Spindly legs aren't really common in Gundam. High heels is doable

I'm afraid I can't think of anything. Gundam models tend to be very well engineered and designed.

Wait according to my bank account sisters got a codex released in special digital form less then two years ago. How is that not a recent release? All the rules and everything were improved and made standard right? All my faith points were changed around and put into units didn't they? I am kind of confused here.

I have no idea how the Warhammer 40k game works, could you restrict army lists to only robots?

Most of the armies have some sort of robot.

I think there's a 30k list from Forgeworld which represents Knight houses, so you have Knights in all slots. (inc. Troops for Obsec)

Those are all from the Dataslate, so it's just a reprint. They did add how precision shots work to the Vindicare entry though.

Ah, thanks. I never bought the Dataslate so I thought the formation stuff might be new or the rules updated.

Help me out here goons, still trying to piece together how I want to run a Skitarii list.

If I ally in some Battle Bros, can I embark on their transports and/or dedicated transports? Basically I want to know how to get my Vanguard and Ruststalkers into transports without a huge overhead from the allied detachment. I'm considering Valks from and Inquisition detachment (up to three from a single FA slot) but the rules are fuzzy to me on how this would work.

You should probably circle the head and hands too, of every GW miniature ever because this is the nature of heroic scaling.

e: oh yeah and weapons.

It's possible to do heroic scale without stupid clown shoes or monkey hands. Just look at the Catachan command squad vs plastic Catachan infantry.

All I wanna do is make you bounce
Heralds of Ruin Kill Team question: if I'm making a Death Guard team and I take a Plague Champion, is the 4 point cost for being Death Guard included in the 11 points for the Plague Champion upgrade, or do I have to pay the 4 point cost on top of that despite the fact that the upgrade contains all the benefits the Death Guard rule would normally give me?

E: Think I answered my own question - once he takes the Plague Champion upgrade, he's no longer an Aspiring Champion (much the same way that an Apothecary is no longer a Veteran) and is not required to take the Legion upgrade.

Youre right but the vindicare feet hands and head look to be pretty in proportion to me (in proportion to heroic scale if that makes sense) I can't help but feel that Moola is nitpicking. He probably posts the most in the thread at the moment, has absolutely nothing of value to to the thread and has turned it into GW Death Thread mk2. It bums me out because this was my favourite threads in the forum that always had good content, people posting heaps of pictures of their rad poo poo and now it just really sucks and is a chore to read.

This was the best place for actual 40k discussion on the net as far as I've found. Now it's just full of spammy, unoriginal shitposters, who wouldn't cut the mustard on Warseer, spilling over from two or three other threads because that's how much they don't care about Warhammer. With added loving snuff.

It's a genuine pity.

I like this thing. I like it lots.

I've seen a few people on other forums complaining about the Vindicare's feet too, but I honestly think it's just the photo. It's already angled looking up towards him, and it's an oddly angled photo of the magazine page itself. If his feet are too big for your tastes then either swap them out with ones from another model or put some grass on his base to cover them up.

And if you're tired of the shitposts/ers, just put them on ignore. That's how I make Dakka almost tolerable.

Yeah. There's a detachment of a single elite, and the formation with all four types. They both give you the extra VP if an assassin kills their warlord, and the formation gives them all Preferred Enemy against the Warlord.

Dedicated Transports can only hold the unit that bought it before the game starts. Other transports can hold any BBs.
