I'm a pretty old SW player, if you want I can do a proper writeup for the OP. A writeup befitting space vikings :colbert:

Well, thats it. After 8 years in the 40k hobby, I've finally had enough. 7th edition is the most breakable edition of the game yet, thanks to one loving thing. When I realized you could potentially spew out 60 plaguebearers a turn, thats when I just said gently caress it. Taudar I could handle, even flier spam. But one ETC player arrives in the local meta and it all goes to poo poo. gently caress.

God loving damnit GW. Space Wolves first trying to nullify a power on a 4+ diceroll, and then using deny the witch which denies on 2+ because you have 4 runepriests. :psyduck: :psypop: :psyboom:

Rulebook Heavily posted:

They only get that bonus when they're personally denying. You're still rolling sixes to stop blessings and conjurations because as written no UNIT is denying on those rolls. But at least you're close to immune to witchfire and curses!

Not really, the exact wording is "Furthermore, a model with a runic weapon adds 1 to Deny the Witch rolls" It doesn't specify that he has to be the one denying the witch.

The BRB states that "If none of your units were the target of the enemy's psychic power you can still attempt to Deny the Witch. To do so, follow the same process, but apply no modifiers to your dice rolls."

We had the danish national team over at our club for practice, and they basically just stacked and threw our terrain on the shelves after they were done with it.

As much as I love Mindshackle Scarabs, I look forward to the wailing and gnashing of teeth when it is eventually nerfed (it will be). All Necron players tack on the 15pt upgrade and call it a day. It's fantastic how long the Necron codex has translated between editions, but I can't imagine it sticking around in the next book (or at least not being 25-30pts).

Never underestimate GW

I have come up with the greatest idea for a 2000 point unbound army. The Imperial School of Artillery! 80 Masters of Ordnance, dropping the equivalent of a tactical nuke every turn.

By that logic of course Guard would be the first 7th ed codex, which... would actually fit well, considering the specific inclusion of Tank Commanders as characters and the whole "Take Aim!" and Precision Shot rule shenanigans.

And Daemons being the first 5th ed. Codex. It all makes sense now :stare:

I could watch that grunting video all day, I'm surprised its only fifteen minutes. I think the "every incomprehensible Arnold Schwarzenegger scream ever" is twice that long.

Hey guys, since Games Workshop decided once again that we can't have nice thing and shut down Battle Wagon bits, what's a trustworthy place to get bits at a fair price?

I checked the OP, don't see any mention of bits vendors. My brother got four boxes of Shock Troops, I want to give them proper weapons and maybe Cadian arms.

Where do you live? I have a loving shitton of cadian bits you can have if its feasible to send.
