Wasn't able to do the badcast game because my battletech demo ran long and my friends had to leave Played a Sisters player though. He had some horseshit forgeworld transport with 6 firing ports, inside it was a bunch of flamer dominions. Killed it with my hellblasters though, they wounded it with 7 overcharged plasma shots because of Lt and Captain support. Thank gently caress flamers don't ignore cover anymore, with cover all those flamer hits didn't end up doing a lot to me. Man, T3 sisters do not appreciate being shot at by assault cannon razorbacks. They basically melted. I used auspex scan for the first time to have a tac squad gun down a unit of deep striking seraphim. That was pretty satisfying. He got a charge off with a bunch of sisters repentia and they shredded my primaris, 2 damage chainswords were brutal. I lost 6 primaris marines to them and celestine took 2 more. My main takeaway is that exorcists are bullshit and Celestine dies like a chump to any actual melee. He conceded on the bottom of 3 after I wiped out everything but a repentia mistress, a heavy bolter retributor squad off in his deployment zone, and the 2 exorcists. T3 makes a huge survivability difference, they dropped like flies to my bolters and assault cannons. Repentia hit hard but as soon as they got hit back they collapsed. His melta dominion squad was pretty brutal, I didn't expect that. Their immolator moved 12 inches for a vanguard move, then top of 1 they disembarked 3 inches away and moved 6, putting them in melta range of my tanks. I'll have to remember that next time I fight sisters. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Oct 1, 2017 |

It makes +1 to hit really great when using plasma or other self-inflicted damage, because it becomes impossible for them to explode. A die face showing a 1 automatically misses, but the +1 makes it a 2 and the plasma/ion/whatever doesn't detonate. Good stuff.

It's been a while since I took photos of poo poo. The Sicaran Omega looks really cool, but I think the rules are trash (170 points base, 24" heavy 6 plasma gun that can overcharge to heavy 3 s9 -1 d3). Doesn't get anything to ignore the penalty for movement, so if you want to get in range you can't overcharge without a -1 penalty.  Fire raptor is cool and good. Lots of points, but also lots of bullets. Really good at killing primaris and putting damage on light/medium vehicles.    Fat land raider  Hero of my most recent game putting 14 wounds on a land raider in a single turn  Some mans   A contemptor  My entire army as of now  Compared to June right after 8th dropped

Booley, your Bangels are beautiful. Love how that army looks all together. Played a doubles tourney today with my Templars (crusader squad and termie chaplain in a land raider, melta tac squad in a rhino) alongside Iron Hands (Contemptor, Leviathan, techmarine, 2 tacs in razorbacks) Game 1 was against pre heresy "World Eaters" using Iron Hands rules and all Devastators and buff characters and Grey Knights doing Paladin MSU. I didn't like this game at all. It was just our poo poo getting tied up and doing nothing. Game 2 was against Dark Angels and Death Guard, new players who were super awkward. We called it turn 4 when they were almost tabled and we'd lost a few hullpoints and 3 tacs. After game 2 my buddy/teammate and I went to a pub for dinner and had a few drinks, but he outpaced me by a lot and that lead to: Game 3, where my teammate was drunk and talking to folks in the store and I was playing both our armies vs. two great dudes with Death Guard and Night Lords. They seized on us (2nd time that day) and because of the stupid deployment and my confidence in getting turn 1, there were 60 poxwalkers in my grill turn 1. I got a little salty since I didn't get to use all my favorite stuff, but somehow managed to pull off a win, levelling their armies and holding 2 out of 3 objectives, taking 3rd place and some store credit. It was down to the last few dierolls and just how I like my hams to be. Observations: - of the 16 or so people playing, only 3 or 4 had fully painted armies, myself and my teammate being 2 of them - armies were space marines, chaos, death guard, and a small smattering of GK and Guard, no xenos at all - when my teammate drunkenly asked how he could help me, I jokingly asked him for a Repulsor, which he got me, so I guess I'm painting his vespid now - this event was run way better than the last doubles tourney I went to at this store, and it showed. People had more fun overall from the sound of it - crusader squads are terrible close combat units, jesus christ - Leviathan dreadnoughts are stupid good - gunline character spam armies are really unfun to play against - one out of three ain't bad?

Fluffwise, they're off Konor, a former Forge world associated with Ultramar, recently apparently reclassified back to full Forge world status. Note the cunningly concealed inverted omega on the Dunecrawler. I didn't realise until I googled Konor again just now that the place has been mentioned in the 8th ed fluff. Now I'm worried my color scheme is all wrong.

