I just had one of the best games of Warhammer 40K of my life. IG versus Necrons. No spamming, no net lists, no tournament-list beatdowns. Just a fun, fluffy, bring what you want game, with epic smack talk, and plenty of hot dice action.

Oh, and boneless chicken wings and waffle fries. Because it's all about The Chickening.

I am in such a good mood.

**Camkierhi**

Long may it continue.

Sounds like you found 40k again.

**Gitsplitta**

Love to hear that Brian! "The Chickening"...

Going to miss you this weekend my friend. :(

**Solar_lion**

Good time! that's what it's about!

Cool stuff, do a BatRep! I love HOT (dice) ACTION

All my games are like this. Sans chicken wings...

**deadmeat85**

So I just Finished all 80+ pages in a day and a half. I must say, phenomenal work on every thing. The Ordanatus, the conversions on everything, just wow. Love the IG stuff as well as all the terrain. Brian you are an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

Spoiler:

**Briancj**

Thanks, folks.

Gits, I will really be missing everyone this weekend. Hanging out with everyone really is the reason to go to Adepticon. Good luck and kick ass.

**Gitsplitta**

I'll do my best. It'll be a challenge without the most tactically savvy person on our entire team by my side!

**Briancj**

Looks like you did well, Gits.

Two notes:

1) Waiting for the

Not-Imperial-Guard codex to come out has put the stop order on ALL of my modelling. I need this damn thing to come out, so I can see what I need to ditch and purge. I'm already pissed about the loss of artillery options, and other bs like chimeras going *UP* in cost.

Sigh.

2) I am a bad, bad man.

**Theophony**

Of course the chimera has gone up in price, they've sold enough of those and want people to see the taurox

as being such a good value that they'll splurge and buy dozens of that thing.

**inmygravenimage**

^ Let's also not forget, "let's put it up in price so every other codex is out of step with it..." *sigh*

**shasolenzabi**

Also, the whole making every squad that has a chance to do real damage to 5 guys with one special or heavy weapon, add another 5 guys to get another weapon, is so bland and blah! Glad I am not using the Taurox, but to use the Wyvern, I would have to use that new 49.50 codex with the silly name

**Briancj**

Hee hee!

**RandyMcStab**

OOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOHHH

What ya gonna build with that?

**inmygravenimage**

Someone's going to be a busy bee...

**dsteingass**

I always wondered how small and detailed those things can make...this'll be interesting!

**shasolenzabi**

Is that,,,,,is that a 3D printer????

I'd say it can get decently detailed

**monkeytroll**

Well, this should be fun..........

**Sageheart**

3D printer for the win!

**shasolenzabi**

Brian will be making his own minis from now on!

**Theophony**

Make he twenties instead

(I jest, the model looks good, now get producing)

Whoops, I may have caused some confusion.

The tank in the image I linked was from another dakkanaut using a similar 3D printer, Brian did not do that tank.

**Briancj**

I have been spending a goodly amount of time learning about digital fabrication. I am fortunate enough to be in a place where all the software, tools, and teach are available to me at a very low cost, or even free (like this loan).

The image of of a "Cupcake CNC", one of the first commercial kit 3d printers available. Compared to what's available now, it is very primitive, with a tiny printing bed. But, in theory, it still works.

**Dr H**

Ooo, very interested to see what comes of this.

**DiDDe**

This will surely be interesting.

**M0rdain**

If only it could print edible cookies

**Briancj**

Ahem.

*tap tap*

I paid $10 MORE for this version of the Imperial Guard (feth you, IMPERIAL GUARD) codex.

I got over a dozen unit entries LESS.

I got LESS fluff.

I got LESS options.

Stormtroopers (again, don't even start) got LESS cool. Missions were cool.

Yes, it is nice to have a Tank Commander, sure it is amusing that you can take 6 Leman Russ as HQ, but is there a rule, like other codexii, to use "something that is not a troop" as troops? No.

Tauroxes suck. Don't even pretend.

NOT A SINGLE UNIT WITH INTERCEPTOR (Flyers don't count, they're flyers) IN THE ENTIRE GOD-DAMN CODEX.

The only thing I am happy for is that by taking such a nerf bat to the gonads, the last hangers-on will jump off of the IG bandwagon, leaving only the faithful.

For the Emperor.

PS: Hydras got ass-fethed.

PPS: Yes, I'm upset.

**Camkierhi**

Bummer.

**inmygravenimage**

This is why I sold my guard off before the new 'dex... I am faithless.
