Reminder that balance in this game is being able to do damage without impunity.
how many units of reavers should i have as dark eldar? i'm thinking 2 units of 6 with 2 blasters and 2 cluster caltrops along with 6 venoms or is that too many?
Is this allowed?
>>44737014
Which is why power Fists should be not unwieldy :^)
>>44737048
Wait, there's actually CSM players that don't just use the SM codex?
>>44737021
T6 is pretty insane but I would agree on the Cybork Bodies. Also the Lukky Stik already does that lol
>>44736013
We'd need design permission to go above ten wounds, because a full Titan scale Gargantuan Creature is otherwise just gonna fall behind.
>>44737048
Using SM codex as pseudo CSM is common-practice.

Fantasyhammer 40k, but fucking with challenges MORE by making no-name Sergeants outperform dedicated melee units on a points-for-points basis is by far the WORST fix I've ever heard
One of my LGS is having a unique style of tournament. Build the worst 1000 points list you can, then you swap lists with your opponent.
Can go over by 15 points, but not under at all.
Formations are allowed.
No Fortifications, Forgeworld, Unbound, or Flyers.
Thoughts?
>>44737106
How about you just make it a god damn walker like it should be
>>44737088
I don't think T6 is that crazy for an HQ of a race that's known to be tough as balls.
>>44737119
Finally, my Vespid can shine.
>>44737119
Orks. That is all.
>>44737119
10 man tactical squads and as many melee dreadnoughts as you can fit in the list.
>>44737119

>>44737145
How about you retire that old meme and start campaigning for the abolishment of walker rules?
Skin as hard as steel, skin of literal steel? Same fucking thing.
>>44737119
what army do you have?
>>44737189
I run Tyranids. Unfortunately I won't be able to join in on the tourney due to work, but it sounds like a lot of fun!
>>44737119
Spore field formation 10 times.
I CLAIM DIS THREAD FOR DA ORKS
ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-DUUUUUUUUUUUEL!
>>44737048
No, if you do it the GW swat teams will absail into your house and kill your entire family.
>>44737106
10W, T10, 2++, 2++FNP, IWND
FGMC with Hex-axis Pulse ordnance multi-drivers.
>>44737185
Sure that works fine, but in a rule set where walkers and monstrous creatures are two seperatel things, a walker with 3 crew does not get to use the monstrous creature rules.
>>44737150
Only reason I say it might be too much is because then Lasguns cant hurt him period (I play Orks before accusations).
Honestly I dont think it would be nuts to give all Orks FnP 6+ and Hamer of Wrathbut im CRAAAAAAAZZZYYYY
>>44737157
They will.
Against other armies worst units they'll tear ass.

>>44737285
something with hit and run?
>>44737279
We're talking about the Ta'unar here.
You know, the one that looks sort of cool except it's triple gun is derpishly huge.
>>44737253
Yes, exactly, that was my point.
>>44737285
When charging a unit that is slower than you and has a 3+ save?
>>44737285
White scars/ravenwing (kinda) and death company can both make good use of them. Other than that you'd be hard pressed to find a good use.
>>44737302
White Scars with power lances? Sounds cool.

Death Company with dual Power Lances. Why? Cause fuck you it's fun.
>>44737363
The funny thing is that on average, a Ta'unar will eventually beat a Warhound in Melee.
It'll take forever for them to chip one another down with no D, no stomps and no Hit and Run, but the Ta'unar has the upper hand.
>>44737119
No Forgeworld? Retard meta detected.
Some of the most overpriced units in the game are FW. Chaos Decimator for example.

Well, the biggest reason Abaddon isn't considered a success is because even after they retconned in a secret motive for every black crusade, most of them were shit-tier bollocks like launching an entire crusade to get a sword.
One sword.
Great job Zeke, you got a fancy stabber and got thousands of servants of the dark gods killed in the process surely this will make your space crusades go better and not be completely irrelevant due to being a slight melee upgrade to one guy who's already a beast in melee.

To be fair it is a pretty nice sword.

