    Despite battlesuits being shit the Tau one is probably the best deal. But then you'd be playing Tau.

    The Tau one is one farsight away from being the full nine.

    It’s also missing a broadside isn’t it?

    Battle suits are fine aren’t they? Maybe not optimal but they can still do a job.

    Plus who is to say what they’re like in Apocalypse? I wager stuff not getting removed till the end of a turn is going to make a lot of things more interesting to take.

    Yeah, the ork preview makes kills kans sound good in apoc. They're trash in 40k, so who knows how the different systems play out.

    Today's preview is going through damage and attacks and the system is really different. I think that might help stuff like Kans out a lot. Also they always get at least one turn of activation. And their stats aren't bad verse a lot of things.

    I’ll probably pick up the CSMs to use in 40k. I’ve got enough Primaris infantry already so the SM one just doesn’t appeal to me. If it had a different spread of aggressors/inceptors then maybe. I feel like they missed an opportunity to bundle it with the new tank.

    My friend who is new to the hobby and started with Blood Angels (he is about to finally finish building his very first 2k army) was originally going to play Orks because he loves killa kans but ended up not since killa kans are so bad. Seems like there is a chance he might go Orks with apoc.

    The wound and damage rules are really interesting. Especially how the blast markers work. That mechanic actually reduces the amount of dice needed.

    Also that something like roboute has only 2 wounds shows that wound counting is also going to be a lot easier.

    Looks like they really put a lot of work into this. This is the biggest rule shake up for 40k since 3rd edition I think.

  • McGibsMcGibs TorontoRegistered User regular
    Given that robby only has 2 wounds, that seems to track that a unit of intercessors (also listed at 2 wounds) is one block, not individual models. Don't even gotta take them out of their movement tray!

    Yeah. Considering Bobby-G being 2 wounds and that it seems trays are a single set of wounds. You can play this with way fewer models just have them represented as a single models instead of a tray letting folks play it with out 6,000 point collections.

  • McGibsMcGibs TorontoRegistered User regular
    Let's them do interesting things with wounds/models/saves. If a unit of interccessors is 2W with a 6+ save, a big blob of cultists could be like 4W with a 10+ save.

    After seeing the price of those magnetic storage cases, I figured I could probably make something halfway decent to get the same effect.

    $30 in supplies and an old tool kit later....

    You can probably use the rules for 6mm as Epic 3.0, it's so similar.

    That missile IG has sounds pretty nuts. An AoE that can put up to 3 large blast markers seems pretty mean.

    New Apoc website is up with a video on how to play.

    For the T'au apoc box, I heard people saying that it could be pretty easily turned into the eight. Is that true? That sounds pretty interesting if so.

    I also think I'm gonna get the Necron, Imperial Knight, and T'au apoc sets.

    pretty sure you would just need Farsight and a Broadside, the rest of the eight could be done with whats in the apoc box as they are a mix of regular and enforcer crisis suits with fixed weapons.

    1. Farsight as standard

    2. Enforcer Commander - ABFL, Plasma Rifle, CiB

    3. Crisis - Plasma rifle, Flamer, Shield generator

    4. Crisis - Plasma rifle, Flamer, Shield Gen, Onager Gauntlet

    5. Crisis - Two fusion blasters, Fusion blades

    6. Crisis - Two flamers

    7. Broadside - two HYMP, two SMS, A seeker missile

    8. Riptide - ion accelerator, two fusion blasters

    Thats just the visible loadout and does not include the drones or non-visible wargear. (the onager and fusion blades have no official model as far as I am aware so you usually dont have to model those)

    Apoc box has....

    1 x commander

    6 x crisis

    1 x riptide

    drones aplenty.

    Sick, I am definitely interested. I also think I'm going to keep all my T'au KT stuff separate from my 40K stuff. I don't like the color shift paint job enough to do an entire army in it.

    So does the apoc stuff not come with the customization or is it static? Is that what you meant by fixed?

    sorry, I meant the 8 have fixed loadouts. if you take the 8 then they have to have the listed weapons.
    the apoc box will have all the usual sprues the sub-kits contain. so if you don't build as the eight you can build them as you like.

    Curses! I'm right in the middle of moving to Japan. Gonna be real awkward bringing all this stuff through customs...

    I kid, I'm just going to have it shipped. I think I'll hold off on buying the Primaris vehicle on its own: I would bet you a dollar that they're going to put it together in some kind of boxed set in the near future... or at least for the Christmas packs.

    Quick question for anyone who uses Citadel Air Paints: I've had a lot of trouble with my Averland Sunset air: it's real gummy and it produces a speckled, Spackle-like result. I don't have this problem with the other Citadel Air Paints that I've used. Is this unique to the color or did I just get a bad batch? I tried calling up GW customer support but I got a message saying they're doing customer service training until 1 July.
