What are the odds of a new Abaddon model with the Fall of Cadia stuff?
Nolan Howard
i think the problem is that orks are known as being a extremely strong race but IIRC they aren't known to be swift. But their strength still doesnt translate into the rules at all.
Benjamin Lopez
I'd probably say pretty high.
Parker Foster
I'm new to the game and I read the psychic phase stuff but it's all still pretty confusing.
I want to take a Sorcerer for my HQ in a chaos space marines army, and I heard that psychic shriek is a good psychic power to take. So if I'm correct, I can just make my Sorcerer take all his powers from the telepathy table, and he'll get shriek automatically no matter what. My question is: let's say I want to just take the cheap points cost sorcerer and just use him for psychic shriek instead of spending points on melee stuff. Is this a good idea? Should I make him mastery level 2 or 3? Or give him spell familiar?
If all you want is psychic shriek, all you need is a barebones level 1 sorceror.
Matthew Ross
because he's such a shoe-in, I'm more interested in seeing if they'll do anything else for chaos.
plastic typhus? plastic 'zerks to go with plastic kharn? cypher? some random character like the inquisitor/magos?
Robert Williams
Chaos just got their new models with the 1k sons stuff and probably Abby.
Michael Wood
>plastic typhus? plastic 'zerks to go with plastic kharn? cypher? some random character like the inquisitor/magos?
Honestly of those listed my only guess would be MAYBE Cypher. I'd be expecting a more basic box such as Chosen / CSM / Havocs

PLASTIC POWER ARMOURED LORD/SORCEROR
FUCKIN DO IT GW
Jeremiah Morgan
Honestly, I like what they did for Ork's strength, by giving them all furious charge. Boyz being 3/4 Nobs being 4/5 (stronger than any marine on the charge bar blood angels!) Warbosses being 5/6 (6 being the baseline for giant monsters)
The Problem with them is shit initiative and shit wargear, the initiative can be fixed by making 'ere we go like a furious charge for inititive, +1 I on the charge. Wargear would be much harder to fix and would require moving everything around and adjusting their points costs.
Caleb Richardson
posting for new thread :
Speaking of Genestealer cults I was looking at my competitve list and was thinking : I generally run the first curse formation ( alongside two subterranean uprisings brood cycle and Lord of the cult for a magus)
Im starting to second guess this. If I take out the 20 unit of Genestealers with 10 scythes I can generally pump up the hybrid metamorphs to 53 across six squads all with cult icon and all with claws so WS 5 S6 and 2 units of 6 abberrants with Power Hammers
That seems WAY more useful than the first curse, anyone have any experience running that?
William Torres
I kinda wish thery would make the red thirst +1s +1I on the charge.
Carson Miller
Any infor on what Fall of Cadia is? Is it 40k End Times?
Nathaniel Hernandez
Updated berzerkers would make my dick diamonds.
Probably wont happen though. Guess ill just keep pimping them out with forgeworld shit
Lincoln Carter
Red thirst is a formation bonus and +2s on the charge would be too much unless they removed furious charge meaning they got nothing outside formations.
Christopher Price
it's another warzone book
no one knows more and no one will no more until GW puts out more information themselves
Carter Nguyen
alright thanks
when do people actually take higher mastery levels? I know sorcerers on bikes are popular, to go with other bikers or spawn, so I'm suspecting that it has something to do with buffing the unit the psyker is in? For context, my idea with my sorcerer is just stick him in a rhino with 9 marines and use psychic shriek for more anti-infantry power. What are people casting that makes them take more mastery levels and spell familiar?
Benjamin Bennett
Thoughts on this? Just getting into 40k and would like to go World Eaters, tried to build something off of the Start Collecting box.
Dominic Bailey
is rerolling warlord traits that good of a thing that every formation needs to have it included?
Bentley Ross
Quick noob question, but I'm looking to get into 40k. I like the lore and mechanics of Genestealer cults, although the price (comparatively) is a little off putting.
1d4chan for GC says you can get cheap models from buying from the Deathwatch: Overkill box- Is there a better place than Ebay for this or is that the go to?
Lucas Nguyen
Since I'm in a generous mood, I've overhauled your list. This is doable from the Start Collecting and has some points left over for garnish.
