I lost my last reply due to being busy. Here's my updated pathfinder list. I dropped toys and had points for one more boy and some gear for the Shas. Spec also got a pistol just in case his rail rifle shits the 8+ ammo save.

Pathfinder kill team v2

Shas'ui [140]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]
(185)

Trooper [60] x 4
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]
(420)

Specialist [60]
+Photo-visor [15]
+Clip harness [10]
+Rail Rifle [120]
+Pulse Pistol [30]
(235)

Recon Drone [110]

Pulse Accelerator Drone [50]

Wych team and name tryout. because you should name your troops

Syren - Jacqueline Scarlet - 150 - 220
-powers sword-50
-splinter rifle

Bloodbride -Senkilo Deloco -100-150
-hydro gaunlets- 30
-mirror helm- 20

Wych- Roxy Red -80 -110
-pistol 20
-hook 10

Wych - Belle Morte -80 -100
-pistol

Wych - Bon Morte -80 -100
-pistol

Debutante- Laughing Jack -70 -90
-pistol

Debutante- Raggedy Anne - 70 -80
-hook

Debutante- Raggedy Andy - 70 -80
-hook

Debutante -She just showed up with a knife- 70

Doesn't look so bad, except you can't take a splinter rifle

also I don't think debutantes are worth it, saving 10 points just doesn't make sense to me, I'm running seven total:

Syren power sword, blaster pistol

Bloodbride net+impaler+grenades

Wyches with splinter pistols and wych blades

Then a bunch of mirror helms, including syren, bloodbride, some wyches

Parry is incredibly good, especially when you're relying on CC the way wyches do

Anyone have rules for Guard? there not in the imgur link

meant splinter pistol fucked up.
and the thing about debutantes, is 3 games survived, they become wyches. You can only get one advance per mission, but you experiance all the new recruits.

This is based on having good campaign, not best first game.

Gave my pathfinders names.

Pathfinder kill team v2.5

Shas'ui Sa'cea Kio'tor [140]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]
(185)

Shas'la Sa'cea Ra'vaal [60]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]

Shas'la Sa'cea Qi'tan [60]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]

Shas'la Sa'cea Su'tra [60]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]

Shas'la Sa'cea La'vor [60]
+Carbine [30]
+Marker Light [15]

Shas'la Sa'cea En'kal [60]
+Photo-visor [15]
+Clip harness [10]
+Rail Rifle [120]
+Pulse Pistol [30]
(235)

Big Bertha (Recon Drone) [110]

Pipsqueak (Pulse Accelerator Drone) [50]

yeah but in those 3 games (where they need to survive) you've got 200-600 recruitment points to spend on stuff (pending promethium spending)

idk, they just don't seem worth it to me, even in the long run

Can you link the actual links to the second two? The references won't bring me to those posts.

Huh. How expensive are hotshot lasguns? Seems kinda shit, would've expected a big save mod rather than strength boost.

yes, and I get those points either way, and spend it on the equipment you just mentioned.
I basically have 40pts on lay away. it's not 10pts for -1ws/bs, it's 10pts for a delay on getting +1ws/bs.

You do realize there's an archive function on this website right

In any event your last reply is you have too many toys.

Tyranids starter for a 1000.
(Note options are limited due to GW list decisions limiting me to models I don't have, so more of a fun thing to share, though if you can think of anything different I can do fire away)

First line is what model is equipped with second line is the nickname I have given them, (idea being similar to Old One Eye or Red Terror; names designated to them by imperials)

Tyranids Warrior model, LW+BS, ST
Old Greeny 350
(Tyranids Alpha)
Scything Talons
Lash whip and Bonesword

Tyranid Warrior Model, RC, DS
Ridge back 260
(Tyranid Warrior)
Scything Talons
Deathspitter
Extended Carapace.
(Proxying rending claws as scything talons so list can be legal.)

Tyranid Warrior model, RC, DS
Sharp Tongue 220
(Tyranid New Spawn)
Scything Talons
Deathspitter
(Proxying rending claws as scything talons so list can be legal.)

Running very low at 830 points so I can immediately jump to WYSIWYG, by adding rending claws to both units, and to include this next guy asap.

