My issue is that 40k has always been a game of lots of dice rolls. So that 10 shots or 20 shots or 40 attacks or what have you, when rolling each three times (to hit, to wound, to save) makes for a...

I think the random charge length may be part of the soul suck to 6th. That and the random snap fire.
It's the randomness that hurts. It usually is just fine, put when you fail that important charge...

Its funny that you posted this. My buddies and I are all kind of in the same boat. I've been painting and modelling more since 6th edition, but when it comes time to play a game, we usually break out...

Basic building of the table is easier than you would think. We've built our from 4x8 wood panel, cut down to 4x6. we then use 1x1 backing around the outsides, attached with wood glue and brad nails....

I've been trying to convince some of my friends to buy into Dust. Are you going to be running demos during open gaming?

I've got to give you kudos.

I've lost a bit of time at the office the past few days.

Recently picked up the rulebook and 300 point forces, and have been forcing a few friends to buy in (gentle pursuasion).
Was wondering if anyone else up in the area was playing yet.
If so, let us...

The list is fine, but if you want to tool it up drop the termies + LR
take some more fangs, they are too good to leave at home
you could also + some grey hunters. they are the best point for point...

I've built several tables several ways, and my favorite for weight/cost is just a hair more work:

Wood panel veneer (8x4, cut downt to 6x4)
4x 2"x2" x 8' wood (cut down to 2x 6' and 4 x 3'8")
...

I run a similar fun ultramarine list from time to time.
I run the scouts for scoring, usually three units of 10
I take two units of ten termies (one shooty, one assault)
I take 1-4 drop pod...

I would recomend dropping your burna boys and doing the following:
1.) split your lootas into 3 smaller smaller squads
2.) put out more kanz

Here is the reasoning:
1.) 6-7 lootas seem to be the...

I love my MotF. It allows me to drop 6 pods full of dreads for the assault of the ancients...
That being said, if you are just starting out, I'd recomend the libby or a chaplain for your marines....

I've always liked the wolf foot list.

I agree you are probably a little light on scoring. I'd free up the points by dropping the wolf lord and one or both units of wolf cav.

You could easily...

Feel free to use the list. Glad people think its fun.

We have been playing 500 point games recently bringing in some new blood, and its been more fun than I remember. I enjoy the bigger beat fest...

I'd say thats a pretty lean and efficient spikey marine list.

I have one question, what does kharn do for you in this build? you aren't really going for assault. If your squads get assaulted, I...

Still playing 500 point games with some new people, and wanted to get the thoughts of you all.

Is this fun and funny, or just mean?

Your going to be better of 3x1 than 1x3 on the speeder. Dropping to 4 missile fro the 4th speeder is going to be better.

I would worry about only having three troops. I good shooting army can kill...

Overall some great looking minis.

1 possible critique: the flesh on some of your characters looks a little human. I like the more cold dead looking flesh on your warriors/wyches. You might give...

You can just say that the dev sgt bit it, and one of the vets stepped in from a vanguard squad to lead the freshly minted devistators.

Awesome Warriors of Ultramar good sir!

Being that you are new to the game, and trying to figure all this out. I think you are probably having your head spinning moment right about now. 2k points against the big boys is tough.
Your first...

Its not a bad list, but I will offer a couple of observations:
First, your only bringing 3 troops choices in 2k. That will put you at a pretty distinct disadvantage.
Second, the MM,HF speeders are...

I worry that you only have 3 scoring units, and that those scoring units consist of only 5 squishy elves, which will likely by reduced to 3 or 4 if their ride explodes. Do you need three Haemonculi?...

The tyranids will consume all...except the necrons. They aren't very tasty.

I understand why you put typhus in there, but he jost costs way too much for what he brings to the table. Go with just the single HQ.

The terminators are okay as they are, but you could trim the...

I'm a huge fan of badger brushes, but it sounds like that may be out of your price range.
I started with a kit from harbor freight tools. It was a compressor and gun for $100. The compressor was,...
