And with this cat done I now have over 3k points of painted orks



So, whilst I still have a whole bunch of additional ork models, I'm going to start building a new army; I'm finally going to paint my Minotaurs.

Man I love this model and you have done a great job painting it. Sorry about the loss of all your gryphonne sepia. Pictures of the stompa rarely do it justice though imho. In person the model is really great fun to look at.

Also - I am looking forward to seeing what you do with Minotaurs...

On another note - I have begun working on my Black Legion army. Thanks to The Talon of Horus by ADB and the release of IA13, my wallet has taken some punishment, but I offset it by selling my FW World Eaters army. I have a massive shipment from FW on the way in support of The Black Legion, and my efforts to complete my collection of Poster Boys armies.

I like'em. As a suggestion though, some squad markings or insignia could really help make them stand out and pop a little more, make them distinct and such. Freehand if your hand is steady, or decals if you want something crisp and exact.

Somewhat related, but: is there any company that makes 28mm modern or futuristic-looking composite longbows? I've been thinking of making some sniper scouts and got the idea of having them with some Turok 2-style bows for count-as rifles, but I don't really want to go through the effort of scratch-building them.

I painted squad markings on the bottom of the base of my 50 tacticals (and did a cutesy partially filled circle thing on the kneepad but you can't see it from tabletop hight), but when I repaint them they are getting backpack color coding.

Just played against an IA13 list in a quick 1k point game. God drat militia are cheap but nasty with the combat drugs - 4 attacks on the charge despite having no save was surprising.

I only won because of a lucky double rend :2sick: no scope headshot by my sniper scouts on Huron which broke the unit at a critical moment.

nope, only the troops in a combined arms detachment get objective secured. The models in a different type of formation or detachment receive different bonuses.

If you have access to Imperial Armor 13, which as TONS of new toys for Chaos in it, take a gander there- the Sicaran is a great way to kill Serpents (no Jink saves against its main gun) and there's lots of other neat things as well.
Yeah but almost 200pts for AV12. I love sonic weapons as much as the next guy, but that is a LOT to ask for a thing that only fires one gun most turns.

Ta for the heads up. I'll have to pick up IA13 once I've finished my current backlog of figures to assemble and paint. Happily the chaps at Bexley Reapers are cool about substitutions and half-complete models. Which is good as my havocs didn't have heads last time since I'd spent depressingly long trying to get their weapons to stay on.

No. Only troops taken in the Combined Arms Detachment, or a formation that specifically grants Obsec get Obsec.

Wait... 20 points? For real? Does that include crew? How many crew can you get?

I ask because they cost about 40 in 30k, sans weapons. With weapons you look at 50-70 points. That already makes them one of the best options in the game since Thudd Guns are silly good and T7 confers over to the crew.

Oh are Hero Clix 28mm? Or Heroic scale or whatever? Cause I wouldn't mind some substitutions for my Chaos army. Specifically Darkseid, do they make a big Darkseid model?

This is actually kind of cool, since that got me looking for 28mm Superhero figures.

Yeah, Rapiers are 20 points while Quad Mortars are 30. I guess this is supposed to be compensated by the fact that they're crewed by cultists who are hilariously bad. They can upgrade to BS3 for 10 points though.

Firestorm scatter lasers, 60" s6 ap6 heavy 6 skyfire interceptor twin linked on a bs3 hull

At least I think those are the most recent rules for it

Ah, that one; Eldar like to "borrow" names used elsewhere in the game, so...

I actually am not much of a fan of the Firestorm tank- it does get six shots, to be sure, but at only S6 it struggles to hurt a lot of flying targets. The fact that it is stuck with the old rules (BS3, super-expensive Holofields, etc) doesn't help any either, although you could likely convince your friends to let you get BS4 at least given how expensive the dang thing is.

It's... a pretty decent chunk of the book, actually. Forty-ish pages or so of entries and rules? It gives them access to most of the stuff "normal" IG gets, including a lot of the Forge World options- basically, everything except the Imperial Navy flyers and such. It's also got a lot of unique stuff of its own, though, which is quite cool.

I would go with the old standbyes of Telepathy or Divination; they both have some pretty handy stuff, depending on what you're looking for. Do yourself a favor and buy him a Drop Pod, though; with Wings of Sanguinous gone, he needs a way to get across the field.
