Red Book Aftermath Edition
Khorne confirms new Halo game Sub-Edition
We're finally getting over the new Red Book and its effects, don't you wish your Breachers could be good like an assault marine, we discussed the timeline of the HH, it has come to my attention that these summaries have become lackluster as people view tictac marines, Phosphex Achilles sounds rather nice, Anons still want a pdf, and a debate on who was more skilled at arms was had plus much more in the last thread >>48288590

Honestly, between how hard it was for them to even build the demo models and how long it took them to take it from concept to production I kind of doubt they're going to bother with variants. A 700 point LoW can only even see play in a 3k game, so it's not like many people are going to bother buying them.

>I mean, for example, Angel Exterminatus Perty and Red Book Perty seems completely different person.

I disagree, both renditions can be seen as one if you think that Perty is man who is passionate in the extreme, someone whose emotions are skin deep and because of his duty to be always on the meat-grinder have rendered him to a cold calculating tyrant perhaps not because he wants to be but because he needs to be for he fears failure above anything else and pushes himself to such extreme measures because of this.

Well, I brought the auto six relic and one shot a warhound titan first turn.

People got extremely butt hurt. But fuck them, they brought three warhounds and a reaver. And a shit ton of other supers.

Also, an admech fag got triggered that his culexes assassin got killed. You might want to note that he ran his assassin 6 inches in front of the gun itself.

Going by the old fluff, DAs and Wolves landed on Terra during the traitors' retreat and fought them there, most likely Lion and Russ would have boarded the Vengeful Spirit and killed Horus together.

Wouldn't happen. Dude was invested in the crusade, separate from the Emperor's edicts. Even before that, he wouldn't have been a good warmaster, since the job was about being good at your job AND keeping the autismo-supremes in check.

>>48300880
>He alienated each of the traitor Primarchs and undoubtedly played a part in them siding with Horus.
Most of the traitor primarchs sided with Horus because of their own personal hubris. The only one Guilliman personally offended was Alpharius, but EVERYONE other than Horus called him out on being a showboat.

I mean, until the whole Monarchia bullshit, but even then that's more on the Emperor for ordering it than the guy he decided to have do the deed.

No he didn't. He's not responsible for Fulgrim from getting date raped by Horus/eaten by a sword, Morty's lack of confidence, Magnus's obsession with being a wizard, or Angron's Nails. I don't know how Rowboat interacted with Fulgrim, but I'm certain he didn't get Fulgrim raped.

Lorgar and Pert's inferiority complexes aside, EVERYONE alienated Alpharius. Except Horus.

That's why he went traitor.

>>48300987
>Magnus obsession with being a wizard
For some reason, this made me laugh so hard.

>>48301066
Poor Alpharius. He just wanted to show his older brothers how cool he was.
>>
>>48301043
Perturabo was too bitter, paranoid, and fatalistic that he shunned Morty. You know a guy he probably would have gotten extremely well along. Plus Rowbaot personally knew a few of the Iron Warriors that died in the decimation. >>48301087
>For some reason, this made me laugh so hard.

>>48301087

Made me lol too, also reinforced my undying love for the Thousand Sons.
>>
>>48301094
Personally thought the decimation to be pretty reasonable, primarchs get to do what they want to their Legions, rename them, restructure them, implant them with techno barbaric roidrage implants, throw them in paingloves, shrug, whatever the fuck the Primarchs think is best.
>>
>>48301087
>He just wanted to show his older brothers how cool he was.
Could have been less of a cunt about it. Triggering martial hubris on the hordes of alpha legion armies is always a bit of a personal victory.
>>
>>48301107
But Rowboat knew those IW nephews of his personally and that's probably why the decimation bothered him so much. The paingloves are basically timeout corners but you know more glove-like.
>>
Why Emps tell Magnus about the golden throne if he was the one who was supposed to be sitting on it for all eternity
>>
>>48301169
Probably becuase Magnus would have realized that it would have been the shittiest job in the Imperium.
>>
>>48301169
Because just maybe he wasn't until he went full metal Magnus on the Webway? Who was sitting on the Throne before Magnus went full metal Magnus on the Webway? The Emperor. Emps seemed okay to sit on the Throne until the Custodes and the AdMech built the Imperial Webway. If Magnus didn't go full metal Magnus on the Webway would he have to sit on the Throne? I don't think so.
>>
Do the daemon primarchs interact at all or do they mostly just sit on their respective daemonworlds
>>
>>48301169
This is a falsehood. The Emperor's plan was to use the Webway for transport thus eliminating the use of the Warp.

