For a bunch of mooks who bitch about boring Tau players you don't have a lot to say.

Has anyone attempted to give the Kataphron Battle Servitors legs?

the top half looks pretty cool, but the tank tracks look so stupid to me.

Does anyone have pictures of conversions of them with legs for inspiration?

>>43546137
Your roommate is an asshole.

>>43546178
You want fun? Okay. Deepstrike everything that can deepstrike, deep. Run a Tau tank column with a couple Devilfish and the Hammerhead. Run a max drone list, having them take the gunline role FWs normally do, and have your Pathfinders cap points while your FWs defend them. Run tektikcool FWs, in minimal squads with attached Fireblades and max special weapons.

There are options. Get imagining, anon.

Aww, but I like the tank tracks. The conversions I've seen got rid of the bodies, and used Infiltrator heads to give them a Fallout-esque robobrain old-sci-fi feel, which was very cool.

Do this. Maybe take Eradicators and Exterminators for stubborn units.

does a militarum tempestus platoon coming from reserves do a single reserve roll for the platoon, or is it per-squad?

>>43546397
To be honest, not really. Wounding on 3+ is common enough anyway, so you're not in huge danger, and you have access to AP3, aka the thing that fucks the dudes packing the grav-guns.

Just run a fun-sounding list. Your Warriors and Flayed Ones will barely notice.

>>43546302
>as an IG player, what's a good basis for a 'takes all comers' list if i'm going against specifically tyranids?
Large Blasts, preferably S8 to instant kill heavy infantry and it wounds everything on 2+

>>43546419
sorry to nitpick, in the rulebook it says 'roll for each unit coming from reserves.' the IG codex doesnt specifically say anything about platoons and reserves, so wouldnt it be per squad?

>>43546618
A platoon is a unit.

>>43546637
sorry again, i see a platoon counts as a 'troops choice' but it isnt synonymous with a 'unit'. I see it as a platoon is a troops choice made up of multiple units. the guy I play with is a rules lawyer so i need to have something to actually cite.

>>43546809
If the codex entry is a platoon, then a platoon is a unit, surely?

>>43546883
a platoon is multiple units

>>43546883
No. A platoon occupies a single troops slot, but is composed of multiple independent units, the squads. So to answer the original question, there's no specific words to say whether you roll for the platoon or for each squad, but it's the latter, because they're not a single unit.

>>43546357
>crisis suit legs
Interdasting prospect.

Would also be quite cheap as I could just nab some off a Bitz website.

Can I play Stormtroopers as their own army and not suck massively?

Obviously would have to ally guard for tank support.

>>43546809
>>43546618
>>43546368
The confusion may be because there's formations in the militarum tempestus codex that involve them all coming in from reserves on a single roll. I think if taken in a CAD, or a platoon as an elites choice in the astra militarum book, they come in separately (aside from squads coming in with any transports they're embarked in, of course).

You could also cite the thing about a squad and its dedicated transport being separate units, and thus being able to both get objective secured (if the squad was troops) and capture different objectives, even though both came from the same "troops choice" during list building.

>>43547140
they're great allies for a knight list

>>43547045
Rule always used to be the exact opposite of that, a platoon is treated as one unit for force org and reserves. When did they change that?

>>43547188
Wait, are we talking about the Guad dex or the MT dex?

>>43547307
Aren't the platoon rules exactly the same in both of them?

>>43547321
MT codex doesn't have platoon rules, does it? It'd be pretty redundant anyway.

>>43547140
if you use the MT codex you kind of can

you need to be very careful how you use your fast attack choices

orders will make or break your game

>>43547321
Not sure. Guard's what I was looking at, and there's no mention of reserves being different than for any other unit that I can see. Something that does allow mass arrivals sounds like it would be in the spirit of the MT dex, so it might be different.

>>43547140

Why I think it would be just fine.

>>43547452
They already exist in a very small quantity, namely on the Techprieast Dominus, and i think some baneblade or macharius variant.

>>43547452
Even if they were imbalanced it would be a drop in the water compared to what else is in the game.

So i plan to make a space marine force, with a heavy Byzantine/Ottoman theme going on.
I plan to convert some devastators to hold massive arquebuses or handcannons.

My quandery is wether i should use them as holding lascannons or plasma cannons ?

