Let's start this thread off with some updated Bingo.
This time the Free Squares are BUSTY ROUGH RIDERS, and TAU HATE.

Repostan:
Friend and I have been doing 1,5k points and we're wanting to slow down a bit so we can play multiple games a day instead of just one, so we're halving it to 750 points.
Is there any basic guide on important units for a list that small?
We're doing one game with Flyers and one game without Flyers.

It's called Horus Heresy 5: Imperial Cults and Militia
The option you're looking for is in the form of Abhuman Helots, so your entire army is Abhumans. Second choice of Providences is for personal flavor. Warrior Elite or Ferals, and model your centaurs as plate armoured warriors. Survivors of the Dark Age for futuristic centaurs in carapace armour with non-shitty weapons.
Just model your abhumans as Centaurs. Larger bases optional, but recommended.
>>47577805

muh dick
>>47577676
Wait, GW added rough riders back into the game?
>>47577813
Oh, the one from MWG, right?
>>47577833
I don't remember them ever leaving.
>>47577805
Actually, I can immediately think of a way to model this. Just buy the Snake Demon mini from Reaper Bones, and chop the entire torso off, then add Guard or Sisters torsos to it. Cheap Lamia Abhumans for only an extra 2$ a model.
HATE TAU
>>47577846
>wasting a metal SOB torso on fapbait
I might be a thrice damned traitor but even I find that offensive.
>>47577758
Focus mostly on your Troops if you want to have a well balanced, casual game. Give your troops lots of toys and stocked transports, and fill out all of your slots.
Fuck all of this nonsense about unbound and formations, just do a CAD with 6 troop slots used up, before you ever spend anything on support.
>>47577934
> Not approving wholly of monstergirl guard regiments

>>47577836
They aren't in 6th edition Astra Militarium
>>47577957
6 troops at 750 is a bit much
>>47577970
you make a good point, wanna lead my next black crusade?
>>47578012
Already on it. My first paycheck from the new job will go to making Monstergirls in Power Armour. I'll have 6 squads of 20 grenadiers forming the basis of my army. One squad will be felinids, one squad of lamias, and one squad of centaurs.
I have no idea what to do the future ones as..
>>47577970
apart from the RH and grishnak ones, who's selling decent SoB models?

You want to put money on that?

Chaos has really been lowering the standard on what it takes to command legions lately
>>47577676
So we are just going to keep making new generals earlier and earlier so we can force the OP images AGAIN! No matter if people are discussing or waiting for advice. Jesus christ at least wait for 400, people can find you on the 9th page just fine. Who doesn't use the catalog?

This is the definition of faggotry, beyond even that of the tau.

You're right my memory was completely off. Maybe I thought that since they stopped selling them they no longer existed. Either way it doesn't change anything.

The beeeest part of waking up, is sisters in your cuuuup.
I'm leaving for my first game soon /tg/. I'm sort of nervous. I'll try and take pictures for you guys, but it might be weird for the new guy to do something like that so idk.
>>47578315
If any of your army is unpainted, expect an unholy amount of retribution from /tg/ even though your opponent is probably 100% fine with it. That said, go for it, it'll bring some on-topic quality back to this general.
>>47578315
just have fun. there's a lot of rules to remember, tactics, models and etc so just enjoy the moment
>>47578345
The army I'll be using for 850 points is 95% painted. Just one of the bases isn't done and some weapons aren't finished.
>>47578368
Absolutely disgusting. What kind of army are you playing, might I ask?
>>47578345
>>47578368
Please say Monstergirl Guard regiment.
Today I went to GW for the first time in years with my SoB.
Expecting to get absolutely assmangled, I built a list I thought was decent for 1650 (told that was their standard points). Went with MSU sisters, 3 dominions, 2 exorcists, 3 Pen Engines.
However; I played some space wolf guy, and all he brought was like 100 marines, footslogging.
Am I an asshole? I tabled him super early. Is this what I should expect at a GW?
>>47578457
Sisters are actually quite strong when played correctly.
Also, 1650? Never heard of it.
>>47578111
>that filename
>>47578457
Sisters are really great when you just use them as Discount Space Marines. Just stay out of melee and spam the everloving shit out of AP3/2.
Also, 1650 is something I've never heard of either. Where the fuck do you live that people use that points level?
>>47578457
Nearly tabled my Iron Hands opponent yesterday with SoB at 1850 points. Although with 20-something Meltas against three Land Raiders probably isn't that impressive.
>>47578518
>>47578498
I thought it was weird too, but whatever. Stops people bringing lists they saw online I guess.
Should I really expect people to be that bad at the game though? I used to homeschool a group of 11 year olds and even they made army lists that were better than his.
>>47578518
>spam the everloving shit out of AP3/2.
I don't think Sisters get any AP2 or AP3 at all. Combi-plas, I guess?
>>47578548
100-marine lists CAN be good, but you really need to know what the fuck you're doing. It's practically mandatory that all of them have special weapons, such as Lascannons and Plasma Cannons.
A gladius makes them better too, since free rhinos and razorbacks adds another layer that your enemy needs to peel through in order to get to the meat of the army.
I've also played against a 100-man space wolf list as my Raptors. Not a single one of his assaulty marines ever got to melee, as they were all shot to death by rending bolters, plasma guns, plasma cannons, and lascannons before they even got halfway across the table.
>>47578577
they only have melta, bolter, flamer options
>>47578457
well done morley bro?
>>47578548
I can run CSM mobs and win, especially with the new formations. Woofs would have an easier time, but he still fucked it up.
Not everyone is general patton.

