Genghis Cohen posted:Wow, that was not clear about the autarch's points cost! Wonder why they didn't list it in his equipment then? It only appears under special rules, which generally don't have a points cost, e.g. the psykers' identical rune armour rule. Autarch is the only unit with that rule, besides Yriel whose points cost includes kit - there is no reason for it to be a separately costed item. It’s there on wraithblades as well - for some reason the force shield option is listed under abilities rather than equipment again. It’s bizarrely and pointlessly obfuscatory - all models with force shields either have them built on or have to take another thing to get them (ghost axes) so why not include it with the other costs!? One thing I’ll say about the iPad edition is that, while I’m still grumpy about the circumstances that lead to me having to get it, it genuinely is “enhanced” - when you’re looking at a units entry you can click any piece of equipment or ability and it will pop up the stat line and the points cost, and you can get the points cost per model of the unit by clicking their force org icon. No flicking to the end of the book needed. It makes catching things like this way easier. In happy painting news, I’ve finished this lovely thing just in time for my game:  Technically I have a few final assembly steps - part of the turret is held together by tiny strips of duct tape while I wait for some magnets to arrive (because wow has it not been my week for things I order turning up on time). I found some more badly painted late nineties reapers in my bits box though, and I’m only one away from having three MSUs. Looks like I’m going to have to paint at least one more of the wretched things.

Quite a daemon mate! Very impressive conversion. One_Wing posted:It’s there on wraithblades as well - for some reason the force shield option is listed under abilities rather than equipment again. It’s bizarrely and pointlessly obfuscatory - all models with force shields either have them built on or have to take another thing to get them (ghost axes) so why not include it with the other costs!? Ah, that makes a bit more sense re the force shield. Still another dumb artefact of their system of putting points separately. I haven't met a single person who prefers the nebulous power point system. I know they exist, but really it seems the rules writers tried to force a paradigm shift away from points that no one asked for, and hardly anyone has adopted. I can see why common weapons etc are costed (we had this before with the old armoury system) but it's applied weirdly and inconsistently. Swooping hawks are base priced cheaper than guardians despite being vastly better, because guardians come with shuriken catapults included and hawks pay more then the model's own price for a gun (no other model can buy the gun; it's separate for no reason). Should've stuck with points in the army list. I think I'm going through the same process as you of sorting through my bits box and rearranging my units a bit. I can make 3 more shining spears out of what were windriders, and cannibalise a couple more to convert a Farseer and warlock on bikes.

I know the preview blurb on the carnifex in the new white dwarf mentions they bring the Swiss army carnifex back and every bit in the kit will have rules.

Dang, I'm looking at the Tyranid Elites choices and I don't like hardly any of them. What do you guys (who run them) pick to fill out a Brigade? I can see going Zoanthropes for some Smite spammy goodness, but with the upcoming (rumored) cap I'm not sure what to take. Carnifexes should be Elites.

Dicking around in BattleScribe, I've abandoned trying to fit it into a Brigade, and am now fiddling with two Battalions and a Spearhead. Much easier without having to figure out what Elites or Fast Attack have to be included, and I'll cede 2 CP for not having that headache.

Tried out assault hellblasters and man they're a lot better than I was giving them credit for. I think they're actually not great for a primaris force that needs the extra strength, but having a bunch of tough plasma guys that can just shred stuff at 24 inches and can advance around shooting is super useful in a regular marine list, more useful than the rapid fire hellblasters I think. They still cost too much (For about the price of 5 of them you could bring 2 5-man tac squads with a plasma and combi-plasma each) but they can really gently caress stuff up. They especially shine against something like sisters, wounding them on 2s and blowing through their armor saves while getting the mobility and 24 inch volume of fire. That ap-4 is rough if stuff doesn't have an invuln save. And if there's a reroll source you've still got the option of supercharging up to T7 to threaten some vehicles. Against T8 they can at least put a few AP-4 wounds onto them to finish off something that's been hit by your lascannons already. I'd think 150 would be a better price for them. Here's what I'll be trying out next time I get a chance, an 1850 list. 1850-2000 is pretty popular here. Crimson Fists Battallion Gravis captain, Armor Indomitus (Maybe Storm of Fire?) Lieutenant with jump pack, storm bolter, Fist of Vengeance 5x intercessors with GL and power sword 5x intercessors with GL and power sword 5x tac marines with flamer and combi-flamer Razorback with TL assault cannon and storm bolter Apothecary Venerable dreadnought with TL lascannon and missile launcher 6x assault bolter inceptors (I want to give them a fair shake) Crimson Fists spearhead Librarian with force sword 5x assault hellblasters 5x assault hellblasters Devastators with storm bolter, cherub, 4 lascannons, 2 bolter marines chutche2 fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Oct 29, 2017 |

They're practically tailor made to turbo-gently caress everything T6 and lower and do so with much greater reliable (that is, two shots each) range than the standard versions.

So, I inherited a bunch of imperial guard. I have 0 urge to play 40k, and got some offers to sell them. Can someone help me parse out how much to charge? There are:code:No paint, plastics assembled with cement, a little green stuff covering gaps. Some of the guardsman missing bayonets. Not looking to make bank on this, I'd just like to unload it and maybe turn it into shiny new shadespire.

I have finished my AdMech just in time for Armies on Parade.           The Fluffstory for those of you who are into that kind of thing: Back during the Horus Heresy, Archmagos Brackmann of Forgeworld Draupnir was the Mechanicum envoy to the War Hounds, and later as they became World Eaters. "Fortunately", the Forgeworld suffered extreme "communications difficulties" when every Astropath mysteriously came down with an abrupt case of radiation poisoning and Draupnir spent most of the Heresy sitting at home shooting any envoys, scouts or warfleets out of the sky until the whole thing blew over. Once the Archmagos had confirmed that the Imperial side had won, she swiftly re-established communications and paid the Imperium their complete back-tithe which did a lot to stifle any forthcoming questions. Forgeworld Draupnir is a ringworld. A proper one - a vast mechanical orbital band around a sun. It's one of the true relics of the Dark Age of Technology and its output is comparable to an entire subsector. Accordingly, the Imperium has been taxing the poo poo out of it - Draupnir has been churning out starships relentlessly and is the backbone of the entire sector's Imperial Navy. However, to meet this tithe while also defending against constant invasions from everyone who rightly identifies the worth of Draupnir, huge sections of the ringworld's superstructure have been cannibalized to fuel the dockyards. By the 41st millennium fully 25% of the Ringword's mass has been harvested, leaving Draupnir in the shape of a gigantic C and on the brink of critical systems failure. The Mechanicum lacks the knowledge to repair the ringworld and so Draupnir is on the brink. The Archmagos, in response, has declared a crusade: The armies of Forgeworld Draupnir are to go forth into the galaxy, find every starship the Forgeworld has ever made, reclaim it - by force if necessary - and then bring it back to Draupnir for re-integration with the homeworld. It's the galaxy's largest and most violent product recall and no one is safe. Thanqol fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Oct 29, 2017 |

I have been hunting down alternate renegade and daemon miniatures for a while now as I feel the GW options for both are pretty uniform. There are some amazing sculpts in that game which I got on Kickstarter but of course I just have to get down and paint them. I have got the biggest one out of the way now! Bad side is it is boardgame plastic, that big fucker was miscast and I realised too later, the mold lines are atrocious and the thin bits are bendy. Also....so......many.......tentacles...
