I've honestly never seen a good 40k video battle report.

Since I saw that walkers are getting better, are Sentinels any good? I really like how they look.

I haven't played since 5th edition, so exactly how godawful is this list?quote:Tank HQ 600 pts The idea is, the two 25-man guard blocks sit on an objective in cover (hopefully), the tank squad takes out heavy infantry, the Priests go with the Vet Squads and hunt tanks or FMCs, the Sentinels outflank and do the same before they explode. The Vanquisher shoots at AV14 things and tries not to die. I think I completely lack any defense against fliers, and I suspect the troop squads will just get rolled up in an assault. Some of the choices (special weapons squad with that layout) are because that's how the Elysian squads come from forgeworld, but I'm pretty sure I can get some more lasguns if they're better than shotguns.

Hollismason posted:That looks like a good list to me everything is pretty well armoured. What do you have the Psykers for ? Prescience on the blobs/whatever else presents itself, some sort of ability to roll deny the witch. edit: I don't know if I can cast prescience since it's warp charge 2 and they're level 1, I need to get the book.

Bavius posted:So... I haven't seen any mention of fortifications in the BWB. Do we really have to have another book just for those? Of course you do.  There are some fortification sheets in the back of the book but not for things like the Aegis Line or the Landing Platform. long-ass nips Diane fucked around with this message at 16:48 on May 25, 2014 |

Bavius posted:Ugh... Escalation and stronghold should have been rolled in. Fuckin' GW. Well, they "folded them in" by saying "hey these things are part of the game even if you tried to ignore these books last time, go buy Escalation and Stronghold" and the rest is up to you and your wallet.

AndyElusive posted:Whatever. I like gaming and I loathe other peoples drama, and I find that mixed gaming groups tend to have way more drama than male-only groups and that drama tends to make gaming groups explode, which is why Ive run so many unfinished campaigns. The drama really gets in the way of the gaming. In fact, Ive been getting way more into wargaming and getting away from RPGs just because theres so much less drama with the almost entirely male wargaming scene. Yeah, if not for all those drat girls around nobody would be offended by the rape jokes

I kinda want to paint one, but it's pretty whatever rules-wise. Definitely not an army centerpiece.

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:I mean yeah stuff like 'don't smell offensive' or 'don't have oily fingers' all make sense but I think 'wearing foundation' is a bit beyond the call of normal person hygiene. Not if you're specifically filming a video. For everyday gaming, sure, but that's not what he was talking about.

You guys should all come play historicals with me, we can use your 40k models as proxies until you get the 50 bucks it'll take to get a period accurate army together. You can Forge The Narrative by following orders of battle and then have the outcomes determined by player skill! It's everything you want!

TheChirurgeon posted:This reads like you haven't played Magic in 10+ years It sounds like he played it once, poorly, at that. Also it's in no way related to the design of the rules, which is what the fundamental problem some people in this thread are having with 40k.

Tadhg posted:loving hell, this just resonated with me. The loving GREY KNIGHTS codex is two editions old now. The last time I really paid attention to 40k, tables were dominated by Grey Knights and/or Necrons. It feels like forever ago.

serious gaylord posted:I had to do an inventory of my stuff for the house insurance since they would never believe how much I had if it burned down. The value of the display cabinet was terrifying, never mind the cases full of stuff I have. gently caress, this reminds me that my giant plastic tub full of miniature sprues is the only thing I haven't taken pictures of for insurance.

Pacheeco posted:This is when I'm glad I have a good group of friends to play with. Marbo gone? Not anymore! Want your Bike Warboss to make Ork Bikes troops? Sure, no problem! Some of the changes the newer codexes received are just dumb and I don't really like anything that restricts the game solely because "We don't want to make that model anymore". Literally all of these things will come out as dataslates

Hollismason posted:That's actually interesting on the patent trolling issue, what patents could GW hold, I'm sure they actually have some patents, but do they hold patents on Game Mechanics? In the US at least, you can't do that with game mechanics outside of specific terms. It's why every card game has to use a different word for turning a dude sideways instead of just stealing "tap" from Magic. You could publish a 40k clone tomorrow if you changed all the rule names.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:The five dataslates might be interesting but $50 for 112 pages seems a bit much. Yeah... a bit. I hope the planetary invasion rules aren't poo poo. BTW do you want to buy this terrain set for 250 dollars? Please don't look at the cost of our competitors' fortified structures.

Thundercloud posted:Just a term for recasters. They were banned here on a case-by-case basis during 6th, but the tournament rules for 7th haven't really been nailed down yet and nobody seems to really care about forgeworld as much as they do arguing about unbound in general.

Germ posted:Hold on, there, a second. Am I right in reading this as basically a collection of all of the 30k armies? That seems like a screaming good deal and a wonderful idea. A bit TOO wonderful, so I'm suspicious. Or is FW just the kindly aunt to GW's abusive uncle? All of the Space Marine armies. You'd still need the HH books proper if you want to play Mechanicum.

It also has to kill something by rolling a 6 on its grasping talons attack to get that 4+ FNP so you can't exactly rely on it
