what are the chances the 30k DA will be as bad as 40k?

alternatively, we don't even have any rules for DA in the pipeline, right?

Word Bearer's coolest unit is the Gal Vorbak. How does taking them make you WAAC?

because they are also really, really, really good, and probably a reason why people are choosing to play word bearers

Helping a store in town get a 30k league going so folks have a defined goal to have stuff together and painted, book 6 is going to be a godsend since a few want to play their blood angels, dark angels, white scars and such with more than "stubborn or furious charge"

legiones astartes: dark angels

all units with this special rule get stubborn and furious charge

I was going to ask what's your level of tolerance to mental anguish, but then I realized the way I set things up you can easily crank out the entire 4x4' board and then add the décor at your own pace, which could very well be never.



"Easily" is still relative :v:

Also I noticed my boards were only 10x12" gently caress

if you do not take gal vorbak, your list is weaker than it could be, so you'll want some of those. out of the calth box, you'll probably not get much use out of the contemptors or the terminators, because they're competing for gal vorbak slots (unless you take the vorbak as troops ROW), and you'll probably want to use one of the named HQs; Word Bearers need to take a second compulsory HQ and several of them count for both of the requirements (Erebus and...Zordon Kayak or whatever)

beyond that, what points cost are you going for?

What I really want though? A terminator combi-weapon pack. I know there are a whole two available in the special weapons pack, but I want way more than that and none of the other junk that comes in that thing. Ghost Hand, please tell your friends at FW that a pack like this would sell really well. Terminator volkites would also probably sell to someone. Especially Alpha Legion players.

the volkites look fine on cataphractii imo

actually having larger armor for your hands wouldn't really make sense in universe because it would limit manual dexterity for next to no reason and would make it so you had to manufacture two varieties of weapons (terminator and power armor) so it is YOU who is awful

so i'm gonna start trying to do something with my 30k stuff again. what's the current consensus on leviathans? i really enjoy their aesthetic.

where are the rules for the deredeo printed? i thought i remember it having an ability to boost nearby invuln saves, but did that get errata'd out or not make it to print?

are people running melee leviathans, or? it seems like the ranged weapons can cover any of the bases that the melee weapons can.

30k sucks below 3k points, maybe even 3.5k

the rows are cool ways to do cool stuff but with the contortionist level of list-twisting you need to do to make most of the legion-specific ones work in smaller point games you're better off just running a list that's consistent on the table. why are you doing all of this for +1 bs on your four tanks

toss some breachers in a proteus instead and have them walk next to it shooting poo poo with their better bolters. bring more tanks. who gives a poo poo about tank hunters or fear on dreads. if you're insisting on it drop the bullshit crappy contemptors and take a leviathan. you have four tanks that aren't paperweights in a row that's about using tanks.

iron warriors are only bad if you're playing an officially licensed Bulbasaur Balanced Campaign where there aren't shooting casualties and his iron hands have bolters that are strength 9 or something

it'd probably depend a lot on how much AT your opponent is willing to bring. it could be fun to have an AT-centric list play against one but for the most part any time i ran my knights in 30k it felt, a lot like it did in 40k, that i'm more like playing a game AT someone and not really 'with' them