My uncle James Workshop tells me that CSM will get it in their next codex.

I am totally new to this so forgive me. Okay so I want to have these units so far in my planned Chaos Tzeetnch army (1350/2000 points). Where should I go from here? Should I remove the Heralds cuz I have no intention of building the Cheese builds and apparently they are there to mass summon Screamers and Horrors only? How many Rubrics should I put in? Are Obliterators preferred to Termis? Is it even worth putting in CSM members cuz I want a Thousand Sons army basically, or is that completely outside the scope of a winnable army?

Hmm. Lascannons are too long-range, Plasma is too ordnance-ey.

I would say lascannons, just because an arquebus-type weapon does not say "3" blast" to me.

Phil Kelly wrote about Farsight and Shadowsun having sexual relations as students.

>>43547660
That would be so funny if CSM got martian rayguns when mechanicus don't

>>43547536
They are generally High S low AP weapons that cause an extra hit for each unsaved wound they cause.

They are pretty much the bane of anything without armour and are pretty cheap special weapons.

>>43547761
Well, they're Tau, so it's not as if they enjoyed it.

>>43547722
You are probably right.
I'll probably keep the ordnance-ey stuff to the thunderfire cannons.

Second question.
I know power lances are considered pretty crap, but are they atleast okay-tier on bikes ?

>>43547776
>martian rayguns
Well, you have to remember that the warp is a funny place and these weapons could be the very same ones from the HH time period. While ones from that time in the IoM could have fallen to dusk long ago.

>>43547943
Bikes with H&R and death company are the only places where power lances find their use.

>>43547943
They're actually really-not-that-bad tier, but swords are good for marines, axes are good for Termies and MCs, and the much-overlooked mauls smash GEQ and stun TEQ.

They're not substantially worse than a sword unless you're trying to defend, in which case they pretty much suck (irony!). High-risk, high-reward, but pretty damn usable.

>>43547953
>these weapons could be the very same ones from the HH time period.
They are. Where do you think the Traitor Legions got their power armour and bolters?

>>43547985
Aw bummer since i was planning to use iron hands.

>>43548013
Would adding the +1A banner help making the lances shine alittle more on the charge ?

>>43548076
Yes, but not by addressing the root problem, if you want to call it that.

They _are_ strictly better than swords on the charge, it's just that they're strictly worse when receiving a charge.

>>43548096
So i'll have to bet alot on getting the charge.

Should add alot of excitement to my games then.

Is he too good to take an extra detachment or something?

>>43548278
At least bikes make charging more reliable, and you get that TL bolter spray down beforehand.

>>43548278
It definitely does. I really do enjoy bringing them on my Marines because of it. I had this Vanguard squad that had no defense of any sort, just jumped out of a Stormraven and charged at the enemy, and it was a lot of fun because it was a radical departure from the usual Marine strategy of being as tough and tanky as possible. It made melee actually fun and not a lot of complicated, risky rolling.

With that said, I still like mauls the best, but it can't be denied that the aesthetic of a spear is quite excellent.

>>43548297

>>43548327

Anyway, thanks anon

>>43547438
>Just play Marines, you clearly want to anyway.
I've tried to like marines, but how I want to play them doesn't work.

Their fluff depicts them as being the toughest shit in the universe but on tabletop they are too fragile and expensive and every marine needs special little metal box else they just get smushed to putty.

I might be cool with this if 10 tac marines in a rhino was actually worth anything.

In my opinion they should be more expensive but actually do more. This will never happen though because GW wants to sell models so rules that might mean you don't have to buy as many models are out of the question.

>>43547415
Had my eyes on the Valkyrie formation.

Have you got any experience using it?

And yeah some of the Orders seem pretty good but I don't get how you actually use a lot of them.

Can't each command squad only issue orders to one other squad?

>>43547709
Okay so with this I have planned

Five Rubric Marines + Aspiring Sorc x2 (203 points each)
(Icon of Flame)
(Gift Of Mutation)
(Melta Bomb)

Obliterators x3 (243 points)
(Mark of Tzeentch)
(Veterans Of The Long War)

It all totals up to 1999 points. Is this overall a viable build? Yes I know Rubric Marines aren't competitive but fuck that they are cool as shit.