Eliminating use of Warp travel would also invalidate the navigator caste which enjoyed special privilege and power, so the Emperor kept it under wraps so the Navigators wouldn't rebel, which would have been a problem.

And just as a side note:

In Unremembered Empire Guilliman recalls an exact instance where the Emperor straight up told him that the Ruinous Powers of the Warp took up and scattered him and his siblings when they were babies but he didn't believe the Emperor. Maybe the Emperor just decided it wasn't worth explaining it to anyone?

>>48301404
Didn't the fluff said they each in turn cursed it? Don't know why but that means to me that they got in one room and cursed it. None of the Word Bears have heard or seen Lorgar since he took up being a daemonic NEET, so he had to do it before that.

>+1 WS/BS
Marines with an unnatural insight in battle, through what can best be considered instinct they are able to predict the actions of their opponents. They can predict when a target will raise their head from cover and end their life with a single bolt to the eye. In melee combat they can perfectly predict when and where the opponent will parry and strike, allowing them to strike when they have the perfect opening. Outside of battle their borderline precognition combines with paranoia making them quick to flee as they foresee their battle brothers fleeing in battle, units fleeing so easily only reinforces their paranoia in future battles.

Astartes who were turned into literal Chymeriae with the geneseed of two or more legions, often integrating technologies unique to certain legions such as sonic shriekers and the butcher's nails.

So, with the new version of the Armoured Breakthrough RoW it occurred to me that it might actually be an army I could make and play even at low points levels. Here's a concept for a 1000 point starting point:

>HQ
Master of Armour in Sicaran Battle Tank with Lascannons, Dozer Blade [210]

>Troops
6x1 Predator with Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Dozer Blades [6x100]

>Heavy Support
Sicaran Venator [190]

The legion literally doesn't matter, but I'd probably do Iron Hands so I can add Castrmen Orth to it once there's enough points to justify it.

Sicaran Venator probably won't have many legit targets at low point levels, but it's a neat model and it makes sense to have one or two as the army gets larger for blowing up Land Raiders and paralyzing Knights or Super Heavy Tanks.

The big question is this - is running this many tanks at 1000 points a dick move? Predators aren't amazing, but they're not bad in 30k and with Fast they'll be able to move and shoot quite a bit. If someone brought an all-footslogging list they're going to have a really hard time getting side or rear armor with all that speed, and throne help them if their answer to tanks is to assault them.
>>
>>48302615
I do all-footslogging lists. Though, I'd probably be able to put up a good fight since I like to Ride the Ironfire and bring lascannon Havocs.

But then again, at 1k points? I'll have to edit my list and see.

>>48302661
Well, Iron Warriors are less foot-slogging and more trench-digging and ground-thumping, right? That sounds like it would honestly make for an interesting game since the tanks would have to maneuver carefully to hull-down for cover saves and avoid getting shot to pieces.

I'm more worried about what the average B@C box guy with a bunch of sniper vets and a few Contemptors is going to do. Like, the dreddies are the only real answer they could possibly have, and they're never going to actually get into range. Considering how common that kind of list is in starter-level HH games it worries me that an Armoured Breakthrough list would be discouragingly strong against other small lists.
>>
>>48302615
>The legion literally doesn't matter
Could take Iron hands for blessed autosimulcra. Also please don't do this, it is a really shitty thing to do. If you like tanks just take a lot of them.
>Sicaran Venator
>Sicaran Battle Tank
>2 Predators
>Some guys in transports

I would only suggest breakthrough at very high point levels where you might have run out of heavy support slots if you like tanks. Even then I would make sure to take some vets and maybe some seekers so it isn't too awful to face. So something like
4x Predators
1x Sicaran
3x Venator
4x Vet squads in rhinos
3x Seeker squads in rhinos

Just remembered what the ADL was. Also just finished downloading a pdf of the book with all the fortifications in it.

