When I had pre-ordered it I had thought it was an update along with a compiling of all the extra stuff they created. But I have yet to compare it looking for differences. -d

just got my pre-ordered "Refueled" book on saturday ... no time to review it yet. -d

I used Ubuntu on my old mac laptop for a bit - it seemed stable and smooth enough. I later switched it to Mint Linux - which seems to be snappy and stable on my old powerbook. I used it as my main computer in my hobby zone. Really, linux is well supported - lots of tools and help and a ton of help online. Just be sure to check the build options when downloading ... so it fits the hardware stats your installing it on. Document all your special bits on your workstation - so you can track down drivers (or just make sure someone has made drivers for it in linux). Just my two cents... I'm far from a power user - just want things to work lol -d

If anyone missed it... here is a link to my last blog post with photos from this army. I had lots of fun with the list, but I realize I need way more than 5 great games to get the hang of playing it. I look forward to playing this list (with slight variations) over the next year and bringing a close version of it to next years OFCC (possibly) My Blog Post - army in pictures -d

that makes the most sense really - you have 2 different detachments - no reason to over complicate the matter. -d

I am looking into getting these new rules - We are planning another Black Friday Apoc game (November 29th) at Fate and Fury Games in Vancouver, WA. We are just starting to realize that maybe we should use these new rules lol. -d

Thanks for your points LH - I know that ITC play isn't something I do. I typically look for the "ITC" when I see an event promoted... and avoid it without a second thought.

I just listened to this the other day ... and I can see the difference in the ITC and the "book play". I'm like the podcasters in that I like my games and armies a bit more "narrative" or as i like to think of it "fluffy". I'm not the kinda player for ITC - I am well aware of my tastes. Hence, I have avoided ITC events since it's conception. Although, now that I have listened to the episode, I may at some point try some LGS event just to see how things go. But so far my favorite "way to play" in this edition is with the open war cards lol. -d

so these will be at OFCC for getting the tickets and in on the raffle? assuming on the ORDO Cohort / officiating table ... gathering place? - d

I'll be lucky to be done sometime next week - hopefully before friday lol

done already? ... <sigh> overachieving much?

anyone looking to pick stuff up at GenCon? 😁 -d

Really was getting things going well with my photon - but it crapped out about 2 weeks ago with a weird error. After support emails I am waiting for a new motherboard. The process was painless - but I have no idea when to expect the part lol. Can't wait to get back into it. -d

That works - I spent 2 CP to get the extra stuff. Now I am wondering if I need to roll at the start of each game to get those 2 CP back??? I went over my list line by line last night - to see what I need to finish building as well as just get a feel for the build. I am really happy with how things came out on this list. I feel like I have lots of options as well as a really clear set of play / general workflows. The army wants to move - constantly harassing... as well as get up close to deal out assaults. I feel like I have just enough targets to make my opponent have to make some hard choices early on about what to "kill" - allowing my other stuff to live long enough to get involved in things. I'm hoping to get the parts all together so I can start playing with this list soon. -d

ahhh - will try that today and see how that goes. Thanks. I'm hoping to nail down the detailed list so I can print it out with the -CP stuff added into the text. Just so I don't forget going into games lol.

hmmm I tried retooling this list in Battlescribe (to make the changes for the warlord power) ... but the app said that after I changed the Harlequins to Dreaming Shadow - and gave the death jester Curtainwall relic. Battle scribe stated that the harlequins were allowed 0 relics. So I switched the harlequins back to soaring spite. After reviewing the ynnari stratagems I should be able to hand out another warlord power and/or a ynnari relic. I'm thinking about the shroud for the warlord wraithseer just to make it extra hard to kill. meanwhile - I have begun conversions and building this army - so the army is kinda set now 🙂 -d

Thats my thinking as well on the 5+ CP regen... I just want to be sure I wasn't missing something. Soaring Spite is more of a place holder as anything at this point. It will not effect the list to change it. I figured I would fine tune particulars after some play testing. I will take a closer look at the relics and stratagems... I am sure I can come op with more options lol. thanks again! -d

Ok - here is the list I am looking at - final to my team captain. I have started looking at my meager CP's to spend and wondering if it would be best to give my warlord (Wraithseer) the power to get the CP's back on a 5+. I have played few games - over the past year. And I typically forget to spend these lol. But looking through the list of stratagems for the Ynnari I am thinking of many uses for spending. Currently my warlord has the power that regains one wound per round... as well as a 5+ feel no pain sorta power. Thoughts? I can see spending one CP to give another warlord power to my Autarch -making him extra killy. I worry about spending the CP and running out. So I try not to lean on them to help me much. But this list could really benefit from more CP shenanigans I think. Here is the list... >>> UPDATED <<< >>><<<< MURDER HAPPY DEATH CLOWNS >>><<< (v2) ++ Supreme Command Detachment +1CP (Aeldari - Craftworlds) ++ + No Force Org Slot + Craftworld Attribute: Ynnari ((- 2 CP on overall list)) + HQ + Autarch Skyrunner : Banshee Mask, Shuriken Pistol, Twin Shrunken Catapult.

I do not - sorry

hmmm I am looking mostly to play non-gw games with my friend from New Mexico - currently Armada - but it could branch out. I was thinking at 20$ or less TableTop Sim may be worth the try. I will look for me how to vids - to see what kinda education I will need to undertake before buying though. Thanks! -d

Does anyone use or have tried TableTop Simulator or tried Vassal for war-games? I have a friend whom lives in another state and we play Armada when he is in town. We would also play other table top games as well over the internet when time allowed. Can anyone give me a review or gamer opinion on either or both of them? Looking at TableTop Simulator more than Vassal - but either could be solutions. I have no experience with them so hoping someone here has some insight. -don

Wraithwall .... lots of wraith guard ... and such. At least I found my fraithwall army to be pretty solid.

different topic... not sure was posted or discussed. Random thoughts from Torg... - is global warming / climate change really just the earths "flea dip" to the infestation known as human kind? - sound bite from that debate thing on broadcast TV... "do we save Miami?" ... uhh... no to any part of "saving" a plots of land do to shifts in the global climate. - how is flat earth folks a thing? How do these people decide this kinda thing? I mean I'm interested.

hmmm hope it is posted this weekend - i will give it a listen

3.5 hours? ugh lol maybe
