    Hmm. Those new plastic Kans are awesome.

    But I already have 2 painted Kans and 5 more unassembled kans...

    I only have one dread though...

    I'm really curious to see the rules for this little buggy. It's super tiny so it'll be easy to find cover for it as it zips around.

    Dayspring those are fucking beautiful!

    Also, I can change the title, I don't care. I thought it was funny because I think Engrish is funny. If you can suggest something better do it.

    Man, in this planetary empires campaign I've been saving my battle points up. I have 4 which i think is more than anyone else. I can use one battlepoint to buy back 250pts of my list or to grant ANY USR to ANY unit.

    Infiltrating, fleeting Bjorn anybody? 2pts.

    Tank Hunting Relentless Longfangs? 2pts

    Furious Charging Fleeting Skyclaws? 1pt

    List goes on...

    So I was on the phone with some one from my 40k club earlier tonight and was given the offer of a life time.

    3 Old School land speeders (The old old metal kinds, with the open tops?) for 15 bucks. I quickly told him yes and will be snagging them early next week.

    Once I strip, clean up, re-assemble, and fix these, I will have 5 speeders. One of the plastic ones I picked up today will be used in my Warhound build.

    Somehow I think the guy on the other end of the line is on a different forum posting something about getting the deal of a lifetime, someone actually PAID $15 for 3 of his OLD badly painted landspeeders! :P

    I need some landspeeders. I fielded one today in a practice game. It got destroyed by a Leman Russ Vanquisher on turn 1.

    Oh and Dayspring if you're interested, I judged/was the ringer for the 2nd round of 'Ard Boyz at my store. I used that 2k list but just added two standard Land Raiders (one as a transport for the termies, one as a heavy support) with no upgrades to get to 2.5k.

    If I hadn't been the judge/ringer, I would've qualified for finals :P

    They sell everything at 20% or more off GW RRP and are awesome guys. Not sure about shipping costs as I go in store to pick up my stuff but the more money they make the higher chance that they'll stay in business and I'll have somewhere nice to play without mouth breathers.

    I put them in. I felt that since Maelstrom has been taking shits on people's orders (according to the SA forums) we needed another UK store.


    I actually think I have a metal landspeeder in my storage unit. Come to think of it this is what's in my storage unit:

    Leman Russ
    Chimera
    Bjorn the Fell-handed
    Landspeeder.

    So I'm kind of new to the game and have a fluff question. Are there any Space Marine chapters that are more likely to be called upon to serve the inquisition than others? I am going to being building a WH army and am trying to determine a fluffy color to paint my Black Reach marines in case I add them to the army at some point.

    There are some acts so ruthless, some deeds so unpalatable, that only the Vlka Fenryka are capable of undertaking them. It's what we were bred for. It's the way we were designed. Without qualm or sentiment, without hesitation or whimsy. We take pride in being the only Astartes who will never, under any circumstances, refuse to strike on the Allfather's behalf, no matter what the target, no matter what the cause.

    Depending on the Inquisitor, you could be pulling from all over the place, calling in favors and whatnot. So you could even have several different chapters, but I would keep it to a chapter-a-squad, unless you're only doing one squad, in which case they would likely all be from different chapters.

    There was a lot of similar sentiment when wolves came out, albeit, the wolves don't have a dynamic USR that affects their units.

    I think you'll find that forgoing heavy special characters and loading up on furious charging (possibly) regular troops is going to be a tough nut to crack for any army.

    Is there anywhere online I could find the instructions to assemble a falcon? I got a partway assembled one through an ebay auction, and after seeing some of the other construction this guy tried, I don't have a whole lot of confidence that what I have was put together right, or that I have all the pieces. They glued in and painted over the clear plastic cover without putting the pilot in or anything, have greenstuff sticking out a bunch of places, and the bar that seems to go through and hold the main guns is close to snapping off on one side.

    And I think that there's an extra one of the sprues he included with the weapons and things, I seem to have 2 of all of the swappable weapons.

    OHHH its a WH army, ok then, Deathwatch wouldnt fit either cause their ordo xenos. You know what might make sense, is a chapter with a high number of librarians because of their ability to detect pyskers. Dare i even mention the blood ravens, or something of their ilk.