Stormlance Battle Demi-Company (White Scars) = 1040
Kor'sarro Khan + Moondrakkan (25) = 150
Command Squad + Apothecary (15) + Bikes (35) + 4x Melta Bombs (20) + 4x Stormshields (40) + 4x Grav-Guns (60) = 260
Devastator Squad + Rhino (35) + 2x Grav-Cannon (70) = 175
Attack Bike + Multi-Melta (50)
Tactical Squad + Heavy Flamer Razorback (55) + Meltagun (10) = 135
Tactical Squad + Heavy Flamer Razorback (55) + Meltagun (10) = 135
Tactical Squad + Heavy Flamer Razorback (55) + Meltagun (10) = 135
Total = 1640/1650, Thoughts so far?
Upcoming tournament with a weird points bracket, 1 Super Heavy/Garg per army max, unless primary detachment is Knights.
I know it has problems with air coverage, I can't find a clean way to fix that, as I feel I need the Atrapos as a anti-knight contingency.
Drop pod contents to vary based on threat, normally the attack bike.

Can reliably and easily wound most things as well as automatically ID some armies and can threaten the odd unit that has 8/9/10 toughness.
>>44737720
my guess is that its because you have a good chance to wound most models. There's exceptions, like Land Raiders and Great Unclean Ones who rolled Iron Arm
>>44737809

I have near exclusively FW DKoK and Death Guard armies. A Blood Angel army with several FW units, and 5k points of an HH Night Lords army thats entirely FW. The only all GW I have is Nids.
And I can and do play all of them on a regular basis at my flgs. As do a bunch of other guys. Because my meta is full of FW phobic retards, jealous poorfags, or lying redshirts trying to corral sales.

Spot the dipshit that plays at a GW, and believes the lies of the store manager.
Protip: he wants your money, so he will say and do anything to deter you from FW.
Jesuschrist GW is a fucked up company. Brick and mortars running an international smear campaign on FW, because of draconian policies. And there are still customers dumb and naive enough to buy into it.
>>44737081
Take a look at "thelongwar" on YouTube and learn a thing or two from experienced Chaos players that not only play, but also win against tourney list of Eldar and such.
/tg/ is so locked in mathhammer its forgotten that there are other factors involved in the game as a whole.
>>44738390
aka luck
>>44738390
i know about the faggots you are referring to, but I'm talking about lists that actually use Chaos Marines. If you Want CSM minus the marines, then sure, it's fine as long as you ally daemons and spam invisibility, but I replied to a post about using actual marines
>>44738390
>learn a thing or two from experienced Chaos players
Spam invis?
>>44738390
Please. Just shut the fuck up. Some youtube channel doesnt mean shit. That codex is bottom 2-3.
While we're here though, why dont you link a game or two where CSM regularly beats Eldar tourney lists. Im curious to see if it was hilarious rolling, or hilarious objective card draws.
But to think CSM arent awful because of some battle report(s) tells me you're either new or a full blown retard.

Well you cant deny they play good, and uses good list as well. In my opinion these guys have figured out what the game is all about. They have a blast playing, and they use the rules at their disposal.
You are obviously so stiff up your anus that you cant think outside the box for once, stuck in the /tg/ loop of "I cant do it!" that you have forgotten whats possible to actually do.
Let go of the 3ed thinking and do fun creative lists that can actually kick some ass.
>>44738426
Amongst it, also experience. Watch some of those vids and learn a bit or two outside /tg/s boner for mathhammer for once.
>>44738497
This is the one that about 6 threads ago he presented as proof that CSM can beat Eldar.
Please note the lack of anything with Power Armour and the incredible luck as proof of CSM superiority

>>44738476
No denying, its a powerful spell.
But its also a great counter to faggots playing powerful Eldar lists and the such. See, instead of complaining, these guys try to counter and figure out ways to go around the problem. /tg/´s inevitable response is "I cant do it!"
>>44738544
>fun creative lists
Oh yeah, just look at the plethora of interesting options we've gotten over the years. It isn't like Chaos Marines, Orks, and Tyranids had most of their interesting upgrade options gutted and replaced with bland garbage.
Are the catachan models as bad painted as they look in the site? I was going to buy them to get into the hobby, but those weirdly defined muscles and strange faces are kinda turning me off.
>>44738532
They make great quality batreps where they actually put some effort in to it. You should give them a go.
>>44738622
All models come unpainted.
But yes, Catachans are hideous.
>>44738605
Its more of a fluff thing. The real benefit to running enclaves is Crisis troops.
That said, it canlet your guys dish out at least a bit more hurt against Orks. They probably still won't win, but its not like its a penalty.
>>44738544
Wow you are the one deep in your own ass anon. I get that you're trying to go against the grain and all.. But CSM are straight trash, it's not up for debate. Are you aware of formations? Or that most armies have been updated to the current edition?
Pick your battles wisely, this one was a bad choice. You are just flat out wrong bro. No matter how bad you want to be right, or how much you've convinced yourself that you are correct, and it's everyone else thats a retard. It's you anon, you are the retard.

