he said 'first'.
One other existing means it's not the first.
If he'd said 'another', he would have been correct, and had a point about being bothered, but that isn't what he said.
Just bought two more Guardsmen boxes for my embarassingly low body count force. Is all Lasguns a dumb idea? Im kind of in love with Rank Fire now.
>>47761333
A second Start Collecting box that cannot be used as a kill team. This bothers me deeply.
>>47761339
what you want to do is buy a command squad then buy one of those 10 dollar 5 man cadian squads. It will stretch your bits and sprues and let you take more special weapons.
I dont know what to put in to google the image, someone got that Tau image where the guy's like "In the emperor's name? But Monk'la, you don't know his name"
I know this ain't /r/ but hopefully you all don't mind the request.
>>47761360
I already do have a command squad.
I can comfortably fill out a command squad of either platoon or company, two infantry, one vet, two russes, a heavy team, and a Lord Comissar with what I had before this purchase.
>>47760067
>>47760841
They're glass cannons that are mostly glass and less cannon. Chimeras and Rhinos are better for mobile, relatively durable gun lines while Tauroxes are just Allah-Akbar cars, and they are pricey for that.
>>47761347
Just off the top of my head, these Start Collecting boxes contain units not legal in Kill Team:
Necrons
Skitarii
CSM
SM
IG
Theres probably more. And to be clear Im talking about HoR Kill Team. The GW rules are inferior and no one playing Kill Team should use them.

You're playing Eldar, if either player is having fun you're doing it wrong
>>47761403
>must be accompanied by an officer
They took out the "it's dark in dere" rule, and also made ogryn take up three spots in the chim instead of two. So you can't run the five ogryn + commissar +priest meat bus, which was one of IG's more interesting gimmick units.
I mean I get that bullgryn would have been way too good if you could shove them into chims like that, but the regular ogryn weren't really good enough to justify the nerf
>>47761439
Chimeras have the Amphibious rule.
>>47761434
>>47761434
That'd be a command squad and a Canoness.
Forgot the 10 Battle Sister squad with a Storm Bolter and Heavy Bolter.
>>47761439
Specialized? Not really. Many that can operate underwater though, such as Marines.
Enemy wise, there's always Orks submersibles.
>>47761439
Emperors Children fought an entire planet of amphibians on a waterworld. They were Slaanesh worshippers, and kickstarted Fulgrim - and his Legion - succumbing to Chaos.
The slimy lizard fish race made a weird noise in their debauchery that inspired the sounds the first Noise Marines made.
And of course, the final battle on the planet is where Fulgrim obtained the Daemon possessed sword that ended up possessing him, and cutting Ferrus Manus' head off.
>>47761445

You're seeing patterns that don't mean anything. Take a break from this hobby.
>>47761523

on the tab of a few of them it says 1996, but i don't know if that's to do with the battle sisters trademarking or their production
>>47761716
Still older than me
>>47761739
Reported.
>>47761680
Last update of the overall line was 92. They might have had a one model release or something more recently.
>>47761770
People born in 1998 can legally post here
>>47761773
I was born in 92. Wtf.
>>47761561
Oh. Fair point.
>>47761578
Yup. Definitely one of the worst models ever made.
>>47761618
Some are from second edition, the rest are from 3rd. She was a 3rd Ed model originally released as part of the Inquisitorial retinue IIRC.
>>47761773
>92
>>47761716
>>47761773
Their first codex was for 2E in 1997. How did they have a full model line before that?

Then you may be a sister of battle.

-Permanent O-face.
>>47761578
I could wittle a better model out of a my feces.
>>47761852
Yeah, but it'd take longer than the shipping to dry it out and start whittling. Better to spend more money on resin crack.
>>47761843
2nd edition in 1997? C'mon man, I'm pretty sure I got into the game in 3rd edition about '95 or so.
>>47761852
but can you make it look permatriggered?
>>47761844
I prefer the term SoB
>>47761773
Early 2000s, with the release of their 3rd ed codex I think, that was the last time GW supported the line. I want to say it was the repentia kit but I may be talking out of my ass.
>>47761878
Third came out in 98. Look it up.

