They aren't that exciting basically a unit if poorly equipped 'mans' that can be made fearless for a flesh wall. Choice of either las locks, shotguns or heavy chain blades and can't be bought as the compulsory troop units.

And here I was thinking that they were those Servitor-looking things with the massive cannons from the Open day. Maybe they were the Destructors.

Shame about the name - Destructors. Not very inventive.

Yes the one arm and a big cannon guys where the destructors and the power axe two gun guys the secutors going by the equipment load outs.

Personally tempted to have some augmented beast men with heavy chain glaives.

this means i'm going to have to wait to get my head in the book before putting the next purchase in now as i was going to get a castellax maniple with some DKOK stuff before i get home. As much as i like Str6 AP3 weaponry i want a fire raptor popping gun!

Ok cool.

Again, thanks for the info. Lots of fun new stuff to go with the Thallaxii units I got.

do the admech still get transport options or is it just the fliers listed already?

i'm assuming its the voss pattern lightning thats listed?

cheers in advance

Voss yes, transports no except for the storm eagle.

Now they need to make a admech list in one of the IA books.

Guess it's time for me to work out a 300 quid order soonish. Might be time to invoke the Christmas Spirits!

Yea, I'm there with you.

I want the book, now to figure out what else to buy to put it over $400 for free S&H.

It's not the going over $400 that's hard, it's the keeping it close to $400.

Seems a little strange that the thallaxii have lost two of their augments ... Destructor and Empyrite have gone bye-bye.

Also, choosing Icarian switches them to Heavy Support and Ferrox makes them Fast Attack.

I like that it gives you a non-named HQ option for an Ordo Reductor force, though. And mounting them on an Abeyant might be fun.

any options to gain the interceptor rule?

The moment Forgeworld releases a Sigismund figure is when my money and I part ways. I'm sure I could use a fourth Emperor's Champion for SOMETHING.

There not missing or gone, those thalax don't have those upgrades available as there not reductor thalax, they still got them if you use reductor from betrayal

Been working on mine for a day or two.

So far 6 zone mortalis tiles, the objective marker tank thing,, 5 breacher marines, 3 thallax, 5 Tartaros with power fists and of course the book!

Well, empyrite was a useless upgrade anyway- it allowed the thallaxii cohort to deepstrike, but thallaxii are jet pack infantry, which according to the BRB can deepstrike anyway, making empyrite a complete waste of points. that may be why they have removed it.

I emailed Forgeworld about Empyrite when Betrayal came out - the explanation was that it was designed to allow the units to deepstrike in Zone Mortalis games.

So yeah, pretty useless.

@Formosa: I get that the other options are still there for a Reductor list. Just seems potentially confusing that it's different for this book.

After reading some heresy novels, I'm hoping for Garro, Saul Tarvitz, Eiodon, The whole Mournival, and pre complete psychotic break Lucius and Kharn.

For me, it'll be both HH books, and then.. well, Terminators, Cult Marines, ... it might be time to finally bite the bullet on another Greater Daemon, another contemptor (or two!), more DKOK, the new Jetbikes & Landspeeders, more superheavies, Ad Mech, Primarchs... yeah. You're bloody right, the hard part is keeping it down to $400. Looks like the Quadruple-priced Reaper Big Random Grab Bag of Bones KS will be a casualty of FW, and probably Mars Attacks as well.. Maybe I can get 2 FW orders in before Christmas that way.

I settled on the new book, a Sicaran for my IW, then Praetors, Champ/Signal, Command Set, Apoths, and some BA Etched Brass.

That put me at 250.50 for the free S&H and as close to the 250 as I could cut it for free post.

I'm trying real hard to refrain since the next book has the IW and I'll be forced to pick up many things for that army at that time.

Well I would think the head Emperors Champion(the one who would roll with Helbrect)would have Sigis armor and sword

That makes me wonder when the roll of the Emperors Champion came into place, after Sigismund's death or when he became High Marshal.

So myrmidons come in two flavours:

Modeling wise from the name (and after reading the stats) my bet is these are going to be multi-limbed 4 arms maybe, all else fits with the name.

Jack Daniels, Smirnoff, jagermeister... They always make a large FW order easier.

siege of terra, the emperor kinda asked him to paint his armor black (a fact which made him feel uncomfortable) at least according to the older fluff

is there much in the terms of fluff and colours for the ad mech units mentioned?

i'm going loyalist and would like a colour scheme that appears at the seige of terra ideally. my titan is in fire wasp colours too.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/F/FWchaptertactics.pdf

We have the Chapter Tactics and Space Marine Character updates available on our downloads page now.
I know many of you are still waiting for the Corsair list updates, we are still working on it but we don't have an eta for this at the moment.

O.o Red Scorpions have some awesome Chapter Tactics... Free FnP in all tactical squads?

Also some of those are generally awesome to begin with... I may have to look into making one or two of these chapters instead of my normal C:SM

Mantis Warriors are pretty sick. And their special librarian is crazy. Guard blob shrouded w/Divination and interceptor anyone? Normal Libbies with Divination is nice.

Lots of fun stuff in there. Loth being able to pick his powers is nasty too.

I may have to seriously re-consider the colors of this chapter I'm starting

You see the Exorcist HQ ?!

Holy crap!
Str 10, Ap 2, wounds daemons and psykers on 2+, anything that survives goes at I1 next round, FnP for his squad against Chaos stuffs, re-roll 1 miss, deny the witch on force weapon activation, and anyone with Chapter Tactics(Executioners) may reroll failed deny the witch... I think I just wet myself...