This fucking thing still isn't open. It's been nearly 3 weeks since warhammer fest as well!
>>47578457
Bringing nothing but footslogging tacticals is retarded for anyone, especially Space Wolves. Unless he had some Long Fangs/Blood Claws in there, but Blood Claws still need transports.
>>47578208
>Implying 3D model girls aren't the best girls
Inventive Necron Strategies I am trying out:
Squad of three sentry pylons with Obyrn or a cryptek with veil of darkness. Turn 1 deep strike your str 10 ap 1 multishot artillery into range and nuke field. Can take both of the teleporting options in big games and attack with two sets of arty.
Living Tomb formation with several squads of scythe lychguard on the field. Drop monoliths midfield, enemy has to decided between being destroyed in melee or trying to stop more of your army from gating in. Basically shores up the weakness of both lychguard and monoliths.
>>47578040
>Felinids
But anon, their planet is under quarantine!
>>47578683
not him, pal!
>>47578739
it was his standard army list he said, has been using it for a while
>>47578780
there was some blood claws I think? 2 attack base ones. He had a rune priest in one of the squads but penitent engines charged it and splatted him
Looking for advice on a Hellforged Hunting Pack list. 2000 pts, I'm missing 45 points. Allies are a possibility, but I don't know what to re arrange tofit them in. Current list:
Brass Scorpion (700)
2x Blood Slaughterer with Impalers (135 ea)
Forgefiend with Hades Autocannons, additional Ectoplasma cannon (205)
Heldrake with baleflamer 170
2x Maulerfiend with Lasher Tendrils 140 ea
2x Soul Grinder with Phlegm 165 ea
Total 1955. I have KDK and CSM I could ally with them, but I can't fit them in atm.
>>47578908
> felinids under quarantine
> Implying they aren't a highly desired companion race for inquisitors and rogue traders
> Implying anyone in high standing wouldn't want to buy an adorable catgirl to sit in their lap and be adorable.
Also, come to think of it. I could probably just use the Centaurs as Heavy Weapon teams. Forgeworld's Mars Pattern bolters have extra long ammo belts. I could totally have centaurs lugging these around as a one girl heavy weapon team.

If you like pina collatas...
I want to make a jimmy buffet themed ork list.
I want to give all the orks Hawaiian shirts and tie-dies, have them all wearing swim trunks and sipping on pina collatas and margaritas.

What? They get AP1 and AP4-6. Apart from Combi-Plasmas on your Sisters Superior and a Plasma Pistol on your Canoness, there's no AP2 in the entire army.
can you're list handle two land raider redeemers?

