I wanted to get back into warhammer 40K and I wanted to know if there were any events that are happening in NYC. If anyone has info about it please let me know!

Whats the verdict on unit sizes for chosen and possessed. I know possessed arnt optimal right now but as a word bearers player they are a must. Im using packbound with a brick of 10 possessed with a master of possession and a brick of 10 chosen with a lord and master of executions. Im now wondering if its better to split these up or maybe just one, For more options and board control. My issue is it that i am losing efficiency with the unvided re reroll wounds strat. Maybe keeping the chosen together and splitting the possessed into two 5 man units is best?

Thanks for any replies

Majority t3 who run the north east open is running another gt next weekend check out there facebook page for more details.it also at a new venue

Okay guys this is the list I am currently running. Obviously I love Daemon Engines but I am actively looking to improve the list. I am usually playing in a fairly casual environment, though I do venture into tournaments on occasion. I am working towards improving my tournament game using this detachment. As far as models the only thing I don't have is Cypher. So I am asking the community for suggestions and would love to hear all opinions for improvement.

My very first tournament! And will be my fourth, fifth, and sixth game of Warhammer total! This is the list I'm pretty settled on for tomorrow, it's a doubles tournament where you randomly get a new partner each round:

Retaliation Cadre:

Coldstar Commander

1x Pathfinder Squad

1x Crisis Sunforge Battlesuits

2x Stealth Battlesuits

2x Riptide Battlesuits

1x Ghostkeel Battlesuit

(I probably should run a Sky Ray instead of the Ghostkeel and take an enhancement on the Commander, but eh, Ghostkeel is my favorite model and already painted, and lol the Sky Ray is grey plastic.)

Is there any sense in taking the Heavy Burst Cannon on one of the Riptides? I would like something with a lot of hits to take out infantry, but I'm guessing it's probably too good to be able to double up on the Riptide's Ion Accelerator?

I'm a new player looking to get into 40k, and building my first list before I start assembling an army. Currently I'm looking at a LAG list for Blood Angels. Looking for any input or advice I can get on the list, as well as general advice on how to play it.

Astorath (105pts): The Executioner's Axe, Warlord
Chief Librarian Mephiston (125pts): Fury of the Ancients, Plasma Pistol, Vitarus
Captain with Jump Pack (95pts): Rage-Fuelled Warrior, Melee and Pistol, Power Fist, Plasma Pistol
Chaplain (85pts): Absolver Bolt Pistol, Crozius Arcanum, Speed of the Primarch

5x Assault Intercessor Squad (75pts)
5x Assault Intercessor Squad (75pts)
5x Intercessor Squad (80pts)

5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts)
5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts)
6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (180pts)
10x Death Company Marines with Jump Packs (240pts)
5x Infiltrator Squad (100pts)
6x Sanguinary Guard (270pts)
Ballistus Dreadnought (130pts): Armoured Feet, Ballistus Lascannon, Ballistus Missile Launcher, Twin Storm Bolter
Gladiator Lancer (160pts): Armoured Hull, Icarus Rocket Pod, Ironhail Heavy Stubber, Lancer Laser Destroyer, Two storm bolters, 2x Storm Bolter
Impulsor (80pts): Armoured Hull, Ironhail Heavy Stubber, Orbital Comms Array, 2 Fragstorm Grenade Launchers, 2x Fragstorm Grenade Launcher

Chaplain will go with the Bladeguard Veteran Squad to ride in the Impulsor. I went with a Orbital Comms Array to help support the squad, but am not entirely sold to that idea, and am considering taking the additional firepower instead. Jump Pack captain I'm torn between the Sanguinary guard, or a plain Jump pack assault intercessor squad. If I went assault intercessor, I would probably combine the 2x5 into 1x10. I took Plasma Pistol and Power fist everywhere I could, but would appreciate any feedback on the vehicles weapons, as it seems each serve a different purpose, and I'm not really sure what I'm lacking on this list.

