[naive abyss]

CHONY SHOTGUNS

[jaunty dawn]

patriarch in kill team is wild

[naive abyss]

[thin ibex]

Yo I see shotguns

[jaunty dawn]

but also I like these guys a lot

[naive abyss]

i like them other than the swords lol

[thin ibex]

I'll take swords if we get shotguns

[unreal cosmos]

THIS FUCKS LIKE WILD

[past sphinx]

their goin in the Munda mining crew

[naive abyss]

but i can probably easily switch to axes

[thin ibex]

Who are they?

[jaunty dawn]

been looking forward to these since they were clearly gonna happen when the pioneers looked nothing like everyone else in style haha

Jaegers

[unreal cosmos]

I took an edible three hours ago and this show has been harrowing

[past sphinx]

new terrain spotted

[jaunty dawn]

broodbrother kill team

[naive abyss]

jaegers are a cool name

[jaunty dawn]

based on the new cadian box?

[naive abyss]

also yet another sniper rifles for kin

[jaunty dawn]

oh it's the bottlerocket rumour engine

[naive abyss]

allot of them

crossbow and mine stack

[jaunty dawn]

dorf guerillas

[naive abyss]

theyre absolutely space dorf rangers lol

[unreal cosmos]

I love their coats

[thin ibex]

Hmm what do you reckon Jaegers are all about? Infiltration and precision weapons in the field?

Cp or scoring disruption?

[jaunty dawn]

from the name and mines everywhere it just feels like infinity invading kill team haha

they're getting infiltration rules in kill team

[floral herald]

Is there a pic for them?

[naive abyss]

not a good one but i have one i posted

[jaunty dawn]

it's really hard because they just show these really fast cinematic shots haha

[naive abyss]

yeah

[floral herald]

I’ll just wait for the announcement on Twitter I guess

Not enough info to predict much there

[naive abyss]

https://vxtwitter.com/warhammer/status/1770657891495600608

[past sphinx]

i think those are the best Votann ive seen

or atleast the ones i like the most

[naive abyss]

they are a nice addition

[jaunty dawn]

seems like the patriarch was just for fun

[past sphinx]

really punch above the weight

or hieght

[upper bluff]

I'm a sucker for big coats

[floral herald]

What do brood bros do?

[naive abyss]

i wonder if this means the old salvager killteam is just gonna become the new warriors sprue box

[floral herald]

Is it a purestrain team or something?

[jaunty dawn]

veterans

brood brothers as in gsc guardsmen

[naive abyss]

its new cadian brood brothers basically

[jaunty dawn]

elite gsc with military training

oh no

okay

[naive abyss]

oh shit

[jaunty dawn]

the patriarch is in kill team

[naive abyss]

the patriarch is just there

[jaunty dawn]

ohh

it's like

[naive abyss]

its an option at least

[jaunty dawn]

the 14 model thing I think

[tired cairn]

How is the patriarch going to be in the kill team lol

[floral herald]

Oh so it’s gonna be like Blooded where you can have a Big Guy

[jaunty dawn]

10+ patriarch

[naive abyss]

hes like a pseudo boss model

[jaunty dawn]

patriarch activates twice

[naive abyss]

which is fun

[floral herald]

Prolly same as mutant ogryn

[tired cairn]

Yeah, but the patriarch is so big

[jaunty dawn]

he's two guys in a trenchcoat

[tired cairn]

Like, two orgryns in wounds on normal tabletop anyways

[jaunty dawn]

you can also take the elite guys from wyrmblade

[naive abyss]

cool new brood brother heads

[floral herald]

There’s some big ass models in KT

[jaunty dawn]

patriarch is by far the biggest

[brittle salmon]

Patriarch is pretty much going to be the nastiest boy on the table

[floral herald]

I’m curious what will separate them from all the other GEQ specialist teams

[brittle salmon]

So watch out

[jaunty dawn]

like, bigger than the transuranic arquebus

[brittle salmon]

I'm glad they've gone back to bespoke kill teams, I figured they wouldn't be gone

But this is a hella good box

Blows the first one out of the water

[naive abyss]

im assuming rats

or more teasing about rats

[jaunty dawn]

sigmar lieeed

[naive abyss]

i appreciate this being chaos vs chaos in here

[jaunty dawn]

cinematic is a stormcast lady reforging a bunch

[naive abyss]

rats

rats

were the rats

jesus fuck

oh they brought the city up

[past sphinx]

RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS

[naive abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-rats-the-rats-are-coming-the-rat-is-coming-cheese-gif-6284186146533419373

ngl this is probably the best aos cinematic theyve done

jezzails

[past sphinx]

new jezzails or bust

[naive abyss]

oh are we getting old stormcast modelss update?

this new lady is cool

[jaunty dawn]

it was about reforging all along?

[naive abyss]

i hope she gets a model

[past sphinx]

the exact same bit of lore weve known for

[naive abyss]

there might be more to it

[past sphinx]

like

years

[tired cairn]

Didn't we already know this "lie"?

[naive abyss]

cuz her eyes were weird

[jaunty dawn]

and is told to stormcast sdgfhsj

mm maybe

especially cause like

[tired cairn]

She also seemed pretty blase about it

[jaunty dawn]

Idk if being completely gone was an established outcome

[naive abyss]

oh is the new carriage gun the new ratling?

[tired cairn]

"he didn't tell us the full cost! Anyhow I'll keep fighting for him"

[naive abyss]

fucken

[jaunty dawn]

vermindoom

[naive abyss]

vermindoom

[brittle salmon]

I mean, it's a teaser trailer

[naive abyss]

just call it a vermintide

[brittle salmon]

They're not gonna give the game away immediately

[naive abyss]

omfg

you cheeky fuck

you literally said tide

[jaunty dawn]

takes sigmar 6 books to settle a city and then skaven just summon one

[naive abyss]

thats about right for skaven

[jaunty dawn]

ruination chamber

[pastel rampart]

That was my nickname in college!

[unreal cosmos]

ruination chamber innit

[jaunty dawn]

can you even watch the video they just referenced anymore :(

[naive abyss]

which video?

[jaunty dawn]

the one when they announced sacrosant chamber

the one where it goes

[naive abyss]

against krule boyz?

[jaunty dawn]

"my liege, you can't just solve your problems by opening another chamber"
and then sigmar goes "THE HELL I CAN"

[naive abyss]

https://vxtwitter.com/warhammer/status/1770660409600585809

https://vxtwitter.com/warhammer/status/1770661695284756756

[jaunty dawn]

I think this was the stormcast release after aos 2.0 was released

[pastel rampart]

I love that the plasma generators have a goddamn door

In case, y'know, you wanna microwave some popcorn.

[jaunty dawn]

aos 4 is getting rid of melee weapon ranges

so interested to see how they make spears work now

[brittle salmon]

Thank god for that

[jaunty dawn]

it was pretty inconsistent yeah

[pastel rampart]

They could take cues from other games and spears do something when the unit is charged.

