Psychic warlord? Dammit FW. Are you trying to get me to buy another warlord? Because it won't work!

I feel the pain. Did you finish your Warlord?

I rather like how the Wolves army looks, particularly the Terminator with the Heavy Bolter.

Ravens and Wolves then?

It's halfway painted. I've made good progress, but each time I go down to it in my hobby room and I see it sitting there blocking my queue I feel like the inevitable heat death of the universe becomes a slightly more tempting option.

Lol

Are there any indications we're going to see Adeptus Titanicus models revealed tomorrow?

I know that feeling. I'm in the process of repairing mine from an incident before getting back to painting/final construction.

At least the arms and head are magnetized, so it should be possible to swap in psy titan parts if I like them. May actually stick to just a psy titan in epic instead.

Hope it means that other warlord weapons will be seeing release. We need some more carapace mounts (and for the Reaver as well! )

So FW is now on the power creep train with the 2 new legions for sure.....

Just do some comparisons power level wise between the new legions and old ones.....

SW are just flat out better than most if not all the other legions they have done rules for....and my guess is the thousand sons are to once I really start looking at their rules.

I mean man---poor EC players lol gotta be like I got +1 init on charge and crusader then looks at SW rules and the huge list of special units and frost wpns and is like really???

SW have all their rules in one place. EC have them spread across several books. And all of the covered legions are about even with a Primarch, 2-3 unique units, 2-4 characters, legion traits, rites of war, often a unique weapon or two.

SWs are also more restrictive... all their Consuls are non-compulsory, they must take a HQ per 1000pts and they have a single compulsory Troop Choice (their special Despoilers).

And really it fits the fluff. The SWs and T-Sons were the most different of all the Legions structure-wise.


T-Sons might be a bit nasty to face with all the Psykers they can bring, but they also pay out the nose for that and their non-Psykers get less bonuses than the normal units of pretty much every other legion. Plus the more Psykers you spam the more Perils you are likely to get and the more army-wide pinning tests you have to make and pass.



They might be a bit above the curve but honestly we won't know for sure until they hit the table. However I'm fairly confident they aren't as powerful as you think they are.

just sit and compare the SW rules to the older legions...and the SW "restrictions" arent that bad esp since their "special" tacticals get 1 per 5 special wpns and can run and charge in the same turn for basically no draw back.

An when I saw older Im talking even after they were updated.

Even in the special melee wpns the SW win over almost everyone else short of like BA and WS. As they pay same or lower points for effectively better weapons.

Havent seen a full read out of thousand sons yet other than lots of psyker specials as expected.

Have seen the full pages of all the SW specials and they are much better than most the other legions...think only BA have about as good of rules with the awesome sword, good to wound, and assault cannon spam.

From the leaks I saw it seems that Ts get bonuses based on cults. So if you take the divination cult for a HS squad they can reroll 1s in the shooting fase if thy don't move during the movement phase. There are also +1 to sweep and run, fear and ad will, HoW or 2 of it if you allready had it. And Mgnus gives good buffs, +1 leadership and fearless for thw whole army, so you don't get pinned by perills.

I saw a link on the last page for the SW rules, is there any such thing for the Thousand Sons?

Yup.
Also one for the Custodes and Sisters.

Oh, there is +1invuln if you pick the telekinesys cult (up to 3++) and the one wth adamantium will gives not fear, but imunity to fear.

THANK YOU

No problem, found the links on Reddit.

Probably should have shared all 3 at the same time... but I must admit I was busy looking wide-eyed at the flavour the 3 lists have.


Also I thought I'd never say this... but FW has actually made me kind of want to start a SW legion army. That list just drips flavour and lacks anything glaringly stupid (I still think they're a bunch of hypocrites though ).

So can the SW only play at 3000 points max?

Why?

The whole 'must have 1 HQ per 1000pts' rule they have.

Though I'd imagine RAI you can.

Thank you very much good Sir.

Now wash your mouth out and go sit in the corner and think about what you just said typed!

Matt - your a scholar and a gent!

Been tearing my hair out trying to find this for days lol.

Waah, I'm sorry Drasius!





I'm just the messenger. We should be thanking reddit user Lord_twisted for posting the images and making them easy for me to find .

Thanks for posting those pictures here. I think I'm sold on the Custodes, really liking them.

The Jetbikes look ace.

Any Titans?

New TS dread and possibly siege tyrants:

Thanks, Mad Doc and ImAGeek

I hope you forgive me the joking remark, that I don't find it surprising the Thousand Sons lost, using such a bad sword design vs. armored oppenents
