The battle report mentioned Warriors fleeting and the possibility of ravenors being synapse creatures.

Re: 40K DEEP THOUGHT: What does the Game NEED?

Bobx66 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:50:18 -0000

I've always been confused about the rules for BS7+ being in the rulebook as there is only 1 (as far as I know) model with BS7. I kind of assumed this was meant for the Dark Eldar.

Going off that assumption I'd really like to see an entire army that will always hit. Wounding and AP aside I would love to see the Dark Eldar be an extremely elite glass cannon army. Every shot fired is a guaranteed hit, BS 5 and above. Give the infantry high volume weapons with low AP, and cost prohibitive anti tank.

Thats all I really have. I'd like to see a breath of fresh air blown into this game but I don't even know where to start. But why innovate when you can put more 3+ saves on the table?

At this rate they will update the WH and DH codex before FW releases an updated krieg siege list. 8 points a model in a list that is supposed to be the ultimate horde is just not going to cut it anymore.

Tell me you got something other than one of those trophies, granted you already probably got an army out of this series but what was the grand prize?

Very happy to see the Manticore in the top 3. I will assemble mine this week. I knew it was an effective unit.

Re: 40K TACTICA: Pinning 101

I am going to be running a full Psychic Quire with 4 guards and 5 Barbed Stranglers on my carnifexs. 2 of which will be twin linked. I would have linked a bit more tactica on actually pinning, as in what needs to be pinned, how to use it to block enemy movement, best uses against MEQ, etc.

What band of paint are you feeding through your airbrush. And what is the dillution ratio you use? Do you build up the color through multiple base coats? Are you airbrushing in long horizontal motions or is it a circular buildup?

How did this end up in here. Wow.

Re: EVENT: Grand Openings, GW Hobby Centers

I just put together an imaginary Ard Boyz list

It had 15 tanks, 7 command squads with whatever weapon combos I want, and 100 gaurdsmen

Hahahahaha.

Re: 40k NEWS: Imperial Guard Summary Leak

Bobx66 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:07:22 -0000

I think that everyone here is focusing on Punisher, when the true threat is the Eradicator. The eradicator with 9 HB and 4 Heavy Stubber shots will probably become a staple of all guard players in the near futureI think that the Executioner is a nice set of new rules that will probably net the same amount of wounds, probably no plasna sponsons.

Either way, Score one for the treadheads.

Re: Goatboy's 40k Thoughts: Metagame?

Bobx66 — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:15:08 -0000

Let me ask you. What are you going to bring to a tournament in June when you'll be sure to see a mechanized guard list with at least 12 tanks and on the other hand you'll see 200 orks.

How do you deal with that.

I love how big the green stuff versions are. I really would like to know what their design process is, concept art to sprue.

Oh my, I wasn't interested in these until i saw the picture of 5 of them in formation. Damn.

Re: Tears of 40k Joy: Jwolf Reacts to IG Rumors

Bobx66 — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 09:25:15 -0000

I think an Eradicatior with 3 heavy bolters will make it into all of my lists. I feel like people are over-reacting or misunderstanding the way the lumbering rule is written in this wishlist. I feel like it is very possible that you get to fire all weapons but the ordnance rule will still over-ride it. Every single one of the new LRs are HEAVY and not ORDNANCE, therefore you'll be able to move and fire all weapons on an eradicatior but on a leman russ you'll have to choose between bolters or battle cannon.

I think that every single army should be very afraid. How are you going to make a list for a tournament that can handle both 200 orks and 12 Guard tanks in the same tournament?

I'm glad I will not be on the receiving end of my armored company.

Re: 40K RUMORS: Imperial Guard Vehicle Details

Bobx66 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:22:11 -0000

I think that Leman Russes will never be scoring but you will be able to put together fully mechanized lists. And for cheap. I'm talking like 7 chimeras filled with armored fist or veteran equivalents plus the command squad, 3 russ variants, and two artillery variants at 1750 points. The day of the Armored Company are here and I predict it will be a very competitive list.

Bobx66 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:04:48 -0000

The Eradicator looks like the Conqueror except with a large blast template and S6 instead of 7. If the 'Lumbering' style rule is true then there are going to be some serious heroes of the variants, specifically the Eradicator and Exterminator.

Re: NEWS: British Pound Sterling in Freefall

Bobx66 — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:59:41 -0000

Ouch! I'm sorry to hear it.

By the way, I heard that Battle Bunkers and other GW stores are still using the 1 pound = 2 dollar currency conversion. I guess you pay a slight premium for being able to hold it in your hands the day it gets put out, but it is probably more closely related to inventory issues at the storefront locations.

I'm doing my part!

IA-DKK-I-030 DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG - INFANTRY SQUADS FOR GORGON 1
£47.00 £47.00
IA-DKK-A-001 DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG WEAPONS SET 1
£11.75 £11.75
IA-GUA-T-036 MARS ALPHA PATTERN LEMAN RUSS CONVERSION KIT 1
£13.70 £13.70

120 days ago that would have been 150 dollars. Today I got it for 100. Hell ya!

Also for those of you who think that by people spending money on England's exports, you are completely 100% wrong. Either way GW gets the pounds for selling resin items that costs pennies to make, except now they are getting a higher order volume than they would be because everyone's purchasing power has gone up.

I had a 53 dollar order priced out yesterday, its now 51.92. However I'm digging the deflated pound.

A golden age is coming for the armored company. And its going to be provided for in the codex. The Arizona Chaos metagame will be crushed under my battle cannons.

Re: RUMORS: IG Rumblings - Part 2

Bobx66 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:14:53 -0000

4 point guard and 65 point chimeras would mean you could easily fit 5 armored fist type units, a chimera mounted command squad, 2 basilisks and 3 leman russes at 1500 points. Do the math.
