I thrive on people's approval of my painting, because the gameplay certainly isn't turning out to be very satisfying. Naramyth posted:Chapter approved preview is up at Frontline. No mention of soup going away. And character targeting is now closest model. BOO!!! BOOOOOO!!! I'll save my rant on CA after I get a chance to pour through it, but suffice to say I am not very happy with what I have seen. Beginning to feel like a totally overblown and missed opportunity. I think the accuracy of previous leaks allowed a certain level of proliferation of bullshit to gain to much credibility. Most of the stuff everyone was clamoring for seemed like such obvious changes.

Did anything happen with the rumoured change for getting first turn (i.e. player with least units get +1 to a roll-off, rather than automatically going first)? I haven't seen any confirmation of that being in CA yet.

As someone who is just getting in to this hobby, I'm a little taken aback by how expensive things are getting already. It was supposed to start off getting two of the start collecting boxes from my girlfriend as a Christmas present but now it's spiralled in to getting an extra box, magnets, green stuff, books, tools, primers, paint brushes etc .. and I haven't even gotten any of the paint yet. Do Games Workshop make much of a markup on the miniatures/books themselves or is it all in the accessories? I'm relatively happy paying for all this because I understand it's paying the salaries of lots of artists and game designers but I'd be a bit shook if it turned they were making like 1:20 profit on models or something.

On their most recent financial statements they made 30m pre-tax profit on 155m revenue (excluding royalties), 19% net profit margin. That's very healthy but not amazing. Their markup is impossible to know without knowing what their internal allocations are for overhead costs. The per-sprue cost of a plastic kit is gently caress all, but that doesn't tell you anything about anything. Iirc they make trade sales at 40% discount to retail, which gives you an indication of where the line is for a sale to be profitable.

I'm probably going to skip it for the moment, maybe buy an ebook at best. My only army is Blood Angels and it feels a little bit pointless so shell out for a hard copy.

So I grabbed some oldschool scourges today. Excited to ditch my hellions for now, since they seem extremely "eh" on paper. Haven't had a chance to actually run any yet.Deified Data posted:I will because I run Dark Eldar and don't expect to get a codex for a very long time.  e; Also, partner picked up a pretty solid Avatar of Khaine a couple weeks back. Figured I'd finally take a picture. Sorry for huge size.

Zuul the Cat posted:Out of curiosity, how many of you are actually planning on picking up Chapter Approved? I booked one from my FLGS, but it's going to be shared with my brother, my two roommates as well as me (Dark Eldar, Tau, Sisters of Battle, Genestealer Cults and Harlequins in that order) for what it's worth. I understand there are a lot of problems with GW's updating method, but if I'm going to justify the purchase then it's because there is an actual updating method now. I'd also prefer a digital living rulebook solution to be clear and there's a bunch of awkward growing pains (looking at you, Imperial Guard Conscript and Commissar changes), but GW actually updating non-codex armies is a new step for them into the mid 00's of game design. Give them another 10 years and maybe they'll boldly adopt early 2010's game design philosophy

Blood Angels preview is up and IT IS GOOD AS HELL https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/27/chapter-focus-blood-angels/ Edit: Here are the highlights for the lazy among you. Chapter Tactic: The Red Thirst. In any turn in which a unit with this ability charged, was charged, or made a Heroic Intervention you may add 1 to its wound rolls in the Fight Phase There's a strategem to give a generic character the black rage, another to reroll all hits for a terminator squad after deep striking. A 1 CP strategem that allows you to pick up a jump infantry off the table and deepstrike back in. gently caress, this looks so good. Pendent fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Nov 27, 2017 |

All I can think about is that Death Company (or anything really) with a priest in tow are going to be wounding MEQ on 2's. There's a strong rumor going around that DC get Berserker style fight twice though.

Pendent posted:Blood Angels preview is up and IT IS GOOD AS HELL I am so excited for this. I was worried that we'd get garbage, and while our chapter tactics won't do a ton for shooty units (though it'll make people not want to charge even a tactical squad) its huge for the viability of assault. My only remaining hope is that one of our unrevealed strategems helps with getting a charge off out of deep strike. Assuming Black Rage stays the same at +1a on a charge, my current 5 man squad (axe + chainsword) hitting MEQ have 15 attacks that wound on 2s and another 5 wounding on 3s.
