Cooked Auto posted:Lost the chance of getting a Mars Pattern Leman Russ hull as a command tank by getting sniped at the last second. I bought a Stygies Vanquisher turret and Mars hull from Forgeworld very shortly before they stopped selling both of them. It makes a loving badass command tank. They have so many cool things they've stopped making, it really sucks. China might still be making them though

Cooked Auto posted:I still have a Gryphonne IV Vanquisher turret or a Demolosher waiting to get a body aside from the crapRuss that I've got still soaking. In this case it was just the hull and no turret. Oh my bad you're right they do still make the Stygies turret. They used to have Mars hulls by themselves until a year or two ago though.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:holy crap the Chinese are getting advanced They've been putting out recasts that are higher quality than anything you'd get directly from Forgeworld for years. And the resin recasts of plastics are almost as good as the originals. Once you've painted up a resin recast knight anybody is gonna have an extremely difficult time telling the difference unless you weigh it maybe. Actual plastic sprues are pretty neat though.

Foul Ole Ron posted:Just got my hands on a recast kit but have no clue what extra care needs to be used with this stuff. I mean there's really no way of knowing what they used. It could be deadly nerve toxin or something safer than what Forgeworld uses, who knows! I do know that I put a bunch of them together and I appear to have been unscathed. But yes like BlackIronHeart said just observe normal resin safety and don't hit it with a belt sander and then huff all the dust.

About 10,000 posts behind and a couple years out of the loop. I just saw the thread title and checked the GW website. The new edition FAQ seems promising. Did someone take the GW execs' families hostage and force them to be more straightforward with the community? Is GW better now or does everything still turn to poopy ash when they touch it? edit: I missed all y'all (formerly ghetto wormhole here)

xtothez posted:I remember reading a fuzzy scan showing a special rule for russes where they take mortal wounds for misfiring plasma weapons instead of exploding. Emergency Plasma Vents, take 6 mortal wounds and it can't fire plasma cannons for the rest of the game. The regular Leman Russ probably has the rule too it's just cut off in the picture. Although 6 mortal wounds is still pretty fuckin' brutal. Fortunately there's that order you can give them that rerolls 1s to hit. Tank commanders have a 3+ to hit so Vanquishers might be pretty good command tanks.

Awww damnit, they made the Deathstrike Missile real lovely now. One shot 3d6, 4+ to hit, then each hit is a mortal wound. Then you roll a d6 for each unit within 6" to and they take d3 mortal wounds on a 4+. That's like 5.25 wounds on average? What a fuckin' joke. And it's harder to activate! edit: It actually might be pretty good (or at least funny) for nuking expensive characters but it's garbage against weak troops lol my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 12:20 on May 31, 2017 |

The volcano cannon on the Shadowsword is S16 now! Am I missing a rule or can battleforged armies bring detachments from different armies so long as the detachments are made up of units from the same faction? IE a Necron detachment and a Chaos Daemon detachment in the same army? Also is there anything stopping you from taking so many auxiliary support detachments that you have zero or negative command points? Other than that you won't have any command points to use obviously.

PantsOptional posted:RIP power armor inquisitors, apparently. Inquisitors seem pretty garbage now. 55 points base, they get to choose a pistol and a ranged or melee weapon (but not both!) No power armor or any other upgrades. I guess they can be a psyker for free now though? I'd rather have all the customization instead. Also why would anyone ever take wyrdvane psykers over an astropath? For 15 points the Astropath removes the cover bonus from an enemy unit within 18" and can actually have a decent chance of casting his non-smite power. A minimum size unit of wyrdvane psykers costs 24 points and can't pass psychic tests worth a poo poo. For 48 points they can be slightly better at passing psychic tests but still worse than a regular psyker...until they get blown off the board because they're T3 models that can't hide like a character can. I guess they don't have a chance of rolling perils and dying from that at least? Primaris psyker seems ok but his improved statline and force stave isn't really worth paying 40 points when he still isn't going to do well in real combat and I could just get two astropaths for 30 points and cast two powers instead of one. An astropath backing up a Leman Russ or conscript blob with psychic barrier would be pretty sweet for really cheap.

chutche2 posted:The astropath costs 21, but yeah. Seems good. Switch his staff out for a laspistol and save 6 points. He's got a better chance of hurting something with the laspistol anyway. edit: Ministorum priests are about the same as before, so meh, but even less potentially useful now that regular guard blobs are gone. Might be ok-ish with bullgryns now actually! Techpriests are much more resilient than before and don't have to pay the servitor tax to repair stuff. Not too bad not too good either.

Corrode posted:Yes this. I still don't see what was wrong with USRs conceptually - yes there were too many niche things which were USRs, but the basic concept of "when a rule is generic it should be defined once and referenced everywhere" is a good one. The current version is like if you reprinted the movement rules on every dataslate for ~easy reference~. Agreed. They definitely needed to clean house and get rid of the 54 USRs which were only used by like 2 units each (Zealot and poo poo) but the concept itself just makes sense. fake edit: I'm the flayed ones' charnel pocket-dimension.

Huh, Forgeworld is still including rules for the Dominus Siege Bombard in the new index despite it never having a model. Even in 6th and 7th editions I don't think there was anything else that remained in the rules unmodeled that I can think of?

Painting for profit is basically impossible unless you're very good AND very fast. Even if she's an accomplished artist she's never done miniatures before so it's pretty silly to say she should sign on with a professional company. And really the only one of those I've heard of was Blue Table Painting which was essentially a first world sweatshop pumping out poo poo quality paint jobs. By all means try and make a little side cash painting, but do it on your own terms.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The consequence of rolling a six is that "the model suffers D6 mortal wounds". Mortal wounds spill over, so if the model is killed then the extra mortal wounds continue to move on. The thing that really interests me is that, for Orks, is one of the most viable ways to inflict mortal wounds on a target. Orks seem to be really good at doing lots of damage to hordes, but suffer against monstrous creatures and vehicles. As variable as this weapon is it definitely seems like it could do some serious damage to nearly anything. The other advantage is that it protects anything inside it (like Lootas) with 30 wounds at T10. Another option that appeals to me is to look at Plasma Obliterators fitted with 10 lootas. The fortification is only 190 points (versus 430 for the missile strongpoint), but it really runs the risk of hurting itself with a mortal on wound on every 1 in 2d6 attacks. I'm so mad about how bad the Deathstrike is. And it's equally bad against everything! For 163 points you get to kill 5.3 grots or take 5.3 wounds off of a knight. What a loving rancid pile of poo poo. You're going to do about the same amount of wounds (albeit with armor saves) with the stock heavy bolter over the course of the game! And you have to roll an 8+ on a d6+turn to even be able to fire the loving thing. gently caress you whoever wrote this poo poo, you loving suck at your job.
