If you're going to magnetize your Crisis suits I would suggest getting a pin vise when you order the drill bits/magnets. It's a low cost tool that will make life a whole lot easier as far as magnetizing miniatures are concerned.

Nice!  I like the paint rack system... is it an aftermarket purchase or something you put together?

Stay safe,

The work bench I made but the paint racks I found on amazon. Go on there and search for nail polish racks. Not intially designed for citadel/Vallejo paints but it works perfect for them. 

I saw this post on Bartertown and since I'm sure most of us peruse eBay and the trading sites pretty regularly I thought I would share it in case whoever stole it attempted to sell/trade it. 

Here's a link to the original post : https://www.bartertown.com/trading/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=307893

Hey Guys, I never thought I'd have to make a post like this. :'( My Imperial Guard miniatures were recently removed from my local gaming club. I really hope it was a misunderstanding, I just want them back! If you see these at your local club or on ebay, please let me know!

I play in the New York area. I don't think people in the Wh40k community are the type to steal from each other, I would have happily lent them out if someone needed them.

It took me ten years of sacrificed time to collect and paint these. I remember the long nights, the missed social commitments, the stiff back and shoulders. I remember the happiness I had losing myself and just painting them, forgetting whatever anxiety I might have been going through at the time.

I just want them back, I have so many memories of painting them. Hug your minis, guys.  :(

The TO didn't throw it out, I did it on my own initiative. OFCC really isn't the kind of place for that. It actually still worked pretty well, just because it's more or less the ultimate in MSU, and that's almost always been strong in 40K. Pretty lacking against Vehicles, tho, since Meltabombs ain't what they used to be.

I get it. Went to WOW for the first time yesterday so I'm still pretty new to everything going on here. It really seems like a fun list to run. 

@WestRider

Sounds like that would be a really fun list to run! I was reading on the new assassin rules and could see where a handful of culexus assassins in the front line could make shooting anything off the table really difficult. How did the list work after the TO threw out the character rule? 

Finally getting around to setting up my new hobby work space. Still waiting on my third paint rack and currently building a second work bench to give me more space so it's still very much a WIP but here's a picture of it in its current state.

The Eversor and Vindicare are both good, but to really get use out of them, you need to break the fluff and use multiples. One Vindicare is meh. Three will decapitate many opponents' lists.

That's pretty rad. Really unfluffy but I can see where it would be much more efficient. Seems odd that they are no longer a one per army unit. 

Recently listened to the audio drama 'Assassinorum:The Emperors Judgement' and its description of a eversor was just ridiculous. I'd recommend it if you dig audiobooks.

Yeah, put a photo of some hated celebrity on a banner for that shield drone....lol.

Haha not a bad idea! 

The vindicare was one of my favorite models when I was younger and I remember using him a lot in casual games. Always really enjoyed the imperial assassins atheistic and their fluff. Do you ever run any of the assassins in 8th? 

I think I'm going to swing by the clubhouse tonight after work and make an appearance. I'll be the 6'5" guy with red hair and tattoos so I shouldn't be to hard to spot lol. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! 

@paxmiles

In that case whenever I start playing games I'll have to talk up that one random shield drone as the only model in my army that I like! I was pretty young back then but I actually remember the vindicare assassin being a model that people wanted off the board in 4th ed, only because I used to run one with my DA.

Though if playing with noobs, regarding the psychological one, new players will often target your best painted model, the model you declare as your favorite, or your biggest model, without regard to viability of attack... 

Is this a really a common occurrence? 

@andozane

Haha, right on! I'm glad I made a solid housing/location choice.

@DisruptiveConduct

Thanks for the invite! What would be a good time to show up?

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

It makes sense that their survivability would be circumstantial depending on what they're going up against. I have a Knight and recently acquired a storm surge. It would be a shame If such awesome models weren't viable options. Any tricks to help the large walkers stay alive against lascannon (or their equivalent) heavy armies? 

@andozane

I've got a place in NE Portland. I'm approximately a 5-7 minute drive from GG and pretty much within walking distance of The Portland Game Store. 

Rad. Keep me posted

Thanks for the recommendations, Pestilence. I'll be sure to give them a look. GG sounds rad. Back in FL beer hammer seemed exclusive to house games or after hours at the FLGS.

Woah. I commend you sir. That's a pretty impressive list of grimdark goodness. How do the Knights fair in 8th edition for you? I keep seeing posts that seem to suggest that large walkers/monstrous creatures are having a hard time staying alive in this edition. 

I recently came into possession of some imperial knight bodies and Crisis suit bodies via auction but they are both missing their armaments so I need any leftover weapons for any of the two kits you may have ( I would prefer the knight weapons to have the arm bit but will still consider them without it). In exchange I have the ever popular monies.

I'm in Portland, OR for a point of reference. 

I noticed that they get their Codex this month on the warhammer community page. I'll be preordering it so I'll probably hold off on my first game till I have that in hand. I really dig their aesthetic too and remember wanting to play them back when they were first released.  I'm a fan of anime as well but I really place the bulk of the blame on all those hours spent playing mechwarriors when I was younger.

Honestly not sure. I've never played or built a non-imperium army before I started working on the current tau one. If I did daemons I would probably go slaanesh. What's not to like about hordes of daemonettes? 

All of the 40k factions are so rad that it makes picking just one nigh-impossible. What are you currently running? 

That was a fairly accurate guess. I'm from Panama City Beach originally, which is approximately two hours east of Pensacola. I've lived in quite a few different areas in the US and I can assure you that Florida isn't high on my list of preferred places to be. Luckily the salt zombies are essentially exclusive to South Florida. 

I'm somewhat torn on what I want to play. Word Bearers, Thousand Sons, and an Imperial Agents themed list are currently my top choices.

Due to my indecision I decided to just build a Tau army for now while I get back into the swing of things. 

Hello everyone.

I've recently relocated from Florida to Portland and as I don't know anyone in this city I wanted to take a brief moment to introduce my self.

I'm a new player, more or less. I used to run DA and IG armies back in the 3rd/4th editions era but I haven't played since then. I started to pick up the modeling aspect of the hobby again during 7th edition and now after a long absence from playing the TT game I've decided to get back into it wholeheartedly.

The army I'm building is still very much a WIP but it won't take too much more time for it to be playable. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game soon (hopefully) and meeting the local community here. 

Happy wargaming
