Attach a priest with eviscerator to that setup and you'll rip apart anything in assault.

>vox castor

The names Castor. Vocks Castor. Agent of the Throne.

>>6948496
>Vocks Castor

Fearless

also if i bought krak grenades for one of the squads and combined squaded them, would the entire unit get them?

A tall, impressive looking man entered the hall, flanked by two of the Governors Praetorian Guard, his dark hair parted to the right side. His eye's were brown, his face and smile warm. Within those eyes, however, was the iron resolve of a machine gunner. His movements were smooth, belying the strength contained within his frame.

"So, at last we meet, Mr. Castor." He chuckled and grinned, his forked tongue flitting out and licking his lips. "Or should I say, Vocks Castor, Agent of the Throne."

Who is this one Vocks Castor

>>6948496
>Vocks Castor
Damnit, this is why I love /tg/.

>>6948657

He's the greatest of all Agents of the Throne. He's in his Emperors Most Holy Secret Service.

You want an assassin? Fuck the Officio Assassinorum, send Vocks Castor.

You need to find a Chaos artifact and the sinister men of C.U.L.T. that have been sent to use it? Fuck the Inquisition, send Vocks Castor.

You need to pump the daughter of a corrupt Imperial Governor for information? Fuck torture, send Vocks Castor.

He saves the Imperium day after day, and looks dapper doing it.

This will be drawfagged.

Alright OP here, with the 230 from before with a priest with an eviscerator and a shotgun (lol might as well get the two shots in when i assault since i can't claim 2 hand weapons with the pistol with the eviscerator) it bumps it up to a total of 290, which is damn pricy for a single unit.

but god damn it could take on plenty of things in close combat easily as long as whatever its facing isn't a swarm of nids...

Also i was thinking of doing a tallarn army... so the priest is an amazing idea, now i can shout about waging a jihad on the infidels.

>>6948611

The fork tongued governor motioned to the hunchbacked man standing at a lectern, on which was a box filled with various wicked looking metal instruments. "You haven't met Orgath, but I'm sure you two will become very well...acquainted."

Vocks reached up, the Praetorian Guards on both sides of him tensed immediately. "Only adjusting gentlemen. No need for that in front of the Governor." He said as he showed his palms in a motion of supplication, his voice smooth as amasec. "So, do you expect me to talk?" He said, adjusting his black tie.

"Why no Agent Castor!" The Governor hissed, "I expect you to die! Screaming, preferably." He pointed to a surgical bed that had risen from the center of the room "Tie him down!"

>>6948699
Im dying of laughter. So what does this Vrocks Castor look like /tg/?

>>6948779
First off, it has been established that he has dark hair, which he parts to the right. Secondly, he has brown eyes that hold an air of elegance and brutality.

From there, let's see. Only thing I would contribute thus far would be a wrist mounted vox with a built in mini-flamer.

>>6948753
also OP here, i now have a new idea...

alternatively i can give this squad to al'rahem and have him do his like the wind move to get the squad to shoot then run instead of a normal run... sure its just 27 lasgun shots... but.... well theres no real down side since i was only going to run them anyways, and that way i could load al'rahems squad with special weapons and have him run in beside the squad and assault as well if he can (since he also has his power weapon, his power weapon that causes instant death... )

and with lets say two missile heavy weapons groups

and with a rough rider squad...

oh yes...

This will be my lawrence of arabia themed tallarn.

Their fluff will have them be from a generic desert world where after a while a corrupt governor decided to sieze power and rebel... in order the quell the rebellion, who did the imperium send? none other than Vocks Castor, who led the loyalist uprising in a campaign of guerrilla warfare.

>>6948774

He went with no struggle, and his hands were clamped down in short order. "I'm afraid I can't stay and enjoy the show. Important business, you understand, throwing off the yoke and all that."

