We both took the exact same fixed objectives: assassinate and bring it down.

Turn one retaliations. Kasrkin on the north side disembark and climb to ruin's second level to get plunging fire on the hormagaunts below. Enginseer withdraws, chimeras shuffle a little to wall up.

Rooftop kasrkin let loose on the horms and kill 9/10, with a chimera stubber gunning down the last one, clearing the north point. Other chimeras hose the center genestealers with the russ sponsons chipping in, and clear them, too.

Infantry on the south edge are still bottled up, but manage to gun down all but 1 of the infiltrators. The sentinel lumbers forwards on 2 wounds to paint one of the monsters for the vanquishers, and both only roll a 1 for the damage. I command point reroll one of them and get another 1. Lascannons and HK barely manage to kill it. This would become a pattern for the game.

I fail to remove him from the south objective, since he got his broodlord's toe on it. That would be a capture for him top of turn 2.

Rules question concerning models like Murderfang or Death Company Dreads who can fight after being swung at or shoot after being shot at. I get that they can let them fight more than once, but in the Fight phase, they can only Pile-in and Consolidate once, when chosen to fight, right? Not each time their ability triggers?
I want to know if I'm reading the rules right.
And speaking of which, since his fight after being hit is a trigger, does that mean I can then still choose him to fight after the triggered fight? Is it choose a unit that hasn't fought, or choose one that hasn't been chosen to fight?

Commissar has descended to stiffen up the last original infantry squad as the broodlord starts chewing through it. He pulls out his laspistol and gets a 6 to hit, which apparently is an autowound against this guy (he's not a monster?).

On his turn 5 he manages to kill all 5 of the reinforcing infantry, another chimera, and all 5 kasrkin that dismount from it, clearing the center and south points.

It's the last turn, though, so VP is tallied at the end of my turn, not the command phase.

Surviving kasrkin therefore dismount and race through the ruin, firing everything they have and chucking a meltamine to destroy the tyrant at last, 4+ invuls be damned. They claim the south point.

In general unpainted minis are accepted as long as you are clearly putting in effort to paint and making progress, a squad of minis or so newly painted every couple weeks is cool. That's not great tide.

Nothing at the moment, I'm tired and the only saving grace of this day is that I bought some filbert brushes I plan to use as basecoating brushes, and white ink for zenithal spraying on black primed minis. Maybe if I'm really feeling like a madman I'll use the white ink airbrushed onto black primed miniatures to turn them white and use contrast/speedpaints on it.

Horus' defining trait is ambition he'd have seethed forever if anyone had been chosen over him. He was being modest when he said Sang should have been Warmaster. When Russ was listing his brothers he only said he didn't know if he'd win against Sang and Kurze because they are unknown quantities what with Sangs rage and Kurze being literally insane. Cmon guys these books are written for kids I know you can understand them if you really try.

Tbh Blood Angels are somewhat underdeveloped for being a subfaction with a dedicated range. After the rift opened, they more or less got left in the dark with no story advancements. Even Dante crossing the Rubicon had no explanation despite Darkness in the Blood explicitly showing that no one wanted him to undergo the process.

Aside from that, you have Mephiston becoming a primaris in the same book, then the chapter goes to deliver the Lion to the Dark Angels with no aftermath. Outside of a few minor blurbs of literal who successor chapters visiting a few warzones, the Blood Angels storyline hasn't gone anywhere.

I remember the first time walking into a LGS. Two guys were playing Tau vs 'Crons, third edition.

You mean the humans who also can almost all have natural births? Unlike many of her species who no longer have that luxury? The humans they capture and use as essentially livestock to keep their way of life alive?

Then in that case, the obvious read is "deldar are bitter that the humans, whom they think are far beneath them, can all breed naturally, something they can no longer do. Their sense of superiority is brought into question by the most basic biological function of humanity.

Armageddon 3-7 Iron Horses

++HQ++
Cadian Command Squad
Commissar
Lord Solar
Enginseer x3
Vanquisher Tank Commander (w/ order enhancement)

++Battleline++
4x Cadian shock troops (3 mounted, 1 as bodyguard for Solar)

++Transports++
chimera x6, all double hvy bolter, stubber, HK missile

++Other++
kasrkin x3, all 2x plasma 2x melta, sniper and melta mine
LR vanquisher x2, hvy bolter sponsons hull lascannon
2x scout sentinels w/ lascannon


Strategy is simple enough. 3x infantry and the commissar on one side of the battlefield, which they basically tarpit while the other 3x chimeras with the kasrkin roll around with 3+ to hit, plasmas from the firing decks, and 4+ invuls with repairs from the techpriests behind them.

