he's beginning to lose it, leave him be anon.

Got a couple questions about kitting up my dudes, some fluff, some gameplay. But what's the best stuff for vanguard? Got it to p4l25 a week or so ago and despite my best attempts at using it the regular ass bolt carbine feels like trying to gun down heads with an airsoft gun whereas the occulus feels fantastic with it having laser accuracy on the scope but every source I've seen shits on the occulus despite it having that sweet sweet 2x headshot multiplier. The wrapped instigator feels like a much better version of the regular bolt carbine so I just use that in its place with a melta rifle build as the third slot but I haven't been playing that long to know what's actually good and what just feels like it is.

Second, do Blood Angel Incursors paint the helmet yellow since they're technically assault or do they just go with red and larp assault? Trying to source accurate heraldry info has been fun but also bullshit because I'm working off of 1d6chan and goonhammer and I don't have nearly enough time or books to figure out what's real or not.

I'll post dudes later once/if I get this right.

>>557186149
>But what's the best stuff for vanguard?
Full auto ammo version bolt carbine (Max out on headshot damage + reload upon gunstrike)
Heroic instigator (same with the bolt carbine)
Ammo version Melta rifle (straightforward and pick the damage increase and range increase over rate of fire ones)

Always equip the Extremis heal save for modifiers like this week's hard weekly where contested healing is disabled; always equip the autoexecute Grappling Hook perk at 33% enemy health for free armour
For prestige perks pick the increased damage at <10m, Fortitude, Launch Restoration and the last one could be getting armour upon 7 quick kills or the do not lose control from Heavy hits upon Gunstrike; every other skill is trash

Chainsword and Power axe are both great

>>557186149
I use Tip of the Spear for Vanguard so if I grapple in on a warrior with a devourer, I can just dump headshots on it with the occulus/wrapped instigator and remove it from the equation. The problem is when there's multiple in close proximity.
I guess it comes down to
>I'm using a block weapon and don't like how slow it is to deal with mobs before adrenaline surge
Then you could afford to go melta gun unless you're playing nids and feel like you need to contribute to thrope killing.

There are two real ways to build vanguard; Zone of Impact + Tactical Prowess with extremis execute healing (top build) or a fast cooldown single target divekick (bottom build). Green arrows indicate flex options, pick the one that works the best for you. The ones I have actively selected are the ones I prefer.

Zone of impact and tactical prowess can sometimes be really hard to set up with other players and is even harder if they are good, which is why I mostly run the bottom build.

I'll post weapons next.

>bolt carbine
It works great if you get into the grapnel -> magdump into head -> execute loop. Occulus works fine if you're not constantly in melee range
As for the helmet color just cross reference actual minis and look up (chapter) heraldry, 1d4chan has been shit for years
>Tactical
Bolters would make him Battleline which would give him a Red helmet, Plasma/Flamer/Melta make him Fire Support which would give him a Blue helmet
>Vanguard
Reivers and Incursors get Yellow helmets
>Assault
Technically a "Jump pack intercessor" and as such gets a Yellow helmet
>Bulwark
Technically a Bladeguard Veteran and as such gets a Gold helmet
>Sniper
>Heavy
Both get a blue helmet due to being Fire Support

Forgot to mention prestige perks are the same on any build.

For weapons in image;
Heroic Instigator
Carbine
Occulus
Melta

Heroic instigator is probably his best weapon because it can both do damage and set up for zone of impact pretty easily.
Normal carbine is still good for chaos because they have tiny heads that the instigator has trouble hitting because of its spread. Regular carbine also has really strong CHP regen. Ammo marksman carbine is getting a buff in the next patch so it might not be a bad pick in competition with heroic instigator.
Occulus fell off because its bad ammo economy and mediocre damage, still usable for setting up zone of impact.
I find melta to be his least useful weapon due to its low damage and bad ammo economy. Paradoxically its probably his best weapon in siege because of its infinite cleave. I don't really use it at all.

For secondaries your only real option is heavy bolt pistol, ammo variant, full top path and one ammo perk. Normal bolt pistol isnt bad now but heavy bolt pistol has cleave which is typically more useful. Inferno pistol is getting a buff to its gunstrike damage next patch that makes it not bad, but probably not worth taking over HBP. And neovolkite pistol is just terrible.

Melee next.