Tyranid Warrior model, ST, DS
Young horn 220
Scything Talons
Deathspitter

Any alternative suggestions with these 4 models are welcome, as I said previously it's more just for sharing, as there's very little scope with prebuilt models.

yeah but like, what are you doing with those 40 points you're saving?

two pistols.
so making use of the bs on two more units.

having 9 bodies is nice, because that means 3 down before taking a bottle test. if I wanted 9 bodies with no debutants, I'd need 2 more with just a knife.

This is my Nid list:

Tyranid Alpha 250 points
Pair of boneswords 125 points
Scything Talons
Adrenal glands 10 points
Extended chitin carapace 15 points

400

Tyranid Warrior 200 points
Pair of Rending Claws 25 points
Scything Talons

225

Tyranid Gun-Beast 225 points

Scything Talons
Barbed Strangler 150 points

375

fair enough, I just find that in shadow war you really need quality pieces, it's not necromunda where everyone is using low quality troopers

Got to reread all the general rules. Was surprised to see that models will be spending a lot of time on the ground since just getting hit by a ranger attack will be pinned. Then get to try standing back up at the bengining of the round if you pass an initiative test and there's a friendly model in 2in.

I think Leaders get to extend that 2in to 6in and use their initiative. Also new recruits don't count for a friendly model in 2in.

>I just find that in shadow war you really need quality pieces
>I just find
>find
how? the game isn't officially released yet.
You might be right, but how have you played enough games that you know how much a 3 turn delay on stats is worth?

Id drop the rending claws for a 2nd pair of talons for that sweet +1 WS and reroll wounds and then you can afford another adrenal gland

you can go in stores and play in in store leagues

I've already played 20 games with my greyknights, I'm slaughtering my league, we started last Saturday, so I jammed games Saturday, Sunday and today I played two games.

They'll be in the virus link. I didn't get a virus when I downloaded it.

Here.

wait so do marker lights get affected by cover, do they count as a shooting attack?
Why not just run a cadet with a markerlight and nothing else to get easy cheap markerlights out there, isn't giving them a carbine just a waste of points?
Something like:
Shas'ui: 170 points
Pulse carbine
3x Trooper: 270
Pulse Carbine
Pulse accelerator drone: 50
2x Specialist: 360 points
Rail Rifle
2x Cadet: 150 points
markerlight

I'm using an app, for the sake of convenience. I haven't explored the archive function, if there's one at all.

As for too many toys... well, maybe. Hmm

Ahhhh. You're right. I didn't realize you had to forgo your ranged attack. Rules as written, it does seem to ignore cover.

I'll take your suggestion

Is the only way to get the rules for the Astartes/Space Marine teams buying the box set? Asking because a local shop will be doing an event soon and I would like to be able to play as the Blood Ravens without having to spend a shit ton of cash.

There in the mega here

is this the one with the virus?

There is no virus, it's a shitty joke.

Third iteration. Lots more boyz, lots less toyz. No Big Bertha today, folks.

Really? Cause I'm iffish about clicking it now.

There's no virus haha. It's just a funny joke LOL
Please click it

Wow, the quality fucking sucks. Dear god.

To my knowledge it has no virus. I have downloaded it, and have accessed it on my computer, do not know if someone was joking when they out virus in the last thread, but this op just copy pasted the virus Monika.

If you don't want to risk it wait 2-3 days and someone may have gone to the trouble of scanning a high quality copy.

Alternatively yes the box set is only current way to get the book, but GW will most likely announce new ways to obtain the rules very soon.

Yeah, downloaded anyway since the file sizes were small. I can't make out 90% of what's on the pages.

They're photos, what are you gonna do? At least we have access to the rules

They're photos I can hardly read from the PDFs. Not sure if it's just my computer or what but I can't make out 90% of what's on the pages. Like...I can see numbers just fine and that's it.

There's no virus.

That looks nothing like what I got.

Yeah I can't see shit. They're fucked.

Start praying user, your computer has cancer.

you found the virus

God damn it! This is LITERALLY the only fucking computer I fucking have! It's a shitty fucking Windows fucking XP too, good luck with me finding someone who fucking knows how to fucking work on this piece of fucking shit. All my fucking work on the video game I'm fucking making it down the fucking drain. God fucking damn it. I fucking hate every last fucking one of you fucktards.

It's pretty funny right? ROFL

I would try seeing that the file size on your computer corresponds with the file size on mega.

