my kinda ape posted:EXCEPT the base price of the magaera is 440 and the styrix is 340?????? Who loving wrote this poo poo??? Doesn't the Magaera regenerate wounds or maybe include its unique weapon in the base cost? That seems like a particularly egregious oversight.

my kinda ape posted:The power level is higher on the magaera too so it's not like someone fat fingered a single digit. Huh. Yeah that's hopefully going to get clarified, especially since the "does not include wargear" means you're paying an extra 100 points for the exact same hull.

TheChirurgeon posted:It can mean breaking and fleeing, blipping out of existence, phasing out, succumbing to additional wounds, being eaten by your comrades, etc. I seriously prefer this method of resolving morale. It abstracts an individual's momentary lack of discipline or hesitation that gets them cut down, which is much more plausible than the entire unit fleeing as a group. It's that scene where the guy takes off his helmet to look at the dent just before getting shot a second time.

Huh, this renegade list is pretty disappointing. It's design also absolutely clashes with a lot of things that 8th edition got right. There's needless LOLrandom charts, and Uncertain Worth requires multiple term book keeping. I haven't done the comparison to Guard, but I'll take your word for it that they're a worse deal. I guess on a 3 you just get really good mutants? The compacts seem almost interesting, but not enough to make up the difference. I imagine people will just run cults as spiky guard.

LingcodKilla posted:Why? They are going to release kits of them soon and then you are stuck with a bunch of monoposes. The monoposes convert nicely, and once the kits are released the starter halves are likely going to spike in eBay cost. (Their perceived value will be compared to the individual kits instead of 1/3rd of a starter box.)

Bretts got killed off in a paragraph and they literally "it was all a dream" to the whole setting You could fit the number of active 8e Brett players inside the miniatures cases of Marines players and still have room for like three other WHFB armies' supporters. It would have been a nerd outrage like we've never seen before. You don't obsolete the most popular faction of your most popular game.

Did they just forget to include the points costs for the Black Sword and the Sword Brother in a Crusade Squad? It seems like Black Templars points got rolled into basic Marines halfway and then they quit.

MasterSlowPoke posted:Special Characters typically have the wargear included, and Sergeant level upgrades are almost always free, aside from Space Wolf Terminator Wolf Guard. Thanks, I completely missed the "(Including Wargear)" over the special characters listing. That seems like a distinction that should have been stressed. I'm starting to put stock in the  theory that points are deliberately hard to use because the Big Power Level lobby is in it with the Reptilians.

There's a pretty good write up of the Celestial Lions here. The African pastiches come in the form of the communal traditions, oral history, naming conventions, and getting screwed over by There are no power-spears or superstitious native stereotypes (that I've found, anyway), which is pretty goddamn refreshing in wargaming.

chutche2 posted:Space marines are supposed to be tactical experts and should be bringing the equipment they need. They should have an idea of what they're going to be facing. Eeeehhhh for the first twenty or so years of fluff they were slavish adherents to doctrine, except for the ones who were slavish adherents to tradition. "Coloring in the lines" seems to be a good way to define Primaris and distinguish them from the more flexible regular marines. Also it's kinda awesome that their hands are too big for most wargear.

The Templars "no psykers" rule appears on page 10, which is certainly some weird organisation. I actually picked up a second set of Primaris to bolster the Black Templars I started about fifteen years ago. Really pumped to finally get some of this stuff on the table, even though it feels like that was a lifetime ago.

Agentdark posted:Anyone got a good source for making Inquisitorial Acolytes? Like is there a good kit somewhere that could be used. I want to make a small force of acolytes with power maces and pistols. Combining Skitarri Vanguard helmets with a box of Empire state troops would look pretty rad. I think a guy did that for a steampunk-themed guard, but it would probably work better for acolytes.

The static pose marines in the DI box generally have two head position variants. It's a little thing, but it really stretches out the repeatability of the sculpt. Especially if you're mixing in chapter specific heads or bare ones.

That marine looks crazy good. The only thing I'd add is that you could blend the highlights by either: A) mixing the base and highlight colors together and painting it over the "shore" where the colors meet, or B) mixing the base color with a mate medium and using it to wash the edges of your highlight. It's a totally optional step and he looks great without any additional work, but something to consider if you're looking for a way to push yourself.

I used the chapter generator from a million pages ago to get the Emerald Wizards, which was the least likely Wizard of Oz reference. But they'd make rad Thousand Sons successors.

Niche protection isn't a bad thing, my first impression is that it's kind of cool to see them forcing tough choices in their super protagonist faction. Quick question, what do the old DE Mandrake figures best count as in the new list? Wytches or Blood Brides maybe?
