Trained in the hidden art by Kenainath, Exarch of the Shrine, Korlandril leaves the Path of the Sculptor behind, reining in his primitive bloodlust, crafting his body into a thing of lethal beauty. Korlandril`s first task is against the Orks upon Eileniliesh, an Eldar Exodite world. The Aspect Warriors strike a hammer-blow against the Orks, though Korlandril is gravely injured by an Ork Warboss.
elfin yew
The worst part is that most of the side chars are more interesting than korlandril
I actually liked Arhulesh
He was p funny and had a personality beyond whining
elfin yew
Exodites yet again only existing to be either owned or saved

Oh wait...
Gw's new tournement rules 😩
edgy cipher
Unless its a tournaments most people won't care
elfin yew
Yee
The manager at mine said he wouldnt care if I got those custom aspect warriors to run DHDH

DH ?

Gw's new tournement rules 😩
It's simple. Make a mold of the model and then meltdown whatever leftover GW sprues you got and remake the model with 100% Gdubs plastic.
Foolproof
edgy cipher
You know what, once I'll try to go at a local warhammer store and ask about trying to play with other minis outside of tournaments
Genius move
elfin yew
GW Primarch Geneseed™️ brand plastic
edgy cipher
That's different then
vivid rune
Idk why those rules would be enforced at a aos tourni
edgy cipher
I just hope the store manager is cool
I think its not 40k only
Since base since and miniature recognition is usually a big thing in tournaments for readability
vivid rune
90% of age of sigmar midwest tourniments dont have a prize pool because its a fundraiser for some kids cancer treatment and is actively held in an open bar
edgy cipher
Oh
vivid rune
Theyre basically hangouts
edgy cipher
Then it really is store manager dependant then
vivid rune
Aos and 40k tourniment scenes are very different
All the sweaty tryhards left when fantasy was hucked

Survival of the fittest lenard
vivid rune
Its frustrating see GW do all this shit
I get it
Its their legal right to do so
But what is legal can also be unethical
And also really fucking stupid PR moves
edgy cipher
Money money money
vivid rune
Is pirating from large corpos legal in the US? No. Is it ethical? Well since most of these corpos use tax havens to make their business look like some struggling mom and pop shop in Panama, the fucking government gives them large sums of money ontop of the shit they make. That money is our tax dollars
So yes
It is ethical to pirate from large corpos
Because is it really stealing?
Its reclamation if you ask me
Anyways
I finished Dominion
The kruleboyz are fucking scary
trim hemlock
The kruleboyz are fucking scary
How are they tonally? I still get the feel they're treading on gobbo toes conceptually and am interested in what sets them apart.
vivid rune
@trim hemlock you know that scene in predator where they leave that guy out in the open as a trap
Theres a scene where its revealed what happened to all the scouting parties
They find individuals left barely alive strung up and tied to sweet smelling fruits
Carved with smiling evil faces
They want to go after then and cut them down but someone points out hidden spike pits full of the mangled bodies of people sent to rescue them already
Then the giant bird beaked centipedea showed up
People watched in horror as the only thing they could do is shoot the man dead before the creatures ripped him into nothing but a bloody skeleton
Then they pointed out more in the fields who already met that fate
The goblins are written like loonies and madmen in gloomspites and gitslayer, equating to their attacks as pranks and getting lost in their own jokes like idiots
The kruleboyz are in it for a laugh but the amount of cunning they put in is matched with just how fucked up and brutal the other orks are
edgy cipher
They put the grim in AoS I see
trim hemlock
Sick, I love it. Thanks Puddles, I need to snag a copy of Dominion now
vivid rune
As someone who has read both goblins stuff and kruleboyz, they may seem similar but theyre tone is completely different
@trim hemlock the audiobook on audible is quite good
And the prolouge made me cry abit ngl
But thats becauses im hyper emotional lol
Fucking anything sets me off
elfin yew
NOOO
vivid rune
@sour hill why do you do this to me?
Also
Im torn
What book next
Theres Gotrek book 3
I wanted to start lady of sorrows
sour hill
It always gets me. That episode always fucks me up.
elfin yew
You know, reading Warrior has made me wish we had a pre-fall war of heaven book about the gods, either that or something focusing on the Asurya
That wasn't written by gav
vivid rune
Asurya?
elfin yew
The phoenix lord stuff is p good
sour hill
I don't know if you dig the SoB stuff at all, but Requiem Infernal has been incredible.
elfin yew
it predates gav I believe

