Hi, I've been looking at the Speed Freeks army list in White Dwarf (UK version, sorry) and have been trying to construct a 2700 point list without aircraft and spacecraft (a bit un-speed freek IMO even if they travel through space at a squillion mph!) and I've come up with a preliminary list that seems ok from a fluff point of view (which is more important to me than tournament-winning potential). Was wondering what people's opinions on this list are... Speed Freeks Army Big Speed Freek Warband - (350) +Mekboy Bad Ork Bikeboy Big Speed Freek Warband - (350) Big Kult of Speed - (400) +Mekboy Speedsta Warbike Outriders - (150) Warbike Outriders - (150) Big Blitz Brigade - (385) +Gunfortress Fortress Mob (2 Battlefortresses) - (660) +1 Nob and 14 Boyz Big Blitz Brigade (8 Deth Koptas) - (250) Total Points: 2695 points Not completely sure on the divide between buggies, warbikes and skorchas in some of the mobz yet, but this would probably be governed by what I would receive in the multiple blisters this would require. I'm also planning on making my Mekboy Bad Ork Bikeboy's "bike" similar to the monowheel on p.104 of the rulebook, but I am having trouble gathering potential parts, so if anyone can think of parts which would suit it, any tips would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at the 40k bike wheels, but they are a bit too large to use. Thanks |

I think it looks pretty good. The Outriders are probably too fragile, but other than that it's fine. For my taste, I would drop the fortress mob and replace it with some armor. I can understand that it's the closest to an actual infantry mob you can get, but it's really pricey. Besides, you already have some big, assault-oriented formations. For about the same price, you could get a Big BB with 2 gunfortresses or Speestas. Better yet, combine the outriders into one Big formation and use the points saved plus the cost of the fortress mob to get 2 basic BBs with gun fortress and speesta. But as I said, that's just my personal preference. |

I just checked out some Q&A on the SF list in the playtest forum. Apparently, the outriders went from 4/mob in the vault list to 5/mob in the WD article. I think that's too cheap, and a bit unbalanced. It's bikes with Scout ability for less than the price of a normal bike. Also, if you upgrade a nob to a nob warbike, you do lose the trukk he would normally come with. |

I received my Imperial Guard Character packs from MO this morning. These are very nice models. ?Nothing miscast in any of the blisters, which is good. The contents are: 2 Commissar Yarricks 3 Commissars 9 Officers (5 differing models) 3 Standard Bearers (2 differing models) 5 Sanctioned Psykers (2 differing models) 1 Ogryn 3 Vox-operators 3 Guardsmen (a funny looking model this one, has an open great coat a large hat and a lasgun, I guess you could use it as an officer if you wanted) You get these on 6 sprues in the blister, in this way. Sprue 1 (one per blister): Ogryn, Standard Bearer, Officer, Officer (both officers on this sprue are quite fancy looking, I think they are meant to be Supreme Commanders) Sprue 2 (three per blister): Officer, Vox-operator, Psyker, Guardsman, Commissar Sprue 3 (two per blister): Officer, Standard Bearer, Psyker, Officer, Yarrick This pack is great, I really like the variation of the officers, and nearly all of the models are very well done. ? My favourite model has to be the regular Commissar. ?He has a Powerfist and Bolter, and the extra detail that has been sculpted on him (its based on the old plastic commissar) is great. Rob |

Are all the characters modeled with the steel legion breather mask? By looking at the picture it would appear they are, can you confirm this? Thanks for the report. |

Most of them have a mask. The only ones that don't are Yarrick and the Sanctioned Psykers. Rob |

Appreciate that. Looks like these character packs are turning out to be pretty high quality. |

Cool! Now to think of all that time I erroneously spent scultping a Powerfist onto my Commissar last year... |

W/D lists some of those figs as Lieutenants and Imp. Preachers. So one of those Psykers and some of those Officers may be of what they speak !

Just got Fanatic #6 and it shows who and what you get in the SM, IG and Ork C-packs. And how to mount them if you need guidance. I know you Europeans, have already got this issue, but over here in the "colonies of the new world", we "rustics" are about a month behind, if not more !
