Companion Cube posted:I'm very much looking forward to how my Emperor's Children will work in the new version. So far it seems to be mainly positive. Yeah I guess I'm not too worried because I play deathguard and I don't think my stuff was hit too hard. I'll need a nurgle chaos lord to unlock plague marines so I'd have had to swap out one of my princes anyway. I also ran 2x vindicators and an AC/LC pred so the oblit nerf isn't too bad on me either. Might drop the pred for some havocs with missle launchers and flakk missles plus an aegis line for my backfield, but it looks like my list won't be hit too hard by the new dex at least. No real interest in any of the new stuff so far, but zombie cultists might make me think about typhus. I'm definitely hoping each of the cult units is viable now though, it sucked for tzeentch and slaanesh players last edition, so hopefully they get some lovin'

Right, had a quick read last night. There is a ton of stuff that reads like an IA book with "such and such replaces so and so" - it really is an alternate game using the 6th rules as a framework. The wargear section is full of dark age weapons, conversion beamers, "legion" versions of standard gear. Weird units of tech marines and 20 man tactical squads. An expanded warlord style system for primarchs and other characters that moves the force org aound, the only one i can remember unlocks terminators as troops but grants extra objective wins if your HQ dies. I'm on my way to work now but I'll happily post up the contents pages later and then await further instructions.

On saturday we had a 40k tournament at my LFGS, we had 12 players, 8 marine armies, 1 Eldar (me), 2 Orks and 1 Tyranid army. We were using missions from one of the GT's in the area and I must say that they were pretty balanced and fun to play. I went with the following army: Eldrad - rolled on Divination everytime Farseer with 2 powers - rolled on Divination aswell Dire Avengers w/ Exarch in a Wave Serpent 3x3 Jetbikes w/ ShuCannon Wraithguard w/ Spiritseer, Conceal Vibrocannon (3 with a Warlock) Falcon w/ Scatter Laser Falcon w/ Scatter Laser I'm not gonna do a battle report on every battle, to much to remember but I'll do some highlights of every game. First Game vs Orks I wasn't equipped to deal with a green tide, and that's what I got. There were 6 objectives who were mysterious and had different point values attached to them. In my deployement zone I managed to get a 1 point and both 2 point objectives, my opponent got both 3 point and one 4 point objective. That started well, after that he just slammed down 80 Orks around his own objectives, just great. We rolled for mysterious objectives and all 3 of mine were Sabotaged, this is just getting better. The game ended in a 2 point loss for me due to some last turn Denial shenanigans, still a Major Victory for the Ork player. MVP: Vibrocannons killing a Battlewagon, Trukk and both Rocket buggies. Second Game vs. IG with DA Allies Opponent had a Fortress of Redemption and we were playing the Relic so he couldn't hide in there. The game ended with him controlling the Relic, he had 5 veterans, 3 Taqmarines and the Fortress, the rest was dead, I managed to win in the end but just barely. I shot every unit controlling the Relic but never had a chance to pick it up myself. Major Victory to me. MVP: Vibrocannons killing a Vindicator, Medusa, Chimera, Razorback, Leman Russ and some infantry. Third Game vs. Blood Angels Just straight up Killpoints which I won easily, nothing special here. MVP: Again the Vibrocannons killing 2 Baal Predators, 1 Land Raider and some infantry. You might be seeing a pattern here, those Vibrocannons were boss. In the end I finished 6th but I had an absolute blast playing this army. In the future I'm gonna replace the Falcons with Wraithlords and put more Wraithguard on the table, for now I'm happy as it is.

Holy poo poo, it just hit me. Forge World will basically make a better way of representing Thousand Sons than even the Chaos book Apparently the second book is at least a year away, but after that the rest will follow more quickly. Here's hoping for Magnus in the third.

Unless you are talking the HH series - in which case it will be a Legion and not really compatible with 40k lists. It is not intended to be played against standard 40k Armies.

Learned something new in 6th again last night. Did not realize fast vehicles and fast skimmers can move farther in Flat Out than standard vehicles. I kept reading the extra move as a total. My CCB can move 30", that just changed a poo poo ton for me.

I just wish the sweeping attacks took that into account, since you can only make them using the 6-12" movement in the Movement phase. Losing 12" off the threat coming from 5th kinda hurt them a tad.

I know that IA 13 is non-TS/general Tzeentch fuckery, but I was hoping that part of the HH stuff could be used in regular 40k. Suddenly collecting such an army is a bit less appealing since I can't imagine finding anyone in my area crazy enough to drop the cash on the models.

Eh, why not play it against regular armies? It may be the historical version of 40k, but they had to fight orks and eldar, even IG and not-nids. Seems fairly pricey to never play it with basic rules.
