He is the youngest and bestest space marine captain the Imperium has ever seen. Also he's been adopted by Guilliman and is now crown prince of Terra, so the Inquisition is on his side too." "So what's the back story for your warlord?"

Edit: I only like trouncing my opponent if they have already proven themselves to be a complete dick. I would much rather have an even slog that ends up, like that game someone just talked about. The one, where he was left with one guy holding the relic in heroic victory while cowering in a mess of giant pipes. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 14:07 on May 23, 2018 |

panascope posted:“My Warlord is the one fated to kill yours.” "My warlord went to the same school as yours, and from a young age continually competed with your warlord, only to be beaten down and bypassed for promotion after promotion, watching his bitter rival become the youngest space marine captain the Imperium had ever known, in no small part thanks to his adoptive father's impressive name and standing. When the big space marine school dance came around, your warlord and his chaplain cronies beat up my warlord and tossed him in a dumpster. So while your warlord was bathing in accolades, my warlord trained his body and mind and made a pact with the dark gods, and is destined to return to the battlefield and crane kick your warlord square in the face"

DancingShade posted:I can't imagine ANY timeline where I'd want a bunch of screaming kids running around near my carefully painted and delicate models when they haven't yet learned to look after their lego for beginners kits and how to not break their toys at home. Ever seen a kid with no clue (or permission) pick up your carefully assembled metal/resin centerpiece by the most delicate section? I'm in my 40's, my son is 12. He plays Crimson Fists. I play two types of games. One is at my house or friend's houses. We'll set up and play a wargame. If we're playing at my place and my son isn't out doing something else, he's welcome to play. He knows the rules - don't touch other people's models without permission, be respectful, etc. There's no screaming. The other type of game is when we play out in public, like at a store. We'll happily play against similarly respectful opponents. I absolutely understand the desire to have "adult night" wargames - that's how my Historicals games go down for the most part. But there are kids out there who can handle themselves. And, for that matter, there adults who can't. I think it's more about finding the right people myself.

He gets to see how people should (and definitely shouldn't) act at an age that really forms his expectations for adult behavior. Plus he gets to spend time with his Dad which is awesome.

Cessna posted:I'm in my 40's, my son is 12. He plays Crimson Fists. As always it's about playing with the right people, and in this case, parenting. I've been wargaming since I was 6 and I guarantee I ended up across the table from some people who really didn't want to play with a little kid. My dad taught me to be a good sport, respect my opponent's models, and generally not to be lovely. I was at a Warhammer store about a year ago for a game with a friend and there were two kids, probably around 10, who came by to watch. One was super obnoxious, insisted he knew everything best, and was loudly telling us what we should be doing. The second kid was thoughtful, soft spoken, and willing to learn and listen before speaking. In later trips to the store I'd see the obnoxious kid get dropped off my his mom and given $50, while I'd see the second kid playing with other kids his own age or painting with his grandma. I think that second kid will really go places in this hobby.

Irate Tree posted:Alternatively, "put yourself in their shoes, how would it feel to have that happen to you?" Expecting that all parents care about whether or not their spoiled hellspawn empathizes with others is a recipe for disappointment. There are a lot of really, really awesome parents out there who go out of their way to make sure their kids are well behaved and respectful of others. Unfortunately there are plenty of others who either don't pay attention, or don't think it's important because they don't care about you either.

Heavy thunder hammers deal 6 wounds on wound rolls of 6+, deathwatch get innate reroll 1s to wound and +1 to wound rolls for 2cp. This seems like a hilarious tank squishing set up, but a squad of 5 vanguard vets 3 storm shields + chainswords, 2 heavy thunder hammers is 170 points, which is a heavy investment (but not loads more than most DW squads). Is this going to get blown off the table every game I play?

The amount of extra work required for that only to glue it to a base makes me question whether it was necessary. It was fun to move it around and make robot walker noises for a while.

Does it have actual articulation, or is it more that they have ball/socket connections that let you glue it into different poses?

Alokgen posted:I could use some advice on babbys first genestealer cult list. I only vaguely know what I'm doing and how to structure their squads. Your Acolyte Hybrids generally want larger squads because otherwise you're Cult Ambushing to give up First Blood if you charge with more than one of them at a time. Also, the Heavy Rock Saw is pretty much the best pick for them, since it doesn't have -1 to hit and is cheaper than the Cutter. The only other deal is that Aberrants aren't going to swing for any targets against which the Primus himself would be effective--I found a mite more success throwing him in with Acolytes and using the Strategem on the Aberrants to get them where they're going.
