Geeks & Games had a bunch of Indomitus boxes for pre-order when I went in today. Set up my pre-order.

Payment processing failed, then it said "out of stock". good job, GW...

Pe-order sold out while payment was authorizing. Thanks for nothing, GW.

I added some PL for another HQ I like my HQ to be tougher to kill. Wish i could give him a 2nd WL trait.

Just wait until I get some eradicators and Redemptor Dreadnought for more melta/flamer

I edited the list to include the recent PL changes and randomized unit selection. I have no doubt the indomitus stuff will all go up 1-2 PL when the new codex hits. Dracones Solis is just faux latin for Sun Dragons, a Salamander successor chapter. Using successor chapter tactics: Whirlwind of Rage: units gain an additional hit on unmodified hit rolls of 6 until the end of the turn if they heroically intervene, charge, are charged Hungry For Battle: +1 to all advance and charge rolls 1 win out of 3 battles 63 PL 8 crusade points 0 RP out of 8 RP total -3 RP: supply limit -2 RP: relics -3 RP: WL traits + HQ + Cikar Ur'Venn - Captain in Gravis Armor [6 PL, +1 crusade points]: 4 xp - The Imperium's Sword Sholta Ekshor - Librarian [6 PL, +5 crusade points]: 6 xp - 4) Drakeskin, 5) Fury of Nocturne, Bolt pistol, Force sword, Jump Pack, Warlord: Anvil of Strength, Obsidian Aquila, Master-Crafted Armor, Inspiring Hero + Troops + Infiltrator Squad [6 PL]: 3 xp Infiltrator Squad [6 PL] Tactical Squad [5 PL]: 1 xp Combi-flamer, Powerfist, Melta gun Assault Intercessor Squad [5 PL] Tactical Squad [5 PL]: 1 xp Fatigued, Power sword, Combi-flamer, Melta gun + Elites + Xuv'sar Hasdar'Get - Judiciar [4 PL, +2 crusade points]: 1 xp - Artificer Armor, Champion of Humanity + Heavy Support + Eradicator Squad [5 PL]: 1 xp Eradicator Squad [5 PL] + Fast Attack + Outriders [6 PL]: 3 xp Battle-Weary Rhino [4 PL] EDIT: I messed up when rolling Sholta's trait and relic. I didn't give him a chapter specific relic. Adjusted his crusade point total accordingly.

ya, new players hate Master Artisans because it looks like cheating.

I would probably look like a douche because I made my Marines fluffy by putting combi-flamer and meltagun in every tactical squad.

I would like to try crusade, but not sure what I will have by the time 9th drops.

If I get a box I will trade the necrons for marine stuff. If nobody wants to trade I will just start a Necron army, hehe.

Reminds of Celestine the Living Saint and her bodyguards. They at least had half their head attached to the front torso and half to the back, but I did have to apply the hair separate.

They posted a limit on number of boxes per order to 3. Don't know if it will be enforced.

I assume this is to stop people exploiting measuring from the hull for movement and turret/sponson for LoS (assuming the turret sticks out farther than the hull) EDIT: they probably just mean the distance measured from the point sticking out, not the rotational distance

I am thinking that Fragstorm Grenade Launchers are a trap. They are only really more effective than storm bolters against units of 11+ models and in the 6" between rapid fire range of bolters and max range of the grenades, but can not be used in close combat. Since Dreadnoughts always rapid fire bolt weapons, grenades should be avoided. EDIT: I made this post because I just learned fragstorm grenade launchers are blast weapons.

it does not specify characters. Anything that intervenes is targetable.

I like how Heroic Intervention now makes the character a valid target for charging units. No more free kills for Adrax though.

I am debating getting the box set and converting the chaplain + a bike into a chaplain on bike or just waiting for the chaplain on bike release.

Use Phobos Librarian to Temporal Corridor Reivers with assault rifles then a warlord with "Shoot and Fade" allowing them to move again after firing. It could allow them to shoot of whatever is holding the objective and then move onto it or hit-and-run.

Having a Reiver squad with grappling hooks is looking mighty appealing now.

I think mobility will key this edition. Probably why all of the Primaris Marine transports have "fly" keyword. Use the terrain to block LoS and fly over it to the objective. Impulsor going to be very powerful by hiding then deploying troops after moving.

I watched some top players talking about how LoS is a problem with the new rules. I just wonder why they are going into the terrain instead of standing just outside it, if they don't want to be shot at. Put objectives at the farside of the terrain, away from the opponent. So you can stand outside the terrain, with no LoS, and still score objective. This is not rocket science.

I keep seeing people saying HQ are less valuable because they are more vulnerable in 9th, but in my Salamander army I already charge forward with them and use them to draw fire because they are durable.

I am not looking for anything specific, because I have only recently started the hobby. I am not sure how many there are or how good their condition is, but there are at least several hundred to maybe 1000 random cards. About 35 are Cal Ripen JR spanning his rookie year through '99. Around 25 cards that include Griffey Jr, Nolan Ryan, Albert Belle, Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds, erc... Most of the rest are probably worthless, but there are a lot of them.

yes, the box set's rulebook has special artwork on the cover.

I have a bunch of 89-99 Baseball cards. They aren't really vintage, but some are worth more than nothing. I was a fan of Cal Ripken Jr., so a bunch of his cards. If you are trading any Warhammer 40k stuff I would definitely be interested.
