I owned the soundtrack :) now I have to try to find it, I hope you're happy... ;)

Man it's been a busy month :p I finally found some time to put paint to models :) I'm happy with the result considering the models were second hand (assembled, primed, painted, primed, taken apart and re assembled, primed, and painted again). I mag'd a few of the shields (like the rest of my cav) just in case I want to shed some points. I'll probably do the next few batches for the summer campaign, and combo them between this thread and that 1 :)

I think I heard that the next campaign will be titled: BURN ALL THE WITCHES!!! So it should be ok. ;) It does suck that some are excluded. They should have just cut to the chase and said add a primaris librarian. :p Even though the event is sales driven I'm still looking forward to it. Ill be starting art forge/40k threads to report painted units/games. It's fun to feel like I'm contributing to the universe I've partially lived in for 20+ years.

Bjorn is a beast, well worth it. Flyers sound solid, they've performed well on the interwebs. BC tax is a no brainer. Shield dreads to shadow bjorn and his character status looks like fun. IP's have done well for me, as long as they stay away from high damage close combat. The +1 cover from the ruin priest will be funny, as well as jaws when it works :) Herald is a good tank for incoming shooting because of his 2++ because of the mantle. His outflank is fun as you can disrupt something squishy in the back field. His damage output has been disappointing, he seems to get bogged down when he's off causing trouble on his own. The list looks fun. Anything it touches should explode.

In matched play each power (other than smite) can only be cast once per psychic phase. So only 1 guide in your example. In open play you can do as you like: "You get guide, you get guide, everybody gets guuuiiiidddeee!" ;)

I agree, Limiting cherry picking to <chapter> would go a long way to attempting to maintain some sort of game balance.

The bases are sweet, I love the crackle. The muted pallet is pleasing too :)

Iron priests on Thunder wolves have performed well in the few games I've gotten in. In general opponents are shooting the softer fenrisian wolves for easy kills, or the more threatening larger T-cav units. Meanwhile the priests meander up and start 'booping' people with their hammers. Fun stuff :)

In this case wouldn't the language in the pistols rules allow it to fire? It takes the negative (you can't) and supersedes with the positive (you can). Seems like a clear RAW. But what do I know? ;) Things I've learned, space wolf addition: 1. Use your rerolls. I ended a game last night with 4 left over, I pretty much spaced them out :p 2. Space wolf HQ's are tough hombres, but will still get their teeth kicked in if they're out of position (happened in 2 games so far). 3. Drop pods don't explode. Color me surprised :) 4. Most of the thunder cav's damage comes from the mount. I guess when something that big is chewing on you you'd notice. 5. Sometimes you just have to let the wolf wolf. ;) Still happy with 8th. Herald is bravely off in a corner getting murdered by deep strikers :p

Picked up some second hand TWC from guardian. I plan to clean up and paint this unit to table top standards.

Every time you take a plasma command squad the emperor kills a kitten... With plasma... The hot kind, not the blood kind. That would just be weird. ;)

4 plasma for 64 pnts? Have fun with that :)

Found this on B&C. So gonna make up some of these boyz. Super simple and clean conversion.

Friendly coaching on their choices on the table. Also, if you are winning you games against them, tell them how you're doing it. From list construction to tabletop execution. Seeing the game from a different mindset/perspective can yield some good lessons. And keep defeating them. People learn lots from losing, and it's a great motivator to improve. :)

Nice legs. :) Is the cheribdis (however it's spelled) pod that big!?

It was one of my childhoods epic movie moments. I don't dare watch it again for fear of my modern self. I've tried with other oldies and found the result unsatisfactory :( Might just be me though :p

"You got the touch, you got the power!"

Snorri meets the boss for some epic 'into the sunset' action.

TPS REPORTS!!!!

I caved to peer pressure and changed the title :p

Modeled for advantage, bo-ya! Its 1/4" cork from the craft store :) With a normal marine on the 1/4" you can achieve similar height to primaris. Might be a way to inter-mingle old and new and not have it look to weird.

Snorri, South Blade, Son of Russ and Gray Hunter of Secs. For a prototype he turned out well, although I spent way too much time on him :p I'm really liking the new kits, it'll be fun to see these guys stomping around on the board. I'll get some pics of him with his Great Co. tomorrow.
