Are there any plastic Sisters models right now? Celestine counts, right? I know they have at least one Forge World vehicle.

Was skimming through all the Chaos stuff in battlescribe (mostly to find cool models ) and it made me curious: official tourneys still require official models, right? How does that work for stuff that has rules but no model, ala Hellwright?

How does that work for stuff that has rules but no model, ala Hellwright? GW events require GW models. A conversion using all GW parts would be fine, or stuff you made yourself (i.e. your own sculpts), but not 3rd party. Non-GW events don't care.

Never had anyone make a big deal about little upgrades like adrenal glands. I'd avoid proxying significant guns(non pintle mounts) in any formal setting, but other than that nobody looks close enough to notice.

Well looking at the top 16 adepticon lists gives me slightly more hope that my Craftworlds list will survive the FAQs relatively unscathed, and the Tyranid menace will get a much needed nerf. That does assume they’re intending to make one final editing pass after adepticon, which might be over optimistic.

Artum posted:Got a link on those? https://spikeybits.com/2018/03/40k-adepticon-championship-top-16-lists-revealed.html It looks a lot more like the EU metagame than the ITC one, which strongly supports my theory that yes dark reapers are slightly undercosted and Ynnari/Alaitoc was a mistake, but the Eldar dominance has been massively exacerbated by the ITC format favouring them. I’m basically just a bit worried about the Eldar getting overnerfed, because outside the ITC format there are plenty of ways to game against Eldar, but ITC dominates the conversation, and a bunch of the FLG people are playtesters. I strongly believe that the Tyranid codex is much more “across the board” overpowered than the Eldar one, and the existence of one OP Eldar strategy that crushes the ITC format masks this.

I'll be sad if they nerf Hive Tyrants. My list is much more fair than these spammy lists, but I still run four of them. They're just hard to kill, and flight makes them hard to pin down. What's the likely GW-style nerf for these kinds of problems? Just points increase on the Tyrants?

Artum posted:Cheers, yeah after last time its weird how few people are playing eldar. At least according to the podcasts I’ve listened to, the consensus is that the adepticon format and terrain style means that lists need to have a convincing plan to table most opponents and prevent the same happening to them, without being able to rely on having access to significant LOS blocking terrain. This broadly lines up with the ETC style format, which is mixed maelstrom and eternal war, and often awards extra points for tabling. The same people believe that the ITC objective format favours lists that can execute rapid manoeuvres and precision murder in turns 1-3, and the prevalence of perfect LOS blockers (ITC terrain rules include buildings that you can go into but block LOS in and out) means stopping yourself getting tabled after scoring all your points early on is much more doable. Perhaps unsurprisingly, handsome, sophisticated (but also very fragile) space elves excel rather more in one of these than the other. The craft worlds book is still great, and I tabled three opponents at the ETC style event I went to earlier in the month, but even in that one event I can see how ITC would have favoured me - one of my losses I was massively ahead on points, from grabbing objectives early on but the game went to turn 6 and that let my opponent wipe my last unit out. In ITC style I could, as in understand it, have borderline “locked in” the win, because my opponent had no non-vehicle models left, so even one unit hiding in a no-LOS building would have been an insurmountable obstacle once I was majorly ahead on points. Hive Tyrants need some combination of a point hike, dropping to one cast and their invuln to 5++, they can currently project significant threat in all three “action” phases, while being mobile and absurdly hard to kill, which is absolutely outrageous on a ~200 point model. Or the Tau commander nerf, which is honestly most likely, as I’ve got to assume they want people’s printed books to remain as accurate as possible, and an “external” rule achieves that.

Maybe you're right! But I'm looking at some of these lists and they're way more broken. I feel like my Hive Tyrants aren't as strong as Daemon Princes which are prevalent in my meta.

I'd be happy with like a tau commander nerf (I only run one tyrant) or a points hike on wings or overall smite spam nerf or some combination of those but walkrants aren't good and loving with the number of casts and their invuln would make them even more bad.

I expect the commander nerf, but I think you’re underestimating how good walkrants are - flyrants are obviously the problem, but by my count a walkrant with twin devours and a pair of MRCs is 163 points. That’s exceptionally competitive against a plenty of other things you can spend 163 points on.

Ah, yes, so, there is a second problem here, where I don't use the claws because I think they look doofy on walkrants, so I forgot about them. They shouldn't be free, they are point costed for broodlords and way too cheap on tyrants, totally agree.
