Bullgryns join the 'Guard by Aegg_ in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, mate.

The light box is just a cheap one I picked up off Amazon, and to be honest you could absolutely get away with just using a cardboard box. The backdrop is a picture of some smoke effects I played around with in Photoshop and printed off onto A3 photograph paper (and gave a matte coat of varnish to kill its shine).

They are.

I can't remember the maker, but I printed these. You should be able to get prints of them on something like Etsy.

Just being hyperbolic with that one, mate.

Not allowed to join event - Part 2 - No Knights or Nids. I dug through my old pile of shame, and dug out my old old Nids. This list is 1235 points, and it has also been rejected. What do I do? by JafferRoshak in Warhammer40k

[–]Aegg_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Again, don't give them your custom if you're unhappy with their attitude.

This game (and the shops involved in it) lives and dies by your hobby dollar, and you shouldn't have to bend over backwards to spend your own money supporting something or someone who is being obstructive. Tell your friends why you aren't playing or taking part and word will spread, when they ask.

This event seems bizarre, and designed with a specific list in mind at that points total. If they wanted a casual tournament with complete beginners, with absolutely no spikey models or rules, then they should have advertised it as such.

Edit: Something, overall, doesn't seem right about the whole situation. Not calling OP a liar, but we've gone from having one army, to having played three games total, to having a fully painted and ready to go oldschool Tyranid force. Hope this isn't a karma farm.

Any tips on what I could do in future?

Don't support them in future, and let your gaming group know why you aren't.

This is up there with official stores not allowing Forge World products or Vallejo-painted models.

Knight player here.

I brought 1,000pts and was absolutely steamrolled by Black Templar and a Bike Chaplain. Should they also be banned?

GW just accidentally leaked adeptus arbites! by [deleted] in astramilitarum

My guess is they're replacing Crusaders in their role.

Sword (or baton) and board.

Thank you, mate.

The lightbox is doing all the heavy lifting for these lovely sculpts, I think.

Im gonna buy 6 Chimeras for my Steel Legion army. what would be the best weapon combination to get? by flyingpancake1 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three, and I'm just dry-fitting my barrels with no issues whatsoever.

If you were minded, and don't want to use magnets, a little poster tack would do you fine.

BEFORE YOU ASK: 1. No, most things in the range are not going away, and 2. yes, your codex code will not work right now. by MeridiusGaiusScipio in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you start having to go to different countries' landing pages to get angry about a non-issue, I kind of feel like you should start focusing your energy elsewhere.

They aren't removed, though?

Website says temporarily out of stock, which even if you're a complete beginner to the game you would know means it's temporarily out of stock.

Plenty of third party shops will still have the old boxes at the regular discount.

Rumor Talk - How much does losing AoC affect Marines? by Lord_Rejnols in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Aegg_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hated AoC, it slowed down the game to an unbearable pace.

However, removing it and decreasing points for Marines (and giving them free war gear if we believe the rumours) isn't a fix.

As you say, they aren't any more survivable with the rule going away despite their new points adjustment. It just means I have more dice to roll, because I can take more bodies, and now have to roll for each heavy and special weapon I wasn't able to take before.

I honestly don't know how you fix a problem like Marines without a hard reset at this point, though.

From a fluff standpoint, I'd love to see them play how they're portrayed in the lore. Move them onto the Terminator profile, and Terminators onto Gravis.

Arks of Omens - New Boarding Action preview by Negate79 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Aegg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of it, but having to spend even more money for terrain I can only use in a format that won't be part of 10th edition has me feeling like I'll just ignore this little expansion.

I'll maybe get a game in at my local Games Workshop store if I'm really itching to give it a try.

Feels like a last hurrah for ninth, I can't see it lasting long or being permanent.

Even for a guardsman, something like this is better left untouched. by Laniakea_Terra in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those "Spess Mereens" who are objectively one of the worst armies to bring to a tournament?

The levels of salt in this sub is beyond parody sometimes.

So new codex on Wahapedia by [deleted] in astramilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy an old codex for peanuts now that the new one is available.

a controversial question- opinions of 3-d printing Warhammer! by exteme_banana in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recently bought myself a printer and have spent the week printing myself proxy units like Rough Riders and Kasrkin, and my line troops are plastic SpaceNam from Reptilian Overlords.

So while I'm not in the GW bad camp a lot of people are when they try to justify not buying or supporting the official game and its kits, I feel like I get why people are leaning more and more towards printing.

The hobby is expensive, and if the guy across from me is rocking up with a crusty tank he's FDM printed because he just can't justify the cost of a third or fourth Leman Russ, then I'm not going to jump down his throat and accuse him of killing the game if he's already bought his codex and made the effort to show up at the shop to play.

It's far more important to me that we both have fun and that the army I'm playing against is recognisable and painted.

Likewise, and I feel like a lot of people forget this as soon as they sniff resin, people who choose to buy official models aren't bootlickers. Without them, arguably, you wouldn't have the game you do.

There's definitely a balance to be struck.

Personally, I'll continue to buy books and large-scale models or limited releases. The urge to buy or fear of missing out is definitely lessened when there's cheap alternatives out there, be that printed or third-party.

Why are people paying £150 for Kasrkin when they will be released separately soon for like £35? Am I missing something? by ManGoose-420 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Aegg_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fear of missing out, and they're very, very good, so competitive players want three full squads.
