What about War Hydras in space?

War Hydras in Space?

That'd be a better army concept than a couple of the things GW's floated to date.

Oh come on now, War Hydras in Space? That would be just like Space Dinosaurs; rediculous.



Rediculous levels of awesome that is.

'zactly! Space Dinosaurs with LASERS on their heads!

frickin' LASERS

Necron Monolith can't be effictively destroyed with a strength 8 weapon - you can keep shooting it and the rules state that "each 'weapon destroyed' result inflicted on the Monolith reduces the number of shots at each target by -1".

So - no rules for destroying the weapon, no rules for destroying the Power Matrix (particle whip).

You could house rule it, but by the letter of the law (including the Necron errata/FAQ) there is nothing that can be done other than to make it phase out if you can only glance it.

So, from a tactical perspective, keep the hell away from them and concentrate on the phase out!

Armour 14 vehicles are exactly what lances were made for...

At least normal eldar have swooping hawks that can potentially destroy a Monolith with their grenade packs!

If the thread can't stay on topic, it should be closed.

Tell you what, next time I see a fellow Goth or one of those Emo's sacrificing people, purifying their souls and consuming them to extend their own lifespan out of fear of what happens when they die, I'll let you know.

Oh, and please don't confuse Emo's with us Goths. We are very different breed from each other. This is to the world at large rather than just your good self by the way!

No, Emos and Goths inhabit the same social sphere and aren't significantly different in behaviours. They just dress differently and write different sorts of the same bad poetry I know, i've met and known both.


But on topic, the Dark Eldar concept needs to be explained succintly. Original, defiant Eldar who refused to change and are now stuck in their ways, eternally enslaved by a Chaos god they created. The rest needs to be played down or at least used tastefully. For Space Emperors sake, to capture requisition points in Dawn of War they literally stand around the point in a circle and slit their wrists. Over the top Goth/emo influence.

My favorite is when music magazines do Emo-centric issues and they all have an article "Things To Cut Into Your Arm."

You've got to be joking. Please tell me you're joking.

I once knew I guy who cut his girlfriend's name into his arm. Luckily I already looked down on him, so no change in opinion was required.

*sigh* This thread is going nowhere productive and fast.

Mostly because there is nothing new to report.

As long as its open we'll have fun with it. The meaningfull discussion has been had already.


Dreadnote, I love that sig picture.

Thanks. The only problem with it is that I had to crop scotland out to make it signature-sized - but then again, who'd mourn the loss of scotland?
