I picked up Robot Girlyman and been working on painting the model. Not steady on the rules, but can I take him as a LoW and makr him my leader while the rest of my army is another chapter than Ultramarines?

Are all FW models finecast? I recently assembled a few (GW) Necron HQs in finecast, and it was a terrible experience. I kinda want to buy a FW Leviathan dread, but if it's finecast I'd rather carve one out of wood or something.

I bought two Doomsday Arks and a few Destroyers second hand, and realised I'm a bit short on flyer bases. Is there anywhere I can pick up bases for these models?

Going to babby's first tournament this saturday. My army is 80% painted, and I am excited to play something else than my buddy's Chaos cheese FW army. I'm bringing a mix of normal and bigmarines, a few tanks and a squad of Adeptus Custodes in a Land Raider, lead by Inquisitor Greyfax. Not much unit spam, but I'm bringing a 10 man Hellblaster squad backed up with a lieutenant, captain and ancient as my firing base. When you go to no-stakes tournaments, do you run into a lot of WAAC, or could I possibly run into some other chillhams?

Babby's first tournament went well. First game was vs a chill guy who played Alpha Legion. Close game that ended with me getting full score after I tabled him in round 5. Cool. I'm getting seeded with the winners. Next up, AM. Sounds like fun, as I've not played much against AM before. The dude brought 2 Shadowswords and a Baneblade. The rest of his army was psykers to buff them and a few heavy weapon teams, plus some deep striking plasma dudes. I wasn't really prepared for this much armor. Round 3 I played an Ynnari list with all 3 characters from the Ynnari box. He miscalculated the range on my Hellblasters, even though I told him it was 30" before the match. The dice were also not in his favour at all. The next time I fight space elves, I'm focusing shuriken cannon infantry more than I did this time around. Ended in 3rd place. Not playing against anyone that brings more than one Super-Heavy ever again.

  My first shot at a Salamander dread. The rest of my SM army is painted purple, but I will start using the Salamanders scheme on all the new ones. It's a WiP, but I am happy with the result so far, considering I got zero artistic genes in my body.

Partial Octopus posted:I'm looking to get back into playing 40k and I'd like to build a Salamanders army. I'm looking to be competitive. Does anyone have a list they could share? I'm just trying to figure out what models to get first. The salamanders rule is one reroll hit and one reroll wound per squad. I like running at least 3-4 5-man tactical squads with Lascannon because of this.

Milotic posted:There’s currently no model for it so it won’t be in the Codex unless they release a model for it as part of a rumoured three way Armageddon campaign this summer (massive pinch of salt suggested) How do you build a Kult of Speed list, then? Lots of Trukks, and fill them with infantry?

Played a game of Necrons vs Alpha Legion today, and they are really hurting from the lack of Codex. I messed up a bit in my deployment (meaning, I didn't have anything to screen for my warriors so I got turn 1 charged by Berserkers who stratagem deployed at 9"), and got nearly tabled by the end of my opponent's second turn. Really disheartening, but at least I still got my Space Marines to fall back on if I actually want a shot at winning.

Entropy238 posted:Now that I’ve got a solid base for my army, I think I’m going to rotate between buying two weaker units for every good unit I get so I’m not just following whatever the meta is. If you end up buying and using sub-optimal units in your army, have a plan on how to and when to use them. Don't just run with a million Assault Squads because they are bad (actually, use Assault Squads because they are a really cool concept).

Liquid Communism posted:I'm thinking of them as a Dark Angels heavy support detachment alongside my Wolves, so needs to make up 3 squads. It wouldn't be that much more expensive to make them bigger squads, though. If you're just looking to fill HS slots, you can always run two minimum sized Devastator Squads without any special weapons, just regular filler marines. That's 65 pts each.

I'm trying a soup list with my salamanders, and need some input. Celestine Custodes Allarus Captain w/ Praetorian Plate (Warlord) 2x MSU Storm Bolter sisters of battle 7 Sisters of battle with Storm Bolters Vexillus Praetor w/ Vexilla Defensor Librarian on bike Captain w/ jump pack 2x Plasma incinerator Hellblasters Devastator squad, 3x Las, 1 ML, 5 regular marines Primaris Ancient Predator w/ 4x Las Sternguard Veterans w/ special issue boltgun Company Veterans w/ Storm Bolters The plan is to drop the Sternguard, Company vets and Captain to soften up infantry blobs. Maybe with the Custodes terminator too. The hellblasters, devastators, ancient and vexillus form a death star together. Librarian goes with Celestine to try and remove invul saves. Sisters cap objectives, Celestine goes full frontal, and if she gets tarpitted the Terminator Custodes can teleport to her. I might have a bit too few anti tank units, or is 7 las + 1 ML enough? The predator will draw most of the enemy's high damage shots. Thoughts on the list?

What exactly does the SM chapter master stratagem do? Does the character in question give all <chapter> units "reroll misses", or what changes? I can't seem to find any info anywhere.

Thanks. Where can I find the full rules for this stratagem?

Artum posted:The stratagems page of codex space marines, its one of the few good ones vanilla marines have though it makes up for it by being so damned powerful. Thanks. So if I am to attend a tournament, I can decide before the game starts, depending on what I'm facing, wether I'm upgrading my captain or not? Sounds good to me.

kommisar posted:Have to remove whole models where possible. So if you put 1 wound on the team the next wound would also have to go there. I’m not next to the rule book but I’ve never seen it done any other way. Just to be clear: I assume the same goes for Celestine? If she has taken damage, you have to keep putting wounds on here even if both her Geminae ressurected?

If you got an inquisitor on the table, you can use Dominate on knight characters. I usually just use that power to try and force overcharged plasma suicides, but using an opponent's Heavy 14 relic against their own army is amazing.

Taking knights, witha mix of sisters of battle and =][= for a spin tonight. My friend is bringing his lone chaos knight together with his legions, and I am curious to see how this works out. Are Deathwatch veterans with chainsword and storm bolters as great as they look on paper? Backed up by a watch master, they're 40 rerollable bs3 shots wounding monsters and infantry on 2+, with rerollable 1s depending on your tactic. A 10 man squad + Watch Master is only 330 points, and you can easily deep strike them for 3cp.