Anyways, Icarus Lascannon, or Quad-Gun? Both seem pretty useful.

Also, how would you represent tanglewire? Tank traps could be easy with larger pieces of sprue made to look like Czezh Hedgehogs (pic related), unsure about barricades though.

Not realy. It's still mediocre, and while it might be viable when spammed, the same can be said of anything with AV/high T. I would rather field a drill/claw Leviathan than a Malcador.

I suppose so, makes sense. Just need to figure out how to make 6" long minefields.

For a second there I forgot how a D4 looked like. Dragon's teeth?

>Aegis line pieces. Though harder to use with an aegis line.
True enough.

Also, just realized that the rules for the Aegis Line is that only two pieces need to touch bases, which means I could have two there, two here, etc. this pleases me.

>Just need to figure out how to make 6" long minefields.

Buy some biker bases. They're 75mm long, so technically 3 inches. Two of them gets you the 6" per tanglewire. Buy some miniature mines (such as http://roleplayupkit.com/en/terrain/107-add-ons-14.html). Put mines on bases. Flock. I made some future mines by taking space SM backpacks, cutting off the bottom piece, taking two of them and gluing them end to end. Like pic related.

>only two pieces need to touch bases

I'm pretty sure it was clarified that all the pieces need to be in a single line. So no, you can't use pieces of the line to fortify several key locations, they all need to be placed in the same place, touching each other in a single string.

>>48304202
As far as I remember, 6e rulebook FAQ. It was a big discussion back in the day whether or not they can be placed down across the board in pairs, but then the ruling was that no, they have to be in a single line.

Of course it's an old ruling they didn't bother to carry over to current edition, but just because GW doesn't give two shits doesn't mean we can't.

>quite annoying

Why? Because you can't fortify all the strategic points on the map with a single 50pts. fortification? If you want walls that aren't touching, buy the barricades, they just need to be 6" away from the fortification you bought them for.

I bought an aegis line and an imperial bunker, put the quad gun on the bunker and made little firing positions from the aegis line that I place around the bunker.

No, it's because I wanted the freedom to assemble them any way I wanted, instead of having to line them all up.

However, I do find it a bit odd that it wasn't included in Stronghold Assault's 7e Update.

Meant Imperial Strongpoint, not Stronghold Assault.

Anyways, that requires 1-3 Bastions and 1-5 ADLs.
>>
>>48304466
Bastions are pretty good.
>>
>>48304494
Bunker is better. It's basically a bastion, but smaller, cheaper and has 8 fire points in the same direction. Best you can do with a bastion is 4 on two of the facings while the rest have 2.
>>
>>48304494
They seem like they are, I'm just annoyed and tired right now. I was thinking of getting one ADL and splitting it up along my deployment zone and making it look like deployed cover everywhere. A shame that you can't just take multiples of them without the alternate FOCs or taking a Bastion as well.

>Of course it's an old ruling they didn't bother to carry over to current edition, but just because GW doesn't give two shits doesn't mean we can't.
This right here makes me feel that it was intentional, seeing as how it wasn't in the 6e brb, nor Stronghold Assault, nor Stronghold Assaults 7e update. I've also heard people say that since it wasn't included in the update that makes the ruling mean nothing.

There's a recipe for making these sorts of calls that works for any fictional setting, and for that matter any system, hypothesis or body of work. Measure the samples along these three different lines:

1) Formality/Explicitness. The work of fiction/concept states its premises and doesn't rely on vaguery/asspulls.
2) Consistency/Non-Contradiction. The work of fiction.concept doesn't double back on itself.
3) Completeness/Universality. The work of fiction/concept accounts for all circumstances, and doesn't "break" when you step outside its comfort zone.

