Geeze, he has the literal stat-line of a tank.


Dreadnought. Salamander Dreadnought Captain. Didn't they have something like that in the past?


Not a Captain I don’t think, but there is a Forgeworld character dread for Salamanders. It’s on my list of things to convert, but I need to modify a Redemptor fist to be right handed.

Those leaks look pretty heavily edited to my, albeit untrained, eye. Like point costs are missing for some reason and no primaris character unless I missed something. Also the big old clickbait watermark on the images makes me somewhat suspicious.

Bob, the guy from War of Sigmar who posted them, said he was sent the images and that he personally removed the point costs.

That doesn't make me less suspicious. Why include those calculations and scrub the point costs from the images?

I'm with you there. The biggest red flag for me is that lack of Primaris Character. It wouldn't fit the pattern. Iron Hands got an all new Character just to fit the bill.
While I'd like it to be Vulkan He'stan, I guess it would be ok to be some rando-Captain, but the photo mysterious cuts off before seeing if Ardax has the Primaris keyword (though he likely does considering his increased W & A)

Because This is most likely a playtest version and GW could trace it back to the leaker if they knew that this was playtest version 3 when the pets of such and such were x.

GW also puts things in their playtest versions that allow them to see if a specific set get leaked. Could be a deliberate typo, etc

But why? Iron Hands got a new primaris character because they had no named character before. Salamanders only have Vulkan, so he should have been Primarized. Just like Shrike and Khan.

Sometimes they update existing characters, sometimes they introduce new ones. That's always been GW's way.

It may well be as simple as GW looking at Vulkan and saying "ya know the minis aged so well I don't think we can really improve him much by making him Primaris"

However good the model is, it's 'Fine'cast, so sooner or later it will either be replaced with plastic or quietly go away.

No, because then he would have become a primaris.

Yeah a 5" moving character like that is sooooooo stupid?

Who cares he's not going to do anything.

Because sculptors just made a different mini. Simples.

Sculptors at GW do their thing. Making the rules and background match isn't their job. And people who do those jobs are quite a bit further down the foodchain at GW.

A t7 gravis captain has 7 wounds and a 4+ invul. At -1 to wound, anything s8 or better will wound him on 4's.

While tough, he only has a power fist and a power sword with slightly more damage. That's it, and you're spending your relic and warlord trait to make him more survivable, but not more killy.

A smash captain will destroy him the same way a smash captain destroys anything, and will probably be cheaper in points, more mobile, and more flexible. A smash captain taking those relics or warlord traits will be wasted because you want relics and warlord traits that increase his damage, not his defense.

While it makes for some amazing fluffy units and super tough stuff, I don't see it changing the meta at all.

Did you know orks can have a 4+/5++/T8 warlord that can move 20" and then charge?

Though so. That's how awesome addition toughness traits on characters with less than 10 wounds are

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

That’s why you also use the Stratagem that lets him have two Warlord Traits so he can also be Strength 6, swinging around a Strength 12 Powerfist!

Before the ork codex was released, marine players used to tell me "BRB traits aren't terrible".
