Ethnic Cleansing Edition
Thread Guy returns to the Wendigo Isles to slumber and feed Sub-Edition
In the last thread we talked about SoH's power levels, Thread Guy's mechanicum got fluffed, the legions competed about which one could genocide better, nostraman and chaotic alphabets were posted, Munitorum containers got rules and Curze was hiding inside one. Request orders for Dreadtitan Stormodons and Colonic Irrigators were issued, God was confirmed as an ass-lover, we had an argument about Plasma Support vs Veteran tacticals and we were sheathing our tanks in steel but the Blood Ravens stole that and much more in the last thread >>47668504

I wonder if FW considers casualties to be killed in action or if casualties is being used correctly to define both killed and wounded in action.

Straight up losing 78% of your men as killed in action seems wasteful even by Iron Warrior standards, especially considering their penchant for mathematics and probably viewing unnecessary/wasteful losses as inefficient.

Dude, the Temporaferrox are the Hrud. Simply surviving them is already a victory of its own. And they won.
I bet the Hrud attack was how they discovered that the IW's geneseed caused the long bones to bend as the marines grew several centuries old. Because that's how the survivors got left.
Astartes biologically ~600+ years old in a Crusade that had started barely 200 years ago.

We also had a stronk Archmagos (T7 W4 S10 chainfist), and a IM character and a DG librarian were due.
The BA Praetor is new (?), but it's the most broken thing ever. I like him already.

Yes, I wanted to use those characters. Back when we mentioned them (the "League of Extraordinary Characters") we kinda placed them on one of their good endings:

All of them on the same side, with sweet DTs and in the Autek-Kyr fleet, but that's one of the many endings they can have.

>All of them on the same side
Can Shattered Legion take allies? If so.
>Blood Angel or World Eater praetor as warlord
>Two of the following (IF dude, EC champion, DG Librarian)
>Allied with IM, SA, or AM characters

EC could also be given the EC relic in addition to his charnabal sabre giving him the choice of +1 I and rending or 2++ and AP 3. I don't think the fists dude benefits from any particular consul rules and his only benefit from being a praetor over a champion is the extra wound.

I would actually like the idea of them splitting up during the heresy some supporting their legion, some turning against their legion. EC vs WE would be hilarious (EC dodging everywhere while the World Eater yells like a madman trying to catch him), and BA vs Archmagos would be pretty brutal (can the BA throw out enough wounds to kill the Archmagos before he squishes him with a chainfist).

Also since a chainfist and eviscerator almost have the same rules you could always give the archmagos a paragon blade and chainfist modeled as an eviscerator, give him extra arms and make him go full General Grievous, as tall as a primarch with thin spindly limbs.

Now that would be awesome to see.
Yeah, I envisioned that Archmagos (Radigan) as a fuckhueg (T7 is Castellax/Mortarion toughness), albeit slender Malagra dude (+1WS, +1A, PE vs characters and MCs, Loyalist) equipped with a Paragon Blade, a Chainfist, a Rad Furnace and Rad grenades, among other stuff (like his Machinator Array and Abeyant).

Never fully fluffed him, so I rather do so.

He hails from a forge world with a very strong Ordo Reductor presence (lots of siege machines, two Ordinatii, their oathed Knight worlds have several Acheron suits), but he got stuck in a logical loop:

>"Who destroys the destroyer?"

As such he decided to specialize in the destruction of the most dangerous things he knew - his fellow Magi and Battle-Automata, ending up constructing himself a huge modular cyber-corpus and becoming what the Adeptus Mars would recognize as a Malagra.

He didn't actually kill his fellow Magi because his analysis and efforts towards destruction, specifically the ultimate erradication of all things INCLUDING the cycle of destruction itself ended up setting him free from the loop when he realized Destruction wasn't self-sustainable...not to mention he wasn't really a bad dude.

His world got discovered by the DG and he saw part of himself in them: Destroyers focusing their efforts to cleanse the galaxy of the enemies of man.

His fellow Magi, mainly Reductors, Ordinators and Myrmidon savants who ostracized him and repudied his ideas of destruction as a mere prelude to edification were all to happy to second him to the great crusade.

Back on that thread he teamed up with a DG librarian who would bear the Barbaran thurible while casting enfeeble, so that he could close in and Instant Death the squad due to inflicting -4T on them, killing 20-man squads and 2W termies at I10 without him even attacking, exterminated by his erradication aura.

On that iteration of The League, he would be under the command of Unification's SA character simply because he liked that guy and would often agree with his battle plan, even though he was about two centuries older than him.

