The 5-(wo)man squad seems pretty fair for the reason you mentioned (Immolator's Transport 6 capacity), I guess it'll be funnier for the IC combinations !

A bit surprised that they didn't at least put "skyfire" as an option on the Exorcist... That would've been the easier one !

Still sad that they haven't released any new unit, or transferred the previous ones into FC... I might have been tempted for a few !!

Let's hope for the future...

No probs, and as for new stuff... well, dream on.. It occurs to me that HB Command squads could be pretty nasty, just as a meat grinder.

Don't sweat it mate, for me it was not a true swap anyways, you asked for help and thus I did, if I really ever be mad...than I'd be all ballistic all over the place like Liberian poo

So you could do with some ig flamer arms? I see if I can have them sent to you this week...

Ok, ok and please

Good lad. Glad to help break the P&M's block.

If I were getting into them, I'd use Mantic Basilea sisters, IG Flamers, and chopped SM packs. That'd do the trick

I ordered my Farsight Enclave 'dex today, and I couldn't help but order a Sister Hospitaller & a HFlamer-toting one.... Those were my favourite models from the range, so for the sake of collection I got tempted

As for meat grinders... You'd sure hack a lot of Orks / Gaunts / Guards with such a squad... But I'm not sure Sisters need help in that area : they already got plenty of flame weapons for that kind of job !

Maybe 4 MM would help gunning down those pesky fliers ?? That's 2/3 of a chance to hit with a squad... not really impressive, but not that bad either...

I definitely think Sisters will struggle against Heldrake armies...

With you on the hospitalier, beautiful. Generally folk are finding triple drake can't cope with sheer volumeof fire of exorcist triple threat. The sense I get with mm is that you could stay at range and hb or get up close and flame; mm are not really the best. Having said that, one squad in a mm immolator is a possibility. I guess it's just going to be about trial and error. I don't have any mm built and, whilst I could convert, flamer just feels like a better use of time and effort

Good to see some optimistic talk about the new SoB codex and not a thread full of whining and arguing...

The release has made me realise how little I know about them though. Interesting.
Their time will come...to be brainwashed and added to my army...

Actually if ever a "folk"faction was due for corruption it is the sisters for sure...how the mighty fall and all that...

Nice. I've just realised that Immolators can swap MM for free now awesome.

You and your cheesecake (or should that be toppentorte (or even topless-torte)?)

A wee message in my fb feed showed me a wip of a great crusader mini. This led me to browsing Hasslefree's store.

Priest much?

And then I found this.




Guess where I'll be asking the wife to do my xmas shopping (although very carefully avoiding the NSFWife stuff )

There is a lot of NSFWife stuff over at hasslefree. On the plus side, when you order from them, they usually include free, disappointing candy with your order! I like that priest mini and I hadn't seen that knight girl before, so I'm glad you posted her. Not that I need any more unpainted minis.

Käsekuchen...

And...I think hasslefree minis should add a warning sign on their shopfront...the have a ton of pure awesome sauce minis ...

Oh, Vik (mildly NSFW):


8 days left on the repurposing! Hop to it!

Ah the famous cheek-cake...

You gonna ask the good lady to cosplay?

I've been following along the entire time, just haven't been posting.

I'll offer some respect to Hasselfree for releasing a mini of a woman in armor that consists of something more than pasties and a G-string. It's still a bit silly but at least it is a full suit.

I'll have my Dark Apostle done this weekend.

Hasslefrees got some great stuff my favourite are the Kindred WW1 Halflings- awesome models. I've also got a great book carrying ghoul for free of them. They've actually got some practically armoured female models as well.

Cool and the gang. There are both scantily and nudily ladies there but somehow even then Kev's stuff rarely feels totally gratuitous.

Also some with regular body shapes too.

Speaking of interesting bodies, Doomhammer is sculpting some sob of his own:

Just 6 days left in contest gang -which also means only a week till I get my man-cave back!

ah yes... i wondered why you didn´´t mentioned him here yet...his stuff is more´n just promising...

