I really do hope the orks get a good release. Its a good omen when orks get good stuff. Hoping for a PrimeOrk. Hoping for good rules for looting imperial vehicles. Hoping for mor gretchin stuff. I love orks even though I play Eldar

I'd be tickled pink if the Ork codex just had simple rules for looted stuff. Give me two options, like a looted trukk and looted wagon, for basically light and heavy vehicles.

Fully painted 2k week to week list motherfuckers!  took me god damned long enough at nine and a half months but with scouts and that whirlwind done I have seven days to paint Guilliman and then I'm full steam onto the admech.  Also might of heroes on a contemptor is extremely funny, it tanked basically an entire necron army on t8 3+5++.

Still have quite a few touchups to take care of. Painting the new Death Guard is extremely frustrating. I am starting to wonder if I can get by with just base coats + wash and calling it a day because I still have a lot to do before Nova. That is one clean Nurglebro.

So maybe I will see him there I'm always happy to chill with my 40k dad. And don't worry about Campbell. He told me in private that he is quitting the hobby due to all of the extensive and expensive surgery to become and actual space wolf. He can't do both, apparently.

I just realised its completely possible for a genestealer cult player to mind control my captain and get him to kill himself by overcharging his plasma pistol. That's loving terrifying.

There's only a 1 in 6 chance of that. Unless he makes him target a unit in cover, and then tosses a command reroll.

  Spent some time today trying to get my Trukk looking like it was made out of cardboard. Painted more shades of brown than a Quake 1 level. It also led me to search for "cardboard ork" on Google to see if anyone's had a similar idea and it came up with a bunch of funny actual-cardboard conversions. Orks are the best.

What's the easiest way to attain a pdf of a codex? It'd be nice to have it on the iPad. I ordered the Dark Eldar codex from Games Workshop, can I just like, shoot them an e-mail with my order number and ask politely?

You need to equal or beat his leadership on 3d6 too, which is 5/8 chance (or 1/2 for an Ultramarine), and he rerolls 1s so it's going to be a 1/6 chance, with you spending a CP 5/6th of the time. You're looking at a little less than 10% chance but it is pretty cool.

And given that they sell the digital copy separately and at full price, I am doubtful they will give it to you for free.

You'd have to buy the epub version and run it through a some kind of printing software after futzing with the settings to make it look good. There's also plenty of copies already printed to PDF in pirate fileshare drives if you look hard enough.

Speaking of inquisitors, RAW for Authority of the Inquisition says that they can embark onto -any- Imperium transport....could you make the argument that they can embark onto enemy imperium transports? Say, ones with firing ports?

Have any of the Admech players in here run a 10 man squad of Sicarian Infiltrators with Flechette Blasters and the Fury of Mars stratagem? It looks sort of terrifying but it’s a decent chunk of points/CP E:Wrath of Mars I guess. Lotta words for being mad Pendent fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Apr 5, 2018 |

It looks sort of terrifying but it’s a decent chunk of points/CP It's roughly 260 pts and 3cp to do 10 wounds to anything with a 3+ save so it's a bit steep. Electro priests are a bit better for those shenanigans since for 280 pts and 2cp you deal 17.7 wounds against any 3+, putting you on decent odds to murk magnus.

The infiltrators deep strike into range though- it sounds like priests have a hard time getting into range if they want to stay Mars and have access to Wrath of Mars. I’m also not sure where you got 3 cp from for the Infiltrators-WoM is only two.

Doctrina imperative, if you're gonna spend CP on it you might as well get as many mortals as possible out of it and that 1cp gets you 2 more mortal wounds.

Otherwise I guess you could just take the 5 wounds for 2cp and snipe a poorly screened character.

I use dominate all the time, and have yet to have this work unfortunately. However, I've always had the other player roll for the attack since it was his guy doing it? Should the player using the power roll for the attack instead? Also I don't understand the "target a unit in cover" portion of this e: Ahhhh, got it!

I mean on the bright side, even if you dont make him blow himself up you still get a free plasma shot off on an enemy on a "good" roll. Dominate is pretty cool. Though now I'm curious as to which army has access to both the most -tohit debuffs and Dominate. E: a Perils of the Warp deathsplosion affects enemy units too, right? Does there exist a cheap psyker unit in any army who is explicitly bad at casting? Neurolimal fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Apr 5, 2018 |
