my kinda ape posted:Can I choose a Tech-priest enginseer from the admech book as an HQ choice in a IG detachment? This wouldn't interfere with the doctrine as techpriests are explicitly an exception to that but am I allowed to mix Imperium factions in a detachment? The rule is in the Chapter Approved 2018 book, which consolidates all this kind of stuff prior to the April 2019 FAQ. You have to have a more specific keyword in common than IMPERIUM, CHAOS, AELDARI, YNNARI or TYRANIDS in a detachment. You can't take the Ad Mech Enginseer as an HQ for an Astra Militarum detachment because he doesn't have the ASTRA MILITARUM keyword. Only the Elites version in the Militarum book does.

Ah I don't have the CA book so that explains why it isn't in the current FAQ. Thanks! And yeah I know enginseers are an elite choice but I wanted to use them to pay HQ tax in a supreme command detachment for a lord of war. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Aug 9, 2019 |

Thank you. I will try this on one of the head options for my UItramarine commander and report back

How is the Valdor tank hunter in 8th? Hot garbage or merely sub-optimal? I'm gonna use it either way because I have and love the model but it's good to know what to expect

Cooked Auto posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/08/09/space-marines-preview-sons-of-the-great-khangw-homepage-post-1/ Just datasheets for Primaris Kor'sarro Khan and Khan on a Bike, the latter of which will probably just be equivalent to Captain on Bike from the 2017 SM codex. I wonder if that means the latter won't be in the 2019 main codex. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow when someone with an advanced copy posts a YouTube video that's just him paging through the entire book.

The trend of the conversation has me wanting to do a Sun Ra and his Arkestra kill team, Also two successor chapters: Parliment, and Funkadelic. Their founding chapter? Unknown, all they will say is that they were founded by funk. I am absolutely not the guy to pull them off, though.

Also nice that they have a more singular vision in each piece (or at least a smaller group of writers), rather than 1d4chan posts with one section being full of one guy's opinions, with another section filled out by someone completely different who sees things another way

Are the Venatari (the jump pack Custodes) scaled "correctly" relative to other Custodes (that is: are they sized like Custodes who just happen to be wearing Power Armor)?

It's hard to tell what you're asking, no custodes are wearing power armor. If you're concerned about scale, I'd suggest setting them next to your other custodes and taking a picture, I think we'd all like to see. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

As well was some of the new stuff, I was just about to pull the trigger on the components for a Primaris Azreal based on the awesome conversion someone posted here a few months back. Now there could be an official version on the way that might cost less, but we almost certainly won't know until the NOVA preview. Do I buy or not?

It always takes my opponents a turn or two to get the reference and when they do the "HOLY poo poo!" moment is always hilarious.