See, the oldest Codex is fine!

Yes thats me, because all /tg/ ever does is fucking nag. All the time, all year round.
>Chaos sucks
>well, they can be played
>its luck....
>Eldar are overpowered
>well he played a good game
>No, its an op team
See, according to /tg/ there are only 2 factors in the game of 40k, and frankly I'm curious as to why you guys are still around trolling the forum with your shit. Its luck or playing an over powered team, thats it, there is no other secrets to the game.
Well, fuck you, you obviously haven't played the game enough to figure out that there is more than this. Do us all a favor and just quit.
Any of the Ravenwing guys from yesterday around? I was the guy runnig all three wings poorly. I was able to score some regular termis already assembled, all 5 have stormbolters and powerfists and another box of Deathwing termis NiB. I currently have 5 Deathwing knights but bought those assembled (dont h8) so don't have spare parts.
With the NiB Deathwing Termis and the 5 already assembled how many more than ten termis should I be able to kitbash out.
How do i deal with a "that guy" at a gw i go to? Avoidance isnt an option. He literally shits on anyone who disagrees with him.
I suggested a path for glory campaign for the store with daemons (reward table tweaking, ect) and he shits on me about playing through it ((((not enough))). The whole point is to get people who havent tried it to play!! For fucks sakes. Do you guys have these people at your stores?
>>44738701

Honest confessions: 40k general edition
I played against tau so much I forgot that going to ground did anything
>>44738883
He said " do you even know what unbalances the game???" Which isnt relevant, considering that the point was to draw in new people to a gametype and have them figure it out.
>>44738741
The Eldar codex is full of stuff that makes them better.
Take Melta in the CSM codex. Best you can do is a Havoc squad to eat up one of your HS slots, or Raptors with 2. Getting the Havocs in position is tricky, and the raptors could scatter. Even then, neither is really garunteed to take out an enemy tank.
Meanwhile, the Eldar codex can get 2 Meltas on its basic troops and stick them in a more durable and mobile transport, or take a dedicated Malta team that can not only get a deep-striling transport, but can also get BS 5 and a bonus to the vehicle damage table. It is very unlikely a Tank will survive Fire Dragons shooting.
And the best part? Fire Dragons will run you about as much as the CSM options.
And that's just a tiny facet of how the Eldar are better. You can basically repeat that for eveey option in the codex.
>>44738883
Also, he asked if id even played it. No, considering the point was to get people playing it. Learn together.
>>44738914
What unbalances the game? It doesn't seem so bad when I look at it.
>>44738726
There will always be balance issues, the problem is what you do about it.
/tg/´s response is as always "I cant do it!"
This is the problem, not the team. I don't care if you want to run a cultist heavy list, just do it, but if you don't win you don't, Its that simple.
Myself for instance, I like playing my DW, because I like the team. I know Ill get hammered more than my fair share, but I'm fine with that. Its the price I pay for playing a "bad" list. I could easily do better if I wanted to, I know that. But had I followed /tg/´s advice I couldn't, because using the tools at my disposal is either over powered, unfluffy or spamming.
So fucking what? If I get a better score and a more flexible list if I ally some Ultramarine formation, why should that matter? If me and my friends get a more interesting game, where my opponent doesn't table me in T4.
You guys are just so stuck in the "I cant do it". Perhaps you can use regular CSM, but with some allied support of Daemons to get that punch. They might not be the best, or buff your army the way you want it to, but thats your choice! You build the list, you decides what power level you want to be in.
>>44738947
I have no fucking idea. He's just that guy incarnate. Flying circus in a 500 pnt game with daemon princes of nurgle , that sort of shit.
>>44738694
Catachans and Cadians can both be painted to look significantly better than they look on the GW site.
That being said, they are (very) old plastic models.
I like them both, but I've been using them for a (very) long time. YMMV.
>>44738984
Thanks anon!
I hope you guys occasionally have fun.
>>44737849
>>44738031
OK, these aren't horrible. I'm impressed
>>44738963
>you decide what power level you want to be in

