Sort of, it's -1S and no volley, but 3 shots instead of 2.

The main thing is they are both 12in range so it's close enough that you see dual plasma pistols and your brain thinks 12in plasma, so I figure I can get away with it.

The Saturnines are little shits to build though. So many pieces and I am getting descision paralysis on how to pose them
>>
>>97116959
Don't try to pose saturnine terminators too dynamic, going safe and simple is the way. I've tried doing more interesting poses, but that just makes them look weird with how limited their limbs can move. Doing quite static, standing or slow stride poses gives them a nice lumbering look.

In a game full of space marines (that are still shorter than primaris even with the nu-30k size boost), a militia army made of 28mm historicals really aren't as badly scaled as you're suggesting.

Realistically a well chosen historical range is perfect for a pre-industrial militia army. They are generally about the same height (if much more normally proportioned/less bulky) compared to Cadian kit or Empire infantry kits - so as long as you don't have them on the same table as these you really won't notice a serious scale issue. They also make space marines look more menacing.

Using wga kits for my militia. Their body sizes are weirdly specific so I either print all 100+ arms with guns for them or keep searching.

Honestly I'm starting to think marine players just might be retarded. Everyone keeps touting tacticals in rhinos on objectives as the end all be all but in every game I've played so far it comes down to the same pattern
>run tacticals up on objective
>I blast them off the board, pin and/or suppress them, or charge them with blood slaughterers
>I put thallax on objective
>marine player is baffled as they now score no points for the rest of the game
>meanwhile their one deathstar in a spartan or land raider is getting blasted apart by domitars, darkfire cannons, photon thrusters, and krioses on the other side of the board
Like seriously it's like a lack of higher brain function in there, they're simply unable to consider that maybe they should hold back their tacticals until the board is more cleared, or to use the rhino as a LOS blocker (not that helps bs blasts, but still), or to take some Terminators to help guard the objective or fight back against thallax. It's madness.
>>
>>97117813
They are. I've had similar experience, but then playing marines myself as well. Don't play the "meta" army of tacticals in rhinos backed up by a kratos and a deathstar in land raider/spartan myself. Have some dmg 2 large blasts to first kill all their scoring turn 1, then start removing elite infantry after. Got a 20 man despoiler squad with telekinesis libby camping the highest value objective, and they collect more VP than four tactical squads in rhinos, because my unit has actual staying power.

Somehow even though they wrote 60 million books between actual novels and game books, they haven't written any real fucking lore on the Heresy, so how am I going to make a narratively cohesive force that acts in a narratively cohesive way?

They don't discuss any squad level, company level, legion level strategies that are employed beyond vague shit like "Sons of Horus are the tip of the spear" "World Eaters are aggressive!". Every legion they handwave organizations like "okay in theory a company is 1000 marines, but in practice this legion used coteries that could be between 1 squad and 700 squads". Every character with Captain as their title is given Praetor rules in the wargame but we're told that Captains are Centurions and Praetors are Something Else (by the way, another cool thing they apparently decided to do is make Praetor and Centurion purely game terms so this bit is double awful)

Isn't this supposed to be a narrative game? Where's the lore? Why's it only got vague, inconsistent fluff seemingly designed for the players to do whatever the fuck they want in the sandbox? This shit may as well be 1.0 AoS

>They don't discuss any squad level, company level, legion level strategies that are employed beyond vague shit like "Sons of Horus are the tip of the spear" "World Eaters are aggressive!".
I read about the legions I cared about, and I did find sufficient fluff on them. Death Guard's doctrinal preference for infantry and infantry-support vehicles, preferred weapon classes, types of combat blade, how their discipline allows a clear chain of command meaning each squad members knows who'd be in command if their Sergeant was killed, and then the next guy after him and so on.
What are you looking for, anon?
>Every legion they handwave organizations like "okay in theory a company is 1000 marines, but in practice this legion used coteries that could be between 1 squad and 700 squads".
What would you like organization to be like? What would you like to see?
>Every character with Captain as their title is given Praetor rules in the wargame but we're told that Captains are Centurions
That was the case in 2.0, but people like Tarvitz and Lucius are centurion-class characters as they should've been from the beginning.
If anything, some argue Erebus shouldn't be a mere Chaplain, but instead a Praetor-class "master of chaplains" sort of dude.
>>
>>97117813
>>97117921
Ngl, my plan was indeed to rush 3 Land Raiders forwards, followed by multiple Inductii in Rhinos
I figured 3 Land Raiders was safer than risking everything inside a single Spartan, as it divides attention between 3 AV14 targets instead of concentrating everything on a single one. Plus, if a LR gets immobilized, you still have 2/3 of your force.
I also thought embarking Inductii in Rhinos meant my opponent requires a moderate antitank tax to engage a mere troops choice. Either the Rhinos drive safe under the umbrella provided by the Land Raiders, or the enemy's antitank is too dispersed and they can't deal with 7 transports at once.

