>Castraferrum is the best dreadnought
As it should be.
>>
>>97537828
Why are Mk IV discontinued anyway? It would be the perfect fit for HH.
>>
>>97537855
Because GW wants people to buy pr*marines.

Wouldn't surprise me if HH will get a plastic castraferrum at some point. Tarantula sentry guns already got promoted from being model-less legacy units to being included in the libers, with plastic models. And the good old boxnought is one of the most iconic and beloved models of space marines ever, it would be an easy win.
GW didn't even dare change indomitus terminator armour for pr*marines. They know what's up.
>>
>>97537813
The Achilles is even more heavily armed yet it retains a reduced transport capacity. It could be a thing
>>
>>97537919
I just wish Castraferrums had legs a bit longer. Or, legs at all. Basically no femurs. As if their calves sprouted right out their hips. Like Votan.
>>
>>97537997
If taking out four lascannons from a Land Raider can increase its transport capacity by 6, then adding six to one should reduce it by 9, making the capacity too small to be of any use. Then again, adding 6 lascannons to a slightly larger LR hull results in 16 more seats, so GW isn't exactly consistent with their own rules. I just feel like the Terminus Ultra is intended for long range anti-tank (and anti-titan) work, so having any transport capacity probably makes little sense and best reserved for more batteries and cooling. Meanwhile Achilles is for siege work, so breaching a fortification and deploying some dudes inside makes more sense.

They did Primarize dreads, just saying. Castraferrums are effectively Legends in 40k.
And in 30k, had the Cortus been released, Castraferrums would've probably lost their last remaining niche among true Contemptor, Deredeo, Leviathan, and now Saturnine dreads.
It's a miracle of mathematics that boxnoughts not only are relevant, but are actually rather good.
I'm glad the Cortus didn't replace it as the affordable dread. FW could totally double down on boxnoughts and give them options to build them up all the way into Ironclads. Hurrican bolters, couple of HK missiles and the like

the kratos is an awesome model and apparently really stronk in the current iteration and you don't appear to have any tanky tank tanks

Thanks, and honestly that does make sense. I have some spare bodies so I think I can come up with a few more infantry units. A kratos seems like something to put on the shopping list anyway since it's cool as fuck.

I'm stuck with all these Leviathan from battleforces, but if I drop 2 I should be able to fit in both a kratos and some more infantry.

i like the preponderance of leviathans personally even if you might have to shift some around in the name of points limits
and yeah the kratos is just a badass marine tank and a wildly heavy hitter with massive presence given the model's size. with the dozer blade on it gets near to the footprint of an astartes superheavy

well volley fire doesn't inflict statuses at all but depending on which test you failed in the shooting phase prior, you could be in a lot of trouble; failing any of them makes you fight at I1, but if you failed Panic then you're Routed and since the Fall Back move for that doesn't kick in until the end of the Assault phase, you're pretty fucked if you do get charged
>>
basilisk is S5 and ordnance (S)

now, I know they clarified in the FAQ that a weapon with heavy or ordnance (S) that ups the strength beyond 6 cannot be used as a defensive weapon for a reaction
....but what about for split firing? say I slap a multi-laser on the basilisk, can I shoot the multi-laser at the different target (e.g one thats in LoS while the earthshaker goes for something not in LoS), do I suffer a snapshot split fire penalty? or is it okay because despite being ordnance (S), its still a S5 gun and thus defensive?
>>
>>97539979
Looking forwards to these guys
>>
>>97540279
If the basilisk moved then yes, because the strength would be 5. But if it remained stationary the strength is doubled to 10 so it stops being a defensive weapon.
But not using the higher strength just to maybe apply one status effect to a different unit, and also needing LOS to that second unit defeating the point of being barrage and able to hide safely out of sight... it just seems like a whole lot of risk and effort for no real advantage.

tldr: if you can it isn't worth the hassle.

