They wouldn't be able to properly execute their function as bodyguard of the Emperor without them. But I really hate the Eldar grav tank rip-offs that cuckstodes got, so ugly.

Thanks for the replies back in the previous thread, I have a follow-up question: did the Incubi exist during the Heresy as well? I'm getting very mixed messages when searching for it.

>>97903714
Probably, yes. Aspect warriors from the oldest shrines show up in HH novels, and some sources (6th edition eldar codex iirc) say Arhra betrayed the other Phoenix Lords shortly after the Fall of the Eldar.

Big guns to go with having the best fighters and premium dreadnoughts is fine. It's Sisters that should fulfill many of the other odd niches they don't bother with, with psykers obviously off-limits, but GW gutted the fuck out of them in 3.0, so...

Now when will they do an Aquilon Shield-Captain? Coasting on effectively one HQ and a half for however long in Heresy is pretty fucking lousy.

>>97903578

Why not?
You are hardpressed to counter enemy vehicles with infantry alone, unless terrain is high or you have high speed to get in to melta range.
As they are a fighting force, not having vehicles would be very odd.
I'm more surprised the venatari do not have more dedicated anti-vehicle gear.

>>97903633

The same reasoning sorta as why I headcanon muh dudes to have all their vehicles operated by servitors, Astartes have advantages over humans in every respect sure, but their greater ones are being tougher, stronger and faster, which comes into play most in hand to hand combat, not sitting in the driver's seat of a rhino.

Solar aux aren't any more difficult to paint than kreigers, assuming you painted them. The armour is quite raised so you can do the under suit first then tidy up when you do the armour. they take contrast very well too.

Blasts used to always be 2D6 scatter, minus BS, unless you rolled a hit. For BS 4 this meant scattering 3" was the most likely result.

>>97906088
>How many scatter dice did they use to roll?
same as everything else, 2d6.
And average scatter would be 7" - BS which was 4, meaning you scattered on average 3" problem is, scattering 3" means you miss a 32mm target, and just barely clip a 40mm target.

To follow up on what everyone else said: Your BS didn't help you land direct hits. Your BS3 Militia fire support squad had the same chance of landing a direct hit with a frag missile as your BS5 Veteran Tacticals; that is, 1/3, because the scatter die had 2 hit faces. It was OK on bigger targets and/or bigger blasts because you couldn't scatter far enough to actually miss, but it got to the point where plasma TSS were actually stronger than plasma HSS purely because you couldn't count on your plasma cannons to hit infantry model, whereas the plasma gun was just straight up 2 shots at BS4.

>>97906262
>Your BS didn't help you land direct hits.
I mean it kinda did.
You could roll a direct hit, but the high your BS, the higher you had to roll before you started to scatter
With a BS of 4, rolling a 2, 3 or 4 on the scatter die was just as good as rolling a direct hit. So i mean yeah it did kinda matter.

BUT yes, The reason scatter sucked in 1.0 and 2.0 is because GW had been using the same scatter template size since 3rd, and the problem is bases did not stay the same size, so it was a lot harder to get more hits.

But yeah large templates did not have this problem becusae 2d6 - BS4 resulted in a hit on the intended target on average with a large blast .

Either way 3.0 blast rules? Big brained.

>>97906262
A nuncio vox (provided re-rolls for scatter in 2.0) did make plasma cannon hss quite reliable. But resolving up to 10 scatters with re-rolls took forever, easily doubled the duration of a shooting phase.

>>97906319
plus the other thing always was....you could just take las canons for the same cost iirc

>>97906149
Speaking of, are the Kakophoni figures wearing MK VII armor? Sure as fuck looks like it in the pics.

Fuck GW for not giving them guitars, the Fulgrim book said that their weapons were also STRING BASED instruments, and I know...

No we didn't.

Can HH satisfy my Girls und Panzer fantasies?

>>97913012
Not remotely and you're kind of dumb for asking that in the first place

>>97913012
You wanna fuck a tank?

