Does there exist some kind of program that will make Magic card sized data sheets of my units for easy reference during a game? I printed out my Battle Scribe sheets, but fumbling through six sheets of paper to find the value I need is frustrating.

I hope this becomes a thing. Seen so many fan trailers that never end up done, it’s safe to remain cautiously optimistic

I then paste them into a normal document file, fitting a few to a page, and laminate.

Had a game last Friday wherein my brother in law tried to figure out null deploy/go-second advantage. It did not go well. I won something like 13-5 because the mission was 1pt per objective held and/or unit killed per turn, and my Cult and gribblies could pop up everywhere. Highlights include my spending the entire game unsuccessfully trying to down a Ghostkeel that gave no fucks, some Genestealers wrecking a squad of Fire Warriors and half of a Broadside before being absolutely shot to poo poo, and watching a 200 pt unit that GW tries to sell as a baller melee monster (Haruspex) go down in one turn after only killing a single Stealth Suit. In good news, using more vehicles for the Genestealer Cult and leaving actual 'Stealers and Broodlords to Nids seems to do the trick: your opponents can stay in CC with Rending Claws or they can back away to get blasted by tank fire while your big bugs close in for the kill.

Liquid Communism posted:Tourneys having their own painting rules is fine, but also isn't the RAW. As long as my opponent isn't trying to get a game advantage by confusing opponents with their paint scheme, why do I care? This is factually incorrect. The codices are explicit that (for example) Ultramarines should use the Ultramarines tactics, and even that successors with known founding Chapters should use their founder's tactics. Only successors with no clear founder are suggested to choose a tactic from the table. Since the only thing that marks out one Chapter from another is the paint scheme, the necessary logical followup is that you're supposed to use the "correct" Chapter for how you've painted your dudes. GW are strict about it at their own events, which suggests that's their interpretation too. In the real world of course, the majority of people take the attitude that they don't mind. I don't care either - I've played against enough grey plastic nonsense armies in my time that if my opponent has bothered to paint their dudes to a reasonable standard I don't give the slightest poo poo what minor special rule they want to pick. But this whole "it's not RAW that I have to!!!" argument is silly, because any reasonable reading of the rules suggests exactly the opposite.

The requirement is for there to be a "Space Marines Warlord" and you can give them to any Space Marines CHARACTER. Dark Angels are Dark Angels, not Space Marines, and their codex references "Dark Angels Warlord" and "Dark Angels CHARACTER" respectively. bonds0097 posted:Presumably because the SM codex explicitly states that DAngels, Bangels and Wolves can't use the stuff in the warlord traits, stratagems, relics section of the book. Annoyingly that section does say Blood Angels and Space Wolves but doesn't mention DA by name. It does include the following handy text though which makes the point I was making above more explicitly: "In the rules described in this section we often refer to 'Space Marines units'. This is shorthand for any ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit that has one of the following Faction keywords: <CHAPTER>, ULTRAMARINES, IMPERIAL FISTS, SALAMANDERS, WHITE SCARS, RAVEN GUARD, IRON HANDS, CRIMSON FISTS or BLACK TEMPLARS. A Space Marines detachment is therefore one which only includes units with one of these keywords. Note that other Space Marine Chapters, such as the Blood Angels and the Space Wolves, deviate significantly in terms of organisation and fighting styles. These Chapters therefore cannot make use of any of the rules or abilities listed in this section, and instead have their own rules."

I've been over my stuff and I'm not finding anything in C:SM or the 40k main beyond 'painting your models is a cool hobby'. The traits are keyed to faction keyword, not a paintjob. Am I missing a line here somewhere?

Liquid Communism posted:Not to be a dick, but can you make with the rules quote? There isn't a specific rule linking paint to rules. What he's saying is that the rules state that if your Chapter is "Ultramarines" then you can't use benefits that are for White Scars, and that the only way to differentiate Chapters is by color scheme. Therefore the expectation ("necessary logical follow-up") is that if you have blue marines with giant U symbols all over then you should be using Ultramarine rules. In reality there is no obligation so long as your list is clear. I don't recall any tournaments requiring it either. Very few people are going to care, and outside of Space Marines most people won't know what color scheme goes with which faction anyway.

No big event will prevent you from playing your Ultramarines as Imperial Fists, or whatever else you deem the superior chapter of the day.

I love the little Nurgling just chilling on the Great Unclean One's shoulder. I wonder if there's a promotion process, like every Great Unclean One started off as a Nurgling and just continued to please Papa Nurgle until he became big and awesome.

Ku'gath was a runty Nurgling who fell into Nurgle's plague cauldron while big Papa N was brewing his most perfect plague. Lil' Ku'gath drank the entire thing and transformed into one of the most powerful GUO's ever and Nurgle just kinda laughed the entire thing off. Ku'gath on the other hand got a giant complex about it and now travels around trying to recreate the plague with what scraps of notes Nurgle kept around.

If they do the same AOS Khorne aesthetic in 40k, my wallet will be in trouble. Slaanesh and Khorne are my jam. Tzeeentch and Nurgle not so much. Edit: I thought everyone's favorite was Foulspawn! dexefiend fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Dec 26, 2017 |
