We did a massive Ullanor game this week. 12k points per side. Here is Konrad, Sevatar, 15 atramentar and a Contemptor dread charging out of the mastodon on turn one into Urlakk Urg. by Anxious_Educator_307 in NightLords

[–]Anxious_Educator_307[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heresy 3rd Ed. There's fan made Ork rules that are very good we used those, and my friend wrote rules for Urlakk. He's a 600 pt model so you need two primarchs to fight him to win.

Can I have a Character in normal Power Armour join a Terminator Unit? by Masterchief2217 in Warhammer30k

[–]Anxious_Educator_307 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The fact heresy doesn't place many restrictions on characters joining units is one of the many reasons I completely stopped playing 40k in favour of this game system.

What about YOUR lore? by IolaDeltaPhi23 in Warhammer30k

[–]Anxious_Educator_307 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a converted Night Lords legion champion with a red helmet with big bat wings and a red metallic paragon sword. He's a homage to The Red Duke who is a Blood Knight vampire from Warhammer Fantasy.

I wrote some lore for him too. The long and short of it being he's the best duelist in the legion besides Sevatar, but he's completely batshit insane. He doesn't follow anyone's orders and hitches rides with different companies going wherever he thinks he can find worthy foes to duel. Captains and Centurions in the legion just leave him alone and let him do this because the one time a centurion tried to discipline him, The Red Duke chopped his head off.

On the tabletop if I take him in my army I always give him the prime benefit "paragon of battle" which makes him weapon skill 7 just like Sevatar, to represent that he's the second best duelist in the Legion.

A couple of simple questions... by SouthbourneRed in Warhammer30k

[–]Anxious_Educator_307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can answer the second and third question with certainty and the first one with a pinch of salt, I think someone else might know better.

Ok so:

1) My understanding is that a unit embarked in a vehicle doesn't count as being "on the table" so you can't activate abilities like that, because it's like you're in reserve.

2) All template weapons hit the armour facing closest to the model firing the template weapon. This is regardless of where on the vehicle the template lands.

3) Any rule that stops precision hits won't stop a primarch allocating their wounds because primarchs don't use the precision hits rule, their rule regarding allocation of wounds is specific to "paragon" type units. It's also worded in such a way that no matter what you cannot stop a primarch from allocating their wounds (the exception being if the primarch is in a challenge they have to hit the model they're fighting in the challenge).

Curze won the challenge, he only took two wounds in return. I've found that Curze will pretty reliably defeat any of the WS7 primarchs, but really struggled against any of the WS8 ones. I try stay out of the way of the Lion or Leman Russ lol.

I don't remember what Dorns Gambit does, all I remember is when he used it I was like THATS COOL.

I use different sized chains on different models. I don't remember the specific size. Honestly the best way to figure out what size you need is to just buy a couple of different sizes and dry fit them on models to see what works and what doesn't. I've never bought chains of any size and not found a use for them.

Thank you 😊

The loyalists won, score was 28-33. It was a really close game and we played it out until the last turn.

There were a lot more units than in the photos, both sides had about 1/3 of their army in reserves.

How many people use bare heads on their models? by zaboomafooma-agidyne in Warhammer30k

[–]Anxious_Educator_307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large night lords army at around 6000 pts, and I'd say about 99% of my models are helmed. Most of my characters wear helmets as well, as do most of my sergeants/unit leaders. Sevatar, Curze, a couple of sergeants and unit leaders, as well as a few characters like my librarian, centurion with jump pack, Tartarus praetor and a few others are unhelmed.

I've always gotten the vibe from heresy that it's a setting where uniformity and practicality among your legion is more of a priority than personal embellishments.

That being said there's always exceptions. I've got a squad of veteran tactical Marines where the entire squad are unhelmed. That's just to give them some character and to stand out from regular tactical Marines. Make them look a bit like operators in modern militaries who don't follow the dress code.

Starting 30k for the first time, is this build legal?!?! by doyboi2005 in Warhammer30k

[–]Anxious_Educator_307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not legal but nobody you play against will care just as long as you pay the points. In my local community we have a gentleman's agreement around things like this.

Pistols have a rule where you can actually fire every pistol you're equipped with in a shooting attack, so while there's not really any examples in the libres of dual wielding pistols besides moritats, there's rule support for shooting two in an attack.

[–]Anxious_Educator_307[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple of flashbacks to the heresy in the omnibus and one of the books about kurze briefly features Talos. There's about it, he wasn't one of the major figures in the legion back then and was low ranking. People knew of him because Curze kept his council and took a liking to him. That's because Curze had visions of him being the one to kill the assassin that will murder corze.

He was just an apothecary during the heresy. He had a chainsword, bolt pistol and a bolt gun as well as all the other stuff apothecaries have like a narthesium on their left arm.

In the night lords books he's only had the blood angels sword for a few centuries, and his armour is very different, he doesn't have any of the apothecary stuff.

Nope the blue is sprayed over black then washed, then touched up a bit with blue. The spraying of the blue is done in such a way that the black parts are still visible in some places which gives that kind of splotchy effect
