As something of a military historian, (the veteran of many viewings of Saving Private Ryan and have an advertisement for the book Killing Lincoln sitting on my toilet tank) I know that approximately four rounds of shooting must be spent shooting Frag Missiles at the side of the Chimera (named after the Chinese Zodiac) in order to create dramatic tension for my youtube battle report (I aim to please my devoted following within the lore fandom).

BobFromMarketing posted:Thank you very much. That was quite literally how the sniper rule was worded in 3rd/4th edition. Made a mess of certain things, it used to be that Grotesques (now Wracks) could only be wounded by Str5 or greater, if I recall correctly. Sniper was "supposed" to wound them like normal but since it's Str=T wasn't high enough... I think it's been a fixed roll with no Str=T verbiage to muddy the waters.

But a 400 point model choosing Flank Speed that rolls triple 1's for a total of 3" movement? "The shock lance ... is a magneto-hydraulic power spear of prodigious size ..." Oh... oh ho ho oo... oh my!   I see it can gently caress up things in close combat, but not phenomenally well, and has almost no shooting ability.

I have yet to hear any drama at all about ChaosMailOrder or TheWarStore, why don't you people save the trouble and go there? http://www.thewarstore.com/ http://www.chaosmailorder.com/games-workshop I didn't see a GW link on the Warstore page, maybe they finally dropped them because GW are such miserable cunts. Many, many stores got burned when GW said that online retailers were no longer allowed to use GW imagery or even mention GW product in their online stores.

PierreTheMime posted:Ugh, keep forgetting about the vehicle exclusion. :/ But but but they all have Crew: Space Marine. What, they removed the "Crew" section one or two editions ago to prevent confusion about spess marine drivers and guardsmen drivers jumping out of their destroyed vehicles?  It was hilarious when Imperial Guard could take an Escape Hatch. That 150+ point Leman Russ you just destroyed is actually only worth half Victory Points (or none?) if the screaming, on-fire Tank Driver model was still running around on his 25mm base. Tadhg posted:I've never understood this. I mean, yeah, there are some notoriously lovely and/or goofy metal sculpts out there that should only see the light of day in a "remember these pieces of poo poo?" post every so often. But there are a ton of great all-metal lines, such as the Vostroyans or the (mostly metal) Woods Elves, that I absolutely love. A nice metal model feels solid when painting and playing, and live a hell of a lot longer. Metal minis have a bad name mainly because the blisters end up being something like $18 for two models. That hurts. They're also far more difficult to convert and pose. What are plastic minis missing? A nickel superglued into the base, that's what. It definitely helps them feel more substantial on the table rather than just a flim flam throwaway unit. Sorry, $20 for three models: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Battle-Sisters;jsessionid=7D327D06D924673EC9F2FBF87FA9A336 So.... $60+ for one squad. Ouch. It is only within the past year or two that the plastic kits have been butchered into squads of 5 that cost more overall. Post 9-11 User fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jun 4, 2014 |

TheChirurgeon posted:I like that the plastic minis seem paradoxically more durable. I'm less likely to see paint chip off them at the edges and when I drop them from really short heights, I can expect they won't completely shatter. Also, hauling around a bunch of plastic minis is way easier because of the lower weight. Let me tell you about having a metal Space Marine Dreadnought. Yeah, I meant to say that plastic minis almost never chip, that is a big plus. Even more fun is just throwing plastic Guardians in the casualty bin Mini Wargaming Style.

Chance II posted:I miss the ease of conversion but I really love not having to glue arms onto sixty dudes for my Steel legion guys. Plastic is great for kill team where I want each model to be super unique but when it comes to massed infantry, there is a sweet spot around 3rd edition were GW put out some nicely detailed metals. If I ever started an IG army it would be Steel Legion or Tallarn. I have a small mess of Tallarn but only enough for a By The Authority Of The Emperor set of Inquisition allies under the old rules. Both sets are seriously great and I would never, ever clip, shave flash from, dryfit, assemble, and paint 100 plastic minis. gently caress that forever. The Cadian models are always cool, too. All of the metal IG models are great because they are noticeably smaller than Space Marines, unlike the plastic Cadians.

I'm pretty sure Victoria Lamb at least has some female heads. At this scale the bodily differences between a man or woman in flak armor is negligible. Brother Vinni's you say?  God dammit, nice to know he's still a magnificently talented person ... who spends his time on fetish models. Definitely go with the Mantic model instead, or the really cool resin one I posted that can have the swoopneck stupidity painted over.

ghetto wormhole posted:Post 9-11 User tell us why you're going to die Spent a couple days repeatedly vomiting after my fiance's latest screaming meltdown in a two month long series of meltdowns she had. Right after our anniversary, before her birthday she said she cheated on me, so I was going to put my brain on the outside of my dome. Between that and the lovely police not lifting a finger against: 1) people trying to extort hundreds of dollars from my elderly father, 2) someone destroyed my cargo trailer which was my one ticket out of here, 3) my neighbor issuing death threats, 4) same neighbor attacking Hannah when I wasn't around to break his bones. Police said it's "harassment" and to call them if he hurts or kills anyone (doesn't matter that I have him on video saying he is going to put my family six feet under, et cetera). I had had my fill, was actually just waiting for the neighbors to do something other than be fat screaming mutants and maybe leave the building for once. I didn't want my body to be immediately disturbed by greasy pigs investigating it. Was going to manually trigger a 9mm round into my skull, was moderately concerned that something would go wrong and it would take many hours to perish. It's been a lousy Spring. Turns out she didn't cheat, I'm out of here anyway. Going to do some fishing and hang out with real friends at a music festival. Sorry for being a fat gay babby.  I was dead set on offing myself but was nagged by the thought, "I want to paint my dumb space horse cavalry." Life cannot get any more stupid than this. I was excited about painting again, finally made enough space in the apartment for my painting station, instead have to pack up my poo poo and escape.

Everyone dies, friends. I think it is more sad that Dr. Kevorkian was put in a dungeon for helping people in real serious crippling pain die peacefully and painlessly as opposed to me being a fat babby and fumbling around with spare ammunition. Suffering is ugly, death is beautiful. Can someone please make a DEATH IS CERTAIN emot? Better yet, please make an emot for The Fountain. It'll be like  but 100% more Tree Of Life. If you make it, I will purchase it. Thank you for the concern, I have been in therapy and talked to the doc the other day. When she dropped out of therapy my anxiety level spiked, that she get help for her laundry list of abusive behaviors was my red line for staying in the relationship and she bailed. I haven't been going outside much lately, was shocked to find that I don't have to wait at home knowing any minute she'll burst in the door yelling at me or call at 3:00am saying she's lost in Harlem. There are nice people I can talk to outside, fresh air, no screaming, no blame! Good pizza. Babe Magnet posted:60 pizzas incoming Yeah just send them to me, this island has great pizza. Tell the delivery person to expect nothing but a gaping maw at the door. I'll leave the door unlocked, just toss all 60 pizzas in there. Did Rough Riders get a strange new name like Wyrdvayns?
