serious gaylord posted:I've always found it a bit interesting that Forgeworld get a pass on their prices because they're a 'luxury', despite the entire game being a 'luxury' to begin with. They're more niche and smaller scale, plus also their prices seem so much more fair, as an Australian, because everyone in the world pays the same price for their Forgeworld stuff.

FFA is kinda dumb in almost every game but if you implement a sort of "Only score from the person on your left" rule it works out a lot better, means you've got one person to attack and one to defend from and it discourages the terrible politics of FFA a little.

BULBASAUR posted:I like FFA, its a fun change of pace. If your friends can't handle poo poo talking I can see it being a bad game mode (or just get better friends) It's not so much poo poo talking but that half the time it ends up being 2v1 and someone sits out. Having to defend your objective from one guy whilst attacking the other stops a single dude getting man-piled by both players early, though good terrain and deployment can also help it. Multiplayer games are good but true FFA often makes it way more the meta-game of getting your opponent to attack your other opponent rather than, you know, the game of 40k. If you constantly play tall-poppy though and focus on whoever is winning and change when they stop winning it can be good though.

Cataphract posted:And Australian award wages vary by industry but the minimum wage (from July 1st) will be $640 per week. Just a big chunk of my Word Bearers army (sans cultists) shipped from Nanjing for half of that, p much owns.  Got a heap of these to use as Helbrutes, think the sizing is fine? 1500pts for me is a stupidly expensive Khorne Zealot, a squad of Terminators (Cataphractii), two Predators (old school), a Helcult (1 Helbrute + 20 cultists) then another 30 or so cultists for troops, then allied in Karanak, 10 Bloodletters, 10 Fleshhounds + a Skullcannon. Might end up switching to Crimson Slaughter and adding in Possessed to take advantage of the skullcannon even more.

I think with Chapter Traits in the main Space Marine book giving so much value and variation they're going to have a hard time making a BA codex that stands out enough. Black Rage, Apothecaries as elites, Fast vehicles, jump packs on Honour Guard and that's really it. If they included some Successor Chapters though that'd be great. Flesh Tearers getting nastier Black Rage, Lamenters having control over the downsides of Black Rage but suffering bad luck/ally penalties, maybe? You'd only need a little side bar with two or three variants for it to be a neat option and avoids the whole "you need your chapter master to get your chapter traits" flaw of last edition.

Just rip 40 pages from some Forgeworld and Black Library books books, write up a Warlord traits table, four or so relics, a few buffs and restrictions and bam, that'll be $50 thanks (per book). I really feel bad for Dark Angels, if SW get a unique flyer that isn't awful then that'll just rub it in even more.

DJ Dizzy posted:This I can live with. The rest is cheesy, minmaxy, beardy poo poo that shouldn't ever have made the presses. Helcult is cheesy? My list is a handful of Cataphractii armoured Word Bearers and a heap of cultists, the Helbrute is one of those Forgeworld Blood Slaughterer daemon engine things. Going for a slightly Khorne themed 40k Word Bearer's list but with clean neat 30k models. The Crimson Slaughter allies is a Sorceror with the Daemon relic and Possessed squad I've got planned for those new Gal Vorbak models. Demonology summoning stuff, but all Khorne daemons, none of this chain summoning tzeentch stuff. Aegis line is a converted Blood Cannon or whatever the chariot gun is, crewed by Bloodletters (Khorne is the God of War, not the God of Swords after all). It's an objectively bad army and isn't even slightly cheesy, it's incredibly thematic and an even balance of unit types so geez judge not a goon by the names of their detachments.

Miruvor posted:What type of rules for Kill Team get used, or where are they available? I've been interested in trying it out. The dataslate rules are what we use. The Heralds of Ruin stuff looks interesting but it's no where near as simple as the official dataslate ones. Plus it seems the Heralds of Ruin allows Terminator armour and a couple of other things that're probably frustrating to play against. The dataslate adds the lists for USRs etc but the general rules are: 0-2 Troops 0-1 Elites 0-1 FA 200pts No 2+ saves, no vehicles over 33 AV, no flyers, no deep striking. All models count as units of 1. Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerors is not in use. Highest LD guy rolls on special warlord table, three other non-vehicles get a USR from a list. There are some abuseable things like Deathmarks, Swooping Hawks etc but for a friendly game system they aren't hard to veto. The Heralds of Ruin one seems fine but list creation is a lot more Necromunda and complex than the dataslate rules. edit: Yeah, all the KTs I've seen in this thread would be illegal via the HoR rules, since they have 0-3 restrictions not allowing you to just take A Sternguard Squad as your army. You also can't field all bikes or all jump packs or whatever, which might make for a more balanced game but come on guys a sternguard squad is a perfect Kill-Team, that should be legal.

