Warhammer 40K Tabletop XIV: "Pray for 6's!"

[Tome]

Question regarding Chaos fluff:

Lucius the Eternal can come back, more or less, from the dead if he is killed and his killer feels one squick of triumph from the act.

What happens if he's killed by a Necron (Who are, I believe, emotionless can cannot feel triumph over the act)? Or a Tyranid that gets reabsorbed into the Hive Fleet?

This is probably a question for the fluff thread.

So I'm thinking of, as a troops base:
Two squads of nine warriors with storm bolters, plus three joakero. So joakero with nine bonus wounds, basically. Plus Coteaz can go with these guys, to dissuade reserves
Two squads of six warriors with storm bolters, plus three crusaders, plus three meltaguns

Thoughts? I might also throw in a crusader/death cult squad to accompany a xenos inquisitor.

In terms of spending money, I'd much rather write up a list first, and then think about that sort of thing later. I love conversions and such, so odds are I'll do stuff like buy brettonians for use as crusaders.

Seems fine to me, though consider lowering the Jokaero count to two per squad and taking three units instead. That gives you better odds of getting a good result on their upgrade ability.

Suggestion accepted! As for other stuff, i'm thinking purifiers/interceptors, the aforementioned vindicare-Xenos Inquisitor-Coteaz combo, and, well, i don't know. I need the anti-tank, but would prefer not to take tanks if possible.

I don't do battle reports but i played a game of Planetstrike, Me Tau vs Imperial guard the other day. Lost in the end, probably because of too few suits, but i did manage to cause "exploded" results on two bunkers and two tanks in one turn. And that's the true meaning of Planetstrike, Charlie Brown.

I really hope they buff the Punisher tanks though. The concept is just awesome IMO. Maybe turn'em into Fast Attack and mount'em on a Chimera or something. Like a Hellhound but with better range.

Gatling guns are awesome, but you don't use them as the primary weapon on a main battle tank. A Hellhound variant or some sort of IFV (as opposed to the Chimera's APC role, though with the multilaser on it kind of blends the two as it is) would be more appropriate.

In the Forge World rules, you can give twin-linked Punisher cannons to a Vulture strike aircraft (like a Valkyrie with no transport and more guns), but you have to replace both the missiles and the multilasers with them for a ton of points. I'd never do it there either; you lose too many weapons and pay enough for another infantry squad for the privilege. They just seem determined to make the Punisher cannon a bad choice no matter what they put it on.

Anyway, page 50, so...

In Australia, I was asleep. I'm not anymore. But I'm still upside-down.

i.e; New Thread time.

[Badgercloak]

Been awhile since I got on here so here's what I've got so far for my first SM army:
5x Tac squads (50 models)
1x Scout squad (10 models)
2x Devastator squads (20 models)
1.5x Assault squads (15 models)
1x HQ SM Commander/ Captain (1 model)
1x Command squad (5 models)
2x Rhinos (2 models)

Going to the shop to pick up some new stuff. Thinking about getting Drop Pods maybe some Elites.

Today i learned that the list i wrote up at 998 doesn't give the captain a jump pack. Which both ruins my original strategy and forces me to change the list because i already gave him a jump pack -_-


...Ah well. Maybe i can make my chaplain a reclusiarch this time around.

Like Cheesegear and Renegade Paladin said, New thread. With 8 pages already, no less.
