[empty siren]

Speaking of which

My models arrived!

Some of them broke during shipping but I got super glue

[thin ibex]

Started my first match Wyeth necrons ever today, paused and saved at 3rd round

I'm doing awful on secondaries rn

But I think I might be able to turn things around

[empty siren]

YESSSS

My models!

Unbuilt piranha

I need to buy two more crisis suit units

Ahhh...two riptides

I also want a storm surge

...I might go buy a stormsurge the next time I can

That's a lie

I will buy a stormsurge the next time I get

Not I might

‘We need to kill da tinboy,’ he declared, as though Mogrot had never challenged him. ‘An’ we ain’t doin’ dat from here, an’ we can’t get to it ta kill it easy, coz it knows we’z orks, right?’

The ladz nodded. All of that seemed logical.

‘Wot you finkin’?’ Da Boffin asked, scratching one ear and looking at him thoughtfully as he rocked back and forth on his monowheel.

Ufthak beamed.

‘All right, ladz, I’z ’ad a great idea…’

---

‘’Ello, I’m a humie!’

Humie spaceships, it turned out, had a lot of decent metal sheeting lying around if you had access to a burna to cut it off the walls, so Wazzock had been put to work. Before too long, the mob had several large chunks, to which they’d strapped the more intact of the red-robe corpses they’d made on the way to the door.

‘We’z just humies, walkin’ down dis corridor!’

Ufthak’s plan was proper cunning if he said so himself, which he did, so that was okay. The tinboy must be able to tell humies from orks, or the humies would never let it walk around their spaceship. Therefore, it stood to reason that if it saw humies in front of it, it wouldn’t shoot.

Into the corridor they went, a few boyz behind each metal plate, with dead humies on the front to confuse the tinboy. Simple, but genius.

‘Wot if it don’t work?’ Deffrow hissed.

‘S’gotta work,’ Ufthak argued. ‘I’m talkin’ in humie, ain’t I? An’ makin’ my voice squeaky an’–’

The shoota opened up again. The three boyz behind the foremost plate leaned into the impacts on what had suddenly become a makeshift shield, but the metal sheeting wasn’t designed to stand up to firepower of that magnitude. One of them came apart as a shell punched right through, and Ufthak suddenly had guts over his steel toecaps.

‘Zog it!’ he shouted. ‘Next plan!’

[empty siren]

I with Tau Battlesuit fingers weren't so small

Oh well

[thin ibex]

i recognize a lot of those models

[empty siren]

This is completely outta left field, but I should do a kitbash of a space wolf and a noise marine. Mostly just want the guitar

For some reason last night I really wanted to make a kitbash of a space wolf that looks like the band "Power Wolf."

[empty siren]

The models of my army?

I need a fucking stormsurge GRAAA

[thin ibex]

https://printedwargames.com/shop/?partner=pipermakes

they also print on etsy

[empty siren]

Ooooh

I'm happy with the models I got :)

They're so cool

[thin ibex]

ive been hemming and hawing around getting myself a riptide proxy from them

[empty siren]

Riptide is sick as fuck

It looks really nice

I've never played it, but armoured core is the vibes I get

[thin ibex]

ive run a riptide a few times

they usually under-perform for me a bit

[mental birch]

Triptide

Is fun

[empty siren]

9th edition riptide data sheet looked fucking insane

I could understand why triptide was a huge threat

I might start running the burst cannon instead of the ion. I need the output of attacks. Plus I get more attacks for devastating

The ion just wasn't doing it for me

[mental birch]

I still run triptide in 10e

Triptide ion is wild ass

[empty siren]

I also just don't need that range. I used my riptide to hold the home objective cause I know that my friend usually deepstrikes in my backline. DG Terminators

[thin ibex]

8th and 9th every datasheet is gonna look insane compared to now

[empty siren]

He gets a 6" deepstrike against afflicted. It's not like my riptide is a huge target because I have like multiple units of infantry, missile-sides, etc pushing main

[thin ibex]

ion rip is statistically so much more dangerous than teh hbc

and i like the hbc so much more

[empty siren]

Yes HOWEVER

BRRRRRRRRTT

[thin ibex]

i guess the hbc IS more efficient into infantry, but tau dont need help with infantry killing

[mental birch]

The riptide is a surpsingly tough

Stall unit

[empty siren]

The 4+ invul is a god send

[thin ibex]

tanky boi, you can often expect him to survive a round at a critical juncture

[empty siren]

Maybe ion is better but if I ever run Kauyon, it's burst cannon all the way

Mmmm sustained hits 2 and devastating. Reroll hits and wounds of 1 when guided by stealthsuits. Mmmmmm, ignore any or all modifiers to hit

[thin ibex]

A-10 Gatling Riptidei s just a vibe

i wonder if could make the gun sexier in crusade

[empty siren]

Idk how good the stormsurge is but

[thin ibex]

its resoundingly ok, the str 24 gun is funny

but i found its raw output is a little lacking for hte investment

since all its secondary guns are ap0

i think its a cool looking centerpiece

I also like the fan mods, that put its gun in its hand instead of over shoulder

i think theyre fine in casuals

but they dont really interact well with the faction rule

they do play really well into big horde armies tho

feels good to fire the cluster missiles into gaunt hordes

[jaunty dawn]

that's painted so pretty but I don't care for the conversion haha

I don't really like the concept in general but I think the shoulder missiles look weird heere

[jaunty dawn]

hh preview in 25 minutes

[thin ibex]

i also saw another cool conversion with the shoulder cannon and arms that have the missile launchers

[jaunty dawn]

guy just said heres horusy

saturnine can teleport it seems

deep strike like

[main pagoda]

3e confirmed

[jaunty dawn]

vulkans prezzie

[jaunty dawn]

horus hersey is necromunda now???

leadership, cool, willpower, intelligence

plastic fellblade

plastic breachers with the helmets people want???

[tepid stratus]

Plastic breachers? About damn time

Hoping we finally get new sisters of silence kits

That army list looks cool but I don't want to kitbash all that lol

[jaunty dawn]

Mm

That would be nice

Oooh

Iron hands saturnine looks pretty great

[thin ibex]

so are saturnine's effectively super termies?

now that they're properly real again

looks like they no longer have the over head cannon

[jagged dawn]

https://youtu.be/1bZW7ANLaA0?si=AcPdpbKb4G2Y3Dld

[jaunty dawn]

Yeah

Like daot terminators

[thin ibex]

over more than 10k years, gun + big hand has remained a constant

[thin ibex]

oh i forgot to mention while running the void dragon

its very funny

went down to half

then healed to full the following turn

I did learn that I need to know my armies keywords better than I do

And I need to understand the phase sequencing pretty well

To get the most out of hypercrypt

[past sphinx]

heavy terminators

[sweet solar]

saturnines are CENTURIONS

look into your heart

you know it to be true

[misty violet]

I feel like saturnines are really what centurions probably ought to have been

Though I have weird feelings about their designs, specifically the cables on the shoulder pads

Which I understand are from the original model but it doesn't quite work imo

The praetor with the axe is absolutely screaming to be made into Autek Mor

[sweet solar]

i think they shoulda leaned more into making em like
marine scale Imperial Knights
make the shoulderpads a like, carapiece section

[desert jay]

Wow the Saturnine dread is fucking huge

[sweet solar]

yeah

now that one basically IS an imperial knight

[desert jay]

This is the first pic I saw to really give me a sense of scale

[misty violet]

I fucking love it, though I do understand some folks saying it feels a little bit like a third party model. I think it's just the overlapping plates on the front

Also, a point of concern is that they don't mention any additional different weapons for it in the article about what's in the Saturnine box

Which is a little disappointing because imagine a power fist or claw on this fucking thing

[main pagoda]

will probably see some added later

[runic swallow]

Gotta say, I like the dreadnaught version more than the terminator one, but it also looks like a less cool version of the Leviathan

[sour sequoia]

Hypercrypt legit the hardest to run of the detachments, because you don’t get the same stat stick potential besides ctan

[tranquil ivy]

Chat i dont think it's coming today

[runic swallow]

Your order is being delivered via cruise missile, they just need to finalize the targeting

[thin ibex]

It'll be a learning process for sure, but that's part of the fun I think.

