I said come in! posted:I'll have to figure out the game night for Mox Bellevue. I live in the Renton area, so Mox Ballard is horrible to get to, especially on a weekday. Looks like Sunday evenings - but all these stores have faceboook pages and discords to schedule games on and you can usually get games in on other days, at least at the two Moxes, since they each have 4 dedicated wargaming only tables + stuff to set up more.

Thank you, I finally found their schedule. I'll stop making GBS threads up the thread now! I am going from "I only want to paint  " to being excited about finally wanting to play actual games of WH40K.

They have a pretty solid mix of competitiveness. They also have been running one ITC tournament every other month and I think they are aiming for monthly. Avoid the Game Matrix and any tournament there or in the Olympia area (PlayLive and Olympic Cards and Comics). OCC is a great store but the local TO is poo poo.

If I just say "hey i'm brand new, looking to learn how to play Kill Team / 40K" people are usually pretty friendly and willing to teach, I take it? Besides my figures, is there anything else I should bring with me? I want to make sure to follow any  .

Funny you should ask; I'm working on a base for my redemptor dread right now.  Kinda crappy now, but I think it'll look all right once I get the mud effects on it. I also have some barbed wire that'll be stretched behind the terminator.

Has anyone done anything similar and has any recommendations? Drill 3 holes underneath around the perimeter and put 3-4 neodymium magnets in it- just set ones thin enough not to stick out there too off the base. You obviously would need to paint the base of course.

Does anyone who has a Chaos Land Raider know where the combi melta is on the sprue? I can see the flamer and two bolters (that don’t look like they do in the instructions) and I’m slowly going mad.

Thanks for the feedback guys! My big hobby goal for 2020 is to finish my Death Guard I started a couple years ago when I got back into the hobby, which won't be too hard. I have a few tanks and one offs here and there to do. Plus I'm going back and fixing bases of stuff I started two years ago like Typhus and the Plague Surgeon. Now I realize how good it looks to hit that Armageddon Dust with Aggrax Earthshade after the fact!  Behold my basing brushes and despair.

Has anyone done anything similar and has any recommendations? An update to my previous post, when I got home I was curious and using a neodymium magnet, you can put a single one in the center by drilling it out from the bottom juuuuussst enough that the magnet sits flush, and to where the stem can be glued through the top with enough left to be inserted. My only advice is to take your time with it and don’t drill too far in.

I'm excited to see Sisters of Battle up for pre-order, but I don't know if I should order the whole $225 set or stick to something smaller. A couple of weeks ago, I went to get Tech Priest Grombidal, and I also ended up buying a Rhino as well. The Triumph of Saint Katherine looks really cool, but it also seems like it'd be difficult to paint. Is there a difference between the Battle Sisters Squad, and the Dominions & Celestians set?

I think the squad is your basic infantry like Ork Boyz the other two get stronger weaponry, not sure if they have different numbers of models though. Edit: just looked at the GW page and realised they’re doing the “can also be built as” thing with them, unfortunately I don’t have any experience with models like that, might just be what set of building instructions you get that changes.

Week 2, unit 2...I foresee this pace slowing soon as next is an impulsor Was going to go back and re-highlight and touch up, and thought about it...they are troops, the point of this is to get an army painted and done, do I really need to obsess on the details?

Well, I ended up just ordering the Battle Sister Squad and Canoness Veridyan. I wanted to get the Triumph of Saint Katherine, but I don't think I want to tackle something that elaborate yet, and I'm sure it's not going to go out of print anytime soon.

