I certainly have never heard any mention of them in the fluff.

I mean, there are only so many CSMs, and the VAST VAST majority of the Chaos followers seem to be purely mortal humans (and aliens I suppose).

However you never really hear of any great non CSM champions.

So i was talking to a store manager today who has had a review of the new marine dex, now he has said that marine scouts are going to stay as troop choices but are being reduced to WS 3 BS 3. Also that they are going to get an ability called flank march that lets them enter from a board edge from reserves and Will be definatly getting a land speeder type transport vehicle option, now rumours wise i prefer to wait and see and i assumed that scounts would stay the same as DA and BA(?) ones i.e elites ws4 bs4 but he was explaining that the company are very aware that scouts are being used less as elites so have addressed the issue, and ultramarines will be getting a unique character scout sergeant who is used an an 'upgradable sergeant' (similar to the deamon blood hound and pink horror characters) his only comment on that was that he is basically a vindincare assassin. Just thought id add a little more to the rumour mill. Soz if any of this is old news by the way

You CAN cast IoN into combat, same with hellish vigour!

Etheral barding is -1 to movement though : (

But the helm of commandment can be used if that combat is resoloved first AND if sh'e not in base to base.

Overall pretty good result.

(Still no base size for hellsteed)

Was browsing through concept art for Warhammer online and this made me crack up...

Pre-Heresy, did the World Eaters have chaplains?

I was just wondering what everyone thinks of the new druchii models that have been sneak peaked so far, if you havent seen them they are in the rumour round up forum. Ive been playing druchii a long time and after seeing the new models decided to hold out on buying chaos just yet as i can expand my dark elf force in 3 months time with all the new models. My brother is also thinking of selling his wood elves for high elves, so ill have a great enemy to fight.

The new Dreadlord is amazing i fell in love with that model the moment i saw it, and im definately buying one to lead my army. The weapon could be a bit better but the elf himself and his baby dragon are amazing. The new corsairs are great too, i never fielded them before because i dont like buying whole units of metal models 3 at a time due to money, but now i can so i will. Not too keen on the banner but the elves have a really evil look about them - its great.

As to the other models which are getting redone, i suppose i will buy each of the new special characters and the new sorceresses, and a couple of corsair boxes. I already have a sorceress made from the witch hag model from the current CoB, which i will probably buy the new one if its on wheels. New assassins? great because i love these guys so i will buy a few and put them in my units as upgrades.

And for units that wont get redone, warriors is not too bad because they already have good plastic kit and their spears can be used as lance since their basic weapon changes. However, either witch elves, executioners or black guard would of been nice. The current models for each are amazing as is, but again they are around £7 for 3, and i would like to field about 25 of each but have nowhere near that much money at the moment. Given the choice i'd probably go for plastic witch elves.

Finally, the new rule. Looks like it might be hatred for all, eternal hatred for high elves, and +1A on the charge. Could balance out ASF of high elves but then it seems it would overpower a lot of other armies which havent been redone yet, so we might not see that many rules. Personally i prefer hatred of all, eternal hatred of high elves and stubborn or somehting against high elves.

Thats just my rant on the new druchii comments welcome, and what do you think of the new models and changes?

Hi folks,

as I will be playing an Apocalypse game next Saturday with my Nids against the Boyz I would like to ask you for your input on a question that came up.

How do leadership modifiers interact?

As orc mob rule allows orc mobs to use the amount of heads for their leadership value (the max of which is a whole different can of worms that I do not wish to open here, my take on this is it is capped at a max of 10) and the Tyranid psychic power Psychic Scream reduces the leadership value of enemy units in 18" by 1 (cumulative) how does this work? :confused:

Example: 16 Boys are in 14" of five screaming tyranids. Capped leadership by mob rule is 10 (my assumption), now, will the negative modifier of -5 be applied to the capped leadership of 10 and result in a leadership value for the mob of 5 or will the mob rule absorb the negative modifier (LD of 16 -5 = 11 capped to 10)?

I would appreciate any input you can give me (esp. you Orc and Nid players).

