Looks like WF may have room if you decide to join us.

I'd still like to hear back on if you like to do the Knight fight again ( Note .. New 8th edition rules will be forthcoming )

Can I use my Wraith Knight as a "Counts-As" Imperial Knight? It would be nice to get some use out of my model.

Honestly I don't have a problem with it.

I feel like you might be opening the flood gates. What would it count as? Why couldn't a Paladin be an Atropos then? The game is confusing enough without having to remember what something counts as, everything should be wysiwyg imo.

I see your point. Valid concerns. Not sure if the potential 8th rewrite will change the game.. Damn GW ! So much for playtesting it last year.

I guess I'm leaning ... If we ran out of spare IK for folks I could see allowing ' Count as'. Though I don't see me doing this in any game other than a Wardens game.

How does the rest of the Wardens feel?

Man, I hope you guys are still doing this in 25 years time when I'm retired and can actually get out there...

I hope it's sooner than that.. I don't have 25 years left!

Ah, shaddup.

I thought this was just for kicks and giggles? Is this an actual event?

Yeah, I thought this was just for fun between friends. If so, my magnetized Wraith Knight can be equipped with a sword (Reaper Chain sword), a big gun (Rapid Fire Battle Cannon), a shield (Ion Shield), and two small guns (Heavy Stubbers)... so would fit the Base Paladin fine.

If this is some kind of event, then no, I wouldn't ask.

I just had a prophetic vision! Solar Lion at Adepticon when he is 75

It isn't an official event, but with 12-14 people in one game, it gets a bit hectic. It'd be like trying to run a counts as in Apocalypse, it's really hard for everyone to be on the same page.

OK. Not a problem.

I thought it was really cool.

No argument on that point.

Being the first time we did this I thought it went pretty well. Once we got the hang of the turns it went much faster. Even those whom normally don't play much (or at all ) seemed to have a good time. With the exception of the Moonpie Incident ( for which I take full responsibility ) folks seemed to have fun.

I'm guessing that this next year it should be a little better now that the 'D' weapon isn't in play and quite a few folks have IK's of their own. I still like to hear from more folks if they are in for it.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get the same terrain as I haven't heard anything. If all fails I'll come up with something.

Depending on if I can get the rules balanced I am still considering it as an official event for Adepticon. A lot depends on what the requirements are and if I can get help.

We should probably move this discussion to the 'Knight Fight ' Blog as folks will be fooled that there is actually something happening with my Lamenters

I do like lamenters and have come looking for them. One of my favorites. I Lament their Lack, but I bet there are plenty earlier in the thread.

Thanks for commenting.. Mostly Lamenters. but I do slide off the rails now and then when I'm helping out my group or have a one off project. Next up for them will be the Primarch as a Lamenter ( For when I play them as Vanilla marines ) Besides it looks like the new 8th ed. meta; he is must have with all the super builds the new version is spawning.

Good news.. I have finished the 40 Blue Horrors and the 40 Brimstone's. Now I have enough pinks/blues/ horrors to field in the right splitting combination.

Bad news ( For me ) is that work has blocked Dakka Dakka. So I'm limited to what I can post. So it'll be mostly weekends from now on. I'll try to get pics to share next weekend. Bummer.

I can help you get around work blocks, if you are so inclined to do so.

They probably figured out how much time you were spending on it!

Happy Birthday SL!

BIRTHDAY!

One year I'll remember you guys share a birthday have a great (old) one

Thanks.. another year.

It’s easier to remember when it’s on the same day as your own.

Indeed. Though SL is the oldest of the three of us.

He says he’s the youngest , you old farts just keep forgetting how old you really are .

Yet another birthday? Happy felicitations and salutations!

Bah, no worries, us men get wiser and more distinguished with every notch in out bark. No need for geriatric panic.

Yep. I'm the oldest.

Thanks Y'all. Meph is correct. No panic here. I can still hold my own on the field. Older and wiser.. nope... Meaner.

Still working on my Terrain for Knight Fight. Hopefully I'll have something to show soon.

I must admit I've gotten more cantankerous as I've gotten older. I just don't care as much about what other's think about me as I used to... which is wonderfully liberating (if a bit embarrassing for my wife and kids).
