With the Lord of War section becoming common now and things like the Orc Stompa being so ridiculously overpowered for a standard deployment style army to break apart, I was curious about Forge World units stamped 'Apocalypse' being used as the Lord of War unit. I'm new to the whole Escalation ideas and curious about what I can include in that ridiculous spot so I'm not left in the cold as the codices get updated with Lords of War included.

Specifically, I'm looking at Eldar, who have the 900pt Titan of worthless in Escalation, but a very attractive Lynx super-heavy tank with a D-weapon at 320 or so in Forge World but stamped with 'Apocalypse' instead of '40k'.

I don't know about official, but I played against elder the other day and he brought a Lynx in his Lord of War slot. I didn't realise it was an issue

Forge World units that can be taken as Lords of War.

This may answer your question (the answer is yes)

Fortunately, FW released a document (here) that lists what is available as a LoW.

Short story, Cobra, Lynx and Scorpion are all available (as well as a few others).

Of course this means nothing if your group refuses to play with FW, but well...lets not start that whole argument, kay?

Thanks guys. Kills me how many places everything can be in... Makes it so fething difficult if you aren't used to the websites and such.

When it boils down to it man if you both agree that you both can bring out apoc formations in a normal game then you can.

It actually is a lot of fun and brings a different dynamic to the game. Our local Games Workshop in Raleigh is allowing this to happen and ya, its fun.

This is off topic but relevant ish..


Anyone here know on Forge World where to find a list of what models are in what imperial armour book?

Typically if you look at the Forge World model the book will be in 'related items' section. What units are you looking for?

Particularly, someone the other day mentioned a drop pod with "assault vehicle"

Hard to even see if that is a thing without having every book since nothing is just cataloged.

Lucius Pattern Drop pod

Cannot assault turn you land, but can stay inside and assault out next turn. Dreadnoughts only

I haven't seen drop pods with assault vehicles. Which faction? Imperial Guard have a list of dropship troopers and assault buggies dropped with them, Eldar Corsairs have a special rule giving any units deep strike with a certain HQ choice including tanks, Space Marines have Thunderhawk dropship to drop off massive Land Raiders, but I'm not sure about drop pods specific vehicles.

Edit: Sniped by smarter folks.

How does one stay in an open topped vehicle?

Don't drop pods specifically say you can't stay in them?

Sad that it is only dreads :(

That's a bummer.

Try this for an Index of Forgeworld units.

Being open topped has nothing to do with forcing you to disembark. That comes entirely from the (codex) Drop Pod's rules. The Lucius-pattern pod has no such rule.

You'll obviously have to get the appropriate book for the full deals, of course

Yeah that seems like a lot of fun.

I run some 5 Drop Pods right now... And Im thinking I might lean into some more

Forge World has been saying for close to a year (at least) that they'd publish a list like this
It's nowhere to be found. It's sad that we have to rely on fans to build that information, but we do.

Might wanna scroll up. The list I got from here is pretty solid.

The list built by fans? WHich is exactly what Rigeld was saying we have to rely on?

Please read other posts more carefully....

Was pointing it out in case he was implying he had to ask fans over and over about each vehicle bro relax lol

Chaos dread claws are also assault vehicles. They're AV 12 fliers with hover mode. Fly in, hope to live (jink if necessary), go into hover mode and charge. They have frag assault launchers, too, so feel free to use lightning claw terminators of slaanesh or a helbrute!

Iirc, the Eldar titan was one of the best LoW options from escalation.

It was, until FW added in a bunch of others. A warhound stands a decent chance of killing it.

I still don't like how the Imperium gets six to twelve toys in these books and other races are lucking to get mentioned....

Get use to it man. Imperium always and I mean ALWAYS gets the big toys.

Look at Tyranids, all those Gargants and not one of them is strength D, 1 has an invul, and relative wounds to damage from str D is low. Its bad to be a non Imperium race in the year 40k lol.

Well the "Imperium" being like 6 books it doesn't surprise me.

At least Tau can bring a manta
