I know I'm a little late on this, but I didn't look so closely at the Genestealer Saboteur. Considering it is holding a wireless detonator, and plunger detonator, and a landmine at the same time, I'm very sand to hear that Twitch from The All Guardsman Party got 'nided.

It's like they don't want my money.
 
Another casual game this weekend. This time it was 1500 points - my Chaos Knights (really just their bases since I'm still building/painting) against another buddy's Space Wolves list (that for some reason didn't include Grimnar) using the Tempest cards/rules.

We both deployed aggressively and he came full force at the Abominant with melta shots and TWolf riders, but I got crazy lucky on the Abomb's invulns and FNPs and shrugged off his alpha strike. After that, it was just barbecuing and mulching doggos on the fight back and on my turn. That pretty much dictated how the rest of the fight went. He did kill a War Dog with Bjorn, but Bjorn got erased by the Desecrator right after.

Secondary draws pushed him ahead initially, but I got some really nice ones midgame that really just favored murdering everything. By the top of turn four, I had three Abhorrent-class Knights on the table facing a squad of Eradicators and another squad of Intercessors that had just hung back holding objectives while ~1200 or so points of his army was worm food.

I'm not sure if the Abominant or the Rampager was MVP - they both engaged in wholesale slaughter, while the Desecrator mostly hung back and got off a couple of big shots. I can say that building all of my Knights as tanky as possible was pretty key - they already hit hard and move reasonably quickly, so its really about making sure they're still standing after your opponent's first big swing or two.

Bold of you to assume Twitch would only have the three devices at hand...
 
The squats so far are pretty alright sculpts, digging the round shapes and smooth armor the new exo-suit has going.
 
Finally watched The Exodite. I thought I got the wrong pirated files at first since the episodes were only around 11 to 10 episodes long and they were only three. That was indeed the entire show, someone out there paid for this. The production in general was pretty good but in the back of my head I kept thinking "y'know, fans could've done this over 5 years and released it as one short split into three parts". The animation wasn't bad but the facial animation again makes it hard to sell some scenes, episode 3 gets hit with this the worst. The music is generic but sombre, it's appropriate but not very memorable. The best thing I can say about The Exodite is that instead of T'au wank you get everyone dunking on T'au, specially Eldar.

7/10 nice YouTube short but I'm not paying for this shit. It was plain good, entertaining enough for the 30 minutes it demanded of my day but I wouldn't watch it again.

The Kin, you see, are sitting on a closely guarded network of functioning STCs – a fact reflected across their entire armoury.

ion technology, which is proscribed by the Adeptus Mechanicus. That’s their loss – the T’au Empire certainly seemed to appreciate being taught how to harness it…

Super-Inquisitor Chalmers: So you are saying all the Squat Empires were consumed by a previously unreported Tyranid Incursion, at the heart of the galactic core, with no attacks on inbound systems, and then was never seen again?

I couldn't get over the, "[they] die so easily to the killing blow," line.

Admech can't catch a break. First you find a bunch of un augmented underhiver scum gets a STC that can make completely new shit, then you find a race of manlets have a whole network of them.

It reeked of typical fan animation imo. GW only brought them on due to the hype surrounding it but the Exodite felt a lot like the old Lord Inquisitor Animation. In that they make it look extremely fancy and always dangle something on the hook. Astartes perfected this idea too but thats just my opinion on how most of these fan animations felt to me before the GW shit.

I may get kinda shat on but the entire animation boom just kinda reeked of...band wagoning? Like a bunch of artists saw Warhammer fans will throw money at anything and just need to make bolter porn cartoons to keep them entertained.
