Warhammer 40000 General /40kg/

I want to add a Stormraven to my army but I despise the model. Are there any alternative models that can work as proxies with matching size and weapon options ? Even 3rd party is fine.

Same time as we get new Slaanesh daemons

So 2018?

...

They really look terrible.

I got a Fire Raptor instead.

...

Thank you user but i wasn't kidding. The new Daemon codex is going to be shit. I mean look at the loci. Shitty chapter tactic that only works with 6" of a character.

So I've yet to get myself the new Guard Codex, how badly does a mix of Russes and Chimeras loaded with vets do this edition? Meltas still good? Any significant turds to swerve away from?

Gib 3 attack striking scorpions

That's not the chapter tactic, that's just for sticking to a god tho.

Like FFS do people not read the articles?

You don't know if that's the battle forge bonus.

IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR

No where in the article does it mention they will be anything other than that as a special rule.

They look decent with the chapter house extension.

what applications do you guys use to build armies?

In hindsight its actually better that you went without chronus as you can now make them any chapter you want to and you still get relics/traits because the excelsior is a character
>Iron Resolve + Salamander Cloak
>Storm of Fire + Crusader Helm

Look at this thread user... what do you think?

Pen and paper

How do I get into Grey Knights? What’s a good backbone of a force?

Google Sheets

Chapterhouse extension makes the model bearable. FYI the extensions can take a little prep before adding.

Google drive.

Accessible everywhere and you can have a second sheet that has all of the points with formulas in the first sheet to do lookups so when you type "lascannon" or whatever it looks up the points and fills it in.

Also means that when points get updated you just amend the points sheet and all of your army lists auto update.

Help Marine players.

I'm a Guard player and I've recently got 10 Assault Terminators with Hammers. They cost 470 points though. Are they worth it on the table?

Each terminator costs the same as a guard infantry platoon with plasma gun...

Their cost does not reflect survivability- need a delivery method. For fun, sure put em to work. For competitive, there are better options for the points.

Heard about it but I'm worried about the shipping cost since I live in Europe.

My LGS has recently gone All Tonks All The Time, but Admech seems to have a bit of a shortage of heavy AT units. Neutron Lasers equate to 2.7 lascannons each, which isn't really enough to handle two Raiders, four Predators and a Shadowsword even if I take four of them.

I've decided to resort to some allies. What are some decent Imperial anti-tank units I can convert into something Admechy to kill T8 tanks with?

>Infantry squad with plasma

Also they're not bad as long as you can find something worthwhile to smash em into. Otherwise that's a lot of points... Also they probably are going to waste time in reserve or walking and so you're gonna need more points for a ride.

Stop.

>be me
>have giant ork army
>always want to add to it

Anyone else have TONS on their plate and want more more more? I make a lot of time for hobbying so it’s not like I have mountains of grey plastic, it’s more that I wonder when too much is too much.

QUESTION

I know there are Astartes transports with the Heavy Support and Flyer roles, but are there any that fall into Elite or Fast Attack?

Lokis are just a bonus for being mono-god.

Don't lie GW fucked up by not adapting fast enough. Chapterhouse should have never had a void so vast to fill in the first place, never mind all the other third party casters making kits for every bit imaginable.

nope unfortunately

Russe's and meltas are still good. Chimeras are generally not worth it. They are expensive and they are actually slower than footslogging guardsman (with the move order).

That said, double flamer chimeras can make decent fire support vehicles, so they aren't useless.

All these grognards replying to you. Use Battlescribe and a codex for clarification.

Terminators

I feel your pain. Not pictured: Dark Imperium, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Sigmarite Mausoleum, and all my Sector Mechanicus kits

I like your dubs too?

Does the pic mean I need more commissars or what?

Battlescribe is just wrong too often. If you've got to go through it checking everything you might as well not bother.

About the spiritseer's ghostsign special rule.
The translated wording seems a bit wonky.
Are you allowed to reroll hit rolls of 1 for friendly SPIRIT HOST units in 6" of the seer or for any SPIRIT HOST units that attack an enemy that is within 6" of the spiritseer?

>that chimera kit
also wtf are you building in that pic

They make cool models so yeah. I have almost all the old school ones, including the female commissar. I need to check and see if I have a Steel Legion commissar or not...

pls gibe to me

GW?

>want a Damocles Command Rhino for my behind-the-scenes-but-still-on-the-field HQ Inquisitor
>doesn't seem worth its points if you factor in the inquisitor who will just be sitting inside of it

What do you think? 122 pts for it, roughly 55-60 for the inquisitor.

What you get is mainly
>Orbital Strike Augur: Once per battle in the Shooting phase, the controlling player may make a special Orbital Strike attack. To do so, nominate a point anywhere on the battlefield and roll a D6. Roll a D6 for every unit within 6" of that point. Subtract 1 from the result if the unit being targeted is a CHARACTER. On a 4+, the unit being targeted suffers D3 mortal wounds.