Works that accomplish more of these things can be considered superior to another. Few will ever nail more than two of them, and complicated works will have sub-components that focus on just one or two at a time.

In this instance, Black Library generally gets the last of those points, but totally gimps it on the second and is mixed on the first. Forge World does an excellent job of the first and a decent job on the second, only lagging on the third due to its rules-intensive approach and constant need for revisions (effectively a trade-off of consistency for more completion). Ergo, Forge World is the more powerful or compelling canon, or is at least the more *likely* for any one sample. Eg/ you could compare the handling of each Primarch by Forge World and Black Library respectively, and generally find the FW depiction better than the BL one.

In fluff, they fill a different roll (siege units vs general pattern 'ard nuts + boarding actions),

on the TT, they lack an invun, are hard to get into CC in numbers (V. bulky + lack of ded. trans), and are much more costly. of course in exchange they get way better weapons, 2 wounds and s/t 5, so its ups and downs. If grav cents weren't a thing, then they would overshadow terminator a lot less

>Bombardment
Not entirely sure how this works. I assume you want him to be able to shoot his Harpoon without LoS? But it isn't a blast weapon, it's short ranged and it would interfere with the dragging effect.

Would the Relentless rule granted by SotSK override Slow and Purposeful for units like Cataphractii? It'd be cool if you could 2+/4++ units outflanking and running into position.

My idea was pretty much the same, extreme calculation abilities but the process drives them extremely paranoid. Think of it a bit like Perturabo's ability on steroids, they are so good at predicting outcomes a brand new astartes can match a Palatine Blade or Justaerin in terms of skill with regular veterans matching praetors. However just like Perturabo is paranoid they are much more paranoid than him, if they see even the slightest hint of betrayal or flight they will react "in preparation" meaning most of them flee preemptively to avoid being abandoned. Seeing their unit constantly break over light casualties simply reinforces their paranoia.

I can agree wit the sentiment regarding Black Library's characterisations, which are sloppy and all over the board, and I can accept criticism of Forge World's characterisations as highly limited (there is a heavy bias towards depicting each as methodological geniuses who are sometimes difficult but can apply anything to any task, which is generic and boring to use for every character). However, Forge World at the end of the day puts page after page into characterising the Legions. Individuals are never meant to be the focus of FW productions, and the amount paid in stories following character and Primarch plotlines is still substantial. Black Library exists for the sake of story, so of course it is central to it. Looking back over this post, I'm not sure how much was necessary, but it can't hurt as a way to clear things up. Black Library is the less professional outfit and lets egotism get to its contributors far more that Forge World.

>>48307862
You're right, the rule is called Bombardment. Mea culpa, that's pretty interesting.

>>48308007

>Having lived amongst eldar his entire life, he undergoes severe culture shock. Finds most humans as disgusting and beneath him.
>Puts up a front of compliance. Trains with his legion, talks with the emperor and Horus (Who treats him like a little brother, as he is overjoyed to have found one of his own)
>One night, Valak-hai sneaks into Horus's quarters with the intent to act on the prophecy by killing him
>Horus wakes up and manages to fight him off and subdue him. Horus, unwilling to condemn the first of his own brothers to be found, doesnt tell the Emperor what happened, but he never looks at Valak-hai the same again. Chalks the entire episode up to poor adjustment due to culture shock.


Thats all Ive got so far. Hard to write since I dont like Eldar very much. He probably tries to kill Horus again later. Im thinking a 3 way operation between the Luna Wolves, Star Krakens, and Space Wolves. They have to force an eldar settlement off a human world. It goes tits up somehow and Valak-hai tries to kill Horus but gets fucked up by Russ. He escapes with a small bit of his most loyal legionaries , they become blackshields, and the rest of his legion, feeling betrayed by their primarch, are taken in by the Ultras.

I was working towards the following Cybernetica list, but some of those changes in the new red book kind of scare me.