Wtf is Warhammer 40k Conquest and why is the facebook group for my city huge yet I can not find one for 40k tabletop...

What do I have to do to find a playgroup?

>>43548416
>>43547709
Oh and for the sake of being Tzeentch as fuck am I allowed to skip the Obliterators for Ahriman or is that too many HQs? (DPs are Heavy support and Heralds only count for 1/4 an HQ)

>>43548404
>but on tabletop they are too fragile and expensive
Nigga, I play Skitarii. Don't tell me about "fragile and expensive".

Seriously, though, I can understand that. Scions are actually decent, but they only really shine as an allied force. To answer your points to the other anon:

>Have you got any experience using it?
A little, though it was with allied Inquisition so take it with a grain. It's good. It's way better than Taurox Primes. You can get on the edge of them being reasonably playable with Valkyries, but I just wasn't good enough and got my ass kicked.

>Can't each command squad only issue orders to one other squad?
Yep. You have to take multiple command squads to be effective. That's the tricky thing about Scions, because no other army MUST take multiple HQ units to be usable.

Consider two Command Squads for every three normal ones. You'd need to double up on the Valkyrie formation to do that, but once again, it's pretty good, and with practice you can use them effectively.

>>43547452

I'm not seeing any problem with it so.

No different than any other weapon as far as I'm concerned.

>>43548416
No icon of flame
You don't need melta bombs on the sorcerer

Run your army as a dual CAD
Take sorcerer on a disc, add rubric marines
Add obliterators
Add unit of warp talons with MOT to protect sorcerer, unit of 10 please
Then add daemon CAD
Fateweaver
2x 10 pink horrors
unit of screamers
two units of flamers (since you lack anti infantry)
From there add heralds and other stuff.

Please note your sorcerer cannot join you daemon units, and your daemon units can't join your CSM stuff.

For hilarity's sake, take a herald with the book of true names and use on the warp talons for a cool 2++. Also make your Daemons your primary detachment to get the warp storm every round.

Would be fun to play and play against.

>>43548404
not personally but I've read and watched a lot of battlereports

command squads can be given a lot of special weapons.

you vehicles also have some firepower. They are not just transports. You will need them to do work after dropping off your guys,

Which primarch has the most fangirls?

>>43548564
>you vehicles also have some firepower.
Yeah, forgot to mention this. This is what Tauroxes have over Valkyries: you can put big nasty guns on them. Unfortunately, they're made of glass and those emergency windshield-shattering hammers are strapped to the outside, so do NOT let anything get close if you take them.

Likewise, kit out your Valkyries. Lascannon, Heavy Bolters, wing weapons. The works.

I'm not saying put the lascannon with heavy bolters mind you, just kit them out heavily and appropriately.

>>43548606
Probably Vulkan and Sanguinius.

>>43548510
IIRC Skitarii are 9-10 points each, that's not bad for T3 4+ with 6+ FNP.

>>43548606
I only know two fangirls and they are divided between Angron and Curze

>>43548325
I was like "We're doing a 2k point game you can just take two more troop choices and run two CADs."
"Nah I'll just go unbound."

Lot of good it did him. The dice gods got pissed at his bullshit. Plus I had some bloodbowl level football passing going on with that relic. And to carry on with the metaphor the Stompa is one hell of a defensive lineman

>>43548510
>Nigga, I play Skitarii. Don't tell me about "fragile and expensive".
Skitarii's fluff doesn't depict them as the toughest fucker in the universe though.

Their crunch is actually some of the best in all of 40k as they are fragile but have some of the best weapons around so make up for it.

>Yep. You have to take multiple command squads to be effective. That's the tricky thing about Scions, because no other army MUST take multiple HQ units to be usable.

This does kind of put me off them. Especially as there's no way to bulk up the command squad to make them more durable. I'm basically looking for a way to play Solar Auxilia in 40k whilst I slowly build up my force and figured MT would probably the most simillar force, but they don't seem strong enough.

>>43548747

That's probably about the only thing the regular Stompa is good for.

>>43548473
ahriman is too expensive, go with a generic sorcerer. oblits are alright if expensive and limited

If you wind up with just three, pack fusion. You'll stand a decent chance of popping most vehicles. Otherwise, plasma is painful for most things, but has to be taken in big numbers to really be effective.

