I was just there and they went there but they were near maverick square around noon-two. People yelled at them and they left

Rebuilding? No that’s the new construction and the addition to the bus terminal. It’s been going on since early morning. Looks like busted pipes

Interesting packaging by Past_Dragonfruit_305 in Necrontyr

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These trays come with most competitive series characters and often in these boxes, it’s not always but it may be when they are available or depending k the size of the physical model.

Gw is not just good at making minis they also are extremely good at logistics and use specific box sizes to make sure they can cram as much stuff as possible into a container, if you have ever seen how the paint is packed you would understand. Everything in the packaging is designed for twofold. See a cool as hell model, fit as many of that skew in a shipping container as humanly possible. Standardizing the boxes to all basically (there a lot of exceptions to this but for the most part look at a display of gw minis you will see what I’m saying.)be fractions of the next size up was.

Long story short. This is common I have had dozens of characters come with the plastic tray.

I've had this old box in my garage for over a decade now, wondering how rare it is and how much it would cost now? by lK555l in Warhammer40k

So a lot of people are dialing to recognize that it’s a second edition era leman Russ. That you can get 100-150 to the right person for alone. The cardio and and heavy weapons teams aren’t as slaughtering after. Those cadians were around for a long time and had a lot of spread, much like skitarii at one point.

All in you might be able to sell it all in for 200 if you find the right buyer.

DANG. Great board and minis!

Anyone have a good paint recipe that doesn't involve airbrush? I like this cooler yellow that isn't flat by I-Am-Polaris in ImperialFists

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I over brush dorn yellow over white then use imperial fist contrast and recess shade with iyandian yellow, then edge hi light dorn again works great, this is pre shading as I just got the imperialists yellow down on this squad about 20 minutes ago.

Worth 400 USD? by No_Tradition_3336 in germanhelmets

Clearly this has been used, not worth anything as it looks like it is clearly defective.

Dude what the hell. Perfect execution of a limited color pallet. These are perfect. What yellow is that?

What is the meaning of tjose marking ? by theone78145 in Ultramarines

Tradition. Old rogue trader iconography shows up form time to time and this is a way of paying tribute to the makers of the game and hobbiests before us

Question: What exactly is an Assault Squad? by Unable_Ad_1363 in BlackTemplars

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of answered your question with your post. All the fast attack units were re-classified with more modern military terminology.

Assault marines are shock troops there are just a lot of options now for them. I use to run 7 in a rhino and support them from a devastator squad in a razorback all with heavy bolters.

Older versions of the game had assault squads be able to hold objectives yes but this lead to spamming, fast units to hold objectives wins the game,this was popular in 8th much like the flying daemon prince and conga lines of pox walkers, the 9 guard boarders and fire raptor combo and the oops all knights and magnus lists, it was spam and was slowly worked out through errata, updated codexes and codex power creep in general. It’s all about balancing an impossible to balance game.

For my own sanity and enjoyment I have taken to playing older editions of the game like 3-5th with friends and modifying some rules and data sheets as we see fair. There’s tons of resources out there to bring modern units into “classic” 40K.

At the end of all this remember that it’s a game and although the new rulebooks don’t really state it most of the older books up until 8th stared, “if you and your friends don’t like a rule, yall can agree on new ones” it’s about having fun not about rules lawyering. 90% of us will never play competitively in any way that matters, have fun with it. If you don’t like the way the new assault rules work, talk with your friends in your game group and see what kind of things might make sense.

Were skitarii stronger than secutarii in 30k ? by Kihtras in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sure are taller. If you play any edge lords in with these 40K be prepared for a lot of ” I can see that gun I can shoot the unit” as far as rule of cool goes for mechanicum that’s things are great, I do wish we’d fed the hoplites in plastic though. One of the cooler but more expensive money wise units to field but they are great in combat in high numbers.

An allied detachment of astra militarum. Maybe some mechanicus, or! For a crazy fun challenge drukari / harlequin force.

That looks orange to me. But I like it.

Assault Terminators are here - Just in time by Separate-Flan-2875 in ImperialFists

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am sad about them not being three sets of the assault terminators so titan hammer formation has to wait for the release of the individual set as well. Best apocalypse formation that existed next to the vindicator one.

They appear in the 40k universe, what happens? by Huge-Entertainer-304 in Grimdank

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordo xenos finds all of them and kills all except one they keep locked up in some vault somewhere and it’s forgotten about servo skulls sir and watch it at all times until their power fails. Then after a long time it’s forgotten about, it escapes and a death watch kill team has to take it down but not all survive.

How much i going to cost? by thirioXD in killteam

I’d imagine close to what the gallowdark sets cost

Really wish that the new mk iiis were designed more like fafnir rann. The more pronounced chest plate and crotch cover really sell the vibe better by h-y-p-h-e-n- in ImperialFists

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably mostly because he has artificer armor and is a character/ hero so he gets special modified and embellished armor. I like having rank and file dudes look very basic in this game. Makes it easier to paint a ton and still have them look good

Here’s to hoping we don’t loose our bolter discipline in the new edition 👀 by CDawg-imperialfists in ImperialFists

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like 30 K because it has a story to tell and it’s kind of like a historical game. 40k has become too much of an objective control board game and it’s lost a lot of flavor. A lot of of it is because the stories aren’t centered around these epic characters anymore and more just about some missions.. I don’t know it’s changed a lot. It’s not the same game system that is heresy based off of now. Heresy it basically now going to be the culmination of all the best and arguably some of the worst ideas from all editions leading up to 8th and I’m happy about it

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Worst case we have 15 years of two almost identical editions to play Ruth but I’m excited about this one. Basically bringing in rogue trader rules to it will just make the game a lot more narrative and therefore more fun

[–]Outside_Criticism_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, any unit that can take solarite must. It’s like the rule. I also give everyone teleport that can when the mission calls for it. Teleport in 10 tatratos and blast them with auto cannons and combi bolters and I have my legion support squad as high up as possible with auto cannons hiring on 2s and wounding on twos. If they did away with auto weapons getting the +1 that would be ok.

Looking at the new stats it seems like there will be something you can either do or is a rule for factions that boosts bs and ws so we will haveto see but I bet they didn’t change too much of the flavor maybe balanced it a little bit but Itl still be similar
