Shooter is the man!

I remember back in the day having a full-infiltrate space marine army.  That was entertaining.

40k was one of those games where I was always much less interested in winning or losing than just PLAYING and having a blast.

I just love the fights and epic nature of the thing

My Daemons are gathering dust, perhaps they need to be unleashed again.

If you're less fussed about watertight rules and balance (like me!) round up some people and play Apocalypse.

My recommendation is to find someone willing to play a basic campaign & build a story.  6E has a lot of emphasis on Narrative and playing it as a story arc will probably be more interesting.

This weekend I final finished up the first Vyper for the Eldar Alaitoc Task Force the wife and I are building.



The Vyper is not meant to be from Alaitoc, but to be Alaitoc aligned Corsairs - The Five Hexes.

These are the first set of 5 Rangers for it all painted up.



Eventually plan on having:
Alaitoc: Farseer, 10 Avengers (w/ Wave Serpent), 10 Banshees (w/ Wave Serpent), Crimson Hunter
Outcast: 5 Pathfinders, 10 Rangers, 2 Corsair Vypers, 1 Corsair Phoenix

Plenty of room to slowly expand from there, adding things like Corsair infantry (Dark Eldar detachment), Harlequins, other Aspect Warriors.

win.


There was always something magic about the IG for me in 40k.   Sort of the human version of Tyranids.

What's that , evil Xeno army, heretics, whatever? Giant death machines and horrors of the warp?  WE WILL THROW A MILLION MEN WITH LASERS AT YOU.  GRIND YOU TO DUST THE HAMMER OF THE EMPEROR WILL NOT BE STOPPED.  CASUALTIES ARE TO BE IGNORED. FORWARD.

Fixed that for you.

Isn't it said that the lasgun can take the arm off a man fairly easily? It's just weak against the Imperium's typical enemies?

[Kasuko]

Yeah, a lasgun will put a very nice hole through your face.

Stat-wise, though, they're one of the weakest guns and come in large quantities on the end of Guardsmen. Their incredible inability to hurt things without throwing vast quantities of dice is what earned them the 'flashlight' moniker

This in turn makes some interestingly terrifying implications about the average power of most other weapons - and about how good standard issue flak armour actually is.

[Silas Vitalia]

I dunno man, when you get rows and rows of guardsmen and issue those proper commands ("1st rank fire, 2nd rank fire!" I think it was?) and some dude throws like 60 dice at you it can be scary.

I've had plenty of tough squads full of badass models just get obliterated after a few rounds of concentrated IG fire. 

Of course if you survive and get in close you murder every single one of them up close...  I had like 2000pts of close-combat Black Templars that were specialists in this sort of thing

[Repentence Tyrathlion]

I have fond memories of my Dark Elf army which had a similar gimmick involving repeater crossbow squads.  80 shots from two relatively cheap units made a real mess.

[Kasuko]

Yeah, that's where the 'vast quantities of dice' bit comes in - get a good enough round of FRFSRF and even terminators will roll a few '1's.
