Since it's the top of a new page I'll add some pictures of the Eldar army I am having painted for my wife!           Sulecrist posted:Hey, I LOVE your podcast. It's essentially what brought me back to this game after years away. Glad you like it! Thanks for the compliment. Btw - we are giving away a Forge World Iron Father on our Facebook page if you haven't looked.... Ghost Hand fucked around with this message at 20:36 on May 23, 2014 |

Fix posted:Yeah, when it's your turn you roll a single D6. Both sides get that many dice in their pool, plus one for every mastery level in your army. Then when you want to cast, you declare your target, pull out as many dice from your pool as you want, and roll them. For every 4+ you roll, you get a Warp Charge. If you have enough Warp Charges for the level of the spell, it goes off. If you didn't get enough Warp Charges, it fails. If you roll 2 or more 6's it passes. Psychic Phase sounds fun as Hell. Very different from what I am used to (I have never played Fantasy though I hear it has some similarities).

Cataphract posted:urgh, I just got there. That feels like such a step backwards... when they introduced the concept of "only troops can score" in 5th (or was it 4th) it was a bloody great move and improved the game so much. In actual play I have found troops to be even more precious now. Being able to own an objective when others are on it is golden. It also eliminates the whole "Just kill off all his troops" tactic. (which I personally found kind of dull). It may not appeal to everyone - but in the two games I've played so far, those troops units were awesome.

HiveCommander posted:It still works, just not very well. Any psykers, Bro-hoods and psychic pilots are at -3 leadership in general, so it does nothing to stop psychic powers going off, it just makes 2/3 of the perils chart more likely to happen. Not in line with the established Tyranid fluff at all, but it wouldn't be the first time their own background material has been ignored in the rule-making process. Would love if they FAQd it that any doubles causes a Perils in Shadows :P But that might be wishlisting too much.

jng2058 posted:Swarms can score now. Everything can score now. Park a Basilisk on that Objective that you hid behind the hill and rack in the points at the end of the game. The only thing that can override that is that your Troops in a "Battle-Forged" (ie not Unbound) get the Objective Secured rule (formerly owned exclusively by Tyrannid Gargoyles) and get priority over non-Battle Forged Troops if multiple units are within 3" of an Objective. Unless it specifically states it is NEVER scoring. (Not sure if scarabs say this or not). But for example - Death Company say that I believe. So they are still not scoring.

panascope posted:Heldrakes are pretty junk now. One attack on Vector Strike just isn't enough to be reliable damage against vehicles and the Baleflamer alone doesn't really justify 170 points. They are FAR from junk. They are appropriate now. And I play them. I am happy to see them brought down a bit. Now people will stop complaining about them.

Tuxedo Jack posted:So, just got done playing 3k Space Marines versus 1500 Orks & 1500 Tyranids in a 2 on 1. Sounds like you shouldn't have been "holding them at bay" and should have been in their base killin their dudez! I agree it can swing against you and that's part of the deal. However, just dont play the maelstrom missions if you don't like it. *shrug* I have had fun with them so far.

Tuxedo Jack posted:It's for our campaign that will eat up the majority of our games over the next 10 weeks. They are wrong. Wrong in a multitude of ways. What else are they houseruling out? Are they getting rid of Daemon and Eldar psychic powers? better do that. They seem pretty powerful. Also better not allow flying monstrous creatures to fly...

Tuxedo Jack posted:They made drop pods not scoring. I'm totally fine with houserules. But not houserules that just punish one player and/or army... this is a rule made without any idea of how it is impacting the REST of the game. It sounds like you win in this group a lot and they are trying to hamstring you (just guessing). I would say that you should find a group of players more suited to the way you want to play if you can. I certainly wouldn't get involved in some long protracted campaign where you are going to be miserable the entire time.

Tuxedo Jack posted:It doesn't matter, of course. It's just space Barbies. But it is spirit breaking. I was going to just take a break from the group to paint my new IG army, but then I realized they're using my PE tiles, and I kind of wrote the campaign (until the group rewrote most of it), so I feel obligated to play. I don't want to be a poor sport. I love the cards too if I am being honest. But I'm not going to cripple an opponent just because they come up with a good solution. I would go back and re-read what you JUST wrote (quoted above).... - They are using YOUR PE tiles - They re-wrote the campaign you spent time writing/organizing(?) - They are making rules changes which specifically target you. You came here and started venting about them - so clearly you are upset about it... don't start making excuses now. Let me ask this - what are the armies these other gamers are playing in this campaign?

