So I've never played 40k before and I've painted a full army of Slaanesh Daemonettes and am finally ready to learn the game and whatnot. What am I in for? I've never even SEEN someone play a full game of 40k, much less played a game myself.

I know Space Marine Battle Novels aren't good by most definitions but I'm really enjoying Wrath of Iron and I'm thinking of starting Iron Hands as a result.

I have, surprisingly enough, never played Space Marines - I started out with Guard and moved on to Dark Eldar. Are Marines as point and click easy as they seem with things like Skyhammer and easy ObSec or is there some complexity I am missing?

It's a strong codex.

You can absolutely still grow as a player and get a lot more out of them.

Alright, I want to start a Space Marine army alongside my Astra Militarum army, and I'm stuck between Red Scorpions, and Imperial Fists (or a successor).

Could you all help me out? Which Chapter Tactics is better and or more fun?
>>
>>46883683
Because they just do.
>>
>>46883683
So they can shoot turrets in fortifications if they want to.
>>
>>46883808
>Which Chapter Tactics is better and or more fun?
Fun is subjective.

IF have a tactics that works on your turn, Scorpions mostly work on the enemy's turn.

Also Red Scorpions are outdone at their own game by Iron hands who also get warlord traits and relics on top.
>>
>>46883808
I'd personally lean towards Imperial Fists. Red Scorpions is nice for durability, but Fists opens up more options for different unit combinations.

Red Scorpions also just encourages spamming tacticals, which Fists can do alongside boosting their other options.

It does depend on what you're after though.

Yep. Bolter drill might seem boring, but it really improves the reliability of some otherwise sub-par units.

Imperial Fists can actually use Heavy Bolter Devs to good effect, which speaks for a lot.

it was just a small discussion about the last faggot that was the last OP and his opposition and supporters shitting up the thread.

>>
>>46883925

Just being pedantic but it is actually something like 1 dead Marine per 3 or 4 Ork boyz (depending on shootas vs. sluggas).

You figure you need 3 wounds to kill a marine so you need to attempt to wound 6 times and to attempt to wound 6 time you'll need 12 attacks. Granted that's a very simple approximation but it should model an 'average' round of combat.
>>
>>46883869
>>46883906
Iron Hands do interest me as well, now that I've looked at them. They seem quite durable, which is nice.

I think I'll go with Imperial Fists or a successor, as what >>46883971 said is nice in that Heavy Bolters are viable on them, I think(?), as I quite like how they look.

Though I've heard that Fists are not for beginners when it comes to painting them, so I'll have to look at some of their successors and see if I find a color scheme I like best.

Because character upgrades in the daemons codex can potentially roll a shooting power (technically two but one is a template)

Were you part of that mess? You're very hostile.
Also after skimming over the previous thread, it hardly seemed like a small discussion.
But hey, whatever keeps the shitposting to a minimum. It's not like /tg/ can be worse than other 40k websites.
>>
>>46884094
Making heavy armor cheaper would be nice as well. 10 points for an Ork boy with a 4+ save is ridiculous.
>>
>>46884081

The Thousand Suns. Midnight black armour specked with stars.
>>
>>46884119
Probably Iron hands for fluff. I think you can get a decurion that has Dreadnoughts or many types as one of the support choices, so after the core you can pick up a bunch.
>>
>>46884161
It's so useless in the current game anyway because everyone is packing AP3 to xounter Marines. You only really want it to save some boys when your trukk explodes.
>>
>>46884027
Heavy bolter devs ordinarily aren't very good, since anything tougher than a MEQ will stonewall them.

Imperial fists helps a lot with that, since re-rolling 1s means hitting a lot more shots and forcing a lot more saves, but it also gives them increased utility against lighter vehicles thanks to Tank Hunters.

They go from a poor choice to being a solid option.
>>
>>46884233
Yeah, but them having to use AP 2 against your boys means they aren't using it on your vehicles or 2+ saves.

