can't wait to use this logic to bamboozle some idiot into believing his army is not legal due to clerical error, while i play one of two legal armies in the game: solar auxilia or questoris knights

DrPop posted:No, it's not. It appears to be just copy-pasted from the book each legion's appendix first appeared in. For example, EC is the third appendix in Book 1, so it was copied from that. The Death Guard is the fourth appendix in Book 1 and was copied from that, so it's "Appendix IV" in the AoD book despite not being the actual fourth in order in the AoD book. Somehow I'm not surprised. "Appendix III? Legion III? Makes perfect sense!" It was not meant to be.

I'm looking at the Day of Revelation RoW and I'm not quite seeing how to make it work. Unless there's some hefty investment, you're only going to get one Dreadnaught drop pod into play on turn one to do the 3+ cover save trick for your infantry. To make the deep strike work with that kind of narrow placement window, you need a nuncio-vox or some other scatter reducer (command rhino?), which probably means at least an overcosted infiltrated recon squad that possibly has to survive for a turn if your opponent gets to go first or seizes. There's potential for a lot of synergy here, but I can't quite make it happen. Any thoughts? (Quick overview: mandatory troops and HQ must have jump packs, there has to be one flying or deep-strike capable fast attack choice.) quote:+++ Day of revelation (2000pts) +++

I've got a planned ZM force which is taking 2 squads of Kakophoni, and a Tactical Squad wit CCWs and Sonic Shriekers. It'll be great running those dudes around and kicking rear end in assault.

BULBASAUR posted:Looks like Heavy 2 Every unit that's taken at least one wound gets d6 automatic wounds if they fail a Ld test, with a penalty for each hit they took. So a better chance of those extra hits going off with larger units of Kakaphoni but I imagine diminishing returns after a point. Then again noise marines are all about excess and that jazz so go full size.

I think there's a bit too much going on in that scheme, I'd make the upper legs purple, maybe lose the yellow kneepads too, or the feet. Basically there's too much yellow, it works as an accent but not as a third colour.

Do regular iron for those joints, paint the shoulders purple aswell. A trick for doing decent looking black is edge highlighting with Dark Reaper followed by a fine extreme edge highlight of Fenrisian Grey.

i still think the black is out of place. it's not a condemnation of the painting quality, i just don't know why a; there's black and b; it's one of the primary focuses of the model.

muggins posted:Here is a better pic not in like, late day snow light. It's black. This pic looks a hell of a lot better! I think the back shot really highlights how good the purple/gold/steel can look. The blue (and to a much lesser extent, the black) do look more out of place this model than the other colors, but honestly it depends on the rest of the army. If black and blue are consistent throughout the rest of the models, I could see this working really well. Regardless, that's more paint than I have one any other dreadnought, so I say well done! Edit: I think I like the black. It's just the blue power weapon effect that stands out. I'd be more inclined to paint it metal or gold.

I don't think Red Butchers are covered by Pride of the Legion. They'd stay elites. It specifically applies to veteran squads and "legion terminator squads" only. It's mentioned in the Betrayal FAQ and the entry claims that any future squads that would be covered by this Rite of War would be marked in future books. I can't think of a single example of this so far. Here's what I'm talking about : https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Horus_Heresy/Betrayal_FAQ_Errata_V2.pdf quote:Q: In the case of the ‘Pride of the Legion’ Rite of War, Veteran and Terminator squads are Troops choices in the force; could you clarify the exact squads which fall into these categories? Also, just give your praetor a paragon blade. It'll do way better than any of the dumb gladiator weapons.

Finally getting around to starting into some of my BaC models, if only to break up the monotony of all the cultists I'm wading through. Maybe I'll have a small army done by the time the new book arrives. Might add the transfer onto the shoulder or just freehand it. Not sure--I always think transfers look a little too neat if everything else is handpainted.

Black base -> Mid-silver zenithal -> Light silver zenithal -> Multiple coats of Angron Red (or before they had their own paints, Tamiya Clear Red). The dread also got hit with clear blue and clear green after the silver and before the red to further shade it; I actually think it's a bit too much for it.
