chutche2 posted:Quick question: Say I have a devastator squad with 3 lascannons and a missile launcher, they all shoot at a flyer to try and bring it down. I roll the lascannons first, then the missile. Flakk missiles say that just before the model attacks you use the stratagem, does that mean I have to use it when I declare all the shooting or just before I actually roll the shot, letting me not spend the CP if I kill it with the lascannons? And is it worth trying for the mortal wounds instead of just having a fourth lascannon? RAW I think you can roll the lascannons first, see if that kills it, then decide whether or not to spend the CP. The stratagem just says "before you make an attack with a missile launcher." If I was going to FAQ it I'd say you have to decide whether or not to use it when you declare targets, but before you roll to hit, but that's not what the rule says right now.

I'm inclined to think the CP has to be paid before any shots are made, since the whole squad shoots at the same time, and targets have to be declared before you get results from one weapon type to the next.

Loving all the Slaanesh chat, I always thought it was pretty limited when people just focused on the sex part. But metal? gently caress that, their drugs are awful. Slaanesh is all about dance music  Kabuki Shipoopi posted:You might want to swap out the havocs for obliterators and use endless cacophony on them. It'll save you 30 points, plus the 10 left you have to spend elsewhere. I completely flattened an entire squad of eldar bikes in one volley. And they can deep strike. It all depends on your play style of course. Oooh, this is useful, thanks. I was trying to organise a list from all the bits of Chaos I have lying around, but I also have some Possessed and DV Chosen I could convert. Are Obliterators good enough anti-tank? I was relying on the Havocs and Lasbrute to take on armour, and drop Endless Cacophony on the Sonic Dreadnought. Although I've just realised Fire Frenzy goes on the Dreadnought and Endless Cacophony on infantry. Love your EC models/scheme too!

So if I try to take a sip, it immediately feels wrong. I have a mug from an out of business gaming shop which has been my faithful paintfriend for years. I don't drink tea or coffee so I'm usually safe from drinking from it, but my cat loves to stick his little face in it and try and drink the paint water.

glitchkrieg posted:Loving all the Slaanesh chat, I always thought it was pretty limited when people just focused on the sex part. I mean the fleshmetal guns are 24" range assault 4 S6+D3 AP-D3 D3 damage. The minimum of S7 will hit rhinos on 4s, with 12 shots assuming they all hit. Not including rerolls and not including Endless Cacophony there is a good chance you can pop one with one round of shooting. The D3 damage is rolled before you roll damage, (along with the strength and AP) so it's static damage. Stuff with higher AP might be better, but these guys are stupid good at killing stuff, especially in an Emperor's Children army.

Slaanesh walking up the stairs, saying goodnight, and never being seen again would suck for more than just Emperor's Children. The Aeldari lose their eternal nemesis and reason for their stoic asceticism, Ynnari no longer needs to create Ynnead to murder him, Drukhari no longer need to feed him suffering to survive and lose their taboo against psykers since the threat they posed is gone. Slaanesh is a hugely important entity in the fluff even if he's the red headed stepchild of the Chaos Gods.

Slaanesh should just be a giant crazy carnival of the 7 deadly sins, elegant and grotesque. Fine blood-splattered silk robes and exquisite jewelry covering some beautiful bodies as well as super fat ones too. Just a huge mashup of every type of excess. Also GWAR because gently caress yes

My favorite representation of Slaanesh was that gore painting someone recounted a while back. I don't remember the specifics, but it was some noble lady that was murdering people then using their flesh and blood to paint an absolutely gorgeous and terrifying painting.

glitchkrieg posted:Are Obliterators good enough anti-tank?! Obliterators are the most threatening unit to my Ynnari. If I get first turn, they start in deepstrike so I can't shoot them off the table with dark reapers. If I don't go first, they drop down with Abbadon somewhere outside of my guardian/ranger bubble and shoot twice at the wave serpent sheltering my dark reapers and psykers. One time my wave serpent got instagibbed and I rolled a 1 for both the farseer and Yvraine (having already used a command point to try and save the serpent) and I was pretty salty.

I know that transports can have multiple units in them now, but do they allow mixed-armor? Could I drop 5 Assault Terminators in a Land Raider Crusader with a power-armored Chaplain, a Terminator Captain and a Terminator Librarian? Not saying I will. Just trying to figure out what's best to take with my Deathwatch.

I just started playing 40k in July after lusting after eldar models since the late 1990s, so I tend to believe my opponent when they tell me how rules work. I rolled a die for each model and I did the psykers last and rolled snake eyes. Now that you've told me and I've confirmed it in the rulebook I definitely could have just assigned those 1s to two dark reapers. Lesson learned!

I skipped a few pages because goddamn this thread moves fast but the chapter approved stratagems and warlord trait for sisters - those are really not encouraging. And I'm not sure what I'd do with that relic. Oh well, I don't know what I was expecting. e: Actually, question, I was assuming "Martyrdom" was garbage, but can the character that dies use the free act of faith to heal itself? I assume not?
