Guys, I still can't decide on what color scheme to paint my new Tau army.
Option A would be a Cadian color scheme of olive green and khaki.
Option B would be a jungle theme, Dark Angels green armor (with camo, I'm thinking that old Kasrkin camo scheme), with either light green or dark brown fatigues.
Option C would be a Martian desert themed army, with red armor and khaki/bone colored fatigues (basically the AdMech color scheme, pic related). However with this I would also be adding lots of greenstuff headscarves and stuff, for fluff reasons to keep out the abrasive dust of the planet they're stationed on.

Many Pathfinder Teams willingly sacrifice their lives in order for the gambit to succeed, but the Skullsworn pack is almost entirely incinerated in the ensuing devastation.

I have a question about time limit games for people who play horde armies. Do you guys just skip some shooting and stuff like that? I play Guard and I have 6 Infantry squads, a bunch of characters with some tanks. I feel like my games take forever. I've been skipping shooting any Lasguns and it still takes a while.
Colton Smith
>nth for armigers overcosted Funny way to say "reeee knight armies should be cheap and OP just like Tau suits should be"
Not with that gun
Option D >Ultramarine blue with pink trim
Matthew Thomas
this mini makes me uncomfortable and not sure why

It's a pretty solid screencap user, and I'm not just saying that because I play Dark Eldar.
I may just be saying that because I play Dark Eldar.
Maybe those 10-base trays you can put your infantry in would help, move them en mass
Levi Myers
So what are the chances of the Biovore getting a not failcast model in the next decade because I rather not pay twice the cost due to bad choices of others for a chunk of resin for not shit looking versions of it.
Maybe I should just buy spore mines and some recast pyrovores to go with my ancient metal biovore.
>basically the AdMech color scheme, pic related Shit, ignore that. That was from the last thread when I posted a picture of a Dunecrawler with the post.
Cameron Lee
Well yeah, seems like a straightforward and cost effective way to build an Ad Mech force.
227 points, they cost exactly the same as a relic contemptor with a twin lascannon and DCCW
But the contemptor is WS/BS 2+. better gun, exact same melee, chapter tactics.
The only thing the armiger has on it is movement speed.
They are both behind restictions Relic/LoW
Its just bad
Parker Stewart
i'm going to make this my army
Bentley Richardson
You have other shit. Dragoons, the sandwalkers or whatever they're called, electro-priests. Not to mention I think you can take techmarines, can't you? And you're about to get mini-Knights.
Aiden Powell
ugh and to think I was excited for it why the fuck did they give a god damn lord of war such lackluster stats
Luis King
Again, I'm not sure what this is, but I accept our new Idol Ovelord.
Justin Williams
as silly and cool as those tacticool operator bolters look, 40k is silly and metal, and tacticool doesn't really fit with the silly 80s thrash metal aesthetic.
The same reason flash gitz are 27 (or so) points per model, GW prices things assuming that you only ever roll 6's.
Joshua Collins
dragoons I use for horde-killin' lightning lance goodness, ruststalkers are solid ass though.
Liam Sanders
>dragoons utter ass, high mobility heavy weapons platforms that cant hit anything due to moving >electro-priests melee units in a shooting army that get shot off the board before they can get anywhere >Not to mention I think you can take techmarines, can't you? no >And you're about to get mini-Knights. overcosted mini knights that are worse in almost every way to other imperial walkers
Jordan Russell
227 for both
Matthew Reed
Confirmed: 40k Blood Bowl is on the way. My dad works at GW, and if you say I'm lying they'll take back your minis.
then you're an idiot there's literally no reason to not take kastelans over THPB crawlers
Logan Lee
Just getting into the hobby with Dark Angels what's a good 1000pt list to start with?
Adrian Hall
You're confusing dragoons and ironstriders. Dragoons are amazing.
Juan Long
I wish
Brandon Baker
>being a WAACfag If you aren't playing your army for the models and fluff, just play something else you utter cunt.
Joshua Wilson
You're lying.