Make it a universal rule so it's consistent.

[jaunty dawn]

gosh that brood brothers box is gonna be Stacked

standalone release is probably gonna be just the guard tbf

adding a mission deck to aos 4

leviathan style

oh for combat patrol

equivalent

I think

[brittle salmon]

Yeah, Termination is such a good box

[jaunty dawn]

I'm getting too sleepy to parse these conversations lol

[brittle salmon]

This also puts the rumours they're only doing one bespoke KT per box from now on to bed

Which I am very glad for

[naive abyss]

man she kicks ass

[jaunty dawn]

how'd you mean

[naive abyss]

this art is great lol

[brittle salmon]

Like the Eldar in the last box

[brittle salmon]

Where they bucked the trend of having unique models/operatives in favour of much more standardised dudes

[jaunty dawn]

oh

fair

bespoke has become meaningless in terms of kt tbh sfdfj

[brittle salmon]

Has it?

[jaunty dawn]

it just feels like everyone means something different when they say it

[naive abyss]

show us skaven models i beg

https://tenor.com/view/grinch-audacity-gif-7405621

denied rats

[brittle salmon]

[naive abyss]

excited for plastic HH admech cuz then i can get the tasty cyborg horror

[jaunty dawn]

cause like I don't really see the trend of one entirely new kit and one upgrade sprue having been bucked

but it's not really important, just semantics

[brittle salmon]

that is not what I'm talking about

[jaunty dawn]

no I get that

[brittle salmon]

like the Eldar in Salvation were just Striking Scorpions

No upgrades

[jaunty dawn]

it was just an idle remark

[brittle salmon]

fair enough!

[jaunty dawn]

just realised this lady has digitigrade legs

sylvaneth sicarians

[naive abyss]

i do find teh contrast between the releases for slaves and csm hilarious

prety cool on foot chaos lord marine vs chonk as fuck lady on a big ass lizard

[jaunty dawn]

I also find it kinda funny this is the second foot archer revenant model we're getting without it being a unit

[naive abyss]

lol

im curious what is in abrexias head

[jaunty dawn]

no thoughts

head empty

to avoid becoming a chaos spawn

[naive abyss]

i meant the like weird thing on her forehead lol

[jaunty dawn]

haha yeah

yeah its interesting cause they were like

always talked about the horns happening

and not the red skin and third eye with glowing cracks

[naive abyss]

omfg i just noticed her spears name

its fuckng gorbolg

this lady is chaos cu chulain

the book shes in is literally hounds of chaos

this reads like some homebrew i made up lol

wait what is the path?

cuz this reads like shes militantly chaos undivided

[jaunty dawn]

I guess archaons own motives?

[naive abyss]

im curious now on that front ngl

cuz itll be wild if shes some sorta militant undivided

gw just stealling my homebrew nonsense when im not looking lol

[jaunty dawn]

yup

every time

double turn is still in aos hehe

justice

[naive abyss]

ill say that was the pretties aos edition cinematic

the others all had a bit of jank visually to them

[jaunty dawn]

I wonder if this means it'll be more like when they made all the 2e battletomes free through the app when 3e came out, but with updates across the board, than how 40k 10th was handled

[past sphinx]

and they didnt even let me look at the damn munda models

[jaunty dawn]

I completely missed the necromunda bit haha

[past sphinx]

thats 3 van saar gangers tho

[brittle salmon]

double turn is easily the worst part of the AoS rules

[jaunty dawn]

with servo arms

[past sphinx]

21 seconds, didnt even get a title card

[brittle salmon]

so hopefully they have significantly reworked it

[naive abyss]

random but are the votann the first faction with two different depicted sniper rifles?

[jaunty dawn]

admech have the jezzail and the arqubus

[past sphinx]

and tallboys rifles

[brittle salmon]

marines have like, three

[naive abyss]

ah yeah fair

[jaunty dawn]

tallboy has one of either

[naive abyss]

i forgot about those

[brittle salmon]

scout snipers, eliminator rifles, and las fusils

[past sphinx]

guard has the karskin, scion and IG who hall have specific rifles

though all long las

[jaunty dawn]

not a quantity thing but the arbites squad has a sniper shotgun

[naive abyss]

i think my highlights are abraxia, the dorfs, and the space dorfs

[jaunty dawn]

just to put that out there

[past sphinx]

Space dorfs are gonna get converted ASAP

[naive abyss]

like love the jaegers though ill have to figure out how giving them axes is gonna work lol

[jaunty dawn]

ooh

some of these have hoods

[floral herald]

What models are those?

[jaunty dawn]

van saar gangers

[naive abyss]

the munbda ones they teased

[floral herald]

Ah, van saar makes sense

[jaunty dawn]

if you're cold your ironkin is cold give him a coat

[past sphinx]

Sigmar on the ork grindset

Mor foghty mor big -squigmar

[jaunty dawn]

I hope we do get thunderstrike liberators

[past sphinx]

New jezzails

Their in the trailer big time

Just gimmie jezzails

[uneven ember]

oh he stylin'

[naive abyss]

she

oh wait that was the irk lol

tbh still she im here for lady irk rep lol

[uneven ember]

yeah however they want to do it

[upper canopy]

https://youtu.be/j50Vt14jKaE?si=3CO2-2hORtH5GzQS

Also

https://youtu.be/gv9vghU317I?si=6sNHYfP0hxNPxRvW

[naive abyss]

agreed i hope allot of the older bits of the range get the facelift honestly

also im so curious now what the "Path" is mentined that abrexia follows

cuz itll be wild if my homebrew shit gets paralleled by gw for a second time lol

[uneven ember]

awww, 's cute

[rocky shale]

New csm battleforces are tempting

[floral herald]

It is

God I’m gonna have so many legionaries

[brittle salmon]

we finally got the jump lord back

at last,,,

[floral herald]

Raptors rejoice you have 2 characters who can join you at last

Which is honestly great

Raptors are a really frequently underrated unit imo

[brittle salmon]

flying deep strikers

Pretty dope

[floral herald]

They also get 2x special weapons which is weirdly good

With plasguns they can shoot a lot of targets decently well

[brittle salmon]

wait what

Legionnaires cost the same as Raptors, too

[floral herald]

You lose out on OC2 and get shittier special rules (oops all battleshock vs “we literally kill and eat units on objectives we charge”)

[brittle salmon]

True!

