I’m always down to bring some big bugs to the table.

And the best part is, if you don't win best overall, there's no trouble deciding what goes in the bucket!

It all goes back in the bucket. Even if you win. 

I think it would be pretty easy to do.  You may want to look at https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14063 for an idea of how to do it.

I have one of these and it looks like it might fit under a 40mm base, but I can check.

Back in the day, some of us were trying to make up a "counts as" force using the models in the bucket, as I recall. There has to be enough models in there for several armies, now.

 

That sounds like it would be a great "Lost and the Damned" force.

Looks like they already nerfed the Vect stratagem.

Designer’s Note: This publication went to print before the changes to the Drukhari Stratagem ‘Agents of Vect’ were made. To make this Stratagem different whilst still maintaining game balance, we have decided to make this Stratagem one use only rather than increasing the Command Point cost.

What is vect?

I'm excited for the Elysian Brood Brothers to run with the cult.

I use the enhanced ebooks for iPads and they get the updates from Chapter Approved automatically. So I don’t have to worry about pasting updates into my paper book. But then again I have the paper books for the armies that I play as well so if I’m playing and my tablet dies I have a backup. 

I have a group of Elysians that I plan to use as Brood Brothers for a Genestealer Cult army.

This model looks like the files are broken out into pieces. Don't think scale or dpi would be an issue?

Looking at the people that have made that it looks doable with the scale.  Someone commented that they had to scale the model to 85% to be the same size as the original model.

I have the Monoprice Mini and am running PLA. 

What software do most people use to create their models?  So far I have just grabbed from thingiverse and want to start designing my own bases.

I plan to do something like that toy.  

Where one side of the board is a mountain with an opening.  I’m not sure yet if it’s going to be doors or a waterfall that is split to show an airstrip that is implied going further into the mountain.

Outside the mountain is going to be a couple of sentry guns and a sky shield landing pad.

That looks pretty good for the full 6x4 table, but they don't have a 2x2 that I want to use for a display board.

The ibook editions are updated with each faq and chapter approved update. 

That sounds awesome with the 12' x 12' space. But I think it might work better if it was U shaped, so even slow things could cross the lines. 

It might be a fun excuse to pull out the Hierophant again.

I can't make it tomorrow, but next week I can be there. What time?

When do you normally play at Human’s house?  I can come by and get a game in at the same time.

I'll take them. 

How much for all of them?  I need more basic guys for my next army.

Does it need to be a strip necessarily? There are several great looking landing pad terrain kits. If it is a strip I think it would be more interesting if it were raised somehow... maybe one of those carrier slingshots? You definitely need a tower and some checkerboard radio shelters. Aircraft hangar or elevator? Fly into a waterfall batman style?

That’s a damn cool idea.  Have an edge of the board with a mountain / waterfall that is open and you can see an airstrip lit up in there.  Outside of the mountain is a single landing pad with a tower, surrounded by jungle.  The cultists are in the jungle and the base.

I'm trying to plan out my display board for next year's OFCC.  My idea is to have an army of Genestealer Cultists and Brood Brothers from the Elysians.  I want to build an airstrip and am at a loss for ideas of where to get started on the terrain parts. 

Does anyone have suggestions for terrain pieces that would fit this theme?

During my second game, we overheard Blood Bowl calling “Dice Down”.  We stopped playing 40k, and after cleaning up the table realized we had another hour for the game.  Finished it by having a beer with my opponent in the bar.

I’m going to see how the blood sacrifice works this time.  Two wasps died on my rolling tray.

I might get Yahtzee, my dice normally hate me.
