Room temperature take: World Eaters would be alright if ONLY some companies took the Nails. Just like how BA are alright with a single company of Death Company marines.
I heard most specialists (Techmarine, Apothecaries, Librarians) didn't take the Nails. But Havocs, pilots and plenty other marines wouldn't need it.
Only really the assault elements.
>>
>>94076373
Yes maybe but then they wouldn't all have a chance to get recognition from their space dad.
>>
>>94076373
Look, World Eaters are probably one of the most nonsensical legions around. A raving horde of berserkers does not work as a organized military force, and GW has done relatively little to elaborate on how it’s even possible. Their continued survival makes no sense from a logistical perspective.

World Eaters are what marines should be by conscious choice, not surgical mutilation. Merciless killers.

Emotions are the result of the process of evolution anon. They exist because they've been proven crucial to survival of the species. You can seriously fuck with emotions, but removing them from a person could be compared to trying to remove the instinct to breathe.
The nails don't turn WE into merciless killers though, they already did that before the nails. The nails just turn them into psychotic merciless killers that won't let anything stop them from killing.

The WS land speeder sucks poopy ass though. More expensive than regular javelins but with worse weapons, no thank you.

They're not cool. They're pretty much Codex Astartes Destroyers, which makes them pretty basic actually. And their toxiferran is actually stolen, as Death Guard invented that thing as written in the Toxiferran Flamer fluff.

2/2 but even then, Plasma Secutors with rad support deal instant death on their overwatch, right? Because rad grenades are active during the assault phase, and overwatch happens in the assault phase

Honestly, am I the only one who wishes Destroyers had something like "double shots with Pistol weapons but can't move or charge" so they're at least a little like their big brothers?

They don't even require any support to be good, they are both hammer and anvil. You can try to blunt them by giving them volkite or the basic bolters but then when you are facing auxilia or militia you would wipe those.

>‘Ah, Eidolon,’ the image of Julius Kaesoron hissed with curdled mirth. ‘The closer we draw to the Throneworld, the more insufferable you become.’ It shuddered with laughter and the warped visage of the First Captain loomed forward. ‘Still playing at lordship! The Phoenician has returned to us and the Legion is gathered. What do you gain by trying to rest your hand at the tiller?’

>‘Someone has to make sure you don’t plunge your vessels into a star on a whim, Julius,’ Eidolon gurgled back. ‘Let us not forget that I outrank you. Herding you and yours falls to me because I have earned my place. I have been trusted by our errant father.’ He paused, hunching forward so that he was eye to eye with the rendition of the Favoured Son. ‘Who was the first to join him at Ullanor?’ he scoffed.

>‘You were quick to come to heel, true enough. Others had sought him while you dallied elsewhere. Hunting the Scars in futility, wasn’t it? Before you bowed and scraped for Mortarion.’ Kaesoron tittered and the image shook, light twisting around his ruined features. ‘With such diverse interests, it’s a wonder you ever came this far. I imagined that you and the forces you commanded would have idled, waiting, lost to your own desires rather than the masters we serve. Our new gods, the primarch, and the Warmaster.’

>‘It is only fair that you see your own flaws and failings reflected in me, Julius,’ Eidolon said. He shook his head and his lank hair fluttered gently, all lustre robbed by his rebirth. ‘I have been fighting the Warmaster’s battles. I sought to cage our enemies and break them. I remember what it means to serve the cause.’

To be fair to Eidolon, it wasn't his fault that the WS found a fucking prototype of the Golden Throne and used it to bypass the EC blockade and open a webway conduit directly to Terra. Almost a literal deus ex machina ending to 4 years of bullying the WS, and Yesugei and Qin Xa died too

How is HH as a game compared to 30k? I heard that 40k is very shooty and deadly. Your dudes can get deleted before you even have a chance to use them, and it can feel like a game of CoD instead of a wargame with strategies and clever tacics.

HH seems very complicated in comparison, the marine v marine angle doesn't bother me though. I also have a massive boner for mk3 armor.
I got a box of mk3 marines and I want to paint half as imperial fists and the other half as Iron warriors. i thought about ultramarines instead but IW and IF have a cool rivalry and cool colors.

I imagine it's more expensive than 40k with all the resin and vehicles/armor.

