Floppychop posted:My main problem with "just house rule stuff" is that the main reason I play 40k is that it's super easy to go to a new LGS and get a game in. 40k pretty much has the title of most popular wargame on lock, and the ease of finding people to play with is the main reason I buy, build, and paint these silly space mans. If you want to play with your toys, you'll need to find people who are happy to let you.

Stephenls posted:The real question is, can they come up with a reason why the Eldar are the villains in a boxed set vs. Ultramarines? Because if they can do that, the Eldar could get a full line refresh as part of an edition launch. They are specifically name dropped as being in the Pariah Nexus doing unknown, nefarious things. That counts right? RIGHT!?!?

    I have a few more details to go but I'm done for tonight I think. I wanna add a bit more color to the backpack and some bits and bobs throughout. Not too happy with the base but maybe a more solid black rim will make it look nicer. Bonus:  Don't talk to me or my sons again!

Yeah, but they only got one new model out of that, and it was one of, like, three Vigilus boxes around that time. There is a difference between a short event box and the sort of sustained plotline GW uses to hype a big line refresh.

Cessna posted:What's the best way to build out a Necron army after Indomitus? Extra Warriors. They are a pretty solid choice for basically any list. Indomitus comes with enough stuff that you can sort of get a feel for what units you like and which ones you don't, so you can go from there. However, since the warriors are the same as the recruit boxes and basically the same price, you might as well buy them second hand or buy the recruit boxes and sell all the spares.

I see two recommendations for more Warriors. Are they a better choice than Immortals? I'm also thinking of a Cryptek and a couple of Ghost Arks - good idea?

Two Headed Calf posted:How did you do your bases? What did you do to get the yellow/brass/gold effect on the claws? The bases are Golden crackle paste in a thick layer. Once it dried I shaved down the sides with a nail file and painted it with Golden Red Oxide, washed with Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed with red oxide mixed with a bright orange. The color on the claws is just Vallejo Model Wash Light Rust over Vallejo Metal Pale Burnt Metal, which itself was washed with AP Dark Wash. I also used AP Dry Rust for the patches of orange rust, and then a bit of AP Glistening Blood for the blood stuck in the crevices.

I think people are leaning towards warriors with the Gauss Reapers in big blobs to maximise the reanimation rolls. Not entirely sure about Ghost Arks, they bring models back but can only carry ten warriors which are less survivable. In terms of support characters I think as long as you have a plan and role for them, most of them are pretty good. You want plenty of characters to benefit from the protocols anyway.

Knobb Manwich posted:A normal morning considering buying recruit edition while waiting for indomitus, but convincing myself to go elite edition for the destroyers. It's saving money right? the recruit and elite edition are the best way to buy the troops or elites included in those boxes; if you are planning to buy in and want to play either of those armies you are going to buy a recruit or elite box, or two, eventually anyway. I'd go with the elite edition myself, you can part out what you don't want on ebay or for store credit at your LGS depending on what kind of place you go Cooked Auto posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/11/04/three-more-reasons-to-visit-your-warhammer-store/ They've gotta do something for their store owners to try to bring on-foot business in. Does this mean all their partner stores are getting the freebies, or just official GW stores? Smart of them to make the most expensive paint the free one instead of "equal or less value", I'd like to see some paint line price drops to go with it, people have had a lot of time in the last year to learn how to use other products and paying the citadel premium seems a little silly when reaper and army painter cost half the price and are just a little trickier to work with Mirthless fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Nov 4, 2020 |

I do want these models though; so when they go on preorder can I get them through my flgs or are they GW mail exclusive? These, like Space Marine Heroes Series 1 and 2 before them, were conceived and manufactured as a product to sell in Japan, where Warhammer has a presence and where blind-buy collector's boxes like these are very popular. They're not just Easy-to-Build in the sense of being press-fit and requiring no glue, they're also manufactured with only the tiniest point of contact between model part and runner/sprue/frame/whatever, so you can pop them off the sprue with your fingers. (This is not ideal and still leaves a nub, but it's pretty small.) They are basically boxes that Japanese model collectors can buy for cheap while at the counter paying for a gundam, and then assemble in ten minutes with no tools. They show up here a year or two after going on the market there because the European and North American market want 'em, too. In the case of Series 1 and 2, there were a few models available in Japan that were never sold in blind boxes in Europe or North America because GW used the models in their Space Marine Adventures game, and a few models not part of the initial Japan release that got added to the European/American release because... I dunno, because that's how collector's item marketing works? This doesn't seem to be the case with the Series 3 stuff, maybe there's less demand for plague marines. The series 2 terminator sculpts were really nice. Stephenls fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Nov 4, 2020 |

Feels like GW is doing better about providing products for a wide variety of customers. People buying blind box models are buying them because they’re blind box, it’s fun for them. God bless em.

Huh, my FLGS was quiet about Warhammer Day on their FB page so I assumed they just didn't get anything. Guess it varied on stores. Guess I'll have to drop by and check. Hopefully I'll get my Ripper Jackson model before long. Still feels like independent stocks are excluded from stuff like this anyway.

The Space Marines Heroes dudes are evidently a smidge bigger than your standard smallmarine, the actual Astartes Space Marines are more in line with the new Chaos marines size-wise and the Terminators are a tad bigger too. Most if not all the models come with both a bare head and helmet option too.

I assumed the standalone boxes for the destroyers/outriders etc were new multi pose models given their pricing, but no they're the same easy to build models. So I probably will grab a box because that's mad. That command edition post got to me as terrain would be nice. JBP posted:We don't have coronavirus so it seems good.

I find they look bigger, but are actually about the same size. The Series 1 tactical marines have their apparent size increased a bit by the sculpted bases and dynamic poses adding some height, and the Series 2 terminators benefit from that that plus their helmets are sculpted slightly smaller and more recessed than the old-rear end plastic multipose terminators, which makes their bodies look bigger. They're still a bit smaller than the current Chaos Space Marine line.

I picked up the new biker Chaplain and I'd rather not have to drop another $45 for another one just because I have two different marine armies (Black Templars and Carcharadons). Anyone have suggestions what to put on the left pauldron that's chapter-agnostic? I was kind of thinking just a white background and a skull or something.

That pauldron is a separate piece, so the obvious solution is to magnetize it and paint up options for both Black Templars and Carcharodons. Then you can paint up a third pauldron if you ever start a third Space Marine army, too. Future-proofing!

Without enough volume of new releases most game stores will be hard pressed to make money, and they won’t get that money back if supply ever goes back up because people will have flocked to GW stores or online options that have stock.
