That's because "Tacitus" totally is somebody's name. "Tacticus" on the other hand, is the mark of armor.

I spent 3 hours going around Melbourne trying to find somewhere that had a copy of the IG Codex. I've spent hours theorycrafting the start of a Napoleonic style army and have more questions: If I have Master of Command, Relic: The Laurels of Command, Warlord, can I do 2 commands a turn within 6 inches, an another one on a 4+, or if I do 2 commands, is it two more rolls to get another two? So if I get all them off, I only have 8 command points to use anyway, which probably means I should choose something else? Can I put the infantry and cav on square and rectangle bases, or is that banned these days? Mordian seem to assume you do mount them, even if the cav can't use the bonus, now that templates don't exist. Would you have more anti-tank in a 500 point game? I can't imagine too many armies having more than 1-2, though from past experience way back when I played, having 3 lascannons just means 2 miss and 1 fails to If I have a Warlord Company Commander, Lord Commissar and Regimental Standard within 6 inches of a infantry unit of leadership 7, what is it's actual leadership stat? Is it better to make the Lord Commissar the Warlord? Why does Battlescribe say "+ No Force Org Slot +". What do you mean I don't have a Force Org Slot? Huh? Didn't I choose a Battalion Detachment? I intend to buy most of these figures from 3rd parties (maybe Victorian Miniatures with the slouch hats for a musketeer look, or Anvil industry's Belgic Shakos). Does anyone else do tall hats? Not Bearskins, that's for the Grenadiers Elite troops, not line companies). I am irritated that infantry Sergeant's can't get a free lasgun, and I can't fit in one more point to have all 3 squads have the same weapon of a bolter instead. I keep tossing up to have a plasma gun with the Rough Riders, a Melta Gun or neither because half the time they'll miss anyway. Anyways, how is this for a 500 point army to start off with? +++ IG 500pt Battalion Detachment (Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition) [30 PL, 3CP, 500pts] +++ ++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) ++ + No Force Org Slot + Huh?? Battle-forged CP Regimental Doctrine: Regiment: Mordian + HQ + Lord Commisariat - Lord Commissar: Plasma pistol, Power fist Major Stanley - Company Commander: Chainsword, Laspistol, Master of Command, Relic: The Laurels of Command, Warlord + Troops + 1st Line Company (Red) - Infantry Squad . . 8x Guardsman . .

I'm retooling my planned purchases a bit - the Neophytes are painted and I'm starting on my ridgerunner, but I'm debating where to go next. I know I want a chonky unit of bikes, but I don't know if I should include them in the primary detachment or slap them in the secondary fast attack one with the ridgerunners an a jackal with Rusted Claw instead of Twisted Helix

If you have the other models, you're almost certainly better off using those FA slots to fill out a Brigade for 12CP. It's ridiculously easy to do with GSC as every slot has really cheap options. Out of curiosity I've just made a Battlescribe list with everything I own already plus the new units ordered at the weekend, and it comfortably fills a Brigade and Battalion for barely over 2k pts.

Why not use the ridge runner try to make a Brigade and run the Rusted Claw as an all-biker unit? (Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that bikes offensive!) GSC seem really CP-intensive so you want to go for the big One-Two. E: Goddamnit, I need to refresh my tabs more often. What xtothez said.

I said come in! posted:Beautiful! This guy is on my wishlist but I am super intimidated by the assembly part. I don't know if I can do that part. Don't worry about it. He looks super intimidating, but he's actually quite easy to sub-assemble and paint. If you use Uncle Duncan's guide, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a fantastic result. I assembled and painted my Cawl over a period of three or four afternoons, which is better than most other "simpler" models I've fooled around with.

I assembled and painted my Cawl over a period of three or four afternoons, which is better than most other "simpler" models I've fooled around with. I wish I would have watched this first. I also completely assembled him before painting. It makes it way more difficult to paint, but it also lets me use models before I'm done painting. Now that my armies are so large, I should probably start painting before I finish assembly, though.

tangy yet delightful posted:Please elaborate for those of us who don't know wtf you talkin' bout. NOVA Narrative has 20 spots for "Warlords" who take a prominent role. NOVA policy, which I don't agree with, is that older Warlords get first dibs because they have a password. If that password is shared then it means new folks don't have a chance to get in.

It’s not just Scions but I’ve run into that before. I don’t think GW inventory tracking software is very good. I’ve ordered a few times and when they arrive they’re missing one or two items and I have to call to find out the blister is on backorder and it’ll arrive a month or two later.

Is this also where Kill Team chat happens? Didn’t see a thread for it specifically. If that’s the case, I’ve been reading the rules and saw a couple games at the LGS, and I’m wanting to slap together a Tyranid team. Warriors seem really good, but I also noticed I could take 4 lictors. How terrible of a gimmick would that be? I think in reality I’m just gonna go with 2 warriors with BS/DS and a BS/VC gunner, then take just 1 lictor. I’m mostly just spitballing ideas in my head, wondering if anyone has experience with Tyranids in Kill Team.

Like any elite unit, Lictors are good at murdering things. They're not good at sitting in a corner and doing nothing so you can get points. Realistically a mix of Warriors, Lictors and little Gaunts is a pretty solid list.

I'm not usually one to get hyped about a specific paint job, but the weathered gold trim and OSL around the eye on his girdle are incredible. Look at that blue edge highlight on the inside of his shin greaves! Who does that! My hands and eyes hurt just thinking about trying to get that thin of a line.
