What do you guys think is the best CCW to give a Legion Champion? I'm putting together a weird loyalist Night Lords list and the Nostraman Chainglaive seems ideal for its sometimes-AP2 powers and the fact that it still hits at initiative. Figuring I'll give him a Volkite Serpenta and that. Thoughts?

Figuring I'll give him a Volkite Serpenta and that. Thoughts? If I were playing Night Lords? Chainglaive all the way. Other than that, a single serpenta won't do a whole lot and I typically wouldn't bother upgrading a commander's pistol. A combi-weapon if I have the points and the use for one, but that's about it.

DJ Dizzy posted:Would it be kosher if I were to use the 40k sanguinary guard models as assault sergeants in my BA army? They were around and wore the same gold colored armour that they wear in 40k to even include the wrist mounted bolters and Mk4 Jump packs they have. Using them as sergeants is up to you, but from an actual fluff standpoint they are kind of their own thing outside of the normal command structure. At the end of the day they are your toys so play with them however you want. Either way it should be interesting to see how FW ends up modeling them for 30k.

Goons, I have a line on a second full Calth set for $100. Should I get it? I'm leaning towards yes. Help.

How many marines do you already own? Is the answer is 'less than three full x20 man tactical squads' then you know what you must do.

So far I have one Calth set with the 30 marines built as 20 tacticals and 10 support guys. I also have an extra dreadnought converted to be a dual kheres mortis-contemptor and five more terminators I got off of ebay. If I need to, I can sell the dreadnought and terminators from this new set. I'll do it.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have a plastic Cataphractii helmet that they aren't using? My wife was cleaning up my workspace and lost one edit: nvm, found it! Sulecrist fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Mar 10, 2016 |

Unsurprisingly a legion banehammer with some tyrants shooting missiles out the back trainwrecks an infiltrating alpha legion infantry list. People should really listen when you tell them a large part of your list idea before they make their list to play, a single sicaran venator does not constitute enough AT.

Now that vindicators are in squadrons the laser vindicator looks like a tasty alternative to rapiers. Too bad it's in the crowded heavy support slot.Hencoe posted:Unsurprisingly a legion banehammer with some tyrants shooting missiles out the back trainwrecks an infiltrating alpha legion infantry list.

In our league we gave the thing armourbane so it can pack las sponsons and use the main cannon to even deadlier effect. We haven't gotten to the point of LOWs, but so far Hixson has not been impressed with his venator despite the buff. TTerrible posted:My five calth tactical squads have been posted by the eBay seller.

Seems like the main (only) purpose of the Sicaran Venator is to shut down LOWs without having one of your own. E.g. when someone tries to ram a Typhon down your throat at 2k points, that's where the venator might shine. Alternatively you grab a couple of grav rapiers/grav fist contemptors and you go to town on all vehicles.

Oh yeah, I run a pair of grav fist contemptors and they eat Spartans for lunch, doing that 5th HP isn't THAT hard to do. My biggest issue with the venator is that it's ordinance, so sponsons are kind of wasted on it. Hencoe fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Mar 10, 2016 |

If FW decides to make their own sanguinary guards, I will keep using them as sergeants, if FW doesn't, I won't.

I ended up with ten, so I made a five-man squad of combi meltas with a chainfist in it and a five-man lightning claw squad I'm feeling some buyer's remorse for since they introduced a type of Terminator armor that can sweeping advance. Calth sets are a bit limited!

Seems like there's such a market for assault cannons from blood angel players that there is a recaster who specializes exclusively in them. I don't know what to think.

I've been genuinely considering getting the miniguns from Anvil Industries to tide me over. The new FW cannons look fantastic but it's going to be who knows how long before they're out. What you should be thinking is "loving Blood Angels", probably.

Calth sets are a bit limited! The problem with cataphractii in general is that they need a transport. Badly. I'm kind of leaning towards a caestus assault ram somewhere down the line. I've also converted the praetor from Calth to be a primus medicae. I feel like that was a good decision. I'd still like some plastic tartaros dudes though. Please note: All of this is conjecture based on no actual 30k experience. I am very likely extremely ignorant and talking out of my rear end while making poor decisions.

If it's the latter, clicking "Master of the Legion" under any applicable Master of the Legion-haver should give you a bunch of options to choose your RoW. To switch, just select MotL again and choose.
