They layouts and page breaks are different too, so that is the new version, but the artifacts and warlord boons are the exact same. Disappointing. E: If you have previously purchased Codex Black Legion on iOS you can update your version to the unreleased 2016 one. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Yeah, all the same stuff as before, looks like. Here's hoping we haven't seen all the formations, though I suspect we have. MasterSlowPoke posted:I think that is the previous version. So apparently what happened is GW pushed out the iPad update for the Black Legion codex early; if you have the BL codex on iPad, you can update to the new version immediately.

Ah, that makes sense. The reason why these are semi-mysterious is that these leaks are coming from the single person who bought the Black Legion codex on iPad.

So I am in the planning stage of my Heldrake conversion building it out of that fantasy zombie dragon thing. I want to keep the torn, bony wings, but since they are not flying wings as modeled, I was thinking it would be cool to have it be clinging onto the side of some ruins. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use for an appropriate ruins part of the model? Something kind of castly, in regard to it being made of cut stone, as my basing aesthetic is creepy forest/swamp, so the GW imperial cities of death stuff wouldn't really work.

You could use one of the old 3rd edition ruins corners. They work pretty well and match current aesthetics. There are a ton floating around ebay, or you can get them from recasters.  Sir Teabag posted:GW re-released "new" rules for free????? Hypothetically the reason you'd pay full retail price for a digital book is that you automatically get updates like this for free, I think.

So, I started a work in progress thread over at MWG and I'm trying to tailor it to Adepticon next year, with a monthly local tournament every month. I want to focus on "finishing" my Ultras meaning I don't plan on doing any allies, I might paint my Skitarii out of boredom, but when it comes to my tournament list I'm unsure which event I'll even be in, but I'd like to do either the Championship again or the team tournament should I somehow gain friends between now and then, but definitely not both. With this in mind I somehow feel what is powerful now is unlikely to change massively between now and then, so for the Championship I was thinking Battle Company running scout bikes as auxiliary, and librarius on bikes as a command choice, running the Demis as 5 man units with the captain and chaplain on bikes with a command squad meaning everything not in a transport will have full mobility. 9 Razorbacks with 2 rhinos for Grav wielding Devs. Thoughts? I'll likely run it all as White Scars. If I go teams I felt a simple 1000 point sky hammer would be fine. The plus side is these two list contain much the same so working on one will help the other, in time I'll work up some small lists for Zone Mortalis and combat patrol. In addition, my secondary goal is to finish painting nearly everything I have lying around unpainted with a tertiary of selling my old Ultras, which if anyone is interested I have: 2x Vindicators, 1x Predator, 10 Assault Marines, 5x Scout Snipers, 5x Devs, 2x Librarians, Tigurius, and Calgar. If you think a battle company is a poor choice I'd love to hear your thoughts before I begin in earnest. For this month I need to finish 10 tactical Marines, 1 speeder, and 1 rhino by the end of the month.

Looking at the Black Legion leaks....really sub-par stuff here. If everything was at this power level, it'd be a bit uninspired but fine. But when you have armies getting transport/upgrades for free by the boatload and Deep-striking and then shooting/assaulting on turn 1, it's just not nearly enough. Gotta laugh at the warlord traits, though. Black Crusader is useless against many foes, Eye of the Gods means nothing if your HQ is a sorcerer or someone not meant for big-time CC, and Gift of Balefire is an outright joke. There's some designer at GW who is certain, to a fanatical degree, that Soul Blaze is the most OP special rule ever, and that it is worth ridiculous point values when it comes to balancing stuff. "This psychic power is just a flamer template at the same Str and AP..." "Ohh. Slap Soul Blaze on it. It rocks now." "What? No. It's just a flamer that can be denied, can cause Perils, consumes warp charges and might slay an extra ork or hormagaunt every three games" "I said it ROCKs now! Better than Iron Arm by any measure!"

Having worked at a gaming store, I can see all of this being true. The people I worked with certainly weren't touching anyone (that I know of), but they were definitely making women feel uncomfortable enough that they would stop coming to the store. Comments along the lines of "what do you know? you're a girl" and "shut up and make me a sandwich!" were fairly common, and responded to with laughter by the rest of the crowd. I used to look back on my years there fondly, but now it makes me cringe. More recently (3 or 4 years ago), I was painting at the GW store in NYC when some mega nerds started a very detailed discussion on how Space Wolves repopulate entirely through rape.

I think the most disappointing part is that it seems like this is it for the new content for Black Legion, which gives us formations with no Decurion and nothing for Nurgle/Slaanesh-marked marines, nor a formation with Abaddon. Totally agree on Soul Blaze though--they seem to think it's amazing for no reason. They also seem to think the Fear rule is a big deal, and not something that most armies just ignore.

My uncle is gay, and imagine my embarrassment every time it slips out as a grown adult. To make it worse his brother gives absolutely zero fucks about his brother's sensitivities, so stuff can get a bit backward. Even discounting their differences in sexual preference it is hard imagine them as brothers considering how different they are. I can only imagine the conversations him and his partner have when making their once or twice trips from Vegas to visit us Midwestern yocals, and that is coming from a person who is likely amongst the most progressive in a 10,000 person town of rednecks. Anyway, 40K, effort post to take away from this D&D discussion. I made an effort post over at MWG.com: http://www.miniwargaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=117453&p=1052531#p1052531 This thread I figured is a better place than clogging up here with posts that get buried in 24 hours due to SA's volume of traffic vs MWG. Anyone who has thoughts on my goals, and takes the time to slog through my wall of text would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to figure out what my next big project is going to be, and after some deliberation I realized that I really do need some Drop Pods. (Please pray for me in this troubling time.) My current plan is to use this guide to magnetize the doors because I hate myself apparently. Is this still the best setup for being able to close/open the doors? I would just glue the doors shut and paint the outside if I wanted to use this as quickly as possible but I kind of want this project to take some time. Also, as a side note, god-drat is it tough to go back to your main army after not painting it for a while. I'd taken some time off from it to paint my Inquisition allied detachment, some objectives, and then Kill Teams for both Night Lords and Space Wolves, and I'm finding it hard to motivate myself to paint my regular color scheme.

GW re-releasing the black legion and crimson slaughter codexes with slight updates and re-formatting and not actually taking a look at the CSM dex is a tragedy. Maybe they are but you'd think they could at least announce "hey we're taking a look at CSMs", but I guess transparency isn't really GW's thing.

It's obviously not an excuse and he made a pretty big mistake regardless. That particular store stocks no GW product, BTW. He's big into Xwing, CCGs and board games, and his MTG crowd is, uh, interesting.

There were plenty of times when there was the curly haired girl there by her self with a few guys playing in the basement. I went to a D&D mini tournament they had once and the amount of guys creeping on her was pretty crazy. Once he moved out of that little spot on St. Mary's I stopped going since it was too far from my place.

A Human Rights Board of Adjudication is not a "city advisory board" (whatever the hell that is) and it was not a settlement, it was an award of damages. From the actual article: quote:Last year, after a three-day hearing, the human rights adjudicator ruled Garland's boss, store owner Scott Tackaberry, failed to protect her from the customer, despite her repeated complaints. Garland was awarded $7,750, a record amount that took into account "the young age of the complainant in this case, the shocking and ongoing lewdness of the conduct and comments that she had to endure and the special vulnerability of a young worker whose employer failed to protect her against the abhorrent inappropriateness of a middle-aged customer.
