So FW? You sell an illegal bundle - rule wise ofc?

Come on, get this FAQ'd please.

Anyone else a bit peeved with such a monumental oversight?

Wait, what? I'm confused. You're complaining that Forge World hasn't removed the two dudes the Breaching Drill could carry last edition and can't this edition? And calling it a "monumental oversight"?

...You know they sell Servitors (minimum squad 4) in units of 2, right? And Tyrannic War Veterans/Legion of the Damned dudes (minimum squad 5) in units of 4? And Honour Guard (maximum squad 2) as a pack of 4 bundled with Calgar?

Just because you can buy the squad doesn't mean it has the exact number of models you need to field that squad, or that you can field all the models in the squad in one unit.

Well I mean there is a chaos deredeo with butcher cannon array in the index. But good luck finding a butcher cannon array anywhere on there, so I just made them... Sometimes they sell cool models cause they're cool. Not for rules sake.

Are you really that upset about getting two extra guys in the bundle? Just throw them in another squad or something. They've obviously just bundled four existing products together.

P.S They sell a 'flyer wing' bundle with a Marauder and two Vultures, which isn't technically a legal flyer wing because the Marauder is a lord of war. Forge World doesn't put bundles together to make combinations that are effective or legal alone on the tabletop, necessarily - they're just intended as a way to get a cool combination of models for slightly cheaper than usual.

I think what he means is -- you cannot take DKOK Engineers at all with the Hades Drill. The Hades Drill can only hold 'veterans' now with different armament than the previously legal DKOK counterparts.

Well, the Hades Breaching Veterans have shotguns at least.

Yep, that is what I meant.

Thought the title gave it away...

But Hades vets don't have carapace armor

Well they don't have BS3+ in the book as well, and the FAQ hasn't fixed that either.

Yeah, really hoping that they FAQ the DKoK army list fairly heavily. I don't think it's a weak list right now necessarily but there is a bunch of stuff that is 100% canon for DKoK that they have to take as "allies" right now.

I know it's really a minor complaint but for a lot of us that have shelled out a frankly insane amount of money on FW models a large reason we did so was the fluff surrounding them, it would be nice if that aligned with the rules.

It would also be nice if FW and main GW worked together a bit more and the FW rules could go a few years without looking like they were edited by a 5 year old so that we could get over the "OMG no forge world!*!*!*!!!!!**" people a bit.

*EDIT* Just saw that they finally released the FAQ, which addressed most of the issues. How they handled the Hades drill is bizarre though, instead of adding it as a unit the army can take normally, which they heavily FAQ'ed as they should have they literally added a FAQ at the end to allow a special instance of where if as a DKoK player you take a Drill you can slap the DKoK regiment key word on it. You also still cannot take the DKoK engineers with the drill, you have to bring in engineers from outside the Krieg to man it, or the DKoK have to turn in all their special ammo before they go with one. *sigh* FW just cannot seem to help themselves but at least they corrected most of the unit list for the DKoK army list.