Heavy armor doubles your survivability against small arms fire, but the downside is it currently costs almost as much as another Ork boy anyway, so buying more is usually the better option.
>>
>>46884027
>I've heard that Fists are not for beginners when it comes to painting them
Prime models tan, paint yellow, wash with sepia and it's a breeze.
>>
>>46884224

A Core is a way bigger tax than HQ and Troops though. Means less room for Dreads.
>>
>>46884133
>Were you part of that mess? You're very hostile.
Nah, just get really fed up with faggots who can't handle a chicken and tau face and the op, and faggots who can't handle a chicken and tau face not being there. I apologize if I cam across any other way.
And I agree, whatever keeps shitposting down to a minimum is the best. Unfortunately unless we get some type of consensus via a vote or something, I don't think this shitposting war will ever stop.
>>

What's the core for Handcurion like? What are the Handcurion bonuses?
>>
>>46884171

Hierro Manos, an Iron Hands sucessor.
>>
>>46884130
10 BC nobs @ 230 points kill 5.5 marines
38 slugga boys @228 points do 12.6
>>
>>46884404
Yeah, probably just IH CADs with Techmarines, Librarians and scouts
>>
>>46884456

>Not Fierros Manos
>>
>>46884466
How the fuck are you going to get 38 boyz (larger than a legal squad) into combat?

10 nobz can actually be transported into combat, wont get shit on foot slogging, and all 10 nobz will be able to swing while maybe 20 boyz will
>>
>>46884435
>What's the core for Handcurion like?
Demi Company, Armoured Task Force, or Stormlance Demi
(Cap/Chap,
0-1 Command Squad,
3 Tac squads,
Dev Squad,
Choice of Bikes, Attack Bikes, Assault Squad, Land Speeders)

>What are the Handcurion bonuses?
2 Warlord Traits, but the extra one is either from Tactical or Strategic
+1 FNP within 12" of an IC from the Detachment
Vehicles have POTMS within 12" of an IC (including carrying one) from the Detachment.
>>
>>46884466
Also, spend the few extra points on a waaagh banner and suddenly they hit on a 3+
>>
>>46884561

Eh, crap then.

So really, the options for Dreads are pretty much an Iron Hands detachment for FOC flexibility and IWND, or White Scars for Hit and Run.

Any other alternates?
>>
>>46884561
I tried this by taking a techmarine for each tactical squad and it was crazy. The squads never died, crushed all in melee.
Free 5+ FNP for a squad costing 246 total, 2 meltas (one combi) rhino and the techmarine doing what he does.
That being said it's the same cost for a librarian, technomancy!
My nurgle CSM guys are not happy.
>>
>>46884547
20 boys @ 120 points, 6.67 wounds.

>>46884592
10 BC nobs + banner @ 250 points kill 7,4 marines

As the combat brows protracted the nobs DO pull ahead.

Of course if we let them hit shit without power amour the nobs pull further and further ahead, esp when they hit the mark the the choppa AP kicks in, or hell VS eldar when they ID exarchs.
>>
>>46884695
I usually run 5 nobz in a wagon, 4 with BC and one with PK

Theyre also cheaper to buy eavy armour for and get similar results to a squad of 10 boyz but with less space needed

I run unbound with only nobz and 0 boyz
>>
I like the idea of SM decurions, as I always believed that SM armies should be rewarded and encouraged to use mixed arm tactics rather than the "spam a lot of this one unit you normally can't", but the actual implementation is awful.
Anyone agree?
>>
Speaking of the SM decurion, what gets you all the possible options? Is it just the Codex and then Angels of Death, or do you have to fuck about with bits and pieces scattered across books?
>>
>>46884857
That should be the way all formations work.

Rewards for using a wide variety of lesser-used units.

