reposting question>>85533108
>>85533119Have all your basics in bealie helms and all ypur artifact armour with the faction specific ones
>>85533117
>>85533119Mix is best imo, including armour marks amongst a squad
>>85531654 #Based and objectively correct. In the same vein, IW and DG in anything but MkIII is wrong.
WOULD IT BE WRONG WOULD IT BE RIGHTIF I TOOK MY LIFE TONIGHT CHANCES ARE THAT I MIGHT
>Wolf skull helmets are okay>Wolf head helmets somehow ain't
>>85533208the ear vents are adorable
>>85533234No those are trash too.
>>85533173>mk6 part - correct>mk3 part - lol, lmao
>>85533245>thing bad because youtube man says so
>>85533173To be fair im starting a nightlords army to use my beakies rather than adding them to my bitter boys.
What about furry titans?
>>85533234>>85533255>baits this hardkek, go to /lgbt/ you can get more (you)s than here
>>85533223How so? he still has his more I = more attacks thing and he wounds everything on 2+.
>>85533237But why would they need extra ventilation on their head?

report from last thread:how are legion arquitors? and which weapon would best fit them? I am planning on using them in the IW ironfire rite of war.
>>855334117 inch blasts sound cool at least
>>85533421at least I will have something at 7 inches i guess
>>85533401/ourguy/
>>85533401A GW bad outrage youtuber. The El Paso shooter was a fan of his.
>>85533117I can't get over how the helmets look from the front. They look like they are laughing like Beavis and Butthead
>>85533208At least the ear vents have a gothic arch shape to them. Maybe the heads can be used on Adeptus Titanicus models for an AT scale space wolf themed Imperial Knight.
>>85533234das rite. Skulls are edgy and cool. Normal heads just bring up the repressed furry thought in sw players
>>85533444the real problem is the furry porn smile that can't be unseen. There's no way to fix that.
>>85533433No
>>85533454>There's no way to fix thatGreenstuff
>>85533403>strawmans to get (you)swhore
>>85533477>y...you know guys, they can akshuly workrope yourself
>>85533411>how are legion arquitors?Bad, but so is artillery in general so...The grav bombard is kinda interesting.
>>85533277Problem with Fulgrim is that he's literally the only Primarch who has no ID due to special rule or strenght, no brutal, and has no good Murderous Strike being just 5+. Literally everyone has one (or most or all) of the following but no Fulgrim. He was also gutted buffwise as well (having one of the most useless rules in the game pretending to be something) and at the moment there's literally no reason to take him imho. And I find it hillarious that he has no Skill Unmatched.
Whats the difference, visually, between a standard marine and a sons of horus reaver? Is it just the color pattern or do they use a special pattern of armor?
>>85533411IWfags should finally understand that the days of Ironfire are over and that they should move to different RoW.
Is Marduk Sedras good and worth taking?
>>85533579
>>85533411Trash unless you want mobile Phosphex. Also >>85533552 is a fag who hasn't been on the receiving end of 3 Whirlwinds and 3 quadsIron Fire is still good but you're locked into using rocket artillery to kill marines since bug guns are only useful for ID and vehicles
>>85533102Is there a way for EC Cataphractii Terminators to get deep strike? Played a game against EC last night and only lost because he placed his terminators behind me and killed all my shit. Probably should've called him out on it but he was pretty insistent his guys could arrive from reserves like that so I wasn't sure
>>85533600>Is there a way for EC Cataphractii Terminators to get deep strike?No, they are not Imperial Fists, sorry. Post models btw.
>>85533591and the rapiers?was planning on something like>3 rapiers >2 arquitors>2 units of tacs on rhino>a big unit of tacs on spartan>5-10 tyrants with a siege breaker>2 iron circles and a warsmith for some punch
>>85533600Did he bring a warmonger? If not then you got played.
>>85533579I wouldn't take him normally however he's seems to be quite good at wrecking SoH termies because not only his sword is S9 meaning they won't hide behind that -1S but also it lowers invuls by -1 so Cataphractifags are 5++ instead of 4++. And his PE starting aura is really good.
>>85533616>>3 rapiers Solid>>2 arquitorsBad, get whirlwinds>>2 units of tacs on rhinoSolid>>a big unit of tacs on spartanIf you are using mk6 I will hit you.>>5-10 tyrants with a siege breaker10 should kill everything that isn't a leviathan, but remmeber you are fucking terminators.