Vocks Castor just sighed, "You know you'll never get away with it. Even if you kill me, the Guard or the Inquisition will come for you." Chuckling, the governor waved dismissively "Well, I certainly come better prepared than YOU! Orgath! You may begin, and take your time, we want to show Mr. Castor our utmost hospitality."

"Ever so kind of you, Lord Governor." Vocks said derisively as the fork tongued governor walked away, one of his Praetorian Guard following him. The other came to sit in a chair beside the surgical table, grinning. "Ize gunna injoy dis." He said, drool falling from his maw as he made a gurgling laugh.

This thread is hereby about Vocks Castor, greatest hero that the Imperium has ever known.

I want a Vocks Castor novel now.

40k needs more lulzy character like Cain.

>>6948878
Greatest Agent the imperium has ever known.

>commisar with a power sword and close combat weapon and three sergeants with power swords and close combat weapons.
Uh... power weapons are one-handed. Why not keep the pistols?

>In total it comes to 230 points for one unit that is stubborn and which has 16 power weapon attacks on the charge (pretty much all hitting on 4s) and 12 power weapon attacks normally. its a dedicated close combat unit. the vox castor will ensure that the unit can be given an order to move move move towards the nearest target or run into cover or surround a unit, and allow the unit to regroup if falling back.

Dude, 16 power weapon attacks aren't enough bang for 230 pts. Good melee units like Zerks or Scorps will plow through like 2/3 the squad before you land a single hit, and S3 vs MEQs isn't good odds. Banshees have S3 power weapons but the reason they can carve up MEQs is because they have MASSED power weapons and strike first. 3 PW Sarges and a PW Commissar hidden among 31 bodies? Yeah, bolt pistols out we're going in anyways.

You come from a Tau background, so I understand somewhat but frankly 3 WS3 S3 power weapons aren't scary to anyone.

>>6948883
sadly lulzy is not GRIMDARK

>>6948895
I heard that he stopped a man known as Adept No.

>>6948878

ummm...

>>6948865
Have him count as Sly Marbo, or some kind of assassin of course

>>6948878
You rang?

>>6948865
ALLAH AKBAR

>>6948905
Pfft, you ever hear of the time he killed that Chaos Space Marine who threw his helmet as a weapon? I think his name was Strange Mission, or something.

>>6948925
Cain! Cain! Cain! Cain!

Orgath closed in on him, holding what appeared to be a minature two pronged pitchfork, which when he flicked the switch at the base of the handle, began to glow red hot. "Iz zehr anyzing you vould like to zay befoar vee begin?" Orgath said, butchering his low gothic.

"Just one." Said Vocks, a polite smile on his face. "You do know I'm going to kill the both of you? Don't you?" Orgath grunted out a chortle and with a look of bemused puzzlement on his mangled face, replied "Oh jess? Unt haw vill you do diz viss no handts?" To which even the guard began laughing. "Yes, well" began Vocks, "You really should invest in better restraints." He said politely, revealing his right hand.

/r/ official artwork of Jurgen.

>>6948948
I did. They were robbing the Paymaster's quarters at the time, weren't they?

Though there was another man like that...some Orkish bodyguard he took down. I think they called that one Gobs.

>>6948899
yeah but it's hilarious, also get them in some cover and watch as they strike first (except against frag grenades). Sure its not something you want to pin your hopes on, but its a tar pit that will do its damn best to stick in combat through sheer weight in numbers. whittling down any high armor targets they're engaged with.

you're probably right though. i just really liked the idea and i want to try it at least once.

He done gone and divided by zero.

Oh come on. We need more tales of Vocks Castor.

>>6948961
Once the one-wound, 45 pt Commissar is unlucky enough to fail his 5+ save (trust me, after the first turn a unit like Assault Marines or Zerks will put enough wounds on the squad to force a couple to be allocated on the power weapons) it's all over. Without stubborn they will lose combat for sure, take huge morale penalties, break, and get swept by anything with I4 or higher.

And also, man, you can't hide a unit that size in cover. Well you could try, but a single squad with 2 flamers would clear out like half of them.

