As we all know, the models available for DCA and Crusadors are expensive and only come in 2 poses, so I did not want to buy them. For my DCA I just made some witches and painted them appropriatly. For my crusadors, i shopped around the GW site, looking for cheep models with swords and shields. I considered the WHF warriors of chaos, but then at my flgs i managed to get a bunch of LOTR easterlings, who all have nice swords and shields. I painted them up in red and black, with some silver in certain places, put big red Inquisition seals on their shields, and called it a day. I have used them in friendly games and local tournys with no issue, but recently, I was planning on taking them to a tourny at a GW store, and someone told me that i would probably not be able to use LOTR minis in GW tournys. I don't understand. They are made by GW, so why wouldn't they be allowed in GW stores?

I play Chaos Space Marines in 40k, and the sorcerors we are able to use can take a flying disc (when given a mark of Tzeetch/demonic steed), but there is no model for it.

I would like to use the follwing model in its place. [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440108a&prodId=prod1050015[/url]

Of course I would remove the shield if possible and replace with a gun and such. Just wondering if this would be allowed.

What is the size of the base the Phantom Titan is supplied with? From what I can tell from the forgeworld picture of the phantom, it is the trygon base, but no information is given on the model itself, other than the fact that the arms dont come with the model.

As the subject line says, who is creating 40K art (any medium), how do you go about it, and what tools do you use?

I'm curious because I'm just getting back into drawing again after about a nine year break. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun (which is small) with Corel Painter Essentials 4 (the stripped down version of Corel Painter).

I put this together for fun. Now I've got the bug to do a few more comics.

I've been discussing with a friend about the meaning of "vanilla" CSM having a close combat weapon in their standard profile, while loyalist marines don't. It's the only difference between them, but I've red that poses a big advantage over the loyalists. I'm not sure what does that mean, since normal CC weapons don't give any special ability unless they're used in pairs, which grants you an extra attack... could it be that having both a pistol and a CC weapon counts as 2 CC weapons, therefor having an extra attack not described on the profile?

Right now im looking at buying two 6x4 games tables to make an 8x6 table. I was thinking of buying the "Imperial fortress wall" but its up there in price. I want to also make a city within the walls of the fortress. I already have a few of the Imperial city pieces i.e Sanctum Imperialis ect. Then inside the city I want to make the Ultramarine Temple / Fort where Marneus Calgar is tellin the Ultrasmurfs what is what. outside the main walls I want some trenches and barbed wire and defenses.

Then I want to make the rest of the terrain have hills and mountains so the other player's can hide units and maneuver.

So now you know the whole Idea, im looking for some alternatives to the 700 euro wall and some easy to place terrain for some depth to the board, or easy ways to make these pieces.

I love my IG, and I also love my Dwarfs, and with enough time I think it'd be fun to implement multiple armies into one. PLEASE do not take this too seriously! It is silly and I realize that but I think it could be fun! This is something I’d probably never bring up at my flgs but with a few friends, perhaps.

Before I get gunned down, just let me say that fluff is out of the question. I don't care about the fact that a Dwarf axe wouldn't be able to do jack squat to hardly anything, including flak armour and they'd get torn to shreds by even lasguns. I just think it'd be a fun little excursion, to be able to throw some Fantasyhammer units into a 40k game or two. All stats would be the same, so yes that means Dwarfs (I'm just using them as an example since it's the only army I'm truly familiar with through and through) would often be on equal footing with Space Marines.

I haven't put a very large amount of thought into this, and I'm sure you, the community, has more knowledge of overall rules for both 40k and Fantasy seeing as how I just started playing 40k little more than a year ago and Fantasy maybe 6 months ago.

Biggest problems I saw:

1. Most Fantasy units probably don't have anything to crack tanks since there's no armor penetration so they have no equipment like Melta weapons and such specifically made for anti-armor. That makes fighting vehicle armies hell for everyone. My remedy? Write up basic rules for some of the weapons i.e. runic dwarf weapons or war machines, and perhaps give some cavalry the spear weapons of the IG Rough Riders.

2. 40k Is very shooty, Fantasy hammer is not. Many armies would get knocked out in the first fusillade of fire from the 40k army. However, most of what I can see of Fantasyhammer still has good armor saves if needed, and perhaps ward spells can be expanded? Plus, many Fantasy armies have a good amount of missile weapons when needed, and some (such as wood elves) have very good special effects like insta-kill arrows which my cannon crews and thanes have often fallen victim to.

3. Movement is very different, including unit coherency. I say, let the units be incoherent! Use the basic movement rules from Fantasyhammer for marching, running, etc. but they shouldn’t need to be in blocks; that would just cause an entire unit to be wiped out by a single ordnance blast. However, since close combat requires the units to all go into base contact anyways, just have them loosely reform if need be for the combat based on the rough estimate of how they were beforehand.

