Hey Post 9-11 User, do you have a list of the chaos stuff you have? Might be interested in some things, especially if you have DV cultists.

Found them on ebay. Plague Marine Obliterators. I'm assuming they are OOP bc there is no way whoever made them didn't get sued out the rear end

In all my years of playing I could never figure out if there is a reference table or some equation they use to figure out point costs from equipment, skills, stats, etc or if they just randomly choose numbers that sound good.

Hey guys, just a heads up: I have begun an SAMart selloff thread. Going to be unloading big lots of models at steadily decreasing prices. Starting with some space elves, but more on the way!

Doing any chaos at some point?

Any Chicagoons in here? Now that I'm no longer a perpetual suburbanite I'm curious if there is an FLGS where people meet up to play. I'm considering getting the 8th edition starter set and relearning this game. Haven't played since 3rd/4th, but I still have a 'uge unfinished Death Guard army that I'm starting to work on completing again.

I' also want to learn Shadow War, I tried doing it off the leaked rulebook but I think some parts were missing and my friends and I had a hard time with it.

Completely agree. That cover is why I started Space Wolves.

Same here. I was so hyped when I saw that codex I bought some boxes and made a huge army. This was back when stores had the parts catalog so I bought a bunch of assault marine leg sprues to make my blood claws look like they were running, made wolf servitors for my iron priest, and decked out a Leman Russ Exterminator (or whichever variant it was) in runes and pelts.

Ended up cannibalizing the parts to make kitbashed death guard and sold most of the other figures though. After seeing what they became it seems to be the better choice.

BTW if anyone still plays wolves, I'll get a count when I get home from work but I still have a TON of 3rd ed Space Wolf bits - heads, helmets, some weapons, backpacks with capes, etc that I'd totally send out to people for the cost of shipping. They are just taking up space in my bitzbox.

The other day I remembered learning 3rd edition on the floor of my brother's bedroom, and sometimes pouring through the rule book on long car trips with my family. Also remember buying my first models, a box of second edition space marines that I found in a shop in Lake Geneva, WI while on one of those said car trips.

One day my brother came home from hanging out with friends with the 3rd edition starter set and a bloody nose. He won the set in a competition this store did where you had to push a giant D20 with your nose around the store and whoever had the best time won the set. He won, got a bloody nose, and decided to build a blood angels army.

Oh, memories.

oh god im old and I thought I left this game behind a decade ago but goddamn it 8th will pull me back in fuckkkkk

They did say some models lost to psychic feedback, so I wouldn't be surprised if they'll have a rule where when you kill a synapse creature you have to take a morale check on all squads in range or something. I'd assume commissars will have something to lower the amount of casualties, like how you could execute a model to keep your guys from running in previous editions.

GW has chosen to push the bad aspects of the Chaos gods in order to make them the bad guys of the universe - they used to have their "good" (or at least respectable) aspects as well.


Wasn't it originally that the chaos gods had a good/bad side to them (Khorne was the god of military honor AND slaughter) but something caused the warp to shift and make them go all in the bad parts? I thought I remembered something in the fluff about this.

Also, looks like battle cannons are better AT than lascannons despite what the article says about being worse than dedicated AT weapons.

How is it better? A battle cannon is D3 damage, a Lascannon is D6.

I thought it is supposed to be D6 hits on a unit but you can only put 1 hit on each model? So you can hit 1-6 models in a squad and do D3 wounds to each, but against a single model it would deal 1 hit for D3 wounds? Or did I read the lst weapons article wrong?

edit: WHOOPS I read it wrong - "[a flamer] causes D6 hits that do not have to roll to hit, and this applies even against units of a single model"
