WestRider Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My favorite thing is that they've got all this awesome Super-Heavy Weaponry and then random Heavy Stubbers just sort of there because reasons. The models look sweet, tho, and the Rules seem reasonable at first glance. Might well have to stick a chunk of my tax return into one of these.

jollyork Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The Knights are cool, but what about the Legion of the Damned codex in pretre's first thumbnail? That sounds pretty intriguing, too. Says they can ally with any Imperial army, so now you're talking about a possible army of metal behemoths and ghosts - all with a 4++. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aventine Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My understanding is that this one is for IG use. I've also heard rumors that IG will be renamed for a more copyright-able name. Looks like they are their own stand alone army that can be used as primary or allies. I imagine they will be getting their own Ally Matrix Row/Column...

Chaos Lord Chris Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm sure the Knights themselves will be scoring if they're taken as a Primary Detachment. There is probably another rules blurb explaining exactly how it works that we haven't seen yet, but the bit we have seen seems fairly self-explanatory. In any case, Scoring/Troops Walkers are unusual but hardly unheard of, although the fact that they're Superheavy is certainly new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacewolved Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I dunno. Without seeing everything involved, I would still rather have three riptides than two of these... although sm primary with one of these and o'vesa star would be ridiculous. Edit: Scratch that. Only taken as primary or allied detachment. Soooo I guess these primary with riptides ally? Though most likely they will go the way of escalation, SA and data slates; banned by most tournaments.

spacewolved Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Wow... heyyy. For all of you chaos players, the legs of one of these with the top of the khorne dozer would be awesome looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ask and ye shall receive: So GW's basically saying that the 0-1 limit on LoWs means too few super-heavy sales, so now you can bring 7 in a single list... -Pax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The cost is very comensurate with its abilities. Acts like a Vindicator from Hades with legs and better armor. Like: a LOT better armor. For 370 points, I SUPPOSE you can excuse the 6 Hull Points. The Hull Points are silly on that thing. Would make for an interesting game of keep away.

Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The funny one is that only that only that S4 stubber can hurt flyers. So having an army of 3-6 would be total fail against even a single flyer that kept it's facing higher than AV 10. -Pax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be a Fun thing to run but if players are already dealing with Bladebanes and Ripetides these will be no harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think it looks pretty sweet. It's no Warhound, but it's a step in the right direction. I think it'd be fun to run as a primary detachment. I'm interested in seeing the ally matrix, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosGerbil Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I hate to be a downer, but a 12" Crusader model standing in for a 6"-7" or so Knight model is asking a bit much. I think the 15mm Crusaders / Mortis' will be a much close fit, with some scenic basing to give an extra inch or two of height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
