What's Your Army?

[kluthe]

Recently I've been gleaning all I can about how 40k is played. I do not understand how the armor area of the game works. Please, explain. I'd like to start up a small army. Probably 16 Fire Warriors. Thats right.

For the Greater Good!

Fire warriors come in squads of 6-12, and u probably should get some kroot, and u are required to get a commander in an XV8 Crisis battlesuit

AP1 means it ignores any armour saves, but hasnt got an effect AFAIK against vehicle armour.

so, providing it hits, it will automatically wound and, at S10, instantly kill most infantry sized models, like space marines, since the weapons Strength is more than double the target's Toughness

I though the Tau were bought in groups of 16... The other day I saw something really cool. A guy that goes to 31st century every now and then brought in some converted tau fire warriors. He modeled them to look like martial artists and he uses the Kroot rules for them. He said something about getting the idea from the GW website. But I do need to finish my WHFB army before I start developing a 40k one. Its just, I'm tired of painting spearmen and archers.

Well, take a break from painting, and put together some tau instead!

That martial arts thing sounds pretty cool. I've seen an army made entirely of drones, they had made special drones to count as crisis suits, for instance, by arming the drones with the appropriate weaponry and having everything on the correct sized base

Errrrmm...

No.

First of all, AP1 only eliminates armour saves. The target may still use cover/invulnerable saves. Also, even at S10, if you roll a 1 on the to-wound you will fail...

actually, if you use the sub munitions,it will automatically hit any unit completely covered by the large blast marker, although it sacrifices some power.

Hit is one thing, Wound is another...

Was the drone army blue? Were the weapons magnatized for easy design? Were they made at Blue Table Painting?
