I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

Got the new BA tactical squad as a gift, it's a really nice kit. Only came with 9 32mm bases though, so I'll have to email GW about that.

If only any Space Marines had defected during the 10,000 years since the Horus Heresy, they might have brought some Razorbacks with them :smith:

Or remembered to keep putting Heavy Bolters and Heavy Flamers on top of their Rhinos like they did back in the Heresy. Or, you know, got any transport option that was at all useful for an army full of crazed close combat maniacs.

You could also probably do Blood Ravens and then run whatever marine dex takes your fancy.

yeah but dont do this

you can do the SM trick with lamenters in a fluffy way, they were thought to be immune to the black rage until after the badab wars. so you can run your dudes as blood angels or sm and then you can lecture your dumb friends about fluff while taking some bullshit list.

I played against a guy a a tournament who was surprised my Ultras were Ultras instead of something else. He has Blood Angels that use Ultramarines or White Scars rules. The daggers I stared at him could cut diamonds.

He would have tabled me but at the end of turn 5 I still had two tactical Marines in melee with his Crisis Suits.

I've honestly never had anyone give me poo poo when I want to run my ultramarines as another chapter tactics (provided I'm not using one of the characters), as long as I describe what they do before we start. And then you can always call your ultramarines alpha legion and goons will find it hilarious.

It's more that the dude was incredulous that I'd actually run my army using the rules they're supposed to have. While he was a friendly enough guy, it wasn't a game so much as a five turn exercise in taking my models off the table. I know it was a tournament, but it was the kind of vibe where people brought fluffy Chaos Marines, Space Wolf dreadnought lists, Forgeworld units and the like. It was just a weirdly out of place mindset, player, and army.

How. How can there not be Aspect Warriors or Jetbikes.

(Still, :gizz:)

In other news, after giving a prospective wish list which had a lot of Warhammer to my girlfriend for Christmas who then passed that on to my sister who confirmed that neither of them was going to buy this poo poo for me, my ma received the list and promptly bought two Hornets. Moms :)

My girlfriend got me a flannel and some shirts for Christmas and my mom got me a radio for work. At least you got Warhams.

I guess I'll just have to buy myself a Riptide to celebrate.

edit: i'm not reading this entire loving dakka thread, can a crisis suit buy two individual weapons without twin-linking them (ie two solo flamers instead of having to twinlink it)?

edit2: i read the thread. i'm sad that happened, but at least i know the answer.

I don't know what you're talking about. GW released a beautiful new Eldar jetbike back in 2010 that I've built nearly twenty of and been extremely happy with. I guess they also released some other codex and models around the same date that were called like "Shadow Elfs" or something but I didn't really pay any attention to that.

I'm looking into getting a Stormtalon but I just can't stand the way it looks. Is there anywhere that offers a conversion kit to make it a little more like an actual plane, or does everyone just improvise their own conversions?

Why would you want an imperial flyer to actually look like it could fly. That there is heresy.

Extend the tail and make some bigger engines to make it look like an Orca Fighter from C&C maybe?
Whenever I look at a Stormtalon I keep seeing it as a stunted Orca at least.

Are you suggesting tampering with the anointed & holy STC design of the mighty Stormtalon?

I love it, but I seem to be in a bit of a minority online. Stubby but fierce.


EDIT: Fifth battle in the campaign me + my friends are running is up!

This time its a large Spaceport battle with some sweet laser cut terrain. Bit one sided, but we didn't know it would be! Enjoy.

Got two BA Tactical Marine Boxes for Christmas from my brother who I bought a Riptide for, so more or less bought myself two BA Tac squads. If I had three Storm Ravens I might try out some Angels Fury Spearhead bullshit, but that's a lot of dough to drop.

As far as Blood Angel's players go have you had any bit of success with the WD Data Sheets or Exterminatus Sheets? Looking at trying a list with the DC heavy Strike Force Mortalis with Archangels Sanguine Wing where the VV's get free lightning claws or power weapons while Sternguard gets free storm bolters or combi weapons.

I moved the engines back a little, and it made the whole thing seem much more like a flyer, while still keeping the Imperium's design motto of the triumph of thrust over gravity.







EDIT: You can't really see it in the pictures, but the mount where the engines are supposed to go have all their recesses painted a swirly-white blue pattern, like it's the reactor housing or something. Also, I brought in the assault cannon by a good .25" as well, streamlined the whole thing even more.

That looks so much better. How'd you mount the engines, anyway? Looks like you used some sort of plastic square thing to get them attached to the back end there.