Remove titanishit. It doesn't contribute and has no right to piggyback on /hhg/. Fucking do it, you know I'm right and keeping it in the OP and topic is wrong.
>>85533600>"he placed his terminators behind me" is perfectly fine if he was using shit like Maru Skara that allows outflank, you might have confused DS with arriving from reserves by flanking assault.
>>85533616They're nice with Pinning and shred, IMO none of the shell options are worth it. I just take Phosphex for area denialIdk what your plan for the Warsmith is but I'm never sure about footslogging mine>I don't run iron circle
>>85533641>tyrants>meleeBait.
>>85533591>on the receiving end of 3 Whirlwinds and 3 quadsso terrifying.
>>85533641>says big unit of tacticals in a spartan are legit>says Tyrants may make melee>says to take even more Iron Circlefaggot stop cosplaying as a gamer, it's jsut embarassing
>>85533641>If you are using mk6 I will hit you.come get me. at least I am converting the helmets to reduce the number of beakies>10 should kill everything that isn't a leviathan, but remmeber you are fucking terminators. Ride the Spartan so you have extra survivability and may actually make melleewouldn't riding the spartan with the tyrants reduce the shooting powers of them? they would probably lose 1 turn at the least, and is it woth it to send them in a fight? Anyway I was considering two units of 5 to deal with multiple targets. But I will try your idea in a match, it might work anyway>2 is bad, a contemptor will absolutely kill one Of you and then probbably not die from the lone brobots return swing.I have purchased 2 for now, 85 euros each is really hurting me....
>>85533644It was only an 800 pt game tho so no RoW and his warlord was a psyker. I think he just didn't know the rules well; he said he wanted to take a full squad of dreadnoughts but he couldn't figure out how to do it at 800 pts
>>85533654
>>85533433This.
>>85533671>85 euros
is this head scoopity poop or poopity scoop?
>>85533694It's poopity poop.

>>85533488Oh no, that's not what i meant. Just saying that any time someone says "can't be fixed", the answer is greenstuff.
>>85533695>Mocked relentlessly for this heads>Probably didn't sell well at all>HEY I KNOW GUYS LET'S TRY SELLING THEM AGAIN
What's a good price for all 40 AoD beakies on ebay?
>>85533752Sold mine for 16-20€/10

>>85533693>Ironyonglmao I died
>>85533234These are the best FW Space Wolves sculpts and they are still sitting on the bad/mediocre boundary.

How chaosy is too chaosy for late heresy nightlords?
>>85533823do hwatever you want anon, NL are shit meme anyway.
>>85533823Remove the spikes and teeth, then use (30k) NL heads and shoulderpads. That should do it.
>>85533693can you give me his link
>>85533823We already told you, NL raptors got claw feet at worst, and even dudes in bed with daemons like the Painted Count weren't really warped. So shut the fuck up and get the mkIV assault squad + NL heads if you don't like the FW raptors kit.
>>85533823>unironicaly wanting to use these shit modelskek
>>85533928Some "people" will go to any length to not work with le scawwy resin
>>85533711Is greenstuff really the dynamite solution to these models? Granted I've never used greenstuff but plan on trying to give a miniature a tabard and "hood collar" around the head.
>>85532994>>85533035I can see those guys being great can openers, even with twin fists they're not much more expensive than normal power fist terminators. Run them with Dark Brethren, get that weapon skill up to 5 or even 6. Failing that just deep strike them in and try to crack as many tanks on the DS charge as possible.
>>85534019With greenstuff you can do anything you want
>>85533768I'm trying the same, but it's just not selling. Maybe the entire lot of 40 is too much, guess i'll take it down and split it.
>>85533119With Tacticals, I would have one upgrade piece per three models (excluding Sergeant). So in a full 20-man squad, 6-7 marines will have a helmet or torso upgrade. Veterans will get a helmet and torso upgrade each.
>>85533579Yeah he's pretty good, especially if you're playing an Eskaton force, which it seems like most DA players are saying they will.

>>85534518godlike
dubskis are there any tutorials online for turning greenstuff into the cables of mk V armor? i wanna convert my beakies into mk V, the studs are easy but its the cabling on the thighs thatll be a problem since i have never used green stuff

>>85533234Newfriend, those were mocked to hell and back when THEY were released.
>>85534641You buy/print roller plates.
>>85533234What confuses me the most about Deathsworn is that the fur on THESE guys is absolutely fine. Nothing wrong with the sculpting.Yet the varangyr fur looks like absolute shit.Like... what the fuck happened? Deathsworn fur doesn't look like fucking bananas.With a helmet swap Deathsworn are fine models

Ah, so THAT'S why they don't get along with GK's....
>>85534873Why not post the original one?
>>85534836Yes.
What are you running your artificer praetor with for a squad?
>>85534963JUSTaerin

>>85534828Rad
>>85534963Thallax, because I'm a cool dude
>>85534828Literally no reason to play them.
>>85534828Rip. I guess they are Heavy type Mortalis Destroyers with a chem flamer instead of two chem pistols, but that's it.Or, they are Tactical Support squads with Heavy type taken as Elites instead of troops
>>85534518Alright :^)
I don't hate the helmets, per se
>>85534799I made a loud cackle
>>85533102this is definitely a boomer question but does anyone still have access to the HH audiobooks? I remember there being a link out there on one of these threads to all of them. Regardless, does anyone have any recommendations on where to start?
>>85535877Start at the beginning, go to the end, and then stop.
>>85535877I recommend you don't read them.

