General Olloth posted:Confused by this post. You still have to pay the 20 points for the Dark Lance. Whoa I’m new to this, but is this true for all models? Like I saw Raider and its description which included “comes with a dark lance” or w/e the phrasing was, 65 points. The later section does state the Dark Lance is 20 points. I assumed whatever was listed as coming with the model was also included in the listed price for that model. Does this mean the venom point cost is (venom listed price) + (splinter cannon price) + (twin linked splinter rifle price)?

Proletariat Beowulf posted:What kind of method do y'all use to secure magnets to the bottoms of your minis? A bunch of magnets have come off when I used cyanoacrylate glue. I used hot glue. Its strong yet easy to remove if need be. You can dig into it with clippers to peel it off, but while it is intact it holds strong.

Just FYI, a 7/8" steel fender washer fits perfectly into the bottom of a 25mm base. If you want more weight, stick a 1/2" washer above it. Metal on the base, magnetic sheet in the storage is absolutely the way to go.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Whoa I’m new to this, but is this true for all models? Correct. All units are the cost of the model + the cost of any wargear they're equipped with. In the points values tables of the codex it says "points per model (does not include wargear)". The only exception is specific named characters, where it will say "points per model (including wargear)"

Crisis suits are too expensive for how delicate they are even with drone support, Railgun hammerheads have a single 30% better lascannon, and firewarriors are both cheap and can be buffed to the moon and back. There are some other dumb issues but they don't really affect balance too much, just flavour.

Corrode posted:The argument is completely wrong on its face. The reason you can't move normally after deep striking or whatever is because it's done at the end of the Movement phase - i.e. the chance to move them has passed. Necrons do it during the phase, so they're eligible to move. It's as simple as that. Disembarking or not has nothing to do with it. Incidentally, the exact same applies for grav-chute insertion from a Valkyrie. See that was my initial reaction too, but it turns out no, the reinforcements rule on page 177 of the rulebook specifically says that units set up as reinforcements cannot further move or advance in the turn, separate to the point in the phase/turn where they set up. It’s clearly (to my mind) intended to work like a transport disembark, so I expect it to get FAQed.

I disagree - I expect the rules writers made the same assumption that putting it at the start of the phase meant they could move as normal, and forgot that they needed to override their global rule. You could squint at the night scythe and assume that it has to be at the start of the turn so that it’s pre-fly move, but it makes no sense on monoliths.

Commanders are roughly fairly costed for their weapons and they can abuse the character rules to stay durable. Crisis suits pay the same for weapons and equipment but they hit half as often and die much, much faster. They're just not worth it. Firewarriors are good. Use a bunch of firewarriors.

You could have 3-6 broadsides, 6-12 piranhas, assorted hqs and 50-100 firewarriors in a 2k list.

Dark Eldar codex is rad. I'm thinking of taking 4x Kabal patrols 1x Cult patrol and 1x Coven patrol. 4x fully loaded Raiders, 20x Wyches in deep strike + 12 Reavers , and 10x Wracks for sitting on objectives and never dying. Tied together with the Archon Party Limo, with 4x Archons and 1x Sucubus in a Venom all firing their 2+ blaster pistols out the window before disembarking and kung-fu'ing the enemy command elements. With a full set of Court of the Archon special characters it's a neat 2000 points. It's also 160 wounds worth of meat on the table, all of which has a 6+FNP, which means that it's almost 200 wounds across the army. Essentially infinity command points. Notable when the Reavers swoop in, fire 4 blasters, and then spend 3cp to fire 'em again. And then charge at 3 attacks each for a total of 36, and then can spend another 3CP to do /that/ again. And can do that two turns in a row before you're out of CP. Awesome.

You seem to be following the classic Sautekh scheme here. It uses white. Mine, I posted a picture of my immortals a few days ago, use bone, works really well with their main colour being bronze. Turquoise might work pretty well too, as would copper/brass/bronze. Gold I feel is best saved for the 'fancier' units of higher status, like the crest on Lychguard and on (Over)lords.

I think there are tough choices to make for which Wych and Coven affiliations/obsessions are the best for different situations. But yeah, Black Heart seems for sure the best Kabal based on pro consensus.

So I really like you can make a Prophet of Flesh Haemonculus Warlord that just won't die. His Obsession means his Invulnerable save is 4+. Neat. He can take the Nightmare Doll which means that Inured to Pain works on a 4+. Cool. And as a Warlord trait, he can have Master Regenerist which lets him heal D3 wounds at the start of each turn.  I don't know if it's any good, but it delights me.