>>43549226
He has to be attached to a single squad, but his effects carry over through the whole platoon IIRC. It's been a while since I went against Guard, though.

You play HH and enjoy a better game, that attracts better people. Just beware of Mechanicum players. There is one at our flgs who is a 40k tard to the fullest. All hes been talking about is how he cant wait to get his big Ordinatus gun from china.

Hey guys there doesn't seem to be a 30k thread and with all of the heresy stuff lately I figured it would be OK to ask here.

I am looking to get into 30k. I was going to go Blood Angels or something until I realised that good marine melee still isn't that good. So I noticed Word Bearers (who I read into and ended up ADORING) have battle brother status with daemons. They also seem to have monstrous melee in places.

My question is this: do Word Bearers get to use many daemons? Is there a limited list of daemons that they can use? Since this is 30k, are there any psykers? Could I use a Bloodthirster if I wanted to?

Thanks guys. It would be swell if I could use my daemons in 30k as I love them to bits.

>>43549455
There's no units you should really avoid as such, all tzeentch daemon units are worth bringing. The marine side isn't too great though, but that's mostly due to cost rather than effectiveness. Thousand sons are great but very expensive so only bring as many as you feel you need.

>>43549538

At least you get to ignore yours. Our local shop is the only shop for a few hundred miles or so, and our Mechanicum guy is friends with the owner - we don't play him, he complains and the shop owner says we have to play him or he'll ask us to leave for "not patronising his business." He doesn't care if we buy stuff or not (he supports himself through MTG) but his friendship with That Guy is grating on my ability to enjoy 30k.

You need to kill tanks? 2 fusion blasters and a flamer for overwatch and little stuff. Fusion also works on elite dudes and monsters
You need to kill elite dudes? 2 plasma guns and a flamer for overwatch and little stuff
You need to kill light tanks? 2 missile pods
You running a battlesuit only army? Add in a few with dual burst cannon, maybe flamer.

That's pretty much the setup, I prefer dual fusion and flamer on them since I have my TEQ killing and GEQ killing power already.

>>43549226

Make sure your obliterators have the vet upgrade, the leadership boost is key
Take out the daemon prince, just use fatewaver, the re-roll is damn good
Make sure the herald has a disk as well, he can hang with the screamers for protection
You need another unit of troops in your CSM CAD.

You list should look something like this:

CSM:
Sorcerer
2x 4 rubric marines + aspiring sorc
3 obliterators
9 warp talons plus champ

Daemons:
Fateweaver
herald with grimoire
2x 10 pink horrors
6 screamers
2x 3 flamers

fool with your points and upgrades, you should be able to get close. Also I recommend splitting the obliterators into 3 units of single models rather than one big squad.

How good is the tiny rulebook with a DA on the front, for a new player?
I heard you can't just buy that version straight up, but it looks fine.
wanting to get into the nearest game store checked out a couple games and saw someone using pic related instead of the huge ass hardcover.
basically just wondering if I'm really missing out on anything important if I buy this version used off of ebay or some shit.

I suppose I could do the same thing to the aforementioned. But I could give sig systems to my bodyguards... but it'll cost more....
>>43549683
Wouldn't it be better to just use twin linked fusion blasters with Missile pods to cover the whole nine yards? Missile pods get more shots and more range. What's the benefit of flamers? The template?

So you say.

>>43549960
I would suggest taking out an obliterator and adding in as many screamers as you could. That should do nicely.

>>43550036
Twin linked is not better than more shots. Considering you can achieve BS 5 on your models when you need it, more shots is far better than twin linked.
Flamers are great for tau for 2 reasons, they kill the little stuff you big guns can't kill fast enough and they really shine during overwatch.

>>43550117
They are ok. Basically half the range for an extra shot. Fine as a unit that runs around shooting light tanks, monsters and infantry.

>>43550167
Hmmm...what is better?

They are facist by the low standards of the Imperium and deck their veterans out with the best gear. They also get a lot of love from Forge World.

Some people will spout that they are Loyalist Emperors Children, but that's a theory largely created by the fan base that has really very little credence.

I suck so much at painting space marines.

I'm pretty good at painting Orks, but for some reasons the smooth surfaces of the space marines' armor is messing me up. Especially with highlighting.