[proud wing]

getting a second genestealer specialist kill team before a first proper tyranids one is certainly a decision

granted brood brothers are probably the coolest part of genestealers (besides inexplicably hot psyker woman)

and I do enjoy having another One Real Big Guy themed team

[sinful merlin]

I am so hype for brood brothers though I do hope it has a few more arms than what's been shown

The timing is very amusing to me though since I was just about to try and put together a veteran guardsmen team out of one of my shock troop squads 😄

[thin ibex]

Being a bit silly

[spice flicker]

So skaven can just manifest parts of blight city now it seems

Hoping for new ikrit claw in trailer but unfortunately nope

[ebon forge]

THE LORD OF THE 🐝

[ebon forge]

That's so siiiiiiiiick
Tell me the LORE plz

s h o v e l

[thin ibex]

I love the fucking skullcap

Toque?

Beanie

[jaunty dawn]

the pioneers (jet biker guys) go around finding planets and such that have resources, marking the locations etc. if for whatever reason they need to establish a more permanent presence on a site, like to keep it secure or something, they drop these guys, the Jaegers. they're guerilla surivallists who are incredibly self sufficient so they can stay in one place for years without resupply

[ebon forge]

Oh i meant the chaos dragon thingy

[pastel rampart]

They're the Solid Snakes/Rambo of LoV, basically.

[ebon forge]

but thank you still!

[ebon forge]

With shotguns
Sold

[thin ibex]

Yeah I'm super fucking sold on the jaegers

That lore is my jam

Effectively LoV SAS

[jaunty dawn]

oh! She's archaons second in command. She beat up all the other chaos lords

and her spear mutates stuff and will also mutate her if she breaks concentration, which she has done exactly once which is why she looks daemony

[ebon forge]

Very nice!

[spice flicker]

I'll be honest about the skaven, I've always found them to be neat but never been much of a fan of the jezzails but the new trailer made them interesting to see. Also I was surprised at the speed of the leaked skaven gatling vehicle. I figured it'd be slow to move and maybe fire (expecting more artillery than tank role) but nope it can apparently do both pretty fast.

[topaz elk]

Hey question about Kroot, are the more animalistic among them (hounds, Knarlocs, Krootox) still sentient?

[unreal cosmos]

I don't believe so

[valid brook]

3.5e codex had a bit on how Krootox display protective behavior towards other kroot that painted them as somewhere in the “smart dog” ballpark

[unreal cosmos]

if I recall the thing about kroot beasts is if you go too far in one direction you lose the adaptation power, so after enough generations they get kind of "stuck"

[topaz elk]

Ah ok

[valid brook]

“Dead end” is definitely a phrase the old fluff used for non-sapient kroot forms

[tall depot]

she looks so sick
i love the look of chaos warriors in general, but she's especially cool

[thin ibex]

effectively the evolutionary path that led the kroot offshoots to being hounds and hawks and krootox didn't prioritize the utility of greater intellect

[unreal cosmos]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/21/heresy-thursday-seek-atonement-with-the-loyalist-turned-traitor-turned-loyalist-hibou-khan/

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/dSyRPmydDxpBDwON.jpg

[thin ibex]

dont usually see traitors turned back to loyalists

imperiums usually pretty damning about that, thats cool

[unreal cosmos]

yeah it would be cool to have a named loyalist-turned-traitor character but it's also cool to have some rep for the WS's Slayer types

[ebon forge]

That seems like a rollercoaster of emotions how that would even happen

[thin ibex]

theres definitely a story there

which is half the fun imo

there's rarely a situation where traitor turns back to loyalist, some would say its impossible, but that makes a character who did that much mroe intriguing

[unreal cosmos]

Basically a sizable portion of White Scars defected to Horus's side for a mixture of reasons (the Legion as a whole was never that attached to the Imperial core and a bunch of the veterans had worked with Horus longer than Jag) and after the loyalist side krumped 'em, a handful of the defectors begged forgiveness and Jag said "okay your job is now to throw yourself at the enemy until you're dead"

[pulsar cairn]

i'll use mad science to mash an ork and a skaven together

[pulsar cairn]

TRAITORS

makes sense tho

Horus was like...quite the lad before going cray cray

was there anyone besides Corvus who did not like him?

[unreal cosmos]

They have a special Rite of War where your infantry units can't give victory points for being destroyed so on certain Death Match style missions it's possible for them to be borderline unbeatable simply because you can't score off them

[pulsar cairn]

did that happen with anyone else?

like

primarchs accepting sons who went traitor back into their ranks?

loyalist primarchs that is

[bright dove]

Alpharius. 😛

[pulsar cairn]

[thin ibex]

i dont think we have many stories at all of traitors being accepted back, but im sure in the scope of 40k, its certainly happened

aside from the scars in hh i mean

the circumstances, nominally in 40k, would need to be rather exceptional

[bright dove]

For the non-Heresy case, there's the redemption crusades.

[thin ibex]

arent those largely similar? like "ok fine, go crusade till you are totally spent"

[bright dove]

Yes.

Which just seems to be the approach generally speaking.

[thin ibex]

imperium be big on penitence through total sacrifice

ooo im loving my brain going to ork kommandos vs LoV Jaegers

very cool match up

phobos KT vs jaegers also feels like a fun "shadow battle" vibe

Another silly goober list

[spice flicker]

That's a lot of assault intercessors in the Detachment that prefers standing still

[thin ibex]

It's OK, there are even more normal intercessors

[spice flicker]

1000 points tau list debate: 2nd riptide or a ghostkeel?

For reference:

Ethereal
Cadre fireblade

2x10 strike team

2x3 stealth team
1x6 stealth team

2x broadsides (heavy rail rifle, 2x missile drone, sms)
Riptide (ion accelerator)
835/1000 points

Lean more into stealth theme with ghostkeel? Take a 2nd riptide to give more heavy suits to the list? Take a breacher team+Devilfish for a more infantry focus feel?

[rocky shale]

Oh no, 1 of the new csm detachments will be for followers of vashtorr, I guess I'm gonna have to be a csm player now

[junior robin]

speaking of Vashtorr, now that the horned rat is officially the 5th chaos god on AoS, do you think Vashtorr will get the same treatment in 50k since hereteks are the closest thing to skavens clan Skryre?

[bright dove]

Probably not.

The Great Horned Rat has been the 5th Chaos god since Endtimes.

[junior robin]

also starting to think the designers of LoV are reading my mind because they keep releasing cool stuff thats really hard to convert to chaos

[desert jay]

Have you tried gluing more skulls and spikes to it?

[junior robin]

going for a more neutral heretek/meat slaves and robot overlord kind of theme, so not sure how to fit a lot of spikes into it

also really happy that we get a detatchment themed on each of the chaos legions in the codex 😌

[thin ibex]

imo, depends on the weapons you'd bring on the ghostkeel. The tide is tougher, but the ghostkeel might outlast it depending on range play. The fusion obliterator might give you an alternative anti armor punch, but the ion gun will broadly be on par across the two, though the riptide can slightly steroid theirs once per battle

i do note that you're only chaff/melee blocker is currently the stealthsuits and the single tide, id take 2 tides

as they can stall out enemy melee, and can still shoot in melee

[mental birch]

ghostkeel is funnier

[thin ibex]

iirc tau stealthsuits got an upgrade, their stealth camo gives -1 to w too on incoming fire in the new dex

[mental birch]

no they give reroll one's on both hits and wounds

[thin ibex]

ahhh

thats what it was

knew it had to do with wounds

[spice flicker]

Ion or burst for 2nd riptide?