>Command Interface Unit: Roll 2D6 at the end of each of your turns if your Warlord is embarked within a Damocles Command Rhino. If the total rolled is less than your Warlord’s Leadership characteristic, you gain one Command point.

>A cool looking Rhino in an HQ slot with a bunch of auspex stuff on it

Does anyone remember the name of the boardgame GW made back in the 90s about Ork Fighta-Bombas?

What models could I use to make fully robotic looking Skitarii troops and units? I was considering the Warlord Automated Infantry, but I think they're too large.

>full metal robot automaton
>putting a Brodie helmet on it

122pts to fill 2hq slots isn't bad.

Are you talking about the huge and goofy-looking siege transport? It's a Lord of War.

>nominate a point anywhere on the battlefield and roll a D6.
I will never not kek at that

necrons?

>What was that roll for?
>Nothing dude it just says to roll one.
>What? Lemme see this...
>Yeah like... it just says roll one.
>Oh, alright then I guess.

Many, many thanks.

Thank fuck I made the turrets swappable.

YOU HERETEK

If you're not set on it being a rhino, but just a vehicle for your fluffy HQ, you could go for the Land Raider Proteus or whatever it was called. It has better weapon, armor cuts the cost of all stratagems by 1 as long as the warlord is in it.

What regiment do you play

Thanks! I've been trying to remember the name for ages!

That's part of why I like the design.
They're not quite what I'd like them to look like. I'd prefer something closer to either the pic or something like the Geth.

That's pretty much the point. Dark Mechanicum.

That's two terrain projects stacked up. One ended up being pic related. The other one still isn't done.

...no

nerons with tau target locks for helmet then

A man of his stature cannot be seen rolling around in this, even if it is a relic.

Are nids finally fun with the new codex?

Actually, does anyone here play with Inquisitors and/or acolytes? What do you do with them?

I seem to primarily end up using them as anchors for inquisitorial drop troops.

Need some feedback on my 2000pts ork list, aiming at semi competitive level.

doing some model size comparisons for fun

Wraithlord with the legs of a war walker.
Worth a try or definitely looks like shit?
Dont have the models yet, but the idea intrigued me.

Rolled 2, 1 = 3 (2d6)

...then I shall take it from you. 3+ to hit. En garde.

Gayfox or Torquemada.
Acolytes? Usually a random one inside an Immolator along with my Battle Sisters Squad spamming Storm Bolters for another SB
More SB with Heavy Flamer Retribution in Repressor so I can Dakka while the Flamer close in.

Basically SB sources since the Wounds nerf

cawl's a big boy.

For you

Don't remember Cawl being that big, but then again, I haven't picked him out of my carry case since I assembled him a couple of weeks ago.

I think Deff Dread is a bit more bigger than Cawl

...

Looking for more models for my Tempestus/Guard army.

Current collection:
1x Hellhound
4x Leman Russ (all capable of switching designs)
2x Leman Russ Demolisher (all capable of switching designs)
1x Taurox Prime
36x Tempestus Scions
3x Tempestors
1x Tempestor Prime

Are those two the only ones worth their points or what?

I'm not a fan of playing with named characters in general.

Redemptor dread with sentinel legs for mechwarrior look instead

Rather, looking for recommendations. Not just looking to buy from other folks.

Are Genestealers warp creatures? As in, do they have anything to do with it or use it in some way like a psycher would?

there will just be a fifth locus for Chaos Undivided ïa, ïa, Carnac fhtaghn!

No. They're xenos creatures. They have psykers that can use some warpcraft.

anyone know anything about those rumors of a sob v genestealers box or whether that was just wishful thinking

>36x Tempestus Scions
>3x Tempestors
>1x Tempestor Prime

With 36 scions I guess you run 27 of them along with the 3 Tempestors as 3 ten-man squads. But that leaves 9.

If you had another Tempestor you could have another 10-man squad.

Ideally you'd want Command Squads equal to your number of Tempestor Primes though, so if you could make one of those 9 into a Tempestor Prime you could run the other 8 as two four-man command squads and make up a battalion (2x HQ, 3xTroops, x2 Elite)

I guess to capitalise on that (being 7 units capable of grav-chuting in) you'd probably want anchors, or maybe a Valkyrie for getting command Squads into melta-range, alt 10-man HS lasgun squad into First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire range (with the HQ potentially dropping in 6" away for the order, safe from harm.

Should I take Howling Banshees or Striking Scorpions? They both seem to fill the same elite melee unit niche.

thx. it's for an rpg session, but you guys answer quicker than /40krpg/

>6 x LRBT

You'll do fine.
