Quick question. Can a Chaos Sorceror without a mark join a unit that does have a mark?

Custodes getting into the conflict would be awesome, and that's really the only way to justify it in the fluff. And we have seen there are custodes models coming, so this actually sounds plausible?

I'm not quite sure from reading the article but I can't see that happening. GW might be a bit tone deaf sometimes, but I doubt they'd squat a predominantly female army when there are no other alternatives. Also it's a huge part of the background and lore and they appear in fiction a fair bit.

Right, if anything the recent high quality and fan-service heavy releases like Genestealers make it more likely SoB will be renewed, not less.

I think that it is less that Sisters of Silence would replace SoBs, but that SoSs have been on Terra, likely assisting the Custodes in the protection of the Emperor. More of a retroactive history change, rather than a replacement. The writer seems to think that SoBs would be discontinued as a result, but the way GW is going, I would expect SoSs to just be added as either a new army or some sort of detachement. Worst case, SoBs get folded in. Weren't the SoSs all psychic Nulls?

Considering the Amazon listings for the future Beast Arises books spoiled the SoS's getting wiped out, I doubt they're coming back outside of HH. Honestly, rumours like these make me think someone saw the upcoming Burning of Prospero box with it's plastic Custodes and spun out a fanfiction for 5 seconds of Internet fame.

Apparently the Strike Force Ultima formation benefit is that everything Deep Strikes, auto arrives in turn 1, all infantry must be embarked on transports, and all non vehicle units gain +1 to the rate of fire for their weapons. So Rapid Fire 2/3 Bolters, Assault 3 Storm Bolters, etc....

I am glad the Tough Fighters have another formation to add to their groaning banquet table of options to do the Toughest Fighting faster and better than everyone else. Christ, how do Ork players make it through a day without Broken Loose-style meltdowns when they see this stuff?

But still, two flamer shots is wild. This one's a no-brainer: +1 shot is significantly better than twin linked. With twin-linked shooting, your chance of getting a hit goes from 67% to 89%, whereas with two shots, your chance of getting one hit is 89%, and you have a 44% chance of getting two hits, whereas you have a 0% chance to do that with twin-linked shots.

If a unit that inherently has rending attacks with a weapon that does not(like say, a keeper of secrets daemon), does the weapon have rending as well? Or does the unit only have rending if they use their base attacks w/out weapon. I just ordered a KoS as I slowly get back into hobby and wanna make sure I am not a dirty cheater! *edit* While I am asking, say this weapon is ap3, does the smash bonus from being a monstrous creature overwrite it or is it stuck at ap3?

I think Horace meant is two shots twin-linked or 3 shots better.

If the model has the rending special rule then all attacks with any weapon gain the benefit: quote:If a model has the Rending special rule, or is attacking with a Melee weapon that has the Rending special rule, there is a chance that his close combat attacks will strike a critical blow. For each To Wound roll of a 6, the target automatically suffers a Wound, regardless of its Toughness. These Wounds are resolved at AP2. Smash special rule grants ap2 for all attacks regardless of weapon, unless that weapon is ap1 then you get to keep it. This is for normal attacks and not the special "smash attack profile" which is different (and generally worse since only one attack is not enough) quote:All of the close combat attacks, except Hammer of Wrath attacks, of a model with this special rule are resolved at AP2 (unless it’s attacking with an AP1 weapon). To be extra clear, you gain the bonuses of rending and smash if you keeper of secrets is using a weapon like one from the rewards table, even if that weapon is ap3 or does not have rending. It is not only for the model's naked/weaponless attacks. WhiteOutMouse fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Anyone know anything about electric dremels? Would make drilling poo poo much easier. I'd need one which could hold tiny heads for pinning and bigger ones for magnetising. UK based. Not something I'd thought about before but it could be super super handy.

Your chances of missing on three shots is slightly higher--3.7% vs. 1.3%, but on average, you're going to get 2 hits vs. 1.78 with a pair of twin-linked shots. And again, you have a 30% chance to get 3 hits on 3 shots, and a 0% chance to do that with 2 twin-linked shots.

berzerkmonkey posted:Agreed. Also, with plastic, you're more than likely to either drill a hole through the part or through your finger. Using a pin vise, while more work for you, is going to work a lot better. If you're really stuck on the Dremel though, there are battery versions that might have a lower RPM/torque that may work. A battery operated screwdriver might also work, as long as it has a chuck that will accept drill bits. I somehow once managed to drill a hole through my finger even though I was using a pin vise

I have used a dremel for drilling holes for magnets and to sand down large pieces of resin. It works fine for that. Make sure you get one that has the cord pen attachment thing where you can put the dremel on the desk and attach the drill bit or sanding tip to the pen part which makes working on small models feasible. Never used it for pinning, not sure that small of drill bits will fit.

I've had luck using a pin vice or knife to carve out a starter hole, then using that to guide the dremmel. Even then, use the dremmel on a very low RPM and be ready for something to go wrong. Also wear protective eyewear! Tiny hobby drill bits aren't intended for stress - They will snap and come at your face like an eye-seeking missile.

I could see it being useful for like, metal figures, but on resin and plastic you're way more likely to make a mistake or melt/warp the surrounding area. I'd say just invest in a more comfortable pin vise and high quality drill bits.
