Swooping Phoenixes

feeds@yuku.com (Adoni Zedek) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:42:11 GMT

Well, I finally finished painting my Swooping Hawks. For the longest time they sat on my shelf, and I had no idea how to paint them. So I asked my wife if she'd paint the Exarch for me. She did, and I painted the rest to match. So here they are in all their glory!

Strength of Dreadnought Powerfists?

feeds@yuku.com (Adoni Zedek) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:18:01 GMT

The infamous BattleBible lists Space Marine dreadnoughts as coming with the option for a Power Claw, a S10 weapon that allows a tear attack against armored targets. But the datafaxes all list it as a S8 Powerfist, and Dark Millenium gives it the tear attack. Was this ever officially changed, or is this another case of Battlebible "tampering"?

So, the big question is, did Grimtail finally put the screwdriver into the fuse box one too many times?

How do I fight the Toasters?

feeds@yuku.com (Adoni Zedek) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:28:42 GMT

My gaming buddy is adding Necrons as his next army, so I was wondering what is the generally accepted Best Way to fight them? On the one hand, they're relatively weak in hand-to-hand combat. On the other hand, they're T5, and you only hit with your own strength. Plus, when they get within a few inches of you, you suddenly can't hit the broad side of a barn. But their ranged weapons are rather nasty, even if they are relatively short ranged.

Also, does the...

Marvel Super Heroes in 40K

feeds@yuku.com (carcerdominus) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:46:52 GMT

Just picked up about 30 Heroclix marvel minis that are the right size for 40k and thought it would be fun to make rules in 40k for them. I have a old marvel rule set with stats that tended to run 1through 10 so it is easy to convert just have to get creative with the powers. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Shooting at Incoming Spore Mines

feeds@yuku.com (Adoni Zedek) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 10:12:47 GMT

You can shoot at Swooping Hawks and Gargoyles as they fly high, or return from flying high, if you have troops on overwatch. Can you shoot at spore mines on overwatch on the turn they are launched from the biovore? I mean shooting at them at maximum range, before they come close enough to inflict damage as they explode. If so, would you resolve the...

Falcon Datafax from WD 216

feeds@yuku.com (Syzyx) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 18:05:51 GMT

So I have run across a .pdf containing supposed scans of all the datafaxes ever printed for 2nd ed. While I've been able to doublecheck everything else in the .pdf and it comes out correct, the Falcon in this collection is only 150 points base as opposed to the 198 that is printed on the one I have (from the back of the assembly instruction booklet). My research shows that this colour datafax is probably from WD 216. Is the 150 point value correct or is this some kind of bizarre photoshop...

Weapon Reference List

feeds@yuku.com (carcerdominus) — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:55:53 GMT

I have been working on a new weapons list for use during the game, you know the card stock one you refere to in game. The old one dosnt have half the new weapons in the new codice so if any one is interrested in a copy let me know. This is just the start after I go throw all of mine and Lances codices it should be huge.

5th edition 40k

feeds@yuku.com (carcerdominus) — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:15:02 GMT

I was just reading a rumor about the new rules that may be coming out in the next two months and it seems that GW is finally going back to rules like 2nd edition. They say that they realize that they have toned down the rules a little to much.

Here is what the rumor say will be in it.

Orks as a serious army.

feeds@yuku.com (Der Krieg Geist) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:02:44 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone has tried to build a 40K ork army that is serious. Now I know that they have a lot of inherent silliness built in but at least from the fluff, they take themselves seriously. I've been collecting odd bits and pieces of orks since early 2nd ed and I have a notion to do a Bloodaxe/Badmoon/Goff army. I'm thinking less comic relief and ramshackle. Still little to no uniformity, but more organized. Do folks think that it would ruin the overall appeal of them...

Ripper swarms...ever used them?

feeds@yuku.com (Adoni Zedek) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:54:18 GMT

I like the idea of the ripper swarms, and something that can remove cover from your opponents is very nice. Unfortunately, they have a move of 4, which is slower than just about anything but a biovore, and so you'd really only be removing your own cover. Again, as they are slow, most of your troops will be in front of them anyways.

Has anyone ever faced them? Used them? Developed new rules for them that make them useful? (But not overpowered)
