what points have you guys been aiming for, I'm happy to play any points limit.

It might be a good idea to aim low as it's his 1st game. Just let me know and I'll match it ;)

Yes, codex, great idea, thought u had one.

I wonder if Al (BANE) will play with you so you can both learn together :D lol

Low points with the dreadnoughts will really suffer..its an AV12 spam ..it can only work as a spam and it needs those rhinos for cover. (if you lot were kind you could pretend that his las missile was a rifleman :D)
Barely even lurking..

i have two marine codex, one of them is from way before battle for macragge was released, the other from today :P

and my hellfire is staying a hellfire! unless i need a las and a power fist, then its a las with a power fist dread :P

none of the dreads have sealed arms, they're interchangable, if that helps any :P

i've managed to swindle a couple hours off work, so im going to try and get the tac squad done... 10 arms, 10 heads, 8 bolters, 2 meltas and 10 backpacks to go, oh and 20 shoulder pads XD

they'll at least, at the very very least, have both arms, a weapon and a head by tomorrow night, though i make no guarantees to their paint job


and this is where the note book comes in, since i'll never remember what i need to do each turn for each squad, its so i can have a quick reference to each squads capabilities, ie: squad name - weapons - firing range - movement range - any special traits and what they require (for librarian in particular) - saves - more saves - even more saves - DICE TOO MANY DICE!

unlike nige, i wont have someone with the GK codex trying to find him abilities for his librarian mid game :P

a conversation with a dice is so 6 sided... :P

ok, thats a bad one i know, but i just couldnt help myself!


all the tacs have arms now, should have weapons and heads by the end of the night, maybe even shoulder pads/back packs by game time tomorrow

gonna try and write the detailed list up (troops/abilities) for a reference, far easier to check a note book page than flip through the entire codex right :D

but i know for a fact that it'll need fine tuning...

now, someone pass me a pen, mines run out!

Ahhhh, but trukks are open topped, and for open topped you just measure range and LOS from the hull. :wink:
So you only have to place 1 template, then just multiply by the number of burna boyz! :twisted:

But I didn't come up with this myself, I read about it in a batrep!

Good tactic!

the pen may be mightier than the sword, but the sword guarantees ownership of the pen :D

Not in divorce court! :D

In that court, the pen guarantees ownership of nothing! 8O