Looking to get into the game with the new edition and I'm trying to pick a legion.Narrowed it down, more or less, to either Thous Sons or Death Guard, anybody have some quick pros and cons about either one?
>>85536554It creates a nice setpiece, even if the rules aren't great. That makes it kino.
>>85536644>BL tranny desperately defends the "lore" because it's all he has
>>85536666>setpiece>kinowhat are you even talking about?
>>85536526I'm not, I'm going to bring a Mechanicum primary detachment and then ally a Delegatus, his 20 Despoiler or Assault Marine friends and a Mhara Gal or two. The Dark Brethren buff can be applied to any of your units, Sworn Brothers or no Sworn Brothers.

>>85536736>good special unitsI have to admit, Khenetai are starting to grow on me this edition. They seem like the best 3+ blender in the game, hands down.
>>85536700Not him but those flying Thallax are bad and I don't know why you are so excited about them. 4+ T5 is easier to take down than 3+ T4.
>>85536765weird way of spelling dark furies bro
>>85536765>They seem like the best 3+ blender in the game, hands downYeah, they are great but keep in mind that they require 2 psychic tests to make the most of their shit and that's not really great.

>>85536870>ld9 is good but it's not ld10I mean with that kind of argument you can just about dismiss any unit.>he might dieThis is the major weakpoint of every TSon army because at that point you lose the arcana anyway.
Anon who suggested Effrit Squad for the AL exemplary unit:I previously never liked your idea, but I noticed one major battlefield role the legion doesn't have is a special retinue, and a light, shooty retinue would be p cool. Now I kinda like the idea.
>>85536901>I mean with that kind of argument you can just about dismiss any unit.I know but in TS case it matters very much. Loss of higher Ld = more chance to Peril = losing more dudes by your own hand. It might look like strawman but TS got the short end of the stick with how their rules are written this edition.
>>85536939It's not his idea it's a concept as old as Book3 and speculation that followed about future units.>one major battlefield role the legion doesn't have is a special retinueretinue is not a battlefield role>and a light, shooty retinue would be p coolHeadhunters, Recons, Vets.
>esoterist can take an archaeotech pistol>which then competes with void darts and its 12 deflagrating shotsIs there any circumstance where you'd even want to use the archaeotech pistol while Void Darts exists? I could see it with a lower shot count, but 1 MC Rending shot doesn't even compare.
>>85537068>Is there any circumstance where you'd even want to use the archaeotech pistol while Void Darts exists?If you're using the new SoH praetor with it as an esoterist for wysiwyg purposes

>>85537243You laugh, but you can put a vigil storm shield on a moritat now. He won't get the two weapon bonus attack in CC, but he can still shoot all his guns somehow.
>>85537387Frankly, that's exactly the kind of autistic shit Rogal would approve. A Moritat would attempt to kit up, and Rogal would grimace at him until he sheepishly picks up a shield and sword.
>>85537483I like to imagine he fires his disintegrators on the far side of it to get the 3++ against AP2 gets hot.
>>85537387Wait, I can give him THREE boarding shields AND a combat shield!

