In the last bread we talked about special units for the legions we haven't seen yet and podcasts and finished the questions on why some of the Primarchs look too old, we discussed the lifespans of marines, the Minotaurs, and ways to improve 40k chapter relations, Mortarion's status as the jobber of the Primarchs was mentioned, and get ready for them and much more in the last thread >>48264768

Can praetors still take both a paragon blade and a power fist at once in artificer armour?

I dont think so, their bodies would still need to grow into adulthood. Becoming a marine doesnt instantly make your body into a 25 year old superman, it takes puberty and growth so the end result of that is a superman.

It just means you can take any 18-30 yr old and turn them into marines in 2 years.

Predator Strike Armour Squadron
* Executioner plasma destroyer is +20 points on old price.

- if they all shoot at a single target within 24", they gain Tank Hunter and Monster Hunter.

Land Raider Battle Squadron
* Phobos is -25 points.
* Proteus is -20 points.
* Achilles has frag & shatter shells, and can purchase the other new types (including phosphex if Siege Breaker is present).
* Proteus can take a hull-mounted twin-linked lascannon!
* if you take 3, one of them can be a Squadron Command Tank (see Predator notes).

Achilles-Alpha Land Raider

Legion Artillery Tank Squadron

FW, please. I just want to take Breachers in my IW lists, but now it seems like massed Tacs and Pride lists are what I'm going to have to go for since Vets are better now and I don't really care for Assault Marines.
>>
Haven't played a game since April, wondering how my usual list would fare with the recent FAQs and state of the game. Lower Pound means can make a FW purchase again soon too.

Word Bearers 2500

HQ-310
175: Zardu Layak
135: Legion Centurion-Chaplain, Artificer Armour, Retractor Field, Burning Lore

ELITES-550
95: Apothecary x2, Augury Scanner x1
60: Legion Rapier Weapons Battery x1, Quad Mortar x1
395 Gal Vorbak x10 (+5), Power Mace 1x, Power Axe 1x, Martyr with Artificer Armour and Power Fist

TROOPS-965
315: Legion Tactical Squad 20x (+10), 20x +1CCW, Sergeant with Power Fist and Artificer Armour
315: Legion Tactical Squad 20x (+10), 20x +1CCW, Sergeant with Power Fist and Artificer Armour
335: Ashen Circle 10x (+5), Power Axe 2x, Iconoclast with Artificer Armour, Phosphex Bomb 1x, Melta Bomb 1x, Dark Channeling

HEAVY SUPPORT-675
175: Legion Sicaran Battle Tank, Sponson Lascannons
155: Legion Artillery - Medusa
345: Legion Spartan Assault Tank, Armoured Ceramite, Flare Shield, Dozer Blade

Apothecary goes in each Legion Tactical Squad, and Zardu joins one. Zardu sits back and summons Tzeentch Horrors or supports the Gal Vorbak, Chaplain is psychic support too. The Chaplain joins the Gal Vorbak in the Spartan to create a hard-hitting unit. Ashen Circle will target backfield units or blobs, and potentially tank-hunt. Sicaran will serve as a tank hunter, as well as emergency AA; my Meta doesn't run any flyers at the moment. Medusa will target Deathstars and potentially tanks while the sole Quad Mortar will go for primarily stationary units.

As a non-native English speaker there may be some subtle grammatical rule I've missed out on, but without a comma to split up that sentence it really seems to be able to be interpreted both ways.

It's bolter and augury scanner, there's been rulings made before regarding things like this.

>>48283512
You infiltrate the terror squads and drop pod anything else like a 10 man meltagun squad.
>>
>>48281970
Looks like they changed Armoured Breakthrough so that you don't even need to take a Master of the Legion - your tank commander automatically has it. He also doesn't have to be the warlord, so you can take someone else (like Castrmen Orth) as the warlord if you want, but you only get the +1 BS for him if he is the warlord as it's the automatic warlord trait for the Master of Armour.

Funky. I like it. Definitely makes it a lot easier to build a list out of it without taking a primarch. With the Sicaran Battle Tank point cost increase it doesn't even seem that cheesy anymore.

