So the AM index includes Renegades and Traitors, looks like once you get that you can include traitor guard in your chaos.

Frontline Games has the Dark Imperium Box Set for $136 with free shipping. Are they a pretty legit site?

I'm still trying to decide if I want to update my 4th ed. Night Lords army or start something else. I built them for fast movements. Lots of Raptors, every squad had a Rhino, and a winged Lord. Worth sticking with it in 8th, or more fun to build up something else maybe?

They're the people that have been writing the faction focuses, which have been pretty cheesy, but I guess legit. But yeah, their business side is legit too, I've ordered from them a few too many times.

They're the biggest independent online retailer of Warhammer stuff and also the people who run the ITC. They are probably the most legit. Edit: Just prepaid for my Dark Imperium box. Gonna wait on the Space Marine Index. My store is doing a raffle to win your choice of Dark Imperium box, Index set, or store credit. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jun 3, 2017 |

I am peeved that the bone sword on the hive tyrant isn't better, and/or doesn't synergize with the scything talons in any way. The Bonerwhip is kind of lame too. If you want CC you are better off with twin-scything, which is also a ton cheaper. That and the flyrants go to weapon is now the deathspitter. 12 points for +1S/-1AP shots is a no brainer. Old One Eye is legit. 5 attacks rerolling 1s, hitting on 2+, with the berzerk rule means he should have problem getting out 8-9 hits.

One thing specified, units that can attack twice per fight phase, is it two in a row or you fight once, your opponent chooses a unit, then you can choose them again.

I have Night Lords as well, 20 raptors, five warp talons, one winged lord an D prince. The new deep strike lets them just set down an assault you basically just need to roll like an 8 with the melee range, I could be wrong. The Talons deep strike the same but they have a special version thst doesn't allow over watch. You could dump them, the lord, an have them charge, negate OW then jam other stuff into the same thing, it looks neat in theory. They even have a army list dealie set to run mostly fast attack. That could be right up your alley.

Funzo posted:The standalone rule book for SW:A has campaign rules. Otherwise I believe they're available online for free. The SW:A campaign rules are a complete joke compared to Necromunda, is the point. Those don't count. They're basically "oh poo poo you wanted to play campaign? Uh, wins get you a cache, spend a chache for 100 points, first to 15 caches wins" that's not a campaign dude. Have you played Necromunda?

I'm kinda confused, if you take the deathspitter or devourer for the flyrant, it says you get 2 of them, and the stats listed are for one. So do you get twice the shots or no? In that case if you swap both your scything talons for 2 pairs of deathspitters or devourers do you get 4 times the shots? GW did you even proofread this poo poo?

For_Great_Justice posted:I have Night Lords as well, 20 raptors, five warp talons, one winged lord an D prince. This was brought up before but you will need to roll a 9 for assaulting deep strike units. You must be more than 9" away and you must end within 1". Rolling an 8 will always leave you just outside charge range. If you want to deepstrike and assault, get your CP ready for rerolls.

VolatileSky posted:I only got tau back in 3rd edition because RAILGUNS. But after a couple years I sold the army because it was getting boring. Setup firing lines and overlapping fire with broadsides/firewarrios, wait for them to advance, jump suits around. It was usually easy wins except deep strikers. Thought you were honestly talking about me for a second, didn't think I was that scruffy in my early 20s, I mean I did shave every couple days atleast. I don't think so, unless you're six and a half feet tall, are from central Nova Scotia (and currently reside there).

Yeah, it is written oddly. Though you swap one (or both) scything talons for 2 deathspitter/devourer, paying double (or 4 times) the cost. This will let you shoot at 4 different targets if you want... though you probably wouldn't want to unless you are fishing for moral tests. Again, it is odd that double scything is so much better than scything/bonesword for about 20 points cheaper. It is worth it on warriors, but a massive sink on the Tyrant. Plus bonerwhips being fairly lovely unless you want to shove warriors into a nurgle lord or anything else with a Damage 3 weapon.

Zaphod42 posted:Those don't count as 'cannons' I'm hoping the terminators and their heavy flamer can get some work done. And the razorback has two assault cannons which should make a dent. Most likely scenario though is genestealers ripping everything apart. With Might of Heroes though my contemptor dread should be able to go toe-to-toe with any of his MCs. I decided to go with vanguard detachment because that let me drop the scout squad to turn my assault marines into a vanguard squad, though now that I look at that I'm thinking I'll want the volume of attacks and bodies more than the quality of attacks the power weapon vanguard has. If I can put them into the warriors though my thunder hammer sergeant can crunch the entire unit by himself. Most of the MCs wound my tanks on a 5+, so it's not too bad, the razorback and predator will be pretty tough. Trygon is a different story but at T6 my plasma and assault cannons can tear it up hopefully. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Jun 3, 2017 |

Running the spearhead detachment, you can run a list with Old One Eye, and 18 carnifexes. It is battle forged and totally legal. Granted, those fexes are all decked out with Double Talons and Bone Maces.

pre-ordered the rulebook from my local GW, got asked why I wasn't buying the box, why I wasn't buying Index's, or objectives. Mentioned I'll get the index's digitally, because they'll be replaced, got told I wasn't helping support the community, and I may as well get the rule book digitally.  time to find a new store.

Pushy GW staff are the worst and generally tend to be the ones every other employee hates as well. That mode of thinking isn't even properly pushed by the company any more, at least from what I've seen, it only seems to be a few obnoxious holdouts.

Out of curiosity I just converted a 2000 point list into power points and it came out to 100 exactly which is actually pretty neat. I'm sure it's super exploitable in a competitive game but the power points honestly don't seem bad.

So far our two 2000 point lists my group has made are really close. Mines 1989 points and 102 power. His is 1992 and 98 power. Power seems honestly good enough for my relatively casual group at a first glance.

Pendent posted:Out of curiosity I just converted a 2000 point list into power points and it came out to 100 exactly which is actually pretty neat. The general guideline is that 1 power = 20 points. Power seem to be based off the base cost of the models plus about half of the possible upgrades. I think they're a fine way to do points if you don't want to gently caress around with regular wargear and just do a wsiwyg game with models you assembled back in 2nd/3rd edition, or if you and your opponent are both just maxing out on upgrades. Like WoM said, it's really just an alternate points system that's less granular, and I'm generally OK with that because I don't like worrying about 1-point differences between a power axe and a power sword.

There's a story in the novel Creed where a Sentinel pilot sees demons racing towards him and overwhelming the others in his unit, so he takes out his service pistol and puts it in his mouth.
