I'm of two minds about that. It seems like a cheap cash grab but I can understand wanting the game to be fully playable with just the main box and not wanting to include 3D scenery in the main box. It'll keep the starting price down and prevent the inventory issues that Shadow Wars had.

They're still good just dont benefit from the current codex which sucks. Theyre still customizable as gently caress.

They're a bit better now that GW errata'd them to be able to take all Primaris unit.

You could get some MK III or MK II Despoiler squads (or Rampagers), use the chainaxes from Berserker set or from Forge World, and some of the World Eater Legion helms.

Then use them to play 30k

I've never liked the silly wings on the newer world eater stuff, is there a place to get the old 2nd edition world eater skullmets?

I think the Carnifex is the most modular kit followed by the Tyrants and Warriors. If those three models get some if that customizability back, that would be great.

Having said that they need to fix a lot of units from the index.

I know the preview blurb on the carnifex in the new white dwarf mentions they bring the Swiss army carnifex back and every bit in the kit will have rules.

Have Jormagundr existed for a while or are they a new fleet? It's probably just the name but it seems like a good match for the Tyranids that occasionally get hinted at having a presence on Fenris.

Fun thing which no doubt GW will errata/faq sometime:



RAW Broodlords can't eat brains because the stratagem says Genestealer and not GENESTEALER.

I wonder if that means there will be named Lictors or Lictor variants since that's the only keyword in that list.

I imagine the genestealer being named and not keyworded is to prevent shenanigans with a GSC army trying to claim the stratagem with purestrains.

As far as I recall the hive mind reacts to daemons as rival predators instead of prey when they both happen to be attacking the same place.

It'd be nice if they could imply the whole excess and hedonism aspect without just doing cheesy sex demons. Make daemonettes in to gluttonous fatty-monsters or something.

Or way more androgynous and weird like the crab-claw 2nd/3rd ed daemonettes.

They'll make daemonette sculpts where each one of the six deadly sins. The catch is they're sold in boxes of 10 and there's only 1 lust daemonette per box, forcing the desperate to buy multiple boxes to get the one figure they want to use.

Anyone have any experience with Adventure Games up in Scranton, PA? I'm gonna start playing there soon and wanted to ask around about the place even though people seemed nice so far.

The store is nice, spacious and clean and the players are decent and open to new people, if a bit heavy on the groggy/WAAC side of the spectrum.

I do prefer Tactical Advantage down in Edwardsville and would suggest checking it out if you're not coming from North of Scranton. Real easy to get a game on any given night if you post in the FB group when you'll be there and what size game you're looking for.

e; Oh...it only comes with one. I can read y'all I swear :downs:

The ork models are the same size. Battle for Vedros boxes are leftover models from the 5th edition starter that they packaged up and discounted for sale at Big Box stores(Walmart/Hobby Lobby) . The boxes are a fantastic way to start an ork army, Orks haven't really gotten a line replenishment since 5th so everything you buy will match up fine from other boxes.

So like half of what I need? How does that rate against the DI primaris? Sorry to be a bother, but I'm not exactly flush, so dropping 400ish dollars on a game I've never really played is a big commitment.

I believe the Primaris side is just shy of 1k, like I think 930 or so?

Marines are really cost efficient between their point values and being featured in every editions big box. It's why Marines are so many peoples first army.

My point being that "number of datasheets in book" is a terrible metric to judge a book by. The local Admech players here complain much more about how bland the rest of the codex is than how thin the datasheet section is (though "we have no transports" comes up a lot; fortunately it looks like Custodes have that covered).

EDIT: I'm actually looking forward to the Custodes Codex because I think it'll have by far the greatest value in terms of "I didn't know that about this faction" while I read the first half of the book. Different strokes. :shrug:

I don't think the size of the book is a bad metric for comparison. It's not like the Custodes codex is going to get more pages of fluff because their army is a third the size of the rest.

I think the reality was that they struggled at making squats appreciably different from Imperial Guard and Space Marines. There wasn't room for them anymore.

That's the answer I got directly from Rick Priestly at the 00 or 01 games day. The 3rd edition mission statement was to give each army a clear and identifiable design space so stuff like Squats, Genestealer Cults and Chaos Orks got cut as fieldable armies/units.

Has anyone ever seen "Made-for-Infinity" scenery used for T'a"""u buildings (either for their own use or for their gelded slave populations equal partners and allies)? I feel like it might be the right amount of wooshy-swooshy and a lot easier than hand-building everything but I'm not clear on the scale of Infinity.

My friend is T'a"""u-curious and I'd like to construct scenery around the recent not-being-on-fire-ness of the Damocles Gulf leading to a reconquest of an ice world the Guard abandoned tactically withdrew from during the Crusade.

The scale is right, but if you're looking at the Plastcraft ones everything I've ever heard about their product is about the masochism involved in building them. Like more than your average GW fan.

Ugh, apparently one of the local Facebook groups is having a slapfight about one use weapons. Apparently, since the shooting rules say “Unless otherwise noted a unit fires all the weapons it is equipped with” and that since one use weapons don’t mention anything being to choose to not fire it, they’re arguing that you must fire all one use weapons the first time you fire with the vehicle.
