Bavius posted:Droppod wolves are awesome in 6th. You land where you need to be, the reserves are better, the mishaps are less punishing, you get a 6 inch move after you deep strike (please correct me immediately if wrong here), and you can do grey hunters for the entire deep strike force which are still great troops and work really well when you are imediately in range to rapid fire. Nice! I could possible do a drop a GH and BC squad down near each other have them got nuts in the shooting phase, and if there's anything left, the BC can charge in and mop up whats left. Well, drop + land raider for at least one BC squad. kannonfodder posted:I'd also forgotten about them for some time now, until I found one of the boxes they ship things in when looking for some sprues. I managed to find drop pods, under Warhammer 40k-> Space Marines -> Boxed Sets -> about halfway down the page (Ctrl+F for "Drop") Weird, as i did crtl+f with drop and it was just red. I'll check again later. I pretty much use my smurf drop pod to deliver my sternguard, though I keep thinking I may be wasting it in that capacity. I think I fell in love with doing that when in a tourny, they killed the emperors champion in one turn of shooting. I don't think I've used an Ethereal since the current Tau book. I'm going to be very disappointed if the new Tau book, when ever it comes out, doesn't have the Barracuda. I was thinking, when they do a new Marine codex, I wonder what they would actually add. Obviously the Stormtalon, but maybe the Stormraven, but outside of that, what can they add? New Special Characters? Model wise everything but a handful of things are plastic, and even then, i doubt they'd make a plastic thunderfire cannon, though on second thought, the thing is a bitch to put together. Wait, there was an old Epic marine model that was an anti-air whirlwind like thing, maybe that? xtothez posted:Sure they can. Eldar/DE are Battle Brothers, which means IC's can join each others units and friendly psychic powers can be cast on them. The only restriction is that they can't join an allied transport. That does sound like a pretty mean unit. Crap, you're right, i forgot BB let you have ICs join any unit. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Jul 12, 2012 |

BOLS posted posted:The most powerful we’ve found so far is Eldrad Fortuning a unit of Harlies (take the Harlies from the Eldar codex as they can be Fortuned) with attached Archons with Shadowfields. twistedmentat posted:I don't think you can do that, as allies cannot have a unit from one army be joined by an IC from another. They seem to be saying "take the unit from one codex because its the same unit, but has better rules in the other one. your opponent won't notice". Sure they can. Eldar/DE are Battle Brothers, which means IC's can join each others units and friendly psychic powers can be cast on them. The only restriction is that they can't join an allied transport. That does sound like a pretty mean unit. I wonder if the Harlequins can benefit from Power Through Pain...

WhiteOutMouse posted:Deathcult assassins. I was thinking 1 lance 1 maul. I don't think you need AP3 in the 2nd turn of assault most of the time because you should generally crush on the charge. I think 1 or 2 double axe assassins should be good as well.

Double axe? These weapons are not specialist, the bonus attack applies to either weapon profile! So maybe all Lance & Axe, since we may need the AP2 and S5 will still do a number on vehicle butts.

Naramyth posted:Well that is basically 3-4 melta/plas squads at 1850. Yeah I really didn't think it was that many. Looks like you were right. The point of the blob is that it's Stubborn on re-rollable Ld9. Anyone who cares to focus fire it will probably kill it, but not in less than a couple of turns, so it's unlikely to die completely and it's unlikely to run away. It hangs around on an objective, Goes to Ground every time anything good shoots it and hopes that everything else in your army is much more threatening than 20 Guardsmen in cover (which in fairness, it is) so that by the time your opponent is trying to kill them off then there's not enough time/weaponry available to really punish them.

Especially now you can buddy up with IG for Fraternis Militia. I've been waiting for plastic Sisters since I started playing 5th. All they would need is a 5-sister box with all the bits like the Grey Knights box, a plastic Immolator sprue, a plastic Exorcist sprue, and maybe like a Penitent Engine 2nd wave with some other new crap GW will try to foist onto us.

There is already a plastic Immolator sprue. In fact, anyone buying a Sisters rhino buys the Immolator box instead because its the same price and comes with the extra gubbins. The actual turret section really sucks but the decorative pieces you get are great. Although most of the panels don't really fit anywhere on the rhino at all... maybe its a terrible kit after all. I just like the top plate and glass canopy. Incidentally, does anyone need a Dark Eldar battleforce? I've got one here, cellophane off but otherwise untouched, everything on sprue. Looking to offload it so I can pick up a couple of Immolators.

Phyresis posted:loving cracking up at this poo poo When I was staff, I suggested a Chaos army, all with the same mutation of 'diminutive stature'. It's fluffy, the mutation existed in the game setting, it's competitive because cover would be so badass for it, and the army would be legitimate for tournaments as it'd be entirely GW models. My Epic-in-40k project made two managers very unhappy with me.

Yea, I know. It's still unbelievably irritating that they actually had a prototype all set in 2007, and then just... didn't produce it. Not only that, they sat on it for what, four years, before finally releasing something similar for a different army. The current Eldar Jetbike box was released in like 1993 or something. It is older than the average 40k player.

The new walkers are boss, but I kind of have a soft spot for the old metal ones, I even repainted mine!   The new Wraithlords are just so much better than the old metal ones, though. It's amazing what difference a torso makes to a model. The problem is that I have 3-4 metal Wraithlords, so I really can't justify buying plastic ones for a game I don't even play much any more. Same goes for Dire Avengers - the plastic kit is rad, but I have 15 of the old metal ones. Sigh.