>>85537736...You. I do not care for you.
>>85537195Do double disintegrator moritats fuck up terminators pretty hard? Seems like it'd be alright on a cursory glance.
>>85537736Never heard of you
Would a converted Black Templars Castellan work for an Iron Warriors Esoterist? It's a pretty decent model.
>>85536094Black Library books are trash with no exceptions. Don't be a nuWarhammer faggot and read Warhammer books, but instead read other books and use those as inspiration for Warhammer ideas. That's one of the problems with the nuwriters. Their inspiration is Warhammer (and poorly written, at that).
>>85537125Indeed. I feel it's a bit of a shame not to take all the potential consul-specific upgrades, even if they're suboptimal.
>>85537921this made me chuckle
>>85537483>haha so heckin cute and funnyfuck off to b&c fistfaggot
>>85537976>Black Library books are trash with no exceptionsi think some are aight desu but i havent liked a single HH one
>>85537921Absolutely, but keep in mind he's about the same size as the plastic praetors.
>>85537983Not sure why because it's a genuine question. The bulkiness of the model is pretty nice, and I like the axe and pose, really. I'd have to cut away some templar shit and add some things but overall I personally think it could work.Also, second question: do the studs have to be on the left side of the Mk VI? I don't really see any resources about it because everything focuses on the other marks, so I'm also genuinely curious about that.
>>85537976>Black Library books are trash with no exceptionsYou're such a mindless retard. Most of them are hot stinking garbage but to say that all of them are shit is a peak of sweaty, fat faggot (that is you).
>>85537483Holy shit, you stupid fucking faggot parasocial nigger. Rogal Dorn isn't your friend and just because he's horribly written like everything else in the shitty publications doesn't mean you should make it even worse by writing even shittier fan-fiction of fan-fiction. I think I legitimately got a tumor reading this.
>>85537978>wasting good helmet lol
>>85537978Same energy.
>>85538030He probably enjoys IF gay fanfiction and all that deviantart homoerotic art where HH characters are cute, awkward have reddish noses and blush like faggots.
>>85537978No matter what people will do, this model is piece of shit.
>>85536792>>85536806>>85536807They are good but Companions are the best.
>>85538011Studs are on the left side with production mkVI because that's the side that was most likely to take damage and needed heavier armor, but from various other models, mostly mkIV and mkV, we see them on either or both sides. The studs are an easy way to produce replacement pieces or affect quick repairs to damaged armor and can be used wherever you feel is appropriate. The more you have - and the more they're not limited to the left pauldron - the more battleworn and ramshackle the model will appear.Replacing the studded pad would be perfectly fine. If a better constructed part is available, why wouldn't it be used?Swapping the studded pad to the right would be unorthodox and hard to justify, but not impossible. I can see some marines disregarding practicality and putting the normal pauldron on the left so their heraldry is more visible to the enemy.
>>85537387>You laugh, but you can put a vigil storm shield on a moritat now.I think IF should be quarantined by principle. Amount of OP rules they get is literally Wardian and signal should be sent that such thing should not be tolerated.
>>85538124>Studs are on the left side with production mkVI because that's the side that was most likely to take damage and needed heavier armor, but from various other models, mostly mkIV and mkV, we see them on either or both sides. The studs are an easy way to produce replacement pieces or affect quick repairs to damaged armor and can be used wherever you feel is appropriate.This is just retarded. I know it's actual fluff but it's just retarded and that's it.
Fuck, I hate what they did with challanges. No wounds spillover is a shity, cancerous mechanics and shitting up "chosen warriors" on lots of units doesn't help either.
>>85538030you will never be a woman

What's the story of your dudes?What did they do during the Siege?
>>85537781Half of your 2/3 wounds of your 5/6 hits of every shot will be saved. That's 5/18 unsaved wounds per shot, or causing 10/18 W per shot (because instant death)Meanwhile, shooting wounds you 2/18 of the time.Hammer Cataphractii cost 25 per wound (175+5*15)Double Disintegration Moritats cost 145. On foot and with no blade. That's 72.5 per woundShooting a disintegration pistol will get you 10/18 * 25 at a cost of 2/18 * 72.5So, 13.88 - 8.05 = 5.84Shooting a disintegration pistol earns you +5.84 pts

>>85538127A funny example of these weird double standards for some legions is The Lion himself. He has a plasma pistol, it is described as such in fluff and crunch, but it gets to benefit from the Stormwing rule just because.
>>85538323Yeah this thread is for getting super fucking butt blasted at people asking rules questions. No fluff allowed.
>>85538127I don't know if you joke or not but this is a policy I took and I have no regrets. I do it without malice just explain that playing against IF is not an experience I enjoy and strangely people accept that (2 players actually).
>>85537736>didn't have the balls to actually commit to something radically different and instead half-assed itClassic Night Lords
>>85538402You don't play the game.
>>85538323Literally everything wrong with this general in one post.
>>85538393>Model with BS6 getting literally useless +1 to hit that prevents him and his unit using other -wing bonus>double standards and undfair
>>85538471It gives him an exceptionally shitty version of twin linked.
>>85538393>>85538429>unironicaly comparing slew of OP shit IF got to Lion's +1 to hit with his plasma Lmao, it's great to discover that antiDA seether is also IF fagglet.
>>85538471It doesn't prevent him from using anything, no one is taking Stormwing to buff his pistol. It's just a pointless, unsupportable buff he doesn't need because some legions get to enjoy everything at once while others have to pick and choose their gimmicks. Why is this thread so aggressive and stupid today? Fuck off.
>>85538502Take your meds, schizo
>>85538524There's some weird, overly aggressive spazz who doomscrolls the general during American work hours.
>>85538524HAve you even checked how Hexagramaton rules work anon? Do you realize that only one -wing trait works at the time and you can't stack -wing traits regardless how many different -wing models are in the unit? Also you bringing up that one thing when every IF model gets +1 to hit with Bolt and Auto weapons is a perfect example of fucking retarded hypocrisy and it's you who should fuck off.
>>85538524>Why is this thread so aggressive and stupid today>says the faggot who started sperging about Lion's gun lmao
>>85538619Literally nobody is saying Lion getting stormwing is on the same tier as IF, they're saying it's yet another stupid exception in the rules.You would see that if you weren't so fucking anal annihilated over a game you don't play.
>>85538524>It doesn't prevent him from using anythingYes, it does, you have to choose Hexagrammaton sub-type bonus at the start of the turn, meaning that if you take Stormwing for the (useless) +1 to hit with your gun, both Lion and his unit can't benefit from anything else other that +1 to hit with Lion's plasma and/or +1 to hit with bolt pistols and bolters on the unit he has joined.

