He's been out for a while now?

Yeah, you're right, he was on the front page today like a new release but he's old.

Looks like it's another week without anything new coming out then if they're using generic things like those on the front page. Guess they're still recovering from the opening weekend.

Yeah, I am disappointed in the current hiatus after all the previews. I want to make a huge order, but not until Gulliman and Sigismund are available. Hopefully the release of these two does not take too long ...

My guess is that they want to keep those for the upcoming events for now, get people to go to their stand and may be pick up a few other things while they are there?

No they probably have a backorder from the weekend, I know some people have got the Sigismund they placed an order for already. They normally release them pretty quickly after the event they first become available at.

Received my Vindicator Laser Destroyer yesterday- I ordered it on the 29th May. Big backlog of orders on that thing apparently!

Verify your hate before broadcasting!

It is another case of FW doing what sells, I'd guess.

I have a Warlord sized hole being burnt in my pocket. Just let me preorder it, backordered is fine!

I know its not on topic but what would you take as the special weapons in two six man units of skitarii one phased plasma puhsil in each that i know. The other choiced boil down to multi melta or photon thruster the irad clenser wont see use so is a waste.

Phased plasma fusil every time.

And they're called 'thallax' btw...

Aye, mixing weapons isn't always a good idea. Taking two phased plasma rifle (in the 40 watt range) is always a good idea, perfect for frying anything in power armour.

Hey, just what you see, pal!

Not everyone has the hobby budget to buy all those bits. Hey, sometimes the only option is just what you see, pal.

dammit! Ninja'd!

I know the plasma gun is good but i need some anti amour and the multimelta is best for that.

Are you playing against 30k lists? If so I really wouldn't bother with melta, most things you need to use the melta on are immune via armoured ceramite, I'd look elsewhere as Thallax aren't really geared up to take on heavy armour in 30k. Obviously against 40k lists melta is awesome.

Yes but i dont want twelve thallax with the same weapon and if i take the phton thruster knowing me i will fail my gets hot.
So the multi mela has a decent range all right power and a good engough ap im gonna make one termie die.

Against troops I'd be looking to take the irad, you'll usually hit more models, almost certain to wound anything as its fleshbane, then lower the unit's toughness making it easier for your other weapons to wound. Most terminators I see on the table in 30k come with a 4++, you need to be forcing a volume of saves rather than one or two AP2/1 shots, one melta is like 0.22 of a wound against a 4++, an irad hitting 3 guys is 0.41 wounds.

this.

Ordo reductor has better anti-tank weapons than the thallax in the legion medusa or the imperial avenger strike fighter.
Ordo Cybernetica has better anti-tank with myrmidon secutors or flyers with funky missiles.
Taghmata has krios venators, myrmidon secutors, flyers with funky missiles.

If you really are intent on bringing thallax to the heavy armour then meltabombs are your choice. 5pts each, keep your lightning guns, everyone can joint the party and it neatly side-steps armoured ceramite with the armourbane rule. combine with destructor augment for maximum effect.

Sorry to break up the conversation, but does any one have intel on the Chaos Knight?

You can have it as a errant or pladin other than that didnt see any thing on it.

I certainly hope FW does more Chaos Knights. I always found it funny that the weapon on Acheron and think the Castigator Knight as well were the names of two weapons available for chaos Knights in epic; so it'd be a little disappointing if those don't carry over to Chaos.

I got a feeling to expect what they did for chaos contemptors and some other units. They will give us the rules but you need to convert the loyalist model over to chaos your self.

I don't expect them to redo every version into Chaos, but a chaos armor plate upgrade like they did for the plastic knight model could just as easily be done for the Lancer chassis and effectively cover all of those. Beyond that I'd just hope to see more knight-sized Daemon engines like the Khornate one that's been previewed.

If there are rules for a Chaos Knight, I won't buy the presumed conversion kit. Why? It will be expensive. Just look at the Warhammer World photo, it's half Resin! I'd rather jsut convert one myself.

I'm guessing it'll cost the same as the Questoris Knights if it's a full kit (£110).

Huh, that's... less than I thought. It's just an estimate, though.

It's a pretty educated estimate, they look to have the same amount of resin as the chaos knight does.

Or you can just use the chaos contemptor model and rules they came out with.. the ghal vorbak one.

Sigh so disappointing to go to FW's site and having nothing new. Love being australian in this hobby.
Wow apparently I am feeling disgruntled at GW :(
