Does anyone own Sanctus Reach: Hour of the Wolf, or know anything at all about the kaptain badrukk formation therein? I'm strongly considering treating myself to another 5 flash gitz because I am crazy. edit: motherfucker, they both need to be 10 large? Screw that.

Cataphract posted:Totally, as I said a few pages back, orks are excellent at maelstrom missions. They can completely dominate the real estate and pick up those objectives with fast cheap units like single deffkoptas from turn one. I've found that the more I play maelstrom missions, the more I tailor my army builds to them. Besides the obvious inclusion of fast scoring units (an easy given with my DE and Eldar armies), I've also begun to bring a more diverse selection of units. My beloved Harlies show up a lot more now because my Eldar might be called upon to destroy something in CC, or my Dark Eldar may pull the "manifest a psychic power" card.

This seems really good for the game, if bad for the actual narrative of each mission.

If you take the time to have really good objectives that both sides would be fighting over, then the cards seem very good for the narrative of the mission. Even more-so if you're a guard player because you'll be getting nonsense orders all the time.

I think honestly the mission cards will be better when they release Codex specific Mission Cards, the Ork set from what I seen is very Orky.

It just seems difficult to make objectives that any two armies in the warhammer universe could be fighting over. As a mech orks player, my only objective markers are piles of oil barrels. This makes perfect sense for me, and I guess imperial guard, but what about when I'm fighting tyranids? Or Necrons? Also, don't all the space marine stuff have like, nuclear engines and crap?

They contain radioactive genetic space oil, obviously! Of course, ANY objective works for us orks players, because orks.

Most any objective works for Eldar too, since at the very least they could be on the battlefield to deny those resources to their enemy for whatever arcane reason the farseers portend.

My buddy and I have decided to play a secret deployment game on Wednesday - we have secret army lists and assign each unit a card from a deck (he's red suits I'm black suits). Deploy the card, and it's unrevealed until it moves, is shot, or shoots. Should be fun actually, as I have no bloody clue what he's bringing so I've tried to bring 'surprising' units myself.

Everyone should use flags for objectives. If video games have taught me anything it's even the most exotic alien races loving love flags. I bet nids love the taste of flags. Flags.

I never really pictured that the 40k armies were out wasting lives, masses of ammunition and fuel so that they could scavenge for a few drums of oil. I figured objectives would be a bit more tactical or epic in nature. Secure this hill as it is a good vantage point for scouting enemy movement, our understanding of the xenos suggests that this cave is an ideal spot for a breeding pool we must stop them . There's a hidden chaos relic below this area we must find it to summon the powers of the dark gods the followers of the corpse god must not stop us. POWs have escaped an enemy camp and signal says they're somewhere in this vicinity; we need to secure this area so that we can safely look for them. It's pretty easy to come up with a reason the two armies are fighting.

I've decided I'm indeed getting out of 40k for good but every time I start to inventory my Chaos I have no idea how I'm going to sell and ship this much stuff as I really don't want to try and part it out. I mean, gently caress, there are like 30 Forgeworld Death Guard marines, 20 FW Khorne Beserkers, FW Terminators and dreadnoughts along with doors on all my rhino's and poo poo. This is just going to be depressing when I try and figure out how much I've spent and how much I'm going to lose.

I'm in the same boat, 7th and the recent poo poo show codex runs have made me want to get out but looking at how much I've 'invested' vs how much I would get in return is legit depressing. I'm not talking "oh man I've wasted my life hand me the vodka!" depressing, but maybe *sigh* depressing ya know?

Yeah the more I look at the new codexes the more I realize I'm uninterested in keeping up with lovely half assed codexes chopped up to remove more money from me. I'd much rather buy more models than waste cash on soon to be obsoleted paper. Since I play with a small group of very old friends I'm thinking about giving up on trying and just stagnating on rules. We play so infrequently I think only did like 6 games before the game version changed. Love the new models and painting but the actual game itself? Not friendly to really casual players.

Switch to an old edition, create rules for specific models if needed, have fun. Boom. Problem solved. Hell, some of the rules improvements can probably be ported directly in, given how the rules are written. Basically, gently caress GW for being in the control of a dude who only knows how to temporarily maximize profits for the period it takes to destroy future growth possibilities. The company has been poo poo since 3rd edition 40k and Ravening Hordes era 6th edition Fantasy.

I think 7th might be my favorite version of the game, and I played everything except Rogue Trader (although my 5th and 2nd edition experiences were cursory). I wish a few things were different--talking about the game, now, not GW as a company--but generally speaking I really like the vast majority of the changes.

Rogue trader was loving nuts and took a whole Saturday just to play a very small game with 4 people. I recall one episode of using a robot with the instructions to "Shoot at green" and the ork player insisted we waste all of our shooting targeting a flocked hill instead of his unpainted orks. High School was the best.

LingcodKilla if I was a better ham I would have a fully painted army, but between work and my type A obsession with painting I have failed you  Honestly if it wasn't for forgeworld, recasters, and cool people I would have dropped out of 40k years ago. There are better games out there that cost way less.

I really prefer just sitting around painting and bullshitting to actually playing. I painted with an old high school buddy I just recently reconnected with last weekend. He just got back into painting and playing because apparently being a Federal prosecutor is a stressful job.