[upper bluff]

Burst probably

But I'm also a sucker for redundancy

So maybe another ion

[spice flicker]

Kinda wish tau had a stealth character now

[jaunty dawn]

like a generic one?

[spice flicker]

Yeah

Make a pure stealth army composition easier

[tepid stratus]

Yeah I'm surprised there's no like pathfinder shasvre or ghostkeel commander

[mental birch]

What's the matchup

Twin Ion is what I lean towards

[thin ibex]

they DO have a stealth character, its Shadowsun

[spice flicker]

Honestly a new project is trying to design a satisfying 1k points list for each faction. This way if I ever invest in one I kinda have a good starting point to aim for when starting and also in case I find myself in a crusade campaign that starts at 1k points I'll be ready.

[mental birch]

New codex I dunno

For tau

Current index I'm a fan of the list I currently run

[thin ibex]

personally i like the burst better, but the multi damage on the ion is stronk

[mental birch]

I call

Fundamentals of tu

Taau

[jaunty dawn]

yeah there is shadowsun and darkstrider

but doesn't help if you need to take any enhancements

[spice flicker]

So far the factions I've designed a 1k points list for are: tau (now), IK, CK, necrons, sisters, custodes with more on the way.

[mental birch]

Tau is volatile

We don't know the points yet sadly

[thin ibex]

im suspecting retaliation cadre or montka becoming the competetive detachments, with a focus on the fusion crisis team being fairly common

but i also suspect hammerheads will stay in vogue

i like how stealthsuits are the higher quality spotters and the pathfinders are the higher quantity spotters, for units out of the codex

I do think we'll prolly see a lot of kroot armies coming out of the woodworks, but im not sure how competetive they'll ultimately be, while still being fairly fragile and lacking armor busting access reliably

mostly cause kroot are cool

[valid brook]

Hell yeah kroot gang; I have a bunch of carnivores from ages ago laid up somewhere and I’ll admit I am sorely tempted to go all in on the new stuff

Sold most of my old Tau but couldn’t part with the freaky lil guys

[upper canopy]

Hell fuck yeah

[mental birch]

The question kroot will ask is can you kill 180 5+ Invulnerable stealth units in a game

[jaunty dawn]

that are on all the objectives

[mental birch]

Yeeee

[thin ibex]

If enough people can't, you're gonna see some funny skew builds for anti infantry specialist weaponry, like the gladiator reaper, punisher leman, etc

[naive abyss]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/959864760441118790/1220421540462723112/SPOILER_image.png?ex=660ee121&is=65fc6c21&hm=f9976944929afcca408175451398037bd9aba3c4af931cd7ae2b50739c56382c&

Saw this cool kitbash in another server

[mental birch]

Sunforged just entered the chat

[tired cairn]

Kroot won't be the first hyperhordes list to exist. Tyranids had some that got good success, though aiui more balanced lists are still more popular

Though I wonder how much that is for gameplay reasons lol

[jaunty dawn]

yeah its being compared to endless horde

which also has unit revive

[spice flicker]

Gaunts don't have stealth or invulns though

So the points on the kroots will definitely determine what will happen.

[raw vessel]

https://vxtwitter.com/einherjarvalk/status/1770660977979088953

This is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deeds are commemorated here.

[jaunty dawn]

apparently the points in the codex are like ridiculous high yeah

[spice flicker]

Truly a kill or be killed area for the kill teams.

[jaunty dawn]

so gotta wait what a month for the full release with mfm

[spice flicker]

I'd like to place a bet regarding the knights codex: if we don't get bondsman back to both questoris and armigers before the codex I wouldn't be surprised if it's relegated to a Detachment if we even get it back at all.

[junior robin]

really wish my brain could stop overhyping the upcomming csm detatchments with things that 100% wont happen

[naive abyss]

somewhat random but i wanna say i appreciate that stormcast have slowly gotten more like vaguely wild barbarian trappings/gubbins

it makes them a nice mirror to chaos warriors and reps sigmars origins more which i like

[jaunty dawn]

mm

sigmar chaos warriors

[naive abyss]

i mean ultimately in some ways that is what stormcast are

[jaunty dawn]

100%

[naive abyss]

which like at the start of them coming out was not communicated very well visually imo

but like the newer stuff having more furs and etc on them really makes it more aligned to that concept

it also just looks good

like heavy armor wtih furs is a forever top tier look

hell its why i like that new chaos lord

and feel baseline csm should look more liek that lol

[naive abyss]

im very obviously biased but i think this may be my fave named HH model since the double axe fist dude lol

[pulsar cairn]

Sigmar had some redeemed chaos lads right?

[naive abyss]

uhh the only one i know of thats directly canon is neave i think

[floral herald]

Oh my god

Fuck, I needed to have somehow gone to Adepticon this year

Are adepticon stats/results out yet?

I'm curious who the Ball Pit Champion is

[past sphinx]

I beginning to get excited about this fucker

[uneven ember]

For prospecting minerals, and for if someone tries to stop you.

[spice flicker]

With skaven taking a big role at the start of 4th edition, any hope of an AOS vermintide game this edition?

[raw vessel]

Given how much time Darktide needed to keep cooking, I'd be fine with that being a long way off

[thin ibex]

fatsharks kinda got its hands full atm, itd have to be a different studio probably

also i feel like to really get into the AOS vibe, you kinda play like much more... characters embodying classic power fantasies; given that mechanically your characters in vermintide are absolutely ludicrous

but narratively you have just an elite soldier, a witch hunter, a dwarven ranger, a waystalker, and a battle wizard of fire. All of which effectively get represented in one faction in AOS

except maybe the waystalker

i feel like the narrative tone would definitely shift if you were playing stormcast or seraphon or something (though that would actually probably bring things in line mechanically lol)

[still warren]

I would love if I could play an Idoneth elf

But also the more dwarf engineer subclass would probably be a khadron overlord dwarf?

[past sphinx]

i dont think you could meaningfully make much beyond whats already covered in VT2's classes in a way that really suits AoS's more heightened vibe

i mean look how well the darktide classes are going

[pastel rampart]

I know someone mentioned the other day an AoS soulsborne game and honestly I think that may be one of the best ways to make an AoS game that isn't, y'know, an obvious army-wide game.

Crib off the hub-like nature of Demon's Souls and go into the various realms. Playing a stormcast gives you a perfect in-universe respawn.

