Also I would like to point out she is hold the pulse rifle in a way that is not conducive to firing, but instead it is almost suggestive but not too blatant. A really interesting detail of the model, and one I think a lot of people miss, is she is holding her weapon in a way to leave the observer wondering if she is wearing anything behind it or if perhaps she is naked. Anyway I hope this has cleared up some confusion. I don't think the paint job is good, it doesn't really catch her seductive curves correctly in my opinion.

Ted Theodore Logan posted:I have a few questions about formations and how they work when building an army. I have the new eldar codex and it is the first 7th ed codex I have bothered to get (have not really played a game of 40k in about 2 years). From reading the codex chart it says that to play the aspect host or seer council I must have at least picked one of the guardian hosts first. Now if I have picked the windrider host and the seer council does that mean I combine the two together so I just add another farseer to it and the original farseer and warlocks from the windrider host become the seer council or would I end up with 3 farseers and 2 warlock conclaves? Is there any way to make a list so I do not have to play a 500 point tax to just get some other special rules? I love playing with aspect warriors but I hate vypers and each guardian hosts need at least 1. Not quite. Formations are things that can stand independently on their own without needing any other requirement, so you could potentially take just the Seer Council if you wanted- you don't need any other Eldar or even other models of any kind, theoretically. However, what you're talking about is slightly different- the Craftworld Warhost is a special "formation of formations" that has certain additional requirements (and additional benefits) for the units within it. If you wanted to take a Warhost, you need to take one Core choice (i.e. either the Guardians or Windriders indicated on the leftmost side of that page), which then unlocks other options that you can also take. If you do take, say, a Windrider Host and a Seer Council, the Seer Council will function as its own unit that cannot break apart (as per its own rules.) All of the units within the Windrider Host, however, will act just like they normally would- so you would have a second Warlock Conclave unit that is separate from the one you get in the Seer Council as well as another Farseer that is allowed to join or leave units as he pleases. Also note that you don't have to take the Craftworld Warhost if you don't want to- you can still use the "old" Force Organization Chart as presented in the rulebook and add in a Seer Council as well if you want to. The "special" detachments presented in codices aren't required to play a faction- they're just an alternate way of doing things. Slimnoid posted:God dammit. They're not great, but they're not awful. Inside a transport they do alright, and if you ally your GK with someone else that can get Drop Pods for them to ride in (i.e. BA/SW right now) they can be fairly dangerous with all of those Incinerators.

Right, lovely battlereport: I had an Ork tide - 3 mobs of 30, one with a warboss and painboy. All sluggas. Then two units of Lootas, 2 of mek guns and a unit of tnak bustas. - I found out that Lootas are now heavy support so went unbound. I like unbound.  The first time my army has been entirely painted and based I believe. Good times. Eldar: two seer councils (one with Eldrad), a windrider council with jetbike farseer and 3 units of bikes with 5 scatter lasers.  Eldar had gone all in on psychic shenanigans. He then proceeded to roll 1 fortune power between all 5 farseers/warlocks. He did, however, get two Eldritch Storms. I then proceeded to roll a 6 to seize. Warlocks and Farseers without fortune are squishy. Orks 1 I charged forwards with the Boyz. Between the Lootas and lucky rolls with the small blasts from the Kannon I took out 6 walocks, the jet-bike warlocks and leave 2 more farseers with one wound. I kinda thought that was the game. 2VPs for holding Objective 5 and for holding objective 1. Eldar 1 For some reason he moved forwards with both the seer councils. The guy still had 25 dice for psychic powers after the losses turn 1. He proceeded to cast 2 Eldritch storms at apocalypse blast size. Fortunately it was on my Boyz squad with a painboy. Still killed half of them! My Boyz squad in the middle saw 50% of their number dead between the Eldritch Storm, the bikes and the Viper. 30 Boyz dead  end of turn 1 Orks 2 My Boyz ran forward again. My lootas kill 4 jetbikes including 3 Scatter lasers and my Kannons whiff on killing Eldrad. They put one wound on the psychic dick. I call a Waagh but after low dice for my runs I require two sets of 6 to get into assault with Eldrad's unit. My Boyz on the left flank manage to get into assault with the seer council hugging the long board edge. A few Boyz die in exchange for wiping out the 2 farseers and warlocks there. 2 VPs for Assassinate and Ascendancy Eldar2 My opponent realises he made a mistake leaving one council in assault range. He has lost power dice! Everything retreats and Eldrad proceeds to cast Eldritch storm on perils, fucker kills 10, my Painboy and drops my Warboss to one wound. Between the remaining shooting and another Eldritch storm he kills another 10 Boyz from other squads. My Warboss' squad fail leadership on a 10 and run away. He scores 2 VP for Assassinate and holding objective 2  end of turn 2 Orks 3 I fail to rally the Warboss and he continues to make haste towards my board edge. I shoot the lootas and kannons at Eldrad. The guy steps up and makes 17 saves. - Fortune is a bitch. My tankbustas have moved forward to try to destroy the Viper. They glance but fail to blow it up. 1 VP for hold the line  Eldrad, furthest forward and zero fucks given. Eldar 3 The Jetbikes move back out of range from the Kannon and Lootas. Eldrad, fresh from dodging bullets like Neo blows up the Tankbustas with an Eldritch Storm killing all 12. The rest are polished off by the Viper and remaining scatter laser Jetbikes. The middle Boyz squad eats a large blast template Eldritch Storm from the Jet Seer and is dropped to the Nob on one wound. 1 VP for wiping out a unit in the shooting phase. Orks 4 I rally the Warboss and run away with what's left of my Boyz. Its getting closer on VP so I need to deny the Eldar the Warlord kill! I move the unit to capture Obj. 5 but put my Warboss at the back. I shoot all my Kannons and a squad of Lootas at Eldrad again. He continues to tank like a boss and takes 1 wound so is now down to 1. The remaining lootas blow up the Viper. 1VP for hold objective 5 Eldar 4 Seeking to stay alive the remaining council run around the building to hide themselves from most of my gunz and to get line of sight to my Warboss' unit. Jetbikes move up the flank, hiding behind the building and seeking to ready themselves for a linebreaker dash. The decisive moment comes when I nullify the Fortune cast by rolling 3 sixes! The Eldritch Storm from Eldrad kills all but two Boyz and the Boss from my Warboss' unit - I pass the leadership test. poo poo is tense.  End of turn 4 Orks 5 I move forward with Lootas and Kannon to get snapshots at the Eldar hiding around the building. Without fortune I manage to kill Eldrad, theJetseer and a Warlock. - The game is called here. 4 VP for slay the Warlord, assassinate, overwhelming firepower & supremacy Final score Orks 10VP Eldar 3 VP A bloody game. The guy went all in on psychic powers and hosed himself by only getting 1 fortune. In spite of all the damage I did when I seized, the game went to turn 5. If I had not denied fortune I doubt my snapshots would have been enough and my opponent had a good chance of getting 4VPs. If my opponent had not left a seer council in charge range he also would have had enough dice to reliably have thrown down two apocalypse sized templates a turn. Eldrad both tanked my army's shooting and killed 15 Boyz a turn with Eldritch Storm. gently caress that guy and gently caress Eldritch Storm. My Boyz' job was to be a meatshield for my shooting. They delivered. Edit:  Cowardly hiding Eldar Raphus C fucked around with this message at 00:08 on May 23, 2015 |

