We may even get to manually fire Weapon Emplacements and Emplaced Weapons!<br /><br />My first 1500pt list is really boring, nothing I think will win a game compared to fun of 3 drop pods and Devourer Termagants supported by Tervigons. Will have to see but this feels like going back to 2010. Years of fine tuning and building something and getting to play it in different ways that gradually got better and better and now it's back to basics.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-87770094334474283592014-01-11T22:45:38.449+00:002014-01-11T22:45:38.449+00:00I'm sure they would, my mates were happy for m...I'm sure they would, my mates were happy for me to use my scratchbuilt Tyranid Quad Gun but there's no benefit for going down that route.

So despite all the other enforced handicaps - no allies limited anti-air and not even a full range of figures it was decided we could take a hit, have a few new figures and a few new re-imaginings of existing items and all the others would be online orders.

I'm left unsure of how to proceed. I am considering doing a sneakybugz list with deathleaper as HQ, a few lictors, all my genestealers, and maybe some raveners and a mawlock or two, but I'll have to wait and see the book.