Vanquishers in back with scout sentinels for reroll 1s, so if you are stationary and have LOS you hit on 2+ and reroll 1s with all of them, and the cannon naturally rerolls failed wounds against monsters and vehicles. 6s autowound against these targets now, stationary or not.

Kasrkin scout move onto a center point if they can with 6" scout move, then first turn move. Against a slower enemy they can actually wall off a point between two ruins and have 4+ invuls. The other guy has to choose between shooting the kasrkin chimeras (where all the damage is coming from) that have 4+ invuls and access to smoke strat, or he can focus the infantry chimeras on the other side and get tarpitted while the kasrkin roll up their side.

You want the other guy to waste as much shooting as possible at the chimeras, which are decent sponges and roadblocks, while vanqs and plasma rifles delete stuff from safety.

Guess that's fair. The ones that receive story developments are few. Off the top of my head, the Fists and BT crusaded in the Pariah Nexus, Ultramarines fought more Tyranids in the Galactic West and lost Calgar to Abaddon, and there were a bunch of primaris successor chapters who lost the Vigilus campaign to Haarken Worldclaimer.

They did that thing where he's "mortally injured" and carried off the battlefield, then used as either a symbol of martyrdom or demoralization. In all likelihood GW doesn't have the balls to actually kill him off. Though if they finally kill off a character and it is Calgar, I'd actually tip my hat to GW for finally having real consequences that pay off.
>>
>>93139971
I don't recall exact figures off the top of my head, but eldar gestation is said to be a long and complicated process, which tends to hinder their birthrate these days.

There are still chapter-specific codexes. Dark Angels have some units that only they (and their successors) can use along with their own detachment rules. Dark Angels are allowed to use the generic Space Marine detachments if they'd like, but other chapters cannot use the Dark Angels detachments.

By "10.5" do you mean the new mission pack and dataslate update? Because those things hardly constitute being half an edition, they occur regularly.

Nonetheless, the primary complaint I've seen and heard are the changes to scoring with Battleline units. Sounds to me like it's just making troops mandatory again, but GW seems like they're in denial over 10e army composition rules.

The dataslate otoh does seem to help a lot so far, but people are still figuring the ins and outs of the changes.

Nah, Kastelans are closer to a castaferrum dreadnought equivalent. Admech don't really have a terminator equivalent, they're just not that sort of army. The closest would be kataphron destroyers, I guess, but even then they're closer to gravis units with more shooting and less melee profiles.

Which faction has the worst playerbase?

I play eldar. I hate other eldar players being whiny fucking faggots. Motherfucking people are complaining about dark reapers being worthless now because they killed them ignoring the indirect fire penalty as if it wasn't just a fucking loophole that wasn't getting looked at because they weren't in the spotlight from day one. At one point a good while ago I saw a reddit post or something complaining about point decreases of all fucking things because it was apparently GW trying to make eldar into a horde army somehow. While I don't expect anything better off of reddit I still see this behaviour from eldar players elsewhere more often than not I feel like.

Pros:

+ Lethal Hits with almost every unit, almost every time now, whereas before it was practically never. Yes, there's some weirdness - dakka tanks get no lethal hits vs infantry, anti-tank infantry get no bonus against tanks...but the fact any unit at all get to use the lethal hits when moving is enormous. Also has some unexpected boons, like chimeras dishing out an average of 5 autowounds against any monster or vehicle through sheer volume of fire.

+ can now give orders to dismounted units if an officer dismounts with them. Not a perfect solution but an improvement anyway.

+ kasrkin down 10 points
Cons:

- pivot makes transports even more useless in casual play. Infantry move 6 with infinite pivots, chimeras that can't move in a straight line (which they never can on any modern terrain setup) are now down to 8". There's not much mobility bonus to be had anymore, especially when vehicles have to swing around terrain while infantry just breach through walls.