Carson Walker
basic CAD gives it and no one seems to mind, also there are some really terrible warlord traits like all the warlord's and unit's ccw gain soul blaze
Eli Parker
Hm, i can see it being useful but from most batreps ive watched unless its some like insanely broken warlord trait then it usually doesn't affect the game enough to even be worth considering to reroll.
Christian Brooks
not that guy but does traitor legions supplement mean you can't take artifacts from the base codex? if not, I'd just replace the stock terminator combi-bolter with axe of blind fury to get an extra attack from the stock power weapon
Cameron Russell
right and how often has it come up in the games you've played?
Ryder Gutierrez
I'm a fan of the ol' claw/fist combo but yeah, there's nothing stopping you taking Axe of Blind Fury, to trade some versatility for extra chopping.
Dominic Williams
are there any disadvantages to stripping a figure multiple times with break fluid? the only possible danger i could think of is loss of finer details due to excess pressure using a brush.
will multiple immersions in break fluid have any effect on the hardness of the plastic or the bonds of the superglue?
Gavin Watson
>sisters of cattle
Caleb Butler
I use Dawn Power Dissolver. Safe and clean.
Nathan Long
i wouldn't suggest a dangerous material that can easily eat through metal for stripping models, get power cleaner or simple green instead
Jacob Clark
My unit of Bullgryn took a wound from a Dark apostle eith that WT. Soul blaze killed the priest, replacing zealot with default Ld7. My Bullgryn wall got swept immediately.
Luke Wilson
Magnus the Red waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were traitors in the Imperium. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Emperor were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. Magnus was a Primarch for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the Immaterium and he said to Emperor "I want to be in the warp daddy..." Emperor said "No! You will BE CORRUPT BY DAEMONS" There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the Temple of the Serpent Lodge on Davin he knew there were daemons. "This is Ahriman" the vox link crackered. "You must warn the Emperor!" So Magnus gotted his mind bullets and blew up the Webway. "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the Custodes "I will shoot at him" said Malcador and he fired the rocket missiles. Magnus plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the Webway fell and they were trapped and not able to kill. "No! I must kill the daemons" he shouted The vox said "No, Magnus. You are the daemons" And then Magnus was a traitor.
Lincoln Morales
I'd drop a few of the marines and take a raptor squad instead of the spawn
jumping meltaguns are 2gud
Connor Anderson
But you can only double up the specials in the CSM squads at 10 marines.
Evan Gutierrez
I want an army that can dominate the psychic phase, with lots of varied powers.
Easton Hernandez
and I'm saying those meltaguns would do better on raptors than they would on rhino marines
Gabriel Murphy
Tzeentch daemons.
Mason Powell
The Company Champion should also have a relic blade, making it 1845.
I'm not sure about which Chapter Tactic to use. Either Imperial Fists, or Iron Hands.
Feedback please.
Brandon Jenkins
Mixed daemons
Gabriel Long
sounds hilarious, but soul blaze happens at the end of the turn well after combat and you can look out sir it while it's also randomly allocated.
even with the wound done to you like a shooting attack you're still locked in combat so you wouldn't need another morale check
that or i'm completely talking out of my ass now. enjoy your xmas eve
Jason Ross
Night Lords using Trait Legion rules or HH Legion rules?
Owen Hughes
Just updated regular CSM would be great.
Adrian Bailey
Is there any real reason to use a Baneblade variant when Knights exist? I kind of want to build a giant Admech pimp tank, but they cost stupid numbers of points for something that is essentially a Knight with a big gun and no D-Choppa or Stomp, and if I want a huge expensive gun of cool the Ordinatii exist. Wouldn't want to get one if it's just going to be a display bit.
Luke Wood
In my experiemce It's more to get rid of worthless traits than to fish for the perfect one.
Adrian Nelson
>that or i'm completely talking out of my ass now
Nope you're correct would've had to go something like this: >1/2 (4+) for Soul Blaze to go off >1/3 (5+) for Soul Blaze to Wound (majority 5 due to Bullgryn) >1/4 for Wound to be allocated to Priest >1/6 to fail Look Out Sir >1/2 chance to fail 4++
Blake Morgan
Ahriman did nothing wrong
Kevin Harris
Nope. So you can have your flying DP of nurgle with FNP and Black Mace.
