I haven't cared since they removed rules for making your own, special characters are for ninnies.

My friend is offloading 20 of the older cataphractii terminators and I'm trying to figure out what loadouts to give them in a World Eaters force.

I was thinking of making 5 or 6 of them Terminator Command with Chainfists
6 with Powerfist+Stormbolter
And another 6 with Lightning Claws but I don't know if that's worthwhile when I already have 20 rampagers.
I was thinking maybe convert 6 or 8 into red butchers.
I was also thinking of using 1 as a Praetor

Thoughts?

I don't trust melee as antitank, but maybe it's just a WE thing they have enough attacks for
>>
>>97460438
When fluffing up campaign characters what’s a good rule of thumb for point costs? Working on some ideas with friends and I’m wanting my special snowflake to be a duelist type character. Is a rule/wargear that lets him always hit on 3+ to good? Was thinking 25pts. Lord knows 5th ed wolves getting it for 10 was kinda dumb.
For 2nd edition heresy, if it matters. Each player gets one gimmick to add to their warlord. Along with standard fair.
Also, anybody got the 2.0 legacies pdf?
>>
>>97461119
I figured the 3 attacks (the +1/-1 offset by WE vs Chainfist) each on 5 models at S10 should be good against a lot of vehicles.

But, then again, I'm paying almost 600 for the 5 guys + chainfists + land Raider.
Fluffy? I think so
Effective? No, I'm probably better off with three Vindicators or even a Kratos + other stuff.
>>
>>97461119
DESU i think them going "LOL chain fist is 1 attack" was a fucking mistake.
>>
>>97461166
Same, but -1A is easier to implement than -1 offensive WS. I don't know how else they'd implement chainfists being more cumbersome than power fists.
Because the goal was to make chainfists, thunder hammers and power fists be equivalent to one another, so they gotta be priced the same

>>97461121
i think it's fine. it's not as good as hatred or a +1 WS. will you give him a master crafted weapon ?
>>
>>97461166
I don't think it's chain fists that are bad, it's just that there's exactly 3 AVs for them to target: av10, which both power fists and chainfists can demolish twice over but chainfists are slightly worse against, AV11-12, which is rarer and chainfists have advantage over but again, for every vehicle with it power fists can also just barely do the job, and AV14, where power fists do nothing while chainfists tear it apart. The problem is when you bring in non-vehicle profiles, power fists can hold their own while chainfists are severely crippled because they'll wound on about the same number. Personally, all I would do is tweak the shred on chainfists to 5+ and leave it alone, so it remains the anti big thing specialist and becomes more effective against dreadnoughts, daemons, automata, and tough characters. Though I guess then you risk Jo schmo master sergeant terminator chosen champion with a chainfist actually killing weaker primarchs with a potentially D4 lucky finishing blows...

Just finished up a rotor cannon squad for my World Eaters. I was planning on running them in 2nd ed, but never really got around to it. Are they still worthwhile in 3rd?
>>
>>97461254
Dunno yet. I'd be stupid to not grab a paragon blade or great frost blade, but I do enjoy flavor.
Still in the planning phase tho. Gotta see what everyone agrees on for conversion limits. Might be able to grab something spicy.
>>
>>97461591
Ehh, they're good but in different ways. On one hand their status applying ability isn't as strong, but it's easier to apply since it just needs to hit, not do an unssved wound, and it'll still help your weater brethren stay safe by forcing snap shots. I'd try and run the unit as 2 units if 5 if you can, so you can try and suppress 2 different units each shooting phase. Even better if you can get a Herald in to apply fear to the enemy and make them test suppress on a 5 or less.

Rules wise they're kinda underwhelming for the points investment. Damage output is low and the status they (might) inflict is situational. Cool factor is high though, especially for ZM.

I agree with anon >>97461735, two squads of 5 seems like a smart play if you want to use them.

The WebWay War was so intense and the WebWay so large that the Custodes and their Imperial allies were able to employ aircraft and fought an air war inside the tunnels in support of the forces on the ground.

A single plasma cannon in a unit not so much, but once you get 4+ plasma cannons in a single unit they begin to get scary amounts of hits that will kill infantry through sheer number of saves alone, not even considering the Breaching. A HSS of 5 with plasma cannons can clean up a tactical squad in one shooting phase if two or three stand just a little to close to each other, seen it happen many times. Blast weapons are just not cool with how accurate they've become this edition.

