Russ has a quote saying how cool the Squats are, which automatically makes them bad because Russ is bad. But then Lord Duncan of Thinned Coats has a 30k Squat Militia army so I'm torn.

Pendent posted:Somebody on Bolter and Chainsword got a peek at the new White Dwarf. Sounds like Blood Angels will be up for preorder on the 2nd with a release on the 9th, will be getting most of the stuff we've been missing from the Vanilla codex like the Hunter/Stalker/Stormhawk. There's also supposed to be an upgrade kit and a unique Lieutenant model being released as well. It sounds pretty credible and matches up with the timelines that we would expect. Hopefully that bodes well for the Dangles getting their missing stuff as well.

Cross-posted from the 30k  complete!        I’ll give this evil bastard a couple of little plants and gloss his gems once the regular layers of varnish are added, but ~my blending~ will be a lot harder to see after the cotes, so I decided to document him in his fragile glory.

While generally on the subject of terrain, does anyone know if any shops are having a Black Friday sale on terrain besides these guys? For that matter, is anyone having a sale on minis? I'm getting a bonus for the holidays and want to make it last hard--terrain seems like the way to go--but Papa needs some Hive Guard and a Trygon

Pendent posted:It is rumored that smite spam is also being nerfed separately to any unit changes as well. I think we'd been hearing it was going down to three casts per turn, although that's obviously just a rumor. Malefic Lords aside, were there any other practical and egregiously effective ways to smite-spam that couldn't be solved with similar points hikes? PierreTheMime posted:This works for Tyranid but essentially invalidates Daemon Princes. Because Daemon Princes were deliberately given a reduced value to work with the existing rule, just like Gulliman, OOE, etc. Ideally they should all have more wounds instead of getting a reduced stat line to skirt under an arbitrary limit. I like an 18-24" range for this because it still prevents the character being blapped on the first turn by a billion lascannons, but gives an opponent a chance to shoot them with regular bolter equivalents before they're in charge range. I think 6" or 12" would have very little effect as many of these units will move much farther in a single turn.

Primaris Psykers. I don't know about the Malefic Lord's other powers, but I feel like if Primaris were costed much more then you wouldn't take them at all since Astropaths deliver the same powers for a third of the price.

How do the Zoanthropes work? Obviously you can do the big smite stratagem, otherwise are they a bunch of individual Smite casters?

Corrode posted:How do the Zoanthropes work? Obviously you can do the big smite stratagem, otherwise are they a bunch of individual Smite casters? Pretty much. Between the advance rolls and 24" Smite they have a decent threat range, and they're a good choice to channel support powers like Catalyst through to reduce the risk of perils on a HT. The Neurothropes make them a bit more reliable & resilient to boot. The psychic barrage thing is just something to try for if the opportunity arises. I have a few regular opponents who love using clumped up firebases with a supporting character or two in the middle, and I think it would be hilarious to cripple that for 1CP.

Entropy238 posted:Thanks. Yeah I'm aware of the Shrikes – I find it pretty weird that they wouldn't include a usable unit within the codex. They're no included due to a lack of an official model. Index use is basically just a little bone thrown to people who've converted some in old editions.  As far as Tyranid primes go, there's probably no universally agreed thing here. Competitively, pretty much no. Casually, talk to your opponent. With friends, talk to your friends. [edit] Wait gently caress, now I want index rules for the Parasite of Mortrex!
