Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

Are they any good?

>implying I know anything about tau
>implying that I wasn't just making a generalization based off of most of the boxes being troops and a DT

No, Still only 1W 3+Sv in an edition with tons of high strength low AP.

Planning on kit-bashing some Dark Eldar Wyches, Kabalites, Wracks, and Daemonettes to make some counts-as Chaos Cultists for my Slaaneshi Chaos Marine warband.

Fluff-wise, they have a bunch of Eldar slave-troops because they raided a near-crippled Craftrworld and plundered the absolute fuck out of it, and took every child Eldar they could as a slave as well as stole a ton of Eldar wraith-constructs and vehicles. They love to use these broken, half-insane Eldar that they have corrupted to Slaanesh as slave troops against other Eldar, and revel in the glorious corruption of Eldar technology to fight the Eldar.

Would people have a problem with me doing this? Rules-wise they just Cultists, but I could see some people getting pissy about it.

How would you fix Berzerkers?

Point decrease, 2A.

Assault in general needs an total overhaul.

Are they at least fun to play then?

That is relative. Do you like marines? Then play marines.
>What is google?

+1 Attack is all they really need to be a good choice. They'd still have some flaws, but any good unit SHOULD have some flaws.

Just asking some questions, no need to get upset my dude!

New WD info
Cadia will fall. Inquisitor Greyfax has been realised by Tranzyn from his tesseract vault. Tranzyn will be on cadia, phalanx will show on cadia(fist will fight daemons will fight daemons), Belisarius is trying to undersatand cadian pylons.
Image is showing Imperial forces reatriting from cadia guided by the Celestin's vision.

2A base profile.
Chainaxes are a free swap for Specialist Weapon / Shred.
Can take Power Weapons mixed into the squad. Champion additionally gains Chainfists, Eviscerators and maybe a few exotic ones.
Introduce a new vehicle with Assault Ramps that comes in below 150pts.

Chainaxes should be +1S like in 30k, there is literally no reason for it to be different since they're AP4 in 30k too.

Also give em' FnP. If Death Company has it I don't see why they shouldn't.

And I forgot to mention no new model to Abby

40k gettin age of sigmared!

Making a Ravenwing list (1000 to begin with), should I go with a CAD or is the Strike Force good enough to give up OS?

So. Elysian Long Range Scanners. Do these prevent Genestealer Cults Cult Ambush on turn1 when they use Infiltrate to Cult Ambush?

Somewhat 40k related but are there rifle grenades that could destroy tanks? I want to do pic related for some of my tankbustas but i want something to go off of incase someone gets anal that "That cant be s8 ap3!"

Anything that stops infiltrators also stops Cult Ambush. So yea, fuck with genestealers.

Sure, why not?

mega lame, but expected

Loses Independent Character. Gains Bodyguards. Unchanged besides that. Points not listed.

Source: White Dwarf

Can you state why this happens? My opponent is rules lawyering faggot and unless its a RAW, he doesn't take it.

GSC is infiltrate. End of discussion.

Cult Ambush is still Infiltrate. It even says so in their Cult Ambush rule that it's a form of Infiltrate.. So again, anything that fucks with infiltrate will fuck with it.

Doesn't sound like much fun to play against

Ah true! Cult Ambush says
"Units with this special rule that Infiltrate, or that arrive from Reserve or Ongoing Reserve,"
So they are not deploying via Infiltrate (so Servo Skulls dont work if they would be in the game anymore anyway) but Scannr has 4+ chance to stop and 4 scanners roll 4x4+ to stop every Cult Ambush. So on average only one of every 16 unit could pull cult ambush off on turn 1.

Anyone have any experience with this? It's the last day it's on sale, and I might grab one.

...

They are still infiltrating/arriving from reserves, and are affected by rules that target those methods of deployment. That's why cult ambush can still trigger things like interceptor.

>Servo Skulls dont work
they do, but only on the units attempting to infiltrate. Multiple scanners would be a more complete solution, though, since they shut down infiltration completely AND mess with the reserve rolls later in the game.

Does it explain the presence of the Dark Eldar? Is he allowing the Imperial forces to retreat through the Webway?

