    I'm still organizing my PAX shit guys, sry. With the insanity that is the 3 day passes selling out in like 4 hours, I'm the only person from my group who got any passes so it's a little hectic. I'll let you know.

    Selling out that fast was madness and makes me think scalpers must be involved. I have idiot friends from last year I had to convince NOT to buy extra tickets just to resell at a profit. I hate that kind of greedy self-interested drivel.

    So anyway I was only able to snatch up a Sunday ticket for the wife and I. Assuming, like last year, everything but the exhibition floor will be open to the public we will roll up Saturday to walk about the open areas. Sunday will be all exhibition hall.

    Both of us just started this 40k thing but have never played. I'll be back home in a month and we'll start learning. Why do you care? You don't! Except we'll want to enter a PAX tournament just because that sounds awesome. Our armies won't be that big, and we probably still wont have much of a clue as to what we are doing, but that is half the fun...right?

    I just had a random brainfart and realized that Dark Eldar titans (the Warhound-sized ones, anyway) would look interesting if they were some sort of War of the Worlds-style terror/harvester vehicles.

    I'm guessing you didn't read the news post from yesterday then?

    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! <3 If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!

    As ordinary as the movie was, the parts with tripods were fucking awesome. Pity Spielberg had to turn the best alien invasion story into a 2 hour lesson on parenting.

    No I had not. But now I have. I thought it took awhile to sell out last year, I'm surprised the demand is so high.

    And this is why all Triarch Stalkers must have Heat Rays, as Wells intended. 8->

    ...because dragons are AWESOME! That's why.

    Not even vehicles. Dark Eldar titans would be lobotimized Tyranid bio-titans.

    I was looking through the Dark Angel's codex today, and I saw that the Supreme Grand Master gives 4++ to the squad he joins. You could make some sweet Deathstar units for DAs if only the Vets could take Apothacaries and Chapter Banners, or the command squads could have more than two power weapons.

    Did anyone read the BoK rumour about 6th? Because it's, erm, interesting.
    OMG finally finally my poor little site is fixed thanks for the patience everyone! So anyway it looks like I started some rumor spilling last week as everyone in the rumor mill decided to jump in the game. I hope what I am about to post is not already outdated, but with life and the server repair I haven’t have time to keep up.

    Ok, let us get ready for some fun guys 6th is about two months away so let us set up some ground rules first off.

    That leaked 6th edition pdf was and is still a complete fabrication.

    40k 6th edition is going to be much closer to Fantasy 8th and 40k 2nd edition than anything else.

    GW still has rumor lock down in place, so these leaks are for the most part things that have been seen before from previous editions of Games Workshop games. This is to protect sources from the long arm of GW.

    Ok, with that said lets get to it.

    Let us start with 6th edition fluff progression.

    The Imperium is fracturing and the Space Marines are starting to separate themselves from the Lords of Terra. The heretical and xenophobia has gotten to a tipping point causing many chapters to take actions against the “best wishes” of many in the Imperium.

    A discovery of galactic importance has happened.

    At a time before right before the Horus Heresy the Emperor had intrusted Roboute Guilliman in the protection of one Xenos race that was completely immune the temptations of Chaos and would prove the ultimate key to the destruction of Chaos. The Horus Heresy ended such plans. Fast forward today with discovery of these lost correspondences, it is believed by the Ultramarines and others that the Tau are that lost race. So now instead of being charge with their destruction the Astartes are the Tau protectors.

    Rules changes
    •Every unit gets a 6+ save vs. all Psychic Powers.
    •Random Charge Lengths are in
    •Pre-measuring is in.
    •Random Battle field effects are in.
    •All armies can purchase buildings for placement on the battlefield.
    •Psychic powers are selected during deployment. (except Grey Knights)
    •Deployment and Missions types have doubled.


    Get ready for the Big one..


    ALLIES ARE BACK IN

    That is right allies are back in and this will be according to fluff and will have certain restrictions. So for instance Tyranids will not have any allies. Tau with all Space Marine Chapters. Necrons with Blood Angels. Imperial Guard with Space Marines. Chaos Space Marines with Demons. If it fits the fluff it will be done.

    This is just to get you guys started.

    Expect more to come out as we get closer to the impeding release of Warhammer 40k 6th edition.

    Oh again forgot to mention in the CSM rumor post to add that Oblit options will be even more expansive with close combat load out available.

  • MatriasMatrias Registered User regular
    not digging those thematic changes.

  • OtakuD00DOtakuD00D tankstankstanks San DiegoRegistered User regular
    Fuuuuuuuckin' awesome.

    And more fuel to the FUCKIN' TAU MARY SUES argument.

    I like the idea of selecting Psychic powers at deployment. Though everyone who ever hated the Rune Priest is going to hate him more.

  • ElderCatElderCat Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Uh, that list is total Bullshit. There are like two things that are plausible: the space marines doing their own thing, which has been mentioned before, and there being 6 missions and 6 deployments. Every single other item is pants-on-head dumb.

    It's not like GW have a habit of doing pants on head dumb things likely, right?

    That rumor list makes me kind of sad, actually.

    Except for expandind Oblit weapons, we needed more for them (they're kinda underpowered, as it is).

    If BA and Necrons are actually restricted allies options, I will probably stop playing 40k.

    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! <3 If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!
  • MatriasMatrias Registered User regular
    The Space Wolves-Orks-Drinking-Binge Alliance is going to be even more awkward.

  • Dr_KeenbeanDr_Keenbean Registered User regular
    Pretty much all of that sounds awful. Let's keep fantasy and 40k as separate games please.

    Though the fluff garbage could lend some credibility to my '2nd Heresy' theories.

    Why would you ever ally with orks when you can just build an army of Thunderwolves and Railguns....

    SJ's moods: Angry, Angrier, Angriest, and WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.

    Ruleswise, we'll see how it ends up once we get more info coming in. For all we know, it probably just means that 6th Ed will have a dedicated Psyker phase and schools of Psykery?

    Fluffwise, shit's getting hilarious and I'm all for it.

    I don't have a single insight into the actual design studio, but not a single word of those rumors ring true. I'd be willing to put money on it, were there a pool or something.
    *edit*
    Actually, there is one thing: the 'leaked' rules are total bullshit. That's true.

    The allies section being present again sounds true, HOWEVER the specifics of it and everything else sounds like crap.

    Also, Traitor Guard for chaos? How exactly would they be significantly different from regular guard?

  • OtakuD00DOtakuD00D tankstankstanks San DiegoRegistered User regular
    Spikes. Daemons. More psykers. Teaming up with CHAOS MARINES rather than Space Marines.

    Buyable buildings? Does this mean there's a chance my Guardsmen can bring their own sandbags?

    ...cause my boys don't show up if it's not a BYOS party.

    Magnetising my Daemon Prince is a pain in the butt, it's my first time

    Just using a 4mm drillbit by hand likely has much to do with it, but it's still a pain

    How should I fill the gaps?
    I was thinking getting some glad wrap with some Vaseline very thinly coated on it. Clip the parts together with the plastic wrap between them and then sculpt, let the GS dry then I should just be able to remove the part and the gladwrap and live happily

    I'm more worried about sculpting a removable joint, liquid putty probably wouldn't work too well

    You just have to do one side at a time and let it cure/dry

  • The Black HunterThe Black Hunter Registered User regular
    I have to sculpt them together though to make the connection look natural, I don't want the green stuff sticking to the wrong side
