My own Sunday game with the Agrippa army went much better. We both understood the math and didn't waste any time chit-chatting and slammed the thing out in 2 hours, and then talked about painting for another hour. He was Necrons. Monolith, annihilation barge, walker, flyer, destroyers, and 20 or so warriors. I absolutely slammed him into the table despite losing the first turn and letting him set up the terrain and objectives as a consolation for him not having a Codex. He did what so many players have done wrong in games against me: Become irrationally fixated on taking down the Sidonian Dragoon. That thing absorbed like 800 points worth of stuff shooting at it, and it's done similar in the past - and then the Dominus ran up and high-fived it back to nearly full health. It's so durable and so cheap and for only 70 points it's crazy how much hate it draws. He also focused fire in shooting up my vanguard which was another big mistake. The vanguard are there to catch bullets. He blew every one off the table by the end of turn two, but then the Kataphrons rolled around and opened up with their grav cannons and turns out that those are p good against necron warriors. One turn of shooting wiped all 20 of them. Then the Knight swanned across the table, drop kicked his overlord into the horizon, and then unloaded all its guns into a Monolith point blank and blew it away. I can't believe that thing has no invulnerable save! I didn't use my forge world stratagem, relic or warlord trait at all on account of him never charging me or spending CP, but if I did this well against an army that did none of the things I feel pretty confident against a more dedicated melee list.

Yeah after playing admech a few times my target priority is to kill kataphrons, dunecrawlers, and robots first. I'll put my bolter fire into vanguard maybe but all the heavy bolter and assault cannons and all that are fixated on kataphrons. First game against them gravcannon kataphrons poo poo all over me, blasting whole marine squads in cover apart like they weren't there. I haven't actually fought any ironstriders or dragoons yet.

Dragoons are unbelievably fantastic and I want six of them in my army. I want to replace every single Skitarii squad with another Dragoon. For 68 points you get a 10' move, T6 4+ save that's likely 3+ from Shroudpsalm with a -1 hit wrapping 6 wounds. That alone is vastly better than a squad of Vanguard with special weapons at the same price point, but the Dragoons also get a S8 AP-1 2d melee attack that, for the cost of 1CP on Conqueror Protocol hits 3 times on a 4+. A full lance of them can with average rolls murder a Knight in a single charge. Things get even better with Omniscient Mask/Ryza doctrine. The only catch is they cost more in dollars than in points. But the upside is that they are the coolest models GW has ever produced, have the best fluff of any single unit, and are the reason I started collecting AdMech in the first place.

Thanks bro, Balthasar Gold with a wash of Nuln Oil, and then a quick scruff with Leadbelcher. It’s a simple recipe I have been abusing for a while for Armor trims, was lucky it worked on something bigger.

Huh, never knew, "leafblower" involved fallback moves. In my circles it just meant shitloads of Guard shooting that would blow armies off the table.

There's gotta be a list of the worst dollars-to-points ratios for plastic kits in the game. I know the Dragoon has to be in the top 5 at least.

They're all priced as small vehicles, each their own box. But in game they are made up into units, I think minimum 3, and are pretty trifling in points value.

At least this way most of my force will be painted by the time it hits the table for our game. Cool cool. My army will be in various states of painted because I've gone full ham and bought a ton of stuff and I'm excited about all of it, despite having like 20,000pts of painted stuff already across 5 armies. Post 9-11 User posted:Huh, never knew, "leafblower" involved fallback moves. In my circles it just meant shitloads of Guard shooting that would blow armies off the table. It was a really useful part of the list. You used 1-2 Psyker Battle Squads to drop enemy leadership, shot them up, then used the Vendettas to escort them off the table. It wasn't the main focus, but it was a very useful tool in the toolbox. Thanqol posted:Dragoons are unbelievably fantastic and I want six of them in my army. I want to replace every single Skitarii squad with another Dragoon. Dragoons are great yeah. If I was gonna run pure Ad Mech, I'd have four of them just sitting around screening against DS and turn 1 chargers, then if any survive they're deceptively fast for running off and grabbing objectives or charging small squads and so on. Definitely not cheap though in real world money though which is why I'll be using Conscripts for now.

Looking for inspirations for conversion with my second Gravis captain into either Gabriel Angelos or a Librarian. Anyone got some sweet pictures for inspiration? Played my first game of 40K on Friday, seemed straight forward enough. Sadly didn't get to see a combat phase as the other guy's bikers failed a charge before they got melted by rapid fire. Need more toys....  xlots

GW Just confirmed Eldar are next: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/10/15/coming-soon-a-new-codex-for-the-craftworlds/ - previews next week with pre-order on Saturday Plus announcing some Craftworld dice, separate release of Eldrad from Death Masque and the next wave of made to order being classic Eldar minis. I guess there won't be anything actually new like with most of the other Codex releases.

My guess/hope is that GW is hauling rear end to give everyone a codex as soon as possible, and that they're then going to start a new cycle of releases, with both new models and a new codex. Theoretically, once every faction has their codex, and 8th has been around for a while, they'd be in a much better position balance wise when writing the second round of codexes. Theoretically.

Apparently there are another 4 sets of campaign books (and likely worldwide campaigns) written and ready to go. So I'd expect a fair bit of that.
