Any advice/concerns about just taking some Vanguard detachments and just spamming Chaos Havoc squads?

Safety Factor posted:Good luck? That is a very valid concern. Well, too late to edit it now. What if I were to try the same thing, but with the Spearhead detachment? I would just try it and see, but only I play about once every two months.

Have a game planned for tonight: My list: 904 points Librarian Dreadnought (Storm Bolter) Death Company Dreadnought (Furioso Fists w/Melta Gun and Storm Bolter) 2x Furioso Dreadnought (Furioso Fists w/Melta Gun and Storm Bolter) Regular Dreadnought (Assault Cannon and DCCW w/Storm Bolter) VS. Tau list: 909 points 9x Crisis suits 2x Marker Drones My friend and I wanted to try a game with our favorite units from our favorite armies! I'll post some pictures/details later. I'm expecting a lot of kiting and frustration, but if I can get into melee, my Dreads should be able to rip them to shreds with their big meaty claws.

8th Edition Battle Report! The opposition: 900ish points of Tau Crisis Suits (One squad is waiting to deep strike and Farsight is hiding)  The home team: 900ish points of Blood Angel Dreadnoughts  The field of battle after enemy reinforcement arrived  A few turns later  Highlights include: -Librarian Dreadnought wrecking things with a combination of Smite and Blood Boil -A Furioso Dreadnought going from 8 wounds to 0 wounds from 1 round of fusion gun Overwatch fire -Librarian forgetting how to use Psychic powers and falling victim to Perils of the Warp 3 times -Farsight wrecking a Dreadnought in Close Combat! -Furioso Fists tearing through Crisis suits like tissue paper Ended up playing 3 games total in less than 4 hours. Low model count helped a bunch, but I also feel like the rules move a bit faster. Final Score: Blood Angels- 2, Tau- 0

Booley posted:With all your data how about a graph of how many people have loyalist marine armies and nothing else? Given that they've been in every single starter box ever, and are the main focus of most art, and are the most iconic army it makes sense that everyone would have them. It would be more interesting to know how many people stick to nothing but marines, and how many people branch out (and how many people don't have marines at all) When I was first starting, I wanted to go with Necrons. The fine folks at my Friendly Local Games Store pointed me toward Space Marines because they said it would be easier to learn with them! ....2000 points of Blood Angels later, it turns out they just all thought Necrons were cheesy and didn't want to play against them.

Pendent posted:There's definitely a few weird issues but we're strong enough that I think we may actually see some use in tournaments. Maybe not on the top table but we'll at least have a fighting chance. Truth. As a Blood Angels player and long time complainer, I'm really happy with this Codex. At first I was unhappy about the 6++ on Death Company instead of previous editions' 5+ Feel No Pain, but after considering the changes to AP and the removal of Instant Death I think it balances out.

Almost forgot, I played a game recently! 4,000 point Necron vs Tau game as a last hurrah before they get a codex. Used the Open War cards and ended up with a weird deployment. Our objective was The Comet, so after two turns of exchanging fire the objective lands on the table. Fortunately it landed by my 20 strong Warriors squad and their Cryptek babysitter. End of turn 5, he wasn't able to move them off the objective, securing me the win!

In the midst of a 6+ month losing streak. I have one friend that I play against. He has 8 armies to my 3 (BA, Necrons, Chaos Marines), so I never really know what to anticipate/bring when building a list while he has a pretty good idea what to expect from me. On top of that, I have been having comically poor dice rolls lately. I get that losing is a part of the game, but our games aren't even close. Whether they're Eternal War, Maelstrom, or even Open War, I have just been getting annihilated. Assuming this post will be ignored, but just had to vent.

