I guess the old titans riding in dreadknight papooses on the new titans would be a better visual.

Milotic posted:This isn’t quite true though since one model being visible means the whole unit can be shot, or making sure you can daisy chain back to an aura and stay in coherency. Placement for hordes still matter. To other posters, I don’t think hordes taking time is an issue. It’s people being dicks that’s the issue. 120 Orks doesn’t take that long to kill. From experience, Dark Angel shooting can easily remove 20 to 30 a turn at least. But yeah, if someone is running slow, they can do it without playing hordes as well. Don’t play pubbies or don’t play in tournaments without time limits or strict TOs telling people to knock poo poo off. I haven't seen Orks recently, but when I think of hordes I'm thinking of 10-30 man units that are 4-7 points per wound including upgrades. The worst thing that can happen from a misplacement is exposing 70-150 points to enemy fire, and you're generally less vulnerable to specific weapons in the enemy army because everything kills your models. Most of the time your stuff is going to be exposed anyway. If you have an elite army you are generally risking more points if you misplace a model and you care more about exposing primaris or custodes to things like plasma than you do with Ork Boyz.

Harlequin Masque Forms are up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/14/14th-may-codex-harlequins-masque-formsgw-homepage-post-1/ Some interesting stuff in there. The Riddle-Smiths tactic in particular seems like it could be a gigantic pain in the rear end. Edit: I'll just post them all for those who don't have access at work I guess.

That's basically it for Orks. A 30 boy mob is 180 points before upgrades. Maybe around 225 for big shootas and a nob with some extra bits (like a power klaw). The big problem with Orks, particularly with inexperienced players, is spending too much time thinking about moving all those models. This is particularly true for assault where positioning plays a major role for things like preventing falling back or follow-up assaults.

I'm going to have to figure out a titan legion, but I've already got my knight house picked out. House Orhlacc - weird fungus-eating mutants who were first discovered by the Dark Angels during the Great Crusade and spent the Heresy as a nomadic house. I have plans to eventually get a knight lancer and do it up in their colors so Titanicus just lets me expand on that. I know basically nothing about the various titan legions though. Hopefully I can find one that fought alongside the Dark Angels to continue that theme.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:A rule similar to this seems like a straightforward solution and has the added benefit of stopping stuff like Daisy chaining. I like this as well, but Legion is using really small units, not expecting to see hordes of 30 Wookies running around. I could see people pulling some shenanigans with manipulating how big hordes move around their leader. Still, I would like a rule like this. I've run 30 bloodletters in some recent games, and they can be a pain to move around. Running a list with multiple big mobs like that sounds painful.

Anyone know if the Fist of Vengeance SM relic can replace a Gravis Captain boltstorm fist? I had been assuming it could, but seems a bit more vague now. A boltstorm fist is basically a powerfist with a bolter on it, but it isn't a plain jane powerfist. Looking around the interwebs yields mixed information on this from my search. I was planning to use the Fist with my Crimson Fist Gravis Captain, bummer if I can't. Luckily I did grab a Primaris Captain with Fist off eBay, so I guess he can use it instead.

Norse mythology is amazingly cool, dark, gritty, while also goofy as gently caress - a perfect fit for warhammer. Unfortunately most of the symbolism, much like the swastika, has been appropriated/co-opted by nazis. First ww2 nazis, and today neo-nazis. I'll support anyone in attempts to take it back though, but expect to make some 'interesting' friends.

Maybe add some green growth on them like moss, and make them hail from a heavily forested world.

Anyone played some deathwatch since the codex dropped yet, or even beforehand? I've got a start collecting box, a blackstar and an assortment of ez build primaris as a start to the force but I'm not sure which way to expand next, both troop options are strong on paper and I don't know what's the beast deals for AT or hordes.

I am not thrilled "never made it past turn 3" orks won the London thing. That's pretty unhealthy for the game. I was chatting with the girlfriend last night and realized that slow playing is the thing that would make me get out of this game. I've been slow played a lot and the wosrt of it was not getting past turn 2 in Vegas to some 300 man Ork garbage.