And you tell me Mech of all people can counter that? I was told their antitank was Vultarax & Thanatar Solex (rare), Myrmidons (insufficiency), and deepstriking melta Thallax. Melthallax.

Irdk what to hold the home detachment with lol. Someone will deepstrike and just sweep them

Yeah. A chaplain falls to the Sapphire King, greater daemon of slaanesh, after witnessing a factory perfectly enmeshing flesh and steel. Slaanesh isn't sex, it's obsession, and EC were sworn brothers with IH because they both strived for perfection, albeit in their own way, one despising weakness, the other despising flaws. On top of their primarchs bring very good friends, that is.
That chaplain retained only a human silhouette, for his joints were double sided and his eyes were cameras all around his head, meaning he had no front or back, and could see all around him simultaneously.

I was almost persuaded to buy some of the BL books. But I have all the black books now and have been reading those in order. Not gonna lie they have all the lore one could ever need. They leave just enough information out imo that it allows a lot of wiggle room for the table top.
>>
>>97118598
How does the trivia of which type of combat blade is preferred and the chain of command for a squad (for which there is no mechanic) help you play your Death Guard narratively?

What does a battle for the Death Guard look like at the level of the wargame? Beyond I take lots of "infantry and dreadnoughts"? They trudge forward through muck and mud and shoot the whole way? Which book gets more specific than this?

For organization, I'd like anything more solid than "here's some basic terms and numbers that literally everybody deviated from - we included this information only to fill page count. No, we won't specify the deviations."

I am coming from wargames where things are specified to the level that you can actually carry out the lore that is written. A squad of this faction consists of 10 soldiers, with 3 fireteams containing 2 riflemen and a specialist gunner. A company is 4 such squads, often with a heavy weapon team of 6 (1 shooter, 1 spotter, 4 loaders) accompanying.
In battle, 2 fireteams perform overwatch while the third moves up the field towards the objective. They then leapfrog until all fireteams are where they need to be. There are then further company level doctrines, regiment level doctrines, etc. For all factions involved!

This enables me to understand how units would act on the battlefield, and play out the fantasy of the world I am dedicating my play time into in a way that makes sense within the world. It also allows me to intentionally deviate from doctrine when/where it makes sense for the characters I'm playing as. All I've found in 30k is vague fluff you can loosely associate to the tabletop (which seems mostly disconnected as the mechanics don't appear to support a lot of the fluff for some reason)
>>
>>97118662
I mean, the trouble with all that is that if you want to score, you have to step foot outside the vehicle. And vs a mech force, anything in power armor that can be seen is probably dead. Anything that can't be seen will be bombarded with statuses by deep striking thallax and karacnos mortars. Or I'll just cruise around your cover with a krios and hit you anyway.
>>
>>97118662
The thing is that you don't have to kill the AV 14 transports; you just have to kill what comes charging out of the transport. Which is a lot easier, and even Mech has a lot of ways to kill terminators. Sure, you'll lose some models to the melee combat, but after your unit ran away you start blasting.

You want 2.0's (and 1.0's) rites of war for the army composition restrictions you are looking for. 3.0 is far more permissive and allows you for "unfluffy" tactics like having Raven Guard bring a ton of tanks, which 1.0 specifically forbid with a named rule and explanatory fluff (HH3).
But overall the rulebooks do avoid being too strict on battle doctrine and leave a lot of room for you, the local commander, to decide if you'll follow or break with doctrine. Even the Principia Bellicosa is noted to be outdated by more than a century and be more of a set of general guidelines at this point.

