Was a very interesting β€œdata download” mission, along with me trying to fulfill a campaign oath of moment. I had challenged myself to kill all his automata and all his HQs to send a TRVTH NVKE onto the traitor held territory, if I were to fail they’d get an entrance into our back line.

Turn 1: both of us were firing in the dark, even our best shots had trouble finding their targets. The Tsons made it on 2/3 objectives, and started their downloads.

Turn 2: My Warmonger/Forge Lord decided to make appearances, and deftly cut into the traitors. The Forge Lord and Thallax jumped from the sky and blew 2 castellans to bits, but unfortunately got routed after the enemy forgelord killed mine. They had thoughts of revenge, however. Then, my Warmonger and Immortals dropped down and plinked precious wounds off the Thanatar via Grav shredder assault, then charged in. My Deredeo cleared off the middle objective while I captured the third.

Turn 3: Sheer luck let my LR survive this long against 3 Vanquisher leman Russes, allowing my Praetor and another 10 immortals to take the point recently cleared by the Deredeo.

Turn 4: A Tsons command squad was dislocated, and managed to kill my Predator. Then, the vanquishers finally destroyed my Land Raider. A crying shame!

Turn 5: My now unrouted Thallax decided to bet off their asses, and meltabombed the Russ squad. The Warmonger helped, as he was close enough to charge, and they killed 2 Russes.

Great game all in all, 11-7.

Well, I could spam 30pt techpriests but I don't think it would go particularly well.
Not sure what the Mech equivalent of a Rhino Rush is - we have no fast HQs for Comptroller, so I guess we ally some Marine Line if we desperately need a fast squad in a transport, because the Macrocarid can't transport anything besides Macrotek chumps and the Triaros costs a ton.

It's a certainty.
The unit coming default with volkite chargers, the new design in the images, and the literal sneak peak photo(s) they've shown means its a guarantee.

What is a somewhat larger question is what will happen with tartaros.
It seems incredibly likely from the original tarty loadouts, then what they later promised with the 'seige' legacy unit (which they later changed at the very last moment) heavily imply the new tartaros kit wouldn't have fists/hammers. But after the blowback was so hard they had to FAQ the options back, the question is whether they would try change the box contents or not. Presumably this would be giga expensive, and/or they've already started manufacture, in which case they can't, but could goy people with a stand alone upgrade set.

Absolutely 0 chance. Models inform the rules, not the other way around. There is no world where they're recutting a plastic mold just because mean people on the internet called them retarded. At best, you get a "terminator weapons upgrade sprue" a few years later with adapters for tartaros and cataphractii shoulders

It would be β€œgenerous” but they could include an extra sprue in the box with fists and hammers like how the Mk2 kit comes with a smaller upgrade sprue for the special build options. Though they also could just sell you it separate for 40 bucks like most weapon packs.
Anonymous No.96343936
>>96343913
We don't know if they have actually done any of the manufacturing stuff yet, or if tarty is still at the digital/planning stage.

But yes, if they've already made the molds, its no chance in hell.
What makes me question if they have got that far yet is the fact that they FAQ'd the options back in, INSTEAD of keeping them to the legacy seige squad. The fact they kept it out of legacies implies it has/will have models to continue supporting those options.

Of course it could just be different departments doing whatever they want instead of talking to each other, so you never know.

Zero chance they re manufacture a completed sprue. They won't really mention the load outs and completely ignore the lack of fists/chain fists (Tartaros plastic kit never came with hammers) then maybe in a 'warcom community article' show a staff's half assed conversion of old Tartaros power fists on the new Tartaros bodies.

I'm hoping Blackshields get something approaching the 2e build-your-legion-rules system, at the very least. The two layers of army rules from Cohort Doctrine + Legion Auxilia add a lot of variety to Solar Auxilia and are relatively succinct in terms of page space, so if they do something like that with Blackshield Oaths it would probably work fine.

I'm hoping for some decent durability or melee output boosts, because I have a force done up as Istvaan III Loyalist Death Guard + Ordo Reductor, and the actual DG rules aren't getting me anything here. Late-war Crysos Morturg was one of the definitive blackshields, so if the BS rules are good I might make an alternate model for his messed-up cyborg form and give him a suitable retinue squad. Librarians are fun in 3e.


