goose willis posted:I was expecting army-wide free infiltration like Traitor Legions had but if the only compromise is strategem-based infiltration then fine It's the same as Raven Guard. So as many as you want to spend Command Points on. Gyro Zeppeli posted:I'm...okay with Black Legion, as they stand. They're definitely middle of the pack for legions now, and they're going to basically need Abaddon to function well, but their tactic is surprisingly good, and their warlord trait and stratagem are pretty great. Abaddon alone kind of makes them very powerful, just because of how strong he is. Even without him they are still solid. But he is just a massive upgrade to them.

I see more as shepherding Cultists. Who benefit most form the buffs Dark Apostles give. Like I can imagine a Word Bearers army that is just several Dark Apostles surrounded by Cultists. )With them being most spread out around the Warlord of them as his aura is bigger. The Cultist Meat Shields protect the Apostles who spend most of their time summoning more and more Daemons.

They are pretty good and will normally send replacements. But there have been cases were if you are missing something they will send you another box of what you bought entirely.

Black Legion due to their Stratagem also prefer taking Normal Chaos Marines as Troop Choices over Cultists. And as well due to their Warlord Trait and a few other details. They shine best when fighting Imperium armies as pretty much all units get extra attacks each time they get a 5 then. Abaddon is also really good unit that makes the Black Legion much better just by being in it. I did some Math and checked tested it out. Abaddon can actually beat Guilliman in a fight if he gets the charge off. The fact that he has all 4 chaos god marks also means you can do stuff like use the Khorne Stratagem that lets a unit fight a second time on him.

TheChirurgeon posted:Yeah that's my general feeling on it. The parts where he agonizes over the Emperor's current state and the state of the Imperium are interesting, but there's never any real conflict, even on a smaller scale. Everyone knows Guilliman isn't going to die (again) soon, so the least they can do is create real stakes by showing that there are worlds that weren't immediately saved and that hey, maybe a single primaris marine does die here and there. It's actually stated that Guilliman's crusade did not reach all of the Imperiums worlds or go as far as he wanted it to. But it made good propaganda and gave the Imperium a good deal of hope even if it did not accomplish all it set out to do.

The Bee posted:This is AoS, not 40k (I swear, they're pushing Nurgle to the moon this year), but this might be what we have to look forward to with those multi-legged slug creatures. Nurgle tends to be really goofy. The Dark Imperium book had a big meeting of Nurgle Daemons and they started singing and partying. While Ku'Gath Plaugefater was like "No more music, no more laughter, Grandfather Nurgle's business is serious business." While they ignored him and continued playing music and laughing.

The snail-centipede is cool by himself, but there's like one dude on him and there's a tree on him and some metal bits dragging behind him and that dude on the pole... get rid of all that and it'd look better. It's a character. Presumably there will be less detailed snail beasts later on.

Also did not see the Regimental Standard linked so I am putting it out. https://regimental-standard.com/2017/08/23/regimental-standard-konor-war-diaries-part-5-drenthal/ "You’d be amazed at what an incentive to staying put it is to be surrounded on all sides by deep, unforgiving – and definitely not haunted or enemy-infested – ocean. It’s as if the planet itself is a Commissar, sternly but affectionately wagging a bolt pistol in one’s direction at all times."

Kroot don't eat Tyrinids cause apparently there is too much different stuff in them. Also the Shapers also have a feeling bad poo poo would happen if Tyrinid became part of the Kroot Makeup. There are apparently three types of creatures they are not supposed to eat. Tyrinids as mentioned, Humans that worship chaos. (Don't want to get the chaos stuff in the Kroot makeup. This is a bit harder for the Kroot to do then the other two cause it's hard for them to tell the average cultist apart from any other human.) And lastly Tau, which is more a respect thing. Tau don't want Kroot to eat their dead and the Kroot owe the Tau, so they said ok we won't eat your dead.

chutche2 posted:So DG cultists seem pretty legit. They benefit from DG tactics, so they rapid fire at 18 inches and can move and shoot with heavy stubbers. Definitely going to grab 30 of those, not sure if I'm splitting them into 10 man units or if I'm putting them all together and burning the CP to stop them from running for a turn when they take heavy fire. You can also put them next to Poxwalkers so as they kill the Cultists to prevent their shooting, they just keep adding to the poxwalkers numbers. The Bee posted:I'd say this answer hinges on whether Death Guard shares Chaos' "bring back an entire cultist unit from nothing" stratagem. They don't have it, they instead have a thing were Poxwalkers can get a zombie for every infantry that dies that is friend or enemy.

Der Waffle Mous posted:IIRC the kiss was explicitly done through the victim's mouth. It wasn't an egg so much as a thing that altered the hosts' DNA. Instead of a chestburster part of the hypnotism was that the victim would feel compelled to have children with a (nominally) normal person, and *that* would be the first generation. This was the recent lore I remembered. After the Hybrid was born the parents would be hypnotized by it and become cultists.

Yeah thats a mean nerf to Commissars. Turn the immunity to Morale in exchange for a death, into a reroll instead. They can still be useful but it's a heavy nerf.

Safety Factor posted:Blight drones are made when beasts of Nurgle finally realize that they accidentally kill all of their friends and no one actually likes them. To be exact it's when they realize this and get pissed off about it. Particularly if they were killed by someone they were trying to play with and realize that person did not like them. The anger they now feel causes them to shed their skin and erupt as Rot Flies. Were they now kill people and laugh about if they were killed in the past they tend to seek out their killers and partially break how their bodies work opening up their mouths in a massive way that they can't do normally, to swallow their target whole, were their victim will spend eternity being mangled by disease and horrid slime in the Fly. Other then that the flies tend to just suck peoples heads off and laugh while doing so. And then they extrude the now plague infested skull which their plaugebearer rider will pick off to toss at people.
