Most Necro gangs are a pile of cowards, child soldiers, and permanent injuries, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My Goliath gang, Team MEAT, was pretty great though. In one campaign, Cocktail Weenie went from juve to ganger to champion, and every time someone I was playing against had a gunslinger, he'd kill them with his scoped bolter. A guy in my group even got excited and modeled up an old Van Saar mini with two bolt pistols to reflect his new skills, and then turn one I plunk him from 30" away and he falls to his death. Necromunda is a good loving time you guys.

Strong mix of melta and flamers keep them relevant; Exorcists can eat flyers despite not having Skyfire. Ally in a Knight to round out their lack of options (and to include Skyfire, really). That said, it's still really obvious they're operating on a 6th ed codex, particularly given how all their not!psyker abilities are LD-based still; additionally, they have received no update or additional material, publications, or formations.

Blood Angels force I like these matchups, tau and necrons, marines and chaos, eldar and orcs. But drat, GW is seriously pushing the fliers. Are they crazy profitable or just not selling well or what is going on?

I don't know the prices on those bundles but I assume they're like the Knight box, just a way to sell cheaper pairs of models, plus the more flyers that are out there the more of the flyer rulebook they may sell.

Rumor is that they're $75 US each. GW doesn't do sales, but all the bundles where you get more stuff for less money are a neat way to work around that.

Still a good deal, but not "poo poo I have to buy one of these with a friend right now" amazing. You basically get a 20-30% discount on the flyer (depending on the box) if you split it with a friend (and toss out the other stuff, which will happen 100% of the time). http://www.spikeybits.com/2016/06/gws-new-july-releases-teaser-revealed.html E: GW has also said that they'll be releasing rules for every flyer out there alongside these new box sets, so that'll be cool.

moths posted:This is the direction I'm eventually going, once I figure out what stuff I still have and where I left it. Yeah probably exactly that. Quick battlescribe-fu: 3x Knight Warden Cannoness 2x5 sisters, heavy flamer in MM Immolators 3x exorcists 1825. Some bling or swap the heavy flamers for 2x meltaguns and the immolator back to a heavy flamer brings you to 1845 so like a melta bomb on the Cannoness. It's not a GT winner but it's pretty drat solid.

When I moved to the UK I had to learn how to make my own good Mexican and Texan food, but since I've been here there's been an influx of American food and the junk food like Cheetos, Snapple and loads of other brands are much easier to get, even in shops. The point is, you can get recipes online to make whatever you want. If you have the space to cook what you want it's awesome to make your own version of home-cooked food.

So my Decimator that I bought from some guy on facebook on a whim arrived today. I have to say, I wasn't really that big of a fan of the model based on pictures, but in person, it is extremely awesome. I wonder if the Brass Scorpion is in a similar vein, as it looks odd in pictures, but I can see it looking really awesome in person.

Just finished another Deathwatch Mans. This is my modeled version of Kreger Thann, a Red Scorpions Apothecary-Sergeant. In the fluff, he's a badass at creating toxins and poisons and is obsessed with making a toxin that will kill Tyranids. I wanted to do a DW Apothecary, and I figured he'd definitely have to be a Red Scorpion. Legs/sword arm are from Vanguard Veteran kit.

With the shorter range I figured they would be too tricky to position and use effectively. I haven't gotten to play regularly since fifth edition though, so maybe I'm over-thinking it.

It's as risky as it is effective; I just saw that the Inferno pisols were 6" in range, sooo  Whoops. Pretty terrible for 15 points apiece.

My brother-in-law is returning to the game after a year or so of being unavailable and thus we are having a 1500pt match this weekend. I was thinking of dusting off the ol' Imperium and using a mix of armies for some flavor against his Eldar force. Here's what I'm considering currently: Cult Mechanicus Combined Arms Detachment (820pts) HQ: Techpriest Dominus 105pts Troops: 3x Kataphron Destroyer 165pts (180pts) ++Grav-cannon ++3x Cognis Flamer 15pts 3x Kataphron Breacher 150pts Lord of War: Knight Warden 385pts Adeptus Astartes: Salamanders Combined Arms Detachment (680pts) HQ: Tech-Marine 65pts (90pts) ++Servo Harness 25pts Troops: 10x Tactical Space Marine 140pts (190pts) ++Multi-melta 10pts ++Flamer 5pts Rhino 35pts 10x Tactical Space Marine 140pts (200pts) ++Gravgun 15pts ++Combi-grav 10pts Rhino 35pts 5x Tactical Space Marine 70pts (125pts) ++Flamer 5pts ++Combi-flamer 10pts Drop Pod 40pts Heavy Support: Stalker 75pts He loooves Wraithknights (who doesn't  ) so I know I'm going to want some grav. Beside that I figured it might be a nice time to try a Stalker for his Wave Serpents/Flyers. I figured the Tech-marine would hop in the Drop Pod for a back-line suicide mission to nuke any D-weapon artillery or snipers. Thoughts?Edit: I had mixed up the names of the Hunter/Stalker vehicles in my head. Stalkers are the ones that are at least decent for their price.

Bonus to Blessing of the Omnissiah and It will not Die on your vehicle. Plus, it's a wee bit fluffier, when allied with Cult Mech.

jadebullet posted:Your Deathwatch stuff is definitely awesome. I love that it has such color to it as opposed to the usual "shoulder pads is the only color" thing that some people do. Thanks! One of the things I've been trying to do is preserve the ornamentation colors of the chapter--so bone in the case of the Ravenwing, White for the Raven Guard, and Dark yellow for the Red Scorpions. I think it helps maintain the chapter identity a bit better while also not getting too far off the Deathwatch aesthetic. The big challenge with these guys is that if you add too much color, they stop looking like a uniform force and become a clown brigade of bright, mismatched colors.

Does anyone know of some good models that would work for an Ork Weirdboy? I know there are companies like Kromlech that do cool stuff regarding basic boyz and meganobz, bit I haven't found much for 3rd party weirdboyz.
