Anyone want a game tonight, tomorrow, or Wednesday? I'm itching for more fantasy, but wouldn't be adverse to some 40k, depending on who's available.
At NDG would be preferable. I need to throw some money at some crack.

I'm down for a game tomorrow evening, I can play around 5:30 if that works for you? Fantasy would be best for me as well - I can slug out the lizards or the warriors; I have a new Khornate list I kind of want to try out...
2400?

Yessss. You will destroy me so completely Nick, but I will take it like a pretty little man baby. Cause that's what you're into I hear.

TRUE
Also, sidenote, I read somewhere that tyranid warriors are supposed to go to S/T 5 and become elites again....have you heard anything similar?

I haven't heard that, but that sounds cool. I've heard two things: that they'll stay T4 but anything that would cause Instant Death only does D3 wounds and that they'll be available as sergeant upgrades for Gaunt squads. The latter would go well with what you heard: available in limited numbers to support swarms, or as elite units on their own. I would only hope that they'd have the ability to be scoring if that happened though.
Also, remember that lady who is doing the communication study? She might observe our game tomorrow. Is that cool?
Also, if anyone else wants to play tonight or Wednesday, I'm in. Jonesing like crazy here.

Yeah man, the watcher in the dark (ie communications lady) is more than welcome.
Yeah I heard that they would be upgrades to gaunt squads, and while I like that imagery (warriors and synapse creatures wading through a sea of lesser creatures), that rumor came out at a time when a lot of fale rumors were being generated by trolls on 4chan, so idk how much weight I'd put behind it.
I can see them making them like sanguinary priests from the blood angels dex - purchase them as elites in groups of 3 but attach them to other squads individually as independant characters.
Frankly, as long as they combat the instant death issue, I'm ok with it.

COOL. She's a decent person. Better than any of us, that's for sure.
The Sanguinary Priest treatment would be phenomenal. I really wish they had done that with chaplains for DA. I just want Nids to ease back on the elites section a bit. It's so fucking crowded as is; if they do move warriors to elites, hopefully the characters move to upgrades to squads (Doom added to Zoanthrope unit, etc.) and lessen the load.
One word would make the codex more than anything though: biomorphs. Gimme gimme.

I could be talked into a fantasy game today. I have the day off and would be up for trying out the new dark elves rules.

Just real quick Nick, do you mind if I use proxies? Still figuring out what I want. I'm sure you're cool with it, but I'd rather ask and know then show up and disappoint your heart. At least, any more than I normally would.

Yeah man do your thing. I'm going to be playing lizards I think, and half of my temple guard unit is actually chaos chosen warriors, funnily enough.

Yeah I got beaten pretty handily by the new Dark Elfs, that book is rock solid. It didn't help that I deployed extremely poorly, and that in his first turn he killed/crippled my warmachine hunters/lvl 1 wizards. Between that and blowing up my entire temple guard block by 6-dicing High Magic's big flaming spell (the name escapes me), and it was a landslide.
Hell of a lot of fun though! We'll have to get a rematch going soon.
Ps, anyone know which book lore is best for taking out dark elves? For whatever reason I had a hard time finding a clear cut advantage to any of them, unless you count lore of fire's damage spells since they're only T3. I ended up switching my spells to life, which just didn't help.
