Just a note, the Riptide is NOT fearless. This means that purchasing those expensive shielded missile drones is opening yourself up for morale checks whenever one of them gets blown out of the sky. ...
I'm planning on using one Riptide, and either two Crisis Teams or one Crisis Team and one Stealth Team. Riptide is the big bad gap filler that, especially armed with the Ion Accelerator, can jump...
Piranhas have always been paper-thin, close-range, suicide skimmers; their role has not changed one bit. Seeker Missiles have always been overpriced and generally bad so the limiting of the new...
Page 68, in the Markerlight entry, under "Seeker."
"A seeker missile fired in this way:
- Does not need line of sight.
- Must be fired at the same target as the vehicle's
other weapons.
-...
Seekers on vehicles are fairly limited now because they must be fired at the same target that the vehicle is firing at. The rule explicitly states "vehicles" so Broadsides are exempt from that...
With Tau the lack of AP3 is due to the plethora of high-strength, high rate of fire weapons that the army gets. Tau overwhelm armor through volume of fire; fire that sticks to the targets due to S5+...
To reiterate what Dr Love said, it hasn't been killed but rather changed.
The transition to the new book hurts Deathrain more than any other traditional loadout because the free multi-trackers go...
Remember that without upgrades and additional support Overwatch is done at effective BS1. While support fire certainly helps the number of casualties you will inflict under normal circumstances are...
The book has some decent variety but the lack of unit flexibility (was actually stripped from us in part by the day 0 FAQ limiting BS2 Missile Drones to Broadsides only) is going to result in it...
With the nerf to Broadsides at least a skeleton unit with Fusion Blasters may be compulsory. Otherwise the Plasma/Missile has always been the best overall loadout and it only got cheaper with the...
Use Marker Drones instead. Take a drone squadron, upgrade all eight of them to Marker Drones for free. Attach them to a BS5 character with minimal weapons and the support system that makes the unit...
Anything S8 is good against the heaps and heaps of inexpensive S7 and the positively free S5 that the Tau have will blow off the table much faster than a single S8 shot per turn. For glancing AV14,...
The Skyray is the second best Heavy Support option behind the Hammerhead. With Broadsides being gutted and Hammerheads and Skyrays getting far cheaper, the tanks have taken over.
In the case of...
The reported new Markerlights can only increase BS by 1 so no, no BS5 Tau unless they start at BS4 or have BS5 naturally (named characters/HQ only). The masters of ranged combat will once again have...
There are many, many uses for Markerlights. Also, BS4 Tau would mean BS5 with markerlights. That would be in general two units combining for one devastating attack, as it should be, instead of two...
Tau are Imperial Guard but with worse close combat, worse shooting (and less of it), worse troops, more expensive armor, and no good HQ. Old Tau are essentially the blueprint on how to not build a...
Either a bad experience or Revell kits just aren't very good in general. Try spending $22 on a Bandai Gundam model kit and you will be blown away. Only detail painting is required and the mobile...
The Dreamforge ones have been around for a while and while they are very nice they are closer to Knight Titan size.
Once had three of the shots devastate one blob of IG with the fourth scattering WAY off to the side and landing perfectly on a command squad, Instant Death-ing them with the S6 round. Felt good to...
You get a big nice wooden base from a craft store (i.e. Micheal's) and some real thick metal dowel. When purchasing the wooden base make sure that it is appropriately massive for the Thunderhawk. ...
This is the base Blue Table Painting made for my Thunderhawk when I had them do it. It may look precarious but it was always rock solid and had zero problems.

Up for sale is my large, mostly painted Vanilla Space Marine army.

The majority of the army has been painted to table-top...
This alone would make Eldar vehicles viable again. To be worthwhile they need a points reduction or a rework of Wave Serpent Shields (designed around the idea of mitigating damage through glancing...
Tetras are 40k approved and are probably the only thing that is keeping the Tau from being one of the worst armies despite their recent buffs. With the changes to the game with 6th Markerlights...
