Maybe next time not release a 35 buck marine that looks no different from the 35 buck pack of 5 marines that are sitting right next to it on the new release shelf.

Speaking of, I decided to do a bit of work on mine, as I'd much rather have a Lieutenant than a Sergeant. (Excuse the potato picture, my phone's on it's way out). Not five seconds after I had him glued together I had some grog bitch at me that he ain't WYSIWYG

After a successful goon trip to Warhammer World, we can safely say that our results will have no bearing on the Badcast campaign - a win each for the Badboys and Fuckbois. One game had 3 animes burnt, so really we can say we all won. Not many photos but some highlights from my point of view..

That's a brilliant way to differentiate Lieutenants from Sergeants, and I will be stealing it accordingly (and using Kromlech's new Legionary Maces as well. Also Kromlech has a 19% off sale this weekend.

Great for when you need to fire multiple weapons at once, occasionally confusing when you're just rolling some bolters.

Corrode posted:They're awful for actually reading on a table but the aesthetic is fun. The worst ones are these: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-40000-command-dice-2017 Those aren't meant for typical rolling, let alone to be read from across the table- they're to keep track of command points. Considering that most of the time people just keep track on paper there's no point. When playing someone, if you want to keep track of their points you can do it however you wish- but the dice are fine for what they are.

Goonpocalyptic image dump ahoy. I will add some not fun comments on my computer imminently First game was against Zark the Damned's daemon orks. I took entirely dreadnoughts. 8th edition is amazing.  The objective was to kill the courier, a nominated model on each side... here my dreadnoughts spread out in the swamp, braced for the daemons  Meanwhile, Artum's Ultramarine primarises took on Scowny's Praetorians in the Badcast mission. THere was much anime in the Tau research stations  Primarises, thausands of 'em  Some big motherfucking daemons - Zark's Bloodthirster  Tycho the lost carefully selects of all the possible targets... the cultists.   Death Company dread bravely stands up to the bloodthirster, and dies  "Shoot her, shoot her, then kick her to death." And they did.  Roughriders!  A bold deepstrike from the veterans to capture the turn indicator die. Bold strategy from Scowny, who lost this game.  A brave dreadnought protects the courier. Good job daemons cannot walk round things  Oh poo poo - the end of the game. Zark for the win.      Scowny's lieutenant bravely walking away from the battle.  You take my life but I'll take yours too, you fire your bolter but I'll run you through Second game, Scowny and I playing the badcast mission.  After a lot of objectives that were not the anime... porn in the woods. It must be burnt.  Anime burnt. It turns out Praetorians really love hentai.  Game did not go well from then on, this is from the final moments. Sgt Lonesome there made a brave charge against the Vulture with its 40 shot gun.  RIP Sgt Lonesome (following overwatch), and RIP Blood Angels. Tabled. It could have been a draw but the Razorback took a melta shot which rolled high. Other highlights of the day was a twin linked lascannon double six on overwatch against the bloodthirster followed by a double one to wound. Was a fun day. Christmas Goonpocalypse anyone?

But yeah, Indomitable Advance is an insane rule and would've jacked their effectiveness way up. I wasn't expecting Death Guard to get a chapter tactic equivalent at all; I figured Disgustingly Resilient and all of their unique weapons and other rules would have been enough.

It's just weird that it affects heavy weapons too when about the only thing that works for is hellbrutes.

I just wrapped up my second Konor game, which also happened to be the largest game of 8th I've played at 2500 points. I had my Blood Angels, a Vindicare, and my Knight Paladin for the campaign. He brought several Chaos detachments- one Emperor's Children that had a ton of blastmasters, and a Chaos Renegades detachment that was full of beserkers. He also had a Chaos Knight with gattling cannon/thermal cannon. It was a pretty fun game overall, but my opponent ended up conceding at the top of turn three as I'd very nearly tabled him. It lasted about two and a half hours overall. My opponent deployed his beserkers really agressively, and between the deployment zone and his ability to advance and charge it was clear he was going for a first turn charge. I took two full Intercessor squads and used them as a screen to eat the charge of his 30 or so beserkers. The Intercessors got mauled pretty badly but ended up surviving the charge. They then backed up out of the combat and allowed me to completely wipe the beserkers out between Repulsor shooting and stomp attacks by the Knight. After dealing with the immediate threat I just pounded the rest of his army to death with long and mid range fire. The funniest moment in game by far was his Sorceror rolling perils and chewing his entire fire support section up pretty badly. I'd knocked a few wounds off with my Vindicare on my first turn, which proved to be just barely enough for his psyker to blow himself up on the first cast. A close second involved his Demon Prince of Khorne murdering my Furioso and Librarian Dreadnoughts in close combat. The librarian then blew up and knocked the last wound off of the demon prince. I'm definitely liking the Primaris stuff better as I play more with it. Intercessors are incredibly resilient and make for great front line troops. Repulsors have absolutely hilarious amounts of firepower and the fly keyword lets you play them very agressively.

I get what they're doing now with their datasheet strategy--like someone pointed out, now you have a sheet for "a dude with this stuff" and not "a dude with lots of options"--but I'm not sure how much I like that, even if I do like the added simplicity on most things.

They're mono pose so arming them differently than the box intends would be sort of a pain. Primaris stuff doesn't have much in the way of options anyways so aside from giving the sergeants power or chain swords I don't know what you'd want to change.

For my first 10 Reivers in my Primaris only army, should I build them with Combat Knives or Bolt Carbines? I have yet to play a game, but I am guessing knives, since I have no other melee troops. I have no delusions of being a tournament winner with this list, but would like to not make wasteful decisions.
