So after reading the Goonhammer FAQ overview I'm confused: are Chaos Smash-Caps canceled again or can the jump pack guys still take a thunder hammer?

Far as I know all that happened is they jacked up the price of thunder hammers for characters but only in the OG codex so chaos, blood angels, dark angels, space wolves and deathwatch are unaffected. This will probably be changed in Chapter Approved though since thats when point changes happen.

Well, it has three of each weapon. The autocannon and lascannon share tripod and the handles the gunner is holding. But with spare guardsmen, extra gunner arms, 3rd party tripods and six 60mm bases, you can potentially squeeze 9 teams out of a single box. Mad robot for example have appropriate extra arms, as well as tripods.

Groetgaffel posted:Well, it has three of each weapon. Not only is this correct, with a little ingenuity you can make 9 weapon teams with nothing more than the extra bases and spare infantry-box guardsmen models. The bipods intended for mortars can be cut down to fit autocannons or lascannons, gunner arms can be avoided by a gunner reaching for spare ammo or scanning with binoculars etc. Missile launchers, especially, use separate arm bits and look perfectly good with both models on the base standing up (so do mortars); any team looks fine with only one model knyou abeeling behind the gun. If you're a real cheapskate, also, there's nothing saying you absolutely need 2 x models per base for a HWT; it's just the convention. If you're on a budget, just do one man per base, with some effort put into a scenic base it wouldn't even look that weird!

This reminds me I still need to make 9 GSC mortar teams. Is there a consensus on what the best Neophyte models are for that? The spare bodies that come with the Goliath seem decent but I’m open to suggestion.

Back when GW was doing mail order bits I got enough steel legion lascannon crew to do a full autocannon HW team from the leftovers of a catachan heavy weapons squad. I don't think it would be too difficult to magnetize the tripod to switch out the lascannon & heavy Bolter options either.

I magnetized 9 heavy weapon squads with all options for my GSC and guard. It's a huge slog and very annoying. In retrospect, I wish I had ignored the hand position stuff and just placed the tripod and magnetized it with the various guns, and have the two guys standing around on the base, instead of trying to magnetize it so the sitting dude is holding on to the various guns.

Getting interested in 40k again after a long-ish while - could I get some critique on this list? It's mostly based around models I already own and I can't imagine Sisters are at all competitive, but I'm wondering if I have any glaring oversights or boneheaded choices (beyond trying to play Sisters in the first place). I'm planning to load the melee Canoness with Jacobus and the Repentia into a Rhino to be danger piece 1, Dominions with meltas in the Repressor as danger piece 2, Dominions with storm bolters in the Immolator as gap fillers, and the two meltagun Battle Sisters squads in the last rhino. The other 3 Battle Sister squads and the Retributors will footslog around with the base Canoness, while the Seraphim are held in deep strike. IG mostly there for horde clearing help. I'm pretty sure Celestians (w/ Bloody Rose +1S and +1A on charge) or Arco-flagellants would help as melee support for the Canoness & Jacobus combo more than Repentia, but Repentia are in the list currently as I don't have models for the other options. My other big concern is how well Sisters can tackle durable targets like Knights. ++Bloody Rose Battalion Detachment (74 PL, 5CP, 1,305pts)++ HQ Canoness [3 PL, 56pts]: Inferno pistol, Power sword, Relic: Blade of Admonition, Warlord, Warlord Trait: 2. Righteous Rage Uriah Jacobus [3 PL, 50pts] --Sororitas Rhino [4 PL, 75pts]: Storm bolter Canoness [3 PL, 45pts]: Bolt pistol, Chainsword Troops Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 73pts]: 5 Models, 2x Meltagun Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 73pts]: 5 Models, 2x Meltagun --Sororitas Rhino [4 PL, 75pts]: Storm bolter Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 57pts]: 5 Models, 2x Flamer Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 57pts]: 5 Models, 2x Flamer Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 45pts]: 5 Models Elites Repentia Squad [6 PL, 120pts]: 8x Models Fast Attack Dominion Squad [5 PL, 60pts] 5 Models, 5x Storm bolters --Immolator [5 PL, 98pts]: Immolation Flamer Dominion Squad [7 PL, 141pts] 6 Models, 4x Meltaguns, Superior w/ Combi-Melta, Simulacrum Imperialis --Sororitas Repressor [5 PL, 107pts]: Heavy flamer, Storm bolter Seraphim Squad [4 PL, 88pts] 5 Models, 2x Dual Inferno Pistols, Superior w/ Plasma Pistol Heavy Support Retributor Squad [5 PL, 85pts] 5 Models, 4x Heavy Bolters ++Cadian Spearhead Detachment (16PL, 1CP, 195pts)++ HQ Company Commander [2 PL, 30pts]: Chainsword, Laspistol Elites Veterans [5 PL, 66pts] 10 Models, 2x Grenade Launchers, Veteran Weapon Team w/ Autocannon Heavy Support Heavy Weapons Squad [3 PL, 33pts] 3x Mortar Heavy Weapons Squad [3 PL, 33pts] 3x Mortar Heavy Weapons Squad [3 PL, 33pts] 3x Mortar Total: [90 PL, 6(+3)CP, 1,500pts] Nancy fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Oct 2, 2019 |