- indirect fire nerf, though I wasn't using arty, anyway

- creed a bit more expensive with her strat ability. I wasn't using xer, anyway

- can only reinforce 1 unit per game. Meh, I wasn't using infantry blobs, are it takes a big fuckup for me to lose multiple kasrkin units. 1 reinforce is fine for me, at least
tl;dr : the lethal hits buff alone is worth every other nit in the changes.

Honestly i think its better this way. Something like a punisher is already wounding infantry on 3's or even 2's so they dont really "need" lethal on infantry.

But now your dakka tanks are much, much more useful if you have so fight another parking lot or a knight list.

Speaking of eldar I’ve been reading their lore and its amazing how gw sucks at advertising eldar lore. I had no idea how the avatar of khaine worked and for the longest time I just thought it was some lava robot they locked in the craft world basement. I had no idea that there was a cool ritual that forced the eldar to really consider if using the avatar was worth it or not (it is kind of funny how poorly represented this bit of fluff is in tabletop. I doubt the eldar would sacrifice one of their Uber special warriors to fight a few guard tanks). To answer your question the worst player base is thousand sons, fucking redditors spewing shitty memes, whining about space wolves. Word Bearers are a close second because I can’t stand the hearing the stupid fuck Erebus 50 million times in a single game. Thankfully both factions have like 20 players in total so dealing with them is rare.

I'd prefer it if the units were all better specialized for what they're intended to counter, not rounded out to take all comers better.

>>93141355
That's why I initially said you should ask what your car is like. If it's totally decent, and won't need any big repairs in the next 30k-60k miles then by all means buy plastic space men. But most people aren't doing preventative maintenance, or changing their tires, fluids, brakes etc.. and if your car needs any of those need to be done then your plastic space men were a waste of money because a optimally maintained car will be less likely to try and kill you one day, whereas one that isn't cared for wants to kill you constantly, it's just waiting for an excuse to do so

No? I'm just saying that of all the units in his mish mosh of a list the HWTs stand out the most. Even in a ~1000 point list like his you should have at minimum 30 infantry in the battleline. The Scout Sentinel was more of a meme pick since they're both at the same point cost.

I don't know the correct thread to ask lore questions, so:

Is the Machine God and Omnissiah the same "thing"? If not, is there any confirmation or a clue too strong to ignore about the identity of either of them?

I just finished reading Forges of Mars and started reading Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work.
I don't feel very confident in my knowledge yet, but I believe that they are distinct entities. I cannot see the Emperor as either of these entities. I believe he is simply taking advantage of the situation to maintain his alliance with Mars. I can see the Void Dragon being the Machine God, not the Omnissiah.
>>
>>93140955
>Which faction has the worst playerbase?
Anything chaos related.
>>
>>93141655
>Is the Machine God and Omnissiah the same "thing"?
Imagine it like how in Christianity there is Father (God), Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit.
Machine God is God, the Omnisiah is then basically Jesus, ie. God's incarnation on earth and the Holy Spirit would be comparable to the Motive Force that the Mechanicus mentions in its teachings occasionally.

It is because they can be taken in every(imperial) army and lead to weird things. Inquisition is a roleplay/flavor faction.
>>
>>93141693
>Machine God is God, the Omnisiah is then basically Jesus, ie. God's incarnation on earth
I think this is a very fair interpretation. But then, who would be the Omnissiah? From this point of view, I can believe more that he is the Emperor than the Void Dragon. For me, the Void Dragon doesn't really fit the "incarnation of God on Earth" part. It would be easier to assume that the Emperor IS the Omnissiah after all, but he isn't fully aware of it.

You could buy a transport trolley thingy and strap your boxes on it. Otherwise bags for fishing supplies could help but maybe don't have enouth space for a hord army but often are in a nice transportable bag. Knittiing, crafting, tool boxes can help for some hord armys like tyranids where the models are not that high but typically problematic with everything that raises the weapon over the head. You probably could also fit your box in one of the giant sports bags.

That's literally what the Mechanicus think. They call and refer to him as the Omnisiah.

What the Void Dragon is hard to even say. Yeah it is a C'tan shard, yes.
But is it the Machine God? Or the Omnisiah? No idea, there's only speculation and most of it is just

LEGALLY the Emperor is in fact the Omnissiah. But it's still possible that he's covering up the truth for personal gain, and it's also possible that the Mechanicus is wrong. I mean, the Emperor may indeed see himself as the Omnissiah, he may just be lying without knowing it.

