Jack B Nimble posted:Speaking of the novels, What are the best three books in the Horus Heresy? I hear some people swear X is great, some people think X is actually bad; I'm a bit on the picky side when it comes to fiction but I liked Eisenhorn, and I figure if I get a cross section of what people think is the best of the best I can't go far wrong. Saturnine is probably way up at the top for me but it’s pretty deep in the endgame of the series. First heretic and betrayer follow each other and are also really good.

How are the various melee weapon options in the new edition? I got the impression that it was all power axes all the time before and the other weapons weren’t great. Did they make 2 handed chain swords worth using because they look awesome.

Following up my melee weapon question, how are bikes of all varieties in the new edition? I heard they took a bit of a kicking. I had started putting together a melee focused outrider squad for my white scars with just bolters on the bikes, is that still okay? I’m not really looking for maximum power gaming efficiency here. I swear I actually have ordered the new rules and army lists, I’ve just been stuck at work since June.

BULBASAUR posted:The bike rule changes are kinda strange, but if you ignore how bikes behaved in 1.0, in 2.0 they're priced fairly competitively though not all their rules compliment well. In practice they favor shooting over combat, so that hit and run rule is better thought of as a defensive way of getting out of unfavorable melee than charging in by yourself. The 5+ DM roll is going to help you maybe once or twice a game when you're moving into position. SkyeAuroline is also right on in that command squads on bikes are the best way to run melee bikes. Comically, jetbikes, which are only a tiny bit better, cost a ton more points and are not worth it command squads or special characters I guess my outriders are now a command squad. 🤷♀️ Now I just need to work out a way to model a bike riding standard bearer that doesn’t look like a marine attempting to cosplay a sailing ship.

If one were wanting to create a power armoured command squad of the rudest gentlemen to accompany a praetor on foot, what loadout would you consider? I already have 4 guys with axes/combat shields and a standard bearer with a fist that I’ve been working on but I’ve heard they can go up to 9 in the squad now? Should I mix in some other power weapons or lightning claws or just go ham on the axes? I just want to throw them all in a land raider and make poor life choices.

Yvonmukluk posted:What legion? If it's Sons of Horus, you can take a Chieftain Squad from the exemplary battles pdf. Power Axes (upgraded to the Carcosan ones, since you already have a boarding shield) and banestrike bolters for everyone! Death guard, so they might have rad grenades so I’m thinking of throwing some power mauls in there too.

adamantium|wang posted:Power mauls with rad grenades make sense at first glance, but most of the 2W+ guys you're trying to double out will be rocking a 2+ save and won't be too worried by them. Axes could work but have the opposite problem: they'll get through the armour but need to do it more than once to kill a dude. If you're looking at throwing the squad at 3+ saves take swords, mauls or lightning claws, hunting 2+ will be fists and hammers. You could also just keep them cheap with chainswords to eat casualties and still put out a respectable amount of damage at WS5. Mauls would be the choice if you're thinking of fighting lots of Mechanicum after their book comes out. 🤔 I might stick with the axes with a dabbling of fists or hammers. I’ve been using the phalanx warder shield and axe arms on mkv armour and it looks rad as heck. MkV armour owns.

SkyeAuroline posted:Sprue 1 (the sprue in the AoD kit, with the AC/las/HB) does. Sprue 2 (conversion beamer/volkite) is missing the two rectangular blocks that the arm slots into the shoulder with, so you would need a copy of sprue 1 (or cast or printed spare blocks) to fit them. That’s….certainly an interesting design choice.

So can someone explain to me how exactly I should consider loading out Cataphractii? I haven’t actually played so I don’t know how much I should focus on worrying about mixing rapid fire/assault weapons. Like if I have some auto cannon and Combi bolters that squad can’t shoot and charge right? But then if I put in plasma blasters instead then does the rest of the squad need Volkite chargers? Also do the forgeworld Volkite charger kits fit Cataphractii arms?

Holy poo poo they’re rereleasing Aevos Jovan and the missing auxilia rapier teams. Jovans currently rarer than hens teeth and costs a fortune if you wanted him. I just paid far too much for a complete auxilia transfer sheet, I wonder if that’s coming back too.

There isn’t a melee upgrade set for the new Mkvi marines yet so if you want mass despoilers it’s a lot of expensive forgeworld resin despoilers and chain axe kits.

Rules question, any sons of Horus can exchange their power weapon for a Carsoran axe/Tabar and Justaerin come stock with a Carsoran axe and can replace them with power weapons. Are you able to go Carsoran axe>power weapon>Carsoran Tabar? Seems a bit odd if so because why the heck would you take the stock axe if you can swap to the Tabar for free.

Looking at the new blood angels weapon sprue it looks like it has the same confusion as the sons of Horus one, what kit are you supposed to use the fancy one handed bolters with? because they don’t give you any arms for those in the kit, the tac squad doesn’t have any that go with them and in the resin despoiler upgrade both the bolt pistols and chainswords are one piece with the arms. Where does that leave you, trying to source the new assault squad arms (good luck) or chopping up resin despoiler kits? Also, in the sons of Horus kit they give you two combi banestrikes which as far as I can tell literally nobody can choose to take.

Broken Record Talk posted:My guess is that they expect you to use the arms for the Sargeant pistol weapons, or to chop up another resin kit, which is relatively standard for FW kits. I think literally the only ones who can are terminator praetors. I mean Justaerin and some chars have them but like, they already ‘have’ them on the models. You could definitely use one of the one handed bolters on the tac sarge but they are a mix of right and left handed so…🤷♀️

I see Endryd is getting a mini with the new book. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/02/15/heresy-thursday-endryd-haar-punches-the-heads-off-world-eaters-in-the-battle-for-beta-garmon/ Speculation time since a few new mkV resin characters are starting to crop up, how the gently caress are they going to handle the amount of studs on mkV armour if they also do a plastic release? The amount of complaining over the two part mkVI shoulder was ridiculous and they did that to make the studs properly round.

To be fair the resin mkV are rad as gently caress. Mould is showing its age though you get a lot of bad slip on the legs, had to carve off the studs on some of mine in order to fix them.
