You guys must have never seen my impression of Typical 40k Player, CA 1996 - "Land Raiders are HOW much?!? *digs out wallet, starts dropping bills on counter* Gimme 3. Goddamn GW, gouging prices...grumble grumble..."

$5 mat = 1 yard black felt + 3 different color of fabric paint pens. Not as purdy as some of these other options but a damn sight cheaper, and easily washed or replaced if you spill beer on it.

Folks at the bitz swap told me you were looking for these guys - I have the Ar-Ulric model, complete and untouched for sale!

Am I reading this right - did you have 18 models in an 1800 pt list? 8|

Ask and ye shall receive:

I dig the Bomber...but I think it's way better to have at least a brace of them. I'm running a Bomber list which is Capt Jonus (for the reroll on secondary wweapons) + Seismic Charges + Squad Leader, 2 x Scimitar bombers with Assault and Cluster Missiles, and 2 Academy TIEs. It can put a hurtin' on swarms and big ships, and is packing enough ordinance to be a serious threat to multiple ships.

Did someone say BITZ SWAP?!?! I've been going through the Basement of Miniature Doom and have pulled a bunch of stuff I'd be happy to trade or sell. Fair warning, I'm looking for specific things at this point (volume is now an active detriment for me :)), most of it 80s era - list is below.

My guess is that ship's going to be the first Wave 4 to sell out - because it's the only cheap Rebel ship out there (19 pts max) so folks will want a bunch. Fooling around yesterday, I make a list that had 5 x Bandit Squad (3 with Ion Pulse Missile) + Kyle Katarn HWK with Ion Turret, Recon Specialist and Swarm Tactics that looked really nasty - there's so much Ion that they an easily stun 1-2 key ships/turn to control threats while swarming vulnerable targets with weenies to finish them off.

I've got both, in need of stripping (yowza!). Tradewise, I'm on the lookout for RT Marines and Nid stuff, or cash. Or a heap of random type things. PM me :)

Can we talk about the *new* spaceships now?

Yeah, I definitely think in the smaller games/for unprepared opponents, Ion is just brutal. I've only used Ion Cannons once on Slave I and it totally caught my opponent off guard. It's a great setup for a combo if you can get an attack run lined up - disable with Ion, then send in your lower PS pilots to shoot down the Ionized ship in the next round. It's even worse when the side with Ion also has a torpedo or missile-armed ship, or someone like Backstabber with abilities to increase damage and the speed/maneuverability to get there fast. Good thing Imperial ships don't have access to cannons... ...but I just reread the Wave 4 page, and saw that TIE Defenders can mount cannon upgrades - combine that with a ship and what I am betting is a white K-Turn (they brag the TIE-D has "a maneuver you've never seen on another dial before") you can use that bad boy to back a TIE Swarm, setting up a big ship for a kill by your weenies. Don't know if I'm more stoked about that, or the fact the TIE Phantom can take Advanced Systems and Crew upgrades...

I've been running the following list at 1850 and having a good time with it. [165] Chaos Lord + Mark of Nurgle + Terminator Armor + Chainfist + Blight Grenades + Burning Brand of Skalathrax [125] Warpsmith + Mark of Nurgle [210] Decimator Daemon Engine + Storm Laser [120] Helbrute + Heavy Flamer [120] Helbrute + Heavy Flamer [227] 10 Marines + VotLW + Plasma Gun + Autocannon + Rhino with Dirge Caster, Havoc Launcher [227] 10 Marines + VotLW + Plasma Gun + Autocannon + Rhino with Dirge Caster, Havoc Launcher [170] Helldrake + Baleflamer [170] Helldrake + Baleflamer [158] 2 Obliterators + Mark of Nurgle + Vets of the Long War [158] 2 Obliterators + Mark of Nurgle + Vets of the Long War Basically, both HQs attach to an Oblit squad, the Lord + Oblits deep-strike while the Warpsmith shatters defenses on the best ruin in the enemy deployment zone or whereever the objective's been dropped. The Hellbrutes + Decimators work as a squad and come up the middle as the hammer, backed up by the Helldrakes and marines in Rhinos which go after transports and infantry. It ain't subtle but it's pretty fun!