>>85533440The weirdest thing is that in profile they're the best wolf-head helmets GW has made in at least the last 25 years. And yet straight on they're irredeemably horrendous. I think GW just needs to shelve the idea entirely.
>>85538871Please, I beg you, go seek help. Standing on your soapbox and yelling in this thread like the insane homelessman you will inevitably become is not helping your situation.
>>85538127>>85538393It's always interesting that when times when IF are called out on being OP there's always someone who instantly goes with "oh, yeah? check out DA".
>>85538393Compared to what IF got Legion wide and how ridiculously buffed Dorn was no Legion has anything close. I don't know why you even find a problem with lion's plasma because it is literally insignificant and, as others pointed out, it's a worthless trap-buff.

>>85539251Stormwing lets the Lion's plasma shooty get +1 to hit. Some claim this is near worthless, because he has BS6. Other recognize it as being nearly as powerful as the IF's entire LA trait.Also the Space Wolves have ugly hats.

>>85539226good use of the DG dread
>>85539353Nobody actually cares about SoT anon. A substantial portion of the traitors couldn't be bothered to show up, or stay until the end, with the rest just faffing about. Even most loyalist don't give a shit about Terra being besieged. The SW coulnd't be arsed to stay and defend, RG are just somewhere out there chilling, DA just skipped the SoT and decided to go straight to The Scouring, the UM focus on cleaning up their own empire, and everybody forgot about IH existing again. SoT is a fucking joke, and everybody has already moved on before it even started.

>>85538269a fellowship of tsons led by a triumverate of a sorcerer, praetor, and a primus medicae. after the burning of prospero, all of them went traitor and the sorcerer was duped by outside forces into delving DEEP into the warp's bullshit while the primus medicae DESPISES sorcery. like he hates that shit (he used to be a master of signals but i saw a cool way to convert a primus medicae so i changed him). the primus medicae is basically begrugingly taitor, he hates the warp, he hates what the weirdos in the 17th legion call "the primordial truth", and he hates sorcery. psychic shit? to a certain extent, but sorcery is *evil*. however, he loves his brothers and father WAYYYY too much to be a loyalist. the praetor is kinda just in between the two, keeping them from going at eachother. also the primus medicae despises destroyers, mostly because of the damage it does to the bodies of the destroyers themselves, but the sorcerer demanded their work be done (i still dont know how i should paint the destroyers but theyll be mk II assault destroyers). during the heresy they were basically Magnus's errand boys outside of the eye of terror, doing busy work, collecting armor, etc. they have a limited supply of mk VI despite this, and instead trick their tacticals in mk V (atm theyre just mk VI but ima convert em using ball bearings, new heads, and green stuff). at the siege they were with magnus running his shit in fury of magnus, but stayed after he left. they didnt abandon the siege till the warmaster died and returned to the eye just in time for the rubric to occur and for most of /mydudes/ to become dusty boys and for the wizards of my legion to feel internal contempt for the rest of time. also they have legions upon legiuons of tzaangors and cultists led by a guy with a little daemon growing out of him (think vilitch from fantasy but he has a bolter, chainsword, and the little daemon thing has a power sword). so yeah, theyre vibing, just the wrong vibe

>>85539780here they are in their unpainted glory… still waiting for those containers to protect from dust (as thematic as that would be)
>>85539353They aren't getting nerfed, that's just those specific legions acting very in character.Horus knew that the legions that sided with him were the worst ones. Prone to the petty bickering and squabbling that lead to their feelings of alienation from the Emperor, which would lead directly to the Heresy. Horus has the proverbial losers. Would you really expect an army lead by superhuman Bobby Brigs to stay focused on any kind of objective for very long?
>>85539959>acting very in characterPert rage-quitting instead of sticking around to spite Dorn was extremely out of character.
>>85539322Does that +1 effect the reroll he gets?
>>85539790Ireton MaSade was the Lord Marshal of the Solar Auxilia. Been in the army since the earliest days of the great crusade, he became known for his courage, tenacity, and intelligence. His life was extended by bionics and his accomplishments were only outmatched by the astartes. By the Horus Heresy he was retired, however upon hearing word of traitors he was overcome with rage and set out destroying every traitor he came across. Most infamously, he slaughtered the parliament on Agathon after many of them tried to side with Horus.
>>85539999based as shit, nice digits btw>>85539987he stayed out of a promise to horus, the horus he made that promise too didnt eixst anymore, maybe his logical autism shone through for once