Creepy religious horror book
elfin yew
That and Gav's actual like, background fluff stuff for the eldar is actually pretty okay
his actual writing sucks tho
vivid rune
This is why i got really mad about bricky's "hot take" about the sisters
sour hill
Shieeee. Yeah. It's basically them re-uniting with their old sisterhood. Super fucked up.

elfin yew
Oh yeah sorry I wasn't suggesting, I really don't suggest reading path of the eldar 
I was just talking abt what I've been up to
sour hill
@vivid rune Fair enough. 🙏
elfin yew
I like bricky overall but he has some pretty smoothbrained moments sometimes
vivid rune
It was his whole "why we dont need female space marines" take
elfin yew
Oh yeah
vivid rune
Which he said wasnt really a hot take
But it kinda was
Because what he fails to realize
He may think the sisters are really cool
But like
I want female rep, that isnt zealotous dogmaticism
crisp forge
GOD that "take" yeah now i remember
vivid rune
I dont like that
crisp forge
i fucking hate it since its always "lmao just play sisters then"
its not the same thing ffs
elfin yew
Yeah 40k's rep is p bad in human factions
sour hill
Yeah.
vivid rune
I dont want my army to be a reflection of the abuse i went through as a kid
sour hill
Considering the head of the sisterhood just wants them all barefoot all the time.
crisp forge
the only reason female marines dont even exist is because leftover 80's machoism of boys with big guns that GW cant get rid of 
meanwhile chad stormcasts
vivid rune
This is why i play AoS and not 40k
I like my hobby to at least pretend it has my interests in mind

some fucker mixed up the molds/scheduling so it never happened
headswaps are an option at least i guess
but also women so
elfin yew
Drukhari heads are p good for it
Their heads are generally kinda pretty
I used Drukhari heads for some of my cult since they're more lithe
vivid rune
Where are those heads from?
The one of the left is yndastra
crisp forge
I dont think so? I'm not good with models 
sour hill
Damn.
crisp forge
I just copied their heads from the store and edited them in as images
sour hill
Even better.
crisp forge
I love her
vivid rune
She is a fucking maniac
sour hill
I'm gonna look into this though.
I think I will do my custodes as females for my diorama.
This is such good inspiration
Drukhari heads you say?
And I can get that Triumvirate pack for more heads too.
crisp forge
yeah and female custodes isnt that illogical either, since their entire creation process is not fully explained and waved away as "gene-alchemy"
so you dont get the stupid geneseed bullshit
hasty sorrel
delete custodes
crisp forge

Drukhari heads you say?
Also even though my heads were photoshopped in i feel like stormcast heads might be a better option

