 For actual content, I'm making Camhammer videos again and I put this one out the other week. It's about the Horus Heresy, and whether or not you should start it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J41mvVROEQ I'm working on one collecting some thoughts about 8th edition that'll be out this week.

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:I'm torn. I want to field Abaddon alongside my Emperor's Children, but I also want to stay fluffy. Has there ever been an instance when this has happened post-Heresey, or am I just a filthy min-maxing ham for wanting to do such a thing? 1. These are former Emperor's Children who signed up with the Black Legion. This is totally a thing that happens in fluff, though apparently they're widely disliked by the rest of the Emperor's Children. Works for both giving them Black Legion tactics (they are truly part of the Black Legion now!) or Emperor's Children tactics (we literally just signed up/are insular and not adopting Black Legion customs.) 2. He's the Warmaster. Maybe he bribed, threatened, or otherwise coerced their warband's leader into fighting; maybe they're just along for the ride on one of his Crusades and he wants to make sure that they aren't messing up anything important.

Man, I just fell in love with that idea and decided to do just that. The models are awesome! https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Rotbringers-Putrid-Blightkings I'm really glad that works for you. I was talking about using them as either spawn, posessed, or melee terminators. They're pretty amazing.

If I ever get around to doing CSM it'd be a Black Legion/Emperor's Children warband, so do it! The colors even work out well.

SRM posted:Thanks! I'm hoping it happens sooner rather than later, as I'd like to bust out my Heresymans again. From what's been drifting around the internet lately, we're looking at a year and a half plus wait, before there's even a chance of that happening, unless they decided to use the delay of Angelus to write 8th Ed. HH rules, then adapt what they have for Angelus to work in 8th. Personally, I hope they keep HH far away from the 8th Ed. ruleset. 8th has a lot of things I like, but the whole way it handles characters just strikes me as entirely inappropriate for the 30k era. The HH was all about endless legions of dudes dying, forgotten, in inhospitable places, which seems to be the polar opposite of the herohammer angle that 8th takes.

Then being a little harder to target doesn't really feel un-30k to me. A lotta dudes die in a game of 8th ed, which feels pretty 30k to me too.

I'm also in the camp of wanting Heresy updated to 8th, though I can live without it as my Alpha Legion translated to 8th with minimal losses. Like, I lost my Headhunters, which isn't a particularly bad thing to be honest, and playing them as combi-bolter Chosen squads is good enough. Also I just want to say, Primaris Marines make good Alpha Legion sergeants and characters.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Are Aggressors worth anything or it safe to say that Intercessors and Hellblasters are all you need? I'm a big fan of mine. 130ish points for 3, with a ton of shots. Fairly mobile too if they need to be since they can advance and shoot with no penalty. Along with hellblasters they've become nearly an auto include.

JoshTheStampede posted:Yeah they have a habit of murdering anyone who sees them operate so they remain secret. Even most space marines don't know they exist. It was even deeper than that - In older editions they had a psychic "mist" rule that made them harder to shoot at and reflected the fluff that they projected a constant psychic field that made them incredibly difficult to remember or even look at. People who had seen them might just vaguely recall having felt some gentle thought of the Emperor during the battle, but that's it.

A lotta dudes die in a game of 8th ed, which feels pretty 30k to me too. For me, it's less about the number of deaths, and more about 90% of the characters being just another guy in the blob, who can get punked out of existence by a single swing of a power fist. That just feels so much grittier to me. I actually really like the fact that Eternal Warrior, Storm Shields, and other things that make expensive characters more durable, are largely nonexistent in 30k. But hey, that's just an opinion  we all see it differently.I think I just really despise aura buffs.

More people should try hellfire shells. I usually have a scout with a heavy bolter somewhere, and I was using hellfire shells to kill hellblasters in cover. It was a good use of the cp imo

SRM posted:For actual content, I'm making Camhammer videos again and I put this one out the other week. It's about the Horus Heresy, and whether or not you should start it now: I thought you've seen PNW crew's posting? 30k players are definitely a negative. Pretty objective other than that! The only thing I'd add is that there is an upcoming rulebook that's likely going to be 7.5. It feels to me that people don't acknowledge the significance of this- releasing a HH specific rulebook just for 30k. That speaks a lot to their commitment to staying on their own system for the indefinite future. They're also taking over the specialist game space and 30k has been on it's way to becoming it's own game for some time. One of the reasons it's been pretty balanced is that it was written in 6th and never got fully converted to 7th. They took the things they liked and ignored the ones they didn't. Some of the things people like in 8th came from the 30k books. IMO the contents of the new rulebook, whenever we get it, will be the most telling about how committed they are to keeping the game separate or not. I'm a whiny baby like Perturabo, but I'm impressed with most of 8th edition. I just prefer a less streamlined game for 30k as it's a game for grognard 40k players. It's fine if they convert it over, but that wouldn't be my preference. BULBASAUR fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Aug 15, 2017 |

UK Goons, Warhammer World Trip Saturday 9th September. Goonpocalypse V : Hung like Parliament is nearly upon us. We have a big showcase table and a small showcase table. We are planning to play normal games this time rather than the apocalypse that the title implies. Nobody takes it too seriously and it is always a funny day. It's nice to put faces to the forum handles and everyone's models do look better in real life. Also if you make up rules when playing Scowny he loves it and if you fancy ordering a kids meal as a grown man this is a totally safe space. Sometimes we all feel like chicken nuggets and an apple juice, Give us a shout in the Goonmeet thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3824610 . Or drop me a PM.

Tempting, my kid starts school that week but if he's not too knackered I might chuck him in the car for a road trip east. Probably won't be there for a game but the promise of a trip to Nottingham castle might buy me an hour or 2 in plastic man mecca.

Got a question about new codex deamon princes and relics. Battle scribe allows one to have say The Murder Sword or Black Mace. Is this legit because I thought to get a relic you had to say have a power sword an that becomes the relic?

Yeah you need a thing for it to replace. What that is will be specified in the relic description. DPs may be an exception, check the codex.
