Pendent posted:I don’t care what kind of armor they wear. I just want some dedicated assault Primaris with jump packs. I'm still devastated that there's a significant lack of Chainswords in the Primaris range. Also, speaking of AdMech - everyone is really hyped for Fires of Cyraxus to come out so we can play with 30k toys in 40k, but I think i'm one of the only people that isn't. I don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money to get forgeworld poo poo shipped to California. Holding out for an expansion on the regular AdMech range.

Sure, power swords are probably better but having the extra attack is still solid and it just feel wrong to not have more chainswords in my lists. I'm very much in agreement about Forgeworld. My hobby budget is a very strict $50/mo which doesn't lend itself very well to spending hundreds of dollars on resin, particularly when those resin models are almost certain to have poorly written rules.

Hustlin Floh posted:Have you just totally forgotten about Hellblasters or what? I could have listed everything primaris that has plasma as an option, but instead I just picked the plasma primaris unit in my 1000pt list vOv I went with Inceptors instead of Hellblasters because the list has no vehicles (what with half of it unitwise deep striking, and the other half having dece range) so I'm better off having threatening stuff able to deploy anywhere. Also, Inceptors look cooler.

Assault Hellblasters have a good threat range. I only have a unit of 5 footslogging and they always do work.

When they announced the Reivers, I was really disappointed that they were just carrying blades. I had plans to do a Flesh Tearers Primaris army, but without chainswords what's the point?

Are there chain knives in 40k? There's chain- swords, axes, fists, cleavers, but I don't recall any knives. Perhaps there's a minimum size needed to chain something up.

A chainsword is the same thing as a combat knife, no reason why you can't put chainswords on your stealthy skull boys.

What do you guys use to haul your armies around? I have a small Pelican case now, but as my army grows I'm gonna need more space. I was looking at things like this and wondering if I could convert them with some foam to make a nice hauler.

It's really hard to transport AdMech - so many spiky bits that can break. I've instead got a plastic bin with a lid, glued some sheet metal on the lid and the bottom and magnetized the bases of my guys for easy transport. I'll take a photo of it later today.

The Deleter posted:Question for Necrons since I have Forgebane: Personal preferences: Whip coils for the Wraiths - Being able to still attack if I lose the wraith has been remarkably useful. Depends, if you’re buddying them up with a Cryptek stick with Warscythes. If not go with the swords and shields. For the comedy option put a unit of Warscythe Lychguard with Anrakyr the Traveller and a Cryptek.

Not sold on the Whip Coils. 9pts a model seems steep. Maybe one per unit of 3+. This is not coming from any sort of experience, just from reading the book, so I could be very wrong.

I'm vacillating on wraith loadouts as well. I hate having to build models with options before having experience with them. Makes me get obsessive and self-doubty.

Not sure why it was Stig that went up with him. He's a nice dude and excellent painter but a very new and inexperienced player compared to Lawrence. Bone would have been better, although I guess there's an element of who was available to drive up to Nottingham in the middle of a weekday.

How well do Harlequins interact with CWE in 8th edition? I've been thinking of picking up some masqued dancers to paint up as a change of pace from my craftworlders and I realized that they're getting a new codex pretty soon. Could make for an interesting expansion on my Eldar.

SE London also has Bexley Reapers in Bexley on Mondays. It’s a good club, though I’ve not been for a while as Mondays are not a good day for me, also I have young children. I’ve also used it to form a close group of gaming buddies and we tend to play at each other’s houses, which is nice. Warboar in Bromley is also good.

Thanks for the 'Cron input. I'm mostly building them for my brother and he seems pretty sold on having the shields cos they look cool, which is fair enough! Whip coils seem pretty cool to me but the pistol might be decent with Mephrit for having a cheeky extra attack in melee. Brother likes whip coils though, so there we go.

I mean the goal is to showcase the Drukhari army so you run to your shop tomorrow to get the codex. It would look pretty bad if they got torn the hell up.

It got worse - I realised I hadn’t revised my planned 1500 list since Battlefield Birmingham, and my current draft still contains 6 fire dragons, despite the fact that me and fire dragons are Not Speaking at the moment. I should probably just sub in a unit of banshees and a bonesinger, but a traitor part of my brain is asking whether I can paint up a Cabal of the Black Heart patrol in time. Edit: agreed, release the FAQ GW, I can’t take the fear much longer.
