Anyone else masively dissapointed in their forgeworld quality? My Quake wasnt great but I just got my macrogat and the damn injection points have to be carved off the gun end of the barrels, and I mean carved, you have cylindrical injection points right on top of a shaped connection point, and even then theyre barely what Id call even. The amount of flash was way more than Id usually get too. On the plus side my dakka Warlord is complete now, so thats exciting.

Finished up some tokens I made for the Titan Hunter infantry strat. I printed these ages ago and Im on a big AT buzz so I got these and a bunch of weapon options for my Warlord painted over the last few days. Should finsih off my acastus and another Warhound over the next few days too.

So theres a been a little bit of a HH buzz around some of my friends and we're looking to give it a go again. I havent played it since inferno was released. I have a 40k Custodes army and I think I'll be trying them out. Is there a tl;dr for this thread? 1d4chan is okay, but Im a decent enough player to not need unit analysis, Im more thinking about where do I start building a custodes list. I'm thinking of a basis of: Shield Captain with shield and fist/paragon spear (Its magnetised) 2x3/4 spear custodes 3 Hetaeron with shields and sentinel blades (Its what the have and with the FAQ I dont see it as that much of a handicap) Where do i go from here? Do i need some sisters? How important are the vehicles? Is taking a second SC sstill considered kind of a dick move? I just need a few pointers in the right direction so i can get up to the minimum game value and then start trying things out myself.

Im looking at Adm as a batallion support for my custodes, and Im thinking that a couple of ranger squads with a single TUA each might do the trick as my core troops. Sniping off characters at long range and giving access to dunecrawlers is pretty decent. Shame the tua is so expensive.

People wanna play a unique list, let them be and don't get salty about it. They are brand new, with awesome models. Theyre not even that good in the competitive meta.

The amount of salt over a minor detail like this laser sight is actually so disgusting to me. I actually cant stand the even go on the SW facebook group because there is a hugely vocal minority of people spitting bile at the mention of any of the FW releases. This pretty much showed me the kit isnt half as bad as I thought. I'm still not going to buy it, because the plastic kit is just so nice anyway. Its really stupid to send FW emails asking stuff like this. You dont ask an artist why they did a specific thing, the did it because they wanted to. FW's response is exactly the response I'd give if someone asked me the same question. Its basically telling you to stop asking dumb questions.

The downsides to cataphractii are mostly irrelevent in 8th IMO, you will be deep striking them and trying to get that charge off. I was running twin claws, but then I switched to claw/bolter and found their damage output was higher against a better range of targets.

I have a similar opinion on plasma. I'm not sure why peeps like plasma so much, as I'd rather use melta and skip the chance of blowing yourself up. Still, S8 AP-4 is the real draw for melta, as it disallows saves for most vehicles. You now choose whether to take the risk of blowing yourself up, plasma is now the all-rounder weapon.

Honestly I don't see the appeal of melta this edition, the melta bonuses are just okay. I'd rather take lascannons on dreads or fangs than put points into a dedicated melta unit.

If its anything like the GHb for AOS then you will definately need it. It contains matched play updates, new matched play rules, and points updates. Even from that alone its looking pretty mandatory. Itts a bit early to be so definitive on whether its 'optional' or not, but I'd put money on you needing to buy it.

Things go out of stock, it happens. Sign up for the email to let you know when theyre back.

So taking a cue from the prepping for death guard post I think we should start a series of threads each discussing facing off against some of these new army books as they come out. This time: upcoming Craftworld eldar. What we know so far: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/10/17/craftworld-focus-Ulthwé-oct-17gw-homepage-post-3/ https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/10/16/craftworld-focus-iyanden-oct-16gw-homepage-post-3/ So to get started lets talk about your experiances with the index eldar so far.

Well the lone wolf less so. Im currently running 3 5man gh squads in asscan razors. Two rune priests in there and the third has an imperial space marine. Theyre really just support units to gey the rps in smite position and the imp marine is pretty sweet at taking down multiwound models like death guard and characters.

Are they though? An extra point of ld and a combiplas? Good if youre taking the plasma loadout but if you just want a cheap unit to hold obj and protect characters I dont see a reason to take a wg in the squad.

What are you guys using as your bjorn model? Ive been spoiled by contemptors and the boxnought version leaves a lot to be desired. im considering the FW one. I was looking at the FW SW contemptor, but Im concerned about WYSIWYG. Also has anyone considered using the Imperial Space marine? The disintigration weapons are pretty sweet, and 60 points is cheap enough. 4 wounds, 3 attacks, pistol and combi, he makes a pretty good character to ride with razorback GHs.
