A demon army starting at 1850 points ends up at almost 4000 points. Game is decided basically at random.

You trawl with a net but you troll with a fishing pole. The boat is in motion for both fishing activities but the gear is different. Nobody says troll though it's always trolling.

" We don't know were the bait fish are today so no mooching, we will be trolling for salmon"

"That commercial fisherman is trawling for shrimp"

(Mooching is fishing with bait while the boat is drifting. Usually over a school of small fish.)

I was thinking of going with this Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179741323/battle-dog-and-pug
*His latest update has the lowered turret, which looks much better.*

But the 3-pack it is the same price as 20% off real Leman Russ tanks. It looks like these are about 1.5cm shorter and the turret is like 3x bigger. It matches the aesthetic of the Light Tank's original sprite more than the GW one but I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger or not. GW kits come with like 3 turrets but this one has 5, so that is nice..

Looks like a super derby Cromwell.

The one simple trick I found for superior arms to body connecting with metal to plastic or really any combination is to drill a shallow dimple into the arm and apply the glue into the dimple before placing it on the shoulder.

I feel that flat on flat is too easy to sheer off.

It's only 1 point but I can probably think of a better way to spend 10 points in an IG army. It just says "he may tike items from the ranged weapons list" and nothing about replacing anything.

All of the metal IG are great models; the only ones that haven't aged well are a few of the officers like Al'Rahem who have really goofy 2nd ed poses. Those are some of the Perry bros' best works, and I absolutely adore them. I kind of want to get some Tallarn and paint them like Genestealer cult, but I've got enough metal Cadians to work through first.

I use my knife to score every point where plastic and metal connect. It gets a stronger bond that way.

If you ever want to do your cadians for some tallarans send me a pm.

Who needs rending when your only sniper is a Vindicare?
Speaking of which, some people on the internet are adamant that the Vindicare's Deadeye is worded in such a way that it sidesteps Look Out Sir. I know the old FAQ stated that Vindicares ignored it, but GW are terrible and deleted all the old (but still relevant) stuff in the previous one which sucks.

Aren't chainswords AP5 or 6 though? Not that it matters against most armies, but it's something

You are thinking quit a few versions back when they were like -1 or -2 to armor save. Now it's just a criminally alternative term for close combat weapon.

I actually used Repentia as Priests/Banishers for a fair while, since I like the concept (if not quite as much the models) a lot. Sadly, like most other things in that book, they are fairly terrible.

Yeah me too. This kind of irritates me they removed the option.

SRM posted:

No they shouldn't, it was butt garbage. It was really punishing to certain armies (Marines, but especially Deathwing, Ravenwing, or other good-save/low-model builds) and didn't matter one iota to others. Reducing your save by 1 would be novel, but pretty much unheard of in post-2nd ed 40k.

Yeah the excuse of -1 being too complicated was always stupid. I'm looking at the third ork codex and man you'd need a flow charts and some notes on who had choppas and not just close combat weapons.

I've always worked harder for my female bosses. Subconsciously I must of felt like I was going to get some if just do a good enough job. Perhaps that's the way IG would work with female commissars.

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.

Pretty deep dude.

Well what cavalry are you painting? I got a ten horse unit of deth corps I'm too scared to paint.

In terms of return, Gamesday was probably an exceptional marketing tool. It really is a bad sign since the only logical reason to shut it down is they're trying everything under the sun to cut costs.

It's like if your company took away free coffee from the office. A cost saving line item yes, but a really bad move still (free coffee has been shown to be one of the cheapest, most effective way to increase efficiency in drones).

My armored car company did that for a few months.

Management still threw away their stale bagels in the break room garbage can.

I too am happy, it can replace the 6th edition mini rulebook I never actually got to use. Gonna stick with Dark Angels as a tiny allied force though.

I own three plastic squats unpainted mostly on the sprue and three to four unmodiefed metal models. Not sure what to do with them.

That sucks. So effectivly losing an attack on the charge and every round after but you get an extra attack on being charged. I guess all good things must come back down to earth.

Yeah they are marginally different than regular marines now. I doubt they will remove the two special weapon option so thats the only reason to take them over regular squad.

Whole lot of people are gonna be pissed about having to remodel their now illegally geared troops. poo poo is bananas.
