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!

A kid walks into a BookStore and asks "Do you have the latest White Dwarf Magazine?"
The Clerk replies "What is White Dwarf?"
The kid answers "It's a Game Magazine"
The Clerk comments "We DO NOT sell GAY Magazines!!"
The kid then tries to explain "It's not a GAY Magazine, it's a GAME Magazine!"
The Clerk looks puzzled....
The kid then tries to explain further "It's a Magazine with pictures of Boys playing with Model Men."
The Clerk yells "GET OUT OF HERE YOU LITTLE PERVERT!!"
Morale of the story, pick your words carefully. The public is listening...
I Spent 90% of my Money on Women and Warhammer. The Rest I Wasted.
I look forward to the day when a Chrysalid lays eggs in my belly and I wipe out an entire section.
Shit has happened to me like that since apparently I have a borderline lisp. And also like to dress fancy/flamboyant every so often, which leads people to thinking I like to partake of man love.
Is there a such thing as a "twin linked bolter"? Reason I ask is that yesterday i played a chaos guy with 2 twin linked bolters on his rhinos which in theory would allow him to double tap for a total of 4 shots within 12" and re roll failed hits.
As opposed to a storm bolter which would just be 4 shots.
Cheese or allowed?
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Haha, Ill have to charge a "this model makes me laugh so hard I cant paint" surcharge of $4000 on top of the painting fees
Come talk about boardgames with us
Chaos don't have storm bolters, they have twin linked ones in their place.
Less shots at range then an SB, but yeah, they can re-roll their to-hit.
Space Marine bikes have twin linked bolters, so you have them too.
Ahh, ok. It seemed odd i guess but I don't know the Chaos codex.
Also, I tried to find the profile for a thunder hammer but I can't find stats in the rule book or my codex, i just see special rules for if it hits. It reduces a model to initiative 1 and results in a crew shaken result, but what are the stats for it if any?
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
If he had 2 twinlinked bolters, he would get a total of 2 shots that are twinlinked. Not 4. 1 Twinlinked shot per twinlinked bolter - and each rhino should have 1 twinlinked bolter(that happens to look like 2 bolters.) Confusing, I know.
I have the sad duty to report that trooper SJ of the XCom base was killed in the line of duty. It should be reassuring to know that he took about six plasma shots to the face and point blank range before going down as he breached an alien space ship. However his sacrifice allowed Sgt Alqadim to reach over and rip the alien's throat out with his bare hands.
He is morned by us all.
You can also take a second TL Bolter, which is where the extra two shots came from.
He said in 12", which is rapid fire range, which is 4 total shots re-rolling missed hits
e: assuming 2 TL bolters
Edit: Ninja'd but good.
Bolter envy
The last time I was in someone's X-Com play through (SynthOrange's) I ended up helping to man one of the research bases. This meant I didn't see any action and survived for the whole campaign. I demand to die gloriously against the xenos scum!
Oh you are in the front lines I can tell you that.
I don't think I ever played the first X-com. I was a terror from the deep kind of guy.
After that, I need armored transports. RHINO TIME!
Barring buying an airbrush, what's the best way to paint these without lines?
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Well, you shot some things. Mainly walls with your laser pistol.
It's 'cuz I play Orks. That's what we do.
e: you're gonna be remaking me with someone, right?
Yeah, at some point once I run through everyone.
I was doing really good just now until I had the smart idea to breach the wall of a ufo with high explosives. PVT. Mystery.Shadow misjudged the amount needed and killed himself, SGT. Captain Scurvy, and half of Bravo squad. I'm reloading that because it was BS. The resultant firefight between the two surviving squad members of Bravo and the fifty sectoids inside was pretty epic. Shots flying every which way though that breach.
Woot, take that walls
I wouldn't waste S6 I5 opportunities on a fist, though. Frost Blade!
Powerfist
Storm Shield
Thunderwolf
You drop to I 1 and lose an attack, but you don't need to take a belt, and get an improved invuln and 2/3 points of strength out of the deal. The new core is only 200 pts, at a saving of 30 pts. 15% cheaper, and still a beast, and even better at some things.
Note on the thunderwolf thing. Thunderwolf cavalry are true T5, unlike plague marines, which are 4(5), which I think supports S10. Of course the incorrect usage of the parenthetical stat changes is one of my biggest beefs with GW, so who the hell knows what they mean.
Note on the wolftooth necklace: They had to FAQ Kharn to prevent the easy hitting of vehicles with just this sort of effect, but they have no memory.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Also, it means you're punching with the force of a lascannon.
Edit: Counterspin, I'm still reluctant about it, because I think for the points you're better off getting a lord with a frost axe, and have him ride the chap or two of Thunderwolf Cav. Give one of the riders a storm shield and thunderhammer. You still have a stupid number of attacks (5 on the charge), and they're coming in at S10.

All the xcom games are on steam for $15 as well. Just started another landing and everyone got off the ramp fine, then a shot from fucking no where just missing about six guys in front and blows Ein's head off. I reloaded because that shit just does not fly.
Also someone needs to make a 40k mod for this.
