Given that the repulsor sits off the table a bit there's a decent chance stuff shooting at those intercessors might still have LOS though.

Tau Devilfish skimmers specifically used to have a rule for landing gear that let them drop to the ground and keep all your fire warriors from getting shot in the shins. *edit* Black Hole Gun, won’t you come, and bring a lot of pain~ Badablack fucked around with this message at 18:59 on May 30, 2018 |

If you can see my guys ankles under a tank, you can shoot them? So if I hang some cloth under my tank ... it stops my opponent from shooting them? ... or If I put rocks on the base up to the bottom of the hull?

Having stuff on the base would generally work but starts getting into the "modeling for advantage" territory a bit so I get a bit leery.

There's not a whole lot of ground clearance to shoot at ankles.

If you roll a 1 before firing you take a mortal wound, if you roll a 6 it instead jumps to S16 AP-4 Dam6 per shot. The Vulker re-roll doesn't let you avoid the mortal wound though, as it's not a hit roll. Pendent posted:That's exactly how it works, yeah. It would be tough to fight without ankles to be fair.

I just put one together this past weekend and i'm working on a second one for my Ultramarines. Speaking of, I want to do red casings for my weapons instead of the black. Any recommendations for a red recipe for that? I was thinking Mephiston Red, Carroburg Crimson wash, Wazdakka Red edge highlight and Wild Rider for corners.

Heya. I wanted to respond to this yesterday but couldn't really think of a good way to illustrate it. Luckily, someone on Facebook posted some models that I think are a good modification of your scheme: I feel like the gray you have is going to be a hard color to paint as a beginner; you're going to basecoast, shade, and highlight, and end up with models that look really similar to unpainted plastic. That'd be really frustrating. I think the black is a better way to go. The turquoise here (I think it's Sotek Green) also looks pretty good, though I think a less saturated blue than your image would look nice as well. I think your idea of a colored bolter casing is a better idea than the black one in this image. The silver eagle and red as pop colors will probably work better than the yellow, as that seems a little too overwhelming. I think your idea of colored inside shoulder pads and black borders is better than the ones in this image. Going with Imperial Fists is a good idea with that backstory. I use Crimson Fists for my Rainbow Warriors and like it, but if you're going all Primaris there's not much difference if you don't have the birthday Captain.

I am currently using a detachment of armigers as allies to pad out points for my main force of Sisters, and probably will get a knight soon because gently caress, the last couple pages made me want one. I plan on starting an admech army at some point down the road. Is there anything stopping me from using the knights as a Questor Mechanicus aligned house when using them with other armies? (Or Imperialis if aligned with admech?) I'm guessing the answer is going to be "wait until the codex drops", but if I plan on allying them with different imperial forces that seems like it might be important.

So you're right, there's no simple way to make it not stupid.

Seriously, that black and blue is amazing. Those guys look like experts at murdering everything. MSP makes a good point, grey is hard to do. I still struggle with it too. It looks good if done right, but man it's hard to do right.

Currently I think the only difference is how the interact with AdMech, since you need the <QUESTOR MECHANICUS> keyword to use their strategems iirc. Outside of that I would not be too surprised if it ends up making no difference in 99% of lists taking a single Knight and people end up taking wherever is best for them.

Titan Legions have lesser Knight Houses as attendents, clearing out small threats and drawing aggro like Armigers do for regular Knights.

I'd just like the Knights to be available to admech in a Supreme Command detachment. Having to be in a single superheavy auxiliary detachment stinks for army building purposes.

There's a team doubles tournament coming up next weekend at my FLGS, and I'm thinking about taking out some Deathwatch for the first time. I'm pairing up with a Guard player, and am trying to figure out whether we're going to have a decently balanced list or not. I'm bringing: Blood Angels Auxiliary Support Detachment (-1 CP) HQ: Captain with Jump Pack, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield (sue me, I play Blood Angels and haven't gotten to use this yet) Deathwatch Battalion Detachment (+5 CP) HQ: Watch Master Librarian Troops: 5x Intercessors (Sergeant has Power Sword) 5x Intercessors 5x Intercessors Heavy Support: 10x Hellblasters My Guard partner is bringing the following: Catachan Battalion Detachment (+5 CP) HQ: Company Commander Company Commander Troops: Guard Squad Guard Squad Guard Squad Fast Attack: 2x Hellhounds 3x Devil Dogs Heavy Support: 2x Leman Russ Battle Tanks What's missing? Do we have enough anti-tank? Enough anti-infantry?

You're a little light on anti tank, I'd expect the Hellblasters to get focused down ASAP. You could try splitting them up to go with 2 Intercessor squads each, and drop all both down with the Watch Master to gain some ablative wounds. You might be diluting the +1 to wound stratagems in that case, though. The Captain could be the crazed sole survivor of a Blood Angels strike force set against the Xenos, and the combined Deathwatch and IG Inquistion force is surprised to see him still alive. It could be thematic!