How do I get better?

I like that they get shit done internally. They act like everyone thinks marines act.

>>43550397
>>43550444
What attracted me is the fluffy relationship between them and GK (which are my first army). I'm not a fan of standard SM power and terminator armor and could never justify paying for Forgeworld...but the plastic set really changes things. I've also loved SM Apothecaries and their white armor since I started following the game in 3rd edition, and this is a good way to get a bunch of them in my army.

Okay one last question about my Tzeentch CSM/CD army:

Pyrocaster Flamers or Lesser Lotus of Transmogrification for Herald?

>>43550619
Neither
Giving your flamers a leader doesn't do much outside of instability since they shouldn't be in melee. Instead give your herald a lesser gift so he can take another weapon.

>>43550734
Done. Thanks everyone for helping me build my first miniature army! Idk maybe it's cuz I am new to this board, but shit /tg/ is much better than most other places here on 4chan and maybe the only board I don't feel like I am too old to be at. If I get the time, once I have bought/painted it all I'll post it here.

>>43550167
I think you're misunderstanding what I"m saying/doing. If I give them twin-linked plasma rifles, they'll ideally get 4 shots. As opposed to the twin-linked dual fusion blasters who will get only 2 shots. A plasma rifle would get two shots ideally within range (which is why they're being used as my Deepstriking unit). Then fire again twice because I twin-linked them. Thus getting a total of 4 shots. On the downside though they're a S and AP weaker than the fusion blasters.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding twin-linked, and they're counted as one single weapon, which in this case, they'd still fire one more than the Fusion blasters.

>>43549862
it has all the rules, even some extra stuff about "forging the narrative" just make sure your vision is good.

Anyone have the new Tau Painting guide PDF or is it a literal reprint of the old one?

So should I just go ahead and buy Dark Vengeance or what?

>>43550970

Buy HH Betrayal at Calth instead

>>43550857
ohhhh I see twin-linked gets rerolls to hit rather than being two seperate weapons.

>>43550970
DV sucks shit now, if you want marines you get Betrayal at Calth, its a 1500pt army right out the box for less than $200usd, thats a deal that you want to get before it goes out.

>>43550822
That's true, mostly.

>>43551122
Correct. Funny thing, you can model your battlesuit with dual fusion and it can be either two fusion guns or a twin linked fusion gun. Why? Logic.

Though I recommend you toss some magnets on that guy. Drill them in, encase in glue and all manner of enclosure so you never have to bother with them again.

>>43551023
This is a good suggestion
30 marines
5 termies
2 HQ
1 dread
That's over $300 USD worth of stuff, for $150
What a time to be a marine player.

>That's over $300 USD

Its actually $500usd if you buy those same minis from FW.

COVER SAVES POLL

Rules as written, a model (any model) has to be 25%+ obscured by the terrain to be granted cover.

However, every battle report I see on the major channels (Miniwargaming, SS82, TableTop Tactics) they give everything cover saves if they're just standing in the cover or terrain.

My FLGS tends to do this too.

How do you guys do it? If the rule is written one way, way do so many people do it their own way (thus granting way more cover saves)

>>43551232
>>43551285
>>43551302
Also if you go through eBay or preorder at most of your local shops, you can get a pretty fat discount. I'm preordering at my store and it ended up at $122 after taxes.

>>43551285
It's still $300 if we are talking chinaman though.

>>43551302
If you make it with 30k rules, yea that's easy.
Each tactical unit minimum is 150 points each
The dread can reach 250 points
The termies will also be around 250 points
Toss in both HQ and some upgrades around, you get a 1.5k army.

>Also captcha keeps asking me for waffles, this is the 5th time

>>43551368
Rules or houserules, take your pick.
Being in certain terrain gives you a cover save though.
Other terrain only grants you cover if obscurement happens.

>>43551368
Page numbers m8. The 25% thing only applies to vehicles as far as I'm aware.

>>43551419
Wait, I thought Marines were cheaper in 30k?

