Arguably rail rifles are a waste in pathfinders because you generally only want to use your market lights with them but unless you can do anything with the points. The other thing is potentially swapping your broadside for all missiles I've seen many people have great success with them.

Just preordered the new blood angels v tyranids boxset for £60. Bargain!

Kyrne · 28 Nov 2014 at 22:17

60 where from?

Brabbinho · 28 Nov 2014 at 22:43

The outpost. They have 20% all products and free postage over £50. It's my local independent but also a good mail order company

Just search for "the outpost Sheffield"

Kyrne · 29 Nov 2014 at 01:15

Nice, im wakefield so shall order from there. Thanks.

Cant seem to find it on there website?

Brabbinho · 29 Nov 2014 at 07:32

They might have sold out. Try wargames emporium. They Also do 20% off all orders

Kyrne · 29 Nov 2014 at 10:22

All seem to be sold out, to slow i guess. Ta anyway

Brabbinho · 29 Nov 2014 at 13:26

It looks like another limited run so a lot of folks will have impulse bought

chriscubed · 29 Nov 2014 at 16:04

Just been looking for this, can't find it anywhere except GW either. I need to pick up the 7th rules at some point, I may just have to buy *another* dark vengeance instead if I can't get this at a reasonable price.

Parmesan · 29 Nov 2014 at 17:30

Me and a friend have ordered a box, he wants to start nids, I want to start BA, flog the rules all sorted, works out a good price in the end.

Brabbinho · 29 Nov 2014 at 18:41

Even at 75 quid its still good value

Kyrne · 29 Nov 2014 at 19:28

Yeah probs just have to buy one from local GW.

Brabbinho · 29 Nov 2014 at 20:53

Price wise:

Captain £12-15
Dreadnaught £28
Terminators: £28
Death Company £25

Broodlord: £12-15
Carnefex: £32.50
Genestealers: £18
Warriors: £31

Rulebook: £25-35

That's pretty much £200 of stuff for £75. I know GW have a bad rep for pricing but some of the recent sets/bundles have been pretty decent

Kiyoshi · 29 Nov 2014 at 23:01

Whilst that may be true, it depends on whether you think their individual prices are worth what GW sell them for

cwgk91 · 29 Nov 2014 at 23:07

If I wanted BA or a brood lord then Id definitely have gone for it... unfortunately I didn't want either

they are epic looking models though

Had to have a massive swap around with points, as its part of a large planetary campaign (using the hex tiles) lots of territory's were taken by imperium the week before so I had to drop down to 600 points, but had to roll a 4+ to give one unit in my chart any rule from the special rules. Ended up giving a squad of fire warriors destroyer weapons

Was playing against wolves, he destroyed nearly 3 quarters of my chart purely in close combat, but my ethereal did its work and helped to through out enough shots till give me a 5-3 win on victory points, nabbed slay the warlord and first blood early on. Playing again Friday think my opponent is playing grey Knights :s

lordhughes · 3 Dec 2014 at 12:51

Got a rematch tonight with the guy I played a week or two ago, going to swap my list around a bit possibly put my lord on a bike with MoN instead of MoK and drop in a hellbrute instead of raptors or instead of havocs, if i take raptors I will probably just start them on the table in cover and pounce them once someone gets in range as the (deep striking) raptor squad just became a very expensive Lord delivery system, even though my Lord did a good amount of damage the raptors where next to useless.

What are people opinions on squads like havocs, a purely heavy weapon squad, they are quite expensive for a squad that has to stay largely still but the fire power is useful providing they don't have to move.

lordhughes · 5 Dec 2014 at 08:37

well I lost again 7-5, so much closer than my previous game but again my Lord scored most of those. Forgefiend survived the first round this time which was nice and kept his units busy long enough for a few sneaky cultists to get line breaker at the end.

My chaos lord w/ raptors once again made his points back and then some, eliminated a dev squad, scout squad, some Space marines and ezekial himself.

I really need to actually refine my list, maybe run two forge/mauler fiends and another squad of CSM at a minimum.

All in all a fun game