But then they made a bunch of formations that were just 'hey, take those things you were already going to with extra bonuses'
>>
>>46884933
There's no way to get all possible options unless you take formations on their own. Even then you don't get access to stuff that's not formations unless you find a way to add it with another detachment.
>>
>>46884933
>the sm decurion

The Gladius Strike Force is all in the codex

However, there are now like... 7 SM decurions? (Gladius, Anvil, WS, IF, IH, Salamanders, RG)
>>
>>46884497
Furious Handos?
>>
>>46884966
I thionk it should have been moreso for SM, which are based on bringing in a variety of units and having them work together, similar to Tau, to be greater than the sum of their parts.
However, you are right, on the whole. While I think ones like tha drop pod that allows assault units to charge and devs to fire without snapshot are fluffy as hell, speaking to how sms react when making shock assaults or the one that piles on transports, others are just silly.
>>
>>46884974
There's also the armored assault one.
>>
>>46884027

With regards to choosing colour, don't be put off if your favourite scheme is a little harder. Pick what you like and it'll make you happier in the long run, even if its tough to start.
>>
>>46884027
So far, I've found that I like the Hammers of Dorn, the Sons of Dorn, the Iron Fists, and the Knights of Dorn, though they seem like they would be extremely hard to paint.

>>46884267
Ah, I see. Well, that's good then, I suppose.
>>
>>46884267
So if you take the new(ish) stormlance battle demi-company, any of the units that are part of the formation can re-roll to hit for shots vs enemies holding objectives.

But you have to start in the transport, but a cataphractii terminator captain that joins them removes the issue.
I've done this several times, and of course after shooting the unit moves d6, for free.

I doubt this helps anyone now, but a few threads ago there was a discussion about deploying fortifications from Reserves. We found that you could Deep Strike them in 6E but no mention of it in 7E - or rules for immobilized units at all.

The Purged primarch belongs to the Red Scorpions.
Their intense secrecy and fixation on genetic purity plants them somewhere between Dark Angels (the first legion) and the Emperor's Children (the third legion). This would land them as the second lost legion, something only FW would be allowed to do.
>>
>>46886059
But the Purged were gotten rid of for something being really wrong with their geneseed. Unless Red Scorpions are their successors after it got fixed, I'm not sure how it lines up.
>>
>>46886109
Might have been a patchwork fix and the purity paranoia's there to keep it patched.

Assuming the rumors are true about Blood Angels, Nids, Grey Knights and another army(Pre-decurion style codex, I don't remember which one). What kind of formations would you expect/hope for from the Grey Knight's one.
>>
>>46886109
That's what I'm saying. Their legion had some serious genetic anomaly that caused the majority of their legion and primarch to be purged. The Red Scorpions are the pure survivors who were inducted into the Ultramarines.

Rules question here.

Unlike Servo-skulls and Teleporter Homers, the Auger Array does not specify "friendly units." Does that mean an allied Desperate Ally or Come The Apocalypse unit, like Ripper Swarms or a Venom, could Deep Strike without scattering?

The rules for allies says they cannot deploy within 12" "when deploying for battle" - but isn't that referring to the start of the game? Even without the Auger Array, I can't imagine how it would work if that was referring to Deep Strike as well, since they might scatter within 12" or whatever. I imagine you just Deep Strike as normal (treating allies as enemies) and take your One Eye Open test if you're too close.

That'd be a neat one. Big Mek with mastery level 2, and he can take 2-4 other Meks that each generate a warp charge for him.

>>46886640
well it is kind of hard to debate that. I love the idea of them as a core force, but they really seem to do best when taken as specialist allies

>>46886620
they wound MEQ on a 5+
they wound bikes on a 6
they cannot wound nurgle bikers

>>46886721
I could see them doing better if you took multiple CADs maybe, using the troop scions as suicide squads and the command squads to get shit done with orders and special weapons, but eh, that's a bit stretch, and they will die super easy to battlecannons or tau shit
>>
>>46886739
T4*, actually. Each of those cannons has a techpriest gunner on it, so until they all die, you are going to have a majority of T4.
>>
>>46886698
Earlier today I was thinking pseudo-rending where they became ap3 on a 6 with no bonus vs vehicles would be cool for choppas, without further making teq worthless.

