Last night was also Chaplain Skully's debut! Him and his squad collected more than 20 skulls, so he's pretty happy.

Those look fantastic for heavy bolters or lasers. I kinda want the solar auxillia quad mortars though.

Why am I seriously thinking about this dark compliance list Can't decide if I want to go with a fire support squad behind an aegis with a medic, or a third leman russ. Mainly considering the fire support because I already have a bunch of heavy weapon teams left over. It'd be so easy, the whole thing is plastic other than the command squad, spartan, and deredeo. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Why do baneblades seem so overcosted? It's 635 points to get a BS3 baneblade with sponsons, vs 540 for a BS4 fellblade with sponsons which has 3 more hull points. The gun is really good, but for 625 you get the Glaive which is going to kill way more poo poo.

BULBASAUR posted:Have you considered 'friendmaker' aka the big brother to uncle perts Typhon? Nah, this is for a pure militia list. Basically the same dudes from my theoretical dark compliance, but with no marines and more tanks. I'm considering either a baneblade or a stormlord as the lord of war for it, stormlord full of ogryns. Two macharius vanquishers could also be fun but for those points and dollar cost I may as well get a warhound. The stormlord and baneblade are relatively cheap plastic. Something like this: Force commander with stuff, alchem jackers, survivors of a dark age, planetary governor Like before, 3 medics spread out between some foot slogging grenadier squads and a fire support squad, this time with 10 AP2 missile launchers because of the warlord trait Adding a 10 man grenadier squad in a land raider proteus with 3 TL lascannons A full 10 ogryns piled into a stormlord. 7 with power axes means 42 S6 power axe swings when charging. 3 leman russes 2 rapier laser destroyers And an aegis with a quad gun. Don't know if I can fit all of the missile launchers and the rapier behind it, but I can try to fit most of them. The medic can man the quad gun. I'm interested in seeing how AP modifiers go in the next edition, because it might be worth it after that to give them power mauls to go up to S7 and glance dreads. To provide a more target-rich environment as a distraction for the stormlord, I could drop one of the 20 man grenadier squads and a few other things here and there to add a malcador. So it'd be force commander, ogryns, drop the medics, drop 1 of the grenadier blocks, drop 1 missile launcher team, drop a little bit of wargear, to add a malcador with a hull demolisher cannon, flare shield, siege armor, and ceramite. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Apr 1, 2017 |

If it's of any interest Humble Bundle has a bunch of the Horus Heresy novels in their book bundle - https://www.humblebundle.com/books/horus-heresy-warhammer-book-bundle - also includes coupons for some of the games on Steam.

Are there any 40mm base size robots that would work for my militia instead of ogryns? I think those fit with my dark age survivors better than ogryns do. I still want it to be fairly WYSIWYG though, with power weapons and shields.

Looks like their robots all have gun arms. Would be hard to turn them into melee I think. Edit: Looks like I could give them power loader claws as CCWs, but I do definitely want to have a way to get big boarding shields or axes on some of them. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Apr 2, 2017 |

Speaking of Typhons, I'm messing around with my Death Guard mans today (why have just 1 painted Legion when you could have multiple unpainted ones!) and was thinking about running some Terminator spam with Crysos Morturg giving Infiltrate to some big nasty squads. Since everyone in here "plays" Death Guard and owns multiple Typhons; any advice on the Death Guard front? I already have a bunch of painted 40k Death Guard stuff, including a bunch of Nurgly stuff and zombies, so my eventual goal was to expand out into a DG + Cult Horde + Nurgle Daemons army, that could be mixed and matched at will.

Kinda want to try castellax out with a praevian because T8 vs shooting castellax sounds funny. Was thinking of something like this for a 2500 point list. Taking the meltas because it's a little light on ranged AT, and the castellaxes seem like they'll do fine as anti-meq shooting. Might run into some tanks that don't have armored ceramite, and if I don't at least meltas will pop a terminator. 2500 points, Head of the Gorgon HQ: Autek Mor, Cyber-familiar 4 man Cataphractii command squad, 3 with chainfists, standard bearer with power sword Land raider phobos with armored ceramite Legion praevian with bolter, refractor field, artificer armor, cyber-familiar 5 castellaxes with enhanced targeters. Bolters and shock chargers, 3 have maulers and 2 have darkfire cannons, legiones astartes Elite: 2 quad guns with shatter shells 9 marksman veterans in a multimelta rhino. 3 combi-meltas, sgt has combi-melta and artificer armor. They'll get preferred enemy infantry from autek. Troops: 2 tac squads in multimelta rhinos. Sgts have artificer armor and combi meltas. Heavy support: Vindicator Sicaran Venator

When taking generic superheavy tanks for space marines, do you take the Escalation version or the Crusade Imperialis version? As an example, the escalation stormlord is cheaper, the crusade imperalis one has heavy bolters instead of stubbers, and an explorator upgrade. It can have armored ceramite, too.
