Mortar rounds detonate on impact, he's fine, it's a dud.

or it's just landed, went through some soft sand or something so it burrowed a bit and is about to blow

What does repulsor field do?

Convert them into Sydonian Dragoons.

So is that next Imperial Armor book about Tau vs Mechanicum dead or what?
Gavin Lee
you never trust a dud, always call EOD. I bet your one of those idiots who doesnt where their reflective belt either. Your the reason why we have safety briefs that last 5 hours.
Chase Bell
Say, I know there's various Scion players here so I have a question. What's a decent
Benjamin Bailey
Repulsor impact field 1cp Use after enemy charge, roll dice for each model within 3", mw on 6

>Rangdan Xenocides >you will be receiving Legiones Astartes support from none other than the renowned warriors of the II and XI legions
Whelp, time to retire and emigrate to Calth for a quiet life of farming I guess.
Total cost is 2k/2k, entire list would be Bork'an. The idea is to have the Cadre Fireblade + 3 units of Fire Warriors in the tidewalls as a mobile death fortress, the Fireblade will be in the droneport to give the 4 Marker Drones BS2+. The rest of the army will be: >1 Cadre Fireblade for footslogging buff >3 units of 6 FW (higher-unit/lower-model count so they can cover more ground/objectives), each with a DS8 missile pod turret for extra damage output once they've gotten into a good position, + 1 Guardian drone to share if they're close enough. >2 units of 6 Pathfinders, no special weapons, but have 1 of each Pathfinder drone to share. >1 Railhead with SMS +2 seekers >1 Twin Plasma hammerhead with SMS >Coldstar Commander with ATS, 2 missile pods, the Plasma Accelerator Rifle, & Examplar of Mont'ka >XV84 Commander with 2 Plasma Rifles + Integrated Markerlight and Target Lock (I wish I could drop the Target Lock) >1 Crisis team of 3 suits, (ATS, 2 missile pods), (ATS, BC, CIB), (Iridium, EWO, 2 BCs) + 2 gun drones and 1 shield drone >1 unit of 2 Tetra Pathfinders for greater markerlight output
All the FWs in the tidewall have pistols so that if the enemy does get into melee range, they can still fight back without having to disembark.
I really went in trying to get enough markerlight sources to reliably keep it on 5 for at least 1 or 2 targets each turn, I might've gone overboard. All of my sources of Markerlights: >1 Cadre Fireblade in Tidewall BS2+ >4 Marker drones ignoring move penalty and hitting on 2+ as long as Fireblade stays in Tidewall BS2+/BS5+ >1 Cadre Fireblade on foot BS2+ >XV84 Integrated Markerlight (30" range) BS2+ >total of 12 Pathfinders BS5+ >2 Tetra Pathfinders High Intensity markerlight (3ML stacks per hit) BS4+
I've only got 2 seeker missiles, so I feel like I'm not getting the most out of it, should I try to drop something (a drone?) for another seeker or 2?
fuck you, gotta use something when you run out of jalapeno cheese spread.
Ryder White
And in about one year from now, we will be able to play sisters models designed in plastic in this decade. What a time to be alive.
Landon Richardson
Fireblade aura doesn't work if he is embarked in a transport. Unsure if tidewall counts, but it should because GW hates fun.
Ion head > Railhead
I also see a distinct lack of drones. Do you like having >your dudes die?
Also if you're planning on actually buying this shit then for the love of jesus don't.
But it does look like fun
Asher Davis
With the new covens and those leadership debuffs, is it viable to make a LD-bomb army? (I think it was called "freakshow" or something like that at 7th ed). Or is it just a waste of time, as it would only affect things that already should be dead?
James Flores
they will be monopose
Jose Sanders
I like that the version of the Solar Auxilia triage pamphlet for after the Horus Heresy has started is basically just "If his suit is breached, he's dead, either from being dismembered by a bolt round or because the Death Guard have saturated the battlefield with radiological, chemical or biological weaponry".
Nicholas Young
And the metal minis aren't? Even if they are monopose it's a vast improvement over what we have currently
Jason Fisher
Its a max of -3 so not really, I mean its an ok bonus but you shouldnt base your army around it, its more like a nice after-thought. Night Lords can get even better debuffs and they arent particularly great.
Robert Reyes
>I bet your one of those idiots who doesnt where their reflective belt either.
They're just The Man trying to cramp my style dude. Neon yellow doesn't match my MTP ensemble, it'd clash.
Aaron Turner
Waste of time, too many things in the game are either outright immune to morale or functionally immune due to small squad sizes to begin with.
Unless there is some bomb ass ability they haven't revealed that cares about enemy Ld and is good enough to pick a faction trait for, but I'll believe that when I see it.
