Goodness: cut it out carefully, dunk it in water for fifteen seconds, put it on a damp paper towel, dribble some water on it, brush Micro Set onto the (varnished) surface, use tweezers and a clean brush to push the transfer on, push it into place with a brush, put a bit more Micro Set on, gently press it with a small piece of damp paper towel to push out the bubbles, let it sit five minutes, cover the edges with Micro Sol, wait half an hour, repeat as needed if the edges are really rough, seal with Dullcote spray after it’s had at least a few hours to cure.

Strobe posted:At seven points each, I think Fire Warriors might be the most efficient thing in the Tau codex. Going to take this thing to game night tonight: Trip report: tabled my brother's Terminator-heavy Dark Angels list at the top of turn 2. It was disgusting. I shot nearly 700 points off the board turn 1, killed a total of five Terminators in Overwatch whereupon only two between three different charges made it into combat. Turn 2 I killed an entire other squad of Terminators with the Riptide's HBC, and by then my infantry were in rapid fire range. Turns out, 150 pulse rifle shots will kill most infantry units. Azrael and Belial lived until last, upon which the full might of three Pathfinder teams, two Broadsides, and a Ghostkeel crashed down upon them like the fist of an angry god. I have a good feeling about taking it to a tournament, but it's not coming to a friendly game anytime soon.

Dude in my local scene ran Dark Angels and effortlessly tabled a friend of his--Tau are back if they can manage that against the Super Secret Marines. Said friend remarked that the game was so one-sided he's locked away his DAs for this edition.

There are some caveats: he was running like 15 Terminators, and my list is packed with multi-damage weapons. He brought two of the DA speeders (a Dark Shroud and a Vengeance) and I blew the gently caress out of both of them in the first couple units shooting. After that he had nothing higher than T4, and it was only a matter of time with my number of shots before everything fell apart. I think it'll run into some more difficulty against armor-heavy lists, but goddamn it blendered heavy infantry.

They're pretty good at mulching lists with a handful of high-value targets that cant afford to burn EWO's with suicide units.

Hello Everyone! So, I have made a terrible mistake decided to come back to the Grimdark, and went on an Admech binge. I have many evenings of gluing my fingers together and cramping hands ahead, and as far as the Meta goes, I need to come up with a list. - 2 Start collecting Boxes - 2 additional Skitarii squads - 1 additional Onager Dunecrawler And I have also preordered the forgebane box. Been eyeing a knight, and Cawl as well. The problem is this: I have not played since 5th edition, and I have missed a hell of a lot. Can someone give me a cliffs notes of what changed and a decent list while I pour over the 700 pages of this thread?

MrDesaude posted:Hello Everyone! Weapon types changed significantly: Heavy weapons are now -1 to hit if you moved, Rapid Fire weapons get double shots at half range and closer, Assault weapons can shoot even after advancing (replaced running; now happens in the movement phase not the shooting phase), Pistols can be fired while engaged in melee. Armor facings are gone, vehicles now have Toughness and Wounds and take damage like everything else. High wound (10+) models now degrade and lose effectiveness with increasing damage taken. Many weapons do multiple damage now. If this damage is random (d3, d6), it's determined after armor/invulnerable saves. AP changed significantly, and is now a modifier to the unit's armor save. For example, a Lascannon has AP-3, which reduces an armor save by 3. A Lascannon that hits a Space Marine reduces its save to 6+ instead of 3+. Most basic troop weapons got AP-0 instead of AP5 like previous editions. This means 5+ and 6+ armor saves are no longer completely loving useless against the vast majority of weapons. All units have a Movement stat now, there's no generic standard movement speed for a given type of unit. You can Fall Back out of melee combat if you have room to get away from your attackers, but if you do you can't shoot (unless you have Fly or a special rule) or charge (unless you have a special rule) Instant Death is gone, FNP style rolls are now per wound lost and not per save failed.

Ok, so this is far simpler than the previous rules. Unfortunately it is probably going to break my brain when I try to play again. Good thing I have a while to watch other games while I am assembling my army.

Oh, and the really big one: You're not locked into charging what you shot at, and you can shoot any and all of your weapons and still charge (if you didn't Advance/Fall Back). Models can fire all of their Heavy/Assault/Rapid Fire weapons or all of their Pistols or one Grenade (and a limit of one grenade per unit).

Could someone help me identify the source of the missile here? The post I got it from is from like 2007 so I probably can't go back and ask.  The weird thing is that the rocket itself looks sort of 40kish with the panels and RIVETS? It could be scratchbuild I guess?  E: Im the Word 97 book.

Most of that rocket is lego with some rivets and extras added on. It certainly does the job. To spot it, first look at the topmost part of the rocket - that is a smaller lego finned section and it is slotted onto the main tube. Then, if you look at the mounting system, it has technic style slots on the side of each part of the support bars.

So with Tauroxes Prime the right way to go is Gatling/Volley at low points (where there's less armor) and Cannon/Volley at higher points (where there's harder stuff), right? Start them empty and then go drive up to the deep-struck Scions to pick up whatever survives and use them to contest/take objectives?

The two good Taurox builds have fundamentally different roles. Gatling/volley is for clearing out hordes of infantry. Alternatively take missile launcher/autocannon for targeting light vehicles. Neither replaces the other. Driving them around wastes their BS3+ a little, but they're very fast so they do have a place as objective-grabbers with or without Scions riding in them. I used two a while ago to clear out my opponent's infantry, then they spent the rest of the game playing bumper cars with a Punisher Russ to stop it firing.

Is the Rocket Launcher (please don't use the m-word  ) really worth 50 points (and 22 over the Battle Cannon), I mean, I don't doubt your experience but the general line I hear about the rocket launcher is that you're paying for versatility which is only occasionally worth it?

Someone else might weigh in on this since there's every chance I'm misremembering.

I've been mulling over a general semi-casual small list using the new Tau Codex, can I get some criticism on this?code:Stealth Suits and Ghostkeel are mainly for holding objectives and being hard to kill. I've got Pathfinder Ion Rifles and the Ghostkeel's CIR for multi-wound infantry, and the Ion Riptide and Fusion Coldstar for anything heavier. Light infantry is a breeze for Tau anyway. Stuff I'm not sure about Is Sa'cea + Strike Team markers actually worth it? What Sept should the Vanguard be? I can't see any that really benefit Riptides or Stealth Suits that much. Are the few D3 damage guns I have reliable enough to put down heavy infantry? EDIT: Holy  post.

LifeLynx posted:I never thought about Necrons as a melee army, but that looks great. My dream is still to have an undying horde of Warriors though. Infantry is fine, though the Warrior kit is hella old at this point and shows its age. Vehicle wise, there’s a couple that are generally simple to put together (Barge, Scythe). The Monolith kit is kinda bad/bland and needs a redo, as it’s as old as Warriors are. Then... then there’s the Arks. I built two... never again.
