If there are any Blood Angels fluff nutts out there, I am getting a few Assault Marines and I was wondering if 30k ASM use the yellow helmet colors like their 40k counterparts... I wish the drat HH:6 book wouldn't of been pushed back until February...

Also, looking at possibly running them with combat shields. Anyone out there know a good alternative to the FW Shields that come with the Breachers?

I am yet to understand why anyone would play as a loyalist legion.

With the potential to use the Chapter that you play in 40k's Primarch in 30k. I'm going to have the worlds biggest loyalist erection when Sanguinius comes out, it is just going to suck when Panascope's Horus kills him over and over again...

According to the Crusade Army List book, you can also run 40k vehicles in 30k and state that they are non-standard patterns of whatever. The idea being that the legions experiemented with new poo poo all the time...

...so hello Land Raider (Great) Crusaders I suppose!

What about... vehicle formations from 40k? :shepicide:

It was a 2v2, with Hixson and I on one team, and Bulbasaur and Stanyer89 on the other. The game was mostly pretty close until about turn 4 when it decisively turned in our favor, and Hixson and I had basically spent the whole game talking poo poo to him. Constant, "good army", "wow, huge plays", that kind of thing. I guess after several hours of that he just couldn't take it anymore, and after we removed his last assault marine from the table I asked, "mad?" and he picked it up and threw it into the wall. This didn't stop the poo poo talking either, if anything it got worse after that. He'll probably come in here later and madpost about how Bulbasaur hosed him over and he totally would've won and :downswords: or whatever but he's bad and mad.

Bulbasaur is poo poo. gently caress this game.

Losing Inertial Guidance is still worth it to me, I think. Sure it's 85 points but being able to move it before and after disembarking is pretty sweet since it can take objectives if it's a DT for a Troops choice and is a general pain in the rear end for the enemy anyway.

I thought in 30k that dedicated transports do not count as scoring but only the troops did.

I just had the most ideal game of Warhammer 30,000. Nobody had any fun, Hixson and I didn't know what the mission was until the last turn of the game, and we were all mad at the end. On the plus side, at least no models were smashed and Bulbasaur only sort of hated the pizza we got!

First time I have ever seen someone get salty over winning. It was a glorious defeat.

Highlight of our game was a souped up blood angle chaplain in artificer armor with a photonic blade failing to cause any wounds at all and instead getting killed by my praetor with lightning claws in one round of combat. Traitor supremacy bitch.

That was a good part, but the BEST part was when Bulbasaur was reading out the game type while you and Hixson were jerking each other off in the corner not paying attention resulting in instant wet tears followed by the phrase, "No. No this is bullshit. No. Bullshit and you know it", at Turn 5. Even better was how salty Hixson was after he had still won.

Man I really like these Sons of Horus changes. Terminators get an insane buff, and even their Legion rules got buffed too. That +1BS to shooting within 12" is pretty cool, especially with all the outflanking and deep striking you can do. Really looking forward to dropping Horus and a 12-man squad of Justaerin to wipe out whatever they look at.

It'll be fun to switch deployment zones with you every game by Turn 2 via deepstrikes.

Love those bases and the white looks soooo clean. Kind of jealous. Did you end up darkening the head cap on the sergeant or did you just make the loin cloth brighter?

Would it be kosher if I were to use the 40k sanguinary guard models as assault sergeants in my BA army?

They were around and wore the same gold colored armour that they wear in 40k to even include the wrist mounted bolters and Mk4 Jump packs they have. Using them as sergeants is up to you, but from an actual fluff standpoint they are kind of their own thing outside of the normal command structure.

At the end of the day they are your toys so play with them however you want. Either way it should be interesting to see how FW ends up modeling them for 30k.

In the vein of extremely good cheating, we all just noticed today how incredible Bulbasaur made his favorite unit: the Iron Hands Immortals (he doesn't play Iron Warriors because he's bitchmade).

Anyway, here's what he did:
Medusan Immortals Squads (Iron Hands Only):
Reduce cost from 250 to 225
Add special rule ‘Move through cover’
Add special rule ‘Implacable Advance’ (Pg 22)
Add option “For every five models in a squad, one Immortal may exchange their boltgun for a power weapon +5 points”
Add option “The entire squad may take melta bombs: +50 points”
Replace ‘Gun Them Down’ special rule with ‘Shield Wall’, including the following addendum: “At the beginning of your turn, as long as the Immortal squad numbers more than 5 models and is not falling back or pinned, the Immortal squad may take a LD test. If passed, the unit may reroll failed saving throws of 1 until the next turn. These effects do not confer to attached Characters.”

Now we were aware of these rules, but it didn't strike us how nuts these were until the last time we played and the big block of Immortals he had basically lost 0 dudes over 6 turns of being shot at. In previous games we really hadn't paid any attention to them.

In his defense, he is on my team.

We have a great gentlemanly group of players:
  • BULBASAUR spends months getting the campaign together and does all the work. Everyone reviews and agrees to the rules
  • Panascope gets 2 wound, plasma blaster, WS5, 185 point Justerians. Still cheats and adds extra units to his army thinking nobody would notice
  • Hixson gets mastery level 4 wizards that manifest powers on a 3+, convinces BULBASAUR to remove all drawbacks. Second game decides to cast invisibility on Panascope's Justerian
  • Stanyer upgrades his reduced price 15 man assault squads to have double power weapons, combat shields, fleet, and furious charge for +75 points. Still gets tabled every game
  • Traitor team melts down after eeking out a win because they ignored the rules discussed before the game

Our league rules have been public since late last year. What I'm saying is that I love warhammer and my friends they are both great

I feel like that Stanyer guy is getting royally hosed on his campaign rules compared to the lot.