Sadly Terminator armour isnt supported by SoB lore 😦

elfin yew
Has anyone else seen what seems to be the starting KT 2e rosters and a bit concerned?
I'm not sure if this is everything or if its just a shortlist
CWE only have guardians, stormguardians, rangers, and dire avengers for example
green cave
We know that a bloodletter is half a custodes for HP
elfin yew
Drukhari have kavalites and wyches
2 units
Or models rather
Model variety may see a significant downgrade from old KT. Since expansions and stuff
Atleast at first
Guard only has regular infantrt and tempestors, no ogryns or such listed
Which iirc you could run in old KT
Lmao SM have 10 models listed
Figures
Unless the website is just incomplete or the specialist rules rlly make each individual customizable alot then this is a bit worrisome
Even if the latter is tru, I do like having a more varied team
Another interesting divide is that Imperial Guard and "Veteran Guard", the new kriegs, are separate factions
Same for orkz and kommandos
tiny cairn
Lmao SM have 10 models listed
That's because primaris only have 1 loadout each and they also need 1st born, if primaris didn't exist it'd be like 2-3 models as well
I'm sure if kt is received well enough we will get more "armies" in the form of new boxes that cover wider areas, if no one likes it on launch though we'll get one more box tops
edgy cipher
Guard only has regular infantrt and tempestors, no ogryns or such listed
WHAT
DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY
NO OGRYN OR BULLGRYN
Oh now i'm pissed
tiny cairn
You'd have like 3 bullgryn as your army
tiny cairn
And it's not like bullgryn are known for small unit tactics
And you'd have like one customization option of: slab shield?
edgy cipher
They were a staple of KT
You could kit them with slab shield or brute shield, club or grenade launcher, bone head or no
A great units for guards because they fucked in melee, could give orders if boneheads even
And we even lost the crusaders
tiny cairn
It sucks, but it makes sense, wait til you see Tau in new kt
edgy cipher
How does it make sense ?
Darktide is literally a kill team
And even not mentioning Darktide, I dunno man
Having 2 choices of unit suck ass
In a faction that has a lot
Like we lost our officers etc
tiny cairn
It's 2 units but like 8 loadouts
edgy cipher
Unless now it's an IG build
What about SM
They get 10 different units with loadouts aswell
tiny cairn
This game is meant to be a loadout game for the new version. Sm have 10 units because primaris have only one role for each model
edgy cipher
KT1 has multiple loadout even for the primaris
But I'll wait for the full release
then once I have the book in hand i'll judge
green cave
When i cried out to this new KT BS i was called a madman... Well, now it seems i'm still a madman, but a right madman
edgy cipher
Glad I could find another malding pal
tiny cairn
Well if it sucks at start then you won't see any changes cause they'll just do the bare minimum
hasty sorrel
the health and stuff overall is fine
its just the unit rosters is... weird?
like i can get what they are doing, its to make it so when someone goes "oh im playing X" you know what they are fielding
tiny cairn
It's super light we need to see what they actually get
hasty sorrel
yeah
green cave
It break customisation IMO
tiny cairn
How do you do Tau customization though all they got is breachers or pulse carbines rn
green cave
Sure, i know about all plasma guard thing, but i think that if i want to field only one type of troops i should be free to do so, it is my KT, it is my decision to fight how i want
tiny cairn
They are going for balance first this time, though imo custodes shouldn't be in kt because in lore 2 of them could kill just about any other set of the units
edgy cipher
Don't forget Chica, the lore is at the service of the tabletop and not the other way around
tiny cairn
They still have dumb rules on the tabletop, they aren't great because it's an objective game but they are annoying
2+ 4++ and other annoying shit
tiny cairn
I'm sure they're gonna have insane melee rules/hp
Especially since you'll only be able to field 2 of em at max iirc
It's also gonna be only like 3~ marines