>>46886798
NOPE

being artillery, they, and any characters attached, become toughness 7 until every gun is removed.

Apoc barrage seems kinda shit unless it has an absurdly high fire rate. A three shot one would scatter all over the damn place, for example.

Why should a guy ignoring a wound be comparable to a robot skeleton that can reanimate through any damage? If an ork gets obliterated by a Deathstrike missile, he shouldn't just brush off the ash and say, "Didn't even feel it."

2+ save. Tank for challenges with 3++ reroll ones, powerfists on the tech marines via harness. Up to 6 plasma shots for danger close. It's tougher than you think.
>>
>>46887128
khorne cares not where the hits fall, just that they do
>>
>>46887213
T5 means one lucky powerfist hit is not his death. And against dreads /knights the grots eat the hits. 6ws means hitting back on 3s.
>>
>>46887182
By the time something got to melee with the unit, it wouldn't last unless it was a deathstar of bullshit proportions.

Have you ever seen what three thunderfire cannons do? Compared to a riptide these things are absolutely nonsense... especially if you use the warlord trait to give them rending. Also a little psychic support means they never miss.
>>
>>46886956
That should kinda be the point though, stupid resistance against small arms and chainswords, but focused artillery fire that usually destroys tanks SHOULD take down a mob of orks.

Most armies can't spam that much heavy pie plates anyway, so wouldn't even be a balance problem either.

I see lots of Ork fixes every thread, buy I'm actually updating the codex to 7th Edition. Among other things, I'm bringing back doubled initiative on the charge for non-grot infantry with a LD test (probably the biggest boon, & how the army was always supposed to be); eliminating Cowardly Grots; fixing points across the board; and returning Mob Rule to LD= wounds, 11+= Fearless. Below are some suggestions I may consider, or fixes that address the problem in the post.

>>46886698
>Choppier
Weight of attacks will cover this, so I made this a 1 point upgrade for Choppa Boyz to get Hatred (re-roll hits 1st round of assault).

Big Choppas (& Red Choppas) now have Dead Choppy: roll a 6 to wound & the target has to take armor saves at -1. Not certain whether to make it for all BC hits or just the 6s, but leaning towards the former.

Nobz are re-priced, PKs are 20 points, & Nobz get special melee weapons for 5pts less across the board to a minimum of 5.

Orkanauts are assault vehicle Super-heavies.

The Stompa costs 20 points more than a goddamned Warhound, so it now has stats that act like it (Power Field, extra stomps, re-roll on Stomp Table, S:D naturally, Towering Monstrosity so it can't be locked in combat or targeted by psyker shenanigans).

But like I said, 'Ere We Go giving Fleet & giving a chance to double Initiative (Walkers LD10 assumed) goes a long fucking way towards making the army what it's supposed to be.

The cheapest and best ways take a lot of time or effort.

The EASIEST and fastest ways will cost you some more money.

Best, but most expensive easy way: buy resin bases with sculpted details and just paint them up.

An easy, good way that's cheaper than buying resin bases: buy Citadel's basing kits and use their little inserts that have details on them like skulls or dead enemies or sculpted rocks.

Cheapest, easiest way but doesn't necessarily look as amazing: textured paste from Vallejo or GW to mimic sanded bases.

Just buy the cheapest sand you can find. Even kitty litter works. The only difference between sand "brands" is how big the granules will look. You can get fine sand for desert or coarse sand for a pebbled look.

If you scoop your own sand from the street or local playground like a hobo, just be sure to not get arrested and charged as a sex offender and to bake the sand to sterilize it since all sorts of dog and cat feces, urine, hobo urine, used up needles, HIV, pink eye, etc will be in there.

