Try Readium. It's a chrome addon

Not a founding chapter, but Grey Knights could be the analogue to Thousand Sons. Just due to the psyker heavy nature of both chapters.

Think it'll cause any problems if I base my Ork nobs on 32s? They just feel way too big for 25s.

If someone's overcharging plasma then they also have a 1/6 chance of their model getting deleted.

This is reminding me of when I used to play MTG and people would claim things were bad because they "died to removal". Turns out that yes, things can die. The most important part of the thing is how well it performs a function before it dies.

I've always wanted to get a Salamanders army, but they have a distinct, unique look fluffwise that isn't represented on the tabletop. I want scale capes and flames, dammit. A few unique kits like Blood Angels or Space Wolves get would be awesome, but I'd settle for an upgrade sprue that isn't Forgeworld.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Ork Warboss on BIke w/ Power Klaw This isn't as bad as some of the other stuff they messed up. Point costs are very similar, Zhadsnark misses out on an attack squig so actually nets one less attack, and Zhadsnark doesn't have the option of taking something like a Kombi-skorcha. Main discrepancy is in the wound difference.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Zhadsnark gets 5 attacks that hit on a 2+ with a better AP. So on average he's doing 4.2 hits while the Warboss (who, again, costs more) is only doing 2.7. And then Zhadsnark does more against armor. I haven't read the rest to see what's worse, but it's still pretty bad. Your forgetting the two squig attacks. On average 1.6 will hit. Granted they don't wound as easily. The ability to take something from the Shooty list shouldn't be discounted. You can fire both the Kombi-Skorcha and the dakkaguns. It actually gets funny with a big Mek on a warbike. Since you can take two Kombi-Skorchas and fire everything.

Stormboys are a neat kit, but obscenely expensive, even by GW standards. $25 for 5 models that you field in units of 30 is too rich for my blood.

The Kingfish posted:The ultramarine tactics are concerning. They are super good and it's easy to imagine GW loving the whole game up again with dogshit faction rules. They should have released chaos or deldar faction rules first to show they aren't planning on throwing those factions in the trash again this edition. Pretty sure if GW had their way the game would just be smurfs fighting each other.

Just finished up this guy. I got the Goff Rockers for two reasons. First is that they're friggin sweet. Second is that the Weirdboy model is hard to find and I don't like it much. So this is going to be a Weirdboy on the table. Since the Rockers are shorter than the weirdboy model I decided I needed something for him to stand on.

SRM posted:Yeah, I used the Land Raider Crusader sprue to put assault cannons on my Razorbacks. It kinda sucks but the only options in the codex when that model came out were heavy bolters and lascannons; they didn't even add back in the silly las/plas one til an edition or two later. Yeah, the Crusader sprue is drat hard to find now. I think I have some spare Terminator assault cannons lying around. I might test-fit those and hope they don't look too small. It would be nice if they just made a new sprue with the rest of the options and put in the box, even if that resulted in the price going up.

Main thing that stopped me from previously starting Salamanders was that fluffwise they have a really cool and unique look that you can't really represent on the table. Outside of spending an obscene amount of money on Forge World. This chapter tactic might make me look past that.

I think what rubs people the wrong way about Gulliman is the fact that he is the deus ex machina. - <Imperium Army> is fighting against <enemy> - <Imperium Army> is fighting valiantly, but losing despite using everything at their disposal - Gulliman shows up and saves <Imperium Army> from certain defeat. They could use it as a time to show off his tactical prowess; rerouting forces to assist, using astropaths to order a tactical retreat, etc.. Instead it's literally Jesus shows up just in time to singlehandedly save poo poo.

I doubt they'll ever make a Imperium civil war official. There will probably be friction, but not more than that. They'd be too worried about making people mad by making their armies not work anymore.

Liquid Communism posted:What do you mean 'not work'? As if the Traitor Legions have somehow stopped being able to fight despite 10k years without resupply? I mean stuff like special snowflake Munistorum mixed with Space Marines and Guard artillery armies, or whatever. If the civil war were to be Ecclesiarchy vs Gulliman then I'm sure someone, somewhere has a SoB with Ultramarines army that would stop being a legal army (if the war were translated to the tabletop)

Zuul the Cat posted:You should definitely get the box. My main complaint against vanguard and rangers is their range vs. mobility. With no transports, and their weapons only having Ap1 on 6's, they're just not that great for the points in my experience. Don't knock the rangers too much. Their gun is a strictly better bolter on a cheaper body. 2 Arquebus' in a 5 man squad is solid as well. You can then put out 2 squads of 2 Arquebus each and have very good coverage.

Endman posted:If I want some shooty marines in my Black Templar army, is it better to use a Tactical Squad or a Crusader Squad? At 10 dudes the options are almost the same. Tactical Squads can split via Combat Squad while Crusader squads can't. But Crusader squads can pack a bunch of bolters via the neophytes. Even then you're only saving 20 points with a full 20-man crusader squad vs two 10-man tactical squads.

Enentol posted:Do the rim in Steel Legion Drab or something similar. The black makes it seem a little unfinished and it doesn't contrast enough with the armour - makes it sort of blend together instead of really framing your nice paint work. I've never been one to like non-black base rims. I'll have to try some vegetation though.
