Ahh ... that's nice. OK, since you asked so nicely, you can be my new best mate.

Well I am going across the pond later this year Beware if you must travel through the convoluted metropolis of London Sir !!! For it is a city so illogically complex it must have been constructed by the hand of the Chaos lords themselves. Solitary souls wander alone through the confused tunnels of our underground trains for aeons, Only to die in a shadowy corner alone ... bar the demonic wail of some random busker and his rubbish guitar, Who is busy ripping the last remnants of the spirit from some old Beatles song. Summon my services if you need to Sir, for I will be your trusted giude through this blurred muddle that appears to work with no system.

He's not joking, that totally happened to me one time.

You can summon me in London too. And obviously I'll have to coordinate some kind of TCR invasion with Redcuffs at some point when things aren't so hectic. Was asked yesterday if I was ready to buy the new edition by GW staff, so I replied 'no' and bought the DE codex - last one for both Craftworld and DE And I got a Taurox for obvious reasons.

Yep Chem, we'll have to hook up as we're so close. I've always wanted a game in Dark Sphere too.

Just read through the leaked core rules and one thing really jumped out at me. Assault weapons can be fired after advancing (running) at -1 to hit. Sounds pretty good for meltas and stuff. Then I remembered that flamers don't roll to hit... Say hello to Mr. Yellow.

Oh God, non-base five point costs. That's going to bother the hell out of me.

Hopefully it won't be too bad for Guard, we have usually had nice round numbers compared to other armies that can choose their unit sizes. The bit I am dreading is the "I have a 1502 point list for this 1500 game. It's only 2 points so it's fine right?" No! I spent ages getting my list under point! You use that bolt pistol over my dead body!

You've been away a while. I'm out of the Guard except for a pair of kill teams. I've got Space Marines and a dash of xeno heresy now.
I quite like the detachments. It seems extremely flexible. The auxiliary detachment being -1 command point is a nice touch too. Sure, you can nail on this and that, but you're going to have to pay for it...

My intel is pretty old I suppose...
I really hope the point appendix is an abridged version for the started set. Building an entire army from that sort of layout seems like it would be really annoying. I guess they don't really care because there will be army builders but I always preferred pen and paper.

London is indeed my destination and now you have made me nervous She's a peach of a city. One thing to do is learn how to read the Underground map. It is super easy and takes about 20 minutes to familiarise yourself.

You can charge after using rapid fire weapons. That makes a blob quite a decent wave assault unit.

I also went through a marine phase but then went full circle back to guard, also collecting Adeptus Mechanicus and Genestealer Cult, so I've got too much to do.
If you're staying close to the centre of town it should be fun.
Edit - Primaris captain has SIX wounds! It's a daemon prince....

Teaser for the dread. youtu.be/jGyR5n_3kIgI like it quite a bit (especially since most normal dreads seem a bit small and sad to me), but, again, I think it's a move away from the classic boxy-Gothic and toward a more sci-fi look.

The size is probably better but I really prefer the boxy-Gothic look over the sci-fi look. It looks a bit like some Tau heresy to me.

Cheers for that Reds. I promised myself that I'd only buy rules from now on. No models, just play with the thousands that I already own. Then you put that link up. I DIDN'T EVEN WANT ANY DREADNOUGHTS UNTIL I SAW THAT !!! I DON'T EVEN WANT A SPACE MARINE ARMY ... until now that is. Damn ... if I can't keep a promise to myself then WT actual F. It going to be hard to keep.
