That dreadnought drop pod is my next GET - you can carry 1 Dreadnought of 9 or less wounds.
Iron Hands can drop those turn one, then any deep strike units gotta 9" away lulz.
That is like 1/10th of the FW price, might get one too.

Chaplains are tite, my first mini was a chap in termie armor.
Captain with master craft bolter is tite, good synergy for Heavy intercessors and eliminators.

this real cool https://public.tableau.com/app/prof...CheckThe40kMetaDataDashboard/MetaDataOverview
Brad Salamanders pushing a 53% win rate, IH got 59% LFGGGGG

What’s not in that stack is Bray’Arth, the Levithan and Contemptor, that new box set with the Brutalist, the Impulsor, attack bike, one of the tech marines, the chaplain, Captain w/ heavy bolt, and all of the spell crow bits and upgrades.

The guys I’m going to play with are going to assemble a 500 point army out of what I have to paint first so I can start playing.

The Centurions in the pic are the wrong ones. I’ll be taking back Saturday to exchange.

Better get a Stormbird, or Mastodon to transport all that shit lol

I didn’t even know a mastodon was a thing. Now that I do…

I would totally get one of it carried Primaris. What a shame.

#YUPPPP - transporting SM Primarias, Gravis, etc is a pain in my mechanical Iron Hand nuts.
Droppods are the way to go for IH but overall this sucks, and SMs are not alone.
Even being able to 10" and then unload doesn't seem right for some Titanic shit like a Mastodon.

I purport that the current state of balance across 40k, this alleged 6-book 10th edition, and rumors of terrain being large focused for/element to 10th facilitates that Transportation rules are also to be significantly changed.

As soon as transport for Primaris units changes I'mma be rocking that Storm Eagle Assault Gunship playing ride of the Valkyrie & whatnot.

Do the Salamanders get a bonus from the volcano cannons on the

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Legion-Falchion-Super-Heavy-Tank-Destroyer

I know it’s not fire directly, but it pretty much melts anything it hits.

And I blame you for showing me there are much larger tanks and vehicles.

I don’t think so.

However typically in 40K since I started watching/playing in the 90’s you can never go wrong with meltas and fire

iamacynic37 · Feb 25, 2023

Agreed, with Regime.
Melta & Flamers are never bad to field but generally, the ForgeWorld Resin stuff doesn't get the same bonuses as the mainline GW shit.
And it's more expensive, harder to work with.

Also, to note: allegedly these SM Factional bonuses / Codexes are being VERY streamlined and simplified for 10th. Perhaps even going away.
Falchion is hella tite tho - I'm still tryna find an ignores cover artillery/tank to blast Raven Guard to the Warp

Cool I am a fan of the streamlined rules which they need to be. Far too much shit going on in 9th to worry about all these bullshit changes. They better fluff the codexes back up to 8th edition standards. I am reading Drukari 8th. Just amazing.

iamacynic37 · Feb 25, 2023

Agreed, Iron hands deserve their Smash Captain CHAD-Era level dominance.

Allegedly, this is all part of the plan from 8th-10th with More-Regular released of editions on a 4 year cycle. Sounds like the community, as always, is fucking freaking. I just need some better transport rules for Iron Hands lol

So…. Went to a local game shop mini tourney. If you bought $100 of merch, you got put into a raffle. So, I bought:

Razorback and paints for about $160, but I won the raffle:

(also got a couple of free snap together Primaris to practice paint on first).

Someone also helped me get my first 500 point team.

Primaris Captain
10 tactical squad
10 assault squad
5 scouts with sniper rifles

I just got back, 14 hours later. I had a lot of fun. Definitely worth the trip.

Not sure how you are doing rules for your first game, but if there is no limit on number of units it would probably be better to split those troop squads into 2, especially if you want to take take 2 flamers with the tactical marines.

So, the guy that was helping me said the exact same thing, but BattleScribe wasn’t allowing us to split. I don’t remember the load out of each of the team. He’s supposed to send it to me later today. I’ll post when he does.

He also did some Best Case Scenario mock battles with some of my pieces. One of them that kind of made me sad was my Kratos tank decked out how I wanted against a Luman Russ (or something like that. It was my 320 point tank against a 150 point tank) and we both crippled each other without destroying. I’m sure the dice rolls had a lot to do with it, but in theory it was kind of sad not to get the results I thought I would for over double the points spent.

I was also quite surprised by the amount of women that attended that also participated and a police officer that also played.

So, it still won't let you split the tactical squad to two 5 mans?

and if you're feeling lazy/rushed on the painting, you could drop either 5 assault or 5 tacticals for a character - like a librarian or apothecary.
