Going to have to agree with the cheater cheater scruntin eater. That's just as bad as making dreadnought horizontal.

"Modelling for advantage" is a stupid concept from bad rules. You should model your dudes how they look cool and the game should be okay with that. Also the 'nids and space marines I was aiming to sell are both back in the for-sale pool if anyone was interested.

Infinity solved that issue by making every model have a silhouette. But this is GW, so v0v.

Leaked rules for the Ghostkeel Stealth Suit:Moola reminds you to not give GW money posted:The Ghostkeel is an elite choice that comes with 2 stealth drones for each Ghostkeel. It's a Jet Pack Monstrous Creature, and you can take 1-3. It has the normal Tau BS 3 with 4 wounds, but only a T5. However the 3+ save with +2 to it's cover save outside of 12" should make up for it.

TheChirurgeon posted:Also it's looking more and more (thanks to new photos) like the Stormsurge is just open-topped. Someone posted the assembly instructions and indeed there's no covering piece. And why would anyone think there would be, when the pics we've seen clearly show no hinges or attachement parts for a cover. The answer is: because GW is dum dum.

The Ghostkeel seems ok but both it and the Stormsurge don't provide very much shooting for their point cost, when Tau are all about efficient, overwhelming firepower. We'll see how much the old units have been changed in the new Codex, I guess.

lmao 4 10" SD shots, because your opponent is going to move juicy targets into range while the Stormsurge is immobile. And Tau were really lacking for S5 shooting before, let me tell you. Stormsurge doesn't do anything that other Tau units don't already do better

Maybe it's not a lot of shooting 'for Tau' I guess.

Ignite Memories posted:You would. I've had to deal with huge assholes who have modeled stuff for that exact reason and claimed extra coverage a model of the normal size would not get. We all know that the game is dumb so why you think it's nothing to get worked up about in a tourney is strange. One guy in my old old league ( the fighting hellfish of mountain view) modeled all his monstrous tyrannids scuttling like crabs to under half size. Another guy turned his rhinos into chopped and dropped low rhinos and his predator too. Both constantly fought for higher cover saves because more of the vehicle creature was in cover. Thankfully that's all in the pass.

Safety Factor posted:Aren't the new fire warriors supposed to be a dual kit? Maybe those are the strike team and breacher team. Coldstar/Enforcer will probably be some sort of Crisis variants since that's pretty obvious. Yeah, those are the two fire warrior variants.

If he had actually painted it or really done anything more than cut out the middle and not try to claim 100% coverage behind one inch barricades I guess it would have been cool. Candy apple red with gold trim and gothic print would have been a nice touch. The original rhinos were pretty small to start with.

Another picture dump! Today I got to play a round against my brother and his Space Marines for the most purple army-trophy. The game itself meant more to me than your usual match would because he has been battling a nerve disease for the past year and only now was in a condition to play with his own two hands. Since he obviously hasn't played in a very long time I took one of my worst lists available and it was more than enough to give him a victory by 10 points over my 4!   Ground forces from hive fleet Leviathan (Limbo tendril) are lured into an ambush inside a devestated hive city by the Brotherhood chapter, intense fighting ensues.   Some marines are caught off-guard by hordes of ripper swarms or ravening Raveners, but prevail in the end thanks to the power of the 3+ armor save.   This Carnifex failed its charge against the Dreadnought pictured; it suffered several powerfist blows for its efforts in the following turn. In the meantime, the Purple Terror eats a marine Sergeant.   As the Hive Tyrant engages a squad of plasma cannon marines that have been a thorn in its side for the past turn, the Chapter Master and some hand-picked Terminator veterans  DEEP STRIKE right into the enemy lines to assist their brethren. At this point I had lost the game already, but we kept going until turn 5 where his units tabled the last of the bugs. It was entertaining, and next time I'll definitely take some more competitive units to the mix since he had no trouble at all dealing with my terrible list. This was the first and last time I'll ever take a 5 strong brood of Zoanthropes.

Wouldn't a suit optimized for zero-gravity be completely useless in an atmosphere? Or at the very least, inefficient. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Oct 2, 2015 |