[sour sequoia]

Wraiths still hold centerfield like you need em to, they just won’t be damage dealers 😔

Deathmarks/hexmarks/ophydians become your top tier secondary scorers

[thin ibex]

They took on the assault marines I needed them to, but fell to a squad of terminators

Ultimately they died round 2 but lived as long as I needed them to

[pastel rampart]

That...that's gotta be as big as the GK babycarrier, right?

[sour sequoia]

That is definitely the same height as the baby carrier

Maybe a few mm shorter but fuck is he STANCED

[runic swallow]

Did this get posted already? https://youtu.be/V8RGHUQ2hnE

If it did, my bad

[soft willow]

I mean, I'm not mad if we post it twice.

[tranquil ivy]

It brings me unfathomable joy to see my two favourite legions (Salamanders + Iron Warriors) in the new edition

[soft willow]

Honestly also cool that almost all the Liber books are coming out at launch too.

GW making it very easy for me to pick up Liber Questoris and just sneak another game on my plate.

[thin ibex]

Who's the more stoic? The salamanders or the iron warriors? Trick question, they'll both die before you find out

[jaunty dawn]

Sallies had rules to extend the game from sheer stoicism

[floral herald]

Trick question, Imperial Fists

[runic swallow]

I dunno, Iron Hands are also an option

[floral herald]

IFs take the cake for me for being wiped out multiple times from sheer stubbornness

[runic swallow]

All of them just awkwardly staring at each other while frowning

[runic swallow]

That is a good point

[floral herald]

There’s a lot of “these are stubborn tenacious fighters who never give ground” among the space marines but the IFs have bled the most for it

[runic swallow]

“I’m not owned!” bellows man hiding behind a palisade of his allies corpses in a killzone of bunkers and pre-sighted artillery

I still find any attempt to spin the Iron Cage as a win for the IF absolutely hilarious

[valid brook]

actually I took the bait hook, line, and sinker because getting wrecked old style uhhhh builds character

[thin ibex]

IF helmets don't arrive frowning

That 100% flexing their super human frowning muscles

[floral herald]

Look if you see a big fort and go “nah that’s a killing field trap I’m staying away” that’s bitchmade

The IWs took the bait with the siege of the imperial palace and you don’t wanna let them have the satisfaction

[misty violet]

As an Iron Hands/IH successor player, I would say they're less stoic than they seem because they're actually just always seething

[runic swallow]

Tbh that’s also the case with the IW and probably half the IF

[pastel rampart]

https://www.gog.com/en/game/warhammer_40000_rites_of_war Oh hey, free

[west zealot]

‘Someone get me Da Boffin!’ he bellowed. ‘An’ also one of his spannerz wot no one likes, an’ a shokk attack gun, an’ a weirdboy wot ain’t exploded anyone’s head recently. I am gettin’ froo dat git!’

        ‘Now, I ain’t usually da one askin’ dis,’ Da Boffin said, ‘but… are you sure dis is gonna work?’

Da Big Dakka is a good book

[west zealot]

Also I love this little lore tidbit -

" She was surrounded by five other warriors: five of her bloodbrides, the finest wyches under her command. Not all of them were female, of course, since ‘bloodbride’ was a title rather than a description; indeed, Xurzuli herself had only taken on a female form in the last few decades since ascending to the rank of succubus, in the same way as every Asuryani warrior who explored the warrior aspect of the Howling Banshees was female, and most incubi were male. Some roles within aeldari society overrode the tenuous grip of biology: it was one of the few constants across all the varied strands of the species’ existence."

[mental birch]

Is it just me or the Saturnine looks like Centurions

[runic swallow]

I think some people have said the same here, I also see it

[misty violet]

They really remind me of the less stumpy converted ones I've seen. I think it's mostly just a consequence of what a really bulky but still humanoid powersuit has to look like

[paper bluff]

Could be the same base tech. Mind you is was all from heavy void suits

Mining tech too i think

[thin ibex]

Or the saturnine inspired the centurion as a lesser adaptation

Also isn't the centurion like a mech suit for a marine already in power armor?

[quaint compass]

Yup

I wouldn't be surprised if a retcon makes centurion armor into retooled saturnine armor

[floral herald]

It is yeah

[tired cairn]

Need a grey knight in Centurion armor in a dreadknight in a hypothetical Knight-sized mech that the dreadknight hooks into that then pilots something Titan sized

[thin ibex]

Honestly yeah they skipped a step

Grey knight anti daemon nesting doll

[tired cairn]

I also imagine a version where the smaller grey knight pops out when you defeat the bigger version

[pulsar cairn]

Ya know how in most duels both guys ended up dying when we talk about irl sword fights?

sometimes i think about that but with lucius, but then i remember that they write him in a weird way

So it probably wouldnt matter

[runic swallow]

Wasn’t that more of a thing with rapiers specifically?

I’m not a big duel-knower though, so anyone can correct me on this

[desert jay]

This is just TTGL

[pulsar cairn]

Probably, yeah

But could 100% happen with other kinds of sword

[tired cairn]

Would Lucious be sad or happy if he won but will die?

(and would be sad or happy if he lost by knew the other guy would die, breaking the "curse")

[pulsar cairn]

i couldnt tell...im not very familiar with lucius personality, just his weird powers

[runic swallow]

I think a trade in a duel would probably just mean he dies for real, since he couldn’t hop into the other guy?

[pulsar cairn]

i would hope so

[tired cairn]

Iirc the curse is because he thought he was/wanted to be the best duelist in the galaxy. So Slaanash thought it would be really funny if he became the guy who defeated him

[tired cairn]

Yeah that's my assumption, but I'm wondering what his final thoughts given that would be

[pulsar cairn]

they made him take over a mindless necron once, at least someone here told me that, it makes no sense since it doesnt have feelings but they wrote it that way

[tired cairn]

The target slowly turns back into him aiui

[pulsar cairn]

but yeah i would hope that a trade in duel means he's just dead now

[floral herald]

That's because it happens as long as Slaanesh thinks its funny and a little humiliating

[pulsar cairn]

oh yeah! i forgot u were an Emperor's children fan Cyan

[tired cairn]

I suspect that Lucious is always a little humiliated to temporarily be the person who defeated him lol. And he doesn't even get another try

🤔 does it have to be duels? Or is

Is it just when Slaanash feels like it

Like if he got killed by random artillery would he come back

[pulsar cairn]

i dont think we know

but if it is like Cyan says it also happens when slaneesh feels like it

[floral herald]

It's when Slaanesh feels like it

Same as the other mortal champions really

Just with an added twist

[tired cairn]

The Inquisitor having a group brainstorming session trying to figure out the least amusing way to have Lucious come back after being killed

[floral herald]

If they feel good about it at all definitely yes otherwise questionably yes basically

[tired cairn]

Unfortunately "you get to be the random guardsman that killed Lucious and didn't even know* would probably be quite humiliating to Lucious and also funny

[tired cairn]

Is the same true for Demons/ascended champions? Or is it like default for them to come back but the Chaos Gods can permanently destroy them if they feel like it

[floral herald]

And just imagine the carnage when it wakes up

[tired cairn]

I wasn't thinking about Lucious becoming the artillery. That's more hilarious though

[pulsar cairn]

does he get his shit back when he transforms into the person or is he now naked?

