Anyone got a map I can straight up steal that would be great for a 6 player 40k campaign that would last about 5 turns? Edit: Compulsory GW hilarity. In the Warzone Damnos book, they have a Pedro Kantor painted up as a deathwatch marine. DJ Dizzy fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Apr 17, 2015 |

I'm just poo poo posting. I think the price of things needs to come down as a new player that wants to get involved more. Things like a box of tactical marines could really stand to come down to $30 instead of the $40 that they are, and I'm sure that can be done without outsourcing their labor overseas. It's just discouraging going in to a store and looking at two boxes of models and knowing that it's going to run up to $100 after tax.

I'm fairly certain all their plastics are already made overseas. Have you checked the source of the product lately? It could be why all the resin knock offs are so easy to do, since those 5 dollar a day workers can get with their cousins down the block and together make 30 buck resin Riptides after the factory closes down for the night.

BULBASAUR posted:In some countries/industries there are laws that regulate what you can and can't put in credits. For games made in America, for example, if 100 people were voice actors on GTA and one of them was unionized and 99 weren't you couldn't include the other 99 people in the credits without breaking your union contract. You could give them 'special thanks', but you couldn't list them as an actor. Agreed, if GW hasn't cared about anything else its' customers have bellyached about, they aren't going to start with taking authors' names off of codexes because people said terrible things about Mat Ward (or Cruddace, or Gav Thorpe, or whoever). My guess is that it's possible that someone started moaning about how since it's their book with their name on the cover, they should start receiving more compensation/have more say in the way things are going regarding whatever game they were writing for (or something that basically made GW go "ok we need to slap this person down a notch or two"). Something like that, anyways.

Dumb rules question. If a model has a pistol, but no CCW, does that mean it gets a "free" CCW because it doesn't have a weapon with the melee type? In other words, if a model is only armed with a pistol, does it get +1 extra attacks for having 2 weapons? I'm looking at the pistol entries on page 41/42 which contradict each other. One says pistols "count as a CCW in the assault phase" and on the other page it says they "can be used as a CCW". Then there's the no melee weapon rule with 'unless it's specifically stated you have a weapon with the Melee type, your model is treated as having a single CCW.' I love this well written game.

I'm going to guess that if a dude only has a pistol he doesn't get a bonus attack since it counts as a close combat weapon and he wouldn't be entitled to a "free" one. Seems pretty simple to me.

My guess: if you choose to not use a pistol as melee weapon, you get a free ccw, but since the pistol doesn't count as a second melee weapon your model is still stuck with a single attack.

Yes, otherwise tactical marines would get an extra attack and then they would be equally as effect in assault as assault marines.

ZachAttack posted:Actually I really appreciate the feedback! I have no idea how to price this stuff so I mostly just took the GW price for the individual pieces and took %30 off. How much was the old BF MSRP/RRP? I think it was £60 - I don't know the american price, but the exchange rate is almost exactly 2:3 right now. Plenty of online stores go down to 25% off retail, so if I were selling NOS models I would probably try and get 25-30% off retail for them. Hope that helps, I'd buy the buggers myself if we weren't on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

If not for the "counts as a CCW" passage, then technically yes the model would get a free invisible CCW and get +1 attack. The passage about counting-as having a CCW only exists to counter-act other grognards that would say, "Your model doesn't have a weapon therefore it doesn't get to attack in close combat." I remember as far back as 3rd edition some people were confused about if you could swing a bolter in close combat or not. But it doesn't. This is even worse than people that say you can't use a pistol in close combat after you shoot it. This (and editorial laziness) is why Games Workshop inserted a section into the rules about not being a thick-skulled donk starting in 6th edition.

I remember as far back as 3rd edition some people were confused about if you could swing a bolter in close combat or not. I'm reminded of the 5E Necron codex - the Canoptek Wraiths could buy a chest-mounted particle caster (S6AP5 pistol, essentially) for 5P - paired with them obviously having close combat implements of some sort you'd expect they'd get an extra attack out of it but of course when somebody asked, the FAQ ruled 'no'. Meanwhile Canoptek Spyders could buy the fabricator claw array that gave them the repair ability AND said 'this counts as a close combat weapon' - again, somebody asked if the extra CCW would give them an extra attack and the answer was 'no'. Why the hell did they even feel the need to add the note, then? poo poo like this is why me and my buds have been tempted to make a 'for common sense' set of houserules for our mancave.

I finally finished my havoc squad for my Black Legion army. I hate assembling these loving metal autocannon bits. Beats finecast, though.   The best part is that this gives me 1,500 points of Black Legion*, finally. Wooooo! It's a pretty poo poo army as-is, but I don't care. Have some lovely photos!     *I have more, but I only play with painted mans.

You could've just converted some autocannons out of the heavy bolters no one uses   Your army is  though. Despite being the 'generic' legion I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually PLAY a Black Legion force, so bonus points on that.

The rules are actually pretty clear though: Pistols count as close combat weapons. You look up what a close combat weapon is and under its entry on page 41 it has Type: Melee. Therefore Pistol has Type: Melee and the model has a weapon with the Melee type.

I was in the room with him when someone asked a thinly veiled Ward question during a seminar. I have no doubt in my mind that they dropped the credit in a direct response to the ludicrous internet vitriol. Not everything needs to be a retarded conspiracy theory about how evil GW is.
