In the last thread questions on the LACAL, elites, and Ursarax were asked, discussion on Ol' Morty and Barbarus accents was made, I got a writefaggotry project in the works, traitor Primarch clown cars usually don't involve Perturabo, Curze, or even Horus strangely enough, the Primarch and legion quizs continue to get odd results, a new ZM scenario was made, discussion on just who was going away once the Crusade was over, and complaints about the Ultras were made plus more in the last thread >>48115414

Y'know, I think one reason this game doesn't have as many players is because they like playing a successor chapter, which makes perfect sense to me.
>>
>>48135429
On the other hand this game is extremely attractive to CSM players as they can finally get rules to reflect their favorite legions. again
>>
>>48135429

People are tired of loyalist legions since they get a lot of exposure in 40k. It's why traitors and Mechanicus are so popular in 30k.
>>
>>48135490
True enough.

Anyways, does anyone know what two legions are going to be in the next box?

>>48135525
That's true as well, though there are still going to be people that like to play the more obscure warbands.
>>

The only info with good credibility is that it WON'T be UM and WB.

Oh, I just posted Frank Castle because he's 30k related and technically part of my question.

But what about the Steel Confessors and such? Or what if an anon didn't like the IH's color scheme, which is why they chose a successor?

True enough. I've heard it'll be Mk.III breachers and assaults, right? So maybe Fists and WE?

I can understand people not wanting to pay too much. But using chinamen as a first option all the time feels, I don't know, bad?

As I said, for some stuff that is not required, like the upcoming Mastodon, or other massive vehicles that are more guilty pleasure than anything else, I can understand using them.
But infantry is the core of the vast majority of armies. If you're not able to afford the core of your hobby, you're doing it wrong.

It's like those people who barely make both ends meet and cry about it, and then you see them with expensive ass clothes or eating out all the time.

I'll still play someone with chinamen of course. But I would definitely laugh inside if the guy then said that he was having a hard time with his budget.

Anyhoo.
>>
>>48136038
Dang it, I knew you'd bring them up.
Anyways, on a more serious note the people who like the Steel Confessors and like staying towards canon wouldn't play them in 30k because they're of a later founding as said earlier. I do know that there are at least a couple anons who have chosen certain successor chapter simply because they didn't like the founding chapter's color scheme. Though, now I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing and I should stop now.

You still can't get me to like the topknots!


>Subtly
>>
>>48135781
Other than Thousand Sons becoming Rubrics and Death Guard going full Plague Marine the 40k version of the traitor legions are still pretty similar to the 30k versions. Just more chaos shit and dinobots. I suppose that is a pretty significant difference, but I don't think it reflects a change in the underlying themes of IW, NL, WB, WE, AL, or SoH/BL. EC are actually quite different, but I feel like we'll get there before the seige of Terra.

He should be better than launch Horus, but then Horus should get a chaotic upgrade. Sanguinius will probably let you charge on the same turn you deepstrike, or all his army rerolls scatter or something.

Its going to be the 5th ed descent of angels rule where everything with deep strike only scatters D6''. Sanguinius himself will act as a deep strike beacon and I would give him the ability to choose his warlord trait and call reserves on turn 1.
>>
>>48136928
I would give them special weapons and deep strike them with Polux or attach vigilators and infiltrate/outflank them or get a fortification and use it as a transport.

I'd rather give that to the Lion, along with his +4I or something.

Didn't Horus himself say that he was unsure of how a Sang v. Horus would turn out?

Also if Sang isn't a FMC, we need to burn FW.

>>48137152
Sanguinius should at the very least move like a FMC like that Tau Commander can, otherwise someone will go Ashen Circle on FW's headquarters.
And GW's too, because of sheer arsonism.

>Why should I pay more for their product when I can get it cheaper? Isn't the capitalism a two way street? Both the consumer and the producer are nigh obligated on getting the best prices possible.

Technically, capitalism isn't synonymous with market economics; it's about ownership/control being assigned to the provider of capital (investor) rather than the actual people doing the work or managing the people doing the work.

