Apparently if you have Scout and Infiltrate , you can Infiltrate then make a Scout Move. That's kind of neat.

There is no limit to the number of units you can place in reserve, though if you have no models on the table you will still lose at the end of a game turn. Units from reserve can manifest psychic powers as they please.

Starting to pick up some pace on my 30k Salamanders. They're pretty quick to paint to this standard (going for the FW weathered look rather than crisp edge highlighting) but wondered if anyone might have any tips to make them stand out a little more, if anything? I know the bases could do with a little more to them but it does the job for now.

I think you guys don't understand what foundation is. It's just something that evens out skin tone and it helps get rid of blemishes. No one would know if you were wearing it and it'd actually make you look better.

I'm saying if you do a battle report and are on camera look your best. It's just a professional thing of course I am a theater performer so I have different standards.

When Weird Boys first came out it allowed Orks to get a "Wauugh"-like move every turn. Then, 6th happened and it became irrelevant.

Leman Russ tanks have that rule that lets them fire sponsons along with ordnance, now all vehicles get to do it but the Leman Russ still snap fires. Huh.

I have a 1000 point game tommorow. My opponent's list is unbounded and he is bringing a loving Stormlord. I am playing IG, how do i take down a Stormlord?

Begone, vile temptor! Good thing I have no money, I would love to snag those robe-bros, would probably make them into spooky death company (I have Dark Angels and Blood Angels, trying to model and style them to be mix-and-match as I please).

I hear a lot of people say that the Dark Angels codex doesn't really hold up, and my main interest is in Deathwing. Is it any good?

I'm used to selling these things in pairs, since HeroClix is a 2d6 game, but I understand you guys use... lots of dice, all at once? How many dice would you want to buy in a set? If they're $5 a die (so $10 a pair, $25 for 5, etc.), does that kick the price point too high?

As for Chaos Drop Pods, didn't they have them in Dawn of War?

Those orks rule.

They remind me I need to get back onto my Firetrukk project. Has stalled a bit while I figure out how to do firefighter helmets for my burnas and look for a properly size firetruck to loot.

Half the armies in 40k are fascists though, I'm afraid you'll have to be a bit more descriptive.

It's pretty solid with Sisters of Battle and a heap of special weapons!

Why are missiles so popular with the devastators? Is it the versatility? I would have thought plasma could do everything a missile launcher would do except with ap2. Thats assuming you dont take flakk missiles, which seem thoroughly overpriced to me. No ones that afraid of blowing themselves up are they?

Frag missiles were s4 ap6 I thought?

Hollismason posted:

Well it's rumoured Eldar will get a LOW , or big "model". Orks got one, Space Wolves got one, Grey Knights didn't but they have the Imperial Knight.

So thanks whoever talked to me about bikes earlier, I have a Dark Angels Battleforce in the mail and decided to go with White Scars chapter tactics. Got the new codex, borrowed the new rulebook and have been familiarizing myself for some upcoming 750pts games against Tau. Tau, huh? Looks like I'm going to have a lot of dead bikes on my hands. I've been planning to run the following list for starters and see what happens, rip apart at your leisure.

HQ

- Captain, Bolt Pistol, Power Axe, Artificer Armor, Bike; 145pts

Troops

- Tactical Squad(5), meltagun; 179pts
- Sergeant, meltabomb
- Razorback, Extra Armor, Twin-linked Lascannon

- Bike Squad (4), Gravgun (2); 190pts
- Biker Sergeant
- Attack Bike, Multi-melta

Fast Attack

- Landspeeder, Heavy Bolter, Typhoon Missile Launcher; 75pts

Elite

- Venerable Dreadnaught, Powerfist, Twin-linked Lascannon; 160pts

= 749pts

I'm mainly limited by what models I have as we don't proxy here, the only things I have for spare are some 20 tac marines and another dread. That said I'm still really iffy about a lot of things in this list. I expect my opponent to be fielding one or two of Hammerhead, Broadsides or Riptide, so I want to be able to throw some high strength high AP pressure downrange as I desperately try to get my troops across the board alive. To this end I've grabbed a couple lascannons to go with the speeder's TML, but it's all pricey pricey pricey. I might take the extra armor off the razorback to get the dread a missile launcher, as I doubt he'll ever get to powerfist anything without a drop pod. I originally wanted to run the attack bike solo, but felt like it wouldn't pose enough of an individual threat and it'd probably just get ignored until the biker squad got murdered, so I put it in the squad to provide extra wounds in a pinch.

