The local 40k event organizer has been bitching incessantly for weeks about how bad chaos is and how space marines have gotten buffed and are the best and I really hope poo poo like this gets him to shut the gently caress up.

Will anything get rid of Krylon primer? The second batch of models I primed with it came out looking blotchy and gross and over-primed and I need to correct this mistake

Just go over it with a toothbrush until it's Good Enough (tm) to re-prime lightly for a painting surface.

I don't mind a little pinning here or there, but c'mon- I had to do this because the FW tail stubs are nowhere near enough. These and the landing fins both needed pinning, and even now I worry I'll need to do the same to the tail booms eventually. Don't even get me started on the "fit" of the afterburner.

After theory-crafting a half dozen lists with T'au, I've come to the conclusion that the primary limiter for how happy I am with a list is how many points it is. 2000 points demands some serious concessions from what I want to put on a table.

You might want to leave it in for longer if its really bad, though. edit: Also finally got my Pop Goes The Monkey shoulder insignia in. Shapeways is kinda pricey but these things fit on the pads perfectly and look great. Der Waffle Mous fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Aug 5, 2017 |

I find myself content between 1850-2000 points with lots of commander spam. I've got 1850 now, and I think I'd add a couple piranhas or maybe stealth suits to get there. Aside: in the future, I'd like to have maxed out seeker missiles on all my tanks and piranhas, what's the best way to get more seeker missiles?

The core of my list is four Strike/Breacher Squads and their Devilfish, which understandably eats a big chunk of points. I get one unit each of Broadside, Crisis, Ghostkeel, and Stealth, and it feels a little bit disjointed at the end.

It seems like Oblits are staying the same points, but their guns are now Assault 4 instead of Assault 2. Mutilators are now 50ppm instead of 65. Possessed are the same cost but Wound:2 So that's some love for units that never had much attention from players, at least this edition. I guess I might as well post the rest of the point changes while I'm here, I have not seen them in the thread yet: Bikers- 25 pts (-6 pts per model) Cultist- 4 pts (-1 pt) Lord in termi-105 pts (17 less) Pred-90 pts (12 less) Vindi-135 pts (25 less) Defiler-152 (60ish pt decrease) Lord of Skulls-365 (100 pts less) Maulerfiend-140 (9pts less) Mutliators-50 pts (15 less) Noise Marines-15 pts (1 per guy) Plagues-19 pts (2 per model) Warpsmith-45 pts(-33 pts) Abbadon-240 (-13 pts) Kharne-160 (-13 pts) Bloodletters/Daemonettes-7 pts (-2 per model) Horrors- 8pts (-2) Blue no change brimstone-3 pts (+1) only thing that costs more plagues-7 pts (-1) Weapons: Baleflamer-30 pts (-30 pts) Blastmaster-20 pts (-8) Hades AC-25 (-8 pts) Reaper-15 pts (-3 pts) Soulreaper-15 pts (-5 pts) Melee: Daemonic axe-10 pts (-35 pts) Helforged sword-10 pts (-32 pts) L claws-8/12 (-1 pt) plague sword-1 pt (-2 pts) power fist-12 pts (-8 pts) There was a lot of 'power' decreases to keep up with the mild-big points decreases, but I don't remember them all. That one guy here who was upset about warptalons will be happy they are 1ppm cheaper because of the lightning claw changes and they are 2 power cheaper, at least their starting power, not sure how it changes as the unit size goes up. I have made the changes to my personal google spreadsheet that I use to make my weird looking lists. I will continue to work on that for those few people who wanted a copy of it, I keep tweaking the format a bit here and there to make it more legible and pleasant. I'm working on a simple way to print it too, since that can be a pain sometimes.

The black makes it seem a little unfinished and it doesn't contrast enough with the armour - makes it sort of blend together instead of really framing your nice paint work. Throw on some greenery/a few tufts of static grass and you're good to go!

So are Drop Pods as dead as think they are? E: I mean for 5 points more you can get an assback that packs some serious firepower, is fairly tough, quick, can fight in assault and isn't a useless immobile pile with a storm bolter. adamantium|wang fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Aug 6, 2017 |

I've never been one to like non-black base rims. I'll have to try some vegetation though.

Like when you launch a pod you can fire whatever the new barrage equivalent is. Drop Pods need to be easily 20 points cheaper than they are now. Jump packs, which come with advantages besides just getting to the field, are only 2 points per model. There's no drift from deep strike, so the #1 advantage of Drop Pods is completely gone, but they're still 40% more expensive than a Rhino for... reasons.

And the biggest stuff you'd really want to pod can't take them anyway. Raven guard strat really cemented pods being trash.

Yeah they should have some kind of extra benefit. I mean even giving units that arrive by pod a single turn buff or some poo poo. Call it descent of angels or some snappy grimdark words and give all units arriving by pod a 3+ cover save for a turn on account of the plumes of poo poo flying into the air as they impact.

So I have this land raider Achilles and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. It's got some multimeltas and a thunder fire cannon on it, and a transport cap of 6. What's the best stuff to put it there? 6 cant take a full squad of terminators or cents sadly.

Drop pods should be exempt from the deep strike positioning rule. In fact, they should deal mortal wounds to whoever they land on. The Codex Astartes calls this maneuver Steel Rain

poo poo make Steel Rain a 2cp strat to let a drop pod ignore the 9 inch rule.
