I've had the weekend to think about the new rules, how they'll affect the game, and the quality of Games Workshop's eBook editions.<br>

And I'm excited. Also still alive. It's only been . . . two years? Yikes. Well, I went the entire 6th Edition without playing a single game. Sadness. But the future is upon us, and it contains only war. The biggest thing that grabbed me about 7th Edition so far is the new Force Organization changes. They give me a lot of leeway I always wanted. But I'll talk about that a bit more once I've properly devoured the books and formulated thoughts.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-41836669975036934662012-07-28T23:00:00.000-05:002012-07-28T23:00:00.403-05:00Power Sword or Power Fist?Over at <a href="http://jaysworkshop-agemmanjw.blogspot.com/">Jay's Workshop</a> there's a nice analysis of the different <a href="http://jaysworkshop-agemmanjw.blogspot.com/2012/07/hmmm-fist-or-blade.html">Power Weapon choices</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-85178802012642778252012-07-28T18:21:00.000-05:002012-07-28T18:21:49.990-05:00Observations on PlayStopped in the local store today to watch some games, and, because I'm the way I am, throw in rules assists. I guess I'm not <i>really</i> surprised, but in the few hours I watched, it was Marines. Lots of Marines. One game was Space Marines v. Space Marines, a second was Space Marines v. Chaos Space Marines (with Traitor Guard ally), and the third was Necrons v. Space Marines. There were more Terminators out there than you'd have expected if they were 5th Edition games. 6th Edition has definitely made them more valuable (that is, worth the points now).<br>

<br />
Welcome to E2K, the new 2000 point Dual-FOC EXTERMINATUS list.<br />
<br />
You make this FOC twice:<br />
<ul>
<li>1x Brother-Captain w/ OSR</li>
<li>3x Techmarines w/ OSR</li>
<li>2x 5-man Strike Squads</li>
</ul>
Add in Inquisitor Lord Karamazov as the "War Lord" to your main FOC and you'll have 1840 points . . . just enough to deny one more Techmarine w/ OSR. Oh well. That leaves you 160 points to give you a Psyfleman Dread, or a non-portered Dreadknight or maybe an Interceptor squad. Or one of those new Fortification pieces! Have fun with it!<br />
<br />
Yes. NINE Orbit Strikes per turn. And Karamazov can nuke your own guys to not scatter! So that's why you take Interceptors. Have them zip up into Assault with an enemy unit and drop d3 Large Blasts on them the next turn. Say goodbye to them Boyz or Infantry Platoons! Do you want to take out an enemy vehicle? Get one model up close to a vehicle and keep him at the 2" distance from the rest of the squad. Lance strike your faithful Marine and hit the Vehicle with his sacrifice!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-18010794497976835972012-07-20T17:00:00.000-05:002014-05-24T20:27:27.545-05:00Sixth Edition Unit Types: Artillery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
Day five of the unit overview: Artillery. I'll be up front here and admit I'm not a huge fan of Artillery. Too many things can go wrong with the unit. This is why despite loving the Thunderfire Cannon, I'd rather go with a Land Raider Achilles to get one despite the cost being 3 times as much. Besides, the Land Raider Achilles simply looks amazing. But I can't just go without covering the unit type if I've done the rest, so here goes.<br>

This is likely since they don't really interact at all in close combat. They just sit there and take the Chainfists to their rear armour. But <a href="http://sonsoftaurus.blogspot.com/">Sons of Taurus</a> has a good idea for a house rule.<br />
<br />
From <a href="http://sonsoftaurus.blogspot.com/2012/07/6th-ed-impressions-part-ten.html">6th Ed Impressions, Part Ten - Instrumental Changes</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="color: #626262; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Vehicle overwatch - </i><span style="color: #626262; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Regular vehicles can't fire overwatch. If they're having overwatch, I think it would have been cool to carry over a defensive weapons rule, and clarify certain weapons as qualifying, letting them fire overwatch. Things like pintle-mounted storm/combi-bolters, the shuricats on eldar vehicles and other weak, maneuverable weapons. It wouldn't help much, but it would be cool, help keep the vehicle player interested, and more reason for people to put those cool heavy stubbers on tanks.</span>
</blockquote>
I would take this and clarify it a little bit. Defensive weapons would of course have to be able to target the unit in their arc of fire at the beginning of the Charge. It'd really only make people consider what angle they decide to engage your vehicle from.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-68116983517366758922012-07-19T17:00:00.000-05:002014-05-24T20:32:04.383-05:00Sixth Edition Unit Types: Beasts & Cavalry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've opened up the Techmarine blisters and this is what they look like inside. Three sprues and the base. They were not identical, but I only took pictures of one. Some had more flash than others, and some had bits closer to the edges. I ended up cutting chunks out of the frame for each and doing my best to separate out the bits before snipping from the sprue completely. Some were a bit . . . awkward.<br>

