I could swear I've read an expose by someone who auditioned as a painter for BTP, or was briefly employed by them, or something. He basically said they tried to screw him at every turn and had really skeevy working conditions.

From what I've heard they have a compound where they pay you min wage to paint models and charge you rent to live in the compound. Not sure if you have to live there to work there but I wouldn't be surprised. Dude comes off pretty creepy because he's Mormon I believe

Then you have some classic, iconic Tyranids that are just plain bad. This is really the saddest part. Genestealers and Carnifexes deserve better. (And I maintain that carnifexes would be great if they could take spores again.)

Though I did bog down a squad of marines containing Lysander in assault for five game turns by spawning over 70 termagaunts from one Tervigon. That was fun.

Calgar lost his sweet choose to pass/fail leadership tests special rule, but he has his terminator armor with the beacon and that allows sweeping advances. Bring him along with a Demi-company and you are looking at 3 turns of refolls for your guys, not to shabby.

Question, chapter tactics still don't apply to vehicles, right? It says they apply to all models, but vehicles still don't have chapter tactics as a special rule. I assume Iron Hands are the only exception since their rules specifically mention vehicles, is my reading correct?

Also, Telion and Chronos also got an extra wound, which is nice. Really thinking about bringing a Demi-company and 10th force to my next tournament.

I don't think it's as bad as everyone is saying. They're putting a big push on Sigmar, but I don't think you can extrapolate it to 40k. Sigmar is the new product, so they want to push it hard. By the end of the year, I would imagine things would be back to the status quo.

They started unbound, formations, and no maximum model count in those formation requirements on the 40k side. It is definitely the direction they're going.

If what you describe happened to 40k I would probably not like it - but I'd give it a shot. I would then either grin and bare it, or find another game/hobby. It might depend on what my group did as a whole.

Unfortunately I think a lot of guys are just going to give AoS their love and devotion even though in the back of their mind they know it isn't good =/ There are so many good games out there right now, GW isn't the only show in town anymore (for those people, not pointing this at you directly).

Magnetizing stuff is fun, painting multiple fiddly bits that aren't glued in place is not.

Diameter, not radius. I can fit one into the wrist of a space marine, that's pretty small.

I brought Fulgrim, Eidolon, 20 man assault marine squad, 10 man tactical in a rhino, 10 man palatine blades, sicaran Venator and a spartan. Fulgrim and palatine blades rode in the spartan. It worked OK but I think I'd drop Fulgrim for more AT if I had stuff painted.

My first game was against an all tank Iron Warriors list and a drop pod Ultramarines list. We had to control certain fortifications around the board it just blew. My partner played mechanicum. We couldn't blow up tanks because we had to concentrate on two drop Melta squads a plasma squad, gulliman and some suzeirain or whatever they are and two tacs. It wasn't fun.

My second game was against white scars with flyers and tacs in rhinos with some bikes and salamanders with fire drakes, vulkhan , and tac squads. It was a lot closer. My partner had iron Warriors with pertuabo and he kicked rear end. My army did what it was supposed to do - assault quickly and sweep people. We won but it was closer.

Overall it was fun but it's 40k so there were definitely some blowouts. I don't play nearly as much as I used to so it was probably enough to tide me over for a while

These look great. I love the Guilliman figure - but on the table he doesn't look like he is in combat enough

If I had him I'd magnetize his feet so I could put him on a less shelf like base. Something that looked like a battlefield.

Good customer service when you f up is cool but they've also been pretty bad at doing the weekender - my buddy went for a second straight year from the USA and was super disappointed.

The event you were talking about was taken out of Forge world's hand and was put into the events team's hands. They royally screw this up. However the thing I will say for them, is that they typically learn from their mistakes. It is unfortunate that your friend traveled so far to have such a bad experience. I think I know who it is you're talking about. I was engaged with somebody talking about this on a Facebook page.

I have yet to go to a forgeworld event. I have only gone to black library events.

Does Eidolon count as a praetor for the purposes of command squads in 30k? So if he takes a jump pack they can too

Cant Legion command squads take jump packs any way? And i'm pretty sure he has master of the legion and isnt a centurion, so it stands to reason he could take a LCS.
E: just looked, any model with master of the legion can take a Legion command squad. So a Delegatus could take one too, neat.

AFAIK they can only take one if their praetor takes one.

And the legion special characters with master of the legion are specified as praetors in the red book entry of the command squads retinue rule. So yes they can take a pack if he takes his.

Can you quote it? Not trying to be difficult, but it won't let me do it I BattleScribe and I suspect it's because the catalog author didn't see Eidolon as a praetor. It says specifically "if the command squads praetor has a jump pack..."
