Went up against my buddies Emperor's Children, and whereas I lost 68 - 76, it was an incredibly fun game.

I underestimated how far 6 Flawless Blades and Lucius disembarking from a Land Raider, alongside 10 Infractors and a Lord Exultant disembarking from a Rhino could advance and charge turn one, costing me 3× Custodian Solidarity, and a Dreadnought.

But the counter charge on my next turn saw my Callidus Annihilator Grav Tank one shot his Defiler, my second Dreadnought make it into and wipe a unit of Noise Marines, my Shield Captain and 2 Wardens get into and wipe a second unit of Infractors with second Lord Exultant.

A unit of Sisters of Silence even took out several of that first group of Infractors.

So, takeaways.

Gotta have a good system of keeping track of Readied / Katah (some has shown a few times here of a tracker they're making and oh man, they're beautiful and I can't wait). Until then I've got all 6 printed out and then just numbering them 1-6 I was putting a small 6 sided dice next to a unit after activating their Ka'tahs

I've been skeptical about punching back into larger units, but against 10 man Marines and 6 man Elites, they did wonderfully.

AP-1/-2 is still dangerous en masse, but the en masse is decently lower. I'm glad I didn't have to take as many saves with T7.

The Contemptors slap. Hard. M 9" is the movement buff they needed (plus I was running Solar Watch, so +2" move), and the 5+ FnP enhancement from Might of the Moritoi on the sword and board Dread saw him hold his ground and trash a Mauler Fiend.

I did bring a Callidius Assassin, that did next to nothing (didn't draw an secondaries that made her useful) and I'm considering dumping her for another Sisters of Silence unit and second enhancement if it stays that way for the next game or two.

All in all, really excited to keep pushing the limits of our new rules.

I recently picked up a Grey Knights Battleforce box in a trade (Dreadknight, 10 Terminator Bodies, 20 Power Armor Bodies) which I am intending on making 10 Purifiers, 10 Strikes, 5 Paladins, and 5 Terminator or of.

What's a good way to go from here? I'm very wary about the current combat patrol containing a Venerable Dreadnought (I'm unaware of it already went to legends, or that's only Adeptus Astartes, but if it hasn't, I suspect it will soon) and I haven't had much luck finding the older Combat Patrol in a trade.

Thoughts? What would you do from here? What units are least likely to let me down?

It's time to cut back on armies, and get some proper funding for the StarCraft miniatures game. So the Death Guard didn't make the cut.

Currently not intending on splitting.

I haven't gotten into the Tabletop Game yet, but I've been a pretty massive fanboy of the PC games forever, and having upwards of 3,000 Warhammer Models, making the leap into the SCTTG feels natural for me, except. . .

If I get in, there are two directions I really would want to go in, and right now the game doesn't *really* feel like it has the right model support yet.

The first would be doing a full Xel'Naga based Zeratul led army. The Stalkers and Immortal are GREAT for this concept (The Energizer too) but the Zealots and Adapts don't really fit the feel I'd want, so I feel like I should wait until Dark Templar are a thing.

Alternatively, I would love to do a Fenix led Purifier army, and the existing range supports that pretty well, but I would love to see conversion bits for the Zealots and Adapts to make them robotic Purifiers instead of fleshy Protoss. Honestly, I'm expecting that will probably be covered by third party creators making them before Archon does since they've got their hands full of more dedicated loadouts.

So, thoughts? Should I grab Zeratul, some Stalkers, Energizers and Immortals speculating that Dark Templar are *probably* going to happen in the next year, or play it safe and wait to see what wave three offers?

Edit: After lots of solid advice, Zeratul, Stalkers, Immortals, and Energizers will absolutely put me in the direction I would enjoy, and painting them in that Xel'Nagan dark gray and teal should be a lot of fun.

How far have you been able to push a minion Necromancer this season?

I'm currently at running pit 115, can't kill Belial on T12, can on T11 with some effort, and T10 is a joke where he just falls over dead.

What do you consider the most important stats for building your Necromancer?

Looking to pay $60/20 Armageddon Boyz, shipped to 97060

They were 50/50 Death Guard and Thousand Sons and they just completely steam rolled me. Mortarion used sweep on my Dreadnought and made 14 wounds out of 15 attacks, of which I failed 11. Both those kids kept spiking dice rolls over and over and I just rolled like dog water.

I need some good mojo from the community for when we rematch tomorrow.

Just wanting the codex codes for Death Guard (Priority) and Custodes (secondary)

If you're parked in two spots, but also you're in the back of an empty lot, around the side of the building, etc, it isn't bad parking. It's actually being considerate because you're intentionally making sure it isn't any one else's problem.

Between flying through Mt Deck on video, then telling Doc he should go full reigns off on video, he's gonna be in a lot of trouble here shortly.

I can't wait. (Love the guy, he does super well with prank wars)