>>85540089In most situations +1S and Breaching (5+) will be better than Rending (6+).
>>85539770I quite like their style, the iconography and the gold and grey colour scheme is more eye-catching than the 40k Guard.They have a couple of nice moments over Istvaan III and with MaSade, but otherwise they just don't get enough screentime to do very much. I don't recall them getting any actually bad fluff as opposed to nonexistent fluff though.
>>85537976>he claims that Eisenhorn is trash Not only do you have subhuman tier garbage taste, you are also objectively wrong

>>85540165>>85540181yeah i agree those books are overrated idk what the fuck first anon was thinking
Siege Breaker primed. Taking a break before painting.
>>85539959>Horus knew that the legions that sided with him were the worst ones.if you want to go with the extremely biased BL views on the HH then yes the traitors are the worst legions. but if you look at it from black books the only one that operated at a subpar level was the NL and they still got shit done despite punching well above their weight class. taking BL as the gospel despite knowing how biased it presents both sides is a low IQ take and you should feel ashamed for doing so.
>>85540165Lol this post is hilarious because Black Library is trash
>>85540392Of course, you smooth brain fuck, I was speaking relatively. I didn't say that the Traitors were incompetent, because they weren't. They were still effective parts of the most successful military in human history, and were able to keep up with basically any other legion in terms of combat effectiveness and over all successful conquests.But some legions were just straight up stronger than other legions. And the only Traitor Legion that wasn't weaker, or at least less efficient, than any Loyalist Legion was the Sons of Horus. The main thing that hampers the Traitors, in every iteration, in every depiction, is weak logistics, and famously bad leadership. It doesn't matter how strong the World Eaters might be when lead by somebody else, because Angron always lead them. They were always going to fight as wastefully as they possibly could.
>>85540089Unless you're fighting leviathan dreadnoughts 24/7, yes
>>85540392Spoken like a coping loser.
>>85540392Sure, the individual astartes were probably about equal from legion to legion, but you can't tell me that any army that has Angron, Mortarion, Fulgrim, Lorgar and Perturabo as leaders isn't eventually going to get it's shit stomped.
>>85540392
>>85540392>NL and they still got shit done The only thing they did is take themselves put of the war and lead the Dark Angels on a wild goose chase, because Horus knew that the Dark Angels could solo any Traitor Legion, including his own.Cope harder.
>>85540219Neat. Looks good.
>>85540392>please take my legion of pissed off adolescent man babies seriously.
Is the logistics lad still around? A very long time ago, someone was talking about how poorly explained, to the extent they were at all, logistics were in the African Novels. What would be some preferred explanations? I don't know much about it, the most I think of it is how expansive the Alpha Legion's efforts must have been to pull of the shit they did, they needed to secretly be the largest criminal organization in the galaxy. Probably the second or third largest organization of any sort in the galaxy.

>>85541827Honestly I have no idea how people struggle to pick a legionLike, night lords immediately jumped out at me and I didn't even have to think about it
>>85541906I'm just very indecisive.
>>85541906Not him but I like a lot of the legions and their unique models, so it's really hard to nail down just one that I wanna invest my free time and money into.

>40k chaos indomitus terminators have reaper autocannons>30k indomitus terminators have assault cannonsreee
>>85541906For me, it's because I can find something to like about every legion, and the more I learn about a legion, the more I will probably like them.What sealed Dark Angels for me was their vaguely smug superiority. They just do their job, and don't care about any hollow adulation. Some legion and primarchs need their egos constantly fellated for them to function. The Dark Angels are out there on the edge of known space, fighting enemies far greater than anything some legions have ever encountered. They don't need parades. They aren't here for that. A nice look at that is the beginning of the Lion's novella, where he meets with the Emperor, and they don't even really have a conversation. The Lion knows that he's doing a good job, and to keep it up. He doesn't need the Emperor to explain every move. He just needs to know what to do. And the Emperor appreciated that aspect of him. The Emperor knew he didn't need to explain anything. They have an automatic mutual understanding. The Lion didn't want glory, he didn't want fame. He didn't even want to be warmaster, because he knew how much bullshit came with it and he didn't want to have to glad hand these other fucking retard primarchs into doing the job they were fucking created to do.The Dark Angels, like many legions, have many themes. But they aren't the first legion you think of when you think of Duty being a theme, but I think the DA embody Duty better than almost any other legion.
>mk3 still out of stock everywhere except some sellers with 200% markupJust please bring them back GW, I don’t want to pay for resin recasts
>>85542194Do you have autism, by any chance?
>>85542208No more than anyone else here. But probably at least a bit.
>>85542194Adding onto this, they know what they are. The Dark Angels are nothing more than living weapons, tools created by the Emperor to make the galaxy safe for the rest of humanity. A safety they'll never see or know. But that's why they're there. They do their job, because they're the only ones that can do it. Everything in the Legion, and everything the legion uses, including the culture, exists because it makes the legion better at doing it's job.When the Lion took over the legion, he changed very little, compared to some primarchs. Ho found that what already existed pretty much worked. It only failed when the vainly pursued glory. He didn't change the structure of the Legion much at all, and left the council of Knight Preceptors alone to continue running the logistics and overall planning of the Legion. Because he found that it worked. They had done their job mostly effectively without him, and him changing everything wouldn't make the legion more efficient. If he thought the legion culture could be better served by some other system, then he would've torn out the one that existed and replaced it. Because their job, and doing their job, is why they exist. If they are doing something that makes them worse at their job, then they don't fucking do it.I'm sorry I keep writing walls of text like this, but I just really like their lonely pragmatism. They seem standoffish and smug to other legions, because the other legions, even the Loyalists, see themselves as a warrior cast set apart and above regular humans. But Dark Angels don't see it like that. They are true and honest servants. Warriors created to fight wars. Created to slay the greatest and most hideous monsters in the galaxy. They serve the Emperor. Not fanatically, but because it's their job.I just really like that.
>>85541906same for me, started AL with alpharius and three contemptors, then started DA with 20 companions when they were released. simple as
Dreadnought drop pods. Yay or nay?
>>85542112>Use just a single melee dreadnought with two in-built weapons to mob up melee terminators>It utterly annihilates them whilst costing substantially fewer pointsIt is after reducing the melee terminators to 5 or less with shooting, but still. Dreadnoughts are fucking broken right now.

