From my perspective, the rule of cool applies.
I buy FW primarily because I like the model. If the rules are good, that's a bonus! I'll field them because they fit the theme of my army, or just on a...

It might be worth looking at FASA for an example of how fast things can go down hill. When 40K came out, around 1987, Battletech was the dominant Sci-Fi tabletop/board game, huge IP, expansion into...

Sadly that is not entirely correct. The entry for Gargantuan creatures states that GCs are treated as MCs except as listed. The debate is whether the wording of "may fire each weapon" negates the MC...

Gargantuan creatures follow the rules for MC with changes as listed under GC. Since MC can only fire 2 weapons, there is a line of reasoning that the "can fire each weapon against a different target"...

I should point out the "two weapons only" is a debatable position for GCs. Even taking it as correct, currently Tau suits have multitrackers integral (not listed under wargear) which, if continued...

If we have drone troops, this would call for a large drone conversion for an HQ, (counts as Commander battlesuit); maybe a Pathfinder Drone, or a Riptide shield generator as the base model...

Hardly; gun drones with BS2 are about 10% more likely to hit than Firewarriors with BS3 (55% vs 50%). Marker drones are not great at BS2, but that's what drone controllers are for.

Yah, that's why I'd put a sheet of acrylic over it; to protect it from dings. I think a 90" to 100" should be big enough to use as a 4x6 game table. By the time I actually have a dedicated room, that...

My plans include a computer workstation; doubles as DVD/movie player, music system, useful for army building (Army builder, etc) Electronic codices, etc etc etc; tied into a 40"ish TV on a wall.

Makes me think of the German 88mm from WWII. Used as both heavy Anti-Aircraft, Anti Tank, and on at least one occasion Artillery. Nice bit of engineering :)

I was idly considering the who issue of turn sequencing (how does the game structure work) and the issue of who gets first turn as a game balance issue, and started wondering how would alternative...

I dunno, the "Struggle" suggestion sounds amusing :)

Presuming the new FW box will dual kit with Pathfinders. If so, since the sprues will/should have special weapons, what is the chance that FW might get a special rifle per squad?

The new Riptide...

In my digital copy of the codex it lists Jetbikes under the equipment for rangers (along with many other typos). Anyone else got that?
I see plasma grenades have lost pinning; not a big loss given...

Just had a silly idea last night; with the WK now getting stomp, I now feel the urge to paint and pose one like Fred Astaire; Top hat, Tux(with tails), cane etc in a "putting on the ritz" kinda pose,...

Like the Tau had to wait a long time till they got a new codex? It got left behind in the power creep for a long time. Since it was my other primary army my response was "Guess I'd better improve my...

Oh don't be silly, everyone knows that no elder player will field anything except D spam and Scatterlaser bikes again /sarc

I find it "curious" that the doomsayers automatically assume that all...

Those must be the new JetWraithbikes(TM) the Eldar are supposed to be getting :D

They actually look pretty cool, might have to try converting my old bikes to that style (mostly so I don't have to...

I'll agree it's much harder,but you can scratch build a decent Eldar model from bitz; I built a Wraith Centaur out of leftovers from several kits, just to see what I could do with them. While it's...

I noticed something interesting in the formation chart; for the Vauls engines choice it refers to "unit of" Falcons or Nightspinners or fire prisms. Unless they're just being seriously generic, that...

So, does this mean we'll be able to do a set of 40k Russian dolls? A space marine in power armor in a Centurion in a Dreadnaught in a Knight in a Reaver in a Warlord?

Regarding the battle "reports", a couple of points to consider:
1) What were the relative point costs of the units?
2)The opponents appeared to have been chosen for a battle of the titans cage...

Happy to say I can field almost everything; only 2 fighters (one of mine, one my wifes) so Crimson death is beyond me. Oh well. To quote R.L. Stevenson "Variety is the spice of battle"

The new...

Yah the math is horribly tempting (avg about 6-7 dead MEQ/salvo), especially with the range, but the armor pen is lower than ShuriCannon( avg about 7-8MEQ/) , even without bladestorm potential. I''m...

If you can field jetbikes at 1 Scatter laser each, that makes me wonder, what role do they see for the Vyper? Missile and brightlance support? (and I notice its listed as a requirement for most of...
