Does anyone have the dark eldar or blood angels codex?

In an entirely unrelated question, does anyone have a scanner?

I have the 40k rulebook, and tau and IG codexes.

in an entirely unrelated statement, I do have a scanner (and adobe pro, shrink files, shrink!)

Aldaris · « **Reply #2303 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:28:58 PM »

I don't have a scanner. In an entirely unrelated statement - I do have google.

And money, if I am interested in more than a casual browse.

Finlay · « **Reply #2304 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:50:30 PM »

Indeed, I have no problems buying the books if I am going to use the army, I just want to check out the rules before deciding.

Aldaris · « **Reply #2305 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:52:44 PM »

In that case, google can be a avery helpful ally.

For a moment I was wondering if I accidently clicked into a different thread, and not the 40K thread, when reading this post.

@CannonofDoom

I have not had a proper sig for ages!

@Mcknight

I am surprised people still use lash, especially with all the mech that runs around these days. I stopped once everyone started hiding in transports! Still, it is very nasty with vindicators

I don't imagine your list will have too many problems against lash.

If I ever played tyranids I don't think id have a single gun. Doesn't seem right.

Shooting flesh eating bugs out of living guns into the arse of your opponents.

I don´t see anything wrong with that.

Guns are for pansies. Also if you're going to rip of starship troopers do it properly.

phillyt · « **Reply #2310 on:** October 12, 2011, 08:16:31 PM »

More of a rip on Alien than Starship Troopers. Tyranids came out shortly after the second film. I am sure they pulled a little from the original books but the movie was probably a more realistic inspiration.

My close combat Eldar -are- pansies.

Yes..AND they kick ass.

Also if I remember correctly the bugs in Starship troopers have artillery bugs that .....shoot.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2313 on:** October 13, 2011, 08:29:04 AM »

Genestealers were the aliens from Aliens. Tyranids arrived later.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2314 on:** October 13, 2011, 08:31:52 AM »

That would make sense with the alien 2 thingy... i liked the symiont cult fluff .....much cooler than the Tyranid invasion strike force infiltrator gene stealer thingy.

Harlequins have still got it. Seeing them rip through pretty much everything is fun. I'm so glad I didn't play Eldar in 4th though, as I could never have lived through the shame.

Aldaris · « **Reply #2316 on:** October 13, 2011, 10:25:13 AM »

Harlequins look pretty damn sweet too. Only issue I see with them is the lack of dedicated transport options, but then, I don't play Eldar. Do you run 'em on foot and rely on Veil of Tears and cover to keep 'em alive or do you buy a separate transport for them to use?

No problem! You just open the transports first or lure the enemy out!

I did well against him in my game, but he made a lot of rookie mistakes, so i need to practise against a more seasoned player. I had terrible rolls though.

phillyt · « **Reply #2319 on:** October 13, 2011, 11:56:43 AM »

Yeah it isn't difficult to crack open a transport. Armies need to be laid out to deal with heavy and light vehicles. My standard Black Templar army has three landraider crusaders and three predator annihilators. It ends up being quite capable of punishing most vehicles then finishing enemy units in CC.

Aldaris · « **Reply #2320 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:34:27 PM »

Well, three Landraiders are a bitch to deal with for pretty much any army... The downside is that those 6 vehicles are a good deal more than half your points in a 2000 points army, and the prevalence of melta weapons in todays metagame could mean you're in for a rough time.

Interesting approach though! Something radically different, which I like.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2321 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:40:40 PM »

That was what I was thinking....Melter should be decently able to get rid of even land raiders...or enter...the MULTIMELTER

Finlay · « **Reply #2322 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:45:24 PM »

Blood angels seem to be able to give their whole army FNP and FC pretty easily.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2323 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:57:29 PM »

How would you know....have you bought the Codex?

and on an unrelated note does playing 40k make you more sulky than Fantasy (I remember I sulked too when Aldaris wiped the floor with my guard).

It does for me!

I hate being fired on for about twenty minutes in turn one, before I get to do anything. To the extent that I'd rather put everything in reserve and not show up until late in the game.