He understands his role is to fight monsters and to endure where others can't.

I like this. So what are the characters' loyalties? Based on the interesting matchups I think that World Eater and Emperor's Children should be on different sides, and so should Blood Angel and Archmagos.

For the Emperor's Children champion my thoughts were something like this
>Recruited from a world that was recently liberated from xenos
>Even before receiving the geneseed he showed speed on par with an astartes
>After becoming an astartes he became even faster and developed into a natural swordsman
>Due to his inhuman speed superior to even a primarch rumors spread that he may in fact be partially of xenos or abhuman blood
>Regarded as perhaps the single best duellist humanity has but a pretty crappy actual fighter
>Might be able to defeat Sigismund in a duel to first blood but in an actual fight Sigismund would rip him in half
>Shows off in battle often mocking his opponents and dancing around them as he fights them
>Obsessed with romanticism in warfare and is completely baffled by the pragmatic legions like the Iron Warriors and Iron Hands
>Remained loyal because he began to see himself as some tragic hero "oh to be forced to make the ultimate decision. To decide between my brothers and father, or the Imperium I swore loyalty to."

One of the FW Warlord traits gives you instant death for one fight subphase. Headsman its the 4th choice in the melee advances table. So yeah effectively strength 6, each wound causes two wounds that must be saved separately and every wound causes instant death. Short of Sigismund and maybe some Salamanders praetor builds I doubt anyone could survive that one round.

Well besides primarchs and Scoria.

Ded killy. Now all he needs is to be run with the jump pack RoW so he can get +1I on the charge and do all that before his opponent has a chance to swing back at him.

>>47690295
>Fractal-Harrow Blade (Raven Guard Relic): Yet another S+1 Rending power sword (albeit not a specialist weapon, enjoy your +1A). Not the best, but for each wound caused by this weapon the weapon's BEARER (so all you need is to have it, FAQ confirms) is counted as two wounds for the purposes of assault results, meaning easier victories. Remember that Blood Angel OP sword of double-wounding? Well this one's just like that, but with worse AP, not master crafted, you need your opponent's permission to use it and the extra wounds are just pretending, not actual wounds. Too bad.

Not only do some relics suck, but that BA sword of double wounding is absolutely OP, as it effectively makes your praetor (4 + charge + digital weapon) * 2 = A12 on the charge, Master-Crafted, by the way.
As in he gets more attacks than fucking Angron, at presumably half the price.
Hell, it's even better than their own photonic blade relic.

That's a better approach, yeah.
Then the WE gets 8 WS8 attacks, the BA gets to use the op sword at effectively S6 and the Archmagos is regular S4 instead of S5
>>47691990
>That sounds interesting, details of what's in there?
It's "Your Dudes: The Rules", a very nice concept, albeit the Movement advances table is dumb and the Morale Advances are Melee mostly, so there are only two real tables:
Melee Advances and Command Advances.
I'd propose
>Movement Advances table
1.- Gain MTC
2.- Gain Scout. If he already has it, gain Acute senses
3.- +1" to move, run and charges
4.- Hit & Run
5.- +1 to cover
6.- The character and his unit can shoot and run in the same phase. If any of them wasn't able to run (Lumbering advance, Slow and Purposeful etc) or has any heavy/ordnance weapons, they run on 2D6 and discard the highest dice.

Aaaaw, to bad Aang Ron sperged out so soon. I always thought that, after De'Shea he only agrees to stay with his legion, but the efforts to remove his nails continues for some time, and after they failed and the legion decided instead to get their own nails, some more time had to pass in order for them to be developed and implemented.

It's not like they went "woah you have nails on your head? Sgt! Pass me my hammaer!".

I was hoping to be able to run a sort of miniquest but I wanted both the AL and non-crazed WE to be available, with the option to acquire the nails as a choice later in the campaign.

But maybe a little tweaking can be done? You wouldn't report to your Primarch after all (but they did changed some aspects of their legions, albeit Alpharius less so).

>>47692568
Superheavy benefits, but SA can field them better and have a reason to do so (their Russes aren't heavy).

Ah, alright. Nah, with the Defender I just like the model is all.

I already own a few Leman Russes, so I'm good when it comes to tanks. I'm thinking of maybe Tainted Flesh plus Feral Warriors, with the infantry taking as many CCWs as possible, and the tanks being the only shooters in the army. A little bit fluffy right there.

They even have a casualty table (correctly understanding it means both killed and wounded, like what happened to Azrael), and your character can be captured and you end up playing a rescue mission.

