arctic talon
#

Are you running meltahippo

crystal forum
#

punisher is the gatling gun right

rocky gale
#

Vigilator Cannons on the Hypgrif

rocky gale
arctic talon
#

Hm you kind of lack anti tank

#

But list looks fun

crystal forum
#

why not vanquisher leman russ

rocky gale
#

Because Gatling Gun tank

crystal forum
#

this is real and true

rocky gale
#

Vanquisher would be good Anti-Tank though

arctic talon
#

Ngl the Gatling gun being better at AT then the battle cannon historically pre 8e due to how glancing works is funny

#

You could just glance a fucking tank to death

crystal forum
#

i never got why the gatling is so different to the executioner with the double autocannon

arctic talon
#

Aura

crystal forum
#

you can actually aim at planes with the executioner for some reason

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Also executioner is plasma

#

Isn’t it

#

annihilator and conqueror arent available anymore

storm jungle
#

also yeah those were FW

#

it hasnt been the same since the Great Purge

#

tho funnily enough the Incinerator is still around lol

arctic talon
#

Those got killed in the first great purge

crystal forum
#

dont know why annihilator was even needed since there's already an AT option

arctic talon
#

Not the second one lol

storm jungle
#

arctic talon
#

FW had some weird shit

crystal forum
#

there's an annihilator used in one of the valhallan books

#

i was like oh cool

forest orbit
storm jungle
#

Volkite russ

forest orbit
#

Based

arctic talon
#

They had a rule for HESH Russ tanks

#

lol

crystal forum
#

there's also the destroyer if you count that one as a leman russ

arctic talon
#

As a modification to the battle cannon

#

And then it got removed 1 edition later

#

In 5e lol

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

No

#

Like for the normal Russ

#

Specifically

crystal forum
#

the vanquisher initially was FW but it's like the only leman russ to become standard

#

it had two different models

#

insanely long barrels

#

i have one printed

#

one from gryphonne IV (rip)

arctic talon
#

It’s stc lived

#

Lul

crystal forum
rocky gale
#

Lack of Anti-Tank isn't an issue unless I have to deal with Votann vehicles

crystal forum
#

the model is just ridiculous

storm jungle
#

extremely sus barrel

crystal forum
#

you hit three buildings when turning the turret

#

the only reason i even printed that turret is because it's way cooler than the normal leman russ turret

near wasp
#

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

near wasp
crystal forum
#

it also has a coaxial storm bolter which isnt seen anywhere else

#

except conqueror

#

and an autocannon option which cant even be used anywhere since pintle mounted autocannons arent a thing

vagrant fox
#

One day they'll make turrets that can fit the cannon breech

#

or crew and the breech

#

to appease my tank tism

paper haven
#

Coaxial autocannon it is

vagrant fox
#

Grimdark amx 30 you say

crystal forum
#

im sure it will happen so they can have a more cohesive style between the older models and the newer dorn-style vehicles

#

Huh the chaos lord with jump pack must not have sold well, I am surprised it’s included in the killteam

Usually they sell a hero separately if it can be included

I wish he would get a book

Someday

But his codex lore is fine so they can hold it off until we get the Haemonculi book

#

Black legion is probably the coolest csm legion/warband mainly because of its unity

fervent geode
#

Less united than WB or DG tho

#

But I get it what you mean

fervent geode
rose thorn
#

DG all hate each other and WB have no sense of unity

fervent geode
#

Nah man like WB still have a legion

rose thorn

OH WB

#

I thought you said WE

fervent geode

Lmao yeah you’d be right

WE are shitheads

fervent geode

DG is a fucking mess all their books are about how much of a cluster fuck they are

arctic talon
#

WE had the highest rate of that lol

crystal forum
#

most got killed on istvan tho

arctic talon
#

Though 99% of them were dead

#

IW are definitely not as organized as they want you to think

rose thorn
#

Some warbands of WB wanna exclude one of the gods, some warbands interpreted lorgar’s text different, some are more politically tied to a specific council member

