I had a great time. It was my second ever tournament and first time I was able to complete a tournament. Me and Torg did way better than I expected. Despite getting a nasty cold, it was worth it to meet so many nice people.
Welcome to the "character can no longer use transport because of keyword omission" club. It is irritating as heck that Adrax can no longer ride in impulsors.
There is an appeal to playing a subfaction's "hero" on the table, but they seem to feel the need for heroes to be extra powerful instead of just flavor.
I wonder if the place that coats telescopes and stuff with 99.99% light absorbant carbon nantoube would do minis. Although I don't know how it would react with applying paint over it.
The previewed battleforce boxes look tempting. Especially interested in the Blood Angel one, because I could use all of the contents (except the upgrade sprues).
All the xenos and chaos ones look good, too.
The new boxes have stuff i am interested in, but not interested in paying a tax for upgrade sprues I won't use. GW probably will never release another Marine box set that doesn't have upgrade sprues to inflate price.
I didn't realize my list is treading close to flavor-of-the-month meta stuff. Instead I will bring old marines with only a few primaris. Not going to be "that guy"
I only remember 1 Lt being used. Thinking you may have forgot to deploy 1 or mistakenly put it in the assault intercessor squad. The rerolls would have probably killed my captain and stuff.
I was expecting you to use the chaplain to give a 10 man stalker bolt rifle intercessor squad +1 to hit and wound litanies, dreadnought stratagem for reroll 1's to hit, and firing twice stratagem. That combo would be devastating against marines.
Thank you, it was fun. It seems like all games are pretty much over if there is a turn where 1 side rolls hot and the other cold. Could have easily gone the other way.
Sounds good.
My army will have:
6x Tactical squad of 5
2x Company Veteran squad of 5
Predator
Rhino
Captain with jump pack and Burning Blade relic
Lieutenant with jump pack and Teeth of Terra relic
With the new codex it is possible for Salamander successor hammernators to hit on 2's and wound on 2's against almost anything. Would cost 2-3 CP per phase.
Guess they really want me to buy assault terminators.
Since not even battlescribe is updated, I would rather just wait for my book. Thank you, for the offer. I will spend my time painting the stuff from Indomitus box. I still have 25 bois to finish.