>>97913012
I haven't checked 3.0 but 1.0 and 2.0 armies usually have a way to run only tanks and in 1.0 marines and SA have master of armour/tank aces characters. Alas 6/8mm is a much better scale for running tank combat but I doubt it's what you're looking for.

>>97913012
What does that mean? Do you want to molest yukari? Larp as a frenchman? Live on an aircraft carrier?

But tanks are really good in 3e, in parrticular a decurion Kratos is an incredibly potent unit that can really live out that "tank ace" fantasy as it explodes anything in range.

All vehicles is doable, but its not viable in 3rd, you WILL need some infantry because vehicles cant score.

>>97913136
If you play as attacker in the missions from the Mailed Fist journal full tank armies are actually viable. The attackers gains VP for having the most combined HP on vehicles within different battlefield areas.

>>97913191
>if you play [the mission set designed for tank only armies] you can play tank only armies
Okay great what about the rest of us who don't want to depend on sloptica to make our armies viable again

>>97913215
I don't understand why you would want to continue playing the core missions from the main rulebook, easily the worst part of the entire edition. Good scans of the journals have been posted in previous threads, there's literally no reason not to swap to better missions or at least try them.

>>97913191
Sure, but in most missions you still need to score. If you play only that specific mission/club rule "kill point" missions? All vehicle is workable. But obviously im not talking about specifically those situations.

Whirlwinds should have all three ammo types at the same time like they used to. If you want to ditch flexibility for sheer damage, there's the Scorpius. If you want both flexibility and damage whilst also making it a frontline tank, there's the Arcus.

Oh shit I didn’t read

>>97916450
No. What the fuck gave you that idea?
I fucking hate battle reports, they always get the rules wrong or even outright cheat.

>>97916894
I mean 3 objectives, dude that goes first is on objectives first, scors his line stuff first, and if you don't push him off them turn 1, you practicaly lose by math alone.

>>97916894
Same as most players and worst of all reviewers. I don’t mind a dodgy battlereport but a total bollocks review is no good to man nor beast.

>>97916908
Yeah that only works if the player going second doesn't know what the fuck they are doing. Pushing line units off objectives is the most easy thing to do, everything can kill tactical marines fast enough when there are only 10 of them. Locally it has quickly become the case that the player going second wins, because:
>With the new terrain rules it is real easy to deploy all your units outside LOS and deny the First Strike secondary objective
>If the player going first rushes Line units onto the objectives, those units are now more forwards and exposed
>Because of this the player going second can easily kill the enemy's Line units
>Also makes it easy to score First Strike
>And can also place his own Line units on objectives more safely because more of the enemy units are already dead
Now the player going second has his Line units on the objectives, also scored First Strike, and already killed more of the opponent's units. A way stronger position than the player going first can have.
Then there's also things like denying the possibility to move towards objectives with tarantula sentry guns, or a 20 man interdiction cadre popping up on the objective when you move towards it.

This is exactly why I hate battlereports. The people playing them have no fucking clue what they are doing.

>>97916947
my army has no line. only venguard units. GW forgot to give custodes Line.

>>97916965
Custodes can still win games. Their play style is completely different than marines, you gotta play hyper-aggressive and know how to use movement and positioning. The most easy to explain tricks are using fast units and deep striking to block units from movement reacting off a point. And custodes always have the first strike and slay the warlord advantage, unless something went very, very wrong there is no way marines kill a unit in the first turn never mind a custodes high command.

>>97916965
Maybe you should use custodes as an allied detachment point sink instead full army Baka anon...

>>97916708
Looking good.

>>97917045
I have only custodes.

>>97916988
I don't find custodes very fast and regular squads can not deep strike. I would love if they could.

>>97917045
Nah the other way around works better I think. Just some dirt cheap SA or Militia allies as objective warmers. Most opponents will not be able to do anything about them when they got to hold off the custodes killing all their shit.
