Ok, thanks for the answers :)

Hello all, I've got a quick question, in a French forum we have a discussion about the Death guard stratagem Eruption of Filth : In my opinion, every DG character can use this at death door. BUT if this character is Mortarion or a Biologicus, he will not explode with the Putrid Explosion on top of that. Other believe that Mortarion and the Biologus are the only character who can be affected by this Strategem (because of the "instead of using any other rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed"). And you cannot use Eruption of Filth on a Lord of Virulence/contagion, Daemon prince or any other DG character. So I'm asking the English native speaker : who is right ?

Nop, with the new CSM there isnt any transfer for EC/WE (they were on the ancient transfert sheet). You can also see there isnt any new CSM models with the EC or WE color paint by the Eavy metal (look all the pictures, you will have WB/IW/NL/BL/AL but no pink or red new models.

Or you could just paint the blade black and do a NMM with layers grey.

Thanks for this sharing this recipe. By any chance do you have any pictures of your models ? Anyone got an idea for painting the way of the last pictures ? Maybe the same recipe with Guilliman blue instead of Druchii violet ?

Hello there, I'm but an humble Emperor's Children player, and like all Emperor's Children i want to keep going to the next step of my army : Adding Slaanesh Daemon. Right now I'm in a strugle about the colors for my army, and I need some help. First thing first, this is my colors scheme : Plz excuse the :cussty pictures.. So a pre-heresy standard colors scheme, deep purple with flamboyant gold, bright silver, desatured white base and pink flesh for contrast (some of this heads need more work, the noise marine in second rank bare headed is what i aim) and a little opposition with green on those leaves. There is also black (not so much on those noise marine but other models will have more) and white (shoulder pads on all the elite sloot like Terminators, possessed, HQ). And because it's Chaos, it's Slaanesh more bright colors. But with some delicacy for we, human, aren't true servent of the Dark Prince(ss ?). You can see some blue (I will eventually go with more OSL) for the sonic weaponry ; I will add touchs of yellow-orange for lascanon, red in cultist hair. So now, Daemon. As you can see I insist on keeping a color theme, a link for all my units to be coherent as an army. So no crazy multicolors models but i do want to get different colors depending on the daemon : the standard "Daemonettes" skin (for daemonette and daemonic CSM), a seeker colors, furies of Slaanesh colors. I want basic daemonette to be seductive and strange and accord well with my space marine (knowing than some units like Daemon prince or possessed will have "daemonic" skins part. Can't go full red because that's Khorn, neither full bright blue or pink (Slaanesh), obviously not green neither. I dislike the official desatured greyish purple theme with daemonette hides, druchii violets, slaanesh grey.. I find the (un)official color theme great. Yea this one : But that's clearly not the official GW colors. So if someone know how to make this daemonettes ? And then, this army caught my eyes : http://topminiatures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/slaanesh-daemons-army-top-miniatures-9.jpg http://topminiatures.com/2017/04/12/daemons-of-slaanesh/ A bright violet with some blue. If someone know how to make those colors it'll be great ! Or if you got other colors idea.

Exactly what sFPanzer said : An usual biker is 2 attacks S4 0AP 1dmg in close while 2 attacks S4 0AP 1dmg in 24" and 4 attacks S4 0AP 1dmg in 12". So yes close combat attacks won't have the eventually penalty of cover and you could put some close combat weapons in your biker champ hands. But the more effective way to use biker is to get combi-bolter, 3 combi-weapons per squad (combi-bolter are nice if you run short on points) and reach those sweet 12". VotLW allow some surprise if your opponent didnt think 3 bikers dont have enought punch with only bolter. Get them chainsword as the pistol is useless when you'll always use the bike combibolter. Charge is only for finishing a squad or prevent it from firing next turn

Rulewise, Renégates chapters are cool for a biker detachment. Biker with melta or flamers can advance, shoot, charge. You also have to consider Black Legion, you cant charge if you advance, but you can fire even with your combi-bolter. And, let's be honest, Biker (and chaos space marine in general) are better for intimal dakka dakka than pure close combat.

Agreed with SyNidus, not that i'm happy with that.

