Hey, I LOVE your podcast. It's essentially what brought me back to this game after years away.

I have the book now if you have any specific questions.

Also I did this because I hate myself and everyone around me, but I especially hate money:

Man I wish I could get my hands on some Russes cheap just to be able to do that.
Or just some neat Infantry/Tank combo FOCs.

Something which I've tried but Ebay sellers always seem to be the highest shipping cost to Sweden that they're capable off which makes it never really worth the effort in many cases.
I keep getting somewhat jealous whenever I hear Ghost Hand and the others on IC talk about deal they make at various game store sales and such because that just isn't a thing here except possibly in the major cities which tend to have decent gaming stores. Even if they never do that kind of thing best to my knowledge.

I see they have fixed the rules about assaulting and shooting between rooms in a multi-part building by just excluding them, so that's pretty fantastic.

So I dunno if this got posted in the old thread, but I saw this:

It's not like namedropping Citadel products is anything new (remember kids, your models will explode if you don't use high-quality Citadel tools and Citadel super glue).

Crazy Ferret posted:

I do have a question about the new rules. I read on the 3++ blog that a weapon cannot allocate wounds outside of LOS. Does that mean if I have a mortar or some kind of artillery weapon that scatters behind a wall on models the weapon crew cannot see, the damage is negated? Does this affect the Hellhound's torrent attack?

Played my first game. So fun. So fun.

Tactical objectives own so hard it's unreal.
Played an ork buddy. He summoned demons on me. My thunderfire wrecked all his troops but due to tactical objectives he was winning until the final turn. Continually changing game dynamic and it really made me think each turn to score maximum points. Psychic phase was smooth as silk. Challenges are no longer busted.

My librarian went demonic, fired off soul flames and beams of death, before getting warp charged and staying his warlord. Then he went into CC with a kan fired a demon beam, blew up the kan behind the kan he was fighting, and then his head exploded from perils.

10/10 would blow own head off again

Also gently caress you whoever mentioned ebay I just logged in and ended up buying that mail-order captain.

To be fair, that the sprue hasn't been a part of the lemon russ kit for quite a while now (last codex).

What's wrong with gargoyles? (I just rounded out my army with 30).

Proletariat Beowulf posted:

"Objective Secured" was the gargoyles' special snowflake gently caress YOU power ("Skyblight?") not only to contest, but cancel your opponent's contesting an objective. Now all troops get it, so they kinda got shat on. That said, do they even get it if you don't take the data slate formation for it? I figure it'd be hilarious to have an unbound 'Nid army full of gargoyles infinitely respawning and laughing other assholes off of objectives.

DO IT TO IT posted:

I use them, but don't play Skyblight. I just make a big stupid line of them across my deployment and use them as meatshields until they die. It's silly how many times people will spend their entire turn 1 just gunning down 15 unupgraded gargoyles and not even looking at the more important stuff.

drgnvale posted:

I haven't read the rules (I'm not going to my LGS and paying full price for this poo poo, I'll wait for the mini-book), but I thought the rumor of unbound armies not scoring had been frabricated. Everyone scores, but battleforged troops get objective secured (and skyblight gargoyles).

xtothez posted:

I just noticed they severely nerfed Blind. It now works like a grounding test - a single roll made at the and of the phase regardless of how many Blind attacks were successful. So Gargoyles can't benefit from it on the turn they charged, and there's a good chance most units will just pass the single test anyway.


They're a 30pt unit with a crappy save, mediocre range + BS for their shooting weapons, and get ID'd with ease. Generally the only good use for Warriors is as synapse and a supporting Barbed Strangler to try and pin units. If Warriors were 20-25pts basic I'd probably take them more often, if only as cheap Synapse and objective holders.
Shrikes die in droves to bolters thanks to their terrible 5+ armour. While they can make it into combat fairly easily, you're looking at throwing Terminator level points to make them any good at it, and they'll still drop to a single powerfist.

LordAba posted:

For laughs I took a chunky unit of gargoyles in front of a brood of 3 CC carnifex. Cheap as hell.

Opponent took his 5 man kitted out thunderwolf squad, charged into the gargoyles because they were in the way, and killed them all. So I charge in, smash attack with 9 attacks rerolling to hit all at S10 to instakill the entire squad in one go. Best thing ever.

The point is moot with flamers, whether or not they get cover from blast markers depends on whether or not Games Workshop bothered to write rules for whether or not models inside transports get cover.

Probably not

Because, "gently caress you." That's why.



Realpost, the cynical side of me thinks that most of these changes are just meeting a corporate mandated minimum quota of changes to justify the new edition. Psychic phase aside, there doesn't seem to be anything groundbreaking or inspired here (and the psychic phase really does feel like a poor imitation of Fantasy's magic.)

I deal with underclassmen college students a lot, and this really does feel like finding a wikipedia copy/paste in a paper with a bunch of random changes made in order to make it look like original work.

serious gaylord posted:

The smash attack reduction is directly a result of the flying circus daemon prince lists. Same for Swooping MC's being unable to charge on the turn they land.

Oy, I decided to pull out the unpainted ~1,000 point Salamanders army that I've had since 2012. I still don't know how to play this game or anything and this poo poo had been sitting in my closet or garage unpainted or unfinished in that time. Go me~

According to Dakka, they have been ordering GW stock from Wayland direct to the customer's address.

edit: Order from Element Games. The discount isn't as good but they're rock solid, always arrived next day for me.

Just like "pro painted" stuff, they're either dumb themselves or banking on a dumb target market, and it's a tossup as to which.

Dear lord, that thing is disgusting. Giger, rest his biomechanical penis sould, would go "That's too much".

100% sure that came from some jerkoff material a creeper on DA came up with. The other stuff on there is almost as bad. The creator really has a preggo fetish.
