thats not how that works.

i'll still only have 15 attacks since it say "from the previous assualt phase." so your friend (if he's playing in accordence to all the 40k rules)no matter how hard he tries will never get the "omg i now have 650 attacks because ive killed 645 of your + my 5 base attacks!"

Um, isn't that what he said?

"Adds attacks equal to how many troops killed last turn"

NOT

"Adds attacks equal to how many troops killed since the start of the game"

he said combo and i went "NO YOUR NOT PLAYING THE GAME!!!!!!OMGWTFBBQ!!"

sorry

I just bought some LotR movement trays for my gaunts, and they work really well, as moving units is x10 faster and coz I nolonger pile everything base to base, I have more hungry nids getting into battle, I recommend them for hordes. Im looking at buying more for my eldar and orks

Would you be so kind to take some pics? I'm curious to see how they look like.

Ya a movement tray of like 30 would be very nice. you hear that GW!

Makeing inset movement trays:
Step 1: Cut out a piec of Fiberboard to the size you need and mark the location of your bases on the board.

Step 2: Take a suitably sized Forstner Drill bit and put it in the drill press. Clamp your movement tray to the table. Set the drill press to the correct depth (try to find Fiberboard thick enough to set the bases into), and drill out the holes.

Step3: Bevel the movement trays edges and decorate to taste.

That is the guy with some iniative way. We want the buy it coz it's there way.

Can we get a summary of what is fact. i stopped following this since page 28. and i feel like im missing a lot of info. lol

There was a post a little while back about a company that made skirmishing horde movement trays.
I cant remember their name but I do know that they do a nifty line in space corridors and etc etc

Round1: 5 attacks, kill 5
Round2: 10 attacks, kill 8
Round3: 13 attacks, kill 10
Round4: 15 attacks, kill 12
Round5: 17 attacks, kill 15 etc etc etc.

So it CAN combo-up over a very long period, assuming each round you kill more than you did the previous round. I guess it's capped at the maximum number you can get in his killzone.

It could also go
Round6: 20 attacks, kill 2 (bad dice!)
Round7: 7 attacks...

M.

Thanks Mock that's what I was driving at.


It's just something we thought would be funny to see. Like clowns bursting into flames or rational thought at Dakka.

There is rational thought here. It's just swimming through a sea of stupid and is often concealed from view by the waves of irrational conclusions.

Seriously though, Dakka's been a delightful refreshing breeze to me after the sites where everyone is SO SERIOUS about the fact that their chosen army is OBVIOUSLY THE BEST but is also MASSIVELY NERFED by every rules change, FAQ and sculpt. At least here if you want super serious you can just head to YMDC.

Back on-topic though... Any guesses as to how the rules will be changed to make dakkafex less attractive?

Dakkafex doesn't need to be nerfed. Everything else just needs to be made better...and by better I mean usefull.

It doesn't need to be nerfed, but it's going to be anyway because GW is going to "listen to it's customers" by listening to imperial players complain about one of the few models thats still a threat to them and nerf it to appease them.

THIS ^^

And also, because everyone who doesn't magnetise already made three and will need to buy new fexes.

I came up with an idea for 40k movement trays for skirmishers in this thread at Warseer - http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181496&page=3

Never went anywhere I'm afraid though.

Very interesting, these could be very usefull for huge swarms.

Or if their like me, just snap all the limbs off and replace them.

Or stick it is some simple green for about 3 weeks

On the other hand, it IS a good excuse to buy, model and paint more awesome carnifexes... Hmmm...

If it used a magnet and not a screw it's a winner as you can just pop off the killed mini's or add to mobing up or rezed necrons

I still cannot believe they are coming out with another metal boxed set. If it's a new sculpt, I'll cry. Why? Why EVER use metal when multi-part plastics look better and are better to assemble??!

Because metal is cheaper in the short run and easier to make.

Oh, and they can charge more. Well, sometimes... **coughGreatswordscough**

So we're three months out from the new codex. Why haven't we starting seeing the de rigueur rumors of game-breaking rules changes like, say, T8 6W fexes with Breath of the Hive that uses the Apoc template and kills any infantry model under the template on a 2+ regardless of toughness?

Actually, that's pretty much what the stat list that got leaked was. Brimstone from Warseer doesn't think those rumors hold water, and that's not particularly surprising. I'm not sure why he's the authority on this matter, but I guess I'll roll with it.

Brimstone and Harry from Warseer are normally about 95% spot on with their rumblings. If either of those two imply or hint at something it's taken seriously over there. Of course with GW's newer (and IMO for the better) tightening of their leaks even Brim and Harry don't have much to say but as they reveal more I'll for sure keep dakkadakka updated.

I take rumors with a grain of salt but if it comes from either of those two I'll actually plan purchases based on what they say with confidence that I won't have made a mistake.

The usual suspects don't have much to say about Tyranids. At this point I feel like we know as much or more about Beasts of Chaos.

Note to GW: This isn't really building anticipation among us customers. Now, if you were teasing us with even a couple pics or snippets of info, you'd probably see people getting excited and staying excited right through to release.

Or at least some silhouettes of models that you haven't released yet, like they did for the new Warrior kit way, way back before the 3rd edition dex came out and they ran teasers in Black Gobbo magazine.
