If you can't get an airbrush, run with colored primer and paint up each of the components before assembling the entire thing. Colored primer will help you save time getting a base coat down. The level of detail is up to you from there.

I wish I had this guide when I decided to buy my airbrush setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXVmC2mfvPg I bought an Grex airbrush. It's good but I think it's not that much better given the price difference. The replacement parts for my busted brush are around $30+ when I can BIN a new brush from ebay for $18.87 Free S&H [edit] Upon closer inspection there are even better priced BIN auctions 2mm or 3mm.

So... we're not talking about this, then? Campaign book. Sounds pretty interesting. quote:Crusade of Fire is a campaign system for Warhammer 40,000 that enables you to join the campaign to control the Corvus Sub-sector. Whether you choose to join the Crusade of Fire itself, the foul Servants of Ruin or the bloodthirsty Prophets of War, the fate of the sub-sector lies in your hands.

This has taken 0 development time. It'll be half a page of rules and 50 pages photos of the dev team swanning about playing games on their lunch break.

I feel kind of bad when I look at a close-up on my 40k dudes, I'm worried how it'll turn on something massive. And thanks WOM, I'll take a look at that link.

GW Burning Crusade of Firey Fire! posted:...the book contains rules that can be used in any Warhammer 40,000 game, from massive multi-player scenarios fought in low-gravity environments or in bunkers deep below the ground, to expanded rules for Flyers. It also features rules for playing games in the gladiatorial arenas of Commorragh as well as for fighting battles on the surface of a Daemon World. Why would I spend £25 on this when I can just house rule my own stuff? Is there really an audience out there thinking "man I wish there was GW official rules for playing on a daemon world"? This reads like something that should have taken up two pages in chapter approved.  Baruch Obamawitz posted:Yes, that's totally what I want right now, and not new codex for Dark Angels, or Black Templar, or Orks, or Tau, or...

Depending on what you want to achieve, it can take a lot of time and effort. 2) If you game at a GW store, you can't really expect to bring in your own fancy custom campaign stuff. At least this way everyone has equal access to the rules. 3) See 1 again because really,  is hard.

Fix posted:Kinda interested in hearing about these arena combat rules. Yea, my FLG just started a multi-gamesystem campaign that includes pit fighting. I would love to have some standerdised pit fight/area rules instead of using Rogue Trader RPG rules when we just want the combat system and not the RPG aspect. It just really muddys everything up.

As Corrode said, this almost certainly has had zero impact on the codex development cycle. Most of the rules sound like things that would have been discussed when the main 6th edition rules were worked on, and they decided to split these off as an extra.

Poistiant posted:People say this but I totally quit my Necron army because no one could beat them and I trounced everyone I played so hard that I felt bad. How many games did you give it? When I first started playing with my current group in 5th I got my rear end kicked, then I learned from that and started to win a lot. The others at the club got stomped at first but adjusted their lists and improved their tactics until I went from near wipes to close games. Then 6th hit and the cycle started anew... lost badly at first, found a 6th ed list I was comfortable playing and started to win. Now the others have once again started to catch up and games have gotten much closer. Incidentally the only loss I have so far with my current list was against necrons. That on the other hand was a nasty, tailored lists and despite that I was only a few missed reanimation protocols away from victory.  It's actually really neat to see the local fluffbunnies optimizing their lists and improving their game while staying true to the theme they have picked.

Did I imagine this, or were there photos of Rogue Trader style Forgefiends/Maulerfiends that kind of looked like Dinobots? I can't find them on GIS, so either I dreamed it, or it was an original creation by someone in this thread. Well, BRB gonna totally spend $40 on a 96 page book. Right.

cat with hands posted:How many games did you give it? Probably around 40 games in 5th and 5-6 in 6th. I know I'm no where near an expert general and I did nothing fancier than just advance everything at the same time directly at the bad guys. Also I'm sure if I went to a tourney I would get stomped because I really don't try to optimize my lists as they are friendly games. I just run whatever I feel like necron-wise and it seems that I can just do whatever I want and win, so I don't play them.

It is strange that you had such success even though you concede the fact that you would not do well in a tournament. Did your friends play bad lists, Aun'Va kinda bad? Were there rules misunderstandings? I can think of a few things that changed that could easily sway games. Like always reanimating on a 4+ instead of 5+, or thinking necron warriors have a 3+ save instead of their new 4+ save. 40 wins with 5th edition necrons seems like a lot in such a short time, but I only play maybe 15-20 games a year. I envy people who play 1-2 games a week.

WhiteOutMouse posted:It is strange that you had such success even though you concede the fact that you would not do well in a tournament. The reason for that many games is it was a league thing, I would play 4-5 games a week against various armies. I had two losses, one against a Blood Angel who made my Overlord and 20 Warriors break after 1 round of melee and another against Ultramarines who brought terminators and ripped into me good before I could get enough shots on him. There were rules wrong every once in awhile but I think the rules fudging probably went equally wonky for everyone. One thing I remember is no one remembering that when you charged you hit back armor so they wouldn't charge my vehicles unless they had been pinned but that didn't go on too long. Playing against my friend with a Necron list I just threw together trying to just be mediocre with a list we intended to bring to a team tournament was the worst thing I basically kicked my own rear end. Turn 2 it was over because I had taken out "my" Forgefiend and his Venom with blaster dudes inside plus his Ravenger. The most effective anti vehicle we had after that was Typhus casting Weapon Virus on the arks causing them to glance themselves and a aegis line with cannon that I could stay out of LoS of. After that I sat around trying to think up a Chaos list that I could have a 50/50 shot at handling my mediocre necron list and I gave up then started bitching on here about it.

Well that was for like the first week then I read it and let everyone know, I had taken a long break from the game and expected them to know what was up rules wise. Last time I had played before I started up Necrons was 4th edition and I don't remember hitting back armor when charging and played in tournaments (during 4th) where you just hit the facing you could get to.

I'm pretty sure it's been back armour in melee since 3rd edition. I could be wrong but it's defini From the sounds of things you're a young person who plays with a group who's not 100% on the rules. Which is fine, but it's probably not enough of an experience to dismiss Necrons as an unbeatable army. Personally I agree that they're a top tier army but I don't think that they're broken. They've got a lot of flexibility but they're not ruling the roost. Tzeentch Daemon armies are king of the hill at the moment.

Deamons would be in a tough spot if people started opting against them, but that's not the easiest thing to do since it makes you worse at dealing with 3+ armies. Atm they benefit a lot from being the odd man out in the meta.
