Schadenboner posted:Are flayed ones still a thing? I was eating a fruit-by-the-foot the other day and remembered them from DoW. They haven't come up, and the idea of the Flayed One madness infection that makes Necrons go all berserk and kill things compulsively seems to overlap a lot thematically with the "Destroyer virus" they've mentioned a few times, so it's possible they've been effectively replaced with the Skorpekh Destroyers. More predictions, now that it's become blatantly obvious that the Blood Angel in that one pic is wearing Gravis armor, thanks to the presence of a Gravis tube on the back of his knee that I really should have noticed:  1) Heavy Intercessors will be a multibuild kit with the multipose Eradicators. 2) Veteran Intercessors will be a multibuild kit with the multipose Bladeguard Veterans.

Why do you think veteran intercessors won't just be turning the stratagem into a datasheet?

I didn't realize that Sisters got the Primaris treatment. The models were so old I expected there would be a size difference for the new ones, but it's pretty huge. Don't think I can mix old and new models at all without making it look glaring. Possibly if I mounted the older ones on some scenic basing to help even things out? If you put them in a combined squad it looks like 'bring your novice to work' day.

On the back of the Munitorum manual, you can see some Ultramarine Veteran Intercessors and they just seem to be regular intercessor models with a different paint scheme. I think the Bladeguard kit is going to be single-purpose. I would hope it would have the options for an Ancient/ Lieutenant/Capt to be made as well but that feels more unlikely.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't because if you put all the old ones on scenic bases, they will stand out because they are standing on top of stuff. Looks like you just have to do the shareholders a solid and buy an entire new plastic Sister's army.

Booley posted:Why do you think veteran intercessors won't just be turning the stratagem into a datasheet? Three reasons. First, I think it's unlikely GW would make a datasheet for a unit without its name on a box. Second, part of the theme of 9th Edition seems to be, now that the aesthetically vanilla Primaris Marine line has been fleshed out, to provide more fancy, robe-cape-and-reliquary-encrusted model options, and giving veteran Intercessors their own distinct look with different helmets, tabards, and knee filigree seems to serve that theme, and making them a build option for Bladeguard does it while minimizing SKUs and mold costs. Third, I want the Veteran Intercessors to be a widely customizeable unit that can be fielded in variable numbers and draw on a broad range of gear from all the other Intercessor kits -- essentially an upgrade to the stratagem that takes into account the extra gear likely to be found in the multibuild Assault Intercessors -- to represent the visual tradition of space marine veterans and company command drawing from a broad variety of relic weapons, and I want it precisely because it would be a departure from the reduced-customization, some-units-only-fieldable-in-threes design GW has pursued for Primaris up until this point, but I think it's far more likely GW will do the opposite of that, not give me what I want, and stay the course. You of all people are aware of how off-the-mark my predictions are when I'm predicting stuff I want. If I'm wrong, and Veteran Intercessors are a datasheet upgrade to the stratagem or, better yet, their own kit with a different set of more ornate armor from the bladeguard -- which would imply the bladeguard would also get more build options, since there'd be more space on their sprues not dedicated to Veteran Intercessor gun options -- I'll be ecstatic. But I don't think I'm wrong. I think Veteran Intercessors will be Intercessors with the same tabards as Bladeguard Vets who can only be fielded in units of three or maybe six.

I am going to just keep the old ones in a different color scheme for if I want to run multiple Orders, but I am on the fence about repainting some of the vehicles because dear god, I own 9 rhino-hull based tanks and I really do not need more

Gunder posted:Not really, no. I think there's still a few metal models kicking around in some lines, but nothing even remotely new. I tried to think up things that might still be in metal, the only one I was able to find was the Ork Deffkopta - the description says that it's a metal model, although it's also unavailable online at the moment. I think they might still be selling metal models where they have a stockpile of them still, but I'm not sure they're actually making any more. Definitely anything new coming out is going to be plastic or, at worst, resin.

The Myphitic Blight Hauler didn't feel like it needed glue, from what I recall. Most of the Warhammer Underworlds models were all pretty good, too.

Strobe posted:Death Company Intercessors. Well, I hope you're right. If Veteran Intercessors aren't a multibuild option for Bladeguard Veterans, then that probably means Bladeguard Veterans will have a greater variety of wargear options and gubbins on their sprue than if Veteran Intercessors were integrated into those sprues, which would make me happy.

The outrider sword is the exact thing I was thinking of. I was able to get it to sorta balance in place but that was it. Everything else thus far has been very solid, though.

Outriders also have some panel gaps down the front of the bike which I glued together and I guess fill and smooth with liquid green stuff and sandpaper. Overall the models all look really good though, I bought new cutters too which meant cleaning the sprue joins was much less of A Thing than before. Assembled the entire SM side of the box in an evening (other than the outriders still needing some pre-paint prep work). Pleasantly surprised by it overall.

Instead of today's "Gallery" you used to have "Images" that would just lump everything you uploaded into one place. If you clicked on an image it would give you different urls for resizing of the images. So if I uploaded something 4000x3000 and wanted to post it here, it would get set to being maybe 1000x700 or something then I could use the [timg] tags in addition to that. Without that option, I'm just using the [timg] tags at full resolution.

I'm having a really hard time understanding the new 9th edition terrain rules and could really use some help. The terrain chapter of the rulebook makes it sound like the first thing you do is look at the terrain piece's category, which tells you -how- you get cover from that piece. For example, for obstacles, it says that Infantry/Beasts/Swarms must be within 3" etc in order to receive cover from that terrain piece. Likewise, it says Infantry/Beasts/Swarms must be within the footprint of area terrain to receive cover. However, it doesn't mention Vehicles or Monsters at all. Then, based on how I'm reading it, after you look at the category to figure out how you get cover, you look at that specific terrain piece's traits in order to find out what kind of effect its cover provides. Light Cover for +1 armor save, etc. So does that mean that Vehicles and Monsters don't receive cover from terrain at all? They don't meet the criteria for any terrain categories, after all. I keep seeing people online talking about how Vehicles get cover now, but reading this chapter of the new rulebook, I just don't understand how that's possible. Also, the stuff about the height of terrain pieces. The height of a terrain piece just dictates what kinda cover traits it can have, right? And those traits are permanently set for that piece? One person was trying to tell me you have to measure the height of terrain mid-game to determine what it gives Vehicles, then I saw another saying only Dense Cover affects Vehicles. This past weekend, I went and made reference cards for each terrain piece I own mostly using the recommended ones in GW's examples and I thought I had a grasp on this. But then I started talking to friends and people online about terrain and now I'm just completely confused.

Eversor assassins have the text 'each time a model is slain it can make an additional attack against the same unit'... do these additional attacks require you to re-check engagement range, or does it count as the same 'attack' even if the opponent removes models closest to your drug-crazed lunatic?