Hello, sorry not posted here before.

I wanted to enter your competition but am very glad I didn't now. Wow what a line up.

Will be (unfortunately) less silent from now on.

For shame, Cam, for shame great to have you here.

So kitchen refit is done, literally watching paint dry now (wife has be polishing brass...) and have got to thinking what's next on the old hobby agenda:
1) Sisters - finish vehicles, paint force (!), model up more flamers
2) Avenger Strike Fighter - I quite fancy this, maybe chop up a Valk though cos £$ and curse of FW...
3) Red Hunters - Seriously, why did I not know this chapter existed? I was rooting through the FW chapter upgrades and this lot just sang to me: =I= allied, GK/SoB as battle brothers, selectable chapter tactics, and full of the grime of Vraks? So maybe - just maybe - I might revisit SM. This will require me to get hold of as many skull pads as possible, of course...

Next up is actually defining the new work space. Small painting desk, 2 lamps, and cupboard space for supplies. Watch this space!

And only 4 days of repurposing to go!

Careful, the Red Hunters cannot currently ally with Sisters due to their inability to take an Inquisitor.

Also, it looks like I won't be able to get my repurposing done... I went into it too hastily and didn't have a cohesive plan.

For SHAME Alf! No cats for you.

As for Red Hunters, I draw your attention to this, snipped from feait:

The Question to Forgeworld
I had a question concerning the newly released PDF for "SPACE MARINE CHAPTER TACTICS FOR SIXTH EDITION WARHAMMER 40,000".

For the section that addresses the Red Hunters on the that states the following:
"By this Seal: When using the Allies Matrix, all models in
the Red Hunters detachment count units from Codex: Grey
Knights and Sisters of Battle as Battle Brothers so long as an
Inquisitor is also present in the allied detachment."

Sisters of Battle (now known as Adeptus Sororitas as in the new codex release) no longer have an inquisitor in their codex and haven't since they were part of the Witch Hunters codex. Can you please clarify how a sisters of battle/adeptus sororitas is suppose to be able to take the Red Hunters as allies if they cannot take an inquisitor in their army list?


The Response via Forge World
Thank you for your email. The Chapter Tactics update is fully up to date with the current codex's and is in fact future proofed. All we can say is that it is correct and the Red Hunters Chapter Tactics will make sense at a later date.

...

=][= Codex in the offing perhaps?!

This has been confirmed as a GW Digital Exclusive . Codex Inquisition.

Here's a linky for anyone interested in where Graven gets his knowledge...

http://natfka.blogspot.de/2013/10/revealing-future-of-40k-inquisition.html

Yeah, Sam, that's awesome !!!

Also, it seems to have been confirmed (see here, for instance : http://pinsofwar.com/warhammer-40k-codex-inquisition/ )

Yup, I'm psyked! Thanks moltar for link and yggs for the one with pic! It's like the Codex Ordo Bloggit is for real! Just as long I don't get accused of band wagon-ing.

One other bit of news is the ongoing cave situation. Mrs G thinks she wants to move the cake cupboard. This is good - we share the cave (it's our hobby room) but this should mean more desk as space for me. It does mean a delay on restarting hobbying but I'll live.

Congrats on surviving a re-modeling. I still wish they would print the codex's as well as make them available for digital release. I like having something tangible to use.

SL, remind me to update our Box.net knowledge cache. Thanks.

Brian's box is an amazing place

24 hrs left gang! remember prizes for all finished entries!

Done. I think the pics are a bit dark but it can't be helped right now, it's the best I can offer.



Full series of pics on my Random Projects thread. I'll submit a list of the bitz I used to make this.

I finished a contest project!!! YAY!!! And the Red Sox just won the World Series!!! WHOOO!!!

Awesome dude

Just saw the pic on a decent screen- I don't like it. I'll be home a bit early today so I'll take better pics and post.

Nicely done!