List looks reasonable, with the caveat that it'll have the same trouble that all Sisters lists have with killing tanks. When all your anti-tank is in melta all your opponent has to do is kill the melta before it gets danger close, and then drive around and laugh at you. And sadly, 3+ armor doesn't do much to keep T4 marines alive, much less your T3 sisters! Since you're souping in some Guard anyway, have you got any missile launcher or even better lascannon teams available? Best of all would be a Leman Russ or three. I love 9d6 mortar shots per turn as much as the next Guard commander, but you've got plenty of bolter and heavy bolter on the board already for anti-infantry. I'd be willing to lose the Veterans to upgrade the guns on the Heavy Weapon Teams. Alternatively, lose the flamers in the regular Sister squads. Since those girls haven't got a Rhino, they'll be hard pressed to ever use the flamers while regular bolters will at least get a few shots off. Of course this all depends on what your opponent is bringing. If you don't expect to see many vehicles or big monsters then by all means, focus on anti-infantry.

People already datamined a Sisters logo with the filename along the lines of "PA_2" like a minute after the website went up so grain of salt on that list. The 3rd and 4th especially as that's retreading old ground and dredging up storylines already over.

I do have an extra HWS box and another on top wouldn't be super expensive, so I'll look into shifting some points around and dropping the Vets. My main anti-armor theory was the Repressor loaded with Meltaguns, potentially 39"+ threat counting initial move, Vanguard move, AoF move, etc. Secondary was the Bloody Rose Repentia with Jacobus and the Canoness, making 4 S8 attacks per Repentia on charge, rerolling 1s to hit, with the potential for revenge mortal wounds via Stratagem.

I expect them to turn up a while later, they are on the sprue with other stuff and the codex does not have them in it with anything but the auto cannons when most of the new kits are dual builds/weapon options. they could turn up somewhere weird like in one of the awakening books I suppose, but there are the other suggested models and the expectation of more waves at some point.

Charles Get-Out posted:Thanks for the suggestions! I do have an extra HWS box and another on top wouldn't be super expensive, so I'll look into shifting some points around and dropping the Vets. I get that, and it can work....if you get first turn. If you don't, though, those Rhinos are going to melt quick to any kind of dedicated anti-tank fire and then trying to walk across the board to either melta or charge is going to suck. Of course, its not like HWS are that particularly survivable either, being only 6 wounds at T3 5+, so not getting first turn is pretty bad for you either way. I'd recommend deploying your Rhinos out of line sight as much as possible so that even if you go second, one or the other of the Rhinos might live long enough to zip forward and drop off your important ladies. Definitely try and vanguard that Repressor behind a building or hill or something if you know you're going second. Also remember that unlike earlier editions, in 8th you disembark from transports at the START of your movement phase. Which means even if you do get to go first on turn one and move+advance your transports, you won't be able to shoot or charge with the gals inside until turn two, which gives your opponent a chance to crack the Rhinos open on his half of turn one and then shoot your sisters as they crawl out of the wreckage. It also means he can move away from the Rhinos and get out of melta or charge range, which sucks too. Don't forget that Rhinos come with Smoke Launchers, and popping smoke on turn one to get the -1 to be hit is much more valuable than a couple of storm bolter shots when all you really care about is getting the girls inside someplace useful. Nice thing about the Repressor, though, is that it has fire points unlike my poor Guard Chimeras (some rear end in a top hat welded all our roof hatch doors shut in 8th!) so that one at least can move and blast on turn one. Could be a problem if they set up a decent screen though to keep your Repressor from getting within 12" of the heavy stuff. Anyway, give it your best and then come back here and tell us how it went. I'm curious how it works out!