>>44739037
I only have fun when I survive past turn 2
>>44739037
Lots of /tg/ posters don't even play the game. They read the codexes or other blogs and regurgitate what has already been said.
Not necessary bad, but /tg/ basically uses Mathammer to decide what is good and what is not.
>>44739055
BIKERS!
>>44739055
Blitz Brigade turn 1 charge strategy of course.
>>44739082
Mathammer can be very useful, I always calculate how much damage I should mathematically do before I take an action.
>>44739055
Think outside the ork dex for instance.
you decides if you want to bring a pure ork list. If you get hammered doing so, that shouldn't come as a surprise, just as with me and my pure DW lists I run.
I'm aware of the loss rate, but I'm ok with it, because I like my army and I enjoy playing an uphill battle.
And believe it or not, I actually beat local Tau and Eldar players. not as often as I would want, but the fact that I do it, is enough.
True this is only "luck" when asking on /tg/ as no other factor is involved when playing 40k. Just ask the experts above, they know just about everything there is to know about mathhammer.
>>44738972
That's actually possible in a CAD, what the fuck GW?
>>44739161
>Your garbage codex isn't the problem if you can't do it
>Just take a better book as allies and be a tactical wizard like me!
>>44739055
Play Tau and convert them as 'looted' Orks battle suits.
>>44738963
Being able to beat Eldar by playing as little of the codex as possible doesn't make CSM a good codex you incorrigible faggot.
>>44739077
>>44739037
>fun
Wish you fucks would stop using this meme buzzword.
>>44739132
Yes, but its not fact´s as /tg/ would proclaim. Only time mathhammer isn't a factor is when a low rated team beats a high rated team, because then "luck" happened.
/tg/ doesn't even acknowledge experience or tactics as a factor, and I personally think its the lack of actual gaming on /tg/ thats the cause of that.
I play Newbie´s on a regular, and trust me, one have to put some effort in to it not tabling some of them.
>>44738898
Those flesh coloured legs are kinda disturbing
Guess that's the point though
>>44739171
You see what im dealing with?
>>44739161
The very fact that you're using Tau and Eldar as examples of strong armies proves that there's a problem. I notice you don't brag about beating up Orks players, but if its as easy as you say, why don't you consider them worthy opponents?
>>44739288
You could ask him to use a more casual list, or make a list more hardcore than his.
>>44739288
What army do you play?
>>44739161
uh Orks have the second worst allies chart behind Tyranids....
>>44739251
having fun is a meme? or are you just pretending to be retarded?

They're desperate allies with almost everybody.

That's the problem. It's a dice game. Dice Gods sometimes hate us.

>>44738751
I'm guessing the owner makes a killing selling Official Citadel-Brand Toilet Paper.
>>44739469
The more dice you roll, the more you tend towards the median though.
In a sufficiently large game (say 3000 points or so), luck really balances out with the sheer amount of rolling that's going to happen.
>>44739449
Not to mention you'd have to be a paraplegic to not be able to get out of the way when someone stands on the table and drops their pants.

Its almost like the Eldar actually have tactical options.
>>44739368
It is a meme, see >>44739423 It's a joke, anon. I made a joke. I thought everybody has seen "fun is a buzzword" post.
>>44739570
How is that me being retarded? I quoted a meme and you go "hur dur retarded". "Pretending to be retarded" is also a meme. So stop being retarded, anon-kun :3.
Also, I prefer that term that other guy used, socratic irony.
>>44739570
>being ignorant of a widely shown screencap

Ignorance is fine anon, but lashing out cause you don't know something is a sign of autism.
is "choom" like the "dakka" for rich(er) people who play 30k instead of 40k?

