Cooked Auto posted:You missed the Eldar second wave with the Avatar, Shining Spears. And the Corsairs. So that's most likely for march 5th like they've done before. I didn't miss it, I'm assuming the next Eldar wave will be spread out like the Sisters (May/June/July), Orks (July/Aug/Sept), and BT (Oct/Nov) waves were. Eldar wave 2 could even be alongside the Nids codex if that just comes with minimal models.

xtothez posted:An interesting set of Tyranid rumours have been appearing this weekend, and they have now been corroborated by someone who leaked Tau & Eldar rules over the last couple of months. Tyrants getting a reroll aura has interesting implications since scything talons give reroll 1s right now, so they'll be changing too if this pans out.

Played a game as Tyranids today and I want to wrap my head around something. I tried to use Endless Swarm to resurrect a destroyed pack of Hormagaunts.quote:Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Select a unit of Termagants, Hormagaunts or Gargoyles (or any HYDRA INFANTRY unit) from your army that has been completely destroyed. Add an identical unit to your army, and set it up as reinforcements wholly within 6" of any board edge, more than 9" from enemy models. The reinforcements rules as explained to me meant that this stratagem is me spending 2 command points to get the benefit of spending army points to bring back a unit, not that they come back as a resurrected "free" unit. Is that really how reinforcements work? I'm paying 2 CP to pay the same points for the same unit, again, and it would only work if I intentionally under-spent on my army by not bringing a full strength army list in the first place and had the "spare" points?

It makes more sense if you're aware that you only pay reinforcement points in Matched Play games, but not in Narrative or Open Play games. The strat is effectively more of a narrative / crusade style rule but isn't useful in normal games.

Goes from looking like a shiny new tool in the box to a steaming turd in the hand. There was a time in 40k when daemons could be summoned for free. Zero points cost. In semi-competitive and competitive play this led to entirely predictable stupidity with daemons flooding the board. Responding to this, in 8th, GW got rid of rules that allowed free summoning. It was replaced with allowing players to leave points on their rosters to buy units later using summoning/spawning special rules. Obviously, much weaker. A good change, removed some flavour from matched play - but it still worked in narrative where this kind of thing probably belonged anyway. It's totally understandable that you missed this though. It doesn't sound like a summoning rule (because they called the summoning rule the reinforcements rule) and also Chaos Space Marines actually have (had?) a stratagem that allows what you thought you could do here. Albeit with an extant unit rather than one that has been wiped out: quote:TIDE OF TRAITORS Maneck fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Feb 21, 2022 |

Rules that allow you to re-summon dead units for free do exist, they always specift if you don't need to pay reinforcement points though. Biggest example is Daemons who can summon a unit killed by Grey Knights again for some CP.

How hosed is a demon army playing against Grey Knights? I know that GKs should be uniquely good at killing them, but how does it actually shake out on the table?

I have no practical experience but Daemons have one of the oldest codexes and are one of the weaker armies by and large, while GK are one of the stronger ones up until very recently, so I can’t imagine it’s a good match. Maybe the Be’lakor army of renown does okay?

A legend my wife and sister have been trying to make The Imperial Truth. I’ve been digging around on BattleScribe and and I still need one or two more units…Space marines Shieldbreakers…I mean Cadian Command Squad and maybe an extra Russ or two. Edit: Yeah I’d love for release dates on those sets. Honestly there usually decently priced…after discount….and it allows you to get an army you can play with…well not the Guard.

Gunder posted:How hosed is a demon army playing against Grey Knights? I know that GKs should be uniquely good at killing them, but how does it actually shake out on the table? It used to be a total wipe for the Daemons because every grey knight unit on the board did flat 3 damage with smite and they got +1 to cast, so you needed 4 smites before it became more likely you'd fail than pass (4, 5, 6, 7) whereas now it's 3 smites until you reach that point and you only do D3. On top of that it used to be the case everyone just natively got I want to say re-roll wounds against Daemons, and then got the benefit of a tide on top of that (one of which gave you 4 damage smites). These days there's no inherent extra benefit to fighting a Daemon player as a Grey Knight other than one of the Tides of the Warp which gives you re-roll hits and wounds of 1 vs Daemons and everyone gets a 6" bubble of -2 leadership vs Daemons. However when you do the maths for these options while RR 1s for hitting and wound does slightly more damage to normal Daemons than the tide of 6s to wound generating mortals, it's quite easy to get RR 1s to hit from Draigo, GMDK or to wound from a Brother Captain in which case the mortal wounds are better. So in reality GK doesn't really do anything particularly special against Daemons unless you take their daemon artefacts. They do get a Daemon killing secondary which is cool but you can only take 1 secondary from the codex and Cleansing Ritual is ace so even if the daemon one is an easy 15 points so is Cleansing Ritual. There's not even a strat that mentions the keyword "DAEMON" once. That all being said, the army is full of stuff Daemons hate: massed shooting from stormbolters etc to deal with the small Daemons and big mortal wound output and access to big punchy guys to kill the greater daemons. So Daemons will lose to Grey Knights quite easily but its not so much to do with specific rules that target the Daemon army anymore.

I completed a random guy this weekend using leftover bits and a pair of legs I 3d printed:  For some reason this wash was a bit more grey than the light greyish blue I usually get, so the Ulthuan Grey doesn't stand out as much, nor do the edge highlights, however I'm pretty happy because I think I achieved the psycho smiling face I was going for. I'm calling him "Blow poo poo Up Brad". Does Goonhammer accept submissions for Goon Armies?

I’ve always done preferred shoulder mounted missile launchers, plasma and las cannon from the second edition metal range. The power armor had beefier legs and a wide stance. However the heavy bolter look doofy and much prefer that slug low.

Edit: I'm a little bummed that the counterpart to Corsairs is just CSM, it would have been cool if it was something similarly different like some sort of cultists, hereteks, red corsairs, etc. Although I have zero interest in chaos anyway so it wouldn't actually sway me. Hopefully these are useful for CSM players.Crab Dad posted:I’ve always done preferred shoulder mounted missile launchers, plasma and las cannon from the second edition metal range.

Agreed, I think that the problem with the Heavy bolter is that it really looked like they just upscaled a bolt pistol until it fit on the guy's shoulder.

Winklebottom posted:Chaos Kill Team to go with the Corsairs  CAHM ON CHAOS SCORE SOME FACKING GOALS Also we can expect an upgraded CSM box by the time the codex drop since those guys also have an upgrade sprue like the Pathfinders had in the Calnath box. Which is starting to look like the norm, at least so far. One entirely new side and one side with an upgrade sprue. Makes me wonder if that was going to be the case with Cadians but they changed their mind during development. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Feb 21, 2022 |

If the new pricing isn't awful, I might pick up that Nachmund set. It'd round out my terrain collection, and those Corsairs really do look cool as hell to paint, and I'd probably give them to my friend who has 1k points of Harlequins to push him a bit towards a 2k Eldar army. I don't have any pure Chaos Space Marines, either, so depending on the sprues, it might be a good hobby box. I mean, when it boils down to it, I'm getting most of these KT boxes for "terrain + something hobbyist." If that Necromunda terrain box wasn't almost $300, I'd get it, but WOOF.

Dude wearing human skin obviously a night lord. Chaingunner will be an Iron Warrior. Normal dude with bolt gun has to be Alpha Legion for sure. That just leaves Death Guard, Thousand Sons and Emperor's Children. I'm sure I can snag a single plague marine from somewhere to be a boltgun dude, and then maybe the chainsword guy as an Emperor's Children? I'd like to get a Rubric Marine for the flamer but I don't think it makes sense as they are all basically dust puppets without a psyker.
