That tank should become an unofficial Dakka mascot. In Horus Heresy games it puts out 18 shots. Add in 4 heavy bolters (or 3 heavy bolters and an assault cannon if you're blood angels) for a nice big fat 30 shots. That's a lot of bullets for one tank!

The fluff blurb on the rules makes me very curious about the Cerberus battle tank it mentions.

Send that to the admins...

Hey FW: make us a Cerberus Main Battle Tank!

Bit weird, as they've already got something called the Cerberus:

It is so bad even FW forgets about it!

They're clearly going for the American WWII naming convention,

You want an M4? Is that the M4 medium tank, the M4 light tank etc

Yes but that's the Cerberus Tank Destroyer, not the Cerberus Main Battle Tank.

Its alot like the US naming conventions for gear. Back when there was the M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine, the M1 Thompson, M1 Flamethrower, ect...

THIS!!



BEHOLD THE MIGHTY CERBERUS BATTLE TANK!!!! FRESH FROM THE PHOTO-EDITING FORGES OF EMBER'S COMPUTER!!¨

Fun fact: Forgeworld was originally going to call this the Sabre. Check the Betrayal black book description for the Cerberus.

Which was more in line with RT era canon, right?

If the gatling gun was centre mounted on the turret, I could like it. However, the angled bracket just looks impractical on a vehicle that is otherwise superb.
That missile variant is just odd, why fire multiple mini missiles out of earch barrel?
The plasma variant looks to be the best of the new three though. It maintains the look of the original but changes the primary loadout, similar to the deredeo's autocannon / plasma / las options.

Ask and ye shall receive...

Mechanicum red book Page 33 - Calleb Decimas Isstvan 3 army list restrictions - can take 0-1 heavy support choice from the space marine legion army list with the tank type only

I think the old RT-era Saber ended up being the Vindicator with laser destroyer array in current FW vehicles.

next 8th edition FAQS

BrookM will be happy that Elysian Sergeants got their Lasguns back...

Maybe Guard in general will get that soon.

One can hope, but at least I can field my Elysians again without opponents being colossal witches about it.

They didn't fix Renegade Militia having all their upgrades refer to cultists so technically militia squads still can't take special weapons, vox, icons or champion items.

Death Korps Grenadiers got their heavy stubbers back.

And the DKoK got twin heavy stubbers back.

Hehe good point! It's a little too corner case for me to actually pull the trigger on, though, since that army list invalidates a lot of my other stuff. Thanks for the tip, though

Damn, they fixed the time-travelling Macharius Vulcan. I was waiting for someone to paint one up like a TARDIS.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
They did not, however, fix the Lightning and Marauder Destroyer having infinite missiles. So have fun with that.

For you Ork players, the FAQ states that your missing datasheets will be on FW site/WarCom.

Yeah, the Thunderbolt and Lightning also have infinite missiles, but what with them all being -1 BS when you want to shoot them..

They're still very, very frightening.

Any of them piloted by Galileo?

Galileo? GALILEO!?

Figaro magnifico...

They fixed Guard having stackable markerlights. How will they ever survive now?

Can't look at work. Did they give Tyberos and Asterion 7 wounds for having Terminator armor?

Y'vahrah/R'varnah got better thanks to shield donres and shielded missile drones. They have a 5+ feel no pain so when the shielded drone takes a hit they actually get a save against the mortal wound now. 5+.

I hope this change follows its way over to all shields drones.

Tigershark can fire all its guns now.

Oh, oh oh Oh
OH Mamma Mia let me go...

Asterion has 7 wounds, but Tyberos is unchanged.

Its mostly just errata to fix the obvious mistakes, the tiger shark can now move and fire macro weapons, Culln and Moloc can deep strike, the DKoK have access to earthshaker carriages, R'lai's drones do things now, the fire support hammerhead got a price cut.
