Sylvos

Because I don't want to saw up this guy:

 

If he is missing an arm then your original point is invalid as he is already disassembled and you modifying him further would only do exactly what you said you didn't want to do.

Pax you shouldn't troll threads it's against the CoC.

Oblig:

 

I approve of this thread.

Why do you have a space marine pooping on a toilet.

Summoning protection?

That is an awesome reaction and yes, anti-summon protection :)

Warning Cry: It is said that is impossible to sneak up on a Gryph-hound. If an enemy unit is set up within 10" of this unit, roll two dice. Any unit within that many inches of the Gryph-hounds is alerted to the enemy unit's presence, and can attack it with one of its weapons as though it was your shooting phase. 

omg 

Because magnetizing the arm and having both options is too hard because.....?

I still have 3 boxes of Treemen left to assemble!

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!

I may have to paint up a 3rd treeman!

MOAR DRYADS!

The excitement is tangible!  

This is all very exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should I get off work in time, absolutely!

Updated 7/11

Just tossing out ideas here but...

What would be people's thoughts on having each scenario in an AoS event - escalate the narrative conflict.

Like:

Game 1 - 20-35 models ( or wounds whatever mechanic we use)

Game 2 - 30-50 models

Game 3 - 40-60

etc...

As each game goes really fast - like a 20-35 model game is generally over in 45 minutes, etc..

Just tossing out feelers here, nothing set in stone.

Spit-balling if you will.

The lack of outcry over the effect 32mm bases will have on the already-tight BB pitch grid is really beginning to alarm me. Some things are even less flexible than oldhammers. 

embrace the 40mm pitch.  It is your..destiny.

The Senate meets this weekend, maybe after we finish discussing OFCC we can slide in some time to discuss a possible AOS Fall event.  That will depend on interest from the community and viability of a venue, etc..etc...etc...

Cancel the team event! Sylvos is running AOS all weekend.

Tempting but ... we'll start small like maybe a 20-30 person event locally in Portland.

I could definitely work with these for an organized event.

It's not an in-game efficiency thing for 40k. The Slaanesh daemons are awesome.

 

That said, their weak points are their model line and rules. GW's been making the models look worse, plus 40k Slaanesh daemons are a horde army, plus 40k slaanesh in general has the fewest special character options.

 

And on top of that, slaanesh plastics are ridiculously fragile models with lots of plastic barbs to embed and break off in your model transport containers.

 

Any respectable slaanesh player is going to look at other model lines (or OOP Slaanesh) to make their slaanesh army. Especially the core troops, their models just suck.

Wha?

Eh?

....what???

These types of posts have me excited for the presentation of clubs saturday morning!

oooh!

I didnt see that!

Pretre has a fancy cool article!

They mention Slaanesh in the last White Dwarf, so maybe he isn't as powerful or has been relegated to being a minor god. Or...they have another stupid elf orgy and summon him into the world again (FFS)

Right my point exactly. This leads me to wonder if part of the "fixing" needed for AoS is for us to think of the game a little differently. I do think there are flaws with the game, lack of a sophisticated, movement system is high on my list. However I am curious if part of the issue is trying to make the new like the old. 

People need to actually play a few games before needing to "fix" something that actually plays very well and is fun.  I have had a blast thus far.  If people are bringing broken crap to a friendly game then perhaps they aren't the best opponent to engage in?

Just curious. Is some of the balance in this game suppose to be the ease at which things die? A Treeman has 12 wounds, which under the old system was devastating. Under this system, meh. My 9 man unit of Ironguts took it down in 1 round of combat. Nagash has 16 wounds. I can't imagine killing him would take more than a couple turns. 

In AoS nothing is going to be unkillable.  Ironguts are by their nature very good in this new system, it was not suprising that the monster fell to a unit of great weapon wielding ogres. 

We're good now!

Am I Russian now?

My phone autocorrected you to Russian :(

I appreciate that Eben get's my humor and wit. He and I are true blue bros.
