It is just a matter of time until the netlists take over. The key to 8th is how quickly and decisively GW reacts.

Is there a guide anywhere as to the rough equivalence of power level and points, and what the more common power levels are for matches (like the old 1000/1500/1850/2000 etc)?

Using bigger bases than you're supposed to should be universally accepted anyway, since having a bigger base is basically an objective downgrade.

Been looking for examples of Primaris conversions as I plan my new school / old school Crimson Fists. First MKVI head I have seen on one. Was worried about the gorget but I think it turned out well. Thoughts on this one? I imagine the Inceptors will be the hardest to pull off. http://www.adpublishing.de/html/primaris.html

Played another 1K game last night with Necrons vs Orks. Felt a lot more tactical now that we're leveraging falling back. I still reckon alternating activations in each phase would make the game stronger, but I'm still liking it more. We also dropped any empty beer cans on the table at the end of every game turn, scattering 4D6" from the centre and inflicting D3 mortal wounds wherever they landed, thereafter becoming LoS blocking terrain. I strongly recommend this practice.

Emperor's Children. While i was painting a few of these at my FLGS, a few people commented they liked them, but could never bring themselves to field a pink army, thus giving me more confidence that this was the correct decision. Going to do the bases with flowers as well. (Thanks whomever posted the flower links earlier!) Also, here is my terminator sorcerer with a female human head.

Soldier o Fortune posted:Looks good. Would you benefit from Vox casters to ensure you can get orders to the right units when needed? And perhaps at least one Commissar to keep those squads in the game? Plan is to have one company commander hang out with the psyker and commissar amongst the three units of guard. It shouldn't be too hard to make sure they all stay in coherency and within 6" of the buff characters. The second commander will be in a chimera with the plasma vets and a vox. The meltavets have vox too and are basically the only unit likely to need vox.

So about 20 times the PL is your point value. Not entirely but close enough in most cases. Most matches so far are either 50 or 100 that I've seen, with 75 being a good middle ground that people aren't quite keen on using yet. Your first match in 8th should probably be 50 if only because it might take you a bit to learn the rules if you have to keep checking what each new unit has in terms of stats. Edit: Well, looks like Kroot Hounds and Vespid are all out on the US GW site. Guessing the new points costs are affecting what models are being sold. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jun 24, 2017 |

Had an interesting chat with GW customer service. Put an order in for some 8th release stuff and since I rarely order from their website I threw in some online only stuff, Legion of the Damned and Seth Gabriel. I get the order yesterday with no Seth, I call them up and they say he was out of stock but they wanted to send the rest out and follow up with Seth when he's back in. All well and good but there was no communication about it, Seth was on the dispatch invoice with no mention that he shouldn't have been in the box and then this morning I get notification of a brand new order of just Seth. I've got tons of good encounters with GW but this just seems kind of shady, like they're not even allowed to admit fault anymore.

I don't know, a few months back my local GW staffer had massive issues with shipping and ordering things, which we'd chalked up to him and his friends/coworkers being way overworked, since they started getting orders wrong, stuff didn't appear when ordered and there was a lot less communication going on. Turns out the fault lay with the regional supplier who for some reason had completely dropped the ball for quite a while and things returned to normal a few months into 2017, presumably after re-negotiations or some kind of overhaul of staff. Haven't had an issue since and always felt like the local rep did their best to get me what I wanted as soon as they could. Heck even 8th edition which was expected to be an issue what with how much stuff was being ordered went off more or less without a hitch aside from running out of stock and a mix-up between two similar orders that was resolved the same day. Yours might be a local issue or regional supplier as it was with me. Don't think GW really gives their staff any instructions beyond how to push as many models as possible for dumb reasons.

The more I think about it the more annoyed I am that bigmarines can't use normal marine transports. I would totally pick up another Stormraven right now except that it will be useless for what will likely be the vast majority of the new Space Marine releases. Maybe we'll get lucky and GW will come to their senses when the codex hits...

I could understand land raiders and maybe stormravens, but keep them out of my rhinos. Besides, they're getting their own dumb hovertank and are supposedly getting a flying transport too.