[floral herald]

Oh that does sound cool

[past sphinx]

i think a small unit turn based game could work really well

like 10 man xcom

but with hammers

[still warren]

As long as you start as a mortal in the tutorial until you die

[pastel rampart]

See I'm thinking something along the lines of Space Marine, in that you embody the character in a more personal way.

[pastel rampart]

Oh of course.

[still warren]

I could see an army level game working but you're managing just one army, a CoS crusade

[pastel rampart]

Shrinking the scale to a single character you control does a lot to get the player invested in the game, and that can help sell it to people.

I mean eh not really? You don't carry over the same army from level to level.

Thinking specifically it's a CoS dawnbringer campaign

Could be a roguelite too, fits the high failure rate of them

[pastel rampart]

It could work, perhaps. But for a first outing for AoS video game, it hasn't exactly made a splash.

They meet on the battlefield again and you could cut the sexual tension with a chainfist.

[past sphinx]

i like him

hate the smoke

granted the old jumplord was err

interestingly posed

funny enough

4 years ago a dude converted the new one

[bold halo]

can chalk that one up to limits of 90s pewter casting

[pastel rampart]

He was released in the late 00s actually.

[bold halo]

damn I always thought he was older

[floral herald]

He’s got the soul of a 90s pewter casting for sure

[bold halo]

being contemporary with the old metal jump pack chaplain is wild

[pastel rampart]

Ah, 2007, that was it.

[bold halo]

god age of sigmar keeps trying to pull me in

these are top tier weirdos

[pastel rampart]

Mind, that was the same year they released the plastic terminator chaos lord which had multiple options so they could've just given a plastic chaos lord kit with a jump pack as an option.

But CSM never got a power armor multi-option kit like SM did.

(CSM also didn't get plastic raptors until 2012)

[past sphinx]

prime fodder for cawdor conversions

[bold halo]

love that one of them is actually two guys in a trenchcoat

[past sphinx]

there was a lot more conversion required if you wanted WYSIWYG back then

IIRC there was a farseer loadout you needed to cut bits from like 3 kits to make if you wanted to be strict about it

[bold halo]

yeah 2007 eldar was clowncar spam anyways though

[past sphinx]

i was still very quietly badly painting space wolves then and my friend was too poor to really buy enough for cheese

i might still have a few thunder hammers with miliput mold lines lmao

[bold halo]

oh I was a broke high school student who couldn't commit to a faction back then lmao

[uneven ember]

and they were nemeses

[bold halo]

but I made up for lack of minis to paint with time spent absorbing any and all information I could so I got a very good feel for the competitive metagame of the time

[still warren]

They're a underworld team so you only need those models if you want to play it

[bold halo]

I'm still thrown off from there being both underworld and warcry with very similar vibes

being able to just grab one box is great tho

I'm also very jealous of my tau-playing brother atm because huge brawler cavalry like the new krootox are my shit

but I'm not gonna play tau to get there

[pastel rampart]

Underworld is more a board game/card game hybrid with minis than the more skirmish-like Warcry.

Both small-scale but executed very differently.

[past sphinx]

warcry has a whole list of large and expensive wandering monsters for you to buy

[bold halo]

I DO love monsters

back in the day I chose dark elves as my warhammer fantasy faction because they had the highest density and variety of monsters

[past sphinx]

theres some pretty perfect weird fuckin creatures

sadly no weird fuckin dudes for hire

just the warbands

[jaunty dawn]

I hope if dkok rumours are true we get a proper engineer squad

[brittle salmon]

What rumours? :0

[jaunty dawn]

just that there'll be a bunch of dkok plastic

uh there's definitely some truth to it because there wasa rumour engine which had a dkok transfer on it

[brittle salmon]

oh neat

[spice flicker]

So 1k sons are next up on my list of armies to design a 1k points crusade force for and i say I'm really satisfied with this list. I feel like it's lacking a little but thoughts?

Exalted Sorcerer on disk (prosperine khopesh and warprlame pistol) (115)
Thousand sons Sorcerer (warpflame pistol) (95)
Thousand sons terminator Sorcerer (warlord) (115)

3x5 rubric Marines (icon of flame) (soul reaper cannon doesn't benefit from icon) (3x105)
1x5 Scarab Occult Terminators (soul reaper cannon) (215)

Forgefiend (2x autocannons and ectoplasma cannon+claws) (135)

990/1000 points

[thin ibex]

hmm, so personally id see if you cant squeeze a vortex beast into the list

i think they're one of hte best things the Tsons have got

[spice flicker]

Let me put the individual points cost in the list real quick.

The MVB is 165 points

I know I'm not a fan of tzangors at all and have no intentions of ever using them. If I got rid of the forgefiend and a squad of rubrics that'll leave me with 240 points. If I take the beast that'll leave me with 75 points which can be used for a chaos spawn or some tzangors but I'd rather not if I can.

[spice flicker]

Decided to move on from thousand sons and onto the next of the 1k crusade list project: Black Templars. This list is small and likely not that good but it does do 3 things decently: melee output, anti-tank potential, and getting that melee where it needs to be.

Black templars crusade

Castellan
Marshal (warlord)

2x10 primaris crusaders (all kitted for melee)
1x5 intercessors (someone has to hold the rear objective)

2x Land raiders

985/1000

fuuun!

love those little hormaguants, their colour scheme matches the terrain great too

need to pick up some of them

kinda wish they'd gone to 20 a box though tbh

[pastel rampart]

note that you can also get those plastic plants for really cheap off aliexpress too

[jaunty dawn]

oh!!

that little apc is really cute too

didn't realise they were marines (looks like scythes?) at first haha

[pastel rampart]

Yeah, wish I knew where that APC is from.

[spice flicker]

Left image is definitely scythes

[bright dove]

The old official wargame terrain book suggests buying aquarium plants for terrain as well!

[pastel rampart]

Yup! As did a lot of hobby sites in the early 00s. Lots of tutorials call for stuff like that.

It's just kinda funny how every so often it gets rediscovered.

[spice flicker]

Those pictures are making me want to invest in nids now.

[unreal cosmos]

it's a pleasingly naturalistic scheme

kinda lizardy

[thin ibex]

I feel like a kid fussing in their seat, waiting for new tau dex info and points to drop into the online resources

[jaunty dawn]

real points will take a while :(

https://anvilindustry.co.uk/instigator-atv?utm_source=brevo&utm_campaign=Instigator Physical&utm_medium=email

ooooh

[spice flicker]

I feel like the tau codex was written as one of the earlier ones. Also did I hear correctly that CSM is getting 7 detachments?

[jaunty dawn]

tauros type thing

almost; they're getting 7 new detachments

for 8 total

[floral herald]

If they're getting legion based ones that sounds about right

5 legions not covered by other books, and I'm guessing the last three are cultists, vashtorr, and Dark Pacts

[spice flicker]

I find it funny that CSM only has like 4 more models than the tau yet has twice as many detachments.

