It looks like a movie monster designed to almost--but not quite--kill the protagonist that's hiding under the car/bed/rock outcropping. As an aside, an action movie MC with WS=X and A=X/2, where X is the number of enemy models within, say, 6", could be really cool.

Paying FW prices for a fixer-upper is pretty undesirable though VVVV I hope you're right, but usually that's more common with painted models

Watch us talk poo poo, and this just be an unflattering angle on a model with good, enjoyable rules. E: Just realized those legs look like they are from the older hive tyrant model with the big rear end head. With that chest-maw and a giant tongue in it, why would it ever need to bend down. It's the best part so far. Hencoe fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jul 16, 2014 |

Played against a super repairing Stompa with some pain boy biker support last night with my rhino rush/imp knight/stormtalons list. The Stompa has guns like woah but it had to spend a ton of time shooting my rhinos and little 5 man squads while my knight and chapter master dismantled the biker squads and airplanes mowed down the Gretchen that walked on the board. Game was truly over when my 1HP knight charged the Stompa, put a few hullpoints into it, got explodedon the stompa's swings back, scattered onto the stompa and did 11 hullpoints to the thing in the explosion, which caused the stompa to blow and clear out the dudes my chapter master was caught up with on turn 4. Turn 5 I shoot with hovering airplanes and charge whatever was left in the stompa (some gretchen and lootas with his big mek) with the chapter master for the table. Stompas are pretty rad and I'm thankful I had the knight to ace it out. I don't know if the repairing trick is the way to go since I think it probably needs more support. Painboy in bike squads was a pretty cool idea. Pretty hard to double them out with shooting unless you have a manticore or something.

I can't decide what the worst part of that model is; the spindly legs, the stupid face, the dumb hat, there's just so much to choose from!

I think it's the fact that it's lower torso is thinner than the upper torso, that makes anything look weird. That and it's wearing a Fedora.

I wasn't expecting a competitive review of a super repairing stompa to be so positive. So even against a solid list it wasn't utter jank? Did it use a KFF mek for repairs and a shield + the riggers for IWND?

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:have you ever even seen a loving fedora Don't be mad because we're making fun of something you've already ordered four of. On a more serious note it's got some cool ideas behind it like the chest maw and the tentacles that come out of the hands, almost like it's something that evolved after the fleet ate too many Emperor's Children, but the spindly legs and stupid hat ruin it for me.

I like the open chest but the lower part of the body looking smaller makes it look weird. Maybe its just the angle on the picture. Also that new Knight or whatever is loving bad rear end.

Being so tall the drat thing can't even use its ridiculous talon-claw-things properly against infantry. It would have to resort to punt-kicking things with its dainty hooves. True. Did Forgeworld move to a Right To Work state? "You sculpted a Tyranid with those idiotic twin claws? lol, yer fired."

). I can't wait for it to have S6-7 and a ton of wounds with no decent save and no D-strength anything, having to resort to single Smash attacks which it will miss 1/2 the time because it will be WS3 for no goddamn reason--another glorious Apocalypse-level Tyranid model design. The thing is a Liefeld-level failure visually. And I LIKE Tyranids.

WhiteWolf123 posted:I wasn't expecting a competitive review of a super repairing stompa to be so positive. So even against a solid list it wasn't utter jank? It had the KFF and some meks via lootas, some gretchen inside (just hidden scoring basically). I don't think it had IWND. He said he had a ton of repair rerolls though ~something~ and at least one of his rolls was looking for a 3+. Honestly it was so durable that I knew going after it would be a waste unless I could one shot it so I just played it like any other deathstar, kill the support and stand on objectives. It's shooting is super dangerous though and if I felt I had a chance at killing it over the game I would have been tempted to try to burn it down instead of blowing though the support.

Just won a auction for a army with 3 Soul Grinders for 70 bucks. Plus a bunch Khorne dudes and other Daemons.  Best win yet on Wheel of Ebay. Also my current favorite Warhammer 40k poo poo that Didn't happen quote:I might be "that guy" to be honest I tend to be aggressive and if I think a rule is being done wrong, regardless of who it benefits, I will look it up.

A true ham would know that breaking an opponent's models would cause more damage to them than mere punches. But yeah, that story's totally about Magic or something. So replace models with cards and the same thing would apply.

Whether you can use a card board cut out of a Ork Dreadnought is a hot topic of debate. And yes I know it's not about 40k but it was posted somewhere in relation to it. I am literally mentally ill. quote:
Just gonna break some of your poo poo quote:I had a friend (a female one) who, for whatever reason liked going to GW, there was a rather creepy guy who kept hitting on her so I "mistakingly" broke a few of his models. It's not quiet as good as the female gamers thread but like a close 4th or 5th.

If anyone's interested in giving some feedback for the next campaign we're running, I'm going to post it here. ICT Fall Campaign  It's still pretty rough and I'm still fluffing it up and changing things daily. The stuff highlighted in yellow are recent changes and additions. We have 12 players right now, which may expand due to the renewed interest in 40k at our local store. I'm not sure which armies some people will be playing, but we will have at least one army of all the factions for sure. Unlike the last campaign (which I wrote rules for, which were then eviscerated and rewritten by another player in the group) this campaign will be all under my control. The goal of the campaign is to help everyone gear up for more Apocalypse level games (which is why we're including Lords of War, Formations and Fortifications). Anyway, if you have time, poke around and shoot me some feedback either here or privately.

Honestly the only FW tyranid thing I like at all is the ripper base. I think the hierophant looks ridiculous and the hierodule doesn't really capture the tyranid aesthetic.