>Could make him an archmagos reductor, WS, BS, S, T 5 by default. Wargear options are a bit shittier but he has access to phosphex
It could work, albeit the he can't have both a Paragon blade and a chainfist (I could replace it with a regular power fist, and breacher charges are power fists on initiative) and can't have both a Rad furnace and a Machinator array (but he could bring a Scyllax retinue).
But at least he can shoot two armour ignoring weapons now (meltagun that Explodes! on a 4+, fuck forts!), so it may be even more fitting, and still be S5 T7 (albeit at WS5 base A2). And he hails from a Reductor world anyway, so yeah, it could work.

>>47693812
According to that, all the +1 covers are cumulative with shrouded except ruins. Oops
>>
>>47694013
Since they released a couple of Cataphractii upgrade kits specifically for the BaC plastics and changed all their weapon sets to have hands pre-attached to work better with BaC, they obviously want to push those plastics as the new standard.

Here's my tinfoil hat theory on why they haven't retrofitted bolt pistols, chainswords and jump packs into a BaC upgrade kit: the next box set will have plastic assault marines
>>
>>47694294
FW's stupid typos, man. That table is useless.
Move through cover alone trumps half of that table, and camaleoline fucks the other half (but stacks).

Also, I want to assume "Ferocious Escalade" (Melee advances #1) causes the enemy to test on 3D6 and discard the lowest, otherwise it actually improves the enemy's Ld, as they literally can't fail a test unless they are Ld5.

Are Reavers (or Justaerins) fluffy choice in a loyalist Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves army list? I know that they are allowed rules-wise, but due to the fluff in the LACAL and AoDL they are mentioned as replacing the usual Despoilers along with Chthonian ganger mentality supplanting the Terran heritage.
Would there even be any SoH/LW on loyalist side or would they more likely be blackshields?
>>
>>47695103
I use them because I'd rather have a hoard of assault marines moving 12" than a hoard of tacticals footslogging, and I already have a hoard of tacticals in a spartan. I also don't want another spartan. I haven't actually used them yet, so I can't say it's a great plan, but that's my logic
>>
>>47695503
Some definetly.

Just decide reavers are not reavers but loyalists that had to make do with what they had and are semi veterans :^).

Model him however you want, gamewise the chainfist was redundant anyway on a strength 10 character. The rad furnace isn't strictly neccessary anyway since he could still ID T6 MCs in single combat. IMO if you want him to be a general type character go Ordo Reductor, if you want him to be a super spooky dude make him the Malgara assassin.

So, the Word Bearers not only fucked up the setting, but also the tabletop?
>TRIGGERED
Won't have that, and apparently neither will FW

Campaigns are the closest thing to Historical Reenactments in the game, and even there there is huge flexibility on how you may play them and the nature of your forces.
Imagine what you are allowed to do on casual gaming...as long as your opponent agrees with you, that is.
The important thing is to have fun and hobby on, anons.

On threads past we had a Reverse-legion edition (and people seemed to like it), consisting of:

Traitor Ultramarines consisting mainly of Destroyers and other outcasts, painted in black with sgt red helmets, swapping out the laurels for thorns and following Aeonid Thiel's thesis on Astartes vs Astartes combat

Traitor Imperial fists (Crimson Gauntlets) who were even angrier Black Templars, started seeing the imperium as a lazy institution who had lost its way and ended up losing themselves to Khorne

Loyal Word Bearers (Imperial Heralds) using Layak's rules but fluffed them as using lots of DAoT stuff to perform their trademark Space Catholic's Ethnic Cleansing^2 ®, even going so far as to use Thunder Warrior-grade experimental augmentation (Gal Vorbak, Anakatii). But you never know with DAoT stuff...

Traitor Salamander newbies who understood the Promethean Cult wrong and focused on the flame aspect a little too much, using the Awakening Fire RoW and lots of Pyromancy librarians.

As in, we took the iconic loyalists/traitors and made them still make sense when their loyalties were inverted.

But past thread was pretty much "How 30k is exclusively a historical reenactment game and using Your Dudes is wrong: The Thread", so I understand nobody is going to like everything.

You sell them off because they can't sweep, can't run and have unwieldy weapons, which negate all of your legion bonuses.

If that's not an option, then:
>single lightning claw for "cheaper and shittier phoenix terminators"
>dual lightning claw for "shittier phoenix terminators that are slightly better against MEQ"
>chainfists for "incredibly slow anti-tank"
>chainfists and a phobos or spartan for "incredibly expensive anti-tank"
>chainfists and a dreadclaw for "incredibly unreliable anti-tank"

He'll demand you only play as EC or BA and cite it as you fighting the Megarachnids of Murder, which while superficially similar to Tyranids, are not the same species.

