I think all Legion's need unique vehicle choices in general. Raven Guard get Whispercutter and Darkwing, nobody else gets much of anything.

I'm a fan of Legion, but I agree that there's a lot of hand-waving in covering up the inconsistencies with a whole Legion operating at the Spess CIA.

If you want a wider art on the front gun, mount it beneath the nose like regular speeders! The dude where he is now serves no purpose other than a gunner. If he was next to the pilot, he could cooperate with him on stuff, even take over if the pilot is hit.

>>46330082
It's a cool reveal to learn that it was the ALs doing that the Khans comms go to shit in Scars.
It's also a neat look at their willingness to use alien tech to get the shit done that they want.
The AL facility they're attacking is using a Necron Pylon Array, much like those found on Cadia to becalm the warp around it.
This results in storms around the edges of the effect. Which is what's messing with the WS.

Not that much sneaky bolter porn going on at all, until the latter parts of the story where they're basically fighting their way out to destroy the thing.

Wait, that's shit. The rule doesn't say anything about rolling a hit.

>"For every successful hit, they may make an immediate additional shooting attack with the weapon against the same target and may continue doing so until they miss with the weapon."

Not a single word about rolling to hit. Also, I just noticed something fun. Since the template can score multiple hits, and you (can) make a new attack for each successful hit, technically the number of attacks the template causes grows exponentially. If, for example, you hit 3 models with the template. That means you may make 3 additional attacks. Which all hit 3 times, causing 3 new attacks each.

>If someone actually tried to seriously pull that shit on me I would have just packed up my shit.
The correct answer is to make them actually roll it.

You want to go infinite, you're going to actually have to go infinite.

Also what is with the obsession with dual hand flamers? One hand flamer on a Moritat will do the exact same thing and leave you room for a plasma/inferno pistol to actually damage vehicles/big guys.

I don't think GW designers intended you to deep strike D weapon infantry without scatter next to your opponent, but that's a reality as well. Shit rules isn't the fault of the players. If FW did their job, this would have not happened.

Call it what ever you like, but there's no anal rules reading going on to make it work. It's pure and simple rules straight from the book. You can cry about it as much as you like, but it is what it is.
>>
>>46330749
>You want to go infinite, you're going to actually have to go infinite.

Why? Nothing says you must make a new attack for every hit, it's totally optional. So you can cause as many hits as you like and then stop.

>what is with the obsession with dual hand flamers

Looks cool? You can always use your third slot for a plasma or inferno pistol.

You could literally argue it is because this isn't the usual reliant on one wonky reading of certain words RAW issue. this is 100% plain exactly what the rules say.
Add in the fact that I've literally seen people talking about this possibility before the rules for BA were even written, and it's quite easy to argue they ment it for whatever reason

True, but you're rolling to wound and I'm rolling to save, I'm not taking your word for it that you scored "Like a trillion hits so everything obviously dies."

Also the next time we play 40k I'm bringing all 9 Wyverns, because I like dragging other people away from their games to hold up my blast templates.
>>
>>46330918
I don't know if FW intended BA to be able to field 5 assault cannon predators and dreadnoughts with dual fists and assault cannons, but that's in their rules as well. Or the fact that all BA get +1 to wound in CC.

I can keep placing the flame template over the same models over and over again, as long as you want. And yes, I'm perfectly willing to roll all the dice, if you like.

Try fielding 12 phospex rapiers and covering the board with 48 blast markers of dangerous terrain a turn.

No more exploiting than using formations or allies.

Never said its what they intended, nor would I play some who tried to a use it. But I don't consider a facebook post to be an official ruling considering how often they actually FAQ stuff.

>Automatically killing anything in an entire unit instantly isn't exploiting
There is a huge difference between free chainaxes or an extra weapon or attack and being able to instantly wipe out a 600 point deathstar in a single shooting phase with a single model that doesn't even cost 200 points.l
>>
>>46331094
What if he shoots at a T6+ unit? Does the game break?
>>
>>46331094
You sound like a Tau player crying about grav guns ruining their riptide spam. Stop taking 600pts. deathstars if you can't kill a single Marine model.

Moritats can deepstrike. As I claimed I don't give a shit about people using good or OP units or choices, but this isn't OP, it is literally "I am within range, that unit dies."

Interceptor. Also, where does it get deep strike from, I don't see it in the rules.

Hey, question? Are heavy bolter Ogryns worth a damn for an Imperial Militia list? It seems like a cool idea, but BS2 and the cost kinda kills it. Think I might be better with ripper guns or an extra weapon for the extra attacks.

Thanks dude.
>>
>>46328934
AL Sicaran variant.

At the beginning of the game it can be placed into reserves (with outflank) to force the enemy to place one unit into reserves as well.

For Alpharius' rule for stealing enemy reserve rolls, it counts as any unit type and may come in without matching the exact unit type of the enemy unit.
>>
>>46331657
Coal Black is more a desaturated Turquoise though, it leans a little blue, but it's primarily turquoise..
>>
>>46331199
>It seems written by an autist fag.
Probably the same guy that's arguing for hand flamer moriat being ok.

Also, it's a GW game, did you honestly expect better from the player base? The player base that is autistic about "historical accuracy" in a fictional history which itself is extremely inconsistent about?

I figured they thought it'd be limited by WYSIWYG

>>
>>46331951
Why? Because so far all this has boiled down to is "I don't like this broken thing, so it's more wrong than all these other broken things."

