OK, Zone Mortalis. 500 points on 2 by 2 boards with 6 inch deployment zones and huge amounts of terrain? Have people here tried that?

To play devil's advocate none of those are finished. He had a finished knight which wasn't in any of the pictures (died t1) and it looked very nice with much more nuanced colours and detailing.

Thundercloud posted:OK, Zone Mortalis. Pretty much. We usually make a rat-maze style setup with either D&D vinyl map outlines or building blocks/lincoln logs or whatever. Personally, I think 500 points is too small unless you're playing team games (on 2'x4') or both players are really going out of their way to go MSU. 600-800 can still work on a tiny table and doesn't slow things down in a bad way but it lets you have slightly more fun stuff to play with. 1000 is awesome but really needs 3x3 or 2x4 or even 3x4 to work optimally. 500 points is small enough that you can just use the Space Hulk tiles though. You might even have fun letting every model operate independently, like in Kill Team/Tactical Strike. I should try that, actually.

Was thinking of people pairing up. That way the 500 points of stuff total is not too intimidating to buy and paint. I was thinking of kitbashing various plastic terminators to get two squads of Legion Terminators and then doing the Pride of the Legion rite. I think a lot of people do that in order to have their first 1000 point force. While plastic Horus Heresy is rumoured it won't be on the scene until at least August/September as once marines and DA are out the way we are getting maybe two months of fantasy releases. When this happens there'll be boxed sets people can buy and immediately have the core of an army.

Any good alternatives for ZM boards?Safety Factor posted:Uh, are you trying to say that terminators don't have deep strike? They definitely do, especially Deathwing who have additional rules related to it. It may just be specified in the rules for the armor itself instead of the unit entry. TDA gives Deep Strike, so characters with it can deep strike too

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Any good alternatives for ZM boards? Not really, no. However it's not too difficult to make some, even cheap ones you can make quickly; the boards are 1' by 1', with 1" squares as floor tiles. Get some MDF board and cut them into squares (places like Home Depot will do it for you), draw lines on it, then section off places as walls by either drawing on the board, or using foamboard (or plastic terrain sprues like Deadzone or GW). I kinda wish Secret Weapon had tiles suitable enough for it. That was a missed opportunity.

Black_Nexus posted:I am just getting back to 40k, do all models need to be on 32mm bases now? They do come with 25mm bases - but a pretty good guess is that they are going to officially come with 32mm in the future. Personally I like the look of the 32mm bases much better for marines in general. I keep my Chaos Cultists on 25mm bases. I am still debating what to do with my demon allies (bloodletter, pink horrors, plaguebearers, etc) but leaning towards 25mm

For those running Chaos Demons - when you run a Herald of Tzeentch are you using the official (Finecast) model? Is he removable from the disc? (I assume so). Or did you kit bash something together? If so - what/how? Can you show any example pictures of what you have done?

Or did you kit bash something together? If so - what/how?  This is the most recent one. It is made with bits from the flaming chariot. I still have the larger portion of the disc for another model.  This is the first one I made. It is with a zodiac talisman Screamer bits and a lasercut-pinewood 60mm base + a little greenstuff with a horror on top. Both models use the large 60-(ish)mm flight base. [edit] But I don't use the acrylic stand, one is the flames itself and another is a rod painted black underneath. Here they are, flying together in a gaggle of screamers.  The burningchariot is like the same price as the one herald model. Almost no reason to get it unless you like the pose/bits a LOT.

Midlands Age of Darkness group sign up thread is now here on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/519645781404615/ If you are midlands based and want to get games in, sign up. I'm open to ideas, and whether it becomes a venue for people just finding other people to play 40k or we do a campaign is up to the people involved.

There are official kill team rules, but they are typical low effort GW stuff. There are unofficial kill-team + campaign rules out on the internet (http://heralds-of-ruin.blogspot.dk/p/kill-team-rules.html) that are probably too much effort, but at least you can tell that they care. My 2v2 group is going to try to do some heralds of ruin kill team since we can play after work and finish in an hour or so instead of the 3 hour long games we do now. I'm looking forward to it, but the campaign stuff seems like way too much trouble to be worth it.

Tactical Strike is a good happy medium between GW's and Heralds of Ruin's KT rules. I like the simplicity of GW's too, though.

It did occur to me that if GW aren't idiots then these new marine boxes will come with a revised combat patrol in White Dwarf/on the website, so that someone can pick one up, their mate can, and away they go playing games. Just like Warmahordes. But there's a basic flaw in my logic there.

They need to stop this copy pasting cad poo poo. All the models are just slight tweaks of older bits that are then all mashed together. Thats the Dark Angels Captain from Dark Vengeance lower body, a Deathwing Knights robed head with the face replaced with the LE chaplain face plate for example.

Yeah, but independent of that he's still a pretty baller looking model. I just got in my Horus Heresy stuff today. Once I finish this old school tac squad I'll get to cleaning them up, but I'm excited to get started on these Ultramarines that are wholly different than my other Ultramarines. Also they only came with 25mm bases and not 32s, so I'll have to get those.
