Considering getting Big Bobby G for my Ultramarines Successors and I just have a couple quick questions to make sure. 1) Since he only has the ULTRAMARINES faction keyword and not HOWLING GRIFFONS or DONG RAZZLERS or whatever the Successor Chapter’s name is, does he have to be in his own personal detachment without any of YOUR GUYS in it? 2) Similarly, do his abilities that buff ULTRAMARINES fail to affect Successor Chapters?

That’s kind of what I figured but what with GW recently saying that Successors players that they can’t take the Founding Chapter’s Warlord Trait I figured it was worth checking.

Las Vegas, Nevada. Late January 2018: Las Vegas Open 40k finals plagued with bad behaviour, slow play and accusations of cheating. 30k tournament to be merged with narrative event because everyone is too chill. Early February, the 40k thread: SteelMentor posted:HH players tend to be on average more toxic that 40k

Fairly sure that's because HH is a dead game.

moths posted:There's an old, metal WE figure that's pretty great. Alternatively, you could use the Khorne bloodboi AoS icon bearer (from the starter box set) as a basis for conversion, he's a rad model. Thankd for the ideas! I had forgotten about some of those. I’m mostly interested in the Legion CMD because their banners are more of a blank slate so I could more easily put WE stuff on them, trying to emphasize that more than Khorne stuff.

Honestly I would love to get into 30K but I just spent ten loving hours painting a single Primaris officer and I am not convinced that I will finish anything before 9th comes out. Plus Bloodbowl.

gently caress. You've just reminded me that I need to finish painting my Orc team + Troll. And my Necromunda gangers. And the Orlocks when they come out. On top of painting 1,500 points of Death Guard.

I'm still torn on doing Deathwing terminators and knights in bone or black. I'll be keeping cataphractii and tartaros in black since they're really for my 30k army, but I like the bone-colored armor and would like to have it somewhere.The reality is that I'm focusing on the 30k side of things, but I like having the option. Those poor Deathwing models probably won't ever see paint. TTerrible posted:30k is pretty punishing with unit sizes. It's a hell of a hobby commitment.

I got her a Rhino from the save-me case. It was $20, talked the guy down to $10 when I told him what it was for. It has a multi-melta I think the weapon is? Not very detailed, and I got her some Vallejo colors I want to try myself anyway. Too bad there's no used $2 Primaris Marines, I don't think she has the dexterity for regular Space Marines just yet.

Ideally in time for NOVA. Ork, Human, and Goliath and Escher Gangs Something on the order of 2 Biker Warbosses, 1 Biker KFF Mek, 1 Battlewagon, and 41 Boyz to get to 1500 points

If she's into cute stuff as well as shootmen, Reaper's mouseling adventurers are both adorable and simple to paint. And if you're the Worlds Nerdiest Dad you can then use them to play D&D with her

My Blight-Hauler’s first adventure in the grimdark world worked incredibly. I had underestimated how beneficial a mobile cover save was and it managed two back-to-back Multimelta overwatch shots killing a Dreadnought and Space Marine Captain. My escalation league list is still hurting for anti-tank/monster but it’s done pretty solid over all. My 1250pt list has two Foul Blightspawn.

One of my first games of 8th, I had a Trygon charge one of my reduced Scion squads - all that was left were 2 meltaguns. I rolled 2 6s for the overwatch, and with the melta rule scored the full 12 wounds, killing it outright.

Its kind of shocking to me how popular the Death Guard release was, they seem to have totally overshadowed the Primaris Marines in their own box set.

Well, chaos get units pretty sporadically by comparison, and as nice as Primaris marines look they're still basically proportionally balanced marines.

Played a 1500 point game against Custodes today, and it turns out they're pretty loving tough. With the -1 to hit Vexillia in particular it took a ludicrous amount of shooting to do anything to them. I did eventually manage to kill an Allarus Custodian with exactly 13 shots from a Strike team, but I couldn't generate wounds to save my life until the 4th or 5th turn.

Updated the army, significantly more special weapons than before, although with the new issue of a unit of troop sisters without vehicle for the moment; needed to make point room for the elysian vets, so I scrapped the patrol detach and put the repents in the batallion, where they hog up a rhino. https://pastebin.com/swv5parg Since Battlescribe doesnt allow you to allocate units to certain vehicles, the setup in concept is: 1 Valkyrie (9 veterans, 1 commander, 2 tarantualas) 12/12 1 Rhino (Celestine, 2 Geminae, Mistress, 3 repentias, 2 crusaders) 9/10 1 Repressor (Storm Bolter wagon; canoness, 9 sisters) 10/10 4 Sisters on foot 8 Damned that can deep strike 1 Vindicare that can deep strike 1 Canoness on foot (is there a cheap and ideally suicidal deep strike HQ? She HQ's the engines, which are vehicles so I assume they cant embark) 3 Penitent Engines on foot Also: Space Butler posted:Don't forget repentia are t3 with a 6+, again I've not fielded mine but I have my doubts about them even getting into combat without overwatch just mulching them. I read somewhere that vehicles can charge, eating overwatch fire so the units inside can safely get in the thick of it. Did I misread that?
