We used the bank holiday to get a big silly 3k a side 2v1 game on. My Drukhari and a friends (UNPAINTED) Necrons vs another guy's Guard/Knight.

We used Open War cards and ended up with the hilarious deployment map of Guard having the middle strip, and Xenos getting to come at him from both sides. Xenos rolled a 6 to pick deployment areas, and for first turn, so it was pretty brutal for Guard getting hit from both sides.



Not pictured here is the Malcador Infernus which blew up and rolled 12 for distance and proceeded to do 4-6 mortal wounds to the whole centre field.

Is it good? It looks up my alley.

I previously only played a :filez: version of it and liked it so I thought I'd better make an honest women out of it (also the one I had kept trying to virus the VM it ran in). It's literally "What if Panzer Corps but Warhammer" so if that's your preferred flavor of jam then it'll be your jam.

Me? It's very much my jam-flavor so I'm smearing it all over my body.

Wasn't there some EU law that forced them to move to white metal?

I don't know about the EU, but in America lead was banned in use for a ton of things after a groundwater survey turned up Too Much Lead in the water table.

IIRC, the sampled area was an apartment building built over an old national guard shooting range, and the military couldn't be bothered to properly decontaminate before selling the land. Whoops!

I put together 6 eldar war walkers and magnetized all the weapon options with a majority of the from white metal. I used a palm drill to pin and make the holes for the magnets.

This was about 4 years ago and my fingers still hurt.

My favorite part about finecast is carving out all of the details on the model that have been filled in with resin triangles

No wait, it's packing the model in a transport case and finding that it has been bent out of shape by the foam it was pressed up against.

The only Sister who has fallen in canon is Miriael Sabathiel, who fell to Slaanesh:



Which is sadly predictable; apparently old GW thought women = sex, thus Slaanesh. Personally I prefer the Khorne idea.

MUH RED RAEG their khronate lolololo *insert rape link*

She didn't fall by temptation or whatever, but chose to follow Slaanesh for reasons I do not recall. I think a feeling of betrayal by the Emperor?

E: My favorite Finecast moment was playing Necrons and wanting characters and having only one be in even remotely acceptable shape after cleaning up like seven different ones. I'm not brave enough to open up the Blanche Sister of Battle to check.

Seriously though, I can't get over that RPG crossbow.

Orlocks are going to be my main gang, I have plans for a GSC gang and possibly Escher if I can ever get around to them, but Cawdor have shot up the list too. I always liked the Redemptionists in old Necromunda because of how loving nuts they were, and these new models do a good job of really capturing that.

Some more details from someone at the Expo:

"There will be models to go with the orks and that they would no longer be an awful army"
"Watch for Killteam on the community site in 2-3 weeks *nudgenudgewinkwink* and that the rogue trader stuff we have seen will be a part of kill team"