[jaunty dawn]

alpha legion/black legion/iron warriors/word bearers/night lords/emp childs still/renegade slash red corsairs/vashtorr

[spice flicker]

Tau could have had detachments based on the different seats but nope. One for the farsight enclave, one for kroot, and one for each of the two main combat philosophies of the tau.

[jaunty dawn]

if that's how it is emperor's children would be kinda absorbing creations of bile too

I wouldn't call the crisis detachment farsight enclave?

but yeah they definitely could have had more

[spice flicker]

Wonder if they'll ever get any extra ones like dark eldar did? Or was the extra DE one just an early release of pre-planned stuff?

[jaunty dawn]

probably the latter

like how armour of contempt turned out to be a pre-release of votann's void armour

[spice flicker]

I'll honestly find it hilarious if LoV have more detachments than tau.

[jaunty dawn]

that'd be wild yeah

I think the main 'sept' detachment I'd want from tau would be a dal'yth auxiliary focused one but it would kinda just end up being the kroot+tau detachment

which the kroot detach already does pretty well

[spice flicker]

My prediction for knights is that there will be around 3 detachments for CK and IK each. For IK you'll have one for the Imperium aligned knights (Noble Lance), mechanicum aligned nights (think house raven), and freeblades. For chaos I'm not too sure tbh.

[jaunty dawn]

maybe a mirror to the current csm one which gives them marks

[spice flicker]

Honestly with either (or both) knights I just want a Detachment that makes going heavy on the big guys great and viable. A Detachment to try and provide a better option than armiger/war dog spam somehow.

I don't know how it could be done but I wish it could be so.

[jaunty dawn]

I wonder if tau empire was the sacrificial lamb of the early codices in terms of gauging reception of low detachment count

[spice flicker]

What would you say is the general reception so far? Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of the low Detachment count.

[jaunty dawn]

not great yeah

[floral herald]

I’m actually not that surprised by that

CSM has a lot of really generalist units it’s easy to tape detachment rules onto

[jaunty dawn]

I think there's also a lot more like

legion fans than there are sept fans for better or worse

[floral herald]

That’s true

[jaunty dawn]

like a significant amount of people play a legion, not csm in general

even more than regular marines I think

[floral herald]

I used to play Tau and the septs mostly feel like color schemes to me

I know they have lore and sort of different doctrine but I don’t really know the specifics

[jaunty dawn]

I think apart from farsight enclaves yeah

there's just generally a difference between factions that existed mechanically before subfactions became universal in 8e

imo

like septs and hive fleets were made to be colour schemes

whereas stuff like marines were built from the ground up with chapter tactics

and like part of that is definitely favouritism I think

cause a big part of that was that space marines and csm got their own section in white dwarf for ages, which was where all their 3e rules were published

but it's nonetheless a fact of the matter

[floral herald]

I think it also happens to the really adaptable factions more

[floral herald]

[spice flicker]

Is the toilet off camera facing both of them being sat on by the emperor?

[zinc field]

So a while back I got a truly awful recast cerastus lancer

And I’ve been turning it into bits for my other knights

Like this chainfist

But now I don’t know what to use for fingers - the originals seem kinda stubby, and they’re not claw-ey enough. Anybody got suggestions?

[pastel rampart]

Clearly, more chainfists.

Chainfist fingers.

[spice flicker]

Thoughts on this Soulblight Gravelord list? I know it is very simplistic but am trying to wrap my head around the faction and seeing if this would work and be a decent list.

Legion of the Night

Vampire Lord
Wight King (General)
Necromancer

10x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)
10x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)
20x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)
20x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)
20x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)
20x Grave Guard (musician, standard bearer, Great Wight Blade)

1990/2000 points

[past sphinx]

thought that was Mandalore for a second

[bright dove]

No notes, it's perfect.

[brittle salmon]

Aren't Grave Guard pretty slow?

[spice flicker]

Yeah I know spamming 100 of the same unit isn't the most fun to play or fight but.... the plan was to build an army that can deal damage and just keep coming back in an unending tide/blob of sorts. Also because large horde of armored skeletons seem just a little cool.

[brittle salmon]

My main worry is its a bit too one dimensional to the point where you'll be picked to pieces by strong ranged firepower before you hit their ranks

If you diversify just a little bit with some fast flanking cavalry then I think you hit a good medium

[spice flicker]

Yeah SBGL from what I've seen have range as a big weakness

[brittle salmon]

I'm not up to date with the SBGL but it has most of the non ghoul and ghost Vampire Counts stuff, iirc

[spice flicker]

I could swap out the 2x10 grave guard for some black knights.

[brittle salmon]

So a few skeleton knights would work wonders yeah

[spice flicker]

Yep the bone bros, zombies, and vampires

[brittle salmon]

Hounds also fulfill the same function if they're around

[thin ibex]

does single threat overload not workout well in aos?

or is that old world?

[brittle salmon]

Just something to rapidly tie up any high power ranged stuff

[brittle salmon]

I mean, single threat overload suffers from identical problems in pretty much any format

[spice flicker]

If I go with trading thr 2x10 grave guard for 2x5 black knights I will be at 1930/2000 and idk enough about the endless spells to know what would be worth it since SBGL doesn't have any 70 points units.

[brittle salmon]

If you hit it from the side it's weak to, it can't deal with it

[thin ibex]

thats fair, though you do rely on a tac list not having enough responses

[bright dove]

Wolves are pretty good flankers and summonable, iirc.

[thin ibex]

id say wolves might be the way to go

quick, a bit chaff, and will tie up most ranged specialist for at least a turn

which can be huge

[bright dove]

And the extra mobility is nice for objective play.

[brittle salmon]

The Horrorghast endless spell seems pretty nice

[thin ibex]

mm ill bump around with some aos lists tonight

ive been feelinga bit stagnant with my hundreds of 40k lists xD

[bright dove]

AoS lists are fun

[thin ibex]

im not very good at it, the names often kinda blend together for me

have to look up pics of the units

also like learning unit lore

[bright dove]

Unit lore is very nice

[bright dove]

It's what makes me like Ungor raiders so much.

They're meant to Ambush the opponent. Go charging into or get charged by what looks like just clanrats and suddenly a quarter of the army is just right there ready to lay down fire.

[thin ibex]

Oh hmm, so like the ratling guns in the clan rats is good or bad

[spice flicker]

Give the clan rats some support but if clan rats get wiped before the ratling gunners are revealed They're gone.

So #goldendemon is finally here and it's time to unveil the piece that's captured my heart: a reflection of Cado's dual struggle with vengeance and honnor, as told in 'The Hollow King.' It's been a journey of patience and precision to bring this vision to life, blending old-school gaming render techniques of reflections with miniature painting.