It's still a single Marine that has a 8-9" range and S3. Throw some castellax or rhinos at it, and it's screwed. Have a lascannon mortis standing by to vaporize him the moment he steps onto the board. Yeah, it's broken, but in a very specific way, and is far, far from undefeatable. Nor does it need some autistic skills of anal rules reading to make it work. I'm sure they'll fix it in an FAQ and before then you can agree with your opponent about some houserules regarding it. But people just claiming others are almost cheating for using it is totally dishonest regarding the rules.
>>
>>46332072
Slapping assault cannons onto everything is not hard.
>>
>>46332091
Rhino does nothing. It triggers on hit. It's infinite hit on the rhino.
>>
>>46332091

I don't know why you don't understand how a sub 200 point model shouldn't be able to just remove any sub T6 unit in the game in one shooting phase. Could you please return to 40k General and not come back?
>>
>>46332091

>this completely broken interpretation of the rules is ok because you can kill the guy with intercept

I'm not going to deal with it because Forge World already said it doesn't work and anyone who tries to use it IRL is just going to lose anyone willing to play them.

I'm an adult who plays this game to have fun, I don't have to put up with RAW lawyers like you and this community doesn't cater to those sorts. You're in the wrong thread m8

Are you paying 30 points for your Phoenix spears?
>>
>>46332202
>interpretation

You make it sound like there's totally different interpretation of the rules. I'd love to hear it, sir.

Also, way to not sound like an elitist asshole who thinks they know better, while denying reality. How about you learn to deal with it, rather than bitch about it on the internet or pack up your toy soldiers and leave? If you can't deal with a single Marine, you shouldn't be playing 30k, a game of Marines on Marines.
>>
>>46332294

You mean the interpretation by Forge World where they said it specifically doesn't work with hand Flamers?
>>
>>46332294

>elitist asshole

I am an elitist asshole. I actually paid to get into this game unlike you Warseer babies and I play with other people who are actually invested in the game, emotionally and financially. It lets me avoid dumb shits like you who ruined 40k and I hope you stay with that sinking ship.

You mean the facebook comment by some dude, who's not even part of the rules team, who doesn't even seem to know the rule he's talking about? The one he seems to think talks about rolling to hit, when it doesn't? Pretty legit.

Lets just see what they get into an FAQ.
>>
>>46332388
I think they should have special recon squad. They apparently had some covert ops guys.
>>
Why would anyone want to play Imperial Fists? I've been looking into them, and here's what I've been seeing:
BS buff on bolters, when others get missile launchers and other actual marine-slayer weapons.
Toughness boost through their Rite of War, where others get toughness boosts just for existing
Stubborn in cover, which seems underwhelming at best
Boosts to challenges, which fits the Black Templars they'll become, not the Fists they are now

What am I missing?
>>
>>46332360
Well, at least you admit it.
>>
>>46332447

>b-b-but it's the wrong part of Forgeworld

>>46332464
>What am I missing?
You are looking at rules instead of fluff.
>>
>>46332398
>>46332361

So you EC shits are remembering you buy your power fist before you buy a Phoenix spear right?
>>
>>46332450
I mean they don't have anything at all, so to be serious:

Elite (and Command Squad): Sekhmet Terminators
Fast Attack: Hidden Ones
Heavy Support: Cataphractii Automata Maniple

Generic option: Librarians can be taken in groups of 1-3 and distributed around like Apothecaries and Techmarines.
>>
>>46332501
If I wanted fluff, I'd go read the novels. I'm going to be playing the rules, so I'm evaluating them.

But it's true, the wording is exactly the same. Why is it different for them? It should cost an IC 30 points to take a Phoenix spear, full stop

>>46331724
That is really nice anon, keep up the good work.
>>
>>46332567
>Why is it different for them?
Because FW says it is.

Actually a 5 man command squad that's all librarians would be nice.
>>
>>46332585

Where do they say Phoenix spears work differently with the same rules? That's not RAW kiddo ;^)
>>
>>46332585
No they did not. They said that you had to pay for chainaxes. IIRC there was absolutely no discussion of other wargear. Since phoenix spears and hand flamers use EXACTLY the same kind of wording, the only logically coherent answer is that you MUST buy the wargear they are replacing first.
>>
>>46332634
>As a wargear option.
They aren't the same retard, that's why there's a debate every fucking thread.

But you don't have acess to a power fist until you buy it, why do you like cheating so much? I bet you hate hand Flamers moritats too

15 points, at least.

Allow vets and maybe some other unique unit to get brotherhood of psykers and a higher ML
>>
What book is the matrix of ruin from? It's an option on the HH battlescribe force options, and i'm not sure if it's legit.
>>
>>46332940
I wouldn't say that they break the game (there is a snowball effect though), but the more psykers you have, the more of an annoyance the psychic phase becomes.

Every time you want to use a power you're adding a couple of rolls; if the power is a witchfire or malediction you're adding yet even more rolls. This is for the main part non-interactive for the opponent. It's not fun.

The snowball thing is really that you're getting more warp charges and more rolls on the discipline tables. That means your one super psyker can fire off more powers, and you are more likely top have one librarian get some amazing power like Invisibility. Again, it's not fun.


Personally I would like to see something like: Upgrade a Sergeant to the Practicus rank. This grants him a passive ability based on his temple.

Corvidae: Re-roll the first failed armor save of the phase
Pyrae: +1 S to the model's first ranged attack of the phase
Pavoni: +1 S to the model's first CC attack of the phase
Athaneans: ??
Raptora: ??

Less rolls, less warp charge fuckery, less annoyances, still magical psychic bullshit desuu for the sons.

Maybe things have changed with the latest books, but for a time they were top-tier. Great terminators, wargear, characters (excluding Dorn), good for infantry-heavy armies. They're very common in tournaments and not just because everyone likes painting yellow.

2000 is in that awkward zone where a LoW can dominate a game (less so for superheavy tanks) but the game's big enough that they're not ridiculous, either.
