Burni Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Got a listen in on a chat to Tom the rules guy talking about Acastus FAQ. It's imminent, was going to come with Shadow & Iron but they didn't want to confusing things at the event (with it being on the same day as the release). He wouldn't say what it is, but said it was a major nerf but wouldn't change anything on the Terminal (as they are very aware people had spent money purchasing the terminals). Not a lot on detail there but hopefully some will find it interesting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules for shooting knights or something? Changing the points kinda solves Acastus spam without altering something else...

Burni Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah, we couldn’t work out what it could possibly be. Maybe we misunderstood him as he was trying to be a bit vague? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Today was an arm day, finally got my plasmas and fists done (and spent an inordinate amount of time just posing them around making "swoosh" sounds, khem). Now to make more carapace guns and I might even have decent midfield Lords in use soon. Fajita Fan and Dosjetka 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah, we couldn’t work out what it could possibly be. Maybe we misunderstood him as he was trying to be a bit vague? Maybe they can limit the number of Acastus, like 2 per maniple or something, but I really dislike when they limit the number of something because it's too powerful. Make it less overpowering to achieve balance; limiting their number and leaving them overpowered simply makes them autoincludes leading to boring lists. This kinda worries me that they might start tinkering with the ruleset. I haven't painted anything in like 4 days, I feel like bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulahan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Drunkenly ordered a second box of the starter last night... oops. :p (Yeah, was planning to anyways) And today assembled my two Warhound legs, and as much of the chassis as I can until the magnets come. Still need to get weapons started too, but that's a good start I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Today I took delivery of two warbringers and a Warlord-Sinister. Plans are afoot for both. I think I’ll do a Warbringer first, perhaps seeing if I can magnetise the top gun, while thinking about how to do the Psi-Titan. I’d like to replace some of the iconography on it, including a modified titanicus symbol like in the book and maybe some lions or lightning bolts, instead of the usual eagles. I’m going to dig through my transfers for stuff like the script on FW’s one. We’ll see how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildweasel Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Received my order with the Questoris Upgrades for the GME Knights, the new Command Terminal Pack, a Knight Terminal Pack, and Astorum transfers for my partner. (Oh and yesterday snagged a second starter so yay.) Are meltaguns and rocket pods on Questoris considered mandatory up grades, or just “nice ways to fill out the last few points?” And how much do people actually insist on WYSIWYG with meltas?

Fajita Fan Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Because they’re so tiny it’s almost a moot point, no one can see a melta from across the table but it’s good to make things clear. If I take a squad with them I’ll actually say, “this squad with meltas is moving here” but I’m that kind of player. If I can manage a win I want it because I did things right. wildweasel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildweasel Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Aye. I also tend, in such cases, to go all or nothing with a unit/squad when not WYSWYIG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot on detail there but hopefully some will find it interesting Sorry for slightly derailing the thread, but this is excellent news. If they're not going to nerf the card, they could nerf the number you can field. But, I think modifying the weapon stats would be the easiest fix, and hes no more effect than any other typo correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRowan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I built a Cerastus Knight last night. Not built any of the knight models for this game before and it was a lot less fiddly than I thought it would be. Great little model too.

Mandragola Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 TITI did nothing, which is annoying. For the last few days I’ve been frequently thinking about assembling my Warbringers and converting my Psy-Titan but have had no hobby time to do any of this. Might get to do a bit tonight but have to work late. Rubbish. This does mean I’ve had time to at least think about the Psy-Titan. I want its armour to look more unusual than that of a normal Warlord. I’m thinking of trying to change the styling quite significantly, to something closer to the smooth aesthetic of Custodes. This may or may not prove to be realistic. There’s no rush to get this guy done though, so I might leave him alone until after I’ve done this vow to complete 6 titans in the next couple of months. I don’t think the Psi-Titan will feature in the vow, but I’m looking forward to working on it. It’s a cool kit. I might feature a Warbringer or two in the vow though, as those look like fun models to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandragola Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Paint will be mainly black I think. I’m going to more or less replicate the FW one in terms of colours, though I’m currently thinking of a doing the black more glossy-looking and using a chrome look on the edging rather than gold. That’s both to contrast it with my Astorum and Mortis, which both have gold edging, and because I want it to look colder. But also, I want the armour plates to look significantly different. Greaves almost like a Telemon Dread, and so on. I think it might end up looking like a significantly different beast – if I get round to it! Must say I'm feeling a bit more interested in the Warbringers and Psi-Titan than the Mortis right now. But can't afford to be Servitor-ised for failing my vow!

noigrim Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Tried the white dwarf rules for my Metalica, an useful combination of +1 repair, veteran princeps, machine defiance and -1 air strike, threw in the scatter mines to hamper the enemy a bit. I've also played with machine spirits for the first time, it was fun, specially when a titan took over and regenerated all its shields when I pushed the reactor. wildweasel and Reyner 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) I'd love to try some of those but they really need a US distributor. For my psi-titan I may end up spraying all the panels aluminum and doing some green contrasts over heavy stippling. This is moot because my psi-titan is still sitting on a sprue and I haven't finished my first two legios yet.

Dragonlover Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 TIAT I finally came up with a cognomen for Legio Brythonia: The Prophets of Silence. This past week I've also been painting, bringing a few hulls up to the completed stage. Should update the plog, need to find a decent photography spot in the new flat.

Brother Captain Arkley Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) TIAT - Close to finishing the Barons for my Banners... Planning some Cerastus Knights next and beyond them my first Warlord. I have seen my transfers for the Gorgons and I am VERY VERY happy with the result. Thinking on to my Warlord I am wondering what I should do weapon wise... I own all Warlord guns apart from the Turbo Lasers which I will get once the Psi-titan is back in stock. Should I paint one of each? I am very tempted to do a DakkaLord (All Gatling) Edited February 19, 2020 by Wolf Guard Einar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
