Hi guys. I'll be doing a Shadespire tournament in Birmingham UK on 10th December. But now I have to be really organised, sell tickets online and very likely organise prizes (GW community won't do it with events below about 100 people). So I need some advice. What is the most secure cheap or free ticket selling app or service or button? What is the best way to create a small website to do this? Wix?

I've never used it on the planner side, but I see a lot of people using EventBrite.

gently caress the Herald of Tzeentch. gently caress the shoulder contact points. gently caress the hand contact points. Somewhat gently caress the foot contact points. Bugger the ceremonial knife. Bugger the instructions which transpose 73 and 37. There is no piece 73. There is zero grip on the arms so weapons don’t really get any purchase.

Unfortunately, Forge World has completely dropped the ball since Inferno's release. For some very valid reasons.  As a result, I'd be hesitant to encourage someone to pick up 30k right now. At least until it gets back on track with the rulebook, Angelus, etc.Artum posted:Weirdly enough I actually kind of like it, since once you know how much weapons and units cost you can price stuff out on the fly.

40K really needs to add The Price Of Failure: 30K also has additional restrictions in place if you want to take your Primarch and penalties for losing him.

Hypothetical situation. Say you listened to the latest Badcast, and say that episode made you seriously consider playing Tyranids. If said thought revolved around focusing on genestealers, what would be a good list?

Depends on the point level, but the Getting Started box is a really great jumping off point as a Trygon tunnel and a bunch of Genestealers is a solid combination.

If said thought revolved around focusing on genestealers, what would be a good list? I was in your shoes a couple weeks ago and the answer was the new start collecting box and another box of stealers. They put out a sickening number of rending attacks, have a 5++, and can advance and charge on the same turn - they're pretty loving sick. Plus the Broodlord is awesome with his non-degrading profile and is a great beatstick in his own right.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:What features, if any, are good for Genestealers? Consider some toxin sacs for Gorgon - they synch nicely with rending claws. You get your rend on 6+, the same roll you get your +1 damage from the sacs. Gorgon adaptation lets you re-roll 1's to wound for even more opportunities. Gorgon strat turns your 6+ toxin sacs into 5+. Unless your opponent is in the know they will underestimate what these guys can do for a while.

So what would be a good starting force, say 1000? It looks like getting two of the Start Collecting boxes would get things going nicely.PierreTheMime posted:Are you talking about upgrades (biomorphs)?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Even toxin sacs? Toxin sacs are not a bad option, but I’m a fan of quantity over quality when it comes to Nids. It is correct that you’ll be doing 2 damage for each six but a lot of times you’ll be battling models with 1W and it will be wasted. That’s not to say it’s not great when you get a few 6s against Primaris or something, but 4pts is a TON for the chance. You’re losing 1/4 of your models and that’s just not worth it to me.

So, for shits and giggles, I put together a list. It would either be amazing, or awful. I'm not sure. Spearhead Detachment - Hive Fleet Kraken HQ - Old One Eye Heavy - 3x Carnifex - 4x Devourers - Spore Cysts - Enhanced Senses Heavy - 3x Carnifex - 4x Devourers - Spore Cysts - Enhanced Senses Heavy - 2x Carnifex - 4x Devourers - Spore Cysts - Enhanced Senses Heavy - 3x Carnifex - 2x Pairs Scything Talons - Spore Cysts - Tusks - Adrenal Glands - Toxin Sacs - Bone Mace Heavy - 3x Carnifex - 2x Pairs Scything Talons - Spore Cysts - Tusks - Adrenal Glands - Toxin Sacs - 1x has a Bone Mace, other 2 do not. Heavy - 2x Carnifex - 2x Pairs Scything Talons - Spore Cysts - Tusks - Adrenal Glands - Toxin Sacs I only need a dozen more Carnifex models to pull it off.

I'm looking to get in to 40K properly so my girlfriend's getting me some models for Christmas. Been playing with a friend for a while and using his stuff and it seems like great fun. Want to go Tyranids because they're cool, have a new codex and I've got some badly painted models left over from when I was like 9 or 10 years old that I can use as a bonus. Picked up the Codex, did a fair bit of reading and I think I'm going to go for 2x 2016 Start Collecting Boxes and a 1x 2017 Start Collecting box. With the old crap I've got at home that gives me: 2x Hive Tyrant 1x Broodlord 1x Trygon/Trygon Prime 20x Genestealers 20x Gargoyles (-10 because I'm taking wings to put on warriors to make shrikes) 6x Tyranid Warriors/Shrikes 2x Biovores/Pyrovores 3x Rippers Some Termigaunts Some Spore Mines That's a decent enough army to get going with right? I'm planning on magnetising the Hive Tyrants and Trygon/Trygon Prime so I can switch Hive Tyrant strategies up and play with a Swarm Lord/Mawloc for variety. I feel like this gives me a good few options for playing. Plenty of deep strike potential, loads of mobility for objective based games, can utilise different Hive Fleet powers reasonably well, Flyrants, enough trash to cover the Broodlord if Genestealers are deep-striking etc ...

Does anybody else feel like the Typhoon Missile Launcher is incredibly over costed? I've got a few vehicles modeled with them and every time I see how much they end up costing I pick something else. 157 pts for a MM/ML Land Speeder seems like way too much.

Yes, and so is a normal missile launcher. As many points as a lascannon for -1s - 1ap, but getting the option of d6 bolter shots. I think they need to either drop in points or the frag missiles need to get better.