2k (1985)

++HQ++
Scoria, 315
- Abeyant

Homonculex, 175

++Troops++
Thralls, 80
15, pure thoughts, carapace

Thralls, 80
15, pure thoughts, carapace

Castellax, 260
2, targeting arrays, flamers, frags

Castellax, 260
2, targeting arrays, flamers, frags

++Fast Attack++
Vorax, 225
3, frags

++Heavy Support++
Thanatar Cynis, 290
Targeting array

Krios Tank Squad, 300
2, Pulsar-Fusils

I'm starting to feel like there's way too many things that can fuck me over.
>>
>>48309051
Removed as casualty is not the same as "dead". Also, it's the far future, it's quite likely not just a spool of steel wire with sharp bits. It could be electrified, poisoned, maybe even some smart metal that could, when messed with, contract or spring into a different formation, entangling who ever was moving through it, effectively taking them out of the fight.
>>
>>48309051
I'd imagine the main issue is the wire wrapping around joints and basically causing a mobility kill - the marine is ok but won't be in this fight.
>>
>>48309051
Could have a power field generator sort of like in power weapons.
>>
Ok it's been a while since I played 40k and had to read unit stats - vets have 2 attacks, but also have pistol and chainsword, so do they get 3 attacks? If so why wouldn't I use them rather than assault marines?
>>
>>48309104
>Scoria
Seriously though, an okayish list. I can see you like Thralls, not my cup of tea but good for scratching their robo-balls on objectives. Personally I would drop the Homonculex (Stick Scoria in the Vorax or Castellax if you are worried about him Fuck knows why, fucker takes down Primarchs for a laugh and use the points to buy the superior plasma mortar rape monster Cynis fags go and stay go
>>
>>48309223
>so do they get 3 attacks?
yes
>If so why wouldn't I use them rather than assault marines?
because assault marines have jump packs

Thank you so much for rationalising that

Someone replying to a list... and being helpful? Is it the End Times?

I'm not a huge fan of thralls in particular, but they are cheap, they score, and can surprise people. The alternative for scoring would be Thallax... and I'm not really sure they do better.

And I guess you mean the basic Thanatar right? That one is actually cheaper in the first place.

I could drop Homy to get one extra castellax and vorax.
>>
>>48309407
Yeah, whilst having 2 shots with the Cynis sounds nice, they are small blasts and never underestimate how 'Get's hot' can fuck you up. Thanatar as you said is cheaper and will fuck any non-vehicle you aim it at.

Got to admit, I'm a Thallax man, but sitting them on objectives is a waste so I can see your reasoning.
>>
>look at Blackshield Marauders again
>they have a chainaxe base
>4 attacks on charge
>now get apothecaries
Wew
>>
>>48300025
They're also 120 years apart from one another.
>>
>>48309477
How do you use your Thallax? I do like their models a lot. I'd keep one blob of thralls to either wrap around the thanatar or krios, or keep the home objective warm, and try to make space for a thallax unit.

Also I noticed I fucked up my castellax, it's 5 points PER flamer, not 5 to switch both.

List currently looks like...

2k (1985)

Scoria, 315
Abeyant


Thralls, 80
15, pure thoughts, carapace

Thralls, 80
15, pure thoughts, carapace

Castellax, 375
3, targeting arrays, frag grenades

Castellax, 375
2, 4x flamers, targeting arrays, frag grenades

Vorax, 300
4, frag grenades


Thanatar, 265
Targeting array

Krios Squad, 300
2, Pulsar-Fusils
>>
>>48309626
Oops, second castellax unit is just 270 actually, total points still correct.
>>
>>48309478

Even though +1 Str/T is the fan favorite, I will always have a special place in my heart for rage/fear/fleet, even if it is just slightly shittier WE rules with slightly better troops and no RoW

What about missions that require you to get to the enemy deployment zone to score? Is the game plan just to kill more stuff than they do and keep them out of your own deployment zone? The list has basically zero mobility in general.

