These will look pale in comparison to the GT pics, but I snapped a few at an apocalypse game we had today. There was around 10,000 pts per side and it ended up Imperium vs Tau. The force I brought.  Close up of the knights I finished literally last (k)night.  Deployment:  After turn 1 shooting.  Celestine debating if taking on a Tau'nar is a good idea.  All in all I think everyone had fun. Except one Tau player that got crazy upset when my Valiant exploded upon death and took out 9 stealth suits, 3 crisis suits, and god knows how many drones.

My Fire Warrior fireteam in the local Kill Team campaign leveled up today, and rolled Die Hard on the advance chart. -1 to injury rolls seems... good.  Put them in cover and against shooting the only way to take them off the board is with a 6.

I had a free hour today so I spent 45 minutes helping my buddy make bases for his fire warriors. It was shockingly fun and relaxing. Dry brushing dirt, applying static grass, etc. JIZZ DENOUEMENT fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Nov 11, 2018 |

I don't think the bonuses are balanced at all. My Dire Avengers got loving FLEET. Which is just, what the loving christ. Iirc the bonuses are: 1 inch more movement Reroll 1s when making an armor save. Reroll 1s when rolling to hit when fighting OR shooting. Reroll 1s when rolling to wound when fighting OR shooting. Reroll failed nerve tests. -1 to Injury Rolls Chucat fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Nov 11, 2018 |

Not painted in a while due to moving house and new job, so feels good to get back to this project. Not my best work but a tabletop worthy army is taking shape. Now if they could just go ahead and fix Necron points values in CA18 that'd be great!

In a game with as many objective based win conditions as Kill Team, I'd take an extra inch of movement any day of the week. Alternately: sack and replace your fireteam with a new one to not pay the extra point and hope for a better roll next time.

Yeast posted:Yeah you didn't buy 40 extra paints 'just in case' Schadenboner posted:You forgot the Cain omnibus? Actually, that reminds me, I don't know if it got previously mentioned, but there's a Black Library Audiobook Humble Bundle on right now, which includes a Ciaphas Cain story (also other stuff, but let's focus on what's important, here). Also one for a bunch of the video games. I have assembled my Kill-Team! It stands at 6 men. Why 6? Becauses I had doubles for my two Space Marine Heroes, and since they're roughly the same scale, I decided to initiate the double into the Deathwatch! It was the guy reloading (complete with empty clip/magazine on the base), so giving him the Stalker Bolter arms was a no-brainer. And I was able to give him a Beakie helmet (from a Devastator sprue, so it has extra sights) too! Looking at the shoulder pads on the Deathwatch sprues, I decided to take a look on the Wikis (both Lexicanum and the other one) to see if I could find some alternative lesser-known chapters to diversify my forces, which I present for the threads' approval: Yvonmukluk's Deathwatch Chapters Approved: The originally intended chapter pad from the sprue is listed in bold, while the alternatives are listed underneath with a link to a wiki. I've only listed ones with actual alternatives I found. Obviously in some cases it's down to your own judgement if they fit. Black Templars Hospitallers Brazen Claws Crimson Talons Dark Angels Angels Redeemed Howling Griffons Griffon Lords Knights of Gryphonne Mentors Emperor's Storm Liberators Necropolis Hawks (Primaris Only) Storm Hawks* Warrior Adepts Minotaurs Brazen Minotaurs Taurans White Minotaurs Novamarines Metamarines Raven Guard Hawk Lords Knights of the Raven Rift Stalkers (Primaris only) Space Wolves Red Wolves Shadow Wolves And here's a few from the old Space Marine Decal Sheet: Dark Eagles Knights of Dorn Nemesis Angels Penitent* Doom Legion* *Needs some freehand detailing.

Thanks for this, I've been avoiding certain chapter pads because I'm not a fan of their color scheme, but I still want variety and fluff. And I'm lazy so this is perfect

I still have a standing offer of $10 to the charity of your choice for the first person to post one of their death watch with one of my shoulder pads for my custom chapter. I keep waffling between sicaran venator and Leviathan dread with the autocannons. Before you say it no I'm not going to paint both let alone buy both.

All the cool iconography of Raven Guard without having to paint white! Silver would go well with the silver Deathwatch pad on the left side, and the current 8e Chapter Tactic for Raven Guard rewards staying at long range which fits well for a Stalker specialist.

Well, which do you need more, anti-infantry and light vehicles or anti-tank? I think the leviathan is overall a better vehicle, but the venator is decent and fun to use. I love both models (but I have 3 leviathans and only 1 sicaran venator).

With Kill Team, is the idea that you paint up 20 models and then select from them to decide your force after knowing your opponent? If so, what should I paint if I want to do Primaris and Scouts?

Which CSM legion is most identified with Dark Mechanicus (if any)? Closest I can come would be Iron Warriors but that may only be based on the name similarity with the Iron Hands, since the IWs are really more "spiky IFs" not "spiky IHs"?

Duct Tape posted:You build a "roster" of up to 20 models with no restrictions on points or wargear. You get to see your opponent's roster and what mission you mission you're playing before you choose your 100pts "kill team." Your kill team is subject to the restrictions on wargears, model count limits, etc. I believe both you and your opponent simultaneously reveal which models your kill teams are composed of. You don't get to see your opponent's roster, you just tell each other your faction keyword.

bonds0097 posted:You don't get to see your opponent's roster, you just tell each other your faction keyword. Indeed. Some factions have obvious enough archetypes that you can make an educated guess on what to field. Tyranids and wanting to bring as much multi-damage as possible, any variety of Marine or Deathwatch you want high AP and some mortal wounds if you can get them, Guard and T'au and you know you want to bring massed S4 guns with low-middle AP so you're not wasting anything against drones and a poor armor save to begin with, etc.

Nobody finds that amusing, your endless theorycrafting is just extremely grating because its not even like you're thinking up your dream army that you'd make if you could afford it, literally every time you say something you seem to have a different half-baked idea to the point that even if you did have money you wouldn't be able to attempt any of them.

Duct Tape posted:Good to know about faction keyword vs roster thing. I really need to get more games under my belt. The FLGS here (and friendly goon TIMEWIZARD) is running a campaign. We're in Week 2 of 12, it's been pretty fun! Observations through 3 games: - Markerlights are loving garbage and not worth using unless you're willing to spend Command Points and you opponent didn't ready many/any models. - Stealth Suits are surprisingly good straight-up in melee, especially Shas'vres. Turns out that three attacks is still going to roll more hits on 5+ than one attack on 3+. - Fire Warriors put in some loving work with a 4+ save if they're in cover. You'll take a lot of flesh-wounds, but every flesh wound you take is a model that is not out of action, and a model that's still shooting. - Pathfinders at 6 points are almost cheating with Assault 2 18" S5 guns. First turn you can pretty much advance with impunity because the penalty for advancing + shooting at long range + obscured models + whatever else is still only ever going to be 6+s. - Don't forget Photon Grenades, they matter a lot. - Don't forget Pulse Pistols on Fire Warriors. Getting stuck in combat can end up being a very bad thing for your opponent, because that pistol is still S5 and suddenly that model is very hard to remove in the shooting phase before it gets to fire.