But yes, it's a two way street and in this case FW's biggest costs are in designing the minis and creating a world for them to play in. You're saying that you're only willing to pay the guy casting minis and you've found a cheaper dude doing the same thing in China. That makes you the one trying to make this a one-way street because it's a fraction of FW's expenses.

I get it, I really do. I want a White Scars army and paying US$70-80 for a Land Speeder or three Outrider bikes is ridiculous. I can't promise that I won't buy some cheaper ones. But FW's earned a fair amount of my hobby money.

Perturabo should have been warmaster.
>>
>>48136258
As far as the fluff from Istvaan onward I don't think there are such huge changes in the theme and style of those legions.

SoH to Black Legion. Yeah pretty big change actually.

WE went from nailed-up, chainaxe wielding berserkers in white and blue to Khorned-up, chainaxe wielding berserkers in red and brass. It's kind of a subtle difference in style really.

Word Bearers really just turn it up to 11 in 40k but that's about it. They're summoning daemons right out the gate in 30k.

Alpha Legion just goes even more off the books. So turning it up to 11 again.

I really only see big thematic differences between the HH and 40k versions of SoH, TS, DG and EC. IW, NL, WB, WE, and AL just take what they were already doing further.

Sanguinus should have been the Warmasater no question. He was incorruptible and a willing weapon of the Emperor with no ambitions outside keeping his legion well.

Except he wasn't the perfect image of a man, he was an abomination and a mutant. He was impure and the Emperor resented him for such.

Sanguinius was the embodiment of humanity. When people thought of him they did not see an image they saw an idea of light and hope. The Emperor didn't resent Sanguinius for his wings, but Horus was much more relatable, much closer to the common man.

Funnily enough though the mutations probably WOULD have been a factor in who should be warmaster. An angelic being leading a crusade to end all belief in gods would hardly serve as effective propaganda. Add in Lorgar ALREADY suggesting that Sanguinus being an angel incarnate turns the issue into too much of a pr issue.

Gazing through the mists of time to the last thread when everyone was prattling about accents, I've found a thing which gives you a sense of what English sounded like back in the 1600s:

https://youtu.be/gPlpphT7n9s?t=2m58s

Not like modern day RP, but not like an American accent either. More like West Country, or a pirate. The Northern and Scottish accent are also supposed to be closer to the 'original' British accent, if such a thing exists.

One one hand, it's one of my favorite models, it has a Plasma cannon that DOESN'T have Gets Hot!, and disregarding the rules that cause it to autowound Psykers and Daemons in the legion filled with Psykers and Daemons it's not that bad.

On the other hand, however...
It's ridiculously overcosted, and autowounds Psykers and Daemons in the legion filled with Psykers and Daemons. Heck, if you put two next to eachother, they'd hurt themselves because they are Daemons themselves.

My sides. If it helps (not really), they're still better than Rampagers.

I doubt that. Pretty sure Rampagers aren't worth 2 Contemptor Cortis Dreads, and I don't think they can hurt half your legion.

Sigismund scares me. My buddy runs his 30k Templars in 40k. I managed to kill Sigismund one time with Commander Dante simply by using Hit & Run to nearly continuously get out of his range to charge, then charging in on my turn. Still his command squad held up for quite a while, and in the end it was only Dante and my standard bearer alive out of an expensive squad with Dante, sanguinary guard, a sanguinary priest, and a storm shield captain. Now when he fields that army, I avoid Sigismund like he's the friggin boogie man; re-rolling invulnerable saves is scary stuff.

In other Dreadnought-related matters, how does this look for a dread-based list to paint towards? I'm just spitballing here, but i'm tired of painting green loyalists and no-one plays Night Lords nearby, giving me both hipster cred and something completely different to paint. I have a nearly-untouched (termies have been used, dread is unpainted) set of Calth, and Sevetar and another Contemptor is just under the budget

Kinda dickish, unless you play in a place where there is literally no-one but 40k WAACfags it seems kinda pointless. Sure, you'll win unless someone brings three Leviathans and four Melta squads in pods, but three GW plastic Knights and five marines is the sort of thing i would expect to see in 40k tournaments. Basically, this is the kind of thing that leads to people telling you to neck yourself on the internet.
>>
>>48140742
Oh
>>
>>48140752
so drop the knights and buy 20 breachers, run stone gauntlet, get a spartan and a medusa or 3.
>>
>>48140594
Yeah, I wouldn't play against this. It's a good list, but, like the other anon said, you'd need WAACfags to find a game.
>>
>>48140742

On this kind of subject, what number of power-armoured bodies ought a HH list at 2500 to have in it to make it not-dickish? 30-40?

