Ish Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well, Astartes helmets do have thermal- and low-light optics... Or the crew could, y’know, reach out and move the netting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’ve been very deliberately making sure that all of my bare-headed Marines have their helmets attached to their belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since there isn't actually a need to do them permanently. The bit that differentiates them will pressure fit (especially if your prime them separately), so they can be completely swappable if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apathy ales Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 So am I correct that this will also apply to Custodes Vertus Preators? I've been debating doing a Outrider Detachment of them to go with some Blood Angels stuff and if I'm reading this right it may be what pushess me over the edge!

StygianArcanum Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Glad to find other people who like the rule. Most of the people I've talked to are salty that there's no AP, that it's not really a buff to Chaos Marines, that all Bolters didn't get this rule. Personally I like the rule; I find it fluffy and possibly pretty effective (not in a position to play my Marines, currently). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I like the rule; I find it fluffy and possibly pretty effective (not in a position to play my Marines, currently). It does apply to Hereticus Astartes (aka Chaos Marines). And it can be combined with many of the CSM stratagems (including the shoot twice one for Slaanesh). And it's a pretty substancial boost to the Rubrik Inferno Boltguns (which are AP-2 boltguns).

StygianArcanum Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Well, their rant devolved by the third beat to "cheap Guard and Knights are the problem," so I think it was mostly the "free puppies, not kittens" thing pretre was talking about. I'm glad there's no Thousand Sons where I am, though. Those Inferno Boltguns sound horrifying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Inferno Boltguns are 24” Rapid Fire 1 S4/AP-2/D1 weapons, which is pretty nasty for other MEQ armies... Most GEQ won’t really see an significant difference. Rubric Marines are something like 18 points each, so they deserve a nice gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Now, if they’d just give the Stalker Bolt Rifle some love... 36” Heavy 1 S4/AP-2/D1 just doesn’t quite have the “bite” that it feels like it should. Giving it the character targeting and Mortal Wound on a 6 rules of the Scout’s sniper rifle would probably be excessive and infringe on the Scout’s niche. Likewise, any change to its rate of fire would just feel off... It is supposed to be a precision marksmanship weapon. Maybe up it’s Damage value to 2? Won’t make a difference for the vast majority of infantry, but it will make it more of a threat to TEQ, Primaris-equivalents, light vehicles, and even make enemy Characters have to think about their maneuvering more closely. Give Auto Bolt Rifles the same AP-1 as Bolt Rifles, but keep Bolt Carbines as they are. Then all three Intercessor weapons all become equally attractive choices, although still specialized for a task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can combine the Rubrik Marines with the Iron Warriors Legion Trait to gain the above that also denies cover.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can’t. Rubric Marines have the faction keywords ‘Chaos, Tzeentch, Heretic Astartes, Thousand Sons.’ They do not have the < Legion > keyword. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
