Everyone should just chill out and scroll past any post that looks vaguely like an army list like I do if they don't want to talk about lists. I figure there's going to be just as many posts after Adepticon showing sweet armies and battle reports, and if that means I have to scroll past more posts that looks likequote:++PRIMARIS INTERCESSOR SQUAD 1++ Then so be it. Until then, here's some spacemen I painted:

I tend to scroll past mathhammer posts. My method of fielding a good Army is to post it here and if I get attacked for fielding 5 Shield-Captains on Jetbikes, I know I’m keeping up with the meta. Vroom vroom!

Hamshot posted:Maybe if people weren't mathing a cool model before even knowing its points cost. It gave the impression that the thread would decry the new baby knight completely as poo poo (for either being too cheap or too expensive) if it didn't hit the threads predetermined perfect points value. This tangent originally started because of a Warhammer Community post all about the Armiger rules. When GW posts 'here are the rules for the toy' people are going to talk about them, I don't see why that's surprising. Neurolimal posted:I will say that it would be nice if quotes were collapsible. It would also be nice if Battlescribe's format was actually readable, I rarely bother reading lists posted from it because they're really annoying to parse.

Isn't all hams chat, good chat? Where else can I vent the rampent and somewhat violent xenophobic tendancies that rack my hate filled soul, through the only accepted lense I can: Painting and doing tedious maths calculations for little plastic models of Genetically modified murder men. In space.

Bombogenesis posted:Oh my god you're all terrible. Please give me advice so I can be terrible too. I mean, it depends on a few things; Looking at it on paper, it comes down to I haven't used Hellions myself. I was going to include them in this Wych list i had written up but i wanted my menagerie of beasties. Again, on paper, they don't seem terrible? M14" with Fly, PfP and HaR. They just suffer from being Spaeis Aelfes. You could be cheeky and have a max squad in the webway, turn up in any of the three turns, shoot the poo poo out of something, charge it if needed and then, just by them being there, force the choice of shooting at them or the other things in your army. If it gets locked in combat, you can still fall back, shoot and charge again because of HaR. /theory They're all decent choices. It comes down to what you want to try and do with them and what you think is cool  Edit: I misunderstood how Mandrakes worked! When i read their rule, i thought they acted like Eldar Rangers but nope! Just deepstrike. In that case, Incubi seem a lot stronger in fewer numbers than Mandrakes. Definitely need a max squad of them to try and score those mortal wounds. adamantium|wang posted:The new Drew Carey codex is due out after Tau and Necrons, it might be best to hold off on retooling your lists or buying new minis until then.

You should buy more minis of the weird drewcarey units because they're cool minis, specificallyMedusae, Clawed Fiend, Sslyth, and ur-ghul. hold off on the guys with pointy ears though, I hear they're jerks

