Hey all I'm SaN. Was a member of this board years ago, before moving away from the hobby. Got back in about a year and a half ago with Raven Guard marines in a big way. With the new edition, new codex and whole new bag of reasons to get excited I've jumped back into the Guard and plan on turning my old home brew army into the wrecking ball it always wanted to be.
Hope we're as full of lively discussion, hilarious comments and the great sense of community that I remember.
Cheers,
SaN

Things have quieted down a bit, but some of the old guard like yourself seem to be drifting back and livening the place up again. You missed the old Today thread getting so big it broke the forum a bit, even after RT accidentally deleted a chunk of it. We've got a new one now. How are you finding RGs? I've been pretty underwhelmed by marines in 8th, but I like tactical squads so I was probably doomed to be disappointed from the start. |

@rr Glad to see you still floating around RR! And a bit chuffed to be remembered by such an exalted officer. Haha I can imagine that being good fun you all. I'll make sure I swing in and check out the new one. Haven't tried my marines in 8th, but I managed to write what I'd consider to be pretty flithy. Shryke, officers, dreadnaught, 20 vangaurd vets (5with dual plasma pistols PEWPEWPEW) and some others deepatriking turn one in your face, re rolling charges, re rolling all hits, ones to wound or all wounds with 10 VV using lightning claws. Delicous @er Good to see you too mate haha. Yeah definetly still a noob. Although I went on a 22 game winning streak, still unbeaten with a single 1000 point RG skyhammer formation in 7th.  |

Thank you sir!
Yeah I want to return to two projects. A full armoured company with a Commisar tank conversion and a superheavy. And a fuedal world gaurd infantry, mortar and basalosk army, feat some priest and crusader support. Need to get my hands on a heap of bitz.

An armoured company, you are speaking my language now. What sort of composition were you thinking of? I'm still playing around with all of my russ builds with the new codex.
Edit: Just saw you posted a list about it. Will have a look!

Hey Trickstick, glad to see yah still kicking as well. Ah the ornery old treadheads sit high in their cupolas, a new straightness to their backs, a firmer set to their shoulders. All eyes point forward, to the horizon and the dawn of a new day. The day they've all been waiting for. Cost efficient, obsec tanks :') its a beautiful sight.

Eh, I've been tending towards brigades over obsec. Objectives are easy to claim when they are being contested by a smooth red paste! Those +9 command points are so useful, although 60 infantry is a bit more than I used to take. I'm hoping for an update to the FW book. I want my co-axial stubber! |

Yeah I've got a 2000pt combined arms list which I'd say is definetly the more competitive list. But It's so static and just lacks any sort of dynamic energy.

On the plus side, I now have a legal (and very cheesey) Guard army!! For the first time in 5 years too. What did you end up splashing out on in the end? |

Hahah don't we always?
I actually got a box of greatswords for my concerted gaurd army and a couple of books. They're re selling the Cain, Eisenhorn and other novels. Couldn't walk past them. No regrets