>>44739461
Point Cost?
>>44739713
I dont play yiffs, but A) you fucked up that predator unless yiffs have a massive points reduction, B) TWC usually have two lightning claws and a Thunderhammer/SS and C) never mix weapons on devestator-equivalents, else you waste their weapons half the time
Looks like it would be pretty fun, but I would personally drop the Lictor and the Adrenal Glands on the Trygon Prime.
Can ork boy arms fit on catachans? I want to make some ork hunters.
jesus fuck is this the shitty homebrew edition? just dont, its going to be fucking autismal every time you do it
>>44737026
Drop the blasters and get more cluster caltrops.
I personally recommend running 6 groups of reavers that are 9 man squads with 3 CC.
>>44739813
Im just running with what models i own, if i had another 'thrope i'd replace the Lictor. The Adrenal Glands are on the Trygon because it always whiffs on charge distance every single time i use it, and it fits the point cost easier
>>44739860
I hope you have fun with your list, I personally still need to get some Lictors to try out a deep strike heavy list.
>>44739891
It'll be a blast, if i win i'm going to get another trygon or a 'fex brood. Lictors and genestealers are both great for early-game distraction units, but unless you do the tourney lictorshame list then lictors arent really that impressive in the long run
>>44739827
Is... Is this an "Over the top" reference?
>>44739891
Oh a fellow Lictor lover.
I'm going for the Death Leapers assassin brood.
Rate my doctrines, I'm the guy building the ork hunters:
Hardened Fighters
Jungle Fighters
Xeno-fighters (Orks)
Veterans
Warrior Weapons
>>44739785
that is the only predator build that has ever killed anything for me in 12 years of gaming, I actually hate the tank but love how it looks.
good to know about the TWC, I have a thunder hammer built but not the points to run it right now
devastators, you are probably right, I just want to paint all the weapons
Thanks for the input, it helps moving forward
>>44739996
3.5 versions out of date, but fluffy?
>>44739961
I love Carnifexes. I always try including at least one of them in my lists.
>>44739989
I find them to look really cool, they're pretty unique looking!
>>44740023
Is there a new version of the codex?
Trying to cross the IP streams with my SoB Living Saint: Avacyn or Iomedae?
>>44740028
I own one melee carnifex and i never run him since he gets focused on every game and never does anything. How would you run them in my list? Drop the exocrine and biovores, assume i have two slots and 500 points free
>>44740070
Nevermind, just got the issue clarified. My local group plays 4ed.
>>44740094
Not the same guy but Tyrannocyte with Barbed stranglers. Regen on the Fex.
>>44740094
I think the best idea is to take a squad of three of them without upgrades, a venomthrope and move toward the enemy slowly through ruins. This tricks the enemy to focus them down or else they get close with all their s9 ap2 attacks.
>>44740094
Personally, I would end up dropping the Trygon Prime, and take a Dakkafex, but you said yours is melee, so I would take it with Crushing Claws, and Spine Banks. That would free up 105 points. It would really depend on what other models you have on what to spend those on.
>>44740138
I'm sorry.
>>44739745
Not sure, was thinking in the ballpark of 160-180 points
What would be something interesting in the fluff to see that won't cause skub? Me? I think Tau dealing with Enslavers would be nice to see. I'm curious if the Tau would notice the psychic jellyfish brainwashing them instead of the Etherals.
>>44740094
Fexes should be brooded up. Gives them more meat and more attacks. Regen if you can afford it, adrenal glands if you can't so you can get better runs and thus maybe even reach combat by turns 2 and 3
>>44740178
Whether i win or not, im getting two more, it isnt nidzilla without a few fexes. I like the Trygon, it fits the 'giant monster' theme too well. Is the Dakkafex that good with bs3?
>>44740174
This is what i was thinking, maybe two stock with adrenals and one loaded for bear in a venom cannon tyrannocyte, similar to what >>44740162 said
>>44740190
4e wasn't bad. 3.5 was good, 5 was OK.
>>44740201
Try about 230.
WS 8, I7, 5A? With god tier special abilities along with a 2+/4++.
>>44740190
What's wrong with 4ed?
>>44740233
Only with Twin-Linked Devourers, but for 30 points, 12 S6 shots isn't anything to scoff at. I usually hit with everything, or at least 10. They're crazy good combined with a meat shield of 30 Termagants in front with a Venomthrope/Malanthrope providing them all with cover.
>>44740255

Oh wait the wound allocation bullshit was 5th.
>>44740319
All chapter masters have EW, >>44739461 should just add it.
>>44740337
4th was still a good balance though.
That was the McCraigge starter, right?
Why is there no way to get 2 CCW guardsmen?