> Ctrl f "Warhammer 40,"

This is why. People who put in Warhammer 40,000 General are fucking mongoloid fagniggers that should just shoot themselves to cleanse the genepool

>Cawl, spends 10,000 years trying to understand Cadian Pylons. Doesn't. Cadia Falls. Trazyn shows up claiming to know shit about Pylons, Cadia falls anyway

Looks like 13th Black Crusade (attempt 2) is off to a great start for the Empire

Well at Battle Brothers this year it wasn't so I'll take an official GW tourney over you, thanks anyway

On the one hand, user has an edition, gay as it was. Also included previous thread link, which is nifty, but high maintenance for low payoff.

On the otherhand, does not use my method of attaching Spoiler Tag to draw attention to list builder, and uses an older version of basic general that's missing a few factions.

Both have Warhammer 40,000 General in there. searching 40kg is guaranteed not to proc non-general threads. Filters will take you further, but there are limits especially if you like other content TG has to offer.

Guys...?
I know im I2 but...

>Brothers retreat into the Webway! But first Imma take this sick ass selfie, Greyfax, Brother Marcellus say "heretic" awww yiss, that's going on BattleBrotherBook

Just make it count as Tankhammer. The ork is not shooting it, he's using it as a spear.

For the sale price, certainly worth it.

I love pluck foam trays, and at 5 a pop it's a great deal. Even $25 for the bags is pretty decent if you want to one-stop-shop. I just wish there were more bags to pick from.

tankhammers are fucking garbage

If I have a unit of 3 Incubi, an Archon, and a Succubus. Can they all be 1 unit inside a dedicated Venom? And does it have to be specifically someone's Venom, or can any of them take it as the dedicated transport and be lumped in there?

So what, are they worse Grey Knights?

They can all be inside the Venom, and it doesn't matter who's Venom it is.

Drop veterans with four frag cannons WILL destroy way more than their points. I have lost hundreds of points to them with no effort on my opponent's part whatsoever. Absolute bullshit on a stick.

Ey lads, what's a decent Skitarii force? Say 1k points? I'm probably just gonna buy SC boxes and sell the tech priest so if the list uses a few dunecrawlers it's even better.

Eradication box and a domnius maniple box.

Guys do you think there are full kits in it, or just tervigon variant?

Most likely the complete kit. The only internally-modular kit they've made is the rhino, where they just provide an extra sprue based on what kind of tank the kit is meant for.

You can doublecheck the tervigon sprue to see how difficult it can be to limit it to tervigon-only.

First you buy some clanrats and some warpfire throwers, then you get a doom bell and a Boneripper.

I guess I'll pick them up. What size is what, though?

Anyone know where I can find some cover/scenery for cheap? I have to cover a 6'x8' table and need a shit ton without breaking the bank.

I looked into Streets of Malifaux and it seems almost perfect, but I'm not sure how many boxes I would need to build it.

>go to Walmart
>buy Styrofoam blocks and gray spray paint
>???
>profit

Would prefer the option of them not looking like shit.

Then don't make them look like shit

This is how people have been making scenery for decades and it works fine if you know what you're doing.

they'd had to have completely remade the tervigon sprue to make it anything other than the complete kit, so it's probably the complete kit.

Played a 2000pt Imp Guard vs Death Guard game today Veeky Forums. Against extremely sick looking Death Guard I could say. Would you lads be interested in some more pics? I have a few more I can dump. And show me your games too anons.

>you know what you're doing.

Precisely why I would rather just buy something.

Threads dead i don't see why not

>not wanting to improve yourself as a hobbyist

Do it GGA.

hi guys, I mostly frequent /wip/ and havent been here in months, but I just finished some custodes and found out they had 40k rules. My question is, how well would a squad of 5 custodes go with a pretty mishmash IG force in a game of around 1200-1850 pts? worth taking?

We ded soon

They'd have no assault transport so you'd have to foot slog them or risk deepstrike to get into assault so it would be a bit hard to support them well.

i was thinking i might field a chimera in a fast attack slot, park it next to them and jump them in turn one. as allies, they can use transports, right? just not start in them, since it's not a dedicated option?

i'm not too familiar with the rules.

