7thBatallion posted:I'm thinking of stripping some of my Tyranids and redoing them as such. http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/homehort/pest/tent_caterpillar_biology.htm There was an article in one of the recent GW publications (WD I think, though I can't find the article) that explained how Phil Kelly did his swarm (google 'phil kelly tyranids' for pics), which was incredibly easy and quick - Black Spray, followed by Gloss Coat, and then Yellow detailing on the ridges. Might help for what you're going for. Fix posted:The example of Citadel-only scenery rules in this book has a particular other close-to-home example. Recall that a little while ago our own goon Germ was selling vehicle explosion markers via a kickstarter campaign. Guess what doesn't exist anymore? When Chimera explode now, they do so so completely that they don't even leave a crater behind anymore. Thanks, GW, for sticking it to a man! How ripped off everyone who bought that stuff will feel when they realise that all they're left with is just some great looking terrain pieces.

I'd introduce that junk to a couple land raider redeemers full of assault terminators, maybe throw in an imperial knight or two for good measure, and then afterwards discuss the merits of not trying to take the fun out of playing a game about plastic spacemans.

I've finally answered my longstanding question of what I'm ever going to do with all the space marine captains that keep piling up. Unfortunately I didn't quite have enough to fill 1850, so I had to add a few other HQ choices in the mix as well. This is a really brutal Unbound army list no question about it, but I'm not sure I want to run it because my opponent might think I'm too cheesy. What do you guys think? code:Texmo fucked around with this message at 05:02 on May 27, 2014 |

So the gist of the last few pages I'm getting is that Blood Angels players have the black rage about the fact that the GW design team has decided their codex-adherent chapter really ought to act like one and that they now have to use formations, or *ugh* unbound (which is as good as forcing you to spend money to keep playing the game apparently), if they still want to run their assault-marine-only armies, and are pounding their blood fists on their blood chests for the return to the heyday of the Matt Ward codex?

BULBASAUR posted:It's ok for GW to invalidate my army and invested hobby time/money because no, it's never ok for GW to update the rules to the game, especially not when there is an explicit exception in the rulebook called 'unbound' which allows people to continue playing with their existing collection even if it no longer adheres to the updated rules' force organization. Really we should all still be playing rogue trader.

BULBASAUR posted:Unbound was an extremely clever move by GW because it can be used to justify literally any design decision they make. But it's nothing new. You could go unbound since the game was written. It doesn't justify poor design choices or business decisions. Keep in mind that you're defending codex design decisions introduced by Matt Ward that GW are rectifying while also not completely invalidating people's collections. The Blood Angels are a codex-compliant chapter; only Ward's book has featured assault marines as troops. It also featured Blood Fists, and infinity-attacks death company dreadnoughts, so make of this what you will.

Slimnoid posted:4th edition white dwarf codex first introduced them as troops, actually. I stand corrected. However, my point still holds about people still being able to play with their collection while still having the rules updated to reflect their codex-compliance. Those who want to field lots of jump troops in battle-forged armies have also been thrown a bone in the form of some pretty ace looking jump-centric formations.

DJ Dizzy posted:Can someone identify what sort technique is used for the red here? Chiming in a little late here, but I don't think this is the usual mephiston red + agrax wash + highlights which produces a blood angles type brownish-red, the overall tone seems more crimson than brown to me. My guess is the basecoat is Mephiston Red, then washed with either Nuln Oil or Carroburg Crimson, followed by a layer of Mephiston (leaving the shade visible in places), a highlight of some pinkish-red layer like maybe Evil Sunz Scarlet or Pink Horror with the red glaze, and possibly finished with a glaze of Bloodletter (more certainly if nuln was used earlier, this would give it a more reddish tinge). Try experimenting on some things with those colors (What, you're saying you DON'T have the complete paint box? what kind of Imperial Citizen are you?), you'll probably figure something out.

Hollismason posted:In actual 40k news, have they released the Harlequin Painting guide yet or is that still unreleased? I wanted to see if it was any good. Most of their painting guides are good. Specifically want to see how they do their diamond pattern. The diamond pattern had a guide in the first Harlequin WD; the gist of it was do a full coat of brightest color, then draw diamond fishnet outlines on with a thin brush, fill in the pattern with the second colour, and then tidy up the black lines and add highlights to the color.

Got White Dwarf 62 sitting in front of me, with the Skitarii Ruststalkers/Infiltrators. Both variants have the same Dunestrider rule that the chickenwalkers have, the +3" move/run/charge, as well as 2W, 4+/6++/FNP. Kinda makes up for their wimpy T3. They're a bit pricey, but I can definitely see them getting some use.

So, as the saying goes, even a stopped bell tolls twice a day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7qAWauBAkM In other news, how the hell are other armies supposed to kill a single wraithknight, now that they're gargs? The only things I can think of are blasting it with your own D, or meleeing it with TH/SS terminators, or force hammer GK's.

Uroboros posted:I suppose snipers in general always wound on a 4+ right? then again the chance of them saving is pretty high so it isn't reliable. Grav-Cents, or a couple squads of bikers with Grav/Combi-Grav could likely put the hurt on one. Also, a Lascannon team might be able to put a couple wounds on one per round, but yeah that is still a bit of time to burn through 6 wounds. I don't know what else you would do other than tarpit it... nope; sniper wounds on 6, as does poison, thanks to it being a garg creature. It also has FNP, and will always be able to have at least 5+ cover due to being able to place it's toe in some crater somewhere.

Hollismason you've made everyone real aware that you're gay, I'd think you of all people would be happy about getting the D. This Eldar book is looking really bad. They fixed the wave serpent problem, and yet managed to make the book apparently MORE powerful than it was before. Wraithknights with perpetual 4+/5+ from having their toe on cover, and wizard babysitters, were bad enough already without them being FNP gargantuans with stomp and D-Guns.

Looks like "Assassinorum Execution Force" is a proper boardgame and not some dinky little thing, which is a pleasant surprise. Shame it's loving $125USD, though I can't say I'm all that surprised, this is Games Workshop after all. Flicking through the white dwarf, the rules for the assassins are identical to what's in the existing dataslate - it says as much in the issue.

Doctor Borris posted:Hey guys I played my friend and I have some more questions. The sisters codex is up to date with 7th edition so its pretty competitive or at least up to date right? How do I get saves from dispersion weapons? He had some kind of template weapon and Saint Celestine got killed in one hit, even though she wasn't instant killed. Whats the best way to get around that? You need to take some flamer weapons, and lots of melta weapons, to cleanse the xenos. More importantly, you need to pray to The Emperor, a lot, because you're going to need all the blessings you can get.
