How To Build A Warhammer 40K Army Part II

[TwistedTrident]

If i want a shooting fexible army of normal SM how would i my razerback be most effective I was thinking of having my pred engage their better units like a landraider, and have my razerback well the tanks exchange blows come up with a Meta sqaud and its x2 lascannons( I would like to run a heavy tac and razerback army cause itsa shooting army yet mobile and fexible with maybe a assualt Dred (ironclad) in a drop-pod to come down in there inf ranks. Currently I have 1 razer and 2 tacs plzreply thx

[Novasky2007]

I was one of those guys in a basement with a zx spectrum and a copy of rogue trader XD

[colboy1fish]

Funny thing about deamons very little tactics involve playing them, basic stragegy deepstrike in cover and run up your enemie to tear them apart, you don't have to give a shit.

[supermaksas]

yeah,i cant decide,imperial guard or space marines,if you say none will work,then tell between tau,tyranids and orks.

[supermaksas]

im starting a space marine army,im going to go with the so called vanilla.what do you think,if im gonna face masses of eldar rangers,should i counter attack with scout snipers in cover where the enemy would have so little sight of the scouts,or with more sight of the scouts,but with excelent sight of the enemys forces,which one,i thgink the first one would be good,but what if theres rare cover that could see them,without having to see my troops(ps,im gonna try heavy bolters in cover).

[nithia]

I play Tyranids and yes I have awesome CC ability and my only problem in CC is usually power weapons due to lack of Inv saves. My two biggest problems are 1 everyone at the GW I play at is either IG, SM, or CSM and they all like to take lots of armor and as Nids there is not a lot i can do vs armor without charging a tank and my second problem is i just have to be WYSIWYG and i did not magnetize my army so im always pulling stuff apart or settling for how its built.

[nithia]

@nithia Im starting to run out of ideas. I have had many games where its been close but because it took half the game to get the enemy out of their tanks i had been widdled down and by the time i get into CC im too weak to handle it. I think the only thing i have not tried is to just sit in and behind cover and force them to come to me, but that only really works in an annihilation game or some seize ground (depending on placement). I will have to give it a try the next time i can get a game in.

[Skillzdispair]

If i make a tau army what shud i buy

[amodestde5tiny]

For a thirteen year old life the money is hard but ur stratagys help even for my budget so nice vids man

[TheAmericanCanadian]

im thinking about tau.

this is expensive, but it looks like its worth it.

[cr1ticalvoid]

i was thinking of starting up again with warhammer 40k make a tyranids army but im not looking forward to painting don't want to screw up

[vidowboo]

I have only just started and I only have 6 fire dragons and 1 eldar jetbike. the jetbike is not a squad because I need 3. Would the jetbike be allowed in a game and would it still count as a unit?

[19Marvin96]

is their any way of buying ordinary scarabs without buying a warrior squad?

[thisisnotafake]

online at the GW website

[encon101]

@19Marvin96 yeah but they are metal

[19Marvin96]

i also got a tau army

[19Marvin96]

I have a small necron army ( warrior squd & lord with res orb) but i have been collecting on many armies. (tyranids, space marines, chaos space marines, chaos deamons, lizardmen, skaven & hordes of chaos) thought i only have small hordes of each. anyways, how many points is that eldar army?

[MushyLad]

kool thnx alot fritz its really help quite a bit :D

[thaSHUFFLEpro]

thanks l picked my army neckrons

[mgod58]

OMG fritz. I apologize for earlier statements. I had no idea you have been playing since rogue trader. I too have been playing since then.  I really enjoyed the old games. Second edition was cool, but very unbalanced. The newer additions are more balanced, but don't quite have the flavor of the old. Anyway, my newest army is Imperial Fists, and I'm hoping GW makes us a codex at some point. The other chapters codex's give them advantages over our regular codex.

[thisisnotafake]

would be fair if GW to make another marine codex until  the fix all the other out stand codex's and issues

[simon1111777]

eldar ar hard to do why chose them i do blood angels they kick elders arse unless the person is amazing

[zoglin]

Thanks for the encouragement. I played Tau as my first army back in 2004. I got my ass handed to me every game. I just could not get away from assaults and tended to leave my units unsupported. I learned a bit, but stopped playing because I wasn't having much fun. Now, I hope to find some players who I will enjoy playing against. Working on Space Marines as my second army. Still need to learn a lot. Thanks for the videos!

[nab789456123]

Nice vid man. Sll your vids are great so keep them coming! :D

[lordoftroy]

Thanks

[dicedestroy]

i want to make a 40k army but none of my friends do and i dont have a games workshop in my city

[1cathar]

gaming clubs usually have more gamers than gw for example, in my city theirs centry box, that store has tons of guys playing games. so go online and look for some place like that

[dicedestroy]

hey man thanks ill do that

[Toxicrafa]

@dicedestroy clone yourself

[dicedestroy]

@Toxicrafa no thanks.....

[Gibbons3457]

Great advise about the 'how to take a loss' the problem is the majority of people attribute loss with failure and that is bad.

[lordoftroy]

anyone got any ideas for what i should add to my tau army?

[citricsystemz]

broadsides or hammerheads, buy the crisis suit box if you can afford it mbey some kroot if you like them

[ChanginDraken69]

Eldars Ruule!!

[dk12553]

hey fritz,

my army is 30 terminators,a camander as hq and 2 space marine combat squads as troop choices do you think this is a good list for kill points and possbly objectives i have the moddles just asking how i should go about useing them

[altairfreak21]

that is a LOT of Termies!!!

[wreynolds1995]

Terrible for Objectives, but Annihilation your army would be very, very, VERY, tough.