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone got any information on what the bullets are like with the empire and dwarf guns?
Are they the round style or the modern age type?
And what size do we think they are, although I highly doubt they're anything like a 7.62 :p

Digby

How have they been working for people since the release of the current codex. I know they used to be super awesome but do people still find them worthwhile?

Just a quick question, can someone tell me what this model is? I had a quick look around the GW shop and couldn't find it, and I couldn't be bothered read through pages of rumours to find out if it is a new model...


Nevermind. found it.

I´m currently making an Chimera to use in my Inquisitor/guard army, and I´m wondering whether I
should use a heavy flamer or an heavy bolter as the hull-mounted weapon.

So what I basically want to know is if the flamer sucks compared to the bolter, because flame fits with the army and even if there is a small gap between the effectiveness of the flamer and the bolter then that is a small price to pay for the fluff.
But if the flamer is useless and a waste of points the I´ll probably take the bolter.

as for tactics I haven´t played that much and I haven´t developed a specific tactic that has to be followed, but I´d like to avoid making a gun-line list and that speaks for the flamer.

Any thoughts?

Do excuse me if I've missed this one somewhere in the many 5th ed new rumour threads and delete if duplicated.

I'm not normally a rumour slinger as a) normally others get there first and b) I don't get overly excited by rumours but...

New metal assault marines are on the horizon according someone I consider to be a reliable source.

Apparently very attractive minis who are 'flying in and landing on bits of rubble'

Make of this what you will.

Hi all.
I was just wondering.
As GW refuse to advertise/stock non core games in thier stores.Because they dont want to dammage the sales of core rules models.

Why not adapt the rule sets of Inquisitor, Necromundia, and even Epic Armageddon. So they can be used with 40k scale models?

This means gamers could use 40k minis in , detailed 'RPG', 'skirmish' , current 40k , and a 'more tacticaly challenging wargame' perhaps.

So more gamers use the 40k minatures in the type of game they prefer.


Just a thought .

TTFN.
Lanrak.

I plan on making some scratch built necron ships, starting hopefully with the Dirge Escort and moving on to the Jackal Escort, the Shroud Cruiser, and finally (if it's doesn't end up too big,) The Harvest ship.

The problem I am encountering is that I don't know how large the ships are supposed to be in regular 40K scale, So I was wondering if anyone knew what scale the models were to real life, or what scale BFG was to WH40K, that way I could get some accurate way of modeling them. I could also model them by figuring out how high a 28MM marine was supposed to be in real life vrs how large the ship would be in real life, for example if a marine was 8 FT tall and the dirge 30 feet long then I could model them appropriately. Any information would be helpfull, thanks.

Hi all,

Just played a casual game and we came up with a little issue in regards to skirmishers. I run archer screens as an empire player. Two questions, first does an friendly archer screen block my line of sight? Second, if it does not can I shoot/charge past a friendly archer screen to an enemy within range?
Since it was a casual game and i would like to do things only that i know i can do we decided to not allow either since this never was an issue and we ingeniously did not have the rulebook on hand.

Hey guys was just wondering what tactics you use against the new Deamons with your OK armies? I just cant seem to beat my mates khorne list (please note this i want to know how to beat all types, not just khorne.)

Cheers for the help.

is it just me or is the new Games workshop US website just one big catalog, theres like such a smalling gaming and article section and to get to it you have to like wade through all these advertisements to buy things.

So my brother plays Black Templars with a number of LRC's and with my new orks I find myself a little bit scared when it comes down to taking out those mothers. Any suggestions?

Here is some idea of what kind of army I run:
-Lots of Sluggas in Trukks
-Huge Mobs of Shootas on foot
-The occasional Nob Bikers of Doom
-Big Mek w/ SAG
-Ghazhgkull

There coming out in Aguest. They have new plastic Corsars. Options are daul hand weapons, crossbows and they are AWSOME. Saw them in the new white dwarf.

The hole army has hatered to everyone and infernal hatered towords high elfs, meanin they never loes there hatered agest high elfs. Its a hole army rule. Have fun.
