Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
Hey gang, me and a friend of mine were looking to get into 40k and we figured that getting Forgebane would be a good start as I'm interested in Nercons and him the Mechanicus. It was just discontinued on their website, but we can pick it up elsewhere. Is this a good idea?

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
The Mechanicus side of Forgebane is good. The Necron side is god awful. You're far, far, better off with the Necron "Start Collecting" box set.
Necrons are in a rather sad place at the moment. Their Reanimation is dependent on your opponent not being able to fully kill your units, so as points values go up they get worse. (Since the amount of firepower that the enemy can concentrate increases far beyond the survivability of each unit). They function best at around 1000~1500pts, and by 2000 have dropped a huge way. Also they lack firepower generally, Destroyers being one of their only high damage-output units.
That said, you can make almost anything work casually. You'll just find you'll be putting in alot more effort to make it work than many other people.

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
The necron side of forgebane is at least very characterful and interesting compared to the mechanicus side. If you're prepared to shell out a bit more, I think Forgebane and a Start Collecting box each would be a pretty good beginning.

Catachan Brigade
Cadian Brigade
Cadian Brigade #2

Real casual, guys. Finally there's me...

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
Pretty much this.
The Catachan Brigade player specifically says his list is casual because 'It doesn't have a Knight Castellan'.
The Thousand Sons and Death Guard are apparently automatically casual because they don't include Ahriman or Typhus - ignoring the fact that named Characters are banned...I know for a fact that they'd be including Ahriman and Typhus if they were allowed. But, since named Characters are banned, they can use that excuse.
It's almost exactly what I was talking about towards the end of the last Thread;
If you don't runa net-listthe best units you possibly can, is your Codex bad? ...Not necessarily. Particularly if your Faction's schtick is good to begin with.
An Exalted Sorcerer on Disc of Tzeentch isn't a Daemon Prince. But it still casts Smite at full-strength with no negs.
A Sorcerer in Terminator Armour isn't a Daemon Prince. But it still casts Smite at full-strength with no negs.
Poxwalkers without Typhus are only S/T 3. But they're still 6 Points each, have Ignore Wounds (5+), and don't take Morale.
Cold and Bitter with 60 Cultists, isn't Abaddon with 80 Cultists. So it's fine, right?
Lampshading a thing...And then doing the thing anyway...Is still doing the thing.

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
So, a question. The miniatures thread has been dead for a while now, so I'm putting this here.
Would any of you lot be interested in following my progress painting Thousand Sons? I've got a tiny handful of things actually painted, and just finished priming a pile of stuff. I'm going to be doing a ton of painting over the next little while, and have been considering starting up a painting and hobby blog.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

I love seeing army blogs and things of that nature! I find a lot of that kind of thing is on Instagram these days.

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
Yeah, it seems like it would have been better to have it modify to-hit rolls.
Also, interesting question: is there a reason we haven't seen any rr6 abilities yet? We have rr1 buffs and +1 buffs, and -1 debuffs, but no rr6 debuffs!

Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVI: If it Ain't Broke, Nerf It
Re-rolling sixes has a few unintended consequences - like bonuses making the nerf better, and shutting down abilities that trigger on a six.
