I have played Craftworlds since 2nd
Basically I have a Craftworld army a Drukhari force {mostly wyches and kabal troops} A swarm of tyranids [I just have to fill in the bigger ones] a necron force that I do need to get the larger items as I have tons of warriors
My black templar army and my abandoned Word Bearer army that I really need to take account of and find out what I have
I'm on 2 wins and 1 loss so far in my tournament. Had a good win over daemons, got absolutely dumpstered by air cav militarum tempestus (I got 1 turn) and then got a big win over deathwing by virtue of sitting on more objectives for more turns.
Marines are pretty good even if you don't know what you're doing

A friend of mine plays scions. We call what happened to you scion shock. It is mostly because folks don't realize how much damage they can do in a single turn. Once you know whats coming it is a lot easier to screen out and absorb.
So debating about what to put in my cart for a chance at the freebee
I could do three boxes of Wracks. a Talos and the haemonculi or a dizzy amount of items
The problem is other than the necron codex and paint {I plan on going deep for sprays this summer 3 black 1 mech grey and 1 chainmail as well as the various pots} There is nothing really grabbing me as it would be worth a try

Man, I just can't decide how to equip some of my Hybrid units. Right now I have a 10 model squad with 4 Rock Saws. Nice and simple.
I've got a bunch of basic Hybrids thanks to a few sets from Deathwatch Overkill, so I've got a couple of boxes coming in to make quad leaders and rock weapons.
One is going to be hand flamers and demolition charges to give me a squad that can use Lying in Wait instead of A Perfect Ambush to wreck something when it comes in, but the other squad I'm still not sure about.
I was going to go with 4 Rock Drills to give me a real anti armour punch, but with my main opponent playing Wych Cult Drukhari it just seems like a really bad idea to kill a Raider in close combat when you've got a chance to take Explosion damage and then eat a Wych charge.
edit - question about Demolition Chagres. They say the model can only use them once per battle. If the model dies, and it brought back by Cult Reinforcements (replace D6 models lost earlier in the battle), does it get another Demolition Charge, or is it still counted as having used it?
Finished on 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw. Well, approximately those results in this new fangled system where there is no winning, only points. Day two I got stepped on by Chaos Knights in game four, then had the best game of 40k I've had in years against Crimson Fists for round 5. Was super tight the whole time. Ended up 55-53 in his favour cos I have up my shooting the last round to let him get 5 extra points. Took Cut off the Head for lulz reasons and actually sniped his captain with my captain, only for him to get back up on a 4+ Because of his warlord trait. Then I sniped him again, but he was worth less points by that time. I also had my Eradicators punch a Redemptor dread to death after they took 9 wounds off it overwatching. Then it exploded. Fantastic game all around.
Finished 13/36 overall, which I'm very happy about considering how hard I got smashed in 2 games, though the two guys who beat me came first and 2nd, so I can't have too many regrets.
Probably did well on soft scores because I picked up best painted.
Nice weekend all in all.
Am I dumb or are the kill zones going up for pre order aren't in fact new and just kill zones from the last two years that they stopped making?
As far as I know the kill zones were a one and done printing much to everyone's annoyance
As on the 27th it's just pariah. So I wonder if I can get a copy in the face of people panic buying it for the primaris

The pre order post says sectors Munitorum, Fronteris, and Mechanicus go up for pre order next weekend as well. I'm glad for it, I wanted to get fronteris, I just find it weird they are calling them new.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ~ Mario Novak
I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
Ok I see that it is kind of odd
I should get the necron codex the Chronomancer has more options on the sprue than I would think
the Chronomancer can be equipped with a choice of aeonstave or entropic lance and has three head options, alongside one of two chronometrons (one open, one closed) in its left hand.
I do want to get Mechanicus one but in time I do want to get the terrain that comes in Pariah to do games in a necron tomb {I am curious if you can run the scenarios in the book with different armies or set ups

Geez Wyches are getting super killy. With their 4++/6+++, I’m not looking forward to running my Purestrains into a squad of them.

Bring flamers and kill them on overwatch.
Which is fine against one squad. I’m usually being set up to eat 3-4 Wych charges in the same turn.
However, my Demo charge squad will absolutely have hand flamers. No point destroying a Raider up close if you can’t deal with the inevitable charge in return.
My buddy and I had planned on splitting the killteam box, as he wants the HQ and I want the heavy intercessors... buuuuuut, after seeing the price tag... meh?
He doesn't care about the flayed ones, I don't really care to have ANOTHER captain, and neither of us needs the board/terrain, so probably a pass. Hopefully the heavy intercessors come out on their own sooner rather than later like the rest of the indomitus stuff has.
I think I may have cried a little when he broke out the JB Weld and Gorilla Glue.
Why would you drop 2 grand on a mini and use Gorilla Glue?

Mr_Rose83 Blue Ridge Protects the HolyRegistered Userregular
Yeah, he just popped up on my feed recently and … he seems to be the kind of person that compulsively never reads instructions and has no concept of a test piece. Like there’s another video on that channel where he tries out “Mirror” (super-shiny chrome paint) and glops it onto a matte surface, fails to let it cure properly, then says he can’t see a difference between it and the Vallejo silver metallic he used for comparison. Or from the hand video, there’s the whole thumb thing.
That was clearly the first time he ever used a two-part glue. Even so, you have to be a special kind of idiot to try to mix it on the thing you're gluing.
Also, why wouldn't he just use super glue on the big armor pieces? They look like they have enormous surface area.
Superglue and pinning for heavy stuff. It's not rocket science.

