It just allows Orks to behave the same as they did when their last codex was released originally, before Fleet was changed. Potential 18" armywide charge turn 2 with rerolls on the charge dice is crazy good

All of this MMO shite for 40K is just ridiculous. Look at Planetside 2. Study it. Take this formula. Translate it to 40K. This game is begging to be loving made Imperium faction: Start as a guardsman, upgrade to a stormtrooper or specialist. Can grab the variety of tanks from the vehicle pool for an armoured assault. Perhaps pilot a Valkyrie. As you level up, you can become a Space Marine. Heavily armoured, and in limited numbers on each side (they have similar mechanics in Planetside I believe with mech suits). Perhaps on each time at any one time there could be 5-10 Terminators. Xenos factions: Eldar are a no-brainer for various specialists. Higher level players could be farseers, and Wraithlords/Avatars. Orks - start as a yoof, aim to become a nob. Could be a Mek, or a loota, driving ramshackle vehicles which are cheaper to make and maintain. Tyranids - start as a low-level 'gant of some sort, with the advantage of instant respawns. Then a warrior, then the different mid-level biomorphs. Their "tanks" are Carnifexes, and their "flyers" are someone "piloting" a flying MC. Upper tier creatures are super warriors and/or a Tyrant or two. I mean come on, am I crazy to think this? Three continents in PS2 - could be the same in a 40K FPSMMO. You don't need to have all game factions, just have Imperium + Eldar + Tau vs Chaos + Demons + Orks vs Tyranids or something Forgive me if this is already being made, I haven't been following the MMO chat since there was that Dark Millennium one, I dunno what happened to that though.

I've got my hands on an Imperial Knight + a Leman Russ Punisher through a mate - both are unassembled, but I don't have any instructions for them. Does anyone have any copies of the instructions that they could email me? I could probably trawl the internet but I would assume someone in this thread has them to hand, so wanted to ask first!

Question: Can you take multiple force org charts in a single bound army now as long as you fulfil the min requirements? And if so, could you split the Ork Warband (which gives you extra waaghs etc) between 2 force orgs?

I thought ard boys in a trukk weren't bad for a unit kept in reserve then launched onto the board to coincide with a waagh. The reach they have is considerable and reserve means they don't get shot up until they slam into something and beat it up.

I read Bell of Lost Souls' article and... well there doesn't seem to be a Games Day this year. At all, anywhere. No Golden Demon or anything. What the hell is happening? The models are gorgeous, sure. The prices have gone up, but so has kit quality (leaps and bounds). But GW seem to be slowly throttling everything outside of the physical models themselves.

Post 9-11 User posted:Golden Demon existed primarily as a marketing tool and a way to fire sale extra stock. It was kind of gross how the crowd barkers would call out at the end of the event, "50% off!" An hour later, as people were packing up: "60% off, come and get it, get 'em while they're hot!" An hour later as people were leaving: "80% off, everything must go!" Supposedly, people who purchased full price could get coupons or refunds, but it was rare that anyone claimed it. It was a nauseating feeding frenzy. When the heap of Warhammer stuff they had for sale finally disappeared, the staff high fived and hugged (this was Chicago GD the two years I went). I've been to one in the UK in I think 2009 I need to check my tickets. It's whichever one was the last great Games Day, the year space wolves came out. Awesome conversion corner where they chucked bits at you for terrain and models (still got those conversions!) an enormous battle of prospero which was great to drop into, about 50-60 mini tables where you could pick up and play, golden demon, hundreds of displays... I had an awesome time travelling up with my semi local GW. Year after I read about it and they had none of that. Completely missed opportunity.

Just loving depressing if, above all else, 30 straight years of golden demon is tossed away without even a loving announcement. Just quietly killed like they hope noone notices. A real punch to the gut as I used to pore over the winners as a kid, loving seeing the detail on them. Really sad if they kill games Day. It has its own Wikipedia page! Sadder if they kill it without a loving acknowledgement like some weird 1984 doublethink - there was no games day

I maintain a unit of ard boys in a trukk coming on from reserve combined with a waagh is great - they can absolutely pelt it up the field and hit combat with no casualties bar overwatch, and then beat the gently caress out of a target. Really worked in the last game I played vs Orks. But they do cost similar to like 30 foot Boyz.

I compare these supplements to wizards of the coast products - the Book of Vile Darkness, a comparably sized tome with roughly the same amount of rules and fluff, is $30. That's the kinda price I'd be happy to pay (~£15). Not £30 for a single book.

HiveCommander posted:Hell, in this day and age there's a ton of nice miniatures that aren't oiling the communist machine directly that make great stand-ins, it's just that you can't use them in GW stores or they'll kick you out. Mantic have some great not-Thunderfire cannons and their non-Deadzone Orcs* look pretty drat good and are all a lot cheaper than GW's ones. Amen brother. For the price of a single GW thunderfire I can get over 4 Mantic standins which are very nice. Admittedly no techmarines, but those can be kit bashed.

Rofl that is probably the most imbalanced box set yet. Five nobs with a 6+ save would mostly die to 1 round of shooting, and the Kans would be absolutely violated by the Terminators. Also looks like the least content seen in a box set, and its probably more expensive.

Just played a last stand stronghold assault variant against a friend who ran a Green Tide from the new supplement. Oh my god. Yeah it costs like 1000 pts to have a mek boss and painboy, but 5+ invulnerable 5+ fnp Orks is ridiculous. A punisher landed 34 wounds and killed 6 Orks. I lost hard but had a great time. Highlight of the game was five Marines sucking it up, charging the undamaged Morkanaut, landing a Melta bomb on it and one shotting it for the glory of the Emperor. Glorious!

Yes basically KFF works for models within 6". Stick it near the front, aka where most of the shooting comes from, and you're only going to be taking wounds on models in the KFF. I mean in my understanding even if I had a wyvern in front of the unit which targeted units at the back you still allocate wounds to front models. Basically it's just 100 angry Boyz with a decent save, making it hard as gently caress to chip away at the unit. And in this game there wasn't much else to shoot at (100 Boyz, 5 MANs, morkanaut). And it was a last stand game so heavy support only arrived turn 3-4. Not bitter in the slightest was just shocked at how tough the Orks were. KFF being an invulnerable is nasty now. If you buff Stack Orks they become very hard to deal with. Feel no pain is rough.

In addition to some area terrain and other basics, it also includes some simple resin objective markers that are designed to work with 40k (40mm, numbers 1 through 6 for tactical objectives, with an extra 2 and an extra 3 for The Scouring). Take a look! These look boss as gently caress. How much for UK shipping if I pitched $12?

The Morkanaut is a support vehicle, and a fairly good one in my opinion but for larger point games only. Its got survivability and if given some Meks can only be taken down by a one shot rolling a 5-6 (AP1-2). I like it but I understand its not super optimised. I wanted some advice now that Im painting up my Knight. I want a nice dark green, and I like how caliban green -> warpstone glow is looking but I want to get a decent wash on it to darken it up. I have a set of the older washes (devlan mud/thraka green etc) and new black and brown (Nuln/Agrax) washes. What do you guys recommend? I was then going to edge highlight with Warpstone after darkening the overall green. Trim colour will be black.
