Ignore this man, waste of our time.

Yep, I don't get enough time as it is to even consider burnout! :(

Love the oversized yet Imperial Missile Launchers, great stuff Aventine

Glad your back! Look forward to more 40K goodness, esp if you get the Tyranid codex.

They could be Angels of Absolution, not necessarily Dark Angels, but a successor Chapter.

So his photo editing skills are not perfect... still a great mini - that's why we are here, not for photo editing. Jeez, give the goat a break. Good job Goatboy, nice Chaos-y feel, rather Magnus the Red-like with those horns.

Awesome!

Re: Zen 40,000: Tau scheme thought...

Siph — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:09:28 -0000

More militaristic and camouflaged than standard Tau schemes, i love it, however, its the fact that its faux camouflage that brings alive minis on the table? Maybe add a brighter accent colour to the armour panels?

Re: Imperius Dominatus: Limited edition codices - worth it or just a money grab?

Siph — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:07:10 -0000

Its only a money grab if you HAD to buy it to play your army, the fact that Tau players and hobbiests CHOOSE to buy it over the less shiney standard codex negates the argument that it is a money grab imho.

But you get Memph, Sang Guard, Blood Talon Dreads and FNP Sang Priests... many a time my Vanilla SM die because they just don't have cheap uber units or enough dakka. I love the idea of a Storm Raven for all SMs and unlike most, loved the model - now I can paint one up in Relictor colours. Feel free to rant, but I am glad I can now field this. ;)

I got one of the pre-FW pewter Limited Edn T-Hawks in the funky wooden packing crate - smaller than a FW one but weighs a huge amount!

If you did go Allies, use Vanilla SM and get StormTalon. Paint all black as Ravenwing. HQ bike Capt character, therefore Troop choice on Bikes? Or lump it with a Nephilim Fighter for true DA:RW... just accept you can't be great at everything?

Re: Imperius Dominatus: Chaos Daemon codex review: heavy support

Siph — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:46:12 -0000

I'm sure the Burning Chariot will get a FAQ as its whole purpose is a moving chariot of flaming death with its S9 x3 shots, the WD article was run this way mentioning threatening Landraiders etc.

I'll vouch for the Armoured Drop Pod doors, great stuff. Heated in hot water and held to door for flush fit. May need to remove the underlying plastic door rivets tho, the kit comes with indents to accommodate them but casting imperfections on underside meant removing the 10 rivets that lie under the resin bit was an easier method and better to get a flush fit.

And it will contain rules for the vanilla StormRaven with 'StormStrike' missiles. Not Bloodstrike or Mindstrike for vanilla marines.

Siph — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 18:38:25 -0000

Great stuff, I have two FW Warhounds (and a Reaver) and they take pride of place in the display cabinet but I feel an equally large Legio Astorum sized hole in my wallet!! If I had the patience and plasticard skills this is the way forward!

That icon looks very Nurgle but I know it isn't tho... maybe a Chaos Titan in the making too...

Awesome goo. Horrible sickly green sticky goo. Nice crazy look to this army, very colourful and characterful too. Nice job

Re: Imperius Dominatus: FOR SALE: Three Soul Grinders

Siph — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 07:31:49 -0000

They would make a lovely start to another project, however I must pass and be sensible and do my Necrons first before Chaos tempts me. Good luck in the sale! I'll message my fellow Lord Halfpenny and see if he wants - he has a massive Daemon army, what's 6 Soul Grinders, hey, a great Apoc formation that's what!!

Good stuff, love the conversion, the legs can be bulked out with a little green stuff work. Love your Conversion Beamer. My MotF is on a bike, I opted for a Rogue Trader Techmarine riding a converted Attack Bike with a Rogue Trader Conversion Beamer in the sidecar - maximises the 72" St10 range bracket for the Blast if you can keep him more mobile than the target, and gives him a T5 too.

Rule of cool definitely with the Neph Fighter, I want DA Allies just to field this 'meh' fighter, but oh my, the model is uber cool. And I'd agree again about the MegaBolter, rule of cool too - but volume of fire is best against the Daemons i am always fighting at my mates.

Yawn... 40K please?!! Leave the Politics out of Wargaming. I thought this was a Wargaming website... silly Brit.

Re: Imperius Dominatus: That funky FAQ question...

Siph — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:27:13 -0000

Everyone else's flyers will have to leave the table at some point, or move and not be able to fire due to arcs of fire, however staying put means it can be shot at. I agree with the turret thing, it is a daemonic flyer dragon thingy, it can bend its neck etc, unlike conventional aircraft - but is this FAQ improvement taken into account with its points cost? Nope. Same as before - i predict a few more Heldrake sales.

As for the first point, it seems clear to me however I'm a little sad that tournament play encourages WAAC RAW attitudes. It is obvious (to me) your gun of 24in range cannot go on to hit targets outside the Max Effective Range if all targets within 24in have been removed. (Just like real life guns and the laws of physics.. sort of, forgetting ricochets blah blah) If several different ranged guns hit the unit, wounds to the shortest range gun may have to be worked out first rather than lumping all the same Strength together etc. May only slow the game mechanics in a few cases, otherwise no change.

Re: Imperius Dominatus: death of close combat armies?

Siph — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:07:29 -0000

It does state that Template weapons give D3 auto hits in Overwatch instead of using the template itself. So against 5x Tz Flamers, that's between 5-15 auto hits (wound on a 4+) No Save... nasty Overwatch.

Siph — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:02:28 -0000

So far I've seen and been hurt by random charges (2in charge move!! - great Termies, great...) and been overwatched to death by 5xD3 Template auto death Chaos Flamers against my best Assault Marines... 6th Ed hurts Assault Marines bad - now against Flamers you need a combined assault with cheap cannonfodder first (maybe Guard Allies Blob) and real Assault troops second - something Marines lack on their own - no cheap throw away units.
