30k sounds super cool, Mechanicus sounds super cool, my girlfriend is going to hate me and it's all your guy's fault. e: Do I need both 30k books or just the relevant one? e2: What's a decent selection of units that I can start an army with? I want to know the price point I'll be looking at and how long I'll be saving. Drythe fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jan 6, 2015 |

Sulecrist posted:Play It Painted 2015. This has been my rule for the past two years and it makes a huge difference. I currently think about the models I have in terms of what's painted. Also it's rad seeing a painted army come together--the hardest part is getting through the 2 Troops and 1 HQ choice, but once you have those out of the way, it's a much more pleasurable experience. Related note: I am currently painting the sorcerer. Will be done by Friday. Something that helps, by the way--Paint, then assemble! You can't play with an unassembled model either and models look better when you can easily paint the whole thing.

All this base fuckery makes me feel better about taking my 2nd Ed Tyranids out on their square bases. Though I'm dreading the inevitable accusations of using them to game LoS advantage.

Slimnoid posted:With termies it made sense that they went to 40mm because that was when the new (at the time) plastic kit came out, and their foot span was more than a 25mm could really handle realistically. Dreads going to 60mm rounds was more a general streamlining because EVERYTHING in 40k uses rounded bases--even bikes eventually got them, though GW had an article way back when on how to make cavalry bases with rounded ends. Yeah, my problem with it is that instead of simply saying what they're doing, they're leaving a grey area as to what base models should be on. And there really should not be any grey area in the correct way to build their kits so that they work within the rules. The basing guidance on page 9 of the rulebook doesn't cover what they are doing here. Well, no, it actually does, but the GW published army pictures are contradicting it.

I can't get behind painting them assembling; I did it for my Orks back when and was not a fan. I do think that assembling one unit, then painting that unit is the way to go though. When you've got 80 Guardsmen staring at you from your painting table, it's intimidating, and even if you paint 10, that looks like a drop in the bucket. Your stuff owns though, so I can't fault your methods! Ignite Memories posted:Do tauroxes more closely resemble the ork trukk or the ork battlewagon in profile? Something about those proportions just grips me as orky.

We're people really surprised by that? The new edition seemed firmly in the camp of no more FoC shenanigans in favor of different force charts with different allocations. Like the blood angel FoC with tons of elite choices in place of troops. I'm sure when Dark Angels get redone there will be FoC's with 6 elite or fast attack choices instead of taking terms or bikes as troops.

I got a couple of scatter blocks from Zinge as freebies for a kickstarter they did the casting on, they're really not that bad. Also the Victoria kit is 4 wheels as well http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/apc-wheel-and-suspension-kit

It wasn't "shenanigans", though, like taking a warboss to make a unit of nobz troops. They just HAD troops with assault packs, and now they don't.

I wouldn't be surprised if they get the inverse of BA--bikes and termies becoming troops, rather than alternate FoC's. It'd certainly solve some problems that the SM book doesn't have. Total pipe dream though. I wish he was easier to mod because drat I'd love to use him as an Inquisitor.

How do people feel about the ramshackle half-ute? I was thinking if I added a gun[ner?] on top and extended the rear cab vertically it would be a pretty similar profile to the ork trukk. Of course I'd also need to bash it up a little and add teeth how you do.

Forgeworld continues to be rad. In IA:13, the Greater Brass Scorpion is technically only available to CSM. This is a big change, since you could previously take them as a Lord of War for Chaos Daemons as well. I shot off an email about it, and got a response today -Some cool dude posted:Thank you for your email. The Great Brass Scorpion should also have the Chaos Daemon Stamp as well. (It is a poor dream, since I know some goddamn Knight is going to wander over and smack it with a proper Destroyer hit, negating my planned 2++ before I even swing.)

AbusePuppy posted:Hmm. Magos Dominus, an Adsecularis Covenant with the fixin's, a unit of three Thrallax, a unit of two Castellax with a few toys, and a Thanatar leaves you ~400pts to play with. That could get you several more big scary robots, more Thrallax or some Myrmidons for firepower, a crapload more expendable chumps, some angry tractors to shoot lasers at enemy tanks, and/or upgrade your Magos to a Magos Prime and give him some cool toys. If you really wanna push the big robits theme, you could take the named character robit HQ, who is actually pretty scary. Basically, pick any two of those (or pick one and double down on it) and you'd be pretty close to having a 1250 army. Angry Tractors sound great, what are they?

All of mankind's war machines are based on farm equipmentDrythe posted:30k sounds super cool, Mechanicus sounds super cool, my girlfriend is going to hate me and it's all your guy's fault. Just get the pack of 2 little red books, or if you wanna save money, just the crusade army list (cheaper than a 40K codex at $45)- one has the army list and unit options while the other has all the legion rules so far. The big books are amazing, but you need all 3 for a complete list. So unless you are gay for fluff spend that money on your army instead. What you need to get started:
All of that you can do with regular old 40k marines, conversions, or bits on ebay. If you go hog wild with forgeworld kits it will cost a lot more. I suggest you get the books, plan our your army, and then decide what you want to buy. There's a ton of options which will dictate what you need. For example, you could totally just rock 1 hq and 2 x5 man tactical squads. That's right, a legal army of 11 models.