>>557189706
Block Chainsword
Block Axe

Axe is better, a single riposte will often incap a majoris. With two block charges you will incap every extremis in one hit with some follow up damage. Only downside is its normal combo damage blows.
Another thing to note is all balanced weapons are getting a pretty big damage buff in the next patch so they might be worth using over block.

techmarine and vanguard should get auxilary reload as prestigeperk & it should trigger on kill instead of execute/"melee kill"

>>557188740
>>557188740
>Bolters and flamers make Tac Battleline
Shit. I got him looking like an Assault Intercessor since I lean into the chainsword a lot but that's an easy fix.
>Vanguard Reiver+Incursor is yellow, Infiltrator presumably red
Alright so that's more or less correct but given I use the execute loop build I'll probably just swap to the Infiltrator drip and go from there.
>Heavy is blue
Makes sense.
Got my Assault as a dripped up Assault Intercessor Pfist Sergeant but that one's easy. I appreciate the insight.

>>557187325
>>557189706
>>557189706
Appreciate the insight. I'll have to take a longer look at these builds once I get home. But my current setups are...
Headshot Occulus(The ammo econ IS shit but the ttk/execute on Rubrics is very funny so I have a soft spot for it), Inferno Pistol, Block Chainsword.
Heroic Instigator, HHPB, Balance Axe for giga gunstrikes(Yes the ammo economy is shit here too.)
And then Melta, Volkite, Block Knife. The Volkite feels like a boss killer but the better I get the better adrenalone surge punishes get for that. Might change this to a regular bolt carbine build if I can stomach the ammo version's spread.
Again, I'll post my setups and compare once I stop waging but using bolt weapons without headshot damage just feels like pissing into the wind.

I got a soft spot for meltas and the inferno pistol because they seem to have fantastic CHP recovery and the BA drip is fun.

Either way, I'll take a longer look once I'm out. Appreciate the time and insight anon.

>>557195078
No problem. If you have any questions just ask. I probably missed something.

>>557189706
i absolutely hate how vanguard plays right now.
the execute chain build is "well rounded", a well oiled machine in theory, but you get fucked over so hard by having teammates that "steal" executions
the kill-majoris-with-ranged-weapon-and-then-Q build is asinine and strictly works against the 5% heal on majorisexecute perk you pick with it because you dont pick the reset. its a weird mishmash of gimmicks. it works, but it feels like absolute ass.

>>557198001
I personally dislike the minimum distance required for grapple

>>557199194
and the wonky targeting. it happens so often that i completely change target mid activation, zooming across the stage instead of executing the extremis i was initially aiming at.

>>557200348
Oh, and there will be no new decals associated with the pack.

>>557197920
I guess, what's the theory behind the base Bolt Carbine? I see that it has the marksman and brrrt versions under the same weapon but I just have a hard time finding the niche for them. The Ammo full auto one I end up spraying half the mag into a single majoris, get ganked by another one beside me and end up locked in melee more often than not, and the marksman ones seem to have even worse ammo than the occulus with worse accuracy just because the scope makes the occulus laser accurate and for whatever reason the marksman ones just have normal zoom.

Thoughts on Red Corsairs getting their own codex?

>>557200348
The armour needs more etching I feel. Also it's kind of odd to see them as Primaris when... actually hang on how *did* all the 'unknown founding' chapters get allocated Primaris lads? Did they just draw numbers out of a hat?

>>557200781
It will be nice to get some Space Marine renegades, though I suppose you could have just done that with a vanilla codex.

>>557199706
>in the fraction of a second I back away to grapnle execute, my teammates take it as a sign to just headshot the majoris enemy or take the kill themselves.

>>557200517
Not him, but the Bolt Carbine is built around getting up close, aiming, then dumping enough of the magazine to get an execute. A while back it got a stat adjustment to where it gets 50% extra damage if you're within 10m or so, and on Sniper it's perfect for endlessly chaining perks that activate on headshot/headshot kill.

>>557200517
The automatic ammo variant you get the reduce spread perks, all the headshot perks, and fire from the hip. Its a close range burst damage weapon. Its more DPS than basic melee combos. The marksman variant just sucks right now because the accuracy version has no ammo and the ammo version just doesn't do enough damage. This might change in the next patch though.

>>557200954
Almost everybody has primaris nowadays. The in-universe explanation for most of the non-main-character chapters is that they were contacted by a torchbearer fleet, which were special envoys sent out to chapters that operated in contested space and brought primaris tech to them. In the case of the Space Sharks specifically though, got their primaris capability directly from the Mechanicus as part of a Grey Tithe.

>>557202727
Ah okay, I guess I missed that part. I've been reading the Carcharodons series of books and been really digging the whole 'semi-exiled to the far far reaches of space' vibe they have.

