Yep! It's insane how much better third party Orks can be than GW's.

10th Edition: I can attach two characters to a unit, both are eligible to be attached to that unit, which on eis the leader? Do i choose? It's a captain and a lieutenant, and the latter leading makes things considerably less pleasant for any enemy infantry.

How I understand it, the unit gets the benefit of any bonus's from both characters so it doesn't matter. Both are "Leaders" who are leading the unit. When the "Body Guard" unit is destroyed, the characters become separated.
Don't think I have seen anything where you have to pick one to be the leader as normally a unit can only have one character attached.

Help! Youngest has decided he likes this stuff. In clueless. He has a few space marines and Tyranids. Looking for a nice box/case to store his models and paints, for Christmas.

Any recommendations for such a thing?

Dimrill · **Posted:** Sun Nov 12, 2023 13:49

If you want something just to store things while he's painting them, the drawers on this are perfect for citadel paint pots: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exerz-EX3205-D ... 2714/?th=1

If he wants something to carry minis to games etc: https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/for- ... -foam.html althought you might want to go for a rigid case if he's especially heavy handed.

Played a big game on a proper table. My Blood Angels against Adeptus Mechanics. Jeff was a superstar and after being taken down to three wounds in turn one, somehow survived to rip through two tanks, a unit of infantry, and two robots.

Game took over six hours and we ended it at the end of turn four.

MaliA · **Posted:** Sun Nov 12, 2023 15:22

I transported my stuff using two tuppaware boxes and bog roll.

How did you know I was wondering how to get Pikachu on a bus?

I was thinking how I'd like to see Mr Blobby on Taskmaster. Then I saw a squirrel outside and got sidetracked for an hour.

Tsk - you're not allowed to call them that any more. Just like Leagues of Voltann absolutely, definitely are not Squats

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Nov 30, 2023 12:40

Still Squats in Necromunda.

All down to high rental costs in the higher floors and landlords letting some of their lower income properties fall into a state of disrepair.

I think I have maybe a tabletop's worth there now. Got some plastic aquarium plants to make I to a forest or something too.

As a side but I am going to get two three foot by two foot boards and cover them in rough grass paper stuff and then that can sit in the table as the gaming board. (I am not spending £80 on a mat).

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Apr 18, 2024 13:18

I made 3 Killteam boards (roughly 1m x 1m) from plasticard display boards from work. I threw sand on top of drying spray paint and they looked good… no one to play on them with me though once young Master Z got bitten by XBox