Josiah Cook
Couldn't even be assed to make an edition.
Nicholas Brown
HH for 30k TL for 40k
Christopher Sanders
live and learn. i've made big mistakes like that before
>seeker chariot and exalted charge invisible unit of grey knight interceptors that just flamed my pink horror and herald unit to death >i'm under the impression the chariot rider takes d6 hits on flamer overwatch so lesser chariot dies >exalted makes it to combat but we're convinced that they need to roll to hit >exalted chariot does 1 easily saved wound then rider gets bopped on the head
looking back i really wasn't paying attention that day. chariots count as a single unit, not an open topped transport so i should've taken only 1 wound to the chariot. also the hammer of wrath hit instantly so no 6s to hit
Jason Ramirez
How does this look for a fluffy Biel-Tan list?
Xavier Peterson
Forgot image
Elijah White
Pretty empty.
Blake Taylor
>fluffy Biel-Tan >even fields a Phoenix Lord
user, you rule.
Gavin Sanders
Making an army that fits both purposes is kinda hard. Wtf am I supposed to do with a 10man Volkite Terror Squad or a unit of 20 bolters for 40k?
Gavin Perez
what are the best books set in warhammer 40K? I want to pick one up for spare reading time. 15 Hours was great.
Evan Jenkins
Eisenhorn Trilogy
Most anything else by Dan Abnett or Sandy Mitchell. Some of Aaron Dembski-Bowden's stuff like the Night Lords trilogy.
Hunter Bennett
Rate my emergency terrain, /40ktg/.
Took me a good evening to finish.
Charles Cox

Austin Wilson

I want more of you to play Eldar
Luis Reed
>If you do play Orkz or vanilla 'nids... yeah, the game is pretty fucking bleak right now. Care to guess which two xenos armies I play?
Joseph Ross
ADB's stuff is okay but ONLY if you are okay with fluff rape, he ruins a lot of characters but, by themselves, his books are okay.
The Beast arises was fun, there's a link to it somewhere around here. Plus some of those one-shot Deathwacth stories if you're looking for something light.
I'm reading through Ben Counter's Grey Knights books, and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. He's a bit flowery at times but his characters are good and few capture the feel of 40k as well as him
Carson Bell
But.... SoS look horrible....
Mason Hughes
Quick question: I want to create for my space marines a 10th company task force. THat means I need 3 units of scouts, I have 5 regular scouts, and 3 scouts on bikes. Can a Land Speeder Storm unit as be the third unit? Can you disembark those guys? it looks like they are a fixed part of the vehicle.
Ryan Lewis
this is stupid. gw reuses too much shit already, their cads are like Holy Stc prints that they can only copy paste on, its seldom they make actual new stuff like gsc/skitarii. look at the number of rhino prints... SoS look exactly like DE, its probably three clicks away in cad.
Justin Clark
No, only scout units or scout bike units count. Like it says in the book.
Jose Morales
space wolves. psychic hood, adamantium will, rune priests on big cocked wolves
Jackson Lopez
There's a special feeling you get when you field one. I personally only use mine though when its games i don't actually care about winning, like when my group insists on playing 700 odd some points with as few models as possible. I never win, but its always fun to watch them scramble to blow it and my dominus to hell and back.
Asher Jones
my sides
Christian Smith
Not bad.... Statue looks really out-of-place though.... is it just for scale?
Hunter Miller
Is there any quick and easy way to paint black power armour?
Leo Stewart
The guys on the speeder are just cosmetic. You need 3-5 units of Scouts or Scout Bikes.
Kevin Wood
I was considering a Hellhammer to turn into a cool ride for my Archmagos, build out the hull or the turret into a command platform with some control consoles and such.
I'd imagine it works better with Heresy Mechanicum since they can give it Interceptor and Tank Hunters, as well as +1 damage table, so you have a S10 AP0 Ignores Cover Ordnance Tank Hunters 7" Interceptor Turreted blast with a few guaranteed repair rolls, which is a hell of a gun, but in 40k I imagine it would only see use with a big blob of Conscripts around it or some Knight is going to walk up and smack it with a sword.
