Aztek Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Looks like I saved around 100 so I grabbed a Sanguinary Ancient and another Sanguinary Guard! Also put Death Masks on them as those have a strat now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I'd take a Baal Pred or two every game if I could full throttle and 3D6 flame dudes. Sadly that's just not the case.

BluejayJunior Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm looking forward to the book too. One of my usual opponents plays tyrannids a lot, so I'm looking forward to the new tricks our games will have. I haven't really kept up with what all is in these books other than the new rules. Are there narrative missions at all? It would be awesome to have a small narrative campaign to play. SnorriSnorrison 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Going to take one of Mort's ideas and load up on some Vanguard Veterans. They have the potential to be straight up kings for us with PA! All the storm shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Sanguinary guard (unconfirmed) dropping so many points may let then finally shine If the rumored changes are correct, even if their base price stays the same, swords going down 8 and Angelus Bolters going down 3 makes then significantly more attractive as a heavy infantry/character mulching, and powerfist potentially dropping to 7 makes a unit of them also slightly cheaper. And the strategem to give another character a warlord trait is a hidden buff for them, your actual warlord trait can be the ancient, and you can still give your smash captain what he needs. The +1 to charge rolls also makes non-DC descent of angels maybe viable? I used a unit of 8 yesterday, and even with losing 2 to defensive gunners, the remaining 6 with reroll to hit and reroll 1s to wound from an ancient turned a leman russ into scrap and put a 2nd one down to half, shock assault really helped them put a lot.

Indefragable Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Put some work in on my IX Legion while the tryptophan from all that turkey was burning off. Painting a brick of 20x Assault Marines can be laborious....so I've sprinkled in characters and a Machinekiller Veteran squad as well, painting 1x vet and 1x character for every 5x ASM I do. Helps break things up. Characters: 2x Apothecaries w/ jump and power sword 1x Forge Lord w/ jump pack, cyber familiar, bolt pistol, Blade of Perdition 1x Praetor w/ jump pack, iron halo, digital lasers, master-crafting, bolt pistol, Blade of Perdition Majkhel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I neeeeeed to start that Heresy army. By the way, tryptophan, while it can cause sleepiness, is actually less present in turkey than other poultry. There is no reason having turkey would cause any sort of sleepy reaction any more than, say, fried chicken. The cause of general fatigue after a Thanksgiving dinner is more likely to be caused by high-carb foods such as mashed potatoes.

BluejayJunior Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Was able to pre-order the Darkness in the Blood collector's edition today! I'm looking forward to getting that. SnorriSnorrison 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Was able to pre-order the Darkness in the Blood collector's edition today! I'm looking forward to getting that. Looked sold out in the US when I checked, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d loooooove those Dice and a LE copy but I feel missing out on this stuff is fate’s way of rewarding my wallet.

SnorriSnorrison Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Will the novel be available separately though? Even though I'd like the look of a vellum-bound book for my shelf, I'd rather just have the novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cruoris Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just managed to get my copy after reading this. I missed that it got released. Apparently it's still available here in Sweden. Yay! Early Christmas present from myself to myself. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluejayJunior Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It should be out in a few months. I think Spears of the Emperor came out about 6 months after the collectors edition. I got the email in the morning that it was coming out yesterday, so I was able to keep an eye out for when it went live. I hadn't seen anything about it prior to that.

SnorriSnorrison Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Okay, that’s not too bad. Gonna read city of light until then for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Welp. Believed the hype and ordered BoB. I really wanted to go down the flesh tearers route, but the +1 to charge range really makes BA phenomenal, and they get the AP-1 when assault doctrine is active anyway. Although innate Ap-2 on a flesh tearers bare hands from turn 3 would be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'd consider FT if they just had improved AP by default, however having to roll 6s really sucks. I hate having to rely on 6s and +1 to charge rolls really helps our JP units a ton so in the end the decision was an easy one unfortunately.

Blindhamster Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Okay, that’s not too bad. Gonna read city of light until then for sure! City of light comes later so you may spoil darkness in the blood in some ways.

Blindhamster Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yesterday I built a death company intercessor model and added a final model to an intercessor squad that is going go be painted up as veterans. I also won an ebay lot for blood Angels accessories so I can add blood drop pendants to my incursor squad which is otherwise built and just awaiting being under coated. Ordered a couple of dark imperium intercessor torsos which I'll use regular arms on/use the dark imperium arms on regular torsos. I've found this to be a really great way to add variation. With that I ordered a couple of crimson paladin sword arms, considering using their swords on a couple of models instead of the conversion world ones but wanted to compare in person before deciding. And ordered a few bare heads from various chapter upgrades as I like variety! Also got to rummaging through my stuff and remembered I have inbuilt aggressors which I want to do tabards on rather than the random odd dangly bits they come with. Finally, pondering adding tabards to some of the models in the veteran intercessor squad and looking at sourcing some Blood Angel thunder hammers, figure I may as well do at least one model with one!