Tuxedo Jack posted:I am frustrated, I admit. I win maybe 1 out of 5 games, but I dont mind losing because Im losing based on what happens on the tabletop. The cards frustrate me because of lovely draws. They remove my ability to "get better" because its all loving random. Honestly I expected you to say Eldar, Eldar, Demons, Demons, Necrons. Just tell the Tau players they are going to have to come out of their little firebases and face you! Either way - this sounds incredibly frustrating. You should make them use the Most Important Rule each game... hey half the time you should be able to make the Drop Pods scoring!

jng2058 posted:Well hang on, while the Pods themselves don't score now the units they carry do. There's no reason you can't just drop the pods a few inches between the Objective and your enemy, then deploy the unit backwards onto the Objective. The Pod will provide some cover and even HtH armies will have to go around it to get to you, though I guess some of them will be smart enough to charge the pod to get to you quicker, and you'll still score a ton of points in the early rounds before they dig you off those Objectives. Might be enough to win a lot, in fact. Good call!

tothelastman posted:I'm a beerhammer guy myself. I don't mind losing either. I can lose all the time too, so long as they're good games. But I feel your pain when I got wrecked all the time. Even playing casually it became unfun. This site helped out my game a lot. I started dominating most of my scene. But that wasn't fun after a while either. So I showed it to my bros too and now almost all of our games are nail bitingly close. YMMV though. He is right - that book is fantastic.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:As far as I'm aware they haven't said he's limited edition or exclusive, so I'd expect to see it available on it's own, or a variant of it, shortly. He isn't limited edition and they have even said this is the only way to get him "for now". I'm trying to find where that was on their site but I am pressed for time at the moment. BULBASAUR posted:This is the most clueless super excited 30k guy. I can't stop laughing. That's the owner of Blue Table painting (Sean? I think his name is..). He runs around all Adepticon just filming stuff and pressing palms to get people to have his company paint their stuff. Truth be told he is always quite friendly and nice - I just don't think the quality his company provides is worth the prices they charge.

TsarZiedonis posted:So, I was playing some games today, and it seems that, rules as written, one can take jink saves on skimmers that haven't moved. Actually, you can even take jink saves on skimmers that are immobilized! The immobilized thing seems odd for sure. You can take a jink save on a skimmer that hasn't moved but now you incur the snapshot penalty for the next shooting phase.

SRM posted:This is pretty much what my game club is like and it rules. Game store communities can be good but since they can't really turn anyone away like a club can, they're not quite so choosy and it can be more hit and miss. This 1000% yes! Some really great points for why starting a gaming club is awesome. Even in the US. I hadn't considered some of this.

Squifferific posted:I thought Ghost Hand was Carl. You can't also be Carl. haha In all honesty - I have probably less than $10k worth of 40k stuff. (Though paying to have my wifes eldar painted definitely increased the amount I have spent...) I have, over the last 8 years or so SPENT more than $10k on this game when you count travel, etc, etc... but my amount of spending is greatly exaggerated by those around me.

TheChirurgeon posted:No, I don't think every comment is worthwhile, just like I said in my post that you didn't read. My exact words around comments and feedback were "the bulk of which will be worthless outside of a market research context." I would point out that WoTC actually killed all posts in regards to RA Salvatore because he got butt hurt about people ragging on his characters and writing. So it became a rule on their official forums that you couldn't discuss certain things (in particular the works of RA Salvatore). Not sure if this is still the situation - but it was for quite awhile. Lungboy posted:One thing you really can't complain about with regards to GW is their customer service. They regularly send out entire new kits to replace a single missing or broken part, no questions asked. I would go so far as to call their Customer Service "World Class". I have NEVER had a problem with their Customer Service dept or Forge Worlds for that matter. Also many people don't know this - but if you are having problems assembling a Forge World Model - you can call (or write) them and ask for assistance and they will walk you through issues you might have...
