Wasn't Combat Patrol the one intorduced in WD many moons ago in 3.5 or 4th ed? And then Killzone was the internet attempt to recreate it in 5th ed?

I think I'm missing what Brian refers to as "we"- I probably need a gaming group, or at least some friends who haven't gone and married, had kids, and/or moved away

So, I got the new Crusade of fire book. 2 special flier rules for guard, the rest is mostly Marine stuff..not really so special rules either, not even any new terrain pics, not to mention I need to have a Planetary Empires set to use the new campaign rules....

....On the other hand, I also got a copy of the new Imperial Infantryman's handbook, and it's great.

They are all variations that use the base 40K rules. Google search any of the terms for the rulesets.

Combat Patrol, AKA "40k in 40 minutes" or "Patrol Clash" uses a modified FOC and puts limitations (like no ordinance weapons).

Killzone, In The Emperor's Name, and a half dozen others are a "Kill Team" game, playing 40K on a Necromunda Scale.

Necromunda, Gorkamorka. Classic GW skirmish games.

Inquisimunda. Playing "Inquisitor" on the 28mm scale instead of 54mm. Search for Inq28 for even more.

Apocalypse, Cityfight, Planetfall, Spearhead. All variations on 40K, for specific scenarios. Spearhead, for example, is all about fielding a LOT of tanks.

-----------

My point is to never be constrained, and make your own fun. If you have no local group, then you have to go find them. I sat here in Boston for 3 years, before getting uppity and starting my own home-based campaign group.

My fun is painting and modeling, I just don't care about playing as much.

I went got married waited 10 years had kids and waited until they grew up to about 10 years old. I grew my own group with house rules I dictate and play what I want when I want......Strangely I hardly ever play and just love modelling and painting. They just give me an excuse to collect extra armies. LOL

my point was only that there is an oversaturation of fething marine products already, why the hell does any Marine player NEED more? I understand the FW 30k stuff is unique, but the mainstream plastic line is just getting stupid big. The new landspeeder doesn't even look good at all, and I've played against one of the newer bumblebee fliers, they suck in-game.

The bias towrd the SM has always been a bone of contention, they get all the kit all the nice new shiny stuff and even get ridiculous rules to make them unbeatable.

BUT

the standard SM cost 16 points = 10 man squad 160 points with average of 5 shots on target

Guardsman cost 5 points each = 30 men 150 points with average of 10 shots on target

I agree completely with you that GW are unbelievably bias to SM, but I have seen some amazing luck happen for the enemy. I guess that is the factor there, luck. Everyone else has to rely on it except the blessed SM.

LOL, yes I know all to well, I have to paint more miniatures AND lose more games LOL
Fluffwise, if there were as many marines as there are miniatures for them, the nutless freaks would destroy all of the Imperial worlds themselves.

Agreed. In the Emperor's name is my 40K Skirmish game of choice, though there's a lot to be said for playing Inquisitor in 28mm.

Do you remember WD once had a article on the ultramarines, it pictured the whole chapter, was cool. Mind you they would now be reduced to about 6 tactical units to allow for all the guys that have had to be retrained to fly this stuff!!!!!

I (probably wrongly) thought the chapters where 1000 men total. How many needed to crew these things??

I recon there are more than 1000 times that many ultramarines on earth right now!!!! LOL

Rivet Wars looks neat enough...though I'm about Kickstartered out. I have Zombicide and Super Dungeon Explore yet to paint up...so I dont need anymore miniatures based boardgames....Though I did get in on the Guilds of Cadwallon kickstarter and will be watching for the Confrontation Phoenix kickstarter later this year...too many projects!

you could also use probably a wire brush... if done carefully it might just produce enough wood grain...

I saw the 2D version of the hobbit since the 3D version always seems a bit darker and gives me a headache... I sort of think some scenes like the ridiculously long Goblin Town chase would have been a lot more interesting in 3D. As well as just being better eye candy.

Favorite part? The Dwarves were awesome. Gollum was not bad either. I was a bit disappointed with the design of Erebor (too cartoonish) but like the elf eye candy.

Also, parts of the movie made me seriously regret I was not tripping magic mushrooms at the time.
