Only if you have lovely tables. It's actually not that hard for a tank to have half a track in some woods and have 50% of it obscured by terrain and other models in front of it unless you're playing on barren wastelands or the tank is at the tip of the spearhead with nothing else around. With most rhino chassis and smaller vehicles it's pretty easy to obscure it just with infantry in front of them.

Felime posted:It is that the tactic is kinda useful and a lot of the rest of the package is useless, whereas the other chapters get stuff you can build an army around or is always useful. This sounds like a terrain problem more than a problem with cover.

also "infantry squads of 10 or less" describes like 2/3 of the units in the game.

Vostroyans are up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/27/regiment-focus-vostroyan-sep27gw-homepage-post-2/ They look decent. I think the ability to shoot into melee attackers could prove entertaining, and extra range on most guns isn't bad.

Vostroyans look great. Unflashy doctrine but a solid improvement to bread and butter Guard weapons. Craftworlds are out sometime after AM but before November. Living Image fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Sep 27, 2017 |

The November preview in October's WD says "New codexes!"; which presumably means Craftworlds & Nids as they were said to be out before the end of Nov.

If I get new Warp Spider and Shining Spear models I'll love GW long time. Also, does anyone know how GW corporate hiring works and how they hire for marketing positions? In the back of my mind, I think it'd be an interesting place to pursue. Boon fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Sep 27, 2017 |

I don't belive any Aspect Warriors are getting new models for a second(sadly!). To me it doesn't feel like nuGW will give them any attention given the current Eldar direction of Wraiths and Ynnead. If I'm wrong I'll start painting CW Eldar again I guess

And models don't provide cover for most things. You sure? I think ruins is within and not entirely within. To get cover from woods you have to touch it but you can be obscured by anything. Maybe not guardsmen obscuring a russ, but for marines at least they're more than half as tall as a rhino so can 50% obscure rhino chassis tanks. Anyway how bout those 30 inch demolishers and punishers

Soulfucker posted:I don't belive any Aspect Warriors are getting new models for a second(sadly!). To me it doesn't feel like nuGW will give them any attention given the current Eldar direction of Wraiths and Ynnead. I don't believe this because it doesn't make much sense. In the last couple of iterations GW made some sensible decisions. Update an old Wraithguard line (2nd ed models), add some new units that go with the meta direction (flyers and giant gently caress-off units - wraithknight) update the jetbikes (2nd ed models), update the Farseer/Warlock jetbike combo (didn't previously have models), etc... Their model decisions made sense even if the pewter/finecast aspects were left to rot a little longer. However, they're at a point now where the meta game hasn't really introduced any unit type that they need to cover. So while they may expand a new unit type, there is a very obvious gap in their model line-up from a design/sales perspective. This includes their character line up which all fall in the aspect warrior category. The key here is that GW is specifically talking CW Eldar and not Aeldari or whatever bullshit they called the combined forces. I view that cluster as something akin to the Ulthwe Strike Force from the EoT campaign - may not stick around for long. Although a new updated Vyper with rules to join jetbike (or Shining Spear) squads would also be really awesome. Also, I am prepared to be disappointed. Also, also, gently caress that Ynnead model. It's so overdesigned that it's completely awful and never quite makes the complete journey back to parody but just stays as dog poo poo.

I'm really excited for guard. I see a lot of really fun options for a detachment with my Primaris marines. I love the idea of a stormtrooper squad escorting some Inquisitor for a special mission while the Space Marines hold the line.

I doubt that we will get any new eldar or guard models considering we still have most of the DG staggered release to get through first, and they'd likely want to drop the new models with their codex

I want something like a Vendetta with an Inquisitorial strike team coming in from the skies for MAXIMUM PURGATION. Plus I think some all-black storm troopers and vehicles with giant white Inquisitor symbols would look awesome. Anyone know a source for white Inquisition transfers?

I was born in 92 so my formative years were the dregs of UK children's TV, which consisted of Pokémon on SMTV mostly. (Badboys forever) Also waiting on the end of the month so I can get another Skitarii box and the codex. Graia's the forgeworld of choice for Vanguard-heavy armies, right?

I always planned to grow up and stop playing with toys eventually but I guess that's never going to happen. However, I'm impressed that these dead comedy forums from 1999 are still somehow attracting a new generation. Someday this place will be like the worst generational ship ever imagined, with future goons reposting long-dead lols from the search archives.

Index rules are always usable, so I don't think GW could shut the door on that even if they wanted to. It's weird, though, that we can have everything from GSC techpriests to GSC Ogryn to a goddamn Creedstealer, but Nurgle's fatboys balk at the idea of hopping on a bike or letting a Nurgling pal around with them.
