jng2058 posted:So looking over the Guard spotlight, I note with interest that it appears that Blast weapons work per die, not per weapon since he talks about Wyverns getting 24 shots against a horde! Specifically, the rules were max on 11+ models, minimum of 3 hits on 6-10 models. So that doesn't seem to quite be the case. It just scales really, really weirdly when you get into high roll blast weapons.

Kitchner posted:I mean in splash damage I suppose the logic is if you were standing in a massive open car park I'd squirt liquid fuel in your direction while it burns and if you're in its way you get burned, but if you're holed up in a bunker or a hole i don't need to hit you i just fire at the hole as the fire will hit you anyway. Yeah, but in one scenario you're actually hit by a stream of flaming liquid, in the other the stream of flaming liquid sloshes/splashes on you. You're probably dead either way, but the first is definitely worse, unless it's like a oven thing, where you can't get out and just sit in there for a long period or something. More to the point though, I really dislike mechanics where you're hoping for the enemy to get in a well-defended position because your gun is better at hurting them for some weird nonsensical reason. I just think it's really bad from a rules design perspective.

Has anyone been to the yuge Warhams store in Grapevine? Is it worth checking out? The last time I drove to Grapevine, I got into a accident on the way there. Not too keen on going back otherwise

The terrain is incredible and there is a ton of neat warhammer stuff all around. Great place to get Forge World bits. The staff were nice when I went and really enjoyed watching my little group's narrative campaign. The cafe is pretty good. Random people would come in just to get an ice coffee or something and walk out. Its smaller than you would imagine but it is worth checking out if you are in the area. Traffic is a pain though.

Holy poo poo: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/06/24/ephrael-stern-the-boxed-saintgw-homepage-post-3/ I just wanted the comic book and the model, but they're offering up the novel, the graphic novel, dice & a dice bag, a fancy bookmark, pin, and a wax stamp with wax to boot. Limited to 1,500 copies. I shudder to think how expensive this is gonna be.

Meow Tse-tung posted:So I've been bored and wanted to start doing some painting. I'm not hyper competitive but if I go to local events at some point I don't want to get absolutely slaughtered. I picked up the space wolves pack and start collecting space wolves because I figured it would give a bunch of versatility and wolf bits to use on intercessors or whatever. I know that with indomintus/9th coming a ton of change is going to happen, but... Yeah Grey Hunters aren't as good as intercessors, but they aren't garbage or anything. They are still space marines and they still get to fire twice at 24" if they stay still, they still get Space Wolf rules meaning they aren't terrible in combat, and if you put a power fist on the Sergeant if the rest of the squad dies you can turn him into a Lone Wolf. I think from the bits you get on those sprues, you can also turn them into Blood Claws, which aren't too bad if you can get them into contact with the enemy. Ultimately you've got them now and even if you convert a couple into wolf lords or rune priests you've got 20 of them. If I were you I'd make them into Grey Hunters and if you decide you want to replace them with Intercessors later you can do. Revelation 2-13 posted:Yeah, but in one scenario you're actually hit by a stream of flaming liquid, in the other the stream of flaming liquid sloshes/splashes on you.

I just think it's really bad from a rules design perspective. Well I guess the counter argument is in a big open space it's easier to run away from the flame throwing spray, whereas in a tight confine you get trapped and hosed. Ultimately the Hellhound is designed for roasting people in Bunkers and holed up in cover, so it makes sense to have bonuses to doing so.

I know that with indomintus/9th coming a ton of change is going to happen, but... I think you could probably get some work done with them by converting them to Blood Claws. Especially if you arm the Pack Leader with some kind of power weapon (Fist, Axe, Lightning/Ice/Wolf Claw, T.Hammer, etc.) and attach a Wolf Guard Terminator to them. Maybe run them with Lukas the Trickster or something. It's not ideal, but it's probably your best option.

There's two. The Goonhammer one is associated with the website, and is more recent innovation. Booley and Corrode run one which was a really great resource, but I am not aware of how active it's been in the past couple years.

tangy yet delightful posted:Anyone know if new Eldar sculpts could happen like say within a year? Or aeldari or whatever. Maybe, but then again, a good part of the range is using 2nd edition models that are a year younger than my brother. They are Jes Goodwin sculpts so they hold up pretty well compared to other sculpts from that era.
