Oryn Babbalui Damn. I have to check that out. If not, i'm SO getting it. If so, then what about the baracudda? That's a lot smaller. I wouldn't think that it's a super heavy. Barracuda is a Heavy, Tigershark is a Superheavy last I checked. However, while Forgeworld models and rules may be legit, better make sure you have the actual rulebook with you. Also, despite the fact that Forgeworld okay to field, you might run into people grumbling about the fact that you have a flier in your list. Fliers can be impossible to deal with for some armies, and the attack run rules are alot harder on your opponents than Apocalypse's flier rules. They will probably grumble, but if you have the money to buy something like that, you should be able to use it. Those are my ideas on it. If you can buy it and there are legal rules for it, then b***h all you want, but i'm still fielding it. talk2hand Wow, I can't believe I just used that emoticon. Meh, it suits how I feel about it.

-Mykal I wouldn't say that. It is actually 1.4, not 2. That would be a lot of money. neutral

What dreamworld are you living in?
confused
It's not been 1GBP to 1.4USD for a good few months. Perhaps a year, even. It's 1GBP to 2.03USD or something, and I know that for fact because not even 2 hours ago my friend sent me some money.

Remember, they are always free to say that they'd rather not play against Forgeworld units. And shelling out the cash doesn't automatically mean that they should be fielded. Imagine your frustration if your opponent turned up with a bunch of expensive heavy weapons that were completely invulnerable. Not Falcon-style in which they were merely hard to kill but ineffectual, but effective units that you are unable to even shoot at. That's the sort of experience some players can have against Fliers. Most Forgeworld units that aren't superheavies are okay. However, Fliers can be impossible to deal with for some armies.

Hes right, its better forgeworld superheavies not be used in anything other then apocalypse, infact, even if their not super heavies. The person can still say no, which leaves you with a useless dead weight.

Redtuskk, where the Hell do you get your information, this is like the third or fourth time you've said something blatantly wrong... If a person says "no" to your using of forgeworld models, that's like them saying "no" to you using a Land Raider. I mean, I field Death Korps of Krieg. Can I not play just because my normal average Imperial Guardsmen are made by Forgeworld? confused On the note of fliers, that's something different, and I can understand how they can be a giant pain. Superheavies are just the same as anything else though. While they may be a giant machine of death, remember that you pay the points for it, just the same as any other expensive unit.

Redtuskk Hes right, its better forgeworld superheavies not be used in anything other then apocalypse, infact, even if their not super heavies. The person can still say no, which leaves you with a useless dead weight. I didn't say anything about superheavies. Forgeworld superheavies are fine, they come with their own rules that more or less balance them for use in normal games. Xenos Mortium If a person says "no" to your using of forgeworld models, that's like them saying "no" to you using a Land Raider. I mean, I field Death Korps of Krieg. Can I not play just because my normal average Imperial Guardsmen are made by Forgeworld? confused Yeah, when I said that people may refuse to play you, I mean that they can do that as a last resort, the same way you can always refuse to play a game against the local asshat, or you can refuse to play against any Necron players because your army does pants against them. You can do it, but it's not exactly courteous. Xenos Mortium On the note of fliers, that's something different, and I can understand how they can be a giant pain. Superheavies are just the same as anything else though. While they may be a giant machine of death, remember that you pay the points for it, just the same as any other expensive unit. Not only do you pay the exorbitant points cost for it, but you're already playing a game of 2000 points or more. Frankly, at 2k points, there's not a whole lot you can fit into your list and still have a Titan. Go up to 3k, and look, it's a junior Apocalypse game.

I would also like to point out that the entries that FW creates for their models are almost always by default more expensive. Warwick Kindrade said this himself as a way of somewhat balancing things. Just look at the point difference between the FW Baneblade entry and the GW Apocalypse entry.
Plus as is told in the prologue of the Imperial Armour books, refusing your opponent to play with FW models is like telling someone to not field an Eldar Avatar or Land Raider.

As oryn pointed out, people can just say no to superheavies as they would special characters. And though its rarer people can say no to anything, to specific armies or specific army types, theyre not obligated to play a game if they dont want to. Some people have told my cousin he isnt allowed to use his FW land speeder that has 1 more point of armor and I forget what guns, but the things pretty bad a**, because it was in a special rulebook that they werent familiar with. Not a big deal.
That mightve been what redtuskk was trying to get at and just botched terribly.

I just got my Tau models today...I'm almost afraid to open the box because I haven't ever put together a model, unless you count those Grade 1 Gundam Wing models that snap together.