>What does a battle for the Death Guard look like at the level of the wargame? Beyond I take lots of "infantry and dreadnoughts"? They trudge forward through muck and mud and shoot the whole way? Which book gets more specific than this?
Not dreads, terminators. They did use dreads because they could go where Predators couldn't, supporting the infantry that made the core of the Death Guard armies, but they would also use lots of Terminators. Both their legion specific units are terminators, unlike every other legion where only one of them were terminators, and most only got their second termie unit in Exemplary Battles (if at all). Source, HH1.
They also don't keep dedicated tank companies like other legions, instead they bring them as infantry support. But they do have transports, and also have a lot of assault guns like Vindicators and similar (HH1).
The book specifically mentions they do indeed trudge forwards through muck and mud and shoot the whole way (HH1), which was doubled down in 2.0 when they gained pseudo-Relentless, and is still around in 3.0 when they limited it to 4" walking. Though HH1 says this wasn't mandatory, and they could field jump pack companies when needed

>How does the trivia of which type of combat blade is preferred help you play your Death Guard narratively?
My erection confuses the foe. Also, all play is narrative if you write fluff :^)

I'm not looking for restrictions. I'm looking for their doctrine. Which, as you're pointing out, is intentionally vague so as to do whatever the hell you want in the sandbox. Which is very disappointing, as I can get that same level of detail from games that don't advertise themselves (and aren't advertised by the community) as narrative.

I want a recipe for pepperoni pizza so I can craft my own logical variants, and all The Heresy appears to give is "some flour, some water, some salt. Optionally: cheese and pepperoni".

"Trudging through the muck and mud shooting all the way" isn't a doctrine, it's a writer who doesn't know how a battle works trying to get to the next paragraph as fast as he can. When I read Black Library novels the level of detail is literally "Enemy force walks up, POV force attacks them [with artillery, jetbike, or bolter, depending on POV legion]. There are some casualties on both sides. A side is victorious."

I will give credit where it's due, though. In Saturnine there was a description of a battle where the traitors used artillery fire to shake the defenders, then a mass wave attack of disorganized human/abhumans. That's literally more tactical detail than every other battle in the book (titans walk up to wall: Sanguinius cuts them in half. Traitors are at wall: Jetbikes cruise out and stab them all. 10 bajillion world eaters run across a bridge and every loyalist dies. Some terminators come out of termite drills and get killed in the basement by ambushers. The entire Emperor's Children legion appear at a section of wall and then run away because Rogal Dorn was there)

>>97119025
Nta but I sometime wish they went more in-depth too. The thing is with how vague things are you can't go wrong with just sticking to a theme and sprinkling in a few outliers most of the time when picking your units. If you want to go more in-depth on tactics the black books have a lot of battles and you can extrapolate how a legion would try to reach a certain goal fairly easily.
Using the DG as an example they get a RoW(the reaping) that lets you get vets and HSS as non-comp troops, lets you pick rad nades for characters and lets you move through difficult terrain more easily and safely but forbid you from deepstriking and limit you to a single fast attack unit. There are also mentions of poison ships being used which are normal ships with viral weapons going solo around the imperium, dropping plagues on planets and scurrying away. From this, the rest of the fluff in the black books and I guess LIgma you can understand that the DG, if they had to land and conquer a planet, would first bomb things from space which is something all legions do, land, do a preliminary bombing with chem shells, slowly close in hugging cover and firing, supporting their tacticals and other infantry with a lot of HSS and get at grenade range if they could. They wouldn't care much about leaving an useful planet and they wouldn't shy off being discount NL according to one battle where they broke into a sealed bunker, skinned one of the survivors and left him impaled on something as a message. As for space battles Mortarion's ship is a battleship/carrier which had its stc on his home planet so there might have other similar but smaller ships and they are one of the few legions with a specific "class" of ship that we know how it's armed and how it's used (the poison ships). I'm glossing over a lot but there so much to read in 1.0 that it makes what comes after kinda shit because they expect you to have already read it.

What you are looking for is actual historicals, not Warhammer.
If you want all the exact details of everything, like sergeant McDuckfucker always shat in a bucket on wednesday evening, go play historicals.
Warhammer is more about "Then individual/group did this cool thing!" and very fuzzy on the terminal autism details you sound obsessed about.
You also seem to think the legions were more like companies, with specialisations they rarely strayed from. When in actuality the legions were more like the entire army of a country, fully independent and capable of execution a wide variety of strategic and tactical methods. Each legion just had a preference for a certain thing.
>>
>>97119080

The Krios being so zoomy has been one of my favourite little gimmicks this edition. It's fun to imagine a Mechanicum tank column bombing along a still-warm highway being laid by an unreasonably fast macro-crawler at the front of said column because their cruise speed on flat terrain approximates that of a Land Speeder and the Mechanicum can certainly flatten out terrain if it has to.

