The company champion has a combat shield listed in his skills but not his wargear. Does he have one or not?

I picked up a Reiver kit today. The models are great looking, but you have far fewer options for posing compared to small marines. I am just a bit disappointed, to be entirely honest. E: Ok, what the gently caress. Look at the PDF they've uploaded along with the Repulsor etc: quote:Intercessor Sergeants from the Blood Angels and Space I can think of literally no reason for them doing this except as a punch in the dick. Blood Angels and Space Wolf Intercessors are objectively worse at close combat that vanilla marines. You know, two of the most close combat focused chapters out there.

Eldar Autarchs are like this - Force Shield (4+ Inv save) is listed as an ability not as wargear, but in the back there's an 8-pt cost for it. I think the sensible thing is to just pay the points for it.

I'm finally getting the Dark Imperium box. How do the Primaris marines compare to the smaller variety? I'm probably gonna run with the Death Guard since they have sick models (heh), but I may keep the Primaris as a secondary army and choose a cool chapter like Salamanders for them

Primaris are easier to build and paint and pretty nice kits overall. They'll make your regular MKVII marines look like scrunts tho

Does a roll of one automatically fail, or can it be modified? In other words can Sgt Telion decide he will never miss?

Natural 1s always miss. Stuff like plasma death is triggered on 1s after mods, not naturals.

WhiteWolf123 posted:I noticed this too. I think it was a equipment line omission, and he has one (and has to pay for it). But check it out - the unit that can take the Wargear, Assault Marines, has very different wording on the rule. It says that "a model EQUIPPED with this has a 5++." It follows that the Champion would have the same wording - "Equipped" - as similar rules if he was supposed to have a piece of wargear. Instead, it's the same wording as an Iron Halo. So they basically named your cool Invuln rule the same as a piece of wargear for no other reason than to make things confusing.

Von Humboldt posted:Top dude is a Chaos Warrior body. I don't recognize the head. Armless dude in the middle is a plastic Warzone miniature. You can get a box of eighty of em, split half between that WWI Brit look he has and a WWI German look from Prince August for around forty bucks. They've got about three poses for rank and file. The dude above him might also be a Warzone mini; he looks about the same, but I don't recognize the exact model. His gun is certainly similar. Fourth dude looks like a positively ancient GW Ork with a Missile Launcher. The weapon itself I think is from another GW kit, maybe Space Marines (I don't know if Orks for that specific bit?) and is of similarly old vintage. Dude below him is another old Chaos Warrior but this time with a Chaos Space Marine arm and chainsword attached. (I know this because my buddy has some of these and they sucked to rank up.) Cool, thanks There were a bunch of those dudes with the silver gun in the bin, and they're solid metal, everything else is plastic. I grabbed the ork because he little smiling face is just so  and there were also a few metal orks in there that my gf grabbed

GW updated the primaris points PDF, screwing blood angels yet again. We can't take power swords on intercessors, but can take a chainsword. And we can add the new non-primaris lieutenants to the list of things (contemptor dreads, cataphractii and tartaros terminators, non-stormraven fliers, land speeder storm, centurions) that we inexplicably can't take. I know everyone else is waiting for their codexes too, but it really feels bad to see the other marines getting toys that we can't use. I'm getting closer and closer to running mine as generic red marines for the next few months. https://www.games-workshop.com/reso...4_July_29th.pdf

Yeah, I posted about the power sword thing a bit ago. It's a seriously baffling decision; the only reason I can think of for this is that somehow chainswords will be buffed in our codex and they want us to model our Intercessors "correctly." It's definitely really interesting to me that this is actually the only situation where a Primaris model can take a chainsword at all. I have no complaints about the lack of Lieutenants as that is an entirely new unit introduced in the new marine codex. I'm confident we'll get them ourselves when the time comes.

Finished the Bestigor Scions for the herd. Paint job is TT quality but hey it gets the job done right? I can't find the drat DSLR so I took quick phone shots. Overall these were the easiest out of all the conversions I've had to do for this army. I still have the Minataurs to paint, and Centigors to assemble. I've figured for sentinels I'll use the Tuskgor-led chariots and find a way to add in a special weapons mount somehow. Shot of the squad:  Non-special weapons duders have HS lasguns  Plasma dudes are monopose so I made one sorta different   One of the two melta dudes

So, wait, you're telling me that; instead of releasing their codex and saying, "here's the official release, use this from now on!" and sticking to it, they're getting you to use the stop-gap book (which you paid money for) for units and entries they were too lazy to put into their brand new, officially official book of bigmars, which STILL costs as much to buy as before? This is fine. Also, I have learnt that there is no point to take anything other than Dark Lances for Dark Eldar. Haywire Blasters can only net you four wounds on a vehicle, at most and Heat Lances are steaming, hot garbage.
