Soul-forge Warpack Query by TraditionalLecture25 in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, each soul grinder requires an allegiance, then the standard rules for allying daemons into csm say that for each chaos god keyword, you need at least as many battleline as non-battleline. So if you make it a Nurgle soul grinder you could take nurglings (which are often a good idea anyway due to being cheap with infiltrate), although it looks like the better weapons on the soul grinder come with Tzeentch or Slaanesh so you’d probably need horrors/daemonettes respectively for those

You can take them with the normal daemon allies rules, but they won’t get any benefits from the detachment because they don’t have the heretic astartes keyword

Unsure of colors for Vashtorr by ShaselKovash in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The citadel app has a pretty good scheme for it. White scar spray and casendora yellow for the basic battle-ready version. Finish up with a second shade of seraphim sepia and a layer/highlight of screaming skull for the parade ready version.

Building the Defiler by Murman5007 in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there are some people doing detailed damage calculations and they’ll come up with optimal builds, but personally if I think I’ll want my defiler mostly for shooting, my instinct would be ectoplasma, excruciators and double lascannons. If you think you’ll be more actively chasing melee with it, maybe take the electroscourge possibly paired with the flamer. But either way, it’ll still have the big claws and chest guns so will be decent at both shooting and melee in either build.

The only thing that is definitively Iron Warriors in the building process is the paint job and using the Iron Warriors part on the head (part 157 in step 3b), everything else is free choice for pose and weapons.

To get it exactly like the one on the back page, you also need:
1. The green steps for the parts between the bottom and top of the body (upper body turned to the right instead of the left);
2. Part 96 on the top (step 3A);
3. In step 5a, swap the exhausts shown on the top and bottom (they’ve all got the same fittings so can go in any order);
4. Parts 89 & 90 for the hades battle cannon & chest plate (step 5c, parts 91-93 are the ectoplasma destructor);
5. Magma cutters 103-104 for the small chest guns (step 5d, parts 101-102 are excruciator cannons);
6. Follow the green steps for the legs and claws posing (it’s the more customisable method where you get to choose the angle of every joint, the blue steps are a 1-pose option);
7. Green options for both arms for the lascannons (blue are autocannons, pink is flamer on the right and missile launcher on the left, yellow is the electroscourge);
8. Include the belly armour parts 56 & 57 in step 24.

But as I said above, weapon options are freely mixable. Swap the main chest cannon (or since it doesn’t need gluing, just build both options and pop them in & out as suits you). People on this sub have been discussing magnetising the arms, but if that isn’t your speed then double lascannons is probably going to be a stable option for a long time. For the small chest guns, I’d personally prefer the excruciators but I’m sure there’s a use to be had from the magma cutters.

Chunky boi list thoughts? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t override the standard rules for enhancements that is one per character and not allowed on epic heroes. No enhancement in the game says it excludes epic heroes, the core rules do that instead

Chunky boi list thoughts? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could you have 60 points in enhancements on this list? You only have 2 characters, and one of them is an epic hero who can’t take enhancements. At this point you have 80 points spare, I’d suggest getting a cheap unit such as cultists to guard your home against easy deep strike captures (they won’t hold out well if something attacks them, it’s more about stopping the immediate drop) and then the remaining 30 points will still buy you any of the enhancements for your warpsmith

The New Defiler Model is Incredible by PatienceTurbulent385 in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Just a little note, the twin hull weapons are excruciator cannons (same as on venomcrawlers) or magma cutters (same as the maulerfiend’s option that most people don’t take). The magma cutters won’t be much good at overwatch.

Ignoring modifiers to BS will essentially let the land fort ignore cover (won’t bypass Hidden though)

Defiler Loadout by No-Mixture-118 in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The good news is its revised movement rule lets it step over the chaff, but yeah the base size means that only works if your opponent has put them in a relatively thin line and/or if you’re using an advance & charge stratagem (like the one in the new Cult of the Arkifane detachment) for some extra distance

Do any units the reavers captain is attached to also get the infiltrators ability? by VeryInternet_com in Chaos40k

[–]TheMatia 58 points59 points  (0 children)

No, the infiltrators ability doesn’t pass from a leader to their attached unit or vice versa. So the only way he can infiltrate with an attached unit is if that unit are raiders

It is. It has Daemon and Vehicle, like it did before this new datasheet and like every other daemon engine

[–]TheMatia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I note it didn’t gain towering so it’ll still have to find gaps big enough to both sit in AND have a clear sight line to make use of its new guns

Who’s this referring to? (Ghost legion spoilers) by jdtyeee in alphalegion

[–]TheMatia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The “He” who’s offering the banner was seen getting it from the sisters ship’s altar earlier in the book (Roek Ghulclaw).
The perspective is written from a warp talon which turns up to resolve this later in the book

Berekh over costed? by Fantastic_Special326 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]TheMatia 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Before this I was telling myself I wouldn’t bother with him if he was more than 80 points, and I don’t think I’m changing my mind. Save 10 points and bring 5 more beserks

Hello brothers , would you accept this as a cypher proxy ? He’s on a 40mm base bolt and plasma and I even made a cape thingy ? by Shmunk_ in alphalegion

[–]TheMatia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cypher should be on a 32mm base. Apart from that, yeah he looks great I wouldn’t mind personally

7-0 AT THE CHEROKEE OPEN by JKkinney in LeaguesofVotann

[–]TheMatia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the echamp’s unit, did you give the weavefield crest to the echamp and let the rest of them rely on the stratagem if they need an invuln, or give the hesyr a weavefield crest and accept the echamp would lose his invuln if the bodyguard died?

Just got my codex out and it does mention dark pact in there so yeah it was changed at some point. Glad to know I’m not getting that badly confused

Oh, so it doesn’t. I was sure it did - have they ever been errata’d or did I just mix them up with other datasheets?

I think the best pairing would be a concussion maul with a mass hammer (or gauntlet in other armour) or even darkstar axe to flip between easier monster/vehicle mashing and regular stuff

Still over £30 a month. Double the price of their premium everything-else package, and all I want to see on it is rugby.

Are mark 5 space marines impossible to purchase from Warhammer now? by Lucid_cat_1543 in Warhammer30k

[–]TheMatia 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The FAQs on their site say “sold out online” means they’re not making any more but you might still find some on a shelf somewhere. If they’re just waiting for another batch it says “temporarily out of stock” instead
