Big Mek in Mega-Armour is up. http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Big-Mek-in-Mega-Armour

So are they releasing a Big Mek with KFF without Mega-Armor? I don't see one on the site yet, and they took the old one down as posted earlier in this thread. That... doesn't make any sense.

MANZ in general are up and man the models are dope. Also trukk nuts/skulls:

I exchanged some still in box killa kans for all the mek gun goodness I'll likely ever need. I'm getting my hands on the codex today so I'll be posting a few sample lists that I'd like to build/paint towards. Excited to get back into my orks.

I'm reading the codex and I'm a little confused about something. Can Boss Nobs who are leading a pack of boys no longer take armor just for themselves? That kinda sucks for challenges.

Edit: Seems like it. "The entire mob may take 'eavy armour", nothing about the Nob being able just to take it for himself. That sucks.

Each book has an AdMech list larger than the last.

Betrayal has the Ordo Reductor with just the Thallax Cohort and named HQ Magos Reductor, plus Land Raider/Avenger/Titans

Massacare has the Legio Cybernetica which has Magos Dominus, Enginseers, Myrmidons, Thallax, Castellax, Tech thralls and all the imperial flyers

Extermination has the Taghmata Omnissiah is all of the above plus a Magos Prime, a named Arch Magos, Triaros APC, Ursarax, Vorax, Thanatar, Krios tank, Knights Errant+Paladin+Lancer

Edit: If you meant the summary books, the Thallax and Castellax appear in The Crusade Army List book, but that's all. I imagine there will be a similar book summarising the Mechanicum and Dark Mechanicum once they're done with both of them.

What does the Tellyporta Blasta do anyway? I've been trying to keep up with all the leaks, but I'm not clear on what the weapon's profile or points cost is.

AFAIK it's a short range, high-S weapon that always wounds/penetrates on a 6 (and ID!), and it's a small-blast weapon.

Question: how effective is a Warhound Titan with two Vulcan Mega Bolters at 1750?

In that campaign I've previously whined about, I'm playing one of the real jerks. Though they've houseruled out most of my options, I'm typically the fluffy army guy, and I want to bring something completely dickish.

He runs Chaos Marines/ Daemons, and likes to bring Hellbrutes, Terminators and Daemon Princes. We're running Eternal War missions this week.

Edit: I would be proxying it with my Imperial Knight, which is not allowed in this campaign. :effort:

The MegaBolter is gonna be a pretty weak choice against his CSM because it's S6 AP3 and thus won't really hurt his Helbrutes or Terminators very well (and the Princes are presumably going to be flying, so...) If you have weapon options, the Plasma Blastgun is excellent against most kinds of targets and the Inferno Cannon will annihilate most troops out there. The Megabolter is pretty good against Daemons, though, so you could argue for one of those alongside the Blastgun.

Honestly, his list sounds pretty bad. Depending on what you have available, you could probably smash him really hard. With a little more detail on what you/they have, it wouldn't be hard to craft you a list.

Back to the Eternal Crusade I read that they want orks to be the F2p race. I can see it now. A bunch of pubbs who can barely shoot far outnumbering the skilled players throwing themselves stupidly at the enemy. Thats what they intended it seems. It also seems to be like planetside from what they were saying in the newsletter.

A Mega-Nob was already about $20 bucks, mind. I think the new kit actually saves you money (like two bucks) and gives you more options!!!

(Let's ignore how stupid it is to have to drop $20 bucks per model in the first place.)

Minimum 1, max 5 per squad.

I feel let down by this codex, but I can only hope what this means is GW will be reigning it a lot of the insanity of the previous codex in this new format. Also the unit entries or data-slate things are just bullshit pictures of models, I want more awesome artwork you lazy fucks.

The fact that half the artwork in the new Guard book was poorly-colorized versions of the portraits in the 5th ed book was incredibly disappointing.

Yeah? Well, uh, our Buggies and Deffkoptas are nice full page pics of 'Eavy Metal painted models from like 1996.

Edit: So I've accepted that Deffrollas are dead, but Wreckin' Ball trukks are a viable option. Why does a vehicle have an Assault weapon? What would it matter?

This is stupid pedantic but I absolutely can't understand why people say something is $xx bucks or $xx dollars. The dollar sign already means dollars. That's like saying something is thirty bucks dollars. I actually don't think the price is awful (especially when compared to the old price for metals, plus the discounts you can get from Warstore and the like), but when you compare it to Killa Kans which are markedly larger and cost like 20 bucks less, it's bizarre.

Also I got a thing. Does anyone know if old Armorcast foam takes spraypaint well?

I am completely baffled about the gameplay videos for Eternal Crusade so far. They're Alpha, yes, but why the hell would anyone show what they're showing off so far? The only thing that looks remotely good in those videos are reused assets from the Space Marine game.

Wouldn't it be better to spend a week or two making a single decent looking area to show off the reused assets?

On the flip side, the trailer for Deathwing and the screenshots on their site look pretty cool. That one looks promising, even if the Space Hulk setting is getting a little tired considering how massive the 40k universe is.
