The default gun comes with a 7 inch D ap 2 blast. This thing would make that a 7 inch Str 7 ap 4 blast. Then even weaker around it.

Why on gods earth would anyone make these stats? It's like the people at FW didn't even try and think. If they wanted mass anti infantry or the blind effect to go off lots then it should have been a very high fire rate weapon.

This is a titan! One of the strongest weapons of war. As of right now we can't kill other titans and its new primary weapon is something I would see on a regular Tau unit in the future. Not a freaking titan.

Saying the Tau players and people who payed a lot of money for the model are pissed is an understatement. I really hope they don't nerf the main gun considering the ease with which grav spam annihilates it.

Probably because they dont give a rats back side about how powerful a thing is. just that it looks cool.

they dont carry a competitive mind set. so it probably wont ever make sense.

I am afraid the heavy rail gun array is going to be Str D 1 shot. ap 1. :(

I think that is the coolest of the primary weapons so I hope its got good titan hunting capabilities instead of being another joke so I have a reason to magnetize the back.

Theoretically it's a 15" barrage weapon, so it's capable of wrecking horde armies with no cover saves allowed. That 7" D-weapon shot isn't nearly as impressive against a horde of orks with no big stuff on the table. But in a TAC list stuff D-weapons are good against is so common that you always take the D-weapon.

Apocalyptic Mega Blasts are only 5/710 range now, otherwise this might actually be useful.

It's far from a bad weapon, but so far there is only fringe cases where you wouldn't just use SD 7 inch. Even with the pulse option, an apocalpytic barrage is wildly innacurate and should almost never be chosen as the firing mode.

I benefit each way. I play Tau and Mechanicus.
And Tau are not communists. They have a clearly defined caste and class system, and trade with other societies using a currency.

They're pop culture communists. It's honestly pedantic to point out they don't match with actual communism.

There is a pretty big difference between the economic theory of communism by Marx and engels, and the political expression of authoritarian communism by lenin, stalin, mao, and others.

...not to mention crazy off topic in here!

It should be noted that this weapon does get rid of your friends a bit less quickly than the base weapon.

It needs an extra shot or two, or to be at least fifty points cheaper. Having it as a free swap for the awesomely versatile pulse driver, even with double the (already unnecessary) range is not good.

They should rework the datasheet to make the MML the base weapon and the pulse driver the expensive upgrade and reduce the starter cost to 550 or something.

Haven't see this yet... Looks pretty.

Really like the paint job on the armour.

updated Vendetta rules for DFTS

From Atia's blog and the FW Open Day:


Please do not feed the dragon, hehe.

I posted these in the AoS thread but didn't think to post them here. From Ben on the Grand Alliance forum, new stuff from the open day:

Do we think that's a Daemon Prince then?

These latest AoS models looks yuck, maybe is the lack of painting to display the details. The leaked Leman Russ primarch looks promising.

More Fimir, looks like my AoS army is decided then... Loved those spooky mist beasts since the Paul Bonner art so many years ago.

Anyone know which faction Fimir are?


Dragon is amazing, other than the raised claw, which looks stumpy and odd, I guess as it's a Work in Progress.

Destruction, I think?

Khornate Eddie for the win!!!!!!!!!

That dragon makes a great first impression, but on closer examination, the back legs look too static, the tail looks awkward and the head design means it will be very hard to establish any sort of focal point as there essentially isn't a "face" thanks to all the horns.

This was an AoS open day right, so there's no incoming 40K/30K previews?

Correct

It's the Warhammer:Age Of Sigmar open day, so no, unless you count some potential counts as stuff.

My friend will be happy. Particularly with gaining attack flyer typing. Actually if the flyer supplement wasn't banned in the ITC I dare say flier spam and countering it would be the new meta.

Some of the Age of Sigmar stuff looks better than other things - I have always liked the imagery of a warrior standing on the back of a monstrous mount, like some kind of surfing.

Anyone else feeling like his head looks a bit small, though?

I get the feeling that his helmet has become a permanent addition to his head. So, no. Not really lol.

Since it's a WIP, I'll wait to see the finished result and a painted version of it before I give it any criticism.

Daemon prince or some kind of Minotaur champion, maybe both? Either way the detail work on its shield is stunning.
