I wasn't even looking at the netlist 1 Blue + 9 Brims. I've got a box of Pinks so I was looking at grabbing a box of blues and doing a 5/5/5 mix. Even if the points go up a bit, that's still going to be a pretty competitive troops slot for me. Although maybe I should have another look at the Tzaangors...
OK, yeah. Tzaangors look decent as cheap troop slot fillers. I'd never really looked at either of these because the army was always a 30K Thousand Sons army, so no Daemons allowed and certainly no birdmen. With 30K sticking with 7th, I think I'll look at picking up other things to fill in gaps.

Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
I might take you up on that. Although then making things fit points is probably going to be tough. I think for our games I'll just stick to Rubrics, but I'll certainly have a play around with battlescribe tonight.

I saw some people going a little nuts buying horror boxes when their splitting trick was dominating the net lists. For that matter why are tzeentch daemons always randomly getting obscenely strong from one edition to the next? I think it was the first updated flamers back in 5th that started it with their awful wounding everything nonsense, then screamers doing a million slashing attacks, then heralds making invincible death stars, and then the horror spam in late 7th.

8th with brimstone spam.
But really it has to do with Tzeentch having 4++ saves. Which you can make rerollable. They are cheap. And can also smite spam this edition. Overall just a good set of skills.
Every time I read World Eaters, I hear the intro of Bolt Thrower's song of the same name. My brain can only process it as an angry, speed metal growl since the 90s.

I have never heard this song, or indeed the band Bolt Thrower.
And I still hear an angry speed metal growl howling in the back of my mind when I read the words "World Eaters".
I think it's working as intended.

Looking at their wikipedia page, the band has a history with Games Workshop. The second image on the page is a 1989 album cover that's literally just the cover art for Rogue Trader. World Eater (the song) is an intentional reference, given that it's on that album (along side other tracks like Eternal War, Through the Eye of Terror, Dark Millenium, and Plague Bearer).
I know nothing about them, I always just assumed they were associated with GW since they were obviously allowed to use the 40K IP with no repercussions.
Also just looking, anyone think that it is a Nurgle Eagles.
Just a thought.
Looks more like the Khorne skull rune to me, but I doubt that's where this is going. It has an industrial look, so Necromunda or Titanicus sound like reasonable guesses to me.
So can anyone turn on and watch warhammer tv on twitch? I am at work and can't. I guess they are showing off Chaos stuff and Black Legion today.
The advance+shoot rapid fireweapons thing is confirmed it seems.
Also I guess a stratagem is called chaos boon. 1 cp after a character kills a character, vehicle, or MC. You get bonuses from a table. I guess one is you become a sniper rifle causing an additional mortal wound on a roll of 6 to wound.
Has anyone ever tried converting boob plate, like the sisters, into not boob plate, with green stuff? I feel like I could probably get a mostly smooth ceramite surface, but I worry the texture would be off enough to paint oddly.

World Eaters are up. Some nasty things there.
Nice eagle/skull combination for the logo. Also looks like a Reiver faceplate.

Needless to say, they didn't quite fit in with the style.

That is a rad as fuck skull/eagle (skegle?) thingamajig there. Leading speculation is Necromunda video game.

Kinda interesting it could be two eagles but it also very much looks like an ork skull.
Honestly, I don't much like it as a logo. Too busy, and not stylized enough to mesh the two parts of the design. Looks like a bad sports team logo.
I would love more Steel Legion as the stuff I have just sits in the box
The numbers on the logo read backwards are 30/9/87 and teaser for next WD is supposedly about 30 years of 40k.
40k Blood Bowl in-lore game confirmed.

Black Legion Article up no Alpha Legion today

They get to use some more Space Marine flyers in addition to also getting Grandmaster Dreadknights.
Astral Aim seems really good.
If I can find or think of a decent conversion I'd add one to my Grey Knights but as it stands, meh.
Surface is going to be fine. If you want to do some more green stuff work you might want to get some paint shapers. They're heaven sent for that.
Sister might look good with armour more like this:
Maybe?
What the most badass (up to 20sec) clip of music you can think of for a flyer?
