>Should Custodes really have vehicles?
They wouldn't be able to properly execute their function as bodyguard of the Emperor without them. But I really hate the Eldar grav tank rip-offs that cuckstodes got, so ugly.

>>97903578
Man I saw one of these in person recently and Jesus christ they're so big. Bigger than their stats or the pictures imply. And yet, even they don't look like they could actually fit 7 custodes inside once you take away to grav nacelles lol.

>>97903578

Units cannot be deployed on or end movement on objective markers.

It obviously meant in range of the objective and around it, not literally physically on the objective marker, autist-kun.

Thanks for the replies back in the previous thread, I have a follow-up question: did the Incubi exist during the Heresy as well? I'm getting very mixed messages when searching for it.

>>97903714
Probably, yes. Aspect warriors from the oldest shrines show up in HH novels, and some sources (6th edition eldar codex iirc) say Arhra betrayed the other Phoenix Lords shortly after the Fall of the Eldar.

Big guns to go with having the best fighters and premium dreadnoughts is fine. It's Sisters that should fulfill many of the other odd niches they don't bother with, with psykers obviously off-limits, but GW gutted the fuck out of them in 3.0, so...

Now when will they do an Aquilon Shield-Captain? Coasting on effectively one HQ and a half for however long in Heresy is pretty fucking lousy.

>>97903578
>TQ
Why not?
You are hardpressed to counter enemy vehicles with infantry alone, unless terrain is high or you have high speed to get in to melta range.
As they are a fighting force, not having vehicles would be very odd.
I'm more surprised the venatari do not have more dedicated anti-vehicle gear.

>>97903633
Yeah, the lack of options for offhand items is really a shame. Besides that, this range is amazing.

Transports yes, tanks no, their job is to catch bullets for EMoney, not get into slap fights with enemy armour.
The same reasoning sorta as why I headcanon muh dudes to have all their vehicles operated by servitors, Astartes have advantages over humans in every respect sure, but their greater ones are being tougher, stronger and faster, which comes into play most in hand to hand combat, not sitting in the driver's seat of a rhino.

no eldar didn't exist in heresy no aliens did they only spawned later because of chaos or something all mentions of aspect shrines, harlequins, ork raiders, squats, rangdan or other aliens during, immediately before and immediately after the heresy are all lies.

no its half decent now because it adds a status and blast rules made it so that small blast actually hits its target more often then not.

Thats why its better. in 1.0 and 2.0 statistically speaking, small blast MISSED more then it would hit.

Noice. I currently have a reaver, two legit warhounds and a recast warhound from wartable.

I saw a tutoria where the guy painted the armour the just coloured the rest of the model around it, might try that

>>97905548
Solar aux aren't any more difficult to paint than kreigers, assuming you painted them. The armour is quite raised so you can do the under suit first then tidy up when you do the armour. they take contrast very well too.

that doesn't look nearly as bad as you implied, and cameras always make your models look worse.
looks like you're staying within the lines, managing to pick out straps and the tiny eagles.

Solar aux won't be any worse than that.

But that fortress look of the Lucius... daddy like

Depends on personal preference. I just like the brutal, blocky look of the Lucius pattern more.

I know someone here knows where to get a volkite for a full sized warhound, but of course when you ask them where they got it its just shitty memes about james and recasters getting "shut down" if theyre EVER mentioned.

>>97906088
Blasts used to always be 2D6 scatter, minus BS, unless you rolled a hit. For BS 4 this meant scattering 3" was the most likely result.

>>97906088
>How many scatter dice did they use to roll?
same as everything else, 2d6.
And average scatter would be 7" - BS which was 4, meaning you scattered on average 3" problem is, scattering 3" means you miss a 32mm target, and just barely clip a 40mm target.

That's the best way for them to be in HH, starting them down the path of Slaanesh. And I'm fine with them devolving over 10,000 years into "muh excess" by 40k.

To follow up on what everyone else said: Your BS didn't help you land direct hits. Your BS3 Militia fire support squad had the same chance of landing a direct hit with a frag missile as your BS5 Veteran Tacticals; that is, 1/3, because the scatter die had 2 hit faces. It was OK on bigger targets and/or bigger blasts because you couldn't scatter far enough to actually miss, but it got to the point where plasma TSS were actually stronger than plasma HSS purely because you couldn't count on your plasma cannons to hit infantry model, whereas the plasma gun was just straight up 2 shots at BS4.

>>97906262
>Your BS didn't help you land direct hits.
I mean it kinda did.
You could roll a direct hit, but the high your BS, the higher you had to roll before you started to scatter
With a BS of 4, rolling a 2, 3 or 4 on the scatter die was just as good as rolling a direct hit. So i mean yeah it did kinda matter.

BUT yes, The reason scatter sucked in 1.0 and 2.0 is because GW had been using the same scatter template size since 3rd, and the problem is bases did not stay the same size, so it was a lot harder to get more hits.

But yeah large templates did not have this problem becusae 2d6 - BS4 resulted in a hit on the intended target on average with a large blast .

Either way 3.0 blast rules? Big brained.

>>97906262
A nuncio vox (provided re-rolls for scatter in 2.0) did make plasma cannon hss quite reliable. But resolving up to 10 scatters with re-rolls took forever, easily doubled the duration of a shooting phase.

>>97906319
plus the other thing always was....you could just take las canons for the same cost iirc