It's another reason I never buy direct. Some models have so much release agent they look like they have a gloss coat. You might need to soak the son of a bitch in degreaser, but the actual issue is that the resin has absorbed so much release agent that it sweats it. You might try warming up some water in a pot and throwing your primarch into it for a good long while. This will likely deform the gently caress out of your model though, so I'd probably just write Forgeworld an email saying that you're upset and this is unacceptable.

I'm a bit late on the Dreamforge chat but I ordered a pair of 1/100 scale Leviathan Crusaders with multiple weapon arms (each one has the rotary cannon and sword plus a HEL Cannon and a Nova Cannon) and these kits are, as the kids say, sick as gently caress. Very poseable, good amount of detailing (I can put the armor plates on or leave them off and I'm thinking of doing that with some pieces as I'm using these as Dreadknights) and the weapons look badass. I'm really happy with these and already looking at buying the other weapon options.

I just looked up 'cult mechanicus' and 'skitarii' on google image search and i'm pretty sure this is the same drat army right here. Each book is like half the army. So imagine you had one codex for Grots, Killa Kans, Big Gunz, and Weirdboyz, and one codex for everything else. It's loving strange. There's a persistent rumor that they'll get a third book that lets you take both, but I think it's more wishful thinking than anything else. It'd still be useful if you wanted to take pure Skitarii or Cult forces to get the separate smaller books, like the Miltarum Tempestus codex that's separate from the main IG codex, but it's still frustrating.

Omar al-Bishie posted:so I have some killa kans. how bad are killa kans? They are useable but really awful for the points. Kans suffer from being the jack of all trades and master of none. Consider that a unit of 6 with Rokkits costs 300pts. For that you could have 12 Buggies with TL-Rokkits or, more relevantly, 15 Kannon with 10 Ammo-runts! The Kannon will be just as tough, will have more firepower with the re-rolls and also have the small blast template to deal with grouped models. Mek Guns are incredible and Kans can't compete with their firepower. If you want assault you are also better off with using other units. Kans pay a stupid premium for the off-chance that they will be able to assault anything. GW has a weird point scheme for walkers. Raphus C fucked around with this message at 07:15 on May 23, 2015 |

My friend has a nicely converted kan horde. They're just so loving bad. Seeing as tons of units now carry Krak grenades and probably have a better initiative than 2, even if they get into combat with 2HP there's a recent chance they won't even swing.

Omar al-Bishie posted:so I have some killa kans. how bad are killa kans? Not good. The best you can do with them are the grotzooka / scrap launcher / whatever the template thingies are called. Maybe massed big shootas as well? Just don't mix and match weapons on them or they will hella underperform for shooting. Loosing the S10 in close combat kind of killed their utility as anti-vehicle. Rokkits are HORRIBLE on them, it is just other units (buggies / koptas) run rokkits better and generally cheaper. Yup, running them up front as a shield with scrap launchers and threaten 2+ armor units / light vehicles in melee is about the best you can do with them I imagine. They are usable, just don't expect them to last the entire game.

Omar al-Bishie posted:so I have some killa kans. how bad are killa kans? Servicable, as long as you take nothing but grotzookas. Use them to blow the crap out of infantry, and be a menace to armored infantry in melee, but don't expect anything piloted by a gretchin to be spectacular. Their main boon is that your opponent will probably need to divert some anti-armor firepower to deal with them, so they'll be more valuable if there's a few other vehicles in your army. Also keep in mind that you can take them in units of 1, which is a good size to use as an opportunistic nuisance.