He thumbed the activator on his digi-unit, activating the powerful magnetic field generator therein. Before Orgath could even gasp, the agonizer prod was pulled from his meaty grip, and landed in Vocks Castors palm. He hissed as it seared his palm, but that didn't stop him from jamming it to the hilt into the flesh-smiths throat, who made a gargling scream as the inner lining of his throat was boiled away and he fell into a hacking, wretching heap.

The guard leaped to his feet, trying to grab the lasgun that he had propped by the side of the medi-slab, but Vocks was faster. Using the remaining restraint for momentum, he brought his leg around to sweep the guard's legs from beneath him. He continued on, carried by his momentum, until he smashed face first into the surgical slab.

"Terribly sorry lad, but I'm sure you understand." He said as he removed the other cuff from his wrist. He adjusted his tie once more and picked up the heavy Kantrel model lasgun. Stopping by the governors desk to retrieve his wrist vox, he made his way to the large door at the entrance of the hall.

From behind him, he heard a rustle. Ducking instinctively, a lasbolt seared over his head, he whirled around, firing a single bolt in reply, striking the recovered guard, though bleeding from the forehead, in the throat. The last images he ever saw were of Vocks Castor, standing, framed by the Imperial Aquila embossed on the iron doors, as blood washed into his eyes, and sight left him forever.

>>6949022
I know... they aren't dedicated anti-close combat specialist.

I was just wondering how cheaply i could get power weapons into a squad and how many i could get.

I just like the thought of a massed wave of basic guardsmen.

for most other dedicated cc/heavy armor targets i would use my 7 man rough rider squad.

i dunno i'm just throwing out ideas here.

>Vocks Castor, standing, framed by the Imperial Aquila embossed on the iron doors

So this should be drawfagged. I'm thinking in the Casino Royale Gun resting on his forearm, hand on the grip, barrel toward the sky, pose. T'would be most bad of ass.

Alright. So we now have more kit to give to Castor.

Digi-unit. I'm going to guess that it's located somewhere on his hand (ring?) or possibly in a cufflink.

Also, let's go with the essentials for Bon....um...This sort of character.

Let's see what Techpriest Q has on the table.

Smokes. While most of the package is filled with ordinary tubes, the first in the package is actually a two part explosive. The tube is a moldable shaped charge, while the filter is the detonator. Make sure you don't light this one or the tube won't be the only thing that's smoking.

Power-Shoe. Whether cutting through a bulkhead or making sure the door isn't closed on you, this power shoe should come in quite handy. Be sure not to step on the toes of any lovely ladies.

>>6949113
Guard Power weapons are pretty much always crap.

If you really want power weapons go for things like Sternguard, Terminators, Banshees, or Incubi. Guard? No matter how many you get they're WS3 S3 I3 and chances are they'll still be sporting that 5+ save.

>>6949144
Listen to this man. For what is probably a much smaller price, you can have piles of meltaguns appear on your foe's doorstep mounted up in a Chimera.

drawfags get in here!

>>6949122

I'm sure you mean Magos Quintus, lovingly referred to by Vocks as "Q", and his team of dedicated Tech Priests, which is known as "Q-branch".

>>6949150
still at bs 3... I just wanted to play guard. and i wanted a more unique themed army.

>>6949176
Indeed, you've got a point.

And he takes his orders from Quartermaster Mestis, who constantly takes her time to backhandedly comment and mother Vocks.

This has huge potential, guys.

>>6949113

Creed and Rough Riders will do this better.

S6 I6 power weapons.

is there a campaign of games where i can put my man meat in another man's fucking butt hole? i want to suck some fucking weiners ok

>>6949205

And Adept Thronepence, who knows full well that the only thing Vocks Castor does more than save the Imperium, is chase skirts, but can't help but enjoy their how shall we say... tongue in cheek... flirting, and perhaps one day hopes for more?

>>6949239
furious charge doesn't stack with hunting lances, unfortunately.

