If it took from 40k, it took all the worst parts and ignored the best. Now, if it was ACCURATE to 40k, it'd actually be a better movie. Enemy force deploys a single Guard detachment thats recovering from a larger battle. More men at arms on the planet than there are locals...by at least THREE times. And this is before their armor and artillery comes in.

You forgot to mention Dreadnoughts!!! that was the class of ship in rebel moon. Admiral Noble's flagship was called a dreadnought. While in Warhammer 40k, as you are aware, they are a sarcophagus for space marines after sustaining critical and near death wounds. Once interred they can continue serving the chapter and imperium in battle. As the old saying, "Even in death, I still serve".

Excellent video, very enjoyable and a very useful overview of the absolute jungle of rules that is Rogue Trader. Would you happen to know if there were ever rules for Eldar Scouts in Rogue Trader? I know that the first minis were released in 1988, but I haven't managed to find any rules for them before a 1993 WD article, which of course are rules for 2nd edition.
@toyznthehood3 ай бұрын
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't think there were any special rules for Eldar Scouts until 2nd Edition - the big book of Eldar rules was really the Compilation and they're not an option there - although I believe Exodites are mentioned and they felt like they crossed over with Scouts. The Scouts are some of my favourite miniatures, they're iconic

I remember that event. May have been the one I picked up the best Space Marines player at. I'd warned the organisers that their spreadsheet had some of the equations in it incorrect on the Saturday, as it was clearly giving erroneous results. The end of play scores posted on the Saturday evening were simply incorrect in some of the totals etc! Whoever was on the phone gave you some duff info. (Zak or Nick?) The rules pack actually said if your faction had 3 or fewer players then the average they compared you to should be the tournament average of all players, but instead they had compared you to the single other player on the old codex. IIRC you scored something like mid to high teens (I want to say 19, but it's been a while), whilst he scored about 5, and it gave you about a 14 point difference, which was almost mathematically impossible for the other factions to compete with! The average you were compared to was also supposed to not include yourself (ie the average of the *other* players using the same codex), which the spreadsheet was doing correctly for factions of 3 or under, but not the bigger ones. The daft thing was several of us actually told the organisers they'd got it wrong before you'd left the hall, so no phone call should have been necessary. As a side note, they later had to remove the bonus points for favourite opponent due to people abusing the system. At the event following the one you won, the winner of most sporting got 5 out of 5. However, one of his opponents had not voted for him- and had actually raised a complaint about his unsporting behaviour. A few events later someone got 6 votes out of 5 when not only did the guy's five friends he came with vote for him- so did one of his opponents, to prove the system was being abused! It was only after this that WHW finally did something to address the problem.

I think your memory is better than mine! I tried to find a rules pack to check but Games Workshop must have had them all pulled ;) I also didn't expect this video to be quite as popular as it is! They were quite pleased that someone had won with a bit of an odd army - i remember one of the ref's telling me how i bet i was surprised to win it. which is very true as I knew i was the best Dark Eldar, that maths was easy. I have spoken with the GW chap since, he's now one of my best mates - it was an error in the spreadsheet as you say although it's now been so long neither of us remembered much of the details. They also didn't get any input into the system, it was created by Jervis Johnson in the studio and they were told they had to run it as is. I can imagine the Studio coming up with the rules but not the excel spreadsheet! I think the one thing it did do really well was change the way people viewed GWs events. They were a lot more fun afterwards with a lot less competitiveness. and it was cool that other places picked up on the GTs

So, you had an unfair advantage in having early access to the codex from the start and exploited it. Not an in-game exploit, but a meta exploit. This take-back *would* have been the correct response... Right up to the part where the codex was released before the event. Since there was no "x weeks until it's legal for events" restriction on codex rules, you did nothing wrong. Shitty of you, maybe, but not wrong. Some other person who is an avid collector, fast reader, and had the crunch time to spare could have done the same. However, as this story is told, the T.O. should have eaten this failure to catch the fact that you were able to acquire a product early, and therefore gain advantage. Still, they did not have a proper leg to stand upon since the product was on the shelves. As this story is told, you won, accordingly. You should kinda feel bad about the exploit, but not as bad as the T.O. should feel about their lack of integrity.

