PourSpelur Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well, it's official...I love the armored ones! Personally, my favorite is the Aquila riveted to the Ogryn's tank top. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Also, it's funny to see how prevalent crotch-plates are becoming in the Imperium. First the Centurions, now these poor guys. It's becoming so fashionable, that one bloke had to salvage tank treads to fit in. Glad to see everyone taking their reproductive health seriously. Can you picture all the Guard bases looking like trailer parks? Bunch of Chimeras without treads, sitting up on blocks in front of the barracks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosGerbil Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Meh, maybe it's the posing and the bright clean paintjobs but they don't look very menacing. I would like to see the Ogryns in dirty white tank tops though, and jeans. The respirator head is fun and Nork is a winner. The Hydra is great, but if in the rules it still has skyfire but not interceptor I'll stick with the two conversions I have. Heavy support is crowded enough.

Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The top one makes me think of Bane. Dark Eldar do have a Batman like look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Damn. Too cool. I'm really liking what I am seeing in this codex so far. Good looking models, making Storm Troopers not be "just another interesting but ultimately unslot worthy unit" (which is long overdue) and does one DARE to hope that Rough Riders will actually get a positive treatment here? Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGerbil Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I can't find any rules rumors yet. My wishlist involves: an order for interceptor, and orders for vehicles. lower costs for weird and unpopular units like abhumans and RRs homeworld rules (city fighters, jungle fighters, desert dudes, arctic attackers, mechanized, underhive scum for example) more variety for psyker lords and psyker battle squads more offbeat wargear to make characters stand out, and cheap enough to be worth taking on a fragile frame Vox casters should be cheap or included in the squad for free There should be more leadership tricks for fragile guys like heavy weapon squads or perhaps a small points decrease Most of the tanks are costed pretty fairly, but bulldozers should be 5 pts I would like to propose we start calling these guys "Space Army" in honor of the name change.

generalripphook Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I also would like heavy weapons to become eternal warrior.....it doesn't make sense a model with two men can be killed with a single shot.....I mean seriously? Are the two guys lined up and let every shot go through the chest of both of them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Two guys in close proximity walk into a krak missile... Or two guys in close proximity to a large amount of ammo, explosives, high capacity power packs walk into a krak missile... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh but still, I'd like to see them with a little more durability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The supposed taurox (Or is it Tau Rocks??) would look a million times better as a half-track than a whatever it is now. Would look great as a Mordian Iron Guard vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ehh but still, I'd like to see them with a little more durability It is the t3 that gets them maybe the gun's protection gets them t4 instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGerbil Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I find it amusing that the FW saber platforms are basically a weapon team on stilts, yet count as toughness 7! A halftrack Taurox is definitely the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 It is the t3 that gets them maybe the gun's protection gets them t4 instead... Or a gun save to represent the blast shield on the weapon giving them a better armor save, or cover save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned that it's gonna take us another 38,000 years to figure out proper dick protection. It's the wave of the future, guys.

Those are pretty standard pieces of GW terrain, aren't they? Also, Deadzone terrain is great for big tall buildings. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFireBob Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 They get a new book, the pic for it is posted in the OP. The cover for the supplement is not shown but the price and page number listed are for the supplement. So yes, the IG will have a new codex And I will have to learn to refer to them as Astra Militarum. Space Military, Space Troopers, Space Army. I do not know how to translate Latin so anyone want to give it a go? Of astral miltariast, or similar. GW's cases are atrocious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think that most people will end up calling them Ehh-Emm or Astra or IG or Guard. It is very unlikely that someone will call them Astra Militarum most of the time. Just as most people don't say 'Tau Empire' or 'Chaos Space Marines' when you ask them what army they are playing, they say 'Tau' or 'Chaos'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