> Mongolian throat singing board
Wut?
>>47579268
It was quite awhile ago. And I don't have the pictures of it anymore. Pretty soon I'm going to make my own attempt at BUSTY.
>>47579303
Oh, good point. I'd forgotten because of how garbage both of those units are.
I can't really get a read on dark eldar. Are they OP? Do they need nerfed?
>>47579228
>I didnt get a critic last thread
Sometimes that means there's nothing to say
Should deff dreads or killa kans be elite choices?
>>47579349
You might be brain-damaged, I'd go in for an MRI if I were you.
>>47579349
>>47579364
Neither are very elite, but yeah it would make more sense for them being elites rather than everything being clumped up in the HS slot.
>>47579096
Exorcist missiles are AP3. They also have AP2-3 power weapons if that counts.
>>47579228
'eavy armor is kind of a point sink.
You might want to split this into two CAD's, as this will give you more options.
>>47579372
>>47579383
so are they crap? do they need a buff?
>>47579465
dELDAR are shit right now. They're glass cannons that rely on mobility to survive, but instantly lose all of their killing power the moment they move and get shot at. Also, AV10 2hp open-topped vehicles all across the board.
>>47579465
they're kinda fucked because open topped is a major disadvantaged right now with vehicle damage and the FAQ about jinking.
The covenant rules work okay, but the main armies 'use mobility to make up for fragility' doesn't work because they aren't actually as mobile, and what they have doesn't make up for their fragility.
A good special detachment could do a lot to help them, but right now they fall apart too easily.
>listening to mongolian throat singing
>capture says, "Select Mountains"
>>47579423
they're ap1
>>47579465
They need a different edition. So many core rules screw over how they're meant to work.

why no burnas?