I was leaning towards Astorath as warlord, but that was before I added Mephiston. I think both will be played fairly forward and aggressive, so I'm torn on any differences it might make when it comes up. I feel like I'm lacking some Scouts or other disposable units to capture uncontested secondaries and prevent deepstriking with, but I'm not sure where to cut in order to include them.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Every game I play against my friend, I always lose, no matter what army I use against him. He plays thousand sons and just stomps me into the ground regardless of what I do.

Recently, I picked up Black Templars as a new army and wanted to try it out against him. I got tabled turn 2.

I was trying to hide my crusaders behind the cover as I moved up, but apparently that doesn't work because infantry can shoot through ruins (?) and all his units were infantry except Magnus and a Predator. So all my squads got shot to bits before I could get into melee to do anything against them. Not to even mention that his rubrics all had flamers which killed me on overwatch whenever I did get to charge. I managed to kill Magnus with my sword brothers led by Helbrecht, but then I got shot to pieces afterwards.

So I guess I'm trying to figure out ways I can improve myself and get better at the game. How do I learn and improve so I don't get beaten every time I play? Where can I go to learn and make my army able to actually do some damage?

I have been trying to build a list for my first tournament and as part of it I have been looking at winning Necron lists and the number of C'tan in lists varies wildly. Some run 0, some run 2 and then there is Settlers of C'tan running all 6. What considerations do you make when deciding if you want to bring C'tan in a list and if you are bringing C'tan how many?

Hey so im pretty new to 40k competitive and wanted to ask for some feedback my Main Questions are :

1. Is the Techmarine a good choice in this list or would a lieutenant or another unit be better?

2. Are two scouts squads good or should i replace one of them if i have points left over?

3. Other then the drop pod i have nothing to deep strike with i haven't had to many issues with it so far but with firestorm deep strike seems really strong so should i add something?

4. Should i split up my Erradicators or keep them together and if i should Split should they all go in Reserves or Just one unit?

5. I Usually Put Bladeguard in the Redeemer but im not sure if Aggressors wouldn't be better?

6. Should i Remove the Company Heroes and put He'stan in the drop pod together with the Infernus marines Or is Company Heroes the way to go?

If there is anything you are concerned about aside from these Question please Tell me I appriciated any feedback about my List and i Appriciate anyone that Read all of this Thank you very much

when a unit disembarks from its transport, is it common practice to perform the disembark and the normal move in one physical movement or should i always be doing the <3" disembark and then the movement seperately?

assuming theres not an overwatch or other shenanigans going on in between.

Currently I've build a list for a local league and I've been practicing with a friend, and currently I've been losing the game consistently turn 2, with GW terrain set ups. My opponent is fielding 2 bricks of aeldar bikes, with characters and other buffs each can shoot 27 s6 ap-1 damage 2 ignores cover, lethal hits, sustained 1, full rerolls to hit, plus other shots from the characters, and that just deletes any of my units, because they move so fast, and they can fire and fade, I can't interact with them, and also when I get close, overwatch kills almost anything that gets in charge range. And additionally in the middle there is an avatar, which I can't get close either.

Any recommendations are welcome, in either play style, or changes in the list. Also I don't want to tailor my list to him, as I mentioned it's an all commers list, but it's been so brutal for a while now that I've become somewhat desperate.

During in person games (which I prefer) I seem to do a lot better with points, scoring, and my win rate is pretty middle of the road. Unfortunately, I just moved to a new area and haven't been able to get any games in leaving TTS as my only option for a bit. But in TTS with the same list I seem to always get demolished. Is there something I'm missing? I don't see how I can practice for big GTs on TTS when I get stomped. Does anyone have any tips?

Hey everyone! I recently went to a local tournament as I normally do. I run a run of the mill Shield Host list. However today I ran into a Monster Mash Tyranid list. I thought I would be fine but...I got steamrolled. I'm trying to figure out if its just a bad matchup or if I did something wrong.

He went first and proceeded to Alpha Strike 750 Points off of my board which is more than I've ever personally seen. I tried to get some primary points and attempt to kill some of his units but I basically lost as soon as he finished his second turn. I only killed a screamer and that was all I was able to damage.

I'm trying to understand where I went wrong because it seems like this Monster Mash list is basically a Strength/DPS check. The problem is unless your playing Astra I have no clue how someone could be successful against this list. He had 2 squads of 5 Toughness units and all the rest of the units had 10+ toughness. I brought the standard 2 Callidus Grav Tanks but one instantly died to a Tyrannofex and the other lost 10 wounds.