Made a mock-up with an already built calthinator. Doesn't look too small to me. Would just have to glue the shields onto the back of power fists and give them right handed power axes instead of combi bolters

And do you have a link to those rulings?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to have something definite to to remove the ambiguity.
Now that Tactical Support Squads can take additional CCWs I'd like to give their Sergeant a Power Fist, and if he also gets an Augury Scanner I have an idea for a cool model for him, which is why I'd like to have proof one way or another before I glue anything together.

Use to have some Tartaros terminators with those shields. Although I had the shields on the "wrong" side for the power fists.
>>
>>48283851
Oh, no that's now what I meant more like how on the upgrade chests and their reaver squads and other things where the Eye is one of their 3d details, I'd want to know how to paint it. I'm pretty sure they're older than the citadel gem paints, so I was wondering.

Also, why do the SoH have so much variation in their shoulder pads? All of the different armor marks have different ones, and they even have 2 for mk4?

>>48283872
Thanks, anon.
>>
>>48283904
Damn that looks badass. Yeah Power Fists would be better but I've got a bunch of unused power axes so I might as well use them. Tartaros is so sexy though...

All Dreadnoughts get Extra Armour for 5pts instead of 10pts.
Boxnoughts get HK Missiles for 5pts instead of 10pts.
Eggnoughts can now take TL Culverin for 15 instead of non-TL Culverin for 10.

That's it for 'noughts. Amazing buffs, definitely top tier units now.
>>
>>48283900
what if they have more than three or four tanks

might want to get some melta bombs in there just to be on the safe side
>>
>>48284019
was the buff to their number of attacks not new? I guess I must have missed that part of the FAQ. everything is base 3 attacks, 4 attacks if they have two CCWs. still less than what 40k dreaddies have, but not bad.

sadly fury of the ancients RoW is still garbage and gives a free VP for every dreadnought destroyed.
>>
>>48284052
Yeah, that was part of the FAQ. Now that I look at it, the TL Culverin option was in the FAQ aswell, so only cheaper EA and HKM.
>>
>>48284012
thats actually cheaper than i thought it would be
>>
Tactical Support Rotor Cannons are now FREE!!!
... But Volkite Chargers are also free now, so Rotor Cannons are still a questionable choice.
>>
>>48284152
>But Volkite Chargers are also free now
Somewhat takes the cool factor away from some of the other legions that had special units they could take as troops with chargers. Oh well, they're still not compulsory.
>>
What epub reader do you guys use on android? its fucking up for me on like 6 ive down loaded
>>
Rhinos also get HKM and EA for 5pts instead of 10, so it's probably a faction-wide discount.

More importantly, Rhinos can now take a Multi-Melta for 15pts (and less importantly, Combi-Weapon is 5pts instead of 10).
>>
i think that even with the points drop land raiders are still shitty, and all the points increase to spartan did is make kharybdis the obvious default choice.

im sure its just a coincidence that the kharydbis costs the most actual money than the other options..
>>
>>48284243
Sicaran Battle Tanks can take pintle-mounted weapons now as well. Did they release a new upgrade pack for vehicle pintle mounted weapons or something? The changes seem really uniform to be able to put them on damn near everything now.

Pintle MMs on SBTs might not be a bad idea, honestly. Fast only lets you shoot two guns at full BS, not three, so it's cheaper than buying two lascannons that you can't fire unless you sit still. It's also cheaper and now that they're 30 points more expensive keeping them cheap seems important.

You can buy a hull-mounted twin-linked lascannon for the LR Proteus now - that has to be new, right? With the cheaper points cost that's a pretty sick way to make a triple TL LC LR.

I could go for 2kpts by changing the Delegatus for a Sicaran but Im not sure, otherwise thats the project of which Im halfway done and only need one more Predator and 2 more Rhinos.

Here's a list of a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet

Primaris-Lightning:
Sunfury missiles from 15 to 25
Kraken missiles from 25 to 35
Electromagnetic storm charges from 20 to 10

Tarantulas from 30 per gun to 35
Forward deployment now costs 5ppm

Malcador in Heavy Support, from 300 to 275
Squadron of 1-3
Always Space Marine Crew
A lot of rejiggering on the weapons and points, can't be arsed to write everything out
When rolling on the Thunderblitz and/or Catastrophic Damage tables for the Malcador, roll 2D6 and select the lower result.

