Warhammer 40k

No. I remember him saying that and trying, but with no success from his end. I just got all of that setup today. I don’t know enough about it yet to just dive in and try to split them, but in the next few days I will unless one of you fine gentleman beat me to it.

Tactical squads can't have a heavy and a special weapon in a 5 man. (not sure if you'd prefer more meltas or flamers)

How much did all of this set you back, BTW? Not that money is an object, I'm just wondering what kind of figure nets you a totally complete army?

Have you looked much into making your own gaming table to go along with it, modelling the terrain and all? I was in the hobby shop recently and the figure I got was $200 for a basic terrain table, $500 for a table with massive detail and ultra realism.

Imagine this beautiful army of yours on your very own built from scratch terrain table! You got to do it, man.

So, I was offered a promotion at work that requires me to move. I took the offer. Since I am looking for another place, I want to try and find a multi bedroom house or (maybe) an apartment with multiple rooms. Mainly so my son or guests have a place to stay, but I do want a gaming room. I already had intentions of making my own terrain pieces and purchasing some, but I hadn’t considered my own table…. until now. I suppose that’s the next logical step. If I did, then I would definitely build a second army so they can stand off against each other for eternity.

As for how much it set me back, I’m not exactly sure. I have spent about $1400 out of my personal bank account, but anytime I was sent out of town for work, my per diem was paid on gift cards. I hate using gift cards, so they have piled up over the last three years. I have kept a rough tally and I am sitting around $2700 to $3000 spent on everything so far. That also includes all of the building and painting supplies as well.

I still have 5 more orders coming in sometime this week. Once those come in, I’ll get one more family photo of the lot before I tear into my first 500 point army so I can st least play once or twice before I move.

Be patient and maintain forward progress

Edit: respect the process as it takes as long as it takes things, but keep "going" even if it involves re-doing or "not perfect" implementations like Dremeling something u can't quite make fit as intended (just did it to land speeder). Frustration is a result of expectation, manage accordingly and enjoy the time unplugged.

DAMN! You Dremeling Models, Nirgy? Did you fix the Grav-Pads on that repulsor as well?

What’s to fix on the grav-pads? I have a few vehicles with those.

Looking for a cheap Impulsor stand if anyone has one. Unless I should just use a wooden rod and some black 3.0

The building and painting is what I’m looking forward to the most. It’s why I’m spending so much on my supplies because I plan to make this into my full on hobby. At some pount, I want to venture into painting and selling on eBay. Not necessarily to make huge bank, just a tad profit for my time and the satisfaction that something I made is on someone else’s table.

Agents of the Imperium. Models outside of your faction that don’t break strategems?

Ya I mean, I'm giving straight advice here. I'm learning and have fucked with it hard.

But I've also played a few times and combined autisms with 20+ year vet dudes who helped me refine and make alternate lists.

If I didn't let go of some stupid little things along the way, and "just make things work" I wouldnt have been "painted", playing or into alternate list building.

Trust me I'm not fucking Picasso xD, no one here will be. Maybe get real good but no Golden Demons.

40k is tite.
Raven guard basically has to go first
Then you gotta hope I don't drop pod or have some fast attack transport just flank the fuck outta you.

Zero fears of going second, in fact people going first can fuck themselves over gloriously.

I had tons of shots at my repulsor which popped smoke, survived turn 1 and that was all their shooting.

I had heard boasts of "that thing is definitely gone turn 1, forget it". It turns gaunts into chewed up licorice after that. Then it's still alive and quickly moves blade guards where they need to be for counter charges.

It did die later after that.

Game 2? Survived the *whole thing*.

It didn't go like YouTube said it would, BUD.

I hate going 1st in 40k. I always feel like I over extend, could be way over exposed and will get shot at and charged when then opposition goes.

Thankfully in Kill Team you roll for initiative at the beginning of each turning point(round). While I prefer to go 2nd in the 1st turning point, I then prefer to go 1st in each subsequent turning point because that is usually when the slaughter begins.

Get good at going second

Your reserves and deep strikes are kew anyways, no touchin em

Deep Striking with Allarus Terminators is my favorite past time.