Alexander Richardson
It fits into lists easier and can actually move and not hit at bs5. Are robots better? Yes. But I don't always need to take the best of the best if I feel like just running Skitarii.
Juan Lopez
>Bow before your new idol. FINALLY someone posted it!
>Again, I'm not sure what this is, but I accept our new Idol Ovelord. THE MOE~FICATION OF 40K HAS BEGUN!
As that picture sits it's a nice 1k point list. Just have to spread the rangers out into three squads and drop the options on the alphas / arquebus' to get decent weapons on the Onagers
It's almost as if they're supposed to sit in a knight army and not be direct competition to marine dreads. Make them as points efficient as a contemptor and suddenly knights themselves aren't worth taking
Azrael and Hellblasters, some Ravenwing to taste
Samuel Jenkins

Blake Cox

Parker King
>Stop having fun wrong reeeeeee
Alexander Murphy
He can't be that waac since he doesn't even know the difference between Dragoons and Ironstriders
So morale checks in 8th are supposed to help kill off giant horde units of like 30 models quicker if they lose melee, however it feels like everything and their mom this edition has very high leadership or a special rule / relic / character that lets them boos their leadership in some way so it's largely irrelevant.
I just told my dad to cancel the tau codex. Good job, user.
So this is how 40k ends. With thunderous anime grills.
Nathaniel Green
I don't understand why anyone would take the arquebus. It's overpriced garbage that never gets results.
Isaiah Hall
I don't get how competitive 40k works. I see top ranked lists and I wonder, how the fuck did this rank so high? Like this list for instance, there's barely any range, no anti-tank, no psychic defense, yet they placed 2nd in the LVO.
>WAACfags >having fun Lol. You queers bitch and moan and throw an autistic tantrum if you don't win, and you act like playground bullies during friendly games if someone diverges even the slightest from a rule on accident. Again, if you only collect armies based on how well they perform, why the fuck are you playing AdMech in the first place?
Adam Phillips
They're better than tactical marines >There, you happy now?
>Over priced garbage I'll give you over priced, but S7 AP-2 D3 isn't exactly what I'd call garbage when it can freely hit characters and still throw mortals on them
Brandon Garcia
That's what I'm thinking. I was really deadset on the jungle theme a few days ago, but I kept getting people to do the Martian red theme, so that's what I started planning. But now everyone is telling me to do jungle. I think I'm going to do the Martian red just so I can practice my greenstuff skills more before moving onto the really difficult shit. I need to figure out how to put headscarves and hoods over Tau helmets without making it look retarded though.
I also need to finalize "highlight" colors. Right now I'm thinking green lenses and a deep, rich yellow or orange for the officer markings.
Azrael and as many Hellblasters as you can afford. Maybe a deathwing squad for a distraction.
Jayden King
>You queers That's hate speech stop it
William Fisher
Yeah, Leadership needs to go back to the way it worked in 7th where everything was immune. Waiy, shit, I meant 6th. Wait everything was immune there too fuck. 5th? Shit no same thing DAMNIT.
I mean, I never get results out of the icarus array but people still swear by it. Maybe you've just had bad luck with them. I find them worth it for the fear factor if nothing else, the big scary sniper weapon tends to draw a lot of heat that would be far better applied elsewhere.
Grayson Peterson
by the emperor, luth's techpriestess is just so precious. so moe~
Guardsmen flood the board and hold objectives, and help clear enemy troops. Blood Angels drop down and use stratagems for crazy stronk charges that can deal with most stuff because +1 to wound is amazing.
The kind of tanks that you're worrying about get taken out by other lists on the way up anyway. This list is probably build to counter specific aspects of the metagame and could very well lose to a generic "strong" list out of your local store by one particular army or another.
>240 points >Whopping It's priced well for it's role
Levi Perez
Holy shit I triggered that DGfag hard. It doesn't change the fact your army is boring as shit.
Liam Gray
Yeah. Post some to WIP when you get one or two done
Evan Price
Yeah, it'll be $160. I mean $136 is a good deal, I would do it. It's not like it'll get released and people will say "oh my god, it's dogshit." We already know what units we're getting. Even after it comes out you'll be able to find it for like $140 on third party sites.