(Also, that Lightning Cannon is nuts, I don't know why it has kept the right to high-damage AP3 pie-plates when almost nothing else has but I am very much not complaining.)

Same here, I have the exact same problem as you when fluffing up new companies because it's never been specified how much of the support things like tanks or apothecaries in something like an infantry company are too much so I just make up numbers like 3 tanks per demicompany which aren't supported by anything other than what I believed at that time felt right or what I wanted to pick. Pic related is the terminus, it's one of the most visually interesting ships in warhammer if you can get past the huge hole in the front that begs people to send torpedoes in even with the void shields.

People who play ZM as more than an intro game don't like the small armies because it lets them spend less, they like small armies because it means you can have *more armies*.

>Walking and shooting isn't a doctrine
It literally is. That is, a set of guiding principles and practices. And in the Death Guard's case it involves methodically advancing, unhurried but undaunted, with unrelenting firepower, until the enemy is killed or charged and then killed. This is also seen in Pale King, where the DG is facing a lot of tanks with infantry following them, so they form a wide thin line. And the tank columns find out they can kill the space marines...but only one at a time, while the DG can dish out all their firepower at the same time. They cripple the tanks, box everyone in and make a zones mortalis out of the front lines, while the enemies at the back are pounded at by fire support. The survivors scatter into the deadly wilderness, but they are followed and killed by the Death Guard, who hail from an even worse place and this aren't slowed down like the survivors are.

>>97122556

I am personally a fan of the max alchem flamer TSS with a Warmonger attached. Fairly cheap, enemies can't move-react to your deep strike and they don't care if they get suppressed because templates don't roll to hit. Drop in, dump 10-11 ideal template shots into your target unit and watch it atomise under the pressure of 50+ armour saves.

>>97122647
I honestly hadn't even thought of a warmonger. Not sure I'd want to max out the squad since one part of the table on lockdown means they'll flow around it, but I'll definitely try this out.

>>97122743
I mean it feels like that and Deathshroud are always the answer I suppose, but yeah, fuck it, why not another squad of 10.
>>
>>97122556
Can you put statuses on them? Because you get easy access to Suppressive, Panic and Stunning. Or do rotos cannons Pin instead of Suppress... Fuck I keep forgetting which does what lol
Well, and if you can't Status them, maybe Alchem flamers. No panic but gain better wounding. Flamers put the full template even when snap firing, right?
>>
>>97122770

You may as well max the squad out, 10 alchem-flamers costs the same 130pts as the Warmonger does and paying 130 just to deep strike 65 points of killsquad is pretty pointless. The advantage of the deep strike is that it almost guarantees you a perfect shooting phase unless you get intercepted by something dangerous enough to kill the squad off altogether, and then you stack 10 poison 2+ templates on a squad and kill it with weight of dice. If you don't have that weight of dice it's just a glorified moveblocker, but if you fire 11 alchem templates and hit all 5 of a squad of Red Butchers you probably kill 4 of them right there, or wipe an entire 20-man troop blob.

You can, they just don't really care all that much. Rotor does suppressive which is the thing they care least about it seems. Flamers do put templates down when snap firing I believe, he just doesn't give many chances to do snap firing. He avoids shooting in general.

>>97123017

I disagree. Despite some reference to it like "Colchis", the WB are more like caldeans or babylonians, or even evil hindus (Kali, etc. Remember the bad guy from pic related)

Thousand sons are the ones with ancient Persia influence, not only egyptian.
After all, Ahriman is named Ahriman.

hmm interesting I read some short stories and the Word Bearers names were very much what I hear or similar, even in my family.
I guess the question changes to were there ever loyalist 1ksons ? From what I have seen on book covers at least they didn't change in to some sort of marine mutants. I do like their red armour+white looks. Very regal . and they use Caducei just like we do in our churches symbol. So that would be kind of a cool too.

Being called Ahriman is brutal. A bit like being calld Shaitan or Mozer

The point of TS is that they're utterly delusional.
They believed they were in control of the Warp, while they were just Tzeench's pawns
They believed themselves loyal while actually breaking the Emperor's laws and ignoring his warnings
They believed they were doing their own thing in the Siege, while they were just used and discarded by Horus to break the Sol System defences and the Emperor's shield
And so on. So Ahriman thinks he's a good guy but he's actually an evil bastard

Forgot to say it was concerning a Shattered Legions force consisting of WS/IH/TS. Pg 133 in the eponymous book for 2.0.

