I'd totally lost interest in 40K due to the insane release schedule. Stealer Cults are the only thing that could bring me back. I hope they aren't just in that boxed set though, they need a proper Harlequin release with a small dex. They also need a Patriarch, I don't get why they have been retconned out of existence.

Aren't Patriarchs just Broodlords that haven't gotten skinny yet? (Like, aren't they literally the exact same thing?)

I assume they've just been replaced with the Broodlord. I really like the models featured, even the silly deathwatch dudes. But $165 is a lot to spend on a board game I will never play.

The Magus description in the WD issue mentions Patriarchs, so I don't think they have. I hope Limos are gone though, those were dumb. I can see miners riding around in Technicals though, or something like the Elysian drop troop buggies.

As much as I want to treat my inner 17-year old self to GS cultists, $165 is loving nuts. That said, it'll probably be on clearance by Easter.

But god drat it's about a £ per point-in-game, for something that's not even good in the game, which I barely play anymore. Sweet models though.

For those of you who just want the deathwatch, I'm happy to split a box. But with a 20% discount it is less awful in pricing.

Glad I figured wrong about the Broodlord One thing I do like about the Deathwatch models is that it immediately gives 10 chapters an easy-to-convert champion/character model. TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Feb 20, 2016 |

Uroboros posted: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. Lord Twisted posted: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.' My wife's DA have, to date, never beaten da Boyz; we haven't played with this new codex, however, and I dread it. It makes me question the fundamental cognitive capacity of GW rules-writers: assault is clearly underpowered compared to shooting, so do they understand that? Do they acknowledge that because shooting is so imbalanced, and because you can't fire into CC, they somehow also believe that CC is broken, since it's a hard-counter to their preferred combat method? And do they therefore follow with this line of "thinking" that assault-oriented armies are somehow the truly overpowered ones, since all of their units will be dedicated to stop the opponents' shooting?  25 point Power Klawz & 27 point bikes & believing Nobz are a good unit they should push & eliminating assault from Deepstrike unless you're Space Marysuerines makes so much more sense now.The counter to this despair is, in knowing my enemies, I may homebrew the solution based on not-pretzel logic.

I want to say they are aware and the pendulum is slowly swinging back to the assault (looking at space wolves) but we havnt seen a codex updated that isn't one of the "good" guys in a while, so who knows if it's an exception or the start of a trend. I'm guessing it's a complete accident.

I do suppose that I ought not ascribe to malice what clearly resulted from incompetence, except that their incompetence is either thoughtful or thoughtless; but the prevalence of game-wrecking hamstrings in the Ork and Tyranid codices are too significant & consistently awful to ignore. That said, take a look at all the poo poo the Wulfen get that makes them into a viable assault unit: two or three different mobility-boosting attributes or buffs, dirt-cheap wargear, AP2 everywhere, superior Initiative, buff bubble, and a list of unique and stolen assault-boosting special rules longer than the OJ trial.Meanwhile, what makes a good shooting unit? High BS, Twin-Linked, maybe Rapid Fire, long range, high S. Low AP hardly even factors in since shooting is so safe by comparison, but when it does, it's devastating to the targets.

After playing for 20 years and waiting nearly that long for Genestealer Cults to make a comeback, then seeing the quality of these sculpts, I feel I should be excited about this. Hell, I want to be excited about this. Is there a German word for this feeling?

Just got done playing a pretty good 1000pts game. We decided to shake things up and tried a Guild Ball-esque activation system instead of the usual player turns. Despite some awkwardness with Psychic powers and Reserves it turned out to be a fair bit of fun. Don't think I'd like it in anything larger than 1000pts, but it did make decisions much more tactical.

No. Let me get a free round of damage utilising my strongest damage type first. Then I get to hit you in CC.' I met this first in a tournament. It was a guy that was famously awful with the old codex who had brought the gladius formation or whatever to a special mission tournament. As such I was relying on a couple of units of Death Company and all the way through the early turns he kept chuckling to himself about the 'big surprise' he had in store. I knew what it was but did point out the acknowledged thing to do was explain your army's rules rather than spring them on people when it mattered. As such my depleted death company suffered most at the hands of Grav to this rule. As part of the special rules any vehicles were placed in reserve, it was loving awesome to have two turns of competitive play before a dozen Razorbacks which he didn't have to pay points for turned up to play loving shooting gallery. This was actually the turning point for me and this game. I looked up at the fifty percent space marines armies in the tournament and thought about just leaving. I barely ever won before the newer changes but the gulf in rules power on top of the freebies available for some means it wasn't even entertaining to play. I will probably snag the cultists off eBay for inflated prices rather than the box set for inflated prices. I am a little bit wary that, with repeats of the sculpts you are not actually getting very much for your money. If anyone wants to trade their cultist for space marines stuff that I have never got round to using I have multiple vindicators, a land raider and a pile of metal miniatures that I am looking to get rid of!
