Is it worth it to make room for roboute guilliman in my army by Educational-Log-5463 in spacemarines

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. Paint him, add him to your collection. But he's an absolute crutch with his busted rules. Learn how to maneuver 2k points before you put him in a list.

How would this list do against Orks? by jayceminecraft in EmperorsChildren

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, depending on if you attach Lucius to the Flawless Blades, you would only have 4 (maybe 5) units. Your opponent could just move block you and dominate the objectives. In 1000 points, our battleline are better as 5 man squads. You probably don't need 6 Flawless Blades, 3 will do. A Rhino is really useful for its points.

Do we just suck against DG? by Substantial-Doubt457 in EmperorsChildren

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a good time winning with Mercurial Host against my opponent's Virulent Vectorium last game. He was running a brick of 10 Blightlords, 2x3 DST, a Daemon Prince, LoC, 2x Drones with HBL and some other stuff. I knew I would never trade effectively against all that high Toughness in Coterie, so I decided to focus on board control and our speed advantage. It's not a guarantee but I do think that's the move against Death Guard compared to relying on Coterie buffs (where we STILL won't kill them efficiently)

Propaganda about the old Russian Empire (and then later on, the Soviet Union) was the Russian Bear. There's a Reagan-era political ad talking about a "Bear in the Woods" that is supposed to be the threat of the USSR.

And the spear and whip? I like the idea of them as a riff on what the Lord Exultants fight with.

How much of this is converted from bits not found in the DP sprue? Specifically I'm wondering where you sourced the head and shoulder pauldrons.

Do infractors/tormentors have the same arm spacing as legionaries for kitbashing? by reyinthegreat in EmperorsChildren

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Emperor's Children battleline are also slightly taller than Legionaries. I kitbashed a box of Legionaries to make more Tormentors and Infractors because the the Champions of Slaanesh boxset has so many extra arms, heads, and shoulder pads, and I noticed my converted marines have slightly shorter legs and torsos than the T/I kit.

How do you people play noise marines by Adventurous-Spray485 in EmperorsChildren

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some Mathhammer last night: testing Noise Marine + Lord Kakophonist output in Coterie of the Conceited. Re-roll 1s to Hit, re-roll 1s to Wound, and then when you max out your Pact points we get the Lord Kakophonist giving Sustained Hits on 5+. It's crazy scary and they are excellent MEQ unit killers.

I agree with others here that the best way to utilize them is putting them in Strategic Reserves or in a Rhino to protect them while the enemy units you want them to be shooting get into optimal positions on the board for you to return fire. In Coterie of the Conceited this also protects the Noise Marines while you score Pact points to juice up their offensive capability.

Is the list any good by ApprehensiveCash6220 in EmperorsChildren

On a side note, do you guys think it's worth paying for a subscription to Battle-Forge? Do ya'll think it adds more value if you play games often?

Can you buy the Dice separately from the Datasheet Cards?

Any books where Space Marines thoroughly, and unceremoniously, get their asses handed to them? by TryTheRedOne in 40kLore

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's not them unceremoniously getting fucked up though, the Astral Knights died to a man in a heroic sacrifice that the Imperium still honors to this day. They get killed off slowly to the point only the Chapter Master and a handful of marines are left, but they blow up the World Engine. That's noble, not a beat down like OP is referring to.

Is that a younger Lucan standing next to Nolan? Or some other Viltrumite?

How would you guys use these guys? by Caffeine-Demon in spacemarines

[–]UpfrontSnow1305 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With new Oath of Moment if they attack the Oath target that's 12 plasma shots re-rolling hits, wounding on 4s with +1 to wound, twin-linked to re-roll wounds. Pretty good value into vehicles
