I don't even remember when the last one was released, but I had pretty much resigned myself to accepting that there wouldn't be any more Cain.

So I have this big blob of Orks that I got from a friend way back in like 2003 or 4 when he quit. I had them sitting in a plastic case until I wanted to use it, so I pulled em out, did a count. I have 74 choppas, 10 shootaz, 6 burna boyz, 1 rokkit launcha, 1 big shoota and a large ork with a pistol and sword, I can only assume he's a Boss Nob? Either way, it seems like a lot when I look at it, but it's like 600 points haha

I haven't broken down the prices but most people aren't running Wyches (unless they already had the models) and there's mixed perspective on Reavers. Raiders are a safer bet but still not a for sure buy. Kabalite warriors are by far the first unit you'll for sure want and venoms are probably the second. Figure out the pricing from there I guess? Honestly, I'd just grab kabalite warriors and work on those while waiting for people to get a better understanding of what units work best for Drukhari.

While they aren't as important for stopping [non-angel/genecult/necron] alpha strikes, I imagine they could still be useful for denying DS area around a high-value unit likely to end up alone, since they're the cheapest marine troops + can take rifles to harass from a distance.

True, and dropping the Storms gives me a fuckload more points to play with.

Raiders are a safer bet but still not a for sure buy. I'm a big fan of Reavers. They're reasonably tough, extremely fast and not too costly. I've only played a few games with them so far, but I've run them in a big pack and given them the +Toughness drug and as many Blasters as I can. They zoom in, annihilate a vehicle and then tie something up in melee before jetting off the next turn to do the same thing. I was running them as Cult of the Red Grief, so in a pinch I could advance them and still fire the blasters and charge.

I just picked up an Immolator. Is is worth magnetizing the weapon options? I can see the use of a mobile Multi-melta platform, but not sure even that can make me switch from a 12" super flamer.

For 2 points more per model you get vanguard with +1a and wargear options. The only time I've ever successfully fielded assault marines was shoving a bunch of them into a rhino loaded down with flamers, and even then company veterans for 3 points per model more are probably going to do you better. 2 5-mans with 4 flamers and a power sword or something on the sgts worked out okay though in a lower point game.

Cross posting from paint thread. Mostly to help motivate me to get back to painting after a 3 week break. Finished the leader of my Stealth team. F edge highlighting black. I am no good at it when I can't get that magical 45 degree angle. On another note, I am loving the hell out of the newer gloss agrax shade gw put out. It is talent in a bottle. Eventually I will go back in and add a glow effect to the barrell. But I am still learning subtle OSL and do not want to mess it up. Once I get better after practice on test models, I will come back to him. The eye glow was pure accident.

What are your (or anyone's) thoughts on camo cloaks? I tend to ditch them as soon as I'm at the end of my points limit and wanting to add a hellfire missile or something. If I'm using them to set up on objectives or deny deep strike areas, do I want the cloaks to be able to survive longer or are they too expensive?

E: By way of an answer, if you can sit them high on a building and give them sniper rifles and reasonably rely on them not moving (that is, you have other units that will maneuver) it might well be worth it but for anything less probably not?

To call back to earlier (and perpetual) conversation on Allies/Detachments; It's nothing more than a vibe though, isn't it? We all love the idea of doing allied forces, Imperial Guard & Adeptus Mechanicus or whatever. That feels 'right' and to the canon. (Yes, I know, bear with me) It's when you get armies of 'all the CC bits should be Blood Angels, and all the shooty bits should be Raven Guard' that just feels instinctively wrong. It's the right thing absolutely to do competitively, but that it's viable to do feels just... wrong. Like it shouldn't be so obvious to do something that jars the mental image of the Space Marine army or whatever. To continue with the example, the idea that you'll never see Blood Angel Devastators again, because it's 'smarter' and a trivial tax to make them Raven Guard, or Raven Guard Assault Marines is just... kinda sad, I guess? The system basically incentives very role-specific detachments, rather than coherent forces in their own right. I dunno man, just, boo.
