No for the first couple of turns he had everything in a big pile to benefit from sicarius who was also in cover, was why the orbital bombardment worked out. dexefiend posted:Are the Hunters any good? The latter I think. My contemptor only survived like 7 lascannon shots before going down because of atomantic shielding, more and more I doubt ill ever actually field a redemptor.

Honestly if id had a unit of reivers instead of a unit of inceptors and got into his big marine pile it probably would have gone very differently. Finishing off 2 of the tactical squads would have forced a draw if nothing else (we were playing the first konor mission).

PantsOptional posted:Quick check: if I'm using Codex SM and we're playing with PL, I don't pay any cost for a Relic, do I? Nope. Taking a Relic doesn't cost points or increase your power rating. It's just a "free" upgrade of whatever piece of equipment it says it's upgrading. Now, if you take 2-3 relics, that'll cost you some command points, but the first one is free in every sense.

Safety Factor posted:All we know so far are the first four: Space Marine, Chaos Marines, Grey Knights, and Death Guard. Space Marines are out, Chaos Marines and Grey Knights go up for pre-order this weekend, and Death Guard will probably follow in a couple of weeks. Beyond that, it's a mystery though I'm sure there'll be some hints posted on the community site before too long. They've also hinted at Astra Militarum getting a release this year and I'd bet money we'll see Thousand Sons, Daemons, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Dark Angels before the year's out. That'd cover 8 out of the 10 they said are coming before Christmas.

I finished my Nork Doombull finally. Beginning... gently caress finecast.  Random bits to make a large enough autogun  Things didn't really fit the way I wanted  Cut the right arm up and re-positioned the bend at the elbow  The shield is for when I want him to be a Bone'ead Ogryn instead of Nork. Took a while to find a way to make a shield secure and also easily removable  Just finished painting this little poo poo, didn't have my good camera so iphone will have to do  With the shield  Magnets hold it on  Maybe I should put casings on the base or something?

I'm guessing Necrons are going to be towards the end of the list which is a bit of a pain, but I'm having lots of fun with the scumbag combos in the Index already.

Does anyone else feel like the sicaran venator is a bit overpowered? I just had a game where it knocked 12 wounds off a storm raven turn 1 and spent the next 3 turns 1-shotting a razorback every turn. My opponent didn't have much on the way of antitank, but it felt really powerful.

So that's foreshadowing Admech and Imperial Guard soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Chaos Demons was also coming, as well as Thousand Sons and probably at least one non-codex Marine. I know my initial forecast was a lot of Xenos to represent each "main" faction, but it sounds like Year 1 is heavily dedicated towards pushing Imperium vs. Chaos. I think if any Xenos show up it'd be the Tau, especially if Chaos Tau happen.

My opponent didn't have much on the way of antitank, but it felt really powerful. I mean, it's strong but I wouldn't say it's overpowered. You're paying 305 points for essentially 5 lascannon shots (S12 vs S9 doesn't matter in practical terms vs heavy vehicles), a godhammer with 4 lascannons and a multimelta is 383 (and has more wounds, a better save, and transport capacity) and a quad lascannon predator is 190. The predator is super efficient at damage output, the sicaran is much more mobile and can debuff stuff with its main gun.

The black library previews for November sound like they'll cover the new rulebook blurb about Daemons showing up to stop Leviathan at Baal. That makes me think that we'll see BA and Chaos Daemon books around then as some of the last ones before Xmas.

Thanks  it's something I've been wanting to do since 3rd and it's been a challenge, most of these sculpts are 20+ years old and it shows. I'll do the casings and maybe glue a few together to form a chain of falling brass from the ejection port- hopefully it won't look terrible.

GW basically said in the promo stuff that they wanted to concentrate on Imperium versus Chaos and bring that conflict to the fore. As if they didn't already have an entire other game designed based on that...

Yes, the two boxed 30K games, featuring plastic heresy kit, released in the run up to Xmas, with big splashes in white dwarf, and split out into normal box kits, and stocked in GW stores, usually alongside the 30K black library novels is definitely an attempt to hide it. Imperium vs Chaos sells. Whatever the era.

That's what I get for quick skimming. Still, it looks like you could get three activations (two for Blood for the Blood God, one for the Stratagem) with +1A per model on a charge which isn't shabby at all.

You still can't attack units you consolidate into in a charge.

You still can't attack units you consolidate into in a charge. It's pretty clearly just going to give you one extra fight. I'd have to see the wording on Consolidating to verify not being able to fight them, though. Also you're right on killing most things in a double-fight, but sometimes you charge lots of units or need to close things out against a big target. Or you need to get some extra hits in with your non-Berserker fightmans with heavier weapons, I guess.

On the turn you charge you can only allocate attacks against a unit that you charged this turn. You can consolidate into other units, but can't hit them because you didn't charge them.
