  1. I went to this one, with my 8 year old daughter in tow.

    They had a paint-&-take for reaper miniatures, so she was occupied as I sorted through bags of bitz and two large rubbermaid totes of spues for the ones I deemed necessary of the $1/sprue cost to finish off my Sisters of Battle Repressor conversions.

    PFC Games and Mugu Games had some large set-ups,the multiple storage boxes of Rogue Trader miniatures from Mugu (Squats $10 each, most else 3 models for $5 or $2 each)

    I picked up some 25 or so Rogue Trader plastic Imperial Guard and a few matching lead models to add to my trade bait for $15

    Then picked up an old copy of Outburst for kids and a magnet chess set for $5

    I was tempted to get ten Plastic Goliath gangers from the original Necromunda set for $15, but decided not to.

    It was held at a nice community center, pretty easy to find but I had to park two blocks away.

    The next one is January 27th, I believe. There should be more info on their facebook page.

  2. I recall Skaven had a rule like that with Skavenslaves,which I used to good effect around the time everyone else was Great Horned Rat and Plague Monk obsessed.

    I also miss the Looted Vehicle rules, but keep the theme going with a Looted Wagon made from a Rhino (and wooden planks nailed over the holes by the Snakebites using the thing.

  3. I haven't even got the Index: Xenos in order to do 'Roight Proppa Orkzesez' once the Codex comes out.

    However, given the lack of "Marine HQ on Bike' and other conversion-centric entries missing from the actual released Codexes so far, I might have to rethink that particular strateegery...

    On the other hand, I've still got that tote with three and a half (only partially built the one whose arms ended in a Mega Deathrolla) kitbashed Stompas from before the official kit came out, and am looking forward to spreading spores wherever i Waaagh soon.

    But given the decade between the 3rd Ed Ork Codex and their next official release, I'm not exactly holding my breath for when it'll come out.

    I'll keep building Rogue Trader Rhinos into Repressors for my Sisters and kitbashing Age of Sigmar Stormfallen into Grey Knights/Thunder Warriors (hey, the iconography works, alright....) until then.

  4. I forsee someone misreading the Grim Demeanor rule to claim their Valhallan vehicles have 2x the wounds of non-Valhallan vehicles, rather than if a vehicle has 3 wounds remaining it counts as if it had six wounds left ONLY for determining how far it can move/how well it can shoot, etc.

  5. What about some ObSec 5 BSS with 2 Flamers & (optional) Superior w/CombiFlamer to ride along with the Dominions in their Repressors?

    Dominions crack open the shell, BSS flambe' the meat formerly inside the transports, and/or provide a charge-discouraging Wall of Flamey Goodness from inside the Repressors in the charge phase while the Dominions melta out during the shooting phase.

    Still getting used to Sisters vehicles with sufficient fire points. I got in the habit of making wedges from Rhinos/Immolators, deploying shooty Sisters inbetween the tanks and shooting through the 1.99999" gap between to receive no charges in return.

    Previous edition hangovers are a bitch.

     

  6. Yep, I just with they could still do a Celestian and Command Squad all with jump packs.

    In 8th Edition terms (wishlisting::ON) it would be like having a jump pack on an Imagifer able to quickly move around and dole out the Faith points when and where needed. (wishlisting::OFF)

    I am thinking of taking a "Death Blossom" Rhino with five units of two Death Cult Assassins to scoot up the board and MIRV the opposition while their (empty) Immolator dedicated transports also light up enemy units lives.
