Fair enough. Thanks for the replies :)

I'm just full of questions aren't I! Comes from my hiatus I guess and planning for situations I haven't encountered before. Here's the latest one: A dark eldar raider deep strikes in through use of a webway portal. At the end of the movement phase units/weapon systems with interceptor may fire at "any one unit that has arrived from Reserve within its range and line of sight." This includes units that have arrived in a transport that has deep struck in such as marines from a drop pod. In the case of the raider however the unit inside does not disembark. The first unit of broadsides with interceptor shoot at the raider with their smart missile system and wreck/explode the raider. Can the other broadside unit with Interceptor now shoot at the unit that has been forced to disembark from the raider or are exposed in the smoldering crater, or does the fact that unit was not on the table prior to that first round of interceptor shooting now preserve it from being a target?

Gonna jump straight to the question. Can a bomber perform a bombing run as it leaves the table to go back into ongoing reserves? The BRB's rules on bombing runs don't seem to prevent it but just thought I'd double check. BRB on Bombing Runs: "To make a Bombing Run, a Flyer must be Zooming; a Flying Monstrous Creature must be Swooping. Move the model that is making the Bombing Run, and then nominate one model that it passed over. Place the blast marker for the Bomb so that the central hole on the marker is over the target model, and roll a scatter dice."

My vote goes to warmachine/hordes steamroller! I'll bring my steampunk Russians.

So it looks like Team Diversity is planning on making a return to OFCC this year! With that in mind I'm throwing together a new Tau list and am going to give the Remora Stealth Drones from forgeworld ( http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Tau/TAU-BATTLESUITS-AND-DRONES/TAU-REMORA-DRONE-STEALTH-FIGHTERS.html ) a good run. I have run into a bit of a quandry however and have not been able to find a solid answer. By all appearances on FW's website the drones come with skimmer bases, which makes sense given when they were first made and published they were skimmers. They are, however, now flyers. So are they now one of the only "planes" to use a skimmer base or should I be acquiring flyer bases for them?

I know this thread is a little old at this point, but I've been off the forums for quite some time and just came back around. I've been looking into the sunshark bomber myself and there's one thing I feel I should point out, good sir, just in case you overlooked it or someone else reads this thread and gets the wrong idea. While the drones can do good work, you mention that the bomber gets to shoot at three separate things. Bomb one target, shoot another, and have the occupant drones shoot a third. That only works if you have disengaged the drones from the bomber into their own unit. If they are still embarked upon the flyer the rules for Attached Drones state "unlike other models shooting form Fire Points, attached drones must shoot at the same target as the vehicle they are attached to" (Tau Codex pg. 33).

It sounds like the correct conclusion was reached but I'll weigh in. Seeker Missiles themselves do not have skyfire. They simply hit using a BS of 5 if fired using a marker light token. Thus the rules of 'Hard to Hit' and Snapfire which state BS is then reduced to 1 would take effect and 6's would be required to hit. The distinction however is when a seeker missile is fired by use of a marker token to gain ignores cover, BS5, and so on it is still being fired by the unit/platform and therefore gains the rules of the platform as well. Thus when fired by a model with a velocity tracker (like the sky ray) which has chosen to have skyfire for that round the seeker missiles gain skyfire as well. The flip side of course is if the missiles have been bought for a vehicle or suit that does not have skyfire then they will need 6's to hit aircraft, or if skyfire is being used that round by the platform and it then chooses to shoot it's missiles at a tank (not sure why this would happen but it's an example) snap firing would be required as well.

Sounds like a good time to me!

I'm down though I haven't had a chance to ask xavier. Who would be the fourth with the three of us?

This is going to be Xavier, Kyojin, and my's last game night at WOW for a few years. Kyo's got a game. Anyone feel like throwing down with my Tau or Xavier's orks for a resounding hurrah?

All right! We'll see you guys tonight then!

I'd love to get in a game before we head off to Ohio. We're leaving first week of August though so we'll have to get it in on one of these next couple of weeks!

Xavier, Kyojin, and I will all be showing up with 1000-2000 points worth of 40k and also at least for some of us Warmachine models. Anybody up for games?

I'll be there with lists for both 1k and 2k of Tau, and the same for Kyo with Dark Eldar and Xavier with Orks

I will be showing up with 1000 and 2000 point lists for Tau, Xavier will be bringing at least 1000 points of Orks, and Kyojin will be bringing at least 1000 points of Dark Eldar. Anybody feel up for games league or otherwise?

[-removed post-]

The boys and I will be showing up tomorrow for game night ready to start bashing our collective faces upon 7th edition. Anyone feel like playing around with the 2k of Charcharodons I've put together? Fear the space sharks!

Hey, everybody. Time for jaws to drop. The boys and I will be showing up to gamenight today! Kyo and I will be bringing our 40k armies as well. Does anybody feel like taking on 2000 points worth of Tau? I've got a new list to try in hopes of taking it to OFCC this year.

Some complications came up at the last minute and we will not be able to attend today. Sorry! I hope you can find another opponent. Maybe next week if you're coming? I've been eager to play against the new guard and see how well I can handle it with the list I'm testing for OFCC

Xavier, Kyo, and I will all be coming tomorrow. Kyo and I both have 2000 pts of our respective armies. If need be I'm sure one of us could work it down to 1850 as well. Neither of us have faced off against the new guard yet and if there is anybody else showing up wanting to play 40k we'll be there!

This lot is still for sale :)

Xavier, Kyojin, and I will all be showing up with 2000 pts of 40k and could bring warmachine too if anybody is game. I've got a new 40k list that needs testing out now that the new guard codex is out and I know Xavier and Kyojin would love to get games too. Anybody up for a game with one of us?

I am looking to sell all of these off and while I would prefer not to do this piecemeal if you really want just pieces PM me an offer and I'll consider it. Pictures of all OOP models can be found here: http://s1309.photobucket.com/user/KaosStore/library/Lizardman%20Army?sort=3&page=1 Models: NIB Saurus Warriors NIB Temle Guard OOP Carnosaur (old model) OOP Terradons w/ Javelins (old model) x3 OOP Tiktaq'to (old model) OOP Saurus Oldblood (old model) OOP Skink Priest w/ Sacrificial Blade and Staff OOP Skink Priest w/ Feathered Cloak OOP Chameleon Skinks (old model) x3 OOP Cold One Ridersx8 OOP Saurus Warriors x32 OOP Skinks x24 OOP Temple Guard x12 For many of the models you will notice their left arms are missing. This was intentional as I had once intended to paint them and having that left arm and shield attached makes that a huge pain. All of the bits are still present and will of course be shipped with the units.

Darktrainer (Attacker) vs. Kaoshin (Defender) Darktrainer was the victor, but while the rest of his troops were slain around him Commander Arcfist (Kaoshin's Shas'O) remained defiant of the Necro's inexoriable advance. Standing valiantly in the path of an advancing monolith he slew it with a single blow of his mighty onager gauntlet and then proceeded to hold the line alone against the remaining mechanical troops and their destroyer lord for the remainder of the battle's duration without falling.

From what I understand Xavier spoke to you about Kyo and me getting involved in the campaign. Just wanted to voice now that I've got my account sorted back out on here that I will definitely be there tomorrow with my Tau and my $20. I'm excited! Sounds like the points for games are gonna be up in the air so I'll see about having a couple different-sized lists thrown together.
