Remember those cheapo 1997 Warzone figures I said you could get with 80 models for 30 dollars? I've been continuing my painting practice on them and they're pretty low-detail models but they don't look too bad with a basic coating of paint by an idiot bitch like me  The plan is to use all 80 of them as two units of 40 cultists or as some sort of Imperial Guard or Renegades proxy

Safety Factor posted:I'm guessing he means painting. Land raiders aren't difficult builds and the hurricane bolters are pretty simple. They're nothing like the multi-part metal nightmares of yesteryear. I let one of these fuckers sit half-assembled in a box for literally like 6 years, until I gave up and bashed some other sponsons out of leftover bolter racks from a Nephilim fighter. Painting it isn't so tough, it just takes forever because the model's huge and it has a billion recesses to pin wash and half again more edges to highlight.

The CSM codex made some nice (but perhaps overlooked?) changes to Rubric Marines. The min squad no longer costs a premium vs buying additional models, and you can now include a Soulreaper at 5 models instead of 10. I'm sloooowly painting up 20 Rubrics and thinking of running them in a battalion w/ three squads of 5 along with Ahriman and an Exalted Sorceror. Ahriman is boring, but on 5+ he gives my Leviathan a 3+ invuln save. Has anyone had much luck running Thousand Sons detachments? It seems reasonably viable ... maybe?

Does anyone want some old 3rd edition Space Wolves bits? Just cover shipping and they are yours. If you have some chaos / nurgle bits you'd like to unload on me in return that'd be great, but not required in any way! If no one takes them they are going in the trash.

So Blood Angels Infantry & Bikers get +1S if they are within 6" of ANy Sanguinary Priests, and the "any" means it do\es not stack, right? I think I've fuinally nailed down my 1850 list.

I asked this on RPGnet and people can't figure out what the answer is: Can a unit of Vanguard Veterans all be fielded with lightning claws, or does "The Veteran Sergeant may replace his bolt pistol and chainsword with two items from the following list: a storm shield, a relic blade, or an item from the Pistols or Melee Weapons lists" mean that while he does have access to both lists, he can only pick one item from each and therefore can't pick two lightning claws? Like, one would think the answer would be "Yes you can make a unit of gothy raven guard with all jump packs and lightning claws and beakie helmets purchased from bitz resellers" but, well.

I was really excited but became dejected when it was revealed no new models would be released. I expected it when it was announced so early and all the leaks were Death Guard, but it still sucks. I'm not hopeful about any of the non-Mars Forge World rules being great additions either, but I guess the Astartes rules for non-Smurfs weren't completely disappointing, and with the small range, maybe they really go crazy!

OhDearGodNo posted:Urgent advice needed: Since you're guard and have a surfeit of command points to reroll any unlucky low numbers of shots I'm inclined to say the battle cannon. Nova cannons ~30% better against troops but its garbage against vehicles and while the auto cannon has the bad luck protection of fixed shots its worse at killing both t4 infantry and vehicles. Plus you can never really be out of range of a battle cannon shot.

TheChirurgeon posted:He's right, though. The legion traits and chapter tactics specifically seemed to take specially characters and singers with them into account in their design. A bunch of community previews emphasized how a particular trait would work with so and so special character, etc. So it's not unreasonable to think that Mars' design will account for the presence of might Cawl and other forgeworlds will get traits designed with the understanding that they have no special characters.

TheChirurgeon posted:He's right, though. He's not though. Yes there's tons of Ultramarines characters, but a) there are good characters for other Chapters which are mutually exclusive with taking the UM ones and b) there are shitloads of characters for SM in general, both named and generic, which offer meaningful diversity. Compare to AdMech, where there's two HQ choices, Cawl and a generic TPD. Cawl is an upgunned TPD in every way - he's a melee monster who also has better than generic shooting, a better aura, and a useful army-wide ability. 99% of armies will have at least 2 HQs and a second TPD adds nothing except redundancy (which does have its own value, admittedly). The points differential between a naked TPD (135pts) and Cawl (250pts) is not great enough to offset how much more effective he is as a force multiplier and a real threat to things wanting to assault your artillery blob. Maybe the Forge World bonuses will be amazing and offset that, or there'll be significant cost changes, or something else radical which will make the situation significantly different. We'll have to wait for the book to see.

Given their current track record (granted, only two so far) of solid codices I'm hoping they make interesting and fun choices.

This is the route I can see them going down - the standard TPD kit functions as multiple different archetypes which offer different bonuses. Also once again someone forgets Grey Knights was released.

I'm hoping for changes to the basic troops, at least. Vanguard radiation guns going from multiple wounds to the potential for multiple damage was a huge nerf.
