Went in to the store to pick up Eisenhorn today and got a bonus Fulgrim pin to go with it! Not sure if they're giving out a variety but I definitely got the most fabulous.

Foul Ole Ron posted:Have game against Jet bike supreme soup next week, with a side of guard and manticore spam. Just show up with zero models and a six pack of beer. As much as GW getting lists right is a good answer, social pressure not to be a dick is more effective. People who can't get others to play with them generally GTFO or quit being assholes about their list building.

Just match them 1 for 1 but with maulerfiends and winged demon princes. Alternatively would an army made almost entirely out of contemptor dreadnoughts do anything to them?

Me and this guy usually play ultra fluffy. This is just us having some fun and going 'full retard' comp wise. Six pack advice is good advice though, will bring one anyway.

How do the Guard players in here feel about standard Taurox in the place of Chimeras for a semi-mechanized list? They've got a lot of advantages including price at the cost of a single point of toughness but I'm wondering if they're enough of an improvement to be worth using since I don't see many of them in lists online.

Tauroxes, meh. Taurox primes on the other hand are amazing. I've had Taurox primes give me a bad day many times.

The value of Taurox Primes is as light gunboats, the transport capacity is incidental. Basic Tauroxes lose the firepower so they're more of a pure transport. Imo Guard has nothing especially worth transporting except maybe command squads, and those are better served by planes, so unless you're committed to mech as a theme I wouldn't bother.

You don't see any value in using them to cart around an infantry squad or two for grabbing objectives?

Huh, that's a good point. 12+2d6 is going to be pretty similar to 14+d6 in practice. It's good to know why mechanized guard is suboptimal at least. I still might go for it because it sounds fun but that's going to be a a ways out regardless- I'm only just now picking up the Start Collecting box.

Went to my local GW, got a huge bag of free swag. 4 buttons : young Eisenhorn, old Eisenhorn, Fulgrim for some odd reason and some Sigmar related one. Also got a free book of short stories and a black library book mark. Also grabbed Eisenhorn himself (but had to pay for him) Looks like they have bought my affection again.

Just hit my local GW and got the same thing. The guy running the store asked who I play, and after mentioning Emperor's Children, his face lit up and he said "We should be seeing some really cool Slaanesh stuff by the end of the year, so you have that to look forward to." I know I know, rumors/uncle that works at Nintendo/etc, but there it is. I'm hopeful, but we'll see.

The new snake-body AoS models have me very hopeful that was a test for Fulgrim. This is new GW so a major EC release wouldn’t surprise me.

This actually might be actually true. I was talking about a chaos release recently, thinking it would be black legion. This makes more sense though.

Given that Slaanesh has been mentioned more in the past month in AoS than in AoS's entire preceding existence Its pretty much a given that we will see a Slaanesh release later this year. Its the most obvious build up I've ever seen.

I expect to see a lot of Eisenhorn as a HQ for various Imperial detachments. Seems like a decent unit.

True, but they may occasionally be privvy to rumors from other staff who are in the know, depending on who they know. During my short stint at GW, one of the blackshirts from across the pond was in town to train us and he let me know about the (then-still-upcoming) plastic Chaos terminators that were scheduled for release the following summer.

After posting that, I tossed on pants and flip flops to drive 30 min to the new GW store. Managed to grab the last one. I know it’ll eventually be released, however I’ve been waiting for this model since I first saw Brian Nelson’s sculpt for =I=
