Simple OP edition

>tfw want to play Dark Eldar but have unpainted guard, GK, eldar, and harlequin armies
>and the main reason i want to play dark eldar is because kabalites with helmets look like hardcore motherfuckers

Putting together the Captain for my Black Templars right now, not sure if I should go with a Chapter Master + Artificer armour or a captain and a Chapter Relic (and potentially Artificer Armor).

Any suggestions? Will probably stick him in either a 10-man Crusader squad or a command squad.

The painted ones they have here look pretty meh by the usual standards.

Hell, I've seen better paintjobs even on eBay.

...

>>and the main reason i want to play dark eldar is because kabalites with helmets look like hardcore motherfuckers

That's the reason 99% of DE players play DE. The new models are fucking gorgeous and look exactly like evil space pirates should look.

Friends want to play kill team Not HOR version. Why are there so few resources on the official version? Cause it sucks? I'm looking to see what would be fun to play with what ive got an there isnt much for vanilla kill team

they've been shit so long that i think DEldar players would survive.

Ideally with buffs to their other areas like mandrakes and wracks

Thats why I started playing them, the warriors are just fantastic.

Also love the Idea of Dark lances, anyone have any stories of dark lances fucking shit up?

DE jetbikes don't get the CWE 3+ though, they're 5+ normal save.

The reason is that GW hates DEldar players and guys who spend literally 100% of their time killing each other in arenas and learning to avoid getting killed should be less competent on a bike than guys who spend 99% of their time as bakers, potters, and farmers but hop on a bike once in a while to go shoot some Space Marines or whatever.

This one time I shot a Dark Lance at an AV14 vehicle, but it only counted as AV12.

OOHH your talking about the save, not the actual rules for eldar jet bikes which are the same for both units. yes that is bullshit if anything it should be the other way around.

Sorry for the confusion.

Stop you are making me wetter than an otters pocket.

>Sorry for the confusion.

I'm not the user you initially replied to m8, I was just assuming he was talking about the save since he said "(3+?)". I might be wrong. lel

When I first started playing in third edition, we had a DEldar player in our group who bought a dark lance EVERYWHERE where it was an option. He took out a Land Raider and all the terminators it was carrying in one turn.

That was the first time I thought something was overpowered in this game (lol)

Guy from the previous thread that brought up the roommate issue ("Warhammer or me."). She thinks it's crazy I would choose gaming over a woman, I think it's crazy she thinks there *has* to be a choice (making a fight just for the sake of control).

Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to see how it plays out.

you're dating your roommate?
Pick warhammer, the relationship isn't going to last.

it doesnt say so in my codex, but mine is german, maybe they forgot that sentence

Look buddy here is my 2 cents.

You seem like a well adjusted guy who doesnt take his hobby to the extreme. You were willing to compromise by downsizing your collection and she wasn't willing to make any similar compromises at all and instead issued you an ultimatum.

You don't need toxic people like that in your life, even if you are getting sex regularly it isn't worth it. Warhammer is a fine hobby and if she can't realize that are you really going to be happy with a SO you can't even appreciate something you are passionate about?

Put your foot down, you are in control of your own life and if she can't be seen living with someone that has a display case for their favourite hobby then she needs an attitude check.

Good luck user. In all seriousness have your valuables and probably your 40k stuff moved off site so that nothing gets stolen or broken.

This so much

>be in grade 10 boarding school
>get bullied a lot and pick up warhammer as my friends are playing it
>become suicidal
>school kicks me off residence and throws ALL my miniatures into a plastic bag without any care.
>find my guys at the bottom of the stairs, half broken, paints crushed some.

Was one of the worst days of my life, considering I didnt have much to live for at that point, dont let that happen to you OP.

should key their cars and pop their tires if its years later

Anyone have experience home brewing some basic rules? I ended up making a battering ram out of a knight chain sword and brewed some basic rules for shenanigans and would like help.

30-5 points, upgrade to one of my cultist squads T W2 Sv 3+. Grants one attack at S D, I 1 for the squad. Saves would work like with gun emplacements so it's targetable and is dropped on squad death and can be picked up by anyone

Can paladins heavy grey knights work ? I know they aren't that good but I love them, what sort of things might they work with?

i updated some oop chaos superheavies but i never got around to playtesting. hell i even have a lesser brass scorpion i need to finish painting

A battering ram? Maybe make it hit like a Thanatar melee weapon from 30k? Normally that 1 attack is S10 AP2, but when hitting fortifications it becomes S:D.

Can SM put on his power armour alone, or he need help?

