Sold without rules, there'll be a PDF for both 30/40k once they go for sale on the web store. Probably in less than a month, I guess? Honestly this has been a pretty weak event.

Didn't have very high expectations since it was a one day thing on a Sunday. Looks like they went all out with legion wargear upgrades though, the vigil storm shields look amazing, same with the ultramarine boarding shields that even come with gladii and one of those axes.

Oh yeah, it seems like they're seriously considering splitting the Blood Angels and Dark Angels into two books. Flip a coin to find out who's getting stuck with beta rules for an extra year! e. With the smaller base, it first seemed like the Vultarax was not that big. Turns out it's loving huge anyway. Also confirmed to be a flyer (not FMC), that its main gun is haywire, and that much later down the road there will be variants, including a thallax troop transport. Nurgle seriously made them shrivel up. Mango Polo fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jul 17, 2016 |

We are truly the chosen legion I like the idea that they are 'floating around'. Like nobody wants to work on them and they get passed on begrudgingly from one person to another SOME NERD posted:Space Wolves/Inferno. They're satisfied with the majority of the play testing, there's a couple of tweaks in terms of points here and there but the overall feel of all the factions included is where they want it to be. The timeline that was hinted at was they're looking to wrap up the writing and artwork in the next couple of months. The biggest factor in a delay will be getting sufficient stock ready because they're more than aware of the hype and demand already around. As far as the time it's taking to get it ready, they know people are pissed off with the delay, and they fully understand why, but when all is said and done, from a business point of view, to push it through and do it quicker needed more resources than they could throw at it and that would have basically halted everything else. Inferno is going to sell incredibly well but for every person out there who loves the wolves/TS there's 2 who don't give a :cuss so it's economics at the end of the day. I didn't push too far but the vibe I got was they're fed up of the constant complaining they get hit with. It's a lose lose situation. They could have rushed a crappy book out and no models and got hammered or done a proper release and got hammered. There was one fairly animated guy there who made the point that it would have been better to do a Retribution style release for them - that was promptly answered back with "yeah but then there'd be moaning at waiting another 28-28 months for the actual book" Also be warned it's unlikely Bjorn will be given rules - when the book is set he's a nobody, it's only towards the end of the HH that he really rises in prominence.

The most comical part is the explanation for why they didn't fix the obviously broken poo poo. They don't have time to play their own game, rely on vocal fan feedback (sometimes), and don't use external focus testers. Sure does explain a lot.

Jesus please let this be an FAQ. Man I've been getting a lot of good painting and building time in the past couple weeks. I went back and touched up my Justaerin and Horus and goddamn I really skipped a lot of details when I was painting them the first time.

SOME NERD posted:And Big News 2# for all fans of the I Legion. The DA campaign will not be Thramas. There is absolutely nothing written about their activity in the BL series as yet however it's "unbelievably important in the context of the Heresy" As for the DA themselves, whether it's in the first book or one that features them afterwards, all 6 wings of the Hexagramaton will have rules and options of being fielded - Alan wrote the original concept that Gav used in Angels of Caliban and he wants to highlight just how different they are from the Legions who came after. That's likely to include the full scope of their forbidden arsenal and separate rules for fielding the original Terrans who formed the Legion before it was actually a Legion. So variant Glaives and anti grav land raiders are very much on the cards. One of the things they'll try and show with the Lion too is that although he's incredibly noble, that nobility is only the barest glossing over who he really is which is the animal from wild Caliban. Can't wait for them to completely and utterly gently caress up Dark Angels with dumbass bullshit for idiots that no one wants. Dork Angles.

My pics from yesterday's Forge World open day: https://www.facebook.com/796633433721723/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1163395340378862 I put separate posts with pictures of just the new stuff, just the Mastodon, just the new Deredeo weapons, etc., in the 2 big 40K groups and one or two of the Heresy gaming groups on Facebook too. My friend and I got there and were first in line at 6:30 AM...except for a guy from Norway who had gotten there at 4:30 (there was a bunch of noise outside his hotel so he said screw it and just got up). Forge World interviewed me for their video though, right at the start: https://www.facebook.com/ForgeWorldUK/videos/1427400373943905/ I should be recording video of the Mastodon unboxing tonight, I'll try to get it uploaded tonight as well. e: picked up the limited codex book, but Bligh refused to write in a note that would let me take Unbound, boo krushgroove fucked around with this message at 10:48 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Now that there's a color scheme for the thousand sons' mechanibros (thanks krushgroove!) it's time to take my stuff out of obsolescence. Bulba & other Cybernetica players, any thoughts? LC 2000 pts HQ Scoria (315) * Xanathite Abeyant TROOPS Adsecularis Tech-Thralls x20 (95) * Rite of Pure Thought, Caparace Armour Thallax Cohort x8 (400) * Heavy Chainblades, Ferrox Protocol Castellax Maniple x2 (270) * Enhanced Targeting Arrays, Flamers x4, Frag Grenades Castellax Maniple x2 (270) * Enhanced Targeting Arrays, Flamers x4, Frag Grenades FAST ATTACK Vorax Maniple x5 (350) * Frag Grenades HEAVY SUPPORT Thanatar Maniple * Enhanced Targeting Array, Paragon of Metal Normally it'd be kind of bad to only have one Magos, but Scoria's Forbidden Protocols work pretty well for units outside the cortex range. And even though he gives extra VP if killed, well, there's few things that can kill him. I might drop a Thallax to give the rest of the unit melta bombs.

I'd drop the Castellax flamers and give them power blades instead. Having an extra attack goes a long way to make them less of a tarpit in melee. I'd also drop at least two of the thallax bodies. Chainblade thallax with melta bombs are also surprisingly good, but at 2000 points you have so very little ranged support and you need a way to guarantee that Scoria is coming on turn 2 with his vorax boyfriends. An angry tractor would be really useful here. Bio ammo on the vorax as well.

Dropping two thallax, giving the rest melta bombs and switching the castellax to power blades leaves me with 40 left over points. Do you think the bio ammo is really worth it? At 10 points a pop, it feels pretty excessive for maybe one round of shooting. Would love to get a triaros just because I love the models, but to carry the thallax I guess? Dropping a Vorax and 5 zombies and the pain train fits.

Dipping my toes into the waters of a list in planning, please advise. Please keep in mind that this list, like the local 30k meta, almost entirely consists of stuff you can get from the Betrayal box set with some minor additions. There's not a lot of vehicles, for example, and I don't think there are any flyers, so a lot of what's going to be on the field are either footslogging marines or dudes in Rhinos at best. Iron Warriors (Loyalist), 2000 pts ROW: Pride of the Legion HQ Kyr Vhalen - 195 pts Centurion (Siege Breaker) w/artificer armor, plasma pistol, power weapon - 135 pts Troops Veteran Tactical Squad - 20 men, Marksman, 2 heavy bolters w/suspensor webs & shrapnel bolts, vexilla, Sergeant w/artificer armor, power fist, Rhino - 270 pts Veteran Tactical Squad - 20 men, Marksman, 2 heavy bolters w/suspensor webs & shrapnel bolts, vexilla, Sergeant w/artificer armor, power fist, Rhino - 270 pts Veteran Tactical Squad - 20 men, Marksman, 2 heavy bolters w/suspensor webs & shrapnel bolts, vexilla, Sergeant w/artificer armor, power fist, Rhino - 270 pts Elites Tyrant Siege Terminators - 5 men, 5 chainfists - 320 pts Contemptor Dreadnought w/multi-melta - 175 pts Heavy Support Iron Havocs - 5 men, 5 missile launchers - 210 pts Medusa w/Phosphex shells - 155 pts
