Removed - Rule #1 please

Removed - Rule #1

What I've learned from this thread : I'm not allowed to complain if I don't see a new Ragnar Blackmane model for Saga of the Beast. I can't complain because I play 'Space Marines', even though that particular model is almost 30 years old (and I bought him when he came out).

I also play Eldar, and the majority of my Phoenix Lords (and Warp Spiders) are almost as old. Can't complain there, either, because Necrons haven't had as many units.

Dang.

Anyone else considering using the new AoS Magister model as a sorcerer on disk?

I just want it as it makes a nice unique mini for the 40k RPGs.

It's okay, we're all gonna have a great time when Fulgrim comes...

I'm rather sure that Hybrid's recollection of past discussions quite accurate.

Removed - Rule #1 please

Dark Angels got a single model (and a pretty boring one at that), so all the anti-marine players can rejoice and carry on with their Christmas festivities!

Really hope the rules for the DAs are impressive because that model is currently the least inspired among all the new marine characters (besides maybe Tiggy). Also want to see the GKs get a significant boost. Not concerned about TS, you have a Primarch therefore you have no voice

EDIT: Never mind. This is just going to be a repeat of every thread with discussions about Marine releases lately, where the Mods have to come in and sift through the wreckage.

Right now the only realistic primarch return for Loyalists would be Russ.

I am a proponent of the Lions return, but on the tabletop he wouldn't be any different than Guilliman.

I could see him being slightly more shooty, less buffy, possibly faster.

It would be hard to NOT be less buff-y than Guilliman. From a lore perspective, I'd rather see the Lion return. Between him, Luther, and the Fallen, there's a more interesting set of stories to tell. Russ howling at the moon with his dogs sounds kinda boring.

For the sake of all of us, can we please just use the ignore button and prevent EVERY SINGLE RELEASE from descending into the same derivative nonsense?

This is news and rumours, not whining and moaning. Can we get a sub forum for that btw?

pretty much this...then Tyranids finally get here en masse....then necrons nuke the galaxy...then old ones return and start all over.


Lazarus looks ok but really think he should've been in gravis.

I hope that GW would just all the marine releases out the way for hopefully a large non-marine focus post PA.

My bold prediction: Dangels will be improved enough by this book that they fly to the top of competitive rankings and actually require a nerf.

Da will most likely get rules bringing them up to the same level pa3 brought ba to.

The more interesting thing will be seeing just how good the new gk mono bonus is. Although I'm glad they're getting it it does open up the question of if they can do it for gk in pa why couldn't they give mono faction bonuses to other factions featured so far in pa?

The ts teaser shows that gw is willing to bring hh rules to 40k once again just like many of the legions rules in faith and fury did. That's good. Just wish they'd go further with it.

Not that impossible.

DA were among the best marine factions prior to the marine codex.
If they receive the codex goodies too, they will easily become really strong. Not only that, but DA have always been the best marines at actually killing marines, so in a marine meta they rejoyce.

Here in wiki info on the nine cults. Five pre heresy nine post. I am worried because I am actually excited by this.

Same. I just hope we don't have to sacrifice the 6" bonus to get them.

I'm guessing they're gonna get a save boost. And we've all seen what that did to ossiarchs with petrifex elite...

Yup. Less buffs, and more combat oriented than that pencil pusher in literally every way.

Warnings and suspensions have been handed out like coal and other things one would rather not find in a stocking or under the tree.

That said, kindly stay on topic, do not devolve into whinging about X/Y/Z again for the umpteenth time and please people, do try to be excellent to one another.

Another great job with a primaris marine! I really do like the proportions other than the wings on the helmet. I would have preferred those to be about 50% smaller to go with the more realistic proportions of the Mk X armor. YMMV.

He looks quite snazy imo.

Yeah, that helmet would have been great for the Primaris Azreal conversion I did not long ago. Not sure how many DA players need another HQ option though - good job most of them just got cheaper I guess!

I really hope so. My last game with DA was against Ultras and the difference in rules quality was night and day. Literally every unit they used was affected by some new special rule or stratagem, while my marines were stuck with the unmodified stats.

More than anything I just want my ~3k points of Deathwing to be viable.

You know? I actually kind of love the big ridiculous eff-off Dark Angel helmet-wings on a nice pragmatic knightly little primaris helmet. It's a sort of hilarious blend of Space Marines at their most over-the-top with their most restrained, and old early 90s GW design philosophy meeting the late 2010s design philosophy. I appreciate you, silly little helmet! Keep doing your thing! Don't let the haters bring you down!

nah the shoulder pads are for writing the names of that space marine hero who wore the armor back in the 37 millenium and you're assured died heroicly, being a hero, for heroic reasons!

I wonder if Harlequins are gak out of luck when it comes to getting new rules here.
They were left out of the Eldar book completely.

I'm sure they'll get something.

Maybe Harli's vs Custodes, "Golden throne messanger run 2 webway boogaloo?