Who is the comfiest faction?

Tau/Guard firing lines seem comfy AF

I did not know that existed. Adding to potential sheet for my friends to vote on. Thanks

Is Sisters really going to happen? It will bring me back to 40k if it does. I've been waiting for Sisters since I started collecting in 2008.

GW have teased Plastic Sisters of Battle in an official video, so yes.

Wasn't that sisters of silence?

No. They literally say the words "Plastic Sisters of Battle!".

I did a full homebrew Psyker rewrite.

-Psyker Powers are chosen at army creation rather than rolled pregame.
-All disciplines only have 6 powers. 4 basic, 2 advanced. To take an advanced power, you must take 2 basic from the same discipline.
-2 powers/ML. 2 Warp Charge/ML, but a Psyker can only use their own WC (no "batteries")
-Most Psychic powers are a lot weaker by default. Rather, powers become stronger the more successes you get (bonuses cap at 4 Successes). So Scouring Flame is S5 AP 4, 2 successes is S6 AP 3, 4 successes is S8 AP 1.
-Deny the Witch is not "all or nothing" but subtracts successes from a successful power. So if a Sorcerer hits your Terminators with Scouring Flame, and gets 3 successes, but you deny once, the attack is S6 AP 3 instead of S7 AP 2.
-Deny is based on proximity to the psychic powers target, but works on a 4+ by default.

I could post more if interested.

Video by the way.

Can you link the video? Because I'm not the guy you are replying to but I'm sure it was what he was talking about

Already linked. Right at the end, in the bin, "Plastic Sisters of Battle!"

Orkz

Knights because moving 3 dudes is way easier than moving 30+, and your only tactical decision is "where do I point my 3 cannons and what do I charge at?" Comfy af.

Can work. Depending on the meta.

They're multi-wound, low Toughness models.

They're "melee" specialists, but lose to real melee units (Wulfen, Custodes, Genestealers, etc.)

They have no option to an improved invulnerable save (no storm shields)

They have no option for AP2 at Initiative

What they do have are some sweet powers. S6 AP3 / S4 Instant Death is pretty good.

2 special weapons per 5

Access to FNP through Apothecary.

Run them the same way you run GK Terminators and you'll be fine, but personally I prefer an GK Terminators over Paladins. (More models, more attacks, more shooting vs better melee accuracy (WS5 vs WS4), more Wounds (assuming no ID)

Does Battlescribe not work for anyone else now?

I can't select any force types

curbs a lot of psychic hate while balancing, good work. how would you balance summoning?

eldar guardian when things go right

>be an eldar hanging out with some friends while on the path of the sleeper
>get called to battle
>suit up in some sexy skintight armor but gonna be hiding in cover most of the battle
>kill some terminators with my scatter cannon
>retreat because we only needed to kill off a terminator sarge
>get home by 7
>take a nap

Mobile had the same issue starting last week. Guess it finally hit desktop.

Works for me, both old and new version.

it has recently been updated, since then its shot for some people

>how would you balance summoning?

Summonng costs points from a points pool you put aside before game starts.

Is there a good free alternative? One that lists all the stats for the models?

I remember seeing one being talked about on here like a month ago but don't remember what it was.

>good
Not really, it works though, but massive bloat and no rules explanation.

QUICKLY FOR MY NEW ARMY
TAU OR SKITARII?

You should change the freshest rules header to say shit-tier epub garbage.

PDF is a fine format and I don't think we need to make things mobile friendly at the expense of desktop users.

pen and paper works fine for me

Summoned should have some disadvantages, like wors perils of the warp, and there should be a chance that summoned units disapear . The more you summon, the more likely you are to have perils and more summoned units will simply disapear

Skittles. Awesome models, good but not broken rules and about to get a bunch of new toys.

Doesn't change the fact that the PDF rules are't up to date and missing all releases since summer.

Fuckin look awesome I have to say. And SINCE WHEN WERE THEY GETTING NEW MODELS?!?!?!?!?!

What's it called?

And does anyone know how to fix batlescribe?

Someone hasn't had a faceful of relentless bs 7 salvo 4 shred guns.

FW stuff. And whenever the Ad Mech vs Tau book drops, so next year.

I'm sure someone has a book lying around and the autism to actually do it.

I have no books or I'd do it.

>fix
Wait for update.

>What's it called?
webapplications-webroster.rhcloud.com/rc/web/#/rosterCreator

Don't play tau. Don't be that guy.

Thanks.

Apparently not even the loudest PDFag cares enough to actually do the work.

