Pendent posted:Just rip that hand off and give him a Chainsword- the hands from the normal marine kits don't look bad so there's plenty of options. After the codex dropped I swapped out an arm on my lovingly converted captain so he could have a thunderhammer If I did that I would probably magnetize them so I could play around with other Chapters. I really like the DA ability.

Been watching some reviews of the demon codex and I'm sad Slaanesh hadn't received any new models, or even any name changes. Still holding out hope for my sparklebois to get a codex, but I know in my heart they won't. May just finish painting up what I've got and move on to something that gets a bit more love from GW. Love the EC lore, love slaanesh, but I've got zero incentive to play them outside of narrative games. They did get some pretty crazy poo poo in the daemons codex, (shutting down an enemy character completely, advance and charge aura) but I wanna get hype about fighting rather than worry about getting ranged off the table turn one. Also gently caress summoning. If custodes turns out to be a small elite army like grey knights, I might go that route, or maybe a space marine chapter that will get a codex. I dunno, just kinda bummed I don't have any fun new models or rules to look forward to.

If we don't get Slaanesh rumblings by year's end, then I'd start to worry.

What kills me most is that, there are a couple double page spreads, showcasing all the plastic greater daemons and their cronies but Slaanesh is no where to be seen. Not even a lesser daemon

It looks like I might be biased and it was just that Death Guard had recently been released so they were the hot Chaos faction? My friends want to play AoS, but I'm loathe to get into another miniatures game after dipping into 40k. I do want to paint some Tzeentch stuff though. Most of the models are compatible back and forth between games if I do decide to go that route, right?

Correct on both counts--all the daemon stuff for Tzeentch is transferable, but not the Thousand Sons or Magnus. A bunch of new Khorne stuff came out back in late 2015 around the time that WHFB was doing End times/Age of Sigmar released, including the new bloodthirster and skarbrand. Then in late 2016/early 2017 we got all the new Tzeentch stuff, including Tzaangors, Magnus, and the new Lord of Change, and then we got Death Guard/Mortarion after 8th edition released at midyear/August, and now we're getting new Nurgle daemon stuff for 40k/AoS. They haven't released Slaanesh stuff in part because they were covering the other three. I'll be very surprised if we don't see a new Keeper of Secrets to round out the cycle in the next 12-18 months.

The main difference is that the Thousand Sons and Khorne Demonkin stuff was mostly a few models. If you check the Thousand Sons page on the website, you get Magnus, Ahriman, Psykers, Terminators, and standard Rubrics. I don't even think Demonkin have a page. Meanwhile, Death Guard got two types of Terminators, several special characters, three unique vehicles, two basic troop types, and are now getting more love with the first new Chaos Demon release coming up. It's easy to think Nurgle is being overpushed when he's getting the most comprehensive look-over, but I just honestly hope that's GW's new standard for independently acting factions.

I'm preparing for a big rear end Apoc game in April, and doing the sums on a Marauder Destroyer which I've been meaning to buy for years, pretty good I thought. But why can it only take 8 Hellstrike Missiles? That's odd, a game can only go for- -oh. It fires 8 Hellstrike missiles every turn

I think the disparity is more of an issue with how their game plan for covering the gods and 40k changed over the course of the process. When Khorne got his stuff they wanted to do a Daemonkin book for every god, but seemed to be surprised when people basically told them "we want traitor legions" in response to the book, so they switched gears to Traitor Legions instead of Daemonkin by the time the got to Thousand Sons but they themselves came during the twilight months of 7th, a near universally hated edition and their update came in a Warzone Supplement rather than a full Codex release since they weren't releasing anymore codexes for 7th. Nurgle on the other managed to line up perfectly with the launch of a new edition of the game up to and including being in the starter box (much like what happened with Khorne and AoS). If you look over the god-specific releases in AoS where there wasn't such tumultuous changes happening surrounding their release you can see that they're mostly equal. The only one that might have received more love is Khorne simply because (much like Nurgle in 40k) he is the starter box faction. AnEdgelord fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Jan 8, 2018 |

Tzaangors are also cross compatible. The 40k tzaangors kit is just the AoS kit with an extra sprue for bolters so if you use the melee kit you can use it in both (i equip my tzaangors how i do in AoS and tell people theyre all tzaangor blades, no one complains). The codex is going to support some age of sigmar models in 40k as well like the other tzaangor (enlightened and sorcerers). I also use kairic cultists as cultists in 40k but thats just aesthetic.

Nurgle on the other managed to line up perfectly with the launch of a new edition of the game up to and including being in the starter box (much like what happened with Khorne and AoS). This is a good and insightful post. I’d like to add that the Khorne Daemonkin book was a very good book and the blood tithe table was good fun. It still suffered from being a close combat army in 7th, and issues around getting enough anti-tank in the list, but it did have some clever ideas. You can sort of do Daemonkin style builds this edition, especially when the new Daemons dex drops, but it’ll mostly be about buffing your Warp Talons, Obliterators and Possessed - your regular dudes won’t get much benefit from Daemon spells and unless the Khorne dudes have AoE buffs, without Psyker spells your Khorne stuff is poo poo out of luck. Additionally, at the end of the day it’s mostly +1 to this or that. I’m waiting for the Codex before passing full judgment, but I think a lot of flavour has been lost in terms of special rules in the transition to 7th. If you look at AoS with the Disciples of Tzeentch Destiny Dice and other unit interplay, or the circle of decay in Maggotkin, or Blades of Khorne with blood tithe, I find them more interesting. Hopefully Thousand Sons will get some flavourful stuff, not just “+1 to save if you’re close to X”

Is there a thread recommended bits shop for UK/Eire? I've looked at a few of them online and the websites are super dodge. I'm pretty sure one company is running a few of them judging by the stock being the same across different websites. It feels like buying items for diablo 2. I'm buying some second hand tyranid warriors and need to buy some boneswords/deathspitters because judging from the pictures it looks like the guy that owned them put katanas on them.

GW have just put out their events calendar for 2018. There's no final listed for the UK Grand Tournament (we've had heats 1 and 2, I'm going to 3 in February) but there is a very conspicuous TBA on the weekend of 19th/20th May. Which is the same date as London GT. fuuuuuuu e: inb4 someone says "you're not getting top 40 anyway so why worry"

I'm guessing between high sales volume, folks taking time off for Christmas, and the weather in the Northeast, the Warstore has taken a bit to get stuff out. I ordered some stuff on eBay before the new year and it's not here yet. I'd give em a ring anyway.

  Had a spare ancient body left over from making the chaplain and I never liked the bolter Lt in dark imperium with his dumb jarhead so I made this fella. Though now its blown up like this im seeing a bunch of highlights i need to tidy. This and the anniversary sergeant are the only time I've used a coloured spray and I wasn't too happy with the results, anything I can do about the paint around the rim getting worn down?

Touch it up wit h black, then gloss varnish (under the rim as well), then matte. Once it's free of the paint handle it should last okay, and if you notice glossiness starting to appear down the road you can re-apply the matte.

Just for the sake of clarity, it isn't happening strictly because you used the colour spray You get the same thing with proper white spray undercoats as well. There's a lack of 'tooth' to the finish, sufficient coats of pain/varnish should overcome it comfortably by the time the model is completed.

Photos from the Apoc game I played in yesterday: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tjkopena/sets/72157689153411372 (I'm the guy in the grey hoodie) The Armagedon 59th performed very well, taking out the 6000 or so points of enemy guard and Tau that opposed me. Seeing as how I only had 4000 pts, I'd say that's pretty good!