3rd came out in 98, lasted until 2004, SoB got their last real codex in 2003. Then 5th in 2008, 6th 2012, 7th 2014?.
>>47761926
I didn't think they got a 7E codex.
>>47761926
How long until new editions come out yearly?
>>47760715
yes it seems like a solid deal
I'm not familiar with SM stuff, is this how Whirlwind missiles work?
Is it wrong to like the Grey Knights?
I know the Ward-dex was insane with +2 initiative halberds but is it okay to play them now that grav guns are a thing?
I just like the idea of super-space marines with fucking force claymores and wrist mounted bolters... so fucking cool!
But I do care somewhat about my opponent's fun and I don't want to be "that guy" for liking mary sue marines.
>>47761974
Sure, why not
>>47761986
>Claymores
Grey Knights don't have those. The Storm Wardens do.
>>47760636
Is that archon going to walk? Because that raider can only carry 10 guysthanks GW
>>47761986
Grey Knights would be balanced if not for the AP2 everywhere these days, as they are right now they're a bit underpowered.
>>47761986
GK are mediocre on their own.
>>47761986
I play grey knights. Love them. Don't expect to win much, but there's no ill will towards them from what I've seen. I even lose to orks a lot lol. We just aren't very versatile.
>>47761974
As long I get to remove chaos with Tarkus again all is well.
>>47761998
Look at the size of these swords and the length of their hilts and tell me that's not a fucking claymore.
>>47761974
Seems accurate to how they're supposed to work.
>>47762037
I feel the same way
GK fan here, I don't care too much about winning. I just play armies for their appearance, lore, and play style - even if it's not the most effective thing in the meta.
If you aren't playing Eldar or Tau or Gladius you're pretty much mid-tier and that's fine with me. I don't really believe in trying to win in "tournament" 40k since the allies system is so fucking broken.
FYI my other armies are SW and BA.
I like two things: Melee and Marines.
>>47762071
>>47761974
I mean, it's how airburst munitions work, and that's what Whirlwinds fire. If it's not how they're expressly written to work, it's an entirely reasonable take on how they function.
>>47761986
GKs weren't busted because of halberds, you had to pay a decent fee for them.
It was purifier spam, psybolt mortis dreads, flyers when few armies had a counter, and dreadknights when few armies could stand before them.
If the dex was exactly the same now, it would be a good dex, but would still lack the numbers and firepower that accompanies it to stand against the best.
Honestly, I loved how it could have low numbers and still punch way above it's numerical weight with good gear and strong units.
>>47759877
>>47761439
We rolled up some guard regiment a few months ago specializing in amphibious and void-boarding operations. We fluffed them they'd flood ship corridors with water and board underwater
>>47761974
Look, GW is fucking stupid when it comes to explaining how shit works. How the hell do Meltas work, for example? We know what they DO, but how do they do it?
Look at Total War: Warhammer. The Lumiark of Hysh has a picture in the Empire codex, firing a beam. Yet the game has the Lumiark fire a 'fireball' of light.
Now, you could argue that CA were just super fucking lazy and re-used the Dwarf Flamecannon model... But then that asks the question: Since when does an implied Flamethrower Cannon fire big balls of fire?
It's best to just shrug and let companies do what they want.
I'm more annoyed about the Knight pilot arguing with Gabe about what he was doing. Bitch, you don't get to argue. If you're part of a House, you're bonded to the Space Marine Chapter either forever or for a battle, in which case, neither allow you to gainsay what their overall leader says. Or, if you're a Freeblade, you have even less of a say because you don't have any oaths of loyalty or shit to the Chapter, you're going to be less likely to be trusted in your opinion. Especially if you're a mute like the Obsidian Knight.
Oh and Knight Titans don't fucking drop in like that, either. They land in fuckhuge Marcocarriers.

Askin for a friend.
>>47762038
Those look more like Zweihanders to me. It's the hilt that does it.
>>47762172
They're both just two handed swords, it doesn't matter what you call it in a space fantasy game.
>>47762151

>>47762222
Quads of truth!

Are you Darius?
40k needs more steampunk
>>47762228
I don't regret creating the Omega Mississippi Men.
>>47762116
Fuck that looks cool. Tau foot infantry need more rail rifles, they're pretty rad.
I'd say a variant Stealthsuit with a shoulder-mounted sniper rifle. Stealthy Ranged Support mirror to Shadowsun's Stealthy close-range support. The rifle itself is folder on the back and he leans, the rifle unfolds over his shoulder and grips/braces with his arms for added stability. If you're familiar with the Armored Core games, it's like when you use shoulder-mounted guns without Human+.
Make him have some synergy with other rail rifle units, like giving them an extra shot, extends their range by 12 inches or makes them twin-linked.

Who?

Zog me, boss. It's bootiful.
>>47762249

I meant KNEELS. He kneels and the rifle unfolds from the back and his body essentially acts like the bipod while aiming normally.