150 shots 50 hits 17 wounds. 6 marines dead. doesn't seem like enough for a 175 pt unit in rapid fire range that can't get a vox caster to roll roll the order.

I'm not saying cultists are good. Just Conscripts are overcosted.

I haven't been able to get much use out if it compared to point cost when the MEQ kill count can beat by a Guardsman with a flamer.

its a great objective holder but 175 for one objective is a bit much.
>>
>>46889134
All the conversions I've ever seen require at the very least basic boyz models. Most good conversions require more bits or kits to make than just buying the regular kit. Sure I've seen pics of Mr. Potato Stompas before, but I'm pretty sure most of those predate the plastic Stompa kit.

GW should capitalize on that and release a Looted vehicle upgrade kit, with different rams, guns, turrets, wheels, and tracks to stick to other factions vehicles.

now are they more dangerous to space marines?

Conscripts don't have to buy their autoguns, have grenades, can be given orders, can neutralize morale problems more easily and can be given rending much more easily. Oh, and while it's usually not going to matter, they do have better armor than cultists do too.

Cultists are 5 points each if you want them to be useful (Read, have autoguns. Stock cultists are only useful for tar pitting and even then are super bad at it).

More like Iron Chaplains.
>>
>>46889715
>social inequality
It's a park. The attributing factors are a competent police force and social workers. Furthermore, this wasn't something we were "born into."

I was born in a farm in the worst parts of central California. My parents said, "Fuck this, we aren't raising our kids here," carefully chose a better area, and moved the fuck out.

If making good life decisions is "privilege," then yeah, down with the pro-thinking parents.
>>
>>46889805
>the area you live in isn't born into

Gentrification is absolutely a part of social justice. Just because you only know the buzzword meaning of SJW doesn't mean that's all it is.
>>
>>46889805

You didn't work hard or earn or even deserve what you got. That's fucking privilege. You didn't do shit, you moron, your parents did it for you. It's no different than being born to rich parents.

Some people can't afford to move to safer neighborhoods. They're stuck in their shitholes. That's fucking lack of privilege. Like I said, I'm not an SJW, but YOU'RE A FUCKING RETARD.
>>
>>46889792
Is there a chapter tactic/special that give their sergeants the zealot rule and access to croziuses. That would be cool for the Iron chaplains .
>>
>>46889931
That might actually be rather strong as far as chapter tactics go. Giving everything Zealot tied to the sergeants is already very solid, but letting them all buy an Invuln save is great.

Bonus points if you give them all Power Mauls to go with it.
>>
>>46889922
>They're stuck in their shitholes
not him, and no they aren't. there is plenty of examples of people who are born is shit conditions and then worked hard and moved up in life.
look at andrew carnagie, look at steve jobs, look at J.K. Rowling, look at Oprah, look at all the descendants of the poor European immigrants like the Irish who came to America. people can and do overcome being born into shit conditions all the time
>>
>>46889985
I meant sergeants could wield the Crozius arcanum weapon, not the rosarius invuln save.. Thats OP
>>
>>46890086
Okay, I got mixed up there. I was thinking it was a bit of a ridiculous suggestion.

Is there a big difference between a Crozius and a Power Maul though?
>>
>>46889792
>>46889931
>>46889985
>>46890086

I'd say you could replace sergeants with Chaplains for x points, sort of like how the Red Scorpions replace theirs with Apothecaries for free.

And then an extra rule or two, and you'd have some pretty cool Chapter Tactics.
>>
>>46890132

making the sarges mini chaplains seems fluffier. and the major point cost of the chaplain is the invuln save which the sergeant shouldn't have.. Maybe the if the Warlord is a Chaplain HQ unique character chapain sarges great Preffered enemy.

>>46890126
Crozarius is AP4 S+1 I think

>Some people can't afford to move to safer neighborhoods. They're stuck in their shitholes
Some people don't try. I work part time in a restaurant and I moved myself and my girlfriend into an apartment in a nice neighborhood. My brother works retail and did the same when he got his girl pregnant.

