That or bitz sites, the Las-impulsar is 3/4 parts (two for the gun, then the battery pack/cords) that fit onto the gun arm with the Thermal plate. IIRC the multi laser is 2 parts as well, the gun and a custom shield for it. That is of course if you want the multi laser in the first place.

And now I have to login and change ALL my armours. Praise the All Father.

The restriction tend to be in the strat itself, however there is no limit to the strats you can use on a unit. the once per phase is for the use of the strat, not it's target.

*looks at his 9 warglaives, 11 helverins and 6 moriaxs* Yeah, I stopped when I heard we were getting a new kit and hoped it was a armigar variant, maybe a plastic moriax. Anyway.... the Dauntless Defender detachment looks interesting. I like that they pre-empted an issue with some of the missions. Free tank shock on your front runner is a nice add and the bombardment strat boosts the crusader or helps out with the new defender and the castellan. Also a nice defensive buff to hold the line against those heavy hitters.

And Chaos has 5 datasheets to the Imperial 2, which is why I was hoping for them to keep it. But them's the breaks. Luckily I already use the FW moriax in my lists which gives me an extra 3 if i need it. In fact my usual formation of 2 big/6 small fits well with the Spearhead at Arms detachment. Which is the armigar heavy one.

So detachment preview is up. Warcom Article Quick note, armigars apparently lost battline, there is a detachment that gives it back and give the babysitter multiple leashes. Outside of that these don't look too bad.

So I return to the swarm as I prepare for a charity tournament in October. This year I will be taking my nids to this year’s Hunger Wars (last year’s report here). I decided to take something other than my usual knights. Plus been building up to this force for a while. Right now all I need to paint is the Haruspex, norn and the second parasite, which are primed and I’m working on currently (pict pending). General gist of this list is to have as many healers as possible, with the big bugs regening themselves or the swarm as able. The twin parasites will hit soft targets to generate heal bots in the form of ripper swarms. The one with Instinctive Behavior is to give it First Strike so it can create more swarms to distract or just in general. Lictors will be action monkeys with the bonus of generating CP if a tasty target presents itself. I’m going to test this list against a friend over the weekend, believe he is doing Iron Hands with a bit of a vehicle focus (as you do), so it would be a good test.

By increasing the points on the bigger knights, that leaves less points for armigars, especially in Imperial lists.

Sorry for the delay, was thinking on this when I saw it monday. Mind you this is based mostly on theory as I run all fleshborer units personally. So devourers have fallen out of favor since they are just two shots at S4 (down from 3) Spinefists aren't bad since you have twice the shots of a fleshborer and twin-linked. The re-roll kind of making up for the lower strength. As for the special weapons the only one that stands out for me is the strangleweb. D6 18" flamer with devastate is not bad, granted you'll need 6s to harm just about everything, but then that thing is taking the wounds. It's also assault which pairs with the fleshborer/spinefists The other specials are Heavy, so if you run the guants they can't shoot. Possibly the only situation for devourers is if your running tervigons to give them Lethal, but then your fishing for 6s and with S4 your less likely to wound MEQ then with the S5 fleshborer. I stand by the fleshborer for this edition, but only due to the fact I have so many of the bloody things. Found the extra strength and range works for me. I do have a full unit of spinefists buried in my pile, but haven't had the time or memory to dig them up. Would be interested in trying them. Hope this helps a bit.

Honestly that techmarine was the hardest, though priming it red would speed the process but between that and the failcast material it just looked bad for a while. Sister helped out in getting a solution that made it table ready. Good luck on the Lion, as long as you get it done in time all good.

And they are done. Well they were done last week I just kept forgetting to take the bloody pict. Also IRL is getting busy so no re-vowing this event.

I'd grab the fragdrill in a sec if they did a MTO/rerelease for it. It's the only faction terrain missing from my collection right now. Might go after the wolf standard and the SW character pack depending on when they drop.

So back in the mid 90s there was a series of live action shorts fans did and GW endorsed. We're talking Final Liberation quality cut scene kind of stuff. It was a few Space Hulk inspired bits iirc. Been a long time since I seen them. But GW did sell offical versions of it at Games Day. If my copy is somewhere in my current home I'll have to find it, but I believe I gifted it to a friend over a decade ago. Ok found it on YT here. Thing was made in 1996.

So about that, much like other streaming services you have access to the animations as long as you have access to the service via your subscription. It does take up space and bandwidth on their servers plus depending on if the people on the team get residuals or not is another cost. Though with them being so small I doubt GW did a residual payment in the studio contracts. It was most likely a one and done deal. Now if they so decide, they can just remove the animations from their service for whatever reason and then it's gone. That being one the major points of physical vs digital media. Physical media lasts fro as long as the storage device it's on lasts. Digital media can disappear with a flick of a switch. Warner Bros got huge amounts of flak for this exact thing from the Infinity Train fandom when they didn't release a physical media version of the show and just removed it from their services. (Not sure if this has been fixed at time of writing) Netflix and Disney are near guilty of this as several of their original programming haven't had a physical release (yet) even with a market for them. (Release a CD of the Visions OST you cowards!) Honestly I like to see GW do even a limited run of physical copies of their Hammer and Bolter series or any of the other multi-episodic series they have done. Much like the ancient Inquisitor tapes that they sold at the early Games Days.

I hope, even with the S&H charge, the issues are still ~50% off retail for them. Granted I have Tigirus already, but like to get the worldbreaker if possible and like to see who else they offer.