Feels almost too melee heavy, but also feels decently dangerous

[untold swallow]

the AK lasgun is a fun touch

[unreal cosmos]

yeah, it's kind of a signature of the mortal elements in this chapter

Oh my god I see a techmarine to the left that isn't painted fully red

https://www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-review-the-battle-of-beta-garmon/#The_Shattered_Legions

shattered legions are apparently kinda an underbaked and overambitious mess RAW, but have good rules to steal to make simple but effective fixes

blackshields sound very fun, with a pick 2 traits system with what sounds like a lot of traits that get kinda wild

solar auxilia allied to a space marines get their own legion trait to represent how they grew to support their patron legion

[upper canopy]

https://vxtwitter.com/DumbRobotStuff/status/1771462400811606194

[tired cairn]

Are Blackshields and Deathwatch related in some way? Or do they just happen to both like black?

[upper canopy]

There's Blackshields in the Deathwatch

[desert jay]

Oh the Mutable Tactics is so weird

[tired cairn]

I get what they are going for

But the implementation is quite bad

[jaunty dawn]

uh

hmm

deathwatch is founded m32

so I don't think there's any direct connection between blackshields and deathwatch

blackshields and dw blackshield are both referring to the same action of defacing a chapter icon though

hh blackshields aren't necessarily actually black haha

and later on the primaris who weren't immediately attached to chapters, and veterans thereof, were called grayshields

so I think the blackshield/grayshield thing might be a tradition in astartes culture/religion that is maintained throughout the millennia

[unreal cosmos]

those blackshield rules look cool as hell

[bright dove]

Good news, Melee-heavy is not as dangerous in AoS. Some armies don't really get much of a choice about it.

[thin ibex]

is it a worthy attempt? I know little about the greater strategy

but it feels like saurus are rock solid troops

and the kroxigors are thicc

no magic feels also maybe weaker?

[bright dove]

Saurus are extremely good troops. AoS really centers around the objective play and accomplishing a tactic for the round.

Ah, right, Magic is generally important for the Lizards, but you do have things to help with that, like the Astrolith Bearer iirc.

Seraphon spells can just really jack up the efficiency of your army even more.

[thin ibex]

i went for a sort of "beat the hell out of em" army, with a laser cannon

[bright dove]

It certainly can do work in that regard!

Some of the only things that are going to be able to stand with Saurus are the big boys, like Ossiarchs

What I'm doing for a BoC srmy

[junior robin]

Ordered the grey knight combat patrol today so no turning back on looted dreadknight for my space wolfs

[thin ibex]

you looking to keep the strike squad?

[junior robin]

part of me wants to start a 25th army (grey knights) but will probably use parts of the marines in the box as "reclaimed armour" used in "field repair"

and not as chaos style battle trophies

[jaunty dawn]

cursed

[junior robin]

though I would love to add a crucified grey knight to the army, but the biggest unit it got was a land speeder and those are gone now

[junior robin]

ngl, I actually want to do that to a 40k army but make them rank and file

Yeah, a lot of sanctioned religious texts and contemplations on said texts and prayer scrolls and hymn books and also the company newsletter

(A chapter level newsletter was attempted but logistical concerns made it impossible)

[thin ibex]

Is there a cities of Sigmar city that kind of exemplifies like... dogged resourcefulness and stubborn refusal to die?

Or like a smuggler/ crime city?

[junior summit]

thats quite a few of the cities

freeguilders take on god knows what with steel and powder

[jaunty dawn]

Misthåvn is known as the City of Scoundrels

it's a floating city on a big ol sea in Ulgu, realm of shadow

There was also Anvilgard, a port city in Aqshy, but it got taken over by Morathi-Khaine and is now Har Kuron

[jaunty dawn]

@unreal cosmos kinda mid-revision atm but the basic idea is that the planet they're founded on is a knight/feudal/death world with heavy sisters presence. a few centuries pre era indomitus their gene seed just straight up stopped taking and they didn't want to admit this nor could they figure out why. Then during the indomitus crusade Cawl found some of their gene seed tithe and found it a diverting challenge, and when the torchbearer fleet showed up he was here like "I figured it out, here's a bunch of primaris. turns out it just works on women now" or somethin

[unreal cosmos]

I dig it!

[jaunty dawn]

so they recruit from schola at the kinda pre-puberty age so they all grow up with classmates who later become sisters

[unreal cosmos]

I imagine there's potential friction from having to share the same recruitment pool

[jaunty dawn]

this was partially orchestrated by a conspiracy within the inquisition because they believe in miracles and psychically predicted that this would come to pass. and they think if sister candidates become marines you'll get miracle marines

there's probably like. one sided friction in older elements of the sororitas order but in the younger ranks it mostly just means they have a very strong relationship

[unreal cosmos]

nice!

[jaunty dawn]

the planet is politically like a big split between the ecclesiarchy and the knight nobility. the knights hold most formal power but the sisters order has a lot of influence over them as well performing a lot of policing and such

[still warren]

Some of the 4e new edition art, really hoping we get more of the weirdo ruination chamber stuff

[jaunty dawn]

and then also the idea I had a while back idk if you remember but with putting more of a focus on the chapter command elements like librarians. So like with the Sternguard squad the lore behind them is that they're part of the Apothecary order which develops their special issue ammunition for each new enemy, and protect working apothecaries in the field

[unreal cosmos]

Yeaaah that's cool

[jaunty dawn]

Did anyone pick up the Wrath & Glory Aeldari supplement? The reviews on Drivethru RPG are negative, but it did get updated recently, so I am wondering if they have cleaned it up since launch

[upper canopy]

Why are the reviews negative?

I read it on release and liked it

[tired cairn]

https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/305327/warhammer-40-000-wrath-and-glory-aeldari-inheritance-of-embers

Copy-and-paste errors abound (notice that the Howling Banshees don't even have Weapon Skill among their required skills even though they're a melee archetype specifically...and then notice that that's because their skill stat line was simply lifted whole cloth from the stealth-and-sniping Ranger archetype).

Similarly, the Wargear chapter is a dreadful mess, and its tables seem largely inconsistent with the Wargear tables

[solemn gull]

I don’t see the complaints about the gear section, It’s pretty full which is an issue I had with WanG’s core rules

[junior robin]

to make things even funnier, genestealer cults could have marks of chaos in the old rules.

so imagine being a newly starting cult trying to grow quicker by taking over a khorne one only for some world eaters to show up, kill everyone else on the planet and take you with them

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cult_Tenebrous also sort of still canon with chaos gsc

[ebon forge]

Is this glue as good as people say?

[pastel rampart]

Yes.

It's especially good for sealing up very thin gaps, as you can apply a thin layer and it'll partially melt the plastic, thus sealing the gap.

