I'd love Rogue Trader to be a 40k equivalent to Silver Tower, but I think the trader's side might have a few too many models for that. It'd also be a cool Kill Team tie-in, but no one knows anything right now. For all we know, it could be a revamped Deathwatch Overkill. That actually wasn't a bad game, but I think I'm one of the few that actually played the drat thing instead of just buying it for the models.TheBigAristotle posted:At least Shadespire is fantasy to Necro's grimdark future  Now, Mordheim on the other hand...

SRM posted:Rules-wise, nobody knows. Setting-wise, Rogue Trader ostensibly is about a Rogue Trader/their crew vs. Chaos baddies in space, and Necromunda is drugged up gangers who've never seen the sun murdering each other in the underhive. Sounds like Rogue Trader might be my jam then. Drugged up and never seen the sun is too much like posting in these forums, so I'm good on that. Also never really dug on the aesthetic. Too cyber-grunge for me. I know it's probably real humid in the underhive, so you gotta have the guns out even when the sun's blotted out, but I like a nice bit of space armor or futuristic sleek outfits.

For now I'm gonna stick with getting my DW painted. Did the edge highlighting on my Corvus last night and I'm pretty pleased. Gotta fix a couple mistakes then it's onto the silver and gold.

P3 Thamar Black, Dark Reaper highlight, then Fenrisian Grey on the very edges. The highlights give it a little bit of blue which I think is where that depth comes from, and it makes the warm colors stand out that much more. TheBigAristotle posted:Debating on a red stripe.

Hey so is it still ok to use Drukhari and Craftworlds in the same army? I was reading something that alluded to an FAQ or rules change which messed with one's ability to do so, but I don't understand the battle-forged rules well enough yet to figure it out on my own.

Within the same army is fine, within the same detachment is what they put the kibosh on. So its fine to have asuryani and drukhari detachments together, but you cant have both sets of units in a single aeldari detachment.

Looking at the van saar stuff, they really make my orlocks look like dogshit. Better BS and better gear without actually being that much more expensive. My orlock gang is 1 leader, 2 champs, and 4 gangers. My buddy with van saar has his whole gang with the 4+ save armor and great guns and he's got 1 leader, 1 champ, 4 gangers. His gangers are as good at shooting as my champs. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 16:06 on May 24, 2018 |

Newest badcast really giving me the urge to buy some big beefy boys and...do nothing else past that point because there's not really a scene around here. Question for folks who've played in campaigns - does the necromunda community just magnetize everything or make bespoke models for every potential ganger they might recruit?

Deified Data posted:Newest badcast really giving me the urge to buy some big beefy boys and...do nothing else past that point because there's not really a scene around here. So make a scene! If you have 40k players around you, convincing them to try Necro probably won't be too hard. As for campaigns - the new rules have it so your dudes don't let go of their weapons, so generally having a bespoke model for each dude is the way to go. In the case of the Necroslam weekend, it meant most of us started with 7 or 8 models and had more already built and painted, but would save up credits between games to buy the other minis we'd built. By the end of it I'd bought the other 2 models I had built and painted and used them in my last two games. Most weapons are viable so it's not quite the gear treadmill that old Necromunda was, and your dude with a stub cannon or whatever will still be useful later on. BuffaloChicken posted:I'm saving the Badcast listen for a long drive to a work site this weekend, but I hope you detail at least a fraction of the pain you delivered unto my poor gang. We detailed our games pretty thoroughly! The best part is my juve that parkoured over a hole before stomping her. I felt kinda bad about that.

Safety Factor posted:You need more guys if you're running Orlocks. 8 is probably the bare minimum though if you can manage 9-10, do it. It's really tempting to take two heavy weapons at the start, but you can change your champions' gear later on. Pick one and give the other champion something like a bolter or combat shotgun. Van Saar are really strong, but they're also pricier than even Goliaths. They probably should've been T2 if they were going to make their ballistic skill this ridiculous. At least the gangers and juves. Limiting them to one toughness increase instead of two isn't much of a downside. Yeah, they'll fold in melee, but getting there is the issue. Yeah my gang is 3 autogun dudes, a shotgun, 2 heavy weapon champs (1 stubber and 1 harpoon) and the leader with a combat shotty, claw, and strip kit. Downgrading the harpoon to a combat shotgun and dropping the strip kit would let me get a 5th ganger with 20 credits of weapons, so another autogun or two autopistols. Or I can keep the strip kit and get a juve with 2 autopistols. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 17:45 on May 24, 2018 |

Blue tape works, you just gotta make sure the undercoat has had a solid time to dry. You could also reduce a little bit of tack by putting the tape on your shirt first a few times. If you're not airbrushing you'll have minimal seepage.

Use tape, apply base color at tape edge, then apply your stripe color. This will ensure that any seepage is in the base color, not the stripe color. Airbrushes can skip that step because the paint dries so fast.

Relics question: I have an army list with three detachments: a Blood Angels Battalion, a Blood Angels Vanguard, and an Astra Militarum Battalion. The warlord is a Captain in the BA Vanguard. I choose a Relic for him off the BA list. Before the battle begins, can I use the AM stratagem Imperial Commander's Armoury to buy a pick on the Militarum relics list for the AM Battalion, despite the Warlord being BA?
