List Review
Hey, I think the twitch title is incorrect.
Good catch, thanks for watching the live show
so funny…that jack hammer… crying…
That was so annoying, lol
Just saying; Obsec terminators are nasty good. Played Relic yesterday with them and sat a unit of 10 on the relic and my opponent just couldnt do anything. The rest of the army crumbled, but the termis were hilariously good!
Nice, great to hear about Termies doing work!
Can I ask I a quick General ITC list building question? What exactly are the rules on detachment building? Like can a take a detachment from the blood angels angels blade thing, alongside a gladius strike force? Do I need to pay a CAD tax to do so? Happy to just be steered towards the rules bit that says this!
Hey, yeah, building an army in this edition is no simple task. This will lead you in the right direction: https://frontlinegaming.org/community/frontline-gamings-independent-tournament-circuit/itc-2015-season-40k-tournament-format/
I absolutely love how happy Reece is while saying “wow now you can even use this in a casual game and maybe it won’t suck!” without a hint of irony.
And I can not say enough how great I think it is that he also says he palys his Nightlords as Raven Guard because that sort of thing is absolutely what Chaos players should be doing and saying it out loud here might make some more players who’d feel like they can’t do it or just didn’t think of it is a valid option. And actualy build those CSM legions the way they want them and have them work. That is just good for the hobby.
Thanks, and yeah, CSM players that want to actually use Chaos Space Marines that aren’t Sorcerers in the Cabal should just go counts as with a Chapter that matches what they’re trying to do.
Exactly. Hell they can even summon demons better.
I’ve seen people tell others they can’t play like that in some FB groups etc. and I think its just great that basicaly the head of the ITC says its fine and even does it. It shouldn’t be like that but you know that some people need that sort of precedent to accept it as “legal”.
…Also it makes me feel positive about playing all those Raging Heroes Sisters of Battle and their Terminators etc as Blood Angels without too much trouble. … Yay self-interest.
I’m working on re-orging my Alpha Legion as a Talon Strike Force and Iron Warriors as a Sternhammer Strike Force. So many more possibilities that don’t suck.
