  1. Tac squad box with some bits pludo action
  2. Seems like a better trade to me. Lose a scout squad get better vets and a raven. I dunno you said it was a turd I'm just trying to optimize without feces is all.
  3. Why not take the BA angels force with the vets and sternguard instead. You need to pay for the raven but all the sweet upgrades are free.
  4. Hey I was actually looking to get some Goblins from Mantic. Things I need: Spitters aka Goblins with Bows: I would like 2 boxes of these Rabble Regiment aka HW and Shield: I would like 2 boxes of these Fleabag riders aka wolf riders: I could use a box of these and prefer Sniffs.
  5. I downloaded that book for all the fun content. I actually like all the new terrain that has been introduced so far.
  6. Speaking of regiments of renown where is info on the mercenary faction. I have grown bored of the sigmarines and their ever growing line of the same model different weapons box releases.
  7. Regardless of the model I don't feel the rules are even worth fielding it. That warlord trait sucks.
  8. It does indeed exist in multiple armies such as Space Marines and even Tau. What detriment could be caused but not always using a character? If anything, by not choosing a character a person takes a great risk. I think more interesting is exactly what the game needs instead of trying to create unkillable generals or character based death stars. I have been watching replays of a big tournament that has just about every army consisting 3 characters in some huge unit of massive point denial. I can see why some people found 8th a little predictable. I never was part of the tournament scene but these games are so boring to watch at times. I know at least half the moves even before the game begins. Now it doesn't justify a complete change but allowing anything for a general might just encourage people to not spend so many points on one or for that matter protecting one.
  9. I wonder if anyone in all these rules creation scenarios will allow non characters to be the general. In 40k you can pick anyone you want to be the warlord. I bet the game would be a little more interesting if it allowed anyone you wanted to be the general.
  10. I love the one with the skull. You are doing an awesome job. The conversions are slick.
  11. I don't have the skills you do man. You are a great painter. I think they look a bit too goofy to be chaos trolls. Very much aquatic and the weapons don't match well.
  12. Well the teams are on the impact website and I will put up full rosters tomorrow. Wife is sick so can't do it right now.
  13. I have a Full Desert Dogs team and an Apes of Wrath team. The Apes are all brand new in package never even touched. The Desert Dogs are 2/3 primed and the rest NIB. I am open to offers on this one as I am unsure of what everyone would offer in the first place. I went to the Impact Website and some of the teams are down for images. This is what I have though due to searching. Desert Dogs: Nicely Primed Black: 1 Thrower 3 Basic Blockers 4 Dervishes 2 Midfielders 4 Strikers NIB: 2 Midfielders 2 Dervishes 2 Strikers Total Players: 20 Total Retail: 80 bucks Advice: If you were to throw in the Dogs of War Sheikh for a coach and then get an Araby Maneater in Finecast for a little modding you have a perfect human Araby team. Apes Team:These are all NIB 4 Gorilla Blockers 4 Gorillas Blitzers 2 Chimp Midfielders 2 Chimp Runners 2 Orangutan Throwers Total Players: 14 Total Retail: 93 Dollars Advice: I would play this as an Orc team personally but perhaps you have other ideas. Throw in a very large gorilla as a Troll.
  14. Throgg is 300 pts holy smokes. I will admit I owned 18 Chaos Trolls and traded them but still it seems a bit harsh. On an unrelated note is there a decent looking Chaos Troll out there in this world?
  15. I will go with Option 3 for the character movement. I will give an actual list example for my reason. My favorite army is Dogs of War. I know it's probably not the best example but it is my favorite with a list I want to play so I am using it. The main characters that people choose from are very weak in comparison to most within fantasy. They are basically Empire Knock offs or even worse if selecting the paymaster "which you must". I have conceded that my list will have the necessary functional characters but they cannot be "combat" characters (except for the Capatus which we get one as well) and I need to hide them in skirmisher bunkers. I have chosen halflings to hide them in as they are 6 pts a piece and have BS4 bows with LD8. I think that is awesome but one thing that worries me is if people hit them magic missiles/normal missiles or perhaps a stone thrower. You see halflings are Toughness 2 and that is terrible. As Sean Zern once said to me "Killing halflings has got to be like squashing ripe pumpkins." I fear he is correct and I know if I take at least one good round of shooting my bunker is screwed. I will need to leave said bunker to seek shelter somewhere else. That is why I want to be able to leave units. Pumpkins don't always make the best body guards.
  16. I really believe if you used the old paperback big book that came out right before the reboot and mixed it with the new models the game would be awesome. I was a Mishima player and actually traded them all to a friend in February. They were my very first models and I can just remember staring at blisters of Warzone and 40k. In Warzone every model really matters and the squad based combat is very much the life and death of your force. 40k had so much to choose from but the editions (as always) can breathe life or crush certain kits/units.
  17. His argument is valid as I was given the choice of 40k or Warzone. 40k was 50% more even in the early 90's. I chose Warzone...
  18. I feel a little slow but please explain to me what a gunslinger sarg is? I figure he has two melta pistols but I am unsure.
  19. Bear cav are a thing in the kislev fan book. They are called sons of ursun I think.
  20. I am not sure if these guys are trying to just power down the entire game or what. In this version crap troops are crap always. Cavalry being messed with seems like a terrible idea. Well you get the starter shield and you can have the big kids shield...No. Losing the armor for being mounted....No. 8th as a base with small tweaks is my vote.
  21. Thanks man. We came back to the hometown to allow friends and family to be part of it. I will be going back to AZ next Wednesday though. Not sure when a NW trip will be planned again but it has been nice so far.
