Completed Commissions
- Here are a few beautiful commissions recently completed by the FLG Paint Studio!
sooooooooooo excited for my nid codex
seriously thinking about getting the digital download while I wait for the hard copy to arrive…
Army looks good, and not too cheesy or overpowered, but still with some decent shennanigans
I keep picturing a termagaunt sitting at a computer seeing codex release and going ? “SCREEEE!” when seeing the announcement from GW. Really seems like they are competitive the same year I decided to finally buy some.
Not sure if some changes were made, but I am unable to get any audio from your recorded Signals on Twitch.
Other Twitch stations work fine. Other videos on your station work fine. But the Signals videos audio are all silent now.
The Twitch video has no audio?
I just checked, it has audio for me.
It’s a Twitch bug. Some channels’ VODs have no audio with headphones. Yours is one of them.
Weird. I don’t listen with headphones at home and none of the Signals videos had audio. First time that’s happened.
But the painting videos all played fine.
I’m at work now and everything plays normally. And i’m on headphones this time.
No clue
Must be a Twitch issue.
I have a question. What is ITC’s policy regarding index dataslates that are not in the codex? Or index wargear that is not in the codex? Is it allowed? If it is allowed, how do I calculate the points cost? Do I use the cost from the index or the codex? GW seems to indicate you can use them and that you should always use the codex point costs when available.
Yes, similar to other units from index not included in the codex you should be using the updated points costs from what I understand. Also keep an eye out for ineex faqs with updates as they sometimes adjust points on there as well.
You MUST ALWAYS use the most recent datasheet.
True, but some models most recent datasheet is in the index not the codex. It also seems to have an exception in regards to wargear not printed on the most current datasheet but that exists in the index. For example, twin autocannon dreds (not FW) are they allowed? Command Squad on bike? Frickin Khan on a bike? Autarch with a warp generator? Autarch with a reaper launcher?
FYI the Steel City Showdown is a GT! Currently have 46 paid/confirmed likely to have over 50 day of, but we still have room if anyone is in the Pittsburgh/Western Pa region!
Nice! I will update the calendar!
Gr8 changes but just gets a feeling the dex still lacks ”it”. Will be easier when you can sit and read it but initially I dont think this codex will make us see some Nidz armies im the top of the big tournaments :/
I have a feeling that the hyperaggressive nid players with anti psyker support will counter the meta very well.
I think there are a dozen different ways to play them competitively. Nids have tremendous depth.
29:55 – Psychic Scream doesn’t do another 3 mortal wounds if you kill a model, you’re confusing it with something else, or perhaps the rule was changed after playtesting.
You are correct, sir.
Hello people
The audio level on the podcast version of the show is quite low for me compared to other podcasts on my device, am I the only one with the issue ?
