https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/10/07/battle-sister-bulletin-part-18-arco-flagellants/ So GW went ahead and just revealed what the leak had mentioned with the latest bulletin.  Also the new Flagellants look sick nasty.  Also the new Repentia Superior looks a lot better too.

Scourge- $30 Hellion- $30 Venom- $35 Incubi- $41 Falcon- $55 Vyper- $35 The two characters will probably around $35 and the new Banshees will probably be around $50 So around $320 or so for everything separately?

(Looks like the sprues have five big klaives, two smaller klaives, and one demiklaive, so it looks like you'll be able to pose the klaivex with the demiklaive broken in half and dual-wielded.)

I've bought most of the 40K models that I own from "rule of cool" point of view; Adeptus Mechanicus, Imperial Knights, Blackstone Fortress, the special edition commissar and canoness, and now the KT: Rogue Trader box - and I've also got my eyes on a box of Sisters of Silence. All really cool models, but from a hodge-podge of factions. It makes me wish there were some sort of rules for creating your own rogue trader or inquisitor and retinue, a là the old Inquisitor game  Are there any good narrative missions for Kill Team out there, which are suited for that sort of play?

I pretty much only roll with rule of cool these days. Speaking of which, finished a bunch of stuff this weekend. A pair of Raven Guard Reivers.  Your mission is to infiltrate the fortress Galuade, rescue the hostages and neutralize Metal Gear before its assembly is complete. And the Phobos Lieutenant from the Shadowspear box.  Two out of three are done following the painting guide on Goonhammer while the other one was based on the confused suggestions on the Citadel app. Somehow the first one ended up looking like a geriatric Solid Snake after I had painted up the head. Should've gone with the Stormcast head I had in the first place I think. Also making a greenstuff bandana was hellish. But mostly due to inexperience with sculpting. Still, one of the better suggestions how to paint pale skin so it's on my list for the future. Now I just need to get one an ETB reiver box to fill out that team.

Idk how they play now but basically you've got absolute torrents of bolter fire and other mid/close range, dedicated berserk melee units, many opportunities for a mini psychic power via acts of faith and good armour. I wonder how they go in 8th considering that power armour isn't so great any more and they're a T3 stand and deliver close range army.

Super crazy question, but on a scale of 1-10 how viable would an "elite" all Scion (maybe with some Ogryns and what not but like 70 % Scions) Astra Militarum list be? With Las cannon Valkyries or maybe leman Russes to pop any armor I come across.

To be fair, the main inspiration for buying more marines was a neat Primaris Azrael conversion posted in here a few months ago. I'm now well underway with my own version, so maybe the urge to field him will get me through the 10 Hellblasters also sitting on my desk.

Guard are built around having lots of units that can take objectives, and a lot of long range heavy hitting armour. Scion lists have neither, and just don't hit hard enough to have units that cost basically what Marines do. This will almost certainly change when you can 'build your own' regiments when their psychic awakening book drops.

I hope they pump her up if that's the case. I'm going to play a game against iron hands tonight and get hosed up but I've also mapped out a very tricky strategy which relies on so many moving parts that it can not fail. Was really happy with my last game. Would have beaten this dude's Custodes and deathwatch if not for some poor luck and a couple of bad choices. I'm enjoying playing 40k with some frequency, it's fun.

Black Templar over metal owns bones. Currently working on a Redemptor Executioner, and I'm using an acrylic pen to edge highlight most of the edges. Is that considered cheating?

The primaris stuff has lots of clean edges though, so you could give the edge of a brush a go and see if it works for you. I usually hate edge highlighting but it was fun doing my executioner.

I made it a personal goal to paint all the remaining models in my sisters army before the new models are released so I can go all in on the new ones without any guilt for ignoring the old models I've hoarded for... a literal decade. I've got 2 vehicles and about 24 infantry to go. I might actually make this.RestRoomLiterature- posted:Never seen a sisters army in person, how do they play? You know what, going to wait for that goonhammer article. I can tell you how I play 'em, but I am not a competitive player. I usually run a 3 exorcist castle, stack the shield of faith warlord trait and Celestine to get a 4++ bubble on some strategic point. Celestine did eat a big nerf, but she's still very good defensively, and a decent counter-charge. The nerf was basically four-fold: 1) she can no longer double jump for a 24" move but that was kind of bullshit anyway 2) she comes back to life in the same spot, not anywhere on the board 3) if she's your warlord she has to take a lovely trait 4) The gemini bodyguard no longer being in her same unit makes them much easier to kill and stay dead The +1 to hit act of faith plus vessel of the emperor's will on the 3 exorcists is a pretty decent alpha strike. Everything else goes up the board more aggressively, usually in transports. Immolators are good against anyone stacking minus to hit people are often more afraid of the overwatch than they statistically should be. Repressors still have fire ports, so load them up with melta. The blessed bolts strategem converts storm bolters into poor man's plasma, and would be a mainstay if I had more storm bolter models. Between repressors allowing dominions a vanguard move and shooting protection, and immolators being able to always advance and fire, the parts of the army that aren't castled are pretty mobile, so that's my general strategy: mini-castle, and send everyone else to get up in the enemy's face. Acts of faith give you all the exciting action of spending command points, and sometimes even do something. The other common build I see posted online is to use the order of the bloody rose to get the +1A +1S and stack that with preachers and the fight twice AoF to crap out a very high number of attacks but I haven't tried that yet as I am a big dumb idiot at playing melee armies.

I'm also wanting to make a Scion army to complement my steel legion, so I'm hoping they get a lot better with psychic awakening rules. We'll just have to wait and see.

I've always thought that there had to be a way to make the Tempestus Drop Force out of Vigilus Defiant work, but as I only own the one Valkyrie I was never able to make them more than a brief distraction. I've always wondered if three Vals full of Scions would work....

The Tempestus Drop Force is a very Imperium-worthy version of the sniper rifle: requiring entirely too many moving parts and the willing sacrifice of no fewer than 12+<crew> lives to carry out. Use it to put scary guns ~2" away from a troublesome character or vehicle despite the vocal objections of your opponent, issues some orders to reroll 1s to wound, and then the Drop Force warlord trait or relic (I forget which one it is) for the +1 to hit within 6" of the user and suddenly you have ~18 plasma shots (or 8 melta and a couple plasma pistols) hitting on 2s that can't explode and wounding on probably 2s rerolling for 2 damage each. It's a very large and unwieldy scalpel. Built Imperium Tough(tm).

3 manticores costs about the same, can't get shot at, and gets to deliver that payload every turn. It's like an indirect-fire sniper missile

How do you beat Custodes lol Actually I don't think I did much wrong. I failed 5 charges of 4-6 inches in a row including a ravens blade and rerolling a 2 into a 1 and he saved one shield man with a wound 13 times in one turn. Game sucked anyway.

Extra points for style if your Valkyrie passengers is 2 full plasma command squads, a tempestor prime with command rod, and that new psyker with the +1 to hit power. Ends up ~23 plasma hits. And you still have 2 spare seats if you want another auxilia or whatever.
