Did you see the paragraph where I made a distinction between "Temporarily Unavailable" store listings and "No Longer Available" store listings? (I will give you that a far more likely explanation is someone running the store chose the wrong option to list the withdrawn units under because it's not that important.)

If they do adjust bikes hopefully they're just bot packed and priced to terribly, at minimum I just want the champ to have a special weapon and a combi plasma.

I remember that they have done no longer available on some kits before, sometimes when they rebox they get a new stock number.

They frequently list things as "No Longer Available" during repackagings or between reprintings. It's certainly suspect, but not in any way definitive.

Stephenls posted:Did you see the paragraph where I made a distinction between "Temporarily Unavailable" store listings and "No Longer Available" store listings? You're right that product that GW was selling will no longer be available. But from GW's perspective, the product is the box, the Chaos Rhino sprues, the decals, the instructions and all the cards inside the box. So while the old product is gone, the odds are high that the Chaos Rhino sprues will be back as part of a new product, with the same decals, with the same instructions, probably with the same box - all that will change are the cards inside.

It’s also still available on the UK store. Theorycrafting impending releases based on the slightly wonky website is not the best idea. Stuff disappears from listings all the time and then re-appears.

Hadn’t realized the Forgefiend was that new. Further evidence that I am wrong: the old CSMs, which are definitely entirely going away, aren’t listed in the store with “No longer available;” they’re just entirely gone.

They should get a points drop to go with the loss of the tactics but I welcome anything that helps make Chaos armies more Marine-centric. And I say this as somebody who is starting up a Death Guard army in earnest.

Cultists should never have had the heretic Astartes keyword at all. But they're massively overcosted at 5ppm if they lose tactics and access to stratagems. Hopefully regular CSM improve somehow to make up for it.

AoS seems to have no problem making Armies generic troop be useful and something you want to field. I don't understand why 40k is so bad it. Best way to play CSM or DG shouldn't involve taking zero marines.

The no longer available CSM Bikers got me thinking Space Marine Bikers were the single first box of miniatures I ever bought. I always hated how they never got love outside of the gothic rear end in a top hat ravenwing. Lately I've been worrying they're going to stop making them, is this crazy of me to think? GW constantly moves away from the campy fun of the Rogue Trader era and I feel like Bikes are a relic that are destined for the grimdark chopping block. But then again they'd either have to drastically change whole chapters like the White Scars or just stop talking about them all together.

Mugaaz posted:I'm not an expert at 40k, but every DG list I've played I've found the plague marines to be the worst part of my army. They hit like pillows for their points, even 5 man squads with double plasma were barely mediocre. I really wish they would make MEQ units actually be good. They are atrocious. I bring a squad because of I like the flavour and it feels awful to have such a small amount of shooting in my army without a squad. If I was going Full Try Hard, I'd probably bring a couple Plague Brethren squads at most. My play group mostly plays Cities of Death, where most game types are 6 objectives, so they usually do fine at just holding one until some Hellblasters sneeze at them.

PinheadSlim posted:The no longer available CSM Bikers got me thinking Are you sure about this? If anything, GW seems to be going more back to the campiness of RT with the current soft reset of the setting. There's Kill Team: Rogue Trader, Blackstone Fortress and its addons, the upcoming Combat Arena, and more I'm likely forgetting. The last year has been a deluge of weird, one-off models and box sets that highlight the non-grimdark aspects of the setting in favor of expanding on the weird scifi that's been relegated to fluff in rules books for the past two decades.

Played in my first Tournament this weekend (which, actually, were also my first 2k point games...) running 180 Boyz plus Ghaz and support. Went 2-1, which I feel great about, and I learned a s**tton during. Definitely changing my list up to cover the weaknesses I found. For competitive events, how prevalent are Movement Trays and the GW Dice Roller? I think I need to lean into those a lot more with this kind of list,. provided they're Kosher. Also at what level lam I going to be expected to have my guys painted? Not looking forward to going through 187 minis...

I haven't played a game for a long time but I've been collecting the odd box of new cool things. If I wanted to jam my chaos marines into a list (without cultists, I'm beyond giving a gently caress about painting or paying for hordes of models) would I be boned from the start? I'd basically have some DG (basically one of each new unit/model), TS (once again, one of most of the new models without) and I'm going to grab some of the new black legion/csm models. Don't have the primarchs because of cost and effort. I could always throw in the plaguebearers from the dark imperium box for bodies, but I would like to just throw down some elite evil dudes on the table for fun. Just don't want the fun to end on turn one when I discover that I am not even within the super casual meta. Very roughly I'd probably rhino them up and take a daemon price, some kind of tank and a named character. Just stuff I feel like painting and seeing on the table. e: idk if this is too vague but tldr: basically will chaos meqs stand up to being on their own with more traditional support like rhinos? I've never played with these chaos models and just collect them for fun. JBP fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Mar 19, 2019 |
