Dark Trainer

HAH, he's got my vote! 🤣

Just wondering, how many folks have watched the movie (based on a true story), "Idiocracy"... 🤨

That would make some fun terrain.

Those tiles make my whiteboard/dry erase maps need to be upgraded. Very cool!

Interesting. This a new codex coming? Date?

Sadly, I won't have much availability until mid to late August. Looks like I'll have to bow out again. But crush a goblin for me!

One is a toddler who is sweet as can be. The other will try to eat a strangers leg off. You pick 🤪

I just want to see the Dark Elves cleaned up again. Right now everything was split out Witch elves, separate of normal spearman, separate of corsairs, etc. Really broke up my 2500pts of Dark elves, making them not really viable.

I'd love to blow the dust off my dark elves. Never could figure out how to build the army with them being split all over the place in Sigmar. I'm not a 'huge' fantasy player, but would love to get some learning games in and see what i'm missing. Never did get to play sigmar.

I want to reiterate the importance here of what Torg said. It's huge. Be careful of theory-hammer. You might think that new unit sounds good on paper, and find out you fall short, or doesn't fit your playstyle/strategy, etc. Proxy units in some friendly learning games. Don't feel you need to blow your paycheck to get a full army right off. Especially since you'll end up like most of us with boxes never assembled, never painted, and you won't be able to keep up the modelling side of things. Don't be afraid to ask, wouldn't bug most because it's not about winning, it's about learning a 'game'. I once made a cardboard replica of a Necron monolith, and spray painted it black, and such was able to use it for a few games and see if I even liked it. Then, dropped some cash. Playing games helps you find out what kind of player you are. A must spam every overpowered unit and leaf blow my opponent off the table. Balanced list for strong, but friendly games. Don't mind the squishier units because they look pretty (do custodes even have squishy units?) 🤪 Start playing, don't wait. My first 3 games were two 500 point and a 750 point. I wouldn't go past that until you've gotten some core play in. However, 1000 points is a sweet spot to get to because games get more balanced and full feeling. 500 and 750 can be hard to beat a 2+ save, etc. Then again, these aren't about trying to beat you, they're about game mechanics. Then get more games in.. Eventually you'll want 1500, then 2000 to finish off a normal battle army. HOWEVER, at this point you should be nearly a veteran and don't rush this. You'll find yourself 'behind' assembling and pains in your wallet if you go too fast. Patience and playing the 'long' game will help. 😁 We usually do an escalation league, which really helps, but with Covid I don't know when I'll be able to run the next one at the clubhouse. Lastly, you'll find this group is usually friendly and always willing to help. However, I find this hobby in general is mostly pretty helpful.

Well, I can't commit to anything atm. But I'd be interested if I had the time to do so.

Normally, I would be 100% for this. However, my schedule right now prevents me from much 'fun' time until after July. Work, coaching, etc. Next time definitely would be in!

I've been Xbox'ing mostly, haven't been motivated to get off the couch for PC gaming. 🤪 Game pass games have been awesome. Things like Deep Rock Galactic and others have been fun. However, haven't really done much multiplayer lately. Been blasting through as many free game pass games that I can. Desperados 3 is my current work through.

I have those new on sprue still. Didn't use them when I built my Ghost ark.

Thanks, I wanted to support my local game shop, so I ordered from them.

Placed my order. Ordered an old Destroyer squadron box (need to finish my 12 destroyers, might not field em, but I own them)! I'll probably be getting rid of the extra destroyer in there. Also ordered the Necron Codex and Necron datacards.

Goin' gaming in Troutdale, OR. has 2 copies of Indomitus and some Recruit and Elite starter sets. Just pointing out in case anyone is looking and wants to support a local shop.

Thanks for the info so far. Sounds like I can get the rule book free to start at least browsing. And then as far as rules for my army just grab the New codex and I should be good. I don't have any forge world so I don't know that I need the indexes. Unless any other old models are only in the index? I'm going to place an order for the codex at least.

With Covid and all, i haven't taken any time to get caught up with 40k. In fact, I skipped Indomitus and all that (local shop has Indomitus, but have most of those models just not the new ones). Mainly just looking to get caught up with essentials. Below are the things I think I need. Latest rules? Link to the current rulebook? Is there one, or is it all index crap again? There's a new Codex for Necrons or is it Indexes too? Any must haves of the new models, or just 'meh' so far? Not a huge fan of the new design, but wondering about power and high end models of the new kits. Any other insight? Basically I already own a ton of Necrons, they've been my core army since 4th ed. Just looking to get my feet under me again and support my local game store with an order.

EPIC, and that beginner mission is probably the BEST mission ever made! Easy, in depth, a great story, and SUPER flexible for DM's! (as long as no other player has run it yet).

I helped a friend with a home theater (years ago). Sound wise, he just had your typical 4 speaker surround sound (with sub woofer) as the room was standard sized. Then he had 2 longer couches. The first was on the normal floor, the 2nd was elevated on a platform he had built to raise the room. Basically he did stadium seating to allow seeing over people. It seated 6 easily, 8 if you had to, and with extra chairs on the side, could do up to 12. As an alternative to stadium seating, you can raise the eye elevation of the screen too. Our home TV sits atop the fireplace about 4ft up. If we move our 2 couches one in front of the other, the front couch doesn't offend. However, looking more upward is less ideal than looking forward. There is math you can figure out about proper eye to TV elevation. I don't recall what it is, but google can help. I also went to a party for my niece and the person hosting had a theater system in his shop (big enough for an RV or 2). Big 20ft screen and all. That was pretty awesome too! Playing Xbox on a 20ft screen was crazy.

You might not be doing it right...🤣 '' On a side note, I agree. I was able to roller blade/roller skate just fine. Skateboard, NOPE...