Hohooooooooo boy I cannot WAIT for that!!!
At christmas time I'll gett 3 starter boxes, 3 ironstrider balistarii and infiltrators or some shit

>balance summoning
Not him, but:
At the beginning of your Psychic phase you may choose to dispell any summoned unit. Dispelling the unit automatically removes it from the table. No VPs are awarded for dispelling.

Otherwise the Psyker who summoned a unit counts as being 1 level lower than normal (to PM 0).

Don't worry my man. I'm settled for Skitarii

Does anyone have any fun stories of calling out cheaters?

We recently called someone out on using a 30k relic. He claimed it let him turn any die into a 6, and it was once per turn. Not knowing much of 30k, we thought it was right, until we actually looked it up. Spent 10 minutes arguing about it.

He later started to rules lawyer pretty hard, even claimed marine backpacks are 'decorative'.

So essentially Heresy rotor cannon with Shred? Got some, played against some. Good but not OP, since they are essentially better Infiltrators with no melee ability.
Sounds good, maybe with 2 Ironstriders and some Ruststalkers as well, since then you can easily expand into the War Convocation with a Knight and 2 Kataphron Destroyer grav squads.

>Tfw only way to win with SM is with a shitload of free razorbacks or deathstars
>Tfw just wanna play a bunch of tac marines and have them stand a chance

He's picking between Tau and Skiitarii, the two most OP factions right now. He's already that guy.

Skitarii are overpowered?

get a better meta, play friendly games with friends instead of playing with tournament fags

I just hate that the awesome art deco style AdMechs are only available as shitty ass resin.

Also ignores cover, ignore LOS, blind blast mode and Rending AP3 bolter mode

An optimized Eldar list with a competent player will wipe the floor with any pure Tau or Skiitarii list.

Seems like the entire game is about deathstars recently.

They can put it on alone but they never do because it's a ritual and they have helpers. Custodes always put on armor alone.

It's like comparing a knight having his armor put on vs. a loner ex special forces movie hero putting on his gear alone in his apartment.

Chapters that have low manpower or are more secluded probably put on armor alone.

Hmm. You could play Imperial Fists/Successors. Bolters still aren't great. But rerolls do help.

And their Devastators do their job well.

Blast mode is cool, yeah, but bolter mode is outclassed against all targets but AV 10-13 by Flechettes, and the Hoplites or Arc Rifles should be the ones killing vehicles.

I agree with the FW thing, Schism of Mars box set when? (never) Still going to start 30k Admech for xmas, just finished War Convo and those Thallax are cool as hell.

I started building up my ork army I wanted know exactly how best to set them up and how many of certain units to buy. I already have an HQ in the from of Grukk Face-Rippa and a warboss for other things.

Every single troop choice other armies have is better than tac marines.
>Ork boyz
can take a shitload of them
>CSM
Can take 20 man squads and take two special weapons instead of just one.
>Guard
can take a fucking shitload
>Nids
Can take a fucking shitload
>Skitarii
Can take 3, 3 shot plasma guns in one squad
>Eldar
Shitload of shots
>Dark Eldar
Everything is fast as shit and always wounds you on 4s
SM are shit.

The problem with SM's is that bolters are complete shit when compared to any other basic troop weapon.

Nevermind it's just marine bait.

Depends what you want?
Weirdboyz, Docs, 15 point meks (not the big ones), bikes, tankbustas, mega nobz, mek gunz, trukks and battlewagons are good.

Fucking this.

In-codex you best units are:
Bikers
Warbuggies/Scorchas (Don 't buy GW ones, build your own)
Mek Gunz (Don 't buy GW ones, build your own or use WWII artillery)
Battlewagon
Meganobz (dont glue hands one let them switch)
Grots
Mix of HQ units.

I don't play them, but I think Craftworld Eldar are perfectly balanced WITHIN THEIR CODEX. Every unit has synergy with another and there is no true "useless" unit. It is when they're introduced to the environment on the table along side these other odd codexes that they seem OP because other armies have glaring weaknesses and design flaws. Have you ever seen an Eldar vs Eldar match? Shit is fucking entertaining to watch.

Are Kastelan robots good? not sure if I should get them or something else

Right. Hence Fists.

Vyper is pretty shit even in-codex.

A friend offered me the Kill Team box since I'm slowly getting back into 40k.

Now, the content of the box is all fine and all, but there is 190pts of Space Marines and only 134pts of Tau in the lists they show in the book. Any way I can make a beefier tau list with the sprews I have in the box?
