Eldar already have S6 spam out the rear end. S6 alone doesn't win games. It depends on what heavy fire support Eldar will get (hint: not much) but i'll eat a nice crow sandwich if i'm wrong Sulecrist posted:They seem a lot like Battlesuits to me, except faster, cheaper, and more vulnerable to weight of fire. I think I'd rather play against these than White Scars. pretty much, they're still on marine/crisis suit bodies. If you can't kill units of 3 MEQs your list has problems, jetbike or not

Sulecrist posted:They seem a lot like Battlesuits to me, except faster, cheaper, and more vulnerable to weight of fire. I think I'd rather play against these than White Scars. Yeah. They'll be a pain, but they can be dealt with. Some armies will have a really difficult time with them, others will be able take them out without too much hassle. My buddy was using Imperial Guard against me last week and was using this Forgeworld artillery piece that's basically a basilisk cannon. Since it's artillery and not a vehicle, it can take orders. So a Strength 9, AP3, ignores cover large blast that can shoot 3 times (three guns in one unit), would make these disappear rather quickly. Tau's weight of fire would also be able to cut through them without too much trouble. But I think Daemons would be screwed. A lot of shooting is what takes these things down and Daemons just don't have it.

GCs are only wounded by poison on a 6, can fire any number of weapons at any number of targets, come with FNP, have a 12" move, and can Stomp (and can't be stomped).

So i'm thinking of starting up a third army (after Black Legion and Blood Angels) of Grey Knights. I don't really like the Silver-Grey colour scheme they usually come in. I've bought a box of Terminators to experiment with. Anybody got any recommendations? I've been thinking Racing Green or a darker shade of Purple.

If you wanted to still look vaguely metallic, maybe a glaze over a metal job? I could see a blue metal thing working here, sort of mixing the Librarian and Knight themes. Semi-related: what's the best method for highlighting when you glaze? Just paint the highlight as per normal and thin your glaze enough that the highlight isn't overwhelmed?

I'm getting ready to sell my Chaos army. I've never sold any of my stuff before...have you guys found it to be easier to sell armies piecemeal, or as one big item? I also have no idea how much it's all worth. I have: 1x Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor unassembled, 90% still on sprue. 2x Chaos Lords 2x Helbrutes (one is a super old metal dreadnought) 5x Terminators 1x Heldrake 4x Bikers 5x Raptors 20x Cultists 28x Marines 20x Berserkers 6x Chosen 5x Possessed 1x Codex A crapton of bits and accessories and the like.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:going back a bit but why would a warlord have the exact same aesthetic design choices as every knight released thus far? Consistency? Compare the leg structure on the screencap:  to a Warlord from early Adeptus Titanicus days:  and something someone built (note the carapace mounted weapons):  to a Knight:  Also, if you look at 0:50-0:51, you can see its foot is behind the building which is behind the dreadnoughts. That thing is huge. Definitely a Warlord. EDIT: In a composite shot, I noticed the foot is not behind a building. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Apr 15, 2015 |

I also have no idea how much it's all worth. I have: It's easier for you to sell in one big chunk. It's easier for buyers to buy piecemeal. If I'm just looking for terminators, I'm not paying for the rest of an army. Of course, on the flip side, you have to deal with multiple buyers, multiple trips to the post office, and poo poo sticking around because nobody wants it.

serious gaylord posted:That makes them near enough 30 points for a toughness 4, 3+ save model. Somewhat fragile, yes, but with a four-shot S6 gun, the JSJ move to stay hidden, and the ability to get essentially anywhere on the table in a single turm. Phyresis posted:pretty sure this is standard chicken little panic, i can't see them changing much. Eldar already have S6 spam out the rear end. S6 alone doesn't win games. It depends on what heavy fire support Eldar will get (hint: not much) but i'll eat a nice crow sandwich if i'm wrong Speaking as someone who has won multiple tournaments on the back of S6 spam, it's a pretty fuckin' good start. In terms of raw firepower, they actually hit harder than a Wave Serpent does against any T4 or less target; they lack Ignores Cover, of course, and aren't quite as good at killing vehicles, but on the flip side they also don't have the 65pt Dire Avenger tax to go with them. I will gladly replace my Serpents with eight of those little assholes instead, especially if I can get some Str D shooting from Wraithguard to handle hard targets and back it up with a Firebase Cadre still.

Seriously, all of the titans need some serious structural pinning or they fall the gently caress to pieces. Hopefully they've learnt from past mistakes and while the Warlord is poseable enough to make each one different, theres concessions for the fact it will need to support a poo poo ton of weight on its hips.

NTRabbit posted:You're gonna need a bigger hot sand bed I was actually given a kind of "heads up" about the titan coming a few months ago, but the person wasn't explicit. So at FIRST I though "Oh man its going to be a Warlord Titan." Then the more I read into the clues I was given I thought "Maybe he means its going to be Chaos Knights!". I had convinced myself it was Chaos Knights coming. I'm both happy and sad I was wrong...

Just got back from a game against filthy goon JackMack - Blood Angels against my red Imperial Fists successors so it was hilariously confusing when it came to combats. Highlights include a dreadnought walking at scouts for 5 turns before rolling snake eyes on a 3 inch charge, 5 Marines having a manly wrestling match for 6 turns of combat, and a Predator securing Objective 5 no matter the goddamn odds. Will post pictures tomorrow! He also gave me a maul and the veteran with a maul I'd been hunting for - Top 'ham

Lord T is too modest to say that when the dust cleared he had firmly won. It was a great game, and he had some sage advice on where I could improve. I felt it was a good example of how maelstrom actually works as an equaliser as I feel i would have struggled in normal missions. A++ would game again.

Why can't it just be called Rending instead of making up a new rule for a weapon to say that it has Rending? And Witch weapons got hosed up good again, that's neato. Gonna meet up with my homies, put on bathrobes, and use my brain sword to tell your tanks to get hosed. Leaked photo of the Goon Class Titan:
