Arkaniss Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The Orks have apologised! Turns out they actually spent all day optimising thier combined 3k with formations and us BA guys didn't really have any prior communication. I just showed up with my previous list My gaming group has tried team games many times over the years and it always seems to end up massively one sided. One side plot and plan and create lists that synergise and tie in with their battleplan to fight the armies they are facing... and the other side turn up with lists after a brief conversation a day before the game and try and figure it out as they go... I don't know why it just always goes that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Pretty much! We forged the Narrative but there wasn't an awful lot to forge with our lists! Oh well, I'll have some Rapiers soon to pummel the Greenskins with. Maybe a Leviathan :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Luther, I'd say go for a Chainfist Contemptor for sure! The shield can represent the Invulnerable save, and a Chainfist can represent the extra Ooomph the hammer has over a regular DCCW. Sounds like a plan, cheers Helion! I reckon he's gonna look pretty sweet in red with some markings from the BA transfer sheet Edited July 7, 2016 by LutherMax CaptainHelion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Once they are built I'll be sure to get some up! If not the 3rd party thread has some examples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Been thinking today of an idea for a list that I want to share and see if it would be somewhat viable.I feel like I've seen a similar list before on this or a different forum a while back so apologies if I'm stealing someone else's idea. I started thinking about this after reading the BA tactics article...2 FTSFs4 priests4x10 assault squads geared with melta guns or flamers and pw on Sgt.1-3 x5 man DC with PFAdd prefered troops and whatever shooting support that may be helpful.Priests with assault squads moving up middle or flanks while DC do the opposite.Sounds fun to me... Either opponent is scared of DC and focuses them or realizes the assault squads are pseudo DC and tries to take them out letting the actual DC move up...Edit: sorry if this wasn't appropriate for this thread, didn't mean to halt conversation here lol, please ignore if so Edited July 8, 2016 by Brother Lemartes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Works for me. With a priest granting the RAS +1WS and FNP they become surprisingly effective, especially if you manage to get a good charge roll and get rage. Hitting and wounding most things on a 3+ on the charge is really nice. In terms of support you can go with either some drop dreads or some Fast Baals and Vindicators, they can screen the jumpers well. Even just one Dread put into a precarious position could get your opponent to react poorly and fall into your trap. AS FOR ME: I'm sat coming to terms with the fact that we are probably going to get some 40k rules for the Kharybdis in the next IA Book and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to buy one. A land raider sized drop pod with pinning missile launchers and heart blasts that could clear out an entire parking lot is just too good to pass up...

Jolemai Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 They also had a super heavy tank with a S7 AP3 cannon that shoots a blast with a Radius of 3D6. Yup. Dave's Skullhamma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave's Skullhamma?Nah it was someone else's Bursta Kannon on a Killtank or something. Sort of nasty. It was very lucky when it killed 3 SG. 6 wounds, 3 1's rolled in saves, FNP of a 3,3,4 :( Edited July 9, 2016 by Charlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Aye! Main problem was that Meltacide whiffed, only did 3HP on the drop. Even after the sarge survived a hail of shootas and a failed ork charge, his two inferno pistol hits in turn 2 failed to do anything but one glance. Melta bomb did the same.

marvmoogy Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 My (fledgling) BA's today got some sternguard reinforcements. I've built them up as MEQ-killers - plasma pistol on the sergeant, plasma gun, combi-plasma and a heavy bolter. Not my normal kind of load out in any of my armies....but hoping the difference of it will make it a fun unit to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Can anyone give me any pointers to how to paint the canopy of a storm raven? I'm refurbing a couple and the plastic frosted up during stripping so I need to paint them up. I'm thinking like a gradienting (is that even a word?) blue or green.

LutherMax Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Start with a dark colour (dark green or dark blue) and paint it all over. Then paint diagonal 'bands' each time mixing in a bit more of your brighter corresponding blue or green. Make the dark corner the same position on each panel (e.g. top left) as you're looking straight at it. In plan view: http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/stormraven-cockpit-gradient.png Edited July 10, 2016 by LutherMax marvmoogy, Father Mapple and Lucumon 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I just plain covered mine in GW green ink, the old one. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) If you would rather have them transparent / tinted, apparently gloss varnish or olive oil will remove the frosting... Edit: that's varnish frosting, but I see now you said it happened when stripping so not sure if it'll work...

evildrcheese Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yeah since they went cloudy during stripping I primed them as well, so there's no going back. It's cool though as I'll paint 2 and then my 3rd raven has the transparent canopy so that one can be the squad leader. EDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Today: Casually sat at work thinking about how we are probably minimum a year away until we get some 30k BA Specific units and characters info...
