I only began the wargaming aspect of my Warhammer 40,000 hobby just recently, at the end of 2014. Before that I used to only read Black Library novels. Ciaphas Cain was what got me in, and he's always fighting against Tyranids. :)Tanaka Tomoyuki 田中友幸https://www.blogger.com/profile/17598005783370199103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233981242027235620.post-1076453845618815032017-05-01T00:52:58.909-05:002017-05-01T00:52:58.909-05:00I see what you did there with "blast" ha...I see what you did there with "blast" haha.<br /><br />Yah, how they deal with formerly Large Blast weapons is the only thing I am nervous about so far.<br /><br />Take the common Str 8 AP3 Large Blast guns like the Battle Cannon and Monolith's Particle Whip.<br /><br />If those do 2D6 hits they are good against Heavy Infantry still, but probably insanely overpowered against vehicles and MCs. But if they only do D3 hits they aren't good at hunting Heavy Infantry anymore, which was their main purpose (for me at least).<br /><br />I mean, I actually have a decent amount of faith in New GW(TM), so I'm sure it will be fine. But I'm nervous.<br /><br />Also: you have an INSANELY good memory. Even *I* had pretty much forgotten I used to write for Talk Wargaming haha.Jesse Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363667921446132400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233981242027235620.post-61242979151572592982017-04-30T17:04:54.912-05:002017-04-30T17:04:54.912-05:00Really?

Yay!<br /><br />I remmeber, you wrote the Tyranids article for a wargaming website once, pointing out the problems with the 6th edition codex where the Tyranids lack their adaptability themes and stuff. It makes sense now that you worship the four-armed emperor and unleash Mawlocs on the poor Imperium.<br /><br />In any case, I hope we find out soon.Tanaka Tomoyuki 田中友幸https://www.blogger.com/profile/17598005783370199103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233981242027235620.post-65149704254784740562017-04-30T15:49:24.136-05:002017-04-30T15:49:24.136-05:00"How do blast weapons work now?

Uh..."<br /><br />I can't find it because Twitter is a nightmare to search but I was told that Peter Foley confirmed on his Twitter that not only are all templates gone, but the scatter mechanic has been completely removed.<br /><br />I was really hoping they'd cover this in shooting today, because I am dying to know how this will effect things like the Mawloc's Terror from the Deep attack. Can... can I just place him on an enemy unit now?<br /><br />As for blast weapons, maybe it's going to be D6/2D6 hits for Blast/Large Blast weapons similar to Flamers?Jesse Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363667921446132400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233981242027235620.post-69719429795180538742017-04-30T14:51:45.552-05:002017-04-30T14:51:45.552-05:00I hope so too.
