Mango Polo posted:Oh there we go then, it's a very early one. Good to know they got fixed because I want more, it's such a cool unit. Yeah I think the new ones have their tracks molded onto the side sections. The FW land raiders and spartan do too now, apparently. In other news, I have some plastic landraider bits coming that will be the basis of a spartan for my World Eaters. Angron and his Red Butchers need a murderbus to roll around in style (and not eat D weapon shots to the face like a chump).

He's a praetor level character with a paragon blade and a decent warlord trait (friendly units within 12" can take leadership tests off him) and on a roll of 2+ ignores his first fatal wound for 175pts. Oh, iron halo too. No eternal warrior though, which is kinda hard to come by in 30k. He's no Kharn, but not bad by any means, I think.

BULBASAUR posted:You dudes who aren't playing Iron Warriors or Word Bearers should probably get in the habit of taking vexillas on your tactical squads. You'll thank me later. I'm running World Eaters and plan on two (eventually three) large tactical squad blobs. I anticipate heavy casualties, because the only thing I can fit tac squads that large into are spartans and fire raptors-- so the vexilla and its attendant re-roll are handy So is a legion command squad with standard-- the 12" fearless bubble is a nice touch.

I have a bunch of Mk 3 pauldrons on my Mk 4 marines and they look good I think. Also, I got some headswaps from here: http://wargameexclusive.com/ There are a bunch of cheesecake-y type models there, but there are also a bunch of excellent Mk II, III and IV heads with crests to be had. Mine arrived today and I've used them to make tactical sergeants and veterans for my command squad. The quality is superb; I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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!

DeadGame posted:How are Red Butchers and the Rampager Squads? The World Eaters look pretty good, but going heavy on assault seems risky. From what I hear, Rampagers are a bit overcosted for what they do (and Caedere weapons aren't totally poo poo hot) but could make a decent retinue unit for Kharn in a land raider if you're feeling a need for SKULLS, but I don't run them so take what I say with a grain of salt. Red Butchers, on the other hand, are fun as hell to paint and are two wound terminators with a 4++ invuln that are slow moving murder machines. They absolutely need some sort of transport though. They're slow as gently caress. E: I'm building a World Eaters list that is mostly infantry-- 20 man tac blobs seem fun (I'm planning on at least two), particularly where World Eaters can build them to be nasty at shooting and brutal in assault. Also, free chain axes. And apothecaries are your friend. Fearless fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Nov 14, 2015 |

ijyt posted:Also lets say I was going to go with World Eaters for my Heresy box. Would the first thing to do modelling wise be give all the duders chain axes, and have the terminators with lighting claws? The books insist on adding a chainaxe to the model if go that upgrade route, but the group I play with doesn't care too much about WYSIWYG, so I get by with adding chain bayonets to everything.

SteelMentor posted:Arms are sold separately, but the shoulder joint you attach them to are sold with the main body of the Contemptor. You could magnetize the joint between them though, probably. Contemptors take magnets really well. You simply slot magnets into the upper arm joint.

koreban posted:Apparently there was a bad shipping fuckup in the Portland area from wherever GW's distribution was. My LGS didn't get their Calth boxes on Friday, then Fedex called saying they'd get it Saturday between 7am-12pm, so they had a guy working a 13 hour day show up at 7am to receive the delivery, only to no-show. Of course, no one's available on Sundays to do silly things like track packages or tell you where they lost your poo poo at. If you're going World Eaters, definitely use the traitor rules. It allows you to use units like the Red Butchers, and their special legion Rite of War that gives them Hatred (Everything) if they are outside their deployment zone.

Thundercloud posted:Forgeworld do a transfer sheet for most legions. Most of their legion decal sheets have something like 500 decals on them. It'll more than cover an entire box. I've done a few dozen marines in two different legions in Mk II, III and IV armour. You really don't need an upgrade pack unless you want the extra prettiness. A decal sheet is far cheaper, and if you are using micro sol and micro set, you're good to go.

I wanted a Spartan for my World Eaters, but I did not want to buy the official kit when I felt I could kitbash/scratchbuild my own-- plus, the original Spartan was a classic land raider/rhino kitbash. I've got about $30 in purpose-bought bits in this build (the aftermarket track links and the two land raider side plates). Everything else, including the quad lascannons, are all spares from my bits box, which is a damned sight better than buying a bigass hunk of resin from FW (which is admittedly beautiful). Here's the WIP: It's a bit longer than a standard land raider. All the rivets are glass microbeads bedded in superglue dots.  The front assault ramps. I mounted the twin heavy bolters in a casemate slightly ahead of the commander/driver position in the elevated tower. The view slits next to the heavy bolters are from a rhino.  Another shot of the whole thing. Sorry about the lighting. I'm hoping to basecoat it white tomorrow and get started on the painting.  The rear of the tank. E: C&C welcome.

I've heard from sources other than Sulecrist that the update is basically just and editing pass with some points rebalancing. I'm keeping my red books so I can go through them with a sharpie and make changes accordingly.

TTerrible posted:My meltdowns about yellow have mostly been confined elsewhere, but right now I think I own every shade of yellow/golden brown in three vallejo ranges. I've spent a year furiously airbrushing snap together marines, but I think I'm ok now. As I recall, Liquitex makes a nice spray can yellow that can work fine for IF. Have you considered using something like that as a base and then pin washing with brown or purple for a shade, and then a highlight with a very pale yellow? Throw in a little weathering (dark brown for rust, or a dark silver for tarnished steel) to mix things up a little if you're feeling fancy. With a spray you could have the base down very quickly on a lot of models, and then just rip through the stages in quick batches. E: I are dumb. I failed to register your post about the airbrush. That should speed things up nicely.

Like he looks like the kind of dude that doesn't give a gently caress about you and decimates your legion to make an example. I always pictured him as Space Stalin, but this is way better imo. He has the same stare as shell shock victims. Even if it doesn't capture him, it captures the character of his legion perfectly.