I think Dakka hit it's peak with the rape theme models thread. https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/707514.page Mods locked it then reopened it banning anything but talk about how good the models were. And mods repeatedly stepping in to deal with criticism of rape themed models. There were a bunch of nerds being creepy as well.

Thundercloud posted:I think Dakka hit it's peak with the rape theme models thread. Good loving christ. Still, had a game against my buddy's mostly FW iron warriors and I'm now filled with the desire to burn forge world to the ground. He was running 2 hellforged contemptors with dual butcher cannons, a hellforged leviathan with dual butcher arrays and hellflamers and a sicaran with las sponsons backed up by a terminator lord, demon prince, havocs and obliterators. He goes first and takes my contemptor down to 2 wounds, my repulsor down to 1 wound, and kills my redemptor and 2/3 intercessor squads. I took 10 wounds off his sicaran with hellblasters and killed his prince with my librarian but there after that the second volley reduced me to 2 intercessors tying up a contemptor in melee, my apothecary on 2 wounds and my librarian on 4. 8/16/32 36" s8 ap1 d2 shots on a bs2+ platform with reroll ones can gently caress right off. He does at least accept that its flagrant bullshit and won't play it against anyone but the local cheeselord whose no better and someone else he particularly dislikes. After that I had a rematch against the kid I played on wednesday who'd revised his death guard based on our post game chat so he was running 3 blight haulers, a surgeon and all his possessed in a giant 20 man murderblob instead of 4 separate squads which lead to a game with much more back and forth rather than me as good as tabling him, ending with something like 8 points to me and 6/7 to him. I might give that forgeworld list another go once I've finished my vindicator and reivers since with those I did at least have some semblance of a gameplan.

MasterSlowPoke posted:Their Death Guard thread is one of the saltiest things I've read in a while. A majority of the posters seem to be engaged in a furious competition to prove themselves the most pathetic. There's a 9-page thread of back and forth over whether or not your Guard army should be allowed to use different regiment doctrines or not, where the consensus on one side seems to be "no, but only if you painted then in the Official Scheme, otherwise it's fluffy.' Like genuinely if you painted Cadians grey then they must be Cadians, but green ones aren't.

GW has a deliberate policy now of directing as much hobby web traffic through GW community for news and rumours, and other topics through facebook where people are less anonymous. This is leading to a lot less forum traffic. GW are also forming relationships with vloggers etc with a decent following who put out decent quality content (see the press copies of Shadespire sent out). You should try and get camhammer on that.

Yeah, I was pretty much told this verbatim when I was at that interview (which incidentally, I didn't succeed at. T'was brutal, but at least they were nice enough to give us free access to the diorama halls and the business tab in Bugman's). Honestly it's a good policy, boards like Warseer, Dakka and /tg/ are festering shitpiles and honestly are gonna only serve to scare away people from the hobby. I'd rather get my news/rumours from some shiny happy nerd with an early access copy on Youtube than some scabrous neckbeard on /tg/ who went bin-diving in Nottingham.

No-one hates GW as deeply or loudly as places like Warseer or Dakka, so it's in GW's best interests to give people the oppertunity to avoid them. Presumably this is also why GW have started just hopping on leaks and announcing stuff early now. More transparency = less people googling for leaks = less running into people screaming to high heaven about GW.

 Hmm... in the Index, the Tank Orders ability specifically forbids Tank Commanders from issuing orders to Characters in Leman Russes. Pask's version of the rule has no such restriction. In the Codex, generic Tank Commanders also lost the restriction and it reads exactly the same as Pask's. That means that Tank Commanders can now issue orders to each other, and even Pask. This changes things a bit, but Tank Commanders still cost 167 points base and normal Russes are only 122... Do "your opponent must subtract 1 from any hit rolls that target your unit" buffs stack? For example, would smoke launchers and a "shrouding"-type psychic power stack and force your opponent to subtract 2 from the hit rolls?

poo poo man, if Crusaders are in the AM codex, does this mean They won't be in the eventual Inquisition book? I'm glad the index books will always be valid. I don't want to have to pick up like 6 different codices.

they already aren't part of the Inquisition; in the Index, they are part of the Adeptus Ministorum faction. It seems likely to me that Inquisition + Ministorum + Sororitas + Witch Hunters + Assassinorum and probably Custodes will all be jammed into one mixed nuts Imperium Codex

Stick a 4th gun on them. Done. Other than that, give them distinctive paint jobs. In the original Tau codex that was the main difference between Commanders and regular Crisis suits.
