Help Suggestions, display board quick n dirty

[1b2a]

I need a viable method of transporting my army but also would like to use it as a display board. Do you guys have any suggestions of something I can buy off the shelf and flock and glue some terrain to for tournys points grab?

Also, can you cross stratagems GSC to tyranids and vice versa (excluding BoB since it says you cant)

Page 110 – Lurk in the Shadows
Change the third sentence to read:
‘Until the end of the phase, enemy models can only
shoot that unit if it is the closest enemy unit that is visible

So does that bypass TFC, exterminators being able to target, say a clamavus in cover and obsucured?

Does a smite count as a ranged attack for hunters drive?

A Psychic Spell is not an Attack.

You cannot cross Strategems, unless you're Imperium/Chaos but not Daemons. They have special permission.

Lurk in Shadow has 1 condition: Closest Unit Visible. Clamavus is not, they cant target it. You may face pushback from tournament saying "XX or YY ignores the requirement of vision, and snipers ignore the requirement of closest", so you should pose the question to the TO before the tournament, as it's not always settled via common sense or mastery of the english language. I highly question wanting to spend 2cp to save a Clamavus in cover and obscured though.

No.

BoB uses the same wording as the errata for the nid Codex. Which is essentially the same as everyone else (ours just explicitly lists the rules that they can't use, where as everyone else just says they can't use the rules in the section. Which includes all the rules we can't use ). But we can't, because it was FAQed that we can't, and apparently that non-difference matters. (Yes, I am still salty about this).

Technically, everyone except 'nids, daemons and Ynnari can cross strats/powers etc. In practice, I don't think there's really anything bar marines and Chaos/Imp, but you don't need special permissions provided keywords match. It's just matching keywords cross Codex is pretty rare.

Q: If the Cloud of Flies Stratagem is used on a Death Guard
Character, does its effect – preventing enemy models shooting
it unless it’s the closest visible target – take precedence over the
ability that, for example, sniper rifles have, that enables them to
target a Character even if they are not the closest enemy unit?
A: Such weapons cannot target the character that is
under the effects of Cloud of Flies (unless the character
is the closest visible target).

As an aside, do note that ignoring LoS does let you target if closest.

Go to the hardware store and pick up a steel garage sale sign (the words on the sign don’t matter, they’re all in the same place). Now get some magnets and glue them under your models bases. If you want to go cheap you can try strip or sheet magnets (also found in the hardware store), but for real security you’ll want rare earth magnets.

Put all your models on the sign and make sure they all stay in place. If everything is okay then base the sign in the same manner as you bases your models. Be sure to leave holes in the basing for your models as the magnets probably won’t have enough power to grab the metal through your basing material.

There you go, quick and easy transportation display base.

Are we sure about this? Is an attack defined anywhere?

[No One]

Technically no, but from context it's pretty obvious that it's something with hit/wound: number of attacks in profile, fast rolling refers to attacks needing same BS/strength etc etc. It's everywhere in shooting/cc, and nowhere in psychic/smite. It's not happening.

Well... It says you cannot SHOOT the closest unit. If you can show in the rules where physic attacks are shooting, you might be on to something. (Hint: they aren't) Psychic attacks aren't restricted from going against characters either unless it's a restriction of the power. This is a hard no.

We were discussing the hunter's stratagem, I ask a lot of questions

Gotcha.

As for the diplay board. I made this out of metal sheeting, styrofoam, and MDF. I magnetize the bases of all my models and this allows them to easily transported and carried from table to table. Just don't drop it! Magnets don't circumvent stupid, I have found. Mine has levels because this was originally made to transport a double skyblight list and the wings interferred with each other.
