SUPER NEAT TOY posted:The power blades are honestly so I can only buy 2 models and not have to mix and match buying 4 Castellax; likewise 50 points of the Praetor is spent on Warsmith+Cortex. He's a big investment but the Castellax are a big part of the list so I think it's worth it. Who gives a poo poo about WYSIWYG. I bought some MM Castellax too and I sure as hell won't be counting those saws as power blades.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Now that their book is out, have they given any indication when we can expect to see some raven guard for 30k? Unless there is a surprise release, we have no indication of their models coming out in the foreseeable future. Usually FW will show their upcoming line up at events and that gives a good indication of what they are focusing on. They've shown nothing of the RG yet, so...

30k chat, I have really not followed most of the 7th edition changes. How have they impacted legions and the mechanicus forces? As far as I can tell, legion psykers are poo poo now because they can't be fielded in large enough numbers + take a HQ slot (except maybe Word Bearers?), but mechanicus forces seem to have received a nice boost with Objective Secured?

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:So this is what I'm thinking of doing for low-point games Couple of things: - I would give each Thallax unit a Multi-Melta. Photon Thrusters are nice, but you pay a big premium for a tool that doesn't mesh well with the Lightning Guns. - Empyrite is nice protection, but at T5 W3 they're already plenty resilient and the points can be used elsewhere. - The Magos is a huge point sink for only three plasma shots. Resilient, but he could get tarpitted. An idea might be to get a Castellax in there (85 points), tool-up the Mago for melee, and have both smash stuff in the proverbial dick. At low points a Castellax should make a lot of people angry.

PierreTheMime posted:It would have to delicately lean down from its 40ft height for such a thing. Being so tall the drat thing can't even use its ridiculous talon-claw-things properly against infantry. It would have to resort to punt-kicking things with its dainty hooves. Nevermind, I think I put more thought into justifying that model that the modeller did. The actual design behind the model is: It's a giant lictor. With the Hive Guard helmet cuz it's cool. And it has scything tal... no, double scything talons! And rending claws... but it needs some tentacles so... tentacle-rending-claws! And it has some biomorph on its chest that does.

). I can't wait for it to have S6-7 and a ton of wounds with no decent save and no D-strength anything, having to resort to single Smash attacks which it will miss 1/2 the time because it will be WS3 for no goddamn reason--another glorious Apocalypse-level Tyranid model design. The thing is a Liefeld-level failure visually. And I LIKE Tyranids.

One of the better designed heroes. He's super fun and pretty drat good. The Hive Tyrant needs some gimmick build (pet bombs if I remember) to be effective from start to finish, but to be fair he's not the only one.
