LingcodKilla posted:I used rifles cases for most of my vehicles since 1995. Worked great for rhinos, dreads and land speeders. Does not work for troops since they can slosh due to size. Using rifle cases can be risky though. Some people can lose their minds just seeing a case that can hold a gun. There's also the theft angle too. People know what gun cases look like, and some will break into your car to steal what they think is a gun.

Good choice. People knock the card cases but they work just fine. Especially if you put them in one of the bags. I have a bag that holds 2 of the card cases and 4 total card cases. I just swap out the cases depending on what I need for the day.

Yeah, Battlescribe isn't great right now. You have to double check every little thing since there are so many errors. One that comes to mind is Company Veterans. Their loadout selection isn't working right.

So I'm having a debate with myself for what to use to ferry some Black Templars across the board. I'm currently trying to decide between a Stormraven or a Landraider Crusader. I'm thinking the Stormraven would be better on the table, but the Crusader is more fluffy.

Safety Factor posted:Land Raider Crusader. More capacity, tougher, and a complete monster. I ran one in a 3-game tournament the other week and stuffed it full of Deathwing Knights, Belial, and a Deathwing Ancient. I'd just charge in with the Crusader, unload the terminators and go to town. Stormraven is still 14 wounds. Toughness and save is 1 worse, but wouldn't the -1 to hit compensate for that? Their armaments are very similar as well. Crusader can get a bonus stormbolter, but otherwise it's multimelta vs the Stormstrike launchers. Crusader wins the cool factor, but being able to dump 12 dudes and a Dread in charge range almost wherever I want on on Turn 2 seems big.

JoshTheStampede posted:The crusader is noticeably tougher and holds more guys, which may matter for BTs with their big mixed squads. But you're right, the Raven puts out more offence and can carry a dread, which puts it ahead most of the time for me. I suppose saying who I want to carry might help any advice. I'm thinking of putting Helbrecht (or a captain), Emperor's champion, an Apothecary, and a Company Veteran squad. The rest of the capacity I'll fill with what fits. Maybe a Lieutenant or more veterans, or a small crusader squad if the space is available.

To be honest I'll probably end up owning both at some point. Especially if I get the Stormraven first. I got the BT upgrade kit and I wouldn't want the pretty Landraider doors to go to waste.

I guess worry was the wrong word. I should have said plan on it blowing up. If I had enough Grots I'd make a grot and weirdboy list. Mash them up front and use the grots to supercharge the weirdboys into doing a perils of the warp intentionally while they're in range of enemy units.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Weirdboyz have enough wounds that they can't die from their first peril. After that it's just gravy. You have to worry more about the D3 mortal wounds to everything within 6". To grots or boyz it's not that big of a deal, but if you're going be getting +4 to your test you perils on a 8+. Again, not a big deal for normal Ork units, but something like Meganobz could be risky.

It really is. My preferred thing to do with many of the Ork lists I run is group enough boyz and grots to near guarantee jumping a full unit of Tankbustas with bomb squigs into the opponent's back line.

Amazon does flash sales for the Badger Patriot 105 fairly often. Normally it's $80, the sale drops it to $40-$50. It's pretty much the AK-47 of the airbrush world.

Tankbustas are probably the worst finecast kit I've ever gotten. Since they have all sorts of armor plates and greeblies there are multiple flow gates coming off of every single one leading to the main body.

The Bee posted:Eh. Raven Guard does it better imo, since instead of a Deep Strike it's a full-on advance deploy. That means you can do that, then move into a better charging range and attack. It also means they don't count as having moved in the movement phase, so they don't take penalties on firing heavy weapons. It doesn't help that Admech really likes their first turn alpha striking, so a deep strike is staving off their best feature. Except if you don't go first then your unit is sitting out within 9" of the enemy. For a fragile, shooty army like Admech the safety of Deep Striking is drat good.

Giant Isopod posted:How do people base slot-base minis? I've been using basing paste to make lava bases, and since that involves a lot of drybrushing, I kept getting paint on minis if I did it after they were based, so in this last experiment I made a base around the slot, but that left the center exposed. I could cover it with more paste but then I'm back to having to paint around the mini. I either clip the slot off and put it on a normal base. Or I just do the base first so I can just paint over any drybrushing mishaps.

SRM posted:I'm not an armylist commenter really, but it's Templars so I thought I'd chime in. One of the big advantages of Crusader Squads is that they can get both heavy/special/power weapons at min size. I'm not saying you have to minmax or anything, but taking advantage of those weapon choices is a must. I don't know what's riding in what but at the moment if I was playing against you I'd just focus down the plasma company vets and your handful of vehicles and defang the army pretty hard. Regular Marines on foot without any rides or special weapons are just going to get merked in any given game - even in 900 point games I've played, my footslogging-heavy Templars just got wrecked. You might have the numbers there to survive some shooting, but you're not putting out much hurt outside of the Leviathan and Stormraven. I'm planning on having Helbrecht, Emperor's Champion, the plasma Company Vets, a 5-man Crusader squad, and the Leviathan riding in the Stormraven. The crusader squad is there mainly if the Stormraven bites it and I need sacrificial models. General plan was to have it fly over to the enemy deployment on T1, dump everyone, and then they all shoot/charge whatever is most important that they can get to. I have to say I think I like the idea of dual chainsword Vanguard Vets more than I think they'll actually perform well. Think I should slim down the Crusader squads to take advantage of them being able to take special, heavy, and sarge weapons? I have a small amount of SoB that I've thought about allying in, but the Leviathan and Stormraven chew up too many points. Those two pretty much there to stay, mainly because I like the models.