>>6949257

i would like a man to bone me

>>6949257
I'll admit it, I lol'd

So, are we going to go with the fact that he wears a suit, or are we going to modify it to fit the GRIMDARK that is necessary?

>>6949276

I think he has to wear a suit. Everything else remains as grim and dark as the readers can stand, but the suit stays. It's made of.... Thracian Silk. The finest available. Immaculately tailored too.

>>6949293
it has to be suitably flashy though.. a normal suit wouldn't make any drawfaggotry look anything special...

>>6949276
His suit is a subtle form of power armor, a-la C. Viper.

Except, you know... a guy.

If you want to do melee guard, use penal troops.

They're the melee troop choice for guard.

I need to put some penises in my butt

>>6949314

There is an image of Rogal Dorn, with a silenced bolt pistol, and power fist, wearing a suit. That is the image that is in my head when I envision Vocks Castor.

>>6949314

Here's another one that I'm sure you'll find useful, VII. Though, I would appreciate to get it back when you are done. The machine spirit inside is quite delicate and needs a bit more nourishing.

This is a combination climbing hook and rocket combined in a stylish belt. Point the buckle toward the ledge or surface that you wish to climb, and then press the tabs on both sides. The head will launch and the machine spirit within will adhere the buckle to whatever it hits. The microfilament cable within is capable of holding up to half a ton, so be sure to not have -too- many women on your back when you try to use it.

Good morning. I am a dedicated Guard player who regularly fields everything from 200 men to Armoured Company and I would like to share with you my experience.

Redundancy - Any unit, no matter how big, is useless if there's only one of it. A combined squad can be pinned, ordnanced or just deployed on the other side of the table from. Any time you go to take one of something you must take two instead.

Quantity not Quality - Guard are not specialists. The most kitted out guard will still die pretty easily. Anytime you go to take some extra equipment for a unit think about whether you could do the same by simply taking another unit instead. For somethings like meltaguns this won't apply but in close combat you can do better than power weapons by simply having another ten men stuck in.

Never expect to win CC - Your men are terrible. They will wound on 5s at best, they will strike after your opponent, they will break and flee off objectives, they will hold and keep an enemy unit locked so you cannot shoot at them in your turn. Even against Tau they will fail simply because the Tau have 4+ armour. You do not win close combat with Guard. If you're playing right, you don't have to.

>>6949473
For some time now I want to try IG, but I find the leman russ chassis quite hideous (I'm not into WWI things, sadly for me).
What kind of army (1000-ish for a start) can be playable without LR and LR-based tanks (no valkyrie either, too difficult to transport) ?


Also, Cain is so badass even dead and buried, he is still just L.I.A. in the records...

>>6949691

You could use other vehicles and adopt the counts-as rule, if your only problem is with the look.

>>6948961
>get them in some cover and watch as they strike first (except against frag grenades)

To worry the bone some more:
funny story, basically everything comes standard with frag grenades - that has a newer codex than necrons.

Bumping this thread back to life because I'd like it to get some attention. The Vocks Castor part anyway.

Vocks Castor, Agent of the Imperium...
/tg/, sometimes I come here and see endless fail. And then something like this happens, and it restores my faith in you all.
God bless you, every one....

Goddamnit where has my graphics tablet gone.
The one time I find I really need to draw something other than project work.

>>6949691
You could easily do some kind of mech company without resorting to heavy tanks. A type of flying column of fast cavalry units. Essentially have everything mounted in chimeras and bring some fast vehicles(Hellhounds and variants)

I've only tried it once or twice but it was quite fun. Success rate will be only reasonable, heavy armour such as Russes can absorb significant amounts of fire while putting out the hurt.

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only GREY.
It also came out more weeaboo than I wanted, but ohwell.

Right on, then. More for Vocks Castor.

Now, should be be a part of the Inquisition, the Ministorum, or is Branch XVI its own organization?