4. Close combat: 40k units use 40k rules, Fantasyhammer use Fantasy rules. Spearmen, ranks, and such would be the same as in Fantasy and the close combat is calculated nearly exactly the same in terms of wounds and such. The part where it gets sticky is resolution… This is where I’m guilty of not reading the rules well enough, my friends usually just calculate it out before I even try and tell me who takes what leadership test to not run away. I understand the points system from Fantasy well enough, just not everything that goes into it. Ranks, standards, and such wouldn’t be present to the 40k army so I don’t really know how that could work, whether the Fantasy rules would be dropped in favor of the simple unit strength fraction 40k leadership test or what. It seems like it would be simpler, sure, but that takes a lot out of the essence of Fantasy close combat, which is what I believe makes the game (along with watching my buddie’s first rank of Glade Guard turn around and realize the entire second rank got pulverized by a well-placed cannonball :D )

5. Magic and dispelling: Magic is, obviously, entirely different. Even Dwarfs, who don’t even use spells, get a dispel pool. Of course, as I said I don’t know any other armies well enough in Fantasy to claim knowledge, so I honestly don’t know how magic casting works except for if a spellcaster does something wrong his head can explode. I’m a bit lost on this one too I suppose, though I imagine homebrew rules for warp vs magic can be pounded out by some veteran players.

Anyways, I just felt like it may be a fun idea for those of us who enjoy throwing fluff to the winds once in a while. Plus, as the rulebook says, “The most important rule is that none of the rules are important,”

I may just be paraphrasing, however.

I found it on this website, which seems to be in Russian or some other eastern bloc language (excuse my lack of knowledge on exotic linguistics - can anyone read it?). I can't tell if they're GW or some other company, but they are pretty sexy badass nonetheless. They were posted in august, maybe the new Eldar codex isn't far away?

Iron Warriors

Pros: Cool color scheme, easy to paint, I like their tactics, and they can be used with my other CSM as long as I cut off Imperial Icons.
Cons: I don't like the gold and silver combo, I'd rather just have silver. Also, Iron warriors are a tad overdone.

Alpha Legion

Pros: Cool color scheme, fun to paint, interesting fluff, and you don't see them very often.
Cons: Cannot be used with other Chaos Space Marines (their color scheme changed) and I don't care much for their tactics.

Seeing as flying a huge ship into the atmosphere to unload 400,000 troops would seem kinda ballsy with all the anti-aircraft fire coming from the planet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429332/3903076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429332/3903076.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429322/3902894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429322/3902894.page GMT
I will get it started

I had

Warpspider exarch: power blades,dual spinners, brawler (+1 str)
Warpspider: Medipac (fnp to the model and one model within 6")

Howling banshee exarch: Executioner, brawler, acrobatics
Howling banshee: brawler

3x Rangers w Crackshot

The coolest thing I had a model do was when my Warpspider exarch shot a terminator to death, then warped to base contact with him (to drag him back to my table edge)

In my opponents turn, an assault cannon/ Chainfist terminator came on the board, shot my warp spider exarch with the assault cannon ( I made all my armour saves as he got no rends) the terminator then charged into the warp spider, who then ended up getting one wound on the termy, who promptly failed his 5+ invul save and died.

That model also has claimed the lives of 2 tau team leaders (one a crisis suit, the other a stealth suit) and 2 other firewarrior equivalents aswell ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429321/3902855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429321/3902855.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429318/3902791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429318/3902791.page GMT What does everyone else use for round time in their local tournaments?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429312/3902578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429312/3902578.page GMT

I know there are other recent developments but I can't seem to remember them.

What do you guys think? What recent stuff has come out that make Space Marines a reality?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429287/3901923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429287/3901923.page GMT SoB troops.
I'll guess it's obvious to you all, but the sisters seem to have the most expensive troop choice in the game.
Not maximum, maybe, but the minimum required points to hold an objective, at 125.
I don't know of another army that has a more expensive minimum troop unit.
But as if that wasn't the worst, a sisters troop choice has no real means to contribute to a fight from their objective until the fight comes to them.

Space marines, at 80 points (the second half of a combat tactics squad) has a missile launcher, or 10 points more for a lascannon.
Or Scouts, who can have all sniper rifles at 75.
Termagaunts have the fleshborer, which might as well be a bolt pistol, But a squad of 10 only cost 50 points. So they aren't much of a sink if they're just objective sitting.
Warrior brood can manage 100 points to get a single 36 inch range gun (barbed strangler) while sisters would need 130 for the same with a heavy bolter.
Orks can easily squeeze out a troop choice for around 60 points, or less with gretchin.
Guardsmen not only have a number of cheap troops choices, but are designed to still be able to be useful when the rest of the army is assaulting an enemy across the board with morters, lascannons, autocannons and the like.

I suppose you could argue that the sisters trade the ability to kill enemies at range for the ability to survive when fired upon at range, but it's a dang expensive trade.
Especially for a unit that (ideally) survives through all 5-7 rounds of combat in a game.

But maybe I'm thinking about more typical tactics, and the Battle sisters troops aren't designed for them.
It's starting to look like the best idea for my girls is to place my objectives or starting line as close as possible to the enemy.
Not because I'm a CC army, of course not, but so that they're that likely to end up in bolter range at the beginning/sooner in the fight.
I need more 40k friends so I can test this.

Complaining about my favorite army... again. :facepalm: ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429282/3901825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429282/3901825.page GMT
