Gitsplitta when has 40k ever been equitable? It seems like a foreign concept when applied to 40k, lol.

Why cant it be simple.

Last saturday i had a game of 40k with the new rules ... We each in turn had 2 turns from 9:30am til 1:30pm

That not including the set up time.

Streamlining the rules to make everyone happy making the game take longer means less time for players to try other games....brilliant

I'm hopeful for it. Losing Jaws sucks purely because it was just so fun to suck down Carnifexes. pop pop pop!

Hope they come out with some clever powers.

We have a new guy at our Indy GW store and he's cool. He used to run the Nottingham store and he knows all the big guys over at GW. If you're waiting for me to be the next rumor guy, don't hold your breath. He didn't bite even on the Gorkanaut, so apparently he knows what an NDA is all about. His models are also quite gorgeous.

In hobby news, the Fools have an Assault squad and a half Tac in the building process.

Excellent.. Still waitingto see a ' Fool's vehicle'

Don't hold your breath for the power to come back. GW not know for listening to customer feed back IMO! BA lost all their special powers too! No Blood Lance, WoS.

Solar don't hold your breath. Moonpie painting or even building any vehicle is rather, unheard of. The fact that the Executioners ever received anything with an armor value is still a surprise to me.

You know what, this would be more convincing if it came from Moonpie himself.

Moonpie, you've been playing Space Wolves for many many years now, would you care to tell Solar Lion how many vehicles of ANY kind you have completely built and painted. Wait, let me rephrase that. How many vehicles do you have put together? Hold up, one more time. How many space wolf "things" do you own in any form, that can be considered a vehicle?

Lets also keep in mind he probably has 15k worth of space wolves.

I will compose my reply in Juvyk, one of the languages of the Rout:
"GRRR! SNARL! RAWR!! GRR! ARG!

To translate to rest of you: I have indeed in my previous Space Wolves army had vehicles. I don't remember how many vehicles it had or how many I built. Probably at least one, because I hated it. Those were when my paint scheme was entirely drybrushed. They also paid my rent once, when I sold them to a crafty Brit.

Right now I have no vehicles for any army other than Executioners, which I'm not totally pleased with. I have 2 drop pods and a Storm Talon that could conceivably happen.

I do have a dreadnought. So..BAM! Suck my hull points!

Ohhh.. Fools Drop pod would be cool!

Yes It would.

Want more

Actually, I like the fact that everyone is in the same power set. Much more equitable.

I would be okay if special codices were able to exchange their rolled powers for an "alternative Primaris Power", but that's living in a world where I can have my cake and eat it too.

@Solar: I think a Fools Drop Pod would look pretty cool too. How do you do the alternating colors though? There are four sides. Where does the split happen?

@ MissDee: Working on more. I've got an assault squad built except for the jump packs. I primed up 6 tac squad with a librarian. That's on the first coat of pink. I've only screwed up where the quartering goes like twice or three times.

@Alfndrake: I'm pretty confident they'll have a cool new set of powers. I'm hoping they still give a lot of good anti-psyker stuff, because that was one of the things I liked about the last codex.

My plan is to paint the jump packs separate from the bodies at least until I get it mostly basecoated and shaded. Anybody have a good way to paint loose jump packs?

I would quarter them at the doors. that way they are much more unique than using the supports.

As for JP.. I built a 'jig' .. ok it's really a plastic pipe that has paperclips sticking out of them. I glue a JP ( or anything ) to the end ( superglue) and paint. This way I can do multiples quickly and not handle the part. I do this with heads, arms , backpacks dread weapons ect. I'll varnish them as well before gluing in place.

Always attach the Paper Clip end to a part you will be gluing anyway. For small pieces I drill a small hole to help hold the clip ( like in the backpack back - where you’ll never see it.)

I have several of these 'jigs' so I can paint and let them dry while I work on another component.

Put green stuff in the hole part and when its set drill a hole and then glue in a length of paper clip

Ice got me a b-day present: FLASH GITZ!!!

So, given they are for the army we both share...

Oooh... I'm jealous!

Git has a new competition coming up. I will likely compete. This post is to get him more hits, because I am obviously a bigger hit than him

U da Man!

Clearly. Thanks moonpie!

Moonie.... Are you still collecting SW's?

@Solar: Always and forever collecting Space Wolves.

Always and forever.

Moonpie you should get that tattoo'd on your body some where.

When I worked at GW it was common wisdom that if you got a GW related tattoo that you would very soon after lose your job. I saw it happen too.

Good thing you don't work there anymore.

Thoughts on the flying wolf boat chariot being lead by wolves?

It was a pretty great job actually. It was the only one to ever give me benefits, actually quite good health insurance, until I got promoted to my current position. It was a little weird though. Our training manual was a codex and had pictures of space marines.

As far as the chariot goes...I have only seen a crappy little pic of it, but it's not my favorite. I also don't really go in for the Thunderwolf Cav either. The new, which I guess I isn't so new anymore, Fenrisian Wolves are BA, but riding a giant wolf? Not so much.

The Logan Model looks rad, but I wish they would have kept the same dynamism as the old model had. How awesome was it to have a termie in a full tilt sprint?

The new flyer I actually totally dig. The gun boat is based on the same principle of the A-10 Warthog aka let's build a BA gun first priority, second priority is oh I guess it's a plane too so let's figure out how to make it fly. The troop carrier is totally awesome as well, like a long ship.

We'll see how it looks when I get the WD or see it in person. Yes, I do still buy the White Dwarfs.

Had a battle at GW yesterday. Warriors of Chaos v. my Empire. Got beat up on. Did a little bit of my own beating.

More images in gallery I just created.

Mine:


His:


Hopefully it will create some excitement about having fully painted minis on the field. It's just way better that way.

New, more detailed pictures of the Wolf Chariot are out. Am I bad person for kind of digging it?

I mean, you kind of were anyways, so it doesn't really hurt.