For Militia, I just want the chaos cult variants to get decent rogue psykers and stationary artillery. Mechanicum tech-priests are surprisingly good commissar-equivalents, so a bunch of mech slave-drivers herding squads of vat-grown Uruk-Hai into melee rushes sounds potentially fun as an allied force.

Thinking of running a unit if Deathwing Companions in Terminator armour. Can't decide between Tartaros and Cataphractii. Their main role is going to be smashing units off objectives and sitting on them themselves.

Personally a fan of Tartaros here if it's just a squad of 5. Eternal Warrior means they'll dismantle anything below the level of fellow WS5 EW thunder hammer terminators anyway, and they're not a giant deathstar, so I think you just want the movement speed so you can rampage through as many lesser units as possible.

Yeah, I may have to play some online games to see if my previous estimate of Thanatar usefulness was correct. The actual blast is basically inferior to the Krios lightning cannon that you can get for half the cost, which has AP3 base, Suppressive (1) and Shred to get up to D3 occasionally, but if even the Krios 14" move isn't enough to get good shots off without Barrage that might cause some issues.

Probably Thousand Sons or AL (for all the many, many sins of AL players, I think their legion is the one that incentivizes you most to play accurately to the lore, with careful positioning and only picking unfair fights. That and I really like the way their advanced reaction and gambit play off their anonymity).
But yeah compare the TS section of the book to DA, WE, SW (even putting aside the relative strength of these factions) and you can tell there's a completely different amount of detail and love.

That is extremely janky, I didn't ralise that a standard issue GW trench is now apparently an infinitely high LOS blocker. Possibly the Krios is fast enough to quite literally run the whole way around the obstruction if I need to shoot something behind it, since they can zoom 20" and then snapfire a large blast that will probably still score a decent number of hits with 1d6 scatter, but heavy melee units just camping inside invincible cover until something appears for them to jump on is faintly silly.

I'm not entirely sure how Mech deals with lots of AV14 carrying lots of Terminators. They don't really have any units that can do anything to WS5 thunder hammer boys in melee, although admittedly marines without mass thunder hammers don't either, and that means it's just unloading tons of fire into them and hope they eventually fall over, which you can't do simultaneously to the Land Raiders, the TEQ and maybe the Saturnine Dreadnought in the back.

Bigger games which more and stronger guns, and less places to even hide on a board, means the player with turn one is winning even more than usual.
Very stupid take, and the fact that your min maxing faggotry is now harder in 3.0 is a positive, not a negative (played too many of you 'recon company' faggots with essentially zero recon element in the army, at all, who just wanted the RoW benefits (without a real downside).

It's still a rule that does basically nothing for 95% of the units. Half the time you charge you want to avoid volley fire entirely, and it means combat shields make your units worse. And the units that would make best use of the rule, destroyers and moritats, already have it regardless or legion, so even WB desrroyers are better. Not to mention their legion specific weapon is... worse thunder hammer for the same cost

Pick something to complain about. Volley fire is only a bad idea if you're a cataphractii terminator. Anything else either usually wants to Volley fire or literally can't.

I'm really liking Volley Fire as a mech player. Most of my robots are Implacable Advance/Firestorm, which means I get to unload anything that isn't Heavy at full BS in the charge phase even if I don't charge and basically get a second shooting phase in close quarters, which is what makes the Castellax, Domitar and Vulturax actually worth their points. The last two especially, the Vulturax would be pretty borderline with two BS3 shots a round on the anti-tank launcher.

Domitars are a lot better than I expected them to be. Decently fast, Vanguard 2, can reach WS/BS 5 with Cybertheurgy support and have a ton of S6-7 D2 Breaching 5+ output, so if 300pts of them get to shoot, volley, charge they'll probably take apart anything less than a WS5 Eternal Warrior Terminator squad or a Primarch.
Even ten WS4 hammer cataphractii probably lose 6-7 of their number and the combat, although not by much because most of the damage is done in shooting.

