DJ Dizzy posted:Painboy, pole 55 I ran a similar list once that got smashed by a squad of fortuned striking scorpions. Every turn the Exarch would kill my nob before he could sing and the rest of my attacks bounced off. I had three units of big gunz with a screen of grotz and the rest was Boyz. It was too immobile, I couldn't close the gap to the wave serpents so couldn't stop them shooting the crap out of me. This let the scorpions hit units at will. 90+ Orks taken out by >10 models (I managed to shoot them before the first assault and got 1. I killed another 2 with shooting (AP3 Kannons) after they won the first assault and I think in 4 assaults I killed another 3 in combat. I managed to swing once with a power klaw after I multi-assaulted with a unit of Boyz and a unit of Grotz. gently caress striking scorpions and gently caress fortune.

Did the new Necron and Harlequin codexes add any new/fun fluff? I got the impression that they deemphasized some of the Grey Knights' unpopular 6th edition wackiness, so I'm curious if they did anything to un-squat the C'tan.

A Fancy Bloke posted:Honestly as long as they are painted how would anyone even know Weight is the only real indicator after they're painted. Most recasters use resin exclusively (some use pot metal instead of pewter for models that were originally pewter) so stuff that's supposed to be plastic/Finecast may be heavier and stuff that should be pewter will be lighter. Bigger stuff like titans might be heavier because some recasters reinforce some parts during the casting process but who the hell knows how much a Heirophant weighs in hand?

Hummmm.... hold up there, that resin spear doesn't look warped enough to be finecast. Before we play, we must weigh our models on this convenient skull shaped (and GW approved) micro scale just to be sure all our models are 100% GW compatible. Remember- if you're not using official GW approved resin within + or - several ounces of tolerance you are supporting heresy!

Boon posted:That honestly sounds like the best game It was fun. We rolled kill points and I thought I could swing it, but I made a crucial mistake in positioning. I had shootaboyz and stood 16" away thinking that the Scorpions wouldn't make the charge. They did. That let them swallow a second unit and it was downhill from there. Scorpions are scary quick. A crappy phone photograph of the tide. There is a warphead in there and a Shokk Attack Gun. Both did pretty well. I had some Deffkoptas that didn't do too much. A battle that showed how soft Boyz are without a Klaw to throw in a few kills.  Yes, that is a book for terrain. PeterWeller posted:Blowing through hordes is exactly what scorpions are designed to do. Thankfully for the greentide fortune is not a gimme any more. It was brutal watching so many Boyz melt and felling so few in return. The guy had two fire-prisms, 3 serpents and 3 scatter-laser warwalkers so put out a fair amount of firepower which softened my numbers. Rather than swoop in to finish a unit off though, the Scorpions straight up ran in and laid waste Beserker style. A Warboss with a Klaw would have put a stop to those shenanigans.

I had to take second place today in a three-player game after noted despicable Eldar haver Hixson turbo-boosted his remaining two units to contest my objectives on the last turn. He has to call me Warmaster because of a bet he lost from like two years ago so I'm going to bring that up at his wedding.

No new especially note worthy C'tan fluff in the newest Necdex. Nightbringer was mentioned to be a shard that many lords are hesitant to use because even in his shattered state he's the most furious of the C'tan about the Necron betrayal. That's about all I remember.

On the other hand C'tan only move 6", will get bad powers as often as good ones, and have bad saves. They're probably one of the few units I'd say are genuinely bad in this edition. If you got to roll the powers before selecting their target they'd be way better.

If you got to roll the powers before selecting their target they'd be way better. It's true, they are still far too vulnerable to shooting and they can only fire one weapon a turn. My regular opponent is far more intimidated by a squad of 3 Canoptek Wraiths than he is a C'Tan Shard.

If you're playing Imperial Fists, Heavy Bolters can be an amusing thing to play around with-they throw out a LOT of shots from a squad and can chew up light infantry surprisingly well. A mix squads with Lascannons and HBs can give you a decent balance of firepower; mix in a Thunderfire Cannon or two and you're handling a lot of bases pretty well (and making some good cover for the Devs to sit in as well.) They're also useful for Leman Russes and SoB Retributors, if you happen to have either of those in need of parts.

The Flying Tyrant is really, really good, one of the best units in the game right now when equipped properly. The Crone (and Harpy, built from the same kit) is decent by virtue of being a FMC that likes to shoot rather than assault, but it's no great shakes. Flyrants have been pretty good for a long time now (since 4E, basically) so I would default to that, but it's not like the Crone is total garbage or anything.

Crones are pretty reasonable, or so I've heard, and I believe flying Hive Tyrants (with Twin-Linked Devourers) are considered one of, if not the, best unit in the codex. I don't think you'd be going wrong with either of them.

Has anyone played with a tyrant's legion list? I'm not sure what they're particularly strong at or whats a good list for them, but I do enjoy the idea of space marines taking cover behind a bunch of conscripts and or throwing them in the way of bullets. I'm thinking a good list for them would be: Lugft Huron, glorious leader of Badab A centurion (i'm not sure if lugft fills this role or not) solely because it is compulsory 2 squads of 40 man conscript blobs with 4 flamers each 2 squads of 20 man space marine squads with 4 plasma guns each combat squad-ed so eight squads here, if my reading of the rules is correct 2 squads of 3 rapier laser destroyer batteries and a techmarine with thunderfire cannon Thoughts? Also is there even a point to taking retaliator squads?

Far better than the doomsayers who claim Nids are awful. Tyrannocytes aren't as big a game changer as you'd think, but it's a nice option and for fun games it makes a huge difference. The big change for the competitive players was Leviathan opening up 3 HQ slots and 15pt Troop units.
