My local GW is re-opening tomorrow as Warhammer: Shithole and the special event only models are going to be available. I thought i'd be able to wander in and buy the limited Chaplain, but noooooo, the system is far more convoluted than that. You get a card and have to get 10 stamps on it to be able to purchase the Chaplain in March. You get a stamp for:

every £10 spent
participating in a battle arena
winning a battle arena
introducing a friend to the hobby who purchases a starter product

What an enormous pain in the arse as I won't have time to play in a battle arena (whatever the gently caress they are), so I have to spend £100 to get the honour of being allowed to buy the Chaplain. I'm thinking i might be able to place an online order for £100 in the shop, get my card stamped, then bugger off home and cancel the order.

Love the way the table turned out! Any plans to paint the floors of the buildings as white marble?

Negative, they wouldn't match the game mat.(and its to much work)

One of my teammates for Adepticon is 3-D printing a building with a dais for the display board. Not really sure how I am going to paint it, but I'll likely follow Duncan's "how to" on buildings from Maccrage. It uses Zandri Dust, which is different than my bases, but I feel a different color is needed to make it pop out from the white.

Got a return game this week against a Catachan list. Last time we played neither of us had our codexes. What do I need to be careful of when playing them.

List worked well and I ground out a 16-11 win. Catachan have some nasty tricks.
The Defiler sort of worked exactly as intended. Stuck it in the middle, advanced and popped smoke. My opponent shot pretty much his entire list into it to kill it letting all my other stuff get into position to do what it needed to do. Only real mistakes were on deployment, sticking my Blood Slaughterer on a flank. Despite its speed it didn't really get to do anything all game and I think if I had put it centrally with the Defiler it would have caused havoc.

Other takeaway is dont charge a Manticore with a Demon Prince. Overwatch from one of those stupidly large cartoon rockets really loving hurts.

Great game and I loved seeing the guys old school Catachans.

Two articles have popped up that preview some of what's coming in the TSons codex:

Part 1: Rubric Marines
Reveals two new Psychic powers, a Stratagem, and a Relic.

[url=https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/02/01/eddie-agent-change-part-2-tzaangorgw-homepage-post-4/]Part 2: Tzaangors[url]
Reveals how the AoS stuff is going to be converted to 40k, a few things about Vortex beasts, and another Stratagem.

Some really tasty stuff there, they’re definitely pointing out how to get the turn one charges in these days. I need to dig through my Codexes to see if there’s other sources to Hit from Tzeentch soup, since that could make Tzaangor Enlightened very nasty indeed. Hopefully they’ve made Scarab Occultists better. Though even having the sorcerer able to cast stuff other than hobo Smite is an upgrade.

Tzeentch soup looks a lot of fun this edition. Really speaks to me. Daemons and daemon engines and beast men and unstoppable automaton men, oh my.

Not going to lie - I’m glad the AoS models clearly didn’t sell enough!

Eh, I came back after not playing since 2003 and everyone there was really helpful. The games don't take that long, and I'm sure there will just be people milling around that would be happy to help you out, that's how it went for me.

They claimed the rules were tabletop quality minis, (3 colors and a shade) but there were some half-painted armies and nobody gave a poo poo. They shouldn't, considering how much you gotta outlay for the drat things anyway.