Dumping now. If you want I can batrep it too. It was really close at the beginning. Couldn't hit a thing with all of my shooting.

>If you want I can batrep it too

Please do.

...

Can a chimera take non-IG bulky models? If so that could work to get them forwards faster.

Augur Array on ANY IG vehicle (I stick one on my Leman Russes for my Tempestus Scions). As long as it is one of your units, units arriving from deepstrike within 6 inches of a vehicle with an Augur Array do not scatter.

What lists did you guys run?

You can let them use a dedicated transport, but the fast attack option is probably best. I can't remember if a unit has to start in its dedicated transport.

When Custodes get into assault, they are fucking monsters. T5, W2, S5, makes them a brick wall falling on whatever they assault. Spears give them even more durability by blocking dangerous attacks that might break their armor. Sentinel blades are okay, if you want a bunch of attacks with powerswords, but I'd just give them Spears for STR 6 AP2 at initiative.

Ayy lmao

Those plasma troopers must be shitting themselves.

>Oh god we brought the wrong special weapons what do we do!?!

I'm busy experimenting with Chimera Chassis so no games for a while, but my army's got a third tank now and depending on how the Chimera turns out I'll probably move on to the special weapons troopers soon. Once I finally have a midfield presence I can go back to the tabletop.

afaik bulky is no problem on it's own, it just means they take 2 slots, so a chimera with space for 10 can hold 5 bulky models. i dont think they can take dedicated since itsnot on the custodes wargear, unless theres some addendum about imperial allies im not aware of. and taking it as dedicated is the only way to start in it, i think

> shit painted IG versus shit painted chaos.
> HIY GUIS WANT 2 WATCH
How about no

I meant having an IG dedicated transport to free up FA slots.

We played Maelstrom and started off with Night Fighting and him getting first turn. He shot his Land Raider's lascannons at my Chimera destroying It's multilaser and fired the rest of his units at my Guard blob and scored one point for controlling an objective. My turn 1 could get no psychic powers off or hits on ANY of his units. Ended up just running up my Guardsmen to grab three objectives and scored two points.

I'm new to 40k, sorry if this question is dumb.

When I read that certain Space Marine units can take vehicles as "dedicated transports" does this mean that the vehicle ends up being "free" in terms of points? Or is the only bonus that you can start with them inside the vehicle on the first turn?

Also if you have a 10 man tactical squad can you still choose a Razorback as your dedicated transport? If so how do you handle the other five marines that don't fit?

>forgetting edition
>forgetting to link the other threads so people know there's a new thread
What a bunch of faggots you are

Post better.

the bonus is they start in the vehicle, and it doesnt take up a fast attack slot in your force organisation, meaning you wont be chewing up a spot for other fast attack options. you still pay full points costs for the vehicle and it's wargear

a friend and i played for MONTHS before i started auditing his lists and worked out he was fielding 3-4 drop pods for free

>Or is the only bonus that you can start with them inside the vehicle on the first turn?
that's it

>Also if you have a 10 man tactical squad can you still choose a Razorback as your dedicated transport?
yes

> If so how do you handle the other five marines that don't fit?
they have to walk, or you use the razorback as a 55-point mobile heavy weapon instead of a transport

>Or is the only bonus that you can start with them inside the vehicle on the first turn?

This.

>If so how do you handle the other five marines that don't fit?

They have to walk, best not to do this.

12. Chimera has 12 transport spots. Everything in the IG codex has 0, 6 or 12 transport slots.

>If so how do you handle the other five marines that don't fit?

Split the squad in half, a 5 man squad with a special weapon stays in the Razorback and another with a heavy weapon starts on some ruin or objective.

Post your army and recent games, then.

Few are artists, all are critics.

Got it, thanks.

If you did have a ten man squad and took a Razorback and five of them had to hoof it do they still have to try and maintain cohesion?

I'm saying the idea that just because they're visibly female that they're sexualized is wrong and implies that it's impossible not to think of the female body as anything but a sex object.

Their armour is supposed to make them look FEMALE and to make them look POWERFUL.
It's supposed to be female empowerment, not 'fap bait'. That fact that some people get off to it is meaningless.