[floral herald]

Daemons and quasi-daemons like princes and such go to the warp to reform they're outright immortal (but also now need warp juice to stay in the material realm forever)

[floral herald]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-rick-and-morty-car-lights-gif-4719420

[floral herald]

The person who killed him turns into another face in his armor

[floral herald]

The gods just conditionally bring back the mortals they like

[tired cairn]

I think Slaanash should have made Lucius have the most recent face of whomever defeated him. That'd be way meaner

Also I've been spelling his name wrong this whole time, but it probably accurately describes his hair given his affiliation

[floral herald]

I reckon they're in the armor so he can see the faces of everyone who bested him

[runic swallow]

I think there was one where a IG mortarman turned into him because he was proud that the fire mission went well

[main pagoda]

think the worse one was a woman who worked in a landmine factory who was happy that the landmines she was making were killing enemies of the imperium

[floral herald]

Lucius shortly after succumbing to tainted building materials on a hive world

[west zealot]

‘So when I turn dis on, it uses da energy of dese warp engines to cause a katastroffic warp implosion!’
Ufthak frowned. ‘Is dat good?’
‘Course it’s good!’ Da Boffin scoffed. ‘S’got a lot of fingies, syllables, innit? Like, “grot” is bad, but “Wazbom Blastajet” is good.’
Ufthak nodded. It was a powerful argument.

Gotta love Ork logic

[floral herald]

This is also why the Primaris marines are named like that

[west zealot]

More syllables= good?

[dense sedge]

What book is that?

[west zealot]

Da Big Dakka

Also features two dark Eldar archons falling in love, and acting like really dumb teenagers about it because DE are so emotionally compromised

Which is hilarious

‘Turnabout is fair play,’ Cistrial said with a wicked grin. ‘I too cannot allow my ally to die yet. And in addition,’ he added, leaning close, ‘I have tasted pain and despair many times from another drukhari, and while mortification is not as nourishing, it has the benefit of novelty. Perhaps I shall have to trick you into accidentally complimenting me again.’
The accusation of imperfection stung Dhaemira into action, and she rolled away and up to her feet. ‘Accidentally? I can assure you, I do not make mistakes!’
‘Then your words were honestly meant?’ Cistrial said, and there was the briefest flicker in the icy wall of his composure.
‘Of course!’ Dhaemira said. She saw an opening, and long experience at politicking and preying on the insecurities of others made her strike for it instinctively before she had even considered her words. ‘Why? Do you doubt yourself?’
‘Do not be ridiculous!’ Cistrial snapped. ‘I… am beautiful, and clearly you would be attracted to me!’
‘Then we are in agreement!’ Dhaemira said, even as a small part of her brain wondered what in the name of the Living Muse was going on.

Do I buy a stormsurge today🤔

I have the money

I really want a stormsurge

[thin ibex]

How bad do you want one?

If you have the money and you want one, get one

[empty siren]

They're literally a Pacific rim robot

Multiple pilots iirc

I want one BAD

[thin ibex]

Well, no mental sync as far as I remember off the top of my head, and a fair amount smaller

I have a love hate relationship with them

[empty siren]

They just look cool. Idk how useful they'd be in my army but I want a BEEEEG robot

[thin ibex]

To me they run counter to tau combat philosophy, which values access to mobility and air deployment. But also but gun robot cool

Like broadsides are largely similar except they can be delivered via Manta to a combat zone

[empty siren]

I just like big robot

And having one on my back line is incredibly threatening

My friend will have to spend resources and effort attacking big robot while I rush down midboard, supported by broadsides. He has too many high value targets and not enough fire power

He has two options. Allow the stormsurge to decimate his dudes while trying to pick off my robots moving at mach fuck. Or, try to bring my stormsurge down while being rushed down

am i understanding the mustering rules for necrons correctly, in that a unit can have a cryptek, noble, and cryptothralls all attached at once?

four simultaneous leader models seems slightly silly

well cryptothralls are part of the bodyguard but w/e

[west zealot]

Yes! It's great

[sour sequoia]

Its not as great as it used to be just because its so many points on units that aren’t necessarily killy

But yeah, thats exactly how it works

[thin ibex]

its just like we used to be able to stuff a command squad, an ogryn, a regimental attache's, and a psyker to the same 20 man squad of guardsmen

Saturnine destroyer?

[dense idol]

so i want to try and put together some of my own 40k 10e tournament-standard terrain for my group

we have an entire box of branching tree supports from fdm printing that i wanted to use for this project, to create a deep jungle theme

but from my preliminary research, it looks like standard terrain setups overwhelmingly favour two-storey ruins and barricades and walls over anything else, with solid chunks of elevated ground or semi-solid obfuscating shrubbery being very rare

[tired cairn]

You probably want to use the ruin rules for forests tbh. But it really seems that the game is designed around ruins and basically nothing else

[dense idol]

sad!

There is this one iron hands successor chapter who the mechanicum made hoping they would be loyal to them, while they did make em i think they werent allowed to keep them

Im surprised they didnt have enough power within the imperium to be allowed to keep them

Considering they basically run the show they are very much needed

[uneven ember]

(for real i love this artist)

[dense idol]

i wonder if i could still try and jank the jungle theming together

like

have the raised walkways on ruins represented by suspiciously long and flat cuboid boulders, flanked by short trees on two outward faces

the boulders can't exactly be free-floating, but i wonder how much the space beneath them actually matters anyway

[pastel rampart]

I mean, walkways can just be rope bridges.

the core is two big shithouse stat-bricks to sit on midfield objectives: orikan + nether-realm casket overlord + 20 warriors + reanimator on one side, and veil of darkness overlord + 10 lychguard + chronomancer + reanimator on the other

the doom scythe and doomstalker provide anti-tank capacity, the skorpekh lord and scarab-spyders blocks push flanks, and the 10-immortals-overlord-hexmark group just sorta wander around the map doing odd-jobs wherever they're needed

[thin ibex]

Win a close match today against a bully Boys ork player

My void dragon Shard face tanked a full size meganob squad that he had no right surviving. I think that won me the game

I did use a secret mission

But I think I honestly could have scored more if I hadn't

[tall depot]

https://youtu.be/iNRyG2FUJfw?si=sYRqJZYctiMOOMIb

[thin ibex]

MVP aside from the void dragon

was a hexmark destroyer

just spitting attacks out all over the place

my tesla immortals didn't have the impact i thought they would tbh

[west zealot]

"and flew under an archway that had apparently been carved to look like it was made out of lots of humie skulls, unless it actually was made out of humie skulls. You never could tell with humies. They didn’t at all like it if you tried to take their skulls, but then they still went and did weird things with them anyway, like make them float around and carry guns."

