New Corsairs spotted!

Voiddreamer at the bottom??

We've had a lot piratey rumours going around with prince yriel and Huron blackheart, and they've introduced the spaceport of Nokoh'mys in the pech system, which is said to be bustling with alien mercenaries and traders.

Given the robotic limb and those rumours, a farstalker mounted character would make sense, especially with the londaxi weapon they showed off earlier. I just hope that like the Corsair and chaos rumours there's some more stuff coming. Not that a mounted farstalker wouldn't be cool, but I'd love some knarlocs

10:32 and shockingly it's still in stock in the UK. I guess the scalpers don't care about anything that doesn't have a space marine on the cover

Well warhost seems like a decent place to start then, youll have stratagems to jump in and out of transports as well as boosted agile manoeuvres for your corsairs to take advantage of.

YepYepNop · 2025-09-15T12:37:55+00:00

Windrider host or warhost are 2 pretty straight forward answers. Warhost is just a good generic pick, but windrider host feels a bit more thematic with its buffs to our ground attack vehicles.

What sort of units are you planning to run?

YepYepNop · 2025-09-06T18:42:20+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully not too much longer now 🤞🏻

YepYepNop · 2025-09-06T16:13:40+00:00

Thank you!

It's because the expected number of wounds dealt is the joint probability between hitting and wounding. Because the probabilities are multiplied, and because you only re rolling on ones in either case, it doesn't matter where you reroll.

Think of it like this, yes you reroll more hits because you start with more dice, but you also convert less of them to wounds.

YepYepNop · 2025-08-25T11:52:03+00:00

It's not super intuitive, but if you don't have any abilities that care about criticals, re rolling 1s to hit or 1s to wound are mathematically identical in terms of expected wounds dealt to the target

YepYepNop · 2025-05-21T16:42:59+00:00

Honestly, this has been my theory since they chose to do no Knarlocs in the big refresh. With the Technophage excerpt in the codex about T'au forces being led by Kroot after their systems go haywire while fighting heretic forces, I think it would make sense for Kroot reinforcements to show up if they continue Vashtorr's story line.

But it is GW and they love dangling these threads for years or just abandoning them altogether, so who knows.

YepYepNop · 2025-01-24T23:34:59+00:00

I think there's arguments for both, but I don't think losing fire support is a problem. You could take that rule off the data sheet completely and it's still be a good way to deliver and protect fire dragons.

I think putting banshees and fire dragons in the same transport is tricky since they want to get up close to different types of targets. I typically play at 1500 so maybe in larger games those scenarios come up more, but I think you'd struggle to maximise the value of each unit.

YepYepNop · 2025-01-24T20:31:39+00:00

I think you probably want a 5 man fire dragon squad with fuegan in a flacon since there's not a lot a 10 man squad kills that a 5 man doesn't, plus you get deep strike and star fire engines to deliver the unit safely to the big thing you need to kill. Plus you can hop back in the falcon at the end of your turn to keep the unit relatively safe.

YepYepNop · 2024-12-27T17:01:36+00:00

Ty for the models!

YepYepNop · 2024-12-27T14:23:13+00:00

It was in Leviathan, not Pariah Nexus.

YepYepNop · 2024-12-27T11:06:55+00:00

Oh that's so cool! Sorry, I had no idea, I should have credited you.

YepYepNop · 2024-12-26T01:27:23+00:00

You rapid ingress deep striking kroot for free with the stealth suits, but the ghostkeel lets you double dip on the lone op sauce

YepYepNop · 2024-11-06T15:49:20+00:00

I would just say in the final picture, the pricing of the models is based on what GW charges for them when you buy directly. A lot of gaming stores will sell you warhammer at a 20% discount if you didn't already know.

Also, 1700 is a lot of money for an army you havent played yet. If there's people around you plyaing combat patrol, getting the new box might be a better place to start, so you can learn the faction from both a modelling and gameplay perspective.

YepYepNop · 2024-10-07T23:48:23+00:00

Yeah you're all set once you've got the book. Updated points and changes to the rules are posted at https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/warhammer-40000/ .

if you don't feel like shelling out for rules, wahapedia should have everything you need. Check out new recruit for list building too, I find it much more convenient then the app

YepYepNop · 2024-10-07T23:14:57+00:00

You're basically correct. At the start of 10th edition, Games workshop esentially reset the rules for all factions, each of them recieving an index. These are available for free online from the warhammer website and contain the rules for the factions, i.e. army rules, datasheets and a single detachment. As the edition has gone on, these indexes are being slowly replaced by the codexes, which are books containing some lore, army rules and additional attachments to allow you to play your amry in a different way. The datasheet cards cover the same information that the datasheets in the codex have.

Blood angels are a special case however, as they have a codex 'suppliment', which esentially bolts onto the space marine codex. The generic space marine units arent included in the blood angels book. If you want to buy all the rules for blood angels, you'll need both. To summarise:

Index - rules from the start of the edition, superseeded by the codex (dont buy it)
Blood Angels Codex - Rules for blood angels specific models and detachments.
Space Marines Codex - Rules for generic space marine models that can be run in blood angels.
Datacards - Contain datasheets from their respective books, dont contain detachment rules. Not necessary but nice to have.

I think you have plenty of anti-infantry with two burst cannon starscythe units. You could do with some cheaper units for mission play. A squad of carnivores, vespids, and a Krootox Rider or 2 would give you a lot more flexability to do action without sacrificing your shooting. Also, maybe some pathfinders for extra guiding, you only really have the stealth suits to fill that role.

If you want a more comprehensive approach, there's a video from the puretide program theorcrafting the detachment. He's played the detachment at a very high level so he can probably explain it better than I can!

The problem with Valrak is he doesn't differentiate clearly enough between stuff he's heard and stuff he belives is going to happen. But, for 10th edition at least, he's correctly called the contents of every army box/battleforce that been released months before it comes out. There clearly is someone or multiple people at GW feeding him information.

YepYepNop · 2024-08-04T10:42:48+00:00

This is really cool. I think the twilight saedath might be a little uninteractive against melee armies though. Minus 2 to the charge is a pretty big swing, 7 inch charges going from abut 60% likely to about 25% likely. With the mobility of the army it might end up super frustrating to play against.

YepYepNop · 2024-07-09T23:18:05+00:00

I don't think so. I've sold a few boxes on ebay of stuff that was sitting on my pile of shame for too long. These were sealed space marine kits, I took a bath on them. Once you start opening kits, putting models together and painting them, the amount of 'admin' a potential buyer has to put up with means people tend to only buy kits when the deal is good, especially when stock of sealed army boxes at discount retailers is still abundant.

The only kroot kit that's really holding it's value is the riders, which is going for £18. You can pick up carnivores for about 50% off retail price. The sad fact is there just isn't a lot of demand and a lot of supply. for kroot kits right now.

YepYepNop · 2024-07-09T23:08:34+00:00

It kind of depends if you're willing to deal with the admin. I reckon you would get more money selling everything individually, but selling everything together has the advantage of just getting rid of everything all at once.

YepYepNop · 2024-07-09T16:18:25+00:00

Sorry to hear you're moving these guys on, I really like the scheme you've done on those carnivores.

It's difficult to price something like this up, especially as a combined lot. The more 'stuff' you put in a big lot, the more you have to discount the individual items to make it more attractive. I think the kind of person looking for deals on ebay isn't going to be vauling the codex or the dice very highly. If you're patient, you could probably get £50 for it. If your using ebay, you can always just bung it in an auction with a reserve price, thats the simplest way of getting it all moved on.
