It seems Ad Mech are very popular at the mo, eBay is awash with the Necron half of Forgebane, while the Ad Mech side is significantly harder to find, and more expensive. I'm so close to taking the Ad Mech plunge myself, but I really love the 30K Robits like the Thanatar and don't like Skitarii, so I can't quite bring myself to pull the trigger.

That and IMO it's in some ways easier to pretty up a metallic-heavy model like skitarii compared to that sweet spot of being too flat to get away with that too much, but too complicated to pull a space marine lining and call it a day. Also, babyknight vs. roboworm.

ineptmule posted:There are some great clubs in London if you find yourself here again. The London Wargaming Guild meets on Mondays and is really central and there’s a major club (that I’ve never been to) out East called HATE (they are a Wargaming club and not a far right group, honest - it stands for Hackney Area Tabletop Enthusiasts... I think I’d change the name if I was given the opportunity Resident HATEr checking in - that name's never changing. Although we've decided to spell out the acronym more these days... Corrode posted:I know a bunch of the HATE guys from back in 5th ed, half the club is basically crusty punk dudes with awesome armies. They're usually pretty fun although at Starsmash one year they ended up falling out with everyone because one dude was drunk and yelling at the top of his voice the entire Saturday, to the point that if you were near him it was hard to even talk to the guy you were playing against. The problem was solved on the Sunday because he'd lost his voice Is it bad that off the top of my head, this could easily describe 4 or 5 people at the club?

Yeah I got some AdMech Forgebane stuff the other day when it was still plentiful but at this point I might as well see if I can get a discounted box somewhere because I'm not going to save much and I can use the Necrons for kill team or something in the future.

Except ours is rather special and so will be around for years to come because it also doubles as great gig/performance space. We have storage space out the back, which lets us keep all our terrain/etc. there instead of shipping it about twice a week.

Last year I went and basically hoovered up business cards for any places that had models I wanted, so it's still useful for that. There are loads of tiny businesses that you'd never find otherwise. As for places in the SW - tried Dark Sphere? It's Waterloo but probably easier to get to than the other clubs mentioned. Pretty decent shop (although I've heard rumours they're a bit poo poo to work for) that has tables that can be booked for games.

It was a little annoying at the time but funny in retrospect. Toby was the dude in the story, he had a great renegade(?) Guard army. I think there's an annual HATE vs. Vanguard thing that goes on? I wasn't involved, I'm not really in Vanguard any more. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Gaming clubs are private institutions with dedicated spaces and everything, right? Yeah in the UK it's mostly a group of dudes renting out a village hall or something. American-style dedicated game stores with table space etc. are becoming more common here than they used to be. My city's one is very good and there's a ton of us now who aren't in clubs but just play through the Facebook group there.

That's really my biggest complaint for 8e marines, Chapter Approved marine chapters were pretty cool, and some old characters are in a weird situation without a way to hand out that keyword (like Elam Corbray letting nearby FIRE HAWKS reroll 1 hit rolls....but FIRE HAWK units dont exist except for Elam himself). I mean obviously in casual games with non-assholes they should be willing to let you just count your dudes as <chapter>, but pretty awkward for RAW tourneys. Minotaurs can go piss off (despite being a cool and practical concept) due to the Grey Knights/Inquisition binary of "most of this unit's power is stuck in facing certain armies".

None of that is a problem? You just use FIRE HAWKS instead of <CHAPTER> and then pick a trait as normal, exactly as the codex tells you to.

I'm having trouble finding the exact article I'm thinking of but this is sort of close: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/18/choosing-the-right-chapter-tactic-for-your-successorsgw-homepage-post-4/ Mango Polo posted:I see. 8th Edition truly is Amazing and Good beyond comprehension.

Safety Factor posted:Even so, wouldn't Space Sharks fall under the standard marine codex and not the Blood Angels one? Their 7thed rules gave them Fear and let them replace bolters with chainswords or buy another melee weapon at a +1pt tax Blood Angels' do an alright job simulating this with easier wounding (with Tyberos providing the extra STR half) Fluffwise they're a Raven Guard (but that tactic doesnt gel with them too well) GW recommends White Scars for carcs apparently (and isnt bad since Tyberos is about them deep strikes) My bet is if they got 8e rules they would probably get loyalist Night Lords rules. Especially since they're hinted at being chimeric Ravens and Lords. Neurolimal fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Come down on a Sunday, if the travel to zone 6 is too severe for a weekday!

I really wish GW would provide rules for Inceptor Captains, Inceptor Lieutenants, and Gravis Lieutenants. I think that would go a long way towards adding some needed flexibility to Primaris and Marine Armies.

Randomly eating models seems like an extra weird drawback when Chaos has....quite a few ways to teleport and deep strike and summon cheap units already. I like the fluffy aspect (vehicle that eats people! OoooooOOOOOoo) but yeah, gone in the first place for a good raisin. e: reading the PDF, I could see this actually not being too bad if your interest is in the drill itself (and can keep it alive through a turn), since nommed units heal it. Rock Eater seems pretty fierce. Sub Assault applying aoe wounds also seems great for mobs but I assume that's in both versions, and is more of a threat to cultists than marines.

Meh, it could be worse. I own both an ork Mega Dread(which has yet to get rules for 8th despite still being sold) and a Plague Hulk, which has rules but they ducked up the keywords so you can't use it in anything but a generic "chaos" detachment. (Both demon and nurgle keywords are in the regular keywords section rather than the faction keywords)

That community video owned. Got a response from Borderlands Games: they put in their pre-orders a week early, GW froze their account, they're a mom-and-pop single store in Oregon, and pop has major medical issues. Lastly, they'd be willing to give me some sort of deal to keep my money. I have no idea why it took a PayPal intervention for all of this to come forward--if any of it is even true.
