Take a close look at this. Would you have any idea that it's a resin recast of a ghostkeel until you started snipping it apart? it's pretty amazing...

Once you do go over it closely, all the weird little errors pop out, like very thin surfaces and such, but it's still a pretty amazing copy of a plastic design. I have no idea which recaster it's from, as a friend gave it to me for use as a terrain piece or similar.

I bought a Wraithknight that was recast but sold as a genuine GW model, see my post history in this thread to see how I dealt with that. It wasn't until I tried gluing the parts with plastic glue, and looking closer at the parts, that I realized it was fake.

I've noticed they're too small for Raptor arms, but they seemed to work just fine for bolter arms on my CSMs. I haven't bought any of the new tacticals/devastators/assault marines in a long time though, so I can't vouch for those--you may be right.

So I'm probably going to a mini tournament where you bring 1000pts of friendly stuff for armies you've been painting lately. I'm considering bring the Ghosar Quintus formation along with an advanced Tyranid patrol of Deathleaper and two units of five Genestealers and a Broodlord, one Broodlord has Toxins Sacs (for the extra 10pts).

I'm assuming that the Deathleaper and Genestealers tax is enough to make this fluffy and "friendly" but I wanted to make sure.

So I had already painted up one Forgefiend a while back, but I had another sitting around that I wasn't sure what to do with, plus an unpainted Warpsmith when lo and behold the new Black Legion supplement came out with the Daemon Engine Pack formation (2 mauler/forgefiends + a warpsmith), and it was good enough to cause me to paint these guys up. I also added some missing armor plates onto my 3 plasma Forgefiend, just to shore them up. The autocannons and head on the right forgefiend are magnetized, should I want to swap out his weapons at some point. I think the formation generally works better with forgefiends though, where giving the autocannon fiend BS5 every turn is a huge boost.

Those forgefiends looks awesome, as does the warpsmith. You will have to let us know how the formation holds up.

Not expecting anything from this, but on the off chance...

Any goons have some unused Void Dragons transfers from the Forge World Eldar Corsair transfer sheet they'd be willing to part with? I'm specifically looking for the size that would do well on the canopy of a jetbike.

Don't buy the battleforce, make a jetbike list. Get lots of Eldar Windrider kits and as many Eldar Farseer Skyrunners (the kit also makes a Warlock Skyrunner) as you need. You'll want at least one Farseer for your HQ and a Warlock for every Windrider unit. I'd start with three units of Windriders, which would be ten boxes. I'd look on ebay because they're a lot cheaper online.

Thanks for the info! That's a bit expensive in terms of dollars per point, but it definitely sounds like the best way to field and utilise plenty of Warlocks.

I'm not so sure.

The landing-gear-turret poo poo is changed, fine. The canopy replaced with a solid piece, ok. Sensors and canards cover the mount points for the weapons on the Storm Talon.

The problem is that the vertical stab is half the size and that is part of the big body clamshell. It lookes entirely new to me.

EDIT: ignore me. The stab is the same.

They also used both missile pods from the kit and jammed one set around the engines. I think it looks kinda cool though, I really like the armored cockpit. The Ork one is Deff Skwadron as gently caress.

I get that they wanted to make the Stormtalon a dual kit, but this is what they come up with? Jesus Christ. This is some dialed-in, lazy poo poo modelling right here. Looks like it has a storm cannon - The Stalker's storm cannon array is 48", S7, AP4, Heavy 4 but it has two cannons so I'd suspect that the single one is Heavy 2. Twin-linked assault cannon and some sort of stupid-poo poo missiles round out the package.

Looks like it's packing 2 Kustom Mega Kannons & a Smasha Gun lol j/k they're not Kannons, just BS2 Blastas, & all 3 weapons have Gets Hot! Plus, the Kustom Force Field is 75 points for a 5+ invuln on an AV10 flyer but no bubble to cover other models and that's 215 points naked with a quarter of the options of the Marine flyer. To make an attack, roll on a random table with a 1/6 chance to lose the model to suicide.

I'm already drafting new rules for it in my head for the 7th Ed. Ork Codex Update. I haven't hosed around with any formations yet, but have fixed all three superheavies, done costs, added weapons, & updated the core rules on the BattleScribe catalogue. Just a few more tweaks & it'll be good to go for an alpha release.

Design input question: should Boyz just be naturally S4, & replace Furious Charge with Hammer of Wrath? Nobz could keep it to maintain balance. S3 sort of flies in the face of all the lore, given that according to it, I could personally arm-wrestle a Boy to a standstill, just like Guardsmen & Eldar. I imagine this would not make a significant change, especially since if Boyz are the ones getting charged, they're already boned for going last.

E: Well I'll be zogged, it's 2 KMKs & a Smasha Gun that descriptions seem to indicate acts like a mini Lifta-Droppa.

Have them start at S3 per standard, but add in for every game turn that a unit is involved in combat it adds +1S until that combat resolves.
