As a Chaos player, I'm totally fine with the Heldrake nerf. A significant drop in power, but it's still a really useful model for the points. What I can't believe is that Shadows in the Warp is left unchanged (and therefore, useless). Then again, I reckon Tyranids getting shafted should really stop surprising me.

Lungboy posted:The Eldar FAQ states that Psychic Pilots can generate powers from Daemononology in addition to the spell listed in their army entry. How does that work? It's ML1 so surely it doesn't get any additional spells? I don't know HOW it works, but the idea of a sleek Eldar craft speeding toward enemy lines suddenly exploding in a shower of gore and turning into a Great Unclean One is too marvelous NOT to happen.

In regards to the assault discussion, my local club has taken to using huge, LoS blocking pieces of terrain. It adds to the grand scale of things, and really changes the way assault plays. Static forces have to be careful they don't get snuck up on, and mobile forces have to be careful they don't get split into a position where they are unable to support other parts of the army. Makes for some pretty fun games without changing the core rules a lick.

A bit of shameless cross-posting in an attempt to catch some of my fellow warhams. I have a kickstarter for resin terrain that went live earlier today. 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! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48375726/resin-terrain-for-miniature-gaming The objective markers:  Some examples of the area-terrain system in action:  Edit: Aw hell, I almost forgot - the area terrain options include landmines! That way you can take a beautiful idyllic forest, and turn it grimdark and brutal.

ANAmal.net posted:There's some stuff on BoLS about Space Wolfs, apparently everyone gets a pistol but you have to trade out the bolter for the chainsword if you want the extra attack. I don't see a problem with it, since at present I'm pretty sure that compared to my Dark Angels, Wolfs are giving up stubborn and "paying" negative one points per model, to get +1A, counter-attack, and acute senses. The fact that one of the revelations provided by the gods of Chaos is the knowledge of how to use a holster never gets old. Silly loyalists still haven't figured out that you don't have to carry everything you need into battle if you've got pockets.

I finally finished my 2000-point Nurgle army! Just in time for the Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge in September. I suppose I still have a display board and one piece of set decoration (a Land Raider that has been hit with a vortex missile that Fix made for me, so it'll fit into our team display board), but being done with the army proper feels great. I'll never have to paint green again... except for the fact that I need to update my Wood Elves ...

Playing with this army must bring back all sorts of wonderful memories of playing with action figures when you were a kid. Fantastic stuff! Edit... Torrent on a Hellstorm template? Eldar sonic lance. Combine it with a scatter laser on a Lynx and you're wounding all infantry on a rerollable 3+ and rolling 4d6 and taking the highest 3 for armour penetration (with failed penetration rolls being rerolled).

Genghis Cohen posted:loving YES! God bless you. I bet those special rules have some sort of leadership risk (LD seems to be split on the statline, 8/5 - perhaps it goes down under certain conditions to represent the corsairs cutting their losses if the battle turns against them?) but presumably a benefit as well. The Craftworld Eldar special rule, Battle Focus, while insanely good, doesn't benefit jetbike units. Wild guess here, but I'm guessing the first big number is what they use until they break, and then they rally on the second number. Once they run, they keep running. I'm really stoked to see IA11 getting a redo!

Ok, so there's a lot to like here. The fact that you nailed my penchant for eating skulls is  ; however, I don't see any way for anyone to end up with the name Bloodstorm the Stormcaster.

That's pretty isolated, but the Pac NW is wonderful for gaming. I'm up in Bellingham, but there are pocket communities that all travel to game with one another all over. Check out ordofanaticus.com . It's pretty much the hub for a loose coalition of gaming clubs in the region. There's also a great event-not-a-tournament put on every summer called the Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge. When you coming out? EDIT: I should clarify. I live in a pocket community where I don't have to play against jerks, and everyone is pretty chill. From what I understand some stores or areas have a fairly lousy competitive vibe, but there's enough good folk in the region that it's not too hard to find decent human beings to play.

Cross-post from the Oath Thread. I'm really excited about the Eldar Corsair re-do, as I started working on a Void Dragon Corsair list several months ago. I hope the army is such that I can still use what I've painted, and don't have to ally Eldar and Dark Eldar to get the vibe I'm after. Here are some shots of the Wave Serpent. I had intended to use an airbrush on it, but I didn’t make it past basecoating the charcoal color before I caved in and painted the rest by hand. It was super fun to paint – all those smooth curves and big flat areas were perfect for practicing thin layers and trying to smooth my blending.   Everything is magnetized, with the option of switching between the underslung shuriken cannon or the shuriken catapults.  Here is another min-sized squad of jetbikes. I’m varying the red stripes between squads to make them easier to tell apart on the battlefield.

It's like Muppets take Manhatten but with goons in the Pac NW. With the advent of the 30k plastics I reckon it won't be long until I have a proper 30k army, but even if not, I've got kinder armies than the Eldar (whose dresses mostly sparkle).

Post 9-11 User posted:Beautiful, Jetbikes and all. I would clean-up the black edge on the lens of the shuriken cannon, though. It's a bit odd that the canopy is the same color as the hull, limited color palette owns, though. Thanks! I wasn't sure what to do with the canopy at all. I didn't want to use more than 3 colors, and didn't want to try and manage a clear windshield with a painted space-elf inside. Given those limitations, thins was the best I could do. Honestly, I always thought that the idea of a clear windshield on a space tank was silly, as I always reckoned the folks inside saw through sensors and what-not. I wish they weren't modeled with windshields. Seriously great airbrush work! These look fantastic. That crisp white trim really sells it.
