You guys know that shitposting about shitposting is still shitposting, right?  So after my game playing as Tau yesterday, I realized that my Tau 2k list has very, very little anti-armor in it, relying almost entirely on a bunch of Crisis Fusion Blaster marauders and a single Ghostkeel tricked out with even more Fusion Blasters. Pathfinder Rail Rifles put in good work, but S6 wasn't cutting it against actual vehicles. I'm switching things around a bit to put in a Broadside with Heavy Rail Rifle and Plasma, and I swapped out of my grab-bag-o'-fun Commander to go for 2x Fusion/Missile Pod/Drone Controller for a little anti-armor punch. Short of ripping the entire list apart to fit like a Hammerhead, is there another way to get relatively inexpensive anti-armor in a Tau list? Each of these Crisis suits is 80+ points, and that's.... a lot, for three models that only have three wounds each.

Yes, when that is the exact same argument you have for any model with a high level of detail. Basically, it just comes off as pretentious as hell, or simply idiotic since overwrought armor and decoration is 40K as gently caress.

I'd like to withhold judgement until we get a proper view of the model, but I'm not a big fan of it from what we can see now. There are great details on it, don't get me wrong, but it suffers from being crowded with too much. It's busy as hell. I do like that it is recognizably a continuation of the 30k Mortarion and they didn't go for the usual Nurgle aesthetic of a fat man huffing his own jenkem. The wings are great too. Part of it may be the paint job; I really don't like the purple robe. I thought 40k Guilliman wasn't that great either. It had a lot of empty space with its hilariously wide stance and would have benefited from some of the standard Ultramarine pteruges. It also has a stupid amount of fine trim all over the place. His 30k model is just so much better. Mortarion's not my favorite 30k model, it's almost too plain. I also think the studio paint scheme did it no favors. However, it's become kind of a trend that GW's designers don't know when to stop. They were pretty restrained on the primaris range, but the Death Guard in general are much too busy for me.

There is heavily detailing something and there is detailing it to the point that its hard to work out what is going on. I know that the leaked Mortarion image isn't exactly high quality but it took me more more than a few seconds to work out where his goddamn head is and that is not good. New GW Sculpting checklist:
Just because the same complaint is made multiple times doesn't mean it is invalid, it means the same thing keeps happening.

Each of these Crisis suits is 80+ points, and that's.... a lot, for three models that only have three wounds each. The current anti armor list for Tau can be roughly summed up as 4xFB commander >>>> other FB mounting units > HRR Broadside > Hammerhead, the hammerhead only having one shot a turn makes it unreliable the HRR is slightly better on this front since it has two shots but they still average ~2 wounds a turn to a landraider. The only weapon with appreciable anti armor is the FB and the commander is far and away better then the other options, you have to double the cost of a commander for it to be comparable to crisis suits.

Are seeker missiles worth using? Keeping in mind that I currently have 20+ markerlights in play in that list and getting to five lights was non-trivial but also not hard. Mortal wounds on an effective 3+ rerolling 1s doesn't seem terrible for five points. The biggest limitation is that I can only fit like six without going whole hog on vehicles.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:Or waking up and being all "Wait what the gently caress have you idiots done to the Imperium?" and, instead of going full Jesus flipping tables, he just says "oh it's okay i'll make it better". I asked before how much of the Wikia article is fan fiction, if any of it is official fluff, didn't get an answer. Because lines like this are cool and good: "Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fires of Horus' ambition than live to see this." http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Roboute_Guilliman In private, he's moody and despondent with too much responsibility on his shoulders, like how I imagine all Space Marines must feel. Imperial Commander to a group of twenty Space Marines: "You must help us, storm the heretic fortification, save the day for us!" Space Marines: "Sigh, we're so tired of this poo poo, we've been doing this for centuries." Iron Warriors: "Told you so."

They really are not good, its 5 points for ~2/3 chance for a wound once so they cost too much for too little impact. If you wanted to be boring and WAAC the current way to kill stuff as Tau is just volume of fire or commanders, most people dont bother going for more that the first markerlight since the cost is prohibitive and most of the platforms just are not survivable against players who understand their purpose.

That is a terrible photo of Mortarion and the paint scheme doesn't help. I like the model OK so far but I can't really judge for certain until I can see it in gray plastic. Still, like most of the recent releases, I suspect I'll love it when I see it in better angles/lighting/colors. GW just does such a laughably bad job photographing minis. :-\ I like the general action/pose of the model though.

Pose is ok Paint job is eh. Picture quality is eh. Very busy model, my eyes can't focus on anything with so much going on. Sometimes less is more. I agree over ostentatious junk all over armor is very 40k but wow. Personally his scythe is less weapon an looks more tyranid bio weapon, not a fan. Its not awful its quite good actually but a few less details an it'd be perfect. It follows why I'm not a big fan of the new Death Guard which is way too many gribbly bits. All of them stand out so much they could all be a aspiring champion. No one guy sits over tbe other. Morty here looks like a solid B+.

Yeah it's not like I hate it or anything, but it's too busy for me. I think that's one of the reasons I'm not drawn to most GW minis anymore. They look great with a white backdrop all alone, but when you put them in a real environment with other models the detail turns into noise.

Everyone in this thread is the worst poster. Mortarion is amazingly okay I guess. I like his wings, the rest is very "AS MANY TINY DETAILS AS POSSIBLE!  " Probably gonna do Deathguard with Nurgle daemons for a token Chaos army but I've no amazing desire to have him.