The basic arm is from there, I just added in the gun barrel from a Devildog and move the harpoon head to just sit around melta shroud and look a bit more chaosy. Going to counts-as a basic 100pt Helbrute for my Helcult, shame you can't bling them out a bit more with daemonic possession or marks but I think AV12 even with a 3+ cover save is a bit fragile to add in a power scourge and heavy flamer.

BULBASAUR posted:The answer is gently caress yes. Looks great man! Cheers! I think I mentioned this a while back but in that same order I got three Deimos Predators, some Daemons and a squad of Caraphractii Terminators, I'm making a 40k army with 30k models so you could totally do the same. The Blood Slaughterer miniature is great though the legs are a bit fiddly. Honestly the amount of flash and cleaning I had to do was really minimal and my Actual Forgeworld miniatures I've bought in the past were a lot more of a hassle to put together.

Yeah, I've got my own Forgeworld Hydra that's covered in giant blocks of excess resin and has two or three moderate miscasts I'll have to touch up and I just accosted how that was, but I've got a Chinaforge Contemptor and Blood Slaughterer, which re both complex kits, and they're clean and perfect. I'm on to the daemon part of my Word Bearers though and I'm wondering how big I should make it, at the moment it's Karnak, big blob of Flesh Hounds, minimal Bloodletters and a skull cannon, but Juggernauts are awesome models. Think I'll have fun adding another allied contingent or even flipping it around so it's Daemon base book plus Word Bearers allies? Bloodletters seem pretty uninspiring, mechanically. Basically just asking if Khorne Daemons is a moderately effective and fun lists, I've never played against it and some of it seems pretty weak but who knows. It doesn't need to be super powerful but I do want to actually get to melee and win some fights

JerryLee posted:These two facts are very likely related, FYI. That's such a shame. Five years ago when I managed a FLGS type place in Perth we would frequently trade stock with the local GW whenever we were out of stock. If it was a big release or there was some delay we'd just loan each other a half dozen starters or codices whatever and just trade them back when our shipment came in. I wonder if that was just a personal thing or if there's more of a competitive culture now.

Keeping in mind if it's T3 or lower it'll be Instant Death'd anyway, and if it's T4 then the lance will ID as well. It's not that it's useless, it's more that it's almost functionally identical to the myriad of "Instant Death on a 6" mechanics already out there. It's just mechanically uninspiring. I get that they thought a S test is neat and thematic but it's basically just fail on a six all but exclusively.

Sir Teabag posted:I dug up some old third ed Blood Angels stuff I had and was wondering if I could make any sort of viable army or allied detachment out of this? It would be allying with Guard. If you're looking for Guard Allies you could take your Death Company (troops choice) and Chaplain (Elite or HQ), as a thematic and pretty killy unit. The Death Co have rage, FNP and reroll to hit and wound on the charge with the Chaplain. Then one or two of whatever else interests you. Tac Squads aren't that useful if you're guard, but if you stick the assault squad full of melta it could be a neat option to storm troopers, as Blood Angels get deep strike rerolls. I hear old metal dreads are best used for throwing during games store tantrums

Back when the local store in Perth was in Raine Square they would always push whatever was selling poorly, usually Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle. We used to play a game where you take someone new into the store and get them to describe a 40k army and see whether you'd be recommended Sisters or Dark Eldar. Along the lines of; "Hey, I'm thinking of getting into 40k" "Sweet; what sort of Sci Fi stuff do you like?" "I like big gribbly aliens, like hordes of little scrabbling guys and maybe a couple of big really alien guys, lots of claws and fangs" "Oh wow you'd really love Dark Eldar. They're evil spiked aliens, plenty of little foot infantry plus flying tanks covered in scythes and claws. Just what you'd like" It was beautiful. No matter how precisely you'd describe another 40k faction they'd pick up something that tied it into Dark Eldar or Sisters every time.