Pretty nice white scar, and Iron Hand heresy minis I think, those two in specific. Just headswap the fur coated one and gear swap them as well of course.
>>
>>97540338
just wanna know where thats written for future reference, I would assume its in the order of how ordnance/strength is applied to the weapon when making the attack?

besides, if the earthshaker is shooting out of LoS it doesn't care that it's snap shooting, it's scattering with barrage 2 anyway, because i'm fairly certain defensive weapons don't have to snap shoot when split firing
>>
>>97540410
It is how ordnance/heavy is applied, and nowhere in Defensive Weapons being any mention of the strength limit being for the unmodified characteristic.
>>
>>97540453
fair enough, still, shooting out of LoS with a basilisk (i.e why you took it) means it firing snap shots does nothing

hell, firing in LoS basically does nothing if you have an artillery command section nearby, sure you're almost always gonna scatter (hitting on a 6+ afterall), but you reduce the scatter by 3, on a large blast template
>>
>>97540494
Yeah artillery command sections are kinda nuts
>>
>>97540096
I'm confident I wrote my earlier comment right, but to clarify. What I meant to ask was:
Consider your model attacking an enemy with a Stun X gun. Stunned models cannot declare reactions.
>Can a unit attacked with a Stun weapon do a Return Fire?
I say yes, because the affected unit wouldn't gain the status until after failing the Cool check in the morale sub-phase.
But Return Fire is declared in Step 3 of the Shooting Attack (Declare weapons), though it doesn't actually happens until right before Step 11 (Removing casualties).

What I'm trying to say is:
Stun can never prevent Return Fire on the same turn; only Overwatch at most.
>>
>>97540584
That is correct yes. The supressed status effect also doesn't take effect until the end of the shooting phase, it feels kind of pointless. It doesn't affect return fire that shooting phase, and units with nuncio vox can just clear it before their shooting phase.
Melee units really seem to benefit the most from status effects.
>>
>>97540609
For all they say it is a Status edition, 2.0's Pinning already did all of that, earlier and more often.
Same for all their Duelling; every unit could duel back then, and now I can field a faceless army (Specialists cannot be issued challenges)

I was playing about with my brother playing Legion Imperialis getting used to the rules

Is shooting supposed to be this deadly given the scale? models were getting got left, right and centre. I got lucky with a few deep strikes within "4 of a detachment and sent 80 auxillia home in body bags sweeping a trench with half range bolter fire.
>>
>>97540734
>For all they say it is a Status edition, 2.0's Pinning already did all of that, earlier and more often
Yeah and because of it was way harder to apply, was rare as fuck, and only functioned if you took an army that spammed it as much as possible to gamble on one unit failing both an armor save and a check with no modifiers but fear
It's almost as if the intent was to make the effect easier to put around on weapons and allow statuses to occur much more frequently without breaking the game at scale
>>
Any recommendations for jump packs STL's for MKII and MKIII? That shit is way too expensive from GW.
>>
>>97540776
Anon, that sounds exactly like what would happen with a mass drop pod assault on auxilla. LI is definitely geared towards mass casualties, you aren't wrong.

Those auxilla were out of garrison and got STEEL REHN'd. Isn't it grand?
>>
>>97540776
Yes, things really do die that quickly. you now understand why I wrote an entirely different rule system for playing with LI minis
>>
>>97540609
it's simple, snipe the vox.
especially if you have seekers, that marine will eventually fail a save if you put all your precision 4+ shots on him

and not every unit HAS a vox
>>
>>97540823
You mean like pinning frag missiles, which now don't have it?
Or grenade and combi-grenade launchers, which now don't have it?
Or Thudd guns, which now don't have it?
Or like Blinding Conversion beamers, which now don't have it?

No. You surely mean Seekers, and especially Havoc launchers. Pinning for +5 pts on every vehicle, truly the pinnacle of game design! If only Tank Shock didn't have to die for that.
Flamers gaining Panic was nice, though. I actually appreciate that.

absolutely not. if they're expected to face significant fire on the ingress to their target it would be a hugely logical choice. near to all permutations of these things can be given logical basis.

Seekers are just tacticals that are good shots who are rounded up and sent to kill a specific target.

Surely the legions had some form of this prior to the Alpha Legion popularizing it, right? Basically just a killteam of snipers.

>>97541903
Scouts, Recon, etc. Seekers aren't meant to be snipers (at least in 1.0), but more of a kill team given a specific mission for the battle. They were meant to get in close and eliminate the target.

