that article kicks rear end, but i am not looking to play competitively and don't wanna drop hundreds on forge world dreadnoughts.* i think i might pick up that blightlords kt box at my lgs cuz it's 4 bucks extra for some good scatter terrain and missions. that way i'll have 2 blightie squads for higher point games. after that, my next purchase will likely be a second plagueburst, or i might see about loving around and cobbling together a daemon prince. thanks for the advice everyone, i love it *i really do want to drop hundreds on fw dreads but i kinda can't afford to right now

I'm actually starting to get to the point where I can start looking into another army now that my orks are getting into a playable state. Once I hit 2000 points painted and 90 boyz, I'll probably get to work on that. Based on the models I currently have, I'll probably go with either Death Guard, Space Wolves, or Blood Angels. Death Guard and Space Wolves from having stuff I bought to paint, Blood Angels because a co-worker gifted me her army about six or seven years ago and I recently unboxed it from storage.

Are undersized squads still legal, and what's the official ruling on them? I can't find it anywhere lmao

Units have formation rules, ie a minimum size unit is this large and costs this much, and you can keep adding models until it reaches maximum size, increasing the cost. Its in their datacards.

In GW's continued insistence on putting rules all over the place, it's actually in Chapter Approved, Page 47 So in essence you're paying a CP to have an understrength unit. Can't imagine when you'd want to do that but I know it was implemented because at launch people were trying to go around the rules by making squads of 1 guardsman to fill brigades up. Edit: Also in the core rulebook FAQ, page 2: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/warhammer_40000_rulebook_en.pdf quote:Page 242 – Understrength Units RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Oct 22, 2019 |

Groetgaffel posted:I can't imagine the new exorcist looking much different. Apart from Repentia being dressed more conservatively, it looks like there no longer an option for the robed lady on the Penitent Engine. Doing a quick search, it saw a few off-hand comments that you'd still have an option between the two characters, but I can't find anything concrete. I did actually ponder buying some of the old-school Repentia and Penitent Engine before they got removed, but then I realized that would mean working with metal models, and that sounds like a headache. Ah, well. There's still eBay and third-party bit & model sellers - The reason why I was worried about the Exorcist was because I recall seeing a version that didn't have the pipe organ, but instead just a boring, old regular missile launcher. I don't know if that was an alternative option that came with the old kit, or if it was something custom-ordered, but it made me skeptical. I thought there would be a Battle Sister Bulletin on it today, but nothing was posted. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Oct 22, 2019 |

The full kit, when it becomes available, will have pilot options, including a female one. The exorcist you're thinking of is most likely the fairly common kitbash of putting a whirlwind launcher on a sisters rhino to not have to deal with the almost always warped huge block of pewter that is the pipe organ. Also FW had an exorcist variant with two round rocket pods.

The FW one you describe sounds sort of like what I saw. It could have been a Whirlwind launcher kitbash though. Didn't occur to me that it was done to avoid messing with the pewter, but that makes sense (I've not worked with metal models before, I'm hoping I don't have to anytime soon).

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I couldn't find a mention on the Warhammer Community site, unless I just completely skimmed over it. One complaint I have heard about the new Penitent Engine is that it looks more akin to a Killa Kan or a Deff Dread than it does the old version, in regards to its arms or general build.

Which is actually fairly ideal, in that the male pilot in the easy-to-build variant in the Sisters box is probably going to look different from the male pilot in the multipose kit (I mean, I imagine it would), and then there'll be a female pilot in the multipose kit, so there's your three variant pilots for the three engines you can field, if you want to field three.

Sharks Dont Sleep posted:I have no idea but my understanding was that that rules exists so if a player just doesn’t have the models they can still wiggle in and play. Yeah its more of a concession than anything. Sometimes people get an uneven grab bag of models in a flea market or something and this is supposed to give them a way to use those. But when it was introduced it was quickly exploited to fill out cheap brigades so they had to keep errata-ing it until it was a waste of time. GW probably even forgot its a thing by now.

It has the crippling disadvantage of not being a giant baroque pipe organ. It's OOP as far as I am aware, and while cheap recasts pop up on ebay pretty often the quality is such that you'd probably be better off converting a whirlwind

As for the design of the new one, I'm not passing final judgment until I see a 360 view. GW is remarkably consistent about always photographing new models from terrible angles.

No amount of futzing around should stop you making a metal organ exorcist. It is the finest model ever conceived and exists only for the worthy to own and admire.

Somebody leaked pictures of the Sisters box contents; KiriothTV made a video about it. Not sure if the original leaked pics are still around anymore. But it's clearly one full-sized sprue and two duplicate half-sized sprues of easy-to-build monopose Sisters of Battle, like the Vanguard half of Shadowspear (plus a separate character sprue for the Canoness). The video doesn't have a closeup of the large sprue, so it's possible the Penitent Engine in the box is the multipose Penitent Engine to be sold later and the monopose stuff is just the Sisters.

Cricken_Nigfops posted:so...related question, does that mean that the vanguard marines that were just released are NOT just the vanguard sprues from shadowspear? As in; they're totally new? Yeah Shadowspear stuff was monopose and had other units on the same sprue, while the new one is multipose and can build an alternate unit type. There's a rumour that the two halves of the Shadowspear box will be soon released as separate Start Collecting: Vanguard / Daemonkin boxes. It would make sense as there's still a bunch of options & units in them that aren't yet available as multipose.

Cricken_Nigfops posted:OH good to know, thank you, you saved me moneys! Note that the Start Collecting Vanguard box, if it exists, will probably not contain the Vanguard Captain or Librarian, as a) those are being sold separately, b) Start Collecting boxes typically only come with one HQ unit, and c) the monopose Shadowspear sprues incorporate a Vanguard Lieutenant that can serve as a SC box's HQ. On the other hand, there's no HQ incorporated into the monopose Shadowspear chaos marine sprues, and the Master of Possession is not being sold separately yet, so a hypothetical Start Collecting Chaos Space Marines box made out of the Daemonkin half of Shadowspear will have to contain a separate HQ unit which will... probably? ...be the Master of Possession (like Hvarl Icepelt from Tooth and Claw being in Start Collecting Primaris Space Wolves and not being sold on his own). Also note that if you can find a Shadowspear box at retail price it's still cheaper than two Start Collecting boxes would be, if you want both sides.

Tinfoil hat theory of the day: the fact that Suppressors weren't in the v2 codex wave of kits leads me to believe their multi-part kit will have additional weapon options, but will be held until like Q2 of next year when we get another pair of Codex supplements.
