Wait, i did?
Shit, sorry, it's just that sometimes i open the list in notepad, write the name of the users who want to play and then leave it open and then forget to save it. :smith:
I think I'd be interested in trying Dark Heresy, but it'd depend solely on how we're going to be doing it.
Came back from my first propa wh40k game. 1500p against loyalists.
My crakden shrugged off an orbital bombardment and my rihnos shrugged off all kark missiles until the last ones.
It ended in a tie. We each scored 3 killpoints.

Also, added you and Turtlehead to the list.

Well I'm assuming you're not all going to be physically meeting up. Will it be hosted in a special kind of client? Will skype be involved? Microphones? how often will the sessions be held?
Or has all this yet to have been decided?

We've yet to decide.
I presume it'll just be done through skype or something like that, not sure about microphones, and the sessions would probably be held once per week/two weeks.

Playing via skype is not something I'd wish on my worst enemies. By all means try it, but scheduling a game that five people can make is not going to be easy.
I'd advise an In Character thread and a Out Of Character thread. Maybe if everyone in a group's in the same time zone you might be able to pull it off, but something unexpected coming up for even just one player can screw you over.
Just came back from my match at the GW store.
Army deployment got messed up because my opponent hadn't organized his army with points, but he was playing as Tau with no Kroot so I didn't mind.
I had my Chaplain and the Vanguards, my whole Tactical squad, and my Scout Snipers sitting on top of my objective building . He had a Stealth Suit squad, a Devilfish, a Crisis suit Commander and 12 firewarriors (occupying their building). In the first turn he only killed one of my Vanguards but I managed to move them around into ruins where they couldn't shoot them.In turn I killed two of his firewarriors. I missed every shot in turn 2, and he killed one of my tactical. By turn 3 two new comers had shown up, one with a HB,shotgun, bolter and melee scout squad with Dreadnought w/ MM (joined my side) and the other had the same Dread but one tactical squad of 5. The lone heavy bolter marine in my tactical squad managed to blast 3 fire warriors to bits, and the combined fire of the new scouts and my snipers smashed the Stealth Suit squad. I lost 2 tactical marines and the last of my scouts to fire though. My vanguards stayed hidden in cover, which I now regret doing as they never fought a close combat.
In turn 3 the two dreads charged each other and started smashing at each other with their fists. The one belonging to my ally didn't hit the other dread [b]once[/b], but survived 4 turns of combat, losing both weapons, becoming immobilized, being stunned twice, and being shot at by a Crisis suit.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4[/media]
I finally moved my vanguards out of cover, and the Tau fired every weapon they had at them. There wasn't a [b]single wound.[/b] The heavy bolter scored a wound on the Crisis suit and killed another 3 firewarriors, the boltguns killed 2. The Vanguards survived being shot at by the Devilfish again, the Crisis suit blew the last of the scouts on our objective building to pieces. So we had lost our objective, and the fate of the match came down to killing the last 3 firewarriors on the enemy objective building with the Vanguard bolt pistols. 5 of the 6 shots hit, there were 4 wounds, only one was saved. The other Space Marine player hadn't captured our building, so the match was a draw.
Man of the match has to be the Heavy Bolter marine. I am going to make him a permanent member of that squad now, and add a Tau trophy onto his armour from bits of my old collection.
I learned quite a few things:
1)Melta's are shit. Never get them. Ever. (In a [b]tactical squad[/b], jesus christ.)
2)Leaving melee units in cover is a very bad idea.
3)Snipers are only useful on the Sergeant with his higher BS.
4)Never let the match begin before you've adjusted your squads to suit newbies with their whole collection.

Meltas are incredibly useful given the proliferation of vehicles in 5th ed., and the fact that they are assault weapons.
Leaving melee units in cover is indeed a bad idea.
Snipers are something of a hit and miss unit: they can either pin and shut down a firewarrior squad a turn, or they can do nothing, depending on how well you roll.
Yeah, fair enough.
[QUOTE=nightlord;33039688]Why weren't you prepared for it in the first place?[/QUOTE]
What's that supposed to mean?
He had no way of knowing what his enemy's army was like before he went to the match, unless he had already went to the hobby store and checked his army.