Couple questions
Why is the performance for this game so all over the place? I'm on a 5080 an 14700k and i was dipping into the 20s just walking around the barge and going into the armor menus

Also can the campaign be played co-op with me and a couple of my friends or is it only some like custom character campaign instead

>>557246645
ruskie optimization, update drivers and see if it fixes is best i can say
also i'm pretty sure the campaign is coop too, yes

>>557257257
You can only play strats for so long and the content gets stale pretty fast. Plust let's be honest, even then the majority of those couple thousand players are HC fans rather than game pass immigrants who probably turned on the game played a bit and logged off.

>>557246645
The battle-barge has very weird behavior and it occasionally tanks my performance too, but it happens sparingly and lasts a second or two at worst ( I'm running a 5090 and a 9800x3d). There are two things at play here the way I see it - drivers and the CPU. The latter you got covered, it's not bad, though I heard the game favors AMD a bit more. Though it's something to verify. The former are NVIDIA's Achilles' heel these days. Generally it *is* recommended to have the latest update but with my GPU I found 580.88 is the most stable.
I'd recommend you look up best drivers for your card, YT or some OC-ing forums are your safest bet.

80% of the 200k+ playerbase bought the deluxe edition and burned themselves in the first week
By week 2 there's a slight drop in players and it continued to hemorrhage until it stabilized to like 5k-10k players daily
Part of this was Saber's stupid and slow vatnik devs who failed to capitalize on the hype, even going as far into thinking their game will bomb

>>557186149
You're almost never far enough away to where having a scope actually matters, so full auto bolt carbine is king. Instigator and occulus are fine for enclosed terminus enemies like the hive tyrant, but there's no reason to use it over the bolt carbine for 90% of the mission. Melta rifle is good too, but only in missions where you have a dedicated range class for terminus enemies. Melta is for mobs of things, not single targets.

What would've been better is if they had made the mode exclusive to doling out new subset of currency (a retarded split in the playerbase btw) but make some leaderboards type of shit. Or just make the stratagems relegated to private lobbies only since too many underleveled people play it.
I stopped hoping that Saber will ever make that mode level-locked. But yeah, I'd much rather see a robust expansion of Siege than this let's-keep-our-MAU-numbers-relatively-high mode.

So, I will say that the melee only Inferno run a week or so back was both one of the harder missions I've done and it required some solid co-ordination to pull off, especially if you got a Neorothrope spawn. However some of these weeklies strike me as particularly stupid pranks. This week's is either ball bustingly hard to do with a full stack or Chaos's ball buster gauntlet that you're forced to complete because the Bot won't let either of you die. I can't even say this week's was fun. It's just a miserable experience from the moment you get downed the first time to the end.

He's yet another proof that you don't need to be creative and you can make less than low effort content (i.e. reading other people's posts) to be somewhat popular.
To your question: absolute and hard strats should be level/prestige locked regardless of what Saber morons claim about paragons being optional.

>>557384723
In Absolute and Hard siege/stratagem they should fuck off

Absolute and Hard should have a max prestige level lock including a weapon filter that bars newly maxed players from running non-Relic weapons

Green highlight on class icon on the top right = everyone is good to go
Yellow highlight on class icon on the top right = Guy meets the level and prestige requirements but he's running a non-Relic weapon in either slot and should fuck off back to the armoury to change it
Red highlight on class icon on the top right = same class, low level, non-max prestige, no Relic weapon equipped

Normal stratagems? Don't care I'll carry it anyway.
Hard strats? I'm not good enough (yet) to solo carry them depending on the modifiers so they should be prestige 4 lvl 25 with relic tier weapons. There will be prestige 4/25 fully kitted who will suck anyway, everyone can have a bad day but it will definitely limit the lvl 1 assault who ground pounds only to die joining hard strats.

>playing a level 10 difficulty run to grind xp in some weapons I dont use

Is there a difficulty modifier that changes based on who joins the game?

>>557393362
no

>>557394132
yes

>>557393362
it depends
and it's actually a non-meme answer. the difficulty is dynamic and can be changed in response to player actions by the ai director

Wow today's stratagems suck ass.

>>557397731
decap and exfil are pretty ok. but i did them with capable randoms.

i´m really looking forward to the next patch. the balanced buff looks pretty juicy & the fencing(block) heroic knife on tactical will be great.
they also fixed the bug that charged attacks like powerwhirl and aftershock do not recover CHP, right?

New to the Thunder Hammer, what exactly is the advantage of block over finesse, all it does is stop my opponent for a second before they just throw another attack my way until I'm dead, with finesse I can at least gun strike them.