>>44740373
>All chapter masters have EW
No they dont.
>>44740478
You clearly haven't played the game enough to realize how easy it is to field S8
>>44739055
You have to surprise the everloving shit out of your opponents. Supplement up your army. Do the most unorthodox things imaginable. BE THE UNPREDICTABLE ORKS FROM THE FLUFF.
Buy a pair Wall of Martyr's bunkers, and some hatches. Use the bunkers as 50 point AV14 transports to disembark Burna Boyz into flamer range on turn 1.
Get Void Shield Generators to force opponents to dedicate Lascannons to kill Ork Boyz.
Put the Kustom Force Field from Waagh! Gazhkul on a BikeMek, and stick the BikeMek in a squad of Stormboyz. Enjoy your turn 2 charges with 30 boyz who have a 4++ save.
Use the forgeworld's Kustom Stompa rules to make the DAKKAEST STOMPA, for 1/2 the cost of the standard stompa.
Ally with Tau to get a Y'vahra battlesuit. Put it in melee range on turn 1 using it's 24" jump move to distract the everloving shit out of your opponent, while the previously mentioned Mekjumperz advance across the table unmolested.
>>44740373
I fucking wish Chapter Masters had EW by default. I spend on average 200~ points for a good chapter master, so EW would be a truly amazing thing indeed to have by default on my walking combat gods.
>>44740483
Oh, who doesn't?
>>44740400
Cultists
>>44740491
of course I do, but you clearly haven't played the game enough to know a chapter master has EW from start, not to mention, hiding him in units, or creating objects of greater threat to your opponent. All of these are factors to include in the calculation, but in true /tg/ fashion you dissed it because one flaw.
>>44740584
It's easier to list who DOES have EW. EVERYONE else doesn't.
> Darnath Lysander(Technically a Captain)
> Smashfucker
And that's it. You can only get Eternal Warrior from The Shield Eternal artifact, which is expensive as balls. And I have only one chapter master that actually uses it.
>>44740584
Kantor, Helbrecht and Azrael. Generics don't either but that goes without saying. I think a majority of the chapter masters in the Badab war don't have EW too but I haven't gone back to check
>>44740627
You forget Grimnar, Calgar, Dante and Draigo.
>>44740400
You can equip command squads like that and give vets shotguns, my friend has a melee guard army that destroys all our groups more traditional melee armies like orks and daemons.
>>44740668
Fuck, I did forget Calgar. But I don't own any of those other codexes that have those characters.
>>44740643
> Carab Cullin of the Red Scorpions
> Chaplain Thulsa Kane of the Executioners

ctrl-f speaks true of the badab war characters.
Does Tyberos have EW?
>>44740763
The answer is unfortunately no.
Also, what the fuck? Why does 4chan think my PUUSH is spam? I really should send a message to the mods about that.
>>44738390
>Win against Eldar tournament list
>With Chaos
So, I'm assuming 3 Heldrakes, and 3 Max squads of Obliterators, because I literally can't see a Chaos army at 1850 matching a "Tournament" Eldar list. I'm assuming, that the Eldar player is bringing at least 4 Scatpacks, Wraithknights, and either the Crimson Death formation, or the Aspect Host formation full of Warp Spiders. I literally cannot comprehend how they'd do it. Not just "lol such a good general", or just because of luck.
What the best looking vehicle and why is it the Wave Serpent & all variants?
>>44740763
Nope. He doesn't even have a fucking iron halo. Cheap bastard. Not as bad as Issodon though. He doesn't even have an invulnerable as far as I can tell
>>44740817
Lias Issodon doesn't have an Invuln, because a giant fucking glowing halo would interfere with his "I'm Big Boss, and I'm the sneakiest fucker to ever live" deal.
He has shrouded instead, which gives a +2 cover save to him and whatever squad you attach him to... Because yes, Shrouded applies to the whole squad. Except in melee, that's typically better than 1 guy having a 4++, because now there's 10 guys with 3+/2++
>>44740603

It would be really awesome (and it usually is) except that ignore cover can be acquired for pennies for most armies while other armies just douse his unit in fire.
His rules are fluffy as hell though. Kudos to FW for that bit. However they dropped the ball when they forgot to give Tyberos an iron halo.