If it does perhaps try a different reader, I have had no problems with those files downloaded 10 hours ago using Sumatra PDF and whatever's viewing pdfs in OneDrive on IPad.

Alternatively wait 3 days or scour the 4-5 previous threads is all I can suggest.

I can't even fucking find a fucking job. So even if I can find someone fucking willing to fucking fix a Windows XP and fucking know how to fucking do it, I don't have the fucking cash for it. I fucking had to sell my fucking Imperial Guard army just to fucking have the fucking money to fucking pay for my bills this fucking month. All my job applications fucking notify me fucking through the fucking email so I'm fucking fucked there because the nearest fucking library is fucking a fucking three fucking hour fucking walk from my fucking house. FUCK YOU ALL YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Fuck it. You al; just fucking screwed my only fucking chance at fucking having a job and a fucking life. Fuck you all. I'm going to fucking go jump off a fucking bridge since my fucking life is fucking basically fucking over now.

And no I was not trolling you, though someone could of course have changed the files in the meantime.

Just to confirm here are some of the files I downloaded via mega on my onedrive.

do it faggot

Y'know your computer might just have trouble reading the file, user.
Take a deep breath.

Though of course it appears you may have successfully trolled me and derailed the thread. So well done.

I'm digging it.

Me liking the occasional dick has nothing to do with this.

I'm actually worried, but not raging. Just running several virus scans. This really is a Windows XP, I really have no job (living with my grandma) and this is literally the only means I have of finding a job right now. Typing fucking was just fun and helped me calm down a little. The first post was serious and I just steadily calmed down as I typed fucking over and over and over again.

I'm fine now.

That's good, user. Tell us about this game you're working on.

It's a shitty RPG Maker video game made using PVG resources, as well as some other premade resouces. Poured $500 and 7 years into the project so far. Aiming for it to be open world, which is pretty damn hard. It's based on my homebrewed D&D Campaign Setting. I got a Patreon page for it but no one gives a shit, I don't blame them though.

It's okay if it's shitty, user. You've learned a lot while making it, right? That means that next time you start making a game it'll flow way smoother and you'll produce a better product.

Stfu and take it to /v/

That'll be nice. Right now most of my focus has been in finding a cheaper way to play a 40k setting game, as well as finding a job.

Get back on track, goddammit. I couldn't care less about your shit games. Let's talk armageddon.

I believe in you, my dude.
With that sort of attitude you'd fit right in.

Anyone know of a free and XP friendly PDF reader that may be able to read the PDFs better than adobe? Ran three different virus scans and nothing was found.

And I apologize for derailing the thread. Will not happen again.

foxit?

Hey anons how's this list i made? I heard orks are a lot better in this than they are in the regular game, which is njce. I don't know if i want to go with all shooting or all melee since i want to run trukk boyz for my 40k army, but both shoota boyz and slugga boyz seem good and i like both of their models. Is there anything i should change? And are Rokkit Launchas worth taking or no?

Looking for some advice on a CSM team. Not sure how to shove in more CSM without losing out on good weapons. So far I have:

Nurgle CSM kill team (7 units total)
-all CSM take Mark of Nurgle for free

Leader 225 pts
-Chainsword 25
-Bolt Pistol 25

Gunner 130
-80 pts plasma

Gunner 130
-Flamer, extra ammo 40+20

Chaos Space Marine 120
-35 bolter

Cultist 40 pts
-Autogun 20 pts

Cultist 40 pts
-Autopistol 15 pts

Cultist 40pts
-Autopistol 15 pts

Probably trying too hard to cram plasma and flamers in this, but I haven't had a chance to playtest.

If anyone has the book already, can you give a quick rundown on the difference in rules between the three guard regiments?

what skills they can take

Aww, that's kind of lame.

That's the problem with GW, they refuse to do market research. They could have easily found out how big of a demand there would be for this and planned accordingly instead of "release, Oh wow that sold out in literally minutes, hmmm guess people want it let's support it now that we have this new information ..that we could have got prior and made more money." I started to rant, my point is yes their other board games have been mediocre, or people just bought them for the models (BoC and BoP) but with proper market research they could have capitalized on this way more effectively.

Eh, there was absolutely zero buzz about this game until the new edition of 40k talk and more faction support for this.

