TheChirurgeon posted:they kind of don't need a rule for this--if you just surround the enemy with hormogaunts, they literally can't retreat being able to surround the enemy is gonna take a couple of turns though barring them positioning their stuff shoulder to shoulder, you'd have to form a circle with no gaps >=2" through 3" consolidation moves on activation. Though now I think about it thats actually super rad if you can pull it off.

I guess thats how positioning matters now, depending on how they set up their squad you could pull off a pincer charge and completely enclose a unit.

If your charge roll is high enough you can surround the vehicle with a single Fight phase

DO IT TO IT posted:I assume stuff with the Fly keyword like Tau battlesuits can still fall back even if there's stuff locked on all sides of them. Probably, the rule only needs to say "can move over enemy units". Then the challenge is enclosing them in deeper than 7" of troops on all sides. I love how elegant AoS/8th ed rules are for stuff like that. No more nested conditionals.

It looks like someone told Frankie that his faction previews didn't have enough rules in them, so he went ahead and dropped more than any preview so far. I will forgive your weird crab-lady post, because I'm weak and these daily rules previews are like hits of drugs to me.

I want to see Orks get something like 'if enemy fall back from combat they take D6 S4 hits, +D6 per full 10 models in the Ork unit' Actually tbf I could see Kroot Hounds getting something like that, iirc they already have some sort of rule like that.

Right, and the battery packs are recharged endothermically I believe. There were bits in the old codex about guardsmen recharging their packs by leaving them in the evenings cooking fire.

I keep asking FW but they never reply. I wish their FB page was as good as GW's. Also, gently caress you GW for making Trygons actually good now. My wallet is hurting enough without you making my idea of a Tremors themed Nid army viable.

So if you ever get in a car accident report your models that get broken! I just got $730 (full retail price) for every single model that was damaged. They gave me full retail for stuff that had only minor damage to ( wave serpent with a gun that snapped off, arms falling off marines, stuff like that) since I don't think they had the context to really access value and it was just cheaper for them to give me retail than to figure it out. Looks like my ultra big marine force just got a boost in financing!

I made an effortpost battle report on a game I played back in January with my friend back in Alaska. I felt like uploading it to an imgur album, if anyone would like to take a look and tell me what they think. Tabletop Simulator is actually remarkably useful for playing games when both players know the rules. http://imgur.com/a/sHERN edit: Apologies that I didn't save pictures of my friend's list, that is generally a useful thing to do

So if you get a finecast model with an air bubble in an even slightly tricky place (Like the strap of Ajax hammer) definitely take a picture of it and send it to customer support. I'm apparently getting a completely new model shipped to me, even though I only emailed then asking for any tips on how to fill the small gap

Just listened to the newest badcast and loved it. Easily my favorite 40k podcast. The loving "baka" part of the fanfic made me spontaneously shout "Oh what the gently caress" loud enough people turned to look to see what was upsetting me. Explaining it would have been worse than the actual fanfic so I just let it happen. The story of magnus is fantastic, but the usage of "wet leopard growl/purr" in Burning of Prospero was painful and over abundant.

Just saw this on Facebook. Might be of interest to somebody: Some Yaboo on Facebook Hey Warhammer 40,000 i got a very deeply troubling question..... i run elysians but have seen them be pulled back from production pending Forge World review..Forge Worldout paratrooper armies like them or scions? Also can we expect them to retain their flavor and place in 40k?? Many thanks Warhammer 40,000 Hey Yabbo - indeed, the Elysians are undergoing a range review right now. The guys at Forge World will be writing rules for them in the new edition, as they are current models. What that looks like, or what rules they will have, well we don't know right now. You might want to chat to Customer Service about the range review and what is staying in the range etc; fire them an email to forgeworld@gwplc.com.
