Guest Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Reading through Codex Skitarii this morning, I'm seeing my paint scheme is pretty much identical to Stygies VIII, and they've been accused of heresy at some vague point. I believe I have found the Forge World that feeds the Pinkerton Warmachine. This puts them in the Pacific region, conveniently, as well. Don't you hate it when you find that GW is copying you? I find this a lot, which is, more or less, why I stopped doing custom chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Fall of Cadia is providing me with exactly what I need to set up the Pinkerton Planetary Defense Force and have some variety and fun with it. I hadn't considered any Battle Sisters or Assassins prior. Now, I am. Although, penitent engines are the thing I'm most interested in from the sisters. Adding a Leman Russ squadron, or Sentinels. I'm excited about where this book lets me take a single formation now. And still have room for my Conclave. I'm considering stripping my Night Lords and folding them into the ranks of the PDF, but unsure. Mostly because of the inconsistencies in armor it will create as the Pinkerton Marines are currently mk2 and mk3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Taking inventory, I can run all of my Imperial stuff in two detachments, MegaSuperFunImperiumSuperGroup and a Librarius Conclave. It also puts me at 3k points and 52 or 53 models. 5 Libby Conclave Libby Libby Chappy 5 Scions 8 Marines 8 Marines 8 Marines Storm Talon w/skyhammer 6 LC CataTermies Contemptor Dread w/KAC 5 Sternguard Knight Crusader w/battlecannon Knight Acheron Knight Castigator Time to trim some fat, I guess. That is, make a FW friendly list and a GW only list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Reinforcements have arrived in the form of Burning of Prospero. Picked it up on my lunch break. We will see how motivated I am this weekend. Ahriman is an obvious addition to my Librarius. Not sure if I'm going to shave down any iconography yet. Geigor, I haven't decided what to do with, yet. He is completely out of place with the aesthetic of my Pinkertons. Perhaps he will be given to Khorne and become a Night Lord. I think I should be good on Marines for a while. Imperial Knights and Storm Troopers need fleshed out a bit, the Troopers, especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Erhmigerd! I didn't realize the mk3 thunder hammers were such magnificent Hammer hammers! Ehehehehe. Excited. Closer look at fellhand still leaves me not conscripting him to the Pinkertons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is on foot. No upgrades on the Marines or Sternguard. Libbys will be taking mostly Summoning, and Machine Repair. How do people feel about this list?

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Household Detachment 1980 385 Castigator 415 Acheron 430 Crusader w BC 750 Warhound Can I make the Warhound my Warlord? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm not sure how you're fitting the Warhound in- I don't believe it can be taken as part of an Imperial Knights detachment, as it does not have the Imperial Knights faction. I could be wrong on that, though, I don't know if they've updated the Warhound's rules at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 The rules for using the Mars Warlord Battle Titan can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Five - Tempest and may be used in both games set during the Horus Heresy and in standard games of Warhammer 40,000, in which case the Mars Warlord Battle Titan is a Lords of War choice for Armies of the Imperium and Chaos Space Marines. How does a battle forged army take this? It tells me it takes up a LOW slot in any AotI or CSM detachment, amending what is available to that Army. How am I wrong in this?

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 A gladius can't take it, as it doesn't have any LoW slots. A CAD or a Castellans can take it as they have 1 and 3 LoW slots respectively. The Household Detachment and CAD and Gladius all say must have same faction. Castellans is an AotI list, and gains access to the Titans accordingly. Same with Knight Household. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Castellans has a set LOW list so can't take others unless their rules say that itvvan be taken in any detachment in the place of a knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yeah. It's really not that complicated- if it's on the Castellans list, you can take it. If it isn't on the list, you can't take it. The Castellans detachment is different from a Combined Arms or Allied detachment where you can take any unit that has the appropriate Battlefield Role- you can only take the units on its list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I understand where you guys/itc are coming from in your interpretation, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it is the appropriate understanding of amending units available to a force. Clearly, I'm in the minority, as even Pax agrees with ya'll and paul. In other news, I glued together 30 torsos before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 There's nothing really interpretive about it at all. You can't add a Warhound to a Castellans detachment any more than you can add it to a 10th Company Strike Force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 1k point tourney coming up. Single Detachment, no formation, no LOW, and some other restrictions. GW and ITC faq. 2 x 90 Lvl 2 Libby 4 x 112 8 Marines 1 x 185 Contempter with KAC 1 x 176 8 Sternguard Not a game winning list, is it?

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 No Formations, but detachments are allowed. 3x 90 Lvl 2 Libby 1x 70 Tempestus Scions 3x 112 8 Marines 1x 115 Storm Talon w Skyhammer 1x 185 ContemptorDread w KAC 24 pts for upgrades. Could drop the Storm Talon and add 3 Rhinos/Drop Pods. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I feel like bringing the Marines (Tacticals?) to 10mans would be a big benefit, since that lets you Combat Squad and get heavy/special. Rhinos are ideal for that sort of setup, generally speaking. I might go 2x10 with Flamer and either Multimelta or Lascannon, depending on your deployment preferences (Las sits in the back on an objective, MM, rides in the Rhino alongside the other combat squad.)

Heavy Weapons, I am limited to Missile Launchers until my next FW order. Dropping a Librarian to spend 95 points on ML/MG or Flamer is doable.

Would have been pretty middle of the road at the one at Terracrux yesterday. My Chaos Knight didn't particularly stand out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 No LOW at this one. Otherwise I'd have no qualms about bringing my Knights or the thirsters. It's softer stylized than standard itc tourney, but I don't want to handicap myself beyond TO restrictions, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thing about summoning is that you can choose during the game, if you think it would be broken, or not, to have such a model in your game. Even if you roll the power, you can always choose to not summon one. Though in terms of summons, I'd much rather face summoning khorne daemons, than one of the psyker summoning armies - at least khorne daemons aren't able to further summon more creatures.