Played a 1k Deathguard with the roomie vs Deathguard.
Plain old bolter Plague Marines with a sigil (6s to hit auto wound) are excellent and cost effective.
Tallyman and Foul Blightspawn with their personal relics are must-take.
What kind of marine squad did you run? Full bolters?
The match I ran was power level in a crusade campaign so I tricked a few out, but it didn't really seem like a huge impact.
A bolter squad with a sigil and powerfist Sarge is cost-efficient and useful. Blightlaunchers are a good addition too, even if you can only fit one in the unit if it's under 10 men. The Tallyman with the Tollkeeper relic is what really makes them shine. That goes double for a fat squad of Blightlord termies, so you can give them +1 to hit and 6s explode with all the combibolter and Reaper aurocannon shots. I used the Inexorable Plague Compaby and used Flash Outbreak strat to lower enemy Toughness and give me some extra AP. A lord of Virulence would bring that ap up further. Deathguard live and die on stacking buffs.
I can't comment on Crusade, because you're looking at a 30-40 pt differential based on the squad equipment, as opposed to Power Level.
I built the Necromunda gang hideout terrain kit last night, it's pretty neat. Now I really want to get another one and build it mirrored to the first so I have a giant compound for 40K games.

What are you fighting against?
My buddy and I started the Beyond the Veil campaign with my DG vs his Necrons.
We're only at 50PL, but he's told me what he plans to work up to for 150 and it's pretty well rounded, no silver tide lists or anything silly, though at 150 he plans on bringing the Silent King and I'll probably pick Morty up. I think warrior blobs and scarabs might be my biggest concern still though.
I plan on bringing a tallyman for the CP benefits, so I may throw the tollkeeper on him and just rely on mass bolter fire plus the virulent rounds strat PLUS PLUS fleshmower bloat drones for spreading contagion with the Flash Outbreak like you said. Running Mortarion's Anvil, so the flash outbreak will shut down overwatch and then the Drone can't be rerolled against. Have all my infantry grind up behind bloat drones and PBC's.
My main HQ so far is a Lord of Contagion with the Mortarions anvil relic and "ignore -1/-2 AP" warlord trait, and he's an absolute dump truck. The path to glory requisition has given him a couple of chaos boon upgrades so he's swinging his scythe around, rerolling all hits and wounds, with an 8" move and he's -1 to hit. Luckily no duplicates on the boons chart so he didn't turn into a Chaos spawn. I need to give him a virulent weapon, but it'll bump me over my PL cap at the moment.
If his abilities haven't changed he's going to hit like an absolute truck. 10 attacks on the charge with +1 to wound? Hell yes.

My friends one bright moment against my Tyranids was Drazar nearly solo killing my Haruspex, and he didn’t even get the charge. We called it then but I have no doubt he’d have finished it off the next turn.
Really underestimated the number of minor puncture wounds I'd get assembling this Word Bearers list

I was having a browse through Troll Traders Genestealer stuff for anything interesting.
2 Hybrids with Rock Saws for 8 pounds.
Sure, I’ll take 2 of the most sought after heavy weapons which you only get one of in a box, attached to bodies, for less than I’d find just 1 of the actual weapons themselves anywhere else.
I am tempted to get the Beyond the Veil campaign book and the rumored next one as all I know other than being campaign books I have heard they have the missing rules for certain minis
As I hear it often to my brother's complaints about the primaris took the fun out of space wolves [no custom layouts for iron priests, rune priests how wolf priests are two different models in the primaris} How it's far easier to just roll with home brew chapters than the ones of old
As the Necron Codex is far higher on my list {I would put it in the cart but it's constantly out of stock on GW's site so I feel when I do the run to the store I will but it then as well}
I know my Word Bearers need some work as I last played them pre millennium and I just added to them with the Csm that came in other boxes

yeah sometimes the prices they list are ridiculous, i dont know if it's a mistake on their part but its worth keeping an eye out for bargains
In WoW there was a talk about talking as many minis that even barrage weapons could not kill them all
One of them was 3 Warrior Primes 300 Termagants @10X30 and 30 to 39 Gargoyles. I know I only have 1 prime and 144 Termagants 30 gargoyles but that would be a silly army to play with
I know long ago I bought that instant swarm which is why I have so many termagants but doing that again when they only come 12 to a box that's 13 more boxes to get and a year plus of painting termagants
Someone else said doing an all grot army would be gross as it's over 350 models I think he said he had 3 meks leading it

One chaos
One oddball (Ad Mech)
One marine army
Then you have everything!
Edit:
I use to have orks but I didn't like how they played in 8th and sold them.
Basically I have a Craftworld army a Drukhari force {mostly wyches and kabal troops} A swarm of tyranids [I just have to fill in the bigger ones] a necron force that I do need to get the larger items as I have tons of warriors
My black templar army and my abandoned Word Bearer army that I really need to take account of and find out what I have
I did it for shits and giggles.
If I win lots of new chaos toys, some ad mech, and maybe some incursors/infiltrators.
I am stuck trying to create an account right now as I thought my previous stuff worked?
I absolutely love orks and everything orky, but I don't want to have to field 100+ infantry per match.
I'm waiting to see how their 9th codex looks before I decide to un-mothball my orks again.
Depending on their crusade rules I may build up an ork speedmob. It may be terrible, but at least it'll be interesting.