I've taken my first step down a dark road: I've gotten my first Finecast models. My three Techmarines for the EXTERMINATUS are here. If you're confused by those pics as to where the parts stop and the flash begins, you aren't alone! I'm sure they'll clean up well, and the detail so far looks good. I'm honestly surprised they survived the mailbox and didn't just melt together in the heat down here in Florida.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-84896170170516564132012-07-17T17:00:00.000-05:002012-07-17T17:00:00.174-05:00Sixth Edition Unit Types: Bikes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week I'm going to cover the various unit types you'll find in Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition. I'll break down what they can do in each phase and how this differs from 5th Edition. Let's start this off with the most basic: Infantry.<br>

Instead of analysis on the state of the game, how about a house rule based on the 6th Edition test rules?<br>

Currently (and I highly suspect this to be the case) Sisters of Battle look like they are only supposed to be Allies. Why? Because no matter how many squads you have, no matter how many points you spend, you get 1d6 Faith Points per turn. Awesome if you're running a Canoness, minimum squad of Battle Sisters and the one unit you actually want to spend the points (Faith and otherwise) on as an Allied detachment. If you're doing an Apocalypse game you're hosed. But I have some possible solutions below!<br>

Rules Thoughts6th Edition is out! Woo!<br>

You already knew that? I always get caught up reading codices and new books. I've been slowly going through the new rules. I've not been in much of a rush for a few reasons:<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: white;">1) I haven't played in a while so there's no reason to push myself to devour them all at once, </span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;">2) this allows me to think over what I've learned and process the new stuff properly without mucking it up, and </span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;">3) general laziness.</span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, I'm actually thinking of visiting the local 40k haunt this weekend to observe some gaming. No matter how much you read and analyze in a book and on the Internet, nothing helps you figure out the rules better than putting models on the table. Or in this case, I'll at least find out the interpretations others are using and see how some non-Inquisitorial armies function on the plywood tableau. </span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;">But since I'm already writing now and the weekend is still days out, I'll put down some items I found particularly noteworthy in the new rules. Before that, though, I find the book to be well done. The pages are colourful, and many of the pages have your typical "inspiring" Imperial lines on them. It's a nice touch. On to some of my analysis of 6th Edition:</span><br>

So yeah. Quick and Dirty. It was less quick and also less dirty than I originally planned, but I like to think the results were decent (for my work). The belt and chest emblem I should brighten up a little bit with some more bronze, and I'm thinking the "Elite" symbol around the skull needs to be silver. Possibly the same on the belt. In an attempt to make the silver helmet brighter, I used some black wash on the armor around it to make the contrast higher. Perhaps I should make that "hood" around the helmet Blue to increase the contrast instead?<br>

The next time I paint I should be able to finish the Quick-and-Dirty paint job and post pics. One thing I've decided to do on the next terminator I put together: don't put the arms on until the painting is done. Those things are <i>obnoxious</i> to paint around.</p>

But then I was looking through <a href="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/">Forge World</a> and found a guy I'd forgotten about: <a href="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine-Infantry-Accessories/VALTHEX-ASTRAL-CLAWS-MASTER-OF-THE-FORGE.html">Valthex</a>. Winning. Also, I'm really tempted to pick up some of the <a href="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space-Marine-Dreadnoughts/RELIC-CONTEMPTOR-DREADNOUGHT-BODY.html">Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts</a> to use for my Dreads.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573547689954370962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156749176460736480.post-58235421941159605962012-06-07T21:15:00.000-05:002012-06-07T21:17:22.526-05:00Color TestHey look, Space Marines!<br>

So let's look at what I've got here for my Steel Dragons. First, I'll throw in the disclaimer: These are a rush job. We'll discuss the first two in more detail after this, so let's focus a little more on the heads.<br>

Yeah. I got side-tracked. However, I painted today! To quote Sam: "OMG! WTF!?!?! Is it chilly outside in Pensacola? Because that's hell . . . and it might have frozen over." Anyhow, it wasn't that much besides a refresher hour ("This is what a brush is, and this is what a Space Marine model looks like."). I finished up a quick-and-dirty color test for a Steel Dragons Tactical Marine. I used a slightly different variation of the colors (boltgun, bronze, and blue) on the bolter and backpack from the last one I finished. Hopefully this is the start of more frequent painting for me.<br>
