  1. Some models with bases have special rules that say to use the hull (which is the case for Monliths and Repulsors), or to use whichever of the hull/base is closer (which is the case for Raiders); if not, then you use the base. So no, your Raider shenanigans doesn't work, and Venoms don't stick out far enough beyond the base to attempt that anyway.
  2. It's not a corner case, it's explicitly addressed in the rules... I mean, enjoy your smaller pool of opponents I guess? Some people and their house rules, smh.
  3. That's...literally how the game works now. In your last post you said this conversation was academic because facings are gone, and now you're saying the rules are dumb because they don't involve facings?
  4. If the barrel doesn't move then it's not the part you use to measure your move distance.
  5. There are situations where you might need to rotate something. For example, if you are castling a Leman Russ behind an obscuring piece of terrain and surrounded it with a bunch of infantry, and don't want to move the infantry, then you can instead rotate a sponson or turret so that it can see around the terrain.
  6. That'd be a house rule, since any part of a model with no base is now considered the hull:
  7. Same answer. You're overthinking it, just find whatever piece moved furthest and find out how far it moved.
  8. Whichever moved the furthest
  9. No not really, I just got the impression from your last post that you guys were on top of it Ruins were breachable for all of 8th, at least for infantry. But what would give you the idea that fly becomes meaningless if ruins are breachable? It still allows you to avoid getting tri-pointed (without using the new strat), still allows you to ignore models/terrain while moving, still allows you to charge flyers, and still allows you to ignore models when charging. That all seems pretty valuable to me! But yeah, almost completely meaningless, sure...
  10. They still can over larger stuff, just with a penalty equal to the up/down distance The "breachable" keyword is there for a reason, and can be applied to ruins. That you guys chose not to make your ruins breachable is surprising and the only reason for this standoff.
  11. wonder how this will shake up list building:
  12. not true lol, ITC has allowed game-by-game toolboxing for most things for all of 8th ed -- only exceptions have been stuff like upgrading of BA captains to death company. dont get me wrong, i like the change that's suggested by this roster sheet, but it is certainly a big change if TOs start to disallow toolboxing of all kinds.
  13. where do you see this bit? i see where it says selecting warlord traits is part of "mustering your army" when starting a mission, but it still seems entirely up to TOs whether they want to allow toolboxing or not.
  14. Currently grabbing breakfast at "Honey at Alma Mater" if anyone wants to join... Address is 1322 Fawcett Ave in Tacoma, about 10min drive from game matrix.
  15. Thanks!! I'd like to use the bigger one - army takes up a bit of space 🙂
  16. If anybody could help me out with some kind of tray to move my army around from table to table I'd really appreciate it! Flying up from San Fran so can't bring my own. Maybe the shop has ones but I've never been there before so don't know.
  17. I snagged one of the available spots today and just uploaded my list - only just became aware of the event, will be flying up from SF. Sorry for any inconvenience w/ the timing.
  18. yeah but if i'm disembarking after getting charged anyway, then i'd rather have a twin immolation flamer on the tank than a couple of bolters.
  19. why not take an immolator then? any vehicle can do that.
  20. Latest iteration has more distinct board control elements: sticky blobs to take key objectives while the smaller sisters squads screen and spread out. These are also supported by more characters than before: I'm now running three Canonesses, which are insanely efficient with eviscerators + the Bloody Rose trait. I dropped Celestine since only a couple of units (the Rhino and Seraphim) really benefited from the maxed-out Shield of Faith save. A key tactic with this list is the Company Commander taking the Dagger of Tu'Sakh to keep himself and the Conscript blob in reserve. Normally Conscripts suck ass, but the Vostroyan First Born Pride strat will make them shoot at BS4 instead of 5, and proper positioning with my Astropath should make them immune to morale. Before they arrive, the plan is to be extremely aggressive with the Crusaders, who can take a ton of punishment with help from Psychic Barrier. ++ Brigade Detachment +12CP (Imperium - Adepta Sororitas) [84 PL, 14CP, 1366pts] ++ + No Force Org Slot [6 PL, 14CP, 215pts] + Battle-forged CP [3CP] Crusaders [6 PL, 130pts] . 10x Crusaders [130pts]: 10x Power sword [40pts] Detachment CP [12CP] Operative Requisition Sanctioned [-1CP, 85pts] Order Convictions: Order: Bloody Rose + HQ [11 PL, 231pts] + Canoness [3 PL, 60pts]: Combi-plasma [11pts], Frag & Krak grenades, Power sword [4pts], Relic: Blade of Admonition, Warlord Canoness [3 PL, 68pts]: Combi-plasma [11pts], Eviscerator [12pts], Frag & Krak grenades Canoness [3 PL, 68pts]: Combi-plasma [11pts], Eviscerator [12pts], Frag & Krak grenades Missionary [2 PL, 35pts]: Autogun, Chainsword, Frag & Krak grenades, Laspistol + Troops [24 PL, 270pts] + Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 45pts] . 4x Battle Sister [36pts]: 4x Bolt pistol, 4x Boltgun, 4x Frag & Krak grenades .

  21. Went back to the drawing board yesterday and decided that a more efficient solution would be to empower units like the smash captain and Emperor's Wrath artillery with a larger pool of command points. This time it's back to Sisters--a brigade of them, in fact--and the psykers are gone. Looking forward to trying this out tomorrow: ++ Brigade Detachment +12CP (Imperium - Adepta Sororitas) [82 PL, 3CP, 1227pts] ++ + No Force Org Slot + Battle-forged CP [3CP] Order: Bloody Rose + HQ + Canoness [3 PL, 68pts]: Combi-plasma, Eviscerator, Warlord Celestine [8 PL, 160pts] Missionary [2 PL, 35pts] + Troops + Battle Sister Squad [4 PL, 45pts]: 4x Battle Sister .

  22. Here's the latest version. I replaced the Manticore with a second Basilisk and used the spare points to add a mortar to each infantry squad, plus a storm shield to the smash captain. I really like the Manticore but this is more efficient, especially since I'm running an Emperor's Wrath detachment. Still has 85 reserve points for the assassin. ++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Imperium - Space Marines) ++ + HQ + Librarian in Phobos Armour: Camo cloak, Force sword (Raven Guard) Librarian on Bike: Boltgun, Force sword, Twin boltgun (White Scars) + Troops + Scout Squad (Black Templars) .

  23. From the Community site. The rule is called "Mere Mortals". A bit difficult to read but it's there. Well, to be specific they don't gain "Black Crusaders" bonuses but they might still have a Legion.