dusk hill
cutsodes have been p bad throughout KTs lifespan so i'd hope they'd address that in some capacity
edgy cipher
cutsodes have been p bad throughout KTs lifespan so i'd hope they'd address that...
They get 4 actions per mini
Which ends up having an action economy comparable to space marines
Especially since you can field them with SoS
tiny cairn
It cause they're so hard to balance without going overboard, if being balanced is 60lbs (or kg is that helps) each one weighs 25 lbs it's hard to get them close to balance without breaking the scale
tiny cairn
I'm sure if it's popular we could see a Nob vs Ogryn expansion but I doubt they'd do that cause they need more faction variety
edgy cipher
Dunno looking at the website there is quite the faction variety
kroots are even their own faction
tiny cairn
Everyone is there, but kroot don't have shit for variety
edgy cipher
We don't know yet what kroots have
We don't have all the rules yet you said it yourself
tiny cairn
I know what regular kroot sculpts have
edgy cipher
But this is KT
A completely different game system
That decided to break away from conventional ttp
dusk hill
LOREFUL
edgy cipher
tiny cairn
There aren't gonna be kroot sculpts just for kt unless it's super popular, there is no way you won't be able to do wizzywig with gw kits
dusk hill
i mean, i assume KT is still using 40k* models
tiny cairn
Yes
edgy cipher
Yep
tiny cairn
And kroot don't have loadout options, so they have less variety than the two guard models
edgy cipher
I think only the shaper is allowed to have a pulse rifle
I hope they allow kroots to have some tau gear
edgy cipher
And forgotten by GW
elfin yew
Im back alive and yeah its rather dire
tiny cairn
I think the point of kroot is to be paired with Tau hunter cadre
elfin yew
Lmao, cwe with 1 aspect
tiny cairn
Cause you can put down two groups at max
dusk hill
the point of kroot is to be a slab of meat to land on objectives i thought, unless that's working v differently for KT
edgy cipher
They are different factions however
elfin yew
I have the feelinf theyre gonna use this to milk new kt for expansions
edgy cipher
Unless the rules say that you can gather allies from other lists thats hare a keyword
elfin yew
With vanilla being stripped so bad
elfin yew
Kroots the tru beakies
tiny cairn
That's the point, cause they don't want their old models being good for new stuff, but they'd rather have new stuff be usable for both from a business standpoint
dusk hill
correct
dusk hill
They are different factions however
wait like, kroot are seperated from tau? or do u mean smthn else
tiny cairn
They are their own faction list
elfin yew
Ye they are
tiny cairn
But I could see being allowed to bring allies like in reg 40k
Cause you can have a max of 2 detachments of w/e
elfin yew
We dont rlly know yet. There are some other oddities too
Like guard and veteran guard
Or orkz and kommandoz
dusk hill
having a whole KT composed purely of kroot sounds,, bad
elfin yew
The funniest thing to me is that
tiny cairn
I think it'd be cool if kroot could be hired by a couple factions as mercs, and then they made a freeboota box that could be paired with non Orks
edgy cipher
I think its because Kriegs and Kommandos are the special boxed KT
dusk hill
the whole point is u can equip ur team with a bunch of diff specialised things
edgy cipher
Because you can field kommandos in a normal greenskin KT
dusk hill
all kroot have is the sharp bonking sticks
elfin yew
CWE dont have their like, big melee things available. Just storm guardians
I'm not sure why they chose storm guardiand and not like, scorpions or banshees
tiny cairn
The way to look at how they are doing releases is 1. If it's popular expect alot more boxes. 2. Treat every faction other than krieg or kommandos as not having a codex, as more boxes come out those will be just better than their non kt versions
dusk hill
wtf even is a storm guardian
elfin yew
Its a more melee oriented guardian
dusk hill
,, that's weird
elfin yew
With a sord and pistol, and choices of flamers and fusion gun
dusk hill
So you can't even use banshees, the one CWE model that isn't older than the playerbase
elfin yew
Yep
dusk hill
akh
elfin yew
Only 1 aspect