>>557400341
after you block two attacks in a row you get a good point to spend on an extra spicy attack with aoe stagger. With thammer I usually just do a light attack, then a charged one (aka known as FUCK YOU NOW MY TURN)
>before they just throw another attack
haha fuck how i wish that was actually true

>>557400781
I just get ganged up on and clobbered, I wish there was an actual test room for trying out wargear and perks.

>>557400923
I'm afraid that's because you swing around like a retard. If you stop for a second you will realize that the enemies* generally don't attack you until you start attacking them. It's especially excruciating with block weapons because you want them to attack you to get that damage bonus and they just keep circling around you.

* minoris and majoris

>>557401151
The trick is to shoot 1-2 times at them and it resets their aggression.

>>557401151
Okay I see. Though I'm still having trouble with swarms of smaller enemies.

>>557400341
thunder hammer is (on live) best with block, by far. when the next patch hits there is a argument to be made for balanced (2x groundslam incaps all majoris with the buff to balance stats + the speed it has over block makes it easier to pull off)
the 2 things that are great about the thammer:
its the best groundpound weapon for assault, because it has near infinite cleave and a larger radius. the base damage template of groundpound is the same for all melee weapons, but it gets increased by %meleedamage. this makes for example powersword have the most damage on singletargets because it has tons of %increased damage. the hammer overall does way more damage because it simply hits everything, so its also really easy to refill groundpound charges on it. adrenaline surge from block also applies to groundpound, making it possible to nuke extremis like zoans out of the air if they dont hover way above you.
the other big draw is the aftershock. its a charged attack so its completely unaffected by the weapons speed (this is also a reason why block = good and fencing = trash)
if you have adrenaline surge stacks from your blockhammer they will apply their damagebuff for the entire duration of the aftershock, even the second hit. so if you are surrounded your panic action usually boils down to blocking 2 attacks and then doing a uncharged aftershock for respectable aoe damage and more importantly space. you charge it if you have the time for it.
there is rarely an opening for doublegroundpond, but its also very powerfull.
afaik running attack -> groundpound wont benefit from adrenaline surge stacks. the duration will run out before the groundpound hits, so aftershock is usually your only option to use adrenaline surge stacks.
you can´t dodge out of aftershock, you will need to learn blockcanceling out of aftershock so you can dodge. if you don´t do this you WILL eat sniper shots and die.

>>557405023
and another tip: try to keep 1 groundpound charge up for emergencies, so you can retreat in the air and quickly slam into the biggest meatpile to regain CHP after you lost a chunk.
right now the hammer is terrible for contesting HP, because its slow and aftershock does not restore ANY CHP. this is a bug, it even has a perk that says that CHP gained with aftershock gets increased by 100%. the next patch hopefully will fix this.

>>557406090
If it's down in substantial, why does it matter you have useless teammates? So as long as your melee weapon is maxed then it shouldn't be too much of a big deal having useless teammates.

>All Brothers are to upload a FULL SCREENSHOT of their Dude and post their CHAPTER.

Good day and/or evening, Brothers! It has been some time since the last update, but I am glad I can finally present you with the latest Dude Wall and what is new in this version:
- All submissions have been added to both versions of the Wall (that includes the following Dudes: IH#10, Lamenter #11, Exorcist and Storm Wardens);
- Angels of Vengeance Dude has been previously incorrectly assigned to Blood Angels successors, but this has been corrected and he is back with his Brothers;
- Lamenter Dude #9 (Brother Joshua) has been given a name banner that was previously missing;
- Space Wolves' chapter frame has been updated.

This update took longer than I planned, my apologies Brothers. But it's fantastic I could bring it to you this week and with some graphic updates as well. It seems almost all First Founding have been refreshed, all but Imperial Fists. I'll give them another go later on. Next up are successors and Unknown Founding chapters - there's a lot to look forward to.

In the meantime, thank you for all your submissions and should you find yourself having a Dude you'd like to post, don't hesitate.
Enjoy the latest iteration of the Dude Wall, Brothers!

Signing off,
Wall Anon

>Am I supposed to max out all my other equipment before prestige?
It would very smart of you to do so because weapon levels remain as they are while your perks get reset when you prestige. Having maxed out weapons make subsequent runs nearly trivial.

