Not yet lah. The 5th Edition of the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook is not even out yet. How to introduce a new Space Marines Codex?!

 

[Evilmerlin]

5th Ed Space Marine Codex is suppose to be out in September I believe. Pedro Cantor and Scout SGT Telion are awesome awesome models. Plus the new Techmarine with the Thunderfire cannon! OOOH!! SEXY!!

Round up of all things 5th Ed Space Marines can be found here, if you have not seen them yet.

Hi Can I know what does the below abbreviations mean generally and the rules to it?

Fly, Terror, Large Target, Daemon.

M8, WS10, S6, T6, W5, I9, A7, LD9

Never played Warhammer before but is fascinated by hard hitting chaos warriors.

 

[halocast]

can't help u there.

never play at all..

lol

 

[Evilmerlin]

Don't know the keywords but I know the stats.

M8 = movement 8"

WS10 = Weapon Skill 10. How good a warrior is in hand to hand combat. 10 is nigh on godly. You will compare the WS to the WS of the warrior you are hitting. The larger the difference, the easier to hit. At WS10, you'll hit most things on a 2 or more.

S6 = Strength 6. How hard you hit you something. Compare to Toughness.

T6 = Toughness 6. How hard it is to hurt you.

W5 = Wounds 5. How much damage you can take before dying.

I9 = Initiative 9. In close combat, this stat determines the order at which you strike. High initiative models get to strike first then it goes down from there.

A7 = Attacks 7. Number of attacks. Basically how many dice you roll when you wack something.

LD9 = Leadership 9. For the commanding of troops.

Best is if you can get a demo game. Easiest way to learn. Can check out forums at www.pi.com.sg. They have a decent bunch of players who can show you the game if you interested.

I got this cool SM Sarge from the GW US Web site. Its a limited edition mini.

Quite funky. Looks like he gonna rock and roll. Not too sure what he's trying to do with his right power fist.

Issit it considered heretical to step on an Aquila?

 

[halocast]

rock and roll? lol

 

[Evilmerlin]

I bet he's going, "Rock on Brothers!!! Rock on!!" while firing his bolter in rhythem of We Will Rock You.

 

[xinng7]

I think he's trying to do a goat's horn sign. Those that fans do in metal concerts. LOL.

Hey Granzon, maybe you can go down to PI on Sat cos thats where/when the WHFB players.

Hi, i am a WHFB player and also quite a collector as well. The PI people there are quite friendly so i don't know where the info about the bunch being uptight comes from. Anyway gamers also change as time passes...some new ones pick up the hobby, some older ones leave them...

Seeing this modelling thread, here's some of my contributions

My Blood Ravens

 

[Spindoc]

And i also collect Tau ....For the Greater Good!!!

My whole Tau army...Mechanized infantry

Vespid Sting wings

Broadside with Shield generator

Stealth suits

Sha'so

 

[halocast]

whoa.. another tau lover..

 

[halocast]

whoa.. nice blood ravens u got there

 

[seow_lang]

I imagine that the Tau would appeal more to the Asian market since they are so close to the anime styles.

Die. I have been so hooked on Mass Effect that I neglected my painting!!!

 

[xinng7]

Hi Spindoc,

Very nice Blood Ravens! So much better than those 'pro paint' armies that i often see on Ebay.

The Chapter insignia on the marines' shoulder pads are freehand?