[floral herald]

Wow the world eaters one is amazing

[paper bluff]

Hexmark destroyers are very good. Totel underrated

[sour sequoia]

Probably not a thing you take three of anymore but god does the one put in work every time

[thin ibex]

in fairness i was blasting a full squad of nobs, but man, i really expected more out of the immortals

[thin ibex]

dis is the list im runnin

im thinking of ditching the deathmarks for somthing else, they've been kind of lackluster, rarely dying but rarely accomplishing much

the skorpeks have actually worked pretty good, but they're very quick to get targeted

[paper bluff]

Deathmarks are very take out characters

And unless you get those precision kills quick it feels meh

[sour sequoia]

Great scoring in hypercrypt since you can just pick em up and plop em down

But. I’ll be real beyond that they don’t do that much

[dense sedge]

my discord isn't loading pictures properly for some reason

[thin ibex]

i have guard opponents in this league, so i feel like the ability to snipe WILL come in handy

just hasnt yet against marines and orks

[dense sedge]

precision is very matchup depending

gsc hate it for instance, we love our attached characters

[thin ibex]

Current line up is
Me - Necrons - Hypercrypt
WE - Zerker Warband
Votann - baseline detach, forget its name
Guard - Recon Detachment
Guard - Bridgehead Strike
SM - SW - Champions of Fenris
Tau - don't know the detach
Orks - Bullyboys

[desert jay]

Votann only have one detachment (that people play)

[sonic hare]

glad to hear hexmark is good I love that model

[dense sedge]

I’m not sure if any of those are super character heavy

[sour sequoia]

Bridgehead can be super worth actually, they’re lower on order givers and you can snipe out special weapons that give you the hardest time

[thin ibex]

wait does precision let me pick special weapons guys too? I thought it was just character models

[sour sequoia]

You know, ignore me

I’m not used to running units with models that matter besides attached yet

[thin ibex]

I think I'm most afraid of the zerker warband, Angron isn't a vehicle so the Void Dragon isn't gonna be its best for that fight

Or the Votann player

I thought the orks were gonna overrun me, be we managed to tank the double waaagh

Was pretty scared at first though

[desert jay]

Precision specifically lets you target attached character models

So it doesn't even affect the one character in a command squad if the command squad isn't attached to another unit

[thin ibex]

Yeah it works the way I think it does, that's generally what I use it for. You can't use it to ignore Lone Op

[brittle salmon]

Angron has been pretty severely nerfed in the Codex, don't play too afraid of him

The triple 6 rez only brings him back at 50% wounds

[desert jay]

It should ignore lone op TBH

[thin ibex]

It'd be way more important if it could, and if it could pick the models it wounds. Maybe too potent. You'd certainly see way more precision in every list that's for sure

[brittle salmon]

That's what the rule used to do

Back in 9e and before

[thin ibex]

I remember back in 9e it didn't let you pick the dude, because the death jester specifically let you pick the dude? Or was that 8e

[brittle salmon]

The thing is that good, cost effective snipers are rare

[thin ibex]

My fear with Angry Ron is that I don't really have much screening, and I don't think any of my units can Tango with the bruiser on even standing except the Void Dragon

The monolith DOES have a boat load of wounds though

I remember eliminators being top of class for snipers for a while

I think the vindicare might be atm?

The skratos is hilarious but isn't actually that great of a sniper

(I still bring him on my tts Mechanicus lists because he's fun)

[sour sequoia]

Because Angron’s a monster, you just run wraiths into him and Start Blasting

Wraiths pistols & melee + monolith shooting will do it, especially if you can burn the opponent’s CP to stop a challenge for a turn or so

[thin ibex]

Weird question, for beginners, is it better to play elite or trend towards playing horde? I figure when they're new, having loads of tools might be better than raw quality

Makes the choice to do actions a lot less compromising

[sweet solar]

hordes are monetarily expensive and harder to build and paint

usually the best option for new players is not to play tournaments

pick a factuon yo like and get units you think are cool and play for fun

warhammer is more like half way between mtg commander and dungeons and dragons , than it is like a competative starcraft or sonethinf

[rocky shale]

Horde is much harder to build and paint for a new player but a little easier to play

[desert jay]

Hordes are somewhat cheaper if you play something that has good combo boxes for them (Guard) but yeah

[rocky shale]

The exception is like custodes who are elite (tanky) not elite (glass cannons)

[desert jay]

I suspect though that this question might be for someone playing over TTS to try out armies

[rocky shale]

TTS, watching others play, reading rules, and seeing what seems fun to paint are kinda the best ways to do all that

When I started I was split between tsons, death guard, aeldari, and tau.

Tsons I saw how much I didn't want to paint those stripes. Death guard I realized I wanted to do tank spam and that wasn't supported pre codex. Tau was shockingly expensive for crisis suits.

[desert jay]

Everyone hating on painting stripes

[uneven ember]

I need to buy those Goblin Hobbies stampers

[thin ibex]

apparently death guard have a tank spam detach now

[thin ibex]

yeah this is the case, its all TTS, so money cost is a little less of a concern

a frien of mine is playing a termie heavy list in the league, i ended up winning beacuse his positional play wasn't great; as he lost squads he just didn't have the tools to maintain control and i won via choking him out

[sour sequoia]

Death Guard have detachments for a lot of things and they’re just about all cranked to hell lmao

I think uhhh Mortarion’s Hammer is the tank one, have seen people enjoying it around here

[empty siren]

I should get my hands on more kroot and vespids

Auxiliary detachment does look kinda neat

Just, most of the other detachments feels like you're waiting forever to get your detachment rule, feeling too rushed to get the most out of your fleeting detachment rule. Having to drop a million dollars on crisis suits because those things are 100 dollars each not including characters, plus you're playing a dangerous game with having to be 9 fucking inches from the enemy. Which keep in mind, any decent melee will fuck you up. Or you're spending a million on Kroot. At least with Aux...I can run suits, kroot, vespids, and have a decent rule with okay enhancement and okay stratagems

[thin ibex]

paying for proxies for crisis suits is fine imo

the experimental detach is great when you want to play suits but dont want to play up close and personal

but personally i quite like the aux detach

[paper bluff]

Yeah, not to be the person but I think any professional takes away from people just trying to enjoy the game

With new players, have fun with your guys (broad term) cause they're your special little army men

[empty siren]

I like the look of it a lot

I'm not the biggest Kroot fan because I like big robot not predator meets ork meets tyranid

Plus, the detachment buffs your suits with the improved AP, and gives you a bit of survivability on your scoring units

[empty siren]

If I do Kauyon, what unit should farsight lead? I'm hesitant to say sunforgers, because i have 3 rail rifle broadsides and a Hammerhead. Plus the many seeker missiles

Then again. Can never complain about having too much anti tank. Because sunforgers are just scary

[wet grotto]

Fireknives? Plasma and missiles go brrr

[empty siren]

Plus 1 to wound on knives is also nice

I think that might be better. I need better anti elite because aside from sheer output of fire from a Coldstar leading Starscythes with all burst, I ain't got much lol

Got a funny plan with the Starscythes actually. Coldstar with high output and 3 burst cannons. Exemplar of Kauyon for Patient Hunter on BR2. Got a fireblade cadre with Through Unity Devastation. Drop in turn two, 44 attacks + gun drones. Get that sweet sustained hits 2 and lethal

I think I brought enough firepower. Got two riptides with burst cannons to just be a menace and pull aggro. Rail rifle and Hammerhead on home objective. Missile-sides rushing alongside the riptides. Acting like Mont'ka but actually running Kauyon

[thin ibex]

If you run plasma fire knives, he's good on em, but he does want to to be very close

[thin ibex]

Kroot are also real good for backline screening so that pesky elites don't drop into your broadsides and hammerhead. Also gives you access to sticky objective

[pine matrix]

Anyone got a good source of chainaxes for Horus heresy marines? Other than the phobos on the GW site

Had a bit of a google around Etsy but there wasn't much choice

[pastel rampart]

If you have access to a resin printer there's a bountiful amount of chainaxe STLs out there.

https://bitsofwar.com/gore-legion/238-gore-legion-chain-axes-right.html If not, there's Kromlech.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126993825460 and random ebay sellers

If you dig around you might find bitz sellers for khornate chainaxes or, in a pinch, ork ones.

