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!

yep i agree with nax, i like metal but they get boring overlaping (see sturnguard) if im running more than 5 guys they look the same UNLESS i have different ones ala my tryanic war vets. My plastic assault termies on the otherhand look diff each one.
I ordered mine the day it was put online and my order is still being processed.
So basically we all hate gabe then...
Dispatched? I ordered mine around 8:00 PST on the 17th and it still shows "Order Being Processed". Now I'm worried. Hasn't been charged yet either.
When I look at the order details it specifically says "shipped" but I haven't been charged yet which worries me. Maybe I'll be lucky and get it without having to pay. I did get two entire Ravenwing battleforces for free from GW in the past...
I gather GW's going to be getting a whole bunch of calls in the morning.
Terminators are assembled, now to get started on the genestealers. Man, of all the times I had to completely run out of primer...
I am thinking I am going to start a new force for the purpose of this escalation alone... It will not be used for any other games until the escalation is done, and the force is completed (painted and everything).
I think I have narrowed it down to two armies/concepts. I'd like to hear thoughts....
Option A: "Big Mekz Rejekz" - Ork force with all units having some sort of random factor involved each turn. Weirdboyz, SAGs, Stormboyz, etc etc etc.
Option 2: Tau Recon Advance Force - Pathfinders, Piranha, Stealth Suits, etc.
I am going strictly for theme here... I don't care about competitiveness or any of that serious stuff. Just want to have a cohesive force that makes sense together and is really cool
I actually kinda of like the Tau idea. Keeping it slow and stealthy would be fairly unique.
nothing about those tau is slow
Thats the plan, anyways, if I go that route
Also: stealth suits are rad.
I meant slow and stealthy like a cat. A whole army revolving around the fluff of getting into position without being seen then pouncing. Basically that army is Batman. Ok I've been playing that game too much.
man what
pathfinders are required to take a fish and pirhana are all like WRRRRR VROOOOM
Also, there's too much Ork love around here already.
IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FUTURE, THERE IS ONLY MORAL AMBIGUITY
I believe the answer is self explainatory.

So, is it just slightly OCD that I not only drilled out the barrels on the Space Hulk storm bolters, but then did so on the assault cannon as well? And then went and drilled out the hurricane bolters on two LR Crusaders, as well as the barrels on the plastic TL assault cannons?
so's your face
Unfortunately for the Tau this means nothing
When I got this, I had to go check their blog, just to make sure they weren't going out of business. But no, its just a promotion. They carry every 40k SKU there, and the only limit is how much you can carry out of the store. Also, it doesn't expire until november, so I can save up!
I need new pants now, though, so mixed blessings.
(I can't share the discount, sorry).
It's a timer for mobile phones running android.
Other than that it's quite useless.

<edit> Duh haha. Previous post. But that's friggin' amazing. I'd kill for that price.
<doublt edit> That list is pretty light on anti-armor. And why mortars in line squads? Just get a mortar heavy weapons team. Nobody ever prioritizes them. You'll want your line squads moving. Give em grenade launchers or autocannons or something.
The line squads are actually not for moving. Their whole purpose is to sit and hold an objective in or very near my deployment zone, and make sure I don't get screwed by having my vet squads vaporized. I realize my anti-tank isn't great, but unless I'm going up against another heavy armour IG list, I should have enough AT to pretty much slow them down until the veterans clean up. Still, I could give the PCS two melta guns, or two flamers and give the line squads autocannons like I originally planned(though this doesn't quite fit with the fluff I have for the list).
I don't really like HWT's, overpriced and no warm bodies to soak up wounds. The mortars are there to give the line squads something to shoot at every turn, a wound soak(It takes 10 bolter wounds without cover to kill a line squad, 20 to kill one with a heavy weapon[in the same shooting phase]), and its fluffy(the infantry are meant to dig in near the basilisk, and set up a bit of a mobile artillery base).
Still the mail theft warning has me paranoid again
Ok then im going to vote for Big Mekz and here is why, your right about the tau but your breaking in NEWBIE'S. So crushing the everloving shit out of them on turn 4 or 5 is gonna be demoralizing. I know from personal experience that orks are hilarious to watch play even when your losing. If your getting crushed, but his shokk attackgun blew itself to pieces, or his warboss kills himself in his waaaaggg run you feel a little better. From a Newb perspective i say go with the big meks.
I've only ever played Nax - two times were against Orks. I've never seen anything but complete and utter defeat. "Demoralizing" is a pretty good term to describe it. Nothing bad has ever happened to them to make me feel even a little bit better.
I suggested Tau so I at least have something different to look at while I'm getting tabled.