Nice story I think however there is a big issue with early preview copies of codex’s being given to Tournament teams, it’s an unfair advantage over everyone else. At my local GTs a few years back we had a big problem (still do to a lesser extent) of WH40k teams showing up with the current *meta* lists with new rule books that have barely been out, yet they’ve had the unique experience of testing out army lists using the new rules for over a month. Seems really disingenuous. Thankfully some TOs have sense to ban new rules until the FAQ is out.

@@toyznthehood Yep, sometimes it takes someone finding and exploiting the loopholes a few times to galvanize organizers/companies to fix issues. Looking a you Microsoft... ;)
You didn't win and then lose. You won and had it stolen. My status as valedictorian had the same thing done. It was taken for the same reason (political). When I claimed it while applying to colleges, I was told I wasn't the valedictorian but I had a funny little piece of paper. It was printed by the school counselor showing that I had placed first for GPA in my graduating class.
I quit GW when they bought out Age of 40k and moved my local store from a good sized outlet with 3 or 4 6/4 tables and another 4 4/4 AND a well lit painting table able to sit 6 or 8 people to a shoebox that just sold products. Fortunately, as mentioned the change happened around the time Age of 40k replaced Warhammer fantasy.
Can you share links to the toys or 3d print files?
I got most of them off eBay - if you search Alien Eaglemoss Figures that will find the toys - that's the figures and the ships. the Pulse Rifle was also from eBay - printed 3d Pulse Rifle. I think it's basically this - cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/aliens-pulse-rifle-m41a-moving-parts-new-shotgun-update. The urn was a massive indulgence from Jim Van Dijk Creations - you can find him on instagram. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
@@toyznthehood that does help, thanks! Was the burster also an eaglemoss figure or 3dp? I can't find that anywhere
@@amekomidarake The bloodburster is a conversion of the old Alien3 Halcyon models from nearly 30 years back. I resculpted the head and tail and then twisted the legs to make it. I'm really please with how it came out - it's one of my favourite things in the new movies
Feels like when they catch an Athlete with doping and then they say you are not the champion anymore.... but in this time it was them who inflated the numbers... Ok... At least you kept the trophy
Too bad you didnt get a chance to make a cast of it. At least it d be a consolation ptize
Can I make a mold of that?😊
It would look great on any shelf, it’s a lovely model. And if someone breaks in it’s big enough to be a club!
Not a fan of those "soft points", like fairness, favorite player, best painted etc... I witnessed tournements where this things caused real fights between the players because some teams descided to vote strategicly and pushed the players of their enemy clubs down..
Agreed, they are open to abuse. It does remove the competitive element from a tournament at least, but it depends why you’re playing tournaments
@@toyznthehood I technically made the last place at 2 Grand Tournaments here in Germany. At least I would have bacause I won best painted in both and earned so many soft points that I got pushed somewhere in the middle. That annoyed me, because last place of 300 players would have been a far greater archievement than 143th or something...
What an ego you have.
Thank you for feeding it!
@@toyznthehood put it on a diet
In a tournament of beta males, nobody wins.
Nice story I think however there is a big issue with early preview copies of codex’s being given to Tournament teams, it’s an unfair advantage over everyone else. At my local GTs a few years back we had a big problem (still do to a lesser extent) of WH40k teams showing up with the current *meta* lists with new rule books that have barely been out, yet they’ve had the unique experience of testing out army lists using the new rules for over a month. Seems really disingenuous. Thankfully some TOs have sense to ban new rules until the FAQ is out.
Waiting for the FAQs is a good call. The rule at the time was that the book had to be released already but that could just be a week. I think they changed it after so it had to be two weeks.
Thanks for sharing with us this one took me back. I used to come down from Scotland for the tournaments, I think we may have sat and chatted in a busy Bugmans on a Saturday evening at one of them 2008 or 2009 ish ? I agree played a few Italian lads nice but frustrating...
2008 or 9 sound about right. I was definitely a regular in Bugmans!
@toyznthehood I remember just wanting to chat about the hobby and how I got into painting and collecting forces and the history story lines.... also the guys trying to get the extra points for being nice hahaha
