Going to the Bristol Super Major this weekend. Just checked the lists.

81 defilers. Eighty frikkin one.

Updated my scraping script also so I can track things in realtime as the rounds go through to see what is playing strongly and what is not.

I believe from what I read they are pretty strong, some say that new models always have strong rules to sell them and then they nerf them later.
I want one because it looks cool and I think I’m on my way to a daemon engine list.
Let us know how it goes please.
 
Yes but then how will Games workshop sell them for the next 6 months if it gets compleatly nerfed???

Think of the chief execs pay!!
 
Playing my new custodes on Thursday for first time, and also first 30K game in like 8months should be pretty fun aside from it being hot as hell
 
I used to have loads of Warhammer 40K as a teenager. Browsing through this thread sure has given me fomo to get back into somehow.... I imagine it costs a fortune these days though? Lol.

If I was to get back into it... IF... which would be the most forgiving race in terms of painting? I did actually buy some WW2 planes and stuff a few years ago which I really enjoyed building and painting, so I'm thinking I could just do that side of things to begin with.

Necrons, spray silver, wash with nuln oil, drybrush with some canoptek alloy, add some green bits on the weapons. Job done :cry:


This weekends tournament was exactly as expected, defilers everywhere.

First 3 games were great, lost 1 won 2. Great oppenents, a good laugh.

4th game however, against the most salty player ive ever been matched against, he basically accused me of cheating when he flopped his go turn into my ctan. Low and behold a few minutes later I get "randomly" dice checked by the marshals. Basically conceeded at that point as I couldnt be bothered to play against someone like that. Though in hindsight I should have contiued to smash him and make his day truely miserable.

5th game, was absolutely hillarious. It was one of those, where every roll was insane, in the good or the bad, there was no "average" for either player and after explaining my 4th game to him everytime a marshal walked past we were both screaming and pointing at each others dice for checks (obviously joking about it).

Finished 3-2, could have easily been a 4-1 weekend.

Makes sense.

I used to have a Tyranid army and I hated painting it. This was before the internet is what it is today so learning how to actually paint stuff wasn't the same.

Thanks!
 
The 11th edition trailer is pretty awesome. A lot of easter eggs for fans.
Not so excited about the launch box. £185 for what's in it just doesn't feel right, and it's a pretty big rise from 10th which wasn't all that long ago.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not out the hobby, but even as a SM player, who knows Ork players, I don't find myself compelled to pickup the box at that price.

I do wonder if the price will reduce sales vs the Leviathan box.

£185 is what it cost me at the dentist yesterday to the penny, for checkup/hygenist/xray lol. Hoping my stuff comes soon so I can start/carry on with the NL scheme I like. Still unsure what a shine enhancer does differently to gloss varnish but there we go

I still have a craving to paint Nighthaunt!!

So found the very first Warhammer box I purchased Storm Srike and started to build the Nighthaunt models. There was also one Stormcast left :D

Hopefully they end up decent as still think that Nighthaunt black coach is one of the coolest models!!

Played the warhammer open this weekend at the NEC.

Was fun but some major annoyances.

After making top cut, on day 3 I asked what was going on with the "cut within a cut" and a judge told me that top 4 places were already locked (not true). As were a few other players.

This annoyed us as at this point there were about 6 of us in potential contention for 2nd and 3rd spots.

Accordingly as we were basically told that we couldnt rank there any more, we just played casually. Later on it turns out that yes we could have taken top spots (except first as we had taken 1 loss already) but the second bracket within the bracket was simply a pairings lock not a placing lock.

Came 12th overall, and to be honest, my 2 additional were games I could have easily won vs the armies drawn, the one guy I had already beaten previously, and the second was an army I could have just played non-engagement to win, where as thinking we were locked out of top spots I just full sent on turn 1.

Nevermind!
