Sorry, wasn't clear. I was talking about hobby supplies mostly. Citadel paint can be good but there's a world of other companies out there.

For example, GW's Flashgits yellow is one of my favorite paints. GW ceramite white I hate, love Army Painter matte white.

GW tools are normally rebranded from other companies with double the price etc...

I use Turbo Dork for metallics, Vallejo for most paints, and GW

I am not sure... how old is the current codex for custodes? I know that most 8th armies are not up to snuff when compared to 9th ed books.  So - remember that sometimes its not you... its your codex lol.  But like Dark Trainer was saying - you need to find out what kinda player you are - find out how you will most like to play - and then with experience under your belt plan to make additions to your army based on that natural play style.

-d

Custodes have issues against Drukhari due to their expense. Other than that they were one of the strongest in tournaments and still make it up in the tournaments but it is a lot of Forgeworld Units. Some you cant get outside of secondary sources currently

3d printing is always an option. Good way to proxy things on a small budget

I will be there for 40k. Can do Crusade or normal.

Excited to get started! thanks! Yes I am finishing my allaris terminators right now. Then I have a box of versus preators I need to build. So in total ill have 3 allaris terminators (one as a captain), a squad of 5 guard (2 sword/shield, 2 spear, 1 vexilla), and 3 vertus preators.

Want to join in the Crusade that is going on? Sound like you have about 500pts already

Week 3 is up!

Great couple of games against @Lyraeus...my a$$ still hurts from the whipping but It was hella fun!

Small games sort of advantage the super fast Drukhari. You got many good kills in though

Thats not ominous at all...

Opps, forgot to post here. I'm planning on showing up for a Crusade game! Can do up to 1100 points with Adeptus Custodies. Still learning the nuances of 9th edition.

@Unhlyknght

Looks like you got an opponent here ^_^

Been busy with the Bloody Rose for a while now.  Very little has changed.  It still performs excellent in the new and evolving meta.

 

My question is, What kind of an army does one want against DE were one expecting that sort of contest to come up quite soon.

So Sisters vs DE?

DE requires that you screen them out. They tend to have a ton of transports so you have to somehow pop those, and then get the guys inside otherwise they are just leaping off platforms right into you. They wont mind sacrificing 10 wyches to kill your repentia, its a fantastic trade for them or they could have Wracks with Liquifiers to blunt your charge. 

There are a LOT of variation to the DE tool box

I play salamanders. Open to crusade or anything  up to 2k

You are more than welcome to join the Open Crusade that is set up. 

There is info and everything here. I would recommend it as a 2k game after a smaller game might not have the time needed to finish. a 600pt game should take about an hour a 1000pt game should be about 2 hours or so

This is probably the closest stop that runs on weekends and is still about a 25 minute walk, so probably a heck of a trek for you with a limited weekend schedule. So probably not a great prospect. I'll get a taker or two I'm sure (and in no rush as I still have a dread to build), or I'll hang until immunization permits my re-entrance to the real world.

It would be the way back that stops me. How about this Saturday if we can see when is the latest I can get back by?

A game is a game and I have no issue taking a trek as long as I have a realistic way back. I am fully vaccinated (yay for being a VA guinea pig!) so hopefully that helps.

Heh, I'm still working on my army list. I actually subscribed to the GW app so that I could get the list builder...but then noticed they don't allow you to build a Crusade list there. Typical. Anywho, I think I'm starting to get the hang of the Crusade list. I actually don't need to purchase units in the context of a detachment. I just need to purchase an array of units that will allow me to fill detachments. But when I get a force together for an actual game, then I'm bound by the detachment and point restrictions of that game and my units fill those slots.

I am slowly getting there. I also have to admit I'm a bit annoyed that GW releases a forge world compendium book for 9th and I'll have to spend $65 on a book to unlock two units for my army....ugh.

Which units? Wahapedia might have it already updated and I have a PDF of it

they're supposed to be working on it. For now I just built a patrol detachment. The [big bad swear word] thing about it is that you can't edit some list details (list points, army name) after creating it.

I do a Reinforcements Detachment in Battlescribe.

Sure! I can even give you the list I will bring. 

Think you can do 600pts?

I would be up for a game of 40k.

What are you playing?

I am up for 40k, looking at Crusade or a 2k game

Looking for the Eldar Yvraine model.

What's the minimum point size going to be at the end? I've only got 1k of demons total so far.

There will be games of each size every week so if you only want to do 1k games for a few months as you build more then sure, you can play Combat Patrol and Incursion games

I've offered suggestions that do limit summoning and still applies cost to it. And its fine that you aren't going to use it. I don't have a problem with the rules you set. It just means I'm not going to run CSM. 

It is unfortunate. CSM are in a rough spot regardless. I do look forward to see what you make.

if the players are being dicks, then yes, it can certainly be abused. I don't think anyone here is advocating for that at all if you have read the posts. No one is asking for unlimited summoning. But there are still ways of having summoning without screwing over the chaos players.

That is the issue. I could know you for 20 years and I would still make this same ruling. I cant set up a favoritism situation where I can let you summon because you will be "responsible" with it but limit others, that is unfair and uncalled for. GW has rules set for this, so we either use them or ban them completely. I have been making compromises but you want something and are not compromising here. Sure you dont want unlimited summoning but then again you asked for that earlier, now you just want to summon and have more points than what your opponent gets to start with and as I said we can look at it but it is still not something I am comfortable with as it still creates an unfair advantage and not everyone you play will be okay with it. Sure they may smile and say "sure" but that doesn't mean they are okay with it. 

I suspect that GW will have better summoning rules when the 9th ed chaos book comes out but just like we have 2 wound Deathguard and 1 wound CSM we are stuck waiting.

Orange!

Dark and desaturated orange, think old rust.

Also, I really dig a good purple. Tough color to get right and you nailed it.

Thanks! 

Yes, I will be doing Mulipass Orange as the highlight for the red. I am doing Sakura (a Metallic Pink) for the purple highlights. 

which looks to have come out REALY nice. Now a bright thing but a good contrast to the Royal Purple metallic

I guess we'll just disagree here. I think that the ability to summon those units is built into the cost of the army/character. By taking it away, you are removing an inherent ability of the army. It would be like taking away And They Shall Know No Fear, or removing the Reanimation Protocols. There is a cost associated with Deamonic Rituals, it just isn't points. I've offered quite a few suggestions on how to balance the ability.

As much as I'd like to play my chaos, I don't feel particularly great about having to remove one of my army abilities or hamstring my force to use it. I think for the time being I'll dust off my AdMech as they haven't seen any action in a couple of years, nor paint for that matter.

The points were based off the reinforcement points system, otherwise your lone summoning character would not be sub 100pts when you can get 300pts for free. 

In Age of Sigmar summoning is fully built in and expected. In 40k its an interesting mechanic but it allows for some very bad set up if abused. To prevent abuse we have base rules for it. 

I read someone's anecdotal take on crusade and they talked a little of this.

Here is the passage in question

I am willing to compromise here and if that is adding an Requisition where you get X free summoning points we can discuss that but I want fair games  and as few hard feelings as possible.