[empty siren]

That's the issue...I'll be against... Deathguard 😭😭😭

I CAN'T be close

[thin ibex]

i mean, youre gonna get close

[empty siren]

I knowww

Just wish I didn't have to be so close

I could do missiles. The +1 to wound makes up for the low strength and AP

Cause more chance for sustained

[thin ibex]

check farsight's rule tho, dont think the +1 to w is at all ranges

[empty siren]

Naw. All plasma is prolly best. He could be my anti elite. My friend always deep strikes my back line br3

[empty siren]

I know it's only 9". But still. Missiles have more chance to hit sustained. But it doesn't matter too much. I decided plasma is definitely best because it's 6 attacks with like 3 damage. That's a lot and can definitely punish his terminators or plague marines

[thin ibex]

plasma will be a termie killer for sure

and death guard like their termies

[empty siren]

My only concern is damage not spilling over

DG Terminators have I think wound 4?

Oh well. It is what it is. It actually doesn't matter what am I on about

My friend is in for a surprise :)

I described to him the list like, Slightly impatient hunters. Shadowsun and her twin riptide sons. Japanese high speed rails. kaboom

Which translates to, rush down the midboard, Shadowsun giving rerolls to the riptides, aggressive as possible, many rail cannons, big missiles

[empty siren]

I wanted to try the aggressiveness of Montka but on Kauyon

[thin ibex]

the thing about kauyon is that depending on your opponent, it can be prudent to use scout/infiltrators to shove your opponents into their own deployment zone early to buy you time

cause you can't really wait for round 3 to get active

you just have to hold your decisive strikes for that moment

as far as wasted damageo n termies; its honestly worth whil to always force them onto their invulnerable and to remove termies

lots of value in each dead termie

[empty siren]

Oooh a ghost keel would be super helpful

That infiltrate and being and to nuhuh damage twice

[thin ibex]

valuable piece to use to tank a bit, i think you can access some kroot who are a bit more sacrificial

[pine matrix]

Thanks homie!

[empty siren]

I might give my Fireknives a marker drone

I just remembered that Kauyon has a stratagem that allows the spotter to get some of the benefits of being guided. Plus commander Farsight makes it a free stratagem cause he's leading them

Extra situational spotter. In case my smaller guys can't afford to spot

[thin ibex]

i almost never give marker drones to em unless you expect a vehicle or covered infantry and a solid angle; cause they can spot without it

its just if you want to let em help someone else ignore cover

[empty siren]

True. Having an emergency spotter would be nice tho. But yeah, I'm running like three stealth suits I don't think it's necessary

[pulsar cairn]

Would you say Commissar cain would be liked in a catachan regiment? I ask cause i heard they frag their commissars a lot

[pastel rampart]

Cain would do everything in his power to not end up in a Catachan regiment.

Which is to say he'd end up in one and somehow, despite everything, get grudging respect from them due to a hilarious chain of mishaps.

[empty siren]

That or if they tried, some Rube Goldberg ass nonsense would occur

Throw a grenade, it bounces off a tree branches, dinks his bolter making it fires, rolls off down his chain sword while gathering speed, uses the small crater in the ground to ramp up and detonate in the face of the soldier who threw it

Or something along those lines

I should reach the Cain books. They sound fun

Oh I forgot he doesn't use a bolt pistol does he? Anyways you get the point. Some bullshittery would happen if someone tried

[runic swallow]

Nope, laspistol since it’s lighter and carries a lot more ammo

[mild glen]

Also it's more accurate

[pulsar cairn]

i read 2 of the Cain books

[past sphinx]

Also has lacks the err moderate recoil of the bolt pistol

[pastel rampart]

There are bolt pistols made for more normal humans but the big thing with laspistols, at least for Cain, is their light weight and reliability.

He's a duelist, after all. Naturally he'd want something light for his off-hand.

[paper bluff]

His augmentic also makes his aim a little bit better

Keeps his hand steady

[thin ibex]

Do we think he's even still alive post the fall of Cadia?

[pulsar cairn]

Hard to tell! I wouldnt be surprised if they brought him back tho, considering he's very popular

[uneven ember]

"warp storm"

[pulsar cairn]

Yup

[uneven ember]

one of the beautiful things about the 40K setting
"this is on the other side of the galaxy from where this character is supposed to be and three hundred years before their story is canonically established to have started how are they here" "warp storm" "oh okay"

[pastel rampart]

He did retire in M42, working as a professor. This doesn't preclude him from being pulled back into active duty but by that point he'd be at least 230 years old.

[past sphinx]

Isn't cains last stand about him getting pulled into the 13th black crusade?

[past sphinx]

People complained about everything happening in m41/2 (seemingly forgetting that a thousand years is a long fucking time) but now the timelines foreward a lotta shit is left behind

Like say yarrick and cain

[uneven ember]

I felt like that was fewer people talking about everything happening in M41 and more how from like all of 3rd until the Black Crusade campaign everything was taking place in the last 99x.xxx.M41 period

[thin ibex]

a lotta folk forget that yarick was like... actually old by the time 2nd armaggeddon started

i am sad theres no character fitting his shoes though

[past sphinx]

they could bring him back like gaz!

CYBER YARRICK

[west zealot]

Yup, and he's explicitly pretty old then. Into his second century, I think.

His most recent published book, Vainglorious, is set right as he's been offered retirement and is trying to - and then gets dragged into serious misadventure.

And then at the end Vail drags him off with "we got lots to do!", seconds the space marine he was hanging with to the Deathwatch, etc.

Is unclear if we'll get more novels, though there's obviously potential

[past sphinx]

im sure him and vail have a great deal of things to do

bless em

[west zealot]

As to Cain and Catacahns - be makes a very big deal, repeatedly, that his being kind isn't just a mask, it's highly practical - Commissars who live up to the stereotype have a way of dying heroically several miles from the front line, in his words.

And we see him both drilling into his own commissarial cadets that you can't just rely on "fear will keep the men in line. Fear and my bolt pistol!", as well as some other Commissars he deals with.

Though it's also spelled out by Vail that he's exceptional (personal head canon is because he actually cares, despite the protests contrary), and many Commissars fall short of his mark.

So I think Catacahns would depend on have they heard of him?

If they've heard of him: hijinks to see if he's all puff and no fire.

If they've not heard of him: immense suspicion, a few 'ooops, sorry sir!" The moment one of them misinterprets something he did

[runic swallow]

Officially, he’s been mistakenly declared KIA so many times that there is a standing rule to just stop even bothering to do so

So, on paper he’s probably gonna be alive forever

[past sphinx]

his grave, to witch he was laid to rest with a full military parade reads "MIA"

they covered that fucker in grave dirt and still couldnt for sure put him on the count

[sour sequoia]

Kelermorph really is That Bitch

3 for 3 on eldar/drukhari players hearing ‘you should be afraid of the cowboy’ and never believing me

Only to turn around and punt like 250pts into them one turn later to make sure the cowboy dies

[final tide]

tried to build a wolfcav list for aos.... ooh there's really not a lot oh they really want me to play full goblin soup....

looks like it will be spearhead only for this army

[west zealot]

Kelermorph, Hero of the Imperium!