Honestly the demand for this game is very surprising

Dude, I'm the user who uploaded those, it's my personal Mega, there is no virus. I'm not some shitty person, I actually started the 1st 3 threads for this, I've been compiling and saving everything and took my personal time to organize it all into pdfs using jpgtopdf.com and then upload to my mega. So no your computer is fine, it's probably your reader or something.
It also kind of pisses me off that they put it as "Funny Virus Archive" makes me want to quit fucking helping and take the shit down.

...

The thing with Rokkits is the same (I reckon) in 40k as in this - quantity is a quality of its own. You can only squeeze three Rokkits into a list (kombi on the Nob), which is probably not enough.

That said, I am thinking about it (red dots should help out). For 40k i have two huge squads (thirty Boyz each) of Sluggas and a twelve man Trukk squad with Shootas.

mega.nz/#F!Pg0nmCTb!gLkbxonP3bWUpjj8Cscr6A

Yeah, ran virus scans and realized people were just fucking with me.

I appreciate you user, I've been in these threads since the beginning, and you're doing good work. Keep it up!

That pic fixed everything, no joke. I've been debating running my GSC or Grey Knights and I think GSC just won.

I honestly just feel bad cause I feel like people see that and then don't get the pdfs because they don't know it's a joke. Then they flood the place with requests for stuff they could get from my mega.
I'm trying hard to get my buddy to let me scan the whole book so I can upload that but so far he's being a Giant cock-blocker. Maybe once it's actually released he'll chill out and work with me.

Believe me I understand your concerns, reading the rest of what you posted I can see the dire situation you're in and how bad shit would be.

Anyone running GSC? I'm using some Chaos Cultists as proxies for a one shot game and wanted to post my list.

It was, indeed, the reader. Works with Foxit.

So, you can only field Scouts then? Not tactical marines?

The power armor marines are Special Operatives that you buy for one game with one promethium charge, you have either a Deathwatch Marine, or a Veteran Marine

Also this ----> has a Space Marine Builder pdf to make your initial team plus all the weapons and equipment rules.

Yeah, I got the pdf. I'm the guy who raged when he thought his computer had a virus.

Ah, so really all I need is to buy a box of scouts and I'm good then?

My question is, why don't GSC have some form of Cult Ambush??
Like seriously that's their whole gimmick and it's just GONE!
Plus given the fluff a GSC Kill Team is awesome, as they try to elimante threats to the cult and being found out tooearly. That's why they're all Neophytes because the other hybrids running around would bring to much attention so the Patriarch sends out these teams instead.

Still irks me that deathwatch aren't their own army, seeing as this setting is EXACTLY what they do

You'll want to do a shoota on the job, otherwise you'll get an extra attack die but you'll have to alternate the sounds, PK for the first third sounds and the pistol whip for the second and fourth.

Funny story - shops in my country got the game and pawned it on ebay - if you see any polish game deals - its from the shop copy - iit legit you can buy it ... to bad for costumers tho

Absolutely, that's whats awesome about this game is how cheap it can be played.
One box should serve to make a decent starting team no problem. You can pick up the S.O. as onsies on eBay for cheap. I got a Terminator for 0.99 plus shipping to go with my team

yup kill teams not tactical teams - chaos scum get armour because thay dont have scouts to to the job. Bot dont frat armour is shit in this game

I thought space marines scouts can buy power armour?

I know, they could have modeled after the Grey Knights where you only get 3-5 models on a team...and who knows they might add them as a faction later on.
GW has come out and said they will be expanding the factions.

...

That's what you get for pirating, criminal poorfag scum!

Guys this game is about small skirmish type fight. Some factions feel forced (harlies gray knights) and so on. But realy it's not about 10 pa guys duking it out with the same amount of opponent pa guys. I'm not saying GW wont squise every peny out of this game (and that is sad) but as long as it puts $$$ over balance its just another 40K in miniature

Are Librarians available as S.O's? My army is going to be Blood Ravens and having a Librarian makes sense to have a Librarian S.O, even if it'll be for one game.

I don't see it as pirating, I'm not that user, but I'm definitely sticking up for him. We're a community, granted a cyber one. My buddies and I share shit all the time to save money...same concept just on a slightly bigger scale, these threads only generate like less than 100 posters so imo that's a small group of "friends" sharing resources with each other and discussing them.
