I don’t use slack. Maybe I should? What armor mark are the Headhunters designed to work with? I actually really like III and IV and was hoping to use a mixture of them for different troop types.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:I don’t use slack. Maybe I should? Most people can even install Slack themselves on their work computers, so it's proven to be a good tool for the SA 30k community to communicate/bullshit together outside of the 30k thread. Most of us have been involved with it for a good 4-5 years, if not longer, at this point, and have shared a lot of good times together, including some group trips to LVO and other worldwide travel. I highly recommend joining. Looks like the Headhunter kit is actually "designed" for the BaC MkIV plastic kit, but would work totally fine on the new MkVI kit as well if that is easier/cheaper for you to find. Really, most of the models can be mixed together and look completely fine.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:I don’t use slack. Maybe I should? Headhunters have existed in the XXth ever since the days of the Ghost Legion, so anything from mkII to mkVI would be appropriate. The XXth don't really do strict unit formations of the 'congratulations on your promotion, here's your Headhunter armor' type. (edit: I guess I should write my posts faster) If you're asking specifically about the resin kit, they're technically designed for the plastic mkIV kit, but would look good on any armor mark. (We were talking about Lerneans earlier, but nobody mentioned their big rule - they're the only terminators to natively come with the Line tag! With Line being so rare on the traitor side, this is huge.)

Doing my headhunters in mk.II armor. And yeah the Lernaeans big but unexciting thing is they seem to be the only terminator unit with Line outside of RoWs.

So I got a shipping notice from GW on the Heresy stuff I ordered. Given not the big box, but still transfers and stuff which were marked as available on the 18th.

Are Volkite weapons at least decent in the new edition? They look cool as hell and, being war crime weapons from the Dark Age of Technology, seem appropriate for Dark Angels.

So still spots are open for the Las Vegas Open. Do most people do the 3 day narrative or largely the Zone Mortalis stuff? I'd like to lock down what the hell I'll be doing and it will be my first time going So tips from people who have gone would be greatly appreciated

I'd like to lock down what the hell I'll be doing and it will be my first time going We run the 30k Zone Mortalis event. It's 90% people from this thread. So we're all going to be biased in saying: Come play with us. We just play pick-up games and setup a bunch of nice tables and roll in hungover or whatever, it's very low stress compared to like fully organized play.

We do ZM, that’s a manageable amount of stuff to fly with. Friday and Saturday are the main playing days, and we’ll usually spend the evenings moving into a sort of blind drunkenness.

I've been thinking long and hard about this. I'll probably break down and buy the new box, although I haven't played 30K since the start of quarantine. I am undecided as to which Legion to build. Iron Hands, Ultras, and Space Woofs are contenders.

"We" "run" the ZM event because after a couple of years of just showing up, stealing tables and playing ZM together we had to go legit. It's the most disorganised thing you'll ever pay money for. (it's super good tho.)

As long as they aren't prohibitively expensive (Destroyers double-fisting Serpenta), they seem like a pretty good upgrade over bolters. I'm debating real hard if I want to actually do a Destroyer unit with Serpenta and also the two units of Breachers I never finished with Chargers.

Volkite is in a pretty good place and costed well for most units- its a volume of fire weapon, where you go all-in or take none at all imo

Is there somewhere I can go to see what all the universal special rules (line, fleshbane etc.) do? I am used to data sheets and have only a small brain.

There'll all be present in the main rulebook come the 18th, I'm not aware if there have been major changes to how USR's work so info on them from 7th may still be valid.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Is there somewhere I can go to see what all the universal special rules (line, fleshbane etc.) do? I am used to data sheets and have only a small brain. Just to expand on what ijyt has said, there will be USRs that are in the rulebook and other faction-relevant USRs in their respective books. If you aren't used to it it can be a bit clunky to start out with but once you absorb a bit of knowledge they become a really easy way to convey what a unit does. I mean, despite it having like twenty different names everyone just calls it Objective Secured in 9th and not whatever Verbs of the Nouns the army rule is. The system does have a bit of a downside when you're starting out in that you can miss some rules interactions if you aren't paying attention, like how meltabombs interact with dreadnoughts. In the draft rules the profile for meltabombs aren't under grenades but "Miscellaneous and exotic weapons" in Liber Astartes/Hereticus. It shows it has Melee, Detonation, Unwieldy, Armourbane (Melee) and Instant Death. 4 of those rules are in the Rulebook while Detonation is in the Liber. It basically boils down to you getting a single S8 AP1 attack against a dread, building, vehicle automata, fortification or model that can't move that rolls 2d6 pick the highest for armour penetration or rerolls wounds against dreads and robots, and each wound causes Instant Death. However dreads that have the Atomantic Deflector rule (again in the Liber) that gives them an invulnerable save and counts any Instant Death wounds as D3 wounds instead. It's always worth reading up on your gear and what the other guy is bringing so you can get across everything comfortably and not get blindsided when your expensive combat machine ends up only doing 2 wounds to a Contemptor and gets pulped in response.

It's so weird to see USR having to be defended this way even though it's how nearly every other miniatures games manages special rules and is obviously superior to whatever GW is doing with 40k and AoS

What 5 years of 8/9th edition 40k does to a player base

# ? Jun 9, 2022 07:38 |

Not even 5 years, people were celebrating USR's going away in the 40K thread when 8th info was dropping and I couldn't understand it. There's no logic that can convince me that 15 variations of Feel No Pain is better than... Feel No Pain. The few games I played of 8th ended up being "my unit has X" - "what's X?" "it's Y from 7th". Worst change ever.

If I recall correctly, when GW first announced that 8th edition would do away with USRs and put all the relevant info on the datasheets, nobody foresaw all those units getting identical rules with different names. I mean, why would they? That’d be ridiculous. Likewise, it wasn’t apparent just how many rules would be offloaded from the datasheets that were gonna have “all” the rules in favor of putting them in the army rules overviews, because why would folks assume GW would eliminate USRs only to immediately reinvent them in all but name? And then that enthusiasm for the version GW talked about before revealing all the details of its implementation just kinda carried forward.

I wish that they had just started putting the USRs on the datasheets. Keep it consistent and also eliminate the need to pull out the main rules if you forget how something works