Ian Clark
To clarify: I meant additional 5 scouts that are in the LSS, not the Land Speeder itself. Otherwise I buy a regular bunch of scouts without dedicated transport.
Jose Brooks
Can a haemonculus in a covens list take wargear from the regular dark eldar codex?
Luke White
Sorry, you are right, I can't take it.
Angel Morales
What do we think? I'm new to eldar and made this list with the old Elder battleforce and a farseer that I picked up yesterday.
Adrian Long
Try something more industrial looking? Got any Rhinos? The partition from inside those has a little monitor thingy on it that might work?
Hudson Smith
1. Spray black. Edge highlight with Eshin Gray. Can look sharp and not to bad if you've got good brush control.
2. Dark Grey, Wash with Nuln Oil. Easiest, but probably the worst looking. Results in an "Off- Black" with minor shading.
3. Lots of layers of very thin (use medium) very dark greys/brown on top of black edge highlighting up to a grey highlight. Looks the best, but lots of work.
Colton Martinez
Looks fine from here.
Nicholas Brooks
Is there a Dark Angels 7th pdf kicking around?
Isaiah Evans
Not yet. I'll go on a bigger shopping spree next year and get a lot of vehicles. In January there are a few boxes for armoured assault that could be interesting.
Lincoln Jones
You forgot this
4. Base in Leadbelcher. Use 7 consecutive washes of Nuln Oil.
Connor Kelly
I just ordered Battle for Vedros for my girlfriend and I to play at our FLGS. What am I in for?
Blake Russell
>does traitor legions supplement mean you can't take artifacts from the base codex?
Nope, you can take either/or.
However, you cannot take two artefacts on the same model, and can only take one of each artefact per army.
Juan Ward
I don't believe so they have their own relic and war gear options. I wouldn't mind if they ever got haywire grenades. I can never seem to get enough anti-tank in my lists.
Connor Davis
>no edition >no link to previous thread who keeps letting these spergs make threads
Robert Campbell
Other guy wasn't me. I just grabbed a few bits to glue into place. I agree though, maybe it'd look more appropriate in weathered bronze?
Anthony Butler
All the lazy idiots who can't be bothered to do it themselves.
Hudson Powell
Repeating my request from the previous thread. The Primus Medicae is supposedly getting released next week, and I'm currently on vacation in the asscrack of America, miles away from any GW store. Are there any UKbros who would do me a tremendous favour and nab one for me? I would pay you for your trouble.
Carson Cook
2 Count as plasma in 8 man bolter squad?
Jeremiah Clark
Thoughts on the following list?
Eldar Warhost (always run 6")
>Farseer >8x Storm Guardians - 2x Fusion Guns, 2x Power Swords >8x Storm Guardians - 2x Fusion Guns, 2x Power Swords >8x Storm Guardians - 2x Fusion Guns, 2x Power Swords >Vyper - Brightlance >3x War Walkers - 6x Scatter Lasers >3x Support Batteries - 3x D-Cannons >Wraithknight - Glaive and Shield
Basically the goal is a fast list with lots of punch, I feel like its a decent TAC list (lacks a little AA but War Walkers with TL are serviceable enough given the lack of fliers in my meta). Farseer will spend most of his time with the D-Cannon batteries just tossing out buffs and maybe an Eldritch Storm.
Cameron Flores
i think i've seen this list before, have you tried it a few times? where are those battle reports?
Landon Sanchez
They all look the same, though. The best I can do is use them as plasma, but there is a very real chance that I'd be sitting on 30 Volkite Marines if I decide to go with Terror Assault.
Bentley Butler
I've been tinkering with similar ideas - some iteration of Space Elves of multiple flavors.I think I've landed on the final iteration - it misses out on some of the fun of Warp Spiders (but also misses out on their shitty models) and doesn't play the stereotypical 'bikes and D' Eldar list.
I'm concern about GSC obviously but I've played a few test games against a very good GSC player and the Harlequins are pretty great at shredding them and keeping them honest.
Logan Parker
For some asinine reason I can't buy that box here. Would have been useful as gift instead of what I cobbled together from the webstore.
