I can have bloodlines again. Everything else is irrelevant to me.

So, hey. It's been a while. Basically, I couldn't get a game of Fantasy, and some friends of mine got into 40k, so I went back to 40k. I'm having fun, but I miss Fantasy. And then GW murdered it, and now I really miss Fantasy. But I've still got all these books and models, so if I can still...

Hey, people who know a lot about dremels, I'd appreciate some insight into this. When I switch my dremel on, it has become loud and scary. It took me a while to figure this out, but I think that, despite being at the lowest setting, it is at the highest. I have not tried switching it to a...

Turns out there is a legal way. You take an archite glaive and a djinn blade, then swap the djinn blade for the agonizer. It's like a 30 point WYSIWYG tax. We also need a FAQ on whether or not Trueborn count as "Kabalite Warriors" for the purposes of the Kabalite Raiding Party formation. (I...

My local source for metal rods and tubes has become unreliable. Can anyone suggest an online resource? Also, functionally, what's the difference between brass and copper? The displays in hobby and art supply stores tend to be in such disarray that I can't tell which is which, let alone if one...

The Succubus is equipped illegally. (She has to give up her close combat weapon for the archite glaive, but then at the top of the melee weapons list, it says she'd have to give up her close combat weapon for the agonizer as well.)

It's kind of amazing to me how often that's the case - where I'm meh, or even dislike a model in the photos, but then completely change my mind about it when I see it in person. Fortunately, the reverse is almost never true. The only case I can think of where I liked the models in photos and...

My understanding is that the White Dwarf does not contain the rules. It does list the melee options only for the Acothyst only. Power mauls aren't on that list, so maybe they're a unit upgrade? The hex rifle, liquifier, and ossefactor remain mysterious.

I agree. And it looks like they can get power mauls now? In addition to whatever the heck the ossefactor does. (Presumably some sort of bone growth effecting gun.) Why the heck aren't they releasing the new codex first? Even if I bought these now, I'd be an idiot to assemble them without...

Existing units without models would be the Voidraven, most of the special characters, and arguably Trueborn and Bloodbrides. I suppose a case could also be made for the single pose Grotesque model. Am I forgetting anything? I've seen a number of rumors claiming that, with the exception of Vect...

I'm a little annoyed that, as I have 3rd ed Space Hulk, the only way for me to get the new tiles and missions is to buy 3rd ed Space Hulk again. (I will not be buying 3rd ed Space Hulk again.)

This tutorial from the Dark Eldar forum might be useful. It uses free software called Battle Chronicler.

I definitely wouldn't want to feel like I was forcing the new list/rules on my opponent. I'm content to ask for permission while this is debated just to make sure everybody's having a good time. Also, I'm a bit worried about how powerful the Undead Legion might turn out to be. Hero, I thought...

Interesting thought. Dire Wolves are faster and 4 points cheaper though, which is significant enough that I think that Dire Wolves are just outright better as redirectors. Also, I don't think Skeleton Horsemen are fast cav. But that does change how I see them in the context of Tomb Kings...

I think End Times games need to be established beforehand. If you surprise a player with an End Times army when they were expecting a regular game of Warhammer, you are denying them the 50% lords/heroes and access to Lore of Undeath that they otherwise would have access to.

Yeah, I noticed that vagueness too. My personal feeling is that this a campaign book, and that the rules contained within in it are specifically for use in that campaign. But it doesn't explicitly say one way or the other. Apart from trying to answer that question, though, I've barely looked at...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I feel like like I've leveled up quite a bit lately with green stuff, particularly with my Golden Bat entry. I've learned a huge amount from working on these projects, and now I'm exploring what I'm capable of now that I didn't think I was before. I've...

I didn't. I got my set when they came out, and I can't imagine playing without them. But a quick check on Ebay reveals the Vampire Counts spell cards going for $30-$70 USD, and I wouldn't pay that.

I think they're incredibly useful. Of course, there's no reason why you can't just write the rules for the spells down on card-sized pieces of paper.

Has there been a leak that "mortarch" is another word for "Dark Lord of Nagash"?
