WARTORTLE, I CHOOSE YOU!

Oh boy... an all-female ogor faction would be hilarious - and very, very confusing for the tumblrsphere!

The simplest way of handling the vagaries of balance within the system without overhauling the system would be.. oh, I don't know. An annual update of points values based on tournament / community input, maybe? [emoji16] Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yeah, it's a tricky one. Most people have some version of house rule on this. For me, weapons/cloaks/banners etc. don't count, you have to be able to see (from model's perspective) a complete limb, torso or head at least. But grudgingly have to agree with your debating partner - due to GW's penchant for 'cool' mini design and the 4-page rules, this kind of thing will keep cropping up. I'm a fan of the Warmachine volume model. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Always found Slaanesh to be a hobby Rorschach. What you think about it says more about you. [emoji6] Any news on next week's preorders? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Guy who used to attend my club had a red/black space marine force. Used the chapter traits for ultramarines, salamanders and white scars in rotation depending on opposition. Because "fun reasons".[emoji37] You want knights excelsior, I'm checking your models for the right shoulder pads. [emoji6]

And that's where you demand fluff-accurate paint jobs and the correct iconography! [emoji16]

Also... Celestial Vindicators specifies Hammerstrike Force Battalions that contain a certain number of PALADIN units. Current HF battalion is Retributors only. Holy hell, Protectors will be horrific in Turquoise... Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Looking forward to the first 'spirited' TO discussion around taking battalion pts costs from the 1st GHB, but using the lower unit pts costs from the SCE book in the same army... Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Battleline, Double points if opponent has artillery, but free if they've taken Gryph hounds as artillery spotters because it's a fun and characterful list[emoji769] . [emoji8]

Welcome to Gryph-Hound daisy chains in front of Artillery... Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I know this is a publicity measure. I know it's nothing serious. Still just had an apoplectic fit over it. And at least in theory, I'm in PETA's corner. Next up, "Is it okay if my Stareagles aren't free-range?" [emoji37] Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I was hoping for an elite tzeentch warrior unit along the lines of Wrathmongers or Blightkings. New kits are lubbly though. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

If it was a compendium list, I'd see a renaming as an option - but this far into design I don't think it'll happen. I think if it comes to fruition, Order of Azyr will be along the lines of Ironweld Arsenal - not a full faction, but effectively a mini faction of particular specialty.

I think that's unlikely, as that'd be skirting the IP/imagery of goblinoids in Warmachine /WoW. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

That's a grapple gun (look at the arrangement of hinges at the business end). Spot on with the Sigmarite script. That mount though... Looks like fur with feathers or more fur, so I don't think it's a Dracoth. Some kind of mounted Stormcast hunter? Or... DUN-dun-DUUUUUNNNNNN... Mounted steamhead!?

I heard the dice had been specially manufactured to guarantee that they always come up the result on the opposite side of the die to the one that it would have been. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I.. I've heard a rumour GW are going bankrupt? [emoji6] (Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm done now.) Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I take your point, but certainly on WS and DD the voices of legitimate (balanced?) concern are the minority. Even with the latest set of financials, there are still those arguing (in a couple of cases, screaming) that AoS remains the beginning of the end. You don't need to be a fanboy to see that objectively, the company has improved dramatically over the last 18 months on all fronts. For myself, I think that a large number of "splash" box releases and IP licensing have certainly helped, but I think the biggest light in the company right now (and the surest sign things are on the up) is that they have at long last acknowledged the community exists and are actively engaging with them beyond operating a till.

Just been for a quick nostalgia lurk on Dakka. There is still one guy I knew I could rely on for rolling out all the favourites. Exchange rate, computer games, price gouging, increasing prices, closing stores. Even the old "AH, BUT AOS DOESN'T APPEAR ON ICV2!!!" Totally cannot countenance the possibility GW is doing well. Although he did have a new one on me - AoS isn't outselling 40k because it's doing well, 40k is selling poorly because people are worried it'll get AoS'd. ? Anyway, back to regular programming...

Yeah, but that's looking very much like another discount box like the knight one or the skybattle ones, rather than new minis, and that harpoon isn't spiky enough to be DE. I'm still stuck on Duardin boarding harpoon. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

It would fit in with the old Dwarf trait of preferring weapons that were also tools. It doesn't look slender enough to be Aelf or sharp/brutal enough to be chaos. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Boarding hook, but yeah. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

The stripes... Hmmm. That's a curve ball.

Changing the rule of one for magic from "attempted" to "successfully cast". I don't want them to 'fix' points, either - encourages people to start playing their own way. I don't think this has been done either, but I'd like to see an 'official' scenario based around the idea of two boards linked by realmgates to give people the idea.
