Is that a 2nd Ed ‘Beret’ stormtrooper, or the plasma gunner from the briefly-available gas mask troopers that came later?

Also interesting to see how many details on them were re-used from kits at the time.

Warhammer World is very cool. 2-0 so far at GT. Played a soft but really awesome Orkdeptus Mechanicus list in the 1st round and a hard Tyranids in the second. Suspect I'm flying too high now.

Are there any rules in 8th Ed for renegades and traitors yet? I have about 1000 pts of guard I collected mosty in 3rd edition. I like that I can add the 500 points of primaris space marines I have to it, or be able to do cult nids with the same models. It would be cool to be able to use them with a detachment of Chaos Space marines as well.

I got quite luck with the Roving Patrol scenario, being able to choose to go 2nd and have his stuff drop in first. Finished the day at 2-1, losing to Mortarion + cultist bomb. A very good player who did everything right and got to go first, whereas I made some dumb deployment mistakes. I called it at the end of my 1 when it was clear he was going to tie my whole army up. 2 more tomorrow - if I can pick up a 3rd win that'll do me I think.

Skails posted:Those look awesome. Are there any rules in 8th Ed for renegades and traitors yet? There *are* rules in the Forgeworld index, however it's super shallow and mainly covers the models from the forgeworld line of renegades. I don't play competitive, so I plan to just use AM rules and flavor it to chaos. I won't utilize any cross-detachment bonuses (like Abaddon), so there shouldn't really be any issues from that end. Mostly it's more a flavor thing to flesh out my collection and have something to complement my Thousand Sons and Tzeentch Daemons. I also did Warp Talons with an Aspiring Sorcerer "champion" and Warp Talon mans with Tzaangor heads because I wanted a fast attack unit back when the index dropped. I pay 1 additional point for the unit for the aspiring sorcerer champ and get my lovely smite, but get to bring the unit in games where I need a little more flexibility than the index provided. Beer&Pretzels Warhams is the best warhams. quote:I have about 1000 pts of guard I collected mosty in 3rd edition.

It would be cool to be able to use them with a detachment of Chaos Space marines as well. You should totally be able to do that. It's cool and fluffy and good. Worst case, use a Chaos Cultist as the sergeant for the unit. There's a 5 model box for  you can get and it'd sell it if someone pitched a fit.

Trying out a new list, wondering what you guys think. I call it the Abbabomb. Black legion Battalion 1 : Jump Lord with power sword Jump sorceror with plasma gun and force staff. 3 units of 10 cultists Black legion Battalion 2 : Lord with power sword sorceror with force staffsword 8 berzerkers in rhino 3 units of 10 cultists Black legion Spearhead: Abbadonn Unit of oblits Las predator 8 man unit of Las havocs Patrol (daemons:khorne) Bloodmaster 30 Bloodletters I make the Bloodmaster the warlord and put him, Abbadon, bloodletters, jump Lord, oblits and jump sorceror in deep strike. The Blood master gets the crimson crown. All cultists hide or screen heavies. Essentially it's a alpha strike list using a gently caress load of bloodletters getting Abbadons rerolls. Use the drop sorceror to warptime Abbadon into combat and to prescience the oblits. While that cluster gently caress is happening, I roll my berzerkers up to cause more grief.

If they used superglue, you can make it brittle by putting it in the freezer. If they used plastic glue, I dunno. Somebody else might have a suggestion.

I think you're too heavy on characters, theres a bit of a balancing act in having enough characters to buff your troops but having enough troops in the first place. Your men will die and its the difference between having another squad and having a lord with no one to lead. Also not having abaddon be your warlord is just throwing away 2 command points.

If the joint between them is relatively small, you can try applying some tamiya extra thin cement. It's potent enough that it can reactivate that bond, especially if it was weak enough to begin with.

Are relics 1cp now? When did that happen? Thanks for the Info, this way I could just run Abbadon as Warlord and give the other Jump Lord the murdersword to gently caress over any special characters.

One option is to use two magnets of opposite polarity instead of just one, will prevent rotation. Well, the opposing polarities is just to enforce direction of the sponson.

Think anyone would mind if I grabbed some heavy duty shields, gave em to my old Mordeheim models like Sisters of Sigmar and used em as Crusaders? If not that then I was thinking of using the mother matron as an Inquisitor with a thunder or nemesis daemon hammer and the rest as acolytes with arc mauls. Would have to find some las-pistols and/or holsters for them though.

You'd probably ne fine. There's not a lot of giant shield-toting units in SoB or inquisitors so it should be pretty obvious that they're crusaders.
