In the market for two Stormravens, but really like the Forgeworld Fire Raptor and Storm Eagle models as far as their aircraft goes when it comes to looks. Would proxing a Fire Raptor/ Storm Eagle be to weird model dimension wise and would the Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle be closer to the actual Storm Raven equivalent?

Making progress on my table - pieces are complete and I got a good deal on a 72" x 30" flip out table so I went with that. The whole thing is lightweight, breaks down nice and easy to set up. The Frontline mat arrived today but the front office is closed so I'll get that tomorrow. In the mean time I've been prepping more terrain to fill the board.  The craters still need to be snow-flocked (where the white is). On deck, I have one bombed out single story plaza like structure, and a two story medium sized bombed out building. I've already completed a single-story medium building, two large hills, and two forests. Boon fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Dec 31, 2014 |

Fire Raptor and Storm Eagle use a very similar chasis to the Storm Raven, and in fact share the same basic plastic kit. The only big difference is in length, where the Raptor/Eagle is rather longer than the Raven, and the back end is slightly larger as well. This guy shows off a side-by-side comparison between the Raptor and Raven. If you enjoy doing conversions (and who doesn't?), you could probably extend the Stormraven's hull out with some plasticard and judicious use of bits.

REAL MUSCLE MILK posted:So, I'm working on my AdMech list. Drop the cortex controller from your Prime and give him a cyber familiar instead. He needs to fly around with the thallax and murder things with this AP2 and BS5, so give him a jet pack so he can join one of the thallax squads. I'd make it 6 strong so you can pack in an additional photon thruster. Drop the stave too. I'm also not sure you should be putting Thallax into the Triarios. They already move really fast AND have deep strike. Up to you though. Also consider taking a few servo skull dudes on the Magos to fly around and reduce cover saves + give your units interceptor and +1BS. To deal with heavy armor you need to use angry tractors for their 4 shot S8 AP2 guns. They are AV14 up front so they are really survivable. 2 in a squadron will hurt super heavies. Your other option is to take a Knight, which is your lord of war choice and is very effective in melee. Last, I am a huge fan of darkfire cannons on castellax. I would drop the power blades on the two independent ones and give them darkfires. As for the squad of 3, I'd consider keeping the mauler bolt canons, as they will allow you kill a lot of marines every turn and your list doesn't have a lot of quantity shooting anywhere.

I'm pretty meh about the Darkfire. S6 isn't really that amazing, and while Gets Hot isn't likely to hurt you, against most vehicles it's not going to do much to them, either. I'd much rather have a BS5 Multimelta that reduces cover or even just a Mauler for the pinning and three shots. Also Krios Venator's are loving murder to anything with an armor value. S9 Ordnance four shots will just destroy most anything you point them at.

I'll have to play around and see if that feels worth the change overall, though I tend to use my Thrallax for anti-tank shooting. S7 Rending and Relentless Multimeltas, all with Tank Hunter, are fairly badass.

I spent my holiday slamming ham with my chill ham bros. Took photos of the first game- a free for all between Panascope (Necrons), Stanyer69 (Dark Angels + Blood Angels + Rainbow Coalition), and myself (Iron Warriors + Admech). Panascope won handily while Stanyer and I tied for second. Lots of proxies, but some nice shots of the action with all our mostly painted toys.            I also worked on my evil admech robits. As much as I love them, however, they are a bitch to put together. In order to get a semi-dynamic pose you have to pin absolutely everything. The arms are really non intuitive as well and I was scratching my head on what exactly they were thinking modeling them this way. That said, I really am proud at how this guy is coming together. I'm going to have 3 including a paragon of metal (covered in oaths of moment):  ...entirely magnetized of course. Gonna give him some sweet evil looking claws instead of chainsaw blades too:  AbusePuppy posted:I'm pretty meh about the Darkfire.

I'd much rather have a BS5 Multimelta that reduces cover or even just a Mauler for the pinning and three shots. It's S7, lance, 48" range, AP2, shoots twice, and has blind. With a space wizard it can even shoot 4 times. I use them in my list as MC hunters, which Castellax want to do anyway. A gun that puts wounds on a Carnefex from a distance or shuts down the shooting of a riptide once or twice a game is drat handy. A really mean build I've been thinking about is pairing up a few darkellax with a monster/tank hunter archmagos. This will let them do very mean things to vehicles or MCs. Agreed on the Venator. It's really good if you are playing pure Admech, but Thudd Guns are actually better + cheaper if you ally in a legion

I don't post my space barbies nearly as often as I should, but I decided to document my humble group of Relictors. Here are all the tacticals, reminding me it's time to build a second sergeant.   Here are my Deathwatch (counts as Sternguard). I've tried to make everyone look distinct beyond having just a different colored shoulder pad. I hope it's apparent which chapter each one is from.   Here are my HQ dudes, a Librarian, a Chaplain and three Honour Guards. Being Relictors, I've added some Chaos bits to the Honour Guard. In addition to the obviously Chaotic banner, the power sword is from CSM Champion and the power axe is Black Templar axe chopped down to look more Chaotic.  Here are the tanks, the Razorback was an experiment in battle damage and the Predator was an experiment in weathering. These are like the third and fourth tanks I have ever painted so suggestions on how to improve are welcome.

