Mr. Mystery, I must say 'well done'; I disagree with your premise, but your argument is well stated and compelling.

I'm VERY interested in that Lord of Battles for my Chaos IG army, but I'm not digging the ACTUAL giant Chaos Warrior who makes up the top half. I might get one, keep the bottom half, and convert the...
I think it's one of the better HH books. It does a better job of fleshing out and humanizing Perturabo than many of the other Primarchs have benefited from - and that's saying something,...
I'd split the difference on the side of clean-looking marines, but you could include a little chaos influence, particularly among the leaders like Eidolon and Fabius Bile - those guys were already...
Chronowraith is completely right, and I say that having spent years in M2 Bradley mech infantry so I know a thing or two about tracked vehicles. The Fellblade has some glaring problems as a...
I seem to recall that it used to be much more likely to fight to a draw in a game of 40K, or at least have narrative qualifiers like "minor victory." It seems much more clear-cut now in terms of...
TBH I'm finding my Rhinos to still be very useful. Now they keep moving almost constantly until they either blow up or get glanced to death, dropping off troops, blocking LoS, impeding enemy...
Speaking of lack of mechanical aptitude based on the cover art...
It's pretty rare that I ever need a giant drill when I'm fixing a car or another piece of metal machinery. I guess this guy is...
Anyway.. :rolleyes:
I'm betting Noise Marines are going to amazing, given the 6th Ed emphasis on medium ranged firepower and high initiative. The only potential hitch will be if they are...
He may have meant "worse" from either a narrative or real-time-to-do-all-the-rolls standpoint, in which case I would personally agree with him. Before, when I inflicted wounds on Paladins, they got...
..And everybody else will be trying to get those three glancing hits with their krak grenades etc to turn it into a pile of scrap metal. With the exception of furiosos, dreds didn't fare...
Ironically, the Blood Angels are now the most xenophobic SM chapter based on the allies chart. I find this odd; a few months ago I would have called them one of the most "liberal" and dogmatically...
First off, you're right.
That said, in the case of Banshees etc. we're talking about a space elf or a muscle-man or a green monster poking you with a sword. In the case of a DC Dred we're...
I had a GK Librarian and a big unit of Paladins make my Sanguinary Guard and a unit of hammernators look like chumps in a game last night. The Paladins had already taken four plasma pie-plate direct...
Let Death Company Tycho get a charge in on him, and see how he likes 7 WS7, S5 attacks at I5 that reroll a missed wound and "ignore armor saves." If he does survive he can work his way through...
Mephiston is pulling up a bar stool right next to Abbadon.
I've combed through the appendixes, no mention of Tycho or the Dead Man's Hand. Also no mention in the FAQ. Looks to me like he is I5 and allows "no armor save." Woo-hoo! :D
You need to get hooked on Tycho.
I think he's the only character in Codex BA (and the only SM I can think of) who negates 2+ at higher than I1, in this case a whopping I5! Unless somebody can...
Based on everything I can find, CPT Tycho from the Blood Angels is the only character in that codex, and one of the only SM's I can think of, who negates 2+ save at higher than I1, in this case at...
This is a shooty game now; DC with bolters are actually a very shooty unit, one of the best marriages between shooting and assault in the BA codex. It may not be a good idea to unload on a unit...
That's exactly what I did in a game earlier today, worked out pretty well. The LR lasted until turn 3 under the sustained fire of 2 Exorcists, two multimeltas outside of 12", and finally got...
I'm with Black Hydra on this one; just tell your opponent you're fielding a Genestealer cult, unless they are total tools they will be fine with it. Of course, the flipside of this coin is that your...
Oy vey... I play Chaos and my son plays Dark Angels. Add in the new BRB and it's gonna be an expensive few months for me.
I was referring to the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of conflict. Strategy is how the military forces directly accomplish the nation's (or the Imperium's, or the Chaos Gods', etc.)...
Theirkin, you seem to be confusing "game theory" with "strategy" with "operational art" with "tactics." If you really want GW fiction to address the Ends-Ways-Means formulation of strategy, with...
