Treads-n-Wings

I'll try to make it to hang out and/or play with a sample force...there are sample Infinity forces at WOW, right?

I'm interested in at least one Chimera (the mostly-unpainted one with the multilaser and missile rack) and the FW-turret Demolisher, and depending on what "converted" means, maybe the converted Demolisher as well/instead of the FW Demolisher, depending on price.

Sisters still have the Gothic look and the boob plates, I'm glad.

Totally agree. But it's a GW thing. Just like how every vampire model has their fangs exposed...

 

In all honesty, GW should just work females back into the SM fluff. No good excuse for the imperium being exclusively men. I also dislike how the sisters get a weaker statline than the male version of power armor soldiers of the 41st millenium. Seems like with all that genetic modification, you should have equally burly females in with the males.

Part crunch part fluff response: Sisters get T3 because they haven't been genetically modified and beefed up from their teenage years like Space Marines have.  It differentiates the armies as well; Marines are the elite strike force, Sisters (can be, and I think should be) more of a "horde of the faithful".  Power armored nuns in numbers.

Full fluff response: Having the Marines be a brotherhood (giant warrior monks) and the Sisters be a sisterhood (battle nuns) is a good balance of single-sex factions in 40k, and fits with the faith-and-war facet of the Imperium.  Shoehorning female Marines in would not improve 40k and would only hurt it.

(It also sounds like you're suggesting 40k gets an all-female army, but no all-male army counterpart.  Sounds like Segmentum No Fun Allowed.)

where are the mechwarrior minis from?

I think they're Warhammers from tabletop Battletech.  Or Destructoid.  One of those IPs that early Battletech had legal issues with.

Chimera with Guard squad?  Yes please, I need both of those.  Don't even care if they get extra rules, walking ablative armor and their transport will do just fine.

The molding and casting tutorial was really cool.  I got to hang out and took some pictures of the 30k game in the next room.

I have Necrons looking for 1500/1750pt games, willing to face 30k lists.  (Is there any issue with 40k armies facing 30k armies?  I have no issue with it, however I don't know 30k rules, only 40k.)

If anyone is up for 40k or Kill Team I can do that too.  40k I'd be looking for a 1k game with my fledgling Guard army, Kill Team I can do Guard or Necrons.

I like the classic Sisters armor, boob plate, bob cut, and all.  I suppose I can let the heels go, long as they keep the rest.

We'll just have to wait and see what GW does...right, GW?  New Sisters, riiiiiiiight?

Fantastic Canoness model!

Anybody else notice that Aeronautica Imperialis was included in the Imperial Agents codex?  I might buy some air support for my fledgling Guard after all.

I'll be there around 3.

I can do Kill Team or 40k.  Would prefer 40k at 1500/1750pts, but KT works too.

Oh, I bet they gossip all the time.

You forgot the part where they argue about the finer points of purging heresy and the related punishments...standard purgation by fire, impaling, the rack, the wheel, sentencing him to be hung, drawn, and quartered, and on and on.

But seriously, I'm all for plastic Sisters.  I'm okay if they wait a while to release 8th edition, both so they can (hopefully) do it right, and also for the sake of my wallet and free time.  Emperor knows time and money will become fleeting afterthoughts if and when(?) GW releases new Sisters.

Are there usually 30k players there for pick-up games?

Any chance you're willing to sell individual models off the lot?

It's a gorgeous army.  I like how you painted the warrior silhouettes on the Monolith's eternity gate.

Since Tzeentch has altered my work schedule to prevent me playing Tuesdays, I would like to plan n' play 40k with something Sunday.  Casual match, 1750 points, Eternal War missions, I will gladly play 30k or 40k armies.

Hello again.  If you still have that Monolith, and it's still priced at $40, I will take it.

I'll look into that, thanks.

Wish I could make it, but work has me scheduled on Tuesdays again.  :(

Anybody have a spare Ghost Ark/Annihilation Barge prow, like the one pictured?  It just needs to be in one piece and reasonable condition, painted or unpainted, I'm not picky.

Now I want to model a Terminator for these rules with a rocket-assisted powerfist on top of his standard powerfist.

I'm interested in an Apoc game.  I have 4,800 points (before upgrades) of Necrons.  Just regular 40k stuff, no giant Apoc toys, sadly.

What day would we be holding the event?

I may be interested, I'll get back to you in a few weeks.

I think I'll have Tuesday the 20th open this month.

The 40k game didn't pan out after all, I won't be there tonight.  Props on Ando for the up-to-date alert.
