richyp posted:b) Cool but too confusing when they'll look too much like the Neophyte stuff I wouldn't just because it's the only bit that universally telegraphs "neophyte" regardless of what body it's on. If you can, get your hands on Empire Free Company heads. They have a great rag-tag, disheveled vibe that'll work for cult guard. There's also a nonzero chance that GSC allied guard will have access to their own unique doctrine / orders / relics, and you'll want to be very clear who's who when it comes down to it.

Crosspostin'Safety Factor posted:Finally finished another squad after forging through various distractions like Catachans and SLAMBO. It's been a long, long time. I've continued my trend of Too Many Checkers and simple individual heraldry. It's probably too much work for simple tactical marines, but I think it's been worth it. I also used 10 phobos pattern bolters and 10 chainswords from the MkIII kit as I had a bunch laying around. My MkIII are being used as support/heavy support squads so they don't need them. I really like the look of the MkIV armor with the MkIII weapons and wish I had done all of my tacticals like that. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Oct 18, 2017 |

Picked up my putrid blightkings today for my AoS army but also to use as Death Guard posessed. Holy poo poo this is a great kit. Totally stealing the scythe for my typhus conversion. It's 3 sprues when my terminators for example were 2 sprues.

I am gonna find the dude who designed the Termagant sprue and force them to clean the mould lines off an entire warehouse full of gant boxes. On the positive side I have a much greater appreciation of the Marines sprues now.

Are the Perry historical 28mm WWII models in the right scale for 40k guardsmen or are they gonna have unseemly proportions Same question for the 28mm models from the Plastic Soldier Company Can either of these be fixed with the appropriate Imperial Guard bits?

Dryfitting Mortarion and oh my god I want to hit whoever designed this kit. The right arm is not a precise enough joint to make it comfortably seated, and it looks like the extra cabling isn't going to fit properly as a result. Amazing.

With the new Codex I decided to start a guard army, I wanted something a little different so after experimenting I come up with faux-Praetorians using Victoria's Pith Helmet Male and Female heads on GW Cadian bodies. Pip Pip Cheerio!  LET ME SEE YOUR WAR FACE GUVNAH!   It's hard to tell, but this one is a female head. They're a little smaller than the males, and they're hard to position on the Cadian torsos because the back of the helmet interferes with the collar of the coat.  This is my command tank, so it's got an extra comm unit and the commander is magnetized so I can swap him out.  I forgot to put the lasgun in the slot, I fully magnetized the turret and all the secondary weapons.   Sir E. Nigel Davenport III in command. I'm going to have to come up with silly British names for all my officers.

If I get any time tonight I'll see about gluing some stuff together. I'll probably just use the Tempestus guys as more Neophytes, but one of those fuckers is definitely going to be a greatcoat wearing baldy.

I'm wondering why they haven't previewed any warlord traits or relics though. I hope we get those? Also Cheap Dire Avengers w/ Asuremen who can all re-roll 1's w/o an Autarch seems pretty great. Definitely gonna pick up more Dire Avengers.

I'd wait to see exactly how much they cost. 16 points is fewer than 17. Why are all of our stratagems so expensive when the typical Craftworlds list will only have a few CP? I guess this confirms that Craftworlds attribute leak, which means that the best Craftworld is likely Alaitoc, if all of the stratagems are going to be like this.

 At the end of that article they mention that jetbikes have been "re-tuned and much improved." You know what's concerning? They haven't mentioned exactly how much cheaper Dire Avengers are. If you've read enough of these you can tell that they kind of brush over the not-so-great news and really tout the good stuff...

Phyresis posted:I'd wait to see exactly how much they cost. 16 points is fewer than 17. As for the stratagems, they're fairly comparable to others. It's 1CP for a single re-roll, so 2CP to re-roll all hits and increase charge range for a unit in certain circumstances seems fair. 3 CP to resurrect a ~250pt unit where it stands isn't unreasonable too. Edit: other armies have similar 2CP stratagems to re-roll hits on specific units JoshTheStampede posted:I didn't see the leak, what were the rest? This was posted on 4chan just after the first Craftworld blog, supposedly surfaced on Facebook a couple of weeks ago:

Dire Avengers should cost 13 points per model at most.Artum posted:Wonder how the ynnari will work with the new codex stuff. I'm almost positive that it will be just like the other chapters/legions/forgeworlds/regiments in that the entire Detachment must be comprised of units from that faction in order to gain the benefits.

feeling like we're seeing certain traits recycled over and over they probably just should've put the -1 to hit outside of 12', 6+++, and +1Ld in the big book like they did with the universal warlord traits.