Lord Hypnostache posted:*snip* These look great! With the tanks, I found a simple but effective way to improve them is edge highlighting with a slightly lighter colour than the base - maybe Dawnstone for you? There are a lot of sharp, polygonal edges on a marine vehicle, and its very simple to give the model some depth with that technique.

I could probably squeeze in some servo skulls to roll with the Thallax squads and give BS on demand. I don't think the Triaros will actually transport the Thallax, but I find the Triaros to be an acceptable anti-infantry platform on it's own, so I'm paying to bring them anyway. I may trade it around and take MM on the solo Castellax and bolters in the group, but I'm not absolutely sold on darkfires vs mm.

It's more or less what I have now. I can get whatever, honestly, I was just avoiding the Myrmidons for thematic reasons. I'll run them in a few games, they're a solid unit but I'm not convinced they're solid enough to hang around for long and might be too tempting a squishy target in a list that's otherwise pretty beefy.

Since Ork Posting seems to be the in thing currently, I took some new pics of the boyz. No overall shot cause it'd be a pain remembering where everything goes back in the cases! (and my table isn't big enough). Wargamma      Battlewagons with swappable Deathrolla (to never be used again) and Weirdboy Tower. Plus a Gunwagon (needs a selection of big guns).         Big Meks with assorted gear. Lotsa Shokk Attack guns (I'm a fan of the old Shokk Attack Battery Apoc formation).    Biker Big Mek, my old counts as Wazdakka. Plus a bunch of bikers.   Big Squiggoth, likes to stomp things.    Zagstruk and his Stormboy buddies.      Flying Brigade - Burna Bomma & Dakkajet plus Deffkoptas. The former Kindly provided by fellow goon Lethemonster and is the best painted thing in the army.    Burna Boyz and their 2 Meks, Kommandos and their new buddy.      Dreads and Kans.       Mega and Meka Dreads. The latter has magnetic guns so it can switch out.      Grots, Snots (SAG ammo!) and Slavers, Lobbas and Crew.     Lootas, Tankbustas and Spanner Boys.      Nobs, Painboys and my fave squad, Boss Droog's Madboyz.   Shoota boyz, bringing the dakka. I need to get more of them painted!      Trukks, most often assigned to appropriately coloured boyz squads.      Assorted flavours of Slugga Boyz.        Warbosses, again I need more of these guys. Chariot is a Biker boss until I get around to making up some house rules.    Time for brain magic, it's the Weirdboyz.         And finally the big guys, Stompas ahoy! First one's my ancient scratchbuild and in major need of repairs. Have an Orky New Year everyone!

ProfessorCurly posted:Here is some old school vs new school warhams. Apocalypse using the house rules (write each unit you have down on a card, which gets shuffled into a deck along with everyone else's units. The unit goes when its card is drawn), 4000pts each. My dad and I went expecting other people, but everyone else flaked so I suggested we do something different. That's the best idea I've heard for moving an Apocalypse game along. Each side's turn goes on for so damned long you may as well leave to go make a sandwich. Normally, everyone should be present for dice rolls to prevent shady rerolls but in Apocalypse I just yell across the room, "Go ahead, just make the fiftieth dice roll without me!" Reminds me a bit of the activation system from Rebellion.

Since we're doing the whole "army shots" thing, here's what I'm taking to an Apoc game this weekend: The 59th Armageddon, Beta Company!  Major Zdarsky's Command squad, 3rd Sentinel Squad, Shadowsword Steel Spectre.  1st platoon, MBT, Vanquisher, Vendetta, Quad-Gun and shields.  2nd platoon, MBT, Demolisher, Vendetta, Adeptus Trashcanicus comms relay, shields. Comes in at 3120 points (everyone's supposed to have 3000, but not everyone can cover so I "borrowed" and extra 120). EDIT - Gosh darn it, BuffChick. Will you and your brother please get jobs in DC or something so we can ham it up? The Sex Cannon fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Dec 31, 2014 |
