How hard is it to swap out Russ canons? I like the Metal Slug stumpy cannon look but Demolishers are garbage and I don't want WYSIWYG folks getting fussy when I tell them they're all standard Battle Canon.

Depends, you can set up a pretty easy weapon swap with the Demolisher since all the guns sorta slot in on the pivot. Not too sure about the normal Leman Russ since I've never actually built the "newest" kit of it. Only have one of the older versions that barely came with any variants to it.

A demolisher should have two profiles. One for single targets, one scaling one for units.

Like a d3 for vehicles or units under 5 an 2d6 for 20 man an above.

Just make blast a rule where you get d3 the minimum hit score, d6 if it's a numeral over the minimum hit score and 2d6 if it's a six.

The guns on the Demolisher hull are ezpz because they all share the same lower mantlet. You can build the different guns with their own upper mantlet and swap them out as you please. The regular Russ is a bit harder I think. The battle cannon and Vanquisher are just different end pieces on the gun barrel and the Eradicator and Exterminator are their own full pieces.

New recruit Daethel has the same dark skin and green eyes as his mother, instantly intriguing him, and the boys form a bond in their soldiering.

Also a 1 is never going to be a good thing in a GW game when it comes to rolling, so even if it's not a prime it's definitely not going to have some cool mechanics associated with it. :shrug:

[Sarah McLachlan's In the Arms of an Angel plays.]

Five-year-old Samandiriel, a frail child living in rural rad-scorched Baal, has no idea if he will eat today. Due to severe malnutrition, little Samandiriel is dangerously small for his age. He is not gaining weight or growing taller, and his mother, Nadai, worries for her son's health. "The medicae tells me I must feed him more food so he can gain weight," Nadai said.

Samandiriel' parents struggle bring him food, but most of the food is irradiated and the Imperial Tithe takes everything else. The more weight Samandiriel loses the more distraught they become, and the more their thoughts become dangerous.

But by buying one model per day, you can help. Buying a single $35 character can provide GW with enough money to provide a meal for a fictional malnourished child, and because GW’s Food To Keep Fictional Kids From Falling To Nurgle So They Can Grow Up To Become Space Marines (tm) buys pretend food supplies in bulk you can imagine how much further your gift will go toward delivering soul-saving food.

Please, won't you help feed a starving child like Samandiriel today?

Baal is not subject to Imperial tithes, REDO IT!!

I don't mean to do it, but I have accidentally trolled my friend two days in a row. Yesterday I mentioned female primaris and he was mad at me because marines are MEN and he is a fluff puritan. Today it's warham kidz, but I managed to calm him down because he has children and they might like these books about poo poo he enjoys.

to The London Grand Tournament
Yesterday at 05:42
Just back from weekend at London GT. Heresy event was great fun, BUT event as a whole was worst organised event I’ve been to in 20+ years of warhammer.

Day one had massive, massive queues (2-3 security guards doing bag searches on 600+ gamers with cases of models), absolutely appalling scenery, literally half painted polystyrene (I’d be ashamed to put it on my kitchen table to play with a mate - pictured).

The 40k competitive event was like something out of Event Horizon, people absolutely packed in like sardines, no room to move whatsoever, god knows how they got it past the fire regs.

Day 2 had the discovery the organisers had failed to order all the merchandise they promised, or promised prizes for events. Cleanup was volunteers, leaving frustrated side event organisers being hustled out and hassled by security.

It was an absolute mess, as far as I’m concerned the guys running it were total spivs - YMMV on ambitious incompetents, hopeless idiot amateurs or borderline con artists, but I definitely will never attend one of their events again, and would warn anyone in the community to avoid like the plague.

The more costly solution is to see if you can't find turret kits on Ebay or on Bitz stores. Something like this and use that for spare weapons if you have any.
The demolisher is a bit easier to magnetize though as you can see with the way the gun is assembled.

GW should make new Obliterator models. They should also come out with some new Obliterator units. Enough to run a small Obliterator army or Obliterator detachment with your CSM army. Like Custodes, but way better because Obliterators are cool and Custodes are lame.

As much as I agree that there could be at least one more factor adding spice to gunlines to differentiate one gun from another, I'd really rather not go back to gameplay being single player, non-interactive lessons in geometry class for every movement phase trying to minimize the damage a template can do to each unit.

I get that, and it's better for movement and pace if you don't have to worry about every little position. I really, really like how they did flamer weapons. I think the issue is blast. I like the idea of weapons that are based on unit size. For example something like (N/5)d3; for every 5 models in the target unit you get d3 shots.