You're right! I started with Wave 2, but have never played against a Y-Wing - though the HWK-90 with Ion Turret makes for one annoying support craft.

Mainly because I can put them on the far superior B-Wing :)

Actually, he kinda is. Reference: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1821440755/mega-mantm-the-board-game For your consideration - much of the prices you see on products like those you cite rely heavily on 2 things, a) volume and b) printing overseas. Not every game company can rely on either of those things. For instance, I have purchased all-card games with smaller circulations that top out at around $40 but have nice components, and others that are $25 but by necessity have had to make some sacrifices in component quality in order to keep the price low (or, god forbid, work with a Chinese printer sight unseen/without making day-of press checks). Many, many, many companies that use Kickstarter to produce a game do not do so to line their pockets - they do so in order to ensure they can actually raise the necessary capital, build a larger head of promotional steam than they could if they were bootstrapping, and/or actually pay themselves something for the time and toil they spend on making that game. Speaking as the owner of a company that has gone the traditional route for 8 years, I can't overemphasize how valuable those things are in a business with this much risk and customer expectations this high. And if they're doing really well, they can even use some of that money to lower the final MSRP. But I don't think it's a company's obligation to use Kickstarter to make a product cheaper. Personally, I think that trying to make Kickstarter a race to the bottom in terms of costs is a profoundly bad idea for the entire chain - if it is all about slamming costs down, companies selling in retail are hurt because of artificial expectations about what a game *actually costs* to bring to market through distribution; Kickstarter creators are hurt because there's an additional pressure to cut into their margins just like they would be if going through distro in order to make a lower price; retailers are hurt because people stop bothering buying in stores; and customers are hurt because the central hub of the gaming communities - the stores, clubs, and other communities where gamers meet - are sidelined. In the end, folks should be Kickstarting something in the hopes of making that thing become a reality, not to get as cheap a product as possible. Sure, it's a nice perk of investing, but that's not the point. The creators of those projects need to ask for the money they think need to bring stuff out, companies in distribution should not be actively discouraged from selling through stores, and retailers still need to have a seat at the table because they *actually provide tables* that all of us benefit from. Circle of life :)

I think it's too soon to declare the game is done. I'm going to give FFG the benefit of the doubt, cause I think by in large they've done a great job so far. To your concerns: The Headhunter is a *Rebel* ship, finally giving that side something less than 16 points to fill out its lists. TIEs will be affected not at all (and TIE Swarms will still be stronger, thanks to the +1 AGL, Evade, Barrel Roll and many support ships they have to back them up). As for power creep, I think the big balancing factor will be the increased point costs we're starting to see. The E-Wing example they show on the page is a 32 point ship, nekkid. The Defender's lowest PS ship is 30 points. So I think part of what we'll see is points-creep, as the game moves to accommodate more-than-100-point games (and the bigger ships they allow). I for one am looking forward to bigger games, as I would like to fly more than 4 ships when playing Rebels, or to build TIE wings with something more than Academy Pilots :) The counterpoint to concerns about power creep IMO is the fact most of these new ships are using existing upgrades, rather than adding new ones. for example, I'm hoping the addition of new Astromechs and Turret upgrades in this wave will breathe some new life into the Y-Wing, which is currently a bit of a turd now that the B-Wing is out there. This gives FFG the chance to course-correct on some of the older ships by generating new stuff that work well with them. Sure you have to buy new stuff but let's face it...you were going to anyway ;)

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4645 Holy. Crap. I've been worried about the future of X-Wing, as with the release of big ships and repaints in the last few waves, it was starting to look like they'd run out of ships already. This wave looks to really mix things up for both factions, including: * a 12 pt Rebel Ship in the Rookie Headhunter * The game's first 4 ATK ship in the TIE Phantom...plus cloaking! * The toughest, nastiest TIE (3's across the board) in the TIE Defender * The expensive love child of an A-Wing and X-Wing (with Astromechs and Advanced Systems) in the E-Wing After a little bit of disappointment in the results of some of my favorite ships back in Wave 2 (the TIE Interceptor and A-Wing), it looks like they're going to make up for it in spades in Wave 4. I'm excited to see some new stuff that will mean seeing new forces beyond TIE swarms and Gunboatpalooza that seems to pop up in the game currently. Here's looking forward to this summer!

