Made me some renegade Imp Guard! I didn't want them to be overt Chaos worshippers, just generic horror dudes like in some bad movie. For platoon 1, I have to give credit to whoever came up with the Kroot legs + ghoul bodies combination I saw here on the forums years ago.     Platoon 2 are just zombies or something:   Commissar (Summary Execution via mouth) and Primaris Psyker:    Used to be a Forgeworld Hydra, when their rules weren't poo poo:   And I just finished some mortars. I guess mortars aren't very points worthy but who cares as long as they look pleasant:

That IG army is great, but could end up being a bit awkward if you ever come to the attention of the police! I had my first game in 7th edition rules last night, also the first (maybe 2nd?) time I have ever played against modern necrons. I eventually lost 16-10 on the 'Capture and Control' maelstrom of war mission, 1850 pts. Prepare to be bored about it: - I found the new super-random tactical objectives more fun than I expected. I can see why the idea pissed people off, neither of us had psykers and both of us, at one point, rolled the kill a psyker objective, and basically whether you gained points in a given round was more due to what objectives you rolled than anything else. But it at least kept the game fluid and very turn was a 'how can I achieve my obj' rather than the traditional 40k missions, which as I discussed with my opponent have always been pounding the enemy to poo poo for 4 turns and then moving onto a position. We both rolled on the tactical warlord traits and I consider this a pretty sound strategy as you may not find x or y game bonus useful, but the tactical objectives will always matter. - My army was pretty rounded, even now I only just have enough fully painted stuff for an 1850 IG list. 3 small infantry platoons with a commissar or priest in each, flamer PCSs, 2 HWSs, aegis line with quadgun, then 2 basilisks, 1 manticore, 1 leman russ, and led by a 2 executioner tank comd squadron. Because of his army (see below) I wish I'd chosen a slightly nastier or more extreme list! - As I often seem to do (I never learn) I had taken up the first opponent offering, one of the other club-goers was literally whispering to me about how terrifying a player he was. Whatever, I like to compete and it's the best way to learn the rules. He was actually a good sportsman, a bit of a cave dweller but not in a bad way. Excellent player in terms of micromanagement and achieving maximum objectives. Really learned a lot in a short period about the 7th edition rules and game types. - But, his army was just built to piss me off. It was a very clever use of the new rules and necron rules meshing in unexpected ways. He took: Imotekh, a lord with every upgrade on a command barge, 4 ghost arks all full of warriors with a cryptek, 3 annihilation barges. All the AV13-until-first-pen. So very hard for most of my army to get through. The clever bit is Imotekh made it night fighting, so 3+ jink saves, with snap firing being something he didn't care too much about. My army struggled to harm those super tough vehicles. Especially because, Imotekh strikes your army with lightning, which was very good the whole 4 turns (!) it lasted, and killed my manticore and both HWS outright in the 1st round! Gutted. - Given this luck, Imotekh's really excellent buff and lightning killed a hell of a lot more over the next rounds, I held equal on points through the 3rd round, then in 4th I got nothing with a bad draw and he took 6 points. The rest of the game was mopping up as I didn't have the force to stop him achieving obj. Even so, 16-10 wasn't too bad - I took 3 points in turn 7 just by a decent draw and careful movement with like 3-4 shredded units. - In retrospect I would have been much better off ignoring the annihilation barges and hitting ghost arks all game. I shot them first thinking to knock out his firepower units - maybe sound in a traditional obj game but not with tactical obj. Live and learn. Even then, that manticore would have been a real game-changer had it lived.

Safety Factor posted:I agree with this. I think cutting and repositioning the leg might have been a mistake. If you want the model to look like it's bracing you would have been better off with the default pose. Hopefully that's an easy fix. And I don't know if this is a side effect of altering the other leg, but the left foot is at a weird angle and doesn't seem to be completely in contact with the base. Yeah I keep going back and forth about it. My problem is that realistically that's how his feet would actually look - I was a competitive fencer in another life and the perpendicular foot stance would be really counterproductive to actually making the hammer strike, I spent like 10 minutes posing to figure out what angle would make sense. However, it doesn't look cinematic at all, it looks awkward like you're saying. He wasn't glued to the base for those pictures which is why he was off it, but I think I will reposition the foot again (now that he's glued to a base). Blah.

Glad to see Solar Auxilia continues the proud 30k tradition of 'way, way more flamers than you need'. Hopefully the Veletaris bring some cooler weaponry to the table. Also hopefully they're troops.

Aren't the giant studs supposed to be from armor that was hastily put together during the Heresy? Even in the darkest days of the Heresy, Brother-Artificer Aurumator practices the ancient lore of filigree application. 10,000 servitors see to it that every Aquila, every eagle, is gilded to the exacting specifications of the sacred Codex Astartes. No argument that it looks cool though. I like the dude on the right:

The promised land!  Listen to audiobooks while you paint? Why not?  White Dwarf folks on hand  Talked to the designer of this model for several minutes - it has 3 heads and 3 different riders you can use, and it comes with enough extra bits to make the 2 spare riders into characters/leaders on foot. Very cool stuff and I want to make it into a Chaos steed.  Giant roll-up poster for £75? Why not?  Many of the Warhammer World museum models were on display, with tons of empty showcases for Golden Daemon entries.  Forge World talks were very popular, Citadel had talks as well  One of the 3 awesome Forge World dioramas - this one depicting an attack on a Mechanicum base  Another amazing Forge World diorama - WHY AREN'T THESE CONTAINERS AVAILABLE TO BUY?!  OK, gotta do Zone Mortalis now.  Seriously. MUST do Zone Mortalis now.  drool...  Probably every member of Forge World was on hand to talk to.

I haven't been able to properly read through it yet of course but I did flip through it while talking to Adam, watched Rhys work on artwork on the amazing giant graphic tablet and got those two, Neil and Jervis to sign the book. Anyway, the book is gorgeous.

Also, I really like that more overtly Chaos stuff is on the way. I'm not interested enough in any one Legion to start a 30K force, but I'll probably start seeing loads of stuff I want to use in my 40K CSM army.

Wyches really suffer, Wracks are no good, Raider and Venom Deep Strike is awesome, Court of the Archon and Covens are good, WWP is the poo poo, Shadowfield is even better, Talos and Chronos (sp?) are good, Mandrakes are actually worth taking now. My next model purchases will probably be Grotesques or Court of the Archon models so I can try them out.

With Konrad's model coming out, the primarch model table will be clear for the next batch: Dorn, Corax, Alpharius, and Perturabo. I'm curious how they'll go for Corax. The guy's had a pretty varied arsenal throughout the Heresy books, and in the rulebook has two distinct profiles with different gear.

Do scourges with Haywire seem as good as they initially appear to me for wrecking IG, IK, and other Eldar armies? I'm thinking of running an allied Archon with WWP mounted in a D-Scythe Wraithguard Wave Serpent with Farseer for some awesome Deep Strike wrecking action.

I really hope they re-do the Malcador models, then, and that there's some cool 'normal' HQ models (I'd rather run some sort of super-guardsman than some Terran dandy), and also I am ridiculously surprised that...they're going to be outnumbered?
