Hey goons familiar with the postal service: what the gently caress does "no access" mean? They supposedly tried to deliver an order of models today, at noon, but I didn't hear a single loving buzz on the doorbell

GreenMarine posted:It was on the "must sell this week" shelf that says "online order only soon" in the GW store and the GW manager confirmed that the entire Deathwatch range is going direct order only. Can also confirm. I was in store and my local manager had pulled off Kill Team Cassius, the Venerable Dreadnought boxes and the Kill Team boxes. I think he said the only stuff in store would be the Start Collecting! Deathwatch set though. Maybe characters. goose willis posted:Hey goons familiar with the postal service: what the gently caress does "no access" mean? It means they physically couldn't access your drop location, maybe because of a gate code or blocked access. Technically. In my experience, because I live at the opposite end of my apartment complex from the mailboxes, they'll sometimes just mark it that if they don't feel like delivering it.

I'm sure they'll be getting some cool stuff. I'm hoping anyway, since I just started Deathwatch. Also, I dunno how much it can be believed, but my local manager and I both play Custodes. He let me know that Custodes would be getting a bunch of stuff in Spring 2018 - NOT the FW stuff. Totally new stuff. Supposedly.

Are you serious I live in a pretty small apartment building and it's just a lobby entrance and there has never been a time when they couldn't get in because there's always this old racist lady that sits in the lobby waiting for the mail around noon and I would be loving shocked if she didn't let them in

I actually had another package earlier this year mysteriously get returned to the sender because of some purported problem with the address which makes no sense because I got some models off loving eBay with the same address I used for a dozen prior purchases So when I called USPS I had to wait for about a half hour listening to canned music and when I finally got a postal creature on the line they were sorry, but they don't know, they can't know, they won't know, they're sorry, they cannot help further, they're sorry, they cannot know anything more about the problem, they're sorry, there's nothing else to be said because they cannot say anything that cannot be said

Death Guard peeps, I've got a couple of list-building questions as I'm scribbling them out furiously ahead of splitting a DI box with a mate in a few days. - Going shooty with Plague Marines, right choice? The melee weapons look sweet, but the Marines themselves only get 1 measly attack each. Not worth it? Blight Launchers and Plasma Guns seem a better investment. - Standard Chaos Lord or Lord of Contagion? Leaning towards Chaos Lord for sweet sweet re-rolls, but having played with the LoC before I know that he can be a beast once he lumbers into combat. - Which of the Elite slot characters are a must have. I kinda wanna get them all since I'm a sucker for the kind of buff game they bring but naturally I'll have to narrow them down for most standard sized games. Currently the only two I'm really leaning towards as vital are the Plague Surgeon and the Foul Blightspawn. Fair assessment to say they're the best of the bunch?

Personally, I've been looking at a daemon prince instead of a chaos lord, he does rerolls too. So anyway, I'm reading this Know No Fear book and it talks about a campaign in the ultramar system that has a gravis captain and intercessors delivered via stormravens and drop pods, I take this as tacit approval that I can do this in my games.

Tallyman is a must if you have any kind of melee at all and gives you a free CP on average per game (provided you started with 5-6). Biologus Putrifier gives you the ability to nuke a tank/monster or horde unit into the ground with 10-20 Plague Marines. They're all good-to-great characters depending on circumstances.

My mailman Joe is the best. Gives my dogs treats or a bite of his sandwich, brings us honey from bees he keeps and doesn't complain about our quarter mile uphill driveway when he has to bring me boxes of eBay models or amazon goodness everyday. I've now amassed a solid quantity of every 4th ed aspect warrior in metal, except for loving dark reapers because they're hot poo poo these days. Yay eBay. My assumption is that this will trigger GW to release plastic aspects and Phoenix lords.

