  1. This is probably why the skyray is so popular. It has skyfire and thus gets to fire at fliers with its full BS.
  2. Okay, so I've been trying to piece this one out. The FAQ for the main rulebook and for the Tau codex does not cover this situation in the slightest. In fact, GW FAQs seems fairly useless due to lack of content. The question is, what BS does a seeker missile use to hit a flier when a marker light token has been used? Does it need a '6' to hit following the rules of snapshots? or does it need a '2' following the BS 5 that a seeker missile gets? I am learning towards a '6' since the main rulebook states that a special rule must mention snapshots in order to modify it. The rules for seeker missiles don't include any mention of snapshots. I do think you could spend marker lights to increase the BS of the unit firing at the flier, and the seeker would also benefit from that as well. So for instance, you have a hammerhead with two seekers on it. You get four markers on a flier. The hammerhead can spend two points to launch both seekers, and then the other two points to get a BS 3 for all shots at the flier. Is this how the rest of you would play this?
  3. I think it is always nice when there are multiple chances to win something as opposed to one prize that is raffled off. Ordo swag is always a nice prize too. For instance, I'm sure there are plenty of people without the ordo template that are playing in the league.
  4. You just take the wings off of the second one. And the first one is a lady of the lake style, which could work.
  5. If you don't mind a slightly larger scale Anima Tactics has some pretty good models that could work....all depends if you don't mind her being more of a "goddess" size than typical human size...
  6. Also, gravity feed vs siphon feed? this one seems to be a better brand based on reviews and fits perfectly within my budget: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Multi-Purpose-Dual-Action-Airbrush-Exclusively/dp/B00A4MWPL6/ref=sr_1_29?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1422396104&sr=1-29&keywords=master+airbrush
  7. So I'm looking to get a fairly basic airbrush to go along with my setup. I already have a nice detailed brush, so this one is going to be used to do basecoats and the like. Due to the fact that I have an Amazon gift card and they have pretty darn good prices, I was going to get it from there. I found one that has a trigger setup. Just wanted to get some feedback on that. I would hope it would do fine for basecoats. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KNFOKE?psc=1
  8. Figured we had all of these "last movie/book/song/yadda yadda yadda" threads, and then realized we didn't have one about model kits. So maybe some nice mod will sticky this. First entry, 40K Tau Pathfinder box. Price $35 Inside - a unit of 10 pathfiders, with all of the weapon options, plus three drones (all of the special ones). Contents for $$ = 5/5 This is a great box. For the money, you get a complete squad, with every weapon option currently available to them, plus can make three drones of the non-standard gun drone type. Plus, if you have extra drone tops, you can make all of them. Look of the models = 4/5 these guys are pretty good. No more than two of any leg set, and two sets are completely unique. Lots of bits to add too and some interesting extras to make your unit leaders stand out. Ease of Assembly = 5/5 this is the first kit from GW where two gun arms go together and it fits perfectly! I was amazed. I have fought constantly with GW kits where the two arms need to line up. Normally there is one and only one placement that works. Well this kit had the gun placements much more flexible, and they still fit together. Why GW can't make more kits like this, I don't know...but it was a joy to assemble. Overall = 5/5 This is one set every Tau player should have, if not multiples of. I have some broadsides and a riptide to assemble next, and I'm hoping that the Tau continue to impress.
  9. The Imitation Game - 9/10 - fantastic movie. My wife and I were just totally into it throughout the whole movie. Just an amazing story.
  10. There are no sacred cows because GW hasn't figured out how to own the IP rights for them.
  11. Actually, no, no there isn't. At no point in going through the word "team" do you come across "me".
  12. yeah, but he came with a cyber cherub!
  13. so as an opponent, would you mind if I used the new formation, paid for the bikes, but then didn't bring them on the basis that they are ugly.
  14. $28 for a new plastic, single pose model.
  15. New question. Crew. So they are rated for a specific vehicle? or a class of vehicle? So if I have a light tank crew, I can put them in any light tank and they will be okay? I think I currently have four light tanks in my garage, so just wanted to know if I should sell and consolidate crew. Also, does the crew go away when you sell a vehicle? I had the first german arty tank, but sold it when I could get the wespe...but now I don't really know what happened to the crew of that vehicle...but the wespe is a higher class anyways..so I assume the crew would have to retrain in it right?
  16. Tell me more. I haven't bought this kit yet, but was hoping to in the future.
  17. Well, if my tanks had upgrades on them other than what is in the trees, I could see that, but they don't. There is nothing on my tanks other than what is in the trees (simply too expensive to buy any of those other upgrades). Hmmm so if I drop down the radio size, then maybe I can fit the upgraded turret? Maybe I'll give that a try. Right now I just run down my tanks and play a game, get killed, hop to the next tank, rinse and repeat. I am having fun at times, but I have to say it is equally frustrating to get killed right away with no idea on how.
  18. Right now I'm working through the German trees to try to get vehicles I'm interested in. That seems to be the hardest part for me right now. I have to grind vehicles I don't enjoy (marder II) to earn a vehicle that I hope will be better. I wish the skill tree was more accurate as well. I hate unlocking something, and then finding out I can't equip it because I need some other upgrade first. Seems pretty stupid that a required upgrade is not in that advancement line. I also don't get why Elite vehicles don't let you unlock other tanks. I doubt I'll ever get above Tier 4. The grind required to get there just seems so long. They need to add Italian vehicles though.
  19. "Please buy our super overpriced Tesseract Vault!"
  20. This game has way too many rules that aren't covered on the web site. Most of my vehicles have three crew. So does that mean I can hire two more guys on some of my tanks so that they perform better?