>>48140594

It's not just that you're taking three knights, but that you're also ensuring that nearly everything else is a tank. It reeks of WAAC faggotry, even if that wasn't your intention. Replacing some of the armour with a decent quantity of infantry would make you look like less of an arse.
>>
>>48140594
>>48140752
Yeah, I'm not sure why you're surprised.

Facing a single knight is already "either hard counter it or let it kill everything freely", triple knight becomes "either hard counter it or lose", triple knight + wall of AV13-14 becomes "either bring a tailored list that only has anti-tank or concede before the game even starts".
You might still lose because of your lack of scoring units, but either way it's a horribly frustrating and boring list to play against.

>>48140786
Hoping for plastic breachers later this year, otherwise I'll buy the forgeworld ones. I would love to run a stone gauntlet eventually.

Can't take Knights as War Machine with RAW. I had a Knight Crusader I was gonna use originally, but /tg/ Reddit and a few other forums all collectively told me I need 2+ Knights to ally with a legion. So I bought the 2 box set and now I have too many Knights. Woops.
>>
>>48141008
And do you have to use all three? Just use two for a pair very powerful, hard to kill threats. Now meltabombs have been nerfed into unusability, Knights are insanely hard to damage for Legions, and can easily destroy things which trouble most legion lists (Flare Shielded Spartans, Typhons, Primarchs that lack s9+)

Learn to write a list in shorthand, it makes listbuilding much easier since you actually know how it all adds up in your head, allowing you to field a more unexpected list every time. Try this out

255-Vets x10 - Rhino, AA, Vexilla (Sniper)
255-Vets x10 - Rhino, AA, Vexilla (Sniper)
460-Templars-5 shields, Gauntlet, Phobos
95-Predator Squadron-HB
1295
410-Knight Warden
295-Knight Aspirant
705
Theres a nasty 2k point IF list which could only ever bring accusations of WAAC from the two knights, which is a much less egregious offence than three, especially with the new box meaning everyone can do it. You lose OS on the predator but gain some actually good troops, since BS5 Snipers can make mincemeat out of most things. Also the list no longer makes your eyes bleed

An extra 50 points each on a 215-point squad is a pretty big investment.

I could drop Sevetar down to a Delegatus, or i could bump it up to 1500 points and bring some extra toys. Is Sevetar good as a beatstick HQ?

Honestly the whole armoured column list is a touchy subject because it is so vastly different from the rest of the HH armies. Foot slogging infantry heavy armies are much more common in HH than 40k and many people only have enough AT to kill a few light tanks or dreadnoughts, a spartan, and maybe a flyer. My list for example would just get rekt by an armoured column since I have next to no ways to deal with so much armour.

I would suggest include some more infantry (I would take 4 tac squads or something maybe some vets or terminators) and let the opponent list tailor because they are facing such a specialized list.

>I thought the assault marine legion was chiefly the BA (and the NL with their Raptors)
While all legions had a specialty or gimmick they were all proficient in all aspects of war, there is nothing stopping one Legion from mimicking Tactics of another, especially not the Ultramarines who copy everyone. Also neither of those legions are the Assault marine legion, BA are assault and NL are terror specialists. Jump marines just help them in their designated roles .

Meh, few years from now and their fluff will be completely changed.
>>
>>48144853
Why? Changing the fluff of armor would be stupid. Wait. They did that with mk3 once.
>>
>>48138053
Gulliman, sangi, or Lionel would have been better
>>
>>48144884
Or how about the MkVI? Which is featured in a ton of old HH and Great Crusade art, then in the fluff it's said to have been invented towards the end of the Heresy, and now FW fluff says there were prototypes of the suit circling legions before the Heresy.

