Apoc supplements that go over specific battles by forces. Supplements that define a specific army at a specific time. Unbound armies. The future just got historical.

So Germ just pointed out to me that the Aegis line is gone from this book, which means that if you want one you have to get it from the Stronghold book which is…eh... not exactly the best-written collection of clean rules in the universe. For example, there's now technically no limit to the number of quad guns you can buy for one.

My only 40k buddy at the moment is thinking of getting the 7th edition rule book. We're still sort of learning 6th edition, does anyone think switching to 7th would mess us up too much?

Unless I miss something, you can only take one battlement & battlefield upgrade per fortification (see page 18), so no you can't take unlimited quad guns. Stronghold Assault works really well IMO.

Your night lords are amazing. As a tribute, here's the only one I've painted to date. The picture is one I had lying around from before I bothered to properly set up my model pics, sorry. My DV librarian is in there as a bonus. I painted both of these about a year and a half ago now.

quote:If a template weapon hits a building's Fire Point or an Open-Topped vehicle and there is a unit embarked inside that building or vehicle, then in addition to any other effects that unit suffers D6 hits, resolved at the Strength and AP of the weapon. These hits are Randomly Allocated.  Rulebook Heavily posted:You can try to deny ANY power, it's just when it happens against your units that you get potential bonuses. So, basically just roll and hope for sixes. But to make a test you need to "select one of your units that was a target of the enemy's psychic power." If your units are not being targeted by the power you can't make the roll. Only way I can see Denying a Conjuration is to have a Psychic Hood within 12" of the summoned unit and argue that as the summoned unit is the target of the power you can then stand in their stead and try to Deny it, like you would if you were within 12" of an enemy unit receiving a Blessing. e: Even then it's not clear. "is targeted by an enemy psychic power" An enemy of who? The psyker wearing the hood or the unit being targeted? adamantium|wang fucked around with this message at 04:12 on May 24, 2014 |

Nah, look closer down the same page. It's a little obscure but "If none of your units were the target of the enemy's psychic power... you can still attempt to deny the witch." The only difference is that you can't apply modifiers to the dice rolls. (And you can attempt to deny anything, from blessings to conjurations.) I'm not really sure why they list that as an exception to the weirdly specific general rule of "you have to choose a unit to deny" but there it is.

Yeah, why specify you need to have a unit affected then go on to remove that requirement? It would have made more sense to say "You can always attempt to Deny the Witch, however if the target of the psychic power is a friendly unit you make claim the following bonuses to your roll:" etc.

SPeaking of which more people here need to play Vassal. Of course you have to kind of "break" vassal 6th to play 40k 7th.

Yeah one game I summoned cast Incursion 5 times, and Possession 4 times, then the Sacrifice 4 times. That would have by itself cost like probably greater than $500 dollars. Vassals hard to do it on though, you have to basically "break" it kind of. It's fun though, but it's never getting a 7th edition update which is sad .