>>43550510
that's, rather odd that you can do ork skin easily but mess up on smooth surfaces like marine armor.

highlighting is a pain true, it takes a while to get good at it but a new brush and steady hand really helps. you can also try using a toothpick. instead of trying to use the tip, try using the side of the brush on say the pauldrons. you also try prime + base coat + wash + highlight (you'll work on the spots where the wash didn't settle, the raise surfaces on a cloak) + basecoat to cover up the spots where you messed up with the highlight + brighter color on the basecoat

>>43550613
it's almost like they live in a grim dark universe that enjoys misery

>>43551262
Okay final questions. What kind of weapons should I give my commander and what kind of signature systems should I give my deep-striking Bodyguards? I'm already thinking about giving them a Repulsor Impact Field. And maybe a Failsafe Detonator. Any other useful gadgets you guys suggest?

>>43550444
>possible traitor geneseed
please stop

anyways IA4 is the best one, and red scorpions are in it

since you asked so nicely, i guess i'll have to stop my insidious plot to corrupt the youth

>>43551665
That's true for scatter terrain, sure. Most people use ruins for cover which ignore the 25% obscured rule though.

>>43551536
Well the puretide chip is really good. Also the nueroweb upgrade is great, but so few people take it let alone know it exists.
The commander should take iridium armor, maybe onager gauntlet. Don't worry too much about the rest.
Make sure he's rocking something that makes the most of his ballistic skill, so dual plasma or fusion work great on him. Otherwise give him guns that fill a hole in your damage output, just not flamers.

>>43551859
If you're hidden from sight, you have a 5+ cover save. This is true for terrain, models, ect. It's always a 5+, even if they are being blocked by a ruin. Unless they are in a ruin, they have a 5+ cover base.

>>43551699
You've already corrupted the elders, why stop now?

>>43551990

The rule says "unless specifically stated" though, which things like ruins do specifically state as being 4+ saves.

Drop the CCS, it serves literally zero purpose.

The deathstrike also seems a bit extreme for 1000pts. There's a good chance by the time it fires, it won't actually do that much.

>>43551643
In 40k? I havent done it in 40k but in 30k it comes to 1420 with some upgrades, add some transports or some upgrades for certain squads here and there and you can get it to 1500pts easily.

>>43551368
>Rules as written, a model (any model) has to be 25%+ obscured by the terrain to be granted cover.

learn2read m8, thats only for vehicles.

>>43552294
In 40k using the apostle as a chaplain yeah. You only need to stick down some razorbacks, give the dread a drop pod and maybe tool out the HQs a bit more (only did WYSIWYG) and you'd have a pretty decent 1500 list in 40k.

>>43551232
imo DV is still a great kit

but this new kit is just on another level

HOLD ON A FUCKING SECOND

DV sells well.

Age of Sigmar kit sells really well.

So GW produces a 150 box set of many space marines. I'm guessing they've already sold a ton and they are going to sell like a million more or something.

Is this is future of GW? Mountains of grey plastic with a 100-150 dollar price point?

>>43552770
>Is this is future of GW? Mountains of grey plastic with a 100-150 dollar price point?

Theyve been doing that since fucking forever, starter sets, campaign boxes and bundles have been a thing and have always had a discount. This isnt new.

Same anon here, back from the 750 point game vs wolfie wolf. Set up as Dawn of War deployment and Big Guns Never Tire on his narrow-ass, 42" wide table. Rolled Strategic Genius Trait and stole the initiative and wrecked him. Hard. At the end of turn 5 I had destroyed 2 heavy supports, held 4 of 5 objectives and killed his warlord. I had units in place for linebreaker and I had first blood.

A lot of this is because Gork and Mork smiled on my dice, but I think he needs to get some Thunderwolf Cavalry. He somehow thinks they are overcosted.

Also for anybody wondering what Looted Wagons are good for. They are good for getting a cheap-ass killkannon in 750 point games.

Not bad. Makes a very proppa desert force, so do that if you're basing them.

>>43553470
The specific statement is "Any Dreadnought."

Therefore, RAW you may only carry vanilla dreads, no Ironclads or Venerables, as they are separate units.

I'm only half joking

>>43553461
Well I was more making them a mining/construction kind of force, Like they come from a more industrialized planet owned by major corporations, so they come into high combat zones, working first to strip resources for the Imperium, but also doubling as soldiers. So their flak armor doubles as hazard uniforms for mining stuff.

>>43553524
Oh, that explains the brightness of the orange. I thought it was just an effect.

