The following people are amazing and I love them: Wildcat, Timspork, Kias, Denada, susan, Sharp101, [GHSC]Ryctor, Matev, Matrias, ItBurns, Slapnuts, Dayspring, see317, and the unknown poster that sent me a box of Death Company! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!
Possessed are terrible, at least they have been in my experience. The only time my buddies seem to do any damage is when they rolled for Power Weapons. Better spent on some Chaos Marines with special weapons IMO.
yeah, did a little theoryhammering, I think I'm going to work a list from scratch (it will probably carry strong similarities to the predecessor though)

Awww, I hate seeing these kinds of comments but sadly they're true. For whatever reason when they were designing the codex for CSM, in a few spots they put in these roll for stats style units. Which can serve to make each game kind of interesting and fun. But most players hate it because it's hard to plan for and you can end up wasting all sorts of points if you roll bad. Add's cool variety I say, since I find it hilarious when my dreadnought turns around and fires on his own dudes, but possessed can be a real mixed bag, I certainly wouldn't take 10 of them.
Fuck you guys. Possessed can be very good if used correctly. Don't worry about what power you roll.
Certainly S5 hits against orks is solid gold, but from looking at the codex berzerkers seem like a better deal
Just depends on what you use them for. I've seen a full squad of possessed with MoT take on 3-4 enemy units at once and bog them all down because they don't care about shit that ignores armor saves and they can still throw out a decent number of high strength attacks. They also don't have to rely on the charge to do well. They just get better from there as long as you didn't roll 'scout' for your power, heh :P. Really they're an all purpose unit... not as killy as zerkers all the time, but more so than other options. Not as durable as plague marines, but more so than other options. They can be just as resistant to armor ignoring stuff as TS, but don't have ranged weapons. Still fearless, and you can still give them various marks.
So I bought a box of goblin wolf riders to gut for the wolves and a few other applicable bits.
I'm not sure what to do with the rest of the box. The guy at the store suggested mangled grots as bases... but the only bases that have the room are the terminator bases and there really is nothing impressive about a squad of terminators mangling grots.
Find an ork player and convince him he needs the bodies to custom build a sweet looted tank. Get him to trade you more marines.

I was running a unit of 7 with Ahriman in a Rhino. MoT as well. Rolled for FNP before the game. Those guys didn't lose a single model the whole game, and shielded Ahriman enough for him to tear the whole Ultramarines army a new one.
As stated, they are versatile, and you just have to readjust what you will do with them based off of the roll.
Are they still the Reason Behind Everything and New Chaos, or has all the Machine God/Fear of Death/Laughing God/creation of Orks, Eldar, Humans, etc stuff been swept under the rug?
The current description on the site seems to place them in more of "another external threat" role.
If everyone else is out catching Watchmen, I can do it again. Are there any changes that need to be made to op, something missing in the current one, broken links, or anything like that?
That's the title, I'm talking about if anything should be changed about the information in the first post.
Lemme check it over quick and I'll get back to you.
Edit: in the 'tell me about the rules' section, maybe have a little blurb in there outlining the basic turn sequence and that everything you do in the game is by rolling d6s, etc.

Anyone know of any appropriately scaled cat figures? I've decided my Farseer will have a pet Gyrinx

Who is making the new thread?
How are they not worse than a ton of chaos marines again?

This gets released tomorrow supposedly.
I will suggest a new title: Warhammer 40k - frankly my dear I don't give a WAAAAAAAAGH
That would be so awesome with a different face. He looks like he's running to get hugs from the mother wolf.
WINNAR!
When exactly is a new thread made?
Usually during Pg. 99 or Pg. 100
Also, I believe it was "Warhammer 40k: They made a tabletop game about Dawn of War?"

What the fuck is wrong with his claws? It's like he attached knives to a pair of powerfists.
Seriously, you could cut those off and use them as powerfists.
That's... that's what loyalist lightning claws look like?
Apparently the Imperium gets their lightening claws from wolverine...
Huh. I guess you're right. I'm too used to my chaos lighting claws. I haven't played marines in so long.
I still think this wolf model has them a bit big...
I seem to remember the force commander box claw being pretty thin.