Was there something I'm missing? Was my list somehow bad despite it being a standard competitive Custode list?Is it a bad matchup? How does this type of list not do better(Based on world stats it appears to have a 55%) I just have never been steamrolled to that degree before. Hoping to understand why.

Hey all!

I’m playing a doubles tournament and my teammate is running Aldar. I’m a grey knights player and I’m torn between two lists.

Hammer and anvil style (10 man, kaldor, knights) or playing pure point scoring - maybe even fixed with 5 man units and a callidus.

As this is my first competitive event I would really appreciate some thoughts from people who would know how best to pair our armies abilities, weaknesses and strengths. My teammate is still flexible with their army list.

So I’ve been brewing this 2k list, trying to work out if I’ve balanced everything properly:

Marneus Calgar (185pts)

Roboute Guilliman (285pts)

Apothecary Biologis (110pts): Fire Discipline

Lieutenant (65pts)

6x Aggressor Squad (240pts)

5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts)

5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts)

6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (180pts)

5x Infiltrator Squad (100pts)

5x Scout Squad (65pts)

5x Scout Squad (65pts)

Gladiator Lancer (160pts)

Gladiator Lancer (160pts)

Storm Speeder Hammerstrike (125pts)

Impulsor (80pts)

The idea being that I have the infiltrators, 2 scouts and 2 JPI’s for scoring secondaries, and a number of midfield brawlers for handling NML. Do I have enough anti armour?

I built most of my special weapons sisters with ACSB in 9e because of the blessed bolts stratagem being so strong, but this edition I’m not sure what purpose they serve. It seems like the only advantage they have over flamers,meltas is their 24 inch range, but other than that, the other special weapons seem to outperform them. Flamers do better against horde armies and meltaguns do better against high toughness enemies. It seems like the ACSB having 2 damage was supposed to make it anti-elite infantry, but only have 4 strength and 0 AP means you’ll hardly ever be wounding.

Has anyone found a use for this weapon?

Hi there gentlemen,

I play world eaters, and I'm slowly getting used to the faction. However, I still struggle to use my jakhals properly. Sometimes they'll do a wonderful job by charging stuff that they can't kill but preventing them to move or reach certain objectives, sometimes they'll just die without doing anything...and I feel like it's ENTIRELY my fault.

So I'm coming to ask : what's the best way to use them honestly?

Thank you very much indeed.

I’m starting a collection and I’m trying to figure out which Space Marine chapter to go with. Is there any difference between them or certain buffs or debuffs you get with different chapters?

TLDR +4W -1T

So 26w with T11

The datasheet is from the new chrismass box

Link of auspex video with the photo youtu.be/JVeqUkwtPv0

Don't get me wrong, I love 10th edition. I'm excited for the new detachments we're getting for Grotmas and want to see codexes for my armies soon. But I can't help but feel a reoccurring trend where movement and damage are all that really matter in my games. Movement is valuable because it lets you use your points in ways that earn your victory points, and damage is useful because it negates points and movement.

IDK, I'm not that good, so I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

Looking to hear some critiques or opinions on a list I’d like to run here soon. It is technically a Space Wolves Gladius list but that’s only for 1 non named character.

Space Wolves Detachment: Gladius

Characters: Captain Captain in terminator armor Librarian Wolf Guard battle leader in terminator armor (with fire discipline)

Battle line: x10 Assault intercessors

Transport: Impulsor

Other Datasheets Company Heroes Infiltrators Land Raider Scout Squad Scout Squad Storm Speeder Thunderstrike Terminator Squad Vindicator Vindicator

The idea is to have the company heroes in the impulsor for the side NML objective, the assault intercessors in a land raider for middle objective, terminators dropping and deleting things, and two vindicators shifting fire as necessary.

I also get that it’s not ideal to have no named characters and terminators aren’t very meta, but honestly I feel like I found a decent way to make them work and desperately want to run them lol

I’m pretty new to 40k and was wondering where I could find games and tournaments to play?