40 Necron Warriors
10 Immortal
8 Lychguard
3 Tomb Blades
2 Overlords
Orikan
Obyron
2 Doom/Night Scythe
2 Ghost Ark
2 Annihilation Barges
2 Monolith
1 Doom Ark
1 old Metal Lord
All assembled and primed silver.
Makes painting the arks a bitch.
Worth $500?
Also has codex.
Currently I have the start collecting box.
Out of all the available/current Chapter Tactics, which ones would you use for the Traitor Legions and Warbands?
>>47579616
Executioners. All of your Sergeants can now ID people in challenges, so go pretend you're all chaos champions.
Aside from only being able to assault one thing at a time, why is green tide bad?
>>47579616
Carcharodons
>>47579616
Carcharodons- World Eaters.
Imperial Fists or Iron Hands- Iron Warriors. Not too sure about this one, leaning towards Iron Hands.
Those are just off the top of my head, can't remember the other chapter tactics right now, and I don't know too much about the other Warbands/Traitors.
>>47579580
I think you did quite well, anon.
>>47579667
You can multi-assault anon, its a disorganized charge but your green tide could, in perfect scenario, assault the entire army in one phase.
>>47579667
and only score one objective at a time
and, at the end of it, is still just ork boys
>>47579711
That is a good point. I mean strictly speaking, 10 units of boyz allows 300 of them, so it's not farfetched to have the mass cover the board and pushing the enemy to the table edge.
>>47579698
Yeah I added it up on the site too but idk how pricing usually goes for already assembled armies.
If I do buy it I won't be getting new models anytime soon but I would have a huge army that I can try to paint.
>>47579752
But that's just the problem. A good player can deploy at his table edge, and move 5/6" back to keep the orks out of range for 4 turns straight. Even longer as he keeps killing models, until your horde falls apart.
>>47579755
Do it, anon. If you bought all this from an LGS that gives you discounts, and the max I've ever seen is 30%, that's still almost #$600. Sure, some of the painting will be harder, but you've spared yourself the hell of building Necron stuff.
Ok 40k General. GW has put you in charge of the next supplements for your favorite faction. Your job is to make it so that it can both fox your faction, but do so in a fluffy way. Like legion tactics and formations for CSM, or something similar. What faction is the supplement for and how does it fix ir make better said faction in a fluffly way? The more detailed description, the better
So what are some problem units for Dark Eldar? I just went over their troop choices and they seem solid.
You should really split your ork list into two CADs, then you can put your buggies in MSU formation.
>>47579846
fragile for their cost, lack of real useful firepower
>>47579838
>Codex Supplement: Tau Empire - Xenos Allies
Pretty self explanatory. Features lots of other types of Xenos with tiny formations to help make a less mech-oriented Tau Army. Possibly some Water Caste representatives, too?
>Codex Supplement: Dark Eldar - Kabals and Cults of the Dark City
Features "chapter tactics" for specific Kabals and Wych Cults and formations with bonuses for mixing and matching them according to fluff.
>>47579891
>lack of real useful firepower.
Going to disagree there.
The basic troops are rather limited, but that's true of most basic troops.
trueborn, scourges, reavers all get good weapons. The incubus weapon is just fine, they just need grenades or a rule that works like grenades. The vehicles all have decent guns.
Overpriced, and limited ability to make up for their fragility, that I will give you.
>>47578053
I was looking at Horus' rules the other day, and something occurred to me: Abbadon is shit at the Talon of Horus. He's had it for 10,000 years and he still can't use it properly.
>>47579799
Honestly, sounds like half the painting is done already if they're primed silver.
>>47579993
True. Which makes it even more of a value unless he wants to paint a non-silver Dynasty.
>>47579838
Old Cron supplement.
Large faction of Necrons who still worship the C'tans and are putting the shards back together. Their sworn enemies are the Silent King, Eldar and Orks.
No bugs, no little bony skimmers. Their monoliths are immune to melta and lance effects and replace their current guns with the Doomsday Arks gun (but cost 300 pts).
Necron Lords are no longer HQs but come with warrior and immortal squads, which are now max sized ten larger each.
Heavy weapon teams with tesla destructors as foot weapons.
>>47579838
Update of Iyanden supliment.
Go back to old Distort rules, and make the Wraithknight cost 400pts. These now become the official rules for those units because it's the most recent rules for them.
Wraithlord gets an option paying 20pts to become jump monsterous creature, but then can't take any heavy guns.
Formation of Avatar and Wraithblades and jump lord. Avatar can join the unit of Wraithblades, and wraithblades within the avatars aura get fleet as well.
Formation of Hemlocks, that gives a base 5+ cover save and rerolls on their spirit stones.
>>47579906
>Water Caste representatives
>tfw fielding an army of WOLOLO and having the enemy fight itself
Sounds awesome
>>47580113
Exactly. Or have them provide Ethereal-like minibuffs that "encourage" the Xeno allies to perform well.
>>47580033
As long as all that comes with the old phase out rule, that sounds sweet.
>>47579838
Codex and index Astartes supplement.
First half is written like the codex Astartes, mainly to outline the tactics and such the marines use, as well as present different "tactica" which are psuedo-formations (the good kind with lots of options, so more like the cron or marine formations, not the ork kind), however they involve both the way you deploy and how you play as well as the units you take, but gives you bonuses for that.
Like a steel rain tactica. It has normal unit requiments, but also requires you to hold half your forces in deep strike, but gives bonuses for that.
The index Astartes would be like the angels of death supplements, but for famous chapters that aren't first founding, like black templars, crimson fists, blood ravens etc. as well as first founding that don't have much support, like the dark and blood Angels and the space wolves.
It would also give different ways for creating and fleshing out custom chapters and their tactics and such.
>>47580140
I can dig it. anything that isn't suitspam I'm all for.
>Tau Empire: The Bold and the Brave/Kauyon (couldn't come up with a better name)
All foot infantry, and drones. Expanded drone section too. The only suit available is the stealthsuit. The codex focuses on altering the battlefield, sneaky tactics, planting boobytraps and IEDs and essentially battlefield control and sabotaging enemy wargear like disabling jumppacks temporarily or causing them to roll d6 to move instead of a defined 6" range. Drones that affect the environment/current cover, or even create cover.
Wargear section is rife with stealthy or sniper-y doohickeys for optimum sneakan.
>>47579268
Yeah, I bought imperial knight renegade, started that project with a ton of magnetising/custom work, then got completely sidetracked onto an Anvil Strike Force with dreads and tank squads, sorry.
I have all the parts for Project Busty, but have been severely neglecting it.
>>47580085
I'd go even further. Make the supplement the angels of death equivalent for the major craftworlds.
>>47580229
I'd be in.
Sam hains core requires them to take multiple Vypers, but give the vypers an actual good upgrade. Also jetbikes are back to 1 special weapon per 3, this is not the most recent rule, therefor official.
Ulthwe core makes you take warlocks with all your guardian squads, but gives them some bonus.
Biel-Tan core is dire avengers and autarch, with bonus. A few extra things like dire avenger shrine but for other aspects.
Alaitoc: formations and detachments that reward taking lots of rangers.
Anyone hear anything about the new Battle for Vedros set coming out in Europe? I wanna put the Orkz I bought to good use.
>>47580409
Nope. But apparently GW may start selling forge world stuff in their stores, so theres that.
>>47577693
so I have been stuck in /pol/ for the last 3 months what was that thing about busty rough riders?
>>47579990
Tzeentch, the Talon has been degraded over the years through use and living in the Eye, and it's too big for Abby's hand to fit in it. He has to keep it from slipping off. One guy has made a suggestion.
>>47580451
Refer to the following:

>>47577753
>>47577820

>>47577791
Battle for vedros.
Gw's only selling it to independent retailers, so good luck finding it Get your LGS to stock it?
>>47580533
You didn't notice that those are Horus's arms on Abby? An Anon made that edit after I said that maybe Lord Topknot could have ripped one of Horus's arms off, and grafted it to himself to get better at using the Talon.

>>47580575
It's a pretty big deal over there.
Especially since the EU is becoming more and more controlling, passing stuff like pic related.
I'm assuming your talking about striking scorpion.
While I haven't watched the video yet, what suprises you about a brit talking about perhaps one of the most important political events that has occurred in this century for britian?
It's some what like if, say, texas, was voting to leave the union. Not a perfect comparison, but it goves you somewhat of an idea.
I've always wanted to know why are the shining spears the only path that doesn't have a Pheonix Lord?
Can we make one already!?
>>47580595
They already added Catgirls:
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Felinid
And besides, 40k is already huge enough of a setting, and with room for fans to add on shit, that who is to say there ISN'T already busty centaur chicks running around and shooting heretics with lasguns?

Don't know what crimson hunters are must be out of the loop now.
>>47580678
Yeah, my mistake

They have one in fluff: Drastanta - The Tempest of Starlight. I yearn for the day PLs get a big forgeworld release with updated rules and models. Sick of PLs having dwarven ass models from the 80s and a worse statline than a generic succubus.

>Thousand Sons CSM Supplement
- psykers with MoT must take half their powers rounded down from lore of Tzeentch
- un-shittify lore of Tzeentch so that taking spells from it is actually useful, make it a mind bullet & support-type lore
- Tzeentch primaris power is a 2-shot ap3 autocannon with 24" range, giving sorcerors something useful to do always
- sorcerors can also take spells from Malefic, Pyromancy, Biomancy, or Telepathy, and always know the primaris of lores they take spells from (this means that a ML 3 1k Sons sorcerer lord knows 5 spells, 1 Tz + Tz primaris, 2 other + other primaris
- MoT mandatory, provides Tz primaris power for free, +1 to invulnerable, reroll all ones always
- units of rubric marines and rubric terminators are led by aspiring sorcerors, who are ML2, cultists can buy them as a sergeant upgrade
- aspiring sorcerors leading units of rubrics can choose to exchange up to half of their known spells for spells from the lore of the rubric, which is a lore that exclusively buffs units of rubrics and could provide stuff like relentless, ignores cover, boosted invulnerable save, etc.
>HQs:
Ahriman
1k Sons sorcerer lords
- ML3 always
- taking terminator armor allows them to make one unit of rubric terminators troops
>Elites:
Rubric Terminators
- minimum squad size 4 models, 1 is an aspiring sorceror in terminator armor
Chosen
- brotherhood of psykers, every 2 sorcerors generate one warp die/mastery level, the unit caps at ML3
- unit size caps at 9
- can only take spells from MoT but each sorceror allows for an additional roll on the table
>Troops
Rubrics
- basically unchanged, slight points reduction
- mandatory 2 troops from the CAD MUST be rubric marines
Cultists
- stats/price unchanged
- unit champion can be upgraded to aspiring sorceror for however many points brings their cost to 80
- sorceror can sacrifice a cultist to reroll a failed psychic die in the psychic phase

