I really miss nuking tanks with my Vindicators though...:-(

"Penetrating 6 on the Ordnance table."

"I have 8 Terminators in that crusader"

"No you don't"

"I have a 5+ Invulnerable save"

"You would if you had Terminators, which you don't"

"Oh..."

Oh 4th edition, how you made us all callous bastards...

Well, I guess when I say they nerfed 5th ed tanks, I guess I really mean what they classify defensive and offensive weapons as. I miss that from 4th.

Fair enough-- I play Orks, and my Big Shootas on my BWs dearly miss S5 defensive weaponry.

On the other hand, not too many things were affected. Orks' Big Shootas, Landraiders' Heavy Bolters. and IG Heavy Bolters (but, with Russes at least, you can now move and fire ordnance + 1, so still a net gain for them).

What vehicles do you normally run?

I usually do a mix of Chimeras with autocannons, Leman Russ of various types, and Sentinels. I'm currently putting together a Vendetta. I guess I don't mind the 5th edition rules, I'd personally change what counts as defensive and offensive weapons back to 4th. Seems if we go with that house rule, everybody is equal, and it's fair for everyone.

My Leman Russ variants are as such
-Exterminator
-Executioner
-Demolisher
-Vanquisher
-Demolisher/Punisher/Executioner
-VDR built Leman Russ Earthshaker (yes, that's with a turret direct fire Earthshaker cannon)

Sentinels
2 Autocannon
4 Lascannon
1 Plasma Cannon

Hellhound (old school, proxy for other variants)

Soon to have 2 Vendettas

Manticore

4 Autocannon Chimeras

Baneblade
Shadowsword
Stormlord
Stormhammer made with VDR as my army flagship.

I'm near Columbia and recently dusted off my army and would like to get back to playing some games. I think the reason I gave it up for a while was I didn't have a group of people I could count on playing games with regularly. What were the details on this group you mentioned?

I've not had a chance to game with ArmyC et al yet, but if you want to meet up at Heroes for a game some time, I'm available in the afternoons for gaming most days.

Yea I could definitely go to Heroes and Dragons sometime. I've been there before but have never actually played any there.

I have been hard at work upgrading my game area. I put air conditioning in the garage, and have 4 6'x4' tables available. I have a ton of terrain, including 2 new Imperial Sector city terrain, just finished.

Come one come all. I have the summer off, so I can game most any time. I play Eldar, Space Marines, and am in the process of building Tau and Orc armys.

I can build up to 10,000 points in SM, and 9,000 of Eldar.

I always spring for pizza and beer for new players.

I play with some guys in Charleston. Maybe we can have a Charleston vs Cola Apoc battle sometime. I can guarantee that Charleston will win but it should be fun anyway!

Hey dont forget about us CSRA gamers and Id bet that we would win it in the end

CSRA?

Google is my friend.

Just checking back in. Im back in the states and my brother and I built a 4 x 8 gaming table. Im out in Louisiana visiting, so hopefully soon I can start playing once I get the armys thrown together.

Pizza, Beer, 40K? I feel like this should be an every other weekend thing...

Pizza, beer, and 40k does sound pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind telling the wife I'll be gone all day!

I'll be in the area for 7 weeks, I have ork and marines...Is it possible to get an game once and awhile?

playing tomorrow Saturday in my garage 25 Oak Ridge Drive lugoff 2 pm until whenever...

And I just had to go ahead an switch shifts with somebody tomorrow night to close...

Just curious if there was any of us still around. Im working on my fantasy army and need some help learning the rules. I have a table at my place, no terrian though. Any help would be nice.

Depends are you up in Columbia, I know their scene is really strong, as is ours in the Augusta area.

Im in Sumter, around 30-45 min from Cola depending on where I have to go there.

Figured I'd check in here in Goose Creek (Right outside Charleston) I am in the process of building another couple of tables for the garage to 40k on. Have a decent bit of terrain and an Imperial Sector begging to be built.

Ive got a buddy who plays 40K and WFB who lives in Charleston, Ill send him your way if you're interested of course.

Sorry to bump a dead thread..

Just started 40k in Charleston and looking for someone who's interested in playing a complete noob.. Just looking for a few games to get under my belt before I go to Dotgames / Hobbytown.

I live lexington,,any 40k gamers?
