Dom_ Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Heyo. Which of you is Dominic and which of you is Jamie? You forgot to let me know your B&C handle, so I can't square up the donations to my satisfaction; I want to make sure I'm super transparent and everything is on the up-and-up. I thought I put my handle in, but I'm Dominic. Unless there is another?

Millicant Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm a bit torn, as I think the Betrayal at Calth set is a great box, but I also see the advantage of a single smaller Forgeworld set. If I were starting my collection over from scratch, I think I might prefer a single awesome FW set. Then again, I'm more of a hobbyist and someone who games often might prefer the box. Brothers, what are your thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318650-noooo-farewell-dear-bc/page/5/#findComment-4297824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'd go for the BaC over a FW set, but I've a dislike of resin (i know, i know...) andlove the ease of the plastic and avoid the AL at all cost! nobody wins when the magical-space-wizard-ninja-unicorns-pirate-cyborgs enter the game. Really, nobody. Nobody knows who's side they are on, least of all them.

Balthamal Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 AL Exodus, Dynat, Skorr Alpha striking, cool assassins, lots of shooty, many armour marks suit them Alpharius rules funny Lernean are cool! Negatives - Lack of character driven narrative All one colour Alpharius weak Traitors limited allies / ROW no allies Not to seem too argumentative but regarding the negatives you've listed: There's massive scope for character driven armies with the AL - nobody knows exactly what they're about so you have pretty much free reign to impose any theme you want on them. Dynat is a perfect example of that - showing that despite the perception of complete anonymity outside the Legion, there are individuals who are far more than a sneaky sneaky assassinate approach. Same with the colour. There's several shades of blue from the metallic to the darker blue you see in the 40k scheme but there's also black, silver and bronze thrown in for good measure too so plenty to keep it interesting. As for the loyalists/traitor effort, they can be what you want. The only time that falls over is if you take one of the named characters who can only be taken in traitor lists. And if you want allies, just don't take a RoW or at the very least stick to the generic ones :) And finally, Alpharius weak? Definitely not. He's never going to stamp other Primarchs in the way Horus or Angron will be he can more than do the job against anything else plus giving preferred enemy everything to the whole army is the biggest bonus any Primarch gives. And you don't have to wait for his model ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318650-noooo-farewell-dear-bc/page/5/#findComment-4299075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't have to wait for his model ;) Yea I should put some qualifiers in ( this was just my notes ..oops! ) Alpharius isn't weak, but as you say he won't stomp the other primarchs I play against... The character driven thing ... I agree there is scope, but unfortunately there are few characters in BL novels ATM in the AL that I love yet.... Whereas there are plenty inIF / WS ....however I do like the AL a lot! Hard choices :).

GhostMalone Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Here at the b&c once your considered a brother an active member of our community people do whatever they can in whatever manner they can to help each other out, this can be seen from the annual donation drive to the charitable events for fraters and moderators. Many of us even send rare oop models to other fraters I personally received a bunch of raptor back packs and have sent a rogue trader Predator many pewter Deamons of Nurgle and other bits and bobs to fraters who would put them to use. At the end of the day the more you put in to the community the better our hobby is Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318650-noooo-farewell-dear-bc/page/5/#findComment-4300311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey everybody - just so you know, I have neither died nor run off to Mexico with the money. Real life got in the way for a while. I will be logging into my PayPal account later today to sort out where we're at.