So what do Rogue Traders do?
>>47581288
Stuff
>>47581288
99% of them are undercover inquisitors. The rest trade stuff.
>>47581288
They do a variety of things. Here's an example of what a rogue trader is expected to do.
> Buy catgirls to serve as household pets
> Sell catgirls to distant planets that are lacking in catgirls
> Create a burgeoning catgirl-trading empire in the ass-end of the universe, making trillions of thrones in the process
> using said trillions of thrones to create a dynasty of catgirl-trading assholes that lives until the end of time on gold-leafed bread personally inscribed by the left pinkie toe of saints.
What's your opinion on allying Knights with xeno armies?
Not like Orks or Tyranids because that's stupid but would you fight an army that allies a knight with Dark Eldar?

As a TS player, I like this a lot. Sorcs needs some love, It's only now with the Cyclopia Cabal that I can actually run some Sorcs that don't suck shit and I have to keep them unaligned for them to be decent. and they still cost 500~ points for 5 dudes..

Honestly their backstory makes sense, and I wish they had more background. I mean their main two battles that they talked about are epic - defending their first homeworld against 'nids, getting kicked off their planet, then doing it again more successfully is great and all but I want to hear about how different companies have defended those holdings the Admech deemed important enough for Astartes support.
That and their chapter organization must be very different from more orthodox Chapters when it comes to ranks and rituals.

The rogue trader might just BE the catgirl, or take an eldar as his/her waifu. Rogue traders do whatever the fuck they want, they literally have a document signed by the God Emperor Himself saying that they can do whatever the fuck they want. Some rogue traders are even so rich that they could have an entire ship following them around, that's dedicated solely to his harem of hundreds of thousands of catgirls.

Can I use regular space marine codex if I decide to paint and field my dangels from Dark Vengeance as a successor chapter or do successors have to use their parent chapter?
>>47582189
>>47582893
You're sort of supposed to use the DA codex for DA successors but the regular marine codex works fine if you're not interested in any of the DW/RW specific stuff. Actually better in the case of the angels of absolution, as they canonically use sternguard which obviously cannot be used with the DA codex.
>>47582930
I just didn't want to get stuck with them if I end up not liking them, thanks. Friend and I are planning 500 point games, we're going half in to buy all the 7E codexes and we're going to use the minis as counts as til we figure out what we wanna play.
I'm actually really interested in the DAngels "plasma gun line" build (atleast that's what it seems like) but I didn't want to get stuck with 80 bucks worth of unused minis if I don't like Dangels
>>47582054

>>47583053
>>47582981
You two are going to buy ALL the codices?? Shit man just get them from the OP and save yourself a shitload of cash.
If you want to do the DA "greenwing" gunline you probably want to build yourself into a demi-company formation, it's the best way to make use of your tactical squads and the extra ballistic skill for overwatching can allow you to play pretty aggressively against assault focused armies. Plus if you do end up not liking DA then the units all translate over to vanilla space marine lists.
I'm running out of shit to change. I feel like I made a well balanced rules update list. Unfortunately, a good comprimise leaves everybody unhappy, but hopefully we can get some support and see if we can't get people to compromise and start using it for casual games.
Unfortunately, a good compromise makes everybody unhappy. If I put it to a poll I don't think I'd get much support.

Thanks for having my back against the "Space Marines are mutants" meme, m8.
While I'm obviously a big fan of the "the stalwarts of humanity against tides of daemomic and alien evil are inherently inhuman" irony of Space Marines, it's silly to use the term "mutant" when it doesn't fit either in real life, nor in canon for what a mutant is

I guess it depends on what the Magos Biologis define as evolution in the 41st millenium, but by 21st century standards it's inherently separate for heritability, as you point out.
Personally I'd love someone whose very knowledgeable on physics, biology, chemistry, fiction and humour to take a leading role in 40k fluff writing, but for now, we have what we got, which isn't much of any of the aforementioned
>>47583382
> Space marines don't pass on their traits
Someone has obviously not read how space marines are created. They literally reproduce asexually, by stealing the children of their host organism, and implanting the genes of a dead space marine into the child. These heavily modify how the child develops, effectively turning them into more space marines.
it may not be reproduction as we humans understand it, but it essentially IS reproduction to space marines.
okay, added a poll.
Tell me where to stuff it.
