Tiger Millionaire posted:Any of our resident Ork players want to give me some advice? I am trying to draft a 1.5k list now indexes are out. I like speed freaks - Ork warbikers seem to have been buffed. They have 2 wounds and now have 6 shots at s5. They are quick which will help them get into combat turn 1-2. Moral is a weakness as they will have fewer models than most Ork units and they have lost the inbuilt cover save. I cannot see a reason to complain about them. Deffkoptas seem to be useful for harassing a weaker backfield unit. I think they are too expensive for 4 wounds at T5 if you take killsaws and/or rokkits. I would say keep them cheap and use them to tie up units after dropping a bomb on them. For your purposes, you can squeeze 3 30 Boy units and a 10 Nob-biker unit into a brigade detachment accompanied by a Warboss, Painboy and Big Mek (all on bikes). Lots of klaws in there.

Have a cross post:     That deff dread is a conversion from the original metal model. I bought 2 of the shits off ebay and have converted them to be a similar size to the new plastic model. Just saw the following email from Forgeworld posted on the Waaagh forum as a response to a query about the lack of a Mega-dread entry. "Hi Greg, Thanks for the email, we are still waiting to hear back from our design team regarding this as looking at the announced data sheet on the community forum for the Meka dread now covers the Mgea and Meka dread designs, the rules and special rules lead us to believe that these are now the same model that have a special rule to theme them to a kustom meka or the heavy hitting mage dread and a renamed kill kannon into the rattling kannon. Again we are not 100% sure if this is accurate it is just out thoughts till the rules team let us know if this is the case or if the data sheet was accidentally left out." They may have forgotten to include the rules or there may be no rules. Pure comedy.

Only problem is I need more models and they are expensive. Bringing this back to template/blast weapons, it would help if there was another d6 at half-strength/S4. It would help with hordes and prevent the guns becoming ridiculous AV platforms.

Big Wall of text - I played my first game of 8th yesterday. My list was a spearhead detachment: HQ: 2 Big Meks (one with a KFF) Elites: 1 Mek, 1 Waaagh Banner Nob Heavy: 1 Gorkanought 1 Meka Dread (Ratler gun and KFF) 2 Deff Dreads (all with big shootas) 3 Killa-Kans (all with big shootas) 3 Killa-Kans (all with big shootas) His list was a battalion detachment with a spearhead detachment: HQ 1 Avatar 2 Warlocks Troops 3x dire avengers with exarchs Dedicated Transports 3x Wave Serpents Heavy 2 Wraithlords with dual bright lances Dark Reapers We played tactical escalation on Hammer and Anvil. The 6 objective markers were evenly spread - 2 on the right and left sides in each table third. I deployed in a narrow column as far forward as possible. He deployed his dark reapers and wave serpents on the flanks back in his deployment to keep them within 36 inches, his Wraithlords and Avatar stood to the front but 24" away. First 5 turns The first 5 turns involved my army lurching straight forward pinging shots off of his Wraithlords in an ineffectual manner. His army walked backwards trying to stay out of charge range. Not one of his units went beyond his deployment zone. Over the first 5 turns of shooting I killed 1 Wraithlord.. He had targeted the Kans and Dreads first, before he switched to the bigger, stompier, angrier, killinger, smashinger Gorkanought and Meka Dread. His Dark Reapers mostly missed but the bright lances did a huge amount of damage. His Wave Serpents were probably his MVPs with a large number of S6 shots each turn stripping multiple wounds away with vlume of fire. He killed a unit of Killa-Kans, a Deff Dread and the Gorkanought. As an aside, my Meks did no damage but returned a huge number of wounds to the walkers. Had the game ended on turn 5, he would have won 6 VPs to 4. He had scored first blood(1), Master the Warp(1), secure objective 6(1) Defend Objective 1(2), and Kill a Unit with Shooting(1). I had secured Objective 3(1) and scored 3 from Area Denial. To sum up the first 5 turns, I had half an army left and he had everything bar a Wraithlord with his Dire Avengers not having left their Wave Serpents. It went to turn 6. Turn 6 or "all 'bout dem 'jectives" By the start of turn 6 he had no table room left into which he could to retreat; however, due to his shooting, I had little left with which I could pursue him. He finally disembarked from the Wave Serpents so his Dire Avengers could blade storm. His shooting dropped the Meka-Dread to 3 wounds. Realising he didn't want to be charged, he assaulted my remaining Deff Dredd with his Wraithlord and stripped 3 wounds away -my Dread did 9 wounds in return. His Avatar charged and killed the Meka-Dread, netting him 2 VPs for Big Game Hunter. In my turn, shooting dropped his Avatar to 6 wounds. I charged 2 Killa Kans into his Avatar and 1 charged into his Wraithlord. Due to the Waagh banner and an incredible amount of luck, the 2 Kans killed his Avatar, netting me 1 VP for Slay the Warlord and Kingslayer which provided 2 further VPs. The other Kan stripped the final wound from his Wraithlord allowing me to consolidate onto Objective 1 for a VP. However, due to splitting up my other models, I managed to snag objective 5 for a VP; I scored 2 VPs for Supremacy and 3 VPs for Behind Enemy Lines. In total I scored 10 VP on turn 6. The game went to turn 7 and my opponent conceded after he drew no objectives he could achieve and he didn't table me with shooting. The final tally was 14-8 to the Orks, although I had 1/3 of my army left with him retaining 2/3. In summary: My MVPs were the Big Meks, they did no damage and made 1 shot an an enemy in anger. However, they returned a Deff Dread from 2 wounds remaining to full health (twice) and probably added 6+ wounds back to both Meka Dread and Gorkanought. This meant I could push him back to his short board edge and allowed me free-rein over all objectives bar 1. my army lacked any decent anti-armour shooting which was a costly mistake. His mistake was to keep dropping back in uniform. He could have screened his army with the Dire Avengers, who were otherwise useless. He failed to flank which prevented his army drawing mine apart. He would have won had I not been very lucky with objectives and assault on turn 6. But, who cares, as Orks Win Again.

