Not sure I have ever been this wired about an RP book , but they had me at the cover art MinemineMINE !!
Path of the Renegade was good BTW people I’m looking forward to Andy C expanding a bit, path of the Incubus FTW.
In other NEws I have played around six games with the Tantalus so far , I cant make it work I give up , it’s a fail , I cant get my quins to work with DE either, mine were an inch out of assault due to a poor run roll the other day, they would have opened a can of woopass in my opponents lines but lost all but one man to a dreads shooting …. I’ll give em a couple more games for things to ‘click’ but it’s not looking good, the Tantalus is just not fun as you gimp your list to fit it in then it does nothing but die , damn you FW !!
Talking of pretty things with largely fail rules one of my buddies picked up the shadow Spectre Plord from WH world for me the other day , I’ll prob paint him as a break from DE/Black at some point in the next month or two.
There was going to be a vid bat rep but we both essentially failed alot and both of the cameras were playing up, I have looked at the footage we have and think it’s best to try again really.
Bruce Willis was dead at the end of sixth sense!!!! Way to ruin a film for me buddy. 😛
I personally love RPG books just for the artwork and background. Always good reads.
Is it a deep book or just the usual mass killings that seem to mark most of the BL novels?
I am tempted to buy it but not if its a marine book in a DE book’s clothes (PoR that is).
Also not sure what to say, FW rules are always total rubbish. I think they playtest them and if they are in any way useful they get nerfed.
Not that GWS does much better with stuff like the nightspinner x.X
I liked it , its not perhaps as deep as it could be but a propper book about the dark city would be unpublishable…
Its not bolter porn if thats what you mean, I think ultimately its a fair intro and a bit different from BL’s usual fare.
I can’t say I liked Gav Thorpes Aspect warrior etc book all that much anyway, these are a step up and Andy C as far as I remember has a soft spot for the the dark Kin, I would have been waaay happier if he had written the Dex.
Yeah, totally agree their eldar stuff for the most part is spectacularly fail, the phantom titan they were going to release was almost unusable.
Fotunately the strong backlash got us something that was pretty damn good, especially for FW doing Xenos.
I’ll be at the FW open day this year fishing for DE stuff …. I’m hoping they have made some moves on the super heavy barge thing I talked to Will Hayes about last year 😛
That cover art is gorgeous.
And Bruce Willis died at the *beginning* of The Sixth Sense.
My dear sir you won a pop culture referrence fail
So, what you’re saying is that you opened the window, and a breeze rolled in, which caused you to Jay-Z in your pants, right?
Actually twas the cover art …
You get a pop culture ‘win’
Actually, I wasn’t surprised when I read about Tantafail, because whatever you take in your list, DE vehicles are complete paper crap, av 12 or not, especially in this case, when you have a huuuge unhideable ship on the table. If you are against IG – pray you can fly about 50% distance to them, or it will result in massive crashsite in the middle of the table. Any ideas how to fight Guard vets-psykers-artillery list. MEQ armies are not even a half as dangerous as ‘petty’ mon-keigh on funny pants and helmets -_-
There are many problems with it, to take advantage of the transport capacity you have to invest even more points in what is really a very fragile package, it’s not particularly good at anything either, I just cant figure it out , I think it is simply just a total failure, other than looking pretty and being an army centerpiece It’s utter wank.
I do have ideas but its something I am loathe to write here as it will be a wall of text, happy to discuss on chat or something ?
Shame you can’t use it as a Dais, its pretty rubbish too though!
The combat reporters I met in Nam were fearless… looking for action [COMBAT] to uncover a story or report on a major engagement. They would beg chopper pilots to take them to a firefight.Good for you, Steve. Congratulations.Where were you in Nam? What stories did you write? Got a link for us?
Findig means to get this crappy codex working – I like the idea.
Email me on roggi_roggi@live.ru if you interested in my lists and I would appreciate if you have some thoughts how to improve them. I haven’t registered at any chats or blogs or forums yet, sorry. I’ll be happy to help if I can. Bad thing is that love for DE is slowly dying in me because no matter how I tried to get them working, it was all in vain especially against IG.
I have a project elsewhere that is revising the codex, I’ll send you a copy of the B3ta rules to test out.
Feel free to email your lists over, Ill take a look to kill some time at work, I doubt there will be much wrong whith your lists though…
IG is beatable in fact because you can actually suppress and outmaneuver them you can beat them.
I find certain GK builds much worse(as in as offensive as farting in a packed lift)
Necrons make me rip my hair out, they are so survivable that they can pretty much take anything DE can throw at them and laugh it off, I must have killed the guy who I played on mondays army four times over, he beat me in a KP game , I think IF you added the amount of times I had to kill stuff to get it to stay down into the equation I would have been on twice as many KPs….. eurgh!!!
DE do not do attrition and Necrons pretty much force it on you.
I want this…a lot…glad its not another bolterwankmag, as I have enough of that kind of pron that Im pretty much desensitized by now 🙂
Well becoming desensitized forces you to seek out ever more extreme and bizarre things to get your kicks ….
What would a DE book in that vein be ? Splinterporn ?
That conjures up all the wrong imagery.
