A friend and I are planning to meet up tomorrow evening for a game of 40k. This will be my first time coming to the club house as well as his I believe.

Yes Guardian is a good place to play 40k (or any other Warhammer Game) on Wednesday nights. They ask you a series of questions such as: if you are a beginner, casual or competitive gamer, what points level you would like to play at, if you are willing to teach new players and a few other questions to help match up all players. Just sign up on Thursday around noon because they have been selling out all 30 slots most weeks.

Rad thanks for the heads up about Guardian. I was playing at the Portland Game store when they first opened a while back but they haven't started hosting any games yet. I cant make it to the Ordo club house nights on Thursday because of my schedule 😕 

Hey Portland 40k players!

I am a returning player who last played during 7th ed. I finally (mostly) painted up about 1500 pts worth of Death Guard and am ready to start playing again! I am looking for an opponent that is well versed in the 9th ed. rules and willing to work with me through a potentially slower game while I reacquaint myself with all the complexities of this game. I am fully vaccinated and down for Covid safety procedures etc.

It sounds like Guardian games is doing 40k nights on Wednesday again and could be a good place to meet up for a match.

Hi there,

Im looking for some one to play a game of 40k with on this upcoming Sunday.

I am relatively new still and want to get some more games in before trying to play in a league.

Im available all day sunday and could meet at either guardian or east port.

Thanks,

Ethan

Anyone?

I ordered a set of heldrake sprues from ebay recently and when I got them they were missing the two bits two the head piece.

Pretty pissed because they were shown on the listing to be there. I filed a claim and contacted the seller but no luck yet.

In the mean time I am still out a head for my drake. I was wondering If anyone who maybe converted their drake had the original head still around?

Or maybe some ideas on possible conversions for the head?

thanks

Thanks for the input on the melta bombs, will deffinetly drop those to get down to 1850. 

As for the CSM units. Can I run both a CCW and a special weapon on them. I thought It was either you got CCW/BP or you went with Boltgun and upgrade to special weapon. 

What If I ran three units of 1 obliterator to avoid leadership checks? 

Alright I am not almost positive I fixed the points.

***Edit I went back and fixed some points***

I know you all advised against Power fist and Axe on champion, but its what I got for now.

It is very likely that I messed some of these points up, If you could point out what I missed that would be helpful.

Does this seem like an effective assault list?

I have all of the stuff except the Prince, the two maulerfiends, the Jugg for my lord, and I need 1 more rhino.

That was a lot to chew threw, but I appreciate it.

Pretty bummed that the dual LC isnt a viable choice (just about finished painting the Chosen model). 

As for Champions. Can I use the DV Chosen model with the boltgun and powermaul as a champ for one of the units? I would give him melta bombs too. 

Thank you so much for all the advice guys,

I finally have a pretty good mental image of what I want my army to be.

I'll be stopping by league night at Guardian Games tomorrow to observe some more games hopefully some chaos ones.

Anyone else going to be there?

Okay, so you don't want plasma on the infantry squads, this is simply because they can't assault after rapid firing and you seem to intend to assault ASAP. Same issue with the rhinos, you can't assault out of them. So, you'll advance up in the rhinos, get out, and then get shot up - your ability to survive getting shot will determine if your assault army functions or not.

 

On the rhinos, those can take combi-plasma to good effect, since the rhino can move and fire.

Okay that makes sense with the plasma.

If you can't assault after disembarking what would be a good way to keep my guys safe for a turn?

Should I bring a sorc to cast invisible? Do rhino smoke bombs cover units outside of them as well? 

Also the unit can fire their bolt guns and possible melta after disembarking right? 

So something like this

- Juggernaut 

5 spawn

- Khorne lord, axe

9 x CCW/BP CSM

Rhino, Dirge caster

- Aspiring champ, dual LC

9 CSM CCW/BP

Rhino, Dirge caster

- Aspiring champ, power maul

9 CCW/BG CSM

Rhino, Dirge Caster

- 10 cultists

-Helcult

-Maulerfiend 

As for special weapons, can Plasma effectively tank bust, or should I strictly run with Meltas?

I want to pick up a heldrake at some point as well. 

I  also may have just picked up some Obliterates for cheap on ebay. Deep striking Oblits seem to be really popular in CSM lists lately. 

Hey N.W. 40k'ers 

One of the Guardian Games employees told me about this group after I stopped by asking where to get in touch with the Portland 40k players.

I recently decided to jump back into miniwargaming after a 5 year hiatus. 

I am still very rusty and with the 7th edition having just come out I'm a bit lost. 

I picked up the new rule book and happened to come across a cheap CSM 7th ed codex. 

Always wanted to play chaos (I played tyranid when I first started) and was able to pick up some mini's on ebay cheap.

So far I have 

1 Lord/sorc (dark vengance)

30 x cultists

1 x helbrute 

9 x Khorne zerkers

5 x CSM

5 x Chosen

1 x rhino

I was wondering if anyone could maybe help point me in the right direction with my army. I am really into the Khorne and World Eaters fluff even if they arn't the most competitive CSM list right now. 

I was also thinking once I get a solid lower level army together I could meet up with some people at G.G. to play a couple easy games with so I can become more familiar with the rules again.

Thanks
