    A friend of mine got Canis because he seems to like collecting / building over playing. That being said, he does occasionally play and said that the instructions instructed that he could build it as one of a couple different Knights.

    Which one would be the best for it?

    An animated series!?
    Oh...
    cg animated.
    *shrug* early teaser trailer, but it looks pretty indistiguishable from the masses of fanmade stuff, and less interesting than the better fanmade stuff.

    That sounds more like a people problem than anything wrong with your kill team. Multiplayer games are also never gonna be balanced in any way, someone always gets dogpiled.

    That was definitely an issue with the players and not how Killteam should've gone. That's primarily what I've been playing these days, and my feeling is that you really can't have more than two players on a single board, and lots of multilevel and LoS blocking terrain is a must.

    Also, players really need to not be dicks and make the game unfun with their antics.

    I've been saying this about 40k since 1998

    I mean, I've been saying that about all game since forever. :biggrin: It's as applicable to X-wing as it is to MTG as it is to L5R as it is to WH.*

    The players weren't intentionally being dicks in that game. That's the impression I got anyway. I think it's tough to set up a completely balanced battlefield with asymmetric terrain features. Sure we could have all done better, and I wasn't trying to make a fuss about it being my first game in the store. Likewise I can understand that Guard player's objection: he fucked up in his deployment and had my charge gone off successfully the next turn he would have had to face down a balanced team of 3 melee and 3 ranged marines behind cover with all of his dudes stuck in melee. Of course with my rolls that game he may have still had a chance. Regardless it's human nature to want to be competitive and look for options. Like I said he admitted his fault later on, and maybe afterwards he learned a valuable lesson about why always trying to weasel your way in a game doesn't make you many friends over the long war.

    It’s being made by the people who made the Helsreach fan film, so this makes sense.

    One the folks in my game group said it was the Helsreach folks who are making this. Which makes sens with the design and how it looks.

    Part of me in not sold on CSM because about 20 years ago when I did try to play them it was horrible
    I lost a whole squad of Khorne Terminators to lasgun fire rolling snake eyes. Another game I lost because my CSM missed every shot and failed in melee in short It was a bunch of games with poor rolling that made me lose interest in them
    I put them up and have not looked at them since other than when I took a few pics of them. I kind of want to play them again but I just don't know

    THe Horus Heresy stuff does make me want to build a small army from that era

    Chaos marines are due a model update; the current ones are what? 3rd or 4th edition? 10+ years old? They really don't line up well with the new Plague and Rubric marines. Hopefully Khorne beserkers get some love as well.

    That said, I could understand if people were getting a bit apathetic about 40k releases, if they weren't all that interested in Marines or Chaos (or Knights).

    3.5/4th edition. They are some old models. Abbadon is from the 90's.

    I goofed. Decided on the tesseract and canis wolfborn for christmas. Brother went and grabbed the stuff and then I remembered I have a pewter canis. Can only get store credit for a return. Trying to decide if that is worth it or just keep canis 2.

    Its a joke but there are now 8 sculpts for primaris lieutenants now.

    Really though you will get ~$50 bucks for it right? That is a lot of options.

    There isn't a lot I need in that price range for my Necrons or Space Wolves. Mostly I'm looking at the more pricey stuff now unfortunately.

    I used to think Space Marines looked so cool, but now that Primaris were introduced, they look so squat and misshapen to me. It's amazing how seeing something better can completely change your mind. Makes me wish I could do an entire army in Primaris, including devastators and everything.

    I'm currently preparing a whole CSM army with primaris proportions, so...
    Though that idea was just put on hold, I'm waiting to see what GW whips up in those 80 days.

    I won't lie if we get new CSM models I might try and dump a bunch of my old squat marines for them and finally paint a CSM army a standard color. The fact my army's base color isn't even produced by GW anymore drives me nuts.

    Can run them as chosen if they aren't changed in rules.

    But I feel there might be some new units/rules coming down with the release. Also the eternally rumored EC codex. Most power armor I use now are noise marines and havocs.

    Also they would work for havocs as well.

    I played a game last week where we explicitly chose to not bring top tier armies. My Necron showed up with a ton of Warriors and his Ultramarines did not have Guilliman.

    So I’m looking at the Sisters beta codex and arco-flagellants are back, baby. For the low, low price of 2CP and having a missionary nearby (not even that near if you give them the book of +3" aura range) you get nine attacks at S5 AP-1 per 15pt model. Oh and they each die on a roll of a 1 afterwards but who’s counting that?

    For some reason I have two copies of Dark Vengeance one has the chaplain the other than chaos hero
    I got one I remember I pre ordered it a few weeks before I really had enough of two people and quit playing and 40k for a few years I picked it up a week after I quit so it just sat still wrapped until last year
    I forgot how I got the second copy