By the way, you were talking about using IM and LA together or something?
That's an Army of dark compliance, akin to the Tyrant's legion, found in book 6, not a RoW, srry.

Roll a toaster molester up and post the results, m8. Maybe turn him into a special character for a Mechanicum force.

Hmmm... Reading on their doesn't really have any useful advice for me.

Most likely, once I've built up my IG and shelled out money for the FW conversion kits, because those look amazing, I'll probably make some Word Bearers to lead these Cultists.
>>
Are Mhara Gal really that bad? Expensive, sure, but always forcing break checks with shooting if there's a casualty, reroll successful invulns in cc, effectively immune to flamers and to plasma from the front, ignores all terrain, getting hit on a 5+ by basically anything that isn't another Dreadnought or certain Primarchs. Are Word Bearers really that reliant on psykers that it's a huge hindrance?

Sup /hhg/ I'm thinking of starting a Raven Guard force, but not to sure on how to go about painting black so that is stands out, any hints?
>>
>>47700862
They're really overcosted. And since it hurts Daemons and Psykers, the only army they'll be hurting is themselves, as Burning Lore makes your guys Psykers, and your unqiue units are all Daemons. And your Primarch is also a Psyker.

So yes, it's bad.

>>47700942
Meme and more or less likely the whole Imperial Seccundus deal.

>>47700942
Two words.

Imperium. Secundus.

Two more words.

And. Memes.
>>
>>47700942
Because Guilliman's response to noticing that the Astronomicon had gone out and that a full half of his brothers had rebelled, was to try and establish order and stability within the Galactic East, rather than rushing to make sure Terra was okay, or to immediately take it back if it had fallen. He called this operation, Imperium Secundus. His detractors, including some of his brothers, declared that he was abandoning the Imperium and his father and was attempting to usurp power for himself. He saw it instead as having a back up plan in place to ensure that the Imperium survived even if everything else went to hell. It was a polarizing decision that also acts as a new plot hook for player's armies who wish to play traitors of legions that traditionally didn't turn, like the Ultramarines and Blood Angels. Marines who strongly disagreed with the concept of Imperium Secundus.

Historically, we know that Terra had not fallen and Imperium Secundus was eventually scrapped. But historical revisions by the Administratum, the Ecclesiarchy, and the Inquisition, would ensure that there was never any doubt in the slightest that Guilliman would ever have abandoned Terra.

But because we're on the internet...memes take over and Guilliman gets called a traitor.

Oh, yea. Probably just take a Leviathan in that case.

It's a shame too, because I absolutely LOVE the Mhara Gal model. I'm indifferent about the Gal Vorbak models, but I'd so love to run an army consisiting of Zardu Layak, Mhara Gal, and Gal Vorbak.
>>
>>47700942
probably because they abandoned terra in favor of some backwater shithole in the middle of nowhere

Wait, The Blood Angels turned? I thought Sanguinius was loyal to the core?

I'll say it again.
Legions =/=Primarchs

Legions were 80-100,000+ marines with a fraction of the psychoindoctrination and safeguards found in M41 marines. You're going to have dissenters, either due to issues in their implantation, physical or psychological damage, or even just their personality not melding to what their primarchs expected. Every legion had some element that ended up opposing whatever side their primarch was on because every legion had immense variety held within it.

I've never understood people that get so autistic over following canon. Fuck, literally any army can fight any other army and you can explain it away somehow. You could literally have two armies of ultramarines facing off and just pretend it's a training exercise for the neophytes or some shit. You could have pre-heresy world eaters fighting Tyranids and just pretend it's some obscure alien civilization on some random world during the great crusade. Seriously, I don't even know the fluff that well and I could make a legit background for pretty much any situation you could come up with.

Idk, I just know that back when I played 40k for a brief time around 4th edition, around 7 years ago, I never met someone who would even consider bitching about army matchups being canon or whatever. In fact it was pretty much encouraged that you could make up the story to fit it. Even the campaign that happened, the Medusa V campaign iirc, maybe it was another one, all the factions could fight each other no problem. You just fought people and then submitted the results, and they tracked the performance of each faction.
>>
>>47702126
That's because at the time, a loud portion of the fanbase would shout, "It's bullshit grimdark! You can't take it seriously!" at people like me, who would try to weave the lore together and come up with reasonable, in-universe explanations to fix up plot holes. Now it seems to have swung the opposite direction among the screeching minority.

I have an alumilite mold making kit I got as a gift a while ago and I figured I should use it.
