Anybody here have a Taurox and a Rhino? I'm wondering how large the rear access hatch of the Taurox is compared to a rhino side door.

For some reason most of the Tau players I've gone up against really skimp on the Devilfish transports, which usually results in me focusing on their infantry and whittle down their board control.

Same in my meta. They all try to gun line and wonder what's going wrong when my dudes have complete board control.

also lol three ghostkeels in an optimized stealth cadre in a hunter contingent are BS5 or 6 with Ignores Cover in shooting phase (BS3, +1 from Fire Team, +1 from The Wall of Mirrors, +1 from Coordinated Firepower) good job, GW

Milotic posted:Helcult is amazing as non apoc CSM formations go. 70 fearless cultists with mark of Khorne and 2 ccws. That is so much fun. Makes for an awesome visual as a horde descends over the enemy. I just love chucking dice. And if they have hatred it's even more dice. It's not broken though since they're easy to kill. Most formations are actually garbage. No one wants to actually pay for 70 marked cultists. If you wanted a blob of fearless cultists you go Typhus and make zombies. Then you don't have to buy marks or a heap of garbage that is a helbrute. Hell, you probably save points and wind up with FNP and a pretty solid termi lord. Granted using that termi lord is impossible because CSM doesn't have delivery options that are worth a poo poo. fryorama posted:Just bought the new SM book. Jesus Christ the loving Black Templars look like they're brutal. That's a weird way to say White Scars. WhiskeyJuvenile posted:god drat does tau run into a toys over boys problem really quickly Buy suits and guns for said suits. WhiskeyJuvenile posted:also lol three ghostkeels in an optimized stealth cadre in a hunter contingent are BS5 or 6 with Ignores Cover in shooting phase (BS3, +1 from Fire Team, +1 from The Wall of Mirrors, +1 from Coordinated Firepower) Why? You have to buy terrible stealth suits, have positioning restrictions and have three MCs in a unit. It doesn't work for 'nids and it doesn't work for Tau.

Eh Stealth Suits aren't bad, just not optimal. They're an acceptable tax for the OSC.

Yeah I painted up a 3-Helbrute formation for the novelty of it, but it's not great because it's still 3 subpar units. The Termi Lord options with IA13 border on passable.

There's very little downside to the 3-man Ghostkeel formation. Splitfire is 5 points, you get 3 invisibility uses and they're drat solid in melee.

DJ Dizzy posted:Are there any decent alternate apothecary bits? Talos arms pinned to a backpack. The Mechanicus riflemen backpacks have some decent flat bits to attach them to. Also, there's a chainsword in the Cadian Command box that looks like it would work as some sort of tactical scalpel thing for an Apothecary.

Does anyone have the Forge World Avatars? Do you know how big they are vs a Contemptor? Planning a conversion with the weapons.

Any one have any advice on building a display board with a roman theme to match my bases? Also, looking to get some company banners, is there anything better than the one that comes with the Command Squad kit? I ended up snagging the Ultramarine Transfer sheet and it has all sorts of neat poo poo to decorate my boys with, I don't know what it is but I am having an infinitely easier time applying transfer with the new sheets than I did with the previous...

Strike Force Ultra and Battle Demi Company Box sets, plus primed 2x Predator, 2x Rhino/razorback, Stormraven, and StormTalon all waiting to be painted, but a squad of Suzerain Invictus and Capt Sicarious are in line before them.

In 1,850 points, how hard to kill are two Wraithknights? How would you approach an army like that?
