Did I do anything wrong Except not having rhinos and taking a plasma pistol
James Perry
r8 Decided against the knight, I think I'd have trouble getting pick up games.
Dominic King
Decent casual list.
Looks solid.

Good to see someone using the footslogging heavy weapons gunline to heart instead of bikespam

I went in to my local store today not only for the guy who I was I supposed to be having a game with to not turn up, but to find out no one else did. Out of the usual regulars that turn up Saturday mornings no one else was there, no one was playing games or painting miniatures, just a few parents browsing.
I think the hobby is dying out in my local area, I want to play but I have no one to play it with. What can one even do about this?
Asher Anderson
If I use the Nemesis Strike Force, which allows deep striking turn 1, does that mean I can deep strike my entire army, as long as at least one unit arrives turn 1?

What the fuck were they thinking?

Samuel Myers
I have a very small collection of chaos space marines and i want to expand it so that i can do some 1000ish point games. I have a chaos rhino, a helbrute with multi melta/power claw or fist (cant tell) 10 CSM, 1 with Plasma Gun, 1 with Missile Launcher and i think 4 with close combat weapons, 5 Khorne Berserkers 2 with Chainaxes and the chaos lord from a dark vengeance box. Now as best i can tell from random guessing the best thing to get would be 10ish more CSM, a chaos spawn box and two boxes of cultists, then another rhino and a predator.
Am i right or am i insane? I really don't know this game that well.
Jackson Smith
Plasma pistols for anything more than 5pts will always be insane. And even then it'd be a serious consideration.
Daniel Walker
If you don't have the CSM codex already you should get it, and the traitor legions supplement
Jackson Morales
>What can one even do about this? Tabletop Simulator
Asher Mitchell
Plasma pistols have been overcosted for 4 editions now. 5 points and they'd be worth it, but 15 is fucking nuts
Justin Hernandez
I am total noob (played 1 game so far). Can you advise if this army list is ok? If not - what should I change?
Do I have any changes in competitive games (local tournaments) with Black Templars or should I simply start collecting World Eaters as my second army?
James Ortiz
You could do a 1k build with that. Have you picked a legion? If not read around, pick one and come back for some recommendations
William James
Yeah, malestrom is so bad. Replace with a world eater CAD with khorn marines, you will do better
Cooper Rodriguez
Yes yes but what models should i get? I just wanted to paint some of those "your dudes" and give them an edgy name like Slave Pulverizers or Blood Bleeders or maybe even Chaos Ultramarines.
James Sanchez
It costs 30 points to put plasma sponsons on a Leman Russ. That's 15 points per cannon. I can now only assume that despite differences in size, all plasma weapons are equally rare and equally difficult to maintain.
Samuel Bell
Everything in the Grey Knights codex is overcosted. Fucking EVERYTHING. Even the Dreadknight gets got as soon as it appears.
Brayden Evans
>older Codex is less cost efficient than new ones
No shit
Easton Powell
Run the beserkers as MoK chaos marines.
They basically have the same stats and equipment but chaos marines are cheaper.
Aaron Watson
There are books older than GKs that are far more cost efficient.
Colton Sullivan
skitarii have plasma calivers for 30pts apiece (then again, those are assault 3)
Jaxon Perry
Can I run this: Castellans of the Imperium HQ: non-Iron Hands Chapter Master, Iron Hands Tekmarine Traps: 2x Skitarii Rangers, 2x Tactical marines (non-Iron Hands)
Jonathan King
>Cherrypicking as an argument against a generalization Don't do it
Luke Ramirez
You can do "your dudes" with any of the legions, it'd be better if you knew the rules behind stuff and points cost before you start buying.
The stuff you mentioned sounds good though, you might want to magnetize the weapon options on the predator.
Josiah Long
I do agree GK got destroyed with new book, but my Dreadknights get shit done for me on the table, even as hideously expensive as they seem to be.
Brody Hill
Ehhhhh. Google tells me Night Lords make chaos spawn better. I will play them, because i like chaos spawn and i like bat wings on helmets.
Noah Long
Their offensive ability is still great, but they're still 200+pts for 4 T6 wounds. Which really isn't very much.
James Long
Sell me your army. Why should I play them?
Lucas Flores
No Skitarii allowed in CoTI, since for some reason giving shooty troops Hatred was overpowered and they shouldn't be allowed to hang out with Guardsmen. I would probably use it if I could.
The Skitarii specialty seems to be taking Rapid Fire 24" guns and making them 18" Assault 3. Radium Carbines math out to Assault 3 Bolters against anything but T6+, where they're a bit better.
I think PlasCals could do with being 25 points each, since ATM they're probably as much as the squad carrying them, but they're nice for a Warlord unit.
Hudson Ramirez
We're fucking Space Paladins. You wanna have some ornate-as-fuck armour and a fucking POWER HALBERD, and go one-on-one with a Greater Daemon and have a good shot at winning?
GREY KNIGHTS, FUCKERS.
Actually, a single-man unit like Lone Wolves would be fucking cool for Grey Knights. Just a single GK Terminator with access to any Grey Knight weapon
Joshua Young
Imperial Guard, a bunch of normal men and women who fight against interdimensional monstrosities that can kill fucking Space Marines. Also we have Baneblades.
Joshua Nelson
Why Skitarri cannot with Guard? Fluff? Also bringing troops without same faction HQ is normal?
Samuel Powell
They're a pretty solid army overall, and robots kick ass.
Hudson Lewis
We build all the shit all those other people brag about so much, we have planets that produce a truly stupid amount of stuff, our fleets and guns are the best in the Imperium and contenders for best in the galaxy, we have fucking awesome models and rules, and we're the only people not stupid enough to have our strategists slumming it with the idiots. Also, we make a habit of raiding the Eye of Terror for fun and profit. Our armies are a reasonable size, with numbers high enough to actually be a galactic presence unlike the Marines of any kind, and there's loads of room for Your Dudes.
Join the Omnissiah, we have black-hole cannons.
John Davis
No fluff about that, they hang with Guard lots. Just the writers being retarded as usual.I don't think there's a requirement for having a HQ of he same faction to take troops, no.
Bentley Carter

