Hey steve i have yet another question... let's say i want to do a baneblade (500 pts) in march, since then we are doing 250 a month and the baneblade is 500 would i be covered for march and april? Thanks

[Logan007]

uh....how do you propose to play a normal 40k game with someone that didn't take a superheavy?

 Good point i did not think of that.

I was going to just bring An'ggrath.

[King of the Elves]

But still, if i where to find someone who would want to play with a superheavy and i did want to buy a baneblade for this how would the point- month system work

[Logan007]

Honestly dude, I don't think superheavies/flyers should be allowed. They really don't fit in the points that we're all doing at this time.

 Yea i get what you are saying but for right now I am just asking in general, how would something like that work. For all i know i may not even buy one. All i am doing right now is asking. And is valkries/ sky talons flyers?

[the_trooper]

The general rules of fliers from Forgeworld being used in 40k are that they become skimmers.  Valkyries become fliers in Apocalypse but are just skimmers in 40k.

A baneblade is 500 points so hypothetically, if they were allowed, would yes, then knock you up into 1000 points.

My 500pts of Guard can't handle 500pts of Marines. What would they do with a Baneblade? I think a Baneblade would cause guardsmen to run away at low points.

I think your 500 points of guard did very well against an equal number of points of marines, if you ask me (I don't remember exactly, but you had your plasma in your CCS squad right? not your PCS).

[jfoodmaster]

Plasma in the PCS. In the next 250, I'm moving some weapons around and adding some autocannons.

[King of the Elves]

in the next 250 im getting some more heavy weapons teams (autocannons)

You guys are gonna love 6th edition.

hmmmmmm I'm curious what that meant.
The guesses I can make are

A. Less vehicles.
B. More and bigger vehicles
