Doug,

it was legal last year not because someone ok'd the use of it in that way.  It was legal because of the way that the Grey knights codex worked with the new imperial guard codex.

I'm not 100% sure that the new grey knight codex will be out by the mega battle, but if it is that is the one you will have to use if you want to field an inquisitor again.   The mini you use is acceptable but please post a picture of it for general viewing or bring it down to the store so someone can offically sign off on it.

Doomscape still looking forward to seeing posts of the old gw models you wish to bring this year.  I am curious to see them since I haven't seen the models before.

Yup yup. I'll keep an eye out for the new codex then and have a backup plan made in case it doesn't let me haha!     Too bad it's due out just before the battle though.

The God-machines walk to battle!

Jester, my computer had a moment of clarity last night and refuses to boot, so I'll have to post those pictures this evening after the new computer's been put through its trial run.  I think Derek already signed off on them, though, but for the sake of the rest of y'all I'll post them on the pbucket tonight

I may also post pictures of Da Drill, which sadly didn't get to make an appearance last time around due to my army getting blasted off the board turn one by an errant doomsday device and Njall Stormcaller.  I was going to use it as a submersible, but let me run it by everyone and see what we think.  My modelling skills have come a long way in a year.

Alright folks, here's the link to the photobucket account - please note the 'regular' battlewagon has been included for comparison's sake.

Let me know what you think - the rogue trader battlewagon would be open-topped, and the two others would be enclosed cabs with kill kannons or whatever the big gun is called.  Wouldn't put troops in 'em.

Looks about right scale and overall to me. Thats one of the cool things about orks; make it about the right size and look, and it tends to work out fine. You ever see Paul's spare parts killa kans? I think better than the GW ones.

[jesterofthedark]

I do often miss the old rules of orks having zany weapons.  I mean we still have the shokk attack gun, but its just not the same....

[Grand Master Steve]

 I for one approve of classic orks. But my vote isn't the one that matters its Kevin and Paul's.

[Doomscape]

So those look ok to people then?  If so I'll get to painting them up

[tyranid warlord]

I think you did a nice job thay look great.

Dougles, I hate to burst your bubble but the current rumors (read 99% truth) is that Grey Knights will not have access to the Valkyrie's.   Instead they will have access to the Stormraven Gunships.

Also who rode their space marines into battle on Valkyries last year?

So before someone gets called on being illiterate...

...an on topic post!

What are people's thoughts on movement trays for large formations?  For movement and deployment?

Some armies can be neutered as they take larger model count armies.  As this presents no real benefit besides speed of play and deployment, this isn't exactly a rules issue so much as an encouraging way to have people be more efficient.

I don't recall if this were covered and if there was any issue with it.  As far as I can tell / remember / know it isn't illegal in terms of game rules.

[jesterofthedark]

Doomscape I think the models are great.

Rich: I like the idea of movement trays to help speed the game, as a horde player I have been often told in games to Hurry my movement.  But I fear that due to table design it may not be an option.  If anyone remembers the swamp tables from last years mega battle.  I guess if we wanted to make this happen it would have to be co-ordinated with Derek and the table constructors.
