Question about TLOS - do vehicles block your units from being targeted if your opponent can't actually see them?

For instance, if I walked my intercessors behind/beside my repulsor and they were effectively obscured from view, would my opponent be able to target them?

I expect this might be map better with the new plasma weapon or those one-shot cruise missiles. There's also the FW knight with a Gets Hot black-hole gun who would appreciate this.

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.

Is this how it works? 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?

I'm curious what the stats on a black hole gun would be

Pendent posted:

That's exactly how it works, yeah. It would be tough to fight without ankles to be fair.

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.

Firing though the weird gravity field under a grav tank should also have a huge penalty to hit.

Yes I certainly want to deal with that dumb as balls corner case when I'm trying to get a game done sometime today.

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

Now that Imperial Knights are the topic of the day... was there a Knight House affiliated with Deliverance and the Raven Guard, or am I getting that confused with one of the 30k Titan Legions?

gently caress GW and their bullshit Primaris transport rules

Also the repulsor is ugly

Graviton singularity cannon
Range 36" Heavy 4 S8 AP -3 D 3

Roll a D6 each time before this weapon is fired. On a 1, the bearer suffers a mortal wound and the weapon fires normally (if the bearer survives this). On 2-5, the attack is carried out normally using its listed profile. On a 6, the weapon’s attacks are instead carried out at Strength 16, AP -4, Damage 6 instead of its normal profile.

Finally settled on a color scheme for my first army to get my feet wet. (Wanted to go with IG but I figured that might be biting off more than I could chew). Similar to a scheme I used in both Dawn of war 1 and 2, The "Corrosun Purifiers" General gist is that they were raised to defend a subsector of mostly agri-worlds left vulnerable by the opening of the great rift. Shortly after founding a splinter of Hive Fleet (Kronos or Tiamet haven't decided yet) showed up to nom the sector. While the Tyranids and corresponding Genestealer cults were repelled the chapter suffered tremendous losses. Apothecaries are now very common in the chapter as keeping losses low is paramount. Despite the losses they are very proud of their victory over the Tyranids and proudly display symbols of this, even skulls and claws from slain beasts on their armor.

Looking to make a pure primaris, mostly infantry based force with some apothecaries for flavor. I was also thinking of kit bashing some Tyranid warriors and gaunts to use as "decorative totems" on tanks and dreadnoughts. Haven't settled on a primarch or chapter of origin but I am leaning towards Imperial fists. I would love to do special ammo like the death watch aswell if there is anyway that can happen.

Im currently building a Wraitguard Craftworld squad and i had a question. Should I give them D-scythe's or Wraithcannons?

Maneck posted:

The tank is supposed to have a weird gravity field under it. Using that as a justification to now allow shooting under tanks is going to save time. Otherwise people are going to have their heads on the table to figure out line of sight.

So do eldar everything, cusode jet bikes, Tau skimmers, land speeders, hell even hovering fliers could have a dust cloud. Not to be slippery slide but dude, its GW, it's not going to be consistent.

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 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.

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.

That paintjob is definitely helped by the background and even lighting though. Gimme a gallery of golden daemon award winning models photographed on a crappy gaming table with flickering fluorescent school lights.

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?

Oh! Where did you find this template? Is this something available online? I have been wanting to paint Craftworld Iybraesil and cant really find a recent guide on what colors I need to paint them.