[dk12553]

wouldnt termys be good for contisting objectives

[dk12553]

i was necrons but i swiched to imperial fist(space marines)

i would take 20 more warriors so you have a total of 50,2 more scarbs, and 5 more destroys to bring your total to 8 then you'll have a very good necron conpetive list its what i used you should to

[left4thepro]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay theres a gamesworkshop opening where i live!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! awsome vid by the way !! ive got loads of ideas now!! thnx

[starbomber]

Man your old xD

(either that or you had a commodore64 when you were seven :P)

Cool tips though, I'll take em to heart when I try to build Kult of Speed

[AZnotCali88]

i hate my town we have a small club and i cant wait till i go to pheonix for college

[alexgoto123]

thx i used that tatic and i amlmost one thx so much fritz

[alexgoto123]

he fritz i got a necron phalanx and my dinner tabel is 28 inches wide and 48 inches in length i have 48 troops 6 destroyers 12 scrabs and necron lord and a monolth that covers half of the tabel and i always get destroyed by my brothers prisim cannon what can i do deep strike him fom behind him or aniahlate straight im only 11 so what do i do?

[WayOfSaimHann]

Use your destroyers since they have range to shoot the fire prism. Forget trying to destroy it, just stun it each turn so it can't shoot. Keep your destroyers in two groups of three together so they get WBB rolls if a single unit goes down. Keep all your warriors together shooting and then turn 5/6 move out with the scarabs to contest an objective, veil of darkness with lord and a warrior group to contest a third, and then use the remaining destroyers to cotnest another.

[SmurfyBoy9777]

@alexgoto123 use your lord and give him veil of darkness the teleport behind the tank rapid fire it then if your lord has a warsythe assult it and then there is one less tank.

[mordihim]

forgot 3 defkoptas with rocket launchas

[mordihim]

what do you guys think for a 100 point ork army

60 boys both with nob with bosspoleand power claw

warboss with a boy squad

5 lootas

3 kannons

looted tank with boomgun and 5 storm boys

[mackleydu]

100 point? lol i think you mean 1000 points, umm i am by no means an Ork expert but it looks to me like you have to many infantry (if thats possible with orks) and not enough anti tank, an IG army heavily focused on tanks would destroy you.

[xXJetwiiXx]

Ok, so i am starting an eldar army and i need some help. What should i start with? I only have a hundred and fifteen dollars, but i also already have a box of Dire avengers. What should i get? (other than the codex) and what should i give em? I am using the Iyanden colour scheme, if it helps. Plz reply soon if u can Fritz. If not, its ok, but it would help if i had an expert help me start off.

[jubjub92]

Since fritz isnt answering, I would get a battleforce and farseer. The battleforce gives you the best bang for your buck and you nee an HQ for your army.

[xXJetwiiXx]

Thanks man.

[33LOBO33]

GOOOOO AMIGA!!!!!

[figcadian111]

wats a commodore 64? I know its a computer but what is it?

[lolkek25]

<33333333333

[mt51784]

winning who likes winning not i lol

[Locbot]

wish i knew this stuff when i started

[Da40kOrks]

I can't say I fully agree with you here. When first starting 40k I think its far more important just to get some models on the table and see what happens. Trying to plan an army from the start is going to be almost impossible to do. Even if you have stuff you won't always use later playing with proxies kinda defeats the purpose of the hobby IMO.

The ideas you were talking about (deployment, etc) comes from experience alone and trying to figure it out from day one would be frustrating.

[300spartanmoms]

Good Perspective.

[mt51784]

well im curious if you can help me by suggestions I made my own vulkan he'stan and im curious if you 1 think its worth of tabletop and 2 if you would play him in a army check my vid and let me know

[300spartanmoms]

if your an in your face type of player. He'stan lets thunder hammers, meltas, multi-melta's, heavy flamers and flamers become master-crafted. All these weapons are really only effective at or mostly within 12". Not much. You'll have to be aggressive with your army in order to utilize these bonuses well. So if your up to a mob rush or drop pod assault then your good but otherwise dont field him. He'stan is alright by himself, heavy flamer master crafted relic blade, but i suggest Shrike, Fleet!

[cjpendleton1993]

I don't understand the end, how can everyone be dominatiing,how can it be so easy? who would lose??

[300spartanmoms]

this is a little off topic but whatever. Army Lists You'll see posted on the web and sources are great for that player Right? Well for that player is the problem. There are people I've seen taking these lists off the web and thinking they'll dominate with them. The list is good for the original player because it matched his playing style and everyone has a different one. The People i saw using these lists got crushed because it wasn't their playing style. Your own list works better, it fits you.

[ajtame]

You really need to play JB with that army now and show us the battle rep :)

[fwogyman]

thanks, can the shadowseer carry a harlequins kiss?

[fwogyman]

hey fritz in your harlequin army how many harlequins have harlequins kiss per unit and is that ulthwe or a made up craftworld?

[WayOfSaimHann]

9 kisses per unit since the death jester can't have one with no troupe master, 8 kisses if I am running the TM. Although I have Eldrad in the army it really isn't any one craft world per se.

[heller205]

I making a very similar type of army but it will be with Howling Baanshes. what would be somthing I could do to get a good strategy?

[WayOfSaimHann]

Banshee's will need to be in transports to have a go at it since they don't have veil of tears to protect them from shooting out in the open.

[twomz]

"The internet didn't even exist"

HERETIC! PSYKER WITCH FILTH!

[Beefdipings]

aaa....says part 1 O.o

[WayOfSaimHann]

Fixed, thanks!

[LordReaper13]

[JXLpixel2]