Jace Reed
Warp travel, ain't got to explain shit.
Justin Davis
There is no article on Sisters Why lie
Mason Gray
>doesnt even wear silkies you disgust me
No joke though, had a SSGT go back stateside during our deployment in afghanistan because his wife hit and killed a corpsmen on the side of the road because he wasnt wearing his reflective belt and running along the side of the road at night.
This is... something good... that games workshop is doing? Pinch me
Chase Torres
>Fireblade aura doesn't work if he is embarked in a transport Entirely correct, he's in the Tidewall to give the drones his BS skill (if there's a Tau INFANTRY unit embarked, the drones launched from the Droneport may use that models BS instead of their own. The army will be acting as two seperate groups, trying to do a pincer attack, tidewall fortress of doom on one side and footslogging + tanks and suits on the other >Unsure if tidewall counts, but it should because GW hates fun. RAW as long as the Fireblade (or any other aura written this way for that matter) is outside of the Tidewall, it will still work on the troops within. The Aura effects all units, but only works with certain weapons, meanwhile the Open-Topped Transport means that any and all modifiers effecting the transport also effect the units embarked within; Aura effects Tidewalls but does nothing for it, Tidewall transfers aura benefit to embarked troops, they get bonus.
>Ion head > Railhead I know it's a lot better, but I really prefer the Railhead over Ion just because RAILGUN. Hopefully I'll have enough MLs in place for it to be fine. I brought along the FW Plasmahead to help balance it out.
>lack of drones They're just so expensive right now I can't justify bringing very many, I included 2 gun drones + a shield drone for the crisis suits to act as additional protection and ablative wounds, + the guardian and pathfinder drones.
>Also if you're planning on actually buying this shit then for the love of jesus don't. I'm sorry user, I fully intend to, but not all at once. Right now my entire 40k collection is a partially complete Tau SC, 1 Cadre Fireblade, and 1 box of Pathfinders
Isaiah Johnson
That's what happens when you let SJWs into the military
Robert Ross
GW really wrote themselves into a corner with morale. >Tyranids Mindless bugs, no fear >Necrons Mindless boops, no fear >Marines/edgy Marines/gold Marines Literally can't feel fear >Admech Mindless beeps, no fear >Orkz Only afraid of Farsight, fearless otherwise
Half the armies canonically shouldn't even be effected by morale so what's even the point of it?
Gabriel Collins
>gotrek and felix neat >baneblade neat >age of shitmar shlock nah, miss me with that gay shit
Ryan Jones
Well to be honest seeker missiles aren’t great and neither are most suits. Broadsides (missiles and ATS) and ghostkeels are the only good suits aside, of course, from commanders. And stealth if you count them but even then it’s more “meh, I need elite filled and don’t want a marksman (which are breddy gud markeerlight fodder) or kroot” than good. The real winner is our volume of fire, easy brigades filled with FW squads can pump out hundreds of shots buffed by SoF ethereals and fireblades. Bork’an is good, just needs some help. Brigade is a tau must though, you need CP for a lot of stuff. Also what other people said
Gabriel Roberts
>what's even the point of it? Guard players and their Commissars.
Thomas Fisher
Well if you're dedicated towards it then don't let your memes be dreams man.
What are your overall thoughts on the Kabal and Coven rules previewed so far? Also, and there any Kabals or Covens that you're disappointed didn't get rules?
John Perez
Deepstrike restrictions suck! Bring back scatter and Dangerous Terrain.
Top stuff, fun, useful and unique and the stratagems so far seem to be very creative. Im glad GW has taken yet another army out of the gutter and that they are being more creative with Stratagems, makes me optimistic in the future of other armies.
Sebastian Price
>said no one ever oh hey, who wants their 400 points of assault terminators scatter into terrain or off the board and instantly wiped out.
No one thought they could make an entire codex out of Custards.
They did.
Jason Fisher
and and all plot progression is good. but i want my barefoot eldar waifu to defeat him in the final battle
Luis Taylor
Oh yeah, shit, I wear a hi-vis vest if I'm running on the road at night, I don't have a deathwish. Should be running on the side of the road facing on-coming traffic anyway so you can dive out of the way of homocidal wives and gf's in 4x4's. Fuck wearing that shit round camp though, haven't seen anyone actually do that in the Royal Bongistan Defence Forces outside of training.
I need to make more penguins...it’s been a good while.