Didn't they, Garrius, and the SoH inductii all gather under the Imperial Fist banner and start crusading? They would have all died Dorn didn't care enough about his little bear to give him a chapter.
>>
>>97125551
Oh yeah that sounds right.

Pg103
>Garrius would long suffer the wounds dealt to him by Vheren, healed only by the combined efforts of the Mechanicum’s lacyraemara magi and the biomancers of the Thousand Sons, leaving him a hideous amalgam of augmetics and crudely re-shaped flesh. He would brood long on his loss and refused to return empty handed to Terra, where the Loyalists had won such a victory that none would ever forget it. Instead he took his warriors into the Warp to hunt the fleeing Traitors, seeking a new battlefield and a grander trophy that he might lay at Dorn’s feet in lieu of Cthonia. For years after the death of Cthonia and the end of the Battle for Terra, reports of a rogue fleet bearing the sigil of the Imperial Fists would arrive at Terra, from the final cataclysmic battle for Colchis to the breaking of Xana II, they moved from one tragedy to the next. Those few Loyalists that fought beside them would often remark that though all the warriors that followed Garrius wore the yellow heraldry of the Imperial Fists, they were unlike any others of that Legion – the songs of both lost Cthonia and Prospero heard as they marched to war.

No horrors. Everyone can afford a WAAC and non WAAC army at any point, and the people to paint it. So one day you could be playings a for fun cav charge reenactment of the Battle of Borodino, with both sides fielding nothing but various mounted legion elements. While next week you play a chill, but more compatitive 2xLR, 40 tacticals, 2 rhinos etc armies on both sides. Only for 4 weeks later to play real games that are full rapier batteries, protected by Arc +5inv fields, multiple sentry guns and the best of the best units AL armies can take from other legions in their army, fighting either WS with ally or A LOT of WS allied to other legions.

The poles act crazy, because they are poor and can play the game the way GW intends you to do it.

They very much dislike conversion beamers and lascannons, so a predator does fine as long as you can get the AP3 D2 template or better.

Personally I've become a fan of the Cbeamer Lernaean squad on the home objective, although they are only Line 1. They're consistently too much trouble to move even with power axes and a single hammer, and the beamer lets them contribute slightly.
>>
>>97129117
2, but you need 5 for their special rule to work; there's 1 in every 3 scimitars and then it's wherever you can scrounge them up since all the 40k kit updates got rid of them years before the switch to Primaris assblasters made them obsolete

Building my Seekers, is it worth it for the sarge to have melta bombs?
>>
>>97130082
Not really. A melta bomb alone isn't enough to destroy tough vehicles now, and against weak rear armour vehicles the krak grenades from a 10 man squad are usually enough already.

If you got multiple meltabombs in the same squad, or some ranged anti-tank softening up the vehicle, they become very useful though. Had my 10 effrit one-shot a fellblade with their meltabombs last game.

Basic predators, yay or nah? For 100pts it feels like a really annoying thing to deal with.
>>
>>97131144
I haven't used mine yet, but I've had a few games where some with lascannons,conversion bearers, or twin grav cannons have been a consistent pain in my side and yet there were more dangerous things I had to deal with so they were left alone. Admittedly, probably a part of that was that my anti tank tends to be lacking in general because I play mech so it's more effective to just shell their scoring troops into oblivion and win on attrition (the tactic, not the secondary objective, though i usually end up scoring that too) so YMMV
>>
>>97131175
Yea, the conversion beamers also look tasty. But if you kit them out they nearly double in cost.

And the thing is, admech arent the only ones who are now finding it annoying to kill tanks. People generally bring a few sources of AT (designed to crack the big shit) and then thats it, so im just thinking that mass vehicles might be really annoying for them to deal with.
>>
>>97131112

Ogryns and either LR of malc tanks.
Russes are cheap and still AV14 front. Malcadors are versatile.

Bring them in numbers, and your opponent has trouble dealing with them all.

Ogryns with mauls are just fun, and situational T6 from shields is fun as well.

Militia presents a fun shit list. Stuff is still absurdly expensive and lackluster compared to Legion units, but you are able to present a LOT of targets and this is how they survive on the tabletop.
