DancingShade posted:It was the easiest victory I ever had and my army was objectively poo poo in comparison. The idea of deploying all your stuff at point blank range in charge distance of your opponent sounds great until you realize that perhaps there are some armies practically begging you to do that. Not to mention the part where you're paying a significant price (both points and money) to drop a bunch of eggs with a boltgun on top. There's so many better stratagems and units with DS built in that it's not even funny. It would be cool IMO if drop pods were changed into semi-mobile fortifications, with cover, bonuses to units garrisoned inside, etc., would also be fun to see some fluffy Imperial Fist drop pods that are basically just falling egg fortresses.

I like using my Trygon prime tunnels to bring along 20 devourer Termagants. 60 shots and a monstrous creature in your face wherever I want? 120 with some CP? Totally worth it. 'Drop pod' spores just seem not to be worth the cost.

By the way, since Blood Angels have shown up a number of times here I figured this would be worth sharing: Gunpla wings pack that's coming out soon, multiple balljoints for easy posing before using greenstuff to hide said joints, should be useful for librarian dreadnoughts, though they're likely way too large for infantry.

Booley posted:Wow, those look spectacularly not at all like something in warhammer. They're pretty similar to whoever's librarian dread was linked in her a while ago, who had similar pure white wings. It would be a pretty simple conversion; cut off the backpack pegs, greenstuff over the balljoints, connect the piece gaps, sculpt some feathers over said gaps (large feathers are extremely easy to sculpt), and you're set.

Hey Primaris nerds; how have Plasma Inceptors been working out for folks? This is the 1K list I'm currently goofing around with: Blood Angels Battalion (8 CP) HQ: Gravis Captain HQ: Primaris Lt w/ Power Sword T: 5x Intercessor w/ Chainsword, Grenade Launcher T: 5x Intercessor w/ Chainsword, Grenade Launcher T: 5x Intercessor w/ Chainsword, Grenade Launcher FA: 6x Inceptor w/ Plasma Exterminator HS: 5x Hellblasters w/ Plasma Incinerators Not the greatest against hordes but it adds up to 1000.

Plasmaceptors are better with DA where you can give them the 3-damage stratagem. It's hard to know how useful they'll be in a post-FAQ world since their main value was dropping in and blowing something away early doors, although I think there's still value to be had from them.

I haven’t looked into Inceptors assembly much, particularly the plasma cabling - would magnetizing the weapons work at all or are those cables a big problem?

If he's taking Blood Angels he can at least get them into position turn 1 with Upon Wings of Fire, but would obviously be giving up the chance at having rerolls by doing so which is probably a dealbreaker with plasma.

I've been tempted to try them still though. With Speed of the Raven it's super easy to get into blasting range with bikes turn 1, and can follow up with a charge after if I want, but bikes can also get shot up pretty easy if I can't close the distance, and dropping a squad of 6 with character support, even on turn two, sounds like a great way to clear out vehicles hiding in a corner.

You did a good job, kudos Just saying, they look fine and would just need minimal tooling to hide articulation. Warhammer's had pretty much every variety of angel wings from "realistic bird wings" to "metal blades welded to a golden frame" anyways.

The weapon arms are totally separate so the easiest thing to do is find an extra set of shoulder pads so you don't have to do any cutting and can just swap the entire arm assemblies.

I'm getting into 40k for the first time, and I'm thinking of picking up Tyranids. 1) Are they a good army for people starting off? 2) Doing a little research the first things I want to buy are two of the Starter box and possibly a Hive Tyrant. How would you spend your first $400?

They're also gigantic compared to the typical 40k miniature. 1/144 gundams are about 15cm (ish) tall and those wings are big even for them. Maybe if you wanted to put wings on a knight or riptide but they're going to be off scale for everything else.

The plasma cables are a bitch. You could probably do something cool by cutting them off and adding more bottles from the Hellblaster kit or something. You would need more shoulder pads.

Well, had my first game with my Thousand Sons army vs an AdMech army. (First time facing admech) Those new baby Knights are brutal. I was against whatever Forgeworld gives their units FNP and it was a slaughter. Highlight of the match was the baby knight causing a daisy chain of exploding walkers that wiped out half the table, including Arhiman and my Knight Atrapos. It was a fun game, but I am definitely at a loss. Turn 2 deepstrike definitely put me at a disadvantage with my strategy of dropping in a terminator squad, sorceror and rubricai squad. Other than that, it just felt like none of my units were doing particularly much. (Beside the atrapos, of course) Does anyone have any tips for fighting admech? I definitely wasnt expecting to get shut down that hard, haha.
