BA Today

[Ornithologist]

Its a Terminator Sargent. The camera on my phone has started fogging up in the last few months. But my phone is over 2 years old at this point, so its likely time for a new one anyway... But that's a problem for when I have money.

Here is something that happened today:

What is interesting about this is that originally they told me 35 day wait for two items. Guess I was pretty high on the list or something. Not shown is the number of items, which is 21 items.

However, pile of shame needs to be updated I guess.

Well.... I must say that even THAT ONE visible item makes me bite my fingernails <sooo jelaous>

But I'm glad that you'll get it fast

I saved for over half a year for this one order. I've sold a bunch of computer stuff , scrimped here and there just to build up a good order. The May "Free dread weapon" as well as a short dip in currency exchange kind of solidified my final push of the button I think.  I don't have a huge discretionary income so I tried to make it count with items I can routinely use in both 40k and possibly 30k.

From a teaser for FW's Book 8: Malevolence....apparently from the Twitch stream. No real other useful information, apparently.

 

Also, I guess this is the cover for Malevolence (wow....look at the deamony warp storm thingy in the background!)

These models could be reason enough to buy stuff from forgeworld :P

[Paladin777]

That model is BAD@$$!!! Now we need rules for a Tartarus captain!

[Brother Aether]

Absolutely enamored with the above model, Indefragable – just incredible (also agreeing with Paladin777 and dread05).

 

The Chaplain Dread will be my first FW purchase, but I might need to increase my purchases from them after seeing that!

[Spagunk]

The pose is typical but the amount of details is AMAZING!!!! I want it!

[dread05]

That's tartaros pattern btw?

[Ornithologist]

Be Aware the Chaplain dread is getting taken down soon. its on last chance to buy right now.

[Panzer]

I'd be definitely getting one if GW didn't introduce Primaris to 40k. I feel kinda bad for the FW guys. ^^

Thanks for looking out – I have already ordered one so I'm covered

[dread05]

My space hulk terminators arrived this weekend, (or at least, I got them to my hands) and sadly one of them, brother Deino, had a snapped purity seal. You'd say no big deal, it can be fixed, but when I pay 8,5 euros for a plastic figure that was listed as new, unopened, undamaged, I'd rather it'd be that. I asked for a refund and the seller asked me to shipping it back to him and he will replace it. I did that, but I dont have much hope for such things anymore. :P

[Soulhunter1995]

Well I finally won a game with my Blood Angels on Saturday against Admech and Necrons  1500 pts Free for all and I just managed to scrape through by 1 point

[Marcus Arias]

That BA Praetor is soo lovely! As they've done with the Alpha Legion Praetors, I am hoping there's going to be a PA version as well.

Well done, brother. A win is a win!

 

Any insights gleaned? What did you learn from your battle?

[Soulhunter1995]

Thank you kindly  Well I was playing a rather shooty list which admittedly is not the usual BA way to play but what I have learned is that distraction carnifex's are our friends or at least mine :) deep striking a Cataphractii Termie Captain & a 10 man Cataphractii Termie squad with lightning claws certainly takes the heat off the rest of your forces.

 

Oh and I also discovered how terrifying Ad Mech are in the shooting phase, especially the Kastellan Robots... 36 shots against one primaris sargent and the sarge still managed to survive

They are great models. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending one back for a broken purity seal though. Was the broken bit still there or was it missing? I would have just glued it back if it wasn't missing.

[The Unseen]

Well, so far I'm the reigning champ in my local escalation league at 500 pts.

5-0 I think.

I'm the only guy playing an aggressive list, so everyone else is running a gunline of some kind, and so far none of them have to the tools to deal with Captain+10 pistol/knives+6 scout bikers in their deployment zone turn 1.

 

Captain has earned quite a few more warlord kill notches.

We'll see if the record holds up when we move up to 1000, and people get a lot more options.

Well I guess that will change once they got the points for some screening units and/or transports. Unless other armies pose a bigger problem than that single aggressive BA army. ^^

 

Still congrats on your wins tho. ;)

FW's BA Terminator pads are Last Chance to Buy folks :(

On the Forge World topic - looks like the Termite joined the ranks of things that can assault turn 1 in a post-beta world.

Does it start to look like pay-to-play already?

You mean like literally any other unit with some kind of reserve rule? ^^
