List Review
Beautiful work on my brother’s Skorne. They look even better in person.
Glad you like them!
BRING BACK THE RANT PORTION!!!
We save that portion for rawdogger.
We haven’t had a good rant in a while!
It was the Tyrannocyte that took the nerf bat not the Mycetic Spore Pod.
Anyone else notice that Frankie gets everything right, when he’s the only one doing the podcast?
Must be the roofies Reece puts in his pre podcast drinks 😉
Having seen this reccorded, they joke alot, so I think they are still thinking about the jokes.
It’s my intimidating presence, lol!
Good show Frankie. You have proven once again that you are consistently reliable in producing the podcast. Happy New Year to you!!!
Time to buy some rare knights!
Random question: do Tyranid spore mines or other models with the “Living Bomb” rule count for the purposes of First Blood? It would seem that as they do not award victory points when destroyed, they would not give the 1 VP for FB, but technically speaking could a player not kill the spore mines to trigger the FB condition (completely destroying the first unit of the game), and simply “deny” their opponent the objective? At the end of the game, the unit that counted for FB would be found to be one that cannot give VPs upon destruction. I cannot find a recent discussion of this, maybe because the answer is obvious, but from the wording it seems there could be an argument.
