How many lictors can a tyranid army have in Warhammer 40000?
In the codex look on Lictors and look at brood and it will say. But I'll tell ya anyway ;D You can have 3 Lictors as one elite and although they are one squad they can separate as an independent unit
How many points is a Space Marine Commander worth?
A Space Marine commander with no upgrades is worth 100pts.
If you have any other questions on the points of units you can download the ArmyBuilder demo to tell you the points of every unit with and without upgrades
What is the difference between square based and circle based warhammer 40k figures?
Answer
Square based figures were designed for the Warhammer (Old World) game, easier to form rows and columns of troops. Round bases for 40K, units don't move or fight the same way.
You might see square bases in a 40K game on some of the (lesser) daemons as the models are the same between games.
Weapon skill is compared while in close combat to decide if you hit the opponet. The number you need to roll for each attack is determined by taking your WS stat against the majority WS of the enemy squad.
There is a table at the end of the Warhammer 40,000 rule book but how I remember is: If you are better by any amount, you need a 3+. If your opponent is more then double your WS, you need a 5+. Otherwise, you need a 4+.
How can you get a tyranid swarmlord?
Like most new tyranids there is no official model but you can make one: Buy and make a normal hive tyrant without the arms. Then (off eBay from other players or however you can get your hands on them) get four boneswords and use those for arms, find yourself a second hive tyrant tail and cut it so you can glue it halfway down the original tail then get yourself a spike (the hive tyrant comes with one) and glue it behind the first on the head.
How many points is a space marine rhino?
Answer
Without all the weapons it is 50 points. See the codex for all the weapons points.
How many points are ork battlewagon?
They start out at 90 points. They do not come with weapons and you would need to find those points to run them.
How far does the Baal Predator move?
Normally, 12" like a normal tank, but it can use the following ability, "Overcharged Engines":
The Baal Predator and Blood Angels Rhinos are fitted with specially modified engines. These over-charged engines allow the vehicle to attempt to go faster but at the risk of stalling the engines. You may declare that an eligible vehicle is going to use its overcharged engines in any Movement Phase just before you move it.
Roll a D6. On the roll of 1, the engine stalls, and the vehicle may not move at all this turn. On the roll of 2-3, the boosters fail to kick in, and the vehicle moves
normally. On the roll of 4-6, the boosters work, and the vehicle can move as if it were a fast vehicle this turn; however, the maximum distance it can move is limited to 18".
Is there a limit to the number of troops in a space marine army?
The only imposed limit is that of the maximum points value of the game you're playing. So long as the combined points value doesn't exceed the stated max, you can have as many actual troops as you want.
If you want to be ultra strict though, you could never have more than 1000 troops, for codex marine legions.
Can ork boyz be equipped with stikk bombs?
Can a thunderfire cannon be converted to a chaos army?
As far as the history of Warhammer 40k goes, probably not. Whilst the Imperium is creating new technology by the minute, Chaos and traitor legions have to steal the tech that they use. Some equipment a chaos marine's army might use can predate the Heresy.
But as far as actual rules it's up to you and your opponent. Some house rules (rules for a specific place) state weather you can or not, but to my knowledge if you enter a games workshop Tournament you MUST use only what is in your codex.
What is better a Bolt gun or a Plasma gun in Warhammer 40k?
Hard to say they both have excellence in their own areas.
Bolter
has a rapid fire ability where it can fire twice if its target is within 12"
Also is far more effective against Imperial Guard for it acts as an instant wound for a Guardsman. So charge your squad into a close combat but use your Bolter with its rapid fire ability to mulch them down.
Plasma Rifle
The plasma rifle has a higher AP however if you roll a 1 for your shooting phase. its all over for your marine as it will overheat and explode in a purple and blue fireball. the plasma rifle is most effective against an enemy like chaos space marines as it will provide you with an instant wound against them.
Both the Bolter and Plasma Rifle are effective against different enemys and circumstances. so its difficult to decide a "better" weapon. its up to your tactics, enemy, and luck that you don't roll a one :)

How do you assault a vehicle in Warhammer 40k?
First you hit and then need to penetrate or glance the armor part you are shooting at by rolling a D6 (or more if the weapon states) adding the weapons strength and that roll up if it is the same as the side of armor you are shooting(attacking) it is a glance, if higher a penetrate and lower it does nothing.
6 makes the vehicle explode d6 from the edge of the vehicle.
5 simply destroys it
4 Immobilizes it (cannot move)
3 The vehicle loses a weapon
2 Cannot move or shoot
1 Cannot shoot
Glancing gives an automatic -2
an AP of 1 gives +1
Is there an ulterior motive to the Tau's Greater good?
The Tau's Greater Good, while presented as an altruistic philosophy aimed at uniting various species for mutual benefit, can be seen as having ulterior motives. Critics argue that it serves as a tool for the Tau Empire to expand its influence and control over other races, often through coercion or manipulation. This expansionist agenda raises questions about the true nature of the Greater Good, suggesting that it may prioritize Tau dominance over genuine cooperation. Ultimately, the concept can be interpreted as a veneer for imperialistic ambitions.
Are space wolves a good 40k begginers army?
Probably not, Codex Space Marines are probably a better choice. I would try to find a copy of each codex and read it before making a choice. You can definitely get some Space Wolves or even Blood Angels at a later date, but start with regular Marines.
