Bloodthirster bloodbath....for the love of!...

Forge Host -- Way too expensive on top of the model cost, I'd much rather have a 4th grinder (and change!)

Bloodbath -- Again, not real great for what you pay for, but hell if you've got 8 thirsters than why the hell not!

Ha! See! Now all those whiny Chaos players can stop being whiny Chaos players. Now they can (in Apocalypse), whenever they want (in Apocalypse), bring Daemons and Chaos Marines (in Apocalypse) at the same time (in Apocalypse).

When the Forge of Souls sends forth its Soul Grinders in great Forge Hosts...

Jesus Christ who writes this gak... C.S. Goto?

8 Blood Thirsters would make short work of an Armoured Company. heck, I'd pay to see that. If it was, like, actually happening.

I kinda like the Defiler Kingdom's Preview 02 ruleset. 9 Deep Striking monster things that can charge on the turn they arrive.

Oh, HBMC, your unwarranted and misplaced scorn never gets old.

I don't get the Apcoalypse thing-how do you like, FIT, nine defilers on a board anyway?

Get a bigger board

That, or make it a rousing game of Floorhammer!

It is a crime that they printed this and the Bloodthirster Bloodbath but refused to print the adventures of BLOODSTORM! RAVENBLADE! OBLITERATOR! OF! THE! UNIVERSE!

A crime...

Yes but then you have a whole slew of different data sheets like

These will be really good in 5th edition.

You haven't even seen the 5th ed. rules!!! Stop making blatantly erroneous claims before the point values come out!!!

I've playtested the Bloodbath in 15 Apoc games yesterday and I can say without a doubt they're awesome but you have to move them in a perfect octagon with 7.5" sides and charge them in alphabetic order by name.

That 16th bloodbath run is going to be ... delicious

Wait, they announced the results of the contest, and Bloodstorm! RAVENBLADE! wasn't accepted?!?

"Kornan the Barbarous." I feel like we're back in Rogue Trader.

Who worries about points cost in Apocalypse games?

/rolls eyes

The blood bath sheet in particular is a huge waste of file space at a minimum. 8 Bloodthirsters, the worst looking model of the greater demons, who has 8 Bloodthirsters? I'd like to see meet one of these writers so I can ask them, "what the hell is this gak?"

what contest.....?

ant btw.: BLOODthirster BLOODbath??? That sounds like GTA4 making fun of wargamers.

I for one would be very, very happy to see my troops get a free Fall Back _away_ from the gigantic Blood thirster swarm.

As for the Grinder Mob- assaulting the turn they arrive would be more than worth 200 points if you had 4 or more of those puppies. Time to break out the Spawn toys, kids. That one that can't charge is dead lascannonbait on the enemy turn, though.

As for fitting all those Defilers- If you're playing at that points value, you should be playing on at least 8'x12'. I just played a good 20K Apoc battle on those dimensions, and it was just right (even with an Endless Swarm on the table). Plenty of room to maneuver, but not so spacious that infantry were useless.

Well when you have a group of people playing Apoc, you can come up with 3 soulgrinders or 8 bloodthirsters easily... though there are some cray folks out there with that themselves....

Does that mean that my warrented and rightly placed scorn has gotten old?

Oh dear...

'Fraid so. There have been too many legitimate targets over the years.