>>85542318>he changed very little, compared to some primarchs.Yeah I think he and Dorn changed the least about their legions, including their names iirc.
>>85542713I don't think Eskaton sucks. It's not as good as it at first seems. But it's a pretty decent newfag filter, both to play and play against.New players are going to think it's fucking broken, until they realize how little Difficult Terrain does in HH2. And people playing it are going to get their shit stomped hard, and then wonder why this Rite they thought was auto win isn't winning.It's a fun and fluffy, and occasionally very strong Rite that can hard counter the right enemy. But it isn't broken by any means.
>>85542396Same
>>85542318>other legions, even the Loyalists, see themselves as a warrior cast set apart and above regular humans. But Dark Angels don't see it like that. They are true and honest servants. Warriors created to fight wars.This is (in some authors’ hands) an interesting flaw. The Dark Angels are an unquestioning weapon in the hands of the emperor, but their pursuit of efficiency makes warfare the first resort, when maybe it ought to be the last.>pic related
>>85542194>>85542318All these words just so anon could come out of the closet
>>85542786Space marines are a weapon first and statesmen somewhere farther downEmps gave a ton of autonomy to the legions as long as they returned with results (probably why Guilliman was allowed so much elbow room in Ultramar) and intervened when he believed that his sons strayed too far from their crusade quota (Monarchia and the WB censure).If the wayward humans can be reasoned with and brought into the fold without bloodshed? Great! But that better not impede the progress of the crusade by too long. Emps was making the mother of all omelets. Can't fret over every egg.
>>85542786Maybe. But you already have other legions for that, like the Word Bearers and Ultramarines. They like to bring whole planets into the fold, and liked doing it peacefully, if possible.But the Dark Angels aren't about bringing errant worlds back into the realm of Terra. They aren't really even about compliance. They're like Xcom, to make a poor analogy. They are the first, and sometimes last line of defense against threats that would overwhelm other legions more in line with the ideals of the Great Crusade. The Dark Angels are about vigilance against the worst threats, actively seeking them out to destroy them before they have a chance to do any damage to the Imperium. They aren't about conquest. They're about extermination.However, early on, you're right. It was a weakness. They would actively seek out the worst threats they could find, ignoring others, and throwing themselves entirely into combat just to prove how tough they were. They almost always won, but it was almost always at enormous cost. Both in manpower and in reputation. It was only the discovery of the Lion, and his setting them back on the right path, that stopped it.>>85542833You show me a twink femboy and I'll show you a quivering mess that feels loved and validated.
>>85542786>makes warfare the first resort, when maybe it ought to be the last.Isn't that like 80% of the legions? Seems like shoot first, maybe think of some questions later was standard operating procedure for the majority.
>>85542848>Emps was making the mother of all omelets. Can't fret over every egg.Specially when there are other forces out there going out of their way to break all the eggs without even thinking about making an omelet.
>>85542852>DAdefinitely shoot first>ECdiplomacy first>IWshoot first>WSshoot first>SWshoot first>IFprobably 50/50>NLshoot first>BAdiplomacy first>IHshoot first>WElol. lmao>UMdiplomacy first>DGshoot first>Salliesprobably diplomacy because of memes but realistically still shoot first>RGdepends, probably shoot first>AL"diplomacy" first
>>85542875I somehow forgot about >TSonsdepends on the civilization, probably still shoot first>SoHdiplomacy first >WBdiplomacy first
>>85542875I'd say AL and RG are both shoot first unless you count terror operations and decapitation strikes as diplomacy.
>>85542890Eh, it depends on if you consider any sort of antagonist maneuver as "shoot first"Then yes, shoot first for both

