Also, I can't bring multiple veteran squads with different types of weapons. When I change the special weapons on one it changes the special weapons on all of them.

You couldn't possibly use all of those re-rolls in a 6 turn game because you don't have a psyker.

My list for a 2000 point game on Tuesday. The strategy seems pretty self explanatory: advance/absorb with Pask, the Demolisher, and Guard blob. The HW squad, platoon commander and Battle Cannon LRs play the back field. Vets play the middle ground and react to how the game goes/capture objectives late game. Storm Troopers will basically do the same. ++ Spearhead Detachment +1CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [53 PL, 895pts] ++ + HQ + Knight Commander Pask [14 PL, 247pts]: Lascannon, Plasma Cannons .

Soldier o Fortune posted:Looks good. Would you benefit from Vox casters to ensure you can get orders to the right units when needed? And perhaps at least one Commissar to keep those squads in the game? Plan is to have one company commander hang out with the psyker and commissar amongst the three units of guard. It shouldn't be too hard to make sure they all stay in coherency and within 6" of the buff characters. The second commander will be in a chimera with the plasma vets and a vox. The meltavets have vox too and are basically the only unit likely to need vox.

I just realized the "fix bayonets" order probably includes 6" of pile-in and consolidation moves. Could be useful for bubble-wrapping with conscripts.

The rules allow for some stupid looking meta-stuff and last I looked some of the youtubers hadn't figured out extremely simple poo poo like mixing characters into units.

Mixing characters into units mostly. Lots of people think you have to conga-line your mobs back towards their buffers. You don't. Just put the buffers inside the mob, there's nothing that says you can't.

It's only a problem if you roll poorly a bunch of times. If I was an ork player I'd put my boss exactly slightly behind the farthest ahead boy in my mob and then just pull from the back every time. Worst case scenario is a boss behind but still in buff range of the boyz.

You still have to pay a point cost equivalent to the full strength unit. You could bring one grot as a troop choice but you'd have to pay the cost of a full squad.

Would you mind elaborating on your friends' armies? That's a though list but It doesn't seem too beardy. When someone in my friend group stumbles across a really strong list we will talk through what they think might counter it/what they are scared of coming up against. If nobody can beat the list and it isn't fun to play against then you might as well switch it up outside of competitive play. Or you could try giving your opponents some extra points or something. My first impression is that they should try and get good though. Some people just haven't adjusted to the new 8th edition turn 2 assault meta.

The ultramarine tactics are concerning. They are super good and it's easy to imagine GW loving the whole game up again with dogshit faction rules. They should have released chaos or deldar faction rules first to show they aren't planning on throwing those factions in the trash again this edition.

JesusIsTehCool posted:I think I would rather have an even more broken game (I don't think 8th is ever close to being balanced) that has more interesting rules and variation. Every army having some reroll bubble thing is boring. When my Dark Angel army feels similar to playing my nids army something is wrong. I'll be happy if the variations are actually interesting. 7th's formations were really cool for tau, marines, and elder but everybody else got hosed. I'm really happy about 8th and I'm not trying to chicken little here or anything. All I said was that the Ultramarine's special rules are concerning. If every faction's special rules are equally cool then it will be great for the game.

Frrriiick. Commissars and conscripts have been my favorite since like three editions ago and I was stoked on how good they were on the index. At least vanilla LRs look like they are worth fielding again. Can I still field a wave of mans now that conscripts aren't great and commissars are clearly awful?