I wonder if they have any twenty-year-old drafts left in a box somewhere in Nottingham. Like maybe a random unit idea or stat block, a few paragraphs of fluff that never made it to printing, or some sketch art from Goodwin or whoever. Alien Hunters was an idea they had way back in 3e, but evidently it was never close to being realized.

Nah.

You only have a recruit edition necron half. You definitely have never played a game of warhammer in your life.
>>
With regular marine stuff being so expensive do people use stuff like HH models for intercessor/jump intercessors and predators as lancers etc?
I have two HH land raiders and would like to use them for my terminator army. The regular w40k land raiders are impossible to buy around here, and on the 2ed hand market they cost more then they do in stores.

Jesus Christ how do people paint full Eldar armies?
Just finished my Corsair Voidscarred and it made me want to kill myself.

I hide all posts that have the word "Necron"

Just slap chop and say they are from a force running from place to place using webway gates or a craft worlds shattered and slowly going down. Looks a lot like the real grimdark eldar from the early 90s and late 80s.

>>93142280
Patience.

jesus the new terminators not having any melee weapon options sucks balls.
>>
>>93142276
It depends on the models, things like HH Landraider and "normal" landraider are fine (both firstborn stuff anyway) using HH stuff as "primaris" proxies on the other hand can be a problem (but in frindly casual games ,uck it as long as it is clear what is what.)

Loyal space marines? They were always reduced to power sword on the sergeants, power fists the rest

If you dont paint the under suit on eldar models, your mums a hoe
>>
>>93142302
Okey thanks. I returned to the gam after a longer break since 7th ed and was suprise to find out that all my regular stuff is gone, and that what is left is either not WYSIWYG or removed from the codex.
>>
>>93141951
Been done four times, you're forgetting Chaos Gate and its remake.
>>
>>93142280
>Jesus Christ how do people paint full Eldar armies?
They don't even purchase Eldar minis in the first place
>>
>>93142352
Okay, but there are 14 armies less popular to collect than Eldar. Do you think nobody buys any of those either?
>>
What is the benefit of taking a redemptor dreadnought over a ballistic dreadnought? More weapons?

Also when are eldar getting a codex this edition?

I speed painted one a few years ago. I just kept it simple and settled for tabletop quality. Spent maybe 2 daya on these guys.

Is there a real reason not to mount the gunners on the support weapons base for a diorama feel
>>
>>93142269
If it was so good, GW wouldn't have retconned it all shoved all the designs down the drain.
>>
>>93142378
They didnt do either of those things. The setting has been retconned a bit of a time over decades and still retains a lot of rt to 4th edition lore.
Many designs have changed a lot, not always for the better though its usual. Some designs, like warp spiders havent changed a bit. Others, like space marine bikes, have changed just a little.

>>93142372
>using eldar minis to proxie marines/custards
Makes sense. All 3 armies are pro-HRT
>>
>>93142377
Base is too small, would look cramped. But you do you.

No

That's midhammer, oldhammer is RT and 2nd.

Ps2 sucks tho
>no destructible buildings or terrain
>no weather effects
>particle effects removed
>bases are stacked from boxes
>nothing done to incentivize players to fight in multiple bases, thus leading to either ghostcapping or too large and chaotic battles
>>
It was sometimes the case, but a lot of the time models that get ragged on for shit proportions or scaling are simply modelled and sized for a different scale.
Like a whole genre down from modern warhammer which is 32ish, old marines were much much closer to 25mm scale.
If youve held any you know the big difference. A lot of models going as far back as rt actually have great proportions and scale at the correct angles.

Almost all eldar designs are bad, even the new ones are just the copypasted guardian armor

These guys look cool tho, they should primaritize the entire range except for guardians

Okay retard
>>
>>93142422
I think it's universally acknowledged that the Corsairs and the Visarch are some of the best designs GW has made in years and Eldar looking more like them could only be a good thing.

As an eldar player:no.
I like them. But that's not the aeathetic. The problem is that gw will never ever make models posed good enough, with alien enough proportions, to make eldar look the way they should.
