LingcodKilla posted:For you guys who like alternative models. https://dreamforge-games.com/products/wgf-w2003-wwii-russian-infantry-28mm Very, very strongly suggest getting this box while you all can. In total you get thirty guys and an officer for just $3.75 and the kit is pretty nicely detailed and has a lot of poses and gun options. Makes for some great guardsmen converting, and it just gives you tons and tons and tons of bits to use for general human models that aren't in power armor. The price is ridiculously low and it's probably the last time you'll be able to get it since nobody else carries it and your only source will be overpriced eBay sellers. It's such a stupidly good price that you have no reason to not buy at least one or two boxes. When I first got some for a Soviet Imperial Guard army I'm converting, they were just $8.00 a box, and even then I thought it was some ridiculous steal. Now you can get it for half of that price. Come on, get yourself some Soviets while you still can.

Then I saw $37 postage and then I thought "90 guardsmen would actually cost a fortune too, and you already have a huge guard army you fool". Thank god for that.

A mortal wound on a 1 hurts a lot less in this edition than it used to. In previous editions your precious HQ would have a small wound count and there was no way to reroll the result. Burning a CP to recover isn’t great, but if it didn’t exist it would be far worse.

Its just that the tradeoff isn't appreciably better than what the NuMarines get. Same rough effect, but with more randomness/less control-ability and an added bonus of doing wounds to yourself. Presumably its also 50% more cost resource to get it than in a marine list.... I'm just salty I spent the weekend defeating myself and my dusty boys with double 1's/6's and paying twice as many points for half the effectiveness as the NuMarine bastards I was playing against.

A relic sword with S6 minimum and an average of S7/8 plus AP-5 and D2 is... better than most relic weapons.

Considering they’ve been the face of 40k forever I’m actually kind of glad to see them around top tables again. I hadn’t lost a single serious 8th match against SM until the new ‘dex, so this new meta makes it more interesting (for me at least). That said, Tyranid update when. I doubt they’ll revamp everything in PA, considering what we’ve seen for other factions but they could surprise me.

I am surprised no one is mentioning that marines can also spend CP to make fancy versions of Chaplains, Librarians, etc. Which is also not helping with the book count thing.

Based on Phoenix Rising and the TOC from Faith and Fury I'm going to bet that Nids will get a new psychic discipline, and that each hive fleet will get relics, warlord traits, and strats. Blood Angels will also get a new discipline, Mephiston, new rules for Dante (okay that's just my wishlist), and some BA successors will get tactics, strats, and relics.

If everything you need out of a book is half a dozen paragraphs you can fit on a 3x5 notecard, you don't need to haul that book around.

Of course you can. It's even a pretty good idea...now. However, given how Marines 2.0 encouraged monofaction armies with bonuses if you play all Ultramarines, say, I think it likely we'll see similar bonuses for the other armies as the codexes get revised. So while there's no reason not to Soup Sisters and Guard together now, that may not be true this time next year.

Still, edition 8.5 with consolidated reprints would be very welcome. The only army that needs a structural reworking of design is Tau, right? Mainly just because of how much their current design slows down the game.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Still, edition 8.5 with consolidated reprints would be very welcome. They need the biggest overhaul, yeah. There’s tons of other codices that could make do with exactly the same core mechanics with just more special rules. Tau, if played competitively, are just a chore to play. I do think GW also needs to whip Forgeworld into shape and review all their model rules and special options. There’s a lot of factions that are just filled with nice models with garbage rules and others that are way overpowered. I mean, that’s fundamentally been FWs thing forever, but “new” GW should fix that and get their options more in line with expectations.

GW doesn't seem to care all that much about Forgeworld as Forgeworld and more keen on using it as Specialist Games these days. At least how I see it these days with glacial release pace and the IA books pretty much dead in the water.

If they want to let it languish and die just rule that they’re out of Matched play or something. Keeping this weird exception for models that don’t see proper support is just awkward and leads to some factions getting nothing while others get special models with overpowered rules that sound like someone’s 13-year old cousin came up with them.

T'au should have a <PATH> keyword like Chaos Marines have <MARK> and have those unlock special rules when conditions are met. One generic bonus with condition or small drawback (Kauyon: reroll 1s to hit if you didn't move), one better bonus within 6" of <PATH> HQ unit (Mont'ka: +6" range to Rapid Fire and Assault weapons when advancing), one Master of War bonus for <PATH> units within 6" of Commanders (Mont'ka: +3" to advance and charge rolls, can fire heavy weapons while advancing at -2 to hit, +1 to hit when advancing), and 5-6 <PATH> specific strats. After changing how drones work, of course, because absolutely nothing changes until that does.

They've already confirmed that the main 40k studio is now handling 40k FW rules; I understand that's where the Knight & Custodes updates came from earlier this year. Back at the August open day GW said there was a 'big announcement' coming regarding FW. Would be nice for everyone else to get the same treatment with revamped rules for all the FW index units, made available for free online.

Apparently they're dropping the Fimir army for AoS from what I've heard so I guess they're trying to restructure it somewhat.