Now that Castellax never score it's something you have to really keep in mind whenever you build an LC list. Getting your scoring unit to the place they need to be in order to score is their #1 problem.
>>
>>48309104
I would drop carapace for either more bodies or FnP, since Thralls should almost always be hiding in cover anyway IMO. My main issue is your lack of scoring, any half decent opponent could see how weak your scoring units are and wipe them out by turn 3. I would suggest either more and larger thrall blobs or something more survivable like thallax or the semi-robot dudes with rad furnaces for objective holding.
>>
>>48309626
They make nice "Fucking panic" instigators, medium toughness, good mobility and good guns are too dangerous to ignore despite the more dangerous stuff you have in the backfield.
>>
/HHG/, why are legion falchions so cool?
>>
>>48299601

Does anybody know of a company that makes alternative heads that fit on marine bodies that have an exposed brain, preferably with the mouth covered by some kind of muzzle
>>
>>48309791
I like them having fleet DESU
>20 assault marines with 5 power swords total alongside an apothecary with a power sword
>2D6 charge range can reroll one or both dice
>If enemy fails fear test they are lowered to WS 1 (hit them on 3+ get hit on 5+)

>21 hammer of wrath hits
>60 str 4 attacks
>25 str 4 AP 3 attacks
>>
>>48309626
>How do you use your Thallax?
Shock troops. Big unit of 9 with heavy chainswords and rending. Fucking expensive but can wreck vehicles thanks to rending and can rip apart marines thanks to high strength and rending. Throw in a magos with rad grenades and a jetpack and ID marines for added fun.

Say, they can still use all their melta bombs in melee, right?
Will FW some day say "ignore GW's FAQs. Yeah we are the same, yet they seem bent on fucking up our rules. That's our own job already"

I think not.
Baneposting crashed a plane with meme magic, what have you done with your life except disappoint your parents?

But we havent had baneposting in a long while. Hell, I think it was hotpocketed once.

This be some Tzeenchian stuff

/tg/ is pretty insular in that it doesn't use much of the other board memes, just it's own. But Baneposting is rampant from /pol/ to /a/.

>>48310632
Ooh, ok I see. Given how I'll soon take a plane and I don't want to anger the god of no survivors I'll drop the issue

A lot of my friends play at the "meme" point level at 1850 in my area because of the Bay Area Open. I came up with this IF Armored Breakthrough list using the new red book, let me know what you guys think...it's a bit on the strong side for 30k, but it'll definitely be an underdog against the 40k lists at my store. Just wanna get a game in soon after I'm done repainting my dudes.

Imperial Fists - 1845

HQ
Sigismund, Armored Breakthrough RoW - 230

Elite
10 x Veteran Tacticals, Marksmen, Vexilla, 2 x Heavy Bolters, Sgt with AA + Fist, Rhino - 270

10 x Veteran Tacticals, Marksmen, Vexilla, 2 x Heavy Bolters, Sgt with AA + Fist, Rhino - 270

Troops
1 x Predator Tank, Heavy Bolter Sponsons - 95

1 x Predator Tank, Heavy Bolter Sponsons - 95

5 x Templar Brethren, 5 Combat Shields, Sgt with Power Fist, Land Raider Phobos - 430

Heavy Support
1 x Vindicator, Dozer Blades - 125

Lord of War
1 x Knight Gallant, Melta Gun - 330

Kek. Omnissiah preserve us.

>>48310900
Cant have a LoW at under 2000pts, if your group allows it the go for it but strictly speaking its an illegal list.

Sigi is nice but in a mostly shooty list its a waste of his talents in my opinion, you're better off with either a Sicaran HQ or Polux plus something good to deep strike like a Melta squad or something because as it stands now 660pts for a 6 man unit is all kinds of wasteful and stupid.
>>
>>48311038
oh damn I fucked up, I thought it was that you couldn't have one that's more than 20 or 25% of your total points. and yeah I'm looking into buying a Sicaran as an HQ but I'm worried I'll fuck up building it. Never built a resin vehicle before.

Are Skitarii a thing in 30k? Could I reasonably play them or the combined Skitarii/Cult Mechanicus/Knight lists in 30k?
