mango sentinel posted:I really like Reaper Aged + Polished bone since they are a much more bleached look than GW Ushabti/Screaming. I get frustrated occasionally at how wet/loose they are in comparison to Citadel thiccness but Polished Bone especially gives that clean white bone. Yeah I'm using Vallejo colors. I think if I used a different base (I had Army Painter Soft Tone) it might have worked better.

adamantium|wang posted:Dreadnoughts have lost access to twin heavy flamers, twin heavy bolters and twin autocannon. Looks like most characters have lost bike access too. Honestly though? This is dumb. If they don't police this, things will get conflicted and some players might lose track of what's current and what's not.

Has something changed about GW's customer service? I've heard about how responsive and understanding they are, but when I contacted them with pictures of 2 poxwalkers from the new starter that were miscast, with pictures, it has taken from 7/13 until today to get them to agree to send replacements. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth, considering I've had miscasts from Privateer, Hawk, and Corvus Belli get replaced faster with fewer problems.

LingcodKilla posted:Named characters are a curse to this game. Bring back the old days when you had to ask for permission to play them and armies needed 50%+ troops to not be laughed at. Agree named characters are bad. Like what if its two blood angels fighting against each other? One of them is the Dante imposter?? That works for Alpha Legion but its nonsense for anybody else. Named characters are weird and special and OP and having multiple in everybody's little list makes no sense, most shouldn't even show up outside of like 10,000 point armies or something absolutely re-goddamn-diculous like that. Should just be a bunch of pick-yer-own warlords and commanders and sergeants.

I feel like they must be a much smaller shop than I usually imagine, at least in terms of personnel. E: It's both cool and good to be able to have your HQ Commander Dante dumpster the poo poo out of your opponents army. For the most part it seems like there's currently a pretty good balance between names and non-named characters, with a few primarch sized exceptions. I woke up this morning to 40 unread posts and still can't understand what you people were arguing about. Pendent fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jul 25, 2017 |

My favorite bit of named character bullshit is Aun'Va, the leader of an entire loving race, being able to show up to lead a tiny band of fire warriors in some super small conflict Or even better, two armies with Aun'Va facing each other

Aun'Va died in the Warzone: Domacles books. Tau High Command decided that they would keep that on the down low and made a bunch of Holo'Va copies. That's why he never leaves the chair anymore. This was a complete net good because Aun'va was really inspirational but also depicted as incompetent, petty and childish in those books. Holo'Va lets the Tau have their cake and eat it too. It's unclear how much people have noticed.

Safety Factor posted:GW said something like you can use the datasheets from the index going forward if you like. So the Imperial Marine or bike characters, for example, are still available, you just have to refer to the index instead of the codex. It sucks that we're losing weapons options (there were some rumors about the Razorback losing some as well), but it's obvious GW wants to keep them limited to what people can build out of their standard kits. Presumably, those players with autocannon dreadnoughts or las/plas razorbacks can still use the sheets out of the index. If the goal is to not give options for stuff that isn't in the box then razorbacks may lose the asscannons. Except they won't if everyone can still use the index version anyway.

If they're in the Index, you can use the Index entry for the model, with the current rules from the codex: Codex FAQ posted:There are a few options that are missing in the codex that appear in the index: why is that? Does that mean I can’t use these models in my army anymore? So you can still field any unit that was included in the Index, with any wargear it was allowed to take in the index, and it'll benefit from the special rules in the codex.

What is much funnier is that he is now 100 years older but is still around and people haven't noticed despite Tau officially not having life-extending tech beyond good medicine. Same for all the other named Tau. Some ethereals live for longer times but they were already pushing their twilight years in the last edition. The fact that Tau tech hasn't changed much in a century is also kind of baffling. That's kind of their entire thing. I mean yes, we are all waiting for a codex, but considering how they are set up you would expect tons of changes and additions when that arrives.

Which is why it is weird. Before if you wanted a rifleman dread or a bike apothecary you converted one, bought Fw or third party. Now it's exactly the same, except new players don't even know it's an option. They removed nothing and just spread poo poo across more books.

I can understand not wanting people to be confused by pieces that aren't represented, but now they'll be doubly confused and people will call out models that are totally legal as not existing. Or GW could put the pieces back in rotation, but I guess that's too much to ask.

They should've just left the options in the codex, so I don't have to use the index to take a rifleman dread or a librarian on a bike or whatever. Dumb. But at least they didn't invalidate them as options completely. Basically, if it's at least in the index, it's safe to use for 8th ...even if it doesn't make it to the codex and/or it has wargear changes that prevent certain loadouts.

What are you talking about, the Tau are on like iPhone 237. I heard they even fixed it so you don't die in your 30s from constant low yield radiation anymore. Need kroot who ate the new marines. Big kroot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DqjcNd9mOY So apparently ironclads are 40 points cheaper, hunters 30 points cheaper, and sternguard bolters are 1 point cheaper. Pretty nice. Calgar and some other characters like the emperor's champion also took big point drops.

I can very rarely actually finish a model, so I only have a small handful with transfers applied. I'll be using these for most of my new marines. I'm also considering picking up a Moritat to use as a Lieutenant since you can do a dual pistol setup and those models are pretty sweet looking.