[deft crest]

Kelermorph on the KT board is one of the sickest models

not amazing but just sick

[quaint compass]

My friend runs a GSC army and didn't put much stock in it since its rules were half-way bupkis, until the 10th ed codex

He might like Kelly for its rules, but I like Kelly for itself 😌

[sour sequoia]

Honestly its one of the best lone ops in the game

[mental birch]

do that

There's no other Drone to give them

[dense sedge]

Ive not got a lot of use out of them honestly, how’s you get them to work

[thin ibex]

Playing necrons v world eaters today, my melee contingent may not be up to the task

[empty siren]

Hehehe I can't wait to play Kauyon like Mont'ka

Why wait to get sustained? Rush in, as fast as possible. Bait the enemy into the midboard only to drop behind and hit em on both ends with sustained

Strike hard and fast. Then clean up :)

I fucking LOVE Tau GRAAAA!

ROTATION

[pulsar cairn]

Aaa

I love the rogal dorn tank

It just looks fun!

Unsure if the imperial fists appreciate it tho

I could see the Space wolves liking that there's a tank named after leman russ

[jaunty dawn]

They used to be able to take them iirc

[pulsar cairn]

cool!

[jaunty dawn]

In 3e they got leman russ executioners (the plasma ones)

[pulsar cairn]

Oooh, were they space marine sized?

[rocky shale]

No just really cozy inside

[pulsar cairn]

[jaunty dawn]

Its unclearr

But thats kinda why the concept was abandoned I think

Though back then space marines werent modelled that much taller than anyone else

[pulsar cairn]

We probably dont have any quotes confirming it but thats enough for me to believe they do like the tank!

[jaunty dawn]

Oh no wait it was the exterminator apparently? Mustve gotten confused somewhere along the way

Just says they have a handful and are the only chapter to do so

[pulsar cairn]

Happy moment ruined

||im joking||

[jaunty dawn]

The leman russ exterminator! Just autocannons not big plasma

[pulsar cairn]

Ooooooh

Thought it was a completely different tank there for a sec!

[jaunty dawn]

Just read something kinda funny, says space wolves hate jump packs so when a mission actually requires their use they give them to blood claws and then turn around and admonish them for it once the mission is complete

[past sphinx]

(The bad version of the leman)

Wwit what about skyclaws?

[jaunty dawn]

They became skyclaws in 5e

But its the same basic concept

[pulsar cairn]

What's a blood claw?

[jaunty dawn]

Weirdly the way it worked mechanically was you take a blood claw bike pack (which became swiftclaws) and replace the bikes with jump packs. But they kept the 3-8 unit size

Blood claws are space wolf ‘scouts’. Space wolves never started putting aspirants in combat before their black carapace was ready so theyre just power armoured newbies

In squads of up to twenty. N they just wanna go killin

[bright dove]

All the machismo of a newly minted super soldier with nobody over their shoulder to tell them to calm the hell down.

[jaunty dawn]

Well sometimes they have a wolf guard telling them to calm down but yeah

Oh yeah back to the leman russ; it was BS 4 which implies it did have a marine inside

Still find it really funny that csm 🤝 space wolves; elite models having a model cap across unit slots with two options for deploying them

[pulsar cairn]

[finite compass]

Space Wolves also have their own actual scouts that serve the same general purpose as scouts in other chapters

Except the Space Wolf ones are fully trained and enhanced marines instead of initiates.

You have to have been both a Blood Claw and a Grey Hunter to be a Wolf Scout

[wintry mist]

Marines out of armour could prolly fit into a leman russ (without much room to spare)

[tranquil ivy]

Can space marines get away with dropping an inquisitor?

I imagine it varies

[tranquil ivy]

Well im sure an "accidental" bolter shot to the skull is justified

[deft crest]

Might get sent to do penance with the deathwatch

[tranquil ivy]

Not if they dont know you're the one that shot him

[tired cairn]

Inquisitors are very high ranked, so it'd be pretty hard to get away with it

Political machinations to get an inquisitor out of their hair seem more likely generally

[floral herald]

The Dark Angels have been the thing which goes bump in the night longer than the Inquisition has existed

[tired cairn]

(though Space Marines are also important and closed knit enough that it's hard for an inquisitor to seriously get in their hair in the first place)

[tardy vault]

It's one of the those On Paper v In Reality things

You tell the 9 foot tall walking tank he has to listen to you

Along with all his friends

[tired cairn]

Hmm, am I right in feeling like how important a given inquisitor is, is very inconsistent? Like sometimes they are commandeering an entire sector and other times they are doing significant legwork by themselves

[floral herald]

Yes

They’re not all equally connected

[tired cairn]

Make sure you bump off only the unpopular inquisitors

[runic swallow]

It depends on how well they play the politics game with who’s in their corner

[jaunty dawn]

The rosette isnt everything

[runic swallow]

But also as has been mentioned with regards to inquisitor vs rogue trader authority previously, when you’re just one guy with a fancy badge far away from anyone aside some very scary men with guns opposed to your opinions, the on-paper authority starts to give way to considerations of “will anyone find my body or piece together my last 72 hours of movements”

[tranquil ivy]

Harpoon through the back and drag em into the fog

They'll never be seen again and there wont be anything left as evidence

Heeheeheehaw

[runic swallow]

Or the Ordo the inquisitor is from getting a deeply sad note about how Inquisitor Pushy tragically died a hero when he took a bolter round to the skull leading the mission

(It was very odd how that Tyranid hive guard had one, but that’s for the Biologis to figure out, not us simple space marines)

[tired cairn]

No you fool, if they "die" off screen, they might come back in a later scene or sequel

[tranquil ivy]

Well the funny thing is my army uses tyranid weapons Monster-Hunter style

So its reasonable to believe that a warrior impaled the Inquisitor

[runic swallow]

Yeah, you better see that guy explode in a fountain of gore to be sure, any ambiguity means he will be back

[tranquil ivy]

"But sire, a tyranid did it! My client is innocent"

[soft willow]

Honestly this is 40k, even if he explodes on screen he might be back.

[tranquil ivy]

Truly the chaos way

Yeah true

“No I’m totally not chaos aligned, I just have a daemonhost as my only remaining friend, use horrific warp powers, and have broken ties with all of my friends and organizations”

It’s very funny how ||Eisenhorn just becomes the guy from the first book, honestly pretty good parallels ||

[weary dragon]

''I am using this ''Book of Flesh and Daemonic Hymns'' for the good of humanity, honestly.''

[runic swallow]

You kinda don’t think about it until you reread them

[weary dragon]

Inquisitors must never get their hands on Markers from Dead Space

[tired cairn]

"everyone else who used this book became horribly corrupted by chaos. But I won't be"

[runic swallow]

Oh yeah they’re making Unitology day one

[weary dragon]

40k fans think Markers wouldn't last in IoW

No the Inquisitors would use them

''Obviously I am built different''

necromorphs intensify

[tired cairn]

It probably depends who gets to them first lol

[runic swallow]

“No bro I’m gonna be the one who doesn’t descend into madness or become a flash abomination, everyone else just did it wrong”

[tired cairn]

AdMech probably would also use them

[weary dragon]

true but I do think it would darkly hilarious if a Inquisitor just up and thinks they could handle it and gets bodied

[sour sequoia]

Sorry I missed this till now - your lone ops are all action scorers and trading pieces. Deep Strike em and just hold for stuff like Locus, Engage on All Fronts or Behind Enemy Lines

[tired cairn]

I think the only thing making it less hilarious is how it is virtually certain it is lol

[runic swallow]

I mean the Inquisition and AdMech already did Tyranid Jurassic Park, and ended up making at least one new strain and all getting eaten lol

[tired cairn]

Though maybe the dramatic irony would add to it

[sour sequoia]

There’s worth in deploying a reductus up somewhere in regular deploy but only on flanks you know the enemy is going to try avoiding

[runic swallow]

I forget which IA book it is, but the subtitle is something like The Anphelion Project

[jaunty dawn]

3 iirc

[sour sequoia]

But Kelermorph being full BS reactive shoot and a reactive move, they got very little issue killing most of a cultist squad or flesh hounds or assorted uppy downie scoring units solo and then peeling off around a corner

[tired cairn]

When has an Inquisitor ever seen a terrible power beyond mortal reckoning and not gone "I am strong willed enough to use this to save the Imperium"

[jaunty dawn]

Oh no oops 3 is taros campaign . Anphelion project is 4

[runic swallow]

Taros was the Elysians/Space French, right?