I recently bought a house, and the highlight of this new home is that I actually have room to slam hams now. So I am now making wargaming terrain to play with. So, I bought these amazing circular moss/grass 'mats' from a business closing down for dirt cheap, with the intention of using them for wargaming in some way. I forgot to take actual photos of them prior to this post, but here are some photos of me using them as Sylvaneth Wildwoods in an AOS game:   Only now I am loving stumped as to HOW to use them. The other page you guys were talking cool terrain ideas and poo poo, does anyone have some cool ideas I can unashamedly steal to use these? They are flexible, flocked with bright green static grass stuff and seem to be made out of a soft circle of ...fuzz? What the gently caress do I do with them?!?

USPS is great here but they've got a jolly old santa as a postmaster that calls everyone male lad (and it's small enough he's often at the counter) so I have no clue what it's like in a more urban area. E: also our distribution center is great and FedEx and UPS are crap out in the burbs. Flat rate boxes and first class mail are also often the cheapest options for small shippers.

Choppy plague marines get +1A unless they have the flail, which deals d3 attacks for 2 damage a pop anyway that rollover overflow wounds, seems nuts. However shooty marines with as many plasma guns as they can hold sounds really nice too, 18 inch rapid fire? Chuck them next to a lord or daemon prince for rerolling 1s and that sounds like a lot of power. I don't think that you could go wrong with either choppy or shooty, they are really versatile models. In terms of elites, the plague surgeon is interesting as anything that buffs disgustingly resilient sounds really good, but my maths only gives it an extra 6% to trigger. Doesn't seem worth the 65 points. The Foul Blightspawn has a kind of mediocre ability (unless combined with the putrifier) but has an absolutely insane looking gun. D6 auto hit attacks, 2D6 S, -3AP and 3 D.

thing I've ever seen in a gamestore.
a bit about how they're already tax-paid items and that the state can't do that, etc. He knows about these things, "... because my accountant told me. He's helped me with all kinds of little things like that. Since I'm way below the poverty line I get all kinds of exemptions and such, especially because of my wife and kid."

Zuul the Cat posted:Yeah, they probably just didn't want to drop it off. This is surprisingly common. One of my friends frequently used to get 'we tried to deliver but you weren't in' cards when he was at home in the living room basically next to the front door, the postmen literally couldn't be bothered bringing the package and knocking so they just carded without trying. I had a similar issue when I got my gargant shipped, the delivery company reported 'invalid address' and I had to chase them to get it redelivered. When it turned up the original label was still on it and perfectly legible, and was my old office address I'd had tons of other stuff delivered to. I highly suspect the actual issue was it was a big package they didn't feel like delivering. At least in that case I has some time off anyway and could get them to redeliver it to my house.

Can someone clarify the plaguecasters rule for me? I can't tell if I get the free mortal wound whenever I roll a 7+ on a psychic tests or when I cast a psychic spell which has a difficulty of 7+ If it's the latter I think I'll just run him as a counts-as sorcerer

I can't tell if I get the free mortal wound whenever I roll a 7+ on a psychic tests or when I cast a psychic spell which has a difficulty of 7+ It's the former. It's a fun little bonus but at a 7" range you're only getting it right before a melee. Still, a free wound on a big target can be clutch. The other difference is +1T and Disgustingly Resilient for only 8pts, which is pretty great. The basic Sorcerer offers customization and Force weapon options, but I prefer the survivability of the "real" Nurgle caster.

Yeah I had in my head that a chaos sorc was 70-something points, the extra 8 points on the plague caster is well worth it for the survivability. Giving him the staff relic for d3+1 mortal wounds on rolls of 6-8 and then D6+1 on rolls of 9-12, per turn, sounds pretty nasty.

Can anybody give me a hand with Primaris scaling? My local club is running some kind of PRIMARIS-ONLY event, everybody takes one Primaris character. I've ordered the boxed set Lt off eBay because gently caress paying £20 for a model I'm only going to use for this event and airbrush practice. What scale are the shoulder pads? Standard Marine size, Terminator size or different? And the helmets? I'm thinking of putting in some conversion work on my dude so he's different to the 10s of other identical Lts I expect, and was wondering if I can use the Emperor's Children FW pads, an old EC metal pad or will have to use the bigger Terminator-scale ones I picked up at Salute.