Sometimes I look at rules, releases and articles by GW and I think that they either do not play their own games and/or they think that their player base is people who are buying only the last 2-3 editions current plastics, build the way they are shown on the box with some sort of "narrative", but they never turn the narrative in to actual rules. So if you do build you cool all terminators army, you get to play vs the regular armies and lose over and over again, till you build the same army everyone else plays.

I just don't know. Maybe it is just me being stupid or it is a gigantic cultural difference.
It is like here are breachers, they are cool. And I am like, and where am I going to use them when I have to spam line 3 tacticals and have no slots for line 1-2 infantry. And GW gives articles, but they write them as if somehow lore was mixing up rules. They resilient and powerful, but I am running the math and they are not (especialy vs the extra point cost comparing to tacticals).

Since nobody anwsered I went ahead and tried it on a test model.
Middle is pure Akhelian Green over a preshaded silver metallic model(nuln oil then drybrush).
Left is the same but with a X-13 zenithal.
Right is one of my current method, Akhelian Green with Contrast Medium 1:1 over Leadbelcher with Runefang Steel zenithal.

I like the effect a lot, but maybe worth going over it with Akhelian Green again to make it more... green.

the hands being separate from the arms actually makes them a straight upgrade, since they can be used on other or even old armours too. It's not easy, but it's possible. The new boarding shields are actually quite good.
>>
>>97464725
Yeah, the only downside is that you don't get more than 1 graviton gun and 1 lascutter per 10 shields. Thankfully I still got some of those in resin to build a proper veteran breacher squad.
>>
>>97464744
Well, I don't much care for the new bolters, but that's by the by. I also don't care for the grav gun being redesigned purely to make it easier to do in one part. The Lascutter looks okay?

Centurion: axe, combi grav
Centurion in Terminator Armour: axe, volkite charger, atramentar prime
Vigilator

3x 10 man tac squad + vox (one malefic)
2x Havoc/Dozer blade rhinoes

2x 2 Gravis Bolter Rapiers
2x 2 Laser destroyer rapiers

Kratos Assault Tank, meltagun, lascannons, locus, dozerblade

Contekar Terminator Squad: 3 flamers, 2 volkite, master sgt with escaton claw
Seeker Squad: 5 seekers
Veteran Tactical Squad: sgt with thunder hammer, 8 volkites, flamer, rotor cannon

Terror Squad: master sgt with thunder hammer, 7 chainglaives, flamer, rotor canon
Night Raptor Squad: 5 hammers, 5 dual claws, flamer

How do you guys get your spray paint mixture to be the same every time? I swear my airbrush produces a slightly different color every time I use it.

>>97466219
I don't think it's OP but I think you fell for the vanguard is bad meme and you're going to crumble to literally any army with even just like assault marines. Your whole army is literally just some marine bodies, a Kratos, and a unit of contenkar and that's it
>>
>>97466398
Yea, its not a really durable list, nothing outside the kratos can take a punch.

But its a fair few marine bodies, and the vets/terror squad should be able to do that "mid range brawling" with the likes of assault marines and despoilers.
>>
>>97466418
And anyways, the weaknesses of the list (which im sure exist) dont really interest me, im more concerned with whether its OP and something I shouldnt take to casual games.

I had someone complain that it felt like they didnt get to play the game against me, and I want to know if thats due to the list or simply the way I play (premeasuring and so on)
>>
>>97466254
Well, if you're mixing different paints then make sure to get the mix exactly the same each time, same as if you had been using a brush.
If not (or on top of that) it sounds like you're either getting not-quite-good-enough opacity so the appearance changes with the exact opacity and whatever colour is underneath, or you have a paint that changes a bit as it dries and you keep comparing the previously applied paint to the not-yet-dry paint you just applied. Or both.

probably about 2% of GW's sales are to 'serious gamerz' so it makes sense they don't have any care if the game is actually balanced or good.

All they care about is that the models and rules are at a level that someone who doesn't know they suck will give them a try. Once you've spent $150 on rulebooks and $500 on minis to play your first game, you can't get your money refunded even if the game blows donkey cock. Hell, GW LOVES it when you buy an army for $1000 then they make it unfun, nerfed, uncompetitive and torture to play, because there's like a50% chance the plastic addict won't quit the hobby but instead will react by picking up a 2nd $1000 point army purchase or a 3rd one, saying "GW you really fucked up on tyranids!!!

you just don't know shit, they themselves have said more than 70-80% build and paint things without playing.