Depends on what you call "troop". - If you are talking about the troop chooce, i would say go for Death Guard, Emperor's Children, World Eater or Thousand Son as their basic troop are Plagues, Noise, Berzekers or Rubrics are solid as a core for your list (Plague not so much, but the 3 others yes). So even if cultist (or poxwalkers, Tzangors) are great, you can still build a list without them. But if you are talking about the models (and i think you are), who care if they are troop, support or elite ? You can make an army without troop (but with fewer CP). And if your love goes for the "simple" legionnary you can also consider a Black Legion, Iron warriors or Alpha legion army. Forget the troop slot and put cult troop (as elite) and havok. Those are the same models, their are "basic" legionnaries but much more efficient than the standard CSM squad. And ofc, as sfPanzer said : CSM troop are an "average" unit. In a tournament you wont see them because cultist and cult troop are more efficient, but in friendly games you can have lots of fun with them. Don't let the actual tournament meta dictate your army if you are to play in friendly game.

I saw some great third party conversion piece for the Legion of the Damned. You can check that to get some pads or other armor Equipment with flames. Creat a new renegate warband forbid some units, but you could use : - Chaos Lord/Captain SM, Sorcerer/archivist, Techmarines, Chaplain/dark apostle - Centurion for count as Obliterators/Mutilators - Standard troops, raptor/assault squad, Havok/devastator - Biker - Dreadnought, Terminators, Chosen/Veteran squad Obviously no Chaos spawn, Defilers, Fiends, Daemon Prince, warp talon, possessed, Heldrake, Cult troop. Oh and i almost forgot : put your hands on the HELLFORGED PREDATOR from Forgeworld. Put every flamers you can on that masterpiece (and believe me, you can, A LOT : Infernal flamestorm canon for 2D6 autohit S5 Dmg2 AP-1 + 2 heavy flamers + 1 combi flamers + Infernal hunger to eat some enemy on close (oups..) and Burn them all.

That's something illogical, Chaos is supposed to be a threat to every conscient living being, and in the 40k lore even planete are qualifing as "conscient" being that can be corrupt by chaos. Let there is only human, and especially ony Artates in the chaos rank.. - Ork are rather indifferent to chaos but can be corrupted, and some has. Seeing some Khorne Ork on the tabletop would be so cool, (and fluff) - Tau are supposed to be totally immune to chaos, yet those idiots have been seen enraged by Khorn daemon and abandon their gun to charge Bloodletters (best part of the V8 rulesbooks). - Necron.. don't know where we are with them.. Old fluff they were really robots, but now some still got emotion and a conscience ?? - Eldar can totally fail to chaos, and are always on the edge with Slaanesh. I'm reading Lucius the Flawless blade at the moment, no spoil but we got Eldar vs Slaanesh daemon describing the ancestral link between them. You cant have Slaanesh Eldar coz they would be eaten as soons as they abandon themselfes. But Nurgle ? Tzeencht ? Khorn ? No logical reason this topic isnt more detailled in the fluff (+ i think the 3 other gods would just love to take Eldar under their wing to enrage Slaanesh..). V8 is supposed to put Chaos back as the grand antagonist of 40k. So let's hope for more Traitors legion, i hope for a Dark Mechanicum release too and if only we could have some beastmen and Renégates guard coming into GW.. (don't think renégates will come out of FW tho).

Didnt read about the "new" fluff for 30k about Raven guard. In the old fluff corax went full of despair after seeing what he had done to his legion in an attemps to refill his rank and went on a simili-suicide going all alone in the Eye of Terror in a very Poe-tish end of story. I find this version so cool, part of why I love the raven guard.

Agreed with Marshal : too much hype on 30k for GW to put some "living" primarch aside. I expect Fulgrim, Angron, Perturabo, Leman Russ, The Lion, Khan. On the contrary i'm afraid they go so much insane we got some shenaginans for the coming back of Sanguinus or Corax (wich mean throwing away a great deal about BA and RG fluff imo). Ofc no one expect to see all the primarch coming right now. We talk about years to come with other Xenos new models/faction in between (and i hope for a Dark Mechanicum release too..)
