Hell yeah! While they're no longer officially "the best" Space Marine army, Salamanders are awesome and have so much more character than other chapters. I need to go find my Drop Pod and get it fixed up since they score now.

Why are they no longer "the best"? Is it the change to what things get twin linked when you take Vulkan?

It says pretty clearly in the wiki article you linked that totemkompf just means "deathshead" as used by pirates, old prussian units, nazis, some american troops, pretty sure other military units (especially special forces) etc. I'd give them benefit of the doubt rather than rolling out my 'Jump to Conclusions' mat straight away.

How horrible are X25 stealth suits for the Tau? I found 2 boxes unopened really cheap.

They're a lot better with the change to burst cannons, and can take marker drones. I believe they work really well with Shadowsun, as well. Only having the one wound hurts them in comparison to XV8's though.

Basically, they can be good, but you need to have a plan for them.

AbusePuppy posted:

If you like Fire Warriors and are going to be starting off with some smaller games, a Cadre Fireblade is actually a pretty solid choice- he comes with a BS5 Markerlight, the Split Fire rule, and when sitting with a squad of FW in the backfield, he drastically increases their firepower.

The Fireblade is the leader of the Pulse Parade - He makes static FW able to put out a positively grim number of shots, and has a markerlight, which is the best gun in the codex.

Drake_263 posted:

Also, the Tau Battlesuit Commander 'official' model is the Finecast one that looks like a bigger beefier XV8 - This guy - but nothing prevents you from just taking a 'spare' XV8 and painting him as a Commander. The difference is literally in that the Finecast model is wearing special XV8-05 'Enforcer' armor - if you're fine with a commander in 'regular' XV8, you can do fine with just a plastic model. (Of course that doesn't mean you can't bling him up a little!)

My commander is a standard XV8 that lost an arm after a series of hillarious losses to Orks. I named him Commander One-Arm and left it at that. It's good to be able to tell your HQ from your other suits.

Drake_263 posted:

Just to clarify, it's mentioned in the codex, but battlesuits mark their rank with helmet paint. 'Regular' shas'ui Crisis pilots (sergeant equivalents for fire warriors, actually) have helmet painted the same color as the rest of the suit, with sept markings in the usual color on the top. Shas'vre (Crisis sergeants) have helmets painted with solid sept color. Finally, Shas'o (Commanders) have helmets painted with their sept color, with 'inverted' sept markings done in the same color the rest of the suit is painted with.

Or paint your spacemen however, but making your squad leaders and HQ units visibly distinct is important. The specifics end up being a lot like Tyranid wargear, where the other player points at a space monster, lists all the glands or whatever it has, and nobody else remembers or knows what they do.

Tau actually seem to get that a lot, too. "Oh, their anime magic lets the shoot flyers at BS4 this round? Is that legal? Weird."

So, Sisters of Battle are too expensive to actually field, I hear.

Sisters go $79 US for 10. The new scions box are $35 for 5. I guess sisters aren't too overpriced now? Then again, I guess the sculpts are from the 80's, and still use the same molds.

I don't really want to be that guy but this Formation is super solid and doesn't require all that much buy-in. I'd been meaning to pick up some Assault and Devastator Marines anyway (I just have a boatload of Tacticals and Sternguard) and I think this is just the thing to go for.

Painting some power armor will be a change of pace.

This seems like it would look best if it was painted as a different chapter from than your primary marines. You should paint them up as "definitely Ultramarines" allies to your Salamanders.

Would it be morally and socially acceptable to paint Khorne Bezerkers Macragge Blue? I'm going for two main colour schemes in my army (blue for fast attack and troops, purple for stuff wot blows other stuff up). This is to represent two renegade chapters joining forces. But I love taking zerkers as troop choices but I don't want to paint them the traditional colours so my army is consistent and also for the sake of mah narrative. I figure if Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, he's probably pretty chill about what the stylish bloodcrazed murderer is wearing this year.

I'm probably going to do the same for Plague Marines (though I might just proxy normal troops since I'm not the biggest fan of the models for Plague Marines, even less so for the Death Guard colour scheme)

If you're really worried about it, paint a shoulderpad on each to indicate what's what.