elfin yew
For cwe, the faction flavored around aspects
dusk hill
yeah that's sorta like, idk
tau with only basic gun drones or smthn
,,, substantially worse even
tiny cairn
They have stealth suits atleast lol
elfin yew
Who are just like militiamen fluffwise
dusk hill
tau have quite a lot honestly, it's nice
elfin yew
Militiaelves
Yee
They are missing their crisis suits
But they got most the old roster
dusk hill
idk if anything has changed but i've only ever played the current basic KT without expansions, and u still get a lot of stuff
largely cus everything has quite a few loudout options
pathfinders are v versatile, fire warriors can go a few diff ways, plus drones give nice flavour
happy blueberry
dusk hill
what's the issue with guard?
dusk hill
??? that's also really weird lol
elfin yew
No ogryns or such
dusk hill
GSC are like, the perfect faction for KT
elfin yew
Yep
tiny cairn
GSC are in
dusk hill
esp aberrants as like, a big dick bruiser that still not like
so big that it feels weird on the smol board
elfin yew
Yeah KT was also the only game where they were usable ruleswise to any good extent
dusk hill
F
so like, i assume this is functioning basically like going back to square 1? same limited scope as the previous basic KT, just with new rules that diverge from 40k
elfin yew
Yeah it seems like it
The new rules are nice but its losing alot of model variety that even vanilla KT had for some factions
Like, even not considering Commanders and Elites
edgy cipher
Actually the GSC don't get to field abherrants anymore in the new KT
dusk hill
so long as i get to keep my recon drones
edgy cipher
Lmao they badly cropped the IG miniature
elfin yew
Bin of destruction
elfin yew
LUl
edgy cipher
So like all orks
elfin yew
The last big thing Im interested in learning abt new kt is
The faction rules
So orders, FTGG, battle focus, ambush, etc
How they translate to KT if at all
dusk hill
yeah same. I might make a new tau KT purely for this if it turns out well
elfin yew
Inb4 we get move-shoot-move for battle focus
dusk hill
no
tiny cairn
I think we aren't gonna get like regiments or clan kultures
edgy cipher
We don't know yet
tiny cairn
At the very least
edgy cipher
Also I just checked Chica
tiny cairn
I said I think not I know
tiny cairn
Yeah that's why cause they have to have both
edgy cipher
Ugly
tiny cairn
They will piss everyone off if they shunt 1st born marines
edgy cipher
He is wearing that drip
elfin yew
His sneakers give him 3 apl
dusk hill
hamwarmer cum tho
edgy cipher
This one has probably 4 thanks to all his scopes
edgy cipher
They will piss everyone off if they shunt 1st born marines
Indeed but this means that, gameplay wise marines have access to the most units with the most customisation
So all the talks about making armies that you can expect is gone
edgy cipher
However I find it weird that they fused DW with marines
edgy cipher
the game has literally the name of a DW unit
Deathwatch
Oh also
GSC and guard lost their big boys
Yet marines can still field Gravis armor
😔
elfin yew
Aberrants yet again the stepchild of gw's relationship with cults
When they release you'll be able to only field 2 as your entire team to properly simulate their cost in 40k
royal compass
you keep saying they removed big guys and Elites because they aren't on the site
yet some of them appear in the gallery in the rule book
elfin yew
The site is p much all we have rn, could just be reused old kt pics
green cave
Checkmate... People?
royal compass
I think it's too early to make any asumptions
edgy cipher
I hope so
tiny cairn
It's never too early to make assumptions
edgy cipher
But it would be weird
elfin yew
If the site is just listing less models for some reason then thats good. Weird but better than the assumption
edgy cipher
Like the website is made to advertise your game
Why would you heavily limit the amount of things you put on it
elfin yew
So far all the CWE pics ive seen of it have only had dire avengers or guardians so
royal compass
it's not like the Praetorian was shown in a stock group shot either, they deliberately showed it on the Necrons page
royal compass
this image has made the rounds on the killteam subreddit since the announcement

