Edit: not that yours don't look good though! And I'm sure demo + heavy flamers is a relatively good choice.

The Bee posted:Hive Crones don't have the Supersonic pivot rule, at least, so you could theoretically fly right back around in a big circle. However, that would probably just get you counter-charged next turn, so if wanting to go all-in on wing slashes it's probably best to take a large move and return fire, then charge the turn after. Units with a minimum move have to end their movement at least that far away from the starting position, so you can't just double back around and not move. You are forced to fall back.

And those don't have their own, awkward movement phase rules stapled on. Or their own pseudophase the GW keeps trying to make happen.

Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out what their best uses are. I gave 'em flamethrowers because they're gonna get stuck in, or they're gonna be out in front to soak up horde charges.

Terror troops and psychological warfare isn't alien to the Imperium. The reivers are a return to the norm. In the Horus Heresy each legion maintained units that specialized in the use of terror tactics, rad weapons, or bio weapons. There are stories of compliance being enforced solely through a world learning of these terror tactics. Even the Ultramarines had destroyer cabals.

I'm jumping into 8th after a long hiatus with the cool new AdMech models, but in running into some problems. Is it just me, or are the new, more detailed plastic kits way more finicky and hard to assemble? Maybe in just spoiled by my old Cadians, who I could mix and match with reckless abandon. But skitaari seem like you have to match the pieces from each pose, and there's tons of sprue that needs to be cleaned off of each delicate, detailed piece.

The move to CAD designs meant they could put far more detail into each miniature, but also meant they moved to less posable, less customisable miniatures.

I have 50 painted cadians and another 100 unpainted ones I need to get around too. The unpainted ones will serve as conscripts. When I get around to them I'll probably paint a stripe down their armor similar to the whiteshields.These will be my first games of 8th So I'm bringing as much of my collection as I can carry to try and experiment with different units and see what all works over 2-3 games.

I have a tourney today, 1k points, one "Patrol" detachment only. Mission will be secure and control (the old one objective each, auto tie). You can get up to one bonus command point for being fully painted or fully WYSIWYG. I had been playing a lot of my demons so I wanted to try out my night lords:  I was building my own spreadsheets to make my lists, then that webpage builder was good enough, but then it went under, so I am back to this... I figure the bikes and raptors will be fluffy while I get to play with two Demon Princes (my fav unit and models). I am worried it is a little too strong since I can reliably get 2+ to hit rerolling 1s on the biker unit, and it could move somewhere between 28 inches on the first turn and assault something with a lot of chainswords. I'll try to take pics and report back how the event went.

Well, I played my first 8th ed game, 120 PL I brought some of my tanks  Against some of a friend's tanks  On this table  I don't really have much to show as I was on the defensive. Some shots of various turns.     Highlights include: My dice rolling still sucks. Watching my opponent overheat both Executioners in their first shots. Loosing my Punisher's last two wounds to lasguns. My Hydra overwatch killing a charging Demolisher. Vehicular melee is hilarious. All in all, had a great time.

See, I wouldn't really mind the overheat rule if the executioner was ok without supercharging (plasma guns definitely are for their price). But it sucks. Clearly worse than a demolisher.thesurlyspringKAA posted:Also, I saw scout sentinels used to great effect in a batrep recently.

I've used mine similarly to push back the available deepstriking space (my tyranid opponent had lictors and trygons waiting) and it works well. Only caveats are that it's basically resigning the First Blood objective, and I want to get out of the mindset of always starting my IG list by building a brigade. Comd points over a certain point can't be worth more than taking effective units to fulfill a given plan.

New Primaris dudes still cool, weird how the captain gets a bunch of shooty options yet only a single melee option (Sword or eat poo poo), that's new for HQ characters. Another weird thing is that the Matched Play rules on their store pages say that both can be taken by the Deathwatch, but the Indexes say Deathwatch can't take any Primaris. I'm pleasantly surprised if they've changed their mind, but it certainly is odd. SteelMentor fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Jul 1, 2017 |

There was rumbling of the lieutenant kit being the one with the actual options in it, like the old commander kit. This one just seems analogous to the current captain with the combi grav and sword.

Once again looking at FW rules and I am not entirely sure why you'd bother getting a bunch of these units. Heavy Gun Drones for instance puts out less shots as an equivalent cost of regular gun drones, but can't be buffed by surrounding fireblades. Same deal if they use their markerlight setup. They have an extra wound, but that is also it. The only reason I can think of for bringing them is if you've filled out your Fast Attack slots or don't have any suits or characters to put regular drones on. Same deal with a lot of their special Commander suits, they seem like they're just worse or have less options for the same cost. Only one that's actually interesting has probably already been discussed, their "close combat" suits that I've forgotten the name of. Edit:vvv Yeah, I know, just kinda baffled with some of this stuff. Some GW units in the new edition are obviously pretty broken too, but it is the exception rather than the rule and the introduction of command points really helped make slightly more balanced armies. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Jul 1, 2017 |
