Heavy Flamers on a Rhino? What else? Multi-Meltas?

My attention. You have it...

I can use this dude! (the razorback part comes off and is replaced with normal Rhino Hatches. Also, there is a spot for normal storm bolter(s).

Storm bolters??? Son, if you're fielding that bad boy, you'd best put on the two single bolters lest I curse the machine spirit to only roll 1's!

Ah, yes Kronk. Sorry. In HH the Rhino and other tanks can take a heavy weapon as a pintlemount if you dont want the more discreet twl. bolter or combi-bolter and have 15pts to spare.

I havn't played a game of regular 40k in.. 4 years.. gosh, so I sometimes forget that some people are not intimately familiar with the Legion Armylist and it's options.


But seriously, regular 40K? why would you? who does that? there is the lovely Horus Heresy you can play instead. or Inquisimunda.

I think Kronk is asking which book it's in. He's got a HH era Imp Fist army already(or at least in infancy), IIRC.

If i recall rhinos get acess to everything but the mutimelta. the mutimelta is on everything eals like vindi's, preds, land raiders, ect. If you could take them on rhinos they would be a no brainer compared to the other pintle mounts.

Eh not so much in 30k because there's quite a lot of Armoured Ceramite.

5th of Sep.

It's specified in the unit entries in the legion army list, both in the one in book 1 and this one: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Horus_Heresy_Books/THE_HORUS_HERESY_LEGIONES_ASTARTES:_CRUSADE_ARMY_LIST.html

And yes, the rhino can't have a multimelta, sorry about being non-specific earlier.

It looks like I don't get the newsletter on my mail anymore. How do I get it back?

Because not all of us want to play Space Marines? I mean I like iron Warriors, but Tau Empire's what got me into the game.

I hope FW eventually give us a "Great Crusade" book with all sorts of lovely Xenos options so that all of that player base can also join in...

There still won't be Tau though

You'd probably be able to 'counts as' them in though, maybe?

I'd hope so!

Yeah I'm sure you could. There were probably plenty of high tech shooty aliens in the galaxy.

I'm sure they'll get on it right after they finish (milking) the HH storyline in 2099.

With the warp, anything is possible. Perhaps there is some conservation of timespacemass and for each of the Dark Angel Fallen that got thrown into the future, some tau had to come back.

I think I mentioned this before but the militia list has so many options that it could easily be used to represent some human/xeno/both empire that the Great Crusade stumbles upon.

They just need to FAQ some of the copy-paste mistakes / typos and add in the missing point costs..

There's nothing stopping people from using the Tau, Necron, Tyranid, etc. Codexes to represent any number of different races encountered during the Great Crusade. Orks and Eldar existed during that time, too.

The militia and cults list also allows for a lot of possibilities.

FW suggests upping the squad numbers of the current non-Imperial armies to make them more Crusade-era appropriate.

100 Boyz per mob, 1000 for a green tide, WAAAGH!

It would make them more durable when facing large tactical squads armed with both bolters and pistol + ccw combo.

Still just 1 Powerclaw Nob though.

More for popping off a wound on termies, jet bikes, high toughness mechanicum constructs, etc

People also don't bother with ceramite on a lot of the lower av stuff, and even if they did the s8 of the multi melta is enough to threaten it with out the melta rule.

Other rhinos, land speeders, drop pods, etc.

The reason why you don't see much melta in 30k armies is because for the same cost plasma dose all of this better. Melta is only a good option if plasma is not on the list.

Solar Auxilia on the other hand doesn't have all that much access to melta weaponry to begin with. However, in my own local meta, the ability to give a Baneblade, Dracosan or Leman Russ Executioner armoured ceramite is good thing, because melta is everywhere yo!

OH YES! White Scars! My favourite legion











Sorry Alpha's you're being put on the back burner now. For the KHAN! And boohoo you Dark Angel fools waiting for your shoulder pads

Oh my. They look absolutely amazing. My WS will be started earlier than anticipated...

The helmets are truly awersome ... sadly white is a pain to paint. Until some special WS units and characters are released, I will prioritize on other stuff ...

Those helmets are indeed the bees knees!

Slanted eyes and buck teeth.

Classy.

I like the V on the power armour chest.

I shudder to think where we would be if GW hadn't invented that number system
