You can get a 7th Ed. mini rulebook for around $25 on eBay.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Actually, unless there are multiple wings in the kit, the wings looks amazing on the other side. All sorts of ruinous power scarification. I like those wings, and the whole model. I'm disappointed it's coming out right after Bones II came in with a pretty awesome bloodthirster proxy, but them's the breaks. Omar al-Bishie posted:so is there an affordable way to get my hands on 7 Ed rules? I bought the starter kit years ago and it came with a little book. There are three versions of the 7e rules minibooks; one in the repackaged Dark Vengeance starter set, and one in each of the newer campaign sets. If you ask around locally, there's likely someone who has more than one of the mini books and would be willing to sell them cheaply, or you can check ebay but they might be more expensive than you'd like there.

Take Hercules, the Masterpiece Devastator 3rd party combiner(before the newly-announced Hasbro Titan-Class Devastator was revealed). $400. Some folks think that's too much for a toy, so there's a knockoff that's serviceable that's $60. Original  KO  I'd take the slight quality hit in exchange for the far cheaper price, pretty much every time. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Mar 1, 2015 |

panascope posted:Playing new Necrons some more, I can't help but feel big blocks of warriors are a bit of a trap if you aren't running a Decurion. You pretty much auto-lose combat even to junk like Assault Marines unless you heavily invest in a baller HQ unit/end up with Zealot as a warlord trait. Wraiths are bangin though, bring more Wraiths. Necrons have great counter chargers in wraiths, lynchguard, and praetorians (now that the later are cheaper). At least warriors get the Reanimation Protocols before the checks for the leadership. A destroyer lord for preferred enemy and assault defense might help as well.

Captain Invictus posted:It's simple, really. I'm not asking for knockoff contact information here, incidentally, I was just curious if GW had eradicated them in the few years I stopped paying attention to Warhammer since around that time there had just started to pop up a ton of dudes replicating the Forgeworld Dreadnoughts for like 25 bucks each. Short answer no, it's an entire industry now

Omar al-Bishie posted:so is there an affordable way to get my hands on 7 Ed rules? I bought the starter kit years ago and it came with a little book. Buy a tablet, download every PDF in the world. I've already shelled out a significant amount of money for models, paints, etc. I feel zero sympathy for downloading the rulebooks for armies I don't even own, I already own hard copies of the Rulebook(and the 2 others from the set) and the Space Marine Codex. I understand companies need to make money and such, and I will continue to buy a vast majority of models new and directly from them, that being said...if a model appears on Ebay, reasonably priced, and fully-painted I could care less where it originally came from. Heck, I am already so lost to this game after starting 7 months ago, that I own an Inquisition Dice Bag and a Servo-Skull tape measure...KILL ME! Ettin posted:SA is not really the forum for discussing how to make knockoffs anyway I am not really curious because I want an avenue to buy cheap stuff, but because these models are so highly detailed it seems like a shitload of effort goes into making the molds(or whatever is used) and aside from stealing them from the company or having some process that allows you make one using existing models, it seems like it would take a lot of work. That, or require a large infrastructure, I have no clue how big the machinery is that even creates these things.

I got given (well, sold for a couple of beers) a recast of an Eldar Lynx Superheavy - it's actually better quality than the other Forgeworld stuff I have (being cast in heavier resin with no bubbles, but more cancer probably) - and the only way you could tell it's not an original is: it's heavier to pick up, and the canopy was opaque. So, whenever I see models with the clear-bits painted solid, I automatically think 'That's a fake'

I literally don't care as long as it's cheaper and of decent quality whether it's an official product or not especially since I consider GW a horrible company and do not want to give them a single cent ever again for their miniatures. edit: this does not mean I do not like their models or fluff or artwork or games.

Captain Invictus posted:Haha, I actually think you were the one to get into this moralistic stupidity literally years ago last time I saw it brought up. I've only given a poo poo about Warhammer for like 2 years, so that's pretty unlikely. Agree to disagree, different strokes, we're unlikely to change each other's stance. Hra Mormo posted:Is this referring to GW or Recasters/people who buy from recasters as the stealing party? Or is that the joke? WH40k is pretty much an amalgamation of various bullshit old science fiction stuff, yes, but that's the difference between the companies who make not-40k stuff and the people who literally reproduce 40k figures.

Got my first game of 7th ed. in today; first game in over two years. Question: Flyer gets crew stunned by a LR Vanquisher (I know) 18" right in front of it. Does it wreck next turn, or does crew stunned mean it has to go at least 18" but can go more? Also: Any good non-GW source for terrain?

Lord Twisted posted:Like all good things people got greedy. Reddit had a loving subreddit devoted to knockoffs, GW legal camped it out and took down most of the decent casters. A guy called War Dream was doing perfect quality stuff only to have people blab around his contact info. I was pissed some rear end in a top hat posted all his info on reddit. Way to ruin it for everyone. They're all still around though, just different names and they're basically all subscription email based. As long GW charges $116 USD for a plastic model, they'll never go away. BULBASAUR fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Mar 1, 2015 |

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Got my first game of 7th ed. in today; first game in over two years. By reading the rule, it seems like it would just move 18inches and therefor wreck for being to close to an enemy model. The whole thing about their base having to be 1 inch away from enemy models is kind of retarded TBH. It makes no sense to me, and a couple paragraphs below it talks about how ramming vehicles are automatically moved to be an inch away from flyer bases.

That WarDream drama was unreal. Nerds, man. I can't imagine the recasters will ever go away, even if GW somehow burned all their own manufacturing to the ground and salted the (40K) earth tomorrow. Frankly, I'm really wondering how much this rumored 'Limited Edition Units' thing for Fantasy is going to increase their business.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to hearing this from literally every person I'll be playing with for however long the Seahawks are good. One of the downsides of living here I suppose. Anyway, I'm glad some of you like the painting, sorry that some of you don't! For what it's worth, I don't like the base or tabard either, but I do like the color scheme vOv LordAba posted:Gale force 9 terrain is super sexy. Grey prepaint, SUPER solid, good value. Awesome. Battlefield in a box ruins are indeed fantastic pieces of work. So far I've been content to leave them with the grey pre-painting, but I've seen some examples of additional work on them that were just stunning.

Gonna try it out on just 2 players, but it should work for however many. I'm thinking something a bit more like Necromunda, so instead of an actual map you'd own territories that do stuff and the missions could involve chances to attack them somehow. Of course. I wouldn't have posted it if it weren't OK to use. Have fun!
