The Hellblasters and Watch Master are both being set aside for Teleportarium deployment, because the numbers work out to "two dead tanks" if you deep strike them and pop the +1 to wound strat on them the turn they arrive. The Devil Dogs and their d3 shot multi-meltas are going to be the primary anti-tank on a turn-by-turn basis, and I expect the Leman Russes to do a lot of legwork, too.

Do Devil Dogs ignore moving and shooting Heavy weapons or do they have to shoot like Orks?

Shoot like orks unless you are tallarian. Them it's shoot like guard until you bump into all the -1 in the world. Then you just get to roll dice for fun

BigRed0427 posted:Im currently building a Wraitguard Craftworld squad and i had a question. Should I give them D-scythe's or Wraithcannons? D-scythes took a huge hit with the FAQ change that you can’t Quicken a unit after deep striking, as there’s no way to deep strike them and get them into range. I prefer the wraithcannons, because they’re cheaper and you have the tactical flexibility to hold them in deep strike in some matchups. Re: wraithblades, I’ve never used them but the sword ones are meant to be OK - even unbuffed they will blender a lot of things on the charge, and 35 points is priced to move.

Zuul the Cat posted:The Repulsor is actually cool and good. I just put one together this past weekend and i'm working on a second one for my Ultramarines. I'm using Scale75 Antares Red as my base and really like it, it's super vibrant. I think it may be comparable to Evil Sunz Scarlet. I did a very targeted wash with Vallejo Smoke and Black Ink in the recesses. I'm too lazy for double highlights on gun casings but used Vallejo Hot Orange on the major edges and if anything I'd hit the corners with a dot of reaper linen white or something like that. Your recipe sounds good, if darker and less saturated. If you're doing this for Ultramarines, I might consider starting even less saturated at Khorne red depending on how vibrant your blue is. What I suggested above is probably way too saturated for ultramarines and would clash.

Thanks for the tips! My ultramarines are just primed Macragge and i'm working up from there (nuln oil pin wash, calgar edge and fenrisian grey edge), so they're not super vibrant. I might just do Khorne red, Carrobug crimson then wazdakka to keep it muted. I don't want the guns overwhelming the armor.

That's a good paint job my friend 10/10. Love the blue flourish. I just realized I never looked at Custodes models closely before. They ugly as gently caress.

The only problem with Devil Dogs is that they're 5 points more expensive than Basilisks, and Basilisks are way better. However, if you're set on using them, then I think you'll have fun!

I think D-Scythe wraithguard with Quicken are good. Just deploy them on the table, use the stratagem to auto advance them 6', and then use Quicken do it again. That moves them 22', plus the 8' threat range means you can hit anything within 30'. It's not even less efficient than deep striking because you get back that CP you were going to spend anyway.

Since they were added while I was on a break from gaming I mostly forget they even exist. My shop are selling the Renegade box for £96. I was umming and ahhing over it but at that price point it's basically a 2 for 1 on the Knights plus free terrain so gently caress it.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:I just realized I never looked at Custodes models closely before. They ugly as gently caress. It's definitely a personal taste thing. Personally I really like them but my early models were badly painted because I wasn't used to dry brushing gold so they came out badly. Looked really dull. Got it right after a while though by watching some tutorial videos on YouTube. Turns out listening to experts teaches you things, who would have thought  (Never went back and fixed my Allarus though because then I realized I didn't like them for different reasons)

I'll pass at that but might get talked into buying a box from Element. For the standard Knights is there a particular build that's best?

Lungboy posted:I'm not a fan either. The jetbikes are ok as they are more bike than man, but the infantry is terrible. Related, what's the actual difference between the two kits? Is the carapace any different or does it just not come with the carapace weapon sprue? You can build the autocannons and one of the missiles anyway and all mine are magnetised, so if I just have to stick a magnet on top I'll do that and have 3 Crusaders.

Badablack posted:Are hunters and stalkers any good? I remember them seeming super niche back in 7th, and have never actually seen one on a board. They were created for 7th edition when flyers were basically impossible to kill without dedicated AA solutions (you could only hit them on 6s) and flyers were pretty-much must-includes in a bunch of armies. But even then dedicated AA on a vindicator body wasn't particularly good. These days more units have Fly, but killing them isn't such a problem so the need for dedicated AA guns is even less.

 Really is sometimes staggering how well dettol works. Now I just need to do all the mould line removing I didn't do 12 years ago and green stuff some mountings to drill into for the spare heavy bolters from my existing predator.

I think GW's pricing requirements go in effect the second you put their products on an online store. They have a contractual "no more than 15% off" requirement, and I think it is for online sales only. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 14:36 on May 31, 2018 |

Awesome, thanks! I'm dipping my toes in marines for the first time and can definitely feel the main faction privileges, so many bitz that can be used across the range with minimal chopping. Used a bunch of kill team pieces to make my VVs and then a bunch of the vets bits to make my bikers. Feels good.