I only use reddit for painted warhammer stuff 😔
void orchid
r/minipainting is pretty comfy
lapis tundra
Yee
void orchid
And there's one devoted to tabletop terrain too which is cool
People posting home made terrain items and stuff
lapis tundra
Tho (no offense) i kinda prefer minis painted up to a certain level
void orchid
There are some godlike submissions there that have blown me away
I remember someone did a leviathan dread that was trudging thru a muddy river or sth, one of the best uses of resin for water I've seen
It was like up to it's hips in depth so it looked super cool
lapis tundra
Man i love resin water
Also have you seen this lad?
Thought its a render or something
void orchid
That's awesome
void orchid
So much greenstuff too
The osl is legit
Reminds me of that perturabo that someone did
That was completely insane
lapis tundra
Yeah i loved that conversion

Especially his simple but effective kitbashes

void orchid
Looks like a combo of very smooth blends with good photography

Especially the red/yellow scheme
lapis tundra
Really adds a lot of different style to the stormcasts
vivid rune
@lapis tundra the new stormcast rules imply you can take freeguild CoS stuff
So i accented the shields to be a coat of arms
lapis tundra
Oh thats sweet
vivid rune
That then my freeguild will have that coat of arms scheme
Lots of yellow and red cloth with their big fuckoff banners
dusky mango
looks incredible
lapis tundra
Are you going to add some kind of emblem to it too?
vivid rune
I want to
verbal sapphire
Kino
vivid rune
But i will do transfers
lapis tundra
What u got in mind 👀
vivid rune
I dont trust myself with super fine stuff lol
lapis tundra
Same tbh
vivid rune
Not sure yet, is it possible to get custom transfers?
lapis tundra
As long as i still got red corsairs transfers i wont freehand them lmao
lapis tundra
Not sure yet, is it possible to get custom transfers?
Im 99% sure
There is probably some kind of site that offers something in that direction
Or you get a laser printer(?) yourself
vivid rune
Ill have to look into it
lapis tundra
But do you already have anything in mind for the emblem or..
lapis tundra
Understandable
vivid rune
Well see where this takes me
But that silver lightning bolt
Might inspire me to name this stormhost
Damn i wish i wasnt the only one here thats read Dominion
lapis tundra
In case you need some inspiration for the coat of arms, here is a book with some historical ones: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/25111
Starts at about page 71

I feel like I just had a like
rpg sleep level up moment
I shit u not, the reason Expert Crafters works so well I figured out in a dream
For some reason It wasn't clicking to me that "one reroll of shoot/fight+ a wound every time a unit shoots/fights" is amazing. Probably because I was only thinking about mass swarms of fire and not like, vehicles and starcannons and shit
edgy cipher
You forgot that big guns existed ?
elfin yew
IT IS
I kept seeing it on tierlists
trying to understand but my small smooth brain was having such a hard time
edgy cipher
But Proud
elfin yew
then I slept on a sugar rush and my brain expanded
edgy cipher
It means you're learning well
elfin yew
😳
edgy cipher
That you understood alone why it works so well
edgy cipher
Like it took me 2 months to understand why having a demo cannon instead of battle one was so good
Same with guard
It's just that middle 8th edition bonuses are inline with the general powercreep
median pumice
That look is super clean @vivid rune . Beautiful work!
What is it about square ended swords that... just... is so awesome to me? Not my painting but I wanted to share.
elfin yew
Executioner swords do be p thicc
void orchid
It's cuz chopping is cooler than stabbing
elfin yew
Extra long base

@edgy cipher before I pass out
I wasnt sure what size game u wanted to play
So I just made a 2k pt CWE list
Im unsure when I'll be able to play since I have to work this weekend ans might be gone until like, wednesday after that? But idk
I sleep

I really like the realistic looking dirt/mud on the base
trim hemlock
That is is some fine looking mud, shame the glass couldn't be clearer but it does give it a foggy feel
edgy cipher
I wasnt sure what size game u wanted to play
Just message me when youre good ill try to look on my side how to install the mods and create the army when I got some time

