Maybe that's why they turned traitor? Horus promised them wider doors for their ridiculously large helmets and were still angry from when the Emperor told them to buy smaller hats...

I really like the poses and the helmets overall. However the batwings are a little too large, also i like to think the batwings came after they went 'Full chaos', iirc they were more into skull helms. I think the skulls over the faceplate are great though.
The thing i REALLY don't like is the 'flesh marigolds' one of them looks like a cannibal vet who's away to deliver a baby cow.

I seem to recall Sevatar's helm having wings ....?
Maybe that was a "dress" variant or somesuch....

Judging by the fact that i have no idea who Sevatar is, you can deduce that i'm no expert  EDIT: I also said 'I like to think that', a disclaimer that has served me well on this forum! I just recall a pre-heresy artwork with a rad skull faceplate sans batwings.

But only one. There's no rule in Apoc to prevent you just putting a group of Titans on the table, from any faction you like, Escalation is just one unit, in a standard FOC with limitations based in faction.

I guess it's got the rules for putting a Lord of War slot in your FOC, and some scenarios that supposedly make the most of that, and the datasheets for GW's plastic SHVs. So you grab that, and now with this free PDF, you can expand the datasheet section with your imperial armour books or what have you.

I think the big wings are a dress uniform thing and for officers. I always liked the wings and use them on my officers if they are wearing helms. These new ones are pretty cool. I have other things on my need list though so 15 Night Raptors are going to have to wait. Still need another Sicarius and a Fire Hawk. Meh, maybe after Christmas bills are paid off.

If you dont short hand your list, Im not reading it.
Example: Assault Intercessors- x5 -Thunder hammer and plasma pistol on sgt.
or Assault Terminators 3xTH/SS, 2xLCs
For the love of God, GW, get rid of reroll mechanics. ALL OF THEM! |

The "only" one restriction is a bit misleading since you can use a reaver titan as your "one" choice and then fill in the rest of the army with some minimum sized units. A reaver titan and a cheap HQ and two troops ( GK) can fit in 1610pts. If that's not an " apoc" style list then I don't know what is. IG can get in around 1650. I don't have the SOB codex so I don't know where they come in.

Well, not wowed by the raptors but still like them enough to get some to eventually mix and match in my army.

Or read anything Jervis has written in White Dwarf in the past year. He makes it plainly clear that they have no interest in building a set of clear, concise, internally consistent rules for competitive 40k. In fact, he thinks that anyone who wants clear, concise, consistent rules is playing the game wrong and has come out and said so.
To bring things back on topic, screw the Lords of War. We want more chainglaives.
