I've seen plenty of fandexes for 3rd and 4th in the wild, but has anyone actually tried to recreate the lost Alien Hunters codex? Never seen one.

Does anyone have recommendations for 3rd party sculpts that could work as servitors?

I've been chipping away at the 3d ed eldar project trying to recreate the studio armies. This is most of my Aliatoc now done. Might do some warwalkers and more guardians to flesh it out but for now moving on to the Ulthwe

Also, the very talented Ketil Trout has sculpted this Fimir... magic thing to be released by Ramshackle Games. I feel like someone's got their eyes on me.

Still working on that templars list, are land raiders really that bad in 4th? They are quite expensive, but also damn they're really cool. Same goes for dreadnoughts. Right now the two lists I'm looking at are basically either rhino+crusader spam with 2 vindicators and a predator or a list with the land raider and dreadnought but less infantry. Also took the advice from last time and got rid of my leader upgrades, they were taking up so many points.

Does anyone remember which White Dwarfs have battle reports with Tyranids? From the 3rd and 4th editions.

Is three vindicators perhaps overkill in 4th?

Got a 3rd ed Combat Patrol day this weekend at the local joint. Taking the ol' Iron Snakes along and need to paint and build a couple things for it all. Last night I magnetised and started getting my jump pack commander painted, his assault squad also getting a bit of work. I should have them all done this afternoon. After that I need to knock out a razorback, which should be too hard, just tedious. I have some a papercraft kit that nicepy turns into templates for plasticard construction, if I don't dawdle too much I might even have it built AND base coated tonight for details tomorrow!

Managed to rope a new player to our 2nd ed group and we played again the Battle for the Armageddon tutorial scenario one. Such a fun game and he'll be back again for sure.

Man I'd love one of the 54mm Fighting Fantasy miniatures, GW's actual first ever plastics.Unfortunately they've gone from a £10-20 curiosity on eBay to £60+ each for some reason. Would be nice to have one as a 28mm giant.

I remember seeing an Exorcist converted from the old Whirlwind kit before GW release the actual Exorcist kit, anyone know what I'm talking about? It might've been in Citadel Journal, Troll or a foreign White Dwarf.

At what point does White Dwarf stop being useful or fun to collect? I have up to issue 299 and don't know if it's worth bothering going forward.

Hey anons. I'm pretty sure this is the right place to ask. I recently bought myself a copy of Rogue Trader, I'm having a blast reading through it and all its myriad descriptors and lore portions, but I'm having a hard time finding people to even start having a conversation about playing the game with, so I'm just going to go solo for now. But is there a generally agreed upon best way of building lists? I've been finding the process rather difficult, there's a lot to chew through. Is there maybe an army builder or something out there? Any help would be great.

What is the best Oldhammer retro-clone? I get that this question may ruffle some feathers among purists but it's not a bait. I'm simply curious if there are any successful attempts of improving the original formula and introducing quality-of-life changes. I'm mostly interested in 2e and 3e alternative rulesets.

When did guard platoons stopped being a thing? i found my old models and i kind of want to make a kind of universal army for playing 3/4th and probably some flavour of later midhammer

Is there anywhere I can get metal recasts of the old WHFB dwarves? (Without going via r*ddit). Specifically Ironbreakers, Longbeards and the heroes. The prices on Ebay are nuts thanks to that one goldfish cunt, and the slavs/chinkies only do resin it seems.

So last week I had played in a 40k3rd edition combat patrol day. Real casual attitude event to get the 3rd ed guys in the region familiar with each other. I took my Iron Snakes, games were bumped to 600 points with the usual restrictions and I am happy to report I walked away with 2 wins and only a single loss, which for anyone familiar with my battles is well outside the norm! But the best part of it all, was I made some new gaming friends. Hopefully more games can be arranged and more little events can be had to make it all grow.I'll share a bunch of my photos of the day, sadly I was feeling a bit checked out by game three and didn't think to take any photos of it, which is a shame, because my opponent had a really beautifully painted Imperial Fists army.First photo of my first game against a world eaters warband. It was a blood bath of a battle but I was able to scrape out a win, kept the chaos lieutenant away from my marines by taking him on a merry chase with one of my landspeeder tornados. That wasn't the intention, I had wanted to gun him down but my rolls weren't too hot and his armour saves were too good.

Running a techmarine with servo-harness and gun servitors is tempting because it's so soulful, but man it's really not worth the points.
