    Lucky the battle sister kit comes with lots of extra heads for kitbashing.

    I preordered Piety and Pain from one shop because the other one wasn't expecting to get enough in for me to get one. Then, the other shop ended up getting enough, so I split one with a friend (me taking the Sisters, him taking the Dark Eldar), but then the other other shop called me and said that I was the only one who preordered, but that they hadn't received the box yet, but their rep said it should be in "soon", and that they would give me a discount to make up for it. So I might be able to get another box and offload the extra Deldar half and extra Sisters Primaris Lieutenant for a total of two Sisters halves.

    I'd go from only having a few Sisters Rhinos to two Immolators, which would be pretty nice. After that I just want to pick up an Exorcist and a set of Penitent Engines and my army will be ready to rock.

    The Crusade Rules included in the box are pretty wild, you can pick a bonus of having Multimeltas in your Retributor Squads always count as being within half range for damage.

    Ok odd I started to build the warriors from the wrath box but they have larger bases than normal as my warriors have the 40mm base these are bigger. Most of my warriors are from 10 years ago so.

    I bought Piety and Pain from GW when it went up for pre order as ebay was out and not knowing if the GW store would get one or more than X
    It has not shipped yet but as I said because I was tired and BoA did the call me I used paypal to pay for it
    I don't get why I can drop 50 to 100 on the hell known to men and they don't bat an eye spend a dime at GW they freak out but this is one of the many things I don't get like buying stuff on the blizzard ap I have to put in my password again to buy it but gifting it's good to go

    Warriors have been on 40mm bases since 3rd edition, and still are as of the new box.

    Sounds like you got the wrong bases.

    Speaking of bases, has anyone recently opened a box of Necron Wraiths? I see people saying they are on 50mm bases now but GW doesn't have a base size chart for 40K like they do for AoS.

    If you go to the GW webstore page for a particular product it will tell you what bases are included in the box as part of the 'description' drop down tab.

    I can't promise it's 100 percent accurate I suppose, but it says Wraiths are on 50 mm rounds.

    It’s a known issue with that box about the warriors - you’re allowed to use those bases too

    So this upcoming Crusade it looks like I'll be fielding my new Drukhari against a split of Sisters of Battle and Dark Angels.

    DA crusade rules are pretty neat in that I get an extra model for free to represent a Fallen each match, HOWEVER... if my DA opponent kills it he can induct a unit into the Inner Circle giving them a permanent transhuman. Also, lots of his stuff like HQ's and Bladeguard will have Inner circle by default.

    Having never played as Drukhari, and never played against the new DA codex, what's the best way to play around an always on transhuman? Just use volume of fire to chip wounds? Drive up a boat full of Incubi and start chopping?

    The last white dwarf had dire avengers on the cover.

    It had a painting showcase article for eldar. So I wouldn't read to much into we having a csm artwork.

    It has a painting article for the Biel Tan craftworlders, I wanted to flip though it just to see if that's what my brother wants [he is doing his craftworld army as that}
    I know it's basically less than 2 hours round trip to the GW store on a bike I do want to go for that paint deal at least. Yesterday was nice weather today it's high winds in the afternoon which was one of the two reasons that I did not go this last weekend. So hopefully baring weather I am able to go in the next 3 days

    I would love it if CSM got updated soon, I have more Chaos models than anything else but I’m holding off painting them because I still can’t decide which Legion to run them as. New rules might make that decision a bit easier

    Would also love for Emperor’s Children to get the same full codex & model range treatment as the Death Guard. The DG minis have so much character and I want that for Noise Marines damnit (World Eaters too but mainly EC)

    I just have the start collecting box, an extra 10 Marines so I can actually give the squads loadouts that make sense, and a squad of Havocs

    I used the Marines from the start collecting box to test a bunch of colour schemes to see which one I liked painting more but I liked painting all of them, even Alpha Legion (turns out I’m slightly colourblind for blues/greens, which I didn’t know until I tried washing and highlighting Alpha Legion)

    Building my new tyranid warriors I am going to give them the deathspitter. But I am going to magnetize two of them at the hips to be able to switch out to primes
    Just I don't know if I want to give the warriors I switch out the heavy weapons like the venom cannon or barbed strangler instead or one of the primes with it

    Primes can’t take venom cannons or barbed stranglers in the current codex.

    If any of the current 9th codexes are evidence, nids are going to be in a very different place when they get theirs. Heming and hawing about which wargear is better is a total crapshoot at the moment, as it will all likely be completely overhauled anyways.

    Hell, spinefists and rending claws might be the go-to loadout for all we know.

    I know they cannot right now but I have to drill the hips for the magnet first before I put the guns on
    I have 18 warriors 2 swap out to be primes [shows how old my warriors are as most from the pre prime era}

    Who knows as the prime does need some help with the changes to various armies we have seen I feel warriors will get scary
    The Prime might be a even scarier warrior. still I would like a flying warrior [the Shrikes} so I can do an all flying army I would have to get a harpy. But again I know they have said they want people to play with the bigger bugs so I feel the codex will really become really flexible so you can do still the swarm but things like the all warrior army or an all burrowing one and so on

    So I have been washing back and forth about how to do the arms for the dakkafex
    Digging in the various bags of tyranid bits I thought I have a ton of the claws I have not used and though small and beefy they look like they can take two of the devourer guns with a little help
    So this is what I slapped together in a few

    They had the codex at the GW store I passed on it and the combat patrol in favor of spending a bunch on paint
    They only got in two copies of Piety N pain

    I blew out the back tire on my bike riding back but I am over joyed I can finally paint once more!

    Getting ready to play this Sunday in person for the first time since last August? Maybe September. My club was doing outdoor gaming then.

    Just finished some normal not push fit eradictors. Cool box and all. Also there are like 23 heads for 3 models.

    Its really funny.

    I bought some rubber magnetic sheets to glue into a container and put magnets on the bottom of bases to hold stuff in place but the rubber magnetic sheet feels weak. The mini I put on there stays in place if I flip it over or sideways though but it feels like there is almost no pull when I take the mini off the sheet.

    Has anyone done this and know if this is what I want or are the sheets potentially too weak?

    Where did they get it? The only thing I can find when looking up ferrous metal sheets are saw blades.

    I put the magnetized mini on a steel bar I use for priming magnetized stuff and it sticks exactly how I want to it so yea, these sheets are not great. Considering refunding them or maybe finding another use for them.

    Sheet magnets are just fridge magnets. If you got good magnets on the bottom of your mini's that have some decent pull to itself/each other, just just use a sheet of metal (I think people say metal roofing shingles work) that they stick to. At least that's what I think should work.
