I am amazed they made a plastic Guilliman without a bunch of those leather strap-things they stole from Roman armor. The Forge World version has them and this new version is somehow really lacking as a result. Give him a cape or tabard or something. Looks like the foot-braziers are actually part of his base though, thank gently caress. They haven't gotten that stupid yet, at least.

Do you have a problem with personal portable braziers heretic?

Question: has anyone here ever just stopped using an army, quit it cold-turkey? Just said "gently caress it" 100% and sold off the bits?

If so, why, and do you regret it?

I had a wood elf army back when there were virtually no plastics (mono pose bowmen I think) . I sold it off as I rarely played the game. More recently I sold off all the Space Marine stuff I was starting to accumulate because I realized I'm a completest and since SM will always be getting updates and additions, I would never stop buying them. Plus they were really boring to play.

I have sold off lots of various army stuff that I got as parts of bulk lots and could have used, but had no interest in at the time. As of now I only have my 40K Orks, a smattering of models for WHFB and 40K. Most of which are fated to become models used in other games, like making a Viking army for Saga out of Dwarves.

Out of all the stuff I still have I look at most of it as money spent, so breaking it up for sale, or discounting it to sell in a bulk lot doesn't much interest me. I may not do much with some of my minis, but they don't take up much space at this point and the money is already gone, so I don't sweat it. As for regret. I may have some small regrets about some models, Tau fire warriors, Orc & Goblins from fantasy, because I could conceivably use them in other systems, but I don't really care that much. The only real concern is that I don't succumb to too much retail therapy and filling the hole in my soul with more plastic/pewter just because I can.

Plague bells. They were used to remind people to follow plague prevention rules - funny when you think that the Death Guard would prefer you forgot about those rules.

I like to think they are co-opting the bells and using them in an "Omar's coming" kind of way.

I have a couple of terminators that have this same banner pole setup, does anyone know a good solution for actually putting banners on them? All the bits I've been able to find are banners with the crossbar piece molded to the banner. If need be I could probably snip off the existing ones and use one of those, but I have to imagine there was something designed to go on those originally, right?

The old banners were paper or stickers.

It'd be fun to kit up a bunch of warboys, but with boyz mobs' size, it'd cost an arm and a leg.

The Battlewagon has twice the movement the Boyz do before charging, so with proper positioning you should be able to make a good charge.

Continuing Ork chat. Do Kommandos not suck again? They can infiltrate and (in my quick review of the core rules) it looks like they can charge or shoot on that same turn. Am I reading that right?

I really would like GW to explain why they think it's a good idea to limit armies that only have 3 psychic powers to no repeats each turn.

It looks like most armies have Smite + 3 powers (possibly 2 schools of 3 powers) .

This edition definitely isn't Psi-hammer. I am ok with this.

Some more thoughts...

Warbike HQs make a lot of sense. The Warbike gives Bosses and Painboyz a lot of flexibility with respect to managing auras, toughness goes up by 1, and Warbosses still gets to throw pet attack squigs at people. What's not to like? Big Mek Bikers might also be useful for giving coverage to nearby units with a KFF. Or you can fit a loving bike with a Shokk Attack Gun why the hell am I even thinking when I could be doing this.

I would love for someone to look at the "Keepin' Order" rule and tell me WTF it's supposed to mean. Individual models don't flee?

I think GW hosed up; the Blitza-Bommer is better in all ways than the Burna-Bommer and is also cheaper.

If an ork unit fails a morale test and would have models flee from the battle field as a result. If a Nob is 3" or less away from the unit that just failed it's morale test, roll 1D6 for each fleeing model and on a 6, they don't flee.

:orks: Leg it boyz, we's rumbled!
:orks101: Oi!! Get back here ya filthy cowards or I'll krump yer meself!

I think my biggest complaint is that there's no good way to get a poo poo-ton of Boyz for a price. Best I've come up with is still about $2 each.

You needed to buy low, when ork players were giving up on 40K during 7th ed.

Now that they don't look like utter garbage their cost is climbing again.

E: I can't lie. I'm very happy I sold off my Space Marine models and decided to keep my Orks. I like kit bashing them and I figured I'd spent the money already, so why not keep them? Who knows, I may even play a game of 8th edition at some point?!

Here's some fun math. Within the Space Marine arsenal there are three ranged weapons that are capable of, on average, taking out 13% of the wounds of a Land Raider in one shot. For those keeping score that's 2 wounds.

Only one weapon in the arsenal can do better, but it can only be used once.

This is a terrible riddle.
