When I played a pair of games this past weekend with my dad, we used missions from the 5th ed Battle Missions book and he used the 4th edition Orks codex. If I were to start a new Ork army or play those Orks against people outside of casual games with my dad then yeah, I'd buy the new book, but right now there's not really a problem with it. Same thing with my Marines codex - if I go to a tournament or whatever I'll get the new one, but even if I were to play with the guys in my gaming group I doubt they'd care all that much if I used the 6th ed one. As for Dark Angels, I was actually happy to pick that codex up since it was both a straight upgrade from the last codex rules-wise, and it'd been a few years since the previous DA book came out. Also, there's a new BFG PC game coming out and holy poo poo is it pretty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWteWul9cBE

The standard lets you re-roll everything. You want to see the rules? I have the pdf on my miniature laptop in the other room. You can go scroll through it while I murder your army with 10 other special rules you don't know

I own the paper codexes but these days I just use pdfs on my tablet when I game because it's so much easier. I've actually started editing those pdfs in Acrobat and removing everything but the army list, armory, and unit entry pages. The end result is a surprisingly useful 20-30 page digital document. I still carry the mini 7th ed rulebook most of the time, though. e: also, gently caress GW for their stupid exclusive limited edition rules bundles. I didn't attend Warhammer World and I'm never going to, but I fully plan on using that Kharybdis-Berserker formation

Possibly of interest to folks in this thread, a new trailer for the Battlefleet Gothic game in the works.

Yeah, I just use PDF's on my tablet. GW is the kind of company where if you bought a wedding from them they would charge you for the annual polishing. Big ups to the people that set the chapters and such so you can jump to them.

Cooked Auto posted:Elysians or bust. I think you spelled Steel Legion wrong. Yeah, I'm curious about AdMech, too. I won a bunch of Skitaari stuff at NOVA, which means I'll probably have to start a ~1000 pts of skitaari, which will make me want to do a ~1000 pts of AdMech, which will make me want to get at least one Knight. This loving hobby.

Can a 1000 point list even hope to hurt a knight?

I dislike Cadian models, not necessarily because of anything intrinsic but because they are so overexposed.

BULBASAUR posted:How do you like the books so far? The books themselves are a really nice quality. I'm really glad I didn't have to buy 3 different books to get all my rules or whatever. Most things seem pretty balanced. Yeah, some of the rites of war have goofy drawbacks (no fortifications oh no) but you can do so much different stuff it's neat. Justaerin Terminators are some serious bullshit though and I need Ghost Hand to write a strongly worded letter about buffing them. panascope fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Sep 11, 2015 |

Cadians are boring, basically any other flavor IG are better. Tallarn and Praetorians are definitely my faves and whenever I get around to starting a small IG force, it'll be one of them.

Yeah, I always liked the Praetorians, but by the time they came out I already had scads of Tallarns. I had started to get my hands on some old metal Catachans to use as Penal Legion (because they look like loving convicts to start with), but then GW went and removed the Penal Legion from the Codex. Assholes. Here they are with their spit-and-polish warden-sergeant:

I've been thinking about starting some IG or AM or whatever the gently caress, but forgeworld models are so drat expensive. Is there any way around selling a kidney for 500 points of space nazis?
