#

even less

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:36 AM

#

Batallion + patrol is 40 troups

#

Also you kind of need your troups since they have obsec

#

But they die fast

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:36 AM

#

but how much is a guards squad and a chimera

#

bare bones

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

70+55 points

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

man they used to be so much cheaper

#

but thats still not bad

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

I mean the chimeras have never been cheaper

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

no no i meant the guardsmen

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

The troups however ? That's a yike

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

they were 4 a model for awhile werent they?

#

back in 8th

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

But yeah, ina 200 pt game you'll need atleast a brigade and a patrol

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

something silly

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

Yes 4pts per model

#

Conscripts were even 3

#

At the beginning of 8th

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

yeah i remeber conscript blobs

#

that didnt last thankfully

#

not because op or anything

#

but fuck moving all that

#

yeah idk, not talking like

#

full tourney meta

#

but i still feel guard shouldnt be that bad

#

they still seem like they get a lot of guns for their points

#

im probably wrong though

#

eradicators are some scary shit, i cant imagine russ's like that too much

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

They did

#

The blast changes made everything expensive

#

And bolter point cost ? Since all guards vehicle come with atleast 1, it also didn't help

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:44 AM

#

thats fair, i didnt think about the bolter change

#

how much is a tank commander these days?

#

didnt they just widen the gap between them and regular tanks?

#

trying to get people to pick up the BS 4 guys

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

yeah they widdened it by 10 points

#

Which is useless

#

Since they heavily dropped the price of bullgryns

#

Units that were a must pick anyway

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

wow

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

So the price lowering of bullgryns just compensates the commander ones

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

thats bonkers, bullgryn with slabs and the maces

#

seemed really good to me

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

They are good at melee

#

But still more expensive and worse than bladeguards

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

its one of those units you gotta deal with though, and can soak quite a lot

#

not that its a threat turn 1

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Yeah Ogryns are just something you babysit with 1 priest and 2 astropaths and make them sit on an objective

#

And then you look the other player in the eye and dare him to approach in charging range

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

i get that same vibe from lich guard

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

Because ogryns outside of that are useless

#

Necrons have orders that actually boost the movement speed and teleportation

#

Its easy to make those lich guards come to you

#

ogryn is different

#

Also, the average tank commander is running around the 300 point mark

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

oof

#

wat

#

thats not far off from my knights

#

tank commanders are good, but 300 points?

#

for no invul vehicle

#

thats a rough cost

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

Yeah all of that on an easy to oneshot chassisawell

#

Nothing 2 shots of lascannon can't solve

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

more than that usually tbf

#

lascannons are the freaking worst

#

you will eventually get that lowball and just not take a tank out

vast frigate Jan 25, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

thats why mines exist

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

I actually looked a bit more

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

at the cost of a Tcommander?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

Tank commanders, if you go on a smaller route are 230 points

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

like with battle cannon and bolters?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

With demo + 1 lass + 2 hbolters

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

that sounds better

#

for 3 BS

#

thats not a bad price

#

but boy, then you get into the weirdism of 40k

#

and hope it does not get shot off turn 1

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

Well they are still quite fragile for a tank

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

though thats also a table setup kinda thing

#

yeah

#

no doubt there

#

but it packs a whollop for its cost, double shooting the main gun

#

but you are right, they gotta hit hard because they wont last

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

For that it needs not to move or less than half speed

#

Demo is supposed to be short range but can go upto 30" with the right regiment though

#

But with the abundance of cover, its not that hard to protect yourself from it

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

most i have seen is with either battle cannon

#

or the plasma

#

or the gattling, but thats a bit rare

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

Well you haven't faced the tournament teams then

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

oh no

#

im not talking meta crushing tournys

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

All of em run 3 Tcom with that setup + 2 manticores with TA

#

Neither do I

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

i assume they are using TA for that

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

I'm just talking competitive units

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

uh

#

its like max damage?

#

or some such nonsense

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

Yeah

#

It turns the manticores into D3

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

ooof

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

from1d3 to d3

#

because of how abundant gravis armor is, you gotta run those

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

makes sense

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

Nothing better than cucking a sm player

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

gotta get that damage 3

#

gotta say

#

i hope when IG gets their book

#

they take a hard look at baneblades

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

Please

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

its so iconic

#

and so awful

#

its like

#

a knight

#

but no invul

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

Actually you know what ?

