Does anyone know anything about how weirdboyz are going to work in the new codex? I have two of them that I've lovingly converted and I would just be tickled pink if they turned out to not be the worst psykers in the game anymore.

Meeplemart has a good gaming space for 40k, though they recently moved locations and are now a bit south on Spadina. Dueling Grounds is between Lansdowne and Dufferin station with a basement holding some nice terrain pieces, but don't expect a pick up game there easily. Not sure when DG has it's 40k nights but I think Meeplemart's still on Sundays. There was talk of Meeplemart possibly banning 40k after the last round of GW bullshit they had to deal with but I seriously doubt that'll happen in the near future.

My games have been few and far between lately, but I've usually got Sundays free if you're having a hard time finding a game.

Meeplemart recently got annoyed at GW about the 7th edition release, so you might call and ask if you can still play it before you head over.

Not really. But bitching about bitching is incredibly stupid. If you don't like the moaning, change the channel. No amount of "Not this again" will make it stop, so just go read/watch/do something else until a week after the codex drops officially. Or if you insist on staying here, accept the fact that GW fans can also be it's greatest detractors and quit crying about people bagging on new releases.

Not meant to be cutting, but why is anyone surprised that people belly ache about new stuff from GW? And if it is so bothersome to scroll past posts that gripe, maybe a few regulars of this thread should think about taking a brief sabbatical until the codex is out. Though admittedly with GWs new release schedule the griping may never let up.

Mantic skirmish rules are on the way in the near future. So is the third edition of Infinity, with tighter rules and better translations. For that matter you could use the community edition Necromunda rules if you want a skirmish level game.

That is so vague it could be anything. A new campaign, a new data slate, a new starter set; who knows?

And is it Orks and IG or Orks and Space Marines? How do the Knights factor in? I know GW love tight control around their IP, but since I know leaks will be only guesses I'll just wait 5 days and find out. Being annoyed by this fact is not the way to hype your game GW.

Looking at the Ork codex I just obtained, two things stick out. The buggy profile uses the old as dirt model, so probably no plastic buggy. And Ork boys are now squad size 10 max as opposed to 10-30. Which seems like a huge problem with the new mob rule and other stuff that winnows down your squad as it moves across the board. Or am I missing something here?

The problem with a sideways move is that orks are already very uncompetitive, and they really needed a buff.

I haven't seen the ghaz book, and I don't know what data slates are, but I'm feeling nervous after putting a few lists together. Sure I've got a decent number of bodies on the field (95 infantry models and 8 vehicles in 1750), but they're all quite fragile and will be extremely susceptible to morale.

Without heavy armor, my nobs are gonna get taken apart in challenges before they can even swing. This is depressing to me.

And my heavy support slots are hosed, unless I can pull off some weird shenanigans with dedicated transports.

Edit: but we'll see. I still don't have the 7ed book because they aren't selling it by itself [gw worst company], so my understanding of certain rules is still flawed and incomplete. I'm excited to have kombi skorchas on my infantry squads, certainly!

Can't argue with the price, it's a heavy discount.

Except I don't want SW and the heavy iconography makes them tough to use as a Vanilla Chapter, and I don't need 3 more nerfed walkers. I'd take the Nobz, War Boss and Grots, but I have scads of each of those already.

That said, if you are new to the hobby, this set is pretty great. Which I guess is why rumors of GW hating Grogs and courting kids always float around.

You get 1" 2" 4" and 6" for 12" just have a standard ruler to hand. Most distances covered, only one hand required.
