Fuegan posted:30k question: How much would I be shooting myself in the foot if I ran a Talon of three Contemptors with Multi-melta and power fist/heavy flamers? Wanted something thematic but awesome for my Salamanders. Mortis Contemptors can deal out a terrifying amount of firepower, particularly with 2x Kheres assault cannons.

HiveCommander posted:-Mortis Cotemptor dreads with Assault Cannons can lay own the hurt on a Thunderhawk if it gets a chance. Mortis Contemptors with Assault Cannons can lay down a mountain of hurt on almost anything. I had one deep strike behind an Ork Skullhamma and proceed to strip the last few hull points from it with 12 S6 assault cannon shots and a couple of krak missiles. The resulting reactor explosion blew up another 1500 points of orks and a few unwary space marines... but the Contemptor stood firm, blackened but undefeated. Point is, get those fuckers into the right location and watch the poo poo fly. Fearless fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Jun 11, 2014 |

The Space Wolf dread models are seriously making me consider playing them for shits and grins, but I've got two armies on the go as it is and don't need to be collecting new models with the painting queue I have. Pity that one cannot jam the new flyer transport full of wolves. The image of a dog's head barfing out more dogs tickles my puerile sense of humour.

You could go with a Guard special weapons team with 3 Demo charges, a pod of Jokaero Weaponsmiths, and a pod of Bullgryns. I really wish that you could ram wolves or space wolf bikers into those, or their new flyers. The idea of flinging a box of dogs at the enemy makes me giggle.

Vengeful Turtle posted:I haven't been paying attention to 40k lately but how good/bad is the new Ork codex considered? From what I've read it seems like the Trukk rally is pretty bad but is the Green Tide formation any good? My best friend uses it a fair bit in apoc games. It's a real bastard to move and hits like a loving truck-- I remember it once got off something like 90+ attacks on a terminator squad that was unlucky enough to get too close for comfort. Thunderfire cannons/quad launchers and massed bolter fire (hello 30k Fury of the Legion) make it bleed from the rear end, though.

There really isn't much you can easily magnetize on a Lucius pattern Warhound as most of the joints carry a tremendous amount of weight for a model, though I did magnetize the top of the cockpit so I can put in some LEDs in the future to make the cockpit windows glow.

panascope posted:I haven't seen the new box, how did they recut the sprues? I thought the old ones weren't bad really. They had to add a bunch of new bits, including the grav guns, combi weapons and a bunch of other options. There were some new hands/arms added too. Basically, the new kit is just a lot cleaner than the old one in terms of flash and has some deeper and better defined detail lines on the armour. I mean the old tac squad boxes are far from the hardest kits out there, they just had a lot of mold lines.

Drake_263 posted:That's a custom-made self-cast Fellblade - there's a dude who's been making one for each Legion. (He also sells resin conversion kits to make those based on a Baneblade hull). Each is different - the Blood Angels one is essentially a souped-up Baal Predator with ginormous gatling cannons while the Thousand Sons one has this absolutely loving gigantic laser cannon and big reactor packs in the back. It's actually the Stormhammer. Fellblades have a single turret for their main weapons, and only one pair of sponsons. The rules for the Stormhammer are in HHIV, and those for the Fellblade are in HHI. E: When he started that project, "Fellblade" was more or less a generic term for space marine superheavy tanks. Now they have all sorts of variants.

Genghis Cohen posted:I've just had a caning off a daemons army. My opponent (nice guy) was using his usual list based around a big unit of screamers w/herald w/grimoire, huge unit of flesh hounds w/herald, and fateweaver and Belakor. I was using Eldar, some wave serpents and some bikes/vypers, not quite what I would have taken as a purely competitive list. Daemons can be absolutely brutal, particularly when someone builds with Fateweaver/Grimoire to bring their invuln saves down to 2++. I took a thrashing against them a while back with my space marines-- I figured that spamming bolter/heavy bolter and assault cannon shots into them to force failures through the law of averages was the way to go, but nope!

AbusePuppy posted:Well, only one of those has gotten a rules release (Angron) and it turns out he's a pile of hot, steaming garbage, so that may not bode well for the others. Angron's not garbage. He provides relatively little boost to his legion when on the field (12" fearless radius) but is a complete monster in close combat... and as he kills, he gets nastier. Horus aside, I'd put money on Angron over pretty much any of the primarchs that have rules so far. (full disclosure: I play World Eaters and love the model)

BULBASAUR posted:20 marines, a flag dude, and a sword dude is a good place to start. If you grab a drop pod and rhino that gives you 2 tactical squads, 2 sergeants, and some rides. Otherwise its enough for a single tactical blob. It'll be the core of any army you build. A 20 marine tactical blob can lay down a murderous curtain of fire, and if you spring the extra points to equip them with an extra CCW, they are nasty in melee as well. I've got two for my World Eaters.

TKIY posted:Seriously. Free upgrades on Mechanicus forces. Free transports. Unbound. They are already making points and balance mean less and less. I see the free transports and upgrades thing as an answer to the ludicrous amount of extra units that Daemons and Daemonkin can summon over the course of a game. It's kinda nice to have an answer to a Khorne daemonkin army dropping extra bloodcrushers and bloodthirsters and essentially having its force points value extended by an additional 5-600pts (or more). The proliferation of D-weapons though, no good can come of that.