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

and costs CP

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

Just force Pask inside one

#

And it would work

#

Yeah a BS4 knight

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

yeah as someone who plays knights

#

every time i see the baneblade im like

#

why

#

this is worse in like every way

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

Gotta bring the big guns

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

it has more guns, but

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

Also, good on you to sticking to Knights with that edition

#

Must not be fun

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

eh, its not greaty

#

but i already had lots of warglaives

#

and they do alright

#

but yeah

#

we dont play 'the game'

#

at all

#

we try to stop everyone else from doing it

#

which ofc

#

we cant really

#

but eh

#

what can you do

#

i just like robots

#

im also kinda lucky in another way, i never went loyal 32

#

so i didnt have to deal with losing that

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:03 AM

#

You don't sound like what I'd expect of a "That Guys" which people say you have a chance of meeting 50% of the time you meet a knight player

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:03 AM

#

im not gonna lie

#

if i was back in the room that added knights and riptides

#

i probably would have tried to stop it

#

they just dont feel like they are ever gonna be in a good spot

#

we are so singular in what we field, and it requires specific tools

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

They were in 8th but mostly as a soup option

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

its game warping

#

yeah i didnt soup it up

#

im very casual though, so

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

I call that the big boy knight way

#

Good on you

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

thematically, it seems like it could have been cool

#

having a regiment and knights together, and painting them up

#

but idk

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

Only thing I want for Ig is to be able to run hellhounds

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

they blow on 4's dont they?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

I thought being able to shoot in melee would be fantastic for them

#

The hellhounds yes

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

fuck thats a scary unit

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

Which makes them fun

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

whats the profile on their flamer?

#

isnt it like 18' and a shitload of shots

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

They are an ok unit if you run them with reinforced threads and double flamer

#

That's 6 shots S6 AP 1 D1

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

if we were pre 2 wound marines, that would be nasty

#

hordes defs dont like seeing that

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

Yeah and its pretty tough at T7 and 11 wounds

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

thats not too shabby, how much is a hell hound?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

Can definitly charge into a group of infantry and laugh at them

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

120ish or something?

#

150?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

Naked its 110

#

Also I did a mistake

#

Thats not 6 shots its 2d6

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

tell you what, if you got CP up for overwatch

#

nobody wants to charge that thing

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

I was thinking of the banewolf for a sec

#

Well why would yuo

odd sparrow Jan 25, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

banewolf sounds like an awful fursona name

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

Its a tank that wants to charge you

#

It does

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

its the chemical sprayer one right?

#

like acid or something

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

But its a tank that spew toxic shit at your face

#

Not very attractive

odd sparrow Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

we don't stan

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

unless thats your kink

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

And it doesn't explose on a 4, not funny aswell

#

Its a boring toxic tank

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

lol

#

i ONLY run things that have explosions better than a 6

odd sparrow Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

,,,, i dont think death by toxic waste at high velocity is a valid kink

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

no but doing that TO someone probably is

odd sparrow Jan 25, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

sadists really do be getting inventive

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

and with that you have your crew

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

I like hellhound because its a tank meant to Cancel Drift into the nearest blob, shred it to oblivion and then explode on the heavy hiting dudes, doing a Vegeta kamikaze attack

#

It just sounds amazingly fun

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

i saw a battle report a while ago

#

where like

#

a gorkanaut exploded, which blew up a brass scorpion that was near it

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

odd sparrow ,,,, i dont think death by toxic waste at high velocity is a valid kink

Gas gas gas I'm gonna step on the gas

#

Chain reaction

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:11 AM

#

pretty much the whole table was in range

#

orks v world eaters after all

#

kharn died, a bunch of other stuff died

#

was nasty

odd sparrow Jan 25, 2021, 2:11 AM

#

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:11 AM

#

Wait

#

They buffed the cost of hellhounds :poggers:

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

oh?

#

what are they now?

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

They auto include the heavy flamer now, no need to pay extra

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

nice

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

So 115 points of hot drifting energy

#

Made my day

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

IG dont have an auto explode strat like knights do, do they?

#

god i hope they do

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

Nope, its the Admech taht has that

#

It's wrath of the machine spirit

#

And like 1 cp

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

i hope the new IG book has one for hellhounds

#

honestly

#

it seems just so right

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

I feel, hellhounds drviers are already pointed as almost suicidal and with little to no regards to their own life

#

Them chosing to overload the payload just to go in a bang sounds nice

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:17 AM

#

yeah

#

would really make them an intresting choice

#

for getting board control early

final spruce Jan 25, 2021, 2:19 AM

#

I mean Ork flyers already have a stratagem called "'Flying eadbutt" where the ork pilot choose to willingly crash and burn ON an unit he charges

half gull Jan 25, 2021, 2:19 AM

#

which is fantastic

#

burna bombas are so freaking funny

#

i love them

No

They're a different group entirely

Maccabia was a salt planet

where this guy Drusus died in a battle

then supposedly came back to life

those tubs...