Connor Nguyen
For me Librarians could sometimes carry a game, but then they changed it so psykers can no longer cast more powers than they have ML, so no more going supernova and casting the many Sanctic powers a GK librarian can have (that relic book is great)
Aiden Price
If Guilliman doesn't have Eternal Warrior, I guess the 355 point combo of Darkstrider and a Gunfort will be more common. 60% chance of instant death on Guillybilly every round of shooting is the best poor blues can do.
Eli Reed
lol
Liam Lee

Joshua Jenkins
We have literal Angels as units, paint everything Blood Red and Gold, and we have genetic PTSD which causes us lose control to the Blood Lust in the heat of battle. Basically Muhrines but with interesting lore and unique units.
Oliver Hill
>Only mostly ignored by Chaos because there are more tasty morsels around >Only reason the Imperium hasn't wiped them out is because the bulk of the Imperial armies is tied up dealing with Armageddon, 13th Black Crusade, and a number of Tyranid hive tendrils to name a few >Fucking weebs that are such pussies they have a literal pussy on their face.

>May take items from the Melee Weapons, Terminator Special Weapons and/or Special Issue Wargear lists
I'm worried it's undercosted, but that might just be because

Landon Williams
One more time. What armies do girls you know play?
We ate everything in our home galaxy, so now we're gonna nom on this one
Josiah Thompson
Fair warning, I think a lot of people have any mention of that particular legion filtered because there are dedicated shit posters that have all but ruined it for everyone.
Jayden Reyes
You should play Thousand Sons because even when you lose a game, you can still claim victory because ...
"Just as planned ..."
Lincoln Perry

Easton Wilson
So always?
Tyler Gomez
He needs an Oath of Moment.
Aiden Ward
Thats why I fucking love the Guard
Jose Turner
It's actually either overcosted or underpowered, leaning toward the latter. A Grey Knight solo dude should be fucking terrifying, because rule of cool states the smaller a unit of dudes is, the stronger they should be individually. He should be deathwishing into fights with shit like Greater Daemons.
Maybe have a special rule where his force weapon is always active, so just give him Instant Death on all his attacks?
>play against friends Eldar >the better I do, the poutier/more rules lawyer-y he gets >gets pissy when I role his dice instead of mine >when I eventually win comes up with X,Y,Z excuses as to why I won instead of shaking hands on a well played game Eldar players, not even once