[jaunty dawn]

Both!

[tranquil ivy]

How do we feel about deep sea marines, chat?

Be real

👁️

[runic swallow]

No I meant that as in that’s what the elysians are lol

[runic swallow]

Deep sea marines cool

[jaunty dawn]

elysians in taros and super elysians in anphelion

[runic swallow]

Oh interesting

[jaunty dawn]

Regiment 99

[runic swallow]

Oh right, they had bio-mods

[paper bluff]

A general random chapter? Not so much. A first founding chapter alot more likely

[runic swallow]

I suddenly remembered them once you said that

[tranquil ivy]

Yey

[runic swallow]

It highly depends how they did it and what kind of a dude they were

If it’s deniable or “oh, no, he left three weeks ago, we haven’t seen him since” and the Inquisitor isn’t well-liked or supported, your chances of getting away with it go up

Or if the marines do politicking well

[jaunty dawn]

I mean theyre space marines

The worst that can happen is they get put on a pentitent crusade

[runic swallow]

Depending on the guys connections, it’s possible they get declared traitors

[jaunty dawn]

You can engage in open rebellion against the imperium and still just get sent on a penitent crusade if you dont go off the deep eend

Though maybe if the guys connections are particularly vindictive

[runic swallow]

Yeah that’s what I mean

[dense sedge]

Yeah but why kelermorph? Reductus exists and often does better
Sanctus is more of a missile than a lone op

[sour sequoia]

Reductus somewhat better into chaff and monsters, kelermorph slaughters marines and xenos elites

[dense sedge]

Really, doesn’t it only desk 1damage with attacks though?

[sour sequoia]

Host is popping out with Sustained, on average you’re swinging 7 shots

and then a reactive move to go back into lone op or around a corner

If the mine doesn’t kill what the reductus wants to die, she’s very very dead

Could be my store’s a lot of elves but I’m getting much more mileage out of kelermorph who’s picking up 3-4 banshees per swing

[paper bluff]

What was that one chapter..... the atral lions?

There is in cannon a chapter that got on the shit list of an inquisitor and they reported to his inquisitor lord and then bad stuff started happening to that chapter

I be unironically stratagizing like a commander prepping for a casual 2.5k game 😭

Tbf. I feel like Tau needs to be treated like that. People know your weaknesses. My plan is to bait and punish

I love stratagizing. Makes me feel like I'm prepared. But I know I'm likely to be stomped so :3

I wanna be a better 40k player. But Im mostly just playing for fun, not to win

[rocky shale]

Winning is fun >:)

[rocky shale]

2.5k is so many points oof

2k games are already like 4-5hrs

[empty siren]

Is it?

Yaaay! The more time I spend with my friend the merrier :)

[rocky shale]

I mean 2k is like the default amount, 1k is for a quick game but not often do I see people go over 2k

[empty siren]

I wanted to do 3k but he didn't wanna :(

[empty siren]

Tbf, he doesn't have like 3k pts. But he's super close, so it woulda been closer to like 2.8k

I'm not done collecting. I wanna get way more so I have variety of options

I need like, two ghostkeels, way more crisis suits, more firewarriors, kroot of many varieties, vespid, and a stormsurge lol

Oh yeah. Imma drop like 3 trillion dollars only for Tau to be nerfed because they're not SM and GW needs to sell John Ultra, a new primaris lieutenant and Intercessors 2™️

[thin ibex]

The thing about Tau is people know the weakness, and then hyper focus on it. They also often do not know their strengths, thinking with outdated assumptions around Tau static gun lines, when Tau is actually hyper mobile.

And burn nurgle's garden

it can also kill demons for evil

i think abbadons sword is like a fragment of the emperor

or its the part of him that became the dark king

[pastel rampart]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Drach'nyen Nah, he's just the first murder so he's stupid powerful.

I think Emps just forced it into a weapon form for convenience because Drach'nyen could then be thrown the fuck away from him.

[thin ibex]

Wasn't there a big web way showdown with drachnyen with the custodes and the emperor?

[west zealot]

Yes, and Emps shoved the sword with drachy in it through a custodian, them told the custodian to run.

Given a figure in gold give good ol Abaddon the sword, this was absolutely one of Emp's patented good ideas.

"the Emperor left the Golden Throne to cover the retreat and confront the daemon Drach'nyen. The daemon took the form of a Stone Epoch war-chief, impaling the Emperor and claiming it would be His death. The Emperor ripped the daemon, now in the form of the daemon sword, from His body and hurled it at Ra, impaling him and binding it within him. As the last Imperial forces retreated from the webway, He ordered Ra to run."

[west zealot]

'Who is this?’ he demanded.
‘Someone with working surface-to-orbital defence batteries, and very little patience. Identify yourself, shithead.’

Civilians sassing chaos space Marines is always good

(for the record, the civies make it out shaken, but okay, while the CSM has to run off because it turns out the surface to orbital batteries weren't an idle threat)

Im thinking it might be a good idea to get my hands on a hivestorm box

[jaunty dawn]

For vespids? Theyre seperately available now

[mild glen]

So. With these skellyfriends, I will have a complete AoS army and a complete 40k army. What's next for my plastic Crack addiction? HH? A second army for either? A bunch of terrain? Rehab?

[thin ibex]

An army to fight the other armies

So that you can do cool board set ups and take pictures of them

And imagine big battles

Also so that you can rope people into playing the other army

[soft willow]

Legions Imperialis

Tinyhammer

[empty siren]

Hivestorm is 280 dollars

But brutal and cunning is 170

Difference is, no mat, and a buncha stuff. But, there still is terrain. But hivestorm also has the books and tokens and more equipment

[jaunty dawn]

Whats your actual goal here

If its having everything for kill team hivestorm is prob the way to go

[empty siren]

My friend and I are splitting it

[empty siren]

My friend and I both really wanna get more into Killteam and I want vespids. It's also better terrain and equipment and the core book and op cards and tokens

[jaunty dawn]

Yup

The brutal and cunning terrain is only meant to supplement hivestorm

[empty siren]

It gives us terrain for more than just Killteam as well. I bought the vermintide box a while ago and I get, not the same vibe, but something similar. The core book and a buncha stuff, made playing spearhead SO much more easier and fun. It's a better investment. I have no interest in orks and ratlings

[jaunty dawn]

Equipment models is necessary for stuff like barricades and ladders

[empty siren]

I think we both decided on hivestorm. Better investment over time

Swagadocious. Time to speed build EVERYTHING for tomorrow lmfao

Omfg thank god my dad was a rave dude

Friends and family discount cause the owners knew my dad from school and his rave days

Uhh 250 dollars...for a 280 dollar box...

[sour sequoia]

30 bucks is 30 bucks

[past sphinx]

Personally it's to tall

[tranquil ivy]

That's because the mini is short.

