TheChirurgeon posted:This is the other reason I never use them. Also, Vindicators get the job done better and cheaper, and are more mobile. Regarding transport, I magnetised the defiler at the mid section and didnt glue the claws in, means it is much much easier to transport them. With regards to the Black legion supplement I do not blame you at all, the content of it had a lot to be desired and was really not worth the price. That been said it did have some cool rules changes and artifacts. Chosen as a troop choice allows you to field more special and heavy weapons that you usually would in a CSM army and for a much cheaper price.

I've been making custom dice for HeroClix players and it just dawned on me that I'm ignoring a potential goldmine, but I don't know the WH40k scene at all, so... wanna be low-rent market research? Scatter dice. Mine always go walkabout, or get mixed in with the other guy's generic white scatter dice. Having customised ones so that that there's no way someone else can claim them would be good.

TheChirurgeon posted:It's reasonably cool but I definitely felt cheated after I bought it. There's like two pages of rules material. That's understandable. Though I think people feel this way because it was the first supplement and folks just assumed supplements were going to be something they aren't. At least I think it was the first one...can't remember for sure.

Sentinels of Terra was the one that rubbed me the wrong way.

I wouldn't pay $50 or even 40 for a book of lore--and I like that stuff! I really liked things like the Hounds of Abaddon. But the cost doesn't justify that poo poo. That's more than the cost of other lore books, i.e. the novels, and it's at the high end of what I'd pay for a very good art book. I paid codex prices for a book that was basically 1/3 of a codex. At least the newer ones are better, from my understanding. I'm glad you didn't feel like you were ripped off, though? VVV Ah, that's unfortunate. Thanks for the heads up, though.

The new ones are still basically unit addendas and a new warlord/relic list so they're still pretty poo poo value (especially because you can basically piece together what they are with two blurry screenshots). Ninety percent of them are fluff so if that's not something you want to spend money on they're never going to be worth your time. I guess the new FOCs are cool but they're still pretty much bad BL novels with 10 pages of rules. A 50S RAYGUN fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 13, 2014 |

SRM posted:They can't halve the contents of the boxes. Right now each box has 5 dudes, and the parts for all 5 are spread out around both sprues in each box The only way they could halve the options in each box was if they had someone go in there with a pair of clippers beforehand, which is an incredibly silly idea. The $60 strike squad (if it's legit) is just two GK boxes in one larger box. I said halve the options, not the models in each box. We'll probably find that they've changed the weapon sprues around so that you only get one Psycannon in the GKSS box (for the 10 models in there) and 2 in the Purifier box (for 5 models) since there's really no other compelling reason to buy the 5-man box if a full squad one exists. It works for SMs because you can use combat squads to pad out Devastators, but the GK Devastator equivalent is build out of the exact same plastic kit anyway. Cataphract posted:

HiveCommander posted:Remember in 4th/early 5th when every gaunt had Spinefists? Then when Spinefists jumped up a point per model for what was functionally a twin linked laspistol on a BS3 model? There were a looot of Tyranid players hurt over that, who had huge squads of now overpriced laspistols. It's not always invalidation of armies (sometimes it is) but encouragement to buy new stuff because the old weapon loadouts are inferior or newer units are better. Sometimes they make mistakes (Pyrovores), it happens. We can see how GW at least tried to make Pyrovores suck less, but they still aren't worth taking. I love how everyone's assumed that because I said GW have a habit of nerfing old favourites to make way for new hotness, that it means GW do it in 100% of cases. Oh poo poo son! GW caused 9-11! Robin Williams was killed because he didn't buy a Wraithknight! Infowars! Open your eyes sheeple... Privateer Press and Malifaux didn't tone down any units or make other units better in order for people to buy new things. Open your eyes!

Sure, but again, I feel like that's GW looking at the way people are playing the game and seeing that there's an imbalance there. A single option is so good that it has made the other options completely redundant. It seems to me that their reaction is to try and create an environment where all the options are viable. I don't think it's some conspiracy to force people to junk their collections but rather an attempt at game balance.

I don't think it's some conspiracy to force people to junk their collections but rather an attempt at game balance. But netlists say that some units are better than others and if the new units are better than the old units you HAVE to junk your old models to buy the new models or you won't win games because it is impossible to win games unless you netlist!

HiveCommander posted:I just used the Autocannons from an Aegis Defense Line for my one They aren't going to change anything. They're going to shove two current kits into the 60 dollar box to give you ten space mans and the 33 dollar box will be exactly as it is now. They're just repacking the stuff for the new codex. Also price hikes maybe I don't know what the current price points for those models are.

It seems pretty dumb but not surprising since Storm Ravens, Land Raiders and Venerable Dreadnoughts are getting a kit that looks to have no change other than the box it comes in. Looks like the 'new unit' rumoured to be a retinue option for Crowe ended up being non-existent. Yay. If that's the case and there's no new units, I at least hope the Inquisition stuff stays so there'll be more than 2-3 entries per FOC. With a little more luck, they'll retcon some of the horrendous fluff from the 5th ed book.

Yeah, GK were pretty sparse for units even before, and stripping seven entries out of it leaves them with 1-2 choices in most every slots.