Yeah, that's awesome, go for it. I'd recommend lots of orange/black hazard stripes, then, because that looks cool.

>>43553503
>any dread as long as it's black

>>43553524
That's a pretty interesting idea, will you be adding on extra gubbins to show the dual roles that they have? IIRC FW do some hazard suit cadians that might be up your ally.

>>43553558
Yeah, I plan on doing the hazard stripes and all that, I just hope I can manage to pull it off and make it look good
>>43553563
gubbins? And I'll check out the those cadians on FW, that sounds pretty neat

>>43553219
>But wait, he's a Wolfy Wolf and he's not packing Thunderwolves? No wonder you smited his sphincter.
Yeah I convinced him that they are tough as shit and mobile. I had to explain how acute senses and outflank works. He runs his wolfys as a Siberian Bear themed variant so he's going to try and model some bear cav. I think it'll be cool as shit.

>So how are you fluffing this? They went to get the Wulfy Wulf Aks back and fucked it up? Main force saw a bunch of bitches they needed to shag along the roadside?
Basically the wolfy-bears cam knocking for their Aks back but were too worked up and screaming and yelling too much about their plans so the Warboss got a kunnin' plan and set up an ambush at an old fuel depot. And proceeded to wreck some shit. He yelled "Ya'll to the wrong neighborhood motherfuckers!" at least a few times.

>>43553249
Yeah I mostly run it because it was a fun conversion to make and I go hard on the deathskull fluff, but it shines in small point games for sure. I used it to ferry MANz around too.

>>43553331
>>43553375

It wasn't anything that special. I went with this
HQ
Warboss
-PK
-Bosspole
-Lukky Stikk
-'Eavy Armor

Troops
20 slugga boyz
-boss nob, big choppa and boss pole
10 shootas
- big shoota, boss nob, big choppa and bosspole
10 grots

Elite
3x Meganobz

Heavy
11x Lootas
Looted Wagon w/killkannon and for some reason 3x skorchas on the front.

I rarely get to shoot all the guns on the wagon, but rule of cool took over. It's kind of a shit list actually but I grabbed objectives and stuck my MANz in the wagon and ran the 20 boyz with the boss behind it to block line of site for his heavy bolters and assault cannons and killed my way around his backline.

>>43553611
They're actually much easier than they sound. Lay down a strip of orange, multiple coats, then go over with the diagonal black parts. Then outline very finely in black to make it look like the black is the background.

Do it the other way if you prime black, but it's harder and you'll need four or five coats of the stripes.

"Gubbins" refers to additional model parts that serve no purpose on the tabletop, but serve to make your models look cooler. In your case, it would be things like spare track segments, cranes on top, lights, sign plaques, etc. Try looking at model railroad stuff, because they have plenty of good bitz for construction-y stuff.

>>43553654
Honestly it was just shit dice rolls that made it so one sided. I stole the initiative, killed his razorback on turn one, and his wolfguard termies mishapped and I stuck them back on his backline instead of up my lootas asses.

>>43553654
>He yelled "Ya'll to the wrong neighborhood motherfuckers!" at least a few times.

I love it.

Sounds like a cool army, too, keeping to the Deathskull theme. Continues to show that no amount of list tailoring beats intelligent command and unprepared opponents, FA/tg/UYS. COUGH FUCKING COUGH.

How good are Mechanicus with Skitarii and/or Knights without that cheese formation? I really like the Ad Mech, but I don't want to go full WAAC or buy every single Skitarii model.

>>43553828
new book? they just got saved from being wiped in the shield of baal campaign and then they were getting their asses beat by abby which caused to almost lose the chapter

>>43553897
>Shield of Baal
I thought that ended with the system wrecked and in control of Necrons, with the Blood Angel strike force sent in returning severely depleted and the Tyranids moving towards Baal.

Unless there's more to the story after Exterminatus.

>>43553789
Horus Heresy Book 4, around page 218 I believe.

>>43553894
The Cohort Mech isn't all that cheesy until you start spamming megacheese upgrades, but in any case they're still quite good. I regularly beat the Marines in my meta with them.