Go figure.

>>48144548
>And I was like "No it fucking shouldn't. It's a god damn custom job made by some crazy artist. It was not designed for ease of modification or repair."
You do remember that Fulgrim made the hammer for himself instead of for Ferrus, right?

It doesn't make sense why they'd change the fluff for Cataphractii. As for the Beakie armor after the Heresy is probably when they finalized the design.
>>
>>48144992
I'm pretty sure they weren't made by Ferrus in the old days before the modern fluff. So that already is a change. They can do whatever they like. They can make it so that he helped create them. Or his ideas had influence on the Admech developers. Or he perfected the original designs now lost to history.
>>
>>48144941
Because "towards the end of the Heresy" used to mean literally anything that happened between Isstvan V and Terra. Now we know that was actually a sizable chunk of time.
>>
>>48145029
"Towards the end of the Heresy" as in "traitors are arriving in Sol system." Once traitor took Mars, they distributed the suits to their forces as well.
>>
>>48144775
I meant it as being iconical for the legion to have them as a legion specific (on HH4 the SoH are recorded using terror tactics, and all traitor used banestrike on Istvaan V). For example, IW were all about assaults too, but assault marines look weird in IW colors.
And you bet the BA will have special assault marines too.

Deathwing - Vets/Termies
Ironwing - Tonks (we have this already)
Ravenwing - Bikes
Dreadwing - Destroyers and other proscribed tech
Stormwing - Boarder Assaulters and space fighting
Firewing - Fuck knows, maybe big guns?

I dunno, one of the things about the Dark Angels was they could fight in so many different ways, they were more versatile than any other legion. It would fit for them to have more rites of war than any other as a result.

It's because they were the first legion crusading. If there was a problem that needed bikers you couldn't call the White Scars because the White Scars weren't crusading yet, so the Dark Angels had to be able to do lightning bike warfare. If you had a problem that needed scorched earth tactics you couldn't call the Death Guard because they weren't crusading yet either, so the Dark Angels had to be able to do that too. And so on. Pretty much every specialisation that a legion has, the Dark Angels had to be able to do, because there wasn't anyone else.
>>
>>48145156
The top right is a Cron Scarab. I mean look at the legs of Scoria's little friend and the bigger Scarabs. Our boy Scoria's has three legs, the Cron one have four legs each. Also compare the sizes and bodies.
>>
>>48144599
This. Everyone is clearly getting the same number of rites. What kinds of rites, generic or legion specific would people like to see? I would like to see some sort of tactical company that supports taking a very generic sort of list centered on tactical squads, support squads, and heavy weapon squads. Something like

>Every unit gains stubborn if it is within 6" of the same type of unit (eg. if 2 tactical squads are within 6" of each other they each gain stubborn)
>Tactical squads can reroll run and charge distances
>Special weapons squads can choose to get rerolls to hit vs infantry or tank hunters
>Heavy weapons squads can choose to get rerolls to hit vs infantry or tank hunters

>May only take tactical squads as a mandatory troop choice
>For every infantry unit that isn't a special weapon squad, tactical squad, or heavy weapons squad you must have two of the aforementioned units in some combination (eg. 2 vet squads, 3 tac squads, and 2 heavy weapon squads is fine, 3 vet squads, 3 tac squads, and 2 heavy weapon squads isn't)
>May not take more non-transport vehicles than you have infantry squads (so if you have 6 infantry squads you can't have 7 dreadnoughts)
>>
>>48145065
>Deathwing - Vets/Termies (pride of the legion)
>Ironwing - Tonks (we have this already)
>Ravenwing - Bikes (we have this already)

>>48145204
Gib Destroyer rite

>>48145204
You think Deathwing will just be the generic PotL, maybe with unique termies/vets?
>>
>>48145065
I think the Firewing has been described already.
>>
>>48145260
Pretty much, terminators as troops including legion special terminators that are in the elites slot. Unless you can honestly think of another 4 rites for every legion. Why does everyone think their legion is so special that they deserve so much more shit? At most I can think of one or two more rites for my EC (martial perfection for one and degradation of said martial perfection for the other).
>>
>>48145326
Because the Deathwing was a distinct special formation in 30k, not a terminator-armoured 1st company with some special wargear.
>>
>>48145271
... as what?

