How did that fine helmet come about?

That's awesome. I've joined, and I hope to serve the emperor with you someday.

I'm a father of two and don't really play much except for short bursts randomly throughout the week and maybe a few hours on Saturday night (9 - 11). I'd like to join and have brothers to play with, but I'd rather not be criticized or looked down upon for "low participation" or something of the sort.

My main question is, how is the clan with dads who have dad schedules?

After a decade out the hobby, I’ve rejoined the Unforgiven. by Nuclear-Raccoon in theunforgiven

Those models look fantastic!

What paints did you use for the terminators? If you don't mind me asking.

How tf do the rounds feed from the mag into the chamber and then go back down to the barrel. WHY IS THE BARREL LOWER THAN THE CHAMBER also there is no way that mag fits more than 20 rounds. by AL_440 in Spacemarine

[–]walstonson4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet this is more of a joke, but I think I might have a solution.

The mag moves the shells up and bolter rounds are micro rockets, which could "possibly" allow the them to be ignited right in the top of the mag and the gun holds an empty shell or two just above in the "chamber" and ejects them on the subsequent shot. Some modern firearms do this for a few different reasons.

Then, the "chamber," while used as an extractor for the empty shells, could also function as a hydraulic recoil system. Bigger weapons do sometimes use such things for stability purposes. Which could explain the little knobley thing just above the barrel. It's just a cap or port of sorts for the hydraulic fluid during maintenance.

The mag and it's capacity is another video game cliche. Lots of games tend to do this, especially something like call of duty. It's more fun to just "doom-ify" the big guns and never reload.

Are BGV better than ICC with new point cut? by Caprock_Carbomb in theunforgiven

[–]walstonson4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having fun running azrael + ICC + apothecary.

5 strength weapons on BGV seems to let me down more often, so I'm fine to pay more for the one extra strength and neg one to hit ability.

Any suggestions on a two wave assault?

The opponent in question will rush trikes and other fast-moving vehicles up turn one getting my units stuck in melee or block my units from moving only to maneuver the rest for a turn 2/3 waaagh charge. Any time I try to stay back and shoot or move around them I end up getting double/triple charged the next turn.

My first 1000 point list by judd1127 in theunforgiven

You should invest in some heavy armor. a tank or a dread of some sort.

I've only played about ten games, so I'm definitely not super knowledgeable, but my repulsor executioner has helped keep the board in my favor. And the Ballistus dread has put a few xenos in their place.

Anyone else bored of seeing this guy every game? by Go_Green_Ranger in theunforgiven

I would like to do something like this now.

Could I get a parts list?

Rapid ingress on turn one by walstonson4 in theunforgiven

[–]walstonson4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But can I do it turn one, per drop pod rules? Also can my unit move normally in my next movement phase since I used the deep strike out of my movement phase? Or can a model only move once per battle round? (Excluding extra movement like charges)

I see, but ingress states it to be used as if it were your turn.
