True true

But they are still staying. I'm not buying more £20 5 model boxes

Silly McKnight.

Anyway, I was bored and tired of doing revision so I gathered my painted chaos and took pictures.

It's hard for me to paint troops.

The extra rhino houses the squad I failed to paint.

Very nice army! I like the look of your nurgle dudes.

McKnight · « **Reply #578 on:** May 09, 2010, 10:04:04 AM »

Not bad!

Why are the termies blue?

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #579 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:36:05 PM »

I blame my camera, they're grey/black!

Merrick · « **Reply #580 on:** May 19, 2010, 07:01:23 PM »

Ah, yes.

I vowed to destroy them, as I recall.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #581 on:** May 19, 2010, 07:03:14 PM »

As if you could.

They have annihilated all who have stood against them!

Ok, so SPEARHEAD has arrived. The White Dwarf was surprisingly good, with some decent content for a change, and I hope with the new editor this trend will continue.

However, I just HAVE to gripe a little about the spearhead article: Really, the actually Spearhead lists are online? Really? I paid for pretty pics, a hand full of rules and a link to get to the lists for FREE? If they really thought they were doing me a favor by showing me pics of the new Leman Russ and the Eldar tanks from every conceivable angle, and placing the vital component to these rules (for free) online, I'd say someone has been abusing their meds again....

Having gotten that gripe out of the way, I think I like Spearhead quite a lot. I may finally have an excuse to break down and buy a Stompa (other than "they're cool", which just isn't enough justification at this time). I think it's possible I will play this far more than Planetstrike or Cities of Death or even Apocalypse.

Im not really interested in it... at all.. Im just looking through the rules on GW and they dont really seem to interest me.

It just sounds like a spawn of apocalypse...

GamesPoet · « **Reply #584 on:** May 29, 2010, 11:38:31 AM »

Apocolypse is cool!

McKnight · « **Reply #585 on:** May 29, 2010, 11:45:19 AM »

WEll okay, maybe it would cool to include spearhead just not overdoing it... but oh well... the guard wont be changed that much

GamesPoet · « **Reply #586 on:** May 29, 2010, 11:54:47 AM »

Don't know anything about Spearhead, yet, except its suppose to be about tanks.

I haven't played Planetstrike, yet, but looking forward to it eventually.

Rules can be found here:

...how about Apocalypse Lite?

Finally read through the downloads last night, and it appears that I'm wrong about the Stompa! However, this does give IG player the chance to use their Baneblades (and variants). Some of these are a bit tasty: Tank units with 5+ invulnerable saves? Fast attack vehicles that can move flat out AND shoot? Tanks rams that count as AV15 for the ram? Me like!

McKnight · « **Reply #589 on:** May 29, 2010, 05:12:50 PM »

Actually the White dwarf includes all the rules and missions, so you would still be getting something for your money.

But it is an apoc light version. The formations do not take any extra FOC slots.

Isnt the stompa a superheavy?

t12161991 · « **Reply #590 on:** May 30, 2010, 06:43:46 PM »

It'd better be, seeing as it's more points than a Baneblade!

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #591 on:** May 30, 2010, 06:51:22 PM »

I believe it is a Superheavy. If I get filthy rich I may buy a Stompa for kicks and stomp my sons Marines to smear with it. And maybe Shadowwolfs Nids aswell.

I'm going to buy a Stompa, and never open the box. Just to spite you.

To be fair, it does kick a fair bit more ass than a Baneblade in cc...

Kustom Stompas are more expensive, more durable (KFF!) and can be much more powerful shootingwise than any of the baneblade versions.

Yup, I stand (re)corrected! It's a Super-heavy Walker. I can only guess that when I first read the Super-Heavy Spearhead entry that I was projecting TANK on that somehow...

Now I want one-badly!

I bought a stompa a ways back, on sale, and opened the box.

I have four with one still on its sprue!

As for Tanks, just roll out the ol Skull Hammer! It is awesome!

Fill it with lootas and people will vanish mysteriously in a cloud of red mist...

That's a given. I wasn't trying to say that the two are equivalent in power...

Ok, I caved in and started a space marine army.

I'll blame it on the nephew thinking their cool and wanting to learn how to paint. That and I had two boxes of AoBR with them just begging to be constructed. It can be tough to wake up in the morning to the chant of, "Build us! Build Us! Build Us!"

So we washed and base coated two dreadnaughts this weekend, one for him, one for me. He had been trying to decide on which chapter to paint and after hours of looking through the codex and the "how to paint space marines" book he decided on White Scars. I had contemplated The Mentors further back, yet had also considered designing my own, but when he picked the White Scars, I figured someone would need to teach him a way to paint white, so it looks like The Mentors it will be.

Some day I need to dig up my 40K log somewhere around here, and see where I left off.