Ok sure but how many of those 70-80% are repeat customers?
How many of the repeat customers are ones actually playing the game.

NTA but when you don't bring big expensive vehicles for a porphyrion to blow up it becomes a complete waste of points. Its main weapon is a mere 4 shots now, no longer blast.

It is why I like Germany too.
If you can read in Japanese the latest logh manga adaptation by Fujisaki Ryu is a fun read.
It isn’t a perfect adaptation but I felt what needed to stay faithful stayed faithful like the ship designs. What changed I felt didn’t really deviate too much.
And some parts are over the top in what I found to be a good way like pic related.

What are the health consequences of swinging an axe at a metal wall for prolonged periods of time? Or just pulling the trigger on a meltagun/lascutter?

Repetitive strain injury at worst. Lascutters and meltaguns not having recoil also reduces the possibility of health consequences from use.

>>97468350
anon, in most civilised countries women have a ban on working with stuff like jack hammers or mining drill, because it is extremly detrimental to health of even men. And neither one of those are used to cut bulkheads. Even if you reinforced the muscles and armour, the vibration would screw your brain, it would be like being slowly being KOed every second. And the the damage to the wrist, elbow and shoulder joint on the "chainfist" arm would be brutal. Probably kin to working with heavy duty tools for years condensed in to a few seconds.

No.
However, we know they adopted flames and fire as part of the iconography due to their volcanic homeworld and by the time of 40k both their moons are used to train up Tempestus Scions known as the Lambdan Lions. The Lions often serve alongside side or directly under the priests of Mezoa.
If I were painting Mezoa I'd combine the colours of the Lambdan Lions with the colours of fire and ash. Something like red or orange armour and black/dark grey cloth and silver trim.
>>
>>97468471
NTA but there's probably reasons nor related to health and safety as to why SA don't have chainfists. Mind you, not even space marines in power armour can use a chainfist, only marines wearing terminator armour can. There could be some sort of power demand or leverage related reason for it, though the in-universe explanation seems to be that chainfists are so slow and cumbersome that you will get hit before getting a chance to connect with a swing. Wearing terminator armour would reduce the chance of getting killed before ever getting a chance to land an attack.

looks wierd though. An ax should always come with a build in musket. And by the time you do that you may as well just get a bardiche. maybe the love for axes is one of those cultural things, that come from being nations that live from the sea, instead being land locked like normal regular people.

Which Terminator armor is your favorite?
>>
>>97469147
Indomitus.
Cataphracti is just weird, saturnine is laughably bad designwise and tartaros is just okay I guess.
>>
>>97469144
Yes. The black contrasts very nice with the bone, red and green spot colours, and some checker patterns make it more interesting too.
>>
>>97469147
I think Tartaros might be my favourite, though it's not super clear cut.
Indo and Cataphractii are both really good, though I can't say I care for their redesigns.
Old Saturnine (Or Nocturne or Unidentified Terminator Armour) I'm vaguely fond of. New Saturnine I dislike with a passion.

>>97469147

I place Cataphractii and Indomitus on the same level for different reasons. I like the idea of OG Saturnine, but GW fucked it like always with their 30k Centurion suit. Tartaros is just an egg. Wish we got the 3rd RT terminator with the beetle back and built in launcher, but I fear GW's just gonna make another abortion of it, so I'm fine.

They are full-sized heads with a hemisphere connection, but they appear to be a tad narrower than a MkII helmet. There's five for each sprue with three bodies.

>>97467464
Yup, they’re the epic guys scaled up. Really fun models.

>>97467574
The only infantry that dealt with knights were my Morlocks, they charged into one that arrived via outflank. Like 2.0 basic bolter boys can put a dent in them but I’d only do it as last resort cleanup. Tanks and the Levi were definitely on knight and armiger duty, with the Levi alone cleaving through both the Maegera and Questoris both getting 1 tapped by it in Melee. Very lucky rolls there though.

it's the Saturnine-style long shoulders I think, there's just something really satisfying about them, plus those clip-on heavy flamers have liiterally never been bettered as a heavy flamer design, they need detailing sure but they're pure sex, even the Tartaros heavy flamer doesn't come close

