Dump_Stat posted:Yeah, I had a thing for wanting to do Squats counts-as Grey Knights for a while and I looked at a lot of the Mantic Forgefather stuff. It matches up pretty solidly with GW's, scale-wise, but I never really liked their aesthetics. A couple of the models are cool, like their Forgefather Lord and their NOT a Thunderfire cannon, but they always seemed just kind of ugly, rigid and blocky.

Pacheeco posted:Each psyker can cast as many powers as he/she has access to (based off ML level which directly effects the number of powers you will have access to) as long as you have the dice available but you can't cast any power (per each Psyker) more than once per Psychic Phase. How do you get that from what is written in the book? Let's look at the actual wording: quote:The number of psychic powers a Psyker can use each turn depends on his Mastery Level. Merriam-Webster: "to be determined, based, or contingent" So relating that, we have the following: quote:The number of psychic powers a Psyker can use each turn [is to be determined, based, or contingent] on his Mastery Level. The other issue seems to be that "Mastery Level" is somehow seen as indefinite or spurious. It is not. Mastery Level is a definite 1-4(+?). They immediately followed that previous section with a section on what a Mastery Level is set at. It doesn't say "depends on his Warp Charges availabe", it doesn't say "depends on the number of powers he knows". It says plain and simple, "depends on his Mastery Level." By extending that to include all the powers potentially generated by a psyker with a certain mastery level you're extending meaning which is not in the wording. You're essentially attaching an interpretation beyond the literal reading. I don't really see how that can be taken any other way. Boon fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Aug 22, 2014 |

dichloroisocyanuric posted:Can Psykers know more or less powers than their ML? This whole psychic phase thing is new to me. Yeah. If a psyker rolls all of their powers from the same list they get the primaris for free. So a level 1 dude would automatically have two powers, a level 2 would have three, etc. Level 2+ psykers have more options if they want them and can roll off of multiple tables, but they won't get a primaris unless otherwise stated like with chaos.

dichloroisocyanuric posted:Can Psykers know more or less powers than their ML? This whole psychic phase thing is new to me. This depends on special rules of the Psyker and/or whether they are Chaos Daemons. Warp Focus grants you the Primaris of your Psychic table provided you only generate powers from one table (i.e. only Telepathy, etc.). Certain Psykers can know more powers than their Mastery Level based on rules specific to that model/unit and Chaos Daemons Primaris of their patron god regardless of what powers they know otherwise (due to Chaos Focus). For instance, a Mastery Level 1 Herald of Nurgle can roll on Biomancy. Since all powers were selected from the Biomancy table, they get the Biomancy Primaris. They then additionally get the Nurgle Primaris. Chaos Focus is pretty specific to Chaos Daemons in terms of being beneficial, since it just guarantees a Chaos Space Marines Psyker the Primaris of their god. They're required to roll at least one on their god's table anyway, so it just allows a ML2+ Psyker to branch into another table and still get a Primaris out of it. A model can "know" less powers than their Mastery Level if they roll a Perils of the Warp during play and "forget" one of their powers by rolling the result that forces you to randomly lose a power.

Don't forget wargear and other factors. One great example with the new GK book is that it's possible for a ML3 Librarian to know 6 of the 7 spells in Sanctic (primaris from Warp Focus included).

I like to convert my Scrunts a little to better match the aesthetic of 40k. To do this I put some lubricant on my Scrunt, then gently moulded a skull on the crotch area. I can't wait paint my Space Scrunts. What sort of wash goes best on Scrunts?

I was playing a game yesterday and my Scrunt HQ got rammed off the table, "gently caress my Scrunt!" I yelled! It was too late, my Scrunt was on the floor, ripped apart. "You totally destroyed my Scrunt!" I told the guy. He didn't seem bothered, actually said I'd been asking for it all game. I wish guys would be more delicate with my Scrunt...

I like most of her miniatures but it's weird she's associated with female models when as far as I know has just that one line. That line the Raging Hero one is pretty nice actually even if they seem to have the same cloned face for every model and has some great sculpts. Some of it's cheesecakey but those bikes especially are really awesome. For Checkerboard hazard painting , I think there was some guide on Dakka that used some sort of mesh or something that came out looking really good and was a paint by numbers method.

SRM posted:I don't mind molded caution stripes because hard lines can be hard to paint on flat surfaces. It doesn't make any sense physically, but if it'll help my lines look cleaner I'm into it. If I get a Fire Raptor, I'll have to figure out how to do caution stripes on those big flat surfaces cleanly, since masking tape always ends up shoring up at the edges and looking awful on my stuff. There's always transfers. None of the GW ones are very long, even on the vehicle sheets, but you might be able to I dunno, daisy-chain them together. Failing that you could always print out your own.
