The good stuff in CSM: Bikes, Spawn, HQ options, and cult marines, are all still really good. The Heldrake ate a couple big nerfs but is still okay. Really the biggest buff Chaos got was the psychic table change. The tables that Sorcerers/DPs can roll on are generally better than they were before (e.g., Iron Arm giving you +3 S/T instead of +D3). Challenges are a bit less hamstringing for you now that wounds spill over. Daemon Princes are a bit trickier to use now but Be'lakor is still probably the best HQ option we get because of how powerful Telepathy is.

Everything fluff related is awesome. One faction has the souls of dead twins piloting a huge gay robot and another has its largest war machines piloted by a guy in a bathtub. Hell, Logan Grimnar riding a dog sled isn't even the dumbest thing in that book. Hail Satan.

I put out a request for quote to a guy advertising on craigslist to paint a couple models for me and the samples he sent me were so bad I couldn't fathom who was actually paying him for them. The ad contained a line that went something like, "make all your friends jealous with these superbly painted models," which was just comical given the quality. I ended up telling him my wife said no, which she did once she saw his poo poo was worse than mine.

What are you trying to get painted, homeslice? More necrons?

Also please post pictures.

I was trying to cost out Horus and my Warhound Titan. This was actually a few months ago but luckily I've still got the pictures. I really want to know who was paying for this or what blind person he was hocking these to.






This is a piece (of poo poo) he said he was working on for another person:


Prices were unvelievable: $30 to paint Horus, $75 to paint the Titan, $15 to magnetize and pin the drat thing. I have no idea where he came up with them.

Any advice for dealing with invisible units? I mostly play Necrons - though I could add some psykers to my guard.

Getting tired of having to roll a million sixes to do anything to my opponents already super tough death star units.

Tesla weapons are probably the only thing you can do against invisible units. Every 6 turns into 3 hits. Other than that, uh, transcendent C'Tan maybe for the D-strength movement power?

I did a dangerous thing and I started playing around in Battlescribe with the new Grey Knights list. Then I went to see prices online. The Vanguard box is $260CAN, has $323 worth of models in it, and can be found at my friendly online retailer for $195.

Then I thought of the 40+ infantry and six tanks I still have to paint for my Guard army. ONE ARMY AT A TIME.

You can use the grey knights kit to get good at airbrushing, which will make everything go faster. You should probably buy the box and an airbrush setup too.

This is a forgeworld book. Supposedly its going to include rules for '30k in 40k' IE: legion chaos vehicles like drop pods, storm eagles, earlier pattern land raiders, and the works. Also LOTD/Renegades are back. Rumors for now, but hail Satan Chaos anyway, this is awesome if true.

This looks loving awesome, and would be neat to tie together my Black Legion army and my future all-Terminator Sons of Horus army.
