Hah, what a faux pas. Mars.

Now I have the grey knights army book!

I love all the inquisitor options and henchmen. Too bad you have to use Cortez the Killer or whatever he is called if you want henchmen troop choices.

Not only does he look like a small-headed fool (the classic 'power armor but no helmet' problem), but he is only available in resin. Which means I either have to get a metal one from ebay, or make my own version of him (easily done, apart from the robot eagle thing he has).

He is ridiculously cool! What are you talking about ?

His small head is justified since he isn't a space marine.

I think a mix of henchmen and grey knights would be the best option for the army, compared to an all henchmen army.

Anyone in power armor but not wearing a helmet looks absurd. It's a fact.

I do intend to use grey knights as well as henchmen, but Cortez the Killer is essential if you want to have more than a token number of henchmen units. So he's in.

And then I will use a more interesting inquisitor as my other HQ. I like demon blades!

You mean Torquemada Coteaz? I hate that model too! We're hate buddies!

I plan on using the Castellan crowe model for my daemon blade inquisitor. The model has a lot of inquisitorial =I= on it, and the daemon blade is two handed

I quite like Crowe!

But not for £10.

I don't hate him. I just think his head looks comically small.

Also, it's funny how reading forums tends to put you off wanting to play a game. By which I mean it isn't funny at all. I've been reading 40K forums, and it's all 'transports are too powerful and also you will never win any games ever because you gave your models the wrong weapons.'

I wonder if this forum puts people off playing Empire?

Finlay · « **Reply #1157 on:** July 06, 2011, 03:44:45 PM »

what forum are you on?

I think the forum probably does put people off as well, too much off topic stuff allowed in areas outside CT and BT

What annoys me with other forums is that if you are new, you often get jumped on by established members, who know all their is to know, and often have fixed ideas on how good/bad something is.

What I like about coming here is that people will reply to your posts without imediately going X is poor, use Y instead.

Rufus, I don't think there is such a thing as "the wrong weapon" in 40k. The newer books tend to have very little rubbish in them.

It sure as hell would put me off, if I spent most of the time in the Electors Forum.

All this whining that's going on in almost any game-related forum is purely annoying and very offputting. And I don't give a rats ass if complaints are legitimate. If they make up the majority of conversations it's gonna kill the love, just like in a relationship.

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1160 on:** July 06, 2011, 04:19:06 PM »

Thats why I don't post in Electors forum very much Aldaris! I can't remember the last time I posted in their on a topic I didn't post up myself!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1161 on:** July 06, 2011, 05:37:25 PM »

I haven't actually joined a 40K forum yet. I've just been reading them.

The general tone is quite discouraging. I think I need to be more careful about the sort of posts I make here.

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1162 on:** July 06, 2011, 05:46:32 PM »

I can recommend Librarium Online, I have had a relatively good time on there Rufus. Warseer in the 40k Forum is brutal, but their specialist games forums are helpful.

I think thats what this forum is like tbh.

And also, the anti GW stuff must be grating, as Adaris says.

It causes me physical pain to agree with Finlay, but I do. Fortunately I can offset this by claiming I agree only with Aldaris and pretending Finlay doesn't exist, as agreeing with Aldaris is currently socially acceptable.

Established forum members here do jump on newbies sometimes. Just like every other forum. Maybe not as much, but it happens.

Case in point, Sword of Justice.

Finlay · « **Reply #1165 on:** July 06, 2011, 06:31:36 PM »

And also all my heavy weapons.

Know how I said your painting has improved leaps and bounds?

I take it all back.

On a serious note, the shiny sheen the models have, is that the flash of the camera?

Ha!

@ Finlay: Nice guardsmen! I am looking forward to see that Commander painted!

I just want to point out that I was nice to that particular new guy, and even defended him vehemently against others. Cuz I'm a good guy.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #1170 on:** July 06, 2011, 06:41:19 PM »

Like that here now, flash is the only option in that case. They're fine Finlay, especially as you'll need over 100 of them!

Quote from: Aldaris on July 06, 2011, 06:37:04 PM

Ha!

Well yes, when I posted that it was acceptable, as otherwise I would have to agree with Finlay.

Now though? Get back to your holding, peasant. Go scrounge up some turnips.
