Well, back from High Lords. In short, I got pantsed :P.
I won 1, drew 1, lost three, but all of them were really close and all my opponents were fantastic. With a bit more luck and a bit less dumb (I made a few bad decisions) in the ones I lost, I could have won. In the one I drew, well, it just ended on the wrong turn.
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! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!

The whole rules section is just half a page of Norris's stats and special abilities. The whole rest of the book is just Chuck Norris facts.
The whole rules section is only one rule in the book. And that is: If you field Chuck Norris, you automatically win the game. Your opponents army is completely destroyed and your opponent gets a roundhouse kick to the head.

If the thread decided that, I wasn't here to agree. Don't get me wrong, Yarrick is a nasty mother fucker, but Norris would not have let the orks get away, and he certainly wouldn't have passed out afterward

Fuckin' blasphemer!
Dude's practically a saint.
Also,
Does anyone have a spare "door" for the old Leman Russ kit? I ripped the HB sponsons of my LRBT and I realized that I:
a) Didn't glue on the little doors underneath them and
b) Only have one of said doors.
Is my only solution to make one out of green stuff?

Yarrick let them go so they could breed and return to allow himself some fun
Yarrick doesn't have fun. He lives to preserve the sanctity of the Imperium of Mankind. He does not suffer the alien or heretic to live.

I was thinking of ways you could do a new Dark Angel dex, and was thinking of ways their troops could be viable in assault without...
- giving them the ability to withdraw and get out of the way (combat tactics, c:sm)
- troops having a billion attacks (space wolves)
- troops having furious charge (blood angels)
- troops having preferred enemy (Templar)
The only thing left for the dark Angel tactical marines viable is relentless! Which is just perfect, because it's fluffy, makes them great shooters and means they're not boned from lack of attacks when they need to assault something because they can rapid-fire it first.

IT's free and it's from valve and there are already 40k skins for it so it's basically space hulk.
steam ID is: altmann (go figure!)
As soon as I get steam to stop crashing on startup, I'm there. Also, once I finish moving?
Alien Swarm not available for mac. Yet another title that I can't play, despite valve's big press release to go along with steam for mac saying they'll be publishing a bunch of good games for osx, only one of which has materialized.
(the wolf guy ran a all Terminator army with Grimnar.)
I'm trying to get my final game in with the other BA player, and he'll be the real challenge. He's actually KublaKhan from around these parts (He's just been lurking for a while)
Because blood angels Tacticals are almost useless, and that's not right for any marines chapter. I was thinking if there was a future DA codex, they could have the same problem.
I suppose they could be given combat tactics, but lets leave something for the main Marine book, okay?

One game, being portal, tf2, half 2 (with episodes 1 and 2), counter-strike source, and day of defeat source. Those are just the titles valve has personally released for mac.

Meh. They're not USELESS... I mean, if you're going to run Tycho they make thematic sense. Although, I'd only ever put Tycho with Sternguard, so maybe thats out.
Personally, I think its quite fine. Yeah, Tacticals are the bread and butter of a codex marine army, but thats how every other Marine army is setup (save BT). I think it just adds another element that sets us apart.
I ran at least two squads of Tacticals under the PDF, but I honestly can't remember taking them under the new Codex once I was making serious lists, and I'm quite okay with that.

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.

BA players maybe okay with that, but I was pointing out a similar danger for DA players happening, who in a new codex would probably need Tactical marines as a cheaper troop choice to back up their expensive Raven\Deathwing choices.
Anyways, I was just putting Relentless down as away of making their tacticals goods without out taking combat tactics uniqueness from the codex book. Not having any special rule at all would be just horrible.
This is all moot because there is going to probably be no new DA codex anytime soon.
(though there they have a better chance then Templars! Nya! )
i had this crazy idea that the local guys (me, nax, scurvy, spherick) could like.. get together and do a mad-dash painting/basing day to literally just complete an entire army for each guy so we could all have fully painted armies. I know nax needs help, so his could get done in a day since they're all assembled, and i know spherick's nurgle dudes can be painted assembly line no problem, we could get an entire army done in a day easily.

That sounds fucking rad Altmann. We could also have some BBQ shenanigans again if y'all want. What day is good for you on the weekends?
Well, at least get the shit I have built and painted.
I'm at the point where I really don't need to buy anything further.
That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.
You play guard right well your not done until you have enough guardsman to fill out an army group titans a 1000 page book of background story and each individual guardman named

i fully support this idea, as most of my guys actually only need to be based. We could finish up a whole damn army in a day. If you talk to jacob im pretty sure he'd let us use the shop like he did for paint craigs grey army day.

You may have been sarcastic, but I know someone who has named each and every one of his Sisters of Battle. Every single one has their name painted on their base.
Creepy....

Yeah. It would mainly be an issue of when Nax could get a saturday/sunday off that we also all have off. Then we'd have to decide where to go. Certainly the shop would work, though that would be less beer-full and bbq-ish.
I will have to come up with a weekend in advance (maybe in Sep?) I'm out of town this weekend, but if we can do it far enough in advance, we can prep and get what's needed. Honestly, I vote we do nax's first since he's been playing with a grey tide for too long and now that he has a valid codex, grey mans is just a shame... That is, if he feels like he wants us to paint that shiz...
One day i'll do an ork army and name each ork, and each ork will have their own personalised back banner signifying which house they belong to in an old school fashion.
The thing about me, is that I actually need to solidify a list I love enough to devote time to making it 100% WYSIWYG, so I can have the models to be painted :P
I'm totally down for hanging out and doing whatever I can to help (or hinder? :P) such an endeavor though.
Sunday's is best/easiest for me

Scurvy, don't worry about sending Flight Of The Eisenstein to me. I finished Galaxy In Flames this weekend and went out and bought it.
Not a big fan of the ending of GiF. Overall, False Gods is my favorite so far.

Except on Tuesdays, when he takes the Fortress of Arrogance to the local strip club.

I thought we already established Matrias is Jervis Johnson's secret love child.
For reference, here is the list I was using. I'm really happy with how the list has been doing.
I've only played 3 of the 4 active guys in the group, a Blood angel player, a Marine Player, and a Space Wolf Player.
(the wolf guy ran a all Terminator army with Grimnar.)
I'm trying to get my final game in with the other BA player, and he'll be the real challenge. He's actually KublaKhan from around these parts (He's just been lurking for a while)