Optional Thallax and Castellax still in, now also Vorax

Orbital Assault allows Dreadnoughts to take Dreadclaws/Drop Pods while still being Talons, and they have to try to land within unit coherency but then act independently
Angel's Wrath gives Strafing Run to Storm Eagles and Fire Raptors
Losing all Veterans/Terminators in PotL now gives up 2 VPs
New RoWs from book 6 are in, including Legion-specific ones (not expecting any changes, can't be arsed to check)

Laser Destroyer is still 36", not 48" like in the Solar Auxilia book

The advertisements on the last pages try to sell you the old Legiones Astartes red book, as well as the new Legiones Astartes red book (which you're currently reading). Now that's some quality.
>>
For anyone that may have missed it: Marines, just like Auxilia, can have a Knight or two as their LoW.
>>
>>48284871
cerastus too?
>>
>>48284892
Any Knight from the questoris list, they lose the questoris ranks.
>>
Would a list comprised of fortifications and artillery/immobile heavy weaponry be viable?
>>
>>48284907
I'm looking at the rule right now, where are you getting the 'lose their ranks' part from?
>>
>>48284854
>Angel's Wrath gives Strafing Run to Storm Eagles and Fire Raptors
Wait, Fire Raptors had strafing run already, though? Did they lose it?
>>
oh hey, servo automata can take missile launchers with rad missiles now, and rotor cannons are only 5 points each.
>>
>>48284963
I think he just means that you don't take them as you would in a questoris knights list where they occupy FOC slots for added cost and special rules. You can take any knight that would be allowed in that list, but they're just a normal LoW with no additional rules.
>>
>>48284910
Probably. Sounds pretty fluffy for IW.
>>
>>48285006
Nope, Fire Raptors still have Strafing Run. Quality FW rules writing.

Similarly, Terminators can now take a Deathclaw as a dedicated transport. I wonder if Karl Franz comes with it?

Any of the ones from 40k. Also the Primus Redoubt from FW.

To be fair the Questoris Knights list is still amazing, and a Seneschal Lancer is a motherfucker. Taking them as your primary with just the three Cerastus Knights with an allied detachment of Solar Auxlia for scoring is a legit as fuck list.
>>
>>48285166
The Aquila Strongpoint is now a Lord of War choice so you can have one of those and then another fortification in an Age of Darkness FoC, like that plus a Vengeance battery for example.

>tfw Breachers end up costing more than before when you take them in blobs.
Why though? Just, why?

Cool that Assault Marines got buffed, I guess, and tacticals really are taxticals now. Veterans and Seeker Squads got super buffed, which is cool.

And I still can't really decide my legion. At first it was Word Bearers, but then I just didn't feel like them, then it was SoH, but then I realized I couldn't find anything I really like about them other than their color scheme and LA rules, and now it's IW, though other than fluff and unique units, I can't find much else to like.

I dunno mate, not sure yet.

>What army do you in 40k if you play 40k?
I was thinking about starting Imperial Guard, though I'm more interested in 30k once I found out about it.

>What tactics do you like?
I'm not really sure. Tanks sound like fun, but so do Veterans and Artillery. Infantry always sounds like a good idea, though I don't really care for assault marines though.
>>
>>48285446
>>48285496

>>48285310
true. I love the questoris knight rules. arbalesters make me so aroused.
>>
Wait, if Chainaxes give +1 S now, wouldn't that mean Blackshield Marauders are better now, since they come stock with them?
>>
>>48281560
It's not the same thing when my Death Guard got +1S for Power Axes and +1S for Furious Charge for S6 total, plus Rad Grenades meaning they got AP2 S6 vs T3 2+-to-wound Instant Death.

They used to be my go-to for unexpectedly fucking up legion elite units (even if they themselves got fucked up in the process). Now they have to be reworked entirely (and since Deathshroud got Reaping Blow, I might as well use them as elite-counters and just use the veterans for something else altogether - or more likely, not bother at all.)
>>
>>48285636
yeah it means with the +1S+1T chimera they go to s6.

also helps out SoH reavers

>>48285650
The weirdest thing about the changes to Veteran Tactics is that the most common choice - Sniper - actually got better (they now also have outflank for free) while everything else got worse.

>>
>>48285767
the weirdest thing is that the venator can take an ADDITIONAL pintle, despite not having a hatch to put it on.
