Yeah I just checked out his posted list and it's the rite of war that makes veterans troops and he took sniper on everything.

Heavy bolters with suspensor webs and sniper are not the friends of Carnifexes.

After reading the last 250 posts in the 40k thread; I have a deep appreciation for how not hosed this game is. My 40k armies won't be leaving their cases for a while

You're just saying that because the new Deathwatch devastator got a frag cannon that is somehow superior to the one that Dreadnoughts carry.

I mean it's not like GW makes things up as they go along with no care or consideration.

Right?

So is Zone Mortalis usable for an escalation type league?

My FLGS is ready to sponsor the next league my group runs and I think this may be a better option than straight up 30k.

My other concern would be with terrain. Is it playable on Space Hulk tiles possibly?

The work continues on my Word Bearers' demonic allies!

Using Bulbasaur's Zenithal Highlighting guide, I've made a start on a Demon Prince - still very much WiP.

The arms and waist is magnetised. Legs are done, just working on the shield + axe before I finish off the torso armour!

His name is The Colchisian Reaper.

Looks amazing. Do you have a link to the guide handy?

You're in luck. I took VisV, re-wrote the rules to be more concise, merged them with the adepticon rules, and then fine tuned the result based on feedback. VisV is just a campaign system layered ontop of Tactical Strike. I call this thing Lightning Strike because it's different enough to be it's own thing. It's free and you should totally try it.

Just finished the v1.3 update. Get it here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ahdfeBukDCz8DLBs_PUudfnOiyCAO3U0gqLjW_IwYZU/edit?usp=sharing


There are a lot of little changes to the core system, so if you are familiar with VisV I suggest you read through the 14 pages. The major differences are in how ad-hoc units work, how special rules confer, the special lead element unit type, new hero roles, and what you can do with your action points. If you have feedback after playing, please share!

I've been looking for a small scale 30k campaign for a while now. I love you.

I have a friendly match coming up at work over the Xmas break with a couple of hams in the office and although it's a 40k game I thought this would be a good incentive to get my 30k Death Guard stuff started.

It's a 2v2, CSM and my DG against IG and Black Templars. There is a good chance that the BT player will bring a Knight so that's an issue to deal with.

I have 2 BaC boxes to work with along with a 40k LR and two Rhinos, and the following soviet/communist resin stuff:

10x Extra flamers
Deredeo w/ Autocannons/Missile Launcher
3 x Laser Destroyer (or Graviton?) Rapiers
5 x Grave Wardens
5 x Deathshroud Termies
2 x Apothecaries
Typhon
Mortarion

I only have 750pts to pay with at the moment, but this will obviously be a core for a full heresy force. Any hints on what kind of list I can do at 750?

Following up on this, how big a dick move is Typhon at 750pts? The guys I'm playing against are pretty much "anything goes" thus the Imperial Knight at the same points level.

I was thinking along these lines:

Was mulling this over in the Slack but I think a 2k Robit list is in my near future and a decent potential ally for my in-progress DG.

I thinking 2 x Thallax (2x lightning, 1 x Photon) and 2 x Castellax (one set with darkfires) in the troop slots, but I'm not sure what other robit goodness goes well with this start. I really like the look of Thanatars and Vorax so I'm leaning that way, maybe Vulturax too but I'm not sure how to equip them. My local group plays pretty hard lists so a little cheese is fine.