I played my first two games of 40K today at my FLGS, Heroes and Villains in Tucson. It's taken me a long time to get to this point, but I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I only got one picture that didn't look like crap. Hopefully I can do better in the future. I'm going to give a quick set-up and some narrative, and see how that goes. Game setup: The first two weeks are about getting people used to the basics of playing their units. No one counts as battleforged, so no ork kulturs, space marine chapter tactics or doctrines, etc. No real missions at this point, just kill all the other guys. My units: Gravis Captain and five intercessors, all from the Dark Imperium box.   The shop is fairly loose on WYSIWYG, especially while everyone's learning the game and their armies. The intercessors were played mostly as-is, except that my sergeant had a power sword. When we start playing with battleforged rules, I'll play them as stalker bolt rifles. My Narrative: Strange signals have emanated from the Imperium world Herosand V. These signals have attracted the attention of the forces of Chaos, Tau, and Eldar. As these enemies landed on the ill-defended planet, long-dead mechanisms came to life, and a host of necrons rose to the surface! The Imperium responded swiftly, sending in units from all of its forces, whether Space Marines or Sisters of Battle, Astra Militarum or Adeptus Mechanicus. Unfortunately, this increase in forces has attracted the attention of Tyrannids (seeking biomass) and Orks (seeking a good krumpin'). With all of these forces battling for supremacy, who will win? Match 1: Salamanders Their Forces: Ten intercessors with autobolt rifles. quote:Having landed on the same part of the planet as several other units of Space Marines, Captain Incusator needed to discuss the priorities of deployment. Discussions broke down when several other chapters wanted to take the same areas he did. The Salamanders believed that there were Dark Eldar in the area, and called priority against their ancient enemies. The small battlefield had three pieces of terrain; two LOS-blocking bits and some ruins in the middle. My opponent brought ten intercessors with auto-bolters. He split the squad into two with Combat Squads, and placed them towards the front so he could get into cover as quickly as possible. He got the better of things the first few rounds, as I had to foot-slog after his boys. The greater volume of fire from his auto-bolters gave him a distinct advantage. However, it turned around once my Captain got into melee. The grav captain smashes face, plain to say. He would have smashed even more face if I'd remembered to use the extra attack I got from Shock Assault, but with some fire support from my intercessors, he took down the first squad pretty quickly, taking only a few wounds in the process. The second squad stayed hunkered down in the ruins. They shot, and were able to get another couple of wounds. This was probably a mistake, however, since I was able to get close in and pin him with my grav captain, and then toss my intercessors into combat with him.  Pictured: Face-smashing in action. I did lose one of my intercessors to overwatch, but then my volume of attacks took out the rest of his squad. Match 2: Grey Knights Their Forces: Five Grey Knight Terminators. quote:Having bested the Salamanders (with their bolt rifles set to stun, naturally), Captain Incusator was next challenged by a squad of Grey Knights. Unfortunately, no pictures of this one. This time, there were three pieces of LOS-blocking terrain, one in each deployment zone, one in the middle of the map. This one I probably should have lost, to be honest. The grey knights had vortex of doom, and the only reason it didn't rip me up more was that I had made the (tactically questionable) decision to split up my intercessors and captain, getting him up close with the idea of them giving fire support until he had them tied up. As it was, he took several mortal wounds from Vortex, and then got smacked up pretty good. Luckily, he was able to take two of them out in melee, before my intercessor squad was able to get in and clean things up. However, this honestly was only possible because the other player was rolling like crap. His shooting was better, his melee was better, and he had a psychic phase. My only advantage was having more Wounds for him to eat through. Not being battleforged hurt me a lot more than it hurt him. Luckily for me, I don't think he got above a two in his last two rounds. Thanks to that, I was able to take him out with three intercessors remaining. quote:Though he was shaken up by the Grey Knights' Diet Smite and larp weapons, Captain Incusator's men were able to hold the day. Now assured of their battlefield of choice, they were poised to show the power and strength of pure iron will to all who fought on Herosand V! Next week will be more of the same, and I'll try to get more pictures this time. Week after that, we move up to 400 points, and everyone will count as battleforged.

Kind of like Marines have models that can be tac squads, veterans, etc... Besides, Dominions only get the pre-game move, after that they function just like a Battle Sister squad. Then Celestians are supposed to have a gold fluer de lis on their helmets to differentiate.
