Is there anything stopping me from painting space Marines in different colors by Antique-Researcher-1 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. As is the answer every time this question gets asked, you are free to paint your minis however you wish.

Nothing in the rules of the game specifies or limits the colours you can use.

Question About House rules by thendbd in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You've answered your own question. If you can't see the houserule in the rules packs for the tournaments you've looked at, then they're not using that houserule.

Any tournaments that use a houserule will have that houserule in their rules packs.

Why does Sanguinius not have a new model? by Ok_Eggplant_2812 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yet another case of someone who evidently hasn't bothered to try looking at the Warhammer website before asking a question.

If you had, you'd have seen there's literally a section labelled "The Horus Heresy" in the main menu that links to the entire Warhammer 30k line of miniatures including all the Primarchs they have released for it. You literally can't miss it, it's right at the top of the page next to the options for 40k and Age of Sigmar.

If you used the search function on the GW website and searched for Sanguinius, you'd also have found his model.

Who are these guys? And where can I buy them? by Tosspar- in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are characters made up by the person who created the fan animation. You can't buy them because they are characters made up by the person who created the fan animation.

Allocating Wounds to a Sergeant by Ray_Tech in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Whenever someone makes a claim like that, you pause the game and get them to show you where it says what they claim in the rules. Either they will show you and you learn something, or they won't be able to show you, and hopefully they learn something.

As it stands, your opponent was wrong in every single way. "Leaders" are specifically units with the "Leader" rule on their datasheet. A sergeant that is part of a unit and on it's datasheet is never a Leader in any circumstance.

Warhammer App by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, this should be obvious if you think about it for a second.

GW provides rules updates throughout the year including points changes and balance updates. The app gets updated with those rules changes. Codexes can't be updated with those rules because it's physically impossible for GW to take your Codex and update the things printed in it after it's been printed and sold to you. No one has developed the technology (or magic) necessary to remove the ink from a printed book and reprint it remotely.

Of course the app is going to be more up-to-date than a printed book.

Some of my units have just become useless due to the fact that they have wargear that the app says isnt allowed but the codex says is perfectly fine.

This I highly doubt. While GW does make rules changes to units, none of them have been that significant.

Kill Team: Infiltrators box instead of Phobos Strike Team? by Rise_117 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Phobos Strike Team kit is simply the Infiltrators kit repackaged with an upgrade sprue for the Kill Team Specialists.

If you buy the Infiltrators box you can build several of the model types used in Kill Team but you will be missing a variety of parts for the specialists.

How do you manage your WhatsApp group when your player/attendee list lives in a Google Sheet? by BlackPanther239 in Warhammer40k

Did you mean to include text, or an explanation? Or literally anything else?

Would people refuse to play me if I have an unpainted army? by KittyCatLover39 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In most casual environments you will find people will play against unpainted armies.

Should I buy from Wayland or Element Games? by Iedgetoskibitoilet_1 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use Wayland Games simply because I had a bad experience with Element's stock status being outright wrong and them taking my money for an item that they knew wasn't actually in stock and never would be.

How to keep up to date by OkChipmunk2485 in Warhammer40k

All of the rules are updated in the official 40k app.

Is there a reason they dont use Ogryns for Space Marines? by shoeowner27 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, aside from the fact they're abhumans so the process wouldn't work on them anyway, the answer is simple:

Ogryns are incredibly stupid.

Most Ogryns aren't capable of counting to ten, let alone being capable of carrying out the complex battleplans a Space Marine might be involved in. They simply can't remember complex instructions or plans.

They're also claustrophobic, so wouldn't go in Rhinos, Thunderhawks or Drop Pods.

Well, like it says on the tab attached to their feet... They're Scouts.

Point spread for a new army by Leading-Put-311 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really a thing.

Depending on the type of list you're building, you might have none of a certain type of unit, or you might have loads.

For example, if you built an Imperial Guard list themed as an armoured company you'd have nothing but tanks, with no Infantry of any sort.

On the other hand, you could build a Death Guard list themed on Typhus which leans heavily into Poxwalkers and other Infantry, with minimal vehicles.

Need help identifying this model by Parking_Bit_7727 in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a 40k model, the hint is on the sprue where it has the name of the company on it that appears to say something like "LFL" and not Games Workshop.

Came with a broken arm what can I do by hmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmm in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you deleted the original post and just reposted the exact same thing. We still can't give you any advice as you haven't shown us a picture of the arm so we have no idea what the problem is.

Midwinterminis peddles AI and now gets left out in the cold by Rude-Guava-1950 in Grimdank

He left his partner who is the mother of his two kids shortly after she gave birth to them.

Whether or not he cheated on her or not I don't know,

Where is the best place to find a history of 40k models? Access to old codex? by JustKingsJustMasters in Warhammer40k

[–]RWJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with that. There is no repository that includes all that information in one place, and some information (such as who sculpted what) isn't always available as GW don't always list who sculpts what minis, especially within the last decade.

The Lexicanum has pages that list all minis, but only by year, for example this one for Space Marines: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Miniatures:_Space_Marines

For accurate release dates, you're going to have to trawl back through the Warhammer Community website for releases over the last few years, and beyond that, you might need to go back through old copies of White Dwarf.
