Malcador and Valdor Tank Variants (Pages 48, 49, 50 & 90)
For all of these unit profiles, under the heading Unit Type replace "Vehicle (Super-heavy)" with the Unit Type “Vehicle (Tank)”. Note that the Fast type is still in effect where applicable.


Been out of the loop for quite some time now, but this feels like a nerf. I guess they were too good.

Well, it is indeed, and if it applies also for their 40K rules in the next FaQ or so,
it sure sucks big time for my (already phased out and with poor rules) renegades...

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

They fixed Ashen Circle!

Now only are they 5 points cheaper per model but their Axe-Rakes are now AP3 (they were AP6)! Also, they can be joined by Moriats and Chaplains (with Jetpacks)!!!

Frag and Phosphex Rapiers were nerfed pretty hard. They were Heavy 4, 3" blast, now they are Heavy 1, 5" Blast.

As someone that was running a list heavy on those and Vorbak...that almost seems broken. That's how it feels at least.

I really wouldn’t go so far as the say FW is “poor”. It’s more that they’re not really any better than GW but charge higher prices. I do really like their Necromunda releases.

On the other hand, if FW ever decided to produce MkIII armour in Primaris scale, I’d be all over it.


I think when people say “FW” they mean the Forge World resin releases, not the Specialist Games plastic stuff which is consistently excellent.


Yes, I mean that too. When I say FW’s Necromunda releases I’m talking about things like the bounty hunters and the head and weapon packs.

No, there are no Primaris marines in the 31st millennium. What there are though are space marines that are consistently described as giants in the background and a model range that utterly fails to reflect that.

I think it puts them on more of an even footing with other melee units in other armies (like the Invictarus Suzerain).

Hmm, perhaps. I know for sure I might wanna play 30k again at some point with that same list, so I'm not complaining as long as it ain't considered broken.

The size of the models was fine when everything was still in house and scaled properly. Then plastic Heresy models happened and everything Forgeworld produces now looks scrawny in comparison. I bought Kharn and some Red Butchers recently and was amazed at how tiny they are compared to my Calth minis.

Oh I'm pretty happy I can now attach apothecary units to my slayers without gimping myself, that's going to make getting them across the board easier.

The armour's decent enough (bit bright for my taste), but a lot of the detail work is distinctly average or tonally out of step. The red in particular could stand to be improved and taken back toward the more purple end of the spectrum.

The only thing I don't like is that the corpse on the dreadnought just looks like its randomly stuck there. I think because its big and bulky and quite random - a chain of heads fits, but a single body just sorta chained there looks wrong. I think it would look better atop a shoulder impaled on spikes or with several bodies chained to its body.

I don't mind the corpse so much. It would look much better if it weren't so clean though, this is a piece of flesh chained up to a hulking war-machine.

Yeah, I see what you mean. As for the reason for its presence? Previous pilot, with the Dread being liberated from another Legion?

There's an image plate at the back of Book VI describing this very thing. The Leviathan was originally Ultramarines which the Nightlords helped themselves to. The previous occupant was, ahem, evicted under protest...

Absolutely needs some blood spatter and a general macabre mess across the front of it.

They seem to be moving away from the previous very dark blue color for the Night Lords, which is unfortunate as it make the lightning pointless because of the lack of contrast with the lighter blue. Even the dice are darker than these models...

That's mildly terrifying. I like that angle.

Still needs more blood like someone said though.
