They should have included an option for the "eyes" to be a clear window where you could see a deteriorating skeleton with barely a brain left to run the robit.

It looks like GW is actually trying to move in a good direction for once. Now if only we could get plastic sisters. Seriously, how do you not make minis for a fan favorite like the genestealer cults until now? jadebullet fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Feb 20, 2016 |

They're also phasing out the current finecast broodlord sculpt. I'm hoping this means there's a new one coming - I missed out on grabbing the Space Hulk 'stealers and I've always regretted it.

They did a unique sculpt for the Deathstorm box, perching on a capillary tower. I think it's a little larger than the Space Hulk one.

I might have to find somebody who wants to split a Deathstorm box with me. Just wait. I can pretty much guarantee that they'll release a the Deathstorm broodlord at some point. The "exclusive" wolf dude and ork warboss are getting a normal release right now. The broodlord probably isn't too far off if they're phasing out the old finecast/metal sculpt.

The old guard didn't like armies that were too much of a mash of two other armies. They thought it drowned out the uniqueness of of the two parent armies for an army that tended to inherit too much or too little of their parent armies' weaknesses and such were difficult to balance around and struggled to find their own voice. GS Cults, Squats, Orks with Chaos influence and, for a long time 3rd launched Sisters, were casualties of this line of thought.

GS Cults, Squats, Orks with Chaos influence and, for a long time 3rd launched Sisters, were casualties of this line of thought. That's actually a very fair and valid line of reasoning. In our post-allies world, that doesn't matter nearly as much, though (to the game's detriment). As far as 40k goes, I think the ideal hybrid implementation is a formation or two that can be added to/are battle brothers with Tyranids that give them access to non-Tyranid psychic powers through a Genestealer Magus. E: Get a load of this gem--I was talking about Curse of the Wulfen with one of my friends, who suggested that the new Iron Priest didn't replace the old one. I suggested that the new book said otherwise. Here's the rub--in the new Wulfen campaign book, on page 28, it reads "The Iron Priest datasheet (pg 34) replaces the Iron Priest datasheet found in Codex: Space Wolves. Seems cut and dry, right?

I know genestealer cultists are going to end up as lovely formations if they end up in 40k proper at all, but I'd rather see them as a little codex with only a few options and intended to be used as an allied detachment. Something like: HQ - Magus or Broodlord Elites - Purestrain genestealers (maybe they could be a command squad equivalent and hybrids would go here) Troops - Cultists/Hybrids with limos available as dedicated transports Fast Attack - A squad of limos, like the equivalent of technicals made out of up-armored limos. Maybe just looted sentinels for extra  Heavy Support - A looted Leman Russ squadron with limited options Why would Tyranids want to ally in more genestealers? The purestrains could have a special rule or two to signify that they know the local terrain and are cannier/older/tougher than your average just-spawned genestealer. Other than that, the cultists would give Tyranids some light ranged options and some crappy armor for grins. Allying them to something like guard would be interesting too. I don't know, I'm just spitballing and this dumb idea will probably still be better than GW's actual execution when/if they get around to it themselves.

What a clusterfuck. Adding more options and creating more poo poo is not how you make a good game. I stopped following 40k around the time formations happened and I have no idea how to wrap my brain around the game anymore... and now you can choose which profile you want? Jesus.

BULBASAUR posted:I stopped following 40k around the time formations happened and I have no idea how to wrap my brain around the game anymore... To me, armies should be limited to one primary FOC and one allied and the game should be balanced around that. Weird options and rules interactions should be included within a unit's codex entry rather than arbitrarily given if they are taken with some specific assortment of units. Altering the FOC with bonuses/drawbacks is also cool. This is why I am hoping to hide in the sweet, resinous embrace of 30k. Until that is inevitably ruined by GW too. I hold no illusions.

So I played against the Dark Angels version of the Gladius. I was able to handle it with my Ultras, but how in the gently caress is an assault oriented army supposed to stand a chance against such an outrageous rule as the whole detachment firing at full BS on over watch? I assume the answer is "they don't" but still talk about silly. I assume Orks just auto lose as they get walked over by regular ole tacticals.

Firing at full BS on overwatch is just insane. 'What's that? You want to employ the one strength of your army which your entire battle plan is focused around? No. Let me get a free round of damage utilising my strongest damage type first. Then I get to hit you in CC.'

Ok, those cultists and hybrids rule. They're way better than I expected. The marines, on the other hand, are just marines though that squad is hilariously mixed. Seven on foot, two with jump packs, one in terminator armor, and a loving bike.

Something like: I would hope for a stealth boost to genestealer units. Like, if within 6" of a cultist unit genestealers get shrouded. Units shot by cultists count as pinned when charged by genestealers (no overwatch and counts-as grenades). Give the magus a special power that forces enemy units to reroll passed pinning checks, making the horror maybe worth it.

I wish the abarrents weren't in the same 2 poses, but oh well. 2 units of 15 (when including the magus and primus) and a handful of big dudes. Will be interesting to see if/how they incorporate them into 40k.

You look at the hybrids and you can't believe the same company made the Wulfen or Stormfront Eternals. Can someone give a breakdown of the contents and the UK price? And are the 40k rules in that White Dwarf? The genestealer cult seems like a proper small army, while the death watch are a squad and some characters. However some Calth marines and Vanguard could easily turn it into two.

OK, that actually looks decent, the minis are well designed and well thought through, they've remembered that all the major chapters actually exist, the character names are not dopey as gently caress... what's going on? The only thing that's slightly off is... how the hell does anyone who *doesn't* have three hands normally wield that mining laser? E: oh, it says they need a servo arm. So, in order to have someone wield that you need to do expensive cyber surgery on them instead of... mounting it on a tripod. That is so loving 40k. I'm actually impressed with this so far. I'm sure they'll find a way to wreck it though. I trust them with that. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Feb 20, 2016 |
