  1. Past hour
  2. TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE 4th TYRANIC WAR I'm told that Detachments other than Firestorm exist, but have yet to be convinced. GAME 6 - SPAWNING GROUNDS Another match against Kieran's Hive Frost Bjorn, swollen to 1,250 points worth of nasty, and LARGE beasties. Much like last time, it seems I have trouble with some of the big monsters. Or the medium monsters. Or the small ones, honestly, I came out of this game with one model left, and a grand total of 'a dead hive guard, some gaunts who got respawned, and a few wounds split between the big nids' for the trouble. Oh well. That Tyranofex has proven to by a massive thorn (or biological tank-buster) in my side, having now killed off 3 dreadnoughts almost single-handedly. Rupture Cannons! They're good! Probably would have gone a little better for me if either dread had been able to land more than a single hit on it over 2-3 turns worth of missile AND lascannon shots. I'm SO good at rolling dice. Now with some delightful snow bases! This match convinced me not to bother teleporting my terminators in. An extra turn of shooting from them may have helped things a little. This Crusade Day was the first deployment of a few of my newer models. My techmarine, second dread, Judiciar. None of them achieved much in game 6, but it was nice to get them on the board for the inevitable bout of 'new model dies horribly in their first match' syndrome. Once I learn how to take a decent picture it's over for you lot.
  3. We can still look forward to an audible release if they hold it back from release on their own terrible store, at least :')
  4. The Map Room: De Wiart thoughtfully rubs his chin at de Brae's questions. 'Well that, Castinius old friend, is the rub. I suspect Her Nibs doesn't want anyone official to know about it, which means that it's bloody dangerous to everyone involved.' He gently smooths his beard and moustache. Grooming complete, he sports a rueful smile. 'Which also means, we'll likely have to spill a little claret.' He gives de Brae a knowing look.
  5. Not sure. The renderer in Navisworks, despite being from the same company, seems to work much better, as it does for throwing the models around. This could also be the impetus i need to start footling around in 3Ds Max. That said, i'm realising i might have gone overboard in some areas with my desire to have everything scaled as it "should" be... ammo storage has always been one of my bugbears in 40k, as nothing ever seems to have enough..., so I went to the effort of making sure ammo drums etc. were comparably sized and contained enough rounds to be worthwhile in a firefight. Modelling each and every individual bolt round was, however, probably not necessary and has added a great many polygons to the models that don't need to be there at the scale. So i'm currently going through an exercise of removing these to see if it marginally improves things.
  6. Today
  7. I fill old basing texture pots with water for weight/stability and then use blue tac - never seen the need for actual handles.
  8. Today I got an insane eBay deal on Age of Darkness, plus a land raider proteus plus 20 extra marines plus a heavy weapons box plus Liber Astartes plus Liber Hereticus I’m absolutely buzzing … but I promised my wife I would wait until my birthday to actually open it
  9. I'm not sure the Blood angel one comes with a decal sheet, but if it does, it's almost certainly this one:
  10. Zidemi: From your training and personal experience with the Salamanders, and now your Deathwatch indoctrination, you know that the Orks cannot be ignored. They must be destroyed, weeded out whenever and wherever they take root, before their numbers can grow and swell to catastrophic proportions. However, you would also know that a viable tactic in dealing with the greenskins is to allow them to advance, stretching out their forces, drawing them piecemeal onto your defences and annihilating them with overwhelming firepower. It appears to you that perhaps that is Kine's intent? It is a strategy with no small risk, though. If you open your door and the guest is more dangerous than you believed, it can be difficult - or even impossible - to close the door again. Moridyn: Skaayn nods in tacit approval of your acceptance of the way things are. “Repairs proceed on the Supremacy according to schedule. Assuming these Orks don't cause too much trouble, we should be ready to depart in twelve days.”
  11. The vulcan will land more hits when close, yes, however swarm missiles will be landing hits on things from 40" away without the need to get into reaver kicking zone, which is huge.
  12. I’m not sure it’s fair to accuse them of misrepresenting the nature of the caution. The exact text from Goonhammer reads: “these rules don’t seem playable. Oddly, the designers seem to think the same, so they’ve given us a big note at the start of this section warning us not to use these rules in a competitive environment or when time is a factor. Time is a factor at narrative events and even club nights, assuming you get chucked out at some point, so for me this pretty much rules out the army.” https://www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-review-the-battle-of-beta-garmon/ None of that warning stops them necessarily being fun but the warning about time taken has been represented accurately. Most games will have some sort of time limit, even in a casual environment. If the rules can only be used when you’ve got endless time to play then for a lot of people they’ll be effectively useless. Plus you’ve still got the other criticisms such as being able to switch tactics at will to disregard your negative traits. Again, none of this stops these rules necessarily being fun but the concerns and criticisms seem legitimate to me.
  13. I was wondering if any one had any pictures or examples of what the Primaris Blood Angels and Dark Angels transfers included in the combat patrols look like? I can't find it now, but I'm sure I saw the DA one had some Successor Chapters symbols on it?
  14. Clearly the intended interpretation is that a Night Lords dreadnought can charge, but only if it's in a transport.
  15. I've been using dollar store blutac alternatives for years with no issues or complaints
  16. Just to add some experience I've had if it helps. I always work from a metallic basecoat, and it is difficult to sometimes get good coverage over the top. Something that helps is a wash over the metals first, it seems to help the next layer cover better.
  17. The rules look great, and I do feel goonhammer misrepresented the nature of the caution! Honestly they look fun :) just requiring good communication between players, and maybe yes, markers!
  18. That's an interesting idea for the Kill Team. I do like how the Captain kit-bash came out
  19. Nice work - I like how the Judicar's sword and the Apothecary's armour came out
  20. Yea that’s the limited edition cover, it’s going to be people who ordered multiple boxes
  21. I don't use a painting handle (I use an old 118ml Liquitex medium bottle), but I use Blu-Tac as well ... can't say if it works as well as the other options, but I've never had a problem with it.
  22. Cute yet disgusting - great work
  23. Lots of these already on pre-order from eBay sellers. The one I’ve screenshotted says it will ship 2 April. Although this might just be people selling on the books from the Kroot box of course
  24. Well, hopefully we'll get to see the others at some point
  25. Moridyn Moridyn listened to the discussion going to and fro. In his mind, the decision was already made by the Inquisitor, so any thoughts about the Ork threat was pointless. Reaching down to his belt, he took up the chain-bayonet and clamped it onto his shotgun. Pressing the activation stud, the chainblade gave a keening hum of readiness. He looked at Skaayn, "Watch-Captain, when do we deploy to Dorgha?"
