I am generally anti back banner, but I'm 50-50 on that one, which probably means it's pretty good.

Oh hey, that's a decent reason to take possessed actually for my death guard list. So, Possessed have the Daemon and Nurgle keywords, meaning my Herald of Nurgle gives them +1S. Also my herald can give them Virulent Blessing for +1 to wound rolls, so they're wounding T5 and under on 2+. Since they're still death guard, I can use my death guard powers and stratagems on them too. I can cast Putrescent Vitality on them, stacking buffs to make them S7 T5 with +1 to wound, wound rolls of 7 do 2 damage. Shove a bunch of them into a rhino and they seem like they can gently caress poo poo up, or just have them run since they're move 7 and 2 wounds now with 3+/5+. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Sep 24, 2017 |

Been super busy since Nova with hurricanes and work and everything, but here's my image dump! Most of my shots are garbage, I'll need to learn how to take good game photos. The best of the bunch: I took my Deathwatch, here's a bad photo of them on their display board: I'll take better lightbox photos later. One game I played against a Kytan demon engine, a Greater Brass Scorpion, and Anngath the Unbound. I almost killed Anngath, but I could not roll to wound him more than once with a total of around 30 power fist sized attacks. Some shots from that game: Best action shot of the con, ended up winning 50 bucks in a photo contest with this! WOM WOM's first game was against OhGodNo's Beastmen: WOM's super drunk Friday Afternoon: Sex Cannon Bad photo of him destroying some Salamanders enough to make them switch sides: I think this is from him and Greggles's game against the tau and chaos?: SRM A fun game against some Tau: Versus that cool dude from Jersey whos name I forgot: Figuring out how to beat Katie's Ynnari: Shortly before purged by some Iron Warriors: Team Ultra! SRM and Sex Cannon versus slow playin' Nids and Chaos: Random shots: Cool stenciled Land Raiders: Twenty Thousand Dollars: A Gargantuan Squiggoth, never seen one in person before: The manta the dudes were talking about on the podcast: Quick and tidy Apoc: In short, 40 kay dot jpeg:

So DG cultists seem pretty legit. They benefit from DG tactics, so they rapid fire at 18 inches and can move and shoot with heavy stubbers. Definitely going to grab 30 of those, not sure if I'm splitting them into 10 man units or if I'm putting them all together and burning the CP to stop them from running for a turn when they take heavy fire.

You can also put them next to Poxwalkers so as they kill the Cultists to prevent their shooting, they just keep adding to the poxwalkers numbers.

They don't have it, they instead have a thing were Poxwalkers can get a zombie for every infantry that dies that is friend or enemy.

If I leave it in might try to magnetized it so I don't snap it off Put me down as another vote in the pro-banner camp. It may be easier to replace the pole with brass rod and simply drill a slot for it into the dreadnought, rather than magnetising- it can be tricky to get something 100% vertical and not leaning with magnets. But if you're transporting it about you will definitely want to do one or the other

I'm looking at the new Admech stuff and wondering... So we know that if you fire overcharged plasma at an enemy with a -1 BS malus a roll of 2 becomes a 1 for the purpose of the weapon rule. Is the opposite true? AFAIK Admech have the first units with plasma that have access to a BS bonus, with the understanding that said bonus applies to triggering certain special abilities that happen on a 6+. I know a 1 is always a miss regardless of modifiers but would the bonus override the plasma weapon exploding since, while still a miss, the actual result of the roll wasn't a 1?
|
# ? Sep 24, 2017 11:42 |
|
I would say no, as your roll was a 2 after modifiers.
|
# ? Sep 24, 2017 11:59 |
|
Yes. Precedent is that the modifier can reduce a 2 to a 1 for an explosion, so the reverse must also be true - automatic miss but no explosion.

The Death Guard codex is awesome. Love all the character options, new daemon engines, and the way daemons are regular choices in the codex. I bet we get some new beasts of nurgle models with the next Sigmar nurgle release. The Dark Imperium nurgle bits mix fairly well with the putrid blightkings bits. I was able to get most of the way to a second squad (melee oriented) by mixing bits: Kind of a dark photo, but you get the idea. I have an extra set of Dark Imperium nurgle guys if anyone wants to do a trade. Just PM me. I'd take a Necron or Thousand Sons kit in exchange.

Looks like Guard is the next book out and Conscripts are getting fixed. Looks like they're getting the Admech treatment rather than the full Death Guard, which is fine with me as long as they actually fix things like normal Leman Russes and such.quote:We’ve seen rules for Space Marine Chapters, Traitor Legions, forge worlds, and now there are rules for 8 regiments of the Astra Militarum. Which regiments, you ask? Cadia and Catachan will, of course, be included, as well as new rules for Armageddon, Tallarn, Valhalla, Vostroya, Mordian and the Militarum Tempestus. Each one of these factions will be getting its own regimental doctrine, order, stratagem, relic, and warlord trait – the codex is absolutely brimming with content, aimed at letting you customise your army to suit your style of play. from here https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/24/daemon-engines-a-battlefield-in-a-box-and-a-new-codex/ Also some neat conversions

IG preorders next week: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/24/daemon-engines-a-battlefield-in-a-box-and-a-new-codex/ Changes to Conscripts surprising absolutely no one. No mention of new models but conversion advice for unusual regiments (in a GW book!) Also the rest of the DG stuff, which continues to look awesome, and a cool looking but probably excessively expensive board.

This is probably a stupid question but would any of the Stormcast stuff make for good 40k conversions, maybe Custodes?

So I'll spend a week or two painting up a tactical squad, then the next week or two on dreads and tanks and characters. Speaking of tanks, my sicaran omega showed up. For all the people salty about how my previous sicaran was a great cast and easy to put together, you should probably go buy more salt, since this one was too. (or buy a sicaran, since I guess they fixed the molds or whatever)

So big thanks to BULBASAUR, who took a break from being mad about templates to post his Dark Mechanicus priest in the 30k thread, which I blatantly copied as inspiration for my own Dark Mechanicus Chaos Hellwright. I primarily made this guy to do team games with the guy in our group who does AdMech, but now that there's a Chaos Hellwright entry in the FW Chaos Index, I can just use him on the reg.

Rules/Thought Experiment - One thing I've been hearing from my usual guys (and by extension, from people they were talking to) was how flimsy cover seems to be now. One proposed house rule was suggested of 'Woods & Ruins provide cover exactly as written now, but also block LOS to models on the far side of them.' Just wanted to kick this out to this wonderful collective, see if anyone has tried similar, or can spot any obvious huge pitfalls.
