I think this is one of the "original sins" of 3rd Edition. 3rd established the notion of the cover save and it's stuck ever since. I really, genuinely think the mechanic makes no sense. Why is...

I do not mean to impugn the members of your gaming group, but...

1x1 millimeter holes really shouldn't be giving you LOS under True LOS. I mean... obviously it's a judgment call which is the...

Gotta strongly disagree here. Although things are different enough to avoid the perfect storm of Rhino Rushing we had in 3rd Edition (lack of hull points, smoke launchers causing auto-glance,...

What one rule would you change and why? I'm thinking of the core ruleset, but if something really bothers you about a rule in a Codex, you can list that too. This topic comes up every now and...

The first time I opened the 3rd Edition rulebook. I still think it's the best introduction to the 40K Universe. I also loved the Armageddon Codex. Both of these, however, are partially fueled by...

I was reading through the Tau Codex over the weekend and was enjoying GW's overview of the Tau fluff and some of the expanded explanation of the 3rd Sphere Expansion.

I subsequently picked up my...

Haven't had this problem either. If the shine is really giving you problems, you might try giving a quick coat of matte varnish though.

Slate Magazine has a fairly positive profile of 40K and the military. Always kinda cool to see some mainstream media attention for the hobby...

Huh. So Acute Senses is now +1 to outflank? That'll be handy to DE who all have acute senses and no outflanking units.

I sense that one is going to get FAQ'd to Night Vision...

Soooo...ugly...

Ugggghhhhh...why is the Storm Talon so hideous? It's like they took everything bad about the Storm Raven and made it worse. It's atrocious...

I like the Bomba, though. The...

I genuinely cannot conceive of that happening. If that happened, especially at a tournament, I could see the guy being ejected. I should also add, I don't think anyone would take a game that...

Maybe I'm just lucky with my opponents, but I think I'd be comfortable with most people I've played against in my area playing with my army. I 100% understand any reluctance to, but I think I'd be...

With all the discussion of armies being overpowered (GK Razorback/Psiflemen Dread spam, Space Wolves with 15 Long Fang missile launchers, IG leafblowers, et al), has anyone considered army swapping?...

This has been discussed to death, but...

It's not even that the entire GK army is undercosted or broken. It's just a few items. Purifiers are undercosted. Psiflemen dreads are undercosted (and...

Everyone knows Warmachine is better. It has a much tighter ruleset and it's for serious, hardcore competitors, unlike 40K. 40K is painting little toy army men and pushing them around a table. ...

Ehhh, too "techie" for me. Their armor looks well designed and advanced and they look altogether too futuristic.

I still prefer my Guardsmen with a greatcoat or flak vest.

I'm actually rather skeptical of Obyron, myself. It seems like he doesn't have much of a place in a Zahndrekh list unless you put him in a squad of Lychguard or on Zahndrekh's Catacomb Command...

Eh. You may very well be right (I've never tried taking Imotekh or vanilla Overlods), but I like Zahndrekh for the same reason I like Trazyn: their fluff is just freaking cool.

What I'm saying...

I think I'll give this one a try. As you note, the chance to bust a tank is great, but the midfield (or backfield) threat from those Immortals can really push an opponent off balance.

It seems extremely risky, but I rather like the Veil/Immortal/Tank-Hunter combo. I think it'd be imprudent in a lot of cases, but for busting up midfield assault tanks/dreadnoughts/transports, it...

Since we have a Zahndrekh model on the way, this seems to be a pretty ideal to bring up a topic on what units synergize best with Zahndrekh's tactical abilities (adding USRs to your units).
...

Well. That's impressive...

I wonder how much that thing weights. Even if it's just plastic, that's gotta add up...

1) I think the best things that GW has are the Foundations and washes (erm...Bases and Shades). I think the expansion of those two lines is the best part of all of this for that very reason. And...

1) No such thing as too big as long as you're still having fun.

2) I've always been way too ADD to build up an army of that size. I hit 2 or 3K in an army and even if I love them, I instantly...

Blue and khaki guardsmen? This sounds familiar somehow.