If you can afford $1,200 a month, you can get out of hell and into a safer area alone or with an other. If your other also works, it's so much easier. If you've got more family to carry with you, it will take a bit of saving and smart work, but you are never stuck, and it's never impossible. It's just that those idiot families need their shit used cars that always break and wrack up bills, their living commodities like smart phones and tvs, and just never work on ways to save moeny and close leaks. Two of my co-workers, people with my same job, wage, and living expenses (I know theirs exactly because they constantly ask for my advice), are in $5k and $7k debt respectively, because they don't think about what they're buying. This isn't privilege. It's just bothering to think things through, especially regarding purchases.

And I blow all this money on 40k of all fucking things without endangering my livelihood.

>>46889976
S-Sorry. This is my last post on it, I promise. No matter what, I'll stay on topic after.
>>
>>46890132
Hmmm... Perhaps replace sergeants with Chaplains for 70-80 points? Still get a discount this way, and if you wanted to fit a chaplain in your army, you could just stick him with your Tacticals?

>>46890267
True enough.
>>
>>46890302
>can afford $1,200 a month, you can get out of hell and into a safer area alone or with an other.
in the city I live in, you can't even rent a shithole for 1200 a month.

1 bedroom apartments are going for 3000 a month in the facility across the street

Except it's not instantaneous you moron. Until they actually move out, they're still part of the "JESUS CHRIST WHERE YOU GUYS LIVE" camp, you fucking idiot.

Not to mention the other moron is a stupid ass kid who was BORN into a better area.
>>
>>46889931
Sergeants already have access to Power Mauls, which are identical in profile to the Crozius.
>>
>>46890430

>>46890364
I think letting them buy Zealot is easier. Less fiddly that way.

That alone is a very nice bonus. Anything else would have to be rather minor.
>>
>>46882809
Suppose an ork with really high score in bluff and deception managed to sneak aboard the neophyte program, blaming his green skin on eating to many broccolis in the name of the emperor etc, and then undergo the final process to become an astartes.

How dangerous would he be? Taking into account he will continue growing stronger, bigger, and smarter for each battle he survives in the chapter, requiring ever larger power armor.
>>
>>46890470
dude GW pricing comes up every other post, and it is impossible to call something "expensive" without talking about socioeconomic status
>>
>>46890442
Neither does the Crozius? They are literally the same weapon with different names.

Apparently these guys are an Executioners successor chapter.
>>
>>46890523
I know, but anon was asking for:

>Is there a chapter tactic/special that give their sergeants the zealot rule and access to croziuses.

croziuses are nothing special, but zealot is fairly good, or at least GW thinks so since dark apostles are 110 points. maybe dark apostles are so expensive since they also have demagogue, but that rule doesn't do enough to be useful
>>
>>46890476
Zealot within 12" of an IC could work as a CT...
>>
>>46890523
In an All chaplain Chapter all Power mauls would be crozius. Doesn't affect gameplay but it's a fun fluff bit.

Should the cost of crozius be reduced for this chapter is that OP when stacked with zealot on sargs.

Honestly Zealot isn't all that great on marines. IMO
>>
>>46890481
He would be a new primarch in a hundred years.
>>
>>46890634
Yeah, that was exactly my point when I was pointing out that sergeants can already get mauls.
You model each one as a stick with a banner-topper on it and voila, all your sergeants have a 'Crozius Arcanum' (tm)
>>
>>46890481
>>46890645
So How many Imperial fists would he team kill on the way to the top?
>>
>>46890696
I don't think he will be stupid enough to team kill, even if he had outrageous amounts of bluff and deception skill.

I wonder, if he was mortally wounded, and then interred in a dreadnought, would he continue to grow in there? Seeing as orks can survive pretty much any surgery and be completely fine.

