Jonny Roxtar Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 @LutherMax Thoughts? Well im thinking the red on the rhino matches the red on my marines so you should probably just send it to me. Exceptional painting there, any criticisms i have have been said about the dozer blades and the cable. Once they are addressed it should be perfect LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm really stoked about all the new announcements. My goal is still to complete a Demi-company for narrative play and themes. It's going to be an adjustment with how all formations as we know them are gone. Still as excited as ever and can't wait to see where we are headed. Really looking forward to the generals handbook too. On another note. I just took the Janus model and converted him to a counts as Mephiston. sebs_evo7, Father Mapple and Blindhamster 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm excited too – I think it will be a positive change overall. The only thing I'm anxious about is not getting to ever use the Golden Host I'm trying to finish – but that's my fault for being so slow Dont-Be-Haten and OrbOfAntioch 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I guess I gonna spread the word here as well. Not just that we are fighting the Tyranids while splitting our forces to be everywhere at once just to get our butt kicked (okay to be fair we do some butt kicking as well)....now we are also split apart from the rest of the Imperium (at least the other Chapter)! GW really likes to see us suffer it seems. :D http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333126-big-announcement-2pm-220417/?p=4718028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Well, despite everything that happens, we know we still make it to Terra. So they can make all the stabs at Baal they want, Angels will always own the heavens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrbOfAntioch Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) My friend would always make fun of me for having not one bolter in my army.. (My "competitive" brain did not have bandwidth to fit bolt guns to power fisted DCs) Well, in response to that, I added two combi bolters. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/5UJGRN.jpg Edited April 24, 2017 by OrbOfAntioch Charlo and Filius 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hmm. Do I get Angel's Blade or not? I did. I enjoyed the fluff. Alphael and Karlean got a lot of page time. I say do it. I find myself rereading the supplements more than I care admit some times lol. Arkangilos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Get it and then ask for a voucher from GWs lol (they said they were giving vouchers to anyone that bought a codex in the last 8 weeks, not sure if the supplements count...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I...Wasn't too impressed by it. Dante+mephiston would probably be a better buy, to be honest, but if you already have those, go for it! Or buy more models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 To be honest, I doubt I'll read it anytime soon; I've not even read Exterminatus yet. Just thinking of getting it for the rules and for being a completionist. £22.50 plus postage though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I was 7 Terminators away from my all Terminators Archangel List. I bet it will still be good in 8th edition. If there are one or two units that could really benefit from a refresh of ALL units in the game, Terminators and Dreadnoughts would be the ones. So, no slacking for me still! With the ETL not happening this year, I think it's almost providential. It's like someone let Semper know the new edition was coming out, so the ETL would have caused a lot of consternation about what to paint for your game, the ETL, and the new edition.

Xenith Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I was 7 Terminators away from my all Terminators Archangel List. I bet it will still be good in 8th edition. Yes, I think units like this/focused armies will really benefit from the "new ways to play" both in matched play, narrative and the middle one. I'm most psyched about the reintroduction of meat grinder. Imagine those 5 units of termies vs endlessly respawning nids. All you have to do is survive.

Charlo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Aye, they said that because of the FOURTEEN new Force orgs, you'll find it hard not to make an army out of the models you've got for any previous formations etc. For all we know we'll get some nice "charge from deep strike" command points too... Who knows!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We're also getting FOCs with faction specific command point usages eventually in the future. Really looking forward to that specific part tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm so so so so so so SO hyped for 8th ed! While I'm currently on a BA hiatus (so when Angelus drops I can plow forward without burnout) I'll be eager to see the rules and contribute here (and play some games with what I do have...).

Panzer Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 You and me both, Charlo. :D Also I'm kinda glad that I was still busy with my Tau so far so that I couldn't build the special BA lists based around specific formations I was thinking about. I doubt I'll be able to play a 100% Dreadnought list or a 100% Tank list anytime soon with just the free basic rules and there is no way to tell when BA will get their battletome/Codex/whatever. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I doubt I'll be able to play a 100% Dreadnought list or a 100% Tank list anytime soon with just the free basic rules I can guarantee that you will be able to, on release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While using a proper FOC? I'm obviously not talking about Unbound/Open play or something like that. My group will probably stick to Matched play like most other groups. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While using a proper FOC? I'm obviously not talking about Unbound/Open play or something like that. My group will probably stick to Matched play like most other groups. From the looks of things, FOC gives you lots of bonuses, such as command points, but are not compulsory at all. So you'd be able to do matched play, 1500pts, but no force org. You still get some command points if all your dreads or tanks are from the same faction, etc. If your opponent decided to use a force org to get some bonus command points, then that's up to them. Of course, you can just thrown down with 10 unit points or whatever, you drop down 10 dreads and your opponent drops 10 units as well, then see who wins. As I said elsewhere, meatgrinder with all dreads on one side will be fun. That was always a great scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
