My LI accessories order from GW just shipped this evening. My order from a Northern Irish shop has yet to ship, they are normally incredibly punctual, so I reckon GWs warehouse has been caught badly out.

If anyone buys a Legion Imperialis box of marine tanks and doesn't want the World Eaters transfers, I'd happily take them off their hands

Safety Factor posted:Yeah, that's a good catch. It's a nice, simple way to reduce active modifiers. My guess is that a Wizard can cast a spell they know for each phase. So a Level 4 Wizard that knows one Enchantment, Conveyance, Magic Missile, Vortex, and Assailment spell could cast one of each spell except for during the shooting phase where they would have to pick between the Vortex and Magic Missile.

There might even be a curveball like the winds of magic roll at the start of each turn, which determines how many dice players get to spend on spells. I love that they're finally putting out info for this though.

True, plus that doesn't work well with spells spread out across the player turn.

EdsTeioh posted:576 of these things, huh? Yep, and and while 36 of those are the squares mostly taken up by big circular grilles (which I left metal) about half of the remainder have this horrible shape where there are 2 little lines of the grid cutting off the sides of the square. So I felt I had to kind of 'fill in' those little strips with my concrete grey colour as well as the main body of the square. It was incredibly tedious, I have 3 spare tiles which some day I may make riser sections out of, but my god I don't want to ever have to paint them.

I mean, the best solution really is to prime black, airbrush just the concrete or whatever, then brush paint the metallics and weather the poo poo out of them BUT I'm almost tempted to just rattlecan some Zandri Dust and then hit metallics.

I went with airbrush and wash the metallics, then paint in the concrete, but that was at least partly because I used texture paint on the concrete, and that also made the process a bit more painful.

Discourse is extremely frustrating because they have actual points but drown them in a mire of YouTuber clickbait bullshit. It’s difficult to take them seriously when the video titles are tryhard outrage poo poo and the actual valid criticism is hidden between worthless skits As a BattleTech player, their video on BT was a perfect example. Stupid video title (that they changed at least twice, and each time worse than before) that doesn’t represent the actually reasonable and generally positive opinion presented in the video in basically any way - which also is drowned in lame ”ha ha BT old” jokes

Thankfully the algo decided to show Discourse's mug one day and I promptly  the channel.

Little Rhino is a lot of fun so far- really easy to put together, easy to drill and set up on handle. I got it primed and ready to paint. I’m going to use a DG recipe from Eavy Metal that I plan on making a dirtier version of for my Plague Marine Kill Team.

The people who have chosen to make "hating GW" their whole personality are desperately thirsty for something to come along and kill 40k. If you knew anyone who was constantly and unfathomably angry about WoW, it's essentially the same phenomenon. Ultimate Warquest Online is going to be the next big thing and nobody will play WoW anymore and then the guild will have to come crawling back to me begging for leveling runs ... and I'll say no.

I'm like the poster boy of hating GW here, or I was back in the Death Thread days, but honestly they course corrected after Kirby left and hating GW is just such a waste of energy when you can play a different game and move on with your life. Battletech is cool and all, but it is not 40k. It's barely Epic. It's got way more in common with Advanced Squad Leader and the hex and chit genre than it does with traditional miniature games like 40k. Trying to pretend the transition between the two is seamless is so bizarre to me.

Battletech has a ton going for it. I love it for small narrative campaigns and scenarios, it is kinda like a historical game set in the future. Playing a lance v lance deathmatch is still fun, but is probably the least interesting way to play. People trying to make BT into 40k miss that it has way more potential as like a DnD style game. I suspect that comes from how competitive 40k is.

Taking two armies of equal points and smashing them into each other also sounds like the least interesting way to play 40k.

I suspect that comes from how competitive 40k is. Im kind of hoping that LI goes into the "historicals but fake" motif a bit. We basically know all of the HH battles, and they're documented. The next boxed set is called The Great Slaughter and the book specifically names that as the Istvan 3 massacre, so I'm hoping they provide cool ways to recreate battles.

I wish that GW had actually put money into paying a good sci fi author and a military historian or something to partner up and write the Istavan V lore. It’s supposed to be one of the most important moments in the setting and it’s like a Jr High schooler thought it up.
