Good thing I have no money, I would love to snag those robe-bros, would probably make them into spooky death company (I have Dark Angels and Blood Angels, trying to model and style them to be mix-and-match as I please). I'm using my robed marines as the veteran sergeants for my squads, as opposed to the standard scrubs that are my sergeants when I'm feeling like skimping on points.

AbusePuppy posted:I... I'm not sure I like it. It does mean a LOT more page-flipping, although they are at least nice enough to give you page references for everything. Still, the really short unit entries feel pretty weak overall (oh, hey, thanks for the half-page photoshop job of a model from each unit, that's something I couldn't see on the internet) and I find the army listing to be a lot harder to read overall. It's not catastrophic or anything, just annoying. Yeah, I think the page flipping will make writing a list more tedious. I do like the improved organization. They could kill two birds with one stone by going back to smaller art pieces and using the space to add unit fluff. I do like that there is a page of fluff for each clan. One of the benefits of the reorganization seems to be more room for general faction fluff. God, I feel like I just wrote a charm to summon the Snuggle Bear.

I usually glue the right arm on first, then once the glue dries the left arm should slot into place pretty easily.

Proletariat Beowulf posted:On a side note, does anyone know how to get ahold of or kitbash a shitton of Warbuggies? 30pts for TL rokkits is just too good to pass up, and all I have are 2 Wartrakks. The Kromlech ones are badass-looking, but significantly more expensive than finding used GW ones on eBay to kitbash into something halfway decent-looking. Adding to what NTRabbit said, Ramshackle Games. Even cheaper (Orkier) than that is what I did this weekend. Go to a dollar store and buy up a bunch of those cheap monster truck knock offs. Cover with plasticard & gubbins then call it day. I finally found a use for all those rokkits my Dakkajet came with, too.

How many killsaws is a good amount for a 5-man meganob squad? They're all currently modeled with kombi skorchas, except for the one I just made into a dual killsaw setup. Now I'm trying to decide if I should convert another, or maybe make one of them into a big mek? I already have a megaboss, not sure if that's really necessary. Alternately, does anyone know of any good trukk alternatives? I'm thinking about picking up a third and I don't feel like kitbashing it but I also don't want it to look like my GW trukk.

Well any vehicle you attack you'll pretty much be charging. So one MAN with killsaws gets 5 attacks at Str 9 with 2x dice to pen. Even a land raider would have a hard time shrugging that off, an that doesn't count any other MANz with him. IMO Killsaws are overkill but if you like em go for it.

I think one Killsaw in a squad is a good insurance against Knights and other walkers; S8 is hard-pressed to deal with AV13 before they get cleaned out entirely. I don't remember what they pay for them offhand, though...

So, um, I did a thing. I should preface this by saying that I based my meganobz on classic megaman bosses. They are, after all, mans! I've got Guts Man, Cut Man, Metal Man, Heat Man and Snake Man. Until now, they've all been equipped with kombi-skorchas. But I really like the look of killsaws on meganobz, so I hacked up those big buzzsaw choppas from the nob sprue and gave metal man the saws he's always deserved.   I decided I like the idea of 2 out of 5 manz having the killsaw, but wanted to go with a more nontraditional one for my other nob [to keep metal man more unique, mostly]. I dug through the big pile of potential stompa/old toy bitz I recently retrieved from my parents' house, and found these little gundam hands.   Admittedly, it's a little much even for me. But I'm adding a bosspole to the squad as well [that one's just wedged in there right now. the arms are too, actually] and I think it makes sense for one of the nobz to be more badass than the others if he's gonna have the pole. This guy already had the most badass face-mask, and in megaman Guts Man is also the largest of these robot masters. I really like the way it looks! The upper arms are really big, but I think it gives it a gorilla-like proportion to them. But it's big. Like, really big. He's almost as big as my warboss now.   Is it too much? Am I flying too close to the sun? Is this one of those things that I will think is awesome until the second I finish it? Am I blinded by how cool it is thinking about guts man suplexing a dreadnought? [bear in mind, I am pretty sure I can pull this off. I guess I just don't want there to be any confusion about who the boss is.] Ignite Memories fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jul 9, 2014 |

SRM posted:Couldn't have said it better myself. I hope some actual ex-GW sculptors come show them how not-40k is done. I like that they stand as a company that can do plastic minis and do an army-scale game to try and match 40k, but I don't like their aesthetics (generally not enough focus, like a cool idea here and there that don't work together) and the material/casting quality is all over the place. Since they're not making not-40k, I'd rather they simply went with the best sculptors, rather than getting the best of the dregs left in the sinking ship because 40k and GW. As it is, they already make plenty of excellent sculpts, they just get ignored by people with GW aesthetic blinders on. More vehicles will be about next year.

Yeah, Mantic has a few parallels but they're trying to do their own thing and their newer models are way ahead of the old ones. Also , Da Bruvvahud Ov Steeel make good MANz, and any aesthetic differences are made up for by the price.

The various Imperial codices completely (mechanically) eliding the possibility of the daemonic corruption that's all over the fluff would be fine if it was, I don't know, in one of the Chaos codices. Or even a drat supplement. But that would be crazy talk.

Hey guys just a quick rules question about walkers as I haven't used them a lot since I started playing but I've decided to try them out with 7th ed. My interpretation is they essentially move and assault like infantry but they still follow the combat speed rule of firing one weapon at full BS and the other as snapshots. Is this correct?

Nope, walkers fire everything at full BS regardless of whether they moved. Exception is they can't shoot if they run, same as infantry.

Because I am insane, I'm also building Tau in addition to my orks. Current 2000pt plan is Farsight, two three-man crisis teams, Honor-wossname the Eight-member Riptide, a normal Riptide also with the pilot array (as the Eight don't count towards signature systems limits), a three-man broadside team, and two hammerheads. All the battlesuits have full drone complements. That sound reasonable? I'm debating taking even more battlesuits instead of the Hammerheads, just to run an all-mecha force, but the tanks seem pretty sweet for their point cost. Meanwhile I've gotten me more orks ready to paint, so I should be posting pics of some within a few days!

They shoot hard, but it is just one shot, it seems like a rather unreliable way to make vehicles go boom. But I guess that is what is available, except crisis suits with melta. Oh yeah, there is also the Firebase Support Cadre. 6 Broadsides and a Riptide with free tank hunters, not sure if that is available to Farsight or not.

You could use more troops - the classic choice is Kroot, dirt cheep outflank that can get S7 shots for side armor. Devilfish Firewarriors are also not terrible now that Devilfish score and can jink for a 3+.
