Hai there ~

I have a question regarding the way my loadout for my Heavy Assault Spearhead Formation:

I have currently (in formation): 695 Points
- Terminators (Detachment Size: 4)
- Terminators (Detachment Size: 4)
- Leviathan Siege Dreadnought (Detachment Size: 4)
- Mastodon (Detachment Size: 2)
- Vindicator (Detachment Size: 4)
- Falchion (Detachment Size: 1)

The idea is the have all Terminators/Leviathans loaded into the Mastodons, and fly them to where they will do the most damage while my Falchion/Vindicator soften up the frontline. I preferable want to have each Mastodon loaded with: 4 Terminators and 2 Leviathans.

My Question is:
Can I load each Mastodon with: 4 Terminators/2 Leviathans (as long as both Mastodon stay together)
OR
Do I need the keep all 4 Leviathans in the same transport, as per detachment rule for the Leviathan detachment specifically ?

*Terminators (bulky) take 1 slot and Leviathans (walker) takes 2, for a total of 8 as per "Large Assault Transport" rules.
**Anyone detachment should be able to go anywhere since Mastodons are not tagged as "Dedicated Transport"

Thank you <3

I have finally finished painting a good chunk of my models and want to get into the gaming side ~

Anyone got any advice on where to start or how to build a good, solid marine-type list ?

Mostly questions such as:
- Whats the most common played points ?
- What a good point-to-formations ratio ?
- How a overall good army looks ?
- Is it better to focus on a specific archetype (i.e. mostly tanks, aircraft, mass-infantry, etc) or use a combined arms approach ?

I prefer to play Loyalist Death Guard and have pretty much one of every unit (but 32/8 infantry/support type infantry) and a warlord - if that helps ?

So far I have my fav combos are:
- Death Guard Reaping Host or Stonebreaker Siege
- 8 Jump-packs + 1 Thunderhawk
- 4 Drop-pod + 8 Plasma + 1 Palisade Drop-pod
- 8 Terminator + 4 Leviathan + 2 Mastodons
- 10 Marine/2 Spartan + 1 Command/1 Rhino +1 Fellblade

I’m wondering how everyone built their Zeratul promo, in clear plastic or fully painted ?

I really love the idea of clear plastic but also want to paint version,

I hate how there is only one base ;-;

I’m hoping you can simply slot on the base so you can switch between both, maybe a method of using magnets ?

Does anyone currently feel the damage taken is a lil high right now?

I burning through so many potion just basic grinding and don’t get me start if your doing KPQ between 21-26 xP

I find it’s hard loop, I take so much damage I burn a lot of pots, not much income to get new pots, can’t grind with pots xP

I did take 650 from king slimes stomp as a lvl 22 warrior today - Also lvl 22 horny mushroom are hitting for 100 (give or take)

Thoughts ?

*im fully gear with level 15-20 gear + 20 weapon ><

I'm a long time painter but only just starting to play the tabletop,

*Going to start out small with some close friends, mixture of Combat Patrol and 1000 Points games - nothing to meta/competitive.

Let me know what you think about the list and how im using each unit - vry open to ideas, advice from more veteran players ^^

----------

&gt; Commander Farsight
- Command
He will be running solo since I cant add another battlesuit team (due to point cost) but running this the theme is Farsight Enclave.

&gt; Commander in Coldstar Battlesuit + Crisis Sunforged Battlesuit Team
- Deep Strike / Anti-armour / Harasser
The idea is to have armoured/tank hunters, simple drop in, blaster, jump out using Starflare - simple but effective.

&gt; Ghostkeel Battlesuit
- Middle Field / Anti-armour
Simply keep them near cover around the middle board area for control.

&gt; Broadside Battlesuit (1 + 2)
- Backlines / Anti-armour
Simple; see big thing, shoot big thing.

&gt; Riptide Battlesuit
- Anti-infantry
Main focus is for a stronger, more tanky sprayer to clear out light/medium units since the est of unit are more anti-armour focused

&gt; Pathfinder Team
- Flanks / Markerlight
Poke and shoot harassment but mainly used to keep markerlights up for other units + they look cool.

&gt; Stealth Battlesuit Team
- Deep Strike / Markerlight / Harasser
Pop up and marker/harasser backlines.

Long time painter, first time Tau player ~

I have a question if somebody is willing to help:

Whats the difference between the Coldstar and Enforcer HQ/leader battlesuits ?

From what I see (using the warhammer app), they can use the same loadouts, except the Coldstar has the high output burst cannon option,

I guess the point cost, +3 save on the Enforcer, and assuming hey have different abilities ?

Why would I not just run all Coldstars over Enforcers, what am I missing ?

Its that time again: Tarantulas Turrets, am I right ?

So, from my understanding:
- Tarantulas Turrets can NOT move
- They MUST fire during movement phase (if not, during the advance phase)
- They MUST fire at the NEAREST target (matching its keyword: light, anti-tank, and skyfire)

Question:
From what I can understand, Tarantulas Turrets are counted as "standard infantry" - same as a legionnaire tactical model/base.

They can be mounted into transports such as Rhinos and they can dismount from said transport (or building if within base contact), right ?

I want to know:
Can they be mounted into Drop-pods in the same way as Rhinos ? I was hoping I could load them in and drop them in as a kinda reaction unit (sort of like using Drop-pods for normal detachments + deathstorm or shield Drop-pods)

For context:
I play Death Guard, I like to use their legion rule and Tarantulas Turrets for map control, funneling them into my strong points (or they will suffer some damage breaking past my marked terrain/turrets) x3

Via the rules, it should be do-able right ? From a "making sense" viewpoint, I can understand a Rhino crew deploying it but it couldn't get out a Drop-pod xD

Long time Warhammer painter, new to knights :D

Finally took the plunge and got some knights ^^

I have a Eye or Terror box, box of Armiger, and a Destirder to start with ^^
*I choose Frag/Gatling for the Destrider, x2 Warglavies, x2 Helverin, and Castellan

I'm really curious on how every choose their house/colours and what my next steps should be :3

I was thinking of getting a Knight Paladin and C-Rex box which would bring me to 2k points :3