@elfin yew Pain of an IG army in TTS
sour hill
Same with table top
Opponent has already fully deployed their forces.
You're still setting your 13th Manticore.
edgy cipher
I share that feeling
And so does my friend that has to watch me set up my army every time lmao
void orchid
'Cmonnmn can we just PLAY already'
edgy cipher
"You already fielding atleast 80 guardsmen you done yet ?"
"I got 20 more to field , 20 in reserve and 7 tanks"
edgy cipher
It's ttp sim so it takes 3 seconds lmao
Hey, its a part of psychological warfare like any other
Make your enemy bored, he'll play more recklessly
void orchid
Enemy bored: sweep the enemy board
royal compass
Make your enemy bored, he'll play more recklessly
actually part of Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings: always arrive late to your duels, the opponent will be angry and more prone to mistakes
edgy cipher
I'm not surprised its a common tactic
trim hemlock
Well, all my models have finally arrived at my new place. Only casualty is the gothizzar harvester losing an arm but that's easily fixed so I'm calling it a win.
void orchid
At least he kept his pelvis buddy attached
Moving day is definitely more scary now that I've got minis haha
elfin yew
<@!85187260667940864> Pain of an IG army in TTS
How it is with cults too 
Also I rlly love how the person who made one of the eldar collections
Used custom models which are better than the actual ones
edgy cipher
Doesn't cult have most of their units hidden behind the blips ?
elfin yew
Nice
I'm going to setup my actual tts thing now
I'm unsure if we'll actually be able to play today since I still have to work until tonight, and I doubt our timezones will align dsfhnds
trim hemlock
Moving day is definitely more scary now that I've got minis haha
Tell me about it, I magnetized everything and then filled the cases with shredded paper for cushioning. Still felt my heart stop when I saw the movers put that box on it's side.
Still kinda surprised my ophydian destroyers survived.
void orchid
Oh man I would have fucking raged
Good call with the shredded paper, I bet that helped keep the magnetized minis from sliding around
edgy cipher
I'm unsure if we'll actually be able to play today since I still have to work un...
Can be during the weekend if you want
edgy cipher
GMT +2
elfin yew
Ayt well, I should be able to play at like.. 4pm ur time?
elfin yew
P much I can do either that night for me, or like super early which I doubt you want to wake up at 7am to play warhammer
edgy cipher
elfin yew
edgy cipher
Good hour for me
void orchid
Early morning weekend cartoons turn into early morning weekend wargaming
edgy cipher
I have pulled le fish au chocolat type of army, it should be interesting
elfin yew
void orchid
Le what??
elfin yew
I've mostly just built the aspect rainbow
I think I'm only missing crimson hunters, shadow spectres, and uhh
I think I have everything else
edgy cipher
So I know which one to burn down first
elfin yew
It's sad because scorpions are p cool but their actual like, board use is outclassed by warp spiders I think
edgy cipher
I remember them being the only eldar back in 4th edition having a 3+ save
Back when AP was very weird
So you'd do 95% of your saves on a 2+
elfin yew
Protecc Value
edgy cipher
However my army is still balanced
elfin yew
Yeee, I didn't really try to do a super gimmick or something, tho I considered it
One of the lists I scrapped up just had warlock conclaves as HQ's
elfin yew
powerful
edgy cipher
But I'd need to get in range for that
This is going to be weird, you're first opponent I'll fight that will also have mainly t3
edgy cipher
I never fought CWE before
Harlequins and Drukh (before 9th codex)
But not CWE
Not in 9th
elfin yew
oo
more KT datasheets
Reading more into it
Dire Avengers can overwatch on a 3+
ALSO just noticed that the frag grenade has a Blast 3" rule
Potential actual like, AoEs on grenades and stuff
And flamers aren't autohits either, it seems? 2+ B/S
edgy cipher
Gunbutt
hoary ermine
Every weapon has BS @elfin yew
elfin yew
Probably the case, tho there's nothing saying it autohits
Like is the case with regular 40k
my guess is that it's a line sort of effect con sidering 'stream'
er torrent
edgy cipher
Well seeing how Those flamers seem to be pretty devastating, having a chance to fail the attack is ok
Because it seems to have a big range
elfin yew
It is interesting that every weapon has a listed BS/WS now instead of being for the model
edgy cipher
very interesting indeed
Would be a great way to balance stronger weapons
Like you have an elite army, yet are you going to use this reliable weapon that hits on 2-3s or are you willing to try and use that 4+ weapon that will definitly heavily injure or kill an enemy
Instead of going, hurdurdur plasma spam
shell zinc
is it possible to use rock salt as basing material? besides dissolving in contact with water I don't see any downsides.
dusk hill
it dissolves in moisture so idk yeah, i'd probs not
hoary ermine
@shell zinc youpretty much cant
Most paints have a moisture based component in them except for oil and even oil is a wet substance

Ethically sourced free range skulls. When store bought wont do.
