Atlas Hugged posted:So what I'm hearing is that goons only recognize women from their breasts?  That's a fairly androgynous head, IMO, and could easily pass as a male Juve. The real reason it stands out as female is because the rest of the Van Saars have facial hair. I don't have a problem with boob armor in general, mainly because these are fantasy miniatures with no basis in reality, so the logical arguments of why you wouldn't wear armor like that really don't apply because the poo poo is imaginary and fantastical. With regards to NM (and 40K in general) I view it as purely a fashion/style choice because who the gently caress cares about the real world implications of a crushed sternum received in H2H when you have fusion and plasma weapons that will disintegrate you entirely?

I'm not unrealistic! I'm not unrealistic! I continue to insist as I charge a heavy machine-gun waving a sword and somehow avoid getting shot to pieces.

These new Necro releases are cool and good. Making me wish I wasn't so hyped to make a chaos cult, because they're going to have a lot less weapon options than the main gangs just based on sprues.

You can always use the (Sebastrian) Gorka orka as a juvie who hasn't run his steroid course yet (and is somewhat uglier than others).

Those old orks are so hilariously small compared to most of the modern models, it's really glaring whenever they actually get close to each other. I was going to use one as a driver for a custom trukk, but it looked like a dinky baby ork and I ended up converting a new driver.

I think the worst one was the old ork biker with twin cannons (this one). I have one of these kicking around mostly on the sprue from a bunch of stuff someone gave me, and the rider is just tiny, he's like a grot that didn't get the huge-head memo. Obviously that model is really old - probably 25 years now - but its one of the places where scale creep has been particularly bad. Some ranges, like Eldar, have had very little creep at all, the oldest RT guardians are pretty much in scale with the current range.

That's why you've basically got to have the Gorkamorka rider for that bike.

Well, I did it - a Warmaster Vampire Counts army in less than a month. I finished up the basing and dulcote yesterday, so these guys are ready to go! Unfortunately, we are set for (yet another) snow storm on Wednesday (gently caress you March, 2018,) which is the day I fly out, and rather than get stuck in Philly (which I know will happen,) I am leaving Tuesday afternoon. As such, I won't be able to get photos tonight, but I'll try to get a few shots from the hotel and on the gaming table. I was going to bail on the NM tourney at Adepticon due to not knowing the new rules, but now that I'll be in a hotel room tomorrow night with nothing to do, maybe I'll read up on it. How different is the new version vs. the old/Community Edition?

It’s very different but mainly because it has alternating activations. I’d say you have nothing to lose by taking part.

Normally I'd agree, but this is technically a tournament - judging by past years, it's pretty laid back, but I don't want to be that guy showing up to a tourney not knowing which end to point at the enemy.

Anyone have any thoughts on an alternate Orlock scheme? I'm not really that interested in the studio colors. I'm almost leaning towards either a dark red or drab green for the shirt, but then I'm not sure where else to take it. For reference:

To me Orlock screams Mad Max so I'd probably stick to black, brown and tan mostly. Something like bright orange could be fun too..

The blue really drives home that they are literally blue collar gangers. If you're feeling brave, you could do them in a hodgepodge of flannels or southwestern patterns to evoke cowboy roots.

loving lol. I agree with the Mad Max suggestion above. If you don’t like the blue then you could replace it with brownish cream cloth and some greys that would fit in with a brown/black leather scheme.

Orlocks in bright orange, you say? I'm currently painting up some of the new ones in the same scheme, since the lasgunners are out and it would be handy to have a combat shotgun or two in the mix.

MrFlibble posted:https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Genestealer-Cults-Necromunda-Gang-Collection-ENG-2018 The problem with this is that it doesn't include Acolyte Hybrids (your champions) or any Aberrants (your heavy melee specialists). Probably the best source of a GSC gang is the genetealer half of the deathwatch overkill box but that's wildly expensive. Frankly I'm a bit annoyed that the GSC gang has units that are only available in deathwatch overkill box (aberrants) and no actual genestealers.

Hm. Deathwatch Overkill is a stand-alone board game? It's pricey but is it any fun on it's own? The kill team made of marines from different chapters would probably be fun to paint but I wouldn't want them for anything except for the board game part. If I get the minis from this set would I need anything other than the White Dwarf with the rules?