It's the only one without a Lexicanum page, that much I know

>>48145326
I could see DAngles getting rites where other legions (especially traitor legions) get new units
>>
>>48145179
>they were more versatile than any other legion
That would be the Ultramarines
>>
>>48145393
I said I think it got described already. Don't hold me to it.

Nice way of writing "Alpha legion"

The Eye of Horus Podcast ran through the old fan theory that the major arcana in a tarot deck align pretty well with the primarchs, including the lost two (at least one of which might have a symbol represented in the Blackshields decal sheet, and it makes it easier to see why Lorgar misses them in The First Heretic). Worth listening to. You can also find correlations online since it's not a new idea, but it fits even better with all the fluff that's come out in the last 5+ years.
>>
>>48145186
I hardly think saying because a scarab is bigger the little guy can't be necron is valid. The necrons had a galaxy spanning empire and we don't know all of their tech. It could be a necron thing, it could be something else, but one image comparison isn't conclusive
>>
>>48145250
SW will be the destroyer legion.
>>
>>48145190
I'd like a raven guard rite based around sneaky snipers. We've got drop pod assault and militia big brothers, I'd like something to represent the RG sneaking up on something and then shooting the weak points, in addition to just running a recon company.

In terms of legion specific wargear, I'd like to get the precursor to the stalker bolter, (given we're seeing the precursors to a lot of 40k tech in 30k,) possibly only available in the ROW above. So something like:

>Any model with a boltgun may exchange it for a Hawk's Eye bolter for +5 points. Copy/paste for combi- versions too.
>Hawk's Eye (stalker) bolter: may be fired either as a normal bolter or a 24" range sniper rifle. Models already with precision shots or rending/equivalent achieve these on a 5 or 6 when firing a stalker bolter as a sniper rifle.
>Any squad may buy camoline for +25 points if minimum sized, or +50 points if additional models have been bought.

>No allies, fortifications, or Lords of War other than Corax
>Nothing may deep strike
>Vehicles begin the game in reserve
>No changes to force organisation. (Not that this is normally stated as a restriction, but just to be clear that you can't have sniper vets in Troops, and you have to decide between vets and mor deythan in Elites.)

My sides.
>>48145444
Eh that's true.
>>
I hate bringing up RAW arguments here but here goes:

If a model is armed with a thunder hammer + a power sword and elects to use the power sword, they receive the +1A because the specialist weapon rule does not apply to them as weapons cannot mix rules, it's all or nothing when choosing melee weapons.

The actual caveat for "the other CCW requires the specialist weapon rule to gain +1A" doesn't actually take effect unless the weapon being wielded has the specialist weapon rule in the first place.

All I'm saying is Dynatt gets 4 power sword attacks
>>
>>48145395


That would be Alpha "we literally have suits of Justaetin armor, red butchers painted turquoise and fucking gal Vorbak at our disposal" Legion
>>
>>48145453
>I'd like a raven guard rite based around sneaky snipers
But they can already sneak around and Rend on 5+!
Maybe a way of bringing Mor Deythan as troops or something. And even then, there's the Recon rite.
>>48145450
>SW will be the destroyer legion
Not the DG? Reee :/
But there's that old Night weapons short story. Maybe all the legions should get the Destroyer rite.
>>
>>48145190
I'd like a WE rite that represents them having gone full Khorne. Makes tactical and assault squads fearless with furious charge, but you can't take more vehicles than infantry or any allies/fortifications. Maybe even the only vehicles you can take are transports and dreads, period. Crimson Path is a nice start, but it feels to me more like a midpoint in the fall or just results of apothecary tinkering from Surlak. Basically make the new knew one Berserker Assault+1 I guess
>>
>>48145521
The 5+ rend is one turn only (unless there's something I've missed?). I'm just not a fan of one shot abilities, especially as those feel like they fit the drop pod assault thing and I was looking for something different.
