Boon posted:That's possible, I mean, as an Eldar player I only stand to benefit. But some limitation to WHO can use which stratagems or relics isn't a significant shift. It would also be a pretty elegant solution to the Shield-Captain issue since the relics and stratagems that make them over-the-top would be restricted or that'd be the only thing the army uses to the detriment of the rest of the list. I agree. Limiting relics and stratagem to the Warlord faction would be a reasonable constraint that IMO wouldn't significantly impact the options for players to create diverse army lists.

Hot tentacle tip from gunpla experience: take some bendy wire and a thin styrene tube. Fold the wire until it snugly fits in and holds onto the tube. Cut the tube up into segments, and customize them as you see fit. Thread the tube segments onto the wire, and add caps to the ends of the wire so the segments cant fall off. You now have a nice bendy robo-tube to decorating giant robots. For dynamic posing on the miniature I'd use glue or greenstuff to hold them in place. If you leave the wire exposed you have the bonus of the appearance of cable detail between the segments. Neurolimal fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Apr 11, 2018 |

So with the likely upcoming changes to Hive Tyrants I’m considering getting some Lictors to provide cheap and effective Elite slots to fill out a Brigade at 1500+pts. The problem being the models are tough to find and expensive—any idea where the best source would be beside scraping eBay?

ro5s posted:I'd like to see army traits to be limited to warlord's army trait only too, so you can have Space Marines + Cadians in an army, or Imperial Fists and Imperial Guard, but not Imperial Fist + Cadians. I feel like the Regimental Tactics/equivelent is so baked into the points cost that removing it for allies would be a little unfair? However, re-quoting this: Floppychop posted:Allowing you to only use stratagems from your Warlord faction would solve a lot of it. As a sensible compromise we can all agree on.

I would like GW to make a soup option to accompany my orks so I can grab some reliable long range anti-tank. They should release Diggas as a faction which then allow me to ally in imperial guard, similar to the Nids. Or, some other bullshit fluff reason to allow me to fill in the weakness with my Boyz.Pendent posted:Does not compute The reliable comes from the ally and the meaning of reliable is relative to the context of Orks. poo poo which hits on 3s and 4s and is not sat on a T4 model with a 6+, a man can dream.

Having said that, I've gotten way more mileage out of Pyrovores than Lictors in 8E, plus they're a few points cheaper. You're probably gonna have the same issue with price/availability though.

I'd also like to play 40k, since I'm getting close to 5000pts that have yet to see a single battle. Z the IVth posted:Get a tentacle maker and use greenstuff covered paperclips to make the cables.

People always focus on the cost of the books when the armies start at 2500pts and one of the units isn't useable until games of 13k pts ..and 90% of it is resin from Forge World.

TTerrible posted:People always focus on the cost of the books when the armies start at 2500pts I'd say the games start at 2000 points though I've played plenty below that. 1500 can be a good starting point, but lists will be dominated by tactical blobs without much room for anything else. Or 1000 with Zone Mortalis

 As nice as the Black Books are, most of the fluff from them are up on the Wikia and Lexie Also 1d4chan, which isn't as bad as some people say, but it's not great either.

How far would the Calth set get to fielding a small force in a zone mortalis setting? I can't afford much forge world stuff but it would be fun to have a few hundred points to play with, maybe by adding something from forge world to the plastic. 30k seems dope as hell and I may or may not have bought Betrayal at Calth set after reading Know No Fear...