Now, two things to note:

1. You can make "sprue glue" with this by dumping bits of plastic (usually sprue) in there. It'll form a plastic goop that you can then apply over larger gaps to fill in spaces; once hardened, you can then shave and cut it like normal plastic.
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKm9rwHFwLs You can also just make extra thin cement at home using basic chemicals, or grab the airbrush cleaner he shows off.

[ebon forge]

does it work with Resin?

[pastel rampart]

Said cement is a 50/50 (or thereabouts) mix of butyl acetate and acetone, both of which are common chemicals you can purchase in large quantities. Not strictly necessary if you're not gluing a lot of plastic models over years, but for hobbyists like myself and other weirdos with poor purchasing habits it's a big cost-saver.

And no, you want super glue for resin.

[ebon forge]

But that sprue filler sounds amazing tho

[pastel rampart]

It is!

There's stuff like Mr. Dissolver Putty that's basically sprue glue, and that works fine but you can make it at home for cheap and I recommend it.

You could probably use sprue glue on resin tho. I've not actually tried it myself, mostly because I haven't encountered a gap big enough in a resin product that'd require anything more than a dab of greenstuff.

[ebon forge]

I fear nad respect Resin for their muldable potentio nbut for their toxic potential as well
So maybe is better to stay with epoxy glue for resin

But will keep in mind the sprue glue at home!

[pastel rampart]

Well, specifically you want to keep to super glue to assemble resin, and any gap-filling after the glue has dried. Which at that point sprue glue will probably do the job.

This does remind me that I gotta track down some butyl acetate for cheap and start making my own cement.

[wintry mist]

its really tasty

[ebon forge]

Remember to eat with sugar to raise the meltability

[pastel rampart]

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-thunderlords-exo-frames-261972 Oh, now these I like.

Finally, number-less dices for Space Wolfs! /j

[thin ibex]

We'd be mad if we could read

[floral herald]

What are those dice for originally?

[ebon forge]

Werewolf the Apocalypse 5e

[floral herald]

ah that makes sense

[ebon forge]

Basically the ones with the claw marks is a success
But the red dice have the jaw marks, which is a rage fail

[tired cairn]

Oh, does 5e WoD not care about 1s generally?

[ebon forge]

oh they do
1-2 on a rage dice and you are fucked

[long void]

oh, how do rage dice function compared to vampire hunger dice?

I'd assume they also infect your pool and have the potential to push some messy results

[ebon forge]

Yeah basically, the game calls when you must use a rage dice
Because if you do a regular skill check, it only cares if you rolled a 0-5 6-9 or 10
Rage cares if you rolls a 1-2 3-5 6-9 or 10

You only crit fail if you roll 0 successes on a skill check
Rage makes you crit fail if you roll a 1-2

if you want we can move here to the WoD channel

Not but yeah
1-2 on a rage dice?
you must kill/incapacitate everything that looks like a treat before resuming doing anything you want

'On its own, a single Brutal result is simply treated as
a failure, but two or more on a single test yields a Brutal
outcome. A Brutal outcome causes a test to fail (usually
with something being wrecked, harmed, or destroyed),
unless the aim of the test was to cause damage or injury,
in which case a Brutal outcome yields four additional
successes'

fun stuff
The space wolves must deal with that on a regular basis
World Eater live with that

[spice flicker]

In age of sigmar if I am playing the kharadon Overlords and all my vessels are in a battle regiment Battalion but not my whole army, would it still count as a one drop it the units not in the battle regiment are being transported by those within?

For example if all the army but one squad of arkanaut company were in the battle Regiment but I put the company in a Frigate or ironclad would it still be a one drop or two drop army?

It is instead of deploying, so their chance to deploy still has to come up. So no.

Not bad but if you look closely the upside model's head has fallen off... guess the judges missed that...

Ugh, never mind can’t believe I didn’t notice

[junior summit]

I"m assuming this is sarcasm

[tired cairn]

Neat concept

[unreal cosmos]

I know the Blackshield rules are going to do something to my brain, I've found out you can actually upgrade your Tacticals' firepower by having them dual-weild carbine stubbers

[jaunty dawn]

yeah it's so cool

TLDR

[topaz elk]

It is kinda funny seeing a guard list with more Karsikins then normal guardsman

Those dudes are just there for moral support

[desert jay]

Look when Lord Solar and Creed both show up you pull out your best

[thin ibex]

i was intrigues by the absolutely no infantry daemons army

also 9 bullgryns out ther like "Im not here to kill you, the artillery will do that for me"

[pastel rampart]

Yeah wtf, that made me double-take.

[thin ibex]

just all speed, no brakes

looking at a brettonian army in disguise

also for shame tau army, not a single railgun to be seen

oh also laughing and super entertained by the Aeldari army

they looked at the hypercrypt and gk teleport detachments an went BET

and made their own teleporting, jumping, hypermobile army

[desert jay]

I'm pretty sure except for Belakor it's all Khorne too

[pastel rampart]

Mixing some brett stuff model-wise would be fun, methinks.

[desert jay]

Which actually kinda makes me sad for Skarbrand, getting upstaged like that

[thin ibex]

i think its cause belakor offers stronger defensive benefits

its also interesting to see that a number of lists dont really go hard into anti armor much at all

the admech list is all about board control for example

and the aeldari's supermobile list only had 2 units of fire dragons

hell, not a single land fortress out of the votann

[bright dove]

Board control does win games

[thin ibex]

also cool to see that the admech list only lost once

[mental birch]

Admech goo

I like having money tho

[thin ibex]

Tau getting 1st is pretty sweet, and i udnerstand why no rail, but i am sad to see no rail

also one last hurrah for spammed CIB i guess

generally the sky ray feels like its just a more reliable take for both hard and soft targets

also a big fan of the heavily mechanized votann

[junior robin]

I'm more of a heavy mechanical votann fan, really hope we get some big robots soon

[mental birch]

Tau is one of tye armies that gets better resuts with literally no changes

[junior robin]

finally, a primaris Lieutenant that will pierce the heavens.

[mental birch]

Because its so difficult to learn

[junior robin]

really hope this drill servo skull is for a multi-part plastic inquisitor kit with 2 pages of options.

[pastel rampart]

Jokes on you it's another primaris lieutenant.

[junior robin]

finally, the emperors bores

[sweet solar]

we need to start giving other factions accses to luitenants in primaris armour so they can get models

[ebon forge]

Orks in Primaris armor when

[junior robin]

they really should bring back power armour for orks

[upper canopy]

Dawn of War Mega Armor is the best mega armor

[ebon forge]

If M' Ork is not waddlin' to walk
Give 'em moar ARMOR

[thin ibex]

Primarorks

Primarons

Primarinids

Pridari

[valid brook]

Prau

[thin ibex]

do yall know, if i run an allied knight in crusade, it still gains xp right?

[soft willow]

It does, as it's still a unit in your order of battle.

[thin ibex]

totally would do that with my wolves
