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!

Re: cover - that's one I don't like about the change in area terrain. In 4th, most area terrain such as ruins or forests blocked LOS that passed straight through it. Now, generally speaking, you can still shoot straight through it, and getting a cover save doesn't always seem like enough compensation. Getting tyranids across the board is much harder these days now that there is so much stuff that doesn't obscure LOS.

"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Tyrannofex going to ground, still shoots across the board...
Man I have to try this sometime.
Isn't it something specifically saying the spider can't go to ground?
I thought popular theory said that it was due to perhaps a change with 6th edition, since the rulebook still says they can't as well. Two rights don't make a wrong.
No, it says it can't do something if it has gone to ground. But it can't go to ground. Unless in 6th edition it can.
Basically Fantasy's magic phase. I don't see it happening, personally. Though I'm not sure if I'm fer it or agin' it.
There is sorta precedent for it. The Ork Weirdboy has a random psychic power.
I'm really, really, really for it. Currently just playing as a Tyranid player you have to manage all sorts of psychic powers that have to go off at certain specific times. Then you have to manage going through your opponents powers ... GK have something like a 1.5 billion psychic powers per phase if my math is correct. Separate the psychic shooting attacks totally from shooting rules and the shooting phase.
Just make it all in one phase. Random powers would make people rage out pretty hardcore, lol.
If they really want to bring in a random factor they could do a sort of 'winds of magic' roll before each movement phase to see which powers your psykers will have available, rather than giving each psyker a random powers table or whatever.
I have an issue where I lose interest about halfway through even 1000-2000pt games. I don't know what it is, but I stop caring. Adding more time wouldn't help that.
Go on about your business folks, this is all just some fantasy nerd jerking off onto the keyboard and posting it.
The new signature spell from the lore of the Sanctioned Psyker is, "Your head explodes"
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
I hope this too. I also hope they are not demon/mutation-heavy as I would like to maybe play my Blood Ravens as them.
I want them to take a leaf out of their own notes and borrow from the old Epic: Space Marine/Titan Legions Tyranid organisation where certain creatures were independent, dependent, or master types and to get a dependant you had to have a master type, and you could only have so many of each, a bit like Guard platoons but a little more flexible.
E.G. You'd have a Tyranid Warrior unit as a "master" troop unit that could allow you to take 'gaunts or 'gants that don't take up FOC slots, but genestealers are independent and take up a slot whatever happens.
Needs a bit of working put, but you get the general idea….

How does that store explain to people what 'meeplemart' means? Do they get that question a lot?
That being said, I have had to explain it to a few people. Most just don't ask
Dammit, that all looks awesome.
i may have some parts to scrounge for that though.