No, old school conversions were Indomitus with GK heads or the normal Indomitus face cut to a GK head (it was a rather simple job, t. done it myself back in the day) and usually, if not using 3rd party pads, Dreadnought leg armour or Ork shoulder plates to give that Cataphractii look.

i'd say about twenty instances of toad infantry of whatever flavor in individual models is the limit of a tasteful assemblage of them desu, three 5x sentinel/guard/hetaeron kits with a group of three aquilon terminators is where i drew the line
one or two dreadnoughts atop is permissible, a telemon was my pick 'cuz it's cash and cool as hell and massive and a super centerpiece unit in their assembly
they're a small basal/allied detachment sort of army list in my eyes but if one wanted to go ham in doing something larger i wouldn't be that offended even if it comes off as a little silly as the pretense of governing a mass formation of them is yucky to my sensibilities
hard no on the tanks and other vehicles personally as they seem more at home in the setting of the great crusade as opposed to the throes of the heresy

As with the other anon said, despite the Custodian Guard kit being released in the Prospero box originally - their aesthetic has permeated itself into the Wardens, Allarus Terminators, Vertus Praetors, Blade Champion, Trajaan, Valerian, and of course the more recent Shield-Captain Manlytears. The plastic dreads and vehicles look neutral enough, and the Venatari are pretty lightly armored anyway, so the visual dissonance isn't as huge other than no matching greaves.

In regards to how 40k will react specifically, I think anything can happen from this point.

>it's still unclear if Custodes will keep the same Forge World immunity as Knights in 40k with 30k models
>the army isn't exactly popular in both games
>neither 30k nor 40k players will give too much of a fuck about what style you prefer and run for your infantry (outside of future units in the former)
>40k does a GOTCHA as predicted; 11th Edition sends 30k era models to Legends despite the army arguably not having enough to support itself (then again, look at WE/EC/Votann); this is doing the same jew stunt they did with 30k Kratos and Leviathans in 40k from 9th to 10th
>alternatively, there could even be a chance that the 40k-specific models get squatted instead, as more 30k equivalents return in plastic
>also, 30k boxes come with more infantry models by default, and future resin to plastic infantry will probably be in the new style

If you're paranoid, then maybe stock up on Custodian Guard if you prefer the old style? Or print. In the meantime at least, I think that Wardens will stick around for a while longer and they look mostly close anyway, shame we don't have Hetaeron Guard moving forward. Guards are also in the current 40k 10th Edition Combat Patrol and that likely isn't going away for at least another year or so.

I wonder what made GW give the idea that a "ice" weapon should be better then a Terran/Calibanite Blade. especialy at the cost.

not scared. blocking off the tunel in a heroic attempt to let civilian women escape the destruction of Izka.

Can Casterferrums or contemptors be armed with grav canons?
>>
>>97475650
No, contemptors can have graviton guns in their fists but that's it. Only rapiers and predators can have graviton cannons iirc.
>>
Think we're gonna see a Mk IV Dreadnought in plastic?
>>
>>97475680
Only a matter of time. Plenty of people that would kill for a plastic HH castraferrum dreadnought kit with all weapon options, and if even fucking tarantula sentry guns get plastic models...
>>
>>97475743
So far all the Dreadnoughts were pretty faithful to their resin counterparts, right? I just hope we don't get another Cata situation.
>>
>>97475756
The plastic dreadnoughts have been almost the exact same as the resin variants. It seems that it's mostly the marine infantry that gets a needless redesign, custodes infantry being the other.
>>
>>97475771
At least the nuMk IV seem to be looking pretty faithful, judging by the rulebook illustrations.

Back to /40kg/ with you
>>
>>97475793
GW didn't even dare redesign indomtius terminators for 40k pr*maris marines. They know they can't fuck with some designs.
>>
>>97475836
Then explain all the redesigns they did to HH models. Even the Indomitus got some changes made to it, though small. Besides, they're not touching the holy MkV Castraferrum design, only the FW MkIV design.
>>
Has anyone been able to fit a combi-bolter into the new pods? Would, for example, a Rhino cupola hatch with the twin-bolters fit into the ceiling, between the struts?
>>
>>97475850
Nobody has to explain anything to anyone. Fuck off back to your containment general.
>>
>>97475892
Dunno, ask /40kg/.
>>
>>97475892
Haven't heard nor seen anybody buy those ugly pieces of crap.
>>
>>97475892
But why tho? We already have hh drop pods with combibolters.
