Warhammer 40K Megathread V2: Matt Ward for Spiritual Liege 2012 - Games

[QUOTE=gamerman345;34083599]I was thinking that it could soak up some firepower, but now that you mention it I am not 100% certain its going to be much use. Having no proper armour makes me nervous :c[/QUOTE] Get another Vindicator, apparently they work great in pairs. I have two myself, but my army's scheme consistently changes, and they're both still in the basecoat phase.

My lord of change arrived today. :D

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34084429]My lord of change arrived today. :D[/QUOTE] I ordered one but I got a great unclean one. I guess it [b]changed[/b] [sp]not really but I couldn't resist[/sp] Are you planning on playing with it? Or is it just a show-model?

Perhaps. My LGS isn't really competitive at all, and we throw lists together when we get there, so it is a defiant yes. It may have a place for a thought out list though. Somewhere along the line of Gift of chaos spam, because the sorcerers are going to be so close.

I never thought I would say that about Imperial Guard but those mutherfuckers are badass! [img_thumb]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8SiPeXj7ws/TScY4RPIOPI/AAAAAAAAAr0/YQWIqrSgbQg/s1600/_MG_6672.JPG[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;34085188]I never thought I would say that about Imperial Guard[/QUOTE] DKoK or not, Imperial Guardsmen are nothing but badasses.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34085324]DKoK or not, Imperial Guardsmen are nothing but badasses.[/QUOTE] Agreed. As far as looks go, DKoK, Steel Legion and Vostoyans take it but pretty much Guardsmen as a whole are badass. Makes me miss the Lost and the Damned.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34085324]DKoK or not, Imperial Guardsmen are nothing but badasses.[/QUOTE] I disagree, IG are a bunch of cowards in tincans armed with laser pointers. I think than DKoK are awesome because they just don't give a shit about anything. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Even though they're still IG.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;34085511]I disagree, IG are a bunch of cowards[/QUOTE] Stat wise, yes. Fluff wise they are badasses.

LASCANNONS GLANCE ON 5+?[/QUOTE] They do have amazing thanks though (as long as you don't deep strike Necron Lords behind them to slice off their barrels in one hit) but their infantry is laughable. I didn't get a chance to face Karskins or Ogryns though. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] To me, standard IG army takes a second place on sillyness and goofiness just below Orcs.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;34085648]deep strike Necron Lords behind them[/QUOTE] Area denial with standard guardsmen?

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;34085685]Area denial with standard guardsmen?[/QUOTE] Yeh, definitely. I just remembered one of my matches where I had a Necron Lord full of gear and he almost single-handedly annihilated an IG army by deep striking behind it, destroying the tank and making Guardsmen lose their moral checks. I think that was the fastest win I ever got, that was one lucky deep strike though.

Shit is god damn horrifying until you realize you kill them by the tens with a single marine. Fucking conscripts man, and if they have commissars they are unbreakable.

If you ask me, the fact that IG armies are so poorly equipped in relation to other 40k armies is what makes them badass. Especially when you consider the fact that they don't lose all the time. PDF forces, on the other hands? cowards and incompetents.

A blob of guardsmen on the tabletop can be terrifying as it is entirely probable that you simply can't kill all of them, meaning they will drown you by sheer weight of numbers in combat. That commissar that can keep spawning endless waves of conscripts makes this ten times worse.

But that aside, I'd introduce my friends, Plague Marines with Flamers. They'll be here shortly.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;34086655]There's a commissar that can do that? But that aside, I'd introduce my friends, Plague Marines with Flamers. They'll be here shortly.[/QUOTE] Isnt a commissar, I think he's a platoon comm, or company comm. It's Commander Chenkov.

Chenkov does give a Kill Point through use of his ability. It just doesn't matter, since all your shit is tarpitted, and the Basilisks fuck you up.

Going off the current discussion for a sec. I just remembered the time some guy at my GW killed THREE TERMINATORS WITH ONE BARBED STRANGLER. Those were good times, we all high fived him, and he got a $0.01 gift voucher. The voucher was literally the manager saying "You need a reward" and pulling out a penny.

[QUOTE=Broguts;34087012]Isnt a commissar, I think he's a platoon comm, or company comm. It's Commander Chenkov.[/QUOTE] Just read it, he just picks up old squads, if the squad is killed his ability is useless.

[editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Even though they're still IG.[/QUOTE] Um... have you ever watched an IG batrep? Or an Ork batrep? Orks especially... BS2? AHAA!! But yeah, tarpit armies play the objectives not the opposing army. Seriously, I've watched orks get blasted to smithereens but oh look, you don't control anything? Shame. Guess the orks win again.... IG is like orks with super reliable armor. There's a reason why leafblower lists exist.

What are your guys' thoughts on Ogryns? I feel like they could use some more fan-fluff.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;34088038]What are your guys' thoughts on Ogryns? I feel like they could use some more fan-fluff.[/QUOTE] They're hilarious but they do not perform well on the battlefield

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;34088038]What are your guys' thoughts on Ogryns? I feel like they could use some more fan-fluff.[/QUOTE] They have The Ballad of Gav and Bob, they don't need anymore fan-fluff.

As much as I do like Ogryn (Fluff and DoW (couple with Psykers for "Circus is Back in Town")), their tabletop position is pretty bad. Ratlings are just overall hated, from what I know. Also. You can never have enough DeathStrike Missile Launchers.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;34088038]What are your guys' thoughts on Ogryns? I feel like they could use some more fan-fluff.[/QUOTE] I love them in fluff, but in TT? They're just not worth it, not competitively, not for fun.

9 leman russ tanks in one game, end of fucking story, gaurd wins.

My first list in 40k. Voila. CCS- bolt pistol company standard vox caster. PCS1- bolt pistol platoon standard vox caster Infantry Squad 1- vox caster grenade launcher Infantry squad 2- vox caster grenade launcher PCS2- Bolt pistol Platoon Standard vox caster Infantry Squad 3- vox caster grenade launcher Infantry squad 4- vox caster grenade launcher Heavy weapons squad- Heavy bolters

Okay. My idiot friend who used to play is quitting/has quit 40k and wants to sell his army. He said that anything I make over 200 dollars goes to me. What would you guys value this army at. Sorry for the terrible formatting. I'm working on getting a better list with model counts. Also, assume that the paint is crap. [code]2 dreadknights predator khorn berzerkers 3 or 4 regular squads 1 squad possessed CSM 2 hq squad leaders(Not sure what he means by these. I'm assuming sergeants) Lucius the Eternal Kharn the Betrayer (metal)[/code]
