<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Total Noob Question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Total Noob Question WYSIWYG that didn't really answer the rookie question I have.
Which upgrades can be/must be physically represented on the model? For instance, if I give my Deffkoptas the Bigboom option, is there actually a little bomb I need to stick on the kopta? Or do I just say, "This dude has a bigboom. Deal with it." Does the little bomb even exist in the modeling world?

Thanks for humoring a freshman, guys.

In your example of a deffkopta, a WYSIWYG kopta should have the correct main weapon (Big Shoota or Rokkit, preferably shown as twin-linked, but not needed) and yes, some kind of Bomb to represent the Big Bom upgrade. If you buy a buzzsaw upgrade, it should really show some kind of extra big choppy CCW

Weaponry/equipment that a unit always has should be modelled, but is less needed, as the opponent knows it is there. (e.g. twin-linked on a koptas main weapon - if you just put one rokkit, a kopta ALWAYS has a twin-linked weapon, so thats fine)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723517.page GMT Re:Total Noob Question WYSIWYG.

For your question If it has the upgrade but no other koptas have it then you need to model it on there so you avoid the accusation/forget that the bigboom guy is dead already. Use an extra stormboy pack, or use greenstuff. If you give all the koptas the bigboom upgrade then I'm a bit more willing to except not having it on there.

I wouldn't bother with adding frag grenades to every single SM as they all come with it standard. However don't tell me mid game that that missle launcher is a flamer...if its a flamer use the flamer model...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723550.page GMT Total Noob Question WYSIWYG-wise to model one-shot items (Big Boms, HK missiles etc) megnetised, so they can be removed when used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723597.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/723597.page GMT Total Noob Question

Here's another one for yall to answer:
Mad Dok Grotsnik. He has a power klaw. He has a 'urty syringe. Do these things both count as CC weapons, giving him an extra attack?
And when his attacks are made, do I--the Ork player--say I am using his S8 (from the PK) or the 4+ (from the syringe) to wound? Or what?

Am I even making sense here? Or am I just thinking about this too hard? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/724531.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/724531.page GMT Re:Total Noob Question

They are both special CC weapons, so they can't be used together to get the bonus for +1 attack.

In addition, an power klaw counts as a power fist in all respects, so if you're using a power klaw you can only gain the bonus attack for two weapons if the model is equipped with another power klaw.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/724694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/724694.page GMT Re:Total Noob Question

But where can I get GW magnets?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/725608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/725608.page GMT Total Noob Question

Not sure that GW makes magnets but many interweb sites sell them dirt cheap. I used amazingmagnets for my last order but any site that you can get rare earth magnets will work. I would stick with the disc magnets as they are going to be they easiest to install and dont forget to make sure you dont screw up the polarity!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/727239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/727239.page GMT Total Noob Question GW dosn't sell magnets. If they do though, you can be sure they will charge double what other places have them for.
Look for Rare Earth Magnets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/727309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240649/727309.page GMT Re:Total Noob Question
