Tabletop Warhammer?

[aceytrixx]

Yeah it's as good as I can do at 500pts. I've submitted my list so thats it done. 500pts is a struggle when you have to take 2 troops and an hq.

 

[aceytrixx]

Based on all the rumours over on faeit then I quite like more of 7th edition rumours. I like that unbound armies specifically require permission, Overwatch being -2 bs and invun saves against d weapons unless you roll a 6. Obviously it's all rumours but I'm getting more hopefull.

I'm also liking the 3 book release for the rules. Means carrying the rules about won't be a slog. I'll pre order mine at the store on Saturday.

 

[Brabbinho]

Yup, it sounds like it could be a good improvement on 6th. Not that my guards snapshots will improve

 

[aceytrixx]

My marines will which I think does make sense as they would be better at reacting. Of course every squad has at least 1 flamer in it anyway which always helps.

 

[Kyrne]

Ugh more pain for assault then, if the snapshot stuff is true.

 

[chriscubed]

Not sure how reliable faeit is, but the -2 BS sounds interesting.. does that mean Orks can't overwatch?

 

[cwgk91]

I hope not, wouldn't be very orky... surely they shoot any anything that moves! I like to believe that they do better under pressure

 

[Kyrne]

Capped at bs1 i guess.

 

[aceytrixx]

Yeah that's what id say.

Just finished blood and fire the Grimaldus novella set after helsreach. Ever since that book I've wanted to use Grimaldus in some way and that hasn't changed at all. I'm pretty sure I'll only ever paint him as I doubt I'd play Templars but he's a brilliant character. Obviously ADB's writing helps quite a bit with that.

 

[Brabbinho]

Anyone preordered?

 

[aceytrixx]

Just back from the first two games of my tourney. Got outshot by tyranids and tabled on my first game coz my dice were awful. 2nd game was against dark angels which I ended up winning largely thanks to him focusing on my Sternguard instead of my troops and my assault squad tying up his devestators. His libby was with them who challenged my power sword equipped Sergeant and killed each other.

I also pre ordered the book and both sets of cards

 

[lordhughes]

Not preordered but like the presentation of the set. Will probably grab the cards too.

 

[Kyrne]

So like whats for pre-order? Just the rules or is the new starter set up?

 

[aceytrixx]

Just the rules. There was three folk buying the £200 edition at the store

 

[cwgk91]

I have to say, the collectors edn does tempt me... think I will save my pennies though and just go for the standard rulebook. Spend the other £150 on astra

 

[Destination]

It is just rules and a couple of packs of cards with some art books, no models no army, no dice, just six plastic steel looking objective tokens?
No models at all?
At least the sixth let you fight right out of the box.

I will wait for an ebook version me thinks.

 

[aceytrixx]

Supposedly August for the starter set.

On another note think I've finally got a 1500 pt non vulkan list I'm happy with 5 pods 4 heavy flamers 3 flyers and 2 thunderfires

 

[aceytrixx]

So lost to guard, lost to necrons, beat orks and lost to orks. Overall 2wins 4 losses. Really missed the drop pods made getting into range a nightmare. Next one is in 5 weeks and it's 2000pts and going to allow super heavies and forge world. Details will be finalised next week after 7th is out.

Some awesome models coming out mortarion, vulkan, fire drakes, salamanders contemptor, Crazy looking ad mech transporter, Gal Vorbak

 

[Shamikebab]

Mortarion looks good but I prefer Kabuki Models version of him. Love everything else though! Must have Vulkan.
