So how long do I have to wait if I want just the new rules and not the rehashed fluff books? Are we assuming the revised starter kit will come with a mini rulebook?

The word of the day is "summonstar" according to dakka. Dude's army is all Herald of Tzeentch and pink horror spam with three soulgrinders:

quote:

Total Cost = 1995

Total Power Dice = 39 + D6

Total Summon Daemon Spells = 15
Total Number of Times Heralds get to roll on chart = 27
Total Number of Times Pink Horrors Roll on Chart = 6

Number of Times you can cast a Level 3 Spell with 6 dice = 6 Times


Cursed Earth gives the Soulgrinders 4+ save, Tzeentch let's the reroll 1s.

Yeah that's my post. I play a lot of games on Vassal at work. I changed it though to having 4 Soul Grndrs once I figured out how to properly do FOCs. I was fun and fluffy but there's no real world way to play it without A. Designing or substituting your own daemons B. Spending more than 1000 dollars on the army to have access to all the Daemons. It's functionally limited by how much money you have.

Whatever. I like gaming and I loathe other people’s drama, and I find that mixed gaming groups tend to have way more drama than male-only groups and that drama tends to make gaming groups explode, which is why I’ve run so many unfinished campaigns. The drama really gets in the way of the gaming. In fact, I’ve been getting way more into wargaming and getting away from RPGs just because there’s so much less drama with the almost entirely male wargaming scene.

Everyone deserves to see this in its original glory. Way worse with the opening lines.

Terrible hobby, terrible people, etc.

Part of me wants to start my dream "eldar with modified dark eldar models" army with a shitload of psykers riding bikes, but then part of me likes money and hates this hobby. I just think a swooping hawks / warp spider / jetseer army would be fun as hell now.

Ha. But seriously, maneuver and positioning are how battles have been won throughout time. That's part of the reason why random movement irks so many. But a game where your units' combat effectiveness is a set value, but their ability to get into combat is dependent on a number of factors in and out of your control could be really neat. It'd be like Hams meets worker placement meets Backgammon.

This would be really cool, and it would be neat to see a game based around this. I've decided that the only time I like randomness in 40k is when models are dying in horrible ways (deep striking into a rock and getting instantly gibbed, whiffing all your attacks then getting murdered by guardsmen with bayonettes, etc.) Making regular movement random in 40k would be more slow and irksome than anything. I agree with you about the modifiers system being a superior way of introducing tactics to the movement phase.

e: Also, gently caress random psychic powers (except weirdboyz).

It is bizarre to me that people seem to totally forget about gravity when it comes to drawing or modeling breasts. Boobs aren't just cones that stick out horizontally and totally disobey the laws of physics.

The best part is how glaringly obvious said GW manager has never seen a pair of breasts in-the-flesh. Ironically enough, if he's the type of creepy nerd to convert tits on a model then he more than likely has a pair of chesticles of his own that he should be able to draw inspiration from.

I never got around to buying a 7th ed rulebook, but I feel this is likely due to the change to precision shots in 6th-->7th. RAW now it is the second, but everyone who isn't a scrunt would play the first way.

When I was using the vindicare, the debate in my group was whether it's shooting attacks were S 4d6 or S 3+4d6. Glad to see rules for what should be a simple unit are still messy.

I just don't understand how people argue these points. The old rule for turbo shot was clearly s3+4d6 as it was a sniper weapon which did 4d6 pen rather than the normal 1d6 pen.

I totally agree with you, but I played a few people at a GW store who were pretty adamant the other way. Hams being hams, I suppose.

These new rules kick butt. Time to dust off my old assassins / death cult assassins list and make it work again!

I've never bothered to hide the Warhams when I bring a girl to my apartment, and none have been repulsed by it and most think it's pretty cool that I paint them. That said, I'm not creepy or obsessive about it and don't think it gives me some "evolutionary advantage."
