Ok first post updated! And the Mega nobs are getting painted. Whos ready for the klaw?

I am making pretty good progress on my guys. I have decal paper but the image I was planning to use doesn't scale down well into small decals for shoulder pads even though it's a PNG file it still gets fuzzy because there is too much detail. On to plan two! I hope all 10 drop pods are painted by Sept 13 as well

You could try bringing them into Adobe Illustrator and vectorizing them, if I remember correctly there's an auto function for this that would work well enough for your purposes, and then bam, infinite scale-downedness. Be sure to print at high dpi as well

Thanks for the advice!

OverwatchCNC ain't the only one painting:



Trembling in your boots yet?

Heavy flamers don't scare me any more!

Yes mike, we all know you swim in a sea of 2+...GET OVER IT

If only there were a way for Orks to make that a re-rollable 2++...

Hey Everyone,

I'd like to bring up a topic for mulling over as a possible slight rule change. Nothing for this month, just starting a topic of discussion. LoWs. I think we have a pretty good handle on them, thanks to the BAO restrictions and the VP for every 3 HP/wounds. However GW has started the trend of moving awesome characters into the LoW slot, which effectively handicaps people for bringing Draigo/Logan/Ghaz since their death costs more VPs. Assuming this trend continues, what does everyone think about changing our LoW ruleset to be LoWs give the extra VP for wounds/HP, except for characters? Or as an alternative, only super heavies, gargantuan creatures give the extra VPs.

Thoughts?

Tis fine with me, never understood Ghaz's movement to the LoW section anyways

I say no. The rules always seem to be changed to favor Marine players when there books change, this was never an issue when it was only orks. You want a cool character that might die easily, then you have to pay the point penalty as well. At least yours get inv. saves.

Then again, Ill just powerclaw anything that comes my way so I honestly don't care either way.

I mean, to be fair though, this is only coming up because we've had 2 more LoW characters introduced in the past what 3 weeks alone?

From what I remember from the preparations fo rthe august month the logic was that since ghaz was, at the time, the ONLY LoW character so making an exception was something we were going to wait until at least logan comes around. It's just that in this case we got logan AND draigo.

Furthermore given that it's likely we'll see Vect as one in september...

I say leave as is. Since we have a LoW allowed list I don't see a reason for an exception.

Being a long time player, it almost seems like GW is going back to the days when special characters were opponent's permission only, or only at certain point levels.

Well, we might want to update the list, because as standing, neither Logan nor Draigo are allowed since they're not on the list

I'm ok with no draigo

Oh I'm totally for the inclusion of those characters. Just not dropping the extra victory points

What Mike said.

Lords of War are supposed to represent resources that are only used in times of dire need, and I think the escalation bonuses help represent that a bit if one guy is playing without LoW against Draigo/Logan/Vect/et al.

Or does Grimnar roll out the santa sled for every trip to the corner store for more whisky?

I don't really feel the LoW point bump is right. Casey and I played with my Stompa vs. his Wave Serpent Spam. He would have won without the bump in HPs to my Stompa. I also played a screamer star list and both games felt like the stompa was the only thing keeping me in the running. I lost to the Wave Serpent Spam and won against the screamer star. Both games were tons of fun and the hp bump was not a factor in either. It just seems like old dogs with the LoW treatments. I say people bit the big one and play the game as written. We have seen lots of people table the huge LoW/Imperial Knight lists so I think it is back to rock, paper, scissors. Maybe with the new LoW and Character LoW I should say we are now playing rock, paper, scissor, lizard, Spock. Just my two cents.

I agree with Paul. there already is a balancing factor, points cost.

I see nothing wrong with Codex LOWs. In my local gaming store the TO is allowing every thing from now on. No restrictions at all. This month I played against a Heirophant Round 1 and only lost due to first blood because he went first. I still ended up placing 3rd out of 14 in the RTT because of my high battle points. Ended 2-1. 1 and 2 were both 3-0. I say book LOWs can be handled.

Dun-dun - DUUNNNN!!


CCS or PCS, Infantry, & Special weps.

More quaken in yr bootz.

Does ANYONE happen to have a copy of imperial armour 4 second edition I could use at the tourny this weekend? I ordered mine last week, but I don't think it will arrive on time and Id like to use my custom malanthrope :C

Damn right. I was just cruising through your Threads trying to find a clue. Sober, too.

DW? Orks? Criminy, I can't remember who ran those.
...
I am thinking Tall Chris. You had necron wraiths survive a JoWW to the tune of 6 outta 8, right?

Seems like the boozeing didnt effect you that much after all

Well, I planned on coming today, but some things came up where I just won't be able to make it down there. I hope everyone enjoys themselves. G.L. Everybody

Same here, Natalie is sick and my parents are out of town so it's baby duty for me today.

John & Patrick, I tried to get the "Wish You Were Here" album cover picture posted, but my 'Net Fu sucks. edit: Took a picture of my own vinyl copy. Evidence of going through my garage ....




MikeFox's - ork-o-rama took #1 for the second month.
Paul's Imp Fist for best paint
Carlos for Best Imperial
I blank on the Xeno best performer
Dave for Sportsman

Bigger field of players than usual, including some new players. There were two ThunderWolf Cav armies, but Ian didn't go nearly all out as Chris C did for the WolfStar. Courtney's triple WraithKnights have a great paint scheme (black, blue & silver) of which you can see on the FB page. Armies not in attendance, for me, surprisingly, GK, Chaos Ds & bugs. SoB & BA don't count. Otherwise, 3 eldar/Deldar, two/three AM allied with SM combos. 2 orks. 2 Wolves. DAs, 6 or 10 straight up SM or ally combined.
