Barnes on Games Special Edition- WH40k Battle for Vedros Part 2- 40k "Lite"?

Read more...

Actually the bit that only power claw and rocket can hurt the dreadnought is pretty much accurate within the original rules. Unless you have grenades or whatnot, the dreadnought is impervious to small arms attack. Or shoot it in the back. I suppose there's no facing rule?

I'm curious on whether they'll expand the rules or not. Interested on how they're going to make the rules with the multitudes of wargears.

Funny that you mentioned that...the first thing River asked me is if you can shoot the Dreadnaught in the back since it has all of that exposed, unarmored machinery. But there is no facing. And no grenades.

The Runtherder can take a weapon that can damage it, that Grot-prod or whatever it's called. You can mount a melta on the attack bike too.

The approach to the units is to give them one or two special abilities, which may be tied to wargear. The Captain's Mastercraft bolted gets a reroll, for example.

Also, for the record, the Wartrakk is just about the worst GW model I have ever seen. I was laughing at it the whole time I put it together. The Orks are too small, out of scale, and the whole thing has already been dubbed - by my 4 year old daughter mind you- the Three Wheeled Jokemobile. She got that from Zootopia, when she called it that I just about died.

The sprue is from 1997, so they are definitely getting some mileage from that mold.

Well, even if those boyz could shoot it in the back, that's like 5+ to hit and then 6+ to penetrate/wound. I see the rules are directly referencing other units (ie. can only be wounded by xxx).

The finest 40k orks ever casted.

IIRC, they were first released with GorkaMorka.

Barnes, for articles about minis games...I wanna see how yall are getting on. Share a pic or two of your models and terrain in play. Dont worry about them looking as nice as the stock gw photos, those photos can be seen anywhere. Plus, stock gw photos don't inspire. I'd rather see kid painted minis battling around coke cans and heroscape trees than the highly polished photos put out by gw marketing.

Sunnovabitch, Mr. White, I had no idea those bloody things were still being produced. I always wanted a set of those but just assumed they were long-since consigned to the Dustbin of History [aka "Ebay"].

Now I gotta get me a set for, well, everything that uses greenskins of any sort.

Edit: And, in looking at them more closely, for all of GW's efforts at IP protection, i wonder if they got permission from Motorhead to turn them into Greenskins...cuz, that has just gotta be Lemmy....