>>94078188
are there any chapters that are more redundant to each other than Iron warriors and iron hands?
dark angels and blood angels maybe?

they seem like they could have easily been 1 legion. Make the "dark secret" of the dark angels be the red thirst instead of being homosexual.

Iron warriors already love tech and machines and replace their body parts with robotic limbs like their last name was Skywalker. They love big guns and tanks, so why keep the iron hands around?
Is it just me or has anybody else felt this way?

While still mostly shooting focused the melee aspect of heresy does a lot more to actually feel impactful, the rules and tactics are a lot deeper and crunchier than they are in 40k (not that they're actually deep or difficult to grasp, just that 40ks rules are as deep as a puddle post 10th)

As for the costs, if you stick with plastics it's unironically cheaper to buy a somewhat competent 3000 point heresy army than it is to buy the same power level army for marines in 40k thanks to the primaris tax

> unironically cheaper to buy a somewhat competent 3000 point heresy army than it is to buy the same power level army for marines

is that because of the age of darkness box? Is that the affordable entry point for 30k like the combat patrol for genestealers and grey knights is in 40k?

>thanks to the primaris tax
what does this mean?
>>
>>94078753
As someone whose been into 40k and is currently getting into 30k, they seem to even out.

The main difference is that in 40k your troops are more expensive per model (in terms of actual money not point cost), for instance a box of 10 40k intercessors costs about 32 Bri'ish quid, whereas a box to 20 HH MK 3 tactical marines costs 38 quid. so you're basically getting 100% more guys for 25% extra cost.

this however is balanced out by your special legion specific guys being mostly forge world resin models, which are more expensive than plastic models.
>>
>>94078829
Primaris are the new shiny space marines so GW charges 10% extra for their models compared to their firstborn or other army equivalents.
>>
>>94078839
also firstborn is just GW newspeak for any space marine that isn't primaris.
>>
>>94078829
>Is 3k the standard game size
Yes
>In terms of sheer plastic is it the same as 2k in 40k
No it's larger
>Is that because of the AOD box
Partially but also you just tend to get more models per dollar in heresy boxes, for example intercessors are $6.25 per model in their 10 man box while mk3 marines are $4.20 per model in their 20 man box
>Is that the affordable entry point
Generally yes, that and the battle force boxes are a great deal but AOD is unironically the single best value box GW has ever released
>What is the primaris tax
They're the paypig money maker faction so their units are disproportionately expensive compared to many other factions because GW knows marine players will pay it
>>
>>94078829
I play 30K/AOS. Both are significantly cheaper than 40K if done right. AoS because armies tend to be just cheaper and smaller (costs of new stuff have gone up with every update tho), 30K because there’s a lot more DIY expected. Many specialist units can be created from the base dudes by adding weapons/gear upgrades. Ie if you recast or have a friend with a printer you can upgrade standard dudes to elite dudes for cheap. Also 30K has a much better view on DIY/Kitbash. 40K dudes will unironically be frustrated oftentimes if you aren’t using an official GW sculpt even if a good bit of it is GW plastic

The Tortuga bodies are too wide for any of the plastic arms. These guys are getting the rotor cannons because they had too much of a gap that I couldn't fix for the new heavy weapons (less room on the receiver to move the hands back). They don't fit anything that requires precise positioning of the hands. Given that I bought these bodies years ago when Tortuga (as far as I know) didn't sell their own arms to go with the bodies, that's more than a bit of a miss.
>>
>>94079072
Those were probably designed to work with 40k DG arms
>>
>>94079078
I had the same issue with their MkIV Reaver bodies and their MkII bionic bodies (the only other ones I have), so I don't think it's specific to this kit.
I learned my lesson and just don't buy Tortuga any more.
>>
>>94078833
Someone could probably get some good mileage from coasting off of 30k's plastic range for 40k SM and CSM by proxying, but somebody doing that might as well just make a proper 30k army at that point and treat it as a bonus.

Alpha Legion Esoterist
People often think of AL as le epic atheist legion who are secretly for the emperor, but inn if older lore it says that the main reason they don't rely on demons as much in 40k is simply that they're unreliable.
It makes sense that there would be plenty of alpha legionnaires trying it out and using any tactic available to them.