/aosg/ is self-destructing again. I'm just going to hang out with you guys and research what 40k army I should get into.
Tyler Nguyen
fuck off fag
Noah Smith
Can chaos just force warp powers onto anyone? Especially when they're the most faithful and pure, I doubt it.
Elijah Wright
Overall really hyped. Wych cult reveals will be deciding factor on whether or not I get a new SC!. Sad that The Hex didn’t get an obsession, them being the true artists of flesh craft, and all.
Parker Hernandez
Chaos Daemons, you can play them in 40k, WHF and AoS
Jaxon Peterson
Talons are redundant with a +1 to wound
also take the DCD over the furioso
William Anderson
Your face will look funny when they finally arrive.
Think of it this way with Euphrati Keeler. Spoilers for the first HH book. >Spawn a horror from the warp >Spawn some warpflame in front of her hand >Melt an Aquila into her skin >Everyone thinks she was given magic power by the Emperor >Now everyone has proof big E is a god >Just as planned
Matthew Ward
high risk, little reward. you could literally scatter into the unit you wanted to assault, and get wiped out anyway, that is if you didnt scatter into terrain or off the board. thats why land raiders were a thing, because it was too fucking dangerous to travel any other way.
Thomas Richardson
weren't lotd post warp fuckery Firehawks? Pretty sure that precludes them from having Primaris
Samuel Lewis
>GW makes snake elves look like a cross between elves and snakes What a shocker. New Celestine and girls looks ace
The current DS system is fine. The best way to help it would be add more means of variance for the distance. For example, a Drop Pod strategem that allowed you to get within 6" for a CP
Logan Peterson
I missed a lot when I was away, it seems. Since when are there snek girls?
Dominic Gonzalez
Pretty sure Cawl had some spare Firehawk geneseeds to tinker with.
Colton Wood
No. The less randomness the better. The risk is not being able to charge for melee units and that can turn out pretty bad.
Daniel Harris
I know thinking about literature outside what they taught me at school and black library but I'm going to assume this is a very cultured shitpost to which I say, Fanar well played old chum
My 390 pt filler for Scions is: Battalion Tempestor Prime (Warlord) -Hot-shot Las Pistol and chainsword -Kurov's Aquila -Grand Strategist
Tempestor Prime -Chainsword and command Rod
3x 5 man Scion Squad with 2x Volley guns Taurox Prime -Heavy Stubber -Hot Shot volley guns -Gatling
To bump to 500 I would make 2 squads 10 man with 4 Volley guns. I use this filler for the CP, CP control, anti horde, and objective cappers.
Carson Ramirez
>It feels like someone who knew and liked Dark elfdar wrote the codex. This, absolutely. About time we got another preview that felt as spot on as the Imperial Guard one did in terms of flavor.
