They already do this for GW sponsored Tournaments. Models have to be from their range or have most of their parts from GW kits. Same goes for their stores. So that won't change anything.

After seeing the large amount of kits Ghamak has ripped. I'm holding until we seeing an actually filing. This entire situation smells fowl and not from the megacorp side for once. Let's see what happens and wait for another source to add in to at least confirm some of what he has said.

Personally the same, but I donated the mags from the Imperium set to my FLGS so new hobbyist had something to read and get more of the setting. The rules section I could chuck due to the edition change mid collection. Was thinking the same for this one and the missions if 11th ends up being a 10.5 style update.

This maybe a test case for GW to see how far they can stretch their legal claim over derivatives of their IP. Which I understand are derivatives themselves, but I digress. Personally I hope GW loses this one as this smell of Harmony Gold levels of over reach. Which GW has been skirting in the last decade. It also depends on where this lawsuit is being filed.

Actually I found out how they are doing it in the US version. Just forgot to post it. So anyway you can purchase additional binders at $3 per binder, which after the S&H is $5.50 per binder. Honestly If I'm going to scan the bloody things I don't need them. Which I should get on, been sick most this week and it's been frakiking with my head. Also stupidity ate most of my swarm so....

So welcome to the Hive. The tree one is more striking, It would make the larger bugs pop more then the mostly green versions. The darker green chitin is my second pick. Also just simply amazing work by the way.

I'd be more interested in the Kreig one if I didn't already have 3 artillery teams. Depending on the price point the nid one does have my interest.

I feel your pain brother. It's going to be interesting to see what their extra wargear does on the tabletop once the rules convert over. (If they do)

So of your list, the Gallant and Paladin had the most changes from the index to codex. The Gallant lost it's -1 to hit in melee for a movement trick (extended consolidation) and the Paladin lost it's free rerool per phase for +1 AP on ranged against the closest target. The Lancer is a good pick overall due to it's free tank shock and it hits as hard as Canis Rex in melee. The Castellan is a good anti-tank platform with it's re-roll damage ability you have a better then average chance to one shot a vehicle with teh volcano lance and the plasma decimator will melt MEQs without having to overcharge. Defender looks like an interesting addition to the roster as it does what it's title states. having a native 4++ is nice since we lost Rotate Ion in all but one detachment, plus bonded armigars have DR 1 which will help out greatly against D2 weapons which are all over the place. Plus it's main weapons are decent. It's plasma is just a shorter range version of the Castellan's and the Conversion Beamer is good for heavy infantry or vehicle busting. Really the main three of your force will depend on the detachment you take. Spearhead at Arms works with your decent number of armigars as you can effect all of them with the number you have. Gate Warden Lance is good for a shooty heavy list and Valorstrike is a good all rounder. Crunching the numbers, dropping an armigar for the vindicare isn't a bad idea as it can go character hunting. You have the points in your original list to just upgrade the Crusader to a Castellan. I'm not too kin on the Paladin anymore. Index version was an auto-include, but now I'm not too sure. There are other options, but it really depends on your local meta. An Errant would work nice if you deal with a large amount of vehicles are even other knights. The Warden is nice versus hordes.

The US just got up to Issue 30, we're 3 months behind the initial release. Scanning isn't really an issue, my job is literally scanning documents. Just that I have to 1) remember to bring the packet to work and 2) have a slow day, which is coming up. Things slow down around here during the holiday season. So will be good on my end. If you want to make your own version (and you would be ahead of me) your welcome to do some. Kind of surprised it's not a thing already on reddit or imagr.

Bit of an update, I have been working on this army in the background but life has been odd of late. So haven’t gotten many picts. I’m going to be adding two more tanks, mostly cause these were on the docket for a bit and FLGS has a modified CtA thing going on next month as we are doing our own Orktober events and one part involves painting up vehicles. Sooo good thing I held off on these right? Adding a Rogel Dorn and a Deathstrike, which happens to be my second Deathstrike. Now while I was planning on building an artillery park for the Extralife Megabattle, the EO changed how the megabattle is going to be done and it would not be good of me to take up an entire table myself. As a final event for Orktober he wants to do a landing invasion via Battle of Gela with the Imperium and it’s allies as the Axis and the Orks and their helpers as the Allies. Which seems fitting all things considering. Anyway…. I volunteered to make the defenses, which are going to be some bunkers, gang stronghold walls and a fortress of vengeance as the center piece. I’ll be bringing the airforce and most of the artillery I was planning for this event anyway as the EO gave me about the same amount of space for setup (a 4ftx4ft area) in the middle of two tables. So will need to get another Artillery Team done as well. I did get some of the deathriders pieced together with the usual head/tail addition that I was doing for my krieg. Not sure what I’m going to do for Dreir just yet, I’m most likely going to replace the rider with something else, just not sure what yet. For now I’m going to use the Deathriders as Rough Riders, cause Deathriders are not too good without Drier and even then their meh. I was planning on finding a calvary leg set that I could attach to some cadian torsoes and use my felinid heads and have them riding ferasian wolves since the horse has the same basic stat as the wolves, for some reason. (example show in pict) Anyway while waiting the artist that makes the felinid parts I use just went and made wolf calvary for his winterguard to ride. Now while I’d like to keep this force usable in GW stores. This is just too easy a pull and much cheaper. I was thinking of keeping them close to my general felinids, but Rough Riders are from their own regiment anyway so might as well do the same here. If I want to use RR at GW I’ll just use the DR models and call them RR. Also pieced together the krieg weapon teams with flamers cause why not? On that note, another discussion in the forums got me thinking about a combined arms force. Something of a quickish recon force supported by knight armigars instead of the bulkier Russes. Though I could replace the Cadian Castellan with another command squad, I’d lose an order but could spread the orders better and have two blocks for them as opposed to one. Something to think on and allows me to use some knights on the side and even possibly paint up a new squad just for this type of support role.

Yeah, this is the issue with these for those not in England. By the time it starts/finishes in other areas we have moved onto another edition. Happened with Imperium last time. I'm also sure that the lore parts arrive a little out of order. I'll double check my current set. Worst case I just rescan the batch every other month and update the pdf. Won't have time for a few weeks, but once I get this done with the lore section for a test I'll PM you the link. Should look to do this for the Imperium set too so I can dump the binders.

I already pulled apart all the mags I've gotten so far (on Issue 30), it would take a little time to scan and convert them, but will look into it later. Was there a specific section of the lore/rules you were looking at getting? Or just those two sections period. Also does anyone across the pond know if they sent out another binder? Imperium had 4 and my one CP binder is overloaded at current.

This is kind of what Adeptus Titanicus is supposed to be, the issue is that it's a specialist game so might not have a shelf life of more then three years. This is what combat Patrol is turning into, most of the more recent CPs don't have heavy vehicles or monsters. So GW is moving towards that, which is good cause those CPs tend to be the harder ones to deal with.

So last night built a bio/pyrovore for the nid force I'm taking to a tourny next month. The points drop gave me enough room to add a third pyrovore. With this being from the new CP I wanted to have it swapable to the CP's biovore. So magging the contact point so I can swap the top gun.
