Dark Angels just got a new dataslate from the advent calendar thing and it's kind of interesting. It consists of Ezekiel and 2-4 other librarians, but I don't think they're a single unit. The rules follow below: * Nominate one model at the beginning of the psychic phase. It can use the powers of all the other models in this formation within 12". They may not cast any powers themselves though. Also, the main dude succeeds on rolls of 3+. * Mind Worm, Ezekiel's unique power, has its range doubled if the model using it has at least one other librarian within 12". I have no idea how to work all of these guys into a list, but it seems like it could be fun. Just a bunch of space wizards running around doing their thing.

Sorry for not replying but I had minis to...paint. Previous postSlimnoid posted:

Since it seems at least some wanted to see more of this little project, here's what I've been doing since last time. I needed a proper HQ, so I waited until one of my Russes started to change into a commander:   Some veterans. Tried to steal the color scheme from my buddy's loyalist IG (he might be in this thread):  Conscripts! Gotta have conscripts:  And this thing that took ages to build/ruin/paint. I nerded out and put LED lighting in the cockpit, just because I wanted to try it out:

Goddamn we've had some great picture posts in the last page or so, keep 'em coming people! To keep the ball rolling, here's my finished Tyranid Warriors and with a Tyranid Prime. I still need to make one more Warrior to make the unit legal.   One of these days I should really get back to taking photographs with decent lighting, the florescent lights here in the office wash out all the shading and make the carapace look way more flat than it does in person.

There were not many. I posted the CSM one that people think is mostly meh and there was a dark angel one that needed a lot of junk units that no one liked. Everyone has hopes that the chaos daemon icon on the last day will be something super cool. Like exalted daemons with models on 120mm oval bases. It would be a Christmas miracle.

Thanks guys. This has been a great couple of pages. Rano those Guard are awesome. adamantium|wang posted:e: Rough count is 1 old Tyrant, 2 Eggs-On-Legs, 3 old Lictors, 7 old Gargoyles, most of 2 metal Warriors and about two dozen purple Stealers. BuffaloChicken posted:Those old-school Nids rule... awesome job! Only question though, what's with the varied basing styles? Are you going for a mixed look, or are they still in progress? Also: This is the best thing. Pierre, that's a sweet Prime. I'm glad the kit finally lets you distinguish in some way. Funnily enough, there's a crested metal Warrior that I'm thinking of using the same way.  (not mine)

Each day is one release from the fiction line and also one release from the game line. Sometimes that means a dataslate, sometimes that means a painting guide, sometimes it's a wallpaper bundle or a special mission. So far we've had two Dark Angels dataslates and one for Crimson Slaughter, plus all three Leviathan Rising in a collection for Tyranids. I've heard rumor (solely rumor) that the Grey Knights day might bring back Mordrak and his Ghost Knights, which seems like a rad idea but will most likely be underwhelming.

Yessss, more of these guys  Keep up the good work, everything's looking great so far.WhiteOutMouse posted:There were not many.

It could get pretty pricy, but Ezekiel and two librarians isn't too bad. Unfortunately, the main detachment would still need another HQ.

My old Prime used those legs to differentiate itself from the others (along with a bulkier torso thanks to some greenstuffing). I can't seem to find a picture of it on the internet (last time I posted it was in like 2010 or something on EoW (  ).

You only need one model with the Possession Malefic power to turn all of the librarians into greater daemons.

I don't have my Necrons book in front of me but would Destruction Crypteks count as Crypteks for the purposes of the C'Tan formation? Would be pretty cool to poo poo out a couple S8 AP2 shots every turn.

You pay points for the "type" which pretty much just switches your weapon and gives you options on what to buy. EDIT: Unless the formation limits the type, I guess.

It does not. Taking a Harbinger of Eternity with Chronometron for one of them would be very wise, since that gives you a reroll per turn to keep the squad alive.

If I had two Overlords and two separate Royal Courts then, I can take two Chronometrons and re-roll two dice per turn? That seems pretty decent. Edit: and a Timesplinter Cloak too why not for a 3++? If I'm going nuts on some dumb formation I may as well go whole hog.

Keep in mind a new cron codex is imminent. So crypteks may operate differently or be simplified. My guess is they'll become a HQ slot like pain boys and sanguinary priests.

I misread that as "Hamburger of Eternity" and now I want some fluff. In honor of Hollismason, I submit we replace "drinking the kool-aid" with "eating the gumbo" when referring to 40k/GW.

I doubt they'll move Crypteks to a HQ slot unless they see a significant buff in stats or abilities. I'm more curious what the actual Warlords trait and new detachment will be. Although I can't really think of a detachment that would fit the Necrons. I think it's maybe likely we'll see flayed ones moved to troops as they really are not a elite choice. The current detachment is for a specific dynasty and if the last few books have been a indication Necrons will get one or two specialized detachment types.

If the 7th ed codicies we've seen are anything to go by nothing new will become troops. hell it's more likely for Immortals to get moved back to elites before flayed ones become troops.

I doubt either will happen. They like to give every faction at least two choices in the troops slot. Sisters are the only exception. I'm interested to see what they do with crypteks. I suspect they will get random powers now.

I could see Flayed ones becoming troops and Immortals becoming Elites, they don't really make any sense where they are now but that's never been a indication of things. I'm curious if we'll get multiple Dynasties but I feel like we're going to only get the Mephrit and the "normal". So really it's a issue of what normal is. I could also see Scarabs moved to troops. Things I predict Nerfs Mindshackle Scarabs Scythe - moved to unwieldy Tesla moved to non snap shots Nightscythes Doomscythes Annihilation Barges Catacomb command barges Buffs Flayed Ones Guard Jetbike dudes , similar to the Reavers from Dark Eldar, i could see these moved to a 10 max squad size. C'Tan moved to lord of war and improved I think these are safe bets. Superexcited Regardless, Blood Angels release was great, so maybe Necrons will get the same treatment with lots of Formations and Detachment types. Regardless super happy so for with my Necron purchases, I only have about 2200 to 2700, but I am ordering a airbrush which I think will give me the ability to paint them the colour I want which is kind of a IPOD white.

This would be a prime time for GW to release a new C'tan model that isn't the Deceiver, Nightbringer or the Transcendent. Which will probably mean no new C'tan model in 2015.

I think it's a safe bet that Necrons will get the GK treatment; Some tweaks but nothing in the way of new kits.They got so many new models after their last codex release which really wasn't that long ago (Nov 2011).

Well we know for at least their getting the new Necron Lord as that's been heavily featured and possibly a new Warrior box with different bases, but honestly , the models really don't need new models. The entire line is really close to just well excellent. As is the Codex.