"Oy brotha git, dis dreddy too small, also, re-bless my dakka"
>>
>>46890757
>I don't think he will be stupid enough to team kill

this is an Ork right?

Sargent Orkicus's squad breaks and mob rule kicks in and he smashes a couple 'eads
>>
>>46890481
Named 'Alf'

Short for Alpharius. Not that da puny git needs to be any shorter, amirite!
>>
>>46890792
I mean, the premise is already outrageous, so I suppose you are justified in saying this will happen, but I don't think he will survive that. Killing his fellow brothers would probably break his cover, except maybe if he was in the angry marines chapter.
>>
>>46890481
>Stuffing extra vital organs such as lungs, hearts, and other bio implants in an ork which barely needs them anyway
He would be absolutely unkillable.

The problem.
>>
>>46890997
They really should kill of the d6 system now. it's not like normal people play mini wargames anyway, most of them would own other type of dice.
>>
So I'm brainstorming ideas for a small Ork force. A few people in my group are planning to build one on the side, so I thought I'd get in on the fun.

My idea for the force was a looting theme. I'm probably going to do some conversions for it.

What I have so far is a Big Mek with a squad of Lootas in a Battlewagon. The Big Mek gets Mega armor so the Lootas can fire out of it with their guns, and he can repair it and maybe give it a force-field.

Then I was going to add a Looted Wagon with some Burnas in it, swapping one or two for Meks there as well.

The things I'm debating are adding in a Renegade Knight, and what to do for troops.
>>
>>46891029
>kill off D6
>not bring back 2D6
>>
>>46891462
2d6 is good but it slows thing down when you need to do each marine's armour saved separately.

I don't think I've ever played a game where a D10 is in use and I'm not sure I'd want to.
>>
>>46891620
The only people with enough D10s to play 40k if it moved to D10 are Exalted players.
>>
>>46891677
So GW brand D10 announced when?
>>
>>46889078
>New Mob Rule even remotely approaching OK

Why do Guard get to kill ONE 3-4 point model to auto-pass LD checks while Orks have to lose up to 6 six point models with four separate conditional modifiers and still possibly fail the check?

Negative. New Boss Poles are +1 LD, deal 1 wound no saves to pass.
>>
Anyone have scans from Renegade yet? I want to print the Renegade Knight rules out but ain't shelling out for a copy.

>we should no longer support creativity and modelling as part of this hobby
What happened?
>>
>>46891384
I run a Death Skulls Ork army with a heavy looting theme. For my troops I run shoots boyz in trukks made out of Looted rhinos and shit. I modeled them with eavy armor but I rarely run them that way. Trukks blow up real easy and people know that, but if you have a lot of them you can shield your prized units behind a wall of soft targets, and let the survivors limp over to hold some objectives. And if they ignore the trukk mobs then hey I guess you can assault with them.
>>
>>46892462
it's bait
>>
>>46892462
GW realized they couldn't sell models that way, and so cut out their conversion tips from White Dwarf as well as a lot of the wargear options that required converting on Orks, CSM, and Tyranids.

You can't have X with Y because GW didn't sell an X kit with Y in it.
>>
>>46891533

Buy pairs of colour-coded dice?
Black, white, ivory, green, red, blue, orange, yellow, purple, grey, pink, brown and metallics, etc? Then, if necessary, move on to speckled or translucents?
>>
>>46892505
That sounds like it would fit in rather well. I may end up sticking a Mek with each squad just for fluff.

I think that'd be a good place to take some extra Rokkits as well for a bit more anti-tank. As it stands I don't have many good ways to deal with high AV.
>>
>>46886183
Well, it says that they don't count as friendly units for that, but since the Auger Array says any unit that you have the ability to bring in from reserve, I'd say that you can use it for any units in your army.
>>
>>46888206
>Nerfed Rending
I don't play Orks, but considering how it's the elite models that get Big Choppas, I'd have no problem letting them have full rending.