You literally can't play 40k without several FAQs and all the units datasheets because every weapon and unit need to have 7 different retarded special rules that are 95% the same as the ones other units have, but randomly have a chance to be different for no reason, so you have to be constantly checking them....

I like the concept of a one-man tank. Automated enough that you just need one joystick to move, another one to aim and shoot.
I swear I read fluff about how revolutionary the Sabre's interface was that it allowed a legionary to commune so deeply with the vehicle that they didn't need anyone else. Predators need a driver, and a gunner. Plus the guy who yells curses from the cupola.

>>94079510
Astartes are already one-man tanks. The Bonaparte/Metal Slug mini tanks may make sense for normal humans, but even those are real tankettes instead of turretles mini tank destroyers
>>
>>94079068
On the contrary, it's perfect. One thousand brothers, one thousand tankettes, one thousand cannons. Whole chapter's worth of metal slugs, impervious to small arms, each with guns strong enough to incinerate squads and melt tanks.
Mortals wouldn't be able to do that, so it's perhaps one of the few vehicles that do require a space marine pilot. Unlike a Rhino that any I augmented serf could drive

I think a turretless tank is the smallest a tank-cannon vehicle can be; it's basically a driveable turret. Plus the articulation is the weak spot, so a box is sturdier.
You can get smaller tankettes, but they end up being armed with mere machine guns and such.
Maybe build a cupola around a Rapier?

They're barely cheaper, a lascannon jav is 5pts less than a neutron blaster sabre. A squad of 2 costs the same for both units.

Javelin has the movement advantage and lascannons have better range than the neutron blaster, I'd argue though that as long as your protecting your rear armour the sabre is more survivable than the jav

Normally it's because Visions art, kino as it may be, is also schizo and doesn't care about consistency.

Mass power weapons. I'd take ten power axes whilst leaving the other half of the unit with stuff that can hit at initiative like lances, swords, or their stock fenrisian axes; ten bodies up front hit and are hit at initiative, and after they die and units pile in the power axes get to do the real damage. If you're willing to put more points in to a T4 W1 3+/6++ unit you can give them five fists instead of the ten axes.

>stalkers
Rotor cannons are great for a unit that can run, shoot, and still charge, but i'd give serious consideration to volkite calivers. They're relentless and can fire their calivers on the move. Twelve S6 shots before a charge is pretty good, not to mention the things they can do with overwatch or return fire. These guys can also take power weapons, so i'd sneak maybe four or five of them in the unit to give them a little bite in melee over their stock chainswords without making the unit too expensive.

The resin models are easier to give distinct poses because they have a surprisingly small number of parts, you just tweak the joints at the knees, hips, and shoulders to give them some character. The plastic kits are much more rigid by comparison due to the huge number of parts that all need to fit together and all the units end up looking quite similar.
>>
>>94081923
Truth be told, its because of the T6, sure that Las canon is still wounding on 2s, but its not Instant death, nor is there really a lot of things that CAN instant death a T6 model
On top of that, you can outflank them, so you can have a squad of 3 of them just pop out from enemy lines, and then can move insane amounts of distances WITH the threat range of a MM and Las canon atop it.

Javalins IMO are vastly superior to sabers

The way outflank is written you don't deploy the models and then move them. They are moving into the battlefield, meassuring from the outflank marker

He would literally needs to be able to block a half circle with a radius of at minimum, 20 inches, or 24 inches if they run.
That means they would need to some how cover 628 square inches, if they are just moving onto the board, and 904 square inches if they are running onto the board.

Thanks anon, I appreciate it.

>>94082925
>But these speeders do, and apparently they could simply be able to jump over any blockade because they are deployed after moving and not before, if I understood correctly?
Yes, you understood that correctly. Units arriving from outflank are already moving. So they can move over anything.
What makes this even more fun and silly is that jetbikes get a special rule were if they run in their movement phase, they gain a shroud save of 5+ until you next turn.
You can make this even more fucking gross if you are a dark angels player and you outflank skyhunters that run onto the board so even if they get intercepted, they get a 5+ damage mitigations thats reroll able.
Ravenwing gives them rerollable shroud saves.
Which means if you outflank Ravenwing jet bikes, you can get a 5+++ rerollable, on any intercept action that is taken against you.

Huh? they have not made a new thunder hawk, at least not to my knowledge.

