JackMack posted:That's interesting to hear. I was looking at them a lot when I was considering cutting their legs and torsos with forgeworld 30k marines to make it cheaper, have you ever used the normal armour? I have one of their torsos, a power plant, their combi-weapon, several bionic arms, and a set of 5 Medieval legs. I've not glued the torso or legs to anything yet, but they all slot together with space marine bits very well. The legs do look 'off' compared to normal SM legs, but the torso and arms are perfectly fine when mixed with GW stuff.

I mean, I love the plastic kit, but the 2nd edition ones are just so charming and weird. I'd love to see what an updated version would look like.

I don't know poo poo about Tyranids, but that list owns because it looks like the guy threw it together in Notepad while hungover the morning of the tournament, and just like forgot to take any wargear before he mashed "print" and folded the thing up to jam in his pocket before slumping over to the local Waffle House to recover. Seeing it compared to the BattleScribe list is just amazing, and could only be more perfect if the SM dude had like made up custom names for his units or something.

I'm curious exactly how the Lictors played, as they're generally pretty fragile.

I'd like to shape my Space Hulk Genestealers into a Kill Team. Does anyone have any suggestions about what upgrades are more or less lovely? Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs seem pretty unnecessary in this format, but I'm hemming and hawing over Scything Talons and the Broodlord.

A Broodlord is a solid choice, as it can use its Psychic power to knock out a gun-toting model for a turn and make it easier to assault. Ultimately for Kill Team any upgrades you put into Genestealers are going to be a waste, simply because that means you're taking far heavier losses when they get shot. For Tyranids in Kill Team body-count is about the only advantage you've got.

I'm curious exactly how the Lictors played, as they're generally pretty fragile. The two finalist actually played each other in the first round of the tournament with the SM/BA player winning that match then the Tyranid player dominated the tournament and made it all the way back to the top table which is also a pretty amazing thing to do. I watched the last game on their Twitch channel it was actually really close, they'll be posting the last game soon as they had it recorded. It started off really strong in favour of the SM/BA player because he used the Centurionstar for board control , the scouts all outflanked and then came on one board edge together then went for the objectives for the Primary. It wasn't a sweep at all until toward the last turn where the Tyranid player just pummeled him into submission with Mawloc blasts and shooting. It was actually a good game for the first few turns but then the Tyranid player completely dominated him in the last turn. I think he almost tabled him. If it would have went to the 6th turn he would have. Tyranid guy was just a legitimately super strong player and that army is really good.It helps also if you notice he has a lot of mucolid spores to take up points in the troops because their ridiculously cheap.

They have video of all the top table matches from what I understand and will be posting them later in the week. I think being beaten by the SM/BA player in the previous round gave the Tyranid player a bit of a edge because toward the end he just took apart his army piece by piece. Like the whole game it's SM/BA lead then last turn , Tyranid player wins.

I must say, the winning Tyranid list is completely different than I was expecting. It seems like the kind of list where any old schlub couldn't just use it and expect to dominate. It would have to be used in just the right way. There has been a lot of complaining in the last couple years about how imbanced the game is now, but look at the LVO standings. There's a lot of variety in the entire standings and just as much in the top 20. I'm really interested to see what Adepticon brings. I actually do think 40k is moving in a good direction.

So I mentioned earlier that my crew is going to be running a yearlong 40k map-based campaign, and I thought I'd share the rules we're using. This is Corvanus Prime, the planet we're fighting over. It's a hive world in the Obscurus Sector not far from the Eye of Terror. It's got a lot of precious mining materials and fossil fuels.  When we were coming up with the rules for our campaign, we had to make sure it would be accessible to the new players in our group, so we decided to cut down on bookkeeping in a couple of ways: - Armies collect a pool of XP based on what they kill. XP from the pool can be allocated however you want. - Strategem cards. Rather than have a bunch of poo poo on how this territory does X and having that one does Y, we just decided to make a big deck of cool-rear end cards with useful, but marginal, effects. Every turn you get one of these, plus you draw another one whenever you capture a territory. This helps provide a reward for winning, while also making it so the winner of the first few rounds doesn't steamroll the poo poo out of everyone afterward. These can be one-use, or having ongoing effects. A few examples:     There are also some faction-specific cards. I've covered every faction except for Imperial Guard and Daemons (neither of which are in our campaign), but I'll get to them eventually. I'm going to bring my Iron Warriors, just because they're already available for me to use where we'll be gaming. If you'd like to see the rules we're using for the campaign, you can find them here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZtB3meKOs4fuEFsvz8uKkaeUm8VM6fI2bmIWdTtE5BE/edit?usp=sharing And if you'd like to download a set of the cards in printable sheets, you can find those here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ffmptpgh5cviy1/Campaign_Cards_20150222.rar?dl=0 Anyways, let me know what you think, and if you use the rules with your crew, how they work out--we're interested in getting feedback from people who have tried them out. Also if you have cool card ideas, feel free to share them. The basic idea with the faction-specific cards is that you shuffle them in before a player with that faction draws a card, then remove them after so someone can't get another faction's cards. ANAmal.net and I will probably post updates as the campaign goes on.

Looking through the top armies and lists, the distribution is really varied. I know nothing about the format or what kinds of games they played, but that's really cool. Middle tier seems to be dominated by the stuff we regularly complain about- wave serpents, imperial knights, etc. Seems like the top armies are much less of a single gimmick though- just a strong flexible army lead by a really good player. I'm surprised in a good way.
