Shameless auto bump cause i guess people don't like 40k.

I am going to start converting mt CSM into Alpha legion.

I want my dudes to have some nice, theme related, baroque armor. What would be some good suggestions for conversion bits that have proper Alpha legion/ Hydra/ Reptile motif?

*plays CS:GO for seven hours straight*
*polishes collection of airsoft guns*
*listens to Skrillex at full volume*
*faves TortureDevice deviantart drawings*
*gets mad at liberals on the internet*
*speaks Estonian*

The DV Chosen allways looked very AL to me. Just proxy their strange boltguns as combibolters maybe? The raptor special weapons are baroque i think.

Bumping cause other thread is garbage.

I'm brainstorming a force of catachans that ran out of spare parts on a death world and, being the badass montherfuckers they are, decided to bolt armor and guns to the local wildlife and use them as substitutes for their borked vehicles. So a bunch of monsters with 40k gear stuck to them that are counts-as for my armor.

I'm thinking an AoS bastiladon with all the shit on top replaced by an armored compartment with the cannon as a Leman Russ, that kind of thing. Some kinda flying dragon or big-ass bird for valkyries, ground-bound dragons for hellhounds because of fire breath.

What would be a good replacement for sentinels? They're such an odd size to find a proxy for. It doesn't need to be exact since you measure from the base on sentinels.

Ideas for a homebrew renegades warband for Chaos Space Marines? In terms of fluff, gods, tactics? I'm open to a lot.

Yeah, the other thread was actually promising after a rocky start.

Who was the Warband's Progenitor? (Renegade non-Legion Descendants only)(d100)

>autistic op detected

Because we have to ban all people that disagree with my esl interpretation of words.

Because resin models are cast essentially by hand in rubber molds. Errors are a lot easier because humans are more involved in the process. The Plastic injection molding in normal GW stuff is almost entirely mechanized, so errors are much rarer. Plus the materials are less tempermental.

Very yay.

No reason to not have something along that line.

Alpha Leg. needs tanks too.

So I've decided I'm going to use circular movement trays for my Orcs next game. There's nothing in the rules that says you can't use movement trays as long as I use the bases for the models and it will make it quicker to move my 150+ boyz , allows them to more easily squeeze into cover and it's not like templates, LOS or even have the actual models matters in 8E lol.

>Ideas for a homebrew renegades warband for Chaos Space Marines? In terms of fluff, gods, tactics?

Here's what I wanted to do with a renegade chapter. Two tactics, more gimmicks than anything

1: Fling Helbrutes across the map. With Advance+Charge they can cover a lot of ground and with CCW+Power Scourge they can beat the hell out of most vehicles/elite infantry/characters if they get the charge. I'd run two, run them up the board, and then have a Jump Pack/Terminator Sorcerer deep strike in to Warptime one that can charge a priority target and get a 1st turn charge.

2: Chaos Lord with Jump Pack/Terminator Armor and 2 Plasma Pistols/Combi Plasma, 2 Raptor Squads each with Plasma Gun x 2 and Aspiring Champ with 2 Plasma Pistols/Combi Plasma. Pretty obvious, just drop down near a likely target and fire off 14 overcharged plasma shots with rerolled 1s to hit. Even before Slaanesh stratagem double tap thats a lot of shooting.

Let's talk about named characters, /40kg/. People have been referring to 8th as the edition for named characters, or Herohammer. Seemingly gone are the days of Smashfucker and other generics, with the big names in fluff being often irreplaceable if not outright auto-takes. Of course, it varies -- a nameless Tau Commander gives you much more bang for your buck compared to Farsight or Shadowsun, but Typhus is strictly superior to his generic counterpart and there's simply nothing that even comes close to Guilliman.

It's easy to see the underlying reasons why, of course. With this edition having a stronger narrative bent you need some faces on the fluff. Fans of the characters might prefer to take them even if they aren't the most efficient. And on a more cynical note, they do sell well and for more.

But then, this is a hobby of which a large part is /yourdudes/. WAAC players won't care, but for many having your own painstakingly detailed character (or unit in general) stomped into the dirt by the snowflakes over and over.

What do you think? Do you want less named characters? More? Just more options for generics? Or is it whatever to you?

So you admit he's a spammer?
Therefore he should be banned. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Warband Homeworld (d100)

Is it a valid strategy for Death Guard to just do the death march down the board in a big clump? Or would they get gunned down too fast?

I was thinking Poxwalkers+Typhus+Blighthaulers to give them all fire support and cover saves, with Typhus using his devilmagic to buff his zombie squad and Blighthaulers.

A lot of my local meta is stationary gunlines so I was thinking get their mortar tank or two for long range indirect bombardment, and maybe like some plague marine squads with a Plaguecaster in rhinos, or teleport strike terminators, or maybe some bloatdrones for flanking and taking on targets outside the gunline.

Seems really fun to shamble my poxwalkers across the board at 4 inches per turn, until I can ram them into the enemy gunline and pop the "all units that die within seven inches turn into poxwalkwers" stratagem.

As for looking "too fantastical" I hear you. Could use a tank to cut up for plates to cover up with more gritty tank parts.