Even Iron Warriors don't fight like Iron Warriors, anon. That would require them to invent new tech ("Hammer of Olympia”) to fight unique problems others couldn't solve (HH1) and be very efficient at achieving 100% extermination with favorable Kill-Death ratios at the expense of munitions consumption (HH1). Even the few Thousand Sons numerologists and Order of Ruin would thrive like that. I assume TS and IW were friendly to each other because of that.

Is there any way of playing smaller scale games of HH akin to the likes of Combat Patrol etc?
Like, how is Zone Mortalis? To the best of my knowledge that's a bit more pared back than regular games and takes place indoors in a way that sort of forces the issue of combat upon you.

it killed my community, about half of everyone checked out, and only 7/30 are doing games of 3.0. Out of everyone I polled, only two people actually liked the new edition. The guys playing games say its better than they thought, but they're still pretty tepid. Still unclear if we'll stick to 2.0 or go into 3.0. Both have problems.

There should be two forms of deep strike, and before the game starts/in list building you declare what version you use (some units can only use a specific version). You can only use one version of deep strike.

>orbital assault
drop pods, jump troops and so on. Can drop in anywhere and can assault after dropping, but always scatter 2d6" (maybe 6+d3"?) (no hits, same as blast templates now) and have a punishing mishap table. Roll for units individually.

>teleportarium strike
Teleportation (what terminators and the warmonger use). No scatter, no mishaps, all units must land within 6" (12"?) of the original placed model. Only roll once for the entire bunch.

>>96348698
>What's wrong with Yes Scatter, Yes Assault, Roll Reserves for every unit?
Mass deep strike playstyles end up feeling really bad to play against because so much of how the game turns out is decided by "so does he get lucky with the deep strike"
Broken interceptor was designed to mitigate that, and it helped, but it also made smaller scale deep strike worthless. So the solution has to be making mass scale deep strike worse while maintaining the ability to do it to some extent.

Serious question for everyone, well, mainly people that have actually played 3e already.

With how critical objectives are, and grabbing them first turn, and how list building works, do you think it would be viable to spam just an outrageous amount of tacticals/despoilers (like 200+ in a 3k game) to completely overwhelm and swamp objectives?
Your enemy can't stop you from holding when you have 3 20 man blobs in cap range of every objectives.

Yes, it unironically would be very very effective for winning games. Just run something like despoilers forward to clog up the enemy lines and then amp objectives with tactical blobs.

Another issue i have found is objective placement. its REALLY important in the game as if you give your opponent any sort of advantage your basically fucked. If they go first, you are even more fucked.

You can take a 10-man unit of Gorgon Terminators with 3 Reaper Autocannons for 420 points. They are relatively durable at 2+/5++/5+++, but 420 points for 10 WS4 terminators strikes me as overcosted. You could get 10 generic Cataphractii Terminators with 2 Reaper Autocannons at 330 points, or hell, 10 Siege Tartaros with 10 Reaper Autocannons for 450. And the unique Gorgon blind thing is now just against Volley Fire.

I think mass deepstrike (or any deepstrike, really) can be countered by castling. At least I know it counters Infiltrate, so I assume it counters deepstrike too.
Or countered. In classic GW fashion, Intercept was OVERnerfed and has become useless. I'm not paying 1 RP to do mere snapshots.
All they needed to do in 2.0 was to limit Augur scanner activation to max 3 per turn like everything else (happened to me - was survivable), and now they could lock Augur activation behind an Intelligence test, not to mention players have half as much Reactions now.

Deep strike teleportation: IE summoning and terminator deep strike teleporting in, which heavy weapons can only at best snap fire.

There's no more multiple charge, right? If two units are side by side, you can only charge one.
If two units are intermingled with one another, they become immune to charging, because you can get within 1" of only the unit you are charging, and still must avoid all others.

Intercepting in general and intercepting a warmonger are different things. Normally interception is a round of shooting at half efficiency, which means you arent likely to wipe the enemy out and you have better uses.

The warmonger however becomes supressed when it takes damage, so even "some" damage is worth it to neuter whatever unit deep struck in (assuming its a shooting unit)

Math again, anon. A FnP5 saves a unit 33% of the time once...then 33% of the time if it survives, then again and again until it should finally roll bad
So it is 1/3 + (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^3 + (1/3)^4 ...
That infinite sum converges to 0.5

Theres pinning(3) on some grav weapons, and SA can buff more of their artillery for pinning(3).

