All of this Stormwolf/Stormtooth stuff makes me really want a Fire Raptor. Maybe once I get more than ~300 points painted...

The Fire Raptor is the only FW model I kind of want to get, but I might be looking at the Nids stuff (or scratchbuilding a Mieotic Spore) and getting IA4.

I don't know, I think the Stormwolf could look good if you used the fuselage and converted the rest. The stubby wings certainly don't help it.

If you throw another pair of engines onto the front, it might look ok, but why spend more money to fix something's probably going to cost 90 bucks out of the box? I'd probably just grab the assault ram for use as a proxy. It's a better model.

Ever buy a kit knowing full well you'll never use it, ever, because it's complete garbage? I sure did! On the other hand it'll look good on a shelf, and I always told myself I'd paint a Dreadnought so I can cross that one off the list. The question is why the hell did I magnetise the arms on a display piece? One day I'll figure out what to write on all the scrolls.

Assuming you put a heavy flamer on the arm it's a major threat when put in a Drop Pod. Is a Venerable kinda lousy since 6th/7th? Maybe, but it's more survivable than a regular Dread and with correct deployment you get to yell, "I WILL BURN YOU" as you threaten and/or destroy a whole flank with it. Kind of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_b-qBTul44&t=94s

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:venerable dreadnoughts aren't complete garbage, they're just kind of garbage Given their two biggest weaknesses (Monsters and insta-killed by penetrates) are lessened in the new edition, and the venerable upgrade is much less risky against anything not AP1, it's not a bad buy. Granted the gun versions are still better, but you can get away with stomping forward / out of a droppod.

Ain't nothing wrong with these. Clean up the smudges on the white, drill the barrels on that assault cannon. What you have is a set of competently painted models, when you get better you can put fine detail on these and they'll shine. I take it the Assault Marine is your latest model? Nice highlights as far as I can see. Also, resize and crop your photos, meng, 3000 pixels wide is kinda smarmy.  I use Irfanview because it's super light weight, starts up instantly, compresses/crops/resizes very fast and easy.

Ah, cool. Didn't know about Irfan. And no, the terminator would be my latest model, just finished him tonight. The highlights maybe a bit difficult to see because of my lovely lighting. I should probably have taken the pictures under our sunlight lightbulbs

Could anyone give me some advice on my first ever Tyranid list? I haven't played since like, early 5th so mind you I'm not confident in my purchases. I am also making do with what models I actually have, so please no suggestions to, idk, field and unbound list of 30 Carnifex or something.quote:HQ Not sure where to squeeze in 25 more points. I might cut that Genestealer unit in half and take a fourth unit of Gaunts. edit: updated my army list! managed to trim it down to 1850 and squeeze in another unit.

I would say drop the upgrades on the genestealers, you are paying WAY too much for something with a 5+ armor save. What are you using hive commander for? If you are going to go that route with gaunts you should grab a full unit of 30 with ~20 devourers. Drop most of the upgrades on your monsters to get a full unit of zoanthropes.

Hmm, should I drop the Genestealer's upgrades or remove them entirely? I've got a little over 80 Gaunts I can field. I'm sure no one will mine if I proxy Zoanthropes with my Venomthropes, either. I've had people telling me I should ditch the Warriors but I kind of like them, if they're going to be sitting in the back shooting and providing synapse.

Strength of Many posted:HEAVY SUPPORT  You don't want to run something like this, trygons are pretty great standard. For example, they already have fleet so don't bother with adrenal glands unless you really want furious charge for some reason. I guess it could combo with that Reaper for S8, but you shouldn't even be taking that thing. It's crazy expensive. If you want this guy to re-roll wounds, just take toxin sacs and leave it at that. You can always use a Smash attack if you really need the strength. Also, acid blood is awful and will rarely result in anything thanks to requiring a failed initiative test. Regeneration could be worth it, but it's pricy and adds up really quickly when you're running multiple monsters with it.I'd trim this guy down to maybe toxin sacs and nothing else. That's down to 240 points which would save you 95 for a bunch of other models.

It’s eat rule is actually pretty beastly. It is similar to the old Red Terror rule where you just flat out eat a guy if you hit him (need one 6 to-hit instead of 4 hits). Bravo, FW. I retract my statement that its rules would be almost unusable and would be super overpriced. I don't even mind the look of it honestly. It's just stupid that for all intents and purposes, it's a Jump MC that only moves 6" and it's base looks like it's at least a 4-5" circle (and MCs get Move Through Cover for free anyway) so there's two reasons why 'leaping' in the movement phase would literally do nothing. It's statline is good but the situational FNP does nothing to keep it alive in the 3-4 turns it's slogging across the board at a breakneck speed of 6+d6". Like another goon said earlier, at least a Trygon can deepstrike next to what it wants to kill so it only gets shot at for one turn before it hits stuff.

There was some weird stuff in 6th like Black Templars and Sisters of Battle hating each other.

I wish Relic made the Ultramarines movie. In any case, I am still learning how to do line highlights decently. My marines are all metallic silver. White highlights seem too bold, but toning the white down some seems to make said highlights invisible against the silver/grey. Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of full already-painted armies (Orc, Necron, Salamadar Space Marine, Tau) that I bought 2006ish, but I never really played that much. I'm looking to sell them, but I don't remember enough to even identify the figures and vehicles. (There are some pretty sizable vehicles too.) Would I be able to get help identifying them if I posted pictures/video here? I'm looking to sell them as they are just collecting dust right now. I live in Albuquerque if, on the off chance, someone live nearby and wants to help. There's over 100 if I remember correctly.

It has already been said that the rulebook allies matrix has been streamlined to make it easier. If you don't want they to ally then don't ally them. But there are plenty of situations where Eldar of both types will work with each other to spit on a bunch of mortal apes. It allows the many people who want to do it the pathway, and it makes sense anyway. They also removed the worst part of the 'come the apocalypse' barrier as well, since awesome Count-as people like Buffalo Chicken can make amazing conversions. Oh, and 40k basically is already the apocalypse so I guess the chaos daemons fight the tryanids in a battle that happens to include some Imperial guard, wha'daya know.
