Lord Twisted posted:I've always loved the look of wraith models for eldar and loved the fluff. Now that my 13,000 points of imperial troops are painted and based, I've got more imperial stuff coming. Iyanden is pretty good if you want an army that's made up entirely of Wraith* units because you can take them as HQs and it has some Wraith-oriented relics. If you're going the Wraithwhatever right, you'd do fine using it.

As in it's now a situational thing to have your Guardsman do to Tac squads and not guardsman straight out of Cannon Fodder Weekly somehow being the equivalent of a squad of Eldar snipers with like a thousand years combined experience, yes. It was never going to be 'every model can freely allocate hits' and if you thought it was I don't know what to tell you.

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:As in, it (the AM order Take Aim) is now a situational thing to have your Guardsman do (do replacing the verb series 'firing under the effects of Take Aim') to Tac squads (a common Space Marine unit that at max size can bunker heavy and special weapons behind chaff models), and not guardsman straight out of Cannon Fodder Weekly (Guardsman are a cheap unit, justifying this with low BS/WS and high model counts; thematically and from a gameplay perspective, it does not make sense for a squad of rookie Guardsman to somehow be better shots than Azrael, a Space Marine captain famed for his accuracy) somehow being the equivalent of a squad of Eldar snipers with like a thousand years combined experience (Illic Nightspear allows you to upgrade a 12 point model to a 25 point model; these models gain the ability to allocate their wounds as they wish).

Master Twig posted:How does wound allocation work for precision shots? If I put two wounds on a model and that model fails its first save, do I lose that extra wound or can it be allocated elsewhere? It seems as though you could allocate the wound elsewhere: the rulebook says you allocate a wound, save against it, and then allocate again [pg 35]. Your precision shot wound pool would be a separate 'wound pool' from the non-precision shot wounds, however.

'Should' and 'would' are very different things. Ideally yes, but it would not surprise me if the answer they give you is 'forge a narrative experience as best you can with the rules you have!'.

DO IT TO IT posted:People are telling me that Troops confer the Objective Secured rule to the dedicated transport that they're riding in. Has anyone found this in the rulebook and can give me a page number? I've looked under transports, objective secured, and scoring objectives and see it nowhere. 'All Troops units from this Detachment have the Objective Secured special rule' in conjunction with the fact that a Troops choice's DT is considered a Troop.

Pacheeco posted:Also, as far as I can tell, nowhere does it say a summoned Daemon unit gets any sort of upgrades. I thought this too, but it's listed on page 27, under 'Conjuring Demons'; they can take an Instrument/Icon/character upgrade for free. I'd just been checking the spell. Either way it's not the same as passing a reserves roll. Hollismason posted:You're actually straight up wrong. Yeah, I caught that when I checked the actual rules for 'Conjuring Demons'.

It's an AV13 5HP vehicle. What should it be priced at? It's not good but it's 230 points for something your opponent needs to shoot at.

They for some reason changed Daemons the way they choose Heralds. Each Detachment can now have 4. This isn't new, a single 'Herald' HQ slot in C:CD allowed you to bring 4 Heralds.

Oh, I read 'each detachment' and saw 'primary detachment'. The Lore of Change shooting attacks aren't new, though. If you didn't care about them before you're probably not going to start a Space Wolves psyker-hate list now.

I know what foundation is, but if you're trying to make video reports better you'd start with stuff like 'use a tripod, invest in video editing software that doesn't rely on power point slide transitions, have people use clear speaking voices'. 'This grognard's skin tone is uneven' is absurdly low on the totem pole of 'why this poo poo sucks' compared to things like 'solid-colored sprayed minis' or 'you don't even see the things we do during our turns!'.

So I need some 30k list help. I'm going to have a blob of 10 Terminators, and I'm wondering what to load them out with. I'm thinking Reaper autocannons and Volkites, but I'm not sold. What do people like? While we're on the topic, what happens if you master-craft a Volkite?

BULBASAUR posted:What kind of terminators? The ones that are relentless should take reapers, since you can move and shoot. I’d probably keep them as cheap as possible and avoid Volkite’s or Plasma Blastguns. You do your business in assault, so spend those points on a way to get you into assault. Cataphractiis, so Slow and Purposeful. It's basically choosing whether or not Twin-Linked is worth more than AP2 vs AP4 (and the Reaper autocannons looking really loving cool). The idea was to have a big blob of Volkites as an expensive gunline centerpoint; 8 Volkites can hit up to 32 times.

So this is the army I'm making to play opposite my Death Guard. Legiones Astartes (Iron Warriors) HQ Legion Praetor + Cataphractii + Warsmith + Cortex Controller + Digital Lasers + Thunder Hammer Pride of the Legion 220 points Troops Legion Terminator Squad + 5 Terminators + 2 Reaper Autocannons + 8 Volkite Chargers 397 points Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad 295 points Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad 295 points Heavy Support Castellax + Castellax + 2 Multi-meltas (?) + power blades 190 points Lord of War Typhon + Lascannons 390 points I'm not sold on the Typhon here, but it is cheap for the slot, and brings a lot of damage to the table.

BULBASAUR posted:Power blades on Castellax are a waste of points. MCs already do AP2 attacks by default and they FAQed the 'pair of shock chargers' to give you +1 attack. Also at 220 points for a preator I would consider grabbing one of the named dudes since they cost less and for better abilities. The power blades are honestly so I can only buy 2 models and not have to mix and match buying 4 Castellax; likewise 50 points of the Praetor is spent on Warsmith+Cortex. He's a big investment but the Castellax are a big part of the list so I think it's worth it.

BULBASAUR posted:Just pretend they have shock chargers? It's obviously your call, but Kyr Vahlen costs less points, comes with a cortex controller, and a bunch of other cool poo poo. I actually emailed Forgeworld (about a different topic) but the response they gave me was 'named characters can't alter their wargear unless it's explicitly stated'. It's definitely more points than I want to spend but it's the only way to do what I was trying to. I'll mess around with Golg theory crafting (if I take Golg and no Castellax the difference is basically another Term squad) and see which I like more.

In case anyone was wondering, the relevant rules for needing to deploy models is under 'victory conditions'; you just need to have models on the board at the end of a game turn.