Everyone was bound to have crackshots, but it was AL who codified the doctrine of organizing them into squads of operators tasked with killing a specific target (they used to have "Marked for Death"), infiltrator training (Infiltrate X), and available armaments.
Did the Alpha Legion invent Kraken bolters and Scorpius, Tempest, and Kraken ammo? Unsure. But they then came up with Banestrike they later shared with SoH as if SoH's rules needed them, so they seem to know their way around making ammo. So, maybe?

Hey y'all, does anyone have some documents or lore bits on the Sons of Horus? I'm doing up a small force of them and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for their lore.

This very much so...but allegedly the SoH pioneered and expanded those doctrines, so there it is
>>97542129
Imagine if Night Lords gangers fought the the same conviction of Blood Angels and had a similar pack mentality to Space Wolves of Might Makes Right, but were actually disciplined and followed orders.
I'm not actually sure SoH do multi-angle assault, even with the Outflank they sometimes have...so that could be /Your Dudes'/ thing! Centered around mechanized power armour infantry instead of hulking terminators. A vast pack instead of a proud few.

If the Gal Vorbak were the first to paint their armour red, shouldn't the rest of your Word Bearers have at least some remnants or the old grey scheme? Did they all do it at once after seeing them in action during Istvaan?

What if you wanted to model WB’s who were curious but not sure if they should buy the chaos spiel. Bicurious WB’s if you will.
>>
>>97542424
WB are unique in that they invented Space Marine Chapters before it was made gay by the ultramarines. The legion is made of hundreds of chapters of 300-1000 marines, with their own symbols, traditions, ranks, whatever.

So it's trivial to do the traditional grey word bearers and make up whatever backstory you desire. These are my men of the 'Unmoving Belief' who value tradition and faith beyond all else for honor is only built upon unshakeable foundations of granite or it is worth nothing - they have retained their grey color for they are not betrayers, it was the Emperor who betrayed them by keeping secrets and making backdoor deals with the Dark Gods, betraying his own faithful armies, etc. whatever thing strikes your fancy.
>>
>>97542424
I'd buy a bunch of black sand, spread them on the base with pva glue, and call it a day, because the whole point is the word bearers were fully unified and repeatedly purged of all unbelievers before the heresy even started. Being able to play loyalist word bearers at all is a gay ass invention of 2nd edition made to satisfy retarded contrarians like you. Don't play the pure evil faction if you don't want to be pure evil.
>>
>>97542405
I really am of the headcanon marine armour has an electrochromatic upper layer and thus changes color depending on the electric charge running through it. That would explain so many things:
>AL decloak effect is them using enemy SVG hue data. They themselves are recorded wearing indigo, viridian, azure and bronze because they change the color scheme data between deployments
>The layer is conductive, allowing NL to course and depict lightning across their surface
>Death Guard don't mantain the upper color layer because they are so often deployed to caustic environments that erode it, so their armour is the color of denaturalized ceramite: Bone White
>Iron Warriors also use minimal color but they aren't deployed to acid environs and thus their armour is the color of unpainted ceramite: the gleaming grey of the early crusade legions
Either that or Alpha Legion goes around with a bunch of paint, and Word Bearers bought twelve hundred thousand gallons of red paint on a whim
>>
>>97542459
I just wanted to make a fag joke chill
>>
>>97542424
if you mean actual loyalist WB, yeah, that's pretty gaylord. Loyalist-traitors is a gay invention of the game. They're fine for a kill team of 20-30 men, but they were never appropriate for an army game.

>>97542462
nah, mechanicum sames they send steel colored ceramite power armor suits to marines who have to paint and decorate after receiving.

Paint is plentiful and easy to manufacture basically anywhere in the universe. You can think of a Mk IV suit as a $100,000,000 jet fighter. They're not gonna be like "uhoh we can't afford to spend $500 on a paintjob, gotta run it naked"

Airplanes used to not be painted, as paint could add up to 1000 pounds of weight, and aluminum already creates a stable patina of oxide preventing further corrosion.
It wasn't until the adoption of lightweight unleaded paint and the need to protect UV-sensitive composite material fuselages that airplanes were painted again
>>
>>97542544
that was only a temporary gimmick of USA, everyone else painted their planes and US painted their planes before and after their gimmick span trying to go with the 'naked look'
>>
>>97542544
also, weight is not what gives an airplane it's top speed, that's aerodynamic drag, which an unpainted plane had worse than a painted one. Painting would often fill in cracks, gaps, smooth out rivets/welds any other things that caught air.
Any actual performance benefits of the 'naked look' are essentially within margin of error.

