THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Weekend after the convention, no one I demoed for and who said they were interested showed up.

In talks with the few remaining members of the community, they all have 4th edition 40k armies that we're talking about taking out of the attic. Getting started on a horus heresy army.

I have a steamroller set for april 9th, doing as much advertising as I can. The store is ordering a pin set for prize support. If no one shows up then I'm going to start selling stuff. I'll keep my main armies, Khador Protectorate and Skorne. Already in talks with someone to sell my pirates off.

That sucks to hear, man. Good luck with getting the game going in your community.

I'm also going to be slimming back, but keeping the stuff I enjoy playing out of Trollbloods. The rest of it I'll have to let go. Not really having any issues with the game, I just can't play as much as i'd like and will be moving soon. I don't want to have to move a bunch of stuff. I'm trimming down to just what fits in a bag.

What's the deal with the House Shyeel Arcanists? They seem a lot like Arcanist Mechaniks. I guess their repair is slightly different? Or is this basically a sly way to push Arcanists past FA:3 without making them FA:U?

Any theories?

Not a Ret player, but I was chatting with my friend who is, and I hypothesized that the Shyeel thing might suggest they have a force magic-related power in addition to repair/Empower, to differentiate them from Mechaniks.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Shyeel is the shield jacks right? They probably do something with those

Yeah wouldn't be surprised to see them able to repair shields or something along those lines, or gives bonuses to jacks with generators

Or they could go the 40k route and your faction won't get a new book for 2 editions, just have all of your stuff ported over to each new edition, becoming more and more out of date each time.

Ret started out with fewer models. They have to double up to get to sku bloat in a reasonable time.

Isn't Ret also smaller than most of the other "full" factions because it came later? Playing catchup yo


In other news, I saw the Sea King price and just nope. Not paying $145 for a model, not a chance, never.

yeah but you actually make your models look pretty, i have the visual creativity of a four year old and anything i touch with a paint brush will look like i literally finger painted the mini, possibly with my own poo

ive never painted anything because i know everything i paint will look wretchedly terrible and i fear the intermediary steps between "not doing anything" and "doing something that doesnt look horrible"

I played Necrons for 2.5 editions until they became unplayable prior to the new codex, but quit before the new codex came out(Hey, lets make it so glancing hits on vehicles can't wreck them. Who cares that Necrons literally have 2 models capable of doing a pen on any vehicle that isn't dark eldar).

More specifically, I'm a Dark Elves player who solely fought against bretonnia, lizardmen, and empire, and who got to experience the joy of an edition change making all of my stuff cheaper, giving my crossbows armor piercing, giving my special units Str4, and giving all my guys re-rolls on to-hit. Bwuh huhuhuhh

And then the stupid end times came around and turns out I was the good guys the whole time

To put this back on track, my FLGS has a running inside joke that Mk.3 is end times, and is currently awaiting the fourth caster of the apocalypse. The three others are Old Witch, 4Shade, and Tri-Caine.

My money is on Haley and Denny merging into a super caster.

I might be tempted to do this, just to get me out of my sameness for what's currently on my table. I'll post a sampling of my Legion, Circle, and Protectorate when I get home. I'm probably not going to win any awards, but they'll at least be above tabletop quality :shrug:

Speaking of Cygnar stuff, I bought the new 50 point box and so I will at long last own Trenchers. Do you Cygnar players (who like me don't own Storm Lances) tend to field them with the CA? It looks to me like you'd always want them, if for no other reason than the extra guns for CRAing, but I can't quite tell how critical they are. I mean, I'm going to get them no matter what.

The only time I don't bring the CA is when I can't afford it in points. For me, Trenchers are a filler spot when I don't know what else to put in a list. The only caster I feel they are MANDATORY with is Haley 3

Of course, ever since themes dropped, I've been running nothing but Heavy Metal and Storm Division. They don't allow Trenchers, so mine have been shelved for as a result.

I've only really run them with Haley 3 so I've never bothered with the CA. Usually they smoke up for a couple of turns and then jam once the lines are close. I rarely get to CRA with them because of this.
