Nomus Sardauk Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I made a Dread. "SO I HEARD YOU WERE TALKING :cuss AND DIDN'T THINK I'D FIND OUT." Xenith, LutherMax and marine7312000 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 OOFT He is ready to lay the smack down. How did you do the walking legs? Multiple offerings to the blood god. Both hips were cut away at the join leaving as much of the pistons intact. Do this while the dread legs are still in their halves, its much easier. The right leg was simply rotated back, but the left leg had the knee cut away from the hip, and in turn cut away from the ankle. the ankle was rotated to let the foot be flat on the floor when stepping forward, and moving the piston (now at the front) back to the inside shin. Cables were cut away before I began and then re-positioned, or replaced entirely with guitar wire. Any chance of some close up pics? Really wanna try that! I'll get some soon, it's fiddly, but worth it. I'll make a tute on the next dread, I guess. Charlo and evildrcheese 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hey now! Of all things my Dreads are painted! The Leviathan is still in a baggee though waiting to be cleaned mind you... I'll probably make a small 30k detachment purely so I can bring a Leviathan with Assault Cannon nips. Should probably buy an actual Lucius pod too....

Jolemai Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Should probably buy an actual Lucius pod too.... Pretty much. They let me get away with using a Drop Pod as a Lucius in regular games (as they do non-painted models, small amounts of model rep, etc) but not in the Apoc. Can't even run my Whirlwind Hyperios as a Scorpius (though they let me run it as a Whirlwind but w/e) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Our Apoc game scheduled for April/ May next year! Stars are aligning for it to be a good'un! We have some semi-strict rules on stuff needing to be painted and having rules in book form where possible etc. So the photos look awesome and the games run smooooth!

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok I've dug through so many threads here already with no luck --- am I crazy or did someone post 2 pictures from the Angels Blade battles that showed SG fighting chaos in one photo and DC doing the same in another?

Damon Nightman Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not sure Gunz... i'll take a look in the book though when i start reading it later tonight I've had this thought since about a week ago and i know it's incredibly unlikely, like super incredibly unlikely, but what if in the not so distant future they revist the SOB campaign with updated/new FT stuff and new Tyranid stuff... Now again this probably won;t happen at least anytime soon, but who else are the nids fighting? and it seems like they almost intentionally left things out of our book. I mean there's noway to prove that.. but idk just a weird feeling or thought that i got when i was reading all the leaks that weren't living up to expectations so to speak... Tyranids need and updatge, only other thing i can think of for them would be... i'm afraid to even say it.... Sistas of battle... (They are coming back with a righteous fury, and lots of soul...)

Jolemai Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 So I was right? Lol I jest To be fair we had no idea at the time. We also looked into having our next Apocalypse battle at Warhammer World (with an eye on getting noticed ;)) but the costs (in £ and wife faction) of staying up in Nottingham for three/four days was too much.

I've only been once! But it was a hell of a way to come out of 40k retirement :P And the rule is you can't use text speak abbreviations like "M8" What U doing" etc. I think a few things are tolerated like IMO etc. The rule is simply: No chat or "leet" speak Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Got a 1k points game tomorrow! (Hopefully...) 4 Way brawl against: DA OR Guard Guard Orks Other than Squad Firestorm and then at least two more pods with Dreads in (Fragioso and Libby probs) unsure what to bring! May keep it cheap and bring a Veritas or something for some good deployment advantages. No FW or Formations - we're keeping it nice I may even use a CAD instead of BSF, who doesn't love Scoring Cassor? ALSO - if anyone knows of any good rules to keep 4 player a little bit fairer, please speak up! Apparently there is a 6th edition supplement on BL (currently £1) called carnage that handles it pretty well?

Tyriks Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Only let one player attempt to deny the Witch at a time. My first game running a librarian was a 4 player game and I never cast a single spell successfully, it was extremely frustrating. I think I periled myself to death from putting every warp charge into quickening every turn hoping I could get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or split the deny dice amongst all enemies evenly, but they get their own pool too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Probably a better question for the DW guys, but has anyone tried or know if the DW squad (not the special one from overkill but just the 5 genetic DW squad) to mix those parts with other marine/armor marks? I know there's the whole upright pose or possibly bigger in general bits, but does anyone think I could put one of those legs with a SG torso or use the DW torso on DC legs? Would the DW bits look too big? Edited September 20, 2016 by Brother Lemartes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
