It's more or less how area terrain worked before the switch to TLOS

The tournament rule of "the first level of ruins block LOS" worked pretty well in games we've played. I like the rule for woods blocking LOS, though

Imagine all your Guardsmen head-high walls suddenly becoming totally obsolete by the Primaris range hitting, or Jim insisting on putting a banner on every one of his goddamn models to let them shoot over walls.

I hadn't played from 3rd all the way until late 7th so a lot of what happened between them is still kind of weird to me

richyp posted:Background audio/video seems to do it. Can't seem to paint anything unless I have some youtube video's, netflix etc... on in the background. When I do I usually end up painting like a loving lunatic without realising it. 2000ish points of (Sigmar) Chaos dudes in a month thanks to random iphone droptest videos or random opinions about nation X trying nation Y's candy for the first time. This. I am back into the hobby after many years out, and I cannot stress enough how much the ease of putting a podcast on in the background has improved my ability to sit down and work through painting stuff.

The best thing to paint to is Kitchen Nightmares and I think I've gone through like half the series by now Watch the American one because the UK version is much less wild

Tried the new Admech stuff. Still don't think very highly of the Mars dogma in and of itself, because canticles aren't particularly great and having a second one isn't worth, say, a permanent -1 to hit or ignoring AP-1. The main advantage to Mars is still Cawl, who gets even better with the warlord trait. That said, a Knight with access to canticles isn't something to be hosed with. It actually gets some more use out of the results since its the only way it can get rerolls to hit.

Mostly because even if it is standard, some people just don't like it, I guess.  We'd prefer to have cool terrain without needing to fascinate over ensuring it has a 50mm barrier around the edge so it works, or making woods dense enough you can't actually put models inside them and keep it LoS blocking.Like I said, it was purely a thought experiment as we'd been chatting about it - It feels 'right' a hull down tank or hidden squad behind a tree copse should break LoS, that's all.

You could have a foot high wall an someone will argue if theres a pin prick hole somewhere in it that they can see whats behind it. Best thing is ask what is what an note it down. If its a rando pick up game its almost mandatory. If you know the person maybe a 40k win isn't worth the post game stress but everyone is different.

Seems likely that after the Lion the next primarch we see will be Angron. BTW, Deathwatch is being moved out of GW stores and will become online only after this week.

So is the intent now to give each living primarch a model? Aren't almost all of the loyalist ones not exactly living?

Curze: Let an assassin relive him of life. Alpharius/Omegon: Ded. All the others are "missing" or have already returned for an even 7-7 split: Loyal: Dorn, Vulkan, Khan, Russ, Corax, Gulliman Traitor: Magnus, Angron, Perturabo, Lion, Lorgar, Fulgrim, Mortarion e: forgot Lorgar OhDearGodNo fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Sep 25, 2017 |

Well yeah, but the question was about the Loyalists. And hell, I'm sure comics rules could apply here to bring the dead ones back.

Well, I completed another test model for my Death Guard. This time it is a poxwalker. I'm going for a very specific aesthertic for my Death Guard and hopefully I pulled it off. Let me know what you think.

You're overthinking it. Every bit of terrain doesn't need to fully block LoS, but you do need enough terrain that does block LoS to create fire lanes and to prevent shooting armies having sight of the whole board. There's tons of options in existence - solid buildings, crap eBay tanks, the Imperial Bastion, solid lower floors in the Imperial Sector - but the cheapest and most efficient is:  2-3 of those together blocks LoS perfectly. You don't even need to paint them, although it looks way better if you do. Label off, upside down, spray black and drybrush - instant industrial silo in 28mm scale. Even better if you can get hold of the big institutional ones that schools/prisons use.

I've always treated stuff like woods as "adds cover, can shoot in/out, can't shoot through, has a movement penalty". Works in most games.
