Hey, don't forget those painting DAY of on Friday! 😎

Hopefully people realize the speed painting tournament isn't meant to paint your full weekend force, 🤣

Everyone is actually painting frantically for OFCC 😜

Just a reminder this is the last call for t-shirts for the OFCC this year! Will not be having these available at the event. Get those orders in before end of day Wednesday July 31st.

 

 

BY POPULAR DEMAND

T-shirt orders are extended through July 31st! Pre-order them while they're available!

Last Chance for t-shirts!!! OFCC Shirts will be removed from the Ordo store today.

They say it would never be done, but they were wrong...Mission 5 is posted!!!!

Check the first post for details!

Fun, I get the feeling of a casino. 

Two questions,

* CAN'T reroll marker with CP's?

* TURN means player turn or battle round? Wasn't sure if the 3 point captured on the next battle round that player holds it for, or at the end of their 2nd turn, or at the end of the opponent turn.

Just a reminder this is the last call for t-shirts for the OFCC this year! Will not be having these available at the event. Get those orders in before end of day Wednesday July 31st.

Last call on tshirts!!! Must be locked in by end of day Wednesday July 31st! Order while you can! Again, not going to have these at the event.

Anyone happen to have any immortal or deathmark spine bits? The Immortals I got 2nd hand appear to have NOT put those on, and severely impacts their look. (Can't figure out why they wouldn't use the spine bit)...

Also open to ideas for alternative bits/pieces that can be used to make a spine like backing.

Figured I'd ask before trying to greenstuff some junky look on them. 😫

Just a point of clarity: the shield drones do nothing for the stormsurge (tau Lord of war) because it lacks the keywords needed to trigger their protection.

That FW tau Lord of war, on the other hand, does have the keywords needed.

Didn't know that?

Your good attitude will be your best weapon at OFCC, and your ability to strategically hinder your own army's capabilities may be your second best weapon if your opponents army warrants it. 

^^^ THIS! 😎 

Sportsmanship points are earned really by how much of a FUN time your opponent had, plus we all covet the prized favorite opponent pin (at least I do). Chatting and having a good time can be just as effective as playing the game (just make sure it doesn't slow you at turn 2 because too much distraction).

I also find myself letting off the 'gas' sometimes if a game starts sliding too far in my favor.

Okay, so it really is model eye point of view for targeting. However, it is on a model per model basis. So it is quite possible that in your unit of 10 CSM, only 7 can draw LOS to the target unit. However, there seem to be no restriction on split fire now right? so as long as those three could find another target in range, they could fire at that.

Correct, if only 7 can see the target, then 3 cannot shoot that target. Nothing prevents those 3 from shooting a target THEY can see separately at the same time.

I LOVE split fire!

Right.  Drop the Riptide, and keep the one Stormsurge.

Use the Riptide points to add some Pathfinders (if I buy more) and troops (if I buy another starter box).

Don't have a huge collection, so my options are kinda limited.

I disagree that you need to drop this riptide. It would be on par with enough lists (knights for example). The main thing from before was 54 T7 wounds, by dropping the 1 stormsurge it balances out. You end up being our higher tier list, but that's the make of our team. We have your list, my list, nid list, and chaos list in that order of power.

As pax said, it's really about about fun games. Against the right list, you'd do fine. It really comes down to units being too durable, or too killy for their point values. Tau can abuse shield drones to keep lords of war alive well past their 20 wounds, or riptides, etc. Not saying to drop those, but considering balance is what Pax was shooting at. We'll be getting some practice games in and it'll help you see the effectiveness of it.

Not really, 8th edition simplified it. Nothing, if you can see it you can shoot it. some people are still confused by 7th. Only help is area terrain (any piece as long as 100% in the terrain), it offers bonus +1 to your saving throw. There's special terrain piece rules too, but most of those are ignored.

The only one that seems to be open for debate is vehicle obscured, but there no page number showing a rule for that in the BRB that I can see. Page 248 goes into more details. But the obscured rule appears to be infantry only.

Yeah, Testors has a gloss coat too. I use that as the first coat then take down the shine with the matte. I dunno if the Gloss is too glossy for the effect you are going for, but the quality of Testor's product is top-notch ime.

I'll take a look at their gloss coat. Do you know local shops that carry it?

Testor's Dullcote. It's the only way to go IME. Available at hobby and craft stores across the land (Craft Warehouse, Michaels, Hobbytown, etc.) 

Dullcote destroys metal (turns it gray), and my Necrons need the shine, this is why the semi gloss looks perfect.

There's always the Friday ITC, should be a good crowd.

I am looking for a good semi gloss sealer (glossy if required). I ran out of my stash from Bridgetown hobbies (Mr Super Clear Semi-gloss) and can't find any from hobby stores and have to order from vendors I don't recognize online. 

Example: http://www.mr-hobby.com/en/itemDetail.php?iId=270

Looking for recommendations or locations I can pick something up from!

Looks like there is an alternative from testors, but not sure if any good: https://www.amazon.com/d/Hobby-Paints/Semi-Gloss-Lacquer-Clear-Testors/B004QPGAYA

So, my 4th player is also new to OFCC . He made a Tyranids list. What I noticed early on is 2 battlalions for 13cp, but also over 100 models (so might hurt to get games finished). My main question is do you feel overpowering or fair for OFCC?