Pendent posted:Pick whichever army you like best and focus on getting as good as you can with it. If you post what sort of lists you like to run we can give some tips. I personally play Blood Angels and know the army pretty well. Thanks! Blood Angels are my preferred army. We play at different points levels all the time (which may not help things), but a typical BA list for me incorporates "Slamguinius", Assault Squads (Melta guns), a full Death Company blob accompanied by Lemartes, and Dev Squads (Lascannon) in the backfield. Everything else is sort of in flux. I know I want the forward assault units and the heavy units in the back, but I'm never sure what to use for midfield objective holding/fire support. Never sure how to kit out a Tactical Squad, so I'm thinking of just getting Intercessors and trying those out. And they'd help fill out a Battalion Detachment to generate some more Command Points. I might still consider SURPRISE KNIGHTS and just hope he doesn't play his Knights. Thankfully he at least asks if it's cool or gives me a heads up before he plays those.

Pendent posted:[Snipped] I certainly appreciate it, and it has given me a bit to think about. I didn't even realize Company Veterans were a thing, but I can easily see dropping the Assault Squads for some Vanguard Vets. I mostly stuck with Assault Marines out of habit, though they do tend to disappoint. May look into more tanks for fire support, I currently have a handful a Vindicator, a Las Razorback, a Land Raider, and a few Rhinos that could become something else with the right turrets. A couple of questions: -For Intercessors, do you tend to go with a minimum or a full squad? I'm guessing min sized to fill out 2 Battalions. -Are Sanguinary Guard any good? I've only used them once this edition. -Is there an effective way to use Mephiston? I keep wanting to put him in my lists, but I can't ever think of what he would actually DO. -Which HQs do you use in your lists?

Hey thread, I tried out the new Ork codex in a 1000 point game against my buddy and I scored a solid victory. Death Skulls Kultur was the MVP, it was a fun game overall. My forces: (Death Skulls) 2x Warboss (My Warlord had the +1 Toughness WT and Supa Cybork Body to make him Ded Ard) 30 Boyz with Slugga/Choppa 24 Boyz with Shoota 10 Gretchin 10 Burna Boyz in a Trukk 7 Lootas 1 Deff Dread with 2 Klaws and 2 Skorchas His forces: (Drukhari) 3 Patrols of vehicles holding things that didn't like being charged by 30 Boyz

I have played 4 games with my Orks since the codex dropped and I have won all 4 of them. Between "Dakka Dakka Dakka", my Death Skulls re-rolls, Da Jump, and the Unstoppable Green Tide strat, you can get some really swingy turns. Plus, I love rolling lots of dice.

Here's my Blood Angels Kill Team I'll be using in a game on Friday. Not the prettiest, but I didn't want to field grey plastic. I'd like to introduce you to Kain's Legacy: Intercessor Sergeant Turel (Leader) Reiver Sergeant Raziel (Scout) Intercessor Gunner Melchiah (Veteran) Intercessor Gunner Rahab (Sniper) Intercessor Dumah Reiver Zephon Curious to see how they'll play. Thinking I might end up taking another Intercessor and having Raziel be my sole Reiver.

Just wanted to say a quick "Thank you" to whoever posted a link to that Games Workshop Battle Ready painting video last week. They won't be winning any awards, but it certainly beats Fielding gray plastic. Forcing myself to paint one a day until it's done. Which will be never.

 Here's my 1 mini a day painting progress after 3 weeks. Ish. Adds up much faster than my usual "Set out to paint a bunch of minis at once, get overwhelmed, end up painting nothing, and repeat this process in 3 months" Any advice on fleshing out my AdMech into a full army? Right now I have the Techpriest Dominus, 20 Vanguard, and 10 Rangers. I'm thinking a Start Collecting box is in my future, but then what?

I am really loving all the AdMech discussion, thank you so much for the advice. Question regarding Icarus Array vs Neutron Laser, my opponent most frequently plays Tau, so I am usually facing down a lot of models with the Fly keyword, would that make the Icarus Array more of a lock? Edit: Also, could someone point me to a decent 1000-1250 point base for an army list? I know the adage is "Get what looks cool", but all of AdMech looks cool to me. Except the electropriests.
