Grand Master Laertes

I haven't been on the forum for years now, but I am so happy to see that you haven't abandoned your biggest project and are still working on it! Your dedition is inspiring!

I asked for rules to use the Forgeworld Mechanicum models in games of 40k, as was promised with the (now cancelled) Fires of Cyraxus book.

Be warned that some Warhammer stores are not receiving their weekly shipments either. I have been a couple of times in my nearest store and they did not have yet the "new releases" of the previous week. Covid and Brexit related issues (expecially Brexit, for those of us that are in continental Europe).

The trygon

The simple answer? Yes, I haven't played since 7th edition, and still I kept buying and painting models. The longest answer: I have different approaches in the two situations. When I have time to play I focus on adding new units to my army and painting them fast, in time for the next game. When I don't play I collect and paint whatever catches my fantasy, even if I don't plan to ever collect that faction, trying to learn new techniques and improve my skills.

According to an interview with Jervis Johnson back in the days of the 2nd edition, everyone involved in wh40k decided that squats were a bad idea and should not come back, so it's not just Alan or Jes.

I am waiting one order that was shipped by GW on the 8th of June and still hasn't arrived... UK to Italy

They've previously been asked to make the full WD back-catalogue available as a digital product, but they've said that it'd take too much work to optimise them correctly for digital consumption (this was despite the person asking saying a PDF is fine, and generating a PDF from a DTP application should be easy ...) (I can't remember whether that was on Warhammer Community or in a recentish White Dwarf) Consider that each issue is composed by many files, so you'd have to generate 10+pdfs for issue and merge them together. Multiply it for the number of released issues and add the fact that surely gw changed its dpt software more than once in the years, and that the oldest files might be read correctly by the latest versions of the software... So, yeah, it is NOT easy at all, and it would be extremely time-consuming

TITH I completed the model that had been sitting the longest in the unfinished pile: bought and started 16 years ago! How liberating!

I love you, this is amazing!

Or a Tech-marine (that could have more equipment cards than other low-level characters) on a bike with targeting array and vortex grenade. He could speed wherever on the battlefield and kill whatever you wanted with 2+ on turn 1. I remember having that done to me I remember spending hours as a kid trying to cut a metal Techmarine in half with a file so I could convert him... But the instant death of my friend's Daemon Prince and Abaddon was well worth the effort