>>557443934
Yes always run prestige
To not waste your time grinding even more just Google which perks to choose, only the Bulwark will make you choose since it has a lot of good ones and the rest are easy straightforward picks
Once you max prestige just hop on normal siege mode and level up your guns in there and quit on wave 5, rinse and repeat

Saber completely botched the colors. I posted my dude last thread, so here he is again to give you an idea. IMO Baal Red from the Blood Angels DLC is the most accurate shade for their primary color, then it's your preferred gold for the aquila (I use Valdor Gold), otherwise they follow the Codex to a T. Shoulder trim relates to company, squad and combat role on the right shoulder, white helmets for veterans etc.

It's a shame there's no real occult looking scribbles I can plaster on the knees to truly finish the look off.

There's a bit of a color mismatch between official art and the Codex, but I definitely prefer the darker reds people use in their artwork. I have no idea why Saber made them peach orange, maybe it's the fucked up shoulder shade here? Because the astartes examples are blatantly the same shade of red as the Blood Ravens. All wikis and resources also state they're red.

Or will be muted. Whoever's idea it was to make playstation controllers fully functioning audio suites has my eternal ire because every time I plug in my dualsense for anything I have to deactivate it as a speaker and mic or my sound shits itself and anyone on an actual console has a random chance to blast hotmic'd garbage in your ears when you join the lobby.

It's quite tragic that Americans don't know about tanning, no other race on this planet seems to have the same issue.

Nice, I love the chapters that live on the Imperium's periphery such as the Space Sharks.

There’s a ton they could do with their lore, with the Shariax, the prophecy with the Living Chalice, but the problem is is that the whole “breeding worlds” thing is all literally r*dditors think about now, and I don’t think modern GW would touch them with a 20 foot stick

Can't take this waiting. Cyberstan got boring fast in HD2.

Hopefully they thought long and hard about the Techmarine's perks or some shit.

It's weird how they didnt replace the techies equipment slot with carryable tarantula turrets, the whole "you find them randomly on the map" just sounds like a recipe for them being useless 99% of the time

>>557569196
I’m still having fun just driving the tank on different fronts
A strategic opportunity just opened up against the Squids and I’m enjoying blasting apart Harvesters with the main gun

>>557570658
Techmarines don't carry Tarantula turrets, they either a) assemble them or b) call them in via drop pod; the last one is impossible for inept vatnik developers

What Saber will do and probably already did was make Tarantula turrets tuned for lower difficulty where they'll be really strong but completely useless against a Ruthless and Absolute wave/Terminus spawn; they won't exist in siege mode and PvP too

They will shuffle their feet in a couple of updates buffing the bolters and will eventually settle for the turret to be invulnerable but only present for like an entire minute where it will shoot Minoris instead of the big enemies

>>557573908
what are you talking about, people are saying how turrets solo terminus spawns

>>557580138
I’ve yet to see any footage of these claims

Sadly warhammer is a reddit franchise Anon with GW steadily getting worse just like niggards of the coast. Enjoy your femstodes I guess.

>>557588637
There's a few videos but they only show static Terminus bosses losing 3/4 of their health but these turrets do get destroyed in higher difficulty initiating a small Melta bomb blast or go offline when there are no more enemies.

New type of medstim that gives you a heal over time effect instead for 100% of your HP meaning you can fully clear a wound if you dont take damage while it's active

>>557629457
aaah yes thank you, it's been so long since the previous saber announcement I already forgot they were a thing

They also buffed the wrath reliquary to give a 35% damage boost instead of 25%

>>557629057
Yeah, cool. I already played as Techie during PTS. I'm in no rush to jump into another series of solo sessions. When I feel like it I'll just ask one of my friends to boost me.

At least they acknowledged the Techmarine's survivability issue and sentry placements being inconsistent as shit.

Wonder if they'll add any decent individual armor pieces with the update.

>>557644270
i was not on the pts. is there a difference between the heroic heavy bolter grenade launcher and the regular bolter grenade launcher in terms of the grenade part?

>>557644572
I wasn't on PTS either but I don't think the HBR with the grenade launcher attachment even had the correct ID for its heroic perk.
So AFAIK it was literally just an HBR with a grenade launcher bit.

It had 11 grenades, I believe. Not sure if that was affected by any perks I was running (it was on tactical and I think I had the ammo increase prestige perk), but I believe that's more than the standard grenade launcher.
No idea if damage is different.

>69 kills

fucking kek, never have I seen a bigger rape here. It was 4 vs 4 and we fought long for a first objective. But once enemy team got helbrute it felt like it was impossible to kill him. I even started making ambushes and dropping melta onto him from above and it did nothing seemingly.

I got 9 kills for armor progression anyway, that's the only thing that matters
