Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

As far as I know, Marines have nothing to stop this from happening. Did I miss something?
Shit, I assumed ATSKNF only worked when regrouping at the beginning of the turn. I didn't break out the codex to check
Well that would have changed things...
Haha you should have won the tournament.
Termi Libi + 5 marines + pfist sgt getting chargeed by an I6 Sorcerer + 7 Berzerkers + 5 Khorne Marines + Khorne Aspiring champion with pfist.
But that's really good to know since I thought it was the only real downside to using combat tactics in situations like that. The only weakness I see in it now is getting chased off the board.
While winning the second game would probably should have changed the final game's matchup... I'm still going to agree with you. Oh well!
Of course there was the one guy during the ironman tournament who tried to use his Necron Gauss guns' special rule against my IG Armored Company in close combat. (I think that's what it was.) God that was a satisfying game. Oh look, I have a Vanquisher and two Demolishers left, you have two squads of warriors.
May 2nd guys. Then college is done and it will be time for 40k again. Finally.
Huh, I thought it was a full squad.
Nah, I lost at least 3 of 11 because I had to test morale. I'm pretty sure I lost 4 bolter marines.
I'm going to blame this on only having 90mins to play our games
You mean Abaddon/Kharn/Typhus/Ahriman/Lucius don't? Because if that's what you're saying, you're crazy. They are all damn near the highest ranking people left from their respective legions.
Buy my 40k shit.
Ahriman leads his own warband after he was kicked out of the legion for casting the rubric. Kharn is just a bloodhtirty nutter who joins with warbands to shed a bit of blood (to be fair, this is the same for any World Eater these days, but Kharne doesn't lead, he just kills). Typhus led a coup against Mortarion because he wanted to be out and about spreading nurgles love, and was kicked out by Mortarion. Lucius is the only special character that represents his legion as a whole, perfecting his skill and leading them.
The current crop of special characters (aside from Lucius) represent outcasts of the legions, not the legions themselves, and have combat styles much different to the legions they came from (for example, Mortarion despises the use of tanks, Typhus doesn't). It's like saying Shrike makes an army fight like Raven Guard. He doesn't. He makes them fight like his little band of merry men did when stranded on that planet.
The best way, if they want to make special characters do that, is give those special characters their own bonus, but make Chaos Lords with particular marks have a more 'normal' legion formation.
Buy my 40k shit.
Shit, they're like the most loyal.
Rumour is Alpha Legion will be able to infiltrate their tanks.
Alpha Legion are the hardest to do justice to, because the way they fight means Alpha Legion shouldn't be on the table at all. They mostly get operatives to do the dirty work.
Or like, just automatically lose, because on turn 5, it's revealed that the opposing army is actually Alpha Legion, and you get to influence the game on the table next to you, because your battle was actually a diversion for Alpha Legion operatives to infiltrate that game.
I hope Night Lords at least get some kind of induced night fighting perk, or something to do with fear/terrorism...
My friends Night Lords army from the 3.5 edition codex was a blast to fight.
Everything in it either moved 12" (Bikes and Raptors) or infiltrated. The thing struck fast and hard. it was like being hit with a sack of door knobs. I mean, he still rarely beat my Salamanders with it, but it still a blast to fight and really different to the rest of his armies.
Though his tank hunting havocs with autocannons never accomplished anything. They always infiltrated into a good position to alpha strike one of my tanks off the board, then proceeded to never kill any tanks, even with 8 S8 shots per turn.
Alternate: Non-alpha legion army always deploys first. After opponent's deployment roll a die. 2-3 the left half of the deployed army is revealed to be Alpha Legion. This is now your army for the rest of the game. Adjust game for new points value. 4-5 the right half is Alpha Legion. On a roll of a one, roll again. New result is followed as above. On a subsequent one the Alpha Legion failed to infiltrate the ranks and withdraw to fight again, opponent instantly wins. On a roll of a six, roll again. New result is followed as above. On a subsequent six the Alpha Legion had succeed and the entire enemy force is taken over minus any hq units. Commence game with adjusted points values.
Obviously the second one could only be used with non-dick players and would be just for fun.
You're making my pants tight.
I'll be finished with my first semester of grad school just a few days before that. I am going to warhammer and dwarf fort so hard for the whole three months after that.
This happens for maybe the first month or so of going to a store here in Australia. Then you pretty much know everyone who goes there. Then you either just play people again, or try a different store.
Although some of the event nights have more folks to play.
Personally, I hope they bring back All Is Dust and two wounds for Thousand Sons. That would be lovely.

I dunno about rules but have you seen these guys?
Thats perfect too. Still meeting more people and actually wanting to play them.
Right now, I play Altmann.... that's pretty much it
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Oh well, I still can't wait to see what Emperor's Children get!!!!!!!!!!!!¿
That game with the Arjac shenanigans so would have swung my way without that bullshit
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
No, you can't play them you filthy Space Wolf goose. I am the Thousand Sons.
Where all the plastic Sons at?
Seems like they should at least make one plastic kit for each legions basic troops.
Wait...they're probably going to release brand new molds of every legion in finecast cuz it's so amazing! Thanks, GW!
