Are the imperial knights pretty recent / new? I don't remember them at all. Games Workshop's trying to appeal to warmachine fans eh? Haven't played since college. Or maybe they existed and its just nobody I knew fielded them? jadebullet posted:Thanks man. It's for my Forsaken Chaos Marine warband. Is that like your own personal faction and colors? I haven't heard of any traitor chapter called the forsaken. If so, cool stuff.

So those Dark Angel tacticals that a buddy wanted me to sell? Unpainted, completely loving assembled, barrels drilled.. Mold lines all over the loving place. Not a single one removed. Besides breaking everything the gently caress apart and filing the mold lines down, any other ways to do it on assembled models?

Not always required, the major lines will be in places you should be able to reach with the tip of a scalpel. Depends on each individual model really.

I was trying to watch vids of the BFG:A multiplayer off of youtube earlier today. My conclusion is that it only attracts Brits and all but one of them are annoying as gently caress to listen to. Especially that MasterofRoflness guy. gently caress that guy.

Thanks guys. And I absolutely love those Grot tanks SRM, you captured the feel of them perfectly. Zaphod42 posted:Is that like your own personal faction and colors? I haven't heard of any traitor chapter called the forsaken. If so, cool stuff. Yup, it is my own personal warband. Not much is known about them in the Inquisitorial archives, but they appear wearing worn and rusty armor that displays the heraldry of various chapters upon their shoulder pads. The most common appear to be Raven Guard, but several other chapters have shown up in their ranks as well, including Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, and Blood Angels. The warband is suspected in being involved in several uprisings. They are strong in cultist activity, but those that fall to them tend not to fall to chaos, but instead descend into depraved madness, succumbing not to the temptations of the Dark Gods, but to their own twisted visions, and fear.

I *think* he used to be a Miniwargaming guy. It looks pretty buggy at the moment, I see they've had to push the release back a week for more work, i'm holding of for the official release, might even leave it a few months for polishing.

So I'm trying to play catchup on the changes since I used to play, seems like there's only 7th ed codexes for Marines, Dark Angels, and Tau? Is that right? (Really? Tau?) So with how 40k always worked the 6th ed codexes for the other factions are still tournament legal or whatever, yeah? What are the chances that they'll crank out 7th ed codexes for some of the remaining factions, like Chaos, Blood Angels or Orks? Should I just go ahead and grab the 6th ed codexes since I hear 7th ed isn't very different from 6th anyways? jadebullet posted:Yup, it is my own personal warband.

Sounds kinda like the Chaos version of the Deathwatch the way you've got dudes from different loyalist chapters mixed in. I like it.

Yeah, BFG:A is well worth it if only because people seem to get pissed from time to time when you decide that macrocannons will take too long, and ram your ship into theirs and push them into an asteroid field. Also, I just want to put it out there that if anyone has a spare Grey Knights torso back (non terminator) with the psychic hood, or a spare staff from the same box that they are looking to get rid of, feel free to PM me as I am looking for those two bits.

SRM posted:Eldar got a 7th ed codex as well, as did the new Admech guys. 7th is by and large pretty similar to 6th, but the psychic phase is wholly new. Yeah I've been reading about the physic changes in the 7th rulebook, and so far I kinda like them. I used to field lots of librarians and I'm down for a rethink of psykers. Thing is if I grab a 6th ed codex for like Blood Angels, is that going to work pretty well if I just kinda add in the psychic phase, or is it going to take some finagling and I may as well just wait for the official 7th release? Technowolf posted:Here's a list of all the current codexes. The only 6e ones left are Ah thanks, this is kinda confusing. GW needs to work on making their branding a little clearer. The fonts were making me think the rest of those books were only 6th. I was trying to find a list like this to make it clear what was which version, GW's website sure doesn't make it obvious and Amazon made it seem like some books were pretty old while others were published very recently. If that's the case I'll just go grab some codexes then! Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Mar 23, 2016 |

SRM posted:I do bigger bases for some characters - my Boyz are all on 25s but my Nobz are on 32s. It might cause some confusion if it's not just for characters but I wouldn't be put off by it. Guess I'll try to keep models within a squad consistent then. I have this big bunch of resin bases I don't want to pass on, but it'll mean a few marine squads on 25mm, some on 30 and the rest on 32mm. I can't imagine anyone being pissed that one tactical squad has bigger bases than another, but I'd rather ask around first.

Blood Angels were an early 7E release and have missed out on a lot of the power creep with no Decurion formation, underpowered scouts etc. I still love them, mind. They're generally pretty solid.

Oh drat, I didn't see that  Reminds me of a friend a few years ago who made a table using multiple of those awful, almost paper-thin IKEA side tables. He let himself fall over to take a closer look at the table with his hand extended, and instead just smashed through one of the drat things, shredding his forearm.

I hear a "rain" sound every time the person upstairs uses the water, and there's a large crack in my bathroom floor where I can see the downstair's neighbor's apartment if their lights are on. That sink also has a leaking pipe I just discovered which has bored a hole in the wood under it. I'm so happy to be moving out of this dump in July; my new place is genuinely really nice and also has a better space for gaming than my slanted-rear end kitchen. Also just finished some hamslam action with Sisko. He's a good dude, will post pictures and a report later. Admech are a silly army.

I was lying awake last night thinking about the Tau. Who made them? Are they Necrontyr? How do their pheromones work? How would a Dark Eldar torture a Tau with an Ethereal? What would the Emperor have thought of the Tau? Why don't the Eldar just become best buddies with the Tau? What's the deal with the Ethereals  ?I think when Tau have an Ethereal High they send out pheromones that trigger other Tau's Ethereal High responses. And sometimes all they have to do is know there's an Ethereal nearby for it to trigger. So all an Ethereal has to do is show up and suddenly everybody's feeling great and having a good time.

Now that they've been out for a bit, what is the consensus on the Skitarii? I'm still thinking about maybe picking up a starting box of them, it seems like a fairly good value, but I never know with GW. I like the Skitarii since they look like a fun goofy shooty army that has some neat melee.

Just be aware that if you're using Skitarii you cannot legally field a Combined Arms Detachment or Allied army list, as the army has no HQ units. This limits you to the Battle Maniple FOC in the Skitarii book and the various formations available. As far as I know Skitarii cannot get Objective Secured, so they're cool and fun but pray to the Omnissiah you can shoot those CAD Tacticals/Ork Boyz/$troopunit off the objective in time.
