Did I ever tell you my favorite color was blue?
So I've been reading up on other codices, and I came across a few items.

First off, in the Ork Codex it mentions if you take the Ork Warband formation you can use the Waaagh special rule every turn after the first, which seems insanely broken. Also, does this combine with Gazghkull's special power to get a 2+ invul on the turn a Waaagh! is declared, because that seems even more ridiculous.

Also, Grey Knights terminators are 7 points cheaper than standard Assault/Tactical Terminators? wtf? why?!?
Why would I just not use Grey Knights allies over ever taking my own? Like why the gently caress would I ever take Lightning Claw terminators for 40 points, when I can have Grey Knights with double Falchions and a Storm Bolter for cheaper, who are very likely to have Hammerhand or Force to instant death monstrous creatures?

No. The formation in question specifies that it only works if your Warlord is a Warboss. Ghazghkull's ability only applies if he's the Warlord.

Does anyone in the US have an extra skull helmet bit (like from the plastic Chaplain or a Night Lords Terror Squad)? I'm piecing together bits for an awesome 30k conversion but I can't find any good heads on eBay.

Regular terminators are way overcosted and will get cheaper in the next C:SM release. Change has to begin somewhere.

I like the Skitarii, think the cyborg ninjas are pretty neat, absolutely love the dunestriders, and think the dunecrawler is also pretty neat. The only thing disappointing me about Admech so far is the lack of an HQ choice, since I'd love to have some crazy tech lord dude to lead the army, preferably on a giant walking robothrone like Karamazov, but crazier.

Honestly I kinda like the new walker, it looks pieced together from various eras, which fits my idea of ad mech never innovating, just using what came before and adding it to other things that came before. The twin AC version looks better than the big drilly-looking thing though, so will probably make that. I am getting too old to care about stats, Rule of Cool for me from here on out I am thinking.

For 90 points that thing better have some drat good weaponry.

It costs as much as a dread, is about as survivable, and the guns don't synergize well. I'm sure people will find a way to make them work, but I can grab a mortis for a few points more. Or a contemptor for about double.

So far Admech and Legio Cibernetica poo poo all over skittering manpeoples and dudecrawlers.

1) Sword too big, rear end 2 phat (40k is generally like that, not your fault, but the sword is gigantic, this is is a human not a SPESS MAREEN).
2) Looks great other than that, the Inquisition icons on the leg and chest look great.
3) Play Hotline Miami 1 or 2 or BROFORCE for further inspiration. I do not recall correctly, (I'm very dumb) but the Ripley character might be called-- actually I'm a total fraud, they call her Ellen Ripbro:
