This is true. I honestly can't even understand the actual meaning of the post you're talking about.

He says he's seen a pic of the Stompa and it's awesome and that we can't wait to see it.

I like it how the N&R forum is becoming the home of "I know something you don't know and I'm not going to tell you!".

To tell the truth, I'm not big on it. It's Yakface's fault though, he started it. Thanks a lot Yakface, oafv.

I've also noticed an increasing amount of drivel posts during my brief time here so far. Very unfortunate, clearly we need a Grammar nazi around here to terrorize our less punctuation-oriented users. I'd call on Grotsnik but unfortunately he's already our moral compass...

Judging from the text in your signature I'd say you'll make an excellent candidate.

Pics or it didn't happen seems apropos for this matter.

I don't want to be the "Grammar nazi" (hate that word btw.), it's just that one of the things I enjoy most on Dakka, is that a lot of people actually take their time to write readable posts.

What kind of foul, twisted creature would decide not to include a plasma blastgun in this kit?

Jervis?

It seems easy enough to just ignore a poorly written post. I don't see the need for anyone to become the "grammar nazi", "grammar police", "third grade english teacher", "self righteous know it all", "I'm more clever than you are, guy". Its a public forum, not a grammar class. You don't get a gold star for giving the correct answer. Once somone reads their poorly written post in comparison with other posts, they will get the point.

I admire your faith in the common sense of humanity, misplaced though it is.

No. I'm just not that critical, or knit picky about other peoples posts. Some people just go around looking for an excuse to be annoyed.

Sure, I get that, it was just this:

"Once somone reads their poorly written post in comparison with other posts, they will get the point."

that seemed a little... odd...

The same kind that made the Deffrolla a direct only sprue. Wonder if they'll do the same for the Blastgun...

That ticked me off.

Well, if they do, I for one will be happy.

And I won't whine or whinge either...

A) someone intelligent enough to envision another plastic kit to sell in numbers ?

B) the stormblade stays in FW range because they lose alot of SHT and maybe also the valkyrie?


After a closer inspection of those 2 pics and my plastic baneblade (not built yet), i think that we get 1 or 2 additional sprues
and the sprue for the turret / main gun + the sprue for the upper hull/commander/demolisher is replaced by shadowsword
typical upper hull and guns.This could keep the plastic kit at "baneblade-level" in $/€ . Just my guess

A tiny little bit of extra info for y'all:

The datasheets for these new vehicles will be in WD as well as in PDF's on the web. So far there is no new confirmed Apoc book for the new release.

The Stormlord shoot twice if it stays still apparently.

And the others have four new(ish) weapons:

Tremor cannon (Mortar?)
Magma cannon
Siege cannon (Stormsword I suspect)
Quake Cannon (On a tank? HOLY CRAP!

Cannot confirm any of this 100%, so the usual grains of salt apply, but my source has been good so far.

BYE

good find HBMC

tremor = if it is a warlord weapon => barrage 24-360"

magma = if its a warlord weapon => super-melta 3d6+10 direct hit,otherwise 2d6+10

siege cannon = stormsword

quake = weapon from epic?

Aye the Stormlord can fire twice instead of moving, as the commander directs all power to the main weapon, allowing you to shoot at two different targets with the Hurricane Mega Bolter.

The Tremor cannon could be a souped up Earthshaker cannon for all we know.

1hadhq wrote:tremor = if it is a warlord weapon => barrage 24-360"

You're probably right. This is probably the giant Mortar Baneblade. Can't wait for that one!!!

1hadhq wrote:magma = if its a warlord weapon => super-melta 3d6+10 direct hit,otherwise 2d6+10

Good call. Giant Melta cannon Baneblade. Kinda redundant though with the presence of the Shadowsword, but this might be one of the transport Baneblades, which is something we know the Shadowsword cannot do, in which case it makes sense.

1hadhq wrote:siege cannon = stormsword

Yep, we know what that one does. Agian, I debate its necessity given the presence of the Hellhammer (or, to be more accurate, I debate the need for the Hellhammer if we have the Stormsword... then again the Hellhammer does have the Demolisher cannon as well).

1hadhq wrote:quake = weapon from epic?

Quake cannon we have rules for, in the original Apoc book in the Warlord section (I could be wrong, someone with the book on hand please correct me). From what I know the Quake Cannon is like an Earthshaker + Battlecannon to the power of 10. It's huge massive enormous weapon. Like one of the biggest ballistic weapons a titan can carry (short of anything the Imperator might be able to carry).

And if it really is a Quake Cannon, as I said, holy crap!!!!!!

BYE

Aye, the Quake Cannon is seen on the Warlord and on the drawing of it. It is a MASSIVE weapon, makes you wonder how they'll properly fit it onto such a small chassis.

The warlord has not the wole epic set of weapons in apoc.
So its either new weapon and rules or translated from epic:armageddon.

Both would be fine because they do not include any weapon i'm working on.
Nothing to stop me now Weapon = unused by GW + name = unused by GW => free for baneblade conversions and a chance to grab a new plastic shadowsword + stormlord + some other variants if liked.

Really? Could've sworn the Quake Cannon was there...

And I really want the 'Doomhammer' to be the mortar one. I know it won't be - it'll be the HammerBladeShadowStorm or something other nonsense - but Doomhammer would be cool as masssive siege mortar.

BYE

The Quake cannon is in the book, a G24-360" str 9 AP 3 ordnance 2 10" blast weapon. The barrel alone is nearly as tall as two Guardsmen.

Makes it easy to clean the barrels lol

Mmm... Quake Cannon.

*Fond memories of Warlord Titans from Final Liberation drift back to HBMC*


I've had the Quake Cannon clarified via my inside source deep throat agent type person:

260” range
2 Strength 9 AP3 shots
10” blast

Hell yeah!!
