MC's & Walkers aren't affected by Unwieldy. It's under the special rule itself.

Page 174, Unwieldy states:

'A model attacking with this weapon Piles In and fights at Initiative step 1, unless it is a Monstrous Creature or a Walker.'

In 6th it was under the walker rules.

Thanks

Sweet, first we have Wolverine-Dread, now we have Captain Dread. I'm gonna get another one with a seismic hammer and put a cape on him for DreadThor. Anyone know where I can get a shapely dread clad in skintight leather for Dread Widow?

Ally in a wraithlord. Shapely and elegant is a xenos trait, not imperial. Alternatively: Penitent engine.

Literally assemble, can someone get the Techpriests to reattach Hulkdread's left arm? He keeps taking it off.

But wait until he’s done beating people to death with his own arm before getting to work.

If I had the wealth to do so, I would totally do this

Just curious, say you only got to choose one, would people rather get one of the new Dreadnoughts or a flier?

Edit: Not to bring back up the whole debate on the fliers but I was playing around with the 360 view and just noticed a couple of propulsion engines under the front end. You can just barely notice them protruding but they're there.

Something else with the Blizzard shield - Walkers are +1 Attack for every close combat weapon and with its profile I would expect it counts as a close combat weapon. So instead of losing an attack, the dread with a blizzard shield gains an attack.

I'd go with the dread any day. As much as the flier is probably more useful, the dread just looks too damn cool to pass up. Its also very versatile, what with the weapon variety and what looks to be an easy-to-swap setup. With a pin/magnet or two, you could have Bjorn one game and an axe-and-board dread the next.

I can't see the shield being to many point either. Especially if you give up your ranged weapons (though hopefully you still get one underslung arm weapon). Still super pumped for this. Plus, I want the flyer.....bad...Even if I have to do a bunch of filling in and filing to make it fit my Iron Warriors.

I just wish that GW had better information stream so that I could have saved up earlier in the summer. No I've spent too much money on other companies so GW will have to wait until maybe late October...

Just noticed most of the char. models are out of stock despite being promoted to day. Also just noticed GW is no longer promoting them as Finecast, just highly detailed resin. Maybe that means the next batch will be back to temperature stable plastics.

I hope not... losing a DCCW or a gun shouldn't make it cost more than 10-15pts imho.

Given the position of the arms, the Axe replaces the gun (as it is shown on the right where the gun normally is) and the Shield replaces the DCCW on the left. Unless they are bought as a set.

I'd replace my arjac, canis, and nyjal in a heart beat if it's not finecrap...just to paint.

Frankly losing the gun and the shield only being front arc, if you have to pay anything it is too much.

So this cat's name is Murderfang.

And he kills people with Murderclaws.

But his name is MurderFANG.

But he doesn't have Murderteeth, nor does he have a bite attack.

He claws people to death.

And his name is Murderfang.



That would be like arming Imperial Fists with Power Boots.

Well according to the fluff he bites as well

Hence the exposed head.

Of course you have to be able to tear at the xeno flesh with your teeth to get the blood all over your face and in between your teeth to show them you mean murder!

Then why doesn't he have some humongous unmeltable ice FANGS?!?

Explain.

Because having unmeltable alien ice fangs installed would be awkward heresy! Why would you add xeno filth into your body that isn't the blood you drink as you gingerly snack on them between murder sessions!

"Frost fangs".

'Cause that'd be stupid.

Because it needs to be realistic, stop talking crazy.

As a heads up, if you placed any orders via GW Direct in the past week you should have gotten a pin with Krom Dragongaze's Great Company heraldry on it.


Was kind of surprising when I picked up Illic Nightspear.

No new leaks today?

No, I do not believe so...it has been quiet all day long...to quiet.

So the Rumor is that Wolf Guard Pack Leaders will be able to take Terminator Armor.

What is thing going to mean for Grey Hunters and Blood Claws?

I'm sure its worded like, an upgrade to a wolfguard unit for either boodclaw o grey hunters are just wolfguards. While the Wolguard pack leader is the leader of a wolfguard pack.

if it isn't, LOL

I'll toss a termi with a bloodclaw unit inside of a stormfang.

Well by Wolf Guard Pack Leader I was talking about the Upgraded Character, I just realized I did not make that clear.

I have found that I do not like Terminator Armor with my Blood Claws, it prevents them from making Sweeping Advances.
With Grey Hunters, I am rethinking that.

I think it would make sense. Would make all the warm beer instantly cool when it hits his mouth. Now that I think about it, I think he also needs a beer helmet to keep him going.

Same thing as it always has except now it won't take an elites slot if you want Termi leaders with no associated WG pack.

I wonder if the wolf guard upgrade replaces a pack member (so that you can have a full strength pack and still use rhinos and drop pods).

From what I have read, yes.
The thing about the Terminator armor is that it removes some transport options
>Rhino/Razorback: No Terminator Armor
>Drop Pod: Loose the 10th Model
>Stormwolf [Rumored as a Dedicated Transport]: Good for both Grey Hunters and Blood Claws
>Stormfang Gunship: A flying Razorback that won't be affected by the Terminator Armor.

Also for allies it makes it easier since you dont have to take the three wolfguard to get them in your units.

I always wanted to throw a termie wolf guard in my allied wolves but it was just not possible.
