sebs_evo7 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have a game tomorrow against a friend who is practicing for LVO. He literally has space wolf flyers, a knight and multiple thunder cav with a priest on bike. I feel I'm going to get tabled turn 2 but I'm going to try and concentrate fire on his ground units.

Panzer Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I always feel like I'm going to get tabled turn 2 against Space Wolves no matter whether I play Marines or my T'au. They have so many different scary units. :D sebs_evo7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebs_evo7 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I only have fairly conventional units to make a list but i have heaps of stuff ready to build for when the codex drops and we can work out what works for us I'm just running a heap of deep striking min unit plasma company vet spam, assbacks with small squads of death company and a storm raven With the changes to flyers I'm hoping i can focus down on his ground units and table him. I think i won't make it past turn three though. Is the half army reserve thing to do with points or the amount of units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Is the half army reserve thing to do with points or the amount of units? It is the number of units. So if your army just consisted of a 5-man Scout squad and a 10-man Terminator squad, you could deploy the Scouts and Deep Strike the Terminators. sebs_evo7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Faced today some noise/slaneesh marines. Played Sanguinor along with an librarian and one sang priest. Together with 5 sanguard with plasma and swords. Three devs squads with las/gravcannon las/flamer and missle heavy bolter. One sicaran with lassponsons and one vet squad with Hammer and shiels. One evesor assassin. The vetsquad got smoked turn one frome some noisemarines. The guard landed and killed only three noisies and died in the fight vs possessed my hqs killed most of the possies and the noise marines. Sanguinor is a killer! Devs and sicaran shot one vindicator but didnt manage to destroy the defiler. Got wiped in the back at the end but my sangpriest had the relic last turn. Sadly we had to cut the game. It was open if my priest would have survived or not. :/ Chaplain Gunzhard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 -4 ap is no joke. And it should be pretty easy to get him into combat so just deleting infantry off the table with that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Had my first 8th Ed game against Eldar. I lost 9-0 but it was actually really close despite the scoreline and I had a blast! Revenge will be mine!

Jolemai Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 On Mk VII armour, what do you think looks best - a DC jump pack or a SG jump pack sans the wings? In other news, I've located the bike footplate that I believed I'd misplaced - as it turns out, it was already attached...

In other news, I've located the bike footplate that I believed I'd misplaced - as it turns out, it was already attached... While I prefer MKIV jump packs in general, I think I'd actually go twin-thruster on MKVII armour, and save the single thruster for more 'special' armour.

sockwithaticket Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd go with the Mk IV pack. Oh, and do folk separate their DC bits away from everything else? Only if it's got a saltire on it. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Definitely MKIV on him - it will suit the retro nature of the model. Also the raised shoulder pad might force a twin thruster pack a bit wonky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look brutal and suit the nature of the marines. Only a few models will be getting Mk4 packs in my army, mainly artificer armoured ones who may have lighter armour. I prefer more thrust.

Charlo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think because he's a smaller metal model, a MkVII pack would look better like Xen said, bulk him out a bit - especially one from the DC box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I had a play around with the new Redemptor dread in my local GW yesterday, and I'm a convert picked up a quick built intercessors set, to have a go at them. Too much else to paint to get more! LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'll be getting at least one, and at least one of the Chaplain and Apothecary too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've been working on bits and pieces today. I converted my old Sanguinary Guard and meltacide assault squad to 32mm bases and added sand / PVA. Will paint them tomorrow. I also finished the jump packs for the meltacide guys who used to ride in a pod. Gloss coated the Rhino and Rapiers ready for decals, and did some work on a jump Librarian kitbash I made recently from the Jensus Natorian model. Oh and Captain Aphael whom Blindhamster made for me is coming along nicely too http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/BA-misc-WIP.jpg deathspectersgt7, Silas7, Blindhamster and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
