I got a look at the new marine codex this saturday.
It looks rather good. There's a special table so you can give your own new chapter some special rules and units, all you do is select some advantages and then select the same amount of disadvantages from the tables.

I remember a rule called "Take the fight to them" which is quite good, you can have a squad armed with bolt pistols and close combat weapons rather than bolters as troops (instead of fast attack thanks to the remove jetpack thing).
And there's one that lets you swap your heavy weapon for another assault weapon.
The others escape me but I liked what I saw.

At this late stage of my army, it surprises me that I've only just bought some proper death company. I've had the usual bloodclaws with no space wolfy bits squad. while this is ok I suggest getting the metal ones, they look a thousand times better and it's worth the extra bread for the most iconic squad in the army.

Hey guys, I came upon this awesome gem!

How true it is; 'Unsupervised store kid, NOOOOOOOO'

Xan_Mk2 and the_waxer; Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay here!

omg i so want this armor...

Yeah ditto, you can hire professional costume makers to make them from cast resin and foam rubber, weighs more than quite a bit though but it's nothing compared to what it'll weigh on your wallet! Cool suits but unless you've struck oil, gold or diamonds, a bit out of our reach....
pity, I like that suit!

Is there anyone here who can draw and animate 40k weapons? I've managed to do bolters and a laspistol but I failed miserably to do a shotgun, especially the reloading animation :'( If anyone's interested and willing, please contact me!
Thanks
- Nick

if anyonesgood at flash and interested in joining a wh40k collab, yim me on acid_cocacola (im signed on alot).

Well, I have been really busy with school, it's not all fun and games there unlike popular beliefs. That and I've got my hands on a copy of the Dawn of War novel, so I'm busy with that as well. Oh, and I'm busy with my younger brother playing the Battle fer Macragge seeing as I have a score to settle (Losing all six misisons is a bloody disgrace!) but this time it's the Imperial Guard, not the smegging Ultra Marines that go into the breach for a fight with the bugs.

So, along with picking up the DoW novel, I've peeked at the new Whirlwind kit. The store attendants also mumbled something about new Rhino space armour that wasn't made by Forge World. So, things are really looking up for Marine players around the globe. Well, safe for the players of the 'special' chapters (Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves, you peeps need to wait until the new respective codex comes out).

Acid Coke / Putrification, I'll try to be around sometime soonish so we can pick up the discussion where we left it and for all the other people into this day: Happy Halloween!

Just thought I'd post before I go to bed.

I was in games workshop today with my lovingly converted (if poorly painted) terminators and a store kid came up to me and kept prattling on about an imperial gaurdsman having a "ded big ball-and-chain thingy, that can crush a terminators armour and wipe out a whole squad of 'em. In one turn too!"

I reckon he's a bit confused with those goblin fanatics (you know what store kids are like) or a special character that I've not heard about.

Speaking of conversions...
I've got another new commander!
This ones converted from Dante (I know a lot of blood angels have a Dante model for there leader but whatever) Swapped the axe for a sword inferno pistol for a bolt pistol, red armour instead of gold, robo-cop-esque face and some extra purity seals.
I may need to swap the iron halo for one of those new force sheilds to reduce the points cost. Difficult decision though.
Just need a name now!

Good night everybody, see you in the morrow etc.

since most people in this thread are English, (or netherlandish i brookmans case), i dont think you neddto say that its 2 am.
When you say store kid, do you mean a gw staff, or just a little child that thinks hes playing mouse trap?

WTF?! I don't belive this, I've been newgrounds user since 2001 member since 2003 and I only just found there is 40K club here!! Anyway, can I join? I've been playing 40K, Fantasy and at one stage LOTR for the last 8 years just recently I started playing 40K again after a 1 1/2 year break from it, also I am good at painting not really really good, but almost at the same standard of the more experienced GW staff. Despite this I'm only average-ish at playing though, not as bad as my Tomb Kings fantasy army which won quite a few painting contests but had a total record of 162 losses and onlt 42 wins over 5 months. Then I gave up on it to play 40K again not suprisingly.. Also is this club just 40k?

For some odd reason, I feel like buying a basilisk. It's such a manly gun! (Note: I am not gay)

Mostly 40k. We have had a run in with a fantasy guy who thought that he was better then us, but it's mostly 40k around here. Anyways, welcome aboard the www.newgrounds.com/40kcrew! Enjoy your stay and share in the fun!

Most likely because of the manly Str. and Ap! Not as powerful as the Demolisher cannon, but a real anti-astartes weapon.

It's even better when upgraded with Medusa shells! I wouldn't even wager my two landraiders against that!

Thats a though.. What's your favorite anti-marine weapon/unit in the your army? I definatly favor Dark Reapers as idea marine hunters because they just rip through squads of marines that lack long range support.

But the Medusa is a whole different vehicle based on the Basilisk, not munitions. The Medusa lobs a powerful short ranged siege shell against targets.

By store kid I mean those over opinionated thirteen year olds who like to ask what you collect and then simply say "Aww They're shit" without even seeing the rules (or the models themselves)and insist upon asking moronic questions when your battling someone in store.

As for the basilisk I would have to say eek. It's a very scary gun! With that ridiculous range too. My chaos friend (If there can be such a thing) had a converted basilisk which caused a few problems for my death company, they drew the fire away magnificently though!

Whole different vehicle? weird, in my old Forge World catalogue it lists it as an upgrade, mind you I did get the catalogue at Golden Demon 2000, quite a while has passed and it was probably listed wrong, oh well, my mistake. I still wouldn't put my land raiders against it though!

Either suicide squads (special weapon squads) with a demolition charge or the good old Demolisher, nothing says 'I hate you' more then a big pie plate of death landing on those terminators.

Store kids, gotta hate 'em, especially the ones that snap of orders and advices to you during the battle. "You should do an all out assault." and "Oh, you should've gone about stealthy like Snake! You are stupid!' Oh I hate them, but they scare pretty easily, just let out a gutteral growl or tell them that you are a 'Sir.' (Or Miss/madam/Doctor, whatever floats your boat, just show them who's in charge)

2000? Thats is really really old. The Medusa is a whole different vehicle with a shorter ranged but somewhat more powerful gun.

I always though railgun submunitions are damm nasty thats why i HATE playing Tau.. Good point, putting up with noobs giving you orders really does piss me off too, thats why i like playing them afterwards and telling them every mistake they make and then rub it in their face when you kick the shit out of their "amazing" army. I reminds me of a game of Fantasy i played during the summer where in the previous game i played this 12/13 year old noob kept whining on about what i should of done right.. Afterwards I played him, in his 5th turn after moving he when straight into his combat phase.. about half way through it I burst out laughing at him and he was like what? I then told him how he had whined about how I was making little mistakes here and there and that now he had missed 2 phases of his turn and not even reailsed it!! NOW WHO'S A F***ING NOOB!!!! it was a real shame the staff let him restart his turn and threatned to ban me for breaking store rules by shouting and swearing at another customer. Thats just why I hate rules that protect noobs..

NG has them too... but that doesnt stop me.
i dont really play the game, im more of a painter myself. At the moment i collect space wolves and necrons, which are easy to paint.
i also got a rhino yesterday and kitted it out with dreadnought lascannons and such. i also swapped the head with a womble head (gotta love those) and stuck space wolf emblems on the tank. pictures coming soon.