Hey shut the gently caress up about points and Custodians cause I've got another B-B-BATTLEREPORT!!! and this time, it comes with some  EXPERIMENTAL RULES FOR YOU TO TRY OUTI've wanted to incorporate some Zone Mortalis rules into my campaign for a while, so we could do some sweet ship boarding action stuff, but no one was set up for it. Then it occurred to me that with everyone in my group buying the new Necromunda, we suddenly had a glut of square tiles depicting the cruddy insides of an underhive that we could use for some sweet games of 40k. So I whipped up an updated copy of the Zone Mortalis rules, updated for 8th edition. I still have a bit of work to do updating all the missions, but I've got two done and a test game with them, so they're ready for limited public consumption. So here you go! THECHIRURGEON'S PROTOTYPE 8TH EDITION ZONE MORTALIS RULES, VERSION 0.2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jdWaD08FxZH0pAIo2G4VJRtF7EjPaSgE/view?usp=sharing Test them out and let me know what works, what doesn't. I haven't set up any missions with the Catastrophic Damage table yet, so feel free to add that in your game and let me know how it goes. Anyways, on to the TEST GAME. Tired of stompin' around on the ground, Warlord Spleenrippa' decided to take the battle to space, and took some of his finest nobz on an assault mission to capture Molloch's Despoiler-class vessel. With a success, the Orks would get a massive haul of prometheum and disrupt Black Legion teleporting efforts. Fail, and risk capture. We played the game on a 4x4 table, the Assault mission, using a mix of tiles from the base game and the Delta-7 tiles. We largely ignored tile effects unless there was a hole or collapsed wall section. The doors were randomly either accessible (1-3), or locked (4-6) on first encounter. I was defending. The battlefield at setup, with the Defensive Stronghold I placed in the large area with the Haemotrope reactor, which served as the shield generator.  Deployment. Ork player held about half his army in reserves, to send through the pipes/vents to the three blue markers.  ...which he does on Turn 1, popping out with a dread and a squad of combi-scorcha meganobz that proceeded to cook the poo poo out of my mans and destroyed the shield generator.  My terminators bust in and shoot the Meganobz to poo poo as the Ork player fails a bunch of rolls like a big dumb rear end in a top hat  This dreadnought attempts to start some poo poo after my havocs fall back from it, only to get overwatched to death by my superior Black Legion firepower  Late game I take the coward's way out, backing up into my stronghold and waiting to shoot any ork in the face that enters, but the game ends unexpectedly at the bottom of T5 and ends in a draw. The orks are repelled! ...but only just barely.  Thoughts: - The Necromunda tiles worked great. Game was a lot of fun. Random door states were... meh. Removed those from the rules. - The one downside is that it's hard to visualize the table/LOS with a 2-dimensional board. Map out your paths pre-game - Interested to hear what people think of these, planning to write up the other missions this week. - Flamers are really really good in Zone Mortalis - Hitting on a 5+ in overwatch is also really good, and I think people underestimate it.

My takeaway on the babby knights is that a) The models are cool, and will be cool in perpetuity given that they’re a new plastic kit. b) No matter how good or bad their rules look right now, it is basically a toss-up whether they’ll be OP deathmonsters or complete jokes six months from now... and whichever one of those they are six months from now, it’s another toss- up which they’ll be a year from now. Ans another toss-up what they’ll be a year and a half from now, and another toss-up what they’ll be two years from now, etc.

I think the FLGS also has some Reavers still on sprue that could be fun to mix in.

Played my first game tonight with a “true” WS list against my son’s EC. 1500 points feeling things out for Nova. First, Open War is stupid fun. Had some kind of pincer deployment with ACID RAIN that you’d roll for every turn. Oh and he got to draw a ruse card which he used to swing the game on turn 4. Second, don’t underestimate a Maulerfiend. It killed a squad of 5 bikers, Korsarro, and my Repulsor- shown giving it a kiss below along with my favorite objective marker.

I legitimately like the stand a lot for everything aside from transportation, and even then if I had a better case I don't think it would be an issue. You can do some fairly neat poses with them.

Going to try to get some used Neophyte Hybrids and some extra spore mines because I'm going to need a lot of them. In other news, I still can't beat my friend's Chaos list. That giant Cultist blob with all those spells on it is going to give me nightmares. 70+ shots that hit on 3s, reroll 1s to hit, and have +1 to wound. Ugh.

A terminator chaplain along with a squad of TH/SS Terminators in a transport could be fun. I’m going to run one with a jump pack alongside my Death Company since I generally prefer unnamed characters even though Lemartes is like 10x better. I really do want an excuse to get that terminator chaplain model. One of my favorite models in the marine range even if it doesn’t fit in well with the lists I run.

Well I've subscribed to the Conquest part work so I'll be building a new force of Primaris slowly over a year and a half. Deathguard I'll do in the standard scheme, not my bone scheme, and have them as a different Vectorum. The question is what chapter to do them as? I'm torn between Minotaurs and Lamenters. I've been trying to find the chapter badges for Lamenters on Shapeways, but I'm also tempted by Salamanders. Is there still an online source for Lamenters symbols you can glue on shoulder pads?

There will be some vague synergism with everything else I want to use in terms of "go forwards, shoot, assault" and that's good enough for me. Will they get shot off the table in no time flat by a shadowsword or something? Probably, but I don't care. Battlemechs good. Question at the moment is will they compete with Redemptors because they seem somewhat comparable apart from the speed.

I think they won't compete with the Redemptors anti-horde build. If you go Redemptors as anti horde with a little anti air then they'll complement each other nicely. Armingers kill tanks, Redemptors kill hordes.
