  1. I have 4 NoS Space wolf packs, 1 NiB Space Wolf Pack, 1 NoS Space Wolf Termie squad 25 each for the packs and 30 for the termie squad. I'm in Seattle, but I will ship. I will also hand deliver these to Bellingham for the cost of one Potato Burrito.
  2. Less boys and maybe burnas with a mek for the Mork? Other than that looks pretty good.
  3. DE have Raiders in fast attack now too. You can put a full squad of fire dragons in them. Blood angels will probably have pods in fast attack too.
  4. Deck building would help some of the lower ranked books. Chaos Marines are great at summoning things, throwing cultists in a grinder, and camping. But not moving or shooting. If they could score points for tar pitting more points than the unit is worth, they might win some games. Something like "Remain in assault with more points than your squad is worth and score 1 point. Make it 2x as much and score d3 points" and "Summon some crap, score a point". But all of the stuff in the book favors fast, shooty armies, not games of attrition, which is all Chaos really has. And it would require me to buy more crap from GW.
  5. I'm a fan of the Maelstrom. I wish they took it a bit farther and added deck building. Able to take special faction cards, kind of like Netrunner. But I think its a good step, although the book keeping is a pain. The best tactics I've found are and things that are fast and things that can overkill a unit, I've been having success with vindicators and nurgle spawn. I can wipe out a unit if I focus all my fire then get into assault, and I can run to an objective if I need to. I haven't had good results with the camping Plague marines like I did in 6th.
  6. The support role for DE in an Eldar force seems to have gotten better. With the no scatter deep strike, cheep raiders which are now in fast attack, buff to splinter racks, and cheap warriors. Raider spam to complement your serpent spam, with a precision strike of Wraithguard, not too shabby.
  7. A knight doesn't really matter if its come the Apoc.The 3rd place Nova open list was Daemons with Knight allies.They make awesome back field. And with them away from your main host they are free to stomp around and drop pie plates.
  8. Ikea has nice display cabinets. Planning on picking one up when I finish this Orks list.
  9. I have an organization question. Is it better to keep bits on the sprue or pop them off and put them in a tackle box or something?
  10. I was mostly just wondering if I should build more boyz over the burnas, I'm running low on bodies.
  11. I ran an unbound list the other day. It wasn't super min-maxed, just a chaos list with out having to pay a cultist\nurgling tax. Worked really well, ObjSec is kinda over rated, being able to move fast and focus your fire is more important in maelstrom missions. I'm sure there are ways to abuse unbound, but none seem to be any worse than things you can do in a normal list.
  12. I think its mostly delivery methods and cost. Flamers are useful but hard to get where you need them. That and they are in the same slot as tank hunters. I never use my flamers on my marines, running from objective to objective shooting at wave serpents and big bugs. I read throw them in a Gorkanaut with all the meks. But I'm only running 1 big mek on a bike for the shield, and no walkers. I've kinda talked my self out of them, unless someone can find a must have reason or synergy.
  13. I have a buncha burna bitz after building my lootas, but I heard they suck. Any use for these boyz or leave the bits in the box for 8th edition
  14. I used to play along time ago (6th grade). They game was rebooted, they had some demos at PAX. There are forums there too, someone might be interested there. http://www.sfr-inc.com/dragondice.php
  15. I didnt know those could be full. Cleared out all those.
  16. I need two deffkoptas, preferably unpainted but I can strip. Thinking like 15 bucks a pop. I live in Seattle.
  17. That is a good point. The trukk is cheaper than grots, put a rokkit on it and plunk away. Also a trukk wont run away. Although its pretty hard to hide. Side note: "Put a rokkit on it" is the Ork version of "Put a bird on it".
  18. Lone wolves are great. Give'em a TH/storm shield and send em out to hit a tank. At the least he'll get killed by a wave serpent in one turn. Just think of it as paying 55 points to make a wave serpent not shoot for a turn and he might actually do something useful too.
  19. I'm shelln' out some teef for a new ork army. I am wondering about trukks, the voice of the intra-webs seems pretty divided. Have you guys had any luck with them?
  20. My deathwing list is pretty similar. I'm running crusaders and I run out of models. One round of bad rolls and I'm nearly tabled. The landraiders are usually still there. I'd also throw the tact squads in pods so you can land on an objective or two and start scoring turn one.The one thing DA has going for them is they are tough to shoot off objectives. Stubborn + PFG in a drop pod. Land the pod on your target and then they have to kill a 4++ pod plus your jerks. Out lasting is very hard. I'm in the process of switching my Nurgle list to unbound just for that reason. Also pods would make more sense with the melta guns. Same with the Chappy, he wants to punch people. Also maybe ally with grey knights for some better invulns on the landraiders?
  21. Off topic but: My Riptide is an x55z-2a variant so it has a water chip, a taco wagon, and a copy of Def Leopard's 1983 classic "Pyromania". So it re-rolls wounds, moves twice, ignores cover, and you have to buy me a pizza. On a roll of a 6, I have to settle for teriyaki from the sketchy place across the street.
  22. The Champions of Fenris: Mark of the Tau: There are so many damn special rules here so you can just start making stuff up and no one will have any idea what you are talking about.
  23. The terminator leaders get the shield for free. So you can buy a shield on your leader for 15 points...or get a guy in termie armor with a shield and a stormbolter for 15 points...
  24. I'm painting mine up with a Scandinavian Death Metal look (black, white, and GW blood tech paint). I'd be OK with a chariot. Also I noticed when you cover blood claws in blood, they look a lot like berserkers.
  25. BURN RAGE YELL...bitch...moan...snark..wiper...just not take plague marines anymore? :(