>>6951431
Hm...not bad. Not bad. I agree on the "too weeaboo" part, but it's a good start.

>>6949691
The Russ is based off a WW2 tank, albeit, a French one.

>>6951578
Le heresy!

>>6951459

Ill probably give it another go, hopefully with less weeaboo this time.

Im thinking 'Quantum of Chaos'.
Maybe 'Terra is Not Enough'.

>>6951734
Well, other stuff includes Magos No, The Man with the Golden Stubber, From Vostroya With Love, and On The Emperor's Secret Service. More to come later.

>>6951778

'The Spy Whe Purged Me'

>>6951797
...who.

>>6951734
well, if you are, maybe add some holy glow or something around the Aquila.

Also, we have the Chaos Cultist known as "Strange Mission." He throws his helmet.

The other is a trained Ork bodyguard known as "Gobs." Huge guy, really.

Vocks Castor stepped into the gloomy darkness of his grimly decorated room. As part of the cover story, he was renting pilgrim accommodations, not at all like the lavish upperhive hotels and gambling houses he was used to. Slowly, silently, he unholstered his gun. The signs were obvious... Someone had been in the room! He inspected the surroundings. The dim bedroom light was switched on.

Vocks kicked open the bedroom door and advanced on the threat, pistol drawn... Only to pause and sigh loudly at the sight of a familiar figure. Sprawled on the bed was the figure of Farseer Veldrana Sul'trylips, an infamous Eldar corsair and warrior queen, in a state of semi-undress. She was holding a glass of what looked like expensive sparkling amasec in her hand. Castor shook his head and felt himself relax; ever since that business back on Scintilla Veldrana owed him a debt of gratitude.

"What took you so long, Mr. Castor? I've been very lonely and bored, waiting for you like this," Veldrana whispered.

"Surely you must have foreseen that I would be delayed by that annoying death cult, my dear," Vocks offered, shrugging.

"Indeed. Just as I have foreseen how satisfying our lovemaking will be tonight, mon'keigh." She leaned towards him, and offered him another glass. He took it, and clinked it gently with hers. "The things I do for the God-Emperor," Vocks Castor inwardly sighed.

I love you, /tg/. This is going to be huge.

>>6951934
It's amazing what a simple typo can start, isn't it?

>>6951977
Absolutely.

Here's a goal to everyone reading this: Read the thread, get a description of Vocks Castor. Take it to your local drawfag. Have them go forth and drawfag their hearts out.

Spread the message of power that is Vocks Castor.

Drawfag from before, working on a 'Terra us Not Enough' now, working from the actual Bond poster so it should hopefully be less weeaboo this time.

Bumping for the afternoon crowd. If you think this is a regular list thread, think again! This thread is actually about VOCKS CASTOR, AGENT OF THE THRONE!

Vocks Castor purged me!

Any progress on the "Terra is not Enough" drawfagotry?

Personally I'm a huge fan of combined squads.

3 of em, meltaguns and power swords for PUNCH (but not needed)

Stubborn 9 with rerolls is brilliant, and saved my ass one game when I fought demons and fought "Awesome, won't need to take much anti-tank!" and forgot about soul grinders.

As my Autocannons bounced harmlessly, I simply tarpitted both his soul grinders with a 30 strong commissar unit and got them stuck for the whole game.

Hello, I too am a guard player. Here is my recommendation for guard users. Commisars suck.
Astropaths and Master of the fleet is good.
Named characters are bad.\
Veterans can use three special weapons, rely on that, because lasguns cant do shit.
Chimeras have 5 fire points.
Vendettas and Valkyries are the best vehicles in the game.
Power weapons are sub par to Plasma pistols.
Footslogging is bad 90% of the time, chimeras are godly, harder to kill than rhinos, with good guns.
Also, never forget sly marbo.

And heavy support is for the collossus.

>Named characters are bad.\

>Also, never forget sly marbo.

SLY MARBO IS MY NAME, BITCH!