Here it is next to an Apothecary Biologis

[past sphinx]

The biologos has a plastic rock, he has a cork rock, if he isn't pinned through the bottom the leverage is gonna have rip the cork at a jostle

[tranquil ivy]

Mm, good point

I only just started using corkboards for basing so

He has a Neurothrope shield tho :>

[pastel rampart]

Aside from pinning, I also recommend giving the cork a wash of either 50/50 white glue/water mix or (even better) 50/50 mod podge/water. This makes the cork a lot tougher and less prone to chipping off.

[tranquil ivy]

I dont have either of those :(

[pastel rampart]

They're cheap and easily found, thankfully. Any craft store will have them, but even big box stores like Walmart have them in stock or even Dollar Tree.

Both are highly recommended, but for white glue/PVA do not get the ones that say "school/for school use" because they're watery and weak and nothing sticks to them. Elmer's Glue-All is the go-to. Mod Podge, basically any will do but I use the "matte" ones.

[tranquil ivy]

I dont have any stores nearby that sells it

[past sphinx]

THE HOLY SOURCE OF ALL BASING, LORD ELMERS

[pastel rampart]

Amazon, then? Or whatever online store you use I suppose.

[tranquil ivy]

I'll see to it eventually

For now though i'm happy with JUST the cork

If it becomes a pain in the ass then i'll get some modpodge/elmers

[pastel rampart]

Fair.

When you do get some pva glue, also: sand! It's a necessary component for damn near any basing.

[tranquil ivy]

Right

[pulsar cairn]

happy day

There's human sized bolters right?

How do they differ from an astartes bolter?

Does the astartes one have a bigger caliber?

[pastel rampart]

Smaller in size, lighter, and more manageable for regular humans. They still have a hell of a kick but it won't snap your wrists off when firing.

Rules-wise they're the same but there's some lore about them being less powerful--somewhere between lasgun and astartes bolter in terms of impact and penetration, if I'd hazard a guess.

[pulsar cairn]

[pastel rampart]

Astartes bolter are the de-facto type, so anything below that has a smaller caliber. Exactly how much isn't told though.

[pulsar cairn]

Fair enough

[past sphinx]

The darktide ones are like .700

[pulsar cairn]

How big is that?

[pastel rampart]

Standard bolter caliber is .75, though Phobos pattern bolters were .70. Admittedly made during the Unification Wars.

[pulsar cairn]

Just looked it up, pretty big

Would khorne protect Kharn from Lucius Curse?

I imagine lucius would still manage to come back to life if slaneesh wanted

Didnt Khorne throw Kharn across the warp?

Wasnt that Skarbrand?

Oh right

My bad

[pulsar cairn]

No worries!

[thin ibex]

i imagine powerful enough entities can be immune to lucius' curse because its a curse brought on by a greater power

[floral herald]

If Lucius is killed by Kharn then K’bandha and Shalaxi Helbane have to fight to see whether the armor works or not

[past sphinx]

And the EC aren't sure how Luci is coming back

sometimes through the body of the one who killed him

Sometimes he's just back

[floral herald]

What probably happens is they both respawn but respectfully distant from one another

I would simply believe Kharn’s smart enough to look at Lucius’s track record and not play those games

[runic swallow]

He’d probably just pull a Bane in Knightfall on him

[desert jay]

I think Space Marines can just get better from that on their own

[runic swallow]

Yeah but he’d like, really do it

And anyhow, the point is that he won

Just walking away leaving Lucius knowing he lost

[brittle salmon]

Kharn is a shockingly cunning combatant, there's an Azrael focused book where he's being hunted by Kharn on a boarded strike cruiser and he doesn't mess around

He's Not Falling For It

[junior robin]

a slaanesh cult leader almost made him cry (from remembering the good old days) once

[desert jay]

Alternatively, do Lucius like Monty Python’s Black Knight

[runic swallow]

Lmao yeah

[junior robin]

the same short story reveals his helmet got a built in kill-counter, wish I still had collection with it

[runic swallow]

Wasn’t that the one that said it had topped out, or am I misremembering

[junior robin]

sadly can't remember, was probably 10 years since I read it, it was from "let the galaxy burn" which also had a lot other interesting short stories like "chaos army invading from space marine VR sim" and "marines VS cavemen controlled dinosaurs"

[subtle bough]

would you say he's brutally cunning as a combatant perhaps

[brittle salmon]

[pulsar cairn]

Thanks Voy

[untold swallow]

I keep forgetting if Keeper of Secrets is a Slaanesh daemon or Tzeentch daemon

No right it's Slaanesh, the Tzeentchian counterpart is a Lord of Change

As a certified Tzeentchian, I lowkey feel like the Slaaneshi name being 'Keeper of Secrets' is some real portfolio plagiarism type shit lmao

[west zealot]

This is part of why I have the concept of a slaanesh-tzench warband who gave a Keeper of Change & Lord of Secrets around as well

[untold swallow]

lmao

[west zealot]

Also because the idea of heavily tzench influenced noise marines & perfection-through-change seems like a rocking concept

(that and it's the sort of thing that might irritate lore purists, but there's nothing stopping hybrid warbands - it's just another expression of chaos undivided - tbh I'm surprised we don't see them more often.

[pulsar cairn]

I mean

If you have guys worshiping all the gods at the same time

[past sphinx]

was it the big monsters that bricked you in or the blocks of infantry?

[thin ibex]

Infantry ultimately did me in, though I never hurt the land Raider

I erased angron before he could do anything with death rays

But my void dragon Shard got mercced by raw number of attacks from a full zerk squad

My monolith took 2 turns to drop for the eight bound and land Raider

It was unfortunate for me, but 20 stack warrior squad folds hard to zerks lead by kharne

Even with orikan's 4++

[sonic hare]

warrior blobs are not very good at winning melee unfortunately

definitely all right for bogging down less killy units

berzerkers are like 4 attacks per model right

[brittle salmon]

5 on the charge if its berserker warband as the detach

[sonic hare]

goodbye warriors...

[empty siren]

Okay so

I just finished a game using Kauyon

If you can survive, sustained hits 2 is nice. If you can't, oof

I won barely. I battleshocked a tank with photon grenades from a 3" charge. He got battleshocked, rolled a 4, down to 2" oof, then he couldn't command reroll because battleshocked. He had 2 dudes on obj with OC 1, I had oc 3. Thanks couldn't hold obj because oc 0. Pulled the be on objective, fell back farsight onto that object. Also pulled kill dudes, did that. Scraped by BARELY

Fuck, I deadly demised TWO of my TWO devilfish! TWICE. THIS HAS BEEN FOUR TIMES IN A ROW BTW. I DID THAT AGAIN LAST GAME

Anyway, I've been on a real binge of 40k novels recently, and anything by Mike Brooks is great

Highly recommend

I think the weakest thing he's done that I've read is Lion, soon of the forest, and that's mostly because it's got a weak ending (it just sorta... Stops). And I'd suspect it's weak ending is as much because it narrative constraints than anything else

In 40k, what being is most responsible for the absolute state of things?

I think for all of it, emps bargained with the powers and then renegged on the deal and thats what led to the scattering of the primarchs, witch would lead to the empowerment of the gods

[pastel rampart]

I'm gonna blame Vect only because that'd be the funniest possible outcome.

[paper bluff]

See I'm on the silent king being responsible and the Deceiver

Dude started a war to unite his people then started getting ass beat and the plan not working and then the Deceiver comes in...

Mind you we don't know who the old one that saw the necrotyr and went "nah, not going to help" was
