Very well, I'll bring 1750pts of 40k to face yours, and I'll just keep painting those infinity models at home.

 

Awesome!

Hmm...that could be fun too...

Maybe I will bring both games again.

It usually doesn't take long to table my army😂

I'm still learning the game so any help and pointers are greatly appreciated!

I plan on being there. Does anyone want to play a 1750 point ish game? Trying get 50 or so more models basecoated before Sunday. I keep changing my mind on the color scheme for imperial guard screening units.

Maybe this stuff would help? They have great Rhino kits and sell other LED kits.

In a turn of events I am able to come! Are we playing Cities of Death?  I have a few new models for everyone to shoot at.

Damn that looks great!

Hi folks new to this group and returning to 40k after about 20 years. If I can get back from a trip early enough I'd love to come check out wow. 

I just started back after 15 odd years and you can't go wrong with this group! Everyone has been great and are super helpful teaching me how to play again. So far I have been playing with everyone on Sundays and Tuesdays. There is a member here that sells old/new/used models for a bargain if you want to go that route to start https://mindtaker.org/. Happy Gaming!

I have access to one of those Cricket vinyl cutters so we could make a team logo and print them and/ names and/or anything really onto shirts. The iron on works pretty darn well now days. 

My wife works that night so I'll be absent. Darn kids won't let me play with my plastic toys! Lol

Shapeways does have a Long War Party Pack 3D print. Looks like a keg backpack and stein arms for days!

Also,

"Lucky Hit
Sometimes, despite making best use of available cover and all efforts to conceal your position, a stray shot or
ricochet will nonetheless find its mark. A hit roll of 6 always hits the target, irrespective of any
modifiers that may apply."

I guess I could read more! CA2018 pg 30 Cities of Death:

"Ignoring the Benefits of Cover
Some weapons and models have abilities that ignore the benefit a target might otherwise receive to its saving
throws from being in cover, e.g. ‘units attacked by this weapon do not gain any bonus to their saving throws for
being in cover’ or ‘enemy units do not receive the benefit to their saving throws for being in cover against attacks
made by this model.’ If a model has an ability like this, or is shooting a weapon that has an ability like this, it
makes no difference whether the target is receiving the benefit of soft or hard cover – it gains no bonus to its
saving throws."

Exactly. And many of my normal troops are 3++, so cover doesn't do much for them, which is a big part of this campaign. So those 5+ and 6+ cheap models are suddenly worth more (maybe?) since I can take 3 of them for every one 3++ model of mine to hold objectives and such in the ruins. And flamers are auto-hit so they will be worth more then low AP weapons I normally take.

With lots of cover my thoughts are higher AP weapons, flamers/auto-hit weapons, weapons that ignore cover, weapons that do not need line of sight, and cheap models are "buffed" in this scenario. While costly invulnerable troops, no ap weapons, long range stuff seems to not be the best. 

The challenge of list building and then trying it out in practice to see if it works is one of my favorite parts of this game!

Edit: Also jetpack type might be good too!

If a weapon says, "Enemy units do not receive the benefit of their saving throws for being in cover against attacks made with this weapon" does that work for both hard and soft cover? Just going over list ideas.

We have a large St Patricks party the night before so I will be in recovery mode. Getting older I don't bounce back easily anymore! Hopefully next time/week/tuesday!

...to do something fun. 🙂 

Jokaero Planet of the Apes detachment?

So the rules say 2000 points with 4?!? detachments? Did I read that correctly?

Or are we playing doubles, 1k each (2 detachments)? This is my first time in something like this sorry!

That 4th member is the hardest. It would be hilarious though... Blood Angels of @apathy ales, Mordian Guard of @Jason and I would need another Imperial player to make it work (hint hint @Brandon) and then there is me... Playing Deffwotch... Tricking all the Imperial allies

I would be honored to play with everyone!

This would be a casual league, right? Not a hardcore competition...

So no Castellans?!?

How did the test game go last night? 

Edit: reading it in CA18 not the 7th edition

I would be interested to play, just depends on the day.

I will be there with my Deffwotch beta testing again! If anyone wants to see orks pretend to be Marines let's play a game! 

Is it just the two if us tomorrow? Do you have a game already?

Got an estimate on how many points you bringing yet?

I have 1k ready to go but can do 1250 if you don't mind a proxy or two.

I pick up a couple of tanks tomorrow but I don't think the primer will be dry by 3.

You just want to lose to a smash captain again 😜

I've been playing with one or two of them every game since! They decimated my ranks. So far mine haven't had as much luck, but soon I'll figure them out.
