>want a fluffy rubric heavy 1ks army >build up my rubrics and use sorcs with them against my friends ba primaris >rubrics melt away and can hardly do anything to the primaris
this pains me so, I think I might have to invest in the birdmen
Adam Collins
The baby knight is going to be a more expensive dreadnought. Wait and see.
Is there a bigger hybrid tax payer in the game than rubrics? >pay for unit that is in theory a shooty-psychic-tanky-melee unit with toys and gimmicks for days >can't actually do anything it is supposed to be doing
Christopher Roberts
So, looking at this, instead of Lychguard and Immortals I could make them Praetorians and Deathmarks instead? Is that right?
Hunter Wright
What are people expecting it to be? A skimmer?
Blake Gray
>bought a fucking coldstar >now I have 13 fucking crisis suit variations. Why do I continue to do this to myself Veeky Forums I could have bought a broadside but instead I bought ANOTHER crisis suit
Hunter Morales
Yeah
Austin Garcia
You mean it isn't going to be a less expensive tactical marine?
Justin Sanders
Rubrics aren't amazing, but they should be able to stand up to Primaris Marines at least.
Dylan Gray
Man you really took the fire caste propaganda hook, line and sinker.
Henry Adams
I'm only using Broadsides because I already own four. I didn't get to use them at all in the index, past the first time I tried them and they all died horribly. Coldstars will be good for a while at least, you didn't lose out on much.
Angel Cooper
raven guard or Blood angels against Death Guard?
Jaxson Brown
>against my friends ba primaris The problem is you not your rules.
John Gutierrez
Need to play that again. Was really cool.
Jace Wright
Somewhere between a dread and a knight would be nice but I'm expecting it to basically be a reskinned contemptor with worse ws/bs
Daniel Wood
I wonder how things would have gone if 8e had made weapons flow wounds over from dude to dude like AoS does (Likely with an exception for specialist anti-tank weapons like Meltaguns and Lascannons). 1d3 wound melee weapons are a very situational thing right now.
Cameron Bailey
For some reason I didn't consider this. That makes the box way more appealing to me even though deathmarks will be forever terrible
Nicholas Lee
Learn to position or get a rhino. Rubrics are shit in melee and always have been.
Ryan Fisher
Working on an urban/infantry tank style russ chassis and this is what I've got so far. Any thoughts, or is it shit and I should just use the generic russ body?
>inb4 russ's get hard nerfed without any reduction in points
Nobody would use anything but lascannon equivalents.
Daniel Smith
I've got a small local tournament at the end of the month, 1500 points, no forgeworld. I had settled on this list, but I've not actually had chance to play it against a serious army yet, and I'm starting to think it may a bit short on bodies as every model is carrying a special or heavy weapon. On the other hand, I don't know what could be droppped anyway.

Matthew Ross
I am curious about the Babby Knight. They look rather cool and I'm tempted to get one or two to add to my SOB force since they won't eat up the sheer points of a full ok knight.
It would get kinda goofy if the had movement count double for getting into melee (Once when moving, once when charging). Keeping it a static value was also likely an attempt to avoid T1 charges being reliable (Which hasn't quite worked out but still).
Tyler Moore
What about sticking a massive turret on a rhino makes that a more urban/infantry tank exactly?
Jose Jackson
I literally only bought it because I want to run it as a farsight enclave 4x fusion blaster fusion blades monster, despite already owning an enforcer commander with a fusion blades conversion (but he's painted bork'an), and I'm planning on making all of the eight at some point, including brightsword, who also has fusion blades, and I recently bought a start collecting a few months ago and made one of the crisis suits into a bork'an colourscheme (this was before the codex was announced) 4x fusion blaster iridium suit commander. So I'll have 3 models all with the same 1 per army relic, and I'll have at least one more model made to cover the exact same niche. I genuinely have a fucking problem. It's not even like you can take crisis suits as troops in 8ed, and now commanders are limited too. God I'm retarded. It'll be a really fun project though, I'll try something different with this guy's fusion blades.
Andrew Miller
>Full leak >no fluff >no showcase
fuck right off
Hudson Long
Nobody gives a shit about fluff until it's out, only the rules matter in advance.
You can always sell some of the excess, man. Make it a Broadside fund.
Adam Gomez
rules never matter, WAACfaggot, piss off
Luke Adams
It's rhino tracks/sides with a Russ central hull. It's wider than either and looks like a chunky boy. I thought it looked slow, fat, and heavy sort of in the same sense as a Matilda or Churchill
Jackson Hill
its only a couple weeks of a wait, i'd go ahead and hold out
Camden Fisher
>solarmills? charge!
jesus christ how fucking embarrassing
so that's what GW calls "humor" huh?
well that's one codex I won't be buying no matter what
Tyler Baker
>cryptek can either buff hoards or be a fixer i like it!
Jacob Ross
I mean, it's blunt, but at least it's referencing the classics, it's not a fucking meme or pop culture reference.
