I feel that Morty being a solid 25% of your list in a 2000 pt game is appropriate for a Demon Primarch.

I do too, but I am glad the point value has convinced me to put him off for now. If he was sub 400 I would have had to go for it. Thankful $140 buys a lot of other Nurgley minions.

I have to say they're doing interesting things with this release, I was impressed by the sheer number of new characters. They've been quite ruthless is pruning out older 'conventional' CSM options from the list though. I think my Nurgle-playing mate will be a bit peeved that to get the full/real benefits of his chosen specialty, he will need to stop using his vindicators, heldrakes, bikes and raptors!

It's not an amazing consoloation prize, but he doesn't have to--he can run them as a separate, Nurgle-aligned detachment. They won't be as resilient but they'll work well enough. It's not like Heldrakes and Bikes would have benefit from DG chapter tactics anyways--they aren't infantry or Helbrutes.

Heads up though, if you don't accept notifications it disqualifies you from the competition. So does uninstalling.

What if you get the popup notification while you're pressing the home button and when you come back to the app it never asks you again? It turns off notifications by default in Settings if you don't accept and I turned them back on but but but :ohdear:

They're giving away every paint in the Base/Shade/Layer range once per day next week.

I also initially turned off notifications but then turned them back on. I think it might be fine despite them saying that disqualifies you, as the notification is how they tell you that you've won. I'm pretty sure they can't track who has notifications enabled, or at least aren't savvy enough to bother.

Apparently its called Citadel Paint: The App in this case. Found it that way though but far lower in the search results that I had initially thought.

drat, the section about bases is really nice. Might actually change how I do the blighted tundra bases for the Wolves I'm working on now and give me some ideas for bases for the 1k sons I need to do as well.

It literally doesn't want any permission but notifications. Seems about as safe as you can get.

If only I could get them to put a set of paint in dropper bottles if I won. Otherwise it's not worth it.

Hell... I'd settle for just a dozen or two pots of Ulthuan Grey in dropper bottles.

Do any modeling companies make kits where everything on a model's body is separate, including the individual legs? I just want to have some spare bits around for conversions, but I also want to make some nice dioramas for non-hamslam purposes

The Malifaux Into the breach kits are larger, but have mostly separate legs. and feet... loving feet.

They're basically a nightmare jigsaw puzzle to put together really.

The only one I've had on Android is when using the Camera feature to take a picture to colour match, then it asks for permission to use camera. It follows that with a crash :v:

Also my new favourite colour (Thousand Sons Blue) is missing from the app for some reason.

I think it's a relatively new colour, and the painting guides are probably from various older sources since the death of the old range of paints.

I was mostly joking about my specific experience but about the only thing we can do is enable communication for the app. Presumably your contact info is gathered from the app store and you will be contacted via that method.

They did not communicate the process very well; information should probably be put up in their site/on the app about it.

Yeah I know the real reason, but it's funny to consider.

Moving away from 1K Sons, I'm considering the below for 2k:

Pedro

3x rifledreads
3x assbacks

Celestine
2x Primaris Psykers

2x Tempestor Primes
Commissar
2x Tempestor Commands, 4x plas
2x Scions, 2x plas
35 Scripts
Manticore
2x Basilisks

Any glaring holes in this? I feel like I'm a little light on high strength/AP compared to my Predator list, but the drop plasmas should make up for it.

I really like how this turned out. Her head in general looks great- the flesh tone, the glow around the eyes and the edge highlighting on the hair all look incredible.

The wing symbol on her left pauldron look a little unfinished to me though- I feel like it could use a wash of nuln oil or something to bring out the feathers a bit more.

Celestine looks incredibly rad in black. Really digging the alternate color scheme.

And here's launch info.

Nurgle's fatboys are $60 each and sadly seem rather mono-built. New Admech forge worlds are -1 to hit outside of 12 inches and reroll wound rolls of 1.

Also, for an intro game, is adding a Primaris Lieutenant and a Plaguecaster to the First Strike box too much, or is it the right amount of spice? If I do that, is gun-lieutenant or sword-lieutenant less centralizing?

You roll a d6, that's how many shots you get. You then roll to hit with that many shots.

With this being the reason why blast weapons kinda suck in this edition.

Yeah I dunno that seems a little counter-intuitive

Like isn't the d6 supposed to measure where the grenade landed, replacing the old blast templates?

You're then rolling to see whether each fragment that hit managed to hit?
