Man this makes Sammael more and more interesting. I might try to butcher together a an Aggressor and Interceptor and weld on some assault cannons.

Milotic posted:Yeah my friend was playing Imperial fist tactics as his chapter is a successor of that. I was like “Are you sure you don’t want to go Ultramarine tactics for this game?” but he wants to run as fist tactics. The ignores cover is quite good. But it’s not quite in the same ballpark as can fall back and shoot as normal.

How well do Valkyries or tanks travel? In a few months I’ll be flying and want to bring an army/list I’m going to paint up and take with me. I’d like to own pieces that are competitive and stand the least chance of falling apart enroute (I’ll be primary scions with imperial guard vehicles for backup). Also: generally speaking, is it better to fly with armies or ship them over to places if they box is marked as fragile? For the sake of argument let’s assume I’ve figured out how to pack them correctly!

I've been ruminating over how best to acquire some Biovores without having to cut off and clean up metal mold lines, or to deal with FC at all--and a brilliant idea struck me. gently caress running the monster, gently caress metal, and gently caress FC. I'm going to build some GSC firing Spore Mines out of a Guard Heavy Weapons Team mortar platform; they'll be standing next to an Infestation Node that's mid-pumping-out a new Spore as another is fired or is about to fire out of the mortar barrel.  And then it occurred to me that BuffaloChicken might have already designed something exactly like that for his Guard-GSC-counts-as-Tyranid army.

Uroboros posted:Can Sam buff inceptors? If not seems pointless? He provides a few benefits: - He's a Captain so DA units within 6" get to reroll 1's. - He comes with the "Master of Maneuvre" trait which allows DA units within 6" to reroll their advance or charge rolls. - Since he's Ravenwing he can spend 1CP to be allowed to advance, shoot and still charge. If I wanted to spend 183 points instead of 216 I could take the version where he's riding a jetbike. He's 2" slower and loses a wound, and his weapon is a heavy plasma cannon (that I would never fire supercharged) and a twin storm bolter instead of twin heavy bolters and twin assault cannons, but he advances 2d6".

I’d like to own pieces that are competitive and stand the least chance of falling apart enroute (I’ll be primary scions with imperial guard vehicles for backup). If you build up the main hull and turrets etc. solidly they'll usually be fine. Stick em foam boxes / trays a little larger than the tank and they'll most likely be fine. The main problems are fragile bits like antennae and the like which will need indents etc. for them. Valkyries are similarly solid but you'll want to keep them separate from the base for transport otherwise they're a colossal pain and take up loads of space.

I can recommend the custom cut KR Valkyrie trays. They make great use of the space to maximise what you can carry with the Valk.

I was thinking of doing a normal jump pack chaplain modelled as a primaris with a bunch of reivers, but this is much more insane  Would people be OK with modelling a land speeder type vehicle as slightly larger inceptor?

I have a couple of those that won't get any use now  Or maybe wait for the SW codex, something more optimal might turn up. Dr Hemulen fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Feb 10, 2018 |

I'm hoping the reason that some of these codexes have been held back is that they're gonna be tied to model releases. Russ would be a good candidate for the next Primarch, Orks could use some model kit updates, Genestealer Cults, Harlequins, and Deathwatch could all use some new units to fill out their rosters and the Ynarri could be made into a real faction instead of being the official Eldar soup faction.

I'm really impressed/happy that between DI, Easy Build, the base PM box, the PM Champion blister and the stupid fancy 3 man box I've been able to put together 21 unique (3x7) Plague Marines. That's just so loving cool. Had to do a little bit of slicing to get Plasma Guns for each of the leaders. They're just so cool. I had no interest in Death Guard until I took a closer look at the stuff that was in DI, GW's sculpting game is incredible at the moment.

I will probably get the squad box when I finish these, the models are so good I'm inadvertentlyimur building a death guard army.  Among the marines you've built so far do you have a favorite model?

Anyone that's been running Ynnari have any input on using troupes for a troop choice? Trying to help my partner with list planning and I honestly think they look really neat if you shove them into a raider or something and drop them in the enemies face but have no idea how they'll actually fare. Otherwise I have like 80 kabalite warriors that would probably suffice.

I'm pretty sure that only Dark Elves can get in Raiders (it says in the unit's rules which units can enter a transport, hence why Bigmarines can't enter Rhinos.)

Yeah, while 8thed has it a lot easier for a number of armies to dip into each other, vehicles are still rigidly faction-locked unless otherwise stated (like the Inquisitor's Authority of the Inquisition, which lets them embark in any transport, so long as it's allied [I think]). It makes it easier for them to balance rules that affect vehicles, since the Tallarn Chimera cant be full of 12 Reivers ready to ambush.
