And as the old thread dies in a cataclysmic fury, a new one shall rise and gaze upon the universe. I haven't had the chance to talk about the edition changes with my friends yet, I imagine it won't be all that much different seeing as I'm practically the only one using psykers at the local meta. I've been painting more of my  TYRANIDS as well, I'll post some pictures when I'm done for the day!

I totally called it:Soulfucker posted:I'm imagining a terrible goon project aiming to re-imagine the rules of Warhammer 40k. That being said, while I'm certainly not going to try and redesign the game by myself, I'll happily look at a genuine attempt to rewrite some fun rules. Maybe. I did play with the 2nd Edition Battle Bible rules once with one of my long time friends and some of those battles we had were the most fun I've ever had with the hobby, despite being absolutely chaotic!

I agree with the sentiment that 6th is the most polished edition GW has made yet (haven't had the chance to play 7th yet), but on a personal level I loved the poo poo out of the batshit crazy situations you ended up with thanks to the 2nd edition ruleset - especially the vehicle rules!

at how complicated it made a lot of the stuff seem. Maybe that's just because I had to scroll through it as a PDF rather than having it as a bound book, but that's one reason I hope this experiment can produce something that's as lightweight as possible and fits on top of the 6E/7E rules, rather than trying reinvent them.

That model looks weird. Luckily, it's still very much possible to have fun with regular Tyranid models these days: Incoming picture dump  Tyranids versus World Eaters - mission rolled was Emperor's Will but who cares watch models get STUCK IN:  Chaos Lord on Juggernaut in a Challenge with a Devourer Tyrant - both ended up murdering each other simultaneously   3 Carnifexes reaching a Berserker blob with a charge - it did not end well for the traitors    <- this guy is hosedIn the end, it was a decisive 5 - 1 victory for the bugs when my buddy called the game at the end of the 5th turn - but playing a game with so much action going on in the assault phase was really fun for both of us!

In my experience a terrible list can still do well provided you're blessed with a gaming circle that loves that kind of list-building! I've been playing melee-centric Tyranids lately and it's been going remarkably well for some stupid reason, probably because the people I'm playing with have as terrible if not worse lists. My proof is this extremely blurry cellphone camera of a Carnifex Brood successfully reaching an infantry platoon which somehow couldn't stop them despite being backed up by a Basilisk battery and a Leman Russ:  tl;dr Never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams.

Painted up a Praetor counts-as Chapter Master as a birthday gift for my brother: I'm terrible at photos, but pretty happy at how it has turned out so far regardless.  edit: JerryLee posted:That's pretty awesome indeed. The only caveat I would mention is that the Tyranid parts are way too close in hue to the armor color. Thanks! I agree about the hue issue, but that's the scheme I use for my Tyranids so it can't be helped

Some nice games you've got there, BC & SRM! I played two games yesterday, the first pitted my Tyranids against a Sororitas list and the other was a rematch against my Khornate Space Marine buddy. Unfortunately I only have one picture of the second game, but rest assured knowing there was a continuous assault from turn 1 onward:

e;fb: It has a "Instinctive Fire" special rule so that's probably what dictates how many weapons it can fire and at what target(s). It's neat that they are adding Spore Pod rules for Tyranids again, even though it will probably be overcosted. edit: VVV I was thinking about my wallet.

Adding more extremely blurry phone shots of the Tyranids I've been working on the past couple of days since it seems topical:  Genestealer and Ravener broods. Someone earlier in the thread said they were boring to paint, I have no idea what they are talking about.  I took off the Devourer arms from this Tyrant in order to give it Crushing Claws instead, so it can look cool leading my two broods of Carnifexes. No regrets.  Finally I've been working on some objective markers for 7th edition games. Text on flag reads "MOBILE INFANTRY". This post might have been more suited for the painting thread but I only post 40k-related stuff in here anyway v vMango Polo posted:On the other hands, broods of them do look loving cool. Sure do!

Doesn't look like the book has a formation I'd be interested in, since I don't run any Gargoyles. Well, too bad, then I don't have to buy it I guess Had another game today against my World Eaters buddy, pictures courtesy of him: Chaos Deployment and closeup:   Tyranids after turn 1 and closeup:   Midgame, everything is a huge clusterfuck:  Heldrake doing its thing, Carnifexes moments before wrecking a Defiler:   Game ended when the swarm outlasted the Chaos Marines after several sustained rounds of combat and controlled both objectives. It was pretty fun! Soulfucker fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Nov 19, 2014 |

Out of curiosity, does anyone in this thread who owns a Hierophant mind sharing information about assembling/transporting one? I've considered getting one next year because clearly I do not have enough plastic space bugs. I'd love to see some pictures of one on the table, since I haven't been able to find a lot of good ones through image search.

My FLGS hosted their largest 40k Duals tournament yet with 16 teams; me and most of my gaming circle ended up participating and I had lots of fun despite not being a competitively minded player at all! I took my Eldar out for a spin together with my buddy's Chaos Space Marines and we ended up in 4th place, the winner was a guy bringing in his Dark Eldar who apparently played really well. Anyway, have some pictures: Our team Khaine and Khorne, True Love:   Warp Spiders and Cultists ambushing a group of outflanking Kroots:  Distortion Cannon battery taking a hill so they can nuke some more Orks:  The infamous Juggernaut Chaos Lord with the Axe of gently caress Everything takes on a menacing Warboss in the third game:  The Ork did not win this daySome Sisters of Battle trapped by advancing Tyranids:  More pictures found here.

My personal interpretation is that the Laser Lock rule was never meant to affect the shield burst of the Wave Serpent (I don't run Scatter Lasers on mine, since Star Cannons are baller) but GW's rules writing being what it is, what can you do? Like, why does a TL Scatter Laser on the Wave Serpent cost 5 points, but a non-TL Scatter Laser on my Falcon is 15?

If you clarify what stuff your models have before it might become an issue (before the game or during deployment for example) there shouldn't really be any problems of that sort ever.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:My favorite were the ones simulating the Starcraft missions where you have to hold out for 20 mins. Defender sets up in the middle of the table while the attacker gets to deploy from all four edges. Defender gets an extra 500 points but anything the attacker loses gets redeployed the following turn. I have to try setting up something like this, at least I've got enough models for it:  Game Setup.  Bug deployment (I rolled the Warlord Trait that lets you infiltrate 3 non-vehicle units).  FIGHTS  RAWR  Two blobs duking it out for control of an objective  Tyrant with Carnifex backup engages the opposing Warboss and Nob Squad (everything died) In the end the Nids won with 8 to 6 VPs.