Panic sort of has to be quite high because LD is almost always higher than cool. Panic(3) will usually test against the same value as suppressive/stunned/pinning(2).

Any sort of status means that unit hits at init 1, so intercepting the warmonger and his melee murdersquad is potentially very strong if you are planning to charge into them afterwards.

Hmm, do you think the plastic Sol Aux rapiers will come with mole Mortars like they do in LIgma? I suppose they'd need something to replace the Grav Cannons they don't get.

I'm too stupid to understand math, but is FNP 5+ really that good? Maybe I am being convinced on them.

Which makes a unit more durable, the FNP5 they have, or the Eternal Warrior(1) Morlocks have?

Imagine two units, one has FNP one doesent.
One unit loses 9 dudes, the other loses 6. 9 = 150% of 6 but 6 =66% of 9.

Or put it another way, gorgon terminators have an effective 56% invuln chance, vs a cataphrachtiis 50% (5+ rerollable is better than 4+, barely). A regular tartaros terminator has a 33% invuln save.

Yes, there is a very good reason why its was very ahrd to get a FnP into a TEQ unit in 2.0. Because it was very powerful.

10 wounds on 5 guys.
On an armor save
you have an 11% chance to fail a 2+ then a 5+++
On a 4++ and 5+++ its a 25% Chance to fail.

Vet assaults probably still use the crusade gear they've fought in for a century.

The Mark 6 is a bulkier less elegant mark 4 which was mass produced to meet demand for marine armour during the Heresy. Its likely still better than mark 2 but vet marines might be boomers more concerned with a suit that has proven its worth 100 times over already.

They can test to become un-supressed at the end of turn (which they will normally pass). Its not impossible, but its unlikely to impact combat in subsequent turns. The real impact is that you cant deepstrike some HSS in behind someones tank and fuck them up.

It isnt. Its (1-(1/2*2/3)) to make a save (either/or). or 67%. Its 75% to make a 4+ 4+++ (you know, stone gauntlet bullshit).

When someone's talking about what other sorts of weapons have high status I would generally expect people to namedrop the actual weapon with high status. Enjoy your pinning 3 Rapier batteries, I'll enjoy my phosphex quad launchers.

You can do anything, but there's a point when complexity outpaces the benefit it brings to the table. The only distinction I'd do would be teleport deepstrikes, and at most that distinction would only apply to ZM.

For a second I thought you were talking about their unique breachers they get before I remembered they got a second Terminator unit in Legends.
And can we take a moment to talk about how good those asshole Immortals are? A troop choice, for a start, with a 5++, access to Shieldwall, in a unit that's already -1Str to all shooting attacks because of Legion rule, and on top of that, get FNP 5+++ as well.
Start at 5, can go up to 20 for maximum flexibility, get access to Lascutters because they're breachers for Anti-Tank (and maybe a little bit of Anti-TEQ) AND Expendable (2), so even if those Justies push them off the point, they're only getting 2VP's for it.

Basic troops.

He just says phosphex panic, that could be arquitors or quad launchers and it doesn't fucking matter because its still phosphex.

There's only one mortar in the entire auxilia army list and its the one which is pinning 3 in a siege cohort. The body doesn't fucking matter because status is a property of the weapon and not the dude carrying the weapon.

Yeah, the two options for Librarians I've been looking at are probably Divination to make him a challenge monster, or Biomancy... to just make him a monster full stop.
A Librarian in Terminator Armour with Biomantic Rage goes up to T7, meaning that Thunder Hammers are needing 4's to wound. Hell, if we merge this with the Iron Hands Medusa Armour discussion they could give him Medusa Terminator armour and a 5+++ fnp save as well.
Either way, with a Force Axe he's AP2 and Str9 thanks to Rage and Impact (S)

Well, to be fair, they're just Breachers with FNP and they lose Line (1) so they're worse at contesting objectives.
But on the other hand, they're Breachers with FNP, and they get Expendable (2) which is pretty high.