Only problem with that is that I would of had to replace my heavy bolter, which did remarkably well.

[QUOTE=Shadowcat123;33039968]Tell that to my drive by Chimera tactics.[/QUOTE]
Well because mine was in a tactical squad only once was it within 12'' and it did no damage. I have no doubt they would be a good fast attack weapon choice.
I really need to make a bike list, damn I love bikes
They're so corny but also really fun to use. Plus, mechanized guard just loves those multimelta attack bikes.

Yeah, a play-by-post system should at least be considered.
Can somebody draw a sisters of battle power armor onto this?

[QUOTE=Vasili;33035830]GW are always raping their fluff.
They are always changing things.
This is why they released that official statement a while back.
Plenty of races have seen radical changes to their play style or lore, perhaps you're too young to remember I don't know. 40k has been constant ret-cons throughout its product line. It has seen huge, broad, and sweeping changes to virtually every one of their factions in tone, appearance, goals, background, interactions, attitude, weaponry, etc. etc. This is nothing new to anyone who's been in the hobby for more than 3 years.
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1319947920711.png[/img]
Prime example of mega lore change, Slaanesh is the one who destroyed Khaine in present fluff. You got a crapload of retcons after that. Like Autarch, Daemon Princes being considered losers by all REAL DAEMONS (thaanks gav), Emperors webway and Golden Throne being much older than Heresy, Twin Primarchs and Alpha Legion following alien Cabals, Space Wolves being revealed as the best Legion who destroys other Legions in the Emperors name, Void Dragon being responsible for humanity's technological advances etc etc.
[B]You haven't seen the full codex lore yet, just snippets, you shouldn't form a complete opinion over something that technically has not even been released yet[/B]
You thinking its stupid or poorly written is just your own opinion, doesn't mean anything here, let me just clarify that to everyone.
The problem is you keep complaining, its not like you've voiced your opinion once or twice, but multiple times and its getting obnoxious. Back in my hobby day change was accepted, may not like it but we rolled with the punches, we didn't shout and vent and cry over something we wouldn't be able to change back or continuously bitch about it. Giving Necrons a voice rather than them being another mindless legion of slaves makes them more interesting, what is interesting about robots that go around killing everyone for the pure sake of killing? The only times I'm aware of GW changing things due to public opinion, was a Dark Elf FAQ/errata mostly done by the community, which was given the thumbs up by the author of the Army Book and published in White Dwarf. And a note in the 4th ed Tyranid FAQ, which altered synapse-based ID immunity to be from st8 weapons only, which was changed back to all strength-based ID after a spontaneous storm of outrage swept through the internet.
[editline]30th October 2011[/editline]
I'm sorry but they've changed, you still have the option to play them like the old lore because it has not actually been completely removed. There's no point in complaining over this, whats it going to achieve?[/QUOTE]
You are comparing who killed Khaine to the complete and total overhaul of an entire race. Seriously, what. Everything you listed can be labeled as a minor change. It didn't change an "I want everyone dead" race into "I just want to live :C".
And "That's your opinion, stop stating it"? The discussion was about Necrons, and people have evidently seen the Codex as they've posted summaries and shit from it. It looks like shit. That is my opinion, and I'll state it as much as I want. If you want obnoxious, its this "holier than thou" attitude you Matt Ward sympathizers take when talking about the Newcrons.
I just ordered a Relic Contemptor Dreadnought from Forge World
Fuck yes.

You are aware of the fact that eldar went from merry little space pirates to a complete lore redesign from almost the ground up.
Orks changed insanely as well.
Warhammer fluff is constantly evolving and the necrons fit right in into the evolution of the current wh40k fluff. They fit in thematically, don't have a massive fluff change that cannot be observed in some ways in previous editions and enrich the species.
I mean do you want back rogue trader marines? Do you want back the half-human half eldar Ultramarine chaplain?
Perhaps some completely differetn fluff as well?
Also necron never ever bloody wanted EVERYONE DEAD. They wanted to reastablish the empire so the C'tan could once again feast unopposed. They wanted to seperate the warp from realspace in order to never loose again and a bunch of other stuff. Nothing that directly goes against their new fluff.
There already were multiple tomb worlds which were not under the control of the c'tan.
Facepunch is obsessed.