NTA It was a while ago but yea, they remade the FW model
>>
>>94082942
Im doing something like that with my dark angels.
1 Squad of 2 speeders kitted with Las canon, and MM
1 Preator with command squad, 7 guys, all with shields and power spears, and a primus medicae with them as well.

Seems like a really gross thing to have just appear in your backline and for the entire turn they arrive they get a 5+++ Rerollable atop their 2+ armor save.

Right?! the idea of just having a bunch of Knights with lances and shields atop jet bikes come slamming into anything they can find seems gross, then you combo it with the fact they can also do shit like hit and run so right after your opponents combat you can just go Later nerds, and zip out and do the same thing again.

Oh no, im running it as pride of the legion, half my army is the 2 speeders, preator 9 man squad

The other half is 2 5 man knight squads each in a land raider, marked deathwing, a dread marked deathwing.
Recons marked firewing
Breachers with an apoth marked stormwing
And a 10man assault squad marked deathwing as well.

I wanted to basically make my old 7th ed list in HH which was ravenwing deathwing
>>
>>94083167
>>94083305
Also honestly for me, i just wish i could take something other then HB on the justbikes for the preators, But again, i get it as well. If outriders were T5, i would 100% put the preator in the outrider squad and give them all plasma guns.

So many fucking questions
>>
>>94083427
I think heavy bolters are fine, people underestimate how much damage they do all the time. Occasionally field a HSS with heavy bolters, and they really rack up some respectable kill numbers.

Ah okay, so are you deep striking the praetor and javelins?

I'm still waiting for things to arrive but I played a 1500pt game with my seekers arrow list for the first time recently, having half your army turn up behind your opponent is kind of disgusting

>>94083313
When the ravenwing command squad I've ordered arrives I can finally finish making an outrider squad with plasma burners, it's a ridiculous point sink but bikers with plasma flamers is cool as fuck

>>
>>94083466
The problem with heavy bolters is that culverins are just objectively superior. More range, more strength, more shots, deflagrate, and only 5ppm. It's like taking veterans and choosing not to give them their 5ppm power weapons.
>>
>>94083485
Ah nvm I miscounted the chainswords, I thought it was 20. There's no way this box costs less than $50 leafbux. That makes a 20man despoiler squad like $200 fuck me.
>>
>>94083475
>Ah okay, so are you deep striking the praetor and javelins?
Nope outflanking the speeders and the jetbikes since its a lot safer and you can run them onto the board so you get the 5+ shroud save on the bikes for the entire turn, including the intercept.

For ravenwing, you can do silly shit like giving ravenwing to tartaros terminators, they can then keep up with rhinos if they run.

>>94083475
>I can finally finish making an outrider squad with plasma burners
I wanted to do this so fucking bad, but not for the point cost it is its fucking silly
>>
>>94083504
is it?
>>
>>94083507
Culverins might be a bit too cheap.
>>
>>94083535
Give heavy bolters a variant of Breaching 6+ that brings them to AP3. Boom, done, they have their niche as the anti-MEQ gun whilst culverins are the anti-GEQ gun.
>>
>>94083507
>>94083535
Culverins and las canons should probably be +5p extra each. But HB are still kind of a mediocre gun compared to all the other options.
Maybe they could have assault instead of heavy or come with a suspensor web

How are you outflanking the jetbikes? Ravenwing only grants outflank in seekers arrow
>>
Say, if a unit has Infiltrate, they can infiltrate their Dedicated Transport
If they have Scout, they can scout redeploy their Dedicated Transport
...if they have Outflank, can they Outflank their DT? I couldn't find it.
>>
>>94083299
I think it's around, it just doesn't sell well enough to be supported.
>>
>>94083695
The shouldn't have fixed its rules so it can no longer pick up the enemy's spartan containing their terminator deathstar + characters and primarch, and fly around the board in a holding pattern until the game ends.
>>
>>94083638
I must be losing my fucking mind because i would have sworn i saw the jetbikes on the retinue have outflank default.
I must be going fucking insane. Well not that big of an issue honestly even if i have to start them on the board, ill outflank the javalins. Turn one having my bikes running and getting a 5+++ rerollable and more then half way up the board is good enough for me.
>>
>>94083655
I think the fact that flanking assault in the rulebook specifies that they have to be embarked on a vehicle with outflank in its rules would indicate no to me

This is outrageous. It's unfair. How can one be able to infiltrate a Land Raider, but not Outflank it?!