PMed! PS - Bryan doesn't need any more Daemons, but I do!

Don't get me wrong: IB is still bad. Even barring the stupidity of the 1-3 results in most cases, not controlling what your troops do is bad. Some apologists focus on the "free" USR but that's just a nice spit-shine on the turd of "your troops are ignoring you." But Taak is right that it doesn't affect as many units as you think it does - which is another reason IB is even more bad (makes you fret about something you don't have to fret about, making it even harder to judge IB's effects on your army - just a waste of time and neurons, and frustrating for no actual result). If I had to write this book and to keep IB, I would have simply made more shades of IB and spread them logically (I mean, instinct is always logical, because it's tied to survival and playing to a critter's strengths...it's just not always beneficial or reliable). IB in this case would only ever do one thing...what the critter defaults to when it's not being lead around by Synapse. Oh, and nothing would ever cannibalize itself, because by that logic the cannibalistic genotype doesn't deserve to survive and evolve...and your troops randomly killing themselves is completely unfun. Anyway, I do appreciate someone's at least trying to look at the reality, and figure out how to work within it. His note about order of operations in the beginning of the Movement phase was, for me, very enlightening.

If you've got the 2nd Edition Sisters of Battle or Space Wolves codices, I would love to get my hands on 'em (they're the last two I don't have in my collection). Don't have any of your dwarves you're looking for, but I do have a few old 80s dwarves I can swap to do you a turn...

OK. This is the first, actually useful, insightful, balanced article I've read on Instinctive Behavior (WARNING: length rivals War & Peace): http://www.3plusplus.net/2014/01/understanding-instinctive-behaviour-synergistic-relationships-within-the-tyranid-army/

That, right there, is pure conversion magic.

I mean this in the most civil possible way - but how is any of this relevant? While I'm annoyed at the loss of Spores, that's not the underlying problem with the book that the bug players here in this forum are actually discussing. Nor is who's to blame. The problem is the book has serious problems in terms of being on par with the rest of this edition, and so obviously so. We as consumers don't have to look any further than that.

Well said. I feel bad about being so damn bitchy about this thing, but I think as a game designer, seeing something that's just so...lazy really pushes my IRRITATE! button. Mostly I'm baffled as to why they felt the need to make an almost arbitrary set of changes to a bunch of OK units, but leave so many other direly crappy units the same and excessively nerf some of the remaining good stuff. While most discussion has focused on the negative, it's nice to see Carnies and T-fexes get a vital price drop, to see some shifting of units out of Elites to other slots (Deathleaper I'm looking at you), and the addition of the Exocrine which isn't that bad. I even respect the points changes to the Terv, and the removal of the Doom (pours 40 on the curb). But I put very little stock in an army being about points - or the fallacy of "earning your points back" - in general. It's how you use it that matters; an "overpriced" 'dex like Nids 5E did just fine with a little thought. And what we got was more complexity for no payoff...also known as "pointless work." The dex just screams Lost Opportunity to me - not because they needed to utterly remake the bugs, but because they could have just made a popular army legitimately balanced and fun in 6E, and obviously chose not to.

Uh, losing control of your units is BAD. Period. Basing that on a Ld check you are more likely than not to fail (avg leadership amongst non Synapse bugs = Ld 6.5, btw) does not make this statistically comforting. I could also say "Why play a shooting Tau army? I mean, you might never hit." As for accepting risk or casualties in a game - let's just say you know nothing of my armies or my play style, so we can just keep that out of the conversation. Well, I've tried to start a discussion, as have others. Perhaps we can start here and perhaps you can contribute rather than expecting us to cram in some acceptable number of games to prove to you that we are somehow capable of providing criticism? So...do you want to have a discussion, based on what I know, both from *actually* playing a game, and *actually* owning and playing this army for the better part of 3 years? Cause I'm willing to have that discussion. But repeating to me that armies will change, as if I am a child, is not necessary.