chutche2 posted:Do you think GW will ever come up with a fix for how powerful top of 1 shooting and charges is? I always thought harshly limiting gun range, and charging back at 6" range might force people to move. Balance it by making shooting more deadly when up close. You could also make everyone's BS worse but improve it as people get closer. -1 at long range, no mod at medium range and +1 when close. Would have to change most weapons and units though. The main aim would be to force people to move to seek out the best chance to kill with shooting. I am bias though, I like cqc and have had my fill of rushing players camped at the far edge on Hammer & Anvil. My fault for not bringing enough Kommandos.

 Yes, this is meant to be a female Space Marine, I wanted them to be obviously female while fitting the rest of my army, which is entirely helmeted, the only part of Space Wolves I don't like is helmetlessness. As to the helmet proportions, the SoS models are ever so slightly taller than normal Marines, so given that any helmet worn is going to be bigger than a head, I think that part fits fairly well, but there's no working around it anyway.

Corrode posted:It's a quick fix for not having sufficient LoS blocking terrain on a table. In my opinion it doesn't really account for enough factors for how widely it's applied, particularly in that I suspect people building LoS blockers from scratch wouldn't make them with the same profiles as the ruins they currently have - i.e. a box big enough to hide a squad (or multiple squads in) from all sides. There's also no trade-off made from the rest of the ruins rules - it depends on exactly how they're worded, but on multiple occasions it's been described as "treat the entire lower floor as solid walls" which makes bikes, monsters etc. completely unable to enter the building. Solving a lack of LoS blockers by giving infantry units deployed in the terrain functional invulnerability to significant chunks of an opposing army is not a good result. Its only a quick fix if they wouldn't have had LoS blocking terrain with the same characteristics. I don't see why terrain would be designed differently if it blocked LoS as there is no uniform footprint or design for ruins. Where ruins block LoS ,they do it for both players' infantry and deny both players. The ability of a player to hide units behind a building is determined before deployment, it is an issue to be taken into account when you deploy. The issue I have with cover in 8th is that it is stupid there is no issue caused by shooting through a building. Still, forcing a unit to be entirely within cover speeds up the game.

Corrode posted:I very strongly suspect that people would not build LoS blocking terrain which was a box with a significant table footprint, which units could deploy in, which is 100% LoS blocking to the things inside from all directions, and which gives cover to the unit inside against things not needing line of sight, and which also completely blocks non-infantry models from entering it at all (basically rendering the unit inside immune to both shooting and assault from non-infantry models). I even more strongly suspect they wouldn't use 2, 3 or 4 of them, and yet that TOs are doing so at the moment thanks to the nature of what's in their collections. Your issue is that non-infantry units cannot enter the ruins. Most armies should have an infantry unit capable of clearing out a small squad of 5 sisters. Whether you chose to take such an infantry unit is a choice in list building. As for the footprint issue, an objective can be hidden inside a small building if you only need to drop 5 bodies on it. If it is a large unit, that is large commitment of points which is not doing much (besides potentially scoring objectives). The solution to this problem is already in the game. If you cannot deal with it, you are unlucky or have a problem with list design.