I hear it's a thousand pounds less of mass you need to elevate 35000 ft up. It's more about the cost of unspent fuel than the cost of unapplied paint

Gimme the chameleon tanks x.x

>also, weight is not what gives an airplane it's top speed
Yes, it only affects handling, structural wear, acceleration, climb, fuel consumption...
All of which add up over thousands of machines, that fly thousands of hours, that need to be maintained, that need to have logistics attached to them...
You're retarded.

Nigga, tanks nowadays are not being repainted when sold to other countries unless they have to, because of how much CARC paints cost.

looked it up for airliners, the cost savings is even substantially less than "didnt have to buy paint" because a metal airplane has to pay to have the whole body polished again several times a year, unlike painted planes which need 10x less maintenance.

and the extra drag from unpainted vehicles often wasted more fuel than painting them, most of a plane's travel is the horizontal cruise and drag costs, not the vertical climb component.

No, it was merely someone in charge of the WW2 US air force had some gut feeling that "lighter plane is better" and so US planes temporarily ran without paint. If it was true that you'd save fuel by not painting planes, then painting planes would not have stayed the norm all around the world and been re-adopted by US immediately after WW2 and we're still painting the majority of all commercial and military airplanes today. We care more about fuel savings now than we ever did back then.

No space marine legion is going to go unpainted to try to save a common almost entirely worthless thing like paint. They'd skip the paint on imperial army tanks long before they'd ever short the astartes.

Modern planets use all mannet of composite materials. Don't know how you even polish that.

Commercial airplanes are painted the skin now has composite materials, which unlike aluminum do need protection from sunlight. Paint was optional before, NECESSARY nowadays.
And they paint it white. Why? Monetary concerns? Cooler interiors, easier maintenance, resale factor. Money money money.

Marines don't NEED to paint their armour, thus, their color is a choice. But you can choose different things from time to time, even if ultramarine blue looks cute on you.
The marines you see are the ones they want you to see! They want to capture your attention while their brothers strike unopposed elsewhere

Well you already know that they replaced the excellent fun casual small game size system from 1.0 with the retarded "you WILL collect a 3K army" RP system in 2.0. Yeah it got worse. They dropped RP and set an explicit 1500pts mandate for all armies, you must deploy one unit but can put the entire rest of your army in Reserves if you want using the standard 3.0 Reserves rules, and removed basically all restrictions on what you can take except No Flyers.

Which of course introduces the problem of someone just shitting out Leviathans or something, so they tried to address that problem by requiring you to divide the board up into 12" squares and assign each a value of "Confined Space" according to the Mission map, and you then have to keep track of that the whole game because every time a unit with Bulky(X) moves into a new square you have to make sure the value of Bulky is lower than the value of Confined Space or it won't fit and can't go that way. All objectives sit on a a corner where zones intersect, all missions have layouts of objectives and Confined Space that are exact mirrors in all directions.

Typical lame boring modern GW "T-Sport" game design basically.

Alright I just got into HH and I've started scanning the core rulebook because I feel so sorry for you all using that horrible photo-to-pdf scan that's the only thing you've got. Its definitely not perfect my work but its miles better than the one in the OP. I'm using a fairly cheap scanner so theres some unusual rainbow colours appearing in the colour sections of the book but at least the test is mostly clear. I've done the first 50 pages and I've been manually cropping each page but the shitty software the scanner comes with doesn't really let me set a specific size for cropping that I can reuse.
Any advice from anyone?

I tried adding a filebin link to the pdf of the first 50 pages but 4chan keeps telling me to reformat as its spam, any way to post a link and not get hit by the filter? I will be adding bookmarks and also hyperlinks in the index/contents page.

How would people feel about someone running a Rogal Dorn Heavy Tank as a Malcador Heavy Tank in an Imperialis Militia army? What if it's run alongside a second Malcador that's actually a Malcador?
>>

Can't you save the scanned pages as separate images, then crop them with different software after? Even something as simple as Paint can be used to crop.

It's not the same size/footprint, so that won't work.
