Horus Heresy General /hhg/

So, after discussing gun sounds, we gotta know, on your headcannon, what sound does each weapon make?

I can't say I'm particularly interested in any of the involved parties, and the events on prospero itself have been ground into the fuckin' dirt.

So yeah, I'd rather see another wonky middle of nowhere book than inferno.

And that, yes. Somehow I have a feeling that dropping Rite of Destruction on it around T2 or 3 could really mess up some guys.

Magos Photon weapons make the iron man laser sound, the *bweeeEE* ZAP. I presume the larger Castellax ones sound like the Unibeam firing.

BZRAPP/crack in different modulations for laser sounds cool.

Meltas might be hard?

A really long, focusedrocket engine sound?

Like a big welding tool?

We don't need scans. I'm fine with a shitty phone picture pdf.

I'm mainly in it for the new TS forgeworld.

lascannons sound like bolts of lightning

It's the only appropriate sound for something with the name "godhammer"

Seconded, low energy las weapons miht get a lower whining sound potentially...but not the big ones.

Las weapons have sharp crack

Melta ones have this whine like "wheeeeeeeeeeeee"

Bolters have super throaty bass sound

>Bolt
BLAM
>Volkite
Choom!
>Las
Freeem
>Lascannon
FREEEM!
>Plasma
vvvvvVVVWHoww
>Melta
zzzzzFRAMoowww
>Autocannon
BRZZZZZZ
>Stubber
Dakkadakkadakkadakkadakkadakkadakka
>Rotor
Who cares?

Downgrading from Scans to shitty phone pictures is going to be a rather sad event.

>Meltas might be hard?
hard?

They're literally jet engine afterburners turned into guns. They'll likely sound the same.

I have my weekender, hotel and flight tickets booked.

If Inferno is available to buy at the weekender, I'll be uploading some clean quality pictures. Last year I had a shitty old iphone, this time my camera's better.

I liked the Boltgun sound from Firewarrior.

But why is a huge solid shell gun like an autocannon making buzzing sounds?

One thanatar also unlocks krios venators, for Cybernetica. Heavy Support does all the lifting in the mechanicum.

Oh, cool that I grasped that concept I guess.

Thanks.

Because that's how fast they go.

For big things I think I will probably have a couple Lightning fighters rather than those, cool as they are. Dropping 8 S8 Armourbane Tank Hunters AP1 BS5 missiles on a thing like a Knight has to hurt.

i think autocannons are more of a
BAKOW BAKOW BAKOW

Beggars cant be choosers, dont get all princess about it.

We would appreciate your effort user.

I don't think they fire that fast, always thought the shots were more spaced out than from a normal machine gun, but bigger/deeper.

Wouldnt that be rotor cannons?
After all they do spin, autocannons sound more like 1.0 second shot intervals to me, name wise

Whoops here's the right one.

Destroyers fix

Thanks man, this is amazing!

>Reavers are next, I hope.

youtube.com/watch?v=J3cAu2hAdJQ
Like so?

I suspect 30k Predator autocannon, Exterminator autocannon and Hydra autocannon have a more of a BRRRT to them, since they all have a much higher rate of fire (Heavy 4 instead of 2).

You're welcome. Here's a version with fewer typos... I am good at this a i swear

yeah kinda. like a 57mm autoloader

Do you have a template?

what do reavers need?

Yes, exactly like that.

I wish. I'll probably make one in the future. This time i just shoop'd it.

>TFW you're turning into a professional programmer/script kiddy just because you're trying to fix GW's epub files so your ereader can handle them.

Sometimes I wonder why I try to fix shit others didn't do properly but got payed for anyway.

I would have made rad grenades optional, given them option between a bolter and twin pistols, and power weapons as an option alongside heavy and special weapons. Maybe rotor cannons with toxic ammo as well.

That way you can have them either as a shooty or an assaulty squad.

Got any tips? Wrath of Magnus has been giving me a hell of a time.

I'm just going the route of the fewest changes, like price drop, better additional options. A full revamp would be cool, but I just want them to not suck for right now ya know?

I fully know. Luckily I play Reaping DG, so every squad is a Destroyer squad.

Chainaxes need a price increase too,since they're +1S now.
Reavers should be roughly the same price as vets.

Because you love us, you big homo.

Is it usually better to have giant 20 man bolter blobs or squads of 10?

I think the best option for WoM is converting it to PDF, because I found 74022 faults in the coding that cause issues when opening it with a E-reader. Fixing that by hand could take ... a long time.
But converting can take a while (think 24 hours easy) because it's a enormous file relative to other epubs.

You can have a go at the coding by unzipping it (can also get all those sweet images out of it that way) and re-zip it once you think you're done. But make sure you name the file like "titelhere.epub" and not "titelhere.zip"

10, because then you can give them a metal box

too many variables to answer that

like

fighting IW or Ordo Reductor AdMech? 10 in rhinos

Are you DG/IH/IF doing any of your buffy RoWs? Sure, generally. Facing arty? No.

>20 man bolter blobs
Looks cooler.
Moar dakka.
Fewer points than 2 10 man squads.
Harder to case morale tests against.
>2 squads of 10
Can fit in rhinos.
Target two squads in the same turn.

It depends on what else is in your army, if we assume your opponent is bringing artillery then you must have something else to cover thos 20 man squads, like Void Shield generators or a Bastion for each squad, you could also give them Kharbydis claws but if you're not doing anything to cover them then its better to have a bunch of squads in rhinos.

