Best Warhammer 40,000 Army

[omegoku]

terrain has always been a problem for me, i generally play outside (like a fupping nutter) in the harsh irish weather.. so it can be hard to get anything nice looking set up..

[IBBoard]

Outside? drafty sheds I've heard of before, but never outside those strange Irish people j/k

[Librarian Rannos]

What's j/k means?

[omegoku]

joking, i assume.. i am crazy but its either that or no 40k...

[IBBoard]

Yeah, j/k is an "I'm only joking" thing
And I suppose if it is outside or nothing, then outside it has to be! Can't be having a situation with several armies and no possibility to game

[Librarian Rannos]

Well I just tried a more complex terrain....The good part is that I haven't painted my blood angels and after this experience I -wisely- decided to convert to either Ultras or my own devised chapter...BTW did you know that Marneus Augustus Calgar[Chapter Master of the Ultras,Lord Macragge] has 4 wounds?!He can also choose if he will pass or fail morale,leadership or pinning tests even if failling is automatic?AND as all commanders he has an ability which allows all SMs on the table to use his Leadership for various tests.....It's almost like cheating to use such a unit...

Marneus Augustus Calgar...can also choose if he will pass or fail morale, leadership or pinning tests even if failling is automatic?

AND as all commanders he has an ability which allows all SMs on the table to use his Leadership for various tests.....It's almost like cheating to use such a unit...

You mean all space marine units can choose to pass or fail morale, leadership etc tests? I think thats stretching the rules too far. They will be able to use his leadership value, which I assume will be 10, but I don't think they'll get his special abilities

[Librarian Rannos]

No,they use his Leadership value but his special ability conveys to squads he joins.

[IBBoard]

Still sounds quite powerful - I hope he's expensive
And wohoo! people are using avatars

[Librarian Rannos]

No,he's not that expensive-only 185 pts !!!
And wohoo! it was about time too![for people to use avatars}

[omegoku]

hes not that great.. still slow in combat, very killable and is an ultamarine..

[Librarian Rannos]

I also conclude that the bad part is that he's an Ultra...lol

[IBBoard]

Other than being the original plain, boring, every-newbie-wants-to-collect-them army, what's wrong with Ultramarines? They're your simple, no-nonsense, no mutation heretic purger

[Librarian Rannos]

Well...that's my problem!I prefer an army with strong and weak points instead of an army with no cons but also with no pros[except that they are SM!!!]

[donkey7890]

tyranids rule....thats all im gonna say....petty i cant get new codex yet