Gabriel Murphy
I'm not the best with list building and I'm slightly confused about the equipment choice of Infantry Squad sergeants. Can I equip my sergeant with a lasgun instead of a laspistol?
>Lychguard, a bodyguard unit, are troops >Deathmarks, deep striking assassins disdained in use against honourable foes, are troops
What???
I mean don't get me wrong, I appreciate being able to get lots of command points when building quirky theme lists, but what?
Nicholas Rogers
kinda cool. needs a short and fat gun on the front turret.
Dominic Ortiz
Rules are more important to casuals than WAACfags. A casual needs all the rules, and wants them to be as balanced as possible.
A WAACfag only needs to know which unit is the most broken and Spammable.
Camden James
Nope, shit's stupid. You can give him a Boltgun for a single point, I can't see why you wouldn't unless you're utterly desperate for points.
Brayden Jenkins
Why do you think you can?
Ian Williams
I feel like coldstars are obliged to be posed dynamically as fuck. I'm thinking that anime thing where they kinda cross their energy swords in front of them as they're dashing forwards
>the sergeant may replace their laspistol with an item from the ranged weapons list
Andrew Adams
Lasgun is not on that list.
Jayden Cook
I tried to pose my guy like he's in the midst of dashing/taking off...but he looks more like he's falling over now. I honestly might get another Coldstar at some point to try again rather than fight with old cement.
Adrian King
What the fuck am I reading
Brody Clark
>not having a designated Grenadier Greg in every squad It doesn't matter if they all have grenades, only Greg gets to throw them. If he bites it, no more grenades get thrown. This is basic shit, user.
Jackson Kelly
What are you going to do, have none-designated guy throw a grenade and waste his 4 S3 shots for d6 s3 shots?
Dylan Flores
just give him a boltgun.
James Garcia
I'd wait unless you're going to get some crazy deal on them between now and Codex Necrons
Jackson Nguyen
That's the plan, for the most part. Also going to be using a plow, just haven't decided between 3rd party or the basic GW ones that come in the russ kit.
>Destroyers now Heavy 3 and can reroll to hit and to wound for 1CP >Wraiths now can retreat and charge, gained -2 AP and D2
Holy shit
Brody Watson
I hope it doesn't cost more than 140-160. Judging by its visible loadout its going to have similar firepower to a dread, which makes it worth way less than 200.
Elijah Lee
>implying
Bentley Hughes
Eat shit waacfag
John Barnes
Any word on these boys? I always liked them (aside from their $$$ price) and if were to run Necrons I'd be fielding lots of them.
Name a single foe that the Necrons consider honorable.
Owen Lewis
Other Necrons.
Owen Cooper
Pretty much. Dynasty in-fighting was the norm during their prime.

Evan Powell
wtf I love necrons now.
Brayden Scott
That's why you give the sarge a boltgun and have a trooper throw grenades
see their aura no longer effects them, but you cna give them a relic that means they wound on 2's (so hit on 2's, re-roll 1s. wounds on 2s ap -4 dam 3)
Mason Gonzalez
Hey user, could you please not assume I'm a WAAC fag, only because I play Guard? I'd just like a good reason to run Vanquishers and Exterminators.
Angel Nelson
Depends on the Overlord in question.
Some have a stick up their bum about honour and will wait for the first evidence it isn't there before sending Deathmarks.
Some don't give a shit, unless the Triarchs (Necron CIA) butt their nose in and force them to.
Obyron is a looney and thinks all his opponents are rival kings from the time before the war in heaven.
Aiden Myers
Reminder to all Tau players that Ionheads > Railsides > Railheads now.
Jackson Davis
>guardfag >not a waacfag Doesn't check out, eat shit.
Elijah Rogers
Those other Necrons had no honour, they sent Deathmarks after us.
Julian Martinez
I would drop 2 Seraphim and a combi weapon somewhere to try and bag another Imagifier for your Retributors. List is food otherwise.
Hunter Perry
What army do you play?
Daniel Perry
It still does.
Adam Bennett
>Obyron is a looney and thinks all his opponents are rival kings from the time before the war in heaven. You're thinking Zandrekh, Obi is his bodyguard.
Xavier Powell
I'll take "none, because there would be a possibility to win" for 500
I'm pretty new to 40k fluff, but after reading about him, fuck yeah he does, 10/10 Character
Luke Diaz
So they just made Tau alpha strike even stronger
>6 crisis suits with 3 CIB each >576 points >farsight enclave stratagem to get +1 hit >command node to reroll wounds
Vs Imperial Knight - 39.366 damage Vs Magnus - 31.104 damage Vs Mortarion - 46.656 damage Vs T7/3+ - 46.656 damage Vs T8/3+ - 39.366 damage Vs T8/2+ - 26.244 damage
Alexander Gray
Pretty much. When they went into their extended sleep a fairly large portion of the Crons with personalities went bonkers. Zandrekh got off relatively easy as he's still a tactical genius, and his insanity makes him sort of endearing imo