A dude from B&C GK forums. I think there's something similar in the way you write. And I'm fairly sure he reads /tg/.
But guess you're not. Have a Grey Knight.
>>47762255
Happens. I'm supposed to be filing off mould lines but I spent most of my day replaying Quake 2. I DID get a neck injury that makes moving even an inch really painful so I have an excuse tho~
Some of the Strogg would make for really cool Chaos units. Obliterators for sure.
>>47762285
Ayy that's cool, they got a whole range!
>Big Shas
>Missing hand

WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>47762287
That conversion addresses one of the major issues I've always had with the Dreadknight aesthetics wise.
The lack of operator protection and the fact that the blade is held and not arm mounted.
Same with the Wraithknight on the blade being held. Things that big should have the blade mounted to the arm in my opinion.
>>47762116
I think I'm liking their female Greater Goods.
>>47761974
IIRC yeah, the missiles blast out metal shards in the shape of the aquila onto the enemies of the emperor, so that they last thing they see is his divine symbol. Metal as fuck.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>47762353
Something's off with that face. Boys, you know what Imma talking about right?
>nips showing
Woman, cover yourself,
>>47762255
You write fanfiction, for one thing.
You use battle scribe, for another.
That tells me you're probably not the rare 1% of actual good fanfiction authors.
>>47762347
Of these things we agree. If I hadn't bought my Dreadknights used I would've built them kind of like that. I'm still planning to make the loin cloth conversion to all of them though. Just need two more boxes of terminators for flags.
>>47762211
I typed fast. I'm sorry.
>>47762347
Operator Protection is made with the forcefield.
>>47762353
Yeah they're pretty nice but too fetishized for my liking. I usually don't give a damn about such things but I feel the difference in detail of this range alone would make them stick out like a sore thumb in front of GW's range.
To add a half-naked female tau with big tits and nipples visible just triples that. I applaud the detail and the sculpt, but I'd pass. Honestly it's this kinda stuff that gives us a bad rep as creeps and weirdos.
>>47761974
seems to fit with the description of castellan missiles, which airburst with cluster munitions
>>47762377
no, thats the wyverns stormshard mortars, they're filled with 1 inch flechettes in the shape of imperial aquilas
>>47762377
That's the stormshard mortar on the wyvern that has the aquila shrapnel.
>>47762287
This pleases me. Maybe if more people do this, GW will change the look of those models. I mean I doubt it but.. one can dream.
>>47762388
what i mean is that i shouldn't be wasting my time programming a bunch of shit for whiny brats who don't even appreciate it and should instead be doing something I enjoy.
I'm having a bad night, /tg/
How are you guys feeling?
>>47762404
>>47762423
Fair enuff, but if those castellan missiles aren't loaded with aquilas-but-biggerer I'll be disappointed.
>>47762388
Not him, but let me guess, you think LCB is 'good' fanfiction?
>>47762442
Obviously.
Wait, I've heard that the Scions dex can't take Wyverns or Bullgryns, when those are supposed to be Scions units. What gives?
>>47760952
>>47760950
>>47760960
>>47762444
It gets better. Go exercise or put on something you like and do some painting.
Whatever you're thinking about, go clear your head.
>>47762458
LCB?
>>47762468
No it's not.
>>47762444
every night is a bad night for me...
>>47762473
can't. too grizzly.
would be mistaken for a bear and shot
>>47762491
well anon, you just gotta look your dad straight in the eye and say, "Stop Molesting Me!"
Alright, you cheeky cunts. What's all this I'm hearing about a plastic daemon Magnus the Red?
>>47762463
What? No, they are not Scions units.
Scions codex has Scion command squad, Scion troop squad, Comissar, Taurox Prime and Valkyrie. Nothing else.
Best way to play them is to spam Command squads with 4 special weapons.
>>47762347
>Things that big should have the blade mounted to the arm in my opinion.
Why? Hands make a lot more sense than just mounting a blade to the forearm. Wrists are really important in fencing.
>>47762473
Already did my 2 hours at the gym today. My lats are sore as fuck.
I'm usually a really happy guy so when I do have a bad night, it hits me hard. Thanks for caring I guess.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0AxrOUJ62E
right in the feels. I'd rather see young men playing with toy soldiers than real guns.
>>47762491
>>47762538
Yes, but a blade that large means it can be knocked from your hand easier.
>>47762491
Anon...
>>47762568
Aren't most huge weapons connected by cables and shit to the glove of the armor anyways?
Without your wrist or even being able to change your grip on the hilt you'll lose more or less every fight against an otherwise evenly matched opponent.
>>47762568
What if you had a robot hand.
>>47762491
Play a quick game of Find The Sergeant?
>>47762591
>Aren't most huge weapons connected by cables and shit to the glove of the armor anyways?
Not in the case of the Wraithknight or the Dreadknight.
