Just started putting base colors down on another squad of Emperor's Children. All the previews for 8th have gotten me really excited for Slamming Ham (especially Tyranids). This has definitely revitalized the local 40k scene, so I hope to convert more people to the true path of 30k. I believe in you ForgeWorld!

It won't be that bad, they'll hit on 4s instead of the 3s that stuff like force weapons will hit at, and will still have a fairly low volume of attacks. I don't believe you get extra attacks for charging anymore, I think it was mentioned on their facebook. So like, against a boxnaught you're swinging 10 times, hitting 5 times, wounding 2.5 times, and it gets a 6+ save. You'll still wound T4 guys on a 2+, but the new wound rolls means T5 and 6 are wounded on a 3+ now. Against single wound targets being swung at by a power fist isn't much worse than being swung at by a power sword. It has a definite edge vs multiwound models but the lower accuracy is a big enough deal that there's room for lightning claws to still win out against lower toughness targets through accuracy, rending, and volume of attacks. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 00:44 on May 23, 2017 |

To be fair though, they SHOULD be a big problem; they're the most elite infantry in one of the most elite factions in the fluff. It's about time vanilla Terminators had their time in the sun. I mean, when was the last time you saw a vanilla Terminator squad in game? I've seen less vanilla Terminators than I've seen Tyranid Warriors. Edit: thought I was in the 40k thread. Whatever.

I'd probably just take vets with two acid bolters instead. Speaking of which, I don't know if your vets need meltaguns if you get melta on all of your rhinos, give them acid bolters instead. Finally, whatever the gently caress format you copied and pasted out of is terrible.

It's not like you really need the capacity and you'll save a good chunk of points. This will let you slap multi-meltas on your tactical squads' rhinos and you could even nab some speeders or something. You have enough tanks for one more non-tank unit and your lack of dreadnoughts is disheartening. Ok, cutting termies and Spartan, putting in foot leviathan and another squad of vets in a melta rhino.

Second match against Salamanders, quick notes: - Marksmen Vets are so absurdly good it's not funny, especially with heavy bolters. - He got real salty when he realized that losing a Sweeping Advance roll in 30k meant that his entire Tac + Apothecary blob got wiped out. I tried not to gloat but I'm only human. - Legion Medusa, I love you, let's run away to Olympia together. - War of Lies, man. Fuckin' War of Lies. You think you've got this sewn up and the variable score objectives gently caress you bad.

With war of lies I feel you gotta focus either heavy on the primary objectives or heavy on the secondary objectives. It's when you have 1 VP and one random objective on the last turn that things get really hairy.

Well, and all the swords.JBP posted:Vehicle facing didn't even occur to me. What a poo poo rule change. I honestly think that removal of any sort of bonus for outmaneuvering your opponent is a dumb idea. I am especially not a fan of returning to old-style wound allocation where the owning player chooses. Positional wound allocation didn't slow the game down that much and rewarded smart flanking. Without that, it's just kind of  I mean, I played in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I know what it's like and it's stupid when every single unit always gets pared down to its sergeants and specialists or when a horde is removing models from the back.

Unifying the stat blocks is going to lead to a smoother game ultimately. Removing the facing is a reaction to chariot drifting.

It might be too much to add at this point, but I like my seeker squads to have more than a cupola combi-plas, and their proteus to have an augury web and multi melta. Makes them a major threat to anything on turn 1.
