Hixson posted:You can't use codex Eldar psychic powers of Dark Eldar anymore. It was FAQ'd. It was fun while it lasted though. You can only cast Eldar powers on an Eldar unit. Once an independent character joins a unit they are considered part of it. You cast it on the warlock unit that happens to have the archon in it.

Constructive criticism, I would remove the big shoulder-plates. I think armour doesn't suit Weirdboyz and it would also make it look further away from a Nob. Also Robot legs are ace. My next project will be converting a massive mob of Boyz into Cybork shootas. I am coming into a large blob of them soon.

Is there a good place to find the bitz to make a Valkyrie into a Vendetta? I've tried eBay, thewarstore, and bitz barn but they are either not on any page I've yet seen, or like $20 each. I'm thinking it could just be a better use of time to glue some lascannons (from the heavy weapons squad sprue) onto the weapon mounts for the hell strike missiles. ...I might just end up doing that instead.

As someone who actually has a Vendetta made with the Forgeworld conversion kit, that conversion looks more legit than the real one with it's  resin barrels.

Groetgaffel posted:Just do this: drat, right along the lines of what I was thinking, just a lot further along. I had experimented with taking the pylons and fitting the lascannons to those, and then sticking 2 of those on the bottom of the cockpit so all 3 lascannons would be right there together. I haven't put the wings on mine yet, I had wanted to keep it looking more like a helicopter than a plane but that is probably going to change here shortly

Hixson posted:How viable is a big seer council? Are jetbikes a must? Big gently caress-off seer councils with enhance, embolden, and a fortune or doom/fortune seer are pretty boss. They're very durable, but owing to their lack of AP and low number of attacks, they can get hung up on stuff with good saves. Anti-Citizen posted:The issue isn't that they're not eldar, its that they're from a different codex. It's probably both. They clearly want to limit the ways in which you can combo special abilities between different codices, but on the other hand, Dark Eldar aren't really Eldar anymore by the fluff. They're largely birthed by artificial means, their psychic affinity has almost completely atrophied, and their souls are irreversibly corrupt. Honestly (and this comes from a guy who loved running an allied archon with my seer council), it's more fluffy now that guide and fortune don't work on DE.

I think GWS game decisions are completely arbitrary. Attributing fluffiness or balance just gives them too much credit. I mean, can you ever imagine Space Marines taking orders from an Ethereal Tau? That being said, the Daemons/CSM IC split was probably just to avoid the amount of headaches in having people trying to Deep Strike ICs in with Daemons, or not having to Deepstrike or whatever. The Icons thing is dumb though, but who knows. Maybe they realized that it would allow a Chaos detachment to precision drop Daemons around them, that was just too much. It would garauntee people taking at least one unit of Chaos detachment (which doesn't hurt Daemons at all) just for that.

azwethinkweizm posted:Hmm my initial idea was a Spyder body. I think that could work but it wouldn't really make the model look like jump infantry. A Wraith body would, but I can't quite imagine how I'd attach a Necron torso on a Wraith body. Also wouldn't it just look like a Wraith? The way the wraith tails assemble they have a round bit at the top that connects to the base of the wraith body. You should be able to connect it to the underside of the destroyer torso pretty easily, especially if you use the tail that's modeled in the upright position.

Eh, as arbitrary and fickle as they seem, someone is making decisions for some reasons.

The thing is, this sort of already happens: most Daemon armies I have seen have an Icon in each of the deployment 'halves' and use it to bring the next wave in. Having it on an allied CSM squad would actually be worse, as you could only Deepstrike in your deply zone in the first turn if you wanted a guided drop, unless the Icon was in an Infiltrated squad, but since Chaos has no Infiltrators (Can't do it via the warlord trait in a detachment), that can't happen.

I feel it is time to unleash my awful painting skills onto the world. I'm going for a cartoony feel for the army. Just to warn you, most of these were painted within days of me picking up a paintbrush for the first time ever.  I give you Imho-Tex! The first kitbash I ever put together, mostly to see if I could. (Now that I'm getting slightly better at painting cloth I'm going to go in and fix the cape someday.)  My Immortals. I later learned that you can actually take time when painting and you don't, in fact, have to load your brush with as much paint as you can.   My second ghost ark (I am not posting the first one.) I wanted to show off a bit of the customization I did to it. The gauss blasters from the Immortal box and a valkyrie for the prow.      Since I use Crypteks mostly as heavy weapons guys I liked the joke of just using space marine heavy weapons. It also adds to the cartoony feel I'm going for with the army.  and Just for fun my destroyer lord.

Head over the the painting thread also lurking in this subforum if you haven't already, they'll got all sorts of tips for a new painter like you that'll make your life easier.

I'd be surprised. They have a history of granting IPs to companies who have a good record of making games that would fit the way the various GW games play out, like Rodeo Games getting Warhammer Quest due to Hunters, THQ getting DoW due to Company of Heroes etc. Also krush, check your PMs!
