Does anyone have any experience of converting plastic CSM left arms to go with metal sonic blasters? I have 4 of the blasters but only 2 of the metal arms, so i need to convert some up.

Thanks gents! I'm really torn between the two arms myself. When I started I really liked the Dread better, but now I really like the posing of the smaller one. I'll just swap them back and forth until I inevitable lose one under my couch.

Otherwise, you can make do with left arm bolter-holders--just chop off the hand at the wrist and you should be good to go.

Yeah, I would guess they'll either get some bonus regarding Gets Hot, like maybe a re-roll or a bonus to saves against it, or maybe an HQ that twin-links plasma like Vulkan does for melta.

I think the popular rumor at the beginning was they could re-roll Gets Hot armour saves but that might've just been made up. I hope they also get Terminator plasma weapons though, that'd be neat.

Oh man, it would be so sweet if I could field a webway portal and hide a squad or two of aspects inside. Faction specific fortifications are one of the potentials of 6E that I really hope they explore. Imagine all the sweet possibilities. Safety Factor posted:Man, if Dark Angels don't get stubborn I'll be kind of mildly upset for a little while. They had that before anyone else did. With ATSKNF, they really don't need stubborn. My guess is that they'll get some boost to plasma and maybe a buff against CSM. I say that because the rules sheet for the special edition DV chaplain says his litanies give him and his squad re-rolls on all to-hit rolls against CSM, both in CC and shooting. So maybe they'll carve out a niche as the anti-CSM loyalists.

Yeah, a lot of our stuff is either useless or way too under/over-costed. Penal Legion probably cost too much, Ogryn will murder your points/wallet and they still won't be good, and half the 'Russ variants kind of aren't very good.

Lungboy posted:Do you roll on the Gift table if you kill a champion from range? Most of the description talks about melee but the important line just says to roll whenever a champion kills a champion. This got lost on the last page. Is it melee only, or would a ranged kill count?

The intention looks like it might be just for challenges given the context, but the rule itself is clear, any kill of a champion by a champion gets a roll. They might FAQ it, but I don't think you're out of order taking a roll for a shooting kill.

Lungboy posted:This got lost on the last page. Is it melee only, or would a ranged kill count? "Whenever a character with the Champion of Chaos special rule kills an enemy character" "If an enemy character dies as a result of multiple Wounds being allocated to it simultaneously, and one or more of those Wounds were caused by the champion, that champion still rolls on the Chaos Boon table. Note that destroying models in a Sweeping Advance does not confer a roll on the Chaos Boon table." Yeah it's pretty clear it is due to anything and they even clarify the one way in which it doesn't count. Multiple wounds allocated simultaneously would only really happen outside of a challenge. That's pretty neat though, you can use your 6's to hit on your champions to try and pick off squad sergeants and get a roll on the table. It makes plasma pistols a lot better.

If a unit with a champion attacks another unit with a character in it and during the resolution of the many wounds the enemy character dies would you say the champion gets a boon since he was involved in the wounds that killed the character?

Flying Guillotine posted:An updated pic of my DV Chosen: Alpha Legion? I do so love them. Though what bothers me is, despite how frequently they're shown as CSM armies (including front-and-center in the new codex), it seems like they'd be the least likely Chaos chapter to actually send out entire companies of astartes and daemons to battle. A "fluffy" AL army would probably consist of more traitor guard, and maybe just a squad or two of marines. The newest anthology, Traitors of the Space Marines, has a very well-done AL story in it, though. It does a good job of demonstrating just why they may have a lot to do with why the Imperium is as awful as it is.

So in making an Imperial Guard list, what units should I avoid? For context, I am planning on running a ground based guard list with no Vendetta support because fluffiness. I know that Ogryns are absolute junk. Are Stormtroopers/Kasrkin any good?

Have just got my first DV Dark Angels...so looking at pictures on Google Image Search, it seems like most people leave the Dark Angel iconography in place when doing their Fallen Angel versions. What are people doing with the huge wings on the HQ and biker units? I was thinking of painting them black or red with heavy highlights rather than cutting them off or marring them in some other way.
