Photos of my Mega-dread progress:   The engine:  The back:    KillKannon:   Feet:   You can take it apart:   Still got loads and loads of work left to do. I am working on the feet at the moment. Need a Rippa-Klaw arm. Major amount of greenstuffing too. This has been seriously fun to make, this is the best part of the hobby. More pics when I have progress and light.

Raphus C posted:This reminds me that I own this game, but have never played it. I loved the crap out of the second expansion. It almost got me to stat up Necrons, back in the day. They had some broken poo poo. I remember resurrection tricks with Necrons. One game, after my opponent had wiped my army out and gone to take my stuff out, I resurrected my commander, then resurrected the army he was with, then destroyed the Ork base first. Good times.

SRM posted:Dark Crusade was fun, yeah. It did some innovative stuff for the RTS as a genre. Soulstorm was just them milking the original Dawn of War engine for all it was worth. Dawn of War II in its multiplayer prime, namely Retribution, was the best time I've ever had with a strategy game though.

more like dICK posted:Thanks everyone. What loadout do Vendettas use that makes them so good? What makes flyers in general so good, just the combo of lots of guns and hard to hit? Venedettas are nasty enough as stock, with no additions. 12-12-10 armor and 3 twin-linked lascannons on a flyer that can also function as a transport for only 130 points is disgusting. A dreadnought with an upgrade or two costs about the same and has nowhere near the utility. I say this as an IG player

Three twin-linked Lascannons are what you bring with Vendettas. 3 shots that 75% of the time, and hit at S9. A very solid anti-vehicle platform for 130 points. Not all flyers are great but they're generally good for being very hard to hit and for being able to be effective from the turn they arrive. A flyer can appear anywhere along its player's table edge, move 36" in a straight line and then fire. With a bit of clever positioning it means you can often get good angles on prime targets immediately, and then maybe another couple of decent shots before you have to fly off the table.

They are 30-50 points too cheap. They cost less than a three las-cannon Predator, can transport troops, are only hit on 6s. Horrible things. I guess every codex has something that is under-costed, but they take the gold star.

SRM posted:It did, I do agree there. The voice acting and storytelling in it was pretty good, and the dialogue was as good as it gets for Warhammer games, but the DoW2 vanilla and CR campaigns were way better. The multiplayer in Retribution was amazing though. Counterpoint: the Ork campaign  Other than that though, I'd have to agree. I played through the Retribution campaign once with Space Marines to finish up the story from DoWII and Chaos Rising and again for the Ork campaign. I started most of the other races and never got around to finishing them since the missions were all the same regardless of who you played as. I think the Chaos Rising campaign was the best since it wasn't the usual "Orks secretly manipulated by the Eldar to stop an even bigger threat" storyline. Do people still play Retribution? I've thought a little bit about getting back into it, but I'm not really interested in 1v1s. Because I'm bad.

One of the best little things in the game is with the Kommando Nob dude. He can get an ability that tosses a bunch of whatever grenade he has equipped out in a ring. If he doesn't have any grenades on him he just tosses out a bunch of random poo poo like tires and live rippers he must've picked up from somewhere. Ork campaign, best campaign.

It was suggested I post this here instead of my own thread. I had an idea about how to capture and present a video of a warhammer 40k tournament game. (details can be seen in my thread in the dorkroom) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3528037 Anyway, I uploaded the videos of the first ForceZ tournament I went to. The second round of videos are going up on Youtube as we speak. The first one is there already and there rest will be up within the next hour or two. Head on over to my channel and take a look. http://www.youtube.com/user/Tabletoptourneys?feature=guide One piece of feedback I got from the last set of videos was to try and capture all of the table. Unfortunately I didn't get the wide-angle lense for the time-lapse camera in time. However it will be arriving this week and so for the next tournament, we should be good to go!

I assume these are the right links to the videos & setup: http://www.youtube.com/user/Tabletoptourneys?feature=watch & http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3528037 Watched the first battle report - I like the timelapse with voiceover style - gives you a good overview of what is actually happening during the game without being an hour long video that bores you to tears. I take it to pull this off you had to lug a large tripod mount & laptop about the tournament with you though, were you creating the timelapse videos after each game so you could see what you were talking about when doing the voiceovers?

I'm mostly interested in how the army will change for 40k. Them getting Psychic Powers is not entirely surprising; most people assumed they had them anyway. I'm hoping for an auto pass, or ignores perils at least. I'm also expecting the army wide deep strike to go away. MasterSlowPoke fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Feb 18, 2013 |

I do think that there's a chance that the deep strike deployment goes away but they'd have to make up for it somehow because the army would be rather slow, even with the beasts, jetbikes, FMCs, and such. Tyranids are pretty dependent on Tervigons in order to win; they serve as pseudo-transports for Termagants and help saturate the table with wounds.