>>43553947

As for critique, rangers are generally useless, you'd be better off spending that points on a 5 man DA squad for that weird lone Wave Serpent, or a Warlock Skyrunner to Conceal the Farseer's unit as they jink around

>>43554257
I literally know jack about the rules and stuff, since I'm a new player, I've only just put together my IG minis, and have yet to paint em. Would you mind explaining a bit further for me? As I'm totally interested in striking from the deep because that sounds awesome.

So it's a little special, but here's the gist from IA5:

It's actually an Infantry unit that you buy as an upgrade to an Engineer squad, which you treat as a character that runs around with them (has to stay in coherency, all that). Taking it means you have to deepstrike (place it on the tabletop anywhere you like, but roll to check if and how much you scatter from your target), though you get an invuln save when you do, and permanent Move Through Cover, which is cool.

When it is time to PIERCE THE TABLETOP WITH YOUR DRILL, you have two options: you move it in the Movement phase, meaning you once again get that 4+ invuln and a long movement, but can't end near enemies, inside terrain, etc.

The fun happens if you Tunnel with it in Assault. This means you get to plow through anything in your way to get to your enemies, basically, with a whole bunch of benefits, most notably that THE ENEMY CANNOT SHOOT AT YOU AS YOU CHARGE THEM. If you've heard of Overwatch, it's a huge part of how most armies play, and the main reason certain ones are strong. This lets you literally skip that, and also HIT THEM WITH THE FUCKING DRILL. It literally cuts its way through anything, including people. It's awesome.

Here's the details:

>lying on a chinese comic forum anonymously on the internet

I'm giving advice to a new player with a new list seeking help. It's done all the time in these threads but as soon as MUH SCARY ARMY :( factions show up, everyone gets intimidated and tries to discourage that person from playing at all. It's bullshit, I'll continuously help Eldar players on this forum and in these threads whenever I'm around.

My farseer is totally painted too

>>43551529

>that's, rather odd that you can do ork skin easily but mess up on smooth surfaces like marine armor.

Not that anon, but I'm in exactly the same boat. The fact is that you can get quite a decent result on Ork skin with just a basecoat, a wash, then a drybrush, because it's quite textured. The same can't be said for flat surfaces that tend to look quite bad with the same process.

>>43554505
This is sounding fucking awesome but I notice it says it's used by Death Corps of Krieg. Does that mean I can't use it unless I'm using Death Corps?

I wonder how it would look bashing together the old berserker kit and this new horus heresy kit.

I have a feeling the results won't look so good as the berserker kit is very old. Even the standard CSM kit is ancient now.

>>43554543
Yes, which would be bad, except they fit your fluff very well.

You don't have to use DKOK minis, especially if you ally in a force of them to take the Engineers with the drills (which is my recommendation).

So, since /tg/ doesn't have Buy Sell Trade Threads I'm gonna throw it in here. Looking to sell off my Space Marines on the cheap.

It's all done in a dark green and black scheme with leadbelcher and bronze weapons. Would be easy enough to strip though.

Razorback w/ Heavy Bolter: $15
Razorback w/ Lascannon: $15
Razorback w/ custom Lasplas/Icarus Lascannon: $20
Whirlwind/Rhino: $15
Predator w/ all Lascannons: $20
Predator w/ all Lascannons: $20
Ironclad Dreadnought: $20
Land Raider(unpainted, primed black): $20
Land Raider: $20
Drop Pod, one door doesn't stay in: $15
Two Stormtalon Gunships(Recast in resin from Coolcastornot) $10 each
Stormraven(Recast in resin from a Coolcastornot source, requires repairs) $15
40+ Marines, mix of Tactical, Devastator, and Assault: $1 Each

$255 total, but I'm willing to part with it all for $200 if someone wants to buy it all at once. I'm in the US, but can ship internationally. Pic related is a sample of the color scheme

man I'd really love to see a new CSM kit

and for that matter a Chosen kit, done in the DV style and with a bunch of weapon options like the loyalist veteran kits.

I remember reading somewhere that CSM are like the 2nd or 3rd most popular army so it seems really odd that they don't get the love that Space Marines or (some of the) the filthy Xenos

I think her beef wasn't with the Night Lords but with the quality of the old kits compared to the new stuff.

Yeah if my friend is too slow then he's too slow, just sell what you can. I'm sure he'd want the Drop Pod, Rhinos and maybe some of the other armor though (at least that's what he needs)
