Anyone wanna play a fun quick 1000 point completely unbound just bring anything kill stuff game anytime at or before 4:30 or so tomorrow?

Android, your orks still want a 2k point battle vs my Nids?

I have a game with Von at 5:30 but if you can do anytime before 2:30 id be down for a second!  Or i think Sherbert is also looking for a game.

So I think I've decided on tau, the more I see then the more I like them. What do you guys think about this starting army just to get me going:

HQ-

Still no idea

Troops-

Bunch of fire warriors

Fast-

Couple squads of pathfinders

Elite-

1-2 riptides

1-2 crisis squads

Heavy-

2 hammerheads

Not looking for super competative but more just fun and versitle.

Man do you put a lot faith in the those Flyrants. To me they are a lot like a paper airplane with a machine gun. Especially if those centurians get a hold of them.

 

Haha well I've also see them take out almost a whole army by themselves.

Any of your guys able to get skyfire? If not I'll drop a flyrant because 2 flyrants with no skyfire may be brutal.

Dibs on that game with the new brad! 2k

Sounds good! What race will my tyranids be rocked by this week?

Unfortunately on Tuesday night the hive held a small funeral for their 3 carnifex brothers who all three got chopped in half by a single swing of the sword of a savage slow obese daemon. Now the whole hive is looking for blood to avenge their fallen. If anyone would like to put their army in front of some tyranids looking for some revenge just let me know.

That's awesome guys, thank you so much for the insight. I think I have enough nids to proxy a while army and try each out. Also not sure if people know about it but I found this app called "Battle scribe" it's amazing. Can upload all of the codexes from their site for free and makes making army lists insanely easy.

Hey guys,

As some of you know I have a Tyranid army, and now I want to start a second.  I would like to make an army that is a polar opposite of nids so i've narrowed it down to Eldar or Tau, Mainly because I like the look of them the best.  Anyone have any experience playing with or against either? if so which would you suggest, and what units would you suggest taking to leaving out?  Any insight would help a ton, don't have tons of money to spend so want to avoid the buy everything and see what unit you like strategy, as i did with my nids.

Cool! I can be there a bit after 5.

What army do you play again? Still trying to learn all the new codices. I'll be playing my nids.

I'm in need of some 40k as well. Since I'm prepping for the OFCC, would 2000 points using the tactical objectives be OK?

Yeah buddy, what time works best for you?

Id like to play a few games of 40k on Tuesday, anyone want in?

Duncan's armor 13 and 14 just laughed in my face all day.  He kicked my ass but I love playing those Maelstrom missions and had a ton of fun if anyone else wants to get in a game any time before next Tuesday.

Whatever you wanna bring, I was gonna bring something fun but semi competative (no dual flying hive tyrants). But 2k points, 2:30 at dark tower?

Hey guys,

Been on vacation for a few weeks and have missed the last 2 Tuesdays and still need my 40k fix.  Anyone wanna play a game of like 2k points Maelstrom missions tomorrow (Thursday) vs my nids, I'm avail all day.

Cool thanks guys, and I'll be out of town for the next week and a half but I'm always down for any type of 40k game, pretty much any day/time until school starts up again in late September and then just evenings after that.

I've been seeing a lot about these certain formations such as "living artillery" or "endless swarm" for tyranids with bonus special rules if you meet all the requirements but I cannot find where the full specifics are or a list of all the possible formations. Anyone know a site? Thank you.

I like Hive Guard. They have their purposes. They are no longer a must have, but they aren't a bad choice. With the new damage table you are just working on removing hull points, which is kind of annoying that our dedicated anti tank gun can't explode a closed topped vehicle. I plan on trying them out again now that I can fill the role of zoanthropes and venomthropes with the new forgeworld malanthrope. 

i'm confused by forgeworld...  are they a third party site that just makes new 40k units and everyone just uses them? or are you actually contracted by games workshop? are the units and rules for their units such as the malanthrope legit to use in tourniment play?

Just found out that the CEO of GW announced he was stepping down so at very least this will shake things up a bit, and maybe restructure many things.

News loves drama, a 10% change in revenue for such a niche market is nothing to freak out about.

I would doubt those numbers, yes they have taken a hit in sales in the first quarter but that trend is not going to be linear.  I read an article, cant find it right now but i think it was the CFO saying that financially they did take a hit but they are doing just fine.  Looking at the financial report North America is the only place they closed more stores than they opened and they are just starting to break into Asia which has an enormous demographic for this kind of stuff.  Also Ironically UK seems to be the only place they had a significant change which may be a large factor in the stock price and speculation, I'm no expert but compared to many other reports I've seen GW seems to be down a bit but totally fine.

What time and you pick the points. Is there anything specific you wanna see? Tank heavy, infantry heavy, a mix?

A mix of everything would be nice, I'm going to be taking a ton of different stuff to try out.  I'll be there at 5, and lets say 1750?

I'm also going to be there Tuesday with my tyranids if anyone would like to play a 1500-2k point game or 2?

Most of the focus is on ICs, MCUs, and micro processors, but I want to focus on sustainable energies when I graduate. Also how do you feel about Hive Guard?  On paper they seem pretty great with the impaler cannon, and descent point cost, however it seems like I never see people use them.