Must have been, either way im not to bent outta shape because again, 9 jet biks with Sv2+ a primas medicae in there, AND getting a 5+++Rerollable on a run is hard to fucking kill no matter how you slice it

They do have deepstrike

>>94083921
For extra laughs and giggles you should give your praetor the ever vigilant core warlord trait. The unit uses the praetor's initiative +1 for run move distance in that case. Add the ravenwing bonus on top, and you got jetbikes flying 23" in one turn.
>>
>>94083880
If it gets infiltrate it can also outflank
>>
if the traitor primarchs and the loyalists played a 9v9 highlander game of TF2 what class would each primarch play?
which team would win?
>>
>>94083936
I dont find deepstrike worth using, i have tried using it so many times in so many ways and it has never panned out for me in hh2.0.
The oppressive nature of Intercept just makes them not worth it. Combine that with jet bikes are STILL only T4, meaning s8 is going to be instant deathing them, i dont find it worth it, just to have them sit there the entire turn and get lit up by intercept, return fire, and overwatch.

>>94084569
I disagree, I think the darkfire cannon is the coolest, however, you like the mauler bolt cannon, and the dice rolled in your favor


Put it all on black
>>
Fellas, how do I kit out my Thallax? Feels like it's a tossup between Multi Meltas and Photon thrusters, the former having the upsides of not killing them and being more compact, with the latter being a little big looking, but also more mechanicum-themed with some neat rules. How do I choose?
>>
>>94084569
They aren't as bad as people make them out to be either. Mauler bolt cannons are still a decent amount of high strength shots, and with pinning too. Castellax with mauler bolt cannons are not worth the effort needed to kill them quick, meaning they often get the time to stack some bodies.
>>
>>94084600
I personally adore the Photon Thruster line of weapons
>>
>>94084600
Pick depending on what you actually want them to do. If their sole role is gonna be destroying vehicles from deep strike multi-melta all the way, but if you want them to take on a more flexible role than photon thruster all the way.

If you're struggling to pick though, go with the photon thruster just for the sake of using the cool mechanicum toys.
>>94084601
That was my line of thinking when considering them, though they will have line since I'm taking them in a cybernetica archmagos allied detachment, so I have a feeling they might come under some more fire then if they weren't (likely not as much as the 4 man castellax unit that has photon thrusters and multi-melta's though)

With krios venators and thanatars stomping about, I'm sure they'll slip under the radar to some extent hopefully

>coils of the hydra
>take 30 interemptors
>interemptors are elites and thus cost 2 RP so 2x3=6, you get 6 RP to deploy units on the board at the start so you can deploy all 30
>interemptors get fearless until a unit comes on via coils
>when a unit comes on, it gets +1 to hit in both shooting and melee via coils, which pairs well with how you can come on via multiple board edges in ZM and thus quite close to units

should I?
>>
>>94083956
My specific problem is that the squad gains Outflank, but the vehicle doesn't. Which forbids it from outflanking in it, since "every model in the outflanking force must have Outflank (or be inside w transport that has it)", and the transport doesn't have it.
>>
>>94084100
Interceptor dooms any single squad. But multiple still have a chance.
I outflanked one Land Raider and two Rhinos once, and the LR fucking ate it in the Intercept (2 Autocannon IF HSS). But the Seekers it carried luckily emerged un-pinned, and 30 guys with special bolters are still useful.
I thought the LR dying to Interceptor was strong, but was my opponent's Reaction meant to be fruitless? Ofc no. Anyone would like their dice to carry some consequence.
>>
Man am I losing my mind? I could've sworn militia had a rule where if a unit sees another within 6' falling back they have to take a morale test as well.

They literally have the same width as the plastic torsos, Ivan, I measured them with calipers. There are also countless examples online of people using correct combos of arms & guns with them with zero issues. Come on man this is just getting embarassing now - we get it, you really really really don't like Tortuga, all the people that like them are dumb and wrong and gay and bad, change the record. Maybe go back to spamming "proontfag" again, that was a fun buzzword for a little while.
