They were really playing it up as being large. I hope they do a Livestream of the entire thing and just go full Nintendo direct. That would be cool.

I've been working more on the tyranid list I posted about earlier in the thread. I have the 1k version fully assembled, and now I've gotten it scaled up to a 2,500-er. Most of the original 1k points are exactly the same, except the flyrant'll be run as a full dakka-flyrant now and I'll be using the Shrikes as Warriors again (the Prime effect and Kronos psyker power is just too good of a synergy to ignore.) How does this look? If it helps, the local meta (in as far as a bunch of my friends counts as a meta) seems to be Bad Moon Orks, Alpha Legion Chaos, and Blood Angels.

Thanks, I wasnt sure if GH did one and if it did if it would still be useful, guess I can read them both together though and give it a shot. I'm playing Grey Knights for the league probably (though I can change my list and army each game) so I'm likely always going to want to go first so the change to deployment doesn't affect me much, other than the fact I know for sure I'll get it or have lost it thanks to no seize. More concerned about picking the right secondaries for the right opponent. Edit; Looks like my opponents are blood angels, thousand sons/daemons, Eldar/dark eldar. As soon as the guy said TS/Daemons I felt a bit bad for that matchup. Two more guys haven't spoke up yet but we are sort of in the middle of the league so I'm not expecting any crazy broken IH lists or anything.

There's also one on primaries, which is basically still accurate since the primary hasn't changed much except the relative difficulty of a lot of the bonus objectives has gone down. Also as GK, strongly consider going 2nd - with the amount of DS you can bring to the table as well as Gate and Astral Aim, you can often hide your entire army effectively.

That's a good point. The list isn't quite the double Paladin bomb simply as I don't have enough paladins, but the premise is essentially the same. Gate a unit of paladins into someone's face and edict imperator a GMDK up the board in turn 1. Bunch of characters at the back, half the army deep strikes in. I guess I need to also revisit the goon hammer article on setting up scenery to ensure that the board actually makes sense as well. I mean if you're using ITC might as well using tournament board set ups too.

Unrelated, but I found the first ever minis I painted. They were from learn to paint box I picked up in 2012, when I decided I was going to start painting minis.

JBP posted:Go for it! I love the hijinks you can do. Just be prepared to stay your hand on command rerolls and stuff. I run very heavy on spending my CP before the game and usually have between four and six to actually play with so you want to avoid early rerolls and stick to the plan. You could just use a regular librarian but I like being able to deploy the Phobos guy forward to cast enveloping darkness on turn one and either risk shadow stepping away or having an aggressor screen. Thanks! I'm working my way up to 1500 points against an opponent that always brings Bjorn, who takes 3 turns to get anywhere useful. I don't think he'll expect getting jumped T2 by a roided-up Chaplain and Aggressor squad. Next game, I had a plan involving Master of Ambush as close to the enemy deployment as possible, and augmented T1 by a drop pod with a grav dev squad, librarian, and company vets. I think I'll change it up and use MoA on a Gravis Captain, and save that Chaplain for a T2 bomb. Looks like I have to paint a bunch of aggressors now.

Ghaz's new datasheet leaked, and if it's accurate he's...ok? I have extremely mixed feelings about his new rules. Some of them are great but others are just what the gently caress GW. If you want to see for yourself go look at the orks subreddit, i don't remember the rules about posting leaks here.

I don't know, a model that let's all your orks advance and charge, is 2+/4++,T7 with 12 wounds who can't take more than 4 wounds in a phase, and does at least 6 S14 -4 AP attacks, can move 7", advance, fire, and then charge sounds loving awesome. Edit; Just realised his rules apply to ORK INFANTRY and he's not infantry he's a monster, so his own rules don't apply to him. Still seems awesome.

I think my biggest hold backs are: He's probably going to be 300+ points. The advance and charge for infantry is already on a warboss, which is screenable (although more vulnerable to snipers admittedly) and costs waaaaaaay less. He's 12 wounds, which means even with only taking 4 wounds per phase he's just going to immediately take 4 wounds in the first turn shooting phase, and possibly an extra 4 in the first turn psychic, and be on his middle profile. He's a monster, which i think means he can't ride in transports, and he doesn't get his own advance and charge rule, and he cannot be Da Jumped. So you're either deep-striking him to get him in melee range anytime soon, or he's durdling around on the back of the board doing gently caress-all. The model is dope as hell and i want one, but it'll be a cool shelf-piece most likely. I'll take a Morkanaut if i want a 300+ point model on the field.

Max 4 wounds in a phase is loving bonkers. Gotta throw lascannons and kitchen sinks at him in the shooting phase, wasting half and like more ("Ohh, rolled a 6 damage on that multi-melta? too bad he can only take 1 more wound this phase, gently caress you!"). Spamming 4 wounds in the psychic phase is something few armies can pull off and involve being WAY too close to what will be a massive ork frontline, one that can advance and charge. He can kill two primarchs back to back, easy, if he can just hit one after the other. Maybe they should rework that rule into other bigshots that get killed in 1 turn (like say, Magnus), but it feels like one of those rules that start cracking the base of the game. Like Eternal Warrior.