#

there is a reason the real world WW1 armies never used that type of gasmask

#

they both restrict airflow and make it much harder for the soldier to move his head fully

#

ofc seeing as most deathkorps guardsmen dont live past their first battle i doubt that matters much for them

but the mask the deathkorps use is just a guillymask

Not that much, they are indeed zealots, because they dont suicide in vein, like shooting himself with a gun, they are in a debt to the Emperor they need to pay, and the only way to pay it is dying being usefull to the emperor to the last.

Scions aren't rich, they own nothing, all their equipment is given to them by the munitorum

Oh no that was the past

where scions as you say were pretty much brainwashed weirdos

they have doubled down on that stupid crap a lot

theres still some hypno indoctrination but its not extreme anymore to the point that they're just faceless elite goons

Well, they are still brainwashed, but with more traditional methods... Like religious indoctrination

#

And extremely punished physical test

prisma lark Jan 27, 2021, 8:58 PM

so they're "only" indoctrinated religious fanatics now

#

well that puts them on par with Marines and Sisters at least

barren tapir Jan 27, 2021, 8:59 PM

Imagine a spartan... Increase their training and the frequency of the training up to 10 times at least

they'll just aim, shoot and move on

The only difference is that a scion might actually try to befriend you if you both share a mission

barren tapir Jan 27, 2021, 9:01 PM

Of course there are also some very zealous ones, but that is more dependant on the regiment

There are also some that receive limited genetic improvement, and some that get better tech training

"There was something else now, something new. He squinted at it, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. Right above the ship, another shape, far larger and sleaker, was phasing into existance, melting into reality like liquid filling an invisible glass. It's finished form was eerily familiar. It was a ship and Coldwave had seen its like only once before at the battle of Cor'leeth (spelling?) where he had stood against the Ya'hei (Tyranid) as a mere fireblade officer."

"Such a craft had been spotted observing the conflict from afar. His commander has ordered Tau jets to intercept. The strange ship had vanished before they even got close. Now they were here at Curdiza (spelling?) just when things had reached critical mass. The Val'sha had come."

Shadowbreaker

#

23 minutes left on it

#

Very interesting book

#

A compelling overarching story, good bolter porn and lots of little detail reveals and cool lore tidbits

#

an Eldar farseer arrives at the end and manages to search the entire planet for other psykers. An unsanctioned psyker notes how she felt the Eldar "looking" at her.

I can highly recommend this book

Two huge implications for the future in it too

so in the middle of that cesspool that are the Steam forums, there is a pretty interesting discussion about Bolter caliber (unfortunately, between two people who can't admit when they're wrong)

#

and after looking at various sources for the last 20 minutes, I came to the conclusion that... Games Workshop has absolutely zero sense of scale even on something as "minor" as the size of a weapon lulz

barren tapir Jan 28, 2021, 2:54 PM

These kind of discussion pop up in the steam forums quite frequently

Especially about weapons

odd sparrow Jan 28, 2021, 2:55 PM

#

GW and scale doesn't like. yeah. In any case

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 2:55 PM

#

THQ insisting on using .998 caliber on the Bolters in their games doesn't help

odd sparrow Jan 28, 2021, 2:55 PM

#

which is why arguing about gw fluff like that is a silly idea uwu

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 2:55 PM

#

definitely a bad idea, yeah

#

Warhammer fluff has always changed depending on the writer

#

(you'll never make me say that CS Goto is canon though)

barren tapir Jan 28, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

I wish GW enlist a firearm expert and try to fix that mess that is all their weapon categories

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

I'm sure any firearm expert would have an aneurysm looking at how a Bolter is supposed to work

#

but I'm no expert myself

barren tapir Jan 28, 2021, 2:58 PM

For sure it would have a hard time trying not to go crazy

coarse mirage Jan 28, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

Fatshark noted that there's MANY variations of the standard bolter

#

Some of them small enough for a man to use

#

It all depends on where they're made, who is using them, from WHEN they are made and so on

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 2:59 PM

#

or just enough to wonder how a Stalker can target two different targets given it only has a single target acquisition radar

barren tapir Jan 28, 2021, 2:59 PM

#

There are two main category of bolters, SM and normal humans... Then there is also one pattern that stand between those two categories

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 3:00 PM

the discussion started on whether those smaller bolters used the same caliber as their "big brothers"

The simple answer is no... If you wanna go and tell them the truth

coarse mirage Jan 28, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

They likely don't or they wouldn't be usable by a regular guy

#

I have this Wolf Guard model in VRChat who's bolter appears smaller than other bolters. But perhaps that's some kind of Primaris type bolter?

prisma lark Jan 28, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

thing is, no one has been able to provide any source so far on either side of the argument, so my answer is: we don't know, and GW writers probably haven't asked themselves the question either

coarse mirage Jan 28, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

Honestly, some times fun is more important than "realistic". If Fatshark needs to take some artistic liberty I'm fine with it.

#

Thye could both probably find sources for their own arguments

#

And neither of them would be wrong