Leo Reed
>plastic brother captain never
Fun fact: Voldus' model has his head as a seperate piece. So if you want a brother captain or grand master wielding a hammer, swap his head and ta-dah, plastic brother captain/grand master.
What I want is a plastic Brotherhood Champion and for Brotherhood Champions to actually be good. I'm the world's only PAGK fan.
Robert Clark
How do I do Blood Angels user? I loved playing Space Hulk when I was a kid and would love to do that style of experience again.
Landon Johnson
Land Raiders.
Xavier Taylor
Does Cawl work with Skitarii? I really want a way to give my boys in red a leader on the battlefield, and if I can give them techpriest who leads from the front that would be sweet. I'm jist kind of worried about the fluffyness pf it. Also, is a Battle Maniple alone good at 1000 points or does no ObSec and only 2 troops fuck me?
Jonathan Jackson
Run detachments/formations with the red thirst special rule. Use assault weapons. Fast vehicles. Bikes.
What kind of list are you looking for?
Adam Hall
Our Chapter Master is marksman, tactical genius, expert of gorilla warfare and actualy guy from "marine copypasta". We are thrice as shooty as typical marines and thrice as accurate for that matter too. Anything a plasmagun can shoot through, our boltguns and boltpistols can shoot through better. Ever wondering why Tau never bothered conquering Imperium? That's right, they were too scared of the sneaky marines behind their backs and their boltguns of doom. Even in Taros Campaign, Tau fire warriors targeted the marines in camo first because their accuracy was feared and respected.
Kayden Gomez
Fast Vindicators.
Brandon White
You can certainly run him there, even if you're not gaining much from his Canticles. It's only unfluffy because of that remark about Skitarii leaders commanding from orbit, it's fine otherwise because there's quite a few Techpriests who do take the field themselves.
Battle Maniple is entirely a War Convocation tax, you don't want the Rangers or Ruststalkers much at all. Use the Skitarii maniple instead, or use Cawl for a CAD and Obsec if it's important. Personally I would like a "Command bunker" type fortification, so I can toss my Warlord in there and be fluffy, but there's nothing there of the right type.
Gavin Ramirez
Replace the Tech-Priest Dominus in the Dominus Maniple formation and run Cawl there. Shit's cool. add a Skitarrii maniple for the rest of your stuff.
Jace Barnes
You do realise it's only a matter of time before tau drones and ai rebel ala men of iron
Evan Brooks
Is the Nemesis Strike Force their Decurion or the Imperial Agents detachment? I think the rule (if memory serves, I'll find a page reference) that as long as by the end of the first turn you have models on the board you don't lose.
Samuel Flores
>implying /pol/ does any of that Look at some statistics before you spout bullshit retard.
Tyler Ramirez
I'm joining an ongoing narrative campaign at my FLGS. I can't decide if I want to play it using my Necrons or my Renegades and Heretics. Which should I choose?
Easton Diaz
Who now?
Hunter Clark
You can do that, but it's very dangerous without lots of other reserve manipulation things.
Christopher Roberts
Renegades for sure Necrons are cool, but in a narrative campaign I feel they'd be rather flat and dull
Michael Hill
Raptors
Logan Martin
Necrons seem more interesting. >Necrons are cool, but in a narrative campaign I feel they'd be rather flat and dull How? I think it'd be cool for user to jump in out of nowhere as an awakening tomb world
Jayden Cox
Shows you how much I know about Space Marine Chapters then, I thought they were all about assault marines.
Tyler Hall
there currently is a box with 10csm and a rhino for cheap.
csm squads dont really work with a heavy weapon
Kayden Parker
Just in case this isn't bait, Imperium mostly ignores and tolerates Tau because they have A LOT bigger fish to fry. If they gave them a fraction more of attention they'd steamroll them.
Ryan Lewis
This, also we have Best Primarch.
Aaron Flores
But he's fucking dead
Carson Russell
Raven Guard is assaulty and scouty. Raptors, mostly boltgumie and scouty. And Carcharodons (another successor) is ripie & teary.
Christopher Stewart
Except they just went on a crusade against them and go their asses kicked SO BAD they had to use a one of a kind missile to set fire to space.
Adam Harris
It's in the Grey Knights codex. Not a decurion, just 1 HQ and 1 Troop mandatory, allows reserves on 3+ from the first turn.
Grayson Torres
Necrons started a war that makes the Horus heresy look like trying to reel in a rampaging toddler, even as a shadow of themselves nearly every other faction takes them seriously, also if you lover Egyptian imagery as much as I do, they be fun to paint
Nicholas Mitchell

Cooper Howard
Okay, Raven Guard is what I was thinking of when I read Raptors, my bad. The chapter name threw me off since you mentioned sneaky marines and I didn't know there was a chapter of sneaky marines. Tell me more, do they rely more on scouts or do their tacticals get some juicy rules?
Camden Bennett
I guess a shit ton of terminators in red. I love the idea of such a powerful unit, eapecially if they somehow go fast too like a juggernaut.
