Cythereal posted:Those two are the tough/shooty legions among the traitors, unfortunately. World Eaters, Night Lords, and Emperor's Children are all very melee-oriented. Sons of Horus and Alpha Legion can go either way. I did sorta look at sons of Horus and alpha legion, I'm amenable to the fluff and aesthetic of both. Most of the stuff I saw/read, people were running them as more melee-oriented lists, and I wasn't quite sure how to build them differently. I'm still flipping from book to book trying to sort out fluff vs actual rules and figure out how it all fits together and what possibilities exist.

My favorite IW meta troll is the contemptor product page: Not only does it look like an Ork model, but its arms are just flailing around as if the photo dude said "yeah, gently caress it, it's already ugly and I need to be home early for rugby." Its also unpainted and has two identical product pictures. All the other contemptors have more pictures, almost all are painted, and most have 360 views. Always good times when your an IW player.

Weirdest thing, FW has that fucker painted up along with the Word Bearer Contemptor. I swear I've seen pictures of them in the miniatures gallery at Warhammer World. They really have a raging hate-on for Iron Warriors eh?

Paul Rudge from Forge World (book design & production) is all over the Heresy and 40K groups on Facebook with the models he's painting up, I think he does the Death Guard ones and the World Eaters ones are Andy Hoare's, who does some of the game design stuff. They were commenting at the seminars at the 40K open day that maybe they should do some loyalist models, because they only seem to have traitor legions represented.

I like Blood Angels. How viable of an army would be something like the Calth box plus a storm eagle for 20 of the mareens, a Caestus for the termies and a rhino for the other 10?

Crawling Fire is kind of a neat rule. Are there other weapons that have that?

Am I... missing something with the Calth bundles? The base game is $150/£95, and the legion-specific bits kit to upgrade are £44, but the bundle of the two is £225? How does that add up? I can't find anything else that seems to be included in the description.

Would I ever need much more in terms of Astartes than what comes in the Calth box for games of ~2,000?

ijyt posted:Would I ever need much more in terms of Astartes than what comes in the Calth box for games of ~2,000? Depends how you configure your force. Infantry horde get two boxes and have two, or even three, units of 20 marines, for close to 1000 points. Or go Pride of the Legion, 3 vet tac squads in rhinos, a squad of termis fitted for close assault in a land raider and some tanks/aircraft to season.

Safety Factor posted:It's three upgrade packs. You'd save a whole £2 versus buying everything separately. The packs themselves save anywhere from £0.50 to like £3 depending on the legion. It's typical FW discounts. Ahh, for some reason I thought the upgrade pack had enough for all the dudes, didn't realise you needed 3.

BULBASAUR posted:My favorite IW meta troll is the contemptor product page Ya, it looks like the Mechanicum consulted a Mekboy when they designed that monstrosity but it's not an entirely uggo model imho. A good paintjob would salvage the poor fella. With that said, the Leviathan is a way superior looking design and something similar would be infinitely more appropriate. Also Perturabo is rad as hell and his sculpt kicks so much rear end, so FW obviously has some love for the boys from Hazard Stripe County.

The wardens are walking but they are toting toxic grenade launchers so I'm considering them as a shooting countercharge unit.

Tbh if you're rolling a heavy squad a flare shield Spartan is just a must. Drop the GW terminators, take a Spartan tooled up, and then put any spare points into maybe a Sicaran?

A couple of friends are playing a round of tabletop 3/40k while my gaming group plays a session of Rogue Trader in the same room. Ultramarines legion list vs. 40k-era Cult Mechanicus/Skitarii list. Was hilarious to see Roboute accomplish little of note before getting vaporized by the skitarii shooting.
