The command tank upgrade really is 200 pts, it is not a typo..

Also..



feth yes!

YES. FINALLY. A BANEBLADE CROSS SECTION!

Now I can read Guy Haley's book and visualize it all better.

Also, wow, you're allowed to have 4 sponsons on one tank. Jeez. I guess the 200 points to make it a High Command unit is justified somewhere else in the book?

Always been able to. All my Stormlords are slated to be set up that way, when I get to them in the build/paint Queue.

Edit: I am somewhat less than thrilled to see that the cost of the Stormlord has gone up, too.

What's the "Command" option for the Baneblade get you?

And, whatever it is, could it possibly be worth 200 points?

Also, I really hope the oddball cool stuff like Imperators are still in.

But, even if they aren't, this is Apocalpyse, and we'll just have to 'make do' with rules from the last time around!

It seems that Warlords and the teams Warmaster will have special abilities (that Finest Hour stuff), perhaps there is a list of those for armored vehicles?

@Alph: From what I've gathered, it counts as a HQ choice and is part of the High Command formation, whatever that might mean.

Silly double post...

To celebrate the new Apocalypse Edition, GW has discontinued most cheap squadron bundles like Eldar Warwalkers and Vypers.
Some became standard products though like the ancient Eldar jetbikes, SM bikes and Crisis Suit sets.

Are you being silly? Because...

Vypers ($15 price break)

War walker link looks to be broken though, so you might have something there.

It does look like GW discontinued it, quite possibly because the 1-click bundle is based on individual, not the discounted price of 3, and thus to make the bundles add up and not be a scam, they axed the discounted sets.

Instead of, you know, reducing the price of the bundle accordingly to its normal 0% discount.

Try to put those vypers into the shopping basket

Huh, they replaced the Structure points with Hull Points. Good.

I guess that means you can glance super heavies to death

Wacky. Maybe they were intended to be a limited time thing. Dunno.

Well, they already got hullpoints with the FW Apoc update for 6th edition so not much news there, just the removal of the SP system from the looks of it. I wonder if that also means the different damage table has gone.

As fars as the Command upgrade goes. From readin that I get the impression there's something special rules for High Command formations, might be that the rules changed from what the command upgrade used to be, maybe the 200pts cost will actually be justified.

Perhaps? but I would need to see the model to know if the scale is correct....

You could already do that. The Apocalypse FAQ, prior to this release, had 1 Structure point = 3 Hull points.

The leviathan legs make that model look BOSS!

the pic in Brooks post looks like the "command" option makes the SHV a HQ choice and a "high command formation".
I'd guess formation beeing the important part.

Or, Solar Macharius himself is giving you tips ( read : bonuses ) , if you pay the fee of 200 points...he liked Baneblades as rides...

I'm just going to leave this here...

I regret nothing. No, I didn't write it

There is still a super heavy damage chart. I managed to decipher the small text in the latest WD of the teaser pics of the rulebook and it referenced a super heavy damage chart.

I was thinking of a Leviathan and Khorne Lord. The top of the Leviathan for the tank treads and the something like the photo shop above.

I thought I read that the model is 8" tall.. can anyone confirm that?

The Chaos "Zord/Dinobot" jokes are really funny, and get even funnier every single time somebody posts them as an original work.

I mean the Robot Wars comparison is hilarious, but you can't beat the classics... eh?

Ok, now that looks like a boss from Doom.

Baron of Hell, people.

Which it looks nothing like other than being bipedal.

I don't get it. It is like everyone wants to be the guy who coins the new 'chibihawk' or 'baby carrier'. Tiresome.

The only reason to keep checking this thread is on the off chance someone posts the fort rules.

You and me both buddy.

yeah,

Looks like you need to send GW a cease and desist they appear to have made 3rd party parts compatible with your existing range...?

Not the HellBaron... the baron was all meat and threw green stuff.

It's a Little like bit like the doom cyberdeamon.
It looks about the right size but too heavily armoured... But it's got horns and its Massive with a massive Gun for its left arm...


Panic...

New pics on WhiteDwarf's blog!
Command tank:
The vehicle is a high command formation as well as a super heavy vehicle, and counts as an HQ choice.
Assets:
FlankMarch: Only allows one formation to flank march
OTher assets but I can't read them that well at work.