In the future I'm planning to buy plenty more bikes to get some redundancy going, the dread is going to sit out in favor of more landspeeders and attack bikes and I doubt the razorback squad will stick around.

Lots of T5 and FNP due to Plague Marines, but you'll only really see any poison in close combat with them. I'd imagine lots of Plague Marines in Rhinos and maybe Nurgle-marked Obliterators, who are tough sonsabitches.

Sulecrist posted:

Marine players, how do you deal with Broadsides? They're infuriating.

koreban posted:

On that note, I watched a strongarm Tau player get taken to task by Dark Angels pretty convincingly last night. So while they're definitely powerful and laden with high STR shooting, they're far from unbreakable using a weaker SM dex.

PFGs in Land Raiders is a thing again in 7th edition, right? Measuring from the hull and everything?

You run it with a bunch of Ravenwing supporting usually, I think

Wait, are Deathwing good now?

Infiltrating Prime in a unit of Hormas or Gants could be pretty good.

Or Canifex. Can he attach to MCs?

RIP Sly Marbo.

Interesting. At first glance that looks like an actually viable way of fielding a first company.

Posigniat posted:

Thank you very much for the swift reply! One more quick question, due to the number of rules and special abilities, can I keep a visual marker of effects both positive and negative on the board, Warmachine style? If allowed do they frown on it if I do the same for my opponents pieces? I recently watched a YouTube battle report and the tiny group of Space Wolves had about eight special rules per unit and that's a lot of information for me to digest.

Once upon a battlefield dreary, where I cowered, spent and bleary,
Within an Imperial bunker, darkly stained with dust and gore -
As I cowered, nearly shuttering, suddenly there came a sputtering
As some weapon quickly stuttering - firing at my bunker door.
"`Tis some bolter", I murmured, "firing at my bunker door -
Only this and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
And the brightly burning bastions lit the horizon by the score.
Eagerly, on freedom drunker; - vainly had I sought to hunker
In this heavy Imperial bunker - with perhaps a tunnel in the floor -
A safe and empty fortress with perhaps a tiny tunnel in the floor -
Only this and nothing more.

And the mad raving howling of each distant Space Wolf prowling
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before.
So that now, to the beating of my heart, I stood entreating
"`Tis some Space Wolf there repeating, firing at my bunker door -
Some common Grey Hunter rapid-firing at my bunker door -
This it is and nothing more."

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer
"Marine," said I, "or Scout, your attention I implore;
The bunker walls are thick - they are made of tempered brick
And your bolters do not nick the slightest scratch or tiny score -
Not a dimple, dent, depression, dip, scratch or tiny score -
Away now, and fire no more."

Then in the bunker slumping, presently I heard a thumping
A pounding - rattling many times fiercer than before.
And soon I began to screech - the bunker wall grenades did breach;
The very gods I did beseech as the ceiling fell upon the floor -
Through the wounds poured light which danced upon the floor -
Danced amidst the sounds of war.

Then at once it stopped the violence - I was left alone with silence
Confused, I spied the reason why the shells did drop no more -
For as I began to shutter, then with many a flit and flutter
a psyber-Raven flew through the clutter to perch above the door -
Perched on the two-headed eagle just above the bunker door -
Perched and sat and nothing more.

At this I grew more craven, for the talons of the psyber-Raven
Were all over covered with bright red blood and crimson gore.
"Wretch!" I cried, "Njal hath lent thee - into this fortress has he sent thee
So that remotely may he here be - and this bunker then explore -
Scry out my exact location and this bunker then explore -"
Quoth the Raven, "Eversor"

Then, methought, the air grew darker, the bunker now a little starker
For the uttered word brought terror as I had never felt before.
As for weapons, I knew I had none - no bolter, sword or lasgun;
No arms to stop the war's son fated to break soon through the door -
The blood-mad crazed assassin fated to break soon through the door-
Quoth the Raven, "Eversor"

"Be that word our sign of parting, machine or bird!" I shrieked, upstarting -
"Get thee back into the fire-fight and here spy on me no more!
For as you came unbidden - I would otherwise be here hidden -
Leave my location in this midden - quit that icon above my door!
Take thy shining metal eye, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Eversor"

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting - still is sitting
On the pallid two-headed eagle just above the bunker door;
His metal eye has all the seeming of a psyker that is scheming,
To have my guts lie steaming in a pile upon the floor;
And now all hope has left me, crouched here upon the floor
I await the Eversor!
