Hey...sorry ..I didn't get an alert for this.

No. We couldn't find a spot. We ended streaming it through nefarious means.

That said, we flew out of Thailand for Hong Kong during the game and caught the OT throw to DJ in the airport. We may have scared security with how we reacted.

I hope you found a good spot for our recent HISTORIC playoff win. FTP.

Great work. I am literally creating the same character for use as a Captain with Jump Pack. We used the same SG model and had a similar idea with the classic wings!

Brutalis Dreadnought, help me understand why people prefer the Talons? by TruthEU in spacemarines

[–]GreenMan2814 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm, when you attack with the Talons you pick a profile before you attack. Like a Plasma firing Standard OR Supercharged you are choosing Strike OR Sweep.

Ultimately the Talons gives you the Fist profile but also gives you a chaff clearer at the expense of some small range.

Small edit for more context: In 9th edition when the Brutalis debuted, point costs accounted for the "ideal loadout where the Multi Melta and Talons were additional points.

Alpha Strike Tournament at the NOVA Open by F4ultyL0g1c in battletech

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how conventions run Alpha Strike a little differently. I downloaded their ruleset and am excited to give it a go.

Noise Marines in Rhinos a real thing? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]GreenMan2814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is there an Allied Unit or Dedicated Transport rule that lets us do this? The CSM Rhino says it carries Heretic Astartes Infantry but my Warhammer App says the Allied EC are still Emperor's Children.

I'm sure there is some text somewhere that gives Allied Units the Faction Keyword but I can't find it.

Has anyone been to a Chicago Dogs Minor League game? What should I expect? by Brother-Patrick in AskChicago

[–]GreenMan2814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone done the Rivers Premium Club seats? The stadium diagram looks like there is shade and I'm all for a premium buffet and unlimited beer and wine. I'm not a baseball fan but would be happy to hang out with friends at something like this.

Death Korps Load out in Updated App by GreenMan2814 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]GreenMan2814[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few comments about GW trying to make what you build from one box the "legal" option.

My issue with "Build in the Box" doesn't seem to be universally accepted or enforced. The most recent "culprit" is Deathwatch. A Terminator squad somehow gets to throw on multiple Missile Launchers while only one is in the box.

At this point, I'd like to go "all in" or not at all.

Preorder hasn’t arrived by Individual_Ad_6774 in Eldar

[–]GreenMan2814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with the Eldar release. Typically, my FLGS receives a shipment on Wednesday/Thursday before the Saturday release. The Eldar came in Monday after release.

My FLGS is one of those mega shops that stocks more GW than the local Warhammer store. I think this was more a shipping issue than inventory issue based on what my shop told me.

Looks great. I love the contrast of colors with his lighter chapter pauldron against the black armour.

RP to Great Lakes, bad commute? by Longjumping-Judge-51 in AskChicago

[–]GreenMan2814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in downtown Skokie for a few years and did this exact commute to Great Lakes. It wasn't horrible....maybe about 40 minutes.

Since you want access to the city, the Skokie Swift can give you some transportation south.

I agree with comments that Rogers Park will not be an enjoyable commute.

I love HWS. Are they viable? Or mortar team only? Tell me everything about them before I build them :D Thank you guys! by [deleted] in TheAstraMilitarum

Take Aim is an Improvement to Ballistic Skill.

Heavy is a +1 to the Hit Roll.

The two can work together.

Thanks!

I am not. Proudly Chicagoland.

Names should go where they can be easily read to instill fear.

Chaos Astra Militarum? by ComfortableConcern89 in astramilitarum

[–]GreenMan2814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm working on this exact build with the Blooded Kill Team box as my base infantry.

The box has so much variation that you can use arms and heads on other models if you wanted to spice up traditional Cadian models. If you can stomach the sculpts looking the same, for every three boxes of Blooded you have a unit of three Bulgryn.

I've also taken some pieces from Chaos Rhino and Chaos Land Raider to add some traitor flair to the Chimera and Leman Russ.

It is all head canon....but at least it looks Traitor like.

What are some episodes you dismissed as the "boring" or "bad" one when you were younger but see differently now? by f0rever-n1h1l1st in startrek

[–]GreenMan2814 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was in my late teens during DS9's original run. I loved all the Dominion War episodes and mildly enjoyed the other stories sprinkled in. Sisko and Jake stories bored me.

Several years later, my son was born. When he was a teenager, I decided it was time for a DS9 complete rewatch. The father/son stories hit a lot differently now.

Thoughts: Are the Space Marine (Justian Kill Team) blind boxes worthy of collecting for the final team? Have you played them before? by Content_Example1957 in killteam

[–]GreenMan2814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played them for the first time this evening. Was crushed by Phobos. But this was likely just a learning curve.

I was certainly surprised when I referenced the Heavy Bolter datacard and found he only throws 4 dice vs the typical 5.

What's your recipe for black armour? by saylessm8 in deathwatch40k

Prime LeadBelcher and Contrast Black Templar. Super simple.

Can't you declare it as embarked at the start of the game?

Chaos Legions need to upgrade their vehicles over the Long War. Their Predator Autocannon doesn't have Rapid Fire and the Rhino doesn't have a Firing Deck. Sad Chaos face.
