Peculiar. I never had a problem with iot, barring a few dropped games, but that's just a matter of save where you are, reconnect and reload.
Mallorea and Riva should resign

I've been experimenting with space marines on bikes lately... I'm still not sure if I'm liking it or not though. So far, only the captain I keep attaching to the squad has proven to be useful (and worth the points)... Of course this might be because they keep getting charged by fricken assault terminators and shit but still...

Oh heeeellllll naw! He is an arrogant glory hunter in McNeil's novels and Ward's fanboy description of him in the 5th edition codex just makes him look like his biggest personality trait is 'badass' which just sucks because there is no character there it's just 'he's a BAWSS because I say so'.

It ain't cool when the Ultramarines 2nd Company gets its arse handed to it on Damnos because he went for glory.

There's a short story about Cate released today.

It notes how fucked up he is after Damnos - he does feel rather guilty :P He's more the warrior-type, instead of the captain-type.

Your bikers are getting charged? You're doing something wrong.


Said terminators keep arriving on turn 2 in a fuckin stormraven... Which means I keep getting charged on turn 3 as for some reason my quad gun can never seem to kill the damn thing on the turn it arrives (Sadly my blood angels don't seem to have access to any other AA besides my own stormraven...). :( It IS quite annoying... And if the Terminators don't charge them, the damn Centurions kill them all in 1 turn of shooting with lascannons, missiles, and grav weapons instead. Perhaps I should just stick with my hoard of assault marines instead of trying out new stuff...

Got the SM dex but unsure if I will actually start SM. Torn between Salamanders, counts-as Imperial Fists, and starting CSM instead. Both have cool mechanics.

If I go Imperial Fists I probably will go for a hammer & shield vanguard,
2 devastor squads (8xflak rockets) and 3-6 centurion devastors (lasers & rockets).
Champion will be Santa Claws and both tactical squads 5 guys each, with plasma cannons.

Allies will be Imperial Guard (plasma veterans, vendettas & combat psykers)
