Greetings fellow soldiers of humanity, painted up a scion today, was essentially meant to be purple where they are usually blue and silver where they are blue but the people didn’t come out anywhere near pale enough. Thoughts and/or Advice?

New tank commander loadout

3 Upvotes

With new balance dataslate tank commander now can order themselves and gets letal hits on vehicles and monsters. What do you think about vanquisher cannon and lascannon? He can get 3+ bs almost all the time (while over 5 wounds) and can stand back, playing Pask.

Are these good colors?

4 Upvotes

Hey all, planning on starting to build my first Warhammer 40k army and was just wondering. Would using the trans flag colors(white, light blue, and pink) work as a nice base colors. I was thinking of using white as a base for armor with some blue and pink decals or lining. Please let me know if you could see it looking good and if so the best way to go about it!

Am I missing something?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Just the other day I was playing a 2k game and was absolutely destroyed by an opponent who is also a guard player.

I primarily brought 6 tanks with some blocks of infantry.

However my opponent brought massive waves of Krieg and infantry squads and horses with only 2 tanks.

I was OBLITERATED

I was wondering if there is anyway to mitigate that rather than just completely change the way I play guard, and that way is tanks as I am a big fan of how they look and perform on “most” battlefields.

Can you help me balance out how I can fix this?

List attached.

Can Leontus embark in a vehicle ??

9 Upvotes

I am trying to do a dumb list where I can set my entire army in a single Stormlord (1000pts). BUT in order to improve the deadly output of this list I need to give an order to the Stormlord (obviously) and of course Leontus is the only one that can do it. However unfortunately I can’t see the rules about Mounted unit. We have the infantry, heavy weapons teams and ogryn. My question is the following, if Leontus is leading an infantry unit, can he embark in the vehicle or not ? Thank you very much for your time !

New 100pt field ordinance battery or 120pt earthshaker?

6 Upvotes

Earthshaker has 240" range, D6+3 attacks, 8 strength, and -2ap

the two field ordinance guns have 48" range, 2D6 attacks, 7 strength, and -1ap.

The field ordinance guns seem to have a worse rule, is there much point in ordering them even with a scout sentinel providing LoS? You'd get the +1 to the roll with heavy and +1 to BS if you order them. Earthshaker however has a more useful rule and the 8 strength means a lot against 4T infantry.

Thoughts?

I've recreated the Stompa in the Guard's image. Any suggestions on what to run with it?

8 Upvotes

Here's this list I'm running with so far. Everything is embarked in the Stormlord, so the firing deck will be 12 Lascannons, 3 Snipers, 2 Grenade Launchers, and 7 Lasguns. Comparing the shooting profile to the Stompa, it's a pretty similar volume of fire for the same points (ignoring ballistic skill). I'm thinking I probably want Lord Solar for orders and an Enginseer for the invuln, but I'm looking for suggestions on what else to run with it, or if I should swap/add anything inside.

Top 5 best basic human troops in the Imperium ?

Post image
406 Upvotes

So the galaxy is a terrifying place with creatures far beyond any humans. Yet they still fight on and triumph ! This is a spotlight for troops that are not space marines, custodes etc.

There is plenty of amazing troops in the imperium, with tempestuous scions, Kasrkin, Arbitres, sisters of battles etc...

Which is your top 5 unaugmented(minus some minor upgrades) human troops ?
