Pretty disappointed in the FW team loving up and missing the Mega Dredd out (in addition to the missing weapons and options on the Meka one). Hopefully they'll rectify it eventually with a PDF download or something.

Blasts / Templates to 'randomised number of shots' is really inconsistent in the 7th to 8th conversion. e.g. Flamer: in 7th was flame template, in 8th is D6 Auto Hits Burna: in 7th was flame template, in 8th is D3 Auto Hits Frag Missile: in 7th was Small Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots Frag Grenade: in 7th was Small Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots Battle Cannon: in 7th was Large Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots Thermal Cannon: in 7th was Large Blast, in 8th is D3 Shots (increasing to D6 versus units of 5+ models) Thunderfire Cannon: in 7th was 4x Small Blast, in 8th is 4D3 Shots etc. IMO they should have made these weapons 1 roll to hit doing XDY + Z hits, like Blast weapons in KOW. Would have reduced die rolling and makes for a thematic split between blast weapons and ones which just have a high rate of fire.

I noticed something amusing. Skarbrand has a rule which forbids any units within 8" of him from falling back. This means if you pair him up with a bunch of Furies or other flying guys you can make any flyers with a minimum movement automatically crash by charging them and parking him within 8".

Deptfordx posted:I had somehow completely failed to notice bikers were 2 wounds and had rapid fire 2 on there bike bolters now. Guess I'm going to have to finish painting that bike squad that's been sitting half-painted in a box for about 2 years. Shooting models have three options now: 1. Fire everything that isn't a pistol or grenade 2. Fire all pistols 3. One model may throw a grenade So if you have a Biker with a Plasma Gun, he can fire the bike bolters and the plasma. But a biker couldn't fire the bolters and his pistol.

adamantium|wang posted:In this case 3 models of the red unit can see a model in the green unit and fire. However, there is this one weird trick that WAACers Hate: In situations like this, don't use fast rolling (iirc technically it's an optional rule), and revert back to the 'one model, one weapon at a time' default rules. The green player can take a casualty on the exposed dude and then the rest of the unit is safe from further shooting (multi hit weapons could still spread but I guess that's 'thematic' for a blast or something).

IIRC the original basilisks were designed before the accessory sprue with the track guards was a thing, so most likely some adaption would be needed to make them all fit together. Official pictures still show it without the track guards (except for the box picture for some reason) so I don't know if the modern kit was recut to fit better - https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Imperial-Guard-Basilisk

Floppychop posted: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. What up Rokk buddy!  Though I think I'll end up using mine as Flash Gitz with these as Ammo Runtz:  Re the new Aggressors, does anyone remember when the Gauntlets of Ultramar were special? Now it feels every fucker has power fists with built in guns... though some of the design elements do remind me of the old rear end Devastator concept images (can't find them now but they featured a rocked launcher collar and dual underslung assault cannons arm braces).

Hummingbird James posted:Don't forget that there's a near-perpetual motion engine inside it, that they don't have the instruction manual for because the guy who invented it didn't share how it worked before he died. So, since they're too scared to turn it off in case it doesn't turn back on again, they store Dragoons and Ironstriders either in huge circular barracks, where the walkers are constantly turning and the riders have to be lowered on with a huge crane, or on huge treadmills to (very inefficiently) transfer that energy into other machinery. Someone should make this into a GD Diorama with a bunch of those fuckers inside giant hamster wheels

Also Possessed get an extra wound, and they have a psychic power which buffs a unit with 5+ FNP. Plus for 2CP one of your units can shoot twice in the shooting phase.

The Bee posted:So that's foreshadowing Admech and Imperial Guard soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Chaos Demons was also coming, as well as Thousand Sons and probably at least one non-codex Marine. GW basically said in the promo stuff that they wanted to concentrate on Imperium versus Chaos and bring that conflict to the fore. As if they didn't already have an entire other game designed based on that...

TheChirurgeon posted:It's pretty clearly just going to give you one extra fight. I'd have to see the wording on Consolidating to verify not being able to fight them, though. On the turn you charge you can only allocate attacks against a unit that you charged this turn. You can consolidate into other units, but can't hit them because you didn't charge them.

According to that article, Black Legion Rubric Marines are going to be pretty powerful. Which is pretty weird because I thought Rubrics were specific to the Thousand Sons due to them being caused by Ahriman's ritual?

So far all of the Grey Knight strategies are lifted almost verbatim from the Space Marine ones (extra fighting, final attack, buff guys next to a dreadnought). I suspect every faction will get those or some variant thereof as Chaos Marines have the Fight one too (albeit Khorne only).

Technically the Crux Terminatus doesn't provide the inv save (it's just an icon, unlike a Rosarius or Iron Halo), GW just called the rule that when they gave Termies an inv save back in 4th(?) ed. Also only Termies get true Cruxes. The smaller ones aren't properly Cruxes, they are just representations of the fact that the marine has Terminator Honours and could man a suit if they wished and one was available. (they used to just literally be called Terminator Honours but somewhere along the line a GW fluff person got confused)  EDIT Also it appears that the new 30th anniversary boringman has generated so much negative feedback GW have pulled it from their Facebook page (basically every post was like 'what another plain Primaris, couldn't you have done something interesting like an Ork or at least a Chaos Marine) - or at least it doesn't seem to show up for me any more.

New Chapter Approved book coining out later this year - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/08/09/new-matched-play-rules-in-chapter-approved-aug-9gw-homepage-post-1/ So far the previews seem to just be re-implementations of older rules. Also some stuff being released at the FW Open Day:  Largely 30k (doubtless with eventual 40k rules too) with some BB, mugs and the re-release of the Rogue Idol (which I am mainly hopeful means some other classics like the Landship will be coming back) Zark the Damned fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Aug 9, 2017 |

Zuul the Cat posted:It's dumb that you lose canticles completely though for taking anything else. It should be like Space Marine Chapter tactics and just not apply to anything that doesn't have the Mechanicum keyword. But Chapter Tactics don't work if you have any non-Space Marine units in the detachment, so it is like them.

Zuul the Cat posted:Re: losing canticles/Chapter tactics: oh yeah. Man, I seem to constantly gently caress up what I can and can't do. If I were to just take a Celexus assassin as auxiliary, it shouldn't make me lose canticles, right? Since it's a separate detachment? Yup, putting them in a separate detachment means you get to keep testicles of the omnissiah. You can put Sisters and Assassins in the same detachment as they all have the Imperium faction keyword. Could go with like an Inquisitor for the HQ, Assassin and one of the Sister squads as one of the smaller force orgs.
