I'm already looking at my fairly tiny AdMech collection and thinking "...I want a Battle Maniple." Although I also want SoB allies when they come out. And I only have finite money.

The other limited edition Resins haven't been on pre-order, so I'm not sure that the Cannoness are gonna be sold the same way. Probably gonna be popular though, pre-order if you can.

BuffaloChicken posted:This post, especially in the context of the horror-posts surrounding it, makes me so grateful for you and the rest of our group. Thanks again for helping teach them the game during that first Ham Slam and for keeping their hobby/game balls rolling! I'm painting up the Toxicrene/Maleceptor from you guys right now and can't wait to get in some Genestealer Cult games soon. Yeah, they're a good crew. SRM is also a stand-up guy, and it was loads of fun playing with him when he was down here, even if he did completely wreck my poo poo with that goddamn mortar. Outside of the one guy ANAmal and I were talking about, I don't really have many stories of total shitlords I've gamed with. I've played with plenty of randos at hobby stores in my time, but the biggest problems I've had tended to be all related to having armies of wildly disparate strength, based on having differing ideas about what we wanted to bring to a pick-up game. Which isn't really a problem with them or me, but more a clear issue with the game. Even in the case of the dude putting his Rhino on top of a wall and driving through buildings with a dangerous terrain test I can't really fault him because that was totally allowable in the rules pre-FAQ. And the worst thing that happened in that game was I lost, but he was pretty decent about it. The games weren't much fun, but that tended to be more because "I brought an army that couldn't reasonably kill 3 Imperial Knights" than "My opponent had nazi-themed guardsmen and vomited on the table." That's kind of a bigger challenge with the 40k balance though---it's actually easier to figure out how to build an army for a tournament, where you can get an idea of the "meta" beforehand than it is to figure out a decent "pick up game all comers list" that will be fun but also not wildly out of balance with most opponents.

If it makes you feel better, when I played TheSexCannon he completely wrecked my poo poo with his mortars, so I now know how the other half lives.

Snollygoster posted:pwease no steppy This owns. This also owns. Dark Angels look bad as poo poo in force like that, and I love that their chapter's thing is that they aren't all the same color scheme. I should take some big family portraits like that of my dudes (I have like, half as many as you've got, at the most). VikingSkull posted:hell yeah Those sprues are great, I picked up a couple so that all my non-Dark Vengeance dudes still get a logo on their shoulder pad, and the heads and plasma pistol bits are so cool that I keep using them even though plasma pistols have exploded and killed the user (multiple times a game) more than they've ever done anything useful (cored out a Dreadnought with some lucky sixes, once, ever).

I just don't get why they'd do it in resin? I understand re-doing old metal models in resin and stuff but if it's a new sculpt then why not plastic?

Snollygoster posted:pwease no steppy [bad romance intensifies] Really dig the model. Leg looks just a 'lil off as they've angled it higher than it is in the Blanche piece, kinda disappointed they didn't include the flamethrowers in the boot. But of course they'd release it the same weekend as the Total Warhammer Wood Elves DLC, and a week before I get my Xmas paycheck.  Edit: Just a thought, if this is the third FW limited edition, perhaps this means that FW will be taking over Sisters models/rules? On one hand that means prices will stay the same (or probably go up), but on the other hand that means FW sculpting and FW rules. SteelMentor fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 6, 2016 |

From the community page:Games Workshop posted:This book isn’t accompanying a new range of miniature, but we couldn’t let the release of a new book containing so many awesome sub-factions under the Imperial aegis pass without some sort of model to mark the occasion. So, our Studio Team set sculptor Martin Footit the task of creating an iconic miniature to accompany the book – and he didn’t disappoint. So while we won't see plastic sisters for a while, it looks like they're about to make a bunch of old metal stuff available again.

That model is a great recreation of Blanche's artwork, but something doesn't seem quite right with the face. It could be the angle. TheChirurgeon posted:So while we won't see plastic sisters for a while, it looks like they're about to make a bunch of old metal stuff available again.

There are ways to triumphantly plant a foot on something that are less horny than the execution here.

Safety Factor posted:That model is a great recreation of Blanche's artwork, but something doesn't seem quite right with the face. It could be the angle. Yeah, probably. Honestly they don't need to do that much to make Sisters playable, just 3 plastic kits (sisters and seraphim plus an HQ clampack) to cover the core units and the rest can be metal/resin. The biggest problem with SoB right now is that a 10-woman troop choice costs loving 75 dollars.

Proletariat Beowulf posted:Has anyone here ever ordered from Doc's Discount Game Store? I've been getting my shipments of GSC stuff one box at a time, but I've really been awaiting Deathwatch: Overkill, and passed up quite a few opportunities to snag them for around $120 ($128 from Doc). My Prospero set was "Shipment Picked Up" on Nov 9. but wasn't "Accepted" at USPS until Nov 22. I don't know what the delay was there, but the day after an email, it started moving. I think their biggest issue is that they are becoming victims of their own success, and probably need to take on some help to get the orders out. Snollygoster posted:pwease no steppy I don't play SoBs at all, and yet, I will buy this model, God willing. EDIT: It looks like this is actually sculpted and not some CAD-poo. Gives it character, I say.
