BULBASAUR posted:I was going to ask about "the cheapest place to get just the 40k 7th edition rulebook", but if they are cutting things like this I might just hold off since that book might be a paperweight in a year... To be honest - GW cutting Games Day is fairly irrelevant. I imagine they are treating it as an effort vs value decision. Arguments can be made either way on this subject but I am positive this is why they have done away with it.

If you're not one of the "Heroic" factions and instead play one of the armies that's always portrayed as a villain it seems you're in for disappointment.

The only thing I don't like is that I couldn't think of a drat thing to say at the end, so I just stood there grinning like an idiot (the day and game was totally fun - hence the grin!) Thanks Cataphract for letting me hang out with you for the day. I've been waiting for this video to come out so I could relive my humiliating defeat over and over again!

Or is it just like a salaried job? Salaried jobs. They are typically authors, game designers and people who do layout.

Germ posted: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! I like it - going to pitch in some money on this. I'll also plug it on my shows FB page.

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:Red Scorpions changed at all? - Art for the Red Scorpions remains the same from the previous edition. Though I think the Terminator and Space Marine plates is new. - Background appears the same Geneseed (unrecorded/unknown) - Chapter Tactic: Purity Above All - This is the same I think. Sgts can be Apothecaries. - Chapter Tactic: Fortitude and Contempt - Reroll failed pinning but cant go to ground. - They have a chapter relic called "Tears of The Scorpion". You upgrade a relic blade and it takes the form of Sword, Axe, Maul, Spear and gains Murderous Strike (Causes instant death on roll of 6 to wound, some of them reduce init by -1 due to Deadly Weight and the spear has mutliple rules based on weather they have charged or not) - Commander Carab Culln is in the book as well as some other characters (Dreadnought etc) I'll update more as I get time Hencoe posted:How do you get them so fast, mine is still awaiting packaging.

Thundercracker posted:I doubt its fake fake... just unbelievable that someone posted this letter to build investor confidence. I'd be mashing sell so hard 5 seconds after reading this I believe that in the UK the Chairman and the CEO have to be separate people. So this is likely a result of an expiration of some time limit that allows him to fulfill both rolls (probably a year or less is allowed or something... while they "look for" a CEO. I could be wrong but it looks that way. (Again I am not a business expert or anything.) The thing I HAVE been told is that if we see a replacement of CEO come from the board it is unlikely we will see any true change. And as long as this guy has his hand in the pot, I can't imagine we would. I would hope the next CEO, whoever they are would be more social media friendly...

PierreTheMime posted:The Thunderfire Cannon is notorious for being one of the worst kits (in terms of assembly) that GW has produced. Even in Finecast, you're assembling huge pieces together that only vaguely fit. The nice part is, if you order one and it's off you get two for the price of one. Easier to assemble than the metal one.

Fire Raptor is badass looking in my opinion. I like the Caestus but much prefer the look of the Fire Raptor. Go with a list of what you want - if they dont have it there, they will ship it to you free.

Once again - if someone could point me to any article or statement where Hasbro said they are looking at buying GW I would love to see it. Sorry but just because they bought WoTC, doesn't mean GW is next in line. I just don't see Hasbro buying them.

The Sisko posted:So I'm thinking of throwing together a campaign for me and my little brother to play out. It will be my first campaign and it will be CSM versus Space Marines. To that end I have bought the altar of war missions for both CSM and SM, kill team, and I found a PDF of the death world rules. From these I'll probably pick the missions that will suit the narrative I eventually come up with. Are there any other resources I could use to help build missions? http://theindependentcharacters.com/blog/?p=3512 You can also look here at the campaign I ran for my group (it ended up failing because too many of the player that play the most were on one side). But the concepts and such are all solid. http://epicempires.com/campaign/viewforum.php?f=27&sid=aff7103c93622c3340807a4353dc7f04 I would also highly recommend the campaign system in the Imperial Armour 12: The Fall of Orpheus (though it is the system the campaign above is based on)

Im not saying he isn't good - but if he is your only psyker on the table even he will be outclassed by someone bringing a lot of psychic power. He IS good - but not as good as he was in 6th. Best use for Tigirius (I have found) is in support of backfield units holding objectives where he can guide long range fire and invuln units to protect them. Calgar is still an awesome model and great unit. Don't dismiss him.

Could I put together a decent list that won't get destroyed at local tourneys? I don't have to come in first but I'd like to avoid being last place all the time. Depending on whether your group uses Forge World or not, things are about to get a whole lot better for Chaos.... I can't say more than that yet. Also the Heldrake is still badass and bad news vs MEQ. Ghost Hand fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Aug 5, 2014 |

TheChirurgeon posted:Yeah was about to post this. The model comes with autocannon turrets so you can use those, but rules-wise for Chaos 40k you get Reaper turrets instead which own (R36" S7 AP4 Heavy 4, Twin-linked, can shoot at other targets) and are much better than the heavy bolters because they can take down Flyers. Also it's only 220 points with the Reaper upgrades. They are about to get better!

I did have a game with with Demitri, one of the studio painters, and his stunning Blood Angels after you guys left and got to hang out with Paul Rudge and play with his Mortarion and one of the new forge world knights. So it definitely wasn't a wash from my end but it's a shame we didn't get that second round in. Here's some pics of the gooniest goons I ever gooned. It was sweet to see that RT salamders army and all those praetorians. Badass objective marker! :P Man that looks like a fun day. I'm going to be out there in early November. Really looking forward to my return trip. Glad Paul came down and hung with you a bit. He's a great guy.

JerryLee posted:The issue is that the picture still doesn't convey 'faster' at all--it's a supremely static pose. It's completely poseable. This one was assembled and painted by Paul Rudge of Forge World - he is not a professional painter or modeler by trade but just loves doing them. In this case I agree the pose he gave it was a bit static, but you can easily see the potential.
