JackMann posted:Question: If I took some dakkajets from Aeronatica Imperialis, would they be around the right size for counts-as deffkoptas? I have some ideas involving either remote controls, grots strapped on, or both. Comparing my friends AI planes and my memory of the old AoBR kopta, they are nowhere near the same scale, the AI planes are far smaller.

I kind of wish it included the idiot twins of smash captaining in two Raven Guard dudes using master of ambush together.

My thousand sons start collecting box and basic paints have arrived and: OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD! How do I put them together? How do I paint them? Why did I get a knife and not a pair of snips? Can I even use this handle thingy? Ahhhhh

I like the Diet Smite article; is there a chance we get one for Chaos (with bonus comparison to just casting more smite with 1KS at WC5)?

So I may have either just encountered a cheater, or raven guard just suck. Is there a way for raven guards ex tenebris to ignore line of site, fire multiple shots that are damage 4

You can give a RG Phobos Captain the relic ammo Korvidari Bolts and the Marksman's Honors warlord trait for a no-LOS D4 shot with his MC instigator bolt carbine. Ex Tenebris is Damage 2 and I can't think of a way to give it D4 or blind fire.

looking at Wrack and Ruin and Chasm you'd have thought they'd finally worked out how to design offensive psychic powers but that came out the same week as the pyromancy discipline.

Pyromancy is no slouch. Fire Shield and Drakeskin are solid. Flaming Blast and Fury of Nocturne are decent given that you can target something that's not the closest.

Flaming Blast seems like a longer ranged but worse Iron Inferno though, and Fury of Nocturne suffers from the (admittedly small) chance of doing absolutely nothing. Fire Shield + Drakeskin are basically good enough the rest of the discipline might as well not exist.

This is great advice that can't be underestimated. I strongly recommend something like this. Cutters - Xuron Micro-Shear Flush Cutter - Tapered Tip 410T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IBQEEW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wWoUDbBP9Z6ZV It definitely changed building models for me.

Fingernail clippers will work in a pinch. Just expect a lot of shaving off of the nubby nubs. I still need a good pair of clippers. All the ones around here is those bigger ones that make it hard to get in between those little spaces.

I don't think they're at God Hand Nipper levels, but they're also not a hundred bucks, and they're way better than the ten dollar pair I started with when I first started buying models.

i will always recommend the tamiya 74123s. will fit almost anywhere, not as fragile as god hands, and unlike the xurons, they cut instead of smashing. kinda pricey but you'll never need anything else

Also, taking Dark Angels assault marines in 3rd was mighty brave. Dark Angels had a 1/6 chance of being forced to stand still and shoot if even a single model in the unit could shoot any enemy within 24". And there was no way to remove bolt pistols from assault marines. Which meant they had a tendency to get stuck in the worse possible spot. They would also get intractable

Space marines were immune to sweeping advances even back in 3rd, but it's perfectly possible the little guy chased them off the board.
