It may be (pedantically?) worth pointing out that the Codex you're referring to was a holdover from 3rd Edition. The 4th Edition Chaos book was, infamously, the one marking the shift of GW's rules writing from "wild and complicated" to "streamlined and kinda boring."

You are right that they do look great, and if they're still in biz I'l happily add them in. E: by the way, Heresy Lab's stretch goals unlocked three girl versions of the officio assassinorum; they're concept art only ATM but said art looks pretty cool and they're not too rare in a 2k sisters army.

So the LGS here is hosting a casual tournament at the end of the month I might try for. I'm a little worried about a "casual tournament" using the ITC packet though.

What exactly does the SM chapter master stratagem do? Does the character in question give all <chapter> units "reroll misses", or what changes? I can't seem to find any info anywhere.

I am thinking of going digital for my next codex purchase. Are the epub versions updated with FAQ's and what not? Or is that just the Enhanced versions? The epubs appeal to me for the ability to print stuff out if I need too. The one person I know that owns an enhanced codex says he can't print stuff out well due to the way everything is hot linked in the book.

It exchanges a captains rites of battle ability "you can reroll hit rolls of 1 made for friendly <chapter> units within 6" of this model" for the chapter master ability "you can reroll any failed hits rolls for friendly <chapter> units within 6" of this model" and changes their keyword from captain to chapter master.

Depends on the tournament rules. Some will let you choose game to game, some will require you to use that strat, pick warlord trait/relics etc. and use the same all tournament.

Eldar are real hard to sell, my dudes. I'm about at the point of just hocking them off to a trader for store credit. As for real First World Problems, I am having a ton of fun building a Baneblade for my GSC, yet cannot wait to get started on converting some Canoptek Acanthrites from boxes of Wraiths for my Necrons that I haven't used since 7th. How do goons with multiple armies deal with all the excitement of building/painting/playing more than one force? e: I really have not built any motivation to paint a billion gaunts/gants, even speedpainting by applying a light wash and drybrushing white. I guess this means I have some for sale. Proletariat Beowulf fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Mar 15, 2018 |

Prioritize one at a time and have sub-goals, such as "one HQ, two troops." Use bigger or flashier models as a reward for finishing a full squad of troops or something more boring. Plan what you want to field and paint that, and don't play with things that aren't full assembled and painted, so you have a reason to paint them. I've 'finished' 6 armies of 2k+ points and I can tell you that it is, in fact, possible.

Kilazar posted:I am thinking of going digital for my next codex purchase. In addition to the other problems mentioned with your plan, viewing and printing the epub3 files they have been making codexes in since just before 8th released is actually difficult. There is very few software that will render it correctly, and as far as I can tell, no software that will print it correctly. I spent hours and hours trying to print to PDF and gave up. Viewing the epub3 on a PC sucks. Readium is the only software that seems to even render right. I think when the :files: pirates make it a pdf they use the Adobe software that can make epub3 in the first place. I was just trying to read my drat legit book I bought.

I totally get where you're coming from FYI. I personally don't care too much about the lack of a chapter master strategem -although I certainly understand why people do - but the relic situation is borderline criminal. If you weren't forced to effectively give up taking a useful relic entirely I'd actually probably buy and take Gabriel Seth from time to time to buff my tanks. Then there's the deal with the (lack of) special characters for the successors. It makes sense that they wouldn't get access to Dante or Mephiston but there's no reason they shouldn't be able to take characters like The Sanguinor or Astorath who are noted as showing up for other chapters at least. When it comes down to it we're really all forced to just run as Blood Angels whether we want to or not. I'm one of the fortunate who were already doing so, albeit with a slightly non-standard paint scheme. There's a bunch of people over on the BA subforum who have lovingly painted successors who were not at all thrilled about the situation though. Artum posted:My local archfoe runs guardians of the covenant but runs them as dark angels with azrael because they aren't legion building shut up don't be silly. This can potentially make a bit of sense for the Blood Angels now as well post Devastation of Baal. Dante's in charge of everything on that side of the Great Rift these days and it would make sense that he'd be making heavy use of his successor chapters. I'm working toward a mixed "crusade" army with Blood Angels along with a bunch of other Imperium stuff to represent Dante's push toward retaking the Dark Imperium.

I'm in a similar boat, I had already decided on a bright blue/turquoise color scheme for my Primaris guys before I decided to make a BA successor chapter, which in and of itself isn't the end of the world, but the thing that finally hooked me in to the BA was after a Primaris only test game, my buddy whipped out an old metal Astorath he had sitting around since I was enjoying their new chapter tactic and gave it to me. I included him in the list for our next game and he was beastly, carving through a unit of DG terminators with some backup from a squad of Reivers and then flying across the entire table to absolutely house a unit of plague marines and capture an objective, and from then on I was in. In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge deal to say these are all being run as Blood Angels, but it does bother me that I can't just have actual BA and a successor chapter working together flawlessly with full access to relics, etc.
