Well, I took a break from building poo poo and got some nice base coating done on my suits.

gently caress that light grey scheme that I was originally going to do, this bare Iridium Armor scheme is looking awesome. Gonna be adding dark red to the army, of course.


Shut the gently caress up that looks super rad!

How do quad launchers compare to thunderfire cannons? Going to pick up a pair for my 30k and curious to see how they do in 40k.


Also, do you think that the new box set will cause the price of land raiders to drop?

I am so excited for Shadow War now that I have seen the race list. Hopefully I can get some games of it going locally, because if it is based on Necromunda it will be a blast.

That terrain is awesome.

They've actually been selling older poo poo at a decent markdown when it's in a box game or bundle - see Lost Patrol, Gangs of Comorragh, or even new poo poo in Death Masque, Renegade, and Deathwatch Overkill. If you want actual price gouging, wait til they break up poo poo from a box like Betrayal at Calth or Prospero.

Every box of that size has been $150, even the one with two Knights, the Knight upgrade sprue, and a Cities of Death building. I'd be sincerely surprised if it was more than that, $200 tops. It's not like the Space Marine Scouts and Ork Boyz sprues haven't paid for themselves at this point. I don't think I need more boyz, but 10 more Neophytes for my Black Templars would be a welcome addition. That terrain rules too.

The Imperial Knights: Renegade boxed set isn't even on sale in Australia, but I can tell you that Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth and Burning of Prospero are a ludicrous $265 dollarydoos each, and they just come with cardboard tiles rather than large pieces of terrain. This thing is going to clear $400 easily

Ah, I'm talking freedombux, not dollarydoos. Those boxes come with shitloads of new models as opposed to Scouts from 4th edition and Orks from 5th edition, neither of which are selling too well these days I imagine.

Surprised that I don't see more vehicles for sale.

On bartertown very few people are selling any vehicles, and on ebay it's either on sprue for a slight discount over retail, or it's a tank with the dumbest loving loadout like turret lascannon and HB sponsons predator, that's missing half the pieces. Or just straight up doesn't have a turret.

Don't know if any of you mentioned it before when we were initially talking about 40k podcasts, but I'm really enjoying frontline gaming's, especially the chapter tactics episodes where they go over 40k in a competitive environment, basically exactly what I was looking for.

Basically yes.

I'm going through my miniatures pile to sell stuff before I move, and I found the Dark Angels Tac squad from Dark Vengeance that I painted when it came out (1 team). I've got the Carcharadons I painted up as well (2 teams), some Chaos Cultists and marines I painted up from DV (3 teams), the Genestealer Hybrids I've just undercoated (4 teams), some Eldar Pirates from Rogue Trader I found in a box (5 teams), some Skitarii Rangers (6 teams) etc etc etc.

They talk about organised play formats which implies campaigns (and talk about Necromunda style skills development for your mans) and talk about the plastic troop boxes for each army ending up as playable.

This is an interesting development. Because everything is in the box or will be downloadable, it removes having to get codices, which Kill Team still has. Buy a box of troops and start playing.

Hmm, I guess depending on a rules review, I may actually give GW money for a thing then.
I like my plastic killy mans games to have campaigns and experience, which Necromunda, Mordheim, Gorkamorka, and 3rd edition 40k (campaigns section, right towards the back), and 4th edition 40k killteam (spec ops vs goons and Big Boss) all allowed for to lesser or greater degrees.
If this is going to go the same route, it may be a good sell, for me.

Stuff like this is a good step on GW's part in terms of creating stuff for people to buy.
Hopefully we'll see more steps like this.
Especially if we get to re-use our KillTeam units in the final release of this and/or also get to see this evolved for Necromunda-specific use, with updates to remove any glaring issues from previous editions of that game/type of game.

The lack of campaign stuff along these lines (experience, death, loot, etc) in other games, either by GW or by other companies, is one of the things that usually ends up making me bounce off those games/companies in the end, and it takes a degree of effort/good design to get me to work past that, so seeing GW do this is really nice :unsmith:

Stupid fucking white man.
Have to agree, while I don't really have the time/inclination/cash to build a full army or attempt to understand all the rules they've added since 3rd, I'd definitely pick up a box of guys and get in to some squad level stuff.

Cultists and Chaos Marines for Chaos, but oddly no tactical Marines. Seems especially odd that Necrons get access to Immortals.

Seems like a good first attempt, but it wouldn't of been that hard to represent Sisters with another page, or Kabalite warriors for Dark Eldar. Hopefully we will see some unit expansion if this succeeds.

It's supposed to be almost identical to NM, so if you're familiar with that, you're golden. They specifically said this does not use 40K rules.

It's an interesting way to get around producing new gangers, while still putting out a "new" game. Hopefully ganger rules will appear in WD or online relatively quickly, like they did with the old BB teams.
