Yea... it is the largest 40k model you can field and the second largest Imperial Titan (I think). Pretty sure it needs to be stacked with wounds to reflect the absurd durability of it.

Plus, that seems like a lot, but it how many points again?

One can infer that its 4000 points, assuming that points = PL * 20. Without equipment.

That would be a correct inference, except with the caveat that all its equipment costs 0, which is... weird... since it implies every option is equally good, but whatevs, I'll never use it.

Huh, that is weird. I guess they didn't want to make the titans more expensive.

More likely they're doing what they did in the past and left all the options as free rather than balance them because they don't expect it to matter at the points levels these things will be played at.

It's worth noting the Tarantulas are also hilariously cheap, point wise.

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

Thank you! fast attack choice as well? A good tax unit for a brigade detachment! Twin Lascannon may be a bit to many points for a T% four wound model though, think ill stick with the heavy bolters.

Previously, they were Heavy Support but had Deep Striking capabilities. Now? Someone probably messed up.

Yeah, they used to be able to boy deep strike and camo as kind of a forward turret/advance thing (so fast, which they were then too, kind of made sense). Now, yeah, fast doesn't make much sense.

They're pretty spectacularly cheap for their durability, and always have been.

I believe they are fast attack coices in the HH.
It reduces the strain on the very crowded heavy support section.
Lets face it, given the options in the heavy support section, would you ever choose a tarantula sentry gun?

Horrible Hekatrix With Hydra Gauntlets




Hey everyone, just got back from taking a brief look at both unreleased indices at Warhammer world. Happy to answer questions about anything I can remember if you guys are interested.

To start with some highlights - the Heirophant is 90 power, 50 wounds, toughness 9. It has two bio-cannons that are S10 AP-2 with six shots each and 2D6 damage. They're also macro weapons, so that damage is doubled vs titanic enemies.

Both Heirodules are T8 22W and around 21 power. I believe the barbed Heirodule has identical guns to the Heirophant except with only 1d6 damage - they might also not be macro, I'm not sure. Don't remember the details of their melee, but they have a special set of scything talons that are called 'gargantuan scything talons' or something similar.

The Phantom titan is T9 with 60 wounds. It's closer to the reaver than the Warlord in price, around 140ish power IIRC. The Revenant is more like 60 power, so cheaper than the Warhound now. Its pulsars get 2d6 S16 shots each. I didn't see the stats for the sonic lances, unfortunately.

The most detailed look I got was at the Dark Eldar stuff. Tantalus is 350 points w/ all gear. It's T7, has 18 wounds and 2 6-shot disintegrators. It's also S8 AP-2 in melee with 6 attacks. It can transport 16 models, and if your warlord is on board all Drukhari in LOS get to use his leadership as long as they aren't in cover. The reaper is 150 points all in. It has one gun that can fire either d6 darklance shots or 2d6 S6 AP0 shots - either way, if you hit the target can't advance. Also has a shock-prow equivalent by a different name for free.

I'm happy to see that 21 power is about 25% lower than a Wraithknight with only 2 fewer wounds.Looks like no more arbitrarily high points value for basically the same statline!

Do you remember anything about defensive abilities of the big Nids? Do they still get anything like FNP or an invuln?

I remember they had a bunch of extra biomorphs I didn't read up on, but not what those were. Fairly sure the Heirophant at least has a FnP of sorts and/or some kind of spore cloud, and all 3 can have bio-plasma. I think the big guy might have the option for a transport capacity as well.

The Pylon has a great gun, but is -1 to hit versus grounded units. -.-
Aside from that, there were a bunch of cool anti-armour options (which I think is a weakness for the Necrons rn? Don't play them but that's what I've heard) but I don't recall a whole lot about them. Sentry pylons looked great.

Gargantuan Squiggoth is relatively cheap, like 400ish points, and has a ton of wounds - something like 44 iirc. Mediocre armour/toughness to compensate, though. The Kustom Stompa is in there, but I didn't look at it long enough to remember anything else. Lifta-droppa wagon gets D6 autohit shots, roll over the opponents strength on 3D6 to do a mortal wound. I presume the Stompa's is the same, but I can't confirm. Chinork is a dedicated transport now. Unfortunately that's all I got time to look at, but we'll know the rest of the details in a few hours.

I'm just mor3 curious on the Overlord character. Khutlakh I think is how the name is spelled?
