modelling update

after a disastrous attempt to convert a defiler to a nightwretch, the poor little turkey now sits in the bits box waiting for other jacks in need of spare parts.

because of that harrowing experience, i will be getting the epic deneghra fig and, ugly as she is, use it. that and the fact that the conversion im planning to make my own epic denny requires a lot of hacking and putty work.

also finished the "araykoputanginaanoyun?!?!?" deathripper turkey. i posed it like its running but after looking at it, it looks like it tripped. i was going to put a stone by it toe but decided against it. cryx are the evil dragon worshipping undead bastards of the iron kingdoms not comic relief.

next purchase will be a box of bane thralls. or the apotheosis book if its already at pitshop next week.

----------

been reading and re reading prime for a couple of days now. found out that ive boon doing a lot of things wrong.

1st thing a model does when activated is to move. then it does the combat actions. it can jump straight to its combat action but will be unable to move after (but gets +2 aiming bonus for shooting attacks) wherever i got "do anything in any order" i dont know.

a model cant fire its ranged weapons in melee.

a warcaster also fallows the above rule but can cast spells anytime during their activation.

a model in high ground can target anything even if there are intervening models.

oh well. thats the reason for playing beta games: to familiarize oneself with the rules. its nice being on the same level as everyone else.

i remember the first time i played warhammer with other club members. jam cup megamall. sheeeeeeit. conceded twice and ive hated shooty-magicky elves and shooty dwarves ever since. ive hated fantasy dwarves since the days i played dungeons and dragons back in high school but in warhammer theyre worse. i got one win but it was from a fellow newbie who was even newer than me. i was even telling him what his units did. in ENGLISH!!! dang foreigners. if youre living here, learn filipino!!!!!

hey emp, newsflash, youre typing in english
typing, speaking. 2 entirely different things.
but...
shaddap!


anyyyyyyyyyyways...

will be bringing prime back home later to reread the rules section for the nth time.

and monstrous creatures only get S+d6 AP for shooting. heheheheheheheheh.
