Grabbed a box of AoS Khorne Murder Slaughter Killer Bloods today. The spare parts from the Blood Warriors will make excellent 40k Berzerkers. Also bought the Triumvirate of the Imperium box for Greyfax but I'm thinking Celestine painted in the same colours as the Sigmarines I did would make a great general for them too. I held off on buying the Chaos Codex as I think I spent enough for one visit :/ Still a lot more stuff for less £ than a couple of years ago, especially the start collecting box.

The flying stands on my Primaris Inceptors broke because they're fragile pieces of poo poo so I remedied this by having the fly boys tilted over on one side so that one muzzle of an assault bolter is touching the base and one of the feet is glancing the ground Venerable Primaris Breakdance Deathmurderers

They're all berserk but they haven't all earned their Berserker merit badges yet Do other berserkers have the nails / brain lobotomies or is that just Angron? I thought he did that to most of his dudes too. That'd be an easy way to distinguish between tacticals and berserkers.

TheChirurgeon posted:There's no rule for anyone getting cult units as Troops. They did a design interview earlier this week where they said that was intentional. So, they had that rule in the Index but have removed it from the Codex? I figured the prohibitively high points cost for a squad of Noise Marines was enough of a limiter to stop spam, or are they cheaper in the Codex at least?

So how does this work Do you have to have an internship before you're a berserker? All heresy era world eaters veterans have the butcher's nails. How do some of them go "yeah but you know what I really want to do? Use this missile launcher" Also who drives their rhinos?

I kind of feel like expanding my GSC with a large tyranid beast. I like the idea of some large terrible beast the cult has cultivating over the years. Is there one that functions okay as a one off? Was thinking maybe the harpy crone box to cover the GSC lack of fliers.

For GSCs, I mean, the Genestealer Patriarch is pretty much designed for that role. But if you want something bigger and badder, its hard to go wrong with a Hive Tyrant. You can kit them up lots of ways too. Trygons are also awesome and impressive and a personal favorite model of mine, and a Trygon Prime generates its own synapse too, same as the Tyrant. Being a burrowing beast it kinda makes sense as a secret ally too. For something smaller that would still work on its own, a Lictor or a Zoanthrope could be fun? Or yeah Harpy Crone if you want a serious flyer. No clue how good they are in 8th tho. Maybe just consider a Tyrant with wings? Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Aug 12, 2017 |

I picked up one of the new Intercessor kits today and I absolutely adore how they do the helmets that attach to the thigh. I'm liking this kit a lot better than the Reivers.

Only thing I'd change is drop the Leman Russ Laser Destroyer (it's seriously laughably bad) and replace it with a Manticore. Otherwise I love it. In 2000pts, I'd add a Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter and call it a day.

I need the thread's help. I am having fits with flyers. I am a scrub who plays Orks and Chaos Marines and doesn't want to run flyers to counter flyers. Today I had two flyers against me and despite having first turn, they just went across the table and deleted two units. A second round of bad shooting meant they removed even more. Those flyers killed so much because they could kill anything, but I only have a few units that can possibly wound them. And it's too easy for the flyers to ignore terrain and just counter those units first turn. So what is the best way to deal with them?

Im not sure why you think running flyers is a no go zone but the only second choice you got is run units with the fly keyword like stormboyz.

The same could be said about psykers. Don't take them and see what happens when you have no counter to an entire phase of the game. There's nothing wrong with flyers, they're part of every army. In addition, when you play someone who doesn't have one - it's even easier.

Aren't Deffkoptas also FLY units? A squad of those could probably put the hurt on most flyers.

Most flyers aren't any better at shooting flyers than non-flyers are, there's only a few that get a hit bonus vs flyers but they usually have heavy weapons so get hit penalties for moving The best way to kill flyers is in melee using models with the fly keyword

You don't need to run Flyer-slot Flyers to counter them. But either something that can charge them, ie, something with the Fly keyword and that can feasibly down a light vehicle in CC, or guns that get bonuses against flyers. For loyalists that's stuff like Stalkers, Tarantula Air Defense Batteries, or just stuff with enough volume of fire that you can still hit it with a -1.

SteelMentor posted:Stormboys, Traktor Beams, Raptors, Warp Talons, Daemon Princes and Aegis Defense Lines. Or just bite the bullet and get a flyer of your own. Or use something with Las and take the -1 to hit to shoot at flyers. A hellbrute with las will still hit on a 4+. Predator with sponsons. Oblits. Order a Legion Sicaran from Forgeworld. It sucks because you've got less options for your dedicated flyer than space marines, but a demon prince will get work done if you throw one into a stormtalon. Or be super janky and get Skarbrand to assault the opponent's flyer. It will be unable to fall back and either have to drop to hover, so you can hit it normally, or crash at it's movement phase.

Why are you all treating them like normal anti-armor weapons are useless? A -1 to hit modifier isn't the end of the world. I get you could do some pretty solid damage with autocannon havocs.

I get you could do some pretty solid damage with autocannon havocs. For Chaos, I'm not. This game my havocs couldn't hit or put more than 1 wound on a flyer. The frustration was more due to the Konor mission for this week. Orks are more my concern, due to the need for 6+. I'll look into Stormboyz or DeffKopta.
