Cross posting from the Oath thread:    I really like that PHR color scheme, it lets me get something good-looking with simple techniques. like 80% of the effort is fixing those lines/dots.

Is anyone sitting on a blister of the resistance london bus promo from 2015? I'm trying to locate a pair of them and willing to part with some dollars to acquire it.

No real way yet to know if its true, but someone posted on a Dropfleet Facebook community page that Hawk told him that Dropfleet is currently being packaged and is waiting for a few printed things to arrive. He also said that Hawk will be shipping the resin Scourge space station upgrade kit separately as it is running behind and they don't want to delay shipping the rest of the kickstarter to wait for one kit.

Brückenkopf has some new Dropfleet pics from gencon, including painted stations and a bunch of new battleships.

Yeah, it looks like some evil bug. I'm still not sure whether I want to gloss my Scourge ships or not. I like the look of the shine.

I'm not actually a fan of the Scourge battleship. It's just too insectoid compared to their gorgeous cruisers. That PHR battleship is a thing of beauty though.

Falcons are 50pts. E8, 2SH, 3ACC, or E6 with AA. Hazards are now E6 and Phoenix nerf went through and they lost demolisher.

Flipswitch posted:E: Anyone here used Mortars? They seem a bit ???, not sure why I'd fit these guys into a list right now. The tactical theory is that they can effectively lock down troops in an opponents building preventing them from manning the walls and using sniper rifles and the like. Situationally this is good, but it probably won't be as useful as spending those points on something more versatile which I think is why they aren't seeing more use.

Might just be shiny new models syndrome but I kind of want to test the Broadsword and Falcon-B together in a battlegroup, they're fairly independent of each other. Kind of want a second Broadsword too. These are the errata changes from the book: UCM -UCM Flak Team +6" R(c) and R(f) -Hazard Suits +3P, -1E for their weapon -Retaliator L-3 instead of L-2 for the Missile Cluster -Phoenix Missile Battery lost Demo-2 Scourge -Vampires -2P -Screamer S+C changed to 1 instead of 1-2, wide. -Oppressor -5P got the Walker special rule. PHR -Valkyries +2P -Medusa Black Nanomaschine Sourge -1E Shaltari -Ronin -1P -Samurai -3P -Pungari +3P -Gharial +10P Resistance -Mehmed +3P Flipswitch fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Aug 5, 2016 |

A little sad about the nerf to the Phoenix, but the Hazards suits were a little on the to good side - they were great for hammering buildings. The flack teams could make a nasty surprise for your enemies now. Making Vampires cheaper is good, same for the Oppressor - he was a little over-costed compared to similar large walkers. Basically, these all look like good changes.

Was talking with Simon about the Phoenix change a while ago at the tournament we had here, like I didn't like it getting nerfed, but I find the Pheonix really hard to gauge on how good it is. It's got a lot of things going on but nothing individually that wows me I guess? apart from those missiles, but to be fair he did admit they derped hard on the missiles and didn't think of Demo/Templates when they published the rules of it.

The Phoenix is a swiss army knife of flying death. It has a weapon for everything and seems to be able to use most of them at once. Taking demo off it is a small thing and it isn't as if UCM struggle to knock stuff down.

No big deal if not but itll be a bit til i get my hands on the book. Can't quite Recall Wade's stats but the Broadsword is E11, R(C)24", AC 2+, SH1 & Devastator-2. A10, 4DP, MF4 for 71pts.

Nobody going to mention that Resistance and PHR can now take a boosted-Shaltari Firedrake as a command choice, as long as they have another commander lvl-3 or higher ?

I think you can only take it as a Heavy choice unfortunately. The Mercenary rule about having another commander is only for Shaltari themselves.

Your right - he's a heavy choice - 'Armies containing Seti must also contain another commander of higher Command value, and Seti himself is a Heavy choice. Seti may also be taken as a Heavy choice in Resistance or PHR armies' To me that says they (Res and PHR) still need a 3+ commander, as it doesn't say Shaltari armies... maybe Flipswitch can clarify with Simon ? ...(edit) that's a point - as he's a Heavy for all armies, does the CV radius etc count when fielded with Res or PHR... (Edit again) - Yes he does, as the text says to use opaque deck protectors with other armies, so the special commander cards don't stick out as shaltari ones Renfield fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Aug 6, 2016 |