>>85542953>suck duck
>>85542953No
>>85542358Did you do any converting for the Companions? Any kitbashing?
>>85542849But what about when the DA encounter a regular planet while crusading, and not some horrible xeno menace?>>85542919sadly just terminal chaosfag hands. it’s too late, I automatically find myself prejudiced toward the traitors when I read lore arguments
>>85542984Then they carry out a regular compliance. It's not that they couldn't, or didn't bring worlds into compliance. They absolutely did. But it wasn't their main objective. They weren't seeking out worlds or systems that were already populated, following leads and forward scouting reports given to them by the White Scars. They're main focus was making sure there wasn't something big they should be killing, or making sure that if a world was being brought into compliance, that they weren't really just humans slaved to some other intelligence.They brought probably fewer worlds into compliance than some legions, but the ones that they did never rebelled and never compromised imperial operations, as they sometimes would. They had a significant portion of their manpower tied elsewhere.It should also be said that while they had fewer crusade fleets than most other legions, their fleets were considerably larger, because they were expected to deal with anything they encountered without need to call for assistance. Every fleet had elements of every Wing, in addition to the legion's own fleet, which could match any other legion's fleet in numbers, and could more than match in firepower.
Sell my Spartan, or just build it and paint it anyway?
Is the skull-adorned grenade too much for 30k? They’re early-mid Word Bearers
>>85543144Depends, how many spartans do you already own?
>>85543160oops, no pic
>>85543144There's no legion where a spartan is necessarily bad, even if all you fill it with is 20 despoilers + accompanying ICs.
>>85543160>>85543168Yeah, I think so. That's me though. If you really like it, leave it.
>>855431630. I sold my old DG one.>>85543175I guess this is my issue, in that I know it's a transport over a battle tank, but I don't know whether I've got a payload worthy for it. I've got Termies but I can deepstrike them anyway. Phalanx Warders or Templar Brethren? Doesn't seem much point.
>>85542875>AL "diplomacy"Diplomancy.
>>85543168For WB I'd say it goes
>>85542875>>EC>diplomacy firstdickplomacy
>>85543262Once people at your lgs figure out why it's a good idea to bring augury scanners those terminators are gonna be a whole lot safer inside a spartan than deep striking them.
>>85543294That's a fair point. Just feels a bit obvious to do the Spartan Teminator deathstar when there's a native and unique play I can do with my Legion you know?
>>85541447what does he transform into?
>>85541279The CSM raptors got a great mutt mk IV head that I'm using for my kit bash for sure.
>>85541295>>85541274Backpacks are fine anvilus pattern is kosher
>>85542112dont be. I'm constantly told how the waac players only play 40k yet all my Heresy group constantly how to field death starter one shit snipers. Heresy fags LOVE broken shit but only when they are doing it
>>85543343I kinda wish everyone had broken shit to exploit, so no one Legion or playstyle would automatically get a reaction
>>85543350I'm just starting up IH and White Scars I wonder if Golden Keshig with power lances and brutal are a good counter to dreadnoughts. You will need your dreads to counter other dreads
>>85543369if you consider a coinfil to be a counter, then sure
>>85542112>>85542395>>85543343How to combat powerful dreadnoughts this edition bros?
>>85543160Its fine, the more the merrier, in fact make a chair out of skulls while you're at it.
>>85542940Nice JUSTaerin bro
>>85541447Built for BECC
>>85543262>sold his DG to play IF insteadSell it and use the money to buy some rope.
>>85543457I sold my DG army in like 2015 mate, calm your tits
>>85543428Only two options really>Bring your own dreadnoughts>Focusing ranged firepower to bring them down and hope you won't get punished too hard for ignoring the rest of the armyPeople do talk about thunder hammer terminators, but those strike at initiative 1 whilst dreadnoughts will be fisting them first at initiative 4. It's a trap, you'll only lose most of your terminators.
>>85543503Bringing your own makes sense.What if they are cataphractii with 4 invul, I'd take those odds.Best ranged firepower for the job, lascannons? Or plasma gun spam maybe and pray for breaching?
>>85542975yes almost all of them were modelled with fists for last edition. for this edition they will all have great swords
>>85543796>>85543796>>85543796
>>85541906>struggle to pick a legionIts more struggling to pick a 2nd legion.I want traitors that play very differently to my IW, so still deciding between these two.
>>8554326220 phalanx warders in a spartan seems like a really optimal use of it, honestly.