#

But it’s no where to trh degree of everyone else besides BL

fervent geode
#

Most of the Hosts are still numbered

#

And answer to the Dark Council upon request

#

All Dark Apostles in command roles need to be approved for example

AL is a fucking mess it’s literally just random ass warbands

fervent geode
#

Well except in ad hoc situations

fervent geode

Just a bunch of roving goons

Which is fine by me

rose thorn

Each warband thinks that they are the core of the AL operation

fervent geode

Some are more stupid

rose thorn

Some have no idea what the fuck they are doing, like Kassar or whatever

rose thorn

Their trick of teleporting Alpharius across the galaxy doenst work anymore since no one knows who the fuck that is

near wasp

I am alpharius

rose thorn
#

I imagine the guy from the books is probably gonna case alpha legion to reunite with his model release

fervent geode
#

He doesn’t want to tho

rose thorn
#

Really? Damn

fervent geode
#

He’s just made a big ass warband

fervent geode
rose thorn
#

That’s reuniting in one way or another

fervent geode
#

I mean like sort of ig

#

But then that would mean Decimus and Acerbus are reuniting the NL

rose thorn
#

Red corsairs reunited their warbands

fervent geode

Maybe Decimus wants to but Acerbus is like Akurra and dgaf

I think he founded them when he got better

Ohhh my bad, I thought they formed because he got shot

It's a chaos warband called the Warmongers. The aesthetic kinda changes a bit depending on Grand Company or the separate Conclaves/ideologies but basically they're a organized fightin force of massive size and cohesion who conquers over planets instead of just pillaging it
When other warbands do hit-and-runs the Warmongers will fight for years if absolutely necessary to take over entire systems
Conquerors, slavers, colonizers and a brutally effective cohesive Grand Companies

Damnit I’ve been expanding the Ork Waaaghtide idea in my head

#

And I’ve got a few ideas for it

#

As mentioned earlier the customizable Grot assistant who has multiple mini skill trees based on the type of Grot chosen

#

Instead of just a swarm when enemies spawn really fast, you also build up a Waaagh meter when staying together and fighting that, when full, gives everyone boosted effects and maybe even things you can pick and choose in a build before going in

#

And a competitive mechanic where whoever’s doing the best on their class is titled “Da Big Ork” and gets bonuses and everyone fights to earn the title and get unique rewards at the end of a mission

#

Damn I killed the channel

# jade holly What other classes could we have before Admech now anyways?

If going by Dark Heresy:

  • Adept (administratum): difficult from base but could be used with more advanced branches (Deamonine Seeker bringing in debuff shouts, Reliquarist bringing in special weapons...)
  • Assassin: Not really the Death Cultist, nor the Officio Assassin, think more of Scum but more ranged, less adaptable here tbh.
  • Sister of Battle: while could be redundant with Zealot, they could be made to work with the Act of Faith as a "Heavier Psyker"

To stand in for Ratlings

#

In DH they are indeed the more Sniper ish, or bringing more ranged specialities.

#

But tbh I doubt that they'd do that one

I got hooked on my own Waaaghtide idea

#

Lmao

Squat tbh I could see ending up-happening even though there is the PoV issues (to a lesser degree though)

#

Like I’m imagining a fusion of Borderlands style gameplay and Darktide. The classes are easy to pick as well

celest dome
#

Just the Grots one

#

With the Big Ork (which tbh doesn't seem fitting for a Tide game mechanic)
But the Waagh meter replacing toughness as the team system wouldn't be a bad one

My understanding is that the gene monitoring is necessarily very stringent for space marine candidates as the geneseed can easily kill someone who's even a little bit off.

inquisitors can do what they want

celest dome

Absolutely, there most likely are also fraudulent purity seals going around

solid horizon
#

they're never beating the allegations

alpine star
#

personally, I have some headcanon about it, such as that the prayer on a purity seal might be seasonal and that you could use that to see when a piece of gear had last been maintenanced

raven stone
#

OK just to make sure. And whilst in theory Inquisitors can do anything, I just want to avoid any unwritten conventions that the Internets may have gleaned from various novels 😅

surreal nest
raven stone
#

Might have tickled his fancy to get one

#

(In reality I just want something small to personalise my Inquisitor mini a little bit more)

#

Lore corollary: would there be a local branch of Ecclesiarchy that is willing to promote self making Purity Seals as a form of devotional activity to Emp?

#

(Not necessarily to everyone but at least to higher ups outside of Ecclesiarch structure)

#

Kinda like a meditation activity with a very 40k touch 😅

alpine star
#

seems plausible, though it does of course then present a target for suspicion, since the wide availability of the needed materials and of the knowledge needed to make purity seals would probably lead to a lot of fake ones being produced

raven stone
#

True

#

Maybe it is something they offer specifically to Inquisition then 😅

#

In the local sector at least

#

So even if fakes start flying around the pool of candidates are relatively narrow to discourage fakes

alpine star
#

to be fair, with how many seals the imperium uses, they gotta have whole abbeys just writing prayer slips

#

either that or scribe servitors

ogryn famously tend towards single syllable names, since they struggle to remember more, so that limits the applicable statistical terms. How about the admech char calling the ogryn an "outlier", which the ogry shortens to outy
