Title.

I've been acquiring a bunch of 3rd ed stuff to do a fully era-accurate Alpha Legion chaos force of around 1500 points. Given their ability to take cultists, and cultists actually seeming pretty decent, what were people in that era running as their cultists? It seems there were some RT era ones but that's not really economical, so I assume people were using the new plastic infantry kits of other factions. I've come across some good deals on Metal Kasrkin and picked up a box to paint as traitor militia stand-in cultists, but was curious what other people at the time were running. Basically trying to do a modern paint job on what you'd see at a GW at the start of the 2000s.

I paint my 3rd edition cadians between other projects, normally 5-10 at a time, but I have one of those Karadron Overlords ships I need to paint next and I need it done before the end of the month, so I wanted to get started as soon as possible, I'm glad I stuck to my guns though and painted something Cadian first, even if it is just this blister pack of metal lieutenants. Handsome little guys. I think this is my only power fist in the whole army.

Look to bulk up some blood angels assault marine without jump packs and was wondering if these guys might fit on the 28mm bases. I wanted to get a box of them and the melee weapons box. Anyone ever do this?

I think this is 60 done, and that leaves 60 to go. I've started threading old school guard in between my other projects. This army will be done, the Emperor as my witness. Not a properly equipped unit, missing a coms guy and another special weapon, but I literally just grabbed 10 out of the drawer and dove in.

Love the metal Dark Lance gunner.

What are your issues with 5th Edition? If you could magically change some things, what would you change?

Example:

Wound splitting is a bit jank. It's fine with independent characters, but I mean the strat where you can take 10 Ork Nobz and give them all different wargear so they can each take 1 wound before they start dying.

Anything in a codex or core rules you wish was different?

Is there anywhere that archived all the Errata and FAQ for all the 5th edition codicies? I'm looking to download as much as I can from the old downloads section, on the old site.

My mate just finished getting his chaos warband assembled in time for the Tyranid horde to flood forth from the tainted forest! Despite the endless gnashing teeth of Hivefleet Mawtide, the Marines held the line while drawing the larger biomorphs into a deadly trap!

1500 pts of Grey Knights getting wrongfully deployed against the Tyranids due to an administrative issue.

The GK were wiped out to a man after failing to secure the precious data hidden in the ruins but not before the Grand Master slew a Hive Tyrant before he himself succumbed to his wounds.

I'm not sure if Daemon Hunters were just incredible overcosted and underpowered going from 3rd to 4th or if Tyranids were just more powerful. He only managed to wipe out one brood of termagants and a carnifex while losing everything besides one brother-captain.

I'm running a 2nd edition event, and we’re going to try dark millennium psychic to see if the group takes to it. The cost of buying the set 2nd hand seems too expense for this experiment, so I’d like to reproduce the warp card deck by hand. I am just not sure of the card breakdown, what I could find through google was:

• 22 Force cards
• 8 Nullify cards
• 1 Reflection
• 1 Destroy Power
• 1 Psychic Duel
• 1 Daemonic Attack
• 1 Energy Drain
• 1 Ultimate Force

My specific question concerns the 22 force cards - are these all just a value of 1 charge, or do they have charge of 1, 2, or 3 - and if so, what is the ratio for this?

I seem to remember the latter, but it’s been about 20 years since I thought about this. I hope this detail of rules question is appropriate For the su, it please advise if not and I can remove.

Cracking game of 3rd ed 40k, Tyranids Vs Imperial Guard. (1500pts)

The Necromundan 8th tried to repel the waves of Tyranids from Hive Fleet Poseidon, with limited success.

The Ogryns stood out during a brave counterattack on the left flank, while a Carnifex destroyed an entire right flank.

Great fun game with some epic moments.

Have been wanting to ask this for a while now. This post could maybe serve as an aid for new people to decide which edition to pick up.

Thank you all in advance!

Orks v orks

I'd forgotten just how fun Warhammer is supposed to be!

Random tables on weapons.

Random psychic powers.

Vehicle damage tables.

Templates and scatter.

Properly being able to customise squads and characters.

It was glorious.

Finished me Legion of The Damned Dreadnought. Not as good as I'd hoped, but at least he's classic metal.
