It will...probably still eradicate nearly a whole squad, and 30k Marines don't have ATSKNF. So I was going through the Solar Auxilia stuff, and there's some awesome stuff. Lord Marshals (an upgrade for their HQ) both have Ld10 that every model on the board can use (as long as they're not falling back) and can select their Warlord trait instead of rolling for it. Likewise, you can get WS5 Veletaris storm squads, with power axes, to run roughshod over Marines. They still only hit at S4 but if you get off the charge they have 3 attacks (4 for their sergeant). The rules for the tercio are a bit unclear, but it seems like any section can take an ADL as a 'dedicated transport' as long as no other section has bought a DT. edit: this is the 4th time I've been the first comment on every other page and it is getting weird

Dagon posted:EM4 makes and sells the Space Rangers now. Just ordered 15 I bought some of their 'gangers' and 'troopers' off eBay because they were crazy-cheap and they're kind of garbage. They don't snap together very well and are very skinny / flimsy compared to 40k troops. Maybe I should try painting some up and see how they look but after putting them together my enthusiasm was gone

They'll get a new flyer called the Blood Eagle which is equipped with Carmine Cannons, Blood-Rage Rockets, Las-Blood-ers and can carry up to 6 Blood Bloods.

I would have thought the same way prior to the DE release. Now I'm pretty sure the most we'll see with BA is a new assault squad box like the new tac box that released with the SM book. I think you're right about Necrons.

BlackIronHeart posted:Ooooo. I'm envious. Here's a strange question about that kit that you may not have an answer for (yet): How tall is a Marauder model? Like, from the tabletop to the top of the rudder, if it's on its landing gear? Hello! I'm working on it as I type, I am going to fix the forward-upper fuselage and let it cure, then take a picture: ETA 1-2hrs. The approx dimensions are about 32cm long, including lascannons on nose by 41cm wide, with height about 12cm. I'd estimate it weights about 1.5kg, although I have used Araldite to join the engine and wings which means the join is EXTREMELY strong and unlikely to ever break. The more pressing question which I haven't considered is how to actually contruct a flying base for it.

Cooked Auto posted:That would be the Mars Alpha pattern hull as that is the same that the DKoK use if you look at their tanks section. It's a newer version of the Mars Alpha hull which was released with DKoK. You can tell what is DKoK based because they all use Ryza pattern. The original Mars Alpha pattern isn't in production anymore because it doesn't actually fit with current-gen LR sprues, although the Destroyer Tank Hunter still uses the original sprues.

I bought a mars pattern hull from FW last year, they must've stooped production recently. It actually fits the new kits decently, or at least as well as any FW conversion kit with their poor casting. I got their long barreled vanquisher turret too and it makes a siiick command tank.

ghetto wormhole posted:I bought a mars pattern hull from FW last year, they must've stooped production recently. It actually fits the new kits decently, or at least as well as any FW conversion kit with their poor casting. Fair enough, I found that the upper hull did not completelt join with the lower hull for my Laser Destroyer, so I assumed this was the case for all Alpha hulls. Project Update Time It's great now that I am not at University because I can literally spend my free time working on this. In any case, the wings, engine and majority of the fuselage are now fixed.   As I mentioned before, the engines and wings are fixed with Araldite. This is to ensure that they will not sponaneously fall off, it's pretty likely that the join will last longer than all of us.  As can be seen here, I need to do some filling. The miscast engine on the far left is a real pain in the rear end and I don't know if I'll ever get it right, I've opted to try to fix it when I fill. I left the canopy off so you can see inside the cockpit, in practice the lower interior space will be basecoated and maybe some weathering but you will not be able to see it at all. I guess it's for people wanting to make dioramas or whatever but for my purposes the two entrance hatches will be closed.  This picture is more for you guys, so you can get a sense of scale to the size of the Marauder Bomber when compared to a Thunderbolt. I actually bought this Thunderbolt off eBay so the paintjob isn't mine, however I won another Thunderbolt off eBay yesterday which isn't painted so I'll be able to demonstrate my painting skills on it and this Marauder Bomber. Moving forward, there isn't really much more on the major construction side to do. The next step is painting the interior and underside, the adding on the tailplane and flaps (which by necessity are going to be slightly open). Only then can I begin actually painting this sucker, which should be interesting. I haven't really decided on a paint scheme yet but I'll probably make it close to however I decide to paint my new Thunderbolt. I really have to say that to anyone considering buying Forgeworld, please consider it carefully. I've had a real love-hate relationship with it and Forge World, mostly due to the shithouse quality control they seem to have. The newer kits look tons better, but generally speaking FW things require some decent skills with different saws, files, sandpaper, knives, etc. in order to even think about assembly. The upside to the high challenge is that there usually are good deals on eBay for things which people give up on, like the Thunderbolt I bought for like a bit over 1/2 the price of a new one (and it's not even that badly done).

They're often recasts and their resin quality can be drastically different from authentic FW stuff,

So I'm thinking about when I get to use these bad boys on the table top, and it'll probably come down to a multiplayer Apoc game where I'll assist my teammates with some absolutely mad skills Navy air support. Currently, the plan is to use; Marauder Bomber - 410pts w/ Chaff/Flare Launcher It'll either carry the 12 Bombs or 2x Hellstorm Bombs depending on what I face, as there is no cost for payload. Thunderbolt #1 - 190pts w/ Chaff/Flare Launcher Thunderbolt #2 - 190pts w/ Chaff/Flare Launcher Min cost for Navy Air Support - 790pts One of my Thunderbolts has Hellstrike/Skystrike missiles modelled, but I think I'll decide on the payload closer to the game because the Thunderbolts are both really, really flexible on the mission profile. I've added the single-use Chaff/Flare Launchers because I think it's neat and they can hopefully save my expensive toys from at least one missile hit. Anyone have any experience running air cover during an Apoc game? e: Would anyone here have a major aneurysm if someone showed up to your apoc game with what I have.
