swampcow posted:Anyone ever try one of these out?: https://firmerterra.com/ I have one. It is fairly sturdy, but don’t go dancing on it. Really difficult to set up on hardwood floors if you’re solo due to the way it folds. It has a cover and handle so it’s fairly portable. I cover it with a game mat, there is a slight bump that you can feel (not see) where the joints are. Right now I have it out to support several of my bits boxes.

Right, I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record with this, but reading the Mortifier FAQ does solidify that it doesn't adjust attacks. You literally just get more dice to land the attacks with. Q: Assuming there are no modifiers to its Attacks characteristic, how many hit rolls are made by a Mortifier equipped with 2 penitent flails? A: 15. Mortifier having 4 attacks, +1 attack for having 2x Penitent Flails. Each attack gets 3 hit rolls. 5x3 = 15. 5 attacks. 15 chances to hit those 5 attacks. You visit a fairground, you're given 3 shots to hit 1 target. If you hit with the first shot, the other two shots become redundant. So if you have 5 targets to hit (read as: attacks) and 15 shots to hit them with, you still only have 5 targets to hit (attacks).

Please read the main rulebook assault section. You are wrong. quote:You visit a fairground, you're given 3 shots to hit 1 target. If you hit with the first shot, the other two shots become redundant.

You seem to be assuming that there's a difference between "attacks" and "more dice to land attacks with". They are the same. I really do not understand how you aren't getting this.

You literally just get more dice to land the attacks with. Your interpretation is plausible is you're going into 40k for the first time. There would be a mechanic where you have 5 attacks, and 15 rolls for those 5 attacks to land. It's just that GW has never created such a mechanic. Instead, if you have 5 attacks, and you some how take it up to 15 attack rolls, you could theoretically get 15 attacks if they all hit and wound, notwithstanding the attack characteristic. You've got a cooler idea in your head than has ever made it into the game.

Played a couple of sweet 1k games today against Chaos marines. Primaris chaplain versus dark apostle of Lorgar.  Chaos begins with the high ground and an objective advantage, but the guns of the loyalists clear them from their perch and the advance is on.  Valiant marines charge in to intercept the dismounted possessed and master.  A single marine holds the line and they're prevented from the charge next turn. He is destroyed, but his job is done and the wrath of chapter's leadership charge forward to end the mutated filth.  And finally it's on. Dark Apostle versus Master of Sanctity.   A flurry of crushing blows fell the main drive of the Word Bearers. We were both disappointed that the apostle missed an attack because he might have killed the chaplain and forced me to use 3cp to fight in death and kill the apostle, which would have been epic indeed. Really fun games. Lovely having painted dudes out on the table.

Okay, I do see where you're coming from with the ol' hit rolls. I guess it just seemed pretty nuts that a squad of 9 Arcos and 1 Endurant could attack something up to 63 times. Since from what I've heard of them from reviews, they're only noteworthy when you're using the Extremis Trigger Word stratagem (3 hit rolls per attack rather than D3). But that combined with Zealot rule where you re-roll failed hit rolls, surely that makes these chaps really good in close combat?

They're very good at scything through hordes. The problem is that they lack some of the synergies other melee units get. Mortifiers for example is also very good at clearing a horde, plus they're a valid recipient of the charge after advance stratagem. Zephyrim and Repentia get the <ORDER> tag meaning you can stack Bloody Rose buffs and stratagems on them. So Arco-flags aren't bad per se, they just get outshined by other melee options.

Yeah, look at the list that came 4th here: https://www.40kstats.com/northeastopen Just piles of Repentia and Zephyrim blasting forwards into combat. Repentia kill basically anything, at which point Arco-flags look a bit mediocre.

Not yet. The non-limited plastic canoness and seraphim/zephyrim are also still pending. There are five repentia in repeated poses in the SOB limited edition box.

The first time I encountered a weapon like this, blades on an ork deffkopta, I was similarly confused. Then I realized this exists so that you can have variable attack melee weapons since melee weapons are based on the models attack stat. Ranged weapons don't have that problem, so they just write 2d6 attacks or whatever.

Here's a link to Fuaxhammer on ISO striping. there's also info on the first page of the mini painting thread. The main takeaway is usually "LA Awesome/Simple Green/Purple Power/Super Clean is safe for long soaks, 99% Iso should only soak about an hour". Of course, every time I go looking up info I keep finding weirder and weirder stuff people are trying (Pinesol? really?)