Now I guess you could make it work with a bunch of 20 man squads and some sort of forward element like Jetbikes or dreadnoughts in drop pods or something like that, basically anything that will take the heat out of the footsloggers, but they will still get blasted to pieces the moment your opponent looks at them with a Basilisk or Scorpius.

Have a plan is what Im saying, dont just have 60 dudes on the ground and expect them to do anything great or cry when they get blasted to pieces.

Guess I'll pick up some rhinos and have a back up list based around them. Thanks for the advice guys.

>dont just have 60 dudes on the ground and expect them to do anything great
DECIMATION!
But seriously, listen to this man.

Rolled 10 (1d10)

Well, you heard the man.

Yes, YOU heard him!

Rolled 5 (1d10)

That was quick.

Anyone? This has me confused.

>in addition, the first invulnerable save failed by Roboute Guilliman in each particular phase of the game may be re-rolled.

Did he fail an invuln save in this phase? If so reroll the first failure.

Thats how it works, whats so confusing about that? Just roll his invulns one at a time and reroll the first failure that comes up.

>When do I reroll it
>When the rules say I should, or after I failed the reroll I already rolled?
Maybe you should learn to use proper sentences so people know what you're talking about?

Dawn of war 1 sound effects with guest stars DoW2 assault cannon and CHOOM

You couldn't fix the Mechanicum Taghmata epub, but I don't blame you, nobody can

So, two S3 hand flamers are worth more than a power armoured superhuman with a chainsword and rad grenades? I'd say 15 pts. You know, the closest to the double of the other option, rather than the triple.

>Oversized Machinegun Bolter Sounds

You could've just said you play a Non-Crusade List.

Unless you have better examples for most of those, I'm sticking to Space Marine vidya's sounds, I liked them all. Especially...well, all of them.

Does it go:

1) roll first invuln roll
2) fail and reroll, pass
3) cannot reroll next invuln

Or:

1) roll invuln
2) fail and reroll, pass
3) roll next save
4)fail and reroll, fail
5) cannot reroll next invuln.

So is it "deactivated" for the phase on the first one that requires the reroll, or the first that gets through the reroll?

Rolled 8 (1d10)

Oh boy fellow Iron Warriors, I can't wait to destroy a tenth of our Legion!

>Willfully ignoring

They're accurate to their in game effectiveness

Rolled 3 (1d10)

rip

It specifies FIRST failed invuln, you dont reroll ALL failed invuln so it'd be the first case you posted.

Ok, nice. Thank you for that, it was one of those things that is a bit fiddly to explain correctly. My apologies for being thick.

Are the Silent Sisterhood in Talons of E-Money?

Rolled 3 (1d10)

Hit me with your best shot, Iron Tyrant! My great helm and Spiidesh will protect me.

How specialised do you make your lists? I like to have a few choppy units, a flyer or two, some tarpits ect with my Reductor, but I see a lot of lists that are essentially all (or as much as possible) arty or tanks. I know specialising is powerful, but don't these armies get boring to play? I like artillery and tarpits, but it's sometimes nice to mix in some other things.

The rumors say that yes, they are. There won't be enough Sisters of Silence units to take a whole army of them; they'll be a unit entry or two in Talons of the Emperor armies, or attached to loyalist armies as Agents of the Emperor (or is it "of the Sigilite"?)

You will be able to take a relatively-balanced army consisting of 100% Custodes, which I take to mean that they'll have at least one entry in every force org slot.

Spiidesh protects the faithful!

Rolled 6 (1d10)

I fear not the decimation, for if I die I will leave this plane and commune with the Crater.
Now that I remember, the decimation is to be beaten to death with bare hands...I should probably fetch some grenades, just in case.

I am seriously considering screen-capping each individual page with printscreen, save them as .jpeg that way, add them back together and turn that into a pdf. It's ... primitive, but it seems like it's the only way

Why not just use the right ereader?

Honestly I always thought you were Breadanon and that he also happened to be into great helms besides spiders.

And spend money on something that isn't FW resin ?
I also dislike the idea of having a ton of readers in case one clashes with one ebook. Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole E-book idea.

I am. I do however love closed helms and sallets.

>Mk II
>Mk V

I guess I better save up some money and think of some cadre names.

>MkVI

Why is the Sicaran Venator's bigger cousin so bad ? I really want to like the Cerberus, but besides the longer range the gun it has is worse than that of the humble Venator.

What would you do to fix it ?

Well that makes the Imperium of Arachnidkind rise over the Church of the Crater and the Citric Cult
>MkIII

>Well that makes the Imperium of Arachnidkind rise over the Church of the Crater and the Citric Cult
All three can merge together.
>mk4

That's the wrong picture. My bad. My phone's photo library is way more unorganized than my computer's.

Well I do follow all of them.
Eh, it's a paint in the ass to do so from the phone itself, have some SW MkVI

Explain this shit man!

Oh that thing. I have seen worse.
What prices are you using?

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by half-assedness and ignorance.

It's like they're trying to discourage you from taking units that no longer exist in M41.

It's probably there because that book contains the rules for contemptors and cataphractii in 40k. 30k librarian rules say you pick a discipline from the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and, while there's a fair chance they'll be in the main rulebook next edition, at the moment the librarius/technomancy/fulmination/geomancy disciplines aren't in the 40k rulebook.

I have finally decided what to buy next, a predator and 2 Deredeos once FW starts selling the lascannon arms.

Shit that's in high demand gets scanned and added to the OP links p quickly.
